Does citations needed still hold up Glen Greenwald as a visionary? They had a real bad habit of holding him up as an example in the dozen or so episodes i listened to?

I once pointed out they got a fact wrong and they blocked me, so probably.

Lol that's like the host of The Dollop Dave Anthony who got mad and blocked people after he got caught plagiarizing drat Interesting for material without asking permission or giving them credit, he was fast to block folk calling him out for it. Some of their episodes were hilarious but I stopped listening around then as it was a red flag that this guy probably wasn't a trustworthy source of info, especially as he was trying to claim the moral high ground in a lot of episodes calling out historical villains. https://www.damninteresting.com/a-special-note-to-the-writers-at-the-dollop/

Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

70mm podcast film reviews is just about my favorite three people to listen to, ever. Every time I listen to one of their film reviews, it’s not only hilarious and enjoyable as gently caress, but it makes me want to watch the same movie and experience what they covered. Even Dirty Dancing!

I had never stopped listening to a podcast mid episode based on just how much of a downer the topic was before, but then Nanking Ep 2 happened.

The Marcos are returning to power in the Phillipines after basically whitewashing the Ferdinand era, painting military rule as a good thing and claiming they didn't steal anything, mostly with online tools.

Yeah it’s similar to when I enjoyed s1 of True Detective & the writer was basking in praise for his ideas & dialogue including an Emmy nomination for writing. Then it was discovered how much of the iconic dialogue was lifted without permission from Thomas Ligotti & HBO geared up their PR dept to deny it, instead of giving him proper credit & at least a six figure check.

Holy lol, I wrote a couple of articles for drat Interesting like 6-8 years ago. Don't see anything I wrote mentioned there though, I guess I'm not good enough to plagiarize :smith:

all commercialized podcasts are bad cause it's just the same hacks who'd have written for print media in days past, 'cept you have to hear their voice aloud and the ads are worse. far harder to ignore that than a byline

the only good podcast is nerds taking 1.5h to discuss individual 20m sailor moon episodes that include 5m of transformation cutscene sequences because gently caress it, it's sailor moon

i mean, seans russia blog is also good, but on balance far more depressing despite the odd episode on 15th century russian noble marriage customs

Louisiana's governor is a Democrat (but also pro-life), so they're likely trying to make it as provocative as possible to force him to veto it.

There's another Louisiana abortion law that will treat abortions as homicide, which I suspect is so that they can charge people who get out of state abortions with felonies.

That's the same law that Mr. Nice posted. It concerns the definition of 'person' as it applies to homicide.

FWIW, states can't have jurisdiction, particularly criminal jurisdiction outside their boundaries. Then again, who knows what the answer is in our new "law as calvinball" world.

Well it’s not new, Citizens United was the first real big recent step over the line since black civil rights rulings became somewhat saner, and asset forfeiture laws also are totally moon logic.

That ruling was in my understanding is borderline sovereign citizen nonsense that actually worked. Since corporations are legal entities and legal entities are fictional persons and persons have free speech limiting campaign finance of a corporation is a violation of the corporations free speech.

Asset forfeiture laws are on the legal basis that if they charge your property with a crime property has no rights and somehow then confiscating it without due process is somehow not a violation of your rights.

It really wouldn’t be hard for Texas to argue to the Alito/Kavanaugh/Barrett court that it has a sufficient interest (whatever the specific term is for an interest when states can override rights) in forcing its residents to birth more white baby stock and therefore all residents of the state’s wombs are like flagged vessels of that state.

In a way sovcits understand the true purpose of the law as esoteric nonsense you bend into the weapon you want but fail to understand that they’re the not the people the law is for. That’s probably why white sovcit groups are so violent compared to black sovcits, they as mostly white rural landowners have the expectation that they are the real American aristocratic class drilled into them and are more shocked and vengeful when it doesn’t work.
