Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for June 25, 2025 is: flotsam FLAHT-sum noun Flotsam refers to the floating pieces that remain after a shipwreck, or more broadly to any floating debris or wreckage. It is also used figuratively to refer to miscellaneous or unimportant material, often in the phrase "flotsam and jetsam." // Driftwood and other flotsam washed onto the beach. // Their apartment was adorned with the flotsam and jetsam of thrift stores and yard sales. See the entry > Examples: "The Vancouver multidisciplinary artist and educator [Alex Tedlie-Stursberg] works in various mediums, using found objects and natural materials scavenged from the ocean's edge and the landscape of the city. Detritus and flotsam become parts of beautiful sculptures, tableaus and assemblages in this artist's hands." — Dana Gee, The Vancouver (British Columbia) Sun, 23 Nov. 2024 Did you know? English speakers started using flotsam, jetsam, and lagan as legal terms in the 16th and 17th centuries, with flotsam itself dating to the first years of the 17th. The three words were used to establish claims of ownership of the three types of seaborne, vessel-originated goods they named. Flotsam was anything from a shipwreck (the word comes from Anglo-French floter, meaning "to float"), and jetsam and lagan were items thrown overboard to reduce the cargo weight of a ship. Lagan was distinguished from jetsam by having a buoy attached so the goods could be found if they sank. In the 19th century, when flotsam and jetsam took on extended meanings, they developed synonymous applications and are today often paired, lagan having mostly been left at sea.

What lives inside beautiful, silent things? In a quiet English manor, a collector of rare objects welcomes guests, family, and a child with an unusual gift. The air is calm. The room is bright. But some objects carry more than history. D.K. Broster's Clairvoyance is not a tale of shadows and creaking floors. It is something more delicate—and more unsettling. A story where knowing too much may draw you close to something you never meant to meet. D.K. Broster's short story Clairvoyance was first published in 1932 as part of her collection A Fire of Driftwood, issued by William Heinemann Ltd. The collection showcases Broster's range beyond historical fiction, featuring several supernatural tales that highlight her psychological insight and narrative control. Clairvoyance stands out for its restrained atmosphere and eerie ambiguity, earning it enduring praise among readers of uncanny fiction. The collection is now in the public domain and is freely available through digital archives such as Faded Page and Project Gutenberg Canada.

2. The Death and Life of River Song Series 02: Ace and Tegan This title was released in March 2025. It will be exclusively available to buy from the Big Finish website until 31 May 2025, and on general sale after this date. Ace and Tegan have been plucked from their twenty-first century lives and stranded in 1860. But who is responsible, and why is River Song mixing in nineteenth century society too? Somebody is out to eliminate the three of them, as Ace and Tegan realise that this may not be their first meeting with River. Their lives are entangled, and to escape, somebody must pay the ultimate price... 2.1 Castaways by James Moran Adrift in the past, Ace and Tegan are looking into supposed hauntings on London's new underground railway lines. But how and why are they there? Their memories are not what they were, and they are about to encounter River Song, perhaps not for the first time. One thing is certain - River knows more than she is telling! 2.2 Driftwood by Roland Moore Back in her TARDIS travels, Ace is cut off from the Doctor, on a stricken spaceship with sixty minutes to live. Something has invaded the vessel - something that travels along wires and can control its metal structure. As time runs out, Ace's only hope may be a mysterious woman with a blaster and fantastic hair. 2.3 Dead Rising by Roland Moore With the Doctor and Turlough on ice, Tegan faces interrogation from the Pilot of Vrexel colony. Something is making the colonists drop down dead... Tegan claims she is just in the wrong place at the wrong time. But when River Song arrives and the dead start rising, Tegan's problems get a whole lot worse... 2.4 The End is the Beginning is the End by James Moran River, Ace and Tegan must stop Gregor Ganley from changing their past again, and again... and again. But he's always one step ahead. And River's new friends want to convince her that assassination is not always the best option. But first, they have the matter of imminent certain death to deal with... **Please note: the collector's edition CD box set is strictly limited to 1,250 copies**

