Steve Martin didn’t come back from a digression; he was recovering from a baby making noises. It’s recorded on his album A Wild and Crazy Guy The late Steve Ledesma at a family gathering I did a lot of misremembering in the episode. Justin Macumber had recorded a five minute memoir, but ultimately withdrew it. He wanted to use his own music; that didn’t fit with the format of the show. Here’s one remembrance for him. () P.G.

In this episode, Ray Cochrane digs into “algorithmic outing,” new research showing that social feeds can infer your sexual orientation before you have consciously come out. He also covers Meta’s privacy-aware AI infrastructure, Alberta’s 466-million-line code scan with Claude, NVIDIA on reinforcement learning, and the many journeys of learning Rust. Along the way, he hits Google DeepMind’s A24 deal, WhatsApp usernames, and scuba-diving cyborg cockroaches. Finally, he looks up with Webb’s puzzling early universe, NASA’s emergency telescope rescue, and a gorgeous aurora from orbit. – Want to start a podcast? Its easy to get started!

He hopes listeners had a good holiday weekend, and he shares that he spent his time working his other job at Oregon’s Finest, chatting with people around Portland. Because his Blurbry workweek tends to be solitary, he refills his social meter on the weekends. He then recalls a Saturday night out with coworkers at the Hungry Tiger before turning to the lead story. Algorithmic Outing: When Your Feed Knows Before You Do Cochrane leads with new research from Australia that identifies a phenomenon called “algorithmic outing.” In short, the recommendation systems behind your social feeds can infer your sexual orientation or gender identity and start serving related content before you have worked it out yourself. Importantly, the study is small and qualitative, built on in-depth interviews with twenty LGBTQ+ adults in the Hunter region of New South Wales and published in the journal Gender, Place and Culture. The mechanism is engagement signals: what you like, who you follow, and how long you linger on a post, a metric the industry calls dwell time. Lead researcher Dr. Justin Ellis of the University of Newcastle notes that several participants said the algorithm “knew” they were queer before they did, an experience that felt validating for some but frightening for others in public settings. For Cochrane, the deeper worry is what else that hidden pattern encodes, from upbringing to mental health, and where that data ultimately gets sold.

