Shanti Singh was a great guest. If she lived on the right coast i'd argue for her to take Amber's spot.

What’s wrong with amber

I liked her a lot too, but Matt and especically Felix need to STFU more often when a guest is speaking, especially female guests although I've noticed it with male guests too. They are not *that* funny that every single fucking point needs to turn into a three-minute tangent about some minor youtube figure or yet another encapsulation of Matt's marxist philosophy of things.

She literally had to redirect the conversation *herself* multiple times to stuff they had specifically just asked her to talk about

I mean yeah, very much so in this past episode -- you have a guest who both worked in tech AND is an activist in SF housing, we really don't need to hear YOUR take on these subject based on the fact that you visited facebook once and read some articles
― Fedora Dostoyevsky (man alive), Thursday, 29 March 2018 16:24 (six years ago) link
Yeah, Shanti is great.
The riffing gets annoying(sometimes Matt, usually Felix) and they’d do better to tamp down on the morning zoo tendencies when actually having a guest on who knows her shit.
I’m seeing their live show on Sunday, so we’ll see how that goes.

Virgil seems to be much more assertive and generally a presence in the recent, west coast editions. Does being out of Brooklyn help? Maybe its having the chance to catch up with his mom Alexis.

I hate theaters with food on principle but Alamo is the least bad of the lot.

Good thread on their (pretty icky tbh) abortion discussion from the last ep, one of the few times I missed Amber
“Abortion, technically, still is the red line.”I’ve yelled about how leftist men are completely incapable of effectively contemplating or discussing the politics surrounding abortion but this segment of Chapo was a train wreck that is illustrative of what I’ve been saying.— the arizona rose (@oppenfailer) April 10, 2018

Lately I'm just finding them harder to listen to in general, but I have spent nearly 200 hours of my life with them -- more than some people I consider friends. So it's not totally surprising. I feel sort of like their grand point (an important one) has been made very effectively and they're just rehashing it while acting as the sort of gossip podcast for the world of second-tier centrist political media figures and the extremely-online contingent.

re: that thread, there are some leaps
Like:
There are individual democrats who deeply believe in Roe v. Wade and want to protect it but to think that there’s something natural in a liberal ideology that requires abortion as an issue is just ignorant. It’s 100% negotiable for the center left.— the arizona rose (@oppenfailer) April 10, 2018
doesn't contradict Matt's line about being pro-choice - that they're so weak ideologically makes them susceptible to finding compromise and wiggle room. She's also conflating "Democrat" and "liberal" in those posts - the Democratic party line is that you "don't have to be pro-choice" but that's because Pelosi and Schumer still want to sell the idea of a Blue Dog contingent and a big tent with centrists and etc..

we need to hear from ernest
FWIW my impression is that there is a pretty strong divide among the center-left over whether abortion is an absolute redline or not. There are definitely otherwise center-ish democrats, especially but not exclusively women, who think the party should never back a non-pro-choice candidate.
― Fedora Dostoyevsky (man alive), Monday, 16 April 2018 01:36 (six years ago) link
So I think "it's 100% negotiable for the center left" is kind of a simplification. There are many centrists for whom it is non-negotiable.
― Fedora Dostoyevsky (man alive), Monday, 16 April 2018 01:38 (six years ago) link
A majority, I think! What a crock of shit to claim that anti-choice has a place in the mainstream of the democratic party. Scum like Lipinski are rightfully on the margins, and widely reviled
