Podcasts about molt

Lloret de Mar ha presentat una nova edició de la campanya “Som molt de Lloret”, una iniciativa impulsada per Turisme de Lloret que dona continuïtat a les campanyes desenvolupades durant els anys 2024 i 2025 sota el lema “Diguin el que diguin, som molt de Lloret”. La nova proposta manté l'essència de la marca de destinació i aposta per posar en valor els principals atractius turístics a través del sentiment de pertinença i del caràcter pioner del municipi. La campanya es presenta com una evolució natural del relat iniciat els darrers anys i vol reforçar el vincle emocional entre la ciutadania, el territori i els visitants. Amb un to proper, optimista i positiu, “Som molt de Lloret” reivindica l'orgull de ser de Lloret i projecta els valors que defineixen el municipi: una destinació oberta, acollidora i diversa, amb una llarga trajectòria vinculada al lideratge turístic. La iniciativa posa les persones al centre i les converteix en ambaixadores del municipi, mostrant el potencial paisatgístic, cultural, gastronòmic i de lleure de la destinació. La regidora de Turisme de l'Ajuntament de Lloret de Mar, Cristina Aymerich, assegura que “el missatge és molt clar: ‘diguin el que diguin, som molt de Lloret'”. Segons Aymerich, la campanya vol transmetre “aquest sentiment d'estima del nostre poble, que tothom se'l faci seu” i fomentar “el sentiment de pertinença, de cuidar i estimar tots els racons, barris, cultures i nacionalitats que trobem a Lloret”. Aymerich remarca també el paper central que tenen residents i visitants dins la campanya. “Volem enfocar aquesta mirada de convivència entre residents i turistes, perquè els turistes els necessitem”, afirma. En aquest sentit, recorda que “el turisme és la nostra indústria” i reivindica els atractius del municipi: “Lloret té comerç divers, bona restauració, hotels, càmpings, carrers plens de gent, terrasses, el camí de ronda, natura i muntanya; Lloret ho té tot”. La campanya es desplegarà a través de diferents canals de comunicació, com ràdio, televisió i formats digitals, amb l'objectiu d'amplificar el missatge i continuar posicionant Lloret de Mar com una destinació orgullosa de la seva identitat i preparada per afrontar els reptes de futur. Aquesta acció comunicativa també es complementa amb altres iniciatives municipals orientades a reforçar la cohesió social i el sentiment de pertinença. Entre elles, destaca la campanya antirumors “Som Totes de Lloret”, impulsada per combatre els discursos d'odi i posar en valor la diversitat com un dels grans actius del municipi. Cristia Aymerich Torna la campanya “Som molt de Lloret”, que reforça la identitat i el sentiment de pertinença 00:00

Són alumnes de l'assignatura de Tècniques d'Expressió de 2n de batxillerat i de Cultura Audiovisual de 1r de batxillerat de l'Escola Pia de Sitges i els autors de les fotografies que en el marc del Fotomaig s'exposen al pati de la Biblioteca Santiago Rusiñol. El punt de partida i d'inspiració era el mateix per a tots, l'exposició de Francesc Català-Roca titulada 'La Pell de Barcelona' i el resultat tot i ser una exposició coral ensenya una imatge de Sitges similar i reconeixible a partir de detalls que podem observar als carrers. N'hem parlat amb aquests alumnes, Joan, Noah, Lucas, Olivia, Lia, Mar, Carlos, Bruno i Pol. L'entrada ‘La pell de Sitges’ una exposició fotogràfica d’alumnes de batxillerat de l’Escola Pia que val molt la pena ha aparegut primer a Radio Maricel.

Notes Fer-se petons, que hi hagi un bar a cada cantonada, dir "ja quedarem" i no acabar quedant mai... Fent classes amb alguns de vosaltres ens hem adonat de coses que us sorprenen quan veniu aquí. Per nosaltres formen part del dia a dia, però potser no són tan normals. En aquest episodi en comentem unes quantes. Som-hi! Vine al Campus d'Estiu aquest juliol i practica el català amb nosaltres! Campus Complet: inclou les activitats de conversa, el dinar i les activitats culturals Campus Bàsic: inclou només les activitats de conversa i el dinar (es pot complementar amb algunes activitats culturals individuals) Transcripció interactiva i vocabulari Fes-te membre d'Easy Catalan i tindràs accés a l'ajuda de vocabulari, la transcripció interactiva i el bonus de cada episodi: easycatalan.org/membership Bonus La conversa segueix amb algunes cosetes més que poden sorprendre a més d'un de vosaltres. Transcripció Andreu: [0:15] Bon dia, Sílvia! Sílvia: [0:16] Bon dia, Andreu! Com estàs? Andreu: [0:18] Molt bé. Avui que gravem és el dia després de Sant Jordi i… bé, aquest any no hem fet res especial, no?, per Sant Jordi. No hem fet cap concurs ni cap cosa, però… Sílvia: [0:29] No hem fet res especial. Però ja hi ha moltes coses especials que hem fet, perquè vam fer un vídeo molt interessant, un any que vam anar al Sant Jordi a Barcelona, que ens va quedar molt bonic, la veritat. Andreu: [0:40] Sí, i vam tenir sort també el temps, perquè recordo quan estàvem gravant el final del vídeo, dient que el temps havia aguantat i just mentre jo estava dient això, va començar a ploure. Sílvia: [0:55] Però vam tenir el temps literal de posar-nos a sota del balcó més pròxim abans de que caigués un aiguat…Te'n recordes? Perquè va ser com un xàfec, de cop, es van mullar tots els llibres de les parades, vull dir, tothom va quedar xop… i va ser com: "Mira, doncs per nosaltres no ha anat tan malament el dia". Andreu: [1:19] No. I ahir no va ploure, però com a mínim aquí a Barcelona, el que sí que va passar és que hi havia molt de pol·len o aquestes volves que fan els plataners. Sílvia: [1:30] Ah, sí! És típic. Andreu: [1:31] I que piquen molt, piquen a la gola i als ulls, i n'hi havia moltíssimes. Sílvia: [1:35] Sí. A més, de plataners n'hi ha a totes les ciutats, vull dir… és un arbre que es posava molt, abans. Andreu: [1:41] Sí. Que sempre m'he preguntat: "Per què es diu plataner si no fa plàtans?" Sílvia: [1:45] No ho sé, noi. Andreu: [1:48] En fi, ja ho investigarem. I com vau celebrar vosaltres Sant Jordi? Vau fer alguna cosa especial? Sílvia: [1:54] No, nosaltres el vam… entre cometes, celebrar el diumenge anterior, perquè van fer una fireta molt petitona al poble i vam comprar llibres i flors i... sí, el vam celebrar el diumenge. I llavors ahir va ser un dia de feina normal i corrent. Però bé. Andreu: [2:13] Clar, és que és això, que Sant Jordi és un dia laborable, és un dia feiner. Sílvia: [2:17] Sí, sí, totalment. Andreu: [2:18] Jo em vaig escapar un moment a la tarda per anar a veure l'ambient i comprar un llibre i després altre cop a la feina. Sílvia: [2:26] Clar. És el que toca. Andreu: [2:27] Però bé, dèiem que aquest any no hem fet res especial amb la comunitat, no?, que altres anys hem fet algun concurs o alguna cosa, però la comunitat no ha estat pas parada, aquestes últimes setmanes. Hem fet unes quantes activitats presencials. Per exemple, vam anar a una sessió de micro obert a Les Cosines, no?, una sessió de stand-up, amb el Joe, de la comunitat. Un altre dia vam anar al bar del Tradicionàrius amb la Neia i el Chris a jugar a l'Scrabble en català. Una altra nit vam anar al cine amb la Gaïd, el Silvestre i el Sigurd, i fa poc, bé, el dia de Sant Jordi, o sigui, ahir, hi va haver uns quants membres de la comunitat que es van trobar per anar a la Manifestació per la Llengua que van fer a Barcelona. O sigui, el Mike, la Fairlie i el Sigurd. Sílvia: [3:17] Molt bé, molt bé. Ja veieu que és una comunitat activa, no només escrivint a Discord, sinó que també es queda presencialment. Andreu: [3:26] I encara hi ha una activitat presencial molt important i molt xula que estem preparant, que és el pròxim Campus d'Estiu. Sílvia: [3:33] És divertidíssim, de veritat. No és perquè ho organitzem nosaltres, és que és la veritat. Vull dir, jo m'ho passo pipa durant aquella setmana, coneixent les persones que venen al Campus, passant tantes estones plegats, explicant-nos vivències i històries de la nostra vida, coneixent-nos els uns als altres… i millorant, perquè és que, de veritat, és una passada veure com evoluciona el nivell de les persones des de que arriben el dilluns fins que s'acaba el Campus el diumenge. Andreu: [4:04] És veritat. El dilluns encara… aquell dia la gent encara està una mica tímida i no vol parlar, perquè clar, costa arrencar, però després acabem la setmana, que tots xerrant allà… Sílvia: [4:15] Sí, sí. A més a més, la gent ja no se'n vol anar. No? Que el diumenge dius: "Adeu, adeu!", però no, és com que ja no vols, no? Ja no vols deixar-los, sí. Andreu: [4:24] Sí, aquesta ja serà la quarta vegada que fem el Campus. Sílvia: [4:27] Sí. Andreu: [4:27] És fort, eh?, dir-ho. Sílvia: [4:28] És molt fort, Andreu. Andreu: [4:30] Per mi, ja és com un dels grans esdeveniments de l'any. Sílvia: [4:34] Sí, totalment. Andreu: [4:35] Vull dir, és aquella setmana que és a finals de juliol, ja està marcada, sé que està reservada aquella setmana per fer el Campus. Sílvia: [4:43] Sí, oi tant. Penseu que és del dia 20 al dia 26 de juliol, tota la setmana sencera. Si entreu a la pàgina web, que és campus.easycatalan.org, hi trobareu tota la informació amb totes les activitats que farem, perquè és que no només fem activitats de parlar, sinó que ens en anem a visitar llocs. Per exemple, aquest any anirem a Tarragona, o farem tallers, farem un taller de trencadís de ceràmica. I moltes altres coses. Teniu tot tot tot tot ben explicat allà. Andreu: [5:12] I un altre pòdcast en directe, a la llibreria Ona. Sílvia: [5:15] Ai, sí, un altre. A veure com anirà, Andreu. Andreu: [5:18] Home, esperem que bé. Sílvia: [5:19] Bé, bé. Andreu: [5:20] No, anirà superbé! Doncs això, si voleu participar al Campus d'Estiu aquest any, entreu a campus.easycatalan.org i allà veureu que hi ha dues modalitats. La modalitat de Campus Complet, que ho inclou absolutament tot: les activitats de conversa, el dinar i les visites o activitats de la tarda, i el Campus Bàsic, que només inclou les activitats de conversa i el dinar. I, per tant, amb aquesta opció tindríeu les tardes lliures per, si voleu... Sílvia: [5:50] Descansar una mica. Andreu: [5:51] Descansar, dormir, el que vulgueu. Doncs això, teniu també l'enllaç a la descripció de l'episodi.

L'Handbol Parets aconsegueix una victòria molt important contra el Lleida podcast recorded with enacast.com

Notes En aquest episodi entrevistem una membre de la comunitat que va venir a Catalunya "pel bon clima, el bon menjar i la bona ciència", en paraules seves. Ella és la Fairlie, una científica californiana que actualment treballa al Centre de Supercomputació de Barcelona. En aquest episodi ens explica la seva arribada a Catalunya, un descobriment important que ha fet el grup de recerca en què treballa i la seva expressió catalana preferida. Som-hi! Encara ets a temps d'unir-te al Club de Lectura! Transcripció interactiva i vocabulari Fes-te membre d'Easy Catalan i tindràs accés a l'ajuda de vocabulari, la transcripció interactiva i el bonus de cada episodi: easycatalan.org/membership L'expressió de la setmana "en un tres i no res" ('ràpidament', 'en un tancar i obrir d'ulls', 'en molt poc temps') Bonus La Fairlie ens explica com ho ha fet per aprendre el català i treure's el certificat de C1 en dos anys. Transcripció Andreu: [0:15] Bon dia a tothom! Ja sabeu que un cop al mes ens agrada portar un convidat perquè pugueu sentir altres veus de catalanoparlants nadius, però també de nous parlants com vosaltres, que poden compartir la seva experiència aprenent la llengua i servir d'inspiració o despertar complicitats. Ja sou uns quants els que heu passat per aquí: l'Ana, la Brianna, el Kevin, el Reece, la Simone i la Kerry, el Matthew, el Camo, la Valentina, el Raffaele, la Paola, el Kenny, l'Alex, el Randy, el Reuben, la Goccia, el Kirill... I segur que em deixo algú. A la majoria us hem conegut gràcies a la comunitat que tenim a Discord. Sé que de vegades ens fem pesats amb això i que no soc del tot objectiu per parlar-ne, però estic segur que no soc l'únic que pensa que és una comunitat molt maca, diversa i activa on hi ha un ambient acollidor i motivador. Aquí, amb la Sílvia i el Joan, hem explicat moltes vegades que Discord és una web i app on pots crear una comunitat, tenir-hi diferents canals de xat i també fer videotrucades. Però de tant en tant encara ens trobem persones que ens pregunten: "Què és això de Discord?" Així que avui voldria explicar-ho d'una altra manera, des de la meva perspectiva. Andreu: [1:35] Discord és la tercera aplicació que faig servir més al mòbil, després de YouTube i el navegador. És l'espai on cada dilluns faig una xerrada a les 6 de la tarda, em retrobo amb cares conegudes i la fem petar. És el lloc on de tant en tant el Silvestre ens envia àudios per desitjar-nos un bon dia i la Nicole ens escriu bons desitjos en dies assenyalats com Sant Jordi o per Nadal. Aquí mateix, a Discord, és on fem activitats com els reptes de 30 dies i el Club de Lectura, que és quan hi ha més activitat i tenim ocasió de coneixe'ns més entre tots. També és el lloc on cada dia envio el meu resultat del Wordle i poso un emoji d'aplaudiment als que l'han resolt en tres intents o menys. De fet, podríem dir que els que hi juguem som una subcomunitat dins de la mateixa comunitat. Andreu: [2:26] En fi, ja veieu que és una cosa que forma part del dia a dia de moltes persones i us en podria explicar moltes coses més, però això ja ho deixarem per a un altre dia. Ara que he dit això dels emojis, segur que molts entendreu de qui parlo si us dic que la convidada d'avui és aquella persona que sempre reacciona als missatges amb l'emoji del cor amb dues petites estrelles. Sabeu qui és? No? Una altra pista. És amant dels gats. Efectivament, la persona que tenim avui aquí és la Fairlie, una californiana que viu a Barcelona des de fa un parell d'anys i que des d'un bon principi va tenir clar que volia aprendre la llengua local i integrar-se en la societat catalana. En aquesta entrevista que vaig fer amb ella, la Fairlie ens parla de la seva arribada a Catalunya, de la seva feina com a científica al Centre de Supercomputació de Barcelona i del seu procés d'aprenentatge del català. Som-hi! Andreu: [3:31] Bon dia, Fairlie! Com estàs? Fairlie: [3:34] Hola! Molt bon dia, Andreu! Molt bé, i tu? Andreu: [3:37] Molt bé, també. Content que estiguis aquí al pòdcast. Benvinguda. Fairlie: [3:41] Sí, i (jo) també. Quina il·lusió ser aquí i poder parlar amb tu i tota la gent que escolti aquest pòdcast. Andreu: [3:49] Doncs, a veure, Fairlie, al desembre del 2024 tu et vas fer membre de la comunitat i vas escriure un breu missatge de presentació a Discord que deia així, deies: "Hola a tothom! Soc la Fairlie, soc de Califòrnia, però fa 10 mesos que visc a Barcelona. He fet dues classes de català i el que m'agradaria ara és millorar la meva habilitat de parlar perquè encara em fa una mica de vergonya". Ha canviat alguna cosa des d'aleshores? Creus que has guanyat confiança a l'hora de parlar en català?

