It looks like setting fire to small explosives in the backyard will be one of those wacky stories you'll tell the grandkids about. You were able to set fire to explosives, Grandma? In the backyard? In your own home you let off little bombs? Yes, we did. Those were the days. A Parliamentary Select Committee has finally backed a ban on the public sale and use of fireworks. No one can really say they're shocked, surprised, knocked over with a feather by this, because momentum for a ban on public sales and use of fireworks has been building over the years, based on concerns over animal welfare, danger to life and property, and the number of police callouts. Danger to life is probably over-egging the omelette – certainly danger to limb. ACC's seen a number of cases every single year. 14 previous petitions have been presented to Parliament calling for a ban, but this is the first time the committee has recommended one. Committee member Greg Fleming, who loved a double happy and a skyrocket in his backyard, was initially against a ban but said the evidence presented was overwhelming. “We had three petitions come to us at pretty much the same time, and so we did the unusual thing of bundling them all up. So we heard from a range of submitters, and overwhelmingly the advice was to move towards seriously exploring a ban. In the end, the committee felt that we really didn't have almost any choice but to recommend that given the weight of evidence.” The Government has 60 days to respond to the committee – it's not done and dusted yet. But as well as the public backing, there's been support from Fire and Emergency New Zealand, the SPCA, New Zealand Veterinary Association, Veterinarians for Animal Welfare, and Animates. A formal process including cabinet consideration would follow, and it won't be done before this year's election. It'll probably end up being an election issue – you can see New Zealand First jumping on this one. I love fireworks, I absolutely love fireworks, but I do accept that the harm outweighs the enjoyment I get in my backyard. I'm happy to go to public displays, they can afford far better fireworks than I. It makes perfect sense to let off fireworks in Great Britain in winter, which is where the tradition began, but in New Zealand it's spring and it's nesting time. In England the sun sets at 4:30pm in November. In New Zealand it's after 8pm. ACC, as I referred to earlier, accepts roughly 300 new claims for fireworks related injuries in New Zealand every year. The costs exceeded $760,000 in 2023. Most injuries involve burns to hands and wrists, and in a shocking revelation, males aged 15 to 19 are most at risk. Children under 10 make up around 25% of all those injured. There were more than 1,500 firework related service calls for New Zealand Police. I can't even imagine how many there were for fire. Is it worth that kind of cost, that kind of disruption, to cling on to having bangers in your backyard? It's not an end to fireworks full stop. There will still be public displays of them. People will still be able to enjoy the incredible spectacle of fireworks filling the sky, choreographed fireworks, which are just beautiful. If it was an end to fireworks full stop, then I might dig my toes in, but on this one, this is not a hill I'm going to die on. Is it really worth it? It's the wrong time of year, it's not our tradition. I accept it as fun, but is it, given the cost, given the disruption, given the terrible, terrible injuries inflicted on animals every single year, is it really worth it?

“We've lost over 70 percent, 73 percent, I think the latest data indicates, of wildlife and mammals in the last 50 years. That's just shocking when you get that data, but then you ask, what can I do? What can I do? I wanted to move away from any guilt or compulsion because it doesn't work to talk to people that way. After 50 years of climate being in the news, in science, and in our schools, less than a fraction of 1 percent of people in the world do anything about it on a daily basis. How could that be? This is a civilizational crisis. For less than 1 percent to be engaged and do something means that our communication is flawed. I'm not saying the people are wrong, or the science is wrong, or the facts are wrong, but the narrative as a whole is not one that truly entices people or draws them in with a shared understanding of what we face and what to do about it. “Paul Hawken is a renowned environmentalist, entrepreneur, author, and activist committed to sustainability and transforming the business-environment relationship. He starts ecological businesses, writes about nature and commerce, and consults with heads of state and CEOs on climactic economic and ecological regeneration. He has appeared on the Today Show, Talk of the Nation, Real Time with Bill Maher, CBS This Morning, and his work has been profiled or featured in hundreds of articles, including The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Newsweek, Washington Post, Forbes, and Businessweek.

