We've both loved this movie for years, and thought discussing it would serve as a companion of sorts to our interview with Jason Zengerle about Tucker Carlson—and, of course, as a chance for us to geek out about it. After describing the basics of the plot and introducing the main characters, we explore the history of the New Republic under its then-owner and editor in chief Marty Peretz; its string of young, Harvard educated editors during the Peretz Era, who often had short, turbulent stints in that role; fact-checking and the mythos of objective journalism; the relationship between elite magazine writing and celebrity culture during "the end of history"; and more.Sources:Shattered Glass (2003)Buzz Bissinger, "Shattered Glass," Vanity Fair, Sept 1998Howard Kurtz, "Stranger Than Fiction: The Cautionary Tale of Magazine Writer Stephen Glass," Washington Post, May 12, 1998Jonathan Last, "Stopping Stephen Glass," Weekly Standard, Oct 30, 2003Pete Croatto, "Why ‘Shattered Glass' Endures," Poynter, Jan 24, 2024Martin Peretz, The Controversialist: Arguments with Everyone, Left Right and Center (2023)Benjamin Wallace-Wells, "Peretz in Exile," New York, Dec 23, 2010John Cook, "Why Won't Anyone Tell You That Marty Peretz Is Gay?"

The Ecosystem of Exile Politics: Why Proximity and Precarity Matter for Bhutan's Homeland Activists (Cornell UP, 2024), relays the events in Bhutan that led to the exodus of one-sixth of the population, and then recounts the activism by Bhutan's refugee diaspora that followed in response. Susan Banki asserts that activism functions like a physical ecosystem, in which hubs of activism in different locations interact to pressure the home country. For Bhutan's refugee mobilizers, physical proximity offers advantages in Nepal and India, where organizing protests, lobbying, and collecting information about government abuse in Bhutan is aided by being close to the homeland. But in an ecosystem of exile politics, proximity is both a boon and a bane. Sites proximate to Bhutan can be spaces of risk and disempowerment, and refugee activists rarely secure legal, political, and social protection. While distant diasporas in the Global North may not be in precarious situations, they cannot tap into the advantages of proximity. In examining these phenomena, The Ecosystem of Exile Politics adds to theoretical understandings of exile politics and to empirical research on Bhutan and its refugee population. Susan Banki is an Associate Professor at the University of Sydney. She studies the political, institutional, and social contexts that explain the roots of and solutions to human rights violations and social justice abuses, with a specific focus on the Asia-Pacific region.

What does it mean to belong when the very idea of home is under threat? In this episode we're joined by award-winning author and political thinker Ece Temelkuran. Forced into exile for her critical views of President Erdoğan, Temelkuran has long signalled the alarm that fascism threatens not only her home country Türkiye, but the whole democratic world. Her first book in English, How to Lose a Country, received international praise. Her second, Together, offers ‘a way out from the political and moral insanity' that is ushered by the global rise of fascism. Now Temelkuran joins host Mythili Rao to discuss her new book, Nation of Strangers, a powerful and personal reappraisal of the concept of exile, migration and rebuilding home in the 21st century. Increasingly, oppression seems to be spreading, institutions crumbling, and certainties dissolving. Across the world, the number of refugees and exiles, the dispossessed and displaced, the politically homeless and economically excluded is growing. In response, Nation of Strangers takes the form of intimate, urgent letters written from one stranger to another, exploring alienation, resistance, solidarity and hope.

In this Jewish Inspiration Podcast episode (Day 126), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues the Gate of Truth (Sha'ar HaEmes) from Orchos Tzaddikim, stressing that truth is the core of God, the soul, and Jewish destiny in exile. Key teachings:Prolonged exile due to sins — Current long exile stems from Jewish sins; we must separate from worldly vanities and cling to Hashem's seal—truth.Sanctify through truth — Abstain even from permissible things to avoid any trace of falsehood (97% truth = 100% false); never lie or mislead Jew or Gentile in any matter.Exile for converts — Hashem scattered Jews among nations to add gerim (converts); honest dealings inspire non-Jews to join (Midrash: “I will sow her for Myself in the land” = exile brings converts).Return stolen items — Stories of Rabbi Shimon ben Shetach returning a precious stone in a donkey purchase, and sages returning money found in wheat—Gentiles proclaimed “Blessed is the God of the Jews.” Sanctification of God's Name through honesty.Reward of truth — Truth sprouts from earth; righteousness looks down from heaven (Psalms 85:12). Truthful living glorifies Hashem and draws divine favor.Wicked rewarded in this world — Hashem pays wicked for minor merits now to destroy them eternally (Deuteronomy); better for righteous to suffer briefly here and receive eternal reward in Olam Haba.Practical application — Cling to truth in all dealings; exile teaches separation from falsehood and reliance on Hashem alone.The rabbi reflects on modern parallels (antisemitism, unity in crises like Nachshon Waxman) and urges living truthfully to hasten redemption—Moshiach comes when truth prevails.

