Listening to Chapo Trap House for the first time ever this week has been super, super good. I'm not sure if I actually care about missing out on this initially because it's incredibly refreshing to hear something that isn't incredibly self-serious from before the election. I started with Episode 2, then the latest one (was 60), and then have gone back to Episode 3.

Hearing episode 13 the other day can be the next episode and just blame all of the weird verb tenses on a computer glitch or them being super wasted.

Discovered them the week before the election and going through the back catalog is certainly helping.

Yeah, I'm mainlining it p hard, but Chapo + Mark Blyth talks have definitely put a few things in perspective.

The writing was on the wall from the get-go.

This is the Reason cover they were talking about on the podcast.

Context you might like: This is an edit of GTA5 art. The character in that art was a spoiled rich kid who thought he was a hardass and lived with his dad in a dysfunctional household where everyone sucked. He was embarrassing to his dad, constantly was being taken advantage of by scammers, and was at best comic relief and most of the time was a plot point of "this fuckin' kid caused problems again." That girl in the underwear? That's not his girlfriend. That's his sister.

you forgot the best part: he's voiced by lil pete of pete & pete fame

No no no the Thyssen-Krupp vs Otis divide is making fun of autistic people obsessed with elevators. Elevators are the trains of 2016. The elevator right, and the walk of fame vandal are just funny coincidences

fuckin' real talk for a sec, this 2 hour video on elevators is fascinating:

It was sitting at 50-50 since the start.

Kurt tore through Arthur Chu, Scott Adams, and pissbaby Crowder (who cheesed the gently caress out of his """waterboarding"""). His Carlson and epilepsy meltdown definitely pushed him over the edge.

One of the things that finally got me to unsubscribe from The Smartest Man in the World with Greg Proops is how he speaks about Eichenwald's claims as if they're completely legitimate (he completely bought the Jill Stein supporter in the airport story, for instance).

It was pretty surreal to listen to Chapo talk about the seizure story, then listen to Proops completely defending Kurt. He's exactly the type of pro-Hillary diehard that Chapo rails against.

Whoa, I haven't listened to Proops in a long while. I stopped like 3 or 4 years back because he's so preachy and he's offering simple solutions to complex problems. In the past I would have probably considered him not a terrible stepping stone to bridge the gap to "full communism now", but defending Kurt? Whoof. That hurts.

He was funny when I saw him live.

Eh, go watch Mark Blyth's talks on Global Trumpism and the post election discussion. He makes a compelling argument that people affected by rust belt jobs moving south (and then eventually to Mexico/overseas) know what the past 30 years of neoliberal economic policies do since they've been at the poo poo end of the stick.

Clinton ran on a campaign of "things are pretty OK if you ask me" and more of the same. It doesn't really need to be repeated, but it's still the clear marker that her campaign was turbofucked: the no name insurgent primary challenger came into striking distance of a nomination that had been hers for almost 3 years.

They actually tried to reason (heh) with A Serious Person at Reason magazine, and every question was met with "the department of education needs to go and I'm not that type of libertarian so I can't comment on it". The prominent alt-right figureheads do the same thing, but throw in a Heil for good luck from time to time; the two people that come to mind are Milo and Sam Hyde, both of them do the dumb song and dance to avoid anything resembling a question (I think Sam Hyde pretended to be his own publicist when being asked about MDE's TV show being canned). Like Dan Nainan would be a more honest debate participant.

But what if you put yourself in their shoes? Like just strip away anything that's pro-white and replace it with pro-black, what do you think now?
Oh you don't want to do that? Also, just ignore the Nazi imagery etc.
Hmmph. You don't want to do that? I guess you are just not smart and honest enough to participate my psychological thought experiments. Too bad you are too closed minded to see that. Minds only work when they are open my friend. I'll have to take my smart comments and hair splitting somewhere else. Good day!

I don't like your aggressive language. I find it incredibly demeaning and unnecessary violent. I feel personally attacked for trying to have an innocent conversation as to why white people are genetically and intellectually superior.

It was a solid enough news in review style episode. You can sense that Will has a definite "notice me sempai" vibe going on, but it was good to hear Brenden on the mic. On the AV Club scale, it'd straddle the B-/B line.

Also Felix is eternally correct: MGS 2 is the most important game of 2017.
