Sophie Weiner, night-editor of Splinter News and displaced poster, was back in NYC for a bit. We got her in studio to talk about politics in Australia and other oddities... for example, something good happened in Albany for once! We were also gifted with another lovely morsel of #content from media power couple Bari & Bill Weiss-Maher.

Mostly we had a fun discussion about electronic dance music (kids these days call it 'the raving') and how socialists can organize within the scene while inspiring our politics with the libratory potentials of it. All of this, of course, is anticipation of this week's publication of Sophie and Zoe Beery's new anti-capitalist dance music zine... PLURletariat. Enjoy!

Ur fave left logician is back to unpack some recent twitter dustups, the posturing 'rationalism' of Ayn Rand, BreadTube's first menchie in the Paper of Record, and the potentials/perils of deplatforming.

Ben Burgis, author of 'Give Them an Argument' from Zero Books, stops by the studio to discuss the use and abuse of logic: why we can't cede this terrain to right-wing ghouls; how we can better argue for a better world; and how Karl Marx could be the messiest bitch of the 19th century while remaining logically sound.

Plus, the return of This Week in Musk where we trace the travails of our century's most insufferable ruling class twit. Enjoy!
