Epstein Opens Doors (Or Not)

The boys reconnect. Adam reflects on early fatherhood, Mattio documents his trip to Mexico City to see Ye, and both chronicle the absolute abysmal moral panic unleashed by the Epstein Files.

We’re back after an extended hiatus, Adam’s paternity leave included, and a massive thanks to the subscribers who bore with us through this transitional phase. “Going legit with a bigwig media gig has its upsides, like making money,” says the boss man. “But it’s also made it harder to keep up with the projects that first launched me to infamy. I’m still trying to strike the balance, and a fussy baby boy isn’t making that any easier.”The easiest way to get us to prioritize this project, of course, is to subscribe. So try to do that, if you can, to both this Patreon and the Safety Propaganda Substack, which aggregates all the content in one place.We also dig into recent foreign-policy developments and what Adam considers the closest thing to a bona fide masterpiece of entertainment art: the HBO/BBC series Industry, which entered its fourth season last week.SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PATREONOpener: Pet Shop Boys "Opportunities (Let's Make Lots of Money)Strapping Young Lad "All Hail the new Flesh"Sopor Aeternus "The Encoded Cloister"Gray Matter "Burn No Bridges"

Adam's friend and Tablet Mag colleague, the European politics writer and Ukraine expert Vlad Davidzon, joins the show to discuss the state of the war between Russia and Ukraine. Vlad is a politics and war writer but also something of a bon vivant. He keeps notebooks of drawings and collages that are quite good.Vlad phoned in from the Unsafe House, the art collective (of sorts) of none other than painter and former Kirac member Tarik Sadouma. Tarik makes a brief appearance.SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PATREON https://www.patreon.com/posts/asgardsrei-w-134279195?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkOST:DK Energerytk "Egepretkv" https://music.apple.com/us/album/%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B3%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%BA/1681714424?i=1681714871Kroda "Hasta la Muerte" https://youtu.be/E_m481QjdyM?si=WWm4uWX7tkmkB745Monument Strakha "I Know Why" https://ultrasomnambulau.bandcamp.com/album/never-cryPeste Noire live at Asgardsrei https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGVdCUdGS1wChervi "Evil Game" https://ultrasomnambulau.bandcamp.com/album/evil-game-2LINKS:Check out Vlad's new Substack https://vladislavdavidzon.substack.com/ The Unsafe House https://www.the-unsafe-house.com/Check out Vlad's art https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/arts-letters/articles/vlad-davidzon-ukraine-notebooks-art
