In this episode I talk with Arlene Goldbard about her new book that I think takes on a quiet but consequential democratic problem: how, in unstable times, the hunger for certainty can slide into surrender—of discernment, of agency, and responsibility.Rather than offering answers or heroes, her book The Intercessor uses story to explore how people learn to stay in relationship, inquiry, and ethical choice without handing their power over to charismatic leaders, rigid belief systems, or the promise of spiritual or political shortcuts.In this conversation, we explore three deeply relevant themes:Intercession as a practice of discernment, and learning how to listen without disappearing yourself in the process.How artists and cultural workers can function as bridges , helping communities resist the pull toward false certainty.And repair as a practiced skill, not an abstract ideal, but rather personal, communal, and spiritual repair that only happens when people remain accountable to one another.You're right to call that out. No reason to shrink the ecosystem. Here it is restored—full cast, fuller descriptions, URLs embedded in the titles, and organized by the four categories you've been using.Notable MentionsPeopleArlene Goldbard: Cultural critic, novelist, painter, and longtime leader in community-based arts. Author of The Intercessor and In the Camp of Angels of Freedom. Her work bridges spiritual inquiry, democratic practice, and cultural organizing.Rabbi Arthur Waskow: Founder of The Shalom Center and a central prophetic voice in Jewish Renewal. A pioneer in linking Jewish spiritual practice with social justice, environmental activism, and interfaith organizing.Rabbi David Wolfe-Blank: Influential Jewish Renewal teacher known for his mystical depth and pedagogical clarity. A formative guide for many Renewal leaders, including Goldbard.Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi: Founder of the Jewish Renewal movement. Brought Hasidic mysticism, experimentation, and interspiritual dialogue into contemporary Jewish life.Paulo Freire: Brazilian educator and author of Pedagogy of the Oppressed. His concept of “conscientization” (critical consciousness) undergirds much community-based arts and democratic cultural practice.PlacesALEPH: Alliance for Jewish Renewal: The national umbrella organization for Jewish Renewal communities, ordination programs, and spiritual leadership training.

It's time for a narrative review double-header! As the end of Tenth Edition draws closer, Games Workshop is rolling out narrative sets to highlight some of the hotspots in the galaxy, and in this episode, we look at the first two releases. In part one, we delve into the 500 Worlds set, featuring the Ultramarines trying to reclaim the lost worlds of Ultramar, as well as a sprawling map-based campaign system. Does this sector-wide campaign system scratch the itch for high-level strategic play, or is it too complex for the average group? Then, in part two, we dive headfirst into The Maelstrom, home of the pirate tyrant Huron Blackheart and his Red Corsairs. How does its notoriety-focus campaign compare to the 500 Worlds system? And does the Crucible of Champions answer all our prayers for opening up a toybox of character options? Listen to find out!

It's easy to get overwhelmed by the onslaught of horrible headlines.  But advocates need to fight, and words are our weapons.  But the problem is, lawyers are never taught how to cut through the noise and get to the heart of the argument.  Part 1 defined the problem:  Abuse of Power; Trump exerting total control over the Department of Justice to weaponize the law against his enemies.   Don Lemon is the target de jure. In this, Part 2 of "Absolute Power" we consult with communications expert Dr. Randy Olson on how to cut the noise and speak clear truth to power.  But it's not easy, particularly when the powers that be engage in Steve Bannon's strategy of "flooding the zone with shit." Therefore, Dr. Olson provides valuable guidance on how we can better communicate the truth of what's happening.     IN THIS EPISODE:     Cutting through the information maelstrom to find the central theme of your communication (the "Dobzhansky" template); Understanding the power of narrative; Messaging for turbulent times; How Steve Bannon weaponizes non-narrative to "Flood the Zone with Shit"; "The Gish Gallop";  The "DNA" of narrative:  Dream, Nightmare, Action; Constructive critique of Abbe Lowell's press release in the Don Lemon case; The key to narrative is proper framing; A musical finale – in honor of friends and family in Minnesota – "Hospital in Duluth"  (written and performed by Doug Passon, with Ken Murray on harmonica).   LINKS: MORE ON DR.