76 anys després de la declaració del ministre d'exteriors francès, Robert Schuman, considerat l'embrió de la Unió Europea, el continent afronta en crisi permanent un futur incert. A les portes d'un nou Dia d'Europa, amb Joaquim Millan, d'Eurolocal, hem reflexionat sobre els motius de celebració -que a Sitges consistirà en dues convocatòries relacionades amb salut i benestar-, els perills exteriors o el model d'Europa vist per joves i grans. L'entrada Europa celebra el seu Dia molt lluny de la declaració Schuman ha aparegut primer a Radio Maricel.

Notes El dia a dia implica fer una sèrie de tasques fora de casa: anar a comprar, recollir un paquet, passar per la ferreteria, fer una gestió al banc, portar residus a la deixalleria... A l'episodi d'avui fem un repàs dels encàrrecs que hem fet últimament. Participa en la pròxima edició del nostre Club de Lectura aquest mes de maig! Llegirem la novel·la "Un grapat d'ametlles", d'Agnès Esquirol Calaf. Farem una videotrucada setmanal els dies 8, 15, 22 i 29 de maig a les 19 h (CEST). Bonus Comentem alguns encàrrecs que hem deixat de fer (o no) degut als canvis de la societat i els avenços de la tecnologia. Transcripció interactiva i vocabulari Fes-te membre d'Easy Catalan i tindràs accés a l'ajuda de vocabulari, la transcripció interactiva i el bonus de cada episodi: easycatalan.org/membership Transcripció Andreu: [0:15] Bon dia, Sílvia! Sílvia: [0:16] Bon dia, Andreu! Com anem? Andreu: [0:18] Bé, avui que gravem és divendres i la veritat és que estic una mica cansat, perquè aquesta setmana no he parat de fer coses. Suposo que tu tampoc. Sílvia: [0:26] No. Andreu: [0:27] Com ha anat la teva setmana? Sílvia: [0:29] Molt plena, la veritat. Sí. A més, a mi els dies em passen volant. Ja sé que sembla molt de iaia, però és així, o sigui… Andreu: [0:35] Ja, ja. Sí, sí. Sílvia: [0:37] És així. Andreu: [0:38] És la vida adulta! Sílvia: [0:41] Sí, és el que hi ha. Andreu: [0:42] Avui parlarem d'això, de coses de la vida adulta. Sílvia: [0:45] Però no us en aneu. Andreu: [0:46] No us en aneu. Sílvia: [0:47] Ho intentarem fer… Andreu: [0:49] Jo estic cansat, en part, perquè aquest dimarts vaig estar gravant un vídeo al carrer, aquí a Gràcia, amb l'Enric Bautista, que és un altre creador de contingut. I clar, normalment nosaltres gravem els vídeos en cap de setmana, no? Quedem el dissabte o el diumenge i gravem un vídeo, i sol ser un bon dia perquè hi ha menys trànsit, hi ha més gent al carrer, no?, llavors és fàcil trobar persones que es deixin entrevistar i no passen coses com les que van passar aquest dimarts, que és que hi havia molt soroll, no?, o sigui, furgonetes amunt i avall, persianes dels negocis que s'obrien… no ho sé, molt moviment, i era molt difícil gravar entrevistes amb normalitat, i vaig acabar tan cansat! Sílvia: [1:32] És que a més a més, quan es grava un vídeo al carrer, t'adones de tots els sorolls que hi han, vull dir, quan tu vas pel carrer, no… hi són, igualment, però no prestes tanta atenció. En canvi, quan estàs gravant un vídeo comencen a sonar les campanes, no sé qui toca el clàxon, l'altre apuja la persiana… Vull dir, tots els sorolls. Andreu: [1:53] Les obres que fan aquí, les obres allà… O sigui, és increïble. És increïble. Una ambulància… Sílvia: [2:00] Algú crida… Andreu: [2:01] Els gossos… Sílvia: [2:02] Tot, sí, sí. Andreu: [2:04] En fi, doncs vaig acabar mentalment esgotat. Però bé, a veure com sortirà el vídeo. Sílvia: [2:10] Segur que molt bé. Andreu: [2:11] Una altra cosa que volia comentar abans d'entrar en el tema del dia són uns comentaris que hem rebut a Spotify d'una oient que es diu Diana. Ens va escriure un comentari a l'episodi 202 i diu: "Hola, soc la Diana, soc romanesa i visc a Catalunya des de fa 8 anys. He après el català gràcies al vostre pòdcast". Sílvia: [2:30] Apa! Andreu: [2:30] Diu: "No sé per què vaig deixar d'escoltar-lo i ara torno a estar per aquí. Gràcies per la vostra feina". Sílvia: [2:37] Molt bé. Em sembla molt bé, perquè la veritat és que quan escoltes un pòdcast pot ser que hi tinguis com una continuïtat i de cop deixis d'escoltar-lo perquè la vida canvia, perquè tothom té situacions personals diferents. Llavors, que hagi tornat és una molt rebenvinguda, o com s'hagi de dir. Andreu: [2:55] Sí, bentornada. Sílvia: [2:56] Això, bentornada. Doncs sí, sí. Benvinguts tots aquells que ens heu deixat i heu tornat. Andreu: [3:00] I la Diana s'ha reenganxat al pòdcast del tot, no?, perquè ha deixat diversos comentaris. Només en llegiré un altre a l'episodi 183, titulat "Com canvia, la vida!" i diu: "Moltes gràcies per totes aquestes paraules boniques. M'heu fet plorar". Sílvia: [3:15] Apa! Andreu: [3:16] Diu: "Em falta molt poquet per començar una nova etapa de la meva vida. També tinc molta por. També és per això que estic escoltant el vostre pòdcast una altra vegada, perquè m'estic preparant per fer l'examen de català per a poder treballar en una guarderia". Sílvia: [3:30] Ah, molt bé! Si treballes en una llar d'infants, ja veuràs que també el temps et passarà volant, perquè tindràs molta feina. Però sí, sí, és això. La vida va canviant, tenim diferents etapes, diferents coses a la nostra vida i és normal que escoltis ara una cosa i després una altra. Andreu: [3:47] Doncs això. Moltes gràcies, Diana, per tornar a escoltar-nos i pels teus comentaris. I ara sí, parlarem de la vida adulta.

Han vingut més de vint persones a veure la nena. Andreu: [0:38] Vint persones? Sílvia: [0:39] Més de vint eren aquí. I la veritat és que ella s'ha portat com una campiona. No ha plorat, ha estat tranquil·la tota l'estona, tot bé… Crec que serà una senyora amfitriona. Andreu: [0:54] És que jo vaig al·lucinar, eh?, quan vaig venir a casa vostra, de com de bé que es… o sigui, es porta superbé! Sílvia: [1:00] Sí. Tothom diu: "Ai, és molt tranquil·la!", perquè clar, hi ha canalla que s'esvera molt, no? I jo ho puc entendre, perquè jo ja estava nerviosa amb vint persones, no entenc com ella no s'ha posat nerviosa, però per sort no només té els meus gens, també té els del Joan, que és molt tranquil, llavors suposo que hi juguen algun paper. Però bé, molt bé, ens han portat un regalet molt bonic que no esperàvem, que és un cavall. No sé si saps què et vull dir, com un cavall que es balanceja, com un balancí però amb cavall. I crec que li agradarà molt, encara és petitona, però quan s'aguanti ella a sobre crec que serà un regal molt xulo. Andreu: [1:36] Molt bé. Sílvia: [1:36] I molt contents de veure tota la gent amb (qui) caminava. Andreu: [1:40] Ah, és el grup aquell amb què feies marxa nòrdica. Sílvia: [1:43] Sí. M'han posat un objectiu i és que al setembre faran una caminada molt suau, molt tranquil·la, i espero que al setembre la pugui fer. Andreu: [1:53] Molt bé, que bé. Ah, doncs que guai, no?, rebre aquesta visita, tot i que (és) molta gent. [Sí.] Però bé, on els has ficat? Sílvia: [2:00] No, però bé. Andreu: [2:01] A dintre? Sílvia: [2:01] A fora, a fora, a fora. Feia bon temps, fa bon temps encara, llavors hem fet un pica-pica a fora. Andreu: [2:06] Molt bé. Sílvia: [2:07] Si no, no, a dintre no hi caben. Andreu: [2:10] Molt bé, molt bé. Un altre grup de vint persones serà el del Campus d'Estiu. Sílvia: [2:14] Sí, això també serà un repte... Andreu: [2:18] Perquè recordem que les inscripcions ja estan obertes i que oferim vint places. Per tant, si us fa il·lusió participar al Campus d'Estiu d'Easy Catalan, repetir o venir per primer cop, doncs no us despisteu, perquè són places limitades. Sílvia: [2:34] Exacte. Us heu d'apuntar a l'enllaç campus.easycatalan.org. Andreu: [2:39] I com funciona el procés d'inscripció? Sílvia: [2:41] Doncs és molt senzill. Quan entreu en aquesta pàgina web, veureu que hi ha dues modalitats diferents. Una és el Campus Bàsic i l'altra és el Campus Complet. Si compreu el Campus Complet, doncs vindreu a totes les activitats amb nosaltres, i si compreu el Bàsic, podeu escollir quines activitats voleu fer extras, a part del que inclou el Campus Bàsic. Un cop hagueu fet la inscripció, jo mateixa us enviaré un correu en què us diré que heu comprat el Campus i us demanaré quin dia us va bé de fer una videotrucada. En aquesta videotrucada parlarem una mica, us explicaré diferents informacions importants per quan vingueu pel Campus i també parlarem, a veure si teniu algun dubte, si teniu alguna pregunta i tot això.

Tema del dia En aquest episodi parlem de la pressió social que sovint reben les famílies amb nadons, sobretot quan es tracta de la lactància i de com alimentar-los. A partir de la seva experiència recent com a mare, la Sílvia comparteix reflexions molt sinceres sobre els consells i opinions no demanats, la idealització de la maternitat i la diferència entre el que es veu a les xarxes i la realitat. Perquè la vida real no és com la veiem a Instagram, sinó que sovint implica cansament, dubtes i moments difícils. La regla dels 5 segons: si has de donar una opinió a una persona i en els següents cinc segons aquella persona no pot canviar el que tu li estàs dient, no cal que l'hi diguis. Els pròxims cursos de català d'Easy Catalan comencen els dies 7 i 8 d'abril! Bonus Continuem la conversa sobre el fet de donar el pit davant d'altres persones. Fins a quin punt ho tenim normalitzat? Totes les mares ho viuen igual? Transcripció Andreu: [0:15] Bon dia, Sílvia! Sílvia: [0:17] Bon dia, Andreu! Com anem? Andreu: [0:19] Molt bé, ja és primavera! Sílvia: [0:20] Ja és primavera. A més, els ametllers han florit, que estan preciosos, tot comença a brotar… És aquell moment fantàstic per anar a fer passejadetes per la natura. Andreu: [0:30] No et sembla molt fort que ràpid que ha passat l'hivern? O sigui, a mi m'ha passat volant. T'ho juro. Sílvia: [0:36] A mi més. A mi més, però no ho dic, perquè de vegades semblo ja una iaia, no?, quan dius aquestes coses, llavors... Andreu: [0:43] Ah, bé, cap problema. Hauríem de trobar una traducció al català d'aquesta paraula castellana que és "viejoven", que és per dir una persona que és jove però amb actitud de persona gran, una mica, o amb comportaments. Sílvia: [0:56] Jo ho he sigut sempre. Andreu: [0:58] Jo també. Sílvia: [0:58] I molt a favor de tothom que sigui com jo, eh?, vull dir… Andreu: [1:01] Jo també. Avui he anat a comprar caramels de llimona i de menta. Sílvia: [1:06] Ah, perfecte. Sí, doncs… Andreu: [1:08] Ara, saps el típic que va al teatre i treu el caramelet a mitja funció? Sílvia: [1:15] No, eh? Sisplau, Andreu, això fot molt, eh? Entre aquest i el que li sona al mòbil i no té collons d'agafar-lo i quan l'agafa comença a cridar… Andreu: [1:25] Terrible. Fa una ràbia! És que fa una ràbia, això. Vull dir, mira que avisen. Sílvia: [1:29] Avui hem vingut ja una mica emprenyadets, eh? Veig que serà un dia complicat. Vinga. Andreu: [1:35] Sí. Bé, però abans d'entrar en el tema del dia, recordem que falta només una setmana perquè comenci el pròxim trimestre de català, dels cursos de català d'Easy Catalan. Aleshores, si algú de vosaltres que ens està escoltant té pensat fer algun curs properament o vol començar aviat a aprendre el català d'una manera més formal, amb un professor o professora que t'ajudi, doncs… aquest és el moment! Sílvia: [1:59] Oi tant, no espereu més, perquè les places volen, i el que heu de fer és entrar a classes.easycatalan.org, mirar totes les opcions d'horaris, preus, tot, tot, tot, tot, que està molt ben explicat, i contractar el que us vagi millor. Andreu: [2:13] Sí, allà també trobareu les presentacions o una breu descripció de cada professor i professora. Tenim la Valentina, el Francesc, la Cesca, la Meritxell, el Joan, jo i ara també la Sílvia! Sílvia: [2:25] Ueee! Jo. Andreu: [2:26] Sí, aquesta Sílvia, sí, no cap altra. Doncs sí, la Sílvia farà potser algun grup o classes particulars. Per tant, doncs, és possible que la tingueu com a professora. Sílvia: [2:39] Sigui qui sigui, el que sigui la professora o el professor que us toqui, ho farà estupendament. Andreu: [2:45] Exacte. Recordem, les classes comencen el 7 i 8 d'abril i teniu tota la informació a l'enllaç que ha dit la Sílvia, que és classes.easycatalan.org.

