Miranda July, two interviews from the archives. The first one is from 2015 regarding her novel The First Bad Man. The second one is from 2005 regarding her film Me and You and Everyone We Know. I thought the 2005 interview was lost, I can’t believe I found it. And the photos in the graphic are ones I took of her after recording that interview, they’re very low-res as I don’t have the originals from my camera, remember, it was 2005 kids. I’m so excited to present this to you this week. I have one more interview that we did on video, I think I may need to get it transferred from MiniDV, yeah, that long ago.

Episode 403 - A New Demographic? (Pt. 1) - Mockingbird

9 weeks ago

—

While one was within the second third of one's life, one had all these goals in view, of happy marriage, happy fathering, and (most of all, sadly) successful careering. But at this point it's beginning to look a little bankrupt. Maybe "superficial" is a better word. So "What Now, My Love?" Is the last third of life disillusionment and moping; or compulsed repetition; or possibly/impossibly "Behold, I do a New Thing" (Isaiah 43:19)? PZ is joined by a special guest to discuss these questions and more. https://mbird.com/podcasts/episode-403-a-new-demographic-pt-1/…

Lethal Dependency Injection (with Tim Riley) - Dead Code | Acast

Listen to Lethal Dependency Injection (with Tim Riley) from Dead Code. In this episode of Dead Code, Jared interviews Tim Riley about Hanami, an alternative Ruby web framework that prioritizes separation of concerns, modular components, and maintainability over Rails’ monolithic approach. Tim explains how Hanami’s repository pattern for database interactions reduces unintended ripple effects, while its built-in dependency injection improves testability and scalability. He shares the evolution of Hanami, its integration with dry-rb and ROM, and the project’s commitment to fostering an inclusive, sustainable community. With ongoing efforts to enhance accessibility and documentation, Hanami aims to offer Ruby developers a flexible, well-structured alternative for building applications while staying within the familiar Ruby ecosystem.Links:Hanami WebsiteTim Riley’s WebsiteTim Riley on MastodonHanami GitHub Repositorydry-rb GitHub RepositoryROM-rb GitHub RepositoryTilt (Ruby template engine support)Dead Code Podcast Links:MastodonXJared’s Links:MastodonXtwitch.tv/jardonamronEpisode Transcript https://shows.acast.com/dead-code/episodes/lethal-dependency-injection-with-tim-riley…

