Roundup Minisode: Trump, The Tick-Tock of Tech, and Tools

Political Fun Time Happy Hour Deluxe

Andi (@Pamphleteer), Ty and Brent jump on to quickly run down a few stories. No one says the "G Word" so we managed to keep it under an hour, for once.

A Whole City of Cops AND Financial Dominos

Political Fun Time Happy Hour Deluxe

Andi (@Pamphlet_tyr) and Ty finally talk through Cop City in Atlanta and the future it portends, then cackle as tech bros play Jenga with the economy. Show Twitter: @pfthhd

Brandon, Barricadia, and Bros, Bro.

Andi and Ty catch up, hit a little bit of the electoral circus, interrogate the state mechanisms of exclusion and extraction (and their ultimate limits), then dare to ask the question: “Dudes, seriously?”

Pro Se Protocols and Pyratical Progressivism

Political Fun Time Happy Hour Deluxe

Are robo-lawyers even more soulless than the regular kind? Are there algorithmic upsides? What about pyrates? Ruthless, uncivilized brigands, or visionary forebearers of a democratic revolt against expanding state power? All this, a little too much imbibing, and more!

Republican Roundup, Coy George, and a little Lula Livre!

Political Fun Time Happy Hour Deluxe

It’s Andi (@pamphlet_tyr), Ty (@WhyThatTyGuy), and Brent (toocoolfortwitter) going back to our roots. We catch up on activities across the right, ranging from McCarthy’s historical inability to speak for the House to Brazilian January 6th (on January 8th). We bemoan how our heroes have fallen and try to trace the mysterious republican congressman from, well, who knows where. It’s loose, we have a generally good time, and of course, we get real sad about halfway through.

Racism as Religion & America as Britain's Greatest Sin (ft. @sophie_frm_mars)

Political Fun Time Happy Hour Deluxe

Brent, Andi (@pamphlet_tyr), and Ty (@WhyThatTyGuy) run through a terrifying article from @LCRWnews that ties all too well into the second half of our conversation with Sophie (@sophie_frm_mars), wherein we discuss why it’s all Britain’s fault, cowboy Christians, and sci-fi antidotes to fascism.Show Twitter: @pfthhd Show E-mail:

Puritans, Pyramids, and Patriots (Oh My!) (ft. @sophie_frm_mars)

Political Fun Time Happy Hour Deluxe

Ty and Andi (@pamphlet_tyr) are joined by @sophie_frm_mars for a wide ranging discussion about the religious right, the left’s relation to religion, the dangers of millenarianism, whether pre- or post-, and how to tell the future through racist archaeology. Too much good stuff for a single episode, so tune in next week for the shocking conclusion! Show Twitter: @pfthhd Show Email:

Freeze Peach & Other Delicacies

Political Fun Time Happy Hour Deluxe

In what may be a new record, Andi (@Pamphlet_tyr) gets to a Graeber reference in under 5 minutes, but we mostly start with Twitter/Elon, bemoan the wrongs done to our man Matt Binder, and then elegantly solve Karl Popper's dilemma of tolerance. Show Twitter (womp womp): @pfthhd

Pipeline Explosions (That We Totally Don't Endorse)

Political Fun Time Happy Hour Deluxe

The Gang (@pftthhd) is back, with Andi (@Pamphlet_Tyr), Brent, and Ty. It's a bit of MTG, a bit of Musk, then a deep dive into climate discussions centered on Andreas Malm's work (How to Blow Up a Pipeline and Fossil Capital), Naomi Klein's Shock Doctrine, and a bit of Oreskes/Conway's Merchants of Doubt as anchor points.

Political Fun Time 2.0: More Politics! More Fun! More Time! OR The Listener Loyalty Experience

Political Fun Time Happy Hour Deluxe

The old gang is back in action, as Andi, Brent, and Ty rejoin their forces to talk through the last year, or at least the last week, diving deep into the West/Jones/Pool/Fuentes arc, hashing out what we can glean from the acceleration of right wing violence and intimidation, and generally revisiting just how right we were.
