Claire Stapleton spent twelve years at Google, helping shape the voice and culture of a company that once promised to change the world. But over time, she began to question the widening gap between Google's ideals and its reality.In 2018, Stapleton helped organize the landmark Google Walkout, when 20,000 employees protested the company's handling of sexual harassment.Now a writer, communications consultant, and tech labor activist, Stapleton tells that story in 'Don't Be Evil: Bad Bosses, Fake Promises, and My Escape from Big Tech.' It is a memoir about corporate power, workplace identity, disillusionment, and what happens when a true believer decides to walk away.

The socioeconomic truth of a high fantasy realm uncovers alot of uncomfortable moments. Most forward momentum of society is based off the backs of the lower classes and stagnant in its opprotunity. While the highest of culture seems to have gained class and power from a series of agreeable deals created in a system the majority will never have access to.   Luckily for you and for us, we are a mid fantasy culture scenerio. Our heroes are more familiar with a right cross and a haymaker than a holy cross and a boilermaker.  Bounties are being obtained, mainly to gain fame at a fighting pit for a barbarian with a one track mind. Violence begets violence as warlocks and ratmen are squaring off against our Elf heavy heroes in episode 4 of Dungeonetics.   Thanks again for the interest. This is as crunchy as we can make it and hopefully you are enjoying it as much as we are enjoying unraveling the story, Our campaign was designed by Jon Francia and hosted by the lovely folk at the Geekonomics Podcast Network.

July 4th has come and gone, but Delaware's celebration of the nation's 250th anniversary continues. One of those celebrations is a new exhibition by the Delaware Historical Society, which pairs objects from the society's collection with student artists to ask - 250 years after the Declaration of Independence, are we living up to its promise?For this edition of Arts Playlist, Delaware Public Media's Martin Matheny spoke to Chief Curator Leigh Rifenburg about the show entitled “Objects, Ideals, & Delaware's Unfinished Revolution.”

When Values Meet Reality: Navigating the Gap Between Ideals and Practice to find your way to ImpactWe often join organizations, clubs, workplaces, and communities because we are inspired by their mission, vision, and values. Yet sooner or later, we discover a gap between the ideals they aspire to and the reality we experience.How should we respond when that happens?In this video, we explore why this gap exists, how to distinguish between imperfection and misalignment, and why extending grace can be an important part of participating in any human system. Rather than viewing the gap between values and reality as a reason to disengage, we consider how it can become an opportunity to contribute, influence, and create meaningful impact.If you've ever found yourself disappointed by an organization, community, workplace, or cause you deeply believed in, this conversation is for you.#missionimpossible #values #ideals #alignment #purpose

The acquisition of stuff at the cost of others seems to be one of the most time honored traditions. Ever since the concept and practice of aggression,  there have always been a creative subclass willing to profit on the amount needed for hire. In this canvas we have picked up the story of a young elf heavy adventuring party seeking mixed veiled goals. Who is the hero and whom is just seeking the coin to lift themselves out of a previous life. Listen in to episode 3 of Dungeonetics to escape away.   Again, thank you for listening to even reading. It truly is a plot developed in real time. The agency of the players is genuine and the script is non existent.  The whims and direction may change based on key moments meant to be obfuscated by the few. Much like real life.   Thank you again to Kellen, Games Brown, Virus of Ideals, Freesound.org, and the concept of play. Be it physical or mental, keep flexing the places only you can go.

An Instagram video by British-Australian actress Rachel Ward has sparked a debate worldwide about beauty ideals, images of age and social pressure on women.

Yoga also describes how you usually use your mind, as well as a greater possibility.  But yoga is the only one of all these traditions, that I have found, that says your Essence is Divine.  How will you know if this is true?  You will have to delve deeper within to see who you find in there, oh Shiva.  You may go beyond who you think you are. This is why we meditate.  — Gurudevi Nirmalananda   Watch Gurudevi's full discourse “Ideals to Live By" here: https://gurudevi.vhx.tv/products/ideals-to-live-by-7-5-26   #yogamysticism #gurudevi #svaroopameditation #spirituality #divine #yoga #siddhayoga #muktananda #gurudevinirmalananda #meditation #blissyoga #svaroopayoga #swaminirmalananda

On this Independence Day. Pastor Hannah reminds us that while the Kingdom of God was expected to arrive with strength and power, God's way is the way of peace and unity. In the same way. America was founded on the ideals of peace, liberty and justice. Like all things created by humans, we struggle to live up to those ideals, but we can still celebrate what we aspire to.

