Podcasts about Crumbling

Interview starts at 27:10   The neuroscience of spiritual awakening, how Kundalini yoga shaped her life, and why she believes listening inward is especially important in a time of cultural confusion. She also explains how her work in geriatric psychiatry connects spirituality, brain health, stress regulation, and prevention strategies for aging populations. Helen Lavretsky, MD, MS, is a Professor In-Residence in the Department of Psychiatry at UCLA (Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior), a leading geriatric integrative psychiatrist, and a pioneer in mind-body approaches to late-life mental health. https://drhelenlavretsky.com/book/living-from-the-soul/ https://drhelenlavretsky.com/about/   In this episode: Dr. Helen Lavretsky shares her unusual path from the former Soviet Union into psychiatry, neuroscience, and later Kundalini yoga teacher training. She explains how growing up in an atheist Soviet environment still left room for underground spirituality passed through families and oral tradition. She describes a six-month temporary enlightenment experience after Kundalini practice and why it was physically intense, hard to describe, and initially unsustainable. The conversation focuses on her book Living from the Soul and the idea that people are increasingly being pushed to trust their own wisdom instead of outside authorities. She discusses how spirituality shows up in geriatric psychiatry, especially for older adults, dementia caregivers, and long COVID patients dealing with mortality and stress. She argues that meditation, breathing practices, yoga, tai chi, and qigong can improve self-regulation, brain health, and decision-making under pressure. She outlines how brain health should be cultivated across the lifespan, starting in childhood and even in utero, rather than only addressed later in life. She notes that lifestyle factors such as sleep, movement, diet, and stress management matter for dementia prevention and broader cognitive resilience. She emphasizes that meaning, purpose, and connection to soul are central to mental well-being. Key frameworks: Soul-based self-inquiry- asking inwardly what is right for you rather than defaulting to external authority Brain health across the lifespan- prevention beginning in childhood and even before birth Stress self-regulation toolkit- breathing, meditation, yoga, tai chi, and qigong as practical nervous-system supports Constitutional approach to diet- different people may need different foods based on ancestry, metabolism, and predisposition   Become a Lord or Lady with 1k donations over time.

Mold. No heat. Crumbling infrastructure. Residents of Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority properties have been living in these conditions for decades — and the people in charge have largely looked the other way.In this episode of The Public Good, host Dejia James of Partnership for the Public Good (PPG) is joined by community activist Nate Boyd and organizer John Washington, co-founder of the National Tenant Union Federation, for a candid and powerful conversation on the ongoing crisis inside BMHA public housing.

[00:30] Sports Analysts Plead the Fifth (27 minutes) The tide of public opinion is turning against “experts” like Dr. Anthony Fauci. Prominent sports analysts are joking about pleading the Fifth and admitting that pandemic scaremongering was overblown—but most still won't admit their personal role in the coronavirus debacle. [27:30] Wanted: A Strong German Leader (9 minutes) Crises are pushing Europeans to seek a strong leader. [36:00] Tales of a Fake Professor (19 minutes) Cambridge University “Professor” Jason Arday has been exposed as a serial liar. DEI-blinded news organizations and institutions promoted his ridiculous backstory for years instead of fact-checking the obviously false claims.

Prison isn't meant to be easy and being inside is punishment.   If every incarcerated human has a fair designation process, safe infrastructure, and meaningful programming, then safety and rehabilitation happens.  But in two stunning developments, two things are now unequivocally clear:  the facilities are crumbling, and the designation process can now be weaponized by the DOJ.  A quietly updated BOP policy now gives DOJ explicit authority to override its own classification system and place any inmate anywhere — a power first exposed by the Ghislaine Maxwell transfer.  At the same time, the Bureau announced a wave of facility closures so poorly managed it tried to shut down a prison that doesn't exist, all while sitting on a $4 billion maintenance backlog and shrinking access to the programs that actually reduce sentences.  In the one ray of hope, BOP announces that tablets are coming soon.  This will increase programming, visitation and leisure opportunities for inmates.  In this episode, Doug Passon sits down with sentencing expert Mark Allenbaugh and BOP insider Walt Pavlo (prisonology.com, Forbes) to break down all three developments.  IN THIS EPISODE:  •     03:00:  BOP designation policy 5100.08  and the DOJ putting its thumb on the scale for good and for evil; •     05:06:  The Ghislaine Maxwell transfer: from low-security sex offender unit to a camp; •     18:38:  Whose job is it to fix BOP capacity? Congress and the U.S. Sentencing Commission both take the blame; •     22:04:  Practice pointer: get prosecutors on record at sentencing about designation interference; •     30:07:  BOP tries to close a facility that doesn't exist — and one that's been closed for years •     34:03:  The $4 billion deferred maintenance backlog, explained •     44:09:  The tablet rollout: Walt Pavlo's Forbes take on "one of the most important reforms in years"   LINKS:  prisonology.com Federal Bureau Of Prisons Rolling Out E-Tablets

