Every time I don’t think Auspol can get any stupider, I get proven wrong. A national conversation over whether the PM should apologise for wearing a t-shirt featuring a very popular band that’s been around for decades because of its name, is stupid, stupid, even for us

Silence is consent.

This is where I've been with The Faraway Tree film since 2017; I like what I hear, even with Andrew Garfield and Claire Foy, the cast isn't a big name fest, they have one of the co-writers of Paddington 2 and Wonka, the post-COVID angle sounds intruiging... I want the trailer before getting excited.

Your ability to eat should not depend on your productivity Your ability to get healthcare should not depend on your productivity Your ability to get housing should not depend on your productivity Saying “be more productive!” To those who are struggling devalues human life. It aids fascism.

The government shutdown has put SNAP benefits at risk for millions of Americans. Travis Peters, an urban farmer in Detroit, is giving out free produce tomorrow 'If it's getting tight, my food is free. Don’t even sweat that'

Please contact your senators about KOSA. This bill has amassed a lot of cosponsors. We can beat this, but we need people to call, email and send letters en mass. Please try to contact your reps as often as you are able to and encourage people you know to join you!

It's National Black Cat Day, so please enjoy this chaotic little butthead

It's amazing that "Nazi tattoo" and "former mercenary" and "rich parent who propped up his company" and "DNC connections" aren't deal-breakers for you dipshits, but here we are.

“Tell your children who the cowards were.”

impossible to overstate the degree to which we are being governed by people whose formative politics is gamergate, but DHS posting Halo memes to recruit for ICE is pretty close.

Don’t they already have this in the Tri-State area?

It's time for the Halloween edition of Radio Dead Air! Music! Requests! Stupid news! The worst of the year's terrible sexy Halloween costumes! FULL SIZE CANDY BARS! live.radiodeadair.com

"Oh, boy, so glad I scheduled the Longbox to release at 7 a few hours ago! Definitely scheduled it and didn't forget to do that!" Anyway, NEW LONGBOX! youtu.be/Zobdi3Pp0Xo

James Carville won a single presidential election before I was old enough to vote and I'm almost 50 Google didn't exist, social media doesn't exist, gay marriage was illegal. His understanding of the nation and the electorate are grossly out of date. Stop listening to this man!

In one breath conservatives will say that they we can't support immigration because "we need to take care of our own" and then in the next breath will underfund healthcare and let millions of people starve. It literally is the meme.

Echoing Janus: DON'T SIT THIS ONE OUT, DON'T ASSUME ZOHRAN'S GOT IT IN THE BAG, GO OUT AND VOTE AND GET YOUR STICKER

California: If you haven't turned in your ballot yet, VOTE YES on 50! Thank you for your time.

I'm sure the "War on Christmas" lot will have SOOOOO much to say about that! SARCASM CLARIFICATION: (see GIF below)

Obviously Dan Castellaneta is a wonderful singer but can we appreciate how good he sound doing an Irish brogue AS HOMER like I know dude's been doing this for nigh on 40 years now but that's some impeccable voice acting

Castellaneta singing is always a treat

It's funny to think Kang and Kodos has more going on in Fortnite than this year's Treehouse of Horror

Next week's Simpsons episode will be the final episode that Al Jean showrun after 24 years....at least for now. Most likely he is focusing on the second movie through another reason could be likely

Oh, yeah, forgot to mention it because I was doing a bunch of streams and Longbox yesterday, but yesterday was the SEVENTEENTH BIRTHDAY OF AT4W! It's still surreal to think I've been doing this show for that long and you guys are still watching. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I think basically every piece of art and pop culture has legitimate criticism to be made about it. The problem is that there is so much bad faith criticism pushed by grifters, clout chasers, and assholes who get performatively mad at anything new and popular that it drowns out actual criticism.

"Dude has a Nazi tattoo." "Well, I'd still consider voting for him." "Woman is in her 70s." "NO FUCKING WAY!!!"

I 100% guarantee that if Disney HAD made that Ben Solo movie, Star Wars "fans" would hate it. Because they hate EVERY Star Wars product Disney makes. They only THINK they like this idea because it's unmade. It's the fandom equivalent of being a "pro-lifer" who values fetuses more than actual kids.

