Minion Death Cult

We're still on the road, so we thought we'd release our live set from New York last sunday.

We start off with a tour of reactionary Seattle media, including ABC special "Seattle is Dying," (an absurdly cruel attack on the homeless)

and right-wing talk show host Jason Rantz lashes out at a plan to allow social workers to respond to mental health crises with an incredible cautionary tale.

We end our set with The Ballad of Based Dirt, starting at reactionary, trad religious facebook groups and leading all the way to a right-wing outrage-mill blog feeding off the anguished souls of its readers.

Thanks to New York for having us, and thanks to Pod Damn America and Antifada and Ani for helping us.

We just did Philadelphia last night with Well There's Your Problem and Antifada. Had a blast. Ate some great food. Saw a great record store. Hopefully we'll get a recording of that episode as well.

Thanks to everyone who said hi and bought merch

TODAY: A Starfield streamer absolutely loses his mind over the presence of pronouns in the immersive role playing game. His compatriots conclude that this is the most powerful video of a man taking a stand since Rich Men North of Richmond

ALSO: MORE GENDER. A Mexican gender reveal party leaves a pilot dead, and conservative readers settle on blaming millennials and teachers(?)

We cap the episode off with some good news in the form of opinion polling showing that a sizeable majority of US adults don't think teachers are groomers or should spend classes fighting woke ideology.

Also, a new survey suggests HALF of dog owners are now concerned about giving their pet a rabies vaccine, and we tracked them down.

Finally, we dive into Witches for Trump, an assortment of facebook pages fighting back against the liberal/progressive "PLAYgans" and their more coherent worldview.

And Ashli Babbitt's killer is promoted within the secret service, leading to a new round of the most specific anti-cop protests you've ever seen.

Plus, we say goodbye to Joe the Plumber, revisit his hits, and tearfully add him to the Obama kill count

Finally: An off-duty police officer hospitalizes a 15 year-old kid for ding-dong-ditching his house, and we witness the bizarre lengths people will go to defend cops.

TODAY: Elon finally gets his revenge against Tony and bans his twitter account for fraudulent charges. We of course clear his name.

In other news: Donald Trump is arrested, and the Fulton County Sheriff drops a mug shot seen 'round the world. According to Trump's supporters it seems like he's going to get revenge on behalf of the black community?

Also: the right wing predicts another COVID-19 lockdown (mask recommendations) and WILL. NOT. COMPLY. WITH. WHATEVER. HAPPENS.

TODAY: The show gets a very special new follower in the form of talented, successful, but fully death-cult illustrator Danny Hellman.

We reveal the shitpost that put us on his radar, his insane twitter feed, and how knowing what his politics are sheds new light on his tWisTEd Gen-X illustrations.

Plus: we look at the interesting ways news outlets have reported (and audiences have commented) on the Blind Side / Michael Oher lawsuit against his conservator "family."

Finally: we take a trip down memory lane with a couple teenage bands including the Christian Refused clone Blindside, and melodramatic emo band The Beautiful Mistake, including a music video with the most selfless nice guy in existence.

Today we cover the result of the Teamsters UPS contract vote, compare the data to our expectations, and relay some very odd Facebook group responses

Also: we dive into the right's freakout over viral "Rich Men North of Richmond" singer Oliver Anthony proclaiming that America is "a melting pot" and "diversity is our strength"

We examine why the "based" right wing would have so much invested in the overnight sensation, looking into the coping ("a melting pot means everyone becomes homogeneous!") and seething ("From Chad To Cuck At The Speed Of Light") across Twitter, Facebook, and Substack

And Finally, we learn about the movement among Oliver Anthony fans to hold a General Strike on September 1st to, uh, protest taxes—with the help of some truly cursed Tik Toks.

TODAY: an Australian girl visiting America says we need to chill out with all the flags. Is she right?? The country responds by freaking out about flags even harder and more irrationally.

Also: an Alabama woman goes viral with a popular, populist message about housing costs, food costs, and insufficient wages. We found the Fox News readers willing to disagree and place the blame squarely where it belongs: on my granddaughter.
