In 1999, a young US Secret Service special agent is assigned to the counterfeit squad in Chicago, Illinois. Aside from dignitary protection, one of the agencies' roles is to investigate counterfeiting. Across the Midwest, someone is spending up big with $100 counterfeit notes. The level of skill, expertise, and execution required to break the most secure and sophisticated note in the history of the US Treasury is equal parts impressive and intimidating. But the con can't last forever. In episode (insert number), Jac and Alexis detail the life and crimes of Arthur ‘Art' J Williams Jr, whose journey from street crime to becoming the top currency counterfeiter in the country brought him face to face with Special Agent Brad Beeler. This two-part story shows how two men from opposite sides of the law can come to develop respect for each other as they each make their way to the top of their chosen careers, and how redemption is never too late.

Book Talk for BookTok with Jac & Amy treats your favorite BookTok novels, romance and romantasy, like literature. We bring real tools of analysis (themes, imagery, symbolism, character arcs) through two lenses: Feminist (gender roles, power, agency, archetypes) and Marxist (class, labor, capital, institutions). Same rigor as a lit class, more jokes, less homework. Two episodes weekly: Tuesday = Analysis • Thursday = Listener Thoughts on Breadcrumbs & Broomsticks. Spoilers: Today covers Heir of Fire Ch. 36–42 with context from earlier Throne of Glass books. Anything beyond these chapters (or other SJM works) is saved for Thursday. Chapter Summary When Chaol and Aedion seek information from soldiers who once guarded the mysterious fortresses that activated the night magic vanished, Chaol turns to Dorian for support—only to be confronted with brutal honesty. Dorian calls him out for abandoning his friends when they needed him most, and Aedion delivers a similar blow, accusing Chaol of clinging to neutrality like a child too afraid to choose a side. High in the Ferian Gap, Manon and the Thirteen train relentlessly with their wyverns, but Abraxos's fragile wings cannot withstand the Crossing. Determined to save her mount, Manon seeks spider silk from the deadly Stygian spiders, but even reinforced, Abraxos hesitates at the edge of the chasm, and when Iskra lashes him to spark a fight, Manon's fury reveals just how fiercely she has come to care for her wyvern. In Wendlyn, Celaena and Rowan grow closer as their walls finally begin to crack. But during the Beltane celebrations, when Celaena reaches the edge of magical and emotional burnout, the truth she's held onto erupts. Rowan is confronted with a devastating revelation—Maeve lied to him about Aelin, and his own cruelty toward Celaena has only deepened her wounds. In the ashes of this truth, Rowan must reckon with who he has been… and who he must become to stand beside the rightful Queen of Terrasen.

