WarRoom Battleground EP 776: Leftist Activist Attorneys In Brazil Go After Eduardo Bolsonaro
We begin this week in Pennsylvania with a story that involves a woman who starts to believe that something in her new house is coming for her family and trying to take it from her. Then, Dan takes us to Brazil to explore one of the more disturbing legends ever. The legend of Bárbara of the Pleasures. But Bárbara's story, is not so pleasurable. When her looks began to fade, did an aging woman in the early 19th century, once heralded as a legendary beauty, do the unthinkable to regain her youthful attractiveness? Next up, Lynze offers us a story with many complex layers ranging from sleep paralysis to cosmic connections. Rounding out the episode, she gives us a classic haunted house story!

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.Episode #1055: Today we cover Stellantis' new CEO facing a storm of tariffs and dealer tensions, GM's surprising pivot back to big V-8s, and DeLorean's futuristic EV launch… that's more crypto maze than car.Show Notes with links:After a six-month search, Stellantis has named Antonio Filosa as its new CEO. With more than 25 years in the industry and leadership experience across Brazil, North America, and global roles, Filosa is stepping in as the company faces pressure on multiple fronts.Filosa starts as CEO on June 23, replacing Carlos Tavares after his December resignation.Currently COO for the Americas and global chief quality officer, he's credited with restoring confidence internally.Challenges include reversing a 10% Q1 shipment drop, regaining dealer trust, and addressing a potential $7.1B hit from Trump's proposed 25% tariffs.Filosa has reinstalled key leadership—bringing back Ram's Tim Kuniskis and U.S. sales head Jeff Kommor—to stabilize operations.“One of my first decisions has been to bring back talents that we lost in the past,” Filosa told reporters in January.The EV slowdown has prompted General Motors to double down on internal combustion, shelving a $300 million plan for EV motors at its Tonawanda, NY plant and instead committing a massive $888 million to next-gen V-8 engine production.The site will continue producing Gen 5 V-8s while ramping up for Gen 6 engines by 2027.New engines will feature performance-boosting and emission-cutting innovations.Investment includes machinery, tooling, and facility upgrades—the largest ever for a GM engine plant.New York Governor Kathy Hochul said the project will support 870 jobs at Tonawanda Propulsion, including 177 jobs deemed at risk“This investment shows the company's commitment to strengthening American manufacturing,” said CEO Mary Barra.The DeLorean Alpha5 EV promised a high-tech return to the future, but it's now stuck in development limbo, with no production timeline or pricing—and buyers are being asked to reserve with cryptocurrency and NFTs.Reservations require $2,500 in USDC crypto via a specialized Slush Wallet and purchase of an NFT.No refunds are offered—buyers can resell their spot in line to recoup funds.Fewer than 600 reservations have been made, with some resale spots priced up to $40,000.The Alpha5, if it arrives, will offer 300+ miles of range and sub-3-second 0-60 performance.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/
In 2015, rockstar and Canadian icon Gord Downie was given months to live, after doctors found he had a terminal brain tumour. But instead of quietly exiting the stage, Gord and his band, the Tragically Hip, came up with a plan to play 15 shows across 10 of Canada's major cities. Megan Lawton speaks to lead guitarist Rob Baker about the tour and the remarkable final gig that was watched by millions across the country.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

Send us a textWhat happens when everything you've built crumbles overnight? For Leo Popik, founder and CEO of Leading Peers, this wasn't a hypothetical question but a devastating reality that forced him to completely reinvent his life and career.Leo's story begins with an already challenging situation—moving his family from Brazil to the US in 2017 and battling through a grueling immigration process that cost $70,000 in legal fees while putting immense strain on his successful international events company. Just when things seemed to stabilize with his green card approval on December 31, 2019, the pandemic hit, instantly decimating his eight-figure business that operated across ten countries. The emotional toll was crushing. Sleepless nights, vendors demanding payment, employees across the globe depending on him, and a once-thriving business worth millions suddenly worthless. "I realized that a lot of my identity had been tied to the busyness of business," Leo reflects, capturing the existential crisis many entrepreneurs face when their companies falter. Through deep soul-searching conversations with his wife (a leadership coach), Leo identified four core passions that would guide his reinvention: entrepreneurship, leadership, personal development, and community building.This clarity became the blueprint for Leading Peers, an innovative CEO peer advisory organization designed to make high-quality peer groups accessible at $340/month (versus competitors' $10,000+ price tags). Leo built a model where CEOs with at least $250,000 in revenue join boards of 8 peers with expert facilitator-advisors, creating intimate communities focused on mutual growth through monthly meetings, workshops, networking events, and specialized interest groups.Five years later, Leading Peers continues to thrive with its distinctive approach summed up in its mission: "to help CEOs grow so their people and businesses prosper." Leo's journey teaches us that resilience isn't just enduring hardship—it's finding purpose within it and creating something meaningful from the ashes of what once was.Ready to connect with other growth-minded CEOs?

