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

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.

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

always enjoy the matt history eps but the vocal fry in the new one is like anti-asmr
― oiocha, Friday, 14 September 2018 15:42 (five years ago) link
The sound was shit too, like ultra low quality early mp3. But yeah I would love Inebriated Past as its own podcast.

Getting into why people get into conspiracy theory when they realize things are fucked up and not say more leftist, more accurate analysis, but you have to talk to these folks and not just dump Marxist tomes on them.
Also plays a lovely clip of David Icke on the phone raving to Alex Jones about this wonderful program he’d seen on the History Channel that explained everything, called “Ancient Aliens”

it’s hard to explain why people favour one conspiracy theory over another
― flopson, Thursday, 27 September 2018 22:14 (five years ago) link
Not necessarily, there are pretty consistent traits to what we refer to as “conspiracy theories,” and why folks who believe one are much more suceptible to others.
Corey Pein had a good bit in the Baffler a couple years back about how theorists could be described as “the world’s shittiest detectives,” as they’re aware aomething is up but are ludicrously inept at figuring out the culprit.
― Glower, Disruption & Pies (kingfish), Thursday, 27 September 2018 22:28 (five years ago) link
I’ve heard it explained elsewhere that RW cons theories are these wild, evocative thrilling stories of dark secrets and subterfuge that only the Elect Few of Really Smart People can divine, whereas left wing conspiracy theories have been explicitly written out in dusty books sitting on the shelf of your local library for the past century.

it's amusing to me that ppl think of the chapo listener base as misogy-bros, the top of ILE and r/cth are identical at the moment

Friend-of-Chapo Libby just posted a quietly devastating and timely personal piece.
i spent last night writing about something that happened to me that i've never been able to categorize, to help me sort it out. i'm sharing it in case it helps other women do the same. it's long and no one has edited it, on purpose. it's just me. https://t.co/55WkxzMg7l— libby watson (@libbycwatson) September 27, 2018

I've heard that cumtown, which I do not listen to, has a bit near the beginning of its most recent patreon episode, which rumor has it is available free on soundcloud about a dog movie called Fluke that nearly caused some guy to drive off the road this morning from laughing so hard.
