What happens when the sacred victim becomes the sovereign nation? We delve into a provocative exploration of Jewish identity and otherness in this week's episode. Drawing inspiration from the Torah portion Balak and a thought-provoking essay by Hussein Aboubakr Mansour, we challenge long-held beliefs about Judaism's role as the quintessential "other" in society. Have we been misinterpreting our own history? Key Takeaways The concept of Jews as universal "others" may be more modern than we realize Embracing particularism might be more authentic to Jewish tradition than universal symbolism Zionism can be seen as a return to Jewish particularity rather than just a political movement Timestamps [00:00] Introduction to the episode and the theme of “The Jew as Other” [01:45] How the term “other” appears in this week's Parsha and Moab's fear [03:50] Biblical context: Egyptians and Haman's perspective on Jews [06:45] Jewish laws and their role in antisemitic narratives [09:30] Rabbinic interpretations and perceived Jewish separateness [12:15] Rabbinic blame of God for antisemitism through Jewish laws [14:30] Evolution from oppression to loving the stranger in Torah [17:00] Introduction of Hussein Aboubakr Mansour's argument [20:15] Breakdown of the Jew as metaphor and object of culture [28:00] Zionism's rejection of “otherness” and affirmation of sovereignty Links & Learnings Sign up for free and get more from our weekly newsletter https://madlik.com/ Safaria Source Sheet: https://www.sefaria.org/sheets/661213 Hussein Aboubakr Mansour‘s Substack article https://open.substack.com/pub/critiqueanddigest/p/the-jew-after-otherness Transcript on episode web page: https://madlik.com/2025/07/09/understanding-anti-semitism-through-history/

In this Mere Mortals book review, I tackle Right Thing, Right Now by Ryan Holiday, the third in his Stoic Virtue series.

This is Matt Reustle. Today we are replaying our Breakdown of Patek Philippe. You never own a Patek Philippe. You merely watch over it for the next generation. I'll say it's the best marketing campaign in history, a campaign appropriate for the world's premier watchmaker and a watchmaker worthy of a Business Breakdown. Our guest today is John Reardon from Collectability. John has worked at Sotheby's, the auction house, and spent a decade at Patek Philippe in the early 2000s. He continues to write for Patek Philippe Magazine while he has launched Collectability, a brand dedicated to vintage and preowned Patek Philippe. We cover what makes Patek such a special brand. There is an almost 200-year history in craftsmanship and countless patents (like that self-winding mechanism that powers all automatic watches today.) What Philippe Stern did in 1989 could be worthy of a 10-episode series, so there is much to learn from this episode. Please enjoy this breakdown of Patek Philippe.

July appears quiet. It isn't.This episode outlines why summer is a high-risk period for reputation management. With newsroom staffing reduced and audience attention low, deeper stories start brewing. Reporters have more time. Leadership is often distracted. That's when reputational cracks start to widen.The timing is rarely accidental. Many of the biggest PR crises in recent years—from Lizzo's lawsuit to Drew Barrymore's strike backlash—began simmering in July and erupted by September.What's covered:How reduced oversight and lower engagement create space for reputational damageThe patterns behind summer stories that spiralCase examples including Diddy, Cuomo, Barrymore, Lizzo, Fallon, Baldoni, and LivelyThe role of social media in sustaining backlashWhy July is a critical window for transparency, not silenceAlso featured: a breakdown of how MuckRack supports proactive monitoring and sentiment tracking.Referenced Stories:Sean Combs trialAndrew Cuomo's primary upsetLizzo legal falloutWriters strike flashpointsCelebrity missteps and media strategyKey takeaway: July is not the time to disappear. For anyone managing a sensitive narrative, this is the moment to speak before being spoken about.Want More Behind the Breakdown?

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a business owner looking for tips to create a stronger business? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, host Tyson Mutrux explores essential strategies for entrepreneurs, focusing on copywriting, productivity, and decision-making.Copywriting can be used as an advertising tool and can reel in business if done right. Using the Copywriting Playbook, Tyson shares some tips on how to use it effectively for a business. First  is to make a specific promise, then add a vehicle or method for that promise, move on to including a timeline and then finish by anchoring it with a number. What this does is show the individual looking at your business what you are going to help them achieve or what they will get out of working with you. It is a quick and catchy tagline that will entice the individual.Tyson also provides some tips on how a business owner can make effective business decisions. One tip is that you only need 51% certainty to make a decision. If you have a bunch of decisions up in the air and you don't know what move to make, if you are more than sure on which direction to go, follow it. Don't take more than 48 hours to make a decision on anything for your business. Another tip is to hire someone based on 3 questions: What specific result will this person own? How do they move the firm forward? Should this role be done in-house or outsourced? If you can answer these questions, you are ready to hire.Take a listen to learn more!2:18 Breakdown of effective copywriting strategies12:38 Tips for faster, more effective business decisions20:07 Harvard Business Review study on productivity34:16 How AI is changing job applicationsTune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here.

This Podcast Is Episode 635, And It's About The #1 Reason Contractors Lose Clients: Poor Invoicing—And How to Fix It As we celebrate Independence Day and the spirit of hard work and craftsmanship that built our country, it's the perfect time to think about strengthening your construction business, so you have the freedom to grow and succeed. When most contractors consider why they lose clients, they often blame price competition, slow projects, or a client's unrealistic expectations. But in my experience as a construction bookkeeper, one of the most common—and preventable—reasons contractors lose business is poor invoicing practices. I know what you might be thinking: “My craftsmanship speaks for itself; invoicing is just paperwork.” But the truth is that invoices are often the last impression you leave on a client. That impression determines whether you get paid promptly, earn a good review, or ever hear from them again. Here's why poor invoicing costs you clients, how it damages your reputation, and exactly what you can do to fix it starting today. The Hidden Charges of Poor Invoicing Let's unpack what “poor invoicing” looks like in the real world: Surprise Charges – Adding unexpected line items without explanation leads clients to feel blindsided. Even small uncommunicated costs, like a few extra hours of labor or a disposal fee, can make clients doubt your honesty. Late or Sporadic Invoices – Sending invoices weeks (or worse, months) after work is completed sends the message that you're disorganized. It also forces clients to scramble their budgets, and they may start ignoring your emails altogether. Disorganized or Confusing Layouts – Handwritten invoices, crumpled paper, or Word documents with inconsistent formatting look unprofessional. They make it difficult for clients to understand what they owe and why, opening the door to disputes. Lack of Payment Terms – If your invoice doesn't clearly state when payment is due, clients may assume there's no urgency. This leads to late payments, awkward reminders, and unnecessary tension. No Proof of Work Completed – Many clients want to see proof that matches what they agreed to pay for, such as photos of progress, signed change orders, or milestones met. Without these, they might question the final bill. Errors and Omissions – Mistakes in calculations, missing line items, or billing for the wrong amount can destroy trust in an instant. These issues might seem small when you're juggling multiple jobs. Still, they add up quickly and can easily cost you a client's future business or a valuable referral. Why Invoicing is a Marketing Tool, NOT Just a Bill Invoices are more than payment requests—they're a key part of your client experience. Every interaction you have with a client, from the first estimate to the final invoice, contributes to your reputation. Consider