Welcome listener to the newest and book in the Dungeonetics collection. In this season we make a thematic return to the season and lands that started it all.   Glasfiel isn't unlike any high fantasy kingdom, faced with its problems for survival all while worrying about some concern on the edge of the protected lands. Heroes rise and some fall seeking the glory and story. With time those stories become larger than the actual reality of the events, or the opposite happens. The stories of Kazaa Kingsley, Lord Albert Shaw, and Marc Ezio Torre became interlocked in the deep survival tapestry of Glasfiel. The only thing to erase a memory, and a history, would have to be an event so cataclysmic it would reallign the construct everyone believed in...   Now with the passing of time we revisit Glasfiel, after a reshaking of the system, which heroes will rise this time. Welcome to Dungeonetics.   On an editors note I am truly happy to continue the light escapism and poignant acts of defiance that I self identify this cast to be. It is shouting truth to power on a budget in light of a sun that wakes me each glorious day. I refuse to stay quiet and I refuse to feel helpless. Art for the sake of art is a self expression you cant bomb out of existence. To the fighters, I say power to all. Now for the attribution. Thank you again to Virus of Ideals, Kellen, Games Brown, Free sound.org, Jon Francia, all the players this season who hopefully will self identify, and to all their unique support structures that lay behind them so grown creatives can play with plastic orbs on vinyl mats.   It matters.   Thank you again to The Geekonomics Podcast Network.

Liberals like AOC are saying the quiet part out loud now: They want to use force and the strong arm of government to force their ideals on everyone. And it appears they don't mind bloodshed to do it.

In a culture that constantly bombards us with unrealistic ideals—perfect marriages, flawless friendships, effortless success, and picture-perfect lifestyles—many Christians find themselves exhausted by unattainable expectations.  Misplaced expectations can steal our joy, but biblical contentment and gratitude can restore it. Join Josh as he gives a talk from his upcoming book, Elusive Expectations: Living Free from the Tyranny of Unattainable Ideals.

Casimir Pulaski gave his life for American liberty, and his story reveals the true cost of independence. In this episode of the America's Founding Series, Professor Nick Giordano explores the remarkable life of Casimir Pulaski, a Polish nobleman and "Father of the American Cavalry" who crossed an ocean to fight for a country that was not his own. From his daring charge that saved George Washington at Brandywine to his ultimate sacrifice at the Siege of Savannah, Pulaski's journey reminds us that America was founded not on bloodlines, but on an idea. Discover why an exile with no home became one of the Revolution's most vital leaders, and why his story is a haunting warning to an era that often takes its inherited freedoms for granted. What You'll Learn: The Making of a Soldier: How Pulaski's struggle against Russian tyranny in Poland prepared him for the American Revolution. Saving Washington: The tactical brilliance that prevented a catastrophe at the Battle of Brandywine. Building the Cavalry: Why Pulaski's Legion was the precursor to modern special forces. The Ultimate Sacrifice: A breakdown of the fatal charge at Savannah and what it means to die for a principle.

And in that tension lies both the challenge and the promise of the era we are living through...

George Wright III explains the power of “dream building” as the starting point of all success, arguing that success is the progressive realization of a worthwhile dream and that the vividness and clarity of a dream determine motivation, faith, and belief. Referencing James Allen's As a Man Thinketh (chapter six, “Visions and Ideals”), he emphasizes that people become what they think about and that “dream lofty dreams” because every achievement begins as a dream. He shares a personal story of becoming a young husband and father of twins at 17 and relying on his vision to push through financial struggle. Wright teaches that successful people don't ask for smaller problems; they build bigger dreams, citing Dexter Yager's line, “If the dream's big enough, the facts don't count.” He recommends purposeful, scheduled daily visualization, getting interactive with dreams, and placing dream reminders everywhere.01:14 Lessons From As A Man Thinketh02:51 Dreams As Fuel04:06 Bigger Dreams Beat Obstacles05:27 What Dream Building Means05:54 Make It A Daily Ritual07:17 Get Interactive With Dreams07:47 Put Reminders Everywhere08:17 Final Quote And ChallengeThanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

Prince Hall believed in the American Revolution so deeply that he refused to let it fail. While Boston echoed with talk of liberty, he forced the new nation to confront its contradiction: slavery. This episode tells the story of Prince Hall, the Black patriot who used lawful civic action, Enlightenment philosophy, and institutional leadership to help end slavery in Massachusetts in 1783, years before the U.S. Constitution was ratified. His strategy was not chaos or rejection of the system. It was engagement, petition, and moral accountability. At a time when many would have turned away from the American experiment, Prince Hall invested in it and demanded it live up to its founding ideals. What You'll Learn How Prince Hall used the language of natural rights to challenge slavery in Massachusetts Why Black participation in the American Revolution created political leverage The role of the 1777 petition and the Massachusetts Constitution in ending slavery in 1783 How John Adams' "all men are born free and equal" became legally enforceable Why civic virtue, lawful engagement, and institutional pressure define true self-government Prince Hall did not burn down the American system. He held it accountable. His life demonstrates how self-government works when citizens understand both their rights and their responsibilities. For anyone who cares about the American founding, abolition, constitutional principles, and the meaning of liberty, this is a story that cannot be ignored.

Samantha Hancox-Li joins The Great Battlefield podcast to talk about hosting the Neon Liberalism podcast and being a writer and editor at Liberal Currents, where they publish writers who promote pluralistic democracy over authoritarianism.

The New England Patriots' Super Bowl defeat was a disappointment for fans, but the team's return to the national stage also served as a reminder of the role the Greater Boston Area played in the country's founding. Judy Woodruff explores that history, as well as some recent turmoil, to ask what it tells us about the country today. It's part of her series, America at a Crossroads.
