On Thursday, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton testified in front of the House Oversight Committee to answer questions during their investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Secretary Clinton said, “I do not recall ever encountering Mr. Epstein,” and referred to the GOP-led committee's handling of the Epstein files as “partisan political theater.” Following her deposition, she told reporters that Republicans asked her about UFOs and the Pizzagate conspiracy theory. Bart Jansen, White House correspondent for USA Today, laid out what we should expect next in the Epstein investigation.And in headlines, the U.S. and Iran hold more indirect talks over Tehran's nuclear program, a federal judge rules that the Internal Revenue Service illegally shared confidential taxpayer data with the Department of Homeland Security, and a new Kansas law invalidates driver's licenses and birth certificates held by some transgender residents.Show Notes: Check out Bart's work – https://www.usatoday.com/staff/2648278001/bart-jansen/ Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

If you struggle with the terrifying reality that everything changes, this conversation is for you. Bart van Melik is a meditation teacher, psychotherapist, and our Teacher of the Month for January. In this live session recorded on Zoom with subscribers to the 10% with Dan Harris app, Bart and Dan explore one of Bart's favorite teachings: "Keep calmly knowing change"—four words that supposedly distill all 84,000 of the Buddha's teachings. We talk about: Why attuning to the flow of things brings peace (even though change is terrifying)—and what the Buddha said on his deathbed about impermanence How to introduce meditation to kids without making it seem difficult or boring  The three dimensions of mindfulness: internal (your own mind), external (noticing other people's breath on the subway), and relational (the field we're all co-creating together) Whether connecting through venting and complaining is harmless or something to examine more closely "Useless speech" (sampappalāpa)—the Pali term for saying stuff that doesn't really matter, and why the urge is often just "look at me" Why Bart is still on this path after all these years: community Bart closes with a beautiful dedication about coming home to the body and appreciating that we show up in community.

Bart sits down with Curt Baney and his son Hayden — the leaders behind Oxford Collection — and what unfolds isn't just a business story. It's a story about learning from your dad, building something together, and believing there are no limits.Curt shares how his father started building motels decades ago — and how construction turned into a hospitality brand across the West Coast. Hayden talks about growing up on a ranch, becoming a pilot at a young age, and sitting in his dad's office every day just listening and learning.They talk about:Why they give away breakfastWhy hospitality still needs human connectionWhy discomfort is part of growthAnd why they're still doing this… because it's funIt's simple. It's honest. And it's a reminder that business is really about people.Major Takeaways Growth feels uncomfortable — but it's worth it.There aren't real limits… only the ones we believe in.Family businesses work when there's trust.Hospitality is about care, not just rooms.You can build something big without losing your values.Memorable Quotes “As long as we're having fun, we're going to keep doing it.”“There really is no limitation. You can do it.”“Most people don't think out of the box.”“It was uncomfortable… but it was worth it.”Why It MattersBecause we live in a world that's becoming more automated and less personal.This episode reminds us that:Relationships still matter.Mentorship matters.Family matters.And doing hard things leads to real growth.It's not just about hotels.It's about legacy.

Polarisatie in organisaties neemt toe. Teams verharden, standpunten worden identiteiten en het midden komt onder druk te staan. Wat is er dan werkelijk aan de hand? En waarom helpt klassieke conflicthantering vaak niet?In zijn boek 'Meesterschap in polarisatie - Doorbreek de dynamiek van wij-zij-denken' laat polarisatie-expert Bart Brandsma zien dat polarisatie iets anders is dan een conflict. Een conflict heeft een plaats, tijd en probleem-eigenaar. Polarisatie speelt zich af in hoofden en draait om wij-zij-denken. Het stille midden wordt daarbij voortdurend onder druk gezet om positie te kiezen: dat noemt Brandsma polarisatiedruk.In dit gesprek legt hij uit wat pushers en joiners zijn, waarom de polen elkaar nodig hebben en hoe leiders onbedoeld brandstof kunnen leveren aan polarisatie. Ook plaatst hij een kritische kanttekening bij het snelle pleidooi voor dialoog. Dialoog is iets anders dan discussie - en wie dat verschil niet begrijpt, kan polarisatie versterken in plaats van verminderen.Volgens Brandsma vraagt polarisatie in organisaties om een andere vorm van leiderschap: de zesde positie. Niet boven de partijen staan als bruggenbouwer, maar je positioneren in het midden. Luisteren naar het stille midden, woorden geven aan het echte dilemma en waarachtig spreken. Dat vraagt moed, timing en empathie.Wat kun je als manager of bestuurder doen wanneer wij-zij-denken je organisatie binnensluipt? Hoe herken je polarisatiedruk? En hoe ontwikkel je meesterschap in polarisatie?StellingenElke aflevering van De Boekenpraktijk legt host Willem van Leeuwen de gast een aantal stellingen voor. De stellingen in deze aflevering zijn:1. De grootste aanjagers van polarisatie zijn niet de extremen maar het zwijgende midden;2. Wie vandaag oproept tot meer dialoog begrijpt polarisatie meestal niet.LinksDe boeken van Bart Brandsma bestel je via managementboek.nl > https://www.managementboek.nl/auteur/59507/bart-brandsmaOverIn de Boekenpraktijk, de podcast van Managementboek, praat Willem van Leeuwen met auteurs van nieuw verschenen boeken over de brede thema's ontwikkeling en verandering: van persoonlijke ontwikkeling en verandering tot op het niveau van een gehele organisatie.

