PREVIEW Measuring Local Economy Amid Low Consumer Confidence Jim McTague Jim McTague visited Kitchen Kettle Village in Lancaster County, observing lots of tourists and entrepreneurs with business seemingly going well. This local economic activity, where people appeared hungry and eager to spend money, contrasts with national reports stating that the consumer confidence number is at an all-time low.

Jim McTague reports that the economy in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, is strong, suggesting it mirrors the greater US economy despite reports of low consumer confidence, observing robust traffic at tourist destinations like Kitchen Kettle Village, a shopping locale established in 1954, with spending largely supported by well-off boomers. Local entrepreneurs are experiencing great success—a dealer selling eclectic electric lamps in Park City Mall is already earning $4,500 per week at the start of the holiday season, and high volume at Costco, where the Amish are major buyers, further indicates available disposable income. McTague concludes that the real economy on Main Street is strong and likely headed for a blockbuster Christmas season. 1954

Londinium 91 AD: Corruption and the Imperial Slip. Gaius and Germanicus shift attention to Washington, observing that wealth has grown more powerful than government in the U.S., similar to Rome's path into empire. Evidence includes Washington insiders like Rudy Giuliani and Hunter Biden allegedly operating on payrolls of corrupt foreign interests such as the Democratic Republic of Congo. Republicans typically avoid registering foreign work under the Foreign Agents Registration Act by using cutouts or undocumented money, while Democrats use think tanks during interregnums, making the process so transparent it suggests everybody's in on the game. Insiders are even willing to work for adversaries like sanctioned Russian arms makers or the Taliban under the justification of private diplomacy. Germanicusanalyzes this decline through three vantages: the Gilded Age, where corporations owned government but lacked today's foreign entanglement; foreign penetration, where adversaries and allies like Israel, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia have enormous leverage; and irreconcilable ideological conflict, where corruption fuels severe ideological struggle tearing away the rule of law. They conclude that the transition into an emperor system is subtle and happens without notice, weakening the system when corruption damages trust. SULLA

Catherine Liu, Professor of Film and Media Studies at UC Irvine, discusses her forthcoming book, Traumatized: The New Politics of Suffering (Verso, 2026), wherein she elucidates the emergence of trauma culture, tracing it back to psychoanalysis and the reification of mental health in post-war America. Analysing the fetishisation and recognition of feelings, Liu historicises the explosion of psychoanalysis in the United States in the 1950s and the rise of New Left in the 1960s, which advanced “the personal is political,” an idea quickly adopted by second-wave feminists. Observing how the discourse of trauma has permeated all areas of society, such that feelings have been prioritised over knowledge and “centering feelings” has replaced scientific inquiry, Liu critiques how the professional managerial class thrives on rebranding, promoting credentials, and creating new identities, all in order to advance the collapse of the separation between work and leisure. Noting how workers have fought for years to maintain a separation of work from leisure time, Liu muses on the invasive, destructive force of the Silicon Valley New Left and professional middle-class feminists who have driven the insistence of a non-differentiated space where “we are always at work”, therefore our private lives are expected to be “on display through our performance virtue.” She examines the dynamics of how anti-normativity and transgression function within the writings of Michel Foucault, since they invariably strengthen normativity. Nonetheless, Liu vituperates the bastardisation of these valences under the scope of identity politics, which forces the merging of one's personal life, politics, and intellectual practices.

