“Last Week Was a Blur”Today on The Weekly…Splurge Gets a Credit Card
A podcast live recording from The Big Romance about the Chemical Brothers second album, - a 1997 dance record classic with guest Mango. When I think of The Chemical Brothers, I think of Irish summer festivals and big nights out. The pure, kinetic energy of thousands of people losing their minds in a field or a packed arena. Released in April 1997, Dig Your Own Hole was the album that cemented Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons as electronic music's first true rock stars. Coming up to its 30th anniversary, it remains a landmark achievement: a psychedelic, acid-drenched dance record built out of hip-hop breaks, sirens, samplers, and raw punk attitude. With crossover chart hits like ‘Block Rockin' Beats', ‘Electrobank', ‘Setting Sun' and the euphoric closer ‘Private Psychedelic Reel' the album balances dancefloor power with adventurous studio experimentation.

My Gateway into Dance Music For me, this album was the gateway. I bought it on CD while on holiday with my parents in Boston in 1999. Before that, my exposure to electronic music was strictly Scooter, along with hearing 'Life Is Sweet' on those iconic Best Album in the World... Ever! compilation CDs. In his seminal book Energy Flash, critic Simon Reynolds described the Chemical Brothers' signature sound as "Britpop-with-breakbeats." They brought a punk-like assault to techno by emphasizing the same blaring mid-frequencies supplied by distorted rock guitars While the American press tried to brand it as the "electronica" revolution, calling Tom and Ed the "Beavis and Butt-head of techno", the duo pushed back, citing US hip-hop and Chicago house pioneers like Frankie Knuckles, Juan Atkins, and The Bomb Squad as their true north stars. 5 Things You Might Not Know About Dig Your Own Hole 1. Built for the Sunday Social Before they were headlining arenas, Tom and Ed were "The Three Blind Mice" at Manchester University—studying medieval history by day and hitting the Haçienda four nights a week. Their legendary 13-week residency at Heavenly's Sunday Social in London transformed UK club culture, with regulars like Oasis, Blur, Primal Scream, and the Manics coming to watch them blend hip-hop, acid house, and psych-rock. 2. "Setting Sun" Broke BBC Radio 1 Noel Gallagher wrote and recorded his vocal in 20 minutes after hearing the duo spin The Beatles' 'Tomorrow Never Knows' in a sweaty basement set. When the single dropped, BBC Radio 1's Breakfast Show famously pulled it off air halfway through because it was too intense for morning radio—which only helped propel it to UK #1. 3. Recorded in a 10x10 Room at Orinoco Studios Recorded in Elephant & Castle (the same studio complex where Enya's "Orinoco Flow" got its name and Gaye Bykers on Acid recorded Drill Your Own Hole), the album was field-tested in clubs using white-label promos (Electronic Battle Weapons 1 & 2) before the final tracking. 4. A Pencil and Sellotape Created the Phase Effect on "The Private Psychedelic Reel" To get the sweeping phase effect on the 9-minute closer, Tom and Ed sellotaped a pencil across a bank of mixing desk faders to move them simultaneously by hand into a Mu-Tron Bi-Phase processor. 5. Mercury Rev's Unexpected Cameo Jonathan Donahue played clarinet on 'The Private Psychedelic Reel.' He later credited the Chemical Brothers' invitation as the lifeline that kept him making music right before Mercury Rev wrote their breakthrough album, Deserter's Songs.

Send us Fan MailSimon opens with a simple question for Lee: what, exactly, is the attraction of right-wing extremism? Lee comes at it sideways, through Britpop. He admits the off-stage rudeness of Blur and Oasis in the late 90s put him off their music entirely (Tori Amos, at least, seemed nice), and wonders whether the far right runs on a capacity for forgiveness he simply lacks. From there it's Question Time, another Reform MP on the panel, and a view from Sassari on nostalgia as the engine of it all.MentionedIgor x Moreno – choreographic duo whose show was seen the night before recording; described as almost the only choreographers Simon goes to seeAndrew Tate – cited as where a "gateway" figure can eventually leadBritpop – 1990s UK music scene, framed as two factions with a bridge between themBlur – the art-school side of Britpop; rude off-stage behaviour made their music impossible to enjoy at the timeOasis – the working-class side of Britpop; same objection, same resultPulp – the band that bridged the two camps, "the one ring that binds them both"The Lord of the Rings – source of the "one ring" riff on PulpVHS vs Betamax – format-war analogy for the Blur/Oasis rivalryTori Amos – the alternative listening of the time: angry and spiky, but critiquing misogyny; a clip of "Winter" is playedIsrael – example of a topic on which a podcaster's view gets set aside while the rest is still valued"Be curious, not judgmental" – maxim recalled from the show's early days, and from Ted LassoQuestion Time (BBC) – televised political debate show touring the UK; the new season again features a Reform MP on the panelAny Questions? (BBC Radio 4) – the radio show Question Time's format derives fromReform UK – far-right party; discussed in terms of platforming, normalisation and nostalgiaAndy Burnham – referred to as the new Prime Minister; the "Burnham bounce" is credited with Reform's drop in supportWales, Scotland and Northern Ireland – devolution, and what it might mean to be left living in EnglandSassari – city in Sardinia; a vantage point on immigration, visible change and resistance to it in ItalyGet in touch with Lee and Simon at info@midlifing.net. ---The Midlifing logo is adapted from an original image by H.L.I.T: https://www.flickr.com/photos/29311691@N05/8571921679 (CC BY 2.0)

Senior leaders often arrive ambitious and passionate, then quietly slide into what Courtney Joly-Lowdermilk calls "role blur," where the all-hands-on-deck approach erases job boundaries, and burnout sets in. As CEO of REACH Leadership, Courtney helps educational and nonprofit leaders bring clarity back to their roles and organizations.In this episode, she walks Krista through the REACH method: Recognizing the ambiguity, Evening the power differentials, Acknowledging expertise, Collaborating, and Healing, and explains why she treats "values in action" as concrete, observable verbs rather than posters on a wall. They dig into the healing step (owning your part in a rupture and inviting, not forcing, repair), why the physical environment either echoes or contradicts a school's values, and why the real decision makers in student-facing work should include students themselves.A grounding conversation for any leader who senses something is choppier than it needs to be.Connect with Courtney via her website and LinkedIn.

The Wonder Twins are in Smallville!! We're freaking out over 9x8 “Idol” and the wonderfully absurd decision to bring Zan and Jayna into this universe. Somehow, that's only half the reason we absolutely LOVE this episode, because Lois and Clark are getting seriously steamy. Lois starts putting the pieces together about Clark and the Blur, Clark gets dangerously close to exposing his secret, and the whole thing builds to Lois realizing that no matter how she feels about the Blur, she can't stop thinking about Clark. Then she turns around and gives him THAT KISS. We're talking Wonder Twin powers, Clark becoming a true symbol of hope, Lois nearly discovering everything, and one of our favorite Lois and Clark moments yet. Smallville “Idol” is ridiculous, romantic, and exactly our kind of episode.Support the show: https://patreon.com/hopefullyawesomeBecome a Member on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHRvjz_pKP1Th5Y8ZIwFMtQ/joinCheck out our Merch! - https://hopefullyawesome.creator-spring.com/This video is NOT sponsored.

He looks back here at life in lift-off nearly 35 years ago and ahead to his spoken word tour promoting it, stopping off at … … two years busking in France in the mid-'80s … why pictures taken on film are more like paintings than photographs … Blur's unique chemistry - “all four of us had one sister and no brothers” … what he learnt from their label manager Dave Balfe … the writer who discovered Blur and other game-changing moments … how ‘the Fanerati radar' and editor Miranda Sawyer encouraged him to publish the book … Japan's confusing, intoxicating new culture in the early ‘90s … mile-melting on US tour buses in the days before social media and DVD … and why Blur today are in “the dream position”.

Mobeen Chughtai, group head of ESG and corporate communications at Soorty Enterprises, talks with Innovation Forum's Niamh Campbell about how sustainability requirements are increasingly being reframed as non-negotiable compliance. They discuss why standardised brand guidance fails to account for supplier context, and the end-of-life emissions data brands ask suppliers to report but rarely share themselves.

Episode 624 is here, and Brian Beckner and Ed Daly are covering an absolutely unhinged collection of stories from sports, entertainment, celebrity culture, and the internet. The guys open with a look back at the history of The Baller Lifestyle and the show's long-running inside joke behind the name before immediately getting into some truly bizarre territory. IN THIS EPISODE: The World's Smallest Penis Gets a Growth Spurt The man who claims to have the world's smallest penis has an enhancement procedure scheduled, funded in part by a surprisingly successful GoFundMe. Brian and Ed discuss the economics of internet sympathy, cosmetic procedures, and why people will apparently donate thousands of dollars to almost anything. The Silent iTunes Song Hack A brilliant old-school solution to the problem of your car automatically playing the first song in your iTunes library: a song consisting almost entirely of silence. The guys discuss the strange genius of solving technological annoyances with an even stranger technological workaround. ️ RIP: Vincent Pastore The guys remember the actor best known as Big Pussy Bonpensiero from The Sopranos and revisit one of the show's most memorable storylines. RIP: Don Nelson A look at the legendary NBA player and coach, including his championship career, his time with the Warriors and Mavericks, and his disastrous stint coaching the Knicks. RIP: Ben Jones / Cooter from The Dukes of Hazzard Brian and Ed discuss the actor behind one of television's most recognizable Southern characters. RIP: Glen Hansard The guys talk about the acclaimed Irish musician and his connection to The Commitments, along with the dangers of motorcycles. RIP: Tom Chadbon A brief tribute to the actor whose credits included Game of Thrones and Casino Royale. RIP: William Orbit The legendary producer's passing leads into a discussion of his work with Madonna, Blur, and other major artists. RIP: Robbie Albarado The guys remember the two-time Preakness-winning jockey and discuss the brutal physical demands of professional horse racing. Influencers, bizarre deaths & the internet Brian and Ed continue their unofficial investigation into the increasingly strange world of influencers, including a discussion of dangerous stunts and mysterious deaths. SPORTS Former NFL Receiver Arrested at a Bowling Alley Former NFL wide receiver Stedman Bailey is arrested after police allegedly find him engaged in sexual activity at a Florida mall bowling and arcade venue. Brian and Ed attempt to understand the decision-making involved in having sex in a public place surrounded by people who are literally there to bowl. The $800,000 Sports Betting Dispute A bettor claims he won nearly $800,000, only for Caesars to void the tickets over alleged violations of betting rules. Brian and Ed debate the fine print, sportsbooks, and whether casinos should be allowed to find technicalities when they don't want to pay a massive winning ticket. The Shohei Ohtani / Ippei Mizuhara Gambling Saga The conversation turns to gambling addiction, bookies, and the enormous amount of money reportedly lost in the Ohtani gambling scandal. Alleged NFL Player Investment Scam The guys discuss Mohamed Koulibaly, who was accused of running an e-commerce/investment scheme involving former NFL players before being found dead in a New Jersey swimming pool. Zach Hample Is Still Catching Everything The infamous baseball home-run ball hawk is back in the conversation after nearly catching another historic baseball. Brian and Ed discuss Hample's ability to predict where baseballs are going — and whether being a professional home-run ball collector is one of the world's most annoying hobbies. The Mookie Betts Foul Ball That Got