Tonight on Black Dragon Biker TV: A heavy lineup of MC violence, courtroom outcomes, Bike Week chaos, parole denials, and a bold political run.North Las Vegas Police: Shooting Between 2 Motorcycle Gang Members Outside Bar Turns DeadlyLate-night gunfire outside a bar in North Las Vegas left one man dead and another injured. Police confirmed it stemmed from a confrontation between two motorcycle gang members. No names or club affiliations released publicly yet, but the investigation is treating it as targeted gang violence. North Las Vegas PD is seeking witnesses; surveillance and witness statements are key. Another reminder of how quickly things can escalate outside the clubhouse.Man Stabbed in 2023 Biker Clash in Cornwall Found Not Guilty of Firearms ChargesIn Cornwall, Ontario, a man involved in a violent 2023 biker-related clash (stabbing incident tied to a local MC dispute) was found not guilty on firearms charges. The jury acquitted him after evidence showed he was not the aggressor with a gun. The stabbing victim survived; the case highlighted ongoing tensions in Canadian biker circles. Defense argued self-defense and lack of proof on the firearm possession.Betty Boop Busted as Daytona Bike Week Officially StartsDaytona Bike Week 2026 kicked off with a bang — and an arrest. A woman dressed as (or nicknamed) Betty Boop was busted during opening weekend festivities in Volusia County. Charges reportedly include disorderly conduct, public intoxication, and/or resisting arrest amid the massive crowds. Volusia Sheriff's deputies say she was disruptive at a main event area. Classic Bike Week drama — the party starts, but so do the cuffs.Inmate Who Killed Quebec Biker-Turned-Informant Behind Bars Denied ParoleThe man convicted in the murder of a former Quebec biker who flipped and became a police informant has been denied parole. The killer remains incarcerated after the board cited ongoing public safety concerns, lack of remorse, and the severity of the crime (tied to Hells Angels-related investigations). This keeps the spotlight on Quebec's long-running outlaw MC probes and informant protections.Coroner-Elect Stapleton's Official Announcement – Running for Douglas County, GA Coroner in 2028A local Georgia biker has officially thrown his hat in the ring: Coroner-Elect Stapleton announced his candidacy for Douglas County Coroner in the 2028 election.

This bonus content is a reading from Platypus, the CASTAC Blog. The full post by Jonathan Givan can be read at https://blog.castac.org/2026/03/hip-hop-sampling-and-the-akai-mpc-as-a-platform-for-spatiotemporal-discourse/. About the post: This analysis moves away from exploring Hip Hop as a particular Black political action taking sonic form and towards an ontology of Black American Hip Hop production. This shift is valuable because the sonic underpinning of the beat is what contextualizes and informs the lyrical production done in real time by the emcee during the process of writing and recording their lyrics. In doing this contextualizing work, Hip Hop music producers redeployed the sampler as not just a musical instrument but as a platform on which new forms of dialogue were able to blossom.

What happens when we stop treating the Bible as a sacred object and start paying attention to how we actually use it? In this conversation, theologian David Dault reflects on interpretation, responsibility, and the ethics of reading scripture in a fractured world. In this episode with Evan Rosa, Dault reflects on interpretation, responsibility, and how readers shape the meaning and moral impact of the Bible. Together they discuss the materiality of scripture, translation and betrayal, moral seriousness, scriptural reasoning across traditions, catastrophic love, and the ethical responsibility readers bear for how sacred texts are used. Episode Highlights “To assume that we know what a text is telling us is a matter of hubris.” “The Bible doesn't tell you to do anything. You as a reader decide what to do.” “Violence is always an act of interpretation.” “We never get to a place where everything is clean and everyone benefits.” “We have to take responsibility for the violence we involve ourselves in.” About David Dault David Dault is a theologian, journalist, and media producer whose work explores religion, culture, ethics, and interpretation. He is Executive Producer and host of Things Not Seen: Conversations About Culture and Faith, a nationally distributed public radio program. He teaches in the Institute of Pastoral Studies at Loyola University Chicago. Dault's scholarship focuses on hermeneutics, religion and media, and the ethical implications of how sacred texts are interpreted and used in public life. His book The Accessorized Bible examines the material forms, cultural framing, and interpretive communities that shape how people encounter scripture. He holds degrees in theology and religious studies and frequently writes and lectures on religion, politics, and culture.

