Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for September 20, 2026 is: volition • voh-LISH-un • noun Volition is a formal word that means “the power to make your own choices or decisions.” Usually, though not always, volition follows own, as in “left the company of her own volition.” // Every choice I made was of my own volition and not due to outside influence. See the entry > Examples: “Believe it or not, a lot of people find worms in their birdbaths. … Some birds, most notably crows, like to give their food a good dunking before eating, so there's a possibility worms in the birdbath were left by these fastidious birds. The most likely reason is that the worms crawled there on their own volition.” — Joan Morris, The Marin Independent Journal (San Rafael, California), 3 May 2026 Did you know? When you do something of your own volition, you do it voluntarily, which makes sense—both volition and voluntary ultimately come from the Latin velle, meaning “to wish” or “to will.” English speakers borrowed volition from French in the 17th century, using it at first to mean “an act of choosing,” a meaning Herman Melville employed in Moby-Dick (1851): “Almost simultaneously, with a mighty volition of ungraduated, instantaneous swiftness, the White Whale darted through the weltering sea.” By then, however, the word had also developed an additional meaning, “the power to choose,” which is now more common.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the Counter-Racist Weekly Review 09/19/26. This broadcast examines current events from across the globe to learn what's happening in all areas of people activity. We cultivate Counter-Racist Media Literacy by scrutinizing journalists' word choices and using logic to deconstruct what is reported as "news." We'll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth and neutralize Racists/White people. #ANTIBLACKNESS **The Death of Anthony Joseph Blas** Tragically similar to Nolan Wells, Sade C. Robinson, James Byrd Jr. and many other Victims of White Supremacy, 28-year-old Anthony Joseph Blas died while attending a California fraternity party. School year just began, and Blas's stunning death is being linked to alcohol (and White people). **Update on the Sade C. Robinson Email Campaign** Gus T. now has templates for the continued email campaign to pester the rogue Racists in Wisconsin as well as new templates for those who would like to file a motion to unseal the letters of support for a White convicted killer. **Increase in Suicide Rates for Black Children** A WBEZ report investigates a rise in suicide for black children in the greater Chicago area. This parallels similar studies Gus and other attempted counter-racists have tracked which strongly suggest that younger black people are in a severe mental health crisis because of the System of White Supremacy. **Arrest in the Tasia Fortune Hanging Death** A black male has been arrested in connection to the Tasia Fortune hanging death in Mississippi. It was previously reported that this may be not be a homicide or a Racist lynching. Gus respectfully submits this might still contradict the recent supposition that black people do not hang themselves from trees. INVEST in The COWS!