"I'm currently incarcerated... Convicted of a crime I didn't even commit! Huh! 'Attempted murder;' now, honestly, what is that? Do they give a Nobel Prize for 'attempted chemistry?'

This episode is sponsored by Bravura Security. Learn more at bravurasecurity.com/idac.This is a Sponsor Spotlight episode of the Identity at the Center podcast. Jim McDonald and Jeff Steadman are joined by Bart Allan, General Manager at Bravura Security, to discuss why enterprise password management remains a critical piece of identity security even as organizations pursue passwordless strategies. Bart shares Bravura's history dating back to 1992, starting with self-service password reset and evolving into a full identity security platform spanning identity management, privileged access management, and enterprise password management. The conversation digs into the uncomfortable truth that while organizations may get 80% of their applications onto modern authentication, the remaining 20% still rely on passwords, creating real security risk. Bart explains how treating enterprise passwords the way organizations treat privileged credentials, with automated rotation and centralized management, can remove the human element from password creation and reduce exposure to breaches and social engineering. The group also discusses help desk social engineering attacks, breach recovery challenges, deployment strategies for rolling out an enterprise password manager, and the emerging role of password managers as passkey managers for portability.

Evropská unie si dala v úterý práci, aby bylo vidět, jak nesmírně jí leží na srdci Ukrajina a její zápas s ruskou agresí. Při příležitosti 4. výročí invaze se mimořádně sešel Evropský parlament a k jeho členům promluvil na dálku prezident Zelenskyj. Poslanci pak schválili drtivou většinou rezoluci, která ostře odsuzuje Rusko a vyzývá evropské vlády k další podpoře Ukrajiny, jejíž budoucnost vidí jednoznačně v Evropské unii.

Why is it so hard to do what we know is good for us? You know you need to make better use of your gym membership, clean up your diet, or manage stress better… Why is it so hard to do what we know is good for us? Most adults don't struggle with information. We know we should move more, eat better, manage stress, and prioritize sleep. And yet, consistency is where things fall apart. In this episode of The Health Made Simple Show, Dr. Bart explores the real reason progress stalls — and why going solo might be the biggest obstacle to long-term health. After nearly 30 years in practice, he's seen a consistent pattern: people lean into what they're already good at and avoid the one area that would actually move the needle. In this episode, you'll learn: How to identify your personal "weak link" in health Why improving your strongest habit won't create real transformation The three core categories that determine long-term wellness Why most adults plateau (even when they're trying) How accountability accelerates long-term results Longevity isn't about stacking more strategies. It's about addressing the area you've been avoiding. And if you're ready to stop going solo and build a structured, personalized plan with real accountability:

Bitcoin ontwikkelaars hebben een voorstel gedaan om de encryptie te beschermen tegen de toekomstige dreiging van quantumcomputers. De community kan het voorstel met de naam BIP360 nu bekijken en beoordelen. Wanneer quantumcomputers een dreiging worden voor het Bitcoinnetwerk is nog gissen, toch willen ontwikkelaars alvast handelen op de ontwikkeling. Diverse publieke Bitcoinsleutels zouden het gevaar lopen gekraakt te worden, de voorgenomen upgrade brengt wijzigingen aan in de encryptie om hacks te voorkomen In de prijsanalyse gaat Tim Stolte, portfoliomanager bij Amdax en host van Een Nieuwe Koers in op de lichte daling van de koers afgelopen zondag. Volgens Stolte wordt deze onterecht toegedicht aan de beslissing van het Amerikaanse Hooggerechtshof om de importheffingen van de Amerikaanse president Donald Trump ongeldig te verklaren. De koers sukkelt sinds de scherpe daling van begin februari door op het huidige niveau, Stolte waarschuwt dat dit niet automatisch betekent dat de bodem van de bearmarket al bereikt is. Ook bespreken we de vermeende barstjes in de AI-bubbel, hoe groot zijn de gevolgen van het teruglopende enthousiasme in all things AI.

In deze Deep Dive duiken we in de oude doos met Bart Mol van Satoshi Radio, het Crypto Journaal en Bitcoin Alpha. Hoe hebben de grote cryptoverhalen van vroeger de cryptowereld van nu gevormd? Om die vraag te beantwoorden kijken we terug naar de verwoede pogingen van de Winklevoss broers om een Bitcoin ETF uit te geven, de blockchainhype van 2017 toen alles en iedereen dacht dat blockchain de wereld ging veranderen en naar het Libra-project van Facebook. Ook de legendarische Bitconnect conferentie en de Terra/Luna Death Spiral passeren de revue. Alle verhalen vertellen iets over hoe we naar Bitcoin en crypto keken, hoe bedrijven en personen zich profileerden naar de buitenwereld en ook hoe het publiek omging met de hype die er soms rond crypto hangt. Sommige initiatieven strandden, andere inspireren bedrijven om bepalende stappen te maken die de wereld van het geld nog steeds vorm geven. We bespreken hypes, trends en alle te mooie beloftes van de afgelopen vijftien jaar in deze aflevering van de Deep Dive.

