Why are Jeffrey Epstein's ties to Israeli intelligence buying actively buried by both the Trump administration and almost all of the mainstream media and alternative media? It's a good question... the silence is deafening.  Well stunning new revelations are coming to Light showing just how deep those ties were. Perhaps that's why we haven't received the Epstein files because it would embarrass a foreign adversary. Almost no one in alternative media is doing actual journalism to get to the bottom of it. Our next guest is Murtaza Hussein from drop site News along with his journalism partner. Ryan Grim have just dropped a few new bombshells on Jeffrey Epstein's ties to foreign intelligence. 

From its nearly three-hour runtime to its deployment of some of the most deranged CGI you've ever seen committed to screen, Radu Jude's DRACULA often feels like an extended act of trolling, but is it art? The answer to that question is inextricable from the film's presentation of AI-derived art as grotesque, inhuman, and unsatisfying, and it makes DRACULA arguably more entertaining to discuss than it is to watch. So after attempting to pull some meaning out of what the critic in 8 1/2 might describe as DRACULA's “series of gratuitous episodes,” we move into Connections for a study in contrasts between Fellini's portrait of an artist struggling to make a personal work, and Jude's evisceration of a charlatan trying to outsource artistry to a machine. Then in Your Next Picture Show, we discuss another film we considered as a DRACULA pairing that may not be quite as celebrated as 8 1/2, but we nonetheless recommend as another depiction of a filmmaker in creative crisis: Christopher Guest's debut feature, THE BIG PICTURE. Please share your thoughts about 8 1/2, DRACULA, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730. Next episode: A celebration of Peter Bogdanovich's THE LAST PICTURE SHOW, and 500 episodes of a niche film podcast named after it.

The number of American adults consuming alcohol fell recently to 54% — the lowest number Gallup has ever recorded since it began tracking alcohol consumption in 1939. Driving the shift away from alcohol is the 18-34 group. As a result, more restaurants and bars are offering alcohol-free drink options. And there are more "third places" that feature menus without alcohol. In a recent piece for CITY Magazine, arts reporter Patrick Hosken wrote about how third places are emerging in Rochester. We discuss the ongoing shift in the local scene with our guests: Patrick Hosken, arts reporter for CITY Magazine Bob Hartman, co-owner of AltBar Shelley Elkovich, founder and "Flavor Maven" of For Bitter For Worse ---Connections is supported by listeners like you.

In this episode of the 10Adventures podcast, we are joined by Cassandra Overby, writer, traveler, and author of Home Base Hiking Europe. Cassandra challenges the traditional “see everything” approach to travel and introduces a more meaningful, grounded model: choosing a single village or valley as your base and exploring through daily hikes. Cassandra shares how her philosophy of slow travel grew out of a “travel breakup” in her twenties and evolved into a new way of moving through Europe — one that prioritizes connection, culture, and authentic local life. She explains why small villages offer richer experiences than tourist hotspots and how travelers can blend hiking, culture, food, and community simply by slowing down. From the Dolomites to the Somme, the Piedmont to Provence, Cassandra walks through some of her favorite home-base regions across Europe — and the unique stories, landscapes, and local interactions that make them come alive. This episode is full of practical insights and deep reflections on how to travel better, notice more, and build real connections along the way.    

