For many of us who grew up in the the 90s, Julia Stiles was an integral part of our coming of age. Her portrayal of the clever, acerbic Kat in 10 Things I Hate About You was a radical reinvention of the blonde teenage female rom-com lead. Her roles in Save The Last Dance and Mona Lisa Smile spoke to our adolescent feminist awakenings and catapulted Stiles to stardom. And, just like the heroines she played, Stiles chose to do things a bit differently. At the height of her teenage fame, she went to study English at Columbia University, continuing to act throughout her degree, most notably in the first of four Jason Bourne films. Her latest project is her directorial debut - the feature film, Wish You Were Here, which Stiles also produced and co-wrote. As a mother of three, Stiles said that her parenting informed her ability to direct.

It's Newsday Tuesday™ and Trump is on Capitol Hill trying to push his Big Beautiful Bill today. Sam and Emma will dig into what's in it and why. Suffice to say, when the dust settles, poor and working class people are sure to get the short end of the stick. Also, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem apparently has no idea what Habeas Corpus is, how it works or how it's invoked. In the Fun Half, we bask in the glow of Columbia University's president getting boo'ed and heckled during a graduation ceremony. John Stewart points out how Jake Tapper sat on some really important information about Joe Biden's mental acuity and the workings of his administration in order to sell it after the fact as a book. And finally, Sam has some more thoughts on Ezra Klein and the Abundance Agenda.

We often associate energy poverty with developing nations, but the reality is that tens of millions of Americans struggle to pay their monthly energy bills. Oftentimes, they forgo heating or cooling their homes in order to pay rent or buy food. And ultimately, they risk losing access to energy altogether, through utility shutoffs. For families living in inadequate housing with poor insulation and inefficient appliances, energy insecurity impacts health, comfort, and quality of life. For some, government assistance programs are a lifeline. Yet, despite rising energy rates, the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) is in danger of losing funding.  So what policy solutions could address the systemic causes of energy insecurity? How can government assistance be reframed to better support and empower energy insecure households? And will the transition to clean energy alleviate or worsen energy insecurity? This week, Jason Bordoff speaks with Diana Hernández about her recent book that seeks to answer those questions and proposes a framework for energy equity. Diana is an associate professor at Columbia University and co-directs the Energy Opportunity Lab at the Center on Global Energy Policy. Her book, "Powerless: The People's Struggle for Energy," which she co-authored with Jennifer Laird, an assistant professor at Lehman College, was released in April. Credits: Hosted by Jason Bordoff and Bill Loveless. Produced by Mary Catherine O'Connor, Caroline Pitman, and Kyu Lee. Engineering by Sean Marquand. Stephen Lacey is executive producer.

Through our physician-led initiatives and targeted advocacy, we push for accessible, affordable, and equitable health care. Our programs reflect our commitment to advancing policies that put patients first and safeguard the health and freedom of every family. Nearly 25 years as an emergency medicine physician has provided Dr. Rob Davidson with a wealth of knowledge in practicing health care. Two years ago, however, he decided that he needed more. He began pursuing a Master of Public Health degree in the online Population and Health Sciences program at the University of Michigan School of Public Health.  “I've always been right at that point of health care where you meet people at significant moments in their life,” said Davidson, a West Michigan-based physician. “The ER seems far removed from the goals of population health and public health, but you come to realize just how much people's wider world has an impact on what brought them to the ER at that point in time.”  Davidson pondered earning his master's degree for a while, having seen colleagues who earned their MPH go on to impact local health outcomes. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, he knew that pursuing an MPH was the right next step.   Michael A. Cohen has been a columnist for the Boston Globe on national politics and foreign affairs since 2014.

