-   We [[watched]] [[Soul]] again.
    -   Such a lovely film. Heartwarming message, great music, great visuals, funny for the whole family.

-   I [[listened]] to [[What Social Media Meant for the Mass Protest Decade w/ Vincent Bevins]]
    -   [[Vincent Bevins]] again on his book [[If We Burn]].
    -   **Really** interesting stuff.
    -   I like the very loose analogy between what happened to the internet and what happened to [[the movement of the squares]].
    -   Basically a form of [[The Tyranny of Structurelessness]] in both.

-   Also listened to [[Why Tech Makes Us More Insecure w/ Astra Taylor]]
    -   [[Insecurity]] and [[security]] - in more of social and psychological meanings of the word than the technical sense.
    -   Claim: [[Capitalism requires insecurity]].
    -   Claim: [[Social insurance is a bulwark against insecurity]].
    -   Also by Astra: [[The Dads of Tech]] and [[The People's Platform]].

-   We have [[national insurance]] in the UK.
    -   Wonder when it was introduced?

-   Never really thought much about insurance before.
    -   Superficially it seems a boring topic. But this and Jathan Sadowski podcast discussion ([[How the World Became Uninsurable]]) recently making me realise it's kind of fundamental and sadly mostly privatised.

-   Returning a little to [[IndieWeb]] for following activity streams. I had been using the Fediverse for a while, but I find it a bit too fast paced, a bit too attention grabbing.  For me.  IndieWeb is kind of slow social media and that suits me fine.

-   hyperorg could be useful for me.
    -   Either for publishing wiki to web, or could be a useful internal parser for the Agora? Python based.
