In this episode, Savannah chats with Nicole and asks her outside perspective of the Boooos Crawl that they, plus friends Victoria and Ramien , enjoyed during an epic Halloween weekend in Atlanta! From getting recognized in the iconic yellow Belle gown (Beauty and the Beast) to a second gasp at the Beast's severed head roped at her side, to an awkward 'You're a dude' moment, to meeting complete strangers and finding out at a shared diner experience in the wee hours that by Savannah showing up for herself, she helped others have the confidence to show up, this was a Halloween Spooktacular to remember!-----SAVANNAH HAUK is the author of “Living with Crossdressing: Defining a New Normal” and “Living with Crossdressing: Discovering your True Identity“.

As the data center industry enters the AI era in earnest, incremental upgrades are no longer enough. That was the central message of the Data Center Frontier Trends Summit 2025 session “AI Is the New Normal: Building the AI Factory for Power, Profit, and Scale,” where operators and infrastructure leaders made the case that AI is no longer a specialty workload; it is redefining the data center itself. Panelists described the AI factory as a new infrastructure archetype: purpose-built, power-intensive, liquid-cooled, and designed for constant change. Rack densities that once hovered in the low teens have now surged past 50 kilowatts and, in some cases, toward megawatt-scale configurations. Facilities designed for yesterday's assumptions simply cannot keep up. Ken Patchett of Lambda framed AI factories as inherently multi-density environments, capable of supporting everything from traditional enterprise racks to extreme GPU deployments within the same campus. These facilities are not replacements for conventional data centers, he noted, but essential additions; and they must be designed for rapid iteration as chip architectures evolve every few months. Wes Cummins of Applied Digital extended the conversation to campus scale and geography. AI demand is pushing developers toward tertiary markets where power is abundant but historically underutilized. Training and inference workloads now require hundreds of megawatts at single sites, delivered in timelines that have shrunk from years to little more than a year. Cost efficiency, ultra-low PUE, and flexible shells are becoming decisive competitive advantages. Liquid cooling emerged as a foundational requirement rather than an optimization. Patrick Pedroso of Equus Compute Solutions compared the shift to the automotive industry's move away from air-cooled engines. From rear-door heat exchangers to direct-to-chip and immersion systems, cooling strategies must now accommodate fluctuating AI workloads while enabling energy recovery—even at the edge. For Kenneth Moreano of Scott Data Center, the AI factory is as much a service model as a physical asset. By abstracting infrastructure complexity and controlling the full stack in-house, his company enables enterprise customers to move from AI experimentation to production at scale, without managing the underlying technical detail. Across the discussion, panelists agreed that the industry's traditional design and financing playbook is obsolete. AI infrastructure cannot be treated as a 25-year depreciable asset when hardware cycles move in months. Instead, data centers must be built as adaptable, elemental systems: capable of evolving as power, cooling, and compute requirements continue to shift. The session concluded with one obvious takeaway: AI is not a future state to prepare for. It is already shaping how data centers are built, where they are located, and how they generate value. The AI factory is no longer theoretical—and the industry is racing to build it fast enough.

The “new normal” isn't normal, and deep down we all feel it. As society becomes desensitized to rage, violence, and unkindness, it's easier to recognize the evil in others than the sin within ourselves. This episode challenges that reality and points to the true hope found in Jesus. Learn how He changes hearts and how sharing the Gospel can bring light and lasting impact to those we encounter every day as we near His second coming.*Please take a moment to rate and subscribe to our podcast.Merry Christmas to you and yours as we celebrate the Lord Jesus. Text us for prayer, comments, or ministry questions.Connect with us at: concerningthetimes.com

In this episode, Savannah and Julie talk about Savannah's month-long experience with a rush of body positivity, gender euphoria, and a more positive outlook on her femme life as of late. From some weight loss making the clothes feel and look better, to sources of external support, some renewed internal self-worth validation, and great rewarding events, Savannah has been harnessing all the positive energy from within and from the outside to pump up her self esteem . Because, as we all know, a positive sense of self worth is a balancing act that requires continued nourishment and tending to.-----SAVANNAH HAUK is the author of “Living with Crossdressing: Defining a New Normal” and “Living with Crossdressing: Discovering your True Identity“.

