TRASHFUTURE

Abigail Thorn (@PhilosophyTube) joins the gang to discuss coming out as a trans woman in Britain, and to explore the psychological, historical, and political roots of transphobia. But first, a startup that is nearly whimsical in its stupidity!

This week, a nearly complete cast of Riley, Milo, Nate, and Alice speak with Jessica Eaton, a fine art photographer working in Montreal. Why is it that the art world is basically a billionaire tax dodge? Why do certain hedge funds seem to have so much weight in fine art purchases, even if the works are never shown? What the hell is going on? Learn more by listening to this episode.

We managed to cobble together the entire cast in order to discuss three important things: first, Silicon Valley has reinvented the bus yet again. Next, Labour is simply falling apart, and their solution is: flag and troops. Finally, Toby Young wants to be a lord. Join all five of us as we do psychic damage to one another engaging with this.

Good lord, the Gen Xers of Britain are a special bunch. And man, do they love to reminisce in the YouTube comments. To discuss this phenomenon, and the culture surrounding it, we brought on TF techno expert Riley--as well as George, the creator of the @UKRaveComments twitter account--to discuss.

Britain continues to come crashing into contact with reality as the price of everything is going up, food rots in containers on both sides of the channel, and our entire political media ecosystem is wrapped in a spectacle of multilayered morality dramas about if the right people are feeling suitably guilty. What can we say but: "ahh, the British Isles." We did an episode about the Gamestop short squeeze, and it features @Quantian1 and @neoliberal_dad, two finance geniuses with a lot to say on the topic.

We've brought on friend of the show and multiple returning champion Séamus Malekafzali to discuss Saudi Arabia's deranged new city -- Neom -- and the specific detail that they're going to make a perfectly linear city called The Line. Do you know what its name is in Arabic? It's ذا لاين. Which is literally tha laaeen. Normal country, normal project!

Our friend Patrick Wyman is back! And this week, after a brief jaunt down start up lane, we discuss the rapid radicalisation of the Anglo-American upper-middle class liberal, as they all seem to have gotten too much news recently. We've talked for ages in the past about your aggro conservative uncle, now it's time for the history, sociology, and economy of your aggro centrist uncle! Patrick's excellent substack, Perspectives: Past, Present, and Future can be found at Patrickwyman.substack.com, and you can check him out weekly in Discontents (https://discontents.substack.com/) alongside many names you may recognise.

What the hell is going on with equity markets? Why is Tesla worth so much despite doing so little? Why has the line divorced itself from reality, and how long has this trend been happening? To answer this question, we brought on Joe Weisenthal (@TheStalwart) of the Odd Lots podcast at Bloomberg to discuss.

As a follow-up to our coverage of the recent events in Washington, we decided to speak with Annie Kelly of the QAnonAnonymous podcast (@AnnieKNK). What is the Q overlap with these protesters?
