1. ICE Incident & Media Narrative A story circulated claiming ICE detained a 5‑year‑old child; the document states this was false. ICE was arresting the father, who allegedly fled and abandoned the child. The mother reportedly refused to take the child back. The argument: media outlets amplified a misleading narrative to evoke emotional reaction and sway suburban voters. 2. Narrative of Political Motivation Democrats and major media are using immigration stories to fuel a political campaign against ICE. John Kasich and others are highlighted as contributing to public perception around ICE enforcement. 3. Government Shutdown Predictions A 100% chance of a government shutdown tied to DHS and ICE funding. Chuck Schumer and other Democratic leaders are quoted as refusing to fund DHS without major ICE restrictions. A distinction is made: many agencies are already funded, so the shutdown would be more limited than the previous historical shutdown. 4. “Abolish ICE” Positioning Democrats are unified in refusing to fund ICE or DHS, framing it as similar to “abolish ICE / abolish police” rhetoric. Democrats want a prolonged and painful shutdown to signal to their base that they are fighting against ICE. 5. Trump Accounts (Economic Policy Section) Benefits include: Could lead to significant wealth accumulation due to compound growth (e.g., $300k by 18; $1M+ by 28 with max contributions). Intended to help children in poverty or lower‑income households build long‑term wealth. Employer and charitable contributions (e.g., Michael & Susan Dell, Brad Gerstner) will accelerate scale and impact. Compared in transformative potential to the creation of 401(k) plans. 6. Minneapolis Shooting & Media Coverage Media portrayed the man shot by ICE as a peaceful ICU nurse, omitting earlier confrontational behavior. Video evidence reported by BBC showed the man spitting at, confronting, and kicking an ICE vehicle days before the shooting. Media intentionally shaped the story to portray ICE as murderers. 7. MSNBC AI Image Controversy MSNBC used an AI‑enhanced image to make the man appear more attractive, which the document calls political propaganda. Commentary from Joe Rogan criticizing the altered image. MSNBC admitted to using an AI‑generated thumbnail but did not apologize or fire anyone. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Gammer Gurton’s Garland, published in 1784, is one of the earliest collections of English nursery rhymes, and contains verses both familiar and alarmingly unsettling. Intended to be read to toddlers (i.e., “children who can neither read nor run,” according to its subtitle) and named after a fictitious Grandma (“Gammer”) Gurton, who'd be analogous to Mother Goose, the volume were assembled by the eccentric scholar Joseph Ritson, who was known for his collecting of Robin Hood ballads, vegetarianism and ultimate descent into madness. Portrait of Joseph Ritson by James Sayers, early 1800s. We begin our episode with a snippet of a 1940s' rendition of “Froggy Went a-Courting” by cowboy singer Tex Ritter. It's a relatively modern take on Ritson's “The Frog and the Mouse.” But like quite a few rhymes in the collection, this one had appeared in print earlier. Already in 1611, British composer of rounds and collector of ballads, Thomas Ravenscroft, had written out both lyrics and musical notation for “The Marriage of the Frogge and the Mouse,” a song he described as a folk song or “country pastime.” While a few other rhymes in Ritson's collection were borrowed from one of two earlier editions of nursery verses (both published as Tommy Thumb’s Song Book 40 years earlier), most of what he collected appeared for tge first time in Gammer Gurton’s. We hear a bit about some of the familiar rhymes that premiered in this collection, including Goosey, Goosey Gander, Ride a Cock-Horse to Banbury Cross (with the “rings on her fingers and bells on her toes” lady), Bye, Baby Bunting, and There Was an Old Woman who Lived in a Shoe.” Ritson's version of the last, however, takes a rather rude and unexpected turn. 1865 edition of Gammer Gurton’s Many, if not most, of Ritson's rhymes seem to have been weeded out of the gentile or sentimental collections we know today. Naturally, we devote attention particularly to these objectionable verses. Included are a handful of aggressively nonsensical rhymes, which could pass for 18th-century Dada and verses notable for their cruelty. The most alarming contain brutal slurs, threats, and playful references to assault, adultery, matricide, suicide, and animals going to the gallows. The last third of our episode is dedicated to poems noteworthy for their survival as musical ballads. The first discussed is the basis for song “Lady Alice,” which later appears in James Child's 1860 collection The English and Scottish Popular Ballads. Ritson's version, “Giles Collins and Proud Lady Anna,” is a greatly simplified version of the ballad later cited by Child. While toddlers might appreciate