Party Girls

<p>As promised, Jamie and Sam dive back into DNC '24 in all its splendor. Is AOC actually just a revolutionary communist sleeper cell waiting to take the throne before returning to her leftist roots? Is Obama still the smoothest talker around? Why did virtually no militants show up to throw down? And which of Jeffrey Epstein's besties took the stage at the Democrats' flagship event?

<p>As the third movie in Ti West's X trilogy, MaXXXine pulls out all the stops. Will Mia Goth's Maxine achieve the American dream or will she fall victim to a mysterious serial killer? Is she the ultimate lean in feminist, and is that good? Jamie discusses the movie's plot and themes with special guest Breck Gordon of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-lQjFitXq7lTN8UU8-_dgg">Pure Chaos Comedy</a> and <a href="https://www.breckgordonesl.org/">BG ESL</a>.</p> <p>Sign up now at <a href="https://patreon.com/partygirls">Patreon.com/partygirls</a> to get the full version of this episode, all other bonus content, Discord access, and a shout out on the pod!</p> <p>Follow us on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/party.girls.pod/">@party.girls.pod</a></p> <p>Leave us a nice review on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/party-girls/id1730574777">Apple podcasts</a> if you feel so inclined :)</p>

<p>Our Silicon Valley overlords are not content with merely ruling the world; they want us to think they are doing it for the greater good.

<p>Jamie and Sam are joined by author and academic Adam Greenfield to discuss his new book <a href="https://www.versobooks.com/products/2536-lifehouse">Lifehouse: Taking Care Of Ourselves in a World On Fire</a>, out now on Verso. In it, Greenfield makes a well-supported case that world governments will not be able to get a handle on climate change in time to stave off widespread catastrophe. He then examines past mutual aid efforts including Occupy Sandy in New York City, Common Grounds in post-Katrina New Orleans, post-austerity solidarity networks in Greece, and the programs of the Black Panther Party. In these moments, Greenfield identifies modes of solidarity and participatory democracy that might become the building blocks of a new society. In his final chapter, he sets forth a bold proposal for a confederated network of lifehouses...and that's most of what we talk about in this half!</p> <p>Buy the book: <a href="https://www.versobooks.com/products/2536-lifehouse">https://www.versobooks.com/products/2536-lifehouse</a></p> <p>Sign up as a supporter at <a href="https://patreon.com/partygirls">Patreon.com/partygirls</a> to get access to our Discord, a shout out on the pod, and access to all bonus content.</p> <p>Follow us on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/party.girls.pod/">@party.girls.pod</a></p> <p>Leave us a nice review on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/party-girls/id1730574777">Apple podcasts</a> if you feel so inclined :)</p>

<p>Comedian and podcaster Kate Willett joins us for a wide-ranging discussion of the San Francisco tech milieu that anointed JD Vance as Donald Trump's VP pick. Unlike the old school robber barons, the tech capitalists of today want more than money; they want to be gods. Via labor arbitrage, political meddling, and even seemingly innocuous ideas like "smart cities," figures like Peter Thiel, Curtis Yarvin, David Sacks, and Bilaji Srinivasan seek to immiserate the average person, dismantle the government and bring about an anarcho-capitalist dystopia ruled by neo-feudal warlords. But hey, at least they're never going to beat the couch fucking charges.</p> <p>Follow Kate on Instagram: @kate.willett</p> <p>Follow us on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/party.girls.pod/">@party.girls.pod</a></p> <p>Sign up as a supporter at <a href="https://patreon.com/partygirls">Patreon.com/partygirls</a> to get access to our Discord, a shout out on the pod, and access to all bonus content.</p> <p>Leave us a nice review on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/party-girls/id1730574777">Apple podcasts</a> if you feel so inclined :)</p>

<p>In the first ever edition of Party Girls Riot Tracker, Jamie and Sam discuss the student uprising in Bangladesh. Fed up over their limited prospects and the ruling party's corrupt quota system for government jobs, the students of Bangladesh recently took to the streets to demand better for themselves. To say that things escalated from there would be an understatement. The PG crew explain what's going on and read some theses on it developed by a comrade.</p> <p>To be featured on Party Girls Riot Tracker, email us at <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>!</p> <p>Sign up as a supporter at <a href="https://patreon.com/partygirls">Patreon.com/partygirls</a> to get access to our Discord, a shout out on the pod, and all bonus content, including the full version of this episode.</p> <p>Follow us on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/party.girls.pod/">@party.girls.pod</a></p> <p>Leave us a nice review on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/party-girls/id1730574777">Apple podcasts</a> if you feel so inclined :)</p>

<p>In this episode, Jamie and Sam talk about John 'Jack' Mazurek's March 29 bond hearing, in which he was granted a $75,000 bond and assigned to house arrest, a victory for the Stop Cop City movement. During that hearing, the prosecution spoke extensively about the Zapatistas and the "autonomous zone" in Chiapas, Mexico, as well as the Invisible Committee, the anonymous french ultra-left collective targeted by French anti-terror and law enforcement agencies. The PG crew unpacks, drawing historical parallels with the First Red Scare.</p> <p>Fundraiser for Jack's Legal Fees: <a href="https://givebutter.com/tLAvDE">https://givebutter.com/tLAvDE</a></p> <p>Report back from 2024 Zapatista Encuentro: <a href="https://crimethinc.com/2024/01/18/the-2024-zapatista-encuentro-report-back-and-footage">https://crimethinc.com/2024/01/18/the-2024-zapatista-encuentro-report-back-and-footage</a></p> <p>Produced by <a href="https://www.callawaythings.com/">Andrew Callaway</a></p> <p>Follow <a href="https://www.instagram.com/weelauneedefense_nyc/">@weelauneedefense_nyc</a> on Instagram to get the 411 on our report back/strategy discussion/social in NYC at 6:30pm on Thursday, April 11</p> <p>Sign up as a supporter at <a href="https://fans.fm/partygirls/manager/post/Patreon.com/partygirls">Patreon.com/partygirls</a> to get access to our Discord and a shout out on the pod.</p> <p>Follow us on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/party.girls.pod/">@party.girls.pod</a></p> <p>Leave us a nice review on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/party-girls/id1730574777">Apple podcasts</a> if you feel so inclined :)</p> <p>NOTE: An earlier version of this episode had a sync issue, which is now fixed</p>

