C'est parti pour un petit “Vrai ou Faux” de Pirates des Caraïbes !Bonne écoute !

Why do we romanticize pirates while condemning nearly everything they actually did?In this Talk Like a Pirate Day episode of Talk of the Tavern, Travis, Andrea, and Ed explore the strange cultural divide between lovable fictional pirates and real-world piracy.From eyepatches, treasure maps, and rum-soaked adventures to stolen music, copied movies, software theft, modern attacks at sea, and human trafficking, the crew examines which forms of piracy society excuses, which ones it condemns, and why the definition often changes when convenience or entertainment enters the conversation.Because everyone wants to be a pirate until somebody steals their ship, their paycheck, or the book they spent two years writing.So grab a drink, raise the colors, and join us for a conversation about theft, ownership, exploitation, rebellion, and why Captain Jack Sparrow gets better public relations than most criminals.________________________________________What's on Tap?

Yacht rock piracy meets options strategy on this episode of Options Boot Camp. Mark Longo and Dan Passarelli break down Dan's "net zero roll" for cash-secured puts, including how traders can roll down and out while targeting little or no net premium on the adjustment. They also tackle a fresh batch of listener questions covering how implied volatility can help determine whether to buy calls, sell puts or use call spreads; how much open interest and volume really matter when selecting a strike; what steep put skew can reveal when VIX isn't moving; and whether traders put too much emphasis on dealer gamma positioning. Plus, the Boot Camp crew digs into pin risk in the era of daily and short-dated expirations, looks at which options strategies might deserve the full book treatment, checks in on the latest 0DTE butterfly poll results and, naturally, investigates Dan's alleged yacht rock piracy on the Chicago River.

Seth Tsui has written music heard by hundreds of millions of people — League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics at Riot Games, fifteen films across Vietnam and China, and sample libraries like Jade Ethnic Orchestra and Arabian Ethnic Orchestra. Earlier this year he left, because the job on offer was management and the job he wanted was writing music. We cover the whole arc: the trombone kid who walked away from the orchestral audition track, the all-nighter that got him hired at Remote Control Productions, why he's building his own sampler at Nomad Sounds, how piracy reshaped what libraries he could afford to make, and the jazz improvisation game about birds of paradise he's making entirely alone.

This episode of the Lloyd's List podcast is brought to you by Veson. To find out more visit www.veson.com FIFTEEN years ago, Somali piracy was one of the biggest stories in mainstream news, not just shipping. That may be hard to fathom today, with threats stretching from the Gulf and Red Sea to the Black Sea, which has become one of the most dangerous places in the world for seafarers in recent weeks. Yet between 2010 and 2012, Somali pirates hijacked almost 100 vessels, according to the International Maritime Bureau. By 2013, that number had fallen to zero and remained there through 2016. In fact, just two major commercial vessels were hijacked between 2013 and 2023. What was once the biggest risk to commercial shipping was successfully repelled through international cooperation, but in recent months there is evidence to suggest that Somali piracy is once again on the rise. Six commercial vessels have been hijacked since the start of 2026, including sanctioned Sibu 1 which was hijacked in late August. Rather chillingly, the crew changed its location on its automatic identification system to “pirates onboard help”. The increase in attacks is concerning, but suspicious approaches and occasional hijackings have occurred periodically over the past few years. Many were viewed as isolated incidents, often attributed to a single pirate group acquiring a mothership and exploiting an opportunity. Is this a proper resurgence? Is Somali piracy really back? Joining Joshua on the podcast this week are: Vice Admiral Ignacio Villanueva Serrano, Eunavfor Operation Atalanta Jakob Larsen, chief safety and security officer, Bimco

On peut le dire, certains pirates ont marqué l'Histoire, ou en tout cas ils nous ont laissé une trace qui, quand on regarde la mer, ressurgit soudain dans notre imaginaire. Des pirates comme, par exemple, Barbe Noire, ou Jack Rackam. Mais si j'adore leur histoire, j'ai envie de changer un peu et de vous parler de pirates que vous connaissez sans doute moins bien. Et j'en ai des histoires de pirates violents, rusés, des as qui planqueront bien au chaud leur trésor et certains qu'on qualifiera même d'ennemi de l'humanité. Et pour ça, j'ai envie de lancer un petit cocorico, de ne pas hisser le pavillon noir, mais le drapeau bleu-blanc-rouge : c'est parti pour un petit top des pirates français !Bonne écoute !

