i... don’t think anyone is under any illusions that the former president of iran is an irl bad person, or that the humour around this comes from anything other than the extreme unlikeliness of him making virgil texas one of the only 36 people he follows on twitter

the MMA episode was good but i don't know if i can watch that much on MMA
― No Smockin' (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 11 December 2018 18:37 (five years ago) link
lol the MMA stuff is the most interesting/best-executed part, it's the political angle that's suspect (I also do not care about MMA)

Ahmadinejhad is probably one of the worst accounts here. it’s just like a self serious screenwriter who’s in the Funny Accounts tab but run through a Borat filter— soon theyll be calling me “MR BRIGHTSIDE” (@ByYourLogic) December 11, 2018

Sometimes I wonder if they get tired of having to do their schtick twice a week every week, like do they actually feel that exasperated by the political culture all the time or do they have to work themselves into a sort of in-character exasperation? Like how do they keep that up for two plus years?

They were all doing it on Twitter for a long time unpaid, most of it's probably natural.

agree with simon here & i even legitimately dislike MMA
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Tuesday, 11 December 2018 22:11 (five years ago) link
the MMA doc is pretty good, i learned quite a bit. i'm sympathetic to biederman's thesis that it allowed for something legitimately strange and unarguably direct in a time when life got ever more managerial, duplicitous and unforgiving. but that seems to be *his* point of attachment to the sport.
i was a little disappointed he didn't at least take on the idea that it provided a spectacle of masculine violence in a time that has been, little by little, more feminized. i mean that just seems obvious, and a clear link to its trumpiness.

I remember him talking about fighting and bringing up that point in an interview shortly after the 2016 election, I forget the podcast name but the logo was a cassette tape. pretty sure Matt went on earlier as well.

Can’t decide which thread to put this in so here goes:
“Let Me Make You Famous”: How Hollywood Invented Ben ShapiroWith the shaping of producer Jeremy Boreing, Brand Shapiro has made owning the libs a lucrative business, and the Daily Wire a rising power in conservative media. But can they survive Trump?TINA NGUYENDECEMBER 9, 2018 5:30 PM
TINA NGUYENDECEMBER 9, 2018 5:30 PM
...Before Shapiro, Boreing was a fairly obscure Hollywood figure, perhaps best known for helping to produce Etienne!, a buddy movie about a dying dwarf hamster. His primary political affiliation was as the managing director of Friends of Abe, a quasi-secretive salon of conservative entertainment-industry professionals, which he had taken over from Forrest Gump actor Gary Sinise. Years earlier, Andrew Breitbart, a celebrity in his own right within Friends of Abe, had introduced him to Shapiro, and they became fast friends, both serving time at Truth Revolt, a now-defunct Web site, started as the right’s answer to David Brock’s Media Matters, which churned out reliable content attacking the mainstream media and their secret funders. Truth Revolt placated its ancient donors at the David Horowitz Freedom Center, a nonprofit condemned by the Southern Poverty Law Center, but it was far too earnest, and barely made a ripple.

So Q has never given out disinformation before? If JFKJr was in fact alive, how would Sun Tzu answer the question "is JFKJr alive?" Would he say 'yes' or would he say 'no'? How do you think Sun Tzu would answer the question Jeremy? Would he show his hand or would he hide it?— Cary Kembla (@CaryKembla) December 13, 2018
