On this week's episode of our show, Captain Ingle and I set a course for the animated side of Star Trek. We begin with the original animated series, wherein intergalactic salesman Cyrano Jones brings genetically modified tribbles onboard the Enterprise. Second, we look at Lower Decks, wherein Ransom and Mariner Attempt to repair a space elevator while Boimler agrees to be more amenable to other people's requests. And finally, we look at Prodigy, wherein a genetic scientist promises to help Dal figure out his origins while the Romulans close in. Join us as we go boldly!

If you're just joining, go back to parts 1 and 2, where we demoted the CRM, built the warehouse, engineered the context layer, and built the shared meaning infrastructure that keeps agents from misinterpreting what they read.Episode 1: CRM GravityWe conquered the source of truth and discovered that the data warehouse replaces the CRM with portable audiences.Episode 2: The Eye of ContextWe learned why AI fails without context engineering, built the shared meaning infrastructure, and dug into why the industry built the wrong kind of meaning infrastructure in 2012.Episode 3: The Correlation MasqueradeToday, we escape the correlation trap and build the causal memory layer that separates agents that optimize correctly from agents that confidently scale the wrong behavior.Episode 4: The Dispatch TowerNext, we tackle the governance chaos of 30 vendors all claiming authority, and confront the interface decision that most organizations already made without realizing it.Let's continue our descent.---Okay so we're making our way down to the third floor with blood sweat and tears. But we're feeling good. Our data is clean-ish. You've built a context bundle that we're proud of and we collaborated on it with multiple people and shared definitions. We've got a nice big fancy data warehouse as our source of truth.Our warehouse holds a complete record of what happened. We can query patterns, correlations, historical campaign data, audience behaviors, outcome signals: all of it is available. But the problem we're about to find out is that none of what we've built so far can tell an agent whether the thing it's optimizing for was ever the right thing to optimize for. None of it explains why an intervention worked, or whether it worked for the reason the model assumes it did.Let's step through.---------------------------------------------------------------------------FLOOR 3: THE CORRELATION MASQUERADE---------------------------------------------------------------------------The layout of the correlation masquerade is like a high speed train to nowhere. You've spent two whole floors meticulously cleaning the “atoms” of your historical customer data and building a sturdy warehouse so that you can let AI and agents loose on the data. Maybe you're starting to play with ‘next best action sequences', building propensity models predicting the likelihood that certain cohorts of users will churn, maybe running reinforcement learning loops on historical context and doubling down on your best campaigns. Everything looks like it's working... until the world rumbles and you realize you're still in a trap.The layout of this floor is a room where every single action comes back wrong. And it's not technically AI's fault, they're just optimizing for a finish line that's actually just the end of the first heat of 8 heats. It's a trap.Why Agentic AI Optimizes for the Wrong Thing at ScaleJason Dobbs, the Head of Marketing Ops and GTM Engineering at Kumo describes it like this:JASON DOBBS, Kumo AI"A warehouse is a record of what happened. It's not a rulebook for what an agent should do next. If you let a generic agent optimize directly on historical correlations with unbound authority, you can absolutely scale the wrong behavior. A product that correlates with high LTV does not necessarily cause high LTV. Prediction is not policy. Once you cross into action, you still need guardrails, business rules, approvals, evidence that it's actually driving business outcomes."An AI system that treats prediction as their gold standard will happily optimize for proxies while the actual outcome you care about degrades.The Prediction TrapTobias Konitzer spent years studying this failure as a computational social scientist before bringing that lens to marketing. His argument is that predictive models describe what's already happening, and marketing is about changing what's going to happen. Those are different jobs, and the data warehouse doesn't distinguish between them by default.TOBIAS KONITZER, Episode 212"The nature of predictive models is they represent the status quo. Someone is going to churn, or someone is not going to churn, but that is the status quo. And there is really no point for marketing if everything is just status quo. There is no marketing role here."He describes a CRM head at a billion-dollar outdoor brand who found that high LTV customers had a strong correlation with viewing a specific product, a pair of jeans. The obvious response was to push those jeans into the welcome flow. The correlation ran in the wrong direction, though. Those customers already had high LTV before they saw the jeans. The jeans showed up alongside the relationship, long after it was established.Scaling that logic into the welcome flow pushed irrelevant products onto a broad cohort with nothing in common with the original high-LTV segment. The analysis was reproducible and data-supported; it just never verified whether the jeans caused the high LTV or merely accompanied it. An agent running the same logic would scale the error across every customer who matched the surface pattern, efficiently and invisibly, before anyone stopped to ask.Tobias calls this lazy thinking, and risky thinking: analysis that feels like rigor because it's data-supported and reproducible, but skips the question that would disqualify the conclusion.The Boomerang Effect on AI that Erodes RevenueWhen you let agentic AI loose on the data warehouse it has access to a TON of data. That's amazing. But raw data and then events and actions often leads to predictions that are based on correlation, and not causation.For example, let's say you task an agent with improving the number of free users that convert to paying users. The agent sees in the past that a discount campaign to a certain cohort of active free users on a certain day resulted in a high % of paying user conversions.The agent concludes: this campaign works. Scale it.But what it can't see: those active free users were already the most likely to convert, they were on the edge of paying with or without the discount. The campaign didn't cause the conversions. It just correlated with them. The agent found the easiest pattern in the data and called it a lever.Run that campaign at scale and a few things happen. You hand discounts to users who would have paid ...