Meta’s Blueprint for Privacy-Aware AI Infrastructure Next, Cochrane turns to a sharp engineering piece from Meta on privacy-aware infrastructure. The core challenge is that a system must understand what a piece of data actually is before any privacy rule can protect it. A field named “age,” for example, might describe a person in one place and a cache setting in another. Meta’s answer deploys a large language model only on the genuinely ambiguous cases, then distills what it learns into fixed, human-reviewed rules. The payoff is concrete. According to Meta, those deterministic rules already handle about 85 percent of the traffic, and only the last 15 percent falls back to the model, which costs roughly 400 times more compute. Cochrane loves this edge-case approach. However, he contrasts it sharply with the AI-everywhere software he wrestles with at his weekend job, which he says the heavy AI reliance genuinely makes worse and harder to audit. Alberta Scans 466 Million Lines of Code With Claude This one comes from Anthropic, and it ties directly to Meta’s theme. A team inside Alberta’s Ministry of Technology and Innovation used Claude to scan 466 million lines of code in about twenty hours, a review Anthropic estimates would have taken humans roughly six and a half years. Notably, they ran around fifty AI agents in parallel, essentially an automated red team and blue team probing the systems at once. For Cochrane, this is the good version of AI in production: cleaning up and locking down real systems rather than running the show unsupervised. NVIDIA on Reinforcement Learning for AI Agents On the AI-building side, Cochrane walks through an NVIDIA developer piece on reinforcement learning for agents. Reinforcement learning rewards a model for good behavior rather than showing it the right answer, much like training a dog with treats. Additionally, he clears up a common mix-up. NVIDIA treats RAG, retrieval-augmented generation, as a separate tool: reinforcement learning changes how a model behaves, while RAG changes what facts it can reach. GitHub Retires Two Gemini Models Meanwhile, GitHub is retiring Gemini 2.5 Pro and Gemini 3 Flash across all of Copilot on July 31. The migration paths are Gemini 3.1 Pro and Gemini 3.5 Flash. Cochrane flags it as a sign of the times, since tools that felt brand new a couple of years ago are already getting sunset. He also wonders how quickly today’s “AI-optimized” chips will turn over as the models keep changing. The Many Journeys of Learning Rust One for the programmers, and Cochrane makes no secret of loving Rust. The Rust blog’s Vision Doc series explores how people actually learn the language, which is built around memory safety and its strict borrow checker. Honest themes surface throughout, including “clone guilt,” where beginners refuse to copy anything, and “silent attrition,” the learners who quietly bounce off. His take stands: getting your brain onto a memory-safe language rewires how you approach a problem. Google DeepMind Partners With A24 In an interesting collision of worlds, Google DeepMind is teaming up with A24, the studio behind Hereditary and Everything Everywhere All at Once. The two call it a first-of-its-kind research partnership, with DeepMind researchers and A24 building creative tools shaped by the artists who use them. Cochrane adds a detail worth noting: Google also invested in A24, so this is money on the table, not just a research handshake. For now, though, the announcement stays deliberately vague, with no named films or products. Google’s $1 Million Africa Indie Game Fund Another one from Google, and it is good news for developers. Google is launching an indie games fund for sub-Saharan Africa, a region whose gaming scene is growing about as fast as anywhere. The fund puts up $1 million across ten local studios, each receiving between $50,000 and $200,000 plus mentorship and hands-on support. Applications close at noon UTC on July 31. WhatsApp Usernames Are Here to Reserve WhatsApp is finally moving off phone numbers as your identity. With usernames, someone can start a conversation with you without ever seeing your number. Starting this week, you can reserve the name you want ahead of the full launch later this year. To claim yours, head into Settings, then Account, then Username. Intel Sets Its Q2 Earnings Date Cochrane flags a date worth watching for anyone tracking Intel. The company reports second-quarter results on July 23, right after market close, with an earnings call at 2 p.m. Pacific. Given recent US government investment and a shifting chip landscape, he is curious how the domestic chipmaker is holding up. Your Smartwatch Might Spot Illness Before You Do Shifting to health, Engadget reports that the wearables-plus-AI wave is starting to deliver. These devices excel at catching the moment your body drifts off its own baseline, often the first nudge to get checked out. A 2025 study from Texas A&M and Stanford suggests smartwatches can detect early signs of COVID or the flu within hours of infection. Additionally, Apple Watch’s irregular-rhythm alerts have flagged AFib correctly about 84 percent of the time. Working Memory and Consciousness Here is a heady one from Scientific American, written by philosopher Henry Taylor at the University of Birmingham. Working memory is the mental scratchpad holding whatever you are doing right now. Taylor opens with the doorway effect, that blank moment when you enter a room and forget why. Intriguingly, when information leaves working memory, it seems to leave conscious awareness at the same instant, a link drawing fresh attention across psychology, philosophy, and neuroscience. Scuba-Diving Cyborg Cockroaches Now for the wild one. Scientists have built tiny diving suits that let Madagascar hissing cockroaches survive underwater for up to three hours, while an unequipped roach suffocates in minutes. The 3D-printed suit feeds oxygen through tubes into the insect’s breathing holes, called spiracles, using a chemical generator with no electronics. This lab already steered the roaches with electrodes, so the diving suit is the new trick on top. Researchers pitch it for search and rescue, though Cochrane notes the reality of the spy bug has already arrived. Quantum Time Runs Backward at Los Alamos Next, a genuine brain-bender. Physicists at Los Alamos, led by Luis Pedro García-Pintos, found a way to make a quantum system look like it is running backward in time. To be clear, time is not literally reversing. Precise measurements just make the system’s evolution appear to unfold in reverse. The useful part is energy: measurement itself becomes a resource in what they call a continuous measurement engine. Cochrane admits the paper drifted further from his reality the more he read. Tall Trees Shrug Off Drought A new study in Science overturns some textbook wisdom. For years, the assumption held that taller trees suffer more in drought because they must lift water higher. However, researchers studying dipterocarps in Southeast Asia found that trees topping seventy meters slowed their growth by about the same amount as short ones during the 2023-2024 El Niño drought. The trick is plumbing: a seventy-meter tree grows base vessels roughly twice as wide as a ten-meter tree, so the real driver of drought stress is subtler than raw height. The Energy Department Purges Conservation Pages This next one frustrates Cochrane. The US Department of Energy deleted roughly 6,000 web pages about energy conservation, and the timing is brutal during a record heatwave. The move followed backlash over New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani urging residents to ease strain on the grid. Fortunately, the Internet Archive and its Wayback Machine preserved the pages before they vanished. For Cochrane, deleting that kind of public information simply does not make sense. Webb’s Puzzling New Universe Heading to space, Quanta Magazine explores how the James Webb Space Telescope keeps finding early-universe objects that should not exist. Those include black holes that grew enormous too fast and hundreds of mysterious “little red dots” around 650 million years after the Big Bang. As astrophysicist Rachel Somerville of the Flatiron Institute puts it, scientists have “almost gone from having too many early galaxies to having too many theories.” The hard part now is figuring out which theory is right. NASA’s Emergency Telescope Rescue NASA has a rescue mission underway for the Swift Observatory, a 2004 telescope that studies gamma-ray bursts. Recent solar storms puffed up Earth’s atmosphere, and the added drag has dragged Swift’s orbit down to about 224 miles, low enough to risk burning up this year. To intervene, NASA enlisted Katalyst Space Technologies of Flagstaff, Arizona, whose LINK spacecraft launched Friday. The plan is to boost Swift back up to roughly 373 miles. A Gorgeous Aurora From Orbit Finally, Cochrane closes on something beautiful. ESA shared a stunning aurora captured from orbit, a shimmering green band of light rippling over the planet. If you have a few minutes, it is well worth a look. Cochrane wraps with housekeeping and a thank-you to GoDaddy for two decades of support, then signs off, wishing listeners a wonderful evening.

