JFC, Forbes, don’t try to rehabilitate this loser’s reputation. He’s a dumbass whose audience is comprised of dumbasses. People need to stop giving them more importance than they deserve

Yet another reason example of how money does not equal taste. There was a time like 10 years ago with numerous posts about how the secret of success was wearing the same outfit everyday with pictures of Zuckerberg and jobs and I just thought what’s the point of all that money?

This is crazy. I used to work in family placements in the UK and this was a requirement in 2001 (local to where I was, not national at the time)

My brother became anti-Zionist because the Jesuits stationed him in Jerusalem and was severely affected by what he saw with his own eyes

Parable of the Sower is one of my big 3 (because I can’t pick just one favorite book) along with Ursula K Le Guin’s The Dispossessed and Peter S Beagle’s The Last Unicorn. I have so much to read I barely do repeats but I always go back to these 3

Yes and that was one of the primary criticisms of Gore’s run. They don’t have to be a perfect match but they need to have a shared vision. I don’t think Pete really has a vision, which means he can go with AOC’s vision if that’s where the wind is blowing, but dump it if it’s even mildly inconvenient

I don’t think their politics are aligned. Pete is charismatic, but he is not a progressive. Being gay is not automatic progressive credentials

I just finished the last episode a minute ago and was moved to say thank you for the podcast I always recommend to fellow nerds. It’s meant so much to me and so many of my favorite books I first heard about on your show.

I’m watching your episode 2 scene now and when he spoke I wondered why I quivered. Amazon prime has a nice feature of naming the actors in a scene (which other streaming services should adopt tbh) and saw it was you
