[Kzyxtalk] The nonstop shrieking steam-calliope of history.

Subject: The nonstop shrieking steam-calliope of history.

/"Given a choice, the vast majority of people prefer to live in a 
dictatorship, as long as the dictator has the same tastes they do. They 
like the idea that the HOA controls what color they paint their house, 
as long as the HOA tells people to use colors they already like. They 
like the idea that the HOA controls what people do with their property, 
as long as the HOA says they have to do things they were already going 
to do anyway. People blather on and on about freedom, but the ugly truth 
is freedom really means people doing things you personally don't like."

Here's the recording of last night's (2023-04-21) eight-hour-long Memo 
of the Air: Good Night Radio show on 107.7fm KNYO-LP Fort Bragg (CA) and 
KNYO.org:
https://tinyurl.com/KNYO-MOTA-0537

This particular show has all the features. RD Beacon, Del Potter, Paul 
Modic, Louis Bedrock, Douglas Coulter, Notty Bumbo, Emjay Wilson, 
Madeline Hagen, Caitlin Johnstone, Sarah Burris, Kent Wallace, Bruce 
Anderson, The Major (Mark Scaramella), Mitch Clogg, Ezekiel Krahlin (and 
Lucky and Flaco), Warren Hinckle (RIP), David Herstle Jones, creepy-eyed 
pregnant Midge, an entire jokes section, dream journal section, and 
twenty minutes of rapid-fire creepy-funny lies that mothers all over the 
world have told their children, all ending with Vincent Ialenti blowing 
our minds, as Jean Shepherd once did, with a vision of the far future, 
contemplation of times that will come, when each and all of us, all we 
care about and argue about and squabble over and build up and tear down 
and buy and sell and worship and revile, will be long ago and entirely 
forgotten, and that's a fact.

Email /your/ written work and I'll read it on the very next Memo of the 
Air on KNYO.

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 the 
show together. Such as:

There's the endless expansion theory, the big crunch theory, and then 
there's the /cosmic washing machine theory/, which is gaining adherents. 
The sound this universe makes can be heard by huffing gasoline. It's 
kind of /whanga-whanga-whanga-whanga-whanga/ going in and out of a 
squeezed tinnitus whine.

First generation of human-Gray hybrids, the early carefree days. That 
thing disguised as a rearview mirror? It's a tiny rectangular 
interocitor. How happy they are in this image. The world is their 
oyster, ripe for plucking, even in a month with an R in it, even though 
you can tell who they are among us today because they can't make that 
Scottish-Spanish Shakespearean rolling-R sound, nor open and close their 
nostrils without using their fingers. They have some advantages but they 
don't have the gene for those specific things. (via Fark)

What's really wrong here is, the glass frame is not fastened down 
properly and it could fall and shatter. But people who are pissed off 
because they think this school carnival game is sexually sick and 
inappropriate and a foot in the door for Satan (!), and who want the 
whole school staff fired for allowing it, are the ones with a screw 
loose. Or... wait... maybe the problem is one of disgust quotient. The 
game contestants' tongues are forever separated, spectators know that, 
but the lizard part of their brains doesn't know that. This reminds me 
of something I read years ago about how science has shown that 
right-wing authoritarian people, Evangelicals, racists, etc., are much 
more /viscerally disgusted/ by nearly everything than normal people are, 
and more driven by irrational primal fear in general. Even fear of their 
own thoughts, their own imagination, however stunted it might be. So 
they need to control others to keep them from doing and saying things 
that witnessing electrifies their misunderstanding and hatred of 
themselves. In a nutshell.

With your warm soft lib'rul hands! You want mah gun? Come /kiss/ me fur 
it, you weak soft pussy lib'ruls! Spank me fur it, hard, uh, but not 
hard enough ta hurt me, just enough so ah still feel safe." (via Tacky 
Raccoons) (You might have to click the sound on. Top-right.)
