Tema del dia Hem guanyat el premi a la innovació dels Premis Martí Gasull 2026 i això ha estat gràcies a tots vosaltres, la nostra audiència. Moltíssimes gràcies a tots els que ens heu votat! ❤️ En aquest episodi expliquem com va ser la gala i com la vam viure. Podeu veure el vídeo de l'esdeveniment a: Gala de la 13a edició dels Premis Martí Gasull (3Cat) Plataforma per la Llengua Guanyadors i nominats La Bressola, xarxa d'escoles d'immersió en català a la Catalunya Nord (Premi Martí Gasull 2026) Cavall Fort, revista infantil en català Centre Artesà Tradicionàrius, centre cultural que treballa per recuperar i promoure la música tradicional La Sotana, pòdcast sobre el Barça CatLletres, projecte de divulgació de música en català Grups musicals Grup de l'Alguer: Gionta i Riccardo (Instagram) Grup de Mallorca: Fades Bonus Fem una mica de safareig sobre coses que van passar durant la gala i la festa. Transcripció Toni Cruanyes (TV3): [0:10] I precisament sobre normalització del català, aquest vespre s'han lliurat els Premis Martí Gasull i Roig, que reconeixen persones o entitats que hagin destacat en la defensa o la promoció del català. Són uns guardons que arriben a la tretzena edició i que ha seguit des de Barcelona Vanessa Petit. Vanessa Petit: [0:25] Fer sentir l'accent ha estat el lema d'aquesta edició, que ens recorda que el futur del català depèn en bona mesura de la implicació social i també del seu ús en tots els àmbits de la vida quotidiana. Però pel que fa als guardons, hi havia tres categories, dues de les quals s'han decidit amb el vot popular. El premi Martí Gasull ha recaigut en la xarxa educativa La Bressola, que promou l'ús del català a la Catalunya Nord i que s'enfrontava en aquest cas a dues candidatures molt fortes, com són Cavall Fort o també el Centre Artesà Tradicionàrius. Pel que fa a la innovació, en aquesta categoria ha guanyat el projecte Easy Catalan, que vol ensenyar el català a persones que no el parlen i ho fa a través de continguts audiovisuals amb entrevistes pel carrer. Aquesta categoria explora noves vies de promoció del català i també hi havia com a candidates el pòdcast La Sotana i el creador de contingut CatLletres. Per últim, el Premi Especial del Jurat, que ha recaigut en l'activista i exsíndic de l'Alguer Carlo Secchi, per la seva trajectòria en defensa del català a l'Alguer. Sílvia: [1:39] Bravo! Sílvia: [1:39] Enhorabona a tothom! Andreu: [1:43] Bon dia, Sílvia! Bon dia, Joan! Sílvia: [1:45] Bon dia, Andreu! Bon dia, Joan! Andreu: [1:49] Avui, episodi superespecial, perquè hi som els tres, això no ho havíem fet mai encara. Joan: [1:54] No! Sílvia: [1:55] Però és que avui s'ho val. Andreu: [1:57] Avui s'ho val. Joan: [1:58] Serà un guirigall. Andreu: [1:59] Sí, no sé… no sé com sortirà, això d'avui, perquè, de fet, no hi ha guió, tampoc. Sílvia: [2:04] No ens cal. Joan: [2:05] No ens cal. No ens ha calgut mai. Andreu: [2:08] Però bé, som aquí per celebrar una mica això que ha passat aquesta setmana, aquest dilluns. Joan: [2:13] Ahir! Andreu: [2:14] Ahir! Estem gravant dimarts, per tant, va ser ahir. Doncs això, va ser la gala dels Premis Martí Gasull. En vam parlar uns quants dies aquí al pòdcast, no? Vam fer campanya perquè ens votéssiu… Joan: [2:25] Sí, sí, sí, sí… Andreu: [2:25] I per tant… Sílvia: [2:25] Moltes gràcies a tothom per votar-nos! Andreu: [2:28] Exacte. O sigui, hem de donar unes gràcies immenses a tots vosaltres, perquè si hem aconseguit guanyar aquest premi, és gràcies a vosaltres! No hi havia un jurat que decidia el guanyador, sinó que era una votació popular. Sílvia: [2:40] I hem guanyat! Joan: [2:40] Ueee!

