On this week's show, Steve, Dana, and Julia merge their consciousnesses—so to speak—to reflect on Pluribus, the latest television saga from Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan. In this unlikely body snatchers/sci-fi mashup, Rhea Seehorn plays a woman intent on saving the world from… eternal happiness? What exactly it needs saving from—or if it needs saving at all—is fodder for much discourse. Next, they turn to the ruminative and funny family drama Sentimental Value, directed by Norwegian auteur Joachim Trier and starring Stellan Skarsgård and Renate Reinsve. Finally, they take a look at a recent piece in The Ankler by Richard Rushfield crunching the numbers to reveal that, since #MeToo, troublingly few major films have been directed by women. In an exclusive Slate Plus bonus episode, it's time to party! Or rather, it's time for a reflective discussion about parties as pieces of personal culture.  Endorsements Dana: Reading up on the historical figure Jean Ross, the writer and activist who inspired both the song “These Foolish Things (Remind Me of You)” and the character Sally Bowles of Goodbye to Berlin/Cabaret notoriety.

Title: Languaging in Hampton RoadsEpisode 20: How to Talk Like a Revolutionary: Be polite!Hosts: Jill Winkowski and Prue SalaskyDate: Oct. 31, 2025Length: 43 minutesPublication Frequency: Fourth Friday (approx) of each monthColonial Williamsburg, the restored Colonial capital (until 1780) of Virginia lies at the northwestern edge of Hampton Roads, part of a historic triangle with Yorktown and Jamestown. Since it opened as “the world's largest U.S. history museum” in the 1930s, it has been telling the story of the Founding Fathers and the American Revolution. To learn about all its tours, programs, activities and educational programs, go to www.colonialwilliamsburg.org.In this episode we explore how CW's use of 18th century language contributes to understanding the men and women who drove revolutionary change in the turbulent years before and after the American Revolution. We learn about the distinctive features of speech at the time of the Declaration of Independence, whose 250th anniversary is next year, 2026. We talk to Cathleene Hellier, senior historian at the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, who authored the book, “18th Century English as a Second Language” (2011, out of print). She discusses the hundreds of primary sources she used to understand how language has changed over the past 250 years and its significance.  We shared the book with humanities scholar Clay Jenkinson, host of Listening to America (formerly The Thomas Jefferson Hour) on NPR, https://ltamerica.org/ and the country's best-known Thomas Jefferson impersonator. He details the textbook's relevant points and describes his own literature-based method of conveying the thoughts of the nation's third president.  CW's  Nation Builders program offers first-person interpretations of 18th century Virginians, both the well-known, such as Thomas Jefferson and George Washington, and the lesser-known, including a preacher, a teacher, and a barkeep, all of  whose lives impacted the community.We attended a Nation Builders performance at the Kimball Theatre, with Stephen Seals portraying James (Armistead) Lafayette, a formerly enslaved African-American who earned his freedom for his spying services for the Patriots during the Revolutionary War; and Robert Weathers, who represents George Wythe, a jurist, scholar, and signer of the Declaration of Independence. Hellier addresses the difficulties in portraying African-American history in the Colonial period and details the extensive research she's done into the language varieties of the time. She's a contributor to enslaved.org, a database of information regarding enslaved people worldwide. She touts the importance of the Virginia Gazette newspaper as a source (digitized copies are available on the CW website, www.colonialwilliamsburg.org.) We're reminded too of the newspaper resources collected by the Library of Virginia, https://www.lva.virginia.gov/collections/digital-collectionsAnd the Valentine Museum in Richmond has a rich repository of African-American history, https://thevalentine.org/Check out our website, languagingHR.wordpress.com.

Send us a textPressure has a way of revealing what systems are really made of. We start with a bruising week and widen the lens: from alleged deodorant burns and the surge in hair relaxer lawsuits, to NHS resident doctors preparing to strike for pay and staffing, to the silent epidemic of “polite” horrible bosses who weaponise calm and call it leadership. The through line is accountability—of brands, employers, and all of us—to act with care when our choices touch other people's bodies, budgets, and futures.I share why our website will go offline briefly as we rebuild the back end, refresh masterclasses, and add guidance on using AI well. Too many of us try to outsource thinking to ChatGPT and get caught out; I'll show you how to use AI as an assistant, not a replacement. We speak frankly about the real cost of creating quality products as a small business, why discounts aren't a birthright, and how fair pricing keeps the lights on. If you love great stationery and practical career tools, you'll see how that vision is taking shape.Then we get tactical about work. The shouty boss is out; the nice-nasty manager is in. They smile, check on wellbeing, and quietly move the goalposts. Here's how to protect yourself: keep a burn folder, track patterns, mirror the politeness while holding firm boundaries, and use precise language when you push back. Employment protections are expanding, but your evidence is the bridge between harm and remedy. I also open up about ADHD and dyslexia—time blindness, memory gaps, and the systems that help me build: tightly scoped lists, device-based reminders, visual planners, and long blocks for deep work.We close with a sober look at a fatal hit-and-run and the duty that comes with a licence: if you're impaired, don't drive; if you hit anything or anyone, stop.

Michael #1: Cyclopts: A CLI library A CLI library that fixes 13 annoying issues in Typer Much of Cyclopts was inspired by the excellent Typer library. Despite its popularity, Typer has some traits that I (and others) find less than ideal. Part of this stems from Typer's age, with its first release in late 2019, soon after Python 3.8's release. Because of this, most of its API was initially designed around assigning proxy default values to function parameters. This made the decorated command functions difficult to use outside of Typer. With the introduction of Annotated in python3.9, type-hints were able to be directly annotated, allowing for the removal of these proxy defaults. The 13: Argument vs Option Positional or Keyword Arguments Choices Default Command Docstring Parsing Decorator Parentheses Optional Lists Keyword Multiple Values Flag Negation Help Defaults Validation Union/Optional Support Adding a Version Flag Documentation Brian #2: The future of Python web services looks GIL-free Giovanni Barillari “Python 3.14 was released at the beginning of the month. This release was particularly interesting to me because of the improvements on the "free-threaded" variant of the interpreter. Specifically, the two major changes when compared to the free-threaded variant of Python 3.13 are: Free-threaded support now reached phase II, meaning it's no longer considered experimental The implementation is now completed, meaning that the workarounds introduced in Python 3.13 to make code sound without the GIL are now gone, and the free-threaded implementation now uses the adaptive interpreter as the GIL enabled variant. These facts, plus additional optimizations make the performance penalty now way better, moving from a 35% penalty to a 5-10% difference.” Lots of benchmark data, both ASGI and WSGI Lots of great thoughts in the “Final Thoughts” section, including “On asynchronous protocols like ASGI, despite the fact the concurrency model doesn't change that much – we shift from one event loop per process, to one event loop per thread – just the fact we no longer need to scale memory allocations just to use more CPU is a massive improvement. ” “… for everybody out there coding a web application in Python: simplifying the concurrency paradigms and the deployment process of such applications is a good thing.” “… to me the future of Python web services looks GIL-free.” Michael #3: Free-threaded GC The free-threaded build of Python uses a different garbage collector implementation than the default GIL-enabled build. The Default GC: In the standard CPython build, every object that supports garbage collection (like lists or dictionaries) is part of a per-interpreter, doubly-linked list. The list pointers are contained in a PyGC_Head structure. The Free-Threaded GC: Takes a different approach. It scraps the PyGC_Head structure and the linked list entirely. Instead, it allocates these objects from a special memory heap managed by the "mimalloc" library. This allows the GC to find and iterate over all collectible objects using mimalloc's data structures, without needing to link them together manually. The free-threaded GC does NOT support "generations” By marking all objects reachable from these known roots, we can identify a large set of objects that are definitely alive and exclude them from the more expensive cycle-finding part of the GC process. Overall speedup of the free-threaded GC collection is between 2 and 12 times faster than the 3.13 version. Brian #4: Polite lazy imports for Python package maintainers Will McGugan commented on a LI post by Bob Belderbos regarding lazy importing “I'm excited about this PEP. I wrote a lazy loading mechanism for Textual's widgets. Without it, the entire widget library would be imported even if you needed just one widget. Having this as a core language feature would make me very happy.” https://github.com/Textualize/textual/blob/main/src/textual/widgets/__init__.py Well, I was excited about Will's example for how to, essentially, allow users of your package to import only the part they need, when they need it. So I wrote up my thoughts and an explainer for how this works. Special thanks to Trey Hunner's Every dunder method in Python, which I referenced to understand the difference between __getattr__() and __getattribute__(). Extras Brian: Started writing a book on Test Driven Development. Should have an announcement in a week or so. I want to give folks access while I'm writing it, so I'll be opening it up for early access as soon as I have 2-3 chapters ready to review.

