Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Political correspondent Tal Schneider joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. As northern Israel was battered by a barrage of rockets from Hezbollah over the weekend, Schneider discusses ongoing criticism of the government for allowing the situation to continue, while noting that Israel's hands are tied; it can't disrupt US negotiations with Iran, and that regime controls Hezbollah in Lebanon. Schneider also talks about Beaufort Castle, a strategic fortress in Lebanon last controlled by Israel in 2000 and now taken by the IDF once again. The Knesset will vote Monday on whether to dissolve this government, and will choose one of several possible dates for elections in September or October, as Schneider reviews the options. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

   Ok, there is one thing we can all agree on.  Rashee Rice is not worthy of playing for the Kansas City Chiefs.  The terrible teammate, terrible friend and terrible partner is a continuing crap show that isn't good enough to stay.  Reports, as he's in jail for 30 days, indicate he broke his probation by getting high.  Other reports try to tamp it down and say this should have been served a year ago.  Then another report that he's hurt and out for two months.  Stop.  Just stop.    On to less controversial things like NPR having two listeners, yes two, that gave them gifts totaling $113 million and they still want to lay off employees.    The Trump ballroom is suddenly a military installation and security facility for the White House.  Yes please.    Bill Self opens up with the Athletic and his non retirement sounds even more confusing.    The new, biggest star in the NBA should be the last straw that leads to raising the hoop a foot and making the court bigger.    I got an email from a strange source encouraging me to get FIFA Fan Fest tickets.  This doesn't pass the smell test.    And in our Final Final an overnight clerk at and Exxon station tries to steal money without hurting his employer and gets arrested.

Пролеће на Калемегдану..."En: "Look at this beauty, as if it was made just for us. Spring at Kalemegdan..."Sr: Али, стара питања нису дозволила ниједној речи да утиша напетост.En: But old questions didn't allow any words to ease the tension.Sr: Милош се сетио свега - разочарања, удаљености, дистанце која је појела све срећне тренутке.En: Miloš remembered everything—the disappointments, the distance, the gap that consumed all happy moments.Sr: Склопио је руке, спреман за расправу.En: He clasped his hands, ready for an argument.Sr: "Зашто?" питао је Милош, његов глас је одисao огорченošћу.En: "Why?" Miloš asked, his voice tinged with bitterness.Sr: Снежана је дубоко уздахнула.En: Snežana sighed deeply.Sr: "Милоше," рекла је тихо, "постоје ствари које ниси знао."En: "Miloš," she said quietly, "there are things you didn't know."Sr: Један тренутак ћутања.En: A moment of silence.Sr: "Сећаш се када сам те молила да останеш?En: "Do you remember when I begged you to stay?Sr: Није било лако.En: It wasn't easy.Sr: Али, знала сам да ти треба простор да нађеш свој пут.En: But I knew you needed space to find your path.Sr: Остала сам овде из љубави према обојици, и жртвовала много," рекла је Снежана са сузом у оку.En: I stayed here out of love for both of you, and I sacrificed a lot," Snežana said, a tear in her eye.Sr: Милош је застао.En: Miloš paused.Sr: Није очекивао ову истину.En: He didn't expect this truth.Sr: Тишина је лебдела међу њима, али сада је била испуњена разумевањем.En: The silence lingered between them, but now it was filled with understanding.Sr: Осећао је да му се ледено срце полако топи.En: He felt his icy heart slowly melting.Sr: "Извини," прошаптао је Милош, дубоко дирнут њеним речима.En: "I'm sorry," Miloš whispered, deeply moved by her words.Sr: У том тренутку, око њих је тишина заменила бурне речи.En: In that moment, silence replaced the harsh words around them.Sr: Владимир се насмешио, знајући да је мир сада могућ.En: Vladimir smiled, knowing that peace was now possible.Sr: Сестра и брат се загрлише, а све неизречене речи одједном нису имале значај.En: Brother and sister embraced, and all the unspoken words suddenly lost their significance.Sr: На старим зидинама Калемегдана, пролеће је поново донело нови почетак.En: On the old walls of Kalemegdan, spring once again brought a new beginning.Sr: Милош је први пут после много година осетио хладовину дома и топлину породичне љубави.En: For the first time in many years, Miloš felt the shade of home and the warmth of family love.

