While more and more craft breweries streamline their releases to reflect what's popular and marketable, we're happy to see when others make weirdo quick sours that include unconventional ingredients - and we're here to celebrate four of those types of beers. For this one, we try to abandon our fears and embrace the tart while learning a bit about what we prefer off of these quickly-made abnormal sours. Also, Ryan's ready to market an invention that'll change how you wash your face; Craig was secretly hoping for a smoothie; and we relive the horrors of that one Genesis music video.

John Hancock: first to sign, first to invest in America’s independence DB132603 Author: Randall, Willard Sterne Reading Time: 7 hours, 15 minutes Read by: Steve Hendrickson Subjects: Biography of Heads of State and Political Figures, U.S. History, Government and Politics “A contemporary of Samuel Adams, John Adams, George Washington, and the Marquis de Lafayette, Hancock's contacts read like a who's who of the American Revolution. But shockingly little has been written about the man himself — and current biographies tend to over-rely on critical portrayals by his political opponents. John Hancock the story of a man who deserves far more acknowledgment for his involvement in the American Revolution than previously credited — and award-winning scholar Willard Sterne Randall is determined to give him his due at last. Born to relatively modest means, Hancock was sent to live with his wealthy uncle and aunt as a child, who raised him as their own and prepared him to take over the family company. An incredibly successful businessman, Hancock began to get involved in politics in the mid-1760s. He quickly rose in the ranks, eventually serving as the president of the Continental Congress and the first governor of Massachusetts. John Hancock details all of the major moments in the Revolution, from the Boston Tea Party to the battles of Lexington and Concord to the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Hancock's actions fundamentally altered each of these events — and ultimately the course of the United States — in ways never taught in the history books. Randall also dives into less-known parts of Hancock's life with nuance and compassion, including his education and controversial work with Harvard; his long courtship and complicated marriage to Dorothy Quincy; and his close relationship and eventual bitter rivalry with Samuel Adams. John Hancock was immensely popular in Massachusetts at the time of the Revolution, but his lack of personal writings have allowed him to be pushed aside in favor of easier biographies to tell. Through extensive research, Randall aims to restore Hancock to his rightful place, celebrated for his achievements as one of our Founding Fathers at last.” — Goodreads. Unrated. Commercial audiobook.

The subscribers of the Treatise publicly confessed that the Lord had given the Church to call, elect, and ordain qualified ministers for the office of the Ministry.  The subscribers affirmed that the Pope had no divine right to universal supremacy over the Church as Christ and Christ alone is head. Thanks be to God that the confession of the subscribers of the 16th century is still our confession today.

Education reforms dominated the state Legislature this year. Most efforts failed, though a few bills await action from Gov. Kelly Ayotte. Lawmakers rejected bills mandating new public school courses, open enrollment expansion, and increased oversight of the state's school voucher program. The federal courthouse in Concord handles all kinds of cases, but over the past year one particular type of case has shot up: Habeas Corpus petitions by people detained by ICE. Lawyers say filing these petitions is a way for detainees to get due process, but the sheer number is putting a strain on the system. We discuss these stories and more on this week's edition of the NH News Recap with NHPR reporters Annmarie Timmins, Lau Guzmán and Imaan Moin.

John Quincy Adams was the great visionary of America's post-founding era, a writer and orator of consummate skill who reframed the origins and principles of the republic for a new generation. It's fitting then that as the nation approaches the 250th anniversary of independence, that Adams should be the focus of renewed attention. One new book in particular caught our eye at Library of America: America's Founding Son: John Quincy Adams, from President to Political Maverick by Bob Crawford (Zando 2026). Crawford is perhaps best known as the bassist for the acclaimed folk-rock band The Avett Brothers, out of Concord, North Carolina. But he is also the host of not one but two popular podcasts: American History Hotline, on iHeart Radio, and The Road to Now, on SiriusXM's POTUS channel. With all this going on, we're very grateful that he could make time to sit down with LOA associate publisher Brian McCarthy for a free-ranging conversation about all things Adams.

