Stain-Resistant Philosophizing
When a group of idealistic young actors film a commercial for The Clothing Company, they discover that the clothes they’re advertising are completely stain-resistant, but their souls, unfortunately, are not.

Necrotic Public Radio
Societal rot deepens and personal rot is inevitable. The amoral cruelties of nature are compounded by the immoral cruelties of late capitalism. Only one thing can soothe you — public radio. Its dulcet reportage and lightly humorous anecdotes constitute a final, flickering joy. Necrotic Public Radio is brought to you by your desire for the world to be calm and comprehensible, unto its end, or yours: whichever comes first.

Reflections on the World as We Made It
A wurlitzer-soaked love/hate letter to climate change, suffused with the essence of Bataille’s Accursed Share. Only the end of the world can create an opportunity for a new beginning.