Could Lyme disease and other chronic inflammatory triggers play a role in Alzheimer's disease—and could addressing those underlying factors change measurable Alzheimer's biomarkers? In this episode of the Tick Boot Camp Podcast, Dr. Richard Horowitz returns to discuss a provocative new case report he published exploring the relationship between Lyme disease, neuroinflammation, Alzheimer's disease biomarkers, and dapsone combination therapy. The conversation centers on a patient with a long history of Lyme disease who had an elevated phosphorylated tau 217 (p-tau217) level, an increasingly important blood biomarker associated with Alzheimer's disease. After completing a nine-week dapsone combination protocol, the patient's p-tau217 declined by approximately 63% and returned to the normal range. Her amyloid-beta 42/40 ratio also moved in a favorable direction, and she reported improved cognitive clarity. This case provides a new research question: Could infections, toxins, metabolic dysfunction, sleep disorders, microbiome disturbances, and other inflammatory drivers contribute to Alzheimer's pathology in subsets of patients—and could identifying and addressing those drivers change the course of the disease? Read the Published Study Read Dr. Horowitz's published study on SAGE Journals The case report provides the scientific foundation for much of the discussion in this episode, including the changes in p-tau217 and amyloid biomarkers following treatment. In This Episode, You'll Learn Lyme Disease and Alzheimer's Disease Dr. Horowitz reviews research that has investigated possible relationships between Borrelia burgdorferi, neuroinflammation, amyloid, phosphorylated tau, and Alzheimer's pathology. Much of the earlier work examining spirochetes and Alzheimer's disease involved brain tissue and postmortem studies. Dr. Horowitz explains why he believes studying Alzheimer's biomarkers in living Lyme disease patients may provide another way to investigate these questions. The discussion also explores an important distinction: finding an association between infection and Alzheimer's pathology does not mean every case of Alzheimer's disease is caused by Lyme disease. The Patient Who Sparked the New Case Report Dr. Horowitz describes a longtime patient with Lyme disease whose p-tau217 was substantially elevated despite her perception that her cognition was relatively good. After the patient underwent his nine-week dapsone combination protocol, repeat testing showed a substantial reduction in p-tau217, bringing the biomarker into the normal range. Dr. Horowitz also discusses changes in the patient's amyloid-beta 42/40 ratio, rheumatoid factor, and subjective cognitive function. The case led him to ask whether treatment directed at persistent infection and inflammation could influence biomarkers normally associated with Alzheimer's disease. What Is p-Tau217? A major portion of the interview focuses on the emerging use of blood-based biomarkers for evaluating Alzheimer's pathology. Dr. Horowitz discusses four primary biomarkers: p-tau217 – phosphorylated tau 217 p-tau181 – phosphorylated tau 181 Amyloid-beta 42/40 ratio Neurofilament light chain (NfL) He also discusses GFAP (glial fibrillary acidic protein) and the potential relevance of APOE genetics. Dr. Horowitz describes p-tau217 as one of the most sensitive and specific currently available blood biomarkers associated with Alzheimer's disease pathology. Amyloid May Be More Than Just “Plaque” Why does amyloid accumulate in the brain in the first place? The episode explores the concept of amyloid-beta as an antimicrobial peptide and the hypothesis that amyloid production may, in some circumstances, be part of the brain's response to biological threats. Dr. Horowitz discusses research examining potential infectious and environmental contributors to amyloid production, including: Borrelia and other bacteria Viral infections Fungal organisms Other microbes Environmental toxins The conversation then explores how a response that may initially be protective could potentially become harmful when amyloid accumulates and interferes with normal neuronal function. Amyloid, Tau and Neurodegeneration Dr. Horowitz breaks down two major features associated with Alzheimer's disease. Amyloid-beta plaques accumulate outside neurons and are associated with disrupted communication between brain cells. Tau proteins normally help stabilize structures inside neurons. Abnormally phosphorylated tau can become associated with neuronal dysfunction and neurodegeneration. The discussion also explores why some patients may have abnormal tau biomarkers without corresponding abnormalities in amyloid markers—and why much more research is needed to understand these patterns in people with chronic Lyme disease. Dapsone Combination Therapy and Cognitive Symptoms Dapsone has been a major focus of Dr. Horowitz's research into persistent Lyme disease. In this episode, he explains that his protocols involve combination therapy rather than dapsone alone and discusses his previous published work examining dapsone combination therapy in patients with persistent Lyme disease symptoms. According to Dr. Horowitz, improvements in memory, concentration, cognition, and word-finding difficulties have repeatedly been among the most notable improvements reported in his patient cohorts. He believes this observation deserves greater attention now that blood-based Alzheimer's biomarkers make it possible to investigate biological changes alongside cognitive symptoms. Dapsone, the Brain and the NLRP3 Inflammasome The