AP correspondent Laurence Brooks reports on the trial of Apple Daily founder Jimmy Lai in Hong Kong.

Alors que Trump et Poutine se sont rencontrés hier durant des heures et que rien de clair n'en est sorti. Alors que Trump a déroulé le tapis rouge à Poutine sans obtenir aucune concession. Alors que Trump maltraite tous les chefs d'état (y compris les alliés des USA) à l'exception notable de Poutine... La question se pose plus que jamais de la nature des relations entre les deux hommes. Cet entretien n'apporte aucune réponse définitive, mais propose des pistes de réflexion intéressantes au vu de l'actualité.Dans cet épisode, je reçois Antoine Vitkine, réalisateur du documentaire "Opération Trump: les espions russes à la conquête de l'Amérique". Nous examinons l'influence potentielle de la Russie sur Donald Trump en période électorale et investiguons les ramifications politiques et sociales de cette thèse. Vitkine éclaire le jeu de pouvoir international en partageant des témoignages d'anciens espions et experts sur les stratégies d'infiltration de Moscou. Nous analysons les relations Russo-américaines, la manière dont Trump a évolué vers des positions prorusses, ainsi que les allégations d'ingérences durant sa campagne. La discussion aborde aussi l'impact de la désinformation moderne et l'importance d'une consommation critique de l'information pour naviguer dans un paysage médiatique complexe.Interview enregistrée le 31 octobre 2024 dans les studio de PlinkDe quoi parle-t-on ?00:07 - Élections et Influence Russe01:57 - Rencontre avec Antoine Vitkine04:12 - Méthodologie et Enquête09:00 - Structures de l'Ombre10:32 - La Stratégie Russe13:38 - Contexte de Trump et la Russie20:13 - Le Voyage de Trump en 198731:25 - Rapprochements et Financements33:58 - Ambitions Présidentielles de Trump42:27 - Ingérence Russe et Élections de 201646:24 - Trump au Pouvoir et Influence Russe59:28 - Situation actuelle en Ukraine01:02:08 - Changement dans la politique de Trump01:04:32 - Ingérences russes en Europe01:13:25 - Ingérence russe dans les élections françaises01:19:59 - Arguments pour contrer le soutien à la Russie01:29:10 - Construire une connaissance critique01:35:03 - Livres à lire absolument----Retrouvez tous les épisodes et les résumés sur www.sismique.frSismique est un podcast indépendant créé et animé par Julien Devaureix.

A New York federal court judge has rejected the motion filed by DOJ/Pam Bondi/Todd Blanche to release the grand jury transcripts in the Ghislaine Maxwell case.According the ABC News, Judge Paul Engelmayer issued a lengthy opinion, criticizing the "Department of Justice for using 'demonstrably false' reasoning to justify the release of grand jury testimony." The judge also said releasing the transcripts would not reveal any new information of any consequence, and that it looked like an effort by the DOJ to give the illusion of transparency and full disclosure, adding that "There is no there, there."For nightly live Law Talks, please join Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comIf you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On the Wednesday, Aug. 13 edition of Georgia Today: A court hears arguments over Georgia's controversial voting law; the newly assembled Pierce County Library Board in Southeast Georgia has its first meeting after the library's manager was fired over a book display; and plans for light rail on the Atlanta Beltline take shape. 

In part C of VanDyke's Republican dissent in our series of dissents in the en banc resolution of Duncan v. Bonta (Ninth Circuit Federal Court of Appeals, 20 March 2025), we continue covering his reductio ad absurdum form of argument. This episode is part 3 of Judge VanDyke's epic dissent to that resolution which caught a lot of controversy because part of his dissent was a link to the following website : https://www.ca9.uscourts.gov/media/23-55805/opinion , which, as you'll see, does not go to the Ninth Circuit federal government website but instead goes to YouTube, the Ninth Circuit's YouTube channel. The link for the en banc opinion of the Court as well as the dissents covered here can be found here : https://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opinions/2025/03/20/23-55805.pdf These materials, the text and the video linked within the text of Judge VanDyke's dissent are in the public domain and have no copyright restrictions upon them. I have done the best I could, given the technology, to make a fair use of them with a transformative reading for educational purposes only. The controversy around the video includes not merely that Judge VanDyke, a Trump appointee to the Court, included video as a supplement embedded within his dissent, which he (and the Court) clearly consider to be official parts of his dissent, but what he filmed there in the federal courthouse in Reno, Nevada (probably, since that's where his chambers are according to the US Ninth Circuit's seniority website). He filmed, in his chambers, wearing his black robe, with views on the video to the tune of hundreds of thousands, a tote bag with his own guns, his own handguns, real firearms. He mentioned that the firearms used for the video were rendered inoperable, unloaded, and safe for purposes of the educational part of the dissent. He claimed to be filling in missing background information useful for understanding the record before the court, not for supplementing the record per se with his, the Judge's, testimony -- something that would be not only unusual but inappropriate. I'd love to hear what you think in the comments. The Republican Professor is a pro-correctly-articulating-civil-liberties podcast. Therefore, welcome Judge VanDyke . The Republican Professor is produced and hosted by Dr. Lucas J. Mather, Ph.D.

