Why do pets and animal companions in fiction feel so immediate, so universally legible, and so devastating when a story takes them away?We pull threads from everywhere, comic book pets like Krypto, the daemon companions of His Dark Materials, and the long mythic history of loyal animals that reveal a hero's character. From Odysseus and Argus to the Mahabharata's stray dog test, we track what separates a true companion from a symbol or a beast of burden: mutual attachment, choice, and the kind of love that costs something.

Opposition research has always rewarded whoever digs deepest. AI is changing who can afford to dig — and how much stays buried. This week, Eric Wilson sits down with John Artunkal, founder and CEO of Argus AI, who came to politics through open-source intelligence, trained by Bellingcat and schooled at Oxford in the social science of the internet.They get into how AI is — and isn't — transforming the vetting business: digital footprint mapping, facial recognition, and linguistic forensics; why self-vetting is now table stakes for down-ballot candidates; and the trade-off every research tool has to make between flagging too much and missing the one thing that ends a campaign. John also makes the case that candidates shouldn't over-sanitize themselves. Voters reward authenticity — the job is knowing the difference between a rough edge and a career-ender.Visit our website: CampaignTrend.com

Guest Chelsea Finnie Panelist Richard Littauer Show Notes In this episode of Sustain, Richard talks with Chelsea Finnie, Chairperson of Python New Zealand and a Senior Network DevOps Engineer at REANNZ, about the serious behind-the-scenes work required to keep open source communities alive. Chelsea shares how they moved from Python conference volunteer to community leader, then walks through Python New Zealand's financial crisis after discovering improper use of funds, the legal and governance challenges that followed, and how Linux Australia helped keep the organization and Kiwi PyCon alive. It's a candid conversation about trust, accountability, burnout, community rescue, and why open source leadership is about much more than code. Press download now to hear more! [00:01:47] Chelsea explains their work at REANNZ and their role as a senior network DevOps engineer including Python-based network automation and the PANDA initiative for advancing network device automation. [00:03:08] Chelsea talks about contributing an open source “glue” service connecting Prometheus Alertmanager to Argus using Flask. [00:04:21] Chelsea takes us through how they got involved with Python New Zealand, helping rescue AV production for a Kiwi PyCon event, and realizing they might be capable of helping run a conference themselves. [00:06:58] They share the lighter side of joining the Python NZ committee, including a sea shanty lightning talk and an election promise to write a Python-based sea shanty. [00:08:35] Richard shifts into the central issue: Python New Zealand leadership had been dealing with a major financial and governance crisis and Chelsea explains discovering the budget hole, seeking legal advice, reviewing the transactions, and what happened when Linux Australia stepped in. [00:14:43] Chelsea reflects on Linux Australia's role as a lifeline and why having financially stable open source organizations matters. [00:15:46] Richard highlights the often-overlooked legal and financial responsibility that comes with serving on nonprofit or open source boards and Chelsea shares where Python NZ stands now. [00:18:26] They tell us about the new safeguards and governance checks and notes that better accounting systems, such as Xero, would likely have exposed the financial problems earlier [00:20:31] Chelsea shares how they stay motivated through heavy work and the value of open source leadership. [00:21:57] Richard points out that Chelsea was not only helping fix financial and governance issues but also continuing to lead Python New Zealand and run events. Chelsea talks about the decision to run Kiwi PyCon on the “West Island.” [00:25:08] Chelsea says one of their goals as chairperson is to identify and support the next people who will lead Python New Zealand and future events.

Lance Dickson kept having the same conversation. A failing council. A price hike nobody could explain. Everyone complained. Nothing changed. So he built Ryze instead, a self-funded civic action platform designed to convert that outrage into organised economic consequence. In his latest interview with Irakli, the founder unpacks the six-agent AI cluster running underneath it, from a news-scanning watchdog named Argus to a legal gatekeeper named Shield, built so nothing goes live without clearing a legal check first. The mechanism isn't new. Pamphlets and word of mouth forced PUTCO to reverse a bus fare hike in 1957. Dickson just wants to run it at national scale. The urgency comes from the street, not the boardroom. "I literally got told yesterday from a petrol attendant that he doesn't know who to vote for," he says. He traces the instinct back to the country itself. South Africa, he says, is "known as one of the countries that have put boycotting on the map."

