Hello from the TTSG drop-out commune!
This week, a longer-than-we-intended show about the TikTok saga, Chinese/US hegemony, and nationalist traps. We also respond to a few of your brilliant emails and DMs.
0:00 – Jay explains his obsession with the history of Jonestown, and we toss around a few theories of left (and right) millenarianisms.
5:30 – After all Trump’s blather about security, TikTok, USA looks to be headed toward Oracle and Wal-Mart, with no promises of Internet liberty. Plus: will $5 billion from the deal somehow fund “The 1776 Project” aka Patriot Education aka Uncritical Race Theory?
14:10 – Enter the American splinternet? Or is that what we’ve been surfing all along? We ask why the past couple generations of US leftists seem so local in their thinking. Is a new kind of internationalist organizing possible?
34:20 – Our humble (and not-so-humble) takes on listener comments and questions:
1) How to support Chinese international students in this xenophobic age? And what to make of parents on conservative WeChat? Bonus: the surprising demographics of GOP Asian America. (Thanks, Elaine!)
2) What to make of the cops’ courting of Asian American communities? (Terima kasi, Megan!)
3) What does it mean to “organize,” and do upper-class people have any right to get involved in labor struggles? (감사합니다, Ollie!)
4) Is ethnic studies a force for good in politics, or does it just produce diversity aesthetics? (Salamat, Jael!)

The Trump administration’s bid to block the Chinese app has been stymied—for now. The tussle reflects a change in how America does business, and how the internet itself may evolve. Migration in the Mediterranean is picking up again; the pandemic is making it even more perilous and political. And Japan’s canned-coffee obsession steams ahead in foreign markets.

Nick Patrick has had his hands in tech for most of his life. He's been dabbling in computer programming and hardware from an early age. During college, he veered away from a focus in Biology toward computer science and his love for building things. He and his wife enjoy cooking, where his wife does the Mis en plan and Nick executes the cooking - primarily, backing pizzas and corn bread. He calls this a great analog activity with a big payoff. Four years ago, Nick was working at Handy, which is an on demand services platform. There, he and his colleagues were tasked to build a map system, with real time , transparent location info about the service technician. He realized that this was a difficult problem to solve, and quickly found there was no third party solution out there - IE he couldn't find the Stripe or MixPanel for location infrastructure. So he and his co-founder set out to build Radar, to provide tools quickly develop location based features right in your technology.
