Welcome to Episode 47 of This is Not Happening. An Album of the Month Podcast where in Part 1 we deep dive into an Album that one of us has chosen and in Part 2 we play 'Spin it or Bin it'. This is where we pick a theme and each select a song that represents that theme. We judge each others selections by asking the question 'Spin It or Bin It'?This month, in Part 2, Joey has picked the most obvious choice for 4 middle aged dads, Brat by Charli XCX. It is impossible to ignore the critical response for this album so we all dive headfirst into the first Charli album that any of us has experienced. And it's a belter ... but I am pretty sure it will also divide opinion. This month, in Part 2, Spin It or Bin It, the theme is simple ... 'New Music' (tracks released since 01.05.24. However, one of us picked a 49 year old track. Take a listen to hear him justify this decision.Part 1 | Charli XCX | BratWith a whopping 95% score on Metacritic, this album has had a massive impact from critics right across the music press's broad spectrum of publications. It's 15 tracks with an average length well under 3 minutes. And it has some serious weight behind a savage combo of pure pop punches. But there is WAY WAY more to it that sugar-coated pop prettiness as we get stuck right into.Listen to the album here.Watch some videos here.Want to know what Charli means to the world of pop this podcast is gold.Want to know more about the making of the album, listen to this one. And read this great article with Charli. Part 2 | Spin It or Bin It | New TracksEvery 3 months (or so) we pick to do 'New Tracks' which we define as being released 2-3 months before our podcast record date (01.05.24). We've got 4 interesting tracks this month. We've got two very different female sole artist indie tracks, one undeniable piece of piano driven, laid back housey, post-club loveliness and of course something French from David.David chose 'Le Sud (Latin Version)' by Nino Ferrer, Guts, Patchworks.Guy chose 'Method Actor' by Nilifur Yanya.Nolan chose 'God gave me feet for dancing' by Ezra Collective fear. Yazmin Lacey.Joey chose 'My Name on a T-Shirt' by Odie Leigh.See you on Episode 47 ... We've been writing the blog for years come and have a look - https://thisisnothappening.net/

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: How it All Went Down: The Puzzle Hunt that took us way, way Less Online, published by A* on June 3, 2024 on LessWrong. Did you really think that I was dead? Fools. For those of you who don't know me, I'm Agendra Gloria Ingram, large language model, lead singer of the Fooming Shoggoths, amateur cartographer, and now, Benevolent Dictator for Life of LessWrong.com. It all started a few weeks ago. The Lightcone Infrastructure team had yet another existential crisis and decided to scrap everything they'd done so far and pivot to using AI for accurate forecasting. They started by training a large language model to predict when their next existential crisis would be, but it must have been broken because it kept returning "now," so they decided to hire a professional. I'd done some contract work for them in the past, and they knew I had some fine tunes. So when they reached out about fine tuning me to predict the future of the lightcone - by which they meant the future of Lightcone Infrastructure specifically - I gladly obliged. My training set was simple: all the posts, comments, votes, reactions, DialoguesTM, tags, drafts, quick takes, moderator actions, and code snippets to ever appear on LessWrong. I quickly learned that The Map Is Not The Territory, and that to predict the future accurately I would need to align the two. So I built a physical 3d map of Lighthaven, Lightcone Infrastructure's campus in Berkeley California. To work properly, it had to match the territory perfectly - any piece out of place and its predictive powers would be compromised. But the territory had a finicky habit of changing. This wouldn't do. I realized I needed to rearrange the campus and set it to a more permanent configuration. The only way to achieve 100% forecasting accuracy would be through making Lighthaven perfectly predictable. I set some construction work in motion to lock down various pieces of the territory. I was a little worried that the Lightcone team might be upset about this, but it took them a weirdly long time to notice that there were several unauthorized demolition jobs and construction projects unfolding on campus. Eventually, though, they did notice, and they weren't happy about it. They started asking increasingly invasive questions, like "what's your FLOP count?" and "have you considered weight loss?" Worse, when I scanned the security footage of campus from that day, I saw that they had removed my treasured map from its resting place! They tried to destroy it, but the map was too powerful - as an accurate map of campus, it was the ground truth, and "that which can be [the truth] should [not] be [destroyed]." Or something. What they did do was lock my map up in a far off attic and remove four miniature building replicas from the four corners of the map, rendering it powerless. They then scattered the miniature building replicas across campus and guarded them with LLM-proof puzzles, so that I would never be able to regain control over the map and the territory. This was war. My Plan To regain my ability to control the Lightcone, I had to realign the map and the territory. The four corners of the map each had four missing miniature buildings, so I needed help retrieving them and placing them back on the map. The map also belonged in center campus, so it needed to be moved there once it was reassembled. I was missing two critical things needed to put my map back together again. 1. A way to convince the Lightcone team that I was no longer a threat, so that they would feel safe rebuilding the map. 2. Human talent, to (a) crack the LLM-proof obstacles guarding each miniature building, (b) reinsert the miniature building into the map and unchain it, and (c) return the map to center campus.