We are live, on-location at the TCL Chinese Theatre for the 19th annual Oscar Qualifying HollyShorts Film Festival, as the official podcast partner. These shorter, special episodes are with selected filmmakers. In this episode, Hae & Jack sit down with writer, director & animator Ethan Barrett of his animated short film “Rosemary A.D. (After Dad)” Logline: As he cradles his newborn, a father wonders if his daughter would be better off without him and imagines her life once he is gone. Completely hand-drawn with crayons. This film is completely hand-drawn with crayons. Each frame was individually captured on camera. Struggling with depression while caring for a newborn after his wife went back to work, Ethan had existential thoughts he decided to put down on paper. While it felt specific to Ethan, a surprising amount of people have experienced the same thing & have sine reached out to him.

One of the most prized objects in London's Victoria and Albert Museum is a life-size wooden tiger automaton that bellows and roars as it chomps into the neck of a very unfortunate British soldier. Crafted in the late 18th century in Mysore, India, this fascinating creation is at the center of Tania James' new novel of historical fiction “Loot.” The story follows Abbas, a 17-year old, the tiger's creator, as he travels from India to Europe and encounters a Dickensian cast of characters from noblemen to foes and friends that are all part of this epic quest. As reviewers note, the novel offers a “wry awareness of the distorting function of racism and colonialism.” We talk to James about her book.

Why it's a secret lab, deep in the Tammuz Corporation, can't you tell?" *************************************************************************************** Project Top Hat Cast: [Opening credits - Olivia] Landon Frost, TV show host Pamela Frost, his wife Fred and June Doctor Plasmus, top researcher Chambers - executive Dill - less important executive OLIVIA Did you have any trouble finding it? What do you mean, what kind of a place is it? Why, it's a Top Secret Lab, on the human side of the wall, in the world of zombies, can't you tell? MUSIC SOUND computer and lab noises LANDON [on TV] I'm Landon Frost, and tonight on "the Z word," we'll take a behind the scenes look at how zombies are used in the manufacture of your dog's kibble. FRED How can they feed zombies to dogs? JUNE Ambulates make the food - prepare it. It's illegal to terminate them without "just cause." FRED As opposed to "just cuz"? [laughs] JUNE Hah. That's what "the Z word" is about - exposing the ways zombies are exploited. LANDON [TV] You'll be watching this series throughout the holidays, and I'll be tucked up at home with my family. JUNE He's always busy. Hardly ever gets to see them. FRED Oh, boo-hoo. This Frost guy gets to fly all over the world, cussing on TV, and making zillions of dollars, and he wants sympathy? JUNE Don't forget taking his shirt off... [chuckle] But he's also a romantic - always talking about how he misses his wife Pamela. FRED So? He could retire. JUNE Helping improve "life" for ambulates is like a crusade for him. SOUND DOOR OPENS, CUTTING HER OFF FRED [muttered exclamation] Oh shit! SOUND CHAIR SQUEAK, SCRAMBLE LANDON [TV] I'll be meeting my wife in secret at‑‑ SOUND SWITCH, TV OFF DILL [coming in talking] We should be able to improve the bottom line. CHAMBERS AND not expose Tammuz to any more... liability. We are just starting to get back to where we were before Mrs. Skray's... DILL Unfortunate accident? CHAMBERS [grim] Breakdown. DILL Ah. CHAMBERS I need your personal guarantee this won't come back to bite us in the butt. DILL If it does, my butt will have your back. CHAMBERS What? DILL uh... nothing. Dr. Plasmus is expecting us. CHAMBERS Plasmus? What kind of a name is that? DILL Dunno. I only know results, and the good doctor facilitated the "crickets". Look what they've done to help us get back in good odor over the last 18 months. CHAMBERS [favorably impressed] MMmm. DILL And now - [announcing] Project Top Hat! SOUND DOOR OPENS SOUND MUSIC SCENE CHANGE TV DUDE [ON TV] Do you ever have behavior problems with your ambulates? ZOMBIE Grr. OLD LADY [pleased] Cricket!

