Theodor Holman is columnist en schrijver. Hij schreef 35 jaar lang columns voor het Parool, maar werd dit jaar onverwacht ontslagen. Hij is daar nog steeds woedend over en vindt dat ze hem onrechtvaardig hebben behandeld. Volgens hem is de echte reden van zijn ontslag namelijk zijn genocide standpunt. Deze opvattingen hebben ertoe geleid dat hij vrienden heeft verloren. Zelfs zijn vrouw en dochter zijn het vaak niet met hem eens. Hij was heel goed bevriend met Theo van Gogh. Ze inspireerden elkaar en hadden veel lol. Na de moord op Theo van Gogh heeft hij een jaar lang elke dag over zijn moord geschreven.

This week! Jeremy and Candace are joined by special guest Kelly Lynne D'Angelo! They dive into Kelly's nerdy origin story, the feeling of not quite fitting in while figuring out those younger years, and the importance of taking the time to truly listen. They chat about the adventure of creating Starry, a pop-rock musical about Vincent van Gogh, and reflect on how art shapes culture, the magic of community, and the joy of storytelling. Jeremy, Candace, and Kelly celebrate the beauty of sharing your story, staying true to your identity, and the small, powerful ways connection can transform lives before ending with some of Kelly's very exciting upcoming projects and Kelly's brilliant tale from the table.

„Ich hab ein Ohr mehr als Vincent van Gogh“ heißt es im Refrain. Der Song aus dem Debutalbum nimmt sich die bundesdeutsche Kunstszene vor und seziert sie genüsslich. Auch gesellschaftliche Probleme wie Rassismus oder Kriege beschäftigen die jungen Musiker. Mit dem selbsternannte Einhornpop haben sie sich in den sieben Jahren ihres Bestehens eine treue Fanbase erspielt. Sowohl live als auch digital, im eigenen Land und international. Frontfrau Eva Sauter und ihre Kollegen kennen sich aus der Mannheimer Popakademie und taten sich 2018 zur Band Ok. Danke Tschüs zusammen. Derzeit sind sie im Südwesten unterwegs, um ihr neues Album „Knutschen & Boxen“ vorzustellen. Ich hab ein Ohr mehr als Vincent van Gogh"

Barbara Stok is stripmaker. Ze schrijft voornamelijk autobiografische stripverhalen, zoals ‘Barbaraal tot op het bot'. In 2012 schreef Stok de beeldroman ‘Vincent', over het leven van Vincent van Gogh. Dit boek werd haar internationale doorbraak en verscheen in meer dan twintig landen. Ook schreef ze ‘De filosoof, de hond en de bruiloft', dat naast internationale erkenning meerdere prijzen won. Daarnaast heeft Stok een vaste strippagina in De Groene Amsterdammer en in tijdschrift en internetplatform Genoeg. Nu verschijnt haar nieuwe boek ‘Wat is goed leven?'. Het boek gaat over de filosoof Socrates, die aanspoort om vastgeroeste denkbeelden los te schudden. Ellen Deckwitz gaat met Barbara Stok in gesprek.

W dobie samoobsługowych sklepów otwartych 24/7 i aptek z nocnym dyżurem coraz częściej oczekujemy, że podstawowe potrzeby da się zaspokoić o każdej porze. A co z potrzebami duchowymi, które dają o sobie znać właśnie w nocy – kiedy bezsenność splata się z lękiem, a myśli krążą wokół spraw, których nie da się „wyłączyć”? Z takim pytaniem koresponduje rosnące w Polsce i w Europie zjawisko całodobowych miejsc modlitwy – kaplic wieczystej adoracji, dostępnych dla chętnych przez całą dobę.Wieczysta adoracja to inicjatywa, w której wspólnota organizuje dyżury modlitewne tak, by przestrzeń sakralna była otwarta i „strzeżona” non stop. Praktycznie oznacza to pozyskanie 168 osób – po jednej na każdą godzinę tygodnia – które deklarują obecność raz w tygodniu. Według relacji duszpasterzy i uczestników takie miejsca stają się dla wielu „nocną apteką” dla ducha: zdarzają się historie o ludziach, którzy schodzą z destrukcyjnych decyzji, znajdują ukojenie czy odzyskują perspektywę w chwilach kryzysu. Na koniec mam do Ciebie prośbę – jeśli kiedykolwiek doświadczyłeś adoracji, jeśli w ciszy znalazłeś pokój, odpowiedź albo po prostu chwilę wytchnienia – napisz o tym. Twoje słowa mogą stać się dla kogoś światłem w nocy, której sam nie potrafi przetrwać. Może to być jedno zdanie albo cała historia – o pierwszym wejściu do kaplicy, o „zastępstwie”, które zmieniło serce, o pokoju, który przyszedł pośród lęku. Podziel się swoim świadectwem w komentarzu lub wiadomości. Twoje doświadczenie może być czyimś początkiem drogi.

Vijf biografieën over prominente journalistieke figuren uit de twintigste eeuw – Jan Blokker, Theo van Gogh, Hugo Brandt Corstius, Ischa Meijer en Michaël Zeeman – zijn in de afgelopen twee jaar verschenen. Marja Pruis, hoofd van de cultuurredactie van De Groene, zag bij deze mannen een aantal opvallende overeenkomsten: allemaal hadden ze een groot ego, een grote mond en geen angst om hard of onaardig te zijn, zeker niet over vrouwen. Toen Pruis zelf als jonge student de journalistiek-literaire wereld wilde betreden, waren hun stemmen dominant. Ze keek tegen hen op. Later in haar studententijd werd ze activistischer en feministischer. Ze ketende zich vast aan hekken bij kerncentrales en las met een leesgroep De tweede sekse van Simone de Beauvoir. Langzaam kwam ze erachter dat ze een deel van de misogynie van deze mannen zelf had geïnternaliseerd – iets waarvan ze gelooft dat ze er nog steeds niet volledig van bevrijd is. In de podcast overpeinst Pruis wat deze mannen hebben betekend voor Nederland en voor haar persoonlijk. Ook reflecteert ze op de vraag of dit type man in de 21ste eeuw inmiddels is uitgestorven of nog steeds voortleeft.

In dieser Episode von Pile of Shame versammeln sich die Spiele-Enthusiasten Sven, Stephan, Tobi und Daniel, um über die ungespielten Titel in ihren Sammlungen zu sprechen. In einer inspirierenden und humorvollen Runde wird die Thematik der "Schamstapel" in Brettspielen behandelt – jene Spiele, die sich über Monate oder Jahre angesammelt haben, ohne je einen Tisch zu sehen. Wir beginnen mit Tobi, der das erste Spiel vorstellt, ein innovatives Stichspiel für zwei Personen mit einem künstlerischen Diskurs zwischen Vincent van Gogh und Paul Gauguin als Hintergrund. Das Spiel, das Tobi während der Spielemesse in Essen entdeckte, fasziniert mit seiner taktischen Tiefe und der Abwesenheit von Zahlen auf den Karten. Stattdessen werden die Aktionen durch farbige Marker beeinflusst, was zu einem strategischen Kampf wird. Tobi beschreibt begeistert seine Erfahrungen mit dem Spiel, das er im Urlaub mehrfach ausprobierte und das sich als idealer Zeitvertreib erwies. Sven folgt mit einer enthusiastischen Präsentation seines neuesten Erwerbs, einem hochpreisigen Kartenspiel, das er lange gemieden hatte, aber letztlich seinem Drang nicht widerstehen konnte. Er teilt die Herausforderungen des Deckbaus und die strategischen Überlegungen, die in solche Trading Card Games einfließen. Die Diskussion über die Vor- und Nachteile des Spiels, einschließlich der Kosten für Booster Packs und das berühmte Sammler-Dilemma, zeigt, wie tiefgreifend das Thema TCGs unter Brettspielern verankert ist. Im Anschluss präsentiert Stephan ein begeisterndes Deduktionsspiel mit einem Horror-Thema, das nicht nur die Spieler, sondern auch die Zuschauer in seinen Bann zieht. Er beschreibt die einzigartige Mechanik des Spiels, bei dem ein Spieler als Killer agiert und die anderen versuchen, ihn in einem spannenden Katz-und-Maus-Spiel zu überlisten. Die Interaktion zwischen den Spielern, die verschiedenen Strategien und die interessante Gestaltung des Spiels sorgen für Aufregung und Neugier. Abschließend zieht die Runde mit einem nostalgischen Blick zurück zu einem sehr alten Spiel, das Daniel mitgebracht hat. Obwohl das Spiel mechanisch einfach und nicht mehr zeitgemäß ist, kommt es für seine charmante Retro-Ästhetik und Nostalgie ins Gespräch. Die Diskussion über alte Spiele und deren zur damaligen Zeit einmalige Spielmechaniken bringt humorvolle Anekdoten hervor, während die Teilnehmer ihre Meinungen über den Wert von Nostalgie versus modernen Spielmechaniken austauschen.

Send us a textWhat if the most dangerous thing about AI isn't what it knows, but what we stop doing when it's always there to help? We open with a gut-check on where science and spirituality actually meet—no rivalry, just two lenses on the same mountain—and then trace how polite machines can slowly claim our choices if we trade discernment for convenience. The antidote isn't fear; it's mastery: rituals that protect attention, reverence that keeps tools off the altar, and a clear line between inquiry and idolatry.From there, we step into the healing power of sound. Chant, hymn, and even modern synthesizers share a purpose: to steady breath, ease the nervous system, and invite the mind into slower waves. If insomnia has become your nightly visitor, we offer practical resets—warm light, warm drink, phone truly off, a simple routine your body can trust—so sleep becomes a descent rather than a crash. We also face a hard news note on compassion for children, warning that cruelty sows seeds our culture can't afford to reap. Spiritual law keeps score; kindness is the only winning strategy.The conversation arcs to the Moon, where new missions, talk of a lunar nuclear reactor, and water at the South Pole raise thrilling possibilities and sobering responsibilities. Exploration without stewardship is just extraction in a spacesuit. Finally, we linger with Vincent van Gogh. His Starry Night isn't a sky report; it's a soul report—a vision from the threshold where pain sharpens perception. He painted what he felt, and it resonates now because so many of us feel half here, half elsewhere, in a world of relentless input. We close with a workable theology of action: ask, seek, knock. Purpose is practiced, not proclaimed. Choose tools as servants, not masters; choose easy when it's wiser, not lazier; and build a daily life that returns your attention to what matters.If this sparked a thought or settled your breath, follow and share the show.

How can you tap into your hidden intelligence and transform your life? The Army might be able to show you how. If you've ever wondered where such visionary creatives and decision-makers such as Steve Jobs, Vincent van Gogh, Abraham Lincoln, Maya Angelou, Nikola Tesla, Marie Curie, Albert Einstein, Warren Buffett, and William Shakespeare get their extraordinary mental abilities, join us for an intriguing talk with Angus Fletcher, professor at The Ohio State University. Researchers at Ohio State's Project Narrative in 2021 said they have an answer: primal intelligence—something that cannot be found in computers but is in humans and can be strengthened. In response, U.S. Army Special Operations incorporated primal training for its most classified units; according to Fletcher, they saw the future faster, healed more quickly from trauma, and chose more wisely in life-and-death situations. The Army then authorized trials on civilians—entrepreneurs, doctors, engineers, managers, coaches, teachers, investors, and NFL players. Their leadership and innovation reportedly improved significantly; they coped better with change and uncertainty, and they experienced less anger and anxiety. Then the Army provided primal training to college and K–12 classrooms, where it is said to have produced substantial effects in students as young as eight. Fletcher has brought this training to a wider audience in his new book Primal Intelligence: You Are Smarter Than You Know. Join us as he shares what he learned about this approach to using your brain—you just might end up thinking more like Jobs, Lincoln and Shakespeare. Learn more about your ad choices.

“Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.” — Vincent van Gogh

Tap into your hidden intelligence and transform your lifeHow are some people so much smarter than the rest of us? Where do visionary creatives and savvy decision-makers like Vincent van Gogh, Steve Jobs, Abraham Lincoln, Maya Angelou, Nikola Tesla, Marie Curie, Albert Einstein, Wayne Gretzky, Warren Buffett, and William Shakespeare get their extraordinary mental abilities?In 2021, researchers at Ohio State's Project Narrative, renowned for collaborations with NASA, Hollywood, and Silicon Valley, announced they had the answer. They named it Primal Intelligence. And they published scientific proof that Primal Intelligence was impossible for computers—but could be strengthened in humans.Intrigued, U.S. Army Special Operations developed Primal training for its most classified units. The training succeeded. The Operators saw the future faster. They healed quicker from trauma.

Finally, the Army provided Primal training to college and K-12 classrooms. It produced substantial effects in students as young as eight.That revolutionary training is now available for the first time in this book. It's not an optimization hack or a cheat code. It's a different way of using your brain.

Geoff and Marie's Good Life: Part 11Going DancingThey meet Mia's mum and rethink their terms and conditions.Based on posts by Only In My Mind, in 15 parts. Listen to the Podcast at Explicit Novels.My name is Geoff. If you are reading my stories in chronological order you will know that my wife and I are both retired and involved, sexually, with several of her friends. One in particular, Angie, is so close to us that we have invited her to be a third person in our relationship and, to that end, we are planning a Star Wars themed ceremony to celebrate our union in front of family and friends.Gone Dancing.This account begins one Thursday, when our grandson had invited a friend's mum to visit us after school. Colin, said grandson, had asked us if he could invite Mia, a school friend, to our wedding as his plus-one. I agreed, on condition that her mum was okay with Mia attending and approved of her choice of outfit. As we were having our costumes designed and made by students at the local university's fashion design faculty, at our expense, I had veto rights and I thought Mia's choice was fine. But still, if Mia's mum thought that her daughter's costume would be inappropriate, they would have to agree on something else. That was why I wanted to meet them both.Mia's mum, well, she had told Colin that she wanted to talk to us because she was a little confused. I assumed that was because Colin had asked her daughter to accompany him to a wedding involving three people, with the participants and guests dressed in Sci-Fi characters' costumes. I respected the lady for wanting to know a little more about us under the circumstances, before she consented.Anyway, that was only one issue I faced that Thursday. The other was that the previous evening Lucy, an unhappily married artist in her early sixties, had offered herself to me as a free-use fuck-toy. Oddly enough, it took the three women to persuade me to accept her offer; I know; You would have snapped her hand off if it had been you; I'm a worrier, so I didn't.The thing is, the girls (their words) suggested that Lucy wanted to help me to explore my inner self. As a retired materials science researcher, that wasn't something that came naturally to me: as an artist, it was what Lucy tried to do whenever she could. Eventually, of course, I caved and the following hour or so found her bound and gagged, tortured with vibrators, nipple clamps, heat, cold and whips before I finally had sex with her, twice. Fortunately, she loved it. Unfortunately Marie, my wife, found my apparent excesses disturbing. That morning, she seemed as though she was still trying to come to terms with why.Marie seemed subdued as we ate breakfast. "Are we okay?" I asked, hesitantly, uncertain as to whether I'd strayed over some obvious boundary the previous evening."WE are fine," she tried to reassure me. "I, on the other hand, am finding that I'm not nearly as sexually secure as I try to try to pretend."I took a leaf out of Ronan Keating's book, or his songbook anyway. Oh, come on; 'You say it best when you say nothing at all'. Surely? Never mind. I sat quietly waiting for my wife to gather her thoughts.Her eyes filled with tears. I stood, took her hand and led her to the living room. I sat her on the sofa and cuddled up next to her. "When you're ready, I'm here for you," I told her. "You don't have to, but I hope you trust me enough to share whatever it is that's troubling you."She gave a brave little smile as she took a tissue from the box on the coffee table. "It's such a long time ago. It felt like it happened to someone else, until Lucy described what you did to her: Then something just felt so wrong. I realized, only this morning, what it was."I didn't feel so flippant now. But she was happy to talk without prompting, so I let her set her own pace.Taking a deep breath, she resumed her explanation. "We were both about ten or eleven. My cousin Paul and me. We were just playing together in the garden one summer and he found some twine. We were comfortable with each other so I let him tie my hands behind my back and he tickled me. It was awful. I cried. Then he touched me, because he could. I couldn't stop him. I was bound and totally helpless. I started to scream and he let me go. I never told anyone and, by the time I met you, he was dead. He had joined the forces; a Para. He died in the Falklands."Marie wiped her eyes. "It was wrong but, if he'd said he was sorry, I'd have forgiven him. We were only kids. But, without realizing it, I've carried that memory, buried, for years." She look apologetically at me. "I'm sorry, Geoff. When Lucy described how helpless she felt, it reminded me of that experience. I don't think I can do it."I shook my head. She didn't understand. "Marie. What I did with Lucy was for her. Yes, I went further than I would usually have been comfortable with, but I made sure that she had opportunities to back out or stop at any time. She didn't." This was important to me. I knelt in front of Marie and looked her in the eye. "If I never do that again, I won't care. If it disturbs you, it will never be repeated. But I will never ask any of you to let me do anything that would hurt you. Lucy wants to do it again. Angie is desperate to try. Sam might enjoy something similar, so might Megan. But you, my love, you don't, so I don't want you to. It's that simple.""You aren't disappointed?" She seemed surprised."Not at all." I thought for a moment. "Well, yes; a little." Marie's eyes started to fill up again so I carried on, hurriedly. "I'm disappointed that you think I'd feel like that. I will never expect you to do anything you don't want to. I will always accept "No" as a complete answer. No need to justify or explain. Are you reassured?""I think so. I think that I feel better for telling you too.""What about the others?" I decided that while we were having this conversation it was the right time to set boundaries.She understood. "I think I was worried that you doing this, with them, would normalize it. That you'd do it to me without thinking, or worse, resent me for rejecting you." She looked at with genuine concern. "You wouldn't; would you?""Never. I know who you are and I think I've come to know what you like. By all means let's test our limits, but never to the point where one of us is unhappy. Are we agreed?"She seemed much happier. "Agreed. And, to be clear, you are free to do anything the other girls ask you to. It was Lucy who bragged about what you did, not you. And she obviously relished every second." Marie pondered for a moment. "Well, afterwards, possibly not during," she grinned.We sat for a little while then went back to the kitchen, where I made us both a fresh cup of tea to replace the drinks that had cooled while we'd talked. We were just finishing the washing up when my phone rang. It was Mike. I'd offered to pay for him to take his wife and sister in law to the pub the previous night to spy on Lucy's fuckwit husband. I'd forgotten that he'd promised an update that morning. I told my wife that I'd explain later and hit the 'Answer call' icon. As Lucy was Marie's friend it seemed only fair she heard our conversation. I switched my phone to speaker."Good morning Mike. Marie is here with me and you are on speaker. Hung over at all?" We heard a snort of laughter."You should know, when you're involved with two women then obviously you get twice as much supervision. So no," he replied.Marie looked enquiringly at me. "Mike, Marie is just finding out that I asked you to do some spying for me. Tell us, was Eddie there?""He was. And the group he was with were an obnoxious crew. Loud, foul mouthed boors the lot of them. Not just the men either."Marie and I shared a look. "So he plays darts with women too?""Darts?" Mike sounded surprised. "Who mentioned darts? They don't even have a dartboard in The Fox and Hounds.""Well," I explained. "Eddie told his wife, a friend of ours, that Wednesday night is now his darts night.""Sorry Geoff," Mike replied. "The only double top your mate was interested in was bulging out of the low cut blouse belonging to the tarty looking slapper he was buying drinks for all night."Whatever vestiges of guilt I'd felt for including Lucy in our 'language classes' evaporated instantly.I needed to be certain. "Are you sure it was Eddie?""I thought you might ask, so I took a photo of my two best girls and made sure that my target was clearly visible behind them. I'm sending it now." A picture of two pleasant looking women in their forties popped on my screen. Marie and I both recognized Lucy's husband in the background. We didn't recognize the plain, big titted woman with her arm around his neck."Asshole!" Marie growled. I was puzzled. Lucy was admittedly at least fifteen years older than the woman with her arm around Eddie but she (Lucy) was slimmer, prettier and, from personal experience, a sexual dynamo. Why the Hell was Eddie rejecting sex with Lucy while he's all over the pooch in the pub?I reminded Mike that he and his ladies were invited to our wedding and suggested that they look on-line for costume ideas. I warned him that some had already been chosen but they had all of the film and TV franchises to choose from, so duplication shouldn't be an issue. He promised to send me images once they'd made their minds up. Becky, his wife, was excited to be invited and wanted to do something similar for their shared lover, Ruth, though Harry Potter was more their style.I reminded him to text his bank details so that I could pay my dues and, after we said our goodbyes, I turned to Marie. "Why?" Was all I said. She understood perfectly."I know Lucy is my