Warum haben so viele Menschen das Gefühl, nicht gut genug zu sein – obwohl sie so viel richtig machen? Wir optimieren unseren Körper, unsere Karriere und unser Leben. Und doch fühlen wir uns ständig unzulänglich. Warum ist das so? Leon und Atze tauchen ein in die Gedanken des Psychologen Alfred Adler, der schon vor über 100 Jahren eine überraschend aktuelle Antwort auf diese Frage fand. Sie sprechen über Minderwertigkeitsgefühle, Selbstzweifel, den ständigen Vergleich mit anderen – und darüber, warum genau diese Gefühle sowohl unser größter Antrieb als auch unsere größte Belastung sein können. Außerdem geht es um die Frage, wie wir aus dem Kreislauf des "Nicht-genug-Seins" ausbrechen können.

We were in the mood for something completely different. Actually Beth was in the mood for covering Asian Serial Killer genre, and our resident sub Vivica Dunlap suggested this deft little title from legendary director Gakuryu Ishii. Long considered one of the godfathers of Cyberpunk cinema with such titles as “Crazy Thunder Road” and “Burst City” Ishii would take a long directorial hiatus between his earliest films to make one of the most sinister depictions of brainwashing and coercive relationships. The serial killer arch is surface mystery. The real depravity unveils about a third of the way through the film, and is deeply unsettling. The film itself is a visual feast, yet more concise. One sequence will have viewers avoiding laundromats after dark for the rest of their lives. Kaho Minami and Takeshi Wakamatsu turn in compelling performances amidst the backdrop of supercharged, ambitious, 90s Tokyo. Throughout, Ishii maintains his salient narrative of Japanese society. It's a great watch, and we recommend discovering all of Ishii's work. Special note: in the episode we recommended watching the version that is posted on Daily Motion, there is also the original Japanese full film on the Internet Archive.The link ls posted below.Episode links:https://bloodvine.com/angel-dust“Why you should watch Burst City: https://youtu.be/ZuiiJuyeVZs?si=_7oyQEjWspJ862DHMovie links: (Japanese versio) https://archive.org/details/angel-dust.-1994.-dvdripDailymotion (English version) Source: Dailymotion https://share.google/OsmJ4dDuCrsck8lhb

