Happy Anal August! Anal sex is one of the most talked-about—and most misunderstood—sexual experiences. Some people absolutely love it, while for others it's a firm no. So what makes the difference? Is it preference, preparation, anatomy, or simply misinformation? In this episode, we're joined by Alex Hall, co-founder and host of The Bottom's Digest, sexual health educator, and body autonomy advocate, to answer the questions people are often too embarrassed to ask. We explore why anal sex feels pleasurable for some people, why it isn't for everyone, and how to approach it in a way that prioritizes comfort, communication, and consent. Alex shares practical advice for anyone who is curious about trying anal for the first time, including how to prepare physically and mentally for a more enjoyable experience. No conversation about anal would be complete without talking about poop. We tackle the realities of digestive health, whether you should eat before anal sex, why diet and fiber can make such a difference, and simple preparation strategies that can help you feel more confident. We also clear up the confusion around douching versus enemas, discussing when they may or may not be necessary and sharing safe, practical tips for anyone who chooses to douche. Finally, Alex answers some of the most common questions listeners have: What should recovery look like afterward? Will your body "go back to normal?" How can you make longer sessions more comfortable? And is anal sex possible with larger partners? Whether you're completely new to anal sex, looking to improve your experiences, or simply curious to learn more, this episode offers evidence-based information, practical guidance, and plenty of myth-busting—all with a judgment-free approach that centers pleasure, safety, and body autonomy. About Alex Hall Alex Hall is the co-founder and host of The Bottom's Digest, a platform dedicated to teaching people how to bottom safely while prioritizing pleasure from the mouth to the bum. He is a sexual health educator, butt and gut recipe developer, body autonomy activist, and proud husband to a fellow Scorpio.

A breaking development out of the Lindsay Clancy triple murder trial this morning: we heard directly from Lindsay Clancy who confirmed to the judge she was agreeing to much of the physical evidence the prosecution would be presenting in the case. It’s a highly unusual move in a murder case, but because Clancy already admits to strangling her three young children, this avoids unnecessary days of testimony proving chain of custody from witnesses who handled the blood samples and other DNA evidence linking Clancy to the killings. Bottom line, it’s not in dispute whether she killed her children, the question is, was she criminally responsible for the murders if she was suffering from postpartum psychosis.

What do you do when life changes overnight? Whether it's the loss of a loved one, a broken relationship, financial hardship, or an unexpected setback, change can leave you feeling overwhelmed and stuck. In this encouraging message from Joshua 1, Pastor Jeff Schreve shares God's roadmap for navigating life's toughest transitions—learning to grieve, let go, and move forward with courage and faith.

In this episode of SLP Coffee Talk, Hallie's back with returning guest Shelby Davis, a school-based SLP at Community High School in Teaneck, NJ, and a doctoral candidate at Monmouth University. Shelby's diving into the 5th-year transition program she's helping build for students on the spectrum and others with complex learning needs — designed to bridge the gap between high school and real independence. From vocational skill-building to community partnerships, Shelby walks through how the program came together, what SLPs can offer beyond the classroom, and how any SLP can bring these strategies into their own practice, transition program or not.Bullet Points to Discuss: Why four years isn't always enough — and what a 5th-year transition program looks like in practice Moving beyond classroom goals to communication students actually need at work, in the community, and at home The skill areas worth targeting: self-advocacy, executive functioning, vocational communication, problem-solving Real-world practice — job shadowing, budgeting trips, even a visit to the post office Why repetition and hands-on practice outside the classroom matters most for autistic and other diverse learners Getting SLPs, OTs, teachers, counselors, and families all working from the same playbook The resources behind the program — Speech Time Fun, a monthly themed curriculum, and the NYT Learning NetworkHere's what we learned: There's almost no existing research on 5th-year transition programs — which is part of why Shelby's building her doctoral work around it Real-world self-advocacy starts small: affirmation flashcards students can lean on when asking for help at a register or counter Admin buy-in came down to a clear proposal — mock curriculum, funding, staff certifications, not just an idea Parents said yes faster than expected — once they saw the goal was independence, not delay Bottom line for older students: treat them like people, not projects — connect to their interests firstLearn more about Shelby Davis: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shelbyadavis/ Learn more about Hallie Sherman and SLP Elevate:  

