Announcing The Classical Society - https://theclassicalsociety.comPart 2 of 3 of Caesar's Civil War series. After his lightning conquest of Italy, Caesar faces his greatest challenge yet as Pompey masses a vast army in Greece. In this episode:Caesar's second dictatorship and revolutionary reforms in Rome—citizenship grants, debt relief, and restoration of the proscribedThe dangerous winter crossing of the Adriatic, splitting his forces against Pompey's naval supremacyThe siege of Dyrrhachium and Caesar's ambitious 17-mile circumvallation to trap PompeyThe catastrophic defeat that nearly ended Caesar's career—his worst loss yetThe brilliant strategic retreat showcasing the iron discipline of Caesar's veteransYoung Curio's tragic death in Africa, highlighting Caesar's reliance on inexperienced lieutenantsThe fateful convergence at Pharsalus as both armies march into ThessalyThe decisive moment when Caesar's hidden fourth line shattered Pompey's cavalry chargeThe fall of the Roman Republic as 15,000 Romans died by Roman swordsCaesar's own account reveals a commander pushed to his absolute limits, saved only by the loyalty of soldiers who would "rather eat tree bark than let Pompey slip through our fingers." The battle that destroyed the old Republic hinged on a single morning's decisions, proving that world history sometimes turns on the choices of one man in command. As Caesar stood over the carnage at Pharsalus, he reportedly said: "This is what they chose. After so many deeds in the service of my country, they would have me, Julius Caesar, condemned as a criminal, unless I sought the protection of an army."Works Cited: Gareth Sampson, The Battle of Pharsalus Matthias Gelzer, Caesar: Politician and Statesman James Froude, Caesar: A Sketch, Raaflaub (ed.)

John Oliver BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.John Oliver remains at the center of sharp-tongued satire and headline-making stunts this week. His most buzzed-about moment came from a high-profile interview circuit following his audacious million-dollar offer to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to resign, a story that's setting media abuzz and likely to linger in the public consciousness for some time, according to a recent appearance detailed on YouTube. In the same interview, Oliver also dived into the meticulous planning behind that offer, giving viewers a glimpse into the mix of sincerity and mischief that defines his approach. Other memorable tidbits from those interviews include being booed at a Sesame Street gala and donning a full pirate costume at a party—a detail that generated laughs on social media and was apparently a point of contention with his wife. He also reminisced about his parents seeing him on Late Night, underscoring the human side of his relentless public persona.Professionally, Oliver continues to co-headline a popular live residency with Seth Meyers at New York's Beacon Theatre, with shows running monthly through the end of 2025—dates on July 27, September 21, October 26, November 23, and December 14 are all confirmed. According to both MSG.com and Ticketmaster, this residency is proving a hot ticket and positions Oliver as a marquee draw in contemporary comedy, keeping him firmly in the live performance spotlight.Meanwhile, on HBO, his flagship show Last Week Tonight with John Oliver keeps on rolling, with its July 7 episode delivering the usual blend of deep dives and headline commentary. Recent episodes, as noted by outlets like IMDb and JustWatch, continue to feature Oliver's signature in-depth analysis and witty critique, tackling everything from politics to global oddities. These episodes regularly stir up discussion on social media, and although specifics on viral moments from this week are unconfirmed, there is routine online buzz following each broadcast.There are no credible reports of major business ventures or new endorsements in the past few days, nor has Oliver been associated with any controversies beyond his usual satirical targets. The only speculative chatter surrounds whether his Clarence Thomas resignation stunt could have broader legal or political repercussions, but as of now, that remains in the realm of pundit speculation.As always, John Oliver's blend of incisive commentary, headline-grabbing antics, and endearing personal quirks keeps him firmly on the radar, with each appearance and broadcast offering fresh fodder for fans and commentators alike.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

"Pharmacists aren't here to save rock and roll. They don't have the budget, or the jackets. But they are *trying*, in a landscape where most bands are too busy refreshing their socials to finish a bridge.Rock music doesn't die - it just downsizes. And Pharmacists are out here propping it up with their own shoulders, one open wound at a time."Those are words of KWR Radion DJ Jim McCaulty, and I thought they might serve as a good jumping off point for my chat today with Will PorteousWill has been on the show before and we sat down to talk all about his band Pharmacists and the route he's taken back into recording and performing, before we moved on to chat about his thoughts on this season's album, Echo.