Princess Eugenie made her first public appearance since the latest Epstein document dump, popping up at a high end art fair in Doha with friend Caroline Daur, who posted a photo and wrote it had “been too long.” Back in Britain, Thames Valley Police confirmed it is reviewing a complaint from Republic and also assessing a separate allegation that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor assaulted a woman trafficked by Epstein at Royal Lodge, claims Andrew denies. New emails in the files suggest Epstein's circle worried about what Sarah Ferguson's longtime aide Johnny O'Sullivan might reveal, as Andrew Lownie warns that if charges ever came, Andrew could bolt to a non extradition safe haven. There's also fresh eyebrow raising chatter over Andrew keeping the late Queen's corgis, and a RadarOnline report claiming the renewed scandal is grinding down King Charles as he continues cancer treatment. Plus, Princess Anne gets a surprise stadium ovation at a Six Nations match in Italy.Palace Intrigue is your daily royal family podcast, diving deep into the modern-day drama, power struggles, and scandals shaping the future of the monarchy."Crown and Controversy: Norway" is covering the trial of Marius Borg Høiby as the Norwegian Royal Family is faced with multiple scandals of their own.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

After the Second Temple falls in 70 CE, the Jewish story shifts from sovereignty to survival--and Zion becomes a memory, haunted by absence and carried through exile. In Part 2 of this five-part series on the history of Israel, Noam Weissman traces the path from the Bar Kokhba revolt and Rome's crushing response to the rise of rabbinic Judaism, the Talmud, and the rituals that kept Jerusalem alive in daily Jewish life. From Jewish life under early Islam through the trauma of the Crusades and centuries of persecution, a radical idea quietly takes hold: Zion is not only a direction of prayer, but a destination—first imagined by mystics and dreamers This episode of Unpacking Israeli History is generously sponsored by Debra and Avi Naider and Jody and Ari Storch.

When asked about Prince Andrew's exile from royal life and the Epstein scandal that forced King Charles to strip his brother of his military titles and patronages, Donald Trump struck a tone of sympathy — not for the victims, but for the Windsors. Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump said, “I feel very badly. It's a terrible thing that's happened to the family. That's been a tragic situation. It's too bad. I mean, I feel badly for the family.” In classic Trump fashion, the comments came off as tone-deaf, framing the ordeal as a misfortune that befell the royals rather than a reckoning for Andrew's own actions or associations. He offered no mention of Virginia Giuffre, the survivors, or the broader scandal surrounding Epstein's network — only sorrow for the House of Windsor's discomfort.The remarks were quickly criticized as another example of Trump's tendency to sympathize with power over accountability. Rather than condemning Andrew's behavior or the pattern of privilege that shielded him for years, Trump painted the royals as victims of circumstance — as if Andrew had simply stumbled into bad luck rather than disgrace of his own making. His comments echoed the same populist-elite paradox that defines his persona: railing against “the establishment” while showing deference to its crowned members when they fall. For many observers, the takeaway was clear — once again, Trump's empathy seemed to extend only upward, toward the powerful, not toward the people whose lives were destroyed by Epstein and the system that protected him.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Trump says he feels 'badly' for royal family over Andrew-Epstein scandal