friend but; That other woman, she's;” I was impressed. It takes a lot to render my wife speechless.I had to ask. "Has Lucy ever said anything to make you think that there are some er, activities, that are off limits?""For God's sake, Geoff!" She retorted. "Only last night she offered herself to you as a free-use fuck-doll. She's always been sexually adventurous." She looked puzzled. "I can't begin to imagine what that busty blob has that Lucy hasn't."Neither could I, so we shelved that conversation for later and turned our attention to preparing for our guests that evening. After changing the bedding from the previous evening's entertainment, we sat and decided on our menus for the coming week. A quick check to see if any store-cupboard items needed replenishing and we were off to our local supermarket. Marie hit the sea-food counter while I dawdled in the wine aisle. There was an offer on, so I loaded up on some old favorites and added a couple of bottles I'd not tried before. An Alvarinho vinho verde from Portugal caught my eye. It seemed an ideal partner for that evening's seafood dish. Into the trolley it went."What?" I tried to look innocent when Marie caught up with me. "There's twenty percent off. The more I buy, the more we save." She shook her head and guided me gently, but firmly, to the produce aisle. We returned home without further incident.Angie joined us after lunch and we worked happily together prepping for our evening meal. There would be six of us at the table, but we made sure that there would be some leftovers for Linda, our daughter. She was taking the opportunity to use her early finish to get her hair done while Colin ate with us.Short grain rice, seafood, onion, peppers, garlic and peas. Fish stock, tomatoes, chorizo and a pinch of saffron. All laid out ready for Marie to cook. It was her turn, once we'd had a chat with our visitors."Angie?" I asked, to get her attention.She looked up from cleaning a piece of squid. "Yes dear?" We were being unusually domesticated so her mischievous grin was probably warranted.I know you helped me cook breakfast, but you've never invited us to eat at your place. Do you cook or what?"I noticed that my wife was now concentrating very intently on de-veining a prawn, suspiciously so."I can cook," Angie admitted. I could tell that there was a 'but' about to make an appearance. "Quite well, in fact. But." Yes! I knew it was coming. "I get really bitchy if someone is helping in my kitchen and they don't do exactly as I say.""But you're okay doing this?" I persisted."Of course." She seemed to find the question rather ridiculous. "You ask me to rinse this; I'll rinse it. We're fine. But: In my kitchen, if I ask you to brown some onion in a pan, I expect you to use the correct pan, the right amount of the right sort of oil and to produce perfectly sliced onion cooked to precisely the right color exactly when I need it. Otherwise I tend to get a bit cross." She looked a little uncomfortable. "I know. That makes me sound like Gordon Ramsey with tits, but it's how I am."Marie was trying to keep a straight face but eventually surrendered. "I once tried to help her prepare a meal to impress her first husband's boss and his wife. I was slicing some carrots and the julienne were slightly different sizes. She threw them in the bin and we nearly came to blows. In the end I just did the washing up and let her highness rule the kitchen. It wasn't worth the grief." Marie reached across and hugged her friend. "I still love you though. Even after that." They were both laughing as we finished off and tidied up.We sat and watched some more of our Star Wars episodes while we waited for Mia's mum to arrive with the two teens. Exactly on schedule, the front door burst open and Colin bawled, "Hi everybody. We're here!" Marie went to greet our visitors while Angie and I turned off the TV and stood ready to meet Mia and her mum for the first time.Colin booled in first, dragging a tall, pretty teenage girl by the hand. "This is Mia," he informed us. "This is my grandad," he pointed me out to his friend. "And this is Grangie," he said proudly. "They're all really clever, but Grangie is especially smart." He dropped his voice to a hoarse whisper. "She's why your mum wants to meet. I think we're best off keeping out of the way." He dragged her away to the study giving her little chance to say anything but a squeaked, "Hi" before they disappeared.Marie ushered a buxom woman in her late thirties, an amazon, think Brienne of Tarth from Game of Thrones, into the room and they both stood for a moment, presumably wondering where the kids were. Marie collected her wits. "Wendy, this is my husband Geoff." I nodded a welcome. "And this is our special friend Angie." Angie copied my greeting. "Obviously, this is Mia's mum, Wendy."Now the introductions were done, Marie asked if Wendy wanted a drink and we all decided on a cup of tea. Angie was anxious to help, she isn't at her best in situations like this, so it fell to me to entertain our guest. We chatted about the two kids and I took the opportunity to size up our new acquaintance. That was probably a rather Freudian slip. Wendy was a big lady. Not obese, even plump would be a misdescription; it just seemed as though there was a lot of her. She seemed to relax as we spoke. Colin was obviously comfortable in our home, the noises from the kitchen were reassuringly domestic and I made it a point not to stare at her magnificent bosom.She was, in fact, a rather attractive woman. Pleasant, open features, a nice smile, long brown hair past her shoulders and, as I may have implied, spectacularly large tits. I made a mental note to ask Marie what cup size she thought Wendy required: purely for reporting purposes, of course. The other thing of note was that she was at least as tall as me; probably an inch or more taller.Marie bustled in carrying a tray with four cups and Angie followed with a plate bearing biscuits and cakes. Marie excused herself for a moment while she went to remind Colin to make sure his guest was properly catered for. Apparently they assured her that they were fine and would raid the kitchen once homework was done.Marie looked to me. Right; I was elected spokesman. "So Wendy," I began, settling back in my seat to seem less intense. "Colin has invited Mia to be his plus one at our ceremony and you are wondering what's going on. Is that a fair summary?"She took a sip of her tea before she replied. "I'm sure you can see why that is. I don't mean to pry but Mia's welfare has to be my priority."Neither of the girls seemed inclined to contribute yet so I soldiered on. "Angie here has been my wife's closest friend, since before we were married. I've always been fond of her too. But recently," I looked at the girls, they seemed happy with my approach. "Our feelings have intensified and we both regard her as being more than just a friend. We realized that we are both emotionally attached to her, and her to us." I paused to make sure that Wendy was on the same page, or at least not stricken with horror. In the absence of any expression of disgust, I continued. "We want to declare our affection publicly and formalize, as best we can within the law, our new relationship. Marie and I have already had a traditional wedding; so has Angela; twice, in fact. We decided that a themed ceremony might be more entertaining for us and our guests."She seemed interested rather than appalled so I kept going. "Hence Colin's invitation to Mia to accompany him in a costume to fit in with our Star Wars theme." I decided that was a good place to stop for feedback."So this 'ceremony' that Colin has invited my daughter to is to acknowledge you two, a legally married couple, inviting you, Angela, into your relationship?" She paused, gazing thoughtfully at us all. "That's so lovely. I wish more people would open themselves up to their feelings like that." Her smile as she spoke illuminated the room."Does that mean you are okay with Mia attending with Colin?" Marie asked. "They will be the youngest ones there."Wendy was dismissive. "Colin is a lovely polite lad. His mother seems nice and I'm not getting any worrying vibes from any of you. I'm happy and Mia seems keen to be there.""Has she discussed her outfit?" That was me."Her dad was a fan of the films, so I think I've seen them all. Most of the costumes are fairly tame, and the one Mia showed me, the white stretch suit, is no more revealing than the tight joggers and crop tops girls her age wear every weekend to go shopping." She looked a little wistful.I glanced at my wife and got an almost imperceptible nod in reply. "Wendy. If you'd like, we'd be happy to extend the invitation to you too; if you don't think Mia would think you were being a third wheel on their date.""Who would I go as?" She snorted. "Jabba the Hutt? I mean, look at me."We did. She was tall, broad shouldered but proportioned, with an actual waistline. Her long hair and feminine features rather mitigated her size. Did I mention her boobs? She had a lovely complexion too. All in all she was a big sexy woman who didn't see what we did.Angie said what I was just beginning to consider. "Cara Dune," she blurted out. Then, putting her hand to her mouth, she looked to me to rescue her. Wendy seemed nonplussed."We're part way through watching some TV spinoffs," I explained. "Angie and I admit to being Sci-Fi nerds. One of the female characters, Cara Dune, is a powerfully built woman. Let Marie show you the costume she has chosen already while Angie finds some Cara images. Meanwhile, I'll go and check on the kids."I left the three women scrolling through their phones and sought out the two teenagers in the study. I made sure they heard me coming; I wasn't trying to catch them having a quiet cuddle. In reality, they were both reading studiously when I opened the door. I smiled to myself. Colin's book was upside down. I pointed and made circle motion with my finger. He looked puzzled then down at his book and blushed. "Drat! Mia, we've been busted."I shook my head and tapped the side of my nose. "Be sensible and be discreet. That's all we expect. Now do you want anything in the kitchen?"They both declined so I left them to their 'reading'. I left the door open, just to make a point.Back in the living room, the three women were happily comparing notes. Wendy loved the idea of Mia in white and Colin in black. She was amazed at the warrior costume Marie had chosen and how similar in principle it was to Cara Dune's. She was obviously intrigued by our idea."The thing is," Wendy said, hesitantly. "I'm not sure that I can really afford two costumes. Not this intricate, anyway.""Sweetheart, that's not your problem," Angie reassured her. "I'm paying for everyone's costume. We're having them all individually made at my expense. You just have to turn up to get measured."Wendy wasn't convinced. "You don't want