the simpler storytelling, the subject matter — namely, doomed lovers — is not the normal stuff of healthy nursery rhymes. More surprising, is the fact that Ritson's story begins with Giles Collins in the process of dying and Lady Anna dead (of heartbreak) within a few verses. After their deaths, a tentative suggestion of undying love, a lily reaching from Giles' grave toward Anna's, is destroyed – an unhappy turn on the not uncommon motif of a rose and briar entwining over lovers' graves. We close with a discussion of “The Gay Lady who Went to Church,” an innocuous-sounding rhyme, intertwined with the history of two rather gruesome folk songs popular around Halloween: “There Was an Old Lady All Skin and Bones” and “The Hearse Song” AKA “The Worms Crawl In.” Also discussed is a surprising link between Ritson's nursery rhyme and a faux-historical ballad invented for the very first Gothic novel, Matthew Gregory Lewis' The Monk.

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/012926.cfmWhen Jesus speaks of a lamp placed on a stand, He reveals how God works in history. What God makes known is meant to give light, and what He reveals is never accidental or incomplete.Father Mark Baron, MIC, shows how the Gospel and the First Reading proclaim a single, unified plan of salvation. The promise given to King David of a kingdom without end was never about political survival or earthly dominance. Even when Israel's kingdoms fell, God's promise did not fail. It was fulfilled in a way far greater than David could have imagined.At the Annunciation, the eternal kingdom promised to David takes flesh in Christ. God does not establish a political empire; He establishes a spiritual kingdom meant to rule hearts. From Abraham to Moses, from David to Christ, God's covenants expand His family until all are invited in. Israel is not discarded or replaced, but fulfilled. The Church is the continuation and completion of God's plan — the universal family gathered under Christ the King.Father Mark also clarifies modern misunderstandings that divide salvation history or reduce God's kingdom to end-times speculation. Catholic teaching proclaims one continuous plan, guided by the Holy Spirit, entrusted to the Church, and ordered toward charity, justice, and conversion of heart.Christ already reigns — in the Eucharist, in the Sacraments, and in every heart willing to receive His grace.Watch the full homily on DivineMercyPlus.org, the no-cost, ad-free Catholic streaming platform with exclusive Catholic content. ★ Support this podcast ★

A failed 1864 Union raid led by Dahlgren intended to burn Richmond and kill Confederate leaders, prompting a Confederate Secret Service response involving political subversion. Meanwhile, author Herman Melville embedded with Union cavalry, writing poetry about the terror of facing Mosby's elusive rangers in the "shadows."1865 FIVE FORKS
Psalm 15:1-5, Genesis 49:1-50:26, Matthew 17:14-18:9. He suffers alongside you Yet he does not always simply remove suffering from your life; he sometimes uses the bad things that happen to bring about his good purposes
Psalm 15:1–5, Genesis 50:18–21, Matthew 17:14-23,18:1-5. He suffers alongside you Yet he does not always simply remove suffering from your life; he sometimes uses the bad things that happen to bring about his good purposes
Most leaders don't have a time problem. They have a decision making problem. We break down a self-first framework that turns chaos into clarity by separating planning, commitment, and execution into clean lanes—each with its own tool and purpose—so you can stop spinning and start finishing the work that matters.We begin with long-term planning across three human buckets: business and professional growth, personal growth, and meaningful connections. By writing goals down and scoring them on impact and effort, you'll surface quick wins and park the heavy lifts for later. Then we build momentum with a simple plank: sequence your top items, block time for each, and commit to starting in order. No perfection required, just deliberate starts that compound.Next, we clear space with the Firebox. Finish what's urgent and important, invest in the vital non-urgent pillars like sleep, exercise, and learning, reduce by optimizing or delegating tasks others can do, and extinguish the non-essential. We audit real life—calendar items plus unlisted chores—to see how overcommitted we are, then make bold cuts. The guiding question stays front and center: what am I optimizing for?Finally, we move to daily execution with a pre-built board that helps you focus on one day at a time, track distractions, and protect your best energy windows. We pair a planning canvas for ideas, a kanban board for commitments, and the calendar for execution, ensuring each thinking mode has its own home. Along the way, we share templates, simple tactics, and a path to accountability through a live workshop, support calls, and community.Ready to manage yourself, not time?

