Today we're putting The Tonearm's needle on bassist and composer Linda May Han Oh.Linda's a Grammy winner who's recorded with Pat Metheny, Kenny Barron, and Joe Lovano. She was even the model for the bassist character in Pixar's 'Soul.' But it's her own work that brings us together.Her latest album, Strange Heaven, explores why we choose familiar hells over strange heavens—why we stick with what we know even when change might save us. It's a question that cuts through everything from personal relationships to political choices.Linda approaches her albums like journals, each one capturing where she is as an artist and a person. Since becoming a mother, she says her music has become more direct, more distilled—less about ego and more about emotional truth.She's here to discuss creative honesty, her work promoting women composers in jazz through the New Standards project, and why making music with emotional directness matters more than ever.(The musical excerpts heard in the interview are from Linda May Han Oh's album Strange Heaven)–Dig DeeperVisit Linda May Han Oh at lindamayhanoh.com and follow her on Instagram, Facebook, and BandcampPurchase Linda May Han Oh's Strange Heavens from Biophilia Recordings, Bandcamp, or Qobuz and listen on your streaming platform of choiceLinda May Han Oh: Tiny Desk ConcertDig into this episode's complete show notes at podcast.thetonearm.com–• Did you enjoy this episode?

The latest In Touch With iOS with Dave is joined by Jill McKinley,Jeff Gamet, Eric Bolden, Marty Jencius, Guy Serle. Episode 395 discusses VisionOS 26.2, Apple's new immersive F-18 video, third-party VR content, iOS/macOS beta features, CarPlay tweaks, and frustrations with notifications. The team reviews five years of M-series chips, explores new satellite features, tests out the digital passport ID in Wallet, debates the bizarre iPhone Pocket, reacts to Tesla adopting CarPlay, and covers Apple TV's plans to stream MLS for free in 2026.

The group jokes about aliens, mental shielding, and Guy's emergency hat deployment skills before shifting into the week's Apple news. They begin with VisionOS 26.2 Beta, noting incremental improvements such as fixes for stylus pressure, stability updates, and lingering bugs in AirDrop visibility, SharePlay DRM playback, and subscription syncing. The panel agrees the update feels like a tightening pass while everyone waits for the next major feature drop. Apple's newest immersive video, "Flight Ready," filmed with Navy F-18s, sparks lively discussion. The group praises the cinematic quality—especially nighttime carrier deck landings and aerial shots—but several mention Apple's signature issue with immersive content: the feeling that "people are way too close to your face." The panel also highlights the increasing amount of third-party immersive Vision Pro content, including music videos, training simulations, and niche experiences created in tools like DaVinci Resolve, signaling that spatial content creation is slowly becoming more accessible. Eric shares his in-store test of the Vision Pro M5, where he focused on widgets, Safari multitasking, virtual displays, and system responsiveness. He intentionally pushed the device hard to see if it stutters—and it didn't. Dave walks through updates in iOS/iPadOS/watchOS/tvOS 26.2 betas, pointing out UI refinements such as expanded Liquid Glass styling, an improved Alarm interface, app sorting options in Game Library, and message-pinning in CarPlay. CarPlay itself becomes a heated topic—Dave explains how answering a call sometimes instantly hangs up afterward. Marty expresses frustration over automotive UI "reactions" in group chats while driving. The general consensus: CarPlay is great… except when it isn't. The group digs into macOS 26.2 (Tahoe) with mixed reactions. While some see improvements, Jeff notes memory issues and audio stack quirks still need addressing. 1Password's new behavior—unlocking automatically after system login—splits the panel. Some appreciate fewer prompts, while others insist on strict manual unlocking for security. A retrospective on five years of Apple's M-series chips follows. Marty mentions real-world benefits moving from M4 to M5, Jeff feels his M2 Pro is still strong, Dave says his M4 Pro Mac mini is now his main machine, and Guy jokes that old Intel Macs were basically "space heaters with keyboards."

