Historically Thinking: Conversations about historical knowledge and how we achieve it
Peter J. Ortiz was one of the most decorated United States Marines of the Second World War—and he served in the European Theater. In fact, his service was almost entirely within occupied France, where he worked for the Office of Strategic Services as the manager of a resistance network and later as the leader of a (sort of) Jedburgh Team. The stories of his exploits are legendary, though admittedly legendary among a much smaller circle of people than they deserve to be. One that can be verified is the time that, in a French bar, Ortiz ordered a round of drinks for a group of German officers, opened his raincoat to reveal his Marine uniform, drew two pistols, and ordered the Germans to drink toasts to President Roosevelt and the United States Marine Corps.That and many other tales of his winding career are to be found in Ortiz's War: The Allies' Secret Weapon Against the Nazis in France, a new book by Nicholas Reynolds and Katie Sanders.

Today's crypto market is quiet, but it is not calm in a healthy way. Bitcoin is sitting around $64K ahead of the July CPI report, with perpetual trading activity at its lowest level since 2023 and volatility still compressed. The market is waiting for a macro catalyst, but underneath the surface, traders are cautious, altcoins are fragile, and sell pressure from public miners remains a real issue.The biggest security story is Harmony. The project confirmed an exploit where an attacker minted roughly 4 billion ONE tokens, equal to more than a quarter of the supply. ONE fell around 40%, exchanges were asked to freeze funds, and Harmony is now looking at emergency fixes and possible rollback options. That is not just a hack. That is a monetary-integrity failure.On the institutional side, Fidelity is moving to add staking and quarterly cash payouts to its nearly $900 million Ether ETF. That is a major step toward yield-bearing Ethereum ETFs. At the same time, public Bitcoin miners have sold about 28,000 BTC this year, worth roughly $1.78 billion, adding another layer of selling pressure to the market.Regulation is also busy. Russia wants retail crypto trading limited to Bitcoin, Ether, and USDT. The Bank of England is testing how stablecoins and a potential digital pound could work together in trade finance. The CFTC is fighting New York to keep Kalshi operating, while FlightAware dropped its separate lawsuit against Kalshi after just one day.The core theme today: Bitcoin is stuck in hibernation, but the rest of crypto is not quiet. Exploits, regulation, tokenized finance, Ethereum staking, and AI competition are all moving while BTC waits for CPI. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
When we're stuck in a low-volatility range and the charts are just going sideways, it's easy for people to lose patience, trade out of boredom, and start making mountains out of molehills. To help cut through the noise with a steady pair of hands, Pav is joined by Trader Travis, founder of The Crypto Mastermind, one of the longest-running crypto communities in the world. Travis and Pav hash out the recent ColdCard wallet exploit and what it actually means for self-custody right now. They dig into how market narratives have shifted away from over-promised tech toward meme coins and fresh volume in ecosystems like Hyperliquid, Robinhood, and Solana. Plus, Travis breaks down his level-to-level DCA strategy, how to avoid taking unnecessary paper cuts during boring market phases, and a few key tax considerations so you don't burn your capital when conditions get tricky. You'll hear: 00:00 Pav welcomes OG community founder Trader Travis to discuss keeping cool during market lulls. 02:57 Unpacking open-source security risks and how investors should approach self-custody. 10:41 Why meme coins took over after failed tech promises and where trading volume is shifting now. 14:18 How Travis spots active trading ecosystems using chart volume over Twitter hype. 15:24 A simple, disciplined framework for buying support levels instead of chasing weekend pumps. 18:03 Why sideways markets punish emotional traders and how self-awareness prevents forced losses. 22:29 Important considerations on tax changes, portfolio losses, and long-term investing vs. active trading. … and much more!

Known for his fantastical adventures, the outrageous tall tales of Baron Munchausen are being brought to Russian-speaking theatre audiences in Auckland.
Free-market capitalism is often portrayed as a system that exploits workers, enriches the powerful, and leaves ordinary people behind. Critics argue it rewards greed over people and creates opportunity only for those already at the top. The message is repeated so often that many simply accept it as fact. But what if the opposite is true? In today's episode of This Week's Economy, we're examining one of the most overlooked ideas in economics: how free markets uplift everyday people. We'll explore how free-market capitalism disperses economic power across millions of individuals instead of concentrating it in the hands of government, creating opportunities for workers, entrepreneurs, and consumers alike. Rather than promising equal outcomes, free markets create the conditions for greater opportunity, rising living standards, and the freedom to build a better life.Listen to the full episode on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, or Spotify, and visit my website for more information about Ginn Economic Consulting.

