The Midterms: Woke 3.0 vs Anakinposting

November 11, 2026 · 43 min

Show notes

Welcome to Touching Grass, where two extremely online people attempt to explain internet discourse to people sensible enough to spend their time offline. This week, Lucy Reade and James Ball discuss how the online world has reacted to the US Midterm results. The Democrats have revelled in their victory, declaring that Woke 3.0 shall be installed, whereas the Republicans are drowning their sorrows while pretending they’re in Star Wars.
