Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for June 2, 2025 is: Herculean • her-kyuh-LEE-un • adjective Something described as Herculean (often uncapitalized as herculean) is characterized by extraordinary power, extent, intensity, or difficulty. // Although starting a garden sounded fun in theory, the constant weeding and pest control turned it into a herculean task. See the entry > Examples: “Strong doesn't even properly describe [Ashton] Jeanty's Herculean, how-is-he-doing-that kind of strength. Before his sophomore year of college, he squatted 575 pounds. [Coach James] Montgomery thought that Jeanty had maxed out. He was wrong. Now Jeanty easily squats 605 pounds ‘like a hot knife through butter,' Montgomery says.” — Mirin Fader, The Ringer, 5 Dec. 2024 Did you know? The hero Hercules, son of the god Zeus by a human mother, was famous for his superhuman strength. To pacify the wrath of the god Apollo, he was forced to perform twelve enormously difficult tasks, or “labors.” These ranged from descending into the underworld to bring back the terrifying dog that guarded its entrance to destroying the many-headed monster called the Hydra. The feats he accomplished explain how Herculean in the 16th century came to be used for any job or task that's extremely difficult or calls for enormous strength.

Globular clusters are the oldest members of the galaxy. They’re tight balls of hundreds of thousands of stars, most of which were born when the universe was no more than a couple of billion years old. Their most-massive stars have long since died. And most of the stars that remain are cool and faint. So a globular tends to be fairly quiet and calm. But that doesn’t mean that things don’t change. Consider Messier 13. It’s in Hercules, which is high in the east at nightfall. Under dark skies, the cluster is just visible to the unaided eye, looking like a faint, fuzzy star. The cluster is about 25,000 light-years away, and it contains up to half a million stars. But the stars at the edge of the cluster aren’t held as tightly as those in the middle. So the gravity of the rest of the galaxy can pull some of them away. In fact, astronomers have identified a few dozen stars that appear to be escapees from M13. But the cluster also can grab stars from the space around it. One especially young star probably became a member of the cluster that way. And stars inside the cluster can change. Some of them merge, forming bright, blue stars that look much younger. And stars die. M13’s brightest member is dying right now. It’s about as massive as the Sun, but it’s puffed up to dozens of times the Sun’s diameter. Soon, it’ll blow away its outer layers, leaving only its tiny, dead core – one more change in an ancient family of stars. Script by Damond Benningfield

This episode explores the role of the Pallaiuolo brothers in the development of Florentine Renaissance art, specifically through the works they completed for the Medici Palace: The Labors of Hercules. Later reappropriated, this episode also dives into how Hercules is used as a Florentine political symbol and is adaptable as both a pro-Medici and an anti-Medici symbol, similar to function of the biblical heroes David and Judith. Works DiscussedAntonio Pallaiuolo, Hercules and the Hydra, ca. 1475 https://www.uffizi.it/opere/pollaiolo-ercole-idraAntonio Pallaiuolo, Hercules and Antaeus, ca. 1475 https://www.uffizi.it/opere/pollaiolo-ercole-anteoAntonio Pallaiuolo, Hercules and Antaeus, ca. 1475, bronze Antonio https://www.wga.hu/html_m/p/pollaiol/antonio/sculptur/hercul2.htmlSupport/Watch/Follow: https://linktr.ee/italian_renaissance_podcastGet additional content by becoming a Patron: patreon.com/TheItalianRenaissancePodcast Support the show

AP correspondent Julie Walker reports on the border collies fending off wildlife at West Virginia's busiest airport.

Rosie and Jason saw the mutated dinosaurs and are ready for more Jurassic Park. George R. R. Martin found yet another project that deserves more attention than The Winds of Winter. To be fair, a "reimagining of the... 12 labors of Hercules, transports the mythic tale to 1920s Mississippi, where Hercules is re-envisioned as a former sharecropper fighting to regain his freedom,” does sound pretty cool. Fortnight, not to be outdone by their theft of popular dance moves, used AI to steal Darth Vader's voice. Is nothing sacred?

