This week, Shaun is going to keep the Ghibli momentum rolling as we watch the spin-off of last week's movie with The Cat Returns. Will this sequel live up to the original film's promise, or will we wind up with a direct-to-VHS disappointment? Meanwhile Remington debates the cost of a feline exorcism.

On a new edition of Weekend Conversations on ⁠⁠⁠⁠The Elevate Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠, host Robert Glazer and producer Mick Sloan discuss the importance of decoupling behavior from context when holding people accountable. Robert and Mick discuss why unacceptable behavior should be unacceptable no matter what the justification is, and that while context can matter in assigning consequences, it should not be used to separate right from wrong. ⁠⁠⁠⁠Friday Forward - Blind Accountability (#499)⁠⁠⁠ Thank you to the sponsors of The Elevate Podcast Shopify: ⁠⁠⁠⁠shopify.com/elevate⁠⁠⁠⁠ Indeed: ⁠⁠⁠⁠indeed.com/elevate⁠⁠⁠⁠ Found: ⁠⁠⁠⁠found.com/elevate⁠⁠⁠⁠ Fabric: ⁠⁠⁠⁠meetfabric.com/elevate⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly summit on Neutralizing Workplace Racism 08/28/25 Today marks 70 years to the date when Emmett Louis Till was lynched in Money, Mississippi. It also marks 62 years since the Dr. Martin Luther King's "March On Washington" which was also under surveillance by federal troops. This week we'll examine a WABE segment by Rose Scott offers a sober dialog on the "crisis" of black female unemployment. Gus T. and others highlight that this is another example of mainstream media outlets discussing Racism and Labor while excluding black males from the conversation. The unemployment rate for black males remains over 7%, which is higher than black female unemployment. In spite of this omission, the Ms. Scott's panel had a number of insightful comments and suggestions for dealing with sudden, unplanned for job loss. We also had a number of grand suggestions and applications of workplace codification from listeners. #EndStageWhiteSupremacy INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: http://cash.app/$TheCOWS Call: 720.716.7300 Code: 564943#

America's AI action plan … “Winning the AI race” has just been announced. What is it all about? What are the implications? How will the rest of the world react?

PedroWelcome to episode 68 of Tech Deciphered. This episode will focus on America's AI action plan, winning the AI race, which has just been announced a couple of weeks in by President Trump in the White House. Today, we'll be discussing the pillars of this plan, from pillar I, the acceleration of AI innovation, to pillar II, building of American AI infrastructure, to pillar III, leading in international AI diplomacy and security.We'll also further contextualise it, as well as compare the approaches between the US Action plan, and what we see from the EU and China strategy at this point in time. We'll finalise with implications and synthesis. Bertrand, is this a watershed moment for the industry? Is this the moment we were all waiting for in terms of clarity for AI in the US?Bertrand SchmittYeah, that's a great question. I must say I'm quite excited. I'm not sure I can remember anything like it since basically John F. Kennedy announcing the race to go to the moon in the early '60s. It feels, as you say, a watershed moment because suddenly you can see that there is a grand vision, a grand plan, that AI is not just important, but critical to the future success of America. It looks like the White House is putting all the ducks in order in order to make it happen. There is, like in the '60s with JFK, a realisation that there is an adversary, there is a competitor, and you want to beat them to that race. Except this time it's not Russia, it's China. A lot of similarities, I would say.Nuno G. PedroYeah. It seems relatively comprehensive. Obviously, we'll deep dive into it today across a variety of elements like regulation, investments, view in relation to exports and imports and the rest of the world. So, relatively comprehensive from what we can see. Obviously, we don't know all the details. We know from the announcement that the plan has identified 90 federal policy actions across the three pillars. Obviously, we'll see how these come into practice over the next few months, few years.To your point, it is a defining moment. It feels a little bit like the space race of '60s, et cetera. It's probably warranted. We know that, obviously, AI platforms, AI services and products are changing the world as we speak. It's pretty important to figure out what is the US response to it.Also interesting to know that we normally don't talk about the US too much in terms of industrial policy. The US seems to have a private sector that, in and of itself, actually stands up to the game, and in particular in tech and high-tech, normally fulfils or fills the gaps that are introduced by big generational shifts in terms of technology. But in this case, there seems to be an industrial policy. This seems to set the stage for that industrial policy and how it moves forward,