It's a year after the Battles of Lexington and Concord and only days before the Declaration of Independence would be signed. It's June 1776 and along the shores of South Carolina, British troops are amassing while the colonists rush to construct Fort Sullivan out of the local palmetto logs which would later be commemorated on that state's flag and in its nickname.  After a day of fighting involving 10,000 British and American troops, the British abandoned their effort and the patriots proved they could compete in battle with the British Army and Navy.  To walk us through this historic battle including its buildup and aftermath, we are honored to welcome historian and scholar Doug Maclntyre.  Doug is a fellow of Southern Campaigns of the American Revolution and served on the board of the South Carolina Historical Society and chaired the Fort Sumter – Fort Moultrie Historical Trust.

In the aftermath of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, colonial militiamen converged on Boston to confront the veteran British Army. But over the next six months, newly appointed commander-in-chief George Washington struggled to transform a patchwork of amateur militias into a unified national army.As the conflict wore on, Americans debated whether to escalate the fight and take the unprecedented step of declaring their independence.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On Friday, June 13th, 2008, just before 10 AM, an unknown assailant entered the Sundrop Bottling Company building in Concord, North Carolina.  Inside were three employees including office manager Donna Barnhardt as well as Darrell Noles, a local man applying for a part-time job.  During what police have called a robbery gone wrong, both Donna and Darrell were shot and killed.  The shooter then walked out of the building, jogged across the road and disappeared into the treeline of a wooded area.  He is alleged to have been carrying a box with him as he left the scene.Despite exhaustive search efforts launched by local and state police within twenty minutes of the crime, the killer escaped the dragnet.  For nearly two decades investigators have searched for the killer, although they believed they always knew who it was.  Following a full and thorough re-examination of all available evidence and leads, detectives from Concord in conjunction with Port Angeles police arrested forty-three year old Johnny Talbert in Washington.  He has been charged with two counts of murder and one count of robbery with a firearm.  He is currently awaiting extradition.Listen to Episode 114 - The Sundrop MurdersFollowTEPod.comFollow Trace Evidence on Social MediaTwitter --- Instagram --- TikTok --- YouTube --- Like Facebook Page --- Join Facebook Group --- Threads --- Like MeWe Page --- Join MeWe Group --- BlueskySuppport Trace EvidencePatreon --- Paypal --- Cash App --- Buy Me A CoffeeTrace Evidence Merch ShopsTeePublic --- ShopTEPod --- SpreadshopAll Other LinksOfficial Trace Evidence Website --- LinkTreeMusic Courtesy of:"Lost Time"  Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"Echoes of Time" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"Galactic Rap" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/#truecrimepodcast #unsolvedmysteries #coldcase #coldcaseinvestigation #murder #murdermystery #missingperson #missingpersons #truecrimecommunity #mysterypodcast #truecrime #coldcasefiles #truecrimestories #crimelovers #truecrimeaddict #truecrimejunkie #crimescene #justiceforall #missing #crimesquad #podcastcommunity #sleuthsunite #darkhistories #criminalmindset #detective #detectivediaries #forensics #forensicfiles #crimestories #crimepodcast #traceevidence #traceevidencepodcast #criminalinvestigation #justiceforvictims #detectivework #truecrimediscussion #podcastfamily #listenandsolve #crimefans #listentotraceevidence #uncoverthetruth #podcastrecommendations #podcastlove #podcastlife #truecrimeobsessed #followtheclues #cluefinders #podcastaddict #unsolvedmurders #unsolveddisappearances #detectiveatheart #jointheinvestigation #disappearance #vanishing #abduction #gonemissing #upandvanished #pacheco #stevenpacheco #podcasting #crimetalk #crimeanalysis #theories #donnabarnhardt #darrellnoles #sundrop #concordnc #concord #northcarolina #shooting #update #solved #arrested #johnnytalbert #talbertBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/trace-evidence--3207798/support.

