In 2004, thousands of women applied for a Fox reality show that promised to turn "ugly ducklings" into beauties. It was called The Swan. Contestants spent three months cut off from friends and family while undergoing cosmetic surgery and intense fitness regimens, and most had no idea a beauty pageant was waiting at the end. Now director Erin Lee Carr (Britney vs Spears, Mommy Dead and Dearest) revisits the show in the new Hulu documentary The Swan: Behind the Mirror. She joins H. Alan Scott on Newsweek's Parting Shot podcast to talk about what the show did to the women who lived it, the prizes that came with a tax bill and why she calls the women "patient zero for the internet's appetite to tear [people] apart." Carr also reckons with her own hypocrisy, the audience's role in the judgment and how Ozempic and today's reality TV prove The Swan never really went away. Plus, the answer every woman gave to her final interview question: Would you do it again? "We live in the world that The Swan built, in ways that we like to have outrage about and then comply with."

What happens when a college kid turns a single Instagram post into a supercar business, then walks away to chase something that actually matters? At 23, JC Carr has already built and sold an exotic car brokerage, run a toy drive that moves six figures in gifts, and stepped into a family business shipping a million pieces a day. Steve Acorn sits down with JC to trace how a Miami kid with a camera and a thousand followers became a serial builder. They get into the 30-minute Instagram sale that started it all, the market that flipped from steep discounts to 100,000 dollars over sticker, the charity that fills a parking lot with Lamborghinis, and the choice to leave the flashy business behind. Skip this one, and you miss the real lesson hiding under the supercars. Listen now.

What makes a great spy novel? For William Boyd, it is complexity, uncertainty and that irresistible feeling that, as a reader, you are constantly trying to work out who can be trusted. In this SPOILER FREE special Spybrary conversation, Boyd joins Ollie Webb Carter (History Book Club Podcast) to discuss his Gabriel Dax novels and the latest instalment, Cold Sunset. They explore Boyd's lifelong fascination with espionage fiction, the influence of John le Carré, the real history that feeds into his novels, and why the analogue world of Cold War spying remains such fertile ground for a novelist. Along the way, William reveals the remarkable real-life MI6 figure who helped inspire Faith Green, shares his thoughts on the JFK assassination, reflects on the old-boy network that once dominated British intelligence, and explains how a television project that never came to fruition ultimately helped give birth to Gabriel Dax. They also discuss: • Why the best spy novels force the reader to think • Betrayal, false identities and the double and triple bluff • John le Carré and the literary tradition of spy fiction • How Gabriel Dax is gradually becoming a more accomplished spy • The real intelligence officer behind Faith Green • MI6, the CIA and Cold War regime change • Why modern surveillance makes contemporary espionage harder to write • The unexpected origins of the Gabriel Dax series • What could come next for Gabriel A fascinating conversation with one of Britain's most celebrated novelists about spies, history, writing — and the enduring appeal of espionage fiction. Featuring William Boyd in conversation with Ollie Webb Carter for Spybrary.
Vous les avez forcément remarqués : dans presque tous les QR codes, trois gros carrés noirs apparaissent dans trois des quatre coins. Mais à quoi servent-ils exactement ?Contrairement à ce que l'on pourrait croire, ces carrés ne contiennent pas directement les informations du QR code. Leur fonction est beaucoup plus fondamentale : ils permettent à l'appareil photo de votre téléphone de repérer immédiatement le code dans l'image.Ces motifs sont appelés « finder patterns », ou motifs de détection. Ils sont placés en haut à gauche, en haut à droite et en bas à gauche. En détectant leur position respective, le logiciel peut déterminer instantanément la taille du QR code, son inclinaison et surtout son orientation.C'est grâce à eux que vous pouvez scanner un QR code à l'endroit, à l'envers ou même en tenant votre téléphone de côté. L'appareil comprend tout seul comment remettre le code dans le bon sens.Mais pourquoi seulement trois carrés, et pas quatre ? Justement parce que l'absence d'un quatrième motif permet au système de savoir immédiatement quel coin est lequel. Si quatre motifs identiques étaient disposés symétriquement, déterminer l'orientation serait plus compliqué.Autre détail ingénieux : chacun de ces grands carrés possède une structure très particulière composée de zones noires et blanches. Lorsqu'une caméra les analyse dans une direction donnée, elle retrouve approximativement une succession de proportions 1-1-3-1-1. Cette signature visuelle est suffisamment inhabituelle pour que le logiciel identifie très rapidement la présence d'un QR code.Et les QR codes cachent d'autres astuces. On trouve parfois à l'intérieur de petits carrés supplémentaires : ce sont des motifs d'alignement. Ils servent notamment à corriger la perspective lorsqu'un QR code est photographié de biais ou imprimé sur une surface légèrement courbe.Le QR code possède également un système de correction d'erreurs extrêmement efficace. Une partie du code peut être abîmée, rayée ou même cachée sans empêcher sa lecture. Selon le niveau de correction choisi, jusqu'à environ 30 % du code peut être reconstitué. C'est d'ailleurs ce qui permet d'insérer un logo au milieu de certains QR codes.Le QR code a été inventé en 1994 par l'entreprise japonaise Denso Wave, notamment pour suivre les pièces détachées dans les usines automobiles. Son nom signifie « Quick Response », réponse rapide.Et sa capacité est étonnante : dans sa version maximale, un QR code peut contenir plus de 7 000 chiffres.Ainsi, les trois gros carrés que nous considérons comme décoratifs sont en réalité la clé de tout le système : avant même de lire les données, ils indiquent au téléphone où regarder… et comment regarder.

En Colombie, mineurs et enfants, sont embrigadés par centaines par des groupes armés. Rebelles ou criminels. Carrément enlevés, ou recrutés avec force fourberies. Un phénomène qui s'aggrave. Combattants perdus des FARC et d'ailleurs, ils sévissent particulièrement dans la région Cauca, où les populations autochtones sont les plus touchées. Pourquoi ces jeunes sont-ils enlevés? Mais que fait l'État ? Et quel rôle pour les réseaux sociaux ? Nous avons enquêté dans cette région du sud-ouest du pays. Plusieurs noms et voix ont dû être modifiés pour des raisons de sécurité. « Enfants et adolescents dans le piège des groupes armés en Colombie », un Grand reportage de Paola Ariza, de la rédaction en espagnol de RFI.
“What if we fell out with the Brits? What if the agency and the Brits started spying on each other again?” — David McCloskeyWhat if the Americans and the British started spying on each other again? That's the premise of London Station, David McCloskey's fifth novel, out today. It isn't as far-fetched as it sounds. Before the Second World War those perfidious Brits did spy on America, breaking American ciphers and running influence campaigns in New York to drag the United States into the war.McCloskey spent eight years as a CIA analyst working on Syria, then a spell at McKinsey, before writing a series of successful spy novels and co-hosting the popular The Rest Is Classified podcast. The Dallas-based author has also, he admits, become an Anglophile — which hasn't stopped him giving MI6 what the Brits would call a “good kicking” in London Station.His returning heroine is Artemis Aphrodite Procter, so named by a father obsessed with Greek mythology and raised on a Florida alligator farm. Described by another of McCloskey's characters as a competent extremist, she is short, dark, hard-drinking and equally mirthful and menacing. Probably not the type of Yank best suited to a pseudo-diplomatic posting in the capital of the former empire. Although I'm guessing there are many British fellows, both inside and outside MI6, not averse to spying on Ms Artemis Aphrodite Procter.Further Reading:• London Station by David McCloskey (W. W. Norton, September 29, 2026) — his fifth novel, after Damascus Station, Moscow X, The Seventh Floor and The Persian.• The Rest Is Classified — the espionage podcast McCloskey co-hosts with the BBC's Gordon Corera, where he and Gordon Corera have also discussed Patrick Radden Keefe's London Falling.• London Falling by Patrick Radden Keefe, a recent guest on this show — the dark-money London that runs in parallel with McCloskey's subterranean city of espionage.• Earlier this year on Keen On: Daniel Silva on Gabriel Allon — the other American spy novelist with a thing for the Brits. Five Takeaways • What If We Fell Out With the Brits? McCloskey never expected to set a novel in Britain, for a technical reason: the CIA–MI6 relationship is so institutionalized that it is hard to get the stakes right, and a thriller needs life or death. Then the question arrived — what if we fell out? What if the two services started spying on each other again? That is not fantasy, and the history is the reverse of what most people assume: before the Second World War the British spied on the Americans, broke their ciphers and ran influence campaigns in New York designed to pull the United States into the war. The novel imagines a new administration installing a brash CIA director skeptical of the cousins across the Atlantic, agents on both sides beginning to die, and a thriller that turns into a mole hunt. He is rude about MI6 throughout, which his British friends appear to enjoy — his theory being that Brits are self-deprecating enough to relish being picked on.• Classified Journalism. He joined the CIA in 2006 as an undergraduate intern and left in 2014, working almost the whole time on Syria. His description of the job is the best short account of intelligence analysis you will hear: it is classified journalism. You have a question your consumer needs answered — and when your consumer is the president and the question is how long Assad can hold on, the sourcing is satellite imagery, stolen documents, intercepted calls and texts, all of it fragmentary and some of it more credible than the rest. You stitch together the what, the why and the so what, and you write it up clean and apolitical so someone can decide something. Everything he publishes now, from a novel to a résumé, still goes to the agency's publication review board — though he argues the genuinely sensitive material would make for bad fiction anyway. Afterwards came McKinsey, where the work was pricing concrete pipe and clearing a rail bottleneck through Chicago, and where he was, as far as he knows, the only McCloskey.• Artemis Aphrodite Procter. The character began with a real colleague — short, dark curly hair, not physically imposing but with a genuine physicality, and possessed of what he calls a mix of mirth and menace: someone you can drink and gamble with who will terrify you two days later. Then, as good characters do, she started speaking for herself. Her biography is a small comic masterpiece: named by a father obsessed with Greek mythology, raised outside Kissimmee in central Florida on the family business, the nation's third largest alligator-themed amusement park, called Gatorville; university in Ohio; a first husband who didn't work out; an application to the agency made more or less on a whim. Not upper class, not really middle class, and it shows in how she dresses, eats and speaks to people — which is exactly why putting her in London was irresistible. One character calls her a competent extremist. The running question across the books, he says, is what it means to be loyal to a place that is not loyal to you.• Can a Man Write Her? AK put the objection directly: some literary thought police would say a male former CIA officer has no business inventing a female one. Two answers. First, the same logic throws out Anna Karenina, and he would rather part company than follow it. Second, and more interestingly, he thinks the objection misunderstands what novelists do: you are not inhabiting a character's skin, you are hearing a voice and putting it on the page. His analogy is a reporter interviewing WNBA players — not sharing their background means more work, more research, more time with the subject, not a prohibition. On whether women make different spies he declines the generalization, while noting a real asymmetry: his analytical teams at the agency were at least half women, often majority, while the case officer cadre and the upper rungs of the Directorate of Operations remain heavily male. Which leaves the question he finds genuinely interesting about Procter — how much of her was always there, and how much the organization made.• No Smiley Without Philby. On traitors, he separates the fiction from the trade. In literature they are everything, and Philby above all — not only because he turned an institution inside out but because his betrayal said something deep about the British class system that still resonates. Hence the line of the hour: you probably don't have George Smiley without Kim Philby, le Carré having essentially novelized the wound. (AK's reversal: perhaps you don't have Philby, in the public mind, without Smiley.) Inside the actual bureaucracies, though, nobody is wrestling with those ghosts day to day. And on Britain's place in all this, he refuses AK's harsher framing — a subtext to a subtext — while conceding the structural reality: the agency is much larger and much richer, and when it wants to do somet...
This week's conversation, "Cross Colors," confronts our current attention-deficit society, one that causes us to forget what happened last week, much less before, and to attempt to command attention with shorthands that too often court obscuring spectacle. We use our Africana Studies framework to examine recent cultural and historical flashpoints: A new book offering even more proof of Thomas Jefferson fathering children across “racial” lines; the unveiling of a new Kwanzaa stamp that replaces Pan-African flag colors with pink, lime green, and yellow pastels; and a new New York Times Magazine article that grapples with dilemmas of collective Black US public education without a mention of education as self-determination and intellectual warfare by Africans in the US during the era of human trafficking and its afterlives.To confront a racialized US and global Social Structure in pursuit of collective power, we continue to ask core Africana Studies Framework questions: What are our best and most effective Governance experiences with educating our children and how do we scale them in hostile, anti-African Social Structures? How do we confront race without centering it as the comparative lens for viewing our humanity? What happens when race obscures our Ways of Knowing, leading to endless debates about crossing colors in a racial state and is racial integration while preserving the whole African person even possible within it? In this conversation, we will be generous with one another, agreeing to agree with love, facts, and in pursuit of self-determining Governance formations.Are you a member of Knarrative?

