<p>Original broadcast date May 18, 2023. The original podcast post is here: <a href="https://pixelatedgeek.com/2023/05/binary-system-podcast-362-wtnv-228-diplomacy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://pixelatedgeek.com/2023/05/binary-system-podcast-362-wtnv-228-diplomacy/</a></p> <p>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&#39;ve wiped out Invisible Corn (sacrilege!) The doctor&#39;s now set her sights on the local shape-shifter (Josh, run!) and unfortunately Tamika Flynn&#39;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).</p> <p>If all of that&#39;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 <em>human consciousness.</em> And also Elizabeth&#39;s using it to make pretty pictures. Enjoy!</p> <p>This week&#39;s outro is a clip from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoebLIaThGM">Infinite Sky</a> by TeknoAXE </p> <p>Looking for a present for that hard-to-shop-for person?
