Christian walks us through discovering for himself just how pimped out his digital fingerprint (and most likely all of ours) is. We read about an extremely "fun" news story that maybe involves leaky brain goo.

We go over an extremely weird and extremely sus article detailing your average CEO's wet dream for now much they can gig-ify your job and your life. But don't worry, AI will also be involved. This crap pissed us off too much and we ended up taking it in a few different directions, so we got another 2-parter for yous. Part 2 for Patreon members only.

Kooky Christians yelling at clouds, musing on good ol' fashioned American anti-intellectualism, and "OPERATION EXCALIBUR". Which is apparently a real thing our DHS and military did and not just some stupid joke we made. We take our sweet time this week, so the tail end of us covering the article is picked up in this week's Patreon episode.

Just a heads up, we actually get to this week's article in Pt.2. We took some time discussing the DC33 union strike in Philadelphia. We also chatted about the George A. Romero "Dead" movies, how NJ is beautiful... and then pre-gamed the article we had planned. Part 2 is a banger so don't miss it. Join the Patreon.

Ever consider the fact that burnout is a you problem? Working a job is awesome! Sorry you are just such a weak little worm that even something as awesome as compulsory wage labor is too much to handle sometimes. Also, as far as compensation goes, pizza definitely goes harder than actual money.

White birch beer good, holiday foods bad. Very scary Anthropic study confirms what we've collectively (like... as a species) known and felt about the dangers of autonomous or semi-autonomous computers and robots since, roughly, the 1920s. Also, unfortunately we get a quick update on our favorite guy, Palmer Luckey.

We discuss our love of the so-called 'global village coffeehouse' aesthetic, it's relation to the corporate design of today, and the nature of nostalgia. We then get extremely pissed off at more scary technopolist news.

Baby brained American tourists want to travel to any country of their choosing and decide how people who live there interact with them. Trump bad but this may be somehow even more embarrassing.

We discuss the writer Rutger Bregman and his baby brained self help ideology. Millions of copies sold of various pop-psy trashola books that apparently cannot understand why in this world people work for big business instead of ending world hunger.

Palmer Luckey is a dweeb that should have been bullied more as a kid, and should be bullied more now. He is also extremely scary and more people should be paying closer attention to him and his AI warfare weaponry company, Anduril.

*Harry's stolen internet was acting up and we lost him and his audio/video feed partway through the episode. There are two or three short awkward silences in the ep but nothing major.
