Do tanque e do porta-aviões do século XX aos drones baratos que destroem tanques de milhões, da IA que escolhe alvos em segundos (Lavender, Maven, Claude Mythos) aos robôs que já caminham no campo de batalha: neste episódio mergulhamos na maior revolução da tecnologia de guerra dos últimos 100 anos. Do “laboratório” da Ucrânia de drones FPV e fibra óptica, a IA transformou a decisão de matar em algoritmo, passando pela guerra de narrativas com deepfakes que ninguém mais sabe o que é real e o que está acontecendo. Guerra mais eficiente significa guerra melhor… ou só mais frequente e impessoal? Patronato do SciCast: 1. Patreon SciCast 2. Apoia.se/Scicast 3.

Stacey Copeland, Assistant Professor of Cultural Heritage and Identity at the Centre for Media and Journalism Studies at the University of Groningen, joins Jana Byars to talk about⁠ Lavender Sounds: From Lesbian Radio to Queer Feminist Soundwork⁠ (University of Michigan Press, 2026) delves into lesbian radio history and its evolution into queer feminist podcasting today, exploring the politics, aesthetics, and cultural activism embedded in queer feminist soundwork. Through deeply personal and archival explorations, Stacey Copeland traces the emergence of queer feminist soundwork—a unique blend of community-led storytelling, political resistance, and creative expression rooted in feminist and LGBTQ+ activism. At the heart of the book lies a powerful idea: sound is not just heard but felt, connecting generations through shared voices and struggles. In conversation with award-winning and cutting-edge queer and feminist podcast producers from across Canada and the U.S., Lavender Sounds invites us to turn a feminist embodied ear to the past to uncover the ways gender, race, and sexual orientations are embedded in our everyday media listening practices. From pioneering Canadian radio shows like Vancouver's The Lesbian Show and Montreal's Dykes on Mykes to today's queer chumcasts and audio documentary, Lavender Sounds is a journey through auditory landscapes where joy, protest, intimacy, and identity intersect. This book opens a vibrant conversation about how radio and podcasting are vital tools for marginalized communities to connect, create, and claim space in the media world.

We are the choices we make. Good guy? Bad guy? We decide that every day until our last day. On this week's podcast, we're exploring how heroism and villainism mingle in Lavender Jack, the pulp adventure from cartoonist Dan Schkade. We're considering when to swim with society and when to swim against it, and how comic book vigilante justice too often forgets its own messaging. Lavender Jack, originally published on Webtoon, is where Schkade cracked the comic strip medium, preparing him to take over Flash Gordon, where he now lives daily. We discuss why these pulp adventurers appeal so profoundly to him, and how their tales can be told with a contemporary bite. It's the perfect discussion to prepare us for next week's plunge into San Diego Comic-Con, where we'll be moderating three panels and attempting to interview all the comic book celebrity guests. We're in plug-goblin-mode during the intro, barely containing our excitement for the year's biggest comic book event. If you thought our July 2026 coverage was already intense, oh boy, strap in. Lavender Jack is written, illustrated, and lettered by Dan Schkade. It's colored by Jenn Manley Lee. Volume One is currently available from Dark Horse Comics, and you can expect Volume 2 on September 29th. Make sure you're following Dan Schkade on Instagram and Bluesky.

Imagine spending 15 years working for one nonprofit organization.Fifteen years of your time. Your energy. Your dedication.Now imagine having the chance to sit down with the version of yourself from Day One. What would you say?In my latest episode of The Nonprofit Insider Podcast Summer Fundraising Series, I sit down with Amy Lavender, Vice President of Development at Adelante Development Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico.We discuss the advice she'd give her younger self, why building nonprofit partnerships is much harder than it looks, how the rising cost of groceries has changed donor conversations, and what it's like leading development efforts across multiple organizations.Listen to the episode on Apple here: https://bit.ly/Ep80TheNonprofitInsiderPodcastAppleListen to the episode on Spotify here: https://bit.ly/Ep80TheNonprofitInsiderPodcastSpotifyAnd be sure to subscribe to us however you take in media:YouTube-https://bit.ly/TheNonprofitInsiderPodcastYouTube ShortsInstagram-bit.ly/TheNonprofitInsiderPodcastTikTok-https://bit.ly/TheNonprofitInsiderPodcastTikTok"Nonprofit Conversations Worth Having"

