What should I do to it, to make it last? I do want it to remain functional, even after a cleaning, not necessarily straight off the wall, and it has wooden parts. Not sure if that makes any difference in regards to oils etc. Thanks lady-boys. Question from Jeremy from Nebraska Jeremy from Nebraska.

Oku ke fefe hake? Today, travel medicine specialist Dr. Chris Sanford talks with emergency medicine physician and toxicologist Dr. Richard Clark about things that bite and sting! Questions include:Where in the US is the risk highest for black widow bites?What activities would put someone at elevated risk for a spider bite?Let's talk about scorpions. Scorpions scare the hell out of me. I'm told that the stings are incredibly painful. In the world, and in the US, where are these a threat?Let's talk about bees. Are they a worldwide issue?After a bee sting, how many folks will develop symptoms affecting the entire body?If someone has had severe symptoms in response to a bee sting—such as swelling, or trouble breathing—how should they prepare for potential future stings?How much time does someone have, with a severe reaction, before they reach an emergency room?In the US do you need a doctor's rx for an epi-pen?How often should it be replaced?How do beekeepers avoid getting bee stings, and developing allergies to bees?Where do people need to be concerned about venomous ants.What can someone do to reduce the risk of ant stings?After an ant sting, what's the best in-the-field treatment?Should we all be like Indiana Jones and avoid all snakes? Where in the world do we need to be concerned about poisonout snakes?There's a little poem that purports to describe the risk of being bitten by a coral snake, it goes Red on yellow, kill a fellow; red on black, friend of Jack (or "venom lack"). Is that accurate?Suppose someone is hiking in rattlesnake county, and a rattlesnake bites them. What can they do prior to reaching an emergency room? (And what about the cowboy "cut and suck" approach?)Is there benefit—potential protection—by wearing thick boots?And, with a hiking pole, what can I do with leaves, or other stuff on the trail, if anythingHow fast is a snake's striking speed? And how far can they strike?Sometimes people ask me if they should carry antivenom with them?

I also cover the biggest announcements from Image, Skybound, Dark Horse, IDW, Oni Press, Archie, BOOM!

This week, the Pop Culture Historians tackle a movie so big, we needed a third to help us out! Katie Stebbins joins us to break down SPIDER-MAN 3, a much-maligned movie that still has a lot to offer (beautiful performances from Kirsten Dunst and Thomas Hayden Church), even when it's deeply weird (all the Venom stuff). Is the pie still so good? Listen and find out!

Read transcriptLet's talk about Spider-Man 3, the movie where Sam Raimi looked at “menacing single antagonist” and said no thank you, I would like three, please, and also I would like Peter Parker to dance down the street like he's auditioning for a jazz-hands cult. It's a movie that tried to do everything, mostly succeeded at doing too much, and somehow still made enough money that Activision looked at it and thought: yes, this deserves not one video game, but two, spread across seven different consoles, so that literally nobody in 2007 could escape it. Ambitious! Chaotic! Extremely on brand for the source material! See, there's the fancy version, built by Treyarch for PS3, Xbox 360, and PC, where you get a whole open Manhattan to swing around in and the black suit shows up only when the story deems you emotionally ready for it, very mature, very earned. And then there's the completely different budget cousin, built by Vicarious Visions for PS2, Wii, PSP, GBA, and DS, where you can slap the black suit on whenever you feel like being a jerk, the Wii Remote gets to pretend it's a web-shooter, and the DS throws the D-pad in the trash entirely so you can beat up Sandman by poking a touchscreen like it owes you money. Same cover art. Same villains. Practically strangers. Swinging in to help me sort out how many wildly different versions of one questionable movie a single franchise can generate is Harry Steele, co-host of Games on Film, the podcast where he and his brother Rory spend their days grading movies based on video games! Which means Harry has built an entire professional skillset around asking “did Hollywood mess this up,” and today, for one glorious episode, we get to point that same energy directly back at a video game and ask if it managed to mess up the movie right back. Poetic justice! Content symmetry! Whatever you want to call it, it's happening! So grab whichever suit you're feeling today, pick a console, any console, apparently they all made their own decisions, and let's find out if the Spider-Man 3 games handled three villains and seven platforms with any more finesse than the movie handled three villains and one dance number. Learn such things as: How similar do games have to be in order to have the same title? Do movie tie in games really need to care about what happened in the movie? Isn't Spidey supposed to have friends? And so much more! You can find Harry on BlueSky @onlymanwhocan and of course his podcast Games on Film.

