Some strains disappear before you're supposed to record the episode.Root Beer GMO was one of those strains.

Listen Now to 013 WTFuture Watch 013 WTFuture Howdy all! We kick things off by diving into WWDC 2026, where Apple announced a revamped, locally processed “Siri AI” that promises to understand human tone, pauses, and emotion, paving the way for truly natural conversations with robots. This inspires us to imagine using AI agents to revive and automate our vintage “Party Projector” app in hopes of striking it rich as the sole product of our new AI-powered two-person company. Hey, one can dream! :-)We then take a look at controversial claims of a new, propellantless electrostatic force that could overcome gravity without expelling mass. Naturally, this gravity-defying topic leads to a fun detour into how UFOs might use gravitational wave guides to pull space toward them, complete with a shoutout to a highly realistic Lazarian 5-D simulation designed to ‘take you there.” Happy Disclosure Time! (esp if you are NDA free” :-) Next we explore NASA’s upcoming 2028 “Dragonfly” mission, which will send a nuclear-powered, car-sized rotocraft to fly through the thick atmosphere and liquid methane lakes of Saturn’s freezing moon, Titan. Why, you might ask? It’s a moon rich in petro chemicals, think of the ‘pipeline’ we’ll build, the gas beings we’ll have to deal with!We also unravel some explosive Earth history, discussing the mysterious 1908 Tunguska airburst over Siberia, considering the latest conjecture that it may have been caused by a massive rocketing ice cube, vaporizing on impact, flattening trees for hundreds of miles, creating a warm little pond in the center.And then a nearby area’s massive stash of hidden, meteor made impact diamonds! Who says meteors have to be bad?And least we forget, there is some good news about climate repair, on how the massive 2022 Hunga Tonga underwater volcanic eruption unexpectedly created a formaldehyde cloud that helped to break down the massive amounts of planet-heating methane the volcano just ‘farted.’ It appears the volcano was cleaning up after itself! “It’s not just a bathroom deodorant, it kills ‘germs’ too!” We wrap up our eco-talk with the promising discovery of naturally occurring “white hydrogen” seeping from the ancient rocks of the Canadian Shield, which could serve as a massive new clean, cheap energy source for the planet. Think of it, if Canada goes to hydrogen and all of our petro using machines can be converted to it..we can stop thinking about the Strait of Hormuz! :-) Enjoy..