The provided audio excerpts feature a speaker discussing a conspiracy theory connecting the recent crash of UPS Flight 2976 with the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and the simultaneous death of Dick Cheney. The speaker points out numerous "coded" correlations, such as the flight number matching the official 9/11 death toll (2976) and the altitude of the crash relating to the second plane that struck the World Trade Center (Flight 175). Furthermore, the speaker links the crash's location (Muhammad Ali airport) and the election of a Muslim mayor in New York City to an alleged pattern of intentional, scripted media events designed to produce irony and symbolism. The speaker rejects the idea that these connections are merely coincidence, suggesting instead that major events are pre-planned simulations orchestrated by the same powerful entities.That is a very interesting request, especially given how much of the source material is focused on examining patterns and connections. It is certainly helpful to isolate the specific claims and observations made by the speaker.Here are five quotes from the source material, followed by a list of the connections the speaker observed:"Flight 2976 UPS crash 2976 911 death toll." (This quote is the speaker's original tweet that drew the connection between the flight number and the number of 9/11 fatalities.)"It's not like the media is objectively just reporting stuff for us. Um, everything has an agenda." (This captures the speaker's core belief about mainstream media reporting.)"What we're suggesting here is this coincidence the result of intentionality? Was it scheduled? Was it faked?" (This clarifies the central question of the speaker's open inquiry into the event.)"To go outside of that box and include other possibilities such as pre-scheduled scripted events. Uh that would be something you would reach with an open mind, open inquiry outside their closed system." (This explains the speaker's view of what constitutes "open-mindedness" regarding major media events.)"No, the purpose of media is to conform you to their prefabricated events." (This defines the speaker's asserted primary function of media.)The speaker uses the term "coincidence" to describe a series of connections between the UPS Flight 2976 crash and the 9/11 events, suggesting that these connections indicate "intentionality," "scheduling," or "scripting".The specific connections noted are:Flight Number/Death Toll Match: The flight number, 2976, matches the official 9/11 death toll (2,976).Altitude Correlation: The plane reached 175 ft. This number correlates with United Airlines Flight 175, which was the second plane to hit the World Trade Center on 9/11.Airport/Hijacker Name: The crash occurred near the Muhammad Ali airport. Muhammad Ata was the lead hijacker in the 9/11 attacks.Contemporaneous Terror Plot: There was a breaking terror plot in Dearborn, Michigan, involving individuals named Muhammad Ali and Muham Mount Moot.Fatalities in Wiki: At one point, the total fatalities listed on the Wiki page for the event was 911 (though the speaker notes it had previously been 411).Dick Cheney's Timing: The crash occurred on the same day that Dick Cheney died. Cheney is noted to have a historical association with 9/11.Visual Symbolism (Plane Hitting Building): The plane crashed into a building, which the speaker notes is reminiscent of the Pentagon or the Twin Towers, along with the subsequent dramatic flames.Visual Symbolism (Faces in Smoke): The side view of the explosion in the Wikipedia article looked like a giant cat face. This is compared to a famous example of a devil face seen in the smoke photography of 9/11.Political/Irony Theme: The crash followed Zohan winning the mayoralty of New York City. This led to a flood of 9/11 imagery and people noticing the irony of New York electing a Muslim mayor followed by a plane hitting a building.5 Selected QuotesList of Coincidences and Connections

I take photos too, but there's a beauty that words can't describe.”Ja: その一言で、リカは心が軽くなりました。En: With that one remark, Rika felt her heart lighten.Ja: 「もう一度、何か作ってみますか？」とリカが提案すると、ケンタはカメラを構え、「もちろん。」と答えました。En: “Shall we try creating something again?” Rika suggested, and Kenta prepared his camera, replying, “Of course.”Ja: 茶屋の中で、リカはケンタをスケッチし、ケンタはリカが絵を描く様子を写真に収めました。En: Inside the chaya, Rika sketched Kenta, while Kenta captured Rika as she drew.Ja: その瞬間、ふたりは共に創作する喜びを見出しました。En: In that moment, they found the joy of creating together.Ja: 夕方になり、紅葉がさらに輝きを増す中、二人は約束しました。En: As evening approached and the autumn leaves shone even brighter, the two made a promise.Ja: 「もっと一緒に新しい作品を作りましょう。」En: "Let's create more new works together."Ja: リカは再び、筆を握る喜びを感じました。En: Rika felt the joy of picking up her brush once again.Ja: 彼女は自信を取り戻し、ケンタは人と繋がることの大切さに気付きました。En: She regained her confidence, and Kenta realized the importance of connecting with people.Ja: 茶屋を後にするふたりの心は、秋の風のように軽やかでした。En: As they left the chaya, their hearts were as light as the autumn wind.Ja: どこか新しい、しかし大切な人生の旅がここから始まったのです。En: From there, a new, yet important, journey in life began.Ja: 和心の茶屋は、またひとつ、新しい絆を育みました。En: The Wagokoro teahouse had once again fostered a new bond.

