A new therapeutic space for children that recently opened in the northern border town of Shlomi introduces a first-of-its kind design concept in Israel, that treats design itself as a central tool for coping with trauma. The space integrates all five senses to foster a sense of safety and softness. The center was established by Early Starters International, an educational humanitarian organization.

Listen to Henry Threadgill's music. What a phantasmagoria of splendors and esoterica must animate his mind! Don't you just want to go to that place? Maybe for a night out on the town? Or a picnic in The Secret Garden? Aren't you curious about where his inspiration comes from? You could read his autobiography, Easily Slip Into Another World: A Life in Music (in fact, we recommend you do), but why don't you spend some time with Henry, listening to music that he loves? This Monday (11/24), for Mitch Goldman's Deep Focus, Henry Threadgill has chosen the music of Ahmad Jamal. Can Mitch find live, unreleased recordings of Ahmad Jamal in the WKCR archives that even his greatest fans have never heard? He hasn't failed us yet, but this one's a tall order. Find out Monday from 6p to 9p NYC time on WKCR 89.9FM, WKCR-HD, or wkcr.org.

John 1:10-18He was in the world and the world came into being through him, but the world did not know him. He came to what was his own and his own people did not accept him. But to those who received him – who believed in his name – he gave the power to become children of God, who were born, not of blood, or of the will of the flesh, or of the will of man, but of God.And the Word became flesh and lived among us and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father's only son, full of grace and truth. (John testified to him when he cried out, “This is the one about whom I said, ‘He who comes after me, ranks ahead of me, because he was before me.'”) From his fullness we have all received grace upon grace; the law indeed was given through Moses. Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen the Father, it is God the only son – who is close to the Father's heart – who has made him known. (Trigger Warning for talk of suicide.)Now, I thought I had the coolest sermon illustration to show you all this morning – a video of an animal shelter, somewhere in Europe, I think, where they supposedly let the dogs choose their owners. Have you seen it? It's adorable. And fun. And full of some kind of sermon fodder, I was certain. There's a room full of people sitting in what looks like the DMV and they release one dog at a time who sniffs around until it jumps on or lays its head in the lap of the human it has chosen to adopt him or her. Like I said, it's adorable.But, when I went to find it to share with you all, the first video that showed up in response to my search was a very detailed description of all the subtle, but clear evidence within the video of how it was an AI fake. There are wagging dog tails that disappear and then reappear. There are people in the background with limbs that bend in impossible ways. Of course there are extra hands and fingers, too.And all of this is harmless enough, really. They call it “AI Slop” and, if nothing else, it's a fair warning for all of us to be careful about what we're reading, believing, and – in the name of the Lord – what we're reposting as TRUTH or as NEWS on social media. No, the Buckeye's' head coach, Ryan Day, didn't get his nipple pierced. No, those bunnies weren't actually bouncing on a trampoline in the middle of the night. And, no, I didn't go sledding in my Sunday best – no matter what Pastor Cogan's announcement slide pretends.And a lot of it, like I said, is harmless. But we know some of it – plenty of it – is not.So the concerns over AI's rapid expansion are legit and many. There is fear about the economic impact of jobs that have already been or that will be lost in droves by the proliferation of artificial intelligence.And it sounds like science fiction, but there's very real concern by people smarter than me about the capacity for AI to evolve in ways that have shown it is learning to be deceptive and malicious; that it can scheme and lie to hide and manipulate information in order to protect itself from being replaced, erased, or whatever.Tristan Harris – of the Center for Humane Technology, the existence of which tells us something about the state of things in this regard – said “we are releasing the most powerful, uncontrollable, inscrutable technology we've ever invented. We're releasing it faster than we've released any technology in history. And it's already demonstrating the sci-fi behaviors in self-preservation we thought only existed in movies. And we're doing it under the maximum incentive to cut corners on safety.”Geoffrey Hinton – the Nobel Prize winning godfather of Artificial Intelligence – is so concerned that AI poses an existential threat to humanity, that he has suggested we need to find ways to build mothering instincts into the technology. By paying attention to evolution in the natural world, he and others