Microsoft Build 2026 announced an end-to-end agentic AI stack. COMPUTEX Taipei confirmed heterogeneous AI infrastructure across ARM, Marvell, Intel, Qualcomm, and NVIDIA. Alphabet raised $80 billion. Cisco Live repositioned the network as the AI platform. Patrick Moorhead and Daniel Newman break it all down alongside earnings from Broadcom, HPE, Palo Alto Networks, and CrowdStrike, plus the token cost conversation, the edge AI push, and what Palantir and Oracle are saying about proprietary data as the real AI moat. The handpicked topics for this week are: Microsoft Build 2026 Announced an End-to-End Agentic AI Stack: Microsoft shipped MAI-Thinking-1, its first homegrown thinking model, alongside Scout, Microsoft IQ, Project Solara, and a Majorana 2 quantum update targeting a 2029 commercial timeline with claims of a 1,000x reliability gain. Pat describes MAI-Thinking-1 as likely better than Sonnet 4.6 in blind testing and delivering close to GPT 5.5 quality at a far lower cost. Scout is Microsoft's first autopilot agent, anchoring the M365 Agent Suite with Office Pilot Agent Mode and Agent 365. Microsoft IQ serves as the context layer, integrating M365, business data, boundary IQ, and web IQ with GitHub Copilot, Foundry, and Copilot Studio. Project Solara is a new Android-based platform built for agent-first devices across transportation, retail, and hospital settings. Microsoft also added 83 Unix commands to the Windows stack. Dan frames Microsoft's real play as distribution, not frontier model development, noting that the open model ecosystem being pulled into the platform will matter more to CFOs managing token costs at scale. (The Decode) The AI Stack Goes Multi-Silicon — COMPUTEX Taipei 2026 Confirms Heterogeneous AI Infrastructure: ARM's AGI CPU is in production with Google moving its TPU head node to ARM, and adding Oracle and ByteDance as new customers. ARM also introduced a new switch, the TT100, and put the 51T CPO switch on stage. Marvell received a trillion-dollar company endorsement from Jensen Huang, adding $90 billion in market cap on the comment alone. Intel announced disaggregated inference details and Xeon 6+ Clearwater Forest, its first 18A data center processor. Vista Equity and Cambium Capital announced a NeoCloud called Vector Core Compute, with Xeon 6 handling orchestration, Salmonova RUs handling decode, and Blackwell GPUs handling pre-fill. Qualcomm's Cristiano Amon announced the Dragonfly data center brand with Snapdragon C details coming at their June investor day. The WSTS raised the 2026 semiconductor TAM forecast by 90% to $1.51 trillion, with Pat noting the market could hit a trillion dollars if memory is excluded entirely. (The Decode) NVIDIA RTX Spark and the Edge AI Push: NVIDIA coordinated with ARM and Microsoft around the RTX Spark at COMPUTEX, with the shared message being that the future of Windows is here. Signal65's Ryan Shrout asked Jensen directly why NVIDIA wants to be in the PC business, given low margins and diminishing returns. Dan frames the answer in the context of devices increasingly becoming mobile data centers, capable of running models at much greater efficiency than cloud delivery. The edge AI conversation is also directly tied to token cost economics: as intelligence delivery moves closer to the device, the cost per token drops significantly. The jury is still out on whether NVIDIA will meaningfully disrupt the PC market, but its influence over OEMs like Lenovo and Dell that depend on it for data center gives it real leverage over SKUs. (The Decode) Token Economics and Frontier Model Cost Pressure: Dan and Pat discuss a substantive shift in how enterprises are thinking about AI consumption costs. Dan argues that "token maxing," the practice of defaulting to the most powerful frontier model for every task, has now effectively peaked, as bills have come due at scale. Companies paying for tokens in volume are starting to question whether they can afford the prices that frontier models actually cost to deliver. Pat pushes back, saying the dynamic is still present, but both analysts agree that the market is moving toward a model where token selection is matched to the job, with Microsoft's MOE approach and thinking models positioned to help CFOs manage that economics story. (The Decode) Continuum Goes Public at Highest Valuation for an AI Platform: Dan notes that Continuum, the Honeywell-spawned quantum company, went public this week at what he calls the highest valuation for an AI platform to date. He flags that IonQ will likely contest that characterization. The broader context is Microsoft entering the quantum conversation with Majorana 2 at Build, a name that has largely been absent from the quantum race, while IBM has received most of the attention. (The Decode) AI CapEx Has Outgrown Cash Flow — Alphabet's $80 Billion Equity Raise: On June 1, Alphabet announced an $80 billion equity capital raise, upsized to $85 billion, structured as $40 billion ATM, $30 billion underwritten, and a $10 billion private placement with Berkshire Hathaway anchoring. Pat frames the questions over CapEx returns as entirely dependent on whether you are an AI boomer or a doomer: if the payback comes, the raise is the right move. If it does not, the math doesn't close. Dan argues the investment is existential, drawing parallels to how infrastructure-first companies