If we abolish the family policing system, how do we respond to child sexual abuse? Abolition helps us create a world where all children are safe and supported by their communities. We're addressing the problem, not just sweeping it under the rug. We speak with award-winning journalist and author Roxanna Asgarian about her essay “Reclaiming Safety for Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse.” Roxanna explores how the current carceral response to child sexual harm—rooted in punishment, separation, and shame—fails survivors and perpetuates cycles of trauma. Together, we discuss what safety and accountability can look like outside of prisons, foster care, and family policing. Drawing from her reporting and lived experience, Roxanna invites us to imagine community-based pathways to healing that honor survivors, hold those who harm accountable, and build the conditions where safety is possible for everyone.About Our Guest: Roxanna Asgarian is a Texas-based journalist and the author of We Were Once a Family: A Story of Love, Death, and Child Removal in America, which won the 2023 National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction, the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction, and the L.A. Times Book Prize. Her reporting has appeared in The Washington Post, Texas Monthly, and New York Magazine. A survivor of child sexual harm, Roxanna has spent years covering stories at the intersections of child welfare, justice, and community care—centering the voices of those most impacted by family separation and systemic neglect.Episode Notes: Support the work of upEND: upendmovement.org/donateEpisode Transcript: upendmovement.org/podcast/episode303/ Read “Reclaiming Safety for Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse” by Roxanna Agarian.

When Eyes Wide Shut opened in the summer of 1999, it was widely considered a disappointment. This final film from legendary director Stanley Kubrick had been sold as an erotic thriller, and potentially even a peek into the real sex lives of its then-married stars, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. But Eyes Wide Shut was stranger than that: a meditative art film whose much-hyped orgy scene is more creepy than sexy, run by a cabal of rich and powerful men who prey on young women.But Eyes Wide Shut has received a burst of new attention in the last few years, amid constant revelations about a real-life cabal of rich and powerful men who prey on young women. Across the internet, cinema sleuths have been asking: is it possible Eyes Wide Shut was not fictional? Was Stanley Kubrick trying to warn the world about a real conspiracy? And if so… was he murdered for it? In this episode of Decoder Ring, we follow Lane Brown—a lifelong Kubrick fan and features writer for New York Magazine—as he investigates this conspiracy theory and what it says about how we deal with ugly facts and murky fictions.This episode was written and produced by Max Freedman and edited by Willa Paskin.

Sarah Posner sits down with New York Magazine senior writer Sarah Jones to unpack the accelerating assault on transgender rights in Kansas and beyond. They trace how a new Kansas law retroactively invalidating updated gender markers on driver's licenses fits into a broader, decades-long Christian right strategy—one that cloaks theological convictions in the language of “common sense” and “biology.” From spiritual warfare rhetoric in statehouses to Supreme Court signals about religious motivation, Posner and Jones explore how anti-trans legislation operates as both a wedge issue and a cornerstone of a hierarchical gender ideology rooted in patriarchy, biblical literalism, and political calculation. They connect these state-level efforts to federal actions under Trump—from executive orders to agency guidance on bathroom bans—and examine how figures like Pete Hegseth and his mentor Doug Wilson frame masculinity, authority, and power. The conversation widens to consider how anti-trans politics intersects with abortion criminalization, punitive theology, and the rise of pronatalism across MAGA and NatCon spaces. They analyze the confirmation hearing of Surgeon General nominee Casey Means, whose blend of anti–birth control rhetoric, “sacred fertility” language, and pseudoscientific wellness ideology has sparked backlash—even from Christian right influencers like Erick Erickson, who denounced her as dabbling in witchcraft. Posner and Jones probe the uneasy coalition between evangelical patriarchy and MAHA-style new age conspiracism, asking whether this radicalized right-wing alignment can outlast Trump—or simply mutate into something more extreme. The episode closes with Posner's Anti-Doom segment, highlighting federal judges—some Trump-appointed—who are forcefully pushing back against unlawful immigration enforcement, reminding listeners that the constitutional order still has defenders. Sarah Jones is an award-winning senior writer for New York Magazine, where she covers religion and national politics. She serves on the editorial board of Dissent Magazine, and was previously a staff writer for The New Republic. Her first book, Disposable: America's Contempt for the Underclass, is available now from Avid Reader Press. She is based in Brooklyn.