America turns 250 and most families will watch fireworks — but “what if” your kids actually understood the stories, the sacrifices, and the people who made this country possible? Your America 250 celebration does not have to be complicated to be meaningful.This episode shares 3 real Americans from 250 years ago whose stories will spark great conversations with your kids, plus simple ideas to make your America 250 celebration come alive this summer with no big unit study or hours of preparation:✅Why history sticks when it is told through stories instead of textbooks✅The 1 question to ask after reading any biography that sparks real thinking✅3 ordinary people from 250 years ago that changed history with everyday courage✅Simple hands-on activity ideas that connect colonial history to real life today✅Why your kitchen table is the most powerful classroom in America right nowGrab the America 250 Leadership and Freedom Bundle mentioned in this episode and start your celebration this week.Resources for You America 250 Leadership and Freedom Bundle includes use code 250 for 20% offAmerica 250 Leadership and Freedom Unit StudyJohnny Tremain Literature StudyFlag Day Unit - June 144th of July Unit StudyElection Day Unit Study use code 250 for 25% offWhat If Your Family Actually Understood the People Who Made America Possible?What if your family read a book together this summer, ate a colonial meal, and had a few great conversations? Would your children remember more about America's founding than an entire textbook?America turns 250 years old in just a few weeks, and the celebration has already begun. Most of you will go watch fireworks. But what if your children actually understood the people, the stories, the sacrifices, and the leadership that made America possible? It doesn't require a giant unit study or hours of preparation. Today I want to show you some simple ways to celebrate America 250 while inspiring a love of learning and having fun with your kids.History Is More Than Dates and Dead PeopleMost moms feel the pressure to cover the history and check off all the checkboxes. But history is so much bigger than that. When our kids were teenagers, they read a book in ninth grade called More Than Dates and Dead People — and that title says it all. We need to look at the stories of ordinary people who influenced others. That's leadership. Leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less.America 250, right now in the summertime when you may not even be doing regular school, is the perfect opportunity to help our kids see themselves as part of a much bigger picture.Paul Revere — One Ordinary Person Who Changed HistoryLet's start with Paul Revere and his Midnight Ride. Longfellow wrote a whole poem about it — The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere — and I still remember reciting it in junior high.Listen, my children, and you shall hear of the midnight ride of Paul Revere. On the 18th of April in 75, hardly a man is now alive who remembers that famous day and year.Most families know who Paul Revere is. But do they realize he was just a silversmith? When we were in Boston, we actually got to visit his house. He was just an ordinary craftsman who risked arrest to warn fellow patriots that the British troops were moving in on Lexington and Concord. One regular person used his influence to help change history.So how could you apply this to your family? Read a one-page biography of someone from 250 years ago in America. Read it aloud at lunch and ask one question — how did this person influence others? Then close your mouth and see what they say. That's leadership education in action. How easy is that?Great Books Bring History to LifeOne of the easiest ways to learn history — and the way we did it best — was through literature. Kids remember stories so much more than worksheets.One of our favorites is Johnny Tremaine. Johnny begins the story as a proud silversmith's apprentice, goes through a lot of hardship, makes mistakes, grows in friendships and responsibilities, and eventually grows into a leader during the American Revolution. Kids naturally connect with his struggles, and you can discuss courage, teachability, responsibility, and wise decision-making as you go through the book.Instead of worksheets, add some hands-on activities. Build a Boston Tea Party crane. Become a midnight messenger like Paul Revere. Do a colonial apprenticeship project. Make colonial meals together. My kids always perked up when food was involved. Learning becomes so much more memorable when you're doing history — not just memorizing and regurgitating facts.What could you do this week or next week? Read one chapter from a historical book. Have your kids narrate what they hear each day and ask one question — what leadership trait did this person show? Or not show? Not everyone's a good leader. Get a book from the library and start reading. That's enough.Abigail Adams — Leadership Doesn't Always Look Like Standing in Front of a CrowdA lot of people think it was only men participating 250 years ago. That is just not true. There were plenty of strong women fighting for the cause and supporting their families. Abigail Adams is one of them.She was home while John Adams was away serving his country — managing the farm, the finances, the household, and the children during very uncertain times. Many homeschool moms I know can relate to carrying the weight of everything that's going on.Her letters reveal courage, wisdom, and perseverance. On March 31st, 1776 — 250 years ago — John was helping to shape a new government. Here's what Abigail wrote:Remember the ladies, and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors.That sounds simple at first, but it reveals so much wisdom. Abigail understood that a new nation wasn't just about defeating Great Britain. It was about creating a better society. She encouraged leaders to think not only about the immediate crisis but also about the rights and needs of others.Leadership isn't always standing in front of a crowd. Sometimes it's a thoughtful letter. A meaningful conversation. Influencing the people around you. Something homeschool moms do every day. You are influencing the next generation. You may feel like you're not doing much, but you have more impact on your children than anyone else. Leadership is happening around the kitchen table.Patrick Henry and the Courage to Say What Others Won'tOn March 23rd, 1775, Patrick Henry challenged Virginians to prepare for difficult days. And one of the lines that most of us can remember — I hope your children will remember it too — is this: Give me liberty, or give me death.His speech helped persuade many colonists to take action when others were still uncertain what to do. He had influence.What could you do with his story? Read his speech and then ask — would you choose liberty? Or would you choose to just do whatever everyone else tells you, whatever the government says? There's a lot of conversation right there for your family. Have you ever needed courage to do something difficult? What does courage look like for a child? What does it look like for a homeschool mom?You Don't Need More Resources — You Need the Right OneThe problem with history isn't a lack of resources. There are resources abounding — printable packs, websites, YouTube videos. The problem is too many resources. You could spend 5 to 10 hours just trying to figure out what to do over the next few weeks. What you need is something that's organized and ready to use.America 250 is more than a birthday celebration. It's an opportunity to help your kids understand freedom, responsibility, leadership, and character. You don't have to recreate this in a classroom. Find some great books to read, tell great stories, have meaningful conversations around the dinner table, and let your kids see that history comes alive.250 years ago, ordinary people made choices that changed history. Paul Revere. Abigail Adams. Patrick Henry. Today, the conversations you have around the dinner table will influence the next generation just as quickly.That's why we made our America 250 Leadership and Freedom Bundle. It includes our Leadership and Freedom Unit Study, a bonus Johnny Tremaine literature study with silversmith STEM activities, history, writing, and math, a Flag Day unit study, a 4th of July unit study, and an Election Day unit study for November. It's literature-based, hands-on, all ages can learn at the same time, and it's leadership-focused. Every activity has a leadership tie-in.It's not a bunch of worksheets. It's not a textbook with multiple choice questions. It's easy for moms to use, it's all in one place, and you can start this week with Flag Day.Use code 250 to save 20%.

With the passion, erudition, and irrepressible wit that have become his signature, Eric Metaxas's REVOLUTION: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World brings the epic of America's birth to life so fully that you will feel you are a part of the story, which is precisely the point. By turns deeply moving, gripping, and spectacularly entertaining, these are the stories every American must know, including some of history's noblest heroes-and some despicable villains.REVOLUTION also touches on the role that sacrifice, character, and faith played in the great struggle for "the Sacred Cause" of liberty. George Washington, John Adams, Nathan Hale, Henry Knox, Horatio Gates, Israel Putnam, Benedict Arnold and many others all come to life for a new generation of Americans.At more than 500 pages-with photos, maps, and illustrations-REVOLUTION is definitive and sweeping, an astonishing epic containing a dazzling array of stories, ranging from the explosive events that led up to Lexington and Concord, all the way through the impossible twists and turns of the war itself-including the Battle of Bunker Hill, the Crossing of the Delaware, Saratoga, and the bitter winter at Valley Forge-all the way to the final victory in Yorktown and "The World Turned Upside Down."Unless we ourselves know the true story of the Revolution-what some have called America's "founding myth"-we cannot play the role we are meant to play in the Revolution that still continues today.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

In the towns of Lexington and Concord, an important event in American history took place. It was April 1775, and tensions were high between the American colonists and British soldiers. The British wanted to take away weapons from the colonists, but the colonists were ready to stand up for themselves. Early one morning, the two sides met in Lexington, where the first shots of the American Revolution were fired. The battle then moved to Concord, where the colonists forced the British to retreat. This event showed the courage of the American colonists and marked the beginning of their fight for independence.

As our guest preacher on June 7, Eric Wadsworth offered a brief message catalyzed by David Parsons' passionate testimony. Eric described the notion of "the call" and discussed the church's role in the call and commissioning of a congregational member as it befits God's intentions for the individual, the congregation, and the Kingdom. Our video this week also includes the commissioning of our brother in Christ David Parsons in his ministry to incarcerated men in Concord, NH.

The Office of the Keys, the power to forgive and retain sins, has been given to the Church. This is why the Church has the right to elect and ordain qualified ministers. When one decides that the Church no longer has this authority, no matter their position, they are outside of the Lord's calling and are not to be followed. The Reformers began to elect and ordain their own ministers to assure that the pure Gospel was preached and souls received a clear conscience in Christ. Rev.

1977 - Elwood, Illinois. In September 1977, 84-year-old Alice Sturm was murdered in her bed inside her home in Elwood, Illinois. Suspicion quickly fell on Alice's live-in granddaughter, Sheila, and her friend, Ernest Stanberry. But almost as quickly as the charges were filed, they were dropped — and Alice's case quietly faded into obscurity for decades. What investigators didn't know at the time was that Ernest Stanberry was also a suspect in another murder: the 1975 killing of Judy Lord in Concord, New Hampshire, a case that remained unsolved until 2025. It wasn't until 2026 that our research uncovered the connection between these two cases—linking a decades-old Illinois murder to a cold case hundreds of miles away. For nearly fifty years, Alice Sturm's murder sat collecting dust… Until now. This is the story of the murder of Alice Sturm. If you have any information on the murder of Alice Sturm, please reach out to Sgt. Mike Earnest at the Will County Sheriff's Office at (815) 727-8575 ext. 4943.

Greg Posner and Colan Neese (SVP Gaming, ASI Screen Engine) work through what happens when a studio forgets who its audience actually is, then pivot to Activision's surprise Modern Warfare 4 announcement, Bond's launch curve under the GTA 6 shadow, why Lego Batman is the first Batman content Greg's six-year-old can actually engage with, and predictions for next Tuesday's State of Play.Chapters00:00 Cold open and Player Driven update 02:50 Welcome to Player Driven Live 03:30 Modern Warfare 4 surprise drop and the October 26 release 06:55 Is Modern Warfare 4 part of the Xbox comeback story? 09:00 Why the GTA 6 release window is "black Sharpie" for everyone else 12:00 The "popcorn Call of Duty" vs the grimy core-gamer franchise 16:00 2026 as the year of the AAA comeback: Resident Evil, Forza, Crimson Desert, Wolverine 19:00 2018 Black Ops 4 vs Red Dead 2 — the precedent for this release strategy 20:20 Lego Batman, the Arkham mechanics, and TT Games' ownership purgatory 24:25 "The first thing that's come out of Batman since my son was born in 2019" 26:00 Did Lego overcorrect the formula and alienate younger players? 29:15 Sean Layden callback: bigger games aren't better games 30:00 Bond: how IO Interactive's marketing missed the audience 33:00 Why Bond, Lego, Subnautica 2, and Forza all cannibalized each other in one launch window 35:00 "Making a good game slows the degradation curve" — the Spider-Man 2 pattern 36:55 The Bond launch window that could have been 38:30 The Crimson Desert garden hose tangent 40:30 State of Play predictions: Wolverine, Gears, Fable, and a possible GTA 6 date drop 41:25 Bungie's 86% mindshare collapse since 2019 43:50 "You come out with something called The Final Shape — and then you're like, but not the end?" 46:13 "Unless the plan was let Bungie die" 47:00 Marathon as the cleanest case of a studio forgetting its audience 48:45 Concord, the previous Sony regime, and the half-billion Destiny 3 question 52:30 Bungie's rebellious DNA: from Microsoft to Activision to Sony 56:30 Charlie Olsen, the original Call of Duty SBMM algorithm, and an upcoming Player Driven podcast 58:45 Colan's final word: "I'm not anti-Bungie.

God's Word plainly teaches, “The law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good” (Romans 7:12). And so, we do not discard the Law, which is a holy gift from God. However, Lutherans have sometimes debated that Law's applications. In the 16th century, Lutheran theologians debated the question, “How many uses of God's Law are there?” While there is but one Law of God, He uses it in various ways, depending on the person to whom it is applied. Theologians attempted to catalogue these uses. Some disputes over numbering and terminology amounted to misunderstandings, but there were substantive disagreements as well, mainly involving the third use of the Law (the Law as a guide for Christian life). In response to these debates, the Formula identified three proper uses of God's holy Law. This study will explore the biblical basis for these three uses. Rev. Carl Roth, pastor of Grace Lutheran Church in Elgin, TX, joins Andy and Sarah to talk about the first “Searching Scripture” feature in the June/July 2026 issue of the Lutheran Witness titled “Article VI: The Third Use of God's Law” on Article VI in the Formula of Concord. This year, “Searching Scripture” is themed “Following the Formula” and will walk through the Formula of Concord in the Augsburg Confession. Follow along every month! This year, “Searching Scripture” is walking through the Formula of Concord (FC) from our Lutheran Confessions, exploring the biblical foundations for each topic. Before starting this study, it may be helpful to read FC Ep VI on the third use of the Law (p. 485–486) in Concordia: The Lutheran Confessions, CPH 2005).

In 2022, Sony paid $3.6 billion for Bungie to fuel its live-service expansion, aiming for 12 games and recurring revenue modeled after Fortnite. Instead, the deal became a major liability. Sony recorded ¥120.1 billion (~$765–768 million) in impairment charges in FY2025, including ¥31.5 billion in Q2 tied to Destiny 2 and ¥88.6 billion in Q4 linked to Marathon struggles and revised forecasts. This Segment covers Destiny 2's final major update “Monument of Triumph” on June 9, 2026, the shift to maintenance mode, confirmation that Destiny 3 is not in development, ongoing Bungie layoffs exceeding 750 staff since acquisition, Marathon's disappointing launch, and Sony's broader live-service setbacks including Concord, multiple project cancellations, and PS5 sales slowdown. We also examine Sony's still-profitable gaming division and shifting strategy. A must-listen for understanding the high-stakes realities of AAA live-service gaming. Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The authority of ministers consists in preaching the Gospel, forgiving sins, administering the sacraments, and excommunicating persons guilty of public sins. The Church, as she possesses the office of the keys, has the right to call and ordain qualified pastors. Bishops have traditionally overseen the ordination of ministers, but they cannot deprive congregations a pastor due to unbiblical additions to their responsibilities. Rev.

Bungie just shut down Destiny 2. The final live service update — Monument of Triumph — drops June 9, 2026, and after that, active development is over. All future expansions are canceled. Significant layoffs are coming. And Destiny 3 is not in development. This is the full breakdown.On this episode of GZ Chop Shop, Gregory, Uly, and Ty go deep on the collapse of one of gaming's most ambitious live service games and what it means for Bungie as a studio going forward. This isn't just a news recap — it's the full story. We trace Bungie's journey from a Mac gaming startup in 1991, through the creation of Marathon, the Microsoft acquisition that turned Halo into the Xbox killer app, the split from Microsoft, the Activision publishing deal, and the birth of Destiny in 2014. Then we cover everything that followed: Destiny 2's rocky 2017 launch, the controversial move to free-to-play, the expansion highs and lows, Lightfall's quality miss, the 2023 and 2024 layoff waves, and Sony's $3.6 billion acquisition that has now resulted in a $765 million write-down.We also get into the numbers that tell the real story. Bloomberg's Jason Schreier confirmed the layoffs and confirmed that no Destiny 3 has been greenlit — the Destiny 2 team currently has no next project lined up. Marathon, Bungie's extraction shooter that launched in March 2026 with strong reviews, is sitting at 10,000 to 15,000 concurrent players on Steam. That is not a $3.6 billion studio's numbers, and Season 2 dropping June 2 is a critical reset moment for the game and for Bungie's survival under Sony.Beyond the Bungie story, we pull back to talk about what this really says about the live service model in 2026 — why Destiny 2's failure echoes what happened with Concord, why gamers' patience has shortened, and whether studio acquisitions by major publishers like Sony, Microsoft, and Activision actually improve games or quietly dismantle the creative culture that made those studios worth buying. We look at the Bethesda and Respawn parallels, the FOMO-driven monetization loop that burned out the Destiny community, and what a genuine path forward looks like for Bungie.If you've ever played Destiny, followed Bungie, or just want to understand why one of gaming's best studios is fighting for its identity right now — this one is for you.

In this episode Adam, Brett, and Jason begin a series studying Article 12 of the Formula of Concord which deals with miscellaneous factions and sects. 

On a quiet Friday morning in June 2008, an armed intruder entered the Sun Drop Bottling Company in Concord, North Carolina, and brutally murdered office manager Donna Barnhardt and job applicant Darrell Noles in a calculated robbery. For nearly eighteen years, the double homicide remained one of the city's most haunting cold cases, devastating families and challenging investigators. In May 2026, persistent detective work and new forensic leads culminated in the arrest of suspect Johnny Steven Talbert, offering accountability and highlighting the enduring power of forensic persistence and human resilience.

