The boys bring you up to date on the state of the shitshow: from the Trump coup that never was, to Biden's latest cabinet ghouls and some familiar warnings about the pending eviction crisis, economic depression and the very dark winter of the coronavirus pandemic ahead for the US. Then we examine the short film "Oh Dearism" by British documentary filmmaker Adam Curtis about how the ways the 24 hr news phenomena and reporting the news without political context makes us feel trapped in a cycle of violence we are powerless to stop-- and how participating in mutual aid can be used as a way to escape that feeling.
