EOI 131 -- Piss Poor Design

===========================

Hello again! This episode, recorded on March 19th, 2024, features commentary from comrades Chava, Joe, and myself. We cover the "suicide" of Boeing whistleblower John Barnett, the 737 MAX engineer who outright refused to fly on the 737 MAX, still more atrocities committed against the Palestinian people in the weeks preceding the ceasefire resolution, the sweet irony of Yemen's assault on the United States, the absurd movie plot playing out in NATO and the European Union, the ejection of US forces from Niger, and the arrest of a "ballsy" former political candidate, as it were. Slams hit so hard this time they scrambled my brain.

Episode 130: Crawling Peg

=============================

This episode, recorded on March 5th, 2024, features commentary from comrades Scott, Joe, Chava, and myself.

CONTENT WARNING FOR SUICIDE, as we dive into the self-immolation of Aaron Bushnell, and responses to it by law enforcement, the American military-industrial complex, the Palestinian resistance, the neoliberal press, left-wing youtubers, and ourselves, of course, in addition to detailing the pathological false consciousness intended to undermine radical collective action. We also discuss plane-seeking tornadoes; developments from the Palestinian front lines; ICC charges against Western war criminals; the Argentine implosion; local developments both good and bad; and the Texan ass bandit; finally closing out with some southwestern slamming desert death.

EOI Episode 127: Part Two -- Abracadabra, Jack.

****************

LISTEN TO PART ONE: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/epoch-of-incredulity/episodes/Episode-127-Part-One---Suddenly-Not-Having-a-Good-Time-e2eute1

****************

Hello comrades! Welcome back to the Epoch of Incredulity. This is part two of episode 127, recorded on 01/16/24. Please keep in mind that (a) we had already been recording for like an hour and forty five minutes by this time, and (b) the ICJ was still reviewing evidence presented at the genocide hearing when we recorded our segment, which deepens our own vindication alongside that of South Africa. In addition, Chava, Joe, and I touch on Fetterman's embarrassing ignorance, Biden's dismal approval ratings, NOAA's distressing annual climate report, and some truly tragic toilet trauma, before closing out with some gut-wrenching slams at the gateway to siberia.

Hello comrades! Chava, Joe, and I recorded this on 1/16/24, and, perhaps given the abundance of bullshit in the first few weeks of the new year, I've had to trim about an hour from it and split it up into two parts.

In part one, we uncover the neoliberal rot undergirding the recent Boeing 737 Max 9 incident and discuss the deepening quagmire in West Asia, including: The success of the Red Sea blockade in stymying western war profiteering; the pentagon-brained bombing campaign, in response, against Ansar Allah; the Mossad-backed oil pirates that were vaporized in Kurdistan (Northern Iraq); and the tragedy unfolding among settlers in the Israeli occupied territory.

Part two will be released whenever I'm done editing.
