Lewis Black's Rantcast #209 | Chaos (possible TW; he heads deep into satire before coming to resolution at about 8'00") (www.youtube.com)

This is what the algorithm served me up today. I know he's not everyone's particular cup of tea, but I've never seen him in anything other than a constrained commercial environment, and he's far more natural here. Just as pissed, but you might be surprised by the depth of both his knowledge and willingness to hire others to do research.

Regardless, I found this to be a cathartic "no, shit's just as crazy as you think." Less need to scream into the void when Lewis Black can unload on you.

it's fine to believe this is the appropriate remedy but this is not the time and place to write that down, have some basic opsec

When would be the time and place?

an encrypted messaging app with a handful of people you categorically trust to never tell on you or in any way implicate you in future criminal behavior, not a federated Reddit clone where you have no control over who sees your message, when, on what terms, and with what associated data. like, don't be stupid—and at the very least, if you must publicly agitate in this way, don't say this on a place where your words could have ramifications for people who aren't large corporations and don't have the money to get roped into legal trouble

Oh yeah, and where do I find these people?

[–] alyaza@beehaw.org 1 points 1 week ago

that's for you to figure out and is, respectfully, not my problem or the problem of anyone else's moderating this instance. you've been told what is expected of you; you can take that or leave it.

Cool to see Lewis Black doing a fun format like this. Also cool to see somebody on the level of Lewis Black also having to deal with a crappy fish-eye webcam.

The rant about schnapps 😂. People have been trashing schnapps since ostriches invented it in Namibia 21 million years ago.