What is the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR)? And what does it have to do with conservative political power in the United States and abroad? Leah Payne and Caleb Maskell join Mark Labberton for a deep dive into the emergence and impact of the New Apostolic Reformation—a loosely affiliated global network blending Pentecostal Christian spirituality, charismatic authority, and political ambition. With their combined pastoral experience and scholarly expertise, Payne and Maskell chart the historical, theological, and sociopolitical roots of this Pentecostal movement—from Azusa Street and Latter Rain revivals to modern dominion theology and global evangelicalism. They distinguish the New Apostolic Reformation from the broader Pentecostal and charismatic traditions, and explore the popular appeal, theological complexity, and political volatility of the New Apostolic Reformation. Episode Highlights “Isn't this just conservative political activism with tongues and prophecy and dominion?” “At no point in time in the history of these United States … have Protestants not been interested in having a great deal of influence over public life.” “You can be super nationalistic in Guatemala, in Brazil, in India, and in the United States. … It is a portable form of nationalism.” “They are not moved by appeals to American democracy or American exceptionalism because they have in their mind the end times and the nation of Israel.” “Charismatics and Pentecostals, unlike other forms of American Protestantism … do not have a theological value for democracy.” Main Themes Pentecostalism's history and global influence Charismatic Christianity versus Pentecostalism Defining and explaining the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) C. Peter Wagner, Lance Hall, and Seven Mountain Mandate Dominion theology, Christian nationalism, and the religious Right Pentecostals and Trump politics Zionism in charismatic theology Vineyard movement, worship music, and intimacy with God Linked Media References About Vineyard USA God Gave Rock and Roll to You: A History of Contemporary Christian Music by Leah Payne The New Apostolic Churches by C. Peter Wagner This Present Darkness by Frank Peretti Atlantic Article: “The Army of God Comes Out of the Shadows” by Stephanie McCrummen Bonhoeffer's America: A Land Without Reformation, by Joel Looper Another Gospel: Christian Nationalism and the Crisis of Evangelical Identity, by Joel Looper Show Notes Leah Payne defines Pentecostalism as “a form of American revivalism” William J. Seymour Marked by interracial desegregated worship and spiritual “fireworks” like tongues and prophecy Mystical experiences of God Desegregation and physically touching one another in acts of miraculous healing The Azusa Street Revival (1906) identified as a global catalyst for Assemblies of God denomination There is no founding theological figure, unlike Luther or Calvin Caleb Maskell emphasizes Pentecostalism's roots in “a founding set of experiences,” not a founding theological figure “Limits to what makes a church” Lack of ecclesiological clarity leaves Pentecostalism open to both renewal and fragmentation Leah highlights Pentecostalism as “a shared experience … a shared series of practices.” “Holy Rollers” and being “slain in the Spirit” “A different way of knowing” “Christians are made through an encounter with Jesus.” The global “charismatic movement” and how it has had cross-denominational Influence “Charismatic” was a mid-twentieth-century term for Spirit-led practices arising within mainline Protestant and Roman Catholic traditions Charismatic means “gifted” or “being given gifts” “‘Charismatic' has typically been a more inclusive word than ‘Pentecostal.'” Emphasis on personal spiritual gifts and intimate worship styles “They are not respecters of institutions.” Figures like Oral Roberts and Amy Semple McPherson were “too big” for denominational constraints “Too-bigness” as driven by both an over-inflated ego and spiritual mysticism Frederick Buechner: “The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet.” Spellbound, by Molly Worthen (see Conversing episode 212) What are the origins and key ideas of the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR)? New Apostolic Reformation: “a form of institutionalized charismatic identity that builds on grassroots consensus.” “NAR” coined by C. Peter Wagner at Fuller Seminary in the 1990s Wagner promoted post-denominationalism and “reality-based” church governance centred on individual charismatic gifts Emerged from a “larger soup” of charismatic ideas—often practiced before being systematized. Closely tied to the “Seven Mountain Mandate”: that Christians should influence key societal sectors—family, religion, education, media, entertainment, business, and government The role of dominion theology and political alignment “The convergence of egos, the convergence of ethos … is a natural thing to see emerging.” “Dominion is really just two or three logical steps from an obsession with cultural relevance.” Payne sees dominionism as a Pentecostal-flavoured version of a broader conservative political strategy. “Charismatics and Pentecostals are everywhere … so we should expect them on the far right.” Many deny the NAR label even as they operate in its mode. ”When Bob Dylan's in your church, suddenly your church is relevant, whether you like it or not.” Defining “Dominionism” “Dominion is really just two or three logical steps from an obsession with cultural relevance. Cultural relevance says church should fit—not prophetically, but should fit all but seamlessly—into modes of culture that people are already in.” What are the “Seven Mountains of Culture”? Family, religion, education, media, entertainment, business, and government—”the world would go better if Christians were in charge of each of those arenas.” “At no point in time in the history of these United States and the history of European settlers in the new world have Protestants not been interested in having a great deal of influence over public life.” Trump, Zionism, and global Pentecostal nationalism Christian nationalism versus religious Right “They are not moved by appeals to American democracy. … They think the nation of Israel is the nation of all nations.” “Isn't this just conservative political activism with tongues and prophecy and dominion?” Anti-institutional and anti-structural How Trump seeks power and ego affirmation Christian theocratic rule? ”It may simply be a part of what it is to be a Christian is to say, at some level, within the spheres that I'm given authority in, I ought to have the right kind of influence, whatever it is.” “ I think what's scary about the moment that we're in right now is in fact the chaos.” A book about Donald Trump—God's Chaos Candidate, by Lance Wall ”The beliefs in divine prophecy are so widespread that they transcend partisanship.” Black Pentecostalism: immune to the charms of Trump and populist conservatives Trump's Zionist overtures strategically captured charismatic loyalty The rise of global Pentecostal nationalism in countries like India, Brazil, and Guatemala parallels US patterns. “They don't actually care long-term about American democracy.” “They are not moved by appeals to American democracy or American exceptionalism because they have in their mind the end times and the nation of Israel.” Prosperity gospel Dominionism and the Roman Catholic “doctrine of discovery” The gospel of Christ as “sorting power” “It is a portable form of nationalism.” Concerns about power, order, and eschatology Mark Labberton reflects on Fuller Seminary's controversial role in NAR's intellectual development. Payne critiques the equation of widespread Pentecostal practices with far-right dominionism. “What's scary … is the chaos. And a number of people associated with NAR have celebrated that.” NAR theology often prioritizes divine chaos over institutional order. Warnings against super-biblical apostolic authority and spiritual authoritarianism. Pentecostalism beyond politics “There's a vivid essentialism—make everything great and all the nations will gather.” Vineyard worship as a counterweight to dominionism—emphasizing intimacy and mystical union with Christ. “That emphasis on Jesus as a friend … is a really beautiful image of God.” Vineyard music helped export a gentle, intimate charismatic spirituality.

