BEYOND THE RED ZONE: SELF CATFISHING WITH STEROIDS

Sunday May 25, 2025

Sunday May 25, 2025

Read Jason's article in Damage Magazine here: https://damagemag.com/
 
Steroid use is up, especially among young people seeking to display a particular physique onle. The Turin of the mae upon itself represents a radical form of alienation and one with some nasty side effect to boot.

EP. 746: WHAT THE TRUMP HOLLYWOOD TARIFFS COULD MEAN FOR THE DOMESTIC FILM INDUSTRY ft. RALPH LEONARD

Saturday May 24, 2025

Saturday May 24, 2025

 
With the financial failure of the streaming industry, to cut costs, many movies and television shows are shot outside of the U.S. for a fraction of the cost (and less work restrictions). While this was common for lower budget productions bigger budget films are being made in Canada, Mexico, Europe--is this attempt to "Make Film Great Again" backfire on "the Donald"?
Trump has replaced his famous "you're fired" with, simply--tariff. This may be the next big fopa in performance as CEO of the world.

EP. 745: WHAT IS TECHONOPOPULISM ft. ALEX HOCHULI

Friday May 23, 2025

Friday May 23, 2025

 
For more than a decade, we have been told that insurgent populists are challenging a complacent post-political technocratic establishment. Combatants on both sides testify to this polarization. Poland’s Donald Tusk, former President of the European Council and the country’s current prime minister, stated back in 2017 that “we must challenge the populists”—and he did so, defeating the right-wing Law and Justice Party in 2023. French President Emmanuel Macron warned last year that “populists” risk undermining the European bloc from within. On the other side, Britain’s Nigel Farage declared the same year that “nation-state democracy” was “making a comeback against the globalists.” More recently, Italy’s Giorgia Meloni railed against “the global leftist liberal network” created in the 1990s by Tony Blair and Bill Clinton.

EP. 744: HOW TO REBUILD LOS ANGELES IN SINGAPORE'S IMAGE ft. NATASHA HAKIMI ZAPATA

Months after the fires, Los Angeles is beginning to rebuild, but current proposals don’t address the city’s long-standing housing issues. LA should emulate Singapore, which took a devastating fire as a cue to revolutionize its housing market.

EP. 743: REBEL QUEEN: THE MAKING OF A GRANDMASTER ft. SUSAN POLGER

Monday May 19, 2025

Monday May 19, 2025

 
Born to a poor Jewish family in Cold War Budapest, Polgar would emerge as the one of the greatest female chess players the world has ever seen. While still a teenager, she became the first woman to qualify for the men’s World Chess Championship cycle. She went on to become the highest rated female chess player on the planet and, at age 21, the first woman to earn the men’s Grandmaster title—chess’ highest designation. But to get there, she had to endure sexism, anti-Semitism, state-sponsored intimidation, and even violent assault. Throw in sabotage, betrayal, and powerful enemies, and you have a sense of what she went through while breaking chess’ glass ceiling.
 
Polgar eventually left Hungary and started a new life as an American citizen. After retiring as a player, she became the only female Division 1 college coach in the country and built two separate college chess dynasties from scratch—at Texas Tech in Lubbock (where she now resides) and Webster University in St. Louis—leading them to more national titles, world championships, major titles, and Olympiad medals, especially gold, than all other college chess teams in the United States combined!

BEYOND THE RED ZONE: SPORTS TRAVEL AND THE DEPORTATION INDUSTRY

Sunday May 18, 2025

Sunday May 18, 2025

 
Every week, thousands of migrants are shackled at the hands and feet and forced onto deportation flights to destinations across the globe. While the flights are contracted by U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), most are run by a shadowy network of private charter companies that operate with no effective oversight. In some cases, migrants are beaten or brutalized aboard the plane. In others, the planes transport them to situations where they are likely to experience harms as grave as torture, assault, or even enslavement. These practices violate U.S. law, international law, and written policies of the Department of Homeland Security, yet although abuses have been documented in human rights reports, described by journalists, discussed by legal scholars,aired in federal court, and reported through internal DHS mechanisms, neither DHS, nor the FAA, nor the U.S. Congress has taken any meaningful steps to stop abuses aboard deportation flights. Indeed, this remains a lucrative and largely secret business, in which contractors have billed U.S. taxpayers for over a million dollars per flight, received Covid-19 bailout funds despite operating in an industry which boomed during the pandemic, and may even receive payment whether they fly or not, under a guaranteed minimum payment scheme similar to that in place at many private detention centers.

EP. 742: KARL MARX IN AMERICA ft. ANDREW HARTMAN

Thursday May 15, 2025

Thursday May 15, 2025

 
In Karl Marx in America, historian Andrew Hartman argues that even though Karl Marx never visited America, the country has been infused, shaped, and transformed by him. Since the beginning of the Civil War, Marx has been a specter in the American machine. During the Gilded Age, socialists read Marx as an antidote to the unchecked power of corporations. In the Great Depression, communists turned to Marx in hopes of transcending the destructive capitalist economy. The young activists of the 1960s were inspired by Marx as they gathered to protest an overseas war. Marx’s influence today is evident, too, as Americans have become increasingly attuned to issues of inequality, labor, and power.
 
After decades of being pushed to the far-left corner of intellectual thought, Marx’s ideologies have crossed over into the mainstream and are more alive than ever. Working-class consciousness is on the rise, and, as Marx argued, the future of a capitalist society rests in the hands of the people who work at the point of production. A valuable resource for anyone interested in Marx’s influence on American political discourse, Karl Marx in America is a thought-provoking account of the past, present, and future of his philosophies in American society.
