HEADLINE: State of the Economy and Public Mood in Wartime Russia GUEST NAME: Anatol Lieven SUMMARY:John Batchelor speaks with Anatol Lieven reporting from Russia that life in Moscow and St. Petersburg continues normally, without a sense of war dread. However, serious economic contraction is feared next year, particularly if the West imposes a maritime blockade. Putin prioritizes keeping inflation down to avoid public unpopularity, accepting high interest rates despite damaging business.

PREVIEW: Escalation: Tomahawk Missile Transfer Puts Moscow in Range Guest: Colonel Jeff McCausland Colonel Jeff McCausland addresses the potential transfer of 1,600-kilometer range Tomahawk missiles to Europe, which would allow Ukraine to target Moscow and significant Russian infrastructure. This capability is an enormous boost, especially since current strikes have already disrupted Russian oil refinery capacity. Putin has already threatened retaliation against the US and allies. 1890   ST, PETERSBURG

At his trial, Raskolnikov confessed to everything, establishing his guilt by explaining why Lizaveta was murdered and identifying the location of the stolen items. The examining magistrates and judges had difficulty in believing that Raskolnikov didn't know how much money was stolen, but the psychologists at the trial explained his ignorance as a symptom of his temporary insanity. The testimony of his friends, especially Razumikhin's and that of his landlady's helped Raskolnikov secure a lighter sentence. Porfiry Petrovich also kept his promise. 5 months after Raskolnikov's trial, he was sentenced to 8 years hard labour in Siberia. Sonya went with him while Dunya, Razumikhim, and Pulcheria Alexandrovna stays in St. Petersburg. Before leaving St. Petersburg, Raskolnikov realised that his mother was soon going to pass away. Two months later, Razumikhin and Dunya married. They attempted to keep the truth about Raskolnikov hidden from his mother, but she eventually became delirious and revealed her knowledge her her son's fate just before she died. Sonya serves as a link between the family and St. Petersburg and Raskolnikov in prison. She also lightens Raskolnikov's burden in the prison by befriending the authorities. Raskolnikov falls ill and spends some time in the hospital.

rWotD Episode 3072: Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Wednesday, 1 October 2025, is Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad.The Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad was built between Norfolk and Petersburg, Virginia and was completed by 1858. The line was 85 miles (137 km) of 5 ft (1,524 mm) track gauge.It played a role on the American Civil War (1861–1865), and became part of the Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio Railroad (AM&O) in 1870. The AM&O became the Norfolk and Western (N&W) in 1881. About 100 years later, the Norfolk and Western was combined with the Southern Railway, another profitable carrier, to form the Norfolk Southern Railway in 1982.In the 21st century, almost all of the original well-engineered N&P, including the corduroy roadbed through the Great Dismal Swamp and 52-mile tangent alignment is still in service. It forms part of a major coal export route terminating at Lambert's Point near Hampton Roads. In addition to coal, most of the route is in active use in the 20th century for intermodal container and automobile parts and completed vehicle shipments.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:09 UTC on Wednesday, 1 October 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Ivy.

Jim McTague uses restaurant metrics as recession indicators. A waitress reports customers "disappeared" in East Petersburg, and a popular 16-chain brewery declared sudden bankruptcy. 1945

1/4: This file introduces the early lives of George Gamow and Fred Hoyle. George Gamow (Georgy Antonovich Gamow) was born in Odessa in March 1904. His father, Anton Gamow, taught Lev Bronstein (later Leon Trotsky). Gamow attended Petrograd University (now St. Petersburg), studying under Alexander Friedmann, who developed solutions to Einstein's general relativity describing universal expansion. After Friedmann's death in 1925, Gamow switched to quantum and nuclear physics, discovering alpha particle decay and quantum tunneling. He went to Niels Bohr's Institute in Copenhagen. Disliking communist intrusion into science, he attempted escaping the Soviet Union via rubber kayak across the Black Sea to Turkey, but storms forced them back. Niels Bohr arranged their escape via the 1933 Solvay conference, eventually reaching George Washington University. Fred Hoyle was born in 1915 in West Yorkshire; his mother played classical music for silent films, and Hoyle learned reading from film subtitles.

