Well, Eggheads, do we have a deep topic to cover today. And, it barely matters since the events of the 13th. In the light of the Supreme Court's ruling on the former president's immunity, we decided we wanted to voice our thoughts and those of several impassioned writers on Medium! Which I will list now:

1. The Discord Among Democrats Is Only Natural and Makes Me Proud to Vote Blue by Ben Ulansey
2. This Country Is Screwed by TAM
3. With fear for our democracy by Dan Canon*
4. It’s Worse Than You Think by Robert W Ahrens*
5. 21st Century Divine Right to Rule by Author, D. Denise Dianaty*
6. SCOTUS Crowns Trump as King by Caren White*
7. Ten Things Biden Can Do Now That He Has Immunity by Charles Bastille*
8. House Democrats are Taking on the Supreme Court by Caren White

The Great Nominator himself, Gerald Sturgill, was The Hidden Egg's first interview of the season. A friend of the podcast, TheSturg (as many know him) has been a force to be reckoned with on Medium for years now. We were honored to be able to ask him about his journey to get here. We get to hear his difficulties, his successes, and his favorite articles. Let's all give some reads to this criminally under-boosted mainstay of Medium and check out some of his work! There's enough there to keep you entertained for hours or days or weeks!

For this episode, TAM and mort decided to explore a corner or two of the 'manosphere.' What started as a quest researching men's issues turned into a revelation that so much of what men are writing about has to do with the ideas of 'toxic masculinity' and how that affects men.

Our main attractions were:

1. It’s Time to Stop Idolizing Extreme Men by Daniel Midson-Short
2. Not All Masculinity is Toxic by Matthew Maniaci
3. Can’t Make it as an Alpha Male? Here Are Some Options by Patrick Metzger
