La bellezza della NBA è anche quella di riuscire, più o meno volontariamente, a riproporre sfide epiche ciclicamente, creando corsi e ricorsi storici che aiutano a rendere uniche e “for the ages” le gesta di chi ne prende parte.. Toronto Raptors e Philadelphia 76ers si sono già affrontate in passato sul terreno delle semifinali di conference, ed è stata una serie memorabile. Una serie raccontata in un precedente episodio de “La serie delle serie” su questi stessi canali. Protagoniste dell'epoca, due squadre molto simili: una superstar dominante in attacco ed una schiera di role players a contorno. Ognuno con un compito ben chiaro. Ognuno con uno spartito ben definito. Le superstar di quella serie furono ovviamente Allen Iverson e Vince Carter, e quello fu il vero spartiacque della carriera di entrambi. Per il primo, The Answer, in senso positivo. Per l'altro, Air Canada, nel senso opposto. Le squadre del 2019 sono profondamente diverse rispetto a quelle di 18 anni prima. Il basket è cambiato, i fisici sono cambiati, ciò che viene richiesto ad ogni singolo giocatore è cambiato.

The Powerball jackpot has surged to $1.4 billion, sparking questions about company lotto pools and last-minute ticket grabs. The crew also debated whether Los Angeles feels more like a city of transplants or true locals, with Tim breaking the tension by sharing a funny memory of a third-grade classmate who never wore pants. Nationwide, electrical rates have been climbing far faster than inflation since 2022, fueled by grid upgrades, wildfire prevention, rising demand from AI data centers, and soaring fuel costs. In California, investor-owned utilities have hit customers particularly hard, while Costco's newest rules are stirring plenty of backlash. Finally, just before the Powerball drawing, news broke that Air Canada passengers headed to Toronto had to make an emergency evacuation after a galley fire onboard.
Over the past decade, Canada has rapidly slid from a respected nation to one that many people now see as a cautionary tale of the logical end of extreme progressivism taking over a political system. Meanwhile, things here in Latin America are moving in the opposite direction, as the region continues to shift towards embracing more pro-freedom and pro-business policies. I sat down for a conversation with my friend Shaun Newman to discuss the current state of Canada and how it contrasts with what I've been seeing on the ground here in Latin America. We dive into the various factors contributing to Canada's decline, and contrast them with the massive pro-freedom changes currently happening in much of Latin America. Enjoy! IN TODAY'S EPISODE: Listen in as Shaun and I skewer Canada's environmental policies and green agenda, from bird-slaughtering wind farms to fines for walking in the woods Tune in as we lament on how we both used to feel pride while travelling the world as Canadians… but today, we're embarrassed to admit where we're from.

In this episode I dive into the rising tide of authoritarianism and the corporate overreach fueling it. From Canadian soldiers flashing Nazi salutes, to mass surveillance spreading across the UK, to Trump's threats to deploy the National Guard in Chicago — the pattern is clear. Add in YouTube secretly altering creators' videos and scraping billions for AI training, and it's obvious we're living in the tightening grip of authoritarianism. I also cover Canada finally admitting famine in Gaza, the Air Canada strike over unpaid hours, and the Trump DOJ's bizarre deportation push.Sourceshttps://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/soldiers-hateful-conduct-nazi-salute-1.7612928https://www.nacion.com/tecnologia/sistema-de-reconocimiento-facial-masivo-en-tiempo/HNRBX6ESRBF5LMJOWGL2D7US7M/story/https://www.huffpost.com/entry/brandon-johnson-chicago-trump-national-guard_n_68ab93b3e4b0176c52bfa5f7https://www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-clowns-arent-funny-anymorehttps://www.ipolitics.ca/2025/08/25/ottawa-slams-israel-after-official-finding-of-famine-urges-halt-to-escalating-war/https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvg3ze0yxy0ohttps://www.rawstory.com/trump-justice-department-2673919484/ https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/aug/25/kilmar-abrego-garcia-uganda-deportation-trump?utm_source=chatgpt.comhttps://apnews.com/article/uganda-us-deportations-criticism-692a6cbf61c96ac3ed837b567bf2d72chttps://www.politico.com/news/2025/08/23/kilmar-abrego-garcia-deportation-00521576https://apnews.com/article/abrego-garcia-deportation-uganda-ice-2bad172b72c4871bc20bfa221b49b8bdhttps://www.axios.com/2025/08/25/kilmar-abrego-garcia-deportation-uganda-pause-judgehttps://euroweeklynews.com/2025/08/24/youtube-is-editing-billions-of-users-videos-and-training-ai-without-their-consentMutual Aid/SupportSupport KJ's fight against a brain tumor — donate to the GoFundMe campaign for Eric's nephew: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-kj-with-his-battle-against-a-brain-tumorRegina Cathedral Community Fridge — volunteer-run, 24/7 mutual aid fridge in Regina; feeding local neighbours every day.