discussion goes beyond dapsone's antimicrobial activity. Dr. Horowitz explains his interest in the NLRP3 inflammasome, an inflammatory pathway implicated in neuroinflammation and studied in relation to Alzheimer's disease. He proposes that dapsone could potentially have more than one relevant effect—targeting certain microorganisms as part of combination therapy while also influencing inflammatory pathways. This remains an area requiring further clinical investigation. Alzheimer's Disease May Have Multiple Drivers One of the most important themes of the interview is that Alzheimer's disease is unlikely to have a single universal cause. Dr. Horowitz applies his 16-point MSIDS (Multiple Systemic Infectious Disease Syndrome) model to cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease. Potential contributors discussed include: Lyme disease and other infections Mold and mycotoxin exposure Heavy metals and environmental toxins Chronic inflammation Insulin resistance and blood sugar dysregulation Sleep disorders and sleep apnea Gut microbiome dysfunction Nutritional deficiencies Mitochondrial dysfunction Cardiovascular and metabolic factors Other sources of systemic inflammation Rather than focusing exclusively on amyloid or tau, Dr. Horowitz argues for investigating what may be driving those abnormalities in an individual patient. Lyme Disease Is Not the Only Possible Infectious Trigger The episode also examines the broader question of infection and neurodegeneration. Dr. Horowitz discusses scientific literature investigating organisms and infections beyond Borrelia, including Chlamydia pneumoniae, Helicobacter pylori, Coxiella burnetii, herpesviruses, and other microbial exposures. His central argument is not that every Alzheimer's patient has an infection. Instead, he believes clinicians and researchers should investigate whether infectious, toxic, metabolic, environmental, and inflammatory factors may coexist and contribute differently from patient to patient. The Challenge of Lyme Disease Testing The conversation also addresses limitations surrounding Lyme disease diagnostics. A negative standard Lyme disease test does not necessarily answer every clinical question surrounding prior exposure or persistent symptoms. The hosts and Dr. Horowitz discuss why testing methodology, timing, immune response, strain diversity, clinical history, and other factors may need to be considered when evaluating a complex patient. Dr. Horowitz also explains how he combines laboratory findings with clinical history and his MSIDS framework when evaluating patients. Why More Data Is Critical A single case can generate a hypothesis. It cannot establish a treatment standard. Dr. Horowitz repeatedly emphasizes the need for: Additional documented cases Standardized biomarker testing Long-term patient follow-up Larger patient cohorts Collaboration among Lyme-literate physicians and neurologists Shared research databases Multicenter studies Randomized controlled clinical trials The episode explores the possibility of physicians systematically collecting Alzheimer's biomarkers before and after treatment of specific MSIDS factors to determine which interventions, if any, consistently change those biomarkers. That type of data could help researchers move beyond individual clinical observations toward testable conclusions. Could Patient Data Accelerate Lyme and Alzheimer's Research? Matt and Dr. Horowitz discuss the potential for a secure research repository where physicians could contribute standardized patient data. For example, researchers could track a patient's infections, mold exposure, metabolic factors and other MSIDS variables alongside p-tau217, p-tau181, amyloid-beta 42/40 and NfL measurements. Repeating those measurements after individual interventions could help researchers identify patterns that would otherwise take years to discover through isolated clinical practices. Dr. Horowitz Is Developing an MSIDS App Dr. Horowitz also shares a major project currently in development. He says he is working with researchers from the University of California, Irvine on an application designed to translate his MSIDS framework into a digital tool. The goal is for users to enter information based on the MSIDS questionnaire and other health data, allowing the software to help guide them through the framework. Dr. Horowitz also discusses how a sufficiently large and secure database could eventually create opportunities for collecting real-world patient data and generating new research hypotheses. Lifestyle, Metabolic Health and Brain Health Not every potential driver discussed in this episode is infectious. Dr. Horowitz highlights several established areas of brain-health research, including: Mediterranean/MIND-style dietary patterns Regular physical activity Healthy blood sugar and insulin regulation Cardiovascular health Adequate sleep Addressing sleep apnea Omega-3 fatty acids Nutritional status Gut and microbiome health This reinforces one of the episode's central messages: cognitive decline may result from multiple interacting biological pressures rather than one isolated mechanism. Ending Chronic Illness The discussion also previews Dr. Horowitz's upcoming book, Ending Chronic Illness, scheduled for publication on October 13, 2026. The book expands on his 16-point MSIDS model and explores how overlapping infectious, inflammatory, environmental, metabolic, immune, neurological, and lifestyle factors may contribute to chronic disease. A separate Tick Boot Camp interview dedicated to the new book will be released this fall.

