TRASHFUTURE

It's the free one! Riley speaks with DSA members Grace and Alvaro about the long years and efforts the organisation put in to secure Zohran Mamdani the democratic nomination for NY mayor… apparently it’s more than just TikToks! But first, we revisit an old, old friend and look at a shiny new piece of hardware. Check out the Mamdani campaign site here! The national site for the Democratic Socialists of America is here! And the site for NYC DSA is here!

Move over Deloitte Pride Float - there’s a new brand of liberalism in town! Ahmed al-Sharaa, erstwhile leader of HTS, now promoting Syria as a global investment destination, sits down with his old sporting rival David Petraeus. What’s six years of imprisonment between friends? Also, we talk about the recognition of Palestine and who “gets” to be a state, the circular financing driving useless AI valuations to new highs, and Starmer’s “fightback” against Farage.

Brian Merchant, of Blood in the Machine, joins us to talk about his new series, AI Took My Job. It includes stories from not just artists and translators, but tech workers, healthcare workers, and even suicide counsellors. But before that, we decide that in the bleakness of the day we could all use a moment of TF season one whimsy, and talk about a fridge with ads on it. Remember that?

The world’s most regular man takes the stand in his own defence and proceeds to… utterly waste the court’s time arguing about pronouns. Also, we talk about the ongoing collapse of civil liberties on both sides of the Atlantic, and consider what it means when the leaders of both major parties in the UK simply seem to not want their jobs very much.

A wasting disease has struck TF! The survivors, Riley and Hussein, are joined by Mattie Lubchansky who is bravely subbing in for the fallen, to discuss Trump’s state visit to the UK, the ongoing right wing cancellation march that’s spreading around the world, and then a whimsical new AI device whose main feature is that it hates you. Then, Riley talks to the Public Interest Law Centre’s Paul Heron, who is currently pursuing two Palestinian solidarity cases through the UK legal system, about how to use the law for good.

In a wild turn of events, the hosts critique a controversial figure's exploitation of tragedies for personal gain. They dive into unexpected political chaos, examining the rise of far-right media and infighting among its factions. The conversation turns to the legacy of a pivotal figure and the motivations behind political violence. They also discuss the troubling dynamics of social collapse in the US, Canada, and Britain, shedding light on how media shapes perceptions of societal decay and cultural conflict.

Jake and Jacob from Screen Rot join us to talk about the two men who post videos of themselves saying “bosh,” and why everyone in Britain (and elsewhere?) seems keen to project their politics onto these men.
