271・It's Drapetomania All the Way Down

We talk about some stuff and apologize for it all along the way. Remembering v. 'membering. Dictionaries force their words to compete for dominance. Suicide and litigation collide in dispiriting fashion. Device hoarding and planned obsolescence add new rungs to old ladders that turn out to've been cages all along. Korean ferry crashes, loneliness. A well-known LLM settles the mystery of Elliott Smith's death once and for all. The penetrating gaze of antizionism and the epic meme reactions to it. Amy Schumer and the SlapChop guy bottomfeed in unison, while Andrew Tate somehow bottomfeeds (from the top) even harder. Bolsonaro got curious about his ankle monitor. USA wants its death machines kindly returned from their intended victims and without any guff, thankyouverymuch. Giving thanks. Valhalla Patel. UK lectures USA about appreciating a good scandal and breaks news about the US healthcare being a titch suboptimal at the moment. 

Recorded on Saturday, November 29th, 2025 around 11.00 AM Korea Standard Time
