    Welcome back to The Rizzuto Show, the only comedy podcast where grown adults relive high school trauma before 8am and somehow pivot into gynecologist dating ethics.On this episode of your favorite comedy podcast, Rizz gets absolutely humbled in a school pickup line after attempting what he describes as a “strategic and efficient” U-turn. A school administrator steps in front of his car, hits him with the principal eyebrows, and delivers the devastating line: “Don't you ever do that again.” And just like that? 30 years of adulthood evaporate. Detention vibes. Emotional damage. Daughter watching from the passenger seat. Brutal.Meanwhile, the gang dives into the bureaucratic circus happening in St. Louis — including a car that's been parked on Locust Street for nearly a year collecting thousands in tickets while the city owns only 30 boots for 40,000 eligible vehicles. Government efficiency at its finest. Truly inspiring stuff.Then it's Women's Issues Wednesday, where a listener thinks she may have sparked chemistry with her gynecologist (yes, really), and another woman gets told mid-date that her voice is “too annoying” to continue. Honest? Yes. Savage? Also yes. We break down whether brutal honesty is noble… or just a personality flaw with WiFi.And as if that's not enough chaos, Moon's mom decides she's ready to adopt a cat — immediately — with zero research and full emotional commitment. We debate lap cats vs. chaos gremlins, adoption strategy, and whether Vegas should legally require Rizz to eat at Heart Attack Grill while he's in town.It's daily life spiraling into daily comedy. It's parenting shame. It's dating disasters. It's city dysfunction. It's The Rizzuto Show doing what we do best: oversharing for your entertainment.If you like sarcastic humor, weird news, St. Louis chaos, and a comedy podcast that feels like sitting at the table with friends who absolutely will roast you — this episode delivers.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

News:Five separate, yet related, one shots to mark the 10th anniversary of the release of the most excellent Star Wars: Rogue One film are coming from Marvel from May to September. Each issue is a one-and-done story that begins in May with Cassian Andor, followed by Jyn Erso, Saw Gerrera, Chirrut and Baze and finally, Darth Vader. Check the Facebook page or our our Blue Sky feed for details on each issue's creative teams.Details on Marvel's May solicits are on our social-media feeds.There's no new Dark Horse Comics' June solicits.

    Using A “Rebel Alliance” Strategy To Elevate AI & VR Learning - ILMxLab's Vicki Dobbs Beck

    Vicki Dobbs Beck, the former head of ILMxLab and a 34-year veteran of Lucasfilm/Disney, joins Charlie Fink, Ted Schilowitz, and Rony Abovitz for a candid look back at her incredible career navigating the tech and cultural shifts inside one of Hollywood's most powerful empires. Though she announced her retirement, it was quickly delayed to take an interim lead position at the George Lucas Educational Foundation's Lucas Learning, focusing on project-based simulations for middle school—a return to a career passion she started in the early 90s.Vicki shares the core, "rebel alliance" strategy that made ILMxLab a success—sustained innovation, industry acknowledgment, and financial self-sufficiency—and tells the terrifying story of pushing the Quest 1 headset to its absolute limits for the launch of Vader Immortal. She discusses the crucial lessons learned from pivoting the development to center the player in the story, transforming the experience from a "spatial film" to a personal journey, and the importance of slowing the pacing down for a new art form like VR.Before the interview, the hosts dissect a week of massive raises in AI (World Labs' $1B, Recursive Intelligence's $335M), the strategic shifts of tech giants like Palantir to Miami, and the intensifying race in wearables with Apple, Meta, and OpenAI all developing new devices like pendants and glasses.Key Moments00:03:17 – World Labs & Unity AI: Discussing the $1B World Labs raise for 3D world generation and Unity's plans to build AI into its game engine to make it accessible to non-developers.00:06:11 – The Miami Tech Hub: Rony Abovitz on why founders like Zuckerberg, Bezos, Larry, and Sergei are moving to Miami—it's more than just taxes, it's about a new “America strategy.”00:12:30 – Apple Watch as Wearables Base: Ted Schilowitz argues Apple already has the micro-technology (from the Apple Watch) to dominate the wearables space, but the underperformance of Siri held them back.00:27:00 – LaserDisc Learning: Vicki's early career in Lucasfilm Learning using cutting-edge but bulky computer-driven laser disc players for educational multimedia.00:28:57 – VR is 'Outsized': Ted's thesis that immersive technology has historically been overfunded and over-expected to return a profit, contrasting with the "rebel alliance" approach.00:34:45 – The Quest 1 Launch Scare: The terrifying moment before the Vader Immortal launch when a tiny software update broke the app because ILMxLab had pushed the Quest hardware to its absolute maximum.00:42:11 – The Void & Full VR Power: Charlie, Ted, and Vicki discuss why location-based VR like Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire (The Void) represents the exotic, "Ferrari version" of VR that most commercial users never experience.This conversation is a masterclass in pioneering entertainment technology. Vicki Dobbs Beck's experience shows that the path to a sustainable, breakthrough product like Vader Immortal requires a clear, rebel-alliance-style strategy, a willingness to pivot on core design principles (spatial film vs. player-centric experience), and a deep understanding of the hardware's limits—or lack thereof. It highlights the essential tension between commercial scale and the pursuit of the 'ultimate' immersive experience.Catch the AI XR Podcast where you get podcasts and watch full video episodes on YouTube. https://youtu.be/vguuHDmaSbsThis episode of The AI XR Podcast is brought to you by Zappar, the folks behind Mattercraft.

