This week we go grocery shopping with AI Drake, we take a walking tour of every single place you’ve ever seen on AirBnB, we check on Dril as his native Twitter habitat collapses around him, and we join a larger-than-expected study group at LoFi Girl’s house.

Bay Area friends! Or people who are really into traveling! We're releasing a broadsheet poster/publication called: “Go Deep/What Your Favorite Photoshop Tool Says About You” and to help usher this poster into the world, we've asked a few friends to give short presentations/talks/performances/visuals on the theme of “Odd Pedagogy.” We will also introduce the publication, maybe show some strange educational movie montages, and DJ YNG GMA will play far out PBS-core tunes to round out the evening.

Suggested dress code is “NOVA/Ways of Seeing/Encarta97/BYOT(Bring your own turtleneck)"! We hope to see you there!

Reception at 6pm, program at 7pm, hanging out afterwards with DJ YNG GMA.

Friday, April 7th • 6-9pm Eternal Now, 2419 San Pablo Ave, Oakland

This week, we travel to the mid-Pacific garbage island created by $30 Million worth of Funko Pops; we raise all kinds of wrenches in salute to Tradeswoman magazine; we contemplate Spotify's recent efforts to TikTok itself to death, and we sit down with America's hottest invasive species: Copi!

Thanks babies! 

This week we walk down the CGI pathways of the uncanny valley where we meet real people trying to make people think they’re AI, we meet fake AI that other people are trying to make real people, we meet a very blue person stuck somewhere on Na’Vi way—and then we talk about mahjong! 

We're @40000000000000dpi on Instagram—and, if you want rundowns of the big ideas from each episode, extended show notes and outtakes, and other bonus content, follow us on Substack at 40trilliondpi.substack.com!

This week: we get into the erotic fiction compilation, Look Homeward Erotica and the history of marketing the lives of "real housewives;" we take trip into the surreal hellscape that is the Goth Target inside Horizon Worlds; and finally, we time travel back back back to the origins of FABRIC as clothing and as tool and technology! Thanks for joining us!
