What happens when a children's book is written for adults who know better? Filmmaker and author Cevin Soling joins Alex to talk about his brilliantly twisted storybooks that hide sharp social commentary behind bright illustrations and dark comedy.His Rumpelville Chronicles wrap heavy themes in playful visuals, inviting adults to laugh, cringe, and think at the same time. Soling's been poking at cultural absurdities since childhood, and his books pull no punches:• “The Jolly Elf” skewers bureaucracy through a murderous elf and a town more interested in TV rights than survival.• “The Bomb That Followed Me Home” turns a walking bomb into a cuddly pet, highlighting how normalized violence has become.Influenced by James Thurber and Tom Lehrer, Soling blends humor and critique with a light touch, creating stories that feel whimsical on the surface and subversive underneath.Soling has written about outsiders, power, education, and cultural blind spots for years through books like “The Student Resistance Series,” “The People Who Fell,” and his satirical, surreal fiction that pokes holes in our neat little myths about society. So it tracks that when an esteemed anthropologist labeled a long-unseen tribe as “despicable,” Cevin didn't buy it. He packed up, headed out, and tried to see the truth for himself.Enjoy this fast, funny conversation about why absurdity makes the best mirror.

The focus shifts to Mao Zedong and Chinese communism, which was highly influenced by sharp anti-imperialism and xenophobia, blending the Marxist binary struggle with resentment of foreign exploitation. After Stalin's death, Mao began to "experiment," resulting in the Great Leap Forward, which aimed to rapidly "catch up and surpass the West" by radically overturning agriculture and simultaneously industrializing. This chaotic effort, including the collectivization of agriculture and communal organization, led to a vast famine that caused the deaths of tens of millions of people.
Pre-WWII US exercises, influenced by Patton and his peers, successfully showcased armored warfare. Patton was eccentric, boring audiences with detailed lectures on Roman generals and claiming to be the reincarnation of Napoleon, which disconnected him from his troops. Montgomery, leading the Third Division, trained his men endlessly and formed a cohesive team before the Dunkirk evacuation, seeing the retreat as a challenge to rebuild. Rommel was given command of the 7th Panzer Division in 1940 and, due to his aggressive success, became known as the commander of the "phantom division," celebrated by Nazi propaganda.

In this episode, we take a careful and honest look at how the modern concept of “race” has shaped—and often distorted—our understanding of Scripture, history, and identity. The idea of race is a human-made construct, rooted in hierarchy and social division, not something created by Yahuah. Scripture identifies people by covenant, tribe, and nation—not skin tone. Yet the enemy has used skin color to divide the body and cloud our understanding of the natural branches of Israel. In this study, we revisit what Scripture actually says, explore the history that shaped today's worldview, and address the blind spots that influence how many of us were taught to read the Bible.We also talk about melanin, historical context, and why the Israelites of Scripture were a deeply melanated people, along with Egyptians, Cushites, and other neighboring nations. But while skin color provides historical context, it is not the sole determining factor of lineage. Instead, Scripture tells us that the curses of Deuteronomy 28 would be a sign—an outward marker tied to lived experiences. This episode unpacks how shared history, oppression, displacement, and prophecy play a far more important role in identifying the natural branches than appearance alone.Ultimately, this message is anchored in compassion, reconciliation, and covenant. Whether natural or wild branches, we are called to abide in the True Vine, Yahusha. This conversation is not about exclusion but about truth, healing, and restoring the context that helps us honor both Scripture and the people of Jacob. My prayer is that this study brings clarity, humility, and unity as we continue seeking Yahuah with sincerity and love.This episode is also available on YouTube and Rumble:Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ThePromisePerspective Subscribe on Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/the_promise_perspectiveContact me: stephanie@promise-perspective.comVisit my website: www.promise-perspective.com Support the show

Episode 79 of She Said It First, is the perfect mix of chaos, cackles, and conviction. Jerrilyn Lake (aka Indeskribeabull) and Lynee’ Monae open with What Irritated Me the Most This Week, where they go in on liars, cheaters, and people with no backbone, pretty much the unholy trinity of modern dating. Between calling out men who “double down on dumb” and dragging folks who are too available, the ladies make one thing clear: if you’ve got that much free time, you’re not a friend, you’re an assistant. In Girl, What Happened, the hosts take a wild turn to discuss China’s new influencer laws, which require creators to have verified degrees in medicine, finance, or education before sharing certain content. Instead of condemning it outright, they hilariously admit that maybe—just maybe—a little regulation wouldn’t hurt America’s timeline either. After all, not everyone with Wi-Fi needs a microphone. The bit quickly derails into talk of wig tutorials, mukbang degrees, and the possibility of Jerrilyn launching her own “China-approved” weave line, proving once again that no topic is too serious for their signature spin. Jerrilyn and Lynee continued the conversation with Paul Pierce’s claim that “you have to cheat to know if she loves you.” The ladies roast Pierce but praised N.O.R.E. for being one of the few men with common sense left. During Girl Talk, Lynee and Jerrilyn discuss when a prank can go wrong. They spoke about a couple who were pranked in a store and the man did no come to the aide of his woman. From there, they flow into dating safety, Christmas budgeting, and why self-control is the real luxury gift this year. Equal parts petty and profound, this episode reminds listeners that boundaries, balance, and a good laugh might be the only things keeping us all from losing it online—and that sometimes, a little censorship wouldn’t be the worst thing.

Artspeak Radio, Wednesday, November 19, 2025, 9am -10am CST, 90.1fm KKFI Kansas City Community Radio, streaming live audio www.kkfi.org Producer/host Maria Vasquez Boyd welcomes artists KE Griffin, Anna Marten, DeAnna Skedel, and gallerist/curator Lee Smalter. KAREN E. GRIFFIN (KE) Kansas City native is an award-winning visual, teaching, and performing artist creates vibrant abstract works explore themes of identity and urban landscapes. Influenced by her mother's entrepreneurial spirit and formative experiences with her seventh-grade art teacher, art classes the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Kansas City and Hallmark Cards Inc. Griffin's art reflects a unique perspective shaped by her Kansas City, Missouri and Marlin, Texas roots. She is a Certified National and International Storyteller due to life encounters regarding her grandmother picking cotton and her mother measuring cotton in the garment district in Kansas City. Karen E. Griffins artistic contributions to the Kansas City area have earned her significant recognition, including being named the Missouri Arts Council Honoree 2025 Individual Artist presenting the State of Missouri and the City of Kansas City. The Jackson County, Missouri, Office of the County Legislature further honored her with Proclamation Resolution NO. 21819. Artist-in-Residence, Englewood Arts Center 2023- 2025, Independence, Missouri. Her educational and historical collections, exhibited across the metro area and other states, were highlighted in the Examiner, Wichita, Kansas The Shout, Kansas City Studio Magazine, The Call Paper and The Kansas Ci Globe. In addition to her art, Griffin dedicates time to reading, enjoying conversations with her grandchildren, and supporting the homeless community. Karen E. Griffin (KE) creates striking two-dimensional portraits that aim to empower viewers to embrace their unique identities as well as African based abstractions depicting cultural and community narratives. She fuses high fashion with vibrant storytelling of African American heritage. Inspired by her connection to the diaspora, Karen uses African prints to meticulously render each image, capturing the intricate details of the fabric and the bold energy of the patterns. Her work celebrates the the rich tapestry of African American culture through the exploration of prints, patterns, and symbols. By incorporating these elements, she aims to create pieces that resonate deeply with the African American community and offer a connection to our ancestral heritage. “While we may never fully comprehend the lives of our ancestors, we carry their legacy within us through art, fashion, music and storytelling.” Her art serves as a visual expression of this enduring connection.

The professional setting introduced me to a wide range of technical skills, from hand-lettering to woodworking, but it was also a world that penalized asking too many questions. My professional practice now reacquaints myself with permission to generate inquiry rather than sell something. As an avid daydreamer, my work tends to examine the boundary between memory, fantasy, and reality. I've been described as a “playful” creator, but we all learn early in life that play is the only way to grow. Are we not playing our way through new experiences even in adulthood? I want to reconcile fantasy with everyday. I want to remind adults that we're in charge of allowing ourselves surprise and delight.

Never imposing ourselves upon an artist's creative vision, we will act as a safe and ever-present foundation upon which artists of all backgrounds can evolve and thrive. Simply put: The Smalter Gallery nurtures creativity and trusts artists. The Smalter Gallery 1802 W. 39th St., 816-200-2554, smalterart.com Currently on exhibit; Vespera - A Solo Exhibition by Brittany Noriega The Smalter Gallery is located at 1802 West 39th Street Kansas City, MO, 64111. From the artist: Vespera means “evening star” or “of the evening.” It is a threshold; when day exhales into night, shadows stretch long, and the air grows heavy with quiet. Resilience here isn't loud; it is patient, watchful, and steady. For the past two years I've been studying thresholds, in my artwork, in my research, and my own life. What does it mean to step into darkness prepared instead of afraid? The drawings that emerged became guardians: figures that endure, quietly holding space. We all pass through seasons of transition, grief, and change. These moments aren't ornamental; they are essential. Vespera reminds us that resilience often hums low in the marrow, where endings fold into beginnings, asking us simply to notice, to wait, to watch. The opening reception, including an opportunity to meet the artist, will be held at Smalter Gallery on November 7th from 5pm - 8pm. Lee Smalter, who grew up in Connecticut, felt compelled to own and operate an art gallery. She answered an advertisement for a space in Kansas City's West 39th Street neighborhood next to Prospero's Books. Extensive renovation in 2018-2019 led to the gallery's debut before the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite citywide uncertainty and isolation at the time, the public embraced Smalter's gallery, situated in the dense residential and small business community. Since inception, the gallery has served as a space dedicated to displaying work by emerging and established artists. By design, Smalter established a space that's non-elitist and inviting for both artists and the public, especially passersby who may not be avid arts patrons.

