Those in the know have been (im)patiently waiting for The Peril of the Brutal Dark: An Ezra Cain Mystery. Of course, no one has been waiting as long as the comic's creators, Chris Condon and Jacob Phillips. The series originated when Condon was a student, determined to make the whole damn thing himself. Then, after discovering his That Texas Bloodcompatriot, Phillips, they did a draft for their Patreon, and even tried to manifest it into a legitimate Indiana Jones comics project. Their wishful thinking caught the attention of DC editor Chris Conroy, who suggested they make it part of their Vertigo Comics relaunch. Folding The Peril of the Brutal Dark into the iconic imprint solidified the concept and encouraged them to push its noir/adventure core to its highest potential. The comic wears its hardboiled blockbuster influences on its sleeve, while maintaining an aggressive intensity familiar to the readers of Condon and Phillips. That Texas Blood, The Enfield Gang Massacre, these are comics made by folks grown on bloody pop culture, but propelled into thematic realms that are anything but dusty. The Peril of the Brutal Dark is one of ten new titles launching within DC's new Vertigo imprint, resurrected six years after it was initially put away. The comic gives us an excuse to revisit the importance of Vertigo Comics within the industry when it launched, discuss its legacy, and consider what a new iteration means in an era when “Suggested for Mature Readers” no longer carries the allure it once did. We begin our conversation with Condon and Phillips by talking about their history with Vertigo Comics. How does The Peril of the Brutal Dark fit inside it? How has the comic evolved over the years? What separates their fedora-wearing hero, Ezra Cain, from the whip-cracking nazi-puncher that inspired him? If you think it's not punching nazis, you're wrong. More nazis get punched, like all should be. The Peril of the Brutal Dark: An Ezra Cain Mystery #1 arrives in comic book shops from DC Comics on 2/25. It's written by Chris Condon, illustrated and colored by Jacob Phillips, and lettered by Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou. Final Order Cutoff (FOC) is Monday, February 2nd. Follow Chris Condon on Bluesky.

The great storm that overtook the ship carrying Paul to Rome was a literal storm, but it was also an illustration of the storms that come into the life of a believer. At times we think we're exempt from those storms, but when they break on us with all their fury, where is our anchor? Join Dr. James Boice next time on The Bible Study Hour as he chronicles the storm that nearly succeeded in thwarting Paul's destiny in Rome.

 A series of threats have landed on the doorstep of leaders in higher education. These include a demographic cliff which jeopardizes the very existence of some institutions, the advent of AI and the uncertainties it presents for faculty and students prospects going forward, attacks on academic freedom from the Trump Administration, along with threats to cut off funding for research.  All of this in the wake of a ruling striking down affirmative action by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2023 and the turmoil on campus over treatment of both Jewish students and those demonstrating support for the Palestinian cause.  It’s no wonder the average college president occupies a chair some would ask ‘why would anyone want this job?’  Our guest, Beverly Daniel Tatum, Ph.D, was very successful in serving as the ninth president of Spelman College in Atlanta from 2002-2015.  In her latest book, “Peril and Promise”, she describes her innovative approach to leading a Historically Black College and University (HBCU), single sex institution for that length of time, as well as providing her insightful take on the challenges described above.

In October, the legendary naturalist Jane Goodall died at age 91. During her life, Goodall not only saw a lot of change in the world, but made a lot of it too.Her field work with chimpanzees transformed how both science and the general public view our fellow primates. In later years, as an activist and conservationist, she inspired countless young people to follow her lead and change the world. And despite political leaders recently seeming to prioritize the economy over the environment, Goodall always found reasons to remain hopeful.In September, Piya Chattopadhyay spoke with Goodall about her journey and her desire to keep sparking positive change.

