In this thought-provoking episode of Paranormal Roundtable, Wolf, Anthony, Sean, Dick Richards, and special guest Takahashi continue their deep discussion on childhood memories, paranormal experiences, spiritual warfare, past lives, consciousness, and the unseen forces that may influence our reality.The conversation explores strange childhood encounters, missing memories, sleepwalking incidents, near-abduction stories, numerology, life path numbers, reincarnation, spiritual attacks, Archons, the Black Cube Matrix, and the ongoing battle between light and darkness. The panel also examines theories surrounding consciousness, soul origins, extraterrestrial connections, spiritual discernment, and the importance of faith in navigating an increasingly complex world.

What if reality isn't what we've been told?In this episode of Paranormal Roundtable, Josh Turner, Taki, Richard, Sean, and Anthony explore the mysterious concept of The Black Cube Matrix—an alleged artificial reality overlay connected to Saturn symbolism, consciousness manipulation, ancient civilizations, interdimensional beings, and the nature of existence itself.The discussion dives deep into topics including the prison planet theory, black goo phenomena, reptilian entities, out-of-body experiences, soul consciousness, Saturn worship, the Mandela Effect, CERN, ancient mythology, quantum entanglement, spiritual warfare, and hidden aspects of human reality.

What happens when consciousness extends beyond the physical body? In this episode of Paranormal Round Table, Josh Turner, Anthony, Richard, and Sean continue their fascinating conversation with experiencer Takiyasha, who shares incredible accounts of out-of-body experiences, pre-birth memories, alternate realities, spiritual encounters, and the hidden nature of existence itself.Takiyasha describes vivid journeys into realms she claims feel more real than everyday life, encounters with non-human intelligences, memories from before birth, and experiences involving mysterious technologies, pyramidal structures, and dimensional travel. The discussion explores consciousness, reincarnation, soul contracts, spiritual warfare, UFO phenomena, interdimensional entities, shapeshifting, ancient civilizations, and the possibility that reality is far more complex than we can perceive.The panel also dives into topics such as black goo theory, dark matter, Daniel Nemes and "Energy Vision," thought forms, soul families, astral projection, ancient mysteries, catastrophism, hidden history, giant civilizations, and the connection between technology and the spiritual realm.

Have you ever felt like you just didn't belong? Not just among your peers, but among humanity itself. What if it's because you were never from here in the first place? You've lived a life before this which you don't remember, but the echoes of it still resonate into the life you live now. You are not alone.

Send us Fan MailWe've covered some heavy hitters this first half of 2026: The Matrix. Terminator 2: Judgement Day. Scream. Mannequin Two: On the Move. Yes, this episode, we're covering 1991's $3.8 million-grossing juggernaut sequel that's so big, we had to bring back our old friend, Doug McCambridge, from Good Time Great Movies to help us talk about it. We also somehow talk about the original 1987 Mannequin film, which is a shock, considering the thematic depth and cinematic breadth of Mannequin Two.

A man slowly losing his memory. His speech fading. His foot wouldn't even hit the brake. Black mold had been silently destroying his brain, and nobody caught it. Then he tried something different. Five minutes later, the noise in his head stopped. The memories came back. In this episode, Lance Wallnau sits down with Bobbi V to unpack what happened, and why over 350,000 people have now had their own stories to tell. What is Level 10 Matrix, and why are so many people saying it changed their life? Bobbi V and Lance explore the science, the scripture, and the testimonies — including what people are reporting after spike protein exposure, why the body's own regenerative intelligence gets suppressed over time, and why the real issue isn't just inflammation — it's what happens when your body stops doing what it was designed to do. In this episode: * A real testimony: black mold, memory loss, speech and motor issues, and what happened next * Why Level 10 Matrix "doesn't need a diagnosis" * 350,000+ therapies and a zero-harm track record * The Hebrew meaning of "Matrix" and the Psalm 139 connection

"Bitcoin is a rights-protection entity." Tomer Strolight returns for his ninth visit — and reads four of his own essays start to finish, with conversation in between: Bitcoin Is More, Living With AI, AI Built to Survive, and This Is Not the End. We discuss why Bitcoin isn't a price but a superstate no government on earth can reach — even as Iran floats a Bitcoin toll in the middle of a war — why self-custody is the whole point, and how inflation's slow squeeze is finally being felt by everyone. Then it turns: three short stories about living with AI, and what we surrender when we let a machine do our thinking for us. No host intro, no warm-up. We open cold, on Tomer's voice.

