Tiffany Dena Loftin has been in this work for over two decades — from a TRIO student at UC Santa Cruz organizing against tuition hikes, to leading the United States Student Association, to fighting for student debt cancellation at the NAACP and the Debt Collective. She's a labor organizer, a voting rights strategist, a founding member of Freedom Side, and one of the most disciplined relationship builders in the movement. She also served on the advisory board when Dr. David J. Johns led the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for African Americans. Today, she steps into the classroom for the first time.This conversation goes everywhere it needs to go. They talk about how authoritarianism uses isolation as a weapon — and why people are making intentional, physical, sometimes spontaneous choices to gather again. They get into what it actually means to find an organizing home when you care about everything. Tiffany tells the truth about the Debt Collective, the SAVE program, and what borrowers sitting in default right now actually need to do. And she closes with a charge that lands hard: we are not going to get free being comfortable.We're dropping this episode the week of Juneteenth. The promise of freedom is real. The weight of this moment is real. Both are true at the same time.Find your organizing home. Not tomorrow.

Mentor Sessions Ep. 077: US Iran Failure, Bitcoin Bear Market Over & Yield Curve Control | Doomberg & James LavishThe Iran ceasefire just reshuffled global energy, dollar dominance, and Bitcoin's role as sound money — James Doomberg breaks down what it actually means for your portfolio in 2026.In this episode, Nathan sits down with James Doomberg — one of the sharpest macro and energy analysts in the space — to unpack the cascade of events reshaping markets right now. You'll learn why the Iran ceasefire is a bigger geopolitical pivot than most investors realize, how the SpaceX IPO may function as a financial suppression tool for retail capital, and why Doomberg believes energy markets are sending misleading signals driven by Chinese demand dynamics and a global overbuild. You'll also see exactly why Bitcoin and gold are rising in tandem — and why Doomberg argues monetary debasement makes that trend structural, not cyclical. Finally, you'll understand what yield curve control would mean for bond holders and why the K-shaped economy is deepening in ways that make sound money more critical than ever.• Sovereign Sessions — AI, Privacy, and Bitcoin education: http://youtube.com/@SovereignSessions?sub_confirmation=1⏱️ Timestamps:00:00 Bitcoin Bear Market is Over00:10 The Iran War Outcome00:26 China Flexes Oil Power00:35 K-Shaped Economy & Credit Card Defaults00:43 Yield Curve Control & Money Printing00:52 SpaceX as Financial Suppression01:09 Intro & Context06:25 US Achieved None of Its Objectives in Iran07:34 Gold & Bitcoin Bullish After Iran08:17 Bear Market in Bitcoin is Over09:40 A Profound & Historic Outcome10:20 US Dollar Dominance is Cracking11:10 Freezing Russian Assets Was a Catastrophic Mistake14:28 Bitcoin Bear Market is Over (Revisited)15:38 All Roads Lead to Yield Curve Control17:45 Multipolar World & Weaker Dollar19:29 Massive Money Printing is Coming24:26 Gold & Bitcoin Will Rip Higher26:32 SpaceX Ponzi as Financial Suppression32:07 The Lottery Effect & Tax Receipts37:20 K-Shaped Economy is Getting Worse46:27 Cantillon Effect Explained50:14 Oil is Going Way Lower54:39 What to Watch Next (Fed, Japan, Ukraine)

CoinDesk's The Policy Protocol hosts Rebecca Rettig and Renato Mariotti dig into the New York Times investigation of the CFTC and Kalshi's latest lawsuit against Minnesota before sitting down with Aaron Klein, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. Klein argues that independent financial regulators have been turned into "subsidiaries of the White House," warns that the CFTC is not structurally up to the jurisdiction CLARITY would hand it, and makes the case that the SEC and CFTC should be merged. He also unpacks lessons from Dodd-Frank and the savings-and-loan crisis.

