This guy reminds me so much of the old chestnut "they ate Nat Turner, they hanged John Brown, Robert E Lee never even went to prison."

Apple annoyed me, back when they were still primarily a computer company, with their upgrade path of 'give us more money', instead of being to effect your own upgrades with a screwdriver and some instructions. Thus began my belief that Apple was for graphic designers and people who couldn't be trusted with actual computers. With some disrespect, and the memory of Liam's anguish upon being informed of November's HDD Situation, I conclude that she is the second kind of Apple consumer.

Love the podcaster, hate the podcaster's opinions on phone.

Check out the documentary song Dallas Beltway by Chat Pile for more information

mr brightside is now the 4th quarter song for the buffalo bills and if it became the pete buttigieg song instead of high hopes i would be suffering a lot more as a bills fan

Nova talking about using Android is how I feel every time I use a PC

I love my android phones actually they've all Got The Job Done. Though also you can make an android phone feels faster with like 5 minutes of fiddling with settings. be better nova

If your primary experience with Android is that folding screen ullshit, then you get a pass on this one. Truly the most abominable machine I've ever held in my hands

Alice I don't know whether you read these messages but if the new phone you've taken out is with EE, that tablet is not free. It's a common tactic that the stores use to get you to take out an additional line. Check your bills and see if the store has a return policy and return it

I have literally used the Fisher-Price comparison before to describe the look and feel of iOS lol

Eh galaxy is fine. Everything is poisoned with ai now though.

Re: the Just Another Girl video being the eggiest music video ever, there's a specific moment at 3:15 where a monitor shows that from everyone character's POV Brandon Flowers is standing there while we the audience see a woman. See also: the lyrics to Spaceman.

And NO cutting of “bullshit”!! I love listening to y’all .. uh… chattering!!!

Oh, November! I am so with you on the iPhone v android issue!!

i always knew dallas was evil when i was there, its good to know why. racist sewers 🙂‍↕️

I can't believe this guy founded the Christmas Adventurers Club

as a Samsung user with a dvorak keyboard I'm not used to being looked at from this angle

One idea that has been rattling about in my brain for a while is "How would things be different if the US hegemon wasn't so dickless when it accidentally found itself on the correct side of a morally justifiable war?" I dunno maybe if we had had a Benjamin Butler presidency then that leads to a moral stance where Nobosuke Kishi's life would have ended at the end of a rope in 1946 and I wouldn't have to deal with *Korean* government officials using the euphuism "Comfort Women" in 20 fucking 26

Btw Nova, Alumnus is the singular

Hey I made an artsy short film about Poison Spring!

Quick, before you miss it! https://onlyny.com/collections/dsny

me, a software engineer on the cheapest Sony Xperia I could find: actually having to press ok after entering your pin is better computer security 🤓

oh wow, opening up with Android slander. bold choice

I denounce the racist universe spider and call on them to resign.

I hope to god I can still buy a VOD bc guess which super fan not in LDN has adhd oops

*Laughs while listening from my fisher price toy for evil children*

the Mayortaculus chose this program to pursue Radio War Nerd's Revisionist History of the US Civil War series

I feel like everyone in the comments got waylaid by the Android V. Apple war and missed that this guy was mayor of an entire city of guys who would randomly fire their guns into the air like the Rich Texan from the Simpsons

Gee! How come your mom lets you have two ologies?

I'm always cheering to hear my horrid horrid city being talked about in any way that isn't sports. I co-sign everything you said about my state. Dallas and the whole state is a truly soulless place that slowly rips your own soul away as well and the only reason I stay here as a trans women is pure spite. great ep if you ever want any of our treasure stolen and sent to you let me know

I'm no Civil War expert but wasn't one of the major issues that the title of Best Logistician for the Confederates as hotly contested as the Least Antisemitic for the White Russians?

tbh i don't think it's accurate to say the venn diagram of neoconfederates and anti-new dealers is a circle. there was your Gene Talmadges who saw the ND as a COMMUNIST PLOT!!!! but there were many southern democrats who were allied to FDR and remained staunchly segregationist

hearing yall do a reconstruction ep makes me wonder what mayor is on jamelle bouie's short list. you should invite him on.

speaking as a scot: there is no progressive nationalism! It's all either openly reactionary or covertly reactionary

ERRATUM TO THE ADDENDUM: the video to Miss Atomic Bomb is a sequel to Mr. Brightside and is about deciding your girl probably wasn't cheating on you after all. The video in which Brendan Flowers is replaced by a beautiful woman in a way that gives you strange feelings about your gender is Just Another Girl.

in between Killers and P!atD, was Buttigieg unbeknownstly trying to challenge the Goodmans? Was an Imagine Dragons song a third option?

