TRASHFUTURE

We've unlocked this bonus episode! We've had a perfect storm of illness among the entire cast and it became impossible to record this week, but we'll be back later in the week with a new bonus, and will have a new free episode next week.

Riley, Nova, and Hussein chug some down some heavy metals, talk about rare earths, ChatGPT’s OTHER other detour into porn (before curing cancer), and the slow death of neoliberalism. Then, Wired does some crucial journalism: talking to Cybertruck owners who all need to find polite ways of saying they have a “getting yelled at” fetish.

Cory’s back and in studio! We talk about the financial and legal shenanigans plaguing Elon Musk’s latest wheeze, reconfirm data centres in space are utterly moronic (part of said wheeze), and check in on the latest round of mawkish sentimentality being used to extend the surveillance state. Also we learn about a dot com bubble era startup called Cab Candy, which does exactly what you think it does.

We discuss the new Epstein revelations that show that jeevacation also had a day job as a kind of nefarious Forrest Gump, facilitating or gleefully observing a huge number of the events that made our world feel so irredeemable, connecting a world of post-Soviet and American oligarchs with European aristocrats, western financiers, and basically every intelligence agency. In the second half, we talk to sociologist Paolo Gerbaudo about Ellison and friends’ acquisition of TikTok USDS and what that means for politics and social media going forward.

We’re joined by Blood Work’s Greg Foley to discuss the ongoing wave of state violence in the United States, and think about what makes this time different and altogether more worrying. Also, we look at the Labour Party shooting itself in the head rather than ceding any control to non-Morgan McSweeneys… but before any of that we look at what’s happening in a country that dealt with its fascism problem properly.

Dan Boeckner joins for more CanCon as Mark Carney continues his journey from central banker to Maoist Third Worldist “death to amerikkka” insurgent leader in charge of the Hoser Mujahedeen. Also, we don’t want to be all IR all the time in the IR world we live in now, so we return to the orbs and the ongoing evidence that AI is useless and everybody except CEOs hates it.