At-home HPV testing has been approved by the FDA and is being widely marketed as a breakthrough in cervical cancer screening—offering convenience, privacy, and accessibility. But as enthusiasm grows, so do important questions.Can at-home HPV testing truly replace the Pap test? What cancers might be missed? And how should women and clinicians thoughtfully integrate this new option into evidence-based care?In this episode of Sky Women's Health, Dr. Carolyn Moyers talks with Dr. Richard Hopley, pathologist and Director of Clinical Pathology at PathAdvantage, to unpack what the headlines aren't telling you about FDA-approved at-home HPV tests.We discuss why HPV-only testing sounds appealing, what it does well, and where it falls short—especially when used as a replacement for the Pap test.Why This Matters to You* HPV testing alone can miss some cervical cancers—even with a negative result* Certain at-home tests detect transient infections, increasing anxiety and unnecessary procedures* The Pap test still provides critical information HPV tests cannot* Convenience should never come at the cost of missed or delayed diagnosesWhat You'll Learn* Who at-home HPV testing may help—and who it may not* Why many experts still recommend Pap + HPV co-testing* How to interpret HPV results without panic* How to make informed screening decisions that prioritize long-term healthBottom line: At-home HPV testing may expand access, but it does not replace comprehensive gynecologic care. Knowing the limits of new technology helps you protect your health—without relying on headlines alone.https://www.pathadvantage.com/at-home-hpv-testing-promise-or-peril/

In this solo episode, Nole dives deep into the tension between the cultural push for men to be extraordinary and the profound value of simply embracing the ordinary—or the mundane—in daily life.Inspired by a simple observation about a frantic lemur at an animal park ("He leads a simple life"), Nole explores the idea that while high-achieving goals (like a podcast, an adventure race, or a career milestone) are important, they occupy only a tiny fraction of our time. The bulk of our lives is spent on the ordinary, often overlooked tasks.Using the concept of the Time Wheel (a pie chart of your daily hours), Nole argues that if your stated priorities don't align with where you actually spend your time, you may be missing the most important opportunities for growth and fulfillment. He challenges men to approach the mundane—from laundry and cooking to exercise and even brushing teeth—with excellence and gratitude.This focus on doing the small things well is presented as a form of discipline that "bleeds" into the rest of life, strengthening relationships and fueling the pursuit of bigger goals. Ultimately, it's about finding the balance to ensure that the pursuit of excellence doesn't turn us into slaves of busyness, robbing us of time for peace, reflection, and truly appreciating life.Big thank you to My Epic and Facedown Records for the use of their song "Hail" in our podcast!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dz2RZThURTU&ab_channel=FacedownRecordsVideo referenced in this episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mY3UJLmXAUQSign up for a class at The Fire Up Program!https://www.fireupprogram.com/programsThe Fire Up Progam video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I__ErPW46Ec&t=12s&ab_channel=FireUpProgramThe Fire You Carry Instagram.https://www.instagram.com/thefireyoucarry/Donate to The Fire Up Program.https://www.fireupprogram.com/donateThe Fire Up Program Instagram.https://www.instagram.com/fireup_program/Kevin's Instagram.https://www.instagram.com/kevinpwelsh/?hl=enMyZone facility code for The Fire You Carry: CALIFUS001Get $60 off a MZ-Switch Heart Rate Monitor!https://buy.myzone.org/?lang=enUS&voucher=CALIFUS001-60

On Purpose with Jay Shetty: Read the notes at at podcastnotes.org. Don't forget to subscribe for free to our newsletter, the top 10 ideas of the week, every Monday --------- What idea have you been sitting on lately? What’s been holding you back from starting? Today, Jay sits down with engineer, innovator, and YouTube creator Mark Rober to explore the unexpected life experiences that shaped one of the internet’s most beloved minds. Mark shares the childhood moments that ignited his passion for building, breaking, and understanding how the world works, moments nurtured by a mother whose love, imagination, and encouragement helped lay the foundation for his life’s mission. He reflects on how her influence continues to ripple outward, inspiring millions of young people who learn, explore, and dream through his work today. Jay and Mark explore the mindset that carried Mark from NASA engineer to innovative educator, unpacking what it really means to “think like an engineer:” experiment boldly, embrace failure, and treat every setback as an opportunity to learn. They follow Mark’s unusual pivots, from designing Mars rover hardware to crafting Halloween costumes, to ultimately shaping a career that blends curiosity, storytelling, science, and play. Together they reveal the deeper lessons behind Mark’s most viral experiments: why creativity thrives when we stay childlike, how passion reveals itself through repetition, and why the most meaningful work grows from genuine excitement rather than algorithms or expectations. In this interview, you'll learn: How to Think Like an Engineer How to Stay Curious as an Adult How to Follow Your Passion Practically How to Build Ideas That Actually Work How to Find Creativity in Everyday Life How to Recognize Your Real Calling How to Inspire Others Through Your Work Keep following the questions that excite you, keep trying the things that scare you, and keep believing that you’re capable of far more than you realize.

