CannCon and Absolute1776 navigate the chaos of January 6th, from global health fears like a bubonic plague vaccine and avian flu preparedness to the political drama of Trump's certification and Biden's lingering administration. Delve into the chilling implications of Mike Johnson's rule changes and the latest narratives surrounding terrorism and domestic policy. With sharp analysis, humor, and a clear-eyed look at evolving events, this episode is your key to understanding the headlines.

The 2024 word of the year, accordion got Oxford University Press, is “brain rot,” which tends to accompany “bed rot” and “quit quitting” as part of a multi faceted cultural decline. It doesn't matter if one observes the narratives being spun by official sources or the alternative media or dive into the recesses of the internet. We have watched the internet devolve from aviation conspiracies to weather conspiracies in a matter of 24 hours since the last broadcast. Now the story is that snow, grey skies, and fog are no longer a part of the fall-winter season but instead a sinister plot of patented technologies. We have heard snow isn't real for a long time, but now grey clouds are part of the conspiracy. The so-called strange fog being reported around the world is also strangely occurring in places that are currently experiencing… winter. There are cases of strange smelling fog in the past, usually the result of pollution, while there are legends in Europe about strange fog preceding outbreak of plague. But that is not what we are seeing online. We are seeing the winter. And while we are working up a new pandemic of bird flu, too, the opposite narrative is that the fog is making us sick with flu like symptoms. It could just be winter lifestyles, increased food consumption, cold air, chemicals indoors, increased stress, etc. But this disconnection from reality is only part of the equation with the socially labeled sane people believing that all of this winter weather is a result of global warming and that all the sickness is the bird flu virus. In order to enter the new year with our mind still in working order, we need to clear up the FOGVID of 2024 which includes not only general brain rot, but a decline in spiritual practices, overall health and the no contact movement against families. -FREE ARCHIVE (w. ads)SUBSCRIPTION ARCHIVEX / TWITTER FACEBOOKWEBSITEPAYPALCashApp: $rdgable EMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tst-radio--5328407/support.

Why did the bacterium cross the road? To get to the Join the Docs podcast, of course! In this infectiously funny episode, Dr. Nigel Guest, our ever-curious family practitioner, sits down with none other than Yersinia pestis, the infamous bacterium behind the bubonic plague (). With a twinkle in his eye and a stethoscope around his neck, Dr. Guest dives into a conversation that's as infectious as it is informative, exploring the historical havoc wreaked by this notorious, nasty microbe.Ever wondered what it's like to be the life of the pandemic party? Yersinia pestis, doesn't hold back. Reflecting on its "achievements" with a mix of pride and humour, Yersinia boasts about its role in various outbreaks, including the infamous Black Death. "I was the original person to go viral ," the bacterium recounts its glory days, clearly demonstrating it does not know the difference between a virus and a bacterium butspreading faster than a juicy piece of gossip in a small town, and chuckles about its current status in the microbial hall of shame—er, fame.How does one bacterium manage to stay plague-fully relevant for centuries? Yersinia pestis attributes its longevity to a combination of adaptability and a flair for the dramatic. "I've always known how to make an entrance," it says with a wink, "and let's face it, who doesn't love a good comeback story?" The conversation takes a turn for the hilarious as Yersinia shares anecdotes from its plaguey past, including a particularly memorable stint in 14th-century Europe.Is it possible to make a deadly pathogen sound charming? Dr. Nigel Guest certainly thinks so, as he navigates the interview with the skill of a seasoned talk show host. "You've certainly left your mark on history," he says, barely suppressing a chuckle. Yersinia responds with a mischievous grin, "Well, you know what they say, go big or go home!" The episode wraps up with a light-hearted discussion on modern medicine and the bacterium's current status, proving that even the most sinister microbes can have a sense of humour.This episode is a rollicking, germ-spreading ride through time, disease, and laughter, guaranteed to leave you both educated and entertained. So grab your headphones, settle in, and get ready to laugh your way through the plagues of infectious history with Dr. Nigel Guest and the ever-entertaining Yersinia pestis.—--DISCLAIMER: The views and opinions expressed on Join the Docs are those of Dr. Nigel Guest, Jonathan Sackier and other people on our show.

