Inazuma returns and is out this August, Switch 2 pre-orders are back on in the US and Canada, The Oblivion Remake is super real and coming out soon, and we know so much more about Mario Kart World.

I was going to redo my top ten games of all time list this week, but I punted until next time. I had a list but I wasn't fully confident with it yet. Look forward to it next time for real!

In this sermon, the Rev. Canon Anna E. Rossi explores the profound theological and emotional struggle to find meaning and God's presence amid suffering and atrocity, using the lens of the aftermath of the Shoah (Holocaust.) In all circumstances, even in the face of overwhelming evil, there is a human impulse to seek understanding through faith. The message affirms God's presence not in power or escape, but in solidarity with suffering —  applying Jewish feminist theologian Melissa Rafael's assertion that God is in the ashes.” Through the crucifixion, it portrays divine compassion and calls the faithful to witness, serve, and love amid injustice, embodying Christ's presence in a wounded world.

Alex explores the societal pressure to express outrage online, questioning the value of performative empathy versus meaningful action. He discusses the implications of outrage culture, emotional coercion, and the need for diverse forms of engagement in the pursuit of social justice.

What does it take to publish multiple bestselling books? And how does a spiritual teacher who has dedicated her life to teaching others about fire navigate the devastating power of a wildfire that destroys her home?In this rich conversation, I speak with HeatherAsh Amara, bestselling author of nine books including the Warrior Goddess Training series, who shares both her journey as a writer and how her life dramatically changed when a controlled burn became the largest wildfire in New Mexico history.HeatherAsh reveals her path from aspiring seven-year-old writer to bestselling author, including her years working as Don Miguel Ruiz's publicist. She shares how she met Don Miguel in 1992 before The Four Agreements was published, got to witness its development, and also served as publicist for his books.The conversation then shifts to her profound experience with the New Mexico wildfire that decimated her ranch, and how this catastrophe transformed her relationship with the land and expanded her vision from a five-year retreat center plan to a 50-year restoration project.What You'll Learn in This Episode:

In some places around the world, the day between Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday is known as "Black Saturday." This may sound grim to those of us who now live in the reality of the resurrection. But, imagine being an early disciple who just experienced the historical events leading up to the resurrection of Jesus, including "Good Friday." And then, imagine what Saturday must have felt like. Would it have been filled with hope and excitement? Or, rather grief and despair?This Sunday, as we begin our celebration of Holy Week, Kevan will be sharing a message entitled, "A Long Saturday (up from the ashes)."

Humans are the greatest threat to mountain lions. In California, close to 40 million people live within, or adjacent to, cougar habitat. Mountain lions as a species are not listed as endangered. But generally speaking, vehicle strikes, rat poison, inbreeding, wildfires, poaching, urban encroachment complaints, livestock depredation kill permits, and freeway systems are all contributing to what scientists call an “extinction vortex.” In this show from 2024 we discuss the efforts to protect predators, particularly the mountain lion, who are still somewhat numerous, but declining fast in the world of sprawling housing developments and freeways. First, we air parts of a Documentary series called California Mountain Lions, Legends of California, by UC Davis Karen C. Drayer Wildlife Health Center [https://youtu.be/GLvRuSjSYgo?si=wOMXEOB60EjdUpjd]. We include sections from an interview our host Jessica Aldridge did with Beth Pratt, California Regional Executive Director of National Wildlife Federation, focusing on mountain lion populations, wildlife connectivity, and existing and planned transportation crossings as a solution to protect wildlife.

This week Pastor Stacy shares a raw and vulnerable message about God giving us Beauty for Ashes.