Lunds universitet var det svenska lärosäte som utåt var mest präglat av nazistiska influenser under mellankrigstiden. Redan 1930 bildades en nationalsocialistisk studentklubb. När Sveriges förste nazistledare Birger Furugård återvände till sin gamla studentstad Lund i februari 1931 fick han ett varmt mottagande och talade i en fullsatt AF-borg, prydd med stora hakkors.I Lund fanns två profilerade nazistiska studentorganisationer, flera ledande akademiker var nazister och när Lunds studentkår den 6 mars 1939 röstade om ett uttalande kring asyl till tio judiska specialistläkare ställde sig två tredjedelar av medlemmarna bakom ett skarpt uttalande mot asyl. Studentkårens rasbiologiskt motiverande uttalandet refererades i rikspress och väckte frågor om hur demokratisk den framtida svenska eliten var.I detta avsnitt av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med journalisten och lundabon Eskil Fagerström, aktuell med boken Historien om Lund (Historiska Media).Medicinalstyrelsens förslag att låta tio judiska läkare fly till Sverige ledde ett skarpt uttalande från Lunds studentkår den 6 mars 1939 till efter en omröstning bland medlemmarna. Med en explicit rasbiologisk formulering hävdades att det var skadligt och oförsvarbart inför framtiden att ”främmande element upptagas i vårt folk”.Lund var en småstad där universitetet dominerade det sociala livet. År 1930 hade Lund cirka 24 520 invånare, och studenternas andel av stadsbilden växte snabbt under decenniet; vårterminen 1939 fanns omkring 2 200 inskrivna studenter. Studentkåren var i praktiken en elitmiljö, rekryterad från välbärgade hem, med traditioner som stärkte sammanhållningen – och en känsla av att vara samhällets blivande ledarskikt.Den kombinationen – liten stad, stor social prestige och starka traditioner – gjorde politiken till mer än debatt. Den blev identitet. När Europas kriser fördjupades och nazismens propaganda presenterade sig som ett ”modernt” svar på arbetslöshet, kommunistskräck och ”nationell förnedring” fanns det redan en publik som var mottaglig.Redan 1930 bildades en nationalsocialistisk studentklubb i Lund. Efter krigsutbrottet bytte den namn till Lunds svensk-socialistiska studentförening (LSSS). Den tidiga etableringen fick draghjälp av kopplingar mellan svensk nazism och Lund: när nazistledaren Birger Furugård kom till staden i februari 1931 talade han i en fullsatt AF-borgen som prytts med stora hakkors.Under mitten av 1930-talet kunde två konkurrerande nazistiska studentorganisationer verka parallellt vid universitetet. Samtidigt odlade man en aktivistkultur: läger med ”kamratskap”, militär drill och nattmarscher – samt regelbundna samlingar i partilokaler. Det här var inte enbart skrivbordsradikalism. De lundensiska nazisterna sökte offentligheten: möten på Mårtenstorget, propaganda, uppvisningar och försök att vinna tolkningsföreträde över det ”nationella” studentlivet.I samtiden noterades också hur sympatier kunde sträcka sig in i etablerade kretsar av lärare och intellektuella, vilket gav rörelsen status och nätverk. I en miljö där studenterna såg sig som framtidens domare, ämbetsmän och opinionsbildare blev frågan brännande: Om eliten vacklar – vad händer då med demokratin?Om du vill lyssna reklamfritt och dessutom få två extra avsnitt i månaden ska du bli medlem i Historia Nu Premium för 75 kr/mån – du kan testa gratis i sju dagar.Lyssna också på Fascismens födelse.Bildtext: Nazistledaren Birger Furugård talar i Akademiska Föreningens stora sal vid Lunds studentkår 1931.

This might be rated PG-13+ please see my note below*In 1862 Christina Rosetti wrote the narrative poem Goblin Market. It was initially illustrated by her brother--one of the three leaders/founders of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, Dante Gabriel Rossetti and later it was illustrated by one of our illustrators from the Midnight Mother Goose story, illustrator, Arthur Rackham. (Note Christina had been working with a program helping women in what sounded like a  rehabilitation program, when she wrote this poem.)I read this poem while outside, with aspen trees quaking in the breeze, occasional far off cars and neighborhood dogs... pastoral, but stretching it with more of a city-mouse kind of sense? Music for this episode is Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony used under fair use from the Internet Archive. *NOTE--For Listener Awareness: Christina was kind of walking along a fence if the Goblin Market is appropriate for all ages. From Wikipedia: "It tells the story of sisters Laura and Lizzie, who are tempted with fruit by goblin merchants.[1] In a letter to her publisher, Rossetti claimed that the poem, which is interpreted frequently as having features of remarkably sexual imagery, was not meant for children. However, in public Rossetti often stated that it was intended for children, and went on to write many children's poems." So, which is it?Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goblin_Market The drawing for this episode is by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, for the Goblin Market by Christina Rossetti.