Thousands of migrants just flooded into the Spanish territory of Ceuta from Morocco in a scene of absolute chaos, and local officials are begging for a national emergency. The border fences totally collapsed as hordes of people, mainly Moroccans, smashed through gates, swam across with inflatable tubes, and poured into the tiny North African enclave. Civil guard officers described the situation as “absolute chaos,” with thousands crossing and at least three people dying in the attempt. Residents locked themselves inside as shops and restaurants shuttered. Spain is now deploying military units, diving teams, and vessels while the interior minister heads to Ceuta. Morocco used tear gas and water cannons, but the surge still overwhelmed both sides. This isn't new — a similar mass rush hit in 2021 — and the White House is pointing straight at Europe's far-left globalist policies that enabled it. Regular Americans watching this know exactly what open-border experiments look like when the numbers get real. Mass migration pressure, failed European border security, and the consequences of ignoring the warnings are all on full display.

White voters without a college education have been a core component of Donald Trump's base and key to putting him in the White House. But a new poll from CNN shows that group now disapproves of Trump more than approves by 8 percentage points. One insight in the poll is that Americans by a wide margin thing Trump is focused on the wrong priorities. Jen Psaki takes a closer look. Jen Psaki reports on the postponement of a Senate committee vote on the nomination of Donald Trump's former criminal defense lawyer, Todd Blanche, to be attorney general. A vote was contingent on Blanche agreeing in writing to drop his pursuit of a settlement with the IRS to fund payouts to January 6 rioters. Trump was apparently not willing to allow Blanche to make that agreement. Senator Adam Schiff joins to discuss. Jen Psaki talks with Josh Turek, Democratic candidate for Senate from Iowa, in his first interview since being endorsed by former President Barack Obama. And Maine's Democratic nominee for Senate, Troy Jackson, also joins Jen in the studio. To listen to this show and other MS podcasts without ads, sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts.

Guest: David E. Sanger, the White House and national security correspondent for The New York Times. Background reading:  After several days of strikes, Mr. Trump notified Congress that fighting with Iran had begun again, and he announced shipping fees that his administration previously deemed illegal.

Crumbling. Rat infested. Decrepit. Unsafe for human habitation. Perhaps not the words you would want to describe the official residence of Canada's leader-- but 24 Sussex Drive has been called it all. In fact, no Prime Minister has lived in the more than a century old mansion for a decade, after Justin Trudeau moved into Rideau Cottage on the grounds of Rideau Hall-- the home of the Governor General-- upon becoming Prime Minister in 2015. But now, Prime Minister Mark Carney wants to change that. He's started a fundraiser to pay for the renovations needed to make 24 Sussex habitable again-- though he insists no matter what, he'll never live in the more than 30-bedroom residence. Today on The Big Story, host Caryn Ceolin speaks with Paul Deegan, CEO of Deegan Public Strategies, about the plan, what he thinks it signifies for Canada, and whether or not Canadians can get behind the plan.