<p>The Nationwide Summit to Stop Cop City in Tucson, AZ last month featured a panel called "Ending Our Addiction To Losing" in which three POC organizers reflected on how so-called "identity politics" mediate radical movements. How do we, as revolutionaries, deal with the ways race shapes our current reality without losing sight of the world we want to build?

<p>For the first ever edition of Party Girls Zine Club, Sam and Jamie discuss Inhabit: Instructions for Autonomy, a 2018 broadside (or little orange book, if you will) from Inhabit, which is not a mere media project, but "a collectively and anonymously written strategy emerging from a network of autonomous projects across North America." What do we make of Inhabit's steps to revolution? Why present speculative fiction in a programmatic context? What does this work of ultra-left thought get right, and where does it fall short?

<p>Jamie and Sam respond to the raids on Atlanta activists' homes that began this past Thursday and continued on Saturday. Why is this escalation in state repression so concerning and what can organizers do to fight back? They also respond in brief to finger-wagging coverage of Stop Cop City by a reactionary 'post-left' magazine whose politics have no real world constituency.</p> <p>Visit @Mainline_ATL on Instagram to watch one of the raid victims give press a tour of his home which was trashed by the Atlanta Police, GBI, ATF, and FBI on Saturday, Feb 10.</p> <p>Call into Fulton County Jail to demand Jack Mazurek be given proper nutrition: (404) 613-2024</p> <p>A Magical Place Called Cop City: <a href="https://compactmag.com/article/a-magical-place-called-cop-city">https://compactmag.com/article/a-magical-place-called-cop-city</a></p> <p>The Strategy Of Composition: <a href="https://illwill.com/composition">https://illwill.com/composition</a></p> <p>PARTY GIRLS now has its own RSS feed, plus the option to support the show for $5/month!

<p>In this very special episode of our series on science fiction and futurism, Jorge and Aaron are joined by Derek Murphy and Mitchell Zemil, the creators of "Preserving Worlds" on Means TV. "Preserving Worlds" is a documentary travelogue through aging and beloved virtual worlds. Using narration, interviews, and an impeccable, nostalgic vibe featuring archival and in-game footage, and a laidback, synthesized retro soundtrack, this series is a hauntological survey of what was, what could have been, and perhaps what can still be in the age of the Internet and social media: from Myst Online, to Doom, to Second Life, and even Final Fantasy XIV. The gang and their wonderful guests discuss the dialectics and contradictions of virtual worlds under late-stage capitalism, the individuals whose lives have been changed by these communities, and what the grim future of our cyberpunk dystopia holds for the Internet, social media, and virtual worlds.</p> <p><a href="https://means.tv/programs/preservingworlds">Check out "Preserving Worlds"</a> on Means TV (And if you already aren't a subscriber of <a href="https://means.tv/">Means</a>, become one and support worker-owned media!)</p> <p>Follow <a href="https://twitter.com/DerekLMurphy">Derek</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/MitchellZemil">Mitchell</a> on social media</p> <p>*** And regarding Jamie's plug at the top for her live show with Jake Flores featuring musical guest B.I.M.B.O.S., <a href="https://www.seetickets.us/event/THE-WOKE-MOB/564089">grab your tickets here</a> ***</p> <p>Follow us on Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/ELCPod">@ELCpod</a></p> <p>Follow us on IG: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/everybodylovescommunism/">everybodylovescommunism</a></p> <p>Like what you heard?

Fred teaches Architecture and Urban Design at Morgan State University’s School of Architecture and Planning. We discuss what exactly was Russian Cosmism and how did this inspire the Soviet Union's quest to explore the stars? How did Wernher von Braun's Nazi past inform how Americans conceptualize space exploration? How did the military and Disney help sanitize the image of a Nazi SS officer to the American public? Who was Jesse Strickland and why has he become yet another "hidden figure" of space exploration? How are Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos fundamentally different in their approach to space exploration? Is space exploration fundamentally colonialist?

<p>Friend of the show Alex Gendler (<a href="https://twitter.com/achilleselbow">@achilleselbow</a>) joins us to discuss Adam Curtis's latest BBC docu-series, "Russia 1985-1999: TraumaZone: What it felt like to live through the collapse of communism and democracy." Lacking the distinctive voiceovers and musical cues of Curtis's other films, this series relies solely on footage captured by BBC film crews as the Soviet Union collapsed and was swiftly replaced by a hyper-capitalist, authoritarian oligarchy. Did he get it right? Is it art? Do we miss the Nine Inch Nails interludes?

<p>Jamie and Aaron discuss "Emily the Criminal" (2022), the new movie starring and produced by Aubrey Plaza and directed by John Patton Ford. In this gritty, low budget thriller, a 30-something art school drop-out (Plaza) with $70,000 of student loan debt and a minor criminal record breaks bad after a sexy swindler (Theo Rossi) introduces her to the lucrative world of credit card fraud.