Dear Friends, What if health isn't just biochemical, but energetic, informational, and deeply connected to our relationship with light, water, movement, and even our thoughts?"The body isn't broken. It's sending messages. It's out of coherence. And there are so many roads back to coherence, but some of the most beautiful roads are so simple."  - Dr. Catherine ClintonIn this episode of Gateways to Awakening, I sit down with Dr. Catherine Clinton, naturopathic physician, educator, and author of Optimize, to explore the emerging field of quantum biology and what it reveals about healing, coherence, and human potential. Together they unpack how light influences our mitochondria, why water may function like a biological battery, how fascia acts as a body-wide communication network, and why emotions such as gratitude, awe, and presence can have measurable effects on our physiology. Dr. Clinton shares her personal journey from illness to healing, the daily practices that help her cultivate coherence, and why some of the most powerful health interventions are also the simplest.In this conversation, you'll discover:• What quantum biology is, and why it's changing how we understand health• The science of heart coherence and its impact on the body• How sunlight, infrared energy, and circadian rhythms influence vitality• The surprising relationship between fascia, hydration, and emotional well-being• Why movement is a form of hydration• The role of structured and energized water in human health• How thoughts, emotions, and language shape our biology• Simple practices to restore coherence and reconnect with your body's innate intelligence​​​Tune into Gateways to Awakening for more conversations with leading thinkers, scientists, mystics, entrepreneurs, and consciousness pioneers exploring the future of human potential. If this episode resonates with you, you may also enjoy Yasmeen's work through the Inner Knowing School, where she teaches intuition, energetic mastery, multidimensional awareness, and nervous system regulation through private immersions and executive cohorts.You can also explore her latest book, A Glitch in the Matrix: 10 Energy Codes to Become the Main Character of Your Life, available on Audible, Kindle, and in print. The book explores intuition, consciousness, timelines, emotional regulation, and how to manage your energy instead of your time.

Skyy Royal is back on If This Doesn't Work… and somehow this episode starts with grief, turns into a conversation about spiritual massage, and ends up somewhere between the Matrix, Bigfoot, aliens, meat being dead bodies, and whether the world is a “dimensional threshold.”Skyy talks about losing his dog Fluffy, how he sees grief differently now, the coma experience that made him feel like he saw the framework of reality, and how massage became more than just bodywork for him. He gets into emotional release, men crying on the massage table, why so many men never experience safe touch, and why he thinks men need other men more than they realize.Then, naturally, the conversation turns into vegetarianism, human flesh theories, Bigfoot, aliens, digital ID, social control, Trump, Israel, and the one hidden truth Skyy wishes everyone knew.This one needs a part two.Follow Skyy Royal:BandCamp: siroyal.bandcamp.comSoundcloud: soundcloud.com/kinqsmoothYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UCR8Cs9H11iY1wWCO_ll81YQ Facebook: facebook.com/SirCieloSmoothInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/skyyroyal/Website: https://beacons.ai/skyyroyalFollow the Podcast:

(0:00) Intro to this episode (2:52) About the podcast sponsor: The American College of Governance Counsel (3:39) Start of interview (4:18) Keith Giarman's origin story. About DHR Global (9:33) Tony Abate's origin story. Current boards: Wolfspeed, GTT Communications, Mitel, and Tacora Resources. (23:52) Turnaround Board Playbook. Three phases: 1) Fix the balance sheet; 2) Turnaround strategy, and time to turn to the income statement; and 3) Exit the business. (28:50) Private Equity Board Structure. It is all contextual. (33:40) Compensation in PE boards. (31:15) What Makes Boards Effective, from Tony based on his chairmanship experience. Execution vs process. *Execution: 1) Skill Set Distribution ("Three is too few, five too many."), 2) Relevance of that skill set distribution to the situation at hand, and 3) Willingness to engage with the management team between board meetings ("the most important" goes to board culture). (38:34) Building the Board Agenda, from Tony: Tight agenda in three buckets: 1) Decisions needed now, 2) input without a decision, and 3) FYI. Most boards get stuck on FYI and never reach the real decisions. Then 40 to 50% of the deck should be standardized financial and operational KPIs (flag only what's changing), one rotating deep dive, and executive sessions with and without the CEO. (42:53) LLCs and Governance Dynamics in PE. (45:52) AI and Board Talent Demand. "Matrix management" (50:36) Underestimated Governance Risks. From Keith: for board members: "Are they aligned? Are they courageous? And are they adaptive?" From Tony: "The board should talk about the what, not the how." Difference between supervising and execution. Caveat: some PE firms are very prescriptive. (56:23) Founder-Led or Board-Led companies. (1:00:16) What are the 1-3 books that have greatly influenced your life:  Tony:  Titan by Ron Chernow (1998) Theodore Rex by Edmund Morris (volume 2 of the trilogy) (2001) The Demon of Unrest by Erik Larson (2004) Keith: Mornings on Horseback, by David McCullough (1981) The Outsiders, by William N. Thorndike Jr. (2012) The Evolving Self, by Robert Kegan (1982)  (1:05:00) Who were their mentors, and what they learned from them. (1:09:07) Quotes they think of often or live their life by. Tony: The Man in the Ring by Teddy Roosevelt. Rudyard Kipling poem If. Keith: "Everybody has a plan until they get hit in the face" (1:11:17) An unusual habit or an absurd thing that they love. (1:12:21) The living person they most admire. Keith Giarman is a Managing Partner of the Private Equity Practice at DHR Global, and Tony Abate is an experienced board chair, director, investor, and operating executive.

