Power of X-Men: The Greatest Comic Book Podcast in All of the Multiverse!
This is it, folks! The PSYCHIC RESCUE episode!
In this episode, we plunge headfirst into the grim and morally complex world of A Dark Gambit, a fantasy RPG that throws out traditional tropes in favor of gritty realism, layered storytelling, and punishing decision-making. From managing a ragtag group of mercenaries to navigating deadly political alliances, I break down what makes this game so unforgettable and why it just might haunt you long after the credits roll. Whether you're a strategy buff, a narrative nerd, or just love good storytelling, this is an RPG worth your time... and your soul.
We kick off this week's episode with a quick apology and a warm welcome before diving into the latest Destiny 2 information.

We dig into the June 12th This Week At Bungie, including updates on Rite of the Nine, Edge of Fate reveal videos, and a quick guide to bounty prep for those getting ready for what's next. Big news on Ada-1's new role, Gunsmith and Shooting Range changes, we discuss the upcoming hiatus for Iron Banner & Gambit and wrap up with Patch 8.2.6.4 details, the Player Support Report, and a new lore segment from Not Arf & Noble, followed by tips, builds, and our usual community shoutouts.

In Esther 5, we see a contrast between Esther and Haman—and where each of them found their identity. Esther lived out her identity in God; Haman lived for his identity in himself. It's a challenging passage for all of us, because where we find our identity matters.
Min 5: MOBLAND (TIERRA DE MAFIOSOS): RITCHIE EN MODO PREMIUM Vibrante thriller criminal británico estrenado en Skyshowtime que pone en liza un sangriento duelo entre dos dinastías mafiosas londinenses: los Harrigan y los Stevenson . En el ojo del huracán se halla Harry Da Souza (interpretado por Tom Hardy), un “fixer” implacable cuyo arte es apagar incendios dentro y fuera de su clan, presidido por la elegante y brutal pareja Conrad (Pierce Brosnan) y Maeve Harrigan (Helen Mirren) El choque de clanes estalla cuando un incidente insensato y violento desata una espiral de traiciones, asesinatos y persecuciones, todo ello con el sello visual oscuro y estilizado que característico de Guy Ritchie. NOTA EDC: 4 estrellas Min 15: "ERICA", TRAS LOS PASOS DE ANGELA LANSBURY Thriller criminal francés de seis episodios, dirigido por Frédéric Berthe y protagonizado por Julie de Bona en el papel de Erica Faure. La serie sigue a una afamada escritora de novela negra que regresa a su pueblo natal, Port‑Clément, para gestionar la herencia de sus padres, solo para verse atrapada en la misteriosa muerte de una amiga de la infancia, a la que no cree un suicidio. Junto al capitán Patrick Saab (Grégory Fitoussi), Erica inicia una investigación que desentierra secretos del pasado y revela la cara oculta de este pintoresco lugar costero . Con un ambiente tenso y atmosférico, la serie combina el encanto del drama rural con el suspense del género negro, explorando cómo lo que aparece tranquilo en la superficie muchas veces oculta oscuros enigmas.

UU. para detonar un arma nuclear. La peligrosidad se intensifica con la llegada de Greta Nelso (Carrie‑Anne Moss), antiguo amor de Luke y espía alemana, cuyo regreso reaviva tensiones personales y profesionales en medio de traiciones internas (como la de Tina Mukerji, doble agente para Rusia).

Rivera, conocido por su trabajo en "The Queen's Gambit", firma un score que combina melodías melancólicas, guitarras acústicas dominantes y pasajes corales que reflejan el estado de "caída libre" emocional del protagonista, Carl Morck, tal y como confiesa el propio compositor en varias entrevistas. Disfrutamos de la selección de Ángel Luque, que le pone 3,5 estrellas.

The Chinese use Pakistan as a cheap instrument to triangulate India between them. It is safer to presume that the Chinese now see Pakistan as an extension of their Western Theatre Command. A two-front war is on. Except, the Chinese see no need to fight it directly. They have an able and willing proxy in Pakistan.

In a letter to Judge Subramanian regarding United States v. Combs, S3 24 Cr. 542 (AS), the Government addresses expected defense objections to specific aspects of testimony from Capricorn Clark. The defense is seeking to exclude Clark's statements related to a 2004 incident in which she was allegedly kidnapped and threatened, as well as testimony concerning statements made to her by Cassie Ventura about an alleged assault committed by Sean Combs.The Government argues that both portions of Clark's testimony should be admitted. They contend the threats made during the kidnapping are directly relevant to demonstrating the scope of the enterprise's coercive tactics and pattern of intimidation, central to the RICO charges. Additionally, Ventura's statements to Clark regarding abuse by Combs are presented as corroborative evidence of the defendant's conduct and the atmosphere of fear maintained within his inner circle. The Government maintains that these statements are admissible under established evidentiary rules, including hearsay exceptions, and are critical to establishing context and intent.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.628425.367.0.pdf

In Esther 3, we see the rise of Haman and the unfolding of a deadly plot fueled by pride and hatred. When Mordecai refuses to bow to him, Haman's wounded ego drives him to seek the extermination of all the Jews in the Persian Empire.This chapter exposes the dangers of unchecked pride and highlights how evil can gain momentum through positions of power. Yet, even in the face of looming genocide, we begin to see the hidden hand of God setting the stage for deliverance.Esther 3 reminds us that when darkness seems to prevail, God is neither absent nor inactive—He is quietly preparing His people for such a time as this.

On this episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold takes aim at the headlines dominating the midweek news cycle, starting with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' move to recognize gold and silver as legal tender. Jon questions the motives behind the legislation, suggesting it may be a calculated appeal to wealthy retirees or a play against the rising tide of Bitcoin. Speaking of Bitcoin, Herold breaks down Trump's latest crypto-friendly moves, including the push to integrate digital assets into 401(k) plans and the financial disruption on display at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Vegas, where GMoney made waves on the Rumble livestream. The auto-pen saga continues as Jon reviews Trump's scathing comments and David Sacks' claim that Elizabeth Warren was behind crypto-related executive orders. He remains skeptical but acknowledges the growing investigation. Updates on Judge Jeanine Pirro's appointment, NPR's First Amendment lawsuit, and race-based USDA loan forgiveness expose deeper structural rot. Herold also hammers Congress for stalling on codifying DOGE spending cuts, questions the true value of current FBI investigations, and highlights Trump's mock offer to make Canada the 51st state. With wit, frustration, and fire, Jon reminds listeners that until election integrity is restored, everything else is political theater.
In this sharp-edged edition of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Ashe in America break down the latest in political theater and policy posturing. They start with Trump's newly released video slamming Biden's classified document scandal, highlighting the damning testimony of Biden's ghostwriter, Robert Hur, and raising questions about just how much corruption can be ignored before justice is served. The duo then unpacks GOP internal chaos as House Republicans threaten to tank the upcoming budget over military promotions and controversial amendments, including Ukraine aid, abortion funding, and the ATF's pistol brace rule. Trump's strategic messaging on TikTok is also on the docket, as he continues to dominate engagement despite the platform's potential national security concerns. Ashe and CannCon also weigh in on media dishonesty, the weaponization of intelligence agencies, and the mainstream freakout over Trump's possible return to power. From RFK Jr.'s vaccination reversals to whispers of Biden's planned escape from the debate stage, this episode covers it all with unfiltered commentary, a few good laughs, and a whole lot of receipts. It's Badlands' trademark blend of truth, grit, and fire, cutting through the noise one headline at a time.
In this episode of Breaking History, Matt Ehret and Ghost dissect the increasingly bizarre geopolitical chessboard, with a focus on Trump's proposed “Golden Dome”, a space-based missile defense system that's drawing fire from Russia, China, and North Korea. The duo questions whether this grandiose plan is a legitimate defense strategy or a high-stakes narrative ploy designed to shift global attention and accelerate resolution through rhetorical escalation. They explore the possible kabuki theatre behind Trump's provocative language about Putin, suggesting Trump's public anger may be part of a broader strategy to neutralize warmongers and hijack the global narrative. Ghost connects the dots between Trump's media tactics and Sun Tzu's art of misdirection, while Matt takes a historical deep dive into U.S. encirclement strategies, NATO expansion, and the shadow influence of ancient imperial models like the Athenian Golden Age, ironically echoed by King Charles' pageantry in Canada. With talk of nuclear brinkmanship, elite cults, British monarchy theatrics, and the mythmaking machine of modern empire, this episode is a dense but entertaining breakdown of power, propaganda, and the stories we're told to believe. Buckle up, it's part geopolitics, part theater, and all Badlands.
Paul Hartnoll of electronic music duo Orbital talks about the reissue of the band's Brown album which was originally released in 1993, with the addition of 23 extra tracks of rarities and previously unreleased material and about the intersection between dance music and politics. Frances Wilson, who has previously published acclaimed biographies of D H Lawrence and Thomas De Quincy tells us about her latest book Electric Spark: The Enigma of Muriel Spark, about the great Scottish writer, poet and essayist. And the creator of Netflix's new detective series Dept. Q, Scott Frank, who previously wrote and directed The Queen's Gambit and has written the scripts for Hollywood movies from Minority Report to Marley & Me, talks to us about adapting bestselling Danish author Jussi Adler-Olsen's books for the screen and why he's transposed the setting for the series from Copenhagen to Edinburgh.

Is it a brazen troll or a coded battle cry against the Vatican, Davos, and the globalist elite? Joined by Teddy Pierce, author of Dethrone Davos: Save America, we decode the meme's hidden symbols, its timing with the Vatican's conclave, and its role in a spiritual and geopolitical war to dismantle entrenched power. From the fading Great Reset to the rise of symbolic warfare, discover how Trump wields ambiguity to challenge the old world-order and rally sovereignty movements worldwide. GUEST: Teddy Pierce is a fearless voice in the fight against globalism, wielding sharp insights as a writer, speaker, and political analyst. His book, Dethrone Davos: Save America, exposes the elite networks eroding national sovereignty and offers a bold vision to reclaim Western democracies.

The U.S. dollar is the lingua franca of the global financial system. The fact that so much of the world relies on our currency has long been understood as our exorbitant privilege — the reason we have so much leverage in the global economy and are able to borrow at lower interest rates.But the Trump administration has a much more complicated relationship with the dollar. It has come to see dollar dominance as a burden we bear on behalf of the rest of the world. But in its attempts to move away from dollar dominance, is the Trump administration on the verge of creating a financial crisis?Kenneth Rogoff is a former chief economist at the International Monetary Fund and a professor of economics at Harvard University. He has a book coming out called “Our Dollar, Your Problem.” In this conversation he walks through the history of dollar dominance, why it's been waning in recent years and what ripple effects the Trump administration's policies might have.This episode contains strong language.Book Recommendations:Muppets in Moscow by Natasha Lance RogoffThe Queen's Gambit by Walter TevisBenjamin Franklin by Walter IsaacsonThoughts?