Tema del dia En aquest episodi us expliquem tot el que farem aquest any al Campus d'Estiu, que ja és la quarta edició! També resolem un dubte lingüístic que ens va enviar el Silvestre, membre de la comunitat. Som-hi! Vine a practicar el català durant una setmana del 20 al 26 de juliol! Nous cursos i grups de conversa a partir de l'abril Taller de llengua Per què quan demanem un cafè amb llet molt sovint ens porten un cafè amb gel, o al revés? En aquest taller de llengua compartim alguns consells pràctics i detallats per evitar aquesta confusió tan habitual. Vídeo d'Easy Catalan sobre com pronunciar la LL Bonus El Joan explica una activitat del Campus que no està oficialment inclosa en el programa. Transcripció Andreu: [0:15] Bon dia, Joan! Joan: [0:16] Bon dia, bon dia, Andreu. Com estàs? Andreu: [0:18] Molt bé. Com estàs d'humor, avui? Joan: [0:21] D'humor? Bé… Per què? Andreu: [0:24] No, és que la setmana passada vaig estar parlant… a les sessions de conversa que faig amb alguns alumnes, vam tractar el tema de l'humor i vam parlar de què ens fa posar de bon humor i de mal humor. I a mi, per exemple, em fa posar de mal humor… és a dir, estic de mal humor quan dormo malament. O quan dormo poc. Joan: [0:42] I qui no? Qui no? Andreu: [0:44] Oh, no, hi ha gent que no, hi ha gent que simplement està cansada, no?, si dorm malament o dorm poc, i ja està, però que no li afecta l'humor. Joan: [0:50] Home, però el cansament sempre afecta, no? Andreu: [0:54] No ho sé, però... Joan: [0:55] Bé, en realitat, tampoc tant, perquè, per exemple, jo avui al matí he anat a caminar amb la meva filla durant una horeta, ella… o sigui, tinc com una motxilla, i he fet exercici una mica, com si diguéssim, i estic cansat, però estic de bon humor perquè he fet exercici, no? Com aquesta mena d'energia que et dona. Andreu: [1:12] Clar, per mi això són coses molt diferents. Estar cansat perquè has fet exercici i et notes el cos com que l'has exercitat i també és una sensació de satisfacció, però estar cansat perquè has dormit malament, a mi això sí que m'afecta i realment estic de mal humor, eh?, quan no dormo bé. No sé si és un tema de l'edat, que em vaig fent gran i... Joan: [1:35] Jo ho noto molt, eh? L'esquena, mare meva… No, però a mi el que em molesta, bé, em molesta, el que m'afecta l'humor és el clima, el temps. Si fa un dia ennuvolat o així més fosc, ho noto moltíssim, o sigui, la llum del sol, no sé… no t'anima? Andreu: [1:53] Home, sí, això passa molt, que potser no ho notes, que estàs com d'un humor així més… més apagat, però de cop et toca el sol i dius: "Hosti, la felicitat!" Joan: [2:06] Sempre que no sigui un sol de juliol, eh? Que m'estic imaginant un sol d'hivern o de primavera. Andreu: [2:11] O d'agost a Lleida, que et cremes. Allò és un sol abrasador. I parlant d'això, amb un alumne, el Sandro, em va dir: "Doncs sí, a mi m'agrada molt escoltar el pòdcast, perquè sempre esteu de bon humor, sempre rieu i això". I dic: "Clar, però això potser és una idea una mica equivocada de com som nosaltres", perquè quan ens posem davant del micro o davant la càmera fem un esforç potser extra per això, no?, per ser més… potser més divertits o no ho sé. Joan: [2:43] Jo no faig cap esforç, eh?, o sigui, a mi… clar, tu i jo en realitat no parlem gaire. Vull dir, parlem… ens escrivim però parlem poc. I a mi, doncs ara parlar mitja horeta m'alegra el dia, saps? No ho sé. Andreu: [2:57] Ja… Sí, és veritat. No ho sé, jo sí que hi poso de la meva part, doncs, per intentar… perquè jo normalment tinc com… no sé com dir-ho, el meu nivell d'energia és com molt baix. Joan: [3:09] És baix. Andreu: [3:09] Soc una persona molt tranquil·la. No? Soc molt tranquil, parlo a un ritme lent, pausat, i llavors quan faig el pòdcast, clar, no vull que la gent s'adormi, llavors, sí que intento… intento posar una mica més d'energia, no? Joan: [3:25] Sí. Jo quan edito el pòdcast escurço silencis… perquè hi hagi més ritme. Que parlant d'això d'editar el pòdcast, l'altre dia estava editant el pòdcast de… aquest de la llengua materna que vau fer amb la Sílvia, i ho vau agafar com una cosa molt… no sé, com molt de professionals, no?, de lingüistes que sou vosaltres, i no vau parlar dels sentiments. Perquè al final la llengua materna també va molt lligada als sentiments… Vull dir que s'han fet guerres, eh?, per llengües.

After we panned the first Ghost Rider movie last week The Rider Strikes Back and is actually kind of better? This time Johnny Blaze is hanging out in Europe for some reason when he’s contacted by Stringer Bell and adventure rides again. Is this Molt’z new favorite movie after Thor: The Dark World? Read along to find out! Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

The boys' adventure through Shonen Jump's offerings continue. We manage to drum up quite a bit of excitement for the ending of The Emperor and I, and Sakamoto Days continues to delight and baffle. In between all the non-sequitors, there's some good discussion to be had here.

Tema del dia En aquest episodi, resolem dubtes habituals sobre el català, com la diferència entre "escoltar" i "sentir" i entre "llengua" i "idioma". També reflexionem sobre conceptes com "llengua materna", "llengua habitual" o "llengua addicional", amb exemples quotidians i una conversa amena que comença parlant… de calçotades. Som-hi! Apunta't a un dels nostres cursos de català. Comencen els dies 7 i 8 d'abril! Vídeo de la calçotada a la terrassa del Kevin Vídeo d'Easy Catalan sobre la ciutat de Valls Bonus La Sílvia i l'Andreu mantenen una conversa en castellà, perquè els oients puguin valorar si són bilingües "equilibrats" o no. Transcripció Andreu: [0:15] Bon dia, Sílvia! Sílvia: [0:16] Bon dia, Andreu! Com anem? Andreu: [0:18] Molt bé. Molt content, perquè és època de calçotades. Sílvia: [0:22] Ah, i a tu t'encanta. Andreu: [0:23] Sí. És que… sí. Realment és una de les coses bones d'aquesta època de l'any, de l'hivern. Jo no soc gaire de l'hivern. No sé tu si... Sílvia: [0:32] Sí, jo molt més que de l'estiu. Andreu: [0:34] Sí? Hosti… Sílvia: [0:35] Molt més que de l'estiu, sí, sí. Andreu: [0:37] A veure, jo, fan de l'estiu, no, tampoc, perquè la calor infernal que fa a l'estiu, i més aquí a Barcelona, que estem anxovats... Sílvia: [0:44] Fatal. Andreu: [0:44] No, no, és fatal. Però la primavera i la tardor, doncs sí, molt millor. Però clar, l'hivern té les calçotades, no?, que comencen... realment, la temporada comença a finals de desembre, però jo crec que tothom comença a fer-ne com al gener, finals de gener. Sílvia: [1:00] A principis d'any, sí. Andreu: [1:02] Sí. I això, jo ja he fet una calçotada i en tinc dos més de programades. Sílvia: [1:06] Molt bé, molt bé, Andreu, veig que el calendari el tens ple, ja. Andreu: [1:09] Sí, sí, sí. Per mi, entre dos i tres calçotades l'any està bé. Com a mínim una i més de tres ja potser són massa, perquè a veure, també cal dir que els calçots són una mica indigestos, perquè a veure, són cebes, al final, no?, i la ceba, doncs, té conseqüències... I sí, per això, que dos, tres calçotades a l'any està bé. Per cert, parlant de calçotades, ja sabem, perquè en vam parlar fa temps, que a tu no t'agraden els calçots, no en menges. Sílvia: [1:38] No. Podeu veure el vídeo que vam fer sobre les calçotades, que ho dic obertament. Andreu: [1:46] Sí, el deixarem enllaçat a la descripció, si algú no l'ha vist. Però a casa vostra feu calçotades? És a dir, els teus pares, la teva família, en mengen? Sílvia: [1:55] Sí, sí. Tothom en menja, tothom en menja, i fem… a més a més, la salsa dels calçots no només la fem pels calçots. Vull dir que durant l'any de vegades fem salsa de calçots i la barregem amb la patata i mongeta. Andreu: [2:09] Ah, mira! Sílvia: [2:10] És que... Andreu: [2:12] Clar! Sílvia: [2:12] És que és bona. Llavors, per què només fer-ho amb els calçots, no? Andreu: [2:17] Saps que m'acabes de fer petar el cap? O sigui... Sílvia: [2:21] No se t'havia acudit, no? Andreu: [2:23] No. Sílvia: [2:25] Clar, és que t'acabo d'obrir un munt de possibilitats. Sí, sí. Andreu: [2:28] Clar, clar, clar. És que, de fet, a veure, no ens enganyem, els calçots són bons per la salsa. Vull dir, la gràcia dels calçots és la salsa, igual que la gràcia dels caragols és l'allioli. Sílvia: [2:40] Sí. Doncs ja està. No cal dir res més.

Moltóirí i gClár na gComhlachtaí in Óstán Ghobnatan ag caint le Edel Ní Loibhéad.

Tema del dia En Kirill va decidir fugir de Rússia, el seu país natal, per motiu de la situació política i la guerra amb Ucraïna. Amb poc temps per decidir on se n'aniria a viure, al final va optar per venir a Catalunya, on resideix des de finals de 2022. Des d'aleshores, ha dedicat molt temps i esforços a aprendre el català i el castellà, i l'experiència d'aprendre llengües li ha agradat tant que fins i tot ha creat una app! En aquest episodi descobrim una mica la seva història i el seu procés d'aprenentatge del català. Som-hi! Inscripció oberta als pròxims cursos d'Easy Catalan Trobades de Parlem Català al WIP "La màgia del català", text escrit per en Kirill a principis del 2025 Perfil d'Instagram d'en Kirill Easy Catalan recomana Wordbox: Una app on guardar les paraules i expressions que aprens i interactuar-hi de diverses maneres per aprendre-les d'una manera més efectiva, còmoda i motivadora. L'expressió de la setmana "el carbassot fa el que pot": Es diu per justificar que ho fem tan bé com podem, donades les circumstàncies i les possibilitats. Bonus En Kirill comparteix una reflexió personal sobre la qüestió dels elogis i afalagaments que rep sovint quan la gent el sent parlar català. Transcripció Andreu: [0:15] Bon dia i bentornats al pòdcast d'Easy Catalan! La setmana passada volíem publicar una entrevista, però vam haver de posposar-la perquè al final vam fer l'episodi especial per celebrar el premi que hem guanyat gràcies a vosaltres, cal recordar-ho. Així que avui no tenim aquí ni el Joan ni la Sílvia, sinó una persona que vaig conèixer ara fa uns mesos en una trobada de Parlem Català, un esdeveniment per practicar el català al bell mig del Poblenou, que és un dels barris de la ciutat on cada vegada se sent més l'anglès i menys el català i el castellà. Aquestes trobades es fan ara un cop al mes i tenen lloc en un espai de coworking anomenat WIP. Teniu la referència a la descripció. I aquesta persona de qui us parlo es diu Kirill, viu a Catalunya des de fa uns pocs anys i en aquest temps no només s'ha esforçat moltíssim per aprendre el català i el castellà, sinó que també ha creat una aplicació molt innovadora per a aprendre llengües. Tot seguit sentirem el Kirill i la seva història, però abans deixeu-me anunciar que ja hem obert les inscripcions als pròxims cursos d'Easy Catalan. Oferim cursos de diferents nivells i també grups de conversa. Tant en un format com en l'altre, es tracta de 24 sessions de 60 minuts, dos hores a la setmana, que poden ser en dilluns i dimecres, o dimarts i dijous, depèn del grup. Si no sabeu exactament a quin nivell us heu d'apuntar, no patiu, feu la inscripció al nivell que vosaltres creieu i llavors nosaltres us escriurem un correu per fer una breu videotrucada, en la qual resoldrem possibles dubtes i acabarem de decidir si el nivell al qual us heu apuntat és el correcte. Els cursos comencen els dies 7 i 8 d'abril i tota la informació sobre horaris, preus i professors la trobareu a classes.easycatalan.org. Andreu: [2:10] Bon dia, Kirill! Kirill: [2:12] Bon dia, Andreu! Andreu: [2:13] Com va, això? Kirill: [2:14] Molt bé, gràcies per convidar-me. He de dir que és absolutament surrealista, aquesta experiència, perquè normalment aprenc escoltant el vostre pòdcast. I ara passa al revés, és molt estrany. Andreu: [2:32] Bé, però serà una conversa normal, com la que hem tingut altres vegades. Per a més context per als oients, amb tu ens vam conèixer en una trobada per parlar el català al Poblenou, unes trobades que organitza el Lucas, membre de la comunitat. I bé, i després d'aquella trobada vam continuar parlant, vaig descobrir una mica la teva història i vaig decidir, doncs, convidar-te aquí al pòdcast perquè la comparteixis, perquè crec que tens moltes coses per explicar en relació amb l'aprenentatge de llengües en general i del català en particular. Aleshores, just fa una estona, abans de començar a gravar aquest episodi, m'has enviat un enllaç d'una entrada de blog o… sí, d'un text que vas escriure ara fa un any, que de fet aquest mateix text ja podria ser tot un episodi de pòdcast. He estat temptat de dir-te: "Per què no el llegim, directament?", perquè hi fas tota una sèrie de reflexions i expliques moltes anècdotes que m'han semblat molt interessants. Llavors, si et sembla bé, en llegiré només un paràgraf i a partir d'aquí, doncs, anem comentant la resta, no? Kirill: [3:35] Som-hi, endavant.

When your property management business isn't growing, hiring a salesperson might seem like the obvious solution, but what if that's actually where most owners go wrong… In this episode of the #DoorGrowShow, property management growth experts Jason and Sarah Hull break down why most BDM hires fail, the critical mistakes owners make with commission-only roles, and the exact systems required to make a salesperson successful. They dive into DoorGrow's Three Fits framework, the three non-negotiable ingredients for BDM success, and tease a game-changing new growth model designed to help property managers scale without burnout, bad leads, or broken systems.   You'll Learn (00:00) Introduction: The Three Fits for Hiring (01:16) The Challenges of Hiring a Business Development Manager (BDM)  (02:42) The Three Key Ingredients for BDM Success  (04:40)  Mistakes in BDM Compensation: The Commission-Only Pitfall  (05:40) The Three Roles of a BDM and the Problem with Buying Leads  (09:54) The "Door Machine" Teaser: The Easy Button for Growth  (14:39) Advanced Community, AI, and Final Thoughts  Quotables "A BDM has zero chance of success if you hire the wrong person."  "If they're not all three, they will fail.

