Incident Overview ICE agents were conducting operations in Minneapolis when a woman blocked their vehicles and refused repeated commands to exit her car. She allegedly accelerated toward an ICE agent, prompting the officer to fire through the windshield, resulting in her death. The shooting is described as defensive and necessary to prevent harm to law enforcement officers. Context and Escalation The woman had been stalking and obstructing ICE agents throughout the day. It portrays her actions as part of a broader pattern of “political vigilanteism” and domestic terrorism, citing an increase in vehicle ramming attacks against ICE agents. Political Commentary Left-wing activists and Democratic officials are encouraging lawlessness and violence against federal officers. Quotes from officials like Secretary of Homeland Security and political figures are included, reinforcing support for ICE and condemning anti-ICE rhetoric. Statistics and Broader Trends A reported 1,300% increase in assaults and an 8,000% increase in death threats against ICE agents.

From a recent SAND Community Gathering (December 2025). This urgent conversation, facilitated by Ashira Darwish and rooted in Haidar Eid's new book Banging on the Walls of the Tank, moves through the fractured present of Gaza, bringing forth a chorus of resistance, mourning, refusal, and clarity. This is a dispatch from within the rubble, the classroom, the lull between airstrikes. Together. Eid and Darwish hold the line inside the unbearable: the grief of ongoing genocide and the insistence on liberation; the impossibility of hope and the necessity of imagining otherwise. Their conversation refuses erasure, insists on dignity, and carries the clarity of those living under siege with purpose and memory intact. This conversation carries the vibration of Gaza's resistance outward, inviting listeners not just to witness, but to respond.

Content design for AI agents Christopher Greer has been creating cool content design resources for years, but his latest is a real accomplishment: a Claude Skill that hooks into Figma and critiques UX writing. It turns out Chris is quite optimistic about the state of the content design market. We talk about his work at Stripe, what it actually means to design content for AI agents and internal systems - not chatbots for end users, but the infrastructure, context, and governance that sit behind them. Chris shares how content design skills translate directly into agent design, why context management is now a core capability, and how content designers can scale their influence by working closer to engineering and systems. What we talked about: ✅ Why content design skills map closely to designing AI agents and systems ✅ Context management, "context rot," and why structure matters more than prompts ✅ How content designers can scale influence through internal tools and governance ✅ Working as a content designer inside an engineering-led company like Stripe ✅ What Chris learned building and open-sourcing a Claude skill for UX writing critique ✅ Why GitHub and version control are becoming practical skills for content designers ✅ The risks AI poses to junior roles, and the strategic work that won't disappear ✅ Why qualitative judgment, taste, and human evaluation still matter Where to find Chris: LinkedIn Chris's blog Chris's Claude Skill

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Chad Montrie. A historian at the University of Massachusetts at Lowell, Montrie is classified as a White Man and his research interests include: “'Blackface' Minstrelsy, Racial Exclusion, and Labor Environmentalism.” Gus is slowly learning a great deal about the history and import of Racially Restricted Regions (so-called “sundown towns”). Locations where White people deliberately prohibit black people from residing or even visiting illustrate what it means to be racially classified as White and the intentional White labor necessary to maintain a global system of domination. We'll discuss Montrie's 2022 publication, Whiteness in Plain View: A History of Racial Exclusion in Minnesota. This text examines how generations of Whites in this region functioned to make sure very few black people made it that for north. This text contains a great deal about minstrel shows and caging black people in insane asylums. We even connect this history to the current Racist attacks against Somali immigrants and remember that a number of those White Terrorists who stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021traveled from Minnesota. Many Welsing moments throughout this broadcast. Please, share this podcast and Dr. Montrie's book with Timberwolves' guard Anthony Edwards. #NoSomalis #TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