Ravenloft is supposed to be full of gothic horror, tragic villains, and creeping dread. Instead, we somehow spent twenty minutes imagining a Midwestern Strahd saying You betcha before drinking your blood, arguing about wet burritos, and debating whether North Dakota counts as a real place. By the time we actually opened the book, the greatest horror wasn't the Dark Powers. It was realizing that someone somewhere willingly ordered a hot wet beef sandwich. Sponsor Spotlight: Mithos This episode is sponsored by Mithos, a modular, system-agnostic digital toolkit designed to make life easier for Game Masters. With customizable layouts, built-in player views, fog of war support, encounter tools, and an active community sharing content, Mithos helps keep your game running smoothly without juggling a dozen browser tabs.

Best of all, there are no subscriptions and no internet connection required. Learn more at rpgbot.net/mithos. Show Notes We finally returned to Ravenloft with The Horrors Within and dug into the new player options from Wizards of the Coast. Along the way we examined the subclasses, talked about what survived from the Unearthed Arcana playtest, and debated whether some of the changes actually improved the designs or simply made them safer. The Reanimator Artificer immediately caught our attention with its wonderfully creepy flavor. We loved the concept of Frankensteining together an undead companion and modifying it over time, even if the final numbers often felt disappointingly conservative. The subclass oozes atmosphere, but several features left us wishing Wizards had trusted the design enough to let it hit a little harder. The College of Spirits Bard received some welcome improvements from the playtest version. Moving the random spirit effects away from mandatory immediate use made the subclass far more practical, and controlled channeling solved many of the frustrations we had previously identified. This version finally delivers on the fantasy of consulting strange entities from beyond without constantly fighting against the mechanics. We also revisited the Grave Domain Cleric and looked at the redesigned Path to the Grave. While the old version was undeniably flashier, the new implementation is much easier to use in any party composition. It may not create those huge cinematic damage spikes anymore, but it provides reliable support every time it comes online. As always, our review quickly spiraled into side discussions involving Call of Cthulhu, sturgeon festivals, Midwestern rivalries, taxes, and the eternal mystery of why so many fantasy character illustrations are suspiciously attractive. That's just another day at the RPGBOT.Podcast. Key Takeaways Ravenloft: The Horrors Within delivers strong gothic flavor and some excellent artwork. The Reanimator Artificer has fantastic thematic design but several mechanics feel overly cautious. Lightning interactions with the undead companion create some amusing and creative tactics. College of Spirits Bard benefited significantly from feedback and is much easier to play effectively. Controlled Channeling fixes many of the frustrations from the Unearthed Arcana version. Grave Domain Cleric lost some of its explosive potential but gained consistency. The revised Path to the Grave works better across a wider variety of party compositions. Several subclasses showcase great ideas that feel slightly undertuned. Flavor and atmosphere are consistently strong throughout the book. No matter how serious the subject matter becomes, the conversation will eventually derail into food arguments, regional insults, or bizarre fantasy accents. Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