In this episode of The Entrepreneur Experiment, Gary Fox sits down with Jac Dunne, CEO of Dimply, an AI-powered financial experience platform that's quietly reshaping how banks, insurers and wealth managers serve their customers. After almost three decades in legacy finance, Jac made a bold move in her mid-50s into regtech and then fintech, “bookending” her career by building the kind of technology she always wished existed inside the big institutions. She breaks down what Dimply actually does in plain English, how it powers hyper-personalised journeys inside apps like AIB's, and why the future of money will be a hybrid of human advice and seamless digital experiences. Jac also opens up about leaving a senior corporate role where her voice wasn't being heard, taking on a startup CEO role, scaling a remote-first team, and building practical programmes to get more women and students into tech. If you're a founder, operator or leader trying to scale something meaningful and still have a life outside of work, this conversation is packed with insight. Show Notes: In this episode, we cover:
In September 2001, a 14-year-old high school freshman fails to come home after a night out with friends in Cantonment, Florida. As detectives begin searching for her, a troubling picture emerges - one involving older men, threats, and details her mother waited days to reveal. With each revelation, the focus shifts from assumptions of a runaway to something far more alarming. But with no sign of her anywhere, charges remain elusive. As the case stalls, her older sister begins her own investigation, stepping into the role their mother never fulfilled. In episode 380, Jac and Alexis explore the disappearance and suspected murder of Danielle Bell, and her sister Bonnie's decades-long mission to uncover the truth.
Champagne and Bullets (1993) was chosen by JAC, who has a real talent for uncovering the most outrageous, bewildering, and unintentionally hilarious films ever committed to VHS. Written, directed, produced, and starring John De Hart, the movie is one of the most unique vanity projects of the early '90s - a full-throttle explosion of action, romance, country music, and courtroom drama held together by sheer force of ego. De Hart, a California trial lawyer with big Hollywood ambitions, financed the film himself and assembled a cast that included Wings Hauser and William Smith, two cult icons of low-budget action cinema. Shooting took place around Los Angeles on a shoestring budget, with much of the film's tone shaped by De Hart's insistence on performing his own music, writing his own poetry, and choreographing his own dance numbers.The production quickly became infamous behind the scenes for its chaotic mix of genres, improvised sequences, and the cast's varying levels of investment. Wings Hauser, in particular, was reportedly encouraged to “just go for it,” resulting in some of the film's most legendary moments — including his drunken, half-ad-libbed musical performance that has since become a cult highlight. The movie went through several edits and re-releases, most notably the 2013 version titled Road to Revenge, before the original cut was restored and championed by boutique labels and cult film festivals. Today, Champagne and Bullets stands as a gleefully bizarre testament to what happens when one man attempts to make the ultimate action movie entirely on his own terms - a glorious disaster that's now celebrated as a cult gem for all the wrong (and therefore absolutely right) reasons.If you enjoy the show, we have a Patreon, so become a supporter here.Referral links also help out the show if you were going to sign up:NordVPNNordPassTrailer Guy Plot SummaryGet ready for justice… John De Hart style.When corruption runs wild and the system breaks down, one man steps forward - armed with a badge, a guitar, and absolutely no self-awareness. In a world of betrayal, bullets, and baffling dance numbers, he'll fight for truth, love, and the right to perform his own country ballads… no matter how long it takes.Champagne and Bullets - where the action is loud, the romance is awkward, and the hero is whoever John De Hart says he is.Fun FactsChampagne and Bullets was originally released in 1993, but due to rights issues and re-editing by John De Hart, it was later reissued under two different titles: Road to Revenge and GetEven.The film gained cult status largely thanks to Internet rediscovery in the 2000s.Actor Wings Hauser improvised much of his performance, including the infamous barroom musical number, which has since become a viral cult-movie highlight.John De Hart wrote and performed all the original songs in the movie, including “Shimmy Slide,” which has achieved meme-level notoriety online.The “Shimmy Slide” dance sequence was filmed in a real Sherman Oaks bar, using actual patrons as background extras.Cult actor William Smith shot his scenes in just a few days due to scheduling constraints.John De Hart's background as a trial lawyer inspired several scenes meant to showcase his courtroom skills, which fans now consider unintentionally comedic.Boutique label Vinegar Syndrome restored and re-released the film in 2020, using a new 2K scan that finally preserved De Hart's original wild vision.thevhsstrikesback@gmail.comhttps://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback
As promessas de Deus referentes a este advento vêm desde Gênesis 3:15. Um bebê numa manjedoura concretiza essa promessa. Por toda a Escritura e ao longo do tempo, Deus aponta para o dia glorioso da vinda de Jesus. Tudo o que resulta de sua vinda — todas as promessas — é garantido e cumprido. Antes de termos esperança de redenção, estávamos como a descendência de Jacó: cegos, em densas trevas, aflitos e incapazes de discernir o bem do mal. Mas graças a Deus pela sua maravilhosa graça derramada sobre nós. Agora raiou a Luz, e assim podemos responder ao chamado ao arrependimento. “Eu sou a Luz do mundo” (João 8:12) Mais uma vez lembramos da criação: o Criador transforma uma vida de escuridão (uma terra sem forma e vazia) numa vida com propósito, preenchendo-nos com Seu Espírito Santo para sermos orientados pela Sua luz divina — a saber, Jesus Cristo. Reconhecemos em Cristo a salvação. Colhemos onde não plantamos. Portanto, alegremo-nos Nele, que nos sustenta. __ #FAMILIADOSQUECREEM #SERIEAPROMESSADOADVENTO Visite nosso site: http://familiadosquecreem.com Compre nossos livros e produtos: http://familiadosquecreem.com/loja Contribua financeiramente: http://familiadosquecreem.com.br/contribuir Ouça nossas músicas: https://open.spotify.com/artist/6aPdiaGuHcyDVGzvZV4LHy Siga-nos no Instagram: http://instagram.com/familiadosquecreem Curta-nos no Facebook: http://facebook.com/familiadosquecreem Siga-nos no Twitter: http://twitter.com/familiadqc Visite nosso site: http://familiadosquecreem.com Compre nossos livros e produtos: http://familiadosquecreem.com/loja Contribua financeiramente: http://familiadosquecreem.com.br/contribuir Ouça nossas músicas: https://open.spotify.com/artist/6aPdiaGuHcyDVGzvZV4LHy Siga-nos no Instagram: http://instagram.com/familiadosquecreem Curta-nos no Facebook: http://facebook.com/familiadosquecreem Siga-nos no Twitter: http://twitter.com/familiadqc

With wings unfurled, Abraxos takes flight for the first time, carrying Manon into the skies and sealing their bond. Across the sea in Wendlyn, Celaena's fragile connection with Rowan begins to fracture when Gavriel's arrival rekindles Rowan's old loyalties. Insecure, Celaena's outburst spirals into another wave of despair that leaves her isolated within Mistward. But even Rowan isn't immune to rebuke, when Emrys confronts him for his cruelty, Rowan seeks redemption the only way he knows: through rigorous training. During a training exercise gone wrong, a monstrous creature rises from the depths, forcing Celaena to unleash her fury, not at the beast, but at Rowan himself. In the aftermath, both are stripped bare, sharing their deepest griefs and choosing, at last, to face the pain together. This week's guiding question: In what ways are Celaena and Rowan developing in this series of chapters — and does this moment mark the beginning of true evolution, or just a temporary truce between two broken people?

Neste episódio, refletimos sobre o tempo de angústia profetizado na Bíblia e aprofundado pelos escritos do Espírito de Profecia, olhando para os quatro tempos de angústia (1260 anos, decreto dominical, fechamento da porta da graça e tempo de angústia de Jacó) e para os quatro grupos espirituais que se formam nos últimos dias: fanatismo, liberalismo, indiferentismo e o cristianismo verdadeiro.A partir de textos como Deuteronômio 30 e das mensagens de livros como Caminho a Cristo e O Grande Conflito, o sermão mostra que o centro da preparação para o tempo do fim (end time, time of trouble) não é o medo do decreto dominical, mas um recomeço real com Cristo, pela graça, equilibrando discernimento espiritual e vida prática.Você vai ouvir apelos fortes à juventude, alertas sobre os perigos do liberalismo “não tem nada a ver”, do legalismo fanático e da indiferença espiritual, além do testemunho comovente de uma jovem no Marrocos que, através da pregação online, deixou o mundo e descobriu o cristianismo verdadeiro em Jesus.Alguns temas abordados neste episódio:O que são os quatro tempos de angústia e por que o maior ainda está à nossa frente.Decreto dominical, fechamento da porta da graça e o tempo de angústia de Jacó.A diferença entre fanatismo, liberalismo, indiferentismo e cristianismo verdadeiro.Como o Espírito Santo nos dá equilíbrio para permanecer de pé no tempo do fim.O chamado bíblico de “escolher a vida” (Deuteronômio 30) para nós, hoje.Reavivamento e reforma, leitura de Caminho a Cristo e confiança no Espírito de Profecia.Um apelo direto para jovens, casais, famílias e toda a igreja recomeçarem com Jesus.Palavras-chave incluídas: tempo de angústia, fim dos tempos, decreto dominical, sábado, Espírito de Profecia, Ellen White, Grande Conflito, reavivamento e reforma, juventude adventista, cristianismo verdadeiro, Adventist preaching, Sabbath, Spirit of Prophecy, end time message, revival and reformation.
Homilia Padre Reinaldo Satiro, IVE:Evangelho de Jesus Cristo segundo Mateus 8,5-11Naquele tempo,quando Jesus entrou em Cafarnaum,um oficial romano aproximou-se dele, suplicando:"Senhor, o meu empregado está de cama, lá em casa,sofrendo terrivelmente com uma paralisia".Jesus respondeu: "Vou curá-lo".O oficial disse: "Senhor,eu não sou digno de que entres em minha casa.Dize uma só palavra e o meu empregado ficará curado.Pois eu também sou subordinadoe tenho soldados debaixo de minhas ordens.E digo a um : 'Vai!', e ele vai;e a outro: 'Vem!', e ele vem;e digo ao meu escravo: 'Faze isto!', e ele faz".Quando ouviu isso, Jesus ficou admirado,e disse aos que o seguiam:"Em verdade, vos digo:nunca encontrei em Israel alguém que tivesse tanta fé.Eu vos digo:muitos virão do Oriente e do Ocidente,e se sentarão à mesa no Reino dos Céus,junto com Abraão, Isaac e Jacó".Palavra da Salvação.

