	6:14am ?: "Gods & Monsters" © 2018 I don’t believe in gods & monsters I don’t believe in the afterlife I don’t believe in the heart of darkness Or even in the inner light I don’t believe a word you’ve spoken I don’t believe anything you say I don’t believe that you’ve been awoken Or even that there will come a day All I really wanna know is What is truth I don’t believe what I see on TV I don’t believe the fucking internet I don’t believe the half the shit that I see Or that you think that I’m that dumb yet I don’t believe I could give up caring I don’t believe I’d give up on love I don’t believe in the mask you’re wearing Or the hand that doesn’t fit the glove All I really wanna know is What is truth

	⚡ ♥ 6:26am Spikey BXL: ↳ newton @6:24 Time is doing its job. Was very happy not to need surgery. 3 weeks in cast should solve the initial issue. Thx for asking
	6:26am Fredericks: ↳ dday @6:18 Not familiar with Brill, but I agree about trust and polarization.

	♥ 6:35am dday: ↳ Song: "Lenox Avenue Breakdown" by "Arthur Blythe" I'm picturing Ron Burgundy on the tabletops, shooting flames from his flute of love
	♥ 6:36am Brian D: ↳ dday @6:35 I sort of look like that moving around Studio A.
	⚡ ♥ 6:36am fred: Good morning Brian and listeners
	♥ 6:38am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:36 Hello Fred. How are you feeling?
	⚡ ♥ 6:40am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: Good morning to you Fred!
	6:40am Toothgrinder Tom: What’s the buzz?
	6:40am Fredericks: ↳ Brian D @6:33 Hey there, Brian.
	6:41am Fredericks: ↳ dday @6:29 Apparently.
	♥ 6:42am dday: ↳ Fredericks @6:41 famous / infamous? :)
	⚡ ♥ 6:44am fred: ↳ Brian D @6:38 Better every day, thanks. I got a couple of leftover sutures removed, that helps. Main issues are ribs still hurting (this will take a while) and lingering effects from concussion (I used to get scintillating migraines a few times a year, now it's more like 3 times a day)
	⚡ ♥ 6:44am newton: I thought this was speaking wolves, but The dire wolf is an extinct canine. they lived in America in the late pleistocene
	♥ 6:48am William Hellfire: ↳ fred @6:44 Sorry to hear Fred. Earth isn't always kind. Groovy sonic healing via Brian.
	♥ 6:49am dday: ↳ fred @6:44 Oh my Fred! What happened? And get well quickly
	♥ 6:49am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:44 Aw man. That sucks. Hoping things improve soon.
	⚡ ♥ 6:50am fred: ↳ William Hellfire @6:48 To be fair, I shouldn't have headbutted Earth in the first place
	⚡ ♥ 6:50am newton: Wow Fred, that'sucks. scintilating on top of trauma. hope it resolves quickly
	⚡ ♥ 6:52am pgalub: Hey Brian and everyone.
	⚡ ♥ 6:55am fred: ↳ dday @6:49 I took a nasty spill down a flight of stairs two weeks ago
	♥ 6:55am dday: ↳ fred @6:50 Hey Fred.. are they true migraines or cluster headaches? newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org...
	6:55am rich in angleton: good morning everybody! hey Brian!
	♥ 6:55am Brian D: ↳ pgalub @6:52 Mr. Galub!
	♥ 6:55am Brian D: ↳ rich in angleton @6:55 Rich!
	♥ 6:57am TDK60: ↳ fred @6:55 Sorry to hear, Fred.
	♥ 6:58am William Hellfire: ↳ fred @6:50 Earth head butted you! I fell the other day too. Well, says my wife. I don't remember the earth attacking me. Better that way anyway.
	⚡ ♥ 6:59am newton: the earth will have it's way with us all
	6:59am Toothgrinder Tom: Swaying passionately?
	♥ 7:00am TDK60: Immigration isn't going to cease.
	⚡ ♥ 7:02am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ fred @6:55 Yikes! Glad you're still with us!
	⚡ ♥ 7:02am fred: ↳ dday @6:55 Neither I guess. I get a scintillating spot in my vision that expands into a circle over 20 minutes and fades, then a brutal headache
	⚡ ♥ 7:02am Spikey BXL: ↳ fred @6:55 this is not the synchronicity i was hoping for prompt retablissement à toi
	⚡ ♥ 7:03am Strandlund: Hello Everyone!!
	♥ 7:03am dday: ↳ fred @7:02 Check this out when you can. I hate to see anyone suffering pain of any kind, especially if there's away not to. Good Luck! newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org...
	♥ 7:05am TDK60: ↳ Spikey BXL @7:02 Morning, Spikey BXL: You got banged up also?
	7:05am Toothgrinder Tom: Is there any treatment available for migraines? Oliver Sacks got them.
	⚡ ♥ 7:06am newton: I get scintilating migraine. I take sumatriptan, which really helps me
	⚡ ♥ 7:07am fred: ↳ dday @7:03 Thanks, but since I'm on blood thinners, I can't take anything but paracetamol
	7:10am Toothgrinder Tom: Social media, the root of all evil.
	♥ 7:10am dday: ↳ fred @7:07 Cluster headaches are effectively treated with 100% oxygen inhalation so no Rx drugs per se..if that's what you deal with. Worth checking into. Migraines are often mis-diagnosed & so don't get treated properly if at all. I'm on four heart meds myself so I know what you mean
