The Right once fought back against the radical Left, but now, is it becoming the very monster it sought to slay?Join me w/ Dave Greene (The Distributist) & River Page (The Free Press) for this debate/discussion on whether this swinging pendulum of reaction will ultimately doom the good ideas on the right from being implemented?Even with good ideas on crime, government waste, and immigration, can a movement fix the country if it's more fixated on slop and spectacle than statesmanship? Would the Founding Fathers sneer at JD Vance's MAGA populists just as they would at Maxine Waters?And if the pendulum keeps swinging, does the Right risk dooming its own cause before real change is possible?--Consider Supporting BTR by:☕ Buying the most delicious coffee ever at https://jamnbean.com w/ Code: BTR10

For the last several years, we yelled about the left eating itself. Is the right now feasting on the same poisonous meal? This week Meghan is joined by Free Press reporter River Page, whose February 19 article The Online Right Is Building A Monster, articulated a phenomenon she'd long observed but could never quite parse; the phenomenon of right-wing trolls making antisemitic and misogynist memes as well as other forms of rage bait in order to own the libs. River explains the origins and effects of this rising movement, dispelling Meghan's preconceptions that most of these trolls are bots or teenagers (alas, many are grown men). Speaking of grown men, the conversation wanders into an exploration of why young males are so obsessed with their bodies and physical appearance. Should we blame Instagram and TikTok? Maybe. But River thinks there's a connection between income inequality and male vanity. When you believe you'll never be able to afford a house or a middle-class family life, controlling your own body may be the only control you have.   Guest Bio: River Page is a reporter at The Free Press.

Need a break from political programming? Well, today we have a special treat: It's The Free Press's scary movie Halloween special! It's that time of year: changing leaves, pumpkin spice lattes, animal costumes with sex appeal and, of course, gory, bloody, nightmare-inducing horror movies. We all remember the first horror movie that we were allowed to watch—or maybe that we weren't allowed to watch, but saw anyway: Silence of the Lambs, Rosemary's Baby, The Exorcist, The Blair Witch Project, Jaws, Carrie, Halloween, or The Shining. For today's host Suzy Weiss, it was 20 minutes of the movie It—the TV miniseries from 1990, not the 2017 remake. Suzy remembers seeing Pennywise the Clown on the screen and thinking, This will take me years to get over. She still sometimes checks the drain! Year after year, horror movies are consistently profitable—more so than dramas—but they are snubbed when it comes to award shows and critical acclaim. But here at The Free Press, we value and love horror, so much that we've gathered our scariest FP writers—Suzy Weiss, River Page, and Kat Rosenfield—to analyze four new horror movies. River, Kat, and Suzy will review MaXXXine, set in grimy and glamorous 1980s Hollywood, about a night killer who targets a porn star who herself is targeting big-screen stardom. Apartment 7A, a prequel to Rosemary's Baby, about a woman taken in by an unassuming family. Longlegs, a serial killer story about an FBI agent trying to crack the case. And The Substance, about a woman who takes the latest anti-aging elixir, but at a harrowing cost. They talk about what they loved, what they hated, and how they think each movie relates to our current social ills. We'll also note this episode has spoilers, so let this be a warning!

Most of the media-verse right now is focused on a handful of serious and important questions: Kamala's VP pick, if Democrats have been anti-Democratic, if Kamala can receive Biden's campaign money without a legal battle. And whether or not China will see the opportunity of our lame-duck president to make moves against Taiwan. But today we aren't here to talk about any of that. Today we're here to talk about memes and whether or not Kamala Harris is “brat.” On Sunday, July 21, we found out that President Joe Biden was stepping down from the race because he posted a letter on X. Then, 23 minutes later he endorsed Kamala Harris as the nominee and that was it.  Days went by, and we didn't see him or hear from him. And we're all supposed to accept that as normal. And in his absence something really strange happened. Kamala Harris became a Gen Z icon. Kamala became “brat.” And if you're anything like me, you're not exactly following. So, let us explain: the singer Charli XCX posted Sunday on X that “Kamala IS brat,” a reference to her new album called Brat. Which, for those who don't know, according to Gen Z, is this summer's official vibe and aesthetic. Don't worry, if you still aren't following, neither are the talking heads on CNN or Fox. But whether they understand it or not, Kamala's campaign does. Her staff changed her campaign's X page to the brat chartreuse color (the album's theme color), with the words “Kamala HQ” to match the Brat album cover.  The internet went crazy. Just take the video of a group of men in Fire Island in chartreuse crop tops that say “kamala” in the brat font. The caption on the tweet: “BRAT Kamala shirts already on Fire Island. The gays move SO FAST.” And it wasn't just brat that went viral, we've also seen a repacking of viral clips overnight: the coconut quote, Kamala loving Venn diagrams, and a whole lot of Kamala laughing. As the internet was off to the races, mainstream politicians were forced to make a choice: embrace the Twitter-sphere or ignore it. And most chose the former. Hawaiian senator Brian Schatz endorsed Kamala on X simply by posting a photo of himself climbing a coconut tree, the caption reading: “Madam Vice President, we are ready to help.” Colorado governor Jared Polis simply posted a tweet with a coconut emoji, a palm tree emoji, and an American flag emoji. Senator Mazie K. Hirono posted a photo with Kamala with the brat chartreuse filter on it. Clearly a unique consensus has emerged. As Katherine Boyle wrote for The Free Press this week, “The online and offline are finally merging.”   It's fun, it's trippy, it's campy, it's weird, but the question remains, will any of this translate to actual votes?  To help us better understand are two Free Press writers—River Page and Kat Rosenfield. This week for The Free Press, River explained how the phrase “Twitter isn't real life” has never seemed less true and that “Twitter is now the center of the country's political universe. For better or worse.” And Kat made the case that Kamala is brat, but not in the way we think, and she's not so sure it's a good thing.  The internet moves fast, but River and Kat move faster, and they're here today to help us dissect it all: the meme-ification of politics, brat, and how internet culture is rewiring election norms.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Next up, the first major AI hardware was released to scathing reviews. The Humane AI Pin was torn apart by the biggest reviewers in tech such as Marques Brownlee.

