Headline: Ancient Globalization and Volcanic Disruptions Guest: Professor Peter Frankopan Book Title: The Earth Transformed: An Untold History Frankopan explores the concept of ancient globalization, defining it through the long-range exchange of goods, ideas, and technologies between Europe, Africa, and Asia. He highlights nomadic peoples as the essential vectors who transported bronze, cereals, and livestock between cities. The conversation shifts to the profound impact of volcanic eruptions on human history. For instance, the eruption of Thera (Santorini) triggered changes in the variola virus, potentially leading to the rise of smallpox which killed millions over millennia. Another major event was the eruption of Okmok in Alaska in 43 BC. This caused global crop failures and disrupted the Nileflood, leading to famine and political instability in Egypt. These ecological pressures weakened Queen Cleopatra'sposition, allowing her rival Octavian to eventually take control of Egypt. Frankopan notes that while volcanoes do not directly cause political change, the resulting agricultural shocks create "turbulent" environments where political opportunists can transform republics into empires.

Chinese Missile Provocations and the Undersea Power Struggle. Gordon Chang and Rebecca Grant. Chinalaunched a long-range missile over sovereign territories toward Fiji, an aggressive move coinciding with major NATOand RIMPAC events. The test signals China's intent to expand its nuclear triad despite its currently "noisy" submarine technology. The U.S. maintains its undersea dominance through advanced programs like the Columbia-class boomer and unmanned Orca systems. (2)

AP correspondent Rica Ann Garcia reports on the Ukrainian drones that hit an oil terminal in St. Petersburg, the latest strike on Russian oil infrastructure.
John Hardie and Bill Roggio report on Russian fuel shortages caused by Ukrainian long-range drone strikes on refineries. Hardie notes this crisis breaks Putin's "social contract" of stability for passivity. Despite economic trouble, Putin maintains maximalist war demands due to inflated military reports from his general staff. 10
Welcome back to the Mindful Hunter Podcast! In this episode, Jay sits down with Zach from Montana Wild — a guy who has been a fixture in hunting media for over a decade and played a massive role in the early creative direction of Stone Glacier. In the first half, Jay and Zach dive deep into the history of hunting media, from the early days of YouTube to the "golden era" of founder-led, design-centric companies like Stone Glacier, First Lite, and Sitka. They have a candid conversation about what happens when Private Equity buys out these beloved brands, why the culture always changes, and why companies like Exo Mountain Gear are some of the last ones doing it right. In the second half, the conversation shifts to rifles, marksmanship, and the current state of long-range hunting. They pull no punches on the marketing BS behind "1,000-yard out-of-the-box" rifles, why ultralight rifles are a terrible choice for most hunters, and why the biggest reason hunters miss isn't their gear — it's their ego. Jay also shares the brutal statistics from his recent bear guiding season: a 50% effective lethality rate on shot opportunities, and what he's doing to fix it next year.

Ep 258 “Long-Range Emotional Avoidance Systems” – National Gun Violence Awareness Month (Bullet Poof Bulletins) Celebrating the launch of eco-fiction anti-gun novella Bullet Poof and National Gun Violence Awareness Month, Avis Kalfsbeek brings back beloved Kitty O'Compost with the Bullet Poof Bulletins. Tonight on the Spoke-Easy stage, Kitty O'Compost deconstructs a leaked corporate marketing strategy that attempts to commodify emotional detachment. This bulletin satirizes an industry campaign that pitches precision long-range weaponry as a lifestyle solution for avoiding family conversations and relationship vulnerability. Inspired by the connective and grounded themes of Bullet Poof, this episode exposes how commercialized fear profits off human isolation, pointing us back to the real strength found in honest, face-to-face community connection. Resources: Bullet Poof is a hopeful eco-fiction novella about what happens when ordinary people refuse to accept the gun status quo.

Wanna hear the FULL Episode? Sign up for the Grad Program today! Most long-range shooting myths are just that—myths. What you really need to hit long-distance targets isn't a fancy laser level or a digital wind meter; it's practical knowledge, quality gear, and consistent training. If you're tired of wasting money on gadgets that promise perfection but deliver distraction, this episode is your wake-up call. Professor Paul dismantles the obsession with high-tech accessories, revealing how you can shoot confidently at a thousand yards with simple tools—like a solid scope, reliable ammunition, and disciplined practice. No more chasing the latest "must-have" gadgets that distract from what truly matters. Instead, learn how to leverage real skill over shiny gear, and why the person behind the rifle is the ultimate variable. We break down: The truth about scope leveling and why analog bubbles and digital laser levels are often overkill The matching importance of wind at the shooter and target, and how flags can deceive even seasoned shooters How to avoid the trap of automatic reflexive firing by engaging your brain—because safety and accuracy depend on purposeful decisions The misconception that extensive gear equals better performance and how training and mindset are the real game changers Why you — yes, you — can shoot farther and more precisely than you think, with less money and fewer gadgets You'll discover the critical importance of mental focus, deliberate training, and understanding your own physiology—especially the role of the prefrontal cortex and habit formation—in long-range shooting success. Ignoring this leaves you vulnerable to complacency, missed opportunities, and even deadly mistakes.