Come to a Dehoarding Accountability Zoom Session: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/ticket Subscribe to the podcast: https://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/subscribe Podcast show notes, links and transcript: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/  On this episode, I'm joined by Dr Jan Eppingstall to unpack how our possessions connect with our sense of identity and self-concept, and why letting go can feel so threatening for those of us who hoard. We talk through how objects hold meaning, memories, and dreams for the future, and what it looks like to build a stronger sense of self without clinging to things. If you've ever felt like discarding something meant losing a part of yourself, you definitely want to listen to this one. We break down exactly why that fear happens and where to start. A plant pot associated with negative experiences. Discussion of emotional and aesthetic reasons for keeping vs. discarding. Objects “glowering" at us. Identity and Self-Concept in Hoarding Definition of identity and self-concept. Possessions and Sense of Identity The psychological process of possessions intertwining with identity. How this differs from typical sentimental attachment. Retention itself (rather than use or display) as a meaning-making act in hoarding. The difference between identity (roles, characteristics, life story) and self-concept (beliefs about self, worth, and abilities). Typical patterns seen in people with hoarding disorder: fragmented identity, externalised identity via objects. Psychological Fusion Between Identity and Possessions The concept of "identity objects" — how discarding items feels like losing part of oneself. Objects as external proof and storage for identity, memory, and meaning. Safety of objects over human relationships. The cycle of validation and shame in hoarding. Pathways to Possession-Identity Fusion Childhood experiences and boundary violations leading to control needs. Identity confusion and external markers for self-definition. Psychological ownership: objects as self-extension. Functions of retained objects—proof of past, present, and future self. Anthropomorphism and obligations to objects. Executive function challenges: objects as external memory aids. Perfectionism and fantasy identity protection. Influence of cultural materialism and marketing. The Fear of Losing Identity When Discarding Objects "Throwing away part of myself." Three psychological routes for ownership: control, intimate knowledge, and personal investment. The role of control and avoidance of uncertainty. The painful admission of poor judgment (e.g., unworn clothing) when discarding. Possessions as Identity Markers Retaining items from past roles (retired teachers, old job materials). Holding onto objects representing hopes for future identity. Objects as evidence for important life chapters, relationships, or personal history. Psychological needs these objects serve and when that becomes problematic. Books as Proof of Intellectual Identity Discussion of books held as evidence of being intellectual, regardless of actual reading. Exploration of how objects can become substitutes for action and risk. Therapeutic approach to shifting identity building from possession to action. Community and Connection in the Hoarding Journey The loneliness and isolation frequently felt by people who hoard. The importance of community, connection, and peer support, including podcast listeners and accountability sessions. Effects of increased openness and connection on identity. Identity Shifts During Dehoarding and Recovery Changes in identity during the process of recovery and letting go. Building new narratives — sometimes research or recovery itself becomes an identity. Increased connection and belonging through shared experience and vulnerability. Maintaining Identity Without Excessive Possession Strategies for building identity through actions, creativity, and lived experience. Selecting representative or truly meaningful items rather than keeping everything. Observing how "non-hoarding" individuals make decisions about sentimental items. Discomfort and growth opportunities in sharing one's journey while still in progress. The value of authenticity and vulnerability. First Steps for Listeners Fearing Loss of Self Through Discarding Acknowledging that fear is rational and understandable. Suggesting mindful observation of attachment thoughts. Testing beliefs by gentle action, e.g., creative tasks with what is already available. Finding supportive people for accountability and encouragement. Reflective work on personal values — building identity from the inside. Reassurance that identity predates possessions and is not dependent on them. Objects as scaffolding rather than the core of one's identity. Encouragement to trust oneself and to start building stability from within.

In this episode, we're joined by Prof. Damian Trilling from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, who opens the door to the world of machine learning for opinion research. Damian explains how citizens consume and share news today — and how machine learning helps us make sense of these patterns at scale. We unpack the difference between supervised and unsupervised machine learning and explore how blending both can strengthen research projects. Damian also shares why these methods hold so much promise for the future of studying opinionated communication and news use in the digital age.

Artspeak Radio, Wednesday, November 12, 2025, 9am -10am CST, 90.1fm KKFI Kansas City Community Radio, streaming live audio www.kkfi.org Producer/host Maria Vasquez Boyd welcomes artists Lori Buntin and Jamil Lee. LORI BUNTIN (she/her/hers) is a multi-media artist, drawing from urban spaces and rural landscapes, social issues, and philosophy to guide her artistic output. Observing color, light, and form is what informs the subjects and compositions of her paintings. Pondering social and environmental issues, along with her frequent walkabouts in the urban core, collecting found objects, inform her mixed media work. These treks also reveal many of the subjects and compositions that end up in her paintings. Lori has worked in various realms of the fine and commercial art world. A custom picture framer since college days, practicing professionally to the present. She has produced many commissioned paintings, mixed media awards, worked as a muralists's assistant, managed a production crew in the hospitality industry, and created and fabricated multiple two- and three- dimensional works for interior public and private spaces. She has taught introductory drawing and painting at the college level, as well as in her private studio over the years. Her paintings and other artworks are in homes and collections across the country. Currently, Lori is focusing solely on her studio work in her space at the Livestock Exchange Building in Kansas City's West Bottoms. Instagram :  @loribuntinstudio Regarding Open Studios -  Friday, November 14  -  5pm-9pm Saturday November 15 -  11am-3pm Livestock Exchange Building 1600 Genessee Street -  in the West Bottoms There will be over 60 artists participating in this event, representing several different disciplines.