//The Wire//2300Z September 22, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY BEGINS IN NEW YORK. WHITE HOUSE "CLARIFIES" H-1B POLICY BY CHANGING MUCH OF WHAT WAS ANNOUNCED. VIOLENT ATTACKS CONTINUE AROUND UNITED STATES. PRESIDENT TRUMP DESIGNATES ANTIFA AS DOMESTIC TERRORIST ORGANIZATION.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Europe: Copenhagen Airport remains shut down as multiple drones continue to interfere with flight operations. The airport initially issued a temporary ground stop for all arrivals/departures, which as of this report has been extended until 5:00 a.m. local time. Separately, a military base in Oslo, Norway was placed on a heightened state of readiness due to drone reports as well, which resulted in the arrest of two Singaporean nationals who were operating a civilian drone over the military base.-HomeFront-New York: This week, the United Nations General Assembly has begun, with most of the noteworthy actions so far being the recognition of Palestinian statehood from a few nations. Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, and a handful of others have been the biggest power-players to add to the list of nations which have recognized the legitimacy of the Palestinian government.Analyst Comment: As with most diplomatic endeavors in the region, this move will probably result in very little impact overall. Most of these recent recognitions are probably last-ditch political moves to urge a two-state solution at the eleventh hour. Nevertheless, these statements will probably draw the ire of the United States to some degree, which is still negotiating trade deals with some of these nations.Washington D.C. - Over the weekend the White House backtracked on the recent changes to the H-1B visa system. Despite Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick stating in the Oval Office on the day of the announcement that the $100,000 fee for visas was per employee per year, the White House issued a "fact sheet" that reversed these statements, and that this is a one-time payment for companies seeking to hire non-American workers.Also in Washington, President Trump signed the Executive Action this afternoon designating ANTIFA as a Domestic Terrorist Organization.Analyst Comment: And now we wait. The verbiage of the order itself is not entirely indicative of how various federal agencies will respond to this, or what the outcome will be. Ordering agencies to police crimes that are already illegal isn't much help, but moving forward the most obvious theory is that federal terrorism charges might get slapped on any ANTIFA "Direct Action" attacks which are fairly standard in most major cities during periods of heightened tension. Only time will tell if various federal agencies are serious, though.Mississippi: On Saturday a hit-and-run accident was reported in Gulfport, which resulted in the death of a cyclist. Xavier Omar Rigby was arrested after hitting the victim with his vehicle, and driving approximately 8 blocks with her body on the hood of his car. Rigby fled the scene without calling 911, and was later arrested in St. Petersburg.California: The gunman which attacked an ABC broadcast station in Sacramento was detained over the weekend. Federal authorities state that Anibal Hernandez-Santana (an attorney, activist, and political lobbyist) conducted a drive-by shooting at the ABC Channel 10 television station in Sacramento.Analyst Comment: The motive for this shooting has not yet been released, but the shooter's posts on social media indicate the motivations for this attack. Even his own attorney has stated that the primary method of prosecuting him (besides the bullet holes in the ABC station) will be the radical posts that his client made on social media.New Hampshire: A mass shooting was reported over the weekend in Nashua, as a gunman targeted a wedding ceremony at the Sky Meadow

