The Atlantic asks, “What's the Point of a HS Reunion?” President Trump declares “the woke agenda is practically gone,” but the left is never going to be defeated. Senator Tammy Duckworth tries, yet again, to bait Trump – and he resists, showing growth. MSNBC's Tim O'Brien and NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani suddenly pretend the left cares about democracy. Norway's socialists promised their wealth tax would collect $54 billion from the ultra-rich. Instead, revenues plunged $594 million – a net decrease of $448 million.

I do my best debating with… the empty passenger seat. Call it car therapy: caffeine, sunrise, and 60 mph turn pretend arguments into real clarity. You can just throw it out of your mouth and get real-time feedback from yourself to edit out the dumb.Not every problem gets solved before the next exit, but a new perspective shows up easily. The motion of the car moving you through time and space simultaneously gives an impression of flying through a thick invisible cloud full of ideas, and you just scoop them up as you go. You just kinda go into auto-pilot and let your mind wander and soon enough you have everything figured out.Sometimes you have to yell into the abyss, but then you feel better. That crazy shit you shouldn't say in public is within the confines of your car and you can tell yourself, "Glad no one heard that."

Hour 2 Audio from WGIG-AM and FM in Brunswick, GA

According to recent reporting by Taylor Lorenz in Wired, a secretive dark money group is funding influencers to post pro-Democratic Party messaging on social media services - paying them up to $8,000 per month to do so and holding them to a secretive contract that prevents them from even revealing their relationship to the organization Chorus, backed by the Sixteen Thirty Fund.Some of those named as affiliated with the program including Brian Tyler Cohen, Olivia Julianna, David Pakman and Pod Save America's Jon Favreau have posted uncannily similar response statements and videos attacking everything except the facts of the article. Kenneth Walden, behind the account 2RawTooReal, wasn't even listed in the article but posted an attack video saying “Apparently, we're not allowed to bash Democrats or actually give them any type of constructive criticism. However, I swear I be on damn Bernie Sanders' ass like flies on —.” The ironies abound, and the dismissals of the story have fallen flat.Democrats fully recognize that they need to appeal to young voters, those who are most influenced by social media.  According to Berkeley Political Review, “Biden won youth (ages 18 to 29) voters by 24 points [in 2020], but Harris only led Trump by 11 points [in 2024].” The damning statistics don't necessarily reflect that young people are actually getting more conservative, but likely that they're more aware of a corrupt system in which both parties promote more cops, defend genocide and send ICE after innocent people.Support the show

Tyler Fehrman went undercover to bring down the Speaker of the Ohio House. He wore a wire. He met with mentors who turned into suspects. He risked everything. This is the story of how one political insider helped expose a billion-dollar corruption scheme at the heart of Ohio politics. Part two will be available on Patreon and PRETEND+ this weekend.

On this week's TLO Headlines, Aaron and Matt dive into China's bizarre new trend: young people paying to pretend they have jobs just to ease the stigma of unemployment. They also unpack ICE's eye-catching $50,000 sign-on bonuses and student loan perks in a massive recruitment drive, and break down how AI impostors are fooling hiring systems—forcing companies to drag interviews back in-person. Along the way, they explore what these stories reveal about work, identity, and trust in a rapidly shifting job market.

In this episode we chat about Netflix's Marvel's Jessica Jones! Season 3 Episode 6 - AKA Sorry Face You can find the complete plot on Wikipedia here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jessica_Jones_(season_3)#Episodes)

In this episode, Mike Kosak explains what threat intelligence really is (Mike's former boss said you have to “rub some thinking on it.”), how to define priority intelligence requirements (PIRs), how to treat model, where to find threat intel, and how to keep in actionable with tight feedback loops—not panic. Key takeaways:Threat intel ≠ data. It's analyzed info focused “walls-out” (what's outside your org), then shared clearly so people can act.Start with PIRs. Ask: What are we protecting? What is most valuable to our company? What might threat actors want? How do they operate? What do we need to know to defend? Do this with a broad set of stakeholders, not just the security team.Communicate clearly and with context. Intelligence is only valuable if it's shared in a way others can understand and act on. Avoid overwhelming people with raw data or inducing panic — provide actionable insights that are right-sized for the audience. Mike's advice: “As a threat intelligence analyst, if you're doing your job right, when somebody hears from you they know they need to act on it. You don't want to be the chicken little where you make everybody freak out about everything.”Start small and iterate. Even if you're a one-person team, you can make a big impact. Use free resources (like MITRE ATT&CK, open-source feeds, or even vendor reports), summarize what's relevant, and push that out. Then refine based on feedback—treat it as a continuous cycle, not a one-and-done project. Mike admits, “I always say it's like painting the Golden Gate Bridge. As soon as you get done, you gotta start back at the other end. That's basically what it is.”Mike Kosak is the Senior Principal Intelligence Analyst at Lastpass. Mike references a series of articles he wrote, including “Setting Up a Threat Intelligence Program From Scratch.” https://blog.lastpass.com/posts/setting-up-a-threat-intelligence-program-from-scratch-in-plain-language

Conventional wisdom says that great leaders roll up their sleeves, get in the trenches, and sweat the small stuff. But what if that's only half the story? According to former nuclear submarine captain L. David Marquet and organizational psychologist Michael A. Gillespie, the real superpower of great leaders isn't proximity — it's distance. In their new book, Distancing: How Great Leaders Reframe to Make Better Decisions, they show that stepping back — psychologically, emotionally, imaginatively — helps leaders strip away bias, see what truly matters, and make smarter choices.

Listen now on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube.—Ryan Glasgow is the CEO of Sprig, an AI-native survey platform built to replace legacy tools like Qualtrics. Sprig combines advanced survey capabilities, AI-powered analysis, and an intuitive user experience to help research and product teams get richer insights, faster. Before starting Sprig, Ryan led product at Weebly and Vurb, where he saw how slow, fragmented research workflows could limit product velocity. Today, Sprig is used by companies like Stripe, DoorDash, Notion, and Netflix to run surveys, analyze results instantly with AI, and deliver insights that shape product decisions.In our conversation, we discuss:* How the research community's mindset toward AI has shifted from fear to experimentation.* What it means to treat AI like an eager intern and why that mental model changes everything.* How to break your workflow into “job steps” and plug AI in where it can actually help.* What Sprig is building to support both qual and quant researchers at different levels.* Why sharing raw data with stakeholders (not just summaries) might be the next big unlock for research impact.Some takeaways:* Many teams outside of research are still figuring out what AI is good for. Meanwhile, UXRs are already experimenting with real tasks, like synthesis, survey creation, and study planning, because they've had to. Ryan points out that researchers are becoming internal AI evangelists, getting asked to present their workflows to other departments. The field's willingness to experiment is turning into a quiet leadership moment.* The best way to work with AI? Pretend it's a new intern. It's fast, eager, and can take on a ton but needs oversight, review, and clear direction. That framing unlocks a very different way of thinking: not “Will it replace me?” but “What can I delegate to it so I can focus on higher-impact work?” That shift is showing up in how researchers manage tasks across their workflow.* Before you plug AI into your stack, audit your actual workflow. Break it into steps, like study planning, stakeholder requests, distribution, synthesis, insight sharing, and decide where AI can support. Sprig is built around this approach, helping researchers insert AI at specific job steps. Trying to use one tool for everything often backfires; success comes from surgical fits, not general use.* Sprig is expanding from in-product surveys into long-form survey support with built-in AI features for study creation, open text clustering, and synthesis. Ryan shared how qual researchers use AI to draft surveys, get feedback, and even generate first-pass summaries of open ends. Other tools like Notebook LM and Gamma help researchers do faster analysis and deck creation without skipping the rigor.* One of the most radical ideas Ryan shared: share your raw research data, transcripts, open ends, survey results, so stakeholders can ask their own questions. With tools like ChatGPT or Notebook LM, that data becomes living, queryable insight. It turns research from a static deliverable into an exploratory tool. It also takes the pressure off researchers to have all the answers, all the time.Where to find Ryan:* Website* LinkedIn* XStop piecing it together.

