    Really letting that mask slip hearing milquetoast criticism of neo-nazis and going "buh buh buh you're bullying smol bean Ukraine???" It's almost impossible for these people not to out themselves.

    He's on like 3 different chapoverse pods (and I think has been on the show proper). I even got him to answer my Listener Question once (hint: it's the one about cum)

    I could see how you can condemn the Canadian intervention, instigation and propagation of right-wing extremism for the sake of a weakened and divided Eastern European community while still supporting the right for a country to defend themselves from invasion.

      In 2022, Boeckner joined Arcade Fire in a session capacity, touring and performing with the band in support of their sixth studio album, WE. Making his live debut at the Toulouse Theatre in New Orleans, Boeckner subsequently appeared in the video to the band's first single, "The Lightning I, II".

      was news to me too

    This is the most blatant case of anti-Baltism I’ve seen since the mediocre reviews for the 1995 animated dog diphtheria serum movie.
