Here at Autocrat, we quite often cover a lot of mythical beasts. Examples would include the Lernaean Hydra which Heracles and Iolaus dealt with, the sphinx tormenting Thebes, and the sea monster Cetus which Perseus rescued Andromeda from.However, how possible would some of these creatures really be? Take, for example, the griffin and the hippogriff. We know what species create these two, so could we see whether the number of chromosomes they have make them feasible?Well, on today's episode, we re-release episode 67 of Biopedia to answer this very question!Sources for this episode:Ewart, J.

Quintus Smyrnaeus may have been the least favourite child according to Autocrat lore, but he did give us a new source called the Posthomerica- a.k.a. the Fall of Troy- which takes us all the way to the end of the Trojan War! Our first two books of the Posthomerica see two different attempts by outside armies to rescue Troy- and they both go the same way...Sources for this episode:Quintus Smyrnaeus (1934), The Fall of Troy.

There are three components that could end constitutional democracy as we know it, says scholar Peter L. Biro — fear and its weaponization, habituation which involves the consequence of not noticing, and the 'stupidification' of our minds and of our discourse. He argues that we, as law-abiding average citizens, have the power to save our democracy and defend against backsliding forces. Biro recently delivered a keynote address at the ominously titled conference, Liberal Democracy in the Rearview Mirror? at Massey College in Toronto.

A shorter episode today discussing book XXI of the Iliad! Achilles goes round murdering people like there's no tomorrow, and one of the rivers he keeps flinging people into objects to this.

This of the word autocrat and Robin Vos fit the meaning of the word. Let us talk about our own AUTOCRAT Speaker Robin Vos.

Jen Psaki breaks down how Donald Trump's recent behavior is rooted in his idolization of authoritarian leaders, including Hungary's Viktor Orban, who he recently hosted at Mar-a-lago. Rep. Adam Schiff joins Jen to discuss what Trump's security vulnerabilities and his desperation for power might mean for a potential second term, among other topics. Next, Jen outlines the right-wing's hypocritical critiques of Biden ahead of special counsel Robert Hur's testimony before Congress. Rep. Dan Goldman joins to preview Hur's testimony and discuss the importance of a former Trump employee's testimony in his classified documents case. Later, Jen discusses Sen. Katie Britt's misleading story about a victim of sex trafficking with independent journalist Jonathan Katz who helped unravel it on TikTok. Finally, Jen analyzes the messaging failures of the royal family as an altered photo of Kate Middleton intensifies an ongoing PR crisis.Check out our social pages below:https://twitter.com/InsideWithPsakihttps://www.instagram.com/InsideWithPsaki/https://www.tiktok.com/@insidewithpsakihttps://www.msnbc.com/jen-psaki

Putin's ‘Firehose of falsehoods' have led Russia to the brink of war, & Trump's stealing his playbook. Autocrat expert Ruth Ben-Ghiat joins Rick Wilson & Tara Setmayer for a look at Ukraine, lies, and Putin's American army on The Breakdown.

[00:30] Trump the Autocrat (11 minutes) This week's media narrative is still that Donald Trump is an autocratic dictator who must be stopped, but polls show that their desperate efforts to convince the public are not working. Despite not participating in the Republican debates, Trump is now polling at 51 percent in Iowa—32 points higher than the next highest Republican candidate. [11:30] The Coming United States of Europe (44 minutes) Russia's belligerent attack on Ukraine has made European nations very nervous. Bible prophecy indicates that a strong German leader will soon rise to lead a powerful alliance of 10 European nations or groups of nations. Events in Europe show that this prophecy is already in the early stages of fulfillment.

In Part 1, you learned how illiberal regimes have used the political tools at their disposal – and their rich friends – to turn the media outlets of democratic European countries into propaganda machines. In Part 2 we're exploring the legal tools needed to complete the job and talking to local journalists who found themselves on the receiving end of these takeovers. Finally, we're asking: how can you stop a wannabe autocrat doing this in *your* country?  This series was funded by Journalism Fund Europe, the Allianz Foundation, and supporters of The Europeans.

It's a playbook that's been used by illiberal governments across Central and Eastern Europe: muzzling the media until it resembles little more than propaganda. But how exactly does one go about dismantling the free press, in a democratic country within the European Union?  In Part 1 of this two-part special, Viktória Serdült, Dimitar Ganev and our producer Wojciech Oleksiak ask: how the hell did we get here? And how did the local press become such a powerful political weapon? This series was funded by Journalism Fund Europe, the Allianz Foundation, and supporters of The Europeans. Thanks for listening.

On the most recent episode of TPI's podcast "Two Think Minimum," Dr. Meicen Sun, assistant professor in the School of Information Sciences at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign joined TPI's Scott Wallsten to discuss her research on the effects of a country's decision to control international internet traffic. She finds that China's Great Firewall has helped increase profits of Chinese firms, but at the cost of reducing research quality as scientific collaboration and connections wither. This result presents a dilemma for autocrats if they try to balance short-term and long-term effects.

If the job of journalism is to speak truth to power, newspaper cartoonists do it with a paintbrush in hand and a tongue-in-cheek. This puts them in the crosshairs of thin-skinned dictators abroad and on “the front lines of the first amendment” at home, as Adam Zyglis, Canisius University, class of 2004, phrases it. Since graduating from the school paper to The Buffalo News as its youngest staffer, the Pulitzer Prize-winning Zyglis has, quite literally, drawn readers' attention to the issues of the day in a fashion that transcends language and both punches and tickles you in the gut. In episode 9 of Formative, we talk about the escalating backlash and hate felt by journalists thanks to social media; doing your best to fill your own shoes when following esteemed predecessors; and how he uses lies to, ultimately, tell the truth.

Then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah and said to him, “Behold, you are old and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now appoint for us a king to judge us like all the nations.” But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, “Give us a king to judge us.” And Samuel prayed to Yahweh. And Yahweh said to Samuel, “Obey the voice of the people in all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me from being king over them. - 1 Samuel 8:4-7   This Episode's Links: 00:24 – 1 Samuel 8 03:13 – Thoughts on the Reading 27:41 – Monarchy – Wikipedia 39:00 - Remember how "every House Republican voted against the Inflation Reduction Act"? – Harris Rigby, NTB 45:06 - Gold mine near Yellowstone purchased to avoid development – Brett French, Billings Gazette 56:06 - California Law Capping Magazine Capacity Struck Down By Federal Judge – Leif Le Mahieu, DW 1:03:05 – Autocracy - Wikipedia --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/garrett-ashley-mullet/message

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with the Hungarian autocrat Viktor Orban, who was accused of pure Nazi rhetoric by one of his own aides--but that did not prevent him from receiving the red carpet treatment by Republicans at CPAC. Also tonight, the Russian show trial ended just as everyone knew it would: with a barbaric sentence for basketball star Brittney Griner. So how soon until a deal gets done to bring her home? Plus, in the Alex Jones defamation trial the jury has returned a verdict on compensatory damages for his Sandy Hook lies. Our legal expert explains the details. Finally, Charles Booker, candidate for U.S. Senate in Kentucky, joins The ReidOut on the four officers charged by the Department of Justice in the case of Breonna Taylor's shooting death. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
