Ten Thousand Posts

For our annual Holiday episode, we roll in the big TV, sit back, and watch as a magic Santa causes several terror attacks across international waters, in order to unite the Jonas Brothers, as they head home for Christmas. We talk about the stranger moments that occur in the film, the mystery of the “Bonus Jonas” brother, whether the Jonas Brothers put out a Christmas movie as a means to address post-divorce allegations. ------- PALESTINE  AID LINKS -You can donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians and other charities using the links below. https://www.map.org.uk/donate/donate https://www.savethechildren.org.uk/how-you-can-help/emergencies/gaza-israel-conflict -Palestinian Communist Youth Union, which is doing a food and water effort, and is part of the official communist party of Palestine https://www.gofundme.com/f/to-preserve-whats-left-of-humanity-global-solidarity -Water is Life, a water distribution project in North Gaza affiliated with an Indigenous American organization and the Freedom Flotilla https://www.waterislifegaza.org/ -Vegetable Distribution Fund, which secured and delivers fresh veg, affiliated with Freedom Flotilla also https://www.instagram.com/linking/fundraiser?fundraiser_id=1102739514947848 -Thamra, which distributes herb and veg seedlings, repairs and maintains water infrastructure, and distributes food made with replanted veg patches https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-thamra-cultivating-resilience-in-gaza -------- PHOEBE ALERT Okay, now that we have your attention; check out her Substack Here!

This week, writer and journalist Imogen West-Knights comes on the pod to talk about shrimp farming, the joys of looking after small, low-maintenance sea creatures, and what it’s taught her about caregiving.

Jacob returns to the show this week to talk about his new book, GILDED RAGE: Elon Musk and the Radicalisation of Silicon Valley.

Jacob explains how the post-2008 economic environment allowed the tech industry to amass an enormous amount of wealth and political power, using access to cheap credit and government contracts to embed themselves into democratic institutions. He then explains how the ascendance of culture wars, addictions to posting online and deep seeded resentment led to the formation of a violent, reactionary politics that now dominates much of the Western world, and could threaten the very concept of democracy.

We also talk about why this project may have been Oobah’s funniest, but also most depressing – and what happens when a documentarian has to confront a group of people who refuse to engage with reality, while using their wealth to manipulate the world around them.  Watch Oobah’s documentary here: https://www.channel4.com/programmes/how-i-made-1-million-in-90-days ------- PALESTINE  AID LINKS -You can donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians and other charities using the links below. https://www.map.org.uk/donate/donate https://www.savethechildren.org.uk/how-you-can-help/emergencies/gaza-israel-conflict -Palestinian Communist Youth Union, which is doing a food and water effort, and is part of the official communist party of Palestine https://www.gofundme.com/f/to-preserve-whats-left-of-humanity-global-solidarity -Water is Life, a water distribution project in North Gaza affiliated with an Indigenous American organization and the Freedom Flotilla https://www.waterislifegaza.org/ -Vegetable Distribution Fund, which secured and delivers fresh veg, affiliated with Freedom Flotilla also https://www.instagram.com/linking/fundraiser?fundraiser_id=1102739514947848 -Thamra, which distributes herb and veg seedlings, repairs and maintains water infrastructure, and distributes food made with replanted veg patches https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-thamra-cultivating-resilience-in-gaza -------- PHOEBE ALERT Okay, now that we have your attention; check out her Substack Here!

This week, we talk about what the decaying internet means for regular people – especially those who rely on janky, corporate owned hosting platforms to maintain archives of their work, or cherished old memories.  Alexis and Helen outline the scale of the problem, and explain why, despite its  urgency, few tech companies are interested in the work of preserving and conserving our data.  We then talk about the work of volunteer and non-profit organisations, including the Accessible Archivists Coalition,  working to preserve older versions of the internet, and discuss some of the strategies you can employ at home to extract your online history, and the tools you can use to preserve it for the future.  Read Helen and Alexis’ articles here: https://substack.com/@helenvogelsong/p-175209993 https://substack.com/@helenvogelsong/p-170750885 Subscribe to Cache & Burn : https://cacheandburn.substack.com/?utm_campaign=profile_chips Subscribe to Daiquiri Chat: https://daiquiriheiress.substack.com/?utm_campaign=profile_chips Support the Accessible Archivists Coalition: https://theaac.substack.com/?utm_campaign=profile_chips ------- PALESTINE  AID LINKS -You can donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians and other charities using the links below. https://www.map.org.uk/donate/donate https://www.savethechildren.org.uk/how-you-can-help/emergencies/gaza-israel-conflict -Palestinian Communist Youth Union, which is doing a food and water effort, and is part of the official communist party of Palestine https://www.gofundme.com/f/to-preserve-whats-left-of-humanity-global-solidarity -Water is Life, a water distribution project in North Gaza affiliated with an Indigenous American organization and the Freedom Flotilla https://www.waterislifegaza.org/ -Vegetable Distribution Fund, which secured and delivers fresh veg, affiliated with Freedom Flotilla also https://www.instagram.com/linking/fundraiser?fundraiser_id=1102739514947848 -Thamra, which distributes herb and veg seedlings, repairs and maintains water infrastructure, and distributes food made with replanted veg patches https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-thamra-cultivating-resilience-in-gaza -------- PHOEBE ALERT Okay, now that we have your attention; check out her Substack Here!
