Anyway the new Chapo is good, it owns that Liz basically takes over the show because she has Brace for a hype man and he's enough of a belligerent loudmouth to just bellow over the Chapos whenever they start talking

Blyth's cohost Carrie Nordlund is a horrible Succ Dem.

The only good Mark content are his solo lectures, and when he does stuff like talk to Syriza or own succ libs in a debate. The Mark and Carrie podcast is unlistenable because she is unbelievably stupid. I see him on Chapo as a Richard Wolff type of interview, except he'd get more of their references.

there was a point where brace started to reach for his stage gun, but he silently checked with liz, and she stopped him. i think virgil was saying something about guns? he did brandish the handcuffs a couple of times, though.

The West Wing Thing ep with Christman on the post-9/11 Isaac and Ishmael episode is amazing. Like poo poo even the episode on its own merits is just insane, produced as an an emergency during season 3 production and released three weeks after 9/11, semiotically equating the audience with actual children, totally obfuscating the motives for terrorism and mystifying it and parroting the Bush “they hate us for our freedoms” poo poo and sucking off the CIA’s dick.

I haven't watched The West Wing in a very long time, but in all these retrospectives, the one thing that stands out the most is Aaron Sorkin's fantasies of an old man barking at a young woman until she agrees with him. And PMC liberals love this crap.

correctly point out that they pulled out literally all the stops on the biggest day of the primary and blew their load with 2/3rds of the delegates left and could still only manage a delegate lead of like 50, in a race of thousands

Eastern Europe Episode IV: A New Hope. I love President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. I understand and appreciate the precarious position the Ukrainians are navigating. I wish I could set up a 401(UA) fund from my paycheck to directly contribute my earnings to Ukraine's success.

I enjoyed Duncan in the last Revolutions episode basically go "yeah, the SR Combat Organisation did kind of help bring around the revolution with their assassinations ". He'd not even have considered that view when he was doing the US revolution

Hollywood could do well with Sorkin’s weird sexism rather than it’s current brand. gently caress it’s like when male novelists try to write what teenage girls pen in their diaries. Not good but at least it’s hilarious.

I recently listened to Dan Carlin (who has bad opinions but is a fun listen to fill time at work) talk about WW1 and from what he said it sounds like all you need to do is force the society into an apocalyptic global hellwar, keep it in there until its society completely disintegrates and then you can take power. After that you just need to get through a brutal civil war and its all gravy.
