TRASHFUTURE

The eternal gadfly of British politics and reality TV returns to the centre stage yet again, and as such Milo and Hussein cobble together all their anecdotes and facts to explain George Galloway's whole deal to Nate. No guarantees that they succeed, but they try.

Please enjoy this recording of our recent live performance in London, in which we encounter the worst publishing company on the planet, plus a foray into British politics’ sudden discovery of racism existing. Note: this episode was planned for release in May, but we’ve decided to put it out right away instead. Also, we had some periodic mic issues that we’ve tried to edit around, but we apologise for any weird sounds beyond the normally expected amount of weird sounds. Hope you enjoy!

We speak with friend of the show and returning guest Dr Eleanor Janega about a recent tech newsletter that compared the advent of ChatGPT to the invention of the heavy plow. But we also had to discuss a startup making surveillance-tech vending machines that will aggressively misgender you, and more.

The gang catches up with QAA’s Annie Kelly to discuss the pilledness situation in Parliament, centrist radicalisation, and an MP who got so excited about being a soldier in the anti-vax army that he left his family.

We all saw the story about the weird A.I.-generated Wonka-themed event in Glasgow. But we also think it’s a harbinger of other things to come re: the only things that make it endearing at all are the difficult-despite-it-all attempts to work with terrible material—attempts that humans have to make!—when the computer says to do something stupid. We also talk about Johnny Mercer’s strange quantum state of admitting to knowledge of but also refusing to disclose information about UK military war crimes in Afghanistan. Also we talk about November’s predictions for 2024: King dead; Saudi economic collapse.

For this week's bonus, Riley, Milo, Hussein, and November gather to discuss some recent news: British media pretending to care about Islamophobia being said too loudly, Americans pretending to care about mental health if it means they can shame criticism of Israel, and Liz Truss pretending to have a future in American conservative politics. But also we discuss a hypothetical Batman movie where the Woker (Woke Joker) forces Batman to say slurs if he wants to save Gotham.

The little story of a London wine bar heir who decided to create a company that will scan your face constantly to see if you belong on a shoplifting database. And if you pop up, it’ll encourage Tesco employees to… annoy you? We’re not making this up.

For this week’s free episode, Riley, Milo, Hussein, and November join special guest Abigail Thorn (@PhilosophyTube) to discuss three disparate incidents in the UK that expose the relentless march of the War on Being Normal. That’s right—three incidents in British politics that show the implacably deranged tenor of anti-trans politics in Britain, a position fully accepted by both major parties and the entirety of the media. And yet its proponents are miserable and convinced there’s a grand conspiracy where every single organisation on earth that doesn’t share 100 percent of their views has been infiltrated by their enemies. This sounds weirdly familiar, but if you say that out loud then Rosie Duffield gets to call an airstrike on you (we don’t make the rules).
