On this week's episode of True Crime New England, Katie and Liz travel over 230 years back in time to the 1780s in New London, Connecticut, to tell the unfortunate story of 12-year-old Hannah Occuish, the youngest person in the United States to ever be executed. Young Hannah had not had an easy life, so when a local 6-year-old girl was found brutally beaten, Hannah was a prime suspect. She eventually confessed to the murder and in December of 1786, she was hung. But the question still remains… did the Native-American girl actually kill the wealthy farmer's daughter?
Patrick McKenzie is joined by Adam Jarvis, author of the Public Service substack and a New Zealand civil engineer and public sector veteran. They discuss how political capital constraints, funding misalignment across government levels, and accumulated regulatory "scar tissue" make infrastructure projects extraordinarily difficult. The conversation reveals why replacing a water pipe now costs more in planning than the entire project did a decade ago, and how talent sorting has drained capacity from public institutions. Despite these challenges, Patrick and Adam find reasons for optimism about reforming government capacity.Complex Systems now has video episodes as well.

The Dead Sea Scrolls are one of the most fascinating and important archaeological discoveries for understanding the world of the Bible. In this episode, we sit down with Dead Sea Scrolls scholar, Dr. Andrew Perrin, to explore the rich and complex world of these ancient texts. From the famous Isaiah Scroll and the commentary on Habakkuk to Aramaic dream visions, scribal traditions, and the Pseudepigrapha, this conversation uncovers the diversity of writings found at Qumran. We also dive into the Enoch literature, the War Scroll, and how the theme of Messiah shows up in the scrolls. Along the way, we discuss the historical context of Scripture, the role of scribes, and the importance of curiosity when it comes to exploring these texts.

In this episode, Neoborn Caveman explores the current global socio-political landscape, arguing that despite widespread pessimism, humanity is actually experiencing its best period in history. He highlights significant improvements in health, food availability, security, and access to information, contrasting current conditions with historical challenges like toxic wallpapers, radioactive children's toys, and harmful medical practices.NC critically examines the rise of ideological movements like communism and techno-feudalism, arguing that these systems promise freedom but ultimately result in human subjugation. He discusses how various countries, including the United States, have been infiltrated by oppressive ideologies and how political systems tend to prioritize control over individual sovereignty. Neoborn emphasizes the importance of understanding historical patterns and recognizing how power structures manipulate populations through fear and compliance.Throughout the episode, Caveman advocates for individual awakening and resistance against systemic oppression. He argues that people should strive to be sovereign rather than individualistic, meaning they should share resources and support each other while maintaining personal freedom. NC calls for people to think critically, resist simplification of complex issues, and recognize their inherent power to challenge existing systems and create meaningful change.KEY QUOTES: • "Life has never ever been this good on earth." - Neoborn Caveman • "Consumerism is death. Compliance because of consumerism is death. Staying silent because of fear is also death spiritual first." - Neoborn Caveman • "Sovereignty means that we share. Individualism means we are selfish and we take things from each other." - Neoborn Caveman • "We the people need to become we the people. Nobody can rule us." - Neoborn Caveman • "Without a clear consciousness, a clear mindset, there won't be a clear direction." - Neoborn CavemanKEY TAKEAWAYS: • Despite global challenges, humanity is currently experiencing the best quality of life in recorded history, with unprecedented health, food availability, security, and information access • Communism and similar ideological systems promise freedom and equality but historically lead to human oppression, control, and reduced individual sovereignty • The United States represents a unique historical experiment of a nation founded without feudal predecessors, though its current trajectory shows signs of systemic corruption and ideological infiltration • Modern societal control mechanisms rely on consumerism, compliance, and fear to maintain power, effectively preventing meaningful resistance or systemic change • Current geopolitical tensions are primarily driven by economic interests rather than genuine ideological conflicts, with major powers avoiding direct infrastructure destruction • True sovereignty means sharing resources and maintaining individual freedom, in contrast to individualism which promotes selfish competition • Major world powers and tech companies depend more on people's compliance than people depend on them, suggesting potential for grassroots transformative change • Historical patterns reveal that significant social changes often start with imperfect, even problematic initial iterations before achieving more refined implementationsSupport the show on our Patreon by becoming a member or sending a direct donation: https://www.patreon.com/TheNeobornCavemanShow Free speech marinated in comedy.........Humanity centered satirical takes on the world & news + music - with a marble mouthed host.Free speech marinated in comedy.Supporting Purple Rabbits.