Si has estado atento a los últimos episodios del podcast, ya te habrás dado cuenta de que estoy completamente enfocado en exprimir la inteligencia artificial local y el software libre. En concreto, hay dos herramientas que se han convertido en mis compañeras inseparables de fatigas en el día a día: OpenCode, que me ayuda a programar de una forma increíble, y Hermes Agent, un asistente digital del que hoy te lo quiero contar absolutamente todo.El dilema de la instalación: ¿Docker o en tu propia máquina?Como ya me conoces, sabes bien lo mucho que me gusta a mí levantar "al rico contenedor" y solucionar cualquier despliegue con Docker. Sin embargo, en mis pruebas con Hermes Agent he preferido dar un paso atrás y realizar una instalación directa sobre el sistema operativo, utilizando un entorno virtual de Python. El peligro de la ventana de contexto y la sangría de tokensAquí está uno de los grandes secretos que casi nadie te explica al principio. Cuando ejecutas el asistente de configuración inicial de Hermes Agent, te entran ganas de activar absolutamente todas las características que te ofrece: herramientas de visión, utilidades del sistema, navegación web, traducción... ¡todo suena fantástico! Pero hay una trampa invisible en la que es muy fácil caer. El superpoder de los perfiles aislados (Profiles)La solución definitiva a este problema de consumo y rendimiento tiene un nombre: perfiles. Hermes Agent te permite crear tantos perfiles aislados como consideres oportuno. Modelando el Alma y la Memoria de tu AgenteEn el podcast te detallo cómo dar personalidad a tu agente a través del archivo de alma. A mi asistente personal, que he bautizado como Chloe, le he configurado un tono sarcástico, irónico y burlón. Me encanta interactuar con ella de esta manera porque rompe completamente con la clásica respuesta robótica y aburrida de otras inteligencias artificiales comerciales; se siente como hablar con un colega de verdad. Eso sí, te doy pautas para redactar este archivo con cuidado, ya que un "alma" demasiado extensa también te comerá espacio de contexto útil de forma innecesaria.Ampliando fronteras: MCP, Telegram y automatizaciones automáticasPor último, abordamos el fantástico protocolo MCP (Model Context Protocol), que nos permite dotar de "manos y ojos" a nuestro agente. Y para rematar la jugada, la integración con Telegram y Matrix. Es una auténtica delicia poder ir caminando, mandarle un audio desde el móvil a mi bot de Telegram, que este use Whisper en local para transcribir mi voz, procese lo que le pido y me conteste con otro audio sintetizado a la velocidad que yo le he configurado de antemano. Todo ello combinado con tareas programadas (Cron) y un tablero de Kanban interno con el que el propio agente se organiza y ejecuta flujos de trabajo de forma completamente autónoma.Te invito a que te prepares un buen café, te pongas los auriculares y disfrutes de este viaje de configuración avanzada de 0 a 100.CAPÍTULOS DEL AUDIO:00:00:00 Introducción: Mi día a día con OpenCode y Hermes Agent00:01:26 El problema de los tutoriales básicos e instalación00:03:00 Configuración inicial y la sangría de tokens00:04:47 Archivos clave y estructura interna de Hermes00:05:56 Creando "Skills" personalizadas y configurando API Keys00:08:15 Perfiles aislados (Profiles): Qué son y por qué los necesitas00:11:00 Cómo clonar y gestionar tus perfiles sin romper nada00:13:35 soul.md: Diseñando el "Alma" y el tono de tu asistente00:15:28 memory.md: El gran desafío de la memoria y el RAG en Rust00:17:38 Expandiendo capacidades con MCP y conversión de voz00:20:47 Llevando tu agente a Telegram con Cron y Kanban integrado00:27:18 Reglas de oro para optimizar tu contexto y despedida

This week we listen to a matrix made by Ryan Newton, of Led Zeppelin in Landover, MD on May 28, 1977. The Landover run is the Jan Brady of runs on this tour, overshadowed by LA and NYC, but it's a solid set of shows. I play Sick Again, Achilles Last Stand, and show closer Whole Lotta Love/Rock and Roll. A good time was had by all.

The Wachowskis walked into a studio with a copy of Ghost in the Shell and said "we want to do that, but for real." Four years later, The Matrix made a billion dollars. Ghost in the Shell made nothing on release. Richard Lewis, Thorin, and MonteCristo break down why the 80-minute anime the Wachowskis ripped off is deeper, smarter, and more relevant in the age of AI than the franchise it spawned.

Warmest of welcomes everybody! In this episode, Zac is holding down the fort as Max is on holiday so he has brought in two heavy-hitting guests in Kevin and Colin. They start the show with a look at the busy week that was, with a lot about the many announcements that happened. Platinum shoutouts highlight some of the fine work coming out of the discord. In Cactuar vs. Tonberry, new challenges are issued to our hosts, with Max finding a fun way of making an appearance. What we have been playing start with Kevin as he goes through an absolute plethora of games, including In Sound Mind and Subnautica Below Zero. He and Colin share their thoughts on the new Mixtape before Colin has some other heavy hitters to talk through. Zac takes the segment home with a surprising amount of work, including 3 platinums. The main topic consists of a deep dive into the world of speedrunning. They cover what speedrunning means to them, their history with it and the many shows that bring the hobby to the masses.

So Sarah broke her leg pretty badly a few weeks ago so we kick this episode off with our first hand experiences with the Quebec healthcare system. You know, the Quebec healthcare system that Scott works for? I guess we're kind of experts on the subject. You heard it here first, this podcast is a medical drama now. Against my better judgement I watched about 10 minutes of UFC Freedom 250 (it was in between periods of Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final). It was… something else. From some jackass yelling “Michelle Obama is a man” to chants of “Fuck Him Up!” ringing out across the White House lawn it was pure Idiocracy. Meanwhile, Danhausen is an actual dark magician and the Knicks win the big NBA award trophy thanks to his dark powers. If I asked you, what is the name of the NBA Championship trophy, what would you guess? I'm sure Scott knows the answer. I had to look it up. It's technically the Larry O'Brien Championship trophy. You heard it here first. Keith is almost done with Euphoria Season 3 and it's a heck of a left turn. It's honestly pretty good, but has almost nothing to do with the first two seasons. It's kind of like in Season 8 of Archer when they're suddenly in 1947 Los Angeles. It's got the same characters but it also really has very little to do with everything that came before. Over on Garbage Time Jon makes the argument that The Matrix should probably be at the very top of The List and he might be right. It (along with Alien) could definitely jump a few spots. We finish things off talking about whether or not Ridley Scott is a fraud and close off with Scott's recent viewing of The Thing as a family affair. If you would like to show your support and head over to Patreon and subscribe at the 9ES Deluxe tier to listen to this and all past episodes of Garbage Time that would be appreciated.

