PANEL 1: A cowboy bunny is smoking out near a pasture of cattle. BUNNY: "Every day I wake up an' start tellin' myself a little story about what an insufferable piece of shit I am."

PANEL 2: BUNNY: "'Course we all know that ever-present feeling of shame and self-loathing's jes' a foot in the door of you for the gottdamn fascists--but so it is."

PANEL 3: BUNNY: "Talked to the Doc about it n' he told me this is one-a-them universal experiences an' every beast what walks or crawls lives each day in abject despair. He's given to exaggeration, though." 

PANEL 4: The doc enters, drunk and singing. DOC: "Is there no one to play with my ol' swollen pecker?/Oh will nobody strum on this throbber of mine?" BUNNY: "Folks, here comes that selfsame doc"

PANEL 5: Black panel. White text. NARRATOR: "In ten years, they were all dead, and however they felt about it went unrecorded."

Phenomenology Friday

Our friends from The Relentless Picnic are back together to wonder about the capricious, the unconscious, the uncomfortable, the vulgar, and the bluntly offensive ways in which we are always already bound up in interpreting our being in the world. Not for the delicate of heart.

Americans think everyone is corrupt

Voters have weird views about this, and progressive advocacy groups do a lot that's counterproductive.

So will the party pay a price for Trump's corruption? They're set to lose the House, which almost always happens to the president's party during a midterm, but remain the odds-on favorites (1) to hold the Senate, in which case Trump will be able to keep MAGAfying the judiciary and getting away with corrupt schemes.

๐Ÿšจ NEW EPISODE ALERT ๐Ÿšจ

let's dive inside the mind of a wolf, explore the possibility that spoken communication is kind of a trick, and ask: what's the source of the overwhelming evil we feel as a component of the truck we're driving?

oh and also โ€” the most unhinged piece of audio we've ever put out

the goofily smiling face I've drawn in sharpie on my toaster is raising hard questions about the nature of selfhood.

but it suggests that we broaden our understanding of happiness. it probably even means it likes toasting things. because of how smiley the face on it is, if you look at it there.

10 years ago they told us AI and self-driving cars were going to wipe out up to half of all jobs. They didnโ€™t.

But while everyone was talking about whether they would, companies rolled out algorithmic management and used digital tech as a pretext to reclassify workers as contractors.

this episode is about music โ€” how we mishear it, how we can be sure we hear it at all, how a demon can take hold of you and use you to produce it, and how sometimes instead of music there's the mass-market autobiography of a beloved '90s actor.

what we can say is that this very question is posed in s7e10, back and forth between don and the realtor charged with selling the place. we know about don that he both adamantly thinks the outside reflects the inside, and also knows intimately how that's all a lie. so.