We talk with a floatplane pilot who flies the de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver commercially. In the news, we look at strategies for modernizing the air traffic control system, striking flight attendants and some who wish they could, and a wingsuit accident takes the life of an ICON Aircraft co-founder. Guest John Crawford flies the de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver commercially on the Canadian West Coast. He began flying Beavers when he was the Chief Pilot and Operations Manager for a company specializing in floatplane training, where he overhauled the training program. In addition to his full-time flying job, John also has a coaching program that helps pilots get their first flying position without the unnecessary and expensive detour of instructing. He helps student pilots with resumes, job search beyond job ads, interview preparation, and more. John Crawford and the de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver. John describes his path to becoming a floatplane pilot, learning to fly, and using taildragger and bush-flying experience. He notes the origin of the Beaver and the challenges of flying a floatplane compared to other aircraft, including obstructions in the water, winds, and docking. John's coaching project started as a proof of concept but has grown to include Canadian, U.S., and international students. We look at his teaching methods, the pattern of floatplane student pilots who do well learning to fly, and how John shows people how to get work. John also provides a valuable perspective on flight instructing in general and how teaching is not for everyone. See John's website, find him on YouTube, and on Instagram. Aviation News The ‘brand new' ATC system might not be as new as you think The National Airspace System today is built on three main software platforms that help transmit flight plan data, collect aircraft position information, and display all of that on the screens of air traffic controllers: the Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System (STARS) used by approach and departure facilities, En Route Automation Modernization (ERAM) used by enroute facilities, and the Advanced Technologies & Oceanic Procedures (ATOPs) used by oceanic facilities in California and New York. The FAA said that combining these three protocols into a single common automation platform would be more efficient. That proposal is a pillar of the administration's ATC modernization plan, and it would cost an estimated $31.5 billion. Instead of replacing STARS, ERAM, and ATOPs, FAA chief Bryan Bedford said the agency is exploring a cheaper way to connect the systems that "will look and feel and act exactly the same" as a common platform without actually being one. "There's technology that we can stick in between ERAM and STARS and ATOPs and the user, you know, a new interface. These interfaces actually exist today. We can take that data, we can re-present it across the users of the NAS." US flight attendants are fed up like their Air Canada peers. Here's why they are unlikely to strike Hourly wages for flight attendants can be very low relative to the cost of living. Some can't afford housing in their home base location and must therefore commute from a lower-cost region. Discontent is amplified when FAs are not paid until the cabin door is open. Airline strikes are rare due to the Railway Labor Act of 1926, amended in 1936 to include airlines. For airline workers to strike, Federal mediators must declare an impasse. But even then, the president or Congress can intervene. Air Canada reaches deal with flight attendant union to end strike as operations will slowly restart Ten thousand Air Canada flight attendants went on strike, but that ended with a tentative deal that includes wage increases and pay for boarding passengers. ICON founder dies in wingsuit accident ICON Aircraft co-founder Kirk Hawkins died August 19, 2025, in a wingsuit accident in the Swiss Alps.

