Comments on Talarico by Liberal Japonicus

whoa! blast from the past! I've dropped you an email!

This is slightly related, not really enough for a post, but in regards to Tony noting the belief that Christians have a monopoly on decency, there was this Brooks and Capehart segment on the PBS newshour.

Brooks' had some audio difficulties, so it was mostly Capehart, but before his mike went out, he had this observation

And I have long thought, if Americans see deportations of respectable families, they will finally rebel against this regime, and not just the progressives and not just Democrats, but normal people who are like, what the heck is going on here? And so that's where we're headed.

I'm hoping that the implication that Progressives and Democrats don't count as normal people had someone in the soundbooth say 'fuck him' and shut off his mic.

nous, ooo, nice catch! Thanks!

The Klein shows are available on NYT, if someone has a gift link, I'll add it to the post.

For youtube stuff, click on the description just below and at the bottom of that, you'll get a computer generated transcript. I've occasionally copied the whole transcript and then asked Gemini to format it so I can read it, though that is mostly with japanese stuff.

wonkie, tell me about it. Unfortunately, when I find something I think is interesting to post, if it is at all timely, those are the kinds of things that I find have to cite. It also is shitty because I want to be careful about stating what people are saying, but the whole structure makes that difficult if you want to be careful. I'll try and have the video start at the key point, but it is a pain.

We know. You can also have them speaking to each other naked.

nous, just a quick note in case you didn't know, you can pull a computer generated transcript off of youtube. I've been listening to this sort of stuff while I'm exercising, I certainly understand not wanting to waste time. I'll go back and do that if there is a point I want to double check, copying it and dropping it into bbedit, though the formatting makes it tough sledding to read the whole thing. It's ironic that while at the same time, instagram and tik-tok are trying to give us these concentrated bursts of info, it's simultaneously accompanied by the podcasts that take 15 minutes of content and stretch it to an hour.

I agree with you about Klein, especially about him talking too much. He seems to be angling to be this generation's Broder, whether he realizes it or not.