Of 11,103 new cars registered, 10,952 were fully electric, with diesel managing just 87 units and petrol a mere 31 units — making combustion-engine sales little more than a rounding error.TESLA CUTS MODEL 3 PRICES IN CANADATesla has slashed prices across its Canadian Model 3 line-up, introducing a new entry Premium RWD trim starting at C$39,490 — about 31% cheaper than the equivalent US price — after shifting production from its Fremont plant to its Shanghai factory to take advantage of Canada's new 6.1% Chinese-EV import tariff. The line-up now has just two trims after removing the Long Range mid-range, though Shanghai-built cars do not qualify for Canada's federal EVAP rebate of up to C$5,000.FACTORIAL BETS SOLID-STATE CAN BREAK CHINA'S LEADFactorial Energy, a Massachusetts-based startup backed by Mercedes-Benz, Stellantis, and Hyundai/Kia, argues that solid-state batteries — which charge from 15% to 90% in 18 minutes and offer 20–50% more range than lithium-ion — are the West's best chance to leapfrog Chinese rivals rather than imitate them. The company plans to go public on Nasdaq in mid-2026 via a SPAC merger, and a Mercedes-Benz EQS prototype fitted with its cells drove 1,205 km non-stop in August 2025.IONIQ 5 SALES HOLD UP AFTER US TAX CREDIT LOSSHyundai's IONIQ 5 held fifth place among US EV sellers in 2025 despite losing the federal EV tax credit, while rivals like the Ford Mustang Mach-E saw sales collapse 60% year-on-year in Q1 2026. Domestic production at Hyundai Metaplant America in Savannah, Georgia was credited as a key factor in shielding the IONIQ 5 from the impact of Trump administration trade policy changes.VOLKSWAGEN RAISES RIVIAN STAKE TO 15.9%Volkswagen has lifted its stake in Rivian to 15.9% after completing a further $1 billion investment tranche, triggered by the RV Tech joint venture clearing its winter testing milestones, bringing its total investment to $3 billion of a committed $5.8 billion. Volkswagen gains access to Rivian's software stack and zonal architecture, while Rivian retains full ownership of its motors, batteries, chassis, and autonomy framework.VW TESTS 'GAMECHANGER' AT WOLFSBURGVolkswagen has launched a pilot production process codenamed Gamechanger at its Wolfsburg headquarters, aimed at cutting costs and enabling profitable EV manufacturing in Germany through techniques expected to include megacasting and parallel modular assembly streams. The plant is expected to eventually produce an electric Golf and an SUV counterpart on the next-generation SSP platform, potentially under the names ID. Golf and ID. Roc.TESLA LAUNCHES BASECHARGER FOR SEMI DEPOTSTesla has unveiled the Basecharger, a depot-focused DC fast charger for the Tesla Semi that tops out at 125 kW and can charge a truck from low to 60% in around four hours, using a 6-metre cable to accommodate yard layouts. The unit starts at $20,000, supports the open MCS (Megawatt Charging System) standard, and up to three units can share a single breaker — potentially serving future MCS-compatible trucks from Daimler, Volvo, and Scania.MFG EV POWER ADDS PLUG&CHARGEMotor Fuel Group has integrated its MFG EV Power network of around 2,000 rapid and ultra-rapid UK charging points with Hubject's Plug&Charge infrastructure, going live on 1 May 2026 after over a year of technical development. Compatible EVs can now begin charging automatically the moment they plug in, eliminating the need for RFID cards or apps.ALLEGO APP ADDS EUROPE-WIDE CHARGING ROAMINGAllego has transformed its app into a pan-European roaming platform, giving drivers access to roughly one million charging points from competing networks under a single account with no additional roaming fees. The app also includes a Smart Route Planner to help EV drivers plan charging stops across longer cross-border journeys.NEW AI VOICE ASSISTANTS FOR RIVIAN, POLESTAR AND VOLVO EVSRivian's AI voice assistant — first unveiled at its December 2025 Autonomy & AI Day — is now expected to reach customers in the coming weeks after slipping roughly four months behind its original early-2026 target, and will roll out to both R1 and R2 vehicles. Separately, Google has begun rolling out Gemini to Polestar and Volvo cars running Android Automotive OS, enabling conversational AI with multi-turn dialogue, trip planning, and a continuous hands-free mode called Gemini Live — with Volvo saying models dating back to 2020 are eligible for the upgrade.
In this episode, Ray Cochrane leads with GitHub’s worst reliability month on record and the AI infrastructure pressure behind it. He also covers Warp going open source, Apple’s Mac supply crunch, OpenAI’s goblin tic, the first 1X humanoid factory in the US, Tesla’s Semi finally hitting mass production, Chinese EVs with movie-projecting headlights, the final GPS III satellite, and a quantum researcher who won 1 Bitcoin. – Want to start a podcast?

