Despite hopes for a Feel Good Summer Friday, the Mets' disappointing season, potentially their worst, is making it difficult for Gio and Jerry. The team is plagued by a "loser virus," consistently finding ways to lose, making the season a nightmare. Gio questions the clubhouse atmosphere, while Jerry and C-Lo share the frustration. Criticisms include Cedric Mullins' poor route and his trade for Tyrone Taylor, manager Carlos Mendoza's lack of answers, and overall sloppy play. An overnight caller suggested firing Mendoza for Wally Backman, though Jerry believes Carlos Beltran will be the next manager. The hour concludes with a caller from Missouri rubbing salt in the wound, and another whose brother-in-law, a 60-year veteran of Shea Stadium and Citi Field (starting with The Beatles' concert), is throwing out tonight's first pitch.

In his new book Coming Clean, Eric Heinze rejects the idea that we should be less woke. In fact, we need more wokeness, but of a new kind. Yes, we must teach about classism, racism, colonialism, patriarchy, and other gross injustices, but we must also educate the public about the left's own support for regimes that damaged and destroyed millions of lives for over a century—Stalin in the Soviet Union, Mao Zedong in China, Pol Pot in Cambodia, or the Kim dynasty in North Korea. Criticisms of Western wrongdoing are certainly important, yet Heinze explains that most on the political left have rarely engaged in the kinds of open and public self-scrutiny that they demand from others. Citing examples as different as the Ukraine war, LGBTQ+ people in Cuba, the concept of “hatred,” and the problem of leftwing antisemitism, Heinze explains why and how the left must change its memory politics if it is to claim any ethical high ground. Eric Heinze is Professor of Law and Humanities at Queen Mary University of London. He is the author of The Most Human Right: Why Free Speech is Everything (MIT Press), among other books, and has published over 100 articles and has been featured in radio and television and other media around the world.

Why are even black and Hispanic Americans rejecting it? What does Trump get right that DEI advocates can't answer? And how did elites like Elizabeth Warren and Zohran Mamdani game the system? Victor Davis Hanson answers these questions and explains how DEI's unravelling will pan out on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”   “ It predicates hiring, retention, promotion, tenure on the color of your skin and not the content of your character, or your gender or your sexual orientation. And so, it's a winning issue for Donald Trump, when you look at the polls. It's not just that 60% of so-called white people, who often feel they're victimized by DEI are opposed, but Hispanics and blacks also poll that they are against it. And people—that's baffled people. But it's kind of obvious when you think about it. It's commonsensical.   “DEI was based on poverty and past documented racism. … Mr. Mamdani says he's a minority and he is black, and he needs special preference. He also said he was gonna go after “white or affluent neighborhoods.” He's Indian American. His family originally came from India. Indian Americans, according to our census, are the wealthiest, most privileged ethnic group in America.So, what I'm getting at is your skin color no longer can be correlated, exactly, with your class.”

In this message, we reflected on the deceptive nature of the world system and God's loving response toward His people. Through Scripture, we explored how God uses chastisement not to condemn us but to keep us aligned with His truth. We considered the role of judgment, prophecy, and obedience in preserving our spiritual identity. We recognized how the world subtly influences thoughts, behaviors, and even religious traditions, often masking rebellion in the guise of culture or progress. By abiding in Christ, walking in truth, and receiving divine counsel, we are called to resist temptation and live as distinct from the world. The meeting closed with gratitude for God's unwavering love, and a prayer for His protection and guidance.