In this special crossover episode of Men of Steel, we kick off a two-part team-up with the Long Live the Legion podcast! We're diving into “Foundations,” the early 2000s arc from The Legion—with special guests Jim and Jay from LLtL and the artist of the arc himself, Chris Batista! Together, we explore Superman's legacy in the 31st century, the evolving identity of the Legion, and what it was like illustrating this future-forward storyline. Part 2 continues on Long Live the Legion—don't miss it! Overview Case Aiken introduces crossover episode, featuring Jmike Folson, Jim Fetters, Jay McKiernan, and Chris Batista discussing the Legion of Superheroes 'Foundations' arc, celebrating its 45th anniversary. The plot centers on Darkseid snatching people from time to harness dark matter, with the Legion uncovering Superboy during the investigation. DNA (Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning) established as the core writing team; their earlier success with Marvel's cosmic stories enhances credibility. Chris Batista expresses concern over technology portrayal, advocating for a more advanced depiction of the Legion compared to Justice League. The Legion World headquarters is praised for its futuristic elements like replicated home worlds and teleportation gates. Despite rising sales and positive fan response, the series faced cancellation, causing frustration as issue 25 became the second-best selling of the series with a 25% readership increase. Character designs for the Servants of Darkness were mostly created by Chris Batista, with a conscious effort to maintain Kirby's aesthetic. Superboy's dual role as both Legion member and connection to Titans was anticipated, reflecting long-time fan expectations for character involvement. Kid Quantum is recognized as the first female leader of color in the Legion, showcasing character dynamics and development alongside Cosmic Boy. The evolution of Superboy's design aimed to match Teen Titans appearances, highlighting editorial influence on character aesthetics.   Notes ️ Podcast Introduction and Setup (00:00 - 02:09) Case Aiken introduces the Men of Steel podcast crossover episode with Long Live the Legion podcast, featuring co-host Jmike Folson and guests Jim Fetters, Jay McKiernan, and artist Chris Batista. Discussion focuses on Legion of Superheroes 'Foundations' arc, specifically issue 25 which serves as both story continuation and 45th anniversary celebration. Chris Batista reveals behind-the-scenes details about working as lead artist on the arc, noting DC doesn't produce this Legion continuity anymore so he can speak freely. Story Overview and Context (02:09 - 09:54) Jmike Folson summarizes the Foundations plot: people being snatched from time by Darkseid to steal dark matter for restarting Apokolips, with Legion discovering Superboy during investigation of warp phantoms. DNA (Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning) established as the writing team, with connections drawn to their later successful Marvel cosmic work including Guardians of the Galaxy. Legion Lost miniseries and Legion Worlds established crucial backstory, with 25 issues of world-building leading to this commemorative arc. ️ Technology and World-Building Discussion (09:54 - 16:05) Chris Batista expresses frustration with Paul Levitz rejecting advanced technology concepts for Legion, arguing they should appear far more advanced than Justice League. Legion World headquarters praised as major advancement - a planet with replicated home worlds and teleportation gates, making Legion feel appropriately futuristic. Discussion of how DNA run embraced technological advancement while previous runs kept Legion at similar tech level to 20th century heroes. Character Design and Development (01:01:03 - 01:24:10) Chris reveals Servants of Darkness designs were largely his creation except for Orion, with specific mentions of including Firestorm, White Martian, Lobo, Green Lantern, and Big Barda. Orion design intentionally modeled after Destroyer from Thor, maintaining Kirby aesthetic while creating intimidating servant appearance. Invisible Kid and Brainiac 5 romantic moment revealed as editor Steve Wacker's spontaneous addition 'just to mess with fans' - became lasting fan discussion point. Publishing History and Cancellation (01:24:16 - 01:59:06) Series cancellation explained as sudden higher-up decision despite rising sales and positive fan response to Superboy addition. Issue 25 was second-best selling of entire series with 25% increase in readership, making cancellation timing particularly frustrating. Original plans included Superboy remaining in both Legion and Titans simultaneously, with extensive story arcs planned for Element Lad return and Lightning Lad separation. Artist Collaboration and Creative Process (20:40 - 01:19:06) Chris describes working relationship with DNA as collaborative, with writers trusting him to design new characters like Legion cadets and including Easter eggs like Kent Shakespeare and Polar Boy. Multiple pencillers used for issue 25 to handle commemorative scope, with each artist assigned specific character groups to avoid overlap. Coloring technology evolution discussed, with modern computer coloring providing more tools but potentially reducing creative necessity of older 64-color process limitations. ⏳ Superman Connection and Time Travel Elements (34:02 - 01:54:06) Clark Kent and 90s Superboy both featured as characters pulled from time, with Clark becoming servant of darkness while Superboy joins Legion. Superboy wears classic costume with Legion belt buckle addition, fulfilling long-time fan expectations while serving story purposes. Time dilation plot involves universe getting smaller and past being erased, though hosts acknowledge the temporal mechanics don't fully make sense. Character Relationships and Dynamics (46:03 - 01:30:24) Mech (Lightning Lord) rehabilitation storyline discussed as more complex than typical villain treatment, showing struggle between evil nature and love for siblings. Kid Quantum established as Legion's first female leader of color, with organic romantic relationship with Cosmic Boy developing throughout arc. Livewire/Element Lad fusion creates extremely powerful character combining lightning abilities with matter transmutation in crystalline body. Technical and Production Details (01:36:23 - 01:51:38) Secret Files issue placement in continuity questioned due to timeline inconsistencies with main story events. Chris notes Superboy's physical design evolution throughout arc as editorial mandated size increases to match Teen Titans appearance. Force field technology and advanced Legion equipment discussed as properly futuristic elements that should distinguish team from contemporary heroes.

