Alternate Current Radio Presents: Boiler Room - Learn to protect yourself from predatory mass media

Only three days into Trump's second term there's a lot of media ground to cover with Inauguration, executive orders, techno-bro presence and much more! Bryan 'https://www.spreaker.com/the-boiler-room/' McClain, Adam 'https://www.spreaker.com/author/ruckus/' Clark and https://x.com/JamieLHanshaw hit the Boiler Room running discussing new research on how cellphones can affect developing youth's mental health, a book review on 'Clown World: Four Years Inside Andrew Tate's Manosphere' with Jamie, sci-fi oriented cult tactics blending with modern mythology, the predictable trajectory of the so-called TikTok ban, how the Israel/Palestine topics play into the changes in TikTok, looking at the Trump day one executive orders, the pardoning of the J6 political prisoners, the Biden years a farewell retrospective, techno-bro initiative called 'Project Stargate' as Warpspeed 2.0, leaving the World Health Organization (will it be like 4 years ago and divert funds to GAVI?), Janice McAfee's new 'crypto/AI' project in memory of John McAfee and rumors of Barak Obama leaving Michelle.
