The gang gets a welcome radio transmission from the future, and have our friend and comrade Caroline Nagy (@carolinenudge) on to discuss the recent DSA National Convention (https://capitaldistrictdsa.org/).
Afterwards we reel from the sudden death of billionaire-child-rape-ring-leader Jeffrey Epstein, and marvel at our near-constant feeling of unsurprising shock with that we dub "pikachu-face."
We check in with the Democratic primary, and discuss Columbia Development and disgraced developer / rat Joseph Niccola's most recent shenanigans in Troy (https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Nicolla-back-in-spotlight-with-220K-tax-break-ask-14284539.php)
Our wildflowers this week is all about healthy happy cats! Meow!

The gang is back with more hot shit. We discuss: our brassican identities, the democratic primary debates, Amerikkka's ongoing descent into violence, gun laws, mental illness, stochastic terrorism, dark magic, the technology replacing Esperanto, and to lighten the mood - the rise of catholic exorcisms and demonic possession in general.

Episode art is the red nexus from League of Legends, a children's video game that Chris and the El Paso police are apparently way too into.

On this, our latest prime-numbered episode of Ironweeds we discuss Epstein's continued descent into getting what he deserves, why community is either a marketing ploy or a white supremacist rhetorical tool, the decriminalization of weed in NY state, and for our wildflowers segment we talk about our National Orgasm Day plans.

The gang gets together to chat about the death machines we all deal with every day, the horrifying political theater of feeding red meat to racist crowds, the history and legacy of our government's program of weaponizing parasitic insects, and we wrap up by praising some delightful snack foods.

The gang discusses the ideologically reinforcing structures of suburbs and right-wing YouTube algorithms, deplatforming and internet censorship, and stans mega-evil mega-corporations Apple & Google. (Oh and a minor correction: when Brit says "trolls" she means "bots.")
