Booked on PlanningThe Cities We NeedWhat makes our neighborhoods feel like home isn't just the buildings that surround us but the countless human connections that happen within them. Author Gabrielle Bendiner-Viani spent decades exploring this phenomenon by asking residents to guide her through their neighborhoods, showing her the places that matter most in their daily lives.Her approach revealed something profound: places we might walk past without a second glance often contain rich histories and social significance for community members. Take the electronics store in Brooklyn where, years after the owner's death, his cricket-playing friends still gather every Thursday afternoon around a...2025-07-2248 min

Mikä meitä vaivaa?Jakso 117: Kaikki voi mennä vielä huonomminPontuksen kuuluminen: Kaikki menee huonosti Trumpin valinnasta Gazan hävityssotaan ja 1,5 asteen ilmastorajan ylittymiseen. Final Fantasy 6 -pelistä kuitenkin opimme, että aina voi mennä paljon huonomminkin. Siksi tappion jälkeen ei kannata vetäytyä bunkkeriin: myös bunkkeri voidaan vielä tuhota. Elämät ja taistelut jatkuvat raunioissa.
Veikan kuuluminen: Trumpin voitto sai monet Yhdysvalloissa toteamaan, että organisoituminen ei kannata, koska “kansa halusi Trumpin”. Mutta pitäisikö tappion syitä etsiä muualtakin kuin aktivismin tappiosta tai kansan syvästä rasistisesta olemuksesta?

Pontuksen kuuluminen: hyperbolaa, hyperkytkeytymistä, hyperkiihtymistä eli syksy on tullut.
Veikan kuuluminen: Uhkaako grantifikaatio eli apurahaistuminen hävittää aktivismin ja valkokaulustyön rajat?
Pontuksen vaiva: Ajattelun ulkoistaminen erilaisille järjestelmille on aikamme ilmiö, jota voi havainnollistaa kolmella esimerkillä: algoritminen suostuttelu ja suosittelu, somen doksa eli mielipiteellinen homogenisaatio ja toimittajien näkökulma-automatisaatio. Ongelma ei ole itse ulkoistaminen, vaan yhdenmukaistuminen, keskittyminen ja näihin liittyvä valta.

The genocide is discussed under the trope of 'Israeli-Palestinian conflict', thus focussing on the fears and motivations of both sides, the lack of progress in the peace process, and the potential for a lasting resolution (read 'two-state solution').
The interviewer from the New Yorker highlights the importance of acknowledging the legitimacy of both nations and the need for a two-state solution.