fWotD Episode 3116: Aston Martin DB11 Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Saturday, 15 November 2025, is Aston Martin DB11.The Aston Martin DB11 is a two-door grand touring car. It was manufactured as both a coupe and a convertible, the latter known as the Volante. The British carmaker Aston Martin produced the DB11 from 2016 to 2023 when it was replaced by the DB12. The DB11 succeeded the DB9, which the company made between 2004 and 2016. Designed by Marek Reichman, who became lead designer in May 2005, the DB11 debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2016. The first model of Aston Martin's "second-century plan", the DB11—like its predecessor and its platform siblings—incorporates aluminium extensively throughout its body. Official manufacture of the DB11 began at the Aston Martin facility in Gaydon, Warwickshire, in September 2016. Two engine configurations of the DB11 were available: a 4.0-litre V8-engine model produced by Mercedes-AMG and a 5.2-litre V12-engine model produced by Aston Martin. The Volante version of the DB11 was introduced in October 2017. In 2018, Aston Martin and its racing division replaced the DB11 V12 with the DB11 V12 AMR, which brought an increased engine output. The V8-powered model also received an enhancement in engine performance in 2021.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:43 UTC on Saturday, 15 November 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Aston Martin DB11 on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Matthew.

Step into a night where hilltop fires smoke and stubble fields whisper. Eric Extreme guides you through the birth of Halloween, from the fragile veil of Samhain to the carved lanterns of Stingy Jack and the masks that once warded the living from the dead. We trace the journey of customs across oceans and centuries: immigrant hands carving pumpkins, children in guises bargaining for soul cakes, and the slow shift from sacred ritual to suburban spectacle. And reason is poised to peek through the cracks, revealing what lies beyond. Join me as I seek answers in the shadows, explore the whispers that echo in the void, and listen for the faint signals that shape our sense of the supernatural. This is Paranormal Declassified, The Spirit Files, from Mount Washington Valley Spirit Paranormal Investigators. Follow the flicker and decide where mystery ends and science begins. A nearly identical transcript of this episode may be found at:  https://www.mwvspirit.com/blog/2025/11/15/veil-of-fire-the-ancient-origins-of-halloween/ As a paranormal investigator, Eric Extreme has decades of experience. He focuses on the scientific study of perceived paranormal phenomena. In this podcast, he discusses the methods and tools used in investigations, exploring how factors like cognitive biases, environmental conditions, and technological anomalies can influence perceptions of the paranormal. His approach is to identify natural causes first before considering any paranormal explanations. With years of research and fieldwork behind him, he offers insights into how these phenomena can be studied objectively, based on evidence. The goal is to help listeners understand how to approach paranormal investigations focused on science, distinguishing between what can be explained and what cannot. As he always says, "Science comes before the spooky."

Dans l'épisode 67, je répondais à la question "Pourquoi tu cours ?", l'origine d'une pratique reste la même mais les raisons de la poursuivre évoluent dans le temps et on peut être amené à lui laisser plus ou moins d'importance selon les objectifs que l'on a, de ceux que l'on a atteint ou de ceux que l'on abandonne. Je te fais un bilan de mes différentes activités actuelles et des raisons pour lesquelles je les pratique, chose qu'il est important de faire régulièrement pour garder du sens dans ce que l'on fait.Retrouvez-moi ! mail : podfab@free.fr / site : http://podfab.free.fr / Mastodon : @podfab@piaille.fr

