E91 -Dried Mangos, Reels, Trump vs the Pope, Artemis and Reiner's Ballet

E93 - 1st of May in Berlin & the Rise of the Pasta Toddler (And some AI News)

Click me! What a chaos. Freshly converted by the city’s May 1st mass awakening, moving through the people-rivers. Listen as we try to hold a family-friendly corner in a park while DIY DJs multiply, and I attempt to sleep a baby in a stroller like a Game Boy game, and a million things to avoid. He’s good. Charming strangers, cautiously worshipping dogs, and steadily evolving in unpredictable directions. We’re also flirting with the dreaded “pasta period,” which may already be too far gone. Plus: * An Amsterdam church experiments with going offline, * Anguilla keeps cashing in on the AI boom, and * I ship a new Chrome extension, Tab Noodle, after last week’s “fair German Google reviews” tool. Thanks for tuning in.

E92 - Google is hiding bad reviews in Germany so I built an extension

Fair Google Ratings, Remote Cashiers, Polymarket Scams, and Ryanair Leaves Berlin This episode covers a new Google Maps change in Germany that shows how many reviews were removed under defamation-law claims, and my free, open-source Claude love built Chrome extension called “Fair Rating for German Reviews" Extension here [https://ennui92.github.io/fair-rating-extension/] The episode then looks at ethical gray zones in tech capitalism: New York restaurants using remote on-screen cashiers paid $3/hour from the Philippines, and Polymarket manipulation, including the Coinbase CEO trolling “mention” bets, a Super Bowl anthem-length bettor timing rehearsals, and someone allegedly heating a single Paris airport sensor to spike temperature bets. Also Ryanair closing its Berlin base amid rising costs and taxes, and ends with a personal plan to shave my head.

E91 -Dried Mangos, Reels, Trump vs the Pope, Artemis and Reiner's Ballet

E90 - Greek Scandals, Good Espresso & The New Messiah

I got one extra hour of sun and one surprisingly decent espresso, which is weird because I usually drink instant dirt and pretend it’s a personality. I spiral a bit about Nestlé, then I put on Placebo and immediately time-travel back to being an embarrassing teenager. So yeah: music, memory, and how to hack your brain without buying another app. Then I peek at the news: Greece doing Greece things—corruption, surveillance, and a luxury hotel near the Acropolis making money off being illegally tall. I also talk about ads that feel psychic (they’re not), a stupid “white messiah” meme, a Germany rule about leaving the country, and Voyager 1 just quietly escaping all of us. Berlin blossom festival, breathing, jump around, don’t die.

E89 - Mostly Animals

Us or them? An AI dog cancer vaccine and birds using quantum physics. Here's whats up: * Growing the podcast - ads, stickers, mild criminal energy. Expat dad life in Berlin. The nightly betrayal of waking up to pee at 3am. * A thought experiment involving €100 million and the ocean. * Europe's biggest drugstore chain drops krill. * Trump's committee guts the Endangered Species Act so Gulf drilling can take out rare whales, turtles, sharks, and coral. * Migratory birds might literally see Earth's magnetic field through quantum effects in their eyes. * A data engineer used AI and DNA sequencing to make his dog a personalized mRNA cancer vaccine. It worked. Like, rate, subscribe your grandma. Ciao!
