    fWotD Episode 3209: Abraham Lincoln Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Monday, 16 February 2026, is Abraham Lincoln.Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865) was the 16th president of the United States, serving from 1861 until his assassination in 1865. He led the United States through the American Civil War, defeating the Confederate States and playing a major role in the abolition of slavery.Lincoln was born into poverty in Kentucky and raised on the frontier. He was self-educated and became a lawyer, Illinois state legislator, and U. S. representative. Angered by the Kansas–Nebraska Act of 1854, which opened the territories to slavery, he became a leader of the new Republican Party. He reached a national audience in the 1858 Senate campaign debates against Stephen A. Douglas. Lincoln won the 1860 presidential election, becoming the first Republican president. His victory prompted a majority of the slave states to begin to secede and form the Confederate States. A month after Lincoln assumed the presidency, Confederate forces attacked Fort Sumter, starting the Civil War.As a moderate Republican, Lincoln had to navigate conflicting political opinions from contentious factions during the war effort. Lincoln closely supervised the strategy and tactics in the war effort, including the selection of generals, and implemented a naval blockade of Southern ports. He suspended the writ of habeas corpus in April 1861, an action that Chief Justice Roger Taney found unconstitutional in Ex parte Merryman, and he averted war with Britain by defusing the Trent Affair. On January 1, 1863, he issued the Emancipation Proclamation, which declared the slaves in the states "in rebellion" to be free. On November 19, 1863, he delivered the Gettysburg Address, which became one of the most famous speeches in American history. He promoted the Thirteenth Amendment to the U. S. Constitution, which, in 1865, abolished chattel slavery. Re-elected in 1864, he sought to heal the war-torn nation through Reconstruction.On April 14, 1865, five days after the Confederate surrender at Appomattox, Lincoln was attending a play at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D. C., when he was fatally shot by stage actor John Wilkes Booth, a Confederate sympathizer. Lincoln is remembered as a martyr and a national hero for his wartime leadership and for his efforts to preserve the Union and abolish slavery. He is often ranked in both popular and scholarly polls as the greatest president in American history.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:11 UTC on Monday, 16 February 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Abraham Lincoln on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Justin.

    For 2 decades, a CIA project ran secret mind control experiments on unsuspecting Americans. Many believe their quest for human behavior modification never truly ended — it only changed its name and went underground. Project MKUltra, active from 1953 to 1973, utilized LSD, electroshock therapy, hypnosis, and total isolation in tests tied to more than 80 institutions. While the program was officially designed to counter Soviet brainwashing, it resulted in the testing of dangerous tactics on prisoners, soldiers, and civilians—often without their knowledge or consent. But we may never know the true depravity of its medical abuses: before the program was exposed, CIA Director Richard Helms ordered the destruction of most records from MKUltra.

    When Jesus Calls, Do We Drop Everything And Follow Him?

    What happens when the call to follow collides with the comfort of staying put? We open Scripture to let Mark 1, Psalm 35, Proverbs 9, and Titus 2 shape a candid look at wisdom, justice, marriage, and the raw cost of discipleship—and we don't dodge the hard parts. From John the Baptist's desert cry to Jesus' unmistakable authority over evil, the gospel's summons is immediate and inconvenient, yet life-giving for anyone willing to drop their nets.We walk through the rapid movement of Mark's opening: preparation in the wilderness, baptism in the Jordan, temptation in the wild, and a series of invitations that turn fishermen into followers. Along the way, we ask the question beneath every choice: when Christ calls, do we answer without delay? Psalm 35 gives language for days when doing right draws fire, teaching us to seek God's protection without losing heart. Proverbs 9 draws a straight line between choosing wisdom and the quality of our days, warning that contempt for wisdom circles back as suffering. Titus 2 brings it home with concrete guidance for men, women, and teachers, showing how self-control, integrity, and kindness can stabilize marriages and communities in a restless age.We also zoom out to history and civic life, reflecting on moments of terror and acts of quiet valor to consider why moral authority matters in public order. Faithful teaching, disciplined homes, and courageous citizens do more than soothe the conscience—they anchor a free people. The thread through it all is simple and demanding: surrender to Christ's authority, practice wisdom in ordinary routines, and hold fast to a justice that may arrive slowly but never fails.

