And ResistanceHole, which is the same for tepid and sensationalist liberalism. 

You saw their lists? You read “Fuck It, Let’s Rate Religions” and thought it was a sincere article?

I’m not, I just think it’s silly that we have a culture that expects consumers to pay some people and not others for doing equally taxing work is weird and I think there is a class component that, to an extent, determines who works what sort of service job and it correlates pretty strongly with who the media cares…

This is every one of these columns 

Because there are servers out there, especially in big cities but a few exist almost everywhere, who are making 5-10x as much as other customer service professionals on tips. Who wants to be paid like an Arbys fry jockey when you can make $45k a year as a server?

Honestly, Serial was also a voyueristic sideshow into the lives of private people who then became “suspects” in a totally non-professional investigation. The entire concept is ridiculous and, tbh, I am glad that Serial is basically dead in the water.
