Halloween Jack posted:The Billion Americans thing is such an incredibly stupid concept that I can't believe anyone would publish it, let alone devote an entire book to it, let alone without immediately becoming a laughingstock and drummed out of their profession. I guess if he's brokebrained enough to publicly advocate it then there really is no bottom to his self-seriousness. He's so rotten. I hate how every journalist even the deluded weenies who think they're on the chapo side of things (and liz bruenig) chit chat with him in the mentions like he's just a colleague, which I suppose to them he is. https://twitter.com/mattyglesias/status/1315689869646147584 the replies to this are death

night slime posted:maybe epic podcast guy should ask better questions It was mostly Briahna Joy Gray spending an hour trying desperately to get Chomsky to engage with any of dozens of questions while he kept repeating his ten minute voting nonsense. Virgil only really chimed in at the end. They’re both trying to salvage something from this trainwreck of an interview.

The truncated twitter clips were genuinely terrible and some of the worst attention-getting poo poo I've seen in a long time. I'm not listening to the full thing but if a 91-year-old social activist who's spent a lifetime doing Q&A ignores your question and talks past you, it's not because they're dumb or have dementia, it's because they've seen it before and understand the substance of the question and choose not to engage with the specfic parts of your questions that are annoying or dumb.

I've liked Bad Faith for the most part, but the Harris/Pence debate is such goddamn plain oatmeal that their panel couldn't do anything interesting with it.

The twitter clips are them trying desperately to get something salvageable out of that dud of an interview. Chomsky behaved like a petulant child throughout the whole thing despite BJG’s almost painfully earnest attempts to try and pull some sort of conversation out of him. I applaud their restraint. They’re working overtime to make him look way better than he comes off in the full interview. Chomsky basically threw a 60 minute temper tantrum.

Almost feels like a deliberate strategy to generate hate retweets to garner exposure for the pod/patreon. Otoh, Chomsky dodged everything and only had canned lib answers so I can't really blame Virgil for leaning into the bit.

On a lighter note: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/10/opinion/sunday/trump-election-authoritarianism.html Ross is back on his poo poo! This time with a banger nestled in there: The real reason Trump won't be able to do a coup or stay in office unelected/a loser? Why, THE VAST POWER OF THE MEDIA ESTABLISHMENT.