Ghislaine Maxwell filed a **civil lawsuit against the Jeffrey Epstein estate in the U.S. Virgin Islands in 2020 seeking reimbursement and indemnification for the massive legal costs she has incurred defending herself against multiple civil claims tied to her association with Epstein. In her complaint, Maxwell argued that Epstein had made “clear and unambiguous” promises to financially support her — including covering her legal fees — based on their years-long personal and professional relationship, during which she managed many of his properties and affairs. She also asserted that she has faced ongoing death threats and substantial personal security expenses as a result of the public notoriety and allegations against her, and therefore the estate should cover those costs as well.Maxwell denied any involvement in Epstein's criminal misconduct and positioned her claim as one of employment and contractual obligation, insisting that her role as his manager and confidante created a duty on the estate's part to indemnify her. Her lawsuit was essentially a fight to shift the financial burden of defending against lawsuits and personal security needs to Epstein's estate — even as many of those suits accused her of playing a key role in facilitating Epstein's sexual trafficking scheme. The case drew sharp criticism from survivors, some of whom viewed it as an attempt to evade responsibility and profit from legal processes tied to the very harms they endured..to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

How do we guide the next generation when their world is digital, fast-changing, and often confusing for adults?In this episode, Michael Easley sits down with sociologist Dr. Josh Packard to unpack the surprising truth: you don't need to master every platform or trend to meaningfully influence teens. You need presence, curiosity, and listening.Together they explore why today's teens feel digitally confident yet relationally insecure, how this tension shapes their everyday lives, and what caring adults can do to build trust in a world full of noise. If you're a parent, pastor, mentor, or leader investing in Gen Z or Gen Alpha, this conversation will reshape the way you think about discipleship and connection.What You'll Learn- Why adults don't need to “keep up” with technology to guide teens- How the digital confidence vs. relational insecurity gap impacts students- Why listening is often more powerful than teaching- The shift from “truth → trust → time” to “time → trust → truth”- Practical ways to engage the next generation with presence and consistencyChapters00:00 Introduction and Context of the Conversation07:31 Understanding Generational Differences13:16 The Role of Trust in Ministry18:53 Sacred Listening and Relational Ministry23:32 Growing Up Online: The Impact of Social Media27:34 Navigating Teen Social Media Spaces31:18 Understanding the Digital Generation35:02 Curiosity Over Expertise in Youth Engagement38:48 Building Trust Through Presence43:00 Cognitive Dissonance in the Digital Age47:57 The Challenge of Information Overload52:15 The Power of Listening and Curiosity Links Mentioned Faithful Futures by Dr. Josh Packard Watch the highlights and full version of this interview on our Youtube channel.

When you need a word from the Lord but feel like you can't hear Him, what do you do? In this episode of the Jaime Luce Podcast, I spend time in 2 Kings chapter 3 looking at what it really means to hear God's voice when emotions are loud and the pressure is high. Through the story of Elisha and three kings facing a desperate situation in the wilderness, we see why positioning ourselves in God's presence matters more than rushing for an answer. I talk about: Why emotional noise can block spiritual clarityWhat Elisha teaches us about waiting on GodHow worship, stillness, and patience prepare us to hear God clearlyThe difference between urgency and obedienceWhy slowing down is sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do If you've been praying for direction and feel stuck or overwhelmed, this episode will help you understand how to quiet your soul and create space to hear what God is saying. Take time to listen, reflect, and wait on the Lord with me as we learn how to hear His voice without fear.
Mastery is not a gift handed to the “talented", it's a ruthless process: time, patience, humility, apprenticeship, and the emotional control to not quit when it gets boring.

The AI Breakdown: Daily Artificial Intelligence News and Discussions
Why “context graphs” have suddenly become one of the most important ideas in enterprise AI, and what they reveal about why agents fail or succeed at real work. This episode explains the core idea behind context graphs, how they differ from systems of record and knowledge graphs, and why capturing decision traces — the why, not just the what — may be the key to scalable autonomy inside organizations. In the headlines: AI wearables make another run at relevance, China reports early success using AI for cancer detection, X faces global backlash over Grok moderation failures, and Yann LeCun publicly breaks with Meta's AI strategy.

