209 - THE KING OF COMEDY (1982) + PERFECT BLUE (1997) ft. Michael Chau

This episode we sit down to discuss the recent antiwork internet phenomenon, its detachment from its more pointed ideological origins, and the growth of online spaces where people vent their frustrations with the nature of contemporary work. This discussion was spurred by a recent appearance by an r/antiwork moderator on Fox News, that lead to a viral backlash against it that, by the time you're hearing this you may well have forgotten about. Joining us are a few ex-mods from the anti-work discord.

#145 - Antiwork

The Boys are Back! We have a BIG NEW PROJECT in the works in Hollywood! We are all COOL with Johnny Depp! This is Season 2! A new dramatic reading of text messages!!!

Season 2 Episode 1: Floor Level Stain Glassed Window

We’re joined by one of the best critical observers of Web3 around – Molly White, creator of Web3 is Going Just Great – to discuss what made her, as a software engineer who is immersed in the tech sector and discourse, finally have to take a stand on Web3. We then break down how Web3 fetishizes its own apparent complexity-as-convolution, the pitfalls in how it is covered by reporters, the cynicism of its biggest advocates, and the internal ideological contradictions at the heart of Web3.

Seasone 2 Episode 3: Business Doggies and Nate

We are unlocking a premium episode in which we discuss Ed’s new reporting on the political economy of play-to-earn games, focusing on Axie Infinity and its super-exploitative system of “managers” and “scholars.” Surprise, surprise – the technological and financial foundation of Axie Infinity is just a house of cards built on a bed of sand. Its failure is inevitable. The question is: how much damage will it do along the way?

159. Big Tech Trouble in China

Inflaatio tuntuu bensapumpulla ja lähikaupassa. Mikä hintoja nostaa? Onko kyse väliaikaisesta, muun muassa Venäjä-pakotteiden aikaansaamasta ilmiöstä, vai onko syytä varautua siihen, että inflaatio piinaa taloutta vielä aimo tovin? Ajetaanko maailmantalous taantumaan inflaation kaitsemisen nimissä? Miksi talouspolitiikan työkaluvajassa on hintojen nousun hillintää varten vain rahapolitiikan moukareja ja dynamiittia, vaikka käyttöä olisi hienovaraisemmille instrumenteille?

Podcastin suuressa inflaatiojaksossa poliittisen talouden tutkijat Lauri Holappa ja Jussi Ahokas keskustelevat inflaation syistä, keskuspankkien liikkumavarasta sekä globaalitalouden laajemmista institutionaalisista ongelmista, jotka vaikeuttavat inflaation suitsimista.

Jakso 48: Inflaatio! (feat. Lauri Holappa & Jussi Ahokas)

The chief of the UK Army, Patrick Sanders, told his troops to prepare for World War III with Russia. Benjamin Norton discusses how Western imperialists are threatening nuclear apocalypse to try to save their declining empires.