Send us a textIn the previous episode, we walked with Walt Whitman down the open roads of America, hearing the chorus of ordinary lives. Now we cross continents and step into the narrow corridors of the human soul with Fedor Dostoevsky—where freedom and conscience wrestle in shadows. Whitman's poetry celebrated the sweep of America, the chorus of countless lives, and the boundless possibilities of freedom. Across the ocean and slightly later in time, Dostoevsky turned his gaze inward, exploring the shadowed recesses of the human heart. Whereas Whitman's lines embraced the world, Dostoevsky's narratives probe the tensions, doubts, and moral struggles that define our inner lives. In moving from Whitman to Dostoevsky, we travel from the expansive optimism of a young nation to the intense psychological and ethical landscapes of nineteenth-century Russia—a shift that reminds us just how varied, yet universally human, the work of great writers can be.Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821–1881) is one of the towering figures of 19th-century literature and is often credited with deeply influencing modern psychological fiction. Born in Moscow into a middle-class family, he faced hardship early: his mother died when he was young, and his father was reportedly a strict and harsh figure. Dostoyevsky originally trained as an engineer, but his passion for literature led him to the literary scene in St. Petersburg.His life was marked by intense personal struggle. He was arrested in 1849 for involvement in a group promoting liberal ideas and was sentenced to death— On December 22, 1849, Fyodor Dostoyevsky stood on a frozen parade ground in St. Petersburg. He and his fellow prisoners were blindfolded, tied to stakes, and told they had only moments left to live. The firing squad raise  d their rifles. - the prisoners realized they only had a few seconds to live …And then—at the very last instant—the sentence was commuted. Death was postponed and his sentence was commuted at the last moment to imprisonment in a Siberian labor camp.  Life returned, with an almost unbearable intensity.Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for September 21, 2025 is: lugubrious • loo-GOO-bree-us • adjective Lugubrious is a formal word used chiefly to describe something that is very sad especially in an exaggerated or insincere way. The word can also describe something that shows or expresses gloom. // The movie's stunning cinematography could not make up for the lugubrious and plodding plot. // The lugubrious mood of the room shifted when the voices of children playing erupted outside the window. See the entry > Examples: “On opening night, the audience at St. Petersburg's Alexandrinsky Theatre were mystified by The Seagull's neither wholly comic nor wholly tragic tone, hissing and heckling throughout, with Chekhov fleeing from the gallery after the second act. It was only two years later, when Konstantin Stanislavski staged a more lugubrious take on The Seagull at Moscow Art Theatre, that it came to be recognized as a work of pure genius.” — Hayley Maitland, Vogue, 12 Feb. 2025 Did you know? Everybody hurts, as the classic R.E.M. song goes, and when your day is long and the night is yours alone, lugubrious is a perfect word for describing such sorrowful feelings, or that which inspires them (a lugubrious song, perhaps). That said, if lugubrious strikes you as a tad unusual, no, no, no, you're not alone. Lugubrious is the sole surviving English offspring of the Latin verb lugēre, meaning “to mourn.” Its closest kin, luctual, an adjective meaning “sad” or “sorrowful,” was laid to rest centuries ago.

Today, I want to shine a light on a fascinating, little-known peptide called Pancragen.  And if you want to support what we do, head over to our Partners Page. You'll find some amazing brands we trust—and by checking them out, you're helping us keep the podcast going. https://pepties.com/partners/ Now, if you've been following the world of anti-aging and metabolic optimization, you probably know about GLP-1 medications, metformin, and other mainstream therapies—but Pancragen is something a bit different. It's a tiny peptide with a big mission. That is rejuvenating your pancreas and restoring metabolic function. And trust me, the science behind it is pretty remarkable. What is Pancragen? So here's the story—Pancragen was developed by a team of Russian researchers led by Professor Vladimir Khavinson in St. Petersburg. These are the same minds behind legendary peptides like Epitalon and Thymalin. What they discovered was pretty fascinating. In the bovine pancreas, they found a tiny tetrapeptide—just four amino acids—that acts like a molecular switch for keeping your pancreas youthful. The full sequence is Lysine, Glutamic acid, Aspartic acid, and Tryptophan. Now, in biochemistry, we usually shorten these with a one-letter code, so Lysine becomes K, Glutamic acid is E, Aspartic acid is D, and Tryptophan is W—which is why this peptide is known as KEDW. Pancragen was created to mimic that exact peptide.  