Shout-out to actual play podcast GMs (most recently @thestfnetwork.bsky.social ) who remind their players to explain the visuals to the listener.
I have ended up stopping listening to some podcasts that are clearly relying on visual cues because they have pivoted to video.
Podcasts is Radio I choose.
YouToob is TV I choose.
They are different things!

Seriously if y'all are putting filler in your presentations give a shorter presentation and let people have their life back.
If content doesn't serve a communicative purpose, it shouldn't be in the slides.

If they ever get around to building this thing, it should be bulldozed on Day 1 of a new administration. No messing around, no hemming and hawing about procedure or costs. Order heavy equipment in and start knocking it down immediately, as surely as an overthrown tyrant's statues would be torn down.
Even the architect Trump hired to build his massive addition to the White House objects to the president's vision. The two have argued about the size of the 90,000-sq-foot project that would dwarf the mansion. @jonathanreports.bsky.social @ddiamond.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Trump wants a bigger White House ballroom. His architect disagrees.
The president and James McCrery had argued in recent weeks over the project’s size, with Trump pushing him to expand the ballroom.
