When President Trump proposed the introduction of a 50-year mortgage, he challenged a bedrock of the American housing market and financial system. He also revealed how desperate the administration is to lower prices for consumers.Conor Dougherty, who covers housing and development, explains what's attractive about the idea and its potential drawbacks — and why housing affordability is such an intractable problem.Guest: Conor Dougherty, a reporter for The New York Times covering housing and development for more than a decade.Background reading: The Trump administration is facing backlash from U.S. consumers as higher costs from tariffs blunt wage gains.Many Americans bought their first houses during the pandemic, when mortgage rates dipped to record lows.

Sarah learned a fun (??) fact about persimmon seeds, and now we have to talk about it. Susie is less impressed, and skeptical about its implications. We hear the history of, wait for it, the Thong Song, and are delighted by the vocal stylings, song construction, and cultural impact of this one-hit-wonder. We learn about an imprint in a piece of cement in Chicago that has become an unlikely tourist attraction, and despite it's connection to things that scurry, Sarah is bewitched. We hear how scholars solved the mystery of what caused it, and we have ideas for how to make the most of it. A man went on a three day retreat into total darkness, and we discuss the strange side effects of this sensory adventure. And we get an update on Susie's secret (totally not secret) crush on her eye doctor.Brain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Get ten dollars off your first month's subscription and free shipping when you go to https://nutrafol.com and enter the promo code BRAINCANDYThe Brain Candy Podcast is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Today I sit down with journalist Astead Herndon, whose award-winning political reporting has appeared in The New York Times, on CNN, and now in Vox, where he serves as editorial director. Astead and I explore how President Donald Trump's 2016 victory reshaped our own views of American politics. We disagree—cordially—about how much of Trump's rise was driven by racism, and what that moment revealed about the country. From there, we discuss why more black voters have been moving to the right, and what that shift says about ideology, class, and generational change. We also dive into Astead's take on New York City politics, including Zohran Mamdani's victory, touching on debates over Israel and Palestine, and Mamdani's pivot away from “Defund the Police” and his evolving stance on rent control.

When President Donald Trump began his tariff rollout, the business world predicted that his unprecedented attempt to reshape the economy would lead to a major recession, if Trump went through with it all. But the markets stabilized and, in recent months, have continued to surge. That has some people worried about an even bigger threat: that overinvestment in artificial intelligence is creating a bubble. Andrew Ross Sorkin, one of today's preëminent financial journalists, is well versed in what's happening; his début book, “Too Big to Fail,” was an account of the 2008 financial crash, and this year he released “1929: Inside the Greatest Crash in Wall Street History—and How It Shattered a Nation.” He tells David Remnick that the concern lies in the massive borrowing to build the infrastructure for a future A.I. economy, without the sufficient revenue, currently, to pay off the loans. “If I learned anything from covering 1929, [and] covering 2008, it is leverage,” Sorkin says, “people borrowing to make all of this happen. And right now we are beginning to see a remarkable period of borrowing to make the economics of A.I. work.” Sorkin is the co-anchor of “Squawk Box” on CNBC, and he also founded the New York Times' business section, DealBook.

