A fast-burning episode that dissects the shockwaves from Zohran Mamdani's rise: what a democratic-socialist mayor in New York means for the national Democratic coalition, for wealthy residents and businesses, and for how Republicans sell their message when Trump isn't on the ballot. Expect sharp takes on elite reactions (including Bill Maher), polling that warns of a potential exodus, and a look at whether New York's shift will be a one-off or the start of a wider movement. ([The Guardian][1]) One city's swing can redraw the national story — are you ready for the fallout? politics, NYC mayor, Zohran Mamdani, democratic socialism, Bill Maher, voter migration, polling, GOP strategy, midterms, election analysis Hosts unpack conservative alarm and liberal division following Mamdani's victory, including high-profile criticisms and warnings from media figures. They examine polls suggesting up to ~9% of New Yorkers say they'd definitely leave under a socialist mayor — and what that could mean for the city's tax base and economy. ([New York Post][2]) Next, the conversation explores whether Mamdani's win is a unique New York phenomenon tied to local demographics and activism, or the opening salvo of a national DSA-style playbook — and how Republicans might exploit it as a national campaign message. The hosts also debate whether youthful flirtation with socialism can coexist with pro-Trump youth trends, and what organizing or messaging is needed to compete where Trump isn't on the ballot. ([The Guardian][1]) Finally, the episode closes with concrete listener prompts: would you leave your city over politics? What policies truly threaten the local economy — and which headlines are hype? The hosts promise a follow-up episode digging into exit polls and demographic internals to see who moved the needle.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1188: Today we're talking Toyota's global muscle amid U.S. tariffs, Waymo's bold autonomous rollout into new cities, and why your store's holiday playlist might be just early enough to keep shoppers smiling.Show Notes with links:Toyota posted a surprising 62% jump in second-quarter profit and raised its annual outlook, even as U.S. tariffs continue to take a multi-billion-dollar toll. The automaker's resilience stems from its increasingly global revenue base and a strong performance outside North America.Despite nearly $3B in quarterly tariff costs, Toyota's bottom line rose thanks to gains in Europe, Africa, and currency advantages.Q2 net profit hit ¥932B (~$6.2B), easily beating analyst estimates of ¥801B (~$5.3B), and revenue rose 8.2% year-over-year to ¥12.4 trillion (~$82.7B).President Trump, speaking to U.S. troops in Japan last week, said Prime Minister Kishida told him Toyota would invest $10B in U.S. manufacturing. “Go out and buy a Toyota,” Trump added.Waymo is accelerating its position as the autonomous driving front-runner, announcing a major expansion into San Diego, Detroit, and Las Vegas. The move adds to an already impressive footprint that includes full-service robotaxi operations in Los Angeles, Phoenix, and the Bay Area.Waymo will begin service in San Diego in 2026, with Detroit and Las Vegas to follow shortly after.The company is emphasizing snow-readiness in Detroit, citing ongoing cold-weather testing in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.Waymo's return to Las Vegas is symbolic—it passed the first-ever state self-driving test in Nevada back in 2012.Waymo continues logging 2 million autonomous miles per week and plans to launch in Miami, Dallas, Washington, and even London by 2026.Retailers are decking the halls earlier than ever, and despite the usual grumbling about “Christmas creep,” most shoppers seem totally fine with it. A new survey reveals that the majority of U.S. consumers don't mind holiday music and décor showing up well before Thanksgiving.Only 20% of consumers think retailers should wait until after Thanksgiving to start the holiday ambiance.A combined 55% are cool with it starting in early to mid-November, while 22% are fine with it as early as October.Mood Media, a company specializing in in-store atmosphere, says holiday scents and music can actually increase shopper “dwell time.”41% of consumers said holiday vibes make them stay longer; only 6% said it makes them leave sooner.0:00 Intro with Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier0:30 ASOTU Edge Webinar on AI and Data Today!1:28 Toyota Raises Guidance Amid Tariff Hits3:44 Waymo To Add San Diego, Detroit and Las Vegas6:51 Shoppers Seem TJoin 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/