YOUTUBE | APPLE | SPOTIFY Episode Overview: In this episode, Jen addresses a listener's question about the anxious-avoidant dynamic in relationships, specifically regarding how disagreements tend to escalate quickly between them and their partner. Jen explores the underlying attachment styles at play, offering practical advice on how couples can break free from this exhausting cycle and communicate more effectively despite their nervous system reactions. Key Takeaways: The anxious-avoidant dynamic is a common issue in relationships and can be understood through attachment theory. One partner may feel a need to get closer during conflict (anxious), while the other shuts down to cope (avoidant). Understanding this dynamic is the first step towards healing. Creating pauses and giving each other space to regulate your nervous system can help break the cycle. Jen outlines a few strategies to manage your nervous system in the heat of the moment, including grounding techniques and gentle movements to interrupt the freeze state. Reframing the conflict by naming the cycle and seeing it as a shared experience can lead to more compassion and connection. Jen's Response: Jen dives into the listener's experience, explaining how both anxious and avoidant attachment behaviors stem from a deep desire for safety and connection, albeit in different ways. She encourages listeners to pause in the middle of conflict, use a “safe word” to de-escalate, and regulate their nervous systems before continuing the conversation. She also suggests reflecting on the cycle together outside of the argument, creating space for both partners to recognize their emotional triggers and meet each other with understanding. Actionable Steps for Breaking the Cycle: Create Pauses During Conflict: Use a pre-agreed "safe word" (like "Abacus") to signal when a break is needed. Care for Your Nervous System: Practice grounding exercises such as feeling your feet on the floor, using calming scents, or small intentional movements. Reframe the Cycle: Discuss your patterns when you're calm, acknowledging both partners' triggers and reactions. Communicate from a Place of Safety: Share needs like reassurance or time to reflect on the argument in a compassionate way. Resources Mentioned: Free Relationship Cycle Worksheet: Track Negative Cycles Workbook – A downloadable resource to help couples map their communication patterns and break the cycle. Jen's Weekly Class: Weekly Masterclass on love, attachment, and trauma healing – Join Jen live every Monday at 7:30 AM (Australia) or Sunday at 5:30 PM (Eastern Time, US) for in-depth discussions on healing attachment patterns.

After nearly four decades of marriage, Kim and Russ had done the hard work. They had raised five children, invested in professional counseling, read marriage books, and sought spiritual guidance. And still, something was missing. The breakthrough moments they experienced through the years never seemed to last. They still longed for a deeper connection and the kind of love they had always dreamed of. The Pain of “Almost” Fxixing It Kim felt emotionally unsafe for far too long. Arguments were frequent, and intimacy had become something to endure rather than enjoy. She said, “We spent tens of thousands of dollars on counseling… but nothing stuck.” They had learned communication tools, gone on retreats, and practiced new habits—but it felt like patchwork. They both feared they'd never experience the closeness they longed for. What Made This Marriage Transformation Different When a close friend experienced radical transformation in her marriage through our program, Kim and Russ took notice. Russ joined the men's program first—not out of crisis, but out of conviction. He realized he hadn't been loving Kim as Christ loved the church (Ephesians 5), and he wanted to grow. As Russ surrendered his old ways, Kim noticed a clear shift. He was more present, more loving, and no longer reactive. Over time, her heart softened too. Though initially hesitant, Kim eventually joined the women's program, encouraged by the changes she saw and her own desire to grow. "I wanted to catch up," she shared with us. The Breakthrough They Couldn't Find Anywhere Else What set this experience apart wasn't just the information—it was the biblical framework, practical tools, and deep community that made lasting transformation possible. Together, they: Ended their cycle of arguing Rebuilt emotional safety and trust Restored intimacy in every sense—physical, emotional, and spiritual Learned how to love and respect one another as God intended Russ shared with us, "I've been in church all my life, but I never really learned how to live out Scripture in my marriage. This taught me how.” A Marriage They Never Thought Was Possible Today, Kim and Russ say their marriage is “a 9 or 10.” Not because it's perfect—but because they've been changed from the inside out. They speak with laughter and warmth. They tease each other. They still work through conflict—but without yelling, shutdowns, or spirals that last for days or weeks. Now? They hold hands again. They share their hearts freely. They support each other's needs—spiritually, emotionally, physically. Russ opens the car door for Kim every time. And she waits for him to do it. Healing Beyond Just the Two of Them The impact of their transformation has rippled outward—into their relationships with their grown children, with friends, and even in their church. What used to feel tense or guarded has become relaxed. Warm. Full of grace. When asked to describe their marriage today, each responded with one word: 'Delight' (Russ) & 'Thankful' (Kim). That's not where they began. But by God's grace—and a willingness to grow—they now live in daily gratitude. For the peace in their home. For the tenderness in their marriage. And for the God who redeems all things.   Blessings, The Delight Your Marriage Team   PS - Are you were Russ & Kim were before? 35+ years into marriage and feeling defeated and discouraged?