	♥ 7:11am dday: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @7:10 Yet...here we are ;)
	⚡ ♥ 7:15am fred: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @7:10 My only social media is WFMU. Most of the misinformation there are typos in band names
	♥ 7:15am Brian D: Link to NewsGuard report: www.newsguardtech.com...
	7:16am Cooh John: Good morning Brian and current eventers.
	♥ 7:16am Brian D: NewsGuard's misinformation tracking during the recent EU parliamentary elections: www.newsguardtech.com...
	♥ 7:25am dday: $$$$ drives content & is all medias godhead. there's no ethics involved, no decency just $$$$
	♥ 7:28am Brian D: ↳ dday @7:25 I'd only caution that many journalists/reporters want to report the truth. It's their organizations that want/need to make money.
	⚡ ♥ 7:28am Spikey BXL: ↳ TDK60 @7:05 fell, broke wrist
	♥ 7:29am full_english_breakfast: why not mention also that our own government / national security state is a purveyor of disinfo (e.g. the recent reuters report of pentagon spreading disinfo on Philippines social media about the chinese vaccine)
	♥ 7:29am dday: We can dance to the Truth or around it: www.youtube.com...
	♥ 7:29am drew: NewsGuard, brought to you by Oceania's Ministry of Truth.
	♥ 7:29am drew: The Ministry of Truth does not censor, it "puts up guard rails."
	♥ 7:30am Brian D: ↳ full_english_breakfast @7:29 Unfortunately, I only saw that report AFTER I recorded this. But very good point.
	⚡ ♥ 7:31am mespr: I am an online advertiser among other things, fighting the false allure of AI. I have a new social site about to launch that allows posters to have direct relations with advertisers. Industry has separated the liability between the content and the people who finance it. I have hope that this is solvable. The opposite problem exists in the East, You can't read reporting from Poland about atrocicities in Poland. See samizdatonline. We have to hide the source to beat the firewalls. Thank you for this discussion. It is very very on point.
	7:31am Jay in Boonton: Is this NPR? I am going to look for Russians under my bed.
	♥ 7:31am drew: At the root of all this, there never was truth in media. That was never the mission. And the 1st Amendment is designed to protect the kind of libelous yellow journalism that helped start the American Revolution.
	♥ 7:33am drew: Calling a "news" show a source of truth is called advertising.
	⚡ ♥ 7:33am dale: ↳ Song: "My Wallot Weighs Me Down" by "The Homeless Gospel... morning. thought this was b.j. snowden rocking out.
	♥ 7:33am TDK60: ↳ dday @7:25 Good morning dday. You must mean big mainstream media. A small newsletter/site by, say, Ralph Nader is a different thing. $ not top on their list.
	♥ 7:35am dday: In theory: So ..how do we know what Mr. Brill has stated is "truth?" To some degree everyone's "truth" is different & so our belief or non-belief in it follows. quite the conundrum
	⚡ ♥ 7:35am mespr: Censorship and freedom of speech are extremely complicated to navigate. The best thing to do is to air programs like this that help us peer through the curtain.
	⚡ ♥ 7:35am newton: they say you better listen to the voice of reason but they don't give you any choice 'cause they think that it's treason so you had better do what you were told you better listen to the radio
	⚡ ♥ 7:35am dale: ↳ Song: "My Wallot Weighs Me Down" by "The Homeless Gospel... looked him up on wiki - really reminds me of hamell on trial.
	7:36am morphe': INTERVIEW: Steven Brill.. his analogies were so simple and clear, but it seems that even clear discussion and examples and ... do not break through the fog of party politics and social media manipulation ... try to tell someone that Trump votes by mail and his products are mostly not made in the usa and the Nat'l debt would end if rich folk and biz paid taxes and ...
	⚡ ♥ 7:36am newton: how disinformation is profitable, which is the point that a lot of people go out of their way to miss
	⚡ ♥ 7:37am herb.nyc: ↳ Song: "My Wallot Weighs Me Down" by "The Homeless Gospel... Hiya. He sang “get yr dinner at the garbage dump”- I occasionally freegan. And scoop things from food scraps pile. And City Harvest is a “legit” form of this. But vg Brill interview- what’s w that 1996 fed regulation (?) absolving companies, ie, future social media sites, from certain liabilitues ? Maybe mark TECHTONIC hurst knows
	♥ 7:38am Brian D: www.nytimes.com...
	⚡ ♥ 7:38am newton: how that chasing after profit creates a social media world of not just misinformation, but actual malicious falsehood that in turn feeds the cycle and generates still more profit
	7:38am morphe': The good veg shop closes in moments here ... Thanks BD and all !!!!
	⚡ ♥ 7:39am newton: Wallace is king!
	⚡ ♥ 7:39am tom tom the pipers son: greetings all...
