This is peak laziness. It seems that the reading list's author used autoplag to extrude the entire 60 page supplemental insert. The author also super-promises this has never happened before.

Absolutely delusional wishcasting on the part of our very good friends.

Pro-tier sneers by seasoned veterans, get em while they're hot!

Edit: I am reliably informed that it is no longer hot.

From the Uplifting News Department, an event that was brought to our attention by Wandering.shop member David Croyle. Specifically, that time that the administrators of rpg.net bluntly declared that their website is officially a No Nazis Bar.

Looks like a local boy did good.

I linked the /r/nashville post since it has a good description of the website. Users can see a history of rent prices for a given property and its neighbors, which gives some leverage in negotiations. For more context, local rent prices are down 6% from highs.

I'm curious to see if it takes off, and how robust it is against adversarial tactics like bogus reports and nuisance lawsuits.

Rojava has built what seems like a robust, equitable, bullshit-resistant mutual aid system in the face of incredible resistance. The idea of a system that can be an autonomous administration in some areas while operating--possibly legally--in parallel with a nation-state government in others is something I find very appealing.

I'm having a hard time understanding how the underlying system works in detail. I think this is largely due to a language barrier.

Any recommendations for Bookchin/Öcalan type reading for beginners? I've procrastinated on it because I hate reading theory (and it's always embarrassing to need hand holding at my age), but needs must. I haven't had much luck turning up English language stuff that lays out how the system works in a way I could share with a casual observer.

When you think MURDER, think MARCUS MUNITIONS!