This is a comprehensive history of the Gribbin (Gribben/Gribbon) family. The author traces his own family line back to the early nineteenth century, setting it within the context of the wider Gribbin family story. He then tracks back through time to pinpoint Gribbins wherever they appear in the record. He has trawled the available sources, compiling the data in order to establish where all the Gribbins of the world were living during the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries (mostly in Ulster is the short answer), what they were doing and their socio-economic status. He is particularly keen to record any distinctive detail which might bring these Gribbin ancestors to life for the reader. In the process, we learn the history of Ulster and of those who emigrated from it; the politics, the wars, the tribulations and the daily lives of Gribbins down through the centuries. We trace their movements, their involvement in politics and how social/political change affected them. This is a rich tapestry which includes small Catholic farmers, Protestant industrialists, reforming doctors, learned scribes, soldiers and rebels, reformers and priests, all of them caught up in the turbulent whirlwind of Irish history.

In this case, the court considered this issue: Does 28 U.S.C. § 2244(b)(2) apply to all second habeas petitions, or only specific types of second petitions?The case was decided on June 12, 2025.The Supreme Court held that when a district court enters judgment on a first federal habeas petition, any subsequent habeas filing qualifies as a “second or successive application” subject to the strict requirements of §2244(b), regardless of whether the first petition is pending on appeal. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson authored the unanimous opinion of the Court.The Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act (AEDPA) establishes significant procedural barriers for second or successive habeas applications. These restrictions prohibit relitigating previously denied claims and permit new claims only when they rely on new retroactive constitutional law or present previously undiscoverable facts establishing innocence. Additionally, petitioners cannot file successive applications directly with the district court but must first obtain authorization from the court of appeals after making a prima facie showing that their petition satisfies one of §2244(b)(2)'s narrow exceptions. The phrase “second or successive application” constitutes a term of art that applies to filings seeking adjudication of federal claims on the merits, not merely to all filings made second in time.The entry of final judgment, not the pendency of appeal, marks the dividing line between first and second or successive habeas applications. While amended petitions filed before judgment do not trigger §2244(b), and Rule 59(e) motions represent a limited continuation of the original proceeding that merges into the final judgment, new habeas filings submitted after judgment constitute second or successive applications even during appeal. This rule advances AEDPA's purposes of conserving judicial resources, reducing piecemeal litigation, and lending finality to state court judgments. Allowing petitioners to file unlimited new applications during appellate review would encourage inefficiency and make it difficult to produce a single final judgment for appeal. Historical habeas doctrine before AEDPA provides no clear guidance, as courts inconsistently treated new filings during pending appeals.The opinion is presented here in its entirety, but with citations omitted.

What if the values we claim to cherish aren't reflected in how we spend our time? In this challenging examination of faith, marriage, and American ideals, Jesse Cope strikes at the heart of our modern contradictions."Have you made time for God today? Have you made time to read His word?" These opening questions set the tone for a penetrating exploration of misaligned priorities. Jesse argues that despite claiming faith matters deeply to us, our daily schedules often tell a different story. Similarly, with marriage – we profess its importance while consistently failing to serve our spouses or nurture these foundational relationships.Drawing from Revelation 18, Jesse examines the fall of Babylon as both historical account and powerful metaphor for modern America's moral challenges. The passionate warning to "Come out of her, my people" resonates as a call for believers to live differently in an increasingly materialistic culture without abandoning their responsibility to engage with society.The podcast takes a surprising turn into the uncomfortable reality of modern slavery through human trafficking. Jesse challenges listeners to recognize