Story Transcript:It: Nel cuore dell'estate, sotto un sole implacabile, Luca e Giulia si trovavano in piedi davanti a una struttura pericolante, l'antica biblioteca della loro scuola.En: In the heart of summer, under an unrelenting sun, Luca and Giulia stood in front of a crumbling structure, the ancient library of their school.It: Il mondo, molto tempo prima vivo e prospero, adesso era un luogo desolato, ricordato solo dai racconti di qualche anziano.En: The world, once vibrant and prosperous, was now a desolate place, remembered only in the tales of a few elders.It: Ma Luca e Giulia non erano interessati solo ai racconti.En: But Luca and Giulia weren't just interested in stories.It: Volevano la verità.En: They wanted the truth.It: "Giulia," disse Luca, il volto illuminato da una determinazione che non riusciva a nascondere, "dobbiamo entrare.En: "Giulia," said Luca, his face lit by a determination he couldn't hide, "we need to go inside.It: C'è un libro qui, un libro importante."En: There's a book here, an important book."It: Giulia sospirò, guardando gli edifici attorno a loro che sembravano volersi sbriciolare da un momento all'altro.En: Giulia sighed, looking at the buildings around them that seemed ready to crumble at any moment.It: La sua mente era un mix di curiosità e dubbio.En: Her mind was a mix of curiosity and doubt.It: "Se lo troviamo, credi davvero che cambierà qualcosa?"En: "If we find it, do you really think it will change anything?"It: chiese.En: she asked.It: "Sì, credo di sì," rispose Luca.En: "Yes, I believe it will," Luca replied.It: "Questo viaggio è rischioso, ma dobbiamo sapere."En: "This journey is risky, but we need to know."It: Con un gesto coraggioso, Luca spinse la porta che cigolò tristemente.En: With a brave gesture, Luca pushed the door, which groaned sadly.It: L'interno della biblioteca era un quadro di polvere e oblio.En: The inside of the library was a picture of dust and oblivion.It: Le pareti, un tempo piene di colore, erano ora crepate e invase dalla vegetazione.En: The walls, once full of color, were now cracked and overrun by vegetation.It: Fascicoli di luce solare filtravano attraverso le finestre rotte, danzando sugli scaffali pieni di storie dimenticate.En: Shafts of sunlight filtered through the broken windows, dancing on shelves full of forgotten stories.It: Con passi attenti, si addentrarono in questo santuario del sapere perduto.En: With cautious steps, they ventured into this sanctuary of lost knowledge.It: A ogni angolo, l'edificio sembrava supplicare misericordia, ma il loro scopo era troppo importante per cedere alla paura.En: At every corner, the building seemed to plead for mercy, but their purpose was too important to yield to fear.It: Giulia esaminava i titoli sbiaditi.En: Giulia examined the faded titles.It: "Luca, qui!En: "Luca, here!It: Potrebbe essere questo!"En: This might be it!"It: indicò un libro antico, dalle copertine logore.En: she indicated an old book, with worn covers.It: Mentre lo prendevano, un rumore sordo riecheggiò nel silenzio.En: As they took it, a dull noise echoed in the silence.It: Un meccanismo di protezione, vecchio ma efficace, si attivò, tendendo una trappola nascosta.En: A protective mechanism, old but effective, was activated, springing a hidden trap.It: "Attenti!"En: "Watch out!"It: gridò Giulia, afferrando Luca per il braccio.En: shouted Giulia, grabbing Luca by the arm.It: Respirando a fondo, Luca usò tutto il suo ingegno e cercò di disattivarlo.En: Breathing deeply, Luca used all his wits and tried to deactivate it.It: Dopo momenti di tensione e nervosismo, con un click finale, la trappola si disinnescò.En: After moments of tension and nervousness, with a final click, the trap disarmed.It: Un sorriso di trionfo comparve sui volti di entrambi.En: A triumphant smile appeared on both their faces.It: Senza perdere altro tempo, afferrarono il libro e si avviarono verso l'uscita.En: Without wasting any more time, they grabbed the book and headed for the exit.It: Al varcare la soglia, un suono straziante li fece voltare.En: As they crossed the threshold, a wrenching sound made them turn.It: La biblioteca, ormai sfiancata, cominciava a crollare.En: The library, now exhausted, was beginning to collapse.It: Corsero, il cuore che batteva all'impazzata, appena in tempo per vedere la

The current state and future trajectory of the aerospace industry, highlighting a transition toward commercial spaceflight and advanced aviation technology. The FAA forecasts steady growth in passenger travel and unmanned aircraft systems, while noting that economic shifts and geopolitical tensions continue to influence market stability. NASA is currently modernizing the Kennedy Space Center via a 20-year master plan to evolve into a multi-user spaceport capable of supporting private partners. However, reports from the Office of Inspector General and media outlets warn that aging infrastructure may struggle to meet the intense launch cadences required for the Artemis moon missions. To address these bottlenecks, SpaceX is developing innovative orbital refueling techniques and dedicated propellant infrastructure to enable deep-space exploration. Ultimately, the documents illustrate a complex landscape where technological ambition must be balanced against regulatory hurdles and logistical constraints.

“In silent screams and wildest dreams, I never dreamed of this. This love is good. This love is bad. This love is alive back from the dead.” This week we're setting sail on one of history's greatest epics, Homer's The Odyssey, and asking a very important question... did Taylor Swift write it? (We're mostly joking. Mostly.) In this Show & Tell episode, we each make the case for a Taylor Swift song that illuminates a different facet of the Odyssey, from Penelope's 20-year vigil to Odysseus weeping on a gorgeous island, to the sirens, the wine-dark sea, and a very significant scar. Along the way, the hosts dig into questions of translation and interpretation — particularly the significance of Emily Wilson's landmark female translation of the text — discuss the role of Athena in the story of the epic, and geek out about the archery contest that shows up in both the Odyssey and two Indian epics. Plus: the upcoming Christopher Nolan adaptation, the musical Epic by Jorge Rivera, Madeline Miller's Circe, and why All Too Well (10 Minute Version) might just be Taylor's own Odyssey.   Subscribe for free to get episode updates or upgrade to paid to get our After School premium content: aptaylorswift.substack.com/subscribe.