    Doug Stuart interviews Caleb Franz, author of The Conductor: The Story of Reverend John Rankin, Abolitionism's Essential Founding Father. Franz shares the fascinating story of how he discovered and researched this largely forgotten figure from his hometown of Ironton, Ohio. The conversation explores Rankin's pivotal role in the abolition movement, particularly in the Ohio River Valley—a region often overlooked in abolitionist history that typically centers on New England.Franz discusses Rankin's theological arguments against slavery, his work on the Underground Railroad helping thousands of enslaved people escape to freedom, and his profound influence on key historical figures including Harriet Beecher Stowe (whose "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was inspired by Rankin's letters) and Ulysses S. Grant (who studied under Rankin before attending West Point). The episode delves into the research process behind writing historical biography, the intersection of faith and liberty in the abolition movement, and how Rankin's Christian convictions drove his radical opposition to slavery from the 1820s through the Civil War era.Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com Use code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!Full Podsworth Ad Read BEFORE & AFTER processing:https://youtu.be/vbsOEODpQGs  ★ Support this podcast ★

    Michael welcomes back Dr. Michael Lennox, a world-renowned astrologer and dream expert, to break down the celestial "trigger point" that is reshaping our reality. Having predicted the chaos of 2020 and the intensity of 2025, Dr. Lennox returns with his most urgent warning yet: the "Great Fracturing" has officially begun. They dive into the astrological "shot heard round the world", the rare meeting of Saturn and Neptune in Aries, and what it means for the shifting ground beneath our feet. From the literal face-offs in Minnesota to the internal "civil war" of the heart, this conversation is a masterclass in maintaining sanity as the old world's manhole covers pop off, revealing the shadows beneath. Key Topics: The February 2026 Solar Eclipse: Why this "unstable" eclipse is a monumental new cycle starting on top of the U.S. unconscious. Saturn and Neptune in Aries: The significance of the "Lord of Karma" and the "Planet of Inspiration" meeting at the 0° initiatory point of the zodiac. The "Extinction Graph": Why old systems double down on power right before they collapse, and how this signals a reinvented future. America's "Basement": How the Pluto Return is putting a clear light into the hidden shadow of violence and division so it can finally be healed. The Shadow of Narcissism: Moving away from over-inflated self-focus toward the Aquarian era of collective service. Valuable Nightmares: Why violent or disturbing dreams are actually a "gift" for the psyche during times of massive landscape alteration. Radical Self-Forgiveness: Why forgiving yourself is the ultimate act of sovereignty and the only way to stop the war within. This is your spiritual roadmap for the coming "fire." If you've been feeling the acceleration and wondering when it will stop, let Dr. Lennox show you how to find your voice, your center, and your courage in the midst of the bloom.

    Share a commentWhat if the front lines of God's kingdom run straight through your front yard? We explore the unsettling and beautiful truth that every believer is an ambassador for a conquering King who offers peace to people at war with God—and that this calling rarely respects our comfort zones.We start with a vivid image from American history: Wilmer McLean's attempt to avoid conflict, only to see the Civil War begin at his farm and conclude in his parlor. That story becomes a lens for 2 Corinthians 5:17–20, where Paul names our role and our message—reconciliation. God makes us new, then hands us the word of reconciliation: a peace treaty drafted on a blood-soaked cross, where trespasses are no longer counted. Ambassadors don't invent policy; we carry the terms of surrender and invite people to lay down their arms before a merciful, victorious Lord.To sharpen that calling, we look at ambassadors through Paul's world, not ours. Roman envoys set borders, delivered constitutions, and integrated conquered peoples into a larger kingdom. They lived among strangers, learned their ways, and commended their homeland with clarity and courage. That's our pattern too. The gospel must be truthful, accessible, and embodied where we live and work.The message comes to life in the story of five missionaries who reached out to the Waorani of Ecuador. Their careful approach, their choice not to retaliate, and their martyrdom sparked a movement of repentance, translation, and church planting led by the very people who once killed them. Elizabeth Elliot and Rachel Saint modeled a long obedience that turned enemies into family, giving us a living picture of reconciliation's power. The takeaway is plain and piercing: our comfort, privacy, and agendas are not our own.

