Felix's thing felt like a really bad student presentation that went way over time

Wasn't great but he brought something to the table so I appreciate it.

I loved the Finkelstein episodes because I had never heard the backstory to him doing his dissertation on From Time Immemorial.

Great interview, not least because he almost confessed to beating the poo poo out of a nazi.

Truly an imposing presence.

Questionable trigger discipline, amirite? Looks like that finger is slipping. One of those ladies must have just said something unladylike and he is trying not to correct them with violence with the possibility of photographic evidence of his noble deeds. Not because he is ashamed of himself, no, but because that rifle does not contain enough ammo to correct everyone present. His own fault, really.

This is a Foolio song I discovered a couple weeks ago. It’s absolutely insane w its content. There really is a nihilism in rap that wasn’t as present a decade or two ago.

That young man is sitting directly with his underpants on the ground. That IS nihilistic.

The show's taught me that "opinion columnist" is one of the best jobs ever. You get paid six figures to fart out the most rock-stupid takes week in and week out, and you don't even have to be a very good writer!

Columnists at one of the biggest Canadian newspapers kept getting caught either plagiarizing or straight up lying. How do you manage to gently caress up having an opinion once a week?!

The only thing that makes sense. Her recent twitter thread about the "big stories" on her substack was loving embarrasing.

I always think of Don Jr throwing a tantrum because on the NYT bestsellers list his book had a dagger next to it (indicates the book got on there via bulk purchases).
