Binary System Podcast #362: WTNV #228 "Diplomacy"

Original broadcast date May 18, 2023. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2023/05/binary-system-podcast-362-wtnv-228-diplomacy/ Things are changing fast in Night Vale. Dr. Lubelle and the University of What It Is took out The Weather last week (shock!), and this week they've wiped out Invisible Corn (sacrilege!) The doctor's now set her sights on the local shape-shifter (Josh, run!) and unfortunately Tamika Flynn's proposed solution might be just as damaging as the problem has been (calling it now, if Carlos has to leave Night Vale, we riot). If all of that's a little too heavy for you, we lighten things up with a full recap of Season 3 Episode 2 of The Umbrella Academy, and a quick summary of the delightful The Detectorists. Aaaand then we bring on the heavy topics again by talking about MidJourney, its possible effects, a few cautionary suggestions, and how it might tie into the entire concept of human consciousness. And also Elizabeth's using it to make pretty pictures. Enjoy! This week's outro is a clip from Infinite Sky by TeknoAXE Looking for a present for that hard-to-shop-for person?
