PALESTINE AID LINKS
As the humanitarian crisis continues to unfold in Gaza, we encourage anyone who can to donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians. You can donate using the links below.
https://www.map.org.uk/donate/donate
https://www.savethechildren.org.uk/how-you-can-help/emergencies/gaza-israel-conflict
Currently, Aid is not getting through. You can donate with the knowledge that these funds will be used the instant Aid is allowed into Gaza, but please do make your voice heard in other ways about this. Showing up at protest marches and writing letters to elected MPs are useful acts of solidarity. Please encourage your elected representatives to support calls for a ceasefire, while still bearing in mind a ceasefire is temporary and represents the bare minimum.

Ryan comes back on the podcast this week to explain Jimmy Donaldson's – aka "Mr Beast"- new antic, which seems to involve ignoring local government protocol in East Africa to build wells and electricity pylons. Though presented as an altruistic act, Ryan explains how these stunts feed into the expansive "Mr Beast" brand, at a time when it looks like Donaldson is running out of ideas. Ryan also explains Donaldson's failed attempts to be accepted by mainstream culture and how, despite his massive following, it seems unlikely he'll ever make a break into mainstream TV.

Jacob (@JacobSilverman) comes on the pod this week to give us a brief overview of the rise and fall of 'non fungible tokens', the digital tokens that were supposed to usher in the blockchain-enabled economy and rejuvenate the art world. He tells us why NFTs were a scam from the very start, how it could have only emerged in the zero-percent interest rate climate, and what's happened to the tech companies who went all in on the Bored Apes.

We're joined by friend of the show Roisin Kiberd, to talk about Fragrantica, the online perfume community where there is hardly any politics, endless threads on perfumes, and regular questions along the lines of what perfume you should wear to go to a funeral. Roisin talks to us about an article she wrote on Fragrantica, and the need for a re-siloed Internet, filled with nice distractions during times of crisis.

Hussein talks to author and journalist Kim Mcintosh about her recent Guardian article about SheaSeven, a Youtuber with a mass following, known for giving out cynical dating advice. Kim talks about how Sheaseven uses her channel to explain how romance should be considered transactional, and the ways in which she believes women should lean into patriarchal standards in order to leverage power against their male partners. Kim explains how Sheaseven's advice should be understood in the context of austerity, and the effects it has had on millennials and Gen Z'ers, and why we must cultivate a culture of caregiving in order to foster and maintain healthier relationships.

This week, Hussein speaks to author and New Yorker columnist Kyle Chayka about his recent New Yorker article "Why The Internet Isn't Fun Anymore". Kyle explains how the take-over by platforms in the late Aughts and 2010's expanded the internet's regular audience, and turned users into producers and consumers simultaneously – making the internet a place where you were expected to work, and have fun, at the same time. With no signs of that changing, Kyle explains how he's adopted a more conscious, and selective approach to going online, and how he's returned to tradition through the medium of bootlegged flash games.
