Eleanor Penny rejoins us to talk about the government and media class’s ongoing cynicism in suppressing and criminalising any expression of Palestinian solidarity. We also read an article that - let’s say - got everyone in something of a Tilly.

Riley speaks with DSA members Grace and Alvaro about the long years and efforts the organisation put in to secure Zohran Mamdani the democratic nomination for NY mayor… apparently it’s more than just TikToks! But first, we revisit an old, old friend and look at a shiny new piece of hardware.

Jeremy and Alex from the Quorators join us to talk about the oncoming AI slop deluge, the epidemic of boulder violence against glass bridges, and then we deal with some U.K. themed quoras.

Archie has been following the ups and downs of Your Party, and gives us the inside story on where it all went wrong organisationally. Then, we read another article about AI intruding into people’s lives and making them horribly uncanny.

Move over Deloitte Pride Float - there’s a new brand of liberalism in town! Ahmed al-Sharaa, erstwhile leader of HTS, now promoting Syria as a global investment destination, sits down with his old sporting rival David Petraeus. What’s six years of imprisonment between friends? Also, we talk about the recognition of Palestine and who “gets” to be a state, the circular financing driving useless AI valuations to new highs, and Starmer...
Brian Merchant, of Blood in the Machine, joins us to talk about his new series, AI Took My Job. It includes stories from not just artists and translators, but tech workers, healthcare workers, and even suicide counsellors. But before that, we decide that in the bleakness of the day we could all use a moment of TF season one whimsy, and talk about a fridge with ads on it. Remember that?

The world’s most regular man takes the stand in his own defence and proceeds to… utterly waste the court’s time arguing about pronouns. Also, we talk about the ongoing collapse of civil liberties on both sides of the Atlantic, and consider what it means when the leaders of both major parties in the UK simply seem to not want their jobs very much.
A wasting disease has struck TF! The survivors, Riley and Hussein, are joined by Mattie Lubchansky who is bravely subbing in for the fallen, to discuss Trump’s state visit to the UK, the ongoing right wing cancellation march that’s spreading around the world, and then a whimsical new AI device whose main feature is that it hates you. Then, Riley talks to the Public Interest Law Centre’s Paul Heron, who is currently pursuing two Pal...
We booked this recording with June from Kill the Computer and Ill Conceived to talk about something else, and were then overtaken by events like three times. We talk about the Epstein Book, political violence, the likely Partygating of Keir Starmer… but otherwise I guess it was kind of a slow news week.

Jake and Jacob from Screen Rot join us to talk about the two men who post videos of themselves saying “bosh,” and why everyone in Britain (and elsewhere?) seems keen to project their politics onto these men.

We talk about a pair of startups that aim to replace the entirety of human interiority using a pair of glasses and a smartphone. Also, we discuss the Labour frontbench’s ever escalating flag habit, and the concerns for what this means at a time of rising threat towards refugees.

Trump’s touching the money! Nathan Tankus, the Fed whisperer, returns to talk about the political economy of dying empire, specifically as it relates to some of its more important (if somewhat… evil…) institutions. Also, we talk about the ongoing assault on the mental health of vulnerable people by chatbots.

Mattie from No Gods No Mayors subs in for Nova, and we talk about what it’s like when politicians lead from the left versus right… and we discuss Eric Adams, the bag of chips, and the city’s partnership with the Citizen App. Finally, we look at the updated prospects for Trojena to host the 2029 Asian winter games and come up with some creative engineering solutions.

Auto journalist Victoria Scott joins us to discuss a question that’s been on Riley’s mind for a while… why is the American auto industry “like that”? Also, we discuss a hot new company called Minnect that we’re all excited to jump ship for right away.

Luke Savage drops by to talk to Riley and Nova about the KKKanadian Government’s efforts to stymie industrial action by Air KKKanada flight attendants, and how it’s emblematic of his broader lurch to the right, which we also discuss. We end by discussing everyone in Britain’s new favourite holiday… Flag Day!

Riley's away this week, so Nova is in charge of the bonus and welcomes Kill James Bond's very own Devon to the show to discuss - among other things - continued rulings from the EHRC making it more difficult to be trans in the United Kingdom... and then the phenomenon of people getting into relationships with ChatGPT.

It’s all true - the nans were planning up to forty Nine-Elevens. We talk about the wave of (largely) pensioner arrests this weekend and what it means for civil liberties, the homelessness minister doing a landlord whoopsie, and then we read an article about what it’s like to be gentrified out of your neighbourhood as a 0.1%er.

Due to illness and absence we have convened an unusual cast configuration of Riley, Hussein, and Nate, in which we discuss recent allegations that the Reform UK party is "woke" because they're not transphobic enough somehow. We also discuss a Bloomberg article about the right-wing sealed biosphere that produced one of the DOGE tweens. Sorry this is late: we've gone woke! Also November was sick and a lot of stuff has been up in the ...