CJ Hopkins is an award-winning playwright and novelist who has lived in Berlin for more than 20 years. He is also a political satirist and is married to a Jewish woman. His 2022 bestseller The New Normal Reich describes a new form of global totalitarianism emerging in the 21^(st) century. Early on, Hopkins described authoritarian Covid politics as part of the so-called ‘New Normal Reich'. However, his book, featuring a face mask bearing a transparent swastika on the cover, has effectively been banned in Germany. The Berlin state prosecutor accused Hopkins of disseminating symbols of unconstitutional/National Socialist organisations due to Twitter posts featuring the book cover. Following an acquittal, the state prosecutor's office appealed and won the case in September 2024. Hopkins then lodged an appeal, and the case is still pending. Judge Clivia von Drewitz, who wrote a doctoral thesis on the Nazi ban on symbols, commented on the legal matter as follows: «According to the ban on symbols (Section 86(1) No. 4, 86a(1) No. 1 StGB), only individuals who disseminate or publicly use Nazi symbols ‘which, according to their content, are intended to continue the efforts of a former National Socialist organisation' can be prosecuted.» Recently, three armed police officers arrived at Hopkins' door with a search warrant. They searched his home, interrogated him and his wife, and confiscated his computer. The reason for this intrusion is, as absurd as it may sound, the selling and distribution of his best-selling book. According to Hopkins, «The German authorities are instrumentalising and perverting the law.» Lena Böllinger, a journalist covering the Hopkins case and others like it, states: «Recently, however, these anti-Nazi laws seem to have become a tool for repressing unwelcome voices.' They affect people who are clearly not Nazis but who merely offer critical, polemical or satirical commentary on current events.» I talked to Hopkins about what happened on 26 November 2025, and, most importantly, we discussed his definition of the ‘New Normal Reich' and the global capitalist system. Rather than judging the book by its cover, as the state prosecutors seem to do, I wanted to know how Hopkins describes the rise of a new form of totalitarianism that is all-encompassing and therefore hard to grasp. Globocap (the global capitalist system), as Hopkins sometimes calls it, does not need an ideology because it can present itself as an unshakable reality. Critics of the system are not just people with a different point of view; they are accused of denying reality, being conspiracy theorists or antisemites. In his analysis, Hopkins does not focus on figures and concrete institutions, even though he knows they are significant. As a playwright, he considers the roles that people play within the system. He also acknowledges that individuals in powerful positions will easily be replaced by new figures who are ready to fulfil the roles required by ‘Globocap'. His analyses do not offer solutions or recommendations; they attempt to describe the dynamics of society as he perceives them. By offering his perspective, he enables his audience to decide how they wish to deal with the rise of a new form of totalitarianism.

In this episode, Savannah gushes to Julie about the various streaming shows and series she is watching. From Netflix's 'Wayward' to 'K-Pop Demon Hunters', to Amazon Prime's 'Gen V', Savannah and Julie talk about how evolved 'queer-coded' storytelling has become over the years. From a transman being a character in a story where their gender identification has nothing to do with the series, to taking a superhero trait of gender-swapping as having issues and problems far outside the scope of gender identity, to a trio of demon-fighting pop star hunters with struggles of being authentic completely outside the scope of queerdom, we are discovering that modern storytelling doesn't have to hit us over the head with "here is a queer subplot I want you to focus on" in order to be successful and poignant.-----SAVANNAH HAUK is the author of “Living with Crossdressing: Defining a New Normal” and “Living with Crossdressing: Discovering your True Identity“.

In this episode, Julie tells Savannah about a social media post she make for "Protect the Dolls" and a comment that made her take the post down and re-evaluate what was most appropriate and most inclusive. While protecting the beautiful, young and passable "dolls" is a just cause, there are many who feel they are old, clockable "bricks" that do not fall under the same protection. Julie discusses the wisdom in the comment she received , the research she did, and the better post she created to treat ALL dolls equal.-----SAVANNAH HAUK is the author of “Living with Crossdressing: Defining a New Normal” and “Living with Crossdressing: Discovering your True Identity“.

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning open the second hour by examining Auston Matthews' weekend on the ice. The guys note a possible decline in his puck touches compared to past seasons and consider how a shift from elite status to merely top-ten form could impact the Leafs' future, especially amid the team's insistence that his play isn't related to previous injuries. They then discuss Elliotte Friedman's report that the Leafs blocked footage from the All or Nothing Amazon Prime documentary involving William Nylander, raising concerns about whether the organization has been too lenient with him and how damaging the unseen footage might have been.

2025 has not gone according to plan.Real estate has been bandied about by headwinds of economic, policy and fundamental changes. Interest rate reductions and rising deal flow has the industry feeling better, but stability is a pipe dream these days, especially when federal data is missing and CRE research can conflict.But forget about the data, economist Peter Linneman said on this week's show — how is it really going in your apartments or your office building?He said CRE has gotten hooked on data analysis and has forgotten that what really matters are the fundamentals on the ground.And while he agrees that uncertainty is the new normal, and that's trouble for CRE, “people adjust.”He foresees a meaningful return to transactions in 2026.“There are people out there with courage, but they don't have capital. And there are others out there whose short investment horizons have made them understandably and correctly not courageous,” he said.“But when everybody else starts jumping, it'll be like the wildebeests crossing the river. They all jump in.”

