Did we die?

This week- BLUE ALERT, leave the babyfurs alone already, the moral weight of clacking Barbies together, kindergartener argumentation with a foreign government, floriduh, and Texas is going to get its grid connected to other parts of the country finally.

This episode was plagued by all sorts of technical issues. Appropriate, since it was indeed recorded back on the 13th.

Titles is out, AI is 'going to' show up more in D&D, the ludicrous nonsense that dribbled out of trumps mouth at the debate, and books. And we still tie it back into Star Trek somehow.

Fuzz and Savrin return from the wilderness to talk about voting, lead poisoning, new books, new audiobooks, and how our regulatory state is written in blood.

It's a fun, loose episode.

This week Savrin and Fuzz are joined by Ajax at the start to look at some Bloomburrow cards, then Savrin shares their adventures at an anime con in a bad spot, good health news and coming back from the brink of death (the person whose name Savrin couldn't remember was Ryan Davis of Giant Bomb), the political vibe shift, and the passing of a fandom original.

Also this episode was recorded on Friday, 8/2, so well ahead of Dragoneer's death, but may he rest in peace.

Savrin (and Fuzz) discuss AC, gives a con report and exhorts the listener to let people know you like artists work, briefly discuss a story about smoking cessation via psychedelics, ponder over why anime cons are struggling around here, and talk about sales tactics at con. Very Anthrocon focused one.

If you wouldn't take mysterious gas station dick pills, maybe hold off on the random gummies you find at head shops! Also, some podcasts about gay animals and gayer humans Savrin found fascinating, new books for Anthrocon, and getting old! Yeehaw!