Recent, publicly released documents from the Epstein files show that French politician Jack Lang had a documented personal relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein that extended over several years. Lang's name and correspondence appear numerous times in Department of Justice files, including emails thanking Epstein for hospitality and evidence that Lang and his family accepted favors such as use of Epstein's vehicles. Epstein also made donations and financial contributions tied to Lang's circle, including to a French nonprofit and film projects linked to Lang's daughter; those connections have already prompted professional consequences for her. Lang has maintained that he did not know about Epstein's criminal activities at the time and has denied wrongdoing, but the documented correspondence and interactions are now a significant part of the broader scrutiny of how Epstein cultivated relationships with influential figures.Similarly, former Norwegian prime minister and Thorbjørn Jagland appears in the Epstein archives with documented contact and communications. Emails published from the files show repeated exchanges between Jagland and Epstein, including plans discussed regarding trips and requests involving contacts overseas, and interactions that span years. Norwegian authorities have now opened a formal criminal investigation into Jagland for gross corruption related to these ties, focusing on whether he received improper benefits such as paid travel, medical bills, or other financial advantages during his time in prominent positions like head of the Norwegian Nobel Committee and Secretary-General of the Council of Europe.

Let's examine an alternate timeline that sees the Knights of Takhisis take over, corrupt Dragonlances and raise a flying Citadel from Icewall. Buy Legends of the Twins: https://www.dmsguild.com/en/product/3252/legends-of-the-twins-3-5?affiliate_id=50797  https://youtu.be/7ptaSEFzU0A Transcript Cold Open Winter should never come in summer. But in this timeline, the snow never stopped falling… And the dragonlances themselves became weapons of darkness. Intro Welcome to another DragonLance Saga episode. My name is Adam, and today we're taking a look at one of the alternate timelines found along the River of Time: the War of the Darklance. I'd like to take a moment and thank the DLSaga members and Patreon patrons, and invite you to consider becoming a member or patron–you can even pick up Dragonlance media or get $10 by signing up to StartPlaying.Games using my affiliate links. I'm referencing the Legends of the Twins sourcebook for this information. If I leave anything out or misspeak, please leave a comment below. Discussion The River of Time carries every age, every hero, and every tragedy forward—but it does not flow as a single, unbroken stream. Branching from it are countless tributaries, alternate Krynns shaped by small divergences or catastrophic changes. The War of the Darklance takes place in one such world. Here, the Graygem is never broken. Chaos is never released. Wild Sorcery and Mysticism never emerge. Ambient magic lies dormant, subdued, and tightly controlled. At first glance, this seems like a safer world. But without Chaos to disrupt the fabric of time, the Balance itself becomes rigid—and fragile. When evil learns from its failures and ceases to destroy itself, the result is not equilibrium. It is domination. At the center of this darkness stands Lord Ariakan, son of Ariakas. Unlike the Dragon Highlords of the past, Ariakan does not cling to pride, infighting, or ancient grudges. Instead, he creates something unprecedented: a unified knighthood modeled after the Knights of Solamnia, but devoted wholly to Queen Takhisis. The Knights of Takhisis embrace modern ideals. They wield magic without fear. They integrate warriors, priests, and mages into a single doctrine. And most importantly—evil does not turn against itself. For the first time, the Dark Queen's forces march with discipline, coordination, and purpose. The turning point of the war comes with an act so profane that it scars the world itself. The Knights of Takhisis cannot create weapons of light—but they can corrupt them. Captured dragonlances are brought before a ritual involving three unholy artifacts: the Altar of Takhisis, the Wand of Corruption, and the Hammer of Darkness. Placed upon the obsidian altar, the dragonlances smoke and weaken. The wand suspends them in a field of pure evil, tearing at their magical essence. Finally, the hammer strikes the blade, sealing the transformation. Thus, the darklance is born. These weapons strip the Whitestone forces of their greatest advantage. And the ritual's consequences ripple outward—into the sky, the land, and the seasons themselves. In the year 383 AC, Ansalon enters a nightmare remembered as the Summer of Frost. Temperatures steadily fall throughout spring. By summer, the world freezes. Crops fail. Livestock die. Starvation spreads faster than any army. The sky becomes perpetually overcast. Paladine seems powerless. Even Chislev cannot restore nature's order. Faith begins to crack. And it is in this moment of desperation that the invasion begins. The Knights of Takhisis strike swiftly. Kalaman falls. The Northern Wastes and Nordmaar collapse soon after. At Icewall, the dead Highlord Aren Feal-Thas is reborn as a death knight, cursed and bound to undeath. Icewall Glacier begins moving north—alive, jagged, relentless—guided by Feal-Thas's thoughts and emotions. Floating above it is Icewall Castle, transformed into a flying citadel. White dragons patrol the skies, wielding darklances, while thanoi, sivak draconians, and barbarian tribes march below. Entire villages vanish beneath the ice. As the Blood Sea freezes solid, the minotaurs see their moment. Led by Chot Es-Kalin, they march across the ice toward Ansalon, beginning a brutal campaign of genocide against the ogres. Though larger and stronger, the ogres lack discipline. Battle after battle, the minotaurs advance—until the thaw comes too late for Chot's secondary forces, which plunge into the Maelstrom beneath the melting ice. Chot himself remains stranded on the mainland, facing an ogre counteroffensive with no retreat. The war spares no one. The Qualinesti Forest burns, assaulted by dragons and Thorn Knights. Qualinost is destroyed. Elves flee—some to Ergoth, others east toward Silvanesti, where they are met with resentment and fear. The High Clerist's Tower falls for the first time in history. Tanis Half-Elven and Steel Brightblade die in its defense. Their fallen comrades are buried in mass graves, their names carved into stone. Palanthas surrenders without a fight. The Tower of High Sorcery is destroyed from within as Dalamar the Dark brings it down to prevent the Knights of the Thorn from reaching the portal to the Abyss. Whether Dalamar survives is unknown. Ergoth becomes the last refuge. Overcrowded. Hungry. Diseased. Clerics of Mishakal work tirelessly, overwhelmed by suffering. Gnomes abandon invention for joy and instead build engines of war. Even the kender feel the weight of despair. Yet resistance survives. Merinda uth Brishard leads roving Solamnic knights. Galvan Stonebreaker wages his private war. Underground movements form in Palanthas and Khur. And even within the darkness, evil begins to strain against itself. Aren Feal-Thas seeks to overthrow Ariakan. Mirielle Abrena consolidates her own power. The Blood War threatens Ariakan's eastern flank. The Balance may yet reassert itself.  This timeline has no fixed ending. The Knights of Takhisis have conquered most of Ansalon. Winter still grips the land. Another natural winter is coming. The Heroes of the Lance are gone. Now, the fate of the world rests with new champions—thieves, killers, outcasts, and survivors—people who may have to abandon honor to preserve hope. If the war can be won, the scars will remain. The land will never be the same. And the people of Ansalon will carry this darkness forever. But if the fight is abandoned—then this tributary of the River of Time ends in ice, silence, and shadow. The War of the Darklance is a world where evil learned, adapted, and nearly won. A Krynn where hope is fragile, honor is costly, and the Balance hangs by a thread.  And that makes it one of the most haunting alternate timelines in all of Dragonlance. Outro But that is all the time I have to talk about the Alternate Timeline: War of the Darklance. Do you like the idea of Dragonlance's being corrupted? Can the death Knight Feal-Thas rival Lord Soth? And finally will the Knights of Takhisis ever be overthrown? Leave a comment below.