És la sopa casolana per excel·lència. És fàcil de fer, saborosa, assequible i ve molt de gust quan fa fred. És un plat antic, de sempre, però ens agrada... La qüestió és: el caldo de pollastre alimenta? És veritat que va bé quan estem refredats? I quan es tracta de caldo precuinat? I de sobre? En fi, un munt de preguntes que respondrem en aquest pòdcast. Perquè fins i tot els plats més senzills tenen la seva complexitat. Si t'agrada la sopa, ens has d'escoltar!

Ha estat molt feliç en el paper de Reina infantil, un paper que desitjava fort però que va rebre amb sorpresa en el moment de la presentació i que ha gaudit al màxim. Forma part de la colla infantil del Prado formada per una quarantena de nenes que cada any s'encarrega d'aquest personatge i que té com a responsables la Jana Argilagós i la Sol Queral. Hem conversat amb la Greta sobre l'experiència de ser Reina infantil i sobre la passió pel ball que entre d'altres té gràcies a la Sol Queral amb qui també hem conversat sobre l'organització i el paper de la colla.

Ha estat un molt bon cap de setmana de Carnaval. Fins i tot, el divendres les colles van fer tot el possible per a complir amb els compromisos, malgrat la pluja, i la rua d'antes va sortir empesa per la voluntat de la gentada que esperava, tot i que la comissió es va plantejar suspendre-la. Amb el president de la comissió de Carnaval, Carles Garcia, hem valorat els diferents actes i canvis de tot el cap de setmana, però, en resum, poques coses caldrà polir de cara a dimarts. L'entrada Carles Garcia fa un molt bon balanç del cap de setmana de Carnaval ha aparegut primer a Radio Maricel.

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!

Ígor Díez ha complert un somni. El lloretenc ha aconseguit acabar el Rally de Lloret com a pilot. Aquesta era la tercera vegada que ho intentava, ja que en les dues edicions anteriors va tenir problemes que li van impedir finalitzar el ral·li. Aquest cop, va travessar la meta, però no sense haver tingut alguns ensurts al llarg del cap de setmana. El primer va ser en el tram de nit de dissabte. “Al tram de nit anàvem bastant bé i abans d'arribar a Cala Salions, en una curva hi havia molta sorra a l'asfalt i se me'n va anar el cotxe i en aquell moment vaig pensar que me n'anava contra la paret i que s'acabava el cotxe, s'acabava el ral·li i s'acabava tot”  Ígor Díez Ígor Díez i Albert Salmoral durant el ral·li De cara a diumenge, va ser la primera vegada que corria a Osor, però l'equip el va animar perquè a Cladells premés l'accelerador i baixés una mica els temps. Així ho va fer, fins que va començar a sentir cops dins del motor. “Ens vam espantar, van aparèixer fantasmes per tot arreu  i, sincerament, fins que no vam arribar a la riera de Lloret ni en Samu ni jo no vam celebrar res”Ígor Díez Després dels ensurts, Ígor Díez, amb Albert Salmoral (Samu) de copilot, va arribar a la meta i va aconseguir quedar 44è de la classificació general i segon de la seva categoria (XA), a banda de rebre el reconeixement com a millor pilot lloretenc en aquesta 13a edició del Rally de Lloret. Tot i que posar-se al volant és la seva passió, per ara se centrarà en fer de copilot a totes les proves que pugui en el que queda de temporada i, si no surten pilots, agafarà la càmera i anirà a les cunetes a fer fotografies, la seva altra gran passió.

