I want eggs to become so expensive there’s an economic incentive for the strata to let me keep chickens in my apartment complex and then I can hang out with some chickens and give eggs to my neighbours

I know that listening to an hour-long podcast about suffering sounds like a downer but I really like how this one turned out

The Jesuits found my episode page online for a program that hadn’t published yet, which I did not know was possible. There’s no limit to what they can do

Just completed the final session of this D&D campaign. I didn’t eat the memory but I did effectively become a new avatar for a misunderstood god and I hunt as many monsters across the planes as I can before I either die or become one

“He’s not actually a real Christian” is an accusation levelled at me regularly, but it’s not true. I think we need to try harder than this when dealing with MAGA and its antecedents

Also, Lovecraft’s anxieties about the scientific and technological advances of his time. The discovery of Pluto shows there are worlds outside our normal ability to observe and that’s a bit freaky actually!! Battery-powered flashlights let you see things in the dark best never discovered!!! Etc
