TRASHFUTURE

We talk about a pair of startups that aim to replace the entirety of human interiority using a pair of glasses and a smartphone. Also, we discuss the Labour frontbench’s ever escalating flag habit, and the concerns for what this means at a time of rising threat towards refugees.

Trump’s touching the money! Nathan Tankus, the Fed whisperer, returns to talk about the political economy of dying empire, specifically as it relates to some of its more important (if somewhat… evil…) institutions.

Mattie from No Gods No Mayors subs in for Nova, and we talk about what it’s like when politicians lead from the left versus right… and we discuss Eric Adams, the bag of chips, and the city’s partnership with the Citizen App. Finally, we look at the updated prospects for Trojena to host the 2029 Asian winter games and come up with some creative engineering solutions.

Auto journalist Victoria Scott joins us to discuss a question that’s been on Riley’s mind for a while… why is the American auto industry “like that”?

Luke Savage drops by to talk to Riley and Nova about the KKKanadian Government’s efforts to stymie industrial action by Air KKKanada flight attendants, and how it’s emblematic of his broader lurch to the right, which we also discuss.

Riley's away this week, so Nova is in charge of the bonus and welcomes Kill James Bond's very own Devon to the show to discuss - among other things - continued rulings from the EHRC making it more difficult to be trans in the United Kingdom... and then the phenomenon of people getting into relationships with ChatGPT.

It’s all true - the nans were planning up to forty Nine-Elevens. We talk about the wave of (largely) pensioner arrests this weekend and what it means for civil liberties, the homelessness minister doing a landlord whoopsie, and then we read an article about what it’s like to be gentrified out of your neighbourhood as a 0.1%er.

Due to illness and absence we have convened an unusual cast configuration of Riley, Hussein, and Nate, in which we discuss recent allegations that the Reform UK party is "woke" because they're not transphobic enough somehow. We also discuss a Bloomberg article about the right-wing sealed biosphere that produced one of the DOGE tweens. Sorry this is late: we've gone woke! Also November was sick and a lot of stuff has been up in the air. We love you all. Get the whole episode on Patreon here!

The discussion humorously critiques the UK's Online Safety Act and age verification absurdities, spotlighting privacy concerns. The hosts dive into the Epstein revelations, dissecting the integrity of political figures and the complex power dynamics at play. They explore Bedford's economic struggles, challenge media narratives, and share a transformative story of battling addiction through podcasting. The conversation also touches on Dogecoin's political implications and offers sharp commentary on community decline and superficial solutions to social issues.

You remember what FDR said: a car in every garage, a chicken in every pot, and approximately forty drones equipped with less lethal armaments in every school. We go deep on Mithril Defence, a company intending, finally, to deliver on the third part of this promise. Also, Josh week continues, as Josh from the Worst of All Possible Worlds joins us in Nate's place. Full episode available on Patreon! (https://www.patreon.com/posts/135555982?pr=true)