Send us Fan MailWhat is the one market signal the sharpest investors on Wall Street are watching right now? The S&P 500? The Fed funds rate? Oil prices? Inflation data? We sat down with Elizabeth Burton, the new Chief Strategist at Fortress, one of the world's biggest and most respected hedge funds, to ask what actually matters most in this market — and her answer might surprise you.This is the same Elizabeth Burton who, back in 2020, made the call that inflation would be sticky, not transitory — while much of the market, and even the Fed, was still arguing the opposite. Now she's back with another uncomfortable view: the market may be focusing on the wrong risks again. In this episode, we ask why the bond market matters so much, whether investors are too eager to believe we're going back to a 2018-style world of low rates and easy returns, whether the panic over private credit is missing a bigger problem in private equity, and what happens if AI disruption doesn't stop at software.We also get into the next sector that could be blindsided by AI, why the allocator world may become increasingly K-shaped, how the biggest institutions could fall behind if they can't move fast enough, and what market risks keep investors up at night even more than private credit. Plus, Elizabeth tells us how she almost became a New York City beat cop, why Fortress is not the private equity shop some people think it is, and how she almost got denied insurance coverage after being accused of climbing Mount Everest.You do not want to miss this episode!!Shop our Self Paced Courses:Investment Banking & Private Equity Fundamentals HEREFixed Income Sales & Trading HERESubscribe to our Substack: https://substack.com/@thewallstreetskinny

I sat down with Mehow, founder of American Fortress, right here in Miami during Consensus week, and this conversation genuinely blew my mind. Michal has been a hacker since age 15 and has spent four and a half years and 13 patents building something the crypto industry has never had before — a universal identity and privacy protocol that makes sending crypto as simple as typing a name.

"I've seen people as they are, without pretense. I've seen their beauty and their ugliness with my own eyes." At long last, Film Junk is finally showing legendary director Akira Kurosawa a little love with a review of his 1958 epic adventure film The Hidden Fortress. Is it one of his all-time masterpieces? Many would argue not. But it is a pretty fun watch that served as a loose inspiration for Star Wars, which was our excuse for digging into it. Is Toshiro Mifune one of the manliest actors who ever lived? How do you hide gold inside wood? Should older movies be held up to the same level of plot scrutiny as modern ones? Does every fire festival serve terrible sandwiches? Grab your yari and meet us on the battlefield for the latest episode of Film Junk, you shitworm.

John Quinn is joined by Jack Neumark, Managing Partner and Co-Head of Specialty Finance of Fortress Investment Group and Founder of its Legal Assets Group. They discuss the emergence of legal assets as a distinct investment class.  Fortress is a leading player in litigation finance with over $6.5 billion deployed in legal assets and a current portfolio of approximately $3 billion. While most litigation funders typically invest in individual cases, Fortress invests in diversified portfolios of litigation claims and contingent fee receivables. Fortress underwrites and finances these portfolios the same way it does other specialty finance products. To underwrite a portfolio, Fortress has lawyers examine the cases in the portfolio to determine how strong and likely to settle they are. They consider factors including the defendants and how creditworthy they are, the damage theories asserted, how far the case has progressed, what motion practice has revealed, and whether related criminal charges have been filed. They also consider the law firms involved, the judge, and the venue. Fortress also conducts quantitative analyses of the historical results of similar cases based on publicly available data and proprietary data it has accumulated in the 15 years it has invested in legal assets. Legal asset portfolios are attractive to many investors because the results of lawsuits are less subject to the performance of the economy in general than many other classes of assets. Also, because the market for legal assets is still developing, sophisticated investors can often obtain better returns than in more mature markets. Jack believes that as the industry matures, especially with potential regulatory changes around law firm ownership, litigation finance will become more mainstream and integrated into broader investment strategies.Podcast Link: Law-disrupted.fmHost: John B.

Welcome to a brand new Fortress of Word Balloon, where the mic gets handed over to the League of Word Balloon Listeners, straight from patreon.com/wordballoon.Coming to you from my secret headquarters, and this one's a freewheeling hang with the smartest fans in comics as we bounce from comics to TV to film, hitting everything we love . And along the way, I dig into the Word Balloon vault to share some behind-the-scenes stories from the last 20 years, the guests, the moments, and the surprises that helped shape the show.