	♥ 7:40am dday: ↳ TDK60 @7:33 No. I meant what I said. Everyone is beholden to someone. Nader doesn't live in a money free society last I checked so while he may not be "swayed" by it as much as someone else, he still requires it to put out his product as does anyone else. It's just a different level of influence. As for First Amendment..either we want freedom of speech or we don't. No such thing as only freedom to say or read things I agree with. Discussion vs. argument is something I've always tried to live by..I see less & less of discussion these days.
	♥ 7:40am Brian D: ↳ herb.nyc @7:37 1996 Telecommunications Act. Section 230. Amazingly, the section governing liability for online content is only two paragraphs.
	7:40am pmcWhenever: cheese!
	⚡ ♥ 7:42am newton: ↳ newton @7:39 or was it Wallis, did they paste her cartoon face over Charles's?
	♥ 7:44am Brian D: ↳ newton @7:42 Wallis.
	♥ 7:44am William Hellfire: ↳ Song: "Cruel Brittania" by "David J" I got to see David J at Maxwell's Hoboken. Like 1991 ish.
	♥ 7:44am TDK60: ↳ dday @7:40 I think, say, an Elon Musk has different motivations than someone like R. Nader. Both need funds to operate of course. It's a matter of degree financially. But there are wildly different motivations.
	♥ 7:45am Brian D: ↳ William Hellfire @7:44 Man, that must have been something. The new collection really traces his whole output.
	♥ 7:48am dday: ↳ TDK60 @7:44 Of course. that was the point I was making: $$$ effect on level of influence. I voted for Nader :) way back when.
	⚡ ♥ 7:48am fred: ↳ William Hellfire @7:44 Todd-o phonic Todd probably booked that show, he might even have a tape somewhere
	⚡ ♥ 7:49am newton: ↳ dday @7:48 i voted for Pat Paulson
	⚡ ♥ 7:49am herb.nyc: ↳ Brian D @7:40 Holy party of the first part, Batman!
	♥ 7:49am dday: ↳ Brian D @7:40 1996/1776 Things need updating Tele. act & The U.S. Constitution but while one may happen the other most likely not
	⚡ ♥ 7:50am Krys O.: ↳ fred @7:02 Good morning, all! @fred: Sorry to hear you're getting ocular migraines. I used to get them for years. Went to a neurologist and ophthalmologist. Long story short: They were triggered by stress and fatigue, mostly from changes in the prescription of my eyeglasses. I've been free of the ocular migraines for years now. I have other issues with my vision, but that's that. Oh, my neuro doc gave me a sample of a migraine medication, but that only shortened the duration of the ocular migraine AND made me 10x more exhausted than I usually was after the ocular migraine without medication. That's another thing. Are you tired after the scintillating scotoma? (Sorry for the exhausting rant...)
	♥ 7:50am dday: ↳ newton @7:49 I liked Pat but he was a bit too sleepy for me :)
	♥ 7:51am Brian D: ↳ herb.nyc @7:49 The Batphone has been ringing ever since.
	♥ 7:51am William Hellfire: ↳ newton @7:49 2nd. Pat Paulson walks on water.
	♥ 7:51am Brian D: ↳ Krys O. @7:50 Hello Krys.
	♥ 7:52am William Hellfire: ↳ fred @7:48 Cool! I think it was a Sunday. Daytime show. No opening act.
	♥ 7:52am HyperDose: Krys and the kitties are here! :)
	⚡ ♥ 7:52am Spikey BXL: ↳ Song: "The Unholy Books" by "Aiwass" New to me, loving it. Eplosions in the sky / Russian Circles vibe
	⚡ ♥ 7:53am herb.nyc: ↳ Brian D @7:51 Haha. Imagine if lily tomlin‘a Ernestine was the operator of the Batphone
	♥ 7:53am TDK60: ↳ dday @7:48 Dday- I'm not a Nader partisan. But if one might imagine a spectrum between Veracity and Mendacity. I think we might see Musk way over toward the M. end and Nader over by the V. side of the meter. Hee.
	⚡ ♥ 7:53am newton: Krys, I listened to your archived show from april 1st last year last night. Just want to say I really enjoyed it
	⚡ ♥ 7:53am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ dday @7:49 did you see ari berman of mother jones talking about constitution a couple of months ago alluding to trump and constitution... he actually follows it
	⚡ ♥ 7:53am Krys O.: ↳ newton @7:53 Thank you!
	♥ 7:54am Brian D: ↳ herb.nyc @7:53 I don't think we need to imagine it in this analogy.
	♥ 7:55am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:53 Belated greetings, Tom Tom.
	⚡ ♥ 7:56am fred: ↳ Krys O. @7:50 Good morning Krys. Yeah, after the headache fades, I'm exhausted. But I'm used to exhaustion (a steady regimen of shows trained me) so I know to postpone decisions or at least flag them for later review (software allows that) In this case, I had a concussion that amplified a latent ailment. Not much to do with a concussion except wait
	⚡ ♥ 7:56am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:53 berman on "minority rule"
	♥ 7:56am TDK60: ↳ herb.nyc @7:53 Oh, hello herb.nyc! I was the one who came by your stall yesterday in Union Square. Never know what you'll find down there.