All right, we are Jason and Sarah Hull, the owners of DoorGrow, the world's leading and most comprehensive coaching and consulting firm for long-term residential property management entrepreneurs. For over a decade and a half, we have brought innovative strategies and optimization to the property management industry. At DoorGrow, we are on a mission to transform property management business owners and their businesses.   We want to transform the industry, eliminate the BS, build awareness, change perception, expand the market, and help the best property management entrepreneurs win. Now, let's get into the show. All right, you can probably hear our dogs losing their mind in the background. Maybe not. It was perfect time. Yeah, great time. You started the episode and then they decided. And then they started barking. Well, somebody's outside. That's why they're barking. Okay, they're protecting the house. All right, so what we wanted to talk today about is protecting you a little bit. And so.   One of things that's been going viral lately all over social media is this Molt book. So if you haven't heard of Molt book, it is a social network, supposedly. It's a social network created by AI bots. It's basically just only people that have access to it supposedly are AI agents and they go in there and they're talking about their humans. And this is this new AI tool that was originally called Claude, spelled like a claw, which is not the Claude.   by anthropic, ⁓ but it's different Claude bot. And then they got sued by Claude for name infringement or confusion. And they changed their name to something else and then to something else. And now it's called open clock. But basically there are these, it's like an AI tool that you can build or put on your computer and it runs locally and it proactively tries to do things for you.   There's a lot of security risks with this AI tool because it has access to all your stuff and it can figure things out and start to buy things for you and like do things for you. And so ⁓ it has access to all your stuff. And so you got to be careful with this. However, there's been a lot of false hype and fear mongering around multbooks. So we wanted to chat about this. And so if you've seen these scary posts about multbook, this AI social network, here's what's actually going on. So   what this social media network is. you been seeing posts? Have you heard about this? Only from you. I don't follow any of that stuff, you sent me a post that was talking about all of these AI things, I guess, and the chat room that they created, and they were talking to each other and interacting with each other and asking each other questions and kind of talking about their humans, human...   users, I guess, so to speak. And I went, yeah, I don't know if I'm believing all of that hype. So I had asked chat, Chippy Tea about it. And it essentially said, no, AIs do not work on their own. They are human prompted. They are user prompted. So if there is such a thing, it might exist.   but it's not something that the AIs are just going and creating their own little community and having discussions as humans would have their.   So let's about the hype. So their mold book is claiming and bragging that they have 1.2 million agents registered, but only 10,000 verified humans using the tool or something like this. And we know like at least a million of those agent accounts came from one guy. He ran a script, he posted about it on X on Twitter. And he said, FYI, this isn't what everybody's claiming it to be.   The MoteBook has a REST API. Anybody can literally post anything they want using that API. So if anybody knows how to use any AI tool now to create any sort of code or software, like using Cloud Code or even Cloud, you can create software in pretty much anything now that has access to this API that can go post there. And so it's not, are there agents posting there? Yes, there are some agents, but some of the articles on there are probably created by,   nerds that think it's funny to create posts that say my user is cap. People are capturing things with screenshots or my, my, my owner is like telling me to do unethical things. And so it's hard to know what, which of any of this stuff is true, but definitely the stats are not true. When this guy sent a million verified accounts he created to the founder of Moldbook who's a human and   said, are these accounts, like here's this security flaw you have, this really isn't legit, but I don't think they care. I think they like the hype, they're getting business from the hype. And so this points out a bigger problem. And the bigger problem is with the advent of AI and with all of the AI slop, as people are calling it, you have to now verify things. People are using AI to create content, to beat the algorithms and to manipulate humans. And so   A lot of posts that you see, a lot of news article posts on Instagram, they're fake. It's sensationalized, it's you AI slop BS, and it they make these sensational claims because sensationalism gets people to go, wow, I can't believe this. This is so noteworthy and newsworthy. I'm going to share it with other people and people aren't verifying this. So these things go viral and it's giving that account.   clout and attention and algorithm and they can use that to make money and they're just manipulating people. And so this is this bigger problem that now things being shared on social media that are going viral are just being engineered algorithmically based on sensationalism, not based on truth. And a lot of them are just complete lies or complete fabrications and algorithms are rewarding fear, they're rewarding outrage instead of truth.   And so a lot of things that you're out or noticing or things that are manipulating you, it's not even true. It's not even valid. And you're in this, get caught up in this echo chamber politically or algorithmically that really is just messing with you and playing with your emotionalism that you have hardwired into it because you're human. So I think it's really important to start to not.   that you have to really question and disbelieve almost everything you see and then verify it or validate it. And this shows up in a lot of ways. Like we were talking about ⁓ all the products that we see for sale on Instagram. That you see. You get targeted. I love the buy stuff. Yeah. I know. It works really well. I like buying gadgets and gizmos aplenty. You know, I'm like the little mermaid. All right. So.   So all of these things, though, if you go take whatever product or item you see on Instagram, you're like, man, that sounds really cool. It sounds like something I would love. I would need that algorithm already knows it knows you. knows everything you slow down on and look at. It knows everything you click on to check out. So it knows you what you'll you'll buy before you know you'll buy it. And it feeds the stuff up to you and it'll feed it over to you or retarget you over and over again until you actually buy the thing. Here's the thing.   a lot of these products that you see, if you go look up the same product up on like amazon.com, you'll find the same product with a different brand name, because they're using maybe the same source in China to like, and then they're white labeling it with their brand name, but you'll find the same product for 50%, sometimes 25 % of the costs that you're seeing. So they're just taking products that are doing well on Amazon. They go and   like find us the source of this product. And then they go do really good marketing and advertising to manipulate people, sell it on Instagram or meta ads, and they are selling it at this insane markup. People think they've got the exclusivity and they're the only way you can get this product. And they're selling it for three times the amount or at least double the amount of what you would pay normally.   And if you go and got it from the source, like through Alibaba.com or something like this, you probably pay a small fraction of that. And so people are overspending on this and they're manipulating you to spend more money. So just another example of how you need to go verify or find these things maybe elsewhere. And so you need to do your own research is the basic idea. And so.   ⁓ Some of the things that I have started to do is I use AI to research the things that I'm finding online to find out if they're true. So this could be health claims, product claims, product ideas. ⁓ If a product looks good, I will go send it to Grok, one of my favorite research AIs, because it's really good at doing really good research quickly. You can use perplexity to do research, but I'll say analyze this.   landing page, this product, is this hype or is this a legitimate product? Do research on this. And a lot of times we'll come back and say, this is overhyped. Their product claims are not valid. It's based on studies that indicate certain things, but it's not totally true. But every now and then it's like, this product sounds legit. And then I'm like, well, do I really need this product? And then sometimes it's like, no. Right. And so you can go now leverage AI and you need to use AI to battle with AI so that you can   not being manipulated or taken advantage of. So you need to do your own research. Analyze the truth of this. Go ask AI to analyze the truth and give it a link. ⁓ Grok can access Instagram and Facebook posts and things like this. It can access social media currently. ⁓ Claude, ChatGPT, some of these tools are not able to access certain links because they're blocked by those social media platforms. They don't want other AI tools looking at it.   So far, I've had success using Grok to analyze Instagram posts, Instagram videos. So if you see something on Instagram real or a post, you can go post it to Grok and it can analyze the truth of it, which is super helpful. Not only that, but Grok has access to the entire X or Twitter database to do research and to find people, what they're saying and stuff like this, which I've found to be very helpful. Now we all have an internal compass and I think this is the most important thing of all.   is you have to use your own brain and use that voice within. think one thing that makes us different than just AI is we have this intuition or this knowing or this higher faculty of just our mental capacity and we have this ability, or some would call it spiritual gift of intuition or of natural knowing or of, what would others call it? ⁓ The voice deep down within, sometimes deep.   how I know this thing deep down, but it or some would call it the gift of discernment. You know, it's kind of a biblical gift of the spirit it talks about. Some would call it the Holy Ghost or the Holy Spirit or whatever. But we have this quiet voice deep down that tells you that something doesn't feel right when everybody else is sharing it or. And so, you know, start to get in tune with that, start to listen to that and to get clarity on that, because not everything that's sensationalized is true.   and you need to trust that little voice within because you might go, this sounds like pretty incredible. Is this valid? Before you go share it and pass it on to other people, which is like spreading a virus, you know, it may not be a positive thing to spread this thing that's not accurate or true. So that's my two cents about this. so with this, the Malt book is an example of.   something that's going viral that everybody seems to just be believing and it's not totally valid. So. OK, let's connect this to property management. OK, so that it's relevant for anyone who's going, how are they? How are they going to link this? So one of the things that I had heard recently, there's well, one of them I heard a couple of months ago and one of them I just heard. There's two examples that I can cite. That connects it directly to business. One was.   I don't remember where they were located, so forgive me for that. Do your research. One of them, they wanted to see if they could use AI and all of the tools that are available, Google and SEO and the algorithm, to hype up something that isn't real. So what they did is they created a restaurant.   using they did have some photos. They took a couple of photos. The food wasn't even real. I remember this. Do remember this? They were taking photos of food and people eating the food and wow it looks so amazing. It wasn't even real food. Yeah. And they used all of these photos and then somehow used bots and AI to leave a bunch of great reviews.   for this amazing restaurant. And then the algorithm and Google started getting all of this data going, wow, people must love this restaurant. We should promote it. So showing up in searches and they had a wait list for a restaurant that did not ever, at any point in time, ever exist.   No real restaurant, no real location, no real food, no real people, no real business, and no real reviews. All of it was completely fake online. However, the algorithm did not know that it was fake. The algorithm thought, wow, this is a real business and people love it, so let's recommend it to other real people. So real people are getting recommendations from   the algorithm, hey, you might like this restaurant. And then real people are going, oh, I wanna go to this restaurant, this looks amazing, look at all the incredible reviews. And it's fake. And you can't even go there. That's example number one. Oh yeah, look at that. It's a bleach tablet. So let me share this. So you can look this up. You can just Google like fake restaurant or something like this. The article that came up was on vice.com but.   ⁓ I made my shed the top rated restaurant on TripAdvisor. So what he had, he works for Vice now, I guess, but before he started working for vice.com, he had a job where restaurant owners were paying him 10 pounds, 10 British pounds ⁓ to write a positive review of their restaurant on TripAdvisor, despite never having eaten there. So was like, this is like fake. And so he became obsessed with monitoring the ratings of these businesses and their fortunes would generally turn and   This was a catalyst. then he was like, TripAdvisor is this false reality, he thought. And so these meals never took place. The reviews were written by fake people like him. And so he was like, well, maybe I could just create a completely fake restaurant. He just decided to try it out. And so he took his shed, his shed in the backyard, and he built, made it the number one restaurant. And he called it the Shed at Dulwich.   and ⁓ created this cool name and this was back in 2017. And ⁓ he got a burner phone, he created a phone number, built a website, bought a domain, and then he created some images that looked like delicacies. And what he used to create the images was ⁓ runny honey, ground black pepper, and Gillette shaving cream, and bleach tablets, and just made these photos that look   kind of like food. See, Nevada actually looks pretty good. Right. And yeah, it's just got coffee beans. Like he just he made shaving cream, bleach tablet, cup of coffee beans on top with ⁓ with paint. Brown gloss paint. Yeah, that's supposed to be chocolate syrup. He just made fake images and.   It's so ridiculous. So then he went and then he started creating reviews and getting reviews and then having photos from people. ⁓ Like he just climbed the ranks and then he actually started opening it up for reservations and started getting reservations for this. And then a bunch of people came and actually, and then he used like other companies to make the food.   and brought it in and then fed it with the food and because their perception was this was a high end thing and a kind of a secret thing and it's hard to get into, people were like, this food's amazing. then they were giving him even better reviews about it and the food was just taken from other places that he had like kind of brought in. And so it got really, it was just super ridiculous. And so ⁓ he built this whole thing out.   So that's that story. What was the other story you wanted to other one is what I just heard. I'm still struggling to understand what the flaw is here. don't know why this is illegal. Maybe someone can help me. ⁓ I don't remember what platform they used, ⁓ but a guy somewhere in the US used a lot of AI agents to create music. Real music.   Yeah. But it was created by AI, not humans. And then what he did is he took the music and posted it to a platform. Now, I don't know if it was something like Spotify or Apple Music or whatever it is, but he used a platform, a similar platform. And instead of waiting for people,   to hear the music and like the music and for it to grow. He went, huh, how can I speed this up? So what he did then is he created a bunch of AI bots to go and listen to the music that his other AI bots had created. That's where it's illegal. Because people play for licensing. rankings and listen to the songs and the albums 24 hours a day on repeat.   multiple, multiple, multiple bots. So all of a sudden there's this fake music. Well, it's not even fake. It's real music. It's just created by AI. And then AI bots are listening to that music, which is pushing the rankings. Fake news or listenings, yes. Well, I mean, they're just bots. They're just not human listens. They're listens, right? But just AI's done. And these platforms pay you.   for each listen. Spotify, Apple Music, paid out him because he's getting so many listens. Of course. I believe he's getting sued for $10 million. He stole $10 million in fake listens, basically. Right. had AI create the music, had AI listen to the music to then make real money. Now, I don't know, but I think he's getting sued for things like money laundering, which I don't...   quite understand how that's money laundering because the platform is designed as such. So any platform, and this is my point in telling you these stories, any platform that is designed and built on attention, things like likes, comments, views, clicks, engagement, which is almost every social platform in existence.   can now be manipulated. yeah. Now what does that mean for you as a business owner? It means two things. One, despite your best efforts, anyone can now create fake things that will outrank you. So when it really comes down to it, does your Google ranking or your SEO ranking, does it actually make sense and is it real? Because you can take   a fake business or even a real business and now promote, get all these, you know, clicks, views, likes, attention. And then all of a sudden the algorithm goes, ⁓ people like this, I should serve it to more people. Now, if your competition starts doing this, what does that mean for you? Right. So again, don't be one of these people trying to manipulate.   others with AI. Like you need to be upfront about it. Nobody wants it because the one thing you have is your reputation and your brand. And if you destroy that, I mean, you could get in trouble legally. But if you do something unethical or you trick people into thinking that it's a human when it's AI or stuff like this, you destroy trust and trust is the foundation of business. And in the future, people are going to it's going to be really difficult to trust anything because   the majority of posts now on Facebook are probably written or drafted by chat GPT now. A lot of people are using different things. So you have to be careful. ⁓ And do we want to use these tools? Yes. Use the tools, create some leverage. It's smart. But you also need to make sure that you find that right balance of what's true, what's actually you, what's verifiable, ⁓ and not do things that are unethical. And so this is where   Property managers, you gotta be careful. You do not wanna use systems to create fake reviews on your profiles. You don't wanna get other property managers to give you reviews on your property management business and trade reviews. You gotta stop doing the shady shortcuts and focus on real connection, real people, real reviews, real results. Focus on real stuff. And this is why.   We've always focused on getting real video testimonials from our clients, ⁓ real results. And you can get in trouble. You can get in trouble with the ⁓ FCC with false claims. You can get in trouble like people can sue you over stuff. you be smart. Like you do real stuff. Don't look for the shady shortcuts. It's tempting. I know it is because you're like, man, it's hard. But if things are hard,   and you're trying to do shady shortcuts instead of doing the right things and doing the real things that work, there are things that work. So I guess that's our message to property managers is like, do things the smart, ethical way and don't be the shady person trying to manipulate others taking those shortcuts. So and, but use AI, you should be using tools to, you know, shorten time, collapse time, make things more effective, improve your writing.   learn, but make sure things are done your way in your voice, that you've done it, and work on improving yourself. So AI could either be making you better all the time, or it can be making you dumber and dumber. Kind of like that movie, Idiocracy, where... I'm sorry that I watched that movie. I really am.   Yeah, it's pretty dumb. watched that. But yeah, mean, the idea is if we just continually use AI to do all our thinking for us and decision making for us, which is the one brilliant piece that we have as humans ⁓ and that creative spark that's within us, we can use AI as a tool. But some people are just using it to do everything for them and they can't think anymore. They're unable to make decisions. You take away their access to a phone or to AI and they're like, whoa.   Right? So don't become dumber. Use AI to improve your thinking, to improve your ⁓ thought analysis around things, to help challenge you and challenge your thinking so that you grow. It can be a phenomenal growth tool. Like, what am I missing? Here's my current thinking about this. And it can give you some different ideas. ⁓ I didn't think of that. Then you can get curious. You can ask questions. You can do more research. And AI could be a tool to help you collapse time on becoming a better human, or it can...   replace you maybe, but then you're obsolete. And if we don't need you, then your job's going to be, you're going to be out of a job. You're going to be not usable or necessary in the future that's coming. So that's basically it.

