Super Size Me II: Malcom Kyeyune on The Burger Theory of History, Revisited (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Super-Size Me II. 140 episodes ago, Malcolm Kyeyune launched a piece of verbal artillery into the mess hall of online discourse. The Burger Theory of History. It quickly became one of our most quoted episodes. The Burger Theory is the idea that, since the pandemic of 2020, the rising costs of basic necessities is feeding a malaise that is eating into our society. The sense not that we are in yet another cost of living crisis. But that the system itself is failing. Much like it did in late-80s Ru

September is here. As the calendar page tugs away, the madness of the dog days of summer blows away. The madness of the autumn is upon us.

The Pod To End All Pods: Part 3 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Coming up this week, last week, and the week before… A massive multi-part episode. The world is shifting in unpredictable ways. The old order is with the death doula right now. The new one has yet to go through lamaze class. The only thing that can save us is podcasting. More of it. Longer. Harder. More esoteric. More riffs on the Thirty Years War. Bigger tangents into the exact mechanics of USAF recruitment in Tallahassee. As our old sense-making apparatus breaks down, as the world on which uni