There are many hero myths the world over, but they tend to share common features. In Greek mythology and epic, there was an earlier, greater generation of heroes before the Trojan War heroes. The exploits of Perseus, the first of these.
How does the situation keep turning out to be worse than we know? How much should we update, therefore, that it is a lot worse than we know, after accounting for all the things we now know? At some point, when the ‘oh this was a harmless thing' defenses for AIs doing misaligned actions get demolished enough times in a row by news a few days later, you want to update in advance that usually the reports are not referring to the harmless ordinary versions of things. Either way, buckle up for the next set of revelations. It's a doozy. This was an early recreation of the triggering events of If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies, except it was more sci-fi, because real life does not have to do fake things to look realistic. We were fortunate enough, and this was early enough, that we were able to catch this before it was too late. Next time, if we don't get our act together, we might not be so lucky.

It's an Emmajority Report Thursday on The Majority Report On today's program: In the Wake of Abdul El-Sayed's winning the Democratic nomination for Senate in Michigan, the GOP-machine's Islamophobia is reaching a fever pitch. El-Sayed's GOP opponent Mike Rogers tries to tie the Democratic nominee to Osama Bin Laden in his opening statement to kick off the general election. NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani is asked about Speaker Mike Johnson's comments on El-Sayed's victory on Tuesday putting the U.S. in danger of being overrun by "mini-Mamdani's'. Zohran says if El-Sayed's campaign promises of "money out of politics, money in your pocket and Medicare for all" are scary then that shows just how out-of-touch the Republican party is with the concerns of the working class. Stephen Zunes, Professor of Politics and Director of Middle Eastern Studies at the University of San Francisco, joins to discuss his piece in The Nation: "The Real Story Behind the Human Wave That Entered Ceuta." For more from Professor Zunes, check out his most recent book, coauthored with Jacob Mundy: Western Sahara: War, Nationalism, and Conflict Irresolution. Murtaza Hussain, covering national security and global affairs at Drop Site News, joins to discuss his piece: "For Your Eyes Only: Israel's Mole Inside the United Nations" In the Fun Half: Brandon Sutton joins. Chris Rabb changes Sean Hannity's name to Scott and then humiliates him in a debate over his platform. Democratic nominee for U.S. House of Representatives in Michigan's 13 district, Donovan McKinney speaks to the Wall Street Journal about how he is fine with being labeled a Socialist. McKinney points out that although Trump is very unpopular the Democratic party remains even more unpopular because people want champions and fighters for the working class. Donald Trump is wearing a wig; Brandon disagrees but he is wrong. At a Trump event in Nevada, Governor Joe Lombardo tries to initiate a moment of silence for a slain Cop but the cattle in the crowd heard his surname 'Abdelnabi' and instinctually start booing. Stephen Miller has a meltdown on Scott Hannity's show as he tries to fearmonger the geriatric audience with Hasan Piker's comment on America "deserving" 9/11. As Stephen Miller and Scott Hannity feign heavy hearts over 9/11, we take a look at the 16-year history of Republicans trying to block healthcare for September 11 victims and first responders. all that and more.

At least 17 people were killed and more than 40 injured in another round of deadly Russian strikes on the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv. Volodymyr Zelenskyy has pleaded for more air defence weapons, saying ballistic missile interceptors ‘could have saved the lives of those killed today'. For months, Ukraine has been warning about shortages after Donald Trump backtracked on his promise to let Ukraine manufacture missiles locally. In response to the attack, the EU's Ursula von der Leyen said ‘Russia must pay' – but will it? Lucy Hough talks to the Guardian's Russia affairs correspondent, Pjotr Sauer.