The Trump administration ended the White House Department of Environmental Justice, which was launched under the Biden administration.

Bridget shares her journey from professional dancer and choreographer to helping people build authentic brands that actually reflect who they are—not who they think they should be. We dig into why branding feels so intimidating, how to give yourself permission to be yourself online, and why perfection is the enemy of connection. Bridget breaks down the difference between personal and business brands, explains when (and if) you should worry about brand consistency, and shares practical advice for creative people who contain multitudes. If you've ever felt paralyzed by the pressure to have perfectly polished brand photos, matching color palettes, or a "professional" online presence, this conversation is for you.Topics discussed:Why branding feels overwhelming and how to give yourself permission to be authenticThe difference between personal and business brands (and what to do when you ARE the business)How minimalism and organization principles apply to brand strategyWhen to update your brand colors, photos, and messaging (spoiler: it's more flexible than you think)Building community through co-working spaces like Write Shit MondaysThe problem with AI-generated brand content and homogenized aestheticsPractical first steps for clarifying your brand based on what you actually want your life to look likeChapters:• 00:14 - Introduction to Bridget Baker• 06:57 - The Intersection of Personal and Business Branding• 12:25 - Evolving Brand Stories• 17:41 - The Role of Minimalism in Branding• 26:28 - The Journey to Website Branding• 37:06 - Exploring Community and Connections• 38:43 - The Evolution of Write Shit Mondays• 46:20 - Understanding Branding FlexibilityAll About BridgetBridget Baker specializes in working with coaches, consultants, therapists, organizers, and overall, people who help people. Her superpower is giving you the permission you need to brand your BIZ the way YOU want to. She's been a minimalist since before it was trendy, and organized her friends' closets for fun as a kid (true story!) Simplifying spaces and creating more room to play are her jam. That, coupled with a background in dance and choreography led her to want to find a way to use both her creative and organizational passions. Sprinkle in some writing and consulting, and over the past 15 years, she's built a business that has given her the flexibility and freedom to work from anywhere. Building brands and websites is the place where she combines all those skills and helps people let go of the cluttered ideas about their brands, and create the space for something they love.Resources mentioned in this episodeWrite Shit Mondays - Bridget's free weekly co-working writing community (every Monday)Bridget's Website - Connect with Bridget for branding and website servicesNoteworthy quotes from this episode"Branding is your behavior.

Send us a textIn this episode, Yvonne and Rafael catch up with Judge David Langham, Deputy Chief Judge of the State of Florida, and a prolific writer, blogger, educator, and speaker. If you're curious about the history of Florida's workers' compensation system, and you want to learn what "stare decisis" is, don't miss our conversation with Judge Langham. He's widely recognized as the leading legal authority on this topic. In addition to a concise and thorough history lesson on the Florida work comp system, we discuss a few other key points specific to Florida. To access books and resources Judge Langham mentioned during the episode, including his free downloadable book: "Floridiana and the Workers' Compensation Adjudicators," visit www.dwlangham.com.Visit his Blogger profile to check out Judge Langham's blogs (there are several). Note: stare decisis is a legal term. According to LexisNexis, it means "to stand by things decided and not disturb settled points." They further explain, "The doctrine of stare decisis, or binding precedent, is the principle by which judges are bound by previous judicial decisions, especially of superior courts. To 'stand by things decided', the basis for the doctrine of precedent, there is no room for further examination or interpretation of a point or principle of law; the court is bound to the reasoning in the prior decision, unless there is a unique exception or the matter is before a higher court."¡Muchas Gracias!

Story Transcript:Sv: Lars drog in den varma, söta doften av bivax och såg sig omkring i det lilla, trivsamma verkstaden på Skansen.En: Lars inhaled the warm, sweet scent of beeswax and looked around the small, cozy workshop at Skansen.Sv: Höstens färger utanför fönstret speglades i de färgglada löven och det kyliga brisen.En: The autumn colors outside the window were mirrored in the colorful leaves and the chilly breeze.Sv: Inne i rummet hördes ett milt skratt.En: Inside the room, a gentle laugh could be heard.Sv: Emma, en livlig reseskribent, hade just gjort entré med sin glada energi och sina skarpa ögon för detaljer.En: Emma, a lively travel writer, had just entered with her vibrant energy and keen eye for detail.Sv: Hon letade efter en autentisk upplevelse att skriva om på sin blogg.En: She was searching for an authentic experience to write about on her blog.Sv: Lars var där av en annan anledning.En: Lars was there for a different reason.Sv: Som en introvert konstnär behövde han hitta inspiration för sitt nästa verk.En: As an introverted artist, he needed to find inspiration for his next piece.Sv: Trots sin tystlåtna natur kände Lars sig dragen till hantverk och konst.En: Despite his quiet nature, Lars felt drawn to crafts and art.Sv: När Nils, den kunnige och skämtsamme verkstadsledaren, hälsade gruppen välkomna, lade han märke till Lars och Emma.En: When Nils, the knowledgeable and witty workshop leader, welcomed the group, he took note of Lars and Emma.Sv: "Idag ska vi göra egna ljus," sa Nils med ett leende.En: "Today we will be making our own candles," said Nils with a smile.Sv: "Och vem vet, kanske hittar ni ljusets magi i processen!"En: "And who knows, maybe you'll find the magic of light in the process!"Sv: Hans humor lätta upp stämningen, och gruppen började arbeta.En: His humor lightened the mood, and the group started working.Sv: Lars och Emma fann sig själva vid samma bord.En: Lars and Emma found themselves at the same table.Sv: I början var de tysta, båda fokuserade på sina mål.En: Initially, they were silent, both focused on their goals.Sv: Lars undrade om han skulle prata med Emma, men hans blyghet gjorde det svårt.En: Lars wondered if he should talk to Emma, but his shyness made it difficult.Sv: Emma, å andra sidan, var så upptagen med att dokumentera allt för sin blogg att hon knappt lade märke till honom.En: Emma, on the other hand, was so busy documenting everything for her blog that she hardly noticed him.Sv: När Nils gick runt och hjälpte deltagarna, kom han till deras bord och visade hur man doppade tråden i det smälta vaxet.En: When Nils went around helping participants, he came to their table and demonstrated how to dip the thread into the melted wax.Sv: Det var då Emma först riktade sitt intresse mot Lars, särskilt när hon såg hans skicklighet.En: It was then that Emma first directed her interest towards Lars, especially when she saw his skill.Sv: Lars bestämde sig för att dela sin kunskap om traditionella hantverk.En: Lars decided to share his knowledge of traditional crafts.Sv: "När jag var barn brukade vi göra ljus med min mormor," började han.En: "When I was a child, we used to make candles with my grandmother," he began.Sv: Emmas ögon lyste upp.En: Emma's eyes lit up.Sv: Hon lade ner sin kamera och började verkligen lyssna.En: She put down her camera and truly began to listen.Sv: Efter några misslyckade försök – och ett botchas ljus som fick dem att skratta otvunget – öppnades en dörr mellan dem.En: After a few failed attempts—and a misshapen candle that made them laugh freely—a door opened between them.Sv: "Jag tror vårt ljus skulle vinna ett pris för kreativitet," skämtade Emma, och Lars nickade med ett leende.En: "I think our candle would win an award for creativity," joked Emma, and Lars nodded with a smile.Sv: Deras skratt drog blickar från de andra deltagarna, men de brydde sig inte.En: Their laughter drew glances from the other participants, but they didn't care.Sv: Det var i det ögonblicket de insåg att det fanns en gemensam grund — förståelsen av konsten och glädjen i processen snarare än slutresultatet.En: It was in that moment they realized there was common ground — the understanding of the art and joy in the process rather than the final result.Sv: När workshopen avslutades bytte Lars och Emma kontaktinformation.En: As the workshop concluded, Lars and Emma exchanged contact information.Sv: "Vi borde träffas igen," sa Emma.En: "We should meet again," said Emma.Sv: "Kanske kan vi utforska mer av Skansen tillsammans?"En: "Perhaps we can explore more of Skansen together?"Sv: Lars kände en ny värme inom sig.En: Lars felt a new warmth within him.Sv: Han hade öppnat sig för en ny kontakt, och Emma kände att balans mellan arbete och njutning var viktig.En: He had opened himself to a new connection, and Emma felt that balance between work and enjoyment was important.Sv: Som de gick ut från verkstaden, med löven prasslande under deras fötter, hade en ny berättelse och ett nytt samarbete tagit sin början.En: As they walked out from the workshop, with leaves rustling beneath their feet, a new story and collaboration had begun.

Research shows young people are reading less — both in their English classes and for pleasure. According to a study from the University of Florida and University College London, daily reading for pleasure among kids is down 40% over the last 20 years. Experts point to an increase in screen time, overscheduling, and poor literacy education as some of the reasons. So how can we get kids interested in reading again? We discuss it with our guests, and we preview the upcoming Rochester Children and Teens Book Festival.

AI political videos are already here — as Pittsford residents saw over the last month.

True Crime Tuesday presents: The Las Vegas Massacre Connections: Finding Strength Through Tragedy with Journalist/Show Host/Author, Mark Gray! On October 1, 2017, Mary Jo von Tillow's world changed forever. Her husband, Kurt, was killed in the Route 91 Harvest Festival mass shooting in Las Vegas, the deadliest in U.S. history. In just eleven minutes, her life-and the lives of thousands of others-were shattered. But what followed was more than grief. Out of devastation came unexpected bonds with other survivors, advocates, and families who knew the same kind of loss. From a 9/11 firefighter who turned his pain into kindness, to a victims' rights attorney who changed national law, to fellow widows and survivors who refused to give up, Mary Jo discovered what it means to carry tragedy together. THE LAS VEGAS MASSACRE CONNECTIONS is both a deeply personal account and a collective portrait of resilience. Through Mark Gray's in-depth reporting and Mary Jo's courage to share her story, this book captures the enduring impact of Route 91 and the human strength that rises after unimaginable loss. On today's TCT, we discuss what happened to Mark on the fateful last night of the Route 91 Harvest Festival, why he revisited that night five years later, how Mary Jo Von Tillow came into his life, and how life brought all the people in this book together and turned trauma and death into new life and new opportunities!

Have you thought about planning for your future — especially when it comes to aging? While 63% of adults say they have had conversations with loved ones about end-of-life issues, fewer than half have translated those thoughts into actions or even plan to make those preparations. That's according to a 2024 survey from AARP. Too often, older adults feel unprepared for these issues until there's a crisis. Assemblymember Sarah Clark is helping to lead the upcoming Empowered Aging Forum. The goal is to assist older adults in making better plans when it comes to handling money, estate plans, health care decisions, and more. We explore all the thorny topics with our guests: Assemblymember Sarah Clark, District 136 Anna Stetzel, director of training and education at Lifespan ---Connections is supported by listeners like you.

Authoritarian governments are harnessing artificial intelligence to undermine democracies. That's according to Bret Schafer, head of the Alliance for Securing Democracy's information manipulation team. Schafer studies how state and non-state actors use AI to create and spread propaganda, and how those efforts affect public opinion. He's in Rochester as a guest of the World Affairs Council, but first, he joins us on "Connections" to discuss how to recognize AI-generated disinformation and what can be done to stop it.