	⚡ ♥ 7:56am herb.nyc: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:53 Aside- I saw ARI and thought of Ari Fleischer, ex spokesman for dubya (am I right?). He was on Jon Stewart show and latter just gave him puffball questions. I don’t watch Jon’s show (then) but was that an anomaly? That he’s more hard hitting w guests?
	♥ 7:56am HyperDose: ↳ Song: "Care" by "Hana Vu" Sick vocal mix
	⚡ ♥ 7:56am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @7:55 hello brian...
	⚡ ♥ 7:57am herb.nyc: ↳ Song: "Care" by "Hana Vu" Wow. Like this song. Never heard. Her surname rhymes w mine
	♥ 7:57am dday: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:53 no..honestly.... I'm much too busy with medical issues around here to follow / watch much of anything. The hours between 6&9 am EST are my only down time...usually spent with WFMU I have been advocating for a rewrite of the document for many years now. Severely outdated when it comes to modern day societal needs.
	7:58am Rosa: Did anyone catch the tune on GTD about 15 min ago? It was before alasdair Roberts. Romesh something? - singer sounded similar to esma redzepova and selda bagçan. Wrong channel I know but no chat on there!
	⚡ ♥ 7:58am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ herb.nyc @7:56 in general, i think he does better from what i've seen
	⚡ ♥ 7:59am Will thee SG OCNY: Good morning Brian D and all!!!
	♥ 7:59am TDK60: ↳ Rosa @7:58 Morning Rosa. Yes, Alasdair Roberts, great youngish Scots folkster. I dig him.
	8:01am morphe': I'm in a time change confusion ... thought the show was ending ... Yeah!! for more...
	⚡ ♥ 8:01am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:56 www.youtube.com...
	⚡ ♥ 8:01am herb.nyc: ↳ TDK60 @7:56 Hey señor tdk60. I DOES remember you, and thx for taking a detour to say hi. I think you and I prove Andy breckman WRONG- as we are 2 well adjusted socially mature wfmu listeners. What the hell does Andy know?
	♥ 8:02am TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @7:59 Rosa, I probably found out about A.R. thru WFMU, possibly Jeffrey Davison's old folk show "Shrunken Planet."
	♥ 8:02am Brian D: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @7:59 Greetings Will!
	⚡ ♥ 8:02am herb.nyc: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:58 Thx. And he’s got a Monday gig back at his old show. Not seen
	♥ 8:04am TDK60: ↳ herb.nyc @8:01 herb.nyc: Who's Andy Breckman? {smile}
	⚡ ♥ 8:05am herb.nyc: ↳ TDK60 @8:04 He’s the host of the lowest arbitron rated wfmu program.
	⚡ ♥ 8:05am fred: ↳ Song: "Clip: ABC-Chiquita Banana ordered to pay settleme... Aren't these fruit companies where the term "banana republic" comes from?
	⚡ ♥ 8:06am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ herb.nyc @8:02 i watch on youtube, recent interview with non maga republican was pretty good, stewart took him down a notch
	8:06am morphe': ↳ TDK60 @8:02 TDK ... sent ya a few words on one of the other internets...
	♥ 8:06am Brian D: ↳ fred @8:05 Actually, it's a little more racist than that. But yes, American fruit companies have been messing with the politics in those countries for decades.
	⚡ ♥ 8:06am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:05 yes
	8:07am Jason: @Rosa Based on https://onlineradiobox.com/us/wfmusgivethedrummer/playlist/ it was Ramesh - Ghoroobaa Ghashangan
	♥ 8:07am HyperDose: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @7:59 Good morning, Will!
	⚡ ♥ 8:08am fred: ↳ herb.nyc @8:05 I still have the "where's my $2" T-shirt set aside, just in case he shows up for a Q&A in Paris someday
	⚡ ♥ 8:08am herb.nyc: ↳ Song: "Fruit & Tree" by "Conflict at Serenity Pools" Oops, song went into a diff direction, suddenly. Was gonna say it made me think of the Clientele. And latter has an nyc show, gotta find out where when.
	⚡ ♥ 8:09am herb.nyc: ↳ fred @8:08 Haha. I’m gonna sharpie such a tee. What’s the back story?
	⚡ ♥ 8:10am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @8:06 one reason why i find muybridge's photos of coffee plantations so arresting www.metmuseum.org...
	⚡ ♥ 8:11am fred: ↳ herb.nyc @8:09 It was a 7SD premium years ago, the idea is that if you meet Andy or Ken wearing that T-shirt, they have to pay you $2 on the spot
	♥ 8:14am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:10 Yes. And some contemporary photos: photoville.nyc...
	8:14am Rosa: @Jason Thanks! I couldn’t find the playlist - new here! 🥲
	⚡ ♥ 8:18am newton: pictures of coffee harvesting strip mining for beans none of them magic
	⚡ ♥ 8:20am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @8:14 i don't know where muybridge's politics was, but i find his photos, de facto, cultural critique and their distance and objectivity more successful institutional critique than the modern photos which i find more subjective
	♥ 8:22am Handy Haversack: Morning, Brian and Currents Events.

