Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for November 6, 2025 is: conciliatory • kun-SILL-yuh-tor-ee • adjective Something described as conciliatory is intended to reduce hostility or to gain favor or goodwill. // As the customer's voice rose, the manager adopted a soothing, conciliatory tone and promised that the situation would be remedied. See the entry > Examples: “When I was younger, and my father found me in bed after my mother had said or done something to send me there, he would sit for a moment by my feet and tell me, in an awkward, conciliatory way, that it wasn't my mother's fault. She was sad, and worried, and she had been sad and worried for a long time, so I had to try harder to be a good, thoughtful child.” — Farah Ali, The River, The Town: A Novel, 2025 Did you know? If you are conciliatory toward someone, you're trying to win that person over to your side, usually by making them less angry. The verb conciliate was borrowed into English in the mid-16th century and descends from the Latin verb conciliare, meaning “to assemble, unite, or win over.” Conciliare, in turn, comes from the noun concilium, meaning “assembly” or “council.” Conciliatory, which appeared in English a bit later in the 16th century, also traces back to conciliare, and is used especially to describe things like tones, gestures, and approaches intended to turn someone's frown upside down. Another word that has conciliare as a root is reconcile, the earliest meaning of which is “to restore to friendship or harmony.”

Join JrodConcerts for a fascinating conversation with Joelton Mayfield, the Nashville-based artist celebrating his debut album, Crowd Pleaser (out since October 24th via Bloodshot Records). In this episode, we dive deep into the inspiration behind Crowd Pleaser, the meaning of his new single "Turpentine (You Know the One)," and how he's navigating the music world as a burgeoning songwriter. The State of the Music Industry: We discuss his Wilco and Mountain Goats-inspired single, "Turpentine (You Know the One)," opening up about the industry's "perpetual failures" versus the miraculous way musicians keep making resonant songs anyway. The Journey to Crowd Pleaser: Joelton details the album's map of an unraveling and reformation, sorting through the hypocrisies, doubts, and disappointments that sharpened his sense of self. Life as a Songwriter: We explore the pressures of putting a breakup into a song and whether being empathetic is a must for a successful singer-songwriter. Stage Nerves and Heroes: Hear Joelton reflect on still getting nervous on stage, what it was like being an opener for heroes like The Mountain Goats' John Darnielle, John Moreland, and Steve Earle. Personal Reflections: He shares thoughts on gratitude vs. the next climb, how English literature and authors like C.S. Lewis influence his writing, and the unique power of songs connecting with multi-generations of fans. The Big Question: What does 'pleasing' mean to Joelton Mayfield in 2025?

David and Victoria Beckham graduated from “Mr. and Mrs.” to “Sir and Lady” after the soccer legend was knighted for his service in sport and charity. It was a decade-long process – and apparently included some expletive-filled emails when he got passed over years ago. The family gathered to celebrate, but we couldn't help but notice one noticeably absent Beckham. Meanwhile, Simone Biles shared a “get unready with me” TikTok we didn't know we needed full of cultural confessions. Simone, if you're reading this: it would be our honor to show you how to use a dishwasher.  In this week's episode, we also discuss:  Caroline's crash out over the Jets trade of Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams Hellen Obiri breaking the NYC Marathon course record – and her parents adorable reaction Clayton Kershaw's dad bod on full display, plus whether Shohei Ohtani is secretly fluent in English  What we want out of the next Cardi B and Robert Kraft sighting Joe Burrow's Halloween costume that had us asking…why so serious?  Send Its:  Cardi B and Kraft are suite-side besties: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQkokwUgEBU/?igsh=MThyaHZyY3F6bmNzbA==  Simone Biles' “get unready with me” confessions: https://www.tiktok.com/@simonebilesowens/video/7566672113323560222?lang=en  Chappell Roan at the National Horse Show: https://www.instagram.com/p/DQf0kTcDv_t/  Miley Stewart isn't Hannah Montana…Cam Dicker is: https://www.tiktok.com/@chargers/video/7567119748417195295?lang=en  Ms. Terry (aka Nick Saban's wife)  is all of us: https://www.instagram.com/p/DQnRrDjDrxA/  Blake's IG: @blaaakkkke Caroline's IG: @cghendy theSkimm's IG: @theskimm Want more sports?