You probably know the name Jack Carr as one of our most famous and talented novelists through The Terrninal List and other books in the James Reece series. Before his success as a writer, Carr spent two decades in the U.S. Navy, most of those as a U.S. Navy SEAL and he served in both Afghanistan and Iraq.In this edition of Veterans Chronicles, Carr explains how he wanted to become a Navy SEAL since he was seven years old and read about them in many different books. He also walks us through BUD/S training, why he never seriously thought of quitting, and the reason many candidates drop out long after Hell Week.Carr also reveals how he heard about the 9/11 terrorist attacks, why he became an officer, and finally being deployed to Afghanistan. Then he takes us through two tours in Iraq, including tough fighting in Najaf and a CIA-connected assignment focused on deconfliction.Finally, Carr details how he kept the mission and men front and center during his deployments.
Sombres, discrets, ambivalents... les héros de John le Carré sont loin de l'image d'Epinal de l'agent secret. Des années 1960, en pleine guerre froide, jusqu'à après sa mort en 2020, l'écrivain britannique a plongé ses lecteurs dans la réalité du métier d'espion. Un réalisme qu'il tire de sa propre expérience, lui-même ayant été agent du MI5 et du MI6 à la fin des années 1950. Et ce regard sur la géopolitique et le renseignement n'a pas fasciné que ses lecteurs : il a aussi inspiré les espions du monde entier. Cette semaine, dans "Nid d'espions”, Charlotte Baris et Etienne Girard, directeur adjoint de la rédaction de L'Express et spécialiste des questions d'espionnage, décryptent la plume influente de John le Carré. “Nid d'espions” est un podcast de L'Express, consacré au renseignement, et au rôle majeur des espions dans les moments clés de l'Histoire.

