    Living proof of pretty privilege that she was handed a once-in-a-lifetime career two times and failed both times.

    2 and a half hours of Dasha Nekrasova Anna Khachiyan and Nick Fuentes is probably what you’re forced to listen to in the ninth circle of hell

      Idk for some reason I can’t stop laughing at that line, it sounds like a joke: Two and a half hours of red scare and nick Fuentes titled “Fuentanyl.” And there are people who actually listen to it.

    I’m glad there’s at least enough hostility to Fuentes that it can damage your career to humor him, even if it doesn’t reach the level that it should (banishment from public life and re-education).

      Even the RSP sub doesn’t like them anymore. The hosts use ideology as an accessory, yet somehow managed to spectacularly misread the zeitgeist. I suppose that’s what happens when your fundamental principle is contrainianism.

      The TA, CT, and RS hosts were super close at one point. I think they are still somewhat close, but nobody knows for sure.

      Earlier this year, Adam Friedland told GQ Magazine that he and Brace Belden became friends through both dating Dasha.

        The mini interview with Brace about Friedland in the GQ piece is one of his best bits

        Friedland’s friend Brace Belden, a host of the leftist podcast TrueAnon, whose previous claims to fame include a voluntary tour of duty with a Kurdish militia during the Syrian civil war, tells me over the phone that Friedland does indeed have political convictions. While some might call him “the rudest person on Earth,” Belden says warmly, he’s actually “a great role model for people who have grown up in a pretty tough society, with either genetic or intellectual disabilities, that see somebody who resembles them on TV.” Belden doesn’t think Friedland would travel overseas to join a revolutionary socialist militia the way he did, but that that’s mostly because Friedland is smarter. “Despite his demeanor and general attitude, he does believe in things.”

        Belden met Friedland five or six years ago; he says they both dated Nekrasova at points. They now hang out a couple of times a week, sometimes at the Russian & Turkish Baths on Men’s Only night, which is known to be tactile and welcoming. Belden says he (and sometimes 20 other friends) receive constant unsolicited calls from Friedland, who loves talking on the phone. “It’s sort of one long, slow, humiliating experience as opposed to a sudden acute one,” Belden says of their friendship. “Every time we’ve hung out it’s basically been the equivalent of a guy shitting his pants a little bit. It’s getting full. He’s gotta wear those giant officer pants they wore in the 1910s now.” The last time they hung out, Belden went over to Friedland’s home in Brooklyn’s Fort Greene neighborhood, where Friedland bragged about his Bob Dylan bootleg collection.

        Belden speaks about the show like it provides a borderline therapeutic or rehabilitative service for celebrities gone “spiritually or career-wise” awry. “It could be,” he suggests, “that Adam is so empty that your soul has to not only fill the vessel that contains it but part of his as well.”

          lmao, it’s amazing how Brace is never NOT doing a bit and he just keeps getting interviews anyway.

          Not sure if the photo was legit or not, but a couple years ago a photo surfaced of Dasha and Brace at the same house party in the early/mid 2010’s in California.

          If that’s the case, that fling was before any of these podcasts formed, and even Brace going to fight in the Syrian Civil War.

    lol, what an idiot. she had some 4-5 episode supporting role in Succession on HBO and i saw her again in that A24 Romcom The Materialists in another small supporting role. like obviously her agency was getting her work in spite of the odds in the industry.

    is this her attempt to have a “more like 5am” moment?
