"The name of a church shows how its community will pursue its mission." Sermon by the Rt. Rev'd Diana Akiyama, recorded live on Trinity Sunday, May 31, 2026.

1. NFC West-How much confidence (if any) does the Cardinals selection of Chase Bisontis give you in Jeremiyah Love's chances of NOT having the same kind of rookie campaign that Ashton Jeanty had last season?-Would you be surprised if Carson Beck does NOT start five-plus games this year?-Do you see De'Zhaun Stribling as a long-term upgrade over Jauan Jennings?-Is it fair to expect a quantum leap forward for the 49ers pass rush this season?-Aside from the commonly used reasoning of Matthew Stafford is 38 and the Rams aren't likely to be picking in the top-15 any time soon, can you find another reason to justify L.A.'s selection of Ty Simpson more than a month after the fact?-Why do you think the NFL, and the Seahawks in particular, were far more bullish on Jadarian Price than any of the non-Jeremiyah Love RB's in this class? -Can you see Bud Clark and/or Julian Neal playing starter-level snaps this season?-Do you think Beau Stephens has a chance to give Anthony Bradford a serious challenge for that starting RG spot?2. NFC East-Why do you think the Giants preferred Arvell Reese over Sonny Styles? -Is Francis Mauigoa's best long-term NFL homer at tackle or guard?-Would you consider it a failure if the Commanders defense is not a top-half of the league unit or better in 2026?-Do you see Antonio Williams emerging as that second target behind Terry McLaurin in the passing game at some point this season?-Is Caleb Downs the exact kind of leader the Cowboys defense so desperately needed?-How much do Malachi Lawrence and Jaishawn Barham improve Dallas's pass rush from Day 1?-Would it be better for the Eagles if they start to envision Eli Stowers as a WR as opposed to a TE? -Even with Jeff Stoutland no longer in the building, do you think Markel Bell has an outside chance to emerge as the long-term successor to Lane Johnson at RT?3. NFC South-Just how good have the Saints set the table for Tyler Shough to have a breakout sophomore campaign?-Do you see Christen Miller developing into a three-down player?-In your view, does Avieon Terrell project as a slot-only corner at the NFL level, or can he play his fair share of snaps on the boundary as well?-Are you a fan of Rueben Bain, Jr.'s fit in Todd Bowles defense?-Why do you think Keionte Scott fell as far as he did and what role can you see him playing in the Bucs secondary outside of nickel corner?-Does the Panthers selection of Monroe Freeling suggest to you that they're not counting on Ickey Ekwonu to ever be the same again after his torn patellar tendon?-With Lee Hunter now joining Derrick Brown to man the interior of Carolina's DL, can you see the Panthers being a notoriously tough unit for opposing offenses to run the ball against this season and beyond?-Which of the Panthers two 5th-round picks do you think is more likely to turn out to be a massive bargain: Sam Hecht or Zakee Wheatley?4. NFC North-While you had some qualms about Blake Miller during the pre-draft process, do you think the Lions are a team that best fit his strengths?-Why do you think the Lions preferred Derrick Moore over similar prospects like Gabe Jacas and Zion Young to be the bookend to Aidan Hutchinson?-For reasons aside from his foot issues, just how low is Caleb Banks' downside? -Can you see Jake Golday eventually playing himself into that Andrew Van Ginkel role in Brian Flores' defense?-Which one of Brandon Cisse and Chris McClellan do you think is more likely to earn a second contract with the Packers?-Is it fair for Bears fans to expect Dillon Thieneman and Coby Bryant to solidify themselves as one of the NFL's top-10 safety duos this season?-Would you expect Logan Jones to overtake Garrett Bradbury as the Bears starting center by mid-October, if not earlier?-Which of Sam Roush or Malik Muhammad do you think makes the bigger impact for the Bears in Year 1?

2026-05-28 | UPDATES #208 | How the May 26th Pentagon announcement may just have handed Putin the greatest strategic gift of the 21st century.

''Your body goes - Whats happening?!''Dermot Whelan reunited with Dave to chat about his new RTÉ show 'Museum of Me' which starts on Sunday at 8.30pm on RTÉ One.

