Social-Media Hoax Frames Innocent Man, Sean Bailey for Indiana Murder; Real Suspect Caught After DNA Break Imagine getting hauled off to jail for a murder you didn't commit—because someone made up fake Facebook accounts and sent videos of a dead body… pretending to be you. That's exactly what happened to Shawn Bailey, a 33-year-old man from Louisville who spent nearly 10 days locked up for a brutal killing in Indiana that he had nothing to do with. According to investigators, Bailey was set up in one of the most twisted, tech-savvy frame jobs we've seen in a while. It started on April 15, when deputies in Hanover, Indiana—just across the river from Louisville—were called to check on 35-year-old Wilma Gayle Robertson. What they found was horrific: Robertson was dead inside her home on Hickory Drive, stabbed in the back. Hours later, Bailey was arrested for her murder. On the surface, it looked like an open-and-shut case. There was allegedly a confession. There was video evidence—a clip sent through Facebook showing Robertson's lifeless body on the floor, with Chris Brown's “Stutter” playing in the background. One message attached to it taunted: “Tell her baby daddy he doesn't have to worry about her anymore… I did him a solid favor.” Chilling stuff. And the Facebook account? It had Shawn Bailey's name on it. Slam dunk, right? Wrong. As detectives kept digging, the cracks in the story widened. The DNA from the crime scene didn't match Bailey. Not even close. And the digital trail? It didn't point to him at all. Instead, the fake accounts, the video, the entire setup led back to Nigel Thomas, a 34-year-old aspiring rapper from Oxford, Ohio, who goes by the stage name “Nati Bang.” According to Jefferson County prosecutors, Thomas not only stabbed Wilma Robertson but then orchestrated an elaborate scheme to make it look like Bailey did it—going so far as to create multiple bogus Facebook profiles, fabricate a confession, and even send out the murder video under Bailey's name. Prosecutor David Sutter didn't mince words. He said Thomas “engaged in an elaborate plan to frame Shawn Bailey,” and praised law enforcement from Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio for tearing that web of lies apart. On Friday, Thomas was arrested in Ohio. Bailey's charges were dropped, and he was finally released. No word yet on why Thomas targeted Robertson, or what his connection to her even was—but prosecutors say those details are coming. Meanwhile, Wilma Robertson—remembered for her kind heart and uplifting social media presence—leaves behind two children. She worked as a certified nursing assistant. Her life was real. Her death was senseless. And the attempt to twist it into a clout-chasing stunt for someone else's gain? Unforgivable. The justice system got it right—eventually. But you have to ask: how many other “airtight cases” are really just one fake profile away from falling apart? Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Few writers/artists have had as much of an impact on the Man of Steel's legacy as Dan Jurgens. Dan has been working on Superman comics since the late 80s/early 90s, and has continued writing and illustrating Superman stories to this day. In today's CELEBRATING SUPERMAN episode, Dan joins Shawn to discuss how he got started writing Superman, his favorite Superman stories, his 2024 visit to the set of James Gunn's new film, and, of course, the legendary DEATH OF SUPERMAN issue, which was both written and illustrated by him.
Acclaimed writer PHILLIP KENNEDY JOHNSON joins Shawn's CELEBRATING SUPERMAN series for a freewheeling discussion about his WARWORLD SAGA, his ACTION COMICS run, the upcoming SUPERMAN: BOOK OF EL series, and James Gunn's new film. They also talk about Phillip's love of music and his career as a member of the U.S. Army Field Band, and even manage to sneak in some conversation about his ongoing BATMAN & ROBIN run.

What is holding me back? This is the $64,000 question! What is keeping you from more? What is keeping you from better, bigger, brighter?

Today, on Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black wants to encourage listeners to look at what is STOPPING them from achieving their goals. Everything we do, or do not ‘do’, is driven by a Belief.

Ultimately our Beliefs about ourselves dictate what we do, where we go, and the altitude and attitude of our lives! Mr. Black will introduce listeners to the 20 biggest STOPPERS! The 20 most common blocks to Leadership. Leadership is the ability to move people, and that includes us! Listeners will learn about Focus, about Frames, about B.S. and about the heart and the mind.

