In 1644 four norcini or pork butchers were accused of killing not pigs, but seven of their fellow citizens, stripping the meat from the bones, then combining it with pig to make sausages, which were then sold to Romans from their shop behind the Pantheon. In the multiple pamphlets describing this supposed crime, the authors of this accusation blamed residents of Rome themselves, who had become so obsessed with meat that they turned a blind eye to such horrendous acts. This fabricated story points to an underlying reality—that in the early seventeenth century, a series of popes dramatically increased the amount of food and wine consumed by Romans, culminating in a per capita consumption of over a pound of meat per day during the reign of Pope Urban VIII (d. 1644). The Barberini Butchers: Meat, Murder, and Warfare in Early Modern Italy (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2026) traces the efforts and activities of a range of actors who strove to bring meat to the Roman table. Dr. Bradford A. Bouley shows how Rome's preoccupation with food was the result of papal policy in the aftermath of the Reformation; food, and especially meat, served as religious and political propaganda, symbolizing the correctness of the Catholic faith and demonstrating the extent of papal power. Dr. Bouley details the dramatic reorganization of Roman foodways needed to satisfy this demand for meat, as large herds of animals had to be funneled from the countryside to the city. This consumption was ultimately not sustainable, triggering a crisis that fueled sensational rumors of murder and cannibalism and eventually, Dr. Bouley contends, sparked the outbreak of civil war, as vassals rebelled against papal oversight. The Barberini Butchers recovers this significant episode in food, environmental, and cultural history, one that brings early modern politics and history into conversation with concerns over human use of natural resources and consumption of animal products that continue to resonate clearly today. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

The Heresies of Radulf Burntwine: A Horror, Dark Fantasy, Medical Mystery Audio Drama Umberto Eco Meets H.P. Lovecraft in a world of Occult Academia, Laboratory Judaica. Heavily inspired by Jewish mythology, the world of Olam uses Hebrew, Arabic, Slavic and other real world languages and cultures to create a rich tapestry of a grim, fantastical, planet that doesn't sacrifice scientific accuracy or historicity. Theology and Pantheon: Shiga This lecture on the Theology and Pantheon of the Nagifim is the second in a series of Patreon bonus episodes intended to expand on the nature of the viral gods. This installment focuses on the surgeon god Shiga whose domain is madness and distortion of the mind. The Heresies of Radulf Burntwine sits at the intersection of dark fantasy, body horror, and forensic investigation. If you've ever wanted a podcast that treats disease and mythology with the same care as a true crime documentary, this is the show for you. Radulf is not a hero. He's a disgraced curmudgeonly cleric with a terrible bedside manner and more pride than sense. This episode contains: descriptions of cannibalism, bodily decomposition, eye trauma, tissue decay, grief, and the death of multiple characters including a child, suicide.

Abu and Leo dig into Pantheon, the wildly underrated animated sci-fi series almost nobody watched. Across the first four episodes they wrestle with what the show has to say about mortality, capitalism, and the promises we make about new technology. It is bold, timely, occasionally rough around the edges, and exactly the kind of science fiction they want more of. This episode contains SPOILERS for Pantheon Season 1 and for Ken Liu's short stories "The Gods Will Not Be Chained" and "The Gods Will Not Be Slain." IN THIS EPISODE Why the show's "uploaded intelligence" framing lands harder than Ken Liu's original "consciousness uploading," and what Logorhythms did to David behind his family's back. How the series fleshes out Ellen and David far beyond the page, including the breakup-after-death conversation the short stories leave out entirely. Steven Holstrom, Julius Pope, and the case that Pantheon is really asking whether religion and science were ever separate buckets to begin with.