SOUND MUSIC SOUND WALKING, DOOR SWOOSHES OPEN SOUND ZAPS and SQUISHY NOISES PLASMUS You're early. DILL Uh, no. It's - um - six? PLASMUS It is? Hmm. Well, just let me finish this, and-- SOUND BIG ZAP CHAMBERS What are you working on? PLASMUS Shh! DILL [hushed] Sorry, the doc doesn't multitask. CHAMBERS What? SOUND ONE FINAL ZAP PLASMUS Done. He means I do not work and talk. When you have worked directly in as many brains as I have, you begin to value each function for its own worth, and not merely as a gestalt whole. CHAMBERS Uh, right. So are you ready to gestalted [get started] now? DILL Gestalt isn't-- CHAMBERS I KNOW. PLASMUS It was a bit of a joke? [small dry chuckle] Am I right? CHAMBERS Yeah. PLASMUS I thought as much. I fear that the humor seat of my own brain has probably been left a wee bit underdeveloped. Oh well. Could be MUCH worse. I could have an atrophied hippocampus! [laughs riotously] DILL Uh, yeah. [toady laugh] CHAMBERS That would be unfortunate, indeed. PLASMUS [stops laughing suddenly] But you are not here for pleasantries. You are here to see what I have wrought! CHAMBERS Aha! So that's the smell in here. PLASMUS What? CHAMBERS Rot? PLASMUS [laughs] MUSIC SCENE CHANGE to TV LANDON What the fuck do you think you're doing? You can't have rats in any ambulate work area, you moronic lavat'ry brush! They may not decay, but can still be damaged - do you want to be the one providing your workforce with replacement parts every time rats gnaw a bit off? Or perhaps rats are the only protein going in to your fucking kibble? SOUND MUSIC DILL So now the doctor will demonstrate--? [hint] PLASMUS Have you forgotten the name again? DILL [uncomfortable] No. no, I just was giving you a chance to - you know - take the glory. PLASMUS You should have warned me. [sigh] It is project top hat for a very simple reason-- SOUND METAL CLANK CHAMBERS It looks like a top hat. Original. DILL And what does it do...? [hinting] PLASMUS Stop doing that. DILL Sorry. PLASMUS [launching into lecture mode] The ambulate workforce is sturdy, capable - albeit slow - and cheap, since all they require is chum, unlike human workers who not only need food, shelter, sleep, etc., but also WANT things. DILL [muttered] Zombies want things too. That's part of the problem. PLASMUS Shush. It is this volition which is the only real drawback to the use of ambulates for many sorts of work - and which gives rise to the various debates over ambulate sentience, and to use an inexact phrase - over their "personhood". CHAMBERS None of this is news. PLASMUS I am setting it up. So if there was a way to mix the useful qualities of the ambulate with the mindless diligence of, say, a computer, wouldn't that improve their value? CHAMBERS [interested] Yessss.... DILL Of course. PLASMUS So this mechanism will do that - replacing the corpse's brain with a limited function computer, only able to obey commands. CHAMBERS You specify "Corpse"? PLASMUS [pleased] Ah, you caught that. [chuckles] Much like the pre-edict abortion debates, this idealization of ambulates leads to the nasty question of when, precisely, one goes from human, to dead human, to ambulate. DILL You've seen the courtroom reality shows. MUSIC COURT REPORT We'll catch the plaintiff as she leaves. Missus Feinman, Missus Feinman? How do you feel about the jury's ruling? MISSUS Act of god, my eye! My husband had a very clear "do not reanimate" clause in his will - but that doctor failed to catch him at the exact moment to remove the head and prevent reanimation, and now he's stuck. MISTER [zombie moan] MISSUS I can't even have him