Judith Joseph: High Functioning Judith Joseph is a Columbia-trained psychiatrist and the founder of and chief investigator at Manhattan Behavioral Medicine, New York City's premier clinical research site. She's also a clinical assistant professor in child and adolescent psychiatry at NYU Langone Medical Center in Manhattan, and chairwoman of the Women in Medicine Board at Columbia University's Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons. She is the author of High Functioning: Overcome Your Hidden Depression and Reclaim Your Joy*. When we think about successful leaders, we often admire those who are loving towards others, can tolerate painful times, and know how to delay gratification. Those are all such important traits – and when we overindex on them, can become counter-productive. In this conversation, (Judith and I explore) when it's no longer working and how to find the joy again. Key Points Many people who are experiencing high-functioning depression don't realize it. High-functioning depression is often triggering by trauma. That can can be major trauma, but it can also be more common forms of trauma like divorce, workplace conflict, legal issues, and many more. Anhedonia is one of the most common ways high-functioning depression reveals itself. It looks like not seeking out joyful activities and also not experiencing joy in activities that used to bring joy. Masochism is the other common way high-functioning depression shows up. It manifests as a pattern of self-defeating, people-pleasing behavior. The “superpowers” that come with high-functioning depression are viewed by others and society as strengths. However, over-indexing on being loving, tolerating pain, and delayed gratification are counter-productive over time. Validation is a starting point for healing. Each person is unique and sometimes it's helpful to begin with movies or other creative works that help you recognize yourself.

Story of the Week (DR):UnitedHealth Group CEO Andrew Witty steps down for 'personal reasons' MM DRUnitedHealth Under Investigation: UnitedHealth Group is facing a criminal probe by the U.S. Department of Justice for potential Medicare fraud related to its Medicare Advantage program. The company is also dealing with a civil fraud investigation and has suspended its 2025 financial forecast amid rising medical costs. CEO Andrew Witty resigned unexpectedly this week.Steve will receive a golden hello again consisting of a one-time $60M option award. While the company claims there will be no additional annual equity awards during the first three years of Steve's employment, there are no performance hurdles tied to this award meaning Steve could make a boatload of cash even if the stock market goes up independent of his work as CEO.A Kohl's board member resigned because she was 'continually disappointed' by governance and a lack of transparency MM DRKohl's Director and Compensation Committee Chair Christine Day resigned from the board on May 5, 2025.Kohl's initially claimed: “Ms. Day's decision [to resign] was not due to any disagreements with the Company on any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies or practices.”Day later sent an email (included in SEC filing) saying:I want to stress my concern that this is an inappropriate way to handle this. All shareholders deserve the same access to the same information. [ . . .] and for us to not respond to ISS is not good governance. In the 8K filing, for my departure, it would not be accurate to say I have no disagreements with the board. Unfortunately I have been continually disappointed with the level of governance process. The 8k needs to reflect this.”In another email she called out Board Chair Michael Bender: “There is no delegation to committees or chairs, Michael “handles” everything, maybe speaks to one person or 2, then “tells” everyone what the decision is. Some people know more than others leading to board members feeling alienated, out of the loop, and worse—developing a culture where real discussions rarely occur.”In a meeting held yesterday (may 14), only 5% of Kohls shareholders said NO to Board Chair Michael Bender while 45% said NO on Pay while average director support was 92% YESJohn Tyson joins Tyson Foods Inc. board, 9 months after criminal charges led him to step down as CFO MM DRDespite being part of the controlling family, The Tyson children will be paid $315,000 annually like all other non-employee directors.FedEx board member David Steiner to lead US Postal ServiceLD since 2009; CEO Waste Management; $15M in sharesGoodliest of the Week (MM/DR):DR: Boulder's landmark lawsuit against Suncor, Exxon can proceed, Colorado Supreme Court rulesMM: NLPC Urges Exxon Mobil Shareholders To Vote Against Election Of CEO Darren Woods For Board On Exxon Mobil's 2025 Proxy Ballot DR MMThey are running a vote no campaign on Darren Woods… for being too woke!

