🎛️ About ’That’ Film

I wrote about it back in mid July. 🖇️ Smelt fishy then. Still smells fishy.

Kafka’s podcast goes ‘off piste’ - but well worth it as it explores what exactly was/is going on with the movie - that’s in part one. In part two - the ‘other side’.

🎛️ The Future Of Income

Over the years I have used different words, different ‘lenses’, different ‘glasses’, ‘filters’ - but it all comes down to this.

And too quickly I am told that ‘UBI’ is not the solution, to which I point out that I never said it was. Delighted to hear David Wood making exactly the same point. He goes on …

what is happening is not business as usual.

I agree.

🎛️ How will YOU be remembered?

I have been struggling with a newsletter recently. Unlike the podcast - it isn’t about suicide, but rather - how people are remembered after death. (If you know the movie Coco - it relates. If you think about tombstones - it relates.) The 30 second clip gets to the nub.

🎛️ UC Berkeley’s Hany Farid: “With AI, we’re making the same mistakes that we did with social media”

A good listen … if these 30 seconds don’t inspire you to listen to the rest … well … then don’t.

🎛️ 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.

🎛️ 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.

You should really listen to the whole thing, but this snippet particularly pertains to the MicroPayment comment above.

🎛️ Micropayments. Have their time finally come?

I don’t know - and I sure can’t tell from this podcast - but David Marcus sounds confident.

🎛️ Embrace The Future

The excerpt is not the main thrust of the podcast, but neatly summarizes the problem of rejecting, rather than embracing, what is clearly something that is part of the future.

🎛️ A couple of revised posts on the blog.

🖇️🎛️ Will Arnett doesn’t like the word content either.

🖇️🎛️ Why my term ‘English Progressive’ might make sense in musical genres.

Opening up a new category on the blog that I call ‘🖇️ snippets’.

More refinement might yet occur.

🎛️ English Progressive Redux

🔗 Andrew Hickey’s ‘500 Songs’ includes a good and interesting summary of why the UK and US musicians who ‘arrived’ in the 60s sounded so different, emerging, he argues, from significant social differences and country histories.

What do you think?

🎛️ That ‘Content’ word again.

You might have read my 🔗 many posts about ‘content’ .. and my singular objection to that word. Turns out I am not the only one. Will Arnett waxes lyrical about that exact issue on Smartless.
