We reconvene, for our 3rd attempt to record a 36th episode after run-ins with cursed audio tools, to discuss the maelstrom of US politics and whether it's all a very very bad sign or an optimistic sign for social change... 

Is that what you meant by a remix, Darius? We catch up after another 2 week lull, we're going to try to be more timely in the future, we promise. In this catchup we try and fail to understand the mental models of White supremacists and whatevers. We try, but we fail.

Even talking about heavy subjects like the trial of the murderer of George Floyd we manage to make each other laugh, it is amazing, and probably explains a lot about why we have stuck with one another nigh on these 15 plus years. Friends are cool. But yeah we talk trial verdict, racism, GOP evilness, stupidity, herd mentality, externalities, Jack Handey and Douglas Adams. Not in that order. 

We whine about how tough it is to be deep voiced men with busy jobs totally unaffected by the pandemic - no, we're too sensitive for that, silly! Mostly we catch up on the ugly, bizarre, and terrifying landscape that is contemporary US politics. 

We give you words! At long last! An unexpected hiatus! But today, Deb Haaland, insane jury of your peers, do Republicans have human emotions, and the Dakota Territory vs. DC. You are welcome.

Top three things to kick off, we discuss HR1, "cancel culture" and the privilege bell. 

We finally started thinking of ourselves as our own version of Desus + Mero. Older, less cool versions. 

I mean listen in, doesn't it sound like that? Darius coins neologisms, we contemplate weaponizing passive aggressivity against the GOP. 

Just catching up after a super uneventful week when nothing really happe... what's that?

We are back, after a three week hiatus, and nothing whatsoever has changed in the nation. We speculate about whether we are in a happy ending movie or .. the other kind.