General Hospital's Asher Antonyzyn and Finn Carr joined me to talk about growing up, going to school and working in Port Charles as Danny Morgan and Rocco Falconeri.Asher and Finn shared how acting first came into their lives, their General Hospital auditions, what they remember about finding out they had landed their roles and their first days on the GH set.We talked about balancing school, travel and work, what it's like when the younger generation of Port Charles is together at the studio and some of their favorite scenes and storylines.They also shared what they've learned from working alongside an extraordinary cast, including daytime legends Genie Francis, Nancy Lee Grahn and Jane Elliott, and how much they absorb simply by watching these experienced actors work.Asher discussed joining General Hospital in 2023 as Danny Morgan in his first professional acting role, while Finn looked back at beginning his acting career at just four years old and eventually joining GH as Rocco Falconeri in 2022.It was such a pleasure spending time with Asher and Finn. They are two talented young actors with great heads on their shoulders, and I'm looking forward to watching what comes next for both of them and for Danny and Rocco.
Pat Boyle and Brad Evans react in real time to New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart exiting Monday Night Football with a knee injury before rolling through a lively edition of "The Good and the Bad" recapping the biggest storylines of the weekend. On the positive side, the discussion celebrates the Denver Broncos' dominant second-half defensive takeover against Jacksonville, Kenneth Walker III's clutch fantasy heroics, C.J. Carr's stellar play for Notre Dame, and Patrick Mahomes looking back in vintage form. Turning to the negative, the crew breaks down Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers' collapse following a two-hour weather delay, Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers' offensive disaster in New England, and critical blunders that cost the Chicago Bears.
Global and domestic systems upholding US power continue to fracture, threatening partial collapse. Other countries accelerate work to bypass US influence and form new protective alliances.US public institutions face new threats from a determined minority of self-centered political actors moving in a distortion field of disregard, delusion, and avoidance. Amid this instability, African, Indigenous, and immigrant communities face renewed pressure to organize to protect themselves against a system that still values and protects whiteness as a property interest.Against these threats, the 55th annual Congressional Black Caucus Legislative Conference convened with the theme "Rooted, Ready and Rising." Despite an array of policy analysis and extensive networking, efforts to catalyze urgent calls for decisive collective action remain a challenge. With US mid-term elections less than two months away, a wave of media disinformation is swelling to protect more organized actors. This onslaught threatens to leave the general public unequipped to navigate crumbling structures around them.As In Class With Carr continues our collective work of repair, we are determined to prepare for a potentially collapsing US political house by rooting ourselves in the reliable weekly space of our Mbongi.Are you a member of Knarrative?