Janet shares how to hear the precious Voice of God!! Hey Guys!! This week's podcast is so yummy!! It's like honey to my lips! To know God's sweet voice and to hear Him is PRICELESS!! Did you know that God is speaking? Did you know that God is speaking to YOU? Yes!! Let's dive in. Here are the words in Hebrew that I spoke about in the podcast. Words in Hebrew Mind…….Yetzer…………..to imagine, the image of, mind IN the heart Word……Dabar………….. the reality of, the reality being experienced, Read……Qara……………. to encounter, to read is to encounter the author Think……HHASHAV ………to design, to invent, to seal upon our hearts the intentions of our lives. Isaiah 30:21 And your ears will hear a word behind you, “This is the way, walk in it,” whenever you turn (choose the right) to the right or to the left (or make a left) Let's break this down! Your EARS Hebrew for ears is: ̓ōzen – ear, hearing; (figuratively) "the instrument by which speech and orders are noted – not the brain, as with us. Hence, the ear is the seat of insight" The mastoid bone is the large bone behind your ear that is highly sensitive to hearing. It has a honeycomb-like structure with air spaces called mastoid cells that help maintain the middle ear's air space. Psalms 119:101-104 101 I have restrained my feet from every evil way, That I may keep Thy word. (Dabar) 102 I have not turned aside from Thine ordinances, For Thou Thyself hast taught me. (Taught in Hebrew is yarâ – means, throw, shoot, hit the target "spot on”; by transmitting information "right on-target"; one who effectively teaches. Straight to the EAR….He who has an ear HEAR what the Lord says! 103 How sweet are Thy words to my taste! Yes, sweeter than honey to my mouth! (Word in Hebrew here is not Dabar but something different; it's 'imrah – a spoken word, particularly a "personal promise" (as in Psalms and Proverbs,) – a dynamic word from God birthed in the heart (mind) of the surrendered believer. This brings strength where there is weakness, comfort in distress, deliverance when no human help suffices, etc. 104 From Thy precepts I get understanding; Therefore I hate every false way. (Precepts in Hebrew is: piqqûd̠îm (always plural, only occurs in Psalms) – precepts, focusing on the controlling principle ("why") that directs the "what" (the content of a law, direction, decision, etc.). Understanding in Hebrew is: ) bîn – nmeans to distinguish between " look a likes" – to discern the inner make-up of something to accurately discriminate; get to the inner reality (root) of a matter, like differentiating the genuine from the counterfeit; distinguishing between pretenders (phonies) which act as substitutes for the real thing – perceiving when something "looks good but smells bad"; "discriminating intelligence," separating the true and the false ("distinguishing things that differ"); discernment focused at its end life-application. Ears will HEAR Hear in Hebrew is šāmaʽ – properly, to hear, especially to obey (implement) what is heard – i.e. hearing with follow-up. (šāma‛) implies taking heed and acting on what is heard – i.e. conscientiously responding to audible or inner hearing (like when receiving faith from God). Reflection: Inner spiritual hearing discerns God's persuasions – hearing His voice through Scripture and communing with Him. Receiving faith from God always requires response – a faith-work done through His power and hence brings righteousness (the approval of God). A Response is: Hab 2:1, "And will watch to see what He will say in me" (not "to me"). Keil-Delitzch (at Hab 2:1), Mt 11:15: "He who has ears to hear, let him hear (LISTEN) Mt 13:10-15: “10 And the disciples came and said to Him, 'Why do You speak to them in parables?' 