Popok reports on Congresswoman Joyce Beatty's new filing to Federal Judge Cooper decrying that Trump's captured "Trump Kennedy Center" Board of Trustees likely lied to the Court about the need for a semi-permanent tarp to cover up Trump's name off (and Kennedy's name on), about the delay in taking down the name in the first place, and by openly defying the court's order about the name change including holding the Center's needed fundraising hostage in continued violation of the Board's fiduciary duties to the public.

Send us Fan MailThe facelift internet loves a clean fight: SMAS vs deep plane, one “best” method, one winner. But what if that whole debate is a distraction from the only thing that actually predicts a great result: whether your surgeon can see how faces age in three dimensions and reverse it with intention? I sit down again with Dr. Ben Talei, Beverly Hills facial plastic surgeon, educator, and relentless anatomy nerd, to talk about what technique labels can't capture and why most studies miss the parts patients care about most. We dig into how surgeon “vision” shows up in real outcomes: jawline clarity, midface shape, eye area youthfulness, skin quality, and even how the smile moves after facial rejuvenation surgery. Ben breaks down the logic behind planes, fixation zones, tissue glide, and why “ligament release” has become an oversimplified story that can block real understanding. We also get practical about neck contour, parotid-related volume, and why small three-dimensional corrections can beat big two-dimensional pulls when you're chasing natural, durable change. From there, we go wider: pricing outrage and why elective cosmetic surgery behaves like a luxury market, the ethics of “profiting from insecurity,” and how social media and AI filters are driving unrealistic expectations for facelift results. We close with high-signal rapid fire on what's underrated (nanofat), what's overrated (biostimulators), why fillers can't “defy gravity,” and whether hyperbaric oxygen or light therapy actually helps healing. If you want a clearer way to think about facelift technique, facial aging, and what excellence looks like, this one is for you.

Some relationships don't stay together because they're healthy. They stay together because one person is constantly managing tension, solving problems, and carrying responsibilities that were never meant to belong to them alone. In this episode, I explore what happens when that person reaches their limit, why the relationship often appears to get worse, and how stability and health are not always the same thing.This episode is supported by Enhanced-Mind Counseling.

Live shows provide a different energy and inspiration. Representation in the beauty industry is crucial. Advocacy for beauty education is necessary. The beauty industry faces significant legislative challenges. Creativity can reignite passion in seasoned professionals. Elevate shows are inclusive and brand neutral. It's crucial for the beauty industry to advocate for itself. Collectivizing efforts can lead to significant change. Inspiration can come from various sources, not just within the industry.

First episode in separate studios! Went well, and we had a fun discussion about the recent JRE Eric Weinstein episode, with the possibility that the science of Physics has been stalled, or purposefully distracted, by the beautiful but seemingly useless mathematics of String Theory. Is it possible that "real physics" simply went "black"...that work is being done in secret that is actually making progress in unlocking the secrets of the universe?