Anxiety is rising among President Trump's staunchest allies that he's politically lost his way. The New York Times reports that his advisers fear he's alienating key voters in his own coalition. And CNN reports that some Republicans are openly warning the White House that the GOP is in trouble in the midterm elections. Meanwhile, Trump just erupted in a furious new tirade about the Jeffrey Epstein fiasco. In it, he ordered Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate Epstein's ties to Democrats. Bondi immediately did his bidding. That Trump has now formally turned the Justice Department loose in this way shows his anger over Epstein has hit new highs. Some Republicans say all these things are related: Trump is so consumed with Epstein that he's letting everything else go to hell. So we talked to analyst Michael Cohen, who has a good new piece on Trump's doldrums on his Truth and Consequences Substack. He explains why Epstein is undoing Trump, how the MAGA coalition is fracturing, how deeper structural factors are working against him, and how it will all impact the midterms.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they dive into President Trump urging Republicans to support releasing the Epstein files, disgraced reporter Olivia Nuzzi getting fawning media coverage for her forthcoming book about her relationship with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and James Carville vowing that Democrats will add four seats to the U.S. Supreme Court if they sweep the 2028 elections.First, they welcome President Trump reversing himself and supporting the Epstein files becoming public. They discuss why Trump is likely doing this after opposing the release for so long, and whether we'll really get to see all the information the government has on Epstein.Next, Jim details what he learned from a New York Times puff piece on Olivia Nuzzi and her “emotional affair” with then presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. First, JIm says Nuzzi's story is a textbook example of how not to conduct yourself as a journalist. The story also paints Nuzzi in a sympathetic light, but Jim argues she still comes across as a complete “nutjob.” She also levels new accusations at RFK Jr., which Jim sees as more evidence that Kennedy has no business serving as Secretary of Health and Human Services.Finally, they fire back at James Carville for claiming Democrats have to pack the Supreme Court when and if they have the power to do so in order to have "a Supreme Court people trust again." Radical Vermont Senate candidate Graham Platner says the same thing. Jim says it's astonishing to see the left openly plotting massive upheaval to our system in order to "save democracy" or something.Please visit our great sponsors:Cancel unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster with Rocket Money at https://RocketMoney.com/MARTINI Stop putting off those doctors' appointments and go to https://ZocDoc.com/3ML to find and instantly book a top-rated doctor today.Give your liver the support it deserves with Dose Daily.

When companies began instituting return-to-office plans after the pandemic, a disproportionate number of women chose instead to leave the workforce. Why? The obvious answer is that they wanted the flexibility of remote work. But in this episode, Cal draws on a recent New York Times op-ed that offers a deeper explanation – one that affects all knowledge workers. He then explores solutions to the problem, answers listener questions, and (God help him) respond to comments on his recent Superintelligence episode.Below are the questions covered in today's episode (with their timestamps).

Its Jubilee time- and what are we celebrating? A no-longer-canonical book, I guess. Jubilees is a Second Temple rewrite of Genesis that reshapes creation stories, adds angelic narration, and updates the calendar to aaaaaalmost get the number of days in the year right. Then we tackle the viral claim that the Bible has 63,779 perfect cross-references. Does it prove divine authorship? Maybe! Ok, no. But we still have a lot of fun breaking it down. We look at how these “links” are created, where the argument collapses, and why the attractiveness of a chart doesn't mean it's actually useful. ---- For early access to an ad-free version of every episode of Data Over Dogma, exclusive content, and the opportunity to support our work, please consider becoming a monthly patron at: https://www.patreon.com/DataOverDogma Follow us on the various social media places: https://www.facebook.com/DataOverDogmaPod https://www.twitter.com/data_over_dogma Have you ordered Dan McClellan's New York Times bestselling book The Bible Says So yet???

I've recorded hundreds of conversations with incredible people working on the front lines of the future. People who've asked the most important question: what can I do? Who found their answer and followed it. But for today's conversation, we're going back to the front lines of the past because the past can tell us a whole hell of a lot about today and how tomorrow might go.But only if we tell the full story of how we got here, about who got us here, about how my great-great-grandparents got here. And how my grandma got here fleeing the Nazis, and how millions of Africans were forcibly brought here, over 35,000 trips across the middle passage over almost 300 years. The full story of the choices we made then, which was not so long ago, and continue to make now about wars and heritage and bondage and family and land and more.And how, if we can break from the stories we've been told and continue to tell ourselves to choose history over nostalgia, to choose facts over memory and infinite disinformation on demand, we can make different choices. My guest today is Clint Smith. Clint is the number one New York Times bestselling author of How the Word Is Passed: A Reckoning With the History of Slavery Across America, he's the winner of the National Book Critic Circle Award for nonfiction, the Hillman Prize for book journalism, the Stowe Prize, the Dayton Literary Peace Prize, and was selected by the New York Times as one of the 10 best books of 2021.And now in 2025, the Young Reader's Edition has just come out and it is wonderful.