    Magic and Medicines is BACK - just like the ooky-spooky ghosts summoned up by believers in this episode's topic - Spiritualism!As we discuss, philosophically speaking 'Spiritualism' is a big old tradition, involving any belief system rooted in concepts of souls, spirits, or supernatural forces. In the 19th century however, during the Second Great Awakening in upstate New York, Spiritualist ideas from a range of Revivalist traditions combined to make something new.Exploding in popularity following America's Civil War, then booming again in Britain after the Great War, new generations of 'Mediums' had come forth, channeling ghosts and cosmic forces in ways that would have been recognisable in Prophets, Holy Maids and Cunning Folk from the Ancient, Medieval and Renaissance eras.Which is to say, Necromancy was back after a rebrand - and so were its enemies, in the forms of debunkers, prosecutors, and many a Society of Psychical Research.From rapping tables to sudden splurges of ectoplasm, Spiritualist manifestos to Harry Houdini hunting severed hands hidden in delicate places, this one has it all.So, turn off the lights, light some candles, and let's all hold hands...Is there anybody there?!Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?REGISTER FOR THE TALES OF SOUTHERN ENGLAND TOURProud members of the Dark Cast Network.Visit our website Join our Patreon Social media channels and sponsors Hosted on Acast.

    In Episode 183 of Reckoning with Jason Herbert, historian Heather Cox Richardson joins the show for a lively and surprisingly sharp conversation about the film Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter—and what it reveals about American mythmaking.What happens when we place a fantastical, axe-wielding Abraham Lincoln alongside the real political crises of the 1860s—and our own? We explore the Civil War, Reconstruction, the endurance of the “Lost Cause,” and the power of storytelling in shaping national memory. Along the way, we ask whether some myths refuse to die… and whether that might be the point.Smart, funny, and unexpectedly timely, this episode blends pop culture with serious history—reminding us that the stories we tell about the past often say more about the present than we realize.

