We're back with some more Gilmore Girls! Join us in this journey on social media - @gilmorethemerrierpod. ABOUT: GILMORE GIRLS (SEASON 2 EPISODE 14) Christopher and girlfriend Sherry visit Stars Hollow. Lorelai brings Christopher to her parents' Friday night dinner, potentially stirring up family dynamics and past feelings. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR: GILMORE GIRLS (SEASON 2 EPISODE 14) February 12, 2002 | The WB CAST & CREW OF: GILMORE GIRLS (SEASON 2 EPISODE 14) Lauren Graham as Lorelai Gilmore Alexis Bledel as Rory Gilmore BRAN'S GILMORE GIRLS (SEASON 2 EPISODE 14) SYNOPSIS Lorelai and Rory get to Luke's and no one is there! Just one of those lulls. Rory tells Lorelai about her debate competition this week. Lane calls Rory at the diner. Naturally, Lane can see the diner with a telescope from her room where she is stuck cuz she's grounded. They head home to watch some random British baking show called Two Fat Ladies, but they're interrupted by Paris who showed up because she thinks Rory needs more practice on the debate competition. Lorelai gets a call from Christopher. Turns out he's close by and she invites him to come to the debate competition. He says he'll be there. The next day, Rory walks by a payphone and naturally Lane calls it and asks her to pick up a new single for her. Lane is not well. It's debate time! The topic is a light one - doctor assisted suicide. They do a coin flip to decide who is pro or con. Paris picks pro. Christopher shows up….with another woman! Chilton wins. Afterwards, Lorelai and Sookie go to meet Christopher's girlfriend, Sherry. Lorelai and Rory come up with a game plan on how to handle this unexpected visit and they invite them home. Before they leave, Paris asks Rory to hang out and celebrate but she can't, which really upsets Paris if you can believe it. Sherry pulls Lorelai aside and is like you don't have to get to know me. Just because we've both had a relationship with Christopher doesn't mean we have to be friends. But she really wants to get to know Rory and asks if they can hang out tonight even though it's Friday night dinner. Lorelai is like uhhh sure. Lorelai talks to Rory and Rory says she's fine hanging out with Sherry. Lorelai asks if Christopher wants to come to dinner and he's like it's good grub, why not. They get to dinner, and when Emily hears that Rory is just having this night with Sherry, she's not thrilled and starts to interrogate Christopher about this Sherry. Then Rory bursts out that she doesn't think Emily should miss Friday night dinners unless she's sick and storms out. Lorelai goes after her and Emily says it should've been you! When Christopher finally got his life together, he should've been with you! To make matters worse, Emily blames Lorelai for everything. She says she's gonna go lay down. The next morning, Lorelai and Rory meet up at Luke's. Lorelai begs Rory for all the Sherry deets. And she gives her ALLLLL the deets including how Sherry wants kids. Lorelai asks Rory if she ever hoped that she and Christopher would get together. Rory says sure I've pictured you being with dad but I've also pictured you being with Pee-wee Herman and living in his playhouse. Before they can get back to the serious convo, Rory has to run out to watch and make sure the plan to get Lane her CD works, including Kirk stopping Mrs. Kim to talk and Michel jogging by and dropping the CD in the bag. Back at Luke's, Sherry and Christopher come by to say goodbye. Sherry leaves to say goodbye to Rory and Christopher apologizes to Lorelai for last night. Lorelai says I realized something last night - all these years, I always had you in the back of my mind. The prospect of us being together. I think I subconsciously sabotaged every relationship I've ever been in because I knew you were always there. Now that I know you're not, I can move on. Believe it or not, Christopher doesn't handle that well. He says don't put that on me. You're dumping 15 years of being unhappy on me. Don't blame me. This blowup is loud and naturally Luke watches and does nothing. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtubeInterested in advertising on the show?