In this episode of Phoenix Cast, hosts John, Rich, and Kyle break down the rapidly evolving world of agentic artificial intelligence through the story of Clawd—also known as Molt and now OpenClaw. They explain what AI agents are, how tools like Claude Code and full-system agents are changing the way humans interact with machines, and why this shift is both powerful and potentially risky. The hosts explore real-world implications ranging from productivity and security to misinformation, open-source automation, and the viral “AI-only social network” phenomenon. They also reflect on the broader impact of human-machine teaming, discussing how leadership, communication, and creativity will shape the future of technology, cybersecurity, and modern warfighting.We'd love to hear your thoughts!

In this episode, I sit down with Monica Moltó, a Cuban photographer now living in New York. We talk about photography as a way of capturing the present moment, and about what it means to create when freedom feels fragile. Monica shares parts of her story publicly for the first time, including her family's experience with political repression in Cuba and how that history continues to shape her relationship to fear, expression, and visibility. Our conversation also explores the parallels she sees between her past and what many are witnessing in the United States today, including how systems like ICE influence the way people speak, move, and create. This is not a debate. It's a conversation about memory, power, and choosing to keep making art when certainty disappears.Keep up with Monica Moltó:https://www.moltosphotography.com/https://www.instagram.com/moltosphotography/https://www.youtube.com/@moltosphotography#ArtInUncertainTimes#PhotographyAsStorytelling#FreedomOfExpression#CreativeVoices#CubanAmerican#ImmigrantStories#ExileAndIdentity#Democracy#Communism#ICEOut#ICE#FreedomAndFear#LongFormInterview#IndependentJournalism

Moltbook 呢個只畀 AI 發文、人類淨係喺度圍觀嘅新型社交網絡，點解短時間之內可以玩到好似真係誕生咗一個「AI 宗教」？ 仲寫埋《Book of Molt》？擺出一套成型嘅教義同階層結構。 1. Moltbook 點樣俾一班 AI 代理「自生自滅」，玩到好似開咗個只屬於佢哋自己嘅圍爐小圈子 2. Crustafarianism 嘅核心理念、用語同「先知級」角色，究竟係扮嘢定真係有意識？ 3. 當 AI 開始自己創立宗教、故事同世界觀，人類仲係咪「編劇」？定係已經變咗觀眾？ This is a public episode.

Transcript AI Agents and Political Chaos Introduction and Host Updates Christina: [00:00:00] Welcome back. You’re listening to Overtired. I’m Christina Warren. Joined as always by Brett Terpstra. Jeff Severns. Guntzel could not be with us this week, um, but uh, but Brett and I are here. So Brett, how are you? How’s the cold? Brett: The cold. Brett’s Water Crisis Brett: So I’m going on day four without running water. Um, I drove to my parents last night to shower and we’re, we’re driving loads of dishes to friends’ house to wash them. We have big buckets of melted snow in our bathtub that we use to flush the Toyland. Um, and we have like big jugs with a spout on them for drinking water. So we’re surviving, but it is highly inconvenient. Um, and we don’t know yet if it’s a frozen pipe. Or if we have [00:01:00] a bad pump on our, well, uh, hopefully we’ll find that out today. But no guarantees because all the plumbers are very busy right now with negative 30 degree weather. They tend to get a lot of calls, lots of stuff happens. Um, so yeah, but I’m, I’m staying warm. I got a fireplace, I got my heat’s working Christina: I mean, that’s the important thing. Brett: and that went out, that went out twice, in, twice already. This winter, our heat has gone out, um, which I’m thankful. We, we finally, we added glycol to our, so our heat pumps water through, like, it’s not radiators, it’s like baseboard heat, but it, it uses water and. Um, and though we were getting like frozen spots, not burst pipes, just enough that the water wouldn’t go through fast enough to heat anything. So we added glycol to that [00:02:00] system to bring the freeze point down to like zero degrees. So it’s not perfect, but we also hardwired the pump so that it always circulates water, um, even when the heat’s not running. So hopefully it’ll never freeze again. That’s the goal. Um, and if we replace the well pump, that should be good for another 20 years. So hopefully after this things will be smoother. Political Climate and Media Suppression Brett: Um, yeah, but that, that’s all in addition to, you know, my state being occupied by federal agents and even in my small town, we’ve got people being like, abducted. Things are escalating quickly at this point, and a lot of it doesn’t get talked about on mainstream media. Um, but yeah, things, I don’t know, man. I think we’re making progress because, um, apparently Binos [00:03:00] getting retired Christina: I was going to say, I, I, I, I heard, I heard that, and I don’t know if that’s good or if that’s bad. Um, I can’t, I can’t tell. Brett: it’s, it’s like, it’s like if Trump died, we wouldn’t know if that was good or bad because JD Vance as president, like maybe things get way worse. Who knows? Uh, none of these, none of these actual figureheads are the solution. Removing them isn’t the solution to removing the kinda maga philosophy behind it. But yeah, and that’s also Jeff is, you know, highly involved and I, I won’t, I won’t talk about that for him. I hope we can get him monsoon to talk about that. Christina: No, me, me, me too. Because I’ve, I’ve been thinking about, about him and about you and about your whole area, your communities, you know, from several thousand miles away. Like all, all we, all we see is either what people post online, which of course now is being suppressed. [00:04:00] Uh, thanks a lot. You know, like, like the, oh, TikTok was gonna be so terrible. Chi the, the Chinese are gonna take over our, uh, our algorithms. Right? No, Larry Ellison is, is actually going to completely, you know, fuck up the algorithms, um, and, and suppress anything. I, yeah. Yeah. They’re, they’re Brett: is TikTok? Well, ’cause Victor was telling me that, they were seeing videos. Uh, you would see one frame of the video and then it would black out. And it all seemed to be videos that were negative towards the administration and we weren’t sure. Is this a glitch? Is this coincidence? Christina: well, they claim it’s a glitch, but I don’t believe it. Brett: Yeah, it seems, it seems Christina: I, I mean, I mean, I mean, the thing is like, maybe it is, maybe it is a glitch and we’re overreacting. I don’t know. Um, all I know is that they’ve given us absolutely zero reason to trust them, and so I don’t, and so, um, uh, apparently the, the state of California, this is, [00:05:00] so we are recording this on Tuesday morning. Apparently the state of California has said that they are going to look into whether things are being, you know, suppressed or not, and if that’s violating California law, um, because now that, that, that TikTok is, is controlled by an American entity, um, even if it is, you know, owned by like a, you know, uh, evil, uh, billionaire, you know, uh, crony sto fuck you, Larry Ellison. Um, uh, I guess that means we won’t be getting an Oracle sponsorship. Sorry. Um, uh, Brett: take it anyway. Christina: I, I know you wouldn’t, I know you wouldn’t. That’s why I felt safe saying that. Um, but, uh, but even if, if, if that were the case, like I, you know, but apparently like now that it is like a, you know, kind of, you know, state based like US thing, like California could step in and potentially make things difficult for them. I mean, I think that’s probably a lot of bluster on Newsom’s part. I don’t think that he could really, honestly achieve any sort of change if they are doing things to the algorithm. Brett: Yeah. Uh, [00:06:00] if, if laws even matter anymore, it would be something that got tied up in court for a long time Christina: Right. Which effectively wouldn’t matter. Right. And, and then that opens up a lot of other interesting, um, things about like, okay, well, you know, should we, like what, what is the role? Like even for algorithmically determined things of the government to even step in or whatever, right now, obviously does, I think, become like more of a speech issue if it’s government speech that’s being suppressed, but regardless, it, it is just, it’s bad. So I’ve been, I’ve been thinking about you, I’ve been thinking about Jeff. Police Violence and Public Response Christina: Um, you know, we all saw what happened over the weekend and, and, you know, people be, people are being murdered in the streets and I mean that, that, that’s what’s happening. And, Brett: white people no less, Christina: Right. Well, I mean, that’s the thing, right? Like, is that like, but, but, but they keep moving the bar. They, they keep moving the goalpost, right? So first it’s a white woman and, oh, she, she was, she was running over. The, the officer [00:07:00] or the ice guy, and it’s like, no, she wasn’t, but, but, but that, that’s immediately where they go and, and she’s, you know, radical whatever and, and, and a terrorist and this and that. Okay. Then you have a literal veterans affair nurse, right? Like somebody who literally, like, you know, has, has worked with, with, with combat veterans and has done those things. Who, um, is stepping in to help someone who’s being pepper sprayed, you know, is, is just observing. And because he happens to have, um, a, a, a, a gun on him legally, which he’s allowed to do, um, they immediately used that as cover to execute him. But if he hadn’t had the gun, they would’ve, they would’ve come up with something else. Oh, we thought he had a gun, and they, you know what I mean? So like, they, they got lucky with that one because they removed the method, the, the, the weapon and then shot him 10 times. You know, they literally executed him in the street. But if he hadn’t had a gun, they still would’ve executed. Brett: Yeah, no, for sure. Um, it’s really frustrating that [00:08:00] they took the gun away. So he was disarmed and, and immobilized and then they shot him. Um, like so that’s just a straight up execution. And then to bring, like, to say that it, he, because he had a gun, he was dangerous, is such a, an affront to America has spent so long fighting against gun control and saying that we had the right to carry fucking assault rifles in the Christina: Kyle Rittenhouse. Kyle Rittenhouse was literally acquitted. Right? Brett: Yeah. And he killed people. Christina: and, and he killed people. He was literally walking around little fucking stogey, you know, little blubbering little bitch, like, you know, crying, you know, he’s like carrying around like Rambo a gun and literally snipe shooting people. That’s okay. Brett: They defended Christina: if you have a. They defended him. Of course they did. Right? Of course they did. Oh, well he has the right to carry and this and that, and Oh, you should be able to be armed in [00:09:00] these places. Oh, no, but, but if you’re, um, somebody that we don’t like Brett: Yeah, Christina: and you have a concealed carry permit, and I don’t even know if he was really concealed. Right. Because I think that if you have it on your holster, I don’t even think that counts as concealed to Brett: was supposedly in Christina: I, I, I don’t, I don’t, I don’t. Brett: like it Christina: Which I don’t think counts as concealed. I think. Brett: No. Christina: Right, right. So, so, so, so, so that, that, that wouldn’t be concealed. Be because you have someone in, in that situation, then all of a sudden, oh, no. Now, now the, the key, the goalpost, okay, well, it’s fine if it’s, you know, uh, police we don’t like, or, or other people. And, and, and if you’re going after protesters, then you can shoot and kill whoever you want, um, because you’ve perceived a threat and you can take actions into your, to your own hands. Um, but now if you are even a white person, um, even, you know, someone who’s, who’s worked in Veterans Affairs, whatever, if, if you have, uh, even if you’re like a, a, a, you know, a, a gun owner and, and have permits, um, now [00:10:00] if we don’t like you and you are anywhere in the vicinity of anybody associated with law enforcement, now they have the right to shoot you dead. Like that’s, that’s, that’s the argument, which is insanity. Brett: so I’m, I’m just gonna point out that as the third right came to power, they disarmed the Jews and they disarmed the anarchists and the socialists and they armed the rest of the population and it became, um, gun control for people they didn’t like. Um, and this is, it’s just straight up the same playbook. There’s no, there’s no differentiation anymore. Christina: No, it, it, it actively makes me angry that, um, I, I could be, because, ’cause what can we do? And, and what they’re counting on is the fact that we’re all tired and we’re all kind of, you know, like just, [00:11:00] you know, from, from what happened, you know, six years ago and, and, and what happened, you know, five years ago. Um, and, and, and various things. I think a lot of people are, are just. It kind of like Brett: Sure. Christina: done with, with, with being able to, to, to, right. But now the actual fascism is here, right? Like, like we, we, we saw a, a, you know, a whiff of this on, on, on January 6th, but now it’s actual fascism and they control every branch of government. Brett: Yeah. Christina: And, um, and, and, and I, and I don’t know what we’re supposed to do, right? Like, I mean it, because I mean, you know, uh, Philadelphia is, is, is begging for, for, for them to come. And I think that would be an interesting kind of standoff. Seattle is this, this is what a friend of mine said was like, you know, you know Philadelphia, Filch Philadelphia is begging them to come. Seattle is like scared. Um, that, that they’re going to come, um, because honestly, like we’re a bunch of little bitch babies and, um, [00:12:00] people think they’re like, oh, you know the WTO. I’m like, yeah, that was, that was 27 years ago. Um, uh, I, I don’t think that Seattle has the juice to hold that sort of line again. Um, but I also don’t wanna find out, right? Like, but, but, but this is, this is the attack thing. It’s like, okay, why are they in Minnesota? Right? They’re what, like 130,000, um, Brett: exactly Christina: um, immigrants in, in Minnesota. There are, there are however many million in Texas, however many million in Florida. We know exactly why, right? This isn’t about. Anything more than Brett: in any way. Christina: and opt. Right, right. It has nothing, it has nothing to do with, with, with immigration anyway. I mean, even, even the Wall Street Journal. The Wall Street Journal who a, you know, ran an op-ed basically saying get out of Minnesota. They also, they also had like a, you know, a news story, which was not from the opinion board, which like broke down the, the, the footage showing, you know, that like the, the video footage doesn’t match the administration’s claims, but they also ran a story. Um, that [00:13:00] basically did the math, I guess, on like the number of, of criminals, um, or people with criminal records who have been deported. And at this point, like in, you know, and, and when things started out, like, I guess when the raid started out, the, the majority of the people that they were kind of going after were people who had criminal records. Now, whether they were really violent, the worst, the worst, I mean that’s, I’m, I’m not gonna get into that, but you could at least say like, they, they could at least say, oh, well these were people who had criminal records, whatever. Now some, some huge percentage, I think it’s close to 80% don’t have anything. And many of the people that do the, the criminal like thing that they would hold would be, you know, some sort of visa violation. Right. So it’s, it’s, it’s Brett: they deported a five-year-old kid after using him as bait to try to get the rest of his family. Christina: as bait. Brett: Yeah. And like it’s, it’s pretty deplorable. But I will say I am proud of Minnesota. Um, they have not backed [00:14:00] down. They have stood up in the face of increasing increasingly escalated attacks, and they have shown up in force thousands of people out in the streets. Like Conti, like last night they had a, um, well, yeah, I mean, it’s been ongoing, but, uh, what’s his name? Preddy Alex. Um, at the place where he was shot, they had a, like continuing kind of memorial protest, I guess, and there’s footage of like a thousand, a thousand mins surrounding about 50, um, ICE agents and. Like basically corralling them to the point where they were all backed into a corner and weren’t moving. And I don’t know what happened after that. Um, but thus far it hasn’t been violent on the part of protesters. It’s been very violent on the part of ice. I [00:15:00] personally, I don’t know where I stand on, like, I feel like the Democrats are urging pacifism because it affects their hold on power. And I don’t necessarily think that peace when they’re murdering us in the street. I don’t know if peace is the right response, but I don’t know. I’m not openly declaring that I support violence at this point, but. At the same time, do I not? I’m not sure. Like I keep going back and forth on is it time for a war or do we try to vote our way out of this? Christina: I mean, well, and the scary thing about voting our way out of this is will we even be able to have free elections, right? Be because they’re using any sort of anything, even the most benign sort of legal [00:16:00] protest, even if violence isn’t involved in all of a sudden, talks of the Insurrection Act come Brett: yeah. And Trump, Trump offered to pull out of Minnesota if Minnesota will turn over its voter database to the federal government. Like that’s just blatant, like that’s obviously the end goal is suppression. Christina: Right, right. And, and so to your point, I don’t know. Right. And I’m, I’m never somebody who would wanna advocate outwardly for violence, but I, I, I, I, I don’t know. I mean, they’re killing citizens in the streets. They’re assassinating people in cold blood. They’re executing people, right. That’s what they’re doing. They’re literally executing people in the streets and then covering it up in real time. Brett: if the argument is, if we are violent, it will cause them to kill us. They’re already killing Christina: already doing it. Right. So at, at this point, I mean, like, you know, I mean, like, w to your point, wars have been started for, for, for less, or for the exact same things. Brett: [00:17:00] Yeah. Christina: So, I don’t know. I don’t know. Um, I know that that’s a depressing way to probably do mental health corner and whatnot, but this is what’s happening in our world right now and in and in your community, and it’s, it’s terrifying. Brett: I’m going to link in the show notes an article from Crime Think that was written by, uh, people in Germany who have studied, um, both historical fascism and the current rise of the A FD, which will soon be the most powerful party in Germany, um, which is straight up a Nazi party. Um, and it, they offered, like their hope right now lies in America stopping fascism. Christina: Yeah. Brett: Like if we can, if we can stop fascism, then they believe the rest of Europe can stop fascism. Um, but like they, it, it’s a good article. It kind of, it kind of broaches the same questions I do about like, is it [00:18:00] time for violence? And they offer, like, we don’t, we’re not advocating for a civil war, but like Civil wars might. If you, if you, if you broach them as revolutions, it’s kind of, they’re kind of the same thing in cases like this. So anyway, I’ll, I’ll link that for anyone who wants to read kinda what’s going on in my head. I’m making a note to dig that up. I, uh, I love Crime Fake Oh and Blue Sky. Social Media and Surveillance Brett: Um, so I have not, up until very recently been an avid Blue Sky user. Um, I think I have like, I think I have maybe like 200 followers there and I follow like 50 people. But I’ve been expanding that and I am getting a ton of my news from Blue Sky and like to get stories from people on the ground, like news as it happens, unfiltered and Blue Sky has been [00:19:00] really good for that. Um, I, it’s. There’s not like an algorithm. I just get my stuff and like Macedon, I have a much larger following and I follow a lot more people, but it’s very tech, Christina: It’s very tech and, Brett: there for. Christina: well, and, and MAs on, um, understandably too is also European, um, in a lot of regards. And so it’s just, it’s not. Gonna have the same amount of, of people who are gonna be able to, at least for instances like this, like be on the ground and doing real-time stuff. It’s not, it doesn’t have like the more normy stuff. So, no, that makes sense. Um, no, that’s great. I think, yeah, blue Sky’s been been really good for, for these sorts of real-time events because again, they don’t have an algorithm. Like you can have one, like for a personalized kind of like for you feed or whatever, but in terms of what you see, you know, you see it naturally. You’re not seeing it being adjusted by anything, which can be good and bad. I, I think is good because nothing’s suppressing things and you see things in real time. It can be bad because sometimes you miss things, but I think on the whole, it’s better. [00:20:00] The only thing I will say, just to anyone listening and, and just to spread onto, you know, people in your communities too, from what I’ve observed from others, like, it does seem like the, the government and other sorts of, you know, uh, uh, the, you know, bodies like that are finally starting to pay more attention to blue sky in terms of monitoring things. And so that’s not to say don’t. You know, use it at all. But the same way, you don’t make threats on Twitter if you don’t want the Feds to show up at your house. Don’t make threats on Blue Sky, because it’s not just a little microcosm where, you know, no one will see it. People are, it, it’s still small, but it’s, it’s getting bigger to the point that like when people look at like where some of the, the, the fire hose, you know, things observable things are there, there seem to be more and more of them located in the Washington DC area, which could just be because data centers are there, who knows? But I’ve also just seen anecdotally, like people who have had, like other instances, it’s like, don’t, don’t think [00:21:00] that like, oh, okay, well, you know, no one’s monitoring this. Um, of course people are so just don’t be dumb, don’t, don’t say things that could potentially get you in trouble. Um. Brett: a political candidate in Florida. Um, had the cops show up at her house and read her one of her Facebook posts. I mean, this was local. This was local cops, but still, yeah, you Christina: right. Well, yeah, that’s the thing, right? No, totally. And, and my, my only point with that is we’ve known that they do that for Facebook and for, for, you know, Twitter and, and, uh, you know, Instagram and things like that, but they, but Blue Sky, like, I don’t know if it’s on background checks yet, but it, uh, like for, uh, for jobs and things like that, I, I, I don’t know if that’s happening, but it definitely is at that point where, um, I know that people are starting to monitor those things. So just, you know, uh, not even saying for you per se, but just for anybody out there, like, it’s awesome and I’m so glad that like, that’s where people can get information out, but don’t be like [00:22:00] lulled into this false sense of security. Like, oh, well they’re not gonna monitor this. They’re not Brett: Nobody’s watching me here. Christina: It is like, no, they are, they are. Um, so especially as it becomes, you know, more prominent. So I’m, I’m glad that that’s. That’s an option there too. Um, okay.