Support my Show Sponsor: Best Godaddy Promo Codes Get 1Password Full Summary Cochrane opens the show with one of the biggest infrastructure stories of the year. GitHub is buckling under unprecedented agentic load, and the world’s largest code host just had its worst reliability month on record. Furthermore, the broader episode threads a clear pattern: AI demand is reshaping infrastructure, hardware supply, and developer tooling in ways the industry did not see coming. GitHub’s Worst Reliability Month on Record GitHub CTO Vlad Fedorov posted an apology on the company blog this week. He acknowledged the platform’s recent failures and committed to a new priority order: availability first, then capacity, then features. Meanwhile, an April 23 merge queue regression silently produced wrong squash commits across 658 repositories and over 2,000 pull requests. Additionally, an Elasticsearch cluster crashed on April 27 after a botnet attack, and GitHub Actions went down on April 28. Outside reconstructions put April uptime under 85 percent. However, GitHub’s own status page stays in the 99 percent range because it does not count degraded performance as downtime. Cochrane notes that GitHub originally planned a 10x capacity increase and has now revised that to 30x in eight months. Mitchell Hashimoto, GitHub user 1299 since 2008, also announced he is pulling his Ghostty terminal off the platform entirely. Warp Terminal Goes Open Source Under AGPL Warp open-sourced its AI-first terminal client this week under the AGPL license. Their contribution model leans heavily on agents handling code, planning, and testing while humans focus on direction and verification. However, Cochrane pushes back on that framing. He argues the recent GitHub problems show that human approval alone is not enough oversight for agent-driven workflows. Additionally, he notes that the more hands-off developers get, the less they can mentally model their own systems. Apple Caught Flat-Footed by Local AI Demand Tim Cook told Wall Street on the Q2 FY2026 earnings call that Mac mini and Mac Studio supply will be constrained for several months. Both machines turned out to be popular local AI workstations, which Apple did not predict. Consequently, Apple discontinued the 512GB Mac Studio upgrade in early March and raised the 256GB upgrade by $400. Some upgraded configurations now show 4 to 5 month delivery estimates. Cochrane connects the demand spike to the OpenClaw wave and his own recent OpenClaw scare, where his install started making suspicious outbound requests. Furthermore, he is in no rush to lean into local agentic tooling given the constant prompt injection and security issues in the space. OpenAI Explains the Goblin Obsession After GPT-5.1 launched, ChatGPT users noticed the model could not stop saying “goblin.” OpenAI traced the bias to the optional Nerdy personality, which was 2.5 percent of all responses but produced 66.7 percent of all goblin mentions. The reward signal during personality training quietly favored creature metaphors. Then the bias leaked into the rest of the model through later supervised fine-tuning. OpenAI retired Nerdy in March, filtered creature words from training data, and added an explicit Codex system prompt rule: never talk about goblins, gremlins, raccoons, trolls, ogres, or pigeons. Cochrane frames this as the beauty and disaster of pattern matching. Additionally, he notes that LLM behavior is not editable like static code; it can only be patched, and the patches stack up over time.

