In this episode, we chopped it up talking about Gabe’s folks visiting town, the Lower East Side and Alphabet City, and Zohran's campaign. We touch on the legacy of war hero, gangster for Capitalism, and later-pacifist Smedley Butler. We talk about the new documentary on Gustavo Petro's election in Colombia, “Petro”. We also delve into the implications of automation and AI in warfare, drawing parallels to dystopian narratives in cinema, particularly in the context of modern society's challenges.