Warlocks are the only class where the phrase "I signed a terrible contract and somehow came out ahead" counts as a character concept. By level 20, your patron has become equal parts sugar daddy, eldritch therapist, and extended warranty scammer. Somewhere between your third Eldritch Invocation and your fourth existential crisis, you stop asking whether the power is worth the cost and start asking if your soul came with roadside assistance. Show Notes In the second half of the Warlock deep dive, we continue advancing our example characters from level 5 all the way to level 20, exploring how the class evolves from a reliable blaster into one of the most customizable spellcasters in 2014 D&D 5e. Along the way we discuss new spell options, increasingly specialized Eldritch Invocations, Pact Boon upgrades, and the always-interesting challenge of squeezing maximum value out of a very limited number of spell slots. As the builds mature, we compare different approaches to survivability, damage output, and utility. The conversation highlights how Warlocks reward careful planning while still leaving plenty of room for weird and thematic choices. Whether you're building a Hexblade, Fiend, or something stranger, the class offers countless ways to personalize your character. Naturally, no discussion of Warlocks would be complete without jokes about selling your soul, suspicious contracts, and patrons who definitely read the fine print that you ignored. Between optimization advice and increasingly ridiculous examples, we discover that eldritch power and bad life decisions make an excellent combination. Key Takeaways Level 5 is a major power spike thanks to 3rd-level spells and additional Eldritch Invocation options. Invocations continue to define a Warlock's identity throughout higher levels. Pact Boons and invocation choices can dramatically change how two Warlocks of the same subclass play. Short rests remain essential because Pact Magic depends heavily on recovering spell slots frequently. Gift of the Ever-Living Ones and other defensive options can greatly improve survivability. Blade-focused builds use options like Thirsting Blade to keep pace with martial classes. Mystic Arcanum provides access to powerful high-level spells without changing the core Pact Magic system. Warlocks excel when players specialize rather than trying to do everything at once. The class rewards planning and understanding how individual features interact. Flavor and mechanics blend exceptionally well, making Warlocks one of the most thematic classes in 5e. Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

The Plane of Water episode started exactly how you'd expect an episode about endless oceans to start: with stock prices, GTA 6 rumors, GameStop drama, and Randall suggesting you could solve inflation by storing barrels of oil in your apartment. Eventually everyone remembered there was supposed to be a podcast, which unfortunately meant confronting Ash's greatest weakness: deep water. What followed was less a lore episode and more a two-hour intervention where Tyler discovered underwater spiders exist, Randall weaponized ocean facts, and Ash spent the entire recording questioning every life choice that led him to this point. Somewhere beneath all the existential dread, there was also a Plane of Water. Show Notes This week we dove into one of the most intimidating locations in fantasy gaming: the Plane of Water. Despite containing an infinite amount of something every living creature needs, none of us sounded particularly excited to visit. We explored how the Plane of Water differs between Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder, from endless oceans and violent storms to strange underwater civilizations and terrifying megafauna. Along the way, we examined water genies, krakens, mysterious cities, giant jellyfish stretching across entire planes, and even an anglerfish so enormous that someone thought building a city on its back was a good idea. Pathfinder's version introduced even stranger concepts, including underwater suns, spheres filled with mysterious civilizations, and the return of elemental forces that literally control the tides. As expected, Ash spent much of the episode reliving childhood trauma and explaining why the ocean is secretly the most horrifying place imaginable. Tyler accidentally made things worse by introducing underwater spiders, while Randall enthusiastically contributed increasingly disturbing facts about deep-sea pressure, giant creatures, and dream-fueled tsunami nightmares. By the end, we learned that the Plane of Water contains incredible adventure opportunities, beautiful locations, and fascinating lore. We also learned that Ash would still rather spend a weekend in Hell. Based on the episode transcript Key Takeaways The Plane of Water in D&D is an endless ocean punctuated by occasional islands, violent storms, and regions ranging from sunlit seas to terrifying depths. Pathfinder's Plane of Water differs significantly, featuring a spherical structure, strange environmental effects, and unusual landmarks. Water genies and merfolk civilizations provide opportunities for diplomacy and exploration rather than constant combat. Krakens, brine dragons, and other aquatic monsters make the plane dangerous, but many creatures are simply focused on surviving in their own environment. Several bizarre megafauna inhabit Pathfinder's version of the plane, including continent-sized jellyfish and city-carrying anglerfish. Travel to the plane is possible through spells, portals, storms, and occasionally terrible luck. The Plane of Water offers strong inspiration for survival adventures, nautical campaigns, and cosmic horror themes. Despite its beauty and rich lore, at least one member of the cast would prefer literally any other destination. Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