Does restricting frontier AI in the name of safety actually make us less secure? Joshua Saxe joins me to make the case that it does, and that AI cybersecurity will be won through defender adoption, not restriction.Josh has spent 15 years at the intersection of AI and security. He built and ran the machine learning program at Sophos, then led security for Llama at Meta, covering security post training, evals, agent guardrails, and prompt injection prevention. He recently left to co-found a startup reimagining vulnerability and exposure management agentically. He also writes one of the most cited blogs on AI and cyber policy.In this episode:- Why restricting frontier model access harms defenders more than attackers- How monitored closed models put threat actors at a structural disadvantage- The jagged frontier, and why attackers don't need frontier models for most of their tradecraft- The national security and supply chain risks of pushing the world onto Chinese open weights models- Why exploits don't cause cyberattacks, and which attacker constituencies AI actually unblocks- The dual use ceiling on guardrails and classifiers- Where defenders should be adopting AI right now, from access management to SOC automation- Using agents to burn down the mountain of security technical debtChapters:0:00 Intro0:42 Josh's background, from blackhat teen to Llama security lead3:07 The case for diffusion over restriction6:14 Why restriction hurts defenders more than attackers10:19 The jagged frontier and what attackers actually use models for12:49 National security and the supply chain risk of Chinese open weights16:08 Exploits don't cause cyberattacks20:20 Where defenders should adopt AI right now24:20 Guardrails, classifiers, and the dual use problem27:34 Reimagining vulnerability management with agents32:17 The structural advantage defenders hold35:15 Policy wishes and the attacker's Claude Code momentFollow Josh:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshua-saxe-01845a1Substack: https://joshuasaxe181906.substack.comFollow Resilient Cyber:Substack: https://www.resilientcyber.ioSubscribe for more conversations with security practitioners and leaders.#aisecurity #cybersecurity #vulnerabilitymanagement #aipolicy #opensourceai