Cada día se me hace más difícil madrugar para distinguir entre las informaciones, las notas de relaciones públicas y los chismes y ahora hay que decir los buenos deseos convertidos en notas de prensa.Y no es que por la edad tenga problemas para levantarme, todo lo contrario a más edad menos sueño. Estoy madrugando desde 1987 cuando empecé en el equipo de Uno más Uno y ese programa iniciaba a las cinco y media de la mañana así que una madrugada más o una madrugada menos no me afecta.Pero el ejercicio de discernir entre tanta paja pseudo informativa desde el gobierno y desde los intereses privados se está convirtiendo en una tarea para Hercules.El martes les cité como los intereses de dos grupos económicos se habían tomado nada más y nada menos que La alocución semanal del presidente de la República y que Guido Gómez tuvo que salvar la situación.El 19 les cité el siguiente párrafo: El Banco Central informó que en el primer trimestre de 2025, el total de ocupados en la economía dominicana alcanzó los 5,117,548 trabajadores, lo que representa un aumento de 176,581 nuevos empleos netos en comparación con el mismo período de 2024. Los empleos formales aumentaron en 188,658 personas, mientras que los informales se redujeron en 12,077, llevando la tasa de informalidad a su punto más bajo de la serie, con un 53.4% de la población ocupada.Hoy un análisis del economista Miguel Collado aclara que el crecimiento del empleo no fue tal y que los números están influenciados por el empleo público que bien podría considerarse como gasto público. Casi el 30% de los nuevos empleos son públicos.Desde ayer es noticia la meta 2036 la que el gobierno anuncia como su plan para duplicar el tamaño de la economía en la próxima década y una se pregunta cómo lo hará en medio de un cambio del modelo económico y sin hacer una reforma fiscal inclusiva y sin un cambio en el modelo de atención médica por ejemplo.Ya me da vergüenza decir que el gobierno se inventa una medida migratoria quincenal desde el 27 de febrero para mantener a la población entretenida y sin buscar salidas reales al problema migratorio. El último hit fue una comisión para revisar la legislación. No tengo que decirle que ya había anunciado un observatorio y antes había anunciado las 15 medidas. En fin, que siga la fiesta y seguiremos bailando.Con Collado caravaneando en barrios y PAcheco movilizado por la secretaría general del PRM y la oposición dando testarazo es poco lo que se puede esperar de un gobierno que insisto nació viejo.

THE SHOWDOWN on Mount Carmel is even more spectacular than we've been taught. The story is sensational on its surface: The prophet Elijah, one of the few prophets of God still active in the northern kingdom of Israel, tells King Ahab to his face that there will be no rain until Elijah says so. Then he flees from the king and hides out for three years. During that time, the prophet was fed by ravens at the brook Cherith somewhere east of the Jordan until the drought caused the stream to dry up. Then Elijah traveled to Phoenicia and lodged with a widow of Zarephath in the region of Sidon. Because of the famine, she was prepared to make one last meal and then starve to death with her son (or children, according to the Septuagint). Miraculously, the woman did not run out of flour or oil during the entire time Elijah stayed with her. The account of the miracle of Elijah bringing the widow's son back from the dead has a deeper meaning when you understand a little of the religion of the Phoenicians (who were Canaanites, which in turn is just a geographic designation for the Amorites in Canaan). The patron deity of Sidon was Eshmun, the Phoenician name for the Greek demigod Asclepius. The Greeks believed Asclepius was the half-divine son of Apollo, a healer of such skill that he was able to cure death. (This led Hades to complain to Zeus that Asclepius was disrupting the natural order of things, so Zeus killed Asclepius.) The point is this: God, through Elijah, demonstrated that He, Yahweh, was the one God who truly has power over life and death. Likewise, Elijah's confrontation with the prophets of Baal has a deeper meaning. This was a literal battle between Yahweh and the Baal worshipped by Jezebel and her pagan father, Ethbaal, king of Tyre. Ethbaal was a priest of Astarte, the Canaanite version of Ishtar, the Babylonian goddess of sex and war (which explains a lot about Jezebel). The kicker is that the Baal of Tyre was probably Melqart, which was the Phoenician name for Herakles—better known to us as Hercules. This explains some of Elijah's taunts while Jezebel's prophets danced, shouted, and cut themselves to summon their small-G god. It also helps us understand why Elijah had twelve vessels of water poured over the sacrifice and the wood on the altar. It didn't just represent the twelve tribes of Israel and make the sacrifice more difficult to burn, it mocked a libation (drink offering) ritual called yarid that is documented in Jewish and Roman texts and inscriptions as late as the 3rd century AD, when Emperor Diocletian performed the yarid at Tyre for Hercules! This also connects to Mount Hermon, where scholars Edward Lipiński and Charles Clermont-Ganneau noted, based on the site drawing by Sir Charles Warren in 1869 (when he discovered the Watcher Stone in a temple near the peak of the mountain), that the summit of Hermon is scooped out like a giant bowl—probably to receive these offerings. Lipiński wrote that this means the Watchers, led by Shemihazah, did not descend in the days of Jared, but in the days when the yarid was performed on the mountain. So, Elijah's actions on Mount Carmel were directed not just at Baal or Melqart/Hercules, but at the “sons of God” who long ago tried to take dominion of Earth away from the children of Adam and Eve.

