Andrew Hudson of the E1 Podcast joins us for a look at RFK’s war on the remaining public health systems we have in this country. The CDC, vaccine requirements, Medicaid, inconvenient studies, and even germ theory are all on the chopping block as part of an initiative that’s half austerity, half health Calvinism. We then look more broadly at the vampiric, techno-eugenicist regime that sees Laura Loomer deny entry to Palestinians seeking medical treatment, lawsuits against surrogate mothers, and an organ-hunting Thiel acolyte appointed to the CDC. Lastly, we read a strange Wall Street Journal op-ed about how the movies are making socialism cool for the youth.

Wow, that is a very depraved photo. Why in the hell would anyone running for office be dumb enough to even appear in a photo like this?

Justin Racine

Irony RFK believes in Miasma theory while actual terrible air is coming from these wildfire smogs in Pacific and Canadian regions and haven't heard him talk once on that. More proof of a hack he is in even his own supposed adherence to his own theory if he doesn't care about cancer causing particles in the atmosphere .3.

Andrew is the man. Rfk Jr is literally demonic. This should be a banger

E1's premium episode that came out today also has Felix. Talk about corporate synergy!

Where all my Shemp heads aaaaat?!

Big Problem

I hated RFK jr. when he ran and I became aware he’s a philanderer peddling dangerous pseudoscience but I REALLY started to hate him when he started kissing the ass of a man that physically embodies the exact opposite of what he’s supposed to be for just for the sake of a shameless drive for power and position. Absolute malevolent idiot and every Trump 2 guy is the same kind of bottom-feeder. Anyone know if there’s a Sirhan Jr.?

drizzly_november

Does this ep have any clips of RFK’s voice? If so, I need a trigger warning, what the fuck is wrong with that guy.

Robert Burk

Seed oils are fine and healthier than beef tallow. Steered peanut butter is good! But I agree with everything else.

Jackson

You know it doesn’t top the immigration policy or (obviously) palestine but everything happening with the healthcare policy is very high up in the most truly depressing aspects of this admin. It coincides with a larger nihilism I have about how public attitudes have been shifting since covid but like this feels like one of those things that is just going to cause continuous serious damage without any real comprehensible motivation even within the conservative mindset. At least when they rip away any laws preventing companies from poisoning your groundwater you understand the motive, but the health side of conservatism has fully devolved into destroying everything keeping your kid from dying because the wrong kid coughed on them at school just out of like, contrarianism. Just a belief that everything that is widely understood is wrong and we need to sacrifice our parents and children just to test if germ theory is actually real. And all these people around RFK probably don’t even really believe it but just have been overtaken by this lust to own the libs.

Jackson

It’s bizarre because I don’t think he has any principles but also there’s no real reason to push most if the stuff he is from really any viewpoint, including corporate profit which at least can be zeroed in on as the reason for most this shit. I think he believes in nothing, not in the sense that he has no beliefs, but that he disbelieves everything. Just on paranoid instinct. He doesn’t believe in any of modern medicine but doesn’t seem to actually believe in his own alternative answers to it either. I don’t think he really even has a coherent conception of what motivates him, this is just what he has decided is his life goal

Ok but the seed oil thing is 100% fake. Seed oils are demonstrably better for you than saturated fat

SMP500

I’ll never forget the day when my dad came home for work straight to the pantry for his requisite spoon of Skippy only to storm out a minute later screaming “WHO REPLACED THE PB WITH THIS GARBAGE” referring to Teddy Organic Peanut Butter (real MA heads will know). He never went in with the spoon again as my mother had vanquished him.

Mcjibbs

Fully agree on Chevy Chase. That man has never been funny a day in his life.

Robert Burk

Ha, the word polymerization doesn't make something bad automatically. Human randomized controlled trials have shown it is fine.

psychic damage inducing episode

glaourgbn

"i'm not moralising" mate the only reason I'm here is the unapologetic moralising. libs who say they're "not moralising" are always just agreeing with whatever's in power already

12345

There is a relative wealth of evidence demonstrating the cholesterol benefits of unsaturated fats (most plant based fats aside from coconut) versus saturated fats (animal/coconut). Eg. https://www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD011737.pub3/full evidence regarding 'polymerised seed oils' is largely theoretical. Your fear seems to be anti-intellectualism that amounts to not much more than 'long words are scary'.

Of course these lipstick socialists don't like good working class movies like caddy shack. They love any show about the ultra wealthy, like succession, but can't stand working class shows like Laverne and Shirley. Go take another Labor day vacation while anyone who does actual labor has to go to work!

