Xeni update: she was preyed upon by Lemmy and GWAR as a child, but still thinks they wanted to hang out because she was a cool 14 year old.

if true, this has gone from funny to sad

There's no way her story is true but Lemmy was a predator.

"And Introducing" does a wonderful job of showing how monstrous pretty much every rock musician from that era is

Donald Fagen absolutely comes to the fore here since he talks about catching frostbite jerking it outside of a co-ed's window and then some disgusting description about bologna on a girl's thighs

Xeni rationalizing being groomed and abused makes the whole thing a lot more depressing than if it were entirely down to her being being a callous, cynical shill :smith:

My gf is insisting on listening to the weeds to get pandemic news updates. is there a less terrible person i can point her towards than matt yglesias? she likes citations needed after I suggested that to her but they're not really a "news" podcast. she's not online enough to enjoy chapo or trueanon.

i'm forcing her to listen to that two-parter of trueanon about liz warren and the dnc anyways because it was that good. that's not really relevant to my q, i just wanted to shout out v. illych for reminding me of how much those eps ruled

are there pandemic news updates that are necessary? the u.s. hasn't had any kind of actual lock down, so it's just been the continual rise in numbers of sick, and dying.

you're probably right, i don't know what shes really looking for. i just want her to not listen to lib garbage on purpose.

maybe she's wanting something optimistic that sounds like everyone has a plan, or is dealing with things in a cogent manner? like..presumably NPR does this? idk. it's all soul-crushing bitter truths about the struggle in my progressive and/or leftist news sources. in that arena, Liz Franczak and Amber A'lee Frost are the most hopeful.

Intercepted is pretty okay if you are looking for current affairs stuff although Scahill does get on his :d2a: rants every now and then.

Citations needed is a good way to introduce folks to more left leaning media imo.

any more info on this? it wouldn't surprise me that the epitome of "sex drugs & rnr" doesn't have the cleanest conscience wrt sex, but whenever I've seen someone (m or f) mention meeting him in an interview (or youtube comments, whatever) he's always portrayed as a gentleman. though I suppose biden was as well and turns out he's a rapist.

The only connection I know of is Robinson did a writeup on Zizek's dominating "debate" performance with Jordan Peterson, which was all about how Zizek focused on the wrong things and should have addressed this or that.

But as far as I know, no.

he reported the federalist's editor in chief (?) ben domenech (who also happens to be meghan mccains husband) to the nlrb for a "joke" tweet where he said he would send his employees to the "salt mines" if they tried to unionize


the nlrb took action, and instead of just taking down the tweet per the nlrb's request, the federalist spend a bunch of money fighting this very clear cut case in court....... and lost


now conservative media freaks are trying to make a big deal out of it — domenech got an op ed in the WSJ about it for example:
