El S&P 500 y el Nasdaq suben el lunes ante la esperanza de que la Reserva Federal pueda bajar pronto los tipos de interés en respuesta a los últimos datos de empleo que arrastraron a Wall Street en la sesión del viernes. Las apuestas a un recorte de 25 puntos básicos se sitúan ahora en el 88%, según la herramienta FedWatch de CME Group, mientras que algunos inversores también confían en un gran recorte de 50 puntos básicos, frente a la nula expectativa que existía antes de la publicación de los datos de empleo. Los valores tecnológicos, con su sectorial subiendo un 0,9%, encabezan las alzas del S&P 500 y el Nasdaq. Broadcom gana más de un 4%. Nvidia saca un 1,5%. Apple, de la que hablamos esta hora, se deja un 0,2%. Analizamos el mercado con Gisela Turazzini, de Blackbird.

Episode SummaryTom Humphrey, Partner at Blackbird and former operator, joins Cheryl and Maxine to reframe the conversation around Australia's AI ecosystem. While headlines paint a picture of Australia falling behind, Tom argues we're quietly sitting on world-class talent, global-first AI companies, and a capital-efficient edge that's being overlooked.They unpack Tom's recent AFR opinion piece on the AI talent landscape, why Australia's university-to-startup pipeline is broken (and slowly improving), and how “boomerang” PhDs are returning from Anthropic, Meta, and DeepMind to build ambitious companies onshore. Plus, Tom breaks down how product-led growth is evolving in the AI era, why enterprise motions are happening sooner, and what the new GTM playbook looks like when AI agents are selling to AI agents.Time Stamps02:21 – Tom's first investment: BHP shares via his parents, now passing on the habit to his son05:19 – Robinhood, meme stocks, and the shift to founder-led brands07:06 – Why Tom wrote the AFR piece: Australia's culture of doubt vs the US lens of opportunity08:08 – Australia's untapped AI talent advantage: 8% of APAC experts, top-tier unis, and PhD immigration12:18 – Six model releases, global leaderboard wins… that no one in Australia talks about14:03 – The dangerous cost of silence: how lack of domestic celebration dampens ambition and capital17:33 – Why Australia is absurdly capital-efficient (and how we squeeze every dollar)19:23 – Commercialisation bottlenecks at Aussie unis, and what's slowly changing25:39 – How this affects investors: AI engineering vs AI research, the boomerang effect, and talent arbitrage30:56 – Time zones, USD revenue, and Australia's secret weapon: the 43% R&D tax credit33:17 – Role gaps and brand new roles: the rise of AI architects and forward deployed engineers34:27 – What PLG really means, and why it's not just a freemium sign-up form39:31 – Spammy AI agents, SEO collapse, and why brand and community are back45:15 – Why enterprise motions are showing up earlier (and how that changes GTM)48:32 – Single-player AI value unlocks a different sales motion: fast, bottom-up adoption51:15 – AI fits into your workflow, not the other way around54:14 – Picking your motion: don't force PLG if it's not a natural fit55:05 – Capital-starved ecosystems and why enterprise is still harder to fund in Aus56:15 – Tom's Big Cojones moment: three boys under six and a startup-founder partnerResources

In this deeply heartfelt episode, Brian speaks with Betsy Thibaud Stephenson, author of Blackbird: A Mother's Reflection on Loss, Grief, and Life After Suicide.Betsy's son Charlie transitioned at age 21, just eleven weeks after expressing thoughts of self-harm. During that same six-week period, her beloved mother-in-law and family dog also transitioned. Rather than turning away from grief, Betsy faced it head-on—and began writing from her open wound instead of waiting for a scar.This conversation explores the real grief journey—messy, sacred, and unfiltered.