Guest: Professor Richard Carwardine. Carwardine discusses President James Buchanan's January 4, 1861, national fast day, intended to unite a fracturing nation through prayer and repentance. While old-school Presbyterians like Charles Hodge supported this call for divine intervention, the effort largely failed to forestall war. The event highlighted three distinct groups of religious nationalists: conservative Unionists, anti-slavery Republicans viewing slavery as a national sin, and pro-slavery theologians defending the institution on scriptural grounds.1855-65 HENRY WARD BEECHER
SHOW SCHEDULE1-19-20261914 FLAG DAY WITH WILSON, BRYAN, ROOSEVELT Guest: Professor Richard Carwardine. Carwardine discusses President James Buchanan's January 4, 1861, national fast day, intended to unite a fracturing nation through prayer and repentance. While old-school Presbyterians like Charles Hodge supported this call for divine intervention, the effort largely failed to forestall war. The event highlighted three distinct groups of religious nationalists: conservative Unionists, anti-slavery Republicans viewing slavery as a national sin, and pro-slavery theologians defending the institution on scriptural grounds. Guest: Professor Richard Carwardine. Carwardine explains that President-elect Lincoln did not view Republicans as overly aggressive, positioning himself as a constitution-respecting centrist rather than a radical. Lincoln opposed slavery's expansion but acknowledged its constitutional protection where it already existed, believing the South was misled by elites and would eventually return to the Union. Ironically, Lincoln and Buchanan, though political opposites, worshiped at the same Washington church, sharing an old-school Presbyterian background. Guest: Professor Richard Carwardine. In September 1861, Lincoln proclaimed a fast day, carefully avoiding specific references to slavery to maintain political unity. Carwardine details the conflict surrounding General Frémont's unauthorized emancipation order, which Lincoln revoked to prevent losing loyal border states like Kentucky. Consequently, anti-slavery nationalists used the pulpits to criticize Lincoln's caution, demanding the war become an explicit crusade against the "gigantic crime" of slavery rather than just a restoration of the Union. Guest: Professor Richard Carwardine. The discussion turns to Confederate Vice President Alexander Stephens' "Cornerstone Speech," which explicitly defined racial inequality as the Confederacy's foundation, a stance widely condemned in the North. Carwardine notes that despite earlier tensions, Lincoln viewed his fast days as successful, utilizing them and meetings with religious delegations to gauge public sentiment and prepare the ground for eventual emancipation. Lincoln valued these interactions to influence and learn from denominational leaders. Guest: Professor Richard Carwardine. Carwardine details the intense political opposition Lincoln faced in 1863 following the Emancipation Proclamation. He highlights Clement Vallandigham, a "Peace Democrat" leader who viewed the war as unwinnable and Lincoln as a "Puritan despot." Carwardine explains that the Democraticcoalition was fractured by religion, specifically between Catholics and Protestants, yet united in opposing the administration. Lincoln ultimately banished Vallandigham to the Confederacy to neutralize his influence. Guest: Professor Richard Carwardine. Carwardine discusses James McMaster, the Catholic editor of the Freeman's Journal, characterizing him as an extraordinary polemicist who was imprisoned for his "vituperations" against the war. McMaster argued the war denied the rights of free men and refused to retract his views upon release. The segment also features Samuel "Sunset" Cox, a Democrat who famously attacked New England Puritanism as the source of the nation's meddling and moral extremity. Guest: Professor Richard Carwardine. The discussion turns to the Union's "low point" in August 1864, where Lincoln expected to lose the election to Democrat George McClellan. Carwardine describes the Democraticcampaign as "brokenbacked" for pairing a general with a peace platform. However, the fall of Atlanta revived Union hopes. Carwardine emphasizes how pastors articulated a "higher cause"—the preservation of a unique republican government—to justify the war's terrible "bloodletting" and sacrifice. Guest: Professor Richard Carwardine. Carwardine analyzes