I listen to them at work the night after. I’ll be listening to Fridays show tonight.
The Majority Report had an excellent interview with this author Brian Merchant who wrote the book “Blood in the Machine” about the luddites. It is quite interesting that luddites were not against technology, they were against the owner class using machines to replace skilled workers with unskilled workers using mechanized systems for lower pay and taking all the profits.
The interview went for nearly an hour but is worth a watch. It starts at the 30 min mark. https://www.youtube.com/live/SOsFm5H_M3w?si=KNxbkNnziDdh0l7V
Then it is Slaw, rather than Coldslaw.
mycatiskai@lemmy.oneto Science@beehaw.org•Fungal evolution discovered: Mycena can now invade living hosts0·2 years agoWell, a beaver dam helps the natural environment by creating water habitats for other creatures. Humans create chemicals that don’t break down forever, plastics that break down over centuries that include microplastics that are now in our bloodstreams and in in whales stomachs. Does any of that human stuff sound like it is natural?

We are never going to live peacefully with nature in a balance. Maybe nature needs to take us over and balance us out by itself.
mycatiskai@lemmy.oneto World News@lemmy.world•IDF reveals Hamas command posts in and beneath Gaza hospitalEnglish0·2 years agoSo do 999 people have to starve for 1 Hamas fighters or could there be a better solution or is the final solution the only viable one for the Palestinians?
mycatiskai@lemmy.oneto World News@lemmy.world•IDF reveals Hamas command posts in and beneath Gaza hospitalEnglish0·2 years ago~40k Hamas fighters in Gaza can’t hold the other 99.9% non combatants population hostage. This is an excuse to lump all Palestinians in with the Hamas fighters.
Flour was allowed in to feed the people then one of the only remaining bakeries in Gaza was bombed. What is that but an attempt to starve the people of Gaza. Again maybe 1 in 1000 people is Hamas so 999 people have to starve to cut off Hamas?
How about Westbank, where there is no Hamas. Why are they bombing Palestinians in the Westbank if this is all about Hamas and taking them out?

You know what would keep you from killing civilians?
A ceasefire.

The average age of Palestinians is 19. The average age of Israelis is 30. That tells you one thing, that you don’t live a long life if your Palestinian.

These two groups can’t stop fighting because of compounds that are sacred to both. Maybe you can take it away from both of them like children that can’t play nice with their toys, you take the toy away.
Blow this mosque up. Let them rebuild half of the property for Jewish, half for Muslim people or better yet build a community center aimed at joint Muslim Jewish peace.

Ha! I literally never thought of that until I read your comment. I always hoped in the end that it would grow some giant wings but I moved out to work in another city and didn’t have cable so I never saw the end of the show. I guess I could download it and find out.

What’s the difference between a truckload of bowling balls and a truckload of dead babies?
You can use a pitchfork on the babies.