Mighty Hercules stands well up in the east and northeast as night falls. His most prominent feature is the Keystone, a lopsided square of stars that represents his body. But the constellation’s brightest star isn’t part of the Keystone. Instead, it represents the entire strongman: Its name, Kornephoros, comes from a Greek word that means “the club bearer” – Hercules himself. Like many of the stars in the galaxy, there’s more to Kornephoros than meets the eye: It consists of two stars, not one. One star is smaller and fainter than the Sun, so it’s not visible to the eye alone. The visible star, on the other hand, is about three times the mass of the Sun, almost 20 times the Sun’s diameter, and 150 times its brightness. So the star is an easy target even though it’s about 140 light-years away. The star is nearing the end of its life. It’s probably consumed the hydrogen fuel in its core, converting it to helium. That’s caused the core to get smaller and hotter. The extra radiation pushes on its outer layers, causing them to puff up to giant proportions. Today, Kornephoros is fusing the helium to make carbon and oxygen. Eventually, that process will end. The star will lose its outer layers, leaving only its dead core – and the “club bearer” will vanish from sight. For now, though, look for it due east at nightfall, halfway up the sky – the first modestly bright star to the right of the Keystone. Script by Damond Benningfield

A pretty semicircle of stars crowns the sky on spring and summer nights: Corona Borealis, the northern crown. It’s in the east as night falls now, and stands high overhead a few hours later. In a couple of months, it’ll be overhead at nightfall. Most of the semicircle isn’t very bright – you need pretty dark skies to see it. It stands out because of the tight pattern, with a fairly bright star at the center: Alphecca, “the bright one.” Alphecca is really a binary – two stars locked in a gravitational embrace. The heavier of them is about three times as massive as the Sun, thousands of degrees hotter, and dozens of times brighter. Its companion is a little smaller and fainter than the Sun. The stars are quite close together – an average of about half the distance between the Sun and its closest planet, Mercury. The stars orbit each other once every 17 and a half days. And they’re lined up in such a way that we see the fainter star pass in front of the brighter one – an eclipse. When that happens, Alphecca dims by a few percent. That’s not enough for most of us to notice with the eye alone, but it’s an easy catch for astronomical instruments. Instruments also see a disk of debris around the stars. It extends billions of miles into space. It consists mainly of small grains of dust – material left over from the formation of Alphecca itself. We’ll talk about a pair of stars in Hercules tomorrow.

