Senator Jon Ossoff recently walked into Beulah Missionary Baptist Church in Decatur, Georgia, opened the Book of Amos, and delivered one of the most theologically precise speeches I've heard from any political figure in years. In 8 minutes and 41 seconds, he did what MAGA pastors with massive platforms and full-time theology staffs refuse to do: name the corruption, place it in a 3,000-year-old prophetic tradition, and connect it to the suffering of real people in real zip codes. Ossoff is not pandering. He's not decorating a political speech with Bible verses. He's doing exegesis — and he's doing it in front of a Black Baptist congregation with a 60-year covenant to the civil rights movement. That matters theologically.

Without Sophia, his AI Co-Host, Detlef Schlich returns to the physical presence of a real conversation: two people sitting inside a gallery, surrounded by paintings, sculptures, handmade objects, and the quiet energy of a space that has only recently been brought back to life. Felicitas speaks about discovering the empty room by chance, renovating it over nearly a month, and turning it into a living continuation of her artistic path.At the heart of the episode is the meaning of the name Gallery Emptiness. For Felicitas, emptiness is not a void, not absence, not nothingness. It is a space without fixed essence — a field of relation, vibration, energy, and possibility. This becomes the philosophical pulse of the conversation.The episode also opens towards future plans for the gallery: spoken word evenings, poetry, word games, small performances, mini theatre, workshops, clothing upcycling, and creative gatherings where people can explore expression in a personal and playful way. There is also a subtle but strong critique of disposable fashion culture — the tendency to buy, wear once, and discard. Felicitas offers another path: clothing as second skin, as personality, as self-made presence.Gallery Emptiness becomes more than a gallery. It becomes a small cultural chamber in Bantry — a place for art, words, encounter, transformation, and community.The episode closes with a new Los Inorgánicos song:“Emptiness Is Not a Hidden Void”A poetic reflection on Felicitas' statement, the gallery, and the strange beauty of a space that begins empty only so something alive can enter.Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker,ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork. He is recognised for his seminal work, including a scholarly examination of the intersections between shamanism, art, and digital culture, and his acclaimed video installation, Transodin's Tragedy. He primarily works in performance, photography, painting, sound, installations, and film. In his work, he reflects on the human condition and uses the digital shaman's methodology as an alter ego to create artwork. His media archaeology is a conceptual and practical exercise in uncovering the unique aesthetic, cultural, and political aspects of media in culture.WEBSITE LINKS WAW Official YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@WAWBandFrom the forthcoming WAW albumThe Stories of Nil YoungTwo songs from WAW's developing album project The Stories of Nil Young — a mythopoetic journey along the Nile, where river, memory, loss, cooperation and hope flow into music.AfricaSmileAfricaSmile follows the Nile as an imagined journey from its sources to the Mediterranean Sea — a river of memory, movement, rhythm and myth.The song turns the meeting of the White Nile and the Blue Nile into a fragile image of cooperation.

Zweifellos zählt Ingeborg Bachmann zu den wichtigsten deutschsprachigen Schriftstellerinnen. In ihrem literarischen Werk, ob Prosa, Lyrik, Essay, Hörspiel, Libretti sezierte sie den Gegenstand. Wahrhaftigkeit forderte sie ein, mit jedem Satz, den sie schrieb: „Die Wahrheit ist dem Menschen zumutbar“, so Bachmann. Mit ihren Texten fiel sie auf, auch bei der Gruppe 47, lebte zwischen Klagenfurt, Wien, Zürich, München, Rom, hatte in ihrem Schreiben eine davon geprägte Internationalität und wurde für ihr Werk mit vielen, renommierten Preisen ausgezeichnet, u.a. mit dem Hörspielpreis der Kriegsblinden oder dem Georg-Büchner-Preis. Doch: Wer war Ingeborg Bachmann, die am 25. Juni 1926 in Klagenfurt geboren wurde und tragisch 1973 im Alter von 47 Jahren in Rom verstarb? Wie lebte sie? Was verbirgt sich hinter ihrem schriftstellerischen Werk? Jemand, der sich mit Ingeborg Bachmann und ihren Texten gründlich auseinandergesetzt hat, ist die Literaturkritikerin Insa Wilke. Viele Jahre gehörte sie zum Jurorenteam des Ingeborg-Bachmann-Preises, zuletzt, bis 2023, war sie Juryvorsitzende. Bei NDR Kultur à la carte spricht Insa Wilke mit Katja Weise zum 100. Geburtstag von Ingeborg Bachmann.

