Vivian Wilson—who is shockingly cool and not deranged—recently mentioned that her father, one Eloo Ma, aspires to be like the virtual reality CEO guy in the 2011 book/2018 movie, Ready Player One, which he liked (?) so much that he'd force his children to read it when they misbehaved. So we looked closer at this piece of terminal nostalgia detritus and discussed how it may be representative of the pathetic pariah. Before that, we present the amuse bouche of Trump and Netanyahu reuniting in the White House + we shout out some places to get the best analyses of the ongoing "Liberation Day" chaos.

We behold the miracle of flight and its attendant spawn like airplane crashes, lists of twee explainer facts, corporate fascism, the liminal space of the airport, unrepentant missile strikes on passenger aircraft, and so forth. Before that, we do a little preamble and cover two topical stories in the up-to-the-minute news cycle: Liberation Day + Cory Booker's filibuster.

We look into the repellent and deeply unfunny world of so-called comedy made on the internet by various genocidal lunatics with a pronounced fixation on a certain holy-style of land.

Production note: This episode went through some technical issues and an accidental hiatus as Josh adjusted to new employment (as detailed in the cold open).

We return after an unplanned month long hiatus (two yet-to-be-released episodes were recorded in that time and will be released eventually, sometime before this happens) and behold the humble everyday object of the egg and see what emerges from this locus of lifeforce, this cosmic ovum. This branches out into talking about the state of MAHA nation, cooking oil wars, soda wars, the Law & Order episode about Luigi Mangione, a Chinese scientific development giving us something—anything—to believe in, and more. Plus, the soundboard revolution has begun.

Our geriatric politicians continue to physically unspool before our eyes, continued. /§/ News emerges that Bolsanaro tried to poison Lula, denies it, then begs for amnesty in a single news cycle. /§/ Both "Uber for guns" and the Mangione trial begin. /§/ A truly grim Zionist comedy of errors in Miami. /§/ White House Faith Office head honcho transcends human language. /§/ Sloppy Steve Bannon does paradoxical tryhard low-effort saluteplay, drinks while podcasting. /§/ Dogemusk continues to irritate the colicky state of being of current US-centered society.

First and foremost, Biden's gonna be a real star in his post-presidency—I'm ready for my close-up, jack! More heightened and bombastic forms of business as usual continue on in the form of hacking and looting the treasury, beaucratic sleight of hand, casting poxes upon Gaza while publicly fellating at-large war criminals, the Democratic party doing hilariously ineffectual "resistence" i.e. controlled opposition, and so forth. Trump to enter a third term, have his likeness carved into Mt. Rushmore, and hey just how prominently will he display Bibi's beautiful Golden Pager gift?