this: clients rarely see the hours you put in behind the scenes or the challenges you overcome to finish their project. They do see your invoices, emails, and paperwork. If your administrative side feels sloppy, clients may assume your craftsmanship is, too, even if your work is top-notch. On the other hand, precise, prompt, professional invoices can: Build trust and reinforce your professionalism Encourage faster payments, boosting cash flow Make clients more likely to refer you Lead to glowing online reviews Differentiate yourself from less organized competitors When you treat invoicing as a core part of your marketing—rather than an afterthought—you send a powerful message: you respect your client's time, budget, and peace of mind. How to Fix Poor Invoicing Practices Here are six practical steps you can take immediately to transform your invoicing process—and your client relationships: 1. Use Construction-Specific Invoicing Tools Skip generic templates or handwritten invoices. Invest in software designed for contractors, such as QuickBooks for Contractors or Buildertrend. These tools let you: Create detailed, professional invoices Break down labor, materials, and other costs Track payments and overdue invoices Sync estimates with final invoices for seamless transitions They're designed to handle the complexities of construction work, including progress billing and change orders. Excel works well, too, and we have free downloadable templates here. 2. Invoice Promptly and Consistently Send invoices immediately upon completing milestones or projects. Make it a routine part of your workflow—ideally within 24 hours of finishing a phase of work. Regular, timely invoicing demonstrates to clients that you're organized and serious about your business. Pro tip: Automate invoice scheduling if your software supports it. You can set up progress invoices that are sent automatically at agreed-upon milestones. 3. Break Down the Work Clearly Your invoices should include line items that detail labor hours, materials, subcontractors, and any additional charges. Provide quantities, unit prices, and short descriptions. A transparent invoice gives clients confidence that they're paying for precisely what they approved. For example, instead of: Labor: $5,000 Break it down as: Framing labor (40 hours @ $50/hour): $2,000 Drywall installation labor (30 hours @ $50/hour): $1,500 Finish carpentry labor (30 hours @ $50/hour): $1,500 This clarity prevents misunderstandings and reduces disputes. 4. Include Payment Terms Always include clear payment terms on your invoice, such as: Payment Due: Net 15 (15 days after invoice date) Late Fee: 1.5% per month on overdue balances Ensure that your client has agreed to these terms upfront (in your contract or proposal). Stating them clearly on the invoice eliminates confusion and provides you with a legal basis if payments are delayed. 5. Add Professional Branding Your invoice should include your company logo, consistent fonts, and professional formatting. This isn't just about looking fancy—it reminds clients they're working with a legitimate, established business. Include your contact information, contractor license number, and website to make it easy for clients to reach you with questions or share your info with referrals. 6. Follow Up Politely but Firmly Don't let overdue invoices linger for weeks without action. Set reminders to follow up a few days before the due date and again shortly after if payment has not been received. Your follow-up doesn't have to be aggressive—keep it friendly but firm. For example: Subject: Friendly Reminder: Invoice #2024-015 Due Tomorrow Hi [Client Name], Just a quick reminder that Invoice #2024-015 for your [Project Name] is due tomorrow. Please let me know if you have any questions! Thanks so much, [Your Name] Automated reminders in invoicing software can save you time and ensure consistency in your billing process. The Bottom Line: Better Invoicing Builds Your Reputation Ultimately, precise, prompt, and professional invoicing is one of the simplest and most effective ways to market your construction business. Clients who trust your paperwork are far more likely to trust your work and recommend you to others. Plus, you'll benefit from: Improved cash flow Fewer disputes Better client relationships A stronger reputation for professionalism Next Steps: Let's Fix It Together Suppose you're ready to stop losing clients to poor invoicing and start winning more referrals. In that case, it can help you set up a professional, efficient invoicing system tailored to your construction business.