We're truly grateful for your heartfelt voices,” the company said Monday in a statement on its website.“You've also shown us that we could have done a better job sharing who we are and who we'll always be.”On Monday, the Lebanon, Tennessee-based company emphasized that many things about Cracker Barrel won't change, including the rocking chairs on its front porches and vintage Americana and antiques scattered throughout its restaurants.Cracker Barrel also said it will continue to honor Uncle Herschel — the older man in the former logo, who represents the uncle of Cracker Barrel's founder — on its menu and on items sold in its stores.But Cracker Barrel said it also wants to make sure that the business stays fresh and attracts a new generation of customers.Maine's Populist Senate Candidate Thinks We Are in a New Gilded AgeAccording to Graham Platner, America has entered a new gilded age and needs a politics that can meet the moment. “I think the comparisons between the late 19th century and now are apt: vast amounts of wealth and regulatory structures that in no way, shape, or form keep that wealth in check,” pointing to the power people like Elon Musk and other prominent Silicon Valley leaders have over the current administration.He pointed to his state's famed and tightly regulated lobster industry as an example.“The state of Maine has passed laws over the years that have regulated the lobster industry in a very specific way, and it means there's one boat, one captain, one license. Fishing can only be conducted while the captain is aboard. This has entirely disincentivized consolidation,” he explained.“The result is a half-a-billion-dollar-a-year industry for the state of Maine that has almost no corporate ownership.”When presented with the alternative theory—that Maine should instead allow consolidation in its prize industry and redistribute wealth back to workers and their communities through other means—he bluntly dismissed its proponents. “Those people are full of shit. The distribution of resources needs to happen at the level where things are being produced.”Lisa Cook Says She Will Not Step Down From the Fed Board“I will not resign,” she said. “I will continue to carry out my duties to help the American economy as I have been doing since 2022.”Meta Defector Issues Devastating Psychological Takedown of Tech CEOsNick Clegg, a former Meta executive who left the company at the start of this year: "If you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.""You'd think, wouldn't you, that if you were immensely powerful and rich like Elon Musk and all these other tech bros and members of that podcast community that you'd reflect on your good fortune compared with most other people?" Instead, Clegg seethed, they cry persecution."In Silicon Valley, far from thinking they're lucky, they think they're hard done by, [that] they're victims. I couldn't, and still can't, understand this deeply unattractive combination of machismo and self-pity."Red Lobster Is Betting on Black Diners With Its Brand ComebackCEO Damola Adamolekun, who took over the job last September, a 36-year-old Nigerian American, who is also credited with rescuing P.F. Chang's.Red Lobster has been a part of America's casual-dining landscape since the first location opened in Lakeland, Fla., in 1968.

They span six categories: Therapy-Speak (1/11: Triggering); Seminar Room Language (0/8); Organizer Jargon (1/8: Stakeholders); Gender/Orientation Correctness (1/8: Patriarchy); The Shifting Language of Racial Constructs (0/5); Explaining Away Crime (0/4)Korea passes boardroom reform, curbing chaebol powerSouth Korea has passed a significant boardroom reform aimed at curbing the power of the country's large family-owned conglomerates, known as "chaebol."Here are some key changes:Mandatory Cumulative VotingFor large listed companies with assets exceeding 2 trillion won (about $1.44 billion), a cumulative voting system is now required. This system allows minority shareholders to pool their votes and elect a representative to the board, giving them a greater voice in corporate governance.Increased Power for Audit CommitteesThe number of audit committee members elected separately from the controlling shareholders will increase from one to at least two. This strengthens the independence of the audit committee, which is responsible for overseeing financial reporting and internal controls.Broader Application of the "3% Rule"The "3% rule," which limits the voting power of the largest shareholders to 3% when electing audit committee members, will now be extended to independent directors. Previously, this cap only applied to internal directors.Extended Fiduciary Duty of DirectorsA previous amendment in July extended the fiduciary duty of directors to all shareholders, not just the company. This change is intended to prevent controlling families from making decisions that benefit themselves at the expense of minority shareholders."Outside Directors" Renamed "Independent Directors"A symbolic but important change that emphasizes the need for directors to act independently of management and controlling shareholders.Mandatory Hybrid Shareholder MeetingsFor publicly traded firms with more than 2 trillion won in assets, hybrid shareholder meetings will be mandatory. This will allow shareholders to participate and vote online, increasing accessibility and participation.Increased Proportion of Independent DirectorsThe required proportion of independent directors on the board has been raised from one-quarter to one-third, further strengthening independent oversight of management."Yellow Envelope Bill"This measure, passed alongside the boardroom reforms, secures bargaining rights for subcontracted workers, which could have a significant impact on the labor practices of chaebol.Revamping Public Broadcaster GovernanceThe reforms also include measures to revamp the governance of public broadcasters, which could reduce the influence of chaebol on the media.UnitedHealth forms new ‘public responsibility' board committeeThe committee will oversee areas where UnitedHealth has struggled or faced public scrutiny: underwriting and forecasting, regulatory relationships, reputational matters, and M&A.Michele Hooper, who's served on UnitedHealth's board since 2007, will step down as lead independent director to chair the committee.

