  • Summary

  • We pop off the top of the show with a little memento mori vis-à-vis the untimely demise of the DHS' Disinfo Squad which was a recent feature here on the Ow. Then we check in on La France and their holy war against the mongrel English language via the shock troops of the 21st-century culture wars: gamers. Then we spend the rest of the show trying to make sense of this country's insane gun culture and it's relationship to the internet, school-shootings, and tech-based efforts to redress it that are proving woefully inadequate. As part of this, we dive into Mack's excellent recent piece in Gizmodo that you can read here about fancy new VR interventions in police training and their effects or lack-thereof on our boys in blue.
