After the release of the now-classic Leviathan and the relentless touring that followed, Atlanta prog/sludge quartet Mastodon signed to a major label and unleashed another slab of conceptual madness with their third full-length album.Featuring tracks as varied as the melodic “Colony of Birchmen,” the psychedelic freakout of “Bladecatcher,” and the tectonic shifting “Circle of Cysquatch,” 2006's Blood Mountain proved that the band's already legendary status had been earned.Joining us this week is graphic artist, riff wizard, and Mastodon superfan Liz Walshak (Glacier, SEA) for a deep dive into the making of Blood Mountain and its continued influence on heavy music!Recommendations:Amyl and the Sniffers - Cartoon DarknessAmyl and the Sniffers - Comfort To MeLambrini GirlsDie SpitzOne of Nine - Dawn of the Iron ShadowThe Acacia Strain - You Are Safe From God HereLatitudes - AgonistFollow Liz WalshakInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/liz_shreds/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vanitasillustration/Website: https://www.vanitasillustration.com/aboutFollow GlacierFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/glacierbostonInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/glacierband/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@glacierbandma/featuredFollow SEAFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/heavvysea/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heavysea666/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@heavySEAmusic/featuredFollow Riff WorshipInstagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/riffworshippod/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/RiffWorshipPod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@RiffWorshipPod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out our Official Playlists:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Riffs on Repeat (Spotify)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Riffs on Repeat (YouTube Music)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Hits from the Crypt (Apple)⁠

Joël and Sally analyse their job titles as they try to figure out exactly which borrowed labels best define their work at thoughtbot. Together they break down the components of commonly used titles such as engineer, architect and consultant to see which element reflects their work best, how they would describe their roles at thoughtbot, which industries they'd draw from if they came up with their own titles, and what does Lil Wayne have to do with all this? — For a deeper dive into today's episode consider checking out Hillel Wayne's post “Are we really engineers?” (https://www.hillelwayne.com/post/are-we-really-engineers/) and Henrik Kniberg's article on Minimal Viable Products (https://blog.crisp.se/2016/01/25/henrikkniberg/making-sense-of-mvp).

Contrary to what social media would have us believe, not every hobby has to turn into a madly successful side-hustle that takes the world by storm. Margaret talks with Liz Gumbinner, co-host of the podcast ⁠"Spawned with Kristen and Liz⁠," about why it's okay to just make really delicious cookies. ⁠Liz Gumbinner⁠ is a writer, award-winning ad agency creative director, and mom of teens. Online she's better known as the publisher of ⁠coolmompicks.com⁠ and the author of the OG mom blog Mom-101. Her Substack newsletter, ⁠I'm Walking Here⁠, looks at media, politics, and culture through a witty parenting lens. Liz and Margaret discuss why parenting itself has become another thing to "hustle" around, as well as the difference between ambition and "the hustle." It's great to spend a night with your family or friends without taking/posting any pics at all and just being present, says Liz. It gives you perspective on what's important in life and helps you refocus how you want to spend more of your time.

Today we're digging into the Model Context Protocol, or MCP. Think LSP for AI: build a small Python service once and your tools and data show up across editors and agents like VS Code, Claude Code, and more. My guest, Den Delimarsky from Microsoft, helps build this space and will keep us honest about what's solid versus what's just shiny. We'll keep it practical: transports that actually work, guardrails you can trust, and a tiny server you could ship this week. By the end, you'll have a clear mental model and a path to plug Python into the internet of agents.

