Media maven Darvio Morrow shares his story—from launching a record label at 16 and sleeping on studio floors to keep his dream alive, to growing up amid Cleveland's economic decline, gunshots next door, and a family legacy tied to a great-grandfather raised by a former slave. He and Bridget discuss his nuanced take on reparations, why today's media ecosystem is trash, white paternalism as a cousin to white supremacy, and our desensitization to global atrocities like the ongoing crisis in Iran. They cover why it's difficult to find straight news that keeps you informed these days, how humans were not meant to take this much information in from all these different sources at all times, how we still haven't dealt with the after effects from COVID yet, why we need a functioning middle class, and the truth about starting from zero. Follow Darvio on X - @DTheKingpin---------------------------------------------------------------------Sponsor Links:- Quest offers 100+ lab tests to empower you to have more control over your health journey.

What if some of the foods you eat every day are quietly working against your health? Amy Hudson sits down with Gerianne Cygan to break down food supervillains that may be doing more harm than good when we ingest them. They unpack insights from the Exercise Coach Nutrition Playbook, a practical resource used with clients at Exercise Coach Studios to simplify nutrition and target three major health troublemakers: high blood sugar, systemic inflammation, and poor digestive health. Tune in to hear how identifying and removing these food supervillains can create meaningful changes in how your body functions, and why a simpler nutrition framework might be the reset your health needs. Gerianne starts by explaining what "food supervillains" are. These are foods that consistently drive three major health problems: inflammation, high blood sugar, and poor digestive health. Gerianne covers why sugar earns the #1 supervillain spot. Sugar drives blood sugar spikes, crashes, cravings, and long-term insulin resistance. Over time, this pattern contributes to diabetes, metabolic syndrome, inflammation, and digestive issues. Learn how sugar hides in plain sight. Sugar shows up under dozens of names, including cane sugar, honey, maple syrup, maltodextrin, coconut sugar, and more. Many people don't realize how much sugar they're eating because the labels look "natural." Gerianne explains why fruit is still sugar, but not all sugar is equal. Whole fruits provide fiber and nutrients that slow absorption when eaten in moderation. Portion size and food pairing matter far more than cutting fruit out entirely. Why sugar is so hard to quit. Research shows sugar can trigger addictive patterns similar to drugs like cocaine.  Gerianne explains why grains and starchy foods are supervillains for many people. Grains like wheat, rice, oats, and corn often irritate digestion and raise blood sugar. Components like gluten, lectins, and phytates can damage the gut lining and block mineral absorption. Amy explains why grains are problematic. Poor digestion can trigger immune responses and systemic inflammation throughout the body. Many modern grains are highly refined and offer little nutritional value in return. Gerianne shares a practical tip for sugars, grains, and starches. Pairing them with protein and healthy fats slows blood sugar absorption. While this helps blood sugar control, it doesn't fully fix digestive issues. Why dairy makes the supervillain list. Dairy can raise blood sugar, promote inflammation, and worsen gut permeability. Lactose intolerance and immune reactions are more common than most people realize. Amy and Gerianne cover how to choose better dairy if you tolerate it. Grass-fed, organic, and fermented options like natural yogurt, kefir, aged cheese, butter, or ghee are better choices. Avoid sweetened, processed dairy with additives and emulsifiers. Gerianne explains why legumes and soy can be problematic. Legumes contain anti-nutrients that affect digestion and mineral absorption. They're especially challenging for people with existing gut or inflammatory issues. The protein problem with legumes. Legumes are low in essential amino acids and are less digestible than animal proteins. While they provide fiber, they're not complete proteins. Gerianne explains how personal training supports metabolic health beyond workouts. An experienced exercise coach can help you understand how food affects your blood sugar, inflammation, and performance. Why soy deserves extra caution. According to Gerianne, soy is heavily genetically modified and often sprayed with glyphosate. If consumed, organic and fermented forms like tempeh, miso, or natto are better options. Gerianne explains why artificial sweeteners, additives, and seed oils are supervillains. These ingredients disrupt gut bacteria, worsen insulin response, and trigger inflammation. They're linked to hormonal, neurological, and immune issues. Gerianne explains why alcohol makes the supervillain list. Current research shows no amount of alcohol is beneficial. Even moderate drinking increases cancer risk and worsens existing health conditions. Understand how alcohol behaves like sugar in the body. It spikes blood sugar and insulin just like other supervillains. Over time, it contributes to inflammation, poor sleep, and cardiovascular risk. Amy shares her personal "aha" moment about food. Sugar, grains, and alcohol all process like sugar in the body. Understanding this changed how she viewed everyday food choices. Amy highlights how to take action with a 30-day metabolic reset. Eliminating food supervillains for a short period helps reveal how your body truly responds. This approach focuses on learning, not perfection. Amy shares why working with a personal trainer helps connect nutrition decisions to real-world energy, strength, and recovery. That context makes unhealthy food choices harder to ignore and better habits easier to keep.     Mentioned in This Episode: The Exercise Coach - Get 2 Free Sessions!

In surgical residency, cases are long, expectations are high, and patient care always comes first. But then you become a parent, and suddenly you're navigating pregnancy risk, parental leave, and lactation logistics in a system that wasn't built for it. We've made meaningful progress over the past decade, but too many trainees still face becoming parents in residency without clear, consistent support. In this episode, join Dr. Kara Button with Dr. Arielle Kanters and Dr. Sarah Shubeck as they ask: How do we build a surgical workforce that's skilled, resilient—and genuinely supported as surgeon-parents? They'll share practical, evidence-based steps programs can take to make parental support the norm—not the exception.Hosts:Kara Button, DO — General Surgery Resident, Maine Medical Center; Behind the Knife Surgical Education FellowArielle Kanters, MD — Colorectal Surgeon; Associate Program Director, Colorectal Surgery Fellowship, Cleveland ClinicDr. Sarah Shubeck, MD — Assistant Professor of Surgery; Breast Surgical Oncologist, University of ChicagoReferences:Bamdad MC, Hughes DT, Englesbe M.

Black Market: Past Seasonal items, Past limited-time items (don't know if letters of recommendation or gold revert will remain) Don't want to argue limited-time items for the umpteenth time. Seasonal items already come back for doubloons, now they will just be in the black market instead of their respective shops. Blackmarket used to sell new recolors for gold, and one day Rare threw them all into their respective shops instead; why are we going backwards here? Why convert the current past seasonal items to gold if you're still going to charge doubloons for new past seasonal items? What's changing? Past season in the black market instead of the respective shops Past limited-time items as well Doesn't solve the issue of long-time players having nothing to spend doubloons on. Dev Cycles 2018-2019: Big updates every couple of months with small updates in between Small updates called Bilge Rat Adventures From release to anniversary update Hungerdeep > skeleton thrones, gunpowder skeletons, mermaid statues > cursed sails 2019-2020: Small updates every month From a few months after the anniversary update to the festival of giving (2020 - 2nd one) Fort of the Damned > Seabound Soul > Festival of Giving > Legends of the Sea > Crews of Rage 2020-2023: Big updates every couple of months with small updates in between Small updates are called events. Bile Rat Adventures was now just an umbrella section for commendations tied to the new updates. Season 1 > festival of fishing, vault raiders > Season 2 2022: Events dropped for Adventures Season 5 - Season 8 The start of Season 9 had the last adventure Events were now sparsely used for some time-limited things or to track stuff like community day 2023: Small updates every month Season 9-10 Features released across the season 9: Monkey Island 10: guilds & safer seas 2023-2025: Big updates every couple of months. Season 11-14 Notice I didn't say small updates in between. There were, but they were mostly gameplay improvements and bug fixes. This was a period when we were really feeling that they were releasing things before they were fully ready. 2025-current (2026): Small updates every month Season 15-Current (18) These updates were all a part of one big theme. For example: Season 15 ancient megs, then hunting spears & ambient wildlife, wild boars & ambient wildlife. Season 17 was intentionally spread feature release across the season, now in the form of acts. Of course, there were always delays and stuff Recurring Events Seems like they're setting up for the future. Get a suite of recurring events.