Kirk Douglas (born Issur Danielovitch; December 9, 1916 – February 5, 2020) was an American actor and filmmaker. After an impoverished childhood, he made his film debut in The Strange Love of Martha Ivers (1946) with Barbara Stanwyck. Douglas soon developed into a leading box-office star throughout the 1950s, known for serious dramas, including westerns and war films. During his career, he appeared in more than 90 films and was known for his explosive acting style. He was named by the American Film Institute the 17th-greatest male star of Classic Hollywood cinema.Douglas played an unscrupulous boxing hero in Champion (1949), which brought him his first nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actor. His other early films include Out of the Past (1947); Young Man with a Horn (1950), playing opposite Lauren Bacall and Doris Day; Ace in the Hole (1951); and Detective Story (1951), for which he received a Golden Globe nomination. He received his second Oscar nomination for his dramatic role in The Bad and the Beautiful (1952), opposite Lana Turner, and earned his third for portraying Vincent van Gogh in Lust for Life (1956), a role for which he won the Golden Globe for the Best Actor in a Drama. He also starred with James Mason in the adventure 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954), a large box-office hit.In September 1949 at the age of 32, he established Bryna Productions, which began producing films as varied as Paths of Glory (1957) and Spartacus (1960). In those two films, he collaborated with the then relatively unknown director Stanley Kubrick, taking lead roles in both films. Douglas arguably helped to break the Hollywood blacklist by having Dalton Trumbo write Spartacus with an official on-screen credit.[1] He produced and starred in Lonely Are the Brave (1962) and Seven Days in May (1964), the latter opposite Burt Lancaster, with whom he made seven films. In 1963, he starred in the Broadway play One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, a story that he purchased and later gave to his son Michael Douglas, who turned it into an Oscar-winning film. Douglas continued acting into the 1980s, appearing in such films as Saturn 3 (1980), The Man from Snowy River (1982), Tough Guys (1986), a reunion with Lancaster, and in the television version of Inherit the Wind (1988) plus in an episode of Touched by an Angel in 2000, for which he received his third nomination for an Emmy Award.As an actor and philanthropist, Douglas received an Academy Honorary Award for Lifetime Achievement and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. As an author, he wrote ten novels and memoirs. After barely surviving a helicopter crash in 1991 and then suffering a stroke in 1996, he focused on renewing his spiritual and religious life. He lived with his second wife, producer Anne Buydens, until his death in 2020. A centenarian, Douglas was one of the last surviving stars of the film industry's Golden Age.[2]PICTURE: By Unknown author - http://www.acertaincinema.com/browse/person/kirk-douglas/?p1=24&p2=1&p3=1&p4=1, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=19914066

