Linda Holmes is a best-selling author and one of the hosts of NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour. But you know what an hour is that wasn't always happy? Melrose Place. Oh, it's true. Melrose Place was a nighttime soap opera in the 1990s and it told the stories of the residents of a fictitious apartment complex in Los Angeles where everyone's lives were complicated. The people were complicated, the relationships were complicated, even the maintenance plans for motorcycles were surprisingly complicated. Linda paid attention, though, and joins us to unravel - and sometimes re-ravel - the intricacies of the first season of Melrose Place. We could have gone on to subsequent seasons but honestly, you won't stay awake through even this update about the first season. Let some heated melodrama send you off to dreamland, Sleepyheads.Hey Sleepy Heads, is there anyone whose voice you'd like to drift off to, or do you have suggestions on things we could do to aid your slumber? Email us at:  sleepwithcelebs@maximumfun.org.Follow the Show on:Instagram @sleepwcelebsTwitter @SleepWithCelebsTikTok @SleepWithCelebsJohn is on Twitter @johnmoe.John's acclaimed, best-selling memoir, The Hilarious World of Depression, is now available in paperback.Join | Maximum FunIf you like one or more shows on MaxFun, and you value independent artists being able to do their thing, you're the perfect person to become a MaxFun monthly member. 

Since Connor has NO takes about James Harden, Producer Josh lists the five biggest sports malcontents of all-time.

Supersized episode where we tear into Ari Aster's first two features, Hereditary and Midsommar, and discuss his genius as a filmmaker. Does that mean we love both movies? Does that mean our favorite is your favorite? You'll have to listen to find out. We address not only our opinions but we react to each other's opinions and address some opinions we've gathered from other people.

What is envy? What is the anti-venom to envy? How does envy harm us and others? Listen to this wonderful homily Fr. Ben served up this past weekend. 

Today we do a fun little recap of the nazis who had been showing up to Sacramento City Council meetings in recent weeks, such as religious zealot Ryan Messano, Proud Boy Jeffrey Perrine, and "Scotty" from the dumbest white nationalist group in history. Oddly enough, when Sacramento community members showed up to remind the nazis that they weren't welcome in our city, they stopped coming to the meetings. We take a moment, however, to discuss how their hateful messaging has been popping up all around California, and how a woman associated with the far-right Moms of Liberty has been on a mission to put an end to rainbow crosswalks in Davis, CA, in anticipation of Pride Month. Should we expect more hatred in the coming weeks? Finally, we discuss an anachronistic piece written by former cop/former state assembly member (and current sheriff of Sacramento County) Jim Cooper, arguing for a redux of the drug war. Haven't we all been through enough? Thanks for listening and, as always: Twitter: @youknowkempa, @ShanNDSTevens, @guillotine4you Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/voicesrivercity   Sacramentans can hear us on 103.1 KUTZ Thursdays at 6 pm and again Fridays at 8 am.

David The Shepherd Warrior This series focuses on the life of David. Why should we study the life of this man? David's story is a picture of Messianic typology. We see in David the struggle against the flesh that is so typical in all of us. And we will see what a man after God's own heart looks like. We start in 1 Samuel 16 where the Israelites cry for a king. It is a period of hopeless humanism, void of leadership. The people choose a man based on outward appearance, electability and sound bites. They chose Saul, tall, dark and handsome. Saul was a good looking man, but he lacked character. He was prone to hot tempered outbursts, bouts of intense depression and capable of incredible evil, jealousy, control, obsession with fame and even murder. God gives them Saul. But waiting in the wings is a shepherd boy, David.