Bruce Schneier and Dr. Nathan Sanders discuss Rewiring Democracy: How AI Will Transform Our Politics, Government, and Citizenship (MIT Press). Bruce and Nathan share how AI becomes viable for governments when the speed, scale, scope, and sophistication of computational systems surpasses human capacity. We also discuss the relationship between AI and the Internet of Things, how AI interacts with lobbying and legislation, and how values can be construed in an automated context. Current examples of AI implementation are shared from political campaigning, public administration, and civil society. 

Adam's intensive Kant course now enrolling: https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/2026-classesIn this episode, we revisit Jean Baudrillard's The Gulf War Did Not Take Place, a text that diagnosed the emergence of war as media event, non-event, and managed spectacle. Joining us is friend and returning guest Cameron Carsten, a graduate student in continental philosophy whose work explores the state, power, and the production of reality across Baudrillard and Deleuze. Rather than treating Baudrillard's claims as prophetic or obsolete, the conversation puts them to work against the present—testing the fate of hyperreality in the age of Trump, AI-mediated images, and escalating political violence. What emerges is a question that now presses harder than ever: has the simulacrum collapsed, or has the real returned with a vengeance?Cam's blog: https://camtology.substack.com/Support the showSupport the podcast:Current classes at Acid Horizon Research Commons (AHRC): https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/ahrc-mainWebsite: https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/Linktree: https://linktr.ee/acidhorizonAcid Horizon on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/acidhorizonpodcast Boycott Watkins Media: https://xenogothic.com/2025/03/17/boycott-watkins-statement/ Subscribe to us on your favorite podcast: https://pod.link/1512615438Merch: http://www.crit-drip.comSubscribe to us on your favorite podcast platform: https://pod.link/1512615438 LEPHT HAND: https://www.patreon.com/LEPHTHANDHappy Hour at Hippel's (Adam's blog): https://happyhourathippels.wordpress.com​Split Infinities (Craig's Substack): https://splitinfinities.substack.com/​Music: https://sereptie.bandcamp.com/ and https://thecominginsurrection.bandcamp.com/

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Later this year, the American people will hire, or re-hire, every member of the House of Representatives and one-third of the Senate, not to mention numerous state and local offices.

This episode of The Distribution features a live panel conversation moderated by Brandon Sedloff with Brian Cho, Mark Shoberg, and Mark Neely, recorded at iREOC. The discussion focuses on the growing importance of private wealth as a capital source for real estate operating companies and investment managers. Drawing from perspectives across family offices, OCIOs, and active operators, the panel unpacks how private wealth allocators think about portfolio construction, manager selection, and structure in today's market. The conversation offers a candid look at what actually drives decisions behind the scenes and how sponsors can more effectively engage this increasingly influential channel. They discuss:• How private wealth allocators approach portfolio construction across public markets, private equity, and real estate• The role of tax efficiency, liquidity preferences, and structure in private wealth investment decisions• What family offices and OCIOs look for beyond track record when evaluating real estate managers• How investor education differs across advisors, allocators, and end clients in the wealth channel• Where panelists see the most compelling opportunities in equity, debt, and special situations over the next 12 to 18 months Links: iREOC - https://irei.com/ireoc/ Brandon on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/bsedloff/ Juniper Square - https://www.junipersquare.com/ Mark Neely on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-neely-6568269/ Mark Shoberg on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-shoberg/ Brian Cho on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/brian-cho-66419222/ Topics: (00:00:00) - Intro(00:02:09) - Meet the panelists(00:03:58) - Understanding private wealth(00:07:17) - Portfolio construction insights(00:09:55) - Investment preferences and structures(00:13:07) - Navigating real estate investments(00:21:36) - The importance of track record(00:27:53) - Operational due diligence in wealth channel(00:29:22) - Educating financial advisors and clients(00:31:47) - Customizing asset allocation for clients(00:33:13) - Challenges and strategies in wealth management(00:37:31) - Operational challenges in wealth management(00:39:25) - Effective communication and networking(00:45:04) - Current market trends and opportunities(00:50:38) - Audience Q&A and final thoughts

