this week's program was originally meant to be a two-hour analysis of the 2019 motion picture “Yesterday” in which a young musician is hit by a bus and awakes in an alternate reality where Anal Cunt never existed. It's a pretty sappy affair with an all-too-obvious idea and as you've already guessed, our protagonist achieves vast fame performing Seth Putnam's compositions as if they were his own. Said film also features singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran playing himself (very brave stretch) and it seems for that reason station management has forced me to re-record the entire episode. I don't really keep up with social media but I've been told Sheeran is embroiled in a controversy of some sort at the moment which is a shame. He always struck me as the type who'd find a roundabout way of honoring Anal Cunt but it has also been explained (carefully) to me this movie is not a documentary. I mean, fuck.
Who will you be this year? No matter your age, it's likely that your body remembers the school calendar, and with the blooming aisles of binders and pencils and backpacks, it's easy to feel like a nervous, hopeful kid waiting for that first day back in class. For this episode, Antiquated Education Correspondent Gabe Henry tells Sarah about the history of the shopping season known as Back to School, from the Depression-era department store promotions and the original mascots, to the development of trendy clothes, lunch boxes, and notebooks, and into the memorable commercials and new gadgets of the 1980s and 90s. Together they discuss the commercialization of ritual and what the promises of Back to School shopping taught us about the reinvention of the self. Digressions include the Nickelodeon blimp, Fred Meyer Jewelers, and the Ann Getty baby craze.

Aaron McIntire lays out why he thinks recent doom laden warnings from AI researchers at Anthropic and OpenAI, including a viral resignation post from ex-employee Jacob Coxon, may be less about pure safety concerns and more about pushing regulatory capture against open source competitors. He walks through the timeline, from Coxon's post to statements from researchers at both companies, and argues the real motive is protecting these companies' bottom line ahead of potential IPOs by outlawing local AI models. Aaron connects this to his broader theory that much of the public backlash against data centers and AI traces back to foreign propaganda. He closes with a viral clip of a YouTuber getting the AI model GPT-6 to insist, incorrectly, that the word seventeen has four E's, using it as a lighthearted counterpoint to claims that AI is on the verge of ending humanity.
Send a MessageIn this episode we dissect the anatomy of the magical rite, tracing the recurring structures hidden beneath thousands of years of magical practice. Across cultures and historical periods, magic displays an extraordinary diversity of forms—but beneath that diversity are persistent patterns.From ancient Egyptian magic and the Greek Magical Papyri to Babylonian witchcraft, Tibetan ritual, European folk magic, Lithuanian and Finnish charms, Vedic ritual and shamanism, we explore the conditions, materials, actions, incantations and spirits that make up the architecture of the spell.Why are magical rites performed at particular places and times? Why must materials be purified, combined, burned, buried or bound? How do sympathetic correspondences connect objects, people and supernatural forces? Why do spells invoke mythic events and divine names—and why do magical traditions around the world place such extraordinary importance on strange sounds, secret languages and seemingly meaningless words?Drawing on anthropology, history of religions, archaeology and surviving magical texts, this episode examines magic not simply as a collection of superstitions, but as a complex ritual technology: an attempt to construct a controlled environment in which places, objects, actions, words and spiritual beings are coordinated toward a particular end.And beneath all that formalism lies a paradox. Magical procedures are meticulously preserved, yet constantly adapted and reinvented. If the forms can change while their functions remain, perhaps the bewildering diversity of magical practice points toward something deeper: a hidden architecture beneath the art itself.Correction: 10:49A quotation concerning time as a function of “religious sympathetic relations” is mistakenly attributed to Fritz Graf.