Drei Tage vor dem russischen Angriff auf die Ukraine, im Februar 2022, behauptete Präsident Wladimir Putin, die moderne Ukraine sei »vollständig von Russland geschaffen« worden und habe nie eine Tradition echter Staatlichkeit gehabt. Kurzum: Für viele Ukrainer klang es so, als existiere ihre Nation gar nicht.Nun plant das ukrainische Parlament die Errichtung eines nationalen Pantheons. Dort soll an herausragende Persönlichkeiten der ukrainischen Geschichte erinnert werden. Die Idee kommt nicht überall gut an. Vor allem nicht in Polen. Host Juan Moreno spricht im Podcast »Acht Milliarden« mit Christian Esch, dem Osteuropa-Reporter des SPIEGEL. Wie setzt Präsident Selenskyj das nationale Gedenken ein, um die traditionelle Spaltung zwischen der West- und Ostukraine zu überwinden? Was genau wirft Polen der Ukraine vor, und warum eskaliert gerade der Streit zwischen den Nachbarn? +++ Alle Infos zu unseren Werbepartnern finden Sie hier.

Transcript created by Ai and might not be 100% accurate. Iran strikes 8 US military sites destroyedIran and Israel are inching closer and closer to all-out war with each other where the US will not be able to save Israelbecause their bases have been decimated aside from like one in Jordanthe salty one you've got the Houthi threatening to go in on the groundin Aden they've already been sending some probing shots with drones to oustthat Saudi puppet regime from there that leaves the option of closingthe Bob El-Mendab Strait Trump's not moving on these 14 points because Israel won't allow them.They're going to continue to bomb Lebanon no matter what, which means the MOU is moot.But Iran still had to go through the motions and show the world,China in particular,look, we tried to negotiate, we tried to make a deal, we tried to do everything.The U.S. continues to allow Israel to bomb,and they even sent ships into the strait last Friday. You know more market yo-yo.They hit eight U.S. targets with missiles.U.S. is packing up and moving west.Some think they may go as far west as Israel which kind of defeats the pointof having forward bases around Iran.But you know that part of the MOU is beingFollowed Because They Are Physically Being Forced To Do It Anyway Which I've Always Said Is The Only Way Because You Cannot Negotiate WithThe US They Are Unagreeable They Don't Honor Anything They Say You HaveTo Settle This On The Battlefield And That's What's Happening The Dream of Dreams is Israel is losing its only ally, America.And the Gulf states are powerless without the U.S.And Iran has allies in the Houthi,Hezbollah, and the PMU in Iraq, which is growing every day.And so you can see the writing on the wall,I wouldn't worry about ISIS, they're in a civil war right now.They're nothing without that Gulf Arab money anyway.And if that is sent to them, then the Gulf Arabs will get bombed.Saudi Arabia would love to do a double cross,but there's nothing They have no leverage and they're gonna have their hands full with the Houthis soon.It looks like ground invasion is imminent and Ifthat Bob El Mondeb straight is closed…Well,you might want to go fill up your gas tank We'll see how kinetic that one becomes But the big, big, big standoff is going to be Iran-Israel And the US?Can't save them And honestly, it's like Larry Johnson and I have been saying Look at the size It's 92 million It'sthe size of Alaska Hitting a little s**t country like Israel Can't sustainthat barrage of missiles They're going to be forced to tap And that'swhen we'll burn that Netanyahu candle We'll melt his faceIf you missed yesterday's story on other gods in the Bible and the story of Ashtoreth/Inanna/Ishtar here it is. She is one of many gods with resurrection stories but I do believe hers is the most metal. The news letter went out before i could make some crucial edits. If this is of no interest I wanna know. If religious history is something you would enjoy learning if nothing else but a break from the war let me know that. I think everyone needs to get their head around the Jewish god Yahweh and how he came about as a war god promoting rape and genocide to better understand the radical Judaism we have today and why israelis are the way they are. But first one had to learn about the Baals, Ashtoreth, Asherah, and Pantheon on El, and the chief gods of Phoneticians, Moabites, Eshmun and Chemosh, Baal-Melqart etcThis does not undermine Christianity at all IF you understand WHY Jesus who Jesus was rebelling against and why he was rebelling against Judaism and why they were so threatened by his message that they killed him. The Romanized Christianity today is a perversion of how it started. This is a public episode.