History is full of phantom worlds—alternative technological paradigms that could have made everything turn out radically differently. Airships instead of airplanes. Rail instead of cars. Direct current instead of alternating current. Telegraphs instead of telephones. Each path once seemed inevitable, until another won out and reshaped civilization. In this episode of Context, we explore these turning points and what they reveal about our own moment, when autonomous vehicles and immersive virtual reality are racing forward in parallel. Will the future be built on radical mobility, or radical simulation? Or both? Most of all, we ask: what kind of lives do we want our grandchildren to live, and how will the choices we make now determine the answer?

In the digital age, it's critical to craft communication that fits the context.Like it or not, algorithms now decide whose messages get heard. “If you want to communicate effectively,” says Adam Aleksic, “you need to be exactly aware of what that medium is doing.”Aleksic is a linguist, author, and educational content creator with millions of followers across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. His latest book, Algospeak: How Social Media Is Transforming the Future of Language, explores how the platforms we use create new contexts that require new ways of communicating. “Every medium uniquely affects how we communicate, and we adapt our speech to these media,” he says. In the same way that we tailor communication for the contexts of the office, the gym, or the bar, digital platforms — and the algorithms that drive them — require the same contextualized communication. “You have to appeal to [the] algorithm,” he says.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Aleksic and host Matt Abrahams examine how words are born, change meaning, and spread in the digital age. Their conversation highlights practical ways to be more intentional with the words we choose by considering the medium, understanding the context, and adapting communication accordingly.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Adam AleksicAdam's Book: AlgospeakEp.91 Um, Like, So: How Filler Words Can Create More Connected, Effective Communication Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:21) - Language, Labels, & Identity (04:40) - What Is Algospeak?

Urban Planning in Nazi Germany: Attack, Triumph, Terror in the European Context, 1933–1945 (DOM, 2025) is edited by Uwe Altrock, Harald Bodenschatz, Victoria Grau, Jannik Noeske, Christiane Post, and Max Welch Guerra. The book includes contributions from Christian von Oppen, Piero Sassi, and Jannik Noeske.  Two co-editors, Victoria Grau and Max Welch Guerra, join the New Books Network to discuss this work. In this book, urban planning under the Nazi dictatorship is for the first time examined not only as something that evolved during the different periods of Nazi rule but also in the context of other European dictatorships of the time. The period between 1933 and 1945 saw important changes in the focus of Nazi urban planning. These affected the cast of principal actors, the content of the regime's propaganda, cities and areas affected, programs and practices, and winners and losers. The result of this survey is a multi-layered picture that goes beyond the usual presentation of well-known power-projecting buildings to consider a range of other important aspects including housing construction, urban renewal, internal colonization, buildings for rearmament, large-scale infrastructure, industrial areas, educational institutions, and camps. This volume marks the conclusion of a series of academic publications about urban planning and dictatorship – in the Soviet Union, Italy, Portugal and Spain. Urban Planning in Nazi Germany: Attack, Triumph, Terror in the European Context, 1933-1945 is the English language edition of Stadtbau im Nationalsozialismus: Angriff, Triumph, Terror im europäischen Kontext, 1933–1945. Guests: Victoria Grau is a researcher in the Department of Architecture and Urban Planning at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. Sen.