There is nothing morbid or fearful about the thought of death. It is the final equalizer. “Begin with the end in mind,” said Stephen Covey.  PRETEND that your doctor told you that you have two years to live (God forbid). What will you let go or stop doing? What will you regret that you never did? What will you start doing right now?  Sometimes the easiest way to reset a computer is to turn it off and back on again. In life, we can leverage the thought of mortality to reset our priorities. We can simplify and clarify what's important. It lets us see what we missed.  The reminder of our own mortality makes us humble, grateful, peaceful, and focused. It helps us let go of distractions, keep our eyes on the horizon, stay true to ourselves, and rejoice in living. It makes us appreciate our relationships and simple things that we've taken for granted.  To dig more, subscribe to our Newsletter Stay tuned for my next one-minute “Sip of Solace - Thought Leadership Coaching Tips”. - To read it as a half-min blog - To watch it as a 1-minute video ©Joanne Z.

Daily Dose of Hope August 14, 2025   Scripture – Luke 7:36-50   Prayer: Holy God, We come before you today distracted and with scattered thoughts.  Help us focus, Lord, on you and your Word.  Help us, in the next few moments, to be silent, still, and remember that you are God...Thank you, Lord, for your care and concern for our lives.  Thank you for how you show up in amazing and unexpected ways!  We give you glory, Lord Jesus.  In Your Name, Amen.   Welcome to the Daily Dose of Hope, a deep dive into the Gospels and Acts.  Happy Thursday!  Today, we finish up Luke 7.   In today's reading, Simon the Pharisee and the forgiven woman illustrate two different reactions to Jesus. Simon sees Jesus as merely another teacher not even worthy of common courtesy.  He has invited Jesus to dine in his home, but he has not shown the typical forms of hospitality appropriate for an honored guest.  There is no water to wash feet and no kiss of welcome.   The woman, on the other hand, has a radical reaction to Jesus. She reacts with great sacrifice (pouring out the expensive perfume), and undignified affection (wiping his feet with her hair). The woman's reaction flows out of her profound recognition of Jesus forgiveness of her great debt. She is so very, very thankful.  While she is a sinful woman in that area, we don't have any information about her past.  Most scholars believe that this woman was NOT Mary Magdalene, nor is she a prostitute.  What's interesting is that Jesus refuses to play into Simon's judgment of her.  Jesus looks at her with compassion and even possibly appreciation.  She is showing extreme hospitality and generosity, exactly what Simon did not do.   Note that in Luke's version of this story, Jesus can read Simon's unspoken thoughts about Jesus and the woman.  Simon thinks to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would know who is touching him and what kind of woman she is—that she is a sinner.”  So Jesus has an interesting interaction with Simon, directly confronting his thought.  He speaks to Simon about how those who are forgiven much are more thankful and those who feel like they don't need much forgiveness are less grateful for what God has done for them.  Of course, Simon's reaction comes from the fact that he does not believe he needs much forgiveness (i.e. he believes his debt is small). And he believes that all he has, all he has done, comes from his own effort. He's good. He's self-reliant. He might need God but only a little bit.   One of the greatest obstacles to being changed by God is not recognizing our own weaknesses, our own sins, and our own need for inner transformation. But when we recognize how much God has done for us, when we truly understand how much God loves us, how he has forgiven us totally, how all we have comes from him, then and only then do we experience the kind of gratitude and thanksgiving that this woman is demonstrating.   