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber's last few days have been a collision of personal revelations, public speculation, and a determined effort to shape his own narrative. Amid swirling divorce rumors, the pop superstar and his wife Hailey put on a united front, jetting off to Mallorca for a private getaway in one of the island's most exclusive villas. Spanish outlet El Diario de Mallorca details their stay at a $30000-a-week mansion in Port d'Andratx, complete with panoramic sea views, an infinity pool, and enough amenities to make reality melt away. Justin marked the escape with an Instagram post hailing Hailey as “my forever and n always,” silencing the rumor mill, at least for now, despite acute fan scrutiny over whether it is actually Hailey in the recent photos or just another case of the couple outfoxing their critics, as Marca quickly picked up on. Theories aside, Hailey's recent ringless public outings fueled further claims of trouble, even as she reassured Vogue her marriage is strong.These public gestures come on the heels of Bieber's candid Instagram confession last month, where he admitted to battling “anger issues” and feeling “broken,” candidly asking, “Don't you think if I could have fixed myself I would have already?” RadarOnline and Reality Tea report that sources close to him describe a man in “panic mode,” fearing his struggles may be pushing Hailey away. His social media activity is nothing short of frenetic—multiple posts a day, including a batch of “detox” selfies this week that sparked concern among fans, with responses ranging from support to outright worry about his well-being.Despite the chaos, moments of calm peek through. People magazine shared a heartwarming video of Bieber playing outside with his ten-month-old son, Jack Blues, capturing glimpses of a devoted dad enjoying rare normalcy. Both Justin and Hailey have been chronicling family moments online, from poolside playtime to matching lunches with baby Jack, presenting a counter-narrative to all the tabloid noise.On the business front, Bieber's performance machine grinds on. He dropped a major announcement on Instagram about an upcoming show in Brazil, stoking excitement among fans globally. Meanwhile, his massive $200 million catalog sale to Hipgnosis Song Management continues to reverberate in the industry, marking one of the biggest deals for an artist of his generation. And through it all, the world watches as Bieber's every post, outing, and update becomes instant headline fodder, reminding everyone that in the age of social media, the line between reality and speculation is blurrier than ever.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has unmistakably re-entered the global pop culture conversation over the past few days and not just because of his music. After an extended period of relative quiet, Bieber reignited buzz with a series of cryptic Instagram posts, most notably a shirtless studio snap captioned simply “17” and a dramatic username change to @lilbieber, which many interpret as a signal he's ready to tap into a new rap or trap-influenced sound. According to XMAG and Pop Crave, this move marks a clear shift in his artistic direction and has set social media abuzz with speculation about an imminent comeback. Fans are in a frenzy dissecting every post, especially after Bieber teased new music online and was even seen driving while a mysterious new track played—complete with both his signature vocals and a fresh rap verse, as reported by CDAMag. Producer Mk.gee confirmed in a recent interview that he and Bieber have been “writing and recording,” fueling anticipation that a major musical era is on the horizon.But music isn't the only headline Justin is making. In a moment sure to thrill fans, he made a surprise stage appearance with SZA in Los Angeles, joining her to perform their hit “Snooze”—a move widely covered across entertainment and TikTok feeds. On the business side, his journey from teen idol to mogul continues to impress. Fintech Wealth recently detailed his evolution: from blockbuster tours and lucrative endorsements to significant investments in tech startups and the enduring success of his Drew House clothing line, Justin is diversifying far beyond traditional pop star territory.His personal life is unfolding just as publicly. Bieber and wife Hailey, who welcomed son Jack Blues Bieber in August 2024, have both shared tender family moments on social media, including a viral video of Justin playing with their son. Despite persistent tabloid rumors about trouble in paradise and speculation about divorce—a narrative Hailey herself recently dismissed in Vogue and on Instagram—sources insist the couple is still focused on family, even reportedly talking about baby number two. Hailey's recent billion-dollar deal for her Rhode beauty brand and her cover shoot for Vogue underline the couple's combined star power and business savvy.Still, not all reports are positive. Some sources, including RadarOnline, allege Justin's recent “anger issues” and emotional struggles are creating tension at home. He has openly admitted to feeling “broken” and struggling with self-control, which he addressed in a heartfelt Instagram post. Friends and industry insiders say he's determined to “hold it together” as he navigates personal and professional transitions alike.All signs point to a pivotal summer for Bieber: a new musical era potentially launching, a high-profile family life, and a relentless social media spotlight. The world is watching to see how he navigates his second act—a comeback that could redefine both his sound and his celebrity.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