El Prado traurà al carrer 14 colles a La Disbauxa i l'Extermini i 7 a les rues infantils però més enllà de les rues de diumenge i dimarts el Prado centra bona part dels esforços en altres actes com la Cursa de Llits de dissabte 14 de febrer al matí que enguany comptarà amb quaranta llits participants, una xifra límit per mantenir el recorregut i el model actual, o com el XXVIII Concurs de Mestres Xatonaires d'aquest diumenge dia 8 de febrer, que se celebrarà aquest diumenge als Jardins del Prado amb també un aforament complert de participants. Qui un any més ha fet sold-out és el Carrusel en els dos shows previstos per dijous gras i per dissabte de Carnaval i que un any més realitzarà repeticions passada la festa. El Prado és també el responsable de La Reina infantil i aquest any una colla de l'entitat, La Salsa del Xató, organitza La Reina del Carnaval que es presentarà a Sitges aquest dissabte dia 7 a les 19h a l'Ajuntament però per a qui en vulgui gaudir de l'acte sense fred el Prado obrirà el saló teatre des d'on es podrà seguir la transmissió en directe. Per Sandra Rubí, la Presidenta de la Comissió del Carnaval del Prado, el Carnaval viu un bon estat de salut i mira amb bons ulls l'augment d'il·luminació a les rues i la centralització del so al punt de la televisió però també demana revisar alguns moments complicats com l'arribada de les carrosses pel carrer Sant Francesc. En referència al protocol, en stand by després que el ple no l'aprovés definitivament, Rubí lamenta la interferència dels polítics en un assumpte que comptava amb una feina intensa per part d'un grup de sitgetans de manera altruista. L'entrada Sandra Rubí, Presidenta de la Comissió del Carnaval del Prado: “hi ha d’haver unes regles de joc on tothom s’hi trobi bé. La gent que vam treballar en el protocol vam quedar molt decebuts” ha aparegut primer a Radio Maricel.

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

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.

Aquest 2026 es preveu que es detectin més de 8.000 casos nous de càncer en persones d'entre 20 i 39 anys. D'aquests, gairebé 5.000 serien dones i més de 3.000, homes. Aquesta dada alarmant l'apunta l'últim informe de la Societat Espanyola d’Oncologia Mèdica. Per sensibilitzar la població sobre aquesta malaltia i fomentar-ne la prevenció i la detecció precoç, aquest dimecres, 4 de febrer, es commemora el Dia Mundial contra el Càncer. L'estudi apunta que el càncer de mama representarà el 20% dels casos entre adults joves i el de tiroides, el 13,4. L’augment de casos entre aquest segment de la població es relaciona amb el consum d’aliments ultraprocessats, l’obesitat, disfuncions de la microbiota i un ús excessiu d’antibiòtics. Malgrat aquestes previsions alarmants, la presidenta de l'Associació Contra el Càncer de Lloret, Cristina Pané, assenyala que cada cop es millora més en la supervivència i l'objectiu és que el 2030 sigui d'un 70%. “És veritat que gràcies a la conscienciació, el càncer es detecta més aviat, però també és veritat que pel camí perdem molts homes i dones i és preocupant”, afegeix Pané. “La nostra proposta és que el 2030 arribem amb un 70% de supervivència, però això no vol dir que l'altre 30% el deixem pel camí, és veritat que les dades són molt preocupants”Cristina Pané D'altra banda, La Societat Espanyola d'Oncologia Mèdica recull dades de la incidència del càncer a l'estat el 2024. En aquest sentit, una de les conclusions destacades és que el càncer de pulmó ja és el que provoca més morts en dones i supera per primera vegada el de mama. El 2024, van morir 6.691 dones per càncer de pulmó (el 14% de totes les morts per tumors entre les dones), una xifra lleugerament superior a les 6.563 que ho van fer per tumors de mama (que representen un 13,7%). L'explicació que s'hi dona és que les dones incorporessin l'hàbit de fumar dècades més tard que els homes. Com diem, aquest dimecres, 4 de febrer, es commemora el Dia Mundial contra el Càncer. Una jornada impulsada per la Unió Internacional per al Control del Càncer, amb el suport de l'Organització Mundial de la Salut. Amb motiu d'aquesta commemoració, l'Associació Contra el Càncer de Lloret organitza una sèrie d'activitats. Entre altres coses, des d'aquest dimecres fins diumenge, la façana de l'Ajuntament s'il·luminarà de color verd. “Il·luminarem l'Ajuntament per conscienciar i per donar visibilitat i que la gent se n'adoni i vegin que ens hem de cuidar per poder posar fre a aquesta malaltia tan terrible”Cristina Pané Més enllà de Lloret, aquests dies s'il·luminaran edificis emblemàtics d'arreu de Catalunya i de l'estat. Una altra iniciativa és la campanya La compra de la teva vida, que es durà a terme del 6 al 15 de febrer. En el cas de Lloret, hi col·laboren els supermercats Consum i Dia i tots els donatius que es recullin s'adreçaran a la lluita contra el càncer. “Les caixeres et diran que arrodoneixis la compra o l'ampliïs amb el donatiu que vulguis i aquests diners serviran per ajudar els malalts de càncer i les seves famílies i per posar una mica de fre en aquesta malaltia tan terrible”Cristina Pané Cristina Pané recorda que, a banda d'aquestes activitats puntuals, l'associació continua donant suport i acompanyant els malalts i les seves famílies. Un dels serveis destacats és el que ofereix la psicooncòloga Rosanna Garrigós a l'Hospital de Blanes i sociosanitari de Lloret. A més, segueix el suport a les dones amb les activitats que l'associació fa en col·laboració amb Punt d'Equilibri: el taller de pintura (dilluns de 18 a 19 hores), i el de moviment conscient (divendres de 19.15 a 20.15 hores), a càrrec d'una noia que també ha passat la malaltia. D'altra banda, l'associació de Lloret va col·laborar aquest diumenge amb l'organització de la Cursa contra el Càncer de Girona, amb gairebé 2.000 participants. Una cursa que diumenge vinent es farà a Vilafant.

