🎙️I have never had an ‘Asst3’ - and never received an email from one either
How about you?
🎛️ Kafka Talking With Professor Emily M. Bender
.. amongst others, but the clip is Bender talking.
It’s been a good series. Not down in the weeds - but neither a ‘duh’ podcast - of which there seem to be many.
The Full Podcast:
Rob Long is such a good story teller. Here he connects an outbreak of an ‘epidemic of vomit hurling’ in a kid’s school, making three bean salad at scale, the writers strike and the challenges for the broader entertainment industry - in just ten minutes.
🎛️ Bitcoin is Still The Future of Payments
🔗 Calling It Now: Elon Musk’s Micropayments Gambit Will Flop Big Time
🎙️Though Musk and Twitter aren’t specifically called out, it is clear that Lightspark’s David Marcus agrees - mainly because Micropayments can’t work while we continue to organize our payments as we do.

I have had three actions in ‘Things’ now for weeks. They were there to remind me to post a snippet from three podcasts that I wanted to share. The actual snipping and posting is not that …
🎙️The Japanese Toilet Paradigm is this week’s podcast from Rob Long. He’s always good, this week talking a little about renaming HBOMax to Max. He clearly didn’t think it a good idea.
He then moved on to offer advice to NBC should they be thinking about doing something similar.
I paraphrase …
It didn’t work for HBOMax - it definitely won’t work for Peacock.
🎙️Not yet finished the whole episode - but just stopping by to share this podcast link
Nilay Patel talking Eugen Rochko.
Interesting stuff. Maybe I listen to the wrong streams, but I have not heard Eugen talk before. He does seem to be someone who keeps his head down and focussed.
Gives me lots of confidence in Mastodon - not that I needed it.
