This week, the party dusts off ancient tombs and unearths long-forgotten scrolls hidden deep within Stonehall. What begins as simple research soon stirs echoes of the past—because when has digging into ancient secrets ever gone smoothly? Surely nothing dangerous has ever come from a little light reading… right?

In this Hot Topic episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Simon Scott is joined by Ashley Dupuy to explore why the news feels so overwhelming — especially for neurodivergent brains.With relentless headlines, graphic footage, political division, and algorithm-driven doom-scrolling, they unpack how constant exposure to crisis can heighten anxiety, disrupt sleep, and intensify black-and-white thinking.Ashley explains the role of the brain's reticular activating system (RAS) — the internal filtering system that shows us more of what we focus on. When we consume dark, catastrophic stories repeatedly, our brains begin scanning the world for more threats, reinforcing anxiety and hypervigilance.They discuss:Doom-scrolling and negativity biasHeightened empathy and justice sensitivityPTSD and re-traumatisation through graphic mediaADHD, stimulation-seeking, and news addictionBlack-and-white thinking in polarised timesThe pressure to “have an opinion” on everythingFeeling powerless outside your circle of controlSocial conversations built around “ain't it awful”News detoxes and intentional media boundariesUsing gratitude and inspiration to rebalance the brainA thoughtful, honest discussion about emotional intensity, media overwhelm, and how to stay informed without sacrificing your nervous system.Our Sponsors:

Ray Dalio's Davos comments aren't a “next-week collapse” call—they're a long-cycle warning: rising debt supply can eventually force higher yields and tough policy trade-offs. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 looks calm on the surface, but sector/factor dispersion and low correlations show a fierce rotation under the hood. Lance Roberts & Michael Lebowitz examine the calm index ≠ calm market—watch dispersion and correlations for the next regime shift.

A new report reveals Portland's economy is in crisis, marked by a sharp decline in exports, job losses, and stalled population growth. The Portland Metro Chamber points to structural policy decisions as the root cause, with President Andrew Hoan urging a competitive mindset and learning from past mistakes. The report highlights a significant drop in exports to $6.4 billion and job losses ranking among the worst in the nation. Voters express deep uncertainty about the economic outlook, reflecting the challenges facing the city. The time for decisive action is now to reverse these troubling trends and restore Portland's economic vitality. Will Portland's leaders heed the warning signs and implement the necessary changes to revitalize the city's economy and restore confidence among its residents?

Seattle faces a stark warning from history: avoid the fate of Cleveland. Once a thriving industrial hub, Cleveland experienced a dramatic decline, losing 60% of its population and economic prominence. The article, penned by Charles Fitzgerald, highlights parallels between Seattle's current tech-driven economy and Cleveland's past dominance. Concerns are rising as entrepreneurs and technologists leave Seattle, fearing a deteriorating business environment and a lack of competitiveness in the AI era. Even tech giants like Amazon and Microsoft may be past peak employment. Can Seattle learn from Cleveland's mistakes and avoid a similar downfall, or is it already too late? Is a population decline imminent?

Tonight, we're confronting a White House that looks like it's in a full doom spiral. The signs are everywhere, unchecked abuses of power, escalating attacks on the free press, and rhetoric that chips away at confidence in free and fair elections. Are we watching a slide toward authoritarianism in real time? What happens when guardrails are ignored and institutions are tested over and over again? And most importantly, what comes next?

