Jeffrey Epstein's relationship with Lesley Groff was far deeper than the public first understood because she was not just a low-level secretary answering phones or handling routine paperwork. She worked for Epstein for roughly 18 years, managed his schedule, handled communications, arranged travel, coordinated meetings, and helped keep the daily machinery of his life moving. Epstein reportedly described her as an “extension of my brain,” which captures the level of trust and operational dependence involved. That kind of language matters because it shows Groff was not peripheral to Epstein's world; she was embedded in it. She was one of the people through whom access flowed, appointments were made, messages were routed, and logistics were handled. Recent congressional scrutiny has emphasized exactly that point: Groff's claim that she had a strictly professional relationship with Epstein sits against the reality that she was deeply integrated into the system that allowed his life, business, and private conduct to function.What makes the relationship more meaningful is the gap between Groff's current defense and the documented scale of her role. She has told Congress that Epstein was a master manipulator who kept her in the dark about his crimes, and she denied knowingly helping facilitate abuse. But lawmakers and survivors have focused on the fact that she scheduled frequent massages, handled travel and communications, and remained in Epstein's orbit for years, including after the Florida case made his criminal conduct public. Groff was also listed among the women covered by Epstein's controversial 2007 non-prosecution agreement, which underscores how investigators viewed her proximity at the time. So the deeper picture is not simply employer and assistant; it is Epstein relying on Groff as a trusted gatekeeper while Groff now argues that trust did not include criminal knowledge. That tension is why her role remains so important: she was close enough to help run the infrastructure, even if she continues to deny understanding what that infrastructure was being used for.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Diese Muster wirken wie Self-Promotion oder AI-Washing, nicht wie faktenbasierte Argumente. Hypothese: Solche Templates könnten sich künftig weiter verbreiten und Narrative rund um AI stärker dominieren.AI-Kosten im Blick behaltenAus dem Transkript geht hervor, dass Unternehmen AI-Kosten stark belasten: Uber meldet Budgets, die für agentic und autonome AI verbrannt wurden; Berichte über Kosten-Rationierung bei großen Firmen kursieren auch im Umfeld. Zugleich fallen Tokenpreise, doch die Gesamtkosten steigen durch komplexe Workflows und viele Sub-Agents. Implikation für Unternehmen: Einführung einer Kosten-Governance, klare Budgetgrenzen und eine kohärente Planungslogik statt unkontrollierter Skalierung.80/20-Compliance-SoftwareFirewall-Idee: 80 Prozent der Standards lassen sich als Software-Selbstprüfung abdecken, 20 Prozent erfordern weiterhin Prüfer vor Ort. Begründung ist der akute Personalmangel bei Behörden, wodurch eine Software-basierten Erstprüfung sinnvoll wäre. Umsetzung braucht Zertifizierung der Software und Klärung mit Versicherungen; der Ansatz zielt darauf, Prozesse zu beschleunigen und Abdeckung zu erhöhen.Fokus statt MultitaskEine klare Denkregel aus dem Gespräch lautet: Fang mit einer Sache an und verbessere diese zuerst, statt drei neue Dinge gleichzeitig anzugehen. Dadurch reduziert sich Komplexität und das Risiko eines overengineered Modells. Implikation für Unternehmen/Karriere: Setze frühzeitig auf eine fokussierte Verbesserung, um schneller Validierung zu erreichen und Ressourcen sinnvoll zu nutzen.Multi-Model Orchestration als TrendEs wird ein Trend sichtbar, bei dem Modelle je nach Aufgabe gezielt ausgewählt werden: Perplexity Computer soll Aufgaben erledigen, indem es passende Modelle (z. B. Gemini, Claude) orchestriert. Apple nutzt Gemini intern, und unterschiedliche Modelle eignen sich für unterschiedliche Subtasks. Bedeutung: Solche Orchestrierung kann Kosten senken und Leistungsfähigkeit erhöhen; Unternehmen sollten über Multi-Model-Strategien nachdenken.KeywordsAI-KostenAI-EntlassungenApple GeminiSiriTokenpreiseAI-Kosten 2026 UnternehmenApple Gemini Siri Privatsphäre ForkPerplexity Computer AI OptimierungFirewall Brandschutz Software SchweizQuickfire OnlyFans Creator MonetisierungSubagents AI ArchitekturArbeitnehmerüberlassung Modernisierung HandwerkArbeitgebermarke Handwerk