The event is free to the public. Facebook :   https://www.facebook.com/stockyardsstudios Instagram :  @stockyards_studios JAMIL LEE- My name is Jamil Lee and I am the founder of the International African American Art Museum of Kansas City. The museum was founded in late 2023. Since our start we have strived to be a great museum that has intimate settings allowing our guest and patrons to meet the artist though engaging shows and artist talks. With the intent of bringing African American art to the forefront. All while raising the next generation of African American artists to do significant things in the Kansas City area. We have already started some amazing indeavors here in the Kansas City area with our partners such as the ImPulse Gallery that is owned by the Black Economic Union and Nikki Gibson State Farm in developing pop-up miniature exhibits that last for three 30 days. We have helped over 30 plus artists gain exposure to corporate entities and the general public they would not have other wise known about. We have also been able to independently teach youth through our Spark program. Supporting Positive Artistic Resilient Kids. Through our program we have been able to help young artists in foundational art study and at the end of the program we give the kids their first art show. This allows the children to gain confidence and allows the process of learning how to conduct yourself properly and professionally as an artist. Although we thoroughly enjoy doing pop-ups we will never stop doing what brought us to the table. We do however see the need to be more unique and creative in our endeavors. We don't want to be just regulated to doing shows on the weekend and we do want people to visit us while still maintaining a pop-up presence. We are currently looking for fiscal partners in the realm of donations and sponsorships to help us gain access to a space that we can call home. We are also looking for those same partnerships to help us in our mobilized art museum. We will be converting a 17 foot box truck into our mobile art museum so we can better serve our community by popping up anywhere in Kansas City and the surrounding areas. We also want a additional smaller box truck to be our mobile STEM lab for kids called the SPARK LAB These three new endeavors will also allow us to grow deeper connections in the arts and business communities respectfully. We are currently looking for donations and funding we are looking for a total of fifty thousand dollars to begin our process of strategic planning financial planning and renting our own space this will allow us to grow deeper within our community teach and raise young artists and cultivate emerging and mid-career African American and Hispanic artists to greater new heights. I have been an artist and designer for over 20 years. Doing shows not only in the Kansas City area but around the country Washington DC summer of 2023 was the last show that I did outside of the Kansas City area. Now that you know a little bit about me and what we do I as the founder of IAAAMKC would hope to have your continued support. We can't do any of this without your support.

1. Ancient Interpretations of Mars, Cosmology, and the Roots of Astronomy. Matthew Shindell examines how ancient civilizations viewed Mars, often anthropomorphizing it or seeing it as a communicator of heavenly will. The Mayans, observing Mars's bright appearance during opposition and subsequent retrograde motion, depicted it in the Dresden Codex, which archaeologists call the "Mars beast." In Han and Qin Dynasty China, Mars was associated with omens of disaster like warfare and famine. The meticulous record-keeping and predictive mathematics developed by Mesopotamian astronomer-astrologers, in their search for omens, led to what some historians call the "birth of science." The classical Greek model, exemplified by Ptolemy, posited an Earth-centered universe. However, Mars posed a specific challenge: its retrograde motion was difficult to explain within the accepted Aristotelian physics of perfect circular motion.

Neighbors don't necessarily become friends, but Alex and I have gotten to know each other through family hangouts and working together on the board of our co-op building. I think of myself as someone who has a lot of energy, but from what I could tell, Alex is at another level. In addition to being a dad and working as a software engineering manager at Meta, Alex is the unofficial engineer-in-residence for our building; serves and was recently elected as Chair for Community Board 7, the community board that represents our portion of the Upper West Side; volunteers as a NYPD Auxiliary Police officer; and owns several side hustle businesses, including a direct to consumer shoe company, Skippies. And so I've wanted to have him on the show for a long time to ask him essentially one question: how do you do it? Where do you get the energy, motivation, mindset to do all the things that you're doing?And then more recently, Alex went through surgery for cancer. I was worried about him and his family, and then a week or so later, he was back, almost like nothing happened. Observing this from the great distance of the apartment next door, this gave me one more question to ask him: how are you really doing?

