Attacker drained 11.59 BTC from 10 users, all on altcoin trades. Maintainer Henrik Jannsen filed a reimbursement plan on GitHub on May 3, payouts in BTC (with BSQ as optional), DAO vote scheduled around May 25. The hotfix landed as Bisq 1.10.0 on 2026-05-16 with broader hardening: trade protocol checks, network message validation, release verification, supply-chain hardening.

At the same time, he is researching the life of his ailing great-grandmother. It's a story about coming of age, identity, and healing. Native Hawaiian writer Keala Kendall offers a different view of what many vacationing outsiders consider paradise in the supernatural thriller, “That Which Feeds Us”. Lehua follows the trail of her missing twin sister to the secluded Kōpa'a Island Resort in Hawaii. She recalls the stories her grandparents told of their homeland, which is now a commodity to wealthy resort patrons. A series of terrifying visions teach Lehua an all-too-real lesson about the land's brutal past. We add both books to our Native Bookshelf.

In this bonus episode of Rethinking EHS, Beatrice Bizzaro and Ivy Liu take a deeper dive into the environmental consequences of 6PPD-quinone, focusing on its devastating effects on coho salmon. As a keystone and indicator species, coho salmon play a critical role in ecosystem health and provide an early warning signal for water pollution. The episode explains how 6PPD, a widely used tire additive, reacts with ozone to form a highly toxic byproduct that enters waterways through stormwater runoff. This has led to acute and often rapid mortality events in salmon populations, particularly in urban streams, with significant ecological, cultural, and economic implications. Ultimately, the episode underscores the urgent need for improved stormwater management, stronger regulatory action, and the development of safer chemical alternatives. It calls on organisations and regulators to take proactive steps to reduce pollutant release and better protect aquatic ecosystems.  ----- Timestamps: 00:06 – Introduction & episode overview 00:43 – Why coho salmon are key indicator species 03:28 – How 6PPD enters waterways 05:04 – Why research is concentrated in the Pacific Northwest 06:09 – Key takeaways and urgency for action 07:28 – Salmon life cycle and vulnerability 09:25 – “Canary in the coal mine” explained 11:45 – Closing reflections ----- Sponsor: Rethinking EHS is brought to you by the Inogen Alliance.

In this episode of the Shift AI Podcast, Pete Johnson, Field CTO of AI at MongoDB, joins host Boaz Ashkenazy for a wide-ranging conversation on where AI agents are actually delivering ROI — and what still needs to happen before enterprises can trust them with customers.Pete shares his origin story as a self-taught programmer who got his start on a TRS-80 in 1981, traces how MongoDB was born into a world of cloud, mobile, and internet that relational databases were never designed for, and explains why vector search sits at the intersection of MongoDB's document model and modern AI use cases.The conversation digs into Pete's "Customer Agent AI World Tour," where he has met with enterprises in over a dozen cities and heard a consistent message: production-grade agents are real, ROI is measurable, but the deployments are employee-facing and human in the loop. Pete explains the three things blocking the jump to customer-facing agents at scale, governance, observability, and evaluations, and why that challenge mirrors the early days of HTTPS standards for e-commerce.Boaz and Pete also explore the growing conversation around sovereign AI and on-prem inference, why Apple's edge device ecosystem may be the quiet wildcard in the infrastructure debate, and how MongoDB's Atlas platform lets organizations deploy data across 125-plus hyperscaler data centers worldwide.The episode closes with a forward-looking discussion on the future of software engineering, Werner Vogels' five skills for tomorrow's engineer, and why Pete's two-word forecast for the future of work is "not doomsday" — backed by a compelling contrast between the bank teller and the tollbooth worker as a framework for thinking about automation