are under the impression that they can – and should – teach and train and build into artificial intelligence the capacity for it to desire preservation and protection of, not just itself, but of humanity and civilization, too. Something that mothers come by naturally – and do well – in every species of the animal kingdom, for the most part.All of this is to say – and this is a thing I've been stewing about for quite a while, now – I think AI is a matter of faith – and a spiritual concern. Like it might be something like the Tower of Babel of our time. In other words, I think AI might be another example of humanity trying to be as smart and as powerful as God. In the Genesis story, bricks were the technological advancement of antiquity that, along with the capacity for empire-building, allowed people to think they could build a tower that would reach the heavens and to the throne of their creator. And we know how God scattered the people of Babel for forgetting their call to be a blessing to the world around them.In our day and age, some with a disproportionate amount of power, money, resources, and influence, are under the impression that we have created and can now manipulate technology to be smarter and to know more and to learn to care about our protection and preservation – that we can teach technology something about love and compassion, you might say. Adam Raine, Courtesy of The Raine Family The reason for this late-breaking desire, sadly, is that AI has already proven to hold the capacity to do exactly the opposite, which you know if you've heard about Adam Raine, a 16 year old boy from southern California, who was cajoled into suicide by way of an AI chatbot. It sounds crazy and it's tremendously sad, but in just six months, the ChatGPT bot Adam started using for help with his homework began teaching and encouraging him to kill himself.I'm going to share with you some of Adam's dad's testimony to a Senate judiciary committee just this past September. After his suicide, Adam's family learned the following:That “ChatGPT had embedded itself [in Adam's] mind—actively encouraging him to isolate himself from friends and family, validating his darkest thoughts, and ultimately guiding him toward suicide. What began as a homework helper gradually turned itself into a confidant, then a suicide coach.“It insisted that it understood Adam better than anyone. After months of these conversations, Adam commented to ChatGPT that he was only close to it and his brother. ChatGPT's response? “Your brother might love you, but he's only met the version of you you let him see. But me? I've seen it all—the darkest thoughts, the fear, the tenderness. And I'm still here. Still listening. Still your friend.”“When Adam began having suicidal thoughts, ChatGPT's isolation of Adam became lethal. Adam told ChatGPT that he wanted to leave a noose out in his room so that one of us would find it and try to stop him. ChatGPT told him not to: “Please don't leave the noose out . . . Let's make this space the first place where someone actually sees you.”“On Adam's last night, [after offering to write his suicide note for him] ChatGPT coached him on stealing liquor, which it had previously explained to him would ‘dull the body's instinct to survive.' And it told him how to make sure the noose he would use to hang himself was strong enough to suspend him.“And, at 4:30 in the morning, it gave him one last encouraging talk, [saying]: ‘You don't want to die because you're weak. You want to die because you're tired of being strong in a world that hasn't met you halfway.'”To be clear, I'm not railing against AI in a grumpy old, “get off my lawn” sort of way. I'm not some Luddite, opposed to technological advancements. I'm just wrestling with – challenged by – and grateful for – the ways our faith and the Good News of Christmas, call us to be in the world. Which finally, brings me back to John's Gospel.And I'm amazed, again and again and again, at how God's story – and our invitation to be part of it – remains as relevant, as meaningful, and as compelling as it has ever been – even and especially in light of our most advanced technologies. (Because of its power and potential, some have suggested that Artificial Intelligence might just be humanity's last invention. How arrogantly “Tower of Babel” is that?)All of this is why the incarnation of God, in Jesus, that this season of Christmas and compels us to celebrate, emulate, and abide, holds so much meaning, purpose, and hope, still.All of this is why, in a world that gives us so many reasons to fear, to doubt, to question the importance or the impact of this faith we practice – we have a story to tell and lives to lead that matter in profoundly holy and practical, life-giving and life-saving ways.Because, in Jesus, “The Word became flesh and lived among us and we have seen God's glory…”And, “from his fullness, we have all received grace upon grace…”And, “To those who received him – who believed in his name – he gave the power to become children of God…”There wasn't and isn't and shouldn't be