  Dave and Doug Shaw cover the Georgia primary runoff matchups, Trump's primary influence and failed coattails, police brutality in South Carolina, and the deaths of Kyle Bush and Barney Frank. Georgia Primary Runoffs: Governor and Senate Burt Jones will face Rick Jackson in the Republican gubernatorial runoff — Jones outperformed expectations but Rick Jackson has momentum. Jackson runs the risk of over-indexing on Trump endorsement; he needs to build his own coalition. Lance Bottoms's entry into the race as a Democratic candidate alongside incumbent Ossoff might actually help Republicans. Meanwhile, the lieutenant governor's race heads to a runoff between JFK (who benefited from name recognition — people voting for the dead president) and Dolezal, whose campaign was a mess. His Sharia law flyer targeting Dolezal's Muslim name is tactically stupid in Georgia. Paulding County: Robert Lane Defeats Colleen Hampton in District Attorney Race Robert Lane won decisively, 65-35, in the Republican primary for Paulding County District Attorney. Dave had supported the opponent but congratulated Lane afterward. The race was amateur hour on both sides — particularly Hampton's alignment with the "Justice for Heather Turner" group pursuing a 2017 homicide case obsessively, maligning retired Sheriff Gary Gulledge, current Sheriff Ashley Henson, and homicide detective (and Dave's neighbor). Lane has no general-election competition; his challenge now is learning from the race's lessons. Thomas Massie Loses to Trump-Backed Challenger in Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie, perhaps the most constitutionally principled member of Congress, lost to Trump's preferred candidate in a sub-10-point race. Trump won Kentucky by far more, proving his coattails don't stretch to every race. Massie refused to rubber-stamp Trump and maintained separation from the executive branch — the role Congress is supposed to play. His loss signals the GOP increasingly favors loyalty tests over constitutional governance. Rumors suggest Massie may explore a 2028 presidential run; he'd get crushed, but his standing in principle has never wavered. Kyle Bush Dies at 41: NASCAR Legend's Illness and Legacy NASCAR driver Kyle Bush, 41, died shortly after testing a new racing simulator in Concord, North Carolina. He'd been coughing up blood and experiencing shortness of breath; reports suggest the infection may trace back to a ceramic stool incident four months prior that required 24 stitches in his calf. Bush was NASCAR's winningest driver across all racing tiers, owned a truck team, and mentored young drivers. He was set to race in the Coca-Cola 600 in Charlotte and the Truck Series race this weekend. Robert Busbee, Ogeechee Judicial District Attorney, Dies of Heart Attack Ogeechee Judicial Circuit District Attorney Robert Busbee, 44, suffered an apparent heart attack at a local gym. Busbee replaced Daphne Totten, who notoriously jailed a domestic-violence survivor for killing her abuser (conviction later overturned). Busbee restored integrity to the office.  Police Chokehold on White Teenager at South Carolina Baseball Game A resource officer in South Carolina placed a white teenager in a chokehold and tased him after the teen's mother questioned a call at a private high school baseball game. The kid stepped on the officer's foot; the cop hit him in the head with a taser.  Kevin Warsh Becomes New Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh, 56, replaced Jerome Powell as Federal Reserve chair. Warsh looks younger than his age and came from Ohio. Powell remains on the board. Trump praised Warsh in a press conference — then immediately praised President Xi Jinping using the same language, revealing the praise was boilerplate. Interest rate drops expected when the Federal Reserve meets; Connie's new vehicle purchase timing may depend on rate movement. Georgia School Board Election: Paulding County Votes to Rein In District Paulding County voters approved a referendum capping property assessment increases at the inflation rate, forcing the school board to actually vote on millage increases instead of pocketing stealth tax hikes via rising home values. The ballot wording was confusing, but after county Republican leadership posted clarification, it passed. This is a meaningful check on property-tax expansion. Memorial Day Remembrances and Atlanta Radio History Dave honored Will Zapp, a fellow service member and purple heart recipient who died of brain cancer likely caused by Iraq service. The conversation drifted into Atlanta radio nostalgia — Southside Steve, 96 Rock, the American Pie bar on Sunday afternoons. Legends Distillery (which made Southside Steve whiskey) is closing. Terrestrial radio is dying; nobody listens anymore. Barney Frank Dies: 2008 Financial Crisis Architect Congressman Barney Frank died this week. Frank co-authored the Dodd-Frank legislation that enabled the subprime mortgage crisis and the 2008 financial collapse. He packaged bad mortgages together and sold them, leaving borrowers in perpetual uncertainty about who held their loans. Frank was famously disorganized in appearance despite being gay (contrary to stereotype) and ran a gay prostitution ring out of his Washington townhouse. His departure from the Senate improved the institution. Closing Thought: Primary Fatigue Dave is experiencing voter fatigue as Georgia heads into runoff season. Campaign ads have completely cluttered his DVR to the point where he's considering a complete deletion and restart.