Hey friend — if you're planning a pool day and want to bring something better than boxed rosé (but still chill and easy), this episode's for you. We're big fans of low-drama, high-fun batched drinks: think margaritas and mojitos as the MVPs. They're simple to scale, super tweakable, and they won't leave you with a sad, flat, sugary mess after a few hours in the sun. Quick PSA: don't bring Long Island iced tea to the heat. Also, please don't do blue motherfuckers. Learned that the hard way — way too much alcohol with way too much artificial sugar and a color that makes you question life choices. If you're making something for a group, pick something that stays pleasant in a pitcher. Real talk on batched cocktails: start simple. Margaritas are the perfect base — tequila, lime, and a touch of agave. Mojitos are great too, just keep the soda separate so it stays fizzy when you serve. For fruit-forward sweetness, use ripe fruit (watermelon, strawberries, peaches) and muddle it in the pitcher for natural flavor instead of dumping in extra sugar. Sugar + sun = rough morning, so let the fruit do the work. Want to get fancy? Try spicy margaritas with jalapeño, or play with citrus like blood orange or a lemon-lime-orange blend. If you want bubbles, batch the base and top each poured drink with Prosecco or soda — don't pre-mix the fizz. Also, remember large-batch ratios sometimes need a little tweaking from your single-drink recipe, so taste and adjust before you serve. Another favorite hack: make a few different lemonades (spicy watermelon lemonade, triple-citrus lemonade, ginger-peach lemonade) and let folks pick their liquor — rum, vodka, tequila, gin — so people can control strength and sweetness. It's great for guests who don't drink much; they still get a delicious refresher without the buzz. Bottom line: keep it fresh, keep it simple, and don't over-sweeten. If you try one of these batched ideas (or invent your own twist), tell us how it went — we love hearing your variations. Hit us up at truecrimesagainstwine@gmail.com or on Instagram. We'll send you some swag if it's cute enough. Cheers and enjoy the pool!

Amanda Kahlow, Founder & CEO of 1mind, joins Sam Jacobs, AJ Bruno, and Asad Zaman to break down how an AI-powered solutions engineer named Nigel took 33% of the talk time in a two and a half hour enterprise meeting and produced a $278,000 deal. Topics include why AI aimed at efficiency gains misses real revenue impact, Amanda's prediction that marketing, sales, and customer success collapse into one function within 12 months, and why AI adoption has to be top-down instead of bottoms-up. Plus, the 15 agents running behind every superhuman, a 98% accuracy bar measured by live evals, whether agents will negotiate with other agents on the buy side, and a bulls versus bears round on Salesforce, sales dinners, and the health of the average go-to-market team. Key Takeaways: - Most go-to-market teams are pointing AI at the wrong layer. Better forecasting, faster research, and cleaner dashboards make the people you already have marginally more productive, which is not where the revenue is. As Amanda Kahlow, Founder & CEO at 1mind, framed it: "My thesis is that buying and selling happens in the conversation." Everything built around the conversation to enable a seller is, in her words, yesterday's workflow. - Trust, not novelty, is what moves an enterprise deal. Amanda flew a red-eye to Austin for a second meeting with a CPO and CMO, brought a superhuman named Nigel on screen, and watched the room turn to the AI for depth even she could not provide. As she told it, "the CPO was like, Amanda, shut up, basically. I wanna talk to Nigel." The meeting scheduled for an hour ran two and a half, and produced "a $278,000 deal from one in-person meeting going through procurement in one week". Her read on why it worked: "People say people buy from people. You buy when you trust." - The human face on an AI agent is a click-through device, not the value. Amanda's verdict after a year of selling them: "The face is a novelty." 1mind drops the face entirely on live calls because the movement distracts. The important part is the conversational AI, where "each superhuman has roughly 15 agents working behind the scenes." One handles small talk, another loads the live demo, another builds the perspective slide a human seller would normally take a week to produce. - Bottom-up AI adoption is where the value leaks out. Amanda's pushback on the idea that people who use AI will simply eat the people who do not: telling every individual to go be more efficient produces slop and no measurable gain, while the real impact, in her words, "is going to come at the top down when we think about restructuring the org".

