There was a British one but it got pulled after one episode because a contestant had nazi face tattoos

The contestant at the time tried to claim that his nazi tat was actually about his dad's death in 1988, despite said dad featuring predominantly in one of the eps and dad explicitly calling him out on it. That's when it got pulled out.

i also found it interesting how they kept insinuating that they only believed certain things because of bernie, which is in a similar vein to how matt has discussed ad nasuem that some liberals tend to see politicians as extensions of themselves and they clearly thought this was a huge part of the chapo phenomenon

a good interview but not necessarily for the reasons the skullduggery people thought though!

Some people aren't given any supervision whatsoever when they get into radio in college. So no one teaches them the very basic principle that if you emphasize every single syllable in every word, nothing is actually emphasized and you just sound like you're talking with a TENS unit up your rear end.

They run a podcast reexamining the Animal Crossing series in a leftist light with loads of guest appearances including most of the Chapo guys, Brace Belden, and Ghostpin in the latest patreon episode. It's pretty good, even if the racial slurs do come pretty hot and heavy.

I've been meaning to check out Pynchon for years. Which one would be a good start?

V. (1963) is an interesting first novel that meanders a lot but does some neat stylistic and structural tricks that will feature more prominently in his later books.

Crying of Lot 49 (1966) is a pot boiler he wrote for some quick drug money, but it's a fun paranoid romp.

Gravity's Rainbow (1973) is his magnum opus, and he threw every crazy idea he had into it. It makes a lot more sense the 2nd time through, but I'm not going to seriously recommend anyone actually do that. If you like crazy WWII stuff, you'll enjoy it.

Slow Learner (1984) is mostly interesting for the introduction, wherein he tells you that basically all the stories (the early ones he published before V.) in the book suck real bad, and he wishes he could have written them better, points out all the plot holes, errors, and stupid bits, but then says basically since people were clamoring for easy access to them, so here you go, enjoy the trash feast.

Vineland (1990) is Crying of Lot 49 through the lens of the 80s looking back at 60s nostalgia, and is just as cynical and paranoid as that should be. It wasn't the next Gravity's Rainbow, which is why reviewers were pretty disappointed after waiting 17 years for his next novel to come out (he was also writing Mason & Dixon and possibly Against the Day during this period), but I liked it.

Mason & Dixon (1997) is an interesting take on the historical novel and, unlike most of his other books, not so much a paranoid romp as it is (literally) a story being told to some kids (and the assorted adults who enter and leave the room, with the story changing depending on the narrator's audience). Some very nice bits about male friendship and some nasty bits about the nature of empires, in the same dosage.

Against the Day (2006) is, in my opinion, his most accessible long novel. It's a great story about why the modern world is as terrible as it is, and how good people have fought tooth and nail against it for very justified and persuasive reasons, coupled with his typical silliness and love of adventure stories.

Inherent Vice (2009) is like a redux of Crying of Lot 49. If you enjoyed Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, or Tom O'Neill's Chaos, you'll probably enjoy this one. Probably the best Pynchon to start with. Very good movie adaptation, as well.

Bleeding Edge (2013) is Pynchon's take on 9/11, and it's very odd seeing his kaleidoscopic approach applied to the modern day. A very C-Spam meets YOSPOS novel.

Farm Frenzy posted:

he said theres no documented proof of the pop cultural depiction of trafficking where its children being snatched off the street and stuffed into shipping containers

People thinking of trafficking tend to assume it's like this godawful thriller from 2008, where the evil bus driver has a complicated scheme to kidnap women from airports, murder a couple guys in the process, and then ship the one healthy woman to east asia on a container ship.

See also films like the pretty entertaining Lian Neeson thriller Taken, where basically everything the protagonist wants to happen happens so he can tell his daughter I told you so for disobeying him, or the disappointing torture horror Hostel series.

The reality is somehow even more depressing and disgusting.

You can just go to a poor rural neighborhood most places worldwide and find someone who'll sell you their daughter or sister for not that much money, or find a girl willing to accompany you for the same relativly small amount of money. No need for elaborate kidnapping schemes when you can just pay a couple thousand dollars to the right people, toss a college sweatshirt on the girl so she "looks 18", and take her with you on the airplane. At worst (again, relative use of "worst" here), you get lonely and vulnerable girls who get catfished by a guy to come "live with the guy who loves them" a couple states over or to eastern europe or whatever, sort of "trafficking themselves", and for the cost of a plane ticket it's the pattern of abusive relationship where she needs to prostitute herself "just one time" because "they need the money" and "she owes him" and poo poo spirals down from there.

gently caress. I'm depressed and angry just writing that.

I'd say start here, since it's basically a carnival of a book and is one of the most inviting stories I've read to date. It's a tome for sure, but the whole thing is one big party from front to finish