Book Talk for BookTok with Jac & Amy treats your favorite BookTok novels, romance and romantasy, like literature. We bring real tools of analysis (themes, imagery, symbolism, character arcs) to your favorite books. Two episodes weekly: Tuesday = Analysis Thursday = Listener Thoughts and breadcrumbs Spoilers: Today covers Heir of Fire with context from earlier Throne of Glass books. Anything beyond these first three books (or other SJM works) is saved for Thursday. Chapters covered: 26–31 Episode summary Across Wendlyn, Aelin Galathynius finally starts mastering her Fae form—sharpened senses, hard-won control, and a flicker of joy she didn't think she deserved. While Rowan Whitethorn pushes her training into something almost playful, their investigation into brutal village killings drags Aelin back into the question she keeps dodging: is she truly becoming herself, or just learning a new disguise to survive? In Rifthold, Chaol Westfall and Aedion Ashryver search Celaena's hidden apartment, a shrine to the girl she was and the queen she tried to bury. The discovery deepens their uneasy alliance with Ren Allsbrook and Murtaugh, but that partnership is tested fast when the King of Adarlan's secret guard hunts them through the slums. As they dodge black-clad predators and face the cost of rebellion, Chaol's “protector” instincts collide with reality, forcing him to decide whether he's growing or just repeating the same patterns in a new key. Meanwhile, Dorian Havilliard and Sorscha work to suppress his volatile magic. One small act of control sparks a kiss that could destroy them both. And high in the Ferian Gap, Manon Blackbeak tries to forge Abraxos into the weapon her world demands: iron spikes, iron teeth, iron will. But Abraxos refuses the script. His gentleness, fear, and stubborn survival force Manon to confront a terrifying possibility: maybe strength isn't dominance. Maybe it's partnership. Her desperate attempt to make him fly ends in a brutal fall that changes both of them, marking the first real crack in the empire that built her. This week's question Are Aelin, Chaol, and Dorian actually growing in Heir of Fire—or are they repeating old patterns under new disguises, and calling it progress?

It's time for another LadyGang Trivia Throwdown, and this round is Becca vs. Jac in a battle of brains, pop culture, and pure chaos. Can they name all the Harry Potter books in order? Do they know what Beyoncé really carries in her bag? And who can actually define what a “simp” is without sounding like someone's mom on TikTok? The stakes get higher when the ultimate question drops: which man is Taylor Swift's “All Too Well” really about? Will Becca's useless celebrity knowledge reign supreme, or will Jac's unhinged confidence finally pay off? With Keltie hosting (and judging) with her usual mix of bias and glitter, this trivia showdown might just go down in LadyGang history.Check out our fall deals!!Ollie: Your pet needs good food!

This Thursday, we dive into listener theories and full-series foreshadowing for Heir of Fire Ch. 21–25, where Aelin's wildfire erupts, Manon chooses Abraxos in the pit, and Dorian overhears the secret that shatters everything. Jac and Amy read through your thoughts on Aelin's near-death escape from the skinwalkers, Rowan's “you'd be more useful dead” comment, and the messy emotional undercurrent of their first real moment of trust. We dig into theories about what wildfire actually signals in SJM's magic system, the deeper significance of Rowan calling her Aelin, and whether the skinwalkers connect to later Wyrd-soldier lore. We also unpack your takes on Manon and Abraxos, their instant, furious, reluctant bond, and how this moment rewrites Manon's understanding of power, ownership, and partnership. And of course, we get into the catacombs scene: Chaol's confession, Aedion's hunger for the blood oath, and Dorian's icy heartbreak when he realizes everyone has been keeping Aelin's identity from him. Full spoilers through the end of Heir of Fire and light references to later Throne of Glass books.

It began as a familiar face from high school, someone she once trusted. But over thirteen years, that connection twisted into something far darker. No matter how many times he was arrested or how long he was behind bars, he always came back.