    Welcome to another exciting episode of The Bourbon Road! This week, hosts Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter hit the road, navigating a snowy and icy Kentucky winter to visit the historic Sugarbush Farm in Perryville, Kentucky. They are joined by special guests Lizzie and Aaron Haynes, the passionate founders of Peter E. Hart Spirits. The episode delves deep into the rich history of the farm and its namesake, Sergeant Peter E. Hart. Lizzie shares the incredible story of her great-great-great-grandfather, a Union cavalry sergeant who rode with the 13th Union Cavalry—known as "The Dreaded 13". Sgt. Hart survived the bloody Battle of Perryville in October 1862 and later returned to purchase the very land where Lizzie and Aaron now live and operate their business. We explore how the couple drew inspiration from this family legacy and granddaddy's porch-side cigar sessions to launch their own whiskey brand. Aaron, a chemical engineer trained through the University of Kentucky's distillation program, brings his technical expertise to the crafting and blending process, ensuring every bottle honors traditional Kentucky methods. The couple discusses the challenges and triumphs of launching their brand as a non-distilling producer (NDP) in 2020, and their exciting future plans to build a 500-gallon still and a tasting room directly on their historic family property. In this episode, the tasting mat features three exceptional expressions crafted by Aaron and Lizzie. The hosts break down the flavor profiles of each: Peter E. Hart Kentucky Rye Whiskey: This rye whiskey is finished in a freshly poured bourbon barrel that was smoked for eight hours with burning staves. Bottled at 100 proof, this expression features a unique sweet smoke profile that tones down the traditional rye spice. The brand blends rye whiskeys that are no younger than three years. The hosts note a chalky Necco candy aroma alongside a light, elegant fruitiness on the palate. Peter E. Hart Wheated Kentucky Straight Bourbon (Single Barrel): This limited-edition bourbon originally came out of the barrel at a 130 cask strength before being expertly proofed down to 112 to find the perfect flavor balance. It features a highly unique mash bill using honeyed wheat and honeyed malted barley. The hosts rave about its rich mahogany color, deep caramel notes, and a satisfying butter pecan finish. Peter E. Hart Double Oaked 8-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon: Sourced from Jim Beam, this 105-proof bourbon is double oaked for three months in a Level 4 char ISC barrel without toasting. Its mash bill consists of 67% corn, 23% rye, and 10% malted barley. The secondary maturation creates an elegant, robust pour with intense notes of stewed plums, leather, dried black cherries, and a cinnamon hard candy finish. Listen in as Jim and Todd savor these incredible pours, discuss the balancing act of running a growing family business, and learn how Peter E. Hart Spirits is blending rich Civil War history with top-tier Kentucky whiskey. Be sure to check out our private Facebook group, "The Bourbon Roadies" for a great group of bourbon loving people.

    In this episode of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era Podcast, Boyd Cothran talks with historian Patrick O'Connor about his new book, The Political Reconstruction of American Tobacco, 1862–1933.Rather than treating tobacco primarily as a moral problem or a corporate success story, O'Connor approaches it as a window onto the making of the modern American state. Beginning with Civil War–era taxation and moving through the Gilded Age and Progressive Era, the conversation traces how tobacco became deeply embedded in federal governance—through revenue collection, market regulation, inspection and classification regimes, agricultural science, and expert bureaucracy.Along the way, we discuss how taxation helped create national markets, how “quality” and knowledge functioned as forms of power, how growers were disciplined through debt and market institutions, and how Progressive Era expertise reshaped both agriculture and state capacity. The episode also reflects on why tobacco proved so difficult to regulate or dismantle in the early twentieth century—and what this history can tell us about the long-standing challenges of governing harmful but profitable commodities.

    Once hailed as a beacon of democratic reform in Southeast Asia, Myanmar has devolved into a fractured state defined by a brutal, multi-front civil war following the 2021 military coup. The Junta clings to power in the central cities through terror and forced conscription, while a patchwork of resistance forces controls the periphery but struggles with donor fatigue and ammunition shortages. Yet, following the shockwaves of Operation 1027 and the rise of a narcotics-and-scam-fueled war economy, the conflict has shifted. China, the region's hesitant kingmaker, is now applying direct pressure on both sides to secure its strategic access to the Indian Ocean. With the country effectively split and neither side possessing the strength to deliver a knockout blow, the question remains: is Myanmar destined to fracture like Yugoslavia, or can a unified state still emerge from the ashes? Our panel of experts examines the stalled frontlines, Beijing's evolving strategy, and the grim reality of who, if anyone, can actually govern the nation in 2026.