The UFO Bombshell Before Roswell with Paul Blake Smith July 21st, 2026 EP: 103 Most people think Roswell was the beginning of America's UFO mystery. But what if the real starting point happened six years earlier? In 1941, a presumed airplane crash near Cape Girardeau, Missouri sparked a story of strange wreckage, alleged alien bodies, government involvement, and a cover-up that may have reached some of the most powerful figures in American history. Author Paul Blake Smith joins ParaTruth: Reborn to discuss his book The UFO Bombshell Before Roswell and the case that challenges everything we think we know about America's first contact story. Was this simply wartime rumor? A hidden military incident? Or one of the most important UFO cases buried beneath the shadow of Roswell? Join Justin and Erik as they separate fact from fiction and ask: Did the UFO cover-up begin before Roswell? Guest Bio: Paul Blake Smith was born and raised in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, and attended that town's Southeast Missouri State University, where he was a 4-year Mass Communications Major with an English Minor. He has written eight previous books, for Argus, Foundations, and now Llewellyn Publishing, plus two in audio form at tantor.com. His two most recent books have been signed by producers for possible future motion pictures. United Public Radio & UFO Paranormal Radio www.uprntalkradio.com

Send us Fan MailStacy Vaccaro and Jim Lietz (current and former sheriff's deputies) made the Waushara Argus this week with news that begs the question, what does conservatism mean in a red county that purports it desires fiscal austerity? The Badger Project broke the news this month. The Argus, itself, is a focal point for requiring letters to the editor to be paid for, which undermines an open letters policy that is broadly respected nationwide by newspapers. American values that we took for granted are under attack, and that is the theme in this podcast.

Every blockchain today leans on replication ideas worked out in the 1980s, by a Turing Award winner who wasn't thinking about how it might apply to money at all.  In this episode of First Principles, a16z crypto Head of Research and Columbia professor Tim Roughgarden speaks with Barbara Liskov, MIT professor, Turing Award winner, and one of the most influential computer scientists in programming languages, data abstraction, fault tolerance, and distributed computing. a16z crypto research partner Ittai Abraham joins the conversation.  The discussion traces Liskov's path from programming languages and modularity to distributed systems research; from CLU and Argus to viewstamped replication; and from benign failures to Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance, or PBFT — a protocol family whose ideas now shape many modern blockchain systems. Liskov explains why modularity matters, how systems researchers thought about replication in the 1980s, why view changes were such a key idea, and how PBFT extended earlier work to handle malicious behavior on the internet.  The conversation also explores the bridge between theory and practice, the importance of proofs and specifications, and why the next generation of systems research may be reshaped by AI. First Principles is a special, limited series from a16z crypto about the scientific roots of modern computing — especially blockchains — told through rare conversations with the pioneers who helped shape the foundational ideas behind distributed systems, consensus protocols, economics, mechanism design, cryptography, zero-knowledge, and more. People often tell the story of the Bitcoin whitepaper as if it appeared out of nowhere. But the ideas behind Bitcoin — and behind blockchains more broadly — come from decades of computer science, economics, mathematics, and cryptography.  First Principles is a guide to that lineage, as told by the people who helped build it.  Highlights:  00:00 Intro: How do systems stay reliable when parts fail?  01:18 Barbara Liskov's path from programming languages to distributed systems  05:45 Why modularity is “everything”  07:22 The replication problem: keeping data available across many machines 09:58 Viewstamped replication and the “ledger” before blockchains  16:32 Why good research starts with what you don't understand  18:10 Leslie Lamport, Paxos, and the inevitability of ideas in the right time, in the right place  21:48 Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance: what changes when replicas can lie  19:35 How PBFT bridged theory and practical systems  22:38 Why you should never trust an individual replica  28:39 Why blockchains are state machine replication in the wild  31:27 AI, verification, and the future of computer science  Follow:  Tim Roughgarden: https://twitter.com/Tim_Roughgarden  Ittai Abraham: https://twitter.com/ittaia  Follow a16z crypto: X: https://twitter.com/a16zcrypto  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/a16zcrypto/posts/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@a16zcrypto  Substack: https://a16zcrypto.substack.com/subscribe/  *** As always, none of the following should be taken as investment, business, legal, or tax advice.

