In the latest of our ongoing collaboration between Varn and Sean, the guys sit down to look at the multiple complicating factors behind the ongoing food crisis which has seen it's most striking culmination with the overthrow of the Sri Lankan government last week. How has capital shifted production, distribution and consumption of food crops? What kind of frailties has this produced for global grain supplies? And what are the likely complications as the crisis ratchets up in coming months? 2022-07-13 10:00:00 +0000 UTC View Post

Jake "Feral Jokes" Flores and Andy continue our very specific collaboration of giving positive reviews to controversial works of sf! This time it's David Cronenberg's CRIMES OF THE FUTURE!
