Legos and Lethality, the new age of war propaganda, ft. Caleb of Kill the Computer

War propaganda has always been strange...

But now it's got Wii Sports and Legos in it.

Caleb of Kill the Computer and 60 Minute Drill joins us to talk about the "meme war" that has raged parallel to the Iran war.

First we check out the White House's slop: warning, not for the faint of heart. Then we look at Explosive Media, an Iranian-state backed media collective's, use of AI Legos to call Trump, Hegseth, and anyone else they hate every insult under the sun.

What does this mean for the future of communication? What does this mean for the future of war? What does this mean for our own sanity? Find out here.