Hai mai visitato Roma? Se sì, probabilmente hai visto il Colosseo, Fontana di Trevi, Piazza di Spagna... Luoghi meravigliosi, certamente. Ma ti sei mai chiesto: come vivono davvero i romani? Dove abitano? Cosa fanno la sera? Quali problemi affrontano ogni giorno? Scopriamo insieme la Roma vera, quella che i turisti di solito non vedono. ROMA Autentica: Scopri Dove Abitano e Come Vivono i Veri Romani Roma Nord e Roma Sud: Due Mondi Diversi Come tutte le grandi città, anche Roma ha diverse "anime". La divisione principale che fanno i romani è tra Roma Nord e Roma Sud. Ma cosa significa esattamente? Roma Nord: l'Eleganza dei Parioli Roma Nord è considerata la parte più elegante della città, quella dove vivono le persone più ricche, più "benestanti" come si dice in italiano. Il quartiere simbolo di questa zona si chiama Parioli, e da questo nome è nata un'espressione molto usata a Roma: "pariolino". Se qualcuno ti dice che sei un pariolino, significa che ti vesti in modo molto elegante, curato, probabilmente con vestiti di marca. È uno stereotipo, certamente, ma i romani lo usano molto spesso. Roma Sud: l'Anima Popolare Roma Sud, invece, è tutta un'altra storia. Qui l'atmosfera è più popolare, più rilassata, più "di strada". Le persone si vestono in modo più casual e lo stile è completamente diverso. Chi segue questo stile viene chiamato "boro" o "coatto". Anche questa è un'etichetta, ovviamente, e non sempre è usata in senso positivo. Tuttavia, è importante non generalizzare. Come si dice in italiano, "non bisogna fare di tutta l'erba un fascio". Questa espressione significa che non si possono mettere tutti nello stesso gruppo. Non tutti quelli che vivono a Roma Nord sono pariolini eleganti, e non tutti quelli che vivono a Roma Sud sono coatti. La realtà è sempre più complessa degli stereotipi. Dove Vivono Davvero i Romani? Ecco una cosa che sorprende molti turisti: i romani non vivono a Trastevere. E neanche vicino al Colosseo o a Piazza Navona. Devi sapere che Roma è una città enorme. Ha 35 quartieri e circa 150 zone diverse. La popolazione? Quasi 3 milioni di persone. E la maggior parte di queste persone vive nelle zone periferiche, cioè lontano dal centro storico. Il motivo è semplice: il centro è bellissimo, certo, ma è anche carissimo. Affittare un appartamento vicino al Pantheon costa tantissimo. E poi il centro è sempre pieno di turisti, il che può essere stancante per chi ci vive. Quindi i romani preferiscono abitare in quartieri come Centocelle, Tuscolano, Monteverde, Ostia, Primavalle o Tor Bella Monaca. Probabilmente non hai mai sentito questi nomi. Ecco, questa è la Roma vera, quella dove la gente vive, lavora, fa la spesa, porta i bambini a scuola. I Problemi di Tutti i Giorni Roma è bella, questo è innegabile. Ma vivere a Roma non è sempre facile. Ci sono alcuni problemi che i romani affrontano ogni giorno. Il Traffico Il primo grande problema è il traffico. Roma è nota per il traffico intenso. Spostarsi in macchina può essere un vero incubo, soprattutto nelle ore di punta, cioè la mattina quando tutti vanno a lavorare e la sera quando tutti tornano a casa. Molti romani passano più di un'ora al giorno bloccati nel traffico. Un'ora per andare al lavoro, un'ora per tornare. Ogni giorno. Le Buche E poi ci sono le buche. Se noleggi una macchina quando visiti la città, fai molta attenzione: le strade romane sono piene di buche. E alcune sono così grandi che i romani le chiamano "voragini", cioè buchi enormi dove potresti quasi cadere dentro con tutta la macchina. La cosa interessante è che i romani ormai affrontano il problema con ironia. Su Internet si trovano tantissimi meme su questo argomento. Qualcuno ha persino creato immagini con l'intelligenza artificiale dove le buche diventano piscine. L'ironia è l'arma preferita dei romani. I Trasporti