We’ve brought on our friend and long-suffering literary correspondent Nish Kumar to discuss Matthew Goodwin’s new book that he wrote using AI while cribbing a stupid meme from the Joe Rogan Experience: “suicidal empathy.” The hits are all there, but Goodwin can’t bring himself to go full Camp of the Saints, and instead just pads his word count with the help of computer and winds up writing white grievance Fanon instead. Our friends at Trade Unions Fighting the Far Right are organising a demo against Tommy Robinson on 16th May in London!

Middle East correspondent Seamus Malekafzali returns to discuss the possible closure of the Bab-al-Mandab strait by the Houthis, why an $80bn Saudi defence budget Saudi can’t stop them, and how the US and Israel started something they couldn’t stop if they wanted to… and how this makes every fake Saudi arts or sports or tech washing project more worthless than usual.

We got outpaced again on the life and times of Kim Guilfoyle! But mainly we're here to discuss the Reform Candidates who repeated 1950's slurs into a boom mic (legitimate concerns!) LOUDLY AND SLOWLY, and the life, death, and bankruptcy of our old friend Character AI. Who knew the "Elsa From Frozen Tells You To Kill Your Parents" company that also has horrible unit economics wasn't going to be a viable business.

Musa joins us to discuss the recent controversies with Abu Dhabi, Man City, and why decades of underinvestment in the U.K. left us vulnerable to becoming the playthings of monarchies… also football. But first, we read an article about a perennial favourite subject: people incriminating themselves by text. Check out the Stadio podcast here!

Hussein tried to conduct some shoe leather journalism at the beating heart of the Holborn & St Pancras constituency: this one Blank Street Coffee franchise by the station that always has an enormous queue. Sadly he didn’t learn anything, and instead we’ve decided that whatever happens in the by-election, it’s got to be a bellwether of something that is bad for the left.

We have an opportunity to speak with Jay, a union organizer in the UK hospitality industry, about the ways in which that sector is particularly hostile to labour organizing and, unsurprisingly, owned by ghouls all the way up and down. But before that, Nate, Hussein, and November discuss Trump’s declaration about calling AI “Super Intelligence,” and the fact that he’s forced a bunch of tech CEOs to sign a half-baked manifesto about it. Jay’s union is Unite and you can learn more about it here! Get more TF episodes each week by subscribing to our Patreon here! RILEY ALERT Check out No Gods, No Mayors here!