How do you build a successful AI company in today's landscape? Do you go broad and build a horizontal platform for everyone, or do you go deep and create a vertical solution for a niche market?In this episode, Dheeraj Pandey and Amit Prakash dive into one of the most critical strategic challenges facing founders today. They explore the paradox of needing broad context for AI to be intelligent, while also requiring sharp focus to find a buyer.The discussion covers everything from distribution models (Product-Led Growth vs. Sales-Led Growth), the role of founder bias, the rise of the citizen developer, and why the most successful AI companies of the future, like the most effective leaders, will need to be "T-shaped."Key Topics & Chapter Markers[00:01:28] Welcome & Summer Recap[00:08:04] Introducing the Core Theme: Breadth vs. Depth in AI[00:10:28] The Technologist's Dilemma: Building a Horizontal Platform vs. a Vertical Solution[00:12:05] The Paradox of AI: Needing Broad Context for Narrow Problems[00:15:00] The Persona Problem: Building for a Builder vs. an End-User[00:27:21] Go-to-Market Models: PLG vs. Forward-Deployed Engineering (SLG)[00:32:40] Founder Bias: How Personal Ambition, Laziness, and Experience Shape Strategy[00:42:55] The Hourglass Model: Let Chaos Reign, Then Reign in the Chaos[00:49:19] Why Every SLG Company Must Have a PLG Motion to Prevent Churn[00:50:21] The "T-Shaped" Metaphor for People and AI Products[00:51:30] Context and Memory: Prompt Engineering vs. Fine-Tuning Models[01:01:20] Finding Your Serviceable Addressable Market (SAM) vs. Total Addressable Market (TAM)[01:04:40] The Power of "Unreasonable Hospitality" in Customer Focus[01:06:00] Teaser for the Next Episode: A Deeper Dive into MCP vs. A2A ProtocolsHosts:Dheeraj Pandey: Co-founder and CEO at DevRev, formerly Co-founder and CEO of Nutanix.

Have you ever wondered if the Book of Revelation has been misunderstood for generations—or if we've been reading it with the wrong lens altogether? In this engaging episode of Seek Go Create, Tim Winders sits down with Revelation scholar and author Leo De Siqueira to challenge fear-based interpretations and explore the true context of Revelation. Together, they unpack the clash of covenants, the pivotal events of the first century, and why understanding early church history could transform how you see the Bible's most mysterious book. If you've felt intimidated, confused, or even disillusioned by Revelation, this episode will open your eyes to a hopeful and restorative message hiding in plain sight."It's unfair to just dissect a book of the Bible and argue to defend it—there's a huge narrative in play with a lot of mystery." - Leo De Siqueira Access all show and episode resources HEREAbout Our Guest:Leo De Siqueira is a theologian, linguist, and author recognized for his deep scholarship on the Book of Revelation.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly Compensatory Call-In 08/23/25. 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 Summer 2025 wraps it all up with a vicious heat wave across much of the US. President Trump spent time telling US museums to "cool it" with the exhibits about the enslavement of black people and talk of Racist White slave owners. In Uvalde, Texas parents of children victimized in the May 2022 school shooting continue to receive details about why nearly 2 dozen mostly non-white people were killed. Some are still trying to understand the seeming cowardice of the local police response. In Gus' beloved Seattle, 68-year-old navy veteran and privileged black male Harold Powell was nearly shot to death while meditating near the pier 55 Starbucks downtown. A Race Soldier accused Powell of lying about his combat service and summarily shot him on the street in broad daylight. #EndStageWhiteSupremacy INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: http://cash.app/$TheCOWS Call: 720.716.7300 Code: 564943#

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly summit on Neutralizing Workplace Racism 08/21/25. There are record-breaking high temperatures across the United States. Tens of thousands of workers are forced to endure dangerous temperatures while working an 8 or 9 hour shift. We'll discuss the importance of staying hydrated and communicating your health and safety needs. Black Self Respect may mean asking for ice water or altering the work schedule to avoid the warmest portion of the day. And educators and students alike are preparing to return to the classroom.

