where are some good places to read about foreign affairs? i used to read le monde diplo until i realized (maybe i'm wrong?) that most of the good stuff seemed to come from other blogs.

Russia Today can be pretty informative, even though it makes zero pretensions about not being state-sponsored propaganda

i was thinking more in terms of long form, magazine style stuff. i already have a friend who posts RT stuff all the time lol
edit: like, i like the stuff that new left review has on international affairs. are there publications of similar quality and/or length that focus more on international affairs?

well then you're probably going to want to stick with blogs. pepe escobar is still pretty solid. phil greves is a good writer too.


cool thanx
edit: does pepe escobar have all of his stuff in one place or is this going to be that thing where i have to comb lots of different news sources and probably google him every few months like when i want to find out if adolph reed has done anything lately?

i have zero concept of what is popular or where people get ideas anymore. vice is a big thing? people pay attention to it seriously?

breaking bad was p good if u havent seen that.

i got the impression it was just a lot of wallowing in the meaninglessness of modernity and i get enough of that from inside my own head



wow well ok fart for a mind dont gotta be snarky with it

well if you're born in and treated by others as male growing up its difficult to see how you would get your conception of female experience any other way.

Patrick Higgins' blog is great, as for journalists uh, Eva Golinger is really good though a lot of it's in Spanish, Black Agenda Report though it's more editorial than reporting I guess, ummmm

maybe this should be its own thread

it doesn't go into their imperial cheerleading and tour-guide-to-the-Orient style of foreign affairs coverage.

write the article

well maybe, it was gonna be more of an email than an article. i'm honestly pretty far out of the loop on Actual Foreign Affairs ever since I burned out on reading the news a few years back, but maybe that'd be a good way to get reoriented, IDK. A lot of the actual work of uncovering this stuff was done by other people who i follow on twitter/etc. but it might be good to synthesize it.

also on the ®branded #content thing, here is the head of NewsCorp: "Thomson also expected a level of distrust at the rise of native advertising, saying that while the titles under his control are "clearly doing it", caution needs to be taken over the potential impact on editorial quality." It's hilarious to me that Danny Gold said that doesn't happen because Vice has literally done that since day one, I mean way back in its earliest days their Dos and Donts secretly promoted brands that had paid them.



even if its just relying mostly on other peoples legwork having it all in one big thing would be very helpful