Today's story is all about what happens when you become infatuated with someone you don't really know. And what strange or scary things you might do in order to make real contact with that person. The story is also about youth, love of language, and what you do with all your passion when you have more energy than you know what to do with.  This story is by Jonathan Lethem. He's a writer known for novels such as Motherless Brooklyn and The Fortress of Solitude, as well as short stories, recently collected in his book, A Different Kind of Tension. While he's amazing at crafting great narrative hooks, he's also quite good at recreating the awkward moments of young adulthood, as you'll hear in today's story, "The King of Sentences." The story is read by Brendan Hunt, the longtime writer and theater actor who is best known these days for the series Ted Lasso: Hunt helped to create it, write it, and on the show, he plays Coach Beard. Stay tuned after the story for a fascinating interview between Lethem and host Aparna Nancherla about creative influences, the power and peril of parasocial relationships, and more.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode of the GoNOMAD Travel Podcast, Senior Writer Chin Liang takes us deep into the heart of Transylvania, a region forever linked to gothic legends, dark forests, and of course… vampires. But as Chin quickly shows us, the real Transylvania—and the real Brașov—is far more fascinating than any fictional horror story.We begin with the scenic train ride from Bucharest, winding through the Carpathian Mountains before arriving in Brașov, a city of 250,000 people that still feels like a perfectly preserved medieval town. In the Old Town's Council Square, Chin notices something unusual: the eyebrow dormer windows that look like hundreds of half‑closed eyes watching from the rooftops. Built by Saxons centuries ago, these “eyes” once ventilated attics—but today they give Brașov its unforgettable, slightly eerie charm.Chin explores the Black Church, the city's most famous landmark, named for the fire that blackened its walls in the 17th century. Inside stands one of the largest pipe organs in Southeastern Europe, with nearly 4,000 pipes still used for concerts.No trip to Brașov is complete without a visit to Bran Castle, the so‑called “Dracula's Castle.” Chin sets the record straight: the castle has nothing to do with vampires. Instead, it was a fortress, then a royal residence, and now a museum perched dramatically on a rocky cliff. Still, its silhouette was close enough to Bram Stoker's imagination that the legend stuck.Chin also recommends pairing your visit with Râșnov Fortress, a 13th‑century hilltop stronghold, and Peleș Palace, a spectacular neo‑Renaissance royal residence filled with secret doors, stained glass, medieval weapons, and ornate rooms that feel straight out of a fairytale.Back in Brașov, Chin samples local dishes like hearty beef stew and creamy roasted eggplant spread. And for the best view in town, he rides the cable car up Mount Tâmpa, where the forests and ridges of Transylvania stretch out in every direction. It's here, above the rooftops and the “watchful eyes,” that the city's resilience and history truly come into focus.Brașov is a place shaped by fire, rebuilt with pride, and wrapped in centuries of myth. And as Chin reminds us, sometimes the real stories are even better than the legends.If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe to the GoNOMAD Travel Podcast and never miss a new journey.Explore more great travel stories at GoNOMAD.com

Backed by a sprawling network and years in the making, Al-Qaeda's Sahel affiliate has launched its most ambitious offensive yet—one that could redraw the map of West Africa. Bill and Caleb unpack.

