Hot couch guy is basically a dirtbag but with no style or aesthetics.

there probably aren't, like, wealthy hot couch guys, but otherwise yeah I think it exists as a phenomenon all the way from working class to college-educated professional class.

I still have dreams of the hot couch I slept on in Cincinnati in 2014. I got the cool spot. My bandmate woke up in cat pee.

I guess technically this is going to include me soon, oh fuck am I doomed to see my couch heat up???

I was long out of college by 2006 and have no recollection of the movie Running Scared existing

haha I've just realized that it's the paul walker movie from 2006 i had no idea existed that's he's referencing and not the gregory hines and billy crystal movie which is what my experience was

My friends @CHAPOTRAPHOUSE have written the funniest Guide To Revolution since Pol Pot's zine from his Paris years. (There are cultural references I don't get, but I trust the jokes still landed.) So buy it, read it, then burn it. Because like Nike, it's an affront to patriotism.— Dennis Perrin (@DennisThePerrin) September 6, 2018

thanks for the link, didn't want to go last nite. was funny, Mac DeMarco played a surprise show at the venue across the street yesterday. can't imagine how insufferable the combined crowds downtown were for this and that.

Ha, thanks for the show link. I think people have been bootlegging the live events since they’ve been having them. Somebody on the dirtbag leftist/Chapo fan Discord posted a full show right after it happened in May of last year, I think.

def voting for her. Nice interview, fairly straightforward (ganked NPR outro music maybe subtly poking fun at this?). She seems def on the outer edge of DSA endorsements in terms of pretty clearly just being a social democrat at most, so I sort of get the strife over whether to endorse her.
― Fedora Dostoyevsky (man alive), Tuesday, 11 September 2018 17:45 (five years ago) link
I liked her interview, but wished she would have come out more vociferously for sex workers, and I’m glad Virgil asked her directly on that topic

I don't think I can listen to any of the guest-free episodes anymore, they're so wanky.
― Fedora Dostoyevsky (man alive), Tuesday, 11 September 2018 19:00 (five years ago) link
I can't really blame them, I just think they've sort of fulfilled their purpose and maximized the mileage they can get out of what they do best.
― Fedora Dostoyevsky (man alive), Tuesday, 11 September 2018 19:04 (five years ago) link
yeah i have no appetite for guest-free episodes. basically no appetite for a reading series unless it's something particularly good like douthat memoirs, seagal, or true allegiance. i guess I've grown weary of the shtick
― ( ͡☉ ͜ʖ ͡☉) (jim in vancouver), Tuesday, 11 September 2018 19:06 (five years ago) link
i honestly am more likely to tune into felix streaming on twitch than chapo nowadays though so I'm not saying like I'm above this shit or anything

The first bit was sort of entertaining as a reminder of how awful all of them would be to do anything with.
― louise ck (milo z), Tuesday, 11 September 2018 21:07 (five years ago) link
They remind me a little bit of the guy who goes to blockbuster movies and mutters under his breath the whole time "Oh god. Please. Yeah right. Well that's original."

I didn't mind the guestless part so much as the politicsless part.

are you guys talking about the 9/11/18 episode? this is great. rambling, unedited, naturalistic. it's like fishing. don't think i'd spend an hour with matt, virgil, amber, and the other guy twice a week but i love that they switched up the format for once. felix walking in was great
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 12 September 2018 18:24 (five years ago) link
will just walked in! this is great