Op 8 september 1888 wordt rond een uur of 6 in de ochtend het ontzielde lichaam van Annie Chapman gevonden en zij zal de geschiedenis ingaan als het tweede slachtoffer van Jack the Ripper. Annie kwam oorspronkelijk uit een nette familie maar ze hield nogal van een borrel en was door de jaren heen afgegleden naar een onzeker bestaan. Ze verkocht zelfgehaakte bloemen en schnabbelde af en toe wat bij als sekswerker. In de vroege ochtend van 8 september blijtk dat ze niet genoeg geld heeft om die nacvht voor haar bed te betalen en daarom gaat ze de straat op: zeg tegen de huisbaas dat hij mijn bed vrijhoudt, ik ben zo terug, roept ze nog als ze vertrekt. Rond 5.30 's ochtends wordt ze nog gezien en een half uur later wordt ze dood gevonden. Ze is verschrikkelijk toegetakeld, de tweede vrouw in korte tijd die op deze manier is vermoord  en heel Londen is hierna in blinde paniek: een seriemoordenaar die het voorzien heeft op vrouwen.  . Jack the Ripper is nooit gepakt, maar er is een hele rij aan verdachten waaronder een Poolse kapper en een Britse prins. Mijn persoonlijke favoriet voor Jack the Ripper is... Vincent van Gogh! Daar is echt helemaal geen bewijs voor, maar de theorie is hlarisch.  Ik maakte over een podcast over de dood, en mogelijke moord, op Vincent van Gogh, luister die vooral!

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the Dutch artist famous for starry nights and sunflowers, self portraits and simple chairs. These are images known the world over, and Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) painted them and around 900 others in the last decade of his short, brilliant life and, famously, in that lifetime he made only one recorded sale. Yet within a few decades after his death these extraordinary works, with all their colour and life, became the most desirable of all modern art, propelled in part by the story of Vincent van Gogh's struggle with mental health.

This week, we take on Apuleius' The Golden Ass, a hilarious surprise from Ted Gioia's Immersive Humanities Course. Written in the mid-300s A.D., this is the very first Latin prose novel, penned by Algerian-born Apuleius. Lucius, our hero, is a young man who meddles in magic, transforms into a donkey, and embarks on wild adventures before returning to human form. We were so captivated that note-taking fell by the wayside, much like with Herodotus' Histories. This rollicking tale, brimming with late-Roman-Empire themes, proved both hilarious and profound.Unlike Aristotle's structured tragedy guidelines (see Week 5's Poetics), The Golden Ass defies unity of action, place, and time, weaving a tapestry of digressions and sub-stories. Lucius' transformation serves as a spine for tales like “I heard…” or “So they told me…,” echoing the nested narratives of The Odyssey and The Aeneid. The standout sub-story is the myth of Cupid and Psyche, the earliest known version, which stunned us as the inspiration for C.S. Lewis' Till We Have Faces. Its late appearance for a myth feels significant, reflecting a decadent, fatigued Roman worldview. Fortune, personified as in Boethius' Consolation of Philosophy, reappears, underscoring this era's preoccupations.Sarah Ruden's translation is a triumph, preserving Apuleius' puns, alliteration, and bawdy humor. This farce, second only to Lysistrata in humor, is delightfully NSFW, with outrageous scenes that shocked even our son Jack. Ruden notes comparisons to modern humorists like Wodehouse or George MacDonald Fraser's Flashman series, and we see parallels to Forrest Gump—Lucius stumbles through events without driving the plot. The book's influence extends to A Confederacy of Dunces, sparking new reading threads for us, exactly why we joined this course.We paired this with Scott Joplin's ragtime, evoking The Sting's lively vibe. Initially, the rags blended together, but subtle differences, like occasional piano percussion, emerged over time, enriching our listening. Next week, we continue with more narrative, music, and art, including Vincent van Gogh's works, in this eclectic journey. Join us next week as we travel east and read The Arabian Nights.LINKTed Gioia/The Honest Broker's 12-Month Immersive Humanities Course (paywalled!)My Amazon Book List (NOT an affiliate link)O Brother Where Art ThouCirceRagtime (The Sting, YouTube)Young Gun Silver FoxTed's "New" Yacht Rock postCONNECTTo read more of my writing, visit my Substack - https://www.cheryldrury.substack.com.Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/cldrury/ LISTENSpotify -