WHAT A REINVENTION!! Wrong Turn Full Reaction Watch Along:   / thereelrejects   Visit https://huel.com/rejects to get 15% off your order Now that they've seen the first 6, Roxy Striar & Tara Erickson venture deeper into the Appalachian wilderness for their Wrong Turn 2021 Reaction, Breakdown, and Spoiler-Filled Review — the seventh installment in the long-running franchise, directed by Mike P. Nelson (The Domestics) and written by original series creator Alan B. McElroy (Halloween 4, Spawn). Ditching the inbred cannibals of earlier entries, this reinvention introduces a new threat: a secretive, self-sufficient cult called The Foundation. Charlotte Vega (The Lodgers, Warrior Nun) stars as Jen Shaw, a young woman who sets off on a hiking trip through the Appalachian Trail with her boyfriend Darius (Adain Bradley – The 100, All American) and their close-knit group of friends. What starts as an adventurous detour quickly spirals into a brutal fight for survival when the group encounters a deadly community living off the grid and abiding by ancient, merciless laws. Bill Sage (We Are What We Are, American Psycho) gives a chilling performance as John Venable, the cold-blooded leader of The Foundation. Also featured are Matthew Modine (Stranger Things, Full Metal Jacket) as Jen's father Scott Shaw, who launches a desperate search for his daughter, and Daisy Head (Shadow and Bone, Underworld: Blood Wars) as Edith, a high-ranking cult member. With harrowing traps, underground trials, and twisted moral dilemmas, the film reimagines the Wrong Turn formula with fresh brutality and thought-provoking questions about civilization versus survivalism. Iconic and highly searched scenes include the spiked log ambush, the courtroom execution sequence, and the shocking ending that takes place during the end credits. Join Roxy & Tara as they dig into the blood-soaked reinvention, dissect the film's major deviations from franchise tradition, and debate its place among modern horror reboots.

For this month's (not that we're on any kind of schedule anymore, hehe) Four-Color Flashback, Paul, Arlo, and Eric are scurrying over to the first three volumes of David Petersen's Mouse Guard. Published from 2006-13 by BOOM! Studios, Petersen's medieval epic takes place in a world devoid of humans, where a civilization of mice attempt to survive harsh weather, even harsher predators, and each other. The gang discusses the many, gloriously illustrated sequences of absolutely brutal animal-on-animal violence; Petersen's awe-inspiring attention to detail, including a number of songs and poems that enrich the culture of his world; and Paul's newfound obsession with the series and its many ancillary offshoots.   NEXT: we're going back…to That Was Then! We're celebrating the 40th anniversary of Robert Zemeckis' classic blockbuster Back to the Future.     BREAKDOWN 00:00:48  -  Intro / Banter 00:28:13  -  Mouse Guard 01:41:54  -  Outro / Next   LINKS David Petersen's Mouse Guard “Creator Commentary” videos   MUSIC “One Brown Mouse” by Jethro Tull, Heavy Horses (1978) “…And the Mouse Police Never Sleeps” by Jethro Tull, Heavy Horses (1978)

We lost one of our legendary screen stars earlier this year, so now we're passing through the gates of VAL-halla to celebrate some of his most notable films. That's right, this is the first in an occasional series of double features focused on the work of none other than the elusive, enigmatic Val Kilmer. To kick things off, Paul, Arlo, and Eric are going back to the very beginning. Kilmer got his big screen start in a Zucker-Abraham-Zucker laff riot, 1984's Top Secret!; with the benefit of hindsight, it's clear that Val wasn't a good fit for the ZAZ machine, and the gang tells us why. Faring much better is Martha Coolidge's 1985 cult college classic Real Genius, which avoids the pitfalls of the era's other slobs v. snobs comedies with real heart and–of course–a terrific lead performance from Kilmer. Where are he (and we) going next? Stay tuned! Plus, Eric sings the praises of synthpop artist Lights' new album A6.   NEXT: Four-Color Flashback gets mice-eval on your heinie with David Petersen's rodent epic Mouse Guard.     BREAKDOWN 00:00:27  -  Intro / Banter 00:21:06  -  Top Secret! 00:55:36  -  Real Genius 01:55:42  -  Outro / Next   LINKS Eric's review of A6 by Lights Top Secret!'s ridiculous bookstore scene backwards AND forwards The Behind-the-Scenes Story of Real Genius by Ashley Burns and Chloe Schildhause, Uproxx The Real Real Genius by Phyllis Rostykus, Slate Astrophysicist Michael Siegel discusses The Real Genius of Real Genius   MUSIC “Val Kilmer” by Bowling For Soup, The Great Burrito Extortion Case (2006) “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” by Tears for Fears, Songs from the Big Chair (1984)