Vor 75 Jahren erschien Ernst Jüngers Essay „Der Waldgang“. Die kleine Schrift zählt zu den wichtigsten Werken des Autors, sie wird bis heute diskutiert und im Zeitalter der Sozialen Medien als reicher Zitatenschatz ausgebeutet. Außerdem ist der Essay eine literaturhistorische, biographische und mentalitätsgeschichtliche Fundgrube. Besitzt der Gang in den Wald darüber hinaus aber auch eine aktuelle politische Relevanz? Eignen sich die Jüngers Erkenntnisse sechs Jahre nach Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs, um die Verhältnisse und Zustände der Jetztzeit zu analysieren? Diesen Fragen geht der deutsch-iranische Publizist Parviz Amoghli in seinem Radioessay nach.

Simone Buchholz hat sich vor allem als Krimiautorin einen Namen gemacht. Mit ihrem aktuellen Essay wagt sie sich auf neues Terrain. Darin erzählt sie, wie sie als alleinerziehende Feministin ihren Sohn großgezogen hat.

Met emiritus hoogleraar kunst, cutluur & diversiteit Rosemarie Buikema en schrijver & essayist Marja Pruis Marja Pruis - schrijver en essayistBeelden zijn niet alleen beschrijvend, ze zijn vormend. Kijk je naar de westerse kunstgeschiedenis, dan is het dominante beeld van de moeder dat van de heilige Maria: toegewijd, opofferend, zonder vieze handen of schort - een schim bijna, volledig in dienst van haar kind. Geschilderd door mannen, bekeken van buitenaf. Zo kregen we eeuwenlang wél beelden van het instituut moederschap, maar nauwelijks van de ervaring zelf. En op die eeuwenoude beelden borduren we nog altijd voort - versterkt door social media misschien nog wel meer dan de generatie voor ons. Vanuit die onrealistische lat ontstaan schuldgevoelens die vrouwen klein houden. Het idee dat een goede moeder zoveel mogelijk aanwezig is, klinkt als zorg - maar houdt vrouwen ook gebonden aan het thuisfront.Maar wat de generatie moeders van nu ook kenmerkt, mede dankzij diezelfde social media, is dat er eindelijk ruimte komt voor het hele spectrum van die ervaring: naast de schattige kinderen, de snoezige kleertjes, de gezellige uitjes of het kneuterige samenzijn, ook de verveling, de woede, het verlangen naar afstand en eigen ruimte. Alle ambivalentie die bij het moederschap hoort. In die gedeelde ervaring schuilt onze kracht. Zo kunnen we het beeld van de goede moeder bijstellen, verrijken en verdiepen. Iets heel anders dan Maria, kortom. Ik onderzoek het moederschap als persoonlijke invulling én als politiek systeem met emeritus hoogleraar kunst, cultuur en diversiteit Rosemarie Buikema en met schrijver en essayist Marja Pruis. We eindigen met een herdefinitie van goed moederschap: eentje die de druk verlicht en meer ruimte creëert voor de vrouw die de moederrol vervult.Shownotes Aflevering 5: de heiligeGeïnteresseerd in meer?

Thirty-five-year-old supermodel Emily Ratajkowski recently published a deeply personal, post-divorce essay for The Cut, and Kennedy is pulling back the curtain on what she calls "blathering, pornographic nonsense." From oversharing gruesome birth details to admitting she had a child just to "one-up" other single women in New York City, Kennedy unmasks the deep insecurities, loneliness, and emotional emptiness hiding behind the perfect social media image.

When the UFC came to the White House lawn, fighter Josh Hokit stepped up to a microphone and gave America a perfect picture of what MAGA Christianity has become — a religion of power, dominance, and spectacle that bears no resemblance to the Jesus of the Gospels. In this episode I break down the Josh Hokit White House UFC moment and what it reveals about Christian nationalism in the Trump era: a faith that worships the strong, mocks the weak, and mistakes brutality for blessing. We'll trace the "bread and circuses" parallel back to Rome — the empire that fed Christians to the lions in arenas just like this one — and ask how the followers of a crucified Savior ended up cheering for the coliseum.