It's our 300th episode and we honor a listener request for this milestone. The Fisher King (1991) could not be made today–not because of politics or cultural changes, but because it's impossible to neatly classify. A love story, a tale of redemption, a disturbing study of psychosis, a romantic comedy, and an Artthurian quest, the film combines genres in ways that some audiences–or at least producers–might not appreciate. But the film is hilarious, frightening, and ultimately affirming of its two lead characters' decisions to abandon their despair and find meaning in their lives.

Missing Frames reaches another milestone: EPISODE 150! And another milestone episode means that Brad Gullickson is back in the guest seat watching one of Shawn's favorite movies for the very first time: master filmmaker Satoshi Kon's final film PAPRIKA. Shawn and Brad discuss the film's brilliance, its beauty, its heart, and its all-around bonkers story (which Christopher Nolan more than likely snagged some inspiration from for his 2010 film Inception). They also chat about Satoshi Kon's legacy as a filmmaker and what makes Paprika such a special entry in his brilliant filmography.HOSTSShawn EastridgeBrad Gullickson
Daily Soap Opera Spoilers by Soap Dirt (GH, Y&R, B&B, and DOOL)
Click to Subscribe: https://bit.ly/Youtube-Subscribe-SoapDirt Beyond the Gates spoilers show that Leslie Thomas, portrayed by Trisha Mann, attempts to frame Eva Thomas, played by Ambyr Michelle, and Dani Dupree, brought to life by Karla Mosley, takes a dangerous gamble. BTG spoilers reveal that Eva's world crumbles as she loses her job with Nicole Dupree Richardson, Daphnee Duplaix's character, and is ousted from her home by Leslie. Her father, Ted Richardson (Maurice Johnson), steps in to support her, much to Leslie's dismay. Meanwhile, the Dupree family, with Vernon Dupree (Clifton Davis) and Anita Dupree (Tamara Tunie) at the helm, wades through the aftermath of recent public scandals. More spoilers for Beyond the Gates indicate that Kat Richardson, depicted by Colby Muhammad, grows suspicious of Tomas "Tom" Hernandez (Alex Alegria) and his relationship with Eva, while also suspecting foul play in Laura Peterson's (Destiny Love) accident. And other spoilers for BTG hint that Martin Richardson, played by Brandon Claybon, grapples with haunting memories that could threaten the family's stability. The second half of the week on Beyond the Gates sees Eva trying to mend fences with her estranged mother Leslie, while Kat plans to make war with Eva. Amidst mounting tensions, Ashley Morgan (Jen Jacob) and Derek Baldwin's (Ben Gavin) cohabitation troubles escalate. As the week closes, Doug McBride (Jason Graham) wrestles with financial woes and a broken hand, while Kat edges closer to exposing Leslie's lies. Rounding out the week on BTG, Nicole Dupree Richardson contemplates a significant life change, and Dani Dupree and Pamela Curtis (Cady McClain) pursue their risky dream of starting a new business.

This is the shocking true-life story of how PFAS—a set of toxic chemicals most people have never heard of—poisoned the entire country. Based on original, shoe-leather reporting in four highly contaminated towns and damning documents from the polluters' own files, Poisoning the Well: How Forever Chemicals Contaminated America (Island Press, 2025) traces an ugly history of corporate greed and devastation of human lives. We learn that PFAS, the ‘forever chemicals' found in everyday products, from cooking pans to mascara, are coursing through the veins of 97% of Americans. We witness the pain of families who lost sisters and daughters, cousins and neighbors, after PFAS leached into their drinking water. We discover evidence that the makers of forever chemicals may have known for decades about the deadly risks of their products—because their own scientists have been documenting these dangers since the 1960s. And we see the failure of our government, time after time, to provide basic protections to its citizens. It is impossible to read this searing exposé without being infuriated by the recklessness of corporate America. But readers will also be awed by the spirit of ordinary people who, while fighting for their own lives, took it upon themselves to fix a broken regulatory system. Heart-wrenching and maddening, stirring and uplifting, Poisoning the Well offers a unique window into the worst and best of human nature. It is essential reading for anyone concerned about the unfettered power of industry and the invisible threat it poses to the health of the nation—and to each of us. Sharon Udasin is a reporter for The Hill, covering U.S. West climate & policy from her home base in Boulder, Colorado. She was a Ted Scripps Fellow in Environmental Journalism at the University of Colorado Boulder and has also reported for The Jerusalem Post and The New York Jewish Week. A graduate of both the University of Pennsylvania and Columbia Journalism School, Sharon also received a 2022 SEAL Environmental Journalism Award and was honored by the Heschel Center for Environmental Learning and Leadership in 2013. Rachel Frazin covers energy and environment policy for The Hill: that's everything from climate change to gasoline prices to toxic chemicals to renewable and fossil energy. It was through this work that she learned about, and became alarmed by, "forever chemicals." She is originally from South Florida, and she studied journalism and political science at (the very cold) Northwestern University.

