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.
What? I don’t…and Tom Cruise is still in it? I…damn. Everytime I think Hollywood is just completely creatively bankrupt and can’t get any worse I hear news like this.
Sometimes I forget that movies don’t actually have writers anymore, and Hollywood just presses the big “generate movie” button on the script machine, and just adjusts the number of “current cultural touchstones” to mention as needed.
enough star power to provision a universal school lunch program
exotic locales and highly complex stunts with spectacular set pieces
mind-numbingly stupid premise and conflict
to be clear, i saw it for free and knew it was gonna be lame as hell, but i still felt ripped off lol.
we are approaching the 30 year anniversary of the first one (itself a reboot of the 1960s TV show), and what is extraordinarily absurd, the lead role of high intensity action is played by the same fucking guy who is 63 in earth years and qualifies for social security, but will also qualify for medicare in a little over a year. they still play it completely straight, like his shambling, broken posture body (at like 4% body fat, salute) can do all this acrobatic shit. they pull out all the stops to make his face smooth and young, which is as disturbing as it is distracting.
ten years ago, when he was in his early 50s, he could play late 30s. but now that hes in his 60s, he should not play any role under 60.

I think Marvel movies would be a more apt comparison these days, I don’t think they’ve made any mission impossible movies in over a decade.
One in 2023 and one coming out this year
What? I don’t…and Tom Cruise is still in it? I…damn. Everytime I think Hollywood is just completely creatively bankrupt and can’t get any worse I hear news like this.
Yeah, I agree
It came out already and it’s about the threat of an AGI taking over the world, and supposedly it’s Tom Cruise’s last Mission Impossible movie

Last week I saw someone driving with their phone mounted to the dashboard watching Joe Rogan
incredible. truly a mind of wondrous talents.
glimpse little a booba, as a treat
The ones I usually recommend blind to people are The Dollop and Boonta Vista. The hosts are all leftists but the shows are just comedy