The vibe at every table was incredible—full of camaraderie, excitement, and a shared love for a truly outstanding trading card game. No matter your skill level, players were patient, welcoming, and happy to walk you through plays in the side events. Now, the main event, that was all business. One more thing worth noting: the crowd spanned all ages, including families, which was great to see. Next year's event is heading to Disneyland, so if you're thinking about going, start planning now! While we were in Vegas, we also tried a new game from Fort Circle Games: Hunt for Blackbeard. It's a two‑player hidden‑movement game that really picks up speed once you understand the action flow, and the tension spikes beautifully in the final two rounds. The rules take a bit to settle in, but by the second playthrough we had it down. And if Blackbeard's history isn't familiar to you, keep reading below. Blackbeard, born Edward Teach around 1680 in Bristol, England, became one of the most feared and legendary pirates of the Golden Age of Piracy, terrorizing the Caribbean and the Atlantic coast between 1716 and 1718. Known for his dramatic appearance—most famously his long black beard and the smoldering fuses he tied into it to intimidate enemies—he commanded the formidable Queen Anne's Revenge, a 40‑gun warship crewed by hundreds of men. Blackbeard's exploits included blockading Charleston, capturing merchant vessels, and cultivating a fearsome reputation that often allowed him to win without violence. He also operated with a small fleet that included the Adventure, a sloop commanded by his lieutenant Israel Hands, as well as smaller vessels such as the Margaret and the Sea Captain. His pirating career was short-lived, ending in November 1718 when he was killed in a fierce battle at Ocracoke Island, NC by Lieutenant Robert Maynard's forces, cementing his place as one of history's most iconic pirates.