“AI companies are taking advantage of our natural tendency to ascribe an inner life to our interlocutors. They profit when you think the chatbot cares.” — Kate O'Neill If we don't like someone, we call them a fascist. And if we like them, we say they are a humanist. The F and H words. Both meaningless in our sloppy, bot-infested age. But maybe I'm just a cranky anti-humanist. Even anti-human — whatever that means. Or maybe I'm being harsh (moi?). Humanism certainly is all the rage in our AI age. Corporate consultant Kate O'Neill likes the word so much that she has built her brand around it. The self-styled “Tech Humanist” is the author of Tech Humanist, the host of the Tech Humanist Show, and a frequent speaker on the TED circuit. So how to use the H word without sounding like Claude or ChatGPT? O'Neill argues that what makes us human is our quest for meaning. The M word. That's what distinguishes us from the bots. But as Kazuo Ishiguro warns in Klara and the Sun, we are fast arriving at a point when the bots are better than us at extracting meaning from the world. So did Kate O'Neill pass the Keen Test (reverse of Turing)? Did the Tech Humanist say anything that would have eluded Claude? Or have we already arrived at Ishiguro's bleak terminus where the bots are more skilled at infusing the H word with meaning than we are? Five Takeaways • What Is Tech Humanism? Aligning Business and Human Outcomes: O'Neill's definition: technology shapes human experiences at scale, and it does so almost always in service of a business objective that is accelerating its advance. The purpose of tech humanism is to find the business objectives that need to be met and align them with human outcomes that are rewarding and fulfilling for people. This means using technology to amplify the alignment between business and human outcomes — rather than simply making the business more successful. It is, she acknowledges, not the habit of most business leaders. But it is a habit that can be developed. • You Sound Like a Bot: Andrew's Challenge: Andrew's opening challenge: O'Neill sounds exactly like a well-prompted language model. She uses the h word (humanism) and the m word (meaning). What is she saying that Claude couldn't say? O'Neill's answer: meaning is not a word but a phenomenon. It is what emerges from the combination of embodied sensory experience and language — the way humans encode meaningful experiences with language in their brains. As far as we know, this is a uniquely human capability. Machines process information statistically. Humans process it meaningfully. That distinction is, she argues, precisely the gap that matters. • AI Companies Profit When You Think the Chatbot Cares: O'Neill's sharpest observation: we are constituted to look for inner life in the things we interact with. We give nicknames to our cars and talk to our toasters. At this early stage of interacting with large language models, it is entirely natural to assume there is a consciousness on the other side. The problem: AI companies are actively taking advantage of that natural tendency. They profit from it. The more people believe the chatbot genuinely understands them, the more they use it. That manipulation is real and it is working. Developing critical thinking about AI interactions is, O'Neill argues, now a form of self-defence. • The Intersection of Meaning and Scale: O'Neill's key contribution to the tech humanism conversation: the problem with technology is not technology itself but the scale at which it operates. A single interaction with a biased algorithm is annoying. A billion such interactions, aggregated and accelerated by a business objective, reshapes society. The tech humanist's job is to ensure that when we deploy technology at scale, the outcomes remain aligned with human meaning rather than with the extraction of human attention. This, she says, is both a business problem and a civilisational one. The two are, in her view, inseparable. • A Message to 2126: What We Valued About Ourselves: Andrew asks O'Neill: it is 2126. Humans and machines are indistinguishable. What do you say to whoever is listening? O'Neill's answer: hello from the past. What we valued about ourselves was our ability to understand each other — intellectually, emotionally, sympathetically, empathetically. We could come into our interactions by holding space for what the other person feels and cares about. And we could, even when we disagreed, create more shared understanding by virtue of having the conversation. That is a beautiful thing, she says, whether we are distinctly human and distinctly machine or increasingly a blend of both.

Can a background as a professional jazz musician help you improve at chess? Matt Rathkey says “yes.”. Matt is this week's guest on The Adult Improver Series. Like many players, he fell back in love with chess during the COVID pandemic and soon found himself playing regularly, watching top-level broadcasts, and solving puzzles. Along the way, he drew upon lessons from years of studying music, particularly the role of pattern recognition, deliberate practice, and improvisation. After years of dedication, Matt has raised his Chess.com blitz rating from roughly 1200 to over 1900. Matt also has a fascinating day job. He is a learning designer on Duolingo's chess team, helping build what has quickly become one of the largest entry points into chess in the world. Launched last year, Duolingo Chess now has more than 7 million daily active users, most of whom are new to the game. Matt shares his improvement advice, discusses the parallels between jazz and chess, and reflects on what he has learned about the science of skill acquisition. This was a fun conversation, and it is encouraging to see so many new players discovering chess through Duolingo. 00:00 Introduction Join the free Perpetual Chess Discord here: https://discord.gg/7KxjmaTW Sub to my free newsletter here: https://benjohnson.substack.com/ Join the Perpetual Chess Patreon community here: https://www.patreon.com/c/perpetualchess 02:00 Matt Rathkey joins 04:10 The Return to Chess: A Pandemic Story 07:04 Rediscovering Chess: The Queen's Gambit Effect 10:08 Setting Goals: The Journey to 1500 Matt's USCF rating page: https://ratings.uschess.org/player/13412385 13:09 Learning Through Observation: Active Engagement 16:04 The Importance of Tactics in Chess 18:48 Understanding Openings: Beyond Memorization 21:41 Chess Culture and Personal Growth 24:42 The Future of Chess: Duolingo's Chess Course 34:56 Overcoming Chess Intimidation 36:48 Duolingo Chess: Making Chess Accessible 39:44 Engaging with Oscar: The Duolingo Chess Bot 42:53 Learning Pathways in Duolingo Chess 46:41 Designing Effective Chess Lessons 51:08 Personalized Learning in Chess 53:14 The Intersection of Music and Chess 01:02:06 Advice for Chess Improvement 01:08:24 The Journey of Continuous Improvement Learn more about your ad choices.