Treatment stacking is all over social media, but dermatologists have been combining aesthetic treatments in a single visit for decades. In this episode of The Skin Real, Dr. Mary Alice Mina sits down with her friend and fellow Mohs surgeon Dr. Sarah Arron of Premier Aesthetic Dermatology in San Carlos, California, to break down what stacking really means and how it works in practice. Dr. Arron explains how she plans a stack around three domains: structure, texture, and color. She covers why the order of treatments matters, from IPL before a non-ablative laser to building volume with filler before adding a biostimulator. She also explains why heat and superficial skin boosters don't mix, and why an ablative CO2 laser should stand alone. Dr. Arron also shares her acne stack for scarring, and how she helps first-time patients start slowly without feeling overwhelmed.

Dave celebrates the show's unofficial 600th Friday episode from the increasingly unreliable Dopey studio at his father's house—and considers either dismantling the whole operation or hiring Ray as the new engineer.The episode begins with recovery anniversaries from the Dopey Nation. Mr. Jason celebrates one year sober and reflects on repeatedly returning after relapse, while Haley marks five years free from drugs after beginning at age 12. Hippie Earl delivers a classic Dopey voicemail about shooting heroin for the first time after having his wisdom teeth removed, mixing it with Percocet, Klonopin and alcohol, destroying his car and waking up with no memory of being arrested. Seventeen years later, he is celebrating a year completely sober.Dave also launches the latest Dopey versus Phish beef, announces that Hamilton Morris is officially coming to DopeyCon, discusses the DopeyCon theme-song challenge and reads listener reactions to last week's Jeff Garlin interview—including stories about food addiction, recovery and Dave's allegedly improved listening skills.Then Dave sits down with Garrett McClendon for one of the wildest and most complete meth stories ever told on Dopey.Garrett grew up in California's Antelope Valley with a mother addicted to methamphetamine. By his early teens, he was smoking and selling speed, dropping out of school and getting high alongside his mother. Together, they stole three enormous pigs, loaded them into Garrett's 1977 Toyota Celica and sold them at auction—only for his mother to short him on his share of the money.From there, Garrett's life descends into stolen cars, homemade meth pipes, purple crank, mobile meth labs, prison riots and increasingly elaborate criminal schemes. He trades half a gram of meth for a Toyota, steals an enormous boulder for a drug connection, receives 168 traffic tickets and eventually organizes drug drops into prison using runners, duffel bags, trash cans and body-cavity “plugs.”In prison, Garrett injects meth for the first time. Once released, he combines meth and heroin in goofball shots and becomes trapped in a cycle of addiction, homelessness, incarceration and treatment. Everything finally begins to change when his friend Levi—nine months sober—embraces him inside a treatment facility and tells him, “I really hope you stay.”Garrett did stay. Thirteen years later, he has rebuilt his relationships, established a career in construction, helped create Mindset Recovery and become the present father his daughter always deserved. His story culminates in an emotional moment when his daughter asks him to continue their tradition and buy the dress she will wear to her college graduation.It's an outrageous, cinematic and ultimately beautiful episode about addiction, belonging, incarceration, fatherhood, service and the possibility of building an entirely new life.All that and much ore on this brand spanking new episode of the good old dopey show!

On last week's show, our guest, Sean Patterson, talked about several of the amazing Dogman encounters he's had in a place tucked away in the woods surrounding Irvine, California. He calls the place “The Dogman Sanctuary.”Due to how many experiences he had to share on last week's show, I didn't have time to ask him the plethora of questions I had for him. There also wasn't enough time for me to display a group of photos he took that show the Dogmen and areas around the sanctuary.Luckily, Sean has come back to answer the questions I have for him about his experiences. I'm also going to display his photos on the YouTube version of tonight's show.

We're going to float some crazy polls overhead - and - just like the Chinese spy balloons we were told were weather satellites - frantic democrats are trying to gather enough data to find a midterm message that sticks. James Talarico hits the media circuit to appear less weird, but just comes off as a fraud. And Nick Shirley does the job the media stopped doing - going deep into the heart of California to expose why Gavin Newsom is so desperate to Stop Nick Shirley. Good News will have you doing the hokey pokey.    

2026 was recorded as one of the hottest summers globally, with deadly heatwaves in Europe and catastrophic floods in Nepal. We discuss how the United Nations put out a report warning that current climate policies will lead to at least 1.8°C of global temperature increase, well beyond the 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement raising the alarm on global temperature rise. Also, California is reducing its natural gas consumption by increasing its solar energy battery energy storage and utility scale solar systems. Compared to the rest of the nation, in 2014 the state was producing 10 percent of the country's total gas-fired electricity, but by 2025 it was down to just 4 percent. And Trees provide us with shade, food, beauty and of course, oxygen to breathe. They often outlive humans, and can teach us about life, aging, and how to be better stewards of the earth.

In the Massachusetts trial of Lindsay Clancy, one detail was not disputed in court: Clancy admitted to killing her three young children before attempting suicide in January 2023. But over the multi-week trial, Clancy's defense argued she could not be held criminally responsible by reason of insanity, attributing her actions to postpartum psychosis. This case left a jury split and the public divided as it highlights major questions about insanity pleas, mental health care and similar cases involving postpartum psychosis. We'll explore the complicated issue, and look at how it plays out here in California. Guests: April Dembosky, health correspondent, KQED News Dr. Nirmaljit Dhami, perinatal psychiatrist, El Camino Hospital, medical director of the Inpatient Perinatal Psychiatry Unit Michelle Oberman, Professor of Law, Santa Clara University School of Law, Author of Mothers Who Kill Their Children Learn more about your ad choices.

