Crack open your Core Rulebook, dump stat Charisma, and calibrate your resolve points—because it's time to roll initiative against entropy itself with the Starfinder Galaxy Guide, where space is weird, and the rules are weirder. This episode is brought to you by Dungeon Flow—because your players will never know you prepped their dungeon during the loading screen of Baldur's Gate 3. In this multidimensional episode of The RPGBOT.Podcast, the hosts open with an honest and humorous take on Mother's Day, Father's Day, and the emotional nuances surrounding both. The discussion then shifts into exciting news about their upcoming expansion on YouTube, underscoring the importance of consistency and community engagement in content creation. The heart of the episode dives deep into Paizo's Starfinder Galaxy Guide, with the hosts enthusiastically breaking down the lore, design, and imaginative potential of Starfinder's universe. From the cosmic horror of the Absurdity to the mechanical brilliance of new ancestries, this episode offers rich insight for both new players and veteran spacefarers. Starfinder 2e Galaxy Guide (affiliate link) Key Takeaways: Mother's Day gets more attention than Father's Day, and that's okay—maybe. Consistency is crucial to podcast and community growth, especially on platforms like YouTube. Personal challenges and humor can coexist, making space for honest conversations in nerd culture. The Starfinder Galaxy Guide offers exciting new content and structure for storytelling. The Gap remains a fascinating mystery driving Starfinder's lore. Absalom Station is the galaxy's heartbeat—narratively and thematically. The Absurdity introduces chaos and creativity into campaign design. Starfinder blends genres like horror, sci-fi, and fantasy in a way few systems can. New ancestries and backgrounds open doors to fresh character creation strategies. Cosmic horror and dystopian themes can be deeply engaging when done well. Characters like Sarkeesians and Vlaka bring unique narrative and mechanical twists. Patrons in Warlock-style pacts should have tangible narrative impact. RPG humor—yes, even bad fast food jokes—adds depth to the gaming table. Engaging with the community sparks creative inspiration and innovation.

ANTHONY METIVIER ON MEMORY ENGINES!!!Today, we're building on the foundation laid by previous Magnetic Memory workshops. Willie the Whit isn't just guessing what the "Memory Engines" are; he's using his already established understanding of Magnetic Imagery and Memory Palaces to anticipate how these new encoding "engines" will fit into and enhance his existing framework. The upcoming workshop isn't a completely new language, but a deeper dive into the grammar of effective memory input.Willie the Whit's Pre-Anticipated "Memory Engines" (Informed by Past MMM Workshops:Given Anthony's focus on "poor encoding" and "Magnetic Imagery," these "Engines" are likely mechanisms for making those images more effective at the crucial point of input.

Send us a textThe line between professional attire and personal expression has never been blurrier—especially now that TikTok is giving questionable fashion advice to workplace newcomers. We dive deep into the viral "office siren" trend where primarily Gen Z professionals are showing up to corporate environments in micro-minis and knee-high boots, only to face swift consequences when their romanticized vision of office life collides with reality.Both of us share our own experiences navigating dress code violations from both sides of the HR desk. Would you immediately terminate someone for an inappropriate outfit on their first day, or is this a coachable moment? We explore how dress code enforcement disproportionately impacts women, with one of us recalling valuable feedback received early in her career: "You have great ideas, but I'm afraid your messaging gets lost when people are distracted by how you're dressed." It's an uncomfortable truth that still resonates years later.The workplace sensitivity discussion reaches new heights as we examine the case of a UK employee who won £29,000 (approximately $38,000) after colleagues compared her to Darth Vader in a Star Wars personality test. This lawsuit raises important questions about where we draw the line between harmless team-building and genuinely harmful workplace behavior, especially for those with diagnosed anxiety. While acknowledging mental health challenges are real, we question whether we've gone too far in accommodating hypersensitivity that makes normal workplace interactions increasingly difficult.Is your workplace navigating the delicate balance between self-expression and professionalism?

Scripture: Luke 24: 1-13 Jesus Has Risen On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. 5 In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? 6 He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: 7 ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.' ” 8 Then they remembered his words. 9 When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. 10 It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles. 11 But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense. 12 Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he went away, wondering to himself what had happened. On the Road to Emmaus 13 Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles[a] from Jerusalem.   Luke 24:36-44   Jesus Appears to the Disciples 36 While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” 37 They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost. 38 He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? 39 Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.” 40 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet. 41 And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” 42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43 and he took it and ate it in their presence. 44 He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.”

