Listen to the full episode: www.Patreon.com/KillTheComputer  We take a trip down memory lane and discuss the history of alt-tech microblogging platforms like Parler, Gettr, Gab etc that, while failing, ultimately served to pave the way for Trump's Truth Social and Elon Musk's "X". As usual, along the way we discover some interesting critters. Follow Jordan: https://x.com/JordanUhl

In October 2025, The Onion was set to release the documentary "Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile" in theaters nationwide. However, citing fears of the current political landscape, theaters unceremoniously pulled it. We brought on Ben Collins, CEO of The Onion, to discuss it, and the state of independent media under the Trump Administration.

Caleb's other show, 60 Minute Drill, is back. If you didn't know, he does a show about the politics of the NFL with Arif Hasan and Ed Zitron. This is the first episode of the new season, in which we discuss the ongoing crisis of the NFLPA (player's union), what that means for upcoming contract negotiations, and more.

Patreon.com/KillTheComputer We decided to call an audible and sort of grapple with what's going on in the news and how the right wing will frame the concept of political violence going forward. Note if you listen to this in the future that we recorded this as events were unfolding, so new info may have since come to light.

We're onto another lighter and looser episode before returning to the dark stuff as we talk about how the "MAHA" movement is a symptom of medical and social alienation and how that manifests in sometimes funny, sometimes tragic ways. Follow Mason @OneHandPolitics and watch out for him on another "surrounded" episode soon too.