    San Giuseppe Allamano smaschera l'illusione di evangelizzare senza conversione

    TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/8461SAN GIUSEPPE ALLAMANO SMASCHERA L'ILLUSIONE DI EVANGELIZZARE SENZA CONVERSIONE di Roberto de Mattei Il 25 gennaio, Papa Leone XIV ha pubblicato un messaggio per celebrare il centesimo anniversario della Giornata Missionaria Mondiale del 2026, che si svolgerà il prossimo 16 ottobre. Questa giornata istituita da Papa Pio XI nel 1926, ci ricorda la vocazione missionaria della Chiesa, riassunta dalle parole di Nostro Signore ai suoi discepoli: «Mi è stato dato ogni potere in cielo e in terra. Andate dunque e ammaestrate tutte le nazioni, battezzandole nel nome del Padre e del Figlio e dello Spirito santo, insegnando loro ad osservare tutto ciò che vi ho comandato. Ecco, io sono con voi tutti i giorni, fino alla fine del mondo» (Mt 28, 18-20).Pochi sanno che l'istituzione di questa giornata si deve anche ad un santo che non fu mai missionario, ma che alle missioni dedicò la sua vita: san Giuseppe Allamano, la cui festa si celebra il 16 febbraio. Giuseppe Allamano nacque a Castelnuovo d'Asti il 21 gennaio 1851, nella stessa terra benedetta che aveva dato i natali a san Giovanni Bosco e fu uno degli ultimi frutti di quello straordinario filone di spiritualità piemontese, costellato da nomi come quelli di san Giuseppe Cafasso, san Giuseppe Benedetto Cottolengo, san Leonardo Murialdo, e, tanti altri beati e servi di Dio. La spiritualità piemontese è sempre concreta, radicata nella fedeltà alle grazie ricevute ogni giorno, senza mai essere intellettuale o sentimentale. Ciò che la caratterizza è il primato della vita interiore, l'amore per la Chiesa, una profonda devozione mariana, una fiducia incrollabile nella Divina Provvidenza. Ordinato sacerdote nel 1873, Giuseppe Allamano, fu presto colpito dalla sofferenza: una grave malattia lo costrinse ad abbandonare l'insegnamento, ma ciò che sembrava una sconfitta diventò, nelle mani di Dio, un seme fecondo. Nominato rettore del Santuario della Consolata di Torino, Allamano trasformò quel luogo in un centro vivo di rinnovamento sacerdotale. Davanti all'immagine della Madonna Consolata, maturò in lui una chiamata decisiva: formare missionari santi per annunciare il Vangelo fino ai confini della terra. Nel 1901 fondò l'Istituto Missioni Consolata (oggi Missionari della Consolata) e, pochi anni dopo, l'Istituto delle Missionarie della Consolata. Non partirà mai personalmente per le missioni, ma il suo cuore le abbraccerà tutte. LA GIORNATA MISSIONARIANel 1912, si rivolse direttamente a san Pio X, per cercare di sensibilizzare il clero e i fedeli sulle attività delle missioni, chiedendo anche l'istituzione di una giornata a questo dedicata. La risposta arriverà con l'istituzione della Giornata Missionaria, poco dopo la sua morte, che avvenne a Torino, il 16 febbraio 1926. Quest'anno ne celebriamo il centenario. Fu beatificato da Giovanni Paolo II e proclamato santo da papa Francesco il 20 ottobre 2024. Oggi la sua famiglia missionaria è diffusa in molti Paesi del mondo.Per comprendere la profonda spiritualità missionaria di san Giuseppe Allamano sono preziosi i suoi scritti. Essa può essere riassunta nel suo celebre motto: «Prima santi, poi missionari». «L'opera della missione - scrive Allamano - esige grande santità. Non