Deerhunter - Microcastle / Weird Era Continued (Kranky)

If you've ever read the blog of Deerhunter, you probably realize that wild mood swings and prolificness are just par for the course. Brandon Cox has written epic rants and then apologize (or not), laying out feelings and thoughts in words that sometimes just seem like a grab for attention. At the same time that he does this, he posts new original songs (often under his solo guise Atlas Sound, which also released an album on Kranky earlier this year), videos, and mixes. Band member Lockett Pundt also releases songs there under the name Lotus Plaza, and he'll also release an album on Kranky next year. Needless to say, the group stays busy.

Good day AppleVis, and today on this podcast, I'll be demonstrating a game.

Now, I'm sure we've read Little Red Riding Hood, the book, right?

You know, where the big bad wolf eats grandma and, you know, all that.

Now, this game comes.

It's an audio game, so it comes with a twist.

So basically, you can pick your own path.

Basically, like, you know, let's say, you know, what happened?

What would happen if the wolf didn't eat grandma, for example, or whatnot?

So you've got that choice.

It's that's what's called twisted tails.

So.

Yeah, without further ado, it's developed by the way, it's developed by a company called Sona in New Zealand and in collaboration with the Blind Foundation of Australia, Blind Foundation, Blind Foundation of New Zealand.

So without further ado, we will get straight into the demo.

Now, I will say this.

You have to use in order to use the app, you have to use direct touch.

Also, some parts, like when you're scrolling through the screen, voiceover does seem to cut off like it, you know, does seem to cut words.

So if you do notice that, you know, yes, it's it's probably a app bug.

But, yeah, without further ado, we will get straight into the demo.

Speech setting, wallet, prime video, red writing hood.

So I've got red writing hood here.

So I will double tap on double tap to open the app.

Red writing hood, direct touch area foundation, use the rotor to enable direct touch for this app.

So now interactive, twisted tails, red writing hood.

So that's kind of the opening thing.

Button double tap to select.

So we will go through the screen just to kind of give you a bit of an idea.

So this is the what all the what elements are…

Setting up and moderating a Mastodon instance (but not hosting) (Remote)

This is very speculative. I am assisting a faculty member where I work with the idea of establishing a Mastodon server (hosted by the university) to support a specialized intersection of a particular equity-seeking group and an area of study. The work would be to help run the server, and possibly promote it -- a combination moderator and marketer, both making sure the community is running smoothly and also reaching to people to encourage them to join. If this seems interesting to you, and in full knowledge that this might go nowhere, I'd love to hear about your moderation experience, how many hours a week you think you'd be able to put into the project, and your pay per hour expectations (in USD).

What is Cibo Matto's "Emerald Tuesday" (heavily) sampling?

I'm listening to NPR's streaming "First Listen" of Cibo Matto's "Emerald Tuesday," off the forthcoming Hotel Valentine, and I know this song it's sampling from the first note. (And I think that's the point of the lyrics, that the ghost in the song listened/listens to the sampled song all the time.) I feel like it's also something my husband listens to all the time, or that was in a movie I just saw, but I can't pin it down. My first thought was Curtis Mayfield, but I'm not finding it. I know it's going to seem obvious to me once you tell me, but nonetheless—help! What is that song?

Desperately Seeking URC-1160 (Sorry, Susan)

My Spectrum (formerly TWC) cable box works via RF with a particular remote that comes with it in some areas. Not mine. I've got the IR remote and need the other sort. Can't find it on Amazon or eBay... I've visited the Spectrum offices in my area (Portland, ME) and have been told that, in my area, the new cable box I have (the Spectrum 201-T, which is actually the Technicolor WorldBox) does not ship with its regular, RF-capable remote, the URC-1160. In some parts of the country, however, it does.

I've searched online to find a replacement--no dice. I've also called Spectrum, to see if they will send me one, and I was told that they can only request a new remote, not specify what sort. They shipped me another IR remote.

How can I get my hands on one of these URC-1160s?

By Faint of Butt in "Our Cockroach Era" on MeFi

I do not want to be alive. This is not a new development; I first voiced this opinion to my mother when I was five years old, and it has persisted through the subsequent four decades despite therapy, a vast array of medications, and multiple forms of invasive treatments that have made my existence even less bearable while having no affect on my depression (or, as I think of it, my identity and most fundamental self). Given the opportunity to press a button and fast-forward to my deathbed, I'd do it without hesitation. But these Nazi motherfuckers will not leave the people I love alone. They are forcing me to stay alive, even though I hate every minute of it, just so I can contribute my meager skills to the war effort against them. You have no idea how furious I am, because all I want is to die, and they won't let me, because if I did I'd be ceding the world to them, and I refuse to do that without exhausting every drop of blood within me. If I can't have a single moment of joy, peace or happiness, then neither can they.

Ask MeFi: Suggestions for spinsterhood literature/essays

I'm a 40F who upon hearing the election results this week, felt a surge a gratitude about being a spinster. I figure there has to be articles, books, or some type of literature made by fellow spinsters throughout history about their experiences.

I'm a 40F who upon hearing the election results this week, felt a surge a gratitude about having no kids or a male partner. I of course have been on this path for years, mostly due to my total disinterest in dating and or sex. (I didn't realize I was a OG member of the 4B Movement.)
The choice to forego the things that many women consider their purpose in life does make you feel like the weird one.
I figure there has to be articles, books, or some type of literature made by fellow spinsters throughout history about their experiences. It find it a 95 percent positive experience, but I'd also be curious if these ladies have also written about the drawbacks (money troubles, not being anyone's person) as well.
I'd be curious how the stigma played out then as it does now, I figure it was worse then due to not being able to get good jobs, but I know in some places, these women served as elderly caretakers. I look forward to learning more.

Report: Russia Launched Cyberattack On Voting Vendor Ahead Of Election

Updated at 9 p.m. ET Russia's military intelligence agency launched an attack days before Election Day on a U.S. company that provides election services and systems, including voter registration, according to a top-secret report posted Monday by The Intercept . The news site published a report, with redactions, by the National Security Agency that described the Russian spear-phishing scheme, one it described as perpetrated by the same intelligence agency — the GRU — that the Obama administration imposed sanctions on for the 2016 cyber mischief. According to the NSA report, Russian hackers sent emails to people who worked at a company that provides state and local election offices with voter registration systems, trying to trick them into giving up their user credentials.