Why is it so important for Asian Americans to keep loudly sharing their stories? Jerry Won launched Dear Asian Americans, an interview-style podcast, in 2020. He used this growing permissions-free platform to highlight the often overlooked and "unmarketable" stories of Americans from a vast range of backgrounds. Jerry's deliberate volume-based approach—producing 100 episodes in the first year—aimed to get as close to "sufficient coverage" of Asian American experiences as possible and led to cross-country work as a speaker and presenter. It's impossible to tell every story, Jerry acknowledges in his conversation with Mary, since new ones are being created every day and everyone not featured on his show is just as worthy of sharing their life's account. His overarching goal reflects the significance many Asian cultures place on their ancestors, with a future-focused twist: by speaking up, he strives to be the kind of ancestor his kids will be proud to remember. Six years ago, Asian Americans faced backlash from the pandemic's supposed origins. Today, the tear down of DEI in the western world is another source of stifling. That's why Jerry encourages "minority" storytellers to get loud and not stop, "especially on days when the world is trying to silence you." Raise your voice to tell as many diverse stories as possible: How permission-based media built barriers against diverse storytelling; The math behind the miscalculation of Asian American audiences; How Jerry wound up live-interviewing Vice President Kamala Harris; Navigating traditional familial expectations on an untraditional job path.

Michael McFaul recommends helping Ukraine win the war to undermine Putin's grip on power, as a democratic Ukraine directly contradicts Putin's narrative that Russians require a strong dictatorship. He also stresses the importance of competing for talent by attracting educated Russian and Chinese citizens to the United States through smarter immigration policies. During the Cold War, the ability to draw in the world's smartest people was a major American advantage that is currently being hindered by restrictive visa rules. Strengthening this "brain drain" from autocracies is vital for long-term technological and economic competition. (7)1900 BAKU

He holds a doctorate in social communications and is associated with the Institute of Journalism at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv and is head of CAT-UA. His work spans two connected fields: Ukrainian literature and information warfare / strategic narratives. As a novelist, he is the author of Помру за Україну, але це не точно — roughly, I'll Die for Ukraine, But Not for Sure — a 2021 contemporary Ukrainian novel about imprisonment, patriotism, betrayal and the moral costs of war. As a communications researcher, he writes on Russian propaganda, social media, Ukrainian wartime narratives and the struggle for attention in the information space. His 2025 Frontiers article develops the idea of a “connective strategic narrative” in the Russian-Ukrainian war: a narrative formed not only by state elites, but by emotionally engaged social media public. ----------BOOKS: Narratives of Mass Destruction: Tactics and Strategies of Information Warfare (2026)Наративи масового ураження.

David Schoen was one of the lawyers Jeffrey Epstein consulted near the end of his life, and his account matters because he says Epstein personally denied that the July 2019 neck-injury incident at the Metropolitan Correctional Center was a suicide attempt. According to Schoen, Epstein told him that his cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione, had caused the injury during what was described as some kind of “experiment,” “prank,” or jailhouse incident involving something placed around Epstein's neck. Schoen has said Epstein claimed he stayed quiet because he did not want to be labeled suicidal and placed under the restrictions that would come with suicide watch.The Tartaglione claim remains one of the murkier pieces of the Epstein jail timeline because the accounts shifted. Reporting and later records indicate Epstein initially blamed Tartaglione for the injuries, then later walked that back during an internal prison interview, saying he did not feel threatened and attributing the episode to insomnia or distress. Tartaglione has repeatedly denied harming Epstein, and an internal prison investigation reportedly cleared him of responsibility, but the episode still matters because it raises obvious questions about MCC supervision, the handling of Epstein's mental-health status, and why a detainee with Epstein's profile was left in such a volatile and poorly monitored environment in the first place.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

In this Universal 1934 Studios Year by Year episode, we discuss the original There's Always Tomorrow, starring Frank Morgan and Binnie Barnes (remade by Douglas Sirk in the 50s with Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwyck) and the bizarre Claude Rains vehicle The Man Who Reclaimed His Head. The middle-class American nuclear families of the 30s and 50s curiously converge, and future Hollywood Ten screenwriter Samuel Ornitz tries to reclaim his mind from the studio heads (or so we irresponsibly conjecture).