We go back to the Crawlspace archives for this 2008 interview with writer David Michelinie. He had one of the longest run on Amazing Spider-Man. He co-created Venom and Carnage. He also worked with artist Todd McFarlane, Erik Larsen and Mark Bagley in the 1980s and 1990s. Before tackling Spider-Man he had an incredible run on Iron Man. He gave Tony Stark a drinking problem and a best friend in Jim Rhodes.  Are you a Crawlspace patreon member?

“How many people do you think go into a bar and say: ‘I'd like an Everclear on the rocks, please…'?”   Looking back, 1997 seems utterly surreal…   To put things in perspective, 1997 marked the debut of South Park on Comedy Central, the release of Radiohead's breakthrough, third album, OK Computer, the beginning of the final season of Seinfeld, and (of course) the arrival of Metallica's conclusion to The Loads with Reload.   Perhaps one of the most surreal (and tragic) parts of 1997 was the time a bunch of children in a band called Hanson went viral with a song called MMMBop while a lesser known, criminally underrated, and FAR SUPERIOR band (with an extremely similar sounding name, consisting of former members of Helmet & Quicksand) called Handsome released their one (and only) album, Handsome, earlier that same year.     Sometimes life is just too weird and utterly unfair…   It's time to discover the power of “a better magical piece of paper” that is not a college degree and understand that whenever someone uses the term ‘dating' that “we know exactly what they're talking about”.    Find out who “stayed metal the whole time”, who was “chuggin' the D”, and who wasn't going to metal shows “unless it was Metallica” when you JOIN US as we go back in time almost 30 years with THE CLASS OF 1997.

This week, Tommy is joined by actor Michael Mando who is finally returning to the MCU as Scorpion in Spiderman: Brand New Day. You may know Michael from his unforgettable performances as Nacho Varga in Better Call Saul and Far Cry 3, but he is picking up the pieces from his cameo in Spiderman: Homecoming and returning to the role of Mac Gargan/Scorpion in what has been a highly anticipated return. Today, Michael opens up about if he knew he would be returning back to the MCU when he signed on to play Scorpion almost 10 years ago, that scene of his cut from Spiderman: Homecoming, the moment that Scorpion made him feel petrified, what playing a villain in the MCU means to him, why he loved working with Tom Holland, what it was like watching him transform into Spiderman up close, the training involved in playing Scorpion, why community is so important when filming a movie like this, if he’s heard anything about Scorpion eventually turning into Venom, his personal connection to Venom as both a kid and adult, voicing Bane in Batman: Knightfall - Part 1, how he helped shape the actual animation of this character, joining Kevin Hart in 72 Hours on Netflix, his unconventional journey towards becoming an actor, if he would reprise his role in a Better Call Saul reboot, why rejection has fueled him even harder over the years, what he will never say to you and so much more.

In this episode of the Observatory Podcast, Scott and LaRae Wright sit down for a short, intimate conversation about prayer—not as a rule-bound ritual, but as a living practice shaped by words, intention, gratitude, and alignment. They unpack how prayer can evolve beyond fear-based asking, and why the language we use—internally and out loud—can land as either medicine or venom. If you've ever felt conflicted about prayer, spirituality, or how to “talk to the Divine,” this episode offers a grounded reframe you can actually use.Timestamps[00:00:18] Scott introduces the topic: prayer (and why this conversation may surprise you)[00:01:20] Setting the scene: a quiet Sunday afternoon, post–Valentine's Day reflections[00:04:39] Scott shares a moment from his men's group that sparked this episode[00:08:39] What prayer meant growing up: structure, habit, and fear-based “asking”[00:10:07] When prayer feels like a ritual—or a task—instead of communication[00:13:30] Reframing prayer: intention, energy, and how words shape experience[00:19:34] Gratitude as a shared frequency: how prayer can create resonance[00:20:58] Scott reads a prayer that shifted his relationship with “prayer language”[00:24:39] “Toxic positivity”: when words sound good but aren't aligned underneath[00:29:20] The line that hits: “no venom passes my lips” and why it matters[00:30:16] Venom as poison: what words can do once they're released[00:34:46] Emotional regulation, balance, and not getting stuck in heavy energy[00:39:05] Closing takeaway: your words are either venom or medicineNotable Quotes“It felt more like a ritual or maybe a task. Task that I had to do.” – Scott Wright [10:07]“Well, it creates a resonance like a song would. Those words create a resonance.” – LaRae Wright [19:48]“So no venom passes my lips and no destruction results from my speech.” – Scott Wright [21:50]“That venom is like poison. It's not retractable.” – Scott Wright [30:16]“Just everyone pay attention to your words. Pay attention to whether they are venom or medicine.” – Scott Wright [39:05]Relevant links:Subscribe to the podcast: Apple PodcastProduced by NC Productions

Tim and Frank take on a deceptively simple question: is Spider-Man actually a street-level superhero?