and job transformation.This episode is essential listening for enterprise leaders, developers, and anyone thinking seriously about where agentic AI is today versus where it is headed.Chapters[00:00] From Intellivision to TRS-80: Pete's Tech Origin Story[03:13] What MongoDB Is and Why the Document Model Matters[06:23] Joining MongoDB and the Vector Search Opportunity[07:50] What Pete Is Hearing on His AI World Tour[09:06] Why Fortune 500s Start with Employee-Facing Agents[11:11] Security, Governance, and the Three Big Blockers to Customer-Facing AI[14:29] How Software Engineering Is the Canary in the Coal Mine[16:56] Sovereign AI, On-Prem Inference, and the Cost of Tokens[20:14] The Apple Edge Device Wildcard[21:19] How MongoDB's Atlas Platform Fits a Hybrid Cloud World[23:21] Using AI Agents Is Programming in English[25:50] Werner Vogels on the Five Skills Every Engineer Will Need[27:17] The Future in Two Words: Not Doomsday[28:08] Bank Tellers vs. Tollbooth Workers: Why Most Jobs Will Level UpConnect with Pete JohnsonLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/petecj2/Connect with Boaz AshkenazyLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/boazashkenazy/Email: info@shiftai.fm

Honeypots and canary files are two of the most underused tools in cybersecurity — and in this episode, Dr. Mike Saylor and I break down exactly how they work and why you should be using them. The short version: they're tripwires. They tell you a bad guy is poking around your network before anything gets encrypted.Mike walks through his layered security analogy, explains the three different ways organizations use honeypots — learning attacker tactics, distraction, and testing — and then we get into canary files: what makes them different from a honeypot, how they beacon home when stolen, and why clock synchronization matters more than most people think if you ever want that evidence to hold up.We also cover how to stand one up without a big budget, what tools are available, and why something is absolutely better than nothing. Plus, Mike and I have news about our new O'Reilly book, Learning Ransomware Response and Recovery.0:00 - Intro and book news1:09 - Meet the crew3:45 - Security is all about layers9:22 - What are honeypots and canary files?11:00 - Three ways honeypots work for you13:17 - Real-world examples: bait cars and glitter bombs15:20 - Making your honeypot convincing19:11 - Honeypot tools and options21:13 - Something is better than nothing24:10 - Monitoring and notifications25:05 - Canary files explained27:03 - How canary files beacon and track attackers28:03 - Don't forget to sync your clocks29:05 - Final thoughts

A new health scare made headlines this week, after three persons died and several others fell sick aboard the MV Hondius cruise ship. The infection in this case, was hantavirus, something most people have not heard of. Passengers from the stricken ship disembarked today after it docked at the Canary islands, and are flying back to their home countries, many of which are imposing quarantine requirements. The World Health Organization, which has been keeping tabs on this situation has recommended, but not mandated a 42-day quarantine once the passengers have landed. It has also said there is no cause for panic as this not another Covid-19 like situation and the overall risk to the general public is low. But what is hantavirus, who is at risk of contracting it and how is it treated?

Javier Milei is brash and audacious, and he loves Donald Trump. But in many ways Donald Trump is the one who is following Milei. Argentina has an 18 month head start on Russell Vought’s wet dream of implementing a harsh libertarian doctrine. For a while it looked like everything Milei did was succeeding. He tamed inflation, created an export surplus and got back on track with debt service. Economic shock doctrines that rely on austerity for the masses and corporate giveaways always wind up the same, however. It was only a matter of time. The wheels are coming off Milei’s project this year as inflation is back, money is tight and people are pissed. America’s canary came out of the coal mine with black lung.

