Intercontinental Amuse-Bouche Barrage feat. Séamus Malekafzali
It's the free one!
This week, Riley, Hussein, Nate, and November speak with friend of the show and returning guest Séamus Malekafzali (@Seamus_Malek) about recent developments in the airspace between Iran and Israel, plus a few tidbits about a Tory MP who simply loves getting blackmailed, a racist Spectator article that may have achieved an all-time TF shock record, and allegations that Warhammer has, in the words of Britain’s very reasonable press, ‘gone woke.’

Shoot and cry 2? Gen-o-cry!
Iran developing the most powerful hacking network in the world by offering universal trans healthcare to anyone from any nation
Above all else, if you wanna maintain a Rules Based International Order, I think there has to be consequences to attacking the diplomatic missions of other countries, even if you hate them. You can't shoot the diplomat, that's been the most basic part of diplomacy for thousands of years. Israel can pretend diplomacy was invented by gay people to sell caviar or whatever, but aggressive stupidity will only get you so far.
Proud of Riley's character development (correctly identifying a place in Lancashire as being in Lancashire)
Thank you, Hussein for joking about the figurines having to start facing Mecca, prompting me to look up the scholarly guidelines for prayer for astronauts, which takes into account freefall, interplanetary and interstellar distances, and at what times you should pray and fast when normal time zones no longer apply
Always love to hear from Séamus!
I've been reading the Aubrey Maturin books so I can keep up (and because they're great) and it's really funny to hear Riley keep mentioning regency politics in this episode. Like yes this is also very much like the last thing I read
Mark Kern's currently trying to drum up gamergate 2 again, presumably because abortive videogame no. 3 ain't panning out so well.

Shoot and cry 2: Slaughter and sob
God-tier guest👌Gracias todos
On the warhammer topic : real lore heads know anything GW does on the lore doesn't mean much because decades of retconning and writers and marketers left it as a mess. A beautiful mess. Incredible minis. Weird balance. Fun to paint. And what's the issue with a female custodes? Dear Throne, There are several transhuman factions, asexual factions, clone faction, bdsm faction, and that's not even considering what chaos factions is that they do ( slaneesh or tzeentch). Can't think of a more inclusive rooster. Some part of the Fandom has issues and it shows. Ps: "selling plastic to autistic kids" hits too close to home. Lol. Ps: Necrons and Admech here.
Y'all bring me lots of joy. Much obliged.
Anyone got a link for the article at the beginning?

Brilliant episode.
*Baz voice* You see this Vengeful Spirit - The Battle of Molech book? Says His Maj made them space marines using chaos secrets. Horus Heresy's gone bloody woke I tell ya.