This Day in Legal History: The Dodd-Frank ActOn July 21, 2010, President Barack Obama signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the most sweeping overhaul of American financial regulation since the New Deal. It was a direct response to the 2008 financial crisis—the collapse that wiped out trillions in household wealth, toppled storied institutions like Lehman Brothers, and required massive taxpayer bailouts to keep the banking system from failing entirely.Dodd-Frank tried to attack the crisis's root causes on several fronts at once. It created the Financial Stability Oversight Council to watch for systemic risks—the danger that one firm's failure could cascade through the whole economy—and gave regulators new “resolution authority” to wind down failing giants in an orderly way, an attempt to end the problem of banks being “too big to fail.” It imposed the Volcker Rule, restricting banks from making certain speculative bets with depositors' money. It brought the shadowy derivatives market under federal oversight. And, in its most visible legacy, it created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau—a new agency dedicated to policing mortgages, credit cards, and other consumer financial products, born largely from an idea championed by then-professor Elizabeth Warren.Dodd-Frank has been contested ever since—fought over in rulemaking, trimmed by later legislation, and litigated all the way to the Supreme Court, including a major case over the constitutionality of the CFPB's structure. But its core significance endures: it represents the country's considered legal judgment that concentrated financial power, left unchecked, poses a systemic danger, and that the answer is robust administrative regulation. It's a fitting anniversary to sit alongside today's news, because so much of what we cover comes back to the same enduring question—how the law should restrain private economic power without strangling the enterprise that power creates.A federal judge has temporarily paused Paramount Skydance's roughly $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, siding for now with a coalition of twelve state attorneys general who sued to stop it. U.S. District Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín issued a fourteen-day temporary restraining order, finding the deal “likely” violates antitrust law. Here's the framework. Antitrust law exists to preserve competition, and one of its central tools is blocking mergers that would concentrate too much market power in a single company. The states, led by California, sued on July 13 arguing that combining these two entertainment giants would create a media behemoth with the power to raise prices across film and television and to squeeze rivals. A temporary restraining order is exactly what it sounds like—a short-term freeze to preserve the status quo while the court takes a harder look; the “likely violates” language signals the states cleared the initial bar of showing they're reasonably likely to succeed. It is not a final ruling that the merger is illegal. The significance is twofold. First, it's a reminder that even after companies strike a deal, they still have to clear the antitrust gauntlet, and state attorneys general—not just federal enforcers—can be the ones holding the gate. Second, the sheer scale here, a hundred-and-ten-billion-dollar combination of major studios and networks, makes this a marquee test of how aggressively courts will scrutinize consolidation in an industry that shapes what Americans watch.Judge orders Paramount to temporarily pause Warner Bros. acquisition | ReutersA federal judge has granted final approval of Anthropic's $1.5 billion settlement with a class of authors who accused the AI company of misusing their books to train its chatbot Claude—the largest known copyright settlement in U.S. history. The deal works out to roughly $3,000 per work across an estimated 500,000 books, split among the authors and publishers who hold the rights. The legal backstory is important, because it's more precise than “AI company pays authors.” The now-retired Judge William Alsup, who first handled the case, drew a careful line: he suggested that training AI on lawfully acquired books could qualify as fair use, but found that Anthropic had violated authors' rights by downloading and storing more than seven million pirated books in a “central library”—copies it obtained illegitimately, regardless of whether they were ultimately used for training. In other words, the core wrong the settlement addresses is the piracy—the acquisition and hoarding of stolen copyrighted works—not simply the act of training itself. The settlement drew objections from some authors who argue it's too small, overpays the plaintiffs' attorneys, or wrongly leaves out certain rights holders, and the judge had to weigh those before signing off. The significance is that this sets a real-world price on one flavor of AI's copyright problem. It doesn't resolve the biggest open question—whether training on copyrighted material is itself lawful—but it establishes that how you got the training data matters enormously, and that building your library out of pirated books can cost you well over a billion dollars.US judge approves Anthropic's $1.5 billion settlement of copyright lawsuit | ReutersAnd finally, the Justice Department has announced a civil-rights probe into Harvard University, this time over its financial aid programs. The Department's Civil Rights Division says it has opened a “compliance review” to determine whether Harvard's China-based financial aid arrangements discriminate on the basis of national origin by steering aid to foreign—presumably Chinese—students in a way that excludes American citizens. The theory rests on an unusual inversion of civil-rights law. Statutes like Title VI of the Civil Rights Act bar recipients of federal funding from discriminating based on national origin, and they've historically been used to protect racial and ethnic minorities. Here the DOJ is deploying that framework to allege discrimination against American-citizen students. The trigger, according to the Department, was an audit of Harvard's foreign-funding disclosures showing the university has received more than $630 million from sources based in China, some of it allegedly earmarked, through donor restrictions, for aid to particular students. Harvard says it's reviewing the letter and will engage with the government. The significance is that this is the latest salvo in a sustained campaign against Harvard and other elite universities, which have faced probes and funding threats over everything from admissions to campus protests. Whatever the merits of this specific allegation, the pattern is what's notable: the machinery of federal civil-rights enforcement being aimed, repeatedly and pointedly, at a handful of institutions the administration has publicly targeted.US DOJ says it is probing Harvard over financial aid programs | Reuters This is a public episode.

Hamlet wagers 6 Barbary horses against 6 French swords. Falstaff talks about fighting with a Barbary hen. Bassanio in Merchant of Venice talks about travelling merchants going to foreign lands including "Tripolis, Mexico and England, Lisbon, Barbary, and India" There are also an additional 5 references to Barbary horses.   The Barbary States were Algeria, Tunisia, Tripolis, and Morroco. These were powerful coastal societies tied in various ways to the Ottoman world, and in Shakespeare's day they were central to English fears about piracy and captivity. Ships were seized. Sailors were enslaved. Families, merchants, churches, and governments negotiated over the price of a human life.  English first hand accounts of the Muslim world and the Barbary States in particular were sparse, even non-existent prior to Richard Knolles publication in 1603 where he writes the History of the Turks, the same year Shakespeare publishes his Ottoman-heavy play with a Moor in the title role, Othello.   Today we are joined by Daniel Vitkus, editor of Piracy, Slavery, and Redemption: Barbary Captivity Narratives from Early Modern England, and Abdulhamit Arvas, Associate Professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania and expert on early modern Muslims, Barbary pirates, and Shakespeare. They are here to help us explore the place of the Barbary Coast in Shakespeare's England, to understand the culture of hostages and holding someone ransom, what was happening to Britons that were taken captive and sold into slavery by the Barbary pirates, as well as to explain the surprising dichotomy of being afraid of the Barbary nation while admiring their products, like horses.