La parole circule de plus en plus librement sur les questions de santé mentale, et c'est une bonne chose. Loin de la vision stéréotypée qui prévalait jusqu'ici, cette libéralisation de la parole offre une perspective plus nuancée et réaliste. Mais elle offre aussi un boulevard aux expert•es autoproclamé•es et à une cacophonie de conseils qui perturbe la transmission d'informations fiables sur le sujet. Comme toujours, ces offres non validées scientifiquement passent à côté de la complexité du vécu de chacun•e et de la prise en compte des déterminants sociaux, économiques et environnementaux qui influencent pourtant lourdement notre santé mentale.En septembre 2025, j'ai été invitée à participer à la journée “Foule santé mentale : de l'intime au collectif“ organisée par Psycom au ministère de la Santé. L'occasion de faire un état des lieux du “marché“ de la santé mentale et de ses potentielles dérives. L'occasion aussi de présenter des solutions collectives, à contre-courant de l'injonction actuelle à “prendre soin de soi“ pour s'adapter à des conditions de vie difficiles.Comment prendre soin de sa santé mentale ? Nous abordons cette question autour d'une table-ronde avec les intervenant•es suivants :Aude CARIA : Directrice de Psycom - Santé mentale Info ;Sophie ARFEUILLÈRE : Chargée d'innovation pédagogique de Psycom ;Élisabeth FEYTIT : Documentariste et créatrice du podcast Méta de Choc ;Samir KHALFAOUI : Conseiller santé de la Miviludes ;Maeva MUSSO : Psychiatre et pédopsychiatre, Présidente de l'Association des jeunes psychiatres et jeunes addictologues (AJPJA) ;Marie-Christine STANIEC-WAVRANT : Adjointe santé et lutte contre les exclusions Mairie de Lille, Vice-Présidente du Réseau français Villes-Santé.•• SOUTENIR ••Méta de Choc est gratuit, indépendant et sans publicité.

fWotD Episode 3115: Elinor Fettiplace Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Friday, 14 November 2025, is Elinor Fettiplace.Elinor Fettiplace (born Elinor Poole, later Elinor Rogers; c. 1570 – in or after 1647) was an English cookery book writer. Probably born in Pauntley, Gloucestershire, into an upper-class land-owning farming family, she married into the well-connected Fettiplace family and moved to a manor house in the Vale of White Horse (then in Berkshire, now in Oxfordshire).In common with many ladies of the Elizabethan era, Fettiplace wrote a manuscript book. It is now known under the title Elinor Fettiplace's Receipt Book, with details of recipes for dishes and meals, medical remedies and tips for running the household. She dated the work 1604, but it is possible that she began writing it several years earlier, when she was still living with her mother. The book was passed down through her family, initially to her niece, until it was handed to the husband of the twentieth-century writer Hilary Spurling. Spurling conducted research on Fettiplace's identity and the contents of the book, and published the work in 1986.Fettiplace's husband died in 1615; she moved back to Gloucestershire and married a local man, Edward Rogers, who died in 1623. She lived until at least 1647.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:07 UTC on Friday, 14 November 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Elinor Fettiplace on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Matthew.

pWotD Episode 3117: Jeffrey Epstein Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 183,957 views on Thursday, 13 November 2025 our article of the day is Jeffrey Epstein.Jeffrey Edward Epstein (January 20, 1953 – August 10, 2019) was an American financier and child sex offender. Born and raised in New York City, Epstein began his professional career as a teacher at the Dalton School. After his dismissal from the school in 1976, he entered the banking and finance sector, working at Bear Stearns in various roles before starting his own firm. Epstein cultivated an elite social circle and procured many women and children whom he and his associates sexually abused.In 2005, police in Palm Beach, Florida, began investigating Epstein after a parent reported that he had sexually abused her 14-year-old daughter. Federal officials identified 36 girls, some as young as 14 years old, whom Epstein had allegedly sexually abused. Epstein pleaded guilty and was convicted in 2008 by a Florida state court of procuring a child for prostitution and of soliciting a prostitute. He was convicted of only these two crimes as part of a controversial plea deal agreed by the US Department of Justice's Alex Acosta, and served almost 13 months in custody but with extensive work release.Epstein was arrested again on July 6, 2019, on federal charges for the sex trafficking of minors in Florida and New York. He died in his jail cell on August 10, 2019. The medical examiner ruled that his death was a suicide by hanging. Epstein's lawyers have disputed the ruling, and there has been significant public skepticism about the true cause of his death, resulting in numerous conspiracy theories. In July 2025, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) released CCTV footage to support the conclusion that Epstein died by suicide in his jail cell. When the Department of Justice released the footage, approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds of it was missing, and the video was found to have been modified despite the FBI's claim that it was raw.Since Epstein's death precluded the possibility of pursuing criminal charges against him, a judge dismissed all criminal charges on August 29, 2019. Epstein had a decades-long association with the British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, who recruited young girls for him, leading to her 2021 conviction on US federal charges of sex trafficking and conspiracy for helping him procure girls, including a 14-year-old, for child sexual abuse and prostitution.According to The New York Times, Epstein made much of his fortune by providing tax and estate services to billionaires. He was also a renowned social networker, whose vast network included business people, royalty, politicians and academics. His friendships with public figures including Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Donald Trump and Bill Clinton have attracted significant controversy. Documents released by the House Democratic Caucus in September 2025 show that he maintained connections with Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and Steve Bannon.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:22 UTC on Friday, 14 November 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Jeffrey Epstein on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Justin.

