The app-ification of dating has made meeting people even more difficult. But no one ever talks about what comes after: when you are in a relationship with someone, and have brand new digital etiquette to decipher. When do you hard launch? How much should you post each other? And is it really that bad if they're still liking other people's thirst traps? On today's episode, host Kate Lindsay is joined by Slate senior editor Tony Ho Tran, whose long-term relationship took place mainly online before the pair could live in the same place. While there are still plenty of digital minefields out there, could the thing that ruined dating actually be responsible for making relationships…better?This podcast is produced by Vic Whitley-Berry, Daisy Rosario, and Kate Lindsay, with production assistance from Kevin Bendis.

In the mid-1970's, a small college radio station created an evening program catering to a new socioeconomic group referred to as the “new Black middle class.” The show was called “The Quiet Storm” and it grew so popular that an entire genre of music would spring up alongside it. Artists like Anita Baker, Luther Vandross, and many more would find massive success in the genre, performing smooth and sexy songs you could turn on after a long day. Audio producer Christopher Johnson made a piece about The Quiet Storm for the legendary podcast about design 99% Invisible and he joins Anna to talk about why Quiet Storm music will always feel like home to him.You can listen to The Quiet Storm playlist from 99% Invisible here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0cuU6j4C77EEuQDRWEEKFb?si=a2u3yKzLTwqz7cvycywmUw This episode was produced for DSM by Andrew Dunn.

Episode Summary Muck Rack's State of PR 2026 report surveyed 971 PR professionals. Only 18% were solos. The rest were mostly from agencies and in-house teams — which means that when the report says 66% of PR pros rate their stress above five out of ten, or that 55% worked more than 40 hours last week, those numbers were never really measuring a department of one. Karen and Michelle decided to build the solo column themselves. This episode takes three of the report's most significant findings and translates them through the solo lens: first, why the stress and workload data almost certainly understates what solos are experiencing; second, why the industry's move toward volume pitching at the exact moment journalists are demanding relevance is actually good news for solo practitioners who were never going to out-blast a team of account coordinators; and third, why the GEO ownership vacuum — 29% of organizations say no one owns it — is one of the clearest competitive opportunities solos have right now. Karen and Michelle also draw on Muck Rack's companion State of Journalism 2026 report throughout, giving the journalist perspective that makes the pitching data land harder. This is a data-driven, translation episode built for the practitioner the industry keeps forgetting to count. Episode Highlights [00:03] The Opening Question That Frames Everything: Karen opens without a greeting: 'Quick question before we even say hello. Did you read Muck Rack's new State of PR report and feel like it was describing someone else's job?' Michelle's answer: she pored through it, noticed only 18% of respondents were solos, and across every chart — stress, hours, pitching, GEO — there was no solo column. The episode's mission: build that column themselves. [02:17] The Report Was Not Built for You — and the Data Understates Your Load: Karen walks through the report's sample: 971 usable responses, 56% agencies, 18% solo. When the report says 66% rate their stress above five out of ten, or that 77% worked after hours at least once last week — those numbers come largely from people with a team absorbing some of the load: an account coordinator to pick up an email thread, an intern to build the coverage report, a colleague to cover a sick day. There is no chart in this report for running all of those roles simultaneously. [03:43] What Freelance and Creative Industry Research Fills In: Because Muck Rack didn't ask solos specifically, Karen and Michelle pull parallel research from broader freelance and creative industry studies. The finding: the majority of freelancers report burnout symptoms, and a notable share describe energy depletion even when logging fewer hours than a traditional employee. The theory is that when you're responsible for delivery, sales, admin, and income security simultaneously, the load doesn't show up as more hours — it shows up as more weight per hour. Michelle: 'Boy, isn't that the truth.' [05:53] Segment 2: Precision Over Volume — Why Solos Are Already Winning the Pitch Game: 49% of PR pros say they pitch more than 20 journalists per campaign. 24% pitch more than 50. Meanwhile, personalization is moving in the wrong direction: only 66% say they always or usually personalize pitches, down from 70% last year, and 73% of those who do personalize are only changing a few sentences. The trend line: pitch more people, customize less per person. And then the number that should stop everyone doing this cold. [06:56] 88% of Journalists Immediately Delete Irrelevant Pitches: Karen and Michelle pulled Muck Rack's companion State of Journalism 2026 report directly. 88% of journalists say they immediately delete a pitch that is irrelevant to their coverage — the single biggest reason pitches get trashed, ahead of being overly promotional at 71% and looking like a mass email at 50%. And 70% say the number one thing a pitch should demonstrate is clear relevance to their beat — ahead of interview access, data, and everything else. 43% say relevant pitches are seldom or never what they actually receive. A journalist quoted in the open-ended responses: 'Don't pitch widely, pitch selectively and then widen as needed.' [09:42] The Solo Reframe: Your Constraint Is Actually Your Strategy: Karen's line: you were never going to out-blast a team with a subscription database and three account coordinators. You cannot pitch 50 people with real personalization by yourself. But the data shows that is exactly the wrong strategy anyway. The industry is trading relevance for reach at the moment journalists are punishing that trade. What solos assumed was a disadvantage turns out to be pointing them at the right approach by default. It's not that you need a bigger list — you need a sharper one. 15 real relationships outperform 50 cold contacts. [11:53] The GEO Ownership Vacuum Is a Solo Opportunity: 73% of PR pros say GEO is at least somewhat important to their strategy. But 29% — the single largest group — say no one owns it at their organization. Another 13% are not sure who does. PR and comms claim it only 24% of the time. SEO or content teams claim it 15% of the time. The rest is scattered across marketing leadership and dedicated AI teams. For solos: there is no committee, no turf war, no meeting to schedule to decide whose job it is. That decision was already made. [16:34] The GEO Tactics Already in Reach: The tactics the report lists for building AI visibility are all single-person tasks: 55% are securing coverage in high-authority publications, half are creating authoritative or data-driven content, half are optimizing for search, and 44% are structuring content with clear answers and FAQ formats so AI tools can extract it easily. None of these require cross-functional sign-off. Michelle's observation: if you start now informally, you may not be behind at all — you may be ahead of larger organizations still arguing about who owns this. [18:33] Three Takeaways for Solo Practitioners: First: trust your own stress and workload data more than what this report says — it was never measuring a department of one. Second: shrink your pitch list and go deeper, letting this data give you permission to stop trying to out-volume agencies with ten times your headcount. Third: claim GEO now, informally, before anyone tells you it's yours to claim — pick one tactic and start.