David Schoen was one of the lawyers Jeffrey Epstein consulted near the end of his life, and his account matters because he says Epstein personally denied that the July 2019 neck-injury incident at the Metropolitan Correctional Center was a suicide attempt. According to Schoen, Epstein told him that his cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione, had caused the injury during what was described as some kind of “experiment,” “prank,” or jailhouse incident involving something placed around Epstein's neck. Schoen has said Epstein claimed he stayed quiet because he did not want to be labeled suicidal and placed under the restrictions that would come with suicide watch.The Tartaglione claim remains one of the murkier pieces of the Epstein jail timeline because the accounts shifted. Reporting and later records indicate Epstein initially blamed Tartaglione for the injuries, then later walked that back during an internal prison interview, saying he did not feel threatened and attributing the episode to insomnia or distress. Tartaglione has repeatedly denied harming Epstein, and an internal prison investigation reportedly cleared him of responsibility, but the episode still matters because it raises obvious questions about MCC supervision, the handling of Epstein's mental-health status, and why a detainee with Epstein's profile was left in such a volatile and poorly monitored environment in the first place.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Antisemitische Parolen in der Popmusik – leider kein Einzelfall. Ein Beispiel ist Xavier Naidoo, der mehrfach antijüdische Verschwörungstheorien verbreitet hat, oder auch Roger Waters, Mitbegründer der Gruppe Pink Floyd, der auf Konzerten offen israelfeindliche Parolen verkündet hat. Und es gibt noch mehr Beispiele. Das Festival About Pop, an dem auch SWR Kultur beteiligt ist, beginnt heute in Stuttgart und untersucht dieses Phänomen. Mit Konzerten, aber auch mit Diskussionen und Vorträgen. Die Politikwissenschaftlerin Maria Kanitz hat zusammen mit dem Sozialwissenschaftler Lukas Geck bereits zwei Bücher zu dem Thema geschrieben. Antisemitismus in der Popkultur ist kein Randphänomen Kanitz sagt. „Spätestens seit dem 7. Oktober hat sich eine Radikalisierung bei bestimmten Künstlerinnen und Künstlern gezeigt. Die Boykotte sind stärker und massiver geworden.“ Auch Drohungen seien stärker geworden und einige jüdische Künstlerinnen und Künstler hätten die Branche sogar verlassen. Sensibilisierung durch Workshops Kanitz fordert, die Aufmerksamkeit stärker auf die verschiedenen Formen von Antisemitismus zu richten, zum Beispiel durch Schulungen und Workshops für Festival und Konzertveranstalter. „Viele sind im Moment einfach hilflos und in einer Art Schockstarre, weil sie diese Narrative nicht verbreiten wollen, aber wie geht man damit um?“, sagt Kanitz. Man dürfe nicht alles unter Kunstfreiheit subsumieren, sondern es müssten klare Grenzen definiert werden.

What if the most revealing thing about Mormon apologetics isn’t the evidence being presented… but the behavioral patterns behind the arguments? Tonight on Mormonism Live, Bill Reel and Radio Free Mormon sit down with Dawn McCarty who works in Forensic Criminology behavioral analysis. Can forensic criminology profile Mormon apologetics? Drawing from several of her recent forensic intelligence briefs, Dawn examines Mormon apologetics, institutional responses to criticism, and high-demand religious systems through the lens of behavioral analysis, threat assessment, cognitive containment, and coercive influence. Together we discuss: • How criminologists identify behavioral patterns in institutions • Narrative patching, semantic inversion, and epistemological fog • The psychology behind apologetic argumentation • Jacob Hansen’s conversations with Alex O’Connor and Bill Reel • The LDS Church’s lawsuit against Mormon Stories and John Dehlin • How institutions maintain authority during periods of public scrutiny • Whether these frameworks can be applied fairly to critics as well as believers Most importantly, we’ll ask whether apologetics can be analyzed the same way investigators analyze other systems that seek to preserve power, shape narratives, and influence behavior. Whether you agree with Dawn’s conclusions or not, this conversation offers a unique perspective that moves beyond history and theology and into the psychology of belief, persuasion, and institutional survival. Join us live and bring your questions.

