170 - Good Caws Eviction

Ironweeds ·

2022/12/12

The city of Troy has taken aim at the roosting crows, and residents are up in wings about it. But is taking action against these beloved corvids advisable? Power outages, deliberate and not, are revealing the fragility of our utilities infrastructure. German cranks hilariously attempt a coup. David reveals some very problematic opinions about elves. And precision fermentation offers a promising glimpse into a future without big agro. Precision Fermentation and Rewilding of Agricultural

Iran and China are adjusting policies in response to mass protest–even if they won’t admit it. Meanwhile, rail workers are forced to accept a bad contract or carry out a wildcat strike. A sweet grandma’s home is raided and ransacked by a Denver SWAT team, and the new AI chatbot taking the internet by storm gives us our wildflower–a police reform executive order that is meh at best, but what do you expect–the AI is a liberal. Adam Johnson on the rail workers’ deal:

168 - Where’s the Weed?

Ironweeds ·

2022/11/28

Elder millennials yell at clouds this week as we discuss the deadliness of American car culture and the general trend of people not caring for those around them. Massive stockpiles of cannabis are going bad as New York struggles to begin its rollout of dispensaries. The movement to legalize psychedelic mushrooms is gaining steam, and the presumed extinct Pheasant Pigeon has been spotted in Papua New Guinea. Pheasant Pigeon:

167 - The Venture Capitalists Shall Inherit the Earth

Ironweeds ·

2022/11/21

With DJT once again given an enormous platform on the bird site, we take a trip down memory lane to review the love-hate relationship between Musk and Trump. Rich people believe that their greatest legacy may be leaving behind a bunch of genetically superior babies who will one day rule the earth. COP 27 agrees to create a fund for the poorest countries most affected by climate change, but does nothing to curb emissions. And Indonesia is moving to pay fishermen a premium for all plastic trash they

166 - Spraying Bugs While Black

Ironweeds ·

2022/11/14

A nine year old girl was reported to the police for destroying invasive lanternflies in her neighborhood. According to her neighbor and former Republican city council member, the “little black woman” was scary to him. An FBI raid on an ABC news producer has resulted in him being disappeared in more ways than one. And workers at a California Medieval Times theater have won their vote! FBI raid on news producer:

2022/11/07

The internet is getting worse, the midterms are going to be a faceplant for the Democrats, and your recycled plastic is probably sitting in a warehouse somewhere. But feel free to feed seagulls alka seltzer, they’ll be fine.

2022/10/31

In times like these, the news is scary enough amirite?! Nuclear war, assassination attempts, Kanye… all very spooky stuff. You know what else is spooky? Ozone-depleting CFCs. Thankfully Brandon is on the case! Happy Halloween friends, give the kids candy and save the drugs for people who will actually appreciate them.

163 - The Fault in our Starlink

Ironweeds ·

2022/10/18

Despite some technical difficulties, we’re here to bring you the quality content you’ve come to expect from Ironweeds. Musk has a plan for peace in Ukraine, but it’s going to require a lot of your tax money. He’s kind of strapped. The New York AG is suing Norlite over their hazardous materials site in Cohoes, where residents are advised to keep their windows shut lest the airborne microscopic glass get into their nervous systems. It’s soup season. The crabs are gone. The salmon are washed up. But

162 - The Elon Bacons at Midnight

Ironweeds ·

2022/10/10

What will the world’s richest man do with Twitter if and when he acquires it? Based on his text messages, some extremely stupid things. The Uvalde School Police have been nixed, and specialty police forces are proving themselves to be good at one thing: not utilizing any of their supposed extra training in a crisis. Howard Schultz is, like, super sad about all this unionizing guys. He had no idea you felt this way. And Dark Brandon Rises again with a pardon for cannabis users… but it’s not quite as

161 - Lactose Finds A Whey

Ironweeds ·

2022/10/03

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should. Get ready for milk made from yeast! As long as we only make girl synthetic microorganisms we should be fine. The Oathkeepers have a novel defense in their sedition trial: it’s not illegal if the president tells us to do it. And we didn’t do it if we went to Olive Garden. Florida and the Caribbean has again been struck by a monster storm, begging the question: When does the evacuation become

160 - Carm vs. Color

Ironweeds ·

2022/09/27

We regret to inform you that the cops are, once again, behaving badly. A woman who was abandoned by Colorado police in a cruiser parked on train tracks is expected to survive after being hit by a train. A judge has been removed from his post for repeatedly bragging about pulling his hand gun on a “big black man” while presiding in court. A Glens Falls woman is being denied a crucial medication for her rare condition because it could potentially cause birth defects in a fetus that she does not have

