The spotlight remains firmly on Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson — A Little Life, Kiss Me First) and Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha — Halo, Bad Behaviour) as their fairy tale romance reaches a major turning point. After weeks of longing and uncertainty, Benedict finally confesses his love and begs Sophie to accept a future with him, leading to one of the season's most anticipated romantic payoffs. However, Sophie's fears about her social standing, her uncertain future, and the disapproval of society continue to threaten their happiness. The following episode deepens the conflict as Sophie overhears a painful family argument and is forced to reconsider whether their relationship can survive the realities of the world around them. Meanwhile, Nicola Coughlan (Derry Girls, Barbie) shines as Penelope Bridgerton / Lady Whistledown, who grapples with the responsibility and influence of her famous gossip column. As Penelope wrestles with whether Whistledown should continue, she finds herself once again at odds with Queen Charlotte (Golda Rosheuvel — Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, Luther), while also attempting to wield her power more responsibly. Elsewhere, Claudia Jessie (Vanity Fair, Line of Duty) as Eloise Bridgerton is reluctantly pushed back toward society's expectations, while Florence Hunt (Cursed, Bridgerton) as Hyacinth Bridgerton enjoys her own memorable social debut. The episodes also deliver major developments for Francesca Bridgerton (Hannah Dodd — Enola Holmes 2, Flowers in the Attic: The Origin), whose growing friendship with Michaela Stirling (Masali Baduza — Noughts + Crosses, The Woman King) continues to evolve. What begins as a hopeful chapter takes a devastating turn in the closing moments, delivering one of the most shocking and heartbreaking events of the season and setting the stage for an entirely new future. Filled with romance, scandal, emotional confessions, and life-changing revelations, these episodes represent some of the most pivotal chapters of Bridgerton Season 4 so far.

Adrian Wooldridge concludes by recommending a "remoralization" of meritocracy, where those with talent view their abilities as a public duty rather than just a source of personal reward. He warns against abandoning objective testing (like the SAT), arguing that lotteries or subjective admissions are more "gameable" by the privileged. Finally, he stresses that the West must purify its meritocratic systems to compete with China's "examination state," which has successfully linked its ancient testing traditions with modern science and technology. Without internal reform, the current meritocracy remains vulnerable to global competition. 81825

We continue our look at actors who played multiple gumshoes on the air with Gerald Mohr - who, for my money, gave us the definitive portrayal of Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe. But Mr. Mohr wasn't only Mr. Marlowe on the air. He also put in a four-episode stint as Archie Goodwin to Sydney Greenstreet's Nero Wolfe. We'll hear Mohr as Marlowe in three radio mysteries: "The Hard Way Out" (originally aired on CBS on November 28, 1948); "The Feminine Touch" (originally aired on CBS on May 7, 1949); and "The Dark Tunnel" (originally aired on CBS on August 18, 1950). Then he's Archie Goodwin in "The Case of the Phantom Fingers" (originally aired on NBC on January 26, 1951). Finally, we'll hear his audition as "the man with the action-packed expense account" - Johnny Dollar.

Story of the Week (DR):Big Media Dictatorship Craziness MMJustice Department Decision to Allow Paramount Deal Surprised Staff Investigators and US approval of Paramount/Warner Bros. deal surprised DOJ lawyers and The UFC's Despicable Night at the White House Senior Justice Department officials suddenly closed an eight-month antitrust investigation and approved Paramount's $111 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, shocking career staff attorneys who were preparing to recommend a lawsuit to block it.DOJ investigators worried the combined company's massive debt would prevent it from honoring its promise to release 30 movies annually. However, senior leadership dismissed the debt concerns, arguing the merger would beneficially create a stronger rival to streaming giants like Netflix.The unexpected approval has drawn intense criticism from lawmakers, notably Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who suggested the green light from the administration was politically motivated and stated the decision "reeks of corruption."The deal also faces regulatory hurdles at the FCC; despite Chairman Brendan Carr's support, the merger requires a special FCC waiver due to significant equity stakes held by sovereign wealth funds in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar.While the federal government has stepped aside, the mega-merger still faces strict, ongoing antitrust scrutiny from the European Union and potential lawsuits from several state Attorneys General (including California) who insist the merger is not a done deal.Comcast Class A Shareholders Reject $107M Co-CEO Pay as Stock Slid 20%Brian Roberts 34% of vote42% no on pay with Roberts: 80% no without David Zaslav 2025 Pay Rejected By WBD Shareholders In Non-Binding Vote84% no for his $165MNo major shareholder: On the verge of being acquired by the EllisonsFox Corp to acquire Roku in $22B dealFox increased CEO/Chair Lachlan K.