RTÉ has been in the news again lately thanks to renewed controversy over payments to presenters. So it is a timely moment for the release of a new book on the institution. RTÉ: Saints, Scholars, and Scandals is the latest work by former TD, minister and journalist Shane Ross, who brings his dual experience of media and politics to bear on this unwieldy subject.He talks to Hugh about the deep roots of RTÉ's structural problems, Fianna Fáil's dominance of RTÉ throughout its history (exemplified by Gay Byrne's cozy relationship with Charles Haughey) and the damaging recent scandals over payments and governance.He tells Hugh the frustration politicians feel over negative coverage is the reason cash-strapped RTÉ has not enjoyed a licence fee increase since 2008.Ross also talks about how illness (he is recovering from throat cancer) derailed the book for a few years.Would you like to receive daily insights into world events delivered to your inbox?

How many encores can one scandal have? There were more fireworks as RTÉ director general Kevin Bakhurst and his executives found themselves brought before yet another tense Oireachtas Media Committee. Emotions were high as the payment status of late Arena presenter Seán Rocks and the perilous situation of his family were brought to light and challenged. Elsewhere, similar question marks were applied to Oliver Callan, Tommy Tiernan, Derek Mooney, George Lee and Kevin Bakhurst himself. So, where does this saga go from here? And how is the future of Patrick Kielty as the host of The Late Late Show tied in? On this Extra episode of The Indo Daily, host Kevin Doyle is joined by Irish Independent Ireland Editor Fionnán Sheahan to break down the latest revelations and rancour. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Representatives from RTÉ, including director general Kevin Bakhurst, spoke at a Joint Committee on Arts, Media, Communications and Sport yesterday. Bakhurst said in his opening remarks it is “regrettable” that a “sincere attempt” by the national broadcaster to be more transparent has been categorised as another scandal. Fionnan Sheehan, Ireland Editor of Irish Independent gave his reaction to yesterday's committee meeting.

Political Correspondent, Mícheál Lehane looks ahead to the appearance of RTÉ before the Oireachtas Media Committee.

1. AFC West-How well do you think Keyron Crawford fills that gaping hole opposite Mad Maxx starting on Day 1?-How bullish are you on Trey Zuhn III winning one of those Week 1 starting OL spots?-With the additions of Mansoor Delane, Peter Woods and R. Mason Thomas, do the Chiefs have the right pieces in place to make those game-sealing defensive plays they just couldn't make last season?-Do you see Emmett Johnson, at minimum, getting a similar workload this season as Zach Charbonnet did behind Kenneth Walker III last year in Seattle? -When you studied Jake Slaughter on tape, did you see someone who could kick outside from center to guard?-Do you agree with Dane Brugler's assessment on Tyler Onyedim, and do you see him carving out a fairly sizable role (say 20-25% of the snaps) in Denver's DL rotation this year?-How much higher does Jonah Coleman raise the floor of the Broncos running game in the event of another JK Dobbins injury?-Which of Kage Casey or Justin Joly do you think has a better chance to become a starter in 2027? 2. AFC East-Do you think the Jets made the right choice in going with David Bailey over Arvell Reese at 2 overall?-Just how good is this Jets offense set up right now for a potential rookie QB in 2027?-Is starting Kadyn Proctor out at guard the right move?-Just how good of a starting foundation on defense do the Dolphins have in Chris Johnson, Jacob Rodriguez, and Kyle Louis?-Do you think there's a decent chance the Bills eventually get the version of T.J. Parker we saw in 2024?-Which of Skyler Bell, Kaleb Elarms-Orr, Jalon Kilgore or Zane Durant are you most confident will end up becoming a long-term piece in Buffalo?-What's the better eventual move with Caleb Lomu: Have him replace Morgan Moses at RT in 2027, or have him replace Will Campbell at LT in 2027 and move Campbell either to RT or inside to guard?-Do you think Gabe Jacas is a legit deep sleeper for 2026 NFL DROY honors? 3. AFC South-Do you think Carnell Tate can become an effective WR1 for Cam Ward and the Titans?-Would it be a failure if this isn't a top-10 defense by 2027?-Do you think CJ Allen makes for a seamless transition from Zaire Franklin at that ILB spot for Indy?-Just how big of a steal do you think the Colts got with Deion Burks at 254 overall?-Do you see Keylan Rutledge starting games at center for the Texans this season?-Just how much more dangerous does Kayden McDonald make that Texans defensive line?-In your view, why wasn't Nate Boerkircher the best blocking TE in this draft?-Why do you think Emmanuel Pregnon fell as far as he did, and do you think he has a shot at beating out Ezra Cleveland or Patrick Mekari for one of the Jaguars starting guard spots this season?4. AFC North-Why do you think the Browns went with Spencer Fano over Francis Mauigoa, and is this a choice you think they'll eventually regret?-Just how well do you think K.C. Concepcion and Denzel Boston complement each other?-With the additions of Dexter Lawrence and Cashius Howell, are the Bengals officially out of excuses when it comes to fielding at least an above average pass rush this season?-Do you think both Connor Lew and Brian Parker II are starters for the Bengals in 2027? -Would you be surprised if Vega Ioane receives All-Pro honors during his rookie season?-How legit is the Za'Darius Smith comp for Zion Young?-Is Germie Bernard more than just a consolation prize for the Steelers?-Overall, did the Steelers do a good job in this class of thinking long-term as opposed to just plugging in holes in the now?

