Anyone else listen to recent ep of Why is This Happening with Chris interviewing Jon Favreau? Very interesting to hear Favreau’s findings going out and speaking to different voters across the country. Do you suggest listening Pod Save America?
No… Michael Brooks show is really good. TMBS podcast 
If you think about it, you can perfectly imagine me deciphering TMBS.
Who is MB?
The Michael Brooks Show 
Silly me
I got the acronym lol. I mean who is he?
He’s a progressive speaker who is a professor of some sort, works alo g side the Justice Democrats etc… Has joint shows with Sam sedar on the majority report and has done exceptionally well promoting Bernie.
And his Chris Matthews impressions are pretty good. 
Edit:- Out of all the podcasts he my favourite for breaking down the BS, with no BS of his own.
A skilled debtor too…
He’s the only one I donate too.

I’d love to watch but UP doesn’t care about me or fixing my problem where audio doesn’t play on this site.
Thought we were all in this together but fuck me, you got yours I guess.

This is the first I’ve heard of this issue. More details?

There was actually just a federal lawsuit filed in CT by a few high school seniors throughout the state about the transgirls and the sports issue. CT allows students to compete against the gender they identify with. The plaintiffs are arguing that it’s unfair to them as it denies them opportunity to showcase their talents for college recruiters. I also read something about Title IX type arguments. I need to read more on it.
Two transgirls set a bunch of track and field state records last year that prompted the suit. On Friday one of the plaintiffs in the suit actually beat one of the transgirls in the 55 meter indoor dash at states.
Trevor Noah nails why stop and frisk was so destructive. I guess this is an unscripted web extra thing where he just speaks from the heart.

Basically no embedded videos have audio for me. Once I go off site it works fine. I tried logging out and logging back in, refreshing etc. It’s been an issue for about a week now.
Cross posting this from the Walrus sign up thread that I assume not everyone is reading.
Here’s a cool quiz to test “musical IQ.” Turns out I am completely average. Not sure how that bodes for Walrus competitions! Takes about 20 minutes to complete, but it’s worth it imo. Pretty fun.

I did some quick googling and the most common reason for no sound on only some websites is having your system settings configured for 5.1 or 7.1 surround when you only have two speakers.
If that doesn’t fix it…, erm, I have no idea. Check the carburetor?

My good and bad scores were the exact opposite of what I expected them to be. I ain’t got no rhythm apparently.
Spend decades listening to blippity bleepy thumpy thump electronic music and crush it on the melody test.

OK, so maybe “crushing” is an overstatement.

I found the melody quiz really tough (obv). I think I would do better a second time. For some dumb reason I was thinking of the first melody as the baseline and then comparing the second two to the first, which is clearly a terrible strategy.
Melody is the most overrated aspect of music imo.