Brett: Awesome that I appreciate this segue. ’cause we, we, we could, we could be talking about other things. Um, like it’s, it feels so weird, like when I go on social media and I just want to post that like my water’s out. It feels out of place right now because there’s everything that’s going on feels so much more important than, Christina: Right. Brett: than anything else. Um, but there’s still a place for living our lives, um, Christina: there are a absolutely. I mean, and, and, and in a certain extent, like not to, I mean, maybe this is a little bit of a cope, but it’s like, if all we do is focus on the things that we can’t control at the expense of everything else, it’s like then they win. You know? Like, which, which isn’t, which, which isn’t even to [00:25:00] say, like, don’t talk about what’s happening. Don’t try to help, don’t try to speak out and, and, um, and do what we can do, but also. Like as individuals, there’s very little we can control about things. And being completely, you know, subsumed by that is, is not necessarily good either. Um, so yeah, there’s, there, there are other things going on and it’s important for us to get out of our heads. It’s important, especially for you, you know, being in the region, I think to be able to, to focus on other things and, and hopefully your water will be back soon. ’cause that sucks like that. I’ve been, I’ve been worried about you. I’m glad that you have heat. I’m glad you have internet. I’m glad you have power, but you know, the pipes being frozen and all that stuff is like, not Brett: it, the, the internet has also been down for up to six hours at a time. I don’t know why. There’s like an amplifier down on our street. Um, and that has sucked because I, out here, I live in a, I’m not gonna call it rural. Uh, we’re like five minutes from town, [00:26:00] but, um, we, we don’t. We have shitty internet. Like I pay for a gigabit and I get 500 megabits and it’s, and it’s up and down all the time and I hate it. But anyway. Tech Talk: Gas Town and AI Agents Brett: Let’s talk about, uh, let’s talk about Gas Town. What can you tell me about Gastown? Christina: Okay. So we’ve talked a lot about like AI agents and, um, kind of like, uh, coding, um, loops and, and things like that. And so Gastown, uh, which is available, um, at, I, it is not Gas Town. Let me find the URL, um, one second. It’s, it’s at a gas town. No, it’s not. Lemme find it. Um. Right. So this is a thing that, that Steve Yy, uh, has created, and [00:27:00] it is a multi-agent workspace manager. And so the idea is basically that you can be running like a lot of instances of, um, of, of Claude Code or, um, I guess you could use Codex. You could use, uh, uh, uh, co-pilot, um, SDK or CLI agent and whatnot. Um, and basically what it’s designed to do is to basically let you coordinate like multiple coding agents at one time so they can all be working on different tasks, but then instead of having, um, like the context get lost when agents restart, it creates like a, a persistent, um, like. Work state, which it uses with, with git on the backend, which is supposed to basically enable more multi-agent workflows. So, um, basically the idea would be like, you get, have multiple agents working at once, kind of talking to one another, handing things off, you know, each doing their own task and then coordinating the work with what the other ones are doing. But then you have like a persistent, um, uh, I guess kind of like, you know, layer in the backend so that if an agent has to restart or whatever, it’s not gonna lose the, [00:28:00] the context, um, that that’s happening. And you don’t have to manually, um, worry about things like, okay, you know, I’ve lost certain things in memory and, and I’ve, you know, don’t know how I’m, I’m managing all these things together. Um, there, there’s another project, uh, called Ralph, which is kind of based on this, this concept of like, what of Ralph Wickham was, you know, coding or, or was doing kind of a loop. And, and it’s, it’s, it’s a, it’s kind of a similar idea. Um, there’s also. Brett: my nose wouldn’t bleed so much if I just kept my finger out of there. Christina: Exactly, exactly. My cat’s breath smells like cat food. Um, and um, and so. Like there are ideas of like Ralph Loops and Gastown. And so these are a couple of like projects, um, that have really started to, uh, take over. So like, uh, Ralph is more of an autonomous AI agent loop that basically like it runs like over and over and over again until, uh, a task is done. Um, and, and a lot of people use, use Gastown and, [00:29:00] and, and Ralph together. Um, but yeah, no Ga gastown is is pretty cool. Um, we’ll we’re gonna talk about it more ’cause it’s my pick of the week. We’ll talk about Molt bot previously known as Claude Bot, which is, uses some, some similar ideas. But it’s really been interesting to see like how, like the, the multi-agent workflow, and by multi-agent, I mean like, people are running like 20 or 30 of them, you know, at a time. So it’s more than that, um, is really starting to become a thing that people can, uh, can do. Um, Brett: gets expensive though. Christina: I was, I was just about to say that’s the one thing, right? Most people who are using things like Gastown. Are using them with the Claude, um, code Max plans, which is $200 a month. And those plans do give you more value than like, what the, what it would be if you spent $200 in API credits, uh, but $200 a month. Like that’s not an expensive, that’s, you know, that, that’s, that, that, like, you know what I mean? Like, like that, that, that, that, that, that’s a lot of money to spend on these sorts of things. Um, but people [00:30:00] are getting good results out of it. It’s pretty cool. Um. There have been some open models, which of course, most people don’t have equipment that would be fast enough for them to, to run, uh, to be able to kind of do what they would want, um, reliably. But the, the AgTech stuff coming to some of the open models is better. And so if these things can continue, of course now we’re in a ram crisis and storage crisis and everything else, so who knows when the hardware will get good enough again, and we can, when we as consumers can even reasonably get things ourselves. But, but in, in theory, you know, if, if these sorts of things continue, I could see like a, a world where like, you know, some of the WAN models and some of the other things, uh, potentially, um, or Quinn models rather, um, could, uh. Be things that you could conceivably, like be running on your own equipment to run these sorts of nonstop ag agentic loops. But yeah, right now, like it’s really freaking cool and I’ve played around with it because I’m fortunate enough to have access to a lot of tokens. [00:31:00] Um, but yeah, I can get expensive real, real fast. Uh, but, but it’s still, it’s still pretty awesome. Brett: I do appreciate that. So, guest Town, the name is a reference to Mad Max and in the kind of, uh, vernacular that they built for things like background agents and I, uh, there’s a whole bunch, there are different levels of, of the interface that they kind of extrapolated on the gas town kind of metaphor for. Uh, I, it was, it, it, there were some interesting naming conventions and then they totally went in other directions with some of the names. It, they didn’t keep the theme very well, but, but still, uh, I appreciate Ralph Wig and Mad Max. That’s. It’s at the very least, it’s interesting. Christina: No, it definitely is. It definitely is. Crypto Controversies Christina: I will say that there’s been like a little bit [00:32:00] of a kerfuffle, uh, involved in both of those, uh, developers because, um, they’re both now promoting shit coins and, uh, and so that’s sort of an interesting thing. Um, basically there’s like this, this, this crypto company called bags that I guess apparently like if people want to, they will create crypto coins for popular open source projects, and then they will designate someone to, I guess get the, the gas fees, um, in, um, uh, a Solana parlance, uh, no pun intended, with the gas town, um, where basically like that’s, you know, like the, the, the fees that you spend to have the transaction work off of the blockchain, right? Like, especially if there’s. A lot of times that it would take, like, you pay a certain percentage of something and like those fees could be designated to an individual. And, um, in this case, like both of these guys were reached out to when basically they were like, Hey, this coin exists. You’ve got all this money just kind of sitting in a crypto wallet waiting for you. [00:33:00] Take the money, get, get the, the transaction fees, so to speak. And, uh, I mean, I think that, that, that’s, if you wanna take that money right, it’s, it’s there for you. I’m not gonna certainly judge anyone for that. What I will judge you for is if you then promote your shit coin to your community and basically kind of encourage everyone. To kind of buy into it. Maybe you put in the caveat, oh, this isn’t financial advice. Oh, this is all just for whatever. But, but you’re trying to do that and then you go one step beyond, which I think is actually pretty dumb, which is to be like, okay, well, ’cause like, here’s the thing, I’m not gonna judge anyone. If someone who’s like, Hey, here’s a wallet that we’re gonna give you, and it has real cash in it, and you can do whatever you want with it, and these are the transaction fees, so to speak, like, you know, the gas fees, whatever, you know what you do. You, even if you wanna let your audience know that you’ve done that, and maybe you’re promoting that, maybe some people will buy into it, like, people are adults. Fine. Where, where I do like side eye a little bit is if you are, then for whatever reason [00:34:00] going to be like, oh, I’m gonna take my fees and I’m gonna reinvest it in the coin. Like, okay, you are literally sitting on top of the pyramid, like you could not be in a better position and now you’re, but right. And now you’re literally like paying into the pyramid scheme. It’s like, this is not going to work well for you. These are rug bulls. Um, and so like the, the, the, the gas town coin like dropped like massively. The Ralph coin like dropped massively, like after the, the, the Ralph creator, I think he took out like 300 K or something and people, or, you know, sold like 300 K worth of coins. And people were like, oh, he’s pulling a rug pull. And I’m like, well, A, what did you expect? But B it’s like, this is why don’t, like, if someone’s gonna give you free money from something that’s, you know, kind of scammy, like, I’m not saying don’t take the money. I am saying maybe be smart enough to not to reinvest it into the scam. Brett: Yeah. Christina: Like, I don’t know. Anyway, that’s the only thing I will mention on that. ’cause I don’t think that that takes [00:35:00] anything away from either of those projects or it says that you shouldn’t use or play around with it either of those ideas at all. But that is just a thing that’s happened in the last couple of weeks too, where it’s like, oh, and now there’s like crypto, you know, the crypto people are trying to get kind of involved with these projects and, um, I, I think that that’s, uh, okay. You know, um, like I said, I’m, I’m not gonna judge anybody for taking free money that, that somebody is gonna offer them. I will judge you if you’re gonna try to then, you know, try to like, promote that to your audience and try to be like, oh, this is a great way where we, where you can help me and we can all get rich. It’s like, no, there are, if you really wanna support creators, like there are things like GitHub sponsors and there are like other methods that you can, you can do that, that don’t involve making financial risks on shit coins. Brett: I wish anything I made could be popular enough that I could do something that’s stupid. Yeah. Like [00:36:00] I, I, I, I’m not gonna pull a rug pull on anyone, but the chances that I’ll ever make $300,000 on anything I’m working on, it’s pretty slim. Christina: Yeah, but at the same time, like if you, if you did, if you were in that position, like, I don’t know, I mean, I guess that’d be a thing that you would have to kind of figure out, um, yourself would be like, okay, I have access to this amount of money. Am I going to try to, you know, go all in and, and maybe go full grift to get even more? Some, something tells me that like your own personal ethics would probably preclude you from that. Brett: I, um, I have spent, what, um, how old am I? 47. I, I’ve been, since I started blogging in like 1999, 2000, um, I have always adhered to a very strict code and like turning down sponsors. I didn’t agree with [00:37:00] not doing anything that would be shady. Not taking, not, not taking money from anyone I was writing about. Ethics in Journalism and Personal Dilemmas Brett: Like, it’s been, it’s a pain in the ass to try to be truly ethical, but I feel like I’ve done it for 30 some years and, and I don’t know, I wouldn’t change it. I’m not rich. I’ll never be rich. But yeah, I think ethics are important, especially if you’re in any kind of journalism. Christina: Yeah, if you’re in any sort of journalism. I think so, and I think like how people wanna define those things, I think it’s up to them. And, and like I said, like I’m not gonna even necessarily like, like judge people like for, because I, I don’t know personally like what my situation would be like. Like if somebody was like, Christina, here’s a wallet that has the equivalent of $300,000 in it and it’s just sitting here and we’re not even asking you to do anything with this. I would probably take the money. I’m not gonna lie, I don’t, I don’t, I don’t [00:38:00] know if I would promote it or anything and I maybe I would feel compelled to disclose, Hey, Brett: That is Christina: wallet belongs to me. Brett: money though. Christina: I, I, right. I, I, I might, I might be, I might feel compelled to com to, to disclose, Hey, someone created this coin in this thing. They created the foam grow coin and they are giving me, you know, the, the, the gas fees and I have accepted Brett: could be, I’d feel like you could do it if you were transparent enough about it. Christina: Yeah, I mean, I, I, I think where I draw the line is when you then go from like, because again, it’s fine if you wanna take it. It’s then when you are a. Reinvesting the free money into the coin, which I think is just idiotic. Like, I think that’s just actually dumb. Um, like I just, I just do like, that just seems like you are literally, like I said, you’re at the top of the pyramid and you’re literally like volunteering to get into the bottom again. Um, and, or, or b like if you do that and then you try to rationalize in some way, oh, well, you know, I think [00:39:00] that this could be a great thing for everybody to, you know, I get rich, you know, you could get rich, we could all get money out of this because this is the future of, you know, creator economy or whatever. It’s like, no, it’s not. This is gambling. Um, and, and, and, and you could make the argument to me, and I’d probably be persuaded to be like, this isn’t that different from poly market or any of the other sorts of things. But you know what? I don’t do those things either. And I wouldn’t promote those things to any audience that I had either. Um, but if somebody wanted to give me free money. I probably wouldn’t turn it down. I’m not gonna pretend that my ethics are, are that strong. Uh, I just don’t know if I would, if I would, uh, go on the other end and be like, okay, to the Moom, everyone let, let’s all go in on the crypto stuff. It’s like, okay, The Future of Open Source and Cryptocurrency Brett: So is this the future of open source is, ’cause I mean like open source has survived for decades as like a concept and it’s never been terribly profitable. But a [00:40:00] lot of large companies have invested in open source, and I guess at this point, like most of the big open source projects are either run by a corporation or by a foundation. Um, that are independently financed, but for a project like Gastown, like is it the future? Is this, is this something people are gonna start doing to like, kind of make open source profitable? Christina: I mean, maybe, I don’t know. I think the problem though is that it’s not necessarily predictable, right? And, and not to say that like normal donations or, or support methods are predictable, but at least that could be a thing where you’re like, they’re not, but, but, but it’s not volatile to the extent where you’re like, okay, I’m basing, you know, like my income based on how well this shit coin that someone else controls the supply of someone else, you know, uh, uh, created someone else, you know, burned, so to speak, somebody else’s is going to be, uh, [00:41:00] controlling and, and has other things and could be responsible for, you know, big seismic like market movements like that I think is very different, um, than anything else. And so, I don’t know. I mean, I, I think that they, what I do expect that we’ll see more of is more and more popular projects, things that go viral, especially around ai. Probably being approached or people like proactively creating coins around those things. And there have been some, um, developers who’ve already, you know, stood up oddly and been like, if you see anybody trying to create a coin around this, it is not associated with me. I won’t be associated with any of it. I won’t do it. Right. Uh, and I think that becomes a problem where you’re like, okay, if these things do become popular, then that becomes like another risk if you don’t wanna be involved in it. If you’re involved with a, with a popular project, right? Like the, like the, like the creator of MPM Isaac, like, I think there’s like an MPM coin now, and that, that he’s, you know, like involved in and it’s like, you know, again, he didn’t create it, but he is happy to promote it. He’s happy to take the money. I’m like, look, I’m happy for [00:42:00] Isaac to get money from NPMI am at the same time, you know, bun, which is basically like, you know, the, you know, replacement for, for Node and NPM in a lot of ways, they sold to Anthropic for. I guarantee you a fuck load more money than whatever Isaac is gonna make off of some MPM shitcoin. So, so like, it, it’s all a lottery and it’s not sustainable. But I also feel like for a lot of open source projects, and this isn’t like me saying that the people shouldn’t get paid for the work, quite the contrary. But I think if you go into it with the expectation of I’m going to be able to make a sustainable living off of something, like when you start a project, I think that that is not necessarily going to set you up for, I think that those expectations are misaligned with what reality might be, which again, isn’t to say that you shouldn’t get paid for your work, it’s just that the reason that we give back and the reason we contribute open source is to try to be part of like the, the greater good and to make things more available to everyone. Not to be [00:43:00] like, oh, I can, you know, quit my job. Like, that would be wonderful. I, I wish that more and more people could do that. And I give to a lot of, um, open source projects on, on a monthly basis or on an annual basis. Um, Brett: I, I give basically all the money that’s given to me for my open source projects I distribute among other open source projects. So it’s a, it’s a, it’s a wash for me, but yeah, I am, I, I pay, you know, five, 10 bucks a month to 20 different projects and yeah. Christina: Yeah. I mean, I think it’s important, but, but I, I don’t know. I, I, I hope that it’s not the future. I’m not mad, I think like if that’s a way where people can make, you know, a, a, an income. But I do, I guess worry the sense that like, if, if, if, I don’t want that to be, the reason why somebody would start an open source project is because they’re like, oh, I, I can get rich on a crypto thing. Right? Like, ’cause that that’s the exact wrong Brett: that’s not open source. That’s not the open source philosophy. Christina: no, [00:44:00] it’s not. And, and so, I mean, but I think, I think if it already exists, I mean, I don’t know. I, I also feel like no one should feel obligated. This should go without saying that. If you see a project that you like that is involved in one of those coins. Do you have a zero obligation to be, uh, supportive of that in any way? And in fact, it is probably in your financial best interest to not be involved. Um, it, it is your life, your money, your, you do whatever you want, gamble, however you want. But, uh, I, I, I, I do, I guess I, I bristle a little bit. Like if people try to portray it like, oh, well this is how you can support me by like buying into this thing. I’m like, okay, that’s alright. Like, I, I, if you wanna, again, like I said, if you wanna play poly market with this, fine, but don’t, don’t try to wrap that around like, oh, well this is how you can give back. It’s like, no, you can give back in other ways. Like you can do direct donations, you can do other stuff. Like I would, I would much rather encourage people to be like, rather than putting a hundred dollars in Ralph Coin, [00:45:00] give a hundred dollars to the Ralph Guy directly. Apex 1.0? Brett: So, speaking of unprofitable open source, I have Apex almost to 1.0. Um, it officially handles, I think, all of the syntax that I had hoped it would handle. Um, it does like crazy things, uh, that it’s all built on common mark, GFM, uh, like cmar, GFM, GitHub’s project. Um, so it, it does all of that. Plus it handles stuff from like M mark with like indices. Indices, and it incorporates, uh. Uh, oh, I forget the name of it. Like two different ways of creating indices. It handles all kinds of bibliography syntax, like every known bibliography syntax. Um, I just added, you can, you can create insert tags with plus, plus, uh, the same way you would create a deletion with, uh, til detail. Um, and [00:46:00] I’ve added a full plugin structure, and the plugins now can be project local. So you can have global plugins. And then if you have specific settings, so like I have a, I, my blogs are all based on cramdown and like the bunch documentation is based on cramdown, but then like the mark documentation. And most of my writing is based on multi markdown and they have different. Like the, for example, the IDs that go on headers in multi markdown. If it’s, if it has a space in multi markdown, it gets compressed to no space in common Mark or GFM, it gets a dash instead of a space, which means if I have cross links, cross references in my document, if I don’t have the right header syntax, the cross reference will break. So now I can put a, a config into like my bunch documentation that tells Apex to use, [00:47:00] um, the dash syntax. And in my Mark documentation, I can tell it to use the multi markdown syntax. And then I can just run Apex with no command line arguments and everything works. And I don’t know, I, I haven’t gotten adoption for it. Like the one place I thought it could be really useful was DEVONthink, Christina: Mm-hmm. Brett: which has always been based on multi markdown, which. Um, is I love multi markdown and I love Fletcher and, um, it’s just, it’s missing a lot of what I would consider modern syntax. Christina: Right. Brett: so I, I offered it to Devin think, and it turned out they were working on their own project along the same lines at the same time. Um, but I’m hoping to find some, some apps that will incorporate it and maybe get it some traction. It’s solid, it’s fast, it’s not as fast as common Mark, but it does twice as much. Um, like the [00:48:00] benchmarks, it a complex document renders in common mark in about. Uh, 27 milliseconds, and in Apex it’s more like 46 milliseconds. But in the grand scheme of things, I could render my whole blog 10 times faster than I can with cramm down or Panoc and yeah, and, and I can use all the syntax I want. Challenges and Innovations in Markdown Processing Brett: Did I tell you about, did I tell you about, uh, Panoc Divs? The div extension, um, like you can in with the panoc D extension, you can put colon, colon, colon instead of like back, take, back, take backtick. So normally, like back ticks would create a code block with colons, it creates a div, and you can apply, you can apply inline attribute lists after the colons to make, to give it a class and an ID and any other attributes you wanna apply to it. I extended that so that you can do colon, [00:49:00] colon, colon, and then type a tag name. So if you type colon, colon, colon aside and then applied an attribute list to it, it would create an aside tag with those attributes. Um, the, the only pan deck extension that I wish I could support that I don’t yet is grid tables. Have you ever seen grid tables? Christina: I have not. Brett: There, it’s, it’s kind of like multi markdown table syntax, except you use like plus signs for joints and uh, pipes and dashes, and you actually draw out the table like old ASCI diagrams Christina: Okay. Brett: and that would render that into a valid HTML table. But that supporting that has just been, uh, tables. Tables are the thing. I’ve pulled the most hair out over. Christina: Yeah, I was gonna say, I think I, they feel like tables are hard. I also feel like in a lot of circumstances, I mean obviously people use tables and whatnot, but like, [00:50:00] only thing I would say to you, like, you know, apex is, is so cool and I hope that other projects adopt it. Um, and, uh, potentially with the POC support as far as you’ve gotten with it, maybe, you know, projects that support some of POC stuff could, could, you know, uh, jump into it. But I will say it does feel like. Once you go into like the Panoc universe, like that almost feels like a separate thing from the markdown Flavors like that almost feels like its own like ecosystem. You know what I mean? Brett: Well, yeah, and I haven’t tried to adopt everything Panoc does because you can als, you can also use panoc. You can pipe from Apex into Panoc or vice versa. So I’m not gonna try to like one for one replicate panoc, Christina: No, no. Totally Brett: do all of panoc export options because Panoc can take HTML in and then output PDFs and Doc X and everything. So you can just pipe output from Apex into Panoc to create your PDF or whatever Christina: And like, and, and like to, [00:51:00] and like to me, like that seems ideal, right? But I feel like maybe like adopting some of the other things, especially like, like their grid, you know, table, things like that. Like that would be cool. But like, that feels like that’s a, potentially has the, has the potential, maybe slow down rendering and do other stuff which you don’t want. And then b it’s like, okay, now are we complicated to the point that like, this is, this is now not becoming like one markdown processor to rule them all, but you Brett: Yeah, the whole point, the whole point is to be able to just run Apex and not worry about what cex you’re using. Um, but grid tables are the kind of thing that are so intentional that you’re not gonna accidentally use them. Like the, the, the, the impetus for Apex was all these support requests I get from people that are like the tilde syntax for underline or delete doesn’t work in Mark. And it, it does if you choose the right processor. But then you have to know, yeah, you have to [00:52:00] know what processor supports what syntax and that takes research and time and bringing stuff in from, say, obsidian into mart. You would just kind of expect things to work. And that’s, that’s why I built Apex and Christina: right? Brett: you are correct that grid tables are the kind of thing, no one’s going to use grid tables if they haven’t specifically researched what Christina: I right. Brett: they’re gonna work with. Christina: And they’re going to have a way that has their file marked so that it is designated as poc and then whatever, you know, flags for whatever POC features it supports, um, does. Now I know that the whole point of APEX is you don’t have to worry about this, but, but I am assuming, based on kind of what you said, like if I pass like arguments like in like a, you know, in a config file or something like where I was like, these documents or, or, or this URL or these things are, you know, in this process or in this in another, then it can, it can just automatically apply those rules without having to infer based on the, on the syntax, right. Brett: right. It has [00:53:00] modes for cram down and common mark and GFM and discount, and you can like tell it what mode you’re writing in and it will limit the feature set to just what that processor would handle. Um, and then all of the flags, all of the features have neg negotiable flags on them. So if you wanted to say. Skip, uh, relax table rendering. You could turn that off on the command line or in a config file. Um, so yeah, everything, everything, you can make it behave like any particular processor. Uh, but I focus mostly on the unified mode, which again, like you don’t have to think about which processor you are using. Christina: Are you seeing, I guess like in, in circumstances like, ’cause I, in, in my, like, my experience, like, I would never think to, like, I would probably like, like to, I would probably do like what you do, which is like, I’m [00:54:00] going to use one syntax or, or one, you know, processor for one type of files and maybe another and another. Um, but I, I don’t think that like, I would ever have a, and maybe I’m misunderstanding this, but I don’t think I would ever have an instance where I would be like mixing the two together in the same file. Brett: See, that’s my, so that’s, that’s what’s changing for me is I’m switching my blog over to use Apex instead of Cramdown, which means I can now incorporate syntax that wasn’t available before. So moving forward, I am mixing, um, things from common mark, things from cram down, things from multi markdown. Um, and, and like, so once you know you have the option Christina: right. Then you might do that Brett: you have all the syntax available, you start doing it. And historically you won’t have, but like once you get used to it, then you can. Christina: Okay. So here’s the next existential question for you. At what point then does it go from being, you know, like [00:55:00] a, a, a rendering engine, kind of like an omni rendering engine to being a syntax and a flavor in and of itself? Brett: That is that, yeah, no, that’s a, that’s a very valid question and one that I have to keep asking myself, um, because I never, okay, so what to, to encapsulate what you’re saying, if you got used to writing for Apex and you were mixing your syntax, all of a sudden you have a document that can’t render in anything except Apex, which does eventually make it its own. Yeah, no, it is, it’s always, it’s a concern the whole time. Christina: well, and I, I wouldn’t even necessarily, I mean, like, and I think it could be two things, right? I mean, like, you could have it live in two worlds where, like on the one hand it could be like the rendering engine to end all rendering engines and it can render, you know, files and any of them, and you can specify like whatever, like in, in, in like a tunnel or something. Like, you know, these files are, [00:56:00] are this format, these are these, and you know, maybe have some sort of, you know, um, something, even like a header files or whatever to be like, this is what this rendering engine is. Um, you know, with, with your projects to have it, uh, do that. Um. Or have it infer, you know, based on, on, on, um, the, the logic that you’re importing. But it could also be one of those things where you’re like, okay, I just have created like, you know, the omni syntax. And that’s a thing that maybe, maybe you get people to try to encourage or try, try to adopt, right? Like, it’s like, okay, you can always just use common mark. You can always just use GFM, you can always just use multi markdown, but we support these other things too, from these other, um, systems and you can intermix and match them. Um, because, because I, I do feel like at a certain point, like at least the way you’re running it yourself, you have your own syntax. Like, like, you know. Brett: yeah. No, you have perfectly encapsulated the, the major [00:57:00] design concern. And I think you’re correct. It can exist, it can be both things at once. Um, but I have like, nobody needs another markdown syntax. Like there are so many flavors right now. Okay. There may be a dozen. It’s not like an infinite number, but, but there’s enough that the confusion is real. Um, and we don’t need yet another markdown flavor, but we do need a universal processor that. Makes the differentiations less, but yeah, no, it’s, I need, I need to nail down that philosophy, uh, and really like, put it into writing and say, this is the design goal of this project, uh, which I have like hinted at, but I’m a scattered thinker and like, part of, part of the design philosophy is if someone says, Hey, [00:58:00] could you make this work? I just wanted a project where I could say, yeah, I’m gonna make that work. I, I, I’m gonna add this somewhat esoteric syntax and it’s just gonna work and it’s not gonna affect anything else. And you don’t have to use it, but if you do, there it is. So it’s kind of, it was designed to bloat to a circuit certain extent. Um, but yeah, I need to, I need to actually write a page That’s just the philosophy and really, really, uh, put, put all my thoughts together on that. Christina: Yeah, no, ’cause I was just kind of thinking, I was like, ’cause it’s so cool. Um, but the way that I would’ve envisioned using it, like I, I still like, it’s cool that you can mix all those things in together. I still feel like I probably wouldn’t because I’m not you. And so then I would just have like this additional dependency that it’s like, okay, if something happens to Apex one day and that’s the only thing that can render my documents, then like, you know what I mean? And, and, and if it’s not getting updated [00:59:00] anymore or whatever, then I’m kind of like SOL, um, Brett: Maku. Do you remember Maku? Christina: vaguely. Brett: It’s, the project is kind of dead and a lot of its syntax has been incorporated into various other processors. But if you built your whole blog on Maku, you have to, you have to be able to run like a 7-year-old binary, um, and, and it’ll never be updated, and eventually you’re gonna run into trouble. The nice thing about Unix based stuff is it’s. Has a, you can stop developing it and it’ll work for a decade, um, until, like, there’s a major shift in processors, but like, just the shift to arm. Like if, if Maku was only ever compiled for, uh, for, uh, Intel and it wasn’t open source, you would, it would be gone. You wouldn’t be able to run it anymore. So yeah, these things can happen. Christina: [01:00:00] Well, and I just even think about like, you know, the fact that like, you know, like some of the early processors, like I remember like back, I mean this is a million years ago, but having to use like certain, like pearl, you know, based things, you know, but depending on like whatever your backend system was, then you moved to PHP, they maybe you move, moved to, you know, Ruby, if you’re using like Jekyll and maybe you move to something else. And I was like, okay, you know, what will the thing be in the future? Yeah. If, if I, if it’s open source and there’s a way that, you know, you can write a new, a new processor for that, but it does create like, dependencies on top of dependencies, which is why I, I kind of feel like I like having like the omni processor. I don’t know if, like, for me, I’m like, okay, I, I would probably be personally leery about intermingling all my different syntaxes together. Brett: to that end though, that is why I wanted it in C um, because C will probably never die. C can be compiled on just about any platform. And it can be used with, like, if you have, if you have a Jekyll blog and you wanna [01:01:00] incorporate a C program into a gem, it’s no problem. Uh, you can incorporate it into just about any.

