"who is Luke Skywalker's father? Uhmm... Darth Vader?" is a great earnest question. It's the closest you can get to giving millions of people an aneurysm shy of having real psychic powers. You can literally feel the collective swell of "ooooooohh-my-fucking-gaahd how can you nooooooooot!!" like a seismic event.

Is there a venmo or cash app we can share some solidarity funds with Tom for not only dealing with the heartburn of ordering us shirts but also having to deal with all the bitching and moaning over the last few months? I have designed/ordered shirts for union members for 13 years now and it’s wild how people have no patience. And I swear to god if i see another whiny ass comment from folks who have clearly never placed a large order of shirts and certainly not from a union print shop I’m going to loose my shit Calm down and leave our friends alone you’ll get your shirt when you get It and being turds isn’t going to make It arrive any faster.

I was listening to your most recent free episode where you were talking about finger amputation. I amputated four fingers on my left hand in an industrial accident. Contrary to what you claimed, I didn't pass out, scream or panic. I went into shock. I calmly looked down at my hand and thought to myself 'I just cut my fingers off', grabbed a latex glove and tied it around my arm as a tourniquet.

All these Taylor Sheridan shows sound so profoundly boring and airless. They all sound like Succession, but "what we are doing is good, actually". It's a real return of Dad-tv. I got so used to them holing up at the Discovery/History-channel that I never thought their sensibilities would make a real comeback.

Ooooohhhhhhhh yes!!!! I hope they take you up on the offer! I'm so interested in what's going on and despite being fairly fluent in Arabic, the only knowledge I've gained on Syria and what's played out is the handful of middle eastern news outlets that definitely report far more then what's reported on western media outlets but still largely fail at the burning question- who the fuck is dicking around in that and why? Am I wrong to be hesitant in giving it 2 thumbs up? It all feels like the head of a snake fell off a bit too easy. Regardless, I hope this blooms into a positive movement away from the hell it's been. 🤞🤞🤞🤞

It obviously didn't occur to him, but it's weird that the CEO-shooter didn't do any attempt at obfuscating his incredibly distinct eyebrows. I feel like, after 300 seasons of Drag Race, that there's enough cultural bleed-through from drag culture that any rando straight dude would probably know what it means to "glue down your eyebrows". It kinda defeats the purpose of a hoodie and mask if you can clock someone just by their eyebrows. If he had had a purple glue-stick, a spoon, some dollar store foundation and an equally cheap brow pencil a lot of this mess might have been avoided. ...I guess this is one of those things you can't exactly run by a friend for some outside perspective.

I'm a firm believer in walking-phrenology, and even if you didn't know anything about the CEO-guy, you can tell he's an asshole the way he walks in that video. Just lumbering, swinging his arms like stiff sausages that don't bend at the elbow. That's the gait of a man who habitually harasses waitresses and winks at you afterwards, incriminating you in his bullshit.

The doctors v. insurance company stuff seems like an attempt to replicate the accepted perception of you v. professional athletes instead of worker v. team owners. However, the arguement that, for instance, Juan Soto is an greedy bastard looses steem when he's setting your broken bone in the ER, delivering your baby, or writing you a script for blood pressure meds.

Why do you need a “left” position on Syria? I think it’s pretty well established that a real outburst of popular sentiment against ossified authoritarian regimes was co-opted by intelligence services for their own regime-change purposes, which lead to over a decade of a struggle for power. It’s a classic imperialist game; divide a population, make them fight against each other while you support the one that’ll give you the resources you want

I'm not saying "books are bad, boo books" but that it's probably inadequate advice by a columnist rolling up his sleeves, ostensibly to "solve this whole people being bummed out business". Books are great. It's just a little eye-rolling coming from someone paid to analyze society. More so when it comes on the heels of "yo, there's so many gross girlies in culture, also. What's that about? Where are the men?".

Jesper Ohlsson

2024-12-10 09:24:27 +0000 UTC

Hmm maybe books have a small influence on many people. But if people live in their heads or are isolated—like by distance or illness—they can really hit. I think we get run so ragged in part to keep us from having the time to come across books or art.

I'm not going to dissuade anyone from "reading books", but these people sound like they have a borderline magical belief in the curative process of reading a book. I think it's going to take more than A Certified Good Book [TM] - from the officially agreed upon list of books that are real books - to uncook a modern brain. It's like going to a hoarder's house and ask if they've ever tried breathing exercises (they have; it was the only affordable healthcare-option available).

Jesper Ohlsson

2024-12-10 03:29:36 +0000 UTC

I'd like to think they were making crack in the break-room, with whatever was available, and it surprisingly turned out fairly well, quality-wise. Turns out stevia is a pretty decent stabilizer.

