In his backyard talk tonight, Matt actually regrets posting that, and is talking himself thru some sorta Hegelian talk about why twitter is garbage for anything other than basic socializing, and even then it ain't great.

i have a friend who’s really smart and says he admires Nathan’s writing for being v clear for being really clear and effective. even if it’s cringe to me, i can see how that didactic style is popular. it’s similar to the arg that listeners would be ramming vans through crowded intersections if they weren’t radicalized by the pod. takes all kinds

have nothing to add but NJR's "forced incredulous laughter while making a point he thinks is kinda edgy" thing is 99% of the reason i can't listen to lefty podcasts, none of these people know how to speak into a microphone like it's their job

feel like gwen has discovered a shtick to create her own platform, but it's not quite enough of a hook to get an interview or quote anywhere of note
also, bernie dropping out and the fact they're kind of wavering between occasional interviews and just talking about bad NBC shows with guests when that's a different type of content might be a reason

This mediocre podcast is not a “pipeline to the alt right.” The moral panic out there these days is reaching absurd levels.

Petty media/activist feuds being the motivating force driving a lot of coverage of any outsider group(from podcasts to the Bernie campaign) would explain a lot.

Oh so this was when he had his insight whilst tripping:
FUCK. Just hit me that I have to actually read Ulysses.— grillpilled_cushbomb (@cushbomb) April 25, 2020
What brought this on is that I just experienced a moment of pure ecstatic peace that had no name, then in the split second it was over I thought “that’s what it’s like to have just finished Ulysses.” Now I have to read it to see if I was right.— grillpilled_cushbomb (@cushbomb) April 25, 2020

I cannot listen to audio of Ben Sasse talking, even if it is for them to roast. He's a particular brand of dumb that comes from Nebraska, he is bad, and he should not be allowed to speak in public.

I've been really enjoying True Anon lately, except for the Azealia episode which I obviously skipped. maybe they've toned it down a bit, or I've just gotten more used to them? their breakdown of the Tolentino saga was pretty good I thought

started listening to this week’s episode and gave up, the shit about “oh, the 1619 Project is ridiculous and historians are really worried about it being taught in schools and people only like it because Ben Shapiro hates it” - fuck off, even if it’s flawed do you think current standards of historical education are going to be lowered by this?