I haven't posted for a few weeks mostly because the current armed conflict with Iran poses a lot of questions that I don't have answers for. One thing I might have an answer for is the question about wars of choice. Recently, this term is used in a way that implies that this armed conflict is illegitimate or unethical. Like many terms used by any faction with intended political impact, the term is left undefined. Without defining terms there can be no logical argument. Rather, the intent is an appeal to emotion, rather than reason. In this episode of the Ancient Art of Modern Warfare, I take on the challenge of defining that term and applying it to modern conflicts.

We are finally returning to one of the most formative albums to The Album Concept Hour. Without it, who knows, we may have been swept up in an alternate timeline and become different versions of ourselves. Fortunately, fate has deem it necessary for us to continue this foolhardy endeavor, at least until our own universe is murdered or our world set on fire. But enough about us! This album is about the infamous Han Tyumi and his journey through time and space and life and so much more. It's the album that hold the Gizzverse together and we're finally diving in DEEP.

Joseph Goebbels stack ut bland de ledande nazisterna genom att vara disputerad och framstå som intellektuell. Han var en övertygad antisemit som avhumaniserade judar och initierade den första stora pogromen i Tredje riket 1938.Som propagandaminister tog Goebbels ett hårt grepp om kulturen i Tredje riket. Samtidigt var majoriteten av de filmer som producerades under hans ledning breda underhållningsfilmer – ett medvetet sätt att normalisera regimen och styra publikens uppmärksamhet. Han var också tidigt skicklig på att utnyttja ett nytt massmedium: radion.I detta andra av två avsnitt av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med Ulf Zander, professor i historia vid Lunds universitet, om Tredje rikets propagandaminister Joseph Goebbels.I oktober 1926 utnämnde Hitler Goebbels till partichef i Berlin. Som gauleiter fick han ett uppdrag som passade hans temperament: storstadens politiska gatukamp. Här finslipade han en metod som känns igen i modern demagogi:Provokation som strategi: skapa konflikter som genererar rubriker.Personfixerad agitation: peka ut syndabockar och “förrädare”.Möten som teater: ljus, symboler, marscher – en känsla av att historien rör sig nu. Nazismens budskap blev inte bara något man hörde; det blev något man upplevde.En central del i Goebbels framgång i Berlin var hans förmåga att förvandla nederlag till heroiska berättelser. När nazisten Horst Wessel, en ung SA-ledare, sköts i januari 1930 och senare avled i februari, insåg Goebbels omedelbart propagandavärdet och gjorde Wessel till martyr. Texten som Wessel skrivit till en äldre melodi blev “Horst-Wessel-Lied”, som därefter blev NSDAP:s partihymn och – efter 1933 – en av Tysklands nationalsånger i praktiken, sida vid sida med “Deutschlandlied”.Genom massmöten i Sportpalast och andra stora arenor utvecklade Goebbels en ny politisk estetik. Han använde dramatiska ljuseffekter, uniformerade vakter, standar och en noggrant planerad koreografi för att skapa en känsla av oövervinnerlig kraft. Under presidentvalskampanjen 1932 organiserade han kampanjen “Hitler över Tyskland”, där Hitler flögs mellan städer för att tala inför enorma publiker på kort tid. Vid maktövertagandet 1933 hade Goebbels gjort Berlin till en scen för nazistiska triumfer.Efter maktövertagandet inrättades 1933 Rikets ministerium för folkupplysning och propaganda, lett av Goebbels. Ministeriet fick ett ovanligt brett grepp om press, radio, film, teater, litteratur, musik och bildkonst – och blev centralt i regimens kulturella likriktning. Goebbels verkliga makt låg inte i att övertyga varje individ, utan i att göra avvikelse dyr och samstämmighet lätt. När alla kanaler låter likadant blir tystnaden det enda motståndet.Goebbels förstod radion som en politisk genväg in i hemmen. Satsningen på billiga massproducerade mottagare – Volksempfänger – gjorde det enklare att samla nationen kring ledarens röst och regimens nyheter. Här finns en mediehistorisk lärdom som återkommer: teknikens räckvidd är politiskt neutral – men användningen är det inte.När diplomaten Ernst vom Rath sköts i Paris den 7 november 1938 och avled den 9 november utnyttjade regimen händelsen propagandistiskt; den upphetsade rapporteringen bidrog till att bana väg för pogromen Kristallnatten (9–10 november).Under kriget fortsatte Goebbels att driva en retorik som band samman “folkets överlevnad” med fiendens eliminering. Propagandan bidrog därmed till den mentala terräng där massmord kunde framstå som “nödvändigt”.Bild: Propagandaminister Joseph Goebbels talar vid ett offentligt framträdande i Nazityskland, Foto: Georg Pahl, CC BY-SA 3.0, via Wikimedia Commons (Bundesarchiv, Bild 102-17049).Musik:‘Horst-Wessel-Lied' (‘Die Fahne hoch'), en nazistisk kampsång använd i NSDAP:s propaganda under 1930–40-talen. dirigenten Carl Woitschach.