IWP Ep116 Unfiltered Festival 2026 Panel - Breaking the Champagne Spell: California's Great Sparkling Wine Experiment. With Jared Brandt - Donkey and Goat, Chris Cottrell - Under The Wire Wines, Michael Cruse - Ultramarine, Cruse Wine Co., Brad Kurtz - Gloria Ferrer. Harvest is extra early this year for many in California due to the unseasonably warm temperatures in January, February and March. For the podcast, it's always the most difficult time to meet up with winemakers. In previous years I've done things like the 8 part California Wine Association series. But this year we have recordings of the great panels from this years Unfiltered Festival. Panels have been a vital part of the festival and part of Andrew Sullivan's vision for the festival from the start. Today's episode is focussed on Sparkling Wine in California, I moderated this panel with the idea that California Sparkling Wine is really on a great run lately. The wines are being produced in a wide range of styles from Pet Nats showcasing minimal intervention and fresh styles to single vineyard vintage dated examples giving us a snapshot of a vineyard through the producers eyes year after year to extremely well done Non Vintage versions allowing us to see how blending and house styles can produce exceptionally complex wines. At the root of all these styles is a focus on high quality organic farming. Joining me for the panel are Jared Brandt of Donkey and Goat, Chris Cotrell of Under the Wire Wines, Michael Cruse from Ultramarine and Cruse Wine Co and Brad Kurtz Vineyard Director at Gloria Ferrer. This and the other panels will be posted on youtube - https://youtu.be/9sNWiAzISCA Follow the podcast at www.instagram.com/indiewinepodcast or email indiewinepodcast@gmail.com with questions, comments or feedback.

Bob ran the invoices for twenty-two years. Then he retired on a Friday, and by Tuesday nobody could open the spreadsheet.This week it's a solo episode: three essays from the Radical Competency lane of my Substack, All the Fits That's News, read back to back for the first time. On their own they're about a small business I ran for fourteen years, a guy named Bob and my first newsroom job on the obituary desk in 1991. Together they turn out to be the same story, told three ways: the operating instructions we write without noticing, and what keeps running after we've stopped paying attention or left the building for good.In this episode:You Teach People How to Treat You. How four years of answering client texts at midnight taught me more about human behavior than any business degree, and why the fortune-cookie version of that phrase does real damage.Après Nous, le Déluge (aka The Bus Factor). Madame de Pompadour, knowledge hoarding and the difference between being valuable and being a countdown clock.Spell the Name Right.

What if everything you were taught about how a virus is discovered and proven is flawed? Today I'm joined by Dr. Thomas Cowan, a family physician of 37 years who spent his career practicing conventional medicine before turning his attention to the foundational evidence behind virology, immunology, and disease itself. Dr. Tom walks us through how viruses like polio, measles, HIV, and SARS-CoV-2 have historically been "isolated" in lab settings and why he questions the reliability of PCR and antibody testing. He believes symptoms like fevers, rashes, and tumors are the body's own healing response rather than disease caused by an outside pathogen. We also get into his views on autoimmune disease, cholesterol, and blood pressure. If you're the kind of person who likes to question what you've been told and prefers to look at the primary research findings, this conversation will give you plenty to explore. "The things we call symptoms are not diseases. They are the body's attempt to heal." ~ Dr. Thomas Cowan In This Episode: - Why Dr. Tom questions the existence of viruses - How measles and SARS-CoV-2 were "isolated" - Measles diagnostic criteria and vaccine history - Views on COVID, HIV, gain-of-function, and antibody theory - What really causes "viral" diseases? - Validity of the PCR test methodology - Autoimmune disease reframed as poisoning or diet - Views on vaccine ingredients and dosing schedules - Cholesterol, blood pressure, and blocked arteries - Dr. Tom's views on genetic codons Products & Resources Mentioned: Bon Charge Red Light Face Mask: Get 15% off sitewide, plus free shipping and a 12-month warranty, with code WENDY at https://boncharge.com/ Heavy Metals Quiz: Take the quiz at https://heavymetalsquiz.com About Dr. Thomas Cowan: Dr. Thomas Cowan is an alternative medicine doctor, author, and speaker known for a holistic, common-sense approach to health.