have always spent ahead of monetization, and notes that Google's equity is being used as a capital engine that may be more efficient than the debt markets right now. Both analysts flag the downstream implications for Broadcom, MediaTek, and Marvell given the TPU connection. (The Decode) The Network Becomes the AI Platform: Cisco Live 2026: Cisco launched Silicon One P200, the Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA and Spectrum X, AgenticOps, MCP-native automation, Cisco IQ, LiveProtect, and folded Astrix Security and Galileo into Splunk under one control plane. Pat identifies Cisco Cloud Control as the biggest announcement of the entire show, pulling together Catalyst, Meraki, Nexus, Firewall, and WebEx under agentic ops that run natively through MCP, with code running directly on smart switches that have x86 processors. Pat also credits Cisco for establishing Silicon One as a credible chip alternative for hyperscalers capable of taking on Tomahawk and Jericho. Dan frames the long-term opportunity as campus and branch enablement when industrial AI and robotics deployments accelerate, arguing that the numerator of AI's economic impact has barely started, as edge deployment spending has not yet begun. (The Decode) The Flip: Did Microsoft Build 2026 Effectively End the OpenAI Partnership? Pat argues the divorce decree has been filed. MAI-Thinking-1 was built with zero distillation from third-party models offering clean enterprise data lineage, with Maia 200 in production plus Anthropic chip supply, which signals vendor hedging. OpenAI is going all-in on AWS, which means you cannot be married to two people, and the full Build stack covering model, OS containment via MXC, agents via Scout and Agent 365, and context via Microsoft IQ removes every architectural dependency on OpenAI. Dan counters that Microsoft is hedging rather than leaving and predicts the partnership will run through the decade. Enterprise Copilot customers are explicitly showing in data that they demand GPT 5.5, internal benchmarks have not been independently validated, and Microsoft stands to make meaningful money from the OpenAI IPO. (The Flip) Broadcom Q2 FY26 Earnings: Broadcom posted revenue of $22.19 billion, a narrow miss depending on which consensus data set is used, with EPS of $2.44 beating estimates and AI semis at $10.8 billion. Hock Tan declined to raise the $100 billion full-year AI chip target, and the stock dropped 13% in premarket trading. Q3 guide came in at $29.4 billion. Pat calls the miss a timing issue driven by Google's multi-sourcing across Marvell, MediaTek, and Broadcom rather than a fundamental problem. Dan flags that Hock Tan opened the earnings call by accidentally reading from the 2025 print, calling it "not the best moment." Sell-side re-ratings held in the 500s across Jefferies, Mizuho, and Deutsche Bank despite the drop, with Futurum Equities having it at 600. (Bulls and Bears) Hewlett Packard Enterprise Q2 FY26 Earnings: HPE delivered revenue of $10.68 billion, up 40% year over year, and EPS of $0.79, up 100%. Juniper integration and AI servers both outperformed, and all FY26 guides were raised. The stock jumped 19% after hours before settling into a roughly 15% gain, with HPE up 68% over the last month. Pat frames HPE as a value play rather than a volume play, methodically targeting enterprise and sovereign cloud deals where it can maintain profitability, rather than competing for massive NeoCloud volume. Antonio Neri was clear on the call that the profitability pull-forward is a one-shot deal. Pat and Dan will both be at HPE Discover the week after next to interview Neri and the C-suite. (Bulls and Bears) Palo Alto Networks Q3 FY26 Earnings: Palo Alto posted revenue of $3.0 billion, up 31% year over year, beating the $2.94 billion estimate, with non-GAAP EPS of $0.85, beating the $0.79 to $0.81 range. NGS ARR reached $8.1 billion, up 60% year over year, including $1.6 billion from CyberArk and Chronosphere. RPO hit $18.4 billion, up 36%. Both FY26 revenue and EPS guides were raised. Adjusted FCF margin came in at 38.5% TTM, up 430 basis points. The stock jumped 11% immediately after hours, then drifted lower. Pat points to 2,200 platformized customers and 120% net retention as the most important metrics. Dan notes the SaaSpocalypse thesis continues to be wrong. (Bulls and Bears) CrowdStrike Q1 FY27 Earnings and the Proprietary Data Moat Argument: CrowdStrike posted revenue of $1.39 billion with EPS of $1.10 and ARR of $5.51 billion. Net new ARR of $255.8 million set a Q1 record, up 32% year over year. FY27 net new ARR guide was raised by $52 million to a $1.29 billion midpoint, and FY27 revenue was raised to $5.915 to $5.959 billion. A 4-for-1 stock split was announced effective July 2nd. The stock dropped 11% despite the beat after a 64% year-to-date run into earnings. Dan uses the results to make a broader argument against the software disruption thesis, referencing Palantir CEO Alex Karp daring customers to build without him using Anthropic or OpenAI, and Larry Ellison's argument that the real AI value unlock sits in proprietary enterprise data that is not accessible to frontier models. Enterprises with governed, secure, proprietary data will continue to need platforms like CrowdStrike regardless of what frontier models can do. (Bulls and Bears) Six Five Summit is coming.

