R. Marcus Rubenstein's sermon on the first day of Shavuot at Temple of Aaron morning services on May 22nd, 2026.

On this episode of The Brian Crombie Radio Hour, Brian Crombie is joined by Jeanne Milne and Erin Waite for an in-depth discussion on the growing conversation around Alberta separatism and the broader political tensions reshaping Canada. The panel examines why increasing numbers of Albertans are expressing frustration with Ottawa, the role Premier Danielle Smith and the UCP government are playing in the debate, and how economic pressures, populism, and regional alienation are fueling calls for greater autonomy — or even separation. The conversation also explores the potential economic and constitutional consequences of Alberta leaving Canada, including concerns around pipelines, trade access, investor confidence, Indigenous treaty rights, and comparisons to Brexit and past Quebec sovereignty movements. As Alberta remains one of the country's wealthiest provinces, the episode asks a critical question: Is separatism a serious political movement, or a reflection of deeper distrust and polarization spreading across Canada?

Sign up at thecyclingpodcast.comThis week the Giro d'Italia will start behind the old Iron Curtain for the third time in five years, specifically in Bulgaria. For Italians, the Giro has always represented the sporting highlight of May – but for those living in Eastern Europe, for half a century, the Peace Race took centre stage.The 1986 edition was an unforgettable one, for reasons that had nothing to do with cycling. Ten days before the race was due to start in Kyiv, 90 kilometres from there, at the Chernobyl power plant, there was an explosion in one of the reactors. The ensuing catastrophe turned into the worst disaster in the history of nuclear power. Hundreds of billions of dollars, hundreds of thousands of Soviet soldiers and hundreds of thousands of evacuations would be required to restore at least the illusion of control. Meanwhile, a cover-up of unprecedented scale and unimaginable consequences began – and allowed the 1986 Peace Race to start in Kyiv. In the last instalment of his two-part series, Daniel Friebe covers what happened when the Peace Race peloton left Kyiv and over subsequent months and years, as the horrific implications of Chernobyl slowly revealed themselves. Meltdown: The Race to Escape Nuclear Disaster is a series written and produced by Daniel Friebe. Episode art is by Daniel Friebe.

You may have heard of Chase Huges. He is a behavioral expert with a large social media footprint. He often makes the case that we live in a world shaped by abstraction. In this teaching, I talk about how this leaves in a state of fracture and alienation where we think more than participate in reality and I think through some steps we can take to rediscover vitality and bliss.

Send us Fan MailKarl Marx opens Das Kapital by warning that capitalism can turn people into things. Put that next to the UFC and suddenly a knockout isn't just a highlight, it's a product built from training bills, risk, and a body that can break on command. We walk through Dana White's rise from saving a struggling promotion to running a global mixed martial arts empire, then ask the harder question: what did the system require along the way?We break down the ideas that make the argument click. Commodity fetishism explains why the UFC sells “warriors” and “legacy” while hiding the labor underneath: the $30k camps, the brain trauma, the medical fallout, the contracts that control likeness rights and footage. Alienation shows up in the fine print too, with fighters classified as independent contractors, carrying their own costs and losing control over key parts of their work life.Then we follow the money. Surplus value helps explain why fighters reportedly receive only about 16% to 20% of UFC revenue while leagues like the NFL and NBA sit closer to 50% for players. We connect that gap to monopoly power as the UFC absorbs or outlasts competitors, and to the “industrial reserve army” effect of endless replacements on the regional scene and Dana White's Contender Series. The closing turn is on us: our clicks, buys, and shares keep the machine alive.If this shifts how you watch combat sports, subscribe, share this with a friend who loves MMA, and leave a review with your take: what would a fair UFC fighter pay model actually look like?

2. HEADLINE: Historical Alienation: From the 1953 Coup to the 1979 Revolution GUEST AUTHOR: Nilo Tabrizy SUMMARY: Nilo Tabrizy explores the deep historical grievances that paved the way for modern Iranianunrest. The discussion centers on the 1953 coup against Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh, orchestrated by the CIA and MI6 to counter his popular push to nationalize oil. This foreign interference, combined with the Pahlavidynasty's disconnect from starving citizens—symbolized by the Shah's lavish party at Persepolis—fueled long-term alienation. These wounds provided the momentum for the 1979 Revolution. Tabrizy explains that the current regime's brutality is an extension of this historical struggle for autonomy and the people's rejection of autocratic rule. 21585

