Florida's new DeSantis‑backed $250,000 homestead exemption could erase non‑school property taxes on many primary homes, with $250K condos paying almost nothing. PBD, Tom, and Pomp break down who actually benefits, why Florida and Texas can cut taxes without cutting services, and why high‑tax states like New York and California keep losing residents.

Steve Palazzolo from the 33rd Team joined the show. Steve thinks that the Steelers are slightly improved from last year, citing the receivers as a big reason for that. He also says that Rodgers will look to take more shots down field this year. Steve says that it is important to have linemen that can play multiple positions, as teams will almost certainly face injuries on the line throughout the season. KDKA TV's Bob Pompeani joined the show. Pomp thinks that Troy Fautanu will be the starting LT at the beginning of the season. He also says that the linebackers are going to have to show improvement and the defense is going to have to start playing like the highest paid defense in the league if the Steelers want to be any good this year. Pomp thinks that Victor Wembanyama will be the greatest basketball player of all time if he stays healthy throughout his career. Donny Football Debrief – The Steelers released their training camp schedule for 2026.

Hour 1 of the Thursday Bob Rose Show, on back-to-back state visits to China by the leaders of the US and Russia. Pres. Trump left with Xi agreeing to agricultural and aeronautical deals. China rolled out the same ceremonial show for Russia, but made no economic agreements. And Putin was not happy. Plus, all the morning's biggest stories for 5-21-26

Hour 1: Austin Bechtold in for the guys today! Is Don Kelly officially on the hot seat after another bad Pirates loss? Why was Livvy Dunne on The Tonight Show last week? Could Steelers-Ravens be played internationally at some point? And Austin and Dom argue over what Pittsburgh should do with the Draft clock. Hour 2: Matt Clement joins the show for the full hour! How much blame should Don Kelly shoulder for the Pirates' struggles? Should Jared Jones become the new Pirates' closer? And is Bob Pompeani avoiding Austin? Hour 3: Callers debate what the biggest problem with the Steelers is right now. Dom reviews the new Obsession movie. And Mark Kaboly joins the show to recap Day 2 of Steelers OTAs. Hour 4: Will the Steelers have a top-five defense this year? Dom calls out Pablo Torre for trying to expose Oz Pearlman. And Jason Mackey joins the show to discuss what's going wrong with the Pirates right now.

von Anna Wallner. Donald Trump wurde in Peking mit großem Pomp empfangen und genau das war Teil der chinesischen Strategie, sagt „Presse“-Korrespondent Fabian Kretschmer in Seoul. Er erklärt, warum Xi Jinping den „Trump-Code“ geknackt haben dürfte, weshalb Taiwan der heikelste Punkt dieses Treffens war und warum China aus dem Gipfel stärker hervorgegangen ist als die USA.

KDKA TV's Bob Pompeani joined the show. We reacted as the Pirates defeated the Rockies, 7-2, to take the series at PNC Park. Bob credited Endy Rodriguez for his work in the first game of the season, getting 2 hits in his 2026 debut. Bob said he's not a fan of the ‘opener' method, but it worked out for Don Kelly and his club today. What do we think the future looks like for Jared Jones that is working through his rehab assignment? Attendance of over 19k today in the afternoon finale at PNC Park just days after barely 13k watched Paul Skenes dazzle. Pomp said fans have good reason to not be there in droves just yet after so much losing baseball in the last 3 decades. The guys peppered Bob on a few questions about the NFL schedule.

Drew Allar is going under a total reboot courtesy of Mike McCarthy. Is that a bad sign for the rookie QB? What does it say about the teachings at Penn State? If Aaron Rodgers is their guy this year, when will we really know if this work has paid off for Allar? The guys don't want that to impact their plans in the 2027 NFL Draft.

Joe is sick of all of the Aaron Rodgers nonsense. Do people still care? Calls on Rodgers. We dive into 18 wheeler truck drivers. Did anyone actually see Rodgers this weekend? An expert on the Rodgers/McCarthy dynamic doesn't think this will end well. Callers aren't happy about Rodgers. Another truck driver calls who delivers diesel fuel. Nick Farabaugh joins to discuss Tony Hawk, how the Green Bay tenure ended between Rodgers and McCarthy, what's the alternative to bringing back Rodgers, revisiting how badly the Steelers fared in the first quarter of playoff games under Tomlin, can Allar become clutch if he wasn't born with that trait, where could the rookie offensive lineman factor in. Could the Steelers defense be top 10? What does Jamel Dean add to the secondary? Will this be Herbig's final season with the Steelers? John Perrotto discusses the Pirates good start, if the team is good enough to make the playoffs, how good Konnor Griffin can be, is Cruz inching closer to reaching his potential, the job that Don Kelly has done in his first year, the three greatest Pirates of all-time (Wagner, Clemente, Waner), what is Henry Davis' future? Kyle Dubas spoke today and it certainly sounds like Malkin will be back. How does Malkin's situation compare to Aaron Rodgers and Andrew McCutchen. Did the fans help shape the decision to likely bring him back? Callers are happy to bring back Geno. What would the Pens look like if they kept Jake Guentzel. Michael McKenry hops on to discuss the return of Jared Jones, what some of the relievers need to clean up, if Joey Bart is emerging as the best option at catcher, why Cruz is thriving against lefties this year, is Pittsburgh becoming a hotbed for baseball talent, is Skenes going to finish with a sub 2.00 ERA again? What can Bubba Chandler learn from Skenes? Is it possible for the Pirates to sign Skenes? We listen to Kyle Dubas' comments. Famous sports birthdays and deaths.