PPPS - Here is a quote from (another) recent graduate: "Often my wife would complain that I wasn't listening, didn't understand her well, and that she was walking on eggshells all the time (that feeling was mutual). Even though we were good friends and we had regular dates and romantic times together, she didn't see any depth to 'us'...I realized that more than our intimacy, God wanted to meet me and change my heart…Finally God had my attention and He started working in many different areas of my life, that had just been swept under the carpet for far too long…[I] learned to truly put myself on the cross, to draw close to my wife and seek to minister to her needs first."

This week, Jefferson Fisher—a trial lawyer turned communication expert—walks us through why the art of slowing down a conversation is more powerful than shouting louder. He unpacks the truth about overexplaining, reveals why emotional manipulation often hides in plain sight, and shows how minor shifts can resolve arguments faster than any volume ever could. Jefferson also challenges the lie that talking proves knowledge. Instead, he shows why restraint builds trust, clarity, and real influence.

The 100-year-old named insured died of natural causes. His daughter, the executor, inherited and moved into the home, continuing to pay the same bills—including insurance premiums. Four years later, a fire occurred, but the policy still listed her late father. Can it pay out?   Notable Timestamps [ 00:10 ] - The daughter continued to pay the premiums, but did not contact the insurance company to advise them of her father's death. [ 01:30 ] - Trivia Time! Who was the oldest living person? [ 04:06 ] – Insurance policies generally follow the insureds, as defined by the policy, as opposed to the property itself.  [ 05:01 ] - A "death clause" provides a grace period to ensure coverage for the legal representative of the deceased (such as the executor of the estate) with respect to the premises and property covered at the time of death. This provision allows the family time to address affairs following a death. [ 06:15 ] – The grace period is not indefinite. Coverage under this clause typically ceases once the probate proceeding is finalized and the assets are distributed, as there is no longer a legal representative for the deceased. Some modern policies also include a hard cap, such as 180 days (approximately six months), for this grace period. [ 10:20 ] – Insurance companies are generally not obligated to actively seek out information regarding a policyholder's death. Courts have affirmed that the responsibility lies with the policyholder or the person seeking coverage to notify the insurer of any changes to the situation. [ 13:56 ] – Arguments appealing to "fairness" or doctrines like "mutual mistake" (where both parties are mistaken about a fact) typically do not succeed in court when the insurance company was unaware of the policyholder's death.  [ 17:33 ] – To prevent coverage lapses and ensure proper protection, it is critical for individuals or their families to contact their insurance agent or company to update policies, especially after a major life event like the death of a named insured. [ 14:00 ] - Tim provides a recap of the points above.