And over decades of studies in both animals and humans, the results have been honestly amazing. How Pancragen Works Here's where it gets really exciting. Unlike most medicaitons that act broadly and non-specifically in the body, Pancragen is precise. When you inject it under the skin, it travels through your bloodstream straight to the pancreas. And get this—it can even enter the nucleus of pancreatic cells and interact with the DNA that controls key genes for insulin and enzyme production, like Pdx1, Ptf1a, and Pax6. Pdx1 is essential for insulin production, Ptf1a helps pancreatic cells make digestive enzymes, and Pax6 keeps the insulin-producing cells functioning properly.  Basically, Pancragen flips these genes back on, helping pancreatic cells survive, grow, and work efficiently. The result? Better insulin regulation, improved enzyme production, and a pancreas that behaves years younger—think of it like updating your pancreas's software to the latest version. What the Studies Show Let's talk numbers.  In aging patients with type 2 diabetes, Pancragen reduced fasting blood glucose by 20–25% and improved post-meal glucose even more. Even better, patients needed up to 35% less insulin for the same level of glucose control—meaning their cells became more sensitive to insulin rather than being forced to overwork. In primate studies, old monkeys treated with Pancragen actually outperformed those on glimepiride, a standard diabetes medication. Pancragen restored normal insulin and C-peptide rhythms without forcing the pancreas into burnout—and these effects lasted for weeks after treatment ended. And here's a bonus: Pancragen also normalizes melatonin secretion, which helps improve sleep, circadian rhythm, and overall metabolic health. So it's not just about blood sugar—it's a full-spectrum metabolic reset. Safety and Benefits Pancragen has been on the market in Eastern Europe for over a decade with no reported toxicity or adverse interactions. It simply breaks down into regular amino acids when its job is done. Users report: More stable blood sugar and fewer hypoglycemic events Reduced insulin requirements Better digestion and enzyme function Increased energy and fewer “hangry” moments A general feeling of metabolic youthfulness/health And because it works at the gene-expression level, these benefits can last for weeks or months after a cycle of Pancragen. Who Should Consider Pancragen? So, who is Pancragen for? People with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes: Pancragen helps restore normal pancreatic function, improving insulin production and glucose control instead of just masking symptoms. Those with chronic pancreatitis or enzyme insufficiency: By supporting pancreatic cells and enzyme production, it can help the pancreas work more efficiently, which may ease digestive issues. Older adults looking for metabolic anti-aging support: Pancragen can rejuvenate pancreatic function, improve insulin sensitivity, and support overall metabolic health—essentially helping the body act younger. Athletes or high-performers wanting optimal metabolic efficiency: Better pancreatic function means more precise insulin and enzyme regulation, supporting energy, recovery, and performance. People looking to prevent a plateau from GLP-1 therapy: Over time, some GLP-1 users hit a point where their progress stalls. Pancragen may help “reset” the pancreas so therapy stays effective. But keep in mind, if you're just after a quick appetite suppressant, Pancragen isn't for you. But if your goal is true pancreatic rejuvenation and long-term metabolic health, it can help. How to Use Pancragen The typical approach is to take 2 mg of Pancragen per day—either under the skin or into the muscle—for about 30 to 60 days (1 cycle). Most people repeat this course two to three times a year to keep the pancreas functioning at its best.  Which brings me to a good point.  If you stop taking Pancragen, nothing dangerous happens—it's not like suddenly quitting a medication. What you'll likely notice is that your pancreas gradually returns to its baseline function over time. The improvements in insulin regulation, enzyme production, and overall metabolic efficiency may slowly taper off, which is why most people do repeat courses a couple of times per year to keep those benefits going. Think of it like hitting “pause” on a fitness program—your gains won't vanish overnight, but staying consistent helps maintain them. You also don't need any complicated stacks to see results, though Pancragen can work well alongside GLP-1s and other anti-inflammatory peptides like BPC-157 or thymosin beta-4, if you're already using them.