Rob St. Mary and Rob Spencer join Mike to dig into Proyas's tale of John Murdoch (Rufus Sewell), who wakes in a cheap hotel room with no memory, a dead body nearby, and a city that refuses to add up. Detective Bumstead (William Hurt) closes in while the pale, bald Strangers rearrange reality every time the clocks stop — building a world that is simultaneously a locked-room mystery, a Philip K. Dick nightmare, a Kafka story with a superhero ending, and a filmmaker's self-portrait: the Strangers as producers, Dr. Schreber (Kiefer Sutherland) as the compromised writer, and Murdoch as the protagonist who tears through the painted backdrop and seizes the apparatus.The conversation covers the film's screenplay stages and two finished cuts, the studio-mandated voice-over that Proyas spent a decade trying to undo, and Roger Ebert's role as the mechanism of the film's survival. Mike and the Robs also place Dark City within the remarkable 1998–99 cluster of simulated-world films — The Truman Show, The Matrix, eXistenZ, The Thirteenth Floor — and examine what it means that Murdoch's triumphant ending leaves the city still a construct, still running on hidden machinery, with only the god changed.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth 

A researcher, Edtech expert, and PhD candidate studying the intersection of AI, learning, and human experience, Kris brings a rare combination of academic rigor and real-world application to the question every principal is quietly asking: is all this technology actually helping? His work with Play Piper puts him at the front lines of how kids interact with screens — and what happens when that interaction goes wrong. Kris has been studying and speaking about screen usage in learning environments since 2013, long before most districts had a policy on the subject. AI policy still doesn't exist in most school districts in 2026. Meta and YouTube just lost a major court case over intentionally building products harmful to kids. And the principals who bought Edtech tools during COVID are still living with implementations they never had time to design properly. Kris returns to the RuckusCast to name the problem clearly: technology in schools is being treated as the experience instead of a tool within the experience — and that distinction is costing students more than anyone wants to admit.

Our hosts return to the Podtower to review the third and final instalment of Secret Origins. Alex and Will share their thoughts on the three-part story as a whole and come away feeling a little underwhelmed. They also spotlight the episode's musical score, noting its uncanny resemblance to Pirates of the Caribbean and wondering whether Hans Zimmer may have stolen it from this show. Another film comparison that Alex notices is from The Matrix, in both the music and the aliens' plan to block out the sun.Our hosts also discover that Martian Manhunter might be into BDSM (even if he doesn't know what the acronym stands for), the aliens tunnel of deadly fart gas, and Batman builds a massive space station for the Justice League, only to then remain a temporary member of the team. Also, tip us or find us on social media here:Tip Jar: https://buymeacoffee.com/batmantaspod Outbreaks Issue 4 Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/speechcomics/outbreaks-1-4-an-ongoing-zombie-anthology-seriesMobster Mash 1-2 Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/speechcomics/mobster-mash-1-2-classic-movie-monsters-as-mobsters Join Our Discord - https://discord.com/invite/bQF76V3nUs TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - https://www.tiktok.com/@batmantaspod?_t=8zn1yhsgnfz&_r=1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow us on YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - https://www.youtube.com/@batmantaspod Follow the Pod on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - https://www.instagram.com/batmantaspod/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow the Pod on Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - https://www.facebook.com/BatmanTASPod Follow the Pod on Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - https://twitter.com/batmantaspod1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Subscribe to Will's Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - https://www.patreon.com/willrobson Speech Comics Website⁠ - https://www.speechcomics.com/ Will's WhatNot Page⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - https://www.whatnot.com/user/speechcomics

This week the Bad Dads take on Akira, Katsuhiro Otomo's 1988 anime classic: part cyberpunk biker movie, part psychic apocalypse, part body-horror nightmare, and still one of the most influential animated films ever made.What We CoveredThe motorcycle connection: Sidey picked Akira partly off the back of motorcycle week, with the famous “Akira slide” still instantly recognisable decades later.Neo-Tokyo and the set-up: The Dads discuss the opening destruction of Tokyo, the rebuilt dystopian city, biker gangs, riots, unemployment, militarised politics and general “not a happy place” energy.Kaneda, Tetsuo and the Capsules: Kaneda's iconic red bike, Tetsuo's resentment, the gang hierarchy, and the way their childhood friendship feeds the film's final emotional punch.The psychic test subjects: Takashi, the other child-like espers, the hospital experiments, telekinesis, hallucinations, and the film's blend of sci-fi plot with surreal nightmare imagery.Tetsuo's transformation: From headaches and glass-of-water Force powers to satellite lasers, a metal arm, body horror, and a final monstrous collapse into flesh, pain and chaos.Akira himself: The reveal that Akira is not really “the guy on the bike”, but a dissected psychic force preserved in jars under the Olympic Stadium.The animation: Reegs praises the film's restless visual movement; Dan says the craft makes you forget any resistance to animation; Sidey calls the full-mutant Tetsuo sequence incredible.Influence and legacy: The gang spot echoes and connections to The Matrix, Drive, Watchmen, 2001, Clockwork Orange, The Warriors, Godzilla destruction, and later anime/body-horror culture.Subtitles vs dubbing: Dan finds an English version in the “depths of the internet”, while others stick with Japanese and subtitles.Cris watch status: Cris did not get to the film because he could not find it properly and refused to watch it on a phone — fair, frankly.Key Quotes / Moments“There's very little ball content in Akira.”“The Akira slide… one of the most famous shots in animation.”“It's like the Force, but way more destructive.”“I'm in the revolution, mate. I'm busy.”“SOL Campbell” as the orbital laser gag. Obviously.“It wasn't quite Dogtanian.”VerdictA strong recommend from the Dads. Sidey calls it a great gateway into anime, Dan enjoys it more than expected and finds the animation absorbing, and Reegs loves the film's kinetic craft and cultural footprint. Cris remains technically unconverted, but tempted.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