The Fork In Your Ear Podcast Ep #197 BANANZA! (Grok 3 Summarization Transcript For) The Fork In Your Ear Podcast Episode Summary – July 19, 2025 In this episode of the The Fork In Your Ear Podcast, hosts Tim K. Trotter and Nate Foo dive into a lively discussion about recent entertainment and gaming topics, despite technical hiccups and life's interruptions. Recorded on July 19, 2025, the episode covers a range of pop culture updates, nostalgic throwbacks, and exciting new releases, with their characteristic banter and humor. Key Topics Discussed: Entertainment News: Passings: The hosts mourn the loss of actor Julian McMahon, known for roles as the devil in Charmed and Dr. Doom in the Fox Fantastic Four films, who passed away at 56 from cancer. They also pay tribute to composer Mark Snow, famous for his work on The X-Files, Supernatural, and Smallville, who died at 78. Nostalgia Kick: Nate shares his recent indulgence in 80s and 90s classics via streaming channels like Pluto TV, revisiting Crocodile Dundee 1 and 2, and RoboCop 3. He notes the surprising presence of actor Stephen Root across these films and Star Trek: The Next Generation, highlighting Root's prolific career. King of the Hill Revival: The hosts discuss the upcoming King of the Hill Season 14, set to release on August 4, 2025, on Hulu and Disney+. The trailer features Bobby as a chef, with “boomer humor” and a new voice actor, Toby Huss, replacing the late Johnny Hardwick as Dale Gribble. Murderbot Season 2: The Apple TV+ series Murderbot is renewed for a second season, with the showrunners addressing fan feedback about episode length, aiming for longer episodes and staying true to the books while incorporating callbacks to Season 1's cast. Dexter Resurrection: Tim, a Dexter fan, raves about the two-episode premiere of Dexter Resurrection, a sequel to Dexter: New Blood. The series introduces new characters, including Uma Thurman's mysterious role, and sets up a multi-season arc with a return to the original series' vibe. Looney Tunes Movie: Tim reviews The Day the Earth Blew Up, a hand-animated Looney Tunes film on HBO Max. He praises its humor, classic animation style, and surprising edge, though notes its unconventional release under Ketchup Entertainment. Superman (James Gunn): Initially skeptical, Tim admits James Gunn's Superman film exceeded expectations. He praises its balance of humor, action, and a humanized Superman, with standout performances by Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor and David Corenswet as Superman. Criticisms include an overpacked plot and excessive focus on Krypto the dog. Harry Potter Series: Filming has begun for HBO's Harry Potter series, with the hosts intrigued by the race-swapped Severus Snape and the challenge of casting new child actors to match the iconic original trio. Star Trek Updates: The hosts discuss Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3, enjoying its mix of serious and wacky episodes, including a Q cameo. However, they address rumors of Starfleet Academy and Strange New Worlds Season 5 potentially being shelved due to a Paramount-Skydance merger, and controversy over a proposed remake of the original Star Trek series with the Strange New Worlds cast. Gaming Updates: Helldivers 2 on Xbox: The hosts celebrate Helldivers 2 coming to Xbox Series S/X on August 26, 2025, published by PlayStation Studios' PC port team, Nixxes. They discuss Sony's financial motivations and the game's appeal to Xbox players. Nintendo Switch 2: Tim shares his experience using the Switch 2's game-sharing feature, playing Super Mario 3D World co-op with a colleague. He also discusses The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, praising its updated visuals and challenging final boss. Cyberpunk 2077: The hosts cover the Cyberpunk 2077 2.3 update, adding missions, cars, and an auto-driving feature. They highlight its performance on Switch 2, leveraging DLSS for superior visuals compared to Steam Deck, and note its new Mac version optimized for Apple Silicon. Donkey Kong Bonanza: Tim raves about Donkey Kong Bonanza, a Nintendo Switch 2 title developed by the Super Mario Odyssey team. The game blends open-zone exploration with voxel-based destruction, allowing players to smash through levels as Donkey Kong. Despite a lackluster tutorial, its innovative mechanics and polished chaos earn high praise, positioning it as a potential Game of the Year contender. Banter and Personal Notes: The hosts joke about technical issues, including Discord camera settings and a faulty USB hub, and Nate's “Trumpian tan” from a recent boat trip with Starlink-powered internet. Nate's nostalgia for terrestrial TV leads to a discussion about streaming channels like Pluto TV mimicking that experience. Tim's exhaustion from a tough work week contrasts with the joy of playing Donkey Kong Bonanza to unwind. Closing: The episode wraps with the hosts thanking listeners for sticking with them despite irregular episodes due to life's demands. They promise more The Fork In Your Ear Podcast content with their signature sign-off, “Get forked, catch you on the flippity flop.” Where to Listen: Available on platforms hosting theThe Fork In Your Ear Podcast.