VOV1 - Tổ chức Y tế Thế giới (WHO) cho biết đang triển khai các hoạt động sơ tán y tế khẩn cấp và đánh giá rủi ro sau khi ghi nhận ba trường hợp tử vong cùng nhiều ca nghi nhiễm virus Hanta trên tàu du lịch MV Hondius, hiện neo đậu ngoài khơi vùng biển Tây Phi.Ba hành khách đã thiệt mạng và ít nhất bốn người khác xuất hiện triệu chứng trên tàu. WHO cho biết hành khách hiện “đang tự cách ly trong khoang” với các biện pháp giãn cách nghiêm ngặt. Theo Công ty Oceanwide Expeditions, đơn vị vận hành tàu, hai máy bay chuyên dụng đang tới Cape Verde để sơ tán hai trường hợp cần chăm sóc y tế khẩn cấp cùng một người đi cùng nạn nhân người Đức đã tử vong trước đó. Những người này dự kiến được đưa về Hà Lan, song thời điểm cụ thể chưa được xác định.Sau khi hoàn tất sơ tán, con tàu dự kiến tiếp tục hành trình tới quần đảo Canary. Giới chức y tế Tây Ban Nha cũng xác nhận đang theo dõi tình hình và sẽ quyết định cảng đến thích hợp nhất. Trong khi đó, Chính quyền Cape Verde đã thiết lập khu cách ly và đội ngũ y tế chuyên trách. Bà Ângela Gomes, Giám đốc Y tế Quốc gia Cape Verde cho biết:“Bệnh viện đã chuẩn bị sẵn một khu vực có khả năng cách ly, nếu cần thiết, thể hiện khả năng huy động và ứng phó của chúng tôi. Một đội ngũ chuyên trách đã được thành lập, gồm các bác sĩ, chuyên gia về bệnh truyền nhiễm, y tá và kỹ thuật viên xét nghiệm, để hỗ trợ bệnh nhân trên tàu và, nếu cần, cả trên đất liền.”Diễn biến dịch bệnh cho thấy quá trình lây nhiễm đã kéo dài nhiều tuần trước khi được xác nhận. Ca bệnh đầu tiên xuất hiện triệu chứng từ ngày 6/4 và tử vong ngày 11/4 trên biển, song phải đến cuối tháng 4, sau khi một bệnh nhân được chuyển tới Nam Phi và có kết quả xét nghiệm dương tính, virus hanta mới được xác định là tác nhân nghi ngờ. WHO hiện coi đây là một ổ dịch tiềm tàng và đang tiếp tục điều tra nguồn gốc, trong đó có giả thiết liên quan đến biến thể Andes lưu hành tại Nam Mỹ.Cơ quan y tế Liên hợp quốc nhấn mạnh nguy cơ lây lan toàn cầu ở mức thấp, song vẫn theo dõi chặt chẽ tình hình trên tàu. Quyền Giám đốc về Chuẩn bị và Phòng ngừa Dịch bệnh và Đại dịch của WHO Maria Van Kerkhove cho biết:“Tình hình đang được theo dõi sát sao, và để đề phòng, hành khách được yêu cầu ở lại trong cabin trong khi việc khử trùng và các biện pháp y tế công cộng khác được thực hiện. Các đội ngũ y tế từ Cape Verde đang hỗ trợ trên tàu. Kế hoạch và ưu tiên hàng đầu của chúng tôi là sơ tán y tế hai người này để đảm bảo họ nhận được sự chăm sóc cần thiết. Vì vậy, kế hoạch hiện đang được tiến hành. Kế hoạch tiếp theo là con tàu sẽ tiếp tục hành trình đến quần đảo Canary.”Đợt bùng phát dịch bệnh lần này được đánh giá là bất thường khi virus Hanta, vốn lây truyền chủ yếu qua tiếp xúc với chất thải của loài gặm nhấm lại xuất hiện trên một phương tiện vận tải khép kín như du thuyền. Theo các chuyên gia y tế, đây là diễn biến “khá hiếm gặp” và cần được nghiên cứu kỹ hơn về cơ chế lây truyền.Virus Hanta có thể gây hội chứng phổi (HPS) với tỷ lệ tử vong cao, có thể lên tới 40%, trong khi hiện chưa có thuốc điều trị đặc hiệu. Diễn biến lần này vì vậy đặt ra yêu cầu tăng cường giám sát dịch tễ, năng lực xét nghiệm và khả năng ứng phó y tế trên các hành trình dài qua khu vực hẻo lánh, trong bối cảnh du lịch thám hiểm ngày càng phát triển./.Thu Hoài/VOV1Trụ sở WHO tại Thụy Sĩ (Ảnh: Reuters)

Ralph welcomes six authors to discuss their books: “Beyond Nuclear” founder Linda Gunter; trial lawyer Sean Simpson; law professor Elizabeth Burch; naturalist David Schmidt; industrial hygienist Marc Axelrod; and educator and advocate Jonathan Kozol.Linda Gunter is the founder of the US-based non-profit Beyond Nuclear and serves as its international specialist. Previously, she was a journalist at USA Network, Reuters, and The Times. She launched, and writes for Beyond Nuclear's online magazine, Beyond Nuclear International. And she is the author of No To Nuclear: Why Nuclear Power Destroys Lives, Derails Climate Progress and Provokes War.We need to reduce the most carbon, the fastest, for the least cost—and that's renewables every time. But it's also an issue of: as we divert funds towards nuclear power (new reactors, which are not here now, they're just aspirational ideas on paper, none of the designs have certifications or licenses yet) as we divert time and our money towards waiting for something that will perhaps take a decade or two (or never) to materialize, and as we squeeze out renewables in the process, what do we do? We continue to burn fossil fuels. So actually, choosing nuclear as an answer to climate makes the climate crisis worse.Linda GunterSean Simpson is an attorney specializing in civil jury trials, representing individuals who have been harmed by someone else's carelessness or intentional wrongdoing. He is the author of Punitive Damages: The Lawyer's Tool for Shaping Society.[Punitive damages are] typically not covered by insurance. But oddly enough, there's a trend coming now where these corporations—because they're in control, we've let them have the reins, and now they're getting insurance companies to sell them coverage to cover their punitive damages, which is totally a 180. If somebody else is going to pay your punishment for you, it's not going to sting your rump if somebody gets spanked on somebody else's behind.Sean SimpsonElizabeth Burch is a professor at the University of Georgia School of Law, and co-author of Perceptions of Justice in Multidistrict Litigation: Voices from the Crowd. She is the author of The Pain Brokers: How Con Men, Call Centers, and Rogue Doctors Fuel America's Lawsuit Factory.Imagine that you are sitting in your kitchen and you get a phone call one night. And you answer, and the person on the other end of the line knows an inordinate amount of information about you—they know your name, they know your birth date, they know the name of your doctor, the name of your hospital, the date and type of medical implant that you had put in you. And then they tell you that you have a ticking time bomb in you. And if you don't have this removed immediately (that in this case was pelvic mesh, which is designed to deal with incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse) that you are going to die. But not to worry, they are setting up appointments down in South Florida to have the mesh removed. What they don't say is all of the important things.Elizabeth BurchDavid Schmidt is lifelong San Francisco Bay Area resident, naturalist, and environmental historian. He worked as a writer in the public affairs office of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in San Francisco from 1991 to 2021, led dozens of hikes for the Greenbelt Alliance in the region's extensive public parklands, and volunteered on habitat restoration projects for the Golden Gate National Parks and the California Native Plant Society. He is the author of San Francisco Bay Area: An Environmental History.I think [the environmental movement in the Bay Area] is the most successful regional environmental movement in US history. Its victories have had a tremendous impact on protecting the natural landscape, the agricultural landscape. And this is a landscape that is famous for its scenic beauty. It's among the world's most biodiverse landscapes with more than a thousand species of plants and wildlife. And persistence pays off. That is the theme that comes across time and again with environmental victories is: persistence pays off.David SchmidtMarc Axelrod is an award-winning front line industrial hygienist and workplace safety professional. He has developed and implemented programs to protect people from industry's most hazardous technologies. He has worked for employers including Boeing, Kaiser Permanente, UCLA and the City of Beverly Hills. He is the author of The Flame Bucket: Adventures in Workplace Safety.You can lie down in the flame bucket and stop a [rocket] launch, but you can only do it once. So I decided that we had a very risky program [at the city of Beverly Hills]. It was for testing our commercial drivers for alcohol and drugs. And somehow they got a big percentage of them, almost a third of them, got left out of the program. And I can see, being backstage, what happens in city government where people leave and people come and how these kinds of things can occur. But when they do happen, what you've got to do is stop everything, blame the people that left, and then fix it right away. But this program—even though people knew that there was a big gap in it, they just didn't want to fix it. But I knew as City Safety Officer, I was responsible. So after months of delay, I said, “Listen, these drivers can't drive anymore. They can't do their safety functions without a clearance test from our drug and alcohol program.” And so that got their attention, and we quickly fixed the program, and I got a lot of thank yous. And then a few days later, I was fired.Marc AxelrodJonathan Kozol is a leading advocate for child-centered learning, equality, and racial justice in our nation's schools, and he travels and lectures about educational inequality and racial injustice. Mr. Kozol is the author of nearly a dozen books about young children and their public schools, including Death at an Early Age, An End to Inequality: Breaking Down the Walls of Apartheid Education in America, and We Shall Not Bow Down: Children of Color Under Siege: An Invocation to Resistance.My book is not simply a polite description of these problems. It's probably the most militant book I've ever written. It's an open call for militant resistance. And, you know, I get condemned for that, but I'm not afraid to say that I'm an unregenerate activist, and I'm too old to change my stripes.Jonathan KozolNews 5/1/26* Perhaps the biggest news of the week is the Supreme Court's 6-3 decision in Louisiana v. Callais to gut Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which preserved majority-minority congressional districts. In practice, this ruling gives conservative Southern states license to draw these districts out of existence. Jonathan Cervas, a political scientist at Carnegie-Mellon University who has served as a special master in multiple Voting Rights Act cases, is quoted in AP saying “The Voting Rights Act as a means to protect minority voters from vote dilution is essentially dead.” In the Washington Post, NAACP President Derrick Johnson called the decision “a devastating blow to what remains of the Voting Rights Act, and a license for corrupt politicians who want to rig the system by silencing entire communities,” and “a major setback for our nation and…the hard-won victories we've fought, bled, and died for.” In practice, this ruling is sure to set off a new round of redrawing congressional districts, likely resulting in a net gain of 12 seats – half of the Southern Section 2 districts – for the GOP. In Louisiana itself, CNN reports Governor Jeff Landry has halted House primaries, where “Early voting was scheduled to begin Saturday and overseas ballots had already gone out.” Moreover, “Democratic Rep. Cleo Fields, whose district is at the center of the Supreme Court's redistricting decision, said…Landry had told him he anticipated issuing an executive order to suspend the House election and call a new one.”