# Introduction I want to remind you, *encourage* you, as well as myself, that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. Paul asserted such to the Corinthians at the end of his great argument for the Christian's resurrection. > Therefore (in light of your resurrection to immortality and glory in Christ's resurrection), my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that **in the Lord** your labor is not in vain. (1 Corinthians 15:58) You might suppose that certain resurrection, to an existence where perishability and dishonor and weakness is no more, would make our sowing in the natural, temporal body only as significant as the dust we're made from (see 15:42-44, 49). But Paul says the opposite. And if we connect it with the same wisdom Solomon pundit-ed we grasp that our perceiving of life *beyond* the sun is the only guarantee of meaning and *joy* in our toil under the sun. All sorts of things are ramping up even as summer winds down. The school year, arbitrarily determined as it is, sets almost as many of our current rhythms as the calendar year and the changing of seasons. The start of the school year is a mini restart, and whether you are a student or parent or parent-teacher or teacher or just someone who drives through slower-speed limit school zone traps, we can see that there is a Wholelotta Work to do. *And*, as much as ever it would be easy to be disturbed/distracted/discouraged from our work because the world has gone crazy. The world is in a war of crazy. The world is full of those apparently trying to outdo one another in crazy (contra outdoing one another in showing honor as Paul exhorted in Romans 12:10). In many ways the crazy is hard to ignore. As the man pointed out in “Hoosiers,” there is a difference between a man who gets naked and howls at the moon and a man who does the same thing in your living room. Folly seems omnipresent, if not eternal. But folly *isn't* either. The Lord gives His people *perspective*--wisdom and hope, as well as *pleasure*--a glad satisfaction, when He enables them to see beyond the sun, when we know there is more than the disrobed howler in eye-sight. So as you get back into a season of earlier mornings (maybe), and moldy water bottles, as the rain inevitably returns and dampens your enthusiasm, as you keep watching the (intentional) damage being done to us, our country and companies, by our own representatives, may the word of the Lord encourage your *labor* in the Lord, and may He give you enjoyment in the process. # Having Only Half All of what we have is **gift**. We have *nothing* that we weren't given (1 Corinthians 4:7), even if what we were given were “raw” resources to obtain other things. It's important to remember that because we're supposed to be thankful to the Giver, and also because we cannot make or find joy on our own. This is the dark side of King Solomon's coin in Ecclesiastes 6. Solomon observed a heavy evil, a brutal burden on men who are given everything they think that they could want except for *joy*. > he lacks nothing of all that he desires, yet God does not give him power to enjoy them (Ecclesiastes 6:2) This man has money, toys, and respect. He has a thousands-of-years long life (6:6) and hundreds of great-grand kids (6:3). But he doesn't have thankfulness, "his soul is not satisfied" (6:3), whether it's because he wants more and more (the law of diminishing returns) or because he finds that his huge pile really is hollow. All he has is in this life, and all he has still isn't the life he wishes for. Ecclesiastes describes the vanity of vanities under the sun, that is, life *not* in and for the Lord. “Under the sun” is almost a technical phrase to describe the perspective of the [this-aged man](https://tohuvabohu.org/2021/08/not-in-the-now/), the man for whom the present is his only perspective and priority. Solomon himself tried to find his happy place, and couldn't find it through great projects or many women or feasting parties or platonic contemplation. Work and wife and wine and weekends aren't wrong per se, but unless they are received as gift from God they can never be a satisfactory god. Solomon had great exterior glory (per Jesus in Matthew 6:29), but it could not make him glad. We are relentlessly tempted to think that gladness is a step or two away. Gladness is Then. It's sure to be found at the bottom of the laundry basket, when the inbox is empty, when the work week is over, when the final grades are entered, when the baby comes out, when the mask mandates are not just over but *vindicatedly* over. It's like saying that we'll be glad when the sun stops and the earth is still. Celebrate the ends, sure, but finishes and the ability to hold them well also comes from God. He alone gives power to enjoy them. # How Time Flies There are a few similar sections in Ecclesiastes about where real joy is found. The first is in 2:24-26, the second is in 3:12, and the third 5:18-20. This third buoy sets up the contrast in chapter 6, and gives us wisdom to know how time flies. > Behold what I have seen to be good and fitting is to eat and drink and find enjoyment in all the toil with which one toils under the sun the few days of his life that God has given him, for this is his lot (Ecclesiastes 5:18) As contrasted with evil and vanity/emptiness (6:2), this is **good** and **fitting**, quotidian joy-finding. **To eat and drink** are to live, they