Is your organization prepared for an autonomous AI bot? Roger Grimes joins Jen Stone to discuss the shifting landscape of cybersecurity. This episode moves past the hype to look at the hard data: AI scams are yielding 4.5x more value for attackers, and traditional MFA is no longer enough to stop them.In this episode, we translate complex "vulnerability fatigue" into a clear, two-step priority list. We strip away the jargon to show you exactly how autonomous bots are bypassing firewalls by targeting the human element. Key Takeaways:Focus on the "Big Two": Social engineering and unpatched software account for nearly 90% of business risk.Phishing Resistance: Why you should move toward YubiKeys or passkeys to avoid "man-in-the-middle" code interception.Patch Management: Why you should ignore "shiny" new vulnerabilities and follow the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.The Negotiator's Trap: What happens when a CEO claims they have backups, but the hackers have already deleted them.Featured Resources:CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog: Use this to prioritize patching based on real-world attacker behavior. Phishing-Resistant MFA:YubiKey: A hardware security key requiring physical touch to prevent remote account takeovers. FIDO Passkeys: A cryptographically secure alternative to SMS codes. Password Management: Tools like 1Password or LastPass are essential for creating long, random, and unique credentials that AI can't easily crack. The 3-2-1 Backup Rule: Maintain three copies of data, on two different media types, with one copy kept strictly offline. Connect with Roger GrimesKnowBe4: Access security awareness training and social engineering defense resources at knowbe4.com. Free Book Offer: Roger is offering a free PDF copy of his latest book, How AI and Quantum Impact Cyber Threats and Defenses, to all listeners. Email him directly at rogerg@knowbe4.com. A note from Jen: We built Practical Cybersecurity because we were tired of the fear-mongering in this industry.

In a move that caught the comic world off guard, Marvel and DC have bypassed the traditional "Event Comic" hype machine to drop an exclusive digital crossover: Supergirl/Blade. Written by CRC Payne (Batman: Wayne Family Adventures) and featuring the atmospheric art of Mikel Janín, this one-shot marks a massive shift in how the "Big Two" collaborate. Trapped by the interdimensional media mogul Mojo in a literal "Vampire Romance" reality show, the Girl of Steel and the Daywalker have to navigate a world where the tropes are as deadly as the villains. But beyond the fun of seeing a Kryptonian accidentally incinerate a vampire with heat vision, this episode dives into the deeper implications of this specific pairing.Open show: Join Our Patreon: http://patreon.com/vvclifeGrab Some Gear: http://vvcmerch.comGeneral TalkWeekly Recap Sign Up For PatreonBNP TourBaldur's Gate 3 Session 20 at 8pm!Monday Night Co Op “Operation Tango!!Vote For New GameThursday Morning @9am Anime Watch on our Patreon With Fame & Friday Morning at 9am on TikTok & Twitch as he plays Resident Evil 8 The Precious: JS-1: https://amzn.to/4dILb1wFame:Jaelyn: Sloan: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1848414946/tron-inspired-light-up-jacket-other?ref=share_ios_native_controlCommercial #1Main Topic: Commercial: #2Tin Foil Hat:  Saturn Rings are man made?Games:Approximately UpPaws CovenThick As ThievesNews:  Blade vs. Supergirl: The Crossover We Didn't See ComingIndie Artist PricingA.I. is living in video games?Mortal Kombat Popcorn BucketThe origin of the name “Grok”A.I.

This week on Major Issues, the guys dive into the massive 2026 crossover event Superman / Spider-Man #1. Mark Waid and Jorge Jiménez lead the charge with a story that finally pits the Man of Steel and the Web-Slayer against a Brainiac and Doc Ock alliance. The crew weighs in on whether the chemistry between Clark and Peter lives up to the hype and if Waid's love for comic history makes this a modern classic or just a heavy dose of nostalgia. The episode also breaks down the dense lineup of backup stories and the high-profile teams behind them. They shout out the Lois and MJ spotlight by Tom King and Jim Lee, the chaotic Jimmy Olsen short by Matt Fraction and Steve Lieber, and Christopher Priest's meta-story with Daniel Sampere. With additional contributions from creators like Sean Murphy, Jeff Lemire, Greg Rucka, and Gail Simone, the hosts debate if this oversized special justifies its price tag or if it's just a flashy celebration of the Big Two playing nice again.

TSN's Frankie Corrado on Brady Tkachuk blowing the roof off the CTC, FanDuel, and hockey birthdays.

