Stuff like this video makes Vaush seem like one of the "left media" personalities most likely to be some sort of op. He's one of the ones most consistent about always translating every issue into supporting Democrats and pushing against any opinion outside of the mainstream.

i'm not sure what grouping vaush and chapo under some kind of left media umbrella gets you

if anything i think chapo is doing better content now that they're just doing jokes and not doing mediocre campaign bits (bernie)

The only content of Vaush's I've ever watched was him claiming that reddit femboy memes did significant damage to the Left, and that Trans people "participate in their own oppression" by liking them. Very convenient, told me right away that he was a contemptuous nerd with nothing worth listening to.

yea I mean I think it would have been kinda dumb for them to not at least try to use their massive platform to actually support a candidate they agreed with, it's funny now in retrospect especially now that sanders has completely gone back to being a cookie cutter dem calling Biden's bullshit 'the most progressive since FDR' and all, but it was the right thing to do overall.

chapo has a big podcast following but "massive platform" is a bit of an overstatement

they're a fun listen but i think people keep forgetting that entertainment isn't politics. matt had enough self-awareness during the jimmy dore stuff to comment that the various "leftist" podcasts are there to cater to different consumer demographics and not meaningful political sub-groups

A typical twitter leftist has difficulty distinguishing the two because they are indoctrinated in consumerism to their very bones and believe your politics IS what you consume

I feel like in Time for My Stories it should have been Matt leading it and Felix just doing the jokes and commentary, instead of the other way around.

Judging from his MMA documentary Felix can do good things if it's 100% scripted, but he can't really be a Will (which is what he was trying to do in Time for My Stories).

He can definitely get too indulgent without someone to rope him in. The last non-Will episode of Chapo I listened to Felix did some endless bit about being good at gambling that just got exhausting. It goes on about ten minutes after Will would have moved things along.

There was some clip going around a while ago where IIRC he seemed to be reading off some prepared talking points and had no idea what any of it meant. I don't follow any of this closely but if you want evidence that he's an op, that's probably it.

lol that a smattering of twitch kids saw Sargon and though: “that looks cool, I’ll be that for the left.” Dire stuff.

I’m listening to P.O.D Cast and I’ve actually stopped to listen to some albums as I go through it. Limp Bizcuit album felt like listening to a novelty cd or something, Deftones’ fur coat or whatever it was called was boring in general (there may be okay stuff later I stopped after
2 songs), the first Korn album I think might actually be good. For context the only Nu Metal I’ve heard was on the radio in the early 2000s.

which also had this awesome acoustic version

That first song has a really cool breakdown and the rest of the song sort of sounded like Radiohead to me; I also really like Slint so idk why it just doesn’t do it for me.

edit: I’m suspecting it’s either how it’s mixed or my headphones are just lovely.

good cans are a QOL issue. I have a pair of Sony MDR headphones that I’ve had for about 25 years now that are kingly, and I got a pair of Bluetooth over ear headphones for my phone that do alright for like 30 bucks

Hybrid Theory is next, which I think I’ve actually heard all of before because it had what looked like a Gundam on the cover.

edit: never mind that was a remixes album I was thinking of, I’ve only heard the singles on this one.