Breaking down the last couple possessions of Game 4.

Title: Boos, Ballots, Bailouts, and Buffoonery: The Desperate Gasp of a Crumbling Ego Hosts: Doug Pagitt and Robb Ryerse Listen Time: 42 minutes of pure, unvarnished reality Summary: The wheels aren't just coming off the MAGA wagon—they've bounced down the highway and caused a ten-car pileup. This week, Doug and Robb take a front-row seat to the latest, loudest public meltdown of Donald Trump, and honestly? It's a trainwreck you can't look away from. First up, the guys dissect the absolute embarrassment of his recent press interview. Watching Trump completely lose his mind under standard, baseline journalistic scrutiny wasn't just bad politics; it was a masterclass in fragile panic. It turns out that when you can't hand-pick the reporters or script the questions, actual accountability is a totally undefeated opponent. Then, we're heading to Madison Square Garden—because nothing says "man of the people" quite like getting thoroughly booed out of a Knicks game. What happens when a man who survives entirely on heavily curated, ego-stroking rallies steps into a real-world sports arena? A thunderous, highly localized reality check. We unpack that beautiful, unfiltered chorus of boos and why everyday Americans are completely done buying the snake oil. Finally, Doug and Robb tackle the exhausting, broken-record delusion of "stolen elections." We contrast his desperate, fictional grievances with the very real, unbelievably wasteful legacy of his time in office. Is the movement facing an irreversible decline, or are we just watching a cornered political grift double down on pure chaos? Join us for a candid, faith-rooted, and delightfully savage conversation about truth, accountability, and actual common sense. What We're Dragging This Week:  * The Interview Meltdown: Why a simple Q&A sent the fragile former guy into an absolute tailspin.  * The Garden Variety Rejection: Breaking down the Knicks game chorus of boos. Spoiler alert: regular people don't do fake.  * The "Stolen" Delusion: Deconstructing the pathetic rerun of false election claims that absolutely everyone outside of his echo chamber is tired of hearing.  * The Receipts on Waste: A look at the staggering, self-serving wastefulness of a leader who treated the public trust like a personal piggy bank. Love the show? Don't keep us a secret. Leave us a scathing review on Apple Podcasts, hit subscribe on Spotify, and talk some actual sense into your timeline using the hashtag #ComingGood. Let's clean up the public square together.

Brandie Posey is a comedian, podcaster, and record label owner. Her new special, Milk Job, is out now and her label is Burn This Records. She brings a punk rock DIY ethos to putting out comedy albums, which is beyond a breath of fresh air amidst a crumbling, fascist friendly industry. We break it down the only way two lefty millennials know how.

David Rothkopf and Joanna Coles dive into a week of chaos surrounding Donald Trump, from a weekend barrage of Truth Social posts and increasingly bizarre self-mythologizing to mounting questions about his health, judgment, and grip on reality. Rothkopf argues that Trump's latest behavior reveals a president trapped by crises of his own making—from Iran and a crumbling political coalition to what he describes as a dangerous fantasy world where everyone else plays the victim. The pair also unpack the growing signs of Republican unease, the political fallout heading into the midterms, and why a larger generational reckoning may be reshaping global leadership. As the conversation builds toward a chilling conclusion about power, aging, and the risks of desperation, Rothkopf delivers one of his starkest assessments yet of the man occupying the Oval Office.

In this hard-hitting episode of The Right Side, Doug Billings breaks down the explosive new development that could mark the beginning of the end for the radical left's lawfare machine.In her 2022 deposition, E.

Now federal prosecutors are investigating whether that statement was false after it was revealed that billionaire Reid Hoffman secretly funneled money through a nonprofit to cover her substantial legal expenses.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: First up—new signs Iran's economy is entering what some analysts are calling a “death spiral,” as soaring inflation, mass unemployment, and a collapsing currency pile pressure on the regime amid war and blockade. Later in the show—Trump and Putin float a temporary cease-fire in Ukraine, even as Kyiv launches a long-range strike deep inside Russian territory, raising fresh doubts about whether any pause in fighting can hold. Plus—as war intensifies in Mali, analysts are warning jihadist groups could be on the verge of carving out an African caliphate, as militants push closer to the capital and security forces struggle to hold the line. And in today's Back of the Brief—the Pentagon reveals the cost of U.S. military operations in Iran has already reached 25 billion dollars, with that number expected to climb as the conflict continues.