I always thought “Blues Brothers” was boomer slop. But what do I know? I don’t got no problem with it. John Candy’s good in it.

Heathers is the ultimate gen x movie

Waffle Poet

Hollow by Brian Catling.

DT

I wonder if he doesn't have some kind of cognitive disorder that renders him both extremely suggestible and incapable of introspection or self awareness/consistency. Hopping around between people on TikTok giving idiotic health advice and going "yeah that sounds okay, I'll do that now" as long as they're entertaining enough until he bumps into another one and says the same thing. And he does this until he's just a rolling clump of other people's crazy wellness bullshit and he's literally incapable of reaching the logical conclusion that it can't all be true at the same time.

Ligma

More gen x hate please. While everyone has been yapping on about "boomers" for the past decade they have completely missed the real societal disease. We need a second Cultural Revolution to mass cull the Xers

kron

so true, I'm gen z and I live in a small town where the only protests are anti trump lib ones and it's all boomers and the people who drive by and flip us off and swear at us are always Xers

Schwartz666

Some controversial opinions at the end, but glad Mr Chapo is on the right side of history about Leslie... RIP 🐐

Larry

Well! I assure you, the wealthy dowager will simply not stand for such Stooge slander!

TLT

andrew the real one, 100

Skitzaf Raynik

It’s so dark dude. They don’t even seem to want to do anything but cause suffering. The people supporting this shit freak me out the most because they’re also catching a shovel-full of shit straight to the face and they’re fine with it as long as they can hurt (insert slur here). The thing where they shut down all investment into renewable energy… like why even have a country anymore. There is no future. We’re just being slaughtered. They’re ripping the copper out of the walls.

Ligma

X'ers just run on hate and resentment for everything. Fully poisoned by the Neolib kool-aid of blaming everything on the government, and having no shared values, responsiblity, or community. They just wish they 14 in the 80s again.

Sean Curtis

I will not accept any criticism of Noah Hawley or Alien Earth, until we have seen at least one smash cut to a fever dream dance battle sequence between the protagonist and a xenomorph. He is just built different, and we have to let him cook.

Gabe P

Leslie Nielsen went to my high school!

Jackson

It’s just completely suicidal, so much of conservative support for issues seems to center on if it makes libs mad, so like they do stuff that is clearly bad and will hurt everyone but since libs are upset about it that just immediately justifies whatever it is to the base. If it’s upsetting dems its self evident its good. Even though that would include like, shooting all the animals in a zoo for fun. A lot of shit upsets dems because it should upset everyone, but they see it upset dems and immediately decide they support it before considering if they even actually like it. As you said, theres no real focus on improving anything, just being able to take everyone they hate down with them. Just festering resentment and nothing else

Setimika

Shout out to all my homies with mitochondrial issues

Elai Kehler

keep thinking about the evil lady who fucking posted a picture of the stillborn that sicko needs to be dragged from her house and torn limb from limb i fucking hate the fact that i share a planet with that fuck

Matthew Perpetua

you guys are definitely mixing up boomers with gen x in a lot of these examples, 3 Stooges as "guy thing" in particular is extremely boomer

Robert Karnick

Only Will’s RFK impression captures his sheer furious energy, like he’s constantly struggling to overpower his vocal cords

J K

RFK is a homunculus

antigonix

Really on point with respect to they flipped woke, i.e. liberal goods and organic type shit: my conservative friend calls himself a centrist now, is anti Trump but loves RFK and called me the other day telling me he wants to start a garden co-op. What the fuck man.

Ross Ben Daniels

RFK Jr is basically Judy from Righteous Gemstones

Gooch Immane

MSJ at DeathCorner can do an RFK that might scratch that itch permanently.

Sebastian Gonzalez

Special Adeline

Ive lived in a big shipbuilding town my whole life and as a result have a battleship hat for the USS John McCain lol

Special Adeline

Also funny quirk of living in a town where 50 percent of the population works at the shipyard is that my middle school's mascot was the destroyer (type of battleship they build there) and my high school mascot was the shipbuilder (like just the concept of somebody who works at the shipyard)

Bob Chappell

i was born in 1979 and have no idea what side i should take. The Blues Brothers suck though

