Erin Brockovich (2000) (directed by Steven Soderbergh) is based on the true story of Erin Brockovich, a legal assistant without formal training, who uncovers one of the most significant environmental lawsuits in U.S. history: the case against Pacific Gas and Electric for contaminating groundwater in Hinkley, California. The film, which features an Oscar-winning performance by Julia Roberts in the title role, explores the role of lawsuits in exposing truth and gaining compensation for victims, the gendered dynamics of legal advocacy, and the challenges of taking on entrenched power structures in society.Timestamps:0:00     Introduction1:59       Who is Erin Brockovich?3:11       Obstacles to holding corporations accountable5:49      How Erin Brockovich overcomes those obstacles8:10      Imbalance of power and resources14:40    Hinkley, California18:00    Accessing records21:16     Tort reform, punitive damages, and proportionality27:10     States and environmental regulation32:22    Causation and attribution science37:30    Whistleblowers              41:17      Finding the “smoking gun”42:53    The practice of law and parentingFurther reading:Banks, Sedina “The ‘Erin Brockovich Effect': How Media Shapes Toxics Policy,” 26 Environs Env't L.

Happy Pride, lil onions! Raise your hand if you've ever been bullied because you can't dance. Now raise the other hand if it was at the hands of your own cult. That's right, the siblings are finally talking about Cats (1998). Carie and Ross break down the absolute fever dream that is Andrew Lloyd Webber's reimagining of T.S. Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats. Carie ragebaits Ross by bringing up the disastrous Tom Hooper adaptation. Ross puzzles over the real reason why Grizabella is ostracized from the kitty cat cult. And the siblings reflect on the message of the musical concerning mortality, regret, and grief over what life was like in youth.  SUPPORT US ON PATREON!

Building a great kids martial arts program requires more than one talented instructor. It requires systems, structure, and a deep bench of coaches who are prepared to deliver a consistent experience every day. In this episode of the Black Belt Business Podcast, Eliot Marshall sits down with Easton Kids Program Director Jordan Shipman to break down why coach-to-student ratios matter, how a lack of bench strength impacts retention, and why many schools mistakenly blame outside factors for declining programs instead of addressing internal problems. Eliot and Jordan also dive into Easton's process for recruiting, onboarding, and developing kids coaches, including the systems, training courses, and standards that help maintain consistency across multiple academies. They discuss the importance of always staying ahead of growth, creating a pipeline of future instructors, and ensuring every coach understands class structure, training philosophy, safety protocols, and student development. Whether you're struggling to find instructors, looking to improve your kids program, or trying to scale your academy without sacrificing quality, this episode provides a practical blueprint for building a stronger team and a better student experience.

With Eric on vacation, Eliot welcomes Kenneth Pollack, VP for Policy at the Middle East Institute, to the show. Ken outlines MEI's mission before providing analysis on the current state of the Iran war. They discuss the difficulty of ending a conflict when both sides believe they are winning, and whether we are on the cusp of significant concessions or escalation. They explore whether the war was a good idea badly executed or a bad idea badly executed. The pair also speculate about what a successfully prosecuted war effort would have looked like before turning to the likely trajectory of the Iranian regime in the future. Ken explains the broader implications of the war for the Gulf States, Israel, China, Russia, and Turkey before closing with a conversation about why the United States cares about the region and why it presents such an enduring challenge.Shield of the Republic is a Bulwark podcast co-sponsored by the Miller Center of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia.

