	⚡ 2:33am Don in Tampere: Good morning Brian! Up earlier than usual because I have a lot of work to. I hate working Sundays but this time there's no alternative.
	2:39am Brian D: Good morning, Don, and all. Sorry you have to work, Don.
	2:42am delalwn: oh hi hello.
	⚡ 2:43am Don in Tampere: I'll make sure to take a day off in return as soon as the project proposal is submitted. Big EU project proposal that I let myself be talked into coordinating.
	2:45am Brian D: Hello Dev! Precursor to Finland joining the EU, Don?
	2:47am Cosmic: Good day
	2:51am Brian D: Greetings, Cos. I just had to adjust the clock in the studio. I'm so confused...
	⚡ 2:53am Don in Tampere: Finland joined the EU in 1995. You're probably thinking about NATO.
	2:55am Brian D: Sorry, Don. You're right. Man, I'm tired.
	2:55am Cosmic: It’s daylight here Brian. Loving the mornings at the moment.
	2:55am Cosmic: Oh from last week!
	2:57am Brian D: We change our clocks this week, Cosmic. Where in Europe are you, if you don't mind my asking?
	3:04am Cosmic: I’m in Cornwall, UK. Clocks went back last week here, always a fun thing to get confused about.
	3:04am Colin in Durham England: Feels like I just blagged loads of free radio
	3:05am Brian D: Ah, Cosmic. Beautiful part of the world. Yes, the difference in clock schedules threw off my football viewing.
	3:05am Brian D: Me too, @Colin!
	3:08am delalwn: Hi Brian I'm, still not sure if i've used the extra hour yet or not.
	3:09am Cosmic: It is really beautiful and changes every day with the weather. Clocks back here makes autumn mornings like an extra spring, but you gotta get up for them!
	3:12am Brian D: Clearly, me neither, @Dev.
	3:15am LiXiviated Life: Wasn’t it already this o’clock about an hour ago?
	3:16am Brian D: It's like deja vu all over again, Lix.
	3:16am fred: Hello Brian and listeners
	3:16am Colin in Durham England: Getting up for the early autumnal-spring mornings is helped very much by these magical little mushrooms that sprout up out of the ground at dawn at this time of year too!
	3:17am Cosmic: Isn’t it fun to mess about with time like this? Why don’t we do a month of Saturdays? Who’s in charge?
	3:18am Brian D: Hello Fred! A month of Saturdays (and Sundays) sounds lovely. Let's make that happen.
	3:24am fred: The sound was very low on that news clip
	3:24am Brian D: Yeah, Fred. I know. Not sure why.
	3:28am Brian D: Hey all, was that one louder?
	⚡ 3:28am Don in Tampere: The EU was supposed to stop changing clocks a few years ago, but it still hasn't happened. It's certainly a fairly useless exercise here in Finland. Yes, that was much louder
	3:29am Chris Crisco: Cheers Brian & Friends Happy Standard Time !
	3:29am Chris Crisco: Loud & Clear!
	3:29am Brian D: Thanks, Don. It's useless here, too. As Abbie from Mars said to me, "We're not farmers anymore."
	3:30am Brian D: Hello Chris!
	3:34am fred: I think part of the issue with stopping the time change in the EU is settling on which one to keep. If left to each country time zones could get even worse than they are
	3:34am Brian D: True Fred.
	3:36am alan the painter: Thank you 4Um south phillie
	3:37am Cosmic: There’s a man here walks into town always with a huge clock on his front and one on his back with “real time” on it.
	3:37am fred: On Olivia's show tomorrow
	3:38am Brian D: Indeed Fred. Olivia's show is always a must-listen, but that should be really good.
	3:40am Cosmic: That DC sound ⚡️
	3:45am Brian D: Has Flavor Flav moved to Cornwall, Cosmic?
	3:46am fred: Too bad I'll miss that show (I'll be at a dance show)
	3:49am Cosmic: Very different vibe to flavor flav Brian :)
	3:51am Cosmic: The end is nigh kind of thing, but in protest to daylight savings time
	3:53am ledzeppelinsucks: superb production on this c track-Hydr St Studios San Francisco
	3:54am ledzeppelinsucks: Standard Time lasts 4 months. Eliminate Standard Time.
	⚡ 3:59am Don in Tampere: Thanks for the music and clips, off now to write about supercapacitors and try to convince the EU to give our consortium shitloads of money to develop them.
	3:59am fred: This song remains relevant
	4:03am Brian D: You lost me at supercapacitors, Don. Seriously, good luck.
	⚡ 4:11am tom tom the pipers son: hello brian, all
	4:12am LiXiviated Life: I’m awake
	4:15am fred: Seeing the album title of the Billy Bragg reminded me that Ken one did a show with almost two hours of The Internationale: wfmu.org...
	4:16am Brian D: I remember that show Fred!
