Andy and Dani solve ANOTHER murder. Ok... we've been reading a lot of murder books. It wasn't intentional but here we are. How far would you go to protect a sibling? Is it better to be an only child? Dani thinks so...

Today, we're tackling the hot button topic of whether women should be pastors with my own pastor's wife, Jenn Witmer. As female pastors and clerics become more common, it's inevitable that even the most traditional minds will start to question or at least reconsider the historical church's position on the subject. The real question is: Should we? In this episode, Jenn and I approach the topic with the view of scripture, not culture, as our guide. We hope this episode provides clarity and direction for everyone who listens and gives food for thought as we engage with the hierarchy of responsibility and giftings the Lord has blessed both men and women in ministry with.

ChatGPT ora può segnalare le tue chat alla polizia. OpenAI lo ha confermato dal 25 settembre: le conversazioni reputate ''pericolose'' possono essere inoltrate alle autorità, senza un criterio chiaro.Se parli di temi sensibili o scrivi un thriller, rischi che il tuo assistente digitale diventi un informatore. Anche una sola chat errata può far scattare controlli veri: nessuna privacy garantita, rischio di errori concreti e sorveglianza privata ai massimi livelli.Ti fidi ancora a confidarti con una IA?

Inspired by a photograph.https://www.taletellerclub.comRecently, I saw a photograph of my father as a young boy, standing tall and proud after being returned to his mother following ten years in foster care. That joy was short-lived; soon after, he was sent to borstal for stealing money. His life became one of sorrow and misunderstanding — by others, and by himself. Now that I know more about autism, and how it runs in my family, I can see what he lived with: a life behind masks, a brilliance obscured, and a soul too often misread. This poem was written to honour him, and to reflect on the simple but profound truth — that if he had been born today, the world might have understood him differently. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tale-teller-club--5932843/support.Tale Teller Club for CreatorsWatch: https://youtube.com/@taletellerclubJoin: https://bookofimmersion.comSupport: https://taletellerclub.bandcamp.comShop: https://redbubble.com/people/taletellerclubArt: https://saatchiart.com/sarniaKids: https://youtube.com/@taletellerclubkids

La UE è pronta a cancellare i cookie banner già dal 2025.Addio ai fastidiosi popup? Sì, ma il rischio è perdere davvero il controllo sui tuoi dati: il consenso diventa un click nascosto nelle impostazioni, e il tracciamento dei big del web vola. Secondo la Commissione Europea, questa mossa dovrebbe alleggerire del 25% il peso normativo, ma il consenso informato rischia di diventare solo una formalità.Se passa, potresti non dover più cliccare niente… ma tutto quello che viene tracciato su di te finirà direttamente nei data center delle Big Tech, pronto per essere venduto e sfruttato senza il tuo reale permesso.Vale davvero la pena scambiare meno fastidi per meno libertà digitale?

Microsoft stacca la spina alla più potente unità di intelligence israeliana, la Unit 8200. Il motivo? Un'inchiesta ha svelato la sorveglianza di massa su milioni di telefonate di civili palestinesi.Ma non è una semplice scelta etica: è una lezione su come le Big Tech agiscano solo quando il costo reputazionale supera il profitto, costrette dalla pressione del giornalismo investigativo. La tecnologia non è mai neutrale e oggi le policy aziendali sono diventate strumenti di geopolitica MOLTO più potenti delle risoluzioni ONU.Abbiamo affidato le chiavi del mondo a corporation che agiscono come Stati sovrani.

