This week we discussed the conclusion of the 2024 Summer Olympiad, and Cam struggled to define his political / patriotic ideals. He is not, it turns out, a transhumanist. We then segue into our favorite subject: ELECTORAL POLITICS, and the nomination of Tim Walz as Kamala Harris's Vice Presidential running mate.

This week we conclude our three-part series chronicling the rise and fall of Belgian King Leopold II and his Congo ‘Free’ State. This week, the cracks that began to show last time become impossible for the world to ignore, and the house of cards Leopold built to support his dreams of Empire come crashing down.

Isn't it funny that the villain in Megaman X is named 'Sigma'?

This week we discuss the fallout from President Joe Biden's disastrous debate showing, as well as the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. We also throw in a new segment we're calling 'Doggy Style' featuring up-to-the-minute RFK Jr. news.

This week we were forced against our will to discuss the recent CNN debate between sitting US President Joe Biden and former US President Donald Trump. It was something, huh folks? We also discuss the (potentially fraudulent?) right wing coup attempt in Bolivia which occurred over the weekend. Enjoy!

In today's episode, we sat down to discuss a botched assassination in the UK between rival boutique clothiers, how much Elden Ring we've been playing, condiments and which ones we enjoy, the floundering Biden campaigns attempts to woo celebs, and some other small items.

This week we return to the Congo River Basin of the late 19th Century to discuss the establishment of the Congo Free State by Leopold II, King of the Belgians. Part one of this series, episode 118 of Left Unread, laid the groundwork for Leopold's machinations, and this week we start to see his plans take shape as a swathe of brutal violence engulfs the Congo region, and European profits begin to soar. Content Warning: This episode contains frank discussion of pretty brutal violence, racism, and colonialism.

That's it, folks. He's going to jail. He's finished. Joseph Robinette Biden has accomplished a masterstroke and the bad man is going to prison for life :)

OR

That's it, folks. This is the final outrage. Our glorious martyr has mirrored Christ in his unjust persecution. Victory is assured. America will be great again :)

Idk man, pick one. We got potty humor to do.
