I tried contacting the embassy in London and they didn't get back to me :( . I know it's possible though, supposedly Xiangyu was doing something with them awhile back.

 

Hey, I run a small radio show, and I'm interested in featuring a few songs from artists in the DPRK. Specifically, I'm looking for electronic musicians. Besides what is on the wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_of_North_Korea), is anyone aware of other music that is coming out of the Juche state?

Putting up posters is cheaper and less legally dubious.

Is warren-snake-green running the Native American caucus again this year?

 

It's set in the style of a cinematic movie trailer, with a ton of glossy stock nature shots. It has (I think) AI Morgan Freeman as the voiceover. It's about 2 minutes long, and the punch line is something along the lines of "...it all depended on one fact, that he was gay and chinese". It got posted on /r/chapotraphouse a long time ago, and I haven' been able to find it since.

Death to "Low Fantasy", Long live "Magical Realism".

He's from Philly, so you know he's a fighter.

 

He'd win too. Why stop at being the head of a genocidal client state, when he can be the big dog?

It got so bad that Luis Arce was expelled from MAS last year.

 

I feel like I've heard quite a bit about Burkina Faso, Lamumba, and Egypt, but never anything about Ethiopia or Eritrea. What's a good place to start learning a bit more about these extremely large countries? I feel like most people memory hole these places like they do with Laos.

About 40 hours into a Stardew Valley run, and I forgot how fun the game was (stopped playing in 2016 or 2017). I feel like I've barely scratched the surface. There's so much in this game, I can barely believe 1 guy made it (and continues to work on it over a decade later).

No one is making you call it "X" bro.

CPUSA was literally half (or more than half on the high end) feds in the 60s. You can't fix that.

Nice to see the deep state is already concocting different ways to kill this woman. Frankly, I'm surprised someone hasn't taken a shot at AMLO yet.

I've been looking for a short version of "Surveillance Valley" to send to people, so thanks for this.

 

Songs, albums, or EPs, I want to hear them!

 

In addition to just being a very entertaining movie, this thing has such sinister vibes around it. So many winks and nods to CIA linked events in the near future like the car bombing of Orlando Letellier that would happen within a year of this movie releasing, as well as the invasion of the middle east. There's even a scene where the CIA media analyst / counter-intelligence agent looks directly into the camera and asks who would make a job like his. They even brought Richard Helms (the former CIA director) on as a consultant. I don't usually get weirded out by movies easily, but it left me feeling very unsettled. Watch this movie if you haven't seen it yet.

 

I'm also on Cloudresearch, but these sites are only getting me like $5 per day before I burn out. Are there better alternatives with maybe a little more effort or better pay?

 

Valkyria Chronicles isn't doing it for me

 

You get it all in this game, white phosphorous, lynchings, gunning down protestors, etc. The only positive of this game is that you get to gun down American troops in a video game with no pretense of doing this in real life(In Minecraft).

The worst part about this game is that war crimes are framed as inevitable. I literally can't progress in the game without gunning down civilians or shooting white phosphorous at the troops™

Like, this game would be good if there was once an anti-war message sprinkled in there. The fact that this producer can spread war crime porn is disgusting.

This game was marketed as the tough choices horror show of games, and boy did it fuck that up.

As an addendum: the campaign is kind of fun to play

 

Remember, sort by new.
