Bringing out Obama to the stump in Virginia seems like an interesting play. So, too is the messaging. Unity, low taxes, tough on crime. These are the things Democrats are closing with even though it's the furthest thing from their agenda heretofore. Even the DNC chair admits what they were selling isn't working. Stigall also continues to tackle the simmering discomfort amongst some conservatives and commentators on the rise of a certain attitude and belief system that he believes he's identified and understands its root. All of us must guard against it. Mark Weaver joins us to discuss SCOTUS taking up Trump tariffs this week, should Judge Boasberg be impeached by the House, and can federal judges force the President to pay SNAP benefits while Democrats continue to keep the government shut down? Erin Maguire joins to brag about her Bills and handicaps tomorrow's big election matchups. -For more info visit the official website: https://chrisstigall.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisstigallshow/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrisStigallFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.stigall/Listen on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/StigallPodListen on Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/StigallShowSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Rachel Harrison's new novel, "Play Nice," a woman must confront the demons of her past when she tries to fix up her childhood home.

In this captivating episode of Reading with Your Kids, host Jed Doherty explores two incredible children's books that spark imagination and teach valuable life lessons. First, he sits down with author Rachel Ignotofsky to discuss her groundbreaking book "Dinosaurs," a stunning journey through 4.5 billion years of Earth's history. Ignotofsky reveals the magic behind her meticulously crafted book, sharing insights into the intricate cover design and illustrations that bring prehistoric creatures to life. From tiny trilobites to massive dinosaurs, the book offers a comprehensive look at evolution that will fascinate both children and adults. The author's passion shines through as she explains how each illustration is carefully based on real fossil evidence, creating an educational experience that's both entertaining and scientifically accurate. The episode then shifts to a discussion with Flora Agbaje about her book "Play Nice, You Don't Have to Fight," which tackles the critical issue of sharing and social skills in childhood. As an experienced educator, Agbaje provides unique insights into how children learn to interact, emphasizing the importance of friendship and fun as natural behavioral reinforcers. Both authors highlight the challenges of modern parenting, particularly the impact of technology on children's social interactions. They argue for the importance of hands-on learning, sharing, and imagination in child development.

Today on Just One More Page, Morgan skips the apple picking and heads straight for the cider slushies at the orchard. Sam also shares a hilarious (and slightly concerning) fear that her son might one day wander into the woods and try to befriend a bobcat, mistaking it for a house cat. Of course, we also dive into Play Nice by Rachel Harrison a novel that manages to be both chilling and hilarious at the same time.   About The Novel: Clio Louise Barnes leads a picture-perfect life as a stylist and influencer, but beneath the glossy veneer she harbors a not-so glamorous secret: she grew up in a haunted house. Well, not haunted. Possessed. After Clio's parent's messy divorce, her mother, Alex, moved Clio and her sisters into a house occupied by a demon. Or so Alex claimed. That's not what Clio's sisters remember or what the courts determined when they stripped Alex of custody after she went off the deep end. But Alex was insistent; she even wrote a book about her experience in the house. After Alex's sudden death, the supposedly possessed house passes to Clio and her sisters. Where her sisters see childhood trauma, Clio sees an opportunity for house flipping content. Only, as the home makeover process begins, Clio discovers there might be some truth to her mother's claims. As memories resurface and Clio finally reads her mother's book, the presence in the house becomes more real, and more sinister, revealing ugly truths that threaten to shake Clio's beautiful life to its very foundation.   Trigger Warnings: Self-Harm, Trauma, Family Dysfunction, Body Horror, Grief, Adultery, Substance Abuse, Toxic Family/Friendships, Emotional Distress   Wanna Check Out Our Socials?

Episode 372: Lots of Hot Dog The Movie Talk. 

Very few of Portland's saloonkeepers threw firecrackers at the ladies of the Women's Temperance Prayer League and called them 'damn whores' when they came by to hold prayer services at their bars. But, as the old song goes, there's one in every crowd ... and it's usually Walter Moffett of the Webfoot Saloon. (Portland, Multnomah County; 1870s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/1902b.temperance-wars-2of4-534.html)

Financial institutions are losing an average of $100 million annually due to a fundamental disconnect between fintech innovation and traditional financial systems. A phenomenon FIS and Oxford Economics have termed the "Harmony Gap." "We hear a lot from people about the challenges and friction they see in the money lifecycle," explains FIS CTO, Firdaus Bhathena, at his firm's Emerald Conference at the end of May in Orlando, Florida.. "But we had not been able to quantify that." His firm's collaboration with Oxford Economics is changing that, providing hard data on what many suspected but couldn't measure. The new research, based on surveys of 1,000 executives across the US, UK, and Singapore, reveals that disharmony in the financial system is a costly reality affecting everything from cybersecurity to operational efficiency. As Margaux McLoughlin of Oxford Economics puts it, "When there are disruptions across the money lifecycle, that's what we call disharmony." Understanding what the research describes as a Harmony Gap requires examining how the modern financial ecosystem operates, why the human cost extends far beyond corporate losses, and what organizations can do to bridge the disconnect between innovation and implementation. The path forward requires a rethinking of how financial institutions approach systemic challenges in an interconnected world.

