Joanne Paul is a historian at the University of Sussex, author, and a go-to Tudor expert on YouTube. She tells Tyler she's drawn to the 16th century because it sits between the medieval and the modern, and because its paths not taken are a way of asking whether our own world had to turn out this way. Her biography Thomas More: A Life takes its subject in that spirit, refusing to reduce More to either martyr or monster. Tyler and Joanne discuss how More influenced Erasmus, what to make of Utopia, why fear drove More's persecution of heretics, how Holbein's portraits of More and Cromwell differ, what movie depictions get wrong about More, how his execution was viewed at the time, how the Tudor period paved the way for Shakespeare and the scientific revolution, the surprising social mobility of the period, how the City of London governed itself and where that clashed with the Crown, Joanne's upbringing in Canada and what drew her to English history, what she thinks sits beneath a lot of Britain's current stagnation, the subject of her next book, and much more.

People often call Anne Boleyn the love of Henry VIII's life, but was she really? In this video, I'm taking a closer look at one of the most romanticised relationships in Tudor history and asking whether we've mistaken obsession, desire and possession for love. Henry VIII pursued Anne Boleyn for years, wrote her passionate letters, and changed the course of English history in order to marry her, yet in 1536, when Anne was arrested, imprisoned in the Tower and accused of adultery, incest and treason, where was that love? I'll be exploring Henry's relationships with Anne Boleyn, Catherine of Aragon, Mary Tudor, Thomas More, Wolsey and Cromwell to ask a much bigger question: was Henry VIII capable of real love at all, or was his affection always conditional on people giving him what he wanted? In this video, I explore: - the myth of Anne Boleyn as Henry VIII's great love - what Henry's behaviour in 1536 reveals - obsession, possession and power in their relationship - whether Anne was the hunted rather than the beloved - and what Henry's treatment of wives, children and friends tells us about the man himself I'd love to know what you think: was Anne Boleyn the love of Henry VIII's life, or is that one of Tudor history's biggest myths? #AnneBoleyn #HenryVIII #TudorHistory #TheTudors #SixWives #BritishHistory #EnglishHistory #HistoryChannel #RoyalHistory #TudorEngland

Eva Schick reçoit Pierre Servan-Schreiber, avocat et aujourd'hui directeur et co-fondateur de Maubourg Conseil.Du Palais de Justice à BruxellesPierre Servan-Schreiber devient avocat après avoir assisté à des audiences au Palais de Justice dès sa deuxième année d'études. Mais c'est un stage à la Commission européenne à Bruxelles qui élargit brutalement son horizon. Il y découvre le droit européen et le droit de la concurrence, une matière qu'il n'avait pas anticipée et qui s'impose à lui comme une évidence.De retour en France, il ne cherche pas la sécurité d'une grande structure établie. Il fonde un cabinet avec trois autres avocats, sans plan d'affaires formel, dans un esprit d'équité totale : tout est partagé. Un choix de jeunesse, audacieux, qui dit déjà quelque chose de sa philosophie.Sullivan, puis Skadden : s'imposer dans un monde américainSept ans plus tard, Pierre Servan-Schreiber rejoint Sullivan and Cromwell, devenant le premier associé français recruté par un cabinet américain à Paris. Une première. Pas un accident : la conséquence directe d'une méthode construite sur la durée, celle de la réciprocité professionnelle.Sa règle est simple et constante : donner sans attendre en retour. Recommander un confrère allemand à un associé. Orienter un client vers un autre cabinet quand ce n'est pas son terrain. Cette logique de recommandation crée des chaînes de relations qui bénéficient à tous sur le long terme.C'est ensuite chez Skadden qu'il prend la tête du bureau de Paris en tant que co-managing partner, aux côtés de Christopher Baker.Manager chez Skadden : recruter, élever, rémunérerArrivé à Paris pour co-diriger le bureau, Pierre Servan-Schreiber n'hésite pas à remettre les choses en ordre. Il recrute massivement et élève rapidement le niveau technique de l'équipe.Sur la rémunération, il prend des décisions tranchées. Il augmente les salaires des collaborateurs au-dessus du marché pour attirer les meilleurs talents, et assume ce choix comme un investissement, pas une dépense.Le système de rémunération des associés repose sur une logique différente de la plupart des cabinets. Skadden utilise une approche holistique qui prend en compte le chiffre d'affaires, les heures facturables et la contribution globale au cabinet, et non les seuls chiffres individuels. L'écart de rémunération entre associés juniors et seniors est maintenu dans un rapport de 1 à 4, pour préserver la cohésion du groupe.Former sans surveillerCe qui distingue Pierre Servan-Schreiber en tant que manager, c'est sa conviction que la confiance est un outil de formation. Il laisse ses collaborateurs négocier seuls, sans supervision directe, pour développer leur assurance et leurs compétences.La méthode commence dès le premier jour. Il explique aux stagiaires le contexte de chaque tâche, pas seulement la tâche elle-même. Comprendre pourquoi augmente l'engagement et la qualité du travail.Pour les cas difficiles, sa position est nette. Des conversations franches sur les attentes, sans agressivité, permettent à la majorité des collaborateurs de comprendre les limites. Pour ceux qui ne les comprennent jamais, la séparation devient nécessaire pour préserver la cohésion de l'équipe.La langue comme enjeu de crédibilitéUn point sur lequel Pierre Servan-Schreiber est intransigeant : la maîtrise de la langue. La compréhension doit être totale pour éviter toute ambiguïté avec le client. Un accent fort peut suffire à instiller le doute sur la compréhension mutuelle, et ce doute suffit à fragiliser une relation. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

