I just discovered this podcast by Nora Kenworthy and Marcus Harrison Green. If you've been interested in my AI reporting or AI in general, I really recommend giving this episode (from August) a listen.

Remember last week when 7 million of us took to the streets? Well, since then Donny destroyed the people's house and bought some private planes BUT we're not giving up! Today: organizer and artista Nadine Bloch helps us make revolution irresistible 🔥✊. Listen in! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

If you’re in a constant state of “Bari Weiss, CBS, Joe Rogan, WTF??” We’ve got you! @maggiemertens.bsky.social and Sarah Stuteville discuss building a sane news diet (follow people, not brands), supporting community-rooted media, and turning doom into doing. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

This week, it’s an episode full of dark times and dark humor bracketed by moments of joy. We talk with the awe-inducing @kashana.blacksky.app 🤩about debt, policing, and how humor is essential to collective resistance. It’s all in her new book The Payback. Tune in! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

Really wish we didn’t have to say this, but Renee Hopkins’ words for us last week about gun violence ring a whole lot more true today. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

This week on In The Meanwhile, Nora & I talk w/ Renée Hopkins of @WAGunResponsib about the grim “normal” of gun violence, and the rare good news: WA has passed real safety laws saving lives while DC stalls on “thoughts & prayers.”

As a parent (and uh, human being) gun violence can feel like one of the most intractable political issues in the US. But this fight is winnable, even under the current admin. This was such a beautiful, promising conversation. The public health approach to gun violence that Renee describes is 🎯🎯.

Beyond grateful to @guyoron.net @veganpattyy.bsky.social and the Real Change team!

If you, like us, felt unfettered rage at last week's news of the Minneapolis shooting, we've got you. Renee Hopkins of the Alliance for Gun Responsibility joins us to talk about how WA is defeating gun violence, one small, brave policy win at a time. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

This week on In The Meanwhile, Nora & I trace America’s collapsing systems + the oddball origin of our pod (zines, awkward poetry, a Town Hall that exposed GoFundMe as our “healthcare system”). open.spotify.com/episode/21tz...

This week, we take listeners on a bit of a history tour through America’s breaking safety systems, explain why crowdfunding can’t get us through their collapse, and look inside the podcast’s origins. The world is terrible but we’re not. Join us! 😉 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

Does anyone know what happened between May and August this year?

The first time I posted about this distinction was many months ago, it remains important, most "journalists" still refuse to make the distinction: Trump hasn't removed Lisa Cook, he's pretended to. He lacks the legal authority to fire a fed governor.

there should be criminal consequences for companies and executives releasing these products when they have such horrific consequences. we’ve evolved from “move fast and break things” to “move fast and kill people” and the tech billionaires could not care less.

Nora + I talk w/ Dr. Daudi Abe about America’s booming biz: ignorance. From slavery rebranded as “involuntary relocation” to PragerU in classrooms, we unpack how power weaponizes confusion. Funny. Terrifying. Necessary.

It's a back-to-school special from In The Meanwhile! In this episode, we talk to education, culture, and race scholar Daudi Abe about the weaponization of ignorance in the US, and what this means for educators, students, and ultimately, our democracy. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

@danmcquillan.bsky.social on technofascism. full episode here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/in-the-meanwhile/id1820256669?i=1000722062132

This conversation—and @danmcquillan.bsky.social’s work more broadly — is necessary for surviving this AI-infused timeline, particularly for those of us in academia. It has inspired me to organize faculty to resist AI at my institution, and I hope it does the same for you.

This week, a particularly timely conversation with the brilliant @danmcquillan.bsky.social: on the rise of technofascism, and what all of us can do to resist AI’s overreach. A necessary road map for rejecting the broligarchy and decomputing our way to liberation.🔥 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

Had the best time talking to Nora and Marcus! Give this a listen

We made it through another week of The Horrors! To celebrate, we've got a special surprise: none other than Francesca Fiorentini @franifio.bsky.social on this week's episode. She's helping us laugh at fascists, call out billionaires, and teach toddlers to curse 🤩 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

I got to talk with @inthemeanwhile.bsky.social — a new podcast from the fantastic @mhgreen3000.bsky.social and @kenworthy.bsky.social — about why how we talk about health care is literally a life and death matter.... podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

they're really fantastic over at @inthemeanwhile.bsky.social

@matthewcort.land on this week's episode with some hard truths and a really important call to action. full episode here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

Talked with @inthemeanwhile.bsky.social about living in a world in which the good guys don't understand the value of branding and the bad guys are really, really good at it

This was such a great conversation!! I am always, always grateful for @matthewcort.land's advocacy and wisdom, but particularly in times like these.

This week, we're joined by the incredible @matthewcort.land, who discusses the fallout of Trump's 'murder bill' and what it means for disabled/sick Americans. Matthew offers a moral call to arms, a policy masterclass, and reasons we all need to keep fighting. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

Okay hear me out, but university admins' a) enthusiasm for AI in higher ed and b) happy repression of speech critical of Israel are related in one specific way. Both impulses reveal their core belief that universities are for replicating old ideas, not generating new ones.

The amazing @gabrielteodros.bsky.social on why fighting oppression must be an everyday, intentional practice 🔥 share.descript.com/view/QD8gopr...

This is gorgeous, so clear so inspiring, so grounded in love. Highly recommend if your soul needs nourishing and your mind needs a reminder of solidarity here and now. A thousand thanks to Gabriel Teodros.

Host Nora on Gabriel Teodros - "if bell hooks and Tupac had a baby" I haven't finished listening to the episode yet, but Gabriel is always a must listen.

Friday has arrived with a banger of an episode! This week, Nora and Marcus talk to MC, educator, and organizer Gabriel Teodros about grief, art, & love in a burning world. It’s a convo on joy as resistance & solidarity you can dance to. Come for the rhythm, stay for the revolution.