Yup, he lived a life of opulence and could afford luxuries the majority of human beings in history could only dream of and he obtained that life by systematically destroying the lives of others. And not even in an abstracted way as is the case for some of the ultra rich - he made decisions consciously that directly led to mass suffering and death. In a sane world he’d have been on trial for crimes against humanity long before anyone had to resort to assassination.

Cthulhusbedandbreakfast

It’s so wild that that author was calling doctors and specialists the “profiteers” of privatized healthcare, conveniently ignoring the fact that there is an entire unnecessary administrative workforce that exists because our healthcare is privatized.

Grant

2024-12-09 23:43:03 +0000 UTC

Regarding Syria - Assad may have been a really really bad dude I don’t think any left wing person would dispute that. But if you read what the axis of resistance has been saying Syria has been a major ally and land route to arm hezbollah and hamas. If you were concerned about the genocide this is only going to make things worse. Secondly the major ‘rebel’ group that is now in charge is quite literally an offshoot of Al Qaeda. Their leader is a founder of Al Qaeda in Syria, a former ISIS high up and is Turkish backed (they hate the Kurds too). So they’ve traded a tyrant for actual western backed terrorists. All those prisons allegedly being emptied will be full again soon.

gavin curran

2024-12-09 23:18:16 +0000 UTC

Another angle for me is that he had the resources and means to be a devoted husband and father and have his own house etc. I'm barely scraping by as a single person with no children and things don't look like they will be getting any better any time soon.

Katherine Moss

2024-12-09 22:19:53 +0000 UTC

“The CEO was a devoted husband and father!” Actually makes me hate him more. He was capable of showing love and empathy for his family - yet when it came to the children of other people, well, no empathy for them. If he was a cold blooded psychopath in his private life at least you could go “well he’s a monster of course he did this job.” Him choosing to gleefully murder untold numbers of people to pad his wallet while being a “devoted husband and father” doesn’t make me feel for him the way these pundits want it to. Saying “see? He had feelings and love in his heart - all of which he gladly set aside to throw human beings into a meat grinder for his personal profit.” Is not the W these folks seem to believe it is.

Cthulhusbedandbreakfast

2024-12-09 22:09:14 +0000 UTC

Beatrice VonPage

2024-12-09 20:53:36 +0000 UTC

its weird bc i sorta figured if they "found" him it would be some sort of patsy situation or whatever, but him being apprehended in altoona is just an absolute looney tunes scenario, its too weird to be true and too weird to not be true at the same time for reasons that i cant entirely explain but will be self evident to anyone whos spent a good amount of time there

Are we gonna get a followup on the Lecther County Judge that was shot? https://lawandcrime.com/crime/running-a-brothel-judge-killed-in-chambers-by-sheriff-was-part-of-sextortion-scheme-where-women-on-house-arrest-exchanged-sex-for-special-treatment-lawyer-says/

I'll be pissed if this isn't covered on the podcast 🤣 https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/12/04/opinion/thepoint?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare#brian-thompson-luigi-mangione

I knew a lot of smart, educated women who read tha fairy smut series last winter

Bring back the Terrance magical world of tabs segment

Al Golani, leader of Al Qaeda aka Hayat Tahrir al Sham, is in Damascus Syria and has a $10 million bounty so if you have some medical debt tips.fbi.gov

Damn

As a former Syrian Democratic Forces soldier, I would love to come on the pod and talk about the leftist project in eastern syria and the international actors involved in it.

I can’t wait until they start putting Patreon teasers in the main feed and still don’t give patrons the main episodes. Maybe if I make a twitter account Tarence will listen lol

Books are great. You ever read everything Vonnegut wrote in order? Turned me from a lib to a commie.

I have just glimpsed Luigi’s dick pic y’all

I think we do need a lil' Fun Dip into that bag though.. a lil' taste for the listeners. Is good! Kinda sour, kinda sweet.. plenty of burnt sugar. Second that on the T-Tabz.👍🏼

hold up we getting t-shirts?

I’m sad I missed the window on t-shirts. If you ever do them again you’ll have at least one buyer in me. Also the outro music is 🤌

So here’s the path Because it’s not safe for ceos anymore, even after anonymising, companies decide they have to have Ai CEOs who aren’t susceptible to assassination ….theres not really a step 2 other than “bad AI society”

And they will, quietly.

Yes I just always thought Hostels were a European thing.