What if the missing link between operative and speculative Freemasonry wasn't found inside the operative lodge—but among the men surrounding the builders?In this episode of Masonic Muscle: The Origin War, we investigate A. Geoffrey Markham's Associate Theory.Markham directs our attention toward the social world surrounding major building projects: the craftsmen doing the work, the men supplying and organizing it, and the wealthy patrons financing it.Could repeated contact between these groups have created a class of non-operative “Associate Masons”? And when the religious and building world of England changed during the Reformation, could those relationships have survived and gradually developed into something resembling speculative Freemasonry?It's a plausible mechanism.But where is the documentary bridge?We examine:Markham's Characteristics and Origins in Early FreemasonryDonors, providers and operative buildersThe proposed “Associate Mason”The effects of the English ReformationReligious guilds as a possible additional influenceThe problem of the sixteenth-century documentary gapContact versus actual Masonic participationWhat evidence would be needed to demonstrate continuityMarkham changes where we search.Carr tells us to look inside the operative lodge. Markham tells us to look around it.But working with masons doesn't automatically make someone a Mason.No verdict. We put the theory under the weight and see what the evidence can carry.And because we've already investigated Cyril N. Batham's Monastic Theory, we'll move next to Peter S. E. Sandbach's Darwinian Concept and a radically different question:What if nobody invented speculative Freemasonry? What if it evolved?Continue the investigation and subscribe to the Masonic Muscle Dispatch:masonicmuscle357.riverside.comStrengthening the Craft.

Carr, Darian Mensah, Julian Sayin and the possibility of Atlanta tanking for its next franchise quarterback. #AtlantaFalcons #MichaelPenixJr #BucksBeat #NFLSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Mel Carr didn't set out to build a networking organization. She published her first book collaboration in 2022, checked every box her publisher handed her, hit international bestseller, and then watched everyone scatter. A year later she was still missing her people. So she rebuilt the whole thing around community: authors from one city, meeting on Zoom every two weeks, gathering in person for a photo shoot, then launching the book three separate times so each woman gets three chances to be seen. Nine books later, Six-Figure Chicks has more than 140 authors, four volumes out of Arizona, three out of Houston, and a run of new cities ahead including Virginia, Boston, Las Vegas and Maui, with Canada next year. Mel walks us through how the name came to her, how a business coach asking "how much do you want to make this year?" changed what she thought was possible, and why she keeps giving her knowledge away for free.The through line is vulnerability, and Mel is candid about how long it took her to practice it. She didn't tell anyone publicly that she signed herself out of high school at 15 until a year or two ago, because she was afraid people would decide she wasn't smart enough to run a company. It was reading the other authors' raw stories that gave her permission to tell her own. That same instinct led her to found Her Write to Rise, a nonprofit connecting the authors with the next generation through monthly virtual Fishbowl sessions and in-person mentorship on college campuses, built around a simple message: it's okay to ask for help. We also get into what it means to receive help once you've asked, why sharing the hard parts does more good than sharing the polished ones, and what each of us would tell our 15-year-old selves.

This week, Smithsonian Institution Secretary Lonnie Bunch announced his retirement after a nearly four decade affiliation with its network and ending his seven year tenure as the first African American and first Historian to lead the institution founded in 1848. A decade ago this month, the National Museum of African American History and Culture opened. Bunche's efforts leading both institutions provide a lens through which to consider ongoing contests over relationships between integrating various national identities into larger Social Structures of state affiliation, citizenship and belonging.In an era where white nationalist nativism in the United States increasingly aligns with global white supremacist political movements, Bunch's structural attempts to integrate various competing narratives of collective memory often inflamed U.S. white nationalist ideologues and extremists determined to use high-stakes cultural battlegrounds to cement an emerging minority rule.This collision of narrative and space echoes Paul Goldberger's recent reflection on the World Trade Center's 25th anniversary in The New York Times, where he observed, "You can destroy something in an instant, but it will take a generation to rebuild it, and even then it cannot ever be the same."The Africana Studies Framework allows us to examine both competing ideas of Governance and underlying Social Structures in which they exist. How do we recognize both interpretive differences and undeniable realities? How can we use Movement and Memory to build self-determining Governance formations? And what can and will emerge in the wake of a shifting world system?Are you a member of Knarrative? If not, we invite you to join our community today by signing up at: https://www.knarrative.com.

This pre-Labor Day week was marked by the transition of Cultural Meaning-Maker Cassandra Wilson, whose artistic labor reminds us of the power of narratives of long-view memory as anchors for Ways of Knowing that shape our lives. As White nationalist politicians and others' increasingly desperate efforts to force-feed us their own narrow, absurdist, and fevered stories of US and global authority, Social Structure institutions weaken through overreach and the abandonment of previously settled norms. Narratives of authoritarian triumphalism, as always, ultimately fracture under the weight of shifting realities. Meanwhile, structures and formations dedicated to expansive imaginings of better worlds persist. How do the stories we are told and the ones we create for ourselves shape our individual and collective decision-making, and when forces determined to direct our behavior war against our collective memory, what is the ultimate cost to our collective political behavior?Are you a member of Knarrative?
