I think the random shelf stocker was behind a milk crate desk, so all very official. :P
https://aussie.zone/u/philip this is my favourite post of the week, please update as details emerge. I want to know how the saga unfolds. Will the ACCC get involved, will Head Office respond, will https://aussie.zone/u/philip go nuclear contacting their local Parliamentary Representative.
No shame in taking inspiration from the greatest, most excitingist, and amazingist show on earth.
I reckon Cabbages would be a great business idea in a Solarpunk kinda world… just sayin.
Pick, place looks good, cheers.
Ooh! The Kākā looks good. Shall be checking out.
I enjoy a podcast or two, and i only see a few here i know, so heres a few favourites that i didn’t see yet,
Battleground: Ukraine, podcast that was being started about historical battles at the same time as the march on Kyiv happened. They pivoted and have kept abrest of events weekly since then. Its been very valuable during times the rest of the media aren’t covering it.
Age of Napoleon, an all time favourite, Everett Rummage is a well researched unassuming host. His excursion into the history of Haiti and its ties to the Napoleonic era is some of the best podcast hours i’ve ever spent.
Philosophize This, Stephen West is the happiest podcaster in a state that most philosophers would refer to as alive. He has gone through so many philosophers from all ages and gives them all a fair go.
Capitalisn’t, Bethany Mclean and Luigi Zingales take an issue with the capital system today, interview an expert, and discuss.
Debunking Economics, Welcome to the mind of economist Steve Keen. The most heterodox economist kicking goals today. Slightly MMT but has some disagreements, and shines a new lense over the field of economics.
Dot Social, Interview Podcast for the fediverse curious. Don’t know if anybody here would be interested in that kind of thing though…
Rest is Politics UK/US, both UK and US ones are great. These political current affairs podcasts are hosted by former political insiders. Their insights are valuable, even if you disagree with them. The podcasts motto is “disagree agreeably”. Rory Stewart and Allastair Campbell’s discussion on the Iraq War was an extremely poignant and honest moment and is well worth listening.
Climate Deniers Playbook, Same guy from Climate Town on YouTube, but even more annoying because he’s right there in your ear holes telling you about all the ways Big Oil is going out of its way to fuck you, and specifically you, over.
The Tally Room, Ben Raue interviews a guest or two on Australasian elections. He analyses and discusses the electoral possibilities in upcoming elections, and historical electoral practices. This is not a politics podcast, its an election analysis podcast. Therefore he generally only strays into the policies of a certain party as it impacts on the electoral outcomes of the government area in question.
I hope theres some podcasts in there that interest people.
He bought it because he was going to be forced to https://finance.yahoo.com/news/why-did-elon-musk-agree-080448660.html
I really dislike how this fact is being forgotten. There is no ‘big brain’ conspiracy going on here he got caught out making an offer that he didn’t actually mean to be taken seriously. The rest has been making the best, for himself, of a bad situation.
Also this article only gets to the really interesting question in the last twenty words or so. ‘Why are people still on there?’ Thats the analyses good journalists could be focusing on.
King st is named after the 3rd Governor of Victoria, someone King. Right, leave that in the memory box for that random guiz night question.
Don’t worry, they’ll survive, so will the planet. Its less certain for the rest of humanity and many other plant and animal species though. /j (kind of).
Anyway, we’re doing your server and thus username no justice, commenting in such gloomy terms. Solarpunk is such a breath of fresh air into these issues. And where endemic power structures fail you already see its themes of strengthened community bonds quickly reestablish themselves and shine through.
Solarpunk also hits the nail on the head with iur societies key issue. Its the structural design of our societies elevating private ownership claims as superior to societal ownership claims, its imbalanced.
But Covid, financial crises, wars and now Climate change quickly prove the, so called, independently strong are actually only as strong as the societal strength holding them tall.
Sorry, went off on a tangent.
Wow, not a fan of Nike generally, but i def learned a few new things from that burst of typespiration.
Theres a book called “Shoe Dog”, (i haven’t read it), about the beginning of Nike, maybe you should write a response book called “Dog Shoes - A Nike Exploitation story”.
But what is America without US? /s
I’d rather chill in the spirit world. Maybe spend a few years lost in the fog of lost souls, go hang with Hei Bai, attack some rando’s cause someones been breakin trees, end most nights catching up on some reading at Wan Shi’s library. I’d avoid the face stealer, cause that ones a dick! Probably drop in on Iroh once in a while for an injection of wisdom in my life.
Spirit world is where its at.
The car industry execs should be laughing their heads off at naive bank execs assuming they know more about it than the car execs. Don’t they think the car execs already know what the risk and competitive nature of their own business.
Guess what bankers, this is how you produce positive growth in a real productive industry, and its risky business. Instead the bankers prescription assumes managed decline.
It’s like that new guy at work who constantly tells everyone about ‘hacks’ only they’ve discovered, when everybody already knows about them.
Glad to see someone has mentioned this. Huge gains in time in the day for a huge part of the population.
Everytime i go for a walk i see something new that i haven’t noticed before.
Doing what to casual observater seems like the same thing over and over again, can actually be the process of developing a deeper understanding of the subject area than before, (in this case your local neighbourhood).
Happy anniversary! Thanks for all the background work you and lodion do to keep our little corner of the web alive.
I’s surprised to see this post on Melbs daily chat, but it makes a lot of sense, being the biggest spot for a shindig on aussie.zone! :)
Someone call Mr Squiggle, that red line ain’t very straight!
To paraphrase the post,
We people have always been ignorant, we just keep the receipts now.
Whats this note about?
I’m also unfortunately a bit suss about what the graffiti actually said,
referenced the deaths of Jewish people.
isn’t really enough evidence for me anymore, due to the term anti-semitism being launched at even the smallest amount of critiscim of the Government and State of Israel.
The LA metro? Like, theres a passenger/commuter train in LA?
