Español Podcast 25

podcast logo Ofensiva del noroeste de Siria de 2024

Hoy discutimos un event muy recente -- guerra en Siria.

The audio is created with Google Text-to-Speech in Android for free using the spanish (Spain) voice. The script was written by various authors around the world and given to Wikipedia, where I got it on Dec 10, 2024.

This is bound to come up again as geopolitics is starting to become rather chaotic. I'm not saying anything about this event because I still have no understanding of it. That is why these paragraphs are here.

Español Podcast 7

This is the seventh podcast. Hoy discutimos una presidenta.

The audio is created with Google Text-to-Speech in Android for free using the spanish (Spain) voice. The script was written by various authors around the world and given to Wikipedia, where I got it on April 6th, 2024.

This is an example of the sort of thing that makes the front page of Spanish Wikipedia, but not English Wikipedia. What is really interesting to me is the video included in the wikipedia page.

Open Letter to Jim McDermott and Congresspeople


April 13, 2015

Hi Jim, this is Joel. I'd like to ask you to tell your fellow congresscritters to vote against reauthorizing section 215 of the Patriot Act. You understand that the mass surveillance that is currently occurring under your watch is unconstitutional and makes our country not a functioning democracy but a dictatorship, a tyranny. Tell your fellow congressmen and congresswomen to vote against reauthorizing section 215 of the Patriot Act and that will be a step toward making our nation a functioning democracy with a working system of checks and balances. Nothing can undo the harm that has already occurred under the Patriot Act and we can no doubt expect that the NSA will repeatedly attempt to continue mass surveillance of the entire world, including innocent American citizens here in the US. Constant vigilance is required to ensure that the tyranny that the NSA has created collapses and is never again rebuilt.

I will keep the rest of my thoughts to myself so that you can go on doing your job.
