December 10, 2021 06:00 - 1 hour - 58.6 MBThe Biden admin "diplomatically" boycotts the Beijing Olympics and opens itself up to scrutiny into its own human rights atrocities. Biden admin brazenly pretends its hands are tied when it comes to waiving patents on vaccines. Camel beauty contests in Saudi Arabia crack down on botox injections.

More and more people just might be noticing some fundamental problems but are still a million light years from a general strike or even a Howard Beale "Mad as hell" moment. Climate summits are mainly just monstrous wastes of time and energy, all the way down to the subatomic level. Climate science has spoken on the voodoo of "net zero."

110 - The Machine Stops by E.M. Forster
October 22, 2021 08:00 - 1 hour - 66.7 MBIn another edition of our ongoing Book Club series, we discuss the bafflingly prescient and hugely unknown E.M. Forster proto-science fiction and dystopian story The Machine Stops. This was written in 1909 yet managed to very accurately predict technologies like the internet, including its ability to be used as a device that can allow people to never leave the house: video conferencing, delivering food, clothes, music, literature and even artificial oxygen all to individuals living in isolat...
109 - Flow My Beers, the Policemen Said
October 19, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 69 MBWe discuss the largely forgotten story of one of the largest riots in New York City history. In September 1992, some 10,000 off duty NYPs descended upon City Hall in a racially charged and drunken protest/riot, with their fury directed at Mayor David Dinkens, NYC's first and so far only Black mayor. We take a look at the details of the bizarre spectacle of off duty and on duty cops meeting at a bit of an "awkward" crossroads during the riot, the historical context of the event, and the instr...
108 - Bloodless Meridian, or Jailed For a Crime That Doesn't Exist
October 15, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 64.8 MBWe discuss the investigative journalism of the recently published article "Black Children Were Jailed for a Crime That Doesn’t Exist. Almost Nothing Happened to the Adults in Charge" about a sinister judge (Judge Donna Scott Davenport) ruling in in Rutherford County, Tennessee with totally unchecked impunity and an wholly deranged and bombastic sense of moral superiority. For more than 20 years now she's been sending numerous children, some as young as young as 7 years old, to a corrupt and ...
107 - Reverse Sinema Logistics of the Faux-vel Office
October 12, 2021 08:00 - 1 hour - 63.4 MBThe distractions of the interlocking bullshit from both QAnon and BlueAnon as recently exemplified by Tucker Carlson and Third Reich wunderkind Steven Miller's latest flame-fanning nonsense about the White House's fake Oval Office. The bizarre subterranean markets and mind-boggling waste from our big-box online overlords. Why is it China's responsibility to process all the world's garbage-rubbish-trash? Would a prison really spend 10 years and $20,000 just to refuse to give a blanket to an i...
106 - Stowing Away on The Korean Wave
October 07, 2021 14:00 - 1 hour - 69.9 MBWe address several excellent questions and comments from a listener (u/joshuaism) about Korean culture, partially through the lens of the currently extremely popular Korean streaming series Squid Game.

The parliamentarian wields more "power" over the entire legislative and executive branches.

September 16, 2021 09:00 - 2 hours - 84.6 MBToday we read from the essay "Everyone is Beautiful and No One is Horny" by Raquel S. Benedict, which examines the evolution of fitness culture in the realm of Hollywood films, contrasting the current moment primarily with the cinematic expressions of the 1980s and 90s. Interesting parallels are drawn between social atomization, residential architecture, a society gripped by fear and the need to be "battle-ready," and this sexless pursuit of physical perfection, the body rendered solely or p...

September 06, 2021 07:00 - 1 hour - 64.7 MBWe discuss the cruel timing of the Biden administration and the Democratic controlled Congress ripping away vital unemployment assistance and pandemic related programs from 7.5 million people on Labor Day, a day that was once a celebration of labor unionization and now has become another meaningless day to shop till ya drop or get blind drunk like usual. We give a very compact overview of all things labor union related throughout US history, from positive steps forwards to literal massacres ...

Communing from the other side of the globe, Danny, Joe and Matt from Boomer Death Squad join us in viewing the worst movie in our podcast canon, An American Carol, a uniquely inept and horrendous film in every way, and that's not even factoring in its abhorrent political ideology.

We take a crack at what exactly it is that keeps certain political comedy from being funny and ideologically coherent at the same time, and what renders certain comedy toothless and painfully unfunny.