Host Jeremy C. Park talks with Karen Briscoe, Executive Program Director with PLAY NICE, who highlights the nonprofit organization focused on "providing a holistic youth development experience that prepares students for life beyond the classroom - equipping them with real-world skills, entrepreneurial mindsets, workforce readiness, and the confidence to lead with purpose, engage in their communities, and build meaningful futures through hands-on learning and mentorship."During the interview, Karen shares how the nonprofit organization started in 2019 by Tye Coleman and Kenny Cohen as an anti-bullying program, "Imagine It's You and Do Something," with the Police Athletic League (PAL) in New Jersey and Florida, and then how PLAY NICE was brought to Nashville when Tye Coleman moved back home to Tennessee. Karen highlights how PLAY NICE has grown in Nashville through partnerships, including Boys & Girls Clubs, Kid Power, YMCA, and Metro Nashville Schools, and how their programs still focus on anti-bullying, but have evolved to provide a holistic youth development experience with character education for students in kindergarten through 12th grade. The organization's initiatives include building self-esteem, workforce development, and entrepreneurship through mentorship programs, along with year-round activities like summer camps and after-school programs. Karen discusses the positive impact of their programs and talks about the importance of their volunteers, called "Champions for Change." Karen highlights the positive impact on participants, noting increased confidence and improved behavior, and encouraged community support through donations and volunteer opportunities, emphasizing that anyone, regardless of background, can achieve success with the right support.Visit https://www.nbztv.com/ to learn more about PLAY NICE and how to get involved, or you can call Karen Briscoe at 615-755-9718.

Then again, they've never encountered one that prominently features ex-Activision-Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick sharing anecdotes from his career, drumming up wild accusations against the CWA Union, and loudly eating celery into a microphone before today. Suffice it to say, they have some opinions to share.Please, enjoy.Listen to Beach Girl on SpotifyCheck out edouggieart on EtsyCheck out even more edouggieart on Instagram

Today, President Donald Trump plans to take his first trip outside Washington since taking office, visiting North Carolina and California to assess disaster recovery efforts. California Bureau Chief Christopher Cadelago chats with Playbook Deputy Editor Zack Stanton on whether to expect a sympathetic or confrontational Trump, and how Gov. Gavin Newsom might navigate their relationship of frequent high-profile disagreements and occasional lower-profile cooperation. Plus, Defense secretary nominee Pete Hegseth looks likely to be confirmed by the Senate tonight, despite opposition from Republican Senators Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski.

While the game's page on Steam remains, you'll no longer find an 'Add to Cart' button. Anyone who wants to play Horizon Zero Dawn on PC now must pre-purchase Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, assuming they do not already own the 2020 release. Among a few enhancements, such as rerecorded dialogue and updated animations, the sticking point here is the remaster's requirement of a PlayStation Network account. PSN is a service only officially available in a handful of countries, which means that the remaster is now unavailable for purchase in over 170 countries.

Who Sucks Less

Rob, Patrick, and Cado are psyched to be joined by Bloomberg's Jason Schreier, who's also the author of an upcoming book about the complicated legacy and uncertain future of Blizzard. With Janet traveling, the rest of the group mulls the strange blowup at Annapurna Interactive and the equally strange and crypto-infused return of Flappy Bird. Both Patrick and Jason have spent time with the audacious UFO 50, while Jason, sadly, hasn't exactly been blown away by The Lucky Squire. Rob, meanwhile, is busy managing a never ending winter in Frostpunk 2. At the very end, we indulge in some light sports, given that Jason is a long suffering fan of the Jets.Discussed: Annapurna Interactive Staff Resign Enmasse 5:21, Flappy Bird is Back? 18:20, Frostpunk 2 39:36, The Plucky Squire 1:03:56, UFO 50 1:05:28, Play Nice 1:17:08, Outro and Announcementnts 1:55:29See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