Away Brian revisits the time Mookie Betts hit a foul ball directly toward him and he failed to make the catch, despite being perfectly positioned. Former Cal State Bakersfield Coach Gets Prison Time An update on the former Cal State Bakersfield basketball coach who was convicted in connection with a prostitution operation. VOICEMAILS & LISTENER MAIL Lala LSU Calls In The voicemail segment returns with Lala LSU, including a reminder of his signature sign-off and his now-infamous song. Should The Baller Lifestyle Do 75 Hard? Brian considers taking on another round of 75 Hard, potentially involving listeners and an additional daily guitar-practice requirement. The guys discuss discipline, habit formation, goal setting, and whether committing to a structured challenge through Thanksgiving could provide some much-needed motivation. Hash Browns vs. Home Fries A listener wants to settle one of the most important debates in breakfast history. Brian and Ed pick sides — while acknowledging that certain Irish-style breakfast potatoes may deserve consideration. Cocaine Wars: Tim Raines vs. Doc Gooden The Baller Lifestyle's unofficial Cocaine Wars returns. This time the competitors are two MLB legends: Tim "Rock" Raines Dwight "Doc" Gooden The guys discuss the notorious cocaine use of both players, including Raines' infamous habit of carrying cocaine in his uniform pocket and Gooden's struggles with addiction during his spectacular but troubled career. And, of course, the show gets another custom AI-generated Cocaine Wars theme song. The "Rot" Has Set In A listener submits a bizarre take on Mets rookie pitcher Jeffrey Yan celebrating after a strikeout, leading Brian and Ed into a discussion about player celebrations, individuality, ego, and the increasingly dramatic policing of professional athletes' behavior. How Often Do You Check Your Fly? A listener asks the guys how frequently they make sure their zipper is actually zipped. This leads to an unfortunately detailed discussion of zipper-related injuries and Brian's history of unfortunate encounters with his own pants. The Technology Problem Brian and Ed discuss the strange reality of modern technology, convenience, smartphones, and the idea that we're increasingly tethered to the machines in our pockets. The conversation eventually reaches Ted Kaczynski, The Terminator, data centers, and the uncomfortable possibility that some of the concerns about technology were not entirely insane — even if the methods were. PATREON / BONUS CONTENT The regular episode wraps up with a reminder that the show continues exclusively for Patreon subscribers. Brian and Ed then dive into even more bizarre stories, including: ️ The Influencer Who Allegedly Had Relationships With 50–75 Prisoners An internet personality allegedly maintained relationships with dozens of incarcerated men, leaving Brian and Ed with one major unanswered question: How exactly was she getting access to all these inmates? Death's Door A young couple disappears while kayaking near Wisconsin's infamous Death's Door, a dangerous stretch of water with a long history of shipwrecks. The story leads to a discussion about questionable vacation activities, kayaking, and whether any place called Death's Door should ever be on your travel itinerary. Yellowstone, Landman & Billy Bob Thornton Brian and Ed discuss the strange world of modern television, including Yellowstone, Landman, Billy Bob Thornton's unlikely commercial career, and the increasingly surreal nature of celebrity advertising. Robert Carradine / Revenge of the Nerds The guys discuss the tragic death of Robert Carradine and the lawsuit filed by his family against UCLA, while talking about mental illness, institutional responsibility, and the difficult circumstances surrounding his death. ️ Washington, D.C. Relationship Drama The episode closes with a particularly messy Washington political relationship story involving Eric Swalwell, Stephen Miller's former wife, Steve Bannon, and Elon Musk. Brian and Ed examine the strange intersection of politics, celebrity, sex, power, and Washington's seemingly endless relationship drama.

I interviewed Sister Sylvester about Constantinopoliad on Friday, September 12, 2025 at Venice Immersive in Venice, Italy. Here is the story synopsis for Constantinopoliad: "Constantinopoliad is a collective reading and audio work. A response to the archive of the poet Constantine Cavafy, the story is inspired by the blank and torn-out pages in Constantinopoliad, an Epic, the journal the teenage Cavafy began when he and his family fled Alexandria; by lost and missing queer archives through time; and by the ghosts, both erotic and historical, that visit the older Cavafy in his poems." Here are the contextual domains that are explored: The exploration of identity [1] as a person has moved from his home [4], and into a distant land [9] with some feelingsof being exiled [12], but also the implication of homosexuality [5] within the context of having to remain hidden or taboo [12]. It's dipping into the vast archive [9] of Cavafy's expressions of identity [1] and poetry and art [5], and recontextualizing as these universal experiences that are still very much relevant today [9]. Here is the Elemental Center of Gravity: 1st Center of Gravity of Air Element / Mental and Social Presence: collaboratively reading together - narrative distillation of an archive. You listening to the audio narration, but you have to negotiate how to co-read this "book" object together. The form of this "book" also deviates from normal book where it is part pop-up book, but also a flat stage to be explored with the other person. This externalized book becomes a bit of an abstracted theatrical stage for the story as it unfolds, but there are also more explicitly architectural elements to this "book" object as well. The piece also creates an implicit invitation to connect and talk with your audience partner afterwards about the piece2nd Center of Gravity of Water Element / Emotional Presence: AMAZING MUSIC + time-based narration + lighting. There's some amazing synchrony between the music, the timing of the reading, as well as the lighting. It really gives a strong sense of time. The reading of the story almost feels like a narrative podcast of sorts, but is mostly a matter of convenience of recording of the live performance so that it could be toured at immersive festivals without the burden of paying for all of the performers and musicians.3rd Center of Gravity of Earth Element / Environmental and Embodied Presence: Book like object as an architectural artifact, and has a whole spatial journey. The installation also had tables with lighting effects, but also there were projctions that were happening within the space as well. Most of the focus of spatial experience happens within the context of the architectural nature of the "book" object, but the other theatrical elements of the environment definitely help to cultivate an overall mood.4th Center of Gravity of Fire Element / Active Presence: Explore the story through various interactions. There's no narrative agency per se, although one could deviate from directly reading along with the text. There's an implicit contract to stay on course with your actions since you're negotiating the experience with another person. Archetypal Themes and Character Explored: Exploration of the "lost and missing queer archives through time; and by the ghosts, both erotic and historical, that visit the older Cavafy in his poems" Artist Statement: "My favorite response to this work was an audience member who described it as 'making love to a stranger through a book'. The work invites audiences into a sensual and concrete encounter with Cavafy's life and poems: fingers making contact with history; illumination revealing images from between the pages; sounds conjuring the ghosts of 19th century Alexandrian cabarets. With words by sister sylvester, score by Nadah El Shazly, and illustrations by Efrîn Özyetis, Constantinopoliad is a multi-sensory encounter with the past, and with forgotten stories that can haunt us into new imaginings for the present." You can see the projects I covered at Venice Immersive 2025 categorized in this image: Below, you will find links to my 30+ hours of my coverage from Venice Immersive 2025 across 39 episodes. I've categorized the experiences according to these "elemental genres," which is looking at the top two elemental centers of gravity.