In recent news, there has been a case of bubonic plague caused by a cat, highlighting the importance for veterinarians to be aware of zoonotic diseases. Bubonic plague is a bacterial infection transmitted through fleas, often found on rodents and pets like cats. Veterinarians should be vigilant in recognizing symptoms in animals and educating pet owners on prevention measures, including flea control and avoiding contact with wild rodents. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial for both animal and human health. Dr. Mike Lappin, famous infectious diseas expert returns to the purrpodcast.

Recent reports have highlighted a case of bubonic plague transmitted by a cat, underscoring the importance for cat owners to be aware of zoonotic diseases. Bubonic plague is spread through fleas, commonly found on rodents and pets like cats. Cat owners should prioritize flea prevention measures, regular veterinary check-ups, and avoiding contact with wild rodents. It's essential to monitor cats for symptoms and seek prompt veterinary care if any signs of illness arise, ensuring both feline and human health. Dr. Mike Lappin, returns to the podcast to explain.

Small Kindnesses  Danusha Laméris I've been thinking about the way, when you walk down a crowded aisle, people pull in their legs to let you by. Or how strangers still say “bless you” when someone sneezes, a leftover from the Bubonic plague. “Don't die,” we are saying. And sometimes, when you spill lemons from your grocery bag, someone else will help you pick them up. Mostly, we don't want to harm each other. We want to be handed our cup of coffee hot, and to say thank you to the person handing it. To smile at them and for them to smile back. For the waitress to call us honey when she sets down the bowl of clam chowder, and for the driver in the red pick-up truck to let us pass. We have so little of each other, now. So far from tribe and fire. Only these brief moments of exchange. What if they are the true dwelling of the holy, these fleeting temples we make together when we say, “Here, have my seat,” “Go ahead—you first,” “I like your hat.” From Healing the Divide: Poems of Kindness and Connection (Green Writers Press, 2019).

On a small island in the northern part of the Venetian Lagoon rests Poveglia Island, dubbed “Island of Ghosts” and is noted to be the most haunted island in the world. Used as a quarantine location for the plague and an exile location for criminals, the soil on Poveglia Island has seen thousands and thousands of deaths. Join Gina and Amber as they discuss the haunting history of Poveglia Island and how it is now an abandoned, decaying resting place for the spirits of those who succumbed to the plague or the demented experiments by a doctor who met his own demise on the island as well.

Historian Simon Schama's new book, Foreign Bodies:Pandemics, Vaccines, and the Health of Nations, recounts the pain and panic caused by smallpox, cholera and the Bubonic plague over the past two centuries. But he also examines how vaccines were developed for each disease – and how understanding science and our bodies brings humans closer together. In today's episode, Schama speaks with NPR's Scott Simon about how the history of mass disease and immunization is still relevant to today's global health, especially when it comes to political messaging around COVID-19.

Mankind has defeated all comers in the struggles we have had with the animal kingdom – no sabre-tooth tiger, crocodile or shark has been able to stall the Ascent of man … except perhaps our microscopic competitors; pathogens in the form of a virus, bacteria or God forbid, fungus.  Throughout our history these miniscule machines of death have destroyed huge numbers of people across the planet.  And we, humans, seem to positively encourage their many successes with our move to urbanisation, our migrations, our wars.  Pestilence and plague seem to follow our every geopolitical convulsion.  These crafty pathogens find any convenient vector to invade our fragile bodies – they are in the water we drink, the food we eat, the air we breath.From the distant past to the present day ‘Plagues' have been sawing at the trunk of human progress:  in this episode we take a tour through their greatest hits.  Pity the poor Pangolin.so it goes,Tom Assheton and James Jackson Reading by David Hartley - The Black Death, 1348, Henry Knighton See also:YouTube: BloodyViolentHistoryhttps://www.instagram.com/bloodyviolenthistory/https://www.jamesjacksonbooks.comhttps://www.tomtom.co.uk If you enjoy the podcast, would you please leave a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes, Spotify or Google Podcast App?