Pretend you were at the banquet, standing along the wall observing. What would your thoughts be about her behavior? What would you want to say to this woman?   Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Este podcast es el primero de una serie donde haremos un repaso de los coches más bonitos por décadas… Y como sé que algunos diréis: “Eso ya se ha hecho antes” vamos a añadir una cierta dificultad: Elegiremos los más bonitos, entre 15 y 20, que por lógica serán casi todos coupés y además las 3 berlinas más bonitas, un descapotable, un TT y uno que destaque por su aportación estilística… y, como fin de fiesta… ¡El vencedor absoluto! ¿Estás preparado? Comienzo por la década de los 60, porque fue una década prodigiosa. Normalmente usó muchas expresiones como “yo estuve allí”, “probe este coche”, “Fui a la presentación de este modelo” … obviamente, en los coches de hoy no es el caso. Quiero destacar que son coches que descubrí a posteriori y a veces mucho después. Cuando comencé a leer revista regularmente con 12+1 años, en 1973, algunos de esos coches ya eran viejos y los he conocido por maquetas, sobre todo de 1/43 y en algunos casos, mucho después, como clásicos. Así que en muchos casos, puede que los tenga idealizados. Pero para lo que nos atañe es igual, porque en esta colección de videos vamos a hablar de estética y diseño, no de “cómo van”. Y ya directamente, como hay ¡muchos!, casi 30, vamos al lío… ¿Estáis preparados para un Maratón de coches bonitos? Pues comenzamos… Categoría absoluta. AC Shelby Cobra (1962). Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale (1967). Alpine A110 (1963). Aston Martin DB5 (1963). Buick Riviera (1963). Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray (1963). Dino Ferrari GT (1967). Ferrari GTO (1962). Ford Mustang (1965). Iso Rivolta Grifo (1963). Jaguar E (1961). Lamborghini Miura (1966). Lancia Fulvia Coupé HF (1966). Maserati Ghibli (1967). Mercedes Benz 280 SL “Pagoda” (1963). Plymouth Barracuda (1964). Porsche 911 (1964). Toyota 2000 GT (1967). Triumph TR6 (1969). Volvo P 1800 (1961). Llegamos a las Berlinas. Aunque alguno de los coches citados los hubo en versiones berlina, vamos con este apartado exclusivo de coche de 4 puertas. Citroën DS (1955). No, no es un error, se presentó en 1955 pero se vendió hasta 1975 y sus mejores momentos fueron en los años 60. Jaguar XJ6 Series (1968). Este XJ6 en cuyo diseño y definición técnica participó el mismismo Sir Williams Lyons fue un éxito en todos los sentidos. Lincoln Continental (1961). Sí, ya sé que, en este coche, en versión sin techo, fue asesinado el presidente Kennedy. Descapotable. Alfa Romeo Spider “Duetto” (1966). Este coche lo conocí en el cine, en la excelente película de “El graduado” donde compartía protagonismo con el jovencísimo Dustin Hoffman. Todo Terreno. Ford Bronco (1966). Me parece que hay TT muy bonitos, como esta primera generación del Bronco de estética “robusta” y que se acompañaba de un motor V8 de 4.7 litros y 205 CV. Mayor aportación de diseño. Mi idea es que en esta categoría tengamos solo un coche, pero esta vez no he podido resistirme y tenemos dos: Citroën Mehari (1968). Mehari es como se dice “dromedario” en árabe. Este coche reunía las cualidades de sencillez y robustez del mítico 2 CV con la practicidad de una carrocería de inspiración náutica y con un diseño único, agradable y diría que moderno… sencillamente, ¡me encanta! Jeep Wagoneer (1963). Te gusten o no, los SUV han llegado para quedarse. Y aunque el Wagoneer no es realmente el primero, si es el primero que tuvo verdadero éxito. Pretendía re unir las cualidades de robustez y línea rotunda propia de los TT con las comodidades de un turismo. Y lo consiguió… y detrás de él vinieron muchos, muchísimos más… hasta nuestros días.