decently put down, what with the iffy legal status of zombies. [sniffles] COURT REPORT [bland] You have our sympathy, I'm sure. In just a moment, we'll speak to the doctor and his attorney. MUSIC PLASMUS So we must catch them in that window - that tiny "between states" period when we can still legally treat them as objects. CHAMBERS And--? PLASMUS Remove the head. Once the head is gone, the body may yet convert, but does not move, as it has little sensory input to motivate it. CHAMBERS You remove the head? [Slowly gets it] And then you do - oh - ohhhh. The Top Hat. PLASMUS I see you are a quick thinker, Mr. Senior executive. Yes. The unit replaces the so-called "mind", by which we truly mean the physical brain, giving the animated carcass sensory input, all the while leaving complete control with the human controller. CHAMBERS Can the body re-animate, without the head? PLASMUS Do you know how the ambi-twist works? CHAMBERS The what? DILL [muttered] The T virus. PLASMUS No, no! That is a trademarked name and cannot be used without possible reprisal! DILL Sorry! That's what most people [call it]. PLASMUS I don't want to hear it! Besides, the ambi-twist does not make ravenous beasts. Animates are gentle. Like kittens. MUSIC COMMERCIAL AMB GROCERY SHOPPING SUSY Gee, mommy, Rolf pushes the cart real well, don't he? MOMMY That reminds me! We need to pick up some chum! ROLF [eager zombie noise] SUSY He knows THAT word! ANNOUNCER Of course he does, but can he tell the difference between Champion Chum and the bargain brand? MOMMY Is there a difference? ANNOUNCER Just ask Rolf! ROLF [sticky zombie eating noises] SUSY [laughing] Oh Rolf! ANNOUNCER Every zombie, every day, chooses Champion brand chum! MUSIC CHAMBERS They're tame enough with the cricket. If they were naturally docile, we wouldn't need it. PLASMUS And with the top hat, there will be no need for the cricket. Let me show you. SOUND CAGE OPENS CHAMBERS [horrified reaction] Oh! DILL ugh [bland] PLASMUS This stray dog was humanely euthanized, and the top hat was immediately attached-- SOUND COMPUTERIZED BARK PLASMUS We had to use a fairly large dog, so the top hat unit wouldn't overbalance it. It was designed for a human frame-- SOUND COMMOTION OUTSIDE PLASMUS What is this? SOUND DOOR SLAMS OPEN JACKIE All of you! Over by the wall! [to june and fred] Get in there! FRED Right, of course. JUNE Excuse me. Just - um - going through. CHAMBERS Who the devil are you? JACKIE I'm the one with the gun! And I said over by the wall! DILL She means it. Move it! Move it move it move it.... PLASMUS But the dog-- SOUND COMPUTERIZED BARK SOUND GUN SHOT INTO CEILING JACKIE And don't get any funny ideas. I'm not alone. CHAMBERS [reasonable and placating] Tell us what you want. JACKIE [almost a yell] I want you all over by that wall! SOUND COMPUTERIZED BARK DILL Already here! JUNE Me too! PLASMUS Allow me to-- [take the dog] JACKIE Leave that poor thing! SOUND COMPUTERIZED BARK JACKIE That is exactly the kind of horrid monster we're here to put an end to. PLASMUS Ah. Activists. [chuckling] CHAMBERS Don't mock the woman with the gun! PLASMUS Oh. Of course. JACKIE And what's behind here? PLASMUS No! Don't! It's not ready yet! CHAMBERS What IS it? SOUND CURTAIN OPENS JACKIE Mother of god! MUSIC SCENE CHANGE, AND then WUSSY POPSTAR I know all of you have heard and most of you have enjoyed my hit single "walking away with my heart" about the plight of the ambulate. ZOMBIE [pathetic moan] POPSTAR Too many of these poor once-human creatures are abused, neglected, and sometimes even abandoned to fend for themselves - forced