The airline determined that the consumption occurred the day before departure and represented a breach of internal policy, escalating the matter from a single failed test to a wider compliance violation within the crew pairing on that layover."We sincerely apologize for the incident involving flight JL252 on May 23, which has severely damaged the trust placed in us. We take this seriously, recognizing it stems from structural weaknesses in our organizational monitoring. Moving forward, we are fully committed to ensuring safety and restoring trust by strengthening our inspection procedures and implementing company-wide reforms."Japan Airlines responded by implementing disciplinary measures affecting both frontline staff and senior management.CEO Mitsuko Tottori, the first female to lead the company after joining as a flight attendant herself in 1985, accepted a 30% reduction in salary for two months, while other executives also received temporary pay cuts as part of the company's internal accountability process.Safety manager Yukio Nakagawa and cabin services manager Junko Nakano will each take a 20% salary reduction for one month.Meanwhile, all other directors will receive a 10% pay cut over the same period.Alongside executive action, the airline introduced a stricter policy banning alcohol consumption during layovers for more than 6,000 flight attendants.

In this interview with Dr. James Renihan, we discuss Article 44 of the First London Baptist Confession of Faith.

Tony revisits Ji, a visually striking sci‑fi romance short that imagines a future where humanity has fractured across worlds. After centuries of pollution, war, and collapse, Earth is left in ruins. The East escapes to build a pristine off‑world colony called Nilo, while the West seals itself behind fortified walls. From this divide emerges Ji, a disciplined Nilo general played by Lewis Tan. Rumors swirl on Nilo that life still exists on Earth — a claim their government denies. Ji risks everything to descend to the planet of his ancestors, only to discover Tiffany, a resilient Earth survivor portrayed by Eva De Dominici. Their connection forces Ji into a choice that could reshape both worlds. Tony chatted with Ben Griffin to explore the film's emotional core, its world‑building, and the timeless tension between duty and love. SAVE 17% ON PLUS

OpenAI is facing pressure from every direction. In this episode of Hashtag Trending, host Jim Love examines reports that OpenAI may have lost as much as $38 billion in 2025, even as the company is reportedly considering aggressive pricing strategies while competitors such as Anthropic raise prices and tighten usage limits. The company is also now the target of a coordinated investigation by 42 U.S. state attorneys general following concerns over ChatGPT's "sycophancy" behaviour — a controversial tendency for AI systems to reinforce user beliefs rather than challenge potentially harmful thinking. And in a new lawsuit, a New Brunswick mother is suing OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman, alleging that ChatGPT reinforced her daughter's harmful thoughts and contributed to her emotional dependency on the chatbot. The case joins a growing list of lawsuits that could help define whether AI companies have a legal duty of care when users rely on their systems for advice, companionship and support. This episode explores three critical questions: • Can the economics of generative AI ever become sustainable? • Is this the beginning of a major regulatory crackdown on AI and social media? • What responsibilities do AI companies have when people depend on their systems during vulnerable moments?