C'est une histoire digne d'un scénario de science-fiction… sauf qu'elle est vraie. Le 6 juin 2025, le Wall Street Journal a levé le voile sur un pan méconnu de l'histoire militaire américaine : l'utilisation délibérée du mythe des ovnis par le Pentagone pour dissimuler ses programmes d'armement ultra-secrets.L'un des cas les plus révélateurs remonte à 1967, dans le Montana. Ce soir-là, un capitaine de l'US Air Force affirme avoir vu une lumière étrange survoler un silo de missiles balistiques intercontinentaux. Puis, sans explication, les systèmes électriques et les ogives sont désactivés. À l'époque, l'événement est classé top secret. Officiellement, on parle d'un « phénomène inexpliqué ». Officieusement, il s'agissait d'un test militaire utilisant une impulsion électromagnétique (IEM), destinée à perturber les installations électroniques ennemies. L'effet secondaire ? Une lueur artificielle dans le ciel, facilement assimilable à un « ovni ».Mais l'intox ne s'arrête pas là.Dans les années 1980, alors que les États-Unis testent des technologies furtives encore jamais vues, comme le F-117 Nighthawk, un étrange personnage se rend dans un bar du Nevada. Il y laisse des photos de “soucoupes volantes”, accompagnées d'un discours confus sur les extraterrestres. Intrigués, les services de renseignement identifient l'homme : un colonel à la retraite, agissant sur ordre de ses supérieurs, dans le cadre d'une opération de désinformation. Objectif ? Détourner l'attention des vrais essais menés dans la région, notamment à proximité de la célèbre Zone 51, et semer le doute auprès des éventuels espions soviétiques.Car la Zone 51 est bien réelle, et elle a servi de site de test pour des appareils révolutionnaires, comme le SR-71 Blackbird ou le drone U-2, conçus pour des missions de surveillance en haute altitude pendant la Guerre froide. Les formes inhabituelles de ces engins, leur comportement silencieux et leurs trajectoires non conventionnelles ont alimenté, sans effort, la légende des « objets volants non identifiés ».Selon des experts interrogés par National Geographic, le Pentagone a volontairement entretenu cette confusion. Non pas pour valider l'idée d'extraterrestres, mais pour créer un écran de fumée utile à la sécurité nationale. En brouillant les pistes, les autorités empêchaient non seulement le public d'en apprendre trop… mais aussi les services secrets ennemis.Aujourd'hui, l'AARO, un bureau fondé en 2022 pour enquêter sur les phénomènes aériens non identifiés, reconnaît que certaines de ces “observations” étaient liées à des projets militaires confidentiels. La question extraterrestre reste ouverte, mais une chose est sûre : les ovnis ont été, au moins en partie, un outil stratégique du Pentagone. Hébergé par Acast.

Cette semaine, plongez au cœur de la Zone 51 et découvrez les mystères qu'elle renferme. Alimentant de nombreuses théories du complot sur la possible existence d'extraterrestres, c'est l'une des zones les mieux protégées de la planète. De la mystérieuse affaire Roswell aux récentes révélations, découvrez l'incroyable histoire de la zone 51.  Les théories complotistes, mirage d'un véritable secret  En 1955, la Zone 51 est établie sur ordre de Richard Bissell, un haut fonctionnaire du gouvernement, pour servir de site secret à l'armée de l'air, hors de la vue du public, et même du Congrès. C'est là que sont développés des avions espions comme le U-2, le Blackbird et le Night Hawk, ainsi que des drones et autres technologies militaires classifiées. Cette zone, essentielle pendant la Guerre froide pour espionner l'URSS, était également destinée à dissimuler les activités sensibles de l'armée, ce qui a alimenté les rumeurs sur les OVNIS et les extraterrestres. Ce programme d'espionnage était tellement sensible, que l'armée a certainement vu comme une véritable opportunité les rumeurs autour de l'existence d'OVNIS et d'extraterrestres pour éloigner les curieux. Mais face à la pression publique croissante, l'armée américaine décide dans les années 1990 de réexaminer les documents liés à l'incident de Roswell, survenu 50 ans plus tôt...

