Pod Crashing episode 371 with Olivia Carville and Margi Murphy from the podcast Levitown.  Bloomberg News, Kaleidoscope, and iHeartPodcasts announced the launch of Levittown, a new six-part podcast series investigating the rise of deepfake pornography online, debuting on March 21. Levittown, hosted by Bloomberg News reporters Olivia Carville and Margi Murphy, takes listeners to a New York suburb as dozens of young women discover that innocent pictures they shared with high-school classmates on social media have been manipulated into pornography and posted online. After being told by police and others there's nothing much that can be done, they set out to catch whoever did this and unwittingly join forces with a global band of investigators and hackers to combat the AI-fueled rise of deepfakes.Building on reporting for their Bloomberg Businessweek cover story, Carville and Murphy range from the suburbs of New York to New Zealand, hearing from victims of deepfake porn, investigators who are seeking a legal foothold to stop it, and the online vigilantes who have stepped in to try to shut down the websites. The first episode will debut March 21 with subsequent episodes available on March 22, 23, 28, 29, and 30. The podcast will also be featured on Bloomberg's flagship Big Take Podcast, which takes listeners through the best business, finance and economic stories from across the Bloomberg newsroom.

Have you ever been deepfaked? Or maybe this is just a new fear – that photos of you end up online that are you – but not really you? What would you do? For an increasing number of people – especially women – this is becoming a reality. So much so that a recent bill in Congress called the “Take It Down” Act has found some incredibly rare bipartisan support. The bill is sponsored by republican Senator Ted Cruz and democrat Senator Amy Klobuchar – making it illegal to post explicit deepfakes – First Lady Melania Trump has also been a vocal supporter. But the thing is, it isn't law yet and… it might not be enough. A new podcast called Levittown, from Bloomberg and Kaleidoscope Podcasts, takes listeners on a sort of cyber thriller for the AI age. It's the story of a bunch of young women in the suburbs of Long Island who find naked fakes of themselves online and when told there's nothing they can do about it – set out to catch the perpetrator. This ends up connecting them to a web of online vigilantes – and cyber criminals taking advantage of a justice system not ready for the reality of AI. Endless Thread brings you the first episode in this series. If you like what you hear – find Levittown wherever you like to get your podcasts to listen to the full series.

Are the Suburbs a Soul-Crushing Abomination?

In my previous article on the uniquely American suburbs, I delved into their controversial history. Here, I'll focus on the political and social critiques of America's particularly car-centric and sprawled form of suburban development. A third and final piece will look at the financial picture, as well as the suburbs' viability, both for the country and investors. Conspiracy theories that the suburbs were created to drive demand for automobiles are, for the most part, backward. It was, in actual fact, the mass adoption of the automobile that drove the creation of the suburbs. Of course, big business (Levittown) and government policy (the creation of the interstate highway system and urban renewal) also played a part in the expansion of America's car-centric suburbs.  But even if the causes of America's suburban sprawl were completely benign, that doesn't mean that the suburbs as currently constituted are good nor sustainable nor a place for quality, long-term investments. It is to these questions we now turn.