Bottom

Most investors skip your market sizing slide. Not because the number is too small, but because a $5 billion figure pulled off Statista tells them nothing about how you get your first customer. And when you claim 1% of a huge market, you quietly undercut the entire deck you just spent ten slides building. So what does a market slide that actually sells the business look like?Otto Pohl helps deep tech founders tell better company stories, with a focus on university spinouts. Former journalist, serial entrepreneur, head of communications for startups, and he has taught entrepreneurial communications at USC. In this episode he and Marina take apart the TAM SAM SOM habit and rebuild the market slide from the bottom up.

New College Worcester has been a dedicated school for visually impaired pupils for 160 years, but it has recently joined with an education trust which has enabled them to take in their first cohort of non-visually impaired students. The school's principal Rachel Perks tells In Touch about the reasons behind the change, what impact it might have on pupils and staffing and how this change should secure their financial future.The Commonwealth Games are regarded as one of the few integrated large-scale sporting events, with disabled and non-disabled athletes competing alongside each other. The 2026 games are underway in Glasgow where some visually impaired athletes have already secured medals. With the help of BBC Scotland's sport correspondent Chris McLaughlin, In Touch provides an overview of the action so far. More to follow on next week's programme.Presenter: Peter White Producer: Beth Hemmings Production Coordinator: Helen Surtees Website image description: Peter White sits smiling in the centre of the image and he is wearing a dark green jumper.

Most people think subconscious reprogramming starts with a dramatic breakthrough. Mine started with the colour yellow.When I was 21 I was in the pits. Bottom of my list stage school, being told I was too fat, dating boys who wrecked my mental health, and on antidepressants. Then a coach gave me one strange instruction. Notice the colour yellow. She never told me why. Within days I saw yellow everywhere, and something in me started to shift.I had no clue that one sentence would send me down a rabbit hole of subconscious mind work, NLP and hypnotherapy, or that it would become my career for nearly 8 years. Today, I'm taking you through the 3 moments that made me absolutely obsessed with subconscious reprogramming. Now, let me take you back.Topics covered on Subconscious Reprogramming:The biggest shift in your subconscious reprogramming might come from something as ordinary as a colourHow these NLP techniques completely changed the way I read human behaviourWhy two people can live the exact same moment and walk away with opposite memories of itWhat my clients say to me after a session that I could never sell you on, no matter how good my marketing isConnect with Rebecca Haydon:Apply to work with meCome say hi on Instagram | Facebook | YouTubeThe Subconscious Institute

