Amazon Presents: SlurChat (App Edition) feat. Ken Klippenstein
Ken Klippenstein joins the gang to discuss the special Amazon app that doesn’t let you say “bathroom” or “Union” or “prison” that the company later claimed was some kind of April fools joke (?). But first, we look at the new energy “strategy” and a collective translatlantic failure to address the crises of our day. Also Riley saw another car.

they don't let you say "union", but "un%69on" seems to be nice
It's telling how right wing politics is when the Tories used the same "Build Back Better" mantra that the Democrats did.
Not sure how it works in the UK, but in the US the people who make things for nuclear power plants are quite specialized and highly regulated with long lead times before COVID, and US power companies have been trying to get an SMR design through the NRC for 2 decades now unsuccessfully. So I look forward to finding out matt hancocks pub landlord is an N-stamp welder and all of the plants popping like popcorn in 5-10 years.
One of the things I’ve noticed is that Alice’s audio is very slightly out of sync with the rest of the group so she seems slightly psychic. Unless she is slightly psychic, then the recording is perfect
i didn't notice this on the edit but i see what you mean--thanks for letting me know. i'm going to fix it and re-upload
Ah yes, the fascist Liberal Democratic Party of Russia, not to be confused with the fascist Liberal Democratic Party of Japan.
Can't wait for you guys to release the TF brand tungsten orb.