This is one of the most difficult and important questions Christians face. Our culture is obsessed with avoiding pain—seeking comfort, health, and wealth at all costs. But the Bible presents a radically different picture: suffering is not an accident or a sign of failure in the Christian life. Instead, it is often the very means by which God works in and through His people.The Thessalonian church knew this firsthand. They faced persecution and hostility because of their faith in Jesus. Paul wrote this letter to encourage them, reminding them that God had a bigger plan for their hardship.The Context of SufferingPaul, Silas, and Timothy had planted the church in Thessalonica during their missionary journey (Acts 17). But almost immediately, opposition arose. A mob accused the believers of treason for declaring Jesus as King, and persecution broke out. Far from being surprised by this, Paul reminded them that Jesus Himself warned His followers: “If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first” (John 15:18).Suffering for the faith was not a detour—it was part of the journey. And it still is today. Christians around the world face hostility, pressure, and even violence because of their allegiance to Jesus. But as Paul explained, these hardships open doors for God to accomplish His purposes.Three Doors Opened by Suffering1. Suffering opens the door for God's justice.Paul assures the believers that God sees their persecution and will make things right. True justice is not defined by cultural trends but by God's eternal truth. Even when it feels like evil is winning, God promises to hold oppressors accountable. Ultimately, when Christ returns, He will bring judgment on those who reject Him and relief for those who trust Him (2 Thessalonians 1:5-9).This truth should encourage us when we feel the sting of injustice. God's justice may not come on our timeline, but it will come.2. Suffering opens the door for God's rest.In verse 7, Paul promises that God will provide rest for those who are suffering. While that rest may not always come in this life, it is guaranteed when Jesus appears again. Just as hunger makes food taste better and exhaustion makes sleep sweeter, our present trials make the promise of eternal rest more precious.This hope sustains us when we feel overwhelmed. The suffering of today cannot compare with the glory to come.3. Suffering opens the door for God's praise.Finally, Paul explains that hardship results in greater worship. When Christ returns, He will be glorified among His people (2...

In an August 14th Vogue Business article by Madeleine Schultz , Saks Global, the parent company of Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman, discussed its personalisation strategy and an investment of $600 million for it's new platform. The only problem is: based on the article, we think they got it wrong. In this episode of the Experience Strategy Podcast, hosts Aransas Savas, Joe Pine, and Dave Norton delve into the evolving landscape of personalization in retail, particularly focusing on Saks Global's new strategies. They discuss the importance of understanding customer modes, the role of contextual data, and the challenges faced by traditional personalization approaches. The conversation highlights the need for brands to meet customers where they are, especially in the age of social shopping, and emphasizes the integration of online and offline experiences to enhance customer engagement. This episode is brought to you by The Cargo Agency and Feedback Now. Takeaways Personalization is a form of customization for individuals. Saks has invested heavily in personalization strategies. Modes thinking is crucial for effective personalization. Contextual data is essential for understanding customer needs. Traditional personalization approaches may feel outdated. Social shopping is a growing trend in retail. Brands must meet customers where they are online. Integration of online and offline experiences is key. Personalization should not just be about demographics. The future of retail lies in innovative and brave strategies.