Labor sociologist Barry Eidlin joins Suzi to discuss the recent Air Canada strike, which has now reached a tentative agreement. The strike began when 10,000 flight attendants, organized in the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), walked off the job on August 16, after months of failed negotiations. The Canadian government responded with its usual move: a back-to-work order under Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code — a provision that ostensibly regulates strikes, but is instead used to short-circuit them. But this time, something unusual happened: the workers defied the order, chanting “Forced to fly? We won't comply!” After an all-night bargaining session, they secured a tentative settlement on August 19th — showing what labor can do when it doesn't back down. We talk about the strike, the government response, its outcome, and what it portends. We'll also talk about the differences between Canadian and US unionizing and labor law, strike outcomes, and public policy. Jacobin Radio with Suzi Weissman features conversations with leading thinkers and activists, with a focus on labor, the economy, and protest movements.
We're back to full strength this week and have another jam packed episode for you! We start with headlines from workers at Microsoft, Uber, Amazon, Portuguese Airports, Kaiser Permanente, SpaceX, and the Commonwealth Bank of Australia. Then we've got a follow up on last week's landmark defiance of Canada's attempt to crush the Air Canada strike, with flight attendants winning big after standing their ground. Next we've got an update on the war on education, with stories from the University of Oregon, Columbia University, the AAUP, and public school teachers in Oklahoma. Continuing with our airport centered theme, we also have a maddening story of union busting by airport transportation contractor SkyHop, from a recent report by Amir Khafagy for Documented. Finally, after nearly four months, the workers at Butler Hospital in Providence, RI finally won their strike and ratified a new contract, we discuss what they won in the process.

Hi there. I'm Dr. Mary Travelbest, coming to you from a recent trip, on a 90-day solo journey around the world. Listener Story Spotlight Alina, whom I met in Toronto and who hosted me for my final four nights, is trying to travel to Seattle this week, but she's been affected by the Air Canada airline strike. She's a great traveler who has visited Japan, Spain, and many European countries. She was an excellent Servas host. Look up Servas if you want to encourage world peace with cultural exchange. Quick-fire FAQ: The FAQ for today is: What was my favorite place during my 90-day journey? It's what I get asked nearly every day. I don't want to leave anyone out, so I usually say, 'Right here is my favorite place.' Right now, I'm home, so that's my favorite place. It's usually the NEXT trip that I'll be taking. My next trip is for work, to Las Vegas, so that's not a favorite. I can stay here for up to two nights, and then I need to get out. However, after that, it's off to Chicago soon. That will be a favorite this fall. 60-second Travelbest confidence challenge Walk outside. Close your eyes and stop where you are. Listen to the sounds you hear. Did you catch every sound? Make a list in your mind. Continue walking and focus on what you hear. The sounds of nature or the city are there, but maybe you haven't been listening. Go ahead and do this once a week. That's your challenge. If you like today's Confidence Challenge, Chapter 1 of my 5 Steps series book A dives deeper—link in description.” See Book A for addressing all of these items. https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/ Destination Deep‑Dive Today's special destination is: A summary of my 90-day trip. Part One I began my trip in South America on May 13, 2025. I charted a course to go around the world from north to south. I flew to Chicago to begin my trip and then went to Bogota, Colombia, Cartagena, and finally Medellin. I spent a total of four weeks in South America, traveling through four countries, each for one week. Some of the highlights of South America would include fantastic artwork in downtown Medellin and riding on their very sophisticated tram system. In Cartagena, I had the opportunity to explore the old town and the city walls, as well as spend a day at Isla Blanca, a resort. My second week was spent