does CA have a similar benefactor situation to the Baffler? NJR at one pt was paying ppl to review his Trump book on amazon

have nothing to add but NJR's "forced incredulous laughter while making a point he thinks is kinda edgy" thing is 99% of the reason i can't listen to lefty podcasts, none of these people know how to speak into a microphone like it's their job

For the first time EVER, Chapo Trap House ended the month with fewer patron donors than it started with at the beginning of the month.People are using their dollars to tell CTH that they do not condone their misogynist brigading or their enabling of fascists. pic.twitter.com/Xhyk2sDiYX— Gwen Snyder is uncivil (@gwensnyderPHL) May 1, 2020

feel like gwen has discovered a shtick to create her own platform, but it's not quite enough of a hook to get an interview or quote anywhere of note
also, bernie dropping out and the fact they're kind of wavering between occasional interviews and just talking about bad NBC shows with guests when that's a different type of content might be a reason

This mediocre podcast is not a “pipeline to the alt right.” The moral panic out there these days is reaching absurd levels.

Petty media/activist feuds being the motivating force driving a lot of coverage of any outsider group(from podcasts to the Bernie campaign) would explain a lot.

Oh so this was when he had his insight whilst tripping:
FUCK. Just hit me that I have to actually read Ulysses.— grillpilled_cushbomb (@cushbomb) April 25, 2020
What brought this on is that I just experienced a moment of pure ecstatic peace that had no name, then in the split second it was over I thought “that’s what it’s like to have just finished Ulysses.” Now I have to read it to see if I was right.— grillpilled_cushbomb (@cushbomb) April 25, 2020

I cannot listen to audio of Ben Sasse talking, even if it is for them to roast. He's a particular brand of dumb that comes from Nebraska, he is bad, and he should not be allowed to speak in public.

I've been really enjoying True Anon lately, except for the Azealia episode which I obviously skipped. maybe they've toned it down a bit, or I've just gotten more used to them? their breakdown of the Tolentino saga was pretty good I thought

started listening to this week’s episode and gave up, the shit about “oh, the 1619 Project is ridiculous and historians are really worried about it being taught in schools and people only like it because Ben Shapiro hates it” - fuck off, even if it’s flawed do you think current standards of historical education are going to be lowered by this?

yeah that take did surprise me a little bit, like I do want to look into it a little more and I have occasionally had issues with Nikole Hannah-Jones on other stuff, but really?

lots of ppl have grievances with the 1619 Project, but a passing potshot was not the best way to handle it probably

Something about how you can't parody extreme views on the internet because there are always people who actually hold the views and will take your post seriously, or it's smarter than that but I can't put it together right now

A gentle reminder that provoking racial conflict between Americans to weaken the US is a tactical goal the Russian military assault on our 2016 elections sought to achieve. And did. They’re doing the same right now. Trump is their surrogate, don’t forget.— Xeni Jardin 😷🏠 (@xeni) May 29, 2020

ok but I’ve seen way too many people being celebrated within the irony/chapo/dirtbag/jacobin sphere for attacking things from antifascism to black feminism to the existence of trans people to anything more radical than fordist nationalism as being the same neoliberal identity politics as whatever clintonite bs you care to name. basically everyone in this crowd pulls this disingenuous shite to varying degrees so I hate them all