Images of overrun apartment buildings in Colorado -- and severed fingers -- landed in the president's Venezuela speech over the weekend, part of Donald Trump's justification for his actions in Venezuela. Justice reporter Allison Sherry provides some context. Then, Colorado had to try hard to become a state. It took five attempts over two decades. In time for this year's sesquicentennial, History Colorado lays out the saga. Also, four generations of the Gresham family have weathered blizzards, drought and long nights in the calving barn -- all on the same land for more than a century. The Gresham Farm was recently named a Centennial Farm. And, Ski Mountaineering is new at this year's Olympics. The games take place in February in Italy. Crested Butte's Cam Smith will be there.
In this episode, Kelsi Sheren discusses the recent U.S. military operation in Venezuela that resulted in the removal of President Nicolás Maduro. She explores the implications of this action for Canada, particularly regarding its energy sector and geopolitical standing. Kelsi argues that Canada has lost significant leverage over the U.S. and faces challenges in competing with Venezuelan oil. The conversation highlights the need for Canada to reassess its energy strategies and the potential consequences of its current political decisions.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Context of the Situation03:02 U.S. Military Action in Venezuela05:52 Implications for Canada's Energy Sector12:13 Canada's Position on the Global Stage - - - - - - - - - - - -One Time Donation! - Paypal - https://paypal.me/brassandunityBuy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@thekelsisherenperspectiveInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsiBurnsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kelsie_sheren/Substack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenTikTok - https://x.com/KelsiBurnsListen on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/1O3yiobOjThKHtqyjviy1a?si=6c78bdc2325a43aeSUPPORT OUR SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - -MasterPeace - 10% off with code KELSI - MasterPeace.Health/KelsiKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://brassandunity.com- - - - - - - - - - - - -CHARITYHeroic Hearts Project - https://www.heroicheartsproject.orgDefenders of Freedom - https://www.defendersoffreedom.usBoot Campaign - https://bootcampaign.org

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly Compensatory Call-In 01/03/26. We encourage non-white listeners to dial in with their codified concepts, new terms, observations, research findings, workplace problems or triumphs, and/or suggestions on how best to Replace White Supremacy With Justice ASAP. This weekly broadcast examines current events from across the globe to learn what's happening in all areas of people activity. We cultivate Counter-Racist Media Literacy by scrutinizing journalists' word choices and using logic to deconstruct what is reported as "news." We'll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth, neutralize Racists/White people. #ANTIBLACKNESS On the opening weekend of 2026, President Donald Trump abducted Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, and charged him with "narco-terrorism" and conspiracy drug trafficking. Trump told the wold that "we are going to run" Venezuela and we're going to take over their lucrative oil operations. Whites around the world have branded this a flagrant violation of international law. These historic events helped Gus recognize that Mr. Maduro is not accepted as White. In the continential US, Somali Day Centers are facing allegations of fraud instigated by a 23-year-old White YouTube creator known as Nick Shirley. These non-white people (Africans) now report being subject to threats and Racist torment. Pres Trump froze child welfare subsidies to Minnesota and eventually all 50 states in response to Shirley's YouTube posts. In some areas of the world, the decline in reading is being branded a "national security threat" that leaves the non-literate more vulnerable to deception. In San Francisco, White people continue to mourn the passing of Claude The Albino Alligator. #NarcoTerrorism #Domination #TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

The Context of White Supremacy (C.O.W.S.) Radio Program hosts the weekly summit on Neutralizing Workplace Racism 01/01/26. On the opening day of the new year, ominous forecasts in the Financial Times and other outlets predict more jobs lost to technology. Tellingly, some reports anticipate jobs being lost regardless of how well the new technology performs. We'll also review the importance of checking your employee handbook. Some jobs mandate that workers submit to drug or alcohol testing, body searches or other invasive security measures. It's always best to know these policies in advance - maybe before you take the job. And we get another reminder that Victims of Racism can see what you do in the workplace, and might pick up your habits - for better or worse. #AITookMyJob #TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

