I'm glad they figured out that it's funnier to just make fun of these idiots instead of inviting them on and trying to argue with them.

Coheed and Camembert posted:Who is this dork with too much time on his hands? Al Giordano is a journalist and anti-nuclear-power activist who moved to Mexico where he totally-for-real wanted to join a left wing militia, but they told him he'd be more use to them posting on twitter instead of taking up arms against the oppressors. He spent the 2016 primary mad about his mentions and plans to run for Senate in Vermont in 2018 against Bernie Sanders, who he blames for, well, basically everything.

padijun posted:what episodes in the back catalog are considered "must listens?" Of the free ones, both the Ross Douthat episodes (3 and 30), the Ron Fournier episode (12), the Silicon Valley episode (42), the post-election episode (58), the James Adomian episode (46), and the mad online Catholics episode (38) are my favorites.

Civilized Fishbot posted:Whenever I read that he was an "anti-nuclear" activist, I assumed it meant anti-nuclear weapons and not anti-nuclear power. Gross I'm sympathetic to his and Bernie's work in this area because Vermont's nuclear plant was run by Entergy, which was caught lying about the fact that the reactor coolant system had a leak that they "fixed" by putting an inflatable pool from Walmart under the faulty pipe and then dumped it in the river every so often.

I actually think there might be something to Matt's theory that the director of London Has Fallen, an Iranian emigree to Sweden whose other work is short film dramas about living in housing projects, made LHF intentionally over-the-top awful as a mockery of American imperialism.

emdash posted:What was the song played over the last bit of the Adam Curtis interview? I know I've heard it, and I thought it was Boards of Canada (maybe it still is) but I can't find it Burial - Forgive The Wikipedia pages for Adam's films do an excellent job of listing the soundtrack. Of course, it helps that you can copy/paste 95% of the tracks. What's the name of the Russian book with The Zone, or the author's name? I keep forgetting to write it down and don't want to bother going back.

If anything, a management consultant who's mad about family court taking a bunch of adderall and writing up his crazy theory about Russia controlling everything, then getting retweeted by all the dumbest media twitter accounts seems a little too perfect for the Chapo guys

The Irish Times understands the horrors of family court.quote:Much of US political humour is delivered by people whose comedic tastes lie somewhere Dilbert cartoons and Greek puns. Chapo, on the other hand, treats the US political system like a hated ex-husband, attacking it with the bristling hatred of a first wife determined to get everything off him but the dog kennel.

Sephiroth_IRA posted:How's nate been since the election? The podcast is interesting when it's him and Harry talking about the math. Like this week they went over how Clinton would have won if Michigan had won the Toledo War and the panhandle had gone to Alabama instead of Florida, like it was supposed to originally. That's not really important to know, but it's interesting. They're at their worst when they try to do political analysis, like their discussion of Russian influence on the election.

Regulus74 posted:Also re: the Proops chat, it's never a good idea to listen to his podcast during an election cycle because Greg is the type of person to take Joan Walsh at her word without any critical thought. I've always enjoyed his podcast but I doubt I still would if I didn't have the foresight to stop listening at the beginning of the primaries. Yeah, I had to check out when he started devoting about half the show to reading Propane Jane and Amanda Marcotte tweets instead of baseball and literature. I'm sort of morbidly curious what he was like after the election, but not curious enough to sit through it.

They said they were giving up on debates with right wing idiots after they tried it with Matthew Walther and, well, this happened.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvN464imtMQ It's not at all funny or entertaining and thank goodness they decided not to do it again.

Phobophilia posted:also constantly needling and humiliating trump with his pissy adventures with supple russian hookers is another easy way to delegitimize trump and force him to make mistakes. and if it causes him to lose his mind and move too quickly towards full fascism now? so be it, that makes it easier to oppose, the actual danger is if trump moves towards fascism too slowly How has this strategy worked to date?

I mean, go ahead and laugh at him for the (obviously false) piss story because it's funny as gently caress and he is getting mad about it. I'll certainly keep making jokes about it for the next four years. But don't think it's going to change anything. There's a tape of him saying he loves of sexually assault women, remember? Among like a million other things. The guy can't be beat this way.