* Speaking of Southern congressional districts, in Florida's 20th district, Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick has “defiantly” filed to run again in the special election for her former district, per NOTUS. Cherfilus-McCormick resigned her seat in Congress last week just minutes before the House Ethics Committee was scheduled to “recommend punishment on an array of charges.” She had previously been found guilty of “25 ethics violations, including allegedly stealing $5 million dollars in federal disaster-aid funds used to bolster her 2021 campaign,” following an extensive investigation running for two years and including “issuing 58 subpoenas, interviewing 28 witnesses and reviewing over 33,000 documents.” Elijah Manley, the young progressive running for the seat, is quoted saying “Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick resigned in disgrace moments before her colleagues were set to expel her from Congress…The last thing our community needs is a second round of chaos and instability. She should focus on her legal troubles.”* In more positive news from Congress, Rep. Greg Casar announced this week that the Congressional Progressive Caucus he chairs is issuing a new Affordability Agenda, bringing together a slew of bills sponsored by progressives – on topics ranging from housing to groceries to prescription drugs and more – into a unified package. In an introduction, the Caucus emphasizes that “Americans are facing a cost-of-living crisis and…At the same time, Democrats are searching for a vision that wins back the trust of working families and provides a mandate to deliver the big changes our country needs in 2026.” The question now is whether the Democratic Party will take up this banner and run with it or once again spurn their progressive base.* Meanwhile, the Trump administration is occupied with their continuing efforts to persecute comedians for anodyne jokes. The latest on this front is the Federal Communications Commission ordering the Walt Disney Company's ABC to seek early broadcast license renewals for the eight TV stations it owns, following a joke about Melania Trump on Jimmy Kimmel's late night show, NPR reports. The joke, a “mock speech for an alternative White House Correspondents' Dinner,” which went “Our first lady Melania is here. So beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow,” aired three days before the actual White House Correspondents' Dinner and the corresponding security threat. Kimmel has stressed that the joke was about the age difference between the President and First Lady “not, by any stretch of the definition, a call to assassination. And they know that.” FCC Commissioner Anna M. Gomez, sole Democrat still on the commission, issued a statement calling this “the most egregious action this FCC has taken in violation of the First Amendment to date…As part of its ongoing campaign of censorship and control, the White House called publicly for the silencing of a vocal critic, and this FCC has now answered that call.”* Another scandalous act of corruption from inside the federal government came to light this week with Gannon Ken Van Dyke, a special operations soldier stationed at Fort Bragg being charged with insider trading. Specifically, Van Dyke is charged with three counts of violating the Commodity Exchange Account, one count of wire fraud and one count of an unlawful money transaction for using classified government information to win over $400,000 via prediction betting site Polymarket vis-a-vis the kidnapping of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, per the Hill. U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Jay Clayton, also heading up the prosecution of President Maduro, is quoted saying “Prediction markets are not a haven for using misappropriated confidential or classified information for personal gain.” For their part, Polymarket has announced tightened insider trading rules, but continues to insist that “When we identified a user trading on classified government information, we referred the matter to the DOJ & cooperated with their investigation,” and that Van Dyke's arrest is “proof the system works.”* In more news related to Latin America, a new poll shows leftist Senator and presidential candidate Iván Cepeda with a substantial lead, according to the City Paper Bogotá. In polls of the first round, Cepeda drew 44.3%, while his rivals, Abelardo de la Espriella and Paloma Valencia drew 21.5% and 19.8% respectively, an impressive showing for Valencia who has nearly doubled her support since the last poll was taken. In the second round, polling shows Cepeda besting both rivals, 54.6% to 42.6% against de la Espriella and a narrower 51.2% versus 46.6% against Valencia. A Cepeda victory would continue the leftward trend in Colombian politics begun with the election of Gustavo Petro in 2022, a remarkable turnaround for one of the most stalwart conservative countries in the region.