Of interest to the Chapo-verse ~ Brendan James and Sam Biddle provoked Matt Yglesias into explicitly apologizing for his legendary "actually terrible working conditions in Bangladesh are good" article.

Can someone explain who or what is the "beer nerd" that they're refer to a lot

There was a Twitter account, @TheBeerNerd, and the guy said he was gonna leave Twitter and did. He used to review beer for Deadspin.

I'm pretty sure it's the same dude who's now @BronzeHammer though.

Deray has done some really valuable work reporting from the front lines of BLM-related protests.

His support for charter schools and TFA are unfortunate. Still, I think his earnest centrist demeanor makes him a compelling witness to police brutality and the related protests. Given the Trap House's failure to bring on a single BLM-affiliated guest and even, to my knowledge, a single black guest, it doesn't sit well with me when they go out of their way to poke fun at Deray, to be honest.

I am very critical of Deray's politics and have said so on this forum, provoking meltdowns in USPol. But if you think a Brooklyn and Cincinatti based political comedy podcast that has yet to feature a black guest is a good forum for those critiques, then you're retarded.

yes, it sucks they haven't had on a black voice yet, but making fun of deray is in line with the podcast's politics and tearing down modern idols on the left when they have really lovely politics.

Fair enough.