The Red-winged Blackbird

This week, we're riding into the dog days of ice-cream summer in conversation with Dana Cree — award-winning pastry chef, molecular enthusiast, and the creative force behind Pretty Cool Ice Cream. Serving up about 11,000 frozen delights weekly, Dana crafts everything from ice-cream bars and sandwiches to vegan pops and tricked-out popsicles, all from her flagship shop. With stints at spots like Alinea, Noma, Blackbird, and The Publican — plus James Beard nominations and a Jean Banchet Award — her deep roots as a pastry chef inform her at every step. Inspired by Jeni Britton's trailblazing spirit, Dana shares what propelled her into the world of ice-cream, what she learned in elite kitchens, the lessons behind the NYT recipe controversy (and the power of three key differentiators), and so much more.

Los principales índices de Wall Street caen el lunes, borrando parte de las ganancias del viernes, cuando el presidente de la Reserva Federal, Jerome Powell, insinuó que podría considerarse un recorte de los tipos de interés en septiembre. Esos comentarios han llevado a las principales casas de bolsa a revisar sus expectativas, y Barclays, BNP Paribas y Deutsche Bank prevén actualmente una reducción de 25 puntos básicos el mes que viene. La atención está también en resultados el miércoles de Nvidia y referencias de inflación a finales de semana. De valoraciones en el mercado hablamos con Marc Ribes, de Blackbird. Nos fijamos en el Ibex, a poquito de tocar máximos históricos. Y prestamos atención al cierre de las empresas de renovables.

David Carroll, president & co-founder of CU Aerospace (UIUC B.S./M.S./Ph.D.), walked away from a top university post in 1998 to build a rocket company in the Illinois cornfields. A laser scientist by training, he didn't stay in theory—he shipped: electric CubeSat engines, plasma systems, high-energy lasers, and even a genetic-algorithm tool that jumped from lab code to a cancer operating room.This conversation is a builder's tour of how space actually gets made—and what's at stake now. We trace the arc from lasers to flight hardware, from test-to-failure scrappiness to NASA-level safety, and from a small Midwestern shop to engines headed for orbit. Along the way: why smallsats matter more than slogans, the case for high-power electric propulsion (magnetoplasmadynamic, or MPD, thrusters), and how China's Moon timeline and SpaceX/Starlink's launch cadence are quietly setting the rules of the game.If you're choosing what to study, where to live, or which problems to bet your twenties on, this is a field guide: build outside the coasts, turn bullets into cannonballs, ship before you polish, and keep going when the first three proposals get rejected. Cornfields to orbit isn't a metaphor. It's a map.This is The UIUC Talkshow, and this is our conversation with David Carroll.EPISODE LINKS:CU Aerospace WebsiteKim Stanley Robinson's AuroraGood to Great by Jim CollinsAbout CU AerospaceFounded in 1998, CU Aerospace (CUA) operates a 10,000-sq-ft mixed office/lab facility in Champaign, Illinois, with cleanrooms, a rapid-prototyping shop, and dedicated propulsion and plasma labs.

How did the indigenous people of Chicagoland understand what was happening in the Colonies in 1776? Did the Declaration of Independence affect them in any way? Of course, the City of Chicago was not founded until 1837, but this episode explores the lives of the inhabitants of the Chicago area and the effect of European colonization on their way of life during the Revolutionary War. Our expert guest, Prof. Theodore Karamanski, walks us through the history of Chicagoland, focussing on the following points: -Chicagoland during the Seven Years' War (French and Indian War) -The differences in French and British methods of imperial control over the Indians -The Consequences of the Treaty of Paris (1763) for native peoples in the Interior -Pontiac's War (Native Confederation vs. Britain) -The Anishinaabe people, who inhabited the Great Lakes region -The Three Fires Confederacy (Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi Tribes) -An explanation of the concept of the Village World, which means every tribal village makes its own independent foreign policy decisions -The consequences of the Proclamation of 1763 for both colonists and natives -The alliance between some Chicagoland tribes and American officer George Rogers Clark, who fought together against the British during the Revolutionary War -The alliance between some tribes and the Spanish Empire, who controlled St. Louis, against the British during the Revolutionary War -The period after the Revolutionary War until the founding of Chicago in 1837 The image is of Chief Pontiac picking up the war hatchet.

