Ten Thousand Posts

We've unlocked one of our bonus episodes this week, because we felt that there is an issue that too many have been silent on, fearing the woke mob who have normalised things such as overly-long personal blogs on top of simple recipes, and the defence of, in the words of Donald Trump, "bad-food restaurants".

We're joined by friend of the show Riley Quinn (@Raaleh), from Trashfuture, Boney Island Whitefish, The Bottlemen and probably some others, to talk about Italo-Food Futurism, and how a guy called Fillipo Marinnetti once had dreams of creating food that would inspire men to fight and win wars, only to be laughed at by the troops. But, his legacy lives on in a weird way - namely, in the form of strange viral food videos, ranging from Epic Meal Time style food sculptures to that woman who made the cheetos and candy macaroni and cheese and made everyone get mad online again.

Ten Thousand Posts is a show about how everything is posting. It's hosted by Hussein (@Hkesvani), Phoebe (@PRHroy) and produced by Drew (@Drewtopia_). You can get bonus content on Patreon for as little as $5 a month, at www.patreon.com/10kpostspodcast. 

This week,  Milo Edwards (@Milo_Edwards) joins us once again on the podcast for yet another strange hybrid podcast where we aren't sure if we're talking about start ups, Seinfeld or posts.  Eventually, we decide to talk about Milo's attempted cancellation by British guys with Ukranian flags in their Twitter names, who are convinced that Milo is a war criminal because he was pictured with a bag of "Daddy's Sugar" at a French resort. Which leads us to a bigger question: How have posts about Russia broken the liberal brain online, to the point where basically everyone has been accused of being on Putin's payroll as an official Kremlin cyberbully? 

This week, we're joined by The New Republic's Alex Pareene (@Pareene) to talk about extremely online mayors, and why the upcoming London Mayoral Race is filled with internet personalities who care way more about their individual grievances against Twitter and Facebook than about the cities they actually want to run. It's not just in London either! We also talk about the New York City mayoral race and how its frontrunner - former Presidential candidate Andrew Yang - has also utilised his poster's brain to amass widespread support outside of New York. 

On this week's pod, we're joined by Ed Ongweso (@bigblackjacobin) from the very good podcast This Machine Kills (@machinekillspod) to talk about why certain rich people who love evolutionary psychology are obsessed with designing high IQ babies whose sole purpose is to design apps for your various delivery and content streaming services. We then talk about the former British deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg - now a PR guy at Facebook- who sent out a very long memo to Facebook users telling them that if they, or their loved ones, get radicalised on the platform, it's their own fault. How does Clegg suggest people stay safe on the world's biggest social media platform? Simple: spend hours learning how Facebook's complicated and stupid User Interface works, and give more of your data to them for highly personalised ad curation. Great!

In this week's bonus episode, we talk about all the Pandemic Posts that broke our brains and churned it into soup. Friend of the pod Milo Edwards (@Milo_Edwards) talks to us about all the dumb things that happened in the past year - including Sarah Vine, the wife of Michael Gove, revealing that the government minister has a bunch of race science books proudly displayed in their living room. When questioned about it, Vine also decided to talk about her husbands long schlong. This is all incredibly normal behaviour!

On our second attempt to try summarise the weirdest posts of the Coronavirus Pandemic, we enlisted friend of all the pods Milo Edwards (@Milo_Edwards) to help us remember all the things that happened.

We talk about what happens when a conspiracy theorist is proven right, and how it completely messes with their sense of self. Plus, we discuss the hoarding of toilet paper and eggs - a situation that forced Hussein to buy eggs in a plastic bag from a car mechanic. He still has no idea where the eggs came from.

Finally, we talk about the infamous 'Hipster Analysis' post and how it laid the groundwork for Covid-19 turning into yet another dumb culture war issue. 

CONTENT NOTE: Since recording this episode last week, a number of allegations against Chet Hanks have come out, involving previously unknown instances of intimate partner violence. As such we retract our charmed comments and responses to Chet Hanks and do not condone, support or, indeed, endorse him.  Everyone involved in this podcast stands on the side of survivors of abuse, unequivocally and unconditionally.

Did you know that cops aren't good? On this week's bonus episode, we're joined by Katie Way (@k80way) to talk about her newsletter All Cops Are Posters, which documents all the bizarre posts cops in the US are posting to express their endless victimhood complex - despite causing the vast majority of their own problems. We also talk about the story that led to 'Mommy Milky' trending, and why so many people get mad at anyone if they have a blue checkmark. Hussein will be selling his once he's figured out how to put it on the blockchain.

Hey, why are so many guys online getting mad about neo gothic architecture? Why are they dreaming about having a 'tradwife' to feed them snacks while they keep losing money in cryptocurrency?

This week, we're joined by friend of the show John Duncan (@johntheduncan), a Youtuber and PhD researcher in Human Rights. We talk about political content on Youtube, and in particular, how long, well researched content is struggling to cut through the overload of 'debate' style content, where a guy will shout into a podcast microphone about Antifa SJWs ruining nerd culture because of corporate sponsored feminism. Moreover, we talk about how certain Youtube creators, in their pursuit to DESTROY their opponents for content, routinely misquote and misinterpret academic literature, which has a knock-on effect on overworked and underpaid academics.