In the first hour of the Chase & Big Joe Show, the guys shared their question of the day. How did Vince Young spell Jeff Fisher's name in his apology letter? Let us know in the comments. The guys alter discussed other teams in the NFL and their Super Bowl chances. Plus the NFL is doing away with the Pro Bowl game(s).
Last time on Impossible Magic, we discovered that the Magus can finally move, the Summoner can finally summon, and Pathfinder's three-action economy is apparently more of a polite recommendation. Now we're back for Part 2, where Paizo hands Ash an infinite supply of disposable corpses, gives Tyler a class built entirely around weaponized graffiti, drops roughly six hundred spells on his to-do list, and introduces magic so impossible that you're legally allowed to cast it exactly once. Welcome back. Somehow, things have gotten worse for the GM. Show Notes We survived Part 1, so naturally it's time to make things significantly more complicated. We start with the Necromancer, Ash's immediate new obsession and perhaps Pathfinder's most enthusiastic endorsement of reusable corpses. Necromancers summon disposable thralls, sacrifice them to power Grave Spells, choose between the martial Reaper and thrall-heavy Puppeteer Fatal Methods, and customize their undead aesthetic through Blood, Bone, Flesh, or Spirit Grim Fascinations. Blood immediately attracts Ash's attention because apparently the correct amount of bleeding is all of it. The class also gets Mastery of Life and Death, allowing it to play surprisingly flexible games with vitality and void damage. Between healing from dead thralls, creating seas of grasping limbs, exploding minions, summoning enormous undead monstrosities, and eventually dropping a living graveyard onto the battlefield, the Necromancer delivers exactly the sort of wholesome family entertainment we expected. Then we meet the Runesmith, Pathfinder's newest experiment in making someone at the table track even more things. Runesmiths etch persistent runes onto equipment, trace temporary runes onto creatures, modify them with diacritic runes, and invoke them for additional effects. The result is a flexible new magic system with tons of room for clever combinations, action compression, buffs, debuffs, and the inevitable player who arrives with a spreadsheet explaining why drawing twelve symbols on the barbarian causes reality to explode. Or, as Tyler puts it, weaponized graffiti. From there, we explore the new Wizard schools, including enchantment-adjacent magic, divination, dimensional manipulation, and what can only reasonably be described as Minecraft Wizard. Automatons also get new options, including more durability and, most importantly, laser eyes. Then we arrive at approximately six hundred new and updated spells, which Tyler receives with the calm enthusiasm of a man watching years disappear from his life. Standouts include Bone Shield, Murder of Crows, Bone Moth's Kiss, Heartbolt, Living Thunderbolt, and the deeply important Fishing Spot, which creates an extraplanar fishing hole because sometimes saving the world can wait until after you catch a Scholar Salmon. Finally, we reach the actual Impossible Spells. These aren't conventional character options so much as campaign-level magical plot devices. They can set enormous areas on fire, erase entire periods of history, leave permanent supernatural consequences, and can generally be cast only once by a character. So despite the book's title, Impossible Magic is apparently possible. Once. We wrap up with strange rituals, spell catalysts, armor and weapon runes, grimoires, spellhearts, staves, magic tattoos, and enough other magical equipment to keep optimizers occupied until Paizo releases another book and starts the process all over again. The final verdict is overwhelmingly positive. The Necromancer is flavorful and mechanically exciting, the Runesmith introduces a genuinely different approach to magic, the spells are unusually creative, and even the archetypes and magic items feel packed with ideas worth playing. Key Takeaways Necromancer is built around disposable thralls that can attack, block space, fuel Grave Spells, and be sacrificed for increasingly ridiculous effects. Reaper supports a more martial Necromancer while Puppeteer leans harder into controlling and sacrificing thralls. Blood, Bone, Flesh, and Spirit Grim Fascinations dramatically change the flavor and utility of your thralls. Blood looks especially strong, including ways to bypass bleed immunity and regain HP when thralls die. Mastery of Life and Death gives Necromancers unusual flexibility with vitality and void effects. Runesmith introduces an entirely new magical playstyle built around etching, tracing, modifying, and invoking runes. Diacritic runes modify other runes, opening the door to increasingly elaborate combinations. Runesmith has enormous potential for optimization, especially as players discover new ways to exploit its action compression. The new Wizard schools offer some much-needed alternatives, including dimensional and terrain-manipulation themes. Automatons get additional defensive options and, critically, laser eyes. Impossible Magic includes roughly six hundred new and updated spells, ranging from genuinely useful combat magic to wonderfully bizarre options like Fishing Spot. Bone Moth's Kiss begins with a cute little moth and ends with your bones gradually becoming a medical emergency. Living Thunderbolt lets you become lightning, fly through creatures, and damage them as you pass through their spaces. Impossible Spells are primarily GM-controlled plot devices rather than normal spell selections. A character can generally use Impossible Magic only once, after which their soul is permanently marked against doing it again. The book also includes new rituals, grimoires, spellhearts, staves, catalysts, armor and weapon runes, tattoos, and other magical equipment. The overall reaction is extremely positive. Necromancer gets most of the immediate hype, but Runesmith may be the sleeper hit once players start discovering what the rune system can really do. Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

