Megyn Kelly discusses Gayle King's stunned reaction after the Lindsay Clancy trial holdout juror was revealed to be a black man, how corporate media is trying to smear the holdout juror who favored “guilty," NBC Boston bringing irrelevant details about his personal life to light, the reporting on the holdout juror's unpaid rent, the dangerous effort to destroy the life of a juror by Clancy super fans, Oprah Winfrey's absurd town hall and the way it somehow made the Clancy verdict about race, the bullying of those who supported guilty for Clancy, and more. Then Jim VandeHei, Mike Allen, and Roy Schwartz, co-founders of Axios and authors of "Simplify," join to discuss the truth about AI and why we need to take current threats seriously, the conversation about "superintelligence" that has exploded in America today, what's really behind the doomer narrative about AI, Anthropic's CEO sounding alarmist about “superintelligence,” the political ramifications of the declining public support for AI, whether President Trump actually wants the GOP to lose the House, the Republicans' prospects overall in the midterms, their book and its primary message “do 50% more with 50% less,” the three ways to “simplify” your life as 'confront, delete, amplify,' and more.

We've been playing so many board game remakes, redos, and sequels lately that we knew we had to invite Rob Daviau to the show. He's perhaps most well-known for creating the "legacy" concept and genre in which board games get permanently altered as players progress through their chapters (see: Pandemic Legacy, Risk Legacy). He's also working on The Lord of the Rings: The King's Gambit, the highly anticipated follow-up to the well-beloved and long out of print Star Wars: The Queen's Gambit. Oh, and he co-founded Restoration Games, a publisher whose entire existence revolves around reviving older games with fresh coats of deluxe-ness.

This week's podcast episode is a long-form companion piece to an article I published last week: The privileged position of chatbot advertising. In this episode, I make the case for why the chatbot advertising model is differentiated from those of both search and social media, feed-based display, and why it benefits from greater targeting scope through the optionality and flexibility it can utilize in determining which signals should inform that targeting, based on the context of a conversation.Articles cited in this piece:OpenAI's advertising opportunityGoogle's Gambit and Google's Gambit, Part 4: The end of Static SearchObviously, OpenAI will monetize with adsDigital Advertising, Demand Routing, and the Millionaires' MallSearch is the wrong mental model for chatbot advertisingThe prosperous societyThanks to the sponsors of this week's episode of the Mobile Dev Memo podcast:INCRMNTAL.

Can she get through to him while Apocalypse has taken over? What will she have to sacrifice in order to save him? That ends up not even being her choice as someone else steps in to make the sacrifice for her......and we're left in shock and tears once again....

Ukraine's deep-strike campaign is reaching farther into Russia, targeting refineries, warehouses, defense plants, air-defense systems, and critical infrastructure with growing frequency. In this episode of STRAT, retired Marine intelligence officer LtCol. Hal Kempfer examines whether Ukraine's expanding drone and missile program has created a strategic inflection point for Vladimir Putin. Kempfer explores the pressure on Russian air defenses, the economic consequences of disrupted energy and commercial networks, mounting battlefield casualties, labor shortages, and growing strains within Russia's political elite. He also considers the risks surrounding possible mobilization, escalation involving NATO, and the Kremlin's ability to maintain public confidence as attacks reach deeper into Russian territory. Finally, Kempfer examines the broader strategic implications of Ukraine's campaign, including parallels with American pressure on Iran, and asks whether Kyiv's evolving approach to long-range warfare could ultimately reshape the conflict, destabilize Putin's regime, and influence how future wars are fought for years worldwide.Takeaways:Ukraine's deep strikes are stretching Russian air defenses dangerously thin.Critical infrastructure attacks are increasing economic pressure across Russia.Putin faces mounting political risks from potential mass mobilization.Ukrainian strikes increasingly threaten Russia's energy and commercial networks.Russian casualties and labor shortages compound Kremlin economic pressures.Continued escalation could increase risks of confrontation involving NATO.Ukraine's campaign demonstrates warfare's growing emphasis on strategic disruption.Putin's greatest long-term threat may ultimately emerge from within Russia.#STRATPodcast #HalKempfer #MutualBroadcastingSystem #StrategicRiskAnalysis #UkrainesStrategicGambit #UkraineWar #Ukraine #Russia #Putin #VladimirPutin #DeepStrike #DroneWarfare #StrategicWarfare #RussiaUkraineWar #NATO #Geopolitics #NationalSecurity #MilitaryIntelligence #GlobalSecurity #StrategicAnalysis

If you have been aware of the whiskey scene in the past 20 years Chip Tate's name has came into conversation. Founder of Balcones Whiskey and Multi Brand blender/ master of distillery Lets Just say Chip has done the thing. I sit down with him and go over all of the process of whiskey/mescal/tequila/spirits. Hope you enjoy.ffws.com/spiritsBadmotivatorbarrels.com/shop/?aff=3https://www.instagram.com/zsmithwhiskeyandmixology?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==Patreon.com/offtopicwhiskeyChip Tate, who founded Texas-based Balcones Distilling in 2008 and took the craft world by storm with his unusual grain recipes and production techniques, was named master distiller for innovation at Foley Family Wines two years ago. The California-based wine company had branched into spirits with the acquisition of mothballed Nevada-based grain-to-glass distillery Bently Heritage Estate (later renamed Minden Mill) in May 2023, and there was a promise of more to come. Now that "more" is here—Tate has debuted Ampersand, an intriguing new trio of whiskies that melds his blending prowess with his love of cask finishes.Ampersand's three expressions are Malus, Vinea, and Opimus. Malus is a blend of 51% rye (sourced from Lawrenceburg, Indiana) and 49% calvados, an apple brandy native to Normandy, France, that is one of Tate's favorite spirits. While he fully acknowledges that Malus isn't a blended whiskey, it's something of a cousin. It's also a cheeky take on barrel finishing. “When you age in a sherry barrel, of course, a lot of what you're getting is from the wood, but sometimes there's a bit of actual sherry in there as well,” he says. “With Malus, I went ahead and turned up the volume and blended in calvados, rather than just finishing [in calvados casks].” Unsurprisingly, the fruit is tremendous on the nose and the palate, both of which brim with all manner of apple—crisp, sauce, juice, and more—as well as loads of baking spice and a touch of Heath Bar.With Vinea, Tate also spotlights a unique whiskey-based blend, as well as an intense cask finish. In the mid-2010s, Tate started a distillery project that ultimately never panned out; as part of that project, he traveled to France and selected top-tier cognac casks, brought them back to Texas, and filled them with grain spirit made from 100% corn to keep them from drying out.Chip TateWhile his intent wasn't to leave the spirit in those casks for any great length, they were ultimately forgotten; by the time Tate joined Foley, his out of sight, out of mind cognac casks were half-full of 9 year old grain spirit. “In the Texas heat, there's a lot of barrel extraction, so these casks were intensely tannic,” he explains. “They were also wonderfully weird, and I thought about what I could do with them.” In blending the finished spirit with whiskey, he landed on rye (the same Lawrenceburg rye used in Malus); the final blend is 75% rye and 25% grain spirit that's rich with notes of cinnamon spice, grape jelly, vanilla frosting, and barrel char.The most straightforward of Ampersand's first three expressions is Opimus, a 15 year old Kentucky bourbon finished in tokaji (Hungarian dessert wine) casks. Tate inherited the bourbon casks at the start of his Foley tenure in January 2024, and while he thought they were excellent, he also found the whiskey to be quite chewy and tannic. As a blender, that wasn't a problem for Tate—his next question was what to finish and or blend this liquid with, to get those flavors into balance. “I thought some really deep ripe fruit would be a perfect counterpoint to the tannic edge that you can get on a 15 year old bourbon, and the tokaji's bold, ripened fruit has a particularly luscious character that really comes through,” he says. The whiskey spent 10 months in tokaji casks, and it certainly packs a sumptuous, fruity punch, redolent with quince paste, Fig Newton, stewed plums, candied orange, fudgy caramel, and plenty of hot baking spice.

# X-Men '97 Season 2 ReviewRC the Commission and co-host Sam Howe break down the highs and lows of X-Men '97 Season 2, from the show's crowded storytelling and uneven pacing to the emotional fallout around Magneto, Gambit, Rogue, and Wolverine. They also look ahead to Season 3, including where the series might go with Graydon Creed, Onslaught, Krakoa, and a more politically charged mutant conflict.## Key topics- In this episode, RC the Commission and Sam Howe give their overall Season 2 score and both settle on a mixed response, with Sam landing at a 6 out of 10.- They argue that the season felt wildly uneven, especially after the Wolverine standalone episode, which Sam calls the standout of the season.- They discuss how the season seemed to suffer from rewrites after Bo DeMeo's exit, including the possibility that an originally planned 10 episode season was cut down.- They compare Season 2 to Season 1, saying the first season worked better because it had decades of X-Men history to build on, while Season 2 had to build mostly from scratch.- They criticize the back half of the season for feeling overloaded, with too many characters and arcs competing for space, including Polaris, Danger, Gambit, Rogue, Storm, Weapon X, and X-Factor.- They talk about how the season often used characters as plot pieces rather than giving them meaningful development, especially Rogue, Storm, Mystique, and Graydon Creed.- They break down the Gambit storyline and say his return, sacrifice, and emotional payoff felt muddled despite the character's importance.- They praise Nightcrawler's trial scene with Graydon Creed as one of the best character moments of the season, especially for how it handled forgiveness and self hatred.- They say the show lost some of its political edge in the second half, with Graydon Creed's rise to power feeling rushed and underexplained.- They look ahead to Season 3 and expect the series to move toward a stronger mutant versus government conflict, possibly involving Krakoa, Onslaught, and a more adversarial Xavier and Cyclops dynamic.## Timestamps00:00 - Opening the Season 2 review and setting expectations 00:43 - First impressions and overall score 01:57 - Why Season 2 felt more crowded than Season 1 04:08 - Original plans for Onslaught, Polaris, and the Age of Apocalypse 06:05 - Rogue, Storm, and the emotional weight problem 07:31 - Why the Wolverine episode worked and where it fell short 09:24 - Death, resurrection, and why consequences felt cheap 11:31 - Story prioritization over character development 13:13 - The abandoned Onslaught setup and rewritten back half 16:35 - Xavier and Magneto as emotional subtext 18:35 - The season's weakened political viewpoint 20:55 - Graydon Creed, Val Cooper, and rushed government plotting 24:06 - Nightcrawler's standout trial scene 25:42 - Why Danger EXE was the weakest episode 27:48 - Too many new characters, too little time at the school 29:24 - Why Season 1 felt more specific and satisfying 31:18 - Where Season 3 could go from here 34:15 - Xavier and Cyclops as morally gray leaders 39:29 - Thoughts on casting and the MCU's mutant setup 41:34 - How Spider-Man: Brand New Day overstuffed its story 43:14 - Early casting reactions, including Adam Driver as Mr. Sinister 45:36 - Krakoa, Genosha, and the next mutant status quo 47:02 - Favorite part of the season: returning to the X-Men world 49:47 - Worst part of the season: lack of direction and consequence 51:17 - Why Gambit's arc was the biggest disappointment 52:44 - Favorite late-season moment: Xavier's attack on Apocalypse 53:47 - Why Season 3 needs to arrive faster and do more 55:07 - Closing thoughts and Patreon shoutout## Notable quotes> “It is a wildly uneven season.”> “The best writing is so specific that it becomes universal.”> “I need to go back and watch anything from my childhood.”
Send us a text! We'd love to hear your thoughts on the show.In this episode of The Resilient Writers Radio Show, I'm joined by dark fantasy author A. L. Sinclair for a fascinating conversation about historical fantasy, feminist storytelling, creative resilience, and what it takes to keep writing when the publishing journey feels especially difficult.A. L. is the author of The Witch Queen's Gambit, a sharp, sensual, and subversive Anne Boleyn retelling that blends history, witchcraft, queer romance, mythology, and feminine rage. If you love stories that take familiar history and turn it in a bold new direction, you'll find plenty to enjoy in this conversation.We talk about why Anne Boleyn remains such a compelling figure and how her story reflects the ways powerful women are still judged, misrepresented, and turned into villains. A. L. explains how she took the rumours and mythology surrounding Anne and transformed them into a story where the so-called villain becomes someone readers can understand and root for.We also explore the balance between historical accuracy and creative freedom. A. L. shares how she researches the Tudor era, decides which historical details to retain, and allows the fantasy elements of the story to reshape what might have happened. It's a helpful reminder that research should support the story rather than overwhelm it.Our conversation also moves into writing romance and intimate scenes with purpose. A. L. talks about consent, power, pleasure, and why every scene needs to contribute to the character arc or move the story forward. Rather than adding spice simply because readers may expect it, she approaches those scenes as an important part of character development and emotional connection.One of my favourite parts of this episode is our discussion about where stories begin. For A. L., they begin with character. She listens for the character's voice, motivation, pain, and desire, then follows those emotional threads into the story.We also talk honestly about rejection. A. L. received more than 200 rejections while querying one of her novels. She shares how her background in somatic healing helped her sit with the discomfort of rejection without allowing it to define her or her work.This episode is a powerful reminder that rejection is not always a verdict on your talent. Sometimes it is information. Sometimes it is timing. Sometimes it is simply one person saying that a book is not right for them.If you're navigating the query trenches, revising a manuscript, or trying to protect your creative confidence, this conversation will help you approach your writing life with more courage, curiosity, and resilience.
Todd Ritter flies solo as host this week on The Bourbon Road, welcoming Chip Tate — Master Distiller of Innovation for Ampersand Spirits (a Foley Family Spirits project) — for a deep dive into one of the most inventive new whiskey series to hit shelves. Chip brings his decades of distilling philosophy, his background founding Balcones Distillery in Texas, and his stint crafting copper pot stills, all to bear on a four-expression lineup that challenges every assumption about what American whiskey can be. From a nine-year-old neutral grain spirit aged in ex-cognac barrels to a six-way wine barrel finish on a high-malt bourbon, every pour here tells a story of deliberate curiosity. On the Tasting Mat: - Ampersand Vinea: A 92-proof blend of 75% rye whiskey and 25% neutral grain spirit that spent over nine years in ex-cognac barrels — a happy accident born when barrels bought in France in 2015 for another project were kept wet and simply never emptied. The result is thin in body but surprisingly aromatic, with grapevine, cognac-cask fruit esters, and a firm French-oak tannin structure that recalls aged Scottish grain whiskey. Non-chill filtered. *(00:01:28)* - Ampersand Malice: Also at 92 proof and non-chill filtered, Malice blends 51% rye whiskey with 49% Calvados (French apple brandy) into a cross-category spirit that Chip frames as a chef sourcing ingredients from two different farms. The nose erupts with apple-cinnamon potpourri; the palate delivers stewed apple, warming rye spice, and a richness that proves Calvados can stand toe-to-toe with a robust rye. MSRP $59.99. *(00:13:07)* - Ampersand Opumus (Batch 1 — 116.6 proof): The crown jewel of the lineup, Opumus starts with 15-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon (sourced from Wild Turkey) that Chip found overly tannic on its own, then finishes it in Tokaji wine barrels for approximately one year per batch. At cask strength near 58.3% ABV, this is a dramatic whiskey: deep floral and juicy-fruit aromatics, stewed raisin, leather, tobacco, and a sweetness drawn from the mold-ripened Tokaji. Limited to roughly 55 barrels per release; when it's gone, it's gone. *(00:30:35)* - Gambit No. 6: Bottled at 92 proof (46% ABV) and non-chill filtered, Gambit begins with a six-year-old high-malt bourbon that first passes through stripped-and-re-toasted Chardonnay barrels before being split into four finishing streams — Oloroso Sherry, Muscatel, Tokaji, and Laird's apple brandy barrels — where it rests for 18-plus months. The resulting blend is deliberately Bordeaux-like in concept: the Chardonnay provides structure and brightness, the Oloroso brings nuttiness, the Tokaji adds juiciness, and the apple brandy ties every fruit note together. Soft, integrated, and sessionable at its proof. MSRP approximately $65. *(00:41:01)* Chip Tate is one of the most analytically minded distillers working in American craft spirits today, and this conversation makes that abundantly clear. Whether he's explaining why 46% ABV is the floor for non-chill filtration, drawing parallels between broken hollandaise and a misproofed blend, or describing how he shepherds hundreds of individual barrels through a six-way finish, his precision is matched only by his genuine love for the unexpected. Listeners who want to track down these bottles can find them through Southern Glazers distribution in most markets, or via direct-to-consumer options on the Ampersand and Gambit websites. A teaser for an upcoming fifth Ampersand release — described only as "a brother from another mother" to Opumus — should have fans of that expression paying close attention to Chip's Instagram at @ChipTateWhiskey.
This week we're covering two huge X-Men moments in one episode. First, we break down the back half of X-Men '97 Season 2 (episodes 5-9), Wolverine's Weapon X reunion, the Danger Room fallout, Colossus's turn to the Acolytes, Gambit's possession by Apocalypse, and that gut-punch finale where Nightcrawler sacrifices himself for Rogue. We also unpack the post-credits twist: Mystique replacing Val Cooper and Graydon Creed's election as President, and what that means for the Brotherhood of Mutants heading into Season 3. Then we shift gears to Marvel's live-action X-Men reboot, hitting theaters May 5, 2028. We react to the full cast reveal from D23: Sadie Sink as Jean Grey, Kit Connor as Cyclops, Christopher Abbott as Professor X, Samara Weaving as Emma Frost, Inde Navarrette as Rogue, Maya Boyd as Storm, and Adam Driver as Mister Sinister — including the debate around finally casting Storm right and whether an unknown-actor bet like Maya Boyd's could be Marvel's next Hugh Jackman moment. Timestamps 00:00 – Intro 00:21 – Ep 5, "Weapon X, Lies, and DVDs" – Wolverine, Morph, and Weapon X 02:30 – Overall reaction / going in with low expectations 03:39 – Ep 6, "Danger.exe" – grief, AI, and Polaris 05:21 – Ep 7 – redemption vs. inherited hatred (Nightcrawler/Creed) 08:54 – What the season was missing: a Gambit flashback 13:47 – Grief as the season's strongest through-line 18:53 – Season 3 easter eggs and setup 21:13 – Shifting to hype for the live-action X-Men movie 22:49 – Villain comparisons / tangent 25:59 – Adam Driver cast as Mister Sinister 28:15 – Christopher Abbott cast as Professor X 30:57 – Storm and Rogue casting speculation 35:29 – Final casting thoughts / wrap-up ~38:30 – Outro / where to find the show Follow Scene N Nerd on X, Blue Sky, Facebook, Instagram, and Threads, and visit SceneNNerdPodcast.com.

Marvel finally put the MCU X-Men cast on stage at D23, and Adam Driver as Mister Sinister might not even be the most interesting name on the list. Frank and Thomas break down the new Avengers: Doomsday trailer, the full X-Men lineup, the X-Men '97 season 2 finale, and the Lanterns premiere on HBO. The Doomsday conversation starts where most fan reactions did, with Robert Downey Jr.'s voice under the Doom mask, and moves into power scaling against Thor, the Reed and Victor history the trailer is quietly setting up, and which legacy characters are unlikely to survive December 18. From there it's the casting reveals: Christopher Abbott as a much younger Professor X, a Magneto without the Holocaust backstory, Inde Navarrette stepping into a role Lenore Zann has owned for three decades, and Maya Boyd going from Broadway to Storm with no screen credits at all. The back half turns critical. X-Men '97 season 2 lands an 8 out of 10 from both hosts, with a long argument about why the resurrection plotting undercut Nightcrawler's sacrifice and why the middle stretch never matched the Egypt episodes. Then it's full spoilers on Lanterns, including the ending, the Watchmen and True Detective fingerprints all over it, and predictions about the 2016 timeline and where Guy Gardner fits. 0:00 December 18 plans, Dune vs. Avengers Doomsday 2:20 Avengers Doomsday trailer, Doom's voice and power scaling 9:15 The MCU X-Men cast reveal from D23 22:50 Vision Quest first look and the case for bringing Ultron back 26:23 Star Wars Starfighter and the rest of the D23 slate 27:55 X-Men '97 season 2 finale review and grades 38:41 Lanterns series premiere, full spoilers 55:33 Weekly recommendations Key takeaways The Doomsday trailer sold Doom as a real successor to Thanos, largely on the strength of one shot stopping Stormbreaker and throwing Thor back. Marvel is casting the X-Men young on purpose. Magneto reportedly loses the Holocaust background entirely because of it, which Thomas calls pivotal enough to worry about. Inde Navarrette reads as an early, guarded Rogue rather than the fully powered version from the comics or X-Men '97, and the real question is how she sounds next to Lenore Zann's voice. Adam Driver as Mister Sinister lines up with the gene manipulation groundwork already laid in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. X-Men '97 season 2 gets an 8 from both hosts. The voice work, especially A.J. LoCascio's shift once Gambit takes back control, holds up even where the pacing does not. Lanterns plays like prestige HBO rather than DCU house style, and its best material is the pilot's first five minutes and the jailhouse interrogation, not the constructs. Quotes "How many times can you kill Patrick Stewart?" (Thomas, on the Doomsday casualty list) "This one felt like, oh, all hands on deck." (Thomas, on the Doomsday trailer) "The idea of resurrecting somebody needs to feel impossible to you." (Frank, on X-Men '97 season 2) "There's this cognitive dissonance for me with this season." (Thomas, on grading X-Men '97) "Both these men are living false perspectives of what it means to be a hero." (Frank, on Hal and John in Lanterns) All news covered on this episode comes from GeekFreaksPodcast.com, including the full D23 announcement roundup and the footage that never got an official release.

Donald Trump just keeps winning. And the conflict with Iran is no different. I have met with a few people who fancy themselves war strategists, and they love to explain to me how war is supposed to be fought. There are rules, traditions, doctrines, and apparently a handbook that Trump never bothered to read. They tell me Trump violates the established conventions of warfare. And I remind them that the British had a pretty impressive understanding of conventional warfare when they marched into the American Revolution. They had the greatest military in the world, trained soldiers, overwhelming resources, and a rather high opinion of themselves. It didn't work out particularly well for them. In fact, their tactics helped produce the very nation where I was born. One colonel put it to me rather bluntly: “Kevin, nobody stops and starts a war!” To which I responded: “Trump does.” And that gets to something I said on my radio show: Trump's war with Iran didn't begin when the first missiles flew. The war began long before that. Trump went to war with Iran's economy. He went after the money. He went after the oil. He went after the ships carrying the oil, the companies buying it, the banks moving the money, the shadow networks hiding it, and eventually the machinery Iran used to turn that money into missiles, drones and mayhem. And unlike the traditional battlefield, there was no need to fire a shot to start that war. That economic war never stopped. So before we start arguing about whether Trump fights wars the way wars have traditionally been fought, perhaps we should take a look at what he actually did to Iran's economy, how relentlessly he squeezed it, and how the economic battlefield was prepared long before the missiles ever started flying. Because the story of Trump's war with Iran doesn't begin with an explosion. It begins with a chokehold. Kevin Jackson has been called, the "white-collar" Joe Rogan.

Airbnb just partnered with TripAdvisor to bring 425,000 experiences onto its platform — a move that signals Brian Chesky isn't just dabbling in experiences anymore, he's building a second business inside the first. The crew breaks down what this means for the future of in-destination travel, why the real unfair advantage might already be sitting inside every host's guidebook, and whether this is Airbnb's best play in markets where short-term rental bans are tightening the grip on its core product. Edwin brings the European perspective: Barcelona's courts just sided with the city, 10,000 units disappear by 2029, and the ripple effects are spreading. Then the conversation shifts to IHG, which is taking a completely different approach to the owner economics pressure wave sweeping the industry. While Hilton cuts fees and Marriott rolls out rebates, IHG is pitching a full services package — marketing, digital support, training, group booking — and telling owners to trust the value. Edwin's challenge is sharp: don't tell me the service has value, show me the PL. The panel explores whether regional marketing studios could actually be the unlock and what happens when brands start making owners more dependent on infrastructure they don't control. The big closer: Blackstone just paid $2.5 billion for a 25% stake in AeroPlan, valuing Air Canada's loyalty program at $10 billion — more than the airline itself. Scott calls it a data and credit card gold mine. Ben says the airline business is a commodity and loyalty is where the differentiation lives. And somehow the whole thing detours into a love letter to Blackstone CEO John Gray's Instagram and why the best business development tool in 2026 might just be a jog through Central Park with your phone out. — This Week in Hospitality is presented to you by Journey.