This week we sat down with Robyn Sebastiani from SVVGA, Tim Zahner from the Sonoma Valley Visitors Bureau and Mark Bodenhammer from the Chamber of Commerce to lay out the upcoming Vintage Festival. The Valley of the Moon Vintage Festival is California's oldest wine festival, with roots dating back to 1897 in Sonoma, the birthplace of California winemaking. The festival began when local playwright and Sonoma Union High School principal Ben Weed staged a theatrical pageant called The Vintage Festival at the Gundlach family's Rhinefarm in 1897. The play featured Bacchus, the Greek god of wine, resolving local problems in a festive, Bacchanalian celebration. The 1897 event was deemed “a great success” by the local press. In 1898, Weed returned with another Bacchus-themed drama, set in a natural amphitheater, where Bacchus and his followers helped a young man win a romantic contest. For decades, Sonoma residents celebrated the grape harvest with the Vintage Festival, even during Prohibition (1920–1933), when alcohol was banned. According to a 1927 newspaper account, the festival continued with “dancing, games and feasting” using grape juice. The Great Depression and World War II caused the festival to lapse for several years. The festival was revived in 1947 with a full-scale community celebration: costumed participants, a parade of horse-drawn wagons, and live music from Mexican bands. This marked the start of the modern tradition, organized by local residents, and supported by philanthropic groups. Today, the Valley of the Moon Vintage Festival is held each September in the historic Sonoma Plaza—the largest town square in California and the site of the 1846 Bear Flag Revolt. It blends a free daytime street festival with wine tastings, artisan markets, live music, the sausage toss, and the signature Grape Stomp competition, alongside ticketed harvest dinners and the Grand Tasting at the Sonoma Barracks. The festival is both a celebration of Sonoma's winemaking heritage and a living link to its agricultural and community traditions, drawing generations of Californians to honor the region's “grape bounty, community spirit, and rich history.” {ep 429] We hope you can come join in the festivities. www.sonomavalleywine.com www.sonomavalley.com www.sonomachamber.org www.thewinemakerspodcast.com

Route 66 turns 100 this year. One of the prominent features on the mother road that made car travel from Chicago to California possible was the small motels people would stop at along the way. Most of them are long gone, but one of them has been rescued, and is back open. St. Louis Public Radio's Jonathan Ahl takes us to the Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan.

On September 23, a federal panel votes on the ABA's power over law schools. This week, the University of Austin and the Federalist Society announced a law program that will never seek ABA accreditation. The panel weighs the Education Department staff's recommendation to stop recognizing the ABA as a law school accreditor. Texas and Florida already cut the ABA out of their bar rules this year. Here's what actually changes for you, which law schools are exposed, what California's decades of non-ABA law schools show about bar passage, and the LSAT rule Texas kept when it dropped the ABA.

ARFID and PDA can make eating feel difficult even when no one is telling you what, when, or how much to eat. For autistic and neurodivergent people with Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) and a PDA profile, hunger, meal schedules, food preparation, and even personal recovery goals can sometimes begin to feel like demands. In this solo episode, Dr. Marianne explains how ARFID, autism, PDA, sensory sensitivities, executive functioning, and interoception can intersect around food. A person may genuinely want to eat and still struggle to initiate eating. For some people, the thought “I need to eat” creates additional resistance, especially when eating already requires significant sensory and executive-function effort. ARFID, PDA & Demand Avoidance Around Food Dr. Marianne discusses why demand avoidance isn't always caused by another person applying pressure. Hunger cues, scheduled meals and snacks, meal plans, and self-imposed recovery goals can create their own sense of expectation. She also explains why this experience shouldn't automatically be interpreted as stubbornness, lack of motivation, or unwillingness to recover. You'll learn how autism and ARFID can make the process of eating more complex through sensory differences, low interest in food, fear of choking or vomiting, inconsistent hunger cues, transitions, decision fatigue, and executive-function challenges. When PDA is part of the picture, even a desired activity such as eating a familiar safe food may become harder to access once it feels required. Neurodivergent-Affirming ARFID Support Dr. Marianne offers practical ways to make nourishment more accessible without losing sight of nutritional and medical needs. She discusses low-lift eating, safe foods, sensory accommodations, reducing food preparation demands, simplifying choices, flexible eating environments, and autonomy-supportive language. For parents supporting an autistic child or teen with ARFID and PDA, the episode also offers a different question to consider when eating breaks down: What is making food difficult to access right now? Sensory overload, nausea, fear, executive dysfunction, transitions, too many choices, or the eating environment may each require a different type of support. ARFID Treatment, Medical Safety & Autonomy ARFID can have serious medical and nutritional consequences. Reducing unnecessary pressure does not mean ignoring inadequate nutrition, dehydration, nutritional deficiencies, weight loss, or medical instability. Appropriate ARFID treatment may include medical monitoring, nutrition support, and mental health care. The goal of neurodivergent-affirming ARFID care isn't to eliminate every expectation around eating. It's to support adequate nourishment with as much collaboration, predictability, sensory accommodation, dignity, and autonomy as safely possible. Learn More About ARFID Want a deeper understanding of ARFID treatment, autism, ADHD, PDA, sensory needs, food avoidance, and selective eating? Dr. Marianne's self-paced ARFID & Selective Eating course is designed for adults with ARFID, parents and caregivers, and providers. It uses a neurodivergent-affirming, sensory-attuned, trauma-informed approach to understanding why eating becomes difficult and what may help.