Le surnom des Capverdiens, les Requins bleus, inspire Wakat Sera au Burkina Faso. « Pour être des requins, ils en ont la voracité, mais sont loin de jouer le football comme des bleus ! » écrit Wakat Sera, qui souligne surtout « un excellent élan collectif de détermination et surtout de performance, qui a fait de ces représentants africains de véritables combattants, sans complexe dans l'arène du Mondial 2026 ». Mais au sein de cette équipe de Requins bleus, un homme attire l'attention : le gardien Vozinha, 40 ans. Le Monde lui consacre un portrait. Celui qui est né en 1986 à Mindelo se nomme en fait Josimar José Évora Dias, Josimar, du nom d'une gloire du foot brésilien qui s'était particulièrement illustré l'année de sa naissance en marquant des buts restés dans les mémoires. Le Monde raconte que Vozinha n'a signé son premier contrat professionnel qu'à l'âge de 25 ans. Un parcours tardif et atypique pour celui dont la mère n'avait pas pu assister au premier match contre l'Espagne la semaine dernière : elle n'avait pas de visa. Mais cette nuit, elle était présente pour le voir briller contre l'Uruguay. Vozinha, une belle histoire de plus en plus suivie sur les réseaux sociaux. Le Monde rapporte qu'avant le match, son compte Instagram comptait 50 000 abonnés, il en compte désormais plus de 15 millions. Rapprochement entre le Bénin et le Niger Toute autre chose, dans La Nouvelle Tribune : le rapprochement entre le Bénin et le Niger. Depuis plusieurs semaines, les deux pays multiplient les gestes amicaux. « Les nuages sombres qui stagnaient depuis plusieurs mois au-dessus du fleuve Niger commencent enfin à se dissiper », écrit La Nouvelle Tribune. Entre Cotonou et Niamey, le dégel diplomatique n'est plus une simple intention pieuse, mais une réalité qui se matérialise jour après jour. Le journaliste note que « tout processus de réconciliation solide repose sur l'empathie ». Pourquoi ce commentaire ? Parce que la semaine dernière, après la nouvelle attaque jihadiste contre l'aéroport de Niamey, « les autorités béninoises ont immédiatement réagi en exprimant leur profonde compassion et leur solidarité indéfectible envers le peuple nigérien ». Bien plus que du protocole, estime le journal, pour qui « la paix des braves n'est pas une capitulation d'un camp face à l'autre, mais le triomphe de la diplomatie, de la raison et des intérêts des peuples. Le chemin est encore jalonné de défis, mais la volonté politique, elle, semble désormais inébranlable ». En Éthiopie, un nouveau succès électoral pour le Premier ministre Les instances électorales ont publié hier soir les résultats des élections législatives d'il y a trois semaines, et c'est une nette victoire pour le Parti de la prospérité du Premier ministre sortant Abiy Ahmed : il remporte 438 des 486 sièges attribués dans la nouvelle Assemblée, soit 90 % des sièges. Le Monde lui consacre un portrait. Ce n'est pas le premier portrait d'Abiy Ahmed, prix Nobel de la paix 2019, l'homme est déjà bien connu, mais le journal rappelle comment il est passé « de réformateur adulé par la communauté internationale à chef de guerre ». C'est le titre de ce portrait signé par la correspondante du quotidien français à Addis-Abeba, Maëlle Duhamel. Elle y cite cet habitant de la capitale qui se souvient de l'arrivée au pouvoir d'Abiy Ahmed en 2018 : « Un Oromo à la tête du pays, c'était énorme. Et j'étais vraiment séduit par cet homme qui nous promettait une Éthiopie unie et du changement. L'étau se desserrait. Pour la première fois, on se sentait libre ». La journaliste rappelle aussi l'Abiymania qui s'était alors emparée d'une communauté internationale ravie de se débarrasser d'un régime dominé par le Front de libération du peuple du Tigré et ses valeurs marxistes. S'ensuivra, en 2022 au Tigré, ce qui sera qualifié de nettoyage ethnique par Human Rights Watch, et des soutiens internationaux qui s'effritent. Mais ces derniers mois, ces soutiens reviennent, une réhabilitation à mettre sur le compte, estime Le Monde, des bons résultats économiques de l'Éthiopie d'Abiy Ahmed. « Quand les fêtes religieuses révèlent les fractures sociales » Afrik.com enfin met l'accent sur une douloureuse question de société au Bénin : « Quand les fêtes religieuses révèlent les fractures sociales », titre le site. Un sujet qui concerne toutes les confessions. À chaque Tabaski, à chaque Noël, à chaque Ramadan, à chaque célébration du Vodun, deux réalités coexistent souvent dans le même espace national. Afrik.com décrit « ces pères de famille qui parcourent les marchés dans un silence lourd, calculant mentalement ce qu'ils ne pourront finalement pas acheter, alors que des mères dissimulent leur inquiétude derrière des sourires de circonstance pour empêcher leurs enfants de comprendre que cette année encore, la fête sera modeste ». Car il y a ceux qui peuvent célébrer dans l'abondance et ceux qui doivent se serrer la ceinture. « Dans plusieurs pays d'Afrique de l'Ouest, l'inflation alimentaire continue d'aggraver ces déséquilibres », pointe le journal. « Les grandes fêtes religieuses rappellent chaque année une vérité essentielle : une société ne se mesure pas uniquement à la richesse qu'elle produit, mais aussi à sa capacité à empêcher que certains vivent la joie collective comme une douleur personnelle ». Afrik.com estime que les différences religieuses doivent devenir des occasions de fraternité et être ainsi des actes silencieux de construction nationale.

Patrick K. O'Donnell details the exploits of Richard Blazer, the brilliant leader of the Blazer Scouts, the Union's first modern hunter-killer team. Operating in the rugged terrain of West Virginia, Blazer utilized detective work and lightning raids to hunt Confederate partisans. His primary adversaries were the Thurman brothers, ruthless "bushwhackers" who targeted Union supply lines and often executed prisoners. Under General Averell, Blazer's team integrated tradecraft from the Jesse Scouts to protect vital B&O railroad lines and conduct crucial battlefield reconnaissance to support Union Army raids against Confederate logistics.