Getting High – Kester Brewin

37 weeks ago

—

‘Absorbing, insightful and compelling’ – Erik Davis (TECHGNOSIS / NOMAD CODES) ‘Fascinating… revelatory’ – Andrew Smith (MOONDUST / TOTALLY WIRED) ‘A beautiful meditation on flight, memory and meaning in a world still struggling to come to terms with the loss of the Most High’ – Simon Critchley (FAITH OF THE FAITHLESS / MEMORY THEATRE / BOWIE) ‘Grounds the vertiginous story of how we accomplished the super-human heights that killed God within a moving personal narrative. Honest, accessible and compelling’ – Dr Katharine Moody (RADICAL THEOLOGY AND EMERGING CHRISTIANITY) ‘The ability to craft such a beautifully coherent story out of so many disparate worlds is a truly rare gift. Getting High is Brewin at his best’– Tad Delay (GOD IS UNCONSCIOUS) ‘Mr. Toad’s wild ride is nothing compared to this journey through psychedelia, space and consciousness. Every turn taken offers up new thoughts about how to live beyond the ache for transcendence…where real life begins‘ – Barry Taylor, Brehm Centre for the Arts, LA GETTING HIGH was published in 2016 to great acclaim. You can purchase it from your local bookstore, or online in the US here, or the UK here. ‘The best book I’ve read this year,’ one reader wrote. ‘Drop everything and read this now,’ said another. ‘The most courageous theological memoir since Merton’s Seven Storey Mountain.’ Watch my presentation at TEDx Exeter on the themes of the book: — It’s a book that was a long time in gestation. I finished a full draft, had written and presented a 30 minute meditation on flight for BBC Radio 4: In the course of that a literary agent had got in touch to say how much she’d enjoyed that broadcast. When I told her it was based on a book that I was writing she jumped at the chance to read it, and really loved it. But… quite astutely, her comment was that there was a story under the surface that was not being told. She said I could go ahead and publish the book as it was, but her advice was to dig further. She was right, damn it. — In fact, just a few days later I received through the post some diaries that had been written by my sister when she was just 10 years old. Reading them didn’t just uncover this narrative I’d half-buried, it blew it wide open. As I explain in the book, I’d never quite understood why it was that I’d been drawn to write about flight. Now I knew. I had no choice: I had to go back to the beginning, back to the trauma that had push me – and the rest of my family – to take flight ever since. Borrowing from Hunter S Thompson’s subtitle for Fear and Loathing, GETTING HIGH is ‘a savage journey to the heart of the dream of flight.’ It’s a journey with 3 main layers. On the surface, this is a history of the extraordinary period in the latter part of the 1960s when we took off in the most remarkable ways. All at the same time there were major advances in technologies of space-flight and chemical-induced highs. But not only did the LSD counterculture and the Apollo missions to the Moon coincide, there were also massive changes in religious and social experiences too. Drawing on a Day-Glo cast of Hells Angels, hippies, Swiss chemists, astronauts, dreamers and preachers, all set to a soundtrack of a suddenly-turned-on Beatles, GETTING HIGH sets out to explain why it was that so many in the West were so desperate to lift away. — Underneath all this short history of a particular decade, there is also a much longer view, right back to our most ancient past. What did it mean for us – clearly the most intelligent creatures on this planet – to not be able to fly? We could do so much, and this one thing that we couldn’t do we imbued with great meaning. We looked to the above. We told ourselves a story that we had fallen. We ached to return to be reunited with the Most High. GETTING HIGH looks back to Plato, to Simon Magus and Ibn Tufail, to the Renaissance and the great theological battle over altitude – building to the extraordinary moment when Etienne Montgolfier rose up above pre-revolutionary Paris. Now that someone had risen to the above, not only were we desperate to know what they had seen, but we were desperate to penetrate further and further, up towards the ancient lights that we had for so many thousands of years lain back and dreamed of. — The desire to get high is a deep one. We are all born flightless, the book begins, every one. Despite great longing, despite the fact that the majority—me included—would choose flight as our superpower, after so many thousands of years each of us still drops into the world smooth-skinned and featherless. From that moment on the ground suckles us to itself. Gravity calcifies in our bones and we do not like it, so our fathers make us laugh by swinging us into the air. When we grow heavy they let us down and we turn instead to gods to lift us, only later understanding that if we are going to be able to fly we will have to forge our wings for ourselves. And so, at its foundation, GETTING HIGH is really a memoir. It is a deeply personal reflection on a family trauma that sent me flying. As such, it’s a book that I’ve had to spend time talking through with those close to me, and my sister in particular. I’m massively grateful to her for letting me write it, and for the support that she and my brother have shown as I’ve sought to go back and examine the different ways that each of us took flight, and the reasons stretching even further back that forced us to do so. I’ve written and read a great deal about the ‘radical theology’ movement, but what I’ve more recently felt was missing was any sense of genuine personal narrative within that. How did people end up here? GETTING HIGH is my own answer to that question. This is a book about ecstasy and flight to the above but, of course, what it is really about is the opposite. I hope that in the ways that it is candid about the deep seam of depression that has run through charismatic Christianity and late-Capitalist societies it will open up even further the necessary conversations that we need to have about the mental struggles so many of us face. — Finally, underpinning all of this, this is a book about technology, about the tools we forge to lift ourselves. Religion. AI. Memory. Drugs. Rockets… and yes, books too. This is an ambitious project, one I have spent a long time crafting. Those who’ve read it have kindly said that it’s the best thing I’ve written. https://www.kesterbrewin.com/gettinghigh/…
