Neoliberalism is often misunderstood, but it is very important to understand this ideology that has dominated global economics and politics for decades. Ben Norton discusses the history of the neoliberal "Washington consensus", and how it was imposed on the world.

Political economists Radhika Desai and Michael Hudson are joined by geopolitical analyst Pepe Escobar to discuss how the war hawks' drive to expand NATO into Asia to contain China may destroy the Western military alliance.

After watching Jake B’s video on Org Clock Tables and Irreal’s commentary on it, The Emacs Cat decided to share how he uses clock tables. His use is very idiosyncratic and fashioned for his specific circumstances. The TL;DR is that his employer not only requires a periodic report of time spent on various tasks but requires a very specific format for the report that must be delivered in MS Word.

Putting aside, for the moment, the indignity of having to use Word, the stumbling block to simply using the Clock Table output is that requirement for a specific format. All the necessary data is there but in the wrong format.

It turns out that Org has the org-clock-get-table-data function that gathers the data for the Clock Table report and delivers it as an easily parsable list. Part of his employer’s specific format is that dates must be of the form DD.MM.YYYY and the times must be zero padded on the left and have different lengths depending on the context. Once he had raw data, it was easy to format appropriately and produce the required report. That leaves only delivering it as a Word doc. Of course, once more Emacs has us covered and he simply exported his results as an ODT file.

The other nice thing is that he did his development right in his time tracking Org file using source blocks. He was able to experiment with various approaches and see the data that org-clock-get-table-data returned. It’s a really nice post and serves as a how-to for anyone who needs to produce custom time reports.

The US and France have threatened foreign intervention to re-install a pro-Western regime in Niger, which produces uranium needed for nuclear energy and hosts large US drone bases. This follows coups led by nationalist, anti-colonial military officers in neighboring Burkina Faso and Mali, which warn intervention could set off a regional war in West Africa.

Former Ukrainian government official and diplomat Andrii Telizhenko joins Aaron Maté to discuss how, in his view, powerful US figures including Joe Biden have used Ukraine for personal corruption and the geopolitical aim of bleeding Russia -- all to the detriment of Ukrainians. Telizhenko worked for the Ukrainian prosecutor general’s office in Kyiv before moving to Ukraine's US Embassy in 2015. He went on to work for Blue Star Strategies, a Democrat-run lobbying firm that represented Burisma, the Ukrainian gas company that appointed Biden’s son Hunter to a lucrative board seat. Telizhenko, who cooperated with Rudy Giuliani's effort to dig up information about the Bidens' alleged corruption in Ukraine, has been sanctioned by the US Treasury Department for "having directly or indirectly engaged in, sponsored, concealed, or otherwise been complicit in foreign influence in a United States election."

The popular 19th century fringe science of head-reading – mostly feeling bumps on the head – was mostly used by white, male practitioners. But it was also practised by people from the colonial margins. Alexandra Roginski has unearthed some colourful characters.

Our take on the Congressional UFO Hearing. Biden has a new dog that’s even more poorly behaved than the last one. DeSantis continues to hemorrhage staff, this time losing his brain trust of 20-something groypers. Trump expounds on his faith, and we discuss his many, many impending indictments. Finally, the return of Obama’s limousine superhead.

Is having a crush anti-feminist? Are Barbies blue-pilled? Is Ken the protagonist, actually? Is Legally Blonde a better Barbie movie than The Barbie Movie? Is it feminist to manipulate men? And what does it say about how the filmmakers feel about Barbie when the movie ends with Barbie, well, choosing what she chose? This one contains spoilers, but not ones that I think really change how you'll view the film. Leslie Lee III & Kate Willett join Briahna to break down the good, the bad, the Barbie.

Brian Cox and Robin Ince tackle one of the most important questions posed by science: which is better, bees or wasps? To defend bees, ecologist Dave Goulson joins the panel, while entomologist Seirian Sumner comes to the defence of wasps. Although both species are known to deliver a nasty sting, Seirian and Dave battle to show why their species should be loved, not swotted, and how we unknowingly rely on them. Comedian Catherine Bohart takes on the role of judge. Which will she ultimately choose: bees or wasps? New episodes are released on Saturdays.

“Something monstrous is taking shape in America,” warns journalist Jacob Siegel in an article at Tablet:

Formally, it exhibits the synergy of state and corporate power in service of a tribal zeal that is the hallmark of fascism… A state organized on the principle that it exists to protect the sovereign rights of individuals is being replaced by a digital leviathan that wields power through opaque algorithms and the manipulation of digital swarms.

America is ruled by a regime of censorship whose aim “is not to censor or to oppress, but to rule. That’s why the authorities can never be labeled as guilty of disinformation.” What is disinformation? It’s “whatever they say it is.” But, Siegel argues, “if the underlying philosophy of the war against disinformation can be expressed in a single claim, it is this: You cannot be trusted with your own mind.”

Since 2016, the US has pumped out Orwellian programs like the Countering Foreign Propaganda and Disinformation Act and Nina Jankowicz’s (Scary Poppins) Disinformation Governance Board, claiming that protecting citizens from state spying was jeopardizing national security. The US was losing “influence warfare.”

Make sure to watch the full Substack-only interview, in which Siegel weighs in on the Twitter Files, discusses the significance of Hunter Biden’s laptop story, and pushes back against the claim that they didn’t reveal any censorship.