Across 152 conversations this year, a set of recurring patterns kept surfacing, regardless of whether the discussion focused on application security, software supply chain risk, AI systems, or creative work. The industries varied. The roles varied. The challenges did not.One theme rises above the rest: visibility remains the foundation of everything else, yet organizations continue to accept blind spots as normal. Asset inventories are incomplete. Build systems are poorly understood. Dependencies change faster than teams can track them. The issue is not a lack of tools. It is a willingness to tolerate uncertainty because discovery feels hard or disruptive.Another pattern is equally consistent. Integration matters more than novelty. New features, including AI-driven ones, sound compelling until they fail to connect with what teams already rely on. Security programs fracture when tools operate in isolation. Coverage looks strong on paper while gaps quietly expand in practice. When tools fail to integrate into existing environments, they create complexity instead of reducing risk.Security also continues to struggle with how it shows up in daily work. Programs succeed when security is embedded into workflows, automated where possible, and invisible until it matters. They fail when security acts as a gate that arrives after decisions are already made. Teams either adopt security naturally or route around it entirely. There is no neutral middle ground.Context repeatedly separates effective leadership from noise. Risk only becomes meaningful when it is framed in terms of business operations, delivery speed, and real tradeoffs. Leaders who understand how the business actually functions communicate risk clearly and make better decisions under pressure.Finally, creativity remains undervalued in security conversations. Automation should remove repetitive tasks so people can focus on judgment, problem solving, and design. The same mindset that produces elegant guitars, photographs, or products applies directly to building resilient security programs.These five patterns are not independent ideas. Together, they describe a shift toward security that is visible, integrated, contextual, workflow-driven, and human-centered.Read the full article: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/five-patterns-from-152-podcast-episodes-2025-changed-i-martin-cissp-st1ge________This story represents the results of an interactive collaboration between Human Cognition and Artificial Intelligence.Enjoy, think, share with others, and subscribe to "The Future of Cybersecurity" newsletter on LinkedIn: https://itspm.ag/future-of-cybersecuritySincerely, Sean Martin and TAPE9________Sean Martin is a life-long musician and the host of the Music Evolves Podcast; a career technologist, cybersecurity professional, and host of the Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast; and is also the co-host of the On Location Event Coverage Podcast.

