TRASHFUTURE

This week, Riley, Milo, Hussein, and Alice discuss even more police-related ideas from UK politicians, a terrible startup from Australia, and the recent news that Netflix’s share price has collapsed due to–big if true–the fact that they don’t make any money. Hope you enjoy!

We welcome back friend of the show Wendy Liu (@dellsystem) to discuss what you might call a sociology of bizarre startup-centric ads all over San Francisco, but we also found a way to automate Keir Starmer via a text-generating AI, and... it's perhaps *too* accurate.

This week, we’re back with friend of the show and comic artist Mattie Lubchansky (@lubchansky) to discuss recent developments in New York related to the surveillance state being onerous and also non-functional in any advertised way (but still extremely harmful). We also talk about the antipolitics of the Rwanda deportation camps plan. It’s a whole lot to take in!

For this month's first Britainology, we're joined in studio by Juliet Jacques (@zinovievletter) to discuss the '90s phenomenon of Mr Blobby, the rotund pink robot who took Britain by storm, stayed relevant for 30 years, spawned a hit single, a number of failed theme parks, and the sheer bafflement of anyone not from this strange island.

Ken Klippenstein joins the gang to discuss the special Amazon app that doesn’t let you say “bathroom” or “Union” or “prison” that the company later claimed was some kind of April fools joke (?). But first, we look at the new energy “strategy” and a collective translatlantic failure to address the crises of our day. Also Riley saw another car.

This week, we've learned about a startup that can only be described as an Airbnb goon squad. We've also learned about the Chancellor of the Exchequer declaring that the UK is going to mint an NFT. But it's also a stablecoin? And it doesn't appear to be a jpg of the Queen smoking weed.

This week, we’re speaking with Molly White (@molly0xFFF) of Web 3 Is Going Great (@web3isgreat) about a recent NYT article that simply cannot stop trying to sell crypto, all the while claiming to scrutinise crypto. Hope you enjoy!

Patrick Wyman (@Patrick_Wyman), host of the wonderful Tides of History, returns to the podcast to talk about the development of the state and warfare over the last six hundred years. We also discuss yet another landlord-centric startup (sure seems to be a lot of them these days!)

A startup that makes the… strangest case for the metaverse we’ve yet heard. The British political establishment proposing a response to a crisis that won’t approach any of its causes or effects. A columnist proposes a negotiated settlement between Britain and reality that turns on gratitude to the royals. It’s TF!