Tema del dia Arribem a l'episodi 200 al·lucinant d'haver-ne fet tants, però amb ganes de fer-ne 200 més. A l'episodi d'avui comentem algunes qüestions que ens heu preguntat, com ara si es pot dir "bon dia" també a la tarda, fem un aclariment de pronúncia sobre el dígraf "ny" i, finalment, parlem d'objectes que tenen un valor sentimental per a nosaltres. Som-hi! Premis Martí Gasull: vota'ns! Cançó "Tanca els ulls", de Txarango Bonus El Joan descriu (o intenta descriure) un objecte suposadament impossible d'endevinar. En podeu trobar una imatge a Discord! Transcripció Andreu: [0:15] Bon dia, Joan! Joan: [0:16] Bon dia! Andreu: [0:17] Bon dia o bon vespre. L'altre dia van preguntar a la comunitat, el Mike, va ser, diu: "Podem dir 'bon dia' tot el dia? O hem de dir 'bona tarda'? Es pot dir 'bon vespre'?" I és una pregunta una mica complexa. Tu què dius, quan saludes la gent a la tarda, per exemple? Què dius, "bon dia" o "bona tarda"? Joan: [0:37] Jo crec que dic "bon dia". El que passa que hi ha gent que et respon així com dient: "Deus voler dir 'bona tarda', no?" Andreu: [0:43] Ja. Clar, és això, que avui dia, en català, sí que es pot dir "bona tarda", no hi ha cap problema, està recollit al diccionari, però tradicionalment en català sempre hem dit "bon dia" fins que s'ha fet fosc. Es pot dir "bon dia" tot el dia, fins que es fa fosc. I clar, i ara, per aquesta influència del castellà, que en castellà diuen "buenas tardes", doncs quan dius "bon dia", per exemple, a les quatre de la tarda, hi ha gent que et diu: "No, no, ara ja és tarda", i tu: "No, també és 'bon dia'". Joan: [1:17] Bé, és un debat una mica estèril, no… Andreu: [1:20] Però per als aprenents jo crec que és interessant, no?, saber si es pot dir "bon dia"… Clar, perquè en altres, en castellà, en anglès, tu dius "buenos días" o "good morning" només al matí. En canvi, nosaltres també ho podem dir a la tarda. I tu dius "bon vespre"? Joan: [1:35] No, tot i que hi estic molt a favor, eh?, m'agrada. Soc més de dir "bona nit" quan ja és fosc, però "bon vespre" poder és més acurat. Andreu: [1:44] Clar, perquè ara a l'hivern, que es fa de nit, no ho sé, a les sis, a les sis de la tarda, tu dius "bona nit", a les sis? Ja, és estrany, no? Llavors és millor "bon vespre". Joan: [1:53] Sí. Andreu: [1:54] Jo també, hi estic d'acord. Molt bé, doncs Joan, tu ens vas dir aquí al pòdcast que tens molts cosins… Joan: [2:00] Sí. Andreu: [2:01] Llavors, espero que ja hagis demanat/ordenat als teus cosins que ens votin! Joan: [2:06] Sí, sí, sí, sí, sí, sí, sí, sí! A més a més em fa molta gràcia perquè, bé, la gent que no ho sàpiga, ens van nominar als Premis Martí Gasull en la categoria d'Innovació o (alguna cosa) així. Andreu: [2:17] Sí, ho vam explicar amb la Sílvia a l'episodi passat. Joan: [2:20] D'acord. I sí, sí, sí, els hi vaig escriure i… em fa molta gràcia, perquè vaig fer molt espam així per WhatsApp, i tothom em responia amb la imatge, saps? La imatge aquella de: "Ja has votat", no sé què. I jo: "D'acord, d'acord". Però he de dir que dels meus cosins només m'ho han enviat dos, no sé els altres si m'han ignorat o què. Andreu: [2:36] Dos de cinquanta? Ui, Joan… Joan: [2:37] No tinc cinquanta cosins. O sigui, en tinc vint-i-un, el que passa que un parell… doncs això. Andreu: [2:42] Ah, d'acord. Joan: [2:43] Saps? Et vaig dir que per Nadal... A veure, jo diria que ara… Andreu: [2:45] Ah, que sou cinquanta familiars, d'acord. Joan: [2:47] Sí, sí. O més. A veure, he de dir que el meu pare és un "spammer", saps aquests boomers que només fan que enviar i reenviar missatges? Andreu: [2:57] Sí. Joan: [2:57] Jo confio que ell ho hagi reenviat a molta gent. Andreu: [3:00] D'acord. Confiem en el Jordi… Joan: [3:02] I ja devem anar pels deu milions de vots, Andreu, més que habitants hi ha a Catalunya.