Episode 543 - Todd Bearden, Green Turtle Brewery Happy Monday, Thieves! Back at the Hotel Karol lobby bar this week - although it feels more like a business center. Amid all the insurance brokers in town for a conference Augie and John sit down with Todd Bearden, the owner of Green Turtle. It recently opened, having taken over the former Cycle Brewing Spot in St. Pete. Todd Bearden earned his BFA in Lighting Design and began his career bringing stories to life on and off Broadway before transitioning into the world of film and television. About 15 years ago, while living in Florida, he discovered a new creative outlet—homebrewing. Over the years, he honed his craft, winning awards in competitions, serving as a judge at numerous homebrew events, and absorbing wisdom from The Brewing Network, where mentors Jamil Zainasheff and the late Mike “Tasty” McDole helped shape his brewing philosophy.After years in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, Todd decided it was time to return to Florida and pursue a long-held dream. Two years of planning and passion culminated in the opening of Green Turtle Brewery & Public House in downtown St. Petersburg. Opened just a month ago, the brewery specializes in traditional cask ales served on beer engines alongside a range of classic beer styles—bringing together Todd's dedication to craft, tradition, and community in a warm, English pub-inspired setting.Thanks to Visit St. Pete-Clearwater for hosting us in the area and the Hotel Karol for lodging and excellent breakfast potatoes. ***As always, you can email your questions, complaints, whimpers, or whines to us at stealthisbeerpodcast@gmail.com.

Send us a textIn this special series of Classroom Caffeine in collaboration with the Stories-To-Live-By Collective, we highlight this group of K–12 teachers from across the state of Florida and former teachers now in higher education who are working together to sensemake and take action. We talk with educators and researchers who are working together to explore how literacy teaching can respond to the climate crisis. Since 2021, they have gathered in person and online to write, make art, share stories, and reflect on how climate change is shaping our classrooms and communities. Supported by grants and partnerships, they hold regular workshops a nd virtual meetings, creating space for teachers to learn from one another while navigating challenges like book bans, censorship laws, and the realities of living through major hurricanes.Through this work, the group is studying how teachers use stories, place-based activities, and multimodal composing to bring climate change into English Language Arts classrooms. Their collaborative research asks: How do teachers tell stories about climate change? How do they navigate the political, social, and environmental pressures of their schools? And how can they build new literacies that prepare young people for more just and livable futures?In each episode of this special series, we talk with a collaborator in the Stories-To-Live-By Collective about their experiences, connections, and learning through this work together.Dr. Alexandra Panos grew up in St. Louis, Missouri and taught middle school in Chicago before doing her PhD in rural Indiana. Her parents and sisters moved to Florida 25 years ago so this has been a second home for quite awhile, although she only just moved her in 2019. It was her experience of learning to be an engaged Floridian, socially, politically, and environmentally, that led her to convene work related to the intersections of her passions: literacy, teacher power, and education for the climate crisis. She lives in St. Petersburg with her partner, two rescue dogs, and Drusilla, the cat, who demanded to live with them in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton.Alex is an Associate Professor of Literacy Studies and Affiliate Faculty in Measurement and Research at the University of South Florida.

In this episode, Devin and his wife Sarah sit down with cousin Taylor Kartchner and his wife, Wendy (“Saint Wendy”), to explore a life full of faith, family, and unforgettable stories. Taylor, the third of nine children, shares memories ranging from winning an “ugliest driver's license” contest to serving a mission in St. Petersburg, Russia, climbing the pyramids of Egypt, and even saving his sister Kelly from a dangerous fall while mountain climbing. We also hear about his entrepreneurial journey running a window-washing business and his unexpected love for speed golf, which once took him all the way to Europe to represent the United States.Taylor and Wendy also open up about the love story that began in a Boise State ballroom dance class, a playful Red Riding Hood–style proposal, and the family life they've built with their five children. From ukulele bedtime routines to their deeply held belief in trusting Christ's plan, Taylor and Wendy offer heartfelt advice to future generations: no matter what happens, the Savior already knew and He is okay with it.Finally, Taylor shares his passion for speed golf, a sport he often plays early in the morning to stay in shape and fit in a full round in just about an hour. He describes what it was like to represent the U.S. in a European tournament while traveling with his family, and answers questions about how speed golf differs from traditional golf. It's a look into both the discipline and the joy of a game that combines endurance with precision — and why it's become one of his favorite pursuits.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/my-99-cousins/donations

