Maryam and Sam.

2/28/2016

The other night, while I was walking the evil one, I listened to Sam Harris' conversation with Maryam Namazie on his Waking Up Podcast. I've embedded it below:

The conversation raised a pretty solid kerfuffle throughout Twitter. I found it quite hard to listen to, but by the time I was about half an hour in, I could barely wipe the smile off my face. It. Was. That. Bad. You can hear how the conversation was making me feel in this little video:

Made a video about progressive "discourse" and how mixing up discourses makes a big mess. https://t.co/fpIZrCvlcl

After writing and making that video, I don't want to write any more about it.

Talkin' the Canadian Federal Election on 4 Progress

A screengrab from CBC.ca. 8:11pm PST

A couple months ago, I pointed out that I'd accepted the invitation to join a YouTube collective called A Path for Progress. They have since changed their name to 4 Progress, but I haven't had the opportunity to take part in their discussions since the summer.

Last week, I voted in the advance polls.

Tonight, however, is a special combination. The Liberal Party of Canada appears to have won the federal election, and I spent some time talking about it with Kristian.

A few special tweets while I wait for our discussion to appear on the 4 Progress channel.

Months of "He's just not ready" and suddenly Canada's like, "oh, HE'S READY."

Getting a little political: My first APfP video.

I joined a group of politically-minded folks on YouTube called "A Path for Progress" (for now). I just uploaded my first topical, slow-talking video to their channel.

I also appear in a couple of their "Week in One Hour" segments.

I feel as if I'm the oldest, most slow-thinking person of the bunch. But no matter; it's a fun place to chat about politics.