Welcome to Day 21 of our October mindfulness journey. Today, Nieta guides us through a powerful practice of observing emotions noticing what arises in the mind and body without judgment or labeling. This exercise is best practiced in real-time, when a strong emotion surfaces. Whether joy, frustration, sadness, or excitement, the invitation is to simply observe and allow, rather than react. This builds equanimity the ability to remain steady and present, no matter what arises. With just one day left, you're almost at the finish line! Thank you for being here, for showing up, and for practicing together.

Thank you for being such a beacon of light and strength for women around the world.  You were born a Queen.  A divine, regal being of light. Born with incomprehensible strength, wisdom and beauty. Full of grace and love. There may be times when you forget,  You feel unsure,  Or knocked down by life. Just put on your crown, beautiful, and you'll be reminded of who you are at your core. Who you are just because you were born. You are a Queen. So close your eyes and come inside, As you settle your body. Tuning into its gentle noises and rhythms. Becoming aware of this present moment and how special it is in its ordinariness. Observing yourself sitting here, Eyes closed, Belly expanding and contracting with your slow, easy breathes. The miracle of your body working for you, giving you life and carrying you through this world. The specialness of you taking this time to feed your soul with this meditation. Honor yourself, And breathe… PAUSE… You are a Queen. A woman who has been born into greatness, Who has been bestowed with the privileges of living this life, Of feeling deeply the happiness and the sadness that it can bring. Of being completely floored by the heaviness of its challenges, Of being off-kilter and far away from your center, And still having the ability to find your way home. You are a woman whose royalty does not make you better than or less than others, But rather lives and evolves within your soul, And easily recognized the Queens all around you. This life is yours to make, This royal power is yours to take. All you have to do is put on your crown, beautiful, And claim it.

Ori Goldberg, an independent analyst and specialist in Middle Eastern Studies, analyses the profound militarisation within his country, Israel, that involves the “desensitivisation as to the very existence of Palestinians as human beings” such that Israelis themselves know nothing about Palestinians, resulting in the only permissible history of Israel being that of the Jewish narrative. Covering the deeply ideological and historical “zero-sum game” whereby Israelis are uniquely allowed access to the narrative of victimisation, Goldberg explains the refusal of Israelis to see the humanity of Palestinians, remarking, “If they are acknowledged as full-fledged humans, then there is something wrong with us, there is something that undermines our right to live here.” Observing how the desensitisation of Israelis to Palestinians functions, Goldberg claims that Israelis do not possess the language to describe Palestinians “except as a threat” in the second order; however, Israeli's first order of understanding the Palestinian is that of “nothingness” where Palestinian deaths “don't even register.” Assessing the greatest weakness of Israel—that it does not register the reality of Palestinians—Goldberg describes how a member of Knesset stated that the only health risk facing Gazans is “obesity,” noting, “That is not how you want to talk about a people who actively, consciously want to vanquish—it's how you talk about a people whose existence seems like a fantasy to you to begin with.” The fact that Israel attacks at will and kills indiscriminately, Goldberg asserts, is not significant in terms of its strategic power. To the contrary, Goldberg suggests that Israel's main weakness, despite its aggression, is that it has alienated even its closest allies while also coming very close to being a failed state. Suggesting that Israel can only be saved through a “strategic implosion” that will ultimately shape its “response and its willingness to accept externally imposed positions,” Goldberg confirms that the light on the horizon is that vast majority of the world's population no longer cares about Israelis' feelings or their sense of victimhood, noting that Israel can blame itself for the position in which it has created for itself.