How do we acquire, assimilate and verify knowledge?Exploring an inquiry as old as the human capacity to search for truth, which is re-enlivened in our times with the many challenges facing the human family globally, Aviv Shahar and David Price Francis invite us into a journey of discovery, tracing fascinating new pathways toward integrated understanding.They begin with the awareness that scientific inquiry has opened a world of astonishing can-do possibilities, while also training us to exteriorize knowledge, giving rise to a widening separation between the interior and exterior dimensions of life.In response, the conversation seeks to invite a new kind of integration. It opens with the idea of conscience, then moves from exoteric to mesoteric and esoteric perspectives, exploring questions such as: What is the purpose of human life? Could the universe be purposeful? And what would it mean to shift from the knowledge of things and concepts to the knowledge of processes and relationships?They ask: How can esoteric knowledge or Creational Logic be sourced? What can the natural world, from daffodils to bears, from orchids to our own digestive systems, teach us about the innate authentication and verification built into life itself?Proposing that the pursuit of truth and knowledge involves natural validation and verification inherent in the structure of life, the conversation weaves an exciting range of inquiries, offering a space where science, spirituality, and philosophy can come together to co-create a greater whole that liberates and nurtures the flourishing of life.Additional insights explored include:In the ancient world, science, spirituality, and philosophy formed an integrated whole in the search for truth and knowledge.While the scientific project enabled extraordinary achievements in the modern world, it also contributed to the fragmentation of these three streams and the widening divide between interior and exterior knowledge.The significance of this moment in human evolution, as we step into the unknown—and how to validate the cathedral of inquiry now opening before us.What does it mean to live a purposeful life inside a purposeful universe, and how does such a stance offer an esoteric invitation into a pathway of discovery?How close observation of the natural worlds and life – from the relationship of the mama bear to her cubs, to the intricate workings of our own digestive systems -- demonstrates that authentication is accomplished through integrated, multi-pathway validation.How the global challenges facing humanity demand a broader, more inclusive way of validating truth and knowledge.This conversation is part of the continuing Portals discovery into what is emerging on the frontiers of human experience in this time of profound change. Information about upcoming special events can be found on the Events page.

That's basically the surge here to reintegrate life, in its fuller sense, to the inquiry of knowledge and truth. And, in the bigger scheme of things, it recognizes that it is about bringing together science, spirituality and philosophy to sustain their distinctions while creating a greater whole that liberates and nurtures the flourishing of life.” (Aviv)“If it's a completely random universe, why does it need to do anything? Why doesn't it just stay in bed? Why does it need to develop life forms? What's the urge by which life wants to develop, and evolve, and move forward? Where does that urge come from? Because it clearly exists, because the evidence of it is right there. So there's an urge underlying all of organic life to, in some way, be functional and be moving forward and developing. So what is that urge? Where does it come from? And how come it's there?” (David) RESOURCES MENTIONED Portals of Perception WebsiteAviv's LinkedIn Aviv's TwitterAviv's WebsiteThe Revelation of Knowledge – Current Openings #22

With the advent of the digital age, individuals rely on countless personal devices, each one expanding their exposure to cybercrime. Missing one or two software updates may seem harmless, but this common negligence leaves us vulnerable to cyberattacks. With the number of individuals falling prey to cybercrime increasing on a yearly basis, we must ask: Why have established cybersecurity measures failed to halt or slow down the activity of cybercriminals? And what can we do to better protect ourselves and others?In this episode, Shane interviews Greg Oslan, chairman and CEO of the National Cybersecurity Center, on how we can do just that. Oslan has previously served as a managing partner at One Strategy Group consulting, CEO of Arturo, and a strategic adviser for the US Department of Homeland Security. His wide-ranging experience with this matter helps us make sense of how we can become safer online.