If the IRS goes ahead and gives in to Donald Trump's demands for a MAGA slush fund, it would be outright theft of the public's money and corruption on a scale that we've never even contemplated in this country. What would stop him from plundering even more from the American people? Plus, Kash's ghoulish snorkel at Pearl Harbor, the Supreme Court's VRA ruling gave permission to practice discrimination, MAGA loves the racism and sexism of the 1950s, and the penile implant expert managing the Hantavirus outbreak.

On episode 131 of Native Land Pod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers field a listener question about whether it's worth voting when the ballot offers no candidate who actually represents her. It’s an especially potent question in light of redistricting, the recent Supreme Court gutting of the Voting Rights Act, and the chaos of states redrawing maps in the middle of an election cycle. FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS: GOP Rep. Jen Kiggans laughed and said "yes, yes to that" while a radio host told Hakeem Jeffries to "get your cotton-picking hands off of Virginia." Kiggans later claimed she didn't hear the "cotton-picking" line. Jeffries is calling for her resignation. All six conservative Supreme Court justices attended Trump's state dinner honoring King Charles the night before the Louisiana voting rights decision dropped — a ruling that further guts the Voting Rights Act of 1965. A new study found that people who regularly engage with arts and culture — reading, listening to music, visiting museums — may biologically age slower. The effect may even equal regular exercise. A suit has been filed against OpenAI over ChatGPT's alleged role in the Florida State University shooting that killed two people. Trump is calling Black women reporters names when asked questions he doesn’t like. First he called Rachel Scott of ABC a “b**ch” and then he called Akayla Gardner of MS NOW a “dumb person.” How does one even respond? Also, please join the All Roads Lead to the South event in Montgomery this Saturday! More information can be found here. MORE: Read the federal civil complaint for the above OpenAI lawsuit.

In a world of Epstein files, voter suppression and mansplaining lawmakers, Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal is a breath of fearless fresh air. She sits down with Brittany Packnett Cunningham to talk about everything from why the files matter to why some politicians still refuse to grasp the urgency of this political moment. Plus, Brittany links up with David Johns for a group chat on this Saturday's historic voting rights rallies in Selma and Montgomery, as well as why some people are confused about exactly where the South is.

“I don't think we thought about anything. We just did it!” - Genny Schorr, about her groundbreaking LA punk band Backstage PassBack in February, we had an awesome chat with musician, stylist, and “All Roads Lead To Punk” author Genny Schorr (AKA Genny Body.) With her band Backstage Pass, she was one of the original LA punks; blending punk with glam rock as they terrorized the Sunset Strip and challenging gender roles. Then she was stylist to the stars at the legendary Strait Jacket boutique, dressing the likes of the Bangles, the Go-Gos, Linda Ronstadt, and so so many more. (Check out Kathy Valentine wearing custom Strait Jacket on slide 6!) Genny is a lifelong music and fashion lover and devoted mom. Through it all, she's embodied the punk spirit: doing it yourself and not giving a hoot what anyone else thinks! She's not just “Genny-body,” she's a trailblazer with a story to tell. Plus: Emma recounts the mystery of the multiplying shelf screws? “Backstage Pass: An Interview with Genny Schorr” is available now wherever you stream your podcasts

It's a very special BONUS episode of Baxie's Musical Podcast with my guest Genny Schorr! In the late 70's Genny was the lead guitarist for Backstage Pass--one of the first all-female Punk Rock bands in history. She's just released her memoir, "All Roads Lead to Punk". It's a book that looks at her fascinating place in music. From auditioning for The Runaways, to turning down a chance to join The Go Go's, to becoming the wardrobe manager for both Linda Ronstadt and The Bangles. It's a hell of a story! Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and on the Rock102 app! Brought to you by Metro Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Chicopee.