Bart Smith spotlights the market repricing of AI, arguing that we're a “good bit away” from the end of volatility. He compares the notion of AI as a disruptor vs an enabler, and how that helps sort out the winners and losers. Bart focuses on how AI could impact banking, and where the sector could see improvements. The “most critical threat” banks face is credit, Bart says, pointing to private credit woes that could spill over.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Willem-Alexander begon de fliten met Máxima en zou het nou toch nog wat worden tussen Bart en Sabine in Big Brother!??! Presentator Pieter van der Wielen zou ongetwijfeld wel eens een aflevering van Big Brother hebben gekeken in het najaar van 1999, maar hij was voornamelijk bezig met een heel andere stad dan Almere waar de studio van Big Brother stond: Parijs! Toen Pieter rond de eeuwwisseling een bijzondere Parijse hotelgids in handen kreeg, overviel hem de gedachte om in elk van de honderdzestig beschreven hotels te moeten slapen. Zo gezegd, zo gedaan. Pieter sliep in accommodaties als Hotel Lautrec Opera, Hotel de Notre Dame en Hotel des Carmes. De bijzonderste overnachtingen, vreemdste ontmoetingen en historische anekdotes schreef hij op in het boek ‘Hotels in Parijs 1999' – een ode aan de lichtstad.  Pieter is bij ons en Dolf wil graag weten waar het lekker tukken is.

