-   I watched [[Joker]] last night.  It was undoubtedly well made.  Joaquin Phoenix is a fantastic actor.  The eat the rich vibe I am on board with, but it had a kind of incel vibe too that was unpleasant.

-   Season 2 of [[node club]] has begun!
    -   This week I took a little look at [[Agroecology]].  Some notes from [[Jayu]] on it helped me to form an initial gut feeling that [[I like agroecology]].

-   There was a good chat on [[Agora discuss]] yesterday about wikilinks, tags, and [[wikilinks vs tags]].
    -   And with impeccable timing the latest issue of [[Gordon Brander]]'s newsletter is on the topic: [[All you need is links]].
    -   There was a lot of nuance from the chat yesterday, but I think the conclusion was along the lines of: sometimes it's useful to have one-directional links, and this is what tags are.  You can do that with wikilinks fine, but having a specific syntax for them enables filtering them out of other views (e.g. graph views).

-   `org-publish-current-file` feels slower to me.  Since updating to org-roam v2.2.0?
    -   Newly created nodes don't seem to be getting registered in id locations.
    -   If I run `org-roam-update-org-id-locations` then it's OK.  But I don't want to have to do that for every new node.

-   Reading the news.
    -   [[Britain's welfare system is "unfit for purpose" and in urgent need of reform]]

-   Reading the opinions.  Most related to the [[Policing bill]].
    -   [[Governing complex economies and societies by consent is hard]]
    -   [[Democracy is in retreat worldwide]]
    -   [[The wise democratic government takes note of large-scale protest]]
    -   [[The policing bill is an embrace of a new authoritarianism]]
    -   [[The Public Order Act already makes peaceful protest harder than in almost every other democracy]]

-   Listened: [[Platform Socialism and Web3]]
