He shares how Pickax is pioneering a human-centered, censorship-free platform built on the belief that freedom of speech is not granted by governments but given by God Himself.Follow Jimmy Lakey on Pickax: https://pickax.com/jimmylakeySubscribe to The Jeff Dornik Show on Rumble and never miss a show. https://rumble.com/c/jeffdornik Big Tech is silencing truth while farming your data to feed the machine.

Bronte got kicked off a plane for making out mid-flight

In which Dan chats with Michael Wagner, Professor and Department Head of Digital Media at the Antoinette Westphal College of Media Arts & Design at Drexel University, about the implications for AI in education. Back in July Michael posted a piece to his Substack with the provocative title, "The End of Cheating as We Know It." He posits that, yes, AI has the power to disrupt everything in education, but, ironically, it has also created the conditions for ancient practices  of teaching and learning to ascend, methods like socratic and oral examination, as well as design cycle iteration.Mentioned in the show:The End of Cheating As We Know It by Michael WagnerMichael Wagner's SubstackAlpha SchoolMusic: Inspired by Lakey

From its historical assets and waterfront livability to the challenges of shifting national perceptions, Lakey shares insights on regional collaboration, economic drivers, and how Greater Baltimore is positioning itself for future growth.

Please leave us a review here (https://econdevshow.com/rate-this-podcast/) — even one sentence helps! 10 Actionable Takeaways for Economic Developers Always frame your community as part of a region — economies rarely stop at city borders. Address negative perceptions head-on with facts, data, and compelling stories. Highlight unique local assets (e.g., universities, hospitals, waterfronts) as differentiators. Showcase livability alongside business opportunities to attract both companies and talent. Balance historical identity with forward-looking strategies. Leverage anchor institutions like universities and hospitals to drive innovation and growth. Collaborate across counties and municipalities to present a united economic front. Market regional resilience — especially in industries that thrive locally. Invest in workforce pipelines that connect local talent with growing industries. Don't let outsiders define your community's brand — own your narrative. Special Guest: Lakey Boyd.

In the late afternoon of August 26th 1986, Michelle "Jolene" Lakey went to visit her sick mother at Mercy Hospital, Scranton. After giving her mother a teddy bear as a get well present the 11 year old left to make the 20 minute walk home. At around 6.00pm several witnesses saw Jolene getting into a light-yellow coloured vehicle on North Washington Avenue. She has never been seen since. After reports of a girl resembling Jolene being seen with a man in Brooklyn, New York, a suspect was interviewed, but the lead went nowhere. Three years later the murder of a 9 year old girl in Scranton would take the investigation in a whole new direction and introduce a prime suspect in the case.Sources for the episode can be found hereSupport the showFollow Persons Unknown: Instagram and FacebookEmail: personsunknownpod@gmail.comWebsite with Transcripts:https://personsunknown.buzzsprout.com/

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for January 26, 2025 is: circuitous • ser-KYOO-uh-tus • adjective If something—such as a path, route, or journey—is described as circuitous, it is not straight, short, and direct, but rather takes a circular or winding course. Circuitous can also describe speech or writing that is not said or done simply or clearly. // He took a circuitous route to town, stopping at several of his favorite shops even though it added minutes and miles to his trip. // While either method will yield the correct answer, one is far less circuitous and therefore considered superior. See the entry > Examples: “… like Alice tumbling down the rabbit hole, Ms. Lakey took a circuitous path to open a psychedelic community center. It involved a stint in the Amazon rainforest, a pen-pal in a maximum security federal prison and an auspicious meeting at a sushi restaurant in New Mexico.” — Rachel Nuwer, The New York Times, 8 Oct. 2023 Did you know? In J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, the titular hero Bilbo Baggins takes a circuitous route to the Lonely Mountain, which he helps to reclaim from a monstrous dragon. Although he successfully arrives there—and returns home again—we do not use the adjective circuitous to suggest that his path traces a perfect circle. We'll get straight to it: although both circuitous and its relative circuit share roots in circus, the Latin word for “circle” (and ancestor of the English words circle and circus), neither need conjure something shaped like, say, a ring. Just as the noun circuit can refer to an indirect route, circuitous describes routes which can appear circular when mapped, but can also be jagged, squiggly, etc. The point is that a journey such as Bilbo's is not straight, short, or direct, but rather rambling. When used figuratively, circuitous describes something that is not said or done simply and clearly; an example might be a rambling speech about manners in dangerous situations when a direct “Never laugh at live dragons” would suffice.
