Hi! I'm looking for some good book recommendations! I'm looking for something like Beautiful World, Where are You by Sally Rooney. It's about 4 friends and they all date each other at different times. However, she injects a bit of political theory in to the story, about how conservative isn't sustainable because nothing can be conserved. It was a really good part of the book, I though. Any books where they inject political theory like that? Also, political fiction is welcome. I enjoyed reading these books:

It Can't Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis Plot Against America by Philip Roth 1984 by George Orwell Brave New World by Aldous Huxley It Happened Here by Richard Dresser

Thank you!

Hi. I've been watching Reacher a lot lately, but I'm looking for more vigilante shows or crime-fighting shows. It'd be great if it was about fighting nazis or taking down the alt-right, but regular crime-fighting is alright too. Something like The Boys. Here are some of the shows I watch.

The Hunting Party Reacher Cross Rizzoli & Isles

Hi! I was browsing an anarchist news site, I think it was anarchistnews.org, and I came across a term I've never heard of, describing alternative/independent media. It was like Counterinformation, or countermedia, something like that. Basically news that very underground and not mainstream. Does anybody know the term I'm thinking of?

Hi. I'm curious what people think about Hard Lens Media? They used to be progressive/left-leaning, but I've been getting a right-wing vibe lately. I know they are independent. Also, what are your thoughts on Indie News Network?

Hi! I'm looking for new book recs. I'm looking for books about dysfunctional families or life isn't going the way the main character wants. Something like This Is Where I Leave you. Bonus if it has overbearing parents or parents struggling with addiction. Preferably something funny, but it doesnt have to be. Thank you!

Hi! I'm keeping a close eye on the Epstein Files drops and I'm looking for a left-wing channel that examines the files deeply. I know HasanAbi did a video, as well as The Serf Times. Are there any other channels that did a deep dive on the files?

Hi! I watch this creator that's kinda harsh on jewish people. He's used the term "Goy" before. He supports palestine afaik, but I think he could be a little antisemitic, maybe I'm wrong, I'm hoping I'm wrong. I'm not gonna say who this creator is because I don't want to bring disrespect upon him. In one of the videos he made, he's watching a channel called Due Dissidence, which, again, afaik, they are left-wing/left-leaning. Maybe I'm jumping to conclusions. I'm anti-zionist, but I don't hate jewish people. I guess my actual question is, is it antisemitic to call jewish or non-jewish people "Goy"? He's said this in the context where the person is bending the knee to israel and obeying israel.

UPDATE: I looked at his instagram, as I follow him on instagram, and lots of left-wing/pro-palestine people follow him.

Hello, comrades! I recently decided to peruse Rumble, as some of the channels on youtube have migrated there. I watch pred catching vids and youtube has cracked down on them. Anyways, on a whim I decided to check out the politics/news section. There's a bunch of less than intelligent creators but every so often I'll find a leftist video channel. Not many, but my journey has a long way to go. Anyways, does anyone else look for leftists on alt video/conservative video sites?

Hello comrades and friends! I've gotten back into reading and I've been buying books about fascism, because of the political climate. I've picked up a few books, like

It Can't Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis Cradles of the Reich by Jen Coburn The Plot Against America by Philip Roth

I know they aren't strictly anarchist, but they do talk about fascism/authoritarianism. Could you recommend me some books about anarchism as well as more books on fascism? I prefer fiction, but will read non-fiction as well.

Hello! I just learned/found out you can tile tabs or split the screen in two browsers. The first browser is Vivaldi, which has tab tiling. You hold down the control button, select which tabs you'd like to tile, then right click and select tile tabs.

The second browser, that can do this (afaik, maybe there's more browsers) is Zen browser! I was not aware Zen could do this, until I did the same method in Zen as in Vivaldi. Just hold down control and select the tabs, and you can then split the tabs. Zen has the ability to split multiple tabs. Vivaldi probably does, but I only needed two. Anyways, give Zen and Vivaldi a try for tab tiling.

Do you use tab tiling? What's your opinion?

Hi. Zen Browser just released with version 1.16. It has a new feature called Zen Glance, which is pretty cool. You can preview links in the same window as if you opened that link. Press ctrl-click on a link and a window pops up showing you the link/page. You don't have to leave the page you're on either! I clicked on a video link with Zen Glance, and honestly, you could watch a video in Zen Glance while you're on the search page of youtube. I'm not sure of any other browser doing this. It's very awesome in my opinion. Anyways, that's all I wanted to share.

Alcohol. It's more dangerous than it seems.

[-] sinewyshadow@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 years ago

I classify anything that helps your mood as self care lol. Drinking tea would be self care. Flossing helps your teeth stay healthy so I figured it counts.

[-] sinewyshadow@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago

Raddle, Discuit, Flingup, etc

[-] sinewyshadow@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago

mbin and kbin are both top notch sites.

[-] sinewyshadow@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 years ago

Not at all what I was saying, but okay.

I've never watched Real Time with Bill Maher. I was thinking more along the lines of if Democracy Now had Andrew Tate on to talk about the dangers of human trafficking. Questionable as in they are a covid denier or anti-trans views.
