Name: 708 - Sydney 9000 (2/20/23) by Chapo Trap House
Duration: 58 min 27 s
Description: We give a slightly premature send-of to President Carter. Then, Nikki Haley enters the GOP primaries, WaPo ranks democratic primary possibilities, and MTG reveals she’s maybe the only congresswoman losing money on the job. Finally, we take a look at two journalists who are terrified at the possibility of being seduced & destroyed by Microsoft’s terrifying Bing AI.

Operation Cyclone but instead of arming the mujahideen with Stinger missiles they're arming Afghan women with Black Girl Magic

Did the Envelope Affair prove that Jimmy Carter isn't a part of the cabal?

This opening was chuckleworthy but I'm a little concerned how convincing this AI-generated voice clip sounds.

I mean Nikki Haley will defimitely be president. It just makes sense.

I think references to "magic" are a capital offense under Taliban rule

Buttitieg is a feckless leader as transportation secretary

A grab-bag of topics today: A novel idea for fixing policing from the Slow Boring blog; Eric Adams has a rat problem; Priest goes to hell; TikTok ban on the horizon; Prince Andrew in the tub; Andrew Tate’s jail posts.

702 - Don’t Worry Be Happy (1/30/23)

We discuss the increasingly bizarre obsession around “objects” being shot down in the sky, as well as the insane circumstance around the toxic event in Ohio (and we will have more on that later this week). Then, our annual review of the Super Bowl broadcast & advertising spectacle. Finally, we answer your Valentine’s day call-in questions!

And, a note from Felix:

Long March? But it just started! We head down Peking’s way to look at why the US keeps shooting all the Balloons, our situationship with Taiwan, and why every US politician can’t stop talking about China.

We’ve got the Silicon Valley Bank collapse, saber rattling over a war against Mexican cartels, plus we meet a delightful new character out of the great state of Tennessee, wish a bittersweet farewell to an old friend, and FINALLY take those damn smoke detectors down a peg or two.

Sometimes it feels like the online world is split into multiple, incompatible perceptions of reality. 

This is not a new development. In fact, in the mid-aughts one man tried to create an isolated island of American christian conservative thinking by launching a website called Conservapedia. Though it was advertised as being free from the supposed liberal bias of Wikipedia, Conservapedia became a home of pseudoscience, conspiracy theories, and general right-wing grievances. It even launched a project to create a new English translation of the Bible that was manlier and more conservative than previous translations.

To help us understand the history of Conservapedia, we recruited our resident reddit atheist debunker, Travis. He’s going to walk us through the story of Conservpedia’s creation and show off some of the latest additions to the online encyclopedia, which is still active after 17 years.