rWotD Episode 3111: Minnesota's 3rd congressional district Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Sunday, 9 November 2025, is Minnesota's 3rd congressional district.Minnesota's 3rd congressional district encompasses the suburbs of Hennepin and Anoka counties to the west, south, and north of Minneapolis. The district, which is mostly suburban in character, includes a few farming communities on its far western edge and also inner-ring suburban areas on its eastern edge. The district includes the blue collar cities of Brooklyn Park and Coon Rapids to the north-east, middle-income Bloomington to the south, and higher-income Eden Prairie, Edina, Hopkins, Maple Grove, Plymouth, Minnetonka, and Wayzata to the west. Democrat Kelly Morrison currently represents the district in the U. S. House of Representatives, after being elected in 2024.The 3rd congressional district has the highest median household income out of Minnesota's congressional districts, with a median household income of $100,867, compared to the state average of $74,593. In 2020, 12 percent of residents of the 3rd congressional district were immigrants; the largest countries of origin were India, Mexico, Laos, Liberia, and Vietnam. The largest immigrant populations in the district are concentrated in Brooklyn Park, one of the most ethnically diverse cities in Minnesota, as well as in Eden Prairie and Bloomington.The 2024 election was between Republican Tad Jude and Democrat Kelly Morrison. It was described as "decidedly low-keyed", notable for a lack of attack ads or advertising in general.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:43 UTC on Sunday, 9 November 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Minnesota's 3rd congressional district on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Kendra.

fWotD Episode 3110: Royal Artillery Memorial Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Sunday, 9 November 2025, is Royal Artillery Memorial.The Royal Artillery Memorial is a First World War memorial located on Hyde Park Corner in London, England. Designed by Charles Sargeant Jagger, with architectural work by Lionel Pearson, and unveiled in 1925, the memorial commemorates the 49,076 soldiers from the Royal Artillery killed in the First World War. The static nature of the conflict, particularly on the Western Front, meant that artillery played a major role in the war, though physical reminders of the fighting were often avoided in the years after the war. The Royal Artillery War Commemoration Fund (RAWCF) was formed in 1918 to preside over the regiment's commemorations, aware of some dissatisfaction with memorials to previous wars. The RAWCF approached several eminent architects, but its insistence on a visual representation of artillery meant that none was able to produce a satisfactory design. Thus they approached Jagger, himself an ex-soldier who had been wounded in the war. Jagger produced a design which was accepted in 1922, though he modified it several times before construction.The memorial consists of a cruciform base in Portland stone supporting a one-third over-lifesize sculpture of a howitzer (a type of artillery field gun), which Jagger based on a gun in the Imperial War Museum. At the end of each arm of the cross is a sculpture of a soldier—an officer at the front (south side), a shell carrier on the east side, a driver on the west side, and at the rear (north) a dead soldier. The sides of the base are decorated with relief sculptures showing wartime scenes. The realism of the memorial, with the depiction of the howitzer and the dead soldier, differed significantly from other First World War memorials, notably the influential Cenotaph, which used pure architectural forms and classical symbolism. The design was controversial when unveiled; some critics viewed the dead soldier as too graphic or felt that the howitzer did not lend itself to rendition in stone. Nonetheless, the memorial was popular with others, including ex-servicemen, and later came to be recognised as Jagger's masterpiece and one of Britain's finest war memorials.The memorial was unveiled by Prince Arthur on 18 October 1925. Dedications were later added to the memorial in memory of the 29,924 Royal Artillerymen killed in the Second World War. It underwent restoration in 2011 after years of weathering and water ingress. The memorial is a Grade I listed building and is managed by English Heritage; it now shares its site with multiple other military monuments and war memorials.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:54 UTC on Sunday, 9 November 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Royal Artillery Memorial on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Geraint.

The crew explores the rollout of iOS 26.1, iPadOS 26.1, macOS 26.1, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS 26.1, covering both the new features and the "why is my audio weird?" moments. Dave shares his Vision Pro M5 experience with the new dual knit band that may be the best $100 head strap you didn't need—but bought anyway. Marty highlights VisionOS improvements, including Logitech Muse stylus support and developer fixes. Jill and Eric praise the Vision Pro stability and clarity, while Guy laments Apple's confusing numbering scheme. The conversation shifts to iOS 26.1, with battery life improvements, manual workout logging, and AI-powered updates leading the list. Jeff warns about audio glitches, while Jill celebrates working out manually (on her Watch, that is). The crew debates iPadOS's new multitasking—and how everyone accidentally triggers Slide Over now. There's lively discussion on HomePod performance, tvOS tweaks, and watchOS bugs, including Eric's hilarious tip: turn off Bluetooth so the update doesn't take seven hours. Jill debuts her Apple Watch Ultra 3, promising not to test fall detection by "throwing herself off a mountain"—a running joke that quickly derails into chaos ("Don't go hiking with Jill!"). Later, Jeff reviews the Audioengine HXL DAC, calling it "tiny but mighty" for audiophiles, while Marty praises Apple's new App Store web interface for making app discovery easier across all devices. Finally, the crew cheers Apple's Q4 financial performance, with record-breaking $102.5 billion revenue, strong Mac sales, and unstoppable Services growth. As Dave puts it—"Apple's doomed… to keep making money."