Iran remains a major threat to Israel and the United States – with clear ambitions to expand its influence and terror activity into the Western hemisphere, said Danny Citrinowicz, a former IDF military intelligence officer and Iran expert at the Institute for National Security Studies, speaking on the Haaretz Podcast. Those ambitions were recently highlighted when a U.S. official revealed an advanced plan by Iran to assassinate Israel’s ambassador to Mexico, using a base of operations in Venezuela. The official said the plot was foiled earlier this year. “Venezuela is the hub” of Iran’s activity in the region, Citrinowicz said, adding that Tehran is developing relationships with other South American countries with a sizable Shi’ite Muslim population and “controlled by the left” in the hope of uniting against a common enemy: the United States and its allies. “Iran can find a mutual language with every country that opposes the West,” he said. In his conversation with host Allison Kaplan Sommer, Citriowicz also discussed Iran’s renewal of its nuclear capabilities, as reported by the New York Times, and the potential Israeli response to the prospect that they appear to be increasing their missile capabilities to the point where they can rain thousands more explosives on Israel than they did in June’s 12-day war. “We’re in a very risky and unstable situation, and I don't think we’ve seen the last of the clashes between Israel and Iran.” Read more: What the Next Israel-Iran Missile War Will Look Like The Israeli Influence Operation Aiming to Install Reza Pahlavi as Shah of Iran Israeli FM: Iran Tried to Attack Multiple Israeli Embassies and Diplomats, Not Only Envoy in Mexico Paradox of Success: Israelis Fail to See That the Next Iran War Will Be Worse Opinion by Danny Citrinowicz | How a Historic Israel-Iran Non-aggression Pact Could Change the Middle EastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Anxiety is rising among President Trump's staunchest allies that he's politically lost his way. The New York Times reports that his advisers fear he's alienating key voters in his own coalition. And CNN reports that some Republicans are openly warning the White House that the GOP is in trouble in the midterm elections. Meanwhile, Trump just erupted in a furious new tirade about the Jeffrey Epstein fiasco. In it, he ordered Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate Epstein's ties to Democrats. Bondi immediately did his bidding. That Trump has now formally turned the Justice Department loose in this way shows his anger over Epstein has hit new highs. Some Republicans say all these things are related: Trump is so consumed with Epstein that he's letting everything else go to hell. So we talked to analyst Michael Cohen, who has a good new piece on Trump's doldrums on his Truth and Consequences Substack. He explains why Epstein is undoing Trump, how the MAGA coalition is fracturing, how deeper structural factors are working against him, and how it will all impact the midterms.