the war's conclusion and Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address, which framed the conflict as divine judgment for the shared offense of slavery. He notes that Lincoln intended a Reconstruction based on charity and "absence of malice," rather than punishment. By 1865, Lincoln's views had evolved to support citizenship for African American veterans, though his assassination left the specific blueprint for the nation's reintegration unfinished and uncertain. Guest: Brenda Wineapple. In 1925, the Tennessee legislature passed the Butler Act, banning the teaching of evolution in public schools. At Robinson's drugstore in Dayton, local booster George Rapier and others recruited 24-year-old science teacher John Scopes to violate the law as a test case to generate publicity for the town. Although Scopes was knowingly guilty, the ACLU backed the defense to challenge the law's constitutionality regarding the separation of church and state. Guest: Brenda Wineapple. The ACLU, seeking to defend religious liberty and raise its profile, seized upon the Scopes case. While the board considered prestigious constitutional lawyers, the notorious Clarence Darrowvolunteered his services pro bono because he viewed the Butler Act as bigoted. Despite the ACLU's hesitation regarding Darrow's controversial reputation from the Leopold and Loeb trial, Scopes insisted on having the "street fighter" Darrow defend him against William Jennings Bryan. Guest: Brenda Wineapple. Clarence Darrow was a celebrated attorney known for his "downhome" jury appeals and defense of the marginalized. Mentored by progressive John Altgeld, Darrow built a reputation defending labor unions, socialists like Eugene Debs, and the poor against powerful corporations. However, his career suffered a "bad patch" following the McNamara brothers' bombing case in Los Angeles, where Darrow himself faced trials for allegedly bribing a juror, leaving him with a checkered reputation. Guest: Brenda Wineapple. Three-time presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan joined the prosecution to revive his political career and defend fundamentalism. Famous for his populist "Cross of Gold" speech, Bryan had become rigid in his views, advocating for prohibition and a literal reading of the Bible. He viewed the trial as a platform to combat the theory of evolution, which he believed deprived children of a moral center and denied the miracles of creation. Guest: Brenda Wineapple. Fundamentalist Judge John T. Raulston presided over the trial, enjoying the publicity brought by loudspeakers and radio coverage. The defense included civil liberties lawyer Arthur Garfield Hayes, a secular Jew, serving as a constitutional anchor. Meanwhile, William Jennings Bryan arrived as a celebrity in a pith helmet, though Scopes noted Bryan ignored his own diabetes by overeating at dinner, revealing a disconnect between his fundamentalist beliefs and medical science. Guest: Brenda Wineapple. The defense suffered a major setback when the judge ruled that their scientific experts could not testify before the jury, forcing them to read affidavits into the record instead. H.L. Mencken, the acerbic journalist who dubbed the event the "Monkey Trial," covered the proceedings. Sympathetic to Darrow and critical of Bryan's "fanatic" views, Mencken influenced public perception, though the jury remained shielded from the scientific evidence the defense hoped to present. Guest: Brenda Wineapple. During a stifling heatwave, the trial moved outdoors where Darrow executed a shocking maneuver by calling prosecutor William Jennings Bryan to the witness stand. Darrow interrogated Bryan on his literal interpretation of the Bible, questioning stories like Jonah and the whale. Bryan faltered, admitting creation "days" might be metaphorical periods, which undermined his fundamentalist position and allowed Darrow to humiliate him regarding his knowledge of history, geology, and world religions. Guest: Brenda Wineapple. The trial ended abruptly with a guilty verdict, denying Bryan his closing speech; he died days later, likely due to heat, stress, and diabetes. John Scopes eventually became a geologist and lived a reclusive life, refusing to exploit his fame. Darrow's later career fluctuated, including a controversial defense in the racially charged Massie trial in Hawaii, before his death in 1938, leaving behind a complex legacy beyond the "Inherit the Wind" narrative.