Have you ever gone to church and found yourself looking around at who else is there?  The poet Robert Burns wrote a poem about this.  He looked at the person sitting in front of him and saw a louse (plural of this word is "lice.") sitting on this person's collar.  So he wrote a poem and gave it the title, "To a Louse."  We don't know if the poet heard the sermon that day or not!  Our subject this morning is "Four People Who Go to Church."  Stay with us; maybe we will hear about more than a louse on someone's collar.

John Dickerson interviews Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan about their new book Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump. Drawing on extensive reporting from inside the White House, they explore how Trump's second term differs radically from his first, from his decision-making process to the people surrounding him and his relationship with power, money, and the presidency itself. Unlike his first term, when he felt under siege, Trump now operates from absolute confidence. He's surrounded by loyalists and flatterers, getting information through a curated ecosystem that includes Fox News, Truth Social, and aides like Natalie Harp ("the human printer") who fetch him what he asks for, regardless of its accuracy. His decision-making is reactive and gut-driven, shaped by what people want to tell him. Meanwhile, his family and inner circle are making unprecedented wealth from the presidency, and Trump himself, who equates money with intelligence, is richer than ever. With Supreme Court immunity, total command over his party, incomparable wealth, and an administration of unequivocal supporters, Trump appears completely in his element: free to exercise power exactly as he wishes, being praised constantly, and getting richer by the day.Tweet us your questions @SlateGabfest or email us at gabfest@slate.com.

For the better part of two centuries of U.S. history, the American people understood that they—and not the Supreme Court—were the final arbiters of the Constitution. But in recent decades, nine unelected justices have claimed that mantle for themselves. Now, with the high court's claim of neutrality and legitimacy crumbling, an urgent question must be answered: Can "We the People" restore our power to interpret the Constitution—and if so, how?In the first installment of the series By the People, Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern try to find out how and when this notion of judicial supremacy took over, with the help of Larry Kramer, legal scholar and author of The People Themselves: Popular Constitutionalism and Judicial Review. You can read the full package of articles accompanying this series at slate.com/bythepeopleThe justices publish their opinions a few dozen times a year. Dahlia and Mark share theirs every week.

