It's MackleMORE, not Mackle less (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Alex rants about Ed Sheeran's spine issues (he doesn't have one), art as a form of political expression, the consequences of billionaires controlling the flow of free speech, and how AI is allegedly going to destroy us all.
TSN: Brand New Day (Alex Reviews Spider-Man) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Alex returns after some more time off to talk about where he's been (mostly watching Spider-Man). After a brief rant about politics, Alex talks mostly, about Spider-Man. Sorry to the political listeners out there, but we're doing Spider-Man this week.
Do You Even Own Your Stuff Anymore? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Alex rants about digital privacy - specifically how an ongoing case violating a man's rights blatantly in an airport - sets a precedent that the Trump Administration - or US Government no matter what color the tie - can and will do whatever they want to you, as long as corporate entities continue to foot all of the bills.
Flock Cameras and the Automated Omnipticon (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Alex rants about the US Government allegedly using AI image generation to keep more than just Mitch McConnell's legacy alive, obvious senate nepotism, Flock Cameras and the state of the surveillance state, and apologizes for the previous episode. Rated E for everyone (although the language may not be suitable for the puritans that live amongst us).

Read excerpt
Father time catches up with all of us, even if you're a senator. Alex returns to give a disorganized rant about the state of the world, the recent passing of Senator Graham, and the implications of… something.
