A few months ago I was listening to a podcast, I remembered it as Citations Needed but it could have been another adjacent one, where they interviewed someone from Electronic Intifada about NYT's journalistic malfeasance around the article "Screams Without Words". I've been looking for it and can't find it.

The part that stuck out to me the most was the mother of a daughter who was used as a puppet for these lies saying "she was only killed" and talking about what a miserable situation it is to be saying such a thing.

I have a car I need to sell in roughly a month, but it's been so long since I've sold a car so no idea what the process is like. I have a good idea of the value, and the car runs pretty good over all. It definitely has some cosmetic wear and the AC is out, but no check engine lights or anything big. Also has a rebuilt title since I bought it at a discount like that, but I've been driving it for years and no major issues. Where do I sell it these days? Are there any scams to watch out for? How do sites like Carmax work and are they worth it? I'd love to hear any and all advice.

The late great Jordan Peterson (most important intellectual of our times), author of "12 rules for life, an antidote to chaos", recently made the astute observation that Karl Marx could've been possessed by a demon. Is this true?

You've never touched a book outside of fucking kindergarten, yet you think you know more of communism than me, a fucking communist? Do you think im a baffoon?

I am as white as the day is long. I have never set foot outside of the south. I'm just starting Settlers rn and it is very insightful. It does, however, have me afraid of my own ignorance. I'm the only person from my neck of the woods that I would even call somewhat "progressive", but still. I am aware I was raised in privilege and surrounded by hate. (I even attended a segregated school for many years as a child...) I've always been pretty proud of how far I've come, but I feel like I still probably have some things ingrained in me that need to be smashed up. Recommendations welcome for all kinds of topics. I like to read and learn from whatever is put in front of me.

I could have sworn I remember seeing a book about Marxism and the occult mentioned here sometime. But when I look that up all I see is chud shit about le communism and Satan!!!@!

So, am I crazy or does a cool book about that topic exist somewhere?

They must have been the most commercially successful bits of toxic positivity merch I've ever known. Back when they were a thing, your chances of getting in a road-rage based auto accident spiked each time one of these was on the back of a vehicle in motion:

They seemingly vanished off the face of the Earth, and good riddance.

Impeachment proceedings against the French president passed their first round of parliamentary scrutiny Tuesday when the assembly's 22-person committee judged the procedure admissable, voting 12 to 10 in favour...

Macron can count on his centrist Ensemble (Together) coalition and the mainstream right Republicans to vote against...

The Socialists have also announced they will not vote to impeach Macron.

What gives?

Like? Is anyone who starts a war a “war criminal” now?

If it’s because Russia’s killed civilians (whether intentionally or just because they didn’t care enough in pursuit of their military objectives), then, like, isn’t basically every Western leader + Biden a “war criminal”? How would you ever create a standard that could include him but not others?

And if they are all “war criminals” then why would you support one over the other? I don’t get this conversation.

And even if you had to, like, in what world would it make sense to think that Putin is worse than Netanyahu or the Western leaders who arm and support him?

Stuff has been getting REAAAAALY expensive lately in my europoor nation, like I could get a buncha snacks with 5€, but then we had to sanction Russia and fuck everything up and so now I can't get shit with that. So basically, how do I shoplift? There are like a bazillion cameras covering every aisle in my local shop and I'm confused as to how not to get caught stuffing my bag full of stuff?
