Looks like https://jumble.top/ is back online. Huzzah! I was literally in the middle of typing out a post advertising the crappy replacement I've been hacking together for the past couple of days when I noticed that the OG slop feed was back.

Show notes

If you have been intimidated by the length of this show's flagship series, Ekofascism, BioPeace and Warfare, Parapolitical (insert crop name) etc. Then now is the time to jump in to this comprehensive summary of the theories that has guided the show for the last three years.

In the words of Gary Oldman's character in Leon the professional; I'm bringing everyone! We revisit the Columbia East Coast cohort of PHDs, who received honorary medals from Adolf for their immigration laws, inspired by the new 1920s British concept of "ecosystems".

A historical block of wealthy ecological conservationist lead by Herbert Hoover. Apparatchiks who cut their teeth in the colonies and who would never stop to kill, burn andremoved for the white mans burden. They foresaw the dust bowls but did nothing.

We show how the first international grain market came to be and how corn was introduced in the interregnum of its collapse. How it was flanked by motorization, chemical fertilizers and a new super structure which spoke of "population control" rather than "eugenics".

Link in the bio to a new free for all episode, hope you enjoy the music, the writing, the editing, the graphic design, the rent free brain worms and the show. If so please share far and wide.

Here's the book Marcus reads the long passage from after the intro

A history of world agriculture : from the neolithic age to the current crisis by Mazoyer, Marcel (2006)

Liv Agar from QAA joins the gang to talk about Wexit - the hare brained scheme to create a promised land for drunk drivers all around the world in Alberta. Also, we discuss the latest evil from the TBI, the creation of the Bins Condittieri, and a new Guy enters the pantheon.

So the pirate podcast feed at https://jumble.top/, maintained by our comrade @jumble@hexbear.net, is down again. Seems like the server is fully unreachable at the moment. I know there were issues with how Patreon premium feed URLs work, but it seems like that was solved for some time.

For those unaware, the way that site works is that people who are subscribed to some podcast's premium feed on Patreon donate their premium feed URL to Jumble's site, and users can then access a mirror of that premium feed for free through the site. I myself have donated a few feeds that I pay for, and I then sub to a few more for free through the site. As a chronic slop addict I genuinely feel the absence whenever the site is down, and I know I'm not alone based on the posts I see here every time it happens.

Given that downtimes have been getting more frequent, I'm wondering how me and other volunteers from the comm could contribute to maintaining and improving the stability of this service. So far it seems to have been mostly a one-person operation by Jumble, who deserves plenty of kudos for it (if there were other contributors I'm not aware of I apologize and extend the praise to them as well). The issue of course is that a one-person hobby project is inherently fragile and opaque. If Jumble - understandably - doesn't have time to respond to incidents then we don't get any slop and we don't even know if we'll ever get it back.

First off, for @jumble@hexbear.net if you see this: what's the status of the project at the moment? How much time and effort are you able to give it these days? Would you be willing/able to involve other volunteer contributors? Do you have an idea of what that could look like? If not that, would you consider allowing someone else to fork the codebase and create another instance of it? Would you be willing to share at least some of the working feed URLs you've gathered so far? The URLs donated by other users should probably not be shared without their owners consent, but the leaked ones at least could be.

Unfortunately Jumble doesn't seem to very active here these days, so as an alternative I'm calling out to the rest of you hogs to figure out if anybody else would be willing to help me work on a replacement for the slop feed. What I can offer is:

• a couple hours a week of my free time
• software dev and web hosting experience
• spare compute in my existing self-hosted setup
• a few bucks a month to contribute to running expenses
• a few podcast feeds I'm subscribed to

What's needed on the other hand would be:

• contributors to help developing and maintaining a new site in a more collaborative/democratic way
• small financial contributions for web hosting costs (potentially not necessary if I just use my existing setup)
• more feed URLs to collectivize (this is the most important one)

To start with it would be good to know how much interest there is in this comm for this kinda service, if it even makes sense to put work into it at all, and if there are enough people still willing to donate feeds for it to be viable.

Last week, Zohran Mamdani shattered the notion that a New York City mayor has to be some craggy-faced, man-shaped stack of disappointments who’d sooner die than be seen on the subway. The young, energetic Democratic Socialist ran on a platform of making New York City a more livable place for average residents, which—surprise!—went over well with average residents. Listening to constituents and trying to improve their lives doesn’t seem like a controversial stance, so why is it that the Democratic establishment seems almost as afraid of Mamdani as the Republicans? This week, Adam sits with Defector journalist and longtime NYC resident David Roth to talk about what it might mean for NYC to have a mayor who actually understands what NYC is, and what that might mean for the future of the left.

Eliot from Internet Today joins us for a round of Cosmic Horrors: The Worst Tweets Q2 2025 all in a single episode no paywall extravaganza. Disgusting!

I highly recommend both podcasts.

Will and Hesse are joined by producer Chris Wade to talk about two 1968 counter-culture satires: Bob Rafelson‘s Head and Barry Shear‘s Wild in the Streets.

In this episode of Left of the Projector, we explore the cultural impact of the 2001 film The Fast and the Furious, diving into its portrayal of car culture and masculinity. Joined by Zach, Connor, Bryant and Brandon from Cars and Comrades, we dissect the film's iconic racing scenes and memorable characters, debating the significance of vehicles like the Toyota Supra and Nissan Skyline. We examine the evolution of the franchise from street racing to grand action heists, and analyze themes of loyalty and exploitation through the lens of Dom Toretto and Brian O’Conner’s relationship. Additionally, we reflect on early 2000s fashion, memorable quotes, and the film's legacy, teasing exciting crossover potential for future installments.