This Day in Legal History: ABA FormedOn August 21, 1878, 75 lawyers convened in Saratoga Springs, New York, and formally established the American Bar Association (ABA). Their shared aim was to advance the “science of jurisprudence,” promote uniform legislation, strengthen justice administration, uphold the profession's honor, and encourage collegial interaction among lawyers. Their organizing document—the original constitution—still shapes the ABA's mission today.Over time, the ABA became the premier professional association for attorneys in the U.S., influencing national legal education, ethics, and law reform. It introduced the first national ethics code in 1908 (the Canons of Professional Ethics), which eventually evolved into today's Model Rules of Professional Conduct.While the ABA once counted about 400,000 dues-paying members, by the low‑point of 2019, it had lost approximately 56,000 members—a symptom of shifting professional norms and changing perceptions of organizational value. Membership has continued to decline, with figures dropping as low as 227,000 by 2024. In response, the ABA has implemented membership reforms and reduced dues tiers to attract and re-engage lawyers, especially those early in their careers.The American Bar Association's recent actions reflect a mixed record in the face of escalating political pressure—particularly from the Trump administration and its allies. On one hand, the ABA has forcefully resisted efforts to erode legal independence: in 2025, it filed a federal lawsuit accusing the administration of intimidating law firms engaged in politically sensitive representation, and it criticized the DOJ's move to exclude the ABA from vetting judicial nominees as a blow to transparency and professionalism. It also defended its longstanding role in law school accreditation amid efforts to strip that authority.On the other hand, the ABA's decision in August 2025 to eliminate five Board of Governors seats historically reserved for women, LGBTQ+ individuals, people with disabilities, and racial minorities marks a notable concession under pressure. The newly adopted policy opens these seats to anyone with a demonstrated commitment to diversity, regardless of their own demographic identity. While proponents framed the shift as a legal safeguard against lawsuits, critics viewed it as a capitulation—especially given the broader political context, including targeted attacks on ABA diversity programs and threats to its accreditation authority. The organization has also paused enforcement of its law school diversity standards until at least 2026.The Justice Department under the Trump administration has dramatically escalated its investigation into gender-affirming care, targeting the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia with a sweeping subpoena demanding detailed records—including names and Social Security numbers—of patients who received such treatments. This move is part of a broader campaign to prosecute medical providers offering care to transgender youth, following a directive from Attorney General Pam Bondi to aggressively pursue these cases.The hospital pushed back against the subpoena, calling it an invasive overreach into a vulnerable population's privacy. In response, DOJ took the unusual step of asking the court to unseal the litigation, a departure from standard practice in sensitive investigations where proceedings are typically kept sealed to protect investigatory integrity. The judge sided with the DOJ, opening the docket earlier this month.The subpoena was signed by Brett Shumate, the newly confirmed head of DOJ's civil division, bypassing career officials who had refused to sign similar subpoenas due to ethical and legal concerns. Internal dissent had already emerged, with former officials warning that collecting such data lacked a strong legal basis, especially since off-label prescriptions like puberty blockers are not illegal under federal law.Critics say the investigation appears more performative than prosecutorial, designed to chill gender-affirming care through public pressure rather than build viable legal cases. The Trump administration has also directed other agencies, including HHS and the FTC, to scrutinize these practices, while states like Pennsylvania have filed lawsuits challenging the administration's actions. The outcome of the Philadelphia case, now in front of a federal judge, could shape how far the administration can go in turning gender-related health care into a legal battleground.Justice Department Expands Gender Care Probe as Hospital FightsA recent ruling in the Epic Games v. Apple case has sparked growing concern among corporate legal teams that the boundaries of attorney-client privilege—especially for in-house counsel—are being narrowed in ways that could harm innovation and compliance. The district court found Apple had improperly claimed privilege over documents that mixed legal advice with business guidance, drawing a sharp rebuke that “adding a lawyer's name to a document does not create a privilege.”That finding is now being appealed, with organizations like TechNet and the Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) warning that upholding the decision could upend how legal departments operate—particularly in fast-moving sectors like AI and cybersecurity, where legal and business decisions are tightly