Edition No187 | 13-07-2025 - In this Silicon Bites, we'll look at the latest comments of Russian patriots calling out their own army – not for its crimes but for its ineffectiveness, and inability to mount breakthrough offensives. There are rumours of North Korean troops being drafted to support, Putin's “last throw of the dice” in a major summer offensive. We look at Russia's brutal tactics and Ukraine's defence. And finally ask whether economic and manpower strains in Russia mean that this is the last year in which Putin can maintain full combat operations. And how could an increase in Western support for Ukraine further pile pressure on Putin's stretched resources. Let's unpack Putin's **last-ditch gambit** for a maximalist victory in Ukraine. ----------DESCRIPTION:This Will Break Russia: Unpacking Putin's Final Summer OffensiveIn this edition of Silicon Bytes, we delve deep into the rumored major summer offensive by Russia and its potential impacts on the war and Putin's regime. The episode examines Russian patriots' criticisms of their military's inefficacy, rumors of North Korean troops joining the conflict, and the overall sustainability of Russia's combat operations. Insights from key Russian figures like Igor Gerkin and Maxim Kalashnikov highlight the growing dissatisfaction within Russia. We also discuss Western support for Ukraine, the strategic importance of economic pressures, and how these factors might push the war towards a decisive turning point. Analysts warn that the coming months could determine the future of Putin's regime, with significant implications for global geopolitics.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction and Support Acknowledgment00:37 Russian Patriots Criticize Their Own Military00:51 North Korean Troops and Russia's Summer Offensive01:12 Economic and Manpower Strains in Russia01:23 Putin's Last Ditch Gambit02:11 Criticism from Russian Nationalists03:06 Strategic Surrender and North Korean Involvement05:24 Plans for a Large-Scale Offensive06:24 Challenges and Criticisms of the Offensive14:46 Economic Collapse and Recruitment Issues16:25 Western Support and Strategic Shifts17:57 Sanctions and Economic Pressure on Russia19:26 Conclusion: The Limits of Putin's War----------LINKS: https://www.ft.com/content/ef899f3a-3f93-4aef-824a-ecdd75f6dcc0 https://understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-july-10-2025 https://www.rusi.org/explore-our-research/publications/commentary/ukraine-prepares-russian-summer-offensive https://www.economist.com/interactive/graphic-detail/2025/07/09/russias-summer-ukraine-offensive-looks-like-its-deadliest-so-far https://kyivindependent.com/russias-summer-offensive-becomes-its-costliest-campaign-during-ukraine-invasion-economist-reports-06-2025/ https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/06/29/russia-summer-offensive-fizzling-out-ukraine-putin/ https://edition.cnn.com/2025/06/29/europe/russia-summer-offensive-kyiv-ukraine-intl https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/06/30/russia-military-challenges-summer-offensive/ https://www.economist.com/europe/2025/06/08/vladimir-putin-unleashes-a-summer-offensive-against-ukraine https://www.economist.com/europe/2025/06/08/vladimir-putin-unleashes-a-summer-offensive-against-ukraine https://kyivindependent.com/ukraine-halts-russian-advance-in-sumy-syrskyi-says-summer-offensive-faltering-06-2025/ https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jul/11/ukraine-war-briefing-trump-poised-to-send-weapons-under-biden-style-drawdown-say-sources?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-gb ----------

If you care about our ocean's fish populations and sustainable fishing practices, this is a must-listen!  00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome 00:24 NOAA's Role and Public Perception 01:48 Goals and Collaboration with State Authorities 04:08 Data Collection Challenges 06:24 Commercial vs. Recreational Data Collection 07:24 Release Mortality and Observation Methods 10:33 Regulations on Descending Devices and Venting Tools 14:13 Understanding Fisheries Management Structure 22:34 Red Snapper Population and Management 29:43 Data Collection Methods in Fisheries 30:41 Challenges and Criticisms in Sampling 31:19 The Gold Standard: Fishery Independent Surveys 38:18 Technological Advances in Data Processing 41:02 Cooperative Research and Citizen Science 43:10 Grouper Regulations and Population Management 45:27 Shark Management and Population Trends 57:46 Recreational Anglers' Role in Fisheries Management 01:00:23 Conclusion and Contact Information

The same Democrats who turned a blind eye when Obama dropped 26,000 bombs in a single year are now clutching their pearls over Trump's targeted strike on Iran. Hanson breaks this down on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “  Barack Obama, in the single year, 2016, he dropped 26,000 bombs. And it wasn't just in Syria. It wasn't just in Iraq. It wasn't just in Afghanistan. He dropped them in Libya. He dropped them in Somalia. He dropped them in Yemen. 26,000 bombs. And they all had one thing in common. He didn't think he had to go to the Congress to ask permission. “ All they're doing is saying, 'If Donald Trump does something, we are going to be irate. We're going to use pornography. We're going to use smuddy language. And we're going to oppose him. And now, we're going to impeach him.' And some people in that party said, 'This is so unhinged. It's so contradictory. It's so paradoxical. It's so hypocritical.'”