Mike Cardamone is a comedian, writer, filmmaker, and creator of Don't Slap Snooze. Before turning his attention to health, medicine, money, and some of the stranger corners of our shared reality, Mike spent years in advertising writing and producing for major brands. Then COVID happened, he started pulling on threads, and his creative work took a very different turn.In this conversation, we talk about comedy as a way of communicating ideas that facts and arguments often can't, and Mike makes the case that laughter can do something particularly powerful: break the spell. Once you can see the absurdity in something, and laugh at it, it becomes much harder to see it the same way again.We also explore the historical role of the comedian as court jester: someone permitted to mock the king, but only as long as he doesn't start questioning why there's a king in the first place. That takes us into censorship, gatekeepers, independent media, George Carlin, the limits of mainstream comedy, and why building outside established systems may matter more than trying to reform them from within.And yes, things get weird. We talk urine therapy, enemas, fruit fasting, cleansing, Mike's personal experiments with his body, our strange relationship with food, and even satanic salamanders.But we also turn the joke back on ourselves. If we're going to criticize rigidity and dogma in mainstream medicine and science, we should probably notice when those same tendencies show up in the terrain and alternative-health worlds. Mike doesn't claim to have everything figured out. He experiments, observes, changes his mind, and keeps his sense of humor.Because as he puts it near the end of our conversation, maybe “seriousness is the disease.”Learn more about Mike and his work at https://dontslapsnooze.net/.Support Terrain Theory on Patreon!

Pastor Spell recounts the events that led to multiple arrests, house arrest, criminal charges, and years of legal battles after continuing to hold in-person church services despite government shutdown orders.He explains why he believed closing the church violated his religious convictions, how his congregation grew throughout the pandemic, and what ultimately happened when his case reached the Louisiana Supreme Court.The conversation covers:Why he refused to close his churchHis arrests and house arrestGovernment mandates during COVIDReligious liberty and constitutional rightsFear, courage, and civil disobedienceThe role of churches during times of crisisWhy he believes Americans must remain vigilant in protecting freedomWhether you agree with his conclusions or not, Pastor Spell offers a firsthand account of one of the most controversial church-state conflicts of the COVID era.
Chris Kirschke spent 27 years in security operations before a venture studio's general partner asked him to run a company. His first answer was that CISO does not spell CEO. He took the job anyway, and Kyberis AI now runs a threat graph that pulls in any OpenCTI-compliant feed, commercial or OSINT, and exposes it to security agents through MCP. Jon and Chris start with what has to be true before any of that works. Chris borrows the thesis Jason Clinton laid out at Anthropic. If you can't trust the inputs, you'll never trust the output, and that holds whether the thing consuming the input is an L1 analyst, a 2003 IDS, or a threat-hunting agent. Then the good part. Chris has enabled write access on a production system exactly once in his career. Cisco NetRanger, shunning turned on, signature matched, ACL written to the downstream router. He watched a production system go from hero to zero in 7 minutes, and finding a way to power cycle a router that size took him longer than the outage. Sean Gray was in the data center with him, still in college. That's the story sitting under the question Chris now puts to anyone selling autonomous remediation. Are you actually going to give an agent write access? Also in this one. The engineer at Gartner who wired an anti-CISO agent to his own Gartner login, his tech stack, and his team's engineering bandwidth, so he can ask Claude to explain to his boss why they're not doing the shiny thing yet. Why Chris thinks the case for AppSec being dead is horseshit, and why the SIEM isn't going anywhere either. The hoodie-or-suit question he'd hand his younger self. And the product he'd write an angel check for tomorrow, which has nothing to do with security and everything to do with understanding what his teenage daughters just said to him. Chris's ask is simple. Go to developer.kyberis.ai and start building. Brought to you by YSecurity, the security team that works next to yours.
