Heat Death of the Universe

Heat Death of the Universe is a tragicomic End-Times-inspired podcast about a wide range of subjects falling under the enormous Janus-faced purview of cultural and political commentary.

  1. The forces by and for ICE amp up the desperation and the greed, even on the holiest slices of the calendar year. Well-wishes and declarations of war both personally given by the Chief Executive of the USA to celebrate the birth of one Lord & Savior. Havana Syndrome's triumphant return to terrorize the homeless. Bari Owari continues to fuck up her chances to be in charge of a major propaganda organ for the current admin. What's in an alleged postcard suicide note anyway? How on earth is it just that easy to un-redact a document? William Jefferson Clinton seemingly declares kamikaze jihad upon his fellow travelers. How many of all the weird inclusions are purposely or accidentally placed within the files and to what end? 

    Recorded on Friday, December 26th, 2025 around 8:30 PM US Central Time.

  2. AmericaFest2025: Great name or the greatest name? Red Scare Scrounge Up. Arc de Trump takes precedence over people being able to eat and live. There's a new phone for sale that doesn't exist. American Camelot now sullied. How do RFK Jr.s get made? A brief adding of to the Susie Wiles oversaturation. The Trump-Adelson chimera celebrates Hanukkah by gloating about every crime against humanity they've carried out via the Zionist Entity. Gird your loins in preparation to hear the single craziest thing Steve Bannon has ever said, including every utterance in all those Epstein emails. Speaking of Epstein: more of it. Mass shootings, statisticized. What is really driving loyalists to abandon their once beloved cult? ICE abolition called for. Trump doesn't know why US troops are in Syria but it has something to do with cleaning that whole region out, a thorough ethnic scrubbing. The serial killing of people on boats in the name of stamping out the fentanyl crisis continues. Remember when Trump's White House doctor was giving out fentanyl to anyone and everyone for any reason? He doesn't either, I guess. And other things happened thisdescriptioniswaytoolong.

  3. Begin with a call to prayer, naturally. What's in a meme? McDonald's tries to appeal to the perverse Dutch/Danish psyche with a virulent advert for the holidays and we are compelled to rhetorically ask: can aesthetic outrage actually move markets or will the artificial slop flood continue regardless? Internet censorship: bad idea for numerous reasons or VPN who care? What will you tell your non-existent offspring about your time in the great typeface wars of 2025? The US President of Peace continues peacefully waging war upon the never-before-fucked-with-by-imperial-meddling regions of Central and South America. The War Ender From Peaceville says some nonsensical hilarious shit at a "just for fun" rally while the nation's continually ravaged by newer and more comically transparentally evil and dystopian forms of financial predation, i.e. Gamblor. We need Trumpian Tariffs and we need Kamala Harris, the grand dialectical synthesis starts there. Heh heh, Tupac.

  4. Finally, someone has a real plan to end the vaguely defined problems in the middle east, and that hero's initials are PBD. Various developments in the wholesale murder spree the US government is carrying out in the Carribean. Trump receives FIFA's highest award. Tucker Carlson has an unusual fixation this week, also may be consuming mind-shattering amounts of nicotine. Nap, racist tirade, nap: They're calling it the greatest regimen ever, says recent Peace Prize winner. What is Tim Dillon exactly anyway? Trump as "John Doe Se7en" may accidentally universalize healthcare? The Kalshi/CNN partnership seems like the dawn of a beautiful new era of financial speculation controlling every facet of life on Earth. Bryan "Don't Die" Johnson trips balls with his internet friends. Antisemites of the Year have been chosen for very not insane, totally respectable reasons. Trump's Fun With Numbers.

  5. We talk about some stuff and apologize for it all along the way. Remembering v. 'membering. Dictionaries force their words to compete for dominance. Suicide and litigation collide in dispiriting fashion. Device hoarding and planned obsolescence add new rungs to old ladders that turn out to've been cages all along. Korean ferry crashes, loneliness. A well-known LLM settles the mystery of Elliott Smith's death once and for all. The penetrating gaze of antizionism and the epic meme reactions to it. Amy Schumer and the SlapChop guy bottomfeed in unison, while Andrew Tate somehow bottomfeeds (from the top) even harder. Bolsonaro got curious about his ankle monitor. USA wants its death machines kindly returned from their intended victims and without any guff, thankyouverymuch. Giving thanks. Valhalla Patel. UK lectures USA about appreciating a good scandal and breaks news about the US healthcare being a titch suboptimal at the moment.