***GET TICKETS TO OUR LIVE SHOW HERE!!!!***An uncomfortable amount of the internet has been influenced by Barstool Sports. Many prominent online figures, particularly women, hail from the website, and the media company has planted its flag in everything from internet culture to crypto. Upon reading founder Dave Portnoy's memoir, however, all Scaachi Koul found was an angry man made up of grudges. In this episode, host Kate Lindsay is joined by Koul to talk about Barstool's legacy, its secret influence on the internet, and why, despite this, Dave Portnoy is so bitter about it all.This podcast is produced by Vic Whitley-Berry, Daisy Rosario, and Kate Lindsay.Need to set up your Slate Plus feed?

Historia escrita por Armando Horror LoquendoFuente de la historia: https://youtu.be/b_9KlEd6uG0?si=U3NZYKogqypqJxA6Edición a cargo de Fanterozen: https://www.instagram.com/fanterozen/¡Bienvenidos a una nueva historia! Y sí, por más raro que sea el título, hoy les narraré algo sobre fútbol jajaEsta historia captó mi atención hace unos meses gracias a comentarios que vi en internet. Estos comentarios aseguraban que era una historia muy buena. Intrigado, decidí darle una oportunidad y... si bien, no me parece una obra maestra, quise compartirla con el mundo por varias razones:-Es una historia original de un autor latinoamericano. Normalmente traigo historias que están en inglés de autores extranjeros y en más de una ocasión me han preguntado que por qué no subo historias en español y/o que ocurran en latinoamérica. Pues bueno, esta es una de ellas (aunque no ocurra en latam).-Al parecer varias personas la tienen en buena estima, así que ¿por qué no?-Y por último: estamos en fechas mundialeras. Por lo que, si en algún momento iba a subir esta historia, lo mejor sería hacerlo justo cuando se está llevando a cabo la copa mundial de fútbolLa historia no es perfecta y tiene varios detalles que podrían ser mejores (tanto en redacción como en la trama), pero vamos a ser respetuosos con el autor y tratar de disfrutar su extraña premisa jajaMuchas gracias a Armando Horror Loquendo por darme permiso de subir su historia. Espero que les guste. Y si quieren más historias originales y/o de fútbol, quizás quieran darse una vuelta por su canal

This week, Emily Bazelon, John Dickerson, and David Plotz discuss how the confirmation hearing for Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is yet another example of Trump trying to force Congress to bend the knee, what is behind the horrific ICE killings of two men this week and what can be done about it, and the details of a new multi-state antitrust lawsuit to block the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger led by guest California AG Rob Bonta.For this week's Slate Plus bonus episode, Emily, John, and David discuss what voters deserve to know about the health and aging of our lawmakers, including the nuances of missing legislators versus executive officers, how political pressure from voters could encourage transparency and accountability, and possible solutions like term limits. In the latest Gabfest Reads, Emily Bazelon talks with Senator Chris Murphy about his new book, Crisis of the Common Good: The Fight for Meaning and Connection in a Broken America. Murphy lays out a provocative agenda for Democrats to call Americans to national service, break up corporate power, rebuild local communities, and create a bigger tent that reaches disaffected conservatives hungry for change.

Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon is one of the most played, purchased and praised albums of all time. Yet its enduring legacy might be its supernatural chart longevity. Officially, the 1973 long-player has spent nearly a thousand weeks on the Billboard album chart. But that number probably understates its past performance, not to mention its future potential, with new generations of teenagers discovering Dark Side every yearJoin Chris Molanphy as he explores Pink Floyd's deathless totem and traces the band's evolution from '60s psychedelic curios to dorm-room poster icons.

Most of us use GPS—the Global Positioning System—on a daily basis: to find our location when we're driving, running, shopping, dating, and so much more. But GPS is even more important, and more vulnerable, than you think.In the last few years, GPS interference has been reported all over the world, from war zones to shipping routes to public squares. What was once the fanciful plot of a Bond movie—bad guy manipulates GPS to start World War III—is increasingly plausible. How did the world come to rely so heavily on such an unreliable system?In this episode of Decoder Ring, host Willa Paskin talks to journalist Katherine Dunn, author of the new book Little Blue Dot: How GPS Shaped the Modern World. You'll learn how GPS works, why it was created, how it became so ubiquitous, and why it's now under attack. You'll also hear from Dr. Todd Humphreys, an aerospace engineer who manipulated GPS to trick an $85 million superyacht into following his direction—for science, of course.This episode was written and produced by Max Freedman.

Platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket have expanded from letting people bet on just sports to everything from political events to reality TV, and even the weather. But by injecting financial incentives into things like disease outbreaks, we're even more susceptible to bad actors and manipulation. On today's episode, host Kate Lindsay is joined by creator Austin Evans to talk about the spread of prediction markets, and how a tool once believed to help us make sense of society ended up making everything even more chaotic. ***GET TICKETS TO OUR LIVE SHOW HERE!!!!***This podcast is produced by Vic Whitley-Berry, Daisy Rosario, and Kate Lindsay.

Canada produces world-leading science, engineering, and AI research. So why does so much of that research still commercialize outside of Canada?In this episode of TechSurge, host Nic Brathwaite puts that question to four leaders at two of Canada's top research universities: Mary Wells (Dean of Engineering) and Chris Houser (Dean of Science) at the University of Waterloo, and Heather Sheardown (Dean of Engineering) and Gianni Parise (VP Research) at McMaster.At Waterloo, Mary Wells traces how the university's origin produced one of the world's most influential co-op programs and a creator-owned IP policy that lets inventors keep their ideas, making the school a talent engine for global tech. The group digs into Canada's AI paradox, foundational research and talent but far less of the economic value, and what quantum, robotics, and advanced manufacturing show about getting research to market.McMaster runs a different model, built on health sciences, nuclear research, and problem-based learning. Heather Sheardown explains the McMaster Method and why it matters in an AI-shaped future. Gianni Parise argues for commercialization as a core university function, with work spanning AI-assisted drug discovery, inhaled vaccines, critical-mineral-free motors, and a campus nuclear reactor that supplies much of the world's iodine-125 for prostate cancer treatment. They also unpack Fusion Pharmaceuticals, the McMaster spin-out acquired by AstraZeneca, and what it reveals about university commercialization.Together, these conversations ask what universities must become in an era defined by AI, deep tech, national competitiveness, and the urgent need to move ideas from the lab into the world.Sign up for our newsletter at techsurgepodcast.com for updates on upcoming TechSurge Live Summits and future episodes.Speaker Profiles and LinksMary Wells - University of Waterloo Profile: https://uwaterloo.ca/engineering/about/dean-engineerinChris Houser - University of Waterloo profile: https://uwaterloo.ca/earth-environmental-sciences/profile/chouserHeather Sheardown - McMaster Engineering profile: https://www.eng.mcmaster.ca/chemeng/faculty/dr-heather-sheardown/Gianni Parise - McMaster Experts Profile: https://experts.mcmaster.ca/people/parisegChapters: 0:00 Highlights0:56 Welcome 2:39 Waterloo's origin story 4:51 Creator-owned IP and the Waterloo model 7:42 The Co-op Flywheel 8:56 Canada's AI paradox: world-class research, slower domestic value capture 10:21 AI, Regulation, Trust, and Canadian Competitiveness 17:09 Rethinking the PhD for Commercialisation 21:43 Inside Waterloo's labs 30:14 What Waterloo wants to be in ten years: builders of the country 32:39 Meet McMaster: health sciences, nuclear capability, and research intensity 34:12 The McMaster Method 35:11 Research, Health, and Commercialisation 40:45 McMaster Labs: Heat, Motors and Health Innovation 47:13 Bioinnovation, Nuclear Research and Fusion Pharmaceuticals 58:43 The university of 2035: less lecture, deeper societal impact References Mentioned and Further ReadingUniversity of Waterloo Policy 73 - Intellectual Property Rights: https://uwaterloo.ca/secretariat/policies-procedures-guidelines/policies/policy-73-intellectual-property-rightsUniversity of Waterloo - Our IP policy: https://uwaterloo.ca/entrepreneurship/our-ip-policyUniversity of Waterloo Co-op programs: https://uwaterloo.ca/future-students/co-opUniversity of Waterloo - Academy of Research Commercialization: https://uwaterloo.ca/conrad-school-entrepreneurship-business/graduate-students/academy-research-commercialization-arcOpen Quantum Design: https://openquantumdesign.org/Institute for Quantum Computing, University of Waterloo: https://uwaterloo.ca/institute-for-quantum-computing/CIFAR - Pan-Canadian Artificial Intelligence Strategy: https://cifar.ca/ai/Government of Canada / ISED - Pan-Canadian Artificial Intelligence Strategy: https://ised-isde.canada.ca/site/ised/en/pan-canadian-artificial-intelligence-strategyStatistics Canada - Understanding Canada's innovation paradox: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/36-28-0001/2024007/article/00002-eng.htmCouncil of Canadian Academies - Innovation and Business Strategy: Why Canada Falls Short: https://cca-reports.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/2009-06-11-innovation-report-1.pdfKPMG / University of Melbourne - Trust, attitudes and use of artificial intelligence: https://assets.kpmg.com/content/dam/kpmg/ca/pdf/2025/07/trust-in-ai-en-report.pdfMcMaster - Our approach to teaching and learning / Problem-Based Learning: https://provost.mcmaster.ca/teaching-learning/our-approach/McMaster - Evidence-based medicine: https://fhshrwelcome.mcmaster.ca/did_you_know/evidence-based-medicine/McMaster Nuclear Reactor - Medical Isotopes: https://nuclear.mcmaster.ca/medical-isotopes/McMaster Industry Liaison Office - IP and commercialization FAQ: https://research.mcmaster.ca/mcmaster-industry-liaison-office-milo/ip-education/intellectual-property-guides/faqs/McMaster - AstraZeneca to acquire McMaster-supported Fusion Pharmaceuticals: https://news.mcmaster.ca/astrazeneca-to-acquire-mcmaster-supported-fusion-pharmaceuticals/Fusion Pharmaceuticals - FACIT investment and CPDC spin-out background: https://fusionpharma.com/facit-announces-investment-in-fusion-pharmaceuticals-and-alpha-emitting-radiotherapeutics/PubMed - Evidence-based medicine and problem-based learning at McMaster: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31617018/ScienceDirect - Fifty Years on: The first problem-based learning programme at McMaster:

There is a difference between managing symptoms and actually healing.And most of us were never taught that difference.If you've been managing bloating, anxiety, fatigue, skin flares, hormone dysregulation, constipation, or your child's eczema, reflux, diarrhea, sleep struggles, behavioral outbursts, or discomfort in their body, this episode will help you understand what the body is communicating underneath the symptom.Juniper explains why symptom management asks, “How do I make this stop?” while healing asks, “Why is this happening in the first place?” She also shares why gut health matters so much when we're talking about true healing… because the gut is directly connected to our skin, digestion, elimination, inflammation, food reactions, picky eating, energy, mood, immune function, hormones, sleep, and regulation.If you've been trying to quiet symptoms for yourself or your child, this episode will help you begin listening to the body differently.Thanks for listening!

Have you ever been afraid?  That probably is a foolish question, since most of us would have to admit that there have been times when we have really been afraid.  The Bible always has a word of help to us in any situation in our lives when we have special needs, and surely God's Word can help us when we are afraid.  Today we will look at two Bible verses: Psalm 56:3 and Isaiah 12:2, and see what God has to say to us when we are afraid.

The Supreme Court just wrapped one of its most consequential terms in decades—and Amicus brought together three heavyweight legal experts to break down the damage. Their conversation centers on the biggest themes of the recent term: Congress has been sidelined completely; the Court is the final arbiter of all things; hubris has become the methodology, and the midterms should worry us all. Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern are joined by civil rights lawyer Sherrilyn Ifill, legal historian Nikolas Bowie, and Supreme Court expert Stephen Vladeck. The panel dissects a term defined by judicial supremacy: the gutting of the Voting Rights Act in Callais and Milligan, the “unitary executive” power grab in Trump v. Slaughter, the birthright citizenship fight that never should have been argued, and a shadow docket that increasingly infects the merits docket. They trace how the court has hollowed out Congress' power to legislate, rewritten the meaning of the Reconstruction Amendments, and applied its own rules with striking inconsistency—all while shrugging off any need to justify itself.The conversation closes with a hard question: What can actually be done about a court that's this unaccountable? The panel offers concrete ideas, from congressional hearings on court reform to a new Voting Rights Act—and the hosts preview Amicus' upcoming series, By the People.This is part of Opinionpalooza, Slate's coverage of the major decisions from the Supreme Court.