Breathe in peace and tranquility through this guided meditation led by Julie Potiker. She completes the meditation with the poem, "All the Ways to Name a Dragonfly", by Ellen Rowland.This version ends with music allowing you to drift off into sleep.All the Ways to Name a DragonflyWhat if your first thought upon wakingwas not of all you have to do, or how sadand frightening the world is, but this:I am alive. In a body. On a day I have never met.Hello, you beauty.What if, instead of reaching for a dark screen,you stood on the back porch of this weeping,sought the bay window of the sky seeping peachlight into your soul, or maybe slate, salmon,cerulean, painting the day alive with swathesof impossible color right before your eyes.What if, despite your knotted heart, you made a listof everyone you love, anthologized the weedsin your yard, collected seeds, feathers, and lost poems,made a lexicon of all the ways to name a dragonflyin this world: libellule, vážka, dreóilín, pilivesa, spāre.What if you then made something with your hands—a daisy chain, bread, a potholder, a salad of dandelions—and gave it to someone near, a neighbor, a child, a stranger,because the others are too far away. This matters, too.And what if, today, you allowed yourself to feel the rough huskof all you are—every fault, fear, scab and scar—so that the goalis not to be right or good, but to be whole.

This week we sparked up Black Maple from Dragonfly, and right out of the jar… yeah, the name tracks.Dark, sweet, maple syrup vibes. Not the fake pancake syrup from childhood. We're talking the thick, rich, Costco real-maple kind that makes you question every breakfast decision you've made before now.Black Maple comes in as a true hybrid bred from Dulce de Uva x Sherbanger, and this one hit interesting.For us, the effects came on pretty head-first. Forehead, temples, behind the eyes, that “okay I definitely feel this” pressure, but without tipping into couch-lock territory. It had some lift thanks to the pinene presence, but didn't fully commit to being an energetic daytime strain either.Basically?

More going on than just “big THC number go brrrr.”And honestly… that became part of the conversation.Because somewhere in this episode we started talking about how chasing the highest THC is still one of the dumbest shopping habits in cannabis.Black Maple wasn't bad. Not even close.It looked great.Smelled fantastic.Flavor was solid.Effects got better as it settled in.But compared to some strain combos we've mixed lately? It felt like this one might actually shine more as a pairing strain than a solo act.Which led us down a whole rabbit hole of cannabis blending, terp stacking, entourage effect conversations, and whether more people should be intentionally mixing strains instead of always hunting the newest hype jar.Best reported tendencies from this one?HappyRelaxedFocusedMild pain reliefWould we smoke it again? Yeah.Would we reach for it over some of our favorite custom combos? Probably not.But if you've had Black Maple from a different grower or batch, your mileage may absolutely vary because cannabis is wildly batch-dependent.Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement.

MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen talks with Barbara Kelemen, Associate Director for Geoeconomics & Global Risks at Dragonfly on this week’s International News Review. We begin with the Iran conflict, which is now sending shockwaves through global energy markets. Tankers are breaking down under a flood of tainted fuel, supply chains are tightening. Barbara explains how this crisis is reshaping risk assessments for governments and multinationals across Asia, the world’s largest energy‑importing region. We then zoom out to the global macro outlook, where geopolitical volatility, fragmented regulation, and rising protectionism are creating a more complex operating environment for businesses. Barbara shares Dragonfly’s geopolitical forecast for the second half of 2026, including the flashpoints to watch and the scenarios that could shift markets overnight. Finally, we look at the APAC impact: how companies in Singapore and across the region are adapting their strategies, diversifying supply chains, and preparing for a world defined by uncertainty.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Planetary Society's 2026 Day of Action brought something new this year. For the very first time, the advocacy day was followed by a showcase of NASA funded science in an event called Igniting Discovery. Host Sarah Al-Ahmed speaks with Jack Kiraly, Director of Government Relations at the Planetary Society, about how the event came together, and with first-time advocate Julianna Charlene Kolczynski, whose passion for space traces back to her grandfather's dreams. Megan McKeown, Director of Governmental Affairs at the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities, opens the event. Then we hear from the scientists themselves: Blake Schreurs of the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, planetary scientist Kirby Runyon of the Planetary Science Institute, Christine McCarthy of Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Brent McBride of the University of Maryland Baltimore County, biomechanics PhD student Liliana Delgado of the University of Nebraska Omaha, and science communicator Sarah Treadwell, also known as Space Case Sarah. Planetary Society member Ari Gozlan closes with a reflection on what it means to celebrate science after the Day of Action. Plus, Chief Scientist Bruce Betts joins Sarah for What's Up.

The continued failure to detect WIMPs has led to a "Dark Crisis" and more speculative theories. Some scientists suggest dark matter could be primordial black holes formed during the Big Bang, or "fuzzy" dark matter made of extremely light particles. Challenges also arise from "dragonfly galaxies" like Dragonfly 44, which appear to lack dark matter entirely, a problem for both CDM and MOND theories. Physicist Erik Verlinde proposes emergent gravity, where gravity is not a fundamental force but emerges from a deeper level of reality, potentially removing the need for dark matter. Some fresh thinking suggests that MOND and CDM might even work in concert. As the search continues through deep-mine experiments, the ISS, and massive telescopes in Chile, theorists remain at a frontier of trying to explain why 95% of the universe remains invisible.