Should Christians baptize infants or only believers? This age-old debate divides denominations and families. In this episode of Marked by Grace, Heath Lambert respectfully tackles the arguments against infant baptism from a Baptist perspective. Despite having two Presbyterian mentors who deeply influenced his ministry, Heath examines three key areas: biblical teaching, biblical examples, and biblical covenants. Discover why there's no New Testament command to baptize babies, what household baptisms really teach, and how covenant signs relate to the nature of God's covenants.Timestamps0:00 - Introduction: Arguments against baptizing babies3:07 - Personal story: Two Presbyterian mentors who shaped Heath's ministry5:53 - Why church history can't be our ultimate authority7:12 - Biblical teaching: No New Testament text commands infant baptism8:07 - Colossians 2:11-12 doesn't teach infant baptism10:54 - 1 Peter 3:21 doesn't mention infant baptism12:35 - Romans 6:3-5: Baptism requires faith and understanding14:22 - Biblical examples: Household baptisms and arguments from silence16:24 - Biblical covenants: Signs must match the nature of the covenantKey Points- No Clear Biblical Command: There is no text in the New Testament that explicitly commands or describes the baptism of infants - this is a significant issue when establishing Christian practice.- Church History vs. Scripture: While church historians can be quoted on both sides of the infant baptism debate, Scripture must be our ultimate authority, not historical precedent.- Colossians 2:11-12 Misunderstood: This passage speaks of spiritual circumcision "made without hands" and assumes the baptized person has faith - it cannot refer to infant baptism.- Household Baptisms Are Arguments from Silence: When Acts describes household baptisms, there's no explicit mention of infants. The text indicates those baptized "heard the word" and believed.- Baptism Requires Understanding: Romans 6:3-5 shows baptism as a picture of death, burial, and resurrection with Christ - meaningful only for those who understand and trust in Jesus.- Covenant Signs Match Covenant Nature: Throughout Scripture, covenant signs directly relate to the covenant's nature. New Testament baptism signifies personal faith, not biological or familial membership.- New Covenant, New Requirements: Unlike Old Testament circumcision based on biological descent, New Covenant membership is based on personal faith, requiring different covenant signs.- Respectful Disagreement: It's possible to disagree with infant baptism while maintaining deep respect for those who practice it, including mentors and fellow believers.Scripture ReferencesColossians 2:11-12 - "In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead." - Spiritual circumcision, not infant baptism1 Peter 3:21 - "Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body, but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ." - Baptism as an appeal of faith, not infant cleansingRomans 6:3-5 - "Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his." - Baptism requires understanding of Christ's death and resurrectionActs 10:44 - "While Peter was still saying these things, the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard the word." - Those baptized in household baptisms were those who heard and believedRomans 2:28-29 - "For no one is a Jew who is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and physical. But a Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter." - True circumcision is spiritual, not physicalHave a question you'd like answered?

n this interview, I'm joined by Dr. Andy Messmer to discuss the Spanish Reformation--which, if you're anything like me, you might have never heard about. In our wide-ranging discussion, Dr. Messmer shares some of the key figures and ideas that came out of the Spanish Reformation as well as why it ultimately failed to take hold. To understand that, we dive into the Spanish Inquisition as well as what the church in Spain looks like today. Dr. Messmer is at the forefront of studying the Spanish Reformation, and it was a true privilege to get to learn from him. Dr. Messmer's Translation of Reina's Confession of Faith: https://amzn.to/3ISGHruDr. Messmer's Book on Protestantism (in Spanish): https://amzn.to/3ITWRRxWant to support the channel?

(The Center Square) – Appellate court judges scrutinized President Donald Trump's tariff authority on Thursday, asking attorneys on both sides of the case tough questions about the president's authority to restructure global trade without help from Congress. Trump has used the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to underpin his "Liberation Day" tariffs. On April 2, Trump announced reciprocal tariffs on nearly all U.S. trading partners. He later suspended those higher tariffs but used the threat of higher taxes to get foreign nations to agree to new trade deals. Most of the deals Trump has announced so far come with a 15% import tax on foreign countries, although some face higher rates. Support this podcast: https://secure.anedot.com/franklin-news-foundation/ce052532-b1e4-41c4-945c-d7ce2f52c38a?source_code=xxxxxxFull story: https://www.thecentersquare.com/national/article_c817dfa7-3870-4677-855f-5e05583eb45b.html

Send us a textVideo Podcast HerePart 3 in our series on Book of Mormon proofs.  There were no horses during Book of Mormon  times.   No barely, no copper, no steel, etc.  Arguments against the Book of Mormon  have been around since the ink was barely dry.  We look at some of these arguments and see how when science catches up, the Book of Mormon is vindicated time and again on issues no one knew at the time, going against science and popular understandings of the day.   To say Joseph Smith  and friends created this book under their own power , fails to explain how the book continues to be right on every occasion and vindicated as time goes on.   It takes more faith to believe the Book of Mormon is a fraud made up by 1830 men then to believe it's supernatural divine origins and translation process.   Restored Gospel - Scripture Search and Study Resources Contact us:restoredgospelpodcast@gmail.comMusic by Michael Barrett