Kristina and Anna unpack how the Inner Villain system shows up in everyday life: time blindness, rule-set clashes, obsessive “fixing,” and the loneliness of divide-and-conquer living. Kristina shares how mold, town history, and nervous-system patterns mirrored the Evasive Expert arc—and the practical “FUNNY” framework she and Luke use to slow down, reconnect, and shift out of overthinking. Anna explores the Righteous Bully, Obedient Critic, Nothing (Invisible Destroyer), and Eternal Child dynamics in relationships, with concrete tools for timing difficult conversations. Together they sketch common pairings between villains, why some arcs magnetize each other, and how to convert shadow patterns into serviceable strengths.Chapter Markers00:00 Checking in: ego death, gratitude as daily practice02:23 Why the Villain work feels more useful than “primal wounds” alone04:58 Anti-heroes and arcs: we're rarely pinnacle villains for long05:58 What is time blindness and how it strains relationships08:49 Calendar blindness vs time blindness09:58 Time for mortals: insights from Four Thousand Weeks (Oliver Burkeman)11:58 Estimation traps, executive function, and project-management “laws”13:58 Tools: timers, delayed conversations, and tech to protect relationships15:00 The Evasive Expert must slow down: decompression blocks and focus holds16:48 Safety, protection, and the urge to “fix it now”18:00 Cities, homes, couples as arcs; mapping a house as Evasive Expert21:45 Diagnostic combos: how 7-8-9 become “advanced” villains24:50 Obedient Critic rabbit holes and living by rule sets27:15 Laws of nature over personal rules; the Law of Procession31:40 Case study: two Obedient Critics and the family rule set clash33:50 Couples and houses as Villain ecosystems39:00 The FUNNY framework to invert the Evasive Expert44:10 Golden Hour: shared effort to reduce isolation50:10 Righteous Bully with the Nothing: common pairing patterns54:15 Other frequent pairings and why they happen58:40 Meme break: naming the villains with humor1:03:10 Working with parts: IFS, deconditioning, and flipping subtypes1:06:15 Homework and next episode: communicating with each villainKey Concepts & ToolsTime Blindness vs Calendar BlindnessTime blindness: difficulty perceiving passing minutes and sequencing tasks.Calendar blindness: difficulty tracking dates, planning horizons, and overlaps.Villain Arcs (selected)Obedient Critic (OC): lives by rigid rule sets; seeks correction and order.

Affordable Gay-Friendly Retirement in Taiwan: Top 5 Cities RankedThinking of retiring in Asia where gay rights have advanced and everyday life feels modern and livable? On episode 614 we head to Taiwan to explore one of the region's most unexpected retirement gems for gay men: full same-sex marriage, vibrant queer culture, lower cost of living and global infrastructure.Hosts John & David walk you through the Top 5 Taiwanese cities for LGBTQ+ retirement, break down cost of living, queer infrastructure, and the trade-offs you'll need to know.What you'll get in this episode:Why Taiwan leads Asia for LGBTQ+ acceptance and what that really means for early retirement abroad.City-by-city breakdown of the Top 5: from tranquil towns to the heart of queer nightlife.Average 2-bedroom rent (USD), how the cost of living compares to the U.S., and our updated Queer Money Retirement Rating for each city.The one major missing piece for U.S. expats: no tax treaty with the U.S. (yet) and what that can mean for your retirement plan.How to weigh “affordability + queer culture” when choosing abroad instead of “cheap only”.Takeaways:You can find a modern, livable retirement location in Asia with strong queer rights and lower cost of living.Affordability is relative: even the “cheapest” Taiwanese cities are still going to cost something — quality housing, good transport, medical care matter.Legal equality (same-sex marriage) is a huge baseline win — but other elements (trans/non-binary inclusion, tax issues) still vary.Your personal “vibe” matters: Are you after quiet affordability or full queer community energy? Taiwan offers both ends of the spectrum.Always check the tax/financial dimension early when you're planning overseas retirement — no treaty with the U.S. = extra research required.What to do next:If you're ready to map out your path to gay-friendly early retirement abroad — whether Taiwan or elsewhere — grab your free Happy Gay Retirement Calculator today at: https://queermoneypodcast.com/hgrcalcJoin the conversation: comment, share your experience, or send us your questions about retiring abroad as gay men.Suggested other episodes you'll love:Episode 610 – “Top 5 LGBTQ+ Retirement Cities in Greece”Episode 599 – “Affordable Gay Retirement Cities in Portugal”Episode 575 – “Understanding Tax Treaties Before You Retire Abroad”Episode 542 – “Bold Retirements: Gay Men in Mexico's Pacific Coast Towns”Chapters:00:00 - Intro02:22 - Taichung05:16 - Kaohsiung 07:09 - Tainan09:10 - New Taipei (suburbs of Taipei)11:23 - Taipei15:14 - OutroMentioned in this episode:Get Your Portugal Golden Visa Here!Get Your Portugal Golden Visa Faster Here!Want a European passport with access to living in nearly any European country?