I'm currently messing with a used fairphone booting linux. Once I daily drive that I'm reaching new levels of computer nerd and you can't stop me

We didn't need to take down any of the civil war monuments in my state. Mostly because in Maine all of ours were of the winners.

You should check out "The Ballad of the 20th Maine."

The United States is a bottomless chasam of evil, and the world can only improve once it no longer exists.

November, hit me up if you need to bring the 'Civil War Generals are Wack' podcast. I'm all in.

The Battle Hymn of the Republic 100% should be the national anthem. "AS HE DIED TO MAKE MEN HOLY, LET US DIE TO MAKE MEN FREE, WHILE GOD IS MARCHING ON!"

They should have done something harsh to all white southerners. Something that will get me banned for advocating.

I can't not point out that this episode shows as S87 E1 instead of S1 E87.

Mattie you sweet city girl Troy NY is as far from the northern border as it is from NYC (also if you like Hudson you'll probably like Troy)

Mr. Brightside literally started playing on the store radio as I got to that segment of the Items.

I love my Android phones. You couldn't pay me to use an iPhone or apple. I prefer having control over my phone and being able to side load programs onto it. Gotta have my emulators

No, I will buy more android phones.

CORRECTION: Mr. Brightside is not about getting cucked by someone else, it's about getting cucked by yourself by pretending to be someone your not, and seeing the girl you like fall in love with this persona rather than the real you, but being too much of a bitch to be honest. And if someone wants to try and "correct me" by quoting the songwriter about what they mean, then piss off, the author is dead, and my interpretation is right.

Hi Frog!

Listening to this right after finding out about the Supreme Court decision that lets states gerrymander without regard for the racial make-up of the districts.

Graphene os has been great. Install process is just plugging a pixel into your computer and pushing a button on a website. Samsung phones are full of bloatware.

Freaking Apple cultists.

as a Tgirl whose originally from Dallas I concur with the assertion that Dallas is the hellmouth. the sisyphian challenge of trying to unearth my soul from the decades of toxic waste that growing up there buried me under has been a testament that anyone from anywhere can figure their shit out... eventually. never stop podcasting.

I don't use apple or Sony I have a Chinese ulefone Armor 22 which is waterproof has a night vision camera , headphone jack , abd I've thrown this across the loading dock multiple times and it's fine, I'm currently typing this with gloves covered in corrosive chemicals. It is the Chinese century

i am a literal texas archivist and appreciate the attention paid to this incredibl(ly evil) place. also “fun” Dallas historical newspaper fact: there was a Black-owned, progressive newspaper called the Dallas Express that folded in 1970. in 2021, some real estate shithead reused the Dallas Express name for, you guessed it, an online right-wing rag!

I love how so many of the comments are people roasting Nova for her weaknesses. Also I find modern iPhone UI confusing and overwhelming after years on android. What are all the swooshes why isn't it just doing exactly what I input? Why is it different from the original iPad (hand me down tech my biggest experience with apple, as I got Samsung when I was old enough for my own phone and now a Motorola). I will concede Apple has better overall user design, but there's a level of just familiarity.

Mr. Brightside is one of my karaoke go-tos so November's anecdote about it is very affirming

As a long time android user i can confirm that i am evil

Apple and Google are obviously both incredibly evil, Google arguably more so, but it's extremely funny to call Androids the Fisher-Price phone compared to iPhones

Android on Motorola is the best combo IMO

"colton burpo" is an insane pull mattie 💀

Unfortunately considering the centuries-old tradition of transmascs running away to be soldiers there probably was at least one trans Confederate veteran in Mississippi.