David Beth has spent half a lifetime exploring the hidden aspects of consciousness, the malaise of the modern mind, the essences of divine archetypes and forms.We speak of how the Western World is a world only in concept, because it is based on safety, predictability and preconceived notions of what it should be. A reality based on human imposition. How do we re-establish a true relation with the world based on openness, listening and allowing, a world of never-ending creation, constantly making kosmos from kaos?DAVID BETH LINKShttps://theionpublishing.com/https://kosmic-gnosis.org/Intro text from the essay "Children of the Abyss"https://theionpublishing.com/shop/tfg_2revexp/PODCAST LINKS https://www.intheborderlands.com/ https://www.patreon.com/IntheBorderlands https://www.facebook.com/intheborderlands https://www.instagram.com/intheborderlands_podcast/ EMAIL contact@intheborderlands.com TORGRIM'S LINKS https://www.brittle.one/ https://www.facebook.com/kloverknekten https://www.instagram.com/kloverknekten/ MIKAEL'S LINKS https://smarturl.it/inanna https://www.facebook.com/mikael.oberg.performance.storyteller https://www.instagram.com/mikaelobergstoryteller/REFERENCESConjuring Creativityhttps://conjuringcreativity.org/Aleister Crowleyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleister_CrowleyThelemahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ThelemaAnthroposophyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AnthroposophyMichael Bertiauxhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_BertiauxHaitian Vodouhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haitian_VodouLudwig Klageshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_KlagesMartin Heideggerhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_HeideggerHomerhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HomerGeorges Bataillehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georges_BatailleSagas of Icelandershttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagas_of_IcelandersLeft-hand-path and right-hand-pathhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-hand_path_and_right-hand_pathMinotaurhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MinotaurArchon (Gnosticism)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archon_(Gnosticism)Biocentrismhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biocentrism_(ethics)Maya Derenhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_DerenCandombléhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candombl%C3%A9Umbandahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UmbandaQuimbandahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QuimbandaDionysushttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DionysusLanguage of the birdshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_of_the_birdsSiegfried/Sigurdhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SigurdSufismhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SufismMjölnir (Thor's hammer)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mj%C3%B6lnirGeisthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeistVeil of Isishttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veil_of_IsisKlaus Kinskihttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klaus_KinskiAlfred Schulerhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_SchulerAnselm Kieferhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anselm_KieferVincent van Goghhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincent_van_Gogh

I'm reading and talking about Ted Gioia's "Immersive Humanities Course," 52 weeks of World Classics.Before we start, though, we talk about graduation speeches...and share the graduation speech we wish we'd heard.Next, we journey from Western literature back to ancient China to explore two timeless texts: Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching (c. 500 B.C.) and Sun Tzu's The Art of War (c. 400 B.C.), roughly contemporary with Confucius and Plato. After a lukewarm experience with Confucius' Analects in Week 4, we adjusted our approach to these aphoristic works, splitting each into five parts and interleaving them daily. While this didn't make reading easier, it encouraged comparisons between the two.The Tao Te Ching offers a serene philosophy of “the Way,” advocating a life of detachment and flow, like a leaf on a stream. Key insights include prioritizing essence over form (e.g., the space within walls over the walls themselves), embracing hands-off leadership, and avoiding rules or weapons that may incite vice or war. But it's passive: retreating rather than advancing in the face of evil feels challenging, especially compared to active resistance like Gandhi's. The Tao's detachment felt isolating, distinct from the interconnected self-emptying of the Dhammapada or Boethius' Christian-Stoic blend.In contrast, The Art of War is a ruthless manual of military strategy. Sun Tzu, who famously beheaded two concubines to prove his methods to King Ho Lu, emphasizes deception, swift victory, and avoiding prolonged conflict. Key takeaways: defensive measures prevent defeat but don't ensure victory; desperate soldiers fight hardest; and spies are a humane, cost-effective tool. We ponder the status of Sun's soldiers (free or enslaved?), recalling Herodotus' Spartan-Persian debates on free men's ferocity. The texts seem to clash: the Tao's passivity versus Sun's calculated control, though Sun's strategic setups might align with the Tao's inevitable flow.We noted a cultural contrast: Chinese texts lack the narrative epics of Western heroes like Odysseus or Gilgamesh, hinting at differing worldviews. Unlike Confucius' moral focus, neither text emphasizes goodness, which surprised us. Our Tao edition (Stephen Miller's) felt overly modernized, while our unannotated Art of War was dry but tactically insightful, especially for business or military studies. Pairing it with Herodotus or Machiavelli could be illuminating.Don't skip the music! Three albums each from the Beatles and The Rolling Stones...when was the last time you listened to one all the way through?Next week, we return to narrative with Apuleius' Golden Ass, explore Scott Joplin's ragtime, and admire van Gogh's art.

