Every now and again, I discover a quote I deem relevant enough to share. Less often, I’m moved enough to share most of the original source. In this Bonus Episode, I read from one of those rare finds: FDR's 1938 Message to Congress on Curbing Monopolies.

Other than a snippet from KMFDM's "Attack," I play: the muzak version of "The Girl From Ipanema", which was featured in the movie The Blues Brothers.

Context is everything. Sadly, context is often lost in the transition to digital communications. We need to remember that, especially when the context is not happy, cheery, with nary a care in the world. Hence, Episode 189: Memento Mori, Motherfacer.

In this episode, all the stories are of people I personally knew. Call it anecdata if you need, it makes no nevermind to me. Because it's such a short episode, I've provided a little non-Fuckbook tale after the credits for your amusement.

I did play the voice of Mark Zuckerfuck himself giving "testimony" before Congress, as to the way they make their money. I also played KMFDM backing Tristan Harris summarizing how the tech community makes their money. I close, as I often do, with Julie and Rolf and the Campfire Gang doing "Over the Rainbow."