Loaded Radio Podcast: Greg Burgess of Allegaeon Discusses 'The Ossuary Lens' & Warfield Talks Thrash Metal TL;DR On this episode of the Loaded Radio Podcast, Scott Penfold sits down with Greg Burgess of Allegaeon to discuss the band's latest album, “The Ossuary Lens”, which was released on April 4 via Metal Blade Records. This marks the band's first new music featuring original vocalist Ezra Haynes since his departure in 2015. Also featured is a conversation with German thrash metal trio Warfield, who recently released their new album, “With The Old Breed” via Napalm Records. Allegaeon Returns with 'The Ossuary Lens' Technical death metal powerhouse Allegaeon has unleashed their latest full-length album, “The Ossuary Lens,” released on April 4 via Metal Blade Records. This album marks a significant moment for the band, as it is their first release with original vocalist Ezra Haynes since his 2015 departure following the “Elements Of The Infinite” album. The return of Haynes brings back Allegaeon's brutal and technically dazzling sound, which fans have been eagerly awaiting. The band's latest single, “Driftwood,” serves as a powerful introduction to the new record, with its unique blend of melodic, technical death metal — a sound Haynes describes as “melotech.” “We're just so happy to finally release new music,” said Greg Burgess. “We're working on a full album's worth of material, but I feel like it's gonna drop kind of in chunks and then hopefully the rest of it all at once kind of thing.” Recording once again with producer Dave Otero at Flatline Audio studio in Denver, Allegaeon continues their 17-year relationship with the producer. “Dave always provides a comfortable working environment, amazing ideas, and a career-spanning understanding of what has made Allegaeon, Allegaeon,” added Burgess. The album's overarching theme focuses on various perspectives of death, with each track exploring a unique viewpoint. Haynes explained, “Each song essentially is a different topic, however there is always a different perspective of death tied to each subject.” Allegaeon's Latest Album - 'The Ossuary Lens' Track Listing: 01. Refraction 02. Chaos Theory 03. Driftwood 04. Dies Irae 05. The Swarm 06. Carried By Delusion 07. Dark Matter Dynamics 08. Imperial 09. Wake Circling Above 10. Scythe Warfield - German Thrash Metal Titans Alongside the conversation with Greg Burgess, the Loaded Radio Podcast also features an interview with German thrash metal band Warfield. Their latest album, “With The Old Breed,” was released via Napalm Records and continues their tradition of relentless thrash metal inspired by bands like Slayer, Sodom, Kreator, and the Bay Area Thrash scene. Warfield, consisting of Johannes Clemens (Vocals & Bass), Matthias Clemens (Guitar), and Dominik Marx (Drums), is known for their aggressive approach to social and political themes, which they express through their brutal and fast-paced sound. Their most recent album follows their 2018 debut, “Wrecking Command,” which was released via Metal on Met

In celebration of Women's History Month, this week on the Access Hour, we are sharing two book launch events by amazing female historians that were held recently at the Filson Historical Society in Old Louisville! First up, we'll take you back to February 25, 2025, when the Filson hosted the book launch for Jessica K. Whitehead's insightful new text, "Driftwood: The Life of Harlan Hubbard." Jessica offers remarks on her comprehensive biography of the writer, artist, and sustainability pioneer Harlan Hubbard (1900-1988) and the deep impact Harlan and his wife, Anna, have had on Kentucky's culture. Whitehead's book delves into Hubbard's family background, education, and relationships, and into his theories on art, writing, music, and philosophy. Using journals, letters, paintings, manuscripts, and sketches, Whitehead pieces together the distinct phases of Hubbard's life, providing new insights into his character and legacy. Following the remarks, members of the NouLou Chamber Players, Heather Thomas (violin) and Cecilia Huerta-Lauf (cello), join with pianist Sebastian Chang in the world premiere of composer Daniel Gilliam's “Piano Trio No. 2: Payne Hollow.” This exciting new piece of music, written by Gilliam in conjunction with the book launch celebrates the Hubbards' vision of living and working on their own terms. The trio also honors the Harlan and Anna Hubbards' deep love of classical music performance—showcasing the instruments they once played: piano, cello, and violin. Jessica K. Whitehead, writer and curator of collections at the Kentucky Derby Museum in Louisville, is author of "The History of the Kentucky Derby in 75 Objects" and a contributor to "The Watercolors of Harlan Hubbard: From the Collection of Bill and Flo Caddell." Daniel Gilliam is a composer from Louisville, KY. He is also the program director, and an announcer, on 90.5 WUOL Classical Louisville. Watch a recording of the evening and see the musical performance and images referenced at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BucL0S6vD94. Following that, we'll hear from another amazing historian, Eliza McGraw, who spoke at the Filson Historical Society on March 6, 2025 about her brand new book, "Astride: Horses, Women, and a Partnership That Shaped America." In the book, Eliza weaves together stories of women who pioneered in worlds such as Thoroughbred breeding, the circus, and horse rescue at a time when American women in general internalized the lessons of horsewomen: take chances, take up more space, and learn to get back on. From tamers to caretakers and performers to teachers, all worked with horses to buck the status quo. Expressing the idea of femininity with athleticism and authority, these trailblazers changed the way America understood women. Richly illustrated with period photographs, Astride demonstrates that even small changes can advance the fight for progress. Eliza McGraw is the Dr. Tony Ryan Book Award–winning author of "Here Comes Exterminator! The Longshot Horse, the Great War, and the Making of an American Hero" and a contributing writer for EQUUS magazine.