Don and Dude continue the “I Love the 80s” tour with a stop in 1982, a year when rock still ruled the charts even as the culture splintered into cable TV excess, recession anxiety, and neon‑lit moral ambiguity. One host brings a haunted, lo‑fi folk song cycle from Bruce Springsteen that strips away arena gloss to stare down American failure, while the other counters with Brian Eno's fog‑shrouded ambient landscapes, where memory, geography, and unease blur into one continuous sound world. Together, the records trace how 1982 stretched rock from bombastic stadium anthems to cassette‑recorded confessions and experimental soundscapes that felt more like places than songs.The AlbumsBrian Eno – Ambient 4: On Land (1982) A dark, place‑obsessed ambient record, Ambient 4: On Land finds Eno retreating from pop structures into immersive soundscapes built from drones, treated instruments, and environmental textures. Working largely alone with tape composting and field‑recording‑like sounds, he reconstructs half‑remembered English coastal and marshland environments so the listener feels inside foggy, unstable “memory spaces” rather than listening to background music. The album pushes ambient away from soothing wallpaper toward quietly unsettling figurative music that would shape film scores, dark ambient, and textural rock for decades.Bruce Springsteen – Nebraska (1982) Recorded at home on a four‑track cassette, Nebraska strips Springsteen down to voice, guitar, and harmonica for ten stark story‑songs about killers, drifters, laid‑off workers, and families coming apart on the American margins. Intended as demos for the E Street Band, the tapes were released essentially as‑is because their raw immediacy captured a moral and emotional weight the studio could not, turning lo‑fi hiss and dead room sound into part of the storytelling. Long viewed as one of his bravest works, the album reframes the early‑80s landscape as recession‑era noir, where debts “no honest man can pay” blur the line between crime, survival, and faith.Diggin' AlbumsAlter Bridge – Alter Bridge (2026) Hard‑rock veterans Alter Bridge deliver towering riffs and soaring melodies that refine the heavy, emotionally charged sound they have been sharpening for two decades.Toto – Toto IV (1982) Studio‑honed pop rock at its most polished, Toto IV marries big hooks and meticulous production on songs that helped define early‑80s radio sleekness.Butch Dains – “Amelia” (2025) Retro‑minded singer Butch Dains leans into gentle, 50s‑inspired pop that matches his “always clean never nasty or mean” ethosPeter Gabriel – “Been Undone” (o, Dark‑Side Mix) (2026) The lead track from Gabriel's forthcoming album o turns a mid‑90s idea into a quietly luminous meditation on all the ways a life can come apart, carried by subtle grooves and harmonium‑like warmth.Follow & SupportFollow the show on Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and Bluesky @albumnerds, and support by subscribing, rating, reviewing, and sharing."There is some Eighties music that is just timeless, and some that is so dated it's embarrassing.” - Grace Jones
Ever feel like your calendar is packed but your real life lives off to the side? We dig into a simple, no-fluff system to make every commitment visible, merge the hidden to-dos with the scheduled ones, and carve out protected time for sleep, movement, and deep work—without the guilt. The result isn't more hustle; it's a calmer, truer plan that helps us deliver for others while finally honoring the projects and habits that matter to us.We start with a quick refresher on guilt-free future planning: capture big goals, weigh them with a practical matrix, and set a clear order. Then we hit the wall most of us face—there's “no room” to schedule priorities because our calendars