It was first published in the March, 1922 issue of The Vagrant, and first read aloud here, by me, in November of 2025.Please note: this is a horror podcast, and may not be for everyone. In particular, this story is concerned with loneliness, the idle rich, monomania, desiccated corpses, some lightly implied necrophilia, some ribald poetry, drunkenness, and an involuntary commitment.  If this subject matter is likely to disturb you, you may wish to skip this episode.You can read this story yourself at HPLovecraft.com, or enjoy the ambient Haunted Cemetery Ambience soundscape by Sound Illusion.You can text us now.

fWotD Episode 3109: Hensley Henson Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Saturday, 8 November 2025, is Hensley Henson.Herbert Hensley Henson (8 November 1863 – 27 September 1947) was an English Anglican cleric, scholar and polemicist. He was Bishop of Hereford from 1918 to 1920 and Bishop of Durham from 1920 to 1939.Henson's father was a devout follower of the Christian sect the Plymouth Brethren and disapproved of schools. Henson was not allowed to go to school until he was fourteen, and was largely self-educated. He was admitted to the University of Oxford, and gained a first-class degree in 1884. In the same year he was elected as a fellow of All Souls College, Oxford, and began to make a reputation as a speaker. He was ordained priest in 1888.Feeling a vocation to minister to the urban poor, Henson served in the East End of London and Barking before becoming chaplain of a 12th-century hospice in Ilford in 1895. In 1900 he was appointed to the prominent post of rector of St Margaret's, Westminster, and canon of Westminster Abbey. While there, and subsequently as Dean of Durham (1913–1918), he wrote prolifically and sometimes controversially. He was tolerant of a wide range of theological views; because of this some members of the Anglo-Catholic wing of the Church of England accused him of heresy and sought unsuccessfully to block his appointment as Bishop of Hereford in 1917.In 1920 after two years in the largely rural diocese of Hereford, Henson returned to Durham in the industrial north-east of England as its bishop. The area was badly affected by an economic depression. Henson was opposed to strikes, trade unions and socialism, and for a time his outspoken denunciation of them made him unpopular in the diocese. Some of his opinions changed radically during his career: at first a strong advocate of the Church of England's continued establishment as the country's official church, he came to believe that politicians could not be trusted to legislate properly on ecclesiastical matters, and he espoused the cause of disestablishment. He campaigned against prohibition, the exploitation of foreign workers by British companies, and fascist and Nazi aggression. He supported reform of the divorce laws, the controversial 1928 revision of the Book of Common Prayer, and ecumenism.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:35 UTC on Saturday, 8 November 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Hensley Henson on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Ayanda.

Cory is our guest host for the Blizzard Watch Podcast this week and, spoilers, that means there's Heroes of the Storm news again. The PTR opened up for people to test Player Housing again this week, but it was already down again by the time they recorded the podcast. Liz was thrilled with this chance to collect more data though, because her house in the alpha is currently haunted. In other WoW news, the trading post means a ton of new goodies -- perhaps literally, if carrots fit your definition of goodies. Also, getting some of the Artifact appearances in Legion is busted.Beyond WoW, there was a new Hearthstone expansion this week to discuss, plus a new cinematic for Overwatch, which got us feeling a little nostalgic and sentimental. And yes, Heroes of the Storm. We couldn't have Cory on without a little dose of hopium.Plus, we have a contest running on Bluesky and Mastodon where you can enter to win a free key for an Epic edition of Midnight. All you have to do is tell us which housing plot where you'd recommend our realtor take her well-earned vacation (and also, please follow us because that will let us DM you if you win).