159 - Human Trafficking Rush Hour

Ironweeds ·

2022/09/20

Absent Britney, who is down flat from the covid booster, the boys tread into lots of local stories, including an update on the Albany Central Warehouse, the Rensselaer County Elections Commissioner getting arrested for voter fraud, and Albany med nurses being trafficked by the hospital. We also talk about the bigger human trafficking story dominating the news, what NYC influencers do on a normal day (it’s not normal), and for a bright spot: Trials for a new Lyme Disease vaccine. Migrants

158 - Redshirts Never Die

Ironweeds ·

2022/09/12

In one of our more casual episodes, Britney and David are back from the Ren Faire with stories. David went on TrueAnon to talk about cities and the trends that ruin them. The Queen is dead. It is (was) 9/11. Credit card companies are beginning to tag all firearm sales and track purchasers. And a non-profit discount grocery store is coming to one of Troy’s biggest food desserts! Visa, Mastercard, and Amex to track gun sales: https://apnews.com/4aae50c67e40f9683f604a8683acc391 Discount grocer

157 - Mandatory Union Coffee Break

Ironweeds ·

2022/09/06

This week we’re missing David, but are joined by previous guests/friends of the show Sean and Ashley to talk about local union organizing, the potential of a national railroad strike, the weirdo ex-CEO spending millions of dollars to prove that Trump won in 2020, the Albany Police Review Board’s requests for more power and funds, and Germany’s program to cut fuel dependency with cheap rail transit. Don’t miss David’s appearance on TrueAnon where he discusses his forthcoming book! David on

156 - Busting Out The Sack

Ironweeds ·

2022/08/30

There’s more than one way to discipline a worker, but the sack may be the most effective. Manhattan is further infecting upstate with a bar targeted at lobbyists. UFOs are not only real, and not only non-human, but they are an exponentially growing threat. Apparently. An Alabama Pastor was arrested for watering his neighbors flowers. And a bald eagle caught a baby falcon for lunch, but ended up raising it as its own. Exponential UFOs:

155 - The Price of Fame

Ironweeds ·

2022/08/23

Men, am I right? Oof. This week we’re talking about two real gems of masculinity–violent misogynist Andrew Tate and violent fake liberal CEO Dan Price. Also, did you know Brandon massively scaled back the drone war? Us neither. I wonder why… Then, a father who took a photo of his toddler’s penis to consult with a doctor has had his entire Google account deleted. And for our wildflower, retail sale of legal cannabis is in sight for NY State! Andrew Tate’s MLM:

154 - Back in the Saddle

Ironweeds ·

2022/08/15

We’re back, baby! Hope you didn’t miss us too much. We catch up a bit before getting into such topics as minor league baseball, guns, Trump’s beautiful safe, a DEA agent who murdered his neighbor with no consequences, an update on the Capital Roots unionization effort, and a bit of good news about the Great Barrier Reef. Keep your eyes peeled for our episode on the Albany Warehouse, coming soon to a Patreon feed near you! DEA agent kills neighbor, gets off scot free:

Does The New Star Trek Betray The Socialist...

Ironweeds ·

2022/08/05

The venerable Star Trek universe is really the only major pop culture property that can be claimed as certifiably leftist. But how do the newest batch of shows hold up? In a special crossover episode, Lyta Gold of Art for the End Times teams up with a lively panel of fellow podcasters and Trekkies—David Banks and Britney Gil (Iron Weeds), Leslie Lee III (Struggle Session), and Aaron Thorpe (Trillbilly Workers Party, Struggle Session, and Everybody Loves Communism)—to discuss the most recent Star

153 - Tin Foil Hat Cat

Ironweeds ·

2022/07/25

Something is rotten in the state of New York. A vicious attack on Representative and gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin feels suspiciously like a set up. On the other side of the fence, one family has donated $300k to Kathy Hochul’s campaign, with an impressive ROI of $637m. Republicans are having a really tough time with the whole gay marriage issue, so please send thoughts and prayers. And for our wildflower, a randy little parrot is at the height of its game! A family donated $300K to Hochul

152 - AstroTurf the World

Ironweeds ·

2022/07/20

A story sandwich this week–good stuff, bad stuff, and good stuff to leave your palate cleansed. Congressional staffers are unionizing! But the climate is actively killing us and our poor, poor grass. We’ll show them tho, by using plastic grass! Progress! Arizona has effectively outlawed filming the police. But David wrote an essay on psychedelics and architecture! And the good folks at the New Jersey Medieval Times are unionizing! Congressional staffers unionizing:
