The host begins by claiming "bombshell after bombshell" revelations are breaking, asserting that Democrats, including Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell, openly committed felonies by leaking classified information. He alleges that Paul Sperry, an investigative reporter, was banned from Twitter at the demand of Adam Schiff's staff for his truthful reporting. This, he says, is part of a broader, international censorship effort orchestrated by figures like John Brennan. The host cites the UK's Online Safety Act as an example, claiming it is being used to silence dissent and force websites like Wikipedia to demand personal identification from users, a practice he compares to China's social credit system. In an abrupt shift, the host then shares a grave warning to parents about child predators. He highlights recent arrests of individuals in trusted community roles—a teacher, a state legislator, and a school board member—and, drawing on his personal experience from attending sex offender counseling, urges parents to be hyper-vigilant and not to trust anyone, particularly those who seek close mentorships with children in places like churches and sports teams

Are you homeschooling a neurodivergent child, or just feeling like the “typical” homeschool advice doesn't fit your real life? This episode is for all the mamas who secretly (or not-so-secretly) wish for a blueprint, but end up building a rollercoaster every single day.Today, I'm joined by Amie, a veteran mom of one, homeschooling her neurodivergent son, and living proof that “just one kid” does NOT mean it's always a walk in the park! (Try keeping up with a high-speed Wikipedia page who only wants to talk about trains and Japanese sailing. It's an Olympic sport.)Amie opens up about her journey: from the failed attempt at “Best School in the System” to finding a unique family rhythm at home, letting go of expectations, and embracing a blend of Montessori, Charlotte Mason, and good old, fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants adaptability. We dive into what school looks like for a wildly curious, deeply-focused teen and how Wonder Studies (yes, still with her high schooler!) has become a lifeline for jumpstarting curiosity and keeping herself sane.Wonder how to juggle rabbit trails, box-checking, and your own perfectionist guilt? Amie and I get real about dropping the Pinterest boards and finding peace in the “messy middle.” If your homeschool feels all over the place. Spoiler: you're in good company.What you'll learn:Why letting go of “school should look like school” is the first step to real joyExactly how Amie balances deep-dive interests with actually “doing the school things”Why unit studies + living books + rabbit holes are magic for neurodivergent and neurotypical kids alikeTips for Morning Time with a single, high-intensity learner (and why baskets save everyone's sanity!)How Wonder Studies gives teens independence and mamas instant reliefLetting go of perfectionism, surviving “no core subjects this week,” and still raising an amazing kidWhy curiosity and joy matter just as much, if not more, than checking the boxesResources mentioned in this episode:Wonder Studies Annual AccessTeens on Track resources:Morning Time PlansFor full show notes and a transcript of today's episode, head to pambarnhill.com/hsbt44Mentioned in this episode:Wonder Studies Annual Access Now OpenDoors close August 15.

(Antevíspera del Aniversario de la Caída de Tenochtitlan) «Para quienes consideren que los hechos de armas son y han sido tarea exclusiva de hombres... el caso de la andaluza (o quizás cántabra) María [de] Estrada reviste especial interés.» Así comienza Manuel Lucena Giraldo, reconocido historiador español especialista en la Historia de América, un artículo publicado en el Diario ABC sobre aquella mujer aguerrida.1 El conquistador Francisco de Estrada, hermano de María, había acompañado a Cristóbal Colón como grumete, de modo que es probable que en 1509, cuando Francisco regresó al Nuevo Mundo para instalarse de forma permanente, María haya viajado con él.2 Como por entonces ella tenía ya entre treinta y cuarenta años, sus compañeros le habrían de poner el sobrenombre de «La vieja». Después de llegar a Cuba y de casarse con Pedro Sánchez Farfán, María participó en combates en la actual Matanzas y, según el doctor Lucena Giraldo, «hasta es posible que su hermosura la salvara de morir, pues un cacique la tomó para sí... hasta que los españoles se recuperaron de la derrota y volvió con su marido a Trinidad, al sur de la isla.» De Cuba a Veracruz, y de ahí a la sangrienta batalla de Otumba y al asalto final de Tenochtitlan, hay varios testigos oculares que constatan el papel que jugó María de Estrada en la conquista de México, mostrando desde el principio una capacidad guerrera que incluía hasta la invocación del apóstol Santiago en los asaltos. Por ejemplo, el cronista español-tlaxcalteca Diego Muñoz Camargo describe a María «con una espada y una rodela en las manos, peleando valerosamente con tanta furia y ánimo que excedía al esfuerzo de cualquier varón, por esforzado y animoso que fuera, que a los propios nuestros ponía espanto». Así mismo, el catedrático castellano Francisco Cervantes de Salazar recuerda que, después de la mortífera «Noche Triste» en la que murieron cientos de españoles e indígenas aliados, cuando el conquistador español Hernán Cortés ordenó que las mujeres que formaban parte de sus tropas se quedaran a descansar en la ciudad de Tlaxcala, María le reclamó: «No es bien, señor capitán, que mujeres dejen a sus maridos yendo a la guerra. Donde ellos murieren, moriremos nosotras, y es razón que los indios entiendan que somos tan valientes los españoles que hasta las mujeres saben pelear.»3 En lugar de sorprendernos, lo justo es que reconozcamos que, con ese arrojo, María de Estrada estaba siguiendo cabalmente el ejemplo de dos mujeres protagonistas del libro de los Jueces en la Biblia: la jueza Débora, que en calidad de comandante militar ordenó a su comandante Barac que atacara las tropas del general cananeo Sísara y lo acompañó porque él insistió que no iría sin ella; y Jael, la valerosa mujer que engañó a Sísara luego de vencido todo su ejército, y lo mató atravesándole la sien con una estaca, llevándose así la gloria de la victoria tal y como Débora había predicho que sucedería.4 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Manuel Lucena Giraldo, «María Estrada conquista México», Diario ABC, 4 agosto 2009 En línea 19 febrero 2025. 2 Wikipedia, s.v. «María de Estrada» En línea 19 febrero 2025. 3 Lucena Giraldo; Francisco Cervantes de Salazar, Cronica de la Nueva España, Libro quinto, Cap.

rWotD Episode 3021: Superior cluneal nerves Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Monday, 11 August 2025, is Superior cluneal nerves.The superior cluneal nerves are pure sensory nerves that innervate the skin of the upper part of the buttocks. They are the terminal ends of the L1-L3 spinal nerve dorsal rami lateral branches. They are one of three different types of cluneal nerves (the middle and inferior cluneal nerves being the other two). They travel inferiorly through multiple layers of muscles, then traverse osteofibrous tunnels between the thoracolumbar fascia and iliac crest.Dysfunction of the superior cluneal nerves is often due to entrapment as the nerves cross the iliac crest – this can result in numbness, tingling or pain in the low back and upper buttocks region. Superior cluneal nerve dysfunction is a clinical diagnosis that can be supported by diagnostic nerve blocks.The superior cluneal nerves were first described by Maigne et al. in 1989 as a source of low back pain.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:03 UTC on Monday, 11 August 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Superior cluneal nerves on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Aria.

fWotD Episode 3020: Berners Street hoax Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Monday, 11 August 2025, is Berners Street hoax.The Berners Street hoax was perpetrated by the writer Theodore Hook in London in 1810. After several weeks of preparation he made an apparently spontaneous bet with a friend that he could transform any property into the most talked-about address in London. Hook spent six weeks sending between a thousand and four thousand letters to tradespeople and businesses ordering deliveries of their goods and services to 54 Berners Street, London, at various times on 27 November 1810. Several well-known people were also invited to call on the address, including the chairmen of the Bank of England and the East India Company, the Duke of Gloucester and the Lord Mayor of London.Hook and his friends rented rooms in the house opposite number 54 to view proceedings. Chimney sweeps began arriving at the address at 5:00 am on the day, followed by hundreds of representatives of several trades and businesses, including auctioneers, undertakers, grocers, butchers, bakers, pastry chefs and dancing masters; goods deliveries included organs, furniture, coal, wedding cakes, food, drink and a coffin. The police were called to try and manage the crowd but they were not able to clear the street until after the final influx of visitors at 5:00 pm: domestic servants who thought they were to be interviewed for a job.Hook was unidentified at the time, but admitted his involvement in a semi-autobiographical novel published twenty-five years after the event. The hoax was repeated across Britain and Paris, and was retold on stage, in song and by cartoonists.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:55 UTC on Monday, 11 August 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Berners Street hoax on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Danielle.

Discovered accidentally in the 1930s, studied as a possible psychiatric wonder drug, used by the CIA in highly unethical clandestine mind control experiments for project MKUltra during the cold war, adopted by the counterculture hippies of the summer of love, LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) is viewed by some for its potential to expand human consciousness and promote peace and by others for its potential to completely destroy our society.

One-Act Play Collections - Book 15, Part 2 Title: One-Act Play Collections - Volume 15 Overview: Here, in our 15th collection, are 10 One-Act Plays for your enjoyment. They range from the mid-1600s to the early 1900s, from outright farce to bittersweet relationships, all short gems to make you laugh, cry, think, or all three. A one-act play is a play that has only one act and is distinct from plays that occur over several acts. One-act plays may consist of one or more scenes. The 20-40 minute play has emerged as a popular subgenre of the one-act play, especially in writing competitions. One-act plays make up the overwhelming majority of Fringe Festival shows including at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The origin of the one-act play may be traced to the very beginning of recorded Western drama: in ancient Greece, Cyclops, a satyr play by Euripides, is an early example. The satyr play was a farcical short work that came after a trilogy of multi-act serious drama plays. A few notable examples of one-act plays emerged before the 19th century including various versions of the Everyman play and works by Moliere and Calderon. One act plays became more common in the 19th century and is now a standard part of repertory theatre and fringe festivals.

Bad Bunny's massive Puerto Rico residency is the week's headline. WPLG Local 10 reports he's midway through his 30-show “No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí” run at San Juan's Coliseo de Puerto Rico, drawing 18,000 per night and projected to inject roughly $200 million into the island's economy, from hotels and restaurants to small venues near the arena, according to local entrepreneurs and Puerto Rico's governor Jenniffer González Colón encouraging visitors to “come, enjoy the concert, enjoy the island.” WPLG Local 10 and Local10.com both highlight how the residency is reshaping summer tourism and local business momentum around the Coliseo.There was also tragic news tied to the influx. The Los Angeles Times reports a 25-year-old visitor from New York, in Puerto Rico for the residency, was fatally shot early Sunday in La Perla; police say he was an innocent bystander and two locals were also wounded. KSAT corroborates details from police that the incident occurred after an argument at a La Perla nightspot and that the victim's friends had traveled for one of the 30 shows.On the cultural front around the residency, the Los Angeles Times' De Los coverage shows how the moment is sparking art and community action. Local artists, with advocacy group Mijente and collective AgitArte, launched the “De Aquí Nadie Nos Saca” exhibition in Santurce, explicitly in conversation with Bad Bunny's album Debí Tirar Más Fotos and the residency's title, framing it as a statement against displacement and for cultural sovereignty. The piece also notes AgitArte's Papel Machete contributed the giant puppet seen in the “La Mudanza” video, tightening the feedback loop between the music, visuals, and on-the-ground art-making during show weeks.Social media keeps feeding the residency's pop-culture gravity. The Washington Post's Instagram highlighted that Bad Bunny opened the run in July with initial dates reserved for Puerto Rico residents, underscoring the hometown-first approach to access. An Instagram post circulating this weekend shows Bad Bunny spotted in Puerto Rico alongside Austin Butler and director Darren Aronofsky, a reminder that the residency is doubling as a magnet for international creatives visiting the island.For listeners tracking the music arc that's powering this summer, Wikipedia's Debí Tirar Más Fotos entry outlines the January 5 album drop, a string of videos through July, and the May announcement of the Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour starting in November across Europe, Australia, Japan, and Latin America. Wikipedia's Bad Bunny page further notes a July 14 single, “Alambre Púa,” extending the album's life into the residency window, and places the 30-date San Juan run from early July to mid-September with the first nine dates exclusive to locals. NPR's Tiny Desk performance from April sits upstream of this residency, seeding the live band identity listeners are now seeing scaled up at the Coliseo.A quick pulse check on the business and audience impact: Local 10's reporting emphasizes spillover to neighborhood venues near the arena and portrays San Juan as a summer destination anchored by the shows. The Los Angeles Times' community angles suggest the residency is as much a cultural ground game as it is a concert series, inviting visitors to engage beyond the arena while also surfacing the island's ongoing debates over gentrification and self-determination. The shooting in La Perla underscores the safety context visitors are navigating as crowds swell around nightlife hotspots during show weeks, according to police accounts reported by the Los Angeles Times and KSAT.Thanks for tuning in.

fWotD Episode 3019: Hurra-yi Khuttali Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Sunday, 10 August 2025, is Hurra-yi Khuttali.Hurra-yi Khuttali (Persian: حره ختلی; fl. 1006 c. 1006 – c. 1040) was a princess from the Ghaznavid dynasty and the daughter of Sabuktigin, ruler of Ghazna (now in Afghanistan). She was married to two Maʽmunid rulers of the Khwarazm region, Abu al-Hasan Ali and, after his death, his brother Maʽmun II. It is not known if she had any children with either of her husbands. Her marriages were a direct cause of the annexation of Khwarazm by her brother, Mahmud of Ghazni. In 1030, upon Mahmud's death, she wrote a letter to her favourite nephew, Masʽud, urging him to claim the throne from his brother, Muhammad. After receiving her missive, Masʽud quickly marched to Ghazna and usurped the throne. Hurra's letter is considered the most prominent political act of a woman during the Ghaznavid era. She is last mentioned in 1040, leaving Ghazna for India; her ultimate fate is unknown.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:37 UTC on Sunday, 10 August 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Hurra-yi Khuttali on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Russell.