in Ecuador, where I spent several days on the island of Isabela in the Galapagos. I saw many natural wonders here on this small island. I explored the tunnels and had the opportunity to swim with sea turtles during this trip. I also saw many lizards and other unusual creatures. After arriving in Peru, I landed in Lima and then traveled to Cusco by plane, where I spent a few days acclimating to the high altitude. I spent one 19-hour day in Machu Picchu, leaving at 3 AM and arriving at about 11 PM. That was quite an adventure, and it was a beautiful day at that. I felt that I got to know the city of Lima after visiting it for the second time at the end of May, when I spent a week in Brazil. I first arrived in Rio de Janeiro and visited the Christ the Redeemer statue. I then spent several days exploring the city before heading to the sister city across the bay in Nero, where I enjoyed the locals and the beaches. I then flew to São Paulo. I explored this vast metropolis, one of the largest cities I've ever seen. From there I flew to South Africa via Angola, and when I arrived in Cape Town, I rented a car and drove on the left side of the road for the first time. I explored the Garden Route for several days before returning to Cape Town, situated at the southernmost tip of Africa. After Cape Town, I flew to Johannesburg on another airline. I was fortunate to visit the Apartheid Museum and the homes of two Nobel Peace Prize winners, all in the same neighborhood. This is my second trip to Africa, so I was glad to see a different part of it this time. I'll finish up my summary in the next episode, so stay tuned. Smart Move and Slip-up pairings One of my slip-ups on this trip was losing my phone. I lost it while I was entering the CN Tower in Toronto, one of the city's most popular tourist attractions. I was going through the X-ray machine, and they asked me to take off my vest. They also asked me to remove items from the pockets in the vest. They removed my phone from my pocket and dropped it in the basket when I was collecting my vest. I forgot to put the phone back in my pocket and proceeded to enter the exhibit for about five minutes. When I went to take a photo of an item on the tour, I couldn't find my phone I knew where it was so I turned around retrace my steps, made sure that they were gonna give me a reentry went into their highly secure staffing room and retrieved my phone immediately so don't slip up like I did and leave your phone behind when you're going through security, even if you seem to be a little bit nervous when you're going through there take a minute and make sure you have all your things. The smart move is to take a breath whenever you are going through a security situation. 60-second confidence challenge Here's my challenge for you. Can you pack all of your toiletries and one small cube that will help build your confidence in many ways? Don't forget to zip up any items that could leak, especially if you have bug or mosquito protection, such as DEET, which should be double-bagged. Resources Roundup One of the good places to find resources is with your government agencies, such as the US consulate. Don't hesitate to check those out before you take a big trip. Take away mantra and goodbye. My takeaway for today is that traveling in one direction means that you don't have to double back and return to the same destination. Making a loop is a more efficient way to travel, draw a circle, and see where you can go on that journey, instead of just coming back.

This episode features a rambling reflection that Mark recorded on part of an unexpected and unplanned four-day road trip from Calgary, Alberta to Waterloo, Ontario. When Mark was in Calgary, Alberta for the When Words Collide conference, Air Canada went on strike and all flights were canceled. Finding himself unable to get home (without having to pay for 4 nights in a hotel plus a flight on an alternate airline that would have cost him $1500), Mark decided to rent a car and drive back home nearly 3,500 kilometers (2174 miles) during the week of Monday August 18th through Friday August 22nd. Instead of being frustrated over the predicament, Mark chose to see this as an amazing opportunity to see parts of the country he hadn't yet visited. This episode is a rambling reflection from the road that he recorded on the morning of Wednesday October 20th on the highway between Dryden, ON and Thunder Bay, ON.