* Elsewhere on the globe, a new poll shows Jeremy Corbyn – the British left icon, former Labour Party leader and founder of Your Party – in danger of losing his long-held seat in the riding of Islington North. Corbyn, who was first elected to the seat in 1983, was able to keep his seat as an independent MP even after his expulsion from the Labour Party following the hostile takeover of the party by the centrist Keir Starmer regime. Yet now, with Your Party coming apart at the seams, the Greens look poised to capture the seat. However, the Canary notes that this poll only asked voters about their partisan voting intentions, with no mention of individual candidates. This means even if voters in Islington North are more sympathetic to the Greens overall, they could still return Corbyn himself to Parliament. Nevertheless, this poll gives some indication of how successfully the Greens have outmaneuvered Your Party, even in what should be their most solid riding.* Another iconic British public figure – King Charles III – is in America this week for a royal visit in which he addressed a joint session of Congress, met with President Trump and enjoyed a White House dinner. On Wednesday, the King attended a wreath-laying ceremony at Ground Zero in New York City, along with New York Governor Kathy Hochul, New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill and, most strikingly, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. This unlikely pairing has clearly piqued the interest of the press, who asked Mayor Mamdani what he would talk about with the King if they were to have a private moment together. While the duo did not ultimately have a private meeting, Mamdani responded that he would “probably encourage [the King] to return the Kohinoor diamond,” which POLITICO identifies as “an enormous bauble set into a royal crown on display in the Tower of London,” noting that the diamond has “become a point of contention between England and India.”* In more local news, with the protracted California gubernatorial primary on the horizon at last, the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees or IATSE, has thrown their weight behind progressive billionaire Tom Steyer, Variety reports. This piece notes Steyer's pledge to keep film and television production in Los Angeles along with his outspoken criticism of the merger between Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros. as well as his proposal to levy a tax on AI computations and use the proceeds to “fund training for displaced workers.” IATSE represents around 50,000 workers in California and 130,000 workers nationwide. Steyer has amassed considerable union support in his bid for perhaps the second most powerful political executive position in the country after the presidency, including the California Teachers Association, the California Federation of Teachers, and the California Nurses Association. Steyer's closest Democratic rival in the open primary, former Congressman, state Attorney General and HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra is racking up endorsements as well, including from Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California and powerful California politicianss such as Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas. With a close race between the top four leading Democrats and Republicans, the June 2nd primary is sure to conclude with a photo finish.* Finally, in Washington DC, the Democratic Mayoral primary continues to grow more acrimonious. This week, former Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie, the candidate backed by corporate donors and the DC political establishment, criticized progressive Councilmember Janeese Lewis-George in a fundraising email for supposedly accepting “dark money from outside interest groups.” Which groups you may ask? Local unions, representing tens of thousands of DC workers, including local branches of the AFL-CIO, UFCW, transit workers, teachers, the building trades and more. In a stinging rebuke, the unions excoriated McDuffie for his “disturbing pattern of anti-union talking points and votes” including opposition to wage increases for DC restaurant and child-care workers – while simultaneously accepting donations from “MAGA developers…[and] utility and energy executives.” Moreover, Axios reports Safe & Affordable DC, a labor-aligned super PAC, is launching a half-million dollar ad blitz attacking McDuffie on his record of favoritism towards the utilities at a moment when bills are higher than ever. Tensions mounted even higher this week, when the D.C. Office of Campaign Finance opened an investigation to determine whether Lewis George's campaign is collaborating too closely with her union allies – an allegation she has dismissed as “baseless.” It is worth noting that DC progressives have had this accusation leveled at them in the past, only for it to indeed prove baseless. Expect this race to get more heated, and more expensive, the closer we get to the June 16th primary.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

