rogan is lucky he sometimes has good guests on because man is he dumb. it's weird that a dude so into drugs would sometimes come down so hard right on some poo poo (talking about cops with sam harris for instance).

Rogan is a good barometer of what your average dudebro thinks so he's useful for that.

Sargon got shut down by Heavyweight Podcasting Champion Joe Rogan and from atop his mountain cottage Notch continues to spin gold into lead.

Yeah, I think people go way to hard on the art/artist thing. Which I could understand if he was still involved in any way with it still, or did most of the work on it, but he isn't and didn't. Doesn't own the IP, isn't involved in development.

I'm sure you could apply some critical theory to the game itself, but it's no more problematic than (pre pink friends era) legos.

The guy who coined the term meant it to describe exactly that, the creation of a hierarchy of the 'merited' who run society, while everyone less fortunate eats poo poo, so that's fitting.

I think this is piece of evidence #56,780 that irony backfires more often than not. The kinds of people you want to convince are also the kinds of people who will latch on to the text, not the subtext. Lindsey Ellis' video on Mel Brooks and the Producers covers this pretty well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62cPPSyoQkE

Rogan is dangerously ignorant. I remembering watching his second interview with TJ Kirk a few months ago. When TJ brought up the fact that Sessions was a horrible racist, Rogan said something along the lines of, "Actually, I heard he was a great advocate for civil rights." So wrong, so damaging. I bet he was willing to believe that because it contradicted what liberals were saying about him.

Somebody said a little while back that Rogan is like Trump in that he basically agrees with the last person he spoke to. I think that's a pretty apt comparison.

"Sessions isn't a racist, he prosecuted Klan members in the 80s!" was a RWM talking point that was pushed around the time of his nomination. While Sessions did do that, he was basically pushed into it, and multiple staffers say he didn't really want to. I'm gonna assume Rogan heard that soundbite somewhere.

Nah it's cool to mock self-important people who have stupid opinions based on nothing more than edgy rationality, fake science or blatent mysogeny/racism because sometimes humour is more effective than anger at revealing these people for what they really are, and often shedding light on them causes them to shrivel up and die.

Also lots of them are snakes who are either willing to trade in their principles for cash or whose principles are so weak that a light insult will make them do a complete 180.

We're mocking them in part because they're so bad at that.

They're also pushing a curriculum of FASC 101: Introduction to white supremacy. A mocking is the least they deserve.

I quite like listening to Rogan when he's talking about martial arts and the like, I've listened to a bit of his other stuff and it has been mostly trash. This video is just perfect, the most obvious things blow his mind and he's just distracted so easily.

Lindsay Ellis has a new video in her Michael Bay/Transformers series, talking about feminist critiques of Transformers. This is just part 1, so it's basically five and a half minutes of "this is what feminist critique actually is" and five and a half minutes of "why are these theoretically-genderless alien robots all dudes?" Nothing terribly ground-breaking, but the first half could serve as a fairly decent intro to the idea of feminist critique divorced from some of the shittier aspects of the clickbait/hot-take versions that are too common now-a-days.

It's currently Patrons-only, but I expect it should be open to the public by the end of the day.

I listened to this on the drive to work this morning. It's hilarious how much he (pigeon guy) butchers his interpretation of that first study. I think that what people like him do is just google "recent studies showing immigration is bad*" and reference whatever pops up first.

*Admittedly, googling this sort of thing isn't always necessarily bad as long as you still read the results critically and also search for studies representing the opposing view (to see how credible and common they are)