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for November 5, 2025 is: lout • LOUT • noun A lout is an awkward brutish person. // It was difficult for us to focus on the movie due to the noise coming from the group of louts seated in front of us. See the entry > Examples: “Fortunately for Vince, Jake is about to sell their mother's house, and the proceeds should cover his deep debts. As is often the case with ne'er-do-wells, however, Vince doesn't make anything easy, and [actor Jason] Bateman casts him as an arrogant lout ... who's always playing the angles to his own benefit, damn the damage he causes to everyone else.” — Nick Schager, The Daily Beast, 18 Sept. 2025 Did you know? Lout belongs to a large group of words that we use to indicate a particular sort of offensive and insensitive person, that group also including such terms as boor, oaf, jerk, and churl. English speakers have used lout in this way since the mid-1500s. Well before the 12th century, however, lout functioned as a verb with the meaning “to bow in respect.” No one is quite sure how—or even if—the verb sense developed into a noun meaning “an awkward brutish person.” The noun could have been coined independently, but if its source was the verb, perhaps the awkward posture of one bowing down led over the centuries to the idea that the bowing person was base and awkward as well.

Check out the podcast on Macslist here: (https://www.macslist.org/?post_type=podcasts&p=16435&preview=true)  Many job seekers treat interviews as a series of questions to answer correctly, but doing so can make you blend in instead of stand out. On this episode of Find Your Dream Job, career coach Kacie Bail explains how to turn an interview into a genuine conversation that builds trust and connection with your interviewer. She shares three practical steps: listen intently, identify conversation threads, and engage naturally with what your interviewer says. By focusing on curiosity and connection, you can show that you're not only qualified but also someone they'll enjoy working with. Kacie also offers simple ways to signal understanding, ask meaningful follow-up questions, and use nonverbal cues like nodding and smiling to build rapport. You'll learn how to adapt these techniques for both casual and highly structured interviews — and why the goal isn't perfection, but authenticity. As Kacie reminds us, interviewers may forget your exact answers, but they'll always remember how you made them feel.

Tara dives into the mechanics of immigration and its impact on U.S. politics, revealing how certain populations are being brought to major cities, often unable or unwilling to assimilate, and the consequences for American elections. She examines the massive welfare system supporting these communities, illegal issuance of Social Security numbers, and the potential political influence of these populations. The episode also explores how cities like New York are becoming demographically and culturally distinct from the rest of the U.S., and the urgent steps conservatives must take to protect American governance, culture, and elections. *Understanding how immigration, welfare, and demographics are shaping America's political future.* Immigration, Welfare, Social Security fraud, Illegal immigrants, New York City, Demographics, Political strategy, Democrats, Republicans, UN, Biden administration, Trump administration, Shadow electorate, Communist influence, Urban policy, Government spending, Midterms, Homeland Security, Election integrity In this eye-opening episode, Tara explains how U.S. immigration policies and welfare programs have created a “shadow nation” that influences elections and urban politics. She highlights New York City as a case study, with one in five residents unable to speak English and nearly half born outside the U.S., living on extensive welfare programs funded by taxpayers. Tara details how billions in government spending, illegal Social Security issuance, and preferential immigration policies have created an electorate that favors socialist or communist candidates. She warns of the potential for cities to become culturally and politically disconnected from the rest of America, urging conservatives to take decisive action to restore lawful immigration, reduce welfare abuse, and protect American elections and governance.

Tara and Lee dive into the explosive New York City mayoral election that has sent shockwaves across the political landscape. From Zoran Mamdani's unapologetic democratic socialist victory to the hidden impact of illegal immigration on voting and welfare programs, this episode dissects how a city once emblematic of America is now a “post-American” territory. They explore the demographic shifts, voter ID loopholes, and federal welfare spending that contributed to Mamdani's win, as well as the broader implications for upcoming elections and the future of the country. *When the mask slips, the system behind the election is exposed.* New York City mayoral election, Zoran Mamdani, socialism, illegal immigration, voter ID, shadow nation, food stamps, welfare fraud, democratic party, post-American territory, political analysis, Republican strategy, Trump, immigration policy, cultural shift In this episode, Tara and Lee examine the controversial election of Zoran Mamdani as NYC mayor, highlighting his democratic socialist agenda and unapologetic stance. They discuss the structural and demographic factors that enabled his victory, including high numbers of non-English speaking and non-citizen residents, no voter ID requirements, and extensive welfare benefits distributed to illegal immigrants. The hosts argue this election signals a broader “post-American” transformation in urban governance, where traditional American norms are bypassed in favor of policies that secure votes and maintain power. They break down the implications for Republicans, the midterms, and future elections, including the urgent need for voter engagement, economic messaging, and addressing systemic loopholes. The episode closes with a warning that without action, more cities could mirror New York's trajectory, reshaping the country's political and cultural landscape.