"Newsflash, no one is coming to save you. This life of yours is 100% your responsibility." Brett Lavender had no father from age 6, no mother from age 19, and no family left by the time he was 20. What he built from that — over decades of hard experience, deliberate self-work, and thousands of hours performing in front of crowds across every walk of life — is one of the most honest frameworks for masculine presence and communication you're likely to hear on this show. Brett created the Persuasive Lion program, built around what he calls the Lost Languages: eye contact, body language, facial expression, tone of voice — the fundamental communication tools that technology has stripped from a generation of men. From there he goes deeper into nervous system regulation, stoicism, and a single contract he asks every client to make with himself: protect your calm nervous system at all costs. The conversation between Nicky and Brett covers the difference between performance and presence, why aggression is the wrong answer in nearly every situation a man will face, and what it looks like to be the rock in the ocean that the waves crash against — at home, in business, and inside your own head. Brett is also honest about his own floor: suicidal at 22, a bottle of vodka a day, no safety net. His message isn't a pep talk. It's a man who's been there, done the work, and has something real to say about what it takes to come back.

Des drones téléguidés à distance, des armes suggérées selon le type de la mission et les conditions sur le terrain, des rapports d'analyse disponibles quelques minutes après les frappes… L'intelligence artificielle est déjà sur les champs de bataille. L'armée israélienne, par exemple, a déclaré y avoir recouru au Liban et à Gaza dès 2023, par le biais de deux logiciels nommés Habsora (« Evangile ») et Lavender.Ce n'est pas la seule armée au monde à recourir l'IA. Les Etats-Unis, l'Ukraine et la France ont, par exemple, noué des partenariats avec des acteurs du secteur. A commencer par l'entreprise américaine Palantir, qui assume vouloir devenir la figure de proue de l'IA dans la guerre et même, à terme, « l'entreprise la plus importante au monde ».Palantir n'est pas la seule à se positionner sur ce secteur émergent et stratégique : depuis deux ans, des innovations sont sans cesse proposées aux états-majors des grandes puissances mondiales par une myriade de start-up. Et cette révolution militaire à l'œuvre repousse les barrières éthiques de la guerre.Où et comment l'IA est-elle aujourd'hui employée sur les champs de bataille ? A quels besoins des armées l'intelligence artificielle répond-elle ? Faut-il légiférer sur son déploiement ou n'est-ce pas déjà trop tard ? Dans cet épisode du podcast « L'Heure du Monde », Alexandre Piquard, journaliste au service Economie du Monde, analyse les contours de cette révolution militaire en cours.Un épisode de Marion Bothorel. Réalisation : Thomas Zeng. Présentation et rédaction en chef : Thomas Baumgartner. Dans cet épisode : extraits d'une interview accordée par Peter Thiel, PDG de Palantir, à Bloomberg le 16 septembre 2014 ; d'une publicité de Palantir diffusée sur sa chaîne YouTube le 31 octobre 2024 ; d'une présentation de Cameron Stanley (officier responsable du numérique et de l'IA au département de la guerre américain), retransmise dans une vidéo diffusée par Palantir sur YouTube le 13 mars 2026 ; d'une prise de parole d'Antonio Guterres, secrétaire général de l'ONU, en marge du G7 le 6 juillet 2026 et lecture du manifeste publié par Palantir sur ses réseaux sociaux le 18 avril 2026.Cet épisode a été publié le 8 juillet 2026.---Pour soutenir "L'Heure du Monde" et notre rédaction, abonnez-vous sur abopodcast.lemonde.fr Hébergé par Acast.

We have reached the glittering grand finale of our Pride Month celebration on We Drink & We Watch Things, and we are going out in style! For our "T" selection in the lineup, we are packing our bags, boarding a battered lavender bus named Priscilla, and heading deep into the Australian outback with Stephan Elliott's iconic 1994 masterpiece, The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Pour yourself something absolutely fabulous - perhaps Lemar's It's Not Purple, It's Lavender cocktail - as we journey into the heart of the desert, where the heels are high and the survival instincts are higher.This week, we celebrate the extraordinary trio at the center of this road trip: Hugo Weaving's conflicted Tick/Mitzi, Guy Pearce's chaotic, high-energy Adam/Felicia, and Terrence Stamp's absolutely sublime, deeply dignified performance as Bernadette, a trans woman navigating grief and a world that rarely understands her. We bask in the film's legendary visual triumphs - from the towering silver lamé gown on top of the bus to the jaw-dropping lip-sync numbers in the middle of nowhere - and break down Oscar-winning costumes that managed to turn flip-flops into high fashion. Most importantly, we examine the film's striking balance between brilliant camp comedy and raw, necessary commentary on homophobia, transphobia, and the revolutionary act of queer joy simply refusing to hide.If you've ever wanted to watch three drag queens conquer the outback to the tune of Gloria Gaynor, or if you just want to hear us rave about a film that changed the landscape of queer cinema forever, this is the curtain call you've been waiting for.