00:00:00 – Joe Returns and Anti-Dog Climate Push Joe is back from vacation and reflects on a noisy Houston trip. The crew dives into a report claiming that pet dogs are a climate threat due to their emissions and impact on wildlife. The show debates the logic and absurdity of this claim, humorously defending dog ownership. 00:10:00 – Poop Theory and Dog Attack Prevention Discussion deepens around dog waste, the logistics of picking it up, and the environmental footprint of dog food. A bizarre story emerges about a man stopping a dog attack by inserting his finger into the dog's backside — sparking disbelief and crude jokes. 00:20:00 – Dog Park Chaos and Tech Illiteracy Study A second video shows more dog park drama. The team transitions to a new study that links lack of computer skills to lower intelligence rather than lack of training, sparking commentary on aging, tech literacy, and whether some people are just beyond help. 00:30:00 – Helicopter Marshmallow Drops and Sperm Racing A Michigan Easter event drops marshmallows from a helicopter, but kids aren't allowed to eat them — only trade them for prizes. The episode then dives into the bizarre concept of “sperm racing,” a real event in LA involving university students, sperm samples, leaderboards, and betting. 00:40:00 – Sperm Racing Gets Real and Tucker's Turn The logistics of sperm races continue, and the absurdity of the event is explored. Then the focus shifts to Tucker Carlson's recent shift from establishment war hawk to 9/11 skeptic, showing how drastically public figures can evolve over time. 00:50:00 – AI Trading Grifts and Diaper Challenges The team critiques a fake AI influencer claiming stock market success. They mock TikTok trends where adults participate in diaper-wearing challenges. A comedian's bit about aging and avoiding loud places sparks agreement and stories from the hosts. 01:00:00 – Triggered Over MAGA Hats and Media Bias A woman loses it over someone wearing a MAGA hat at a restaurant. The hosts examine extreme emotional reactions and discuss how mainstream media selectively crafts sympathetic narratives depending on politics. 01:10:00 – Deported “Maryland Father” vs. MS-13 Reality The show unpacks the media story about a deported "Maryland father" that glosses over his gang ties and illegal entry. Audio clips show the political spin versus actual legal records, including the MS-13 affiliation and multiple arrests. 01:20:00 – Narrative Control and Listener Abduction Stories More analysis of the deportation case and the twisted logic used to defend gang-affiliated individuals. Listeners call in, including one sharing a fragmented, emotional story of alien abduction, missing time, and strange childhood encounters. 01:30:00 – Abduction Memories and Strange News Wrap-Up Another caller recounts being paralyzed and encountering a being in his room as a child.

In this episode, we welcome back political journalist and author Will Saletan. Will, formerly of Slate and now a writer for The Bulwark, is known for his sharp insights on American democracy, political corruption, and authoritarianism. Will reflects on the pivotal events leading up to and following the 2024 election, including Joe Biden's withdrawal, Kamala Harris's campaign, and Donald Trump's return to power. This thought-provoking conversation dives into the state of democracy, the rise of authoritarianism, and how ordinary Americans are responding. What You Will Learn How Will Saletan processed the chaotic political landscape leading up to the 2024 election. Why many Americans seem indifferent to threats against constitutional rights. Will's analysis of Trump's authoritarian tendencies and the implications for democracy. The emerging role of European allies as America's commitment to NATO and democracy weakens. Practical strategies for handling misinformation and toxic discourse on social media. Episode Highlights [00:01:00] Introduction to Will Saletan and a reflection on major events since their last conversation. [00:03:00] Will discusses his surprise at Biden's physical and verbal deterioration during the 2024 campaign. [00:07:00] The challenges Kamala Harris faced stepping into the race and why the "change election" dynamic mattered. [00:11:00] Corey and Will examine why many Americans rationalized or minimized January 6th. [00:23:00] Will explains how fear and profit motive lead companies and law firms to capitulate to authoritarian pressures. [00:29:00] How self-censorship and fear of government retribution are stifling free speech. [00:54:00] Will shares the "general idea" he's concluded about the Trump administration: incompetence and stupidity at historic levels. [01:03:00] Hope on the horizon: how European nations are stepping up to defend democratic values. [01:06:00] Final reflections on the resilience of democracy beyond America's current political struggles. Featured Quotes Will Saletan: "What clicks for me is very simple: they're idiots. They're really stupid, and they think they're smart." Will Saletan: "The danger isn't just the lies themselves—it's the machinery of intimidation that stops people from even trying to tell the truth." Corey Nathan: "It's encouraging when you realize people are so much more than the hat they might wear." Will Saletan: "Even though America has faltered, there's still goodness in the world—and it's stepping up."