This episode of CoinDesk's Public Keys at the NYSE features three conversations with the most closely watched voices in crypto's institutional moment. ProCap Financial founder Anthony Pompliano argues that 75% of crypto companies "aren't going to be here in five years," and lays out the four areas he believes will survive — Bitcoin, equity infrastructure, stablecoins, and tokenization. Angus Fletcher, Head of Digital Assets at State Street, breaks down how the $30 trillion-plus custody bank is building the bridge between traditional finance and tokenized markets, including a new tokenized fund service launching from Luxembourg by the end of 2026. Plus, SharpLink CEO Joseph Chalom on the publicly traded Ethereum treasury company's 46% institutional ownership, why permanent ETH capital is reshaping on-chain finance, and why he believes ETH's risk/reward "has never been better." - Timecodes: 00:00 Welcome to Public Keys at NYSE 00:14 Pomp on 75% of Crypto Being "Dead and Never Coming Back" 02:30 The Four Survivors: Bitcoin, Infrastructure, Stablecoins, Tokenization 04:30 Ghost Chains and Why Crypto Needs to Grow Up 05:30 BlackRock Is Now a Bitcoin Company 09:00 Pomp on Prediction Markets and ETFs as "Biggest New Category" 12:30 State Street's Angus Fletcher Joins 14:30 Why Traditional and Digital Will Run Together 17:00 Regulatory Clarity as a Stamp of Approval 18:30 State Street Picks Luxembourg for Tokenized Funds 20:30 SharpLink CEO Joseph Chalom on Ethereum as Infrastructure 23:30 Permanent ETH Capital and Institutional Standards 26:30 Why Stablecoins Will Outpace Bitcoin Payments 31:00 Chalom: ETH Risk/Reward "Never Been Better" - This episode was hosted by Jennifer Sanasie.

Aaron Rodgers is supposedly in Pittsburgh this weekend. Where would this put the Steelers in the AFC hierarchy? Callers weigh in on the Steelers outlook for 2026. Can Rodgers mentor Howard to unlock his potential? Another caller makes a Three Stooges joke. Even if Rodgers returns, the Steelers could be a bottom 10 QB room in the league. Reacting to Ian Rapoport's latest update on Aaron Rodgers. The Steelers rookies jersey numbers are out, and Limits is annoyed by a few of them. Rookie mini camp begins today. A caller thinks the Steelers roster is better around the QB this upcoming campaign. Chris Mack broke some news today with Omar Khan, as the GM said he doesn't know where Aaron Rodgers is right now. Ray Fittipaldo joins to discuss the latest on the whereabouts of Aaron Rodgers, the rookies' jersey numbers and how it will likely change in a few months, Eli Heidenreich's outlook, what questions remain on the Steelers defense under Patrick Graham, why isn't Will Howard at rookie mini camp? Will the Steelers lock up a player to an extension within the next month? A discussion about pinkie injuries. Austin is very high on Germie Bernard. He could become the No. 2 WR as early as this year. Would JuJu or Emmanuel Sanders be good comps? Will Broderick Jones play this year? Brandon Lowe has been the most important offseason acquisition for the Buccos since AJ Burnett and Russell Martin. His numbers have been great. Calls on Lowe. Do the Pirates have a closer right now? Should the Pirates extend Cruz now? The Bechtold Breakdown with Sean Meyers - NFL refs have a new contract, a fan will make $50K to watch every World Cup game, which NHL or NBA series are worth watching, the inaugural flag football champions. Bob Walk joins to discuss the Pirates success on the road recently, some of the issues against lefties, Mitch Keller's strong start, Skenes not going the distance in Arizona, where Bob ranks Lowe in recent acquisitions, the closer situation. The NFL schedule reveal is coming. Will the Steelers have an international game? Alien talk. The Pirates head to San Fran tonight.

