Episode Details

On this show, I play a song from Pillow Spiders; my child is driving to school solo; I am wistful; bees can't consent to give you honey; I am trying to face opposing opinions by asking "what of this can I agree with?"; clicking the link to Reddit is almost always a mistake; argumentative privilege is real; I will do boring work for your open source project but I will not argue for it; people who are comfortable arguing will get more of what they want; the 22nd anniversary of this podcast happened and was acknowledged but not celebrated; I am using CoMaps because Waze is good but also creepy surveillance capitalism; editing OpenStreetMaps is a thing; it makes sense to have a Discord - I have a discord - but when every show and project has one it is unwieldy; I hate YouTube clickbait thumbnails and titles so much that I think I hate YouTube.
