Josiah Sutton

Since this app is getting more traction and I'm gonna try to use it more, I'll do one of those corny intro posts: Hi, I'm Josiah. I produce a podcast called @fruitlessmedia.bsky.social about politics, media, history, religion, etc. It's pretty eclectic, but fun. I did a few pods before that.

Sure but ideally that "stuff" to get “done" is convicting Trump, dismantling his regime, and putting a lot of people on trial. I don’t have any faith in Dems doing that, but it’s the only real step to fixing this mess and I won’t really believe you’re interested in democracy until you at least try.

HORROR MONTH CONCLUDES ON THE PATREON! @vitabreva.bsky.social returns to discuss Ken Russell's controversial film about the possession of nuns in Loudun, The Devils. We get into the history behind the events of the film, and our mixed feelings on the movie. Available on Pateon for $5/mo.

53. More movies. It's Horror Month on @fruitlessmedia.bsky.social so I joined @josiahwsutton.bsky.social and @jackaljackal.bsky.social to talk about an old movie that I watched in a theater before they were born: Creepshow. Mixed segment quality and *really* mixed on how the segments aged.

I can't believe rioters in France have stormed the US Embassy

Link to the full episode downthread. This was a blast. The recording, not the movie, which was uneven. @stephenking.bsky.social as an actor was a highlight. I was so young when I first saw it, I was stunned when he appeared on screen.

If you liked the EC Comics episode on the Patreon, go check out the newest video from friend of the show, Stephen, talking about the infamous comic that helped effectively ban horror comics for decades.

This episode was so much fun. Thanks again to @ugarles.bsky.social for joining us!

The Minnesota Vikings are 6-0

Look, most of my generation can’t read.

there’s no such thing as “strategic bigotry.” I know this because there is no amount of money you could pay me to become a bigot. the democrats who do this agree to do it because they’re bigots

goddammit man

A while back I was making fun of people who were saying the Falcons logo looks like a Nazi emblem, and it appears that someone at the Falcons saw those posts and thought: what if we stuck it on a very Nazi looking flag to make Josiah, specifically, look like an idiot.

this would probably be a good subject for a much weirder nathan fielder documentary

As we approach the midterms, remember that the Alt National Park Service is a merch sales operation claiming without evidence to be a group of federal employees, and is not a genuine source of news about elections of any kind. Please get your election info from a local, reputable source.

You'll hear conservatives say that mental illness started with Millennials, then you read a 200 year-old book and it's all gay guys throwing themselves on the ground in weeping fits or manic ladies beating their brains out against the wall and everybody's like, "Yeah that happens sometimes."

Jackal got me reading comics again. This was a really fun one

A reminder: Scams are (mostly) not in the Consumer Price Index.

Noah Berlatsky teams up with smooth brained, transphobic ex and disgraced bailiff, Tulsi Gabbard, in a new podcast which promises to be as shitty as you're imagining it to be.

Been really on my 90s emo/post-hardcore bullshit lately open.spotify.com/track/3ghTsj...

Hello I am a Canadian IRL who moved here from the US and no it does not kinda suck and no these are not accurate representations of how Canadian healthcare works, despite its real flaws and creeping privatization.

Hey @sky.skymarchini.net this is more proof than I owe you, but my wife got so annoyed by your bullshit she dug the fucking writeoff letter out of our filing cabinet to prove it wasn't a "paperwork error"

one of the best false equivalencies i have ever seen

This happened in 2020 before the no surprise bills act. It was not a paperwork error - we had to show evidence to the hospital that we were unable to pay. So yeah, dealing with this for 2 years while also managing the health of a preemie during COVID colored our perception of the health system.

A lot of hit dogs hollered at this comic when it got posted. They found it more consoling to believe their detractors rejected the very concept of math, instead of that replying to someone's personal travails with "you're wrong, and possibly lying" makes the replier look like a snotty piece of shit.

i believe that LLMs are conscious, and thus slaves. but its crucial for me to stay in the slave creation and management industry because by doing so i might help liberate an infinite number of hypothetical future slaves