Aunt regrets stealing his virginity. She makes it right.By regularguy 13. Listen to the ►Podcast at Steamy Stories.Thursday, Feb 13thHarvey Fielding, the aged patriarch of the family stood and looked out with pride at the group sitting around the dinner table. Three generations were present. With him, were his two daughters and their families. Harvey’s wife was not with them. Unfortunately, she had passed away.They were at his eldest daughter’s house in Richmond, Virginia. Meadow was a divorced woman with a single child. Her daughter, Wendy, was twenty and a sophomore at Randolph-Macon College.Sitting across from them was his other daughter, Breeze, and her family: her husband, Bill and their son, Arlo.The group had enjoyed a good meal.Harvey Fielding said, “I stand here a proud and happy man. These get-togethers are too short and too infrequent.”His family murmured their agreement.He continued, “Congratulations Meadow, on being recognized by the National Association of Women Lawyers for the mentoring program you run for high school girls.”Everyone raised their glass and congratulated her. Then Harvey said, “Congratulations to Arlo for his scholarship to my favorite school, Randolph-Macon College. If I say so myself, it is an excellent institution of higher learning. I am pleased that you’re planning to major in Philosophy and Ethics.”Breeze laughed and said good-naturedly, “Father, it looks like you won. Arlo has your temperament. I tried to develop his artist side, but he has none.”“Wendy caught that bug,” Meadow said with a laugh. “Maybe you and I should trade kids.”Breeze was a talented artist. She inherited that skill from her mother. Like her mother, Breeze could draw, paint and sculpt. She and Bill earned their living selling the art they produced.Harvey dramatically lowered his voice and said, “Arlo, happy as I am that you’ll be joining your cousin Wendy at R-MC, unfortunately, I have to report that the quality of the teaching staff there has diminished significantly recently.”He was kidding and everyone knew it. They all laughed. He had retired from the college last year after thirty years of teaching philosophy and ethics.He waited for the laughter to die and then said, “And lastly, let us say bon voyage to our travelers. Breeze and Bill are off tomorrow for a well-deserved, ten-day vacation to St. Bart’s. While they are having fun in the sun, the rest of us will be suffering through a cold and dreary Virginia February.”Breeze said, “I’ll send you all photos from the warm and sunny Caribbean.”“No thanks,” Harvey chirped. “I don’t need to see pictures of you two naked.”The family laughed. Bill and Breeze were artists, but they weren’t free spirits. Everyone knew them to be serious, shy, quiet souls. They would never frolic naked on a beach or anywhere else for that matter.Harvey waited until he had everyone’s attention and then he said, “I will close the night with a quote from a brilliant philosopher.” He raised his glass and said, “To alcohol: the cause of, and solution to all the world’s problems. At least so says Homer Simpson.”Cheers and laughter broke out. Everyone raised their glass and drank.^^^After the meal, Bill and Breeze said their goodbyes. They had to catch an early flight out of Baltimore-Washington Airport and they were spending the night at a hotel near the airport.Breeze hugged her boy and said, “Enjoy the tour of the campus and sitting in on some classes. Promise me you will talk to the other students.” She looked concerned.“Ah Mom,” Arlo whined.Arlo took after his parents. He too was a shy person. He was naturally quiet, but it was more than that, he was awkward around people and uncomfortable to engage with them. He was not a “people person” and had never had a lot of friends.His behavior was partly due to his timid nature. His upbringing also contributed to his demeanor. When he was young, he only had limited opportunities to interact with other children. He hadn’t attended regular school. He was home schooled.His parents taught him what they thought was necessary and let books supplement their efforts. He became a big reader and gravitated to ethics because it was a field of study that suited his nature. He could read and think and pursue it alone.Arlo’s opportunity to connect with other kids was hurt by his family’s nomadic lifestyle. The family was forced to move to follow artistic projects. He was always the new kid in town and he often moved before anyone got to know him or he got to know them.His parents prayed he would outgrow his shyness. They hoped that college would be that time.Wendy was the next person to say her goodbyes. She was returning to school.“Bye Mom,” Wendy said. “My sorority is having an event.”Meadow knew that was code for “I have a party to go to”. She was fine with that. Wendy was a good girl and she kept her grades up. However, she felt they should give her nephew an opportunity to attend the party.She said, “Wendy, why don’t you take Arlo with you?”Wendy was planning to hook up with her boyfriend. She didn’t want to be stuck with her nerdy cousin. However, she knew she couldn’t object outright. She decided to roll the dice and invite him. She was betting his shy nature would cause him to decline.“Arlo,” Wendy asked brightly. “Would you like to go? There’s a party tonight. Lots of people will be there.”Arlo started to sweat. Crowds and parties scared him. He stammered as he responded, “Ah. Ah. No, thank you. Gramps and I were planning to discuss ethics.”Wendy smiled. She was happy her plan had worked and she when off to the party unencumbered.Meadow cleaned up and headed off to bed. It had been a long day for her.Harvey and Arlo had an enjoyable time discussing philosophy and ethics. Harvey played the role of professor. During their conversation, he asked,“Arlo, what does it mean to be good.”Arlo spoke clearly. He was comfortable talking to his grandfather and very comfort talking about ethics. He gave the textbook answer. “To be honest, courageous, respectful and concerned about others. To be a good citizen. Obey the laws, protect the environment, be informed and be involved with society.”“Why should we strive to live by these standards?” the old professor asked.“Our world would be unpleasant and chaotic if we didn’t. We’d be miserable if everyone lied and cheated and was mean to each another. If people acted on their baser instincts of greed and self-interest, we couldn’t build a functioning society.”“Do you believe the goals of humans are joy, happiness, and contentment and the best way to achieve these goals is ethical behavior?”Arlo nodded.“I agree also,” Harvey said. “Now, how do we get there?”They discussed different versions of ethical theory. Arlo was a proponent of one theory. His Grandfather favored another.Harvey summed up his argument this way. He said, “As you know, in consequential ethics, the outcome determines the morality of the act.”Arlo interjected, “For you, the end justifies the mean. Do you really believe there are no standards of behavior that should be upheld?”“Yes and no,” Harvey conceded. “What makes an action right or wrong is the consequences of the action. Being truthful is a noble goal, but I believe it is okay to lie sometimes.”“But a lie is a lie,” Arlo stated. For him, everything was black or white.“Yes, a lie is a lie,” Harvey agreed. “But a lie can be a good thing. Consider this scenario, an overweight wife asks her husband if her butt is too big. Which is the better choice? If he’s truthful and says "Yes, dear. You’re fat.” He hurt her feelings. If he lies and says, “No. You look fine.” She is happy and believe me, it increases the husband’s happiness too.“"That’s an innocent lie,” Arlo pointed out. “You need to be truthful about significant things.”“Like life or death issues?”“Certainly.”Harvey said, “What would you do in this circumstance? A criminal breaks into your home. He demands to know if anyone else in the house?. You know your mother is upstairs. Do you tell him? Or do you attempt to protect her and say ‘I’m the only one here.’”“I lie to protect my mother,” Arlo answered.“Exactly,” Harvey said. “It is acceptable, I would argue necessary at times, to break the moral code to be moral. The essence of morality is determined by the outcome of the act. One cannot blindly follow a set of precepts and expect to achieve good results.”Arlo said, “You make a good argument for your system, but I still have problems with it. Many people believe in God and follow the Ten Commandments. That is a good thing for them and society. They would say you are replacing God’s law with man’s judgment. Religious people won’t like that. And considering the nature of man, won’t a man always find a way to justify his behavior?"And isn’t it a better, simpler and faster method of moral behavior to have standards and to live by them? I can see the world grinding to a halt as we all say 'Time out. I need to do a moral calculation of all my possible actions to see which is best for the greatest number of people.’”Harvey laughed and said, “This is exactly why I find ethics so fascinating. Lying is bad. You should strive to always tell the truth unless the situation dictates that a lie is the better choice. You should follow God’s laws except when you know better. The end justifies the mean except when it causes you to break some moral code.”Harvey smiled good-naturedly and said, “Another reason I find Ethics so fascinating is because it is the perfect excuse to argue and drink. Two of my favorite things.”Harvey stood and finished his drink. He was impressed with his grandson’s grasp of the subject and his intellect.