basta una santità mediocre, occorrono, come missionari, santi in modo superlativo. Le anime si salvano con la santità... Certe conversioni non si ottengono che con la santità. Non dimenticate mai che la conversione dei cuori è opera della divina grazia, e solo chi ne è ripieno, opererà prodigi di conversione...Prima santi e poi missionari. Non bisogna scambiare i termini. Non è affatto presunzione il voler farsi santo; è presunzione il confidare nelle proprie forze. I santi non sono nati santi, ma si sono fatti santi. Quelli che vogliono farsi veramente santi, il Signore li aiuta e li fa santi.Per essere santi occorre pregare. Bisogna pregare sempre, giorno e notte senza interruzione: il che vuol dire essere come investiti dello spirito di preghiera, come l'abito riveste il corpo. Dobbiamo formarci lo spirito della preghiera, avere l'abito della preghiera, che non consiste nel pregare sempre vocalmente, dal mattino alla sera, ma nel riferire tutto al Signore. Così il nostro lavoro sarà preghiera. Si fa più in un quarto d'ora dopo aver pregato, che in due ore senza preghiera. La preghiera deve essere perseverante. Bussiamo alla porta; se non ci viene aperto, bussiamo più forte; rompiamo la porta, se occorresse. È il Signore che ci insegna a fare così. Quando non riceviamo ciò che chiediamo, pensiamo che neppure un filo, una parola della nostra preghiera è caduta nel vuoto».PER MEZZO DELLA CROCEAggiunge il nostro santo: «È per mezzo della croce che ci santifichiamo, non per mezzo delle parole e neppure solo delle preghiere; queste giovano anche, ma il più importante è portare bene la croce. La spiritualità però non deve essere triste, ma profondamente serena e fiduciosa nella Provvidenza». «La confidenza - sottolinea il nostro santo - è la quintessenza della speranza. Confidare è speranza robusta, viva. Nella via della perfezione essa ha una grande parte. Senza confidenza in Dio non si può far nulla; d'altra parte, facciamo torto a Dio non confidando in lui. Ci vuole una confidenza da pretendere miracoli, una confidenza tale, da essere un po' audaci, "prepotenti". Il Signore non si offende di ciò. Iddio provvede a tutto per coloro che in lui confidano».La devozione alla Madonna Consolata è uno dei pilastri della spiritualità di san Giuseppe Allamano, che vede nella Consolata una Madre che guida, sostiene e corregge, e a Lei affida ogni difficoltà. «Se uno non sentisse amore verso la Madonna, lo domandi: non aver amore alla Madonna è cattivo segno. Se non avete la devozione alla Madonna, e non dico solo devozione, ma una tenera devozione - dice - non vi farete santi!»L'energia è una dote caratteristica della Madonna. «Maria nei suoi dolori non si lasciava abbattere, ma aveva energia: "stava preso la croce di Gesù" (Gv 19, 25), partecipe delle sofferenze del figlio. Generosità, coraggio - esorta - ma anche allegrezza! Dio vuole anime forti e risolute, che si mettano interamente a disposizione di lui! Guai a chi mette riserve nella santificazione! Il Paradiso non è fatto per i fiacchiChe cos'è la nostra vita? É un'ora. Almeno in quest'ora lavoriamo con tanta intensità, con tanto spirito, di modo che un'ora sola valga tutta la giornata. Non è tanto il cadere nella debolezza che è male, ma il non sollevarsi; invece bisogna sempre cominciare di nuovo, non stancarsi. Coraggio sempre. Avanti nel Signore».

