anarchost@lemm.eeto Ye Power Trippin' Bastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com•I have the inaugural ban from altmedia.house. Things they like: Mint Press News, Chris Hedges, Tucker Carlson. Things they hate: "disinformation", apparently.6·6 days agoMax Blumenthal and Aaron Mate are pretty shitty people in their own right
Idk if they’re getting funded, but Gray Zone definitely sucks. Their coverage is consistently atrocious, and they publish unmitigated apologia for some of the worst regimes on the planet (specifically Assad). I’ve made this point repeatedly, but Max Blumenthal - the Gray Zone’s founder - actually resigned from Al Akhbar after they began propagating the sort of Assad apologia he’s since made a career out of. He later published a piece addressing the merits of humanitarian intervention in Syria in a far more nuanced capacity than anything that’s ever appeared on Gray Zone. It seems pretty evident that he’s a grifter who’s found a very particular niche to profit off of.
anarchost@lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is JD Vance mad at cat ladies because they won't let him eat their cats?1·9 months agoIt all makes sense now. The single cat ladies have been enticing Haitian migrants with the plan to make them all transgender, just like Trump said.

anarchost@lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are your favorite examples of 'media within media' (e.g., shows, stories, or movies inside of other shows or books)?3·9 months agoInside the 90s anime Martian Successor Nadesico, there is a 70s-era anime called Gekiganger III. Characters various levels of knowledgeable about, or fans of, the show. A single OVA episode was released in addition to the clips from within Nadesico.
anarchost@lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is a product that sounded promising but ended up being very underwhelming?1·9 months agoI’m sorry to hear that, but I take some solace and knowing that Elon had minimal input with the original vehicles, and they were modeled after something that was designed by other companies.
Considering most anime is low effort schlock that contains episodic plots that get nowhere (and even linear narratives tend to progress at the speed of molasses), if somebody tells me they “like anime” without elaborating, I think less of them then if they told me they “like music.”
anarchost@lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is a product that sounded promising but ended up being very underwhelming?221·9 months agoI’d say Tesla in general became a disappointment. The Cybertruck was just the blister on top.
It’s not difficult to hold two ideas simultaneously:
X is important (because people decided to make it that way)
X shouldn’t be important (and wouldn’t be, if people hadn’t made it that way)
I hear it’s something leftists talk about when they don’t want to do things that they associate with being liberal
Have you actually seen anybody change their minds, or are you just perceiving more pro Israel people?
Hero worship isn’t leftist and nobody should rush to defend it

anarchost@lemm.eeto Data Is Beautiful@lemmy.ml•Who is "End Wokeness", a data filled journey4·10 months agoI don’t mind the content, but this guy starts the video by poisoning the well against himself. At least, when somebody describes using technology to launder drone strikes, that’s what it does to me.
anarchost@lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Now that Joe is out what rhetoric from the right (and left) are you going to completely ignore?17·10 months ago“Kamala is not American” is coming.
She spent several years in Canada, so we have Canadian yearbook photos. And if conservatives can say Barack Obama is not American, and anti-immigrant sentiment is rising, they will definitely do it about her.
anarchost@lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•As an outsider, please explain me how people like Biden and Trump are allowed to run for president of the most powerful nation in the world?1·11 months agoI would be very happy if Biden got elected and then immediately stepped down. He doesn’t even have to telegraph it. I don’t care.
Not Immediately Killing Every Minority 2024 wooooo
anarchost@lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•As an outsider, please explain me how people like Biden and Trump are allowed to run for president of the most powerful nation in the world?3·11 months agoI wish there were debates in the 2024 Democratic primaries.