A hacker stayed anonymous for years. Mishaal Khan, author of Phantom CISO and creator of Operation Privacy, found him in about an hour using OSINT, open source intelligence, meaning information that's already public and free to find. The case grew into a Department of Justice investigation and a documentary that premiered at Tribeca. Inside: the OSINT method nobody teaches, the voice cloning scam that takes ten seconds, and the mansion address he legally made his own, Tony Stark's.Chapters00:00 Meet Mishaal Khan and his cybersecurity expertise01:08 Mishaal's background and notable projects02:16 Fooling credit bureaus with Iron Man's address03:14 Operation privacy: a crowdsourced privacy management tool06:55 Implementing privacy strategies in daily life07:25 The importance of a security culture in organizations13:23 The capabilities and risks of AI and voice cloning15:48 Social engineering tactics and how to defend against them20:17 OSINT techniques for cybersecurity and social engineering22:45 Defending against organized cyber threats and long-term reconnaissance27:10 Building a security-aware organizational culture30:00 Mishaal's work in law enforcement and legal boundaries49:38 Upcoming documentary 'Stealing Magic' and its focus50:31 Piracy in the magic community and digital theft52:24 Unmasking online impersonators and the role of OSINT54:48 The importance of creativity and organic investigation in cybersecurity55:49 Closing remarks and Mishaal's book 'Phantom CISO'Questions?

Episode description (full):A trade group that speaks for nearly every major game publisher told California lawmakers that running a private or community server is piracy. The catch: you can download a Minecraft server from Minecraft's own website, for free. So what did the ESA actually mean?We brought back Jonathan Yarbor, co-founder of game-server host Nodecraft, to cut through the outrage with the actual law and economics. We break down the difference between a bootleg server that steals an MMO's revenue and the licensed community and private servers most players actually use, why AAA studios walked away from private servers in the first place (hint: 10 to 25 cents per player, per month), and the four-word fix Jonathan thinks changes everything: license, don't litigate.We also get into City of Heroes coming back from the dead, why Minecraft's real magic was never the game itself, and the legal-plus-technical-plus-revenue "trifecta" that's finally making publishers say yes. Context: the ESA's comments came while opposing California's AB 1921, the Protect Our Games Act, which failed committee on June 29 but was granted reconsideration, and the Stop Killing Games campaign says it's taking the fight national.Short description (for feeds/Shorts):The ESA called private servers piracy.

If buying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing. And after PlayStation announced it was done with physical media, even game historians are saying that gamers and archivists will have to resort to pirating games if no other legal means of owning an intact copy exist.

Did pirates really bury treasure, fly the Jolly Roger and walk the plank?Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced avoids many of the clichés of pirate fiction.

Territory Capture is getting its biggest shake-up in years, and this Talking Trek live stream dives deep into everything we know so far from the Update 92 arc preview. DJz, Tarpy, and the live community break down Q's new Origin Sector chaos, including Isogenite mining, Quantum Hostiles, Quantum Guardian loot goblins, Tesseract Armadas, new services, new rewards, schedule changes, and what alliances need to start thinking about before the map turns spicy again. We also discuss what is not changing in Territory Capture, how new cargo-based rewards create piracy opportunities, why alliances will have to choose their services carefully, and how Scopely may be trying to breathe life back into a feature that many servers had quietly allowed to fossilize. Plus, we get into the larger state of STFC under Cameron Stewart, including tech fixes, culture shifts, economy pain points, David Eckleberry's advisory role, and whether the game is finally trying to move from “push ops forever” back toward actual player experience. Live long and prosper, commanders.

Resurgent Piracy in the Gulf of Aden. Guest: Bridget Toomey and Bill Roggio. Bridget Toomey reports a resurgence of Somali piracy, with three ships recently captured for ransom in the Gulf of Aden. Bill Roggio links this spike to Al-Shabaab's growth and suggests that pirate networks may be coordinating with the Houthis to facilitate weapons smuggling and increase regional instability. 101721