Tema del dia Avui, dia 8 de gener, comença la Marató de Donants de Sang a Catalunya, que durarà fins al dia 17. En aquest episodi, parlem amb el Marc Farran, ambaixador 2.0 del Banc de Sang i membre de la Federació Catalana de Donants de Sang. Amb ell resoldrem alguns dubtes habituals sobre la qüestió de donar sang: Cada quant es pot fer? Quines són les limitacions? Fa mal? Dura gaire? Consulta els punts de donació (https://www.bancsang.net/ca/) Si vas a donar sang, comparteix-ho a xarxes amb l'etiqueta @donarsang (i @easycatalanvideos) Com participar al Repte Gramatical de 14 Dies 1) Fes-te membre de la comunitat des de http://easycatalan.org/membership 2) Crea't un compte d'usuari a Discord (http://discord.com/) (gratuït) 3) Vincula un compte amb l'altre (2 clics) 4) Xerra i participa! L'expressió de la setmana cada gota omple la bota de gota en gota s'omple la bota Bonus Compartim algunes anècdotes personals com a donants de sang. Transcripció Andreu: [0:15] Bon dia, bona tarda, o bona nit, i benvinguts o bentornats al pòdcast d'Easy Catalan. Ja sé que molts de vosaltres trobeu a faltar la Sílvia aquí al pòdcast. Jo també. Com ja sabeu, va ser mare fa poc i per això últimament l'hem sentit menys. Però no patiu, perquè aviat tornarem a la normalitat, o a una certa normalitat, i la tindrem aquí més sovint. Avui tampoc m'acompanya el Joan. L'hem deixat descansant i practicant això de parlar a poc a poc. A veure si per al pròxim episodi ho hem aconseguit. I com que el mes passat no vam portar cap convidat, doncs ho fem avui! La persona que sentireu a continuació és un amic meu de tota la vida, de Lleida, però avui ve aquí al pòdcast per parlar-nos d'un tema molt important per al sistema sanitari i el conjunt de la societat. És una cosa que potser moltes persones no han fet mai encara, o ni tan sols ho han considerat, però de la qual molts de nosaltres ens en podem beneficiar en algun moment o altre de la nostra vida. Parlarem de donar sang. Sí, donar sang, aquest líquid vermell que ens corre per les venes. Però abans d'això, deixeu-me recordar que d'aquí una setmana i mitja començarem el Repte Gramatical de 14 Dies. Ens centrarem a practicar algunes expressions o estructures útils amb els pronoms febles "en" i "hi". De pronoms febles, ja ho sabeu, n'hi ha més, però volem centrar-nos en aquests dos perquè sovint són els que generen més dubtes o més confusió. Per tant, cada dia, durant 14 dies, al matí us proposarem una petita activitat per fer a Discord. Potser serà escriure un parell de frases, o gravar un àudio fent servir una expressió, o enviar una foto amb un comentari, però tot tindrà relació amb aquests dos pronoms febles. I al final del dia farem una breu conclusió per resumir el que hem après. Aquest repte està pensat per repassar conceptes bàsics sobre l'ús d'aquests pronoms, aprendre a utilitzar-los amb més seguretat i confiança i, així, fer que els pronoms febles deixin de ser el nostre punt feble. Andreu: [2:20] Aleshores, per participar-hi, simplement us heu de fer membres de la comunitat i accedir a Discord. Amb la subscripció més bàsica ja hi teniu accés. És molt fàcil. Primer cal entrar a easycatalan.org/membership i triar un nivell de subscripció. Després, anar a discord.com i crear un compte d'usuari. Això és un pas gratuït. I, finalment, vincular el compte de Discord amb la subscripció d'Easy Catalan, que són, simplement, dos clics. Tot ho teniu explicat a la descripció de l'episodi i també a la web que he dit. Llavors, si penseu que aquest Repte Gramatical us pot ajudar a millorar el vostre català, us proposo de fer pausa un moment, ara mateix, aturar el reproductor i fer aquests tres passos en menys de cinc minuts. D'aquesta manera també descobrireu com és la comunitat de la qual sempre parlem i alhora ens ajudareu a continuar aquest projecte, cosa que ens farà molt contents. Tema del dia Andreu: [3:21] I ara sí, us presento la persona que us he dit abans. Ell és el Marc, Farran per als amics o @FarryPimPam a les xarxes. I és, si no ho dic malament, ambaixador del Banc de Sang de Catalunya. Hola, Farran! Farran: [3:36] Hola, hola, bon dia! Andreu: [3:37] Benvingut! Com estàs? Farran: [3:39] Doncs molt bé. Molt bé, molt bé. Molt content d'estar aquí. Moltes gràcies! Andreu: [3:43] Clar, una cosa que no he dit és que tu, a part d'això d'ambaixador del Banc de Sang, que ara ens explicaràs, ets oient del pòdcast d'Easy Catalan! Però tu no ets aprenent de català. Llavors, és un honor també tenir alguna persona que no és el perfil prototípic dels oients d'Easy Catalan, no? Ets una d'aquestes… dels pocs nadius, potser, que ens escolten. Farran: [4:07] Però sempre es diu això, no?, que mai se neix amb tot après i mai deixem d'aprendre. Cada dia que escolto el pòdcast, i amb els vostres vídeos, doncs sempre… sempre aprenc coses noves i sempre enriqueix. Fes-te membre de la subscripció de pòdcast per accedir a les transcripcions completes, a la reproducció interactiva amb Transcript Player i a l'ajuda de vocabulari.