Wednesday, 31 December 2025 And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed.” Matthew 15:22 “And you behold! A Canaanite woman from those same borders, having come, she croaked to Him, saying, ‘You compassionate me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter, she is demon-possessed badly'” (CG). In the previous verse, Jesus left the land of the Gennesaret and departed to the allotments of Tyre and Sidon. With Him there, Matthew next records, “And you behold! A Canaanite woman.” This is the only time that the word Chananaios, Canaanite, is seen in the New Testament. That is derived from Chanaan, Canaan, found twice in Acts. This was the early name of the land of Israel, having been named after Canaan, the grandson of Noah through Ham. The meaning of the name Canaan (Hebrew kna'an) is debated. It is variously translated as Land of Purple, Low, Merchant, etc. The likely meaning is Low, Abased, Humble, Humiliated, something along these lines. This is based on the account of Genesis 9, where Canaan is first mentioned. In Mark, it says of this same woman that she “was a Greek, a Syro-Phoenician by birth.” There is no contradiction in this. Syro-Phonecia is the area, and the term “Greek” is being applied as we might when we say of a person from Germany, “He is a European.” One is a wider explanation of a more precise designation. Albert Barnes provides the historical understanding – “In ancient times, the whole land, including Tyre and Sidon, was in the possession of the Canaanites, and called Canaan. The Phoenicians were descended from the Canaanites. The country, including Tyre and Sidon, was called Phoenicia, or Syro-Phoenicia. That country was taken by the Greeks under Alexander the Great, and those cities, in the time of Christ, were Greek cities. This woman was therefore a Gentile, living under the Greek government, and probably speaking the Greek language. She was by birth a Syro-Phoenician, born in that country, and descended, therefore, from the ancient Canaanites. All these names might, with propriety, be given to her.” Of this woman of Canaan, it next says, “from those same borders.” The meaning is based on the previous verse, that it is the “allotments – Tyre and Sidon.” Understanding this, Matthew continues, saying, “having come, she croaked to Him, saying, ‘You compassionate me, Lord, Son of David!'” Nothing is said about how she knew of Jesus, but it is apparent that His fame had extended far and wide. In both Mark and Luke, by this time in the narrative, it was already acknowledged that people from Tyre and Sidon had come to see Jesus (Mark 3:8 and Luke 6:17). Thus, Jewish residents of that area had already gone to see Jesus, returned, and spoken of the things they saw. Now, knowing He was in the area and understanding that He was the promised Messiah, indicated by the words “Son of David,” this Canaanite woman begs for compassion to be extended even to her, a Gentile. But more, she is of the cursed line of Canaan. This is based on Noah's cursing of Canaan for what Ham did to him in Genesis 9. The last thing a person of such lineage might expect from the Jewish Messiah would be compassion. And yet, she faithfully came forward in hopeful expectation that He might listen to her plea, which was, “My daughter, she is demon-possessed badly.” This woman, having heard of Jesus' capabilities, has placed the situation concerning her demon-possessed daughter in the hands of Jesus, hoping He will respond and cure her. Her faith is on prominent display, even if the level of it is not yet revealed. Life application: In commentaries on this verse, both Cambridge and Vincent's Word Studies say something similar – “...out of the same coasts] Literally, those coasts. Jesus did not himself pass beyond the borders of Galilee, but this instance of mercy extended to a Gentile points to the wide diffusion of the Gospel beyond the Jewish race.” Cambridge “Lit., as Rev., from those borders; i.e., she crossed from Phoenicia into Galilee.” They cannot accept that Jesus traveled outside of Galilee. This, despite two different words having been used to describe His going there. The first was in verse 21, where Jesus is said to have traveled to the “allotments – Tyre and Sidon.” The second, in verse 22, says “from those same borders,” meaning she was born, raised, and lived in the same area where Jesus had traveled to. These scholars got it stuck in their heads that Jesus never left the area of Galilee based on what it says when He charged His disciples not to go in the way of the Gentiles and by His words that will say that He was sent to minister only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Because of this, their faulty deduction is that “Jesus never left the Galilee.” Both of those statements were addressed in the comments of verse 15:21. It explicitly says Jesus traveled to this area. But once we have a presupposition stuck in our head, cognitive dissonance takes over, and we will do anything to justify falling in line with what we want the text to say. What do you believe about the timing of the rapture? Have you got that in your head because of what you were taught? If so, the chances are that you will argue that point regardless of what the Bible actually says. That is unwise. We must be willing to acknowledge that we could be wrong. Be sure to keep all things in their proper context. This is of paramount importance. From there, be willing to accept that what you think is true might be wrong. After that, do your study and don't violate the “context” issue if you find you might have been wrong. This is what most people do when faced with the reality that things aren't matching up with what they thought. Context is king. So keep everything in its proper context. From there, stick to it at all times. Your doctrine will improve as long as you stick to what is said, regardless of what you think you know. Lord God, none of us wants to be proven wrong. And none of us wants to betray the teachings that we received from a beloved pastor or teacher by contradicting what they taught us. And so, we put up a defense against change. Help us not to do this. May we be willing to go where Your word teaches, regardless of whether we find we were wrong. Help us to have this attitude at all times. Amen.

We know from both Jewish and secular sources, that 2,500 years ago the Babylonians led by Nevuchadnezar, besieged Jerusalem on this day. Two years later the Temple was destroyed. But what events led to this moment? And why was the path of the prophet Yirmiyahu's life so dangerous? As importantly how do we, in our days, feel a connection to the message and the narrative? 10th Teves is also designated as a day of mourning, for all those who do not know the date or the fate of their family's passing during the Holocaust, and this episode will feature the unusual story of a young child in the partisans.

