The 90s version of PC was mocked the most for the phrase "vertically challenged" iirc

I find all their Epstein glee pretty distasteful but Belden is a unique kind of edgelord awful

lmao here I was thinking they were canny for keeping Greenwald at arm's length for the last while and then...
at least it's on the subject he's going to be the least annoying about

glenn is actually good on brazilian politics imo
― bookmarkflaglink (jim in vancouver), Monday, 29 July 2019 21:02 (four years ago) link

This greenwald story is bananas. Honestly massive respect to him for this.

Yeah, that was a good segment. for once I genuinely learned a lot

There's gotta be a better thread to discuss this stuff, but I'm guessing the Epstein segments are, uh, not going to settle down anytime soon
Exclusive: Jeffrey Epstein once spoke to scientists and others of a plan to seed the human race with his DNA by impregnating scores of women at his New Mexico ranch https://t.co/8nsw9HSY3R— The New York Times (@nytimes) July 31, 2019

“He would abruptly change the subject, A.D.D.-style, dismiss an observation with an adolescent wisecrack,” Mr. Pinker said.
this has been quoted in a number of articles now, but it actually seems like it might not be a negative on Epstein? kind of sounds like Pinker is a blowhard in conversation and he's pissy about how people would cut off his brilliant rants with jokes

almost couldn't believe that headline but eventually settled on it making sense, and of course he was interested in eugenics, because why not

I saw Krystal Ball from The Hill on TMBS, she's good! The Hill is establishment centrist media?

I think The Hill's shtick is it's 90% inside baseball and capital water cooler gossip

The Hill is an intentionally dry DC trade publication. I wouldn’t call it a gossip rag or even close; that’s the Axios/Politico schtick.
― El Tomboto, Saturday, 3 August 2019 18:23 (four years ago) link
It’s a clickfarm/aggregator that designs its headlines to generate maximum twitter discussion (aka rage)

Dumb, but I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner.
Nice fiery appearance from Michael Moore on that recent live one. The generational differences between them (eg MM's refusal to totally dismiss Obama) was interesting.
― Simon H., Wednesday, 7 August 2019 01:32 (four years ago) link
Amazing that Moore doesn't have a podcast in this environment.

I was so fuckin’ exhausted I stayed in the hotel. Means TV filmed the show, apparently. I got to meet one of the SF guys on Friday night at one of the parties.

Moore was good, but the chapos really need to learn by now not to constantly laugh loudly into the mic during a live show. Three years now, amateur hour is over.

Means TV filmed the showyep they were definitely there. I bet they’re sitting around wondering if they should upload the part where the audience spontaneously broke into chanting “Kill Jeff Bez0s” — which, cathartic as it was, could potentially draw heat were it to go viral I guess lol

dece little write up about the SF/DS/Trillbillies southern tour:https://theoutline.com/post/7755/street-fight-district-sentinel-trillbillies-tour-reviewI guess the KJB chant wasn’t as spontaneous as I’d thought.

They're exactly that dense but the pranker's interview with Jacobin is pretty eye rolling. Striking a blow against the credibility of right wing media! As if anyone writing checks for Quillette or the goons who read it give a fuck. Retractions never matter, what people remember is the initial inflammatory article.

they're a lot more accessible, in my experience
and it's more fun to goof on the broad strokes than to cynically yell about the minutiae of the top-runners and their platforms, as much as I enjoy Matt doing that

I was going to be in the crowd checking out Sanders at the state fair yesterday, but the weather was rainy early and the crowds too large. Those damn media elites and their special area? Keeping the candidates away from the common man.