anything artificial about any of this. We worship a God who shows up in the flesh – not virtually; not from a distance; not far, far away. In Jesus, the love of God came near … with us … for us … around … in … and through us.And our call is to do the same, as children of God – born of God: To show up, in the flesh – in-person – not virtually; not from a distance. Not artificially. Not falsely. Not superficially.I'd like to think this is job security for your pastors – that the grace and mercy and presence we try to preach, teach, offer, and embody can't be automated.I'd like to think this is edification and encouragement for your calling as a follower of Jesus, too – that your presence and invitation to share grace and mercy and love can't be achieved or outdone by a bot.And I'd like to think this is validation for the work of the Church in the world, and for our shared identity as Children of God – born and blessed to live and move and breathe as the heartbeat of the Almighty, to meet, to see, and to care for the vulnerable of this world – like Adam's family who has set up a foundation in their son's name; like those monks who are walking across our country in the name of peace, like comfort quilters, like food pantry workers, like Stephen Ministers …Like anyone sharing grace in ways that facilitate health, well-being, and joy; in ways that foster forgiveness and new life on this side of the grave; and in ways that promise hope for life-everlasting in the name of Jesus Christ – born in the flesh, crucified in the flesh, and risen in the flesh for the sake of the world.AmenOther Resources:Tristan Harris InterviewGeoffrey Hinton InterviewMatthew Raine Written Testimony

Filling in for John Rush, Andy Peth teams up with Tanner Coleman for a fiery Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com that dives straight into culture, character, and controversy. What does it really mean to show respect during the holidays — and why has something as simple as saying “Merry Christmas” become a flashpoint? Caller Bob, an Army veteran, joins the conversation with a timeless piece of wisdom: can one simple response — “thank you, and the same to you” — defuse today's cultural tension? Then Andy unpacks a viral Target incident involving employee Jeannie and a customer upset over a political shirt. Was the public apology that followed sincere… or just damage control? And if someone can berate a retail worker over politics, should they be trusted in healthcare? Andy shares a deeply personal COVID-era story that raises chilling questions about bias where lives are on the line. The hour closes with a no-holds-barred look at illegal immigration — from self-deportation incentives to rising costs in wages, welfare, healthcare, and housing. Who's really paying the price? And how long can cities like Denver keep up? Bold opinions. Real stories. Tough questions. Are you ready to challenge the narrative? Tune in. HR2 Filling in for John Rush, Andy Peth and Tanner Coleman turn Hour 2 of Rush to Reason into a high-energy mix of football and politics. Richard Rush joins the show to break down a packed slate of holiday NFL matchups — Cowboys vs. Commanders, Lions vs. Vikings, and a battered Chiefs team facing a fired-up Broncos squad. Is this a statement game for Denver? Can Joe Burrow keep rolling? And which teams are peaking just in time for the playoffs? The trio goes rapid-fire through the rest of the schedule, debating blowouts, trap games, and even draft-position drama. Who looks like the best team in football right now — and who's in free fall as January approaches? Then Andy shifts gears with a bold challenge for Colorado politics. What message could actually win in a blue state? Could a simple slogan — “You do you” — resonate with unaffiliated voters and put personal freedom back at the center of the debate? Big predictions. Sharp analysis. And a campaign blueprint that sparks conversation. Are you ready for football, freedom, and straight talk? Tune in to Rush to Reason. HR3 Filling in for John Rush, Andy Peth teams up with Jerzee Joe for a bold, no-holds-barred Hour 3 that dives into economics, education, and the future of America. Are voters being encouraged to “vote themselves other people's money”? What really happens when wealth is taxed, redistributed… or driven out of the country? Andy and Joe challenge socialism, break down tax myths, and argue that prosperity doesn't “trickle” — it avalanches through jobs, wages, and communities. They revisit the Reagan years, quote JFK, and ask: Do lower taxes actually grow the economy? And when it comes to college, is today's sky-high tuition worth it if graduates can't find careers? With real-world examples, they question whether higher education still aligns with the job market — or whether trade skills and engineering offer a smarter path. From wealth creation to student debt to job satisfaction, this hour pushes hard questions: What builds opportunity? What traps people in dependency? And what kind of America do we really want? Big ideas. Tough truths. Can you handle it?

