Episode 55 - The Ken and Dave Greater Co Prosperity Sphere

This one is all about propaganda.

Of course we've been both thinking about the topic ever since Russia invaded Ukraine.

Does Putin actually believe his own propaganda?

Are we swayed by propaganda (of course we are).

I've. got a lot of problems with Noam Chomsky.

Oh yeah, this one was recorded live and in person.

Episode 42 - Quarter Poundor

Another week, another episode of The Expanse, and, another TC.

Oh remember, you heard it here first that the Expanse was going to be picked up by Amazon.

Speaking of Amazon, this article on Engadget caught our eyes.  FAKES!  Apparently there's a lot of stuff on Amazon that is fake.  I remember eBay dealing with that a lot when I was a seller back in the late 90s and early 2000s.

I promised my Russian friend Dan that I'd mention him, and The Warlock in Spite of Himself series.  I have now fulfilled my contractual obligation.

I bet we talk about Altered Carbon.  It's just a guess, but I bet we do.

Visit Elne France, those poor people.

The theme is too loud this week, sorry about that....

Episode 39 - It's The Future, Which One of These Knobs Do I Have To Blow?

Follow us again dear listener as we converge tangentially.

Well, we're going to watch last night's Expanse, and before it, who knows, we might record a thing!

First off I'd like to thank both @acedtect and @alkebob for posting a picture of the two of them from Vegas where there was a meet up.  Great pic, which they entitled 'two thirds of the Tangential Convergence audience'.

So, Tesla has an idea for an electric transport truck.  Cool.  Then Nicola Motors (yeah we get it) has decided to sue Tesla for two billion dollars.  Seems legit.  This seems to me to be as sensible as, oh, say TWIT suing Twitter.  (That's happening by the way).  Damn, I should be careful, maybe I'll get sued for mentioning all of this stuff.

This got us all into lots of stuff, look, I'm a shitty writer and that's what I've got.  I'm a shitty writer, but, the library at the university has to pay for y shitty writing.....

Oh yeah, two things, I forgot to use Tom Merritt's excellent line about how Edison Motors should sue Tesla, and, Go Hounds Go!