Once again here to say that the peanut butter you have to stir is far better

Filius Fob

Oh, man, I love you guys, but 1) Will, you've subtly shifted your position on seed oils oils to saying they're not bad to saying yes they're bad, but frying stuff in lard isn't much worse than frying them in seed oils. Yes it is, because lard is saturated fat and thus doesn't become hydrolysed. And, yes, in either case, fries are shit because they're full of carbs and thus feed tumours. 2) Yes, the China shit IS real. This is not debatable anymore. The CIA was already exploring this well before the outbreak. The WIV were doing BSL-4 research at BSL-2. Fauci was funding coronavirus research at Wuhan because Obama had banned it in the US. The fucking virus emerged a short distance from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Peter Daszak and EcoHealth Alliance were a funding intermediary. I watched am episode of Virology This Week from late 2019 in which he boasted of these bat viruses that collected from caves and brought 1000km to Wuhan. Samples collected from sewerage systems in, IIRC, Milan and somewhere else in Europe in early 2019 were widely reported, showing the virus was already around by then. Several people were afflicted at the Military Games with a mysterious "pneumonia-like" disease in 2019 in China — Wuhan, IIRC. And the LANCET's own investigation into COVID-19 was abandoned by it's leader, Jeffery Sachs, because he couldn't get conflict-of-interest statements by people like Daszak who cited lawyers' advice. And the Right to Know group, who systematically does FOI requests, showed that the authors of the famous Nature "zooontiic origins paper, including Daszak and Fauci, mostly didn't remotely believe the conclusions of the paper. I could go on. Please stop using bourgeois smugness as a substitute for knowledge. I, for one, will be stop being a paid unsubscriber if this doesn't improve.

Hating Blues Brothers is honestly the most preposterous take. Good ep otherwise lol

I’m gonna have to stop you there, brother National Lampoon‘s Vegas Vacation is one of the funniest movies ever made

Felix's Dark Night joke was better than the entirety of Spaceballs. I also want to second that everyone needs to get off the jock of The Goonies

More anti working-class rhetoric from the east coast elites besmirching the poor man's heroes. The stooges taught America how to pop off monocles from wealthy dowagers with crass behavior at a time we needed it most.

1:19:57 Blues Butters

Nolan

Jumping up and down hearing Foetus played in this one

DT

MAHA saw those banner ads about "ONE WEIRD TRICK YOUR DOCTOR DOESN'T WANT YOU TO KNOW" and thought they were real. We all know rightoids are extremely credulous and weirdly emotionally invested in advertising, so I might not be joking here.

Dongo

Stooge-heads, we cannot take this insult lying down

Bill Maher-a-Lago

Gen X guy here. Blues Brothers isn't great because it's funny (for the most part it isnt), it's great because it features great performances by James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Cab Calloway, John Lee Hooker, Ray Charles, Steve Cropper, Duck Dunn, etc. -- elite tier R&B performers. Their primary audiences in their imperial phases were boomers, btw

Chris

Jeffrey Sacks lol

Key West is the new Molokai

Sean Enright

Does anyone else want to like Alien Earth but can’t get past the adult actors acting like children thing. They’re bad at it and it’s too much. I wonder if the main one even watched her child counterpart’s performance at all. I love Noah Hawley but can’t get through this one.

drizzly_november

Florida’s surgeon general sounds like the Harkonnen doctor in Lynch’s Dune: “Your disease, Baron, is love to me!”

Rory Flaherty

It's crazy that he made a spiderous reeves reference bc I read my kid that story all the time

Jim Chapman

I think The Onion was right: RFK, jr. threw up the Big Mac immediately after he got off Trump’s plane.

Will

I think the joke in the blues brothers is that they're acting cool/black but are not those things???

Rev. Dallas Dupont

these guys don’t really know what preventative medicine is

James Masters

I mean fuck Chevy Chase, but Spys Like Us was pretty great. I'm 48, sooo, don't drag me.

Grassy Gnoll

20 Days Later, the virus is release because of commy animal rights nutters raiding the facility and releasing the infection into the world. So, communists bad? The guy should a least watch the damned film first. The evil capitalist did create the virus in the first place though.

——

Akiyama is actually Korean. He just lived in Japan and adopted a Japanese pseudonym for his Japanese fans. Once again Felix is wrong about mma

Richard Cochnar

Ordered a copy of Hollow after hearing this ep. Not sure I’ve ever wanted to read a book more.

nick

28 Years Later “glorifies socialism” because the rage virus escaped a lab? How does that comment on socialism at all? (In the original, the virus is accidentally unleashed by left wing animal rights activist, so you’d think the author would perhaps say it’s good for exposing socialism as dumb?) Conservative writers with awful takes on movies should like 28 Years Later because it’s about a retvrn to traditional English village life.

CS

There is literally no medical doctor that can argue in good faith that cooking in animal fat produces better health outcomes than seed oils. How anyone thinks otherwise is beyond me.