	⚡ 4:22am Michael of Cologne: 'Morning Brian & all. Sunny & coolish here.
	4:27am Brian D: Hello Michael!
	⚡ 4:33am Michael of Cologne: Capitalism? The never-ending, relentless, circular movement of accumulating thingified value. Humans are just given roles in this movement and pretend they could control it.
	4:34am fred: @Brian: Fun tidbit: in Saint Denis in the suburbs of Paris, there was a small park/square named after Thiers, that was renamed after De Geyter (composer of The Internationale). The name change was almost a century ago, but some people still insist on the old name
	4:35am Brian D: Fred, I've been in St. Denis and didn't know that. St. Denis is where the national stadium is, correct?
	⚡ 4:36am tom tom the pipers son: @fred who was thiers?
	4:38am fred: @Brian: I think so @tom tom: Crusher of the Commune: en.wikipedia.org...
	⚡ 4:38am Michael of Cologne: All Strung Up Ref. 2): All entranced, pretending to be free The same old tune, repeating endlessly All strung up. for far too long Got a craving, to sing a different song
	⚡ 4:41am tom tom the pipers son: thanks fred, you've educated me...
	4:42am fred: @Brian: My father's family is from there (actually my father was a leader of the communist youth there in the early 60s, he was told to stop and focus on studying as an accountant so he could infiltrate corporations)
	4:43am Brian D: Wow, Fred. That's quite a history. Was the infiltration successful?
	⚡ 4:45am Michael of Cologne: @fred: Order from the Comintern via the PCF to your father?
	4:47am fred: @Brian: In a way it was, as he helped unions where he worked. In another no, as he left the party because he didn't like taking orders (and grew distrustful of the USSR)
	4:48am fred: @Michael: So yes, and it backfired
	4:49am Brian D: Understandable, Fred. My father was a pro-union exec at his company. His father had started a union at his company, after emigrating from Ireland. My father honored picket lines, to the detriment of his career.
	4:54am fred: @Brian: A friend of mine lives there, and the name was part of the appeal. She's still pissed off that some plaques read "formerly Place Thiers" (she's an anarcho-syndicalist teacher)
	⚡ 4:55am Michael of Cologne: Good interview. People living in mobile homes and the homeless are affected (adversely) by that form of thingified value called ground-rent that's part of the circuit.
	⚡ 4:57am Michael of Cologne: Are "our values" any match for accumulating thingified value?
	4:58am StringOFperils: Social Class is endemic to North American life. The very ideas of 'getting ahead' in life and 'doing better' are predicated on others getting behind and doing worse in life. Their hopes and dreams are usurped so that others can incorporate them as well-deserved gains. These are our values.
	4:58am upstatesean: 👍
	4:58am delalwn: as a Canadian, i always find Americans talking about first nations odd. and mildly cringe.
	4:59am StringOFperils: As a Canadian I feel the same about Canadians.
	4:59am Cosmic: Great interview. And song!
	5:00am Cosmic: The speaker in my backpack is playing it to the coast of Cornwall
	5:01am upstatesean: As a non Canadian I feel the same as some actual Canadians
	5:03am Brian D: Happy to hear the Wolfe Tones are echoing around Cornwall.
	5:07am Cosmic: Yep, and then rage :)
	5:08am john_zilla: good morning
	5:12am fred: Something really annoying to me: for a year the magazines I subscribe to were seized and taxed heavily. Now I don't even get them. I get it about Dissent and The Baffler, but Ploughshares and n+1? Macron is getting paranoid
	5:19am john_zilla: Carol \o/
	5:23am Brian D: Censorship, Fred. A totalitarian state.
	⚡ 5:34am Heidee: Good morning, having food for breakfast with Brian's food for thought. I am grateful.
	5:37am Brian D: I'm grateful you're with us, Heidee, good morning.
	5:37am StringOFperils: I wish I could sleep. Really going to regret this tomorrow. Physically at least. Probably the times change more than the time change.
	5:48am fred: @Brian: it switched from "I ban critics" to "I only allow praise". Then again, maybe it's just a result of his alliance with the far right, letting any worker with a bias get their censorship on. It could come from the left too: anything from the US is a threat
	5:49am Brian D: Ironic, that, since the US has the most right-wing left-wing in the world.
	5:53am LiXiviated Life: Hey
	5:54am Brian D: I know it's not raining, Lix...
	5:55am fred: @Brian: Maybe not anymore: Bernie was lambasted here as a wild idealist by the (centrist) left here. The left here is hopelessly divided, infighting is the main priority. We're so against we don't remember what we're for
	5:57am Brian D: Bernie a notable exception, Fred. There are others for sure.
	5:57am Brian D: Well, folks, that's about it for me. Thank you for joining me. See "A Decent Home" and stay safe. Have a great week.
	6:00am fred: Thanks Brian!
	6:01am StringOFperils: Thanks Brian.