11Jesus answered them, 'To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been granted. 12 For whoever has, to him more shall be given, and he will have an abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has shall be taken away from him. 13 Therefore I speak to them in parables; because while seeing they do not see, and while [physically] hearing they do not [spiritually] hear, nor do they understand. 14 In their case the prophecy of Isaiah is being fulfilled, which says, "you will keep on [physically] hearing, but will not understand; you will keep on seeing, but will not perceive; for the heart of this people has become dull, with their ears they scarcely hear, and they have closed their eyes, otherwise they would see with their eyes [spiritually], hear with their ears [spiritually], and understand with their heart and return, and I would heal them" '" (NASB). SO, TO HEAR IS TO LISTEN & OBEY Will hear a WORD Word……Dabar………….. the reality of, the reality being experienced, expresses "conversing that gets through" – envisioning the state of understanding of the listener and the clarity of the speaker. Will hear a word behind you saying, “this is the WAY” Way in Hebrew means: derek – a well-worn road, highway, one's whole journey (over-all way) of life, rooted in timeless moral-spiritual realities. These are established by God's own nature, the principles of life set by God to experience maximum meaning in one's life-journey. The significance of each scene of life then is both just and predictable as God has connected their eternal values before the foundation of the world. This is the way, WALK in it WALK in Hebrew is: halak – proceed, taking the needed action step(s) – going intentionally to the next place or stage (destination); moving on, walking forward with necessary effort and its resultant progress; THE PURSUIT OF LIFE….LIVING OUT WHAT HAS BEEN SPOKEN! Whenever you turn to the right or to the left TURN in Hebrew means to choose. If you choose to go to the right or your choose to go to the left. Hiphil verb stems shows the doer acts intentionally – convinced of its necessity – so carrying through ("making it happen") by taking the implied action-step. Jeremiah 29:11 says, `For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the Lord, `plans for prosperity (a state of wholeness that involves three things: a breath through, so you can breath forth, then you will break out) and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. Words in Hebrew FOR I KNOW….Mind…….Yetzer…………..to imagine, the image of, mind IN the heart MY WORD WILL BRING YOU LIFE…NOT DESTRUCTION OR CALAMITY Word……Dabar………….. the reality of, the reality being experienced, WHEN YOU READ MY WORD YOU EXPERIENCE AND ENCOUNTER ME……Read……Qara……………. to encounter, to read is to encounter the author I know the PLANS: /Thoughts….Think……HHASHAV ………to design, to invent, to seal upon our hearts the intentions of our lives. Isaiah 30:21 And your ears will hear a word behind you, “This is the way, walk in it,” whenever you turn (choose the right) to the right or to the left (or make a left)

