Tireless synth-funklordz Chromeo had one goal in mind as they crafted Business Casual, their most presentable LP - make keyboard songs so infectious that even Michael Jackson would guest sing the hooks if heard - Follow the Rockwell Aesthetic. Never happened - but Chromeo are still awesome and the most reliable summer music festival late-night set artist in the game. When it's 2am in the Legionnaire Tent and you're putting glow sticks in your mouth and doing bumps of K off the backside of a frisbee, Chromeo is probably on that stage.

What's up everyone and welcome to The Corporate Bartender!"Rub some Dirt On It" is a thing of the past. Kicking off a career out of school is a different animal than it was when us GenXers were coming up.

The pandemic changed a lot of this.Well, if you have kids, or know someone who's about to launch, you're in for a treat. We've got Jenny Lavey on the program today.

Most of us have been there — standing in front of the closet, wondering why business casual feels so… forgettable. In this episode, stylist Tannya Bernadette coaches Rachel, a creative marketing professional, through real-time wardrobe upgrades that are both polished and deeply personal. No cookie-cutter rules. No generic “office outfit templates.” Just actionable style shifts that help you look like the leader you are becoming — even in a casual environment. In this episode, you'll learn:• How to elevate business casual without going overdressed — it's about intentional contrast, not formality.• Why color and personality matter in your wardrobe — comfort doesn't have to equal invisibility.• The mindset behind keeping clothes that serve you (and letting go of those that don't). If you want to start building a life (and a wardrobe) that actually reflects who you're becoming, this episode is for you.

This week, a rejuvenated Scott returned from vacation to sit down with his Lawfare colleagues Benjamin Wittes, Daniel Byman, and Kate Klonick to talk through some of the week's big national security news, including:“Occupational Hazards.” The Israeli government led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated its intent to occupy Gaza City, the last segment of Gaza not under Israeli military control, and displace its civilians to “designated safe areas.” In an apparent response to both domestic and international outrage at the plan, Netanyahu later disavowed any intent to annex Gaza—even as he acknowledged calls to do so from within his coalition—and finally laid out a rough Israeli end-goal for Gaza: namely, a non-Israeli governing entity, led by neither Hamas nor the Palestinian Authority, operating under complete Israeli security control. But will this be enough to assuage these concerns? And what does it tell us about where the Gaza conflict may be headed?“The Rake.” The Trump administration has struck a deal with chip manufacturers NVIDIA and AMD, allowing them to export certain high-end (but not frontier model) chips to Chinese companies engaging in AI research, among other relevant activities, so long as they share 15% of the profits with the government. It's a move that has both Democrats and Republicans worried about major power competition with China crying foul, and lawyers raising serious doubts as to its legal viability. What appears to be driving this recent about-face? And what does it say about the trajectory of U.S. policy on AI (and China)?“The War on Drugs. But, Like, Actually.” According to the New York Times, President Trump has reportedly signed a secret order authorizing the use of military force against drug cartels his administration has designated as terrorist organizations. Exactly what sort of military action may result is not yet clear, but it already has legal and policy experts raising concerns on a number of different fronts. How big a move is this, and what actions might it yield?In object lessons, Dan, in learning more about 18th-century rivalries, recommends the game Imperial Struggle. Ben, in cheerful outrage, revealed his plans for 100lbs of blue and yellow marking chalk. Scott, in humble apology, reveled in his new-found love of pizza beans. Kate, in cheerful anticipation, expects a weekend of reverie with 14 pounds of fruit and vegetables.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.
