I'm not too social media savvy... When you see an account post an AI-generated image, do you: A. Block them immediately? B. Comment "AI=Block" and then block them? C. Campaign to have everyone call them "Thief" for the rest of their lives, Link's Awakening style? I see advantages to all three.

There are two wolves inside you. There are four ethically foraged rare Galapagos Giant Tortoise eggs inside me. We are not the same.

"Why lump everyone who isn't straight into the LGBTQ etc category?!" wail the same losers who have been trying to bully us out of existence for our entire lives. Heh. I'm sure it would be much easier if you could separate us, yes. Ace friends, we've got you. Obviously.

Affirmation: My mind is clear. My heart is open. I estimate that I have approximately 2 minutes to sew myself back up before I pass out from the pain.

It is ok to take breaks. Take as many breaks as you like. The more breaks you take, the closer I come to catching up with you. And then we'll see

Born into a country with a monstrous history? Repeatedly let down by the people around you making terrible decisions? Speaking as a Brit who loves going into Europe, don't worry, most people know it's not all of you. Except you, Narnia; you guys all suck

At times like this, it is important to remember that the happiest among us are not only those who can afford coastal properties and penthouse suites. A chalet in the Alps would probably work too

Life is what happens when we are busy scattering fungal spores, insect eggs and native shrub seeds into your carpet. Life will happen whether you like it or not. We are so very busy.

Made a podcast for anxious cynics full of existential dread and then mentioned in the first episode that I think social media is pretty bad, actually. Then needed to develop a listener base. So far have received more emails from listeners than social media engagement. Yes, yes, I see my mistake.

I don't have any formal art training. I certainly don't have the budget to hire an artist for graphics for my little podcast. So really AI is my only option to... Oh, no, wait, turns out I can just try? Turns out it's fun? Even when they're bad? A little treat for after I'm done editing!

Sorry for the slight delay. Wanted to make sure this one was sufficiently preposterous. It's about embracing uncertainty, among other things. Perhaps the next one will be shorter and about a nice, warm bath... But I can't promise you anything. #comedy #podcasts #fiction #guidedmeditations

Education and creativity are key in resisting fascism. AI is designed to prevent people from developing these. When you say "look at this fun Ghibli art I made with AI!" you are lowering your pants and presenting your buttocks for the jackboots before they even reach your door. Have some dignity.

Do not let others dictate what "perfect posture" means to you. Straight and upright may boost your health, but hunched and forward-leaning has been known to boost defence stats.

After our guided meditative "bake along" episode, we received the following email. "I cried [...] but I have to ask can you actually bake or was that just made up?" ...Have ye so little faith in this microphoned weirdo? I laminated these croissants in between recordings!

When chasing your dreams, try to remember that many humans are persistence predators. Most domestic cats are ambush predators. Spider wasps are generally considered parasitoids and therefore not technically predators at all. What was I saying?

It's bizarre and exhilarating working on a project completely independently. On the one hand, I'm not beholden to management pushing my work into a box that The Algorithm has decided "works". On the other hand, my next episode is WEIRD and nobody is here saying oh gods what are you doing stop STOP

We talk a lot about how generative AI is literally stealing, ecologically destructive, spreads disinformation etc, but it's easy to forget that it's also deeply embarrassing. Like, what do you mean you don't want to do the one thing that makes humans worth knowing? #creativity #AI #art

One of life’s harshest lessons is that there will never be a point where you can do everything that society demands of you. You will not get that promotion, learn that language, listen to that wellness podcast and get abs all in the same year. Maybe just pick one? Podcast looks easiest tbh. #comedy

A query we’ve received a few times about the podcast so far: “I know it’s comedy, but is it ok that I actually find it soothing?” Of course! Things don’t stop being relaxing just because of imminent doom. See also: all other current forms of relaxation. #escapism #guidedmeditations #comedy

“Are any of the products that you advertise on the show real?” What, like the guilt soap, or the air freshener that smells like a teacher you once had a crush on? I’m terribly sorry, but no. At least, not yet. This world is deeply cursed, so in future, who knows? #podcasts #comedy #GuidedMeditations
