Ex-FBI Director James Comey is indicted on two charges as Trump celebrates “justice in America” and Comey's son-in-law resigns after the news. In Texas, cops at the wrong home opened fire on a man even after he surrendered, shooting him eight times while he was on the ground. Immigrants with no criminal record now make up the largest group in ICE detention, as Trump's crackdown continues to split families. A white couple blocks a street with furniture to “reserve” a parking spot, sparking a viral showdown.

In which we talk about a book dying on submission (and the pain of that!) as well as being STUBBORN enough to keep going. Alexandria Bellefleur is a bestselling and award-winning author of swoony contemporary romance often featuring loveable grumps and the sunshine characters who bring them to their knees. Her debut novel, Written in the Stars, was a 2021 Lambda Literary Award winner and a 2020 winner of The Ripped Bodice Awards for Excellence in Romantic Fiction. The Devil She Knows is her most recent novel.
The game does not seem to be letting up even after the Max Finale. Join JayTI7N and JackJack as we recap the events of the Max Finale and Eternatus and venture into the newest season, the Season of Transformation. The events keep coming with Mega Raids, Shadow Raids, Community Days as well as game issues like wrong raid spawns, no shiny rate increases, and game glitches. Silliness has always been part of the game, but hopefully some future changes like Level 80 increases hold promise. Aurora Masters is also doing more support for the community this season. What are you looking forward to with this Season of Transformation? Hopefully the silliness will be kept to a minimum!
When anti-immigration raids intensified in the USA after Trump's return to the presidency, it left many wondering: how could this happen in places like LA, ostensibly a “Sanctuary City”? What, in fact, are sanctuary cities? Launching our new series on the role of borders and migration in the roll out of Donald Trump's MAGA project, Rachel Humphris, author of “Making Sanctuary Cities” joins us to explain all. She outlines the rich history of such places, with roots in both traditions of sheltering refugees but also in activist histories of non-cooperation. Rachel also describes how the term ‘Sanctuary Cities' was appropriated in the so-called ‘culture wars', used by the right to paint a misleading picture of urban areas as full of “undesirable” outsiders and their apparently woke defenders. Plus, we ask: what does the label ‘Sanctuary City' obscure in places such as San Francisco, where many are being forced out as big tech money floods in? And how, by focusing on the history of American cities' complex and caveated relationship to the federal state, might we still hold to a future of hope and resistance?

Frank is joined by Kyle and Scott for a packed roundtable on Gamescom highlights, World of Warcraft Midnight reveals, and a friendly debate on brand events versus trade shows. The crew breaks down Hollow Knight Silksong hype, Fallout Season 2's New Vegas vibe, a surprise standout in Lego Batman, and how Blizzard's housing and three raids at launch could reshape the way we play. They wrap with network updates and weekly recommendations. Timestamps and Topics 00:00: Introduction and panel lineup 00:30: Question of the week — fictional foods from pop culture 03:01: News of the week — Gamescom overview 03:37: Hollow Knight Silksong release window and gameplay hopes 06:02: Warhammer 40K love plus Dawn of War memories 08:16: Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 concerns, design shift, and dev changes 15:56: Resident Evil 9 trailer reactions and expectations 16:57: Fallout Season 2 trailer — New Vegas sights and more of The Ghoul 18:24: Lego Batman Legacy of the Dark Knight looks like a true Arkham style entry 20:34: World of Warcraft Midnight cinematic first reactions — Silvermoon, Lor'themar, Zalatath 26:31: Who were the light aligned warriors and how that reveal could have landed 30:15: Midnight features — three raids at launch, eight dungeons, delves, prey system, outdoor play 31:45: Why multiple smaller raids can help modern raiders 34:19: Where each host plans to spend time — raiding, delving, housing 35:30: Player housing deep dive — free placement, neighborhoods, profession recipes in old zones 41:49: Professions and transmog updates make old content matter again 42:49: Demon Hunter Devourer spec talk and leveling plans 46:23: Built in raid tools and quality of life changes 46:41: Brand events versus trade shows — BlizzCon immersion or Gamescom reach 55:14: How activations bridge both worlds and keep hype alive 58:02: What Blizzard could do next and a brainstorm on venue layout 01:04:18: Network news — Challenge Accepted updates and more from the Geek Freaks crew 01:06:07: Weekly recommendations — Hollow Knight, Dawn of War, Cowboys doc 01:13:47: Sign off Key Takeaways Hollow Knight Silksong finally feels real with fresh footage and a near term release window that has fans buzzing. Fallout Season 2 leans into New Vegas energy and looks ready to give Walton Goggins even more to chew on. Lego Batman Legacy of the Dark Knight plays like a full Arkham style experience in a lighter package. World of Warcraft Midnight lands with a striking Silvermoon set piece and a clear villain in Zalatath while sparking questions about the light aligned reinforcements. Midnight launches with three raids, eight dungeons, delves, and a prey system that targets you in the open world for dynamic encounters. Housing is fully free form with place anywhere decoration, neighborhood vibes, and recipes scattered across old zones and dungeons, which brings back legacy professions and exploration. Built in raid tools and UI polish aim to raise the floor for everyone, not just add on users. Brand owned shows like BlizzCon deliver clarity, atmosphere, and community rituals. Trade shows give reach and variety but can dilute focus. Memorable Quotes “Hollow Knight Silksong got a release date. I am beyond excited.” “Lego Batman is straight up a new Arkham game. Who knew that would be the most complete Batman experience.” “Lor'themar finally got his moment to be the badass I always wanted him to be.” “Three raids at launch is a return to a cadence that actually fits how people play now.” “Housing should pull you back into old Azeroth and make those zones feel alive again.” Call to Action Enjoyed the episode?

This episode dives into three major topics. First, the hosts celebrate new archaeological discoveries that they argue prove traditional theories of human evolution are a "lie." Citing a recent study, they discuss how a 140,000-year-old child's skeleton in Israel shows interbreeding between modern humans and Neanderthals, a finding that pushes back the timeline for such interactions by 100,000 years. The host also notes that his own DNA shows he has an unusually high 4% Neanderthal genetics, a percentage double the average of 2%. Next, the conversation shifts to breaking political news: a pre-dawn FBI raid on former National Security Advisor John Bolton's home. The hosts speculate this raid is related to a classified documents probe and is the beginning of a crackdown on the "deep state" by the Trump administration. Finally, the hosts react to a major court decision that vacated a nearly half-billion-dollar judgment against Donald Trump in a New York fraud case. They frame the ruling as a significant victory against the "lawfare" being used by Democrats, highlighting that the loan company in question had testified they were not harmed and even wanted to do more business with Trump
