Great news – I found our Norms and Institutions! They were underneath 160 dead Iranian girls.

Thank you. I've been looking out for this. Stay safe.

"Perfect, genuine, complete, crystaline, pure... they had the strength, the STRENGTH to do that..." It's just a projection of the fear of his (their) own weakness. It's all fear and denial on that side of things. That's the thing about, call it fascism, call it transactional nihilism, call it whatever you want... by virtue of its obsession with some warped version of purity, of defining by exclusion, it's purpose built to not be able to hold anything outside of its necessarily limited understanding of what being alive means. It winnows away at the simple vitality of being alive in a way that becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy: it takes all of that fear, and the hate generated by that fear, and makes it the only operant condition for being alive; it becomes a process of turning your own life into the very thing you were so scared of in the first place. This is, admittedly, pretty fucking cold consolation. The good news is that it's self evidently unsustainable, the bad news is that it destroys everything as it goes along: it's a giant shit and rubble and viscera and child limbed katamari. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdRL6qH3YRM

Love the song at the end: "Straight to Hell" by The Clash, from their 1982 album Combat Rock. Standard interpretation follows below, but this show is SO MUCH better than this. Anyway, thanks. "Straight to Hell" is a stark, haunting protest song about rejection, displacement, and the human cost of empire and war. Joe Strummer uses sparse, echoing production to amplify the lyrics' bitterness.T he first verse critiques post-industrial Britain (declining steel towns, generational stagnation) and the xenophobic attitudes toward immigrants from former colonies—told to assimilate ("speak King's English") yet ultimately dismissed and unwanted ("there ain't no need for ya / go straight to hell"). The second verse shifts to the Vietnam War's aftermath, focusing on Amerasian children—born to Vietnamese mothers and American GIs—who were abandoned by their fathers and often denied citizenship or acceptance in the U.S., left pleading to be taken "home" in a place that feels alien. The final lines broaden it to a universal truth: on any "frontier" or in any hemisphere, outsiders (whether economic migrants, war orphans, or the dispossessed) face the same cold rejection from dominant societies. It's a condemnation of hypocrisy—Western powers exploit, then discard—and a raw cry against racism, abandonment, and dehumanization. The repeated "go straight to hell" flips from the oppressors' sneer into a bitter, resigned echo of the excluded. Many consider it one of The Clash's most emotionally powerful and politically sharp tracks.

For all his faults (literary and otherwise), Cormac McCarthy really nailed the characterization of a subset of American ideology in Judge Holden. "War was always here. Before man was, war waited for him. The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner." "The freedom of birds is an insult to me, I'd have them all in zoos" "Whatever in creation exists without my knowledge exists without my consent" Just an ignorant, arrogant, bloodthirsty, gluttonous, baby scalping, pedophilic brute with a superficial air of aristocracy and scientific reason. What a country. Great episode, thank you for continuing to transmute this horror. Love the addition of the "drinking fluids" asmr section and it does make your voice sound good. Also I cannot properly express how interested I am in an episode (hopefully episodes) about WW1.

final stretch got me ruminating on the 1989 film Society. if anyone's a Chapo subscriber check out their Movie Mindset episode on it.

What’s the song at the end?

"O Crank Of The Based Balls, we hardly knew ye"

Thank you. Thank you. I credit The Clash with my early awareness of living in the belly of the beast. Perfect piece to end your, as always, deeply humane perspective. I can almost see outside the spectacle….

I am a volunteer SAR for a national park in my area. I can confirm, when people get hypothermic beyond a certain threshold, they do feel warm and will even undress. I have found folded clothes of dead people. We used to get a lot of calls for drug addicted persons and dementia patients wandering into the woods.

There ain’t no asylum here 🙂‍↕️

Brother I need this WW1 episode. Don't forget the American loans to Britain before 1917

Can someone post the radio war nerd episode about Iran that msj mentioned?

God damn this fucking country.

My right-wing evangelical (Seventh Day Adventist) Peruvian grandmother had these really beautiful Persian rugs in her house, which I eventually learned she acquired at a massive discount in 1979 when whatever spooky DC-area reactionary immigrant milieu she was plugged into tipped her early that the Shah's embassy staff's immediate reaction to the revolution was to strip everything of value from the embassy and sell it.

Michael, there’s a book called “Lost Person Behavior” written for Search and Rescue teams. I’ve read chapters of it for my training. There are some insanely bizarre but predictable patterns people who are hurt, lost, sundowning, etc tend to follow. For instance, dementia patients and children reliably walk SouthWest when they are lost.

Thank you for putting this into words. I'm am so fucking tired of people from my dad and step dad's corner of the world being murdered, enslaved, and trafficked. I'm sick to my stomach over this happening over and over and over. My dad's country was bombed and now is a slave market. It is allllll so fucking horrifying. But whoooot!!! Go team!! Vote blue!!! 'Pete Kegsbreath' lmao am I right? That's such a funny that gets the late night ratings up!!