    Spouting Off with Karen Kataline Geopolitical Tensions, Regulatory Overreach, and the Quest for Election Integrity This episode of Spouting Off, hosted by Karen Cataline, features deep-dive interviews on the resurgence of global antisemitism, the technical and economic hazards of California's trucking regulations, and the recent FBI seizure of 2020 election records in Fulton County. The program highlights a growing friction between state-level policies and federal oversight across international and domestic fronts. Middle East Realities and the Shadow of Iran Josh Haston, Middle East correspondent for JNS, discusses the "Israel Uncensored" podcast and the alarming rise of "Jew hatred" in mainstream society. He highlights the historical continuity of antisemitism, drawing parallels between ancient history and the aftermath of the October 7, 2023, massacre. Haston points out a stark hypocrisy in global activism: while thousands of Iranians have been massacred by their own regime, there is a lack of corresponding protest at Western universities or cultural events like the Grammys. Regarding regional security, Haston asserts that Iran remains committed to nuclear armament, viewing Israel and the U.S. as primary targets. While Saudi Arabia currently navigates a complex diplomatic path to avoid Iranian aggression, there is long-term potential for their inclusion in the Abraham Accords once the nuclear threat is neutralized. The Economic and Safety Impact of Trucking Regulations Mike Kucharski of JKC Trucking criticizes California's aggressive emission standards, specifically the implementation of Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) systems. These regulations add over $40,000 to the cost of new vehicles and introduce "derate mode," a safety hazard that forces trucks to slow to 5–15 mph on active highways during system failures. Kucharski argues that these state-specific rules disrupt the national supply chain and create dangerous conditions for drivers stranded on highway shoulders. However, the industry sees a potential shift with EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, who may challenge California's regulatory intrusions and prioritize federal uniformity over state-level mandates . Election Integrity and the Fulton County Investigation Political analyst Jeff Cruere examines the recent FBI seizure of 2020 election records in Fulton County, Georgia. The seizure included hundreds of boxes of ballots, voter rolls, and digital images, marking a significant development in the years-long controversy surrounding the 2020 vote count. Cruere notes that for years, individuals questioning the election results were vilified or prosecuted, yet the current investigation suggests legitimate concerns regarding machine corruption and procedural anomalies. He emphasizes that the lack of government accountability in previous scandals (such as Benghazi or the IRS targeting of Tea Party groups) has fueled grassroots pessimism, making the current FBI action a critical litmus test for the justice system. The episode underscores a period of intense transition in American policy, where the "last chance" for the country—as described by Jeff Cruere—is being met with a race against time to reform election laws and roll back restrictive state regulations. Whether through the FBI's renewed interest in 2020 records or the EPA's potential pivot on trucking, the overarching theme is a demand for transparency and a return to federal standards that prioritize safety and constitutional integrity.

Roberts is a theological scholar, researcher and public speaker that specializes in discussions about the nature of perception and belief. After 27 years of passionate searching and study, Gabriel stepped away from his long held Christian faith into a more expansive and fluid worldview. The details and reasons are catalogued in his book, Born Again To Rebirth. Like many others who have had an earnest thirst for the answers to the big questions of life, Gabriel was not satisfied to settle for not knowing more. His latest book, The Quest For Gnosis explores the roots of belief, the power of the ecstatic state in one's spiritual life and the means by which a deeply satisfying spiritual life may be achieved outside of the bonds of dogma. Within The Quest For Gnosis, Gabriel interviews 20 of the brightest minds in this field of study, including Dr. Rupert Sheldrake, Graham Hancock, Daniele Bolelli, Peter J. Carroll, Hamilton Morris, Dr. Aaron Cheak, David Metcalfe, Dr. Rick Strassman and many more.Gabriel also writes for VICE Magazine, Disinfo.com and Realitysandwich.com and is the author of three books.

