Scoop by me: The demise of Rod Dreher's TAC blog began with him recounting the first time he saw an uncircumcised penis. Upon reading the "primitive root wiener" post, the donor funding Rod's entire salary decided the blog had simply gotten "too weird"https://t.co/BWYf779KZv— caleb ecarma (@calebecarma) March 10, 2023
The one millionaire who had been financing Rod's entire life has pulled the backing because Rod was being too weird.
But one particular reader, upon reading the last of said posts, determined the blog had simply gotten too weird, according to two sources familiar with the publication. That disgruntled reader was Howard Ahmanson Jr., the heir to a California banking fortune and the sole benefactor of Dreher’s six-figure salary at TAC, which is published by American Ideas Institute, a nonprofit.
I love when I have a real job where I'm basically a court jester and my income is from the son of a capitalist who founded a predatory loan institution. My other income of course comes from Victor Orban.
Remarking that he wrote “important things” and “stupid things” during his time at TAC, Dreher closed with a nod to a post he said fit the latter category: “All you removed were the Primitive Root Wiener in my Lucky Dog, and I love you very much.”
why in the fuck do I gotta go to work and Rod Dreher gets to go to fancy oyster parties. what in the fuck, how is this man real :jesse-wtf:

More importantly, if there were a band named "Primitive Root Wiener," what kind of music would they play?
I'm inclined to say doom metal, but my gut tells me it's Weezer covers.
Primitive Roots Weiners could be a white reggae band.
Doom metal Weezer covers. Say it ain't slow.
Post-Doom Weezercore
Sounds like one of Jeff Mangum's side projects before he started Neutral Milk Hotel.
it's two guys from west Arkansas delivering 27 minute nu-folk art noise odysseys, taking the Ojai used bookstore scene by storm.
You nailed it, I just needed this to be repeated.