IA sempre più perfette? Ecco perché dovresti invece cercare i loro errori, subito.Fatto: Dal 2024 riconoscere le immagini create dall'AI è quasi impossibile: niente più mani con 7 dita, solo dettagli minuscoli. Entro il 2026, oltre il 90% dei contenuti digitali sarà generato o filtrato dall'intelligenza artificiale (fonte: Gartner).Conseguenze: Se ci limitiamo a fidarci della patina perfetta delle AI, rischiamo una società di consumatori passivi, incapaci di mettere in discussione le decisioni tecnologiche che plasmano ogni giorno la nostra vita.Meno trasparenza = più manipolazione. Solo chi impara a ''rompere'' e capire i limiti dell'AI può mantenere controllo e potere critico.E TU? Preferisci un'AI impeccabile, ma opaca, o una da esplorare con i suoi “difetti”?~~~~~ INGAGGI E SPONSORSHIP ~~~~~ Per contatti commerciali: sales@matteoflora.comPer consulenze legali: info@42LawFirm.it~~~~~ SOSTIENI IL CANALE! ~~~~~Con la Membership PRO puoi supportare il Canale » https://link.mgpf.it/proSe vuoi qui la mia attrezzatura » https://mgpf.it/attrezzatura~~~~~ SEGUIMI ANCHE ONLINE CON LE NOTIFICHE! ~~~~~» CANALE WHATSAPP » https://link.mgpf.it/wa» CANALE TELEGRAM » https://mgpf.it/tg» CORSO (Gratis) IN FUTURO » https://mgpf.it/nl» NEWSLETTER » https://mgpf.it/nl~~~~~ CIAO INTERNET E MATTEO FLORA ~~~~~ Questo è “Ciao Internet!” la prima e più seguita trasmissione di TECH POLICY in lingua italiana, online su YouTube e in Podcast.Io sono MATTEO FLORA e sono:» Professore in Fondamenti di Sicurezza delle AI e delle SuperIntelligenze (ESE)» Professore ac in Corporate Reputation e Crisis Management (Pavia).Sono un Imprenditore Seriale del digitale e ho fondato:» The Fool » https://thefool.it - La società italiana leader di Customer Insight» The Magician » https://themagician.agency - Atelier di Advocacy e Gestione della Crisi» 42 Law Firm » https://42lf.it - Lo Studio Legale per la Trasformazione Digitale » ...e tante altre qui: https://matteoflora.com/#aziendeSono Future Leader (IVLP) del Dipartimento di Stato USA sotto Amministrazione Obama nel programma “Combating Cybercrime (2012)”.Sono Presidente di PermessoNegato, l'associazione italiana che si occupa di Pornografia Non- Consensuale e Revenge Porn.Conduco in TV “Intelligenze Artificiali” su Mediaset/TgCom.

Academics and popular commentors have expressed common sentiments about the Black Power movement of the 1960s and 1970s—that it was male dominated and overrun with autocratic leaders. Yet women's strategizing, management, and sustained work were integral to movement organizations' functioning, and female advocates of cultural nationalism often exhibited a unique service-oriented, collaborative leadership style.Essential Soldiers: Women Activists and Black Power Movement Leadership (New York University Press, 2025) documents a variety of women Pan-African nationalists' experiences, considering the ways they produced a distinctive kind of leadership through their devotion and service to the struggle for freedom and equality. Relying on oral histories, textual archival material, and scholarly literature, this book delves into women's organizing and resistance efforts, investigating how they challenged the one-dimensional notions of gender roles within cultural nationalist organizations. Revealing a form of Black Power leadership that has never been highlighted, author Kenja McCray explores how women articulated and used their power to transform themselves and their environments. Through her examination, McCray argues that women's Pan-Africanist cultural nationalist activism embodied a work-centered, people-centered, and African-centered form of service leadership. A dynamic and fascinating narrative of African American women activists, Essential Soldiers provides a new vantage point for considering Black Power leadership legacies. This episode includes a reference to the book Prose to the People: A Celebration of Black Bookstores by Katie Mitchell (Random House, 2025). Listen to Mitchell discuss her book at New Books in African American Studies, hosted by N'Kosi Oates. Dr. Kenja McCray is Assistant Professor of History in the Department of Humanities at Clayton State University and coauthor of Atlanta Metropolitan State College: A Campus History (Arcadia Publishing, 2023). You can find Dr. McCray at her website, on Facebook, and on Instagram.

Academics and popular commentors have expressed common sentiments about the Black Power movement of the 1960s and 1970s—that it was male dominated and overrun with autocratic leaders. Yet women's strategizing, management, and sustained work were integral to movement organizations' functioning, and female advocates of cultural nationalism often exhibited a unique service-oriented, collaborative leadership style.Essential Soldiers: Women Activists and Black Power Movement Leadership (New York University Press, 2025) documents a variety of women Pan-African nationalists' experiences, considering the ways they produced a distinctive kind of leadership through their devotion and service to the struggle for freedom and equality. Relying on oral histories, textual archival material, and scholarly literature, this book delves into women's organizing and resistance efforts, investigating how they challenged the one-dimensional notions of gender roles within cultural nationalist organizations. Revealing a form of Black Power leadership that has never been highlighted, author Kenja McCray explores how women articulated and used their power to transform themselves and their environments. Through her examination, McCray argues that women's Pan-Africanist cultural nationalist activism embodied a work-centered, people-centered, and African-centered form of service leadership.