What exactly is the Tradition of Accounting? Who do you report to, and why? We break down the hierarchy of sire, domain, Prince, and clan responsibility, exploring how a fledgling's mistakes can become an elder's problem. From unauthorized Embraces and Masquerade breaches to political liability and the traditions that keep Kindred society functioning, we examine why Accounting exists and how Storytellers can use it to create meaningful consequences instead of arbitrary punishment.

A lot of people say “speak it into existence,” but this episode asks a harder question: what are you doing after you say it? On this episode of Save The Date, Jamie and Heath unpack the difference between fantasy that actually moves a man forward and fantasy that leaves him trapped in ego. They talk about frontin', overconfidence, self-deception, and the ways men can convince themselves they are stronger, more skilled, or more prepared than reality would suggest. Using examples from fighting, sex, ambition, and dating, the conversation explores how unsupported fantasy can quietly become a liability — especially when a man has not done the work, taken the feedback, or built the consistency to carry what he claims. This is a sharper episode about humility, growth, delusion, and why real confidence does not need to lie to itself. If you have ever watched somebody confuse image with substance, or ego with actual development, this episode is going to land. #SaveTheDatePodcast #SoundCloudPodcast #Masculinity #SelfAwareness #ModernDating

What if the most dangerous spiritual practice isn't the one that looks dark and dangerous, but the one that looks peaceful, loving, and full of life? In this profound episode of the Meditation Podcast, we sit down with Tom Snow, a man who has spent 56 years navigating the complex intersections of faith, healing, and spiritual deception. From a terminal liver cancer diagnosis at age 16 to hearing the audible voice of God and witnessing a miraculous healing that defied medical science, Tom's story is one of radical transformation. We dive deep into the "greatest masquerade" in spiritual history, the difference between religious legalism and a true relationship with the Divine, and how to distinguish the "still small voice" from the many deceptive whispers in the spiritual realm. Whether you are seeking healing, clarity, or a deeper connection to your own sovereignty, Tom's insights offer a roadmap for finding the peace that truly passes understanding. ⏱️ Timestamps 0:00 Welcome & Introduction to Tom Snow 1:16 Tom's Story: A terminal liver cancer diagnosis at age 16 2:02 The Weight of Guilt: Believing he caused his mother's cancer 3:15 Visions of Eternity: Seeing life continue without him 4:00 The Audible Voice of God: "I love you" and a promise for the future 5:10 A Brother's Transformation: The gospel message after an LSD trip 6:24 The Chopper and the Hell's Angels: A radical turn toward darkness 8:16 The Grand Canyon Plan: A 16-year-old's plan for revenge and suicide 9:53 The Bubbling Up: Feeling the presence of God for the first time 11:41 The Miraculous Healing: A football-sized tumor melts in 24 hours 13:22 56 Years of Walking: Moving beyond organized religion and denominations 14:35 The Occult's PR Team: Why deception often looks like light 16:13 The "Checkmate the Matrix" Event: Finding solutions in community 25:57 The Names of the Disciples: Roman influence and Hebrew roots 27:11 Neither Jew nor Greek: Spiritual equality in