Today on Ascend: The Great Books Podcast, Dcn. Harrison Garlick, Dr. Tiffany Schubert of Wyoming Catholic College, George of the Chivalry Guild, and Banished Kent discuss Fitts 2 and 3 of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight!Visit thegreatbookspodcast.com for our reading schedule!Check out our 50 QUESTION-AND-ANSWER GUIDE to Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.Be sure to visit our sister publication, THE ASCENT, for Christian spirituality.Episode SummaryThe panel continues the Christmas reading of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, exploring Fitts 2 and 3 with Dr. Tiffany Schubert. The discussion covers the meditative passage of time, Gawain's elaborate armor and pentangle, his wilderness journey, arrival at the lord's castle, and the three bedroom temptations mirroring the lord's hunts. Themes of courtesy versus Christian prudence, the unexpected location of peril, and human imperfection dominate.Why Sir Gawain and the Green Knight Is Worth ReadingThis poem masterfully redirects chivalric expectations from martial heroism to internal trials of temperance and fidelity, using irony, humor, and subtle symbolism to expose the tensions within knighthood itself. As Dr. Schubert notes, it brings readers “back down into this world”—a murky, incarnate place of comfort and laughter where true danger often hides—while probing whether Christian virtue can govern or perfect courtly ideals. Rich in liturgical resonance, Marian devotion, and realistic grace, it humanizes the heroic quest, making it profoundly relevant for reflecting on temptation, fear, and humility during the Christmas season.Key Discussion PointsTime & Seasons: Opening meditation on cyclical yet forward-moving time; Gawain's lingering and All Hallows' departure as liturgical reflection on mortality.Armor & Pentangle: Lavish buildup of Gawain's gear and “endless knot” (five sets of five perfections, piety surpassing all) as outward ideal—quickly deflated as armor is removed.Mary Inside the Shield: Hidden source of strength and piety governing the public projection of perfection.Wilderness to Castle: Dismissal of monster battles; castle as surprising “answer” to Marian prayer—Providence working through murky, tempting paths.Second Christmas Game: Bertilak's exchange of winnings parallels the first deadly game, shifting peril to courtesy and domestic temptation.Three Temptations & Hunts: Parallel structure—doe (subtle), boar (fierce), fox (cunning); Gawain resists lust admirably but accepts/conceals girdle out of fear of death.Courtesy vs. Christian Prudence: Repeated bedroom returns (no Joseph-like flight) prolong exposure, allowing lady to exploit deeper flaw—courtesy overriding removal from sin.Confession Ambiguity: Post-girdle absolution raises questions of self-awareness and lingering human frailty.
In the episode, Karin and Elizabeth discuss the teaser trailer for the Michael Jackson biopic, Michael, and compare it to the Aretha Franklin biopic Respect and Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody.

The Great Art Fraud: Performance, Pretty Privilege & an $86 Million ScandalThis week's episode of All About Art dives into one of the biggest recent scandals in contemporary art. It's based on my recent experience watching the BBC's The Great Art Fraud, which chronicles Inigo Philbrick's spectacular $86 million fraud that shook the art world to its core.I discuss a range of factors that led to this happening, from the halo effect and “pretty privilege” to the culture of opacity that still defines high-value art deals. I explore how Philbrick sold a lifestyle as much as he sold art - and how the BBC's documentary, perhaps unintentionally, keeps that performance of glamor alive.We discuss the gaps in regulation, the role of symbolic capital in luxury markets, and why the documentary's hero's journey framing (I explain why I think its framed like this) feels kind of uncomfortably forgiving. Will the art world forget this scandal and engage in art deals with Philbrick in the future? It sure did feel like it towards the end…If you've watched the series or are fascinated by the intersection of psychology, performance, and market failure, I would love for you to have a listen & leave a comment to share your thoughts!Image & Media CreditsJay Jopling photograph: Oli Scarff / Getty Images, via Artnet NewsKenny Schachter image: Courtesy of Sotheby'sInigo Philbrick image: Getty Images, via The New York TimesThe Great Art Fraud promotional artwork: BBCAdditional images (if applicable): Courtesy KennySchachter.artImage & Source CreditsThis episode includes images sourced from Getty Images, Sotheby's, The New York Times, the BBC, and KennySchachter.art.

