Episode description

In this fucked up evening livestream, my host (podbean) somehow managed to delist my stream apparently shortly after it began because their livestream technology was created by people who have never had a single moment's experience writing code apparently.

I covered a bunch of headlines, eventually got the problem sorted and took a call-in from Den of the Unknown. Between Den and chat we had long conversations about authoritarianism, the United States being a shithole and other topics as well.