Interview with Anthony Margarit, President & CEO of K2 GoldOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/k2-gold-tsxvkto-high-grade-gold-project-nears-drilling-breakthrough-7843Recording date: 22nd April 2026K2 Gold (TSXV:KTO) has reached a meaningful inflection point. The company has received a Record of Decision on its Mojave Project in Inyo County, California completing a full Environmental Impact Statement process that typically applies to mine development, not exploration drilling. That distinction matters. K2 Gold navigated this regulatory gauntlet as an exploration-stage company, and in doing so has established a permitting position that competitors will find difficult and time-consuming to replicate.The Mojave Project's east side gold trend is the primary near-term focus. Multiple parallel stacked oxide structures, dipping at approximately 70 degrees to the west, run across a 500-metre wide corridor along a 5 km trend. Mineralisation begins at surface, all material drilled to date is oxide, and the deepest planned holes average 220 to 250 metres without any previous operator having intersected the sulphide interface. Early shake-test metallurgical work has returned recoveries of 96–98%, a directionally positive early signal for processing simplicity, though systematic work remains ahead.The Dragonfly target, where K2 Gold's 2020 highlight hole returned 86.9 metres at 4 g/t gold, anchors the east side programme. Eighteen drill pads are fully permitted across this zone, each accommodating four holes and positioned to be 43-101 resource compliant. Management's stated priority for 2026, however, is not resource definition but rather for target testing. The company has more high-priority undrilled ground than it can drill in a single season, which is a function of the project's scale rather than a limitation of capital or access.The most significant undrilled target is located 1.5 kilometres north of Dragonfly, on the same structural system. Rock samples from this area have returned grades of up to 375 g/t gold with further samples of 142.5 g/t and numerous results above 30 g/t. This area carries no attributed resource value and has never seen a drill hole. The Stega and Flores targets add further depth to the undrilled queue, with channel samples grading 4–8 g/t and 4 g/t respectively over multi-metre intervals.On the west side of the project, a 5 km copper trend supported by more than 200 many a century old historic workings and the polymetallic Morning Star area, adjacent to the historic Sarah Gorde silver mine, add optionality that has not yet been tested by modern drilling. Both areas sit on patented claims and are drill-accessible under existing permits.The company's financial position reinforces its operational readiness. A C$25.25 million financing closed in January 2026, attracting K2 Gold's first institutional investor. All warrants have been exercised or expired, leaving a clean capital structure. Up to C$12 million has been allocated to exploration in 2026, and management has stated the company is funded beyond the year. The SI2 Nevada epithermal project provides additional near-term news flow, with assay results from a recently completed seven-hole programme expected imminently.K2 Gold heads into 2026 with a funded exploration programme, a clean share structure, a fully permitted flagship project, and a drilling queue that spans multiple high-grade, undrilled targets. The geological and financial conditions are in place. The drill results will determine the outcome.View K2 Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/k2-gold-corporationSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

It describes itself as a public permissionless blockchain. But is it?  Yuval Rooz, co-founder and CEO of Digital Asset, faces off against Alex Gluchowski, co-founder and CEO of Matter Labs, and Dragonfly managing partner Haseeb Qureshi in a live debate.  The charges range from foundational: Canton cannot enforce financial rules without a trusted third party, its validators are permissioned in everything but name, and there is no universally shared ledger. Rooz fires back on all of it and, at one point, concedes something that may surprise you.  If the label matters as much as the technology, this episode will force you to decide what blockchain actually means, and whether that answer has consequences for the institutions staking their infrastructure on it.