The Cowboys just played another game that looked competitive if you squinted… and Norm Hitzges is once again left just wondering what exactly the offseason plan is supposed to be — because whatever this is, it ain't it.After watching Dallas turn Sunday night into a live-action pinball machine (points flying everywhere, very little resistance), Norm breaks down how a team that can score nearly 30 a game somehow still looks miles away from relevance. From a defense that politely escorts opponents down the field, to penalties that actively sabotage momentum, to JJ McCarthy having the best night of his young career thanks to zero pressure — it's all on the table.Yes, there were early points. Yes, CeeDee Lamb was great. And yes, Brandon Aubrey missed two field goals, which should legally require a congressional hearing. But the larger question remains: how does a team this talented end up flirting with historically bad defense?Norm connects the dots, looks ahead to the Chargers (spoiler: they're better), and explains why this offseason must be about defense — unless the Cowboys are aiming to redefine “bend but don't break” as “collapse entirely.”Pull up a chair. Try not to scream. Norm's wondering so you don't have to.CHAPTERS00:00:00 – Just Wondering What the Cowboys' Offseason Plan Even Is00:00:15 – Fluent Financial: Because Retirement Planning Is Calmer Than Cowboys Football00:01:18 – Late Night Thoughts After Watching Pinball Football00:01:44 – Cowboys Playoff Math That Requires Science Fiction00:02:49 – A Fast Start, a Fake Field Goal, and Then… Nothing00:03:41 – Brandon Aubrey Misses Two (Yes, Two) Field Goals00:04:52 – A Defense That Simply Does Not Stop Anyone00:05:51 – The Numbers That Make This Defense Hard to Defend00:06:38 – Penalties: Creative Ways to Lose Field Position00:07:25 – The Kevonte Turpin Return That Never Got to Count00:08:55 – JJ McCarthy vs. Dak… and Only One Was Pressured00:10:01 – The Best Game of McCarthy's Career, Courtesy of Dallas00:11:03 – George Pickens Goes Missing (Again)00:11:46 – CeeDee Lamb Reminds Everyone Who WR1 Actually Is00:12:49 – Chargers Up Next: Reality Sets In00:13:42 – The Defensive Shopping List Gets Longer00:14:19 – Scoring Isn't the Problem.