Many Australian businesses are allegedly registering employees as contractors to avoid paying legally required benefits, including superannuation, leave entitlements and insurance. Members of the Punjabi community have also been caught up in this illegal practice, known as ‘sham contracting'. A major new national report has found that young and newly arrived migrants, often unaware of the legal and financial differences between a TFN and an ABN, are among the most vulnerable. The ATO and Fair Work Ombudsman are now stepping up enforcement and warning employers of tougher penalties. - ਤਾਜ਼ਾ ਖੋਜ ਅਤੇ ਸਰਕਾਰੀ ਜਾਂਚਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਸਾਹਮਣੇ ਆਇਆ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਆਸਟ੍ਰੇਲੀਆ ਵਿੱਚ ‘ਸ਼ੈਮ ਕੰਟਰੈਕਟਿੰਗ' ਦੇ ਮਾਮਲੇ ਤੇਜ਼ੀ ਨਾਲ ਵੱਧ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ, ਜਿੱਥੇ ਕਈ ਕਾਰੋਬਾਰ ਕਰਮਚਾਰੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਗਲਤ ਤਰੀਕੇ ਨਾਲ ਠੇਕੇਦਾਰ ਵਜੋਂ ਦਰਜ ਕਰ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ। ਰਿਪੋਰਟਾਂ ਮੁਤਾਬਕ ਨੌਜਵਾਨ ਅਤੇ ਨਵੇਂ ਆਏ ਪਰਵਾਸੀ, ਖਾਸ ਕਰਕੇ ਉਹ ਜੋ TFN ਅਤੇ ABN ਦੇ ਕਾਨੂੰਨੀ ਅੰਤਰਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਅਣਜਾਣ ਹਨ, ਇਸ ਸ਼ੋਸ਼ਣ ਦਾ ਵੱਧ ਨਿਸ਼ਾਨਾ ਬਣ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ। ATO ਅਤੇ ਫੇਅਰ ਵਰਕ ਨੇ ਚੇਤਾਵਨੀ ਦਿੱਤੀ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਅਜਿਹੇ ਗੈਰ ਕਾਨੂੰਨੀ ਅਭਿਆਸਾਂ ਖ਼ਿਲਾਫ਼ ਕਾਰਵਾਈ ਹੋਰ ਸਖ਼ਤ ਕੀਤੀ ਜਾਵੇਗੀ।

Joel argues that advances in AI will make vulnerability discovery faster and more effective, forcing all crypto projects—including Monero—to rethink long-held security assumptions. The conversation examines how the Zcash team handled the exploit, the risks of hidden inflation bugs, and the unique challenges privacy-focused cryptocurrencies face when auditing supply and security.

Joe Lubin makes the bull case for Ethereum amid a sea of bearishness. The panel dissects Saylor selling Bitcoin for the first time in four years, the meaning behind 9 senior EF departures, Justin Drake's Q-Day call (50% by 2032), Manuel Araoz declaring all of DeFi unsafe, the ThorChain hack fallout, the Zama/Overnight Finance USDC freeze saga, and the CFTC greenlighting the first US perpetual futures product. Welcome to The Chopping Block — where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week Joe Lubin is stepping in to make the bull case for ETH on what he admits is a tough day to be bullish. We open on Strategy's first Bitcoin sale in four years and whether the STRC preferred stock structure is "an algorithmic stablecoin with too many steps," as Tarun puts it. Joe pivots to pitching Ether DATs, then we get into the Ethereum Foundation's brain drain -- nine researchers gone, CROPS as the new mandate, and a mysterious new developer organization taking shape behind the scenes. The episode's meatiest block covers DeFi security: Justin Drake warns Q-Day is 50% likely by 2032, Manuel Araoz says all of DeFi is unsafe, ThorChain's been offline for two weeks post-hack, and the panel debates whether we're entering a rough 12-24 months where attackers outrun defenders. We close on Hyperliquid's all-time highs and the CFTC opening the door to US perps.

4. Antony commits a fatal "unforced error" by divorcing Octavia in 33 BC. Octavian exploits this for propaganda, framing Antony as a traitor who abandoned his Roman wife for an Egyptian queen. Antony views the divorce as a "credible commitment" to show his supporters he will never compromise with Octavian. Despite warnings from generals like Ahenobarbus to leave Cleopatra behind, Antony keeps her and her treasury close for the coming conflict. This allow Octavian to present the war not as a civil struggle, but as a crusade to save Rome from "un-Roman" Eastern influences. (4)
