Well, I am dancing with death tonight
Baby, the river is crestin' high
Maybe it'll float me up to the sky
Just maybe
And I don't recall what I was sold
But these dirty floodwaters are getting cold
And the bills I owe have clogged the overflow
Well, it's just great
And these hundred-year rains come so hard down
They got Noah with the loners tryin' to up and leave town
Just how do you scream when you're about to drown?
Lungs ain't empty

Floodwaters
Have gone way above my head
And somehow I'm not dead
Was I born to breathe 'em in?
This rain
Will wash me out of my bed
Turn my clothes into lead
I'll still be swimming

Sinking and I'm thinking
Float down to the floor
Making hearts of air bubbles
'Til I can't no more
Something's breachin, there's been seepage
Right through my core
Raindrops racing
I was go with the flow
Now show me the storm
I'm out of breath, out my depth
My soul soaked and worn
I've been dying, I've been grindin'
For a kind of honest Lord
The floodwaters got the hospital where I was born

Every time it's, "you see
There's just someway to breathe"
I bet my angry, toilin', boilin' blood
Could dry up the sea
Workin' tricks, Lord I miss
When my time felt so free
This rushing river here was once my childhood stream

And floodwaters
Have gone way above my head
And somehow I'm not dead
Was I born to breathe 'em in?
This rain
Will wash me out of my bed
Turn my clothes into lead
We'll all be swimming

And floodwaters
Have gone way above my head
And somehow I'm not dead
Was I born to breathe 'em in?
This rain
Will wash me out of my bed
Turn my clothes into lead
We'll all be swimming

We're all just swimming

Light Up Reindeer

This week we talk the recently released Epstein emails and interview journalist Thomas Birmingham about his piece in The Nation "The Eviction Kings" (linked below).

https://www.thenation.com/article/society/american-landmark-evictions-israel-electra/

Episode 418: The Eviction Kings (w/ Special Guest: Thomas Birmingham)

This episode isn’t just great—it’ll revolutionize what you think of AI. Ed Zitron is back in the trap to discuss his recent reporting on just how much money companies like OpenAI have (and how much they’re burning). We talk about the byzantine financing of generative AI and LLMs, the tech world’s dream of recreating the postwar boom with a technology primarily used to make the world’s least legal porn, and the proliferation of data centers across the country. Plus: Bill Ackman teaches you how to pick up girls.

Andrew Hudson of E1 returns to talk about a grab bag of recent news: Marie Glusenkamp Perez’s war on pinnipeds, Alex Karp’s tweaked-out media hits, and another vaccine on the RFK’s chopping block. We then turn to Milo Yiannopoulos, who just recently made the equally outrageous claims that Charlie Kirk is still alive and Benny Johnson is actually gay.