There have been persistent reports claiming that Bill Clinton was deeply shaken by the fallout surrounding his association with Jeffrey Epstein, particularly because of fears that Hillary Clinton might finally leave him over it. According to those accounts, Hillary was furious when Epstein's connections to powerful figures resurfaced and when flight logs, photographs, and witness statements reignited public scrutiny around Bill's relationship with Epstein. The reporting describes her as feeling blindsided and humiliated, believing the renewed controversy threatened not only her personal life but her public legacy, and that she was allegedly weighing the possibility of ending the marriage if more damaging information surfaced.Those same sources say Bill became terrified that years of political partnership and personal reinvention were about to collapse. They describe him scrambling behind the scenes to manage the damage, reassure Hillary, and insist that nothing criminal or compromising had occurred, all while working to distance himself publicly from Epstein. The accounts paint a picture of a marriage under extreme pressure, with Bill allegedly fearing that a split during the height of the Epstein revelations would destroy whatever remained of his reputation and cement a narrative he could never escape. Whether those rumors reflect reality or not, they have continued to circulate alongside every new development in the Epstein saga, underscoring how corrosive and far-reaching the scandal has been for anyone connected to it.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Sarah Ferguson's attempt to justify her emails to Jeffrey Epstein by claiming they were done to “protect her daughters” is a transparent deflection that insults basic intelligence. Wrapping herself in the mantle of motherhood, she painted her ongoing contact with a convicted predator as some sort of maternal shield, when in reality it looked like the opposite — a willingness to lean on a disgraced figure for her own convenience while ignoring the wreckage he inflicted on other families. To invoke her children in this context reeks of spin, not sincerity, as though the mere mention of her role as a mother could excuse her proximity to a man whose entire world revolved around abusing minors.The defense collapses under its own hypocrisy. If “protecting children” was truly her priority, she would have cut Epstein off entirely, loudly and unequivocally, once his crimes were undeniable. Instead, she framed her communications as if she were nobly safeguarding her daughters, while simultaneously overlooking that Epstein's empire existed to exploit the very age group she now claims she was shielding. The audacity of such a defense only compounds the disgust: she did not just fail to show moral clarity, she attempted to co-opt parenthood itself as cover for her poor judgment — a move that exposes the rot at the heart of her excuse.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Sarah Ferguson claims she was trying to protect Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie when she sent apology email to Jeffrey Epstein 'as her children come first' | Daily Mail Online

