We got Red Scare to come on the pod.

*Mission Accomplished Banner Unfurls*

We're joined by The Perpetual Self-Optimizer (@_selfoptimizer) from the System of Systems podcast and of Twinkrev.com writing fame to discuss the art world's corrosive effects on our interior lives, OnlyFans ruining sex, and amateur online psychiatric diagnoses.

We're back after a week off for Thanksgiving, and we discuss the wildlife of Tahoe, Haile Selassie's gay dogs, French police protests, Hungarian MEPs getting caught going to sex parties during lockdown, amateur art criticism on Twitter, and the murder of Iran's top nuclear scientist.

We're joined by science journalist and author Leigh Phillips to talk about sciencing the left, nuclear power, COVID-19 vaccines, techno-pessimism, left-Malthusianism, central planning, and defeating eco-Thatcherism.

We're joined by Dakotah Lilly (@GringoChavista1) to talk about tech censorship of the anti-imperialist left, what the Biden administration means for the Latin American left, travels in Venezuela, and the baffling political history of Argentina.

We're back with our first regular episode since the Biden/Harris regime seized power. We analyze the election a little bit, but mostly we just yell angrily about how awful the beige, smooth wall of liberal consensus was before and after it. We also talk about what we've been watching, which is 100% exclusively media about the NXIVM cult and Scientology. Gian muses as to whether the Democratic party is best analyzed as a cult and then Sam steps on the joke.

We're joined by Alex Holmstrom-Smith (@holmstromsmith) to discuss the state of commercial surrogacy. Is it tied to the sex work debate? What are the arguments against it? And how do we buy a designer baby Ceausescu clone using our Patreon money?

It's a scary Halloween/Election episode. We discuss the lackluster prospects for Halloween this year, everybody having election brain, and Glenn Greenwald's spooky resignation from The Intercept.

We're joined by Erich Arbor (@ArborErich) to discuss his writings on the recent boom of "Settlers" by J. Sakai, "decolonize amerikkka" rhetoric and how it contrasts with the MAS leadership in Bolivia, and discuss the recent vote in Chile to create a Chicago Boy-free constitution.
