## Description

> Riley, Milo, and Nate talk housing, living, and building with Dezeen's own India Block (@indiablock). We start with a start up, then go through Help to Buy and the enormous ponzi schemes the Tory government keeps setting up to provide us with basic human needs (instead of, you know, just providing for the needs), and conclude talking about the only kind of thing left we can build, which is some stupid ass tulip that nobody asked for but I guess we're getting anyway because a billionaire wanted it?

This episode of Trashfuture was published on Tue, Jun 2nd, 2020, and
 runs for about 82 minutes.

## Description

> Look, lots of things have happened that have made the content of this week's episode a bit out of date. This week's episode features Riley, Milo, Hussein, and Alice catching up on the Cummings scandal, the abomination of a tech house DJ collective made up of bankers, and a bit more. However, we also have an extended interview with freelance journalist Sanjana Varghese (@sanjanamv) on the topic of the socialist Indian state of Kerala and its success with controlling covid-19. We hope you enjoy.

MILF Check

There are many kinds of connoisseurs and experts in this world - there are oenophiles, bibliophiles, turophiles, and philes of all shapes and sizes - but Milo Edwards is a man with a very specific taste and on "Da Youtube Zone" he will frequently employ his very special expertise to the benefit of his fellow hosts and the hogs. The MILF Check is an objective ranking of the sexual desirability of any woman of a certain age - the scale rates them scientifically on the basis of fuckability without regard to ideology or moral judgments leading to such famous MILF checks as Ghislaine Maxwell and former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton. Mr. Edwards' ratings are always correct and are not subject to appeal as he is a thoroughly research subject-matter expert.

## The Nature of MILFS

Many are unaware, but MILF is actually an acronym that stands for "Mothers I'd Like to Fuck." According to the other wiki {wikipedia.org)...

> Linguist Laurel A. Sutton states that MILF was one of 9 terms for "attractive women" collected from undergraduates at a large linguistics class at Berkeley in the spring of 1992. Stereotypical users would be "college students from East Contra Costa, California". The term was widely popularized by the film *American Pie* (1999), where John Cho's character (simply credited as 'MILF Guy No. 2') used the term to refer to Jennifer Coolidge's character Jeanine Stifler.
>
>

The term "MILF" has grown organically and has become a popular term for use on pornographic streaming websites along with "stepsister", "dryer", and "how to rotate PDF". The acronym does not reflect modern usages, however, as MILF has come to refer to a broader category of women than just mothers, but women between approximately 30-50 years of age. Milo Edwards further defines the category to women of the leisure classes, though this has been controversial. The term is closely related to "cougar" though that applies to older women that are in sexual pursuit of younger men. MILFs interested in a personal rating should not DM Milo directly.

Riley's Commie Book Club: The Amateur

This episode of Trashfuture was published on Thu, Apr 12th, 2018, and
 runs for about 57 minutes.

## Description

> Welcome to the second installation of RCBC. Today I'm talking about yet another book off Verso, The Amateur by Andy Merrifield. While Merrifield is currently a fellow in Human Geography at Cambridge, he's spent much of his life as an independent thinker outside the system.
>
>
> This book serves as both a memoir of his life and an argument against "professionalism as ideology." As the market creeps in to more spheres of life, an obsession with box ticking and targets posing as hard nosed realism limited not only what could be done, but what could be thought. Life, therefore, is not made better by rigorous systematisation, but crueller and dumber.
>
>
> Like Psychopolitics before it, The Amateur informs a lot of how we see society on TF.
>

## Description

> In a preview of this week's bonus, we’re reviewing a startup called WhiteHat, digesting a terrible Giles Coren wankfest about Oxford admissions, and—most importantly—speaking to friend of the show and biology teacher Devon (@Devon\_OnEarth) about the state-mandated ‘British Values’ education.

Capitalism Is Sucking Itself Off feat. Grace Blakeley

This episode of Trashfuture was published on Mon, Apr 29th, 2019, and
 runs for about 69 minutes.

## Cast

* Riley Quinn
* Milo Edwards
* Hussein Kesvani
* Grace Blakeley

## Description

> Why is it that there are so many billion-dollar startups that ultimately don’t do anything? Under normal circumstances, Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo\_Edwards), and Hussein (@HKesvani) would just make a joke about Yu-Gi-Oh dragon dick in order to describe it. However, this week we were lucky enough to get expert insight from Grace Blakeley (@graceblakeley), the New Statesman’s economics commentator. So, learn all about the inherent contradictions in the value-extraction approaches of this newer and dumber capitalism—explained of course through the usual genre of joke (we never, ever, ever change our format).

Britainology 20: London Finance Geezers feat. Matt Edwards

 runs for about 10 minutes.