On this week's episode, we're joined by Joe Philpott, songwriter, musician, author, and founder of both Rubyhorse and the White Horse Guitar Club, a Cork artist whose story spans ambition, burnout, reinvention, and rediscovery. From forming Rubyhorse as teenagers in Bishopstown, Co. Cork to chasing the dream across America, Joe's journey took him from local gigs to major label deals, billboard success, and appearances on US late night television. Along the way life on the road brought its own challenges. After years of touring coast to coast, navigating the collapse of the music industry, and living what Joe describes as an “outlaw existence”, the cracks began to show and he eventually stepped away. What followed was not an exit from music, but a transformation. Joe immersed himself in music and healthcare across Europe, working in hospitals, rehabilitation centres, palliative care, and community programmes, rediscovering music not as business, but as a service. That philosophy now runs through everything he does, including the White Horse Guitar Club, a collective built less on ambition and more on connection, presence, and shared experience. We also talk about his memoir, All Roads Lead to Where You're From: Bishopstown to the Beatles, written after a doctor's warning forced him to slow down and reassess. Whether discussing the influence of John Prine, or reflecting on advice he'd give his younger self, Joe speaks with the hard earned clarity of someone who's lived the highs and survived the troughs. Join us as we talk about American dreams, Cork roots, George Harrison's generosity, walking away at the right time, falling back in love with music, and why sometimes the most extraordinary things grow from the most ordinary beginnings.

This week, we tip our hats to the trailblazing all (or mostly) girl bands of alternative rock. Speaking of the trailblazers, today's ceremonial Third Lad certainly is one. As a musician and songwriter, Genny Schorr (aka Genny Body) was a member of one of the first mostly female punk bands in LA, Backstage Pass, along with past O3L guest Marina Muhlfriedel (aka Marina Del Rey), Joanna Spock Dean, and Holly Beth Vincent, later of Holly & The Italians (of “Tell That Girl To Shut Up” fame).  They were critical in the launch of legendary LA punk club The Masque.  They landed a track on Rhino Records' seminal LA punk comp, Saturday Night Pogo.  They played with, and their story intertwines with, a jaw-dropping list of punk, new wave, and rock heroes.  After Backstage Pass, she was invited to be in the Go-Go's.  She owned the influential rock n' roll clothing boutique Strait Jacket with Stiff Records' impresario Jake Rivera, which launched a long career as a wardrobe designer and stylist to the stars.  Many of those stylish videos, album covers, and magazine shoots you love from the ‘80s?  Genny had a hand in sculpting the look.  She lived with and toured with Linda Ronstadt as her personal wardrobe stylist as the singer transformed her image from new wave darling on the Get Closer tour to sophisticated starlet stepping in front of Nelson Riddle's big band.  She styled and toured with the Bangles at their peak.  But ultimately, All Roads Lead to Punk - which just happens to be the title of Genny Schorr's incredible new memoir of sex, drugs, rock n' roll and fashion fromHoZac Books.  It's not only a fantastic page-turner, but the photos and ephemera make it an indispensable time capsule of the era.  If you think the stories Genny shares on O3L are incredible...just wait til you read the book!

We return to the All Roads Lead to Amber podcast with a series of episodes that cover the controversial John Betancourt prequels to the Amber series, written in the 2000's following Roger Zelazny's death. I'll kick off the series with a discussion of how the project came to be, despite the explicit wishes of the author that no one else write in the Amber universe. I'll reference my in depth interview with Jane Lindskold, who lived with Roger in his final year, after Roger left his wife Judy.

Mike talks to writer, musician and stylist Genny Schorr about her new book All Roads Lead to Punk, her experiences in the Los Angeles music scene in the 1960s and 1970s, and her band Backstage Pass, which was a part of the early LA punk scene. https://gennyschorr.com/ Get the book, "All Roads Lead to Punk" here: https://hozacrecords.com/product/pre-order-all-roads-lead-to-punk-book-7-record-set-by-genny-schorr/ Please support the podcast by joining our Patreon at patreon.com/uglythingspod, where you can enjoy special bonus content plus much more.

What if everything we think we know about AI understanding is wrong? Is compression the key to intelligence? Or is there something more—a leap from memorization to true abstraction? In this fascinating conversation, we sit down with **Professor Yi Ma**—world-renowned expert in deep learning, IEEE/ACM Fellow, and author of the groundbreaking new book *Learning Deep Representations of Data Distributions*.