Es un abogado neuquino que pasó por las cúpulas del mundo corporativo, lideró transformaciones gigantes y después pegó un volantazo para dedicarse al impacto social. De Neuquén a Harvard, hoy emprende en tecnología, construcción y comunicación, con la misma energía con la que alguna vez presidió el Coloquio IDEA buscando más voces en la mesa. Estas fueron las preguntas que le hice:00:00 Comienzo 00:59 ¿De dónde sacás la semilla emprendedora?02:39 ¿Por qué pegar el volantazo y pasar de la corpo a emprender?05:43 ¿Cómo manejaste la presión externa ante el cambio de carrera?07:26 ¿Cuando crecemos como emprendedores, la presión es más grande?08:43 ¿Cómo lidiás con las inseguridades o desafíos de emprender?Abrazá un propósito. ¡Desafía al mundo e inspirá a otros!Recordá que si querés enviarnos tus preguntas, consultas o sugerencias podés hacerlo a podcast@emprendeconproposito.com.arTambién podés seguirnos en las otras redes:Web: emprendeconproposito.com.ar IG: @sebasosaemprende @somosecp YT: Emprende con propósito TikTok: @somosecp Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1CpvK90Kvh80vEvkXC5fiJ?si=o7IO2iOrQDu2hodQspFv4g Te dejo las frases destacadas de Gastón Remy: "Sí, yo me quiero quedar en Argentina, quiero que mis hijos crezcan en Argentina y quiero poner mi granito de arena en Argentina.""Yo nunca los viví como volantazos, sino mucho más como profundizar un camino.""En los últimos tiempos empecé a recurrir a otro tipo de herramientas que tienen que ver más con la meditación, que tienen que ver más con terapias.""Hoy, mirando para atrás, siento un nivel de libertad y de plenitud enorme en ese sentido.""Esta pasión con la que vivimos, estas formas de vincularnos, esta forma de conectarnos, hoy el mundo la empieza a apreciar mucho más, antes hasta te daba algo de vergüenza, el argentino medio gritón, medio, sus formas. Y de golpe esto está en la New York Times diciendo, 'miren este movimiento cultural'."“Esto es algo más profundo. El mundo, el mundo de las pantallas, el mundo de la inteligencia artificial, el mundo de la velocidad extrema y de las ansiedades empieza a valorar este costado casi primitivo que tenemos de, de vincularnos y de vivir la vida con mucha pasión."“Hay un personaje que se va armando alrededor del desarrollo profesional, y ahí sí, empecé a tener unos conflictos con qué es persona y qué es personaje.""Se vincula con esto, entonces, la primera parte mía fue, fue la aspiracional con la que, por lo menos, nuestra generación creció, hacer una carrera, si es corporativa, hacer la escalerita.""El cambio grande para mí fue irme de Vista después de la IPO, y ahí sí puse en jaque al personaje.""Te diría que fue como un acto bastante de despojo y de y de ponerme a, a prueba."#empresarios argentinos #empresasargentinas #emprendedores #emprendedoresargentinos #cambiodecarrera #cambioderunbo #transiciones #liderazgo #lideresemprendedores #lideresempresarios

