Voici l'Évangile du vendredi 14 août 2026 :« C'est en raison de la dureté de votre cœur que Moïse vous a permis de renvoyer vos femmes. Mais au commencement, il n'en était pas ainsi » (Mt 19, 3-12)En ce temps-là, des pharisiens s'approchèrent de Jésus pour le mettre à l'épreuve ; ils lui demandèrent : « Est-il permis à un homme de renvoyer sa femme pour n'importe quel motif ? » Il répondit : « N'avez-vous pas lu ceci ? Dès le commencement, le Créateur les fit homme et femme ? et dit : “À cause de cela, l'homme quittera son père et sa mère, il s'attachera à sa femme, et tous deux deviendront une seule chair.” Ainsi, ils ne sont plus deux, mais une seule chair. Donc, ce que Dieu a uni, que l'homme ne le sépare pas ! » Les pharisiens lui répliquent : « Pourquoi donc Moïse a-t-il prescrit la remise d'un acte de divorce avant la répudiation ? » Jésus leur répond : « C'est en raison de la dureté de votre cœur que Moïse vous a permis de renvoyer vos femmes. Mais au commencement, il n'en était pas ainsi. Or je vous le dis : si quelqu'un renvoie sa femme – sauf en cas d'union illégitime – et qu'il en épouse une autre, il est adultère. » Ses disciples lui disent : « Si telle est la situation de l'homme par rapport à sa femme, mieux vaut ne pas se marier. » Il leur répondit : « Tous ne comprennent pas cette parole, mais seulement ceux à qui cela est donné. Il y a des gens qui ne se marient pas car, de naissance, ils en sont incapables ; il y en a qui ne peuvent pas se marier car ils ont été mutilés par les hommes ; il y en a qui ont choisi de ne pas se marier à cause du royaume des Cieux. Celui qui peut comprendre, qu'il comprenne ! » Cet enregistrement est proposé bénévolement pour répandre la Parole de Dieu

In an environment when everyone in US commercial real estate is basically making the same pitch, why are some firms more successful than others at raising capital? Why are some firms more successful than others at getting the deal? In this episode, AFIRE CEO Gunnar Branson discusses these questions with the founder, chairman and CEO of Institutional Real Estate Inc., Geoffrey Dohrmann. Branson and Dohrmann decide the key involves relationships and trust, and discuss ways to meet the challenge of building trust across international borders and between investors. Also on the agenda: Wisdom from commencement speeches! Marathon Man star Laurence Olivier's advice to Dustin Hoffman!

A recent article in The Atlantic thoughtfully asked what makes Americans so unhappy. It looked at conflicting economic data (the delta between sentiment and actual economic conditions) and pondered what may be going on to make Americans feel so lousy about the economy. In this episode of Capital Record, David suggests that there are a few different things going on, and they all point to issues near and dear to our hearts.    Show Notes: Atlantic articleThe Secret to a Happy Life (Commencement speech) Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

A hypervisual, looks-obsessed, wellness-crazed, postliterate society where we're constantly staring at screens and evaluating one another based on metrics, as the country around us feels like it's falling apart: That sounds like the world we live in. It's also the world Gary Shteyngart created in his 2010 novel, “Super Sad True Love Story.” I've been thinking about the book a lot recently, especially with the rise of the “looksmaxxing” influencer Clavicular and the longevity guru Bryan Johnson, and this feeling that people are upset and agitated but grabbing at the wrong things to fix it. It feels uncannily like the experience of living inside Shteyngart's novel. But Shteyngart isn't just a dystopian prophet, he's also an expert at living well amid the world's darkness. His forthcoming book, “The Sensualist: Adventures in Pure Pleasure,” is an essay collection about his efforts to do exactly that. So I wanted to have Shteyngart on the show to understand how he predicted so many of the grimmer aspects of our present, but also how we might delight in the world's “endless buffet of pleasure” in spite of them. This episode contains strong language. Note: We're recording an "Ask Me Anything" episode soon. If you have a question, please email ezrakleinshow@nytimes.com using the subject like "AMA."