It's not the only market in that position, but it may be the most visible. For several years, Austin was one of the hottest multifamily markets in America. Population growth was strong. Job growth was strong. Tech expansion was strong. A lot of tech companies were relocating people from the more expensive silicon valley location to Austin where quality of life is better, cost of living is lower. For years, Austin was a poor second cousin to Silicon Valley in the tech industry. For example, if you were at Apple and wanted to have influence, you needed to be in Cupertino. Austin simply didn't have critical mass. That's no longer the case. Developers responded exactly the way you would expect. They built, and they built aggressively.From 2020 through 2025, apartment inventory in Austin expanded at one of the fastest rates in the United States. That construction wave was enormous. Tens of thousands of new units hit the market. At the same time, rent growth that had once been spectacular started to reverse. What had been a landlord's dream turned into a concession-heavy leasing environment.Today, the market is working through the consequences.---------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)  

Inside Comp: Talent Strategy in the AI Era If you're building a startup right now, you've probably felt it: the old culture and talent playbooks don't seem to work anymore. Hiring and org charts feel different. The talent profile you've been looking for seems to have changed with the demands this new paradigm brings. And if you're being honest, you're not entirely sure what the new rules are, because no one really does yet. It's being experimented with as we speak, and is constantly changing. Very quickly. Fresh off their $17.5M Series A led by Khosla Ventures (Keith Rabois' first investment in Brazil), Chris Gerlach (Founder & CEO) and Gabi Guidugli (Founding Team & Head of CX) from Comp join Florian Hagenbuch (Founder & General Partner at Canary) to break down how they're building an AI-native company, not just in product, but in culture, talent strategy, and organizational design. Chris and Gabi walked through the actual decisions they've made: why they eliminated traditional people managers, why everyone at Comp is a builder, how they're hiring future founders, and why they work out of a house instead of a corporate office. We explore new hybrid roles emerging in the AI era, forward-deployed HR specialists, AI builders who sit between product and customers, and what these unlock in terms of leverage, learning, and completely different career paths. You should listen to this if you are: A founder scaling teams in the AI era and questioning traditional org design An ambitious talent curious about new roles and career paths in AI-native companies Anyone rethinking what culture means when the rate of change is exponentially high Listen to hear how one of Brazil's most intentional AI-first startups is building differently.

Pastor Bob Fox has watched the prayer culture of evangelical churches shift dramatically over the last twenty-five years, and he is not quiet about what that shift has cost. This is a serious, grounded call to pastors and congregations to recover what was lost and restore it for a city under pressure. America Pray Now Assistant Director Ken Miller interviews Pastor Fox in a conversation that calls all believers back to a life of prayer.-------America Pray Now publishes a magazine on prayer that is free of charge and can be delivered directly to your home. You can sign up for this magazine on our website at americapraynow.comIn addition to our weekly podcast, we meet in 17 different cities every month to pray in person. Most of our in-person prayer meetings are in Virginia, and we also have meetings in Maryland, West Virginia, Delaware, North Carolina and South Carolina. See our website for times and dates at americapraynow.comEnjoy the Podcast? Let us know! Email us at podcast@americapraynow.com-----------SUMMARYVirginia Beach is not just a resort city. To Pastor Bob Fox, it is a place of foundational spiritual significance for the entire nation, and what happens there matters far beyond its borders.That conviction drives this episode of the Virginia Pray Now monthly call, hosted by Ken Miller of America Pray Now. Pastor Fox, who has served in pastoral ministry in the Hampton Roads area for thirty-five years, joins the call to share his burden for Virginia Beach and to make a case that the church in that city, and perhaps across the country, has quietly retreated from one of its most essential callings: corporate, focused, expectant prayer.The historical foundation Pastor Fox returns to is the 1607 landing at Cape Henry, where the first English settlers knelt and dedicated the land to Jesus Christ before they did anything else. Fox sees this act as more than a historical footnote. He believes it established a spiritual root for the nation, and that the health or brokenness of this region flows outward into the rest of America. This is not background information to