	♥ 8:23am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:20 Fair point. Muybridge clearly influenced Salgado.

The "Triple Feature" includes the globally acclaimed 32 Sounds (2022) with JD Samson (Le Tigre, MEN), The Love Song of R. Buckminster Fuller (2012) with Yo La Tengo, and A Thousand Thoughts, a live documentary with the Kronos Quartet (2018) performed for the final time in New York City, and featuring the final NYC performances of members Hank Dutt and John... … Green will narrate the piece live onstage while the Kronos Quartet performs the score, and a rich blend of archival footage, photos, and interviews with members of the Kronos Quartet-as well as longtime collaborators like Philip Glass, Laurie Anderson, Terry Riley, Tanya Tagaq, Steve Reich-unspools on screen. The magic of cinema combines with the energy and urgency of live performance to create incredibly rich moments that remind us of the value in the unique, the handcrafted, the ephemeral, and something that is never
	♥ 8:43am Franco Twinkie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:35 For sure! The conversational style of John Cippolina and Gary Duncan foretold Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd.
	⚡ ♥ 8:44am Spikey BXL: ↳ Song: "Formed Around" by "Bats & Mice" voice sounds SO familiar without being able to put my finger on it
	♥ 8:44am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Brian, radioronan. Yes, his first hike has been postponed.
	8:45am Toothgrinder Tom: I like Jon Stewart (he’s funny and witty and smart and mentally quick on his feet) but sometimes I wonder if the same things Bill Maher gets criticized for applies to Stewart as well (as in when Bill Burr recently said he was equivalent to a fantasy football player who thinks he could really manage an NFL team). I’m generally skeptical of punditry as a profession.

