Hi, it would appear there has been a change in the RSS feed handling of the main podcast, it refused to update for me after 74.5 and I only see one entry if I visit it with the browser now. Thanks for the show.

I’ll look into this, thanks
Anonymous as “Declassification Management” and recruiting office and steam valve
maybe this hacker stuff ties in with engrams (not of the Hubbard persuasion) and English as a high-level programming language and a sort of “nam-shub of Enki” that could be found/built
great chat. sans moral faggotry. lulz were had
cool echo on “puns” around 47min mark
NSA collects a bunch of data (so we’re told) but having a bunch data doesn’t do squat. Snowden comes along and causes a bunch of good folks to self-censor…… so Snowden accomplished what the NSA couldn’t….. keep people from questioning the narrative. Job done.

One time I asked my weed man to help identify a pill I found in my room after a party.
He said: “I don’t know what it is, but if its white, don’t take it”
if the Matrix has taught us nothing else.. and it hasn’t. it’s that you don’t take strange unlabeled pills after the party
white pilled.. it’s a new thing where you eat the white rabbit instead of chase it
