Send us Fan MailOil's over $100 a barrel and we've all had to trade our cars for bicycles. Well, not really, but fuel prices are mental and Vietnam's government just abolished fuel duty while the UK is... raising it. Brilliant.This week on Temporally Scripted, we're covering why Trump keeps saying the Iran war will be "over tomorrow" (narrator: it wasn't), Starmer knowing about Mandelson's Epstein connections before hiring him, the Greens winning a by-election promising to legalize everything, and why AI infrastructure is about to cost $600 billion in 2026.Then we're diving into Elon Musk's plan for orbital data centers powered by solar satellites (mining the moon for raw materials, naturally), news outlets recycling stories from 2017 and pretending they're new, a woman who kept another woman captive for 25 years only getting 13 years in prison, and lab-grown foie gras getting UK safety approval.Plus: why middle management pay hasn't increased while pot washers now earn £25K, universal basic income speculation, and our Top 5 Shockingly Expensive Substances On Earth — from antimatter at $62.5 trillion per gram to saffron at $3,800 per kilo.New episodes every week.
