EPISODE #446-- We return from Spring Break and mark the end of Black History Month with a journey back into our BS. That's right, we're talking a Yukio Mishima adaptation from the Golden Age of Japanese Cinema. Today we're rapping about Kon Ichikawa's CONFLAGRATION (1958), a beautiful look into post-War masculinity, obsession, disability, and religion. Good episode of a great movie. We also talk about WALLACE & GROMIT: VENGEANCE MOST FOWL (2025), RUNAWAY JURY (RIP Gene Hackman), THE TERMINATOR, HBO's THE PITT, Amazon's REACHER, and another Ichikawa banger, FIRES ON THE PLAIN. Good stuff. Join the cause at Patreon.com/Quality. Follow the us on on Bluesky at kislingconnection and cruzflores, on Instagram @kislingwhatsit, and on Tiktok @kislingkino.

When fires erupted in Los Angeles in early January, the incidents seemed to shift from wildfire to urban conflagration in an instant. Orange County Fire Authority Fire Chief Brian Fennessy, who grew up in Altadena, hurried back to his home community as it was being run over by the Eaton Fire. What Fennessy witnessed was mind-blowing – only a few homes in a massive area spared from the fires. Fennessy shares his experience during the firestorm, including his use of milk and beer to address one hazardous condition; his reflections on the state of wildfire, WUI and urban conflagration training; his perspective on resource ordering systems that can delay critical apparatus getting on the road; and information about the California Fire Service Leadership Alliance. Next: Watch Chief Fennessy on “60 Minutes.” This episode of the Better Every Shift Podcast is sponsored by MagneGrip.

RP Corp founder Jack Frayne-Reid and post-2019 junior partner G. Wariotifo bicker for an hour or so about the commercial and creative direction of the show, culminating in the return of classic RP segment "Cop or Comrade", a Nick Cave impressions competition, and the shock departure of half the once-iconic duo.

Before Russia's Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine, he met with Chinese dictator Xi Jinping in Beijing. Before Israel was invaded, Iranian and Palestinian leaders did the same.  And after Venezuela's Nicholas Maduro returned from meeting Xi in China's capital, he announced that he would invade Guyana – an as-yet unfulfilled threat or, more to the point, an unexecuted order.  Could yet another invasion loom after Secretary of State Tony Blinken's current visit with Xi in Beijing?  Actually, the Chinese Communist Party has already illegally inserted into this country multiple divisions-worth of unaccompanied, fighting-age men, apparently personnel of the People's Liberation Army. If the CCP regards Blinken and Joe Biden, who have allowed this invasion, to be – like Xi's aforementioned interlocutors – its “controlled assets,” our home front may soon be the locus of the next act of strategic arson by Xi Jinping.  God help us. This is Frank Gaffney.

On a warm spring day in April 1734, a fire raged through Montreal's merchant quarters. When the flames finally died, 46 buildings – including the Hôtel-Dieu convent and hospital – had been destroyed. Within hours, rumors ran rampant that Marie-Joseph Angélique, an enslaved Black woman fighting for her freedom, had started the fire with her white lover, Claude Thibault. Less than 24 hours later, Angelique was sitting in a prison cell. Her lover was nowhere to be found. More than 20 witnesses appeared before the judge, all claiming Angélique was the arsonist. But no one saw her set the fire.It didn't matter. In an era when lawyers were banned from practising in New France, Angélique was on her own. She denied starting the fire. Philippe Archambeau, a court clerk assigned specifically to document her case, believed Angelique might just be telling the truth. That belief only got stronger after Angélique was tortured – and finally confessed. Her captors used the brodequins to crush Angélique's leg. Her spirit remained indomitable.As Angélique was paraded through the streets of Montreal, Incendiare embroidered across the front of her white chemise, Archambeau finally realized what really happened the night Montreal burned to the ground.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

He reviews the swings of climate since then, and jumps to a story of footprints crossing mega-mammal tracks in White Sands National Park, New Mexico, USA – dated to 22,000 years ago! Then on to some archaeological findings in Northwest British Columbia and Israel, plus glacial studies from Italy and Arid Central Asia, all finding that there have been regular climate swings, marked by repeated advances and retreats of ice. Confirmations of cyclical climate variability, and recent temps more than four degrees Celsius higher than now, fire up RC to slam the Climate Crisis narrative and the misinformed who mindlessly support the move to a vulnerable non-industrial civilization.