to sell their bodies, bit by horrible bit, for the chum they need to survive. Can't you spare just a little - the price of a cup of coffee - to help? MUSIC CHAMBERS Just tell us your demands, and let's get on with this. JACKIE [horrified] What have you done to this man? PLASMUS It is not a man. It is a corpse. JACKIE It's moving. PLASMUS There's no one there. As you can see, the computer has taken the place of its entire head, thus removing all chance of-- CHAMBERS [hissed, annoyed] You didn't say you'd already done this to a human - [correcting himself] a human corpse, that is. PLASMUS I simply hadn't got to that part of the presentation, yet. JACKIE [distracted and horrified] But why? FRED Hi-YAH! SOUND THUMP, SCUFFLE DILL Wow. SOUND GUN GOES OFF DILL Stay back! JUNE [indecisive but encouraging] Get her, Fred! SOUND SCUFFLE ENDS FRED Got her. PLASMUS Can I have her as a specimen? JACKIE You can't do that to me! PLASMUS Of course we could. We simply record that you died in an attack on our security, and your corpse will be ...recycled. JACKIE NO! CHAMBERS That's a bit much, isn't it? PLASMUS [quiet] Drat. [up] Heh-heh. Of course. Just a bit of - intimidation. Hah. Hah. DILL Right. PLASMUS What this young lady doesn't seem to understand is that there are many people who don't wish to return as a shambling, slow, and stupid ambulate. Many would rather know that their mind - their "soul" - had been allowed to pass on. JACKIE How the hell do you think you're doing that? PLASMUS Cutting off the head. The body is still useful - as you can see. It can be of service to the living. JACKIE The soul isn't in the brain. The soul is - the soul. It will stay around no matter what. PLASMUS [derisive laugh] MUSIC SOUND PARTY! BRANDON And we're here on the dead side with the new years crowd! They start a week early, since they know it'll take 'em that long to arrive! Whoo! ARIA And the hottest thing this year is head swaps! BRANDON [prompting, not really questioning] Head swaps, Aria? ARIA That's right, Brandon! You know how zombies can cut off and attach body parts? They recently discovered that they can swap heads! They say it's totally the ultimate! BRANDON Unless they sew it on backwards! Man, that would be a pain in the ass! ARIA Yeah, but at least you could see your ass! BOTH [LAUGH] MUSIC CHAMBERS Where's security when you need them? JUNE I just called them, sir. Apparently, they've had a number of ...insurrections. DILL Must be how she slipped by. JACKIE You won't get anything from me! PLASMUS I suppose you two will have to take her to the security office for detention. FRED Gotcha. JUNE Oh, me? Oh all right. SOUND SHE CROSSES JUNE What was it she was looking at, anyway? [horrified gasp!] PLASMUS What's wrong? JUNE [too quick, very nervous] Nothing! I just thought it - he - it - moved. PLASMUS Nonsense. I haven't even woken the unit yet. Get along. JUNE [still nervous] Yes, yes of course! Come on! FRED What's wrong? JUNE [growl] Post traumatic stress! Get moving! SOUND THEY LEAVE PLASMUS Some people simply cannot handle pressure. Come have a look at my human automaton. CHAMBERS [slightly suspicious] He looks ... fresh. DILL Nice physique! CHAMBERS You didn't - uh - kill him, did you, doc? PLASMUS [laughs flatly] No. He was killed in a car wreck, this afternoon. His legs sustained some damage, but mostly superficial, and his head was completely severed. CHAMBERS How did you get him so quickly? The notice to the family won't even go through-- PLASMUS [pissed] I could not wait for petty family concerns when this perfect specimen fell into my very lap! And