Peter Fleming is a professor of management at the University of Technology Sydney, and also the author of several books. His recent works are Dark Academia: How Universities Die, Sugar Daddy Capitalism: The Dark Side of the New Economy, and The Death of Homo Economicus: Work, Debt and the Myth of Endless Accumulation. Greg and Peter discuss doing critical theory inside business schools and how neoliberalism and managerialism have reshaped universities. They also discuss the professionalization of higher education toward “employability,” driven by scarce public funding and human capital theory, which monetized expectations and intensified pressure, insecurity, and unhappiness. Peter suggests even executives face external constituent pressures. He explains his critique of Homo economicus as an extreme Cold War governance template that failed and contributed to “deaths of despair,” and he emphasizes rebuilding institutions by focusing on the labor problem and workplace conditions. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.* Episode Quotes: How human capital theory killed academic wonder 14:01: When we go into the classrooms, we've still got that old idea of imparting critical reflexivity, imparting wonder in the world, whether it's in the sciences, humanities, business schools, and so forth. And we are confronting this very monetized, "No, I want a degree simply because it's going to make me more money." Now, I'm not saying that for all students, but that's the culture that's been encouraged, I think. And that derives from human capital theory because if you're paying for it as a student, then you need to, especially in the US with student loans and all of that, you know, which is just out of control at the moment, then you're going to want to see a return on your investment, to use the phraseology. So I think human capital theory has really reshaped the way in which we think about our lives, in many ways and many facets of society, including higher education. And it's quite sad really, isn't it? It's quite sad. What does it really mean to become a manager? 45:00: When it comes to teaching students about what it will mean to be a manager, there's a couple of things I try to convey. The first thing is: don't think about becoming a manager. Think about when you're 70 years old and you're looking back on your life, are you going to say, "I made the right decision about what I chose to do for a living"? The worst thing would be to look back and go, "What a waste," and I'm only realizing it now towards the twilight of my years. So choose something that you love. The painful implications of capitalism in crisis on the workers 50:04: The subject of the most painful implications of capitalism in crisis is the worker. And I think it's telling what you said earlier, that even tenured professors are feeling awful, right? Many of us can't understand why, but fearful. You know, we're in a well-paid job, security, but it feels like economic destitution is around the corner, which just doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense. And so I think that finding a way to unify that workforce that's been fragmented, differentiated, different interests, different pay rates, et cetera, et cetera. But dealing with the labor problem, I think, is the big one.

The idea of worship is simple. Uncomplicated. When you think about it, worship is ascribing worth to someone or something. As people of faith, we ascribe to God the worth, praise and adoration that He is due. But worship that intersects with industry and organizations is inherently complicated. That doesn't mean it's wrong. That the worship industry is wrong or all mega church worship is unbiblical. What it means that it's complicated and it's worth the wrestle. Today's guest is Anna Golden – a worship leader, songwriter, and artist. Anna is a worship leader at Shoreline City Church in Dallas and has a wonderful new worship album out called Just Us. My favorite song on the project is called Uncomplicated – and that's what I wanted to talk with Anna about. In what ways have we complicated worship individually and corporately? What are the current tensions within the worship industry? We discuss tools and tips for worship leaders. And as a bonus, we both talk about our background as homeschoolers raised in the church and how that has shaped who we are today. Topics Covered: The oddities of growing up homeschooled Anna’s faith tradition growing up Valuable skills worship leaders learn from Pentecostal traditions What my homeschool journey looked like The tension of ministry and money The story behind Anna’s new record How we complicate faith and following Jesus Resources Mentioned: Show Sponsor: Dwell Bible (use link for 50% off) Show Sponsor: Planning Center Just Us by Anna Golden Show Sponsor: Dwell Bible This episode is brought to you by dwell bible app. In our busy lives finding quiet moments to read the Bible can be challenging.

Jason Longshore and Noel White team up for a full Intersection crossover edition of Atlanta Soccer Tonight, one week before the 2026 FIFA World Cup kicks off. The show breaks down what the US 3-0 win over Senegal revealed about Mauricio Pochettino's squad, which teams in Group D pose the biggest threat to the US, and the Matt Turner vs. Matt Freese goalkeeper debate heading into Saturday's match against Germany. Jason and Noel dig into the best kits of the tournament, from Japan and Mexico to the US home and away, plus the Adidas Originals x Thrasher Argentina collab and Jordan Brand's work with Brazil. The Three-Four-Three covers the three youngest players in the tournament, Liverpool's new manager Andoni Iriola, Japan's training camp drama in Monterrey, the wild ongoing saga of John Textor and Botafogo, and the visa situation that nearly kept Switzerland striker Breel Embolo out of the World Cup. Stoppage time goes deep on Atlanta's World Cup infrastructure, the NWSL's opportunity this summer, the legacy of the 1994 World Cup, and the very important question of what an Atlanta NWSL team should be called.
