I don't know if it was a direct threat, but it was when the Bess Kalb stuff got rehashed. Basically when she wasn't verbally abusing a black bernie supporting camera operator she would ask Jack why hillary supporters werent seen as funny or cool. The story always stuck out to me because I remembered her as a past twitter main character. She had a notable, early entry in the "I hated Bush, but like him now because Trump!" genre.



is working on show business just being surrounded by these psychos? low information and yet insanely passionate. I know a warrenite in animation who works for disney and wouldn't shut the gently caress up with the hillary talking points about bernie. sierra blanca, this sierra blanca that, didn't know the first thing about nuclear waste and was just quoting. ended up both sideing israel during the summer and then shut up

oh and she voted for warren in california in a total wasted move, encouraged other people to vote for her because you only get so few chances to vote for a woman, then called her mom in new york begging her to vote for bernie. and yes she is rich

yeah weird. generally pocketcasts is pretty good, i like it a lot, but i guess sometimes it fucks up. i've got a few podcasts like cumtown and sometimes chapo where it won't play when i press play and i gotta skip forward 10seconds and then go back. but it's also totally possible the mp3 host can be bugged out too.

i'm hoping the whole Stitcher Experiment comes to an end because stitcher sucks rear end so hopefully going forward they're available on any platform.

Controversial opinion I don't think the Sopranos is that good and every other elder millennial leftist that looks back on it fondly outs just the nostalgia glasses of it being the late 90s/ early 2000s, the just time people had hope for future.

Same thing with why so many people watch an unfunny bit of TV like friends

I’m going to listen to it now, but if it’s a movie ep I’m sure that’s the case. I got about 2 seasons through The Sopranos last time I tried, it was similar to when I tried to watch Madmen where after season 2 I though “there’s how many more of these?”

TV is weird since prestige tv and streaming became things because it’s like watching a movie that’s 200 long.

you did the right thing. skip ahead and watch the one off episode about the chechen but that's it. after season 2 of sopranos the only real antagonist died irl and tony simply solved every problem with murder after waffling for a while about what to do

I want to watch the Sopranos because everyone I like and listen to and respect says it’s good, but honestly actually undertaking watching a 7 season prestige drama from 20 years ago sounds exhausting. I can handle maybe 3 episodes in a sitting, max, before I fall asleep or before I gotta go stretch my legs and walk my dog or something. I haven’t been able to sit on my rear end and stare at a screen all day since college.

Because if you watch it that slowly A: you won't finish until well after the current Sopranos craze has died down so you won't be able to talk about it with people and B: If you start watching the show very slowly in this current Sopranos craze, you're guaranteed to get spoiled on it. I've seen tons of Sopranos spoilers and they don't stick because I don't know anything about the show. So if I see a tweet about the time Jimmy the Shoes got shot by Dicky Camarillo, it's meaningless and instantly forgotten. If I started watching the show and got really invested in Dicky Camarillo's journey towards recovery, only to then be spoiled that he falls back into the life by killed Jimmy the Shoes no less, It would be annoying.

being "spoiled" about a story does not diminish the quality of a story, and if you're only watching something because everyone else likes it, well maybe just read plot summaries and stop wasting your time
