Cortex and I decided to make up for lost time after the delayed previous episode by knocking out another one quick-like, and here it is! Catching up on what we can of the last couple of months of MeFi, and also ranting and philosophizing a little bit about recent seismic changes in the social media sphere and also about design skeuomorphism and the semiotics of interfaces? That last bit is probably overselling it a little?

It's episode 186 of the MeFi podcast, with Jessamyn and I...and loup! Who joined us to talk a bit about their experiences with internet past and present and their last couple of years as they've been working here. The three of us have a long and winding conversation about community management, internet ethics, MeFi in particular, the recent transition process, etc. Runs about 90 minutes.Helpful LinksPodcast FeedSubscribe with iTunesDirect mp3 downloadWe were so busy just talking about Stuff that we did very little of the normal thread review this time, so the notes are real short.

Random podcast bonus content! Jessamyn and I decided to do a mid-month episode to just chat about a couple media things we liked. Is it a FanFare podcast? I dunno! Will we keep doing it? I dunno! But it was fun and so here it is. We talk about V Rising, a survive-o-craft vampire game I have been very much enjoying, and about Severance, a TV show that we have both enjoyed tremendously. Runs just about an hour.Helpful LinksPodcast FeedSubscribe with iTunesDirect mp3 download- V Rising's homepage - Severance on FanFare - that's all for links, what do you want from me, I don't even work here

It's episode 185 of the MeFi Monthly Podcast, with Jessamyn and I talking for a good chunk up front about the whole process over the last couple months of figuring out transferring ownership of the site from me to her.

It was a very busy turn of the month so we're wandering in pretty late with this episode. I talk a little bit about my recent decision to transition away from running MetaFilter (but we'll, inter alia, keep podcasting); Jessamyn and I talk about MeFi stuff as per usual; we establish that she started watching the wrong show and couldn't figure out why people liked it; and we chatter about at least three words we're not sure how to pronounce and establish, once more, that neither of us can read IPA.

In our triumphant return to posting podcasts at the turn of the month, Jess and I talk about time management and reminders, complicated conversational dynamics, the assassination of JFK (but only very briefly), and a bunch of somewhat more MetaFilter-centric things. We time-managed our way up to about 93 minutes. Also I play a euphonium.Helpful LinksPodcast FeedSubscribe with iTunesDirect mp3 downloadMisc - talkin' about fake cash which led to an old MeFi post - Chicken in the Corn - hey it's cranberry jelly - twitter discussion about trauma dumping - CALENDRICAL - jessamyn did some filing Jobs - Greasemonkey (or other) script to enable downloads by jessamyn - Shop at arch salvage store in Portland, OR for me by arnicae - Full Stack Developer by jchan Projects - Skittish, a playful space for online events by waxpancake - The Fucking Bible (warning: 7.5 MB) by ignignokt - The Stick Princess by Peach - I finally got my Murder Ballads book back into print! by Paul Slade - Princess Unlimited by yankeefog - "How to Sous Vide," a helpful cookbook by veggieboy - Formula Non (2009 - 2019) An Alternative F1 Photo Project by lawrencium MetaFilter - "The real Pacific Princess had a crew of 373, rather than 6" by jessamyn - a comment by cortex - a fluegelhorn is probably not a fluegelhorn, and vice versa by cortex - Film shows McD's trained new staff in proper use of Vulcan death pinch by not_on_display - Islands in the Stream by dorothy hawk - Divorced, beheaded, live! by Lorc - at the world you've left / and the things you know by fight or flight - Why so many people undercharge for their work by Bella Donna - Those who exist, have existed, or will exist in the vicinity of Omelas by brainwane - "the distance between reader and character or narrator" by brainwane Ask MeFi - a comment by brainwane - Where did the "Rock and Roll Ending" come from? by bondcliff - Why would I use a hot glue gun instead of just glue? by trevor_case - Tennis Pro decoded opponent's body language and serve? by umber vowel - How do you manage your time? by unicorn chaser - Then we'll take it higher - pop songs that are actually protest songs by Frowner - Waltham, MA ca. 1988 - 1990: Manufacturer of Geiger-Mueller Detectors? by ZenMasterThis - Seeking reputable carbon offset programs by Osrinith - Fun classic rock songs (Grateful Dead & more) to walk down the aisle to by Neely O'Hara - logistics! by everybody had matching towels MetaTalk - How MeFi (and other providers) deal with trust & safety issues by brainwane - Obit post: Speedlime by Pallas Athena - Newsletter 3: The Handovering by Eyebrows McGee - MetaFilter Gift Swap 2021 THANK YOU! by mochapickle - Mefi Art & Makers Group, Update by Glinn