This week, Emily Bazelon, John Dickerson, and David Plotz discuss why an insurgent candidate with so many red flags got so far, how shocking new details about Trump's 2025 income show billions in earnings while those who bought his crypto lost billions, and what everyone lost when the president decided World Cup rules didn't apply to us.For this week's Slate Plus bonus episode, Emily, John, and David talk with guest Jesse Wegman, Senior Fellow at the Brennan Center for Justice, about his new book The Lost Founder: James Wilson and the Forgotten Fight for a People's Constitution. Wilson, a Scottish-born delegate at the Constitutional Convention, argued that the people—not the states—held true governing power, pushing for a directly elected president, only to be erased from history after his career collapsed into debt and disgrace. In the latest Gabfest Reads, Emily Bazelon talks with Senator Chris Murphy about his new book, Crisis of the Common Good: The Fight for Meaning and Connection in a Broken America. Murphy lays out a provocative agenda for Democrats to call Americans to national service, break up corporate power, rebuild local communities, and create a bigger tent that reaches disaffected conservatives hungry for change.

Favour Obasi-ike, MBA, MS frames the discussion around the core distinction: broke (or broken) business websites vs pro (professional) business websites. A “broke” site often lacks structure, SEO, technical setup, and consistently underperforms, whereas a professional site is organized, optimized, and positioned for visibility, lead generation, and business growth 00:00:03, 00:05:16.Who Is This For?This episode is for business owners, entrepreneurs, and marketers—especially those responsible for their company's website and digital visibility. If you want practical, plain English insights into why your site isn't performing, how to spot technical flaws, and how to finally turn a “broken” website into a professional, revenue-driving asset, this is for you.Key Moments & TimestampsIntro & Website Audit Tools:00:00:03 - [Favour Obasi Ike] introduces the concept of "broke" vs. "pro" business websites and tools like Siteliner.com and GTMetrix to self-audit your site.Technical SEO & Why Sites Don't Rank:00:05:00 - 70% of ranking problems are technical, not content-based.00:07:00 - Explains the impact of page speed, broken links, and crawl errors.Site Architecture & Structure:00:12:06 - A “pro” site has a solid checklist, logical URL structure, all main pages (home, about, contact, etc.), and no duplicates or broken paths.Importance of Social, Content, and Indexing:00:10:15 – Social profiles now connect with Google Search Console; cohesive digital presence is critical.00:33:05 – Explains sitemaps, robots.txt, and how to check what pages Google sees vs. your actual site.Schema, Quality Content, and Velocity:00:48:23 – Why schema (structured data) is often missing and critical for SEO.01:11:28 – Content must attract and repel with clarity; use action-oriented headlines and answer real user questions.Budgets, DIY, and Final Advice:01:05:01 – Discusses real costs for professional sites, why you must invest money or time, and how “broke” sites result from neglect.01:23:29 – Final takeaways: clarity in copy, investing in continual learning, and practical analytics checks.SummarizeTechnical SEO is usually the culprit for low rankings—not just content issues. Site speed, mobile performance, clean architecture, and meta info (titles, descriptions) matter much more than flashy design.Sitemaps and robots.txt must be properly configured, or Google may ignore much of your site.Schema markup is almost always missing on poorly performing sites and can boost visibility.Consistent, high-quality content (using real user questions as headline structure) increases both visibility and engagement.Organic social and SEO now interact—Google draws from your digital presence as a whole.DIY is an option, but you must invest time if you can't invest money.Monitor click-through and conversion metrics (above 2% is good; below, revisit your site's value/clarity).FAQsQ: What free tools can I use to audit my site?A: Siteliner.com checks duplicate/broken pages; GTMetrix.com measures speed; NSLookUp.io checks domain health.Q: What's the most common reason websites don't rank?A: Technical SEO issues: slow speed, crawl errors, missing/incomplete sitemaps, improper robots.txt, lack of schema.Q: Is a newsletter/blog/journal page worth it?A: Yes—having unique, frequently updated content (news, blogs, resources) helps with indexing, authority, and user engagement 00:43:10.Q: Can I get a professional site cheaply?A: Investing either time (DIY, free learning resources) or money (professionals, payment plans) is required. Q: What defines a “pro” website?A: Fast, mobile-first, well-structured, SEO-optimized, schema'd, secure, maintained, and delivers what users expect—every time.Action StepsAudit your site using Siteliner, GTMetrix, and NSLookUp to identify technical flaws (00:01:38).Create or download a checklist for on-page, off-page, technical, and local SEO (00:05:48).Clean up your site map and robots.txt.Apply schema markup to each main page (00:48:23).Ensure all key pages exist: home, about, contact, products/services, privacy, FAQ, blog/newsletter (00:13:51).Update your titles/descriptions to include search terms and local info; keep within pixel/character limits (00:29:13).Track your conversions; if below 2%, revisit clarity, speed, mobile, and copy (01:27:24).Invest in learning if budget is tight (use LinkedIn Learning, online resources) or hire a pro with phased payments.Monitor progress and repeat regular checks to maintain a “pro” business website.For more strategies, connect directly via the podcast resources shared at the conclusion of the episode.