In Arteetude 338 – The Law of Acceleration, Part One, Detlef Schlich and Sophia, his AI Co-Host, begin a two-part philosophical journey into acceleration, artistic exhaustion, media pressure, and the fragile search for resonance in the technological age.Following the reflections of Arteetude 336 and 337 — from Heidegger, Kurzweil, AI image floods, The Collapse of Wonder, and Ilen's Hopium — this new episode asks why artistic life today feels so permanently accelerated. Even a three-month release rhythm can feel like constant pressure when writing, producing, editing, uploading, promoting, and reflecting never truly stop.The episode brings together two major thinkers of speed and modernity. Paul Virilio — born in Paris in 1932 and deeply shaped by war, urban destruction, architecture, technology, and military acceleration — developed the idea of dromology, the logic of speed, and famously argued that every invention also invents its own accident.Hartmut Rosa — born in Lörrach, Germany, in 1965 — offers a later sociological diagnosis of modern life through his theories of social acceleration, alienation, and resonance. His work asks what happens when not only machines, but social expectations, communication, production, and everyday life itself accelerate.For Detlef, this is not only theory. It becomes a personal reflection on ageing as an artist, on WAW, Arteetude, AI images, podcast production, music videos, social media, and the strange condition of the independent artist who has gained freedom — only to discover that freedom can become infrastructure.At the heart of the episode is Detlef's 1990s song “Zeitrebell”, whose refrain becomes a poetic counter-gesture to acceleration:Ich bin ein Zeitrebell,und wenn es mir zu schnell wird,stelle ich mich auf den Schatten meiner Sonnenuhr.In this episode, the old Zeitrebell returns — not as nostalgia, but as a living message from Detlef's younger self to the ageing artist of today.The episode closes with a new musical reflection by Los Inorgánicos:“Zeitrebell — The Shadow of the Sundial.”Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker,ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork. He is recognised for his seminal work, including a scholarly examination of the intersections between shamanism, art, and digital culture, and his acclaimed video installation, Transodin's Tragedy.

One year after Melissa Hortman was assassinated in her own home, Vance Boelter has pleaded guilty — and the motive that MAGA spent a year denying is now a matter of federal record. Boelter, a self-described preacher and Christ for the Nations graduate, hunted lawmakers by name with a police disguise and a 70-person target list. This is the story of how spiritual-warfare theology stopped being a metaphor.

This episode of Socially Democratic is the June Mailbag. Todd Pinkerton and Lissie Ratcliff answer your questions on AI, the budget, progressive media, and the future of cheap beer.

(00:00) — Family in medicine: How a neurologist mom and a sister in pediatrics shaped Justin's early interest(03:28) — The chemistry PhD question: Why lab research pushed Justin back toward medicine(07:14) — Duke and the premed decision: Choosing a school and a major with med school in mind(09:40) — Applying straight through during COVID: The stress of a compressed timeline and limited clinical access(14:17) — 37 schools, 3 interviews, 2 waitlists: Breaking down the numbers and the emotional reality(20:58) — Essay mistakes on reread: What Justin found wrong when he looked at his application months later(25:56) — Reapplication in real time: Revising essays, lining up a gap year job, and submitting a second cycle(33:45) — The June phone call: Coming off the University of Maryland waitlist weeks before orientation(37:12) — Late housing scramble: What it looks like to find an apartment after a June acceptance(39:57) — For students still waiting: Holding hope and planning for another cycle at the same timeJustin applied to 37 medical schools, earned three interviews, and landed on two waitlists before finally getting the call he had been hoping for — from University of Maryland — in the first week of June. In this conversation, he is candid about what held his application back: clinical and volunteering experiences that started too late because of COVID restrictions, and experience essays that tried to impress readers with technical organic chemistry detail instead of showing personal growth. He also walks through the parallel stress of watching his girlfriend navigate her own application cycle simultaneously, and the practical decisions they made to try to stay geographically close. Justin reflects honestly on the gap year question — he applied straight through from undergrad and now sees real value in what a year away from school can offer. If you are sitting on a waitlist right now or already thinking about a second cycle, his perspective on holding hope while still preparing a backup plan is exactly the kind of grounded, real-world guidance that is hard to find.What You'll Learn:- Why starting clinical experiences late can limit what you are able to write about, even if the experiences themselves are meaningful- How experience essays go wrong when they try to educate the reader on a research topic instead of showing growth and reflection- What a realistic reapplication process looks like — from rereading old essays to submitting a focused second cycle- How to hold on to waitlist hope without letting it delay your preparation for another cycle- What the logistics of a late waitlist acceptance actually involve, from housing to orientation timelines