In breaking news, a Trump-appointed Federal Judge issued a late Sunday night emergency Preliminary Injunction continuing to block Trump's attempts to violate State Sovereignty and federalize and deploy state militia/national guard on the streets of Portland. Michael Popok explains that the Judge will be entering the final Permanent Injunction against The Trump Administration by Friday, but because Trump refused to give her the time to issue her final order, she was forced to enter an emergency preliminary injunction. Popok also explains how this case and its legal arguments may impact the United States Supreme Court's ultimate decision on whether Trump can send federalized troops into Blue States and Cities because he says so.

What if the most “boring” parts of Joshua are actually the brightest windows into God's heart? We walk through the land allotments and find more than borders and cities; we find a faithful God who keeps every promise and then invites us into something larger than maps can hold. The text says Israel received rest, yet Hebrews insists a greater rest still waits. That tension becomes the key: the quiet after battle foreshadows a Sabbath that begins with trust and culminates in the presence of Christ, where striving ends because His work is finished.We also reframe inheritance. Israel does not grab prizes; they receive a Father's gift—houses they did not build, vineyards they did not plant. Leviticus calls the land the Lord's, so the right word isn't conquest, it's inheritance. From Abraham's vantage point, the hope was always bigger: a city with foundations, designed and built by God. Joshua's geography, then, becomes a signpost to an imperishable kingdom kept for us, a future far more secure than any border stone and far more satisfying than a harvest we grew ourselves.Grace, surprisingly, is already alive in Joshua through the cities of refuge. There, guilt is admitted and protection is found under the high priest until his death settles the debt. The pattern prefigures Jesus, our High Priest, whose cross turns future sin into forgiven past. Along the way, we confront two modern hazards success brings: complacency that delays obedience and assumptions that fracture unity. Joshua presses us to step into what God has given, to labor in love while time remains, and to guard fellowship with clear words and quick reconciliation.Come hear how thirty-one fallen kings, a nation at rest, and a map full of city names reveal the gospel's shape: work now, rest forever; receive what you could never earn; run to the refuge that never closes.

Orchestrating the Nomad Century: Quotas, New Cities, and the Food Production Revolution. Gaia Vince encourages a proactive vision for managing massive climate-driven migration, involving facing expected heat, enlarging northern cities, and building entirely new ones. Vince provides an optimistic example of a managed migration where a farmer in Gujarat, India, applies for migration and is assigned to Aberdeen, Scotland. She suggests establishing a new United Nations agency with "real teeth" to organize migration among host and origin nations, allocating people via a quota system to specific jobs and areas. To mitigate hostility, migrants would commit to taking jobs in high-need industries for their first few years. A major challenge is food supply, requiring a complete overhaul of global food production, necessitating a shift toward a plant-based diet, as mass meat production is extremely inefficient. Alternative food sources like plant-based meats, insects, and vertical farming in cities are essential. Vince emphasizes the enormous potential for biodiversity restoration if damaged natural landscapes are left alone.