The David Cronenberg movie that Seth saw as a wee little child with his mom, recommendations for 1997's Hercules and the Black Mirror episode “Common People,” and the effect that horror and violent media can have on their audience end up being a few of the talking points for this episode.Written and directed by David Cronenberg, Videodrome stars James Woods, Debbie Harry, Sonja Smits, Peter Dvorsky, Leslie Carlson, Jack Creley, Lynne Gorman, Julie Khaner, Reiner Schwarz, and David Bolt.Spoilers start at 29:35Create your podcast today! #madeonzencastrHere's how you can learn more about Palestine and IsraelHere's how you can keep up-to-date on this genocideHere's how you can send eSIM cards to Palestinians in order to help them stay connected onlineGood Word:• Seth: the Vengeance trilogy from Park Chan-wook (Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Oldboy, and Lady Vengeance)• Arthur: A Simple PlanReach out at email2centscritic@yahoo.com if you want to recommend things to watch and read, share anecdotes, or just say hello!Be sure to subscribe, rate, and review on iTunes or any of your preferred podcasting platforms!Follow Arthur on Twitter, Goodpods, StoryGraph, Letterboxd, and TikTok: @arthur_ant18Follow Arthur on Bluesky: @arthur-ant18Follow the podcast on Twitter: @two_centscriticFollow the podcast on Instagram: @twocentscriticpodFollow Arthur on GoodreadsCheck out 2 Cents Critic Linktree

This month we struggle with very conscious bias when we discuss how much we love Perfume Genius' new album Glory. Welcome to Episode 57 of This is Not Happening (TINH), an Album of the Month (AOTM) Podcast. In Part 1 we deep dive into an Album that one of us has chosen and in Part 2 we play 'Spin it or Bin it'.  We pick a theme and each pick a song that represents that theme. We judge the selections by asking the question 'Spin It or Bin It'?In Part 1, Joey is in the seat and basically bangs on about how much he loves Perfume Genius.In Part 2, we celebrate contemporary queer music and play Spin It or Bin It with the theme. Joey's track is unfairly and poorly treated ... as is David's but two other bangers make up for it.                                     ----- Part 1 | Perfume Genius | 'Glory' -----I love Perfume Genius. Always have ... barring something horrific happening, I always will. I love him so much that I get nervous when a new album comes out. And this one is a belter. But is it for the fan-people or is there enough to attract and entertain newcomers?Listen to the album, listen to the pod, tell us what you think.Listen to the album ... HERE.Listen to the Soda Jerker podcast that we mention ... HERE.Watch the AMAZING Tiny Desk Performance ... HERE.Watch the No Front Teeth video we discuss ... HERE.Buy some stuff ... HERE.                                          ----- Part 2 | Spin It or Bin It | 'Contemporary Queer' -----Music has always been massive to the Gay and Queer community and has always been an interesting area of crossover. Has it changed? What ever, we're here to celebrate.David chose 'Cinderella' by Model/Actriz.Joey chose 'The Giver' by Chappell Roan.Nolan chose 'Blind (Frankie Knuckles Remix' by Hercules and Love AffairGuy chose 'Tilted' by Christine and the Queens.Here is a link to our 16 track playlist of religion-inspired tracks - with the first 4 tracks being our picks for this month.We've been writing the blog for years come and have a look - https://thisisnothappening.net/