Nice closing track

“Blacks rule” man you unlocked a great memory

Need a Kentucky take on the French government collapsing and South Korean president getting the axe

Both mufasa and darth vader - voiced by james earl jones 🧐... bashar al-assad 🧐coincidence? I think not

Outro music 🥰

I ain’t seen a DAMN person say “no more tab roulette” I’d take that over the ethicist, or any other time-filling topics. I think the Patreon crowd is pretty clear on what they want; who gives a fuck what the twitters say

WE WANT THE TABS! GIVE US THE TABS!

“After the possibility of violence being foisted upon them reached a non-negligible likelihood, the healthcare company reversed its decision” As an aside, the only problem with this is that the companies can wait until the heat is off them and do this policy again

Saville reference before 10 min mark is diabolical

“He wanted to DO something about it [policyholder anger]” Like what, automate claim denial using AI?

Syria is the fucking meme where the guy is saying, “more like under new management”

Male painters 💁‍♂️🙋‍♂️

Are you from here?

Crack Cop scales rockwall at incredible speed, only to tragically fall from top having had their grip moistened upon licking their fingers.

Crack isn't super easy to make but it's not that hard either.. and thank God the only reason my parents stayed together long enough to make me was because my dad can't chef for shit.... My mom's isn't much better but at least can get some product back. ... Lol

Hmm maybe books have a small influence on many people. But if people live in their heads or are isolated—like by distance or illness—they can really hit. I think we get run so ragged in part to keep us from having the time to come across books or art.

Like this comment to join the petition for main episodes to be uploaded to the patreon feed

what's this preface? pigs phoning in a patsy ain't news

BRING BACK TABS (I don’t hate this though. I love it all.)

Bring back the tab segment!!! Love u guys!!!

I'd like to think they were making crack in the break-room, with whatever was available, and it surprisingly turned out fairly well, quality-wise. Turns out stevia is a pretty decent stabilizer.

Cops sell drugs all the time, that and human trafficking (and selling weapons) are some of their main functions.

The odds on that must be astronomical.

Thanks for the update on the shirts, Tom. I need mine for a work holiday party.

"Husband and father? That doesn't move me." lmfao

My mom’s birthday! My brother’s is on 9/11. Every year I wonder if it’s gonna be my time.

And...AND...the CEO shooter is how I find out that hostels exist in America? I had no idea.

The situation in Syria gave us one of the all-timers with Gary Johnson's "What is Aleppo?" in 2016. That's really all I know about it, but I'm sure what's happening there now is probably very bad.

How did I miss the T-shirts?

lmao after giving it more than a moments thought, a pit stop city along a major interstate and a couple smaller highways makes as much sense as anywhere else to get nabbed BUT altoona is still an uncanny ass city which i think was what most of my reaction hinged on

Listen to Your Favorite Band sucks for Paul Simon dirt. He’s worse than you thought.

A book recommendation on the US loving instability. “Empire of Disorder” by Alain Joxe.

It was December 7th ffs

It’s so wild that that author was calling doctors and specialists the “profiteers” of privatized healthcare, conveniently ignoring the fact that there is an entire unnecessary administrative workforce that exists because our healthcare is privatized.

Another angle for me is that he had the resources and means to be a devoted husband and father and have his own house etc. I'm barely scraping by as a single person with no children and things don't look like they will be getting any better any time soon.

Yeah, sus indeed.

Tom the thing with gracelands was that he broke the boycott. He made up for it by subsequently channeling money to the liberation struggle, so im told

The problem with Graceland is that he broke the cultural boycott at the time to make it. Apparently paid and credited African artists well but also ripped off some american artists in the writing process

Yeah. I think he wanted to be found. Saw it coming. Idk why else he would have all that evidence on him.

He may have just wanted to be found because it doesn’t make any other sense.

please talk about 3d printed guns

Love the little outro jam

Your revolutionary brothers are waiting in Iowa.

I totally get that. I feel the same about where I live.... Summerdale Al. I appreciate the sentiment you have for it and glad you made the distinction. 🖤

not a read on altoona, i love altoona, but there are just a lot of that kind of person there

Ahhhh fuck. Sounds horrible! Thanks for shedding some light on it.

if u were going south on 99 its the biggest stop for a while so i could see that, its a very sleepy city but not exactly somewhere i would try to disappear if i was the target of a nationwide manhunt, its filled with very moralistic ppl who watch the tv news all day lol

I know it's by 99, but is it a town with much pass-through traffic like maybe he just stopped for food or somewhere soneone would hide out?

Drop a foot and the narcs jaw. 🖤

Sus, for sure. There's soooo many ways and places to ditch all the stuff between point a and point b. Maybe he figured he'd be caught long before he made his escape so he didn’t care , maybe he planned to duce out on his own terms.... who knows but I certainly hope we find out.