The struggles of life can indeed pull us down. Buried deep in the ashes of despair. Clouding our sight with its troubles. But there is a cry for more. A cry to push beyond. To bounce back and touch joy. To run to the light cause it's waiting. God is calling with His arms wide open. He wants to show you the way. ‘To give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning… that He may be glorified.' – Isaiah 61 vs 3 (NKJV) Let the old die, so the new can live.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05pm- Daniel Turner—Founder and Executive Director of Power The Future—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest op-ed for the Washington Reporter, “President Trump and America's coal industry are rising from the ashes together.” You can read the full article here: https://washingtonreporter.news?utm_source=navbar&utm_medium=web. 6:30pm- On Friday, President Donald Trump expressed interest in making Daylight Saving Time permanent. In a post to Truth Social, he wrote: “The House and Senate should push hard for more Daylight at the end of a day. Very popular and, most importantly, no more changing of the clocks, a big inconvenience and, for our government, A VERY COSTLY EVENT!!!” Rich jokes that Trump will simply send Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to negotiate with the sun for an additional hour of daylight—after successfully negotiating new trade deals with Vietnam and Japan, of course. Weekday afternoons on Talk Radio 1210 WPHT, Rich Zeoli gives the expert analysis and humorous take that we need in this crazy political climate. Along with Executive Producer Matt DeSantis and Justin Otero, the Zeoli show is the next generation of talk radio and you can be a part of it weekday afternoons 3-7pm.

Trump's not interested in governing. He's rewriting the rules, tearing down institutions, and replacing democracy with spectacle and submission...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Val Kilmer wasn't just an actor – he was a chameleon who disappeared so completely into his roles that the line between performance and reality often blurred. His journey from Hollywood golden boy to cancer survivor reveals the extraordinary price of his artistic devotion.Born on New Year's Eve 1959 in Los Angeles, Kilmer's childhood was both privileged and tragic. Growing up on Roy Rogers' ranch gave him a playground for creativity, but the sudden drowning death of his 15-year-old filmmaker brother Wesley shattered his family and became the ghost that would drive him relentlessly forward. At just 17, he became Juilliard's youngest-ever drama student, displaying the singular focus that would define his career.Kilmer's method approach yielded unforgettable performances – from the cold, calculated Iceman in "Top Gun" to his transformative embodiment of Jim Morrison that fooled even The Doors themselves. As Doc Holliday in "Tombstone," he delivered perhaps his most beloved performance, crafting a character of lethal charm and vulnerability. Yet his perfectionism and intensity earned him a reputation as "difficult" that eventually overshadowed his undeniable talent, leading to professional exile just when he seemed unstoppable.When Hollywood turned away, Kilmer reinvented himself through a deeply personal one-man show about his hero Mark Twain. Then came the cruelest twist – throat cancer that robbed him of his powerful voice through treatment that saved his life but permanently altered it. Even in this devastating setback, Kilmer showed remarkable resilience, embracing technology to preserve his voice through AI and making a poignant return in "Top Gun: Maverick" that acknowledged his real-life struggle.In his own words: "I have behaved poorly, I have behaved bravely, I have behaved bizarrely to some. I deny none of this and have no regrets." Val Kilmer's legacy transcends his filmography – it's a testament to artistic commitment, personal reinvention, and the courage to face life's harshest challenges without surrendering your essential self.Join Kyle Ploof, Ben Kissel and Alejandro Dowling as they raise a toast to the man, the legend: Mr. Val Kilmer.Send us a message!Support the showDeath in Entertainment is hosted by Kyle Ploof, Alejandro Dowling and Ben Kissel.New episodes every week!https://linktr.ee/deathinentertainment

Alison Mitchell, Clint Wheeldon and Sunil Gupta take stock of the Indian Premier League and discuss whether MS Dhoni should retire at the end of this season. Dhoni had to deny that he was retiring midway through the season after his parents were pictured at his match for Chennai Super Kings against Delhi Capitals. Plus we analyse the return of Jasprit Bumrah who has played his first match in 93 days after injuring his back and how big Virat Kohli's achievement is of reaching 13,000 T20 runs. Plus we go behind the scenes and hear what life is like for a cricket agent. We are joined by Cameron Richardson who manages a number of female Australian players including Ashes hero Alana King. He tells us that when he first saw her bowl at the age of 18, she reminded him of Shane Warne. He also shares with us the difference between managing male and female players and about balancing player burnout.