intertwined. In-house counsel argue they need the flexibility to weigh legal risks within the real-world context of product development, market pressures, and regulatory uncertainty.At issue is the standard used to define privilege. The Ninth Circuit has previously backed the “primary purpose” test, which protects dual-purpose communications if a significant purpose was legal. But the district court's approach appeared more rigid, raising fears that companies will be discouraged from seeking or documenting legal guidance unless they rely on expensive outside counsel.Legal leaders say this shift would disproportionately impact smaller firms and startups already stretched thin. They also point to a broader ambiguity across federal circuits regarding dual-purpose communications, and argue that only a Supreme Court ruling can definitively resolve the inconsistencies.Oral arguments in the appeal are set for October 21.Apple Ruling Raises Business Fear of Legal Privileges ErodingA federal appeals court has allowed the Trump administration to move forward with ending deportation protections and work permits for over 60,000 immigrants from Honduras, Nicaragua, and Nepal. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued an unsigned order permitting the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for these groups while legal challenges continue. No legal reasoning was provided in the brief order.The decision lifts an earlier block by a federal district judge, who had ruled that the move was likely driven by racial animus, violating constitutional protections. The new ruling immediately ends protections for Nepali nationals, with protections for Honduran and Nicaraguan immigrants set to expire by September 8.The Department of Homeland Security praised the ruling as a step toward restoring the immigration system's integrity, arguing TPS has been misused as a backdoor form of asylum. Immigrant advocates, meanwhile, condemned the lack of explanation from the court and warned of serious humanitarian consequences for those now facing deportation to unstable regions.The case remains ongoing, but for now, thousands of individuals who have lived and worked legally in the U.S. for years are left in legal limbo.Trump can end deportation protections for 60,000 immigrants, appeals court says | ReutersElon Musk must face a lawsuit alleging he and his political action committee, America PAC, ran an illegal election-year lottery disguised as a $1 million-a-day giveaway. A federal judge in Texas ruled that plaintiff Jacqueline McAferty plausibly claimed Musk misled voters—particularly in battleground states—into signing a petition supporting the U.S. Constitution by offering what appeared to be a random chance at a $1 million prize.McAferty alleges that, in exchange for signing, voters were required to provide personal data—names, addresses, phone numbers, and emails—which she claims was exploited for political targeting. Musk argued that the program was not a lottery because recipients were chosen to “earn” the funds and serve as America PAC spokespeople. But the judge pointed to conflicting language used in promotional materials suggesting the money could be “won,” making it reasonable for voters to think it was a sweepstakes-style contest.Judge Robert Pitman, an Obama appointee, also rejected Musk's argument that voters suffered no harm, noting that expert testimony could establish the market value of political data collected during the promotion.The lawsuit, filed on Election Day 2024, underscores growing concerns over the use of high-dollar giveaways in political campaigning and how voter data is gathered and deployed in swing states. Musk and his PAC have not yet commented on the ruling.Elon Musk must face lawsuit claiming he ran illegal $1 million election lottery | ReutersAnd in a piece I wrote for Forbes earlier this week: the new One Big Beautiful Bill Act revives full expensing for U.S.-based research and development, a policy designed to encourage domestic innovation and hiring. At first glance, it seems like a major win for the tech sector and high-skilled job creation. But the labor market response reveals a deeper issue: you can't stimulate demand for talent without also addressing supply. With immigration pathways constrained and no meaningful expansion of domestic training infrastructure, the policy has triggered a spike in labor costs rather than a boom in innovation.In the absence of new talent pipelines, startups and tech firms are now paying steep premiums to hire U.S.-based engineers, effectively converting the R&D tax break into a subsidy for a tight labor market. Meanwhile, immigration policy remains restrictive, and education-focused workforce solutions aren't being scaled fast enough to meet the moment. The result is a bottleneck: jobs going unfilled, innovation slowing, and companies forced to reconsider hiring or delay projects altogether.The piece argues that while R&D expensing is smart fiscal policy, it only works as part of a broader strategy that includes visa reform, immigration support for high-skilled workers, and real investments in talent development. Without those pieces in place, we're left with a politically appealing tax tweak that, in practice, fails to deliver the innovation surge it promises.Turns Out Research Tax Breaks Alone Can't Conjure Developers This is a public episode.