El primer ple del 2026 aprovà impulsar una moratòria en la tramitació de llicències d'obra en terrenys amb clau hotelera mixta (hotelera-residencial i sanitària-assistencial) per a obrir un periode que serveixi per a modificar l'article 82 del pla general -que fa referència a la definició dels usos d'habitatges i activitats- amb l'objectiu d'evitar la proliferació de noves modalitats d'habitatge que no responen a l'esperit de la norma. Així, l'Ajuntament ha pogut constatar l'existència de propostes que aprofiten les escletxes legals en l'actual normativa per iniciar promocions amb una probable intenció especulativa. El debat també posà sobre la taula, tot i que no era l'objectiu del dictamen, l'assumpte dels habitatges d'ús turístic, que a Sitges es comptabilitzen en un nombre proper als 1700, quelcom que la majoria de grups polítics qualificaren d'excessiu. Us oferim la crònica del ple. L'entrada El ple aprova una moratòria de llicències d’obra -en àmbits molt concrets- per permetre una modificació del POUM que eviti les promocions d’habitatge amb intenció especulativa ha aparegut primer a Radio Maricel.

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.

Els Marcs es fan amb l'antena de ràdio arrels per parlar de girafes, elefants, de les eleccions a Namíbia i compres online. Jo em quedaria fins al final del programa, perquè hi ha una molt honorable entrevista. 

Molt pendents de Gelida, on hi ha hagut un accident de tren a la l

A la seu del Grup d'Estudis Sitgetans es va presentar ahir el quart volum dels Quaderns d'història editats pel Casal de Vilafranca, i que ha estat dedicat a Janio Marti. El llibre, escrit per la periodista Vilafranquina Imma Pulido -amb una prèvia contextualització històrica de Manel Güell sobre el paper social i cultural dels balls de saló- repassa la vida professional i personal d'en Janio a partir de fonts documentals i de més de 60 entrevistes a persones que el conegueren o que treballaren amb ell. La presentació comptà amb Imma Pulido i Manel Güell, acompanyats pel musicòleg vilafranquí Joan Cuscó i del testimoni d'en Carles Sánchez, qui va formar part del Harlem Group, la primera formació del músic. L'acte fou introduït pel president del Grup d'Estudis Jordi Milà. Si us interessa el llibre al Janio's Bar en podeu trobar exemplars. L'entrada La vida d’en Janio explicada pels qui el van conèixer. Es presenta ‘Janio Marti, molt més que una orquestra’ d’Imma Pulido ha aparegut primer a Radio Maricel.

