Tennessee makes being unhoused a felony. In California, mobile homelessness is on the rise, but don't worry, there are some safe parking lots to sleep in. Another Californian development: The Ebony Alert system is finally here! Space Force continues to be uncanny and just off-beat enough subsection of the US Armed Forces.

An olde tyme friend visits us. We have a chatabout. We each section one another for crimes against comedy/humanity. We vent spleens about Israel etc. We digress, digressively. Who will be possibly the next Pointless/Demagogical Mayoral-King-Duke of the USofA? We talk some news of the weird. Australia gets America's wang transplanted upon it.

Kevin McCallister's been demoted to scamming the nation and fistfucking the globe from a less visible post. Political theater prevails as the dominant mindvirus. Commander Biden's list of crimes expands further. A Danish artist hilariously cons the High Art/Tax Evasion/Money Laundering World. Chicago TV news crew robbed in a very meta-fied way. The depraved aeronautical sciences strike another beautiful soul down once again. Trump's fraud trial serves up more fodder for hidden messages to be dis...

South Koreans have a bizarre way of keeping track of people's ages, and it's going out of style. Sean Penn is a vile idiot who should've saved us all on 9/11. Some run of the mill tech-bro got a wild hair up his ass and is emotionlessly, delusionally, grandiosly and obsessively chasing after immortality via some hybrid of internalized Mormonism and The Singularity style futurism guru insanity. Cancer cases have skyrocketed in the last 30 years. AI-equipped robots are CEOs now. "Last-Chance Touri...

We briefly revisit the Metaverse and its grand announcement that they've finally added (sort of) the god-kissed locomotive powers of legs to the little Metaverse representation pixel-creatures. We digress about the man-o-sphere for a bit. Airplanes and their great lack of crashing into one another: humdrum miracle or vile affront to the Almighty? Space Force is weird and its patches and insignia are even weirder ( click here to follow along visually as we discuss them ). Republicans are scrambli...

There's been a shift in the 'cast's, um, cast. Past guest Timothy Robert Buechner joins as an official cohost. We talk through and detour from topics such as microplastics in our brains; the nature of well-crafted clickbait via murder-by-dessert and mailing cadaver bits 'n' pieces through a FB/Meta group; other podcasts; a Nebraskan governor whose officially signed a bill into law declaring Dudes to Rock; how the anti-trans movement has and will continue to accidentally destroy itself; bad journ...

We take a brisk tour through various current AI implications. A "free" 55-inch flat screen TV that merely wants to turn your living room into a advert-hellscape. A possibly inebriated driver switches seats with his dog, the officer in question may never notice the oddness of this. In Portugal, canine lifespan records, shattered. Some annoying person ate a piece of art made by another possibly even more annoying person. 500 pounds of pasta mysteriously left alongside a stream in New Jersey. Anoth...

Another overstuffed episode (with leftovers for next time). French labor unions cut off electricity and gas to targeted homes of politicians and billionaires. A string of articles showing more hubris and self-cannibalization in the nervous system of USofA. "Nothing will fundamentally change, jack, unless it's for the worse!" AMLO dramatically increases Mexico's minimum wage and human-shaped triple-bleached dough with hair and teeth, David Frum, tells us why he's a no good autocrat. Updates on th...

Competitive grave digging in "vampiric" Eastern Europe. The world's tallest jail—who dare says the US can't still aspire to greatness? In China, fifty year old "Uncle Chen" can beat the average marathon time—while chain-smoking the whole way.

Timothy Robert Buechner returns as dual guest & substitute cohost for Jason. We talk about the fledging effort to make neoliberalism cool (again?); the nature of all 'centrisms'; Volcels are Basically Cows; how the most labor friendly president in US history has recently shown his friendliness to railway union members; how the NYTimes has suddenly, cynically, meaninglessly, developed an interest in human rights vis-à-vis Julian Assange; and finally, where are the best places to survive nucle...
