Years from now, I wonder how people will misremember these campus protests. They'll tell themselves they were on the right side of history, even has they tut-tutted the students for their actions. "Well, that's not the the way that I would go about changing things." I think we like the drape our world in nuance so we can pretend that we didn't know better, or the answer wasn't clear. But it's crystal. The world is complicated, yes. This is not. There were campus protests of Vietnam back in...

I'm on my way home from Japan. I thought a lot about Hiroshima and OJ Simpson. Here's a preview of an upcoming episode about how history is written in sand. This will be my first ever pay-walled episode. If you'd like to hear the whole thing, head on over to Patreon.

Isaac is joined by his dear friend, Maxwell Cody (@schizotopia/@neoyeoman) to talk about the merits of geoengineering. Is it techno-hubris that will destroy mankind? Or will we irreparably destroy earth's systems? Be sure to subscribe to Maxwell's Substack for some gorgeous insight.

Diddy, AKA P Diddy, AKA Puff Daddy, AKA Brother Love is in big trouble. There are 5 separate cases against the rap mogul. One of the allegations claims that if the victim did butt stuff with Diddy, then he could guarantee him a Grammy. It makes you wonder just how many celebrities have done sexual quid pro quos in exchange for their success. Isaac is joined by hip hop experts Nathan J. Robinson (@jesuslasupajew) and Manny Rangel who talk Diddy to him.

Finally--some bipartisan agreement in Congress. This month, our esteemed elected officials voted to "ban" the social media giant. But the ban would just force the private Chinese company that owns it to sell it to investors with ties to the Israeli government. Isaac is joined by James Rehwald and Sam Quick to talk about the state of social media, dopamine and deplatforming.

Isaac and Herman go off the rails and talk about fear of flying, Alexei Navalny, fidget spinners, near death experiences, Jacob's Ladder and our mothers.

Isaac talks media layoffs and the death of the Vice with Paul Blest and David Roth. Private equity is sucking the life out of journalism. Most modern journalists have been laid off multiple times by different publications. We ask how these investment bankers sleep at night, how we got here and what we can do to save journalism. You can do your part by supporting A More Perfect Union and Defector. You can also still by my hats. Music production consultant: Nina Clark

Isaac is joined by Dorian (@dankdeleuze) and Mike (@turnleftist) to talk about the politics of sacrifice.

Isaac tempts fate by comparing Rachel Dolezal to Jake Sully from the movie Avatar. Ja, AKA @lexaprotagonist , keeps Isaac's white boy antics in check on this very special episode where we decide if Rachel Dolezal is as bad as the media made her out to be for claiming black identity.

American paranoia is at an all time high. Not even our holiest day, the Super Bowl, is free from the fear. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are in cahoots with the Pentagon to rig the sacred game and assure Joe Biden electoral victory. It's a PSYOP! Why is this word everywhere? Is everything a psyop? Is the psyop a psyop? Isaac is joined by @dankdeleuze and BWAP (Beyond Woke and Problematic) to talk about the proliferating paranoia.

Isaac and Daniel Boguslaw discuss the turmoil at the New York Times over the Hamas sexual violence story that turns out to be wholly fabricated Israeli propaganda. Is there any hope for the fourth estate? Or is there only budget for cowardly journalists happy to do the bidding of the state in exchange for shiny statues? Read Daniel's great work here. And fund my journalism here.

Isaac gets serious and talks about God.

Are we doing free labor for corporations by sharing jokes? Or is the internet still an untamed beast that hipster doofus ad execs pretend to understand? Speaking of advertisements, buy the...