Sponsor LinkTo check out our special NordVPN offer for Astronomy Daily listeners: Click HereAstronomy Daily — S05E90 | Wednesday, April 22, 2026 In today's episode, Anna and Avery cover six stories spanning the fading power of humanity's most distant probe, fresh evidence for ancient life on Mars, a landmark black hole measurement, a SpaceX reusability milestone, a sobering assessment of the Artemis spacesuit programme, and tonight's moon and Jupiter conjunction.   Story 1 — Voyager 1 Powers Down the LECP Instrument •       NASA's JPL shut down Voyager 1's Low-energy Charged Particles experiment (LECP) on April 17, 2026, to conserve dwindling power. •       The decision followed an unexpected power drop during a routine roll manoeuvre in late February that nearly triggered an automatic emergency shutdown. •       Seven of Voyager 1's ten original instrument sets are now offline. Only the magnetometer and plasma wave subsystem remain active. •       Engineers are developing 'the Big Bang' — a plan to swap older components with lower-power alternatives — to extend operations into the 2030s. Testing on Voyager 2 is planned for May/June 2026; Voyager 1 to follow no sooner than July. •       Source: NASA JPL — https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasa-shuts-off-instrument-on-voyager-1-to-keep-spacecraft-operating/   Story 2 — Curiosity Rover Finds Organic Molecules on Mars •       Published April 21 in Nature Communications, the study describes the first use of the TMAH chemical experiment on another planet. •       More than 20 organic molecules were detected in clay-rich sandstone from the Glen Torridon region of Gale Crater, preserved for over 3.5 billion years. •       Discoveries include a nitrogen-bearing molecule structurally similar to DNA precursors — never before confirmed on Mars — and benzothiophene. •       The experiment cannot determine whether molecules are biological, geological, or meteoritic in origin. Future missions including Rosalind Franklin and Dragonfly will build on the technique. •       Source: phys.org — https://phys.org/news/2026-04-mars-rover-compounds.html   Story 3 — Black Hole Jets in Cygnus X-1 •       Curtin University-led study published April 16 in Nature Astronomy directly measures the instantaneous power of black hole jets for the first time. •       The jets in the Cygnus X-1 system carry energy equivalent to 10,000 suns and travel at approximately half the speed of light (150,000 km/s). •       Researchers used the companion star's stellar winds to 'bend' the jets, allowing calculation of their real-time power — a technique compared to watching wind deflect a fountain. •       About 10% of the energy released as matter falls into the black hole is carried away by the jets — confirming a long-held theoretical assumption. •       The measurement will help calibrate future observations from the Square Kilometre Array Observatory, currently under construction in WA. •       Source: ScienceDaily — https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/04/260416071949.htm   Story 4 — SpaceX 600th Rocket Landing •       SpaceX completed its 600th successful Falcon booster landing on April 19, 2026, during the Starlink 17-22 mission from Vandenberg SFB. •       Booster B1097 landed on drone ship 'Of Course I Still Love You' for its eighth successful recovery. The milestone arrived just 7 months after the 500th landing. •       The tally includes 496 drone ship landings and 104 ground landings, per SpaceX VP Kiko Dontchev. •       SpaceX's Starlink constellation now numbers over 10,275 satellites in orbit. •       Source: Space.com — https://www.space.com/space-exploration/launches-spacecraft/spacex-starlink-17-22-b1097-vsfb-ofisly-600th-falcon-landing   Story 5 — Artemis Spacesuit Crisis •       NASA's Office of Inspector General report (released April 20) warns that next-generation Artemis spacesuits may not be ready until 2031 — three years after the stated 2028 target. •       The xEVAS programme began as a two-company competition (Axiom Space + Collins Aerospace). Collins has effectively been removed after missing milestones. Axiom is now the sole contractor for the lunar surface suit. •       OIG analysis: based on an 8.7-year historical average from contract award to first flight for comparable NASA programmes, Axiom's 2022 award points to a 2031 delivery. •       NASA Administrator Isaacman has publicly maintained confidence in the 2028 date. Axiom plans a suit demonstration in 2026 on the ISS or during an Artemis mission. •       A separate risk: if the ISS variant of the suit slips past 2030, the Station could run out of operational EVA suits before decommissioning. •       Additional Artemis delays: SpaceX lunar Starship at least 2 years late; Blue Origin Blue Moon at least 8 months late (per separate March OIG report). •       Source: SpaceDaily — https://spacedaily.com/sd-n-the-spacesuit-gap-why-artemis-iiis-2028-landing-date-is-already-slipping/   Story 6 — Skywatching: Moon & Jupiter Conjunction •       Tonight (April 22), the half moon sits approximately 3 degrees from Jupiter in the constellation Gemini, near the stars Castor and Pollux. •       Visible to the naked eye in the western/northwestern sky after sunset. Binoculars will reveal Jupiter's four Galilean moons. •       Southern Hemisphere viewers: look northwest after dark; viewing window narrows the further south you are. •       Source: Space.com — https://www.space.com/stargazing/the-moon-and-jupiter-steal-the-show-after-sunset-on-april-22Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/astronomy-daily-space-news-updates--5648921/support.Sponsor Details:Ensure your online privacy by using NordVPN.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Andi sits down with Kathryn LeBlanc of Dragonfly's Quilting Design Studio (and author Kathryn Mykel) to talk about what it really looks like to keep reinventing your creative business when the thing that's working stops working. Kathryn opened a brick-and-mortar quilt shop with no money, no inventory, and no business background - then closed it right before COVID hit. She pivoted to Facebook Lives and made more in two years than she did in five years with the shop. When that dried up, she went to school for self-publishing and launched a cozy mystery series set in the quilting world that regularly hits bestseller lists.They also dig into the business side of running designer collaborations - what makes a 50-week block program succeed or fall apart, how to actually make money from free patterns instead of just giving your work away, and why your free pattern is the coupon (so stop stacking discounts on top of it). Plus, Kathryn shares how she landed magazine features in a short window and why having a publishing schedule from her book career gave her an unexpected edge.Whether you're thinking about your next pivot or just trying to figure out how to monetize what you're already doing, this one's full of real talk from someone who's done it - multiple times over.Don't miss an episode!

