🚨 NEW SEMINAR ALERT 🚨 On 14/10 Steph Halmhofer (@cultarchaeo.bsky.social) will speak on 'Manufacturing History', examining the relationship between pseudoarchaeology, conspiracy, and the far-right and highlighting its contemporary relevance. Go to archaeologistsrfa.wordpress.com/events/ to register.

My author copy of the home of my recent chapter on far-right uses of pseudoarchaeology arrived today 🙌 Timely, given that a certain Netflix series with a season premiere date right around the corner makes an unfortunate appearance in here 👀 🏺

OK, and also, if ChatGPT could ACTUALLY do your job, I might agree. The things is, it can't, and the only people who think it can, are people who don't understand what you do and wouldn't be able to do it themselves if you put a gun to their heads and also think they know everything. So, Altman.

We have Jacob Gregor with us to talk about his new movie END OF HISTORY, a story about the loneliest man in America absolutely boiling his brain with right wing, manosphere, productivity content. Watch/listen links ⬇️

p.p.s. It is important to connect Hegseth et al's effort to rewrite history to erase the genocide of Native Americans to the Trump Administration's recent attack on the Smithsonian, including the National Museum of the American Indian nativenewsonline.net/currents/nat...

Fortunately, history does not work as Hegseth seems to believe. It is never "settled" and the government cannot (at least for now!) impose its interpretation of events on the rest of us--especially an interpretation so at odds with the historical record. 6/

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

5. It's 5. The number they're citing, that's a rise, is 5. www.csis.org/analysis/lef...

An assassin writes Bella Ciao in the same breath as a Notices Your Bulge meme on his bullets. One of the government responses is a practicing Hindu asserting that the fundamentalist Christian victim will join him in a Norse pagan afterlife. Welcome to the epistemic collapse.

The one man who was willing to have an honest debate

This ep was part of a group of episodes where we dove into the background and origin story of a person or people who've had an outsized impact on shaping the way many people worldwide see themselves and their place in the world.

I have a chapter in a book @kishonna.bsky.social blurbed and I'm... fanboying pretty damn hard.

We get into the QAnon prophecy possibly fulfilled by Trump federalizing the Metro police in D.C. It gets really wild, really fast and ends up reaching to the City of London and Vatican City.

We catch up on ChatGPT 5, the AI hype machine, and AI soulmates aka the Wireborn Listen everywhere pod.link/1593022493/e... Join on Patreon www.patreon.com/posts/episod...

Coming October 21st... "Life After Cars: Freeing Ourselves from the Tyranny of the Automobile." A new book about how cars ruin everything and what we can do to fight back. Pre-order here: www.lifeaftercars.com

In recent weeks, we've seen a wave of AI-generated images of white, blonde families presented by neo-fascist online accounts as models of a desirable future. As disgusting as this is, it seems no coincidence that AI is being used for reactionary propaganda 1/5 M

If you missed it (like I did, I just got back from a Boundary Waters Canoe trip!), @ardenthistorian.bsky.social and I have another piece out over @religiondispatches.org on DHS's fascist rhetoric!

The past has always been a popular subject in far-right worldviews, and they've recognized that pseudohistory (incl. pseudoarchaeology) can be powerful a door-opener and have weaponized that. Hardy Lloyd has said similar to Cooper, in using pseudohist. claims to initiate ppl without scaring them.

Trump never had to campaign on the Epstein files but he can't help himself. He could have just let it go like he did when he promised to lock up Hillary. Everyone forgot about that. But he leaned into the Epstein files and now he can't shake it off.

Tune into @wetwired.bsky.social’s podcast featuring @biancatylek.bsky.social as she discusses The Prison Industry book and how the carceral system profits from exploitation without delivering justice: bit.ly/4kt9d09

Very helpful review of the 2025 Kevin James action movie "Guns Up"

New ep! We talk about the White House's homicidal attention seeking that demands Trump did a very good job destroying the Iranian nuclear program. We also cover the hysterical Republican and Democrat reactions to NYC mayoral candidate Mamdani. www.patreon.com/posts/episod...

Had a blast talking about RAW and the Dark Enlightenment on this one! S/O to Sean and Jules!!!

We chat with @propanon.bsky.social about the legacy of Robert Anton Wilson and Timothy Leary’s 1970s and 80s hope-fueled tech utopianism in the age of Musk and Thiel’s tech-fash dystopia. Listen wherever pod.link/1593022493/e...

If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.

I love this more every time I read it.

REASON 136 for why you don’t handover people to other countries for detention of incarceration: They become poltical pawns for the receiving nation.

NEW BOOK! I think I forgot to tell everyone that I wrote a book. It’s the longest thread about the prison industry I’ve ever written, and it’s out this week. I’m honored by the response so far. Please get a copy!

Another requirement is records. Everything must be documented and cross referenced to discover the networks of "resistance" whether they exist or not.

Here it is. Maybe by the time people listen to this ep, the tariffs will be back on. Subscribe for free on Patreon to listen www.patreon.com/posts/episod...

Just got finished recording a @wetwired.bsky.social ep about 2 hours before this latest tariff news dropped. I feel at least as informed as Trump's trade rep 🤣

gaaaawd! my instinct is to use this horror as an opportunity to teach. any number of these accounts focused on firearms provide good alternatives to any grifter

Media challenge: try writing headlines without using the word "antisemitism". Stop using Trump's framing for his authoritarian actions. "Trump administration now monitoring immigrant social media" would be shorter and more accurate, since no-one really believes this is about anti-semitism.

Me checking in on the Zarahemla guys who have been streaming their "excavations" the past few days, using a large backhoe to create massive, narrow trenches, and seeing them blow through hearths, lithics, and pottery because charcoal is what they're after and not the context of the charcoal 🤦‍♀️

Today at the protest downtown, white organizers with 50501 called the police on a vendor for selling Black Panther merchandise in their protest even though he only had a small table and stayed out of the public right of way. Here is the vendor’s statement:

Dems are fretting about Signalgate, Trump is expanding deportations to include permanent residents from China, and now we're talking about a CIA program to find the Ark of the Covenant. Listen to a sample pod.link/1593022493/e... Subscribe for the full ep www.patreon.com/posts/premiu...

when he had given thanks, he broke it & gave it to his disciples, saying, “take & eat; this is my body—it is not fungible" and thomas did speak, "my lord, what is...'fungible'?" jesus did shake him off, then took a cup & he gave it to them, saying, “drink from it, all of you. this is slurp juice"

We could be talking about the dissolution of the US government. Instead, we’re escaping from the political brush fire to talk about Apple TV’s green screen mess, The Gorge. Listen to a sample wherever pod.link/1593022493/e... Get the full ep on Patreon www.patreon.com/posts/premiu...

How many of Kissinger's degrees have been revoked? That tells you all you need to know.

This looks pretty damn good!

They’re 22-43.

I have never believed that Democratic leadership is controlled opposition. It's conspiratorial; there are other available explanations. That said, I don't know what they'd be doing differently if they were.