The Jim Craine Show Title: Back on the Boardwalk: A Radio Return Filled with Atlantic City Memories Summary A Celebrated Return to Radio Jim Craine opens the program by welcoming listeners to a new Saturday-afternoon broadcast from Pleasantville Music Shop near Atlantic City. After years away from regular radio, he describes his excitement about returning to the air in his 51st year in show business. The episode establishes a relaxed, live-party atmosphere built around comedy, music, local guests, audience interaction, and classic entertainment. Craine also previews future appearances by performers and personalities including Jon Provost, Deana Martin, Frank Ferrante, and comedians from his long career in show business. Supporting the Jersey Shore Community A major theme of the episode is the importance of supporting locally owned businesses. Craine highlights Pleasantville Music Shop as a long-running, family-operated store offering instruments, school rentals, vintage guitars, pianos, drums, keyboards, and vinyl records that customers can hear before buying. He also acknowledges area restaurants, Copiers Plus, Maplewood restaurants, the Dr. Jonathan Pitney House, the Colonial Inn, Smithville businesses, and other regional sponsors. His comments frame the show as both an entertainment program and a continuing spotlight on the people, restaurants, events, and small businesses of South Jersey. Upcoming Events and Boardwalk Attractions Craine shares several upcoming entertainment and community events, including the Happy Together Tour at the Ocean City Music Pier, Lucy the Elephant's birthday celebration in Margate, and a Steel Pier alumni reunion scheduled for August 23, 2026. He invites former pier employees, performers, dancers, ushers, game workers, food-service workers, and longtime visitors to attend the reunion. He also discusses the Italian Festival in Smithville, where he and the Atlantic City All-Stars have performed for many years. These announcements reinforce the program's close connection to the boardwalk, the Jersey Shore, and Atlantic City's live-entertainment culture. Stories from a Life in Show Business Much of the broadcast is devoted to memories from Craine's decades as a singer, lifeguard, entertainer, and bandleader. He recalls working with Red Skelton, opening for Connie Stevens, appearing with Rich Little, singing at a Phillies game, and participating in a 1983 juvenile-diabetes telethon. He remembers Red Skelton signing hundreds of autographs and explaining why performers must remain gracious to their audiences. Craine also directs listeners to archival performances, interviews, concerts, and career-retrospective material available under the spelling C-R-A-I-N-E. Steel Pier and Atlantic City Entertainment History Craine offers an extended account of his years at Steel Pier from 1963 to 1973, where he worked as an usher, cared for the diving horses, operated the Diving Bell, and absorbed lessons from generations of entertainers. He remembers seeing or encountering Chicago, Jay and the Techniques, Tommy James and the Shondells, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Pat Boone, Duke Ellington, the Bee Gees, Les Paul and Mary Ford, Chet Atkins, Herman's Hermits, The Monkees, Sam Cooke, The Temptations, The Supremes, and a young Michael Jackson. He presents Steel Pier and Atlantic City as places where popular-music history, variety entertainment, boardwalk culture, and personal opportunity came together. Music, Comedy, and a Personal Farewell The episode is punctuated by musical recordings, produced announcements, audience reactions, and a series of short jokes. Craine shares performances of “Rock-a-Bye Your Baby with a Dixie Melody,” “On the Boardwalk in Atlantic City,” and “Over the Rainbow,” dedicating the closing song to mothers. He thanks his wife, Joanne, for being his partner for 35 years and invites listeners to return for future guests, calls, comedy, music, and community features. The broadcast ends as a warm introduction to the show's intended style: nostalgic but lively, rooted in Atlantic City history, and centered on enjoying the personalities and stories behind classic entertainment.

It has been ten whole months since Sulu parodied this song (and fifteen years since we did), so it was time. What we learned about "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious": o The writers of a 1949 song called "Supercalafajalistickespeealadojus" sued Disney...and LOST. The court found that variants of the word had been around for decades. So, as it turns out, neither they nor the Sherman Brothers (who wrote the Mary Poppins song and a ton of other classic Disney tunes) originated the term. o The Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke recording was released as a single that made it to the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #66 the week ending May 15, 1965. The #1 song that week was... Herman's Hermits' "Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter" ...which together scans perfectly to "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious." The Charmin Brothers: M.

