Yeah it was crazy when Nader did a legal coup coupled with strategic Florida precinct riots and a media disinformation campaign that overturned the results of the 2000 election. Now let's see another article about Bush painting soldiers or being friends with the Obamas or some shit we love that guy.

Apparently podcasts can get nominated for awards and stuff. I'm not going to be figuring out how to go about getting nominated but if someone wants to go get us an award you'll get ten shiny "Workers' Lit Points"

Tough question: What is the best book that's 0% gay? Like no gay vibes at all but still phemomenal. Is such a thing even possible?

No joke this crisis is a huge part of why we run this podcast. People need to be able to think about narratives, context, meaning both implicit and explicit. The digital age has been a disaster for mental dexterity, and nothing improves the mind quite like reading.

Gosh I wish there was a podcast releasing on Monday that was a five year retrospective with the author of an incredible queer southern gothic novel where a guy and his adopted brother accidentally develop a 24/7 BDSM dynamic and then the dom dies and becomes a mean ghost and car racing is involved.

Can't believe Disney made a whole song about "Summer Sons" by Lee Mandelo that's nuts. They didn't really get the vibes down but that's okay. We do! On the episode coming out Monday.

I'm not saying if you're annoying you shouldn't be allowed to engage with media. I'm saying you should be aware of your own annoyingness and engage silently. (This is about people who send mean emails to niche leftist literature podcasts, could be referring to anyone.)

People ask: "Does being a writer and niche left podcaster pay well?" Yes, if you're counting the currency of impressing weird gay guys with cool tattoos.

People who become right wing because they get annoyed by leftists are weak willed, most leftists are annoyed by leftists every single day.

If your favorite podcasts are not made by "a couple guys," I am afraid I have very little respect for you. This is an art form that can only excel in the hands of weird freaks

The lesson of the last few years is there really are two different legal systems in this country with an explicit class character, and the elite are tired of even pretending that isn't the case.

used to hang out at this bar whose other regulars were mostly straight middle aged men and my god their drama. most of em were banned for pissing on the floor or stealing fistfuls of cash from the register. for some reason no one acted like it was a referendum on straightness maleness or ‘the left’

Before we judge whether or not the barking pilot was behaving poorly we need to see what the other pilot looked like, it may have well justified a little barking.

Senator Tommy Tuberville claims furries are out of control and pilots are meowing and barking over the airline radios

This is what I mean about how we have to become snobs. When a bitch says shit like this to you, the move is to immediately become very mean, and laugh at them, and say out loud that you don’t respect them, things of that nature, things Ezra Klein would never do

I know my job is to promote our pod and I usually use jokes, but authentically I think this is an important episode about an intellectual figure that could not be more relevant to our current moment I (Jacob) genuinely consider myself a Gramscian every bit as much as I consider myself a Marxist.