Generative AI can be incredibly powerful when it comes to legacy modernization. Not only can it help us better understand a large, aging codebase, it can even help us reverse engineer a legacy system when we don't have access to the complete source code. Doing it, though, requires a specific approach that's being described as 'context engineering'. This is something we've been exploring a lot in recent months at Thoughtworks. On this episode of the Technology Podcast, Thoughtworks' lead for AI-enabled software engineering, Birgitta Böckeler, and tech principal Chandirasekar Thiagarajan join hosts Ken Mugrage and Neal Ford to discuss how it works.  They explain the process, the tools and what the work is teaching them about both generative AI and legacy modernization.

This week, Zak and Aaron kindly beg your attention to a very serious matter: the censorship of thousands of NSFW games across Steam and Itch.io at the behest of payment processors like Mastercard. Prompted by a grassroots organization with far-right connections called Collective Shout, this incident could have far-reaching implications for free speech, result in LGBTQ+ erasure, and mean that corporations become the arbiters of what does and does not constitute art in the future.Please, enjoy.Missed what's happened?

In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions: Hi Dave & Jamison, Long time listener, first time google-form filler outer! I work in a hybrid role as a lead developer and manager of a small team (less than 5). I'm new to management and most of ny experience so far has been with smart, motivated engineers. . . UNTIL! My new recruit is driving me crazy, they are clearly very capable, but just do not do the work. They are frequently late for work, frequently sign off early, and constantly evasive when I ask for updates. I have spoken to them about these issues a bunch, and everytime they are apologetic and say they “have some personal issues but are working on it” - and nothing changes. Urgh! I am pretty sure I will have to fire them, but I feel terrible about it! I know I can't keep them on and pay them to do nothing, but what's the best way to let somebody go? How do I break the news to the rest of the team? How do I avoid feeling bad for the rest of my life? Yours guiltily, Anon A listener named “erm what the sigma” asks, Do you have any advice on how to reduce the ramp-up time when context switching? I've always felt like context switching comes at a high cost for me—it just takes so long for me to mentally shift between tasks. This wasn't much of a problem before, but I've recently become a tech lead and now my calendar is cluttered with meetings (why did I ask for this again??). I'm struggling to complete my coding stories because just as I hit my stride, I get pinged by someone on my team to help them or have to jump into yet another meeting. pls send help

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes John A. Haymond. A White Man and a US army veteran, Haymond is a a historian, author, public speaker, and educator. He served 21 years in the armed services before returning to civilian life to research Racism. We'll discuss his 2025 publication, Black Soldiers, White Laws: The Tragedy of the 24th Infantry in 1917 Houston. This text examines the so called racial mutiny where dozens of black male soldiers resorted to counter-violence in response to daily White Terrorism in Houston, Texas. Nearly two dozen black males were hanged as a result of this violent outburst. Nearly one hundred black males were then caged in Leavenworth prison as punishment for defending themselves against White Terrorism. Mr. Haymond tells us that one significant aspect of Houston's White Supremacy was White males' hankering for black brothels. Apparently this was well known throughout the Houston area and many White people lamented the scourge of loose black females luring White men to destruction. #WEBDuBois INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: http://cash.app/$TheCOWS Call: 720.716.7300 Code: 564943#

In this episode, James and Cory introduce a new series where they will be reading and discussing Herman Bavinck's Philosophy of Revelation. They discuss the significance of this work within the context of Neo-Calvinism and cultural apologetics. The conversation explores the intellectual landscape of Bavinck's time, including his engagement with Nietzsche, and offers insights into how readers can approach Bavinck's complex lectures.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly Compensatory Call-In 08/16/25. 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 Not even two months removed from Gus T. Renegade's daily court coverage from the Milwaukee County Court House, the Governor of Wisconsin is begging Pres. Donald Trump to declare a state of emergency in the southeast corner of the state. Regions in the north part of Milwaukee were especially hard hit, unless, Gus T. is massively confused, large concentrations of black people are warehoused in this part of town. Many reports indicate that this once in a 1,000 years flood happened in a region where many people do not have flood insurance. In the nation's capitol, President Trump ordered federal troops into Washington, D.C. with specious claims of roving gangs of punks looting and pillaging "Chocolate City." Some fear President Trumps federal invasion will be coming to other US cities soon. Gus remembers one serious point that was raised during discussions of legalizing cannabis in "The District." Marijuana remains outlawed under federal law, and Washington, D.C. has a higher number of federal troops than most other cities. Now, they're even more armed federal agents in town. #EndStageWhiteSupremacy INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: http://cash.app/$TheCOWS Call: 720.716.7300 Code: 564943#

Ever leave a meeting thinking it went fine… but something didn't land? In this concise training, AJ and Johnny unpack the five levels of listening and the “conversation radar” that lets you hear what others don't say. You'll learn how to move beyond facts and small talk into context, what's left unsaid, and meaning—so people feel seen, trust you faster, and want to keep the conversation going. What to Listen For [00:00:00] Why “it went fine” isn't enough—introducing conversation radar [00:00:40] High-quality listening lowers defensiveness; oxytocin & trust [00:02:27] What years of video breakdowns revealed about real listening [00:04:21] Five levels overview and the Oscar Trimboli inspiration [00:05:14] Level 1: Self-focused—seeking to be understood vs. to understand [00:06:55] Level 2: Content—facts only = forgettable, low impact [00:08:32] Level 3: Context—tone, timing, rhythm; role-play on ambivalence [00:10:50] Level 4: What's unsaid—notice omissions; kids vs. work example [00:13:17] Level 5: Meaning—identity, values; reflective listening > shared experience [00:14:37] The 4-step practice drill to use all five levels today [00:15:35] How to train conversation radar (program mention & link) A Word From Our Sponsors Tired of awkward handshakes and collecting business cards without building real connections?