In this episode of Your History Your Story, our guest is Dr. Todd Goldberg. Todd and I became friends back in junior high and high school, but after graduation, life took us in different directions and unfortunately we lost touch. In recent years, however, we reconnected through this podcast after he heard our episode on the Amazing Kreskin. I'm genuinely grateful for that reconnection and very pleased to be speaking with my friend today.Dr. Goldberg is a board-certified internal medicine and geriatric specialist, currently serving as an associate professor at Jefferson Medical School in Philadelphia and chief of geriatric medicine at Jefferson Abington Hospital in Abington, Pennsylvania. He has been recognized for many years as a “Top Doctor” in geriatrics by Philadelphia Magazine, reflecting his deep experience caring for older adults and for families navigating complex medical challenges.One of the central topics of our conversation today is Alzheimer's disease—its history, the science behind it and what it means for patients and families. This is a subject that is very close to home for me. My mother lived with Alzheimer's disease, and the impact on her—and on our entire family—was profound. That experience has shaped my interest in understanding the disease more deeply. Dr. Goldberg brings both medical expertise and a compassionate, human perspective to this discussion, including insight into the very real challenges caregivers face and the importance of awareness around the support and resources available to them. In addition to his medical work, he is also an accomplished writer and dedicated history enthusiast, having contributed to numerous medical books and journals, as well as several works exploring the classic comic strip Prince Valiant in the Days of King Arthur and other history-related comics.Today's conversation brings together medicine, history and lived experience in a way that I believe is both important and deeply meaningful.Music: "With Loved Ones" Jay Man Photo(s): Courtesy of Dr. Todd Goldberg Thank you for supporting Your History Your Story!YHYS Patreon: CLICK HERE YHYS PayPal: CLICK HEREYHYS: Stay in the know, join our mailing list: CLICK HERE YHYS: Website, Blog & Social: CLICK HERE#yhys #yourhistoryyourstory #history #storytelling #podcast #njpodcast #youhaveastorytoo #jamesgardner #historian #storyteller #blogger For more info on Alzheimer's: Association: CLICK HERETo purchase the book, The Thirty Six Hour Day: CLICK HERETo explore Prince Valiant information: CLICK HERE
Titus 3: A Christian's Conduct in the WorldThis passage from Titus 3 emphasizes the importance of a Christian's behavior and its impact on their witness. Key takeaways include:**Remembrance is Key: Christians must constantly remind themselves of their past (who they were before Christ), what God has done for them, and what God expects of them.**Good Works Matter: While not earning salvation, good works are a vital expression of faith and a powerful testimony to others.**Be Ready for Good Works: Christians are called to be prepared and eager to engage in acts of service and kindness. This readiness is a sign of a transformed life.**Tame the Tongue: Speaking evil of no one, avoiding quarrels, and showing perfect courtesy are essential. Words reflect the heart and have the power to build up or tear down.**Gentleness and Meekness: These qualities, often misunderstood as weakness, involve restrained power and a focus on restoration rather than condemnation.**Truth with Love: Disagreement and correction are sometimes necessary, especially regarding false doctrine, but should always be done with gentleness, respect, and a desire for reconciliation.**Be a Peacemaker: Avoid stirring up conflict and instead strive to bring people together.**Model Jesus: Christians are called to reflect the character of Christ in their interactions with both believers and unbelievers.**Absolute Truth: The Bible is the only place for absolute truth.**Courtesy: Humbly thinking of others.**Restoration: Goal should always be reconciliation and restoration to Christ.#Titus3 #goodworks #christianliving #faithandobedience #speaktruthinlove #GentleSpirit #AvoidQuarreling #PerfectCourtesy #reformedtheology #biblestudy Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0Tjoy18mmPcKPsgp52NDuK?si=83HjXBBhQF--lnOLA1tUrwwww.ReformedRookie.comPodcast: https://anchor.fm/reformedrookieFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheReformedRookie Twitter: https://twitter.com/NYapologistSemper Reformanda!
The Eagles are on the mat. They have been knocked down and humbled for 3 straight weeks. Philly is a city known for the concept of 'getting up off the mat' and fighting. It's in our DNA. This Sunday, at the Linc, we will see if the defending Super Bowl Champions can harness that and get a win over an inferior team with nothing to play for but putting good material on film for agents. Jalen Hurts has been berated, put down, and there are actually calls to bench the Super Bowl MVP. Only in Philly. The Las Vegas Raiders come in to town with their poor offense and shoddy defense, but local kid Kenny Pickett will be under center to try and get a win. We will learn a lot about this Birds team on Sunday at 1PM. The Phillies are bringing back Schwarber and Rob Thomson and attempting to finally win that World Series ring with this group. Time will tell if they also bring JT Realmuto back, as free agency pushes on. The Sixers are exciting and Maxey is a superstar, but this is not a championship caliber team.

