We’ve got some serious issues: Iran is too real of a country to ignore, and Saudi Arabia is becoming a real country in that it suddenly can’t find $300m to fund the LIV Golf tournament in Louisiana. Because something happened regarding the thing that it uses to make all its money from? We also dig into Israel’s occupation of Lebanon as “means of thwarting a peace deal” and as default function in a state run by people who need a war happening to stay out of prison. But don’t worry, we keep it really optimistic.

I can’t believe he’s gone… he had so many relaunches left in him. We reflect on the premiership of Keir Starmer and ponder what awaits this country under Burnham, before reading the poem that proves AI generated art is just as worthwhile as anything done by a human.

Britain inches closer to legislating a national bedtime for rowdy teens and there’s another ministerial resignation over an inability to make it 1942 again by science or magic.

We invited friend of the show David Z. Morris, author of “Stealing the Future: Sam Bankman-Fried, Elite Fraud, and the Cult of Techno-Utopia,” to discuss his book and some recent developments in even dumber AI. But the truth is, most of this episode is about a tactical chud bespoke suit company called Brimble and Clark. No matter how dumb you think it’s going to be, you’re not even close.

Gregk from Blood Work joins us to discuss the recent wave of street violence in England and the three way fight for the soul of the English chud. But first, we look at a magic economy box, replete with 2001-vintage Super Troopers jokes in its corporate PR, that we are CERTAIN will make no mistakes. Listen free right meow.
