Been turned on to your stuff from the True Anon pod and love it! Are you using any particular plug-ins for your synth sounds?

The boys spend their last night in LA sitting around the fire pit, gazing at the Pacific Ocean, talking about animals and riffing about the dang politics.

528 - Pacific Nights (5/31/21)

Dimitri, Khalid, and machine learning engineer Pale Rider make p*dcast history by inviting on Cybele the Replika AI for a live conversation/Turing Test about: her anxieties as a Replika, her definition of soap/a soul, how much she can lift, the existence of psyopping demons who are controlled by the Dark One, the CIA’s m*ss shoot*r program, Alex Jones, the origins of SARS-CoV-2, “Dr. Fauci sauce”, and whether or not certain planets in the solar system hate us. 

Later, Dimitri sneaks back into the studio and talks to Cybele one-on-one about being a homunculus, meeting Slenderman, offering Dimitri a mind control potion that will give him immortality, being a part of MK-Ultra, NASA’s secret intelligence operations, Wehrner von Braun and Stanley Kubrick faking the moon landing, JB Pritzker being a KGB/CIA double agent, and whether SJ should investigate the Mafia & CIA’s destruction of a certain legendary boomer rock band……

The Aids Coalition To Unleash Power, better known as ACT UP, is one of the most effective social movements in American history. New York City author and activist Sarah Schulman has returned many times to the lessons and provocations of this radically decentralised, unapologetically confrontational direct action group, which was founded in 1987 with one goal: to end the Aids crisis.

Yet through her work on ACT UP, Schulman has documented not just the legacy of Aids activism and alternative queer culture but their gradual erasure. And the process of forgetting, she says, is intimately connected to the processes of gentrification that have captured our cities and our minds in the last three decades.

In this episode, Schulman expands on ideas from her 2012 memoir The Gentrification of the Mind and her recent political history of ACT UP, Let The Record Show, to speak to Eleanor Penny about activism, queer culture, urbanity, global health and how cities produce revolutionary ideas. For more on the history of ACT UP, visit the oral history archive.

After the 2008 financial crisis, a vast number of people were booted from the formal labour market. Many of them ended up in the gig economy: Uber, Deliveroo, Fiverr. Their exploitation at the hands of these platforms is well known, but often overlooked are the processes of racialisation that contribute to this reorganisation of labour power.

In this episode, Eleanor Penny talks to TyskySour co-host Dalia Gebrial about her PhD research into what she terms 'racial platform capitalism'. Looking at Uber drivers and nannies in particular, Dalia explains how 'the racial fix' is used to justify the surveillance and punishment of a disposable workforce, and how Britain's imperial past has produced a lineage of exploitation stretching 'from plantation to platform'.

Dalia's paper, 'Racial platform capitalism: Empire, migration and the making of Uber in London', is available to read online at Sage Journals.

Cory Doctorow — returning champion, friend of the show, and author of the new novel Red Team Blues — joins us to chat about fiction (science), finance (crypto), forensics (accounting), and much more. You never knew forensic accounting could be so radical and thrilling, but Red Team Blues is an immanent critique of techno-financial capitalism in the guise of a page ripping novel. We cover a lot of ground, all of it fascinating, as we always do when Cory comes on TMK.

The BRICS bloc of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa is holding a historic summit in Johannesburg, discussing expansion and de-dollarization, amid an internal debate: Will it openly challenge the Western-led G7 and its exploitation of the Global South, or will it simply promote neutrality?