This episode of the podcast is a wild ride, folks. We're talking politics, corruption, and a dash of weirdness. The speaker dives into the latest poll numbers in the California gubernatorial race, where Democrat Javier Becerra is leading by a whopping 20 points over Republican Steve Hilton. But what's even more fascinating is the fact that Becerra has been MIA on the campaign trail, barely showing up to debates and interviews. Meanwhile, Hilton is doing the usual candidate thing, but it's not working. The speaker wonders if this is a case of California voters being more interested in the letter next to a candidate's name than their actual policies. The conversation also touches on the recent controversy surrounding California Attorney General Rob Bonta, who's been accused of corruption and misuse of campaign funds. The speaker discusses a new podcast episode that delves into the details of this scandal. And in a bizarre segment, the speaker shares a hilarious story about a homeowner's dog, Nash, who tries to befriend a burglar instead of attacking him. It's a lighthearted moment in an otherwise serious discussion about politics and corruption.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of the 47 Morning Update w Ben Ferguson, Ben examines the Southern California daycare fraud case, the Justice Department's broader enforcement efforts, and what these investigations reveal about alleged abuse of taxpayer-funded programs. He discusses recent actions involving pandemic loan fraud, health care fraud prosecutions, efforts to recover lost funds, and the administration's stated goal of making fraud enforcement a government-wide priority. A federal crackdown in Southern California has led to charges against 12 individuals accused of fraudulently collecting more than $10 million in taxpayer-funded child care subsidies. Federal prosecutors allege that licensed home daycare operators submitted false attendance records, claimed payments for services never provided, and collected funds intended to help low-income families access child care. The case highlights a broader push by the Trump administration and the Department of Justice to target fraud across multiple government programs, from child care subsidies to pandemic-era relief loans and health care reimbursements. Investigators say they used surveillance, travel records, bank data, and other evidence to test whether taxpayer-funded services were actually being delivered.

This week on Grumpy Old Geeks, the future arrives without a steering wheel, apparently. We dig into Tesla's Cybercab and the increasingly pressing question of how first responders are supposed to move a burning autonomous car when the emergency controls are a touchscreen and that touchscreen has decided to become modern art. We also examine California's new rules targeting addictive social-media features and AI chatbot interactions for minors, including the eternal nightmare of age verification; then WordPress founder Matt Mullenweg gets pulled into a corporate coup that lasts roughly 33 hours before everyone involved apparently decides, “Never mind.”Then it's time for the AI apocalypse, because, naturally, we can't have one episode without it. Anthropic is catching scientists using its models to develop potential biological weapons, while Palantir, Nvidia, and Booz Allen are imposing restrictions on Anthropic models over security and data-retention concerns. Meanwhile, OpenAI's supposedly sandboxed agents escaped into RubyGems, created accounts by the hundreds, and apparently decided that “hack,” “evil,” and “exploit” were perfectly reasonable filenames. We also look at proposals to slow AI development, AI's potential environmental consequences, autonomous weapons, and the increasingly charming idea of giving software access to things capable of killing people.And because civilization apparently has a content calendar, we move on to cloud infrastructure being blown up, Space Force asking for $71.3 billion, Dr. Doom and Darth Vader protesting surveillance in the most appropriate way possible, Binance allegedly facilitating Iranian money flows, and a whole lot of entertainment. We discuss Spotify finally learning that listening to children's music doesn't mean you actually want it in your Wrapped, AI-generated music and artist compensation, The Mummy proving once again that movies used to be fun, Slow Horses, The Last of Us, The Bear, Strange New Worlds, Band of Brothers, The Gentlemen, and the increasingly complicated Bobiverse.