In this episode Argus analysts examine how data centre growth for artificial intelligence is driving demand in some of the most exposed minor metal markets. Materials like germanium and indium phosphide are playing a key role in data transfer devices and optical connections within data centres, while gallium nitride power electrics are increasingly deployed to improve energy efficiency. But supply of these metals has been restricted by export controls and geo-political instability just as demand is beginning to boom. Topics discussed: The role of gallium nitride power electronics in AI data centre infrastructure and how the gallium market outside China could expand to meet demand. How germanium and indium phosphide are used in high-speed data transfer and optical connections within data centres and how these markets are affected by China's export control policies. The supply constraints faced by the tantalum industry at a time when tantalum demand from the capacitor industry, chip makers, and energy sector is growing rapidly.

In this episode, Michael Ball, editor of Air Daily speaks with carbon reporter Ida Balakrishna as she examines the recent surge in RGGI allowance prices and the market forces driving unprecedented volatility. The discussion explores how Virginia's earlier-than-expected return is raising supply concerns, alongside rising emissions, growing data center-driven power demand, and shifting compliance strategies. They also unpack recent auction surprises, seasonal demand factors, and potential regulatory responses shaping the outlook for the RGGI market. Key Takeaways: Market volatility and price surges driven by Virginia's re-entry into RGGI in July Rising energy demand which is shaping emissions outlook and allowance demand Compliance deadlines and evolving regulatory expectations influencing trading behavior External drivers including seasonal demand patterns and auction outcomes

  Podcast description:   The biomass industry is increasingly partaking in conversations around carbonised biomass, but confusion still arises over which term is the correct one, and what each term means.   In this episode of the Biomass Beat, host Hannah Adler speaks with Chris Wiberg of Biomass Energy Lab (BEL) to unpack the complexities behind biocoal, biocarbon, biochar and charcoal, exploring how these materials are defined, produced, and used across industries ranging from energy to agriculture.   In this episode, you'll discover:   A clear breakdown of terminology in the biocarbon sector- and why so many products sound similar but can differ How product specifications and feedstocks vary, from high-grade wood to waste-based An exploration of end uses, including energy generation, soil health, industrial inputs, and carbon removal Insights into market development and standardisation, and why clearer definitions can unlock further investment   Argus offers biomass prices, news, analysis, and consulting.

In 1882, the German mathematician Ferdinand von Lindemann proved that π was transcendental: it cannot be reduced to a tidy equation, never captured inside the comfortable boundaries expected by mathematicians. For centuries mathematicians tried to “square the circle” — creating a perfect square with the same area as a circle using only classical tools. In 1882, they finally got their answer: impossible. π's transcendence meant the problem itself can never be solved. π sits at the centre of order — wheels, planets, architecture, engineering — but does not obey the rules mathematicians thought would contain it. The more closely pi is examined, the more it slips beyond simple description. But pi also has beauty in it's patterns. π — roughly 3.14 etc etc — is the hidden constant inside every circle: divide the distance around any circle by the distance across it, and written out as a decimal, it goes on forever without ever stopping and without ever falling into a repeating pattern. Southern Africa in the early 1880s had the appearance of something similar. The neat assumptions of empire borders that could be drawn, peoples classified, and territories administered into obedience — were beginning to collide with a far messier reality. The aftermath of the First Anglo-Boer War had humbled imperial confidence, African polities remained powerful actors, and the mineral revolution was creating forces no colonial administrator fully controlled. Like π, South Africa was proving resistant to simple formulas. Emerging at this time was the Afrikaner Bond, led by Jan Hendrick Hofmeyr, his Boeren Beschermings Vereeniging, Farmers Protection Society, had merged with the Bond. Hofmeyr's main aim was to merge the diverse Afrikaner cultural movements from behind the scenes, thus his nickname, The Mole. Cape Prime Minister John Gordon Sprigg was sparring with political humanists, particularly Saul Solomon who owned the Cape Argus. As a liberal member of parliament, he was an articulate defender of African rights, called a friend of the natives and worse by some settlers. He was enticed to sell his paper to the editor at the time, what he didn't know, was that Cecil John Rhodes was secretly backing the sale - no Rhodes owned the Argus. It was in that moment that the Cape lost its important outsider voice, and Rhodes gained a news outlet. The main story the paper was covering after the first Anglo-Boer war was the instability in Basotholand. The Argus and other liberals had taken up the Basotho cause against the land-hungry settlers of the Orange Free State. Shoring up his personal wealth and power, Rhodes was simultaneously using his growing influence in the Cape to protect its northern territories. This was a natural progression, north of Kimberley lay the Vaal River, and the Molopo River. Between the two lay not only the Boers of the Orange Free State and the Transvaal, but the Tswana people. South of the Molopo there were the Thlaping, the Rolong, north of the Molopo the Ngwato chiefdom, ruled by Khama as well as the Kwena under chief Sechele, the Ngwaketse ruled by Gaseitsiwe and soon, his son, Bathoen. The Tswana were tussling with colonial expansion, and navigating the difficult politics of the frontier, keeping the Boer settlers at arm's length. Along the edge of these chief's territory there lay the Great North Road, on the eastern side of the Tswana lands. Transvaal President Paul Kruger was behind efforts to cut off the Road to the North, something the British authorities suspected but couldn't prove. For Cecil Rhodes and British ambitions, these two micro-republics were a geopolitical nightmare. If the Transvaal annexed Stellaland and Goshen which was Paul Kruger's ultimate goal, the Boers would completely block Cape Colony access to the interior of Africa. Rhodes had taken to calling the Great north Road the Suez Canal of South Africa.

