I don't care to repost the tweets themselves, but the president is definitely not mad this morning as he's making GBS threads on twitter for putting a "see the truth" button below his lies about mail in voter fraud and on joe scarborough again. AG Barr dropped the insider trading investigation into all the senators except Burr.

Love that with all the money we've spent on forecasting and satellites over the decades, tropical cyclones have opted to go stealth mode and just not even form until they're 3 hours from landfall

The past couple decades have seen incredible advances in mathematics and computing plus billions spent on satellites and supercomputers resulting in long-range forecasts of such accurate that meteorologist of the WWII era would accuse you of witchcraft. Meanwhile that entire infrastructure is crumbling from lack of investment and the EU is overtaking the US because they have newer satellites and supercomputers.

My impression of Evans after a lot of bastards episodes is that he's a good journalist and very specialized in fascism and fascist history, but he loses the plot a bit when they leave that area of expertise.

It’s had its moments and they’ve had some interesting content but it’s pretty clear to me that Evans is the only one of the hosts who really has the journalistic and analytical chops to carry the podcast; when he’s out of his element then sometimes I do feel like he slides into nihilism. Behind the Bastards is much better; It Could Happen Here was REALLY good. I haven’t listened to his new one about Rojava but I’ve heard it’s good. Also he’s a goon, mostly posts in TFR.

Oh wild, which goon? Just curious because I read the fascism/racism thread in TFR regularly and was curious. I'd had Behind the Bastards recommended to me quite a bit, haven't checked it out yet but plan to.

https://soundcloud.com/user-223421902/intro-welcome-to-black-america Hi I produced this song in 2016 and I feel like it’s relevant. It samples Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd and that’s very intentional for the topic. It might sound like poo poo since I was so new to making music. Deal with it.

It's called The Women's War and I've been listening to it. It's pretty good, and I also got pretty tired of Worst Year Ever. I liked a lot of It Could Happen Here but his hypothetical scenario of lefties arming up and starting widespread partisan unrest in the US is silly to me. The Christian dominionist militias doing the same under threat of gun control of any kind was way scarier and seems to grow more plausible all the time

If anyone is looking for a new podcast, Gangster Capitalism is really loving good. Last season was about the Aunt Becky college pay to play scandal, and this season is all about the NRA and the massive amounts of embezzlement and fraud going on

In my view they did push back, though not as hard as they could have. Cuban had some decent ideas to put bandaids on things, but IMO they didn't go far enough. While his opinions, if put in place, would help a lot of people get better pay, they don't solve inequality problems - they just make them more tolerable by making not rich people's lives better. I feel like they kind of had to tread somewhat lightly if they wanted him to come back as a guest.

https://pastebin.com/5Da5ufc8 - this one details the poo poo leading up to lockdown https://pastebin.com/NZBRU6x8 - this one details the poo poo that happened since the start of lockdown I'm posting these here because they're awesome and terrifying. They're a narrative of the story so far in nz based on publicly available materials that were released after the lockdown began to ease Basically we were lucky beyond belief and even with a quick acting decisive government we only got ahead of this thing by the skin of our loving teeth