are ordinary and daily, with only breathing more vital, but typically less consciously accomplished. Even when you're on vacation you eat and drink. Solomon wasn't writing wisdom for a bunch of vacation hopefuls anyway, but for the day laborers. He calls it **toil** twice. Since Genesis 3 it's been *hard work* (NET), labor (NASB), *travail* (Wycliffe), and not recess. Toil makes tired. Toil takes a toll. Toil, even for your dream job, still means your time isn't spent doing something else. Find enjoyment **in** it, not after it or outside of it. Find in enjoyment in **all** of it, not just from 9-5, or 4 days per week, or a majority percentage. The Hebrew verb is just “see,” which means look for it, hence **find** it. Just as *whatever* food you eat and beverage you drink, so whatever work is toil, whether professional or amateur, whether for business or household, whether glamorous or menial. Does it need to be done and are you doing it? Find the joy in it. The fact that you will only be around for about four thousand weeks (80 years, see also Psalm 90:10, which also says “their span is but toil and trouble”), on earth is no discouragement *to God*. Your days *are given*, they are gift, including--and this takes wisdom--the gift to see all that did *not* get done today. > Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might, for there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are going. (Ecclesiastes 9:10) We spend too much time looking for a better job instead of looking better for joy. What a gift, that we live in a day when there are all sorts of ways to earn money to buy food and wine so that your body can turn those into more energy for work (and joy). But we are missing out by focusing on a resume instead of focusing on rejoicing. "Can rejoice no matter the job" would be a lot of virtue on a *cirricula vitae*. Looking for joy in all the wrong places, namely, in the places we're not. We're supposed to find joy, not find the job. There's more. > Everyone also to whom God has given wealth and possessions and power to enjoy them, and to accept his lot and rejoice in his toil--this is the gift of God. (Ecclesiastes 5:19) We're back to seeing all of life as gift, and here is the complete package, including acceptance of assignment, including vocation without feeling the vanity, including enjoying the process. The phrases overlap. **Power to enjoy** is conscious gratitude, **accept his lot** is conscious gratitude, and **rejoice in toil** is conscious gratitude. *You* don't have to be here at all. None of the good, none of this work, none of you or me is necessary for the universe. It is gift. Your job, seen from beyond the sun, is amazing. Who knew *that* could be a job? Who knew people would pay you to do it? Who knew how frustrating it could be? Who knew you had so much endurance in you? Such sight, and the purpose to see good, is gift. Not everyone gets it. In chapter 2 Solomon says it similarly: > There is nothing better for a person than that he should eat and drink and find enjoyment in his toil. This also, I saw, is from the hand of God, for apart from him who can eat or who can have enjoyment? For to the one who pleases him God has given wisdom and knowledge and joy, but to the sinner he has given the business of gathering and collecting, only to give to one who pleases God. This also is vanity and a striving after wind. (Ecclesiastes 2:24–26) As Doug Wilson once illustrated, God gives cans of peaches *and* God gives can openers. The blessed get both. It's what makes time seem like it is flying by. > For he will not much remember the days of his life because God keeps him occupied with joy in his heart. (Ecclesiastes 5:20) I am not saying that everyone needs to be Tigger, but it is a sign of judgment that our culture has no bounce. We are consumed with envy, with perceived hurts and grievances, with complaints about how everyone else is so wrong. We have become the Discontents, the Malcontents, and this is not because we see better, it is because we are *blind*. We are speaking the same language, just like babbling is one, so is grumbling (*γογγυσμός*); it all sounds the same. Such misery is a slow burn, and makes every line feel longer. Even in our battles, may there be more rejoicing, more of a jovial warrior spirit. What I mean is, jovial in the joy of the Lord, not that we get to humiliate another human, even if that man is presidentially incompetent. # Conclusion Here's a pithy point by C. S. Lewis in his address, “Learning in Wartime” given 51 days after Germany invaded Poland at the beginning of WWII: > “Happy work is best done by the man who takes his long-term plans somewhat lightly and works from moment to moment ‘as to the Lord.'” (62) Be decisively joyful. Let joy be the bass drum, always setting the pace. Gird your loins to rejoice in your toil—this is the gift of God. Yours is a lot of rejoicing. ---------- ## Charge Don't fear those who are only living for this life because that's the only thing they can see. Their narrow, and anxious, concerns make sense to them, but we do not need to adopt the same shortcomings. Look to the hand of God, and to the Son of Man who is at God's right hand (Acts 7:55; Colossians 3:1; 1 Peter 3:22), for your work and rejoice (!) in wonder of all He's given. ## Benediction: > Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain. (1 Corinthians 15:57-58, ESV)