Demà comencen les classes a l'escola Pia, però als instituts Vinyet i Benaprès els alumnes de 3r i 4t d'ESO ja han començat a participar de la iniciativa 'Jo Jove', una assignatura impulsada per la colla Jove dels Castellers de Sitges, amb la implicació dels centres i de l'Ajuntament, que vol acostar alguns dels valors que fonamenten el mon dels castells, com el treball en equip, l'esforç o l'oci saludable. La coordinadora del projecte, Anna Aguila, es mostra molt satisfeta per la receptivitat que ha tingut la proposta entre els joves i els equips docents dels centres, així com de la participació dels membres de la colla que, voluntàriament, dediquen unes quantes hores a ajudar en el desenvolupament d'aquesta formació. El mes de maig es viurà una diada castellera amb la participació de les colles dels diferents centres. L'entrada El projecte ‘Jo jove’ avança amb molt bones sensacions. En parlem amb la seva coordinadora, Anna Aguila ha aparegut primer a Radio Maricel.

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.

“…and today we’re talking about little bird blue, but more on that later.” As seasons change, so do many animals. New coats, sloughed skin, fresh molts–even humans don't wear white after labor day. For most, it's a gradual process that can be a challenge, but makes way for growth. For some, it can be dangerous, […]

Tema del dia S'acosta Nadal i, per això, cal tornar a un dels nostres temes preferits per aquestes dates: el tronc que caga, o tió de Nadal! En aquest episodi, el Joan i l'Andreu parlen de com han viscut al llarg de la vida aquesta tradició i de com eren els tions a casa seva. Som-hi! Apunta't als pròxims cursos i classes de català! (https://classes.easycatalan.org/) Practica i canta la cançó del tió de Nadal (https://statics.3cat.cat/multimedia/pdf/8/8/1639654406388.pdf) Paraules i expressions interessants: - "guirigall": Quan moltes persones parlen alhora i fan molt soroll. - "xivarri": Soroll provocat per un grup de persones, per exemple un grup de nens jugant. - "ser una olla de grills": Quan hi ha molt soroll i tothom parla i crida i no es pot entendre res. Bonus Següent polèmica: Quin tipus de regals pot cagar el tió? Quins regals no hauria de cagar? Transcripció Andreu: [0:15] Bon dia, Joan! Joan: [0:16] Bon dia! Andreu: [0:17] Com va? Joan: [0:18] Bé, anar fent, i tu? Andreu: [0:19] Bé, prou bé. Bé, en realitat, a veure... Joan: [0:22] Vull rectificar. Andreu: [0:24] Sí, he de rectificar, perquè no estic… no he acabat de fer net amb el refredat aquest, o sigui, estic allò arrossegant-lo, saps? Joan: [0:33] Quina merda. Andreu: [0:33] Sí, un pal. Però bé, ja millor, anant de mica en mica cap a millor. Joan: [0:39] D'acord. Andreu: [0:39] Escolta, ja, d'aquí no res, d'aquí una setmana és Nadal! Joan: [0:41] Sí. Andreu: [0:42] Ja esteu preparant coses? No ho sé, regals… Sabeu més o menys com passareu les festes, a on, amb qui…? Joan: [0:49] En principi, bastant. Sí, està tot bastant controlat. Andreu: [0:53] Molt bé. Joan: [0:54] Vols saber-ho o què? Andreu: [0:55] Clar, però això ho pregunto. Joan: [0:57] Ah, no sé… Andreu: [1:02] Jo i els oients tenim curiositat. Joan: [1:05] D'acord, d'acord. No, això em recorda a quan fem els vídeos d'entrevistes del carrer, que diem: "Tu estàs a favor o en contra de no-sé-què? - A favor." I tu: "Sí, però per què? O sigui, explica-ho, desenvolupa-ho una mica, explica!" Doncs, en principi, aquest Nadal, o sigui, els regals i això a casa sempre és una cosa molt senzilla, no fem grans regals, normalment, i em sembla que estan comprats tots. Falta alguna coseta, però ja està tot… És que són coses molt senzilles, a casa. Andreu: [1:35] Molt bé, que previsors. Joan: [1:36] Sí, sí, sí. I en relació al que farem per les