An upcoming sociopolitical podcast, delivering an irreverent and darkly funny autopsy on the structural failures in society that underpin the daily news. You can find the daily churn anywhere. Here, you find out how it was allowed to happen.
Democrats better wake up this year. They can’t be afraid of the Mamdanis, but they can’t alienate the Mark Kellys either. Voters are activated by incentives. DEI and woke talk are bullshit identity ‘vibes’. Be the party that talks to people about fixing their housing crisis and income.

Ever think you could explain economics as a toxic romance?

I wrote this script that frames Capitalism as a recovering addict and Socialism as his sympathetic, but exhausted ex.

Read the irreverent will they/ won’t they deconstruction of the original odd couple.

This is quietly hilarious. MAGA showing up on Gay Days and expecting to gain support from Disney fans is like Stephen Miller showing up at a quinceanera to make friends.

I know it’s counterintuitive to post scripts early, but it’s a new year & I’m hyped up to get people engaged in sociopolitical issues. So here’s my irreverent script on campaign finance reform, “Money Talks”. It bridges the gap between theory and real danger with the Johnstown Flood in PA.

@espinsegall.bsky.social was kind enough to offer some feedback on the script and I’ll post the updated version shortly.

In the meantime, it’s imperative that we do engage more people & shake people out of apathy. Especially young voters. Meet them where they are. Finding common incentive is key.

First post! I’m looking forward to convincing people to get engaged in the system to encourage the change they want.