    What does the Apostle Paul mean when he says "to die is gain"? In this powerful message from our series, An Invitation to Joy, we explore how understanding death biblically transforms the way we live today. Paul, writing from a Roman prison and facing possible execution, declares that death isn't the final word. Instead, he claims it's a doorway to gaining Christ's presence, permanence, and perfect fulfillment. We unpack why grief isn't a lack of faith but a sign of love, why the Bible calls death an enemy, and how Paul's shocking confidence in the face of death reveals what it means to live with real purpose. If you've ever wrestled with loss, grief, or wondered what makes Christianity more than just good advice, this message is for you.00:00 Welcome & Introduction00:32 The Quest for "Gains"03:14 To Die Is Gain — Paul's Shocking Statement04:25 More Than Good Advice — The Heart of the Gospel06:31 Why Death Feels So Wrong07:57 The Three Pains of Death09:08 Jesus Wept — Tears Don't Cancel Faith11:58 What Do We Actually Gain?

We discuss his journey from studying indigenous traditions to creating sacred spaces and guiding transformational rites of passage. Together, we reflect on timing, both personal and collective, and how psychedelics can catalyze remembrance, spiritual awakening, and self-actualization. We explore the evolving relationship between science and indigenous wisdom, the importance of integration and embodiment, and how true transformation ripples through families and communities. Ehren shares insights into creating sanctuary, navigating shadow work, and supporting others through intentional, harm-reduction-based facilitation. This is a rich conversation about devotion, responsibility, and how we can collectively steward the psychedelic frontier with integrity and care.About Ehren:Ehren Cruz is a psychedelic ceremonial facilitator, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), and founder of The SpArc, a 12-phase soul mentorship and psychedelic Rites of Passage program devoted to self-actualization and sacred service.

As a certified harm reductionist, he has guided over 200 high-dose individual journeys and numerous group experiences, each grounded in rigorous assessment, preparation, integration, and ethical ceremonial practice. Previously an award-winning festival producer generating over $100 million in sold-out events worldwide, Ehren now focuses on transformative mentorship and immersive experiences.

    In today's world where every imaginable product can appear at your doorstep with the click of a button, the art that goes into manufacturing those products is increasingly overlooked.  Tim Minshall is a professor of innovation at the University of Cambridge and the author of How Things Are Made: A Journey Through the Hidden World of Manufacturing. As head of the Institute for Manufacturing, Tim is shaping the future leaders of manufacturing and reinforcing the critical role manufacturing plays in today's world.  In this conversation, Tim and Greg discuss the disconnect happening between modern-day consumers and the products they buy, plus the misconception that manufacturing has declined. They also delve into the complexity and fragility of manufacturing systems, the role of education in manufacturing, challenges in reviving manufacturing, and the future of manufacturing and software integration.  *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.* Episode Quotes: Bridging the gap between idea and implementation 08:09: The narrative has got a bit confused. This idea that there is a thing called innovation where you have got all the great science and technology and all this cool stuff happening, and that is brilliant. And then there is a bit, which is now implement, or we can call that manufacturing and, as you say, not without its challenges to scale and support software at scale. It is a non-trivial challenge. But if you are scaling up the production process for a new cell therapy to treat cancer or scaling up the production of, a novel semiconductor approach using, I do not know, compound semiconductors, there is, as you say, massive physical challenges involved there, so, but to me that is all part of the same innovation story. You go from the idea and the market opportunity all the way through is part of the innovation story. There is not this neat line in the middle which goes, yes, we have done with the innovation, now we manufacture. Have we become disconnected from how manufacturing happens? Every single thing we can see, unless it is a plant, a rock, an animal, or another human, has been manufactured...All of these things have been manufactured, and so there has been a slight worrying thing that has happened, certainly in the UK, and I suspect a little bit in the US as well, which is we have become disconnected from how that happens. And the more we become disconnected from it, the less we appreciate how incredibly clever it is. What are one of the biggest challenges facing manufacturing? 16:39: One of the biggest challenges facing manufacturing is. Getting good people to want to work in factories. Surely step one is making it visible. If you do not know it and you have not seen it, you are unlikely to just go, oh, I want to get involved in manufacturing. You need to have seen it. Repositioning manufacturing as the thing that drives solution 23:24: We have to reposition manufacturing as the thing that drives solutions. It is the thing that pushes us to deal with the energy transition. It allows us to deal with our multiple healthcare crises. It is what allows us to deal with sustainability challenges, all of these, it allows us to deal with the defense challenges. Geopolitics at the moment is pointing to extremely important role for manufacturing. We would rather not be in this situation, but it is an absolute truth.

