EP.017: Assault Podcast
Episode 17 runs almost four hours, starting with the midterms: a blue wave, a second Dan Sullivan on Alaska's ballot, a Georgia memory card that flipped a race, and why your local vote matters most. Gavin Newsom moves to empty California's death row, hackers go after France's blood-bank freezers and a French bank's own accounts, and Paraguay's biggest digital lender collapses and takes the president down with it. The Wood Chipper Award goes to a content creator bragging about marrying a 14-year-old, with a sprinkle of Russell Brand. Sony offers $400 to buy back PS5s before GTA 6, and Virginia's prosecutors and judges push back on the state's new gun ban. Art submissions open at art.accidentallyinteresting.com, and the .stream page gets its chat room. Then the deep end: accelerationism, from a 1967 science-fiction novel and Nick Land's amphetamine philosophy to Atomwaffen, Terrorgram, The Base and its leader in Russia, Silicon Valley's e/acc, and the oldest version of all: people trying to force the end of days, from Münster and Mecca to a red heifer flown in from Texas.