    Buying a Bride: An Engaging History of Mail-Order Matches / L.A. Secret Police. Inside the LAPD Elite Spy NetworkThere have always been mail-order brides in America—but we haven't always thought about them in the same ways. In Buying a Bride, Marcia A. Zug starts with the so-called “Tobacco Wives” of the Jamestown colony and moves all the way forward to today's modern same-sex mail-order grooms to explore the advantages and disadvantages of mail-order marriage. It's a history of deception, physical abuse, and failed unions. It's also the story of how mail-order marriage can offer women surprising and empowering opportunities.Drawing on a forgotten trove of colorful mail-order marriage court cases, Zug explores the many troubling legal issues that arise in mail-order marriage: domestic abuse and murder, breach of contract, fraud (especially relating to immigration), and human trafficking and prostitution. She tells the story of how mail-order marriage lost the benign reputation it enjoyed in the Civil War era to become more and more reviled over time, and she argues compellingly that it does not entirely deserve its current reputation. While it is a common misperception that women turn to mail-order marriage as a desperate last resort, most mail-order brides are enticed rather than coerced. Since the first mail-order brides arrived on American shores in 1619, mail-order marriage has enabled women to improve both their marital prospects and their legal, political, and social freedoms. Buying A Bride uncovers this history and shows us how mail-order marriage empowers women and should be protected and even encouraged. L.A. Secret Police. Inside the LAPD Elite Spy NetworkL.A. Secret Police. Inside the LAPD Elite Spy Network is a New York Times and Los Angeles Times Bestseller. This incredible non-fiction book rips the lid off the LAPD and exposes the reader to its dark underbelly of corruption during the reign of Chief Daryl Gates. L.A. cops ruined lives and reputations, inflicted mindless brutality, committed murder and engaged in massive cover-ups. In Los Angeles, police corruption was much more than unmarked envelopes stuffed with cash. It was a total corruption of power. For decades LAPD engaged in massive illegal spying and lied about it. Its spying targets included politicians, movie stars, professional athletes, news reporters and anyone wielding power or those of interest to Daryl Gates. Incredibly, the spying targets included a Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, a Secretary of Defense, a current Governor and the President of the United States. It all happened in Los Angeles.Detective Rothmiller is the modern-day Frank Serpico; he exposed the tentacles of corruption which reached to the highest levels within the LAPD and Washington D.C. It wasn't long after that an assassin attempted to take his life. It was apparent to many that powerful forces wanted him silenced. Incredibly, in this book Detective Rothmiller names names! See why this book changed the LAPD and is required reading at many universities. As former Assistant United States Attorney Marvin Rudnick said, “Rothmiller was in a position to know. He did very sensitive work.”Every book has an ending. However, the ending of this book will shock you. Within the new epilogue is a multi-page essay written especially for this updated book by Pulitzer Prize winning journalist David Cay Johnston. In it he describes his personal experience as a target of Daryl Gates illegal intelligence operations while he served as a Los Angeles Times reporter. You'll also read the challenge posed by detective Rothmiller to the LAPD. A challenge LAPD has refused to answer.Since releasing this updated eBook, Detective Rothmiller has been interviewed dozens of times by the national media regarding current NSA domestic spying and the 2013 murderous rampage of former LAPD cop Christopher Dorner. In late 2013 Detective Rothmiller was interviewed for a major television documentary which will expose corruption and major crimes committed at the highest levels. The documentary is scheduled for release in 2016.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

