Savoury Vapes Rising: Community Justice is Served (A Trashfuture New Years)
It’s the free one!
Riley, Milo, and Alice ring in the new year by looking at the Economist’s rosy predictions in an alternate universe where Britain magically becomes fine due to the power of positive thinking and sharp dressing. We also look at some developments in Scotland, and Labour’s plan to give every homeowner control of Trident to deal with the rampant issue of young people loitering. Finally, we round off by looking at a new Yacht Neom DLC.

The Corbuss-ier joke fucking KILLED MEEEEEEE
It just occurred to me... isn't MBS one of the guys who backed Elon buying twitter? Isn't Neom advertising on twitter like the FBI having to rent space in the world trade center as the buyer of last resort?
Very weirdly, exactly two days before I listened to this, I was waiting for the bus on Via Petroselli in Rome and asked my wife about what the fuck was that cliff thing over there all about. (She didn't know.)
Ok I will say that there is something genuinely appealing about the idea of being able to inflict horrific Iron Age punishments on people who watch TikToks on the metro at max volume with no headphones
The impersonations in this episode had me laughing so hard.
Buildings north of Watford Gap having a giant Keir Starmer in a flat cap but instead of a repeated "SI" as background it says "EY OOP"
i love your ongoing coverage of NEOM-- is qatar's petroleum industry themed waterpark on y'alls radar? youtube link is good for putting all of the information about this place in one spot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNywoVbAc0g
I will find a way to get my revenge for Alice and Milo bringing "Corbussy" into existence
Part of the "unpredictibility" stuff is that the variation in happenings is increasing, which people on the whole are more able to intuit than economists, who are very dedicated to the idea of return to the mean.
This joke goes out to anyone who has studied Islamic history in a Western university: Mu'tazila (in the Abbasid court philosophy sense) are like TERFs in that they're an unpopular minority position beloved by educated liberals.