Nous sommes au milieu de l'année 1885. Les membres du groupe artistique d'avant-garde « Les XX », créé deux ans plus tôt, à Bruxelles, ont décidé d'élire de nouveaux candidats. Il s'agit de remplacer deux des membres fondateurs, Frans Simons, démissionnaire, car certaines de ses toiles ont été refusées par le Salon organisé par le groupe, et Théodore Verstraete, trop épris d'indépendance. « Les XX » choisissent Félicien Rops et Anna Boch. Si la postérité du premier a bien traversé les années, il faut un peu chercher pour trouver trace de celle … de la femme. Anna Boch, fille d'entrepreneur en faïencerie, artiste polyvalente, peintre de talent, comme son frère Eugène, passionnée par la nature qui lui sert de fil rouge dans sa quête de lumière et de couleur. Collectionneuse et mécène avertie, elle a réuni l'une des plus fameuses collections de son temps, c'est elle qui achète le seul tableau vendu par van Gogh de son vivant. Elle reste la seule femme membre du cercle des « XX », et aussi de « La Libre esthétique » qui lui succède, mais ne se contente pas d'y faire figuration : elle est considérée par ses confrères sur un pied d'égalité. Anna Boch veut faire carrière, à l'instar d'une autre artiste belge de la même époque, Marguerite Van de Wiele, autrice aujourd'hui bien oubliée. Van de Wiele qui, dans son roman Fleurs de civilisation » mettant en scène une jeune artiste bruxelloise, écrit : « (…) la femme de talent (…) est un être fâcheux, plus phénoménal encore que l'homme-artiste, car, déformée comme lui dans son existence normale, elle l'est jusque dans le rôle que notre société assigne aux individus de son sexe et, à en jouer un autre, elle perdra bientôt physiquement et moralement tout ce qui constitue la particularité féminine ; les amazones n'auraient pu être ni épouses, ni mères. C'est ce qui arrive fatalement pour nos modernes femmes peintres, statuaires, musiciennes, écrivaines … ». Alors, comment Anna Boch, artiste et mécène, s'est-elle débrouillée pour exister ? Invitée : Virginie Devillez, docteure en histoire de l'Université libre de Bruxelles. Sujets traités : Anna Boch, mécène, peintre, impressionnistes,Frans Simons, Théodore Verstraete, Marguerite Van de Wiele, féminine, musicienne, écrivaine,Félicien Rops Merci pour votre écoute Un Jour dans l'Histoire, c'est également en direct tous les jours de la semaine de 13h15 à 14h30 sur www.rtbf.be/lapremiere Retrouvez tous les épisodes d'Un Jour dans l'Histoire sur notre plateforme Auvio.be :https://auvio.rtbf.be/emission/5936 Intéressés par l'histoire ?

Joan Fernandez is a former senior marketing executive and general partner of the financial powerhouse Edward Jones. In 2018, she retired from a 30+ year career to be a full-time writer. Since leaving the corporate world, she's become a member of the Historical Novel Society, the Author's Guild, and the Women's Fiction Writers Association (WFWA). In April 2020, she founded a Historical Fiction affinity group within WFWA that grew from a handful of people to nearly two hundred authors. Her debut novel, Saving Vincent: A Novel of Jo van Gogh, has just come out — and I had the great privilege of coaching Joan at two points in her long process of writing this book so I had a front row seat to the deep work she did to bring this story to life. Writing about a real person has some particular challenges, and we get into that here.I'm so excited to share our conversation today.Links from the Pod:Historical Novel Societythe Authors GuildWomen's Fiction Writers Association (WFWA)Top Five Regrets of the Dying, Bronnie WareFind Joan at www.joanfernandezauthor.com, or on IG at @joanfernandezauthorWriters and readers!

She knows that stalking her ex's avatar all over Portland on her phone isn't the healthiest way to heal from their breakup. But she's out of ice cream and she's sick of romcoms. Watching his every move is both fascinating and infuriating. He's dining out while she's wallowing on the couch. The last straw comes when he parks in their favorite spot on the waterfront. In a weak moment, she leashes the dog and sets off to see who else is in his car. Instead of catching her ex in a kiss, Rowan becomes the first witness to his murder—and the primary suspect.Digital books at: Amazon | Nook | Apple Books | Kobo | Google Play | Audible Physical books at: Bookshop.org | Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Indigo | More paperback links here!

This week's discussion features Judah Thomas, David LaManna, Lenny Selgado, Ben Cossette, and Mike McHugh. Edited by: Tim NicholsonJoin us for our study of the one chapter in the Book of Jude. Ben kicks us off by asking the question about Jesus' half brothers. This evolves into how catholic priests became gatekeepers of scripture and creating interpretations like the Virgin Mary. We then end up in Vincent van Gogh territory where he actually began to make God's Word more accessible to the common man and why the gatekeepers of this time did not like this.Lenny then brings it back to Jude verse 3 and the importance of vigilance, contend for the Faith. The group then shares the importance of trusting what is being taught, but to then verify.David shifts the topic to rescuing brothers and sisters from the lake of fire. Hate the sin, but love the sinner. Mike shares about being lost in the world, but having zero clue that he was actually lost. Judah brings it full circle by sharing the actual catholic interpretation of the Virgin Mary and how they have added things to the Bible and declared by various popes as dogma.Enoch, Elijah and Jesus being the only three Biblical bodily resurrections.

In this first episode of the new series of A brush with…, Ben Luke talks to the painter Celia Paul about her influences—including writers as well as contemporary and historic artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped her life and work. Paul was born in 1959 in Trivandrum, India, and now lives in London. She makes intense yet ruminative paintings of people close to her, the spaces in which she lives and works, and landscapes of poignant significance. Her paintings are made from life but are pregnant with memory, poetry and emotion, which she imbues in her distinctive painterly language. Her art possesses a rare tranquillity in which one perceives deep feeling; Paul wrote in her memoir that her paintings are “so private and personal that there's almost a ‘Keep Out' sign in front of them”. At once a singular figure yet also connected to strands of recent and historic figurative painting in Britain, she has been admired widely throughout her career but only recently been recognised as a major figure in British art of the past 40 years. She discusses the fact that she began painting before she knew about art, but when she was introduced to Old and Modern Masters, she discovered El Greco and Paul Cezanne, who remain important to her today. She also reflects on the compassion in Rembrandt and Vincent van Gogh, the stillness and scale of Agnes Martin and the elementary power of the novels of the Brontë sisters. She also describes her response in painting to the artists of the School of London, including Lucian Freud, with whom she was once in a relationship, and Frank Auerbach.Celia Paul: Colony of Ghosts, Victoria Miro, London, until 17 April 2025.

When her husband died, Jo was left with a small child, no job, not much money, and a lot of canvases that weren't worth very much. It was the effort of a lifetime, but Jo transformed van Gogh's artwork from something few people wanted to an international sensation.

Vincent van Gogh is one of history's best known artists, but he wasn't during his own lifetime. His rise to fame came slowly through the efforts of the woman who inherited the vast majority of his paintings. Jo van Gogh-Bonger was a Dutch girl who considered herself not very well educated about art, and yet she managed to weave her way through the art world and bring us Vincent's exquisite beauty.
