  • ALAB - lawyers dunking on the justice system and highlighting how fucked up it is. Very inconsistent schedule, but worth listening to the backlog. Their most recent episode was wild, they had on someone that they talked about in a previous episode who sued them because of it and they talk through the case and their strategies, never heard anything like it.

    Just King Things - reading every Stephen King book in publication order and doing deep crit and analysis. Really reveals what shit politics King has, but always a fun listen, especially if you've read a lot of King.

    A More Civilized Age - rewatch of Clone Wars, good analysis, the Jedi are bad, actually. Featuring Austin "Fuck Capitalism, Go Home" Walker among other great hosts.

    Waypoint Radio - lefty gaming podcast, it's still great even without Austin.

    Maybe, but Mint was sold to me as the easiest and best distro and these types of issues are still the reason many people don't vibe with Linux.

    I gave Linux a real shot a while back and tried Linux Mint, was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to get up and running on my laptop.

    Then I immediately had wifi driver issues, spent 3 hours trying to fix them by downloading random files linked on Linux boards and running terminal commands that I had no clue what they were doing, and eventually gave up and went back to Windows.

    That's a pretty standard Linux experience to me, and largely why non-techy people will never be on board with it.

    It's incredible that after years of Trump constantly "breaking the rules" without consequence with libs watching on screaming "he can't do that!!!!", they still don't believe the Dems can do the same thing when they're in power, or are actively against that because of civility brainworms.

    Idealist :brainworms: are so incredibly powerful, it's almost scary. Libs have an amazing capacity to ignore material reality in favor of the imagined.





  • I know that I should laugh because it's so ridiculous, but the idea that Marxists "have no REAL KNOWLEDGE of history" really pisses me off. It makes me so incredibly angry that shitlibs wag their fingers with an unearned sense of superiority because they can regurgitate lessons from their high school history class and haven't picked up a non-harry potter book since, while people that do countless hours of research, reading, thinking, and (hopefully) actually taking action in their communities are dismissed as the dumb ones, the clueless ones....it's really maddening, luckily Marxism is completely correct, otherwise it'd be so easy to doubt myself.

    Lmaooo this would make my 45 year old lib marvel/Disney Consumer friend so mad, but he's a child so he probably would stop talking to me if I sent it to him.




  • Me fucking too. I have a lib friend that's a debatelord type and I literally sent him a PDF of Blackshirts & Reds after he freaked out when I said Stalin wasn't literally Satan and the same as Hitler, and even then he wouldn't fucking read it. Instead he searched for Parenti on :reddit-logo: and used that as a way of discrediting him.

    It was this experience that made me realize he just doesn't take politics or understanding history and the world seriously at all, and it's not worth taking his opinions seriously. Trusts reddit's :le-pol-face: s with more credibility than his friend of 10+ years and won't even put in the effort to read 250 pages. That's how powerful :LIB: :brainworms:are.

    The real reason it's popular is because it's a shared experience, everyone is doing the same puzzle - like the NYT Crossword.

    That combined with the emoji sharing helped it become viral, you aren't just doing a word game - you're doing today's specific Wordle puzzle and sharing your results (without spoilers because of the emojis) with your friends/family.