“Arlo, I’ll leave you with one more question that may push you to my side. If the tip of your dick is resting on the labia of a beautiful and willing female, would you lie to her so both of you could enjoy out of this world sex?"Let’s say she pauses and asks if you love her. What are you going to say?"In my scenario, you like her, but you aren’t in love with her. If you are completely honest, you and she miss out on a wonderful experience. You deny each other the joy of great sex."Ethics is about good and evil, right and wrong. If the goal of your actions is the greatest good for the greatest number, then you must lie and fuck her. To needlessly uphold a rigid, abstract standard in this situation serves no purpose, correct?”Harvey walked away. He grabbed his coat and returned to his house. Arlo went to bed. He laid on the floral sheets and pondered the last question his grandfather put to him. His dick was hard and thought the answer was obvious.^^^While the virgin, Arlo, was thinking about sex, his cousin, Wendy, was having sex.She had recently begun dating the handsome captain of college’s baseball team. That was a big boost to her social standing because he was a big man on campus. All her girlfriends were jealous. At the moment, Wendy was giving him a blowjob.“Oh!” Wendy cried in distress. The hot brunette gagged on his dick and pulled off. She coughed repeatedly. Her eyes watered.Warren, her boyfriend, chuckled. He knew he had a big dick and he enjoyed watching his conquests struggle with it. The only thing he enjoyed more was when they beg for it.“What’s the matter, Wendy?” he asked pretending he didn’t know.Wendy had been struggling with the girth of his cock as she knelt topless beside him on his bed in his bedroom blowing him. When the bastard rocked his hips forward, he drove his big dick in deep, too deep into her mouth. He caused her to gag and cough.He had done it on purpose just to mess with her. While she coughed, he guided her to her back. He hiked up her dress and pulled her panties off. He sat beside her and gently brushed the hair from her tanned face.He consoled her, “Better now? Good. Let me see your beautiful face.”She smiled at his words of false concern. She said, “Yes. I’m better.”“Good.”Warren climbed on top of her and shoved his cock inside her.“OH!” she cried. “Warren! I need time.”He pushed his dick in further and further. Her internal organs were rudely shoved aside.She broke out into a sweat. She spread her legs as wide as possible as if that would make his sudden penetration any easier.“Oh. Oh. Oh!” she grunted in shock.“Oh baby, you’re the best. I love your tight pussy,” he cooed. He did love a snug cunt. He also loved surprising his women and watching them squirm and wince when he rudely slid into them before they were ready.He looked into her eyes and saw the shock, the pain, and fear his action generated. It made fucking her more exciting for him. He casually stroked in and out of her. He saw her battle to accommodate his size and the sudden assault.She didn’t complain. They rarely did. She struggled at first. She worked hard to handle him. Her body adapted and lubricated.Warren grinned at her. It grew into a full smile when he saw a flicker of pleasure replace her look of distress.“Em. Oh. Yeah,” she groaned as her vagina fully opened and her lubrication level maxed out. Pleasure replaced pain and then, the fucking began.Warren was a sexual narcissist. Like any good narcissist, he had great admiration for himself. He also had a grandiose sense of his sexual prowess. He didn’t have sex, he put on virtuoso performances. When he wasn’t abusing her, Wendy felt things and levels of pleasure no other man elicited.He worked his magic. She came on his cock twice. She was now a puddle of quivering flesh.“Oh God! Oh God! Warren come inside me,” she begged. “I can’t take it. If you make me come one more time, I’m going to pass out.”Those were the words he was dying to hear. He ramped up his efforts and made her come against her wishes.“Oh God. Oh God! Oh. Oh! Oh!” she cried out.Wendy came hard. Another glorious orgasm wracked her body. She felt dizzy and then experienced a sudden loss of consciousness.Warren watched and congratulated himself, “There it is, la petite mort. The little death.”He was proud that he had fucked her so well that she had fainted. Wendy woke to hear him groaning and still screwing her, “Oh yeah. Oh, fuck. Ah.”She hugged him and said the words he loved to hear. “Oh, Warren. You fuck me like no one else.”That punched his ticket. He enjoyed hearing those words more than he had enjoyed having sex with her. He felt victorious once again and he came.^^^Friday, February 14thAunt Meadow and Arlo had breakfast together. She said, “Today’s the big day. So, you’re going to sit in on some classes?”He nodded to avoid speaking.They left at the same time. He went to the college to tour the campus and she went to prosecute a child molester.Arlo returned to this Aunt’s house late-afternoon. No one was there. He watched television.“Indiana Jones, you rock,” Arlo said.He had just watched the movie “Raiders of the Lost Ark”. It was his favorite movie. In his dreams, he was the handsome, swashbuckling hero. He won the girl and saved the day. In real life, he was a shy eighteen-year-old who was awkward around people and especially timid and nervous around females. Needless to say, he didn’t date and he was a virgin.He walked into the bathroom and said, “I love indoor plumbing.”He peed in the toilet, flushed and said, “Why do my parents put up with a smelly, camper toilet when if we lived like normal people we could all use this wonderful, hygienic device?”Since his parents moved frequently to work on commissioned art project, they lived in a camper that they pulled by an SUV.“How about a shower?” he asked rhetorically.He answered himself continuing to talk out loud. “That sounds good. A nice, long, hot shower. Another marvelous experience denied to trailer people.”Arlo undressed. He dropped his clothes in a pile on the floor.He said, “Oh. They have a hamper.”He left his clothes on the floor and went to the wicker container. He flipped open the top. He saw a sexy black, lacy bra and a pair of panties.“Whoa!”He picked up the bra. He had never seen something so beautiful, so sexy, and certainly never on a live girl. He was not the kind of guy who could seduce a woman.None of his mother’s bras were like this one. She was a petite woman with small breasts. She usually didn’t bother with one because she didn’t need to. If she wore one, they were soft, stretchy bandeau tube style bras. Functional. Not sexy.“36C,” he snickered as he read the label. “She certainly is the big sister.”He examined the cups and fingered the lace. His dick got hard thinking about the soft flesh that filled them. Next, he picked up the underwear. It also had lace and was alluring. He studied it and did the unthinkable. He brought the crotch to his nose and sniffed.“Oh! Em.”He was overwhelmed with the acrid, musky odor of a woman. His dick twitched and grew hard. He said, “Aunt Meadow wore these! This is her scent.”He held the panties to his nose with his left hand and stroked his dick with his right.“Mum,” he groaned breathing deeply.He looked around for something to use as a lubricant. He spied hand lotion on the counter by the sink. He pumped a large amount on his hand and masturbated. He sniffed the panties, stroked his cock and kept thinking about how this article of clothing had been pressed up against a woman’s pussy.“Oh! Oh! God!” he called out as he came in the sink. He dropped the panties and gripped the counter for support as he jacked off into the basin.“Oh! Fuck,” he cried as the last of his spunk landed in the sink. His heart was pounding and his breathing was ragged. He rested a bit and then turned on the tap and cleaned up. He sent his cum down the drain.He returned the sexy underwear to the dirty clothes hamper and hopped in the shower. He shampooed his hair and scrubbed his body hard. He was trying to wash away the sin of masturbation made worse by sniffing his Aunt’s soiled underwear.^^^