When I look around at the crumbling empire I helped build, I wonder how it all went so wrong. How did so many people lose their minds, the legacy media lose its objectivity, and so many so-called “educated” people lose their grip on reality?What is Trump Derangement Syndrome anyway? I think, as someone who lived it and has been online for the last 30 years, that the people with all of the power could not let go of that power, just like the South during the last Civil War. The South had built for itself a utopian version of America, one not rooted in reality, but one they deeply believed in. The same is true for the Left today. I know, I helped build it. I believed in it too and thought it would last forever. Trump's win in 2016 was a sign that half of the country was not happy with how things were going and wanted change, just as much of America understood that a country that proclaimed all men are created equal could not keep slaves.And just as the freeing of the slaves sent the South into mass psychosis that would lead to Jim Crow laws and the oppression of Black Americans, after eight years of deeply rooted propaganda that said Trump was a racist and for him to win would be an existential threat to our way of life, one our country could not survive, sent those of us inside utopia cascading into madness.And so we began fighting a Civil War. Not at Gettysburg or Shiloh, but on Facebook, Twitter/X, YouTube, and TikTok. But only one side is cutting off friends and family. Only one side has no plan for the rest of America on the outside. Only one side seems prepared to become violent to preserve their utopia. I thought November of 2024 was like the burning of Atlanta. Not quite the end of the war, but almost. Now, after Charlie Kirk's assassination and the fracturing of the Right, I'm not so sure.What I do know is that so much of what defines our Civil War, so much of what explains the Left's mass psychosis, took root in 2008.What is an American?2008 was the crisis that sparked the Fourth Turning, according to Neil Howe, who co-wrote the book with William H. Strauss. It wasn't just the election of the first Black president, or the launch of the iPhone, the rise of social media, or the $800 billion bailout of Wall Street that birthed two populist movements on the Left with Occupy and on the Right with the Tea Party. It was also the year an idea contagion began to spread.In April of 2008, Obama was recorded writing off half the country as people who were “bitter” and clinging to “guns and religion.”“Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton activated her entire campaign apparatus to portray Mr. Obama's remarks as reflective of an elitist view of faith and community. His comments, she said, were “not reflective of the values and beliefs of Americans.”Those comments were not seen as racist, yet months later, in October, when Sarah Palin said more or less the same thing, she was called an “Islamaphobe.” Seven years after 9/11, that is what the Left was worried about, not “Radical Islamic terrorism.”From the Washington Post, “Palin's words avoid repulsing voters with overt racism. But is there another subtext for creating the false image of a black presidential nominee “palling around” with terrorists while assuring a predominantly white audience that he doesn't see their America?”Race and racism became the dividing line after that. By 2010, the idea that the Tea Party was racist became a big story. ABC News still had some objectivity and attempted to tell both sides.Reason's Michael Moynihan made a video montage showing how widely accepted it was to call the Tea Party racist. Two years later, in 2012, amid Obama's re-election, Mitt Romney and the Republicans had no idea what they were up against. I was among those fighting Obama's media wars on Twitter, having followed him since the beginning. We were his loyal flock, building the narratives, correcting the bad news, reshaping, retooling, deconstructing, and reconstructing reality to push pure propaganda and keep our side in power.As wealth shifted leftward, thanks to the rise of Silicon Valley, Big Tech also leaned Left. Google, YouTube, Facebook, Amazon, Audible, and book publishing. It was in every university and every institution as society began migrating online. We were in control of all of it.To combat the idea of the racists and the “bitter clingers,” public schools and universities began teaching Critical Race and Gender Theory. It was the beginning of the Great Feminization and the Great Awokening. This contagion was seeded on sites like Tumblr with the oppressor/oppressed mindset, free Palestine, open borders, and a choose-your-gender worldview. It wasn't just Twitter by then. It was all of Hollywood, too, and most of our culture. That's why, in February of 2012, HBO released the movie Game Change, a retelling and repurposing of the 2008 election.Where Palin had been portrayed as a ditsy know-nothing we all laughed at on SNL…Now, Julianne Moore's version was darker and more sinister. A Never Trump narrative was just beginning as Steve Schmidt of the Lincoln Project and Nicolle Wallace were portrayed as the heroes, not to mention the only “good Republican,” John McCain, who stood up to the “racists” and “bitter clingers.” Our superpower in the Obama years was manipulating the flexible nature of words to make them mean anything we wanted them to mean, like “binders full of women.” That would become “Good people on both sides.” Or “Fight like hell.” “When you're famous, they let you do it.”The reality we shaped was everywhere - at gas stations, airports, and magazine covers in the check-out line. Having control of that - the background noise - is what the Left has been fighting to preserve. It is a fight they are losing thanks to the rising voices on the Right, and Trump himself, who are exposing them.But it was accusations of racism and Islamaphobia that would become Obama's most powerful weapon to win. It is the cryptonite of the Ruling Class and what has divided this country for ten years. What a difference 17 years makesBack in 2008, Obama was accused of being a Muslim Socialist, not born in America, who “palled around with terrorists.” Now, one of the new leaders of the Democratic Party is a Muslim socialist, not born in America, who pals around with terrorists. Zohran Mamdani not only feels no shame in admitting this, but he also won because of it. Identity is everything now, so why not scream it from the rooftops? Anyone who complains can easily be dismissed as a racist or an Islamaphobe. In Mamdani's New York, there is an oppressive ruling class keeping the Black and Brown workers poor, instead of the reality, an enclave for the guilty white liberals who fund their movement. But for those checks to keep flowing in, they have to give those guilty whites what they so desperately crave, confirmation that they are the Good White People Doing Good Things, and those “bitter clingers” over there are the “racists” who want to oppress the Black and Brown people they protect. Just give us absolution from our sins of wealth and privilege.Guys like Ken Burns live comfortably away from the harder realities of everyday life in America. Trust me, I know. I used to see him every year at the Telluride Film Festival. His telling of the American story must lead with race and must be yet another lecture to those with less wealth, less power, and less representation in culture - hated people in their own country, forced to accept that America is a corrupt, rotten, imperialist, and white supremacist empire. Making everything about race justifies the ruling class's place atop the wealth hierarchy. Nothing in that hierarchy can be disrupted, so the oppressed must remain oppressed. And for now, there is no way out except to do what I did, escape. Find the truth. Get to know the people they've been told to dehumanize. The Left's idea of utopia erases the value of being an American citizen. It seeks to align with a global world order of like-minded people. Yet, for so many in MAGA, being born American is hitting the jackpot. Nothing is more valuable than the rights all of us have as citizens, no matter our skin color. And yet, the ruling class in America for the past 17 years has decided none of that should matter because our identity is not where we were born. Our identity is whether we are white or not. If you oppose illegal immigration and support mass deportations, you are a racist, according to them, and your citizenship matters less than your white privilege. And that is how illegal immigrants became the oppressed group that governors like Gavin Newsom and JB Pritzker are willing to fight to protect. And ordinary American citizens can be thrown away like human garbage. The New York Times' Peter Baker loved reporting how bad the ticket sales are at the Kennedy Center, never once acknowledging how Trump tried to open it up to the underclass who'd been shut out for years. They see Trump's inclusion of the wrong half of America as taking something away from them, their glory days of utopia. The ballroom will be something lasting, a monument to the half of the country that fought for representation and a permanent structure to remind them of that fight. Here are Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi from America This Week.The Bitter ClingersNow, it's the Left who are the bitter clingers. They can't accept defeat, and they won't let go of the past, of utopia. Hillary Clinton is a bitter clinger who can't get over the 2016 election. Barack Obama is a bitter clinger who had to call Charlie Kirk a racist when he felt his own legacy dimming. Nancy Pelosi is a bitter clinger who helped manufacture a delusion about January 6th just to obtain absolute power. Barbra Streisand, Rosie O'Donnell, Katie Couric, Richard Gere, Rob Reiner, Bruce Springsteen, Martin Sheen, Robert De Niro, and Jane Fonda are all bitter clingers who have never even seen the other half of the country, much less understood it.Those of us on the other side see the danger of utopia, what 17 years of it has done to the minds and bodies of children, what it's done to women and girls, and boys and men. What infusing propaganda into culture has done to truth and art. It is a manufactured reality that reflects an American utopia that doesn't exist and never did, just like the antebellum South. As the Southerners back then were the “bitter clingers,” so too are today's Woketopians, the virtue signaling army at war with the trolls. They are the ones who can't stand people who are not like them and the ones who can't move on from the past. So they fight on, hoping that this time it's not gone with the wind. end// This is a public episode.