Ed opens up about his songwriting process, his favorite songs to perform, and what fans can expect from Driftwood Choir in 2025.And since this is Bar Conversations, we kick things off by talking drinks—Ed shares his go-to, while Jonathan sips on a Jos. A. Magnus Murray Hill Club. Grab a seat, pour yourself something good, and tune in for an engaging chat about music, creativity, and the road ahead.
Indie duo Driftwood Choir, featuring Portair and Ed Prosek, are gearing up to release their debut self-titled album on March 7th and I'd love to have you check out the release! The duo and Nettwerk labelmates joined forces after bonding over a spirit of wanderlust, creating an uplifting album about change, and connecting with nature and people. Driftwood Choir cements the musical union of two curious creative spirits, whose songwriting eloquence and acuity matches their clear proclivity for adventure. Born in California and based in Berlin, Ed instantly hit it off with the Australia-born Drew (aka Portair), bonding over a spirit of wanderlust both personally and sonically. Two distinct paths brought Ed and Drew to Driftwood Choir. Ed had attracted a fervent fanbase with a series of solo EPs, including The Riverbed [2014], Truth [2016], Light as a Feather [2019], and The Foreigner [2023]. Hailing from the other side of the world, Drew built a devout audience under the name of Portair, captivating with The Light That Gives EP [2021], The Ice That Breaks EP [2022], and Learning How to Die EP [2023]. During the fall of 2023, the duo met in Berlin where they linked up for a drink and made a decision to hit the studio together. During their first proper session, the musicians cooked up “Constantinople.” It eventually amassed over half-a-million streams. Inspired by this newly unearthed working relationship, they kept going. Now, the pair is forging a path together emerging with their debut album out 2025. Thanks for listening!!!