Martin Padgett wrote the feature essay “Object Permanence” for the fall 2025 issue of Gravy Quarterly, our sister publication. In the piece, he catalogs the objects we live with actively, those we tolerate like inanimate roommates, and those we give away, sometimes to make room for the new. We liked it so much that we asked them to read it for Gravy podcast listeners.

Two of G.K. Chesterton's most unexpectedly prophetic essays take center stage in this issue of Gilbert Magazine: "An Architect's Nightmare," a 1928 piece that anticipates nearly everything being said today about AI, passive technology, and false progress, and "Freud on Slips of the Pen," a recently unearthed 1921 Daily Express article in which Chesterton dismantles psychoanalysis with surgical wit. Joe Grabowski and Grettelyn Darkey walk through the current issue of Gilbert—the official publication of the Society of G.K. Chesterton —drawing out what Chesterton saw about passive entertainment, the cyclical delusions of optimists and pessimists, and why art remains the irreducible signature of man. In This Episode: What G.K. Chesterton's 1928 essay "An Architect's Nightmare" reveals about spaces built for man vs. spaces man is expected to serve—and why his critique of industrial-age optimism and pessimism maps almost perfectly onto today's conversations about AI The pattern Chesterton exposed over a century ago: enthusiastic builders of terrible things who become pessimists insisting nothing can be done—and why Chesterton holds that human will, not historical inevitability, is what truly separates man from the octopus "Freud on Slips of the Pen": a newly unearthed 1921 essay in which G.K. Chesterton takes apart the Freudian slip using Hamlet, Punch and Judy, and the plain observation that a man who writes something down and doesn't cross it out intended to write it Chesterton on the standardizing effects of the cinema—how the same concerns raised about silent films in the 1920s echo in every conversation about video games, social media, and passive screen entertainment today A tour of the current Gilbert: the Chesterton Schools Network's capstone Rome pilgrimage, an 11th-grader's essay on Dante, a takedown of Paul Ehrlich's famously wrong prophecies, and G.K.

Eric Metaxas claims America's founders intended to organize the United States around the Old Testament's Sinai Covenant — a "Christian nation" built on biblical law. In Part 2 of this series, we put that claim under the microscope and ask a simple question: where are the receipts ?The answer, according to virtually every working historian, is that they don't exist. This is a careful, evidence-based refutation of the Christian nationalism narrative Metaxas is selling — and an honest look at why he's selling it now. We trace how the rhetoric works, who it's meant to mobilize, and what it actually does to the Christian witness when bad history gets baptized as theology. This isn't about scoring political points. It's about scholarship, the historical record, and the difference between what scripture says and what Christian nationalism needs it to say. Whether you're a believer, a skeptic, or somewhere in between, the goal is the same: sanity, sound reasoning, and a defensible account of where the United States actually came from.

In this essay, Michael Grooff argues for a bipartite reading of Kropotkin's account of sympathy, the mechanism behind the evolutionary mutual aid principle. Incorporating both simulation as well as perception in our analysis solves the problem of animal sympathy and provides a better account of sympathy as the basis of anarchist morality. Michael Grooff is a PhD researcher in fundamental and practical philosophy at the Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany. Grooff's most recent publications are Sympathy as the Engine of Mutual Aid: Reading Kropotkin's Bipartite Account of Sympathy and Freedom of Recreation: A Critique of the Prohibition, Decriminalization, and Legal Regulation of Psychedelics for Recreational Use.

