Get-Me-Through-the-Weekend Links: Live Moynihan/Gillespie This Sunday in NYC!
FIF’ SIREN! Stop watcha doin’, and reserve a ticket RIGHT NOW to this joint at the New York Comedy Club:
Is Capitalism Dead?
After brunch this Sunday, come to the New York Comedy Club for a raucous debate about the future of capitalism, moderated by Vice News correspondent and Fifth Column co-host Michael Moynihan. Jacobin founding editor, Socialist Manifesto author, and former co-chair of the Democratic Socialists for America Bhaskar Sunkara will square off with Nick Gillespie, editor at large of Reason and host of the podcast, The Reason Interview, to determine which economic system will destroy humanity.
Doors Open at 2:30 pm
*PLEASE NOTE: This event will be filmed as part of an upcoming series for VICE WORLD NEWS, premiering in early 2022. Attendees will be required to show proof of vaccination at the door.
* What else is going on? Well, we went on The Megyn Kelly Show, which you can listen to, watch, or watch in bits.
* Speaking of watching in bits, some of y’all made mini-clips of our Twitch experiment, which (obviously!) Busty Wimsatt wove into a 15-minute clip over at the Paloma Media YouTube channel. (Don’t sleep on the still-soft-launching Paloma Media site, either!)
* And speaking of atypically video’d podcasts, the Reason Roundtable did its annual video bonus episode for the mag’s Webathon, which I predict some of you will find amusing. My one ask for any of you who might consider a donation over there: Tell ‘em The Fifth Column sent you! And/or say something terrible about me or any other staffer you love/hate. Always good for my primary employer to view my extracurriculars in a positive light!
Aiight, blessed weekend to you all, and hopefully we’ll see some of you Sunday!