Based on original, shoe-leather reporting in four highly contaminated towns and damning documents from the polluters' own files, Poisoning the Well: How Forever Chemicals Contaminated America (Island Press, 2025) traces an ugly history of corporate greed and devastation of human lives. We learn that PFAS, the ‘forever chemicals' found in everyday products, from cooking pans to mascara, are coursing through the veins of 97% of Americans. We witness the pain of families who lost sisters and daughters, cousins and neighbors, after PFAS leached into their drinking water. We discover evidence that the makers of forever chemicals may have known for decades about the deadly risks of their products—because their own scientists have been documenting these dangers since the 1960s. And we see the failure of our government, time after time, to provide basic protections to its citizens. It is impossible to read this searing exposé without being infuriated by the recklessness of corporate America. But readers will also be awed by the spirit of ordinary people who, while fighting for their own lives, took it upon themselves to fix a broken regulatory system. Heart-wrenching and maddening, stirring and uplifting, Poisoning the Well offers a unique window into the worst and best of human nature. It is essential reading for anyone concerned about the unfettered power of industry and the invisible threat it poses to the health of the nation—and to each of us.

Andrés Gomez Emilsson is the director of the San Francisco–based Qualia Research Institute (QRI), a nonprofit developing formal models of consciousness and emotional valence. QRI's research aims to untangle the harmonic, computational, and symmetry-driven mechanisms underlying phenomenological experience. They approach the optimization of subjective experience through two powerful psychotechnologies — psychedelics and meditation — using them to explore the state-space of mind and map the structure of qualia. In this conversation, we discuss the phenomenology of enlightenment, the non-local field effects of consciousness, and one of Andrés' side projects: how perfumes and smells modulate perception and emotional geometry.

“Some writers confuse authenticity, which they ought always to aim at, with originality, which they should never bother about.” So said W. H. Auden and so we see demonstrated in Michael Powell's Peeping Tom (1960), which boldly employs every convention of the horror film in order to achieve a stunning, authentic portrait of a disturbing mind at work. But Mark is no ordinary slasher: he's an artist who is also a perfectionist and whose compulsion to destroy is like the compulsion to create. As Mark gives his all for the sake of his art, so did Michael Powell, whose reputation never recovered from the scandal of this film. It was released in the same year as Psycho, which it resembles, yet the two audiences across the Atlantic had very different reactions to their homegrown killers. The University Press of Mississippi offers an excellent series of collected interviews. Here's their volume on Michael Powell. Incredible bumper music by John Deley.

What story am I telling myself about my own life? In this episode, I break down the three core mental frames—victim, survivor, and hero—that I see at the heart of every self-help book, therapy session, or motivational seminar. I share a story from John D. Rockefeller's youth that completely changed the way I look at my own journey. I get personal about some of the hardest moments I've faced, and I explain why choosing the “hero” frame isn't about pretending life is easy—it's about deciding to win, no matter where I start. I'll walk you through how self-talk has shaped my life, why I think the myth of equal outcomes holds people back, and even how the way I describe my spouse or my past has helped me reshape my future. If you've ever felt stuck or wanted to rewrite your own story, this episode is for you—I'm sharing what's actually worked for me.Want to launch a fund?

