Who Fired and Rehired Roger Rabbit feat. Rusteen Honardoost and Nora Meek
We spoke with Nora and Rusteen from IATSE, who are on strike against the degradation of their careers by generative AI. But first, we speak about the purchase of Twitter (bad investment) and right-wing police abolition in the UK, in the form of a new company marketing how good they are at impersonating police officers.

*PREVIEW* Prosecutors' Clearinghouse: TF Live at the Edinburgh Fringe, 14/8/24
For this week's bonus, we've got the recorded version of last week's live show in Edinburgh, featuring a devotional to hooning, a visit from the AI-powered VTOL that kills you, and an encounter with a strange American former child star who wanted to name his libertarian business park in Puerto Rico, and we are not joking, 'Puertopia.' Until someone who'd studied Latin intervened. It's Riley, Milo, Hussein, and November live very very late at night at Monkey Barrel, recorded 14th August 2024.

Agent Pronouns Vs. the Shadowbanned Squad feat. Devon
For this week’s free one, Riley, Hussein, and November join Devon from Kill James Bond to discuss: Elon Musk’s gambit to put targets on the heads of specific judges in South America, plus a recent Britain-has-fallen travelogue by a decades-long conservative twink death sufferer from America. And, wouldn’t you know it, everything in England is woke and gay and also Muslim somehow.

Let 10,000 Heads Bloom feat. Brian Merchant
Brian Merchant (@bcmerchant) returns to discuss Elon Musk’s frantic UK civil war wishposting, and the role of his particular personality in encouraging right wing insurrection around the globe. Then, we move on to discuss Brian’s piece for Wired about what AI is already doing to the games industry—deskilling and displacing artists, and driving down quality. We end by asking: why on earth are we doomed to automate the arts?

*PREVIEW* Shouting Slurs in Summer's Cauldron
For this week's bonus, it's Riley, Hussein, Nate, and November discussing the recent events in the UK and why just about every MP and journalist seems to be falling all over themselves to explain how some of the far-right attacks come from a place of 'legitimate concerns.' Okay? What are they, then?

Shelfology in the Time of Monsters: Season Six Begins
Note: this episode was recorded on August 1, prior to far-right attacks that took place across the UK at the weekend.
Science has done it all: it’s created Woke Algeria to oppress the Italians, it’s created a Labour party that can only concede to the right no matter what the issue, and it’s created the purest expression of Hussein dropping in with a joke that obliterates the entire cast with absolutely no warning. This is both a grim and fun episode given the current state of British politics, and we are both inspired by scenes of solidarity and horrified by the general state of things.

*PREVIEW* Nick Land Acknowledgement feat. Ed Zitron
For this week’s bonus, we’re joined by friend of the show and astute tech commentator Ed Zitron to discuss the recent CrowdStrike update debacle, the resulting infinity blue screens, the fact that this doesn’t seem to have an impact on Wall Street’s assessments of these kinds of companies, and the Marc Andreessen / Nick Land handshake on the topic of banning…corporate risk management? For being ‘woke?’

The Sulla of Suburbia feat. Patrick Wyman
Patrick Wyman, a historian and political analyst, returns to delve into the dangerous allure of 'American Caesarism,' drawing striking parallels with the late Roman Republic. They discuss how nostalgia for strong leadership reflects contemporary political sentiments and fears. The conversation also navigates the fracturing nature of modern right-wing politics, touching on the influence of Silicon Valley figures and the creeping corporatism in political discourse. Wyman's insights shed light on the enduring dynamics of power and authority in today's society.