Our CIO and Chief U.S. Equity Strategist Mike Wilson explains why he thinks the bull market has entered a new phase, with more focus on quality.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Mike Wilson: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Mike Wilson, Morgan Stanley's CIO and Chief U.S. Equity Strategist. Today on the podcast I'll be discussing the transition from early- to mid-cycle and what that means for your portfolio.It's Monday, July 27th at 11:30 am in New York. So, let's get after it.Our broadening call for the market has been about moving beyond the narrow leadership of the mega-cap winners and into more economically sensitive areas. That made sense in the context of our rolling recovery thesis, a period when revenue growth returns to lean cost structures, and operating leverage emerges across many sectors of the economy.But now, I think that early-cycle phase of the rolling recovery is ending, and the market is starting to rotate toward quality. That's not bearish, but it is different and can affect portfolios at the stock level. As the cycle matures, investors stop rewarding low quality beta and start focusing more on free cash flow, balance sheet strength, margins, and earnings stability. The market is not abandoning the recovery. It is becoming more selective about the best way to own it. This setup reminds me of early-to-mid 2021. After the initial post-COVID rebound, leadership shifted away from lower-quality and more speculative areas and toward higher-quality companies. The S&P 500 kept rising, but the leadership changed. I think we're seeing something similar today. The S&P itself is already a quality-heavy benchmark, with high-quality cohorts representing roughly 42 percent of the index versus about 28 percent for low quality. That should help keep the index resilient, even as the market continues to digest this transition. Could we still see near-term volatility? Absolutely. If the war escalates further or the Fed surprises us with a rate hike this week, the market can continue to correct. I continue to think 7000 on the S&P 500 is important support if investors remain uneasy about the Fed transition or the geopolitical backdrop. However, the bigger message is that leadership is changing, not that the bull market is ending.One of the most important drivers of this shift is AI adoption. Earlier in the cycle, margin expansion was about classic operating leverage: sales recovering faster than costs. From here, margin expansion will depend more on companies using AI effectively, running leaner, and turning productivity into revenue growth as well. This is why quality matters. Companies with strong pricing power, strong balance sheets, or the ability to translate AI adoption into real growth are likely to be rewarded disproportionately.Companies where AI is material to the investment thesis and pricing power is neutral to strong are seeing forward net margin expectations improve nearly 400 basis points above the median stock. Our transcript work also shows that roughly 25 percent of S&P 500 companies cited measurable benefits from AI adoption in the second quarter, up from 14 percent a year ago. That's operating leverage with a new engine. This also feeds into the AI leadership rotation. I still think semis are likely to underperform hyperscalers from here, even if both can be under pressure during the next leg of consolidation. Semis are a classic early-cycle group, and they've already seen a peak rate of change in earnings revisions. The hyperscalers, by contrast, have high quality core businesses, exposure to the agentic application layer, and an underappreciated ability to take costs out through AI-driven efficiencies. In terms of the overall S&P 500, the two variables I'm watching most closely are interest rates and oil. The bond market is pricing a meaningful probability of a Fed hike, but my base case remains that the Fed stays on hold. A hike would be a hawkish surprise and a risky maneuver, but I think even that would delay rather than derail a positive finish to 2026 with earnings growth remaining strong. Oil is the other wildcard. A sustained rise in oil is not priced into equities, and just another reason to move one's portfolio up the quality ladder.Bottom line, the broadening is not over, but it is changing shape and leadership. We're moving from early-cycle beta toward mid-cycle quality as the market seeks not only growth, but companies that can convert that growth into durable free cash flow and margin expansion. The recent elevation of quality factors has been evolving for the past month and now it's time to fully embrace it. Thanks for tuning in; I hope you found it informative and useful.

On today's episode, I'm chatting with cinematographer James Kniest about his work on the upcoming Amazon original film, The Devil's Mouth. The setup is classic survival horror: a group of college friends on a Thailand trip end up trapped in submerged caves. There's a dangerous predator in the water with them, and all their ugly personal baggage and past conflicts start bubbling up while they try not to die. What makes or breaks a movie like this usually comes down to how real that claustrophobia feels, so James and I talk about what it actually takes to shoot in dark, wet, cramped spaces without it looking like a soundstage.Before we get to that interview, I want to talk about a fantastic new track from the San Francisco punk band Tess & The Details. They just released a cover of Green Day's "Scattered," which is featured on a new Green Day tribute compilation out from Coffin Curse Records and Punk Rock Radar. Even better, all the proceeds from the compilation go straight to no-kill animal shelters.Rather than just doing a carbon copy of the original Nimrod track, they completely made it their own. Frontwoman Tess Stevens directed the music video as a bit of a love letter to the Bay Area, shooting at places like an old BART station payphone and the legendary San Francisco venue Bottom of the Hill, which is unfortunately closing down at the end of 2026. I'm going to play a quick snippet of the song right now, and then I'll play the full track at the very end of the episode after the interview.Ok lets get into my conversation with James. In addition to The Devil's Mouth, we chat about our shared love of music, the current state of the film industry, and what it was like working with Mike Flanagan. The Devil's Mouth will be available to stream on Amazon Prime on 7/29. I hope you enjoy the show

