All Emergency Services Suspended; Crime Still Illegal


It’s the free one!

The gang says goodbye to Matt Hancock MP, the fabulous app where we all met for the first time. Also, a real use for NFT's finally discovered. Mostly, though, we face up to a grim reality: the society of universal services that defined the postwar period has now fundamentally broken. Predictably, the worst people in the country are all scratching their heads and asking how it happened.

1. I hate to be positive Polly, especially, you know, *here*, but New Year's Resolutions work better than popular imagination has it. There's a well documented temporal significance effect that makes people feel more motivated and thus more likely to actually do something around significant dates. 2. I found Alice's switch from weary cynicism to Milo vein popping a bit disconcerting, as if the natural order of things was disturbed. All I could think of was the end of Animal Farm: The hogs outside the soundbooth looked from Milo to Alice, and from Alice to Milo and from Milo to Alice again; but already it was impossible to say which was which... Good start to the year though!

You could say things have spin so much out of control that they turned 1984 degrees

I'd like to thank Prime Minister Acaster for making me laugh so hard everyone in the gym turned around and looked at me like I was a madman.

Trashfuture can be risky in the gym. I had to stop during the Princess Diana/Akira riff a few months back for fear of dropping something on myself.

This episode covered all my Trashfuture emotion range. From Milo outrage at people being obtuse idiots to tech being trash and authoritarian with potential to massive surveillance to stupid silly jokes about The Urge. Very nice. I'm currently 80% happy and 12 % urging and 9% making these porcentages up

Does anyone have a good article or primer on how the US exports its inflation?

I think I'm going to make Milo's totally losing it at around the 55 minute mark my new ringtone.

Unsellable is a great name, just shy of running ads that say "do you need to offload your nfts for tax reasons, we here at ImAHugeStupidMoron.com can help"

Milo you must remember The Simpsons sketch for the police telephone triage system: https://youtu.be/T8OvUMaERj0 There is not a day goes by when something reminds me of this. "You have selected Regicide, if you know the name of the king or queen being murdered, press 1"

That news scrolling app already exists. I think it's called Morning Brew. I've seen loads of YouTubers doing sponsors of it.

The "5 fundamental emotions" thing is actually pretty strongly debunked at this point, it couldn't be replicated on repeat testing

Listening to that line about having a heart attack and calling an ambulance as I sit in hospital with a potential heart attack fucking sent me

Having my legion serf affix oath of moment parchments to my Mark V "Heresy" power armour that say "go to the gym".

In the grim dark future, there's only gains. Or the Gym-quisition will ask about those xeno looking legs. Bad gym attendance or foul chaos? Perhaps it's doping and thus heresy. Uhmmmm

And with the falling of the Matt Hancock MP app, so begins the true period of mourning