In this episode, we discuss the rum industry in connection with grievances #16 and #17 in the Declaration of Independence: "For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world" "For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent" Topics include the following: -an explanation of rum production, from sugarcane to the finished product -the origins of sugarcane and rum production in Barbados in the early 1600s -the development of distilleries in the Colonies, particularly Massachusetts, in the late 1600s -rum consumption in the Colonies by people in cities, slave traders, fishermen, and native Americans -the use of rum as a form of payment in the triangular slave trade -the imperial mercantilist competition between British rum and French brandy -the moral and religious history of rum and alcohol consumption -the Colonial activist movements that aimed to create political change, for example, by refusing to consume products made by enslaved people or by boycotting tea -the Molasses Act of 1733 and the Sugar Act of 1763 -the rise of rum smuggling and the association between rum and piracy -the deleted passage in the Declaration condemning slavery and its connection to the rum industry -the state of the rum industry, slavery, and the abolition movement after the formation of the United States -the development of the maple syrup industry as a moral alternative to the sugar and rum industry, which was driven by the immoral institution of slavery Prof. Smith's book can be found here: [The Invention of Rum: Creating the Quintessential Atlantic Commodity](https://www.pennpress.org/9781512828184/the-invention-of-rum/) His article in Commonplace can be found here: [Where's the Pirate?](https://commonplace.online/article/wheres-the-pirate/) The cover image features a sugarcane plantation with a mill and enslaved people in Antigua.

Kinsella on Liberty Podcast: Episode 491. https://youtu.be/lfjpoKCWBDA I've known Paul Cwik, Professor of Economics and Finance at the University of Mount Olive and fellow of the Mises Institute since I started attending the Austrian Scholars Conference in 1995. He is an Austrian and libertarian of sorts but had some qualms with my anti-IP writing so presented a paper "Is There Room for Intellectual Property Rights in Austrian Economics?" at the Austrian Scholars Conference in 2008, which I attended and commented on. After 18 years we finally decided to get around to talking about this. I had planned on an hour but we ended up talking for 3. It turns out we were old friends but not that close; we didn't know much about each other. So the first 30-50 minutes or so is more preliminary discussion. To his credit, he read a good deal of the huge deluge of material I sent to read up on and asked many very good questions. He did not engage in intentional equivocation that is characteristic of many on the pro-IP side, and he was reasonable in conceding many of my points and was willing to ponder my push back. I was hoping to get him to see the light, since I have in person seen many people change their minds on IP after a long discussion but have never had it happen while recording. We did not resolve the issue, partly because we just didn't have enough time to keep going, but I think we made some progress. Maybe we will have a Part 2 later. Who knows. For now, some relevant links pertaining to some of the topics discussed. I will organize this better later. (Not to be confused with Bryan Cwik, who also has opinions on IP: “Good Ideas is Pretty Scarce”; Bryan Cwik, "Property Rights in Non‐rival Goods" (2, 3, 4); "Labor as the Basis for Intellectual Property Rights" (2; 3); Gamrot, Labor as the Basis for Intellectual Property Rights: Against Cwik.)

Locke correctly argued that the first person to “mix his labor with” an unowned resource owns it, since he thereby establishes an objective link to the resource which gives him a better claim to it than latecomers.[55] However, Locke based his argument on the confused and unnecessary idea that a person “owns” his labor and “therefore” owns resources that he mixes it with. But labor is not owned—it is an action, something a person performs with his body, which he does own—and this assumption is not needed for the Lockean labor-mixture argument to work.[56] This mistaken notion leads some people to favor IP because they figure that if you own a scarce resource because you mix your labor with it, you also own useful ideas that are produced with your labor. The related Smith-Ricardo-Marx labor theory of value, which underlies Marxism and socialism, is also sometimes used to support IP, as when people argue that if you work or labor, you “deserve” some kind of reward or profit. All this focus on labor must be rejected as overly metaphorical and confused, and, frankly, Marxian.[57]" On Libertarian Legal Theory, Self-Ownership and Drug Laws: p. 632 Libertarianism After Fifty Years: What Have We Learned?, p. 687 Creationism: Libertarian and Lockean Creationism: Creation As a Source of Wealth, not Property Right Libertarian Creationism KOL012 | “The Intellectual Property Quagmire, or, The Perils of Libertarian Creationism,” Austrian Scholars Conference 2008 KOL037 | Locke's Big Mistake: How the Labor Theory of Property Ruined Political Theory Part III.C.2 C.

In this second episode of our pirate series we explore the brutal realities of life during the Golden Age of Piracy and why so many sailors abandoned imperial service for outlaw life on the open sea. Far from romantic adventure, the Atlantic world of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries was shaped by mercantilism, rigid trade monopolies, violent naval discipline, and extreme inequality. Mr. Palumbo examines how sailors endured disease, starvation wages, corruption, and harsh punishment aboard legal vessels, why piracy increasingly appeared to many as a rational alternative rather than simple criminality, and how pirate crews organized themselves through elected captains, profit-sharing systems, strict internal discipline, and survival contracts designed to align risk with reward. The episode also explores the blurry line between pirates and privateers, state-sponsored raiders legally authorized to attack enemy commerce revealing how governments themselves often encouraged maritime violence when it served imperial interests.