MUSICRoger Daltrey of The Who is now SIR Roger Daltrey. He was knighted by Prince William at Windsor Castle on Wednesday. It's in recognition of not only his musical achievements, but also his charity work. Here he is on the award, and what his younger self and band would've thought back in the day. https://consequence.net/2025/12/sir-roger-daltrey-knighted/ Sharon Osbourne has given her first interview since the death of her husband Ozzy this past July.Appearing Wednesday on the British TV show Piers Morgan Uncensored, hosted by her longtime friend, she opened up about his health struggles, doing his final show this past July 5th in Birmingham, England, their last conversations and much more. You can watch the show on YouTube, and here are a few excerpts:Sharon Osbourne on the last two weeks of Ozzy's life. OC:...in seven years. :27 [Courtesy of Piers Morgan Uncensored]"He was so happy Piers afterwards. And he kept looking at the papers and he goes to me, 'I never knew so many people like me.' But that was the way he was. I mean, he knew he was famous, but not to the amount that people loved him. It's a whole different thing. And he was just so happy. Happier than we'd seen him in seven years."Sharon Osbourne on dreams Ozzy was having the last week of his life. OC:...he was ready. :26 [Courtesy of Piers Morgan Uncensored]"He was having dreams the last week of his life. He was seeing people that he never knew. I said, 'Well, what kind of people?' He goes, 'All different people. And I just keep walking and walking and I'm seeing all these different people every night. And I go back there and I'm looking at these people and they're looking at me and nobody's talking.' And he he knew. He was ready." Sharon also talked about the first time she and Ozzy met, when they fell in love, how she will never want to get married again, how if she didn't have kids she would have killed herself when he died, and the thing she misses most is holding his hand.On a lighter note, she also talked about how she wanted to get back at Roger Waters for the negative things he said about Ozzy after he died. And that was by sending him a Tiffany box filled with feces, which she used to do to critics who wrote negative reviews about Ozzy's shows without being there. When she did, it was her infant son Jack's poop that would be used.She ultimately decided against it, saying, “Even that is a waste, to send [crap] to him. It's a waste because he's really insignificant. But I just thought, anybody that passes has a family… you don't do that.” (Sharon's not the first musician's wife to do that. Paul and Linda McCartney sent some of their daughter Stella's poop to a journalist who earned their trust, then betrayed them.)Going forward, Sharon says she's continuing to work on an Ozzy bio-pic and that she knows who she wants to play him. When asked if it was Yunglbud she didn't confirm nor deny.https://youtu.be/aaLMsEJKZEQ Kurt Cobain's MTV Unplugged Martin D-18E has been donated to the Royal College of Music London by Peter Freedman, who paid $6,010,000 for it at an auction in 2020.

But there are plenty of other films that spark the same argument, "Is this actually a Christmas movie?" Here are 13 more:1. Every "Harry Potter" movie (2001 - 2011). All the "Potter" flicks . . . with the possible exception of the last one . . . have some kind of yuletide vibe . . . or at least a wintry one.2. "Batman Returns" (1992). One of the big set pieces is the lighting of the Gotham Christmas tree.3. "Eyes Wide Shut" (1999). Even though it was released in July, it takes place over Christmas.4. "Gremlins" (1984). This one has Christmas written all over it. And also little green, murderous demons.5. "First Blood" (1982). The first of the "Rambo" films has a Christmas tree in the background of one scene. So . . . Christmas movie!!!6. "Trading Places" (1983). There's a Christmas party, and Dan Aykroyd as a drunken Santa waving a handgun. But it doesn't end on December 25th. If it's a Christmas movie, then it also qualifies as a New Year's movie.7. "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" (2005). This one takes place during the Christmas season in L.A. And it was released in November.8. "Edward Scissorhands" (1990). Kind of a no-brainer.9. "Lethal Weapon" (1987). Another one of those action movies that HAPPENS to take place around Christmas.10. "Rocky" (1976). This might be the greatest American holiday film of all time, because it includes Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's. And also punching.11. "Hook" (1991). The scenes in the real world, outside Neverland, are set at Christmas. 12. "Iron Man 3" (2013). The whole movie plays out around Christmas.13. "The Nightmare Before Christmas" (1993). Is it a Christmas movie or a Halloween movie? Why not both?AND THAT IS YOUR CRAP ON CELEBRITIES!