EPISODE #48: Your favorite podcast is back. This week we start off with a story that could only happen on the internet. Investor and Founder of Y Combinator, Paul Graham, tweeted out that he was able to spot the use of ChatGPT in a pitch email over use of the word "delve".

On Mexico, class, and sexuality.    We welcome anthropologist Roger Lancaster onto the pod to talk about his new book, The Struggle to Be Gay – in Mexico, for Example.     We discuss: How much is being gay tied to being modern? And conversely, how much of globalized culture is itself "gay"? Do you need to be middle class to be gay? Why did neoliberalism provide more sexual freedom than corporatism in Mexico?  How was Mexico ahead of the US in introducing ‘progressive neoliberalism'? Is now a time of freedom, or should we think of it differently? In part two, we discuss AMLO's "synthetic" presidency, and the way peasant conservatism in central America has traditionally provided a boost to radicalism – and ask whether this is still the case.   Only available at patreon.com/bungacast.   See also: /180/ Bunga Bunga (but Gay) ft.

EPISODE #46: Back at it again! This week we have a discussion around "disinformation experts".

From Boomers getting fooled by AI images, to the decision to limit political news ahead of the election season. Ron DeSantis signs a bill to ban social media for kids in Florida. Do you agree?

This episode takes the second defeat of Jean-Luc Mélenchon in the first round of the French Presidential election as an opportunity to reflect on the end of the 'left populist' electoral experiments of the past decade with Survation's Carl Shoben, before turning to the US Republican Party's wave of anti-LGBT legislation with River Page - a writer with American Affairs, Twink Revolution, and Compact Magazine. The patrons-only full interview with Carl is TPS71, and the discussion with River continues as TPS73. Please consider supporting us at this exciting time by joining our Patreon community. 

In the patrons-only continuation of TPS72's discussion with River Page, the guys tackle the continuities and discontinuities of trans rights with previous frontiers of civil rights, Florida's Don't Say Gay bill, and the dangers of Disney's 'liberation from above' in opposing it.

River returns for a very long, freewheeling and suitably drunken chat about Carson McCullers' novel The Heart is a Lonely Hunter and the 2013 film version of Tracy Letts' August: Osage County. Southern Gothic and The South in fiction, the life and work of McCullers, ethno-narcissism, loneliness as a constant in the human condition, Harper Lee as a McCullers wannabe, family tales that could be true crime podcasts, gushing about Margo Martindale, the power of the Southern matriarch, eating "the fuckin catfish!",  the need for messy writers,  why The Heart is a Lonely Hunter could only be written by someone who drank themselves to death on the deck of a cruise ship, and much much more. Be prepared for long digressions!Subscribe to River's Substack: https://riverpage.substack.com/River's piece on Carson McCullers for the Washington Examiner: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/empty-suit-messiahs

We're joined this week by River Page, author of "The CIA and the New Dialect of Power" and Chain Smoking to Babylon.Beyond his cutting cultural analysis of the decadent liberal elite, River's intellectual interests include the nexus between language and power. He has brought his insights to bear on the ways in which faux-radical, New Left rhetoric has been weaponized to generate new paradigms of state power and manufactured consent. The conversation covers a lot of ground, from River's idea of "sanctioned vs. unsanctioned" conspiracy theories to the way the new dialect of power has been used to justify US / NATO saber-rattling against Russia.

The girls are BACK after a brief Nick's Birthday sabbatical and we FINALLY address the rumors... YES we are female hackers. YES it is both dangerous and rewarding.

First, we finally review Blue Bannisters and wind up shitting on it way more than we expected to. Then: are we embarrassed to be gay? Do gay guys have any political interests other than making sure everyone wants to fuck them? Lastly, we recap Astroworld and get to the ninth circle of the Satanic panic theories swirling around it.