About Caleb Maskell Caleb Maskell is the associate national director of theology and education for Vineyard USA. Born in London, he immigrated with his family to New Jersey in 1986, at the age of nine. Caleb has been involved in leadership in the Vineyard movement for twenty-five years. After spending a gap year at the Toronto Airport Vineyard School of Ministry in 1995, he went to the University of Chicago to study theology, philosophy, and literature in the interdisciplinary undergraduate Fundamentals program. While there, he joined the core planting team of the Hyde Park Vineyard Church, where he served as a worship leader, a small group leader, a setter-up of chairs, and whatever else Rand Tucker asked him to do. After college, full of questions that had emerged from the beautiful collision of serious academic study and the practical realities of church planting, Caleb enrolled in the MDiv program at Yale Divinity School. For four years, he immersed himself in the study of theology, church history, and Scripture, while also leading worship and working with middle school and high school youth groups. After graduating in 2004, he worked for three years as the associate director of the Jonathan Edwards Center at Yale University. In 2007, along with his wife Kathy and their friends Matt and Hannah Croasmun, Caleb planted Elm City Vineyard Church in New Haven, Connecticut. That year, he also began a PhD program at Princeton University, focusing on the history of American religion, with an additional emphasis in African American studies. After moving to Manhattan for four years while Kathy went to seminary, the Maskells ended up in suburban Philadelphia, where Caleb completed his PhD while teaching regularly at Princeton Theological Seminary, and serving as the worship pastor at Blue Route Vineyard Church. Since 2010, Caleb has led the Society of Vineyard Scholars, which exists to foster and sustain a community of theological discourse in and for the Vineyard movement. Caleb is passionate about developing leaders and institutions that will help to produce a healthy, courageous, and hospitable future for the church in the twenty-first century. Caleb and Kathy now live with their two kids, Josiah and Emmanuelle, in the heart of Denver, where Kathy pastors East Denver Vineyard Church.

Welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso, presented by our friends at Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse. Second to last European final of the season on tap tomorrow as Real Betis faces Chelsea. Isco, who earned a call-up to the Spanish national team for the UEFA Nations League, is one of the key players to watch along with Antony. The winger on loan from Manchester United has been outstanding with 7 goal contributions in 8 Conference League matches since arriving in January. Manuel Pellegrini is coaching in his first European final in his illustrious career, Betis are playing in their first European final as well. Keep in mind, English clubs have lost their last nine European finals against Spanish opposition going back to Liverpool's 2001 UEFA Cup win over Alavés. Lots of potential injury issues for Betis, we'll get you updates hopefully tomorrow ahead of the match on a special Wednesday Morning Espresso. International break next week as World Cup qualifiers take center stage. Lots of eyes will be on Brazil playing their first matches under Carlo Ancelotti's leadership. He left Neymar out due to injury but did recall Casemiro. UEFA Nations League finals will also take place with Spain facing France in one semifinal and Portugal facing Germany in the other. Will that semifinal performance from Cristiano Ronaldo potentially earn him a move to play for a club in the Club World Cup? It might be possible after his social media posts yesterday, seemingly saying goodbye to Al Nassr after their season ended without major success. He's out of contract at the end of June and there's been whispers of interest from Brazilian clubs and Monterrey in bringing him in for the Club World Cup. It's going to grab all the tabloid headlines for sure. Real Madrid and Xabi Alonso are trying to get Trent Alexander-Arnold in for the Club World Cup, but Liverpool want a substantial sum to let him out of his contract a month early. Reports out of Spanish TV indicate that the asking price could be as high as $5M. Al Hilal are trying desperately to get Simone Inzaghi as their new manager, offering to make him the highest paid manager in the world. He has one more match with Inter this season, the Champions League final on Saturday. He wasn't absolutely committed to continuing with the Italian club afterwards, saying that "certain conditions" needed to be met first. Another subplot to watch ahead of the Club World Cup. In Italy as Napoli continues to celebrate their Serie A title, they might be adding a key piece for next season while saying goodbye to someone else. Kevin de Bruyne is reportedly close to joining Napoli on a free from Manchester City. But he'll have a new manager to work for, as it looks like Antonio Conte is set to leave the club and Max Allegri is the leading name mentioned as his successor. Even in successful times, it's never quiet in Naples. For more news today and conversation, check out the video edition on YouTube or the audio on Spreaker. See y'all tomorrow for another edition of the Morning Espresso. Listen to Atlanta Soccer Tonight this evening on 92.9 The Game & the Audacy app starting at 10pm.

In 1992, European football was at a turning point. The European Cup was going to be replaced with a new format: The Champions League. European football's governing body, Uefa wanted a classical theme to accompany the new competition, in an attempt to try and fix the image of football which was mired by hooliganism at the time.

Dean's back in the studio to talk life and racing. At this stage in his career, he's loving where racing takes him—traveling the world with his family and lining up in places like Brazil, Australia, the UK, and the U.S. This season took an unexpected turn when HRC Honda called on Dean to race the final 5 rounds of Supercross after both Hunter and Jett Lawrence went out with injuries. Dean shares what it was like riding for Factory Honda and even weighs in on how good the bike was—calling it one of the best he's ever ridden. We dive into the big question heading into the outdoor season: who's the top dog—Chase Sexton or Jett Lawrence? Plus, we throw around some silly season predictions, including whether Eli Tomac might end up on KTM.Always a great conversation with Dean.

I flew to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil during the height of Carnival season to chat all things self-care, fitness, and rest with award-winning Actress, Model, and all-around queen Priscila Buiar. Best known for her role as Valentina in the series "Stupid Wife," Priscila is using her platform to empower women to put themselves first: mentally, physically, and emotionally. In 2023, she launched "Selfcare by Pri Buiar" to share her wellness journey and offer a roadmap to finding balance and setting boundaries.Priscila isn't just lighting up screens; she's lighting a fire in women everywhere to rest without guilt, say no without fear, and put themselves first without apology. In 2023, she launched @selfcarebypribuiar to make wellness both accessible and non-negotiable. We took a Muay Thai class together, bonded over our water sign placements, and loudly declared that selfcare is anything but selfish. This episode is your reminder that FOMO has nothing on inner peace.
I'm joined by author Sarah Bilston to explore the strange allure of orchids and the daring—and often destructive—pursuits of the plant hunters who sought them. We delve into the economic and ecological entanglements of botany, the lasting impacts of orchid mania on countries like Brazil, and what we risk losing when we oversimplify the tangled roots of horticultural history.

#NEWWORLDREPORT: BRAZIL IN BEIJING. LATIN AMERICAN RESEARCH PROFESSOR EVAN ELLIS, U.S. ARMY WAR COLLEGE STRATEGIC STUDIES INSTITUTE. @REVANELLIS #NEWWORLDREPORTELLIS 1920 RIO
Story at-a-glance A study from Brazil's State University of Campinas found twice-weekly weight training for six months preserved brain regions vulnerable to Alzheimer's in older adults with mild cognitive impairment In this research, five of the 22 people in the resistance training group improved enough to no longer meet clinical criteria for cognitive impairment Exercise protects the brain through multiple mechanisms. It stimulates growth factors like BDNF, reduces inflammation, improves cerebral blood flow, and regulates stress hormones that contribute to cognitive decline For optimal longevity benefits, research suggests limiting strength training to 40 to 60 minutes weekly; exceeding 130 to 140 minutes may reverse health gains and even shorten your life Mind-body exercises like yoga and tai chi also benefit brain health. They lower cortisol, reduce anxiety, and improve executive function, attention, and processing speed

It is only since Vivian Maier's death in 2009 that the 150,000 photographs she rarely showed to anyone have come to light. Working as a nanny in the suburbs of Chicago in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s, she captured extraordinary street scenes on a Rolleiflex camera. But she did not always develop the photos. With no permanent home of her own, she paid for storage units where her life's work was kept. The archives were auctioned when she died and she is now considered one of the best street photographers of the 20th century. Josephine McDermott presents accounts from the BBC archive from the people who found themselves in Vivian Maier's orbit.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

BUFFALO, NY - May 23, 2025 – A new #research paper was #published in Volume 16 of Oncotarget on May 19, 2025, titled “Immune-mediated adverse events following atezolizumab and bevacizumab in a multinational Latin American cohort of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma." The study, led by first authors Leonardo Gomes da Fonseca from Hospital das Clínicas, Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil, and Federico Piñero from Hospital Universitario Austral, Argentina, investigated how patients with advanced liver cancer in Latin America respond to a widely used immunotherapy combination. The researchers found that although a minority of patients developed immune-related side effects, these events did not significantly impact overall survival. Their findings highlight the importance of early recognition and careful management of such side effects in real-world clinical settings. Liver cancer is a leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide, with limited treatment options for patients diagnosed at an advanced stage. Immunotherapy, particularly the combination of atezolizumab and bevacizumab, has become a standard approach. However, these treatments can sometimes trigger the body's immune system to attack healthy organs, leading to what are called immune-related adverse events, or irAEs. Until now, little data existed on how frequently these events occur in Latin American patients and whether they impact treatment outcomes. The researchers followed 99 patients from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Colombia, most of whom had cirrhosis or underlying liver disease. They received atezolizumab and bevacizumab for a median duration of six months. The researchers reported that only 18% of the patients experienced immune-related side effects, most commonly affecting the liver (hepatitis) and thyroid (thyroiditis). Most of these cases were mild or moderate, and half of them resolved completely within a month. Only eight patients needed treatment with steroids to control the immune response. Importantly, the occurrence of immune-related side effects did not affect how long patients survived after starting treatment. The median survival was the same—18.5 months—for both those who experienced irAEs and those who did not. This result suggests that while irAEs require careful management, they may not reduce the overall benefits of immunotherapy. Another significant finding was that patients with higher levels of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), a protein often elevated in liver cancer, were more likely to experience these side effects. This information could help clinicians identify patients who need closer control during treatment. “Notably, baseline alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) values ≥400 ng/ml were significantly associated with the development of irAEs.” The study also points to key differences between clinical trial results and real-world experiences. While clinical trials report higher rates of side effects, this real-world data showed a lower incidence, possibly due to less intensive monitoring or differences in how side effects are documented in everyday practice. In summary, this study highlights that patients require ongoing vigilance and individualized care when treating liver cancer with immunotherapy. It provides valuable information to healthcare providers in Latin America and other regions with similar patient populations, aiming to improve outcomes while minimizing risks.

Jon Jordan and BlockchainGamer.biz editor Jenny Jordan talk through the week's news including:[0:28] Following Nyan Heroes, Blast Royale and Tatsumeeko, Ember Sword has shut down.[2:15] The background is a lot of web3 game devs raised their funding back in 2021-22.[4:12] $5 million isn't much money to make a good game, either web2 or web3. [5:07] And most teams raising money were inexperienced. They had never made a game before.[6:15] A team of 10 game devs probably costs around $1 million a year.[6:58] Ambitious games like Nyan Heroes and Ember Sword probably required +50 devs.[7:35] Hence $5-10 million of funding doesn't last very long. It's not a rug or a con.[9:30] If your game's retention isn't good enough, you can never scale or monetize it to success.[11:44] It's very hard to get anyone to play a new game because of Fortnite/Roblox.[15:23] As weaker projects shut down, the top blockchain games become clear.[15:54] Examples? EVE Frontier (thanks for the hat!), [16:51] Also Wildcard, Proof of Play, Mythical Games, Faraway, MapleStory N etc.[22:04] Blast Royale is being open-sourced so the community could continue to develop it.[24:00] Voya Games has bucked the trend, raising $5 million for idle gaming ecosystem Craft World.[26:50] CEO Oli Loeffler has been slowly building the game and company for the past 3 years. [28:10] The game combines individual resource management with collaborative events. [30:56] There's always something to do and blockchain adds a longer term retention layer.[31:34] Your resources in the main game are only valuable if you can get them into the collab events.[33:45] Would Craft World be a good match for Ronin?[35:05] Off The Grid will launch a web2 version on Steam in June.[37:38] The first NFT sales from Off The Grid have started - highest price to-date is over $1,000.[39:30] But some Steam users hate blockchain so the game will likely get review bombed.[41:30] Jon went to the Avalanche Summit London and was impressed with its momentum.[42:34] He also spoke to Nexon's Dominic Jang about MapleStory Universe and MapleStory N's launch.[43:00] The MSU marketplace has done $1.6 million-worth of NFT trading volume.[45:23] Main markets to-date for MapleStory N players are LATAM, Brazil, southeast Asia.[46:25] Success for Nexon isn't about the game, it's about the ecosystem, esp. 3rd party apps.[51:05] Ava Labs' CEO Emin Gün Sirer also spoke well about the overall vision for Avalanche.

Em 2022, um homem com documentos brasileiros tentou conseguir um estágio no Tribunal Penal Internacional, em Haia. O serviço de inteligência holandês barrou sua entrada, Victor Muller Ferreira foi extraditado e mandado de volta ao Brasil, onde está preso até hoje. Victor, na verdade, é Sergey Cherkasov. Ele e pelo menos outros oito agentes secretos russos usaram o Brasil para “lavar” suas identidades e, aos olhos do mundo, serem considerados brasileiros. A história de Sergey Cherkasov é acompanhada de perto há mais de três anos pelo jornalista Álvaro Pereira Jr, convidado de Natuza Nery neste episódio. Repórter especial do Fantástico, Álvaro relembra como Victor e outros russos se passavam por brasileiros enquanto atuavam como agentes secretos de Vladimir Putin. Nesta quarta-feira (21), o jornal americano The New York Times expôs como o Brasil se tornou uma “fábrica de espiões” do governo de Moscou. Álvaro conta bastidores de como encontrou os documentos usados pelos espiões de Putin, e como um deles fez até aulas de forró para não levantar suspeitas sobre sua brasilidade. Ele detalha o minucioso trabalhado da Polícia Federal para desmantelar esse “celeiro” de espiões. E conclui como a invasão da Ucrânia pelo exército de Putin impulsionou investigações que encontraram espiões russos mundo afora.

Being a farmer in Brazil has never been cooler - at least, that is the impression you might get from social media. Music videos featuring cowboy hat wearing farmers, driving tractors and boasting about their wealth, have garnered millions of views online. Meanwhile, farmers turned influencers offer a window into rural life, insisting Brazil is not just a country of football and Carnival, but of farming. Critics say social media has become the latest battleground in a long-running effort by Brazil's powerful agribusiness industry to improve the way it is perceived. They say posts and videos like these are “propaganda” meant to distract from the sector's poor environmental track record. But farmers argue their livelihoods are being targeted by “ideologues” and “activists”, who fail to grasp where their food really comes from. And, as Brazil prepares to host COP30, how does this idealised image of agribusiness fit into a world facing climate change?
Martín Chambi is regarded as one of the most important indigenous Peruvian photographers of the 20th century. Famous for his black and white images of local Andean people and the surrounding countryside, Chambi's work challenged preconceptions of Peruvian culture and traditions. In 1924 he was among the first to photograph Machu Picchu – his work helping to shape the way Peru is seen around the world. His photography was declared part of the Cultural Heritage of the Nation by Peru's government in 2019. Jacqueline Paine speaks to his grandson Roberto Chambi.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHA group of kids come running into an arena, excited because they've won a contest to meet the Toronto Maple Leafs. We meet star player Eric McNally, who's kind of a jerk. While he's out practicing, he takes a bad hit and collapses on the ice.Fast forward five years—Eric is now a sports anchor. We're introduced to his partner, Sam, who brings surprising news: he's become the legal guardian of his brother's stepson, Scot. Scot's mother has died, and Sam's brother is missing. Eric is strongly against taking Scot in, but Sam insists it's the right thing to do.Scot arrives, and Eric is baffled by him. Scot doesn't like hockey, only musicals. He sings Christmas songs in October. He's… different.At his new school, Scot struggles to adjust. The kids make fun of him for crying during a sad book, and at one point, he throws himself into a pile of leaves—until Eric comes to literally pick him up.Meanwhile, Eric is hiding the fact that he's gay from his colleagues and is worried that Scot, who tends to overshare, will out him.Concerned that Scot is going to be bullied, Eric tries to help him fit in—starting, of course, by signing him up for hockey. Scot starts hanging out with a neighborhood kid who's pretty mean, and in an effort to fit in, things go sideways. During the first game, Scot attacks his own goalie for tattling on his friend for stealing skates. Eric pulls him from the game, and Scot finally tells him he never wanted to play hockey in the first place.Then, Scot's dad, Billy, suddenly shows up from Brazil, wanting to take Scot back with him. Eric and Sam decide to throw Scot a Christmas-themed going-away party, and Eric lets Scot wear whatever he wants. But they're furious when Billy shows up with a fiancée they didn't know existed.During the party, tensions rise, and they get into a big fight. When Scot sees that Billy brought a woman, he's confused—and hurt. He's upset that Billy didn't even notice how much he's grown. Eric steps in, delivering a heartfelt speech about how he would have noticed. He shows just how much he truly cares for Scot.Scot tells Billy he wants to stay. At first, Billy refuses—but eventually, he agrees.Cut to: Scot, Eric, and Sam enjoying a joyful, heartfelt Christmas together.
