Professional Left Podcast Episode 1019: Where's the Beef?


“A__ Po_itics is _oca_."  -- The legacy media needs to buy a vowel.



















For The Record, Toby Was Right About Hamburger


And CJ was 100%, pollyannaish wrong about "the public".


Because there is no such thing as "the public".  There is the plurality who does their best to listen to facts an experts.   And then there's that huge chunk of the public which is either drunk on Fox News lies or desperately wants to blame "both sides".  

And taken together, the Fox News zombies and the Both Siderists are enough to capsize the country.

It's Not Science Fiction, It Just Seems Like It


It's not from an adjacent dimension or an alternate timeline.  

There was a time within living memory, kids, when intelligent people sat around tables having civilized conversations about interesting subjects.  And you could watch it on the teevee!

From 1982, this is Isaac Asimov, Harlan Ellison, and Gene Wolfe discuss science-fiction writing with Studs Terkel and Calvin Trillin on the Alpha Repertory Television Service (ARTS), the predecessor of today's A&E (Arts and Entertainment Network). 

The program was called "Nightcap: Conversations on the Arts and Letters."

Enjoy.

Stupid Shit Andrew Sullivan Says Returns for One Night Only


It had been such a delightfully long time since anyone had spotlighted Mr. Sullivan that, like a condemned building along a route I no longer take to work, gradually my awareness of Mr. Sullivan's existence as a Conservative relic from a time gone by just blessedly faded away.

Until today, when I had to metaphorically take the old route to work and, hey, I wonder if that shabby old thing is still standing?

And lo and behold he is.  Over on Substack, of course, and still cranking out that same lazy, clapped out Both Siderist flapdoodle.


Because what else has he got?