that while historical slavery ended generations ago, actual human bondage continues today in our communities – often overlooked in broader social discussions. This segment forces us to confront exploitation happening in our own backyards rather than focusing exclusively on historical injustices.Historical accounts from the Spanish Inquisition and America's revolutionary period provide sobering context for understanding how institutions – religious and governmental – can become corrupted when they stray from foundational principles. The colonists' concerns about judicial independence bear striking resemblance to contemporary debates about constitutional interpretation and accountability.Throughout this thought-provoking journey, one message remains clear: meaningful change in our personal lives, marriages, and nation begins with honestly evaluating the gap between what we say matters and how we actually live. As Jesse reminds us, "Why can't I start focusing on loving my spouse today? Why can't I make time for my kids today?" The invitation is to begin now, aligning our actions with our professed values before another day slips away.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

Episode Summary: In this compelling episode of "The Laser Light Show," Dr. Chad Woolner and Dr. Andrew Wells analyze the recently published MAHA report that reveals concerning trends in child health in America. The report attributes the growing health crisis to ultra-processed foods, environmental toxins, digital addiction, and the excessive use of medical therapies. Yet the report overlooks promising solutions like low-level laser therapy, which Dr. Woolner and Dr. Wells argue is crucial in reversing these alarming health trends. Join them as they delve into how laser technology can play a pivotal role in health recovery. The discussion leads with an examination of systemic failures but quickly progresses to potential solutions, particularly emphasizing the power of light therapy as an overlooked intervention. The guests discuss historical usage of laser therapies in other countries like Russia, highlighting its as-yet-unrealized potential in the U.S. healthcare system. Through enlightening anecdotes and expert perspectives, they argue for broader adoption and understanding of laser solutions in addressing chronic health issues, not only for the individual but also from a systemic, societal perspective. This episode is a thought-provoking exploration for anyone concerned with the current state and future of healthcare. Key Takeaways: The recent MAHA report signals a dire health crisis among American children, primarily driven by poor nutrition, environmental toxins, excessive screen time, and overreliance on medical interventions. There is a growing divide between traditional healthcare methods and innovative solutions, with laser therapy offering a versatile, effective tool that has not been fully embraced. Low-level laser therapy has over 10,000 peer-reviewed studies attesting to its effectiveness for diverse health concerns, yet it remains sidelined in mainstream American medical practices. Historical examples, such as government-endorsed laser therapy in Russia, underline the therapy's viability and yet-to-be-tapped potential in America. Advocacy for improved dialogue and openness to alternative therapies is necessary to shift current healthcare approaches and foster better health outcomes. Notable Quotes: "A federal report just confirmed what many of us… have been saying for years. We are facing the sickest generation of children in American history." - Dr. Chad Woolner "Some of the MAHA report is like obvious, but some of it… really deserves some attention for once." - Dr. Andrew Wells "We should be able to find some degree of common ground when we're talking about health." - Dr. Chad Woolner "Lasers can do just about, if not everything medicine can do, but better and with less side effects." - Dr. Chad Woolner "The great thing is there's a lot of good things that you can use. The hard thing from a government standpoint is there's a lot of really cool things that you could do for a lot of different health issues." - Dr. Andrew Wells Resources: Low-level Laser Therapy (LLLT) Studies - Search for "low-level laser therapy" on PubMed for extensive scientific research. Riconia Lasers - Explore more about Erchonia and their low-level laser products. To fully understand the predictive insights and detailed analysis regarding the vast potential of laser technologies in healthcare, make sure to listen to the full episode. Stay tuned for more enlightening discussions from the "Laser Light Show," where we continue to push the boundaries of conventional medicine and make meaningful changes to health dialogues worldwide.
