@niplav I think the podcast Tides of History has good content on this?

wake up babe we're doing German Romanticism again

Thesis: culture with dull/unenlightened/normie politics
Antithesis: smart/enlightened/edgy political commentary on culture
Synthesis: obscurantist/playful/schizo cultural commentary on politics

In the 2020s, the real cutting edge in culture is treating politics as a space for culture. There are teens who obsess over political compass memes, or over creating webcomics depicting the interactions of polities, or over niche meme political ideologies. There's a strong parallel to rare Pepes.

This is the space of the contrarian arthoe podcasters. They're transitioning their tastes for cultural criticism to ideology itself.

It's the natural evolution of all that goddamn Tumblr commentary.

There's a certain podcast-that-shall-remain-unnamed that's got one host who's a NYC-area art burnout who has now transitioned to unhinged political commentary.

whoops just gonna introduce the finious causation of sign-relations into material dialectics

hopefully the cosmos likes getting tethered up to the eschaton

The human species is a Promethean fire in the universe and this is a good thing for the universe.

Moonie was not welcomed into institutional partisan politics until he made a breakthrough performance in the California senatorial election in 201X, which he the parlayed into his current position as House Minority Whip.

Concept: "Inside Llewyn Davis," but for 80s shock-jocks failing their way up the ladder of reactionary US politics.

"Moonie Ray-Gun" first made his name mocking Jerry Brown, but he wasn't a national figure until he was banned by Johnny Carson from The Tonight Show for his pro-Bernie Goetz comedy set. Moonie's subsequent radio contract was nearly cancelled twice following his mockery of Rodney King, LA rioters, and OJ. But later in the 90s, Moonie seemed to settle into a respectable position...

I'm trying to listen to a YouTube upload of cringy 80s New Age music and I got an ad for "Agilant's" services regarding "oligo nucleotides. What the fuck is this future nonsense.

I'm looking for perspective on this one.
I woke up to mysterious puke outside my back door today. Based on the quantity, I would guess it came from an animal, but based on the placement it seems more human.
What kind of animal wandering around in the darkness arrives at a back door and pukes there?