Why Does The Legacy Media Continue To Protect The Clintons From The Epstein Maelstrom?

The Epstein Chronicles

Over the years, critics argue that mainstream media have given Bill Clinton's connections to Jeffrey Epstein notably softer coverage compared to how they've handled other figures—especially Donald Trump. For instance, Charlamagne tha God recently called out this double standard, questioning why the media spotlight rarely turns toward Clinton despite documented ties like the birthday letter he contributed to Epstein's 2003 album, and the iconic portrait of Clinton in a dress found at Epstein's mansion. These moments, many say, are underreported or downplayed compared to the relentless scrutiny Trump receives.Public records show Epstein visited the White House multiple times in the 1990s, and Clinton took several trips aboard Epstein's private jet for foundation-related work—facts that, despite their gravity, haven't resulted in sustained critical media examination. While flight logs and donor event data became publicly available, key questions around why the media hasn't probed deeper into Clinton's Epstein ties—especially when similar connections prompted intense coverage for Trump—remain largely unasked.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comTo contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10408733/The-bid-whitewash-Bill-Clintons-cosy-links-Jeffrey-Epstein-Hillary-ran-President.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

For years, Bill Clinton has managed to stay largely on the periphery of the Epstein scandal, despite documented flights on the financier's private jet and multiple photographs placing him in Epstein's orbit. His denials, combined with a media environment reluctant to press too hard on a former president, have allowed him to weather the storm with minimal direct scrutiny. While others in Epstein's circle faced lawsuits, depositions, and public disgrace, Clinton benefited from a mix of political insulation and a public narrative that treated his connections as incidental rather than integral.That protective bubble may now be at risk. With a subpoena in play, Clinton could be compelled to answer questions under oath—something that strips away the layers of carefully crafted statements and PR-managed denials. The risk isn't just reputational; sworn testimony opens the door to perjury charges if his answers contradict existing evidence or witness accounts. For a figure who has spent decades avoiding legal entanglement over Epstein, this moment could mark a sharp turn from calculated distance to unavoidable confrontation.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:The truth about Bill Clinton's cozy friendship with Jeffrey Epstein and his 'lovely girls' as House subpoenas testimony