Isla MacGregor, a free speech and whistleblower advocate in Tasmania, Australia, relates the blowback she has experienced by gender-critical feminists for her criticism of the Israeli genocide in Gaza that is reminiscent of the very same type of behaviour enacted by the gender ideologues whom these feminists had heretofore criticised. Observing how the slurs and slogans that have been used by those feminists defending Israel's genocide of Palestinians are remarkably similar in both form and spirit to the slurs used against women's rights activists over the past two decades, MacGregor analyses these tactics as part of a wider war propaganda machinery. Summarising how many feminists whose “absolute ignorance of the history of Palestine and the Israeli conflict” functions in oppositional incoherence to these same feminists' critique of gender ideology, MacGregor discusses how gender ideology's complete absence of any hard evidence or rigorous peer-reviewed research is eerily similarly to Zionist and pro-genocidal beliefs: many people in these groups do not care about evidence or reality, nor do they care. MacGregor notes the irony in how many feminists who had long fought against the anti-reality, counterfactual discourse of gender ideology are now adopting an anti-factual posture when it comes to Israel as they shut down other women who recognise the reality of the current genocide in Gaza, asking, “What did we learn from the trans rights debate?” Get full access to Savage Minds at savageminds.substack.com/subscribe

Episode Summary:In this deeply reflective and transformative episode, we dive into the fascinating experience of observing the two versions of ourselves: the unhealed self and the healed self. Alli opens up with personal stories and moments of self-awareness, sharing how she recognizes her emotional triggers and how each version of herself responds — one with reaction, the other with compassion.This conversation invites you to become the observer in your own life. How often are you operating from your unhealed version — the one driven by fear, habits, and unconscious patterns? And how often are you rooted in your healed self — the part of you aligned with peace, presence, and your higher wisdom?We explore how this journey of integration is at the heart of our collective evolution — stepping into the 5D frequency, the frequency of the New Earth. Living more from our healed selves means embodying our higher selves and consciously creating a life from love, awareness, and alignment. We also discuss the ways we sometimes slip back into our unhealed patterns, such as:    •    Binge eating    •    Drinking or substance use    •    Gossiping or negative self-talk    •    Repeating limiting habitsBut this isn't about judgment — it's about compassion and awareness. This episode is a reminder that every step toward integration is a step toward a more expansive, empowered version of you. Topics We Cover:    •    What it means to observe your healed vs. unhealed self    •    Personal stories of inner conflict and compassion    •    Recognizing emotional triggers and responding with awareness    •    Understanding 5D consciousness and New Earth energy    •    How old habits can pull us back into lower frequencies    •    Practical ways to anchor more deeply into your healed self This episode is for you if you're:    •    Curious about spiritual growth and inner healing    •    Seeking to understand your own emotional reactions    •    Wanting to live more in alignment with your higher self    •    Interested in 5D frequency and conscious living Wherever you are on your healing journey, know that awareness is the first step — and you're already on your way.Join us on all social platforms@soul.star.energy.collectiveWebsite:SoulStarEnergyCollective.comAllison & MandyIntuitive Teacher's | Healers Soulstarenergycollective.comInstagramThe Soul Star Podcast

When we try to “fix” life, sometimes it only breaks further. In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha examine how our material solutions—cars, technology, medicine—can backfire when they stem from the impulse to control, not harmonize. Through the lens of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.13.44, Tagore's warning, and a margarine ad that tried to fool Mother Nature, this discussion reveals how true wisdom isn't about domination—it's about surrender, humility, and learning to live in harmony. What you'll take away: * Why control breeds chaos and how we get stuck in whack-a-mole fixes * The folly of “doing better than nature” — margarine vs. butter * Newton's insight: explanation is not origin * The meaning of sattva (contentment) vs. rajas (complication) * How Viṣṇu's all-pervading nature humbles our intellect * Observing the small (even just chickens) to glimpse the cosmos * Practical suggestions for aligning with nature instead of conquering it