That Is Not Your Mind!: Zen Reflections on the Surangama Sutra by Robert Rosenbaum “A central tenet of Soto Zen is that we don't practice to become enlightened. We meditate because it's a natural expression of the fundamental enlightened nature we share with all beings. This is true, but it won't be grounded in the reality of our lives if we don't acknowledge the personal needs that bring us to practice. Whatever our original motivations, something unexpected happens: our self-centered goals begin to morph into wider, stranger shapes. Like a Möbius strip, a small twisting-turn changes our topology, and we enter a different dimension; instead of feeling we are on a solitary quest, seeking a Way hidden somewhere in the wilderness, we discover the Way is also, always, seeking us.” Small Kindnesses ~ Danusha Laméris I've been thinking about the way, when you walk down a crowded aisle, people pull in their legs to let you by. Or how strangers still say “bless you” when someone sneezes, a leftover from the Bubonic plague. “Don't die,” we are saying.

Could it be the world itself – the oceans, the meadowlark, the patience of the trees in the wind? Could it be love, with its sweet clamor of passion? Something else – something else entirely holds me in thrall. That you have a life that I wonder about more than I wonder about my own. That you have a life – courteous and intelligent – that I wonder about more than I wonder about my own. That you have a soul – your own, no one else's – that I wonder about more than I wonder about my own. So that I find my soul clapping its hands for yoursmore than my own.

Welcome back B-oo's Crew!!! In honor of the warmer weather, we have decided to focus in on some islands for the next few weeks. Poveglia Island is a place with history going all the way back to the B.C. era and then used again as a Plague colony as the Bubonic plague swept through Europe decimating thier population. If you think thats where the darkness ends, then you're wrong. The true horror on this island started with one man....Doctor Paolo. A sadistic doctor with a taste for torture.

In this week's episode of the Get Lit Minute, your weekly poetry podcast, we spotlight the life and work of poet, Danusha Laméris. She is the author of The Moons of August (Autumn House Press, 2014), selected by Naomi Shihab Nye as the winner of the 2013 Autumn House Press Poetry Prize. SourceThis episode includes a reading of her poem, "Small Kindnesses,"  featured in our 2022/23 Get Lit Anthology."Small Kindnesses"I've been thinking about the way, when you walkdown a crowded aisle, people pull in their legsto let you by. Or how strangers still say “bless you”when someone sneezes, a leftoverfrom the Bubonic plague. “Don't die,” we are saying.And sometimes, when you spill lemonsfrom your grocery bag, someone else will help youpick them up. Mostly, we don't want to harm each other.We want to be handed our cup of coffee hot,and to say thank you to the person handing it. To smileat them and for them to smile back. For the waitressto call us honey when she sets down the bowl of clam chowder,and for the driver in the red pick-up truck to let us pass.We have so little of each other, now. So farfrom tribe and fire. Only these brief moments of exchange.What if they are the true dwelling of the holy, thesefleeting temples we make together when we say, “Here,have my seat," "Go ahead — you first," "I like your hat."Support the show

What would it be like to witness the end of the world? Europeans in the 1340s reasonably believed they were seeing the apocalypse. In only 4 years, the Black Death killed approximately half the population. Find out what caused this plague, and what people did to try to survive.

Dandridge is back! In this episode, the TTSP crew discuss all of the interesting things that happen in 2022 as well as name the asshole of the year. The crew starts off by welcoming Dandridge back and proclaiming that she had the bubonic plague which made her hazy since she brought up the January 6 insurrection. The crew named their "Asshole of the year" and it shouldn't be a surprise. GCon talked about our beloved Pastor Whitehead and his outrageous year & Freeze explains why he thinks J Cole had the verse of the year over Jay Z. Dandridge closes the show giving props to her alma mater Cooley High and states that it is all about the Cardinals.You definitely want to hear this!

What was the black death and what caused it? Listen in as Brandon goes down the Rabbit Hole and looks into the history of the black death.