Pretekst do rozmowy o pokoleniu, które wychowało się już w putinizmie i właśnie obejmuje władzę.Próbujemy zrozumieć, jak działa to pokolenie kobiet z roczników 1982–1988 — Łantratowa, Lwowa-Biełowa, Mizulina, Kuzniecowa, Plieszczewa. Skąd przychodzą, jak budują kariery, jak czytają sygnały Kremla, w jaki sposób są instrumentalizowane i jak same się w putinizm wpisują. Patrzymy też na tło — starsze pokolenie kobiet, które wciąż trzyma strategiczne wieże rosyjskiego państwa.Pytanie, które stawiamy: czy nominacja Łantratowej to pojedynczy awans, czy prototyp putinowskiej fali kadrowej, która ukształtuje Rosję następnych dwóch–trzech dekad.Źródła:— Meduza, W Rosji będzie nowy ombudsman https://meduza.io/feature/2026/05/08/v-rossii-budet-novyy-ombudsmen-eto-yana-lantratova-ee-naznachenie-lobbiroval-nikita-mihalkov-uznala-meduza— RT, komentarz Łantratowejhttps://russian.rt.com/opinion/1630564-lantratova-rossiya-grazhdanskoe-obschestvo— Radio Swobodahttps://www.svoboda.org/a/pechaljnoe-sobytie-novaya-upolnomochennaya-po-pravam-cheloveka-v-rossii/33757539.html— Materiał wideohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3BWP556Jt4— Materiał wideohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YULK0Fo47cw— Nowaja Gazeta Europa, Mir uznany za wrogahttps://novayagazeta.eu/articles/2025/05/18/mir-opoznan-kak-vrag— Nowaja Gazeta Europa, Jej zadaniem jest wykonywać poleceniahttps://novayagazeta.eu/articles/2026/04/24/ee-zadacha-vypolniat-porucheniiaWsparcie projektu:

2026-05-17 | UPDATES #204 | This is the most genuinely shocking element of the four. Because Tulsi Gabbard's biolabs investigation is the formal validation, by the US intelligence apparatus itself, of what was officially classified as Kremlin disinformation in 2022.The chronology, captured across the New York Post, RT, the Pravda network, Newsweek, and the Wikipedia summary of the Ukraine bioweapons conspiracy theory:In March 2022, two weeks into Russia's full-scale invasion, the Russian Defence Ministry alleged that the United States was operating "secret biolabs" in Ukraine developing biological weapons. The claim was, at that point, comprehensively rejected by Western institutions. The Pentagon stated explicitly that its biological research in Ukraine focused on improving public health and agricultural safety. The New York Times described the Russian claim as "a baseless theory." NPR described it as "a lurid and difficult to believe claim." The Guardian, CBS News, Bloomberg, and others called it "a conspiracy theory." The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, the United Nations, the WHO, and Russian scientists themselves — including Russian scientists inside Russia — all rejected the bioweapons claim as Kremlin disinformation produced to retrospectively justify the invasion.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------ACTIVE CAMPAIGN:We are raising funds for 5 of 15 Vampire DronesSilicon Curtain for Kupiansk Vampires.

In 2024, it became illegal to sell, exchange, transport or breed more than 30 non-native plant-types in Ireland under both Irish and EU law because they are deemed to be invasive. However, some of these plants are still being sold here. RTÉ's Eithne Dodd reported on the matter.

In the wake of a new payments scandal, RTÉ Director-General Kevin Bakhurst has defended the broadcaster's decision to reclassify presenter Derek Mooney as a producer back in 2020 and said the move was not a side deal. How big of an embarrassment is this development for RTÉ? How resilient will it be moving forward? And is it losing the hotly-contested radio war?