In this episode, the team breaks down the decision every IT services leader wrestles with: Grow, Buy, or Grow to Sell. You'll hear where firms typically hit operational ceilings, why acquisitions amplify your go-to-market (for better or worse), and what it takes to be truly “ready to sell.” We cover the cash and capability requirements behind each path, common traps (buying to fix sales, serial deals without integration, ignoring working capital), and a simple framework to choose based on time horizon, risk tolerance, and valuation goals. Whether you're building toward a premium exit or debating your next add-on, you'll walk away with practical steps to drive multiple expansion now.Three paths, three realitiesGrow (organic): sharpen ICP, offers, pricing power, utilization, and pipeline discipline.Buy (inorganic): clear thesis, cultural fit, day-0/30/90 integration plan, and post-close GTM.Grow to sell: clean financials/QofE-ready, recurring mix, concentration reduction, leadership bench.Decision drivers: time horizon, leadership bandwidth, cost of capital, integration capacity, risk profile.Valuation levers: recurring revenue %, margin quality, growth durability (Rule of 40/45), customer concentration, integration track record.Common pitfalls: buying to “fix” sales, underestimating change management and working capital, skipping playbooks.Playbooks that travel: discovery→close process, delivery runbook, ICP x offer matrix, integration day-0/30/90, KPI cadence.Outcome framing: optionality done right = two good outcomes (keep growing or transact at a premium).Thinking about building, buying, or prepping for exit? Revenue Rocket has led hundreds of IT services transactions and integrations. If you're weighing the path (or want a sanity check on the math) let's talk: info@revenuerocket.com KEY TAKEAWAYSAcquisitions magnify GTM—they don't fix it.Operational maturity decides whether you stall at ceilings or scale past them.If premium exit is the goal, optimize recurring mix, margins, and concentration now.Model post-close working capital and integration costs, not just purchase price.“Grow to sell” is a discipline game: clean books, durable pipeline, and leadership redundancy. RELATED EPISODESQuestions to Ask before you Consider an M&A initiative.

Dweezil Zappa – Go With What You KnowDweezil Zappa, the son of legendary composer and guitarist Frank Zappa, has carved out his own path as a musician, producer, and guitarist with a distinctive voice. Known for his virtuosic guitar playing and wide-ranging musical tastes, Dweezil blends elements of rock, jazz, funk, and experimental textures, always infusing his work with both technical skill and personality. By the time he released Go With What You Know in 2006, he had already built a reputation for adventurous guitar work and innovative projects, both as a solo artist and collaborator.Go With What You Know stands as a showcase of Dweezil's ability to merge complex musicianship with accessible grooves. The record features a mix of instrumental tracks and vocal numbers, highlighting his intricate guitar lines and keen ear for arrangement. While some songs lean into heavy rock energy, others reveal jazz fusion influences and melodic, atmospheric passages, creating a dynamic listening experience.Among the standout tracks are “Love Ride,” a fiery instrumental displaying Zappa's trademark precision and flair, and “All Roads Lead to Inca,” which reflects his deep connection to his father's musical legacy while stamping it with his own unique style. The title itself—Go With What You Know—suggests an embrace of authenticity, channeling what comes naturally rather than chasing trends. It's a philosophy that resonates throughout the album's shifting moods and textures.The album also includes contributions from a strong cast of musicians, underscoring Dweezil's collaborative spirit. Yet it is his guitar work that anchors the record, weaving through complex harmonies, soaring solos, and unexpected rhythmic turns. Whether tearing through rapid-fire lines or settling into a soulful melodic phrase, his playing is consistently inventive and engaging.Go With What You Know serves as both a personal statement and an artistic milestone, reminding listeners that Dweezil Zappa is not simply carrying on a family name, but expanding on a legacy in his own voice. The album blends reverence for tradition with fearless exploration, offering a rewarding listen for guitar fans and music lovers alike.