It's Tuesday, August 12th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson 4 of 5 most populated countries hostile to Christianity International Christian Concern reports that now “four of the five most populous countries in the world share a disturbing reality: Christians are systematically and harshly persecuted within their borders.” And we would add that these four nations have stepped up persecution against Christians over the last ten years. The four countries are China with a population of 1.41 billion people, India with a population of 1.46 billion people, Indonesia with a population of 285 million people, and Pakistan with a population of 255 million people. By contrast, the United States, with a population of 347 million people, is the other top 5 most populated country which actually allows for religious freedoms. Russia won't comply with 1987 moratorium on nuclear missiles Last week, Russia announced it will no longer comply with the 1987 moratorium on deployment of nuclear-capable intermediate range missiles. These missiles are designed to bring total annihilation to European cities. This opens the way for nuclear-capable launch vehicles to be deployed proximate to theaters of military operation. China doubled nuclear warheads China began its nuclear buildup in 2018—increasing its nuclear firepower from 280 to 600 warheads, and adding 350 new Intercontinental ballistic missile silos this year. This buildup took place at the same time France and the United Kingdom reduced their nuclear arsenals. 80th anniversary since U.S. dropped atomic bombs in Japan This month marks the 80th anniversary since the US dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. The city of Hiroshima marked the anniversary with a memorial event. The city's mayor, Shiro Suzuki, addressed the gathering, as one whose parents survived the 1945 attack. Suzuki said, ”Conflicts around the world are intensifying in a vicious cycle of confrontation and fragmentation . . . and if we continue on this trajectory, we will end up thrusting ourselves into a nuclear war. This existential crisis of humanity has become imminent to each and every one of us living on Earth." Youth unemployment up worldwide The BBC reports some Chinese college graduates are actually paying for a pretend job. The outlet mentions a business called “Pretend to Work Company."   With real jobs increasingly hard to come by, some young adults would rather pay to go into an office rather than to be stuck at home. This year, China's youth unemployment rate has scraped 17 percent. Canada has seen a sharp increase of youth unemployment—now at 14.2 percent. Italy's rate is upwards of 22 percent, and the United Kingdom has seen more increases of youth unemployment what they call “youth economic inactivity” in recent years—now at 13.4 percent. But youth unemployment in South Africa is the highest at 61 percent. The Apostle Paul exhorts the youth and all of us that "If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat. For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are busybodies. Now those who are such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ that they work in quietness and eat their own bread." (2 Thessalonians 3:10-12) World Vision justified in denying employment to a lesbian The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled  that the Christian ministry, World Vision, was well within the law when they denied employment to a lesbian named Aubry McMahon who was in a sinful relationship with a woman she called her “wife.” The court held that the ministry had not violated federal or Washington state non-discrimination laws because it was covered under the “ministerial exception.”  Abortion Kill Pill has enabled abortion rate to increase despite Dobbs Americans are killing significantly more babies following the U.S. Supreme Court reversal of Roe v. Wade through the Dobbs decision on June 24, 2022. Official records put the annual number at 1.1 million, up from 880,000 in 2020. That's a 25 percent increase. The difference appears to be made up by the abortion kill pill by mail program. About 63 percent of the murder of babies is executed by the abortion pill now, and 25 percent of all abortions come by “Telehealth” or by mail. Twenty-two leading Southern Baptist pastors have issued a letter to President Donald Trump, requesting that the administration “stop the mail-order distribution of the abortion drug mifepristone.” To this point, the Trump administration has been reticent to limit access to the abortion kill pill. In May, the U.S. Justice Department recommended tossing out a lawsuit that would have restricted a reduction of access to Telehealth abortions. In an interview with interview with Time Magazine in December, the president reiterated five times, that it was "highly unlikely” the Food and Drug Administration would do anything to restrict access to the Abortion Kill Pill.  However, God is in control. Jeremiah 51:19, 20, and 24 reminds us "He is the Maker of all things;  and Israel is the tribe of His inheritance. The Lord of hosts is His name. You are My battle-ax and weapons of war: For with you, I will break the nation in pieces, says the Lord." California fire has burned 120,000 acres The State of California is dealing with more out-of-control fires. The Gifford Fire started up last Wednesday, and has already consumed some 120,000 acres. It's now threatening the towns of Arroyo Grande and Santa Maria. Sadly, it's only 30 percent contained.  Grand Canyon fire has burned 144,000 acres The Dragon Bravo fire in Arizona has shut down the Grand Canyon North Rim for the season.   This fire has burned up 144,000 acres. In God's all powerful workings, this fire began by lightning strike on Independence Day, July 4th. Despite tariff revenues, 2025 U.S. deficit is $109 million higher than 2024 And finally, despite the Department of Government Efficiency, the tariff hullabaloo, and the influx of import taxes to the federal government coffers, this year's deficit, through July, is a whopping $109 billion more than it was last year. The deficit totaled $1.6 trillion over the first 10 months of fiscal year 2025—heading towards a $1.9 trillion deficit for the year. That's about eight times the average deficit incurred under the George W. Bush administration.

Nicolás Chiaraviglio, Chief Scientist from Zimperium's zLabs, joins to discuss their work on "Behind Random Words: DoubleTrouble Mobile Banking Trojan Revealed." Zimperium's zLabs team has been tracking an evolving banker trojan dubbed DoubleTrouble, which has grown more sophisticated in both its distribution and capabilities. Initially spread via phishing sites impersonating European banks, it now uses malicious APKs hosted in Discord channels, and boasts features like screen recording, keylogging, UI overlays, and app blocking—all while heavily abusing Android's Accessibility Services. Despite advanced obfuscation and dynamic evasion techniques, Zimperium's on-device detection tools have successfully identified both known and previously unseen variants, helping protect users from credential theft, financial fraud, and device compromise.

Told through the voices of survivors and leading experts, Nobody Should Believe Me pulls back the curtain on cases that are as heartbreaking as they are eye-opening.
