Amber is recording the audible version at the same rate as her Chapo appearances.

Any reviews of the book out yet? I’m interested in buying it.

I don't know if the book will be good, but I'm certain that the tweets about it will be a pretty good argument for nuclear annihilation.

She’s talked more than once about going to punk shows and such but never elaborated on it much. I’d like to hear more about that. Also I’m curious if she went to shows when she was at IU’s main campus in Bloomington. It must have been after I went because a koopa at a house show would have stood out to me.

her early bio blurbs always described her as a musician but i've never been able to find any of her music.

She would have been active about when MySpace was the go to for musicians uploading their music

and then the buyers nuked all the user content

or she’s a spook

Not sure I could stomach a whole Amber book but that Hillary book that she edited for was pretty good (worth a read even past the 2016 election), and that also had a contribution from recent guest Catherine Liu.

what??? She was murdered by a cop in the UK

I think that was the "Ok we can't just say that the UK police is capable of brutality and the government is even more enthusiastic about giving them more free reign to do this" view that a lot of papers are going with. Like our portuguese government tv report specifically centered said policeman at the start while the private networks that had Sky News connections centered way more on sentences from women at the vigil before the police went down that specifically tried to avoid spelling out how the woman died.

Did she write the blurb herself? That's a 'yikes' from me!

quote:

Throughout it all, Frost burned the candle at both ends. She kissed a man in the rain at a train stop after he sang her “The Internationale,” and gave herself hangovers that left her begging for death. But all of the late nights, heated debates, and joyous camaraderie was set against the unmistakable sense that somehow, socialism was winning.

I'm guessing the target demographic is Teen Vogue or some poo poo.

also

quote:

She has reported on millennial activism everywhere from the sunny streets of Havana, to the Labour Party’s unexpected victory in the UK, to small towns in her home state of Indiana.

is this the parallel reality where Corbyn won?

That blurb sucks, hahaa. Hopefully book will be god but the description makes it sound like every other political memoir they've made fun of on the podcast. Maybe it's just an inherently bad genre.

Amber has done more to mobilize the progressive left in this country than probably every person ITT put together and I’m excited to hear what she has to say! I’ll probably buy her book because I’ve never paid a dime for this show and I’ve listened to like 200 hours of it and their other book looks like dorky poo poo for losers.

Wait, did her book on Cuba turn into this, or have I forgotten that she released a book on Cuba and this one just includes some stuff from her time there, or did she decide not to release a book on Cuba, or am I misremembering and it was never about Cuba?

I can't read "burning the candle from both ends" without thinking about Virgil's "she was sucking the dick from both ends" from the Glenn Beck episode. Still salty that didn't make it to the all timers list because it's easily top 5 he, Will, and Matt were vibing hard.

I dunno, Bust Rodd. I doubt she has done as much as me, Bernie Sanders, has done. When was the last time she took a honeymoon to the USSR? Oh that’s right, never. She was too busy touring with her Ramones cover band