festes, més o menys cada any fem el mateix, i aquest any el que farem és que la nit del 24 al 25 farem com un sopar, crec, a casa els pares de la Sílvia. El dia 25, que és el dia de Nadal, com si diguéssim, perquè... no sé tu si celebres la nit aquesta, però vaja, nosaltres, la meva família, no ho celebràvem gaire. Andreu: [1:58] La nit del... del 25, vols dir? Joan: [2:01] Del 24 al 25. Andreu: [2:02] Ah, jo, la del 24 al 25 fèiem un sopar, els de casa, però simplement els de casa, no?, i no sé, potser hi havia alguna cosa més bona de l'habitual, doncs, jo què sé, sopàvem gambes o una escudella, o no ho sé, i després, el dia de Nadal, sí que ens ajuntàvem potser també amb els avis, amb alguns tiets… Joan: [2:21] Bé, quan era petit sí que recordo que el 24 al 25 anàvem a casa una tieta, normalment, però era com una cosa que no era gaire important, saps?, era un sopar que te'l podies saltar, no era un sopar important. Andreu: [2:31] Sí, a casa nostra també. Joan: [2:33] En canvi, crec que els castellans… és com que és el dia més important, crec, la nit aquesta. Però bé. I aleshores crec que sí que amb la família de la Sílvia, també vindrà el seu germà, amb els nebots, serem una colla, jo què sé, poder deu, no gaires, però uns quants, i després, l'endemà, sí que anirem amb la meva família, que aleshores ens hem de desplaçar, perquè haurem d'anar a Cornellà, que està al costat de Barcelona, que és una hora i mitja de viatge. Serà el viatge més llarg que farem des de que va néixer la Meritxell, amb la Meritxell, perquè la presentarem a la família, una mica, perquè és una família estesa, com si diguéssim, perquè el meu pare... Andreu: [3:08] Tens molts cosins i això, no? Joan: [3:09] Sí, són deu germans, tinc dinou cosins, aleshores... amb les parelles, ara és una festa que poder som cinquanta, seixanta, jo què sé quants serem aquest any. I sí, serà… bé. El que passa que suposo que el que farem és que en comptes d'anar-hi i quedar-nos a fer totes les sobretaules, suposo que arribarem, dinarem i marxarem. Bé, no sé, no sé com anirà. Andreu: [3:30] Bé, teniu l'excusa perfecta per marxar abans, no? Vull dir, que a més és real, si la nena necessita descansar i vosaltres també. Joan: [3:38] Aleshores, aquest any el Sant Esteve també el farem a casa dels pares de la Sílvia, no el farem al Sant Esteve amb la meva família, que també fan un superdinar. Andreu: [3:45] Clar, ara has esmentat Sant Esteve i potser hi ha gent que ens escolta que no ho sap, no?, que Sant Esteve, el dia després del dia de Nadal, o sigui, el dia 26, és un festiu a Catalunya. Joan: [3:56] Sí. Andreu: [3:56] A diferència de la resta de l'Estat. Ara no sé segur si a les Illes Balears i al País Valencià també ho és… Joan: [4:02] Ho desconec. Però al món anglosaxó també fan festa, no? Andreu: [4:06] Sí, em penso que sí. I aquí, doncs, Sant Esteve és un dia més en el qual ens reunim per menjar. O sigui, mengem el 24 a la nit, tot i això que hem dit, no?, que mai ha sigut com… tan important com, per exemple, a la resta de l'Estat espanyol. Joan: [4:20] És curiós, perquè a Sant Esteve mengem les sobres del 25, no?, tradicionalment. No sé a casa teva com ho feu. Andreu: [4:26] Sí, teòricament, no?, el 26, per Sant Esteve, es mengen canelons fets amb la carn que va sobrar del brou de l'escudella. Joan: [4:35] Exacte. Sí, sí. I doncs, bé, a casa fem així, eh?, o sigui, és com… per desgràcia, encara, les do… algunes dones de la família, per desgràcia, vull dir, perquè és una mica masclista, però sí, encara funciona així, agafen i el dia després, o fins i tot el dia de Nadal a la tarda, vinga, a fer canelons a sac, saps?, per quaranta persones. Andreu: [4:56] Buah, deu-n'hi-do. 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.

