dinoputz posted:yeah the article was great. goddamn I miss NSFWCorp. still saving the print editions in the hopes they'll be worth something to some collector someday... but honestly i got more enjoyment of the podcast version even after i had read those. the funny anecdotes get left out in the article reveal more of the personal poo poo. but yeah dolan's a great writer. has anyone read his 'Pleasant Hell'? i was wondering whetther to order that or not for a bus trip i got planned Anyone who would actually seek out Pleasant Hell is already a Dolan fan and will greatly enjoy Pleasant Hell. During a college forensics tournament, I did his story about working at a glass factory. That's a fun one too. I do not recommend reading Dolan's book on English romantic poets, though, unless you already are really, REALLY into English romantic poets. I thought I was, but boy was I wrong. I would still like to read his dissertation on the Marquis De Sade.

I've been thinking getting Chapo's Felix to talk about Battlefield 1 for a half hour would be a fun weird detour for an episode. That games probably going to be the defining media about WW1 for a lot of people in the US, so it actually makes some sense. He's got enough neuroses about masculinity to fit into Mark and John's conversations about that too. I didn't realize Mark would actually become a seduced by games, making my weird podcast fanfiction seem innocent. Also their discussion of the Syrian Kurds reminded me of a Syrian nationalist I saw last week victoriously tweeting that the Kurdish contras had reached an agreement with the SAA to hold off an invasion of the Turks and Arab contras. I sort of respect that guy's consistency in still sticking to the term for the YPG even after he sees them as allies.

i haven't played much BF:1 but the multiplayer that i tried seemed pretty true to what i've read about WWI: you spawn, run a few meters, and then get gunned down by people that you never saw before you can react

The extent I’ve ever seen the War Nerd boys acknowledge videogames is Mark saying he loved GTA5 and John admitting games are probably more sophisticated culturally these days but he doesn’t know anything about them. It’s probably because he’s a bit older than Mark.

Mark Ames and Max Blumenthal did an article about how that weird UK Integrity Initiative is doing some US based stuff. I guess that British guy who came to the US to work on the Bernie campaign came back to the states to say that posting is war. Also, Sebastian Gorka is involved for some reason. https://grayzoneproject.com/2019/01...rican-politics/ quote:Inside a modest-sized hotel conference room, the Adventium/Integrity event began with a speech by the Integrity Initiative’s Simon Bracey-Lane. Two years prior, Bracey-Lane appeared on the American political scene as a field worker for Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential primary run, earning media write-ups as the “Brit for Bernie.” Now, the young operator was back in the US as the advance man for a military-intelligence cut-out that specialized in smearing left-wing political figures like Jeremy Corbyn, the Labour leader widely regarded as the British version of Sanders.

I saw this but didn't read it the day of publication since I got busy. Latest War Nerd is up on patreon. i'm halfway through the latter half of the podcast where they're going into this and yeah there's some bizarre poo poo in here. when seb gorka got drummed out of the white house I just assumed he was done forever, and I had never heard any press coverage about his wife being a political operator too. Definitely going to read the whole thing now. hopefully they release a preview of the first 30 minutes or so of this portion (or open it up for free later as they normally do like the one on yasha's book) so more people can hear about this. or maybe make appearances on it elsewhere...? what im really tryin to say is mark ames go on chapo

One of the consistent themes that Mark beats is that these vampires never go away. It seemed like the Neocons were defeated in the wake of the original Bush losing to Clinton, only to come back in force with Bush II and later again now as Never Trumpers. So long as there's money behind them they never loving go away.

That Alexander Reid Ross guy came to promote his book at the infoshop I volunteer at. The event had kind of a low turn out and he was kind of passive aggressive with us about not promoting it more. And we we're just like, idk dude, we've been doing author events for years and others didn’t seem to have a problem.

suck my woke dick posted:Looking forward to another round of talking the circular firing squad out of being useful idiots for the forces of reaction I can distinctly remember the last two times this happened. The first was right after The Exile had to flee Russia and they were growing their roots back into the US (and Mark was still doing speed). Mark & Yasha were the first journalists to expose that the Koch Brothers were astroturfing the Tea Party movement, and then all of a sudden there was a big right wing push to discredit them for being sexists and rapists - which was coming from disgusting mutants like Jim Goad of all people. Then it was what, last year or a couple years ago? They did the same thing because Matt Taibbi was getting too popular. It almost happened a third time because Mark Ames did the funky chicken dance on Andrew Breitbart's grave, but it petered out because I guess the guys who took over after Breitbart died were too busy trying to keep the company together.