## Cast

* Riley Quinn
* Milo Edwards
* Hussein Kesvani
* Nate Bethea
* Alice Caldwell-Kelly

## Description

> This is perhaps something of a combination of Britainology and a regular TF episode in which we've brought on Matt Edwards, Milo's (much) older brother, who worked as a foreign exchange trader in London brokerages in the 1990s. We learn about the geezer-rific work environment of a bunch of guys yelling into a phone about numbers, some of the antics they got up to, what's changed since, and--perhaps on a more serious note--Matt's personal experience with what happened in Greece post-2008, a country he's worked in extensively. We very much hope you enjoy this.

Riley's Commie Book Club - Marxism and the Philosophy of Science: A Critical History

This episode of Trashfuture was published on Thu, Jun 27th, 2019, and
 runs for about 64 minutes.

## Description

> As of next month, all episodes of Commie Book Club will be published on on our Patreon feed... BUT without any paywall in front of them at all. So they'll be free each month with no delay.
>
>
> If you nonetheless want to support us anyway and get next month's book club early, check out www.patreon.com/trashfuture/
>
>
> Another instalment of Riley's Commie Book Club delivered to you, our delightful and beloved patrons. This month, Riley decided to take it in a bit of a different direction, and talk about an under-discussed field of study, Marxism and the Philosophy of Science. How should we think about knowledge, what is knowable, and how these questions are related to history and power? To get to these questions, he reads from Helena Sheehan's Marxism and the Philosophy of Science: A Critical History.
>
>
>
> The focus of the book is on charting Marxist approaches to the philosophy of science from Engels to the mid 20th century, and while this is interesting, Riley focuses more on the underlying concepts. He absolutely encourages you to look into the book and the actual history it tells, though! It's linked here: (link omitted)

Gwenevere Aurum

Gwenevere Aurum is the Queen of Aurumburg, and the wife of Gideon Aurum.

## Appearance

Gwenevere has long, golden blonde hair, with icy blue eyes, with a darker blue ring around the outside.

Gwenevere tends to dress modestly, as to not flaunt her wealth. While her clothes are of high quality, the decorations and patterns are simple. Red robes with a small gold trim, and little ornament.

## Personality

Gwenevere often resents her newfound high status, and wishes to return to her simpler roots, however, she still accepts her new status.

Some may say that she is the only reason the Aurum family manages to keep itself together.

## Relationships

Gideon Aurum - Husband

Zalakargon - One of the few people who knows of his existence

Gareth Aurum - Oldest son

Ellawin Aurum - Middle Daughter

Alastair Aurum Youngest Son

## History

Gwenevere was the one in charge of the creation of Alms Day, in an attempt to spread goodness to the people of Aurumburg. This formal day was created after she worked with local handmaids to improve the city behind Gideon's back, but was later found out. Gideon liked this idea, and tasked her with creating and running the formal celebration.

In her younger years, she was living in the region while struggling through poverty. During this time, she met Gideon Aurum, who later went on to be her husband, as well as partner in the foundation of Aurumburg.

> We are joined by George Pearkes, macro strategist at Bespoke Invest and all around financial funnyman, to peek under the hood of the world's largest owner of assets: BlackRock.

Also, we talk about Uber's decision to drop its self driving car division and the thrilling conclusion (?) to Laguna Beach's billionaire battlefront, as bond king Bill Gross's war with his neighbour enters its denouement.

Okay, maybe this type of failson is uniquely confined to the Thatcher family. That’s right, Maggie’s son Mark tried to take over Equatorial Guinea in 2004 with the help of a dead-eyed SAS madman and a South African mercenary named something like Jeep vander Honk. We brought on Joe Kassabian (@jkass99), host of the Lions Led by Donkeys podcast, to discuss this with Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo\_Edwards), Nate (@inthesedeserts), and Alice (@AliceAvizandum).

Aurumburg/Slums

The **Slums** of Aurumburg are the most run down, hastily built, and lowest class areas of Aurumburg. Mostly inhabited by workers not involved with the gold refining process, it has a wide variety of people and services to offer.

The buildings are Primarily made of leftover materials from other building projects, including scrap wood and broken stone. This leads to rugged looking buildings. Some of the "richer" citizens purchase higher quality materials for use in business fronts or primary residences. These buildings are of similar material, but have more consistent design. Buildings typically have wooden shingles on the roof. These buildings are often prone to fires.

The roads are essentially dirt paths, worn down by travel. When it rains, the roads get very muddy.

A single cobblestone paved road connects the main gate entrance on the eastern side of town to the gatehouse bridge crossing the river. This road is paved due to the high volume of traffic for import and export shipping. The bare minimum was paved for the road, leading to a circular path in the center of the Slums being half paved and half dirt.

## History

Within the Slums, two factions began to emerge. One side stuck to the "bottom-feeder" nature of scavenging what they could get from the upper districts, while the other decided to break free and build the Slums up from the dirt, into a more respectable area.