only show meetings while errands, caregiving, community roles, and recovery time sit invisible. That's where strategically selfish scheduling comes in. We do a one-week extraction of every commitment, including the off-calendar certainties like grocery runs, bedtime, workouts, and drive time. Seeing it all at once breaks the mental negotiation that keeps us stressed and behind.From there, we run a joy vs obligation scan to expose energy leaks and choose the right lever: eliminate what no longer serves, delegate to someone better suited, automate with tools or templates, or optimize through batching and tighter boundaries. We also make the case for a single master view—overlaying personal and work—so conflicts stop ambushing the day. Finally, we place self-first blocks on the calendar before meetings, naming them clearly and protecting transitions. It's not selfish to do this; it's the maintenance schedule for a life that actually works and a career that compounds.If this hits home, subscribe, share it with a friend who's stretched thin, and leave a quick review to help more people find the show.

Who was the Least Valuable Player (LVP) of the 2025 fantasy football season?On this episode of No Punt Intended, the Club Fantasy FFL crew breaks down the worst fantasy football picks of 2025, analyzing which players hurt fantasy managers the most when draft cost, injuries, and overall performance are taken into account.We dive deep into:
STARLINK: FUNDING THE FUTURE Colleague Eric Berger. To finance the immense cost of Mars colonization, SpaceX developed Starlink, a constellation intended to comprise 12,000 satellites for global internet coverage. Bergerexplains that while the concept of low Earth orbit internet existed, SpaceX was the first to make it practical by mass-producing satellites at an unprecedented rate. This revenue stream is vital for the Starship program. Berger highlights how SpaceX has outpaced sovereign nations and corporate rivals like Amazon's Kuiper, which are years behind. The segment emphasizes the relentless work culture required to maintain this lead, often at the expense of employees' personal lives. NUMBER 61917 MASTER MIND OF MARS
Planning feels great until reality shows up. We've all sketched beautiful lists, only to watch them dissolve under meetings, family needs, and the next urgent fire. Today we turn planning into progress by committing to a simple, visual flow that respects your bandwidth and fuels momentum: brain dump, weigh impact vs effort with the DAMN Matrix, then sequence one big rock at a time.We start by pulling every idea out of your head and onto a surface—career moves, skills you want to learn, health goals, neglected projects, and relationship investments. Once the fog becomes visible, we score each item for impact and effort so the real priorities stand out. High impact and low effort rise to the top for fast wins; high impact and high effort follow to channel that momentum into meaningful outcomes. Low impact items get an honest review, so time‑sinks don't quietly steal your focus.From there, we make the critical shift from options to order. Instead of juggling five priorities and delivering average results, we pick a single next move and “walk the plank” one task at a time. We cap Month One at eight items—two per week—to match real capacity and protect existing commitments. No date‑drama yet: sequence first, schedule later. This self‑first framework isn't selfish for its own sake; it's how you refill your energy and show up stronger for your team, your clients, and your family. Progress becomes visible, resentment fades, and your calendar starts reflecting what you value, not just what's loud.If you want the Daily Domination Board and templates, drop “DD” or scan the QR to grab them.