On this episode of The Comic Source, Jace welcomes returning writer Chris Condon for a conversation that begins with the launch of Brutal Dark for DC's revived Vertigo line, including how the project evolved from earlier iterations into its current form, the pulpy crime-noir and supernatural influences behind Ezra Cain's world, and the collaborative storytelling approach Condon shares with artist Jacob Phillips, plus a reminder to pre-order Brutal Dark #2 ahead of its March 25 release. The discussion then shifts to Image Comics' News From the Fallout now collected in trade, looking back on the book's creative risks, the use of back matter and design elements, the team's celebration event, and future possibilities for additional time-period stories with Jeffrey Allan Love. Condon also talks about his time on Marvel's Ultimate Wolverine, what it has meant to write the character, how the series evolved from its original plan, and teases what's ahead with Ultimate Impact: Reborn arriving May 20, including the process of building new characters and exploring the Ultimate Universe's Negative Zone, before also previewing his upcoming Darth Vader project and how he's approaching the character's "hammer" presence and tone. The interview also covers the newly announced Image series Of The Earth (also out May 20), an eco-horror neo-noir story co-written with Andrew and brought to life by Charlie Adlard with colors by Pip Martin and letters by Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, before closing with reflections on fan response to Condon's Green Arrow finale, a brief update on That Texas Blood, and where listeners can follow more behind-the-scenes work via the Condon/Phillips Patreon and newsletter.Throughout the episode, Condon shares insight into collaboration, tone, creative risk-taking, and the balance between independent and Big Two storytelling.

Tony Barnhart and Dennis Dodd dive deep into the "talking season" chaos, starting with a breakdown of the Playing Rules Oversight Committee's emergency measures to stop transfer portal tampering. With proposed penalties reaching as high as six-game coach suspensions and university fines totaling 20% of a school's football budget, the stakes for recruiting violations have never been higher. The crew also discusses the landmark legal battle involving the University of Cincinnati, which is suing a former player for an NIL contract breach, signaling a new era of institutional accountability in player transfers. The discussion then shifts to the SAFE Act and the intensifying power struggle between private equity interests and the "Big Two" conferences. As experts suggest that college sports are currently massively undervalued, the SEC and Big Ten are pushing back against federal consolidation efforts to protect their own market dominance. From the upcoming Presidential Sports Summit to a look ahead at a potentially record-breaking March Madness, this episode explores the high-stakes politics and money currently defining the future of the game.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is New York Fashion Week losing its pulse? In this episode, we break down why the "Big Two"—Ralph Lauren and Marc Jacobs—ditched the official calendar and why rising stars like Willy Chavarria are fleeing to Paris. We also dive deep into the elephant in the room: the Saks Fifth Avenue Chapter 11 bankruptcy and the $400 million debt shaking the industry. From the $136M owed to Chanel to the rise of "safe" fashion, we discuss why pragmatism is the only way to survive the falling American "empire" cycle.--Support this podcast by leaving a 5 star rating and review!Join us over on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for newsletter accessJoin us over on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join us over on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Insta⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (@itsthoughtfulthreads)Support this small creative platform with a cup of coffee ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Say hi! hithoughtfulthreads@gmail.com

In this episode, we're breaking down a week that has fundamentally shifted the tectonic plates of the gaming industry. First, we tackle the "Dream Team" success of Edmund McMillen's Mewgenics—a 14-year labor of love that proves deep, uncompromising design still wins. We also check in on the "Indie Renaissance" with the undercover alien chaos of Roadside Research and the friendship-ending, $8 orbital-laser mayhem of Super Battle Golf. Then, we shift to the "Big Two" and the strange decisions coming out of the corporate boardrooms. With Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond departing Xbox and Bluepoint Games officially shuttered by Sony, the leadership of console gaming is in a total state of flux. Why is PlayStation pivoting to a stylized Horizon live-service game that fans didn't ask for? Can the "New Guard" at Microsoft find a soul for Xbox? It's a discussion about creative risks, corporate safe-bets, and why the most exciting things in gaming right now aren't coming from the names you expect. Show Notes: 0:46 - Housekeeping 2:51 - 14 Years to Success: Why Mewgenics Matters 42:41 - Super Battle Golf: 8 Players, 0 Rules, Pure Chaos. 1:04:54 - Paper Masks & Profit: Why Indie Sims are Saving Gaming 1:21:04 - PlayStation is Closing Studios. Phil Spencer is Out. Is Console Gaming Dying? 1:58:53 - Upcoming Video Game Releases   Become a part of the conversation!