Zechariah 1:7-4:14
Paris, 1871. The city is under siege. The government has fallen. And in the heart of the chaos, one woman stands defiant with a rifle in hand. Welcome to Louise Michel: The Fearless Revolutionary of the Paris Commune, an episode of Join Us in France that brings history to life like never before. Listen to this episode ad-free Host Annie Sargent and historian Elyse Rivin dive deep into the dramatic story of the Paris Commune—a radical uprising that shook France to its core. For 72 days in 1871, Paris was ruled not by kings or emperors, but by workers, artists, and revolutionaries. At the center of it all? Louise Michel, a schoolteacher turned anarchist whose courage and conviction made her a legend. This isn't just a history lesson. It's a story of defiance, feminism, and revolution that still echoes today. Louise Michel didn't just witness history—she shaped it. Born in 1830, she grew up with privilege but chose a life of activism. She fought on the barricades, organized ambulance stations during the Bloody Week, and even faced down the French army. When the Commune fell, she was arrested, tried, and exiled to New Caledonia. But exile didn't stop her. She learned the local Kanak language, taught indigenous girls, and even joined a revolt against French colonial rule. Later, she returned to France, where she became a feminist icon, traveling across Europe to spread her radical ideas. Annie and Elyse explore the myths and realities of the Commune, from the so-called Pétroleuses (women accused of burning Paris) to the destruction of landmarks like the Tuileries Palace. They discuss Louise's unlikely survival after being shot in the head, her correspondence with Victor Hugo, and her role in creating the black flag of anarchism. This episode also uncovers the Commune's lasting impact on Paris—from the Mur des Fédérés in Père Lachaise Cemetery to the renamed Square Louise Michel near Sacré-Cœur. But the conversation doesn't stop in the 19th century. After the interview, Annie shares updates on the legacy of the Paris 2024 Olympics and how the Olympic Village in Saint-Denis is transforming into a vibrant new neighborhood. It's a reminder that history isn't just about the past—it's about how we live today. If you love stories of bold women, forgotten revolutions, and the hidden layers of Paris, this episode is for you. Whether you're a history buff, a Francophile, or just curious about the untold stories of France, Louise Michel: The Fearless Revolutionary of the Paris Commune will leave you inspired.

This week on Between Two Beers, we sit down with Cameron George, the CEO of the New Zealand Warriors.Cameron is one of the most influential figures in modern New Zealand sport - and in this conversation, he opens up like never before about the journey that shaped him, and the brutal years that nearly broke the club.We dive deep into the Warriors' extraordinary 1,038-day COVID exile, the personal toll it took on players, staff and families, and how that period ultimately forged the culture and resilience we see in the club today.Cameron reflects on leadership under pressure, the people who carried the organisation through its darkest stretch, and what it takes to build belief inside an NRL club representing an entire country.We also explore his upbringing in rural Australia, his unlikely path through horse racing and governance, his relationship with owner Mark Robinson, and why “people first” has always been at the centre of everything he does.This episode is brought to you by TAB.

Over and over again throughout the Bible, the same pattern occurs:The Lord offers Eden, people rebel and live in Exile, but the Lord continues to offer Eternal Life to those who trust him.Once you see the pattern, you see it everywhere.

Send us a message, so we know what you're thinking!In Season 5 (2025), we talked about how double albums came about, and talked about some of the best double albums of the 70's. This episode, we look at some of the best double albums of the 80's. Our Album You Must Listen to Before You Die is “Out of the Blue”, by ELO. It WAS a huge hit in the 80's. But was it any good? Hmmm. In “Knockin' on Heaven's Door”, we pay tribute to Rob Hirst (Midnight Oil), Ted Egan (a legend of the Northern Territory), and Bob Weir (Grateful Dead) among others. A big episode!