Many people, when they hear the word propaganda, immediately associate it with Nazi Germany and torchlight parades or Putin reviewing the troops in Red Square. But propaganda has Roman Catholic church origins going as far back as 1622, when Pope Gregory issued a proclamation using the term to exhort the faithful to propagate the faith. Today, propaganda is disseminated far and wide through the internet. It is used by autocrats to shield themselves and their policies from public view. Bots are at work. Malicious actors spread fake news. Deceptive techniques are so sophisticated that it is sometimes difficult to separate fact from fiction. Misinformation is eroding public trust in institutions and stressing and straining democracy. Stories are planted, rumors are spread, lies are told, and narratives are laundered.

Every healthcare professional carries a story. Some are inspiring. Some are heartbreaking. Some quietly shape who we become as clinicians, educators, leaders, and people. But what happens when those stories are never told? In this episode of Beyond the Mask, Sharon and guest co-host Laura L. Ardizzone, MS, MBA, DNP, CRNA welcome nurse educator, author, and storyteller Mary Ellen Miller, PhD, RN, PHNA-BC for a powerful conversation about narrative medicine, reflective writing, grief, healing, and the courage it takes to share personal experiences with the world. Here's some of what you'll hear in this episode:

Send us Fan MailHave you ever caught yourself describing the same frustrating circumstance over and over again?Maybe it's your health.Your finances.Your business.Your relationships.Your energy.You talk about it. You explain it. You track it. You think about it all day long.And then one day, you realize: If I don't shift this, I may keep creating more of the very thing I don't want.That happened to me recently.I had been feeling physically exhausted, and I found myself talking about it constantly. I was tracking my sleep, watching my readiness scores, and explaining to people why I felt the way I felt.Then I heard one clear phrase:“Let the weak say, ‘I am strong.'”And honestly? It felt like a wake-up call. There are moments when we have to stop rehearsing the problem and start speaking the promise.The Bible says that life and death are in the power of the tongue. That means our words matter. We cannot speak exhaustion, defeat, lack, and confusion every single day and then expect to wake up energized, hopeful, and ready to move forward.This isn't about pretending the pain doesn't exist.It isn't about denying reality.It's about refusing to let the circumstance write the script for your future.If you don't know what to do in your business, stop repeating, “I have no idea what to do.” Instead, remind yourself: God gives wisdom liberally. I have the mind of Christ. My steps are ordered.If your health feels depleted, stop constantly declaring that you're tired and worn out.Start saying: Every day, I'm getting stronger. My body is renewing. I'm taking the steps that support the future I want.If your finances feel tight, don't let lack become your language. Speak provision. Speak wisdom. Speak increase. Then take the action steps that line up with those words.Your spirit is always listening. And your words have a way of shaping what your mind notices, how you act, and the path you begin to walk.So here's my challenge for you:Go seven days without grumbling and complaining.When you catch yourself repeating the old narrative, stop.Flip the script.Say what God says.Speak life over the barren places.Speak wisdom over confusion.Speak strength over weakness. Speak provision over lack.Don't get sloppy with your words. Because eventually, you will eat the fruit of what you keep speaking. And I want that fruit to be good.

“What were you wearing?” sounds like a question, but it often functions like a verdict. From the the 2026 Conference on Crimes Against Women in Dallas, we sit down with Dr. Mary Simmerling and Dr. Denise Huskins Quinn to unpack the What Were You Wearing exhibit, a traveling art installation that recreates the everyday outfits survivors wore during sexual assault and pairs them with stories, audio, and case artifacts. The result is confronting and deeply human, designed to put the work of bearing witness back on the community and to dismantle victim blaming in real time.Mary traces the exhibit back to a poem she wrote after her own assault at 18 and explains why art can reach places training manuals cannot. Denise shares the harrowing facts of her 2015 kidnapping and rape, and the second trauma that followed when police and media pushed a false narrative that the crime was fabricated. We talk about confirmation bias, interrogation tactics like the Reid technique, and the impossible “credibility tests” survivors get trapped in, from being judged as too emotional to not emotional enough.We also dig into what it means to make a problem “visible” when shame and silence keep so many stories hidden, and how the team thoughtfully includes well-known cases, including their work with the family of Gabby Petito. Finally, we preview a new companion installation built around another loaded question: “Why didn't she just leave?” and the life-or-death realities of domestic violence, resources, and lethality risk during separation.