Some houses never let go of the energy left behind when a life is cut short. When a listener was just ten years old, their mother moved the family yet again—this time into what looked like the perfect home in a “nicer” neighborhood of Petersburg, Ontario. At first, it seemed like a fresh start. But very quickly, shadows, sounds, and an overwhelming sense of unease made it clear this house had secrets of its own. The basement was finished, open, and bright—yet no one would go down there willingly. Even their fearless mother avoided it except when forced to do laundry. One day, the children saw an opaque white shadow walk directly in front of the fireplace and vanish. Even stranger, the old barn-style laundry room door—heavy and dragging on the carpet—was seen closing by itself, a physical impossibility without human force. Upstairs, footsteps echoed down the hallway from empty rooms, often during after-school homework sessions. The listener would hold their breath, sure an intruder was coming, only to find nothing. Then came the night that has haunted them for twenty-five years. While taking a bath alone, they heard the deafening crash of what sounded like a large man collapsing onto the hardwood floor in their mother's bedroom. Frozen in fear, they locked both bathroom doors and waited until their mother came home. She dismissed it as “something falling,” but the child knew better. Years later, the truth came out: a tenant had died in that very bedroom, collapsing from a fatal heart attack before the family moved in. The “death house” had been offered at a bargain price. Looking back, the listener believes the sound they heard was a terrifying playback of that man's final moments, echoing through the walls of the home. Some hauntings linger not to scare—but to replay a death that the house itself cannot forget. #RealGhostStories #DeathHouse #OntarioHaunting #BasementShadows #FootstepsInTheHall #BathTimeTerror #SpiritEchoes #HauntedHome #ParanormalExperiences #GhostPodcast Love real ghost stories?

Our analysts Adam Jonas and Alex Straton discuss how tech-savvy young professionals are influencing retail, brand loyalty, mobility trends, and the broader technology landscape through their evolving consumer choices. Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Adam Jonas: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Adam Jonas, Morgan Stanley's Embodied AI and Humanoid Robotics Analyst. Alex Straton: And I'm Alex Straton, Morgan Stanley's U.S. Softlines Retail and Brands Analyst. Adam Jonas: Today we're unpacking our annual summer intern survey, a snapshot of how emerging professionals view fashion retail, brands, and mobility – amid all the AI advances.It is Tuesday, August 26th at 9am in New York.They may not manage billions of dollars yet, but Morgan Stanley's summer interns certainly shape sentiment on the street, including Wall Street. From sock heights to sneaker trends, Gen Z has thoughts. So, for the seventh year, we ran a survey of our summer interns in the U.S. and Europe. The survey involved more than 500 interns based in the U.S., and about 150 based in Europe. So, Alex, let's start with what these interns think about fashion and athletic footwear. What was your biggest takeaway from the intern survey? Alex Straton: So, across the three categories we track in the survey – that's apparel, athletic footwear, and handbags – there was one clear theme, and that's market fragmentation. So, for each category specifically, we observed share of the top three to five brands falling over time. And what that means is these once dominant brands, as consumer mind share is falling – and it likely makes them lower growth margin and multiple businesses over time. At the same time, you have smaller brands being able to captivate consumer attention more effectively, and they have staying power in a way that they haven't necessarily historically. I think one other piece I would just add; the rise of e-commerce and social media against a low barrier to entry space like apparel and footwear means it's easier to build a brand than it has been in the past. And the intern survey shows us this likely continues as this generation is increasingly inclined to shop online. Their social media usage is heavy, and they heavily rely on AI to inform, you know, their purchases.So, the big takeaway for me here isn't that the big are getting bigger in my space. It's actually that the big are probably getting smaller as new players have easier avenues to exist. Adam Jonas: Net apparel spending intentions rose versus the last survey, despite some concern around deteriorating demand for this category into the back half. What do you make of that result? Alex Straton: I think there were a bit conflicting takes from the survey when I look at all the answers together. So yes, apparel spending intentions are higher year-over-year, but at the same time, clothing and footwear also ranked as the second most category that interns would pull back on should prices go up. So let me break this down. On the higher spending intentions, I think timing played a huge role and a huge factor in the results. So, we ran this in