After listening to this episode, I can't help but feel the shadow of Christian extremism looming over the war in Ukraine. After all, we've already seen the Trumpism playbook at work here at home. Guess where he got it from? (Hint: rhymes with lootin'!)
In THE WILEYMAN, we begin with a throwback to the Cold War of the 1970s and quickly arrive at the war today instigated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. #LateGreatPlanet...

I just posted an album to itch, at fluffy.itch.io/novembeat-2021
The neat thing about this is that this is also the first public, end-to-end test of pyBlamscamp! See github.com/fluffy-critter… for more information.
Thanks to @suricrasia for the inspiration and original web player. :)

So ep 2 of Diabolical—the Justin Roiland one—is essentially a Quentin Tarantino-inspired adaption of Ursula Le Guin’s The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas.