I'll tell you what we want, what we really, really want. We really want to talk about songs that are, No Diggity, turning 30 years old this year. And so, on this episode of Baconsale, we're looking back to a time when Joel and Kent were merely Freshmen, and Zack was still dependent on his Mother Mother. We'll be bringing up music that made us think we could Change the World and tunes that made us feel Blue. And while it may feel like we're being Ironic with some of our choices, we'll do our best to not Sink to the Bottom of the barrel Too Much with our picks, nor will we Sell Out as we avoid the Macarena.   Don't practice Santeria, just press play.   Where Do You Go to find the songs we discussed on this episode?

You show up to pitches armed with deep expertise and immediate answers, only to wonder why the client chose someone else.Our guest today says that over-indexing on your own 'smartness' is the fastest way to kill a deal. Scott Armstrong is a marketing veteran, global agency founder who scaled his business to over twenty-two million dollars, and the mastermind behind Win The Question.He is also a self-reformed 'expert' who learned how to build trust the hard way. His upcoming book, From Asshole to Ally, is a field manual on how highly qualified professionals accidentally lose trust and exactly how to get it back. Today, we're unpacking how to stop relying on rare 'rainmakers,' how to coach trust as a tactical skill across your entire team, and how to shift from pitching answers to truly winning the question. Please join me for my conversation with Scott Armstrong.Guest Bio: R. "Scott" Armstrong has spent 38 years learning what most ambitious professionals figure out the hard way: it's not about you. Scott is the founder of Win The Question, where he teaches ambitious professionals how to build trust by reducing their natural self-orientation and working to win the question before the answer.Scott's book "From Asshole to Ally: How Ambitious Professionals Lose Trust and How To Get It Back" is the field manual and it will be launch in the fall.

Lyn Alden joins Walker to discuss where Bitcoin may be in the current market cycle, why today's “peak apathy” could represent an accumulation zone, and how the massive flow of capital into AI has affected Bitcoin and crypto markets. Lyn also breaks down Orange Juice, her new permanent-capital company designed to acquire durable, cash-flowing businesses and retain part of their earnings in Bitcoin. They explore why this model differs from pure-play Bitcoin treasury companies and traditional private equity, the coming generational transfer of small businesses, and how AI can make established companies more efficient without simply replacing workers. The conversation also covers the Federal Reserve under Kevin Warsh, inflation and interest rates, AI as a long-term deflationary force, China's open-source AI strategy, the geopolitical AI arms race, and why decentralized and open-source AI could ultimately empower individuals.

There's long been some form of "reality TV" kicking around - in the form of news programs, documentaries and game shows, for example. But in the 1990s and especially the 2000s, there was such an explosion of "unscripted" programming on television coinciding with wholesale changes in society that it was hard to separate the two. It could be argued America in particular has been susceptible to the influence of reality television. The country even elected a reality TV star - Donald Trump of "The Apprentice" - as its president. Beyond politics, reality TV has become a key platform for upcoming music stars with shows such as "The Voice" and "American Idol" and made stars of people just living their lives in front of the camera on shows like "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," "The Real Housewives" and even "Jersey Shore." And it seems we've become more likely to reward brash behavior than ever before, pulling for "villains" on shows like "Survivor" and "Big Brother." As entertainment journalists, Chuck Campbell and Wayne Bledsoe, hosts of the podcast "How We Heard It," have had their brushes with reality shows and reality stars over the years. And in this episode of the podcast they discuss and debate their experiences and observations. Has reality TV made Americans less empathetic? Has it dumbed down the country? Has it helped us in some ways by teaching us lessons about human behavior? Has it diversified our entertainment beyond the generic fare of many scripted shows? Bottom line: Is reality TV simply another form of escapist entertainment, is it a sinister force in our society, or is the truth somewhere in between? What do you think?

