Ok I'll shut the fuck up after this, but also "hilarious" related to the "we'll be greeted as liberators" recurring line, I'm recalling on the wikipedia or whatever for Operation Mongoose or one of the CIA bs operations against Castro, one of the internal CIA dudes was like "yeah everyone loves Castro actually". Fucking lol...

James Angleton was also in the military lol

I literally had 9 interviews for an entry level professional job and didn't get it

White Squall, The Matrix, Alice in Wonderland, The Godfather 3, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, The Hunt for Red October... We explore how QAnon's obsession with movies can be explained by philosopher Theodor Adorno's theory on the commodification of popular culture and right wing propaganda.

Episode 290: The Beast

Debt ceiling showdown, losers of the Republican primaries, Pete Buttigieg’s Mind Cathedral, yes, yes, but we must focus on what’s really important: The Orcas are now in open revolt, and we need to strategize support for our cetacean brothers and sisters.

734 - I Feel Like White Gladis (5/23/23)

Immigration law should "stop punishing innocent young people brought to the country through no fault of their own by their parents," the Obama White House stated in 2013. "Migrant Caravan Continues North, Defying Mexico and U.S.," The New York Times warned in 2018. "Biden Administration Invites Ordinary Americans to Help Settle Refugees," NPR announced in early 2023.

For over a century, U.S. policy and media have distinguished between supposedly different types of immigrants. There are refugees, who are fleeing political persecution, and migrants, who are crossing a border for reasons that aren’t necessarily so noble. There are deserving immigrants, who are upwardly mobile and law-abiding. And there are undeserving immigrants, who are tax-dodging gang members.

It may be easy to take this hierarchy of displaced people for granted, as it’s become so commonplace in U.S. immigration discourse. But there’s nothing natural or organic about it. These distinctions––between, for example,  "refugee" and "migrant" –– are historically informed by racism, gendered notions of labor and a superficial, ideological distinction between negative and positive rights. The plight of certain immigrants is instrumentalized and prioritized over others, depending on their proximity to contemporary notions of whiteness, their ability to create cheap labor, and their utility to combating the spread of dangerous leftwing ideologies like anarchism and socialism.

This episode – Part 2 of our three-part series on media narratives about immigration (listen to Part I here!) – examines the U.S. government's pattern of arbitrarily categorizing displaced people as some version of "good" or "bad." We'll look at how these distinctions are informed by, and often obfuscate, the U.S.'s global relations and imperialist expansion, and how the policies behind these categories turn people seeking safety and stability into geopolitical pawns.

Our guest is writer, historian and professor, Dr. Rachel Ida Buff.

If you don't want to hear us rant and rave about the Hofenstaufen dynasty, Frederick II, and how Prince Andrew of Hungary was the Hunter Biden of the middle ages, then fast forward to about minute 17. 

This week our old pal Kate Wagner (@mcmansionhell) joins us to discuss the pope, AI-generated content, conspiracy theory-fueled wildfires, the ecstasy we apparently felt at electing Joe Biden, and the latest designs at Neom.

Episode 326: The Failson Crusade (w/ special guest Kate Wagner)

The world can't stop discoursing about it. Hillary Clinton herself has championed it. And our Superdelegate patrons specifically requested it. It time for us to turn our attention to the most discussed movie of the past year. We talk about BARBIE (2023). PLUS: We bid a fond farewell to Ron DeSanctimonious.