VENEZUELA AS A POTENTIAL SINKHOLE AND THE END OF AMERICAN OMNIPOTENCE Colleagues Gaius and Germanicus, Friends of History Debating Society, Londinium, 91 AD. The speakers analyze a failed US"decapitation" strike in Venezuela intended to replace Maduro with Delcy Rodriguez, a move that resulted in confusion regarding the loyalty of Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino. They argue that the "omnipotence" the US displayed in Panama or during Desert Storm has vanished, leaving the empire unable to easily topple regimes. Venezuela is described as a potential "sinkhole" defined by complex terrain and heavily armed, "uncontrollable" guerrilla groups that would make intervention a "gigantic mess." The discussion concludes that the US is "hoist by its own petard," having relied on "military theater"—the illusion that waving a wand creates authority—which is now failing against a fractious reality. Unlike the 1990s, the US lacks the force capacity to manage such a conflict without facing an "impossible guerrilla war" that could destroy its remaining reputation. NUMBER 1 1954

In the final message of our From Ruin to Redemption: The Gospel According to Isaiah series, Pastor Dave Hentschel brings us to the summit of Isaiah's prophetic vision in Isaiah 65:17–25. This passage unveils God's promised future—a new heavens and new earth—where sorrow, injustice, futility, and fear are no more. Isaiah is not offering speculative timelines, but reshaping our moral imagination, showing us the world as God originally intended it to be: a world marked by joy instead of weeping, security instead of loss, fruitful work instead of frustration, intimacy with God instead of distance, and peace instead of violence. This sermon challenges the assumption that brokenness is normal or permanent, reminding us that God is not patching the old order but replacing it entirely. As God's people stand between two worlds—the one that is and the one that is coming—we are called to live now as citizens of that future kingdom, allowing God's promised world to shape our faith, ethics, hope, and daily lives.God's promised future is not an excuse to wait—it is a summons to live now in the joy, justice, and peace of the world He is bringing.

Intended for adult audiences. Strong language, sexual situations, substance abuse and lewd behavior. Viewer discretion is advised.Hardwire Heartache is the first work of the newly minted CMND/CTRL production team. This labor of love harkens back to the old school, "Radio Drama" style of entertainment that reached its peak in the 1930's and 40's.Written and performed by unpaid, amateur actors and producers, every sound effect and piece of ambience is created and recorded by hand in the old style.The story is a love letter to classic works such as blade runner, electric sheep, dragnet and Ruby - galactic gumshoe. Set in the year 2886, in a nearly lawless galaxy. The story follows a wannabe gumshoe Daniel Birx and his reporter friend Mikey, who get mixed up in the deadly world of illegal clones and murderous assassin Androids.Their travels take them through worlds that are as fantastical as they are absurd, with danger and wonder lurking around every corner.__________________Interested in collaborating or lending your voice to future projects?Contact us at: cmnd.ctrl.prods@gmail.com__________________Cast membersMork: Ash ThomasShlemp: Garth LeedleGrell: Manual LanderosTeruo/Fixico: Sam McPhersonRaulus, pigs and Taloc: Jordan Kyle FagerlieOfonov: ROBI BAILEY-MARSHAbira: Abby OrtizNarration/Bjorn: Neil StevensBirx/Machismo: K.T.UniverseMike: A MartinezMaisie : Lynn Amakehs Mitchell Gus : Dana MitchellNinja : Leo TorresRicky : Ricardo Salazar__________________Artwork : Elliot Allen Instagram: art_by_BanditoCommissions/enquiries:Elliot.rd.allen@gmail.com__________________Intro song cmnd ctrl Jordan Kyle Fagerliehttps://on.soundcloud.com/v7cFEstMvFCAV7wFYg__________________Written by: K.T.UniverseDirected by: A Martinez
Intended to save fuel and protect consumers, CAFE standards have instead penalized efficient small cars, subsidized trucks and SUVs, and created a de facto electric-vehicle mandate. Cato's Chad Davis, Brent Skorup, and Peter Van Doren trace how decades of regulatory layering have increased vehicle manufacturing costs, reduced affordability for consumers, and locked automakers into an endless cycle of policy reversals.

