TRASHFUTURE

Thank you to the fan who commented that we should continue to explore Richard E. Grant's career. As such, we've watched the 1987 film WITHNAIL & I and.... enjoyed it? But it's very hard to escape the notion that 1987 Britain conjuring 1969 Britain looks indistinguishable from 2024 Britain in terms of vibes, aesthetics, degree of shitness, you name it. We hope you enjoy this!

No plot, just riffs, and it's friend of the show Aidan Jones joining Milo and Riley to discuss a number of things. But primarily Australian coffee and the natural wine fad that drives Riley up the wall, mostly because the wine tastes like a horse-barn by design? Or something?

Matt Bors, a political cartoonist, and Ben Clarkson, an animator focusing on right-wing themes, dive into the quirky world of AI and right-wing animation. They dissect the absurdities of UK smoking policies and the graphic health warnings on cigarettes. The duo humorously critiques influencer culture and life in Neom, while exploring the pitfalls of contemporary consumerism. They also highlight the decline of creative quality in media and the economics behind animated propaganda, all while teasing their upcoming projects and new book 'Justice Warriors 2'!

Mattie joins a recently re-Miloed gang to discuss how voters on both sides of the Atlantic only want delivery, and don’t care about scandals - whether it’s all of Eric Adams’ friends getting their phones seized by the FBI, or jillionaires playing dress up with the Labour Front Bench (and the Observer article that blithely describes all the shenanigans the party undertook in the run up to 2019 to play said game of dress up).

Bloomberg’s resident cryptocurrency anthropologist Zeke Faux rejoins the gang to discuss the VERY easy marriage of the Crypto and MAGA worlds, with a special focus on some of the freaks and weirdos who made it happen.   Check out Zeke’s work here! https://zekefaux.com/   If you want access to our Patreon bonus episodes, early releases of free episodes, and powerful Discord server, sign up here: https://www.patreon.com/trashfuture *MILO ALERT* Check out Milo’s UK Tour Here: https://miloedwards.co.uk/live-shows Trashfuture are: Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Hussein (@HKesvani), Nate (@inthesedeserts), and November (@postoctobrist)

Seamus Malekafzali returns to the show to talk to us about a report into the BBC’s reporting by a law firm that alleges the organisation is not sympathetic enough to Israel… but don’t worry about the report being biased, they used ChatGPT! Also, we talk about Elon Musk’s blanketing South Memphis in methane gas, and look at executive misbehaviour at Neom (which, wouldn’t you know it, is a kind of French Foreign Legion for senior businesspeople who are unhireable anywhere else).

For this week’s free one, Riley, Hussein, and November discuss the recent Grenfell enquiry and the way in which it lays the blame across a comprehensive spectrum of British political elites—but also discuss who’s actually going to be held liable for it. And given the track record of recent British courts of enquiry, it seems zero is a safe bet.

For this week's bonus, we speak with friend of the show Gareth Dennis about his ordeal at the hands of British railway consultants who definitely understand the legal system, but also about the ongoing safety concerns at Euston Station, and in the UK more generally. Have you ever taken a train from Euston? Did you also fear for your life? Then perhaps this episode will explain some things. Check out Railnatter on YouTube here! Pre-order Gareth's book here!

404 Media’s Jason Koebler returns to discuss AI in the classroom, Balaji’s private island/supervillain lair, and the growing deluge of AI generated slop by US political campaigns. Not so much in the form of deepfakes or Midjourney memes on social media, but rather by making a larger tidal wave of more personalised spam. Also, we discuss a hot new startup that’s ruffling a lot of feathers on K Street in Washington using artificial intelligence, and (more importantly) artificial names.

Riley, Nova, Milo, and Nate talk about the new civil rights struggle of our time: the plan to ban smoking in pub gardens. Then, a broader discussion of the miserablism of a PM whose approval rating is already at 23% only a couple short months into his government. Finally, we discuss an excellent article on the type of guy who becomes a middle manager in a private security guard company. It’s by Jasper Craven and is linked here: https://harpers.org/archive/2024/09/the-thin-purple-line-jasper-craven-private-security-guard/ Check out Milo's tour dates here: https://www.miloedwards.co.uk/live-shows Get the full episode on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/111098273 Trashfuture are: Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Hussein (@HKesvani), Nate (@inthesedeserts), and November (@postoctobrist)