התוכן זה שרבינו גרשום נק' "מאור הגולה" קשור עם ב' תקנותיו שאין לגרש אשה בע"כ ושאין לישא ב' נשים. דבזה "האיר" את בנ"י בגלות, שהרי "אסור" לה' לגרש ח"ו את "אשתו" (בנ"י) בע"כ, והרי יהודי "אינו רוצה להיות נפרד מאלקות", ו"אסור" לו גם לישא "אשה" אחרת על "אשתו" הא'. אלא שאין להסתפק רק בזה שאין "גירושין" ח"ו, אלא צ"ל "חיי הנישואין" באופן ש"שארה כסותה ועונתה לא יגרע" [כמ"ש בראשון דפ' משפטים]. וזה נפעל ע"י תוספת שלום בין איש ואשתו למטה, עי"ז שהבית בנוי על תומ"צ. ואף ששלימות הנישואין תהי' לעת"ל, אבל גם לפני החתונה צריך ה"חתן" לתת מתנות ל"כלה", ובפרט אם עיכוב החתונה הוא "באשמתו" (והיצה"ר הוא א' הדברים שה' "מתחרט עליהם"), ה"ה צריך לזונה כפי יכולתו ומתאים ליחוסה. וזה גופא שהוא צריך לשלם כ"כ "תמיכה" "ידחוף" אותו שיהי' כבר הנישואין בגאולה האמיתית והשלימה מיד ממש.משיחת י"ב תמוז ה'תשכ"ז ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=08-02-2026 Synopsis It is explained in sefarim that the reason Rabbeinu Gershom is called Maor HaGolah (the “Light of the Exile”) is because of his two takanos – that one may not divorce a woman against her will, and that one may not marry two women. With these he illuminated the Jewish people in exile because they forbid Hashem from chas v'shalom “divorcing His wife” (the Jewish people) against her will (and a Jew “does not wish to be separated from G-dliness”), and from “marrying another wife.” However, it is not enough for Hashem to merely not divorce the Jewish people; He must also keep the requirements of marriage: “He shall not diminish her sustenance, her clothing, or her relations” (as the verse states at the beginning of parashas Mishpatim). And this is brought about by the Jewish people increasing in marital harmony down here, by building their homes upon the foundations of Torah and Mitzvos. Although the Nisuin (wedding) will be completed in the future, nevertheless, the groom is obligated even before the wedding to provide the bride with gifts, especially where the wedding is delayed due to his fault” (and the yetzer hara is one of the things for which Hashem is “at fault” and which He “regrets”). Hashem must therefore sustain the Jewish people according to His ability and in a manner fitting for “her lineage,” and the very fact that He must pay so much “support” will compel Him to make the wedding immediately, with the coming of the true and complete Redemption right now.Excerpt from sichah of 12 Tammuz 5727 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=08-02-2026

In October 2025, the final act: King Charles stripped his brother of the title “Prince.” Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, no longer royal in name or status, was banished to a small home on the Sandringham estate. Alone, disgraced, and clinging to memories of power, the former prince now embodied everything the Crown must never become. His story was over — but for the monarchy, survival had come at a heavy cost.Palace Intrigue is your daily royal family podcast, diving deep into the modern-day drama, power struggles, and scandals shaping the future of the monarchy."Crown and Controversy: Norway" is covering the trial of Marius Borg Høiby as the Norwegian Royal Family is faced with multiple scandals of their own.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.
When asked about Prince Andrew's exile from royal life and the Epstein scandal that forced King Charles to strip his brother of his military titles and patronages, Donald Trump struck a tone of sympathy — not for the victims, but for the Windsors. Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump said, “I feel very badly. It's a terrible thing that's happened to the family. That's been a tragic situation. It's too bad. I mean, I feel badly for the family.” In classic Trump fashion, the comments came off as tone-deaf, framing the ordeal as a misfortune that befell the royals rather than a reckoning for Andrew's own actions or associations. He offered no mention of Virginia Giuffre, the survivors, or the broader scandal surrounding Epstein's network — only sorrow for the House of Windsor's discomfort.The remarks were quickly criticized as another example of Trump's tendency to sympathize with power over accountability. Rather than condemning Andrew's behavior or the pattern of privilege that shielded him for years, Trump painted the royals as victims of circumstance — as if Andrew had simply stumbled into bad luck rather than disgrace of his own making. His comments echoed the same populist-elite paradox that defines his persona: railing against “the establishment” while showing deference to its crowned members when they fall. For many observers, the takeaway was clear — once again, Trump's empathy seemed to extend only upward, toward the powerful, not toward the people whose lives were destroyed by Epstein and the system that protected him.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Trump says he feels 'badly' for royal family over Andrew-Epstein scandalBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Molly Roberts, Michael Feinberg, and Troy Edwards to talk through the week's big warrant-related national security news, including:“Tulsi Went Down to Georgia, She Was Looking for a Vote to Steal.” This past week, the FBI executed a warrant to search Fulton County's election center for ballots and equipment related to the 2020 election, with the help of an unlikely senior administration official: Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who was reportedly there in-person at the order of President Trump. Observers are concerned that the search is the beginning of a broader effort to relitigate the 2020 election—especially as Trump calls for Republicans in Congress to “nationalize elections” in advance of the November mid-terms. What do we know about the legal basis for this search? And what does it tell us about what the Trump administration has planned for November?“I Hear the Jury's Still Out on the Fourth Amendment.” Over the past week, whistleblowers have revealed that ICE has issued a series of internal memos to agents advising that they do not need judicial warrants to detain or search the homes of people suspected of being undocumented immigrants. Instead, ICE has attempted to side-step the regular judicial process by suggesting that agents only need an administrative warrant, a controversial move that will almost certainly be challenged in court. What do we think of ICE's decision to shift to such a legally dubious policy, and where do we expect it to go from here?“Ex Post Justification.” Last month, the FBI conducted a search on the home of Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson as part of an investigation into alleged leaks by a Defense Department contractor. During the search, agents seized Natanson's personal and professional devices, which drew concern from media outlets and civil liberty groups over potential First Amendment and privacy violations. A magistrate judge has now ordered that the FBI cannot access Natanson's materials at least for now, while some of these issues are litigated. How should federal law enforcement balance the need to conduct leak investigations with press freedoms? And is this case on the right side of the line?In object lessons, sometimes all you can do is cry: Molly is remembering better days for the Washington Post and mourning the fall of a once-great paper. Sometimes all you can do is get lost in the music: Mike is celebrating the still-great Miles Davis with the long-awaited release of The Complete Miles Davis Live at the Plugged Nickel 1965 on vinyl. Sometimes all you can do is laugh: Scott is delighting in his former State Department colleague's new Substack, Ridiculocracy. And sometimes, all you can do is wear something fabulous: Troy is modeling the new wardrobe must-have for the “Government in Exile.”To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