When I was a child, the entirety of human knowledge was contained on the bottom shelf of my parents' bookcase, in alphabetical order. It was basically the internet printed out, bound in 26 volumes, and called The Encyclopedia Britannica. The problem was, you could familiarize yourself with most of it and still not know what it was like to have a girlfriend. Not that I'm speaking from experience; I'm just saying there's more to know than knowledge. I'm meditating on T.S. Eliot's “Choruses from ‘The Rock'” this week, thinking about how much truer this is in the so-called “Information Age” than it was a century ago. The endless cycle of idea and action,Endless invention, endless experiment,Brings knowledge of motion, but not of stillness;Knowledge of speech, but not of silence;Knowledge of words, and ignorance of the Word.All our knowledge brings us nearer to our ignorance,All our ignorance brings us nearer to death,But nearness to death no nearer to GOD.Where is the Life we have lost in living?Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?The cycles of Heaven in twenty centuriesBring us farther from GOD and nearer to the Dust.Psalm 111, like the Britannica, is presented as an acrostic: the A-Z, (or, if you like, Alpha to Omega) of Wisdom. Yet it presents a very different vision of understanding than mere trivia recall, avoiding all the fascinating details and diving instead to the whole heart of the matter. Knowledge can be downloaded, transferred, quantified. Wisdom is not like that. Wisdom is relational, contextual, and fruit-bearing. Knowledge measures matter, but wisdom measures meaning. What does it all mean? Let's explore it together this Sunday.

In our latest Session, Juliet talks to William Raban about his five decades in film, and especially his engagement with London, from his time in the London Film-Makers' Co-operative in the early 1970s to his most recent work in 2020. They discussed William's origins in the Structural and Materialist movement of the Seventies, and his use of different film formats from 8mm to digital; how he made his feature-length Thames Film (1986), narrated by John Hurt and shown on Channel 4; his A13 (1994) and Island Race (1996), made partly in response to the election of a British National Party councillor on the Isle of Dogs in east London; how authors such as Charles Dickens and T. S. Eliot have come into his work; and the difficulty of making films in the wake of the atrocities in Gaza and elsewhere.

When a Senate campaign gets hit with a sexting scandal, the spouse is supposed to disappear. Amy Gertner grabbed her phone, walked into a cloud of Maine blackflies, and recorded the most effective crisis response of the cycle.Everyone is covering the Wall Street Journal texts. Molly is covering the betrayal underneath them, and the moment a candidate who built his brand on owning his record reached for the worst page in the 2026 crisis playbook.Chapters:0:00 — The Reddit Bomb That Finally Detonated on Platner4:30 — How Amy Gertner's Confession Reached Genevieve McDonald8:30 — Linda Tripp, Monica Lewinsky and the Betrayal Pattern13:04 — Amy Gertner's Blackfly Video Goes Viral on X18:01 — Why Amy Nailed the Platner Playbook Solo20:00 — The NPR Interview Showing What Accountability Looks Like22:29 — The Vrabel Playbook Platner Borrowed By Mistake27:30 — Barney Frank, Janet Mills and the Democratic Party Distance30:00 — Silda Spitzer Versus the Amy Gertner Standing-By Model33:00 — The High Road Takeaway and Why Platner Is LimpingWe dissect:• Why Reddit was supposed to be Graham Platner's kryptonite, and the one trait that kept disarming every landmine until this one• The Bernie Sanders rally moment when Amy disclosed the texts to political director Genevieve McDonald, the inciting incident the WSJ buried• The Linda Tripp parallel and why the public judges the telling of a scandal as harshly as the act itself• "This is like my 20th take" — the unedited blackfly video Amy posted from a road in Sullivan, Maine, and why the imperfection is the point• The NPR interview that aired right before the WSJ broke, where Platner answered directly on the SS-resembling tattoo and Jake Auchincloss calling him disqualifying• The exact moment Platner called the texts "gossip," blamed the press, and reached for the Mike Vrabel playbook — the worst page in any 2026 crisis manual• Barney Frank criticizing Platner from hospice in Ogunquit, Janet Mills as the party's preferred candidate, and what "same technique, opposite loyalty" actually looks like• Silda Spitzer standing reluctantly behind Eliot versus Amy Gertner standing forward for Graham, with Amy Vrabel's conspicuous absence as the counter-exampleThis is not a recap of the WSJ story.