——

When it comes to Covid chapo really turns into Stephen Colbert cnn liberals

CS

It’s not even close. One has cholesterol, the other doesn’t; one has been proven to increase the risk of heart disease and certain types of cancers, the other doesn’t.

Shoutout Andrew for the small soldiers reference. Highly underrated popcorn classic that should have been nominated for several Oscar. Five bags and a little gi Joe toy

I’m committed to watching it to see where it goes. But I have an almost allergic reaction to the show for the exact reasons you outline.

nick

Say Anything

Hank

Spaceballs rocks hard

nick

How on earth did anyone get it into their heads that RFK Jr, a man with a brain worm and a heroin habit, who eats roadkill, who sounds like he’s drowning in phlegm, is a paragon of healthy living?

Sean Enright

I’ll probably get back to it but I discovered a whole season of Foundation came out without my knowing so that’s given me an excuse for a break. Even “bad” Alien-related output contributes to the lore and the world-building. I want to know more about the 5 corporations, less about what it means to be a cyborg. And less boring brother, sorry. The Ice Age stuff is nauseating.

Sean Enright

She really talked to Wired thinking she’d be portrayed as the victim-crusader but the real story was what if Patrick Bateman but dumb and baby crazy.

Sean Enright

It’s the car chase(s) for me, when they’re piling up cop cars one by one. The movie has some good looney tunes shit in the second half.

Doug Cartel

Please warn us next time you use audio of RFK slurring his words, that was repulsive to my ears the way that video of some weird sea bug flopping on a treadmill was repulsive to my eyes

Doug Cartel

Preferably sirens and a countdown

Bears Unltd.

I gotta explain Blues Brothers. You shouldn't like it, it's not for you. The only reason why I do was because I was a fuckup and went to college for vocal performance and ended up being a backup singer for a series of small-time, seed-gigging horn bands. The reason why Blues Brothers is good is because of the unparalleled musical performances and charts in the movie. The music goes so incredibly hard if you like R&B or rock. The Blues Brothers is funny because it presents an exaggerated but vibrationally accurate portrayal of a bunch of scumbag musicians trying to "get the band back together." It plays on a lot of tropes about this generation of musicians who play old music that nobody cares about anymore because *live* music from small and mid-level bands just isn't a thing now. The art form is dead, and the movie died with it. I'm too young for it, too. The only reason why I care is because these old hacks would get their bands back together, and they were the only ones who would hire me to step-touch and ooh behind them. Don't try watching it again, you still won't like it. Just let it be dead

Sean Enright

I was trying to remember what his lore was other than eating a lot.

Doug Cartel

'theyre setting the stage to blame people' - medical Calvinism is one way to look at it, I think another way is that they're *running america like a business* - in other words, offloading as much cost and liability onto the consumer, like any business that's serious about profits does. I barely remember anything about what school taught me about ancient Rome, but 'Caveat Emptor' is burned into my brainstem and it's the corpo's battle cry, basically

CS

Hopping trains town to town hosting campaign events for food

SPENCER PIBBLES

Blues Brothers is awesome. The worst take I've ever heard from Felix

George P

no smugness here, nope none at all

Doug Cartel

Worth noting that the Bush dynasty did things this way - put someone in charge of The Department of Babies who wants to kill and eat Babies or whatever, but they were careful about being quiet about it. This is a lot louder and boisterous about their hostility to the rest of us

Doug Cartel

'you know how you watch a bad movie and it feels like it never ends? That's what this zohran guy is like, except I'm the viewer and I'm being tortured by seeing him succeed. Everyone else is too because everyone else agrees with me. Zohran is like a bad movie because I am in agony'

RFK is The Pain

Jim jones

Of course these libs don't understand the nuance of the stooges!

This issue has driven me insane.

Davin

Cherub sashimi!! 🤣

Matelda

The Three Stooges is not for guys, it's for children. Parents got it from the video store for their kids, and guys are such pussies nowadays that they probably remember it as a heroic past just because clowns hitting each other with mallets is not woke.

Ranni

Tried to gaslight myself into liking The Blues Bros as a kid because my dad insisted it was good

Nathan

Another insane part of the surrogate article: Bi also hired psychics to give her answers. As she tells it, they all blamed Smith[the surrogate]. One suggested that an ex-boyfriend of Smith’s had turned her against Baby Leon. Another claimed to see traumas on Smith’s belly and said she was clearly having rough sex. He warned: “She has something to hide.”

Chas Padunski

Thank you, Felix. I’ve been saying this about medieval people and Doritos for years. They were putting cinnamon in cod and stuff. We couldn’t take their food.

