I know it's probably not the best thing to ask, as I get obsessive, but what political analysis / global affairs podcasts do you recommend?
Based in any country, but English language.
In my podcatcher I have: Gaslit Nation, Deconstructed, Africa Today (BBC), Analysis (BBC 4) and Economist Radio.

@AngelosArnis Ha. Yes. I try to be a tolerant person as that leads to more connection but sometimes I need to vent :)
@AngelosArnis And totally agree. We're not attacking, but rather showing that there is a different way of working. It doesn't always come across though...

@pedrobjorn My go-to action is making people aware of the exploits. People are allowed to make bad decisions, but forcing people to make decisions without knowledge and understanding of how they are affected is a core problem. The follow-up action is calls for legislation.
I loathe how my peers used their savviness and power to turn digital services into surveillance machines, and obfuscate their actions when called out for it.

@neeraj Yes, it's still somewhat of a mystery to me how quickly the building was allowed to be breached.
Some reporting needs to move beyond the widespread clownish photos of rioters inside the Capitol building. This segment contains horrifying footage I believe is important for more widespread awareness.

«These Black Capitol Police Officers Describe Fighting Off "Racist Ass Terrorists"»
âThat was a heavily trained group of militia terrorists that attacked us."
buzzfeednews.com/amphtml/emmanuâŠ
The officer described coming face to face with police officers from across the country in the mob. Some of them flashed their badges, telling him to let them through, and trying to explain that this was all part of a movement that was supposed to help. buzzfeednews.com/amphtml/emmanuâŠ
I keep seeing the opinion this wasn't a coup attempt.
1. The mob included militia and police incited by a president.
2. Extreme violence was planned and occurred.
3. Their goal was to prevent democratic transfer of power.
If it looks like a duck and quacks like a terrorist...
Gallows are not built outside the Capitol on a whim. There were pipe bombs, molotov cocktails, flex cuffs, weapons galore and calls for execution.

The most bizarre part of this interview with @MEPFuller inside the Capitol is the part where he describes "protesters" asking him on the way to the Capitol: "Can I park here?". They were worried about parking tickets before proceeding with insurrection.

âȘ Replying to @nat0n
@nat0n Bra förtydligande Anton. Du har helt klart rÀtt i att mÄnga verkar ha fel uppfattning om vad som ska publiceras till allmÀnheten.
Jag noterar att FolkhÀlsomyndigheten @Folkhalsomynd regelbundet bryter mot lagen om tillgÀnglighet till digital offentlig service (DOS-lagen), genom att deras PDF-dokument med beslut Àr scannade (blir bilder) och inte maskinellt lÀsbara. @digg Àr tillsynsmyndighet.
Digital tillgÀnglighet innebÀr att ingen ska hindras frÄn att fÄ tillgÄng till digital offentlig service. SÀttet som dessa dokument publiceras pÄ innebÀr att varken medborgare eller journalister som anvÀnder sÀrskilda hjÀlpmedel kan ta del av innehÄllet.
Jag börjar med att anmÀla bristen till den offentliga aktören (FolkhÀlsomyndigheten). Om de inte kan lösa det pÄ ett tillfredstÀllande sÀtt gÄr man vidare och anmÀler bristande tillgÀnglighet till Myndigheten för digital förvaltning.
Jag anvÀnder dessa tvÄ sidor som exempel, som bÄda lÀnkar till PDF-dokument med beslut gÀllande gymnasieskolan. Dessa dokument lever inte upp till krav pÄ tillgÀnglighet sÄ som lagen krÀver.
1) 7 jan 2021: folkhalsomyndigheten.se/nyheter-och-prâŠ
2) 3 dec 2020: folkhalsomyndigheten.se/nyheter-och-prâŠ
Hos FolkhĂ€lsomyndigheten letar jag efter lĂ€nken âTillgĂ€nglighetsredogörelseâ i sidfoten. DĂ€r hittar jag en sida som beskriver att de âsedan 23 september 2018 haft ambitionen att alla dokument vi publicerar pĂ„ webbplatsen ska vara tillgĂ€ngliga sĂ„ lĂ„ngt det Ă€r möjligt.â
Jag gÄr vidare och rapporterar brister i tillgÀnglighet.
HĂ€r Ă€r lĂ€nken för att rapportera brister: folkhalsomyndigheten.se/om-folkhalsomyâŠ
FortsÀttning följer.
Bonus-upptÀckt: NÀr jag ska skicka formulÀret godkÀnns inte att jag angett ett bindestreck i mitt mobilnummer.
Vi hörs om tre (var?)dagar.
Bara en sak till. Det stĂ„r *uttryckligen* att man âsedan 23 september 2018 haft ambitionen att alla dokument vi publicerar pĂ„ webbplatsen ska vara tillgĂ€ngliga sĂ„ lĂ„ngt det Ă€r möjligt.â
Att man uttryckligen inte haft den ambitionen innan lagen trÀdde i kraft Àr oerhört ledsamt.
Svar kom snabbt frÄn @Folkhalsomynd. Det var bra, tydligt och min anmÀlan togs pÄ högsta allvar. Dock hade jag bara mejlat ett av mina exempel i denna trÄd, sÄ jag nÀmnde Àven det andra. KÀnns som det Àr i checklistan vid publicering som det brister lite.
Jag vill ocksĂ„ nĂ€mna att jag framfört brister tidigare till FolkhĂ€lsomyndigheten och det har Ă„tgĂ€rdats snabbt och med full förstĂ„else för problembilden jag lyfter. Exempel pĂ„ detta finns i detta blogginlĂ€gg: axbom.blog/hantera-informâŠ

@krisinformation Tack för svar.
@krisinformation För den som lÀser trÄden. HÀr Àr skillnaden i de tvÄ olika besluten frÄn 3/12 och 28/12. Inte helt lÀtt att utlÀsa. Det verkar inte heller finnas nÄgot beslut innan den 28 december som motsvarar den publicerade rekommendationen frÄn 18 december dÄ man skrev 24/1.
âȘ Replying to @ekjlofgren
@ekjlofgren Skillnaden ocksĂ„ att det första Ă€r ett regeringsmeddelande och det andra FoHM? För det kan ju inte bli tydligare Ă€n den 18 december: âGymnasieskolor ska undervisa pĂ„ distans till och med den 24 januari.â och det Ă€r det eleverna fĂ„tt höra. đ€·ââïž
@ekjlofgren HÀr Àr svaret. Det Àr en liten, liten justering gÀllande introduktionsprogrammen. Det hÀr Àr alltsÄ en lite, lite mjukare rekommendation Àn tidigare.
VĂ€ldigt otydligt att det var en sĂ„dan liten Ă€ndring det hela var frĂ„gan om dock. x.com/krisinformatioâŠ
@ekjlofgren ĂndĂ„ förvirrande⊠i det dokumentet/beslutet stĂ„r det att den tidigare rekommendationen var till 6 januari. Det kĂ€nns som om man inte alls Ă€r synkade med informationen frĂ„n regeringen.
@ekjlofgren OcksĂ„ daterat den 28 december. Men man gĂ„r ut med det den 7 januari. Ja jössesâŠ
folkhalsomyndigheten.se/contentassets/âŠ
@ekjlofgren Jag kunde tydligen inte slÀppa det hÀr. HÀr Àr hela skillnaden i besluten den 3 december och den 28 december. NÀr man 18 december gick ut med datumet 24 januari fanns inget sÄdant beslut hos FoHM. För övrigt: alla PDF:er Àr bilder, vilket bryter mot DOS-lagen.