him. It is the reason Virginia Beach carries unusual weight in the spiritual geography of the country, and the reason its current struggles demand serious attention from the church.Those struggles have become visible in disturbing ways. Over consecutive weekends, the Virginia Beach oceanfront saw multiple-victim shootings that shocked the city and led officials to impose curfews that are essentially unprecedented for a place that has long prided itself on being one of the safest large cities in the nation. The tourism industry, central to the city's economy, took an immediate hit. But Pastor Fox is less concerned with the economic impact than with what these events reveal. He describes the violence and the depression gripping young people as a canary in the coal mine, a signal that something is deeply wrong beneath the surface of community life. His point is not to catastrophize, but to name the moment clearly: the city is hurting, and the church needs to move toward that hurt rather than away from it.At the center of his concern is what he sees as the slow erosion of corporate prayer and community engagement within evangelical churches. He traces this shift across roughly twenty-five years. A generation ago, weekly prayer meetings and active evangelism teams were standard features of church life. Today, those practices have largely disappeared. Churches, in his assessment, have become proficient at serving their own members while losing their outward orientation toward the community. The result is a spiritual vacuum. The church has stepped back from standing in the gap for the vulnerable and the lost, and that withdrawal has consequences.Pastor Fox is careful not to offer despair as a conclusion. Instead, he points toward specific, actionable responses. The first is directed at civil leadership. He believes Mayor Bobby Dyer of Virginia Beach has a unique opportunity and responsibility to call the city to a day of prayer and fasting. Fox cites historical precedents with striking specificity: Abraham Lincoln's call to prayer during the Civil War, King George's call for national prayer before the Dunkirk evacuation, and Governor Pillsbury of Minnesota, who faced a devastating locust plague in the 1870s and declared a day of prayer after all other remedies had failed. In each case, according to Fox, the response from God was measurable and swift. His argument is that a mayor carries a level of credibility and reach that can mobilize diverse houses of worship in ways that individual pastors cannot. When a civic leader stands up and calls people to pray, something shifts.But the second, and ultimately more foundational, response must come from pastors themselves. Fox is direct: if the pastor does not model and lead corporate prayer, the congregation will not follow. He challenges church leaders to move away from broad, unfocused prayer requests and toward specific, sustained intercession on defined topics over a period of months. This approach, he argues, allows people to see that their prayers are actually producing results, which builds faith and increases participation. He also presses the issue of repentance, not only personal repentance, but what he calls foundational repentance for the ancestral sins connected to the Jamestown colony, including the early exploitation of indigenous people and the origins of the slave trade in America. He frames the confession of these sins as a biblical act, necessary before God can fully heal the land.The call closes with an extended time of intercession led by Ken Miller, Pastor Fox, and America Pray Now Director Hanna Alway. Their prayers are specific: wisdom for city officials, judges, and law enforcement; protection over the young people of Virginia Beach; a fresh move of the Spirit across the region. They also address a redistricting proposal on the upcoming ballot, urging listeners to engage with it as a matter of justice and righteous representation.The episode ends with a thirty-day prayer commitment focused on Virginia Beach, rooted in the belief that what God does there does not stay there. It ripples outward. The church's job is not to wait for conditions to improve. It is to pray, repent, engage, and trust that God responds when His people ask with faith and specificity.

Dr. Kenneth Levin has made a career of battling the aggression, canards and outright lies spewed by anti-Israel media, educational institutions and political activists. His newest book focuses on the Jewish communities' self delusion in an era of rapidly rising anti-Semitism. He tells Eve Harow that intense hatred emanating from the far right is sadly expected, but the Jewish leadership identification with and capitulation to ‘progressives', jihadists and black nationalists is naive, appalling and dangerous. His expertise in psychiatry and history combine in this very important book to cogently explain the differences and commonalities of the modern expressions on the oldest hatred. In memory of the 6 million who paid the ultimate price and in honor of the Israelis who will never let it happen again.

Lots of nations gauge the health of their country by how the middle class is doing. There’s just one issue with that – no one can say exactly what defines the middle class.