Way back in the early days of the Camerosity Podcast, we did a show with Canon historian and author Peter Kitchingman, and recently as the gang looked back at what topics were worth revisiting we decided to come back to Canon rangefinders.  But what expert would we get this time?  As it turned out, Peter was available and willing to come back so we decided to retread this bountiful topic and deliver a "Part Deux" to Canon rangefinders. Joining Peter and the regular hosts were Greg Harp, another excellent resource for these cameras who has a great deal of knowledge, plus listeners A.J. Gentile, Ben Ryerson, Ira Cohen, Jeremy Scott, Joan, John Roberts, Norris Liu, William Smith, and Will Pinkham. We start off with some brief history and then get into some of the earliest Canon rangefinders like the original Canon and the slightly later Canon J and JII.  Moving onto the historically significant S, SII, and IIBs and eventually covering the II, III, and IV series.  We move along to the back loaders like the V, VI, P, and 7 series, covering various lenses, including the 0.95 Dream lens, a very rare original Canon mount wide angle lens, and others.  Greg and Peter even share a bit of knowledge about Canon's X-Ray cameras which they made during and after the war. Although a majority of you probably wanted to hear the most about the interchangeable lens models, we give some love to the fixed lens Canonet models like the trigger wind Canonet, the Canonet QL17 G-III, and even some of the more economically priced models. Unusual to a Camerosity episode, we largely stayed on topic for this only only slightly veering into one Argus lens (blame Mike for that), but we answer a bunch of questions such as why is having different magnification ratios for the rangefinder useful, why is having separate viewfinder and rangefinder windows better, and what role did Nippon Kogaku play in Canon's history. As always, the topics we discuss on the Camerosity Podcast are influenced by you!  Please don't feel like you have to be an expert on a specific type of camera, or have the level of knowledge on par with other people on the show.  We LOVE people who are into shooting or collecting cameras, no matter how long you've been doing it, so please don't consider your knowledge level to be a prerequisite for joining! The guys and I rarely know where each episode is going to go until it happens, so if you'd like to join us on a future episode, be sure to look out for our show announcements on our Camerosity Podcast Facebook page, the Camerosity Discord server, and right here on mikeeckman.com. We usually record every other Monday and announcements, along with the Zoom link are typically shared 2-3 days in advance. Our next episode will be number 110, and we listened to you all for a topic and you chose 110 "Pocket Instamatic" cameras.  This means the Pentax and Minolta 110 SLRs will definitely make an appearance, but in the event we can't fill a whole episode about 110 cameras, we are opening up the discussion to all 16mm subminiature cameras.  We will record Episode 110 on Monday, June 8th at 7pm Central Daylight Time, 8pm Eastern Daylight Time, and 6pm Canada Saskatchewan Time.  For more time zones, please consult the World Time Buddy calculator and plug in your time.  Make sure you set your calendars and look out for the show announcement at the usual locations and be prepared to join us!