It's an affirmation that after thinking about this problem, there's a conviction to follow an ideal, if not a known direction yet. Whatever the direction we end up taking, it has to be something that we have certainty of authenticity. We're not going to take a chance on something that feels half-dressed or unfinished, or flimsy in its intent. This course has to be real. I think a lot of us spend an awful lot of our lives being pulled and pushed by bad actors, bad advice, bad politics, bad faith, and bad ideas. So we have to wait for that crack in the cultural assault to see that clear path through the maelstrom that shows itself to us. And we have to be ready for it. We have to grasp it with both hands when it comes.Song : https://youtu.be/RjrUxTBPpf8 Randy Woods Band : https://music.youtube.com/channel/UCf-OsPLOU-bgsrrweS8YswQAbsofunkinlutely : https://music.youtube.com/channel/UC5PzVGhMRRPUt7QXSfGl2sQDon't forget to follow me on social media, like, subscribe, and please, leave a rating if you like the show.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thetompettyprojectBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/tompettyproject.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetompettyprojectYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thetompettyprojectThreads: https://www.threads.net/@thetompettyprojectAll music, including the theme song, provided by my very best friend Randy Woods.

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has had a headline-grabbing week underscored by both public appearances and personal developments that are fueling further curiosity about the pop star's next chapter. On June 29, Justin and Hailey Bieber were spotted dancing and looking affectionate in the VIP section at Martin Garrix's Los Angeles show. According to InStyle, the couple's playful moment, with Justin shirtless and Hailey spinning him around, was caught on fan videos and widely shared on social media, serving as a rare display of unity amid ongoing rumors of marital tension. These public displays have only intensified speculation about the state of their relationship, especially as reports from Entertainment Tonight and other outlets suggest a “rough patch” behind the scenes, centering on Justin's supposed lack of motivation and Hailey's frustration with his attitude. Despite the rumors, Hailey was seen wearing her engagement ring during a solo New York weekend, keeping fans guessing about the true nature of their marriage.Instagram has also been buzzing with Justin's recent activity. On June 26, according to People, he posted a carousel featuring his son Jack Blues and simultaneously changed his Instagram username to @lilbieber, departing from his traditional full-name handle. The rebranding has not been officially explained but marks a notable shift in his social media strategy. Alongside the family glimpses, fans have noticed a string of cryptic posts, including reflections on forgiveness and emotional well-being. He's openly shared messages about conflict and mental health, referencing personal struggles and trauma, which have further grabbed the attention of followers and gossip bloggers alike.On the business front, Justin's entrepreneurial reach continues to expand. E! News recently highlighted his presence at night events and his ongoing investment activities while Max Tornow's business coverage and Fintech Wealth's YouTube analysis both spotlighted the massive scale of Bieber's empire. He's moved well beyond music, with ventures like the Drew House fashion line, strategic investments in tech startups like MoonPay and Wave, and reputedly lucrative catalog sales now defining his financial portfolio. Just last week, a Bieber-backed NFT fashion pop-up called InBetweeners debuted in New York, blending digital collectibles and exclusive apparel with a high-profile launch party. These moves are widely seen as a model for artists diversifying and leveraging their personal brand into lasting wealth beyond the charts.Meanwhile, social media reactions to Justin's recent appearances remain mixed, with some fans expressing concern for his emotional state at Rhode events and in public, while others admire his continued resilience and evolving identity as both artist and business mogul. All eyes now remain on the Biebers as fans—and detractors—await the couple's next steps, both personally and professionally.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

The genius of Leonardo da Vinci remains unparalleled and his works of art and scientific knowledge are world renowned. One thing you might not know about him is that he also cultivated a small piece of land – about 8000 m² (a little under two acres) - as a courtyard vineyard. In 1498 the Duke of Milan, Ludovico Il Moro, gave this piece of land to da Vinci in part as a form of payment for The Last Supper painting, but above all it was a way to grant Milan citizenship to da Vinci. In some of his writings Leonardo da Vinci talks about his vineyard. And!... If you haven't yet read Leonardo da Vinci by Walter Isaacson then it's time you get your hands on the book! It's his life story and shares every fascinating detail about the genius: his art and creativity that encompasses every aspect of life. It's a must-read: “A powerful story of an exhilarating mind and life...a study in creativity: how to define it, how to achieve it.” —The New Yorker.