But prior to that, the guy has done a lot of things and been a lot of places, all in the name of service of others over self.I'm excited for you all to hear about him growing up in Tucson and deciding the military life was how he planned to get some life experience under his belt before settling in to local law enforcement. The twists and turns along the way, but serving in pretty significant ways at each stage in his life. The trials he faced as an older man entering the Army was very interesting to me. Show him some love, he'll be back soon because we never even made it to the point where he joined the Pima County Sheriff's Department!!!

Using AI to Go From User Insight to Better Backlogs - Mike CohnAI is rapidly changing how product teams work—but the biggest opportunity isn't replacing product thinking. It's reducing the friction between understanding users and turning those insights into high-quality backlog items.To make the ideas concrete, I use a consistent example throughout: a team building software for valet-attended parking garages, initially selling to independent operations like boutique hotels. Each step builds on the previous one, showing how AI outputs can feed naturally into your existing agile practices.With a straightforward prompt, AI can help you build a detailed persona—including hopes, concerns, emotional triggers, and decision criteria. In my example, the persona that emerged was a garage owner/operator with high staff turnover, contract-renewal anxiety, and a strong desire for predictable labor costs. Several of these insights are things I might have missed or deprioritized on my own.Understanding a persona's aspirations—not just their functional needs—turns out to be especially valuable. Once a persona exists, you can ask AI to role-play that person and let you interview them. This is not a replacement for real user interviews, but it's a great way to explore assumptions, test questions, and uncover gaps in your thinking.AI is also excellent at preparing interview guides for real users who match a persona. With the right prompt, it can generate a structured guide that covers: Opening context (confidentiality, purpose, time commitment)Current workflows and pain pointsDesired future state and success criteriaConstraints (including regulatory or operational)Thoughtful wrap-up questionsLooking at the results, I was struck by how much better prepared I could have been for many interviews over the years if I'd had this kind of support. Once you're ready to move into backlog work, AI can help generate user stories and job stories that follow well-established agile guidance.By being explicit in the prompt—format, INVEST criteria, and output rules—you can get clean, ready-to-use stories that are easy to import into a backlog tool. AI can also correctly choose between user stories and job stories depending on whether the situation or the role is more important.In the valet parking example, this resulted in stories about vehicle handoff tracking, damage-claim protection, wait-time monitoring, staff accountability, and remote visibility into operations. I prefer to add acceptance criteria as a separate step, and AI handles this easily. You can ask for: A simple bullet list (great for user reviews), orGherkin (given-when-then) format for more formal specificationYou can even convert between formats later. Either way, this step quickly raises clarity and testability. AI isn't just for generating content—it's also useful for critique.With a structured prompt, AI can evaluate user and job stories against the INVEST criteria, identify only what's missing, explain why, and suggest a focused improvement. This works whether the stories were written by AI or by you.Over time, you can even build a library of good and bad examples to further improve the quality of feedback you get. AI won't replace talking to users, making judgment calls, or exercising product sense. What it can do is help teams move faster from vague ideas to concrete artifacts, surface blind spots, and raise the baseline quality of their work—especially when time or experience is limited.Used well, AI becomes a tireless collaborator: one that remembers persona details, never gets impatient with rewrites, and can move effortlessly from big-picture thinking to precise backlog items.The key mindset shift is this: don't ask whether AI can replace parts of product discovery or backlog refinement. Ask how it can help you arrive better prepared for the conversations that still matter most.

One year into a new federal administration, the January 2026 installment of Current Campus Context examines what has actually changed for colleges and universities—and what has quietly reshaped campus life beneath the headlines. Heather Shea is joined by Dr. Brendan Cantwell and Dr. Crystal Garcia to explore federal power and institutional response, heightened ICE presence and campus climate, and how bluster, austerity, and silence are redefining institutional priorities. Together, they reflect on what these shifts mean for student affairs professionals navigating uncertainty, care, and purpose in 2026. The post Current Campus Context: One Year In—What Changed, What Didn't appeared first on Student Affairs NOW.