He reflects on how eight years at McKinsey, the personal challenges of long COVID, and the limits of corporate consulting led him to take the leap into entrepreneurship. They discuss the realities of product market fit iteration and the decision to pursue a semi-bootstrapped model rather than a VC-funded growth path. Philipp also shares how his toughest teenage year in Shenyang shaped his resilience and why focus on what truly matters became his personal north star, guiding him as he built Dr. Shiba from functional supplement treats into a wellness ecosystem now serving millions of customers across Southeast Asia and the UK. 02:00 Childhood across Germany, China, and Singapore built resilience and cultural fluency: Philipp recalls being the only foreigner in Chinese kindergarten, summers in Germany with extended family, and adapting to contrasting environments. 07:28 McKinsey years taught structure but came with high pressure: Philipp learned problem solving, investor communications, and performance systems, but he also faced unsustainable hours and a constant cycle of pressure. 14:23 Long COVID forced clarity and career reset: Contracting the virus in New York and suffering heart issues left Philipp fearful and uncertain, which led him to reassess his values and priorities in life. 18:54 Partnership revealed as a golden cage: Observing partners' constant travel, endless client demands, and limited upside compared to entrepreneurship convinced Philipp to leave consulting. 22:21 Transitioning to founder life meant unlearning: Moving from slide decks to execution, Philipp raised funds, managed co-founder conflicts, and worked from a Manila coffee shop with no salary while building Tyger Brands. 27:36 Product market fit narrowed focus to Dr. Shiba: Starting with three consumer brands, Philipp and his team doubled down on the pet supplies line that scaled fastest, allowing the others to fade. 31:32 Bravery defined by survival in Shenyang: At 16, Philipp lived through minus 30 winters, two-hour commutes, and forgotten Chinese in an industrial city, which tested and built his resilience.  Watch, listen or read the full insight at https://www.bravesea.com/blog/philipp-renner-brave-brand-leap Get transcripts, startup resources & community discussions at www.bravesea.com WhatsApp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VakR55X6BIElUEvkN02e TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jeremyau Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeremyauz Twitter: https://twitter.com/jeremyau LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/bravesea English: Spotify | YouTube | Apple Podcasts Bahasa Indonesia: Spotify | YouTube | Apple Podcasts Chinese: Spotify | YouTube | Apple Podcasts Vietnamese: Spotify | YouTube | Apple Podcasts

After growing up on a farm, Mollie Engelhart built a vegan restaurant empire in Los Angeles, which she planned to sell before COVID disrupted her plans. During the pandemic, she lost her income and spent time back on the farm, using nature's lens to question societal constructs like veganism. These experiences inspired her book, Debunked by Nature, where she shares her shift to truth-seeking based on natural cycles. She now lives on a Texas ranch, advocating for authentic living through storytelling. Mollie experiments with regenerative techniques on her Texas ranch, like mulching to combat oak wilt and bale grazing to boost soil health in caliche soils. She advocates for local food systems, resilient communities, and soil stewardship through her book and Epoch Times writings. She aims to inspire sustainable farming through her innovative practices, like propagating adapted trees and hedging crop plantings. In this episode, John and Mollie discuss: Shifting away from veganism and recognizing life-death cycles in food production. Building resilient communities through local food systems and family governance. Using deep mulching with juniper chips to reverse oak wilt in Texas' calcareous soils. Enhancing soil fertility through bale grazing, leveraging carbon to boost pasture growth. Adapting crop plantings, like late-season corn and sesame, to hedge against erratic weather and pests. Propagating locally adapted tree varieties to support regional farming success. Observing local ecosystems to inform management, avoiding blanket solutions for diverse soils.

The metaphor for our thoughts in this meditation is that of fish jumping ever so briefly out of the water before returning once again to the still waters below. The fish is rising to the surface before we even notice, just like our thoughts. It is when they come above the surface, into our conscious awareness, that we claim authorship and identity around them. That we create stories around them. What if, instead, we merely observed? This observation gives our minds a chance to rest and for greater peace to emerge. Want more meditations and early access?

#MARKETS:   LIZ PEEK THE HILL. FOX NEWS AND FOX BUSINESS: Elizabeth Peek: Elizabeth Peek examines the persistent tension between the White House and the Federal Reserve, observing that Chairman Jay Powell's actions are often perceived as politically motivated. She attributes high inflation during the Biden years to belated rate hikes and points to a "bound up housing market" due to past low mortgage rates and current high rates, making housing unaffordable. Peek highlights the underestimated, rapid impact of AI, noting its widespread adoption (700 million weekly ChatGPT users) indicates genuine, impactful companies rather than a bubble. She also supports Trump's proposal for addressing homelessness via dedicated facilities. 1808 BANK OF ENGLAND