By embracing smart, innovation-focused regulation like SB 29, Texas is showing the world what it means to lead on economic growth and modern, clear governance principles,” said Ed Knight, Executive Vice Chairman of Nasdaq. “We commend Senator Bryan Hughes, Representative Morgan Meyer, and Governor Greg Abbott for advancing legislation that strengthens Texas' position as a global center for capital formation.”The major features include a Musk “board independence” rule that allows an evidentiary hearing by a court to say a committee overseeing a transaction is “independent”, then they can exclude any lawsuits or challenges to the committee findings/approval - say, on something like a massive pay package - without the ability of a shareholder to get recourseThey also can refuse books and records if they THINK you might sue them, and they only allow derivative lawsuits for groups with 3% or more of the sharesEd Knight biography: A Texas native, Knight received his Bachelor of Arts, with honors, in Latin American Studies from the University of Texas at Austin and his Juris Doctorate from the University of Texas School of Law.Stewardship teamsHarley-Davidson Leaders Survive Proxy FightThe company didn't reveal the preliminary vote total during its shareholder meeting. About 48% of shares voted withheld support from Zeitz, while about 40% withheld support from directors Thomas Linebarger and Sara Levinson, two people familiar with the tally said.Harley's bylaws require directors to resign if more than 50% of shares voted withhold support.Seriously investors? Seriously? Levinson has been a director since Clinton's FIRST TERM - AND SHE HAS A CHECKMARK FOR INDEPENDENT. 30 years isn't too much for you investors? 30? For an ex NFL and MTV executive at a company that makes motorcycles? If you're anti-woke, isn't this an easy vote out?? Not even for her woman-ness, but for the fact that she has literally nothing to do with making motorcycles? She started a women-focused dot com media company called “Club Mom”!If Blackrock and Vanguard voted to support Harley directors, they truly do not care - and ISS's fuckwit half-assed non-assessment is what's driving investors to do-nothingness.

Dr. Jennifer Mootz is Assistant Professor of Clinical Medical Psychology at Columbia University and Research Scientist with the Research Foundation for Mental Hygiene at the New York State Psychiatric Institute. Dr. Palmira Fortunado dos Santos is the Mental Health, Trauma and Violence Program Coordinator with the National Institute of Health in Mozambique. We discussed how Drs. Mootz and Furtunado de los Santos met via the UN in New York (pride project 2016) which is how they began their collaboration. They provide some guidance on intimate partner violence (IPV), and the limitations of interventions for IPV that focus on one partner, which is generally the man.The discussion also involved masculinities as well as marital relationship and family dynamics in several regions in Mozambique. While Interpersonal Therapy-Couples (IPT-C) is an established treatment for couples experiencing relationship problems, the research team learned a great deal about how to implement IPT-C in the context of families and social structures of Mozambique. Finally, Drs. Fortunado dos Santos and Mootz shared how what they learned impacted their understanding of engaging men in their work in Mozambique.   D75

May 16, 2025 - Join us for a discussion with Dr. Joan E. Cho, Associate Professor of East Asian Studies at Wesleyan University on her 2024 book Seeds of Mobilization: The Authoritarian Roots of South Korea's Democracy, which explores the nonlinear nature of South Korea's democratization. Using oral interviews, original protest datasets, and publications by student and labor activists, Cho illustrates how modernization structures such as industrial complexes and tertiary education initially bolstered authoritarian regimes before facilitating protests by various social movement groups, which ultimately succeeded in ushering in the country's democratization. During the discussion, Cho also describes how this historical legacy continues to impact Korean politics, including the generational divide and the recent Martial Law and impeachment episodes. This program is moderated by Korea Society policy director Jonathan Corrado.  This program is made possible by the generous support of our individual and corporate members and the Korea Foundation. This program is co-hosted by The Center for Korean Research at the Weatherhead East Asian Institute at Columbia University.

It's a vital part of life. It saves us from getting hit by cars, it helps us focus on – solving problems. But when stress becomes a way of life instead of a part of life, – that's when we see more of the problems.” — Jordan Friedman [0:20:13] “Yes, meditating can help you feel calmer. It can take the edge off [your] stress and anxiety, but if that stress and anxiety continues to flow into your life – you might get into a situation where meditation isn't enough.” — Jordan Friedman [0:26:52] “Something we get wrong – is that we're putting band aids on things that need more attention than a band aid.” — Jordan Friedman [0:27:25] “We have great control over our fight or flight responses; maybe not initially when we're first slammed with the stressor, but pretty soon after, the way we think about things [and] what we do can help us get back on our feet and move in a clearer, more confident, less stressed way.” — Jordan Friedman [0:34:37] “It's not only about changing your life situations to stop the fire hydrant of stress. It's also doing things to – keep your roots solid; breathing, sleeping, exercise, all of it.” — Jordan Friedman [0:38:34] “Reliable, predictable things in your life, [like] going to bed and waking up at the same time each day, – will help counter a lot of the lack of predictability that causes so much stress in the world.” — Jordan Friedman [0:44:09]   Watch our Finding Brave episodes on YouTube!