In this week's Critic podcast, Professor Jeremy Black, author of Imperial Legacies: the British Empire around the world, argues that campaigns across universities to "decolonise the curriculum" are often less about broadening the range of interpretations of the past and more about promoting a radical alternative political agenda.  Graham Stewart also talks to the critic, Nicholas T. Parsons, author of Civilisation and its Malcontents on how oligarch money is turning the art world into a circus of absurdity. And the Critic's artist in residence, Miriam Elia, talks with Graham about the satisfaction of caricaturing the postures of the chattering classes. -- Right now we're offering 3 months for just £5.

Anyone else tired of the world the way it is? Anyone tired of hearing that rottenness and pain are just the way things are and won’t change? In this season of Advent we prepare for the reign of God to come and wipe away our tears; to put an end to injustice… and we, like John the Baptist, seem a little cranky about the wait. Advent is about preparing for the transformation God is bringing to our world and to our own hearts and minds. Come, Lord Jesus!

Jamie, Sean and Andy take a field trip to the occupied New School to interview "K," an anonymous student, about New School students' latest direct action in solidarity with cafeteria workers (repped by UNITE HERE Local 100) and grad students (SENS-UAW). Later, back at the ranch, the gang contextualizes this occupation with some history of the modern university: its roots, its social function, and how it has developed as a site of struggle. What happened in the '70s and '80s that made college so expensive, yet also so necessary? The through-lines from the student occupations of the 1960s to Occupy Wall Street to the Bernie Sanders campaign. Sean and Andy reminisce about their own college years and reveal how they met. Sorry for the poor sound quality, it was our first time recording outside the studio!

The malconents have, once again, wrought revenge on the know-it-alls, landing Britain with a hung parliament instead of the predicted Conservative landslide. Steve Richards sees election 2017 as one more instance of the worldwide trend for outsiders causing an upset at the expense of an establishment which has lost all legitimacy since the economic crisis of a decade ago. Rachel Sylvester says the campaign performed an X-ray on Theresa May's political soul, and revealed a brittle character that was never strong nor stable. Meanwhile, David Berry looks back to the 1930s, when radicals took a break from politics to set up tennis clubs—and made with such success that they took gas fitters and machinists to the All England Club, in the Worker's Wimbledon.

This week we scrapped plans for the podcast we had planned to address a controversy that emerged at Edison Research, Tom Webster's company. It was time for us to reflect on the great two-edged sword we all face on the Internet: the historically important opportunity to publish and be heard, and the vulnerability we face to be skewered without compassion ... or facts. Overall, the Internet is a good place. A VERY good place, in fact. But it is also a reflection of the human race and about 2 percent of the population discovers some psychological reward in being angry. Twenty years ago, a business could probably ignore those people without much damage but today there is a very real chance that strategy will make the problem worse. Big business or small, we must be aware of these risks and the appropriate responses. In this discussion, we cover ...

We continue our series titled, "In a Manner of Speaking" today. We are exploring the ways we speak to God and how God hears us. The most common way we tend to identify as our communication to God, is prayer. We are reminded in today's lesson that God hears everything we communicate for better or worse. In today's text, we revisit the time of Israel after having been set free from Egyptian captivity. It didn't take long for Israel to forget all the wonder of God witnessed in the Exodus. Where do we find ourselves in this story? Listen along as we ponder this insightful and most meaningful text.

Antiitalianismus artikulierte sich seit dem frühen 15. Jahrhundert gegen italienische Einflüsse auf die französische Sprache und Kultur. Seit den 1560er Jahren verstärkten sich antiitalienische Tendenzen, die sich, über den kulturellen Bereich hinaus, gegen die Monopolstellung von Italienern im wirtschaftlichen Bereich und ihre starke Präsenz am Hof richteten. Die Bartholomäusnacht 1572 löste eine Welle von, hauptsächlich protestantischen, Pamphleten und politischen Streitschriften aus, die Katherina von Medici und ihre italienischen Berater für die Ereignisse zur Verantwortung zogen und die Verwandlung der französischen Monarchie in eine tyrannische Herrschaft der Italiener beschworen. Antiitalianismus ist in den 1570er Jahren also vor allem als Ausdruck einer politischen Krisensituation zu verstehen. Im Mittelpunkt der Arbeit stehen sechs zentrale Quellen (u. a. Innocent Gentillets Anti-Machiavel, François Hotmans Francogallia, der Reveille-Matin des François sowie der Discours merveilleux), deren Autoren der Gruppierung der Monarchomachen bzw. Malcontents zugerechnet werden können. Besonders in den Texten der Malcontents ist Antiitalianismus als Ausdruck einer tiefgreifenden Unzufriedenheit des Adels zu verstehen, der sich durch die starke wirtschaftliche Stellung und Nobilitierung vieler immigrierter Italiener in seinen Positionen bedrängt sah. Durch das antiitalienische Klima wurde der zu diesem Zeitpunkt aufkommende Antimachiavellismus in Frankreich verschärft. Ferner war die Abgrenzung gegenüber Italienern ein Mittel der nationalen Selbstidentifikation: Über den Rückgriff auf tradierte, nationale Stereotypen und rhetorische Gemeinplätze konnte das Feindbild der Italiener im polemischen Diskurs aufgeladen werden. Indem die Abgrenzung zu Italien auf politischer, religiöser und kultureller Ebene der Affirmation einer eigenen französischen Identität diente, förderte Antiitalianismus die Herausbildung eines nationalen Bewusstseins.