the anointing 29:03 The Denomination Trap: Why 47,000 splits don't equal one bride 30:14 Hollywood vs. Reality: Debunking myths about demons and holy water 36:31 The Peace that Passes Understanding: The ultimate proof of God's presence 43:26 The Asbestos Connection: The tragic story behind Tom's mother's cancer 45:56 The Guilt of the World: Why Tom initially refused to seek help 58:26 The "PayPal" Achievement: How people are bilked for spiritual milestones 60:45 Psychedelics and Ayahuasca: Seeing connections vs. financial exploitation 61:42 Distinguishing the Voices: How to hear the true and living God 65:21 Don't Let Him Win: A powerful prayer for those facing suicidal thoughts 68:42 Nature's Golden Fire: Tom's mission to provide salt-free, sugar-free food 71:31 The 280 Million Americans: Why healthy food is a life-and-death issue 72:40 Where to Find Tom: JustToBeClear.com and his books 73:42 Outro: RoyCoughlan.com and the Meditation Podcast

Welcome back, Hazbin Hotelians…Mista Malave skipped class again. Honestly, at this point Charlie's gonna stop offering redemption and just charge him a late checkout fee.Today's lesson: Episode 4 - Masquerade:Tommy James takes the wheel while Sabrina Ace and Mr. A-Town Ryan break down one of the realest episodes in Hazbin Hotel so far. Under all the neon lights, jokes, drinks, and hotel lobby nonsense, this episode hits way harder than expected.We dive into Angel Dust finally letting the mask slip, Husk becoming the exhausted hotel bartender/therapist nobody asked for, and why “Poison” might be one of the most uncomfortable songs in the series once you actually listen to the lyrics instead of just vibing to it on TikTok.From the emotional damage hidden behind the performances to the weirdly honest message behind “Loser, Baby,” we break down the trauma, character growth, symbolism, and why this episode feels less like a cartoon and more like a therapy session Hell forgot to bill insurance for.
Welcome to Episode 1 of Moondusk Masquerade—where mystery drips like candle wax and everybody's hiding something behind those pretty little masks
The formula is simple. Step one, read great Irish literature. Step two, write killer songs. It's worked pretty well for Euan Manning of Cardinals so far. The Irish songwriter for the Cork-based band rattles off writers who have influenced him, and my god does he have impeccable taste: Flann O'Brien, Martin McDonagh, Kevin Barry, among others. As I always say, a clear through line travels from reading great writing to writing great words. The debut album by Cardinals is Masquerade.
I was fascinated to meet PJ Adzima, and learn about his path from his childhood on a farm to his career as a Broadway performer in the Book of Mormon. A chance encounter with a legendary composer changed his life forever and now as the CEO of the production company Stage Time, he's paying that forward by discovering and curating talent across genres through many projects. He talked about how embracing vulnerability and studying drag has been transformative and helped him take up space, challenge norms, and create with purpose.A joyful and deep appreciation for the performing arts certainly has driven his excellence and helped him transform his side project into his full-time business, and I'm sure you'll find PJ's energy infectious.Like all my episodes, you can also watch this on my YouTube channel or listen to the podcast on many podcast platforms, and I've also linked the transcript.