Propagandaminister Joseph Goebbels (1897-1945) var en av de mest destruktiva gestalterna i Tredje riket. Goebbels gjorde hatet begripligt, lockande och vardagligt. Den fysiskt veke Goebbels utnyttjade medvetet gatuvåld för att uppnå uppmärksamhet.Goebbels dyrkade Adolf Hitler och kom att göra en ideologisk helomvändning från en positiv syn på Sovjetunionen till att följa Adolf Hitlers vilja att förgöra Sovjet. Goebbels blev en av de tydligaste arkitekterna bakom den så kallade “Führermyten” – föreställningen att Hitler var nationens ofelbara förkroppsligande. Ett bärande element i nationalsocialismen.I detta första av två avsnitt av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med Ulf Zander, professor i historia vid Lunds universitet om tredje rikets propagandaminister Joseph Goebbels.Paul Joseph Goebbels föddes den 29 oktober 1897 i Rheydt i Rhenprovinsen. Han växte upp i en katolsk, småborgerlig miljö och var studiebegåvad. Barndomen präglades av sjukdom och en bestående missbildning i foten som gav honom en tydlig hälta – en detalj som i tidens manlighetsideal kunde bli en livslång social börda. Han blev dessutom avvisad från militärtjänst under första världskriget, vilket förstärkte känslan av att stå utanför “nationens prövning”.För en ung man i det kejserliga Tyskland, där fysisk styrka och militära ideal var fundamentala komponenter i den manliga identiteten, skapade detta handikapp en djup känsla av alienation och utanförskap. Denna känsla av isolering förstärktes dramatiskt vid utbrottet av första världskriget i augusti 1914. Medan hans jämnåriga kamrater anmälde sig som frivilliga och drog ut i fält, nekades Goebbels militärtjänst på grund av sin fot.Denna erfarenhet av att stå utanför nationens stora "hjältesaga" blev ett livslångt trauma som han senare försökte kompensera genom en aggressiv nationalism och ett radikalt politiskt patos. I kombinationen av intellektuell ambition och personlig bräcklighet ser många biografer grogrunden till Goebbels ständiga behov av upprättelse: att bli sedd, beundrad och behövd.Goebbels studerade humaniora vid flera universitet och tog doktorsexamen i Heidelberg. Han drömde om ett liv som författare och dramatiker, men mötte i stället refuseringar, osäkra jobb och en gnagande upplevelse av att vara förbigången. I senare framställningar har denna bitterhet ofta kopplats till hans politiska radikalisering: om det “etablerade” samhället inte gav honom en scen, skulle han bygga en egen.Goebbels kom i kontakt med NSDAP 1924, efter att ha hört Adolf Hitler tala och blivit fascinerad av dennes oratoriella kraft. Hitler satt vid denna tid i fängelse efter den misslyckade ölkällarkuppen, och partiet var splittrat. Goebbels anslöt sig till den norra flygeln av rörelsen, ledd av bröderna Gregor och Otto Strasser. Denna fraktion betonade de socialistiska aspekterna av partiprogrammet och förespråkade en mer proletär och antikapitalistisk linje än den bayerska ledningen runt Hitler.Goebbels gjorde snabb karriär som agitator och skribent. Han imponerade med sin förmåga att förena ideologi med dramaturgi: att göra politik till berättelse, fiender till karikatyrer och den egna rörelsen till ett ödesdrama.Bildtext: Joseph Goebbels talar vid en nazistisk protestmanifestation i Berlin-Lustgarten i juli 1932, riktad mot resultatet av Lausannekonferensen under mellankrigstidens ekonomiska och politiska kris.