In this episode, Anderson attorneys Amanda Wynalda, Esq., and Eliot Thomas, Esq., tackle eight listener questions on a wide range of tax topics. They open with a deep dive into the tax advantages of purchasing property in an Opportunity Zone, covering both the original program and the newly reinvigorated Opportunity Zone 2.0 launching January 1, 2027, including deferral periods, stepped-up basis benefits, and rural vs. urban pathways. They also explain required minimum distributions and the five-year Roth seasoning rules, the nuances of married filing separately in community property states, and strategies for reducing passive capital gains tax after a multifamily syndication sale. Amanda and Eliot break down Qualified Small Business Stock under Section 1202, including new tiered exclusion rates and documentation requirements, walk through K-1 preparation and 1065 filing for limited and general partnership structures, and cover the Accumulated Earnings Tax for C corporations. The episode wraps with guidance on claiming education expenses for new businesses, amending prior-year returns, and using C corporations as the right vehicle for startup cost deductions. Tune in for expert advice on these topics and more! Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.com Highlights/Topics: [00:00] — Intro and questions [10:04] "If I'm still working for the company that sponsors my 401k when I turn 73, even if it's part time, do I need to take RMDs or required minimum distributions from that account? And once my Roth 401k is quote unquote seasoned for 5 years, if I roll it over to another Roth IRA account I have already had for 5 years, am I still able to take out the profits tax free?" - Still employed means no RMD required unless you own over 5% of the business. [13:42] "I am looking at a couple different commercial rental properties. One of them is in an opportunity zone in Florida. What are the benefits slash tax advantages of purchasing a property in an opportunity zone? Are there any downsides?" –Opportunity Zones defer capital gains tax with stepped-up basis and potential ten-year appreciation exclusion. [22:08] "My husband and I file separately. I itemize and my accountant said because I itemize, my husband must also itemize, which is worse for him as he loses out on the standard deduction. Is there any way around this? In addition, the IRS wants to know my salary on his return, which then leads to him owing tons of additional taxes. How can this be? Why would he be taxed on my income? I'm already being taxed on my income. So this year he left my salary blank on his tax return. Will this come back to bite him and incur fees? We file separately for many reasons, including me having rentals and he has child support and other things affecting his return." - Community property states require spouses to split income; no double taxation occurs. [30:32] "I was a passive investor in a multifamily unit deal. The property was sold and my CPA informed me that I have capital gains tax of 55,000 for 2025. Anything I can do to reduce this tax? If not, what could I have done differently?" - Cost segregation on existing property can create passive losses to offset the gain. [36:57] "I'm investing 250k in a software startup pre Series A. The founders say it qualifies under section 1202 as a qualified small business stock or QSBS. Let's say the stock grows 10x over the next 10 years, so my stock becomes worth 2.5 million. Ten years from now, how do I prove to the IRS that the profit should be tax free under section 1202? Do I just document it now and hope they agree when I file an 8949 when I sell? It seems like there are no assurances they'll agree and the profits, though not subject to income tax, still become part of my estate, potentially subject to estate tax. Is it just easier investing using my Roth to ensure that all future gains will be income tax free?" – Thorough documentation of C corp status and assets under $75 million proves 1202 eligibility. [48:20] "Anderson created my limited partnership and general partnership structure. My questions are which entity has to create or issue a K1 and who prepares it for me? And when preparing the 1065 tax return, who do I list as the limited partner, me or the entity?" - The limited partnership files the 1065 and issues K-1s; list yourself as the limited partner. [50:16] "I invested in education for several businesses last year. None have come to fruition yet. Is the education able to be claimed on 2025 taxes? Also I filed without any of the education being claimed. So I was wondering if I could amend my taxes at some point this year." - Amend within three years; a C corp can claim education costs as deductible startup expenses.

