I always like the Mike Baker ones for whatever reason but yeah, I'm about halfway through and nothing super interesting so far.

This one was good, a great follow up to the one last week (or whenever that was). I'm with Joe, total compassion and whatever for anyone who has gender dysphoria and has to deal with that and shit. But leave the kids alone, ffs.

The problem is, at least this time, Mike didn't have anything new to say really. Joe needs to space out his appearances a bit more.

This happened a while back.
Also, Adam posted this on his website in response to the fallout, basically he went back after and googled a bunch of shit to support his incorrect position and then made a blog post.
Adding Evidence to the Discussion of Trans Issues on Joe Rogan's podcast - Adam Conover: Official Site. Tour dates, Podcasts, Blog
This week I had the pleasure of being a guest on the Joe Rogan Experience. On that episode, Joe brought up the question of trans children, and whether it is ethical to provide them with puberty blockers. Joe feels strongly that it is not. In my discussions with trans researchers and friends...

It's easy to see how that could be a pretty empty existence though, especially if you come into money newly. You have problems, but you do a thing. You get infinite dollars from the thing you did. What do you do? If you gave 20 year old me that kind of money, I'd be dead. The fact that he's even here is a miracle.

Of course. He thinks that he's being a good guy and advocating for trans equality. I went through the research back when I was annoyingly berating Vanessa over this, to the extent reasonable for a layman like me, and this dude is completely wrong on almost every point except for his desire to be compassionate towards people. His blog post is fucking nonsense, cherry-picked garbage that he was literally pointed to by a MTF trans athlete-become-activist.

Oh, for sure. It's understandable. I'd be dead as shit if i'd struck it rich young. My dumb ass would have gotten shot doing something retarded. But what i'm thinking is... Maybe stop fucking 8 different whores a day if you feel like your life is a hedonistic fever dream which lacks real meaning. I mean, you know, the little things.
I'm not trying to be an asshole about it or anything. I have an idea, and maybe it's the wrong idea, that the man somehow views struggle as necessary for his artistic expression and in the situation where he faces no externally imposed struggle he is imposing them on himself. But only the ones that are comfortable. And to that.. I just have to make jerk off motions.
There's plenty of struggle in this world. And it's all hard. And I don't blame him a single bit for not seeking it out. But you don't get sympathy points for that. I mean you don't lose them either.

I'm totally on board with getting innocent people out of jail, but I don't trust these to be objective, at all. Still, they're probably doing more good than harm but given their politics they might just be going after politically expedient / correct cases, so who knows. Not impressed.

I haven't listened to it yet, but why the fuck would that be a goal of the Innocence Project?

Is that the problem though? What they're calling "technicalities" there are our rights and civil liberties, as implemented in the law enforcement system. Without seeing specific cases it's hard to say, but if there's some cop falsifying evidence or some prosecutor violating the rights of the accused, fuck them. Why should I be upset about their bullshit being exposed?