Vanessa Cominsky joins Case and Sam to RAGE against this awkward historical epic! Overview Podcast hosts Case Aiken and Sam Alicea provide a framework for discussing the 2004 film Troy, highlighting its connection to early 2000s epic films like Gladiator and 300. Vanessa Cominsky, a guest and classics major, notes a 4-year professional bond with Case stemming from shared academic interests. David Benioff, the film's screenwriter, is discussed in relation to his later work on Game of Thrones and identified issues in narrative depth. Whitewashing criticism surfaces regarding the film's predominantly white cast, despite its story set in a historically diverse region. Analysis reveals a lack of clear passage of time, compressing the depicted 10-year Trojan War into a brief narrative span. Costume design receives praise for historical accuracy while the film's runtime discrepancies are critiqued, with the director's cut deemed excessive. Thematic exploration includes Agamemnon's characterization as a villain symbolizing US imperialism, contrasting with sympathetic portrayals of the Trojans. Sean Bean's potential as Odysseus is noted but criticized for underutilization, while Peter O'Toole's Priam provides limited but impactful performance. Improvement suggestions include altering the title to better reflect Achilles' journey and revising the narrative structure to enhance character development. Upcoming initiatives include a scholarship program for women in wine, launched by Vanessa Cominsky's nonprofit Vin Vitalite in 2025. @vminsky @womenofwinedc Www.vinVitalité.org (Pronounced vinn vitahlihtay) Notes ️ Podcast Introduction & Setup (00:00 - 02:45) Hosts Case Aiken and Sam Alicea introduce the 'Another Pass' podcast, discussing movie analysis and improvements. Guest Vanessa Cominsky introduced as Case's coworker from wine/spirits industry and fellow classics major. Discussion of 4-year professional relationship and bonding over classics background. Movie Context & Background (02:45 - 09:38) Analysis of 2004 film Troy as adaptation loosely based on oral tradition. Discussion of movie within context of early 2000s epic films including Gladiator, 300, and Lord of the Rings trilogy. David Benioff identified as screenwriter, connecting to later Game of Thrones writing style issues. Observation that Odysseus character tells audience he's clever but never demonstrates intelligence in actual scenes. Political interpretation: movie reflects 2004 centrist liberal perspective on Middle Eastern conflicts with 'support the troops' messaging. Film Production & Casting Analysis (09:38 - 19:22) Vanessa's personal connection: used movie for high school Latin convention project and senior thesis. Whitewashing criticism - movie depicts conflict between Greece and Middle East with entirely white cast. Brad Pitt as main marketing draw playing Achilles in peak popularity period. Case's viewing experience in Rome during classics trip, creating nostalgic connection to material. Story Structure & Adaptation Choices (19:22 - 28:32) Movie covers broader Trojan War story rather than just Iliad, including Trojan Horse sequence not in original epic. Brian Cox as Agamemnon praised as perfect casting choice despite whitewashing issues. Discussion of movie's approach to gods - humans take credit for actions rather than divine intervention. ️ Character Analysis - Heroes and Villains (28:32 - 38:14) Agamemnon positioned as main villain representing US imperialism, while Trojans portrayed sympathetically. Hector vs Achilles juxtaposition works well as respective champions of each side. Orlando Bloom as Paris criticized as too whiny and lacking roguish charm needed for character. Eric Bana as Hector praised as everyone's 'big brother' figure and moral center. Production Design & Technical Elements (38:14 - 47:42) Costume design highly praised for historical accuracy and visual distinction between Greeks and Trojans. Director's cut vs theatrical cut - director's cut too long at 3 hours 16 minutes with unnecessary gore. Runtime issues - theatrical cut feels rushed while director's cut is excessive. War Portrayal & Geographic Issues (47:43 - 56:37) Time compression problem - 10-year war feels like weeks or months with no passage of time indicated. Troy's geography poorly established - unclear city layout and siege logistics. Siege warfare portrayed as single-direction battle rather than comprehensive blockade. Thematic Elements & Religious Context (56:38 - 01:05:46) Gods' role minimized to hint at divine influence without direct intervention. Moral philosophy embedded in Achilles-Briseis conversations about mortality and divinity. Historical accuracy questioned regarding Bronze Age vs Classical Greek terminology and social structures. Casting and Performance Critique (01:05:46 - 01:15:32) Sean Bean as Odysseus underutilized despite perfect casting choice. Peter O'Toole as Priam noted as big casting choice but limited screen time. James Cosmo casting questioned as underused Trojan general. Improvement Proposals - Sam's Pitch (01:15:32 - 01:26:16) Title change to 'The Wrath of Achilles' to better reflect actual story focus. Sean Bean expansion - more scenes showing passage of time and war strategy. Runtime reduction - cut Trojan perspective to focus on Greek side and Achilles' journey. Narrative structure - use Odysseus as storyteller/narrator rather than voiceover. Improvement Proposals - Vanessa's Pitch (01:26:16 - 01:36:20) Scope change to focus on Achilles from moment Odysseus recruits him. Character development - establish Greek power structure and vassal relationships. Agamemnon characterization - emphasize him as villain representing imperialism more clearly. Improvement Proposals - Casey's Pitch (01:36:20 - 01:45:13) Geographic clarity - establish Troy's layout and siege positioning with additional CG shots. Time passage - visual indicators and dialogue establishing years-long conflict. Battle variety - different environments including sea battles and raids on surrounding areas. Violence balance - between theatrical cut's sanitization and director's cut's excess. Final Discussion & Wrap-up (01:45:13 - 02:05:58) David Benioff background revealed as Goldman Sachs executive's son, explaining Hollywood access. Vanessa's organization - Vin Vitalite, DC women in wine industry nonprofit with 501(c)(3) status. Scholarship program launching 2025 for women in wine industry. Next episode preview - Highlander 2: The Quickening.