The housing market in 2026 is defined by contradictions. Demand remains strong, yet affordability challenges persist. Builders continue to innovate, even as uncertainty clouds the economic outlook. Meanwhile, demographic shifts and changing consumer preferences are reshaping what Georgians want from their homes.   In part two of Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio‘s mid-year market update, Jim Jacobi of Parkland Communities, Tim Arnold of D.R. Horton and Cara Lavender of John Burns Research and Consulting (JBREC) join Host Carol Morgan to discuss the forces driving today’s market. From the evolution of build-to-rent communities to construction costs and changing buyer expectations, the panel explored how industry leaders are adapting to a rapidly evolving landscape.  Demographic Shifts Will Shape the Next Decade  While much attention is focused on mortgage rates and affordability, longer-term demographic changes deserve equal consideration. An aging population, later marriages, declining birth rates and multigenerational living are altering housing demand. These shifts could influence everything from home design and community amenities to product mix and location strategies over the next decade.  “I think it’s kind of those changing demographics that are going to change what products we need, what type of housing we need, where we need it,” Lavender said.  Buyers Want More Choice & Better Value  Buyer priorities have evolved significantly since the post-pandemic housing boom. During the height of the market, consumers were eager to purchase almost any available home. Today, buyers are more selective and focused on maximizing value.  “They want to see more options, they want to have more choices,” Arnold said.  Rather than concentrating solely on purchase price, buyers increasingly evaluate value through the lens of square footage, functionality and available floor plans. Builders are responding by offering a wider variety of products within communities and across submarkets.  Affordability Means More Than Home Price  “Affordability is not just the house price,” Jacobi said. “Affordability is everything across the board.”  Emerging mortgage products designed to reduce barriers to homeownership are also helping expand access, including programs featuring zero down payments, no private mortgage insurance and reduced closing costs.  As lenders introduce more creative financing solutions, these tools could help more buyers achieve homeownership despite elevated rates.  Build-to-Rent Communities Continue to Evolve  Build-to-rent communities are entering a new phase of maturity, with developers moving away from one-size-fits-all approaches. Mixed-product developments featuring townhomes, single-family homes and ranch-style offerings designed for aging renters are becoming increasingly common.  Research from JBREC points to the same trend.  “When we look at that delivery pipeline, it’s pretty clear that townhomes and those mixed-product communities are going to be what dominates BTR deliveries in 2027,” Lavender said.  At the same time, renters are prioritizing practical value over luxury amenities. While amenities such as pools and fitness centers remain desirable, residents place greater emphasis on low-maintenance living, responsive management teams and services such as lawn care.  Construction Costs Remain a Daily Challenge  Although slowing housing starts have eased some labor pressures, construction costs continue to fluctuate.  “We work on it every day,” Arnold said. “It just continues to be a shift.”  Lumber pricing, tariffs and petroleum-based products all contribute to ongoing volatility. However, reduced apartment construction has expanded the available labor pool for residential projects. That increased competition among trades may help stabilize pricing moving forward.  Data Centers Create New Competition  Another emerging factor is the rapid growth of data center development. Large-scale investments from companies such as Amazon, Google, Meta and Microsoft could eventually impact residential construction by competing for labor and land.  According to broker surveys conducted by JBREC, approximately one-third of respondents reported seeing residential land transactions redirected toward data center projects. While not yet widespread, it is a trend the industry is watching closely.  The New Reality: Lower Velocity & Greater Uncertainty  Builders and developers have adjusted expectations in response to a more cautious environment. Sales pace, lease-up rates and incentives are increasingly built into underwriting models. Rather than anticipating rapid improvement, many operators are planning for a prolonged period of moderation extending into 2027.  The Grind Before the Next Growth Cycle  The defining characteristic of today’s housing market may ultimately be its complexity. Elevated interest rates, rising costs, shifting regulations and global economic uncertainty have forced builders, developers and researchers to rethink long-held assumptions and adapt in real time.  Rather than waiting for a return to the conditions of the past, industry leaders are learning to operate in an environment where flexibility, discipline and execution matter more than ever. Growth may come more slowly, and success may require a greater willingness to adjust strategies as conditions evolve.  Yet beneath the headlines about affordability challenges and market headwinds, the industry’s core mission remains unchanged. Housing is about more than economics and forecasts. It is about creating places where people build their lives, raise families and invest in their futures. Even amid uncertainty, the enduring value of homeownership continues to provide both purpose and optimism for those shaping the next chapter of the housing market.  Ready to hit rewind on Part 1?