Joel Finkelstein discusses how the New York election of socialist Zohran Mamdani was influenced by "subnationalism," where foreign nations subvert democracy. Organizations associated with Islamist Maoist ideals and CCP assets (like Neville Roy Singham, who bankrolled a campaign hub) were central to mobilizing votes. On social media, especially Instagram and TikTok, content favorable to Mamdani was given "engineered virality," with over 50% of viral engagement coming from non-American users, suggesting organized foreign intercession. 1931
Anky Cyriaque, a filmmaker originally from Haiti who grew up in New York, brings a unique perspective to the cinema industry, deeply rooted in his belief that storytelling reigns supreme. Influenced by early childhood experiences with American TV shows like Sesame Street, Cyriaque emphasizes that "story is king," a philosophy he upholds in his directorial pursuits. He expresses concern over the cinema industry's current trajectory, where financial considerations often overshadow the narrative, diminishing the traditional theatrical experience and leading to what he views as a decline in storytelling quality. Cyriaque also critiques the rapid shift from theatrical releases to video on demand, arguing that this quick transition erodes the value of the cinematic experience, urging a return to prioritizing engaging narratives that captivate audiences.(00:02:45) Short Films: Directors' Personal Storytelling Investments(00:05:57) Film Influence on Career Paths(00:10:23) "Showcasing Director's Storytelling Skills Through Shorts"(00:19:11) Streaming Services' Influence on Independent Filmmakers' Visibility(00:29:34) Dynamic Landscape of Modern Visual Narratives(00:34:52) Media Consumption Shift: Streaming vs. Physical Ownership(00:44:02) Influencer-Driven Marketing in Movie Promotion(00:47:01) Evolution of Independent Film Distribution Strategies(00:52:19) Spielberg's Influence on Film Appreciationhttps://www.imdb.com/name/nm3977697/
Generations born into technology -- so-called "digital natives" -- have grown up with a world view shaped by digital interaction. They're considering how it has shaped their lives in a student-led forum at Southern Illinois University Carbondale tonight. Franklin Kimmell, a fourth year doctoral student and Assistant Introductory Course Coordinator for the school of communication studies is organizing the discussion.
It may hurt but it's true! There are millions of ignorant people in this world who are ignorant of free will. I mean willfully ignorant people are the ones who choose to stay ignorant when there's millions of resources to learn and educate yourself. Instead of being educated people live a life of parroting and regurgitating what they've heard even when it's untrue! That mindset keeps people mentally enslaved. If you choose to remain ignorant you can't grow, won't grow, and you'll be easily fooled into believing a lie! Not only that, willfully ignorant people are also immature and because of it will make choices and decisions against their best interest. Change starts with you, the mindset is everything!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/relationships-and-relatable-life-chronicles--4126439/support.

Today's guest is Tina Jacobson, a lifelong artist and spiritual explorer from Australia whose creative journey weaves art, intuition, and healing. Raised on an animal-filled farm by creative parents, Tina has spent her life immersed in design, murals, and illustration. Her coloring books, including The Colorful Life Colouring Book, invite readers to reconnect with creativity as a gentle, spiritual practice rather than a task to complete.Through years of self-discovery, Tina learned that healing begins by watching the mind. Once trapped in cycles of self-criticism and dark thoughts, she discovered that thoughts aren't truth—they're passing waves. Influenced by teachers like Michael Singer and Byron Katie, Tina began observing her thoughts instead of believing them, noticing how they affected her body. She reminds us, if you can bring that fear back to your body and feel at ease, you can't change anything—but when you're in your body, you're closer to your intuition, and it will give you ideas on what to do.