Blues Brothers slaps, sorry.

——

I think his name is hoon or even yoon

Suad Yoon

His Korean name is Choo Sung-hoon. Like many zainichi, his great grandfather moved his family to Japan during the colonization era and they chose a Japanese last name in order to integrate into Japanese society and avoid discrimination

I ll let him have this one. But I ll be back when he inevitably says something way more incorrect than this.

like it isn't even close

Ashley-tray

that whole book is filmed with the most insane liberal nonsense i’ve ever heard. Iran and Pakistan have a nuclear exchange! Castro helps a bunch of white american refugees turn Cuba capitalist! A Chinese nuclear submarine crew helps liberal revolutionaries win a new Chinese Civil War by nuking the CCP out of existence! The North Korean population disappears overnight using scary Asian Communist superpowers! Mexico turns into Atzlan for some reason, which is only kind of lib coded and never explained but still very funny. Russia becomes a theocratic police state, and a South African former Apartheid official saves the world by sacrificing millions with a in-universe co-sign from Nelson Mandela

Ashley-tray

oh, and the East German govt was the real Nazi safe house btw

Dietary cholesterol does not necessarily mean increased blood cholesterol.

khomen in the membrane

I mean yeah there's an ldl vs hdl conversation to be had and genetic factors but it seems wildly insincere to bring up in this context given that the most surefire dietary cholesterol source you could choose if you were gunning for hyperlipidemia is the one in question. There's just no way to frame eating a bunch of animal fats as the healthier dietary choice in general or vis a vis cholesterol.

Jonathan Thomas

I believe in eugenics in as much that families of the 1% should certainly not be allowed to reproduce.

Great Chicago locations too

Herby Blemphis

They really don’t though. Acknowledging there are long term effects to being repeatedly infected with a viral disease is the bare minimum.

Huge Logo

But they don’t even mention them… Sigh… never mind. It’s not that great a movie but those performances are timeless.

Hot Rod

“But why?” Was from Van Wilder, not Harold and Kumar.

Sexual Harry Potter

Blues brothers is one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen you guys are so full of shit. You’re saying “it’s just nostalgia there’s nothing actually funny about it” when you haven’t seen it since you were in third grade. Dude they crash the car like 20 times and then for the next 10 minutes afterwards like 50 cars crash into them or go flying and explode for no reason it’s fucking hysterical. I don’t doubt that everyone involved in making it was functionally retarded and it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense but it’s like a perfect Felix movie I cannot believe this betrayal

Sexual Harry Potter

And snowpiercer and the menu suck?? Wtf do you guys consider good movies

MKatieUltra

Margbaramerica was saying that RFK takes some research chemical that makes you produce more melanin when you tan, so he's doing medical blackface lol. It also somehow makes you more horny which is great for him

Aaron Christmas

As a Cajun you can take alligator tenders from my cold dead hands

Nick M

“You’re women, how much for the girls? Sell me your children!” Ray Charles shooting a gun at the kid trying to steal the guitar. Illinois Nazis driving off the edge of the unfinished highway. It’s ok to have different taste Felix, Blues Brothers is a great musical/comedy

Tristan Abbott

RFK is like if Jimmy Stewart played the Corinthian from the Sandman comics

Might be worth getting an MMR booster or getting your titers checked cos getting measels can wipe out existing immunity to lots of past illness, they call it immune amnesia

there has to be something about a bunch of people who decry postmoderism and how everyone now gets to build their own little personal realities, then themselves rejecting really basic core objective facts like, vaccines cure illnesses, and building a mental cathedral where eating tallow fries make you a more wholesome body and mind

Sorry, but it just makes sense that Israel would do the best in a zombie apocalypse. They're highly defensive and already attack their neighbors like they're inhuman monsters

Chris Allen

I don’t think their movie takes in this one were that provocative, but Fletch does rule. Point taken about Chevy Chase, he is overrated. But he really killed it in Flatch IMO.

Chris Allen

He was in H&K. When Kumar has to do that emergency surgery, RR does the meme when Kumar proposes a procedure they weren’t expecting or whatever. He also gets creepily flirty with Harold.

Suad Yoon

Anyway if you haven’t seen it yet, physical 100 season one is really good (on Netflix). Akiyama is in it

Michael Landreth

No. It is the scene in which Harold and Kumar dress as doctors to be able to move freely around the hospital in search of medical marijuana. Ryan Reynolds, believing they are real doctors, pull them into an emergency surgery to save a patient from imminent death. Kumar begins barking orders to the staff in the OR, including the order “Bring me marijuana stat!” Reynolds’ response: “Marijuana? But, why?”