Welcome to Day 2848 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2848 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 119:161-168 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2848 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2848 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Wisdom-Trek: The Shin of Shalom – Great Peace Amidst Powerful Princes In our previous episode on this grand expedition, we hiked through the twentieth stanza of Psalm One Hundred Nineteen, known as the “Resh” section. We stood in the cosmic courtroom, exhausted by the relentless attacks of the wicked. But instead of surrendering, we appealed to the Highest Authority. We asked the Creator, the Supreme Judge of the Divine Council, to step down and act as our personal Advocate. We learned that the sum total of God's Word is absolute truth, and that His perfect justice will stand firm, long after the chaotic noise of this world has faded away into dust. Today, we take a deep, steadying breath, and we step forward into the twenty-first, and penultimate, stanza of this magnificent, alphabetical mountain. We are exploring the “Shin” section, covering Psalm One Hundred Nineteen, verses one hundred sixty-one through one hundred sixty-eight, in the New Living Translation. In the ancient Hebrew alphabet, the letter “Shin” was originally depicted as two front teeth, or a consuming flame. It represents something that presses down, consumes, or destroys. But it is also the first letter of one of the most beautiful and profound words in the entire Hebrew language: Shalom, meaning peace, wholeness, and cosmic order. In this stanza, the psalmist is facing the intense, pressing weight of powerful earthly rulers. Yet, instead of being consumed by fear, he is consumed by a blazing love for the truth. He discovers an unshakeable, indestructible Shalom that no human prince can ever take away. Let us step onto the trail, and learn how to find perfect peace on a battlefield. Trembling Before the True King (Reads Psalm One Hundred Nineteen: verses one hundred sixty-one and one hundred sixty-two NLT) Powerful people harass me without cause, but my heart trembles only at your word. I rejoice in your word like one who discovers a great treasure. The stanza opens with a chilling, intimidating reality. “Powerful people harass me without cause.” Other translations render this as, “Princes persecute me without a cause.” We must look at this through the lens of the Ancient Israelite worldview. In the ancient Near East, princes and kings were not merely political figures. They were considered the earthly avatars, the human representatives, of the rebel gods who governed the disinherited nations. To be harassed by princes meant that you were facing the absolute pinnacle of earthly, and spiritual, power. These rulers possessed armies, wealth, and the legal authority to execute their enemies. And they are targeting the psalmist “without cause,” simply because his loyalty to Yahweh exposes the corruption of their dark, chaotic kingdoms. When the most powerful people on earth are trying to destroy you, the natural human response is absolute, paralyzing terror. But look at the staggering, defiant posture of the psalmist: “...but my heart trembles only at your word.” He effectively looks at the menacing princes, heavily armed and breathing threats, and he shrugs. He refuses to give them the satisfaction of his fear. He reserves his trembling, his profound, bristling awe, exclusively for the Creator of the universe. He knows that these earthly princes are temporary pawns, destined to return to the dust. Why should he fear a mortal ruler, when he serves the Immortal King who spoke the galaxies into existence? The awe of God completely neutralizes the fear of man. This shift in perspective produces an incredible emotional high. “I rejoice in your word like one who discovers a great treasure.” The literal Hebrew translation is incredibly vivid: “I rejoice at Your word as one who finds great spoil.” This is the language of warfare. Spoil, or plunder, is the massive, accumulated wealth that a victorious army captures after defeating an enemy empire. The psalmist is surrounded by hostile princes, yet he feels like a conquering general. He realizes that possessing the truth of God's cosmic blueprint is infinitely more valuable than any treasure those earthly princes could ever offer him. He has already won the war, simply by holding the Word of Yahweh in his hands. The Rhythm of Perfection and the Hatred of the Lie (Reads Psalm One Hundred Nineteen: verses one hundred sixty-three and one hundred sixty-four NLT) I hate and abhor all falsehood, but I love your instructions. I will praise you seven times a day because all your regulations are just. Because his heart is captivated by the magnificent treasure of God's truth, he experiences a violent, visceral reaction to deception. “I hate and abhor all falsehood, but I love your instructions.” Notice the intensity of the verbs. He does not just dislike falsehood; he hates and abhors it. In the Divine Council worldview, falsehood is the native language of the serpent. It is the dark, deceptive operating system of the rebel spiritual principalities. Falsehood is not just a polite fib; it is the cosmic lie that humanity can flourish independently from the Creator. It is the lie that causes wars, oppression, and death. When you truly love the instructions of God, you naturally develop a holy, righteous allergy to the lies of the enemy. You cannot remain neutral. You must actively abhor the deception that is currently destroying the world, in order to fiercely protect the truth that saves it. To actively guard his mind against the constant barrage of these cultural lies, the psalmist implements a strict, spiritual discipline. “I will praise you seven times a day because all your regulations are just.” In biblical numerology, the number seven, or sheva, represents completion, perfection, and covenant fulfillment. By stating that he praises God seven times a day, the psalmist is not necessarily describing a rigid, legalistic schedule. He is describing a state of perpetual, complete, and unceasing worship. When the powerful princes harass him, and the culture screams its falsehoods, he purposefully interrupts the noise. He stops what he is doing, looks up to the heavens, and praises the perfect justice of Yahweh. He creates a continuous, sevenfold rhythm of gratitude that completely drowns out the threats of the enemy. The Fortress of Shalom (Reads Psalm One Hundred Nineteen: verse one hundred sixty-five NLT) Those who love your instructions have great peace and do not stumble. This single verse serves as the absolute, beating heart of the “Shin” stanza. It contains the magnificent promise of the Creator. “Those who love your instructions have great peace and do not stumble.” The Hebrew phrase for “great peace” is Shalom rab. To our modern ears, peace usually implies a quiet afternoon, a relaxing vacation, or the temporary absence of conflict. But the biblical concept of Shalom is far heavier, and infinitely more powerful. Shalom means absolute wholeness, completeness, health, and total alignment with the cosmic order of God. Remember, the psalmist is currently being hunted by powerful people. His external world is chaotic, dangerous, and violent. Yet, internally, he possesses Shalom rab—abundant, overflowing wholeness. How is this possible? Because his peace is not tethered to his circumstances; it is tethered to his love for God's instructions. When you love the Torah, you align your soul with the unshakeable architecture of the universe. The political systems may collapse, the economy may fail, and the princes may rage, but your internal foundation remains absolutely secure. Because of this profound, stabilizing peace, the psalmist declares that they “do not stumble.” Literally, the text says, “and for them there is no stumbling block.” The wicked are constantly laying traps, snares, and tripwires to bring the believer down. But when your eyes are fixed on the cosmic blueprint, and your heart is filled with Shalom, those stumbling blocks lose their power. You see the traps of greed, fear, and arrogance for what they really are, and you simply step over them. You walk forward...

