☀️ Summer Edition: The most notorious gay murder… wasn’t quite what we thought

Plus, deep dives on crypto-nazis, MIA and tin foil hats, sexist young men, wokeism and more!

Dear loyal DWYT reader,

Welcome to a special SUMMER EDITION of the newsletter. This week and next, we’re taking some much-deserved time to relax, enjoy the sunshine and, after that insane presidential debate, take a break from politics. Thus, we’ve prepared a special edition newsletter with some deep dives into cultural and social issues we believe warrant attention (or are, quite simply, interesting!).

Grab a beach towel, pour a bevvie, pull up to the pool and click a link below! ☀️ 🏝🍸