From Uber shifts to building Legacy Wealth Academy: In this episode of the Life Insurance Academy Podcast, we sit down with Mark Cassara (Frisco, TX)—a financial strategist and educator who's grown an audience of 2M+ across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook— to unpack how short-form, value-first content can build trust, generate inbound leads, and fuel a thriving virtual practice focused on IULs, executive bonus plans, and retirement strategies. Mark shares: How he went from 3 jobs to full-time in 6–8 months—and then doubled his income year over year The content system (and cadence) that took him from 0 to 100K+ followers in months Why short-form "give, give, give" education beats hard selling Clear, plain-English explanations of IULs (upside potential, 0% floor, liquidity, and common pitfalls) Real-world client use cases: enhanced liquidity riders, premium deposit accounts, and executive strategies How he onboards agents with a social media bootcamp so they can win faster If you're an agent, leader, or entrepreneur who wants to build a pipeline without buying leads—and serve families with clarity and confidence—this one's for you.

So, you've decided it's time to turn up the heat on your worldbuilding. Maybe you're writing a full-on romantasy, or maybe it's a smaller component of your overall plot, but if your characters are getting down and dirty, how do you make sure they're getting their freak on in a way that reflects the culture they exist in? Guest Nia Davenport joins us to explore all the angles -- and positions. When we're thinking about the culture of sex (and sexy cultures), there's a lot to unpack, particularly because of our own society's various hang-ups, preconceptions, and puritanical history. So how have social forces exerted pressure on ideas about the expression (and perhaps exhibition) of desire within your invented world? How can you use your characters to challenge or subvert conceptions of promiscuity, chastity, gender roles, and power dynamics? [Transcript for Episode 167] Our Guest: Nia "N.E." Davenport is an award-winning Science Fiction/Fantasy author who writes stories that blend magic, mayhem, and deadly heroines. She attended the University of Southern California and studied Biological Sciences and Theatre Arts. She also has an M.A. in Secondary Education. She teaches English and Biology to amazing students.

When Cora meets Sam at a baby group in their small town, the chemistry between them is undeniable. Both are happily married young parents with two kids, and neither sees themselves as the type to engage in an affair. Yet their connection grows stronger, and as their lives continue to intertwine, the romantic tension between them becomes all-consuming—until their worlds unravel into two parallel timelines. In one, they pursue their feelings. In the other, they resist.As reality splits, the everyday details of Cora's life—her depressing marketing job, her daughter's new fascination with the afterlife, her husband's obsession with podcasts about the history of rope—gain fresh perspective. The intersecting and diverging timelines blur the boundaries of reality and fantasy, questioning what might have been and what truly matters.The Ten Year Affair is a witty, emotionally-charged exploration of marriage, family life, and the roads not taken, that ultimately asks: do we really want our fantasies to come true?

What was life really like for the poor and powerless in the wake of the Napoleonic Wars? In this episode of the Explaining History podcast, we're joined by Katharine Quarmby, author of the powerful new historical novel, The Low Road.Set in 1813, The Low Road is a story of hardship, struggle, and love found in the most brutal corners of English life. Based on a true story unearthed from her hometown in Norfolk, Catherine's novel follows an orphaned girl, Hannah, as she navigates the cruel institutions of the time—from the philanthropic but oppressive Refuge for the Destitute in London to the harsh reality of transportation to Australia.We delve deep into the history, discussing:The "age of austerity" and economic slump that crushed the rural poor after the Napoleonic Wars.The brutal system of transportation—the largest forced migration of British people in history—and its dual injustice to those exiled and Indigenous populations.The hidden lives of women in service, the systemic predation they faced, and the stark choices they had to make.The surprising and tender queer relationships that flourished in the all-female spaces of workhouses and convict ships, and how these bonds of love and loyalty became a form of resistance.Join us for a fascinating conversation that uncovers the resilience of the human spirit against a backdrop of state violence and social injustice. The Low Road is a masterful work that brings a forgotten history vividly to life.Purchase Katharine Quarmby's The Low Road from your favourite independent bookseller, in the show notes below.Find the Explaining History Podcast wherever you get your podcasts.Explaining History helps you understand the 20th Century through critical conversations and expert interviews.

If your family has lived in North America for more than a few generations, chances are that part of your story began in England. For centuries, English men and women boarded ships that sailed toward an uncertain horizon, leaving behind familiar fields and cathedrals for a world they knew only through rumor and prayer. To trace English ancestry is to follow the roots of early America itself. The language we speak, the laws we live under, and even the shape of our small towns carry the fingerprints of those who crossed the Atlantic centuries ago. But their story is not abstract history—it's the story of people like us, who dreamed of something better and faced the fear of never going home...

Nichole goes beneath the waves with Dr. Aude Pacini from the Marine Mammal Research Program at the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology.