Did you know there's a man saving the secret ingredient in Japan's 700-year-old original soy sauce recipe? Or that the world's rarest pasta is made in Italy, and only a few women alive still know the recipe? Or that in India, a family makes a mysterious metal mirror believed to reveal your truest self? These are disappearing secrets, the magical element of culture being precariously preserved by the few for the many. Join us for a live chat with author Eliot Stein, who traveled the globe in search of remarkable people who are preserving some of our most extraordinary cultural rites. From shadowing Scandinavia's last night watchman to meeting a 27th-generation West African griot to tracking down Cuba's last official cigar factory “readers” more than a century after they spearheaded the fight for Cuban independence, Stein uncovers an almost lost world. From Inca bridge masters to those who still speak to bees, CUSTODIANS OF WONDER is a treasure trove of peculiar and heart-warming traditions—and those preserving them from brink of disappearance.Episode was recorded live May 28, 2026.Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://peculiarbookclub.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://subscribepage.io/schillacenews⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠VIP Membership: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://payhip.com/PeculiarBookClub⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@PeculiarBookClub/streams⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@peculiarbookclub.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠facebook.com/groups/peculiarbooksclub⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@thepeculiarbookclub⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Eliot joins Eric from the shores of Lake Champlain to break down the latest administration jackassery before pivoting to the ongoing negotiations with Iran. They also discuss Russia's recent drone and missile barrage directed at Kyiv which included an Oreshnik missile capable of carrying conventional and nuclear warheads. Eric outlines his new CSBA monograph on nuclear command, control, and communications in the context of deterring both Russia and China as nuclear peers. To close out the show, Eric provides commentary on the Kenyan government's rejection of US efforts to open a quarantine facility for Americans who have contracted Ebola, John Cornyn's primary loss, and the prospects for the administration's Cuba policy.Eric's Nuclear Command, Control, and Communications Monograph:https://csbaonline.org/uploads/documents/CSBA8429_(Three_Body_Problem_Report)_final.pdfEliot's Latest in The Atlantic (Gift Link):https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/05/words-war/687343/?gift=KGDC3VdV8jaCufvP3bRsPvaB1GNTRUB7dNFTvrxKF_o&utm_source=copy-link&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=shareShield of the Republic is a Bulwark podcast co-sponsored by the Miller Center of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia.

Spike and Eliot discuss the potential trade of AJ Brown and whether his presence is a "destructive force" for Jalen Hurts. They compare the situation to other star receiver trades like Stefon Diggs and Tyreek Hill while weighing talent against team chemistry.

Send us Fan MailProperly understood, politics is an expression of culture. But the politician would like to use culture for political ends. In doing so, he boils his people's culture down to the merely aestheticized: food, traditional dance, music, dialect or accent. But this is culture as mere costume, not as a vital force that incarnates the total, religious experience of a people's life. Similar to the way a shallow version of culture gets deployed for political ends, so education too gets used for "levelling the playing field," so that everyone has equality of opportunity to succeed. But true equality of opportunity is a fiction; it could exist only in a state of the most radical communism which not only levels all social and economic distinctions, but also attacks the family and goes to war against nature.In this episode, Jonathan and Ryan read the closing chapters of T.S. Eliot's Notes Toward the Definition of Culture: Chapter V - "A Note on Culture and Politics," and Chapter VI - "Notes on Education and Culture: and Conclusion."T.S.

