Nepal recently banned 26 social media platforms, including Facebook and YouTube. As you'd expect, the youth didn't take the news well. The combination of this stifling of free expression along with growing concerns about NepoKids, the children of the powerful who keep landing exactly where you'd expect, prompted young people in Nepal to rise up and overthrow their own government. Parliament is now happening on Discord (yes, for real) and Nepal has sworn in its first female Prime Minister, a landmark moment that deserves more attention than it's getting. All of that and more on this episode!

Adam and Ethan take a deep dive into one of America's most ambitious and suspicious military proposals: the Golden Dome missile defense system. What is it, how much is it going to cost, and why are so many experts convinced it will never work? We tackle the subject with all of the trademark clarity, chaos, shock and awe you've come to expect from this operation. Looking for someone to explain trillion-dollar defense spending in a way that's equal parts informative, infuriating, and unsettlingly cavalier about the prospect of World War III? If so, this is the episode for you!

Adam Tod Brown and Ethan Lawrence and, folks, the headlines just keep getting weirder. El Salvador's Nayib Bukele is clearing a legal path to be El Salvador's forever president. South Korea has deployed gigantic hologram police officers to patrol the streets. England is cracking down on liquid butt lifts. A streamer who built an audience around being abused on camera has tragically died during a live stream while being abused on camera. Go figure! Over 300 people fell ill after eating free meals from an Indonesian government food program. A supersized stick insect has been discovered in Australia, if you can believe that. And a leaked military report suggests that 80 percent of Palestinians killed in Gaza were civilians. No way! 

All that, plus all sorts of takes you didn't ask for but will take anyway. And you will like it!

In this episode: Jonestown tourism a thing now, but should it be? We dig into the dark history of the Peoples Temple massacre site and why travelers are showing up. Then, French President Emmanuel Macron is taking legal action against conservative commentator Candace Owens. Find out what kind of bonkers stuff she said to make that happen and what the lawsuit means for free speech across borders.
