Episode 168 - The Post-Consequence Era

Ambitious Crossover Attempt

Noam and Jen start out by discussing the Glenn Greenwald sex tape, because those are words that go together now. From there we move into discussing the Western media uncritically repeating a Hamas lie that Israel attacked Gazans who were in line for humanitarian aid, since the connective tissue between the stories is Israel being accused of things it did not do.

We take some time to nerd out over Ukraine's surprise attack on Russian airfields using Trojan trucks full of cheap drones, and how the war is showing the next phase of warfare will not rely on money and brute force but tech and skill.

To wrap up on a lighter note, we try to figure out what the hell the second season of The Last Of Us is leading to and the annoyance of creators retconning their original plot to make sure you get who the bad guy is.
