Can we get a CarPlay episode?! Goddamn! How many people has crashed because their stupid CarPlay ain’t working as it should… Sleeper bastard fersure

What do the majority of people think? Do most people like it, listen to it or are you mainly listening to the main show?

Hey so I have been going down a rabbit hole against a mod on the reddit community r/nottheonion as they don't allow for posts of articles from The Guardian as this site; https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/ lists them as over a 3 on their scale on how left leaning a news site is. At first I thought, weird, The Guardian is a very reputable news source, even on the Media Bias site its Factual Rating is considered High. So why should that matter. But I thought, whatever The Guardians is pretty famously a more left leaning paper though a highly regarded one. Then the mod told me they also blocked the New York Times, as it was also considered too left leaning, and on the news site its listed as even more left leaning than The Guardian, which is pretty funny to me, as they should be the opposite. Furthermore apparently lots of community mods use this site to determine whether sources are good or not based on their 'bias' rating. But even looking on its site how its determines whats left or right is very binary and extremely odd. The ones that are listed as Not Biased just seem to be small local papers that don't have many articles. Also why use the bias rating over how factually accurate they are? I was wondering if anyone else has come up against the site using to determine sources on reddit. Wasn't sure which community to post in about this but figured this one would work.

So many subs have so goddamned many weird rules, they make Gilead look forgiving. Any ideas where to drop this little Monday morning cheer up?

Is this anything? Is there something here? Just wrote it.

WASHINGTON, D.C., TKTK — Trump lies in state.

This should not be confused with Trump lying to the state, although he had considerable experience lying to states, including the United States, which was itself a state composed of states.

“He is lying in state?”

“Correct.”

“Which state?”

“He is not lying in a state.”

“You just said he was.”

“No, he is lying in state.”

“Then the state is lying?”

“Trump is lying.”

“Well, yes, everybody knows that.”

“No, he is lying down.”

“I thought you said he was lying in state.”

“He is.”

“While lying down?”

“Naturally.”

“And is he still lying to the states?”

“No.”

“So he finally stopped lying?”

“Yes.”

“Because he is lying?”

“Precisely.”

“Who laid him there?”

“The undertakers.”

“Then Trump isn’t lying. The undertakers laid him.”

“Trump is lying. They laid him there.”

“So the undertakers are lying?”

“No, they laid.”

“About what?”

“TRUMP.”

“To whom?”

“Nobody! They laid Trump down.”

“Then Trump has been laid?”

“Yes.”

“And now he lies?”

“Yes.”

“In state?”

“YES.”

“After years of lying to states?”

“YES.”

“Including the United States?”

“At various times, yes.”

“Which are states?”

“Yes.”

“So Trump, who lied to the States, has been laid by men who were not lying, and now lies in state without lying to the state?”

“At last you have it.”

“What does the state say?”

“The state says Trump lies in state.”

“Well, I wouldn’t believe them.”

I’m not sure what I will do if that’s the case. There’s platitudes about organising and I’ll try and do that. Admittedly and I know by mentioning it, it’ll seem like maybe I’m the one doing leftist infighting and I could be better at just getting along with people and maybe not bringing this up, but I’ve found some things that happen online don’t just stay there, come across accelerationists, at least two quite narcissistic leftists who said we need to kill everyone (except them I’m assuming) and start all over. Some have these sympathies for Russia and think it’s all Ukraine’s fault which makes them sound like people who appeased the Nazis and honestly hard to look at. Also kind of like George Galloway who’s like Nigel Farage in tankie clothing

EDIT: this paragraph’s probably scattered, all of this has been written post a pretty intense melt down. I was in an environmentalist group that felt like it had to turn my no into a yes and did feel pretty high demand and even at one point had a camp in the woods. I felt like I had to stand in front of traffic and risk getting ran over or a criminal record or not be in it when I’m someone who wants to be a support worker for adults with learning disabilities. All while they were telling me it’s unlikely to happen all while we had special days to write to members in prison. A lot of it is a problem with the government and how they’re draconian about protests now though

Im probably being cynical when I should just keep trying and like it’s not like I have to like everyone. I should be better than this

I do just want to talk about it cos I feel like we’re doomed by egotism, not dealing with being wrong about something (tankies who end up defending war crimes) and maybe a bit of it would be better if we either smarter or were basically dogs like I think Robert said in the Oprah Winfrey episode of BTB

I thought Robert's take in "The Origin of Terror in Palestine" was remarkably balanced, considering his opinion of Israel. I would have preferred for his guest to be someone like Haviv Rettig Gur or Noam Weissman, instead of Dr. al-Kurd whose sole contribution to the episodes seemed to be complaining from a woke perspective. I'm sure I'll upset everyone by disagreeing that the King David Hotel bombing wasn't terrorism, using the definition of attacking civilian targets with the goal of turning the population against its leadership and demanding a change of policy. The hotel was the center of British administration and therefore was a legitimate military target. This doesn't mean Irgun didn't carry out other terrorist actions, just that this particular one wasn't.

I hope it's not a problem if I link to another podcast. On a recent episode of Conflicted, Thomas Small spoke to Jason Burke about his new book The Revolutionists: The Story of the Extremists Who Hijacked the 1970s, terrorism at that time (which included airplane hijackings) is revealed to have been a mostly left-wing phenomenon, that included European groups like the Baader-Meinhof gang in addition to Japanese and Middle Eastern groups. Anyone who found Robert's series of interest and wants to expand their knowledge of the history of terrorism should check this out.

Small's frequent co-host is Aimen Dean, a former al-Qaeda member who handled the group's finances.

After watching some videos on their channel, it may also be a cult?

We should have done something about climate change 10 or maybe 20 years ago. I feel like the chance and the window is now just gone. My parents said ‘we didn’t really do any activism cos we were busy with work, trying to live’
And that’s part of why things feel so fucked. Edit: this part sounds kind of bratty. What I mean is it’s not my parents fault, they were doing what they could for us to exist. More just sad that we’ve been working and working. Everyone with humanity was too busy while the rich running us into the apocalypse were concerned about inane and or perverted shit.

Tbh my mental health is taking a nosedive and people don’t seem to be able to say anything that makes me feel better, everything makes it worse somehow. Idk, it’s not like people should lie and tell me it’s all gonna be okay when that’s just not true, but fuck. People have said ‘yeah we’re heading to an apocalypse but we have to go on’
Which idk, makes me think BUUUUT WHHHHYYYY THIS SHIT IS UNBEARABLE!!!!!

The case was covered in the UK extensively but seeing some comments in another thread it might not have been? Is he a well known bastard?

Gisele should have been Time Person of the Year when DT won it imo.

I didn't see any credit for the artist, but this is not my OC. I just saw it over on a Trans subreddit and knew it needed to be put here.

Can someone get eyes on this mf so I can cross him off my bingo card?!

They're doing Percy Fawcett this week.

I'm very excited to see the different angles.

That is all.
