Fluid dynamics (apparently Joseph Allen's speciality) is an important science to add to the conversation. The only valid criticism I can see is him framing it as "ventilation versus masking" instead of "in addition to".

Okay, listening forward, yeah, an anti-masking fluid dynamics engineer is problematic. But many FDEs are not crazy like this.

i want to s/o E G McRae's "mothers of massive resistance" (2018) b/c i think opposition to "unmasking is murder" & combatting social murder is related to support for lynching "as honor killings" that underlie opposing intl law & federal law.

There have been articles about how Charles Koch astroturfed opposition to masks, particularly in schools. I think the business community dislikes masks because a mask is a visible reminder of a pandemic that is not over. A mask mandate accentuates this perceptual/visual problem. If you have a mask mandate because Covid still sucks, why not allow kids to stay home if Covid is bad during a winter or late spring surge? Then parents don't drive to work. People pull back on consumption activities. A family decides not to book an airplane trip to Disneyland. That costs oil barrons money.

10000000% the "upper limit" of dates is ridiculous.

We discuss the work of underground filmmaker Damon Packard and focus on his films REFLECTIONS OF EVIL, THE UNTITLED STAR WARS MOCKUMENTARY, and FOXFUR.

#299 - The Inland Empires of Damon Packard

Hello, this is your phone speaking. I just wanted to say that it's real nice and cosy inside your pocket. I bet you thought I'd say it stinks of coins and thighs, but that's just your inner critic trying to trip you up again. You're your own worst enemy, when you gotta be your own biggest cheerleader, cos there aint anyone else around here who's gonna do it, except for maybe your housekeys.

Hello this is your housekeys. Gimme a Y. Gimme a O. Gimme a U. That's spells YOU. As in YOU are amazing. Thanks for putting me in your pocket with your phone. I'm going to ruin the GorillaGlass while I think about how brilliant you are.

In this episode, Log is a professional videogames voice actor now. Gav is offered a genuine-y boda-fide-y Blue Tick. And Steve has a coincidence happen on him.

Get ready!

We look back at how such a basic intervention as masking during a pandemic became increasingly scrutinized, undermined, and ultimately stigmatized in mainstream discourse over the last three years.

How Liberals Killed Masking (Unlocked)

What was the Enlightenment? A time of wigs, books and noble thoughts? Or was it a little more swashbuckling than that, and perhaps wearing an eye patch? 

The final book by David Graeber is concerned with pirates and their lives: nasty, brutish and short, for sure – but also free and strikingly egalitarian. In Pirate Enlightenment, or the Real Libertalia, the late anarchist and anthropologist argues that democracy was born less with a flick of the quill than with a lot of brutish captains being made to walk the plank.

To discuss Graeber's pirates and the radical history of the high seas, Eleanor Penny is joined by Marcus Rediker, distinguished professor of Atlantic history at the University of Pittsburgh. His books include Villains of All Nations: Atlantic Pirates in the Golden Age and The Slave Ship: A Human History.

Novara Audio: Radio For A Different Politics

Novara FM: Liberty, Democracy, Piracy w/ Marcus Rediker

The United States tries to keep people in the dark about the blockade against Cuba and the many accomplishments of the Cuban Revolution. This is part of the U.S. campaign to overturn the socialist government in Cuba that has successfully led its people through more than 60 years of attacks, attempted coups, sanctions, trade embargoes, and the Covid pandemic.

Brian is joined by Gloria La Riva, the coordinator of the Cuba and Venezuela Solidarity Committee and a longtime leader of brigades to Cuba to learn and expose people in the United States to the realities on the ground, and Aminah Sheikh, who is a labor and community organizer active in the Canadian peace movement.

The People of the World Stand With Cuba Against the U.S. Blockade

The Modern Odyssey Vol.2 is a collection of 10 Original samples that journey into the space of Jazz, Psychedelic, Fusion and Soul recordings of the early 1970s era. All loops were processed, chopped & manipulated in a modern context that gives immediate inspiration and makes it easy for any producer to just drop in any DAW and start cookin up. This has been my favorite series on the library thus far because it gives me the freedom to take exclusive Jazz, Soul or R&B compositions I've made in the past and explore new ways of processing & manipulating them in ways that create unique tones, pitches and rhythms that can't be achieved thru analog equipment. At it's root every sample was recorded thru all my analog equipment that has grown over the years with vintage keyboards like the Rhodes Chroma, Roland RS505, ARP Solina, Fender Rhodes, Hammond B3, Pianos, vintage guitar amps, live vocals, mics including the Sony C37a, RCA Bx44, U47 Fet, EMT Reverb Plate, Ampex 440b + tons more. All Demos on this playlist are included and available exclusively at Polyphonicmusiclibrary.com

Exploring Dissonance contains 20 Jazz piano loops, 19 Dissonant piano textures and 2 full length tutorials on Jazz Piano Theory and texture. This pack highlights dissonant chord progressions mixed with strong melodic leads lines, inspired from what you might hear from an Italian or French film from the early 1970s. All piano parts were recorded on a Yamaha C7 Grand Piano using a stereo pair of Coles 4038 mics, Sony C37a and a Neumann U47 fet thru a Trident A-Range Console. All Demos on this playlist are included and available exclusively at Polyphonicmusiclibrary.com

Shake On It

On today's episode Brian and Prof. Richard Wolff discuss how economic powerhouses like China, Russia, Brazil and others are moving away from using the dollar, changing its status as the world’s reserve currency. This shift could erode the power that U.S. banks and corporations have relied on for decades.

Professor Richard Wolff is an author & co-founder of the organization Democracy at Work. You can find his work at rdwolff.com.

Dollar Imperialism and Its Decline

We begin with a rundown of recent events, from the Coronation to the CNN Trump town hall to the Liberal Party of Canada's recent convention, before discussing this month's Superdelegate pick: the beloved comedy GALAXY QUEST (1999). We situate the film's satire in the context of 1999-era fan culture, and hash over our own respective histories with the Star Trek franchise. PLUS: a dive into a young Tucker Carlson's journalism.

#426 - By Grapthar's Hammer

A ragtag gang of Beltway misfits discover how to start a proxy war in CHARLIE WILSON'S WAR (2007), a lighthearted look at American intervention from the combined forces of Tom Hanks, Mike Nichols, and Aaron Sorkin. We discuss how this celebration of the Reagan Doctrine from the very heart of "liberal Hollywood" offers a, shall we say, sanitized version of the end of the Cold War. PLUS: We discuss matters Pablo-matic and not.