It was an ‘unsubscribe' seen and heard by perhaps millions around the world last week. Not an unsubscribe to Zeteo (how dare you suggest, even think, such a thing!)… It was YouTube children's show host Ms. Rachel unsubscribing from none other than the New York Times “because of its biased and dehumanizing coverage of Palestinians and Palestine, and its failure to uphold journalistic integrity,” she wrote in an Instagram post with more than 250,000 likes as of Sunday morning.Ms. Rachel went on to share loaded questions she was asked by the Times for their piece about her earlier this year: from accusations that she accepts money “to further Hamas's agenda” to her advocacy for Gaza when “it doesn't seem to implicate directly” with her children-related work. (Because why would she care about more than 20,000 innocent children, right?)This is why we, Zeteo, exist. Journalistic integrity with a bias for the truth and a desire to shed light on the greatest moral and legal issues of our time, especially Israel's ongoing, US-backed, genocide in Gaza. So, watch our interview with Ms. Rachel from earlier this year, in case you missed it when it came out, or if you just want to rewatch a conversation with a person who puts her morals above her career. It's an interview where we don't question her universal care for children or give weight to bad-faith critics. Mehdi tries instead to get to the heart of her work, her advocacy, and how her life has been affected by both.If you're a paid subscriber, you can let us know what you think of our interview in the comments section below.