In Struggles for the Human: Violent Legality and the Politics of Rights (Duke University Press 2024), Lara Montesinos Coleman blends ethnography, political philosophy, and critical theory to reorient debates on human rights through attention to understandings of legality, ethics, and humanity in anticapitalist and decolonial struggle. Drawing on her extensive involvement with grassroots social movements in Colombia, Coleman observes that mainstream expressions of human rights have become counterparts to capitalist violence, even as this discourse disavows capitalism's deadly implications. She rejects claims that human rights are inherently tied to capitalism, liberalism, or colonialism, instead showing how human rights can be used to combat these forces. Coleman demonstrates that social justice struggles that are rooted in marginalized communities' lived experiences can reframe human rights in order to challenge oppressive power structures and offer a blueprint for constructing alternative political economies. By examining the practice of redefining human rights away from abstract universals and contextualizing them within concrete struggles for justice, Coleman reveals the transformative potential of human rights and invites readers to question and reshape dominant legal and ethical narratives. Lara Montesinos Coleman is Professor of International Law, Ethics and Political Economy at the University of Sussex, where she also teaches on the MA in Human Rights. She is author of Struggles for the Human: Violent Legality and the Politics of Rights, published by Duke University Press in 2024 and shortlisted for the Susan Strange Best Book Prize, awarded for an outstanding book published in any field of International Studies.

The girlies are back for part two of the immigration series to unpack our modern-day McCarthyism. Starting with a recap of current events (aka The Horrible Things Update), they pick up where they left off in history, discussing Japanese internment, the second Red Scare, post-9/11 surveillance, and how fear of the 'other' has always justified oppression. Digressions include Khloe Kardashian's venture into protein dust and the comforting fact that, as of today, sunlight is still legal to experience. We're going on tour!!!!

The Trump Administration has quickly addressed the widespread Semitism on American colleges and university campuses b y yanking federal funding for certain schools that have done little to combat hate against Jewish students and faculty. The administration has yanked $400 million in federal grants from Columbia University, other schools losing federal funding include Northwestern University, Portland State University, the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Minnesota. But the real concern seems to be where problem schools get foreign funding and who, and what ideals are behind it. FOX's Eben Brown speaks with Rabbi Yaakov Menken, Executive Vice-President Of The Coalition For Jewish Values, based In New York City, who says the largest foreign donors to to American schools and universities are notoriously anti-Semitic states.