    Progressive Populism Prevails: Charles Derber on How to Fight the Oligarchy

    "72% of Americans say they hate big corporations—including Republicans." — Charles DerberIt's not just the right that's reacting against liberal democracy. Some progressives are also embracing populism. Charles Derber, longtime professor of sociology at Boston College, has a new book called Fighting Oligarchy: How Positive Populism Can Reclaim America. Rather than a dirty word, he argues, populism is an inevitable political response to the brutality of today's economy. We're in a disguised depression, he fears. Sixty percent of Americans say they feel one paycheck away from oblivion.72% of Americans say they hate big corporations, Derber reminds us. Not just Democrats—Republicans too. Such hostility to large capitalist enterprises thus represents a kind of political supermajority. And Derber, a man of the left, sees this as fertile ground for what he calls positive populism. It's a politics that connects economic grievance to democratic renewal, the way the 1890s Populists did, the way the New Deal did, the way Martin Luther King did when he insisted you couldn't fight for civil rights without fighting against war and capitalism.But can positive populism coexist with American capitalism? Derber says no. American capitalism is too oligarchic, too individualistic, too hostile to collective identity. It's not compatible with positive populism and thus, in Derber's mind at least, not compatible with survival. But that doesn't involve a Soviet-style elimination of the free market. It means something more like Northern European social democracy: strong unions, universal healthcare, a government that actually intervenes on behalf of ordinary people.The trap, Derber warns, is nostalgia for the pre-Trump era. Going back to the supposedly "consensus" years of Bush, Obama and Clinton is a circuitous way of getting to another Trump. Today's street demonstrators—from Minneapolis to Los Angeles to New York City—understand this. According to Derber, demonstrations against ICE and MAGA are associating the immigration crackdowns with corporate oligarchy, and authoritarian political power with the economic power of big capitalism.And so positive populism will prevail. At least according to Charles Derber. Fight the oligarchy! Five Takeaways●      We're in a Disguised Depression: Sixty percent of Americans say they feel one paycheck away from disaster. This isn't radical rhetoric—it's mainstream public opinion.●      Hatred of Corporations Is Bipartisan: 72-73% of Americans—including Republicans—say they hate big corporations. Derber sees this as fertile ground for positive populism.●      Positive Populism Has Precedents: The 1890s Populists united white and Black workers. The New Deal gave ordinary people a stake. MLK linked civil rights to economics. These are the models.●      Going Back to Pre-Trump Is a Trap: If Democrats return to Bush-Obama-Clinton centrism, they'll get another Trump. The resistance understands this. The establishment doesn't.●      American Capitalism Is Incompatible: Positive populism can't coexist with American-style oligarchic capitalism. It needs transformation—not elimination of markets, but European-style social democracy. About the GuestCharles Derber is a professor of sociology at Boston College and author of more than twenty books, including Fighting Oligarchy: How Positive Populism Can Reclaim America and Bonfire: American Sociocide, Broken Relationships, and the Quest for Democracy. He is an old friend of Keen on America.ReferencesPeople mentioned:●      Pepper Culpepper is an Oxford political scientist whose book Billionaire Backlash argues that backlash against billionaires could strengthen democracy.●      Hélène Landemore is a Yale political scientist whose book Politics without Politicians makes the case for direct democracy.●      William Jennings Bryan ran for President four times on a populist platform but, Derber argues, sold out the movement's anti-corporate thrust.●      Martin Luther King Jr. argued that civil rights couldn't be separated from economic justice and opposition to war—a form of positive populism.●      Bernie Sanders and AOC are examples of positive populists within the Democratic Party today.Historical references:●      The 1890s Populist Movement united farmers and workers against the first Gilded Age oligarchy. Lawrence Goodwyn called it "the democratic moment."●      The New Deal represented a form of positive populism with significant government intervention in markets and encouragement of union organizing.About Keen On AmericaNobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen.