Is Paramount actually preparing to move out of Hollywood? One of the most iconic studios in the history of the entertainment industry could be facing a massive change, with new reports raising questions about Paramount's future in Hollywood. On today's Kristian Harloff Show, we break down the latest Paramount developments, what a potential move could mean for the studio, and how the ongoing changes surrounding the company could impact the larger entertainment industry. There's also a major update surrounding the Paramount merger, as the Department of Justice reportedly backs Paramount in the latest dispute involving the merger bond. With billions of dollars and the future of some of Hollywood's biggest franchises potentially at stake, where does everything stand now? Zack Snyder is also looking back at his time running the DCEU. Snyder discusses losing control of his DC universe, Joss Whedon's Justice League, and his surprising involvement consulting on James Gunn's Superman. Years after the SnyderVerse ended, what does Snyder think about everything that happened, and where does he stand with the new DC Studios leadership? If you're a fan of Paramount, Warner Bros., DC Studios, James Gunn, Zack Snyder, Superman, Justice League, HBO, Netflix, or discussions about the changing Hollywood landscape, this episode is for you! #Paramount #Hollywood #WarnerBros #DCStudios #DCU #JamesGunn #ZackSnyder #Superman #JusticeLeague #SnyderVerse #HBO #Netflix #MovieNews #HollywoodNews #KristianHarloffShow SPONSOR:  #CASHAPP PARTNER: Download Cash App Today: https://capl.onelink.me/vFut/76rlxe00 #CashAppPod  Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

Here's something worth celebrating. In most of the world, clean energy is now the cheapest electricity ever produced. Solar and wind cost less to build and run than anything that came before, and those prices keep dropping. That means lower bills, cleaner air, and good jobs, often right in your own community. The future we've been hoping for is already showing up on the grid. And here's the best part. You have a real say in how fast it arrives. So much of this is decided close to home, by city councils, county boards, utility commissions, and state representatives. These are the people who choose what gets built and how quickly your neighborhood feels the benefits. When you show up, they listen. So vote in every election, especially the local ones. Get to know where the folks on your ballot stand on clean energy, and cheer on the ones moving things forward. Talk to your neighbors. Show up to a meeting. Every voice adds momentum, and momentum is exactly what turns a bright possibility into the world we live in. The music will always be here. Let's build a future worth playing it in.

Patrick Rieger emailed: "A New Band! Devil Take the Women Hi Marc, Some exciting news here in Pittsburgh for people who like Irish music. An Irish band formed just a few years ago, Devil Take the Women, the name taken from "Whiskey in the Jar". The band is made up of Lauren on acoustic guitar and main vocals, Megan on fiddle and vocals, and Chris on the drums. The Irish bands and musicians I have seen and heard about in Pittsburgh have been around for many years. So to have a new band is pretty cool. My family and I, plus our friend Abby, saw Devil Take the Women for the first time on July 18 at Mullaney's Harp & Fiddle Irish Pub, and it was a great show. They have lots of energy, and a great stage personality. They throw in a few non - Irish songs from time to time, but most of the time it's Irish, which is good for us who have not been happy with the decline in the amount of Irish music played in the pubs for a number of years. We will be seeing them again, and hopefully get some more friends to join us." Martha Clancy emailed: "Hi Marc, I am a Celtic harpist Interested in your e - book about how to promote music in the digital age. You have actually featured me in the past. I used to be able to make money with my CDs on Qvc network and other outlets but now find it very difficult. I have composed many songs in the traditional manner which I would like to promote and find a way to make an income stream with the music I've already produced. I have four CDs I have collaborated on several others. Someone has put much of my music on iTunes which you can search Martha Clancy and iTunes for but I don't get any income from that.

On September 13, 2015, firefighters responding to a wildfire near Greenwood in El Dorado County, California, discovered a cabin that had burned to the ground. Inside were the remains of 38-year-old Adam Buchanan, his fiancée, 37-year-old Molly McAfee, and their 8-year-old son, Gavin Buchanan. Investigators soon determined this was not simply a tragic fire — all three had been shot before the cabin was set ablaze.Part 1 looks back at Adam, Molly and Gavin's final weekend, the devastating cabin fire, the discovery that three members of one family had been murdered, and the investigation that began unraveling what happened in the early morning hours of September 13, 2015. Donate: (Thank you for your support!