This episode of Mere Fidelity is about the boundaries and controls on theological and typological biblical interpretation - essentially asking "what are the brakes on theological exegesis?" — This month: The Body God Gives: A Biblical Response to Transgender Theory by Robert Smith - a weighty volume addressing crucial contemporary issues with biblical faithfulness. Get 40% off at lexhampress.com/merefidelity — Derek Rishmawy, Alastair Roberts, and Brad East explore the tension between: The Promise: Rediscovering richer, deeper ways of reading Scripture that go beyond simple historical-grammatical methods - finding typological patterns, narrative connections, and symbolic meanings that link Old and New Testament figures and events (like seeing Jesus as the new David, or Joseph as a type of Christ). The Problem: The legitimate concern that once you start reading Scripture typologically or allegorically, where do you stop? What prevents interpretation from becoming purely subjective, limited only by the interpreter's imagination? Key Discussion Points: Steelmanning the critics - Derek asks Alastair to acknowledge valid concerns about "wax nose" interpretations that can be twisted to support any position Historical precedent - How the apostles themselves read the Old Testament in ways that seem to go beyond original authorial intent Different paradigms for meaning - Brad argues for multiple faithful readings within proper bounds, using his "infinite sets" mathematical analogy, while Derek pushes back with concerns about authorial intention Practical controls they suggest: Alastair emphasizes grounding readings in the text's own literary patterns and connections Reading within the "rule of faith" (basic Christian orthodoxy) Alastair's "tree" metaphor - distinguishing between core interpretations (strong branches) and speculative ones (thin branches you don't put weight on) Reading in community rather than in isolation Alastair's key point - Understanding meaning as something that unfolds through time, not just locked in original context Brad advocates for reading Scripture with multiple paradigms (not just Paul's argumentative style, but also narrative like Song of Songs) The conversation shows Derek wrestling with concerns about going beyond authorial intention, while Brad takes a more "maximalist" approach and Alastair provides detailed textual grounding for typological readings. They ultimately argue that while there are real dangers in uncontrolled typological reading, the solution isn't to abandon these deeper interpretive methods but to practice them more carefully and responsibly. — Chapters 01:21 Grammatical Historical vs. Typological Exegesis 03:40 Steel Man Strikes Again 06:07 If This Were Wrong, How Would We Know? 09:05 Wax Nose 11:07 Gifted Interpreters and Accessibility 13:01 The Gigi Rule 16:48 Infinite Ways to Get It Right 19:08 Stories and Arguments 22:05 It's Alive! 26:19 Choose Your Own Adventure 29:14 More Anachronism Please 30:23 Anachronism and Authorial Intention 34:39 How Meaning Works 40:10 Asking the Text a Question 43:02 Practice Safe Reading 51:32 Resources