In this episode, I welcome back Mia Hughes — director of Genspect Canada, senior fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, and one of the sharpest writers on the gender scandal — to dig into the framework she calls "trans as an extreme overvalued belief." Mia walks us through the history of the overvalued idea, from Carl Wernicke in 1892 to Paul McHugh's post-9/11 application of the concept to ideologically driven violence, and explains why this psychiatric category — sitting between delusion and obsession — finally makes sense of the trans phenomenon in a way no other diagnosis ever has.We trace the Dutch origins of medical transition in the 1970s, the moment psychiatry "gave up" on these patients, and how WPATH's 2010 de-psychopathologization statement re-engineered a mental illness into a celebrated identity — triggering, in Mia's view, the social contagion that followed. I bring my clinical lens to the conversation, exploring transference and countertransference, neuroplasticity, the hijacking of dopamine through "gender euphoria," and why so many therapists get this wrong in both directions. We close on Mia's anorexia parallel and what it teaches us about loosening the grip of a pathological belief — gently, indirectly, and without the parent in the line of fire.Mia Hughes specializes in researching pediatric gender medicine, psychiatric epidemics, social contagion and the intersection of trans rights and women's rights. She is the author of The WPATH Files, a senior fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute and director of Genspect Canada.

Lords: Matt https://mtrop.net/ Cort Topics: Doom Modding and You The Boston Marathon Stampede This 1989 Shigeru Miyamoto quote. "When pornography escalates, it eventually crosses into the grotesque. I think the world of 'hidden secrets' in games has almost reached that same grotesque level. It's reached a point where it isn't measured by common sense anymore. It's just people getting bored and looking for stronger and stronger stimulation. We've hit a wall. When you're at the point where you have no choice but to go 'grotesque,' you have to start thinking of new ways to use the medium." https://shmuplations.com/itoimiyamoto/ Dammit I'm Mad by Demetri Martin https://www.reddit.com/r/Poetry/comments/zc6iic/poem_dammit_im_mad_by_demetri_martin/ Microtopics: Plugging in the middle of someone else's topic.

David was no stranger to peril. He dodged Saul's javelins and evaded his armies. With few other resources of his own, he called on the great I AM for protection.

In a new missive from the Fortress of Proopitude, Greg and Jennifer banter about Boz Scaggs, Boonville and Berkeley.

When St. Petersburg nobility mockingly called Moscow a "big village," in the 19th century – a time when they lived in all the excess found in a Tolstoy novel -- they couldn't have imagined the provincial fortress would become the heart of a nation spanning eleven percent of Earth's landmass and eleven time zones. It had a long warm-up time to get there. For nearly a millennium, Moscow has endured Tatar Mongols, Swedish armies, Napoleon, Hitler, devastating fires that never stopped burning even in snow and rain, and the Soviet destruction of its sacred churches—each catastrophe reinforcing the city's identity as both glittering prize and perpetual phoenix rising from ashes. From the 1147 seizure of boyar Stepan Kuchka's land by Prince Yuri to Putin's current authoritarian rule, Moscow's history of autocracy, violence, and resurrection holds the key to understanding why liberal democracy has never thrived in Russia (and why some say it shouldn’t) and why most Russians simultaneously hate the Ukraine war yet believe it's justified. Today's guest is Simon Morrison, author of A Kingdom and a Village: A One-Thousand Year History of Moscow. We discuss how Moscow transformed from tax collector for the Golden Horde – basically a vassal of a daughter state of the Mongol empire -- into Russia's capital through Ivan the Terrible's brutal consolidation of power. We also see why Moscow was the world's most flammable city with a thriving network of Home Depot-like rebuilding businesses, and how the city's French-speaking nineteenth-century nobility created the cultural duality Tolstoy critiqued in War and Peace. Russia's geographic determinism—vast open borders requiring an autocratic "iron hand"—means the nation has lurched from one tyranny to another, never achieving the civil society and free press Americans take for granted.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