Pubblici Un altro problema sono i trasporti pubblici. La metropolitana di Roma ha solo 3 linee: la A, la B e la C. Sono poche per una città così grande. Per fare un confronto, Milano ne ha 5, Londra ne ha 11, Parigi ne ha 16. Gli autobus esistono, certo, ma spesso sono in ritardo o troppo pieni. Tuttavia, negli ultimi anni, soprattutto con il Giubileo del 2025, la situazione sta migliorando. Il Problema dei Rifiuti Infine c'è il problema dei rifiuti. A volte i cassonetti della spazzatura sono così pieni che i rifiuti restano per strada per giorni. D'estate, con il caldo, la situazione diventa ancora peggiore. È un problema serio che le amministrazioni stanno cercando di risolvere, ma non è facile gestire i rifiuti di 3 milioni di persone. Perché non ci Sono Grattacieli a Roma? Una cosa che molti turisti notano è che a Roma non ci sono grattacieli. Almeno non nel centro storico. Come mai? Il motivo è molto semplice: costruire edifici molto alti rovinerebbe il panorama storico della città. Roma ha monumenti di 2000 anni. Se costruissero un grattacielo moderno vicino al Colosseo, sarebbe inappropriato. Il punto più alto del centro storico è la cupola della Basilica di San Pietro, che raggiunge 136 metri. E le regole urbanistiche dicono che nessun edificio può essere più alto di così nel centro. Se vuoi vedere Roma dall'alto, puoi andare in due posti bellissimi: il Gianicolo e il Giardino degli Aranci. Sono due punti panoramici meravigliosi e molto romantici. Da lì puoi vedere tutta la città. I grattacieli a Roma esistono, ma solo nella zona dell'EUR. È un quartiere molto moderno, abbastanza lontano dal centro, pieno di uffici e palazzi alti. Il grattacielo più alto si chiama Eurosky e raggiunge 155 metri. Ma la maggior parte dei turisti non va mai a vederlo. Quanto Costa Vivere a Roma? Se stai pensando di trasferirti a Roma, questa parte ti interesserà molto. Gli Affitti Il costo cambia tantissimo a seconda della zona. Se vuoi vivere nel centro storico, preparati a spendere molto: un piccolo appartamento può costare anche 1.500 o 2.000 euro al mese. Per questo motivo, la maggior parte delle persone vive nelle zone periferiche, dove si può trovare qualcosa di decente a partire da 700-900 euro. Molti studenti e giovani lavoratori scelgono di condividere l'appartamento con altre persone per dividere le spese. Mangiare Fuori Anche qui dipende molto da dove vai. Un caffè al bancone costa circa 1 euro o 1 euro e 20. Ma attenzione: se ti siedi al tavolo in una zona turistica, lo stesso caffè può arrivare a costare 3 o 4 euro. Una pizza margherita costa circa 7-10 euro. Una cena completa in una trattoria tradizionale costa tra i 20 e i 35 euro a persona. CosaPrezzo IndicativoCaffè al bancone1,00 - 1,20 €Caffè al tavolo (zona turistica)3,00 - 4,00 €Pizza margherita7,00 - 10,00 €Cena completa in trattoria20,00 - 35,00 €Affitto centro storico1.500 - 2.000 €/meseAffitto periferia700 - 900 €/mese Un consiglio da insider: allontanati dalle zone turistiche. Appena ti allontani dal centro, i prezzi scendono molto e il cibo diventa anche più buono e autentico. E se vedi un bar o un ristorante pieno di romani, entra lì senza pensarci due volte. I romani sanno dove si mangia bene e si spende poco. Le Abitudini dei Romani I romani hanno alcune abitudini che potrebbero sorprenderti. La Pausa Pranzo Una cosa che stupisce molto gli stranieri è la pausa pranzo. Se vieni a Roma e alle 14:00 trovi un negozio chiuso, non preoccuparti: è normale. Molti negozi e attività chiudono dalle 13:00 alle 15:30 o anche alle 16:00. I romani prendono il pranzo con calma, e molti tornano a casa per mangiare con la famiglia. Il Rituale del Caffè Il caffè merita un discorso a parte. Dimentica l'idea di sederti con il computer a sorseggiare un cappuccino per un'ora come si fa da Starbucks. A Roma