On the Science pod, we've been covering a lot of the ground on how AI is revolutionizing STEM, but one of our favorite off the record topics since our launch is which field is harder to accelerate: math, bio, or physics? Today we're back in Materials Science land with Radical — Unlike biological molecules that can be represented (and predicted!) by token strings, the success of materials involve many more macro complex variables like supply chains, microstructures, and manufacturing processes. If you recall the LK99 drama of 2023, while the basic ingredients were known, part of the confusion came from the lack of disclosure around manufacturing, and therefore defeated reproducibility. There is probably no "one-shot" model capable of designing a material that works perfectly at scale.How Radical is accelerating materials discovery >10x the pace of DARPA/GE MACHJoseph Krause is a materials scientist through and through. And after spending his career watching industries stall out waiting for better materials, he founded Radical AI to do something about it.We recently sat down with Joseph to talk about Radical AI, materials discovery, self-driving labs, and the future of AI science. Joseph did not sugar coat anything: accelerating the materials discovery pipeline is a hard problem. But it's one that he strongly believes we need to invest in, for the future of consumer products, aerospace, computing, and defense, and get them into every day use:“We count it as a discovery when you pick up your phone and there's a new material sitting inside of it.”How does Joseph plan on accelerating the rate of discovery? To understand this, it's important to understand why this is such a hard problem in the first place. The first thing to keep in mind is that the material that is manufactured is far more than a chemical formula going into it. The process of mixing, annealing, growing, or generating the final material can result in wildly different outcomes. The entire materials discovery process, both from early discovery to large scale manufacturing, needs to be understood and characterized.The Self-Driving LabThis philosophy has grown into a key insight at Radical AI: The construction of the self-driving lab. This lab is one that is not just automated, but in fact uses an “AI scientist” that combines scientific knowledge, computational techniques, and human intuition to generate and test hypotheses in an automated lab. Creating an AI scientist was key to making Radical's self-driving labs work, since Joseph argues that no single AI model can one-shot materials.“In materials, the ground truth is the material itself. You have to be able to test it and characterize it.”Joseph talked at length about the self-driving labs at Radical. Joseph argues that experimental data is the true “moat” in this industry. An SDL functions as a closed-loop system where an AI scientist generates hypotheses, and automated robotics synthesize and characterize materials, running research campaigns in parallel rather than serially. The successes here were both on the automation side and on the science side. Radical has managed to scale their alloy discovery pipeline up to producing and characterizing 1200 alloys in six months — this nearly 10x speedup over the DARPA/GE MACH program that aimed to create 500 new alloys in a year. Joseph claims they can scale this up even more and estimates they can produce a hundred new alloys tested and characterized in a day. A truly new paradigm in high-throughput alloy experimentation.On the science side, their AI scientist proposed and tested 300 new materials, ten of which were found to have novel state-of-the-art properties that are already being further developed for commercial applications. The robustness of this first materials campaign reinforces Joseph's claim that the moat is the lab and data.“It's moved into elemental families or alloy families no one has ever published on before.”Interestingly, Radical's AI scientist has made some novel discoveries, expanding into elements that just were not explored prior. This is fascinating from a scientific perspective, but it's also important for helping reduce supply chain bottlenecks for vital industries!Joseph spent a lot of time in D.C. before founding Radical, and he's clear-eyed about the competitive threat. China's centralized model lets it stand up manufacturing hubs and immediately scale new materials from lab to production. We can't replicate that, and Joseph is very clear we shouldn't try. But we do need an answer. For Joseph, that means transforming the scientific workforce, investing in self-driving lab infrastructure at the national lab level, and leaning hard into public-private partnerships.“Now imagine every scientist in the United States doing 10 times the research output. That's fundamental. That just changes the trajectory of discovery.”Before we close, we'd like to give a shout out to Joseph and Radical for publishing and open sourcing much of their internal tooling pipeline. This includes:* TorchSim (preprint, blog): an open-source PyTorch-based MD simulation framework, which has been spun off into its own non-profit.* MATRIX/MATRIX-PT (preprint, blog): An open-source dataset for benchmarking autonomous self-driving labs (MATRIX), along with with an open source model based upon this dataset (MATRIX-PT). We could talk about this extensively, but a fun data point is that improving reasoning in the area of materials also improved reasoning for biological systems! This is a truly unexpected result.Big shout-out to the Radical team for sharing their work!Materials discovery has been stuck on a 20–30 year timeline for generations. Joseph thinks that's about to change, and Radical AI is putting that thesis to the test in the lab, one sample at a time.We had a great time talking with Joseph. We hope you give it a listen!Timestamps* 0:00 Introduction to the challenges of AI in material science* 0:52 Welcome and introduction to Joseph Krause and Radical AI* 1:38 Why Radical AI is different: The focus on experimental data and Self-Driving Labs (SDLs)* 6:19 The process: Candidate generation, synthesis, and characterization* 11:05 The application of exotic alloys in extreme environments (aerospace and defense)* 13:20 Barriers to entry: The slow process of qualification and manufacturing* 16:06 Supply chain constraints in material science* 19:24 Human-in-the-loop: Training the AI using scientific intuition* 20:35 The engineering challenges of automating a laboratory* 23:17 Defining the “Self-Driving Lab”: Research campaigns vs. just automation* 24:39 Mechanical challenges: Handling high-temperature samples* 27:41 Future scaling plans and the “Vertical Integration” strategy* 30:08 Validation timelines for high-tech industries (semiconductors, aerospace)* 31:47 The active learning loop and handling “negative results”* 35:32 AI exploring elemental families beyond human bias* 39:13 Throughput targets and the difference between AI and human exploration* 43:52 Why the dataset size is less critical than the quality of experimental feedback* 46:20 Addressing the lack of an “AlphaFold” for materials* 53:49 War stories from the lab: Building the infrastructure* 58:12 The shift in industry sentiment toward SDLs and tool interfaces* 1:01:14 Geopolitical considerations and the race in material science innovation* 1:06:12 Calls to action for ML and AI engineers: Rethinking the scientific stack* 1:09:53 The Matrix model and using VLM for scientific knowledge extraction* 1:13:10 Why Radical AI is open-sourcing their work This is a public episode.

