Our friend Niamh joins us on the pod this week to talk about the recent ‘Unite The Kingdom’ rally in London, and the way that the far-right are embracing and incorporating AI into their visual language and political organising.

Niamh also talks about her recent article, which profiles a devout Pakistani Muslim who is also one of the British far-right’s most popular slop producers.

We talk about how he works, and how economic incentives set out by platforms that demand more content than ever before are leading to a mass production of racist, Islamophobic content being largely produced in the global south.

This week we’re joined by friend of the show Mattie Lubchansky to talk about the epidemic of AI posters filling every small town, village and hamlet, and what it suggests about the state of local advertising today.

We try to figure out how to describe the aesthetic of AI posters, why their maximalism has become so ubiquitous, and how they are offshoots of the “dead internet” - an online environment where things exist with no meaning, purpose or intended audience.

This week, Hussein talks to reporter and editor Sasha Baker, about their recent investigation into the anonymous X accounts that seem to be informing and directing the UK’s approach to housing asylum seekers and refugees.

Sasha talks about the accounts that have direct communications access to senior Members of Parliament, and use it to disrupt official channels of communication online.

Sasha also explains how a broken internet and siloed online platforms make it much harder to stop targeted misinformation, and what governments can do in order prevent weaponised posts targeting society’s most vulnerable people.

This week, we’re joined by social affairs journalist Eve Livingston, to talk about her latest long-read, exploring the growing number of self-described ‘Hikikomori’ in Britain.

Eve talks to us about how harder economic pressures, alongside an expansive, all encompassing internet, is making it easier for some young people to live isolated and detached lives, and in many cases, even prefer doing so. She also talks about the parents of Hikikomori, and the techniques they’ve used to try bring their kids back into their social lives.

We also discuss a theory that Anne Hathaway over-charged her Jupiter Water in an occult ritual that potentially led to the death of Dolly Parton.

Writer and editor Stephen Buranyi joins the pod this week to talk about his latest feature, which explores the shadow economy driving food reviewers and the restaurants who love and loathe them. Stephen talks about the evolution of the food influencer, their distancing from being considered critics, and the ways that video-based platforms demand more from them, while also giving them less. Stephen explains how the evolution of food reviewers and influencers have reshaped the way restaurants operate and market themselves, and how influencers themselves are fighting each other for exclusivity. We also commemorate Kirkmas, and look back on that strange day in 2025 when the right’s last martyr got memed into irrelevance.

This week, the lads examine Sydney Sweeney’s new advertising campaign, and look at how the betting industry is expanding and taking celebrities with them, and what that says about the future of American soft power.

They also talk about George Bush (the gouache painter) and the final stage of 9/11 memeification. Phoebe also recalls a story of telling a fellow parent a fun fact.