Ben Cherington's stock is on the rise. The difference from a year ago at this time is remarkable. Skenes, Griffin, and Seth Hernandez all seem like A+ picks. Even Bob Nutting is looking smart for keeping Cherington. Are we convinced the Pirates are a good team? Callers chime in on Cherington and are relatively positive. Cherington failed last year, but the good outweighs the bad right now. Don Kelly has done a good job and is inching close to .500. Another caller is not willing to give Cherington credit just yet. Nick Farabaugh joins to discuss the Pirates. Joe did a Twitter poll about who the people want as Steelers QB in 2026, and it's Will Howard leading the way. Why isn't Allar getting as much support? Why are the Steelers aggravating Aaron Rodgers? Did Rodgers have any influence over the draft? Can the Bengals make a huge jump? The Athletic thinks they could win the Super Bowl. Nick can see Cincy winning the AFC North. What could the Ravens look like? What happens at QB wtih the Browns? How does Nick rank the AFC North? Nick predicts Aaron Rodgers shows up just before mandatory mini-camp (May 30th perhaps). Do fans want Malkin back? Does he deserve a farewell tour? He led the Pens in points per game this season. Why don't some view Malkin's career similarly to Crosby's? Callers give their take on if they want Malkin back. A caller with a name that seems like a prank calls in and it's not a prank. Will Sid sign an extension? Joe is curious about AI. The Limitless Express with Sean - Don Kelly suspended, the Steelers mocked to take another QB in 2027, Oneil Cruz has an MVP candidate. Michael McKenry joins to discuss Bubba Chandler's struggles, the suspenions of Chris Devenski and Don Kelly, his expeiernces getting thrown at as a batter, Konnor Griffin heating up - what adjustments he's made, Cruz as an MVP candidate, how the Pirates have used the ABS system. Overtime playoff hockey is always good, but Joe would make a tweak. Does Tarik Skubal's injury impact Skenes' contract. A question about Kenny Pickett.

Steve Palazzolo from the 33rd Team joined the show. The early 2027 mock drafts have Drew Mestemaker going to the Steelers – Steve expects people to know about him in the upcoming college football season. Steve got into the portal movement a little bit and what can be at stake for Mestemaker if he turns Oklahoma State back into a relevant program. Steve likes the tools for Max Iheanachor, but pointed out that he has plenty to clean up. Steve really likes the Germie Bernard pick. Steve didn't give a ton of praise on Drew Allar, but he's always been one of the guys that votes to always take a QB. He admitted he would have waited another round or so on Allar because he never took that next step in college. Steve thinks the Steelers got really good value on Gennings Dunker at 96th overall. How impactful will Kaden Wetjen be on the Steelers roster? Steve loved the Eli Heidenreich selection as their final pick. Did Steve know anything about Gabe Rubio? As much as Steve likes Heidenreich, he hopes people temper the Christian McCaffrey comparisons. Steve said he would roll with the young guys at QB in Pittsburgh and not worry about Aaron Rodgers KDKA TV's Bob Pompeani joined the show. Bob gave his thoughts on the end of the Penguins season and noted that it was ‘weird' that Sidney Crosby was quick in & out after the game last night. Pomp believes Evgeni Malkin will be back next season. Will Kris Letang be back to complete the Big 3? The guys asked Bob about a few others that may or may not be back. Would Geno actually go to the Caps if the Penguins don't re-sign him? Bob pondered Alex Ovechkin coming to Pittsburgh. How will Aaron Rodgers react to the UFA tender laid down by the Steelers? Donny Football Debrief – Viewership down 14% from 2025 to 2026 with the NFL Draft. Big deal or just no intrigue on the second and third day, like Shedeur Sanders falling? 2026 is still the third-most watched draft ever, behind 2020 (COVID) and 2025.