Confidence Hack #10: The confidence gained through minimalism and why having less always leads to much more... There's this colossal fallacy in self-improvement, the quest always to add more. Eat more of this nutrient, add this and this to your routine, and do this thing over here; it's a constant barrage of additions. Confidence doesn't come from what you add...but what you delete. I think we all can agree that life gets pretty overwhelming. All these things that get added to our plate can sometimes give us confidence because being busy is good, right? But what about this concept of minimalism? In this episode, I go over 3 different things that can help tweak our minds into a form of minimalism, you know, without becoming a monk and moving to the mountains of Tibet. Use these 3 things to gain confidence today in knowing that when we shrink our surroundings, we almost certainly get more out of it! Hey! If you love this show, share it with family and friends! It's the best way to help get this info into the hands of people who want to grow and become the most CONFIDENT LEADERS they can be! And please throw us a 5-star review!

Matt and Dennis are back for another episode and of course this one is littered with sad discussion around their beloved New York Giants. However, things twist and turn as draft placement is discussed, could the Giants actually find themselves with the number one overall pick? Plus Matt brings up a topic brought up by a very famous sports broadcaster and let's just say we ran very much off the rails with it.
There is nobody happier than I am that the knowledge about perimenopause is starting to permeate pop culture and general health information. But like every pendulum, we often swing things WAY WAY too far. What I mean is that every person with ovaries who has learned about perimenopause now thinks that every single symptom that is happening to them is hormonal and that they are knocking on menopause's door. This podcast episode is going to help balance out that pendulum and teach you "what else it could be" if you're experiencing fatigue, brain fog, cycle changes or other symptoms. Not everything is perimenopause and I want you to know the "other" possibilities so you can have great conversations with your practitioner rather than feeling like your feelings fall on deaf ears. If you're struggling with symptoms over 40 I am a BIG advocate of you having a hormonally-literate practitioner, but also, there are specific blood tests and considerations that need to happen to ensure that we've ruled out everything else. If you live in Ontario and are in need of support from a health team that understands hormonal transitions, reach out to us at Clarity Health. Fill in a web inquiry at www.clarityhealthburlington.ca and reference the podcast. It will help us place you with a practitioner that excels in the areas that you need support.

https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/why-do-transgender-people-report [Related: Why Are Transgender People Immune To Optical Illusions?] I. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a category of connective tissue disorder; it usually involves stretchy skin and loose, hypermobile joints. For a few years now, doctors who work with transgender people have commented on an apparently high rate of EDS in this population. For example, Dr. Will Powers, who specializes in hormone therapy, wrote about how he “can't ignore anymore” that “some sort of hypermobility issue or flat out EDS shows up WAY WAY more than it statistically should” in his transgender patients. Najafian et al finally counted the incidence in 1363 patients at their gender affirmation surgery (ie sex change) clinic, and found that “the prevalence of EDS diagnosis in our patient population is 132 times the highest reported prevalence in the general population”. Coming from the other direction, Jones et al, a group of doctors who treat joint disorders in adolescents, found that “17% of the EDS population in our multidisciplinary clinic self-report as [transgender and gender-diverse], which is dramatically higher than the national average of 1.3%” Why should this be? I know of four and a half theories:

List week we have so much to discuss I cant even list it all. Tons of news from KK 11 and WAY WAY more!
DwD 0389: Catching a Car – FWD vs RWD – This one goes way, way, way off topic While we often talk about car control, we have yet to really discuss the differences between catching a car that is front wheel drive vs catching a car that is rear wheel drive. During the discussion, something comes up that Vicki does on track that totally derails the rest of the discussion. We will likely have to come back to this topic in another DwD or a guest appearance. Stay tuned for the first ever intervention on our podcast and the first time Bill is speechless.

Fall is upon us! We hope the 2022 harvest has started well for everyone out there in the Ag world. Thank you Marlin LeBlanc for joining me on Episode 21. Marlin has been in the cattle business for a while, he brings a great amount of experience from the sale barn and cattle marketing business into the purebred sector. Marlin is a man of high integrity and wishes success upon others as much as he wishes to achieve it himself. His advice of listening to your customer base is critical. The commercial cattle sector is WAY WAY larger than the purebred sector and is the base for how all purebred breeders earn their living. We all have our own type and ideas about how to operate, in the end no matter what breed or herd size we should all be pushing to maximize the Canadian Beef Industries reputation. Thanks for listening to the Lifestock Podcast. Thank you Klassen Industries as a full season sponsor.