WHEN THE RADIO WENT SILENT: A Life on the Road Between Duty and Home by JAMES S. Wynecoop https://www.amazon.com/WHEN-RADIO-WENT-SILENT-Between/dp/1291853561 When the radio went silent, the job doesn’t become quieter. It becomes personal. Every badge covers a human heart that holds memories no one dise can see. Calls that end in nightmares Faces of victims that haunt your sleep, Critical decisions that weigh on your conscience long after your shift is over. In small towns, those victims could be your neighbors. Your friends. Family. And knowing that fact never really gets oasion. When the Radio went Silent is not about heroism. It is about survival, Surviving the weight of life and death decisions that you carry home with you each day. Learning to embrace silence as both a blessing and a punishment. Realizing the invisible price of public service on cops, their families, and their communities. And finding quiet desperation in the momarits when you need help the most. In raw, compassionate, and hard-learned detail, When the Radio went Silent tells you what it’s really like to wear the badge. Not only for police and first responders, but for anyone who’s ever shouldered great responsibility. buried a heavy secret, or struggled to find purpose after everything went quiet. Because when the radio went silent, your job is often just beginning. About the author Biography — James S. Wynecoop James S. Wynecoop began his public safety career in 1975 at the age of nineteen, becoming one of the youngest Tribal Police Officers on the Spokane Reservation. Those early years laid the foundation for a lifetime of service rooted in community, responsibility, and cultural heritage. In 1985, Wynecoop traveled north to Alaska's North Slope, where he served as a Security Officer, Firefighter, and EMT in one of the most remote environments in the United States. Building on his experience, he founded Argus Security, a company that grew rapidly under his leadership—employing more than 500 security officers before being acquired in 1989. Returning to law enforcement in 1990, Wynecoop accepted the position of Police Captain for the community of La Push, Washington. He later continued his federal service as a Police Officer with the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs, serving the North Idaho District and the Nez Perce Reservation until the position was eliminated by a reduction in force. In 1999, Wynecoop joined the Kalispel Tribe of Indians to establish security operations for the Tribe's new casino. His leadership and vision propelled him into broader responsibility, and he was soon promoted to Executive Director of Public Safety. In this role, he oversaw the Police Department, Fire Department, and Emergency Medical Services, helping guide the growth of the Tribal community's modern public safety system. After more than four decades in policing, security, fire, and emergency services, James S. Wynecoop retired in 2022—leaving behind a legacy of leadership, service, and commitment to Tribal communities across the Northwest and Alaska.

