you have to remember that for people in their mid 30s, a lot of our peers that were churchgoing in their youth and broke away associate the whole enterprise with the heel-dragging on progressive social issues, or in more conservative communities, entrenched bigotrythere are things to admire in the protestant ethic but when your experience started with the satanic panic years and ended during the fight against gay marriage...

Trying the Antifada podcast w/ Jamie Peck and her husband (?) - they’re even worse than Chapo at talking over guests.

I didn't care for it. Racine and the co-host/producer are Cumtown-adjacent in style.

I find it funny how unobjectionable the Vice interview was. Like, almost anyone on Rolling Politics would have given similar answers (except maybe on the Mueller stuff). They've gone soft already!

I couldn't really get into the Parquet Courts interview, felt like reading a Spin or Voice article from the late 90s. Did it get more interesting as it went on?
― Fedora Dostoyevsky (man alive), Monday, 20 August 2018 17:10 (five years ago) link
not really. their efforts to branch out into sports/music/etc episodes generally bore me though

Sort of reminded me of the value of actually good and well-listened music writers because I really felt like they were fumbling around trying to sound intelligent while talking about the whole death of rock/rock revival thing, which had SO much written about it at the time.

I dug it because I _was_ a budding rockcrit/writer back then.

i'm still kinda surprised more ppl on this thread weren't mad they had PFT Commentor on but i guess just chalk it up to not knowing enough about Barstool & their past toxic misogyny stuff...

I've seen it brought up, including on the subreddit. I assume not much was made of it cause no one had an issue with PFT himself (that I know of)
― wayne trotsky (Simon H.), Tuesday, 21 August 2018 14:05 (five years ago) link
PFT is a universally beloved internet figure who Barstool keeps around as a shield against the site's overall odiousness and worthlessness.
