Go Hoke, Go Broke

YES I'm all for newly linguistics-pilled Riley

Dirkmaxing: finding ways to conceal more daggers in your kilt

Riley are you reading Riders Rulers and Traders by David Chaffetz bc me too

P0rn Hub is all steppesister videos now

Climb Blue Tree Meadow Lift bonds to icy red skies Empty fields behind My broken shackles lie with Footprints in the melting snow - Starmer in a letter to King Charles (probably)

Things seem bleak, until you realise there's a breakdancing contest and the prize money is exactly what Britain needs to keep its economy going

On the bonds stuff, a quick clarification: One of the assumptions people make is that bonds change their yield because of the risk that a country won't pay their bonds AKA default risk. This literally cannot happen in a country with its own central bank issuing bonds in its own currency. Without default risk, the only thing bond traders need to care about is the yield relative to the central bank rate which strictly speaking means that the bond yield is whatever the government, acting through its agent the central bank, wants it to be. That said, in practice the government likes to pretend it's constrained (because we are at the mercy of a clueless and feckless ruling class who don't like to be held responsible the state of the world) so instead the central bank sets rates as a kind of signal for where they want inflation to be (with dubious evidence as to how effective that is): If they want inflation to go down, they raise the rates; if they want inflation to rise, they lower it. That means that all of the shifts in bond rates can be tracked towards not even inflation expectations, but the ossified inflation expectations of the Bank of England. That on its own explains both the Truss "crash", where the orthodoxy would just expect her measures to cause inflation and therefore need to be adapted to, and the current situation where nobody expects UK bonds to be brought back down any time soon.

In all fairness, the US has had some real breakthroughs in the development of self-driving children for a number of years now

It's so Volover

Volocopter sounds like polari

We need abdel rahman mounif to write “cities of salt 2”

the inevitable happened and a Labour MP just decided that he'd be going along with the grooming gangs panic, doing his best Patriotic Alternative impression by calling for 'us' to 'challenge the orthodoxy of progressive liberal multiculturalism', but I checked his wiki and apparently he (Dan Carden) is an "avowed socialist" who served in the Corbyn cabinet and was until recently a Socialist Campaign Group member? nothing makes sense anymore lol. Is this one of those 'saying the word is praxis' guys, perhaps more of a 'national' socialist, you might say? He did use the word 'working-class' in that annoying way that politicians often do where it's obvious they're talking about a cultural Vibe (i.e. white, male, regional accent, seems like the kind of person who'd wax lyrical about goin' down t' pits) instead of a socioeconomic category, but a lot of people who aren't completely deranged also do that, so...

I thought this episode was unalloyed terrible news, but then we learned a Mckinsey consultant was killed at NEOM, so at least things ended on a high.

Are the volocopter people under the misapprehension that the 'helicopter' is protected by patent or something? Every one of their designs seems to be a way to build 'helicopter, but more complicated, more expensive, and less performance'.

I regret to inform everyone that we already know what Trump thinks about Wheels. Back in Jan of 2019 he gave a speech about how walls are older than wheels, and that 1000 years from now everything else will be obsolete. Therefore congress needed to build his Wall and not waste time on drones. And you know what, he was right, drones are a waste of time.

i regret to inform milo that his wolverhampton accent is a dudley accent (an issue shared with peaky blinders). wolves is “yam-yam”, brum is “yum-yum”, treat the vowels like that and that’s wolves

Since Liz Truss was too much freak for the British press, and Starmer is too little freak for the British press, then I think Blair and Boris are just the perfect pair of confident service sub paypigs for the billionaire owned and international finance backed hyper anxious findoms that make up what seem to be the majority of British Columnists. allegedly.

As Jehovah's Witness Starmer, I have a plan to fix the NHS, no blood transfusions

Cold open consisting of five minutes of proto-indo-european gags is what keeps me listening to this despite November never letting Riley finish a sentence

Oh no steppe Trump I’m stuck in the golden toilet

Wait, are they implying Dirk Hoke might be a conman, a charlatan, a hokester, perhaps?

Oh good, more about the spinning rat.

okay I know it's objectively bad but I would give ANYTHING to be an 8 year old hooning earth moving equipment in the boonies of Saudi. dudes rock

Mongolian porn be like “wha-what are you doing steppe-brother??”

this episode got me feeling like a white Juban

That book title was such a Riley-coded string of words that I genuinely thought it was a bit

But what does “volocopter” mean in Greek?

Hitchhiking in the desert and getting a lift from an 8 year old driving a water truck is the movie David Lynch is too afraid to make.

God i'm glad i live in the better managed version of the UK, this is depressing for them af

thanks for opening with a riff about PIE, really warms my linguist heart

So, “Team Satem”/ “Team Kentum” T-shirts when?

This isn't a dig on the podcast, but idk if I can listen any more, it's too depressing.

Whatcha gonna do when Hokeamania runs wild on you, steppe brother

In Wolverhampton did Keir Starmer a stately portacabin decree

Will Riley give up the distinctly pre-Indo-European habit of weight lifting and start doing steppe aerobics?

Dick Energy is Dirk Hoke's American cousin

my personal hypothesis is that rachael reeves believes she's playing an enormous game of Victoria 3 and she's setting the economy law to Laissez-Faire and trying to maximise GDP at the expense of things like standard of living and unrest

"One steppe horseman going forward in time, and another going backwards" - reminds me of the structure of 'Proto-Indo-European Use of Weapons.'