On this episode of *The Left Hook*, hosts Mark Bland and Jason Kulldeliver a punchy, unfiltered look at the political landscape on July 25, 2026. The duo tackles the mysterious silence surrounding Mitch McConnell's health, urging Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear to bypass the courts and appoint a replacement immediately. They pull no punches in their critique of Donald Trump's administration—taking aim at Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth, Jim Jordan's crusade against former Special Counsel Jack Smith, and what they describe as a relentless cycle of political distractions. Shifting focus to their home state, the hosts slam Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe for undermining the voter-approved Amendment 3 on abortion rights and urge listeners to vote "No" on upcoming tax amendments in the August primary. Rounding out the show, they debate the financial efficiency of the death penalty and laugh off YouTuber Jake Paul's delusional claims of NFL interest, offering a jam-packed hour of bold commentary.

In this episode we have a historic lecture from New Testament scholar Herman Ridderbos on the Christology of the Gospel of John. Engaging the influential interpretations of Rudolf Bultmann and Ernst Käsemann, Ridderbos argues that John's Gospel presents neither a merely symbolic Christ nor a diminished humanity, but the eternal Son of God who truly became flesh. Rooted in careful exegesis and biblical theology, Ridderbos offers a compelling defense of the Fourth Gospel's historical reliability and its unmistakable witness to the glory of Jesus Christ.

Episode 550 This week in the sewer: no music, no AI gimmicks, just raw rat radio. We crack open a 1989 Sears Christmas catalog and lose our minds over $700 pearl bracelets and Pee-wee Herman watches, pay respects to John C. Dvorak with some heartfelt (and heartbroken) voicemails, and dig into Sam Altman calling himself a genie-maker while his sister drops a scorched-earth Christmas parody song about him. Add in mutant rats that are outsmarting poison, a wild new ADHD drug breakdown, and Elon suing Minnesota over an AI nudity law, and you've got a genuinely unhinged episode. Grab a beer, get comfortable, and let the sewer wash over you. Full voicemail segment, donation shoutouts, and a brand new stinky Hawaiian shirt story you didn't ask for but are getting anyway.

Player development starts long before players step onto the pitch. In this episode, Gary Curneen sits down with Herman Ottosson, Technical Director at Mjällby AIF Academy in Sweden, to explore one of the most innovative coach development environments in European football. Rather than relying on rigid curriculums or copied training sessions, Herman explains how Mjällby develops adaptable coaches, creates ownership with players, and builds an academy culture centered around reflection, accountability, and continuous improvement. Topics include: Why coaches should design sessions around their own players—not YouTube drills. Building development environments instead of chasing results. Relative freedom versus fixed curriculums. The Ballon d'Or Project and player ownership. Video feedback for coaches and players. Creating honest conversations through IDPs. Coach education systems that actually change behavior. Why the best academies develop coaches first. Whether you're a technical director, academy coach, or club leader, this episode is packed with practical ideas that can transform your environment.
Do we study the Bible to prove what we believe or discover what God wants us to become? This week's lesson is all about interpreting the Bible and how honest study, humility and open dialogue are critical to unity.

Are you working for God's love, or are you living from the love you have already received?In the first week of Crown or Towels, Pastor Dean uses the story of Jacob, Leah, and Rachel to explain the difference between the old covenant and the new covenant. The old covenant says, “I work, then I receive.” The new covenant says, “I receive, then I work from what I've received.”Jesus did not simply call us to believe in Him. He called us to follow Him, imitate Him, submit to His authority, and become more like Him. We do not serve, forgive, give, worship, or obey to earn God's favor. We do those things because His love and grace have already been freely given to us.It is time to take the crown off our own heads, place it back on King Jesus, pick up the towel, and follow our Rabbi.

Man, what an episode! We are joined by our spooky Friend Brenda from Horrifying History to dig into the life of liar, cheater and serial killer (meaning he killed more than one person for a similar reason, he was not a pattern killer) known as HH Holmes. He was born Herman Webster Mudgett and as a child he was quiet, smart and studious. He tried to claim a legacy as a devil or a fiend who murdered unfortunate souls in turn of the 20th Century Chicago and all across the country. The truth is he started as a con man, using cadavers to cheat insurance companies out of money. He had training as both a doctor and a pharmacist and could have easily built a lucrative career out of those two things but instead, he hatched scheme after scheme, took out loans under fraudulent names and just did as much as he could to make himself wealthy while doing the least amount of work. He only began to kill people to cover up his lies and support his scams and we cover it all in this special episode discussing the life and crimes of HH Holmes!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/family-plot--4670465/support.