Barry and Abigail discuss Rockin' From the Grave and sample Pumpkin Shandy from Penn Brewery in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (in collaboration with Soergel Orchards in Wexford, Pennsylvania), Jack from Urban Artifact in Cincinnati, Ohio, and Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake Mind Over Matter from Magnify Brewing Company in Fairfield, New Jersey.We have gone zero episodes without mentioning the White Album or Abigail's personal White Album, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. Both Black Magic Woman and a cover of The Devil Went Down to Georgia by Steve Ouimette appear on GHIII: LoR, but Abigail was mistaken about (Don't Fear) The Reaper's inclusion; in fact, Cities on Flame with Rock and Roll is the Blue Öyster Cult representation on GHIII: LoR, and (Don't Fear) The Reaper is actually on Rock Band, which Abigail has played, but the Hummels have never owned.Listen to our exploration of The Munsters Theme's many different iterations in last year's Halloween episode, New Belgium Halloween (New Wave Halloween & New Belgium Brewing)! Today, we also listened to the version with lyrics and briefly discussed Far Out Munsters, the episode where the Munsters rent their home to a Beatles-inspired rock group.Edgar Winter's justification of naming his song Frankenstein because of its “monster-like, lumbering beat” reminded Abigail of Flight of the Cosmic Hippo by Béla Fleck and the Flecktones.Watch the music video for Addams Groove by MC Hammer.Barry educated Abigail about the famous “More Cowbell” sketch from SNL, which centers around the studio recording of (Don't Fear) The Reaper!In looking deeper into the fun fact from Carlo's Corner about salt killing yeast, we stumbled upon this article on the history and science of Goses written by the brewmaster of Anderson Valley Brewing Company in Boonville, California, a brewery known for their Goses. Per the article, some Goses from the early 20th century had between 130 and 280 ppm of salt. Anderson Valley typically adds about 800 ppm of salt - but only after fermentation. It is thought that as little as 100-150 ppm of salt can cause osmotic stress to the yeast and therefore decrease fermentation rates, but the salt concentration required to completely inhibit fermentation or cause death for the yeast are much higher than humans would tolerate as palatable in a beverage.Santana's Black Magic Woman is a mash-up cover of Black Magic Woman by Fleetwood Mac and Gypsy Queen by Gábor Szabó. Abigail would much rather listen to Smooth (feat. Rob Thomas).While Abigail believes Johnny clearly won the fiddle battle in The Devil Went Down to Georgia, John Oliver strongly disagrees. Watch the boss battle against the devil from GHIII: LoR.We previously discussed the word “pompatous” (found in Clap For the Wolfman by The Guess Who) during our discussion of Steve Miller Band's The Joker in our episode Cans (k.d.lang and Cigar City Brewing).Read more about Paracelsus and the absolutely nauseatingly eye-rollingly annoying reason he took the name Paracelsus.Barry made Abigail play a little bit of Grandmaster Dee's Haunted Scratch, the original B-side to Freaks Come Out at Night by Whodini.Twilight Zone by Golden Earring was inspired by The Bourne Identity novel, and you may be able to tell this from the music video. The other song from two-hit wonder Golden Earring you may have heard of would be Radar Love.(Ghost) Riders in the Sky is a cover originally written and performed by Stan Jones. Prior to The Outlaws' version, Johnny Cash's version was the most well-known.Up next… Brothers in Arms by Dire StraitsJingles are by our friend Pete Coe.Visit Anosmia Awareness for more information on Barry's condition.Follow Barry or Abigail on Untappd to see what we're drinking when we're not on mic!Leave us a rating or a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify!Facebook | Instagram | Bluesky | YouTube | Substack | Website | Email us | Virtual Jukebox | Beer Media Group

In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we explore why adaptation and resilience are taking center stage in climate conversations ahead of COP30, the UN's upcoming climate change conference.   We talk to Jeff Gitterman, CEO of Gitterman Asset Management and partner at Gitterman Wealth Management. He explains why adaptation was a big focus during Climate Week NYC in 2025, and where he sees future opportunities to invest in resilience and sustainable infrastructure.    "Every room I was in, everywhere I went around the city, there was a focus around adaptation and resilience like I've never seen before," Jeff tells us.  We also sit down with Alan Brookes, the Chairman and CEO of sustainable design, engineering and consulting firm Arcadis. He explains how the firm's projects worldwide build resilience to climate change while also accounting for the needs of communities and incorporating nature-based solutions — for example, building parks that also provide flood and storm protection.   "Cities need to be more innovative in their approaches," Alan says. "Otherwise, you're just going to build walls around every city, which is not what people want to see."   We conducted these interviews during Climate Week NYC at The Nest Climate Campus, where the All Things Sustainable podcast was an official media partner.   Read S&P Global's key takeaways from Climate Week NYC: 5 Climate Week NYC takeaways setting the scene for decision-making in 2026 | S&P Global  Listen to our interview with CDP CEO Sherry Madera: Water, water everywhere in Climate Week NYC conversations | S&P Global  Read a report from S&P Global Commodity Insights about what to expect from COP30: COP30: Climate governance at a crossroads | S&P Global  This piece was published by S&P Global Sustainable1 and not by S&P Global Ratings, which is a separately managed division of S&P Global.    Copyright ©2025 by S&P Global      DISCLAIMER     By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that S&P GLOBAL makes no warranty, guarantee, or representation as to the accuracy or sufficiency of the information featured in this Podcast.

In this episode of Lab Rats to Unicorns, John Flavin is joined by Chris Paladino, President of the New Brunswick Development Corporation (DEVCO)—a nonprofit real estate development organization that has played a central role in revitalizing New Brunswick, New Jersey. Under Chris's leadership since 1994, DEVCO has overseen more than $3.5 billion in projects spanning education, healthcare, housing, and innovation.

Throughout the conversation, he reflects on lessons learned from decades of civic development, the importance of “creative collisions” between academia and industry, and why long-term success depends on patience, partnerships, and purpose.