What Happens When Leadership Doesn't Meet the Environment? This is one of the most important episodes we've ever recorded on The Kokoda Track Podcast. After receiving numerous messages from listeners, trekkers and trek leaders regarding a recent review posted online, Glenn takes a deep dive into the lessons that can be learned when a Kokoda experience doesn't meet expectations. This episode is not about naming companies, assigning blame or creating controversy. Instead, it's about examining the role leadership plays in shaping every aspect of a Kokoda trek and why leadership is often the difference between a difficult experience and a rewarding one. Drawing on over 100 Kokoda crossings, 25+ years leading expeditions around the world and 17 years in the Australian Army, Glenn explores the critical importance of communication, decision-making, duty of care, risk management and emotional control in remote environments. Whether you're planning your first Kokoda trek, preparing to become a trek leader, or simply interested in leadership under pressure, this episode provides valuable insights into what trekkers should look for, what operators should strive for and how we can all contribute to a stronger and more sustainable future for Kokoda. In This Episode Why Glenn decided to tackle a controversial topic The review that sparked the discussion Leadership versus experience Why communication matters more than most people realise Duty of care in remote environments Managing uncertainty and expectations on the track The concept of being "the calm in the chaos" Why feedback should be welcomed, not feared Lessons every operator can learn from difficult experiences Questions every trekker should ask before booking Kokoda How leadership training impacts safety, culture and overall experience Raising standards across the Kokoda trekking industry Key Message Every challenge on Kokoda gets amplified by poor leadership and minimised by good leadership. Bullet Point Takeaways Kokoda is unpredictable. Strong leadership is what helps people navigate that unpredictability. Weather, injuries, delays and difficult conditions are inevitable on Kokoda. How leaders respond to them matters most. Communication is one of the most important leadership skills on the track. Trekkers don't need perfect conditions, but they do need clear, honest and consistent information. Good leaders don't avoid difficult conversations; they lean into them. Feedback should be viewed as an opportunity to learn and improve, not as a personal attack. Leadership is not about titles; it's about responsibility, decision-making and accountability. Experience alone does not create great leaders. Training, mentorship and development do. Kokoda exposes weaknesses. Any gaps in communication, planning or leadership will quickly become apparent in the jungle. Emotional control is a critical leadership skill. The ability to remain calm under pressure creates confidence in those around you. Duty of care should always be a priority when managing people in remote environments. Leaders must be prepared to make difficult decisions when safety and wellbeing are at stake. Every operator should have systems, processes and contingency plans in place before things go wrong. Trekkers have every right to ask detailed questions before committing to a company. The quality of leadership can have a significant impact on the overall Kokoda experience. A sustainable future for Kokoda relies on operators continually learning, improving and raising standards. The focus should always remain on the history, the local people, the trekkers and the future of the track—not individual personalities or egos. Questions to Ask Before Booking Your Trek Who will be leading my trek? Will there be a second-in-command? What experience and training do they have? How are medical emergencies managed? What happens if someone requires evacuation? How are dietary requirements handled? What food is supplied during the trek? What support is provided to local PNG carriers? What happens if someone struggles physically on the track? Do you provide a structured training plan before departure? How do you handle feedback and complaints? Quote of the Episode "Kokoda doesn't expose your strengths. Kokoda exposes your weaknesses. And nowhere is that more evident than in leadership." Final Thought The goal is not perfection. The goal is continuous improvement. If we genuinely care about Kokoda, its history, its people and its future, then we must be willing to listen, learn and keep raising the standard for everyone who walks the track.

In this episode, Dan and Stephanie sit down with Dr. Jake Porter for a thoughtful and honest conversation about one of the most debated — and often weaponized — passages in Christian marriage discussions: 1 Corinthians 7.What did Paul actually mean when he wrote about marital intimacy? How has this passage been misused to justify pressure, coercion, and “duty sex” within Christian relationships? And what happens when mutuality, context, and the heart of the Gospel are stripped away from the conversation?Together, they unpack the historical and relational context of Paul's words, explore the difference between covenant and control, and discuss how Scripture can be applied in ways that either foster safety and connection or deepen shame and harm.This episode is not about dismissing Scripture. It is about reading it carefully, relationally, and in the spirit it was intended.Topics include:Weaponized Scripture in marriage“Duty sex” and coercive interpretationsMutuality and consent in 1 Corinthians 7What Dr. Stephanie has heard in her NeuroDiverse Couples' WorkIs there such a thing as the sin of withholding?What Paul was addressing in the Corinthian churchHow pastors and couples can approach these conversations with wisdom and careA nuanced conversation about theology, relationships, and the difference between biblical intimacy and spiritual pressure. About Dr. Jake Porter:https://www.daringventures.com/Scripturally, Pastorally & Clinically Trained:EducationB.A., Elmira College, triple majors in Psychology, Music, Philosophy & ReligionM.Div., Southwestern Baptist Theological SeminaryTh.M. in Spirituality & Ethics, The Southern Baptist Theological SeminaryM.Ed. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, Lamar UniversityEd.D., The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.