July when spending in our space clearly accelerated. That to me was a function of better weather, pent up demand from earlier in the quarter, a potential tariff pull forward as headlines were intensifying, and then also typical back to school spending. So, in short, I think intention data is always very heavily tethered to the moment that it's collected and think that these factors mean, you know, it would've been better no matter what we've seen it in our space. I think on the second piece, which is interns pulling back spend should prices go up. That to me speaks to the high elasticity in this category, some of the highest in all of consumer discretionary. And that's one of the few drivers informing our cautious demand view on this space as we head into the back half. So, in summary on that piece, we think prices going higher will become more apparent this month onwards, which in tandem with high inventory and a competitive setup means sales could falter in the group. So, we still maintain this cautious demand view as we head into the back half, though our interns were pretty rosy in the survey. Adam Jonas: Interesting. So, interns continue to invest in tech ecosystems with more than 90 percent owning multiple devices. What does this interconnectedness mean for companies in your space? Alex Straton: This somewhat connects to the fragmentation theme I mentioned where I think digital shopping has somewhat functioned as a great equalizer in the space and big picture. I interpret device reliance as a leading indicator that this market diversification likely continues as brands fight to capture mobile mind share. The second read I'd have on this development is that it means brands must evolve to have an omnichannel presence. So that's both in store and online, and preferably one that's experiential focus such that this generation can create content around it. That's really the holy grail. And then maybe lastly, the third takeaway on this is that it's going to come at a cost. You, you can't keep eyeballs without spend. And historical brick and mortar retailers spend maybe 5 to 10 percent of sales on marketing, with digital requiring more than physical. So now I think what's interesting is that brands in my space with momentum seem to have to spend more than 10 percent of sales on marketing just to maintain popularity. So that's a cost pressure. We're not sure where these businesses will necessarily recoup if all of them end up getting the joke and continuing to invest just to drive mind share. Adam, turning to a topic that's been very hot this year in your area of expertise. That's humanoid robots. Interns were optimistic here with more than 60 percent believing they'll have many viable use cases and about the same number thinking they'll replace many human jobs. Yet fewer expect wide scale adoption within five years. What do you think explains this cautious enthusiasm? Adam Jonas: Well actually Alex, I think it's pretty smart. There is room to be optimistic. But there's definitely room to be cautious in terms of the scale of adoption, particularly over five years. And we're talking about humanoid robots. We're talking about a new species that's being created, right? This is bigger than just – will it replace our job? I mean, I don't think it's an exaggeration to ask what does this do to the concept of being human? You know, how does this affect our children and future generations? This is major generational planetary technology that I think is very much comparable to electricity, the internet. Some people say the wheel, fire, I don't know. We're going to see it happen and start to propagate over the next few years, where even if we don't have widespread adoption in terms of dealing with it on average hour of a day or an average day throughout the planet, you're going to see the technology go from zero to one as these machines learn by watching human behavior. Going from teleoperated instruction to then fully autonomous instruction, as the simulation stack and the compute gets more and more advanced. We're now seeing some industry leaders say that robots are able to learn by watching videos. And so, this is all happening right now, and it's happening at the pace of geopolitical rivalry, Sino-U.S. rivalry and terra cap, you know, big, big corporate competitive rivalry as well, for capital in the human brain. So, we are entering an unprecedented – maybe precedented in the last century – perhaps unprecedented era of technological and scientific discovery that I think you got to go back to the European and American Enlightenment or the Italian Renaissance to have any real comparisons to what we're about to see. Alex Straton: So, keeping with this same theme, interns showed strong interest in household robots with 61 percent expressing some interest and 24 percent saying they're very or extremely interested. I'm going to take you back to your prior coverage here, Adam. Could this translate into demand for AI driven mobility or smart infrastructure? Adam Jonas: Well, Alex, you were part of my prior coverage once upon a time. We were blessed with having you on our team for a year, and then you left me… Alex Straton: My golden era. Adam Jonas: But you came back, you came back. And you've done pretty well. So, so look, imagine it's 1903, the Wright Brothers just achieved first flight over the sands at Kitty Hawk. And