En este episodio me sumerjo en uno de los entornos de escritorio más comentados y esperados del mundo open source: COSMIC.Mi podcast se centra en Linux y el software de código abierto, ofreciendo soluciones y métodos para mejorar la productividad, y al ver el hype alrededor de COSMIC, no pude resistirme. Lo instalé en mi ArchLinux con el objetivo de probarlo a fondo, ver cómo se comporta y, sobre todo, evaluar si realmente ofrece algo que me haga considerar migrar de mi combinación actual de GNOME y Niri.Y lo cierto es que me he encontrado con un escritorio interesante, que combina la opción por un Tiling Window Manager con la de un escritorio tradicional. Pero, como en toda herramienta, tengo mis peros.Análisis de COSMIC: Lo Bueno, Lo Malo y Mis Críticas SincerasLa Excelencia en Tiling: Sin lugar a dudas, lo que más me ha gustado de Cosmic es su gestor de ventanas tipo tiling. Sinceramente, es la mejor experiencia de Tiling Window Manager que he probado hasta la fecha en un entorno de escritorio tradicional. Esta es una gran ventaja sobre los gestores puros (i3, Sway, Niri) que te obligan a instalar y configurar un lanzador, un gestor de red, una barra de tareas, etc. Si buscas probar el tiling sin complicarte la vida, COSMIC es una gran opción.Productividad en Código: ¿Mejor que Niri? A pesar de la calidad de su Tiling, no alcanza el nivel de Niri para programar. Con Niri, tengo la facilidad de construir el espacio de trabajo que necesito en cada momento con una rapidez y sencillez inigualables. En este aspecto, COSMIC todavía no se acerca a la fluidez que busco.Los Auxiliares y Configuración: Cosmic incluye todas esas herramientas que completan la experiencia de usuario: barra de tareas, dock, notificaciones. La herramienta de configuración es bastante completa y muy al estilo GNOME, lo que la hace familiar para muchos usuarios. No tiene tantas opciones como GNOME, pero es funcional.La Decepción Estética (¡El Aspecto Visual de 2015!): Este es mi gran "pero". Desde mi punto de vista, el aspecto visual de Cosmic es propio de hace diez años. Es como volver al pasado. No está tan pulido como GNOME o KDE; la integración con herramientas de terceros es mejorable y, sinceramente, le queda un largo camino para ser un entorno de escritorio atractivo.Las Aplicaciones Nativas y mi Problema con Flatpak: Confieso que no me gustan las aplicaciones nativas de Cosmic; creo que el equipo debería centrarse en pulir el entorno para integrar perfectamente las aplicaciones de terceros. Pero lo que realmente "remata la fiesta" es la tienda de aplicaciones. Resulta que todas las aplicaciones que ofrece, o al menos las que vi, hay que instalarlas con Flatpak. Ya sabéis que no puedo con Flatpak; me parece una locura que para instalar una herramienta sencilla haya que descargar paquetes que ocupan una barbaridad, se integran pobremente y, a menudo, ni funcionan correctamente.Conclusión: El tiling de Cosmic funciona muy bien y es una gran puerta de entrada para los nuevos usuarios. Pero en el resto de aspectos, todavía tiene mucho que recorrer para estar a la altura de entornos más maduros como GNOME o KDE.Si buscas soluciones prácticas para la gestión de datos, la optimización de sistemas Linux o quieres ver la evolución de tecnologías clave como Docker, Neovim, Rust o Traefik, este episodio te dará una perspectiva útil sobre el futuro de los escritorios Linux.Más información y enlaces en las notas del episodio