It's that time of year when we gather together with friends from near and far, indulge in seasonal treats, and take a lighthearted look at the stories that are rounding out these past 12 wild months. It's our annual Christmas extravaganza (

Tema del dia La Sílvia avui ens proposa parlar sobre aquelles preocupacions que tenim en relació amb el propi cos: la forma del nas o els llavis, el nostre pes, els nostres cabells, les nostres pigues... Tot allò que sovint ens avergonyeix quan, en realitat, ens fa únics i especials. Som-hi! Bonus Continuem la conversa i ens centrem en els típics comentaris sobre el físic que ens fan sovint coneguts i familiars. Transcripció Sílvia: [0:15] Bon dia, Andreu! Andreu: [0:16] Bon dia, Sílvia! Sílvia: [0:17] Com anem? Andreu: [0:18] Tot bé. Sílvia: [0:19] Sí? Andreu: [0:19] Tot bé, amb gana. Encara no he esmorzat, però... Sílvia: [0:22] Apa! Encara no has esmorzat? Jo ja fa estona que he esmorzat. Andreu: [0:25] Bé, he esmorzat una mica, molt poquet, però he de fer el segon esmorzar. Sílvia: [0:28] Ah, d'acord. Andreu: [0:30] Tu no fas segon esmorzar? Sílvia: [0:31] Sí, clar! Jo en dic "resmorzó". Andreu: [0:33] "Resmorzó". Està bé, m'agrada. Sílvia: [0:36] Sí. A mig matí. A mig matí, un resmorzó. Home, va bé per acabar d'aguantar fins a l'hora de dinar. Andreu: [0:41] Clar, és que… recordem que aquí dinem tard. Bé, a casa vostra dineu prou aviat, no? A la una o així? Sílvia: [0:47] Sí, dos quarts de dues, però sí. Andreu: [0:49] Sí, està bé, està bé. Jo solc dinar més cap a les dos, quarts de tres... Sílvia: [0:55] Uf! Andreu: [0:56] Tres... Sílvia: [0:56] Vaja! Andreu: [0:57] Sí. Llavors, clar... Sílvia: [0:59] Ja començo a patir. Andreu: [1:02] Sí, sí. Sílvia: [1:03] O sigui, quan es fan les tres ja estic una mica que mossego. Andreu: [1:06] Ah, és veritat, és veritat. Tu et poses de mal humor quan tens gana. Sílvia: [1:10] Molt. Andreu: [1:10] Jo no quan tinc gana, sinó quan he dormit malament. O sigui, si no dormo bé, l'endemà estic de molt mala lluna. I això t'ho pot certificar el Jesús. No, tothom no, perquè davant de persones que no tinc tanta confiança, doncs faig l'esforç de... Sílvia: [1:31] Ah! Fas el cor fort? Andreu: [1:32] Intento que no es noti tant, però amb qui tinc tota la confiança és com... Sílvia: [1:36] S'ho menja tot. Molt bé, "estupendo". Sílvia: [1:37] Zero filtres. Sí, sí. Sap greu, però és així. Sílvia: [1:40] És així, la vida. Andreu: [1:41] És així. Sílvia: [1:41] Sempre diuen que els que viuen amb tu els hauries de tractar com companys de feina, vull dir, amb respecte, que no els hi gosaries dir les coses de qualsevol manera, no? Però molt bonica la teoria, molt complicada la pràctica. Andreu: [1:53] Ja… Però jo gairebé que tractava més els companys de feina com a parella que no al revés. Sílvia: [2:00] Ah, vaja! Andreu: [2:02] Bé, però perquè teníem confiança. És allò que diuen que la confiança fa pudor, fa fàstic, no? Sílvia: [2:07] Sí. Andreu: [2:07] Bé, en fi.

