Journey to the Fringe

Journey to the Fringe

For us there’s no cryptid too creepy, topic too trivial, or djinn to dreary. Also we like to do exposes on assholes of the UFO community. To keep things fresh (and also because we aren’t really sure how to start

As Chelsie and Taylor spiral into questions about robot rage, Boston Dynamics trauma, and why humans immediately bully anything with a motherboard, one thing becomes clear: the future is here, it’s getting shoved around, and it might be keeping score.Source:

Journey to the Fringe ·

2025/12/31

In this episode, we unpack a chilling investigation out of Milan alleging that wealthy Westerners paid to enter the Bosnian War as “sniper tourists,” shooting civilians for sport during the siege of Sarajevo. It’s one of the bleakest, most morally gut‑punching stories we’ve ever covered — the kind that forces you to confront the outer limits of human cruelty and the uncomfortable possibility that similar horrors may still be happening in modern conflicts. It’s dark, it’s haunting, and it’s exactly