Shoshana is joined by writer and theater aficionado John Verderber, author of Harry Reams Goes to Hollywood and American Father, longtime Little Red Light Theater associate, and contributor to Time Out New York, New York Magazine, and Everything Sondheim. We deep dive into Christopher Guest's beloved mockumentary Waiting for Guffman and the musical within it Red, White, and Blaine. In honor of Catherine O'Hara we thought diving into Waiting for Guffman was timely. We explore what makes the film endure: its uncanny authenticity to the world of community theater, the emotional stakes bound up in the hope of Broadway recognition via the elusive Mort Guffman, and the genuine earnestness at the heart of its musical numbers. They also trace its influence on the wave of mockumentary-style comedies that followed. In the Why Is This So Good? segment, Verderber makes the case for "The Dream" from Fiddler on the Roof. Music featured: A Penny for Your Thoughts from Waiting for Guffman. Stool Boom from Waiting for Guffman The Dream from Fiddler on the Roof.

Most financial planning is built around goals. Goals like: Retiring at 60 Spending more time traveling Leaving a legacy through philanthropy But there's a structural flaw in that model: human beings are notoriously poor predictors of their future preferences. What we think will make us happy at 60 often looks very different once we get there. Yet as Advisors, we routinely ask clients to define long-term goals without fully pressure-testing the assumptions behind them. In this episode, Meghaan Lurtz explains how we can shift away from the shortcomings of goals-based planning by focusing on the power of experiments. Instead of asking our clients to commit to big, static goals, we can help them design small, intentional experiments. Help them test the retirement, test the travel, and test the hobbies they “think” they'll enjoy one day. Because a client who has tried something knows what they want. And an Advisor who helps them get there becomes indispensable. If you want deeper conversations, more engaged retirees, and clients who actually use their money in ways that improve their lives, then this episode offers a practical framework you can implement immediately. You'll Learn: Why goals-based planning may be unintentionally limiting your clients' happiness The simple 4-step experiment framework that unlocks confident spending and clearer decisions How to help chronic under-spenders safely test higher spending without triggering fear Why debriefing client experiences may be more powerful than the financial plan itself Subscribe to the Wired Advisor newsletter packed with behavioral-backed resources to help you grow your business → Click Here Links To Resources Mentioned: “Helping Underspenders and Savers Understand They Can Spend More With 4 Stages Of Experiments” Connect With Brendan: RFG Advisory LinkedIn: Brendan Frazier About Our Guest: Meghaan Lurtz, Ph.D., FBS™ is a globally recognized expert on the psychology of financial planning and the human dynamics of money.

Personal health information is usually considered private, but what kind of privacy should the president of the United States be afforded? Ben Terris, Washington Correspondent for New York Magazine, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss President Donald Trump, whom the White House says is incredibly healthy, even though observers point out discrepancies in their reports, and consider what is, in fact, normal aging for a 79-year-old.

Ella joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about leaving a high-powered Wall Street career for food media, why arguing about the “best” way to make something is actually a gift to curious cooks everywhere, and how her brilliant and quirky cookbook came together. Ella also shares about writing screenplays, working in a TV writers' room, growing up with journalist parents, her lifelong tendency toward obsession, and the joyful chaos of promoting a debut cookbook while expecting her first baby.

On Thursday, February 19, speakers dug into the latest revelations in the Epstein saga, including high-profile arrests abroad, and asked the pressing question: why is accountability happening overseas while America stalls?In this urgent Big Tent conversation, Camaron Stevenson and Nina Burleigh of COURIER, moderated by Kimberly Atkins Stohr of "The Boston Globe", explored what the document releases reveal about power, money, and political protection—and how entrenched interests may be slowing justice at home. They examined congressional inaction, the role of media pressure, and whether partisan gridlock is shielding key figures. The discussion made clear that transparency is not automatic; it's forced by public demand.Most importantly, this wasn't just analysis—it was a call to action. Attendees were urged to push representatives for full, un-redacted disclosures, support investigative journalism, and keep sustained pressure on institutions that would prefer silence.Accountability isn't a spectator sport—it's a citizen's responsibility.Want to do something tangible to help protect democracy?