We got a rootin' tootin' podcast here. Darn tootin'. Can you both rootin'- and darn'- something that's tootin' in the same paragraph like this? I don't know. I really don't know. I might be going to podcast jail. Before that happens, though, here's me and jessamyn chattering about MetaFilter, the nature of daylight, representation vs. allusion in crappy old Sierra erotic comedy adventures, MetaFilter, the concept of (for some reason) No Nut November, "Meta", and who knows what else because we're both still getting used to the time change. It runs exactly, precisely, to the second 90 minutes.Helpful LinksPodcast FeedSubscribe with iTunesDirect mp3 downloadMisc - Jessamyn is a bee - I got a tattoo and literally everyone guessed right - remember, remember, the No Nut November, the Poe's Law'd Sienfeldian plot - Jess recently enjoyed reading Finna - I recently enjoyed rereading Dune, I don't have a link or anything, I just did is all - also Sierpinski Triangles - okay, on review I totally recognize that yodel breakdown in Focus' Hocus Pocus Jobs - Property project management and maintenance by Barbara Spitzer - Drop off a document at the PA Secretary of State in Harrisburg by Sheydem-tants Projects - The Worst House On The Internet by missjenny (MeFi Post) - Are You a Clickbait Genius? by malevolent - Saturday Afternoon Ikea Trip Simulator by dng (MeFi Post) - Mini-Project: Convert exported Metafilter comments to HTML, JSON, or MBOX by Kadin2048 - Mystic Paths - A new word board game! by meinvt MetaFilter - anyone who enjoys wild birds is a birder! birding is for everyone! by jessamyn - Aspirational rhetorical loquaciousness by simmering octagon - The United States Postal Service: "Non oficialis motto!" by not_on_display - Uh oh by Cookiebastard - Fractal vise by clawsoon - Welp, there goes my evening ... by dancestoblue - Off, dud, over, under, upon, hot, ono, oof, hi, lo, etc. by tss Ask MetaFilter - help me find more podcasts by jessamyn - HBTY HBTY HBD* HBTY by QuakerMel - How fast/reliable is TSA's lost and found? by LSK - What's a good name for an office can crusher? by box - Programming/computer science/IT terms that refer to obsolete tech? by potrzebie - Burying ethernet cable (or wireless??) by wenestvedt - I want to learn art by Brittanie - Donated to take a campaign over its goal.

I accidentally wrote "make a podcast" on a colander instead of the calendar, so on the downside this episode is pretty late but on the upside it has been thoroughly rinsed. Is that anything? Can we do anything with that? Anyway, here's a podcast, it's about 90 minutes, and it involves me and Jessamyn getting off on at least a couple different tangents on the subject *of* getting off on tangents, so it's a very MetaFilter podcast indeed.Helpful LinksPodcast FeedSubscribe with iTunesDirect mp3 downloadMisc - look at this pretty and invasive Emerald Ash Borer - I still think Louis DeJoy sucks honestly - the kids on TikTok have been confounding me lately with what, it turns out, is audio of Adam Driver saying "good soup" - I feel like jessamyn's sister Kate isn't contributing enough - at some point we said something about librarycarpentry.org - also I am supposed to watch The Unbelievable Truth but I do not remember which one now - a flowchart of distractible storytelling Projects - 1,228,178 genetic variants, 2 million years by clawsoon - Datasette Desktop (macOS application) by simonw - Copying a mid-century stool....mid-14th century BCE by brachiopod (MeFi Post) - Wildcard Bicycle Novelties by adamrice - Invisible Sun by cstross - A channel vocoder walkthrough by ignignokt MetaFilter - What I learned about my writing by seeing only the punctuation by eotvos - "Also would've accepted Nine Inch Oates" by carrienation - DO YOU REMEMBER - Can someone explain how this video has 4.1M Views but has 200 likes????? by theodolite - "If we make more angry content, we get more engagement." by They sucked his brains out! - Rewild Your Attention by MonkeyToes - One Woman's Mission to Rewrite Nazi History on Wikipedia by cgc373 Ask MeFi - Can you help find the current location of this old Vienna address? by Miss T.Horn - Can you solve this mystery about a book? by grumblebee - a comment by pocams - Should my child's school's PTA accept cryptocurrency? by Toddles - Nervous system hacks/resets by danceswithlight - What's the oldest thing I can buy, just to have? by tiamat - "Y'know, this stuff is kinda wasted on just ponies..." by Wordshore - Preventing maggots in trash by Anonymous - a comment by Jack Karaoke - Looking for 90s sci-fi story about a librarian & all-knowing computer by kaisemic - Please help me solve a VERY DUMB plumbing emergency. by centrifugal MetaTalk - Metatalktails: Must be the season of the ... which? by taz