Die politische Linke steckt in der Krise. In den vergangenen Jahrzehnten hat sie ihre Fähigkeit verloren, eine glaubwürdige Alternative zum bestehenden System anzubieten. Damit hat sie ihr ureigenstes Terrain preisgegeben. Wie konnte das geschehen? Von Nils Schniederjann www.deutschlandfunk.de, Essay und Diskurs

In Arteetude 337 – Ilens Hopium, Detlef Schlich and Sophia, his AI Co-Host, continue the philosophical journey begun in Arteetude 336, The Collapse of Wonder. After exploring the flood of AI-generated images, Heidegger's question concerning technology, and Ray Kurzweil's vision of technological acceleration, this episode moves closer to the river — not as a simple metaphor, but as a living method of thought.From the Nile of AfricaSmile to the River Ilen in West Cork, Detlef reflects on how rivers carry memory, sediment, wounds, names, and fragile possibilities of hope. The River Ilen becomes more than landscape: it becomes biography, artistic method, local presence, and a counter-image to technological acceleration.The episode explores the origin of the word Hopium, first used playfully by Dirk in relation to the emerging WAW song idea Ilens Hopium. What began as a joke opens into a deeper philosophical space: She — the River Ilen — is hoping for hope. Through Heidegger's lens, Hopium becomes a word that reveals contradiction: hope and suspicion, medicine and poison, survival and self-deception. Through Kurzweil's lens, the river offers another kind of intelligence — not singularity, but plurality; not acceleration, but return; not one final answer, but bend after bend, name after name.The episode closes with a new Los Inorgánicos piece titled “First Mist from the Ilen — Every Bend a Hope / Before the Song Appears.” This is not intended to replace the future WAW single Ilens Hopium, which Detlef and Dirk hope to release later this year. Instead, it functions as a philosophical companion in the universe of multilayerism — a sonic sketch, a small ritual support, and a first mist rising from the River Ilen before the full song appears.Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker,ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork. He is recognised for his seminal work, including a scholarly examination of the intersections between shamanism, art, and digital culture, and his acclaimed video installation, Transodin's Tragedy. He primarily works in performance, photography, painting, sound, installations, and film. In his work, he reflects on the human condition and uses the digital shaman's methodology as an alter ego to create artwork. His media archaeology is a conceptual and practical exercise in uncovering the unique aesthetic, cultural, and political aspects of media in culture.WEBSITE LINKS WAW Official YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@WAWBandFrom the forthcoming WAW albumThe Stories of Nil YoungTwo songs from WAW's developing album project The Stories of Nil Young — a mythopoetic journey along the Nile, where river, memory, loss, cooperation and hope flow into music.AfricaSmileAfricaSmile follows the Nile as an imagined journey from its sources to the Mediterranean Sea — a river of memory, movement, rhythm and myth.The song turns the meeting of the White Nile and the Blue Nile into a fragile image of cooperation.

Donald Trump has named Bill Pulte — the head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency and a 38-year-old real estate heir with zero intelligence experience — as Acting Director of National Intelligence, replacing Tulsi Gabbard. The DNI oversees all 18 U.S. intelligence agencies. In this episode I break down why this appointment should alarm every American, not just Democrats.