15. VIETNAM WAR LESSONS FOR MODERN CONFLICT. GREGORY COPLEY. Copley warns that alienation from the government and a lack of defined victory objectives could lead to strategic catastrophe. He notes Trump has alienated allies who previously supported US endeavors. (17)1971 IRAN

Dr. Aldrich Chan is a neuropsychologist, psychotherapist and founder of the Center for Neuropsychology and Consciousness. An adjunct professor at Pepperdine University, Aldrich's research on the default mode network, mindfulness and trauma bridges neuroscience with ancient Taoist philosophy. He is the author of Reassembling Models of Reality (2021) and Seven Principles of Nature: How We Strayed and How We Return (2025).________________In this conversation, we explore Aldrich's synthesis of neuropsychology, Taoism and evolutionary mismatch theory — his SAD theory (separation, alienation, discord), the seven principles of nature (CPR WEST), subcortical midline structures and our original experience of connectedness, and what it means to live in alignment with nature.________________

What kind of hope is worth holding onto? In this episode, Tristan and Rashid unpack the idea of critical hope, drawing on the work of Jeff Duncan-Andrade and a powerful quote from Paulo Freire's Pedagogy of Hope. They introduce us to Ashley and Helene Visagie, founders of Bottom Up, a Cape Town youth organisation that equips teenagers with tools of critical thought to question the systems around them rather than simply plugging gaps.In clips from the original Liminal Space episode, Ashley describes the shift from fixing broken toilets to asking why they're broken in the first place, and how capitalism alienates us from our work, each other, and the environment. Helene speaks about telling kids the truth without leaving them stranded in despair, and what it takes to move forward together. Tristan and Rashid reflect on when they first encountered critical thinking, and why imagining a new world requires us to question the imagination behind the current one. The episode closes with a guided imagination exercise inviting listeners to picture their neighbourhood 20 years from now.THEMESCritical hope. Democratizing critical thought. Stop plugging gaps. Alienation under capitalism. Education as liberation. Imagination as action. Youth as co-constructors of change.LISTEN TO THE FULL EPISODEThis episode features clips from The Liminal Space Season 1, Episode 3: Critical Hope and Being Human with Ashley Visagie.

In this second part of our conversation, Columbia University psychiatrist and researcher Ragy Girgis examines the deeper social patterns behind the rise of modern mass violence. The discussion looks at how isolation, cultural change, and the loss of meaningful roles have reshaped the psychological landscape for many young men. Drawing on data from large case studies, the episode explores the difference between clinical mental illness and broader social breakdown. The result is a difficult but necessary conversation about what has changed in modern society and what it may take to reverse the trend.Part 1: https://youtu.be/FiZT2NnJ3mYPATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADOX LOST PRE-SALE: https://buy.stripe.com/7sY7sKdoN5d29eUdYddEs0bHOMEBREW MUSIC - Check out our new album!Hard Copies (Vinyl): FREE SHIPPING https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereStreaming:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-herePARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-show00:00 Go! 00:00:00 Violence, mental health, and social breakdown00:04:47 When modern mass violence began rising00:08:28 Environment, addiction, and the Rat Park insight00:13:45 Media, identity, and the cultural aesthetics of violence00:20:37 Masculinity, purpose, and social displacement00:29:07 Categories and patterns in mass violence data00:39:34 Psychological collapse and public attacks00:48:30 Isolation, media ecosystems, and cultural drivers00:57:30 Why current therapy models often miss men01:04:55 Cultural figures filling the guidance vacuum01:11:36 Alienation and the risk of ideological extremism01:17:01 Why common policy responses fall short01:21:26 Redirecting alienated young men toward purpose01:27:02 Recognizing the crisis and searching for solutions #mentalhealth #Psychology#humanbehavior #socialpsychology #ModernSociety#masculinity #MentalHealthCrisis#physicspodcast #philosophypodcast MERCH: Rock some DemystifySci gear : https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/AMAZON: Do your shopping through this link: https://amzn.to/3YyoT98DONATE: https://bit.ly/3wkPqaDSUBSTACK: https://substack.com/@UCqV4_7i9h1_V7hY48eZZSLw@demystifysci RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/2be66934/podcast/rssMAILING LIST: https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S SOCIAL: - Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DemystifySci- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DemystifySci/- Twitter: https://twitter.com/DemystifySciMUSIC: -Shilo Delay: https://g.co/kgs/oty671

