HyperCube feat. Seamus Malekafzali
It's the free one!
Terror has a new dimension. Alice, Riley, and returning guest, journalist Seamus Malekafzali (@Seamus_Malek) talk about the Saudi pivot to the third dimension. Also, Labour’s fabulous plans to fix criminal justice “by just using people from the town,” and Matt Hancock’s foray into NFT’s only about one year too late.

inside me there are two cubes, the riyadh cube and the makkah cube
A magical city in the warp that sweats on you? They're building Prospiro
For the record Saudiphobia is a real thing and it's called "being Iranian"
Alice learn about the Gin slur challenge 2023
Saudi Arabia likely isn't going to survive the next 50 years anyway. They've made a lot of enemies, have no natural borders and rely entirely on destabilising their neighbours and allying with the USA to maintain sovereignty (and the USA is slowly withdrawing from the gulf now they have fracking), the Saudi military is only designed to protect the royal family from the people, they have the worst brain drain in the world since they've made it clear there's no place for educated people in their system, and Iran or Turkey will probably take their land the moment America seems to falter in their support for the Saudis (which will be sometime in the next 50 years).
I don't have notifications on but MBS pays well to make sure its in the first 20 tweets I see on a given day
Critical support for Riley in his proselytization of Cube (1997), which is GOOD AND COOL
Charisma and of course charisn'tma
Can we make Eric Adams the Mayor of Neom. Or any of these Saudi Megaprojects Please?

I watched Cube 2: Hypercube back in school where it was formatted for commercial breaks. That's 3 hours of my life I am never getting back and it has really put me off of the rest of the series.
SAS guys are like, "remember when Matt 'ancock was 'ard?"
Alice and Riley manifesting the Saudi-Iranian Pact national focus alt-history path. It's gonna happen now, I hope you're both happy.
extremely funny to announce a policy of: “we will develop a trauma-informed approach to policing young people” along side a policy of: “we will keep doing trauma to them”
They just misspelled " inflinge" as "inform". Easy mistake to make
Should have been CUB3D
Matt Hancock definately plays Tau : I welcome the Gue'la but I encourage them to go further. Also, i will ban the unsavoury Vehicles, only savoury mechs will be available for the greater good. And somehow he would piss of the eherials and be exiled.... Wait, he is commander Farsight?
As someone who is also heavily Cube pilled, Riley should know we don't acknowledge Hypercube, because it is very, very stupid 😂
Love me some Dr. McKay to start of Trashfuture with
I'm 3.5 miles from work and If I had to swim there I'd quit.
Matt Hancock update. Neom update. That's dat good shit.
Torys to introduce community chore wheels in 2027
can't do a 9/11 if the towers are inside the cube
Whilst listening to this I just kept googling NEOM and clicking on the cosmetics website, and ignoring any Saudi ads coming up trying to distract me from cosmetics.
The top 3 Canadian movies are The Final Sacrifice, Les Boys III, and Canadian Bacon.
I’ve only watched Les Boys, I guess it’s time to track down the sequels.
The return of Neom and its other friendly Saudi megaprojects reminds me quite a bit of Future Cities, a national urban planning competition for 13 year olds in the US that produces about the same sort of ideas that MBS and McKinsey do
Matt. Hancock. NFT. Predictive coefficient of 1, Nate Silver could never
Ah, the Kamila Harris approach to reforming the youth.
Is it possible to visit the Kaaba in the 4th dimension?