This powerful exploration of Psalm 63 challenges us to examine the difference between knowing about God and truly longing for Him. Written by King David during a wilderness season in the desert of Judah, this psalm reveals something profound: intimacy with God is cultivated through desire, not duty. David's words are deeply personal and almost desperate as he declares his thirst for God in a dry and parched land. We're reminded that while many of us can recite theological truths and perform religious activities, God desires something far deeper—our hearts. The psalm takes us on a journey from thirst to remembrance, from worship to satisfaction, and finally to dependence and trust. What makes this especially compelling is that David's circumstances never change throughout the psalm—he's still in the wilderness—but something inside him shifts. The presence of God becomes more satisfying than the absence of water. This teaches us that closeness to God doesn't necessarily remove difficulty from our lives, but it produces something deeper: contentment in God Himself. We're challenged to move beyond spiritual autopilot and ask ourselves honestly: Do we want God, or do we just want what God can do for us? The answer to that question might reveal whether we're living in duty or desire.

The Trump administration is already trying to bring talent from industry into the government via its U.S. Tech Force program, but the next step could be putting federal workers on exchanges to companies, according to remarks from an Office of Personnel Management official Thursday. During a panel at a federal technology-focused conference, Kevin Hennecken, senior advisor to the director at OPM and leader of the Trump administration's Tech Force hiring effort, mentioned the agency's interest in such a program as a way of helping train federal workers. Something OPM has been focused on is “creating more pathways for people to sort of experiment going to the private sector for periods of time and coming back,” Hennecken said. “I think that can also be quite helpful, just to expose them to some different ways of getting things done.” Such efforts would add another layer to the Trump administration's current Tech Force program, which is focused on filling the government's hiring needs with early career workers. Those workers, who have just started onboarding, will serve two-year stints before it's up to them whether to stay in government or go to industry. A small number of management-level professionals will also temporarily join the federal workforce from the private sector as part of the program. A National Institutes of Health contracting arm responsible for a series of large-scale IT contracting vehicles is ending all of its cross-government contracts and ceasing all functions by the end of 2028, according to a notice from the agency. All of the governmentwide acquisition vehicles (GWACs) under the NIH Information Technology Acquisition and Assessment Center (NITAAC) will expire Oct. 29, which is also the last day to award new orders, the Tuesday announcement stated. That includes the office's ongoing iterations of its Chief Information Officer-Solutions and Partners contracts. The functions will be moved to the General Services Administration. The announcement comes after the Trump administration's push to consolidate procurement led to a decision earlier this year to cancel NITAAC's long-running and embattled next iteration of its governmentwide IT vehicle, known as CIO-SP4. That contract would have been worth roughly $50 billion, but faced numerous legal challenges and was delayed time and time again before it was ultimately scrapped.

Watch the Devotion Based on Numbers 27:15-23 Relieved of Duty, Not Relieved of Grace “Because of your insubordination I am relieving you of command.”   Those are words that no one wants to hear, and yet these are the very words the Lord spoke to his servant leader Moses. Moses had led the nation of Israel out of Egypt, through the wilderness for 40 years and was about to lead the people into the Promised Land. But God stopped him short. The reason? “You disobeyed my command to honor me as holy before their eyes” (Numbers 27:14).   God led Moses to the top of a mountain so he could see the Promised Land and then he died and God buried him.    I'm certain you know someone who has been relieved of duty, lost command, demoted, received a reduction in rank because of a violation of policy, poor performance, or loss of confidence in their ability to lead. Maybe that's you. And like Moses, there are reminders of that failure always before you. How does that make you feel? Worthless? Full of regret? Full of guilt? You are not alone.       Before Moses died, the LORD commanded him to lay his hands on his successor and commission him to lead. And he led well. His name? Joshua. In the Hebrew Yeshua. In the Greek language Jesus: a name that means – the one who saves. Yes, God provided another leader to shepherd his people – a picture of what the perfect Good Shepherd would one day do for Moses. God's imperfect servant leader could cling to the promise of the perfect servant leader and know his sins were forgiven. Moses could die in peace knowing his God had made all things right.       Whatever it is you failed to do in your job, whatever consequences you suffered for it, believe this: Jesus was and is the perfect leader, and the perfect subordinate, the perfect servant of all, the perfect shepherd for all, and that includes you and me.   As shepherd he looks at people like you and me, and doesn't shake his head, groan and say, “Not again!” Instead, he looks on you and me with compassion. His heart goes out to us, because he sees people, sinners, sheep who need a shepherd, and he comes to you and to me and offers his holy, perfect, selfless, sacrificial life and says, “Here, this is yours. You are righteous in my sight.”   Whatever God has called you to do right now, go and do it. Go with confidence. Believe that your sin is covered by Jesus. Go with confidence knowing that Jesus goes before you as a shepherd leads his sheep.   Prayer: This weekend as the US Army celebrates its 251st birthday we pause to thank you for this branch of our armed forces that has stood ready to protect our nation and its people and defend its values. Raise up more men and women willing to serve with loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity and personal courage. Through the sacrifice of our US Army may we continue to enjoy and practice the freedoms of this great country. In your name, Lord Jesus, I pray it. Amen.        Written and recorded by Rev.

