019 - Our Experimental Phase

We get mildly zooted on the nootropic equivalent of adrenochrome and languidly drift and fiercely machete our way through  a very small percentage of the internet. Extraterrestrial life. Vlad the Impaler. Nuclear football. Herd immunity is genocide. COVID Derangement Syndrome. Flights to nowhere. A chicken nugget launched into space. Beheadings. 500 lashings for blasphemy. Beer flood. Kinetoscope anniversary. Top Gun sequel. Woodrow Wilson and Trump join their own pandemics. Nancy Pelosi will kill you for her fridges and iced creams. Nazi Olympics. Clickbait Roulette, the World Socialist Website, and On This Day segments get haphazardly spliced together on a near-chromosomal level. And more!General RecommendationsJD's Recommendation: UtopiaJNM's Recommendation: Ari Aster's Short Films: Before ‘Hereditary’ and ‘Midsommar,’ Ari Aster Directed These Six Short Films With Similar ThemesFurther Reading, Viewing, ListeningWhy you should avoid afternoon surgeryAustralian man faces 500 lashes in Saudi Arabia for blasphemyA British supermarket launched a chicken nugget into spaceThe Great Barrington Declaration: A manifesto of deathAmid record long-term unemployment, US government denies aid to workers1814: London Beer Flood1888: Thomas Edison files a patent for the Optical PhonographLocationless LocationsEvery show-related link is corralled and available here.Heat Death of the Universe - @heatdeathpodPlease send all Letters of Derision, Indifference, Inquiry, Mild Elation, et cetera to: [email protected] us Fan MailSupport the showSupport: patreon / buzzsprout