In this episode, Julie tells Savannah all about the fallacies of women's fashion and how the sizing conventions between all the various online, retail, and high-end fashion designers seldom have a universal standard. Trying on a LARGE for one designer may seem like a size 10, but can also be an ego killer. Conversely, our existing women's fashion sizing ego can also cause us emotional stress. Find out how to leave the ego at the dressing room doors and find success in the dress that fits!-----SAVANNAH HAUK is the author of “Living with Crossdressing: Defining a New Normal” and “Living with Crossdressing: Discovering your True Identity“. While both focus on the male-to-female (mtf) crossdresser, “Defining a New Normal” delves into crossdressing and relationships and “Discovering Your True Identity” looks at the individual crossdressing journey.

The discourse presented herein elucidates the intricate dynamics shaping the furniture industry as of November 10, 2025. Central to our examination is the paradoxical juxtaposition of a robust rebound in overall retail sales, as reported by the Commerce Department, against the notable decline of 1.7% in the furniture and home furnishings sector. This divergence raises critical inquiries regarding consumer behavior, particularly as individuals increasingly prioritize experiential expenditures over substantial home acquisitions, a trend exacerbated by persistent inflation and political instability. Furthermore, our analysis highlights the remarkable outcomes of the recent High Point Market, where exhibitors experienced unexpectedly strong engagement, suggesting a potential reorientation towards product innovation and value amidst an evolving retail landscape. Ultimately, we confront the pressing necessity for the industry to adapt to the transformative influence of artificial intelligence in e-commerce, which has already begun to reshape consumer interactions and purchasing patterns significantly.A comprehensive analysis of the current state of the retail landscape reveals a dichotomy in the performance of various sectors, particularly within the furniture and home furnishings domain. Recent reports from the Commerce Department highlight a robust rebound in overall retail sales for October, showcasing a healthy increase in core sales compared to the previous month and a significant year-over-year growth. This optimistic trend aligns with the National Retail Federation's prediction of a record-breaking holiday season. However, the furniture sector has not shared in this success, experiencing a 1.7% decline year-over-year. This perplexing disparity suggests a shift in consumer priorities, with an apparent preference for smaller purchases and experiential expenditures over significant investments in home furnishings. Despite the backdrop of wage growth and low unemployment rates, consumer sentiment has been adversely affected by persistent inflation, high interest rates, and political instability, leading to a cautious approach among households toward large-ticket items.The recent High Point Market has presented a remarkable counterpoint to the prevailing consumer anxiety, as exhibitors reported unexpectedly strong performances, indicating a potential adjustment to a new normal within the industry. Years of supply chain disruptions have compelled the sector to focus on the fundamentals of product design and value rather than merely logistical concerns. A notable trend observed at the market was the resilience of the case goods market across all price tiers, where suppliers have innovatively utilized materials to deliver attractive designs at accessible price points. Domestic suppliers in the mid-market have capitalized on their advantages, such as shorter lead times, appealing to retailers weary of unpredictable shipping. In the luxury segment, attributes such as craftsmanship, unique materials, and elevated design have driven success, underscoring the importance of a clear value proposition for consumers.Nonetheless, the recovery within the industry remains uneven, as evidenced by Doral Industries' distressing financial results, which contrast sharply with the more favorable outcomes reported by other segments. The company has initiated a strategic pivot toward a leaner wholesale model, consolidating brands and reducing its SKU count, while its juvenile segment has demonstrated resilience amidst these challenges. On a broader scale, the integration of artificial intelligence in e-commerce is rapidly transforming the retail landscape, with substantial increases in referral traffic and conversion rates for AI-driven shopping experiences. As the industry approaches the critical holiday season, the uptick in spending on home goods presents a glimmer of hope, suggesting that the furniture sector...

John's monologue this time talks about the DOJ placing two federal prosecutors on leave after they wrote in a court filing that on Jan. 6, 2021, “thousands of people comprising a mob of rioters attacked the U.S. Capitol”. The 2 D.C. federal prosecutors, Carlos Valdivia and Samuel White, were locked out of their devices and placed on leave just hours after filing a sentencing memo in the case against Taylor Taranto, a former Jan. 6 defendant who went to President Obama's house after Trump revealed Obama's home address on social media. Then, podcast star is back once again to speak with John about the excuses for the never ending government shutdown and Trump's completely routine MRI.