What happens when traditional recovery messaging does not fit someone's lived reality? For many people living with long-term eating disorders, the expectation of full recovery can feel overwhelming, unrealistic, or even invalidating. In these situations, harm reduction for eating disorders offers another path forward, one that centers dignity, autonomy, safety, and compassion. In this episode of the Dr. Marianne-Land Podcast, Dr. Marianne speaks with Johanna Scoglio, M.Ed., M.B.A., founder of Dragonfly's Dream, a nonprofit rooted in lived experience and dedicated to supporting people with long-term eating disorders through harm reduction, peer support, and mind-body healing. Johanna brings both professional expertise and personal insight to this conversation. Together, she and Dr. Marianne explore how harm reduction approaches can support individuals who have been living with eating disorders for many years and may feel overlooked by traditional treatment models. This episode offers a thoughtful and compassionate discussion about chronic eating disorders, community care, and new ways of thinking about healing. Understanding Harm Reduction for Long-Term Eating Disorders Harm reduction is an approach that focuses on reducing suffering and increasing safety, rather than insisting on a single definition of recovery. In the context of long-term eating disorders or chronic eating disorders, harm reduction acknowledges that healing is complex and that people deserve support even if their symptoms do not disappear entirely. Johanna explains that harm reduction is not about giving up on healing. Instead, it is about meeting people where they are and supporting meaningful improvements in quality of life. For many individuals living with persistent eating disorders, this may mean reducing medical risk, building sustainable coping strategies, improving emotional well-being, and creating environments where eating and nourishment feel safer. Rather than framing recovery as all-or-nothing, harm reduction allows space for nuance, flexibility, and compassion. The Role of Peer Support in Eating Disorder Healing A key focus of Johanna's work is peer support for eating disorders. Many people living with long-term eating disorders report feeling isolated or misunderstood, especially when their experiences fall outside standard recovery narratives. Peer support can create powerful spaces where individuals feel seen, understood, and less alone. Johanna shares how peer-led communities offer validation and connection. When people speak openly with others who have lived through similar experiences, shame often begins to soften. Peer support can also provide practical strategies, encouragement, and hope that healing is still possible, even when the journey looks different than expected. For many individuals, peer support becomes a vital complement to therapy, medical care, or other forms of treatment. It reminds people that they are not alone and that their experiences matter. Expanding the Conversation About Eating Disorder Recovery This episode also explores how the eating disorder field can broaden its understanding of recovery. Traditional treatment models often emphasize full symptom elimination as the only successful outcome. While full recovery is possible for many people, others may experience a more complicated path. Johanna and Dr. Marianne discuss how harm reduction frameworks allow clinicians, families, and communities to support individuals without judgment. Instead of labeling someone as failing recovery, harm reduction acknowledges the realities of persistent eating disorders and prioritizes safety, dignity, and compassionate care. By shifting the focus toward quality of life, connection, and incremental change, harm reduction can help people build more sustainable relationships with food, their bodies, and their communities. About Johanna Scoglio Johanna Scoglio, M.Ed., M.B.A., is the founder of Dragonfly's Dream, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting individuals living with long-term eating disorders. Her work centers on harm reduction, peer support, and mind-body healing, with the goal of creating spaces where people can access compassionate and realistic support. Through advocacy, education, and community building, Johanna is helping expand the conversation around chronic eating disorders, recovery pathways, and inclusive care.

