yea I enjoyed Clarice it was pretty good.

The 'fair' games are still destructive and dehumanising so that less than 1% succeeds, who is then traumatised. To see this as good would be bizarre.

Hour and a half of Zizek doing the work of the state dept. Skip it, folks

claims china handling of the pandemic "doesn't work" then praises india

One of the few podcast guests you can smell through your speakers

I am entirely certain the boys attracted Zizek by just leaving a lot of spoiled food outside their house over night. Next thing they knew, Slavoj was just sitting in their trash absolutely enjoying himself. He is the Diogenes of our time.

The space of communication doesn't work in and of itself. It doesn't do anything. So if it's reduced or destroyed, who cares? Free communication is disorganized, a giant game of telephone.

We start today looking at Democrats’ feckless failure to extend the eviction moratorium. That being a fairly dismal topic, we try to lighten things up with two reading series checking in with how some old friends of the show are handling their new post-election lives in DC.

546 - MyPillow Guy, MyPillow Guy and Me (8/2/21)

We take a first look at Lyndon LaRouche’s early life—the beginning of his road to happy destiny—and the origins of his strange connections and beliefs.

Episode 176: Lyndon LaRouche: The Assassin's Creed

Once more into the breach of Afghanistan takes: the media now turns to our precious abandoned military ordnance to hand-wring over, and Britain continues to feel the cold shoulder of the Biden administration. We also cover China’s new gaming ban, and an effort to gin up a BDS movement against the Taliban.

554 - Junkyard of Empires (8/31/21)

We celebrate 20 years of 9/11 by taking a 2-part look at the political and cultural insanity of the era immediately following the attacks. Today, we look at the hysterical jingoism, veneration of idiotic leaders, politically enforced censorship, and the seminal war-blogger classic “The Pussification of the Western Male”

We’ll continue on Thursday’s ep with looks at TV, Film and Culture from the era, plus another canonical 9/11 reading series. Stay tuned!

558 - 9/11 Era, Pt. 1: The Pussification of the Western Male (9/14/21)

We’re back to a normal-style ep after a week of interviews. We’re taking a look at the fast-tracked aid package to intelligence agents suffering unreality issues, the Biden administration addressing just the optics at the border, and AOC addressing just the optics of the Iron Dome bill. Finally, we having a reading series that functions as a bit of a coda to Will and Matt’s visit to Ozy Fest way back in 2018.

578 - Assassination Day feat. Oliver Stone & Aaron Good (11/22/21)

Felix explains Twitter Spaces and his theory of the Swag Samsara. Then Will leads us through two pieces covering the Epstein case, one detailing the jury selection of Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial and one attempting to re-examine Jeffrey Epstein’s death and declare it definitively a suicide. Both are...interesting, in what they chose to say about their subjects and how.\