Meeting notes for Sponable on Tuesday , August 5, 20245 interview:We welcomed back Jess Sponable, who shared his expertise on the feasibility of the Golden Dome defense system, drawing from his experience with DARPA and DCX. Jess explained that while Golden Dome is technically possible, it would require significant software and sensor technology development, and he noted that the US has robust safeguards against nuclear threats. David and Jess briefly touched on the anniversary of the atomic bombings of Japan to end World War II but did not focus on that topic as part of this program. We did briefly discuss the historical context of nuclear weapons and the decision to drop the atomic bomb to end World War II, emphasizing the potential human cost of an invasion of Japan. I expressed gratitude for President Truman's decision, which he believes saved millions of lives. I then shifted the conversation to vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) technology, tracing its origins to science fiction and highlighting key figures like Phil Bono and Max Hunter who advocated for fully reusable VTOL systems.Jess discussed the evolution of single-stage-to-orbit and vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) concepts, highlighting early crude designs and the Chrysler Beta space shuttle concept. He shared his experience with the DCX program, which flew a subsonic proof of concept demonstrator for a vertical takeoff, landing Lox hydrogen-powered rocket. Jess noted the advantages of VTOL systems, such as a simple launch complex and rapid turnaround times, and mentioned that technology has improved significantly since then. He also mentioned two ongoing efforts for single-stage-to-orbit horizontal takeoff and landing and discussed various companies, including SpaceX, Blue Origin, Rocket Lab, and Relativity Space, that are working towards 100% reusability in space travel.Our guest discussed the reliability and safety of future flight systems, particularly focusing on vertical takeoff and landing vehicles. He compared the engineering challenges of these systems to the development of traditional aircraft, emphasizing the need for reliable engine performance and lightweight designs. David explained that modern rocket engines, with their high thrust-to-weight ratios and simplified designs, could lead to safer and more efficient flight systems in the future.Jess talked about the potential of liquid natural gas as a cheap and clean propellant for future space travel and point-to-point transportation systems. He explained that New Frontier Aerospace, his company, is focusing on developing a system that is more reliable and cost-effective than traditional airplanes, with a target of 2-hour travel times to 98% of global destinations. I mentioned that other companies are experimenting & developing point-to-point travel using orbital vehicles. Jess said that his New Frontier Aerospace is developing a different approach that avoids going to orbit, using a throttle-down rocket for long-distance travel. He also noted that their engine is in the final stages of qualification and will be used in both an orbital transfer vehicle and a delta-wing shaped airframe configuration for initial flights.Jess proceeded to discuss the noise levels of hypersonic vehicles, explaining that while they would be loud during takeoff, the noise would be minimal at cruising altitude of 160,000 feet, similar to a refrigerator or dishwasher. He noted that flight testing would be necessary to determine exact sound levels, and initial operations might focus on unmanned air vehicles. He also described their orbital transfer vehicle, Bifrost, which can transport payloads between various orbits and lunar orbit, powered by their Maelstrom engine.Jess was asked about his company's status as a private, equity and government contract-funded entity. He noted a potential for future public listing but currently focusing on careful growth. He explained that while interns have been considered, the company prioritizes experienced hires due to its early stage and ITAR restrictions on hiring foreign students. David also addressed questions about the DCX hardware, which is now in museums, and clarified that while the company aims to operate from airports rather than spaceports, noise and regulatory concerns need to be addressed with flight test data. He emphasized the importance of operability in system design and distinguished his company's approach from competitors like Boom Aerospace, highlighting its focus on vertical takeoff and landing, lower cost, and potential for both military and commercial markets.Jess went on to discuss a small rocket vehicle with 6 feet by 6 feet dimensions, weighing 3,000 pounds and providing 3,000 pounds of thrust, capable of 5 km/s delta-V and carrying 200-400 kg payload from LEO to GEO. He explained that while the vehicle could be scaled up, larger configurations would require higher propellant mass fractions and different tank configurations, with Falcon 9's second stage as an example of a high-performance design at 87-88% propellant fraction. Jess also noted that LOX/LNG is significantly easier to refuel in orbit than LOX/hydrogen, and discussed the possibility of using multiple engines for lunar lander applications, with existing commercial landers demonstrating feasibility on Falcon 9.Advancing Space Exploration and TechnologyAs we were coming to the close of the program, our guest discussed the progress and challenges in space exploration, highlighting the importance of vertical takeoff and landing systems in the commercial space industry. He expressed optimism about the future of space travel, emphasizing the potential for rapid growth in reusable launch systems and the role of NASA in facilitating this progress. He also addressed the development of nuclear fusion, noting that while significant breakthroughs are still years away, commercial investment in the field is encouraging. He concluded by advocating for continued innovation and collaboration between the private sector and government agencies to advance space exploration and technology.This summary is available at www.thespaceshow.com for this day and date program.

Hyperliquid is one of the most talked-about platforms in crypto right now. It's an onchain perpetuals exchange that sidestepped VCs, built a deeply loyal user base, and launched with transparency most rivals avoid. But it's also staring down some massive challenges—from incoming competitors like Coinbase and Robinhood, to the technical hurdles of decentralizing its core exchange engine. Arthur Hayes, CIO of Maelstrom and one of crypto's most iconic traders, and Hanson Birringer of Flowdesk discuss: What actually drove Hyperliquid's success How a user-first approach is outpacing venture-backed models Whether the James Wynn saga was legit Why the HIP-3 proposal could be the “holy grail” for DEXes And whether Hyperliquid can survive its next big test: the entrance of giants Visit our website for breaking news, analysis, op-eds, articles to learn about crypto, and much more: unchainedcrypto.com Thank you to our sponsors!