What makes a Challenging Game? Episode 167 Streamed Live Tuesday November 28, 2023 Main Topic: What makes a Challenging Game? CR vs random tables vs encounters to fit the ‘story'/adventure. When does challenging become a meat grinder? How can mechanics inform the challenge of a game? Some examples for comparison: DnD OSR : fairly random, expect that the ‘wilderness' could produce almost any creature, no skill checks to challenge Player characters- proficiencies allowed for this to a lesser extent in later editions, combat dangerous to engage and sometimes players need to have superior planning and careful with resources. DnD 3.X +: CR becomes a bigger thing, skills significant in 3.X, less so in 4e and 5e but big push to challenge PCs not players, combat usually lands in favor of the PCs especially if player skill is high enough to build a powerful PC. 13th age: skills more loosely defined via backgrounds, short of significant imbalanced encounter design PCs almost always win, very predictable combat if follow the patterns shown by the adventures provided by the game, Savage Worlds: whole game is skill based, Pcs are heroes, but combat can be swingy Rolemaster: critical tables cause the game to lean toward swinginess Do you prefer games that are run so that they challenge the character more than the player or vice versa? Some additional thoughts on magic systems Joe: Using 1e ADnD magic as a base, add the following: Spell/Magic/Mana points Use an activation check (may replace a save*) This is a alternate to having a magic phase in combat: Divide spells into categories: Invocations (combat cast), Incantations (may be interrupted) , Ritual (not for combat) Attack roll instead of saves as much as possible, one roll even for AOE. Use saves for spells that control or deceive, such as charm, sleep, etc. Consider Entangle: An attack roll represents the plants initial grasping of targets. Anytime someone enters after the initial casting gets an attack roll as well. Magic attacks are based on caster's magic stat with bonuses at higher level. Miss will mean the same as a save did. Randy: Prefer spells be re-written completely & would like more evocative names. Coarsal's Conflagration (common parlance- Fireball)- think of it as a nod to Vance. Might combat spells be automatically cast ( i.e., no disruption), but debuffed a bit so that they do not dominate. EX: Lightning Bolt: less damage, but still affect multiples. Or some spells could be offensive, but be incantations such as: Fireball (maybe increase damage), Haste(ritual version [affects a group of folks for s specified time amount maybe in rounds or minutes]/incantations version [cast at the spur of the moment, maybe in combat/maybe not, only affects one person and duration is but a couple rounds maximum]) So, some spells could be cast in a variety of forms: combat, ritual, incantation or mix Rituals take anywhere from Minutes to years in preparation, collection of components, performance of rites, and casting time. However, these should be highly useful and/or powerful/game changing. Random Geek-itude The d12 Days of Horde Wars- Christmas Holiday Special giveaway! 12 PDFS given away over the next 3-4 weeks.

In his first ever speech following the Israel-Hamas conflict, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah openly challenged Israel and the United States. He emphasized Hezbollah's readiness and lack of fear towards U.S. warships.But why now? Why did the Hezbollah leader wait until now to issue a response to the recent month's devastating attacks?And reports suggest that Iran does not want regional war, and even the Hezbollah leader did not declare all-out war on Israel, at least not at this moment. So, why this reluctance?Listen in!Produced by Anna PriyadarshiniSound Mix by Nitin Rawat

By Amy Goodman & Denis Moynihan The climate crisis is not a looming threat; it is here now.

Advancements in Artificial Intelligence are now creeping into how art is shaped and produced. It's no exaggeration to say that this will change the face of the book industry. Understandably, many creatives are very concerned about what this means for them and their livelihoods as the genie is well out of the bottle and unlikely to ever be put back. While the dragons are not experts on the subject, they are here to have an open discussion about matters as they stand. It isn't the end of the creative process and there are ways to use the technology in an ethical manner. So don't panic - the dragons may not have all the answers but they can probably point you in the right direction.

EPISODE #387-- We carry on with Pride Month, this time tackling the classic gender-bending musical comedy, VICTOR/VICTORIA (1982), written and directed by Blake Edwards. It's a good one.

Catholic poet Jane Greer joins the podcast to read from her third collection, The World As We Know It Is Falling Away. She discusses the spiritual challenges that came with the great success of her previous book, Love Like a Conflagration, connecting to a major theme of her new book: fallen man's thwarted desire to exceed divinely ordained limits to earthly delights, in the face of death and apocalypse – along with the real beauty of the gifts God has given us to enjoy in this life.