CannCon and Alpha Warrior unpack one of the most disorienting twenty four hour stretches of Trump's second term. At sunrise the President posts that the US will be hitting Iran very hard tonight and seizing Karg Island and Iran's oil markets the way it did with Venezuela. Four hours later he cancels the strikes after saying a deal was approved by Israel, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Turkey, Pakistan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, and Egypt. The guys replay the old Ghost in the Machine psyop videos to frame what they are watching and read straight from the Fifth Generation Warfare book on Target Audience analysis. Alpha makes the central argument of the show. The roller coaster is not aimed at us. The red pilled are not the target. The normies are. Trump is balancing global power to a reset point while breaking decades of conditioning about who our allies and enemies are. The second half digs into Jay Clayton being named the permanent DNI. UPenn, Sullivan and Cromwell, the firm of John Foster and Allen Dulles, Bear Stearns, Alibaba, the Tren de Aragua RICO case, and his CNBC appearance hours before the announcement.

What if Thomas More had just signed the Oath of Supremacy? He could have. Plenty of people did. Cranmer signed it. Cromwell signed it. So why didn't More, and what would have changed if he had? In this week's What If Thought Experiment, we're looking at one of the Tudor period's most interesting counterfactuals. Henry VIII didn't need More's signature legally, he wanted it because More was the gold standard of European humanist credibility. Getting More to sign meant something. And More refused to give him that. We talk about what a living More might have meant for the trajectory of the English Reformation, whether Mary I's reign might have looked different without the brutal martyrdoms of the 1530s setting the tone, and the woman at the center of it all: Margaret Roper, who bribed a guard, lied to the King's Council, and was buried holding her father's pickled head nine years later. I have complicated feelings about Thomas More. Come have them with me.

David Z. Morris is a financial journalist and author of Stealing the Future, a post-trial account of the FTX collapse and the effective altruism ideology behind it.He joins host Aaron Stanley to discuss what the criminal trial revealed that earlier books missed, why Michael Lewis's account functionally serves as a defense of the fraud, and how the ideology that shaped Sam Bankman-Fried continues to circulate under new names.Morris was part of the CoinDesk team that broke the story and later covered the trial for Protos.Topics include the SBF truther movement, speculative but documented questions about Sullivan & Cromwell's intelligence connections, Caroline Ellison's story, stimulant culture at FTX, and how effective altruism has rebranded as "abundance" and "effective accelerationism."Morris argues that EA gave SPF an ethical framework that explicitly justified stealing customer funds - and that the same logic is still being sold to engineers in Silicon Valley today.

 How did a small band of Norman soldiers in 1170 begin 800 years of English control over Ireland?  It started as a deal between rival Irish kings. It ended in plantation, dispossession, and a divided island.  This is the story of how a short-term alliance became a centuries-long occupation, and why it still shapes politics in Ireland today.  Anglo-Normans enter Ireland: Diarmait seeks Strongbow's help. Henry II claims authority; Dublin-centred foothold established. The Pale forms; Normans adopt Irish ways, Old English. Henry VIII breaks with Rome; declares himself King of Ireland. Surrender and regrant changes land and inheritance rules. Elizabeth I's conquest; Nine Years' War threatens English control. Battle of Kinsale defeat; O'Neill's submission follows. Flight of the Earls ends Gaelic political power. Plantation of Ulster seeds division leading to later partition. Cromwell's massacres; “To Hell or to Connacht” resettlement.

Tiffany from Cromwell is being ghosted after a great first date. They went mini-golfing and to dinner. She hasn't heard from her date since, and she wants to know why she's being ghosted. 