La atmósfera del relato escrito en el año 1967 y narrado en primera persona es bastante intensa desde un primer momento. El oyente puede experimentar un intenso malestar ante la insistencia de la protagonista de hablar con el Sr. Morrison, como si algo realmente no anduviese bien. Reestrenamos Sexo y/o el Sr. Morrison con sonido mejorado. Sin duda tiene unas extrañas afectaciones por el Sr. Morrison que se acentúan cuando decide allanar la morada de este. Para más inri cuando el Sr. Morrison vuelve a su apartamento ella se esconde allí para verlo hacer...sus cosas de solterón. Y todo esto contado con un tono bastante neutro, como si fuera lo más normal del mundo oler camisas usadas y comer queso bajo un escritorio. En varias ocasiones hace pensar en que tenemos un narrador no fiable, pero luego sucede que la autora Carol Emshwiller le da la vuelta al relato y todo lo que teníamos preconcebido se viene abajo, desencadenando un sentimiento de repulsa y horror aún mayor que ver a una criatura obsesionándose de tal forma con el vecino de arriba. Hay una mezcla de ciencia ficción, terror y fantasía... La narradora experimenta hacia el esquivo Morrison una fascinación creciente, y esta fascinación muy pronto deja el terreno de lo previsible: Deténganse a pensar sólo una cosa. Hay solamente dos sexos y cada uno de nosotros pertenece a uno de ellos, y sin duda —o al menos es lo más probable— cada uno sabe algo acerca del otro. Pero pudo ser ahí en donde yo cometí mi error: ¿nunca han pensado ustedes...? Bueno, eso que yo comencé a pensar: ‘Ha de haber Otros entre nosotros’”. La narradora se dedica, pues, a encontrar el rastro de los Otros, es decir de aquellos que viven escondidos o camuflados, precisamente porque no son ni hombres ni mujeres y tampoco lo que eufemísticamente se llama “tercer sexo”, porque esto, en última instancia, sólo se entiende como una combinatoria de los otros dos sexos/géneros (ya el mero hecho de llamarlo “tercero” es confirmar la regla de los “dos” y mantenerla precisamente como paradigma, ley binaria, mandato divino, dogma, estereotipo, etcétera). La narradora de este cuento sospecha, pues, que el señor Morrison no es uno de los “Normales” sino precisamente uno de esos silenciosos y obliterados “Otros”, un ser radicalmente distinto, humano pero otro, y cuya sola presencia (e incluso la mera hipótesis, la sospecha imaginativa) arroja una luz violenta sobre la exclusividad de los “dos” (la “exacta modularidad” queda cuestionada por un elemento supernumerario en la ecuación). Dispuesta a jugarse el todo por el todo, la narradora se oculta en el apartamento de Morrison (ella es pequeña y delgada) y lo espera durante lo que parece una eternidad. Finalmente el individuo llega y pasado un rato se desnuda de espaldas a su trémula contempladora.... Juzguen ustedes mismos.... Carol Emshwiller ( 12 de abril de 1921) nació Agnes Carolyn Fries en Ann Arbor, Michigan, la mayor de los cuatro hijos de Charles y Agnes (Carswell) Fries. Al crecer, pasó varios años en Francia y Alemania mientras su padre, profesor de inglés y lingüística, estaba de año sabático. Se graduó de la Universidad de Michigan con una licenciatura en música en 1945, se unió a la Cruz Roja, ayudando a las tropas estadounidenses en la Italia de la posguerra, luego regresó a Ann Arbor para la escuela de arte. Se casó con su compañero estudiante de arte Ed Emshwiller en 1949. Juntos, asistieron a la Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Arts (1949-1950), recorrieron Europa en una motocicleta y finalmente se establecieron en Levittown, Nueva York, donde tuvieron tres hijos, en 1955, 1957 y 1959. Emshwiller comenzó a publicar ciencia ficción a mediados de la década de 1950, después de que su esposo le presentara a personas clave dentro del género, quien se convirtió en uno de los principales artistas del género de la época. En 1974, Emshwiller se convirtió en profesora asistente adjunta en la Universidad de Nueva York y publicó su primera colección de cuentos, Joy in Our Cause . Ella ha seguido publicando casi sin parar desde entonces. Sus novelas incluyen Carmen Dog (1998), The Mount (2002), Mister Boots (2005) y The Secret City.(2007). La también autora de ciencia ficción Ursula K. Le Guin la elogió como una "fabulista importante, una maravillosa realista mágica, una de las voces feministas más fuertes, complejas y consistentes en la ficción"; hasta la fecha, Emshwiller ha ganado un premio World Fantasy, un premio Philip K. Dick, dos premios Nebula y un premio World Fantasy por su trayectoria (en 2005). Desde la muerte de su esposo en 1990, ha dividido su tiempo entre la ciudad de Nueva York y Owens Valley, California.

For eighteen years (1983-2001) a fixture of radio & television's Howard Stern Show, comedian Jackie “The Joke Man” Martling was born and raised in East Norwich, a tiny hamlet on the glorious North Shore of Long Island, New York. He graduated in 1966 from Oyster Bay High School and earned a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Michigan State University in 1971. In March, 1979, he created a dirty joke line, “Use Your Finger! Dial (516) 922-WINE!,” which has been in uninterrupted operation since 1979 [516-922-9463].​The jokes worked. Jackie released three self-produced comedy lp's, 1979's “What Did You Expect?,” 1980's “Goin' Ape!,” and 1981's “Normal People Are People You Don't Know That Well” on his own label, OHR Records.​In 1982, after founding “Governor's Comedy Shop” in Levittown on Long Island and touring as a national headliner, on a suggestion from a Washington DC comedy club owner, he blindly sent his three LP's to Howard Stern upon Howard's arrival at WNBC-AM in New York City. Howard called him to make a guest appearance on his radio show. In 1986, Jackie became a full-time cast member and the head writer of Stern's show, and as they say, the rest is history. Remarkable radio as well as show business history.​Jackie left the Stern show in 2001 after fifteen-year run as head writer of the radio show, four television series, and three Pay-Per-Views. He's released six dirty joke CD's … “The Joke Man,” “Sgt. Pecker,” “Hot Dogs & Donuts,” Come Again?!,” F. jackie,” and “snart,” as well as three videos, five joke books and countless joke gadgets of all kinds, for children as well as adults.​In 2006 he released a CD of his original music entitled “Happy Endings,” that he co-produced with guitar legend Frank Vignola.From 2007-2014, Jackie wrote and performed his own radio show on SiriusXM Satellite Radio, “Jackie's Joke Hunt,” and he wrote the joke page for Penthouse magazine for 17 years.Jackie is featured in the red-hot comedy documentary, “The Aristocrats,” over a dozen other independent films and has appeared on many television shows.​He still works all around the country performing his solo act of rapid-fire filthy jokes and the classic finale, “Stump The Joke Man.” and guests on many of the top national radio shows and podcasts.For shows click on the link!https://www.jokeland.com

