Ironweeds ·

2019/09/25

This week we discuss the lurid details of #plategate, how trains transitioned from erotic death machines of capitalism to friendly socialist transport, yeeting billionaires, Pelosi finally doing her job but for all the wrong reasons, and how being nice just might save your life. David's article on trains: https://reallifemag.com/union-station/ Bonus content for those who leave us a review or throw us a hammy! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/ironweeds

Ironweeds ·

2019/09/17

The gang is back on their bullshit - causing local controversy by sharing facts and logic. In this episode we discuss the adorable birdhouses for books we call little free libraries, why they need more leftist literature, and the modern American fear of confronting politics in public spaces. We talk The Shop, after its sudden closure due to the mass resignation of its entire workforce, the challenges of unionizing hospitality workers, and why worker owned co-ops rule. Our wildflower this time is the

2019/09/09

This week David gets back from a #Neveragainisnow rally and didn’t get hit by a car! Though we later agree that bikes are cars too (in the best way possible). The Joker is (un)cancelled. We look at the paltry offerings of the CNN town hall (except for Bernie, we stan him). Then we get into the equally sticky topics of population control and fish poop. Finally, for wildflowers we ask the tough question: “Can waifus consent to polyamory?” All this and more on IRONWEEDS! (Oh and a minor correction:

This week on the pod, Brit returns from her fieldwork in the North Star State, David gives us permission to call Ben Shapiro a manlet, local police do their darnedest to protect a killer cop, Trump wants to listen to your “mental extremes” on your Alexa, and thousands of NY State weed convictions are overturned.

Ironweeds ·

2019/08/26

This episode, we are blessed with a guest, Sean Collins, lead organizer of SEIU 200 United and author and contributor at Strike Wave (www.thestrikewave.com @strikewave), a labor news publication. Unfortunately, we are also cursed with an absence, as Britney was unable to record this week. We talk about labor organizing, the modern space race, free taco promotions, tipped wages, democracy in the workplace, the republican primary, and for our wildflower: dancing on the grave of David Koch.

2019/08/20

We got another transmission from the alternate near-future! We Appreciate (clean, efficient) Power!

Ironweeds ·

2019/08/12

The gang gets a welcome radio transmission from the future, and have our friend and comrade Caroline Nagy (@carolinenudge) on to discuss the recent DSA National Convention (https://capitaldistrictdsa.org/). Afterwards we reel from the sudden death of billionaire-child-rape-ring-leader Jeffrey Epstein, and marvel at our near-constant feeling of unsurprising shock with that we dub "pikachu-face." We check in with the Democratic primary, and discuss Columbia Development and disgraced developer / rat

Ironweeds ·

2019/08/06

The gang is back with more hot shit. We discuss: our brassican identities, the democratic primary debates, Amerikkka's ongoing descent into violence, gun laws, mental illness, stochastic terrorism, dark magic, the technology replacing Esperanto, and to lighten the mood - the rise of catholic exorcisms and demonic possession in general.

5 - No Community for Old Men

Ironweeds ·

2019/07/31

On this, our latest prime-numbered episode of Ironweeds we discuss Epstein's continued descent into getting what he deserves, why community is either a marketing ploy or a white supremacist rhetorical tool, the decriminalization of weed in NY state, and for our wildflowers segment we talk about our National Orgasm Day plans. ~~Show Notes~~ Epstein's terrible horrible no good very bad day:

4 - You Are Not A Muncho

Ironweeds ·

2019/07/21

The gang gets together to chat about the death machines we all deal with every day, the horrifying political theater of feeding red meat to racist crowds, the history and legacy of our government's program of weaponizing parasitic insects, and we wrap up by praising some delightful snack foods.

The gang reacts to news about Epstein (spoiler: it's not good folks), Chris makes excuses for his recent political defeat, David chronicles the attempts to make Troy a Sanctuary City, Brit tells us about Wal-Mart unionizing via Reddit, and the gang shares its hopes of discovery when our comrades successfully take Area 51.

2 - Scary Sexy Computers

Ironweeds ·

2019/07/08

The gang discusses the ideologically reinforcing structures of suburbs and right-wing YouTube algorithms, deplatforming and internet censorship, and stans mega-evil mega-corporations Apple & Google. (Oh and a minor correction: when Brit says "trolls" she means "bots.")