A lively MacVoices Live! panel debates GM's CarPlay removal—using a shaky Steve Jobs analogy—arguing the real motive is subscriptions and data. Chuck Joiner, Marty Jencius, Web Bixby, Jim Rea, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Eric Bolden, and David Ginsburg contrast Toyota's deeper CarPlay/Maps EV integration and note renter demand, plus which brands still lack it. Also covered: Google Pixel 911 call problems, an Atlas browser clipboard flaw, and Neato ending cloud support early for robot vacuums amid Roomba's struggles.  MacVoices is supported by SurfShark.

A lively MacVoices Live! panel debates GM's CarPlay removal—using a shaky Steve Jobs analogy—arguing the real motive is subscriptions and data. Chuck Joiner, Marty Jencius, Web Bixby, Jim Rea, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Eric Bolden, and David Ginsburg contrast Toyota's deeper CarPlay/Maps EV integration and note renter demand, plus which brands still lack it. Also covered: Google Pixel 911 call problems, an Atlas browser clipboard flaw, and Neato ending cloud support early for robot vacuums amid Roomba's struggles.  MacVoices is supported by SurfShark.

La parole circule de plus en plus librement sur les questions de santé mentale, et c'est une bonne chose. Loin de la vision stéréotypée qui prévalait jusqu'ici, cette libéralisation de la parole offre une perspective plus nuancée et réaliste. Mais elle offre aussi un boulevard aux expert•es autoproclamé•es et à une cacophonie de conseils qui perturbe la transmission d'informations fiables sur le sujet. Comme toujours, ces offres non validées scientifiquement passent à côté de la complexité du vécu de chacun•e et de la prise en compte des déterminants sociaux, économiques et environnementaux qui influencent pourtant lourdement notre santé mentale.En septembre 2025, j'ai été invitée à participer à la journée “Foule santé mentale : de l'intime au collectif“ organisée par Psycom au ministère de la Santé. L'occasion de faire un état des lieux du “marché“ de la santé mentale et de ses potentielles dérives. L'occasion aussi de présenter des solutions collectives, à contre-courant de l'injonction actuelle à “prendre soin de soi“ pour s'adapter à des conditions de vie difficiles.Comment prendre soin de sa santé mentale ? Nous abordons cette question autour d'une table-ronde avec les intervenant•es suivants :Aude CARIA : Directrice de Psycom - Santé mentale Info ;Sophie ARFEUILLÈRE : Chargée d'innovation pédagogique de Psycom ;Élisabeth FEYTIT : Documentariste et créatrice du podcast Méta de Choc ;Samir KHALFAOUI : Conseiller santé de la Miviludes ;Maeva MUSSO : Psychiatre et pédopsychiatre, Présidente de l'Association des jeunes psychiatres et jeunes addictologues (AJPJA) ;Marie-Christine STANIEC-WAVRANT : Adjointe santé et lutte contre les exclusions Mairie de Lille, Vice-Présidente du Réseau français Villes-Santé.Notre conversation intégrale sera diffusée vendredi prochain à 18h !•• SOUTENIR ••Méta de Choc est gratuit, indépendant et sans publicité.

Hi, this is Lawrence Peryer with a quick update about some exciting changes coming to our show. Spotlight On is now The Tonearm—same name as our online magazine at thetonearm.com. Same conversations with the people and ideas moving culture forward, just a new name and a fresh look. The timing works out: this week marks one year since we launched The Tonearm online.We're also shifting from Thursday to Sunday episode releases. Why Sundays? Thursdays have gotten crowded—it seems like everyone drops new episodes that day. Sundays give us room to breathe, and we like letting our conversations really develop. Sunday feels right for that, when you can actually sit with our guests and let these talks unspool at their own pace.Our first episode as The Tonearm drops this Sunday. After nearly 300 episodes, we're not changing what we do—we're just refining as we go. We've got another surprise in store too. That one you'll hear on Sunday.There's nothing you need to do. New episodes will continue showing up however you're listening now. See you Sunday at The Tonearm, or wherever you like to listen. And as always, thanks for listening. Be safe and stay in touch.–• Subscribe! Be the first to check out each new episode of The Tonearm in your podcast app of choice.• Looking for more?