I interviewed Craig Quintero & Phoebe Greenberg about Blur on Friday, August 29, 2025 at Venice Immersive in Venice, Italy. Here is the story synopsis for Blur: "Blur presents a new myth for the modern age, where science has changed how we think about life and death. With cloning and advances in resurrection biology, we have obscured the boundaries between the living and the dead — the natural and the artificial. This extended reality theatrical production unfolds as a dreamscape, shifting between real and virtual, taking participants on a journey of reflection on grief and eternality." Here are the contextual domains that are explored: Some fundamental questions around LIFE [1] and DEATH [8]. Blur born out of a "desire to explore the emotional and ethical terrain where science, loss and imagination collide." Philosophical and ethical implications [9] of the science human cloning [9] as explored through the main story of a mother [4] who's child [5] has died [8]. Explores a speculative and imaginal space of scienced-based possibilities [9] with imagery reflecting these moral and ethical dilemmas [9] around these hybrid entities [Combination of [1] Self with [7] ]. Also the implications of taking extinct animals [8] like the Wooley Mammoth or Dire Wolf, and resurrecting them through science [9], and bringing them back to life [1]. Here is the Elemental Center of Gravity: 1st Center of Gravity of Earth Element / Environmental and Embodied Presence: Blend of Immersive VR, CGI, Cinematic 360 video, 180 video, Mixed Reality. With specific architectural modulations, live performance, and integrations of your embodiment. Some Generative AI around your representations of embodied identity. There's also a LOT of invisible spatial choreography that is happening behind the scenes in order to move a number of human bodies through a physical space without colliding into each other, whilst also creating a seamless virtually-mediate spatial journey that is also A LOT MORE VAST than the constraints of the physical space. So it really feels like being taken on an expansive journey through space and time within this piece.2nd Center of Gravity of Air Element / Mental and Social Presence: Constant perversion of expectations and experience of having the "rug pulled out from underneath you." Symbolic Dream Logic, and Theatre of the Absurd. There's a lot of abstract and semiotic associative linking that Quintero describes as a "Rauschenberg-like collage" blending and blurring together lots of various archetypal forms to communicate their message. There's definitely a narrative to be parsed, but you have to sort of piece it together as there's a lot of symbolic communication, as well as expectation-perversion that either creates a deep sense of awe and wonder, or it can also be confusion for some where the overall plausibilty throughline and suspension of disbelief results more in a break in presence from a "I don't get it" experience rather than a deepening of awe from an unbounded possibility space. Overall feels a bit like waking from a dream, and then trying to parse it. There is also a moment of a theatre-for-one encounter, and then later more of a collective experience.3rd Center of Gravity of Fire Element / Active Presence: LIVE PERFORMANCE of theatrical actors. There's some constructed locomotive agency within bounds to replicate wandering. Some more interactive parts near the end. No real agency to change the flow of the narrative4th Center of Gravity of Water Element / Emotional Presence: Cinematic VR, but also a specific cadence and pacing of the narrative. Archetypal Themes and Character Explored: Blur explores "fundamental questions of identity and selfhood, and what makes 'me' me?" The strurctures of our society and science mashed up against the dissolving and dissolution of the boundaries between the science and humanity bringing questions around the archetypal qualities that make us uniquely human. The idealized image of the human form from evolution, then gets dissolved through hybrid combinations, that is also amplified by the actual blending and blurring of communication media from MR to VR to Invidual and Collective Theatrical Performances to Architecture with bit of magic thrown in. It's a seamless use of the forms of immersive and experiential to amplify the overall themes of the piece. What is Imaginal / Virtual / Synthetic / Artificial / Eternal? vs What is Real and Mortal? Life vs Death in the context of Scientific Truths and Technological Advance. "With cloning and advances in resurrection biology, we have obscured the boundaries between the living and the dead — the natural and the artificial." Artist Statement: "Blur was born from a shared desire to explore the emotional and ethical terrain where science, loss and imagination collide.Meeting in Venice, we recognised a deep alignment in poetic storytelling and a fascination with questions raised by cloning, bioengineering and de-extinction. The work examines the human urge to transcend death and the consequences of reshaping life. Combining immersive theatre, motion capture, passthrough, VR and AR, we invite audiences into a sensorial and surreal journey — where AI, myth and grief intersect. Blur is both a cautionary tale and a meditation on fragile humanity: a boundary-pushing experience that challenges perception while grounded in universal emotions." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFXTon0-tQ0 This is a listener-supported podcast through the Voices of VR Patreon.