    Last episode, we talked about the brewing conflict between what currently passes for mainstream conservatism and the schizophrenic reactionary Groyper politics of Nick Fuentes. Subscribe on Patreon to support making this show, get premium only episodes, and listen to our entire back catalog. patreon.com/wetwired We wrapped things up with the idea that conservatism has never really bothered to conserve anything. Aside from a few exceptions, most of the time they keep themselves busy fighting culture wars about immigration, civil rights, women's rights, Christianity, and demonizing organized labor. What they keep trying to “conserve” is whatever the status quo power dynamic was when their grandad was a kid.  After the Civil War, they wanted slavery back. Women's suffrage, desegregation—they wanted to get rid of all those things. This isn't the first fight inside conservatism. As part of its periodic reinvention of itself, conservatives have gone back to the political well and dredged up the same slogans more than once. We tied this malleable idea of conservatism in with the evolution of the field of unashamed ideological political economists into what we now think of as the pseudoscience of Economics. At least the political economists were up front about whatever ideological bent they had. If you were a socialist, you'd start with your convictions about socialism being the absolute best way of running society on offer, and they work to come up with an economic theory or plan that made it seem possible. It was honest. By the time the 1800s were wrapping up, that wasn't good enough. Economists wanted to be taken more seriously, so they started dressing the whole thing up like they were doing physics or pure math. They could talk about whatever economic system as if they were describing the laws of nature. That didn't get rid of the ideology, though. It just buried it under metric tons of academic jargon and complicated formulas. After all, what's the difference between modeling a tsunami and a stock market crash? The answer is that the tsunami wasn't caused by Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan. That all brings us around to FDR's New Deal and the era of John Maynard Keynes and what Matt Christman has called his "Keynesian machine for dispensing treats". As many contradictions as Keynes gathered into his economic model, it remains the only proven way to maintain capitalism. To set the tone, David Talbot has a quote in his book The Devil's Chessboard about Bertie Pell, a friend of FDR's who Talbot described as a “full-on traitor to his class”. “I am almost the last capitalist who is willing to be saved by you,” Pell wrote Roosevelt in 1936 in a letter beseeching the president to draft him for the New Deal cause. The following year, Pell wrote again, praising FDR's accomplishments: “Your administration has made possible the continuance of American institutions for at least fifty years. You have done for the government what St. Francis did for the Catholic Church. You have brought it back to the people.” It turns out Pell was eerily correct. Those institutions managed to last just a little longer than 50 years. They are about gone now, though. Our long promised merch is here!!

She provides an analysis of their headstones, including the epitaphs and the early 20th-century Christian symbolism, and discusses a treasured family photo of Nancy with her grandchildren, Ettie Belle and Bert Harris. Diana then recounts her visit to the Love County Historical Society Pioneer Museum. She highlights how local museums provide essential context, noting the replicas of ferries—like Tuck's Ferry—that the Frazier family would have used to cross the Red River. Diana shares her experience meeting the curator, Laquitta, and discovering an obituary for one of Nancy's sons, Colon Frazier.

    In this episode of Your History Your Story, we are very happy to welcome back a truly distinguished guest: Pulitzer Prize winning author, renowned historian and the George Henry Davis 1886 Professor of American History, Emeritus at Princeton University, James M. McPherson.Jim previously joined us to discuss the military, political and international significance of the Battle of Antietam, the bloodiest single day in American history. Today, he returns to take us even deeper into the human experience of the Civil War, drawing from his landmark 1997 book, “For Cause and Comrades: Why Men Fought in the Civil War”.In this episode, Jim explores the powerful and often deeply personal motivations that compelled both Union and Confederate soldiers to continue fighting, even in the face of death, devastating wounds and unimaginable hardship. Drawing from numerous letters and diaries of Civil War soldiers, he helps us understand not just how the war was fought, but why it was endured.Music: "With Loved Ones" Jay Man Photo(s): Courtesy of YHYS and James McPherson Thank you for supporting Your History Your Story!YHYS Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CLICK HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YHYS PayPal: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CLICK HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YHYS: Stay in the know, join our mailing list: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CLICK HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YHYS: Website, Blog & Social: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CLICK HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠#yhys #yourhistoryyourstory #history #storytelling #podcast #njpodcast #youhaveastorytoo #jamesgardner #historian #storyteller #blogger To purchase For Cause and Comrades: CLICK HERE

    Gutey finally stepped to the podium — and he's furious. Tonight's After Dark crew breaks down every signal from the GM's press conference, from his refusal to blame injuries for the five-game collapse to his thinly veiled frustration with the coaching staff. Mike Hebring leads the charge, arguing that the real takeaway isn't about corners or special teams — it's that the organization knows something went seriously wrong, and hard conversations have already happened behind closed doors. The callers keep the energy rolling. Ben from Minnesota pitches Iowa's Kaden Wetjen as the ultimate return specialist, and the PFF numbers back it up — 26.8 yards per punt return with three touchdowns and zero muffs. Jared asks about signing Rasheed Shaheed in free agency to finally fix the return game. Bill from South Carolina drops a Civil War analogy comparing LaFleur to McClellan. Nico debuts a poem about beefy linemen and Lombardi's law. Aaron brings back the ukulele with a coaching staff anthem fueled by a couple cold ones. And Beer Cheese voices what every fan is feeling — how can the front office not know the problem when we can see it from our couches? Ryan closes with an honest ultimatum to the organization: if you won't give us transparency, fine — but then you better deliver results. This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