【聊了什么】 本期节目由《这瓜有毒》制作,录制于3月中旬。 本期节目聚焦美国科研界在特朗普第二次执政后所面临的空前挑战。几位嘉宾分享了他们的第一手观察——从政府大规模裁员、联邦经费冻结,到频频传出的各种“关键字”审查,一连串政策变化让科研机构和高校都陷入了前所未有的混乱。 很多研究项目和人才因此停摆或外流,更令人担忧的是,部分公共卫生与基础科研项目可能因此断档,影响范围远远超出美国本土。 除了官方与学术机构的角力,本期节目还提及多位科研工作者的亲身体会。他们与主持人讨论了在经费不确定、审查规则模糊的情况下,如何调整研究方向,或者转向其他领域谋出路。这些应对方法虽然艰难,但也反映出当科研环境被政策因素扰动时,人们必须不断摸索新生存方式。 从长远来看,科研生态一旦受损,影响的绝不仅是论文发表或学术奖项,还有可能带来公共卫生、国际合作等多方面的风险。节目的核心信息是:学术界需要更多互相支持与协力,也需积极与公众保持沟通,争取让科学研究在复杂环境里依然能生根发芽。 【支持我们】 如果喜欢这期节目并希望支持我们将节目继续做下去: 也欢迎加入我们的会员计划: https://theamericanroulette.com/paid-membership/ 会员可以收到每周2-5封newsletter,可以加入会员社群,参加会员活动,并享受更多福利。 合作投稿邮箱:american.roulette.pod@gmail.com 【嘉宾介绍】 孔孔:这瓜有毒主播 Y博:药企科学家,专注于新药研发及科普创作。其微信公众号 @一个生物狗的科普小园 广受好评。 Talich:美轮美换主播,现居亚利桑那的美国政治和文化历史爱好者。 【时间轴】 02:15 初步讨论科研经费冻结 嘉宾提到 NIH、NSF 等科研机构出现的经费暂停,并分享第一手观察,说明不少研究项目无故被搁置。 07:10 裁员风波与内部混乱 大量政府部门和高校开始裁员或冻结职位,导致项目审批停摆。嘉宾们举例说明这一政策对研究人员个人与团队的冲击。 10:25 “关键字审查”的荒诞例 从 “woman”“transgender” 等词遭到过滤,到与疫苗研究及中美合作相关的项目被取消,探讨这背后可能的政治逻辑。 15:40 公共卫生的隐忧 麻疹、禽流感等疾病的防控工作也难以幸免;政府层面的信息发布与应对协调存在明显滞后风险。 21:05 高校的应对与困境 多所知名大学开始缩减博士生名额、暂停招生或项目;对年轻研究者而言,职业前景骤然受挫。 24:10 个人感受与现实选择 科研人员谈到应对策略,部分人考虑转向私营企业或跨国合作,另一些则只能等待政策走向明朗。 28:35 马斯克的角色与政府关系 马斯克在裁员和管理层面所扮演的作用,如何与特朗普政府形成强势“组合拳”,对科技产业也产生辐射影响。 33:20 长期影响:科研生态断裂与人才流失 减少科研投入可能带来的潜在代价,不仅限于美国,更会波及国际学术合作与基础研究发展。 【我们是谁】 美轮美换是一档深入探讨当今美国政治的中文播客。 【 What We Talked About】 This episode was produced by 这瓜有毒 and recorded in mid-March. This episode focuses on the unprecedented challenges facing the American research community following Donald Trump's return to power. Our guests share first-hand accounts of what they've witnessed—massive government layoffs, a freeze on federal funding, and increasing reports of politically driven “keyword” censorship. These policy shifts have thrown research institutions and universities into an era of chaos not seen before. Many research projects have been halted or abandoned, and researchers are leaving the field or the country altogether. Even more concerning is the potential collapse of key public health initiatives and basic science programs, with ripple effects far beyond the United States. Beyond the clash between official institutions and academia, this episode also highlights the personal experiences of scientists on the ground. In conversation with the host, they discuss how they've had to shift their research focus—or leave their fields entirely—amid budget uncertainty and vague, shifting censorship rules. These tough decisions reveal how deeply political interference is reshaping the scientific environment, and how researchers must continually adapt to survive. In the long run, a damaged research ecosystem affects far more than academic publications or professional accolades—it carries risks for public health, global scientific collaboration, and technological progress. The core message of this episode: the academic community must foster greater solidarity, maintain open lines of communication with the public, and continue planting the seeds of science—even in hostile soil. 【Support Us】 If you like our show and want to support us, please consider the following: Join our membership program: https://theamericanroulette.com/ Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/americanroulette Business Inquiries and fan mail: american.roulette.pod@gmail.com 【Timeline】 02:15 – Initial Discussion on Research Funding Freeze Guests discuss the suspension of funding from agencies like the NIH and NSF, sharing first-hand observations of research projects being stalled or canceled without explanation. 07:10 – Layoff Waves and Institutional Chaos Widespread layoffs and hiring freezes across government agencies and universities have paralyzed project approvals. Guests provide examples of how these policies have directly impacted individual researchers and teams. 10:25 – The Absurdity of “Keyword Censorship” Terms like “woman” and “transgender” have reportedly been filtered out, and projects related to vaccines or U.S.-China collaborations canceled. The guests explore the possible political motivations behind these actions. 15:40 – Public Health in Jeopardy Disease control efforts for illnesses like measles and avian flu are not spared. There are serious concerns about delays and dysfunction in how the government communicates and coordinates public health responses. 21:05 – Universities' Response and Dilemmas Prestigious universities are cutting PhD slots, pausing admissions, or shutting down programs entirely. For early-career researchers, this has suddenly upended their career prospects. 24:10 – Personal Stories and Hard Choices Researchers describe their strategies to adapt: some are shifting to private sector roles or international collaborations, while others are stuck in limbo, waiting for the political climate to stabilize. 28:35 – Elon Musk's Role and Ties to Government Musk's involvement in layoffs and organizational shakeups is examined, along with how his alignment with the Trump administration forms a powerful force reshaping the tech and science landscape. 33:20 – Long-Term Impact: A Broken Research Ecosystem and Talent Exodus Cuts in research investment may have long-term costs, not just for the U.S. but for global scientific cooperation and the future of foundational research.