Yael Elish, Founder of StuffThatWorks, was part of the Waze founding team that brought crowdsourcing to maps and traffic. She is now bringing her insights into the power of the crowd to build a patient-generated real-world database to support patients and medical research, accelerating drug development, and improving the efficiency of clinical trials. Their OpenStuff platform is an AI-powered search tool that makes patient experience data accessible to patients, doctors, and researchers, and validates the patient experience. Yael explains, "As background, I was part of the Waze founding team, and this is where I got acquainted firsthand with the power of crowdsourcing. Waze does crowdsourcing of traffic and the building of maps. And this is where people are joining based on a common vision that if everyone shares information in an organized form. If there's a platform that can collect all the data in a structured format, it can deliver everything in a way that's much more useful and solves a very big problem that otherwise couldn't be solved." "So the idea here is people have a ton of experience, especially when we're talking about a chronic condition someone has been living with for years and years and years. They've tried many things. Some went out and researched the information that everyone else has. How they experienced the condition, what they tried, what worked, what didn't work, what are the aggravating factors, what are the comorbidities? All this information that people have, if collected in an organized form as data at scale, can be transformed into very powerful data that doesn't exist today. That's the premise behind StuffThatWorks. And the way it works is that anyone can join their condition community. So if you have a chronic condition, you will search for your condition, you will join your condition, and you will share information that becomes data, consistent data across everyone who joins the platform. And today, with AI, it's really transformative. It's amazing, unique data that doesn't exist anywhere else." #StuffThatWorks #OpenStuff #HealthTech #PatientEmpowerment #AIHealthcare #CrowdsourcingHealth #DigitalHealth #ChronicDisease #HealthcareInnovation #PatientData #ClinicalTrials #PersonalizedMedicine #HealthAI #MedicalResearch #PatientVoice #HealthcareTransformation #RealWorldEvidence stuffthatworks.health Listen to the podcast here