On todays show, Soul Sisters co-hosts Justine and Kylie do battle in a unique competition combining mental and physical challenges. The hosts devise a game inspired by The New York Times mini-games, challenging each other with Wordle, a custom Crossword puzzle, Strands, and Connections, tallying up their completion times for each game. After the puzzle segment, the hosts compare their cumulative game times to their individual times for running one mile, aiming to determine a final winner based on the lowest total time for both the puzzles and the run. The sisters also discuss the hippocampus and the scientific evidence surrounding whether running can improve brain function!Support the showRunningScaredMedia.comVisit our shop to purchase our jogcasts and other merchEmail us at: therunningscaredpodcast@gmail.comFollow us:Instagram @runningscaredmediaJoin our FB Running Group

Send us a textThere's a CPT code out there that's worth about $16 to $20 per visit… and most of you are ignoring it. It's been right in front of us, since early 2024, and yet week after week, we watch practices leave thousands—sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars—on the table.The code is G2211. And if you haven't heard of it—or haven't trained your teams to take it seriously—you're not just missing a code. You're missing a mindset shift. Today, we're going to unpack what G2211 is, how it works, why practices routinely miss it, and what it means to treat coding as a strategy—something that drives margin, drives sustainability, and frankly, keeps your medical group from running harder for less money.But, this episode isn't just about one code. It's about a bigger conversation—one that flips the traditional narrative around coding. Because for too long, we've taught physicians and administrators that coding is all about compliance. Just don't get audited. Just stay safe. Just do the minimum. But what if that mindset is costing us millions? What if playing it so safe is actually making your group financially vulnerable?So let's flip the script. Let's talk about compliance as the floor—not the ceiling. Let's talk about coding for opportunity. Let's talk about G2211 as an example, and why it's your new best friend. Please Follow or Subscribe to get new episodes delivered to you as soon as they drop!

My guest is Dr. David Fajgenbaum, MD, professor of translational medicine and human genetics at the University of Pennsylvania. He explains how, unbeknownst to most doctors, many approved medications can successfully treat or even cure diseases other than the ones they are typically used to treat. He shares his story of escaping death from Castleman's disease by discovering a life-saving treatment using repurposed drugs that were approved for other purposes. Our conversation explores how researchers, physicians, and you—the general public—can explore novel treatments and cures to conditions the medical profession has deemed untreatable, including cancers. We also discuss the crucial role of mindset in battling diseases and the lesser-known use of compounds to promote health and longevity. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.

Episode 391: At dawn on December 26, 2004, a massive undersea earthquake off Sumatra's west coast — one of the strongest ever recorded — triggered a devastating tsunami across the Indian Ocean. Waves up to 30 metres high struck Aceh Province within minutes, then swept across Thailand, Sri Lanka, India, the Maldives, and as far as East Africa. Entire communities vanished, and more than 227,000 people in fourteen countries were killed, making it the deadliest tsunami in recorded history. At least fifteen Canadians lost their lives, and six more were reported missing, most while vacationing in Thailand and Sri Lanka. Survivors described the frantic searches for loved ones and the painful process of identifying and bringing home those who perished. 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami - Wikipedia2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami: Facts and FAQsIndian Ocean tsunami of 2004 | BritannicaSouth Asia: Earthquake and Tsunami - Dec 2004 | ReliefWebThe Night the Earth ShookTsunami - Indian Ocean Boxing Day Tsunami, 2004 | Australian Disaster Resilience Knowledge HubThe Indian Ocean Boxing Day Tsunami, 20 years onTwenty years on: the Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami - British Geological SurveyNOAA Center for Tsunami Research - Tsunami Event - December 26, 2004 The Indian Ocean TsunamiRecovery Collection: 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake and TsunamiWhat are the biggest tsunamis ever?
