Battle for LA 07/01/2025

Battle for LA Bart, Norma and Voretaq discuss rice, rich people wedding problems, farming, and streaming show schedules. General discussion. It's somewhat quiet compared to previous episodes, but still some WTF-ery from people that hate poor people because they're poor. /episode/index/show/geekingafterdark/id/37241530

So Much Local Education Stuff 06/24/2025

So Much Local Education Stuff Bart, Norma and Voretaq discuss mostly school-related issues, but there are a couple of news items.

Oh, and Spaceballs 2 is on the roster for upcoming movie projects! /episode/index/show/geekingafterdark/id/37136080

Parade Day Can't Beat Protest Day 06/17/2025

Parade Day Can't Beat Protest Day This one was pretty much in limited topic, moreso than usual. We focused on educational shortcomings and protest. Because that's the highlight of the weekend. Idiots, and people protesting idiots. I'm betting Trump is going to be bigly mad that his big boy birthday parade was a giant f@&king flop, and we're going to feel the brunt of his tantrum... /episode/index/show/geekingafterdark/id/37044095

Elon's K-Hole Adventures 06/03/2025

Elon's K-Hole Adventures Bart and Norma discuss pennies finally going away, people who are friendly to a fault, and Elon should not be allowed to give presentations in addition to not being interviewed. He's an idiot that spent his life failing upwards. I will choose that hill to die on...Musk is super wealthy despite his lack of intelligence. He's a white-supremacist man-child in my opinion and have yet to see any indication of his brilliance. /episode/index/show/geekingafterdark/id/36838485

Conservatives: "Let's Deport Cancer Kids" 05/06/2025

Conservatives: "Let's Deport Cancer Kids" Bart and Norma discuss pay for sportsball players vs. actual people doing work for society as a whole, Thunderbolts is released, remember Mike Lindell? He's still apparently an idiot, this time in legal circles. Well, again in legal circles. Republicans refuse to agree that it's bad to deport American children with cancer. Trump wants to be Pope. We now all live in an Onion article. /episode/index/show/geekingafterdark/id/36458885

Arkansas Told "No" 04/29/2025

Arkansas Told "No" Bart, Norma and Voretaq discuss JD Vance's alleged murder spree, coal isn't "clean", language models lie because artificial intelligences aren't, and life brings giggles when storms get a "red state" to beg for money they condemn others for trying to get...and are finally told "no". /episode/index/show/geekingafterdark/id/36360945

Taking Bets on a Musk Interview 03/04/2025

Sailing the Gulf of Stupid 02/11/2025

The Votes Are In And We're Doomed 11/19/2024

The Votes Are In And We're Doomed Bart and Norma spend a lot of time wishing we weren't in this country now that it's marching down a path to fascism.

Election Day Horrors 11/05/2024

Election Day Horrors Bart, Norma and Voretaq discuss computing and...much of it is the election. Trump. How is Trump still a candidate? Why?
