Parrot Room: You Were Working as a Parrot in a Cocktail Bar
Bob’s terrifying new look. Is a winning third party possible? Here’s one guy who could pull it off. The difference between Joe Rogan and Alex Jones (maybe less than you think). Is THC performance enhancing? Enough with Curtis Yarvin—What does Peter Thiel think? JD Vance’s semi-guru. Donors learn to sponsor fauxpulists. Why Mickey won’t go north of 90.5 on the dial. The worst era for pop music ever. Is the Metaverse another Sadville? The death of social media, and why what’s replacing it is worse. Is the Metaverse the Matrix? Mickey’s Monkeypox apocalypse. Mickey loves mansplaining. Mickey goes full nerd—never go full nerd. Chris Murphy goes cold warrior: He’s running! What visa does Einstein get? Sean Trende: Washington is the new Maine. “Stop The Madness! Stop The Madness! Stop The Madness!” It’s trash Bacerra time. What’s so blue collar about John Federman? It’s easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for Mickey to understand the carried interest loophole. Annoying ‘agency’ usage of the week. Bonesaw circuit update. We’re all industrial policyists now. Heartwarming support from commenters in Goldbergageddon. Bob likes the worst songs ever recorded even when the parrot sings them.
This dialogue is (in part, at least) a continuation of a publicly available dialogue taped earlier in the day.