In this episode, I chat with Dr. Hayley Crane about supporting autistic and ADHD learners in ways that are truly affirming and compassionate. We dive into how visual supports and predictable routines can reduce anxiety, ease transitions, and help kids feel more confident and secure throughout their day. We also explore what to do when power struggles pop up, how to better understand the emotional fatigue that can follow a long day of navigating demands, and the importance of flexibility and connection in our interactions. Hayley and I talk about why it's helpful to reduce verbal demands—like asking fewer questions and making more observations—and how honoring each child's deep interests can boost engagement and build trust. This conversation is packed with real-world strategies for educators and parents, along with gentle reminders to care for yourself as you care for your students or children. It's all about creating supportive, responsive environments where autistic kids can thrive. Bio:  Dr. Hayley Crain is a clinical psychologist, adjunct professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and mom of two. She blends personal lived experience with clinical expertise to support neurodivergent kids and their families through inclusive, practical strategies. Dr. Crain holds a doctorate from The Chicago School and a master's from Columbia University. She's worked with top institutions across the U.S., including the CDC's SEED study, the May Institute, Children's Hospital Colorado, and the Waisman Center. Now back in her hometown, she runs Haven Psychology, offering neuroaffirming therapy, coaching, and assessments—always with empathy, real-life tools, and a touch of humor, informed by her own experiences with ADHD, dyslexia, and anxiety. Links:  Dr. Hayley Crain's website:  https://www.drhayleycrain.com/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/drhayleycrain/ Takeaways Power struggles can be minimized by picking battles wisely. Flexibility is crucial in supporting neurodivergent children. Understanding behavior as communication is key to effective support. Using interests can enhance engagement and learning. Transitions can be challenging for neurodivergent children. Visual supports can aid in understanding routines and transitions. Acknowledging a child's protest is important for their communication. Creating a supportive environment can reduce anxiety during transitions. Visual supports can be crucial for helping children transition smoothly. Predictable routines can create a sense of security for kids. An All Done Bucket is a valuable tool for ending activities. Repetition and visual cues are essential for memory retention in children. After school restraint collapse is a common experience for neurodivergent children. Teaching executive functioning skills can start at a young age. Connecting with children can be done without asking questions. Less talking can lead to better engagement with children.    You may also be interested in these supports: Visual Support Starter Set  Visual Supports Facebook Group Autism Little Learners on Instagram Autism Little Learners on Facebook

It's been announced that Warren Buffett is stepping down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway. In this episode, I'll discuss Buffett's humble beginnings, his approach to investing, and the philosophy that built one of the most successful companies in history. I'll also break down Warren Buffett's wisdom into seven powerful, practical tips that align with my own approach to advising clients. Listen for tips on starting your investment journey early, staying the course during tough markets, and prioritizing temperament over intellect.  You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [00:00] Principles of Warren Buffett's investing strategies. [05:55] Buffett co-founded The Giving Pledge, pledging 99% of his wealth, and influencing other billionaires. [07:08] Berkshire Hathaway class A shares have averaged a 19% annual return since 1966, vastly outperforming the S&P 500's 11%. [12:41] Invest early, stay committed through market ups and downs, and be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful. [17:03] Warren Buffett advises most people to use index funds due to the difficulty of replicating his results. [18:43] Make investment decisions based on facts, not emotions. Investment Lessons from Warren Buffett Warren Buffett, often called the “Oracle of Omaha,” has long been considered one of the greatest investors of all time. His recent announcement that he will step down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway after more than six decades is the perfect time to reflect on what sets Buffett apart, not just as an investor but as an individual. This episode digs into key lessons from Buffett's life and career, exploring practical ways to apply his wisdom to your financial journey. From Humble Beginnings to Monumental Success Warren Buffett's rise didn't begin in a Wall Street boardroom, but in Omaha, Nebraska, where he was born in 1930. From an early age, Buffett showed an affinity for entrepreneurship, selling chewing gum, Coca-Cola, and magazines as a child. His formal education at the University of Nebraska, Wharton Business School, and Columbia University (where he studied under the legendary Benjamin Graham) laid the foundation for his value investing philosophy. Buffett started his first investment partnership in 1956 with $105,100, much of it from family and friends. By the age of 32, he was a millionaire. His acquisition of Berkshire Hathaway, a struggling textile company at the time, became the launchpad for one of the most successful investment conglomerates in history. The Power of Modesty and Discipline Despite amassing unparalleled wealth, Buffett is renowned for his modest lifestyle. He still lives in the house he purchased in 1958 for $31,000 and drives an older model Cadillac, proving that frugality and comfort often go hand in hand. This modesty is more than a quirk; it's a testament to his belief that wealth should serve a purpose beyond personal extravagance. Buffett's philanthropic efforts are equally legendary. Through The Giving Pledge (co-founded with Bill and Melinda Gates), he's committed to donating more than 99% of his fortune. For Buffett, investing is not just about making money, it's about stewarding resources responsibly and generously. Berkshire Hathaway's Long-Term Outperformance Under Buffett's leadership, Berkshire Hathaway's stock has delivered returns averaging 19% annually since 1966, trouncing the S&P 500's historical average of 11%. One share of Berkshire's Class A stock now costs nearly $800,000, a figure that tells the story of sustained outperformance. Buffett has also issued Class B shares at a lower price tag to democratize access for smaller investors, reflecting his desire to make wealth-building accessible. Buffett's Top Investing Lessons 1. Don't Lose Money Buffett's two most famous rules are simple: “Rule number one: don't lose money. Rule number two: don't forget rule number one.” He emphasizes buying quality businesses with durable competitive advantages rather than taking risks on struggling firms with unsustainable dividends. 2. Start Early and Stay the Course In his book The Snowball, Buffett likens investing to rolling a snowball down a long hill: the earlier you start, the bigger the results. Even if you're approaching retirement, encouraging the younger generation to invest early can yield enormous benefits over time. 3. Remaining Committed Through Market Ups and Downs is Equally Vital Buffett urges consistent investing, especially when markets are turbulent. Staying invested and buying during downturns can lead to significant long-term gains. 4. Be Fearful When Others Are Greedy Buffett's contrarian mindset, being “fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful”, has served him well during market panics. While it's emotionally taxing to buy during selloffs, history shows that long-term investors are often rewarded. 5. Buy Great Companies at Fair Prices Rather than chasing bargains, focus on acquiring well-run businesses at reasonable valuations. Many of Buffett's best investments, Apple, Coca-Cola, and American Express, embody this approach. 6. Focus on Buying and Holding Low-cost Index Funds Buffett believes this is the simplest and most effective long-term investment strategy because it provides broad market exposure while keeping fees to a minimum, both of which are important for building wealth over time. 7. Temperament Is Key According to Buffett, success in investing is more about temperament than IQ. The ability to remain rational and stick to your plan, regardless of market noise, is what separates great investors from the rest.