Dee Rubes

He was selected, I think, because this regime hates health and healthcare for anyone other than them. So they need someone who can, as mentioned, ease people away from the idea that they should look to hospitals and doctors for their wellbeing. Which means snake oil salesmen.

Max

Blues Brothers sucks as a comedy. But if you watch it for what it is, a movie lengthed music video then it rules.

Suad Yoon

Judy is way more likable and has way more natural charisma

Peter Flynn

Saltburn is one of the most pro-wealth movies I've ever seen! Literally a scary bedtime story for the aristocracy about a depraved middle class boogeyman coming to fuck your whole family and take all your stuff.

wet_poptart

I agree with all of the takes in this episode except for the EGREGIOUSLY terrible sin of conflating Steve Albini with the goddamned fucking Blues Brothers

wet_poptart

It’s also, separately from any themes or societal commentary, just a really fucking shitty movie

wet_poptart

Counterpoint: they are both

AbeLinkin

I won’t stand for the Caddyshack slander. Pro working class message. Bill Murray and Rodney Dangerfield’s characters are great. The guy who plays the Judge plays a good asshole WASP.

dongfeng bong᷍gringø

think i watched World War Z when i was younger (i remember really not liking it), but after seeing a clip of the Jerusalem scene with a glorified IOF and a giant mass of human beings crowd crushing and climbing over each other towards massive concrete walls built around an illegally occupied city; i've been saying for a while now that it has to be one of the most overtly genocidal, maximally-dehumanizing fantasies i've seen in modern media (high bar, too) and it's impossible to ignore the parallels/detach it from the reality we have been seeing in Gaza for the past 2 years. not to mention the insane plot point of israelis 'graciously allowing the Palestinians to temporarily come back to their own land during the zombie apocalypse, only for them to be ungrateful and somehow a nuisance (pests? cockroaches? Radio Genocide Rwanda?) to their occupying-hosts; the Nobly Inbred Zionist Pigdogs'. they spend a notable chunk of the dogshit storyline establishing and absolutely drilling into the feeble, Monkey-Bang-Cymbal minds of the audience for this movie that "Helping Palestinians In ANY Capacity Is Always A Naïve And Resoundingly Stupid/Pointless Endeavor, Which Will Actually Make Them MORE Dependent On Us And Unable To Fend For Themselves, Please Do NOT Feed The Arabs. In Fact They Only Behave If You Can Thread The Needle With The Exact Right Tonnage Of Bombs". anyone who likes this movie should be put on a list. and that list should be promptly rendered to me in addition to the intelligence agencies of the DPRK and IRI

Adam Urato

Yeah the zombie genre in general is about brave patriots doing what must be done to the mindless hordes. Haven’t seen WWZ but it sounds like it takes it to Israeli levels of absurdity

holy shit. from andy Kessler's wikipedia: 《Among his many other writings, in an April 26, 2007 guest column in The New York Times, entitled "Trust Me", Kessler wrote in part: "There are plenty of things I don’t trust – like Wikipedia. I’ve watched my 15-year-old son and his friends take turns editing the page for the animated film 'Land Before Time,' flipping the gender of the character Littlefoot from he to she and back."》

Can't defend the movie, but in the book, Cuba and North Korea also are able to defend against the zombies. Cuba provides the base for the retaking of the rest of North America.

To me, the scariest part of the surrogacy article was that Bi (the rich lady) was manifestly stupid and doing severe crimes in public. And yet her dumb start up still got tens of millions in VC capital. She’s still rich. She will always be fine.

In world war Z, the book, North Korea fairs well because the populace is instructed to rip all their teeth out so they can't infect each other.

And I will say it, as an avowed Chase hater: He is freakin' great in that movie! "Do you do drugs Danny?" "Everyday" "Good..."

pizzapope

maybe they can trick rfk into doing this for real; he’ll have to strangle an elephant, a blue whale, and an albatross with his bare hands

Wilko

I think the reason that we have so many billionaire villains is because it rings true on an instinctual level to most people. So what this hack really hates is the fact that people recognize & spell out the problems with capitalism.

THEKILLERWHALE

The only thing I will say for that oped is that i agree that these "rich people are depraved" shows and movies are a poor and toothless excuse for satire.

Oliver Elliott

I love the judge’s speech about not wanting to give kids the death penalty but he felt he owed it to them. Obama basically unironically says the same thing about his drone strikes in one of his many memoirs.