In this episode of Honey Bee Obscura, Jim Tew revisits a seemingly simple question that sparked a surprisingly passionate response from readers and listeners alike: Do beekeepers still wire and embed their own wax foundation? After a passing remark in a recent article suggesting that the practice might be fading into history, Jim was met with a steady stream of replies from beekeepers who are very much keeping the tradition alive. Jim explores the reasons why many still choose to wire frames, reflecting on both the craftsmanship and the sense of satisfaction that come with building comb the old-fashioned way. He shares the evolution of foundation—wax, plastic, aluminum—and the many experimental paths that brought us to today's foundation inserts. With thoughtful insight, he considers the benefits and drawbacks of each method, from concerns about microplastics in honey to the question of how foundation thickness might affect colony communication or wintering behavior. Whether you favor the simplicity of modern snap-in inserts or the tactile, meditative process of wiring and embedding beeswax foundation, Jim reminds listeners that both methods have their place in today's diverse beekeeping landscape. ______________________ Thanks to Betterbee for sponsoring today's episode.

Man, this podcast is so fucking cool. I mean, it certainly is an acquired taste - like nattō or Limburger cheese or Mr Twit's Odious Ale - but when it hits, it hits. This episode (88) should be paired with the next episode (89, duh) in terms of full on Keep Going. We sense we are getting into rarified air, if lack of oxygen is your thing, in these two epsiodes of sharing our personal experiences alongside some pop culture references & our continued anti-running culture vibes. We are't likely gonna win over any new listeners with tour views, but we will continue to explore the liminal spaces of running experience. We really can't categorize these two episode so just trust us: a mouthful of nattō is NOT a bad thing. Godspeed, expeditionaries, godspeed.
We Have Ceased to See the Purpose: Essential Speeches of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (U Notre Dame Press, 2025) brings together ten of Nobel Prize–winner Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's most memorable and consequential speeches, delivered in the West and in Russia between 1972 and 1997. Following his exile from the USSR in 1974, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn lived and traveled in the West for twenty years before the fall of Communism allowed him to return home to Russia. The majority of the speeches collected in this volume straddle this period of exile, contemplating the materialism prevalent worldwide—forcibly imposed in the socialist East, freely chosen in the capitalist West—and searching for humanity's possible paths forward. In beautiful yet haunting and prophetic prose, Solzhenitsyn explores the mysterious purpose of art, the two-edged nature of limitless freedom, the decline of faith in favor of legalistic secularism, and—perhaps most centrally—the power of literature, art, and culture to elevate the human spirit. These annotated speeches, including his timeless “Nobel Lecture” and “Harvard Address,” have been rendered in English by skilled translators, including Solzhenitsyn's sons. The volume includes an introduction to the speeches, brief background information about each speech, and a timeline of the key dates in Solzhenitsyn's life. Ignat Solzhenitsyn is a pianist and conductor based in New York City. The middle son of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, he is translator and editor of several of his father's works in English. Daniel Moran's writing about literature and film can be found on Pages and Frames. He earned his B.A. and M.A. in English from Rutgers University and his Ph.D. in History from Drew University. The author of Creating Flannery O'Connor: Her Critics, Her Publishers, Her Readers, he teaches research and writing at Rutgers and co-hosts the long-running podcast Fifteen-Minute Film Fanatics.

Fashion Besties happyyyy Friii-yayyy! This week on the Fashion Crimes Podcast, we're diving into the world of eyeglass frames—something many of us overlook, but can dramatically make or break our style. Tune in to hear how the right pair of glasses (and sunglasses!) can become your new secret style weapon! Catch this podcast episode wherever you get your podcasts – or watch right now on YouTube! This episode is packed with expert tips to elevate your eyewear game. From choosing the right shape to upgrading those tired frames, you or someone you know will benefit from an eyeglass frame makeover. #trustme Holly's Tips for Upgrading Your Eyeglass Frames: 1. Have a Variety of Frames: Owning at least three pairs of glasses with updated prescriptions will give you plenty of options to change up your look. These should include one classic or neutral style (think clear or wire frames), one bold and fun option, and one edgier style frame. Changing up your frames guarantees an instant style upgrade. 2. Switch Up Your Styles Regularly: If you've been wearing the same frames for years, you might be stuck in a style rut. Try different shapes, colors, and materials—get adventurous with geometric shapes or even a funky cat-eye. Trying them on in person is a must. You will have more options and it will help you decide what complements your skin and hair best. 3. Eyeglasses as Part of Your Wardrobe: Your frames are a key accessory to your outfit, just like shoes or a handbag. Don't let them become an afterthought—choose frames that work with your overall style and personality. Want to see these frame suggestions in action? Head over to your Pinterest board, where we've curated some of our fave frame styles for every personality and look. Hot TIP!