Neoborn Caveman delivers another marble-mouthed, pro-humanity satire, exposing how deeply we have been sold into a system that claims ownership over our children and our bodies under the guise of protection and necessity.NC opens with the ancient Greek meaning of “idiot” as those who refuse public life, then uses a recent CPS case of a recovered missing girl to spotlight privacy erosion and the parens patriae doctrine that makes the state the ultimate guardian of all children. He details the system's documented overreach, perverse financial incentives that reward more foster placements, and its targeting of sovereign families who homeschool, live off-grid or reject conventional medical paths.A parallel major thread examines the military's approved use of Modafinil to keep pilots functional after days without sleep, tracing its lineage to earlier stimulants and contrasting it with the criminalization of civilians for similar cognitive aids, revealing the clear double standard on who owns their body and mind.Along the way the show touches green tea rituals, patterns of coercion, the modern convenience cage built on licensed access and the appearance of choice, atomization as deliberate control, and the spiritual cost of living in perpetual vigilance.The episode ultimately calls for rebuilding genuine lateral community and trust as the path to reclaim sovereignty beyond managed fragmentation.Music guest: pMadKey TakeawaysAncient “idiot” meant those who refused public engagement, urging active participation.Parens patriae makes the state the ultimate guardian of children.Child welfare funding rewards expansion through more foster placements.Sovereign choices like homeschooling or off-grid living flag families as suspicious.Military cognitive enhancement for pilots is approved while civilian use is criminalized.Body autonomy becomes conditional when the state needs it.Convenience cages create compliance through licensed access and appearance of choice.Atomization prevents unified resistance by isolating shared struggles.Genuine lateral community rebuilds sovereignty beyond fragmentation.Real life requires presence free from perpetual vigilance.Sound Bites“I hope you are not an idiot, right?”“Shouldn't we have all the rights to decide where we settle? How we live our life… without harming others?”“Whose child is it anyway?”“The state is the ultimate guardian of all children, and the biological parents exercise custody at the state's discretion.”“More kids in the system equals more federal dollars to the agency.”“Cognitive autonomy in service of state violence is infrastructure. Cognitive autonomy in service of a person… is a problem.”“A prison where the inmates believe they are free is more stable than one with visible bars.”“Alienation, atomization, well, those things are against humans.”“We should live, not just exist.”“You are amazing.

In this episode of Disrupting Divorce, Rhonda sits down with Brett Ward, a nationally recognized family law attorney and litigation leader at Blank Rome, to unpack a topic that many people have never heard of: alienation of affection. But this conversation goes far beyond one legal concept. Together, Rhonda and Brett explore when mediation works, when it does not, and why so many people find themselves stuck in divorce processes that are not actually serving them. They talk candidly about power imbalances, lack of financial transparency, the importance of legal strategy, and what clients should be looking for in the professionals guiding them through divorce. They also dive into how social media is shaping modern family law cases and why public humiliation can intensify already painful situations. This is a grounded, insightful conversation for anyone navigating divorce and trying to understand their options more clearly. In This Episode, We Cover: What "alienation of affection" means and why it still exists in a small number of states The difference between mediation and litigation — and when mediation may not be the right fit Why power imbalances matter in divorce negotiations The warning signs that mediation may actually be putting someone at a disadvantage The role of trust, communication, and financial transparency in choosing the right divorce path How social media can impact family law cases Why clients need to be active participants in their divorce process The importance of building the right support team, including legal, financial, and emotional support Key Takeaways: One of the strongest themes in this conversation is that not every divorce belongs in mediation. While alternative dispute resolution can be valuable, Rhonda and Brett both emphasize that it can become harmful when there is: a history of control or intimidation poor communication lack of transparency hidden assets fear-based decision-making unresolved abuse dynamics Brett shares that mediation requires a certain level of trust and balance. Without that, the process can simply repeat the same unhealthy power dynamic from the marriage. Another powerful takeaway is the reminder that divorce should not just happen to you — it should happen with you. Clients deserve strategy. They deserve advocacy. And they deserve professionals who will communicate clearly and involve them in the process.

In the mid-60s his mind turned to science fiction and the result was a visually striking, choatic film about a dystopian world in which logic rules and love is punished. If you find the film confusing you are not alone and I have two brilliant academic brains to help us out. Roger Luckhurst is a Professor at Birkbeck, University of London. He has written/edited numerous articles and books on cultural history and film. Douglas Morrey is an associate professor of French at the University of Warwick. He has a special interest in the French new Wave on which he has written extensively, including the 2005 book Jean-Luc Godard. CORRECTION: In the podcast I mention Roger citing Alphaville having an image from Chris Marker's La Jetée but the image is actually Marker's photograph which is in the credit sequence but doesn not feature in La Jetée. The book of poetry in the film Capitale de la douleur (Capital of Pain) is written by Paul Elouard.