Claude is on a mission to transform workplace culture and redefine what true leadership looks like. She partners with Gary Vaynerchuk to drive Vayner's people-first success, has earned Campaign US's Female Frontier Award and AdWeek's Changing the Game Award, and speaks to teams at Meta, Google, U.S. Government agencies, the Armed Forces, and audiences worldwide. Featured in The New York Times, Fast Company, Forbes, and The Wall Street Journal, she is also the author of Be Yourself at Work, a guide to replacing fear and conformity with authenticity and emotional courage.Through her lived wisdom and candid storytelling, Claude shows how embracing your humanity is not a liability—it's a leadership advantage. Get ready to rethink how you work, lead, connect, and show up every day.Quotes:"You are the CEO of your life. You are not here to live someone else's life or fit a mold—they don't want you to.""Empathy isn't me putting myself in your shoes; it's riding shotgun with you and asking, 'How can I support you?'""Consistency is the key. Showing up the same way, pretty much every day, is my greatest strength."Actionable Takeaways:Reflect on your authenticity: Ask yourself, “What is it costing me to not show up as my full self at work?” Identify one way you can bring more of your true self into your professional life this week.Practice intentional empathy: Reach out to a colleague or loved one, and instead of trying to solve their issue, simply ask, “How can I support you?” Focus on listening and understanding their unique experience.Set and communicate healthy boundaries: Define your start and end times for work, and communicate them clearly to empower yourself and model boundaries for others.Commit to self-awareness: Regularly journal or check in with yourself to recognize personal triggers and areas for growth. Consider identifying one habit or reaction you want to work on.Conclusion:Claude's message is a powerful reminder that the most impactful leaders aren't the ones who hide behind titles or toughness—they're the ones who lead with honesty, empathy, and heart. When you stop shrinking and start showing up as your true self, you create space for others to do the same. This episode challenges you to rethink how you lead, how you work, and who you're becoming. Your voice, your story, and your humanity are your greatest strengths—so bring them forward boldly.