Conceived as the most modern, humane incarceration facility the world had ever seen, New York's Blackwell's Island, site of a lunatic asylum, two prisons, an almshouse, and a number of hospitals, quickly became, in the words of a visiting Charles Dickens, "a lounging, listless madhouse." Digging through city records, newspaper articles, and archival reports, Stacy Horn tells a gripping narrative through the voices of the island's inhabitants. We also hear from the era's officials, reformers, and journalists, including the celebrated undercover reporter Nellie Bly. And we follow the extraordinary Reverend William Glenney French as he ministers to Blackwell's residents, battles the bureaucratic mazes of the Department of Correction and a corrupt City Hall, testifies at salacious trials, and in his diary wonders about man's inhumanity to his fellow man. Damnation Island: Poor, Sick, Mad and Criminal in 19th Century New York (Algonquin Books, 2019) shows how far we've come in caring for the least fortunate among us--and reminds us how much work still remains. Stacy Horn shows that in setting up institutions for the humane treatment of social outcasts, New York City was so quickly overwhelmed by the sheer numbers confined to the Insane Asylum, Workhouse, Almshouse, Penitentiary and Hospital, that what emerged was a veritable gulag on Blackwell's (now Roosevelt) Island. Based on a careful reading of both remarkably candid official documents detailing widespread suffering and accounts by the intrepid undercover reporter Nellie Bly and the socially prominent Josephine Shaw Lowell, we come to appreciate the long shadow of history cast over the city's remaining island of the damned—Rikers.

In this monthly book club edition of Yet Another Value Podcast, host Andrew Walker is joined by Byrne Hobart of The Diff and Capital Gains to unpack Ray Dalio's latest book, How Countries Go Broke: The Big Cycle. The pair probe Dalio's sweeping macroeconomic theories, debt cycles, historical analogies, and technology's role in shaping the future. They scrutinize the credibility of Dalio's claims, the real-world implications of sovereign debt risks, and the potential misapplications of macro trading skills to macroeconomic policymaking. The conversation winds through AI's effect on productivity, the staying power of elites through societal upheavals, and even the viability of crypto as a hedge. It's a rich analysis with sharp skepticism and economic nuance._________________________________________________[00:00:00] Podcast and guest introduction[00:01:38] Initial thoughts on Dalio's book[00:05:26] Short vs. long debt cycles[00:06:40] Historical cycle timing critique[00:07:24] Pre-WWI and 1930s comparison[00:10:11] Disconnection between theories and globalization[00:16:25] Institutional trust and economic cycles[00:18:18] Credibility of Dalio's theories[00:21:26] Macro trading vs. macro policy[00:24:42] Trump-era policy implications[00:26:19] Foreign debt selling as signal[00:28:14] Put options in tail events[00:32:35] Buffett's strategic puts example[00:35:32] Technology optimism in final chapter[00:40:25] AI effects on labor, productivity[00:45:43] Older professionals using AI[00:47:00] Book's global bearish stance[00:51:22] Historical elite persistence examples[00:53:45] Bitcoin in crisis scenarios[01:01:54] Sovereign wealth fund proposal critiqueLinks:Yet Another Value Blog: https://www.yetanothervalueblog.com See our legal disclaimer here: https://www.yetanothervalueblog.com/p/legal-and-disclaimer
This week, Amy and Megan dive headfirst into one of the darkest and most disturbing Dead Files episodes yet: Season 10, Episode 1 – “Taken.” Set in Mahwah, New Jersey (which yes, is north of NYC—who knew?!), this case features shadow people, child spirits, and one truly unnerving ghost bear creeping through the house… on tiptoes.The haunting centers on Jen, her husband Gary, and their four kids. What starts as “we think the house might be haunted” quickly escalates into “multiple demonic entities are trying to possess our children.” It's heavy, it's heartbreaking, and somehow we still find time to make jokes about Switzerland, snack breaks, and John Candy.Topics include:
This week's episode of the Parsing Immigration Policy podcast delves into the Insurrection Act, its historical uses, and whether it could legally authorize the use of the military to assist in the arrest and removal of illegal aliens.The Insurrection Act allows presidents to deploy federal troops not only in cases of insurrection but also when federal law can't practicably be enforced through conventional means. The Posse Comitatus Act, which many point to as preventing such a use of troops, is not the obstacle many assume it is.President Trump so far has only tasked troops with protection of federal facilities and agents, but, if he chooses to exercise it, he does have authority under the Insurrection Act to put them to work actually enforcing immigration law.“The Insurrection Act has been invoked by leaders of both parties to protect civil rights and to enforce federal law. President Trump would have ample justification to use the Insurrection Act to allow the U.S. military to assist with large-scale deportation efforts,” said podcast guest George Fishman, Senior Legal Fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies and former Deputy General Counsel at DHS.Historical precedent:Over the past more than 200 years, presidents have relied on the Insurrection Act to deal with some 30 crises.Presidents of both parties have relied on the Insurrection Act: Grant to suppress the early KKK, Cleveland to protect Chinese immigrants, Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson to enforce civil rights for African Americans, Bush to restore order during the 1992 LA riots.Misconceptions about the Posse Comitatus Act (PCA):The PCA does not apply where Congress has explicitly authorized military use — such as under the Insurrection Act.Immigration enforcement today:More than 15 million illegal aliens are in the U.S.3.6 million backlog in immigration court.1.4 million aliens have final removal orders, yet remain at large. Millions of removable aliens were released by the Biden administration, and ICE has no knowledge of their location.ICE has only 6,000 officers to manage enforcement nationwide.HostMark Krikorian is the Executive Director of the Center for Immigration StudiesGuestGeorge Fishman is the Senior Legal Fellow at the Center for Immigration StudiesRelatedDon't Fear the Insurrection ActPresident Trump Doesn't Need to Invoke the Insurrection Act — He Already HasIntro MontageVoices in the opening montage:Sen.

For decades, dietary guidelines—and the Food Pyramid in particular—have been at the center of heated debates and considerable controversy. These guidelines have often been accused of being influenced by industry interests, oversimplifying nutritional nuance, or even directly contributing to rising obesity and metabolic disease rates. In this episode, we critically assess common claims surrounding the Food Pyramid, including whether it was truly shaped by vested industry interests, if it encouraged harmful dietary shifts toward excessive carbohydrate and sugar consumption, and whether the subsequent health outcomes seen at the population level can be fairly attributed to these guidelines. Additionally, we evaluate the role of the sugar industry in funding key studies and publications, examining the implications such conflicts of interest may have had on nutritional science. Drawing on historical context, rigorous examination of scientific evidence, and an evaluation of how nutritional recommendations have evolved, this discussion aims to clarify misunderstandings, highlight legitimate criticisms, and separate fact from persistent myths regarding dietary guidance and its implications for health.