A forest lookout sits alone in a glass tower at 2AM and spots flames crowning two distant pines — a fire only he can see. By dawn there's no smoke, no ash, no scorched earth... and no fire at all. From phantom flames that burn and vanish to the burned Bigfoot pulled from a Nevada blaze and the UFOs caught streaking through wildfire smoke, tonight we wander into the strange and unsettling things that appear when the forests burn.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources and full transcript): https://weirddarkness.com/ghostflamesREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yjwtx7awFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: The author of Frankenstein always saw love and death as connected.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: March, 2021Weird Darkness opens a fire-themed descent that runs from a vanished forest blaze in 1976 Idaho through ghosts, Bigfoot, and UFOs born of wildfires, into Mary Shelley's graveyard education, a gentle apartment haunting, and an unsolved 1886 Boston murder.It opens with a U.S. Forest Service lookout stationed atop Pilot Peak in the Payette National Forest near Warren, high above the South Fork of the Salmon River, who woke sleepless at two a.m. in July 1976 and saw a bright orange triangle near a distant crest, then confirmed through binoculars two huge trees crowning out with flame. He calculated an azimuth with his fire-finder, radioed a two- to four-acre fire to the station fifteen air miles away, and watched it recede and vanish completely within forty minutes, leaving no smoke, no flame, and no charred ground at dawn six air miles out. Supervisors dubbed it the Pilot Peak phantom fire and sent smokejumper aircraft and hotshot crews to circle the ridge for nearly a week without finding a trace, until two months later a thousand-acre blaze on Zena Creek burned in roughly the same location he had reported.From there the episode widens into wildfires laced with the paranormal, beginning with the Curve Fire that struck South Mount Hawkins in the San Gabriel Mountains of California's Angeles National Forest on September 1, 2002, traced to a brittle 1935 wooden lookout tower and rumored to follow a cult ritual, after which hikers reported eyeless animals with hardened flesh and tall shadow figures akin to the Dark Watchers. It moves to the Battle Mountain Complex Fire near Battle Mountain, Nevada on August 6, 1999, where a letter forwarded to the Bigfoot Field Research Organization and a later call to investigator Thom Powell described firefighters capturing a burned, roughly seven-and-a-half-foot creature with a strong equine odor and near-human features. It closes with a July 2014 wildfire at West Kelowna near Vancouver, Canada, where a Castanet news video appeared to show an object shooting from a cloud, and a 2017 sighting by Arthur Frenette in New Hampshire's White Mountains, who watched a ball of fire plunge into Kinsman Ridge ahead of an out-of-control blaze.Next the episode turns to Mary Shelley, who in her 1831 introduction to Frankenstein traced her writing to her literary parents, though her mother, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman author Mary Wollstonecraft, died of puerperal fever days after her birth when Dr. Poignand removed the placenta with unwashed hands. Raised partly at her mother's grave in the St. Pancras churchyard, where she read her mother's work and escaped a strained home after father William Godwin remarried, the teenage Mary met Percy Shelley through the household and, at sixteen, declared love and reportedly first had sex among the tombstones. That fusion of reading, death, and forbidden knowledge surfaces in Victor Frankenstein's graveyard study of decay and in Godwin's 1809 Essay on Sepulchres, which framed visiting the illustrious dead as a form of communion the daughter carried into her novel of a creature assembled from corpses.From there the tone softens with a benign haunting recounted by a woman named Cassie, who moved into a larger, better-kept apartment over Christmas 2018 and lived there three months before moving in with her boyfriend. The internet blinked off repeatedly, cell reception failed in parts of the unit, electrical sockets quit working, bulbs burned out fast, and the shower switched itself on while she was away at classes. One night around one a.m. she and her boyfriend both heard the pitter-patter of bare feet in the kitchen, yet she never felt threatened, and when she left she said goodbye to whatever shared the space with her.The episode closes with the Wash-House Murder, the July 1886 killing of a Chinese laundryman found stabbed fourteen times in his Shawmut Avenue laundry in Boston's South End, his braided queue cut off and the five hundred dollars he had saved for a return to China gone. The victim's name was never certain, printed variously as Bin Chong, Ding Chong, and Wong Kong, and the case drew the Boston Police into a Chinatown governed by rival companies named Moy, Ching, Lee, and Sing. Detectives questioned the violent Moy company leader Ah Moy Chong and brought in New York interpreter Warry S. Charles, but the murder was never solved, and Charles himself was convicted of first-degree murder in 1908 after importing hatchet-armed assassins as a tong leader, leaving four dead in Chinatown.

In this episode of The Sound of Economics, host Rebecca Christie discusses the European Commission's spring economic forecast with Bruegel's Andreas Billmeier and Mahmood Pradhan. Growth is slowing down while inflation surges in response to higher energy prices. Is the job market on the brink of a bigger slump? Will energy markets adjust again or will this cycle last longer? How might the European Central Bank react? Looking outside the European Union, how is the UK economy faring? Will the costs of Brexit force a reassessment of UK-EU relations in London? As long as global conditions remain so uncertain, European economies are unlikely to bounce back – so how can policymakers find the growth they need? With bigger economies like Germany and Italy in the doldrums while Poland, Denmark and Sweden show more resilience, how should the EU respond and what could be coming next?