Have you ever asked yourself: Am I sacrificing too much time with my wife and kids in pursuit of my career or financial goals? What small changes could I make right now to build more connection points and memories with my family? Am I making choices that line up with the kind of legacy and example I want to set for my children? Whether you're a career-driven dad, a business owner, or just trying to do your best for your family, this episode is an honest look at why intentional time, connection, and legacy matter far more than your next paycheck. This week, Larry takes us on a heartfelt journey inspired by his recent 50th birthday, reflecting on the advice he wishes he could have given his younger self during his 30s and 40s. With deep sincerity, he opens up about the “rookie mistakes” he made by spending years grinding in a demanding career—sacrificing precious time with his wife and kids in pursuit of financial success. Drawing from powerful examples, including an emotional moment from Tom Brady reflecting on the cost of greatness, Larry reminds us that while hustling to provide is noble, it often comes at a price that money can't buy back: time, connection, and memories with our loved ones. He shares statistics on how finances often strain marriages, highlights the importance of intentional living, and encourages dads to pause and assess what their hard work might be costing them outside the office. So if you've ever questioned if the grind is worth it, or worried about missing out on what truly matters, this one's for you.    Become the best husband you can: https://bit.ly/deamarriageyoutube In this vital conversation, we dig into: The Hidden Price of Success: Working 60, 70, or even 80 hours a week is celebrated by many men. Yet, as Larry reveals, this dedication is often worn as a badge of honor. While providing for a family is noble, the cost can be severe. Countless hours spent at work are hours lost with children, spouses, and friends. Larry's own journey included long weeks on the road and executive-level sacrifices in the medical industry. Despite earning a good living, he found himself disconnected and unfulfilled. The Irreplaceable Asset: Time with Family: Time is the one thing every parent has in equal measure—24 hours each day. Although bank accounts and careers differ, the hours we have with loved ones are finite. Larry highlights this by referencing Tom Brady's emotional reflection on his father. Even with record-breaking success and financial security, Brady admitted to sacrificing precious moments with his children. This lesson resonates with many fathers who struggle to strike a healthy balance. Wealth, Marriage, and the Stress Factor: Finances play a leading role in marital stress. In fact, 37% of divorces are linked primarily to money disagreements. Arguments about spending, saving, and debt are rampant in households. Sometimes, financial infidelity—like secret spending—can quietly erode trust. Moreover, differences in money personalities between spouses can further complicate things. One partner may be a saver while the other prefers to spend, creating ongoing tension. Rethinking the Grind: Society tells us we must stick with what we know, even if it costs us happiness. Larry demonstrates that it's possible to shift careers, learn new skills, and pursue passions. He provides examples of his own path, as well as others who made midlife career changes successfully. There are more ways to generate income today than ever before. From real estate to side hustles, passive revenue is accessible for those willing to be creative and disciplined. Practical Advice for Fathers: Larry urges fathers to pause and consider what the grind is truly costing them. Is it worth missing key moments with your children? Instead of only focusing on earning, he recommends open communication with your spouse. Aligning financial goals can ease the burden and reduce the need for endless overtime. Fathers don't have to choose between security and connection. With intention, you can build both. This episode is packed with raw, practical wisdom on finding balance, embracing new opportunities, and living with intentionality. Here's what research and observation highlight about financial issues in relationships: Almost 3 out of 10 couples are secretly spending money that the other person doesn't know about. Money fights show up in nearly 40 to 50% of all marital arguments. 27% of couples or partners admit to secretly spending, and 10% say it will lead directly to divorce thedadedge.com/friday517 thedadedge.com/mastermind Brady on Family vs football  

I. A thought I had throughout reading L.R. Hiatt's Arguments About Aborigines was: What are anthropologists even doing? The book recounts two centuries' worth of scholarly disputes over questions like whether aboriginal tribes had chiefs. But during those centuries, many Aborigines learned English, many Westerners learned Aboriginal languages, and representatives of each side often spent years embedded in one another's culture. What stopped some Westerner from approaching an Aborigine, asking “So, do you have chiefs?” and resolving a hundred years of bitter academic debate? Of course the answer must be something like “categories from different cultures don't map neatly into another, and Aboriginal hierarchies have something that matches the Western idea of ‘chief' in some sense but not in others”. And there are other complicating factors - maybe some Aboriginal tribes have chiefs and others don't. Or maybe Aboriginal social organization changed after Western contact, and whatever chiefs they do or don't have are a foreign imposition. Or maybe something about chiefs is taboo, and if you ask an Aborigine directly they'll lie or dissemble or say something that's obviously a euphemism to them but totally meaningless to you. All of these points are well taken. It still seems weird that the West could interact with an entire continent full of Aborigines for two hundred years and remain confused about basic facts of their social lives. You can repeat the usual platitudes about why anthropology is hard as many times as you want; it still doesn't quite seem to sink in. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/book-review-arguments-about-aborigines

Arguments escalate into relationship disasters daily. Trial attorney Jefferson Fisher shares courtroom tactics he uses to turn conflict into connection!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1181What We Discuss with Jefferson Fisher:Use time to regulate emotions in conflict. Take a breath before responding and slow down your speech. This prevents escalation and keeps you in control rather than entering "ignition mode" where you say things you regret.Every person has surface and depth, and hostile behavior often masks deeper struggles. Asking "What's your biggest struggle?" can transform confrontational situations into connection.Approach conversations with "something to learn" not "something to prove." When you try to win arguments, you lose relationships. Focus on understanding rather than being right to achieve better outcomes.Handle interruptions strategically. Let them interrupt once, resume where you left off without acknowledging their interruption, then address it directly if they interrupt again: "I can't hear you when you interrupt me."Show you're listening with one simple question. Before sharing your own story or response, ask one follow-up question about what they just shared. This makes people feel heard and valued in conversation.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!