This week on Cannabis School, we break down Stink by Dragonfly Wellness, a 30% THC Utah medical cannabis flower that hits harder in the lungs than you expect and slower in the head than you think.We cover the cure, dryness level, aroma, and terpene profile, including limonene, beta-caryophyllene, and beta-pinene, and how that combination translates into a peppery, fuel-forward inhale. Big hits will check your ego. Smaller pulls are the move.The onset is slow. Then it builds.Stink lands in a weird middle space. Not sleepy. Not productive. Not locked in. It's a heady, floaty high with tension in the shoulders and jaw, a subtle spine awareness, and a reflective mental state that makes deep focus hard but self-awareness stronger.This is not your “clean the house” strain.Not your “crush emails” strain.Not your “party with friends” strain.This feels more like:• A solo hike strain• A grounding, barefoot-in-the-yard strain• A disconnect-from-your-phone strain• A slow down to speed up strainWe also talk about how THC percentage does not automatically equal stronger effects, why 18% strains can sometimes outperform 30% flower, and how terpene structure matters more than raw numbers.If you're searching for:Dragonfly Wellness strain reviewsStink strain reviewUtah medical cannabis flower30% THC cannabis effectsHigh THC heady strainsThis episode gives you the honest breakdown, not hype.As always, start low, know your body, and pay attention to how your endocannabinoid system responds.Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement.

Crypto still feels like a minefield for humans: Haseeb Qureshi argues that's a clue, not a bug: blockchains and smart contracts are machine-readable systems that AI agents can parse, simulate, and execute far more reliably than people, shifting crypto's core user from humans clicking through wallets to agents acting on our behalf. We also dig into the two-track future of agent commerce (safe, human-approved flows vs. the wild-west frontier), why major AI labs have avoided crypto training so far (liability), how agent-driven discovery could rewrite DeFi competition, and what this means for Dragonfly's investing playbook. ------

One of the most exciting missions to ever journey to the outer solar system has the be the Dragonfly multi-rotor helicopter that will head to Saturn's moon Titan in 2028. The car-sized probe will arrive at that strange, frozen world in 2034, descending into the soupy, smoggy atmosphere and then taking flight before it even touches the ground! We spoke with the mission's Principal Investigator, Dr. Elizabeth "Zibi" Turtle, about the mission's origins, current progress, and what to expect in the coming years. She also took us through a narrated tour of the surface of Titan, with its hydrocarbon sand dunes and methane seas. The Dragonfly mission will be an adventure of a lifetime!

Dragonfly raises a $650M Fund IV amid crypto's institutional vs retail sentiment gap, the industry exodus including Kyle Samani's departure from Multicoin, OpenClaw's OpenAI acquisition and crypto Twitter harassment, X402 payment standards for AI agents, Polymarket's controversial 5-minute Bitcoin betting markets, and the brewing federal vs state regulation battle over prediction markets. Welcome to The Chopping Block — where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This episode kicks off with major news: Dragonfly just closed their $650 million Fund IV, making them one of the largest crypto VCs not through growth, but because others have downsized. The timing feels surreal — they keep raising right when markets dump, creating the biggest gap between institutional optimism and retail sentiment Haseeb has ever seen. But money flowing in contrasts sharply with talent flowing out. Kyle Samani left Multicoin, Arianna Simpson departed A16z Crypto, and several other crypto veterans are moving on. The crew unpacks what this "great resignation" means for an industry that feels like it's shifted from pioneer phase to settler phase. Then they dive into the OpenClaw saga — the viral AI coding assistant that got acquired by OpenAI, but not before its creator almost deleted it due to harassment from crypto Twitter demanding he launch a token. This leads to a deep discussion on X402 payment standards and why AI agents might prefer crypto over credit cards. Finally, they debate Polymarket's controversial 5-minute Bitcoin betting markets and the brewing legal battle between federal and state regulation of prediction markets. Let's get into it.

What does it mean to follow Jesus when the state is demanding your loyalty—and the church is tempted to comply? Watch the video of this episode on YouTube here. On the 120th anniversary of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's birth (February 4th), Russell sits down with Charles Marsh—author of Strange Glory: A Life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer—to ask why Bonhoeffer still captivates Christians and what his witness demands from us now. Together, they explore how Bonhoeffer recognized the moral collapse of the German church earlier than most, and why he insisted that confessing Christ's lordship must sometimes give way to concrete, costly action in history. The conversation widens to the pastoral dilemma Bonhoeffer never escaped: when is it enough to proclaim the gospel faithfully, and when must a preacher speak directly to the crisis at hand? Marsh reflects on the tension between shaping consciences slowly and naming injustice plainly, and how Bonhoeffer struck a balance. Marsh ultimately tells the story of his own father, a Mississippi pastor who preached “Amazing Grace for Every Race” at real personal cost, and of figures like Will D. Campbell and Fannie Lou Hamer, whose Christian witness fused tenderness with moral clarity. Their lives, Marsh suggests, reveal that faithfulness may not be loud, but it is never neutral.
