Been catching up on chapo eps i missed since Christmas. The episode with Adam Friedland talking about getting a blowjob from a Russian sex worker with braces while on an Israel trip, then only being able to eat a single shwarma a day for food is AAA-stuff

apparently one of the work products was a gulen-themed monopoly graphic (i'm guessing monopoly as in the board game)

I don't know how to find this graphic but it sounds great

There is an article in I think a Turkish rag that talks about the PPG ep of chapo where they call PPG a terrorist that says the Kurds want to invade Turkey. That's about what I could make out from google translate.

it's not just male feminists. theres a thing in leftist groups rn where the loudest, most narcissistic and abusive people push themselves to the forefront, take over mod positions in facebook groups + other social media, and abuse their positions of authority to sexually or otherwise harass people in the community. women, men, trans and otherwise, all do this.

I've seen this to be anecdotally true of several groups I've been part of, but its also true of a lot more groups that I've been part of that spend most of their time on the internet. I think its more a consequence of the nature of social media and the protections offered by anonymity that facilitates a "he-said, she-said" cloud that helps perpetuate abuse.

People jumped on Katie Helper making a series of tweets that was her "heavy-handedly parodying" a response to Bernie Sanders objecting to political correctness (Even tho you could tell on the interview he wasn't fully grasping the concept so it wasn't like if he suddenly decided autistic or non-binary people were subhuman or whatever the gently caress) and thought she suddenly was against Bernie EVEN THO THE LITERAL FIRST TWEET WAS HER SAYING "I DROPPED MY LATTE". Folk can be thick at times.

I don't really shake my stick at "male feminists" because sometimes that tag gets hit for folk who either were just defending a friend or aren't just fully performative (to the point I'm seeing Chapo Fans go after people who meet all criteria of Dirtbag Leftist save for objecting to some of their material once). Super vary of "Virtual Signaling" type accusations.

It's ok, I speak twitter.

It's hard to get a read on irony posts, and people tend to go after (drag) twitter people for saying something that gets mistaken for sincerity or tarring them with a brush when they're defending a friend online. Bernie Sanders has his heart in the right place but has made some clumsy statements on recent issues like representation for example that liberal types jumped on to show that he was racist. Katie Halper is a leftist podcast host (and Chapo guest) who apparently was parodying this leading to a misunderstanding.

"So before Netflix existed, the price of movies was that you had to go to a store to get the movie on a disc--like a big, flat flash drive--and you had to listen to an employee ask you if you'd like to buy some stale popcorn or some candy for the same prices they charge for candy in the theatre."