Transcript:Sv: Det var december och den norra polarcirkeln var inbäddad i vinterns vita tystnad.En: It was December, and the northern Arctic Circle was embedded in winter's white silence.Sv: Axel, Elin och Lars hade rest till ishotellet i Jukkasjärvi för att fira en magisk jul.En: Axel, Elin, and Lars had traveled to the ice hotel in Jukkasjärvi to celebrate a magical Christmas.Sv: Hotellet glittrade under norrskenen, dess kristallina väggar skapar en drömlik atmosfär bland den snöklädda naturen.En: The hotel shimmered under the northern lights, its crystalline walls creating a dreamlike atmosphere among the snow-covered nature.Sv: Axel, en äventyrlig resebloggare, ville dokumentera deras unika upplevelse för sin blogg.En: Axel, an adventurous travel blogger, wanted to document their unique experience for his blog.Sv: Men något oväntat skulle snart ändra hans planer.En: But something unexpected would soon change his plans.Sv: Det började med att Lars kände en stickande känsla i halsen.En: It began with Lars feeling a stinging sensation in his throat.Sv: Han suckade tungt och försökte skaka av sig oron, men Elin, med sina oroliga ögon, märkte direkt att något var fel.En: He sighed heavily and tried to shake off the worry, but Elin, with her concerned eyes, noticed immediately that something was wrong.Sv: Lars började få svårt att andas, hans hud blev fläckig och röd.En: Lars started having difficulty breathing, his skin became blotchy and red.Sv: Det var en allvarlig allergisk reaktion.En: It was a severe allergic reaction.Sv: "Vi måste göra något!"En: "We have to do something!"Sv: ropade Elin.En: cried Elin.Sv: Snön låg tung utanför och det fanns få resurser i denna avlägsna plats.En: The snow lay heavy outside, and there were few resources in this remote place.Sv: Axel kände en våg av panik, hans gamla rädsla för medicinska situationer hotade att övermanna honom.En: Axel felt a wave of panic, his old fear of medical situations threatened to overwhelm him.Sv: Men han visste att han var tvungen att agera snabbt.En: But he knew he had to act quickly.Sv: Elin satte sig vid Lars sida och använde sina färdigheter som sjuksköterska för att hålla honom stabil.En: Elin sat by Lars' side and used her skills as a nurse to keep him stable.Sv: "Håll ut, Lars," sa hon lugnt men bestämt.En: "Hold on, Lars," she said calmly but firmly.Sv: "Axel, du måste skaffa hjälp."En: "Axel, you need to get help."Sv: Axel insåg att hans blogginlägg kunde vänta.En: Axel realized that his blog post could wait.Sv: Han sprang genom hotellet, letade efter en telefon.En: He ran through the hotel, looking for a phone.Sv: Förutom den kalla kylan, kände han nu vikten av ansvaret att rädda sin vän.En: Apart from the cold chill, he now felt the weight of the responsibility to save his friend.Sv: Han lyckades till slut hitta en anställd som kunde hjälpa dem att kontakta den närliggande byn för medicinsk hjälp.En: He eventually managed to find an employee who could help them contact the nearby village for medical help.Sv: Spänningen i luften lämnade ingen oberörd.En: The tension in the air left no one untouched.Sv: Tiden verkade sakta in, men tillslut kom ett fordon genom snön med nödutrustning och en läkare.En: Time seemed to slow down, but eventually, a vehicle came through the snow with emergency equipment and a doctor.Sv: Lars fick den

sprida sig i kroppen men också ett mentalt uppvaknande.En: Axel felt a relief spreading through his body but also a mental awakening.Sv: Han förstod nu att inga äventyr är värda mer än hans vänner.En: He now understood that no adventure is worth more than his friends.Sv: Inspirerad av denna insikt skrev han ett innerligt blogginlägg om vikten av vänskap och tillit, långt mer än om hotellets isiga skönhet.En: Inspired by this insight, he wrote a heartfelt blog post about the importance of friendship and trust, far more than about the hotel's icy beauty.Sv: Denna jul blev ett minne för livet, inte bara på grund av hotellets fantastiska isväggar och strålande norrsken, men för den styrka och värme som vänner kan ge varandra i svåra tider.En: This Christmas became a memory for life, not only

rädsla, han fann en djupare mening i sina äventyr.En: Axel had not only overcome his fear, he found a deeper meaning in his adventures.