“To explain the lives of people living in this moment, to look at the historical forces that are shaping all of us, you have to look at business and technology. In our period, what is it that's shaping us? I would suggest it's the long fallout from the 2008 financial crisis and the technology revolution that's been happening in California.” — Alexander Starritt How to write a novel about our times? For Alexander Starritt, it means juxtaposing friendship and ambition alongside the grand historical forces of the age. Just as George Eliot did in Middlemarch. Whereas for Eliot, those forces were the 1832 Reform Acts and the industrial revolution, Starritt's forces are the 2008 financial crisis and the digital revolution. His novel, Drayton and Mackenzie, longlisted for the Financial Times Business Book of the Year, follows two ambitious Gen X'ers through the first two decades of the twenty-first century. The 2008 crash, Starritt says, ruined the lives of many of his generation. Rather than being in a Gramscian interregnum, our brave new 21st century world is already visible. But in contrast with many progressive critics of our neo-liberalism age, Starritt isn't apocalyptic about the future. Think of Drayton and Mackenzie as Middlemarch and McKinsey. Revolutions will come and go, but, for Alexander Starritt, friendship and ambition are unchanging. Five Takeaways •       The First Novel on the FT Business Book List in 15 Years: The Financial Times and Schroders Business Book of the Year longlist typically features books on China, AI, and tech giants. In 2025, for the first time in fifteen years, it included a novel. Starritt's reading of why: there's a gap. The literary and cultural worlds have become so estranged from the business world that very few writers are even attempting to write seriously about the forces that actually shape people's lives. That gap, he says, says as much about the cultural moment as any quality the book itself might have. •       George Eliot's Method: Historical Forces as the Engine of Fiction: When George Eliot wrote Middlemarch, the historical forces she was dramatising were the Reform Acts and the industrial revolution. Starritt's equivalent: the 2008 financial crisis and the California tech revolution. His method is Eliot's — use a closely observed relationship (in his case, a male friendship rather than a marriage) as the engine through which the reader experiences history. The friendship gives the historical canvas an emotional charge. The historical canvas gives the friendship its full weight. Neither works without the other. •       Male Friendship: The Most Important Relationship Nobody Writes About: We've all read too many books and seen too many films about romantic and sexual relationships. Starritt's observation: there is another type of relationship — friendship — that is incredibly important to almost all of us, and that gets almost no literary attention. Drayton and Mackenzie is his attempt to take it seriously. The friendship between James (straight-lined, disciplined, brilliant) and Roland (impulsive, self-sabotaging, charming) evolves from incomprehension to something described by the Financial Times as “unbreakable” — and the reviewer admitted that by the end, their vision wasn't the clearest. •       The Post-Liberal World Is Already Here: Everyone quotes Gramsci's interregnum — the old world is dying, the new one hasn't been born yet. Starritt's counter: the new world has already been born. You can see it everywhere across the Western world. British jobs for British workers. Reshoring manufacturing. Keeping out undesirable foreigners. There is, he notes, quite a lot of consensus about these things, even if the discourse around them is contested. The post-liberal world is already here. The question is not whether it will arrive but what we do with it. •       European Optimism: The Separation From America May Be for Europe's Own Good: Starritt's closing optimism, which he acknowledges may not be welcome news for American listeners: the painful separation from America that America is forcing upon Europe is probably, in the long run, for Europe's own good. Rather than relying on the White House, Europeans can take responsibility for themselves. David Runciman's idea: democracy needs to be renewed every generation. The external pressure of China, Russia, and an America that no longer wants to help may be the forcing function that produces that renewal. Maybe we can get some agency back. About the Guest Alexander Starritt is a Scottish novelist and entrepreneur. He was born in 1985 and is the author of Drayton and Mackenzie (Atlantic Monthly Press, June 2, 2026), We Germans (winner of the Dayton Literary Peace Prize), and The Beast (a 2017 Spectator book of the year). He was a founding team member of the policy platform Apolitical. He lives in London. References: •       Drayton and Mackenzie by Alexander Starritt (Atlantic Monthly Press, June 2, 2026). •       George Eliot, Middlemarch — Starritt's primary literary model, referenced explicitly. •       Adrian Wooldridge, “Bring Back the Big Business Novel,” Bloomberg — the piece referenced at the opening. •       David Runciman — referenced for his argument about democratic renewal. •       Michael Chabon, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay — the Financial Times comparison. About Keen On America Nobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen.

Joe DeCamara and Eliot Shorr-Parks go head to head on the 94 WIP Morning Show during Debate Week. Should the Eagles build a dome?

I first found Eliot Prince the way most of us find the good stuff online: by falling down a YouTube rabbit hole. I was researching Claude Cowork, his video popped up, and within an hour I was organizing my downloads folder with agentic AI for the first time. Eliot is a UK-based AI trainer and curriculum developer who helps business owners and professionals use AI in practical, systematic ways. Today he joins me on the podcast to walk through real examples of what agentic AI can do right now, from building a full PR study for under $10, to turning a single transcript into branded social media content, to running a complete SEO audit in minutes. If you've been wondering what "agentic AI" means for your day-to-day marketing work, this is the episode to start with. https://www.theagentsofchange.com/623 Need help with your branding, website, or digital marketing?

In March, we welcomed Malcolm Guite for an in-person event to celebrate his new book, Galahad and the Grail, which is the first in his Merlin's Isle trilogy published through Rabbit Room Press. While he was with us, Malcolm sat for this podcast interview in which he described his vision in creating this epic ballad, along with offering a deep exploration of what brought him to poetry in the first place. Since the book's release, Galahad and the Grail has topped bestselling charts and received numerous accolades, demonstrating that its ancient stories find renewal in our modern era. You can watch the video of the full conversation on our Youtube Channel hereRecommended Trinity Forum Readings: God's Grandeur: The Poems of Gerard Manley HopkinsFour Quartets, by T.S.