Do some stories or laws in the Bible have you stumped?In this special Q&A episode, we tackle your hardest biblical questions from why innocent people face consequences for others' sins to how Jesus' genealogy proves his Davidic lineage through both Mary and Joseph. We explore controversial Old Testament laws about rape and marriage, unpack the cultural context behind family punishment in ancient Israel, and reveal why Satan appears less frequently in Old Testament books compared to the New Testament. You'll discover surprising answers about Joseph's Egyptian wife, the evil spirit that tormented King Saul, and how to study scripture like a theologian.Podcast themes:Context transforms understanding. When we understand the cultural and historical context of difficult biblical passages, God's justice and protection come into clearer focus. So when stories seem harsh or unfair, look at them as an invitation to dive deeper and seek the true nature of God who is just, patient, and intentional from Genesis to Revelation. God's plan leaves no room for doubt. The dual genealogies of Jesus in Matthew and Luke aren't contradictions. They're confirmation. One traces Joseph's legal lineage, the other Mary's biological line, both converging at King David to prove Jesus fulfills messianic prophecy completely.Satan's influence has always existed, even when unnamed. Just because "Satan" isn't mentioned by name frequently in the Old Testament doesn't mean spiritual warfare wasn't happening. The adversary operated throughout biblical history, sometimes through direct attack when God withdrew His protection.Show notes:Genealogy of JesusWe love feedback, but can't reply without your email address.

Show Notes: Remco Visser talks about Saga, an AI product used by 150 law firms. Remco explains that Saga is a legal AI innovation company helping law firms and legal departments implement AI into their practice and daily workflows. AI Training and Integration The platform includes AI training and adoption sessions to help firms integrate AI into their daily practices. However, Remco highlights the importance of understanding the viability space where AI can be effectively used if the firm is not yet ready for full AI implementation. Saga helps firms understand when AI integration is the best option and offers training on using AI in the workflow. He talks about LLMs and more standard software options Demonstrating Saga Remco demonstrates the AI platform's ability to draft legal documents, using an NDA as an example. The platform automatically recognizes when a user wants to draft a document and opens a window for AI-generated documents, and he shows the platform's ability to ask follow-up questions for customization, such as what country state law should govern it? What's the main purpose? How long do you want it to last? Remco explains the platform's new updates require more context to draft accurate documents. The Saga Prompt Improver Remco introduces the concept of a prompt improver that automatically improves prompts for users. The platform can suggest variables for users to fill in, making it easier to draft accurate documents. To highlight the program's efficiency, he gives an example of a prompt improved by the platform. Remco emphasizes the importance of providing context, such as jurisdiction and language, to improve the accuracy of AI-generated documents. He explains how the prompts can be stored in the Prompt Library improver and how the Saga lab tests and shares prompts for customers to access. Saga Use Cases Remco discusses various use cases, including drafting letters of intent and reviewing agreements, and mentions that people with no legal experience can use it. The platform can use templates and attach documents to draft comprehensive legal documents. Remco demonstrates the ability to redline documents and suggest changes based on templates. The platform can also assist with litigation by drafting arguments, memos, and letters, and providing detailed timelines. Saga's Assistance Roles Remco explains the concept of assistance roles, such as devil's advocate, contract assistant, and legal research assistant. These roles help users challenge their arguments and improve their legal strategies. Data Accuracy and AI Hallucinations Remco addresses the issue of hallucinations in AI-generated documents, explaining how Saga mitigates this risk. The platform uses citations and reasoning models to ensure the accuracy of generated documents. He demonstrates the various assistant models available from proofreader and tax authority to Judge and goes into detail on how to check citations and ensure data is accurate. Saga's Implementation Process Remco outlines the implementation process for firms, recommending starting with a smaller group for training. The training program includes sessions on AI basics, prompting, workflows, and legal databases. Firms can also bring practice groups together to brainstorm AI use cases and share information. Remco emphasizes the importance of hands-on exercises during training to ensure users understand how to use the platform effectively. Time-saving Features and Pricing Remco explains that Saga charges per seat per month, with a price of 125 euros per user. Firms save an average of four to five hours a week and see an improvement in work quality, especially for juniors. The platform is designed to be a no-brainer for firms looking to improve efficiency and quality in legal work. He acknowledges the challenges of implementing new software but believes the value proposition is clear. Grid Review Feature Remco demonstrates the grid review feature, which extracts information from documents and provides detailed insights. The platform can handle various types of documents, such as lease agreements, Chamber of Commerce extractions, and shareholders agreements. The grid review feature highlights the context around extracted information, providing a comprehensive understanding. In conclusion, Remco emphasizes the platform's ability to save time and improve the accuracy of legal reviews.

