... 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!
... 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.

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?

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!

Preach.
For a start, there's the govt cancelling a focused tax on international online services making money from Aotearoa. A sensible policy I hadn't even heard was on the cards. While continuing with a link tax on currently dominant platforms - an unprincipled, short-term policy that has mostly failed in Oz, Canada and elsewhere - and the online age verification farce;

This selection has an abrasive edge, and I wasn't in the right mood for it the first time I tried to listen. But tonight, it was just the ticket. The call to action at the end is brilliant.

Thanks for the shout out on the podcast @bsots! I've been going through a challenging time, and it really made my day to hear that : )

FYI "Stand up" is geek jargon, for setting up a new server. To "stand up an instance of Mastodon", is to set up a new server running a copy of the Mastodon software.

Damned with faint praise! This is a good episode though.
"Using readings from Polanyi's work, the reminiscences of family and friends, and the comments of contemporary Polanyi scholars, it traces his life and thought from his childhood in 19th century Budapest to his final days in southern Ontario. A final programme examines his contemporary legacy."

... they briefly criticised "hashtag stuffing". OK, guilty as charged.
But on the fediverse, hashtags are what we use for discovery instead of serendipity generators ("The Algorithms"). Along with community timelines, and now keyword searches, they are ways to browse the pool of posts your server has from everyone someone follows.
"... we sit down with Adar Weinreb, founder of Sulha, to explore the roots of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and discuss alternative governance models beyond the nation-state. From the failures of partition to federal and confederal solutions like the Federation Plan, we delve into how decentralized frameworks could address the challenges of coexistence."
The two couldn't have been more different.