I am descended from these rootin tootin dog shooting racists on one side, please drag them as often as you can

I've had the free Galaxy Tab tablet forever. Works fine. I read books and manga on it. I need nothing else from it.

currently listening to this while sipping coffee in a Downtown Dallas Highrise, basking in the Mayortaculus' light as it shines over my city. (Also please check out "The Accommodation" by Jim Schultze for a detailed look at Dallas' fraught racial politics going into the Civil Rights Era)

My Kennedy theory is that everybody was sighting him up in Dallas that day: The Cubans, the Cuban exiles, the FBI, the French, several departments of the CIA, the Confederates APPARENTLY, and then when Oswald squeezed off three hot ones of his own volition they all had to slink out of there, avoiding each other's eyes.

Pete Buttigieg did become Prime Minister of the UK; his name is Kier Starmer

Clearly Eric █████ has a mild antimemetic property, which is why new York is the somewhere else of another place because he can only fix his geography by metaphor

My pixel was fine until Apple and Google started embargoing text messages from each other and I wouldn't receive important texts from people in my family with Apple phones until days later. I'm now trapped in Tim Apple's evil walled garden with taller, thicker walls but at least I'll know when someone in my family dies without being on facebook, which is radioactive with insane ai slop at this point

Just started the episode, and am stoked y’all are gonna beat up on some of my favorite Dallas psychos. I wrote my dissertation on the political economy of Dallas from the Kennedy assassination onward, and spent a lot of time researching the pre-Kennedy times to build up context. There’s an incredible story to be told, especially when it comes to the city’s policy of silencing Black and Brown communities via outright bribery and (less commonly) dynamite thrown through windows (generally seen as being “bad for business” and to be avoided). Also, if you care (and if not, fair enough) here in Dallas, “Cabell” rhymes with “cable,” not “Adele.”

What I'm getting from this is that nova has been lobotomized by the ghost of Steve Jobs

and it is here that i confess to being raised by calvinist (presbyterian) dallas oil psychos and thank you for your service exposing the madness of my city of origin one of my 3rd grade classmates brought charlene tilton as her show and tell and we all got a free soda from the teacher's lounge vending machine. it was rad

Unhinged shrieking in righteous indignation Mattie is my favourite Mattie.

This all makes so much more sense when you consider that the white northerners they needed the help of the white southerners to go west and do indigenous genocide. The civil war was basically just a petty factional dispute between the people who wanted to juice the economy through slavery and those who wanted to juice it through settler colonialism and industrialization, It is too bad that they didn’t kill every last white southerner though.

weeell well well, if'n it ain't the daisy-chain dudes

Honestly, the fact that it's slightly shit is the reason I picked a samsung phone. It's a very minor rebellion against an increasingly frictionless world to have a phone that is somewhat annoying to use and occasionally just dies for no reason.

As someone who grew up in a shitty fascist white flight enclave of Dallas, it's about how I expected my hometown to show up on the podcast Dallas sucks; the only cool thing that happened there was that Doom was developed there

Opening the podcast with a strong candidate for a Boonta Vista ‘stuff we should chat about’ is a marvellous move

Listen, I don't give a crap about the phone differences, but I will not stand K'Nex slander! That shit was the best when I was a kid.

I paid actual money for a Samsung Galaxy tab A9 and it does what I want (be an android phone but really big and cheap enough that I don't feel guilty taking it out of the house) but then I've been all in on the android ecosystem since uh... 2010? So I'm well accustomed to the requisite brain damage. I still fucking hate the Samsung ecosystem layered on top of the Android ecosystem.

very thematically relevant episode to post today :(

My used Samsung Galaxy A40 or whatever works fine. Sounds like November just needs to git gud.

The gay woke EU phone exists, unfortunately the OS is still Android-based....

My take is that Android is fine because it all works together. The problem is when idiots like Samsung start pointlessly redesigning stuff like a child drawing over a painting with crayon. So pixels are decent but galaxy devices suck ass.

the benefit of an android phone is that while yes the industrial design and the user experiance sucks you get to do all that stupid hacker bullshit like i have a hacked youtube client a patched tumblr app an ip level adblock and ive not seen a single piece of advertising in the last 200 years