While much of the housing conversation in 2026 has focused on slower sales, elevated mortgage rates and affordability challenges, industry leaders say a bigger issue is emerging behind the scenes: a future housing supply shortage.  Tim Arnold of D.R. Horton, Cara Lavender of John Burns Research and Consulting and Jim Jacobi of Parkland Communities, join host Carol Morgan on Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio for a mid-year market update on looming lot shortages, zoning challenges, affordability concerns and the factors shaping housing supply across metro Atlanta.  The Biggest Housing Story Nobody Is Talking About  “In my opinion, the biggest secret in housing today is the lack of new zonings that are occurring,” said Jacobi.  He explained that numerous municipalities have either implemented zoning moratoriums or significantly slowed approvals, creating a development pipeline problem that could emerge over the next several years. Although today’s market remains slower than the pandemic-era housing boom, builders continue selling homes and working through existing lot inventories. The challenge is that many communities are not approving enough future projects to replace what is currently being built.  “People probably do not recognize what is happening out there with the lot supply market,” said Arnold. “There is going to be a struggle for folks to get lot supply.”  Labor and Building Capacity Could Become the Next Challenge  With in-migration at historically low levels and major infrastructure projects such as data centers competing for skilled trades, Lavender said labor constraints could quickly become a concern if housing demand accelerates.  “If a demand faucet turns on, do we have the lots available?” she said. “But in that same breath, do we have the labor and the building products capacity available to support an uptick in production?”  Slower production volumes have helped ease labor pressures. However, the industry may not be prepared to rapidly increase construction activity if market conditions improve.  Spring Selling Season Falls Short of Expectations  While future supply concerns remain top of mind, today’s housing market continues to face near-term challenges. Lavender described the spring selling season as “underwhelming.” Uncertain demand and hesitant consumers continue to weigh on market performance. Builders are maintaining sales through pricing strategies and incentives, but those efforts are coming at the expense of profit margins.  Senate Bill 447 Could Improve Georgia’s Permitting Process  Senate Bill 447 could provide a welcome boost for Georgia’s housing industry by improving transparency and accountability in the permitting process. The legislation increases visibility into permit reviews, requires written explanations for permit denials and establishes timelines for local governments to respond to applications. It could also help reduce delays that often add significant costs to housing projects.  “It’ll speed up the building and land development permits,” said Arnold.  Build-to-Rent Gains Recognition as an Asset Class  Federal housing legislation could significantly affect the build-to-rent sector. Proposed revisions to the Road to Housing Act would provide greater certainty for investors and developers while reinforcing build-to-rent’s role in the broader housing market. One of the most notable aspects of the legislation is its recognition of build-to-rent as a distinct asset class, a change that could strengthen investor confidence and support additional capital investment. Greater certainty and increased investment could help expand housing supply by encouraging additional build-to-rent development in high-demand markets.  Gwinnett County Offers a Warning Sign  From January through April 2025, unincorporated Gwinnett County issued approximately 2,800 new home permits. During that same period, local officials approved zoning for only about 1,400 future housing units.  “So they only zoned about half as many lots as what has been built in the same time period,” said Jacobi.  This imbalance raises questions about where future housing inventory will come from if current approval trends continue. Ongoing zoning moratoriums, elevated land costs and community opposition to new development could further constrain housing supply and place additional pressure on affordability.  Tune in next week for Part 2 of this market update, where the panel takes a deeper look at affordability, infrastructure challenges and what housing leaders expect over the next several years.  About Parkland Communities  Parkland Communities, Inc., the parent company of build-to-rent home builder, Parkland Residential, is a privately owned, multifaceted real estate development and investment firm specializing in residential properties.

When people think about herbs for stress, they often reach for the usual recommendations. But some of the most supportive herbs aren't always the most obvious.Here, I share three surprising herbs that I frequently think about for different types of stress and nervous system support.► Milky oats for deep depletion and nervous system nourishment► Lavender for anxiety and acute stress support► Reishi for chronic, long-term stress and resilienceI also share an important lesson I've learned after many years of working with herbs: while herbs can be incredible allies, lasting resilience comes from understanding your unique constitution and changing your relationship to stress itself.That's exactly why Rebecca Altman and I created the Building Resilience Course, which combines herbs, self-awareness, and practical tools for building resilience from the inside out.Learn more and join here.