Art imitates life for Canadian actor Will Arnett (Arrested Development, BoJack Horseman) in “Is This Thing On?” — a new film about a middle-aged man at a crossroads. Will left Toronto for New York City right after school to pursue a career in acting. Instead of doing stand-up or sketch comedy, he studied the craft in hopes of becoming a dramatic actor. But then his obvious comedic ability steered him in a different direction. Will joins Tom Power to talk about circling back to that dream with his latest film, and why he tells director and co-star Bradley Cooper he loves him every day.
Want a year that actually changes your life? We break down a practical system to stop chasing busywork and start stacking wins that matter. It starts with a guilt-free brain dump to pull every idea, project, and half-finished goal out of your head so you can judge them by outcome, not overwhelm. From there, we introduce the Damn Matrix, a four-quadrant method that ranks your work by impact and effort. High impact, low effort goes first. High impact, high effort gets planned next. Low impact items wait their turn. The real twist: we score by the value of starting, not the fantasy of finishing, so momentum arrives early and fuels the bigger climbs.Curveballs still happen, and we name them: rabid squirrels. Instead of letting emergencies swallow your day, we use the Daily Domination board to label, log, and move them through Done, then review weekly to spot patterns. When the same sources trigger fire drills, you design guardrails—clear expectations, calendar buffers, and ready-made responses. We also get honest about what overcommitment costs: sleep, exercise, and nutrition. The fix is counterintuitive and effective—shrink the number of daily targets so you stay calm, kind, and focused, even when plans shift.All of this lives inside a self-first framework: plan, commit, execute. We plan across a year, then break it into thirds and months to see where impact compounds. We commit on the calendar to protect deep work and life habits. We execute daily with a simple workflow that tracks progress and interruptions without guilt. You'll leave with a repeatable way to prioritize for impact, start sooner, and sustain energy so results stack without burning you out.If this helps, share it with a friend who's drowning in to-dos, hit follow for more practical tools, and leave a review telling us one high-impact, low-effort move you'll start this week. Your next breakthrough begins with what you choose to start today.Set the stage for an amazing new year with the Self First Framework.https://calendly.com/jesse04/self-first-webinar Download a PDF copy of Becoming the Promise You are Intended to Behttps://www.depthbuilder.com/books

In this episode, we dive into a concept that is absolutely transformative for yoga teachers: the idea that yoga cannot be both healing and performative at the same time. If we're still teaching from a linear, hierarchical, aesthetic-based model of asana, we're unintentionally blocking the very healing we hope to support. This conversation focuses on how teachers can shift toward a non-linear, person-centered approach grounded in the intended benefit of each pose. Francesca offers a co-creative teaching model where the teacher brings clarity, knowledge, and intention — without assuming universal "right" shapes. In this episode, you'll hear: the foundational framework that helps teachers move away from aesthetic evaluation and toward meaningful, individualized movement experiences pose case studies including child's pose, downward facing dog, plank and warrior two a deep dive into the idea that each pose is a container of possible movement nutrients how to incorporate all these ideas into your teaching right away an invitation to get some feedback from Francesca Resources Mentioned: 15 Downward Dog Prep Sequences: 15sequences.com The Science Of The Private Lesson The Mentor Sessions Sangha Episode 164: Taking Movement Patterns Down To The Studs with Geneva Jimreivat This episode is brought to you by OfferingTree, an easy-to-use, all-in-one online platform for yoga teachers that provides a personal website, booking, payment, blogging, and many other great features.

The Tennant Mission and the Failure of Alliances: Colleague Charles Spicer recounts that in the summer of 1939, Ernest Tennant undertook a final secret mission to Ribbentrop's Austrian castle, confirming that Hitler intended to attack Poland and wage a long war; while London believed this intelligence and pursued a pact with Poland, Chamberlain's deep antipathy toward the Soviets delayed an alliance with Stalin, and Soviet spies leaked these diplomatic moves to Germany, accelerating the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, emphasizing that despite accurate intelligence from the amateur spies, British leadership failed to exploit opportunities. 1938