[EP 25-137] Democrats' policies rarely make sense, but some are so obviously destructive that you have to wonder if they're doing it on purpose. Case in point: tariffs. The Left's opposition to tariffs is as illogical as their refusal to secure the border. Both policies leave America weaker, and both are driven by an agenda that prioritizes global interests over American prosperity. America Last: The Trade HypocrisyLet's start with the absurdity of our beef trade. America imports $3 billion worth of beef from Australia, yet Australia refuses to buy our beef to protect its own ranchers. So, riddle me this: how does it make economic sense to ship cattle thousands of miles across the Pacific and still sell it cheaper than beef raised in our own backyard? That's like bottling American water, shipping it to Sydney, and buying it back at a discount.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kevin-jackson-show--2896352/support.

Mike kicks off a fresh month of Patreon picks alongside Cullen Gallagher and Rob St. Mary to unpack the satirical brilliance of Tomás Gutiérrez Alea's 1966 gem, Death of a Bureaucrat. When a revered Cuban sculptor invents a revolutionary bust-making machine only to meet his untimely demise at its mechanical hands, bureaucratic absurdity kicks into high gear. Buried proudly with his labor card, the sculptor inadvertently sparks a Kafkaesque quest as his widow and nephew wrestle hilariously with red tape, relentless officials, and ridiculous obstacles—all in pursuit of the one document standing between them and survival. Special thanks to Patreon supporter John Redford for this sharp, comedic dive into the madness of bureaucracy.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth-podcast--5513239/support.

Welcome back, friends! In this episode of the Superlatively Yes Podcast, Jennifer and I discuss various topics ranging from awards and personal achievements to fashion insights and conspiracy theories. We get tickled by our personal experiences with award-winning and losing, discuss a trending TikTok personality, and talk about what we are currently watching, including shows like Severance. Also, Jen tells me some very disappointing news about the Publishers Clearing House. We also explore the significance of awards and recognition in both personal and professional contexts. We reflect on our own achievements, the prestige of major awards like the Nobel Peace Prize and the Pulitzer Prize, and the journey of creativity in writing. Of course, we give made-up awards to one another for home management and finding lost items. Most importantly, we discuss the importance of acknowledging personal achievements, embracing flaws, and letting go of unnecessary competition. The conversation also touches on the significance of remembering others, the challenges of consumer culture, and the journey of personal growth and resilience. Thanks so much for hanging out with us. We think YOU deserve an AWARD!
