Brace is funny but also kinda annoying when he's on CTH. I really like Liv Agar tho.

nah it's the most recent ep with Osita Nwanevu, who is a contributing editor at The New Republic and a columnist at The Guardian according to his website. book's tagline is "Democracy and the Case for a New American Founding" which sounds like some dull constitution-worshipping shit. having Sirota on was completely awful too. i listened to Chapo for slop not for book promotional interviews.

thanks, that's a good rec, i live in the UK and used to enjoy it. However they're all so incredibly posh and i got into an argument with november on twitter a while ago and i can't stomach listening to it since then unfortunately. also that ep of Britainology where they reviewed the Top Gear US episode and the American was whining so much about their light ribbing of the US south was super annoying.

yeah it'd be very unfeasible

They take advantage of the Seebeck effect which is where a voltage is generated between two points in a conducting material when there's a temperature difference between them. Basically the nuclear material heats one piece of metal in the circuit, while another remains cold, and this produces a potential difference between the two that drives current through the circuit. Because space is very cold and nuclear materials are very hot, this produces a useful quantity of current. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioisotope_thermoelectric_generator

keep hearing that marketing is being completely wiped out as a career due to the rise of AI, and tbh, i don't give a shit. useless career that doesn't need to exist anyway.

germany should arrest itself for antisemitism

I'd make a comparison to WW1 and the war propaganda that was spread around at the time - portraying the Germans as vicious apes, theremoved of Belgium, that kind of thing. The German army absolutely engaged in war crimes during their advance - so did basically every army during that war. Does that justify the murder of millions of people and the ruination of entire generations? Of course not, particularly when you consider that every participant in the war was a colonial empire. The same, essentially, is true of the war in Europe today. We should not be sacrificing hundreds of thousands, millions of people to this horrific war just because NATO and Russia, both neoliberal capitalist entities with imperial ambitions, are in a dick-measuring contest where the prize is the right to exploit Ukraine's resources.
