Photographed above are brother and sister comedy/activist/journalist/feminist duo John and Molly Knefel. Don’t let their looks deceive for if the CFWG ethnic cleansing war - to rid the world of everyone else - began they’d totally be leading the resistance.
John and Molly have a radio show called Radio Dispatch and this week they asked me to be on it. You should really listen to the whole thing because it’s very good and they discuss the reopening of Zuccotti Park to protesters, but if you must, I’m on starting at around the 27th minute.

The 1998 Robert Smigel animated short film “Conspiracy Theory Rock”, part of a March 1998 “TV Funhouse” segment, has been removed from all subsequent airings of the Saturday Night Live episode where it originally appeared. Michaels claimed the edit was done because it “wasn’t funny”. The film is a scathing critique of corporate media ownership, including NBC’s ownership by General Electric/Westinghouse.

C’mon, kids, sing along!
How might an organisation based around the economic power of unpaid interns work? We propose focusing on the strengths of interns, and suggest a strike for social reproduction; that is, not just withdrawing ones labour but creating new models in the process. A 6 month intern strike, where young strikers liaise via social media to start producing alternative political media, organisations and campaigns? Following the model of autonomy centres and the punk movement they helped nurture across Europe, the #internstrikenow could utilise the time and network-creativity of strike-interns to produce the infrastructure for a creative movement built in opposition to capital. After leaving the boring free-labour of the office internship and spending time guiding and creating your own cultural and social movement, why would you want to return? #internstrikenow – making autonomy work for you.
