I can barely sleep without my weighted blanket

It isn’t though, I have seen the original source of this claim and its bs. The author just picks and chooses when empires begin and end so that it fits their claim. I would concede the point if it were ever actually an average.

I hate to be nitpicky about a meme but I love to be nitpicky. This claims is based on bullshit statistics that the author made up or bent to his will. The Ottoman empire alone shows this to be incorrect but Rome too stands out. Besides, what would an arbitrary amount of time have to do with the collapse of complex economic systems. Its bullshit idealism and I hate seeing it.

I am begging the US to collapse though

Bluerays will still exist because of japanese laws. How am I supposed to get my anime without dimming if I don’t pirate bluerays?

I installed arch without it and it was a fucking struggle. Didn’t know it existed til after. Like actually hours after

Man I thought they meant mine as in extract mineral resources and was more upset than I needed to be

Fall of Civilizations - long narrative based historical episodes regarding civilizational collapse. One of my favorites by far

The Deprogram - 3 lads from vastly different countries yapping about socialism, imperialism, and world events with a relatively casual tone. They are silly guys and I like them.

Blowback - long-form narrative retellings of various US imperial crimes. Each season is a different country.

The Magnus Archives - my beloved. A horror/mystery audio drama that deserves an essay to describe it. This is my favorite work of fiction. I don’t even know where to start just try it please

I usually listen to audiobooks while I read, helps me focus. So thank you too :)

Parenti my beloved. Will be adding that to my list thank you

I really gotta read Chomsky and Herman’s book on that subject

Nearly all media is state controlled. Even privately owned media companies because both the media and the state are just tools the owning class uses to maintain power. They share the same interests. There are some coalitions of reporters and journalists that have relative independence but even they must cooperate with the interests of the owning class or risk being shut out of key resources necessary for their reporting and therefore their income. The goal is to read reporting from all sources with the interests of the producers of that source in mind. You can read RT and get reliable information on some subjects just as you can read the kyivindependant and get reliable information on some subjects. Emphasis on some. It is unfortunately up to the reader to filter through bias, a skill that is suspisciously not taught well in our education.

Year of the linux desktop for sure

Saw the video earlier today, the Palestinian responsible crawled on top of the tank and dropped the bomb inside of it. Absurd levels of bravery required to accomplish that.

More great news from my beloved alliance of Sahel states

It would seem this is a lie

The ones who do often conclude yes and then end up in spaces like this one

Slopaganda

Arch btw

??? I was talking about the ai

All of your politicians can get bent though. Fuck em, none of them have your best interests at heart.