In this first half of the Word Balloon / ComicPop crossover, I'm joined by Sal Crivelli for a straight-up, no-nonsense conversation about the current state of comic books, specifically the ongoing competition for readers between Marvel and DC.We dig into how both publishers are trying to hold attention in a crowded market, what strategies are actually working, and where each company may be losing ground. From creative directions and line-wide initiatives to accessibility for new readers and long-time fan fatigue, it's an honest look at how the Big Two are fighting for relevance in 2026. It's a smart, fan-focused discussion between two hosts who grew up loving these characters and still care deeply about where the industry goes next.

There's a point in the movie, after a suggestion by Kris Kringle, where the Macy's employees start instructing customers to go across the street to Gimbel's to purchase gifts at a better price.

We move into a new season and the Comic Book Bears are back with this new summer-sized audio episode! Hit play to hear Steve, Caleb and Billy Z talk about a number of new books and graphic novels! From the Big Two we explore the newest iteration of Giant-Size X-Men from Marvel and DC's The Power Company Re-Energized #1. On the independent side of things we dig into The Fairy Godfather by Robert Mailer Anderson and Jon Sack, Muybridge by Guy Delisle, Pure Rubbish by Kayla E. and the first issue of Mad Cave's Vanishing Point by Mark Russell and Juan Doe! (All this plus Caleb gets schooled about New Jersey's Pine Barrens!)    

This week's episode is a wild ride through unexpected musical theories, fast food rivalries, and a heartfelt tribute to a classic TV star. Buckle up for a multi-course serving of nostalgia and surprises. Segment 1: “Raspberry Seger?”Prince's Raspberry Beret turns 40 this summer, but here's the question we can't stop asking: Did Prince write that song in the style of… Bob Seger? Is this a legit theory or a full-on Mandela Effect hallucination? We investigate their shared Midwestern roots, the surprising musical similarities, and the strange-but-true story of why these two icons were supposed to meet—but never did. Also: Wolfman Mike shares a deeply personal (and very gross) tale of eating a mystery burrito in front of Prince—in the dark. Segment 2: “Burger Wars: Chapter 3 — Where's the Beef?”We've covered McDonald's. We've covered Burger King. Now it's time to give the other burger chains their shot. In Chapter 3 of our Burger Wars series, we spotlight Wendy's and the other 70s and 80s fast food joints that dared to challenge the Big Two. Can a square patty and a little old lady shouting “Where's the beef?” change the game? Is this the round where we finally declare a winner? Segment 3: “Goodbye to a 70s/80s Star”A beloved actress from our childhoods has passed away. Known for her beauty—but was that all she brought to the screen? We take a look back at her roles, her impact, and why she meant more than just a pretty face on TV. It's a tribute filled with heart and surprising insights.Please, fill out this short survey:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1eCzmh4jn6onsdfllOI_NencBhVWRRfvhWteLYfSbLxE/edit?usp=drivesdkSend us a voicemail:https://www.speakpipe.com/The70sVsThe80sSend us an email:The70svsthe80s@gmail.com

It had to happen eventually: this week The Studies Show is all about philosophy. As we look at science in general, how do we decide what those studies are actually showing? Tom and Stuart take a look at the Big Two of philosophy of science: Karl Popper and Thomas Kuhn, with their respective theories of falsificationism and paradigm shifts. Both are theories that almost everyone interested in science has heard of—but both make far more extreme claims than you might think.The Studies Show is sponsored by Works in Progress magazine, the best place to go online for fact-rich, data-dense articles on science and technology, and how they've made the world a better place—or how they might do so in the future. To find all their essays, all for free, go to worksinprogress.co.Show notes* Tom's new book, Everything is Predictable: How Bayes' Remarkable Theorem Explains the World* Wagenmakers's 2020 study asking scientists how they think about scientific claims* David Hume's 1748 Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding* Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy article on the problem of induction * Bertrand Russell's 1946 book History of Western Philosophy* Popper's 1959 book The Logic of Scientific Discovery* Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy article on Popper* Kuhn's 1962 book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions* Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy article on Kuhn* 2019 Scott Alexander review of the book* Michael Strevens's 2020 book The Knowledge Machine* Daniel Lakens's Coursera course on “improving your statistical inferences”CreditsThe Studies Show is produced by Julian Mayers at Yada Yada Productions.
