Subscriptions

My current subscriptions to various things in no particular order. These are things I pay for which says something? Also, some of these may seem controversial, don't assume they reflect my beliefs or values, I tend to enjoy stuff that's challenging.

New York Times

I try to read the main articles closely, top to bottom. The most interesting aspect of the Time is the message they are attempting to convey, that in itself is the story. They control much of the zeitgeist.

The New Criterion

It's a bit too fancy and political but there's an occasional article that makes me think. They're becoming more rare, probably my final year subscribing.

Sam Hyde

Sam is a unique post-modern comedy figure. I don't really know how to categorize him, he's got Andy Kaufman aura. His website is all over the place, he's both a talented content creator and designer / artist. Also super controversial to millennial types.

Red Scare

I wish there were more podcasts like this. Just two close friends shooting the shit.

Caribbean Rhythms (BAP)

Odd character with fringe guests, wouldn't be surprised if there was some sort of foreign intelligence connection. That in itself makes him interesting to follow. The accent was difficult at first and probably intentionally turns people away but it gets easier over time.

Darryl Cooper

Epic deep dives. Very similar to Dan Carlin's Hardcore History. Big fan of revisionist history, even if it's a bit taboo, I think it's important and thought provoking. He provokes a lot of late night ChatGPT discussions.

YouTube Premium

Mostly for no ads and background audio, worth it.

Waking Up

For the occasional Alan Watts recordings, I'm sure there's a free way to get these...

Watch Duty

Essential, but stressful.