Dag vijf van de oorlog in Iran. De aanvallen gaan door, de onrust in het Midden-Oosten blijft. De chaos op de beurzen in Azië ook: de Kospi verloor op een dag maar liefst 12 procent. Een veldslag, maar opvallend niet op de Europese beurzen. Het lijkt erop dat beleggers gerust worden gesteld door Trump én zijn minister van Financiën. De Amerikaanse regering zegt namelijk dat de Amerikaanse marine olietankers gaat beschermen. Dat het maatregelen neemt om de olietransporten veilig te houden. Iets dat de olieprijs én de aandelenhandel goed deed. Deze aflevering hebben we het over die belofte. Kan 'ie die wel nakomen? En is het wel terecht dat beleggers vandaan zo rustig reageren?Ondertussen komt de VS wel met een economische aanval. De wereldwijde importtarieven (van 15 procent) gaan deze week gewoon in, zegt minister Scott Bessent. Ondanks de oorlog in het Midden-Oosten en de volatiliteit op de beurzen...Hebben we het ook over een bedrijf dat met de kwartaalcijfers komt: ASM. De chipmachinemaker komt met een grote verassing! In de laatste maanden van 2025 verdiende het meer aan China en datzelfde land gaat dit jaar ook voor veel omzet zorgen. ASM spreekt over ‘een aanzienlijke verbetering ten opzichte van onze eerdere prognose van een daling met dubbele cijfers’.Verder praten we je ook bij over de ruzie tussen de VS en Spanje. De Amerikanen willen géén handel meer doen met de Spanjaarden. Allemaal omdat het land geen zin heeft in de Iran-oorlog. Hoor je ook over de ruzie tussen Anthropic en het Pentagon, het aandeel Coinbase én een man die in een keer een miljoen Nvidia-aandelen heeft gekocht. Te gast: Nico Inberg van De Aandeelhouder BNR Beurs is een journalistiek onafhankelijke productie, mede mogelijk gemaakt door Saxo. Over de makers: Jelle Maasbach is presentator van BNR Beurs en freelance financieel journalist. Zijn favoriete aandeel om over te praten is Disney, maar daar lijkt hij de enige in te zijn. Sinds de eerste uitzending van BNR Beurs is 'ie er bij. Maxim van Mil is presentator van BNR Beurs en journalist bij BNR, waar hij zich focust op de financiële markten en ontwikkelingen in de tech-wereld. Je krijgt hem het meest enthousiast als hij kan praten over ASML, of oer-Hollandse bedrijven zoals Ahold of ABN Amro. Jorik Simonides is presentator van BNR Beurs, economieredacteur en verslaggever bij BNR. Hij wordt er vooral blij van als het een keer níet over AI gaat. Milou Brand is presentator van BNR Beurs, freelance podcastmaker en columnist bij het Financieele Dagblad. Jochem Visser is presentator van BNR Beurs, maakt Beursnerd XL en de podcast Onder Curatoren. Vraag hem naar obscure zaken op financiële markten en hij vertelt je waarom het eigenlijk nóg leuker is dan je al dacht. Over de podcast: Met BNR Beurs ga je altijd voorbereid de nieuwe beursdag in. We praten je in een kleine 25 minuten bij over alle laatste ontwikkelingen op de handelsvloer. We blijven niet alleen bij de AEX of Wall Street, maar vertellen je ook waar nog meer kansen liggen. En we houden het niet bij de cijfers, maar zoeken ook iedere dag voor je naar duiding van scherpe gasten en experts. Of je nu een ervaren belegger bent of net begint met je eerste stappen op de beurs, de podcast biedt waardevolle inzichten voor je beleggingsstrategie. Door de focus op zowel de korte termijn als de lange termijn, helpt BNR Beurs luisteraars om de ruis van de markt te scheiden van de essentie. Van Musk tot Microsoft en van Ahold tot ASML. Wij vertellen je wat beleggers bezighoudt, wie de markten in beweging zet en wat dat betekent voor jouw beleggingsportefeuille.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The 2027 lineup also adds a first-ever iX4 coupe-SUV in two variants, an iX3 in three configurations launching in North America this summer, an electric iX5, and an i3 M60 alongside a full electric M3 positioned as the spiritual successor to today's M3 Competition.TESLA BERLIN RUNS HALF FULL AS UNION ROW SIMMERSTesla's Gigafactory Berlin produced 211,235 vehicles in 2024 against a stated annual capacity of 375,000 — a 56% utilisation rate — and output has since declined further, with the factory now reportedly running at around 40% capacity and BYD outselling Tesla in Europe in January 2026. Labour tensions are deepening ahead of works council elections, with IG Metall pursuing collective wage agreements similar to those at Volkswagen and BMW, while Tesla filed a criminal complaint against a union member and Elon Musk warned that "outside organisations" could hinder the site's ambition to become Europe's largest factory complex.T&E: LOCAL BATTERIES COULD CUT COST GAPA Transport & Environment report argues the EU can shrink the cost gap between domestically made and Chinese batteries from 90% to around 30% through scaled-up local production, with higher automation and lower scrap rates potentially cutting the gap to $14 per kWh by 2030 — equivalent to roughly €500 on an average EV. The findings align with the EU's forthcoming Industrial Accelerator Act, which targets ~70% local content thresholds for publicly supported EVs, though some carmakers warn this risks making batteries prohibitively expensive while T&E's Julia Poliscanova calls it "a sovereignty premium worth paying," particularly given China's export restrictions on critical minerals.TRIBUNAL BACKS 5% VAT ON SOME PUBLIC CHARGINGA UK tax tribunal has ruled against HMRC in a case brought by community charging operator Charge My Street, finding that a de-minimis clause in the VAT Act 1994 — capping "domestic" supplies at 1,000 kWh per month per customer — can qualify most neighbourhood charge points for the 5% reduced VAT rate rather than the 20% rate currently applied to public charging. The ruling is significant for drivers without off-street parking, though it also raises commercial complications, as many charge point operators have multi-year contracts priced on 20% VAT, and it opens the door to networks gaming the threshold by splitting sites or charger banks into separate "premises".ŠKODA OPENS €205M CTP BATTERY PLANT IN CZECHIAŠkoda has opened a €205 million (~$216M), 55,000 m² battery production facility at Mladá Boleslav, making it the Volkswagen Group's largest BEV battery system site and the first VW Group plant in Europe to manufacture cell-to-pack (CTP) systems at scale. The line produces over 1,100 battery systems per day — targeting up to 335,000 annually — and Škoda's switch to LFP cells has cut battery production costs by 30% compared to its previous MEB systems.MG CLOSES IN ON EUROPEAN FACTORY PLANMG has narrowed its European factory search to five countries, aiming to begin production by 2027 to circumvent the EU's 45% tariff on Chinese-built BEVs — a levy that caused MG's European BEV sales to fall 33% to 48,479 units last year, even as overall European sales rose 26% to 307,282 units in 2025. MG Europe head William Wang declared "it's time to build local," positioning the brand as a European marque rather than a Chinese import, as rivals BYD, Chery, and Leapmotor also race to establish European manufacturing footholds.CITROËN UPDATES C5 AIRCROSS PHEV FOR EURO 7Citroën has refreshed the C5 Aircross plug-in hybrid with a new 21.5 kWh battery (17.8 kWh usable), delivering up to 96 km (60 miles) of WLTP combined electric range — a 33% improvement over the outgoing model and ahead of rivals like the Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4 (69 km) and Ford Kuga PHEV (64 km). Priced in the €40–50k range, Citroën positions the updated C5 Aircross as one of the most tax-efficient family SUVs in the mainstream segment across EU markets while still targeting Euro 7 compliance.CANADIAN TRIAL PEGS ELECTRIC SEMI SAVINGS AT $157,126A real-world Canadian trial by FPInnovations' PIT Group and Transport Canada tracked two commercial fleets over 12 months and more than 200,000 km of Montreal-area operations, projecting savings of $157,126 per truck over six years — described as the most comprehensive dataset of its kind outside controlled demonstrations. The study compared the Freightliner eCascadia (BEV) directly against the diesel Cascadia and found that despite the electric truck's higher purchase price, higher-than-expected maintenance costs, and lower residual value, a six-year saving still emerged and may prove conservative.DENZA D9 ELECTRIC MPV ARRIVES IN AUSTRALIADenza has launched the D9 electric MPV in Australia from A$85,990, powered by a 103.3 kWh Blade Battery with 200 kW DC fast charging, 11 kW AC charging, and V2L capability across both variants, all built on BYD's e-Platform 3.0 with a cell-to-body battery structure. The seven-seat, three-row cabin targets the premium end of the people-mover segment with nappa leather, open-pore white ash wood trim, a 14-speaker Dynaudio sound system, adaptive suspension, and second-row captain's chairs offering over 900 mm of legroom, massage, and individual screens.CHINESE CAR BRANDS SPLIT US BUYERSA Cox Automotive survey of 802 prospective US car buyers found the country almost evenly divided — 38% would consider Chinese brands if available, 39% would not — with Gen Z showing notably higher openness at 69%. Chinese brands remain locked out of the US market by high tariffs and software regulations, but cost pressure is a key driver of interest, with 68% of open buyers expecting lower prices against an average new car price of $50,000, while BYD has already surpassed Tesla in European EV sales.