Our cup of coffee discussion focuses on polite truths and how to teach our kids the difference between a lie that can hurt someones feelings or a lie that can spare someones feelings.  We discuss in depth white (harmless) lies vs matter of fact truths and polite truths.  Teaching our kids how to filter their thoughts is next level parenting.  "Think about how someone will feel if you say this" and practicing different solutions will help our kids navigate their day as well as their digital life with the goal of maintaining their friendships.Send us a textfinding-moments.com or Etsy Shop

Racism does not always follow the patterns of aggressive behaviour, or outright attempts to violate the human rights and equality of racialized people. A study of the experiences of first- and second-generation Haitian and Jamaican Canadians sheds light on a form of racial exclusion sociologist Dr. Karine Coen-Sanchez calls polite racism. She joins us on our podcast today.

Father Shawn McCain Tirres | October 19, 2025 When's the last time you truly wrestled with God—not with polite prayers, but with honest, frustrated demands? Drawing from Jacob's all-night wrestling match and Jesus's parable of the persistent widow, Fr. Shawn challenges us to embrace a faith that refuses to give up, that's unafraid to get our hands dirty with God. This sermon calls us beyond cynicism and into the kind of stubborn, enduring faith grounded in prayer, scripture, and community that God is actually looking for.

 Most of the people love much more revenge or punishment for a crime than to forgive…Our No is much stronger than our Yes.Our Hate is much stronger than our Love.This is even telling the Srimad Bhagavatam beside that this is 100% science proofed… Even you don't believe that, why are seeing people much more crime and horror movies than love stories? Because people enjoy seeing crime/brutality over love!There is a study about of Equitable Retribution from the Ohio UniversityThe people love to punish more for what they have got on punishment…This means: Forgiveness is worse, Equally, punishment is too less…Stories with over punishment are the most liked stories…And Stories with forgiveness are not liked at all…How can people live together with such concepts…?I am as usual the worst…For instance, a previous girlfriend has recently cheated on me. She should make the registration for my car and got good money for that… I waited over 3 months and wanted my registration done or the Car-book without registration… Without a Car-book, I can't insure my car again. Even worse, she needed, again and again, my help and wanted more and more money for the registration. I remained calm and forgiving because I am mad or worse…?Finally, I went to the police to sort the problem out and it worked out…I had luck, that I got the translation of my description of this case in Thai for free, even from an unknown Thai-girl. And I got a great communication expert from the police (the highest-ranking police officer, about my age) who could genius solve this problem to this time… What I learned, is that don't put the delinquent under pressure.This is exactly the teaching of the very best FBI interviewer and best body language expert, Joe Navarro. You should be as an interviewer or as parents:1. Polite.2. Friendly. 3. Respectful.4. Relaxed. 5. And forgiving!!!!And this is the opposite that most people are thinking and doing!!! Instead to be resentful like stupid Trump, be forgiving and polite to gain control even in the worst situations. The younger police officer, a woman tried always to prove that my previous girlfriend was wrong and this didn't work out… So the Chief overtook the phone call and made an appointment with her… And I got my old Car-book back. My Video: Forgive and Revenge… https://youtu.be/SATlMDZjNrgMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast1/Forgive-and-Revenge….mp3   

Today we are sharing a coaching session where Eric discusses the concept of "polite lies" in the context of sales, particularly for contractors. These lies, such as "let me think about it" or "I need to talk to my wife," are presented as symptoms of poor communication and a lack of trust or perceived value created by the salesperson. Eric emphasizes that contractors often fail to secure a deal because they talk too much, do not listen effectively, or do not build an adequate emotional connection with the prospect, leading to uncertainty and the prospect's polite evasion. The conversation highlights the value of consistent training and self-awareness to correct these mistakes, with participants sharing personal stories to illustrate how improved communication techniques, such as asking open-ended questions and prioritizing listening, can successfully "flip the script" and close sales. Key Takeaways:  Prioritize listening more than speaking to effectively address the other person's uncertainties. Use any polite lies you hear as a gauge indicating that you need to work on your communication and self-awareness. Clearly outline processes and procedures so that others gain clarity on what comes next. Help others create urgency by asking them about the consequences of delaying their decision or project. Build genuine connections by allowing people to talk and share their stories rather than boasting about your awards or history.