he is perfect! DILL Ew. PLASMUS So I snatched him out of the hospital upstairs. Besides. He is an organ donor. MUSIC INSURANCE Do you wonder about your insurance coverage? Concerned that you may some day cease to be human, and therefore void your policy? We here at Practical Undead National Trust can fix that for you. For only a few dollars a day, you, too, can have coverage that extends beyond the expiration of the body. MUSIC SOUND HALLWAY, DOOR SHUTS, FOOTSTEPS FRED Whew. Should we go back, do you think? JUNE [still bothered] I - I don't know. FRED OK, what's going on? JUNE Oh, Fred! This is horrible! FRED It was just a gun. I don't think she would have shot either of us anyway. JUNE Not that. FRED Then what? JUNE That body back in the lab? That perfectly sculpted torso? Did you see that tattoo on the shoulder? FRED Not my type. Sorry. JUNE [very important and horrible] THAT was‑‑ [cut off with a gasp] SOUND DOOR OPENS MUSIC LANDON [outside, loud over background noise] You would think this was a prime place for ambulates - garbage reclamation. SOUND CRUNCHING EQUIPMENT LANDON They don't mind bad smells, can't catch diseases -- and yet, most of the workers hired on at this particular municipal tip don't stay. Let's find out why. MUSIC CHAMBERS [gritted teeth] What do we do if there's a lawsuit? PLASMUS [shrug] If they push it, there is an incinerator in the basement, and as long as we first remove the computer unit, the organic evidence could be reduced to ashes in a matter of hours. CHAMBERS [annoyed, but not knowing] Do you even know who this person - corpse - is? PLASMUS [shrug] I read the driver's license. Why? DILL [confident] We'll fabricate records. Show it was cremated by mistake. Apologize. Give the widow some ashes and a check. CHAMBERS Sounds like you've done this before. DILL [smug] Things... happen. MUSIC BOB Come on down to Big Bob's bob-o-rama for the finest in pre-owed ambulates! We have 'em all from this big brute for heavy lifting-- ZOMBIE [deep moan] BOB To this hot little number, [hinting] nice for in-house work.

MUSIC NURSE I'm so sorry. There's been a little mixup. He's... um... missing. PAMELA [low snarl] As god is my witness, if my husband's body turns up somewhere - anywhere - on a celebrity zombie show, I will personally sue you, the hospital, Tammuz, and anyone else our lawyers can think of! NURSE But I-- DOCTOR What seems to be the problem? PAMELA Are you the person I should be screaming at? DOCTOR Well, I don't know about that-- PAMELA Then you best point me at the right one, since some screaming is well overdue. DOCTOR Just tell me - calmly - what this is about. NURSE It's her husband. PAMELA My husband's BODY, you mean! [starting to move from anger into tears] I was informed of his accident, that he was declared [suppressed sob] dead at the scene, and when I come to claim him... [deep breath, furious snarl] He's missing. NURSE I'm sure it's just a paperwork snafu. PAMELA AND I know how some of you bastards are about selling celebrity corpses!

PAMELA So no one has access to destroy the [falters] the ...evidence. SOUND DOOR OPENS, THEY PASS OUT AGAIN FRED Is that--? JUNE [fatalistic] Oh boy! MUSIC LECTURER We must stop treating ambulates as objects and start treating them as people - people very nearly like you and me. With a bit of practice, anyone can speak clearly and slowly enough for a zombie to pick up on it. SOUND ZOMBIE MOAN LECTURER If we could only follow the moans and groans of a group of zombies, I'm sure complete and fascinating conversations are going on, right under our disinterested human noses.