An episode that didn't just think outside the box—it questioned why there's a box in the first place!In Episode 143 of The Autistic Culture Podcast, Dr Angela Kingdon continues our journey through the 10 Pillars of Autistic Culture as we move onto Pillar 6 — Game Changing Innovation. Autistic innovation isn't about trends or flash. It's about paradigm shifts. It's about seeing what no one else is looking for, hyperfocusing on what matters, and rebuilding the world, system by system.Dr Angela looks deep into the game-changing transformations developed by Autistic game changers, such as Sir Isaac Newton, who invented Calculus, Sir Richard Branson's out-of-the-box business models, and Angela's father's innovations in creating build-your-own Hot Rod kit cars.Here's what defines this core Autistic trait:* Autistic people challenge assumptions, not to be difficult, but because we can see the assumptions in the first place.* Neurodivergent people innovate through sensory truth, emotional intensity, and process precision.* Autistic people don't disrupt the status quo to seek attention. We disrupt because the system doesn't make sense, and we can't unsee that.* Game changers in autistic culture often challenge capitalist efficiency with a call for meaning, integrity, and alignment.* Many autistic innovators aren't seen as leaders until the world catches up to their vision.* Historical and modern change agents in autistic culture often operate without blueprints, forging their own.Key Concepts:* Game-changing is not about chasing disruption for its own sake. It's about building entirely new paradigms based on noticing what others overlook.* Autistic game changers are pattern-breakers and system rewriters — not trend-followers.* Our deep focus and drive for autonomy let us find wholly new approaches to enduring problems.* Emotional intensity and sensory insights fuel world-building innovation.* It's often misunderstood or resisted because the new paradigm doesn't fit existing frameworks.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers break down NBA Game 7. Best bets as always. The podcast episode of RJ Bell's Dream Preview hosted by Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers dives into the upcoming NBA Finals Game 7 between the Indiana Pacers and the Oklahoma City Thunder, focusing on Game 6 recap, player and team statistics, Game 7 historical trends, and predictions. Munaf begins by acknowledging the unexpected extension to Game 7, joking that rapper Drake may be responsible after placing a massive bet on the Thunder in Game 6. Mackenzie reflects on his incorrect prediction and credits Indiana's resilience, noting they've consistently defied expectations. In Game 6, the Pacers delivered a balanced team performance. Tyrese Halliburton, playing through injury, contributed 14 points and 5 assists in 23 minutes. Four starters reached double figures, while Obi Toppin scored 20 off the bench. TJ McConnell added 12 points, 9 rebounds, and 6 assists. The Thunder, in contrast, had a dismal shooting night, hitting only 8 of 30 from three-point range, with starters going 1 for 13. They managed just 91 points, their lowest of the season. Defensively, the Pacers adjusted from full-court pressure in Game 4 to a more strategic, trap-heavy defense in Game 6. Mackenzie compares McConnell's impact to J.J. Barea in 2011, praising Rick Carlisle's coaching and noting that he's achieved more with less than most NBA coaches. Munaf suggests Carlisle's legacy could be cemented with a second improbable championship, citing his 2011 win over Miami's Big Three. Looking at Game 7, the Thunder are favored by 7.5 points with a total of 214.5. Historical trends support a close contest: since 2002, 62% of Game 7s have gone under the total, with average victory margins at just 6.9 points. Of the past ten NBA Finals Game 7s, only one had a margin over 7.5. Munaf notes that OKC's strong home record and MVP-caliber season from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (SGA) bring added pressure, while Indiana is seen as playing with house money. Mackenzie believes the Thunder's legacy burden may weigh heavier on SGA than any player, contrasting Halliburton's low-risk, high-reward scenario. Referee influence, especially the likely assignment of Scott Foster, could shape the game. Foster is known for calling more fouls and previously officiated two Finals Game 7s, including the 2010 Celtics-Lakers game where LA shot 37 free throws. Munaf warns that if Foster is officiating, foul counts may spike. Both hosts back the Pacers +7.5 as their best bet. They emphasize Indiana's ability to stay within striking distance, citing the last four Finals teams that forced Game 7s after trailing 3–2 all won the title. Regarding props, Munaf favors Pascal Siakam's rebound over (7.5), noting consistent double-digit boards and high minutes. SGA and Caruso are tipped to exceed 2.5 combined steals and blocks, given the high-pressure context. Mackenzie leans under on Halliburton's 15.5 point line, which is near season-low, but suggests parlaying Halliburton overs with a Pacers win if expecting an upset. In closing, the hosts predict a tight, gritty Game 7 in line with NBA history. Both expect Indiana to cover and potentially win, citing momentum, strategic flexibility, and psychological freedom versus the high stakes confronting OKC. Learn more about your ad choices.

Story at-a-glance Neurological injuries from vaccination have been documented since the smallpox vaccine over two centuries ago, with severe injuries reported throughout medical literature The medical profession concealed these injuries, believing public vaccination benefits justified hiding information that might create vaccine hesitancy Historical injuries like spreading paralysis mirror current "one in a million" vaccine injuries, but toxicity documentation was erased to preserve the "safe and effective" narrative In the past, these injuries were widely reported, but now research into them is widely censored Many of these forgotten reports are critical for understanding modern “inexplicable” conditions like Autism