Pendant longtemps, le polybolos a été considéré comme une curiosité théorique, décrite dans des traités antiques mais jamais observée concrètement. Cette arme grecque, attribuée à l'ingénieur Philon de Byzance au IIIe siècle avant notre ère, aurait été capable de tirer plusieurs projectiles de manière automatique — une prouesse technologique sans équivalent à l'époque.Le principe du polybolos est ingénieux. Il s'agit d'une sorte de baliste améliorée (comme une arbalète géante) , équipée d'un mécanisme d'alimentation automatique. Grâce à un système de chaîne et de manivelle, l'arme pouvait enchaîner les tirs sans rechargement manuel entre chaque projectile. Des billes ou des carreaux étaient stockés dans un chargeur vertical, puis introduits successivement dans le mécanisme de tir. À chaque rotation, la corde était tendue, relâchée, puis réarmée, permettant une cadence de tir bien supérieure aux armes classiques.Malgré ces descriptions précises, aucun exemplaire n'avait jamais été retrouvé. Pendant des décennies, de nombreux historiens ont douté de son existence réelle, estimant qu'il s'agissait peut-être d'une exagération ou d'un prototype jamais déployé.C'est là que Pompéi entre en scène. Lors de fouilles récentes, des archéologues ont identifié des séries d'impacts très particuliers sur certaines structures. Ces marques présentent une régularité et une densité qui ne correspondent pas aux armes connues de l'époque, comme les balistes classiques. Les impacts sont alignés, rapprochés, et semblent résulter d'une succession rapide de tirs — un indice fort en faveur d'une arme à répétition.Les analyses balistiques suggèrent une cadence de tir élevée pour l'époque, probablement plusieurs projectiles en quelques secondes. À l'échelle antique, c'est considérable. Cela confirme l'hypothèse que le polybolos n'était pas seulement une invention théorique, mais une arme fonctionnelle, capable d'être utilisée dans un contexte réel.Ce type d'arme aurait offert un avantage tactique important. Sur un champ de bataille ou lors d'un siège, une cadence de tir plus élevée permet de saturer une zone, de désorganiser l'ennemi et de maintenir une pression constante. C'est un principe que l'on retrouve aujourd'hui dans les armes automatiques modernes, mais qui était déjà envisagé il y a plus de 2 000 ans.Cependant, le polybolos semble être resté marginal. Sa complexité mécanique, sa fabrication coûteuse et sa maintenance délicate ont probablement limité sa diffusion. Contrairement aux armes plus simples, faciles à produire et à réparer, il n'a pas été adopté à grande échelle.La découverte de ces traces à Pompéi ne constitue pas une preuve directe — aucun exemplaire n'a été retrouvé — mais elle apporte un élément concret à un débat ancien. Elle suggère que les ingénieurs de l'Antiquité avaient atteint un niveau d'innovation bien plus avancé qu'on ne l'imaginait.En somme, le polybolos n'était peut-être pas un mythe… mais une technologie en avance sur son temps.

Ruže pre dámy, guláš zadarmo, prvotriedne ozvučenie a kolóny autobusov, ktoré zvážajú voličov z celého Slovenska. Na prvý pohľad by sa mohlo zdať, že ide o úprimnú oslavu Medzinárodného dňa žien. Lenže v politike nič nie je zadarmo – a pri strane Smer to platí doslova.Zatiaľ čo iné strany po voľbách šetria alebo sa sústredia na parlamentné debaty, Robert Fico neponecháva nič na náhodu. Aj v nevolebnom roku 2025 roztočil Smer miliónový kolotoč marketingu. A keď hovoríme miliónový, myslíme to vážne. Účtovná uzávierka vládnej strany totiž odhalila cifru, ktorá vyráža dych: takmer 1,7 milióna eur investovaných do pódií, hudby a dopravy.Pre porovnanie – je to šesťdesiatkrát viac, než do kontaktu s voličmi investovala koaličná SNS, a sumy, ktoré na kampaň vynakladá opozícia, vyzerajú pri Smere ako drobné na kávu. Ide o politické umenie, alebo si Smer svoju dominanciu jednoducho kupuje cez pompézne akcie, ktoré si nikto iný nemôže dovoliť?

Recording from Los Angeles is Sequoia Holmes (Black People Love Paramore) on the West Coast of the U.S. Dimitry Pompée (Eurovangelists) joins the conversation from the D.C. area on the East Coast. And nearly 4000 miles east of him, is Ella McLeod (Comfort Creatures) from London. The trio share what it's like behind the scenes, how they got into podcasting, and what they all have in common. Plus, the various challenges they've encountered making their shows.

Poni had a list – a list of 10 names the Steelers could write on their draft card next Thursday night, according to someone connected to the team. With this being the first draft sans Mike Tomlin, things may operate a little differently than years past. There are some scenarios that the Steelers could move up or down, so it may not even be the name that is definitively chosen at 21st overall. The list included names of guys we have talked about for months, a few we've talked about a little bit, and a few that would require the Steelers to trade up that we haven't mentioned much at all in a realistic sense. Is Omar Khan bound for another big swing? Is it far fetched to think the Steelers will make the big splash and trade up for someone like Tate? It's hard to go wrong with an Ohio State WR. KDKA TV's Bob Pompeani joined the show. Poni has a bone to pick with Bob and KDKA TV right away due to their countdown of WPIAL players drafted into the NFL. Does Rob Gronkowski belong on a list like that? We poked for a few other names on or off the list. Terrelle Pryor was left off the list due to being selected in the supplemental draft. Pomp does get the feel that the Steelers will draft a QB next weekend. Bob is starting to get a little sense that it's not a foregone conclusion Aaron Rodgers returns to Pittsburgh. Bob reacted to LIV golf close to shutting down operations. Donny Football Debrief – The NFL has released the current & former players that will be announcing picks next weekend on the second night of the draft.
