Bro, they're forcing me to start a podcast to promote my standup

"Shows aren't enough anymore"

Why can't I just do the thing I am doing, why does everything need an extra lil performance

Think I joined the bad guys by accident. They're telling me to stand next to red barrels marked as highly explosive

Ah so maybe the “depictions of fictional violence is the same as real violence” people and “ChatGPT should have personhood” people are maybe the same type of people

George Orwell sucks part 3

- BBC fund both Animal Farm and 1984, both intended as criticism of Russia
- in 1949 creates list of potential communist threats for the UK gov and the CIA

The most famous anti-surveillance author is himself part of the propaganda machine that discourages dissent

George Orwell sucks part 2

- starts working for the BBC, first makes anti-nazi propaganda, then anti-communism propaganda
- 1940 review of the Mein Kampf (paraphrasing): I know I should kill him, but I can't bring myself to dislike him. He's pathetic in a very endearing way

George Orwell (Eric Arthur Blair) fucking sucked

- gramps was a plantation owner, dad an opium lord - that's old fucking money
- spent youth in Burma as surveillance specialist
- joined the Spanish civil war but his comrades hated him so much he had to flee the country

My favorite excerpt of this is Bill Burr apparently not knowing that Saudi Arabia is a major American ally.
When he flew into Saudi Arabia, Burr's nervousness crept back, but he was struck by the amount of local Western influence. "You think everybody's going to be screaming
'death to America and they're going to have like fucking machetes and want to like chop my head off, right?" Burr said. "Because this is what I've been fed about that part of the world. I thought this place was going to be really tense. And I'm thinking like: Is that a Starbucks next to a Pizza Hut next to a Burger King next to McDonald's ...? They got a fucking Chili's over here!"