Pags previews Border Czar Tom Homan's latest appearance, asking whether New York City's sanctuary city policies could trigger another surge of illegal immigration while explaining the latest ICE policy changes. He also wonders why Homan has become the administration's go-to voice on immigration even after Markwayne Mullin became Secretary of Homeland Security, sparking a conversation about how the two are dividing responsibilities. The crew also shares plenty of laughs over an on-air moment before reacting to President Trump's comparison of Sen. Jon Ossoff to Pee-wee Herman. Pags then discusses how streaming has completely changed television and media ownership before weighing in on the House's long-awaited vote to ban stock trading by members of Congress, arguing it's an obvious reform that should have happened years ago. Finally, Australian journalist Erin Molan joins the show to discuss Zohran Mamdani, the media's handling of major political stories, and why independent journalists believe telling the truth has become more important than ever.

We were made by a Maker to be makers. Bruce Herman joins Evan Rosa to diagnose the quiet illness of a passive consumer culture that trains us to sit in front of screens and scroll and take, rather than make. “When we're not making something, we're not whole. We're not healthy.“ His cure is stubbornly ordinary: go make a loaf of bread, grab a stick and start carving, make a good meal or a good cocktail for the person visiting you—anything is resistance to this hypnotic, passive culture. From episode 216 of the podcast, in this segment, Herman traces what it means to receive art not as a consumer but through submission—not master and slave, but subject to subject, that vulnerable openness that lets a poem or a painting change your life. He reflects on making as human wholeness, the difference between art and info-tainment, why suffering can rip us open to beauty (from Walker Percy's writing to Christian Wiman's poetry), Rilke's charge that “you must change your life,“ hospitality as the ultimate act of art, and Herman's closing counsel to make out of love, not fear. Episode Highlights We are in relationship, and we were made by a Maker to be makers. If we let that go somehow and we become mere consumers, I think we begin to enter into some kind of illness of one sort or another. When we're not making something, we're not whole. We're not healthy. And I don't want to make an idol out of health either, but I do think our culture is unhealthy right now. We think of it as, we're discerning buyers. But the fact is we're being turned into very passive creatures. One of the best things you can do is go make a loaf of bread. Go out and grab a stick and start carving it. Anything is resistance to this sort of hypnotic passive culture. If you want to really receive what a poem is communicating, you have to submit to it. You have to let yourself go and enter into what might feel like a bad risk of being changed. Not submit in a sense that I'm a master and you're my slave. It's more like you're a subject and I'm a subject. Mutual submission. We're so guarded so much of the time that it takes something catastrophic to open us up again. Do away with the nonsense that you're not an artist. You can't help it. You were made by a Maker to be a maker. End of story. The ultimate act of art is hospitality, where you're welcoming someone in, to make something beautiful for them. Challenge the bad news with a recognition that daily kindnesses are being poured out everywhere, on every street. Don't give in to fear, because it's not a basis for anything good. About Bruce Herman Bruce Herman is a painter, writer, and educator whose work has been shown in more than 150 exhibitions across the United States and internationally, and held in collections including the Vatican Museums in Rome, the Cincinnati Museum of Fine Arts, and the Grunewald Print Collection of the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles.