Ike, Spike, and Elliot Shorr-Parks revisit controversial sports takes during the "Master Debater" hour. A caller challenges Eliot's past takes and his failed lie detector test, leading to a deep dive into whether Jalen Hurts is truly the best player on the Eagles. They also compare Sean Mannion's press conference style to Nick Sirianni's philosophy.

Eliot and Eric discuss the current state of the Iran negotiations, the apparent US-Israeli plan to install Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as a Delcy Rodríguez-type figure early in the war, and Reuters' report on the ongoing hollowing out of U.S. diplomacy. They assess Trump's apparent designs in Cuba, noting the indictment of Raul Castro, and the deployment of an aircraft carrier strike group to the Caribbean. Finally, they touch on Turkey's deepening fall into authoritarianism and Putin's visit to Beijing before turning to guest Marc Bennetts, journalist and author of THE DESCENT: Witnessing Russia's Spiral Into Madness Under Putin.The Descent: Witnessing Russia's Spiral into Madness Under Putin:https://a.co/d/01fuFsvuInside the Unravelling of US Diplomacy Under Trump:https://www.reuters.com/investigations/inside-unraveling-us-diplomacy-under-trump-2026-05-21/Early War Goal Was to Install Hard-Line Former President as Iran's Leader:https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/19/us/politics/iran-israel-us-leader-ahmadinejad.htmlShield of the Republic is a Bulwark podcast co-sponsored by the Miller Center of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia.

Before the sun finally goes down on Changeling: the Lost's first edition, we've got one more text to talk about. What's that you say? We've gone through all the books and all the Dark Eras, so what could possibly be left? Well, as we prepared those final episodes, author Thomas McVey released Twilit Eildon, a homebrew title on the Storytellers' Vault. It was a surprise out of nowhere, especially because it was angled towards the first edition, so we felt it right and proper to give it a read. The book claims to delve into True Fae who might be less malevolent than expected, as well as the loyalists who support them, with asides on the topic of fae-blooded children and cyberspace. A bit incongruous? Perhaps. Still worth a read and a discussion? Naturally. We'll talk about whether our expectations are met and how much there really is/was left to say about this version of the Lost setting. Thomas' book is available for purchase at https://www.storytellersvault.com/en/product/554832?affiliate_id=3063731, and we are available for opinionated debate at the usual roundup of links: Discord: https://discord.me/ctp Email: podcast@changelingthepodcast.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100082973960699 Mastodon: https://dice.camp/@ChangelingPod Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/changelingthepodcast YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ChangelingThePodcast your hosts Pooka G (any pronoun/they) prefers the mouthfeel of the term gloaming for describing the end of the day.

