"Maybe, something like this [anti-genocide boycotts] will shame this will scare, or shame ... festivals or companies or whatever into making more ethical choices.

I mean, this is before we even get onto the antitrust case that the US DoJ is taking against TicketMaster and Live Nation, which is next March I think that starts. Big money is never clean."

"... Data Workers Inquiry ... is a really important example of bringing attention to what's going on in the work that is hidden behind the facade of artificial intelligence because it's being marketed so heavily is fully automated when it's always people and so the various initiatives to make that visible are hugely meaningful even if they are small compared to the onslaught."

Late last year, Hard Fork did an intriguing interview with Julian Kelly, the director of quantum computing at Goggle;

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/13/podcasts/hardfork-tiktok-quantum-claude.html

Starts at about the 20min mark, after a deep dive on the US TikTok drama, and before a chat about the Claude chatbot.

"Using some mapping we found that the rooftops of 14 of Auckland's largest buildings would have the same land area as the largest solar farm under construction [in Aotearoa]. So we could potentially be distributing those solar panels in our city ..."

"You mention the manager wants to see if the employee is really working, I mean, is the manager really working if they're just looking at these screenshots [of employees' desktops] all day?"

"Sports influencers and celebrity influencers or whatever it is that's driving this craze, they should be thinking and reflecting very strongly about [Run it Straight] now. But it's not something you can practically ban at a government level. But it's just calling for people to exercise individual responsibility."

Listening to Decoding the Gurus critique Naomi Klein;

https://decoding-the-gurus.captivate.fm/episode/naomi-klein-it-was-neoliberal-capitalism-all-along

... I just realised I'm really jealous of people who actually think Gaia can sustain late capitalism. Who've never look deeply into how their everyday life is produced, what energy and resources that requires, and how long they can continue to be extracted. Imagine the bliss of thinking that if you keep earning roughly the same income, your world can just chug on unchanged, indefinitely!

Anthony Albanese waxes lyrical about the imminent prohibition on young Australians using social media;

https://alastaircampbell.org/2025/04/130-the-prime-minister-of-australia-trump-china-and-social-media-anthony-albanese/

... without giving a shred of detail about how it's supposed to work. Let alone addressing any of the criticisms of the age verification approach, even those made by anti-corporate, pro-regulation tech activists.

"That's what everybody wants ... They want to feel like they belong somewhere and they want to feel loved by people. That's why all this 'getting tough on crime' bollocks is never going to work. You can't get tougher on those people than has already been."

In Mihi Forbes' report on Rimmer's political influences, we hear Canadian Professor Tom Flanagan eulogising about how much more civilized our colonising ancestors were than the indigenous people they dispossessed;

https://www.rnz.co.nz/podcast/mata-with-mihingarangi-forbes?share=72011f03-6c03-4be9-bd4f-bb8d71b6606c

If they were so civilized, why did they enslave people, and name places in indigenous peoples' lands after slavers?

Or if that's a sign of being civilised, why did they stop?

Hipkins is still humming the same tune he was singing a year ago, the 'no new ideas about tax policy' march;

https://omny.fm/shows/the-bradbury-group/the-bradbury-group-pre-budget-special-chris-hipkins-matthew-hooton-john-tamihere-craig-renney-21-may

Why the f%$k not Chippy? Both TPM and the Greens had wealth tax cards on the table in the last election, and *grew* their vote from 2020. Labour didn't, and haemorrhaged support.

Taxing wealth accumulation is financially sensible, ethically justified, and popular. Find a f%&king spine Labour, commit to a policy!

A good summary of the 1990s internet commons, and maybe a warning for the online commons of the 2020s?

"Well, the Market hadn't figured out how to monetize it yet, and the commoners, for their part, didn't preemptively devise ways to protect the value they were creating."

"This is the trickle-down budget. This is the no ambition budget. This is the ask the lowest paid working women in this country to pay the cost of your unequal economy budget. This is the 'let them eat cake' budget."