in maintenance repair and operations so whenever you want to talk shop just Reach Out call click granger.com or just stop by Granger for the ones who get it done hey guys so third coffee nothing but phone calls for the last half hour anyway my new um project if you like or thing F the thing with being a recycler right you're always finding new things and new possibilities and new ideas inspiring ideas things that you can use and the other day I was out and about um with my brother we go on these Adventures on Thursdays right and I'd come across a shop that sold fossils and minerals um Rocks Crystals all that sort of thing um snails uh water snail casings and just um absolutely fantastic and I got really excited by them all um and my brother is a photographer stock photographer and there was some Driftwood there it was quite pricey some lovely Driftwood um anyway I was thinking about this Driftwood and I was thinking about how there's so much of it here where I live and thinking that's quite a cool resource isn't it I could sort of forage can you forage for something you can't eat or does foraging mean eating I'm not sure stuff you can eat but I can certainly acquire um bits of wood that I mean and sticks sticks interesting sticks and I really like this idea of sculpting playing creating art from stuff that I found the found object I do it with music I do it with my artworks now I've just done I've just released a load of artworks actually on blink friction which are um graffiti stencils on a a Victorian Bible that was very broken so it couldn't be sold on it was inappropriate for selling but it was fine for recycling as most things are so so much you can do with with recycled materials there really is and it really adds a curiousness and an interest I think to the finished product so really pleased actually with I sold one as well which is really good so if you pop over to eBay and maybe if you search blink friction I don't know I'm not sure if that will come up but if you go to my websites you you'll be able to see all of the wonderful wonderful artworks and fashion that I'm now forging ahead with but I've got so much uh Ro so many raw materials i' I've spent the last month sourcing Bargains on eBay of job lots of things like Army Surplus stuff um patches and old Levis old denim denim's wonderful absolutely wonderful thing to recycle it it's just perfect because barring things like glue if you get glue on denim is no good you won't get that off I don't I think certain glues will never come off anything look like a sort of Evo stick you know that's slightly yellow and it was horrific you there is nothing you can do with glue damaged Fabrics that I have discovered okay you may know differently tell me go to the blog and write me a message go to my Facebook or something so um I've put all this stuff in the cupboard but I did realize that the this it's kind of it makes me feel unsanitary Because unless they've been washed so everything that comes in needs to be washed but you know there's still this sort of idea that it's been around a bit and it's not you know it's not your brand spanking new Vivian Westwood that you just bought in Bond Street or something to you see what I mean it's it hasn't got quite got that same um ring to it or sense about it and of course this it's a sense that I love I love the sense the idea of buying an old Victorian Bible page that has been graffitied um and then you know mounting it in an expensive 3D frame or something really classy really Chic that I think is the perfect mix I do think if you buy a bit of artwork that's recycled you have to think very long and hard about how you're going to display it to make it make sure it's no longer a a Castaway and it doesn't feel like a cast away it doesn't feel like you know if you put it in a a 2bit frame that you know that's got scratches on it and um or a mass-produced plastic frame for example that really you didn't think too much about perhaps if you don't mount it that's always a giveaway should always mount an original artwork so you know these there are ways of making recycled art look really top-notch but you do have to think about it a bit anyway back to the Driftwood so um I was thinking about Driftwood a lot because I was minded of a a frame that I made for a friend very very large drift wood frame and I had to keep going out and sourcing this Driftwood and drying it out and then gluing it onto the mirror and she she said she absolutely loved it I don't know if it was a lie or not I always felt it was but uh in later years I confronted her about it and she promised me that it was absolutely wonderful and she loved it I still don't know if that's actually true so but let Let's Pretend shall we that she thought it was absolutely F she very classy lady as well um so yeah um I was Googling yesterday basically I was Googling how can I be a millionaire with Recycling and I was hoping for some inspiration um but the inspiration that came were well the fact finding Mission the stats proved that the most lucrative of all reclaim is metal so scrap metal that's where the the do is guys scrap metal so you know there are you can be a millionaire but you need a probably a string of scrap metal yards um it's interesting isn't it how something so tangled and dirty could create money I I did find that interesting um there's no way I'm going to do that there's no way I'm going to go out in the middle of the night and rob derel houses of their lead and you know other scraps or buy up old knacked washing machines and sell them for scrap that's just not going to happen um that's not quite what they do though is it I don't know how does scrap what what happens to scrap metal when it's taken into the the yard what happens after that I'm not I'm not 100% sure um I know you can go to a scrap yard and buy bits and in fact my godfather was being really annoying the other day he was saying oh you can go when your em is uh up and they tell you what's wrong you can go and get the pieces that you need secondhand from from scrapyards and my mom and I were like no we're not going to do that and he say no it's very easy just go along and and he would not bloody shut up about it and we were like f off can you imagine well you I don't know if you can but my mother and I a 60 and an 80y old teetering into a scrap metal yard a an old car dumped car place looking for old brake pads so say oh yeah we'll have those I mean do they even get them out for you they probably do actually don't they but no it's not going to happen I mean I I couldn't possibly I've got a bright yellow coat that I'm wearing at the moment um Stella McCartney and there's no way I'd walk in there I'd get dirty I could I'd get dirty just looking at it do you know what I mean this is how I feel about all these reclaimed Levis that I've got slightly Mucky so I've I've found a home for all this stuff that's going to last me two years before I upcycle everything it might even last me 5 years you know but I'm going to make a point of you know trying to create one thing a week for for the clothing cuz blink friction clothing is close to my my heart anyway um so scrap metal was out but then I thought well what natural resources are here you know in my locality and there actually loads lots of fossils and um minerals and and rocks and certain interesting finds that you can you know you scour around this guy at this shop the other day told me that because the the solent between the aisle of white and uh gosport is the it used to be before it was water logged it used to be forest and it and inhabited with people and there are parts of the area this chap told me that you can go to When the tide is out and you can see the old tree stumps you can actually see them because the water's darker or some something he said so I'm absolutely without a Shadow of Doubt want to go there next Thursday I'm really Keen to try that out um but also the Driftwood so I I found some recycled Driftwood models things that people had made with the Driftwood and they excited me greatly people are making Thrones for your garden out of Driftwood fantastic um thousands of pounds and I thought wow that's really adding a lot of value I mean I I'm not much of a carpenter it would be difficult for me to make from scratch something like that but it wouldn't be difficult to get the chair and then to adhes is that a word adhere God I'm visualizing here that the throne that I would make it wouldn't be beyond my cap capabilities to to you know glue basically glue bits of Driftwood all over the chair and create something other something up upcycled something rather fantastic and I'm I'm really Keen to give it a go I over the moon that I found something that that's kind of fidly fiddly and therapeutic but different to Denim because the denims I'm kind of bored of the denim now um so the other thing is you can just get bits of Driftwood and bits of drift Driftwood once they're dried out they they're either soft or hardwood you can tell by pting your nail in and Crafters love them Crafters love Driftwood so the more unusual the shape or I'll tell you who uses Driftwood t