Should Men Still Get Married? Feminism and Red-Pill Bitterness Are Destroying the Family Why are so many young men asking, "Why should I get married?" After decades of feminism attacking marriage as oppression, a growing number of men are now embracing the opposite error. The manosphere, MGTOW movement, and red-pill influencers often preach a message of fear, bitterness, and withdrawal from marriage. Different rhetoric. Same result. In this episode, Pastor Joseph Spurgeon and Zach Krugler tackle one of the biggest questions facing Christian men today: Is marriage still worth it? They examine feminist attacks on marriage, critique the growing anti-marriage sentiment in the manosphere, break down surprising statistics about marriage, and show why God's design for marriage remains essential for faithful Christian men. Drawing from Scripture, church history, and practical experience, they make the case that marriage is not a trap to avoid but a calling to embrace.

What do you get when a stray dog becomes a hero, a police department gains its most compassionate officer, and an entire nation falls in love on live television? You get Sgt. Bo and one of the most heart-warming episodes of Working Like Dogs we've ever recorded. Host Marcie Davis sat down with Faye Okert, the devoted handler behind this four-legged phenomenon, and Robin Ganzert, President and CEO of American Humane Society to share the breathtaking journey of a dog who went from wandering the streets of Nashville to comforting children in the aftermath of tragedy — and ultimately winning the 2025 American Humane Hero Dog Award. Robin pulls back the curtain on the Hero Dog Awards and shares the most urgent issues American Humane is fighting for right now on behalf of animals everywhere. And Sgt. Bo's story is living proof that the dogs who need saving the most are often the ones who end up saving us. Faye and Robin remind us why dogs aren't just our best friends — they're our healers, our heroes, and sometimes, our greatest teachers.

For June, we're spotlighting stars who played multiple detectives on the air and our first leading man is Tom Conway. In 1946, he took over the deerstalker cap from Basil Rathbone on The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and in 1951, he donned Simon Templar's halo as Vincent Price's replacement on The Saint. We'll hear Conway as Holmes - with Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson - in "The Darlington Substitution" (originally aired on ABC on January 4, 1947) and "The Adventure of the Scarlet Worm" (originally aired on ABC on March 24, 1947). Then, he's the Saint in "The Children's Crusade" (originally aired on NBC on May 27, 1951) and "No, My Darling Daughter" (originally aired on NBC on July 15, 1951).

The Kingdom of God is not a heavy obligation to carry. It is a treasure worth giving everything to possess. In Matthew 13, Jesus compares the Kingdom to a hidden treasure in a field and a pearl of great value. In both stories, the response is the same: joyful surrender. The people who discovered the treasure did not focus on what they were giving up. They focused on what they had found. Yet many of us approach our faith differently. We see Christianity as a spiritual to-do list, a set of obligations, or a series of sacrifices that drain us rather than delight us. This message confronts that mindset by asking a simple question: Have we truly recognized the value of the King and His Kingdom? Drawing from the modern treasure hunt of Forrest Fenn and the words of Paul in Philippians 3, we are reminded that when something is genuinely valuable, sacrifice stops feeling like sacrifice. It becomes a privilege. Duty drains you. Delight drives you. When we see Jesus for who He is, surrender is no longer a burden. It becomes the greatest exchange we could ever make.