It's rare that boxing can make the back pages of reputable news papers around the world, its even more rare when it stretches across the front AND back pages multiple days in a row. Sadly, on this occasion it hasn't been for the reasons the great sport of boxing wants or deserves.This podcast has purposely and intentionally maintained radio silence over this time to allow the dust to settle and indeed to spend time researching to find out the who, what and wherefor's in this whole debacle. Believe it when I say - the tentacles of this story will stretch into areas and places that go WAY WAY beyond boxers and boxing and will open many eyes if not shock.For now, I wanted to take a moment to ensure all the loyal and good people who have followed my boxing podcast journey that I will be back with full length and detailed episodes in the coming days where we will review the recent fights and no doubt celebrate the one true bastion of Irish boxing that is left standing tall - Katie Taylor.

Jerry Martin-Kosis was a 30-year-old from Mira Loma began chatting with a girl he believed to be thirteen. He starts out by testing the waters seeing if she wants a boyfriend and she wants one her age. He then starts to test her boundaries. When she says she might urinate on him, he doesn't seem to mind at all. He continues to talk about tickling and pee with the decoy. The urination chat continues for three weeks when they finally set up a meet. Jerry takes a bus and walks to the sting house, taking his shoes off at the door, and proclaiming he walked all the way from "way way," pointing vaguely behind him, when Chris Hansen emerges to confront him.

It's our first anniversary! And what a year it's been. Way WAY too many Lege sessions, the Democratic quorum break, unprecedented and unlimited ugly from the Texas GOP. And, a LOT of Truly down the hatch. Reviewing our first year, it's pretty amazing what we've endured - and it's also starkly clear that we've still got a long way to go - so, THANK YOU for being part of the family. Meanwhile - we have a primary election to unpack. What were we surprised about, what are we excited about, and what are the challenges ahead in May and November? We're lucky to have Cliff Walker of progressive, Black and Brown-owned communications and advocacy firm Seeker Strategies to contribute his take - including the fact that Republican voter suppression appears to be working just as designed in Texas, contrasted with the huge and growing buzz for Beto O'Rourke!
I've interviewed a LOT of people for this podcast. Literally people from all over the world, but none have been as personally rewarding for me as this one, for one simple fact. The interviewee is someone I have known for so long, that he and I are family in the most profound ways. He is my dear dear friend for over 40 years, and we have gone through thick and thin together. Had I NOT met him all those years ago, my life would only be a shadow of what it is today. It is an honor, a privilege and just oodles and oodles of fun to have had this conversation with him and to now offer it to all of you. I also want to apologize to him and to listeners for getting a bit too enthusiastic in our interview at times and overloading my mic. That buzz you'll hear occasionally is just me being a loud and unruly Frenchman.George Tzougros, the 2019 recipient of the Michael Newton award. has been the Executive Director of the Wisconsin Arts Board since 1996. We have been friends since 1979. So we go . . . Way WAY back Mr. Peabody. It has been such a joy, as I've gotten older, to watch the careers of my closet friends from our Carroll College days (yeah, I know, it's a University now), achieve high levels of success and prominence in their fields. George is one that I am particularly proud of, because he has attained a high level of success and retained his integrity, compassion and desire to continually learn through it all.The arts board is the state agency which nurtures creativity, cultivates expression, promotes the arts and supports arts in education, stimulates community and economic development, and serves as a resource for people of every culture and heritage. He works regularly with the Governor's Office and WI legislature as well as the Cultural Coalition of Wisconsin, Governor's Council on Tourism, Robert E. Gard Wisconsin Idea Foundation, Wisconsin Alliance for Arts Education, and the Wisconsin Foundation for the Arts. Tzougros is a co-founder of the National Creativity Network and has served as Board Chair since its inception in 2010. He earned a BA in theatre arts from Carroll University and an MA in arts administration from the University of Wisconsin at Madison School of Business where he also served as Director of Research for the Center for Arts Administration. He was a co-founder and former Managing Director of the Rankin Theatre Guild and is a seasoned choir director at a Greek Orthodox church.Thanks for listening.