The illusion of control while being trained to take Screens and scrolling Political theater and infotainment—very little real journalism left, mostly consumer entertainment Neil Postman and amusing ourselves to death as the frame for the diagnosis Making as resistance—bake bread, carve a stick, do anything against the hypnotic pull Reception as submission—a word out of fashion, reclaimed away from enslavement Mutual submission—the erotic analogy, and desire's corruption in the sexual sins To receive a poem you must risk being changed Rilke's Grecian torso and the charge, you must change your life Subject to subject, not master and slave Walker Percy's museum story—a painting that blazed into life, then went quiet Bringing a friend to re-enter the original encounter vicariously The workman through the skylight—catastrophe reopens what habit had closed Guardedness—why it can take suffering to break us open Christian Wiman—cancer, poetry, and being ripped open toward receptivity You might be changed, and it might not be what you wanted; the risk of real encounter Make from love, not fear Do away with the nonsense that you're not an artist Everyday making—a loaf, a meal, a good cocktail, hospitality Hospitality as the ultimate art; George Steiner's Real Presences and courtesia Beauty can be complex, not merely pretty Fear-mongers left and right—and why not to listen Daily kindnesses—the neighbor, the shoveled driveway, the half-decent casserole Welcome to the festival; let the festival begin #BruceHerman #MakersByNature #ForTheLifeOfTheWorld #FaithAndArt #TheologyOfMaking #ArtAndFaith #Creativity #Hospitality #MakeNotConsume #YaleFaithAndCulture
“Do not judge the champions too harshly. Survival could make villains of any of us.” In this episode of Fictional Hangover, Amanda, Claire and SuperFan Claire talk about misleading advertising of death tournaments, using magic for ridiculous things, and how it sucks to suck in their discussion of All of Us Villains by Amanda Foody and C.L. Herman.
On this episode of Reaganism, Reagan Institute Director Roger Zakheim sits down with Arthur Herman to discuss his new book "Founder's Fire" and explore its thesis that America's founding fathers and modern business leaders share the same core traits: vision, action, risk-taking, and resilience in the face of failure. Herman argues that the Constitution intentionally created space for this “founder” spirit through executive power, patent protection, and the pursuit of happiness, allowing individuals to pursue innovation and prosperity. The conversation contrasts this American model with socialism and authoritarian systems like China, which Herman says suppress individual initiative and intellectual property. Overall, the discussion frames American exceptionalism as rooted in a culture that rewards creative freedom, entrepreneurship, and the belief that risk can produce transformational progress.

Finanssektoren har levert et todelt første halvår på Oslo Børs. Bankene har møtt økt press på nettorenteinntektene og svakere resultatutvikling enn mange ventet, mens forsikringsselskapene fortsetter å levere høy lønnsomhet. Samtidig kan et vedvarende høyt rentenivå gi medvind til begge sektorene, og skape nye investeringsmuligheter i andre halvår. I denne episoden av Paretopodden Sommerspesial får Sebastian Baartvedt besøk av aksjeanalytiker Herman Zahl for en oppdatering på bank- og forsikringssektoren. Sammen går de gjennom utviklingen så langt i 2026, hva som driver inntjeningen, og hvilke faktorer som blir viktigst for selskaper og investorer fremover. De ser nærmere på hvorfor bankenes inntjening har vært svakere enn ventet, hvordan høy kapitaltilgang, særlig blant de mindre bankene, påvirker konkurransen, og hvorfor de største bankenes disiplin kan legge grunnlaget for en sterkere høst. Videre diskuterer de hvorfor forsikringsselskapene fortsetter å levere solide resultater, med særlig fokus på Gjensidige, og om dagens høye lønnsomhet representerer et nytt normalnivå eller en midlertidig topp. Du får også innsikt i hvordan renteutviklingen påvirker begge sektorene, hvilke selskaper Herman mener er best posisjonert, og hva investorer bør følge med på når resultatsesongen og andre halvår 2026 står for tur.Disclaimer:Pareto Securities' podkaster inneholder ikke profesjonell rådgivning, og skal ikke betraktes som investeringsrådgivning.

History repeats itself when people ignore God, but history can change when people repent.In the final message of One Nation Under God, Pastor Dean looks at the rise and fall of Israel and Judah and the warning their story gives us today. A nation can experience God's blessing, claim to trust Him, and still drift into idolatry, compromise, pride, and false religion.Real change does not begin with pointing fingers at the world. It begins when God's people look in the mirror, humble themselves, turn from sin, and choose obedience over comfort.The question is not whether America is becoming like Israel. The question is whether we will learn from Israel before history repeats itself.