The Norway-founded, OpenAI-backed company is calling it America’s first vertically integrated humanoid factory. Their goal: 10,000 NEO home humanoids in year one, with a 100,000 unit target by end of 2027. Furthermore, the first 10,000 unit allocation reportedly sold out in five days when pre-orders opened in October. NEO sells for $20,000 outright or $499 per month. Cochrane is skeptical that humanoids solve a real problem for the average household. However, he sees genuine potential for elderly and disabled users. Additionally, he flags privacy and data collection concerns about robots that have to perceive everything in your home. Tesla Semi Rolls Off the High-Volume Line Tesla rolled the first Semi off its 1.7 million square foot factory adjacent to Gigafactory Nevada on April 29. The Long Range version delivers 500 miles at $290,000, while the Standard Range hits 325 miles at $260,000. Additionally, the Long Range supports the 1.2 megawatt Megacharger that restores 60 percent of range in about 30 minutes. The factory targets 50,000 trucks per year, though analysts project 5,000 to 15,000 deliveries in 2026. Cochrane opens with a recent personal experience. He saw a semi truck on the freeway with the entire cabin removed from the engine, an unusual failure mode he had never seen before. Furthermore, he questions the actual environmental benefit of electric trucking given grid sourcing and battery mineral concerns. The reveal was 2017, and high-volume production is now nine years after that announcement. Chinese EVs With Headlights That Project Movies Huawei’s XPixel headlight system can now project full-color movies up to 100 inches in front of the car. The technology debuted in full color on the Aito M9 and is rolling out across Stelato S9, Qijing GT7, and Luxeed V9 MPV. Additionally, the same hardware powers real safety features: adaptive driving beam, lane-change path projection, and pedestrian crossing direction signaling. Meanwhile, US regulations only approved adaptive driving beam in February 2022. Pixel-addressable projection systems are not covered by current FMVSS rules at all. Consequently, even if these cars sold in the US, the headlights would have to be downgraded to be street legal. The Final GPS III Satellite Reaches Orbit SpaceX launched GPS III SV-10, the tenth and final GPS III satellite, on a Falcon 9 from Cape Canaveral on April 21. GPS III delivers signals 3 times more accurate and 8 times more resistant to jamming than the previous constellation. It also adds the L1C signal, which interoperates with Galileo, BeiDou, IRNSS, and QZSS, plus M-code military encryption. Up next, GPS IIIF launches start in 2027 with up to 22 satellites deploying through about 2037. IIIF adds laser inter-satellite links and optical reflectors for centimeter-level satellite tracking. Cochrane loves this kind of quiet infrastructure win that powers global economics without anyone noticing it. Researcher Wins 1 Bitcoin for a Quantum Attack on Crypto Independent Italian researcher Giancarlo Lelli won Project Eleven’s 1 Bitcoin Q-Day Prize on April 24. He derived a 15-bit elliptic curve private key from its public key using a variant of Shor’s algorithm on rented cloud quantum hardware. Furthermore, the previous record was 6 bits, set in September 2025 on an IBM 133-qubit machine, so this extends the record by a factor of 512. However, Bitcoin uses 256-bit elliptic curve cryptography, so real wallets are not at risk yet. Additionally, other researchers have pushed back on the result. Their criticism: a 15-bit search space is only 32,767 possibilities, which a laptop can brute-force in milliseconds. Project Eleven defends the milestone as a stepping stone for demonstrating Shor’s algorithm running end-to-end on real quantum hardware. Gemini Now Generates Real Files Google rolled out file generation for the Gemini app. Users can now generate PDFs, Word docs, Excel spreadsheets, Google Workspace files, CSV, LaTeX, plain text, RTF, and Markdown directly from a chat prompt. Additionally, files can be downloaded to device or exported straight to Google Drive. The feature is globally available to all Gemini app users. Google Illuminate Turns Papers Into Podcasts Google Illuminate is the experimental Labs tool that converts academic papers into roughly five-minute two-voice podcast-style audio. Generation takes about 30 seconds, with a 20-per-day cap and a 30-day library. Additionally, transcripts are interactive and clickable for jumping to specific moments. Cochrane likes it as an index for triaging papers but pushes back on using it to replace deep reading.