The Trump Administration has quickly addressed the widespread Semitism on American colleges and university campuses b y yanking federal funding for certain schools that have done little to combat hate against Jewish students and faculty. The administration has yanked $400 million in federal grants from Columbia University, other schools losing federal funding include Northwestern University, Portland State University, the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Minnesota. But the real concern seems to be where problem schools get foreign funding and who, and what ideals are behind it. FOX's Eben Brown speaks with Rabbi Yaakov Menken, Executive Vice-President Of The Coalition For Jewish Values, based In New York City, who says the largest foreign donors to to American schools and universities are notoriously anti-Semitic states.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 125: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: What do you like least? Suspending Habeas Corpus? Breaking the law by threatening to arrest members of Congress for obeying the law? Or Trump accepting a half billion dollar impeachable illegal bribe from the government of Qatar that the Attorney General has ruled ISN’T illegal and by the way the Attorney General used to be a lobbyist FOR the government of Qatar? They’re all nation-destroying events but bluntly there is no way back from a suspension of Habeas Corpus. It’s a one-man dictatorship then – because if you think SUSPENDING Habeas Corpus ‘just for undocumented immigrants’ is somehow acceptable on its face, remember two things. One is: that there would be NO HEARINGS and NO LEGAL RECOURSE for ANYONE seized in this way so that all they would have to do is CLAIM that YOU are an undocumented immigrant to rationalize disappearing you, and you would not have a hearing at which you could prove you were a citizen, and you would not have a lawyer to appeal the decision not to GIVE you a hearing. And Stephen Miller didn't even say 'we'd only suspend it for undocumented immigrants.' Of course threatening to arrest members of Congress for exerting their legal right of oversight to the Concentration Camp ICE just opened in Newark by accusing them of assaulting agents (you know: The Congresswoman hit my fist with her face!) is bad and it mainlines back to the idea that they could just arrest them and under suspended Habeas Corpus just disappear them. As Congressman Michael 'I'm Too Dumb To Realize I'm Calling For My Own Arrest' McCaul now says of the Jersey Democrats "you cannot be complicit with gang violence against our law enforcement. And I think perhaps that’s what it comes down to.” ALSO: Trump's new Qatari plane is an illegal, impeachable offense but since the AG already registered as a Qatari agent, just hit the shrug emoji. They've accused The Secretary of Scotch with plagiarism at Princeton. They fired the Librarian of Congress and Karoline Lie-vitt is so stupid she thinks kids check books out of the Library of Congress. Trump now wants Jeanine Pirro as interim U.S. Attorney in DC, which allows us to flash back to the time she lost a page of her speech announcing she was running for Senate and just stood there until they found it for her. And of course, there's a new Pope. Father Bob. Father Bob the White Sox fan. Meaning our Nancy Faust, who went back to the White Sox games yesterday to reprise her role as the greatest stadium organist of all time, is right when she says "Who knew? All those years I literally had a papal audience!" B-Block (46:27) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: This time they're all people I know and used to respect who have failed the world. Gavin Newsom has again proposed appeasing Trump. Bob Iger has again carried an immeasurable amount of propaganda water for Trump. And Claire Shipman, whom I adored, has stood by as Columbia University (you know, the place with the Journalism School) suspended four of its own student reporters for...reporting. C-Block (1:02:00) OUR PAL SMILES again needs your help.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Federal prosecutors have filed a motion to exclude testimony from Dr. Elie Aoun, a forensic psychiatrist and assistant professor at Columbia University, whom Sean "Diddy" Combs' defense team intends to call as an expert witness. The defense aims to have Dr. Aoun testify regarding Combs' mental state during the period of the alleged offenses, suggesting that Combs may have had diminished mental capacity. However, the government argues that Dr. Aoun's proposed testimony is inadmissible under the Insanity Defense Reform Act of 1984 and Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 12.2, which govern the introduction of expert testimony related to a defendant's mental condition. Prosecutors contend that Dr. Aoun's opinions lack a reliable scientific basis and appear to be speculative, rendering them unsuitable for presentation to the jury.Additionally, the government asserts that allowing Dr. Aoun's testimony would effectively permit the defense to introduce a mental health defense without adhering to the procedural requirements mandated by law. They argue that the defense has not provided sufficient notice or evidence to support such a defense, and that Dr. Aoun's testimony would serve as a substitute for calling actual witnesses, thereby circumventing the rules of evidence. The prosecution maintains that admitting this testimony could mislead the jury and prejudice the government's case, and therefore, they urge the court to preclude Dr. Aoun from testifying at trial.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.628425.276.0_1.pdf

