Not sure if this is anything but I’m trying to book a flight and hotel, two separate companies, and I’m getting host errors (Cloudflare seems to be fine though?). Weird delays and failures in other websites too. In talking with people over the phone at these companies too they’re getting server/hosting errors as well. Just kind of weird
Edit: also some phone calls just not connecting…strange

Very nice to imagine so many Americans working together to construct a particular thing, over such a long period of time, that is then destroyed by a Russian missile. It’s a small comfort but I think of their collective impotence, watching from the horizon

This reads to me as peacocking for the Dem base. Meaningless in every other sense

My partner and I have a short break next week and some credit card points so we decided to go to Chicago since we’ve never been. Totally forgot the DNC is happening at the same time. We’ve already booked flights and hotel and stuff damn it. At least if something funny happens I’ll be there for the history of it. Any recommendations for things to do/see in Chicago? Also I’m hoping there are some Gaza protests we can join, anyone know of any going on?
Imperial Olympic grandeur, but as vacant nostalgia. Israeli economy crashing. Trump backed in a corner. Sahel states uniting. Commercial real estate crisis reaching terminus. Ukraine about to cede. Polish EU infighting. Chinese Thorium reactor beginning construction. Record breaking global heat averages. Argentinian economy in free fall. Covid surging. Personal credit debt at record high. General strikes planned in various countries. Idk, a number of things. Just feels like there are a lot of fast moving trains at different angles that are crashing into one another, and those bundles are about to collectively crash into each other. Are we on the station, in the train, or at the cliff?
Literally felt like I was in Righteous Gemstones lmao a whole squad of like 30 middle aged dudes turned a corner chanting “Jesus” with a sort of protest cadence and carrying a cross. Funniest thing I’ve seen in a while
My partner and I have about 60k in student loans and haven’t been paying even though they started back in October. I’m waiting to see if maybe we just shouldn’t. I remember there being chatter about how Nelnet and other loan holders had like laid off a bunch of people during the pause and hadn’t hired them back, and the system is overloaded and fucked, and how are people suddenly going to pay a big monthly expense anyway, etc etc. But if people were to not pay them, I feel like the media would not want to perpetuate that narrative and build it into something real by spreading the word so to speak. So I don’t know if there’s a way to gauge is people are actually paying them? Does anyone know?
Any recommendations for cool things to do in the next three days
1) Gloria Steinem 2) A Man 3) Some Other Woman
He’s literally fighting to stay alive and the nurse, who was not even wearing an N95 just a regular mask, told my mother-in-law in the ICU room to keep a few feet away because she has Covid. She said she had to work because of staffing issues and the hospital’s strict attendance policy. Later we called the nurse supervisor who said “well there aren’t any positive tests so it’s fine” even though the nurse point blank told us she had Covid. Supervisor said she could “try to get her reassigned if it would make us feel better.” Just please burn this country down to the ground. Please
Hey folks I got a question maybe some of you could help out with. My partner (cis female) wants to get into Discord and join some servers but not totally sure where to start. She’s a leftist too, and would love some communities that are more geared for women/Marxist feminists/etc. If she joined one at least I think she’d be able to get a hang of things and eventually start exploring more specific interests and stuff in other servers. I don’t think she’s looking for like hardcore theory stuff but just a space to connect with other leftist women (obviously trans and non-binary too!)
What sort of hypothetical tips, tricks, pitfalls, and red flags are there
My partner asked me if I had any podcast recos specific for news since she isn't on Twitter or anything really. She enjoys Rev Left every now and then, but she's looking for something more timely/news-focused and like an ongoing run-through of current events from a (hopefully) Marxist perspective, or however close that can reasonably be. I'm putting together a list and have Democracy Now and Citations Needed (although CN is lengthier and less "hard-hitting news" type podcast than what she's looking for). But I'm kind of stuck. The Socialist Program with Brian Becker is kind of like too aggressive and focused on imperialism, I don't know anything about Coffee with Comrades, Deconstructed seems lib?, also don't know anything about the Jacobin podcasts like The Dig. Is Behind the News any good? I feel like Democracy Now is the type of comprehensive news delivery that she's looking for the most, but I know that show can be anti-communist too. Idk, what does everyone think? *Edit -- Hell yeah thank you all so much! I’m going with Morning Means TV, Give the People What They Want, The Punch Out, Citations Needed, and Democracy Now for a solid wrap of news podcasts
Does anyone have any links handy to a consolidated breakdown of the Ukraine coup? I was arguing with a lib friend on this and he doesn't believe it was a coup at all, or that the US was involved. He thinks the Ukrainian people wanted to join the EU via a referendum and then Putin intervened to stop that. I've read passing tidbits on things like meetings at the US embassy, Yanukovych's sudden turning away from the EU/IMF, etc, but it's all still a little unclear even for me. Would appreciate an article or substack or something on this, and any podcast episodes would be cool too
Anyone know how to get a hold of the Hinge Points episodes in a sharable way for a friend who is not a CTH Patreon? I was specifically looking for the Civil War episode and can only find this broken link - (something like c10.patreonusercontent.com, idk it didn’t paste correctly). My friend is a lib who is super into history and literally argued with me that history is, indeed, simply a collection of unrelated events. An act of randomness. He’s a smart guy too and not entirely a lib, and I was blown away by that
Not sure if I'm bringing up a known issue or not, but the mobile site is coming up just a white blank page for me since the crash earlier this week. Using an iPhone via Safari
My wife just got a Twitter handle and was looking for a good way to get news from leftist sources/perspectives, and anything else cool. Any good accounts come to mind? I’m kind of new to Left Twitter too so would love some recs. She isn’t like a full on communist yet but a solid socialist, so to speak, still like building her base of knowledge so would probably be turned off to any hardcore/outright theory accounts. Obvs any anarchist stuff welcome too. But yeah, just looking to give her a solid list to start with. Thanks for the help! - News/events orgs, journalists, people with good critical takes, etc - Funny people - Community outreach/mutual aid (+1 for PNW stuff) - Female voices, could be funny, feminist, anything really - BIPOC and LGBTQ+ perspectives - International news - She likes dance, forests, art, movies, etc - Anything else!