It's another round of Allegedly… What's Happening?! and the ladies are deep in the gossip trenches. This week, they're unpacking Katy Perry's mysterious new relationship, Jessica Simpson's unapologetic thirst for younger men, and the dark new season of Selling Sunset that has everyone wondering if the cast needs a group exorcism or just a better therapist.Meanwhile, Meghan Markle might be headed back to Hollywood, and Keltie has thoughts (and probably a spray tan) about it. Jac spills on her latest entrepreneurial adventure — launching her mail company (yes, actual mail, not male… though that's TBD). And in a shocking twist, Becca gets “cancelled” for a red carpet moment gone wrong — but was it really her fault, or just another day in the world of public scrutiny and polyester blends?It's pop culture chaos, LadyGang confessions, and just enough unhinged commentary to make you say, “Allegedly…”Check out our fall deals!!Willie's: Try Willie Nelson's THC Infused Social Tonic!

Book Talk for BookTok with Jac & Amy treats your favorite BookTok novels, romance and romantasy, like literature. We bring real tools of analysis (themes, imagery, symbolism, character arcs) through two lenses: Feminist (gender roles, power, agency, archetypes) and Marxist (class, labor, capital, institutions). Same rigor as a lit class, more jokes, less homework. Two episodes weekly: Tuesday = Analysis • Thursday = Listener Thoughts on Breadcrumbs & Broomsticks. Spoilers: Today covers Heir of Fire Ch. 21–25 with context from earlier Throne of Glass books. Anything beyond these chapters (or other SJM works) is saved for Thursday. Chapters covered: 21–25 Episode summary Celaena finally shifts into her fae form, but Rowan's dominance doesn't sit well with her, and she leaves Mistward when he pushes her too far. Though she initially is grateful to have left, she finds herself hunted by skinwalkers and without proper weapons. Rowan swoops in to save her, but it's when Celaena unleashes her wildfire that they finally gain the upper hand. It's the day Manon has been waiting for, but before she can claim Titus as her mount, she must face off with him in the pit. When she realizes that Titus only sees her as prey and realizes the bait beast wants to take Titus out with her, Manon joins forces with the bait beast to kill Titus, and she claims Abraxos as her own. Chaol brings Aedion up to speed about the source of the King of Adarlan's dark power, unaware that Dorian overhears – and feels the sting of betrayal. Meanwhile, Rowan takes Celaena on a field trip to investigate murders in nearby villages, and they burn the body of the latest victim before returning home. This week's question Why are none of the characters honest with themselves or with each other—and what does that selective honesty reveal about power, ownership, and survival in Heir of Fire?

Welcome back to Monday morning, where Bubbles' Mushrooms reigns supreme. This week's special surprise guest host is Anthony who's never guest hosted before. We start off talking about Katie's love of tentacles (as always), gauge Anthony's viewership of the show, selling drugs, Fox News and the world of Information Technology. We remember that Renee orders peanuts on the computer, Edward teaches us about piracy, we delve back into the terrifying world of the demonic Hugga Bunch, Jac talks about being afraid of Teddy Ruxpin, Maggie got sprayed by a skunk again, Edward gives us the South Dakota hot babe report and Anthony tells us a great computer story about dead people. This week's sweet game starts with a softball - and that means Edward is hosting! We talk about triangle boobs and cannibalism and explosions. What kind of game could this be? It's video games or action movies or serial killers. See how smart we are this week only on Bubbles' Mushrooms. Email the show at bubbmush@gmail.com / Follow us on all the socials @bubbmush

@igrejakyrios | Igreja Evangélica Kyrios - Série: Presença de Deus Culto do dia 16.11.2025 no período da Manhã - 9HGênesis 28:10-22O Pr. Klaus nos conduz a uma reflexão sobre a Percepção da Presença de Deus, baseada na história de Jacó.Em meio à correria, distrações e pressões da vida, muitas vezes não percebemos que Deus está presente — mesmo nos momentos de transição, incerteza e angústia.Assim como Jacó, que fugia sem direção e parou em Betel, somos surpreendidos por Deus em lugares e situações inesperadas. Ali, Jacó sonhou com uma escada que tocava o Céu, viu anjos subindo e descendo, e despertou com uma revelação poderosa:“Sem dúvida, o Senhor está neste lugar, e eu não sabia.”O problema nunca é a ausência de Deus — Ele é onipresente.O desafio é aumentar nossa percepção e consciência da Sua presença no passado, no presente e no futuro.Quando essa percepção cresce, nossa vida espiritual é transformada: nasce em nós temor, gratidão, sensibilidade e direção.Às vezes, Deus permite momentos difíceis justamente para nos despertar, remover distrações e abrir nossos olhos para o que Ele já está fazendo.Que essa palavra te leve a viver uma nova dimensão da presença de Deus na sua caminhada.Compartilhe com alguém que precisa de uma palavra...Ouça nossas músicas autorais!Meu Lugar - https://youtu.be/htZ9wZZryaMMinha Adoração - https://youtu.be/6kQtwF0m67kSe conecte conosco!https://portal.igrejakyrios.com.br/fale-conosco/Inscreva-se no nosso canal: www.youtube.com/@igrejakyriosNosso Site: http://www.igrejakyrios.com.brInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/igrejakyrios/

