It's all aboard a forgotten kids cheezy train music album this week, while snarf is reminded not everyone dances around in a circle and the limburger lounge takes us to a place our hosts seem to have a hard time understanding.
David Moscrop invited Cory Doctorow and Yanis Varoufakis to a conversation. They discuss how the concentration of wealth and power and surveillance is made possible by the internet where someone like Elon Musk uses digital power to determine the outcome of an election, and then proceeds to dismantle democratic institutions.
Cory Doctorow is a Canadian-British blogger, journalist, science fiction author and activist. Doctorow had just announced that his most recent book: Picks And Shovels was going into distribution. Picks & Shovels is the origin story of the most powerful new tool for crime ever invented: the personal computer.
Yanis Varoufakis is an economist, former Finance Minister of Greece and author of Technofeudalism: What Killed Capitalism. Technofeudalism is the new power that is reshaping our lives and the world, and is the greatest current threat to our efforts to avert climate catastrophe — and to democracy itself.
Please go to YouTube and search for the one hour version of this rebellious and intriguing conversation. It’s on the Jacobin channel under the title: Picks And Shovels by Cory Doctorow, with Yanis Varoufakis

An implicit assumption within the structure of the American justice system is the notion that punishment is productive. Research shows, however, that locking people up does not address the underlying causes for most criminal behavior -- in fact it actually exacerbates the likelihood of reoffending. With 95% of incarcerated people expected to reenter our communities, it seems pretty clear that our punitive practices are decidedly unproductive. This week on Sea Change Radio, we welcome back to the show Scott Hechinger, a civil rights lawyer, former public defender, and the current Executive Director of the nonprofit advocacy group, Zealous. We talk about the set of informational films that his organization has recently produced, discuss the fight that lies ahead for immigrants, and look at the measures that are being taken by the current federal administration to push for more capital punishment.

Time to wake up, be a nation among nations; follow Mexico, a veteran of sharp encounters with Yankee power; throw Doug Ford's "Fortress AM-CAN" overboard and adopt a new course with our North American partner in courage, Mexico, and call it MEXI-CAN. Mexico is not a NATO predator, sweating to pay dues for imperialist aggression and is now making a Mexican car workers can afford. Take a lesson, Canada.
President Claudia Sheinbaum declares the people come first, especially the poor. Let us say the same in Canada.
The U.S. uses "aid" to subvert other countries and they say so openly. South Africa is now being targeted because they are beginning the long promised land reform and have taken Israel to the International Court of Justice for genocide and war crimess.
Kendrick Lamar was the cultural MVP of the Super Bowl, revealing to millions the other and real America, that Trump and company deny exists. Trump bullied and mocked Taylor Swift, but was silent about the great half-time show. He's afraid of Lamar.

In 1984, a vast quantity of methyl isocyanate gas was released from a pesticide factory in a densely populated area, leading to death, disability, reproductive damage and genetic malformations for the populus. The corporate owners have gotten off nearly scot free. Forty years later, the harms to both the public and the environment still mount, and the campaign for justice continues.