Aunt regrets stealing his virginity. She makes it right.By regularguy 13. Listen to the ►Podcast at Steamy Stories.Thursday, Feb 13thHarvey Fielding, the aged patriarch of the family stood and looked out with pride at the group sitting around the dinner table. Three generations were present. With him, were his two daughters and their families. Harvey’s wife was not with them. Unfortunately, she had passed away.They were at his eldest daughter’s house in Richmond, Virginia. Meadow was a divorced woman with a single child. Her daughter, Wendy, was twenty and a sophomore at Randolph-Macon College.Sitting across from them was his other daughter, Breeze, and her family: her husband, Bill and their son, Arlo.The group had enjoyed a good meal.Harvey Fielding said, “I stand here a proud and happy man. These get-togethers are too short and too infrequent.”His family murmured their agreement.He continued, “Congratulations Meadow, on being recognized by the National Association of Women Lawyers for the mentoring program you run for high school girls.”Everyone raised their glass and congratulated her. Then Harvey said, “Congratulations to Arlo for his scholarship to my favorite school, Randolph-Macon College. If I say so myself, it is an excellent institution of higher learning. I am pleased that you’re planning to major in Philosophy and Ethics.”Breeze laughed and said good-naturedly, “Father, it looks like you won. Arlo has your temperament. I tried to develop his artist side, but he has none.”“Wendy caught that bug,” Meadow said with a laugh. “Maybe you and I should trade kids.”Breeze was a talented artist. She inherited that skill from her mother. Like her mother, Breeze could draw, paint and sculpt. She and Bill earned their living selling the art they produced.Harvey dramatically lowered his voice and said, “Arlo, happy as I am that you’ll be joining your cousin Wendy at R-MC, unfortunately, I have to report that the quality of the teaching staff there has diminished significantly recently.”He was kidding and everyone knew it. They all laughed. He had retired from the college last year after thirty years of teaching philosophy and ethics.He waited for the laughter to die and then said, “And lastly, let us say bon voyage to our travelers. Breeze and Bill are off tomorrow for a well-deserved, ten-day vacation to St. Bart’s. While they are having fun in the sun, the rest of us will be suffering through a cold and dreary Virginia February.”Breeze said, “I’ll send you all photos from the warm and sunny Caribbean.”“No thanks,” Harvey chirped. “I don’t need to see pictures of you two naked.”The family laughed. Bill and Breeze were artists, but they weren’t free spirits. Everyone knew them to be serious, shy, quiet souls. They would never frolic naked on a beach or anywhere else for that matter.Harvey waited until he had everyone’s attention and then he said, “I will close the night with a quote from a brilliant philosopher.” He raised his glass and said, “To alcohol: the cause of, and solution to all the world’s problems. At least so says Homer Simpson.”Cheers and laughter broke out. Everyone raised their glass and drank.^^^After the meal, Bill and Breeze said their goodbyes.