Our Thursday episode is where analysis turns to speculation. In this week's Breadcrumbs & Broomsticks, Jac and Amy read listener thoughts and spiral (responsibly) through Heir of Fire theories, foreshadowing, and SJM's long-game craft. We unpack the moment Rowan's bite forces Aelin's shift, asking what it reveals about mating bonds, fae dominance, and the anatomy of power. We track how SJM mirrors predator imagery between Rowan, Aedion, and Manon, and how that mirroring hints at future alliances. Listener theories dive into: Whether the barrows creature connects to Erawan's shadow army The bite as a precursor to the blood oath Aedion's loyalty vs Chaol's betrayal, and what each says about class and honor How Manon's first flight parallels Aelin's awakening Why the Sword of Orynth might carry more than ancestral weight Full spoilers through the end of Heir of Fire, and light talk of later Throne of Glass books.

On October 12, 2023, a 25-year-old nursing student goes missing while on her lunch break in Macomb Township, Michigan. Her co-workers then receive a series of strange text messages from her cell phone. Less than 12 hours after the abduction, she's found at a gas station in Illinois, shot to death. The following day, law enforcement receives a tip from a couple. Their 26-year-old son admits to the shocking murder before telling his parents he intends to commit one final act of violence. Authorities locate the killer and close in, hoping to take him into custody before anyone else is hurt. In episode 377, Jac and Alexis detail the tragic murder of Gina N. Bryant at the hands of her ex-boyfriend Justin Wendling, and try to make sense of the out of control freight train that is the epidemic of women losing their lives to intimate partner violence.

The ladies also air out the little things that make them irrationally ragey (looking at you, men) and keltie reads a poem.

Spoilers: Today covers Heir of Fire Ch. 14–20 with context from earlier books. Anything beyond these chapters (or other SJM works) is saved for Thursday. Chapters covered: 14–20 Episode summary: Celaena walks into the barrows thinking she can muscle through Rowan's latest torment—but the darkness waiting inside rips her open and drags her back into her most catastrophic memories. Rowan pushes, taunts, pins…and she finally breaks toward the thing she's fought hardest against: revelation. The bite → the roar → the shift. Aelin Galathynius finally emerges. In Rifthold, Chaol bargains, barters, and falls into rebel jaws, revealing Aelin's truth to survive his father's power and Aedion's blade. Dorian's magic ruptures in front of Sorscha, binding them together in a dangerous secret neither of them can afford. And in the mountains, Manon and the Thirteen take flight on wyverns for the first time, finding the piece of themselves that has been missing since the slaughter ten years ago. This week's guiding question: Have we already crossed the inciting incident line in HOF, or is the inciting incident the moment Aelin stops choosing death and finally chooses power?

Welcome back to Breadcrumbs & Broomsticks, the Thursday companion to our Heir of Fire season. This is where we step out of the strict chapter-bound analysis, and step into the theory pit. In this spoiler-friendly episode, Jac and Amy read listener submissions and talk through the biggest discourse moment of these chapters: Rowan punching Aelin. We expand on reader reactions, unpack whether this moment earns its place in the arc, and dig into the foreshadowing this scene plants for their future dynamic, trust, and eventual reversal of power. We also chase down theories tied to: Maeve's manipulation & long game (who benefits from restraint?) the symbolism of mist / cold / the moon-white imagery Manon's wyvern introduction + what that unlocks later Dorian, Sorscha, Chaol, and the political fuse that's already quietly smoldering This is where your thoughts get center stage — from “Rowan was unforgivable here” to “this is deliberate low point arc engineering,” to “SJM is mirroring Aelin/Rowan with Manon/wyverns on purpose.” Full spoilers are allowed for all future Heir of Fire chapters and the rest of the Throne of Glass series. If Tuesday is about what the text is doing, Thursday is where we ask what it's setting up.

