The boom and maturation of the podcast-sphere has been really great for those of us that are ~sorta keen~ to read a particular non-fiction book, but not enough to actually do it. Much prefer hearing the author speak to primary thesis and some anecdotes than diving straight into

Everything about the attention economy incentivizes the worst outcomes.

I’m enjoying @jessywu95 live learning about how the Greens operate — throwing wrenches of minutiae in the gears of *any* progress
Two Greens councillors are asking fiddly questions about phasing, stages, and uplift. No idea what they're on about, sounded like a word salad to me. Don't know what their M/O is but I'm feeling sus