The verdict in the Karmelo Anthony murder case has ignited fierce reactions across social media, political circles, and public discourse. Todd examines the facts of the case, the response from Representative Jasmine Crockett, and the broader narrative being pushed about race, justice, and accountability in America. He argues that ignoring facts in favor of ideology deepens division and undermines trust in our institutions. Todd also discusses election concerns in Los Angeles and why questioning election procedures should not be considered controversial. This episode explores personal responsibility, media narratives, race, justice, and the consequences of abandoning common sense in public debate.

In her diary entry for 20 November 1797, Dorothy Wordsworth describes a late afternoon walk with her brother William and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. ‘ We went eight miles in the dark,' she wrote, ‘William and Coleridge employing themselves in laying the plan of a ballad.' This was the origin of the opening poem of the 'Lyrical Ballads', published the following year – the book often seen as marking the beginning of Romanticism. In this episode, Seamus and Mark discuss the strange hallucinatory power of ‘The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' and Coleridge's search for a meter that could capture the force of his imagination. They also consider some of the poem's many interpretations, from the influence of abolitionist writing to William Empson's reading of the shooting of the albatross, and consider whether it's best understood as a terrible encounter at a wedding reception.

Jussi Valtonen is a neuropsychologist, an adjunct researcher with the Finnish Centre for Evidence-Based Orthopedics (FICEBO), a professor of writing at the University of the Arts Helsinki, and a columnist for the Finnish Medical Journal. He works clinically as a neuropsychologist, and his research and writing sit at the crossroads of mind and brain through the health humanities. Jussi is an award-winning novelist as well. His novel They Know Not What They Do won Finland's top literary prize and has been translated into multiple languages. Alongside his scholarly work, he leads the Health, Narrative, and the Arts initiative at Uniarts Helsinki, which offers training in narrative skills for professionals in healthcare and social work and brings literary, artistic, and humanistic ways of thinking into conversation with clinical care. In this conversation, we turn to Jussi's recent work helping to build narrative medicine groups in Finland, first with clinicians and now increasingly with neurological patients, as well as to his broader effort to show why the humanities are one of the rare places where clinicians and patients alike can recover forms of attention, listening, interpretation, and moral imagination that dehumanized healthcare systems work to erode. *** Thank you for being with us to listen to the podcast and read our articles this year.

D-Lo & KC spend hour three talking about Karl Anthony-Towns and much more on the NBA.

In this episode of John Solomon Reports, New York Congresswoman Claudia Tenney joins the program fresh off the House floor to discuss the rising public backlash against coordinated, “astroturfed” far-left protests and the potentially catastrophic, long-term economic consequences facing deep-blue states. Tenney breaks down her Protect TANF Family Benefits Act, which prevents state governments from raiding federal funds designated for truly needy families to backfill state budgets. She also details her formal inquiry into acting Attorney General Todd Blanche regarding the status of the criminal referral for former New York Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo over his deadly COVID-19 nursing home directive and false statements to Congress. In the second segment, Shawn Carney, CEO and president of 40 Days for Life, weighs in on the theological identity crisis unfolding within the Democratic Party. Carney reacts to recent statements from the Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico claiming that God supports abortion and that Jesus was silent on the issue. He analyzes how the left's aggressive drift away from biology and common sense on transgender and abortion issues has systematically alienated traditional faith voters ahead of the upcoming midterm elections. Lastly, muscian Mike Cavanaugh discusses his new tribute song, The Voice of an Age, a ballad honoring the legacy and Christian faith of the late conservative figure Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated in September 2025. Cavanaugh opens up about how Kirk's unfiltered eloquence inspired him to reflect on his own willingness to speak out against modern woke narratives and corporate church silence.

Tyler Anbinder discusses his book Plentiful Country, which explores the lives of Famine-era Irish immigrants in New York. The narrative begins with a poignant 1896 scene where Kate Murphy, a long-time domestic servant, pays to stand on a map of Ireland filled with native soil, illustrating the deep nostalgia felt by many immigrants. Anbinder explains that his research relies heavily on the detailed biographical records of the Immigrant Savings Bank. These records were meticulously kept as a security measure to prevent fraud in an era without government IDs, ultimately preserving the personal histories of thousands of Irish New Yorkers.
