What is it that you think grifter means, Julio?

Andrew Farrell, Saturday, 17 August 2019 13:16 (four years ago) link

I’ve muted Weetabix purely because I function better without ever seeing her smirky avi.

suzy, Saturday, 17 August 2019 13:20 (four years ago) link

weetman is absolutely an attention-grifter -- i'm not sure if she's monetised this or not as i don't follow her work

mark s, Saturday, 17 August 2019 13:28 (four years ago) link

she's the Iceberg Slim of melt attention-grifting!

calzino, Saturday, 17 August 2019 13:39 (four years ago) link

Monetising it is kind of important!

Andrew Farrell, Saturday, 17 August 2019 13:41 (four years ago) link

xxxp otm, she’s grotesque

gyac, Saturday, 17 August 2019 13:55 (four years ago) link

she was trying to monetise it but... came last (albeit taking enough votes off the LDs to gift labour a seat. which you simply love to see)

It's like none of youse want a new way of doing politics

PMS change (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 17 August 2019 14:19 (four years ago) link

She totally displays similar tendencies to grifters you see on twitter. She just hasn't had the chance to do it.

Owen Jones was attacked:

This is a bit dramatic, so firstly I’m fine, but last night - when I was celebrating my birthday - I was attacked, along with my friends, in a blatant premeditated assault.

part of making britain great again is rewinding somewhat back to the macho warfare state 50's when you could kick a gay to death and get some fish and chips on't way home, and the state would consider you a slightly errant but basically a good citizen.

Not the first time OJ has been attacked, nor the last. Interesting to see which extremely online centrist journalists, who spend tons of time monstering him on twitter, suddenly not even have a few words of sympathy. David Cunttick though, ugh.

gyac, Saturday, 17 August 2019 18:06 (four years ago) link

But as I’ve said about OJ before, I find it very hard to dislike him given the shit he gets, especially as the most controversial stuff (classism in journalism, proliferation of right wing views in the media) is also the most otm.

Recommend Sean Birchell’s Beating the Fascists (though not uncritically) for a militant case for anti-fascism.

Bidh boladh a' mhairbh de 'n láimh fhalaimh (dowd), Saturday, 17 August 2019 18:15 (four years ago) link

If you see David Quantick calling OJ ‘Squealer’ on social media, report it for homophobia because that’s what it is.

suzy, Saturday, 17 August 2019 18:27 (four years ago) link

Wish Swells was still here rather than that arch conservative m/c cunt.

calzino, Saturday, 17 August 2019 18:49 (four years ago) link

Sorry bout the class watfare, should use different words to despise that cunt.

calzino, Saturday, 17 August 2019 18:50 (four years ago) link

Swells was pretty m/c too?

Boulez, vous couchez avec moi? (Tom D.), Saturday, 17 August 2019 18:57 (four years ago) link

Probably, albeit via Bradford.

calzino, Saturday, 17 August 2019 19:11 (four years ago) link

Or Swindon even! But he wasn't Maconie or Quantick, thank fuck.

calzino, Saturday, 17 August 2019 19:14 (four years ago) link

Swells’ dad was a company director. Although I worked with DQ when I first came to London, I have no idea about his early life. I’d like to think Swells, who was my friend and who I miss terribly, would be Team OJ.

suzy, Saturday, 17 August 2019 19:17 (four years ago) link

I couldn't for the life of me imagine such an inspired talent turning into a bad parody of a fat old reactionary tory with a humour tumour, like most comedians shit nme hacks.

calzino, Saturday, 17 August 2019 20:01 (four years ago) link

:o

mark s, Saturday, 17 August 2019 20:08 (four years ago) link

yeah but you aren't like the rest of those ******* *****!

Don't normally listen to podcasts but this might be good.

The next British govt looks set to pursue a No Deal Brexit. Dublin is starting to accept this will mean border checks.@MichaelAodhan tells us what it means for families in N.Ireland and @RonanMcCrea breaks down how we got here in this new bonus episode: https://t.co/l7M0dM3qSi

you....dont listen to second captains?

look we dont always agree on politics but cmon now outside of that i had hoped my word was gold

Just rationally looking for a broad church of opinions, like I always do

in my experience football podcasts are torturous interminable noise that make me think death is underrated. There might be some good ones but it's a door I'm never going to open again.

calzino, Sunday, 18 August 2019 09:50 (four years ago) link

all podcasts are bad

im led by donky (||||||||), Sunday, 18 August 2019 09:53 (four years ago) link

in this ted talk I will

I accidentally caught about a minute of That Peter Crouch Podcast once on 5live once. Footballers are bad overindulged dimwits and podcasts are bad.

podcasts = technological backward step

what's wrong with being centre-y? (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 18 August 2019 10:08 (four years ago) link

not a huge fan of technologically forward steps these days mind you

mark s, Sunday, 18 August 2019 10:30 (four years ago) link

My podcast is good and I don't talk on it all.

mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Sunday, 18 August 2019 10:37 (four years ago) link

actually I'm not sure if it even counts as a podcast

mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Sunday, 18 August 2019 10:37 (four years ago) link

I've listen to a couple of decent Tooze ones in recent times. Some of the lefty ones on twitter I've clicked on before are fucking awful.

calzino, Sunday, 18 August 2019 10:39 (four years ago) link

used to love Cooke's Letter From America which wasn't a podcast and was probably bad. But liked the ASMR qualities of his voice more than his observations on golf and the oddities of his US fascist friends.

calzino, Sunday, 18 August 2019 10:47 (four years ago) link

xp yeah there’s no great ones out there, all though I definitely do listen to bits of reel Politik while cleaning or whatever. Trash future is unlistenable, they’re all so smug, ugh.

gyac, Sunday, 18 August 2019 11:00 (four years ago) link

Under the assumption of no deal I am on the lookout for anything that might give a picture of how chaotic or not it might turn out to be.

I hardly ever listen to podcasts, not a talk radio person anyway.

xyzzzz__, Sunday, 18 August 2019 11:04 (four years ago) link

I've never listened to a podcast on any subject in my life.

Boulez, vous couchez avec moi? (Tom D.), Sunday, 18 August 2019 11:16 (four years ago) link

mine are all about my book so you should start with them

mark s, Sunday, 18 August 2019 11:20 (four years ago) link

agreed!

there should be a British version of Trillbilly Workers Party imo

Very interesting to see The Observer backing Corbyn's plan but I really don't see how also publishing this is very helpful. Although I do understand Jeremy's frustration. pic.twitter.com/eQyDCTjwi5

Btw check out this from calz’s favourite MP

Surely this is a matter for the police are they investigating this horrible attack? I’m not your greatest fan but you should not be intimidated in any way!

Bazza only has any empathy for the construction behemoths that have generously lined his pockets for decades. He's a classless, worthless piece of garbage. He's probably been an MP longer than Frank Field and in many ways he's worse than him!

calzino, Sunday, 18 August 2019 11:55 (four years ago) link

*struggles to believe such a thing*

mark s, Sunday, 18 August 2019 11:56 (four years ago) link

I'd like to nominate him as a GNU temp leader though, if Ken dies of a heart attack after listening to a Matt Mitchell album Bazza can't be that far off Father of the House status.

calzino, Sunday, 18 August 2019 11:58 (four years ago) link

him and FF have both stood in the same constituency since '79. He tries to keep a lower profile than Frank cos he loves the grift of being a professional lobbyist.