Is veganism in its flop era?There was a time when veganism – or plant-based food – seemed to be in ascendency: from the early 2010s when Beyoncé adopted a plant-based diet to its height in 2020, when the retail market for plant-based meat made over a billion dollars in sales. And then… things started getting a little more… meaty. From protein-maxxing to the new food pyramid, the culture seems to have shifted. But what does the plant-based food flop era say about our culture, how we think about our food, and how we feel about our future? Special guest host Danielle Kurtzleben, NPR political correspondent, discusses with writer Rachel Sugar, who wrote a piece on the boom and bust of veganism for New York Magazine, and Mark Bittman, long-time food journalist and former New York Times columnist who has written about veganism since the early 2010s.Support Public Media.

Paid subscribers also get access to our CUJOPLEX Discord and The Weather Report, a monthly episode series where we take stock of where the cultural winds are blowing and tell you what's rained into our brains.Besides the Bad Bunny vs. Kid Rock faceoff, arguably the biggest headline to come out of Superbowl LX was the sheer volume of money being traded on prediction markets, online exchanges where anyone 18 and older can bet on event outcomes. Fans exchanged a whopping $1.5 billion on the winning team alone through prediction platforms like Kalshi and PolyMarket. But these markets aren't just limited to sports: During the game itself, more than $100 million changed hands every three minutes over which song Bad Bunny would drop first in the halftime show.John Herrman, New York Magazine tech columnist and our guest on last year's episode about the future of the internet, has been all over how prediction markets are creeping into just about every area of life. And in our 2026 culture predictions episode (with zero dollars on the line), he forecast that politics is next — bringing all the sponsorship, gamification, and corruption risks we've already seen with the rise sports betting. John joins us to discuss how, in his words, prediction markets serve as “a new way to narrativize the world.” We explore what prediction markets have in store for politics and the historical conditions that have converged to make prediction markets so popular, from young people's flatlining economic prospects to having a former casino owner as our president; why prediction market true believers see markets as the most effective way of adjudicating reality, and how the prediction market “sharp” — or whale — became an aspirational career path for young people in the 2020s, not unlike Wall Street traders in the '1980s or the influencer in the 2010s.Follow John on BlueskyRead “Screen Time” at New York Magazine's IntelligencerMore by John:“Gambling Ate Sports Media.

Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles to focus on one of Donald Trump's most revealing tools: the telephone. Drawing on decades of firsthand experience—from Trump's landline calls to New York Magazine in the 1990s to rambling, unsolicited calls as president—Wolff explains why Trump is almost never off the phone, why he hates email and paper trails, and how calling isn't about exchanging information so much as asserting dominance, rehearsing grievances, and never being alone. It's a portrait of a man who governs, leaks, vents, and connects almost entirely by voice—using the phone as both comfort object and command center—and a revealing look at how Trump's constant talking shapes his politics, his relationships, and his presidency.

Everybody fails, doubts themselves and encounters unexpected obstacles on the path to whatever they're trying to achieve. But the choice to keep going in the face of difficulty, says Bradley, is what maximizes our own satisfaction and well being. He explains all this in the context of why the business community failed as a political force in New York City since Mayor Bloomberg left office. Plus, he talks about why the merging of philanthropy and commerce is often so fraught, questions Mayor Mamdani's decision not to force homeless people into shelter in the extreme-cold weather, and writes an ad for Pete Buttigieg that he contends is superior to Hugo's from last week.Discussed on today's episode:New York's CEOs Are Gearing Up for a Battle With Mamdani, David Freedlander, New York Magazine (02/05/26)This episode was taped at P&T Knitwear at 180 Orchard Street — New York City's only free podcast recording studio.Send us an email with your thoughts on today's episode: info@firewall.media.Be sure to watch Bradley's TED Talk on Mobile Voting at https://go.ted.com/bradleytusk.Subscribe to Bradley's weekly newsletter and follow Bradley on Linkedin + Substack + YouTube.

Today's Headlines: Europe was unusually productive yesterday. French authorities raided Twitter's Paris offices as part of a cybercrime investigation, summoned Elon Musk and former CEO Linda Yaccarino (voluntarily, lol), and announced France is ditching Zoom and Microsoft Teams in favor of its own platform. Spain followed up by unveiling plans to crack down on social media algorithms and hold tech executives personally liable for illegal or hateful content, after Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez accused Musk of amplifying disinformation about Spain's immigration policy. Not to be outdone, Poland's prime minister said Jeffrey Epstein was likely a Russian intelligence asset — and said his government plans to investigate. Back in the U.S., Trump floated the idea of “nationalizing” elections during a podcast appearance and teased more fallout from last week's FBI raid in Georgia, despite elections being run by states under the Constitution. Democrats held a public forum on ICE abuses that Republicans skipped entirely, featuring testimony from people shot at, assaulted, or detained without cause — including a disabled woman who says she was dragged from her car and later treated in an ER for assault. Meanwhile, ICE is reportedly preparing a major operation targeting Haitian immigrants in Ohio as TPS protections expire, even as the agency quietly spends hundreds of millions buying warehouses to convert into detention centers.Elsewhere, DC U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro briefly threatened jail time for anyone bringing a gun into the district before walking it back, Trump continued his Kennedy Center renovation saga, and New York Magazine published a deeply unsettling profile of Rep. Nancy Mace detailing erratic behavior and staff misuse.

