   Josh Hawley just will not stop misleading voters about this SF Giants Pride Night story.  Hawley got a letter back from MLB commish Rob Manfred and immediately fibbed with a post about what the letter says.  It's unreal he's doing this.  Hawley was wrong, this was not an MLB issue.  It was a Giants issue and I'd be thrilled if he went on the attack and found out what the Giants did.  But baseball has done nothing wrong and actually has a fine policy in place.     A far left judge born in Trinidad and worked for Sonia Sotomayor is the latest to stop President Trump with a ruling.  This tiime, the court rules the government cannot use it's own data bases to verify is a person is a citizen or not and eligible to vote.  This is nuts.    A new AI generated song and video called "Keir Starmer is a wanker" has gone viral, we'll play it for you.  Vandals at the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool are being detained.   In sports, Lionel Messi does it again for Argentina, this player is the best of all time.   OU was picked 14th in the SEC pre season baseball poll and wins the national title.  The SEC is officially now a baseball conference, not football.  A Golf Channel analyst calls Long Island golf fans a "stain on the game," and he's right.  The Royals get a great outing from Michael Wacha in a win over the Rays, a Sportscenter legend is retiring and an up and coming music star has been charged with a felony after destroying his hotel room.

A visit to Well-Sweep Herb Farm in Warren County, New Jersey, leads to unexpected discoveries both in the garden and in life. Mary Stone shares highlights from a tour with third-generation grower Patrick McDuffee, explores the beauty and lore of herbs such as Plantain, Scented Geraniums, Jewelweed, and Lovage, and reflects on the treasures often hidden in plain sight.Back home, a thriving 'Jethro Tull' Coreopsis, gifted to her years ago by her dear friend Marty Carson, becomes a poignant reminder that love, friendship, and the lessons gathered along the way continue to bloom long after people leave our lives.In This Episode

If your mind won't stop running tonight, we've got just the thing. In this episode of The Insomnia Project, Marco is joined by returning guest Nidhi Kanna for the kind of warm, wandering conversation that's perfect for insomnia, racing thoughts, or anyone who just needs something gentle to drift off to. No stress, no stakes — just the good stuff.They start where all great conversations start: staring at a wall. Specifically, painting one. Nidhi and Marco get wonderfully sidetracked on the surprisingly fraught world of colours that are easy to commit to and hard to undo — the kind of paint decisions that haunt you in the best possible way.From there, the conversation meanders the way only a sleepcast can — from wall colours to Nidhi's recent trip to Mexico City, taking in the food, the texture of the place, and the very particular pleasure of being somewhere new. And then, naturally, they find their way to the finer things: Nidhi's bougie delights, Marco's bougie delights, and what it really means to treat yourself well.It's the perfect listen for a slow Sunday morning, a Monday morning at work when you want to focus but need a friend nearby, or a Tuesday night that won't wind down, or anyone who loves a good chat about nothing and everything all at once.

The sermon centers on the profound truth that God's delight in His people is not contingent on immediate deliverance from suffering, as exemplified by Christ's crucifixion, where divine love and suffering coexisted without contradiction. Drawing from Matthew 27:43 and Psalm 22, it confronts the lie that delay or lack of rescue implies divine rejection, affirming instead that God's love is unconditional and sovereign, even in the midst of trial. The preacher emphasizes that true love permits suffering for greater spiritual fruit, that trials often fulfill divine purposes unseen at the time, and that a distorted view of God's affection can chill the heart and hinder intimacy with Him. Ultimately, the resurrection vindicates God's love, revealing that suffering does not negate divine favor, and calls believers to trust God's character over their circumstances, imitating Christ's self-giving love in their own lives.

The hosts revisit early Apple and Mac experiences and discuss first keyboard shortcuts, focusing on "Command Control Power" after a photographer client referenced it while troubleshooting a MacBook Pro that died on location from a drained battery. They debate the proper shortcut key order versus Apple's conventions, recall Apple II shortcuts like Control–Open Apple–Reset, and reflect on floppy-drive workflows and multi-disk backups. The conversation shifts to Apple's attempts to break into business hardware, Steve Jobs' impact and management style, and a perceived reversal where hardware fit-and-finish improved while macOS feels buggier, with annual OS releases and settings moving cited as problems. They note Rapid Security Response/Background Security Improvements placement changes, praise Apple Watch and AirPods, share audience photos and Apple memorabilia, and close with gratitude to Apple, colleagues, and listeners.   00:00 Apple 50th Kickoff 00:27 Shortcut Origin Story 01:08 Photo Shoot Panic 02:17 Shortcut Order Debate 03:27 Open Apple Keys 05:16 Save Changes Shutdown 07:33 Floppy Boot Days 09:02 Apple In Business 12:22 Jobs Magic And Myth 14:03 Modern OS Buggy Era 19:27 Settings Search Problem 23:17 Yearly OS Cadence 26:04 Planned Obsolescence Talk 27:46 Software Sells Hardware 28:07 Mac CPU Transitions 29:12 Snow Leopard Lessons 31:37 Intel Era Reality Check 33:11 Security Updates Moved 34:22 Throwback Mac Photos 35:52 Daily Delight Devices 40:12 Old iPhones and iPods 42:29 Apple Employee Card 44:37 Startup Office Memories 46:13 50 Years of Apple