    A Times story reporting that college students in a writing course do better when they go offline for a month makes perfect sense to me, same as if you say a writer does better at a laptop in the public library than shnockered on a sailboat in a storm, but the idea of persuading students to go offline strikes me as quixotic, like Amish evangelism or banning the use of chairs. The internet is here and we're all caught up in it.l was in my 50s when the World Wide Web came in. Its advent was not a big event to me; I was still working on a manual Underwood typewriter. I have a clearer memory of seeing Albert Woolson, the last living Civil War veteran, in a parade in downtown Minneapolis. I remember my uncle Jim farming with horses and Fibber McGee and Molly on the radio. And I remember boredom, which has mostly disappeared in America except perhaps among lighthouse keepers or attendants in parking ramps or felons in solitary confinement. And maybe imprisonment offline would be considered cruel and inhumane in a court of law.Growing up pre-Google in a small Midwestern town among taciturn people, I experienced boredom intensely and it led to reading and in due course to writing. I took up haiku:Three blackbirds shriekingAs my old black cat calmlySquats in the sandpile.This was enough to amuse me back then. And because I could write a 17-syllable haiku and had good handwriting and spoke in complete sentences, I was considered gifted.I considered becoming a poet but I wanted to earn money and not live up over my parents' garage so I went into public radio where, thank goodness, the audience was made up of reference librarians, caregivers, birdwatchers, organic gardeners, people who were spiritual but not religious, people who enjoyed the enigmatic more than actual entertainment. I shouldn't brag but I can be more enigmatic than anyone I know.I got a reputation as an artistic storyteller, which, believe me, there is no such thing — storytelling is not an art, it's a craft, like plumbing, and either the water comes out of the tap or it doesn't. But back in the Boring Eighties, enigma was more appreciated. And now, there's the smartphone offering endless entertainment, videos, YouTube, GPS telling you exactly where on Earth you are and how far to the nearest comedy club, yoga studio, liquor store and not just any old liquor store but one that offers designer beer with floral notes of marigolds sprinkled with saffron playing off earthy vanilla with rustic bitterness in the finish. We didn't have that back in my time, just cold beer.I try to explain this to young people, the fact that we didn't have soft butter then, butter aerated to make it spreadable, just little hard bricks of butter that when you tried to spread it on toast, you tore the toast apart, or else you scraped shavings of butter off and by the time the toast was buttered it was cold.Back in the day, before “google” became a verb, we had to memorize information, it wasn't readily available, such as verb tenses or state capitals or the nine planets — My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas — Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune Pluto — and a boy named Ralph Krause liked to ask Mr. Jensen our science teacher, How big is Uranus? Is there life on Uranus? It was a high point of science class, in which high points were few and far between.I grew up under the heavy burden of Boy Scouts, which I believe has mostly disappeared, done in by social media. We had cruel Scoutmasters who took us winter camping in the North Woods, believing adversity stimulates intelligence. I'm not so sure. I associate intelligence with staying warm.I look at politics, the regressive MAGA right (working hard to horrify the genteel left), which has elected nihilists in golf pants who exercise their whimsical powers to serve 3% of the people 75% of the time, and it's easy to despair but if you go offline and wander through crowds of Christmas shoppers, you sense the spirit of kindness and gaiety of our people.Old men dozing off at the switch need to be shoveled into the Home for the Hopeless and let the young and conscientious come in to repair the damage. I hope it happens in my lifetime. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit garrisonkeillor.substack.com/subscribe
