6. Does Twitter Suffer from Borderline Personality Disorder?

Sarah falls into the rabbit hole of the Depp-Heard trial, and Nancy cries over journalism (and the best story she's read this year).
6

A forensic psychologist says Amber Heard has borderline personality disorder, and Nancy and Sarah diagnose social media with the same. Also on the docket: Johnny Depp’s blind spot on drinking + the possible decline of political correctness + the mediocrity of journalist Margaret Sullivan versus the greatness of journalist Tom Junod + a gripping piece on sexual violence at Penn State + the invisible strings of Twitter come for Nancy, but never forget the real star of every episode is YOU, dear listener.