"I wrote a book and tried to find an agent and did not succeed. I wrote a second book that got an agent and no sales. I wrote a third book — it didn't even get nice rejection letters. I wrote a fourth book and it sold in three days." — April Henry --- ABOUT THIS EPISODE April Henry is the New York Times bestselling author of over thirty mysteries and thrillers, including Girl Stolen, Girl Forgotten, and Two Truths and a Lie. Her latest novel, In the Blood, follows Tessa, an adopted high school senior who takes a DNA test and discovers her biological father is a serial killer the Portland police have been hunting for over a decade. April's own origin story is just as compelling: at nine years old she killed off a character named Maggie in her first short story, then sent a tale about a six-foot frog to Roald Dahl — who wrote back, took it to lunch with his editor, and got it published in England. Mike and April talk about the nine-year journey to her first published novel, running through the woods in handcuffs for research, the nature-versus-nurture question at the heart of In the Blood, how AI is changing the publishing landscape, and why the best compliment a writer can get is "I stayed up till two in the morning." --- KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Roald Dahl made her believe she was a writer. At nine, April sent a story about a six-foot frog named Herman to Roald Dahl. He wrote back, showed it to his editor, and it was published in Puffin Post. That validation stuck — even though it would be decades before she published again. 2. Four books, nine years, one overnight success. Book one: no agent. Book two: agent, no sale. Book three: not even nice rejection letters. Book four: sold in three days. April's stubbornness and "willful optimism" kept her going when the math didn't add up. 3. A bad library book reignited the spark. After years of not writing, April read a terrible novel from a major publisher and thought: if that's the bar, I can clear it. That anger became motivation. 4. Research means running in handcuffs. April has taken knife-fighting classes, a three-day kidnapping escape course, and attended the Writers Police Academy. She learned that blood-test solution smells like rubbing alcohol — a sensory detail no textbook would ever mention. 5. DNA and family secrets inspired In the Blood. After inheriting old family photos she couldn't identify, April built a family tree and uncovered buried secrets. That curiosity, combined with the rise of consumer DNA testing, became the engine of the novel. 6. Nature versus nurture is the real question. April read memoirs by daughters of serial killers and studied the Minnesota Twins Separated at Birth study. Heredity influences more than we'd like to admit — down to identical twins who independently loved eating ketchup plain. 7. Cold-emailing experts works — if you've done your homework. April reached out to genetic genealogist Leah Larkin (The DNA Geek) with specific questions, not "explain DNA to me." People love to talk about their expertise when you show you've already put in the work. 8. The industry has changed dramatically. When April started, there was no internet, no ebooks, and research meant green-bound periodical guides at the library. Now there's more competition for attention, publishers are more cautious, and 35% of middle and high school students say they actively don't like to read. 9. AI is a double-edged sword for young writers. April caught a seventh grader passing off AI-generated text as his own — tipped off by correct semicolons. Her worry: if young writers lean on AI, they'll never do the hard work that actually teaches you the craft. 10. Trust your gut — that's the takeaway she writes for. April wants teen readers to finish her books believing they could think their way out of a bad situation, and that if something feels off, it probably is. --- GET THE BOOK In the Blood by April Henry (released May 2025) Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=In+the+Blood+April+Henry&tag=rettocasgra-20 Barnes & Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/s/in+the+blood+april+henry Bookshop.org: https://bookshop.org/a/54587/s/in+the+blood+april+henry Also by April Henry: Girl Stolen, Girl Forgotten, Two Truths and a Lie, and 27+ more --- CONNECT WITH APRIL Website: https://aprilhenry.com TikTok: @aprilhenrybooks — https://www.tiktok.com/@aprilhenrybooks TikTok (writing advice): @aprilhenrywritingadvice — https://www.tiktok.com/@aprilhenrywritingadvice Instagram: @aprilhenrybooks — https://www.instagram.com/aprilhenrybooks Facebook: April Henry — https://www.facebook.com/aprilhenrybooks Bluesky: @aprilhenry — https://bsky.app/profile/aprilhenry --- CONNECT WITH YOUR HOST Mike Carlon | Uncorking a Story Website: https://uncorkingastory.com YouTube: @uncorkingastory — https://www.youtube.com/@uncorkingastory Instagram: @uncorkingastory — https://www.instagram.com/uncorkingastory/ Facebook: Uncorking a Story — https://www.facebook.com/uncorkingastory TikTok: @uncorkingastory — https://www.tiktok.com/@uncorkingastory Twitter/X: @uncorkingastory — https://twitter.com/uncorkingastory LinkedIn: Uncorking a Story — https://www.linkedin.com/company/uncorking-a-story/ SUBSCRIBE & LEAVE A REVIEW — It helps more readers and writers find the show!