Questions about whether or not it's reasonable to worry that some of our current doctrines were influenced by the fallen nature of the apostles, and how to defend sola Scriptura to Roman Catholics who argue that oral tradition carries as much weight as Scripture. How much of the apostles' fallen nature influenced their choice of words and how they communicated? Is it reasonable to worry that some of our current doctrines came from their just getting annoyed or impatient with someone and wording something too harshly? How do I defend sola Scriptura to my Roman Catholic family members in light of passages like 1 Thessalonians 2:13 and 2 Thessalonians 2:15, which seem to imply that oral tradition carries as much weight as Scripture?
Some key understandings in Crazy Town: the Earth is finite; the economy cannot grow forever; people can harm ecosystems and cause global warming; physics, chemistry, and biology are real; inequality hurts everyone; healthy humans need community, and it's more fun to laugh than to cry. But where did principles like these originate? In this episode, Jason, Asher, and Rob use the format of a fantasy football draft to pick the pundits who most influenced their thinking on sustainability, resilience, community, science, economics, and politics. Like starry-eyed fanboys (but hopefully a bit more articulate) they gush over their heroes and tell behind-the-scenes stories about how they came to be influenced. And they ask listeners to share their top picks for influencers (in the best sense of the term). Originally recorded on 9/29/25. Visit Crazy Town on the web.
Berated by the tabloids as exhibitionist pornography, Madonna's coffee table book, ‘Sex', quickly sold out upon its release on 21st October, 1992. Influenced by artists Robert Mapplethorpe and Cindy Sherman, the book included images of full-frontal nudity, simulated gay sex, mixed race couples, threesomes and trans imagery. Madonna vigorously defended it, in a series of interviews, as a portrayal of female sexuality. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly ask if Madonna was fighting an uphill battle to be taken seriously; debate whether the book was art, a smutty publicity stunt… or both; and consider whether a particularly sensational spread involving a canine companion was taken out of context...

"I think a lot of what I'm doing has been influenced greatly by Rajiv ji's work. I think many youngsters have just found the confidence to even go out and present their work, talk about it amongst the public because of the initiatives which Infinity Foundation has taken. So one thing which I learned from Rajiv ji's work and his talks and everything is that he never compromises on the quality or the data or the research. I can't stress enough the influence 'Being Different' has had on me and whenever anyone asks me today or even then about one book which everyone must read, every Hindu, every Bharatiya must read, I tell them 'Being Different.' It has been a game-changer." — Ami Ganatra, AuthorWho Is Raising Your Children? - https://whoisraisingyourchildren.com/Battle For Consciousness Theory - http://battleforconsciousnesstheory.comSnakes in the Ganga - http://www.snakesintheganga.comVarna Jati Caste - http://www.varnajaticaste.comThe Battle For IIT's - http://www.battleforiits.comPower of future Machines - http://www.poweroffuturemachines.com10 heads of Ravana - http://www.tenheadsofravana.comTo support Infinity Foundation's projects including the continuation of such episodes and the research we do:इनफिनिटी फ़ौंडेशन की परियोजनाओं को अनुदान देने के लिए व इस प्रकार के एपिसोड और हमारे द्वारा किये जाने वाले शोध को जारी रखने के लिए: http://infinityfoundation.com/donate-2/

Preview: General Blaine Holt (United States Air Force retired) discusses a cultural shift away from the warrior ethos in the US military, influenced by new directions at the Pentagon.

"When you stand on what matters, everything is going to fall into place for you." Anthony Ramos One's journey is never a straight line and often the path we think we are destined for is paved with lots of ups and downs that lead us to where we belong. In this pivotal conversation, Ryan, Channing, and Fred sit down with multi‑talented actor, singer, and storyteller Anthony Ramos, to explore the twists, turns, and lessons that have shaped his journey. From humble beginnings of the New York streets to Broadway stages, from major film sets to music studios, Anthony shares how he's navigated shifting expectations, risk, and growth — all while staying rooted in identity and purpose. He shares the impact that starring in Hamilton had on his life, the wisdom from Busta Rhymes, the excitement of Spike Lee, being on set with Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga, his most transformative role as well as his most challenging and gives a sneak peek at some big projects in the works. It's a reflective and honest conversation on the little moments and decisions that led him to chase his dream down an unlikely path overcoming poverty, sharing how the streets taught him to act and maneuver the challenges of a rough upbringing and why pursuing a passion is often out of reach for people like him. He talks to Ryan about dealing with race and cultural barriers, staying authentically himself while balancing Hollywood pressures, choosing to be on the right side of his beliefs, betting on himself and taking risks to chase the big roles. He talks to Channing how he mended the relationship with his father before he passed and explains to Fred saying no is hard but being loyal to his roots matters the most, which he explains turning down the chance to work with J.Lo. The guys get into what “pivoting” really means when your life is already in motion as this episode goes beyond the highlight reel to dig into the grind, the doubts, and the quiet breakthroughs. Whether you're in creative fields or facing your own pivot point, Anthony's transparency and mindset offer resonance and inspiration.
