for economics/finance etc i think naked capitalism is really interesting if you want to know about the nitty gritty details of the various finance and econ items that crop up in the news. they have some really good detailed pieces (like, a lot of them) on things like mortgage foreclosures in the USA, the trans-pacific partnership deals and why it's really bad, the specifics of why obamacare is really bad &c so if you are interested in the details it's pretty cool.
i'm interested in hearing more about international affairs from some people who bring the good shit, esp in terms of detailed analysis or kool journalism. i feel like probably everyone already knows about truthout and i remember finding out that most of the cool articles that i found back when i read le monde diplo came from tom englehardt's blog (they have a pretty good series of posts about us military presence in africa that's i like a lot). there's also a blog mostly on surveillance stuff that i like and they have good shit too. i'm also a huge nerd so this extremely exhaustive world elections blog is extremely cool to me. also shoutouts to h krink. anybody like any good blogs? i want them. backus was talking about black agenda report which seems really good so i gotta get on that but i want even more good blogs. my greed is endless.
the new left review is a cool magazine imo and so are our new Baffler overlords. anyone know some other good ones?
also please post itt cool leftist podcasts or something because i dont know any and also livestream things and good videos and other stuff. yeah.
here is a list of cool things organized roughly by topic? this is basically a guess since i haven't started reading most of the things itt particularly hard yet so yell at me if something should be somewhere else or needs a better label or whatever.

slingshot has some stuff online that's pretty informative, though they only recently switched their stance from anarchoprimitivism. the print version is free to the homeless and poor in the east bay, so thats cool.
if you ignore the anarchism and just re-insert a little stalin they're both good

rhizzone is always more active during the summer. probably because half the posters here are still students

jools posted:yo whats the "deal" with landdestroyer, who is tony cartalucci, why does he ride so hard for the yellowshirts in thailand, it's very odd
he lives in thailand and has weird views towards it. i dont know much about the situation there but just from reading his posts his analysis about thailand is completely different than anywhere else like someone else is writing it.
he wrote some thing about big government and big agriculture in cahoots to give rice farmers subsidies and the whole thing was crazy. apparently "vote buying populism' was the goal of the government (a weird way of saying the poor rural farmers voted overwhelmingly for them) and the govt is in cahoots with the IMF and the U.S. even though it's the IMF who wants to get rid of the subsidies. the solutions he offers are some weird TED talk and economic self-sufficiency through the King.

if reading something where the author is completely nuts and biased about a specific issue bothers you I completely understand. im so used to it from the NYT on venezuela, wsws on stalinism, democracynow on syria, etc that i can just filter it out and pick out the good info from the bad (or at least i try to).
jools posted:oh no, i dont think he's nuts, i just think he's probably being paid by the yellowshirts and royalists etc to write stuff on that issue
that is also likely
