sometimes i forget joe rogan listeners are real. the other day i was sitting with some coworkers while they discussed what they listen to. i didn't say anything because all my shit is niche dork/left shit or some b.s. i have a parasocial relationship to... and i like listening to opinions more than speaking them these days, seeing as how familiar i am with my own already.

anyway, one coworker was really down on podcasts and preferred music, but would listen to NPR if they wanted to learn something (lol). then they offered that their brother only listens to podcasts and literally only listens to joe rogan and i started laughing before i could stop myself. because rogan listening is too on-the-nose, it feels like the setup for a bit. like somebody saying their favorite beer is bud lite or their favorite books are harry potter or their favorite movies are the mission impossible series. it's like saying "my favorite thing is actually the only thing i'm familiar with at all."

anyway.

i didn't get into communism to turn on women and glimpse their booba.

i got into communism because i was curious and figured knowing more was better than knowing less.