  Every once in a while I finish a trip and, after I get home and everything dries out, I realize there were a handful of lessons that weren't obvious while I was riding. So this week, rather than another recap of the Oregon Coast, here are a few takeaways from the trip."       Takeaway #1: Constraints can make for a better tour   Weather forced changes. My tent forced bigger changes. Transit schedules forced even more changes. We stopped trying to preserve the original plan and started asking what the best trip looked like now. The revised trip ended up being more memorable than the one we planned.   Bottom line: Sometimes constraints don't ruin a tour—they become the reason it's interesting.       Takeaway #2: I think my touring philosophy is changing   I've spent years optimizing for mileage. That usually means riding through interesting places instead of experiencing them. Tillamook was the perfect example. I've passed through multiple times and barely stopped. This time I spent the day exploring instead of chasing miles.   Bottom line: I'm increasingly interested in using the bike to get me to experiences, not simply accumulate distance.       Takeaway #3: "Ride your own ride" can happen on the same trip   Brock and I started from exactly the same place. We made completely different decisions. He chose the big riding day. I chose the slower exploration day. Both approaches ended with great stories.   Bottom line: There isn't one correct version of a successful bike tour.       Takeaway #4: Transit isn't cheating   We used buses multiple times. They made the route possible. They allowed us to adapt instead of abandoning the trip. They cost almost nothing.   Bottom line: Bikes and transit complement each other remarkably well.       Takeaway #5: Gear failures change everything   "My tent is not viable." That one sentence completely changed the weekend. Once your shelter becomes unreliable, every decision becomes different. Confidence is part of your gear list.   Bottom line: Reliability beats optimization.       Takeaway #6: Where did all the bike tourists go?   Peak season. Iconic route. Excellent infrastructure. Very few loaded touring bikes.   Possible explanations:   More gravel riders? More bikepacking? Different travel habits? Something else?   Bottom line: I'm seeing enough of a pattern that I don't think it's a coincidence anymore.       Takeaway #7: I'm excited about touring again   Fitness is coming back. Losing weight has made a noticeable difference. I'm thinking differently about how I want trips to look. I was planning the next ride before this one ended.   Bottom line: That's usually a sign you're headed in the right direction.

More on covering the blood of non-domesticated animals and birds, and how it applies to those animals that are prepared for it -- which itself requires some measure of investigation. Bottom line, only trap an animal when you truly need it for meat. Better to eat vegetables or grain, with specific advice per the money one might have to spend on food. Also, Rabbi Eina was teaching at the entrance to the house of the exilarch. Which leads into the timing of covering the blood of the non-domesticated animal. Apparently, Rabbi Eina's brother jumps in, and the parallel to brit milah (circumcision) is introduced, though the holiday may actually "win" depending on the parameters of when it would be done. Likewise, Rosh Hashanah --