In 2003, Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Weinstein joined forces with a small group of high-powered figures, including Michael Wolff and Mortimer Zuckerman, in a bid to purchase New York Magazine. The group submitted a multimillion-dollar offer in hopes of seizing editorial control and rebranding themselves as major players in the media world. Although their bid ultimately failed—coming in second-lowest—the attempt reflected Epstein's broader interest in media ownership and narrative control. Not long after, he partnered again with Zuckerman to invest millions into another venture, Radar magazine, which fizzled out after only a few issues.What makes this story particularly disturbing is not the failure of the deal, but what it represented: two disgraced men with a history of predation trying to buy a platform that shapes public opinion. Epstein and Weinstein weren't just looking for financial investment—they were seeking cultural legitimacy and a shield from scrutiny. The attempted acquisition of a reputable magazine was a calculated move to soften their images and possibly bury or spin the stories that could one day undo them. It's a stark example of how the powerful use media not just to shape markets, but to rewrite their own sins.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.businessinsider.com/jeffrey-epstein-media-connections-weinstein-career-2019-7
C dans l'air l'invité du 30 janvier 2026 avec Melissa Bell, journaliste anglo-américaine, correspondante à Paris pour CNN.Les conséquences politiques des morts de Renee Nicole Good et d'Alex Pretti, deux Américains abattus par la police anti-immigration à Minneapolis les 7 et 24 janvier derniers, ne cessent de se faire sentir. Sous la pression de l'opinion et de certains élus républicains, Donald Trump semble jouer la carte de l'apaisement.Selon un sondage Reuters/Ipsos publié lundi, seuls 39 % des Américains approuvent désormais sa gestion de l'immigration, le taux le plus bas depuis son investiture. Et un électeur républicain sur cinq considère que l'ICE est allée "trop loin".Le président américain a donc pris la décision de rappeler le chef de la police des frontières, Gregory Bovino, symbole de la brutalité de l'ICE, et a dépêché à Minneapolis son "tsar des frontières", Tom Homan, conseiller à l'immigration de la Maison-Blanche, dans l'objectiif de "marquer un nouveau départ dans les relations avec l'Etat du Minnesota".Donald Trump a malgré tout pris le temps d'assister à l'avant-première du film documentaire de sa femme Melania. L'occassion pour lui de saluer son "excellent travail" et de souligner combien elle est "mesurée, très très mesurée." Et d'ajouter : Parfois, quand je ne suis pas autant mesuré, elle le fait pour moi !"Par ailleurs, les doutes sur son état de santé persistent. Dans une interview accordée au New York Magazine, il a oublié le nom de la maladie dont souffrait son père, décédé à l'âge de 93 ans d'Alzheimer.
“Friction-maxxing,” a term coined by The Cut columnist Kathryn Jezer-Morton, is the art of adding more inconvenience to our lives —as technology pushes us to eliminate it. That might look like taking the bus to the grocery store instead of DoorDashing meals. Or asking a stranger for directions rather than checking Google Maps. It means putting ourselves in contact with the world, with all of the vulnerability and unpredictability that entails. We'll talk with Jezer-Morton and tech journalists about how doing things the hard way can bring us more joy, serendipity and human connection. How do you friction-maxx? Guests: Morgan Sung, host, "Close All Tabs" podcast - available on KQED's "Political Breakdown" feed Stephen Council, tech reporter, SFGATE Kathryn Jezer-Morton, columnist, The Cut, New York Magazine; author, "The Story of Your Life: How Social Media Shapes the Way We Experience Everything" Learn more about your ad choices.

They get into whether people should be mad that fashion brands engage with the Bezoses, and also chat about the economics of this fascinating part of the industry. (I.e., how much clients spend, what brands spend to woo them, and why it's such a valuable part of the business these days.)