In the early morning hours of June 18, 1982, a 20-year-old mother vanishes from her night shift at a Harrisonburg, Virginia gas station, just moments after calling 911 for help. Police arrive within minutes, but she has already been taken. With no signs of struggle and no suspect identified, her case goes cold for decades. Then in 2023, a suspect emerges, bringing the investigation closer to answers than ever before. In episode 376, Jac and Alexis dive into the tragic abduction of Kelly Bergh Dove and the unwavering determination of her family, who refuses to stop fighting for the truth.
This week, the LadyGang welcomes Charlotte Triggs, Editor-in-Chief of PEOPLE magazine, for an exclusive inside look at how the legendary Sexiest Man Alive issue comes together — from the steamy photo shoots to the impossible debates over Hollywood's hottest.
Heir of Fire (Ch. 8–13): Maeve's power games, Rowan's brutal training, wyverns on the horizon, and restraint as craft and character engine. Book Talk for BookTok with Jac & Amy treats your favorite BookTok novels, romance and romantasy, like literature. We bring real tools of analysis (themes, imagery, symbolism, character arcs) through two lenses: Feminist (gender roles, power, agency, archetypes) and Marxist (class, labor, capital, institutions). Same rigor as a lit class, more jokes, less homework. Season format & spoiler policy: Two episodes weekly: Tuesday = Analysis • Thursday = Listener Thoughts on Breadcrumbs & Broomsticks. Spoilers: Today covers Heir of Fire Ch. 8–13 with context from earlier books. Anything beyond these chapters (or other SJM works) is saved for Thursday. Chapters covered: 8–13 Episode summary: Celaena stands before Queen Maeve and finds herself small in the shadow of ancient Fae power. Branded “half-breed” and ordered to master her fire or be discarded, she's thrust into a punishing training pact with Rowan Whitethorn—a partnership born of resentment, sharpened by pride, and, yes, sealed with a well-aimed punch. In Rifthold, Chaol hunts leverage on Aedion Ashryver as Dorian drifts toward quiet refuge with Sorscha. In the mountains, Manon Blackbeak and the Thirteen stalk toward wyverns and the skies that might remake their power. As Celaena's fire stirs, so does the darkness she's tried to bury—testing the line between discipline and self-destruction. This week's guiding question:What role does restraint play in Heir of Fire—both in Celaena's suppressed power and in SJM's narrative pacing—and how does that tension drive reader anticipation?

On August 5, 2022, the peacefulness of a close-knit neighborhood is shattered in Butler Township, Ohio. A 39-year-old man goes on an armed rampage, killing a 41-year-old woman and her 15-year-old daughter before shooting dead an older couple. The most terrifying part of the senseless quadruple murder is that the victims were all shot somewhere they should have felt safe - in their own homes. The killer is not only swiftly apprehended, but confesses to the crimes. Everyone hopes for a speedy trial given the overwhelming evidence against him. Perhaps he'll even plead guilty. But it's not to be. In episode 375, Jac and Alexis detail the heartbreaking murders of Sarah and Kayla Anderson, and Clyde and Sally Knox, in a case that demands an answer to the deeply troubling question: how does society deal with someone so self-serving that they persist in hiding behind the system in refusing to face the consequences of their actions?

On March 7, 2000, a terrifying crime spree unfolds in the suburbs of Baltimore, Maryland. A 31-year-old man goes on a rampage, killing four people before holding a family of three hostage in a standoff lasting almost four days. Almost two weeks after the fuse was lit, the ordeal finally comes to an end. But it's not without controversy and not before another life is lost in the process. In the aftermath, fingers are pointed and unanswered questions hang in the air as people wonder if the tragedy was entirely foreseeable, if not preventable. In episode 373, Jac and Alexis detail the disturbing case of Joseph Chester Palczynski, who held a community in the grip of terror, leaving a path of devastation and destruction in his wake that continues to impact scores of lives today, raising questions about the effectiveness of the systems meant to protect the lives of the innocent, and what happens when these fail.