The Embrace is supposed to be sacred. So why do so many vampires treat it like an afterthought?Tonight we're diving into one of the oldest and most controversial Traditions of the Camarilla: Progeny. Who has the right to create another vampire? Why does the Prince claim ownership over your bloodline? And is this Tradition really about protecting the Masquerade—or protecting the power of elders?We'll explore sires who create childer for love, ambition, loneliness, politics, and pure selfishness. We'll talk about abandoned neonates, failed Embraces, bloodline responsibility, and what happens when a vampire decides they don't need permission to become a parent.Because every vampire remembers their sire.And some spend eternity trying to forgive them.Support the showhttps://linktr.ee/25YearsOfVtM

A cartography vessel mapping a sector of space that's expected to contain nothing of interest encounters…something of interest. Genre: Science Fiction, Mystery Excerpt:"This thing is changing by the hour. We may not have time for Vessel 86 to arrive before something even more intense happens." I walked on a few steps before I realized that my crew mate had stopped short. I turned and walked back to him. "More intense than that?" he asked, pointing out of the nearest porthole. I gaped. The fluttering spirals that we'd become accustomed to had shifted color, darkening in a pattern that was familiar to both of us. That pattern was a word. The word was, "Hello." The Wheel of Fiction Turns. What did it land on this time?Each Season 9 story follows a theme chosen by the Wheel of Fiction. Thirteen spokes. Eight are the themes from previous seasons. One is "Turn Again." One is a wild card. And three are covered in question marks and will be revealed when the wheel lands on them. See a story trailer and a (satisfying) video of the wheel turning here: Encounter With Ship 47 This episode landed on MUSIC. Ooo, one of the mystery spokes has been revealed. I listened to a track called "Dimension of Time" from the soundtrack for a computer game from my youth, "The Dig." And I had visions of adventure in space...

A Note from Jacob: Since my conversation with Matt, the 2026 Janice Jam at Sony Hall is OFFICIALLY SOLD OUT! I am thrilled to welcome back my friend, actor Matt DeAngelis, to Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar for an exclusive conversation! Originally from Boston, Massachusetts, Matt grew up on showtunes and Boston sports. Matt studied theatre at the University of Southern Maine and The Boston Conservatory before heading down Route 95 to NYC in 2004. In June 2009, Matt got the call to make his Broadway debut in the Tony-winning production of HAIR with Tony Award winner Diane Paulus at the helm. Matt continued with that production, “Across the Atlantic Sea,” to the West End in the role of “Woof,” then launched the first national US Tour of HAIR, and was seen back on Broadway in the “Summer of Love” revival of HAIR. Following his time with the hippies, Matt launched the first national tour of Green Day's AMERICAN IDIOT as the “Representative from Jingletown”. Matt's cross-country adventures continued in 2014 with the first national tour of ONCE, where he played “Svec” and five instruments. Over the last five years, Matt has been a veteran of almost 2,000 performances. Thankfully, Matt returned home to Broadway (again with Diane Paulus) in the hit musical WAITRESS, where he starred opposite Tony Award winner Jessie Mueller, two-time Grammy winner Jason Mraz, and seven-time Grammy nominee and the show's composer, Sara Bareilles. He then toured the country with the WAITRESS National Tour as Earl opposite his real-life wife, Christine Dwyer, as Jenna. Upon returning from the road, Matt was a part of developing the World Premiere of The Secret Life of Bees at The Atlantic Theatre Company, directed by Tony Award winner Sam Gold. He also appeared in Orpheus Descending at Theatre for a New Audience. Matt DeAngelis also started the Janice Jam in memory of his mother, Janice, who passed from metastatic breast cancer in 2022. This annual event channels the magic of Broadway to honor those we've lost, uplift those fighting, and fund critical research. This event serves as a yearly celebration of Janice, her love for theater, and raising money for those affected by metastatic breast cancer. An all-star group of performers is joining Matt and his wife, Christine Dwyer, this year. Ari Axelrod, Ashley Loren, Carrie St. Louis, Cassadee Pope, Derek Klena, Donald Webber Jr., Eric Michael Krop, Justin Matthew Sargent, Kara Lindsay, Laurie Hernandez, and Norm Lewis are all expected to participate in the show. On this exclusive edition of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Matt DeAngelis spoke about how Janice Jam partnered with Masquerade and previewed the sold-out event.

