I successfully bullied Justin from the Anti-Empire Project into a Saturday morning livestream!!! We talk, in a roundabout way, about ZIoAmerican regime change wars and what the defeat at the hands of Iran means for the future of the US empire.

I went back to my roots this week and we talked about small business guys, we brought Gita Jackson from Aftermath to talk about the army that fuels our nation. We had a John Taffer speech about small business, a guy that cannot stop getting owned by one of his employees, a guy opening a coffee shop for people who don't have kids.

nothing (establishing) episode tbh, but maybe later parts will be interesting

This week we took a break from looking at collectors and hobbyists to look at the most annoying of all guys Debate Guys. We brought Will Weldon from I Hate Bill Maher on and we talk about the caffeine content of coke and dark story about Porno Sean and read a quora answer from the dumbest guy in the world!

can't afford 29 bucks for podcast rn. found a youtube upload but its not great quality, would love the files if anyone has them

Dimitri and Khalid discuss the implosion of Oystergruppenfuhrer Graham Platner's left slopulist Senate campaign, and speculate about the sus forces that both hyped him up and struck him down...

Ed Zitron and the TF Crew are on both your feeds this week to discuss the Softbank slide deck breakdown you’ve all been waiting for. It’s nothing other than the goose, and whether or not the goose was valued, and what kind of factory does a goose use to make golden eggs.

Softbank Presentation here.

Currently I run Musicbee on windows and really like it, but there's no native Linux support and I'd like to try something native rather than figure out how to use Wine. Tried a few different programs but nothing's hitting and I figure I'd ask here rather than just keep installing stuff blindly.

Features I'm looking for:

• Automatic and manual RSS, configurable on a per-feed basis
• Manual playlists that can include episodes from multiple podcasts
• Episodes automatically delete after finishing
• Download-based, not streaming
• Plays audio files in itself, doesn't open up another program

Programs I've already tried:

• gpodder
• Kasts
• Clemetine
• VLC

Smell that? Is that the stench of the algae bloom in Washington? Or maybe the odor of a big honkin’ AI bubble that is ready to burst? I’ll tell you what doesn’t stink: the huge sweep in Left Wing candidates in Mamdani’s New York. This week, Adam is joined by friends of the show Brennan Lee Mulligan (Dimension 20, Critical Role), and Ed Zitron (Where’s Your Ed At? https://www.wheresyoured.at/ ).

Mike Prysner takes Abby Martin through the explosive Washington Post article finally proving the level of control Gabbard received from cult leader Chris Butler through her entire career.

In this episode of the A is for Architecture Podcast, I spoke to architect and historian, Vanessa Grossman, Assistant Professor of Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania’s Weitzman School of Design, about her 2024 book, A Concrete Alliance: Communism and Modern Architecture in Postwar France, published by Yale University Press.

Sampling only the most tantalizing soupçon of the book’s ideas, Vanessa and I discuss the relationship between the French Communist Party and postwar modernist architects, and how for them concrete served not just as a symbol of avant-garde taste but also political commitment. Architects like Oscar Niemeyer, Renée Gailhoustet, Paul Chemetov and Patrick Bouchain, and the networks of actors and actants, programs and artefacts that were activated to deliver social housing and cultural and working spaces in communist municipalities across France, as a means of delivering, ultimately, a countersociety of architects that sought to put a new vision of modernism to work towards a better version France’s nascent Fifth Republic.

Really great episode.

Also, Columbo is a handsome transmasc king (tho his wife is transfem) and I will personally fight anyone who disagrees with me.

Hey, I'm just a 40-year-old dude making beats, a survivor of the Kurta clan. Just talking in about our plans for tonight.

Hope y’all enjoy it. Have a nice one!

For decades, the United States and Israel have enjoyed a uniquely close relationship. But it has not always been easy. Blowback now presents our first-ever mini-series: No Daylight. Over three episodes spanning some fifty years, No Daylight describes the turbulent times in the U.S.-Israel partnership, focusing on the Truman, Eisenhower and Reagan administrations

We’re going in for a threepeat – it’s Data Centers 3, as we continue with our analysis of the data center industry, the opposition to these hyperscale projects, and the real impacts on social communities and natural ecosystems. We get into the industry playbook of using “counterinsurgency tactics” to undermine opposition to these data centers and the ideological playbook of effective altruists treating these projects like they are just 4X strategy games. Plus how Mr. Wonderful is terraforming Utah by building a massive natural gas power plant to fuel a hyperscale data center right on the shores of the Great Salt Lake.

In 2025, researchers at the University of California submitted an academic article related to a case study of what they called “New-onset AI-associated Psychosis”. The article breaks down the case of a 26 year old woman who was hospitalized after she began to believe her brother was speaking to her through ChatGPT. Unfortunately, this was not an isolated incident and in today’s episode Liv examines similar stories that have emerged in the wake of the AI chatbot surge. Along the way, she explores how the companies behind these chatbots plan to prevent situations like this from happening - or if they plan to at all - and even shows what happens when a user becomes overly reliant on their AI and begins to sound like one themselves. In Jake’s words: “They are not making anything that’s dope.”