Rob King returns to the podcast. He is a professor of film and media studies at Columbia University's School of the Arts. He is the author of "Hokum! The Early Sound Slapstick Short and Depression-Era Mass Culture" (2017) and "The Fun Factory: The Keystone Film Company and the Emergence of Mass Culture" (2009). And now Rob has a new book "Man of Taste: The Erotic Cinema of Radley Metzger" (Columbia University Press, 2025). We are joined by novelist Cathy Brown who has some background behind the camera in the adult film industry. https://youtu.be/9kvinUaOKKk Radley Metzger was one of the foremost directors of adult film in America, with credits including softcore titles like "The Lickerish Quartet" and the hardcore classic "The Opening of Misty Beethoven". After getting his start making arthouse trailers for Janus Films, Metzger would go on to become among the most feted directors of the porno chic 'era of the 1970s, working under the pseudonym Henry Paris. In the process, he produced a body of work that exposed the porous boundaries separating art cinema from adult film, softcore from hardcore, and good taste from bad. Rob King uses Metzger's work to explore what taste means and how it works, tracing the evolution of the adult film industry and the changing frontiers of cultural acceptability. "Man of Taste" spans Metzger's entire life: his early years in Manhattan's Washington Heights neighborhood, his attempt to bring arthouse aesthetics to adult film in the 1960s, his turn to pseudonymously directed hardcore movies in the 1970s, and his final years, which included making videos on homeopathic medicine. Metzger's career, King argues, sheds light on how the distinction between the erotic and the pornographic is drawn, and it offers an uncanny reflection of the ways American film culture transformed during these decades.

The Dean's List with Host Dean Bowen – As a throng of pro-Palestinian protesters stood on tables, beat drums, and unfurled banners in the reading room of Columbia University's main library, Shipman responded decisively by immediately reaching out to the NYPD. She further stressed that the university condemns violence, anti-Semitism, and all forms of hate and discrimination...
