A repository of vocalized ideas and cynical reflections on the state of the human heart.

Recorded half a day before the US officially struck Iran, we vented, cleansed, and purged about the last week, which was jam-packed with escalations between American's gun in the shape of a genocidal illegal settler colonial state and Iran, including all of the absurd beyond all parody and satire levels of ulcer-forming propaganda and pseudo-debate…

Before two extended looks at 1) the nameless unrest in Los Angeles of late & then 2) the saga of the Freedom Flotilla, we broach the breaking news of Israel dEfeNsiVeLy first-strikkking Iran, and then keep it a little lighter with a casual cold open chat about other Content-style media, The Beach Boys' stranger/deeper catalogue,…

We play a little bit of catch up with an ol' flurry of news items style episode. Drink a pop cultural lust-object's actual bathwater, now in bar soap form. Sensually pop egg yolks on TikTok. Feel the delirous effects of fake time travel to early 2000s culture war issues. Porn, cannabis, chemtrails, oh my! Trump.…

We briefly attempt to subdue and clown upon the so-called “news” before casting its mind-numbing insanity aside and delving into the subjects of doomsday prepping and eschatology via Bradley Garrett's excellent and beautifully-timed/-written culturo-geographic book on the phenomenon of rejecting the allure of the distant stars for the womblike safety of the soil, Bunker: Building…

We look at a truncated overview of humanity's various oppositions to technological development, from Diogenes to The Dark Mountaint Project, after laughing wildly at various insanities from the most recent news-cycle involving John “Shrekton LaVey” Fetterman and some unknown so-called president of the United States of America. Recorded on Saturday, May 10th, 2025 around 10.30…

Before we get into the subject of automated labor (various conceptions of, various modern applications of, etc) we do some old school retreading of The News™: 100 Days of Too Much Fun, Mohsen Mahdawi Puts a Significant Win in Our Plus Column, Actual Living Demon Itamar Ben-Gvir Goes to Washington, and more. Plus, Tim unboxes…

Vivian Wilson—who is shockingly cool and not deranged—recently mentioned that her father, one Eloo Ma, aspires to be like the virtual reality CEO guy in the 2011 book/2018 movie, Ready Player One, which he liked (?) so much that he'd force his children to read it when they misbehaved. So we looked closer at this…

I thought that this had vanished forever due to a mental health crisis, but it has just now been found. Here's the unedited and purely Zoom-recorded track. We talk about a bunch of stuff relevant to the news cycle of March 8th, 2025. Get vunerable with us. Recorded on Saturday, March 8th, 2025 around 11.30…

We behold the miracle of flight and its attendant spawn like airplane crashes, lists of twee explainer facts, corporate fascism, the liminal space of the airport, unrepentant missile strikes on passenger aircraft, and so forth. Before that, we do a little preamble and cover two topical stories in the up-to-the-minute news cycle: Liberation Day +…

We look into the repellent and deeply unfunny world of so-called comedy made on the internet by various genocidal lunatics with a pronounced fixation on a certain holy-style of land. Production note: This episode went through some technical issues and an accidental hiatus as Josh adjusted to new employment (as detailed in the cold open).…