No, seed oils are not bad for you, meta-studies have shown that the health outcomes from consuming canola oil, and olive oil, which is widely considered the healthiest, are the same. Beef fat is much worse for you. It drives me crazy that this misinformation is so widely spread, when anyone can just google “meta study seed oil health”, and watch a YouTube video by a doctor explaining the study to you.

Ceruleania

Mariners mentioned. It’s Rah-leigh though not Ray-lee

NerdsMakeMedia

Three stooges invariably make fun of elite wealthy people. Their language humor can also be very clever and satirical. They made 200 shorts, of course some were mediocre. Mo playing Hitler is remarkable and better than most satire of the time. Okay, I understand why many people don’t like them, but they are good medicine for me and my two sons.

re: the medieval peasant would explode if they were explosed to Doritos Cool Ranch thing, I was reading a history book about the early French colonies in Canada and it did say that the Mohawks went nuts for salted food, like they kept bothering the colonists to have more of it also like if you want to speak about processed food, the British empire did fuck up 75% of the surface of the planet to get tea, tobacco, opium and whatever "spice" actually is in context

mexicanhalloween .

such a topical reference they had, only 21 years ago, incredible

Ghordo

Felix should make Seth MacFarlane explain how The Blues Brothers is funny.

Matt Dear

wet market is any market that sells fresh food; veg, meat, fish etc. Zoonotic origin is the most likely, over time the evidence mounts in it's favour, it always was the most likely origin at any point in the timeline.

Edison Franklin

Frankly canola is a pretty great oil, all things considered.

THANK YOU 🙏

Nick King

Right?! A movie loaded with cameos from some of the most respected musical artists in the country's history delivering straight bangers in combination with an hour of dunking on cops and Nazis in the most absurd ways imaginable. Yet they don't get how people liked it?! To all that is holy, call the bullpen and bring in the Christman!

Kvvvy

To counter Felix's assertion that no one can explain why Blues Brothers is good: it's endlessly quotable. The car chases are legendary, as are the appearances of ray Charles, aretha franklin, and cab calloway (my personal favorite). Carrie fisher's attempts to kill john belushi are delightfully absurd. And finally, let's not forget the unambiguous assertion that country & western = nazi. Also, if Felix hates BB this much, I can only imagine what he thinks about Ferris Bueller's day off. I am categorically not gen X btw.

Hi Gen Xer here. Blues Brothers is 1,000% Boomer. We grew up hearing about how great the BB’s were from them. I mean they perform soul music from the 60’s! A few nerdy Gen Xers were into that shit, but not many.

Talk about fascism, advocating the imprisonment or worse for people that don't trust the medical system and are only potentially hurting themselves. This is coming from an RN with 20 years experience. Love you guys but sometimes you are just plain wrong

Ennui

for anyone who hasn’t read it, the book has its share of not-so-subtle pro-Zionist undertones as well. Max Brooks makes sure you know that he really, really loves Israel and that they’re the smartest, most forward-thinking, and prepared country in the world (besides South Africa) who welcome anyone who used to live within the Israeli borders when shit goes bad. It’s actually pretty vile to read lmao

Felix’s worst take is that the Blues Brothers is bad

Tea for the Tillerman

The only reason why I lean lab leak is that for me it felt unlike any illness I’ve had. Not necessary the worst but very synthetic feeling. Would not put it past it being CIA/contractor and not China lab tho

Matt Dear

It is a novel coronavirus, meaning it's a virus that was previously unknown to effect humans. We were the first humans to be infected with this particular coronavirus germ line. That goes some way to explain why it may 'feel different', but also that isn't a particularly rigorous method of assessment. It could be psychological as much as it is physiological, or entirely. It being leaked from a lab as a concept is not an impossibility. But when the evidence is assessed, zoonotic origin is by far the most likely. Decoding the Gurus did a good episode on this, where they spoke to three experts in the field. This was a couple years ago now, but the evidence for zoonotic was still much stronger than lab-leak, and now that's even further compounded.

I'm convinced Peter Thiel is a meth addict. I used to be a heavy, heavy user and Pete has the greasy wet human skin pulled over a skull look of a daily meth user. He also stammers like a heavy user, someone with a shot dopamine system who is constantly riding the line of meth anxiety and can't keep up the charade during socially difficult moments. I bet he uses meth in a "medically responsible" way, in conjunction with a bunch of other drugs, esp weird downers and smart drugs that he uses to try to keep himself in relative equalibrium. I hope his heart explodes and he does in front of someone who robs his corpse. Piece of sht.

Max

Micro dosing crystal meth, Thiel is truly a visionary.

Zach H.