Alan Kelly, Chair of the Oireachtas Media Committee, reacts to RTÉ's decision to revise its top 10 highest-earning presenters for 2024.

Aengus Cox, Consumer Affairs Correspondent, outlines the details behind RTÉ's decision to revise its top 10 highest-earning presenters for 2024.

Bertie Ahern has been talking about his controversial comments on immigration. In a video circulated on social media, the former Taoiseach expressed concern about the level of immigration, and about what he called, ‘the next generation of Muslims'. Rachael was joined by RTÉ political correspondent Barry Lenihan.

The Eurovision song contest takes place in the Austrian capital Vienna tomorrow night. Ireland won't be there, as won't Iceland, the Netherlands, Slovenia and Spain. RTÉ is boycotting the contest over the inclusion of Israel. RTÉ Arts and Media Correspondent, Evelyn O'Rourke, joined us with the latest from Vienna.

It's three years next month since RTÉ admitted giving hidden payments to presenter Ryan Tubridy, triggering a string of resignations and a tidal wave of headlines. Now, the broadcaster has corrected the record on the earnings of another presenter, Derek Mooney. Rachael was joined by Minister for Culture, Media and Communications Patrick O'Donovan.

This week on Playback. Bertie Ahern and that recording. RTÉ and salaries on the front page again. And Lyric turns its hand to heavy metal. All on Playback presented by Sinéad Mooney.

Today, RTÉ said it had previously excluded Mooney from its yearly published top 10 highest paid presenter list, as he has been considered a producer since 2020.RTÉ Chief Executive Kevin Backhurst justified the broadcaster's decision, while some have called out the parallels with the scandal which rocked RTÉ almost three years ago, after it was revealed that the national broadcaster had under-declared payments to former Late Late Show host, Ryan Tubridy…Joining Shane to discuss this is Patrick O Donovan, Minister for Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport.

O que sobrou, 81 anos depois, da Grande Guerra Patriótica para a Rússia, do desembarque da Força Expedicionária Brasileira em Monte Castelo para o Brasil e do legado de Yalta para a ordem internacional contemporânea? Neste episódio em parceria com o Observatório Rússia e América Latina, Daniela Vieira Secches (PUC Minas/Ruslat) recebe Mariana da Gama Janot (INCT-Ineu) e Valdir da Silva Bezerra (@o_russianista), mestre em Relações Internacionais pela Universidade Estatal de São Petersburgo e organizador, com Boris Zabolotsky, do livro 80 Anos da Vitória na Grande Guerra Patriótica (Blucher, 2025). A conversa atravessa a contribuição massiva (e hoje contestada) da União Soviética para a derrota do nazifascismo, a entrada do Brasil no conflito a partir das contradições do Estado Novo e o modo como a memória da guerra foi mobilizada, na era Putin, para preencher o vácuo de identidade aberto pelo colapso soviético. No bloco de notícias, Giovana Dias Branco e Leonardo Henrique Alves de Lima Nascimento, pesquisadores do Ruslat, repercutem o mês de abril: a reaproximação Rússia-Cuba em meio à crise energética da ilha, a suspensão temporária das exportações de fertilizantes russos e seu impacto sobre o agronegócio brasileiro, o relatório sobre o treinamento de mais de mil criadores de conteúdo latino-americanos com participação da RT em espanhol, e a Holding Accountable Russian Mercenaries Act 2.0 (HARM Act 2.0), projeto bipartidário que tenta requalificar o Grupo Wagner e seus sucessores como organizações terroristas no contexto da intervenção dos EUA na Venezuela. No último bloco, Laura Schneider de Lima (PUC Minas/Ruslat) conversa com Boris Zabolotsky (Unifacs) sobre a insegurança ontológica da Rússia no pós-Guerra Fria e indica três filmes incontornáveis para pensar a guerra sem glorificá-la.

Tonight is the 70th anniversary of Eurovision in Vienna. It's the first of the two semi-finals, with the final on Saturday.

Ryan goes deep on a post-mortem of the 2025 Green Bay Packers offense — and what he finds is even worse than memory suggests. There was exactly one game all season where the Packers got close to full strength on offense (Week 8 vs. Pittsburgh), and even that came without Jaden Reed and with a rotating right guard. Every other week was a new patch job.
