Andrew Cuomo is the anthropomorphic personification of "shitlib," an egregore formed from the regrettable dreams of ten million mediocre centrists who will overlook a million deadly sins in order to return to "normal."

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.

John Mulaney gets paid by prompt fondlers to tell jokes at a party. He spends 45 minutes telling them that they are idiots, which is nice.
In a questionable new trend, supermarkets in the South now seem to be selling bullets right out of a dispenser.