Auf ihren ersten beiden Alben haben sich Dimitri Käch, Alessandro Giannelli und James Varghese dem ausschweifend-dramatischen Post-Rock verschrieben. Für ihr drittes Album «Behind Curtains» wagt das Zürcher Trio nun den vorsichtigen Flirt mit Popstrukturen. Zwar bleiben HOLM auch auf dem neuen Album ein rein instrumentales Projekt, die Songs sind jedoch kürzer geworden, bei der Gitarre blieben die grossen Hall- und Verzerreffekte im Schrank und irgendwo schwingen sogar Khruangbin oder die Hermanos Gutiérrez ein bisschen mit. Woher diese neuen Inspirationen? Darüber sprechen wir mit Gitarrist Dimitri Käch im exklusiven Sounds!-Interview. +++ PLAYLIST +++ · 22:56 – OH MY ACTUAL DAYS von ALABASTER DEPLUME · 22:52 – KEEP ME STARTED von JUNGLE · 22:48 – BRING AN END von BUTLER, BLAKE & GRANT · 22:44 – BACK TO THE LIGHT von TEENAGE FANCLUB · 22:40 – UNBELIEVABLE von DJ KOZE & ADA · 22:34 – RAOUL von SNAPPED ANKLES · 22:31 – QQQQ von ELA MINUS · 22:25 – BROKEN von ELA MINUS · 22:20 – ABRIR MONTE von ELA MINUS · 22:13 – EL CIELO NO ES DE NADIE von ELA MINUS · 22:08 – DEMOLITION von MARIE DAVIDSON · 21:56 – DRIFTWOOD von TRAVIS · 21:52 – ALL CYLINDERS von YVES JARVIS · 21:50 – SCHWARZE MAGIE von DIE HEITERKEIT · 21:47 – SWITCH OVER von HORSEGIRL · 21:43 – 21ST CENTURY COOL GIRL von CHLOE QISHA · 21:39 – KRAFTY von NEW ORDER · 21:36 – LIKE CLEOPATRA von BABE RAINBOW · 21:32 – LOW SUN von HERMANOS GUTIÉRREZ · 21:28 – BEHIND CURTAINS von HOLM · 21:22 – LONG RIDES von HOLM · 21:14 – FAINT OUTLINES von HOLM · 21:10 – THREE FROM TWO von KHRUANGBIN · 21:04 – CRACKED ASPHALT von HOLM · 20:55 – FUNNY PAPERS von MAC MILLER · 20:51 – WINDOWS von GIRLPUPPY · 20:48 – MY LOVE MINE ALL MINE von MITSKI · 20:45 – RIBBON von THE WEATHER STATION · 20:39 – MIRROR von THE WEATHER STATION · 20:33 – CLOSER von NINE INCH NAILS · 20:28 – ELECTROLITE von R.E.M. · 20:24 – TIME WAITED von MY MORNING JACKET · 20:21 – GET BY von KATE TEAGUE · 20:16 – NEON SIGNS von THE WEATHER STATION · 20:13 – ANKLES von LUCY DACUS · 20:09 – LA CHICA-CÁ von JOALIN · 20:04 – SUNLIT AFTERNOONS von HOLM

Texas State Representative Erin Zwiener of Driftwood, one of the youngest members of the Legislature, has a resume full of fun facts: prior to her political life, she was a contestant on Jeopardy! four times, winning over $53,000. She later got involved with the Indivisible movement after the 2016 Trump win, challenged Republican Rep. Jason Isaac for his seat while she was pregnant, won that year's Democratic primary by less than 200 votes, gave birth during the campaign and eventually beat Isaac with 51% of the vote - she's served in the House ever since.

Our story tonight is called Lightning Glass, and it's a story about a long beach walk spent looking for something magical after a storm has passed. It's also about geese flying south for the winter, driftwood, and sandbars, bracing cold water lapping at the shore, and excitement of discovery. We give to a different charity each week, and this week, we are giving to Hope in a Suitcase; their mission is to provide children and teens in foster care with a suitcase/duffel bag, along with basic essentials and comfort items, to make their transition and circumstances just a little easier.