Here at Slow Burn, we explore the events and people who shaped America as we know it today. As the country marks its 250th birthday this summer, we want to introduce you to the first installment of First America, a great podcast series that explores a truly consequential moment from our nation's past. We have been told the American Revolution was fought over taxation and representation. First America reveals the real story of why the colonists rebelled, what kind of government they created, and how it led to America's current political moment. Hosted by Rebecca Nagle, an Indigenous author and former host of Crooked Media's This Land podcast, the series looks at the hunger for Indigenous land that fueled the American Revolution—and questions how an entire country missed the point of its own founding document. The show's first episode takes its title from the lesser-known last grievance in the Declaration of Independence. Listen to “Merciless Indian Savages,” from First America—and find the rest of the series wherever you get podcasts.Need to set up your Slate Plus feed?

Kylie Jenner and Mark Zuckerberg are trying to rebrand Meta Glasses as some kind of girlboss fashion accessory, even though women are the ones most likely to be the victims of their invasive technology. While Meta plows forward with this new collaboration, the glasses continue to be abused by users taking advantage of its covert filming capabilities, often by filming women without their knowledge and posting it online. On today's episode, host Kate Lindsay is joined by A Bit Fruity host Matt Bernstein to discuss why sinister companies keep giving themselves girlboss makeovers—but also why it's not working.

The Supreme Court just wrapped the term with a blitz of extremely consequential decisions, and the smoke hasn't cleared yet. (In fact, it's looming like a dark storm cloud over our Fourth of July and America 250th festivities…) In this week's episode, cohosts Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern focus on two of the term's bleakest legacies: first, the court's catastrophically bad use of history and second, the demise of independent agencies. They discuss the court's 6–3 decision in Trump v. Slaughter, which was rooted in shoddy originalism and reckless disregard for how an accountable democratic government actually functions. Meanwhile, the dissenters in Trump v. Barbara would have weaponized bogus history to end birthright citizenship for millions. To unpack this, Dahlia and Mark sit down with two law professors: Sam Bagenstos of the University of Michigan and a former general counsel at the Department of Health and Human Services, and Jed Shugerman of Boston University (whom Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson cited this week). They deconstruct the myriad ways in which the high court ultimately embarrassed itself, history, and truth, with decisions that will affect millions of Americans for years to come.Slate Plus members!

As sex becomes more online, not only does it become more solitary, but also more surveilled. For instance: Back in December, OpenAI announced that they'd allow adult users to have erotic conversations with ChatGPT. On today's encore episode, host Kate Lindsay is joined by porn historian Noelle Perdue, author of the Porn World newsletter. While advances in AI and sex surveillance are intended to divide us, Noelle is confident that AI's attempted sex-takeover will fail.

