After a week off and a delayed upload, we're back and accidentally illustrating how insanely fast the news cycle operates. We discuss our IRL meet up in LA and then... May Day: Thanks for doing anything at all. / The real criminals taste justice, while the grotesque and sclerotic captains of perversion and speculative finance roam free, forever unimpeded. / China: No AI jobs will outright replace human jobs, BUT AT WHAT COST?!? / Hantavirus: Surely nothing will go wrong this time. / Alex Jones/InfoWars/Knowledge Fight: Co-host Jordan Holmes's podcast-ending rant about the whole thing. / [Forrest Gump voice] The President "nearly" got assassinated...again. Who care? False flag? Meh. / Trump: female woman respecter calls Epstein victims, "victims or whatever" + self-awarding meme-made-flesh + "we're like pirates" + AI posts + 'Project Freedom' begun/abandoned in short succession. / Every militarized sea mammal accusation is a militarized sea mammal confession. / Itamar Ben-Gvir: noose-themed birthday cake and his smug fascist taunts hurled at Gaza Freedom Flotilla activists. / Korean napping competition. / The resilience of the human heart.