In this episode of Tax Tuesday, Anderson Advisors' Barley Bowler, CPA, and Eliot Thomas, Esq., answer listener questions covering a broad range of real estate, retirement, and investment tax topics. They break down cost segregation studies and depreciation recapture, explaining how bonus depreciation accelerates deductions and how 1031 exchanges and stepped-up basis can help investors defer or eliminate gain entirely. They address whether vacated rental rooms can qualify as deductible office space, and walk through how multi-state 1099 income is taxed when a worker performs services in Kansas for California patients through a Utah company. Barley and Eliot also clarify how MAGI determines the taxable portion of Social Security benefits in retirement, and confirm that qualified retirement plan distributions are protected from California taxation once a taxpayer has established residency in Nevada. Additional topics include 529 college savings plans for children attending accredited foreign universities, combining Roth IRAs with a payroll strategy for minor children, when Schedule E versus Schedule C applies to short-term rental income, and the significant hurdles of qualifying for Trader Tax Status — along with an alternative C-corporation trading structure that may offer far greater and more reliable tax advantages. Tune in for expert advice on these topics and more! Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.com Highlights/Topics: [00:00] Intro to Tax Tuesday with Eliot and Barley [7:10] "I would like to know more about cost segregation and depreciation recapture on property sales." Cost segregation accelerates deductions upfront. Recapture taxes those gains at ordinary rates upon sale. [18:00] "At the beginning of this year, I moved into a new home. At my previous residence, I had been renting two rooms, and I am currently working to sublet them. I am still on the lease and committed to covering the cost of those two rooms until I find replacements. My question is: since I am continuing to pay for these rooms, would it be possible to classify them as office space and potentially use them as a tax deduction?" Have your business assume the lease directly. That creates a clean, legitimate deduction. [22:53] "My wife is doing remote 1099 work, and I had a question on where state taxes are due. We live in Kansas and she performs the work from a home office or rented office space in Kansas. She is performing this work through a contracting/locums company based out of Utah, but the current work she is providing is for patients in California. Do we pay KS or CA state income tax for this 1099 work?" Both Kansas and California claim the income. Kansas credits taxes already paid to California. [29:35] "Taxes in retirement: we know you can be taxed on Social Security. We don't know the details. How much can you make to avoid being taxed? Does the IRS include all incomes, passive and active? We just don't have details." Between 50–85% of benefits may be taxable. MAGI includes all income, even tax-exempt interest. [36:54] "I have been a Nevada resident for 2 years. I started my retirement from a California corporation this year. Can California tax my retirement benefits now that I am a NV resident?" No. Federal law fully protects qualified retirement benefits paid to Nevada residents. [40:55] "I am a business owner in Texas. My twin kids are growing up in a foreign country with their cousins. They may want to pursue higher education there. I haven't started a 529 college savings plan yet. If they decide not to go to college at an American university, what would be the best type of tax-sheltered account to invest in, for the kids?" 529 plans cover accredited foreign universities. Combine with a Roth IRA for maximum impact. [48:17] "Is it okay to use Schedule E to report short-term rental income?" Yes, if you provide only minimal services. Substantial services push income to Schedule C. [53:55] "For 2025 tax year, I made more than 800 trades - frequently - 3 days/week throughout the year. I made profits both from long-term investing and short-term trades. Am I eligible for Trader Tax Status and able to deduct my expenses in 2025 filing (I applied for extension)." Trader Tax Status is highly subjective and audit-prone. A C-corp trading structure is safer. Resources:

[CORRECTED AUDIO]We've had some gonzo episodes before, and a couple of trainwrecks, but this is the first-ever episode that is actually two episodes edited together, with sequence changes, new sound effects, canned insults from John, etc. I explained in a Substack post our technical difficulties that arose in the livestream, and here is the fix. Let us know what you think!In fits and starts we do cover some breaking legal developments, whether Israel has any hope of a libal action against the New York Times (which richly deserves it), the surprising statesmanlike bearing of President Trump, some surprising remarks on anti-Semitism from T.S. Eliot, and more.So here we go!

Eric and Eliot survey a wide range of jackassery, highlighting Trump's bizarre attack on longtime Mitch McConnell aide Robert Karem. They discuss Trump's gross mismanagement of the Department of Defense as exemplified by the US Army budget shortfall due to National Guard deployments to US cities and the border. They debate the intelligence community's leaked assessment of Iran's surviving missile and launcher capabilities and what advice they would give to a hypothetical "normal" administration on how to successfully extricate from Iran. They also review the Trump-Xi Summit in China, assess trump's designs on Cuba, and discuss the broader implications of Turkey's newly unveiled ICBM.Eric on the Reagan Defense Build Up (Gift Link):https://thedispatch.com/next-250/peace-through-strength-reagan-250/?gift_key=e0d7f3be6686eb5a&gift_ref=3886671&utm_source=giftlink&utm_campaign=membergift&utm_medium=copy_linkEric on Turkey's New ICBM:https://www.thebulwark.com/p/turkey-new-missile-is-a-symbol-of-gobal-chaos-erdogan-yildirimhan-icbm-saha-trump-europe-russia-ukraine-iran-israel-natoShield of the Republic is a Bulwark podcast co-sponsored by the Miller Center of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia.