fWotD Episode 3114: 270 Park Avenue (1960–2021) Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Thursday, 13 November 2025, is 270 Park Avenue (1960–2021).270 Park Avenue, also known as the JPMorgan Chase Tower and the Union Carbide Building, was a skyscraper in the Midtown Manhattan neighborhood of New York City. Built in 1960 for chemical company Union Carbide, it was designed by the architects Gordon Bunshaft and Natalie de Blois of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM). The 52-story, 707-foot (215 m) skyscraper later became the global headquarters for JPMorgan Chase. It was demolished in 2021 to make way for a taller skyscraper at the same address. At the time of its destruction, the Union Carbide Building was the tallest voluntarily demolished building in the world.The building occupied a full city block bounded by Madison Avenue, 48th Street, Park Avenue, and 47th Street. It was composed of two sections: a 52-story tower facing Park Avenue to the east and a 12-story annex facing Madison Avenue to the west, both surrounded by public plazas. About two-thirds of 270 Park Avenue was built atop two levels of underground railroad tracks, which feed directly into Grand Central Terminal to the south. This not only prevented a basement from being built under most of the site but also required that the lobby be one story above ground level. Union Carbide's offices were designed around a grid of 5-by-5-foot (1.5 by 1.5 m) modules. The offices contained flexible furnishings and partitions, as well as luminous ceilings. The Union Carbide Building received mixed reviews during its existence, and the presence of the building's plazas helped influence the 1961 Zoning Resolution.The site was occupied by the Hotel Marguery between 1917 and 1957. Union Carbide leased the land from New York Central Railroad (later Penn Central) and announced plans for the building in 1955. Union Carbide moved into its headquarters in 1960 and acquired the underlying land in 1976 after Penn Central went bankrupt. After three years of negotiations, Union Carbide agreed in 1978 to sell the building to Manufacturers Hanover Corporation. Manufacturers Hanover moved into 270 Park Avenue in 1980 and renovated the building. Through several mergers, Manufacturers Hanover became part of JPMorgan Chase, which announced plans to demolish the building in 2018. Despite preservationists' objections, the Union Carbide Building was demolished from 2019 to 2021.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:30 UTC on Thursday, 13 November 2025.For the full current version of the article, see 270 Park Avenue (1960–2021) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Justin.

