What’s Wrong With Having a Hobby? The ACFM gang offer a weird-left view on hobbies. Are they a capitalist byproduct or the stuff of utopia?

An #ACFM on Hobbies. @jemgilbert.bsky.social, Nadia Idle, and I discuss the history of hobbies, how they've been increasingly colonised by Platform Capitalism and whether they retain a utopian dimension.

Pleased to see our work on Popular Asset Commissions included in the @greensorganise.bsky.social pledge for the upcoming elections. We need a new approach to local government if we’re to escape the austerity trap that 40 years of neoliberal reform has placed us in.

A great event at @lighthousebks.bsky.social yesterday. I got interviewed by @bellacaledonia.bsky.social about Radical Abundance. It turned into a pretty wide ranging and enjoyable conversation. A link to a video of the discussion below.

A lot wrong in the world today, but can we all congratulate 84 year old British wrestling legend Kendo Nagasaki who has described Nigel Farage as:

"a really hateful man ...got this terrible history of racial and right wing abuse - and still doing it to this day, but now he camouflages it a little."

Big Pharma smelled weakness in the UK government, teamed up with Trump to force a deal funnelling billions from the #NHS into their pockets. Now Eli Lilly is back demanding more.

Treat them as the threat they are. Patients will die if you don't.

Should We Fight for Our Right to Be Bored? Face it, you're over-stimulated.

An #ACFM on Boredom. Is boredom different these days? Has it been replaced by over-stimulated compulsion? Should we fight for the right for boredom? Nadia Idle, @jemgilbert.bsky.social, and I ask these questions and more while playing plenty of 70s punk!

I love how James Butler has turned the LRB podcast into a version of late 2010s Novara FM.

Really enjoyed this.

Can't recommend this book, by @kmilb.bsky.social @kaiheron.bsky.social & @bertrussell.bsky.social, enough.

It offers a sound analysis of our time of 'bullshit abundance and artificial scarcity' & combines it with an actionable plan to replace capitalism's stranglehold with another type of control.