Chevy Chase is a shitty person, but Modern Problems and Foul Play are still good comedies.

hating the 3 stooges is just plain old fashioned anti-Semitism. Laurel and Hardy don't hold a candle to the stooges, and comparing them to Chaplin & Keaton is apples and oranges. get your shit together guys.

Man fatally shot by ICE in Franklin Park had just dropped off his child at school, Rep. Delia Ramirez says. Now this poor child has no father and her dad was driving on the temporary spare wheel because he probably couldn’t afford to replace it because he’ll never make a decent wage in this settler colony, because of his genotype & ethnicity is discriminated against structurally here for several centuries, including the whole time this place has been a settler colony. While the racist scapegoating president is demanding that states fly their flags at half mast for his Julius Streicher/Kangura copy remunerative hate monger Charlie Kirk who was scapegoating people with bigoted lies in order to foment the settler social dominance group into more hatred against whom they other in order to extract their wealth and luxury from, by condemning them to horrible lives of low wage labor and have for at least two centuries plus. & all because the structurally racist, structurally classist, structurally corrupt, structurally cruel, structurally fascist, impunity drenched structurally psychotic coercive monopoly on violence over this settler colony (so-called police, a.k.a. KKK by night, police by day) is still going to operate with impunity and still profile latinos and African Americans and indigenous like this poor man including his daughter, because that is the way the settler colony operates. And it’s still settler colonialism obviously, because look at how it operates with its coercive monopoly on violence and elevating big lie scapegoating operatives who spew bigotry that the president demands people fly flags half mast for them. And Eurasians can’t wait to come here to cornucope with all of that massive structural discrimination and racism fomented by paid mouthpieces so they can get on the advantage and beneficiary side of all that, and that is just wicked and terrible and disgusting. In this Eurasian settler colony, non-Eurasians don’t even live in the same world as Eurasians do, because of the racism against non-Eurasians, and that is made even more unbearable because most eurasian American don’t care 1 speck and operate as if that isn’t the case and many in shameful ignorance from cradle to grave, because that is how settler colonialism works. 😳😒 https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/2025/09/13/man-fatally-shot-by-ice-officer-in-franklin-park-is-identified  if you've been poor you know how it is to get a flat tire and how much more worrisome it is and how worrisome it is to have to drive around on the crappy temporary spare because you're not going to be able to pay rent and or utilities or feed your kids or yourself &/or you & your significant other if you spend money to get the permanent tire. & then you may have to go into debt with some horrible payday loan just to get the permanent tire and that's gonna cost you large just in the ridiculous interest they charge, and every mile you drive on that temporary spare wheel, you're going to be worrying about that wheel which isn't a permanent tire among other worries, and not just because it's not advisable and dangerous, because you know the cops will profile you because of it, as they always do especially in places like California 😬😞. Because you're poor in America and if you are not Eurasian, it's going to be exponentially harder for you to find a decent paying job, which means your kids probably won't be able to go to college with any help from you, because you can't even get the permanent tire replacement and have to drive around on the temporary spare, but that's how America operates. Believe me I've been there, and I know how hard it is to find work of any decent pay and how hard you have to struggle and how much you will do so for your kids or your loved ones, even if it means driving around on the temporary spare like this poor man.  https://www.wbez.org/immigration/2025/09/12/ice-officer-fatally-shoots-man-during-traffic-stop-in-chicago-suburb-authorities-say ICE officer fatally shoots man during traffic stop in Chicago suburb, authorities say - WBEZ Chicago ---The victim looks poor and has the temporary replacement spare wheel on his car still probably because he couldn't afford to get it replaced (just look at the picture of his car and the front wheel is not the permanent one, it's the cheap spare they install in these vehicles nowadays)---and his neighbor said that he probably was frightened---The structurally racist, structurally corrupt and structurally classist coercive monopoly on violence didn't need to murder him, but they are a coercive monopoly on violence over the settler colony that operate with impunity and always have. It's totally racist, totally profiling Latinos, but also it's a war on the poor; people who can't even afford to get a tire replaced and have to drive around on the temporary spare, just like this poor guy. 😭

Andrew is 100% correct about Laurel and Hardy.

Andy Warden

It’s antisemitic to dislike the 3 stooges.

Reading Catling's Hollow now as per Andrew's recommendation and it is sooooo good! Deeply disturbing medieval fantasy horror based on the works of Breughel and Bosch, it's right up my alley and unlike anything I've read before. Big thanks for the recommend!

That article more or less shows why reading Ayn Rand at a young is a neutotoxin, because they just rage at any stories that don’t support or are against their worldview.
