Listen to the full episode In 1994, Pulitzer Prize-winning Harvard psychiatry professor John E. Mack became one of the most pedigreed proponents of UFOs, alien abductions, and the alien-hybrid breeding scheme. He was introduced to celebrated painter, amateur hypnotherapist,  and UFO researcher Budd Hopkins by transpersonal psychologist Stan Grof. Hopkins had helped author Whitley Strieber recover the abduction “memories” that became the book (and then movie) Communion. Mack and Hopkins quickly produced their own movie, Intruders. Mack published Abduction: Human Encounters with Aliens, going on the TV talk-show circuit with star patients that believed they were being experimented on while on alien spacecraft. Oprah slotted alien abductions right into her schedule, alongside Satanic ritual abuse, multiple personality disorder, and past-lives regressions.  In reasoning not unfamiliar to Conspirituality listeners, Hopkins claimed a government conspiracy was covering up the ET hybrid breeding scheme, while Mack explained the lack of physical evidence by claiming the abduction experience “challenged the Western paradigm of materialist science.” The X-Files TV show was inspired by their work, which also spawned today's generation of UFO grifters, alien channelers, and pastel-Q lightworkers.  For today's installment of his The Roots of Conspirituality series, Julian explores the characters, stories, psychology, and cultural significance of fantastical repressed memories retrieved under hypnosis—be they of horny demons, ritual Satanic abuse, or alien scientists who steal abductee's DNA in the night.

In a pre-Christmas battle of Alberta... Connor McDavid had another typical night. Crazy stuff.

Mark Hopkins, General Manager of Dell Technologies Ireland, has unveiled his top five technology predictions for 2026, outlining how Artificial Intelligence (AI), data and intelligent automation will fundamentally reshape how Irish businesses and public services operate. The technology leader is forecasting a major acceleration in AI adoption, as organisations move from pilots and proof-of-concept projects to enterprise-wide deployment. In 2026, AI will become embedded into everyday operations, delivering measurable gains in productivity, efficiency and resilience across the Irish economy. Key predictions include the rise of physical and agentic AI, a step-change in public sector adoption, and a renewed focus on infrastructure and workforce upskilling. "In 2026, AI will be treated not just as a tool but as a strategic asset capable of delivering measurable impact across operations, innovation and customer engagement," said Mark Hopkins, General Manager of Dell Technologies Ireland. "Leaders who act now to integrate AI thoughtfully, modernise infrastructure and upskill their workforce will gain a decisive competitive edge." "From Bantry to Belfast, organisations are discovering that speed, data and intelligent automation are now the defining levers of competitiveness," Hopkins added. "By anticipating the technology trends that will shape Ireland's economy, Dell Technologies is helping organisations adopt AI responsibly and turn promise into real business advantage." 1. AI will take on a physical form - but not in the way many expect In 2026, AI will step out of the digital shadows and take on tangible roles in the real world. Humanoid robots on every street are not expected; instead, purpose-built machines such as drones, mobile robots, and autonomous systems will be deployed to address specific challenges. Examples include AI-powered crawlers that navigate power lines to identify issues and coordinate repairs to critical infrastructure. In healthcare, logistics robots will streamline hospital operations, freeing up staff for patient care. This new wave of "physical AI" will tackle repetitive, dangerous, and physically demanding work, delivering speed and safety at scale. For Ireland, with its dispersed population and infrastructure needs, these innovations will help bridge geographic gaps and enhance resilience. 2. Agentic AI will shift from helpful assistant to an integral manager AI will move beyond chatbots and copilots to autonomous agents capable of managing complex, multi-step workflows. These systems will validate data, trigger approvals, coordinate with other agents and ensure compliance across business processes. With nearly 90% of organisations identifying strong opportunities to create value from Agentic AI, according to the Dell Innovation Catalysts Study, Irish organisations - particularly in regulated sectors - will need secure, auditable infrastructure to manage the explosion of data and system interactions these agents create. 3. Public sector will go all-in on AI, with healthcare leading the charge After a period of cautious pilots, 2026 will see the Irish public sector move decisively to scale AI, with healthcare leading the way. AI-driven diagnostic support, automated clinical documentation and predictive resource planning will move from trial to production, helping to reduce waiting lists and improve patient outcomes. As adoption increases, the focus will shift from theoretical debates about AI ethics to practical governance, with public-private partnerships playing a central role in delivering secure, sovereign AI solutions. 4. Data deluge will redefine IT infrastructure AI both consumes and generates vast volumes of data, much of it unstructured. As agentic AI becomes mainstream, hybrid IT architectures will become the norm. Critical data and high-value workloads will remain on-premises for control and security, while cloud platforms provide flexibility and scale. Edge computing will push AI processing...