This post officially kicks off my Venice Immersive 2025 coverage, see links to all 38 episodes and 30+ hours of interviews down below. We're starting off with the interview that I did with Doug Liman (co-founder of 30 Ninjas), Julina Tatlock (co-founder of 30 Ninjas), & Jed Weintrob (co-founder of 30 Ninjas), & Max Spear (Product Lead of Android XR at Google) about Asteroid on Saturday, August 30, 2025 at Venice Immersive in Venice, Italy. Here is the story synopsis for Asteroid: "Asteroid is an immersive film and interactive story extension made for the launch of Google's new Android XR platform. The 180° immersive short film is a high-stakes action thriller about a group of strangers who take an old Russian Soyuz rocket to mine a near-earth, treasure laden asteroid for a chance at unimaginable wealth. After the film, the experience continues and the audience enters the world of Asteroid when they receive an SOS from one of the characters, DK Metcalf, who was left for dead. The viewer becomes a player when they are invited to aid in DK's rescue. Through speaking with an AI-generated version of DK — played by the NFL player as himself — the user determines the truth about what happened on the asteroid and sends his exact location to NASA for rescue." Here are the contextual domains that are explored: Long distance travel [9] where someone is left behind (de facto exile) [12], and there is a rescue mission where you as a character [1] help out the protagonist [7] in the second half, but also a lot of mystery [12] to figure out and investigate [9] Here is the Elemental Center of Gravity: 1st Center of Gravity of Emotional Presence: cinematic Virtual Reality thriller that begins as a film and continues as an immersive story game. Combination of live-action 180-video along with CGI-driven animations also in 180-video2nd Center of Gravity of Earth Element / Environmental and Embodied Presence: Worldbuilding of sci-fi extraction of asteroid, you embody a character in story in the last part, and you break the fourth wall in the onboarding talking to the actor who plays a character via AI3rd Center of Gravity of Air Element / Mental and Social Presence: Conversational-driven AI Story Extension - You talk to the actor DK Metcalf at the beginning and with the character at the end. A bit of puzzling together of the myserious aspects of the story4th Center of Gravity of Fire Element / Active Presence: continues as an immersive story game - Improv convo + slightly nudged and directed exploration Archetypal Themes and Character Explored: Everyone are anti-heroes archetypes - Power and Greed vs Limitations, constraints, boundaries, death. Doug Liman says there aren't many anti-heroes in space movies, Han Solo is an exception. What if all of the characters were Han Solos? What drama would ensue? Artist Statement: "I've always thought of myself as an immersive filmmaker. The goal was to put the audience in the action, not to be sort of passively watching it. Now that the technology has caught up with us, I really can put the audience in the rocket. Asteroid is the story of a ragtag group of astronauts who booked a ride on a used Soyuz spacecraft. An asteroid passes near Earth. It's laden with precious metals and gems. If you can get there, you can become insanely wealthy. It's a modern gold rush."

This week, Dave and Jack from the Escape Collective tech team talk modern cross-country bikes and where the nuance between race and downcountry sits. Plus, Dave shares why he believes remote lockouts are a race-day product. Meanwhile, the geeks discuss why rounded bolts are most often user error and how to avoid them (also check out Dave's Threaded #15 article on the topic). Like every week, members of Escape Collective (on the exclusive member-only feeds) get access to the full episode, including Ask a Wrench.

A vision, a blip, a Blur! The redesigned Santa Cruz Blur is faster and more capable than ever before. Updated to match any World Cup XC race course while also remaining fun enough for your backyard mission. In this episode, we dive into the development of the all-new Blur: the science, approach, and testing, and how Santa Cruz created a bike that's just as comfortable chasing podiums as it is chasing your next personal best. The engineers and designers behind this bike get deep into the weeds, giving you all the technical details you could ask for, and showcase the care and depth of knowledge the Santa Cruz engineering team brings to the table.