In the late 1890s a US congressman argued that the United States had the right to seize Cuba because he believed it was made of silt that had washed out of the mouth of the Mississippi River which made it literally US soil. That story inspired Puerto Rican Jewish poet Aurora Levins Morales to apply for a writing residency in New Orleans, and to travel the length of the river from Minnesota to the Gulf Coast, doing "poet research." In Silt: Prose Poems (Palabrera Press, 2019) she follows the pathways of water across the natural and social landscapes of the Mississippi River and the Caribbean Sea, tracing the real residues of their relationship, and turning that long story into a kind of prayer, for our waters, our planet and our lives.In this conversation, Jeffrey Herlihy-Mera, Joanna Cifredo de Fellman (יוחנה סיפרדו פלמן) and Aurora Levins Morales discuss Silt in the context of contemporary Puerto Rico.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome back to Parsha and Prose with Rabbi Shlomo Gemara. This week, we're diving into Parshat Nitzavim, a portion that speaks directly to the essence of community, covenant, and choice. Nitzavim is Deuteronomy 29:9–30:20, followed by the Haftarah from Isaiah 61:10–63:9. Much of Parsha & Prose this week is about Rabbi Gemara's father Z'l, who passed away a couple of weeks ago at 96 years old. The Rabbi speaks beautifully about his father and shares with us some very intimate stories about his humility, love of learning Torah, and incredible relationship with his wife and family. This is well worth listening to and learning from. The Torah portion, around the 50-minute mark, opens with the powerful words: Atem nitzavim hayom kulchem, “You are standing here today, all of you.” Leaders and children, strangers and labourers, no one is left out, no one stands on the margins. The Torah insists: everyone has a place within the circle. And within this inclusive vision comes one of the most stirring calls in all of Torah: I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Choose life. On the surface, it sounds simple. Yet the challenge is deep: What does it really mean to “choose life” in our time? How do we stand together, make choices that uplift, and bring blessings into the world? That's the journey we'll take together in today's episode. What does “choose life” mean in your world?

Today, we're excited to chat with Heid E. Erdrich. Heid is an author, researcher, educator, curator and member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa.  In 2024, she was the inaugural Minneapolis Poet Laureate and, in 2025, she served as the James and Lois Welch Distinguished Native American Visiting Writer at the University of Montana – Missoula.  Her recent books are Boundless: Abundance in Native American Art and Literature, which she co-edited, and Verb Animate: Poems, Prose and Prompts from Collaborative Acts. In our discussion, she examines her fascination with researching family history and with tracing the ancestral migrations that brought her to where she is now. A frequent collaborator, she talks about the power of working alongside literary and visual artists and how one of those partnerships inspired a unique synchronicity involving pink dolphins. Heid also shares her “best bad habit” and her take on the greatest gift anyone can give a creative artist.-----Hosts / Producers: Leah Lemm, Cole Premo Editor: Britt Aamodt Editorial support: Emily Krumberger Mixing & mastering: Chris Harwood

Show NotesThis week, host Vincent Midgard welcomes back acclaimed dark fiction author Megan Stockton to discuss her novel "Pink Neon." Together they dive deep into the book's brutal realism, creative process, the psychology of trauma and survival, and Megan's approach to writing about difficult subjects with honesty and respect.Episode HighlightsOpening with Impact: Why Megan starts and ends her books with haunting scenes, and how her creative process is both intuitive and chaotic.Surviving and Dissociating: Exploring trauma responses, disassociation as a survival tool, and how Megan's own experiences inform her writing.Writing Uncomfortable Truths: Keeping depictions of violence raw and honest—never exploitative—and understanding dissociation as both a literary and human tactic.Everyday Villainy: Bringing realism to antagonists, refusing cartoonish evil, and exposing systemic predation.Not Found Family—Trauma Bond: The relationships in "Pink Neon" are forged through necessity, not affection, subverting typical survival fiction tropes.Between Myth and Mundane: Missy's symbolic presence—part vengeance, part myth, all unsettling realism.Social Systems and Research: Consulting sex workers, reading unbiased accounts, and striving for authenticity in representing marginalized voices.Tone, Prose, and Process: Balancing lyricism and harshness, using color as a storytelling device, and Megan's “one-draft-and-done” writing method.Building Sunning: Megan's fictional Tennessee setting, inspired by Memphis's geography and history of decline.Looking Ahead: Teasers for Megan's upcoming haunted house novel and the Missy prequel.