I'm joined by returning guest Deanna Seymour to talk about what it's actually like to run a membership. We're not talking about finding your niche or writing the perfect sales page. We're talking about what happens after you launch. The platform decisions. The pricing traps. The emotional rollercoaster. The churn. The awkward community moments. The burnout risk. Because memberships are not passive income, they're living, breathing ecosystems. We cover: Platform mistakes to avoid, especially when you're just starting. Why low-ticket pricing isn't automatically easier to sell. The emotional reality of people joining and leaving. Balancing running the community with actually growing it. Why doing more inside the membership can backfire. How to stop taking churn personally. Experimenting without burning yourself out. We both share lessons learned the hard way, including over-delivering, over-building, over-expecting, and underestimating the emotional load of community leadership. If you're thinking about starting a membership, already running one, or quietly wondering why yours feels heavier than you expected, this conversation will land. You're not failing. It's just more nuanced than the internet makes it look. Thinking about starting your own Skool community? Create your own Skool here (affiliate link). Curious about The Done Era?

Rob McDonald, SVP of Platform at Virtru joins the podcast to double-click into the privacy and data discussion. We explore subsidizing the pain of giving personal data in exchange for 'free' services, informed consent, regulation alone isn't a silver bullet, and what outcomes we could we drive when we combine user decisions with regulation.