Eelco F.M. Wijdicks, MD, PhD is Professor of Neurology at the College of Medicine, Mayo Clinic. His book Frames of Minds uncovers a cinematic language of psychiatry. By taking chances to portray mental illness, filmmakers aim to achieve a sense of reality, and provide catharsis for viewers through the act of dramatization. Ultimately, the history of psychiatry in film is a history of the public perception of medicine, and the ways psychiatry is understood by directors, writers, actors, and audiences.

Do you often find that with the small trading account, you have difficulty placing trades on charts like daily or weekly or monthly charts that need a bigger stop loss size, and therefore we cannot take the trades. If that's you. Listen up, I've got some great tips and information to share with you. Let's get into it right now. Hey there, Traders! Andrew here, the Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 584. Do you have a small trading account? So I want to talk about people with small trading accounts because a lot of the times I hear people say to me, look, I can't take those longer time frame charts. I can't take trades on a daily chart or weekly chart. So monthly charts, because I don't have a big enough account size to allow for a big stop loss. And unfortunately, it's a bit of a common misconception that people think they cannot trade on those higher time frame charts, which, by the way, are quite often some of the better trades to take because of the quality of the trades. And the people think they cannot trade them because they require too big a stop loss, and their account is not big enough to allow for that. Understanding risk and your lot size correctly. So the issue actually comes down to understanding risk and understanding how to calculate your stop loss correctly. Because most people don't do that. A lot of people say, I'm just going to put on 0.1 lots or 1.0 lots or 0.5, whatever it might be. They just put the same lot size on every trade. And if you do that, the problem is, is either, you know, one that when it gets stopped out the, stop loss amount, it's going to be way too much. And so therefore it could argue lots of smaller gains. And that again comes down to not understanding how to calculate your losses correctly. Now to help you out I'm going to put a link here which you'll find to my free lot size calculator. You can download my MT4 or MT5 lot size calculator. It's a script. Put it on your charts and you'll use it all the time and it will massively help you. But the issue becomes, let's say, you have a monthly chart trade. It requires looking to make up some numbers at 200 pips, stop loss and someone goes, oh, I can't take it because my account is not big enough. You probably can. You know, you might end up needing, let's say, a 0.01 lot size, but you can still take the trade. And the reason it needs to be a bigger stop loss is because it's all relative to the candle size in the market movement at the time. Now you take that down to a, let's say, a one hour chart trade, where obviously the movement is a lot smaller and the stop loss needs to be a lot tighter. It might again, for ease of numbers, let's say it has a ten pips. Sorry, at 20 pips. Stop loss. The monthly chart has 200 pips. Stop loss. The, our chart has a 20 pips. Stop loss. All it means is on your one hour chart, you could probably going to be trading with ten times the, the lot size. The risk is still the same. So you're not trading at ten times the risk. The risk in terms of the percentage of your account remains the same. It's just the lot size might be 0.1. Lots on your one hour chart, whereas on your monthly chart it might be 0.01 lots.

The Animal Liberation Orchestra or ALO are amongst my favourite bands to have on when I need that extra bounce or pep in my step. Their latest effort, Frames, is true to that formula, with each member of the quartet providing excellent musicianship, and vocal harmonies with a side order of smiles and fun. I recently had the chance to sit down with guitarist Dan “Lebo” Lebowitz to talk about the quartets latest album release, and a whole lot more… First song: Blank Canvas Second song: Space Between Frames See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this special episode, Scott welcomes the legendary Dr. Howard Gardner, a developmental psychologist and professor at Harvard’s Graduate School of Education. Best known for his groundbreaking Theory of Multiple Intelligences, Dr. Gardner’s 1983 book Frames of Mind challenged the traditional view of intelligence as a singular ability measured by IQ tests. Scott and Dr. Gardner explore the impact of his theory on education and psychology, discussing its strengths, limitations, and evolution over time. This conversation is both a deep dive into human intelligence and a personal one as Scott shares how Dr. Gardner’s work shaped his own journey into psychology.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