Flatley is probably best known for his stage show Lord of the Dance, and his time with Riverdance, but here we talk more about his childhood and his time before world wide fame. A construction worker, a musician, a lover and a fighter, someone should make a film out of his life. Speaking of films, in 2022 he finally released his long awaited screen debut in the self-funded, self-starring, self-written, self-directed action/thriller/drama/love story, Blackbird. We'll be covering Blackbird in this week's Shite Talk Film Club over on Headstuff+, so sign up there if you haven't already to hear us and Ireland's go-to movie critic Brian Lloyd go through an instant classic.

Betsy Thibaut Stephenson's son Charlie died by suicide in 2022. Her memoir helped her grieve, and she hopes it will help dispel the stigma around depression and suicide.

Maria van Lieshout is an artist, illustrator, and author who has created her first graphic novel, "Song of a Blackbird." At the heart of the book is Maria's need, a mission, to educate young people here in the U.S. A recent study revealed 63% of Millennials and Gen Z'ers did not know 6 million Jews were murdered during WWII, with 1 in 10 respondents indicating they did not recall ever hearing the word “Holocaust” before. 2025 is the 80th anniversary of many events that occurred around the end of WWII. www.vanlieshoutstudio.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A conversation involving such dramatic shifts in the brand requires as much nuance as we can gather! Summoned to the realm of the Dukes are none other than Last Stand Media's own Gene Park and Rick Hoeg to help us sift through the fallout of last week's Xbox layoffs. Any single one of these stories could be our lead for the week, but let's get it started with Microsoft's $80 billion investment in their AI infrastructure. Sadly, it has been reported that this is the root cause of the layoffs. Naturally, an investment to the tune of almost $12 billion more than Activision doesn't sneak up on you. The question we're left asking in wake of these claims is how leadership was able to blindside staff within Xbox despite likely knowing about these impending changes for months. Why meet with teams like Zenimax Online Studios and Romero Games, prepare hardware investments, create long term production plans only to axe them by the following weekend? A fired up Rick Hoeg will certainly let us know how he feels on the matter (IYKYK). Speaking of Zenimax Online Studios, we now have details on the canceled Project Blackbird to parse through thanks to multiple insider reports. Blackbird was an online, open world RPG focusing on shooting and traversal mechanics with a planned release window of 2028. With the pedigree of this studio being clear and the risk being low compared to most live service initiatives out there, why shut down something with such great potential? Well, perhaps that's because in a "hits only" business, you need to go with the guarantee. There's no greater guarantee for money than the Fallout IP and, finally, it appears Xbox has come to their senses. Multiple Fallout games are in production! Reason for celebration, no? We'll get to that. Plus, our thoughts on Helldivers 2 coming to Xbox, a Halo project potentially in trouble, and returning once more to the "Great Game Pass Profitability Debate."

Marv and I have three special guests to discuss the business of discussing Beatles songs.    The ajjancy has just released his cover of "Blackbird", which features Fernando ("RAM ON tribute") Perdomo, and Laurence ("needs no introduction") Juber.   Some diversions, some music theory and plenty of chat on reharmonization, simplification and some of the different ways to cover the Beatles and solo Beatles songs.    #madeonzencastr.

St Kevin and the Blackbird (1996)And then there was St Kevin and the blackbird.The saint is kneeling, arms stretched out, insideHis cell, but the cell is narrow, soOne turned-up palm is out the window, stiffAs a crossbeam, when a blackbird landsAnd lays in it and settles down to nest.Kevin feels the warm eggs, the small breast, the tuckedNeat head and claws and, finding himself linkedInto the network of eternal life,Is moved to pity: now he must hold his handLike a branch out in the sun and rain for weeksUntil the young are hatched and fledged and flown.*And since the whole thing's imagined anyhow,Imagine being Kevin. Which is he?Self-forgetful or in agony all the timeFrom the neck on out down through his hurting forearms?Are his fingers sleeping? Does he still feel his knees?Or has the shut-eyed blank of underearthCrept up through him? Is there distance in his head?Alone and mirrored clear in love's deep river,'To labour and not to seek reward,' he prays,A prayer his body makes entirelyFor he has forgotten self, forgotten birdAnd on the riverbank forgotten the river's name. —Seamus Heaney