As we record this episode, Elon Musk has recently purchased Twitter. His purchase raises all sorts of questions relevant to Buddhist practice, perhaps most importantly of Right Speech. What should be allowed online? How should we practice on Twitter or other social media platforms?  Does our written communication actually inline with our intent and do we have a sense of how it might land with others?  This is where our mindfulness practice truly makes a difference.Someone is wrong on the Internet! https://xkcd.com/386/Key and Peele Text Gone Wrong Small KindnessesBy Danusha LamérisI've been thinking about the way, when you walkdown a crowded aisle, people pull in their legsto let you by.

Nowadays, epidemics and pandemics can travel the globe in days. But how did things like the Plague travel from continent to continent in the late 1800s? Learn about the S.S. Nippon Maru and how it carried the Bubonic plague from China to Japan to Hawaii before finally reaching the port of San Francisco. When you think of the plague, you think of medieval times and the Black Death, but the Bubonic plague was here (and is still here) as recently as 1900.Support the show

“Ring Around the Rosie” has been a popular nursery rhyme for a very long time. Many of us learned it when we were children. But we often hear people claim that the rhyme is traceable to the time of the Black Plague, and that each line is a morbid reminder of the horrors of Bubonic disease. But was it? Episode 457

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Four Concerns Regarding Longtermism, published by Pat Andriola on June 6, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. I'm submitting the below as part of the Red Teaming contest. Any prize money won will be donated to the non-profit I founded (the Rikers Debate Project). I think it makes a bit of sense to start with who I am for this post, because I'm hoping to provide a bit of a curious outsider's perspective on EA in the hopes of offering a somewhat unique perspective. I consider myself “EA adjacent.” I have a number of good friends (Josh Morrison, Jay Shooster, Alex Silverstein) who are varying parts of the movement (then again, because I'm only adjacent I have no idea if any of you will know these names). I'm a rationalist by nature, did high-level college debate with decent success, and was part of the Moneyball-era baseball analytics movement (so I'm good with the intersection of numbers and logic). I think all of those qualities give me a proclivity toward EA. These days I'm a rather boring complex commercial litigator who does a good amount of pro bono work. My greatest civic contribution is founding (with Josh Morrison and others) the Rikers Debate Project, which I consider to be a rather typical, not especially EA-y non-profit.I'm writing this because I think I've absorbed enough about EA via osmosis to provide a halfway intelligible critique. To state my lack of bona fides: I sometimes read EA stuff accidentally, but neither typically or intentionally. I had to make an account for this forum to post this. I've never heard Will MacAskill speak before, but I have had multiple people tell me about him. I read Peter Singer before I associated him with EA. I am generally sympathetic to and supportive of the positions of the EA movement. I mean, who can oppose ambitious people coming together to provide efficacious good for the world? It sounds wonderful. In both theory and in practice, I care about the movement (from a distance) and hope it succeeds.The devil is in the details, as always. I provide the following critique basically in part because I feel guilty that others have done far more to try to help the world than I have, and the least I can do is provide my thoughts to help the movement get better. I caution that the below is based on an outsider's second-hand perspective. Therefore, it may/will get details wrong. But my hope is that the spirit is right.I have heard that there is a focus in EA lately on longterm problems. You can read a bit about longtermism in Simon Bazelon's post here. Intuitively, longtermism makes sense. EA, as a collective movement, has a finite amount of resources in the present day, yet it is uniquely (literally) temporally positioned. Therefore, as a % of all resources from hereon out, the current amount of resources should be used to take advantage of the unique temporal position to maximize future utility returns. To invert the hypo a bit—if the movement could go back in time, then using the money on anything else but, say, ending slavery or stopping the Holocaust (or, to be more EA about it, handing out vaccines/cures for the Bubonic plague) would be not just foolhardy, but ethically disastrous. Therefore, we must focus on fat-tail future risks that threaten future life.I like this thought a lot. I think it makes sense. I write to provide four discrete (but at times overlapping) concerns/cautions w/r/t longtermism. At most, the implication of these criticisms is that there may be a current overcorrection toward longtermism that should be somewhat corrected back in the direction of the prior distribution. This doesn't mean we stop focusing on longterm risks (far from it), but simply that we recalibrate the risk utility curve, and potentially allocate more resources toward present-ish causes. At the least, I think these criticisms sho...

