i'm just grasping this whole doughnut thing and you'd think they'd be smarter about protecting their favorite "everyone who questions the dnc is racist/sexist" card plus it's sad to see jen kirkman turn insane over the years since i thought she was pretty funny when i first heard her

As a standup fan, she used to be fun to follow (not on Twitter, but in her career). This will probably turn from amusing to problematic very quickly.

Yeah. It bums me out because PFT's phone calls with Kirkman used to be the best part of Pod F. Tompkast and then Kirkman went full :stare: during the election. I do hope she has people checking in on her though because she's gone next level.

Chapo fans have a new official film:
http://www.freep.com/story/entertainment/movies/2017/08/11/nut-job-movie-review/104451110/

quote:

“The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature,” directed and cowritten by Cal Brunker, is a searing indictment of capitalistic government corruption, embodied by the cravenly criminal Mayor of Oakton City (Bobby Moynihan). In seeking to wring every drop of profit from his province, he destroys the city park where these rodents enjoy a collective lifestyle in order to build an amusement park, Liberty Land, a monument to crass consumerism and cutting corners. When the rodents resist against this development, the mayor unleashes exterminators to violently suppress the uprising.

That’s not the only revolutionary element of the film. Just wait until you see the army of kung fu-trained Chinese mice, led by the furry, ferocious Mr. Feng (Jackie Chan), who join the rodent insurgents in their rebellion against their greedy human oppressors. They, too, have been driven from their park, now a golf course. The most terrifyingly sadistic villain happens to be Heather (Isabela Moner), the mayor’s daughter, a fiery-haired bourgeois demon in a small child’s body.

This is a film of excesses and extremes. From the orgiastic festival of nuts that the film opens with to the violent mayhem that it descends into, “Nutty by Nature” is a relentless melee. It’s a tornado of whirling-dervish rodents battling hamfisted humans over the sanctity of their land, which has been turned from a verdant paradise into a dark and hellish landscape of repurposed goods and shoddy craftsmanship, intended to drop every excess dollar in the mayor’s pocket. It’s an unexpectedly radical, if otherwise rather rote, animated sequel.

Jen Kirkman had a bit on Drunk History where she talked about how much of a "badass" "the first female President" Edith Wilson was, because she secretly ran the US government after Woodrow Wilson had a stroke. At the end of her segment, she said she didn't know if Edith Wilson passed good policies, but at least 9/11 didn't happen on her watch. Liberals.txt

Everyone's favorite op ed writer has a hot take on the Google memo guy.


quote:

It was very male-centric. I heard about client outings, involving strippers, to which I was obviously not invited. And the sexual harassment (entirely from clients, not colleagues), could be spectacular.

Which has nothing to do with why I left. This will make me sound a bit dim, but at the time, it never occurred to me that being a female in this bro ecosystem might impinge my ultimate career prospects. Nor did I miss having women in the room. I liked working with the bros just fine. And the sexual harassment, while annoying, was just that: annoying. I cannot recall that it ever affected my work, nor that I lost any sleep over it.

No, the reason I left is that I came into work one Monday morning and joined the guys at our work table, and one of them said “What did you do this weekend?”

I was in the throes of a brief, doomed romance. I had attended a concert that Saturday night. I answered the question with an account of both. The guys stared blankly. Then silence. Then one of them said: “I built a fiber-channel network in my basement,” and our co-workers fell all over themselves asking him to describe every step in loving detail.

At that moment I realized that fundamentally, these are not my people. I liked the work. But I was never going to like it enough to blow a weekend doing more of it for free. Which meant that I was never going to be as good at that job as the guys around me.

So I went to business school, and eventually I landed myself in the kind of career that I was happy to do on weekends, and nights, and most of my other time -- a career that I did, in fact, do for free for five years before anyone offered to pay me for it. My field, policy journalism, is also predominantly male. But it’s less male, and it suits me better.

The bolded parts are just *chef kissing fingers*

"Radical centrist" originally meant someone who was ideologically moderate, but willing to radically reform the system if necessary. Now it means the exact opposite of that: they will believe anything, shifting beliefs from one minute to the next, as long as it preserves and justifies the status quo. (The other ironic thing about it is that "radical centrist" used to be a label for milquetoast pundits who wanted to pretend they stood for something. Now it represents a genuinely radical set of politics; these people are liberal versions of Alex Jones fans who will buy into an ever-shifting array of mutually incompatible conspiracy theories so long as it props up their worldview.)

Because "radical centrists" are, by and large, people who have done well under the status quo. Looking at Liberal Twitter, when you take out the professional campaigners and the professional media people, what you're left with is lawyers and the odd techbro. People for whom the "meritocracy" is working just fine.

Matt summed it up well when he said "These are the people C. Wright Mills called 'crackpot realists.' Because they were obsessed with realistic approaches to the Cold War, but their premises were totally insane."

quote:

I mean isn't it that incremental change has been the status quo only because of the grinding gears of competing goals & ideologies? If you set your sights at the compromise, you won't even get to the compromise, right?
Well yeah, this is why the West Wing doesn't reflect real life.