Men will do anything but get therapy.

And yet, he can afford to tear down part of the White House. Fuck this shit. Fuck him.

It is us against the rich and powerful. Vote accordingly

An irritating trend in 90s political shows is to shy away from politics becoming personal: we’re being told we’ll be bad at politics if it’s personal. I dunno, I think politics has always been personal; anyone suggesting otherwise is simply insulated from the consequences of politics in general.

That scene in Superman where Lex has the monkeys angrily posting on social media to turn people against Superman is incredibly accurate. So much of social media is being manipulated by billionaires, bots, and algorithms to push culture war BS and right-wing propaganda.

Someone who willingly uses chatbots and/or generative AI is a person I actively want to avoid because it tells me that person lacks critical thinking skills and creativity, wants instant gratification, and doesn't care about the harm it causes. It's a red flag.

The President isn’t describing an IQ test. He’s most likely describing a dementia screening and is describing it as “very hard.”

The website is lying, but in more ways than one. 51 Republican senators could suspend the filibuster and pass the budget they themselves drafted. They don't need Democratic votes. If they truly felt it was an emergency, they could act like it. They're doing this to us on purpose.

Really good video, also I was reminded of this midway throught.

They showed me little birdy, and asked you are you little birdy's mother, and I would say you are not my mother, I said not mother to the dog, and to the cow, and to the boat, and the steam shovel, and I would say you are not my mother, and I got a 90%. They say they've never seen it before, 90%.

Not Elon Musk threatening me with a good time…

Saw a TikTok today of a woman who went to the doctor for a biopsy, and when the results came back, confidently announced that she didn't believe the results, because she had described her condition to ChatGPT, and it had a different opinion. Yeeeah. The hallucination machine is gonna kill people.

The universe is not going to make sense and everything does not happen for a linear reason. Sometimes rich assholes give their children all their money when they die and they lurch through life with unearned confidence. They don't *do* consequences. They think they are the best people.

Stop with conspiracy brain. Stop with trying to decipher a real, sensible reason why the US government is full of chaotic imbeciles. They are chaotic imbeciles. They are failsons and trust fund fuckups and Wormtongues. They are capitalist, zero-sum brained. They think this is going great.

None of the fuckups, foibles, mis-steps or boneheaded policies are actually a secret plot to destroy the United States so (whatever) can take over. If they wanted to do that, they'd just fucking do it. It's not like anyone's rushing to stop them. Maybe just accept that they're evil *and* stupid.

Oh and I don’t have the screenshot on my phone but remember that Reddit’s AI summary has also claimed in the past that my podcast was cancelled… because of controversy with cohost Neil Gaiman… I’d say you can’t make this shit up, but obviously you can, and if you’re an LLM it’s totally ok.

Trying to imagine someone in Flagstaff giving even the smallest fuck about this old man yelling at a cloud, and nah bro.

Halloween is approaching and there's some dread in the static! youtube.com/live/1qtjKzH...

Today's Longbox is the Sonic Halloween Special! ...more like Knuckles' Chaotix Halloween Special, but still... youtu.be/bJYq3u1wtrg

If you are white, not racist, not a supporter of ethnic cleansing, but are struggling to pay bills, or don't know how you will afford food next month... First of all, I am genuinely sorry for the stress you are dealing with. Truly. Second, this stress was placed on you intentionally. By racists.

CU Boulder Turning Point USA Secretary Nathan Ellis in his own words: "I'm actually racist, I'm just straight up racist."

I wish they said explicitly that there's $5 billion in emergency reserves they're refusing to use instead they're happy to let people - mostly children, the disabled, and elderly, starve.

What in the actual fuck? Googles AI basically hallucinated that I somehow accused my podcast host & close friend of toxic behavior & harassment - killing her channel. Keep in my, Vera and I host a podcast together regularly and are good friends and her channel is amazing. This is absolutely fucked.

I don't have a single positive thing to say about Reagan, but the GQP has been using his imaginary ghost as a weaponized patriotism mascot for decades so I'd say turnabout is fair play here.