Theory # 5 of 12 - Did the Knights Templar secretly survive and become Freemasons?Or is the Templar theory powerful for a different reason?In this episode of Masonic Muscle: The Origin War, Cesar Rubio examines Theory #5 from Brother Kenneth Mackenzie's Royal Masonic Cyclopaedia of 1877: “From the Templars.”This episode separates history, tradition, mythistory, symbolism, and speculation.We look at:the Crusadesthe rise of the Knights TemplarTemple symbolismChevalier Ramsaychivalric Masonrythe weakness of direct-line evidenceand why the Templar myth still grips the Masonic imaginationReferenced sources include:The Royal Masonic Cyclopaedia — Kenneth MackenzieHistory of Freemasonry — Robert Freke GouldCatholic Encyclopedia material on the Knights TemplarSecret Societies and Subversive Movements — Nesta WebsterThe Meaning of Masonry — W.L.

What happened in Tudor England when someone's mind turned against them? There was no therapist, no diagnosis, no prescription. But there was a whole system, and it was more coherent than you'd expect. We dig into the four humors as a complete theory of the mind, Timothy Bright's 1586 Treatise of Melancholie (the first English book on mental illness), music as formally prescribed medical treatment, and the social structures that made room for people who thought differently. We also look at Will Somers, Henry VIII's jester, what Bedlam actually was in the Tudor period, and why the Henry VIII personality change story is more complicated than it first appears. The Tudors were trying to make sense of suffering with the tools they had. Some of those tools were wrong. The impulse behind them is completely recognizable.

The Wayback Machine is a project of the Internet Archive. It sends out web crawlers to take snapshots of the internet, creating a digital library of web pages. But now, some news publications are blocking its crawlers over concerns that AI companies will access the Wayback Machine's publicly available archive and then train their AI models with the content.Marketplace's Stephanie Hughes talked about this with Andrew Deck at Harvard's Nieman Lab.

Inequality.org (3/4/26) This week on CounterSpin:  Tesla reported $5.7 billion in US profits in 2025 and paid $0.0 in taxes. As Rebecca Crosby and Judd Legum at Popular Information report, there's little mystery to this miracle: Tesla used corporate tax breaks, proffered by Trump and co. in what reporters with straight faces call the “One Big Beautiful Bill”—including 100% bonus depreciation; and they exploited a long-standing deduction for executive stock options. At least 88 profitable corporations have reported paying $0 in federal income taxes last year, according to the Institute for Taxation and Economic Policy. Citigroup, CVS, Walt Disney—they “made” billions but, weirdly it turns out, they somehow owe the federal government bupkis, whereas you and I are playing a chump's game, evidently. Cheaters cheat, grifters grift, but why do news media label companies “successful” when that success stems from cheating and grifting and, crucially, shafting their workers? Sarah Anderson directs the Global Economy Project at the Institute for Policy Studies and co-edits the site Inequality.org. She's written a new report that gets to the heart of America's “Low-Wage Employers and the Affordability Crisis.” We hear from her this week. https://media.blubrry.com/counterspin/content.blubrry.com/counterspin/CounterSpin260417Anderson.mp3 Fight for the Future (4/13/26) Also on the show: The Internet Archive's Wayback Machine is a nonprofit digital library with the fundamental mission of preserving web pages. For example, a union organizer used it to look up old job listings and check how what the company says it offers has shifted over time. When police edited a press release after a journalist reported on it, and then said her report was false, she was able to prove that the department had changed their statement. It's kind of Information 101. But it's under threat. We hear about that from artist and activist Lia Holland, campaigns and communications director at the group Fight for the Future. https://media.blubrry.com/counterspin/content.blubrry.com/counterspin/CounterSpin260417Holland.mp3

Nintendo was in trouble. It was 1980, and they'd just poured a ton of money into an arcade game they'd hoped would be a hit. They called it Radar Scope. It was a massive flop. In a panic, the company rushed to create a new game that they hoped would make good use out of all their unsold Radar Scope arcade cabinets. That game – Donkey Kong – took the world by storm. Nintendo basked in the success of their new game. They had no idea that a massive lawsuit was headed their way.Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources!