To make good creative work, you'll inevitably do a lot of bad work along the way. So building a thriving creative practice relies on showing up and doing the work consistently, whether you feel inspired or not. And we can get trapped into thinking that if only we had the perfect space, or the best pen, or right notebook, it would all be easier. This is a preview of a premium episode. To listen to the full interview, visit: https://designbetterpodcast.com/p/austin-kleon But our guest today, Austin Kleon, has built a remarkable creative practice around a deceptively simple toolkit: index cards, newspapers, scissors, and glue. He's the bestselling author of Steal Like an Artist, Show Your Work, Keep Going, and Don't Call it Art. What makes Austin's approach so valuable is how he's translated these ideas into a sustainable daily practice that's lasted over a decade. In our conversation, Austin shares why he starts every day writing in his diary before he picks up the phone, how constraints (time, space and materials) actually unlock creativity rather than limiting it, and why the path to doing your best digital work might start with picking up a pen. If you've ever struggled to maintain a creative practice, felt overwhelmed by tools and options, or wondered how to keep going when the work feels hard, this episode is for you. Bio Austin Kleon is the New York Times bestselling author of a trilogy of illustrated books about creativity in the digital age: Steal Like An Artist, Show Your Work!, and Keep Going. He's also the author of Newspaper Blackout, a collection of poems made by redacting the newspaper with a permanent marker. His books have sold over two million copies and have been translated into over 30 languages. He's been featured on NPR's Morning Edition, PBS Newshour, and in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. New York Magazine called his work “brilliant,” The Atlantic called him “positively one of the most interesting people on the Internet,” and The New Yorker said his poems “resurrect the newspaper when everybody else is declaring it dead.” He speaks for organizations such as Pixar, Google, Netflix, SXSW, TEDx, Dropbox, Adobe, and The Economist. In previous lives, he worked as a librarian, a web designer, and an advertising copywriter. He lives in Austin, Texas, with his wife and sons. Visit him online at www.austinkleon.com
Donald Trump proudly boasted last week that he had agreed to a "framework for a future deal" with regard to Greenland, and now he's already trying to change the terms. This is likely due to the fact that most people in the US pointed out that he got nothing from his supposed deal, so now he's demanding that US military bases in Greenland be considered American territory - and Denmark and Greenland aren't happy with his demands. A documentary about the life of Melania Trump is set to release this coming Friday, and it has somehow already managed to be a box office bomb BEFORE even being released. Users on social media are pointing out that tickets at their local theaters are all still available, meaning that no one seems willing to fork over money to watch the story of a wealthy, privileged, and callous woman as they struggle to afford basic necessities. The film creators REALLY failed to read the room on this one.Secretary of State Marco Rubio revealed to New York Magazine who he avoids looking like a weak and pathetic coward when he's around Donald Trump. The solution to his problem is actually so much worse, because Rubio admitted that he wraps himself completely in a blanket and hides from Trump aboard Air Force One. Again, he does this so Trump doesn't think that he's weak, but there's nothing weaker than hiding from an elderly dementia patient. A judge in Minnesota has ordered the Trump administration to submit a clear and honest explanation to the court about why federal agents are crawling all over the state. Pam Bondi made it sound like the ICE invasion is because Minnesota is not giving in to her demands for the state's voting rolls, while others in the administration have suggested that it is because of the ongoing fraud investigation, and still others maintain that it is about roving gangs of Somali immigrants. The truth now has to come out, thanks to the judge's order. During his interview with New York Magazine that was published this week, Donald Trump blasted his own doctors for causing the public to discuss his failing health. Trump claimed that the only reason he had an MRI was because he was "right next to the machine" anyway, and his doctors thought that it might be fun to just do it. He and Karoline Leavitt then appeared to force one of his doctors to lie and say that he is healthier than Barack Obama ever was, and that statement alone should cost the doctor his medical license.

Donald Trump caves to the national outrage over Alex Pretti's killing, telling Governor Tim Walz that he'll agree to allow for an impartial investigation and "look into reducing the number of federal agents in Minnesota." Lovett, on the ground in Minneapolis, joins Jon and Tommy to talk about what's happening in the state, and to share reactions to the tragedy and Trump's surprising about-face. Then they discuss Congressional Democrats' demands for reforming DHS, which may lead to a partial government shutdown, and a wild New York Magazine piece about the president's health.