Refresher On The Rules For Discussing Israeli Wars

Going Rogue With Caitlin Johnstone

Okay it's been a few months since the last war Israel started, so now that Iran's on the chopping block let's go over the rules once again. Rule 1: Israel is never the aggressor. If Israel attacks someone it's either a response to an aggression that happened in the past, or a preemptive attack to thwart an imminent aggression in the future. Rule 2: History automatically restarts at the date of the last act of aggression against Israel. If someone attacks Israel it was completely unprovoked, because nothing happened before the attack on Israel. Rule 3: Anything bad that Israel does is justified by Rule 2. This is true even if it does things that would be considered completely unjustifiable if it were done by a nation like Russia or China. Rule 4: Israel has a right to defend itself, but nobody else does. Rule 5: Israel never bombs civilians, it bombs Bad Guys. If shocking numbers of civilians die it's because they were actually Bad Guys, or because Bad Guys killed them, or because a Bad Guy stood too close to them. If none of those reasons apply then it's for some other mysterious reason we are still waiting for the IDF to investigate. Rule 6: Criticizing anything Israel does means you hate Jewish people. There is no other possible reason for anyone to oppose acts of mass military slaughter besides a seething, obsessive hatred for a small Abrahamic faith. Rule 7: Nothing Israel does is ever as bad as the hateful criticisms described in Rule 6. Criticisms of Israel's actions are always worse than Israel's actions themselves, because those critics hate Jews and wish to commit another Holocaust. Preventing this must consume 100 percent of our political energy and attention. Rule 8: Israelis are only ever the victims and never the victimizers. If Israelis kill Iranians, it's because the Iranians hate Jews. If Iranians kill Israelis, it's because the Iranians hate Jews. Israel is an innocent little lamb that just wants to mind its own business in peace. Rule 9: The fact that Israel is literally always in a state of war with its neighbors and with displaced indigenous populations must be interpreted as proof that Rule 8 is true instead of proof that Rule 8 is ridiculous nonsense. Rule 10: The lives of people in Muslim nations are much, much less important to us than western lives or Israeli lives. Nobody is allowed to think too hard about why this might be. Rule 11: The media always tell the truth about Israel and its various conflicts. If you doubt this then you are likely in violation of Rule 6. Rule 12: Unsubstantiated claims which portray Israel's enemies in a negative light may be reported as factual news stories without any fact checking or qualifications, while extensively evidenced records of Israeli criminality must be reported on with extreme skepticism and doubtful qualifiers like “Iran claims”, “Hezbollah says” or “according to the Hamas-run health ministry”. This is important to do because otherwise you might get accused of being a propagandist. Rule 13: Israel must continue to exist in its current iteration no matter what it costs or how many people need to die. There is no need to present any logically or morally grounded reasons why this is the case. If you dispute this then you are likely in violation of Rule 6. Rule 14: The US government has never lied about anything ever, and is always on the right side of every conflict. Rule 15: Israel is the last bastion of freedom and democracy in the middle east and therefore must be defended, no matter how many journalists it has to assassinate, no matter how many press institutions it needs to shut down, no matter how many protests its supporters need to dismantle, no matter how much free speech it needs to eliminate, no matter how many civil rights its western backers need to erase, and no matter how many elections its lobbyists need to buy.

For the past five decades, every Republican president except Gerald Ford has tried to cut funding for public media. But it has never dealt with a moment like this. The Trump administration is attacking public media from every possible angle. His executive order demanded the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and all executive agencies halt all funding for NPR and PBS; the FCC is investigating NPR and PBS's corporate underwriting; and this week, the House is expected to take up a rescissions package that would claw back all federal funding for NPR and PBS. Katherine Maher, the CEO of NPR, is fighting back. On May 27th, NPR and three Colorado member stations filed a suit challenging the president's executive order. (PBS followed suit a few days later.) Suing the president is, obviously, an uncomfortable position for a media organization which has to cover him, But according to Maher, NPR is doing its patriotic duty to defend the First Amendment. Kara and Maher discuss the potential effects of that defunding would have on PBS, its member stations, and the communities that it serves; the criticisms of NPR and Maher herself has received, from conservatives, on one hand, and some journalists, on the other; and her approach to innovation within NPR.

In this lecture, Stefan examines Ludovic Jullali's critique of anarcho-capitalism through the lens of Robert Nozick's philosophies. Jullali categorizes it as a "dangerous and contradictory doctrine," arguing that its intellectual shortcomings hinder its viability in practice. Jullali discusses natural rights, emphasizing the implications of mutual protection associations in a stateless society.Stefan contrasts voluntary private protection with state coercion, asserting that the competitive nature of markets limits any single agency's dominance. Stefan addresses economic inefficiencies of state systems and advocates for the evolution of protective agencies that prioritize prevention over reaction to crime. Throughout the lecture, he responds to critiques regarding external threats and competing legal systems, ultimately defending anarcho-capitalism as a framework that promotes individual rights and decentralized governance.Link to article: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/374088008_A_Criticism_of_Anarcho-CapitalismGET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025