O artista brasileiro Eli Sudbrack constrói há mais de duas décadas uma obra feita de cor, movimento e colaboração. Fundador do coletivo Assume Vivid Astro Focus, ou simplesmente AVAF, ele transforma o museu em um espaço vivo, onde o público é convidado a completar a obra com seu corpo e presença. Luciana Rosa, correspondente da RFI em Nova York Formado em cinema pela PUC-Rio, Sudbrack trocou as câmeras pelas artes visuais após o fim da Embrafilme, nos anos 1990. No fim dessa década, desembarcou em Nova York, em meio à efervescência da cultura digital e ao espírito do it yourself que moldou uma geração de artistas. Foi ali que nasceu o Assume Vivid Astro Focus, um projeto que mistura linguagens e identidades, borrando as fronteiras entre arte, política e performance. “Tudo o que a gente faz é fluido, moldado, mutante”, explica o artista. “Até o nome Assume Vivid Astro Focus muda. A gente brinca com as iniciais, cria novas frases, tipo ‘amoroso, vagabundo, assina fedida', ‘a very anxious feeling'. Cada projeto nasce para um espaço, para um contexto.” Nos anos 2000, o coletivo começou a ganhar visibilidade internacional com exposições em San Francisco e Nova York, além de uma instalação na galeria Deitch Projects, elogiada pelo New York Times. O sucesso levou Sudbrack à Whitney Biennial de 2004, uma das mostras mais prestigiadas do mundo, onde apresentou um projeto público inspirado nos patinadores do Central Park em uma pista que unia arte, música e performance. Instalação AVAF XI Duas décadas depois, essa mesma energia reaparece em “AVAF XI”, instalação criada originalmente em 2004 para a casa da colecionadora Rosa de la Cruz, em Key Biscayne, e que agora ganha nova vida no Bass Museum, em Miami. “Pra gente foi tipo um dream come true”, conta Sudbrack. “Finalmente esse projeto poderia ser ativado pelo público geral, e não só aquele público das artes plásticas. A gente finalmente poderia abrir esse espaço e promover performances dentro da instalação.” Sob a direção de Silvia Karman Cubiñá, que foi assistente de Rosa na época, o Bass preserva o espírito original da obra, que faz uma celebração da fluidez e da participação. Reinstalada até 2027, AVAF XI convida o público a dançar e festejar a diversidade em tempos de polarização digital. Em Miami, o coletivo também atualiza um aspecto essencial de sua trajetória: a valorização das comunidades marginalizadas e das culturas que inspiraram sua linguagem visual. No centro da mostra está o vídeo “Boot Queen Realness with a Twist in Pastel Colors”, criado antes mesmo do YouTube existir. “Esse vídeo é uma compilação de várias categorias de bailes de vogue”, explica o artista. “Tem clipes, registros de boates dos anos 80, trechos do Soul Train, vídeos de artistas jovens e renomados. A gente montou isso um ano antes do YouTube existir, com aquele espírito da internet do começo dos 2000.” Gesto político de resistência Essas imagens, no entanto, não estão ali apenas pela estética. São também um gesto político de resistência e reconhecimento das comunidades negras, latinas e queer que criaram espaços de liberdade muito antes de serem aceitas nos museus. “A gente acentuou essa característica queer, mas num sentido mais amplo — não só ligado à sexualidade”, diz Sudbrack. “É sobre fluidez, mutação, sobre incluir pessoas e comunidades que normalmente não são reconhecidas dentro de um museu. A gente queria que esse público se visse representado ali.” Sobre a experiência que espera proporcionar ao público, o artista afirma que seu objetivo é relembrar a importância da presença física, algo que as redes sociais, segundo ele, não substituem. “As mídias sociais dão uma sensação de comunidade, mas sem presença real”, diz. “A gente precisa desse encontro, dessa troca de energia. Essa instalação é uma chamada pra que as comunidades participem, se energizem.” Entre o corpo e a cor, entre o digital e o real, Assume Vivid Astro Focus XI transforma o museu em um espaço de energia compartilhada e resistência poética. A instalação fica em exibição no Bass Museum, em Miami, até 2027.

Chris Mack has been locked up in Mississippi's Rankin County Jail on and off since he was a teenager. In a lawsuit, he detailed a jailhouse assault that left him with broken ribs, a broken nose, and two black eyes. But it wasn't just guards who attacked him. Mack said a group of inmates joined in—men in the jail's Trusty Inmate Program, who had special privileges and wore blue jumpsuits. “They were called the blue wave,” Mack said.Through more than 70 interviews with former inmates and officers, reporters from Mississippi Today and the New York Times discovered a system in which guards ordered beatings, inmates who participated were rewarded, and those trying to raise an alarm about the system for more than a decade were ignored.This week on Reveal, on the heels of our reporting on abuses in the Rankin County Sheriff's Department run by Sheriff Bryan Bailey, we expose a wave of violence in his county jail.

Original Pub Date: 1/14/19 On July 2nd, 1881, a disappointed and mentally unstable office-seeker named Charles Guiteau shot President James A. Garfield in a Washington D.C. train station. Over the next weeks, Garfield would linger, bedridden, as infection set in, caused by poor medical treatment, and America would wait with bated breath over whether their beloved president would survive. Meanwhile, Guiteau, the most hated man in America, would face trial and possible execution.

Nearly 7 million Americans currently live with Alzheimer’s and by 2060, experts say that number could be as high as 14 million. Scientists are trying to find out how one man has been able to stave off Alzheimer's for 25 years, despite having a rare genetic mutation that, doctors say, essentially guaranteed he’d develop the disease.