il caffè si beve al bancone, in piedi, in massimo due minuti. Entri nel bar, ordini, bevi, paghi, esci. È un rituale velocissimo ma sacro. Certo, puoi anche sederti al tavolo, nessuno ti dirà niente. Ma pagherai di più e i romani ti guarderanno un po' straniti. L'Aperitivo Un'altra abitudine molto italiana, e molto romana, è l'aperitivo. Verso le 18:00 o le 19:00, i romani escono a prendere un drink con gli amici. Di solito uno spritz, un Negroni o un Campari, accompagnato da stuzzichini, cioè piccole cose da mangiare come olive, patatine, piccoli panini. È un momento sociale importante, un modo per rilassarsi dopo il lavoro e chiacchierare con gli amici. La Cena Tardi e la Passeggiata Dimenticati di cenare alle 18:00 come si fa in altri paesi. I romani cenano tardi, molto tardi. Le 20:30 sono considerate presto. Molte persone cenano alle 21:00 o anche più tardi. I ristoranti spesso aprono per cena solo dalle 19:30, e prima di quell'ora li troverai chiusi. Dopo cena, soprattutto d'estate, c'è un'altra tradizione molto italiana: la passeggiata. I romani amano camminare per le strade dopo aver mangiato, magari mangiando un gelato. È un modo per digerire, socializzare, godersi la città quando fa più fresco. Se visiti Roma d'estate, vedrai le strade piene di gente che passeggia anche alle 23:00. Dove Escono i Romani la Sera? I turisti vanno tutti a Trastevere per la vita notturna. Ma i romani? Preferiscono altri posti. San Lorenzo San Lorenzo è il quartiere universitario. È pieno di studenti, quindi trovi locali economici, birrerie, pizzerie a buon prezzo. L'atmosfera è giovane, alternativa e molto vivace. Se sei uno studente, questo è il posto ideale per te. Pigneto Pigneto è un quartiere che è diventato molto di moda negli ultimi anni. È il posto preferito dai romani più "hipster", cioè quelli a cui piacciono le cose alternative e vintage. Qui trovi murales colorati sui muri, locali con arredamento retrò e cocktail bar molto curati. Testaccio Testaccio è un quartiere storico e popolare, molto amato dai romani....
Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for June 24, 2026 is: pantheon PAN-thee-ahn noun Pantheon usually refers to a group of famous or notable people or things. It also refers to the officially recognized gods of a particular people, as well as to the Roman Pantheon, the domed temple begun in 27 B.C. and rebuilt circa 118-128 A.D. // With her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the distinguished bassist and songwriter joined a pantheon of musical legends. // His research is primarily dedicated to the Greek and Roman pantheons. See the entry > Examples: "From cheeky shots of celebrities like Jane Fonda and Arnold Schwarzenegger to extravagant, sensual portfolios of America's Olympic squads, the magazine's pantheon of photographers have helped to define the genre of sports portraiture." — Kahina Sekkaï, Vanity Fair, 14 May 2026 Did you know? Some of the earliest uses of pantheon in the English language refer to the most famous Pantheon, the circular domed temple built in Rome more than 19 centuries ago (and still standing). We can easily identify the origins of the temple's name, which the Romans borrowed from the Greek word for a temple honoring all their gods. That Greek word, pantheion, combines pan- ("all") and theos ("god"). In today's English, pantheon often refers to all the gods of a particular people (as in "the Egyptian pantheon"), a sense that arose in the 16th century but was rarely used until the 19th century. More often, though, pantheon bears a meaning developed later to refer to the eminent company of the highly venerated, be they human or not. A pantheon of this type includes no deities; it is a group of famous or notable people or things, as in "a book joining the pantheon of great world literature."