I hit Club M4 sex club (Mississauga Ontario) for a Sinfully Sweet-hosted masquerade night with Curly Vixen, Amelia, and Peekaboo, checking in on what everyone wanted: Amelia was open to the right hookup with chemistry, a drink, and basic chivalry; Curly was open to whatever happened and excited to see familiar faces; and Peekaboo was looking for the usual, including getting spanked by strangers. Later, as I left around quarter to one, I'd lost track of my friends after moving through the club, though I did spot Curly having fun in the back room and saw Amelia and Peekaboo dancing earlier. I took in the action across M4, with people having sex everywhere in the back room, including the female and regular glory holes, the sex swing, and even more public play in the main lounge, plus I noticed rule changes like needing to dress down to be in the library. 00:00 Girls Night Arrival 00:12 Amelia's Hookup Wishlist 00:57 Curly Vixen's Plans 01:13 Peekaboo's Spanking Agenda 01:33 Party Time Montage 01:45 Late Night Exit Update 02:09 Back Room Sex Scene Tour 03:03 Rules Changes and Crowd 03:39 Masquerade Wrap Up *description written with the help of AI* ***** Get 50% off a single course of your choice at Level Up with Toronto Unicorn using code: TUPODCAST50 ***** My new digital course website: https://levelupwithtorontounicorn.com/ Sign up for my email newsletters to stay up-to-date on TorontoUnicorn news, events and swinger lifestyle resources: https://torontounicorn.kit.com/torontounicornemails ALL social media links (YouTube, podcasts, fan page, etc): https://linktr.ee/TorontoUnicorn DIRECT link to my explicit TorontoUnicorn fan page: https://OnlyFans.com/TorontoUnicorn

Faces covered, identities unknown - masquerade balls sound like a place of anonymity and, therefore, SCANDAL.But how true is this in the 18th Century? Could people sneak in unrecognised like they do in Bridgerton? And how much would people be misbehaving inside?Kate is joined for this particular dance by Dr Meghan Kobza, author of 'Masquerade: Unmasking Georgian London'.Sign up to History Hit for hundreds of hours of original documentaries, with a new release every week and ad-free podcasts.

Few parties in history can match the Georgian 'Masquerade'. And among Georgian masquerades the one given by the King of Denmark in London in 1768 was particularly enchanting. It brought those of the greatest means and highest rank together in London theatre that was filled with artful costumes and glittering jewels. This week's guest, Meghan Kobza, tells us all about the Georgian masquerade – who started it, where did it come from, how much did it cost to get in – and she takes us inside the theatre in 1768. One character who catches her eye is the unfortunate Agneta Yorke whose night turns out to be a comedy of errors. The scenes, characters and storylines in this episode of Travels Through Time all feature in Meghan Kobza's book, The Masquerade A History of Extravagance and Intrigue. Show Notes Scene One: October 1768. At the masquerade habit warehouse scene on Tavistock Street operated by the Spilsburys. Scene Two: October 1768. Getting ready to go out with Agneta Yorke. Scene Three: October 1768. At the King of Denmark's Masquerade. Memento: Agneta Yorke's dress People/Social Presenter: Peter Moore Guest: Meghan Kobza Producers: Maria Nolan Theme music: Firelight by Minka

Any recommendation to play Bloodlines comes with all sorts of disclaimers attached, which makes it nearly irresistable for someone with a brain like mine. And while all of those bad things I had heard about the game turned out to be extremely true, it's still a fascinating game that led to a fun discussion. Check out the podcast for more!