	⚡ ♥ 8:50am fred: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @8:45 I don't like Stewart as an interviewer. He often either bullies and talks all the time or just folds and shows too much respect (to people who don't deserve it). He can do some good interviews, but not often enough
	⚡ ♥ 8:50am Spikey BXL: ↳ Brian D @8:46 Now that makes total sense. Was thinking City and Colour
	♥ 8:51am HyperDose: ↳ Song: "Fables" by "Interpol" Interpol on a Saturday morning is the right thing to do

	6:40am Toothgrinder Tom: What’s the buzz?
	6:40am Fredericks: ↳ Brian D @6:33 Hey there, Brian.
	6:41am Fredericks: ↳ dday @6:29 Apparently.
	♥ 6:42am dday: ↳ Fredericks @6:41 famous / infamous? :)
	⚡ ♥ 6:44am fred: ↳ Brian D @6:38 Better every day, thanks. I got a couple of leftover sutures removed, that helps. Main issues are ribs still hurting (this will take a while) and lingering effects from concussion (I used to get scintillating migraines a few times a year, now it's more like 3 times a day)
	⚡ ♥ 6:44am newton: I thought this was speaking wolves, but The dire wolf is an extinct canine. they lived in America in the late pleistocene

	♥ 7:05am TDK60: ↳ Spikey BXL @7:02 Morning, Spikey BXL: You got banged up also?
	7:05am Toothgrinder Tom: Is there any treatment available for migraines? Oliver Sacks got them.
	⚡ ♥ 7:06am newton: I get scintilating migraine. I take sumatriptan, which really helps me
	⚡ ♥ 7:07am fred: ↳ dday @7:03 Thanks, but since I'm on blood thinners, I can't take anything but paracetamol
	7:10am Toothgrinder Tom: Social media, the root of all evil.
	♥ 7:10am dday: ↳ fred @7:07 Cluster headaches are effectively treated with 100% oxygen inhalation so no Rx drugs per se..if that's what you deal with. Worth checking into. Migraines are often mis-diagnosed & so don't get treated properly if at all. I'm on four heart meds myself so I know what you mean
	♥ 7:11am dday: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @7:10 Yet...here we are ;)
	⚡ ♥ 7:15am fred: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @7:10 My only social media is WFMU. Most of the misinformation there are typos in band names
	♥ 7:15am Brian D: Link to NewsGuard report: www.newsguardtech.com...
	7:16am Cooh John: Good morning Brian and current eventers.
	♥ 7:16am Brian D: NewsGuard's misinformation tracking during the recent EU parliamentary elections: www.newsguardtech.com...
	♥ 7:25am dday: $$$$ drives content & is all medias godhead. there's no ethics involved, no decency just $$$$
	♥ 7:28am Brian D: ↳ dday @7:25 I'd only caution that many journalists/reporters want to report the truth. It's their organizations that want/need to make money.
	⚡ ♥ 7:28am Spikey BXL: ↳ TDK60 @7:05 fell, broke wrist
	♥ 7:29am full_english_breakfast: why not mention also that our own government / national security state is a purveyor of disinfo (e.g. the recent reuters report of pentagon spreading disinfo on Philippines social media about the chinese vaccine)
	♥ 7:29am dday: We can dance to the Truth or around it: www.youtube.com...
	♥ 7:29am drew: NewsGuard, brought to you by Oceania's Ministry of Truth.
	♥ 7:29am drew: The Ministry of Truth does not censor, it "puts up guard rails."
	♥ 7:30am Brian D: ↳ full_english_breakfast @7:29 Unfortunately, I only saw that report AFTER I recorded this. But very good point.
	⚡ ♥ 7:31am mespr: I am an online advertiser among other things, fighting the false allure of AI. I have a new social site about to launch that allows posters to have direct relations with advertisers. Industry has separated the liability between the content and the people who finance it. I have hope that this is solvable. The opposite problem exists in the East, You can't read reporting from Poland about atrocicities in Poland. See samizdatonline. We have to hide the source to beat the firewalls. Thank you for this discussion. It is very very on point.
	7:31am Jay in Boonton: Is this NPR? I am going to look for Russians under my bed.
	♥ 7:31am drew: At the root of all this, there never was truth in media. That was never the mission. And the 1st Amendment is designed to protect the kind of libelous yellow journalism that helped start the American Revolution.
	♥ 7:33am drew: Calling a "news" show a source of truth is called advertising.
	⚡ ♥ 7:33am dale: ↳ Song: "My Wallot Weighs Me Down" by "The Homeless Gospel... morning. thought this was b.j. snowden rocking out.
	♥ 7:33am TDK60: ↳ dday @7:25 Good morning dday. You must mean big mainstream media. A small newsletter/site by, say, Ralph Nader is a different thing. $ not top on their list.
	♥ 7:35am dday: In theory: So ..how do we know what Mr. Brill has stated is "truth?" To some degree everyone's "truth" is different & so our belief or non-belief in it follows. quite the conundrum
	⚡ ♥ 7:35am mespr: Censorship and freedom of speech are extremely complicated to navigate. The best thing to do is to air programs like this that help us peer through the curtain.
	⚡ ♥ 7:35am newton: they say you better listen to the voice of reason but they don't give you any choice 'cause they think that it's treason so you had better do what you were told you better listen to the radio
	⚡ ♥ 7:35am dale: ↳ Song: "My Wallot Weighs Me Down" by "The Homeless Gospel... looked him up on wiki - really reminds me of hamell on trial.
	7:36am morphe': INTERVIEW: Steven Brill.. his analogies were so simple and clear, but it seems that even clear discussion and examples and ... do not break through the fog of party politics and social media manipulation ... try to tell someone that Trump votes by mail and his products are mostly not made in the usa and the Nat'l debt would end if rich folk and biz paid taxes and ...
	⚡ ♥ 7:36am newton: how disinformation is profitable, which is the point that a lot of people go out of their way to miss
	⚡ ♥ 7:37am herb.nyc: ↳ Song: "My Wallot Weighs Me Down" by "The Homeless Gospel... Hiya. He sang “get yr dinner at the garbage dump”- I occasionally freegan. And scoop things from food scraps pile. And City Harvest is a “legit” form of this. But vg Brill interview- what’s w that 1996 fed regulation (?) absolving companies, ie, future social media sites, from certain liabilitues ? Maybe mark TECHTONIC hurst knows
	♥ 7:38am Brian D: www.nytimes.com...
	⚡ ♥ 7:38am newton: how that chasing after profit creates a social media world of not just misinformation, but actual malicious falsehood that in turn feeds the cycle and generates still more profit
	7:38am morphe': The good veg shop closes in moments here ... Thanks BD and all !!!!
	⚡ ♥ 7:39am newton: Wallace is king!
	⚡ ♥ 7:39am tom tom the pipers son: greetings all...
	♥ 7:40am dday: ↳ TDK60 @7:33 No. I meant what I said. Everyone is beholden to someone. Nader doesn't live in a money free society last I checked so while he may not be "swayed" by it as much as someone else, he still requires it to put out his product as does anyone else. It's just a different level of influence. As for First Amendment..either we want freedom of speech or we don't. No such thing as only freedom to say or read things I agree with. Discussion vs. argument is something I've always tried to live by..I see less & less of discussion these days.
	♥ 7:40am Brian D: ↳ herb.nyc @7:37 1996 Telecommunications Act. Section 230. Amazingly, the section governing liability for online content is only two paragraphs.
	7:40am pmcWhenever: cheese!
	⚡ ♥ 7:42am newton: ↳ newton @7:39 or was it Wallis, did they paste her cartoon face over Charles's?
	♥ 7:44am Brian D: ↳ newton @7:42 Wallis.
	♥ 7:44am William Hellfire: ↳ Song: "Cruel Brittania" by "David J" I got to see David J at Maxwell's Hoboken. Like 1991 ish.
	♥ 7:44am TDK60: ↳ dday @7:40 I think, say, an Elon Musk has different motivations than someone like R. Nader. Both need funds to operate of course. It's a matter of degree financially. But there are wildly different motivations.
	♥ 7:45am Brian D: ↳ William Hellfire @7:44 Man, that must have been something. The new collection really traces his whole output.
	♥ 7:48am dday: ↳ TDK60 @7:44 Of course. that was the point I was making: $$$ effect on level of influence. I voted for Nader :) way back when.
	⚡ ♥ 7:48am fred: ↳ William Hellfire @7:44 Todd-o phonic Todd probably booked that show, he might even have a tape somewhere
	⚡ ♥ 7:49am newton: ↳ dday @7:48 i voted for Pat Paulson