Want to reach out to us? Want to leave a comment or review? Want to give us a suggestion or berate Anthony? Send us a text by clicking this link!We read Daniel 9 and John 8, then sit with a demanding truth from Divine Intimacy: humility is not a mood or a vibe; it's the foundation that lets charity stand. If love is the house, humility is the bedrock—and without it, even our best intentions warp into self-reliance.We talk honestly about what that looks like in modern life. Creating content that serves people can collide with the drive for views and metrics, and the heart tug-of-war is real. Do we want reach or refinement? Platform or poverty of spirit? We name the tension and offer a different aim: fidelity over visibility, hiddenness when needed, and results left in God's hands. Along the way, Jesus' words—“You are from below; I am from above”—reframe our origin and our end. Belief is not mere assent; it's surrender into a life taught and sustained by the Father.Lent gives us a laboratory to practice the descent. We map out simple steps that loosen pride's grip: trim social media, choose quiet over constant input, make hidden acts of charity, and turn failed penances into occasions for trust rather than tougher vows. Saints Teresa and Thérèse remind us that grace fills what we empty, and God stoops to the lowly. The invitation is steady and specific: dig deeper foundations, let God build the house, and judge progress by obedience and love. If you're hungry for less noise and more substance, this conversation offers Scripture, prayer, and practical moves to make humility livable.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs courage for the descent, and leave a review telling us how you're reshaping your Lent.

Episode #371 – Is a More Expensive Email Platform Actually Worth It? Is paying more for an email marketing platform actually worth it - or is that just industry hype? I've seen so many ecommerce brands choose tools based on price alone… and then regret it later when their strategy outgrows the platform. In this episode, I break down when investing more makes sense - and when it doesn't. Because your email platform isn't just a monthly subscription. It's infrastructure. And infrastructure decisions compound. If you're serious about email and SMS becoming revenue channels (not just newsletters), this is a decision that deserves more thought than "what's the cheapest option?" You'll learn: Why brands rarely regret investing in a stronger platform upfront The hidden cost of choosing a cheaper tool (it's not the subscription price) What "infrastructure decisions compound" really means in email marketing The real example of a brand locked into an annual deal that no longer fits What you're actually paying for in a premium email platform When it's perfectly fine to start with a lighter platform The question you should ask instead of "What's the cheapest option?" Price usually reflects capability in email marketing tools. And when your email program starts working, the last thing you want is to rebuild your foundation mid-growth.

Starting with marketing-focused customer acquisition through internet content, Rob Greenlee evolved from radio into pioneering podcast creation, revealing a crucial historical truth: video podcasting has existed since podcasting's inception, with major media companies distributing full television episodes via RSS feeds since the early 2000s. His core principle—that content bridges creators and audiences—remains constant across all technological transformations. His most valuable takeaway is that professionalization and rising production standards, while elevating content quality, have simultaneously raised barriers to entry. Rather than fearing AI as a threat, Rob advocates owning digital intellectual property—including AI clones capturing voice, expressions, and gestures—as a control mechanism over narrative and opportunity. This democratizes creation for those with disabilities and limited budgets while simultaneously demanding that human creators differentiate through authentic creativity and vision. His critical insight is that AI strips away production complexity and reduces labor intensity, making content creation more accessible while simultaneously raising the bar for what constitutes compelling, human-centered work. For creators committed to thriving in this multi-platform, AI-enabled future, Rob Greenlee's guidance is rooted in continuous experimentation and informed flexibility. Visit his website to access his coaching, strategic sessions, podcast networks, and archival content dating to 1999—all resources designed to help you align creative work with sustainable business models. Rob's fundamental message: success belongs to those who remain observant of industry shifts, adaptable in their approach, and unwavering in their commitment to authentic human connection and creative excellence.

I got the dates wrong. Their security guards were doing their job and I couldn't sneak my way into the conference despite having a ticket to the conference the day after.  So what do I do? I snuck into Alibaba instead, like any normal person.  In this episode, I talk about the things I saw while sneaking into the Alibaba HQ in Hangzhou, China. I learned how Alibaba's working conditions look like, how Alibaba grows their local brands, and how any mention of Jack Ma got erased from Alibaba.   Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction and Conference Mishap 01:27 - Visit to Alibaba's Headquarters 02:13 - Background on Alibaba and Chinese E-commerce 03:40 - Alibaba's Evolution and Market Dominance 05:32 - Taobao vs Amazon: The Largest E-commerce Platform 07:30 - Jack Ma's Influence and Controversy 09:25 - Inside Alibaba's Modern Headquarters 10:52 - Language and Leadership at Alibaba 12:47 - Jack Ma's Public Silence and Censorship 15:06 - Working Conditions in China 17:32 - Alibaba's E-commerce Incubator and Innovation 19:50 - Chinese E-commerce Brands and Innovation 21:40 - Cultural Insights and Social Media in China 23:07 - Elon Musk's Popularity in China Resources Mentioned Quiet Light Brokerage Alibaba Official Website Taobao Jack Ma Elon Musk As always, if you have any questions or anything that you need help with, leave a comment down below if you're interested.