Samuel Johnson's doctor, Robert Levet, had piecemeal medical knowledge at best, was described as an ‘an obscure practiser in physick' by James Boswell and was only paid for his work with gin. Yet for Johnson this eccentric man deserved a poetic tribute for demonstrating ‘the power of the art without show', a phrase that could as much describe the poem itself. In this episode, Seamus and Mark close their series by looking at the ways in which Johnson's elegy, 'On the Death of Dr Robert Levet', rejects the pastoral heroism of the poem they started with, Milton's ‘Lycidas', and compare it to two poems that offer their own kinds of unsentimental, eccentric portrait: 'Felix Randal' by Gerard Manley Hopkins and 'Stephen Boyd, 1957-99' by Mick Imlah. Seamus and Mark will be back in January to start their new series, 'Narrative Poems'. Non-subscribers will only hear an extract from this episode.

The lawyer representing victims of a former Russell McVeagh partner, whose behaviour helped ignite New Zealand's #MeToo movement, says it'll be up to clients whether they want to work with him. James Gardner-Hopkins was found guilty of six misconduct charges by the Lawyers and Conveyancers Disciplinary Tribunal in 2021 - and suspended for three years. He's now been granted a new practising certificate by the Law Society, which says he's fit to return as a barrister. Steph Dyhrberg says the decision will put some clients off, but others may not see it as a barrier. "That's the thing about having a practicing certificate, you've sort of got a brand on you from the Law Society that you're a fit and suitable person."

The Trump Administration has made life very challenging for immigrants across the United States. And that's really been felt here in the Bay Area, where roughly a third of residents are immigrants. Many of the rights immigrants to the U.S. have are actually rooted right here in San Francisco's Chinatown. The community there came together more than a century ago, to fight against government efforts to remove Chinese people from the country.KALW recently held a live event focused on the history of one of the most prominent businesses for Chinese immigrants: laundries. It was called "The Anti-Immigrant Spin Cycle: Challenging A White-Washed History."  The evening was hosted by KALW's Executive Producer, Ben Trefny. And included David Lei, a board member with the Chinese Historical Society of America, Here's part of their conversation, starting with David explaining the court case of Yick Wo v. Hopkins, and how it shaped the rights for immigrants in America today.

The red flowered plant that shows up everywhere at this time of year–I saw a forest of them in Wegman's this morning– is called in Mexico the cuetlaxochitl, or the noche buena; but Americans know it by as the namesake of man who introduced it to the United States: poinsettia. Yet Joel Roberts Poinsett was a more interesting organism than that plant given his name. He was a South Carolinian who spent years away from the state, and was a committed nationalist and anti-nullifier; a world traveller when few Americans were; a slaveowner who other slaveowners regarded as potentially anti-slavery; an international investor who also labored for South Carolina local improvements; a diplomat who spent years if not decades trying to find a way to be a soldier. And that's leaving a few facets of his identity out.

You've heard it in blues music, seen it referenced in Southern folklore, and maybe even spotted one tucked away in an old attic or antique store. But what exactly is a mojo hand? And why do so many people believe it has the ability to change someone's luck, protect against harm, or alter the course of a person's life? We explore the origins of mojo hands, tracing them back to the spiritual blends of African, Native American, and European traditions. Traditionally made from red flannel and containing a carefully selected collection of roots, herbs, stones, coins, personal items, or written petitions, a mojo hand is believed to be more than an object — it is treated as a living spiritual tool that must be fed, respected, and kept hidden from others. Once touched or opened by someone else, the mojo's power is said to fade… or even turn against the owner. This episode takes listeners into the heart of blues culture, where musicians like Muddy Waters and Lightnin' Hopkins famously sang about keeping their "mojo working." We explore why so many blues legends depended on these magical charm bags and how the tradition shaped parts of Southern music and identity. We also share compelling stories from folklore and modern encounters, including the unnerving tale of a gambler whose luck skyrockets — until someone touches his mojo hand and his life unravels in days. You'll hear accounts from listeners who've found mojo bags tucked behind walls or under floorboards, along with chilling experiences that followed. We also uncover darker uses of mojo hands such as hot foot spells, hexing bags, and graveyard-consecrated charms meant to bind, confuse, or torment. Throughout the episode, we break down different types of mojo hands — love hands, money hands, protection hands, and more — and discuss how rootworkers historically crafted each one with intention and spiritual purpose. We also examine why mojo hands are still widely used today, how genuine rootworkers create them, and why mass-produced versions are considered both disrespectful and powerless. As we close, we reflect on the deeper meaning behind these charm bags: the belief in personal empowerment, the connection to ancestors and heritage, and the mysterious blend of psychology, intention, and spiritual energy that continues to draw people toward folk magic. If you've ever found or used a mojo hand — or have your own experiences with magical objects — we invite you to share your stories with us. This is one episode where the supernatural meets culture, music, and mystery… so keep your mojo working and stay spooky!   Welcome to the 222 Paranormal Podcast, your gateway to the captivating world of the supernatural.