Real beauty is timeless, and so should be the architectural masterpieces of humanity, right? Well, some of them do have a chance to survive for centuries from now. When you stroll into the Pantheon in Rome, it puts on a show just like it did almost two thousand years ago. Then we've got the impressive Hoover Dam in the USA, designed to harness hydroelectricity and prevent water from going where it shouldn't. While it's not a single building, the Great Wall of China is an ancient marvel that has survived for centuries. And, luckily, it's just the beginning of the list. Learn more about your ad choices.

Historian Heather Ann Thompson's Fear and Fury: The Reagan Eighties, the Bernie Goetz Shootings, and the Rebirth of White Rage (Pantheon, 2026) recounts the 1984 New York City subway shooting in which Bernhard Goetz shot four Black teenagers—Darrell Cabey, Barry Allen, Troy Canty, and James Ramseur—and became both a fugitive and, later, a celebrated vigilante figure for many Americans frustrated by the social and economic tensions of the Reagan era. The book examines how media outlets like Rupert Murdoch's New York Post and later Fox News fueled public fear and anger, transforming Goetz into a hero while casting his victims as villains. Using archival materials and legal records, Thompson revisits the shooting's lasting impact and argues that it marked a pivotal moment in modern American politics, media, and racial attitudes. Dr. N'Kosi Oates is a curator. He earned his Ph.D. in Africana Studies from Brown University. Learn more about your ad choices.

David Helmer spent years working on cooling systems for GE jet turbines before moving to Boston Consulting Group, the Applied Physics Laboratory, and West Point. He joins Decouple to explain why the gas turbine, despite being conceptually understood for centuries, only became buildable in the crucible of the Second World War, and why mastering it remains beyond the reach of all but a handful of institutions on earth.The conversation covers the materials science at the heart of the technology, where turbine blades operate above their own melting point and components in continuous distress are kept flying for hundreds of additional cycles before refurbishment. We examine why innovation cycles in aviation are measured in decades rather than years, drawing direct comparisons to nuclear's certification constraints and contrasting both with the faster but higher-risk iteration model of the rocket sector. The discussion moves from aviation into power generation, tracing the combined cycle plant's efficiency gains, the AI-driven demand surge now stretching turbine order books to 7 years, and what the scramble to convert end-of-life commercial jet engines for data center power reveals about supply chain limits. The episode closes on geopolitics: why only 3 companies produce competitive commercial jet engines, what reverse engineering cannot unlock, and why Russia's turbine capability was always more dependent on Western materials, machine tools, and maintenance expertise than anyone acknowledged until the sanctions arrived.Listen to Decouple on:• Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6PNr3ml8nEQotWWavE9kQz• Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/decouple/id1516526694?uo=4• Overcast: https://overcast.fm/itunes1516526694/decouple• Pocket Casts: https://pca.st/ehbfrn44• RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/23775178/podcast/rssWebsite: https://www.decouple.media
Ken Liu graces ChinaTalk with his presence. He is the author of the Dandelion Dynasty silkpunk fantasy series and a brilliant short fiction writer — one of his stories was recently adapted into Sam Altman's favorite show, Pantheon. We all know his translation work on the first and third volumes of the Three-Body Problem trilogy, but even better was his absolutely brilliant translation and commentary of the Dao De Jing. As much as I hoped that project would get him fully on the classical Chinese translation train, he followed it up with a very different direction — a techno-AI thriller, All That We See or Seem, released late last year. Irene Zhang of ChinaTalk joins us to co-host. In a wide-ranging conversation, Ken Liu argues that: Technology is the most human thing we do — humans have always externalized our minds into the world and then allowed those creations to reshape who we are. AI “slop” won't stop humans from making art that matters, and the real distinction isn't quality versus slop, but between desire-fulfilling machines and artists who draw from the collective unconscious. The deeper danger of AI isn't machines replacing humans, but systems that train humans to behave like machines. Science fiction isn't prophecy, but mythology — and ideologies are just mythology's cheaper, hack cousins. Orwell, Shelley, Tolkien, and Le Guin endure not because they predicted the future, but because they gave us metaphors powerful enough to think with across generations. Large language models are intelligent, but can't be wise. Drawing on Laozi and Zhuangzi, Ken explains why everything that truly matters lies beyond language. Learn more about your ad choices.