	⚡ ♥ 7:50am Krys O.: ↳ fred @7:02 Good morning, all! @fred: Sorry to hear you're getting ocular migraines. I used to get them for years. Went to a neurologist and ophthalmologist. Long story short: They were triggered by stress and fatigue, mostly from changes in the prescription of my eyeglasses. I've been free of the ocular migraines for years now. I have other issues with my vision, but that's that. Oh, my neuro doc gave me a sample of a migraine medication, but that only shortened the duration of the ocular migraine AND made me 10x more exhausted than I usually was after the ocular migraine without medication. That's another thing. Are you tired after the scintillating scotoma? (Sorry for the exhausting rant...)
	♥ 7:50am dday: ↳ newton @7:49 I liked Pat but he was a bit too sleepy for me :)
	♥ 7:51am Brian D: ↳ herb.nyc @7:49 The Batphone has been ringing ever since.
	♥ 7:51am William Hellfire: ↳ newton @7:49 2nd. Pat Paulson walks on water.
	♥ 7:51am Brian D: ↳ Krys O. @7:50 Hello Krys.
	♥ 7:52am William Hellfire: ↳ fred @7:48 Cool! I think it was a Sunday. Daytime show. No opening act.
	♥ 7:52am HyperDose: Krys and the kitties are here! :)

	⚡ ♥ 7:53am herb.nyc: ↳ Brian D @7:51 Haha. Imagine if lily tomlin‘a Ernestine was the operator of the Batphone
	♥ 7:53am TDK60: ↳ dday @7:48 Dday- I'm not a Nader partisan. But if one might imagine a spectrum between Veracity and Mendacity. I think we might see Musk way over toward the M. end and Nader over by the V. side of the meter. Hee.
	⚡ ♥ 7:53am newton: Krys, I listened to your archived show from april 1st last year last night. Just want to say I really enjoyed it
	⚡ ♥ 7:53am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ dday @7:49 did you see ari berman of mother jones talking about constitution a couple of months ago alluding to trump and constitution... he actually follows it
	⚡ ♥ 7:53am Krys O.: ↳ newton @7:53 Thank you!
	♥ 7:54am Brian D: ↳ herb.nyc @7:53 I don't think we need to imagine it in this analogy.
	♥ 7:55am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:53 Belated greetings, Tom Tom.
	⚡ ♥ 7:56am fred: ↳ Krys O. @7:50 Good morning Krys. Yeah, after the headache fades, I'm exhausted. But I'm used to exhaustion (a steady regimen of shows trained me) so I know to postpone decisions or at least flag them for later review (software allows that) In this case, I had a concussion that amplified a latent ailment. Not much to do with a concussion except wait

	♥ 7:56am TDK60: ↳ herb.nyc @7:53 Oh, hello herb.nyc! I was the one who came by your stall yesterday in Union Square. Never know what you'll find down there.
	⚡ ♥ 7:56am herb.nyc: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:53 Aside- I saw ARI and thought of Ari Fleischer, ex spokesman for dubya (am I right?). He was on Jon Stewart show and latter just gave him puffball questions. I don’t watch Jon’s show (then) but was that an anomaly? That he’s more hard hitting w guests?
	♥ 7:56am HyperDose: ↳ Song: "Care" by "Hana Vu" Sick vocal mix

	♥ 7:57am dday: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:53 no..honestly.... I'm much too busy with medical issues around here to follow / watch much of anything. The hours between 6&9 am EST are my only down time...usually spent with WFMU I have been advocating for a rewrite of the document for many years now. Severely outdated when it comes to modern day societal needs.
	7:58am Rosa: Did anyone catch the tune on GTD about 15 min ago? It was before alasdair Roberts. Romesh something? - singer sounded similar to esma redzepova and selda bagçan. Wrong channel I know but no chat on there!