Next episode we will be talking about Planet of the Vampires, the low budget 1965 dubbed delight by Mario Bava. The film is campy (and for me quite hilarious) as well as being famed for inspiring Alien (1979). (Perhaps a little overstated in this regard?) You can find the film to rent on Amazon, Apple, Flixfling and may find it on free platforms with ads in your region. You can check the JustWatch website for more details.

Ken Landau talks with journalist and award-winning fiction writer Fran Hawthorne, who discusses her latest novel, "Her Daughter". This book covers important legal topics including parental alienation, domestic abuse and reconciling after estrangement between parents and children.

The book of Hosea is one of the most emotionally intense and theologically rich prophetic books in the Old Testament—and its opening chapters give us a lens for reading everything that follows.In this episode, we explore Hosea 1:1–2:1 as a paradigm for the entire book. From the very beginning, Hosea alternates between devastating bad news and breathtaking good news—prophecies of judgment and discipline followed by promises of renewal, restoration, and hope. That rhythm is not accidental. It's the heartbeat of Hosea's message.We begin with Hosea's shocking marriage to Gomer, a woman characterized by persistent unfaithfulness. This marriage is not merely biographical—it is prophetic. Hosea's relationship with Gomer becomes a living parable of God's covenant relationship with Northern Israel, exposing Israel's spiritual adultery and fractured loyalty to YHWH.We then examine the three children born to Hosea and Gomer and the symbolic weight of their names—names that announce judgment, estrangement, and the sobering diagnosis of their covenant identity. In particular, we wrestle with God's declaration to Israel: “You are not my people.” But Hosea makes it clear—this is not the end of Israel's story.By the end of chapter 1, the prophecy turns. Rejection gives way to restoration. Alienation gives way to belonging. Hosea foretells a future reversal in which those once called “not my people” will be called “sons of the living God.” Crucially, this promise is anchored to geography—“in the place” where judgment was pronounced, restoration will occur—pointing to a concrete, historical fulfillment within Israel's own land.From there, we trace how the apostle Paul draws on this very passage in Romans 9:23–26, arguing that Hosea's prophecy is already beginning to be fulfilled as Israelites come to faith in Jesus the Messiah. This includes Jews living in regions historically associated with Northern Israel in Paul's own day. What Hosea foresaw, Paul recognizes as unfolding.At the heart of both Hosea's and Paul's message is a profound claim: Israel's unfaithfulness is not the end of the story. God will reunite Northern Israel and Southern Judah under one leader, restoring them to be the people He always intended them to be.And that matters—not just for Israel, but for us.Because if God can reverse Israel's destiny, He can reverse the destiny of the world. Their story is bound up with ours. Their restoration speaks to our hope. The God who refuses to abandon Israel is the same God who refuses to abandon creation itself.Key Passages: Hosea 1:1-2:1Romans 9:23-26Explainer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Video⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on how to use ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.biblehub.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.blueletterbible.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Leave us a question or comment at our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠website podcast page⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

PREVIEW — Richard Reinsch — Alienation in America: The Loss of Political Membership to the Supreme Court. Reinsch discusses the alienation of Americans resulting from the transfer of decision-making authority from state legislatures to the Supreme Court. The centralization of deeply intimate and controversial public policy decisions to national judicial bodies disconnects citizens from local political participation and community standards, generating widespread anger and frustration that fuels contemporary political movements demanding systemic change. 1905

From the smoky cafés of 1920s Paris to the curated feeds of Gen Z, this talk traces a century of growing alienation and the quiet ache beneath every age. We look at how today's neo-pagan culture offers counterfeit gods of sex, power, money, and self, and how events like the murder of Charlie Kirk jolted a generation into asking what is truly worth living and dying for. In the middle of this war between two altars (the pagan and Catholic), we explore why young adults are drawn to the beauty, ritual, and authority of the Catholic Church, and how we can accompany them into real transcendence, authentic community, and a life of courageous mission in Christ.  This talk was given at the Diocese of Arlington Catechist Conference on Nov. 15, 2025

North Carolina is one of 7 states that has an Alienation of Affection Law, which allows a spouse to sue a third party when they can prove they had a loving marriage until that third party maliciously seduced their spouse. The wronged party doesn’t even have to prove there was an extramarital sexual affair… it is solely about someone stealing a partner’s affection, that leads to the destruction of a marriage. Amy and T.J. go over the fascinating facts of this case and bring up one of the most famous examples of someone attempting to use the law against an American Idol alum.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
