By Lotion Soup - Jan 31 2019I agree with many of his positions, but I've grown too tired of his utter incompetence in making arguments for genuinely good positions, and having generally abhorrent tendencies. Far too frequently, I see some numbskull Trump supporter on his show say something absurd, only for Bill to essentially respond, "I'm so right" without pressing the issue at all. I've also noticed his annoying habit of subtle, casual misogyny, not so subtle bigotry and his prattling of Sam Harris' xenophobic implications that there should be a limit to the number of muslims in this country (and I have a problem with many forms of Islam, but this is ridiculous). He also tends to make sweeping, and frankly offensive generalizations about behaviors he doesn't understand (such as essentially calling anyone who enjoys any content from the superhero genre pathetic children shortly after Stan Lee's death). These days, I sort of think of Bill as that grandpa you don't HATE, but that often says cringeworthy things. Unsubscribing.

99% Invisible 128- Hacking IKEA. KEA hacking is the practice of buying things from IKEA and reengineering — or “hacking” — them to become customized, more functional, and often just better designed stuff. The locus of the IKEA hacking movement is a website called IKEAhackers.net. It’s a showcase for people who have tricked out their KALLAXES, their ARKELSTORPS and their FLÄRDFULLS . Would-be hackers can gather tips from other hackers, and once they’re ready, post pictures and how-to guides of their own hacks.

In the photo below, were hacked to make a Murphy bed. billy bookcase Courtesy of Jules Yap bed Courtesy of Jules Yap Because IKEA products are available in so many countries and use metric measurements, a worldwide “hackerati” has been able to thrive. You see hacks posted from Australia, Russia, Israel and Dubai. Someone even posted a hack of a French country house library in an actual French country house. He used 60 Billy and Benno bookcases. french country house hack French Country House IKEA hack. Courtesy of Jules Yap And of course, beyond the bounds of IKEAhackers.net, there are tons of people just putting up youtube videos or sharing flickr photos of their hacked IKEA items. IKEAhackers.net was started in 2006 by Jules Yap (Jules is not her real first name — it’s a pseudonym derived from an IKEA product). But in March of 2014, Yap got a cease and desist letter from IKEA. IKEA claimed that using their trademarked name was a violation — even just using the blue and yellow color scheme was not allowed. Since Yap makes money off of the site through advertising, IKEA argued that she was profiting off of the IKEA name. jules-sad From IKEAhackers.net. Courtesy of Jules Yap IKEA asked Yap to stop using the IKEA trademark or anything trademarked by IKEA including her domain name. It also seemed like she would have to close down the Twitter and Facebook accounts associated with her website. She was resigned to comply, but then came a huge outcry on the internet. Cory Doctorow, who blogs on Boing Boing, called the cease and desist from letter from IKEA “steaming bullshit.” Supporters of Yap felt like IKEAhacking.net was actually good for the IKEA brand, and that IKEA was foolish to make an enemy out of her. Apparently, IKEA took the criticism to heart. A representative of the company contacted Yap in June and told her that they wanted to come to a solution that both parties could be happy with. As we release this podcast, Yap is traveling to the IKEA headquarters in Sweden to work out the details of the solution. On her website, Yap said she was so happy she could “pee in her FRAKTA pants.” IMG_4537 The base of Sean’s new bed. Credit: Sean Cole Enjoy 99pi? Subscribe to the podcast!

The Tim Ferriss Show: #107: The Scariest Navy SEAL I've Ever Met...And What He Taught Me. Jocko Willink (@jockowillink) is one of the scariest human beings imaginable. He is a lean 230 pounds. He is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu expert who used to tap out 20 Navy SEALs per workout. He is a legend in the Special Operations world. His eyes look through you more than at you. He rarely does interviews, if ever. But a few weeks ago, Jocko ended up staying at my house and we had a caffeinated mind meld. Here's some background... Jocko enlisted in the Navy after high school and spent 20 years in the SEAL Teams, first as an enlisted SEAL operator and then as a SEAL officer. During his second tour in Iraq, he led SEAL Task Unit Bruiser in the Battle of Ramadi--some of the toughest and sustained combat in the SEAL Teams since Vietnam. Under his leadership, Task Unit Bruiser became the most highly decorated Special Operations Unit of the entire war in Iraq and helped bring stability to Ramadi. Jocko was awarded the Bronze Star and a Silver Star. Upon returning to the United States, Jocko served as the Officer-in-Charge of training for all West Coast SEAL Teams, designing and implementing some of the most challenging and realistic combat training in the world. So why is Jocko opening up? Well, in part, we have mutual friends. Second, he is the co-author of an incredible new book — Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win -- which I've been loving. Trust me. Buy it. This is his first mainstream interview and one you won't want to miss. Show notes and links for this episode can be found at www.fourhourworkweek.com/podcast.

They began with a conversation on being conservative and the state of the GOP. They focused in on being a woman in a party that supported an overtly sexist president. Afterwards they debated the rise of Trump and the role of the Tea Party. Finally they talked about what gaslighting means and why it’s important in our current political context.

Over the course of the conference, she talked to attendees of different backgrounds, ages, ethnicities and genders, only to find nativism and racism time and again. The Washington Post’s Dave Weigel joins the pod to discuss their past experiences at CPAC.
