He's still a Warren Democrat, but he does cover many foreign policy things from a decent angle. I remember him talking about the Ratlines awhile ago for example. Seeing him go to bat so hard for Imran Khan is pretty refreshing, when the Intercept's previous editor was attempting to take it in a "progressive Democrat" direction.

Signal is not secure, nor is Tor. Read "Surveillance Valley". That being said, you probably won't be visited by the cops over a buying a gram of something online.

Niger breaks the military agreement with the United States, which allows American troops to remain on its territory. Decolonization is happening. 🎉 by notthenameiwant in c/[email protected]

I want to be hopeful about this, but Iraq tried doing something similar, and the US is still there.

What movies are pure liberalism? by notthenameiwant in c/[email protected]

Thanks, it's pretty odd to see Newsweek put out articles like this, considering their reputation. I'm about to finish my current book, so I may check out Bush Family of Secrets next.

All the President's Men is a celebration of liberal institutions. Especially now that we know "Deep Throat" was literally just the assistant director of the FBI who got snubbed for a job. Three Days of the Condor is a much better Redford conspiracy movie.

Journey is only 2 hours long, but is probably the most relaxing game you'll ever play.

Election betting might be slightly less sleazy if you want to try that?

There's "I bonds" if you live in the states, but they don't pay much.

I'm also on Cloudresearch, but these sites are only getting me like $5 per day before I burn out. Are there better alternatives with maybe a little more effort or better pay?

The pay per hour is shit, but you never have to leave your computer and you get a dopamine hit when you complete a task. Beats taking surveys monetarily. You get more per hour when you've completed more tasks. I would only recommend this if you're absolutely struggling.

You get it all in this game, white phosphorous, lynchings, gunning down protestors, etc. The only positive of this game is that you get to gun down American troops in a video game with no pretense of doing this in real life(In Minecraft).

The worst part about this game is that war crimes are framed as inevitable. I literally can't progress in the game without gunning down civilians or shooting white phosphorous at the troops™

Like, this game would be good if there was once an anti-war message sprinkled in there. The fact that this producer can spread war crime porn is disgusting.

This game was marketed as the tough choices horror show of games, and boy did it fuck that up.

As an addendum: the campaign is kind of fun to play