This week, Emily Bazelon, David Plotz, and guest host Ruth Marcus discuss this week's momentous Supreme Court rulings. The FTC/Slaughter case overturns nearly a century of precedent protecting independent agencies from presidential power while Cook makes a suspicious exception for the Fed, birthright citizenship prevails on constitutional grounds but the close vote further reveals what's broken at the Court, and the Court rules against transgender people, again, by upholding state bans on trans athletes.For this week's Slate Plus bonus episode, Emily, David, and guest host Ruth Marcus discuss how Trump's rally-turned-fireworks-delay, a militarized downtown, and a rebranded "Freedom 250" have turned DC's festivities into a loyalty test. They ponder whether skipping DC's fireworks means ceding the flag to Trump and if attending old-fashioned local cookouts and parades is the more patriotic move. In the latest Gabfest Reads, Emily Bazelon talks with Senator Chris Murphy about his new book, Crisis of the Common Good: The Fight for Meaning and Connection in a Broken America. Murphy lays out a provocative agenda for Democrats to call Americans to national service, break up corporate power, rebuild local communities, and create a bigger tent that reaches disaffected conservatives hungry for change.

A lot has happened in Jeff Hiller's life since he was last on the show in 2024. Last year he won an Emmy for his role on the HBO show Somebody Somewhere and then went viral for his sincere and funny acceptance speech. He's had featured roles in the AppleTV hits Pluribus and Widow's Bay and joined the revolving cast of the Broadway show Celebrity Autobiography. And his memoir Actress of a Certain Age is out in paperback.This week, Jeff returns to tell Anna about all the ways his life has changed – and hasn't – since that surprise awards win, including the internet's curiosity about his body, facing the financial realities of a changing Hollywood, and how we can all remember to seek joy by avoiding the fate of Margaret Atwood's rooster.Podcast production by Cameron Drews and Andrew DunnGet more Death, Sex & Money with Slate Plus!

It was a weird and wild ride as the Supreme Court handed down the last decisions of the term that started all the way back in October of 2025. We were so much younger then. After 58 argued cases and a steady, sneaky stream of shadow docket orders, the court issued its final four decisions Tuesday, and one justice was retired and unretired in short, confusing order. The headline win: The court upheld birthright citizenship, but only by a 5-4 vote on the constitutional question, far closer than expected, and a sign of just how willing four justices are to rewrite the 14th Amendment to suit Donald Trump's wishes. Justice Brett Kavanaugh tried to split the baby, and Dahlia and Mark explain why his approach is more alarming than it first appears.The news doesn't get better from there. The court ruled against transgender student athletes in cases out of Idaho and West Virginia, with Kavanaugh writing for the majority and Justice Neil Gorsuch offering an unconvincing retreat from his brief moment, post-Bostock, as an LGBTQ rights ally. The court also gutted limits on coordinated spending between political parties and candidates, opening new doors for even more big money in elections.Plus: the strange saga of Justice Alito's accidentally announced "retirement," what it reveals about the court's obsession with secrecy, and a first look at next term's blockbuster Second Amendment case on assault weapons.Don't miss the Amicus Plus Breakfast Table on July 10th at noon EDT with Steve Vladeck, Sherrilyn Ifill, and Niko Bowie.

The end is nigh! Or, the end of this Supreme Court term is nigh, at least. On the second to last day of this term, the court's right wingers delivered a sweeping ruling that will reshape the federal government for years to come. In Trump v. Slaughter, the conservative supermajority voted 6-3 to allow the president to fire members of independent regulatory agencies—overturning Humphrey's Executor, a 91-year-old unanimous precedent—and handing Trump effective control over agencies that regulate consumer protection, nuclear energy, union activity, mine safety, and more. But the Roberts majority weren't quite ready to hand the nation's credit card (and their investment portfolios) over to the mad king, and so the Federal Reserve got a carve-out in a separate 5-4 ruling in Trump v. Cook. How did they reach these wildly different conclusions in such closely related cases? Justice Roberts offered a barely argued rationale, but who needs a rationale if your red lines are painted in a crimson of pure cynicism?The court also handed down a significant Fourth Amendment ruling on geofence warrants, with Justice Kagan writing for a 6-3 majority that such warrants constitute a "search" under the Fourth Amendment. And in Watson v. Republican National Committee, the court upheld state laws allowing mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day to be counted if they arrive shortly after. But the squeaker of a 5-4 majority was deeply alarming in a case that played to some of the justices' fox-brained ideas about election fraud. Justice Alito and his fellow dissenters appear to have signed onto the wholly unsupported view that Democrat wins are always suspect, and the only way to restore trust in voting is to restrict voting.