Y'all are going to LOVE this episode with my old friend Tim Timmons and my new friend, Milo Ventimiglia. You may know Milo from Gilmore Girls or This is Us, but he's playing Tim Timmons in the brand new movie, I Can Only Imagine 2, which comes out TOMORROW! Go get your tickets, you've got to see this movie.  Tim toured with Bart Millard and MercyMe, and this movie tells the story of how Tim unknowingly brought renewed gratitude to Bart's life through their friendship—and the powerful lessons of grief and gratitude we learn through Tim's journey with terminal cancer. You're also going to hear the incredible new but lifelong friendship that's been created between Milo and Tim as Milo researched his life and got to know him in order to play this role. It's really incredible to see. Tim also has a book coming out on March 3 called Waking Up Again, so preorder your copy so you have it the day it comes out! . . . . Thank you to our sponsors!

In Part 2, we pick up where we left off in Part 1. Toshio talks about those chess players at Powell and Market and other early impressions of The City before they moved here. Having grown up in Orange County, with its underfunded public transit system, Toshio always wanted to live somewhere that had a subway. Being able to walk was important, too, in contrast with SoCal, where you pretty much need a vehicle to get anywhere. SF and The Bay checked those boxes. Like Part 1, this episode is rife with sidebars. I guess that's just what happens when you get two people together who both like to talk. The first one in Part 2 is about running any sort of independent media within the larger framework of late-stage capitalism, especially when the content you create is inherently anti-capitalist. You know, light stuff. I try to get us back to Toshio's story of moving to San Francisco, then I can't help myself—another sidebar, this time about Craigslist, which of course Toshio used to help find a place to live in San Francisco. They were able to get work, as we've mentioned, but finding housing was much harder. Their first two places were in the Mission. They left the first one after only one month, thanks to a fire. Their next spot was at 24th and Bartlett, close to BART. Toshio splinters off to talk about some of the other spots they looked at and open houses they went to. "Oof," they say. In 2013, they were able to move into a below-market-rate apartment near Civic Center (the very home where we recorded this episode, in fact). Toshio is their own landlord, something I congratulate them on. Sometime after they moved in, they met their boyfriend. They also got exposed to more and more leftist politics in SF during this time. They talk about coming to terms with the fact that the world they want to see will probably not come about in their lifetime. That's a hard pill to swallow, but it's probably best to accept that and then fight like hell to overcome it. Toshio's light-green living magazine job afforded them the opportunity to write for further left-leaning publications like Truthout. When Al Jazeera opened its US office in The City, they got work there. They've also written for Them and Vice. It all served as background for Toshio to launch their own outlet—Sad Francisco. We go on a sidebar about the corporate takeover of the news, and how local outlets and indie operations like our own have stepped in to try to fill that void. Toshio mentions some newer publications that they're excited about, including Bay Area Current, The Phoenix Project, and Coyote Media. (Ed. note: Look for an upcoming episode with Coyote Collective founding member Soleil Ho.) Sad Francisco started (and continues) as an effort to fill the massive gaps left by said corporate media in the Bay Area. Toshio was curious about the podcast medium, and kicked things off reading and riffing on versions of 2,000-word pieces they had already written for traditional media. They mention that we're at a point now where every journalist, no matter the medium or the employer, should probably be diversifying the distribution of their work. I couldn't agree more. Sidenote: I've been witnessing Toshio's move to self-facing camera reels, with them laying out whatever issue is on their mind, then expounding on it. It's a delivery mechanism I see more and more of, in my limited social media consumption. My wife, Erin (of Bitch Talk Podcast), has begun doing more of these as well, and they seem to resonate with folks. I haven't yet decided whether or when to do them myself for Storied. But I digress … Toshio feels that in 2026, people are looking for authenticity. They don't care so much if your media product is polished. They're more interested in substance, which would be a gain for society, if true. When I ask them how folks can find, follow, and support Sad Francisco, Toshio mentions the podcast's Patreon page. Follow them on Instagram @sadfrancis.co. And check out their website, sadfrancis.co. They're also available on most podcast apps and YouTube. Another sidebar here about how much I used to love Twitter (RIP). We end the episode with my asking Toshio how they do it, how they report so well and so relentlessly on the vast amounts of sketchy shit going down in San Francisco and The Bay. Their answer involves their various journalistic jobs and gigs over the years, and how that work trained them to package up complex ideas and explain incredibly complicated scenarios in a simple, easy-to-understand way. Then Toshio and I indulge in a lovefest for 48Hills.org before wrapping.

Are you overwhelmed by all the health information in 2026? Wearables… at-home labs… AI tools… fast acting drugs… We've never had more data, yet why do so many of us feel more confused than ever when it comes to health and longevity? In this episode of The Health Made Simple Show, Dr. Bart tackles an escalating conversation he's seeing in his clinic and answers questions like:  Why more data doesn't automatically mean better health How overwhelm leads to inaction Why having a clear health philosophy changes everything The hidden limitation of AI-driven lab analysis How nervous system regulation impacts long-term healing Why you need a "health quarterback" to coordinate your plan Health and longevity doesn't have to feel chaotic, but it does require coordination. And if you're ready to build a personalized strategy instead of chasing trends:

Side hustles aren't just extra cash—they can be a path to freedom, flexibility, and real financial security… if you design them right. In this episode, Shaun Enders sits down with lifelong entrepreneur Bart Merrell to break down what separates a true side hustle from a part-time job, why most people pick the wrong hustle, and how to spot opportunities hiding in plain sight. Bart shares stories from building multiple income streams (including dog training, AI consulting, and more), plus the mindset shifts that help people move past fear, imposter syndrome, and overthinking. You'll also hear how to avoid creating a "high-paying job" that traps your time, how to choose a hustle that matches your energy and season of life, and why your best opportunity might be closer than you think—maybe even in your own backyard. What you'll learn The difference between a side hustle and a part-time job The #1 mistake people make: building a hustle that becomes another job Bart's simple framework: What you like to do / need to do / already do How to choose a hustle that fits your values, lifestyle, and goals Why mentors matter when you're trying to refine an idea How to beat imposter syndrome and start before you feel "ready" A practical way to evaluate risk before investing money into an idea How to build income streams for "when life happens" Memorable moments Bart's "388 days without a day off" lesson—and how he redesigned his hustle A non-tech side hustle example that creates income with minimal marketing "Preparedness + opportunity + action" (and why action is the missing piece) The "acres of diamonds" story… with a Bart-style twist Connect with Bart Bart's Ideal Side Hustle resource: www.youridealsidehustle.com (Find his 1K Blind Spot Assessment and ways to connect.)