Previously on LMG Presents: Marvel Multiverse RPG… The Riftguards survive the Brood hive and claim the Ultimate Nullifier, then launch their final mission to stop Kang the Devourer. Boarding Kang's ship, they confront the Crimson Surfer and eliminate him without mercy. With no time left, the team fires the Ultimate Nullifier, destroying Kang… and Stormshade with him. Time resets. This time, Will disappears, Stormshade searches for Doom, and instead finds his body. As reality begins to fracture, one final transmission crackles over the radio  Will's voice, ordering Token to fire… and reset the timeline.   Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1628612284256101/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lmgpodnetwork?igsh=YTBtMm1kd3k3a3N3   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheLMGPodcast   Hosts: Jordan Mitchell  

Is the spark going out in the galaxy? On this episode of the Smugglers Galaxy Podcast, we dive deep into the massive reveals from Toy Fair 2026 and tackle the tough questions currently facing the Star Wars collecting community.Also, Hasbro has officially pulled back the curtain on their latest lineup. We break down the new figures and roleplay gear inspired by The Mandalorian and Grogu. From The Black Series to The Vintage Collection, we discuss:Despite the new reveals, the Star Wars collecting hobby feels... quiet. We have a candid discussion on why collector excitement seems to be hitting a new low and the impact of pricing fatigue.In the rumor mill, we explore the tantalizing possibility of a Star Wars and Marvel comic book crossover. Could Vader go toe-to-toe with Doom?

Send Cathy a text:)We're about two-thirds of the way through Season 2, and before we move forward, I felt a pull to slow down.No new framework. No new acronym. No fresh hack to master.Just you and me.Because underneath rhythm, boundaries, resets, time management, and emotional protection… there's one core truth:You can't pour from a cup that's quietly leaking.In this bonus episode, we gently explore what an “energy leak” really is — and why so many caregivers feel exhausted even when they haven't “done that much.”Energy leaks aren't always dramatic. They often look like:The conversation you replay in your head The guilt you carry for resting The constant explaining and justifying Doom scrolling that leaves you heavier The tension in your shoulders The “what if” thoughts at 2amNot all exhaustion is physical. Some of it is emotional leakage.In this episode, I guide you through reflective journaling prompts (that you can write, walk with, or simply sit with) to help you notice where your energy may be quietly draining.✍️ The 4 Journaling Prompts:Where do I feel most drained right now? Is it a person, a responsibility, a pattern, or my own thoughts?What do I keep saying yes to that leaves me resentful? (Resentment is often a boundary leak.)What input could I reduce? News, social media, constant researching, self-criticism?When do I feel most steady or peaceful? The opposite of the leak often shows us the solution.I also share powerful messages from caregivers in this community — because when one caregiver speaks up, it helps another feel less alone.We talk about: Why awareness is the first step How small adjustments can close big leaks Why you don't need to “fix the whole pipe” — just tighten one place And how protecting your energy is sacred workIf you've been wondering why you feel so tired… This episode is your gentle reset.Because awareness is not weakness. It's wisdom. And you are wiser than you think.

Fra Diavlo's Recipes for the Damned started as a joke — what if we made a death metal record where the lyrics were just someone reading a recipe? We couldn't lift actual recipes for copyright reasons, so instead we wrote original lyrics structured like instructions and twisted them into brutality. That's how you get titles like “Gnocchi Guillotine,” “Boil the Priest,” “Mince the Heretic,” and “Sous-Vide Sacrifice.” Because the AI took “death metal” literally, it leaned into classic genre tropes — anti-religion imagery, ritual sacrifice, damnation — so the kitchen becomes a cathedral of fire. “Béarnaise Bloodletting,” “Pan-Sear Damnation,” “Al Dente Execution,” even “Last Course: Cannibal Crème Brûlée” — it's culinary language weaponized. It's absurd, theatrical, and self-aware. That first record is where Fra Diavlo stopped being a bit and became a fully formed concept: cooking as ritual, metal as satire, dinner as damnation.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

Portland's economic woes continue as the city's 20 largest office buildings have collectively lost a staggering $2 billion in market value since 2019. This significant decline raises serious concerns about the city's financial stability and the future of its downtown core. The exodus of businesses, coupled with rising crime rates and persistent social unrest, has created a perfect storm, driving down property values and jeopardizing the city's tax base. The consequences of this economic downturn could be far-reaching, impacting essential city services and further eroding the quality of life for Portland residents. Is this a sign of a larger economic crisis, or can Portland turn things around?