How can early-stage startups drive true transformation in the AECO space, and what happens when AI-native tools are designed to amplify human intent rather than replace the architect?In this bonus episode of Practice Disrupted, host Evelyn Lee explores the intersection of corporate acceleration and cutting-edge startup innovation. The conversation brings together German Aparicio from Trimble Ventures alongside Yiping Goh and Carlos Banon, the co-founders of Formas.AI.German walks listeners through the Trimble 0-60 accelerator program, which was recently named Built World's Accelerator Program of the Year. This 12-week, historically equity-free program invites early-stage startups to build on top of Trimble platforms like SketchUp and showcase their live integrations at Trimble Dimensions in Las Vegas this November. Herman outlines how Trimble acts as a system of record, searching for partners to create systems of action and intelligence across three key pillars: connected data, connected design, and the connected field. He also defines what "early stage" means for the program, targeting companies founded within the last five years, making under $2 million ARR, and operating with a couple of early customers looking to scale.The spotlight then shifts to Formas.AI, a participant in the current cohort operating in the connected design space. Co-founders Yiping and Carlos explain how their AI-native design workspace is bridging the gap between an initial sketch, reference image, or floor plan and a buildable 3D model in hours instead of months. Carlos, an architect and professor, shares how the tool was born out of personal frustration with fragmented interfaces and broken workflows that detach designers from the joy of creating. Yiping provides an entrepreneurial lens on the broader AEC industry, noting that while it represents 13% of global GDP, it remains one of the least digitized sectors, heavily reliant on legacy software and restricted by the slow timeline of physical building processes.Together, the group tackles the critical challenges of technology adoption, highlighting trust as a core barrier for practitioners who have invested heavily in traditional tools. Rather than replacing human designers, the founders argue for a democratization of design through guardrails that preserve creative authorship and intent. As Formas.AI navigates its 12-week acceleration path, they aim to leverage Trimble's ecosystem to deliver a validated, highly precise design experience that brings excitement and joy back to the craft."We are believing in the future of design being more human led, less or not even about human replaced. That the winners of AI are the ones that really can give people more creative power, not less." - Yiping GohThis episode serves as an inspiring look at how industry giants and agile startups can co-create workflows that amplify human intuition and make design fun again.GuestsGerman Aparicio runs the Zero to 60 accelerator program at Trimble Ventures. As a trained architect, he focuses on scaling early-stage software and hardware innovations that connect data, design, and job sites across the full project lifecycle.Yiping Goh is the co-founder and CEO of Formas.AI. She is a tech entrepreneur currently scaling her fourth company, with a professional background spanning a real estate degree, venture capital, corporate venture building at McKinsey, and multiple successful company exits.Carlos Banon is an architect, computational designer, and professor who has taught design in Singapore for the last 13 years. A self-taught coder since age six, he is the design and technical mind behind Formas.AI, having built its foundational versions to streamline creative workflows.This episode is especially for you if:✅ You want to understand how the Trimble 0-60 accelerator helps early-stage startups scale by integrating directly into established industry platforms like SketchUp.✅ You are curious about how Formas.AI closes the gap between a rough sketch and a buildable model using natural language and multimodal AI tools.✅ You want to explore why trust, legacy tools, and authority code submissions present unique adoption challenges within the AEC space.✅ You believe that AI technology should amplify a designer's creative intent and preserve human authorship rather than generate generic, unmeaningful variations.What have you done to take action lately?