On Purpose with Jay Shetty Key Takeaways  Engineering Thinking FrameworkEmbrace failure as discovery, foster insatiable curiosity, and iterate relentlessly The core principle: break things, test repeatedly, and view each failure as eliminating one wrong approachIf you can dream it, you can build it through iterative experimentation.Naive Optimism + Strategic ExecutionTurn ideas into action by combining an optimistic vision with a practical breakdown: define your end goal, decompose it into simple steps, identify knowledge gaps, and test incrementallyTransform fear into curiosity through hands-on building and reflection on lessons learned, rather than ego protection The Immersion Weekend Method: Dedicate 48 hours of complete immersion to explore new fascinations – consume every book, video, and resource available. This intensive sprint reveals whether something deserves permanent schedule integration and helps you fall in love with the process of incremental masteryDual-Track Success ModelAvoid binary thinking: maintain steady employment while pursuing passion projects during nights and weekends until they gain tractionThe most successful ventures pair a 10x visionary thinker with a logistics master (Jobs + Napoleon model), preventing burnout by keeping founders focused on their core love rather than pure managementContent that resonates triggers five core emotions: Adventure, humor, negativity, inspiration, or surprise More broadly: control only what's in your sphere of influence, commit to “hell yes” decisions exclusively, and recognize that outcomes revert to the mean Things are never as extreme as they appear in the moment.Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgWhat idea have you been sitting on lately? What’s been holding you back from starting? Today, Jay sits down with engineer, innovator, and YouTube creator Mark Rober to explore the unexpected life experiences that shaped one of the internet’s most beloved minds. Mark shares the childhood moments that ignited his passion for building, breaking, and understanding how the world works, moments nurtured by a mother whose love, imagination, and encouragement helped lay the foundation for his life’s mission. He reflects on how her influence continues to ripple outward, inspiring millions of young people who learn, explore, and dream through his work today. Jay and Mark explore the mindset that carried Mark from NASA engineer to innovative educator, unpacking what it really means to “think like an engineer:” experiment boldly, embrace failure, and treat every setback as an opportunity to learn. They follow Mark’s unusual pivots, from designing Mars rover hardware to crafting Halloween costumes, to ultimately shaping a career that blends curiosity, storytelling, science, and play. Together they reveal the deeper lessons behind Mark’s most viral experiments: why creativity thrives when we stay childlike, how passion reveals itself through repetition, and why the most meaningful work grows from genuine excitement rather than algorithms or expectations. In this interview, you'll learn: How to Think Like an Engineer How to Stay Curious as an Adult How to Follow Your Passion Practically How to Build Ideas That Actually Work How to Find Creativity in Everyday Life How to Recognize Your Real Calling How to Inspire Others Through Your Work Keep following the questions that excite you, keep trying the things that scare you, and keep believing that you’re capable of far more than you realize. Your next breakthrough might be just one experiment, or one brave attempt away.

Famously, we trace the Internet to ARPANET, a research network built for the US defense agency DARPA. But in the 1960s and 70s, ARPANET was just one of several computer networks operating around the world. And while it had users and cool technical innovations, it was a research tool. And it wasn't growing particularly fast. How did that turn into the capital-I Internet? We can blame - in part - Japanese supercomputers. In today's video, we explore the Japanese peril that brought us the Internet.

