There's another new one that is really good called if books could kill. It isnt cracked ppl tho. Actually I remember that site before it got REALLY bad (I mean not sucked) and I remember a lot of commenters before they disabled comments complaining that the articles are too liberal lmao. Lots of "I come here for jokes not politics!!!"
I actually wrote a really long reply to the rest of your post on why it isn't really possible for the left to have the same impact as the alt right media.
But then I accidentally lost it. I'm taking it as a sign that I would have bored everyone into a coma and not to try to recreate it lol
I feel like I’ve heard of that one and I’ll happily check it out so thanks for the rec. I love the cracked alum but I definitely want to diversify.
And I definitely remember the comments on old cracked articles being like that. But I do still hold a lot of the writers from that time in high regard.
Swaims video game podcast is good btw, I’d love Soren to start a show too
Hey! Just popping in to tell you that Soren and Daniel have a podcast together called Quick Question, and it's really quite great.
Well that is certainly welcome news! Thank you!
Please do! And I think it's one of those podcasts where you can jump in anywhere that interests you, they don't do any friendly rambling chat before either the whole runtime is dedicated just to discussing that book.
I've loved those cracked authors for so long, used to read daily for years and a big credit why I feel like I know so much random shit. I wish the site itself wasn't now annoyingly unusable I'd like to browse and read some of the OG articles.