erasureemulating sand mandalas(note: you can read the original posting here)It's November 1st, 2025 and as you can hear, I'm not at home. We've been traveling for the last couple of weeks in Ecuador. We're now in the Amazon near Tena in the territory of the Kichwa people (Anaconda Lodge).I'm reading you this a calm presence posting called erasure. What I've just done, or I will do soon, is erase all 81 postings that I have made in French and in English, on this Substack.I'm starting from scratch, and it feels good.Let me explain…When I first launched a calm presence in February of 2024, my intentions were to share my learnings ‘for those in need of a calm presence'. That's a term that I borrowed from Dharma teacher Catherine Ingram.And it was successful. People would respond and I would essentially think out loud.But I've come to realize that these essays and opinion pieces - heartfelt as they might be - are snapshots in time that quickly become outdated. They weren't meant to be kept, really, but I kept them anyway, because that's the way we do things.We don't throw things out, partially because of vanity, but also to have a trail of one's work or thinking. A few days ago we were hiking in the Andes and the Tibetan Buddhist tradition of sand mandalas came to mind, so I went to Wikipedia. Sand mandalas are defined as :the creation and destruction of mandalas made from colored sand. Once complete, the sand mandala's ritualistic dismantling is accompanied by ceremonies and viewings to symbolize Buddhist doctrinal belief in the transitory nature of material life. The transitory nature of material life, which is more or less what a calm presence is about. This got me thinking : what if, with all due respect to Tibetan culture and any cultural borrowings, I emulated the creation and the destructive process of sand mandalas with the content and form of a calm presence. If not emulate, then at least be inspired by this way of creating, knowing that it will be returned to the Earth, so to speak.And since this is a digital art or digital project, I started thinking about what it meant for all those digits that retain the knowledge somehow, or at least carry it, what happens when they get dispersed? And so it opened up a whole new world, new way of thinking about writing and dissemination and memory and related issues. I was inspired by the sand mandala tradition. I'll read you a quote of how it's described : into flowing water to symbolize the cycle of life and the dissolution of the physical world.So when the sand is returned, it is through water and then dispersed back into nature. And there's the healing energy side to things that also interests me and that I will explore further. I think the idea is when somebody reads a calm presence posting, it is metabolized. They retain whatever they want to retain. It can be a word or two, a couple of thoughts, and then that's it. There's no need to go back to it. After a few weeks of it being present in our lives, it disappears.And another comes along when it's relevant and so on and so forth. There isn't the accumulation, there's simply an experiencing that goes on as part of day-to-day life. I like that and I'm going to give it a try. And if you so wish, you can continue to follow and hear or read these postings, which won't be much longer than this one today. And before leaving, I want to thank the 290 subscribers to a calm presence. It's been good to have the company and the exchange, but I also want to remind you that you're more than welcome to unsubscribe if you want to take a break. Don't feel obliged, I won't be offended.This is a kind of word-of-mouth activity. The way that I read and share, I think, is the way I like to work. If something inspires you or motivates you or resonates somehow, I just let that be shared in whichever way you want. Sometimes it's a story, sometimes it's an electronic transfer passing on. This is the first of these new postings, the Sand Mandela inspired series which will disappear soon. I wish you all the best.*Cover photo of moss at 4100 meters, Quito, Ecuador by Claude Schryer *END NOTES FOR ALL EPISODESHey conscient listeners, I've been producing the conscient podcast as a learning and unlearning journey since May 2020 on un-ceded Anishinaabe Algonquin territory (Ottawa).

Joël and Sally analyse their job titles as they try to figure out exactly which borrowed labels best define their work at thoughtbot. Together they break down the components of commonly used titles such as engineer, architect and consultant to see which element reflects their work best, how they would describe their roles at thoughtbot, which industries they'd draw from if they came up with their own titles, and what does Lil Wayne have to do with all this? — For a deeper dive into today's episode consider checking out Hillel Wayne's post “Are we really engineers?” (https://www.hillelwayne.com/post/are-we-really-engineers/) and Henrik Kniberg's article on Minimal Viable Products (https://blog.crisp.se/2016/01/25/henrikkniberg/making-sense-of-mvp).

Contrary to what social media would have us believe, not every hobby has to turn into a madly successful side-hustle that takes the world by storm. Margaret talks with Liz Gumbinner, co-host of the podcast ⁠"Spawned with Kristen and Liz⁠," about why it's okay to just make really delicious cookies. ⁠Liz Gumbinner⁠ is a writer, award-winning ad agency creative director, and mom of teens. Online she's better known as the publisher of ⁠coolmompicks.com⁠ and the author of the OG mom blog Mom-101. Her Substack newsletter, ⁠I'm Walking Here⁠, looks at media, politics, and culture through a witty parenting lens. Liz and Margaret discuss why parenting itself has become another thing to "hustle" around, as well as the difference between ambition and "the hustle." It's great to spend a night with your family or friends without taking/posting any pics at all and just being present, says Liz. It gives you perspective on what's important in life and helps you refocus how you want to spend more of your time.

Today we're digging into the Model Context Protocol, or MCP. Think LSP for AI: build a small Python service once and your tools and data show up across editors and agents like VS Code, Claude Code, and more. My guest, Den Delimarsky from Microsoft, helps build this space and will keep us honest about what's solid versus what's just shiny. We'll keep it practical: transports that actually work, guardrails you can trust, and a tiny server you could ship this week. By the end, you'll have a clear mental model and a path to plug Python into the internet of agents.