Commencement season is here and, as many students are closing one chapter and stepping into the next, it's a nice moment to ask: what did learning really look like for these students, and how might it change for the next generation? With those questions in mind, we're re-releasing a conversation with Computer Science Professor Chris Piech on the future of computer-aided education. Chris studies how computers can and will help students learn. His message isn't that teachers are obsolete — far from it. He shares that the future of education certainly involves AI, but that we must never lose the human element. Whether you're a new grad, a lifelong learner, or an educator wondering what's coming next, this one is well worth another listen. Have a question for Russ?

Commencement season is here, and while we all love the tradition, let's be honest: a lot of graduation ceremonies are still operationally stuck in the 18th century. This week, Chase Rigby, CEO of Tassel, joins Mike Palmer to talk about what it actually takes to modernize the final milestone of the student lifecycle. Chase shares his path from teaching seventh-grade math and science with Teach For America to working as a product manager at Google, before ultimately using a search fund model to acquire Marching Order and evolve it into Tassel. We dig into why forward-thinking colleges are moving away from treating graduation as just a logistical headache and starting to view it as a strategic marketing and recruitment engine. Chase explains how Tassel is trying to upend the traditional business model by moving away from nickel-and-diming students with steep fees for their own achievement, and instead leveraging community gifting platforms that put money back in their pockets for rent or student debt. We also get into the tech side of things, discussing how they train AI models on a 20-year phonetic database to get broadcast-quality name pronunciations on stage, all while navigating the strict landscape of biometric privacy and user consent. It turns out getting that final touchpoint right pays massive dividends for lifelong alumni relations. Episode Timestamps: 00:00 - Chase's journey from Teach For America to product management at Google. 03:00 - Running a search fund and finding the graduation space with Marching Order. 05:30 - Shifting mindsets: Treating commencement as a strategic marketing and alumni recruitment tool. 09:00 - Turning graduation into a net-positive financial event for students via gifting. 12:30 - Blending digital software with real life to provide free graduation photos. 18:30 - How Tassel uses a 20-year phonetic database and AI to nail name pronunciation on stage. 21:30 - Tackling biometric privacy, user consent, and BIPA compliance. 28:30 - Scaling campus software point solutions and trends in the lower middle market. 32:30 - Final takeaways, looking out for Tassel at upcoming ceremonies, and closing shots.

This week the hosts break down three stories circling the same question: who actually consents to AI's rollout into civic life? Malta adopts ChatGPT. OpenAI's "OpenAI for Countries" program will give every Maltese citizen free ChatGPT Plus for a year, plus an AI literacy course. Nick warns of Free Basics-style second-order risks; George sees a paid tier as a better deal than the ad-driven alternative. Both flag the year-long lock-in and the temptation for governments to nudge system prompts. Commencement speakers booed for praising AI. 81% of Gen Z think AI will shrink job opportunities, but NY Fed data shows recent grad underemployment (41.5%) is well below its 2012 peak. The takeaway for nonprofits: this is not the quarter to brag about AI efficiencies in your newsletter. Musk loses to Altman. The jury sided with OpenAI. Worth watching: the OpenAI nonprofit arm is about to be extraordinarily well-funded, and Malta may be a preview of its philanthropy.

Commencement speakers got booed this weekend for mentioning AI — by the same graduating class that used ChatGPT to write their papers. Bridget Phetasy breaks down why the anti-AI panic is just climate anxiety with a new face, why Bernie Sanders and AOC's plan to ban data centers is the worst idea in recent memory, and why China is absolutely loving every minute of our meltdown. #AI #DataCenters #DumpsterFire #BridgetPhetasyTopics covered: AI fear, data center ban, Bernie Sanders AOC AI regulation, Eric Schmidt commencement booed, AI jobs threat, anti-capitalism tech backlash, China AI race, AI water usage myth, Luddites vs tech bros 

President Donald Trump will participate in the 145th commencement ceremony of the United States Coast Guard Academy at 10:45 a.m. ET on Wednesday.Secretary of State Marco Rubio offered to forge a new relationship between the United States and Cuba on Wednesday in a video message to the Cuban people, proposing $100 million in aid and blaming Cuba's leaders for shortages of electricity, food, and fuel. "I want to tell you what we, in the U.S., are offering to help you not only alleviate the current crisis, but also to build a better future," Rubio said in a May 20 statement.

