The Battle for Damascus is over.

The regime of Bashar al-Assad has fallen.

Syria has been liberated.

Next up: Print sources on the war in Syria.

If you're new to this, start with Rania Abouzeid's "No Turning Back"; while it may lack on historical details recited in textbook fashion, it is big on personal stories and experiences, allowing one to understand the human side of the war first.
Brand new to following Syria? Followed back in the day but need a refresher? Bored this weekend? Have I got a thread for you. Much of this will rely on @frontlinepbs.bsky.social's phenomenal coverage of the conflict.

First up: www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontli...
The Regime
A profile of the dictator who has managed to hold on longer than any amidst the Arab unrest -- President Bashar al-Assad.

In honor of all the new arrivals, I'm sharing one of my favorite videos.

It shows 24 hours of Earth's rotation, with the camera locked to the sky instead of the ground. We're all hanging out on this spinning rock.

Brilliant work by Bartosz Wojczyński. 🧪

"ben collins is bad because infowars should be a 'deprogramming' platform" is a brain-dead take that speaks to a complete lack of knowledge of how anything works inflated by binging cult shows on netflix

Hi everyone.

The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars.

We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website.

We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off.

I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.
The Onion Buys Alex Jones’s Infowars Out of Bankruptcy
The satirical news site planned to turn Infowars into a parody of itself, mocking “weird internet personalities” who peddle conspiracy theories and health supplements.
