The Emperor’s New Episteme feat. Jay

Jay said that a Hong Kong VC firm owns a chunk of the pub trade. The overwhelming irony of 21st century Chinese money squeezing profits out of everyone involved in the British alcohol addiction trade - it’s the British Century of Humiliation too, not just the ACOH.

Glad to hear Unite are better in other parts of the country but, when we organised our London hospitality venue and asked for support, they were nowhere to be found. Got a lot of support from grassroots unions like UVW (previously interviewed on the show I believe) and IWGB though.

The AI bubble is bigger than everyone thinks. It is turtles all the way down, and tech ghouls are terrified.

"Vice Signalling" is my new favourite Novermberism.

Milo mentioned.

lmao the outro bit is a perfectly executed boomerang, completely forgot the set up at the beginning of the episode and was bowled over laughing when it hit

Inadvertently iconic.

Was not prepared for the red-shirted Oakleys guy dubbed over the outro music

It rules that you guys are getting Australian weather now very normal, it sucks when you don't have enough winter days to feel shit on.

War Forever 🫡

Calling Riley Dicky Greenleaf is such a devastating burn

All the talk about SI threw me for a minute, because working in an ER means that to me SI is suicidal ideation

SHOUT OUT TO TAHDIG

crying in a medium weight jacket IS embarrassing I never considered this

I know somebody who's trying to get a visa so she can quit her job as a engineer designing her nation's renewable energy build-out that has bought her a house & a car, so she can go live with her UK boyfriend & live comfortably as a stay-at-home-mom off of the huge piles of money he has to be making in the hospitality industry on a 0-hour contract & I've been basically doing the dad screaming to his daughter from inside the blackhole at the end of Interstellar trying to stop her, I'm going to clockwork orange her with this episode

The breathing/screaming at the end reminded me of Ballmer Developer's Remix. Except sad/angry rather than manic.

Where do I find the extended cut where Hussein comments on the Air Force Order of the Sword?

Structuralist vs Post Structuralists … in 1996 we found hidden notes of Saussure from the 1890s (he died in 1913) in his vacation greenhouse where he grew his own oranges in switzerland. Thus these manuscripts are called The Orangery Manuscripts And were published later. The largest of text size is the "De l'essence double du langage" ("On the Dual Essence of Language") … and pretty much Saussure anticipates the post structuralists and he himself is a post structuralists. But since the famous 1916 text that created structuralism is assembled 3 years after Saussure death by friends who did not even attend the 1912 and 1913 lectures. Well … ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

To me it is obvious: in his mind artificial = artificial sweetener as in Diet Coke. Which everyone knows is not as good as sugar. It's a very The Apprentice thing to rebrand something that's not selling. He's been doing a low energy sort of greatest hits montage where he's trying all the levers that worked before to no effect

Re: USAF furries, I know a guy who was a USAF firefighter who had a house with his wife in some flyover army town where an entire room was dedicated to their collection of dildos and body pillows.

Regarding Super Intelligence and Lake America: this shit is so literally Orwellian. Trump yells at reporters for not using his Newspeak. The economy has never been better. Etc... Everyone goes along with it because they don't want to lose access. The heliocopter rides for activists are getting closer. On a lighter note: Vermont is having perfectly crisp autumn weather and the foilage is popping. Strong winds uesterday knocked it down a bit vit still just lovely. Gonna be sweetly sad in my middle weight jacket for a bit today.

@Nate You're doing a good job and this episode including the interview was still interesting but here's some hopefully constructive criticism: As an interviewer, try to talk (significantly) less than the interviewee, you don't need to relate everything to your own experience. In general: Try not to rant, ask more questions and focus on facilitating conversation as a host.

5:45 - another way Donnie has imprinted on the world: "the Dondroe Doctrine"

The two strongest forces in the universe: spite and boredom. They beat gravity and electromagnetic forces by miles.

Y'all should see if you can talk to "the valley labor report" podcast about unionization in the us, they're based in the Tennessee Valley and pretty fun to listen to.

Great episode. Thanks for the interview with Jay

Me?

"Mr President! We cannot allow a fur-suit gap!"

I think Nova gives sad young aunt, sad older cousin vibes, more than dad vibes. (In the sense that sad young aunt and sad older cousin both give "fucks, but feels somehow spiritually depressed about it" vibes.) EDIT - Okay the phrase "Foucault and Trump would have a similar taste in men, but for different reasons" has done irreparable damage to the archive of Cultural Theory lectures stored in my memory.

This episode dragged out a lot of traumatic memories of a previous job and while I was in the fugue state of just thousand-yard staring at a wall I heard the phrase "Tactical Yiff" and I think you made my brain hard reset so thanks I guess.

Someone link the red Oakleys guy edited video with breathes/huffs only please

Gonna need a segment of UncFuture (feat. Auntie Nova) about where to yearn, what sad music to reminisce with, and how to get that autumn fit on

Happy to hear November again.