“I grew up with puppetry and voices and weird little characters. I never really let that go — I just found ways to turn it into a life.” - Nate Begle In this episode, we're joined by Nate - He's a voice actor and puppeteer with over two decades of experience in storytelling across stage, screen, and sound. His career has spanned live theme park shows, national commercials, animation, and narration work for over 30 audiobooks. Nate has collaborated with major creative institutions, including James Patterson, The Jim Henson Company, Walt Disney Entertainment, and Sesame Street. Deeply rooted in performance, character work, and voice, Nate brings a grounded and authentic presence to everything he creates. He allows the characters, not the performer, to take center stage.Nate and I nestle in for a tender, playful, and witty conversation about a life built around performance. We talk discovering creative purpose early, navigating years of invisible work, and learning how to keep showing up for the craft even when no one is watching.We talk about his roots in Midwest community theater, how Fraggle Rock cracked open a lifelong fascination with puppetry, and the reality of building a career from bits and odd jobs to full-time creative expression. Along the way, we dive into themes like staying grounded while performing, the therapeutic power of play, self-belief in the face of doubt, and the surprising joy of working just off-camera.From humor and nostalgia to identity and intention, this conversation brings small insights that build into something honest, warm, and very real.More notable quotes from the episode:- “A lot of people think voiceover is just ‘talking,' but it's not. It's acting. It's truth-telling. It's intention.”- “It's like, if you see something that's not available where you're at - then make it.”- “There's a moment where you stop trying to get it perfect and start asking if it feels true. That's when you know you're doing the work.”For more on Nate Begle, head over to his IMDB here: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4662429/Checkout Nates website here: https://www.natebegle.com/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@NateBegleLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nate-begle-785155bb/Hit subscribe, we'll see ya next episode.

