[Kzyxtalk] MOTA: Good Night Radio show all night tonight on KNYO!

Subject: MOTA: Good Night Radio show all night tonight on KNYO!

Soft deadline to email your writing for tonight's (Friday night's) MOTA 
show is 6pm or so. If you can't make that, that's okay, send it whenever 
it's done and I'll read it on the radio next week.

Memo of the Air: Good Night Radio is every Friday, 9pm to 5am PST on 
107.7fm KNYO-LP Fort Bragg and KNYO.org. The first hour of the show is 
simulcast on KAKX 89.3fm Mendocino.

Plus you can always go to https://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com and hear 
last week's MOTA show. By Saturday night I'll put up the recording of 
tonight's show. Also there you'll find an assortment of 
cultural-educational amusements to occupy you until showtime, or any 
time, such as:

Arabs got talent. Apparently wow is wow in all the languages. This is 
less robotically precise than the famous Asian troupes that do this sort 
of thing, but it kind of adds to the experience, for me.

I've been reading books from the library in the Internet Archive. You 
might have to make an account and log in to read more than a sample of 
this or that. I have had some trouble logging in, depending on what 
computer I use, but no trouble ever when I just let it log me in via my 
Google account. Here's something via Futility Closet that I saw today.

On the other hand, giant publishing companies sued the Internet Archive 
over the lending of just 178 books, and won, which set a precedent so 
the Archive just this last week /had to remove half a million titles 
from lending. Also in the one-step-forward ten-steps-back department, 
Oklahoma just required public schools to have a bible in every classroom 
and for teachers to teach from it. Next stop, Republic of Gilead. Or 
maybe the train won't be stopping at all, and it'll be like /Snowpiercer/.

And "Sauron is often portrayed as a force of pure domination and 
destruction, but that was more Morgoth's deal, Sauron was originally a 
student of Aule, the Smith God, and was interested in a perfectly 
ordered world that progressed through industry and craft. In a way 
Sauron's was the world that came to be, organized advanced industrial 
capitalism (or the Soviet system, I doubt Tolkien saw too much 
difference) which globalizes the economy and destroys local traditions."

If you want to do radio from KNYO's place on Franklin Street, everything 
you need is there. It's easy and fun. Bob Young will get you started. 
Contact him: bobb at poetworld.net. If you'd like to set up your own remote 
studio to do radio on KNYO, or to record your real-life, non-A.I. music, 
or whatever, I can advise you. It's cheap and if you're reading this in 
the comfort of your own place, which you are, you already have most of 
the kit right where you are. I'll be doing my show tonight from Albion, 
for example.