Polite French is a travel cheat code. A single “Excusez-moi” can turn a hurried barista into a guide, a packed metro into a clear path, and a confused check into a smile and “l'addition” arriving without fuss. We sat down with Paul, a French native, to break down simple phrases and cultural nuances that make moving through France, Belgium, and other French-speaking regions easier, friendlier, and a lot more delicious.We start with the essentials: when to use bonjour versus bonsoir, why vous signals respect, and how “Excusez-moi, parlez-vous anglais ?” softens almost any interaction. From there, we get practical. You'll learn how to ask for help (Aidez-moi, s'il vous plaît), admit confusion (Je ne comprends pas), and get un-stuck quickly (Je suis perdu, Où est…?). We also cover the basics that save time and stress—finding les toilettes, asking for l'eau, and navigating taxis with a simple Où allez-vous and a pointed map. Along the way, Paul shares why effort matters more than perfect pronunciation and how a calm tone, a nod, and “s'il vous plaît” transform the whole vibe.Food lovers, this one's for you. We walk through ordering at cafés and bakeries: Je voudrais du pain, s'il vous plaît, un café, du thé, and the great national debate between pain au chocolat and chocolatine. You'll learn how to ask for the check with grace, spot the difference between a boulangerie, boucherie, and fromagerie, and even request a taste of cheese without overstepping. We wrap with easy goodbyes—Au revoir and À bientôt—so you leave every encounter on a warm note.Ready to travel lighter and connect deeper?

Krystal and Dedric Polite are real estate investors and stars of A&E's 50/50 Flip, where they transform rundown properties while building generational wealth. Based in North Carolina, the couple launched their real estate journey with a single Airbnb and have since flipped over 100 properties. Their success blends Krystal's expertise in systems and marketing with Dedric's skills in acquisitions and finance. Starting with wholesaling and using tools like DealMachine, they identified off-market deals and turned early setbacks into profitable lessons. Today, they run multiple businesses and a nonprofit, focusing on sustainable growth and educating aspiring investors through seminars and media appearances. Outside of business, the Polites are raising two young boys and remain passionate about inspiring others to achieve financial freedom through real estate. Their mission: build wealth, uplift their community, and show others what's possible—one property at a time.

Hey there! It's Michael here — and welcome back to another Happy English Sunday Speak. Every Sunday, I'll be here with a quick one-point tip to help you speak English more naturally. Now, sometimes in English we need to say “no,” but just saying no can sound too direct or even a little rude. So let's look at some casual, yet polite, natural ways to say no.If someone invites you to do something and you don't want to, you can say:“I'll pass.” Like, Want to come out for karaoke tonight? → Thanks, I'll pass.“Not really my thing.” Like, do you want to go bouldering? → Nah, That's not really my thing.And one that I like to use all the time is “It's not my cup of tea.” Like, Everyone's watching that new horror movie, but scary films are not my cup of tea.So, I'll pass,  It's not really my thing, and It's not my cult of tea. When you need to refuse or decline something, these all sound softer, more polite, and very natural. So how about you? What's something that's Not your cup of tea?

Mom and Dad head to a dinner party, leaving an 11-year-old, her best friend, and an arthritic terrier to polish off popcorn and late-night movies in the basement. Nothing unusual—until the dog erupts into frantic barking and, an hour later, the girls emerge to find the solid-oak front door flung wide open, the house untouched, and a single corner of Mom's pristine bedspread mysteriously folded down. No wind, no footprints, no missing jewelry—just a freshly chilled living room and two kids too scared to dial 911. Was it a burglar with obsessive-compulsive tendencies…or a polite poltergeist who prefers doors over walls?