It is the year 1632. The beautiful, remote town of Oberammergau nestles in the Bavarian Alps of Southern Germany - quietly and securely isolated from the turmoil and torment of the Bubonic plague that ravages the rest of Europe.A humble woodcarver, Kasper Schisler returns to his home in Oberammergau from his labours in a nearby village. But unbeknown to him and the other inhabitants of the town, he silently carries with him the seeds of a calamity that will wreak havoc, terror, and destruction on Oberammergau and its people. Within a year of this day, over one-quarter of the residents of the town will be dead - claimed by the dreaded plague, the Black Death. This will give rise to an extraordinary covenant with God that still resonates to this day.

It is unlikely that the American stock market will crash in 2022.Consumer spending is ramping back up, inflation is soaring, credit's cheap and easy, and politicians are so desperate to keep this hot potato from dropping on their watch that they'll go to nearly any length to avoid a crash.That said, there's no excuse not to be vigilant and extremely wary in these economically absurd times.We can only be certain about one thing: Uncertainty.With that in mind, let's look at ten of the most likely surprises that could crash the stock market despite all attempts to keep the house of cards rising ever higher.1. No more free moneyThe Biden administration has signaled its intention to stop printing as many stimulus trillions this year as they did last year. This is a good thing for the economy, but passive market extractors don't like it one bit.If the Dems fully shut down the printing press, it could trigger a market crash. But they won't. They'll slow it down for a bit, watch the markets totter, then fire it back up again and say, “Well hey, we tried.”Can you blame them? Wouldn't you print free money if you owned the money printer and could use it to get yourself re-elected?2. SnowpocalypseAll that is necessary to extinguish the human race is for winter to blow a little colder, a little longer.No, I'm not talking about a Day After Tomorrow situation.More of a Texas energy fiasco, which left 4.5 million without power and water, cost tens of billions, left thousands with crippling debt, and saw more than 200 people (including a baby) freeze to death.Anti-human corporations rarely let a good crisis go to waste, and several energy companies made billions off the two-week emergency, with some companies jacking prices 180X. (I'm of the opinion that corporatists should go to prison for putting profit over people, but “the free market is always right,” remember?)Don't pretend this can't and won't happen again.In fact, natural gas prices in Europe have already spiked 10+X this winter and the heavy snow hasn't even arrived yet.It's the same for New England.With all the accidental and purposeful supply chain shortages — and, let's be honest, corporations price-testing consumers who've been saving for the past year — if we have a particularly cold or long winter, it could be economically disastrous for millions of people.The problems are many and obvious: Most houses are poorly insulated and bleed heat; they don't have woodstoves; they don't have grid-independent backup generators; they don't provide occupants with a way to survive without reliance on faraway fossil fuel corporations. That's the whole point.If winter hits hard and long and the cost of heating spikes 100+X for the duration, millions of people will be forced into bankruptcy, which will almost certainly crash the stock market.3. Rising interest ratesThe Feds are desperate to slow down this “transitory” inflation. (Don't tell your Congressperson, but words actually have meanings. Transitory means brief, momentary, fleeting. If this yearlong inflation is just a passing cloud, then why are they so worked up about trying to fix it?)If politicians cared about the masses — which they do not — all they'd need to do is aggressively tax corporate profits and billionaire wealth, but such things are unthinkable in hyper-individualist America.That understood, their go-to mechanism is raising interest rates. But as Data-Driven Investor points out, a 1% interest rate hike could scythe 30–40% off the stock market. I don't expect them to do so, but if house, stock, and food prices jump another 30% in the year ahead, it's crazy to think that they'd rather crash the markets than tax the billionaires who benefit from all these outrageous price increases in the first place.4. COVID-22Sometimes I forget that we're still in the middle of a global pandemic and a quarter of the American population refuses to understand that vaccines aren't the hill to die on.But with any luck, Omicron will burn through the global population with minimal carnage and give us enough immunity to get back to normal-ish life.That said, another mutation could create a significantly more deadly variant that could make the Bubonic plague look like the man flu.