Psst, you won't believe what I've been hearing over the fence today! It's Thursday, June 4th, though the neighbors are acting like it's a Monday for some reason. I saw the Woodland kids rushing around—apparently, the seniors are counting down to their last bell on June 9th. They've got graduation rehearsals on the 12th and 15th, and even a "Senior Sunset" on the football field this Sunday. I hope they found their library books; I heard the seniors are winning the return contest, while the freshmen are still hogging 42 of them!There was shouting about the softball team's 13-0 blowout against O'Brien Tech—they're playing Cromwell this Friday. And also grumbling about the Yankees losing while the Knicks actually pulled off a win. One even mentioned taking his wife out for their 26th anniversary; they ended up at Hopewell since their first choice, Jay Gilbert's, was too busy.They got real strange, gossiping about a $15 billion floating city called the "Freedom Ship" and a missing Sherpa who just walked back into camp on Everest. Between that and their complaints about Boulder's "first-grade" flag design, I think they've had too much coffee, if that is even possible.I am going to call the Neighborhood Watch on them.

Live from Montenegro this week because the news would not wait — both of the Strip's biggest operators are heading toward going private. Barry Diller's People Inc.

Xi Jinping invoked the Thucydides Trap in his meeting with Trump, and host Matt Trump has thoughts. Lots of them. In this episode, Matt traces the concept from its single-line origin in ancient Greek history through its revival by Harvard academic Graham Allison in 2012, where it became a sophisticated-sounding argument for American defeatism and Chinese inevitability. The problem? Allison's history is shoddy, his Athens and Sparta example ignores the Persian Empire pulling the strings behind the scenes, and he happens to be a Henry Kissinger protege tied directly to the City of London financial order. Matt also riffs on Bitcoin Pizza Day, the deep state law firm Sullivan and Cromwell getting caught submitting AI-hallucinated court documents, and the broader British imperial framework that Trump is currently working to dismantle.

This week on The Geek in Review, we talk with Alex Su and Andy Chagui of Latitude about the shifting economics of law firm talent, the rise of flexible legal staffing, and the pressure AI is placing on traditional leverage models. Su, known across legal circles for his sharp commentary and creative legal industry videos, brings his background as a former Sullivan & Cromwell litigator and federal clerk to his current work leading revenue strategy at Latitude. Chagui adds the perspective of a former Carlton Fields shareholder who spent 15 years handling high-stakes federal litigation before moving into the new law space. Together, they offer a practical view of where law firm staffing is headed as clients, firms, and legal departments all face rising expectations around speed, value, and technology adoption.Latitude's model centers on high-end, flexible legal talent, experienced attorneys with Big Law or in-house backgrounds who step into law firms and corporate legal departments for specific engagements. Chagui explains that these lawyers often support overflow work, leave coverage, secondment requests, internal projects, and interim needs across practices ranging from litigation to corporate, labor, and employment. Su adds that staffing itself is not new, yet Latitude focuses on a segment of talent that traditional hiring models often miss, experienced attorneys with strong credentials who prefer engagement-based work over the standard full-time track.The conversation turns quickly to why this model is gaining traction now. Remote work, post-COVID hiring shifts, and the growing acceptance of distributed teams have made it easier for firms to bring in experienced attorneys without requiring long-term headcount commitments. Chagui notes that many Latitude attorneys have 10 or more years of experience, meaning they often need less supervision than junior lawyers and move quickly into productive work. This matters as firms face inconsistent demand, intense competition for talent, and hesitation around layoffs, which in law firms often signal weakness rather than discipline.AI adds another layer to the staffing problem. Firms have invested in tools such as Harvey, CoCounsel, and other specialized platforms, yet many knowledge management and innovation teams lack enough subject matter experts to train users, review outputs, build use cases, and handle quality control. Chagui describes Latitude lawyers helping firms train internal AI tools, review AI-generated work, and support practice-specific rollout efforts. Su points out that while some firms offer associates credit for AI training or innovation work, associates under billable hour pressure often choose client work first. Flexible talent gives firms another way to support AI adoption without asking already-stretched associates to carry the full load.Su also frames flexible talent as a new form of leverage. Clients still trust senior partners and often accept premium rates for high-value judgment, but they are increasingly skeptical of paying top-tier rates for junior-level work. In that middle layer of legal work, AI, technology, and experienced flexible attorneys give firms more options. Su calls this “outsourced leverage,” a way to support the partner-client relationship while rethinking who performs the work underneath. The discussion also highlights a career-path shift for attorneys who prefer specialized, project-based work, especially in areas like knowledge management, AI implementation, and innovation support.Looking ahead, both guests see uncertainty as the defining feature of the next phase of legal services.Listen on mobile platforms:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | Substack[Special Thanks to ⁠Legal Technology Hub⁠ for their sponsoring this episode.] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: geekinreviewpodcast@gmail.comMusic: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jerry David DeCicca⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Transcript:

“We need to develop better theories of why the other side believes what they do. Having an accurate theory includes recognizing if somebody is a psychopath — but also recognizing that psychopaths are rarer than we think.” — Audun Dahl If you're not a liberal at twenty, you have no heart; if you're not a conservative at forty, you have no head. While this sounds like an annoying cliché (especially to people under forty), it does recognize that our moral views change. But, as the Cornell psychologist Audun Dahl argues in his new book Between Fixed and Fickle: Why Our Moral Views Keep Changing, the most interesting question is why our moral principles always seem in flux. Why people who say cheating is wrong cheat. Why people who say violence is wrong turn a blind moral eye to their own insurrections. Dahl is a psychologist, not a moralist. He is not interested in what we should believe, but in what we think we believe. His central finding is that human morality is neither fixed nor fickle. People change their moral views when they believe they have good reasons to — reasons they can, indeed, articulate. The problem isn't hypocrisy per se. It's that we struggle to understand why the other side believes what it does. In morally polarised societies like contemporary America, we over-attribute psychopathy to political opponents. Most Republicans and most Democrats do have genuine moral commitments. But they are just different principles, applied to parallel moral hierarchies. Rather than morality perhaps, we need more empathy. Don't judge. Understand. Five Takeaways •       Two Kinds of Moral Change: Dahl identifies two forms of moral change that should trouble us. Situational moral change: people espouse one principle and act against it in a specific situation — the person who says cheating is wrong and cheats on an exam, the January 6th rioter who says violence is wrong. Historical moral change: the same principles coexisting with practices that contradict them — Thomas Jefferson proclaiming inalienable rights while enslaving hundreds. Both are not simply hypocrisy: they reflect the genuine messiness of moral life, where competing principles create constant conflict. •       Morality Emerges in the First Three Years of Life: Dahl's most striking empirical finding: by around age three, virtually all children develop an intrinsic concern with how we ought to treat other sentient beings. It is not taught as an external rule. It emerges. A three-year-old will say: it's wrong to harm others, you shouldn't steal. No other animal acquires this. It is a uniquely human characteristic. The question is not whether people have moral commitments — almost everyone does. The question is how those commitments interact with other concerns, pressures, and competing principles. •       We Over-Attribute Psychopathy to the Other Side: One of the most robustly documented findings in political psychology: Republicans and Democrats don't merely think the other side is wrong. They think the other side is evil — likely to condone things they would never condone. Research shows both sides significantly over-estimate the other's extremism and moral depravity. Dahl's prescription: develop better theories of why the other side believes what it does. An accurate theory includes recognising genuine psychopaths and bad actors when they exist. It also includes recognising that they are rarer than we think. •       Jefferson, Epstein, and the Exceptions: Two historical anchors. Jefferson: the author of the Declaration of Independence's inalienable rights, who enslaved hundreds. The question is not whether he was a hypocrite — he clearly was — but how someone could hold both positions simultaneously. The answer Dahl finds most compelling: conflicting moral principles applied with different weights in different contexts, not the absence of moral concern. Epstein: the opposite case, a man who concealed an absence of moral concern behind a veneer of respectability. The lesson: some people genuinely lack it, but they are exceptions. •       Elbow Room: The Hilary Mantel Closer: Dahl's two wishes for a more moral world. First: that we understand why the other side disagrees. Second: that we have more “elbow room” — the phrase from Hilary Mantel's Cromwell trilogy — to make decisions based on what we actually think is right rather than what we need to do to survive. Machiavelli and Cromwell operated in a world where survival left almost no room for principled action. If that is becoming our world again, the prospects for moral progress are bleak. Dahl is cautiously hopeful. The creative, restless energy of each new generation — willing to say this is unjust, this is unfair — is what abolished slavery. It is what drives moral change still. About the Guest Audun Dahl is Associate Professor of Psychology at Cornell University. He is the author of Between Fixed and Fickle: Why Our Moral Views Keep Changing (Harvard University Press, April 2026). He grew up in Norway and is based in Ithaca, New York. References: •       Between Fixed and Fickle: Why Our Moral Views Keep Changing by Audun Dahl (Harvard University Press, April 2026). •       Hilary Mantel, Wolf Hall trilogy — cited by Dahl as capturing the “elbow room” problem of moral action under survival pressure. •       Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning — referenced in the same context as Mantel. •       Episode 2906: Dylan Gottlieb on Yuppies — the companion episode on how professional class morality was shaped by competing incentives. About Keen On America Nobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen.