Guest Roger Moorhouse and host Iain Ballantyne discuss the German submarine threat in WW2 in a lively and engrossing chat. Roger is the author of several acclaimed books, including ‘Killing Hitler' and ‘First to Fight' and now ‘Wolfpack', an excellent single volume deep dive into the submarine arm of the Kriegsmarine - Hitler's navy - and which was reviewed in the November 2025 edition of Warships IFR. Topics touched on in this episode include pondering why the Germans placed their bets on the U-boat again, for the second time in a quarter of a century, despite having seen a similar strategy fail in WW1. Also discussed is the quality and character of the U-boat captains – cool, leather jacket, lumber jack shirt-wearing heroes or villains? Nazis to a man and fanatical supporters of the regime, of just Good Germans doing their best for their country? Iain asks Roger if ‘the U-boat peril' truly was the only thing that ever really frightened Winston Churchill in WW2 - or was the wartime British Prime Minister deploying his usual emotive characterisation to frame his own later record more valiantly? The term Wolfpack reeks of lethality, provoking a shiver of fear, but how effective were the U-boats really once the Allies improved tactics, weaponry and training? Roger provides his perspective on that topic in addition to considering the strategies of Karl Dönitz, the U-boat force boss. Looking at the moral dimension of the conflict, Roger and Iain ponder whether of not it is possible  to set aside the horror of the Nazis and what they did and feel empathy for the tens of thousands of young men in German submarines who died under a hail of Allied depth charges, bombs and gunfire.  Both host and guest offer a dose of common sense about the fantasy in some quarters of Hitler escaping in a U-boat to live out the rest of his days in South America. Finally, Iain asks Roger what he feels might be lessons for today in dealing with the Russian threat, which includes submarines.

Dr. Ezequiel Jimenez discusses his article published in Opinio Juris, “The 24th Session of the Assembly of States Parties to the Rome Statute: Time to Act.” In the article, he explains that, given the ICC's current state of polycrisis, it is imperative for member states of the Rome Statute to take concrete action to confront the Court's existential challenges rather than continue the status quo of issuing ineffective resolutions.

The average reader need not go far in a bookstore before, knowingly or not, they encounter authors who started their careers by self-publishing prior to achieving commercial success. Examples include Margaret Atwood, Andy Weir, Colleen Hoover, Anna Todd, E. L. James, Scarlett St. Clair, and many more. Such stories of self-made writers are compelling and seem more attainable to others with the accessibility of modern publishing platforms such as Amazon, Apple, Google, Kobo, Wattpad, Webtoon, Radish, Inkitt, Qidian, Tapas, and Swoon Reads. However, in Inequalities of Platform Publishing: The Promise and Peril of Self-Publishing in the Digital Book Era (U Massachusetts Press, 2025) Claire Parnell uncovers in her examination of the two most popular—Amazon and Wattpad—these services in fact perpetuate systemic racial, gender, and sexual bias against authors of color and queer authors through their technological, economic, social, and cultural structures. At a time when there is a real reckoning with the discrimination that has resulted in publishing opportunities for only relatively few privileged authors—who are often White, upper class, and male—self-publishing presents itself as an equalizer of sorts. Exploring that idea, Parnell shows that these platforms are not just intermediaries for information; they structure content and users in multiple, often inequitable, ways through their ability to set market conditions and apply algorithmic sorting. Combining original interviews, walkthrough method, metadata analysis, and more, Parnell finds that self-publishing platforms reproduce challenges for authors from marginalized communities. Far from equalizing the market, the new platforms instead frequently perpetuate the stubborn barriers to mainstream success for BIPOC and queer authors. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode Bill speaks with Jacob Ward, a longtime technology journalist. He's worked for NBC News, CNN and PBS. They discuss the origins and development of artificial intelligence (AI), focusing on its capabilities and limitations. Jacob explains that AI's power lies in its pattern recognition but emphasizes that it does not truly understand the data it processes. He delves into the societal implications of AI, including job displacement, lack of regulation, and potential psychological impacts. Despite these risks, Ward highlights positive uses of AI in fields like healthcare and astronomy. Finally, he discusses the pressing need for regulatory measures to mitigate the adverse effects of AI and advocates for a balanced approach to AI utilization.

Truman Everts, a 54-year-old bureaucrat, joined the 1870 Washburn Expedition to explore Yellowstone. After becoming separated from the group, he lost his horse, food, gun, and blankets. Alone for 37 days, he endured brutal storms, frostbite, a scalded hip, and even a mountain lion.
