just went ahead and unlocked it for you

Somehow in his efforts to annoy Canadians, Trump has strayed into denouncing Canada's historic crimes? We're also surprised! www.patreon.com/trashfuture/...

Sometimes exporting the "we can do anything we want" model from impossibly overvalued tech companies doesn't work when your AI video avatar company turns out to be the most able-to-be-sued enterprise in human history www.patreon.com/trashfuture/...

"I've had many experiences in my life" - @hkesvani.bsky.social, setting up an anecdote

Very happy to join the @trashfuture.bsky.social team for this episode on Manchester City and Abu Dhabi

This was an incredible episode that spoke on the highly tangible threat that now comes with the 114 charges toward Man City and the independence of the PL + how the UK has been bought out by foreign entities because of lack of investment by their own state.

Hussein's short-lived foray into vox pop journalism ended when he realized he was just in the endless queue for one specific Blank Street Coffee in Holborn. We've decided that this still says a lot about UK politics somehow. www.patreon.com/trashfuture/...

We had a chance to speak with @gregk.co.uk of Blood Work about recent... legal happenings in the UK. Where we're not allowed to say things in specific terms. But you'll get the drift. www.patreon.com/trashfuture/...

Legal AI tech is a booming industry and apparently the surest way to market it is to convince lawyers that they will get to be the cool guy in “Suits." We're not making this up. www.patreon.com/trashfuture/...

Nate and Hussein are joined by Nathan Akehurst for a cursed Anglovibes special to discuss the Piddington secession movement, gammon omakase and, for a jarring shift in tone, stories from the frontlines of Europe's war on migration. www.patreon.com/trashfuture/...

Will Gluck has managed to make a movie that pleases no one but, despite its outward appearances, he's also made a film about how it’s better to wait for marriage and enjoy a quirky existence under…biofascism? We’re not exaggerating. www.patreon.com/trashfuture/...

We've brought on friend of the show @ugarles.bsky.social to discuss Trump’s single-minded obsession with his ballroom and its...unusual dimensions. www.patreon.com/trashfuture/...

This was a really good time. I've been wanting to sit with the @trashfuture.bsky.social team for a while. I think there are at least three - and maybe four - terrible Trump impressions in this.

Cory came and hung out with us again, this time specifically about two things: 1. Rebutting Andreesen Horowitz's Culture columnist's stupid article about why "you love enshittified platforms actually" 2. Reframing recent mystical discussions about AI that it's all EXPLAINABLE

Why did a family of restaurateurs from the Reading area suddenly become critical to every phone sold in the UK? You might assume it's low-stakes corruption, but we have a different theory… www.patreon.com/trashfuture/...

We all have our foibles but, all of that aside, no one can accuse us of lacking in Kirkmas cheer. We keep it in our hearts even if we can't quite remember what day it is. www.patreon.com/trashfuture/...

We brought on Bloomberg's @zekefaux.bsky.social to discuss stablecoins, but before we got to that we had to let Riley describe how chicken nuggets are basically MDMA for toddlers

We Can Remember It For You Retail

We brought on friend of the show @molly.wiki to discuss the predictable demise of "Grokipedia," but we simply had to talk about the pervert glasses too www.patreon.com/trashfuture/...

In our recent episode with Charlotte and Libby from @whatsallthispod.bsky.social, we discussed a novel legal defense known as "if a mirror falls on you and hits you in the head, it means the fraud you committed doesn't count" www.patreon.com/trashfuture/...

It turns out that Mark Zuckerberg has an escape hatch at Facebook headquarters that he can jump down in the event of anyone who doesn't get paid by Facebook making it into his office. These are the slings and arrows endured for simply trying to make the world worse: www.patreon.com/trashfuture/...

Lake Ontarigo to the Polls

Among the many questions raised, a principal one is: why does Andy Burnham have an IMDb page? Surely this is against common decency. We asked Libby and Charlotte from @whatsallthispod.bsky.social to help us understand. www.patreon.com/trashfuture/...

Would suck if he got stuck in the chute and Elon promised he’d figure out a way to get him out

If you want to hear more from Donald about Palantir then this @trashfuture.bsky.social episode is a good grounding on the problems around Palantir - turns out, their software is a bit rubbish. www.podbean.com/ep/pb-cxkbs-...

They're saying the thing that Britain needs right now, more than anything material, is a kind of spiritual salve. We need British Aaron Sorkin. We need the healing power of the West Wing (British). www.patreon.com/trashfuture/...

Working on a new thing for the pod and could use your help. Please tell me about the mundane experiences that have made your life/the life of your community worse as a result of tech companies disrupting the process. Or have made your lives weirder or stranger (UK preferable but not limited)