Black Sunday (1960), Blood and Black Lace (1964), and A Bay of Blood (1971) There are films by certain directors that are truly iconic—classics of the genre we sometimes assume everyone has already seen. But it's easy to forget that, right now, there are fans just beginning their journey into horror. Whether due to age or a newfound curiosity, they're taking their first steps into the genre. For those unfamiliar with him, we'd like to introduce one of horror's true maestros: Mario Bava. And for those already acquainted with his work, maybe it's time for a revisit—to once again be stunned by what he brings to the screen. If it's been a few years, you may find yourself seeing things in a whole new way. That's one of the beautiful things about cinema. The three films we've chosen highlight important parts of Bava's career and show how his work helped shape entire subgenres—from gothic horror to giallo to the slasher film. Whether you're discovering him for the first time or coming back for a fresh look, these films are a perfect place to begin. One quick correction: Edgar Wallace was a British writer, not American. Films mentioned in this episode: Baron Blood (1972), A Bay of Blood (1971), Black Sabbath (1963), Black Sunday (1960), Blood and Black Lace (1964), Caltiki the Immortal Monster (1959), The Church (1989), Creature with the Blue Hand (1967), Curse of the Crying Woman (1963), Curse of Frankenstein (1957), Danger: Diabolik (1968), The Day the Sky Exploded (1958), Death Walks at Midnight (1972), Death Walks in High Heels (1971), Deep Red (1975), The Demon (1982), Demons (1985), Django Kill…If You Live, Shoot! (1967), Dr. Goldfoot and the Girl Bombs (1966), Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1932), Erik the Conqueror (1961), Eyeball (1975), The Four of the Apocalypse (1975), Frankenstein '80 (1972), Frankenstein Island (1981), Friday the 13th (1980), Friday the 13th (1981), The Giant of Marathon (1959), The Girl Who Knew Too Much (1963), The Great Silence (1968), Hatchet for a Honeymoon (1970), Hercules in the Haunted World (1961), Horror of Dracula (1958), Inferno (1980), I Vampiri (1957), Knives of the Avenger (1966), Long Hair of Death (1964), Night Child (1975), Once Upon a Time in the West (1968), Planet of the Vampires (1965), Psycho (1960), She (1965), Shock (1977), Suspiria (1977), Thunderball (1965), The Toolbox Murders (1978), Torso (1973), The Whip and the Body (1963), Your Vice is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key (1972)

What does it take to complete Canada's "Top Gun", the Fighter Weapons Instructor Course? What is it like to deploy to Bosnia or take part in the bombing campaign in Kosovo with real air-to-air and ground-to-air threats? What does it take to coordinate strikes in Afghanistan? How are we shifting from a counter-insurgency to peer-to-peer warfighting mentality? Today we have Lieutenant-General Eric Kenny, Commander of the RCAF on the show to discuss all these things and much more. Eric has 2900 flying hours, 2200 of which are on the CF-188 Hornet.

We finish up the DEFINITIVE REVIEW of Survivor Series 1988! I am once again joined by my brother Jesse, as we talk the second half of the PPV event. First, it's Team Jake "The Snake" & "Hacksaw" Duggan vs. Team Andre the Giant & Dino Bravo. Jake's revenge on Rick Rude, Andre's phobia, the return of Harley Race, Mr. Perfect's streak, Vince's obsession with protecting Dino Bravo, Hacksaw always avoiding pinfalls when eliminated, Ken Patera finishing up, Scott Casey replacing a replacement, & more. Then it's onto the main event when Team Mega Powers meet Team Twin Towers. We discuss the odd choices to fill out the teams, and the even odder showdowns in the ring. A Hillbilly and his ROOSTER. The slave/master battle continues between Hercules and the Million Dollar Man. King Haku shines. It's a double schmoz for the Boss Man & Akeem as they put down the Mega Powers but find themselves eliminated. While Randy Savage battles for survival, the Hulkster & "pickpocket" Miss Elizabeth overcome the "Dr. of Style" Slick's antics on the outside. We breakdown the finish of the match, and Hogan's need to pose versus checking on his partner. Then, an exclusive interview as Jesse Ventura questions Macho Man's feelings towards Hulk Hogan. Randy denies any issues, but Ventura sees it differently.

In an exclusive with Reuters, Greek officials said the country plans to pay off loans granted under the first of three debt-crisis bailouts by 2031, ten years ahead of schedule. This marks yet another milestone in the country's economic comeback, putting Greece on track to lose the label of the most indebted country in the EU. Yannis Palaiologos, a correspondent-at-large for Kathimerini and the author of “The Thirteenth Labour of Hercules”, a book on the Greek crisis, joins Thanos Davelis as we look into this latest story, and see how it fits into the broader picture of Greece's economic comeback.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Exclusive: Greece to repay first bailout loans by 2031, 10 years earlyTrump Has Added Risk to the Surest Bet in Global FinanceCloser French-Greek defense ties seenCentral Asian states send envoys to Cyprus, accept UN resolutions on occupied north