In Part 6 of Exposing the Matrix, we examine what may be the most powerful control system ever created: education. From the creation of the U.S. Office of Education in 1871 to the influence of Rockefeller-funded institutions, we trace the transformation of American schools from locally rooted, community-centered education to a highly standardized system increasingly shaped by bureaucracies, universities, and ideological movements. We explore revisionist history, declining literacy, the erosion of critical thinking, behavioral conditioning, university radicalization, psychological labeling, dependency on institutions, the removal of biblical foundations, and the rise of social engineering. Most importantly, we examine what Scripture says about guarding the mind and why Colossians 2:8 remains one of the most relevant warnings for our time. If the battle for the future is ultimately a battle for the minds of children, then this conversation is one every parent, pastor, teacher, and believer needs to hear.Email: thefacthunter@mail.comFoundations In Faith: https://www.foundationsinfaith.netMadalyn Murray O'Hair: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madalyn_Murray_O%27Hair

Back when The Matrix (1999) first came out, not everyone understood the movie's true message. In the years since, however, the Wachowskis sisters have clarified the trans allegory at the heart of their story, and now we're watching with fresh eyes. On our latest episode, we're keeping the Trans Pride party going as we veer just slightly out of our usual horror space and into the overlap with scifi action thrillers. Join us as we talk faith, fate, Keanu, and countless CLEAR references on a new Spooky Tuesday. This month, we're donating all of our proceeds to non-profit organizations dedicated to helping and protecting the trans community. You can help by participating in our Instagram fundraiser benefiting Transgender Law Center, joining our Patreon, or streaming both old and new episodes through the end of June.

Doctors said it was over. The body had other plans. What happens when people who've run out of conventional options try regenerative stem cell therapy — and their bodies start rebuilding from the inside out? Lance Wallnau sits down with Bobbi V, to talk about one of the most hopeful things happening in health right now. Simple, safe, and backed by 840 documented recovery stories — this conversation will change how you think about what healing is actually possible. In this episode: * Why Level 10 Matrix works differently than anything you've heard * Real recovery stories — pain, brain fog, nerve damage, and more * How stem cells find the root of the problem, not just the symptoms * Using this as prevention — before you ever need it as a rescue * What 840 documented cases reveal about the body's ability to regenerate If you or someone you love has been told there are no more options, watch this first.

President Trump announces on his 80th birthday - Flag Day - that the US has signed a peace deal with Iran and that the Strait of Hormuz is open for business. Crude oil prices plummet. Spencer Pratt drops the mother of all ads and announces he has video evidence that will make Karen Bass and/or Nithya Raman disqualifiable candidates for LA mayor. This is WAR, he says. The billionaires on the All In Podcast dig into LA's sketchy election results and make a stunning admission: We are living in a Matrix - and voting is really just purposeful theatre.
