Counterpoint: Commander on tabletop sim is really fun. Why yes my deck does cost 800 dollars on mtg goldfish because I put all the prettiest cards in it. How much did I pay? 5 dollars for tabletop sim on sale
I have a redmi note 11 and I find they work really well for being in that price range. Only downside is you need to get it drop shipped because they aren't sold in North America, and the band comparability isn't the same so the signal can be a little weak.
All the talk about TIFF cancelling the documentary about Russian soldiers is breaking my brain. It's not enough that the documentary is already pro Ukraine by showing the Russian soldiers become disillusioned with the war, anything that shows Russians as human beings cannot be allowed in Western media. Knowing 
they would gladly show a documentary humanizing Nazis but Russians are a bridge too far
That's because the monarch is the figurehead of head of state power, while the de facto head of state is the prime minister. So according to outdated laws they are technically seperate

Ah yes, creating a list of minority populations is always a good sign and not representative of a nation committing systematic genocide of said group
Nope not that one! The fact that it could be more than one album is fucked

Typical for West Germany with its state sponsored pedophile program and based on what that creep Steve Albini did CSA was essentially legal there

CW: Discussion of CSA, This comment on an album famous for picturing CSA literally reads as a parody of redditors
(hexbear.net)
This album came up in a discussion of worst album covers of all time, and rightfully so. I don't want to name the band because they're not lying, Wikipedia is seriously fighting to keep this album cover uncensored and accessible.
This isn't some edgy underground band either it's a very popular band from the 70s/80s. It's insane how normalized this pedophilic behaviour was and is in the music scene.
I know this might count as low hanging fruit because it's some random on a website, but I'm trying to dunk more on the actual concept here which I am obviously not linking to.

So I saw the apparently Red Scare Pod associated movie "The Sweet East" (it literally thanks Dasha and Anna in the credits) and its the perfect encapsulation of their politics
(upload.wikimedia.org)
And not in a good way.
The movie is written by Nick Pinkerton, who I've never heard of before but is apparently associated with the Red Scare Pod in some way. The movie is a mumblecore surrealist comedy loosely based on Alice in Wonderland, where the main character travels through different parts of the United States and meets different characters. It's got some funny parts and it held together well enough in the beginning but it starts to drag by the second vignette and really starts to broadcast where it leans politically.
The main character essentially acts listlessly throughout the entire movie and calls things and people ableist slurs. While other characters are supposed to...I guess represent different political positions in the US? I don't really know what the point was meant to be, but the vibe is "caring about things is dumb". There's four main vignettes which boil down to the following:
spoiler
-
A group of anarchists that never actually profess any political beliefs besides not working and eating food from the garbage. The main anarchist character is immediately shown to b a sex pest and the group then goes out to a field to fight Nazis that aren't there. (This is the only representation of the political left in the movie)
-
An academic Nazi who takes in our main character and lets her live in his house. He is given ample time to espouse his ideas and does not attempt to sleep with the main character which is shown to be a big deal. She lives with him as a tradwife for some time, and is like happy with it I think? But eventually runs away
-
Two New York film makers who are making a period piece. Sorry I really don't know what this one was trying to say it just felt random, but the film shoot ends when Nazis shoot everyone.
-
An Arabic guy who saves the main character from the shooting, but oh no! It turns out he's locking her away to be his wife and also he lives in a terrorist training camp.
And then finally the writer of the movie shows up as a Catholic monk to save the main character and talk about miracles for some reason.
Maybe I don't get it because I don't really vibe with this kind of art. But genuinely this movie was pretty boring and it feels gross when you know the politics behind it. I will give them credit though, I was anticipating a TERFy joke the entire movie and I didn't catch one.

Not too different from last year, a bit more blue than before. Some cases like Peru I put National Conservatism because that seems the closest to Fujimorism since the congress ousted Castillo
