/"From Hell's nose I snirkle at thee."/

The recording of last night's (2021-09-10) Memo of the Air: Good Night
Radio show on 107.7fm KNYO-LP Fort Bragg (CA) is right here:
https://tinyurl.com/KNYO-MOTA-0453

This show begins with the hour-and-twenty-minute Snap Sessions tribute to
musician/graphic artist John Chamberlain and ends with a Futility Closet
podcast featuring the San Francisco earthquake of 1906. And, in between,
the usual goods, at least an hour of those goods via the Anderson Valley
Advertiser, America's Last Newspaper.

BESIDES ALL THAT, at https://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com you'll find a fresh
batch of dozens of links to not necessarily radio-useful but nonetheless
worthwhile items I set aside for you while gathering that show together.
Such as, for instance:

What we forget.

An intricate zootropic dream of money. Not zootrophic– zootropic, from
zootrope.

People modifying their space. This reminds me of one of the school
dormitory blocks I lived in in the late 1970s, where it became a fad to
bolt two-by-fours horizontally to your corner of the tiny two-person room
for a platform, put one vertical two-by-four to post up the unsupported
corner of it, and move your desk and chair underneath. If both occupants
did this, it added almost a third to the floorspace of the room. End of
semester, time to move out, reverse the process, save the bolts, leave the
wood out by the dumpsters. Nobody ever got in trouble for it, and as far as
I know no bed every tumbled out of the sky... I really like the idea of a
promised place to live. Give people good jobs building them, and a
non-ridiculous guaranteed annual income, and solve so much, alleviate so
much insecurity and angst and real suffering in the world. /Then/ let's see
how many people want to try to sleep huddled on the sidewalk in the rain,
or in a drain culvert, or get hosed out of a doorway, or kicked or burned
to death or pissed on in an alley or the park, because I don't think anyone
does. And it would be so easy. The Soviets did it when they were poor as
dirt.

And ground zeroes of Earth. An outrage, every one. A cowardly attack from
space on our Homeplanet. That's why we have to throw ten trillion dollars
and twenty years and a million lives at Pluto to bust up the terrorists'
ability to ever do it again. Who's with me?
