Assuming here your moods are Sports chat (preferably NBA chat!) or Dax Shepard. Bleak!

Depressing as someone who makes narrative podcasts to get the Wondery regular emails which promise "something for every mood!" and then your choices are:

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Mind the Game with Lebron James
New Heights with the Kelce brothers
The Old Man and the Three with Cam Johnson

CORRECT

The player I am with wants it on the record “if you aren’t supposed to eat the knight, why is he made of chocolate?”

Basically chopping up an evil knight made of chocolate, which I think is written as goofy fun, became this nightmare cannibalism scene. But it was very memorable!

This is an excellent game!

My one (not negative at all) comment is my experience of SWEET REVENGE was it was absolutely one of the most disturbing horror scenarios of all time (although that was down to the players, it’s not written that way!)

But - thats a *specific* ai use case, I don’t think it’s a good idea for just general reportage!

Doing this with reporters for all fifty states would have taken like…a year, and all those med neg boards etc are complex reads. You’ll never have the money or time to do it.

As it was we got maybe a dozen case studies with a massive geographic scope that identified a systemic issue.

I will say I have had some success with using AI to search massive public datasets.

So for example, I had chatgpt pro look at medical malpractice cases across the USA, and find 5 cases that were unreported & touched on significant areas we wanted to report, per state

The Deepest Dark The Deepest Dark is a tragic, GM-less horror TTRPG about being trapped underground.

It's @georgiacooked.bsky.social's birthday! And what better way to celebrate than by giving her money*?

Our Zine Month ttrpg The Deepest Dark is LESS THAN £300 away from funding!! Can we get it over the line today??

*I will also get money

I’m not normally that person but….

It’s really annoying that Democracy for Sale a has hardly been credited anywhere in last 24 hours for breaking story of Labour Together paying to spy on journalists *almost two weeks* ago

Hadn’t expected Tory press office to be the exception!

This is what makes Musk's adoration of Afrikaners so especially, toxically nuts. He's not even one of them! His family immigrated there! He's the Rachel Dolezal of Boers.

A large Regency house. Two sisters named Emilia and Charlotte talk on an upper floor. "Mister Blackwell has come to call again." says Emilia as she looks out of the window "Oh, how I despise his uncouth manners and electric bicycle!" Charlotte says "Sister, you will end up a spinster if you insist on a historically accurate suitor." and continues "The romance novel has changed, Emilia, and so must we." Emilia replies "Easy for you to say. You are engaged to the richest werewolf in the county!" They are walking through the house. Charlotte says "Look at Cousin Lucy: She is quite plain, yet made a most advantageous match with the dragon queen of nalthrax." "True." says Emilia opening the door. The tall, solid figure of Miuster Blackwell stands at the door wearing a top hat and tailcoat: "Ladies, I triumphed In my ice hockey match and won ten thousand a year in sponsorship! Miss Emilia, will you be my bride?" he is holding a hockey stick. Emilia swoons into Charlotte's arms.

It wasn’t inherently corrupt or designed to go to wealthy kids, there was just a cohort of people who knew when and how to apply and had glittering CVs. And they weren’t rough lads from local comps, put it that way

Not just being able to do it, but knowing it exists. Years ago I did a Cameron era dispatches on this thing called the international citizenship service, that was basically dropping 6 figure sums on 18 year old Etonians for taxpayer funded gap years working in international development

I’m sure those people exist in Ireland in some form! Surely some of this is goes to the nephews of TDs:)

I mean I bet the Irish scheme will make more good art, because we’ve all met the head boys and head girls who end up running the British arts council.

My guess is the Irish one but INEVITABLY if we did it the 2000 people would all be 4th daughters of baronesses.

I’m strongly reminded of an arts council funded thing I attended the launch of which was a millionaire’s son photographing famous people jumping, which he got ££££ for

Real Q is do you get more out of a scheme like the Irish one or our massive schemes focussed on institutions

Ireland’s basic income for the arts scheme becomes permanent When piloted, initiative that provided €325 a week to eligible artists recouped more than its net cost, study shows

Worth saying this costs about 40 million euro, even assuming it costs 5-6 million to administer (which is too much but let’s assume you’re also giving a living to 20-30 civil servants too)

This guy is outstanding. Like a medieval manuscript gargoylian in 3d

God I love your covers. Your style is so lush!

I’ve only done it once in a regency set novel, but writing “you have forgotten yourself” was a delightful thrill

With more people getting the opportunity to play Metal Gear Solid 4, it means more people will understand one of my favorite posts online

"I'm the leader of the league of shadowsh"

"I'm paying for the Shcarecrow, Batmensch"

Lovely tradition to dress up for it!