Our CIO and Chief U.S. Equity Strategist Mike Wilson explains why market leadership is rotating beyond semiconductors and where investors may find opportunities despite near-term volatility.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript ----- Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Mike Wilson, Morgan Stanley's CIO and Chief U.S. Equity Strategist. Today on the podcast, I will explain why the recent volatility in markets makes sense. It's Wednesday, July 22nd at 2 p.m. in New York. So, let's get after it. The broadening trade is back and it's gaining steam. We established this thesis last week. Importantly, there's a key reason this broadening trade is likely to continue. One of the more crowded areas of the market—semiconductors—has lost its momentum. As I've also noted before, this is not a call that the AI cycle is over. However, stocks do trade on the rate of change in growth, and expectations often reach a place where they can no longer surprise on the upside. Earnings revisions tend to get too stretched, and capital starts looking for the next place where fundamentals are improving but positioning is still light. This is no different than what happened to other leadership groups earlier this year in areas like precious metals and energy stocks. Remember, I first made the call for market broadening in our November outlook. My view is that the economy had moved into a new expansion after the rolling recession ended in April 2025. Markets were starting to catch on before the Iran conflict interrupted that trend. Investors piled back into the AI trade—especially semis—as oil prices jumped and Fed expectations shifted more hawkish. Back in June, I noted that those earnings revisions were likely nearing their peak. Hyperscale stocks starting to lag was the first indication. Since semis ultimately depend on hyperscaler spending, that divergence usually doesn't last. It doesn't mean the buildout is ending. However, the spenders may be moving from blind enthusiasm to a more disciplined phase as a means of addressing the market's concerns about falling cash flows. We've seen this pattern before. Since ChatGPT launched, this ebbing and flowing between the hyperscaler and semiconductor stocks has happened three times. This is the fourth such adjustment, during which the hyperscaler stocks are likely to outperform the semis. Since a few weeks back, hyperscalers have outperformed semiconductors by almost 30 percent. Another consequence is that the major averages may trade lower in the near term. When a crowded, large-cap leadership group is unwinding, the index can look choppy even as the market underneath is improving. That's the key distinction. The index may struggle, but the broadening can still work. Over the next month, don't be surprised if the S&P 500 trades as low as 7000 before it makes a move to 8000 by year-end. Use this weakness to add to equity positions. I continue to like Consumer Discretionary Goods, Transports, and Biotech. Discretionary Goods remains one of the cleaner expressions of the broadening thesis. Wallet share is shifting from services back toward goods, goods pricing is improving, and earnings revisions are strengthening. Transports continue to show improving revisions as volumes stabilize and pricing gets better. Biotech is one of the more attractive lower-rate beneficiaries, especially if policy expectations are too hawkish, as I think they are. On that last point, the Fed backdrop matters. The June FOMC meeting told us forward guidance is going to be limited, and the inflation path is going to drive policy. The softer-than-expected inflation data last week should allow the Fed to stay on hold rather than hiking. It may take the bond market a few more data points to fully re-price this view. Bottom line, the broadening is in gear, but it may not feel comfortable because it's happening while the crowded momentum trade unwinds, a process that is likely unfinished. That's usually how rotations in market leadership work. Like spring, it's often: in like a lion and out like a lamb. Thanks for tuning in. I hope you found it informative and useful. Let us know what you think by leaving us a review. And if you find Thoughts on the Market worthwhile, tell a friend or colleague to try it out!

A culinary controversy in Georgia. Rick Jackson – the Republican nominee for governor – stopped by a black-owned restaurant. And now the owner of Toast on Lenox is facing a boycott. Tamara Young is the owner of Toast on Lenox. She has since deleted a photo she posted when Jackson dropped by for a visit. Former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms poured gasoline on the fire by saying anyone who welcomes her opponent has made a calculated decision and should understand the risks. Bottoms is the Democrat nominee for governor. During the China Virus Pandemic – the policies enacted by Mayor Bottoms led to the closing of more than 100 small businesses. And now she wants to shut down any business that serves a Republican. Mr. Jackson issued a statement saying he’s going to fight for all Georgians – no matter their zip code or party affiliation. I’m predicting Ms. Bottom’s chances of becoming governor are toast.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What does Tisha B'Av ask of us after October 7? Tisha B'Av is the saddest date on the Jewish calendar, but Rachel Goldberg-Polin argues it also offers hope and opportunity. In a conversation shaped by the personal and collective trauma of October 7, she explains why Jewish tradition gathers centuries of loss onto a single day, why it compels us to look inward, and how mourning is meant to become the first step toward repair.

It's the question every parent asks: "How old should my kids be before we take them to Disney World?" This week on Mouse Chat, we tackle it head-on. There's no single magic number — but there ARE ages and stages that make the trip smoother, more magical, and more worth the money. We talk through the real trade-offs at every stage: the baby and toddler years (naps, strollers, and "will they even remember it?"), the sweet spot of the preschool and early-elementary years when the magic hits hardest, the tween and teen years when thrill rides and independence change the whole trip, and the truth about multi-generational trips with a big age range in the group. We share what we've learned from our own family, honest tips on Rider Switch, height requirements, park pacing, best times of year to go with little ones, and how to plan a trip that actually matches your kids' ages instead of fighting against them. Bottom line: the "best age" is really about planning the right trip for the kids you have right now — and that's exactly what we love helping families do. Thanks for listening!
