Using AI Instead Of Writing Turns Your Brain Into Cheez Whiz Oct 14, 2026

When The Gates Of Tech Dystopia Snap Shut Oct 13, 2026

Show notes

The trapper is patiently pacing us into accepting mass surveillance, unfettered artificial intelligence advancement, militarized robots, police drones, digital currencies, propaganda, censorship, and the AI-assisted manipulation of the flow of information.

If The Truth Is A Threat To Israel, Then Israel Should Not Exist Oct 12, 2026

Advanced Technology Will Not Save Us Oct 11, 2026

Pentagon To Live Stream Firing Squad Execution - A Poem Oct 09, 2026

Show notes

The Pentagon plans to live-stream the firing squad execution of the Fort Hood shooter, and my head is so very heavy, and everything is covered in the ashes of a burning planet. I found the corpse of a water spirit down by the creek where my parents live. She used to play with me when I was small. She was tangled in plastic and mail-order clothes, and someone had torn off her wings. She would have been older than the country I live in. So hell, why not. Why not live-stream the firing squad execution. Run commercials for Kalshi and Crypto dot com and recruitment ads for the US Marine Corps. Let Joe Rogan host it with Kevin Hart, and then auction off pieces of the body to horny socialites from the Epstein files. Let's just go all-in with this thing. My head is heavy, and the earth spirits are dying, and I feel so fucking old. I get down on the ground and place my hands on the dirt. "Please, tell me what to do," I whisper. "Please tell me what you need." ________________ Reading by Tim Foley.

Show notes

All of a sudden the idea that our bombs are killing people in the middle east was no longer a vague abstraction sitting in the periphery of our awareness. It was a reality hitting us right in the guts in the middle of the day while we casually scrolled our phones, forcing us to run to the toilet to vomit up our lunch. Reading by Tim Foley.

No One Gives A Fuck About October 7 Oct 07, 2026

Show notes

You Are Morally Obligated To Oppose Genocide And Apartheid Regardless Of Your Religion Oct 06, 2026

Show notes

Ever since the UK Green party's "Zionism is racism" motion we've been seeing this narrative circulating that Jews are somehow exempt from the basic human duty to oppose genocide and apartheid, just because support for Israel happens to be common among the Jewish community. Reading by Tim Foley.

Zionism Is OBVIOUSLY A Racist Ideology Oct 05, 2026

Show notes

On Sunday the UK Greens adopted a motion asserting that Zionism is a form of racism, defining the ideology as "an ethnonationalist political project." Reading by Tim Foley.