Eric Bancroft (1 John 3:22-23)

When we receive the backlash that can come from speaking up about our faith, it's easy to think, "Next time, I'll stay quiet." But that's not the choice God calls us to make. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses what to expect when we obey the Lord. He shares about the life of leaders like Moses, Peter, and John the Baptist to illustrate how perseverance through persecution is where we find spiritual growth and deeper faith. The Bible clearly tells us that, even though it's not easy to follow Jesus, the only way we can change ourselves, our communities, and our broken culture is to humble ourselves and walk with the Lord.

IT'S FREEDOM FAMILY FRIDAY This week's Freedom Family Friday covers six stories that the mainstream media either buried, botched, or refused to ask the second question on.

This month on Laura Flanders and Friends, we're revisiting conversations around solidarity, kinship and what it means to be human. This week we explore 'The Fantasy and Necessity of Solidarity', with author and activist Sarah Schulman, who shares what she's learned from AIDS activism to Palestine. Description: What is “solidarity” and what does it require? Giving up on perfection, for one thing, says Sarah Schulman, author of “Conflict is Not Abuse,” and so much more. Award-winning writer, teacher, playwright and activist, Schulman's latest book is “The Fantasy and Necessity of Solidarity”, in which she reflects on years of experiments and learning, from the 1980s to today. In this episode, find out what role GRITtv, an earlier iteration of Flanders' show, played in the movement for Palestinian liberation, and hear a discussion of the Harlem artist Alice Neel. Schulman sits on the advisory board of Jewish Voice for Peace. Her non-fiction books include “Conflict is Not Abuse: Overstating Harm, Community Responsibility, and the Duty of Repair” and “Let the Record Show: A Political History of ACT UP New York, 1987-1993”. Also in this episode, a commentary from Laura on the assassination of Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman, a strategic progressive who practiced solidarity. “When I confronted the Israeli occupation of Palestine, something resonated for me emotionally between that and the AIDS experience. What I felt was similar was that people who were endangered were being falsely depicted as dangerous.” - Sarah Schulman “Right now we're in the middle of a cataclysm of fascism and there's no quick fix. And we have to understand that the idea that you can go in and just fix it is a supremacy concept.” - Sarah Schulman Guests:  Sarah Schulman, Writer & AIDS Historian; Author, The Fantasy and Necessity of Solidarity   This show is made possible by you!

Relativity is a Sponsor of Litigation Radio. On this episode, we will hear from Cristin Traylor, Senior Director of AI transformation & law firm strategy at Relativity. The selection of Relativity as the subject of this interview should not be construed as an endorsement by the American Bar Association of Relativity and its services. Generative AI technology is transforming the world of legal e-discovery from start to finish, and it's advancing by the day. Guest Cristin Traylor is an attorney and the senior director of AI transformation & law firm strategy at Relativity, a leading legal data intelligence company.  Where is AI taking the legal world, and how is it changing the way legal teams sift, manage, and use the electronic data delivered during discovery? Forget boxes of legal paperwork and records. Today, AI can organize and analyze terabytes of digital information. But understanding the technology and its pitfalls—and knowing how to train an AI model—is vital to getting results that matter to uncover the story told by the data. The use of AI in the electronic discovery process and the ability to dig into digital data dumps is not something any firm can afford to put off. This is today's legal environment and the future of discovery. What are you missing? What might opposing counsel understand that you don't? If you don't employ an AI tool, should you? If you have access to AI tools, do you know how to manage them, “train” them, and write effective prompts? You most likely didn't learn this in law school. You probably don't know what you don't know. Traylor offers a fascinating glimpse into the present and future of legal generative AI technology. You probably don't know what you don't know.
