Happy Pride to those of us who celebrate and to all allies. And happy "go fuck yourself and unfollow me" to those who don't.

Twitch chose to replace a lot of the non-gaming category images with AI-generated images, which is a huge spit in the face for all the art communities that are now repped with AI.

There's a uservoice here to voice our displeasure!

The hills (or the spaceships buried under them) are alive with the sound of podcasts!

It's finally here, y'all! Episode 200, a 4 hour and 40 minute, three-part podcast musical extravaganza from five non-musicians!

It was probably a mistake!

There was another poster! I said there were no more posters, but I lied!

Come and listen to probably the most audacious, most ill-advised, most ambitious event in the history of this particular podcast.

Your reminder that someone can appear to be at the top (of the world, of their field, etc) and feel rather dramatically differently. I'm glad Jim worked through his issues, is still here with us and is still writing the books so many people love.

It's going to be terrific!

...possibly in the modern sense, and possibly in the "begets terror" sense, it's honestly 50/50
Might it be good? Sure. Might it be the worst thing ever done in podcast form? Probably not.
The rare podcast episode you're going to want to listen to with earplugs in.

Opened this app today because I got a notification and realized it's only the third time I've opened it all year (and both other times were also notifications). I've come a long way in not doomscrolling on social media since twitter shat itself and I hopped over here, /1

Doubt anyone on here follows me without also following the pod itself, but just in case:
Hey there, Scrappers! I'm terrible at asking for things like this BUT it's CRIT Award nomination season. Might I humbly offer for your consideration the goopiest Paizo Actual Play in the business?

We distributed these materials in English and Spanish across our community this weekend and invite you to share these reminders widely.

Print it out and keep it in your wallet or on your fridge for reference and safe keeping. We are in this together. (3/3)

You do NOT have to speak to ICE without a JUDICIAL warrant. If they attempt to enter your home or your workplace, ask for a warrant. Sometimes they will try to use other, non qualifying paperwork. They need a warrant.

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

Seriously, y'all--making this show has been a uniformly wonderful experience. So much of life as a "Creative" can feel like shouting into a void. I've had four friends to share the void with me for four years, and we've made something that a bunch of people seem to like.

Blows my mind.
So--four years ago today, the first three episodes of Pod Against the Machine went live. They were followed by another 180 (so far), spanning *almost* four books of the Iron Gods adventure path. These episodes have been downloaded 222,000 freaking times.

I started this show as a lock down project--a way to stay creative and find some human connections during a very, very dark period.
I didn't know anyone in the cast at the outset. Hell, I still have never been in the same room as any of them. But they've grown into great friends.

To say nothing of the pile of talkback shows we've done (Machine Learning, a Pod About the Machine, from Pod Against the Machine, the Only Podcast With a Supplementary Podcast With a Twenty-Four Word Title), six The B.R.I.A.N. Identity shows (most of which were charity livestreams)...

It has been an *amazing* trip so far. 2019 was possibly the shittiest year of my life--which is saying something considering I was clinically dead for part of '09--and 2020 was looking to be just as bad, but I randomly decided to answer some nerd from NYs casting call for a PF1e show on a whim /1
