Butter Recorded this with us back in May*.

*PTP apologizes for the delay. Life of a cripple.

• Introducing Butter and the topic of today; AI. Less a comprehensive guide about; and more a conversation about a talk about what if/then. (Sci fi trope of “they never asked why!?”)... And how in a world based on exploitation it's only gonna be used to exploit people
• The good- Disabled people; people who want to do a thing but don't have the skills; can save time on complex equations; can be used to look for really boring shit
• The bad- artist theft; con artists; grifters; cheating students
• The ugly- class warfare (who gets to hire real humans?) misinformation campaigns; war drones

The very busy Richie Stratton stopped by on his way to host Sinferno, to talk to Rochelle & PTP to talk about Richie's new comic Night of the Were-Elk, as well as being a star in Waiting For The Kick, among other things.

Comedy, sobriety, and chickens are among those things.

Content Warning:

We talk about horror and dealing with addiction several times in this episode. More importantly, about 30 minutes in there's intense talk about an accident and subsequent injury; more messed up, about 45 minutes in PTP talks about Ethi-cult again.

We sat down with independent director Ilima Considine to talk about their new movie, Waiting for the Kick. It's a musical horror (a horror musical? we'll leave it to historians to decide) about an after hours club in Portland, based on the play Salome, based on the story of John the Baptist.

This conversation touches on themes such as sexual assault, minors in dangerous situations, and self-harm; if these are intense triggers for you, listen at your desecration. It's worth it, when you are able.

PTP & Rochelle sat down with some of the Recyclables Players Group (Chelsea Taylor, Kris Cox, and Charlie Hickmott) to talk about jobs: Why they blow, what we love about them, and how to make them suck less.

This conversation has been edited for time and content, and because PTP says "Um, uh, er, uh" a lot.

This episode didn't need sources, but PTP watched these videos to give us some ideas to spur conversation:

Ghost jobs- Don't agree with the conclusion but the information is useful (very business sided; but explains the businesses logic well).

History of labor… with Bernie Sanders

https://www.youtube.com/live/7SmZjM7SDGo?si=-jOkNElPDEpJMVDv

John Stossel (his arguments is basically “workers have it too good”, so we shouldn't fix it we should make their conditions worse… also he's mixing up a lot of the process… this should definitely be a future episode… the idea that we aren't gonna be able to pay for these things is literally making me yell at the TV)- This is what people think when they think of unions.

Honestly, just a quicker version of what we wanna talk about

This is a work of fiction, and may contain material not every listener is comfortable with. If anything surrounding vampires makes you uncomfortable, (including but not limited to blood, sex, violence, or lack of consent) this is not the episode for you

Join Game Master PTP for something a little different... A game of "Vampire: The Masquerade".

Don't worry, well explore the usual themes of trauma, life under capitalism, and more... We're just gonna be rolling some dice while we do it.