(The big philosophical question I keep asking myself is: If COVID-19 had a 90+% infection rate and a 90+% kill rate, would there be any anti-vaxxers left or would they drop the charade and get serious about their health?)If a hyper-deadly coronavirus emerges this year, we'd likely see a stock market crash.5. Petty politiciansThere's obviously a huge amount of anti-vax hysteria on the far right, but there's also an outrageous amount of hysteria on the far left as well.All the social isolation has gone to our heads, with social media turning our brains to mush, causing a mental health crisis that could take a whole generation to flush from our collective system.Human beings are generally control freaks who love to tell others what to do, and in the year ahead, we may see totalitarian-leaning “progressives” try to lock down their populations once again.If they do so, expect riots in the streets as people reach a breaking point… followed by a market crash.6. Ch!na and/or RussiaThere's no telling what could happen to the markets if Putin does, indeed, decide to invade Ukraine this year.Same if Ch!na makes a play for the Taiwan Strait.Or if the US-Ch!na world continues to bifurcate and makes the rest of the world choose sides, essentially creating a two-economy Earth.7. Real estateThe Ch!nese housing bubble could implode at any moment.Same for Canada.And the United Kingdom.And much of the developed and developing world.Shelter prices have risen to lethal heights on the backs of lifetime debt for the masses, Airbnb's colonization of former family homes, and the hyper-financed institutional land-lorders who are turning the contributive working class into lifetime subscription serfs.But if one domestic real estate market falls, it could set off a chain reaction that could take down the stock market as well.8. CryptoBitcoin and his/her/brrr buddies are now a $3 trillion Ponzi scheme, and if something (or someone) spooks the markets bad enough, it could cause a sell-off that crashes the real market.(Think: The Fed announcing crypto is now illegal and anyone caught holding $BTC faces a $250,000 fine or five years in prison.)You never know, but I don't think this is going to happen quite yet — but once the Feds release their own dystopian surveillance currency, expect the digital dollar war to begin in earnest.9. Extreme weather eventsDang it, climate change, why can't you just be fake?2021 saw record fires out west and record flooding out east, plus hellish heat domes over Canada and Russia, and we can only expect such events to get worse in the year ahead.The question is: How much can the markets handle?As in, how much can speculators afford to gamble that the meme stock known as Tesla will tick a few points higher while they rack up credit card debt to pay for 24/7 air conditioning, more expensive food, and flood and/or fire insurance?If next summer's fires reach LA, or a bad drought scorches Midwest crops, or rains pummel Manhattan and flood the subway system, or the Texas oil refineries get wiped out by a hurricane, it could set off a chain reaction that crashes the market.Or Yellowstone could finally just put America out of its misery.10. A major cyberattackCyber attacks happen literally thousands of times every single day, but if an army of foreign hackers managed to hijack one of America's three power grids and keep it down for a week or more, there's a good chance we'd see a major market plunge.(Though, honestly hackers, the world would be a far better place if war criminal Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook went down forever. Just saying.)In conclusionThere's good news, dear reader: The stock market isn't everything.In fact, I sometimes wish we could get rid of grow-forever corporations and move forward solely with local/regional companies and partnerships and co-ops and for-benefits.Sure, multinational corporatism has proven wildly profitable for the hyper-elites (and brutally punishing on the working class and the environment), but there comes a point when you realize that capitalism has reached an inflection point and doesn't deliver the widest-spread wellbeing it promised.At some point, stability for the masses must take precedence over one more digital zero on the net worths of the spoiled few. The idea that an economy can grow forever inside a finite ecological system is not only dangerous and stupid but scientifically impossible.An added bonus? A tanking stock market gets rid of price inflation.In reality, the stock market won't even really be “crashing” — it'll just be resetting to temporary sanity… before blasting off to the moon again, leaving tens of millions of hard-working Americans burned and suffering in its wake.The modern global economy simply isn't designed to promote human flourishing. It exists to extract wealth from people and the planet, enslave the working class, and steal our time.This year, our work as common serfs is to build the world in which we want to live — a world free of unsustainable, anti-democratic, monopolistic, tax-evading multinational corporations.In other words, a world where stock market crashes simply don't matter to us, and don't affect us, because we no longer need them.