Episode 1006 uses the beloved 1990 teen rebellion movie "Pump Up the Volume" to ask a deeper question: what happens when you take "Truth is a virus" and unrestricted free speech into the real world, where the fascists aren't outsiders trying to break in—they're already running the show? Driftglass and Blue Gal trace the death of the Fairness Doctrine in 1987 through the rise of Hate Radio, Gingrich's language wars, Citizens United, and the collapse of every institution that was supposed to protect democracy from tyranny. The episode explains why lying became profitable, why corporate media's "Both Sides" obsession taught citizens that democracy was somebody else's job, and why an uninformed public is the only thing tyranny has ever needed. It's about how free speech got inverted, and why the FCC villain in a 1990 teen movie may have been onto something after all.Links for this episode: The movie “Pump Up The Volume” (1990) is streaming ($) on Amazon Video, Apple TV Store, and Fandango At Home.  Clips are available on YouTube.  Music from the “Pump Up The Volume” soundtrack can be found at this YouTube playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjDvaXwceFJTg_uhw4cymaJGtBdJZT7OJ&si=RxUS9h7X1OeGsbY2 Music clips from this episode: Was Not Was:  Dad, I'm In Jail   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MZKkz4xefk Above the Law: Freedom of Speech  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q338zPrnwGw The movie “Pump Up The Volume” (1990) is streaming ($) on Amazon Video, Apple TV Store, and Fandango At Home.  Clips are available on YouTube.  Driftglass on other podcasts!   Nicole Sandler   https://nicolesandler.com/7-8-26/ Stay in Touch! Email: proleftpodcast@gmail.com Website: proleftpod.com Support via Patreon: patreon.com/proleftpod or Donate in the Venmo App @proleftpodMail: The Professional Left, PO Box 9133, Springfield, Illinois, 62791Support the show