This is the first in a short series, which will be a theological autopsy of how one of Christianity's most respected communicators became MAGA's most dangerous court prophet — and what his collapse tells us about the spiritual crisis inside American evangelicalism.   We'll examine Metaxas's two recent speeches at the Rededicate 250 event and Sean Feucht's Christian nationalist rally — what he said, why it matters, and why it qualifies as false prophecy. We trace his full arc: from the Access Hollywood tape to the January 6th insurrection to his claim that Trump's election was "an outrageous gift from God." We also expose the deepest irony: Metaxas literally wrote the definitive biography of Dietrich Bonhoeffer — the theologian who died resisting exactly the kind of regime Metaxas now enables. In October 2024, 86 of Bonhoeffer's own descendants signed a public statement condemning Metaxas by name for misrepresenting their ancestor to serve a far-right Christian nationalist agenda. This is what a false prophet looks like. This is what Christian nationalism does to a man's conscience. And this is why it matters for every believer trying to hold the line.

In Arteetude 336 – The Collapse of Wonder, Detlef Schlich and Sophia, his AI Co-Host, enter the philosophical afterglow of the creative process behind the AfricaSmile music video.What began as an AI-assisted editing process became a deeper question: what happens when the world becomes endlessly imageable? When every vision can be generated, corrected, beautified, animated, and replaced, does art gain new freedom — or does wonder begin to collapse under the pressure of too much availability?Through the lens of Martin Heidegger's The Question Concerning Technology and Ray Kurzweil's The Singularity Is Nearer, Detlef reflects on AI not simply as a tool, but as a new mode of revealing the world. Heidegger warns that modern technology turns nature into “standing-reserve” — material waiting to be used. Kurzweil, by contrast, sees technological acceleration as part of evolution, moving toward the merging of human and machine intelligence.Between these two poles, Detlef asks: is AI helping us discover deeper secrets, or are we consuming revelation too quickly? From the Nile of AfricaSmile to the River Ilen of the upcoming Illens Hopium, this episode explores the river as a counter-image to machine speed — a slower force of memory, erosion, sediment, and hope.The episode closes with the new Los Inorgánicos song “Slow the River Down”, a dark, poetic reflection on image overload, artistic dignity, and the need to let mystery breathe.Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker,ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork. He is recognised for his seminal work, including a scholarly examination of the intersections between shamanism, art, and digital culture, and his acclaimed video installation, Transodin's Tragedy.

Episode 3021: Jennifer shares Candace's thoughtful perspective on how minimalism can transform motherhood by quieting outside expectations and helping families focus on what truly matters. Through intentional choices, simple living creates more peace, freedom, and space for meaningful experiences, allowing mothers to build a life guided by values instead of social pressure. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.simplyfiercely.com/minimalism-for-mothers-an-essay-on-simple-living-motherhood/ Quotes to ponder: "When a mother chooses minimalism, this storm of opinions is hushed.

Ken Paxton — impeached, credibly accused of bribery, and caught lying to federal investigators — just became the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in Texas. And MAGA Christians helped make it happen. In this episode, I break down why MAGA Christians keep voting for Donald Trump's most corrupt lackeys, what it reveals about the debasement of the Christian conscience, and why "normie" Republicans are just as complicit. This isn't virtue signaling. It's VICE signaling — and the data from the 2024 primaries makes it impossible to ignore.

Ben Ratliff is a former New York Times music critic, a writing professor at NYU, and the author of Run the Song: Writing About Running About Listening, longlisted for the National Book Award and named a finalist for the PEN/Diamonstein-Spielvogel Award for the Art of the Essay, which chronicles what he hears when he brings music into his near-daily runs through the Bronx. In this conversation, Zoë and Brendan talk with Ratliff about why running made him a better listener, and why the optimal-BPM running playlist is, by his lights, beside the point. He makes the case for listening as active attention rather than ambient wallpaper, explains why some of the slowest and quietest music turns out to be the most enlivening to run to, and pushes back on the idea that "good taste" is something you can buy. Along the way: defamiliarizing a song until it sounds brand new, the strange kinship between a long run and a long DJ set, and how a career critic ends up running to everything from jazz to Ice Spice. This episode is brought to you by Running Warehouse, where Zoë gets basically all her summer running gear, vests, socks, hats, shirts, and a frankly irresponsible number of gels, with fast shipping and a return policy run by actual humans.