pWotD Episode 3021: Jim Lovell Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 235,468 views on Saturday, 9 August 2025 our article of the day is Jim Lovell.James Arthur Lovell Jr. ( LUV-əl; March 25, 1928 – August 7, 2025) was an American astronaut, naval aviator, test pilot, and mechanical engineer. In 1968, as command module pilot of Apollo 8, he along with Frank Borman and William Anders, became one of the first three astronauts to fly to and orbit the Moon. He then commanded the Apollo 13 lunar mission in 1970 which, after a critical failure en route, looped around the Moon and returned safely to Earth.A 1952 graduate of the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, Lovell flew F2H Banshee night fighters. He was deployed in the Western Pacific aboard the aircraft carrier USS Shangri-La. In January 1958, he entered a six-month test pilot training course at the Naval Air Test Center at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland, with Class 20 and graduated at the top of the class. He was then assigned to Electronics Test, working with radar, and in 1960 he became the Navy's McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II program manager. In 1961, he became a flight instructor and safety engineering officer at Naval Air Station Oceana in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and completed Aviation Safety School at the University of Southern California.Lovell was not selected by NASA as one of the Mercury Seven astronauts due to a temporarily high bilirubin count. He was accepted in September 1962 as one of the second group of astronauts needed for the Gemini and Apollo programs. Prior to Apollo, Lovell flew in space on two Gemini missions, Gemini 7 (with Borman) in 1965 and Gemini 12 in 1966. He was the first person to fly into space four times. Among the 24 astronauts who have orbited the Moon, Lovell was the earliest to make a second visit but remains the only returnee who has not walked on the surface. He was a recipient of the Congressional Space Medal of Honor and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He co-authored the 1994 book Lost Moon, on which the 1995 film Apollo 13 was based. Lovell was featured in a cameo appearance in the film.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:41 UTC on Sunday, 10 August 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Jim Lovell on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Joanna.

Edition No216 | 06-08-2025 - Belarus's New Martial Law Proposal. Today, we unpack Belarus's proposal to expand martial law and what it might mean—not just for Belarus, but for Ukraine, its NATO neighbours, and Europe's beleaguered democracies.In August 2025, Belarus's Defence Ministry submitted a new bill giving it the power to declare martial law not only in the case of aggression against Belarus, but also if Russia or the “Union State”—their supranational alliance—is attacked (The New Voice of Ukraine). As one summary put it, "if, for example, a Ukrainian drone strikes Russian territory, Belarus could legally impose martial law on its own soil".The official justification: Belarus cites threats to the Russian‑Belarusian Union State, an integrated bloc formed in the 1990s to align foreign, economic, and defence policies between Russia and Belarus (UNITED24 Media). Now it's a matter of debate whether Belarus can be considered a sovereign and independent country, given that its policy making is so closely aligned with Kremlin ambitions and intentions. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------SOURCES: * Militarnyi.com, “Belarus Proposes Introducing Martial Law…” (Aug 2025) * NV.ua / RBC.ua, “Belarus may declare martial law…” (Aug 2025) * Belsat.eu, on expanding grounds for martial law * Wikipedia Union State, treaty ratification details March 2025 (Wikipedia)* EUNEWS.eu, EU suspects Belarus behind migrant flows from Libya (Aug 2025)* Maghrebi.org, investigation linking Belarus in Libya migration (Aug 2025)* Wikipedia and other sources on weaponised migration (Wikipedia)* EU records: Frontex stats 2024 rising Belarus route by 192% (Reuters)* Reuters & Politico / Newsweek on Lithuanian drone incidents (Aug 5 2025) * Kyiv Independent on drone carrying explosives* CEPA analysis of Baltic hybrid drone threat ----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

It's time for the playoffs! Andy and Brendan are thrilled to discuss the most important three weeks in golf, kicking off this week at TPC Initech in Memphis for the FedEx St. Jude Championship. 69 of the top 70 players on the PGA Tour will tee it up in the first round of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, with only Rory McIlroy skipping out. This has caused plenty of commotion and Peppy Peter says a new "Rory Rule" may be implemented to force all who qualify to play the three playoff events moving forward. Speaking of the playoffs, Brendan discovered that the Wikipedia article for this first round has become an a minefield of past sponsors and jumbled histories, not unlike the PGA Tour's winner list that deems Cameron Young as "Mr. 1,000." Mr. 1,000 is in Memphis, searching for another strong finish that would place him ahead of Keegan Bradley in the Ryder Cup standings. The calls for Captain Keegan to not pick himself as a player are growing louder by the day, so he'll need to play well in the postseason to silence the doubters. Elsewhere on the schedule this week, the Champions Tour is back stateside in Seattle, the DP World Tour's notable list is... something, and the U.S. Women's Am heads to Bandon. In news, the Creator Classic is returning to East Lake and an SGS favorite announces his last start on Tour.