TAKEAWAYSMost western churches function like corporations, and they are often divorced from conversations about anything supernaturalThe global flood and Joshua's conquest make a lot more sense with the proper historical context regarding the NephilimThe Book of Enoch is not considered Biblically canonical, but it is a worthwhile historical text that's referred to in the BibleAncient legends of demigod heroes like Hercules likely stemmed from stories of Nephilim

In this conversation, Robert and Robert Comber journey through the layers of ancient wisdom encoded in astrology, mythology, geometry, and sound. They explore the deacons of the zodiac, the sacred structure of DNA, and the messages hidden within ancient texts—illuminating how these elements serve as blueprints for consciousness. From the stargate resonance of the King's Chamber to the cosmic significance of the Ark of the Covenant, the discussion weaves together the mythologies of Osiris, Hercules, Andromeda, and Anubis with the geometry of pyramids and the music of the spheres. Together, they reveal how these stories and symbols are relics of the past and reflections of our inner world, guiding us through cycles of awakening, transformation, and return. This is a deep exploration of the divine feminine, the hero's journey, and the hidden architecture of the cosmos—reminding us that the universe is not out there; it's within.

Arnold Schwarzenegger - now, that's not exactly a stage name. But, boy, he became a star! And in case you haven't been around for a while, you know Arnold Schwarzenegger became one of Hollywood's hottest properties and then the Governor of California; the bodybuilder who became a movie star. In fact, I'm often mistaken for him on the street. Uh-huh. He's made the cover of magazines, and apparently when he's in a movie it has guaranteed a big draw at the gate. Of course, he built his reputation first as a bodybuilder, he was Mr. Universe, or Mr. Milky Way or something. But he is impressively strong. He began lifting weight to train for the local soccer team back in his home country of Austria. And he got up early to lift in the morning, and then he'd race to the gym after school. His hero, he says, was a Mr. Universe who had starred in several Hercules movies. He said, "He was everything I wanted to be; a champion, a muscle film star, a great businessman. My parents," Arnold said, "thought it was strange. Most guys had posters of girls all over their walls; I had a guy flexing." Well, you know, that's an interesting insight into how we become a certain kind of person. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "More Like Jesus?" Our word for today from the Word of God comes from 1 Peter 2, and I'll begin reading at verse 21. "Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example that you should follow in His steps. He committed no sin, no deceit was found in His mouth. When they hurled their insults at Him, He did not retaliate. When He suffered, He made no threats." This says here that we have an example, and it's the way that Christ lived His life. In fact, this word example, if you go back to the original Greek language of the New Testament, is the word "copy head." It literally was the copy head that they put at the top of a school child's slate. So when he's trying to learn the alphabet, he kept looking at how the letters should be formed until he made it just like it was on the copy head. Now, Peter says Christ is our copy head. He's saying, "Keep looking at Jesus, and you'll start to respond as He did." Arnold Schwarzenegger said he became strong because he kept looking at a picture of a strong man; someone who was "everything he wanted to be." Well, I'll tell you this, "Jesus is everything I want to be." How about you? Everything he said was trusted, because there was no deceit in His mouth. There were no marks on His holiness. He acted in situations; He did not react. He suffered with grace that embarrassed those who caused the suffering. How do you get to be like that? By daily looking at Him. Read the Gospels frequently in your personal quiet time, and compare your responses to your Lord's. Review your major life situations with Jesus daily and ask Him to help you see what He sees. Make your magnificent obsession this question, "What would Jesus do?" It often won't be what you feel like doing, or what our culture says to do, or what seems to be your right to do, but risk everything on doing what your Master, your model would do. It means you have to dedicate yourself to becoming an expert on Jesus. See, there's no lazy way to do this. If you will daily, consciously, and stubbornly model yourself after Him, you'll start to make the kind of difference He made. Be sure Jesus is the picture that you just keep looking at.
