  1. Yeah, Kjersti Flaa, along with probably 8-10 other YouTubers, are going all in on this drama with multiple daily videos. Simply because it brings them a lot of views/subscribers, and they are making $$$. I don't think they are being disingenuous with their thoughts and opinions, but hard not to by cynical about the constant stream of "updates". This is the world we live in now. Create online content, take full advantage when you hit on something big.
  2. My first reaction to this was to roll my eyes, even as a Buttigieg fan and supporter. But his temperament and speaking ability is unmatched right now within the Democratic Party, and some sort of consistent appearance in front of a camera is probably a good idea. It won't come off as hysterical or insincere when Pete is explaining the damage already caused by Trump/Musk/GOP. We need a voice of reason.
  3. Just uploaded this gif on to Surly for future use on this thread.
  4. Shit, even "America" is too ethnic. Are we gonna continue to name this place after a goddamn i-talian? Whiteland? Christland? Nah, Jesus was a Jew. Fuck that. Whiteland.
  5. Hearing “Big Sir” and “Bering Straight” are next.
  6. Good point. Does Gulf of Mexico trigger these betas? Now we have to change identities of bodies of waters to appease a bunch of snowflakes?
  7. Captain of that carrier ship will probably get a medal or promotion.
  8. LMAO, someone found a Forbes interview from 2022 where Blake Lively admits she tries to hijack creative control over a film when she is just hired to act. The fucking entitlement is incredible.
  9. I would rather watch Texas play Bumfuck State than literally any other sporting event.
  10. The Eagles tweet is fake. Fuck Twitter.
  11. Holy shit, is that Kristi Noem? She looks fucking hideous. Like the 100 year old demon inside her is taking over the physical form.
  12. NSIAP, I watched this Tim Heidecker episode last night and it's fucking amazing. It's a satire of a Joe Rogan podcast, where everyone nonsensically spews bullshit for over an hour. It's one of the most brilliant bits I've ever seen and they never break character. His Rogan "impersonation" is on point, and the two other guys are perfect representations of his guests. I love it so much.
  13. The funny (or maddening) thing is people like this will continue to publicly support Trump in real life. They'll reply with complaints online, but they'll keep their mouth shut and tow the MAGA line instead of admitting that POS fucked them over.
  14. I hate the discourse about Musk and his drug use. That some external product is the cause of his behavior and viewpoints. It's a copout. Elon is a sociopath. He has a personality disorder.
  15. If Akina passes, I'd make a call to Gary Darnell and Bull Reese
  16. Yes, the right already effectively owns YouTube. The clever thing Trumpians figured out is to connect with users/viewers outside of politics. The Daily Wire has a college football podcast under their umbrella. They hire people to talk about celebrity/entertainment news. Joe Rogan is a force because he covers so many different subjects with his guests, that he's able to capture a viewer's political attention when he focuses on it. Candace Owens is owning the Lively/Baldoni Hollywood drama discourse on YT right now, and the next suggested video from her is an "investigative" documentary series she created to prove Brigitte Macron is a man. Right now you have people like Hasan Piker and Sam Seder at the Majority Report as the longstanding major voices on YT. Half of their content is making fun of Tim Pool and other right wing nuts. It's just not moving the needle and is all about politics all the time. The left needs to cast a much wider net.
  17. If the left wants to re-enter the conversation and capture apolitical or low information people, the venue is YouTube. The usefulness of social media is almost dead. YouTube is free and lots of people (particularly Gen Y & Z) are increasingly watching it to the point where it's effectively replacing cable TV.