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has been dominating headlines and social feeds over the past few days, but not always for reasons his fans might hope. After sparking concern with a string of close-up, cryptic posts on Instagram—including now infamous nipple shots and selfie musings—Bieber shocked fans by changing his Instagram handle from @justinbieber to @lilbieber, his first username switch since joining the platform, and sparking wild speculation about a possible rebrand or even a new musical direction. Star Magazine reports that some fans on X joked about the name hinting at a rap alter ego, while others saw the shift as a cultural reset, but the confusion and worry about his well-being remain front and center. On June 16, Bieber shared an emotional message on Instagram confessing to anger and mental health struggles, saying plainly, “People keep telling me to heal. Don't you think if I could have fixed myself I would have already? I know I'm broken. I know I have anger issues.” This candor, while resonant for some, only heightened concern among fans and those close to him, as insiders tell Star Magazine his inner circle are “deeply concerned about his behavior” and fear his current path is “toxic and totally untenable.”In tandem with the social media drama, Bieber's marriage to Hailey Bieber is under intense scrutiny. Cosmopolitan and The Sun have reported that the couple, who looked picture-perfect in recent outings with their infant son Jack Blues Bieber, are facing serious marital struggles. Hailey was reportedly seen without her wedding ring—though it did return—and insiders cite Justin's irritability and Hailey's frustration with how much of their private drama is being aired publicly. She is said to be “beyond furious” with his social media behavior and even begged him to lay low, but so far he seems determined to do things his way. TMZ featured commentary from Dr. Drew, who cited Bieber's public outbursts as likely fueled by love life turmoil rather than career or fame stress, and highlighted just how much stakes have risen now that the couple are parents.On the business front, Justin has officially cut ties with his Drew House clothing brand and is now heavily teasing a new fashion line called SKYLRK on Instagram, sharing previews of sweatshirts, sunglasses, phone cases, and bold-colored slide sandals. Some fans pointed out that his SKYLRK phone case closely resembles one sold by Hailey's billion-dollar Rhode brand, sparking speculation about creative overlap or competition in the Bieber household. Hailey herself, despite the drama, remains professionally focused, retaining a leadership role at Rhode after its recent sale to e.l.f. Beauty.Most recently, Bieber was spotted dining at Bar Pitti in New York City, drawing interest from paparazzi and fans alike. In short, while the couple is putting on a united public front—posing for pictures with their son and even appearing together at Rhode events—behind the scenes, the tension is unmistakable and observers remain on high alert for what comes next. For now, the world watches as Justin Bieber balances the chaos of personal struggles, family pressures, and a possible reinvention—one eyebrow-raising Instagram post at a time.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has been at the center of both public fascination and media scrutiny over the past several days. Earlier this week, he set social media on fire after changing his longstanding Instagram username from @Justinbieber to @lilbieber, marking the first time he made such a switch since his meteoric rise to stardom. This unexpected rebrand came just as he intensified promotion for his new fashion line, SKYLRK. According to People and AOL, Bieber has been dropping teasers for the brand on his Instagram, sharing sneak peeks of hoodies, sunglasses, and vibrant slide sandals, while the official SKYLRK account remains post-free and the website locked behind a password. The move came on the heels of Bieber's very public split from his former clothing label Drew House. He urged fans to stop supporting Drew House, declaring it no longer represents him or his family, and made clear that Drew is now in his rearview mirror.SKYLRK is also drawing attention for more personal reasons. Some fans and outlets like Page Six noticed the similarities between Bieber's new accessories and certain items from Rhode—the beauty line run by his wife, Hailey Bieber. Hailey herself appears to have had input on SKYLRK's designs, even teasing her involvement on her own social channels earlier in the spring.Professionally, Bieber made headlines for a rare surprise stage appearance during the second stop of SZA and Kendrick Lamar's Grand National Tour at Sofi Stadium. The TBS News reports that his cameo sent fans into a frenzy and reignited conversations about Bieber's possible return to touring. Rumors of a 2025 world tour have been circulating, and TikTok buzz suggests that locations and ticket drop dates could be imminent, though there's no official confirmation from Bieber or his team yet.On the personal front, however, things are turbulent. TMZ detailed a recent public outburst by Bieber that has fueled speculation about trouble in his marriage. Dr. Drew, speaking to TMZ, publicly wondered if the root cause was drama at home, possibly exacerbated by the high-pressure duo-parenting situation now that the couple are parents. Hailey Bieber was seen without her wedding ring, and Justin hinted at the “silent treatment” at home, fueling further breakup rumors. TikTok and fan chatter have been swift, with clips of Bieber's sometimes erratic public behavior going viral in recent days, amplifying worries about his mental state.All of this comes as nostalgia for early Bieber moments spikes, with outlets like TMZ running flashback stories about his childhood dreams and rapid ascent from Canadian busker to global superstar. While some of these stories are lighthearted, the broader tone surrounding Bieber is one of concern about his well-being as he transitions out of one business, dives into another, and faces potential upheaval in his personal life. As of June 28, 2025, his every move—online or offstage—continues to command international attention and speculation about what's next for the pop icon.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

I think this is a perfectly neat, tidy, compact, fun little bouncy piece of music, with a nicely constructed, easy to remember lyric.

Welcome to Episode 1 of our Scatterbrain Podcast Biography Series.Enjoy!(c)2025 Scatterbrain Productions.

On this episode, we were joined by Francesca Wade to discuss her groundbreaking new biography, Gertrude Stein: An Afterlife. This book paints a dual portrait of Gertrude Stein by dividing her story into two parts: her life and her afterlife. Doing this not only brings her partner, Alice B. Toklas, into clearer view, but also separates Stein's work and its lasting impact from her larger-than-life personality. Francesca takes us behind the scenes of her exhaustive research—from exploring the Yale archives, which hold over 75 years of manuscripts, personal letters, and photographs, to visiting the French countryside where Stein and Toklas lived during the German occupation.  We also discuss how Toklas, left behind after Stein's death, devoted herself to preserving Stein's legacy, even as she struggled with legal battles and near-poverty while living surrounded by Picassos she couldn't bring herself to sell.Hosted by Ryan Edgington and Olivia Robinson.