Tema del dia Després d'unes setmanes sense parlar, el Joan i l'Andreu es posen al dia: viatges, mudances, obres... Parlem també de la Fira del Llibre de Guadalajara i d'una nova obsessió de l'Andreu: els noms de pobles i ciutats catalans. Som-hi! Inscripcions obertes als pròxims cursos de català! Les classes comencen el 7 de gener. (https://classes.easycatalan.org/) Bonus L'Andreu explica algunes anècdotes del seu viatge a l'Argentina. Transcripció Andreu: [0:15] Bon dia, Joan! Joan: [0:16] Bon dia, Andreu! Andreu: [0:18] Ui, ja començo malament. Bé, estic malalt. Joan: [0:29] T'anava a dir: "Com estàs?", perquè fa dues setmanes que no parlem, però ja ho veig. Andreu: [0:35] Sí. Vaig tornar del viatge malalt, de fet vaig estar dos terceres parts del viatge amb un refredat molt fort, que va començar com si fos una grip, perquè vaig estar dos o tres dies així amb febre, llavors la cosa va… es va suavitzar i vaig estar molts dies amb mucositat i tos, i els tres últims dies altre cop amb febre i molta tos, i al final va ser una bronquitis. Llavors, aquesta setmana he estat que no servia per a res i encara m'estic recuperant. Joan: [1:05] Però el viatge va anar bé o no vas poder-ne gaudir? Andreu: [1:08] Sí! No, sí, sí, ho vam fer tot, gràcies a la medicina, a la ciència, als (ibuprofens) i paracetamols. Sí, vam fer totes les excursions, vam veure les glaceres… bé, la més famosa és el Perito Moreno. Joan: [1:22] Perquè vas explicar que anaves a l'Argentina, en episodis anteriors? Andreu: [1:25] Crec que sí, que vaig dir que anava a l'Argentina. Potser el que no vaig dir va ser que anava concretament a la part del sud, de la Patagònia, que són tot paratges naturals brutals. Joan: [1:36] Preciosos. Molt bé. Andreu: [1:38] I, vull dir, molts llacs, moltes muntanyes… A la part del Calafate, que és com més o menys al mig de la Patagònia, és tot… bé, a l'Argentina hi ha molt territori que és estepa, no?, que és com desert, pràcticament, no hi ha res. I llavors tu estàs allà, veus l'estepa, que és tot més o menys pla, no hi ha pràcticament vegetació i tal, i de cop tens els Andes, bum!, muntanyes, saps? O sigui, no és com aquí que tenim el Prepirineu, que comença a haver-hi una mica de muntanyes, que es van fent més altes, més altes… Joan: [2:11] O sigui, és com si de cop pugés una muntanya allà a l'horitzó enorme, no? Andreu: [2:15] Sí, sí, sí. O sigui, tu estàs al desert i, de cop, muntanyes nevades. És molt curiós. I els llacs també són impressionants… Hi ha un llac que es diu Lago Argentino, que té un color blau cel, però un blau superclar, que es veu que és pels sediments de les glaceres, que generen a l'erosionar la roca, no?, perquè, clar, tot aquell gel, que és neu compactada, però és gel, diguéssim, doncs fa això, una erosió de la roca, que després deixa unes partícules en suspensió a l'aigua que no acaben mai de precipitar. I llavors té aquest color com... és com un… sí, un blau molt molt claret, no ho sé, molt curiós. Joan: [2:56] Que curiós. Andreu: [2:57] I després, més al sud, a Ushuaia, que en diuen "el fin del mundo", la Tierra de Fuego, doncs allà vam veure pingüins, lleons marins, també, vam veure còndors… Joan: [3:09] Molt bé, molt bé. Andreu: [3:10] Buà, va ser… va ser molt molt guai.

Twin Cities Live's Elizabeth Ries gave us an update on her flock and made a pretty good argument for why The Packers need to exist, plus WAYMO is testing out driverless cars in the Metro, would you ride in one?