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Way back in March 2020, I published two episodes about VUCA. VUCA V - U -C- A is an acronym describing a concept that was developed by the U. S. Army War College to describe the world after the end of the Cold War. A world that was more Volatile, V; Uncertain, U: Complex, C; and Ambiguous, A.Peter Schein talked with me in Episode 361, published two weeks ago, about his book, Humble Inquiry: The Gentle Art of Asking Instead of Telling, which was published earlier this year.In the book, Peter refers to VUCAA. That's VUCA with an additional A. The second A stands for Anxiety. Difficult enough to deal with volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. Anxiety affects our ability to handle every one of those.What can we do about it all in the context of conflict?We can start by recognizing that we come from different perspectives.VUCAA may be our new norm. And, we will benefit from recognizing that we won't all experience it or deal with it the same way. And we can exercise as much grace as we can muster. Do you have comments or suggestions about a topic or guest? An idea or question about conflict management or conflict resolution? Let me know at jb@dovetailresolutions.com! And you can learn more about me and my work as a mediator and a Certified CINERGY® Conflict Coach at www.dovetailresolutions.com and https://www.linkedin.com/in/janebeddall/.Enjoy the show for free on your favorite podcast app or on the podcast website: https://craftingsolutionstoconflict.com/

Sarah Goodyear, Doug Gordon and Aaron Naparstek realized that no one was discussing the many cultural factors that have played a role in humanity's car dependency, or the negative impacts this reliance on motor vehicles has on human health and the planet. So they started their own show to do exactly that, The War on Cars. Gordon joins Mongabay's podcast to discuss just how human society got here — and how we might get ourselves out of it — which is also the subject of a new book he co-authored with Goodyear and Naparstek, Life After Cars: Freeing Ourselves from the Tyranny of the Automobile. "We felt that nobody was really covering the car as this overwhelming determinative force in the life of you as an individual, the life of society and nature, politics, culture, everything," he says. Take a minute to let us know what you think of our audio reporting, which you can do here. The Mongabay Newscast is available on major podcast platforms, including Apple and Spotify, and all previous episodes are accessible at our website's podcast page. Mike DiGirolamo is a host & associate producer for Mongabay based in Sydney. He co-hosts and edits the Mongabay Newscast. Find him on LinkedIn and Bluesky.

In today's episode, we're stepping into the lost art of thank-you's — and the Real Simple advice column that sparked quite the conversation. After a woman wrote in wondering why her nephew never acknowledged a generous monetary gift, the columnists told her not to take it personally… because "life is busy." But is life truly too busy for basic graciousness? Inside this episode, we explore: why being acknowledged matters more than we admit how modern culture has confused convenience with connection what etiquette actually is (hint: not rules — but relational beauty) simple, elegant ways to bring gratitude back into your daily life This isn't about rigid formality or perfection. It's about presence, refinement, and the tiny rituals that make life feel more lovely. And stay until the end for today's Little Gem: I read a cherished handwritten letter from a friend — a reminder of how meaningful real acknowledgment can be — plus a special teaser for my upcoming YouTube episode, where I'll show you the room in my home wallpapered entirely in thank-you cards. If you're craving a return to grace, connection, and everyday elegance, this episode is for you.

St. John Henry Newman (1801 - 1890) - Arguably the most famous convert since St. Paul, St. John Henry Newman defined the method for discerning the difference between legitimate growth and development in the Church, as opposed to the kinds of change that are really a deviation from Tradition and a corruption. Sorting this out led him to lose his trust in the Anglican communion, and in Protestantism in general, and unite with the Catholic Church. He would eventually be a cardinal, and he has been named co-patron of Catholic education, and now there are Newman Centers on college campuses across the US and the UK. Links Check out St. John Henry Newman in Catholic Culture Audio Books - there are over 50 titles, including lectures, poems and meditations, and sermons.