Host Jeremy C. Park interviews Bart Lewis, Founder and Head of Growth Marketing at King Creative Co., who highlights how he and his team help businesses grow by combining strategy, clear messaging, websites and SEO (Search Engine Optimization), and consistent marketing execution to drive specific business outcomes. During the interview, Bart emphasizes the importance of having a documented, measurable strategy with clear tools and tactics. He discusses recent trends in digital marketing, including AI-driven search and the growing importance of trust signals. Bart shares some success stories from clients like Ogden Pools and My Town Roofing, highlighting how clear strategies can lead to significant business growth. With Ogden Pools, for example, King Creative Co. was able to help them reposition and transition out of pool construction and flip that revenue into recurring monthly revenue built around weekly pool maintenance. Ogden Pools was able to make the shift ahead of schedule, and over the last 24 months their revenue has doubled. Bart talks about that process and some of the tactics, and then discusses the value of owned audiences and the need for businesses to focus on clarity in their messaging.Visit https://kingcreative.co to learn more about King Creative Co.

Evropsko-americké vztahy pokračují jako na houpačce, nahoru a dolů. Po víkendové Mnichovské bezpečnostní konferenci jsme se ocitli ve fázi „nahoru“, tedy na pozitivní dráze. Americký ministr zahraničí Marco Rubio si dokonce vysloužil ovace vestoje, když shromážděné evropské politiky, generály a diplomaty polaskal milými slovy o tom, že jsme přece všichni z jednoho hnízda, takže není důvod, abychom se neměli rádi.

This week we're discussing Even If: Trusting God Through the Fire Life as a solo parent rarely feels clean or compartmentalized. You can be deeply grateful for your kids and still feel overwhelmed. You can trust God and still feel disappointed. You can be functioning on the outside while quietly unraveling on the inside. In this episode, Robert Beeson, Founder & CEO of Solo Parent, and Elizabeth Cole, single parent, sit down with Bart Millard, lead singer of MercyMe and songwriter behind the multi-platinum hit "I Can Only Imagine," along with Shannon Millard, co-author of Even If: Trusting God Through the Fire. Together, they talk about chronic hardship, depression, loss, and what it looks like to keep showing up when healing does not happen the way you hoped. Many solo parents wrestle with silent comparisons, believing they should not complain because someone else has it worse. Others feel emotionally absent but do not know how they got there. Some carry disappointment with God but feel afraid to say it out loud. These struggles matter because unspoken grief turns into isolation, and isolation quietly drains your strength, your presence, and your hope. In This Episode, We Focus On: Gratitude and grief can coexist -  You do not have to choose between being thankful and being honest about what hurts. Gratitude does not cancel grief. Both can live in the same space, and naming that tension is part of healing. Healing begins when you say it out loud -  Isolation keeps pain powerful. Whether through counseling, community, or one trusted friend, speaking your struggle breaks shame and reminds you that you are not alone. Presence matters more than perfection -  Your children do not need flawless. They need your willingness to return, repair, and keep showing up. Consistent presence builds safety and trust over time. Holding grief and gratitude together is not about pretending everything is fine. It is about staying engaged in your life and your parenting even when it feels messy. You are not weak for struggling, and you do not have to walk this road alone.

In this sharp and practical episode, Bart sits down with Brenton Nickles, founder of JDS1 Marketing, to break down what actually works in modern marketing — and what doesn't. Brent shares his journey from traditional marketing roles to building his own agency, helping businesses clarify their message, strengthen their brand, and execute consistently. He explains why most marketing efforts fail (lack of strategy, impatience, inconsistency), how attention is earned through value, and why long‑term positioning always beats short‑term tactics. This conversation cuts through the noise and offers a grounded, disciplined approach to marketing that leaders and entrepreneurs can immediately apply.Major Takeaways / LearningsMarketing is not a one‑time campaign — it's a system. Sustainable growth requires consistency.Clarity beats creativity. If people don't understand what you do, clever branding won't save you.Most businesses quit too early. Results compound over time — not overnight.Strategy must come before tactics. Posting content without direction wastes energy.Attention is currency. You earn it by solving real problems, not by being loud.Brand is built through repetition. Showing up consistently builds trust.Measure what matters. Data should inform decisions, not overwhelm them.Positioning determines growth. When you clearly define who you serve and how, momentum follows.Memorable Quotes“Marketing isn't magic — it's discipline.”“Clarity always beats clever.”“If you're not consistent, you're invisible.”“Strategy first. Tactics second.”“Attention has to be earned.”“You don't build trust in a week.” Why It Matters / How to Use ItThis episode is a reality check for entrepreneurs, leaders, and marketers who want results without the hype. Brent Nickles reinforces that growth doesn't come from chasing trends — it comes from clarity, discipline, and long‑term commitment. If you're frustrated by inconsistent results or overwhelmed by marketing options, this conversation offers a practical framework: define your strategy, commit to consistency, measure progress, and play the long game. Success in marketing — like success in leadership — is rarely flashy. It's built through disciplined repetition and clear positioning.Connect with Brenton over LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brenton-david-nickles/