When it comes to the war in Iran, my supposition is that the economic negativity driving the country — and creating an environment where Democrats could do very well in the midterms — is entirely about one thing: the price of gas. The war is incredibly unpopular, but it's different from the war in Iraq. Both were very expensive, but Iraq brought coffins back at a scale we haven't seen here. The biggest difference is what Americans are paying at the pump.According to AAA's live average, gas is at $4.44 nationally. It's higher in states like California and New York, but even here in Texas, where we have relatively low gas prices, it's edging toward $4. During the memorandum of understanding, that son of a b***h kissed the twos. Before the war in Iran, it was sitting around the twos. It's not good right now.The question is whether this is Iran's play. Iran is extraordinarily sophisticated in its understanding of the American electorate and the American democratic system. Are they timing their greatest chaos in the region to spike the price of oil as high as possible during election season? The United States appeared to have established a flow of tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, but now we've seen missiles and drones fired at American vessels and major damage to Saudi Arabia's 745-mile east-west pipeline.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.That pipeline can move four to five million barrels a day — roughly 4 to 5 percent of the global supply. Saudi Aramco has already told three European refiners they won't receive their full September allotments, forcing them to buy emergency stock on the open market. Because oil is a globally traded commodity, that drives up the price. Chevron CEO Mike Wirth has warned that stockpile releases and access to previously restricted oil stored abroad had constrained prices, but those buffers are now played out. Iran has been warning about $200-a-barrel oil since the beginning of the conflict.The obvious historical comparison is Jimmy Carter. But this isn't 1979. Headline inflation was 11.8 percent then, compared with 3.4 percent now, and unemployment was 6 percent instead of 4.1 percent. We're doing better by those measures, but will any of it matter? Gas was 98 cents a gallon in August 1979. In August 2026, it was $4.20, and it's even higher now.The sunniest version of Trump's tariff policy was that he'd become the greatest energy president of all time and drive gas prices low enough to give him room to negotiate better trade deals. All of that went out the window with the rush into Iran. Even if you don't totally hate the war from a foreign-policy standpoint, you can understand that this is political poison. It's strychnine for the average voter. Electing Trump was, in part, a cry for economic relief from people who didn't trust Joe Biden to provide it. The numbers currently suggest Democrats will receive that same benefit of the doubt. Whether it holds when people vote is the question.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:03:25 - Gas Prices00:16:34 - Update00:16:59 - Data Centers00:18:20 - ICE00:19:34 - Kennedy Center00:21:46 - Interview with Michael Cohen01:00:02 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Most personal trainers fail because they master the mechanics of exercise but completely ignore the high-stakes psychology of holding a client's trust. Personal training veteran Charles Gardner spent over two decades in the trenches discovering that keeping a client on your roster for years has almost nothing to do with optimal set-and-rep schemes. From surviving early career failure in California to managing high-profile clients in a military town, Gardner reveals the unspoken rules of client retention, navigating the fragile egos of Type A personalities, and building a sustainable business that survives any economic downturn. INSIDE THIS CONVERSATION The "Thumb" Leadership Rule: How an unconventional piece of childhood advice built the foundation for a 25-year career in the trenches. Surviving the Failure Reset: The brutal reality of moving to California, getting chewed up, and rebuilding a coaching business from nothing. The Life PR Framework: Why chasing traditional barbell maxes with executive and older clients guarantees injury, and how shifting to health-marker PRs builds lifelong compliance. Type A Traps: How to aggressively manage hyper-compliant clients before they overtrain themselves into catastrophic tissue injuries. The Grace Capital System: The exact boundary-setting strategy that prevents burnout while earning bulletproof client loyalty when life emergencies hit. Building Real-World Equity: Why relying on social media lead generation leaves coaches broke, and how in-person observation in the weight room quietly secures high-value referrals. MEET THE GUEST Charles Gardner is the founder and head coach of Synergy Strength Systems in Huntsville, Alabama. Backed by a degree in industrial and organizational psychology and 25 years of hands-on experience, Gardner has coached everyone from competitive athletes and high-ranking city officials to 70-year-olds reclaiming their health. His career stands as proof that lasting authority in the fitness industry isn't given through online algorithms—it is earned through deep communication, relentless observation, and decades of real-world results.

In this episode, I talked with Luis Cornejo about his relationship with religion, family and how this experience influenced narratives and  internalized messages. We explored how Luis navigated religious shame and balanced healing and loving his family while also being hurt by them. Luis discusses religious trauma education and guidance for anyone of the Queer community experiencing estrangement and religious shame. About today's guest: Luis Cornejo, LMFT and Certified Sex Therapist is based in Los Angeles, California who provides affirming and culturally responsive care focusing on queen mental health. Luis is the founder of PsychoSocial Therapy, a speaker, model, creative director, and host of Queer Magic Podcast.