Scott Hennen and Kevin Flynn dive into a high-stakes Monday edition of What's On Your Mind. The episode kicks off with an in-depth interview with Fargo Mayoral candidate Michelle Turnberg, who outlines a conservative vision for North Dakota's largest city, focusing on debt reduction and public safety. The hosts then pivot to a surprising new cultural phenomenon: "Nana-Maxing". They explore why Gen Z is ditching smartphones for the intentional, slow-paced lifestyle of Italian grandmothers. Later, Chief Meteorologist Dean Wysocki breaks down the science of the Lezak Recurring Cycle (LRC) to predict severe weather weeks in advance , followed by a critical update on the geopolitical tension in Iran and the "logjam" facing American oil refineries. Episode Highlights [00:01:00] – The Crossroads of Fargo Mayoral candidate Michelle Turnberg joins the studio to discuss her mission to restore conservative values to Fargo. She details the city's $1.3 billion debt and her battle to end "drug paraphernalia" giveaways. [00:14:00] – The Rise of the "Nana Lifestyle" Scott and Kevin react to a viral Gen Z trend called "Nana-Maxing". From crocheting and canning to long family meals and less screen time, the hosts debate if living like a grandmother is the secret to mental health. [00:22:00] – Predicting July's Storms in April Chief Meteorologist Dean Wysocki explains the LRC model. He provides a "crystal ball" look at the summer of 2026, predicting a stormy 10-day stretch in early July based on patterns established in October. [00:30:00] – Iran: "Let Them Cook" The hosts analyze President Trump's recent statements on Iran. They discuss the history of US military intervention and the "unconditional surrender" required to secure nuclear safety. [00:35:00] – The Refinery Logjam A deep dive into why gas prices remain high despite record US oil production. Scott explains the "refinery logjam," noting that the US has 50% fewer refineries today than in 1970, despite a 140% increase in demand. [00:39:00] – Salute to Service: Vision for the World Lion Lynn Helms introduces the North Dakota Lions' vision screening programs. Guest Kristin Fullman describes the "life-changing" Haiti Eye Mission, which restores sight to hundreds of people through weekly surgical intensives.
In this episode of The Spear, host Dr. Charlie Faint speaks with Lieutenant Colonel Ben Blane about the rapid evolution of long-range precision fires and the Army's shift toward multidomain operations in preparation for conflict with near-peer adversaries, particularly in the Indo-Pacific. Blane traces his career from traditional artillery roles to commanding the Army's first long-range precision fires battalion, highlighting how emerging capabilities, such as hypersonic weapons, networked missile systems, drones, cyber, and space integration, are transforming artillery into a central component of joint, distributed warfare. He emphasizes the importance of forward positioning, interoperability with allies, and building resilient, networked kill webs that enable faster, more precise effects across domains. Drawing on real-world experimentation in places like the Philippines, he underscores both the successes and challenges of integrating new technologies under constant adversary observation, while stressing that future warfare will depend less on mass and more on speed, adaptability, and intelligent, interconnected munitions.

MIAMI -- Fresh off a sweep of the Astros in Houston, the Cardinals visit the Marlins with a tailwind of five consecutive wins and a fast start to their rebuild season. Does their early success suggest they'll outperform expectations in 2026, and if so should they accelerate their rebuild plans? That's the question that begins a conversation between 101 ESPN/WXOS host Brandon Kiley, of BK and Ferrario and the Redbird Report, and Best Podcast in Baseball host and baseball writer Derrick Goold. The Cardinals' rush to five games better than .500 this season is buoyed by defying some trends, such as their negative run differential and their undefeated record (5-0) in extra innings. Both indicate that the Cardinals will experience a correction. Still, they've played a crisp, opportunistic brand of baseball that can claim wins in April, and if they continue to outplay their projections how will that challenge the team's stated plan to focus on the longterm. Will the Cardinals keep their eye on the ball and make future-focused trades even if the club orbits .500? What message will they send fans if this team draws support for how it's playing, for how well it's playing? There are messages and actions that the Cardinals could in the months ahead that would find the balance between responding to the way the team has played now while not straying from their longer-range goals. Kiley and Goold discuss what that looks if the Cardinals just move their timeline up and what those moves look like. More Post-Dispatch podcasts. Please consider subscribing.

Mark Mastrov, founder of 24 Hour Fitness, sat down with Eric Malzone to reflect on decades of industry experience and where fitness is headed next. The conversation covered how consumer behavior has shifted dramatically post-pandemic, with younger generations leaning into fitness more than ever, and how the lines between medical services and gym facilities are increasingly blurring — pointing to a future where your workout and your healthcare coexist under one roof. On the business side, Mark sees private equity continuing to fuel growth across boutique and mid-tier fitness, with the longevity and wellness movement creating fresh opportunities for brands willing to evolve.

EP 106 – NRL Part Deux, Accessories is where we stop talking about rifles and ammo and start talking about everything that actually supports the shot. This episode is all about buying time and building a system that works under pressure. We break down why handheld rangefinders just aren't cutting it anymore in blind stages and why laser rangefinding binos with onboard ballistics have become the standard if you want to stay competitive. It's not about flexing expensive gear. It's about eliminating wasted movement, wasted seconds, and unnecessary mistakes. From there we get into the rest of the support setup. Tripods, bags, bipods, pack layout, and even pants. What actually helps you move faster, build better positions, and see what's happening downrange. We talk through why a quality tripod isn't optional, why lightweight bags solve more problems than people admit, and how small details in your setup can either buy you time or cost you the stage. We also pull back the curtain a bit on the industry side, touching on Federal Excise Tax, complete rifles vs barreled actions, and why some business decisions in the firearms world aren't as simple as they look from the outside. The theme is simple. Time is your biggest enemy. Build a setup that gives you more of it.