Welcome to Day 2900 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2900 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 140:1-13 Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2900 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2900 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. The title for today's Wisdom-Trek is: Shielded from the Serpent's Venom – The Cosmic Courtroom of King Yahweh In our previous expeditions through the majestic heights of the Book of Psalms, we rested in the transcendent sanctuary of Psalm One Hundred Thirty-Nine. We marveled at the staggering, intimate reality of God's complete omniscience and omnipresence, celebrating how He meticulously knit us together in the secret places of the earth, and how His protective hand continuously hems us in from behind and before. But as we step onto a brand-new mountain pass today, moving directly into Psalm One Hundred Forty, verses one through thirteen, the spiritual scenery shifts with dramatic, jarring intensity. We are descending from the quiet, beautiful mountaintop of divine contemplation, straight into the muddy, dangerous trenches of earthly and cosmic warfare. David reminds us quite vividly that while we are perfectly known and perfectly secure in the eyes of our Creator, we still must navigate a deeply broken, highly hostile wilderness, populated by those who actively align themselves with the forces of chaos and destruction. The first segment is:The Venom of Deception: Verbal Warfare in the Cosmic Realm Let us open our ears to the opening movements of this desperate prayer, as recorded in the New Living Translation, grouping together the logical thoughts found in verse one, verse two, and verse three. O Lord, rescue me from evil people. Protect me from those who are violent. Those who plot evil in their hearts and stir up trouble all day long. Their tongues sting like a snake; the venom of a viper drips from their lips. In this opening cry, David wastes absolutely no time exposing the terrifying nature of the adversaries who have surrounded his life. He pleads, “O Lord, rescue me from evil people. Protect me from those who are violent.” But notice carefully how David defines this violence; he does not immediately point to unsheathed swords, or marching infantries. Instead, he unmasks the internal architecture of their malice, explaining that they plot evil in their hearts, stir up trouble all day long, and weaponize their words, making their tongues sting like a snake, while the venom of a viper drips from their lips. To fully appreciate the gravity of these verses, we must view them through the fascinating lens of the Ancient Israelite divine-council worldview. In the ancient Near East, words were never viewed as merely empty acoustic vibrations floating harmlessly through the air. Words were seen as potent, concrete extensions of spiritual reality, possessing the power to either bless and uphold cosmic order, or curse and unleash primordial chaos. When David describes his enemies as plotting evil in their hidden hearts, he is revealing that they are operating as human agents for the rebellious, unseen spiritual principalities who rule the dark corners of the globe. Furthermore, the striking imagery of the snake and the viper's venom carries a massive theological echo. It deliberately transports the ancient Israelite mind all the way back to the garden of Eden, back to the nachash—the deceptive, shining serpent who was a rebellious member of God's heavenly host. That original spiritual rebel did not overthrow humanity through physical violence; he overthrew humanity through the subtle, poisonous corruption of his words, whispering deceptive lies that fractured the cosmic order of Yahweh. David is declaring that the wicked people surrounding him are speaking the native, venomous language of the serpent, attempting to inject spiritual poison into the social, political, and spiritual life of God's covenant community. The second segment is: Hidden Snares Along the Trail: The Strategy of the Proud The narrative of David's struggle continues to unfold as he links his logical thoughts together in verse four and verse five, mapping out the covert operations of his predators. O Lord, keep me out of the hands of the wicked. Protect me from those who are violent, for they are plotting against me. These proud people have set a trap to catch me. They have stretched out a net along the pathway and spread traps in my path. David intensifies his petition, crying out, “O Lord, keep me out of the hands of the wicked. Protect me from those who are violent, for they are plotting against me.” He then uses the vivid vocabulary of an ancient wilderness hunter, describing how these proud people have set a trap, stretched out a massive net along the pathway, and spread hidden snares directly in his path. This section beautifully illustrates the treacherous nature of our spiritual and earthly journey. Our adversaries rarely launch their assaults out in the open where they can be easily anticipated. Instead, like a calculated hunter tracking prey through the brush, they rely on covert manipulation, gaslighting, and invisible entrapment. They wait until we are walking along our normal, daily pathway, and then they attempt to trip us into a compromise, or trap us in a web of false accusations. Notice that David specifically identifies these engineers of chaos as “proud people.” In the biblical worldview, pride is not just a psychological trait; it is a profound cosmic posture. To be proud means to actively refuse to submit to the sovereign rule of Yahweh, mimicking the original pride of the fallen cosmic rulers who erroneously believed they could usurp the authority of the Most High. These proud human adversaries set traps for David because they believe they can successfully operate outside of God's moral boundaries, tracking down and devouring the righteous without ever being held accountable by the cosmic court of heaven. The third segment is: Appealing to the Supreme Magistrate of Heaven Faced with venomous lips and hidden nets, David does not attempt to fight fire with fire, nor does he rely on his own military strategic brilliance. Instead, he enters the celestial courtroom, combining his urgent thoughts in verse six, verse seven, and verse eight. I said to the Lord, “You are my God!” Listen, O Lord, to my cries for mercy! O Sovereign Lord, the strong one who rescued me, you protected me on the day of battle. Lord, do not give in to their evil desires. Do not let their evil plots succeed, or they will become proud. David plants his feet firmly on covenant ground, declaring directly to the Almighty, “You are my God! Listen, O Lord, to my cries for mercy!” He appeals to Him as the Sovereign Lord, the strong one who rescued him, and the one who served as a protective helmet over his head on the day of intense battle. He begs the King, “Lord, do not give in to their evil desires. Do not let their evil plots succeed, or they will become proud.” This is a breathtaking masterclass in spiritual legal procedure. In the ancient world, when a weaker vassal was attacked by a hostile, lawless force, his only hope was to appeal to his high suzerain—the great king who had sworn a covenant oath to protect him. David bypasses all localized earthly authorities and goes straight to the ultimate Judge of the divine council. He uses the specific, sacred names of God—Yahweh and Adonai—reminding the Creator of their unique, binding relationship. By calling God “the strong one who rescued me,” David is looking backward at his historical track record of deliverance, recalling how Yahweh previously protected his head from the physical and spiritual arrows of his enemies on the field of conflict. David knows that if the Sovereign Lord allows these deceptive, serpentine plots to succeed, it will cause these wicked people—and the rebel spiritual powers backing them—to boast that they have successfully outmaneuvered the cosmic King. Therefore, David's prayer is not merely a plea for personal survival; it is an appeal for the public vindication of God's supreme authority over the forces of lawlessness. The fourth segment is: The Law of Reciprocity: Chaos Devouring Itself The psalm now transitions into an incredibly intense, imprecatory phase, where David outlines the divine retribution he desires to see fall upon his tormentors. Let us listen to these heavy words in...
