The first episode is free to anyone subscribed to the patreon (even if you subscribe to the free tier), and the following episodes will be behind the paywall. There should be ten in all and we're looking at getting a few guests to join the discussion.

What did we miss or get wrong in our discussion? What films or books or ideas did you think of? At the start of each episode we want to share and discuss what you thought of the last section, which will make the following section all the more enlightening for us as we go through it.

We're trying something new on the patreon - a book club. Together we're reading Carol J Clover's 'Men, Women, and Chain Saws' (narrated by @idrafallow.bsky.social) and together Idra Fallow and Barto will discuss it, but here's the rub we want to know what you got out of the text.

Bonus: Men, Women, and Chain Saws (1992) - Introduction It is uncommon for a work of critical theory to worm its way into the general zeitgeist but, against all odds, Carol J Clover's book did and now we all know who the Final Girl is. Available for free on patreon.com/nogodspod

okay look, I know SUVs are dangerous like that, but you don't have to advertise it

Good lord. This doesn't even include crypto grey market gambling or predictions markets

same

It sounds absurd but they just give anyone a mini excavator.

This is taking longer to get out than expected but the new editing bay is extremely cool. - ADMIN

Wait found it

rejecting New Atheism (Dawkins etc) and embracing Old Atheism (a nameless ape in a forest who believes only in the power of earth and stone)

From 1925: a prediction that, as more people choose to drive to the countryside, cars will end up destroying the very beauty that people go to see.

Consumers demand an energy drink brand that hates America

It is infuriating how often accessibility gets used to concern troll in defense of objectively destructive actions. LLMs are not accessibility tools. No one at Anthropic or OpenAI cares about disabled people. In fact, they intentionally ignore the harm their products do to neurodiverse people.

This has been a problem I've been aware of forever but I have got to stop starting posts with "I think." Of course it's what I think. It's my post.

I think there is hardly any daylight between this and taking like, the New York Times Editorial Board's endorsement into consideration

i think all punks past and present need to band together to mass produce and wear those "follow your leader" t-shirts with hitler shooting himself in the head. we need everyone who ever did diy screenprinting to pick the squeegee back up

i know i’m not supposed to hope everything collapses.

"Every drive is an attempt to go beyond the pleasure principle, to the realm of excess jouissance where enjoyment is experienced as suffering."

This isn’t far off from Haymarket Martyrs level of state cruelty

Every time I start hiccuping my wife says "do you still have your antipsychotics?" which is a reference to the most annoying four days of my life

Appreciating that when I slipped, and told my dad I had a podcast, his excitement about it lasted only the length of the lunch we had and he never got to hear all the jokes I make about him.

I've said it before and I'll say it again!

We're starting a new series for patrons, but the first episode will be free for anyone subscribed, even at the $0 tier. It should be up in a few days. There's already been a lot of hours spent on making this something special so we hope you all enjoy. Patreon.com/NoGodsPod

Just did the first of many recordings from an off grid tent, powered by solar, surrounded by lots of birds that the mics surely picked up.

Arms embargo or stfu

People present videos of attacks on Moscow like 🤩 🤩 🤩, not like it's a city 13 million people and I think that's kind of callous

EXCUSE ME

I don't know why it never occurred to me to look into this but it appears Freud went to the movies twice, ever. He thought psychoanalysis couldn't have a relationship with film because analysis is about transforming images into words and film is transforming words into images.

Video shared to social media by rapid response shows ICE agents abducting a man this A.M. from inside the Bridgeview Courthouse. Outside, Cook County Sheriff’s deputy Gigliotti #19013 daps it up with one of the agents. Asked about IL law preventing arrests at courthouses, deputy Glover shrugs.

I pulled a got dang dump truck out of the mud

Ah, to be hanging out with David Huggins and chatting about his sexual encounters with aliens...

The new Chat Pile rips

I was literally tilling a field and suddenly got the joke in "Amish Paradise" where he says "I’m the pious guy the little omelets wanna be like / On my knees day and night scoring points for the afterlife" It's not "omletes." It's "Amlettes," little Amish kids

“yeah i can tell it was AI generated. how? just vibes, yeah. it has that certain gen-AI sais quoi”

Wow.. nerves of steel

Police well to the left of the political media establishment here

The global far right led by highly online white nationalists like Elon Musk has had its Kristallnacht moment, producing images that shock the conscience. How will the world respond?

This is the first time in years that I didn't edit the episode so I'm so so so excited for listen to it.

Episode 113: Predators (2010) This episode on the third entry in the standalone Predator franchise discusses existentialism vs utilitarianism, ethical foundations of an alien species that hunts for sport, Robert Rodriguez's various sins, and which billionaires we'd like to see in the thunderdome.

Pretty remarkable opening paragraph to a piece about convenience stores

I wrote about shutting down Delaney Hall (with reference to the forthcoming book HOW TO CLOSE A CAMP)

"sticking a woman on a pedestal, or the reverse, sticking her beneath notice; or making a 'model' housewife of her, or a 'model' mother, or a 'model' help-meet. All mere devices for avoiding any contact with her. A woman is not a 'model' anything. She is not even a distinct & definite personality...

I think divorce is about the most beautiful thing in the world but I also think it's extremely funny that the recommended app on the Play Store when you download Starlink is a co-parenting app