In this episode of From the Pasture with Hired Hand, we visit Brad and Mckenna Weick of Weick's Registered Longhorns (WRL)—a small, 80-acre family farm in Hopkins, Michigan. With help from their kids—Weston, Evelynn, and Braxton—the Weicks share how they balance preserving Texas Longhorn tradition with breeding for conformation and a future-focused program.They walk us through the practical playbook they wish every new breeder had:Find a mentor early and lean on their experience.Have a plan—clear herd goals, timelines, and a budget.Visit other ranches to study cattle in person and learn different program approaches.Quality over quantity—why a tighter, better herd advances faster than just adding numbers.From the show ring to everyday chores on their Hopkins place, WRL's story is about family, resilience, and raising Longhorns that honor the breed's heritage while pushing standards higher—one generation at a time.Weick's Registered Longhorns: https://www.weickslonghorns.com/Send us a textFrom the Pasture with Hired Hand:Hired Hand Websites (@hiredhandwebsites): https://hiredhandsoftware.comHired Hand Live (@hiredhandlive): https://hiredhandlive.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/hiredhandwebsites/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HiredHandSoftwareTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hiredhandwebsitesNewsletter: https://www.hiredhandsoftware.com/resources/stay-informed

This Sunday we join Kevin in his sermon "'It's Complicated." And That's Beautiful. That's Grace." Taking our cue from a few poems by the Jesuit priest Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844—89) which echo wisdom found in the Psalms, we'll consider what it means to have a sacramental world view—to find visible reminders of God's invisible grace everywhere around us. Even in the mixed-up, messed-up, impure things, what Hopkins called “pied things.” Even in the messiness of our everyday lives. Kevin Dettmar is a professor of English at Pomona College, where he teaches courses in British and Irish literature and contemporary popular music. He and his wife Robyn have been members of CUCC since 2022.

