  1. The Dig podcast just launched their website for their Thawra series on Arab radicalism in the 20th century.

    I learned SO MUCH about radical history in the region through this podcast, and I consider myself to be relatively well-informed.

    Very highly recommended listen:

  5. The Dig was released 30 years ago in November 1995.

    General opinions of the game seem to be that it's a decent but not remarkable LucasArts point and click adventure. But the visual and audio presentation of this game have long made it one I really want to play, but I still never got around to.

  7. Hace poco resolví una de mis espinitas clavadas en #videojuegos y me pasé #thedig

    Aunque se nota el paso del tiempo a nivel técnico, es una obra que ha envejecido muy bien y que conserva ese #sentidodelamaravilla. Es una obra algo más seria de lo que se estilaba en #LucasArts en el momento y se nota la mano de Spielbierg en el guion de lo que iba a ser un capítulo de Cuentos Asombrosos.

    El juego te transporta a una aventura espacial con puzles lógicos que siguen la fórmula de Lucas Arts de "lo que parece fácil no lo es tanto y requiere unos pasitos extra". La historia que hay oculta de lo que es una simple excavación sorprende y te hace reflexionar, y el personaje de Maggie ya era una demostración de cómo escribir bien personajes femeninos, algo que la industria del videojuego olvidó durante un tiempo.

    Eso sí, decepcionada porque Brink y Low no se lían, y mira que la tensión sexual entre ellos es más grande que Júpiter.

  9. #FollowTheMoney 🧵74/n Just finished listening to this 2part #TheDig podcast interview with Melinda Cooper about her book “Counterrevolution. Extravagance and Austerity in Public Finance”, and really cannot recommend it enough. A really excellent, grounded and stimulating account of the neoliberal “counterrevolution” as a deliberate project carried out over several decades by different political actors making fiscal choices that reshaped economy, values and politics

  11. @micchiato I hear you! And… I was listening to a “The Dig” podcast episode with Jeremy Corbyn yesterday, and he said something like “A US president is chosen to lead a Capitalist War Machine”. So there is a limit what we can expect a candidate to sign off on. At the same time, once they are in office, organizing which key constituents for reelection do can have an impact. #thedig

    Actually, you should check out a 1990s game called "The Dig."

    I'm not a gamer, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

    I'm guessing it's on archive.org. Probably playable right there on the browser, although might be a better experience.
