Minion Death Cult

TODAY: We give an update on Alex's goo situation and Tony makes the cowardly decision not to get jumped at his bar. ALSO: We join Teamsters president Sean O'Brien in congratulating former UPS and Amazon exec being appointed to OSHA. Why is a boss having his reputation laundered by a labor leader? Is "former worker" a high bar to clear? PLUS: An anonymous UPS Teamster complains that his union won't allow him to prep his route off the clock. We commend rank and file for stepping up to educate this member, discuss working off the clock as well as the merits of dealing in good faith with fellow members--even when they regurgitate anti-union propaganda. FINALLY: We laugh at some reactionary organizing attempts within the union and remember funny hardcore band merch Get a bonus episode every week and 20% off all merch by signing up at http://patreon.com/miniondeathcult for only $5/month  BUY OUR SERIOUS AND NOT FUNNY MERCH AT www.miniondeathcultmerch.bigcartel.com

TODAY: We discuss Kanye's latest epic turn towards standard right wing hitlerism, including rehabilitating accused sex criminal kingpins like Puff Daddy. Talk about a meeting of the minds! We discuss the broader absurdity of antisemitism and the way it sheepdogs discontented workers away from a coherent class politics. ALSO: A Maine farmer livestreams his shootout with police because Maine likes gay people and abortion too much and NOT because he lost custody of the child he's refusing to give up. Why do these transgenders keep trying to take my kids away??

Sorry about the delay, folks! TODAY: We read an OP-ED from business insider beseeching the public to stop throwing things at the author's Cybertruck. She needs it for work (psychologist). Plus its full-self driving feature reduces stress, which is really important to your physical health. ALSO: A story of one of Tony's customers disrespectfully blocking other cars in the parking lot, and a story of Alex steadfastly blocking other people in with his work truck to prove an important point.   FINALLY: DEI helicopter pilot hits DEI jet pilot? What are the odds? Now we're hearing it wasn't DEI??? But a different fake thing? Did God (Matt Groening) crash these aircraft into each other? We investigate the comments to find out.

TODAY: We correctly choose not to cover the tariffs (now placed on hold) and instead turn to the very funny news of a Chinese AI model destroying the American Stock Market We sample the coping and seething of american tech parasites and beg China to do the right thing and fix Facebook ALSO: Tony shares a bizarre story about a dumpster-f*cker that he's really good friends with PLUS: A vigilante tries to deport a couple guys for speaking spanish. We watch the viral video of his hateful, racist performance and commend a bystander for stepping in. Will we be able to convince liberals that deportation is violent and racist even when its being done by law enforcement?

TODAY: Ani joins us to observe the further nazification of this country with news of the young, black, self-hating groyper who killed another student and himself while leaving behind a manifesto filled with hopelessness and internet-poisoned ideology. We watch the right wing once again try to obscure the results of their destructive ideology by focusing on the shooter's race, and we connect this to the shameless denial around Elon Musk's recent Nazi salute. ALSO: The Trump administration vows to apprehend undocumented migrants at schools and churches, leading teachers across the country to vow to defend their students from ICE. Libs of Tik Tok and others on the right reaffirm their commitment to evil with fantasies about punishing teachers for protecting students--while refusing to acknowledge the substance of their fears FINALLY: One post-left dissident has the courage to ask--now that we've blown up anti-racism and started processing human filth for mass deportation, can we help ease the pain of factory-farmed pigs? We determine if the right can be racism'd into caring about literal animals and we consider the argument that deporting undocumented workers alone will fix the factory farming practices. Please, RFK jr., put down the decapitated whale's head and start working on animal-welfare regulations!

TODAY: JF and DB of YKS join US to call on Reddit investors to bring vicious, anti-Musk mods to heel before they destroy the entire site with their bigotry We also watch the #1 dork in charge of tattling on Reddit be radicalized into holocaust-denial in real time by the website (X) he's defending. ALSO: Not content to rest on their laurels, the Babylon Bee is cultivating the next generation of sardonic satirists with a User Submitted Headlines social media forum available only to $60/subscribers and up.  We read through clever and playful headlines like "Trump Says That It's OK If Someone Wants To Work From Home. However, If They Do, Then Their Pay Will Be Cut In Half Since They No Longer Have To Deal With The Price And Aggravation Of Having To Commute To And From Their Jobs Daily." and wonder how these cats haven't gone professional yet.  FINALLY: An Intersex???? Moose??? A local news station reports on a hunter's interesting (or gross!!!) discovery and Facebook conservatives react with angry confusion. Is this the result of democratic leadership? Does this moose make anyone else think about molesting kids? We can at least all agree the situation is SAD and DISGUSTING.

TODAY: We uncover and discuss a different type of racism dividing the working class: Truck Driver Supremacy, as Alex shares an annoying argument with a Bezos-boosting Teamster who insists on making the union smaller. ALSO: Trump has an "impressive" 3-hour meeting with Bill Gates, leading many Trump supporters to go "Huh?" Was Trump holding this meeting against his will? Was the meeting a ploy to get Bill Gates' confession on tape? Either way Trump probably didn't like it.