For thousands of years, the most desperate minds in history — scientists, sorcerers, and everyone in between — have refused to accept that death is the end. | #WDRadio April 12, 2026==========HOUR ONE: I'm pretty sure that unless you were born of a virgin, died, and then rose from the grave three days later, no one has had any real success at bringing people back from the underworld. But that's exactly what people who practice necromancy try to do – wake the dead. They can't be successful at it though, can they? (Raising The Dead) *** The people of Japan have a myth of a terrible snake-like creature with death-dealing powers called a Tsuchinoko. But unlike many legends, there have been modern sightings of this bizarre cryptid. Is it real? If so, what could it be? (Is The Legendary Tsuchinoko Real?) *** At the age of only 14, George Stinney Jr. was the youngest person in history to be put to death in the electric chair. Then, seventy years later he was proven innocent. (The Execution of an Innocent) ***They were cigar-shaped, glowed red and could turn on a dime. Which ruled out even the most sophisticated rockets of the time. What is it that World War II fighter pilots were seeing in the skies flying with them? (The UFOs of World War 2)==========HOUR TWO: All families have their ups and downs. However, when you find a clan where an infanticide trial is arguably the least worst thing to happen to them, it's safe to say you've found one very special household… the Mabbitt family. 
(The Confusing Disappearance of Luella Mabbitt) *** A woman moves into a home where the past three residents went insane. What could possibly go wrong? (The House With The Unfortunate Past) *** Bartholomew Roberts, better known as the in famous pirate Black Bart, operated in the Caribbean and the Atlantic Ocean from 1719 to 1722. He was easily the most successful pirate of the Golden Age of Piracy, having been known to have captured over 400 ships in his day. But could it be true that he was actually forced to become a pirate against his will? (Was Black Bart Forced To Become a Pirate?) *** If you could choose a superpower, what would it be? Invisibility? Flight? Super strength or speed? What about X-ray vision like Superman? Would you believe there was a man in the 20th century who did have x-ray vision, without technology to do it? He had a few other superpowers as well! (The Man With The X-Ray Eyes)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: It was the slaying that shocked Australia. Sometime on the night of December 26th, 1898, Michael Murphy and his two younger sisters were slaughtered as they traveled back from Gatton in southeastern Australia. Their murders prompted a massive investigation—yet the crime remains unsolved to this day. (Australia's Unsolved Gatton Murders) *** A snowy November day, a bus full of students, and an icy lake. It was about to become the day of the worst school-related accident in Washington state history. (School Bus Plunges To An Icy Death)==========SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM TONIGHT'S SHOW:VIDEO of Kuba Bux from 1938: https://weirddarkness.com/archives/6546BOOK: Military Encounters with UFOs in World War II by Keith Chester: https://amzn.to/2MdWUHl“Australia's Unsolved Gatton Murders” by Orrin Grey for The Line Up: https://tinyurl.com/yapybysk“The Confusing Disappearance of Luella Mabbitt” from Strange Company: https://tinyurl.com/y88xoa95“The Man With The X-Ray Eyes” by Marc Hartzman for Weird Historian: https://tinyurl.com/y9ok2wnz“The House With The Unfortunate Past” by Dar77 from Your Ghost Stories: https://tinyurl.com/y85t95qe“Was Black Bart Forced To Become a Pirate?” by Ellen Lloyd for Ancient Pages: https://tinyurl.com/yc7doxlj“Is The Legendary Tsuchinoko Real?” by Ellen Lloyd for Ancient Pages: https://tinyurl.com/y7aoznc2“The Execution of an Innocent” from Bugged Space: https://tinyurl.com/yagynb2y“Zombie Science” by Kimberly Hickok for Live Science: https://tinyurl.com/ybud3hly“Raising The Dead” by Jen Jeffers for Ranker: (link no longer available)“The UFOs of World War 2” by Adam Janos for History: https://tinyurl.com/yamx3hnl“School Bus Plunges To An Icy Death” by Daryl McClary for History Link: https://tinyurl.com/ybtxdrrl==========(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.