Graham and Chris return to 1996 for the first half of their Bilingual exploration - a summer of Britpop swagger, Spice Girls hysteria, Euro '96 euphoria, and their own very different lives in northern Britain. They stand again at Pet Shop Boys' post‑Very crossroads: older, out of step with the charts, paranoid about the rise of Pulp and Blur, yet still pushing forward as Before takes shape in New York - with a little help from Danny Tenaglia and OJ Simpson. Then the album's Latin heart bursts open: the multicultural heat and nudity of the Sound Factory Bar, SheBoom's Glaswegian beer-swigging drummers, the exotic excitement of the Discovery tour, Olodum's samba‑reggae beats and the birth of Se A Vida É. It's a celebration of rhythm, reinvention and the album that saw Pet Shop Boys open the door to a whole new world. Come outside and feel the morning sun!

I want more!". Have you said "I'd like to mirror, filter, and convolute an image in Drupal - all at the same time". If so, you're in luck. Let me introduce you to our module of the week: Module name/project name: Image Effects Brief history How old: Created by Drupal user mondrake of Italy on 17 September 2015. It's also the successor to the ImageCache Actions module, which was created all the way back in 2008. Versions available: It has a 4.0.0 version available with Drupal 10 and 11 support, and a 5.0.0 version for Drupal 11.3 and above. Maintainership Actively maintained Security coverage Test coverage Documentation It has a full README with details about the available image styles and whether they are supported by the GD or ImageMagick PHP libraries. Number of open issues: 35 open issues, 3 of which are bugs against the current branch. (The current branch has only been out a few months, and many of the open issues against prior branches seem to still be relevant.) Usage stats: 35,196 sites report using this module, with most still on the 3.x or 4.x branches. (its predecessor, ImageCache Actions, still has over 25,000 active installs) Module features and usage The module is pulled in just like any other, with composer require and then enable via drush or the UI. Once it's installed there is a very basic settings page, but most folks won't use much on there. The power of Image Effects comes when you go to Config > Media > Image Styles and then edit an Image Style. Once Image Effects is enabled, you'll see over two dozen additional effects in the list. These effects range from simple to complex. Interestingly, many of the effects that were so amazing 15 years ago are now doable with CSS. Still, there are some incredibly powerful filters. Side note: I'd strongly recommend Aubrey Sambor's recent talk from Drupal Camp Asheville, "You Don't Need JS for That", and her prior talk "Color in CSS" to learn a ton of things you didn't know about CSS effects. The basics like Color Shift, Contrast, Mirror, Rotate, and more are there if you'd like to do these natively. More advanced filters like Sharpen, Blur, and Convolute let you make more complex modifications to images. "Convolution" is the process of applying n-dimensional matrixes to images to create effects such as blurring, sharpening, and edge detection. Try it out on https://anna.engineering/Image-Convolution-Playground/src/ Lastly, you can create advanced image styles with ImageMagick arguments, create Text overlays using the power of Drupal tokens, or even develop your own Image Effects guided by the incredibly detailed DEVELOPING.md file included with the module.
A momentous episode of Season 8 for us. On one hand we get a stellar Lois performance but on the other...it's our first bomb in a while. But as always, we have fun with these. In the episode, Lois dons a mask and adopts a vigilante identity as Stiletto in the hopes that she can land an exclusive interview with the Blur. For all its faults, we do get some iconic Clois moments. Michael needs some convincing but he gives us some gold. Join us for a short and sweet good time! ... ❤️ Sign up for therapy and get 10% off at https://betterhelp.com/talkville

Then, acclaimed novelist and political chronicler Ben Fountain joins for the entire hour to discuss his sprawling, scathing new satirical novel, Rasputin Swims the Potomac. Fountain details his decision to render the fictional president's identity as a literal redaction, the fascinating parallels between the manufactured reality of professional wrestling and the modern American electorate, and how the relentless firehose of sensory overload generated by our pocket technology forces a mass collective anxiety onto the human brain.