MARVEL'S UPRISING! We still don't have the Spider-Man Brand New Day Trailer but we do have the Spider-Man Noir — the upcoming Prime Video series starring Nicolas Cage as a hardened, aging private investigator in 1930s New York. This isn't your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man… this is trench coats, mob bosses, femme fatales, and full black-and-white noir energy. And yes — you can actually watch the show in both monochrome AND color. But that's not all. We're also breaking down major reveals from the Russo Brothers in their latest Empire Magazine interview about Avengers: Doomsday. They're teasing a darker tone, deeper narrative complexity, and major implications surrounding Doctor Doom and the future of the MCU. If they're bringing the kind of layered storytelling they did with Infinity War and Endgame, things are about to get wild. Follow Coy Jandreau:  Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@coyjandreau?l...

After years of ignoring and maligning Windows, Microsoft has finally woken up and is making some happy noises. Last week, we discussed how Microsoft plans to improve the quality of Windows and that there are already many signs of that work in various security features and new OneDrive Folder Backup changes - plus those two new direct reports to Nadella. Then, Microsoft announced its Windows Baseline Security Mode and User Transparency and Consent initiatives with questions about the timing. And now, Microsoft just explained Windows 11 version 26H1, and it's not like 24H2 at all despite being tied to Snapdragon X2 silicon.Something happened ... and that something is tied to 26H1 26H1: Only for Snapdragon X2, a "scoped release," based on a "different core" from 24H2 and 25H2 You cannot upgrade 24H2 or 25H2 to 26H1 You cannot upgrade 26H1 to 26H2 (!) - instead, those on 26H1 "will have a path to update in a future Windows release." - Is that future Windows release Windows 12? Probably 24H2, 25H2, and 26H1 will all have the same user-facing features, this has been the case with all support Windows (11) versions for 2+ years (Remember, this is not what happened with 24H2. Shipped early on Snapdragon X1, but was made available to all Windows 11 PCs later that year) So why is this happening now?

Gerald Celente warns that a $660 billion AI spending spree by tech giants is accelerating a dot-com bust 2.0—wiping out software jobs, hollowing out cities, and concentrating power in a handful of corporate-state giants. He connects AI consolidation, collapsing retail and office markets, record credit card debt, and manipulated economic data to a deeper crisis: the death of the dollar and a world abandoning U.S. hegemony.

In Part 2 of this in-depth conversation, Sarah Jeanneault and Dwayne Kerrigan tackle one of the most misunderstood topics in modern business: AI implementation without foundational process.Drawing from Sarah's background in education, finance, trading psychology, and her current role at ProcedureFlow, the discussion reframes AI not as a silver bullet—but as an amplifier of whatever already exists inside an organization. Together, they explore why many companies are failing to see ROI from AI investments, how skipping SOPs and governance creates chaos, and why leaders must slow down before they scale up.Using powerful metaphors—from sourdough baking to mountain biking—Sarah explains why meaningful AI adoption requires patience, critical thinking, and uncomfortable conversations. The episode also expands into leadership, parenting, culture-building, and the human elements AI will never replace: empathy, judgment, and connection. This is a grounded, honest conversation for leaders who want to use AI responsibly—without gambling their business on hype.Episode Highlights:00:00 – Sarah introduces AI implementation using a sourdough recipe analogy01:00 – Dwayne welcomes listeners and frames Part 202:00 – Imposter syndrome, fear, and language we use to protect ourselves05:00 – Growth mindset and the “10 more steps” principle08:00 – Parenting, resilience, and building long-term capability12:00 – Leadership, culture, and why hard conversations matter16:00 – Why AI investments often fail to produce ROI20:00 – SOPs, governance, and backing the bus up 25:00 – Customer experience, AI chatbots, and human frustration 30:00 – Agentic AI, avatars, and future customer service models 35:00 – Why AI is already here and cannot be undone 40:00 – Doom scrolling, humanity, and preserving curiosity46:00 – Data collection as preparation—not prediction53:00 – Visual flows and simplifying complex knowledge59:00 – AI timelines, human choice, and optionality 01:05:00 – Where AI helps—and where it shouldn't replace humans 01:10:00 – Final reflections and resourcesKey Takeaways:AI amplifies broken systems, it doesn't fix themSOPs, processes, and governance must come before automationROI fails when AI is implemented for optics instead of outcomesProcess clarity enables both humans and AI to perform betterNot every industry, or company, is ready for AI at the same paceData collection today enables smarter AI decisions tomorrowAI should augment human judgment, not replace itThe future still belongs to human connection, empathy, and choiceResources Mentioned:ProcedureFlow – Enterprise knowledge management platform - https://procedureflow.com/ Notable Quotes:

If you've been telling yourself you're unmotivated or burnt out or lazy or somehow broken, I want you to pause for a second. Because there's a good chance that none of that is true. There's a good chance you're not lacking drive. You're avoiding grief. The Grief Creative Entrepreneurs Don't Name Before you check out, this isn't about tragedy or loss in the obvious sense. This is about the kind of grief that creative entrepreneurs rarely name. It's grief for expectations that didn't pan out. The grief of versions of yourself you thought you'd be by now. The grief of timelines that expired. Most people don't talk about this because it feels dramatic. But it's not dramatic. It's subtle and it's quiet, and it shows up as I just can't get myself to do the thing. What Grief Actually Looks Like Creative entrepreneurs are really good at mislabeling this. We call it burnout or lack of motivation or discipline. But what's actually happening is something inside of you is unfinished. And for people like us, that's hard to deal with. It's not a task. It's a feeling. Grief doesn't always look like crying. Sometimes it looks like: Doom scrolling Procrastinating Getting yourself ready to do the thing, and then just sitting there Rearranging your workspace for the fifth time instead of starting Productivity with no direction You're doing things. You're just not doing that thing. The one that matters. The one that could move you forward. Because moving forward would mean acknowledging what didn't happen, and that's the part we avoid. Why We Skip Grief (And What Happens When We Do) We're taught to stay positive, right? How many times have you been told that? Just stay positive. Reframe. Pivot. Look for the lesson. And yes, okay, that's useful eventually. But grief doesn't like being bypassed. If you skip it, it doesn't just disappear. It shows up as fatigue or lack of desire that you can't really explain. And you might tell yourself, I should be more grateful. Other people have it worse. And that could be true. But gratitude doesn't cancel grief. They can coexist. You can be grateful for what you have and still mourn what you lost or what you never got. A lot of creative entrepreneurs are carrying grief for things that never had a funeral. What You Might Be Grieving The career that didn't take off the way you imagined. When I was a child, I knew with my whole heart I was going to be doing Shakespeare in the park. That didn't turn out for me. Maybe it will someday, but that's something I've had to grieve. A version of yourself that you believed would be easier to have by now. No one really tells you how to grieve those things, so you don't. You just kind of push harder, or you stop pushing altogether, and then you judge yourself for it. Here's something important: Motivation is an output. It is not a moral quality. It tends to disappear when you're carrying unresolved emotional weight. Grief is heavy. And when you start to notice it, you realize your body isn't resisting the work. It's protecting you from feeling something that you haven't given yourself permission to feel. Grief Doesn't Resolve with Time, It Resolves with Attention Avoiding grief looks like waiting for clarity or inspiration or to feel like yourself. But grief doesn't resolve on its own with time. It resolves with attention. I'm not saying you need to fall apart or wallow or stop working and take a break. I'm just saying you might need to acknowledge what you've been pretending didn't matter. Because I say that to myself all the time when something doesn't pan out for me. I'm like, oh, well it didn't matter. It did matter. Ask yourself this, very gently: What version of my life am I quietly disappointed didn't happen? What did I believe would be true by now that isn't? What am I still trying to outrun by staying busy, or by doing nothing? These questions aren't meant to derail you. They're meant to unstick you. Because grief that goes unnamed will keep hijacking your energy. Grief Isn't the Opposite of Ambition This is the part most people miss. Grief isn't the opposite of ambition. It's often the doorway back to it. Because once you stop pretending you're