Your public confession matters. Melancthon warns that the public confession in the Roman Catholic Church is filled with abuses of the papacy, indulgences, invocation of saints, and celibacy of the priests. He explains that these abuses hide Christ's glory and rob consciences of firm consolation. As the Church battles through the questions of the day, she calls out sin and lack of faith as the LORD does and leans upon the full and sufficient work of Christ for forgiveness. Rev.

Dedicated to American military personnel who died in any war, the Memorial Day holiday pays special tribute to the local militiamen who gave their lives in the opening shots of the Revolution during the Battles of Lexington and Concord in April, 1775 — with unique honor bestowed on the Revolutionary War dead as the foundational heroes of American independence. The American Revolution (1765–1783) was a political conflict involving the Thirteen Colonies and Great Britain, culminating in the American Revolutionary War and the independence of the colonies as the United States.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for May 20, 2026 is: cordial • KOR-jul • adjective Cordial describes someone or something that is politely pleasant and friendly. // All the guests were assembled and given a cordial greeting by the host. See the entry > Examples: “The Burnside post office is a small one-­room wooden building profusely planted with flowers all around it. ... One enters a tiny vestibule and pushes a buzzer, which brings Christine out of the house, brushing by you into the ‘office' proper, where she opens the counter window and, with a smile and a toss of her hair, says, in a cordial tone, ‘Now, my dear, what can I do for you?'” — Robert Finch, Summers in Squid Tickle: A Newfoundland Odyssey, 2025 Did you know? The Latin root cord- (or cor) is at the heart of the connection between cordial, concord (meaning “harmony”), and discord (meaning “conflict”). Cord- means “heart,” and each of these cord- descendants has something to do with the heart, at least figuratively. Concord, which comes from com- (meaning “together” or “with”) plus -cord, suggests that one heart is with another. Discord combines the prefix dis- (meaning “apart”) with -cord to imply that hearts are apart. Hundreds of years ago, cordial could mean simply “of or relating to the (literal) heart” (the -ial is simply an adjective suffix) but today anything described as cordial—be it a friendly welcome, a compliment, or an agreement—comes from the heart in a figurative sense. Cordial is also used as a noun to refer to a usually sweet liqueur, the name being inspired by the idea that a cordial invigorates the heart.

In this episode Adam, Brett, and Jason continue a series studying Article 11 of the Formula of Concord which deals with the topic of God’s eternal foreknowledge by doing a Bible study on Ephesians 1:3-10

Tradition is a buzzword in confessional polemics: Protestants (supposedly) say Scripture only, while Catholics and Orthodox (supposedly) say Scripture-and-Tradition without hierarchical triage between them. Of course, it has never been that simple! Luther and Melanchthon and the Formula of Concord all insist that they were in fact more faithful to the tradition of the church against Roman innovation. Roman Catholics rightly point out all that is not explicit in Scripture and yet adhered to faithfully by the church, including Protestants (e.g. the word “Trinity” or infant baptism). For that matter, Scripture itself is a form of Tradition and full of Tradition—as the opening words of I Corinthians 15 attest, and much biblical scholarship of the past two hundred years has excavated. So what do we even mean by Tradition? How do we judge it or select from it—because everybody in fact does just that? How do we know what is a faithful development from the original apostolic gospel and what is a treacherous deviation? What “principle of critical judgment” or “clear method of discrimination”? David Bentley Hart and his book Tradition and Apocalypse to the rescue! ... maybe.