Featuring: Ace, Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, and Thalen Good Morning Folks! We are down a Tam this week and had some topics that were sitting on our list for a bit. We start off talking about the official end of Anthem and the Mark Darrah video that effectively provides an autopsy for the game. Loosely related, we talk about the impending death of New World in January 2027. This forces us down the path of talking about what the heck even makes an MMO anymore, and how we largely agree that it requires random interaction with other players to count. We decided that the lobby-based games are PSOLikes since the first game we can remember that was that way was Phantasy Star Online on the Dreamcast. From there, we talk a bit about Shape of Dream,s another Roguelike that Ash and Kodra have been playing. Bel shares his thoughts on Legacy of Phrecia 2.0 in Path of Exile, and Kodra shares his endgame thoughts about Path of Exile II. We wrap the show up talking about the impending patch in Guild Wars 2 that is going to add quickplay for raids and the new Fashion Plates adjacent system. Topics Discussed: Anthem is Offline New World will soon Die What Makes an MMORPG PSOLikes Shape of Dreams Path of Exile Legacy of Phrecia 2.0 Path of Exile 2 - Endgame Thoughts Guild Wars 2 Fashion Plates

As the English Civil War ground on and the tides began to turn against the Royalist forces, Charles II decamped to Europe for his own safety. His mother was in Paris, but he also spent a lot of time in The Hague, where his sister Mary was the wife of William II, Prince of Orange.Charles, then still just the Prince of Wales, met a Welsh lass there named Lucy Walter. Lucy had skipped out on the UK to get away from her parents, whose ugly divorce had risen to high scandal, and was hoping to find her fortune - via a husband or lover - in the English Court-in-exile.In May of 1648, Lucy met Charles, and a relatively brief romance transpired, but one that produced Prince Charles's first child. Happily, Charles eagerly acknowledged his son, who would go on to become the Duke of Monmouth. Less happily, agents of English dictator Oliver Cromwell kidnapped the boy for 10 days, and years later, long after the romance was over, his own father would successfully kidnap him to hide him from Cromwell and other dangers.Sadly, Lucy died some time in 1658, and never saw her old flame on the English throne, or her son as a Duke.Listen ad-free at patreon.com/trashyroyalspodcast.To advertise on this podcast, reach out to info@amplitudemediapartners.com.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