Before ascending into heaven, Jesus gave His followers a clear mission: “You will be My witnesses… to the ends of the earth” — a calling they boldly began to live out on the day of Pentecost and that we are called to continue today.But witnessing isn't one-size-fits-all.In this series, we'll explore the lives of different evangelists and missionaries throughout history and discover that while the methods may vary, the mission remains the same: to help disconnected people become connected to Christ.
In Part 2 of The Mechanics of Magick: Drumming, Trance, and the Brain, we follow rhythm from the sacred road into the war road and the modern machine. This episode examines war drums, military cadence, synchronized movement, crowd power, ritual physiology, propaganda, slogans, media framing, algorithmic repetition, moral-emotional contagion, and the illusory truth effect. The argument is not that rhythm is evil. The argument is that rhythm is morally flexible and powerful. It can heal, gather, strengthen, command, manipulate, or capture depending on the world built around it. The drum teaches us to hear the visible pulse first, so we can recognize the hidden drums of the modern world: the chant, the slogan, the feed, the notification loop, the soundtrack, the repeated frame, and the rhythm that trains attention before thought has time to speak.Links For The Occult Rejectshttps://linktr.ee/theoccultrejectsOccult Research Institutehttps://www.occultresearchinstitute.org/Substackhttps://substack.com/@theoccultrejects?r=7auau0&utm_campaign=profile&utm_medium=profile-pageCash Apphttps://cash.app/$theoccultrejectsVenmo@TheOccultRejectsBuy Me A Coffeebuymeacoffee.com/TheOccultRejectsPatreonhttps://www.patreon.com/TheOccultRejectsRhythm, Marching, Synchrony, and the GroupBodyMcNeill, William H.

Ellul belongs in the “modern machine” argument because he treats propaganda as environmental, repetitive, social, technological, and tied to belonging.Bernays, Edward. Propaganda. New York: Horace Liveright, 1928.Use for public relations, engineered consent, mass persuasion, and the management of public opinion. Good supporting source, especially if you want advertising and PR to sit beside political propaganda.Herman, Edward S., and Noam Chomsky. Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media. New York: Pantheon Books, 1988.Use if you want a media-system critique: institutional filtering, agenda power, elite framing, and consent formation. This is useful for Part 2 but has a more political-economy angle than the rhythm/trance argument.Media Framing, Agenda-Setting, and Repeated AttentionMcCombs, Maxwell E., and Donald L. Shaw. “The Agenda-Setting Function of Mass Media.” Public Opinion Quarterly 36, no. 2 (1972): 176–187.Use for agenda-setting: media may not tell people exactly what to think, but it can influence what people think about and how important issues feel. This fits the “repetition trains attention” argument.Entman, Robert M. “Framing: Toward Clarification of a Fractured Paradigm.” Journal of Communication 43, no. 4 (1993): 51–58.Use for framing: selecting certain aspects of reality and making them more salient. This supports the section on media frames as secular ritual structures that define problems, causes, moral judgments, and remedies.Gitlin, Todd. The Whole World Is Watching: Mass Media in the Making and Unmaking of the New Left. Berkeley: University of California Press, 1980.Use if you want a historical case study on media framing and protest movements. Good optional source for how movements get shaped, simplified, or distorted by media attention.Postman, Neil. Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business. New York: Viking Penguin, 1985.Use as cultural/media theory support for entertainment, spectacle, image, and public discourse. Useful for the “modern machine” angle, but more essayistic than experimental.Repetition, Familiarity, and the Illusory Truth EffectHasher, Lynn, David Goldstein, and Thomas Toppino. “Frequency and the Conference of Referential Validity.” Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior 16, no. 1 (1977): 107–112.Use for the classic repetition/familiarity basis of the illusory truth effect. This supports the claim that repeated statements can gain perceived validity because they become easier and more familiar to processAlso want to remind people about the website, if you're into reading we have tons of information by multiple contributors, and we got t-shirts up on the site if you're interested. Fun fact, the art is all based on the eyeball.