We've pulled together 4 of the most powerful, no-BS moments from past Body Bangin' episodes, the kind of insights that shift how you think, lead, and grow.Here's what's inside:#97 — Stars vs. Hamsters (with Robert Snook) → Are you working on "Context" or just "Content"? Robert breaks down the difference between the "Stars" who grow and the "Hamsters" stuck on the revenue wheel. Plus, the "So What?" test: why meeting standard expectations gets you zero loyalty .#96 — Be Extraordinary (with Mike Anderson) → "Nobody notices normal." Mike Anderson shares a game-changing story about a Lexus dealership that knew a customer's Starbucks order before he walked in the door. The lesson? Know the person before you know the car .#85 — Grow Your Own Technicians (with Ron Reichen & Barry Dorn) → Stop looking for "plug and play" staff.

(with Andrew Batenhorst) → Mediocrity spreads like a virus. Andrew delivers a mic-drop moment on leadership: If you let people show up late or do poor work, you are setting the standard that it's okay.

In Episode 11 of Q After Hours, Alpha Warrior, Brad Zerbo, and Josh Reid host an open, free-flowing discussion centered on Q posts, historical context, and ongoing pattern recognition. The episode moves organically through interpretations of Q material, current observations, and audience-driven questions, emphasizing collaborative analysis rather than definitive conclusions. The hosts discuss how past drops connect to present circumstances, why timing and context matter, and how disinformation and misinterpretation can derail understanding. Listener participation plays a key role, shaping the conversation as the panel responds in real time to comments and prompts deeper examination. True to the Q After Hours format, the episode remains conversational and exploratory, encouraging critical thinking, discernment, and independent research rather than passive consumption.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly Compensatory Call-In 12/27/25. We encourage non-white listeners to dial in with their codified concepts, new terms, observations, research findings, workplace problems or triumphs, and/or suggestions on how best to Replace White Supremacy With Justice ASAP. This weekly broadcast examines current events from across the globe to learn what's happening in all areas of people activity. We cultivate Counter-Racist Media Literacy by scrutinizing journalists' word choices and using logic to deconstruct what is reported as "news." We'll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth, neutralize Racists/White people. #ANTIBLACKNESS Headed into the final weekend of 2025, President Donald J. Trump launched an attack on the area of the world known as Nigeria. Pres. Trump chose December 25th as the appropriate day to announce coordinated violence against the "ISIS Terrorist Scum" who've alleged hounded Christians (White people?) for years. Nigeria is one area of the world Gus has encouraged non-white people to study because of their enormous population of black people - which is exponentially increasing. We'll also review a recently released reports that suggests teenagers who consume even a small amount of cannabis experience decreased academic performance. This contradicts what many C.O.W.S.'s listeners insisted when they disputed Dr. Frances Cress Welsing, medical doctor, for discouraging cannabis consumption. #EndStageWhiteSupremacy #NoTHCForTeens # INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#