	♥ 8:02am TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @7:59 Rosa, I probably found out about A.R. thru WFMU, possibly Jeffrey Davison's old folk show "Shrunken Planet."

	⚡ ♥ 8:05am fred: ↳ Song: "Clip: ABC-Chiquita Banana ordered to pay settleme... Aren't these fruit companies where the term "banana republic" comes from?
	⚡ ♥ 8:06am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ herb.nyc @8:02 i watch on youtube, recent interview with non maga republican was pretty good, stewart took him down a notch
	8:06am morphe': ↳ TDK60 @8:02 TDK ... sent ya a few words on one of the other internets...
	♥ 8:06am Brian D: ↳ fred @8:05 Actually, it's a little more racist than that. But yes, American fruit companies have been messing with the politics in those countries for decades.

	⚡ ♥ 8:08am herb.nyc: ↳ Song: "Fruit & Tree" by "Conflict at Serenity Pools" Oops, song went into a diff direction, suddenly. Was gonna say it made me think of the Clientele. And latter has an nyc show, gotta find out where when.
	⚡ ♥ 8:09am herb.nyc: ↳ fred @8:08 Haha. I’m gonna sharpie such a tee. What’s the back story?
	⚡ ♥ 8:10am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @8:06 one reason why i find muybridge's photos of coffee plantations so arresting www.metmuseum.org...
	⚡ ♥ 8:11am fred: ↳ herb.nyc @8:09 It was a 7SD premium years ago, the idea is that if you meet Andy or Ken wearing that T-shirt, they have to pay you $2 on the spot
	♥ 8:14am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:10 Yes. And some contemporary photos: photoville.nyc...
	8:14am Rosa: @Jason Thanks! I couldn’t find the playlist - new here! 🥲
	⚡ ♥ 8:18am newton: pictures of coffee harvesting strip mining for beans none of them magic
	⚡ ♥ 8:20am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @8:14 i don't know where muybridge's politics was, but i find his photos, de facto, cultural critique and their distance and objectivity more successful institutional critique than the modern photos which i find more subjective

The "Triple Feature" includes the globally acclaimed 32 Sounds (2022) with JD Samson (Le Tigre, MEN), The Love Song of R. Buckminster Fuller (2012) with Yo La Tengo, and A Thousand Thoughts, a live documentary with the Kronos Quartet (2018) performed for the final time in New York City, and featuring the final NYC performances of members Hank Dutt and John... … Green will narrate the piece live onstage while the Kronos Quartet performs the score, and a rich blend of archival footage, photos, and interviews with members of the Kronos Quartet-as well as longtime collaborators like Philip Glass, Laurie Anderson, Terry Riley, Tanya Tagaq, Steve Reich-unspools on screen. The magic of cinema combines with the energy and urgency of live performance to create incredibly rich moments that remind us of the value in the unique, the handcrafted, the ephemeral, and something that is never
	♥ 8:43am Franco Twinkie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:35 For sure! The conversational style of John Cippolina and Gary Duncan foretold Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd.
	⚡ ♥ 8:44am Spikey BXL: ↳ Song: "Formed Around" by "Bats & Mice" voice sounds SO familiar without being able to put my finger on it
	♥ 8:44am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Brian, radioronan. Yes, his first hike has been postponed.
	8:45am Toothgrinder Tom: I like Jon Stewart (he’s funny and witty and smart and mentally quick on his feet) but sometimes I wonder if the same things Bill Maher gets criticized for applies to Stewart as well (as in when Bill Burr recently said he was equivalent to a fantasy football player who thinks he could really manage an NFL team). I’m generally skeptical of punditry as a profession.
	⚡ ♥ 8:45am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @8:43 Ha! i share a concert story with YOU

	⚡ ♥ 8:50am fred: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @8:45 I don't like Stewart as an interviewer. He often either bullies and talks all the time or just folds and shows too much respect (to people who don't deserve it). He can do some good interviews, but not often enough
	⚡ ♥ 8:50am Spikey BXL: ↳ Brian D @8:46 Now that makes total sense. Was thinking City and Colour
	♥ 8:51am HyperDose: ↳ Song: "Fables" by "Interpol" Interpol on a Saturday morning is the right thing to do
