When I started producing a weekly #anarchist video podcast 20 years ago, I could count in one hand who the other anarcho video podcasters were (at least the ones I knew existed)
Today I'm so fuckin happy to find folks producing high quality video podcasts that not only empower peeps but make info accesible to a large audience without feeling preachy and dogmatic!!🙏👏
So while going through a YouTube wormhole of diy #meshcore solar repeater builds, I stumbled upon (well, the algorithm told me about...) @bennjordan
Benn's click bait video "Gadgets For People Who Don't Trust The Government" totally worked (and the thumbnail helped!) This geek porn clip masterfully embedded intro to anarchism bits interspersed the different gadgets Benn talked about. I wish many anarchist propagandists took a cue from Benn and started making media outside the anarchist ghetto.
You made it this far down my grumpy old man rant? Then share this clip with your nerdy cousin and save him from becoming just another far right troll.

Today, I learned that Mastodon is @timbl’s favorite replacement for Twitter, while reading his memoir, “This is for Everyone.”
This seemed worth sharing here. :)

In 2014, in Europe, there was much ado about 666.
That was the number of an EU law that required vacuum cleaners to use a maximum of 1,600 watts – and there was a lot of talk about the EU allegedly ‘’banning powerful vacuum cleaners!’’
What actually happened is that manufacturers had to get the same suction with less power. And they did. Because when aims are clear, engineers know what they’re doing.Replying to a post on bonfire.cafe
@Bonfire can I get an invite to bonfire.cafe to test out some things?