This year marks the 50th anniversary of Fallingwater's listing the in the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. The State Museum of Pennsylvania has an exhibit honoring the place that held so much significance. According to Dr. Curt Miner, the Chief of Interpretation and Senior History Curator for the State Museum of Pennsylvania, the exhibit will be on display until January 5, 2025. "One of the things that we did in the course of researching this project is come across what I think is an absolutely fascinating fact. I believe it would be, which is that falling water in surveys is often ranked as the most recognized private residence in the world. Let that sit in for a little bit in the world. This building, this house that was built by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1938 for Edgar J. Kaufmann, who was, by the way, a department store magnate from Pittsburgh, has been heralded as the most recognized and most famous private residence in the world. And where is it? It's in Pennsylvania. It's in the small town of Mill Run, which is in in Fayette County in southwestern Pennsylvania." Dr. Miner also highlighted "A Place for All Exhibit. This exhibition tells the history of three integration efforts in Pennsylvania after World War II. These stories testify to the courage of those who sought to end racial segregation in all of its forms. "The subtitle of that exhibit is "Three Stories of Integration in Pennsylvania." The  genesis of that exhibit actually goes back two decades. We had a curator on staff. His name was Eric Ledell Smith. He was a specialist in African-American history. And he came up with an idea for us and it presented to the curatorial staff and to the museum eventually. And he said, I think we need to tell the story of the civil rights movement in Pennsylvania. And his premise was that the  Civil Rights Movement is often thought to be the story that takes place in the American South. When you think of civil rights and the movement led by Martin Luther King and others, you think of places like Little Rock, Arkansas, Birmingham, Alabama, Greensboro, North Carolina. You don't think about places like Levittown, Pennsylvania, and Bucks County or Girard College in North Philadelphia, or the Highland Park swimming pool in Pittsburgh. And yet, Eric argued correctly, Those were all places where the struggle for racial equality in the north took place. It was simply the idea that racial discrimination, and segregation did not stop at the Mason-Dixon Line. It went North even in places like Pennsylvania."Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A 32-year-old Pennsylvania man accused of beheading his father and posting a video of the crime on YouTube may face the death penalty if prosecutors choose to pursue it. The Bucks County District Attorney's Office announced after an arraignment that they are reserving the right to seek capital punishment against Justin Mohn, who is charged with the murder of his 68-year-old father, Michael F. Mohn. The incident occurred on January 30 at the victim's home on Upper Orchard Drive in Levittown. Middletown Township police officers responding to the scene found Michael Mohn decapitated in a downstairs bathroom, with a machete in the bathtub. His head was discovered in a cooking pot in a bedroom. Authorities allege that Justin fled the scene in his father's 2009 Toyota Corolla. Prosecutors claim that Justin used the machete to kill his father before posting a 14-minute video on YouTube showing the aftermath and identifying the victim by name. In the video, he allegedly called his father a "traitor" and urged like-minded individuals to kill federal employees. Michael Mohn was a 20-year civil engineer with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. "Police later received information about a 14-minute video posted to YouTube, which showed the defendant picking up the decapitated head of his father, identifying him by name and as his father," prosecutors stated. "In the video, he ordered all militia and patriots across the United States to kill all federal employees." Authorities also allege that Justin listed specific federal officials to be captured and publicly executed, providing the name and address of a U.S. District Court Judge as one of his targets. Hours after the murder, he was arrested at the National Guard Training Center in Fort Indiantown Gap, Lebanon County. Investigators believe he went there in an attempt to mobilize the National Guard against the federal government. In a September court appearance, Justin claimed he was justified in using "deadly force" because his father resisted a citizen's arrest. Speaking to local media, he said, "I and a lot of other people around America believe that the federal government has betrayed America. He was a federal employee and betrayed me. I was trying to perform a citizen's arrest. He resisted that citizen's arrest. It's lawful to use deadly force in that event." Justin Mohn is charged with first-degree murder, terrorism, robbery, trespassing, abuse of a corpse, theft, criminal use of a communication facility, and possession of an instrument of a crime. Michael Mohn was honored in 2019 with the "Outstanding Achievement Award," the highest annual honor for employees in his field. Colleagues mourned the "untimely and tragic loss" of a "gifted innovator, a consummate professional, an invaluable mentor, and a dear friend." Prosecutors cited the "aggravating circumstance" that the slaying occurred during the commission of a felony, which could make Justin eligible for the death penalty if convicted. The case is ongoing as both the prosecution and defense prepare for trial. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