Matthew 24:36-44But about that day and hour no one knows, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. For as the days of Noah were, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. For as in the days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark, and they knew nothing until the flood came and swept them all away, so, too, will be the coming of the Son of Man. Then two will be in the field; one will be taken, and one will be left. Two women will be grinding meal together; one will be taken, and one will be left. Keep awake, therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. But understand this: if the owner of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. What's on your list? That's the question I asked and got asked most over the past few days. If your family is anything like mine, Thanksgiving weekend is when we trade Christmas lists and start imagining what we hope to unwrap. Maybe you do something similar. Or maybe you're one of the brave ones who heads out into the crowds to score the deals on those lists.I like going out not so much for the sales, but to soak in the spirit of the season. Lights are up, people are dressed up, bells are ringing outside while Christmas music blares inside. Santa waves between photos. And at this point, people look happy—not yet crushed by the unrealistic expectations we all put on this season. There's something energizing about it.But then you show up to worship this morning… only to be shocked by what we just heard. We come to church in December expecting stories of hope from a pregnant Mary, the quiet faithfulness of Joseph, or the peace of a cooing baby Jesus.And instead — we get none of that.What we always get on the first Sunday of Advent are these strange, end-of-the-world texts. This morning, Jesus compares his return to the days of Noah—people going about their lives, unaware, until the flood came suddenly. He says his coming will be just as unexpected.Then it gets even more unsettling: two men working in a field, and one is taken. Two women working in a home, and one disappears. When I first read that this week, all I could picture was two pastors in the office; one taken, one left behind. I'll let you decide which.And finally, perhaps most troubling of all, Jesus compares his coming to a thief breaking into a house at an unknown hour and robbing it. A thief?! What is going on here? It's strange, unsettling, and so out of step with our cultural Christmas expectations, where a certain man arrives right on time and leaves us piles of wonderful things.What we get in this passage feels a lot less like Santa… and a lot more like this: That's hilarious and terrible, and I'm definitely not recommending you do that to your children. Though if you do… please send the video. But the Grinch showing up at an unexpected moment to take things away isn't all that different from the metaphor Jesus uses about himself in today's passage. He says the day and hour of his return we cannot know; not even he knows. But when we least expect it, in a way we won't anticipate, Jesus promises to return.If we imagine ourselves as the homeowner in this metaphor, it sounds like bad news — because a thief breaking in means we're about to lose something. But what if this sudden, unexpected loss isn't a threat at all. Maybe we need someone to break in and take certain things away; not like the Grinch stealing presents, but like a holy thief who steals what we don't need, what harms us, what we can't let go of or get rid of on our own.After all, some of the greatest gifts in life aren't the things we receive… but the things we're finally freed from.Just ask Sir Anthony Hopkins.The famous actor sat down with the New York Times for one of their installments of The Interview. The first question David Marchese asked him was: “Can you tell me about what happened on December 29th, 1975, at 11 o'clock?”Hopkins responded:I was drunk and driving my car here in California, blacked out, no clue where I was going, when I realized that I could have killed somebody — or myself, which I didn't care about — and I realized that I was an alcoholic. I came to my senses and said to a friend at a party, “I need help.” It was 11 o'clock precisely — I looked at my watch — and this is the spooky part: some deep powerful thought or voice spoke to me from inside and said: “It's all over. Now you can start living.” And suddenly the craving to drink was taken from me.When asked later about that voice, Hopkins simply said, “It came from deep inside, and I don't have any other theories except divinity — what I call God.”Like a thief in the night, God broke into Anthony Hopkins' life when he least expected it and took from him a desire he couldn't take from himself. What a gift.And is that not a gift you want, maybe even one you desperately need? Wouldn't it be great for Jesus the holy thief to break into your life and take what you've never been able to let go of yourself? Not your Christmas presents, but the things that truly rob you: an addiction you can't shake, the fear that grips you, the worry that wakes you at night.What if Jesus stole away your self-doubt? Or absconded with your love of money and stuff? Or slipped off into the night with your anxiety, your despair, your perfectionism?We make all these lists of things we want, and buy presents for each other thinking they'll finally help us “start living.” If only we had the right clothes, the new bag, the latest tech — then we'd feel whole. But not one thing under the tree can actually do that.Yet if Jesus takes even one of those burdens from us? Then we might sound a lot like Anthony Hopkins: Now I can start living.This may sound like a new way of talking about what Jesus does for us, but it really isn't. His entire life is an in-breaking into our world in ways no one expected: a poor peasant baby born in Palestine. And through his death and resurrection, he took from us what we could never take from ourselves, our sin, our shame, our separation, so that we could start living, here and now. It is a beautiful exchange. Another Lutheran pastor once suggested that instead of making Christmas lists, we should make Advent lists, writing down the things we want Jesus the holy thief to take from our lives. Because the Gospel today tells us that Christ will come again. And if it's anything like the last time, he'll take away what we cannot remove on our own.So what are you holding on to? Or maybe, what's holding on to you, keeping you from living the life God wants for you?Our culture loves to tell the lie that following Christ will give us more blessings, more stuff, more comfort. But the truth is often the opposite. Throughout the Gospels, he breaks into the lives of his disciples and takes things from them: safety, certainty, old identities, fears that defined them. And sometimes that taking is the very best gift.In the welcome area, you'll find small sheets of paper titled Advent Lists. As you leave today — before you go back to checking off the gifts you'll give — take a moment to write down the things you want Jesus to take from you this season. And as you write, consider this:Are there things you can help lift from the lives of those around you: guilt, shame, pressure, loneliness? When we ease those burdens for one another, we share in Christ's liberating work. We help grace break-in to our lives so that we might live fully here and now.Maybe the next time someone asks you, “What's on your list?”you'll have a different answer.Amen.

Noirvember closes with James B. Harris's Cop (1988)—the first time James Ellroy's feverish fiction hit the big screen. Mike teams with Andrew Nette and Rod Lott for a deep read of Harris's adaptation, where James Woods's unhinged Detective Lloyd Hopkins hunts a killer across eighteen years of buried violence.The trio digs into Ellroy's original novel Blood on the Moon and the wilder, abandoned incarnation that came before it—L.A. Death Trip, the unsold, manuscript that first birthed Hopkins. Using material from Ellroy's own accounts and critical studies (including the brute-force early drafts, the rewrites demanded by Otto Penzler and Nat Sobel, and the shift to publishable structure), the conversation maps how a doomed finale turned into a tight serial-killer pursuit.The episode also features a new interview with James B. Harris, who breaks down the challenges of translating Ellroy's structure, keeping Hopkins's mania intact, and staying faithful to the narrative rhythms of the novel. What emerges is a portrait of a filmmaker wrestling with source material born in chaos—reforged into the dark, abrasive thriller that helped spark decades of Ellroy adaptations.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth-podcast--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth

Two professional women's volleyball leagues recently announced they are coming to Minnesota. Major League Volleyball and League One Volleyball will launch teams in 2027. But it won't be the first time Minnesota has had a professional women's volleyball team. In 1987, a brand-new professional women's volleyball league brought the Minnesota Monarchs to the state. The league fell apart halfway through the season in 1989 due to financial problems. But while it lasted, the Monarchs had a steady fanbase. Former Monarch Annie Adamczak-Glavan is a coach and director of Club 43, a youth volleyball club based in Hopkins. She joined MPR News host Chris Farrell to share more about the Monarchs and what she thinks about the new leagues.

There Will Be Blood (2007) influence [43:14] Alan Hopkins chose There Will Be Blood but what he means is the year 2007, the first year he went to film school.
