TRASHFUTURE

We discuss the new Epstein revelations that show that jeevacation also had a day job as a kind of nefarious Forrest Gump, facilitating or gleefully observing a huge number of the events that made our world feel so irredeemable, connecting a world of post-Soviet and American oligarchs with European aristocrats, western financiers, and basically every intelligence agency. In the second half, we talk to sociologist Paolo Gerbaudo about Ellison and friends’ acquisition of TikTok USDS and what that means for politics and social media going forward.

We’re joined by Blood Work’s Greg Foley to discuss the ongoing wave of state violence in the United States, and think about what makes this time different and altogether more worrying. Also, we look at the Labour Party shooting itself in the head rather than ceding any control to non-Morgan McSweeneys… but before any of that we look at what’s happening in a country that dealt with its fascism problem properly.

Dan Boeckner joins for more CanCon as Mark Carney continues his journey from central banker to Maoist Third Worldist “death to amerikkka” insurgent leader in charge of the Hoser Mujahedeen. Also, we don’t want to be all IR all the time in the IR world we live in now, so we return to the orbs and the ongoing evidence that AI is useless and everybody except CEOs hates it.

A rare assemblage of November, Hussein, and Nate discuss the happenings of the day: Europeans deploying forces to Greenland to stave off Trump actually doing the thing; Trump's coterie of freaks claiming they're going to offer refugee status in America to British Jews; an article about an AI-powered restaurant chain where the machine not only cooks your food, but also invents your food. It doesn't sound great, if we're being honest!

I guess it’s another slow news day, so TF invited Seamus Malekafzali back on to discuss his favourite old French films. Wait, I am being handed a bulletin. We get into a lot this episode: bloc politics, international law and multilateralism as a European museum exhibit, and a world that seems poised to get much bloodier.