fine with something you're not fine with, your energy starts to return. As this steady willingness to engage again. You don't have to fix the grief. You just have to stop avoiding it. Sometimes that looks like saying out loud: I thought I'd be further along by now. Sometimes it looks like letting yourself feel sad without immediately turning it into a lesson. Sometimes it looks like saying: This didn't go the way that I hoped. And that honesty doesn't weaken you. It frees up space. And from that space, guess what comes back? Motivation. Not forced or frantic, but grounded. What Happens After You Acknowledge Grief Things don't suddenly feel amazing. But they do feel clearer. And clarity can feel uncomfortable. Because grief, when you acknowledge it, has a way of reorganizing things. You might realize you don't want what you used to want anymore. You might notice certain goals feel hollow now. That chapter is really done. That can be destabilizing, especially for creative entrepreneurs, because so much of our identity is wrapped up in our projects. We're so used to asking, What's next? What's the plan? What am I building toward? And grief doesn't answer those questions. It asks a different one: What matters now? And sometimes that answer is smaller than you expected. Sometimes it's rest, or simplifying, or choosing depth over growth. The Fear of Slowing Down This is where people start to panic. An actor actually said this to me a couple days ago: If I slow down, I'll lose everything. If I stop pushing, I will fall behind. I can't let myself feel this because I won't come back from it. But avoiding grief doesn't keep you in motion. It keeps you stuck in cycles. Push, crash, recover, repeat. Push, crash, recover, repeat. Acknowledging grief is often what interrupts that loop. Grief Recalibrates Your Tolerance Grief inconveniently recalibrates your tolerance for bullshit. Things you used to tolerate now suddenly feel unbearable. Projects that once felt exciting now feel draining. Obligations you said yes to out of fear start to feel misaligned. This isn't you becoming difficult. It's you becoming honest with yourself. And honesty has consequences. You might disappoint people. You might change your mind. You might need to renegotiate your relationships. That's part of it. Grow up. Grief strips away the versions of ourselves that we've built to survive, not necessarily to thrive. And yeah, that can feel scary because survival strategies are familiar, even when they're exhausting. The Reframe That Matters You're shedding urgency that no longer makes sense. You're letting goals go that were fueled by pressure instead of your actual desire. That space is more sustainable for you because that's where you can really grow. Not in panic. Rooted in choice. Grief clears the noise so you can hear that steady place again. What to Do Next Don't ask what's wrong with you. Nothing's wrong with you. Ask yourself: What am I asking myself to ignore? What disappointments haven't I named? What ending haven't I acknowledged? What hope am I still holding onto that might need to be released? This isn't about giving up. It's about letting go of what's already gone so you can show up fully to what is here now. Sometimes you're going to feel fine. Sometimes it's going to hit you sideways in the middle of a workday. Sometimes it's just going to make you tired. All of that is normal. What matters is that you stop treating those moments like obstacles to productivity. They're information. Your system saying, Hey, pay attention to this. And if you let yourself listen, even just for a second, you might find that motivation starts to come back in small ways. This willingness to engage again. This okay, yeah, I can do the next thing. And the next thing.

Opie is getting up in his feels and has decided that Ron the Waiter has gone too far talking about Anthony Cumia. It's a shame because Opie and Ron were actually making a go at it and Opie hasn't tried that since Carl Ruiz passed. Adam Busch and I checked out a Doom clip of Opie's Monday morning stream saying that he and Ron Berman were "taking a break." I hate to see couples fight like this.