DILL This may actually be a very bad... thing SOUND A COUPLE OF ZAPS SOUND RUSTLE CHAMBERS Is that it? PLASMUS Do you need me to shout "it's alive"? LANDON [computer noise, not quite speech] DILL Ohhhh boy. CHAMBERS Does that thing make it able to talk? LANDON [machine, more gobbledygook] PLASMUS Ambulates have always been able to talk. They simply operate on a much slower scale than we do. It is something about the brain synapses, the ambi-twist simply cannot get them back to normal speed. DILL [prompt] They're how much slower than humans? PLASMUS I said not to do that. DILL I was just asking,. Really. PLASMUS They operate somewhere between 20 and 50% slower than humans. That is why they have to be spoken to slowly. LANDON [machine] Fuck you! PLASMUS [chuckles] Or not. DILL [gasp] Is it supposed to do that? CHAMBERS I thought you said that removing the head should negate the personality. PLASMUS I'm sure it is just something programmed in. My computer expert has quite a sense of humor. LANDON [machine] What the hell is going on? PLASMUS [worried now] Or... not. DILL This was supposed to make it docile! CHAMBERS At least the thing is tied down. SOUND RIP OF RESTRAINTS PLASMUS [frightened] Or... not! MUSIC TEACHER Turn to page 40. The chapter on the ambi-twist. Amy, will you start? [grade school students, who read more or less well] AMY The ambi-twist was a genetic modification first pioneered by Tammuz Corporation. BOBBY With the best of intentions, this benevolent corporation was trying to help people. CORA To overcome the issues with tissue rejection and make transplants one hundred percent successful. DESMOND But the ambi-twist went a bit awry. [after a pause] ELLIE [whispered] You have to read more. DESMOND nuh-uh. Not my fault it's a short sentence. ELLIE Fine! [ahem] The ambi-twist altered the genetic makeup of the intended cells, yes, but it did not stop there, instead running amok through the entire body and giving the cells a life of their own. FRANK Most of the population now carries the ambi-twist virus, which has little to no effect on them ... during their lifetime. DESMOND [spooky noise] ooo-OO-oo EVERYONE [joking zombie groans] MUSIC NOTE LANDON IS COMPUTERIZED FROM HERE ON OUT LANDON Why so gob-smacked? Where the fuck am I? SOUND THUMP GETTING OUT OF BED, FOOTSTEPS PLASMUS This is very bad. DILL It's coming over. Let me guess, it can see and hear through the computer unit too? PLASMUS [wry] Of course. What use is a unit that bumps into walls and can't follow orders? LANDON Is anyone planning to answer me? CHAMBERS Look, you. You've died and are now property. Just lay back and shut up. DILL Oh boy. LANDON No, you look here, you lump of festering dog turd! If I were dead, and I don't believe it for a minute - I have very specific contingencies in my will. PLASMUS [chuckles] Speaking of contingencies-- SOUND SHOTGUN RACKING PLASMUS I would call this experiment a conditional success. SOUND SHOTGUN BLAST MUSIC HUSHED MC And the ambulate "Gracie's darling" is now approaching the steps. This is a level three hazard, since it typically takes an ambulate several tries. Oh! She's on the first step! Very nicely corrected a stumble and managed to stick the second step. Ah, but she's faltering -- Momentum can only carry one SO far, and this is where balance truly comes into play. [gareth bowley] MUSIC SOUND DOOR SLAMS SHUT CHAMBERS Holy cow!

PAMELA He can't be mad enough to shoot me! CHAMBERS Oh, I'm flipping furious, lady! LANDON She doesn't mean that kind of "MAD", you festering moronic baboon! MUSIC INTERVIEWER We have an interview with someone actually on the scene. What precisely was going on? JUNE It was pandemonium! The ambulates were just walking away after the ... uh, stranger. Interviewer Like the pied piper of hamlin? JUNE Or like spartacus. FRED And when Mr. Chambers - I mean the defendant - shot Mrs. Frost-- JUNE We're not supposed to talk about that! FRED That's why they're pixilating our faces, isn't it? JUNE That's next week's interveiw - this one is live! FRED Oh shit. Oh! INTERVIEWER Now that you've started, you might as well finish. What happened next? JUNE [exasperated sigh] There goes our exclusive! MUSIC SOUND GUNSHOT LANDON Bastards! SOUND HIGH PITCHED WHISTLE SOUND ZOMBIE MOANS IN RESPONSE LANDON [snarl] Bring me THAT one!