It's April 1536 and Thomas Cromwell has gone home sick. Except he's not sick. He's deciding what to do about Anne Boleyn. In this What If episode, we play out three scenarios from that single moment of decision: what Cromwell actually chose and why it signed his own death warrant four years later, what happens if he removes Anne without killing her and she becomes a Protestant cause célèbre in exile, and what happens if he does nothing and bets on her survival. None of the roads end well. But they end very differently. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Taylor Cromwell is a writer, content strategist, and the founder of Creator Diaries, a newsletter exploring the stories and strategies behind the creator-to-founder transition. She works with companies like beehiiv and HubSpot, and previously wrote for The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg. She's obsessed with the intersection of media, storytelling, and the creator economy.

The Australian company planning a vast open-cast gold mine in the hills near Cromwell has gone head to head with its new neighbours at a hearing before a fast-track panel. Otago Southland reporter Katie Todd reports.

The Atlantic published an article based on multiple insider accounts describing low morale at the FBI, citing current director Kash Patel's drinking and frequent absences. Patel promised swift legal retaliation and made good with an underwhelming $250 million defamation complaint. Amidst this scandal, Patel took to the stage with Acting AG Todd Blanche to announce criminal charges against the Southern Poverty Law Center and, by extension, tell hate groups that the Trump administration has their backs. As a distraction tactic, the announcement flopped because Patel spent the press conference undermining his own defamation case. On top of this, the no one at the DOJ bothered to double-check the charging documents, because the indictment fails to allege a whole element. In non-DOJ news, Sullivan & Cromwell sent a letter to the court apologizing for filing a number of documents with AI hallucinations.

April 23, 2026: OpenAI released GPT-5.5 today — its second major model in six weeks. But while the software accelerates, the physical infrastructure powering it is triggering gunfire at council members' homes, Molotov cocktails at tech CEOs, and a grassroots rebellion that just ousted every incumbent on a Missouri city council one week after they voted yes on a data center. We also dig into the first-ever U.S. Census Bureau data on how AI is actually being adopted across American businesses — and why the real number is very different from what McKinsey has been telling you. And we look at what happened when Sullivan and Cromwell, the law firm that advises OpenAI on safe AI deployment, filed a federal court brief riddled with AI hallucinations. 

One of the big changes Charles II made upon his return to his kingdom was to reopen the theaters that Cromwell and his zealots had shuttered 18 years earlier, at the start of the English Civil War. He also encouraged theaters to hire women, creating England's first class of actresses. And Charles being Charles, he also dated a few of those newly minted performers. Today, Alicia talks about Nell Gwyn, whose rags to riches story is an iconic part of Restoration England. Born to a (potentially unmarried) brothel owner with a serious alcohol addiction, she got her start in the theater not as an actress, but selling concessions. She was a beauty and a natural mimic, and soon enough, the manager of the King's Company, Thomas Killigrew, began training her for the stage. By 1665, her star was on the rise, and by the time she and Charles II were becoming a long-term couple in early 1668, Pretty, Witty Nell Gwyn was one of London's most notable people, beloved especially as a comedian.

6. Oliver Cromwell: Lord Protector of the Republic Guest Author: Jonathan Healey Following the regicide, England became a republic under the "Instrument of Government," a written constitution drafted by John Lambert. Oliver Cromwell rose as Lord Protector, using military skill to bring stability to a nation surrounded by hostile European monarchs. Though he refused the crown in 1657, favoring a rule based on Parliamentary authority, Cromwell's reign was defined by his personal strength and the imposition of unpopular Puritan values. Despite his inconsistencies and brutal campaigns in Ireland, he successfully held disparate factions together until his death in 1658, after which the republic began to collapse. (6)1650 JAN LIEVENS

7. The Restoration and the Genius of Margaret Cavendish Guest Author: Jonathan Healey In 1660, after a period of political chaos, George Monck facilitated the return of Charles II, prioritizing national stability over the failed republican experiment. This "Restoration" reasserted the Anglican Church and Parliamentary control over finances, though the era was also marked by the grotesque posthumous execution of Cromwell's corpse. Healey highlights the intellectual vibrancy of the time through Margaret Cavendish, the Duchess of Newcastle. Her pioneering 1666 work, *The Blazing World*, blended science, power, and early feminism, creating a bizarre "science fiction" parable that challenged the male-dominated scientific luminaries of the Royal Society.