The Chumps Line starts the hour, and Howie discusses Eric Church's commencement speech at UNC. Then, Howie takes a trip to the past when a climate change promoter told everyone there'd be no humans left in 2026.  Visit the Howie Carr Radio Network website to access columns, podcasts, and other exclusive content.

In session 323, In Class with Carr uses the 2026 Commencement Season to explore the nature of time and the ways rituals marking transition create opportunities to reflect on Africana Governance, our relationships to one another and our obligations to each other. Centering Sankofa as a Way of Knowing, we examine how individual and collective dignity and power are strengthened through action-oriented rituals of Cultural Meaning-Making that encourage collective reflection. Strengthening this momentum of memory is especially important during moments when Social Structures intensify contests over global and local power arrangements and weaponize identity and memory against groups perceived as threats to existing power systems. This week, during a meeting with the U.S. President and leading figures in global business, Chinese President Xi Jinping invoked a metaphor from the Greek historian Thucydides—“the Thucydides Trap”—to signal a shifting global balance of power. Whether in conversations among BRICS foreign ministers in India, in commencement addresses to anxious graduates at Black and other institutions, or in testimony of rising forces determined to break attempts by White nationalist legislators in the neo-Confederate U.S. South to hold on to their fading power arrangements, one message is clear: We are living through a new time in the perpetual realignment of power. The question we must answer is whether—and how—we will respond.Are you a member of Knarrative? If not, we invite you to join our community today by signing up at: https://www.knarrative.com.

It's graduation season, and Brian From mines the best commencement wisdom making the rounds — Eric Church's six guitar strings as six pillars of life (and why faith is the low E that everything else depends on), Rick Warren's sobering reminder that nobody on their deathbed has ever asked for their trophies, and Admiral McRaven's legendary case for why making your bed every morning is actually about the trajectory of your entire day. Then: a genuinely important piece on why parents need to play too — not just schedule their kids' activities, but carve out hobbies, downtime, and unstructured joy for themselves. Research says peak wellbeing hits around $111,000 a year, relationships matter more than wealth, and time may be our greatest currency — but do we actually live like we believe any of that? A 72-year-old grandmother just graduated medical school and is starting her residency, which is either inspiring or convicting depending on where you are with your own dreams. Plus: a company that gave employees a goodie bag instead of a raise, Pizza Hut bringing back the red checkered tablecloths, and a beautiful meditation on why God loves to hear his children cry "help please, Dad."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Historian and New York Times bestselling author Jemar Tisby joins Mark Labberton to confront the Supreme Court's 6–3 ruling in Louisiana v. Callais, which has eviscerated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and reopened the door to racial gerrymandering across the South. Recorded in the immediate aftermath, the conversation traces the long arc from the Three-Fifths Clause and Dred Scott through Selma to this hour. "This has landed in the black community harder and heavier than a lot of what we've seen during the Trump administration." In this episode with Mark Labberton, Tisby reflects on the history of black disenfranchisement, the cynicism of colorblind jurisprudence, and what remains of multiracial democracy in America. Together they discuss how the legal architecture of Jim Crow reemerges under neutral language, John Roberts's decades-long campaign against the Voting Rights Act, Justice Kagan's umbrella analogy, the suspension of Louisiana's primary, the black church's response, and why this midterm may be the country's last political chance. Episode Highlights "This has landed in the black community harder and heavier than a lot of what we've seen during the Trump administration, and that's saying a lot." "It boggles the mind that folks sitting on the highest court in the land who have been to all these Ivy League schools, have literally decades of experience, can get it so wrong and stand so arrogantly on such faulty reasoning." "Colorblindness only works if you're starting from a level playing field." "These are not good-faith actors, not people wanting a representative democracy, but people wanting to consolidate power, which we call minority rule." "If you can't win on the merits of what you believe, then you have to rig the system so that no one can get you out of office."