then I were to tell you, ‘Oh yeah, in a few years we're going to have these planes used in World War I. And then in 1914, we'd have the first airline going between Tampa and St. Petersburg.' You'd say, ‘You're crazy,' right? The beauty of the intern survey is it gives the Morgan Stanley research department and our clients an opportunity to engage that surface area with that arising – not just the business leader – but that arising tech adopter. These are the people, these are the men and women that are going to kind of really adopt this much, much faster. And then, you know, our generation will get dragged into it eventually. So, I think it says; I think 61 percent expressing even some interest. And then 24 [percent], I guess, you know… The vast majority, three quarters saying, ‘Yeah, this is happening.' That's a sign I think, to our clients and capital market providers and regulators to say, ‘This won't be stopped. And if we don't do it, someone else will.' Alex Straton: So, another topic, Generative AI. It should come as no surprise really, that 95 percent of interns use that tool monthly, far ahead of the general population. How do you see this shaping future expectations for mobility and automation? Adam Jonas: So, this is what's interesting is people have asked kinda, ‘What's that Gen AI moment,' if you will, for mobility? Well, it really is Gen AI. Large Language Models and the technologies that develop the Large Language Models and that recursive learning, don't just affect the knowledge economy, right. Or writing or research report generation or intelligence search. It actually also turns video clips and physical information into tokens that can then create and take what would be a normal suburban city street and beautiful weather with smiling faces or whatever, and turn it into a chaotic scene of, you know, traffic and weather and all sorts of infrastructure issues and potholes. And that can be done in this digital twin, in an omniverse. A CEO recently told me when you drive a car with advanced, you know, Level 2+ autonomy, like full self-driving, you're not just driving in three-dimensional space. You're also playing a video game training a robot in a digital avatar. So again, I think that there is quite a lot of overlap between Gen AI and the fact that our interns are so much further down that curve of adoption than the broader public – is probably a hint to us is we got to keep listening to them, when we move into the physical realm of AI too. Alex Straton: So, no more driving tests for the 16-year-olds of the future... Adam Jonas: If you want to. Like, I tell my kids, if you want to drive, that's cool. Manual transmission, Italian sports cars, that's great. People still ride horses too. But it's just for the privileged few that can kind of keep these things in stables. Alex Straton: So, let me turn this into implications for companies here. Gen Z is tech fluent, open to disruption? How should autos and shared mobility providers rethink their engagement strategies with this generation? Adam Jonas: Well, that's a huge question. And think of the irony here. As we bring in this world of fake humans and humanoid robots, the scarcest resource is the human brain, right? So, this battle for the human mind is – it's incredible. And we haven't seen this really since like the Sputnik era or real height of the Cold War. We're seeing it now play out and our clients can read about some of these signing bonuses for these top AI and robotics talent being paid by many companies. It kind of makes, you know, your eyes water, even if you're used to the world of sports and soccer, . I think we're going to keep seeing more of that for the next few years because we need more brains, we need more stem. I think it's going to do; it has the potential to do a lot for our education system in the United States and in the West broadly. Alex Straton: So, we've covered a lot around what the next generation is interested in and, and their opinion. I know we do this every year, so it'll be exciting to see how this evolves over time. And how they adapt. It's been great speaking with you today, Adam. Adam Jonas: Absolutely. Alex, thanks for your insights. And to our listeners, stay curious, stay disruptive, and we'll catch you next time.

In St. Louis, former Rays executive Chaim Bloom is positioned to take over as president of baseball operations in the coming month, and Topkin offers insight about the role Bloom had with the Rays, where to find his fingerprints on player development, and why he just might have the best resume possible to lead the Cardinals' front office. In Tampa Bay, the Rays are paying rent at the Yankees' spring training ballpark, George Steinbrenner Field, due to hurricana damage at Tropicana Park. The Rays feel like they're perpetually on the precipice teetertottering between having strong established roots in Tampa Bay or packing up and going to another city. New ownership may change that -- but they'll need a ballpark. They appear to have a fan base, one that owes some of its interest in baseball to the Cardinals and all the decades they spent calling St. Petersburg, Florida, home for spring training. The Best Podcast in Baseball, sponsored weekly by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is its 13th season. BPIB is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and Derrick Goold.