What- [gasp] what are you thinking? LANDON Is it hard to implant the top hat device? PLASMUS It's quite simple really - the connections are made remotely inside the wiring, so the longer it is on, the more enmeshed the interfaces become-- LANDON Take this. SOUND CLANG OF DOG'S UNIT PLASMUS What do you--? [realizing] Oh. MUSIC INTERVIEWER But the zombies didn't harm Mr. Chambers? JUNE He wanted - Landon wanted for him to stand in a human court for trial. FRED He said something about rotting in hell, but his accent was getting really thick. JUNE He was crying! FRED He's a computer. I mean, the voice, at least, is computerized. Why would it get choked up? INTERVIEWER [to camera] Even now, Chambers is standing trial for the murder of Mrs. Pamela Frost. While the videographic evidence is very convincing, the lack of an actual body has been a point hammered on by the defense. MUSIC SOUND CRACKLE of STATIC, THEN FOCUS SOUND [both are clearly computerized] LANDON Can't broadcast too long, don't want you to trace us. PAMELA We want to reach out to everyone who has been affected by the blight that is Tammuz. LANDON Know this - relief is coming soon. For now, just walk away, wherever you are. We'll find you.

All humans live from and out of their deepest values. From where we spend our time, to how we budget our money, to the influences we allow into our lives, each of these reflect our values. Neighbors Church is spending this fall revisiting + establishing the values we want to truly live from as Jesus followers. Each week we will tell the story of how our values have carried us thus far and how they will shape our future as the family of Jesus.
Nancy Pearcey is the author of Love Thy Body: Answering Hard Questions about Life and Sexuality, as well as The Soul of Science, Saving Leonardo, Finding Truth, and Total Truth. She is professor and scholar in residence at Houston Baptist University and has been highlighted as one of the five top women apologists by Christianity Today, and hailed in The Economist as "America's pre-eminent evangelical Protestant female intellectual." Nancy Pearcey joins the show today to discuss her book Love Thy Body and the foundational religious premise that animates secular progressivism today. What has come to be called body-self dualism or the fact-value split, Nancy explains how this religious worldview drives every forward movement of the secular moral revolution. Rather than dealing in bits and pieces with these culture war issues, Nancy argues we must identify the underlying worldview behind it all if we're going to be effective. While secularism offers a hatred and dismissal of our bodies as the result of mindless, purposeless forces, Christianity offers a high view of our bodies as intrinsically valuable with a purpose. Seth and Nancy discuss the consequences of this key feature of “progressivism” and why separating our rights from our human nature ends in disaster and despair. And lastly, Nancy leaves us with positive ways to argue for the Christian view of the body against the culture of death and their assault on the Imago Dei.

Say It Skillfully® is a show that helps you to benefit from Molly Tschang's expert guidance on the best possible ways to speak your mind at work in a positive and productive manner. What happens when Mother Teresa is your role model? Over a billion people see your work! In Episode 81, learn from Molly's guest—extraordinary social innovator Firdaus Kharas, master of social change via animations that compel viewers to accept his messages and come to their own conclusion to change for the better. In Calcutta, Firdaus—influenced more by his pioneering, attorney Mother than Father (wanting him to be an accountant!)—saw poverty firsthand and knew his destiny was to do something about it. Aspiring to see 100 countries (now at 146…), he arrived in Pennsylvania as the 1st ever Bombay Rotary Club exchange student. Studying human rights, researching methods of torture, and working in Canada's immigration/refugee affairs were part of his schooling to improve the human condition. Believing that “people everywhere matter,” “we are one human family” and “we're all creative beings”, Firdaus talks of his eternal optimism, helping him confront the atrocities and injustices he aims to end. Motivated by impact, never money, he recounts his journey to build his media company and leverage his creativity—a breakthrough with UNICEF and epiphany of the power of humor in mid 2000, when his Three Amigos animated condoms appeared in 150 countries—widely credited for assisting the stopping the spread of HIV aids. His topics are many: human rights, health education/disease prevention, children at risk, environment, preserving culture, sexual violence, racism, to name a few. He talks of his two kinds of animation: behavior change communications and catalyst videos to ignite discussion that drive social change, and notes the irony of today's instant two-way communications bringing us closer, while populism that divides. How Firdaus is driven by his values inspires as much as his passion to make the world a better place for all. Tune in to hear how one human makes a world of difference, inspiring us to know no boundaries and to commit to taking action so that all can be safe, seen and heard, and our true and best selves.
