Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for May 15, 2025 is: impervious • im-PER-vee-us • adjective Impervious describes that which does not allow something (such as water or light) to enter or pass through. It is also used formally to mean “not bothered or affected by something.” Both senses of impervious are usually used with to. // The material is impervious to water. // The mayor seems impervious to criticism. See the entry > Examples: “All of this ups the already sky-high stakes for ‘Superman,' which relaunches the DC Universe under the direction of Gunn and Peter Safran. The film is the studio's best hope at fielding a billion-dollar blockbuster in 2025, but even the Man of Steel isn't impervious to box office Kryptonite.” — Rebecca Rubin, Variety, 17 Jan. 2025 Did you know? Finding your way through some words' etymologies can lead to surprising discoveries of origins that seemingly have little to do with their modern-day meanings. Impervious, which entered English in the early 1600s, is not one of those words—its history is entirely straightforward. The Latin ancestor of impervious is impervius, which adds the prefix im-, meaning “not,” to pervius, meaning “passable or penetrable.” Pervius in turn comes from per, meaning “through,” and via, meaning “way.” Impervious, it follows, describes things that don't allow a way through something, whether literally (as in “asphalt, concrete, and other surfaces that are impervious to rain”) or figuratively (as in “impervious to criticism/pressure”). The opposite of impervious, pervious, entered English at around the same time, but it is much less common.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for March 17, 2025 is: limerick • LIM-uh-rik • noun A limerick is a humorous rhyming poem of five lines. // My limerick received a prize for the funniest poem at the open mic night. See the entry > Examples: "… the play is silly, purposefully stupid and tough for even [Cole] Escola to categorize: 'If I were to call it a farce or a screwball comedy, I feel like actual scholars of comedy would be like, "There's not a single door slam, you idiot!" I would call it … a dirty limerick,' they joked to Variety earlier this fall." — Rebecca Rubin, Variety, 25 Nov. 2024 Did you know? A limerick is a short, humorous (and frequently bawdy) five-line poem with a rhyme scheme of aabba. While the origins of this type of verse are unknown, some believe that the poem owes its name to a group of poets from Limerick, a port city in west-central Ireland, who wrote such verses. Others point to a parlor game in which players sang the chorus of an old soldiers' song with the phrase "will you come up to Limerick?" and then added impromptu verses. Regardless, a limerick's characteristic rhythm comes from its uses of anapests, metrical feet consisting of two short syllables followed by one long syllable or two unstressed syllables followed by one stressed syllable (as in "unaware"). To wit: "There once was a song from old Éire / Sung by the soldiers living there, / 'Will You Come Up to Limerick?' / Quite possibly did the trick / In naming the limericks we share."

As we enter a major weekend for Hollywood, how successful are Wicked and Gladiator II projected to be? Although Thanksgiving cooking is a major event on its own, the next two weekends serve as a time when major studios try to cash in on the audience's free time. The two major releases this weekend, John M. Chu's Wicked and Ridley Scott's Gladiator II, have bot h heavily campaigned for eyeballs, leaving questions about whether both can find box office success during the first week of their respective domestic releases. Internationally, Gladiator II has been released in some territories and made more than $80 million dollars in the process; Wicked has yet to open up its wide release but is projected to make more than $100 million in its opening weekend. With many referencing Barbenheimer, due to both films' heavy promotion and different audience demographics, it does beg folks to wonder how each film will ultimately do financially and during awards season. Rebecca Rubin, senior film and media reporter for Variety, joins us to discuss this.

In this supersized episode of Stagecraft, we bring you three conversations from Variety's Business of Broadway breakfast, featuring the stars, creators and producers behind some of the biggest shows on Broadway this fall.   In our first conversation, Erik Piecuch of City National Bank moderates a discussion with the producers Hunter Arnold ("Maybe Happy Ending," "Othello"), Caroline Kaplan ("Redwood"), Mara Isaacs ("Gypsy," "Hadestown"), and Sammy Lopez ("How to Dance in Ohio," "JOB").   In our second talk, Variety's Rebecca Rubin talks with four of the stars of the new Broadway revival of "Our Town": Zoey Deutch, Jim Parsons, Ephraim Sykes and Michelle Wilson.   And in our final interview, Variety's Brent Lang talks to two of the creative forces behind the buzzy new revival of "Sunset Boulevard," star Nichole Scherzinger and director Jamie Lloyd.

Once again, Americans are asking how to end mass shootings. With consensus on gun laws unlikely, some are turning to Hollywood to help change the narrative. Can those who control the levers of culture shift the public's relationship with guns? Guest host Elise Hu speaks with former video game designer and now TV writer Nadra Widatalla about a world where on-screen heroes don't rely on guns. Plus, seriously, why are movies so long? It isn't scientific but it sure feels like movies are racking up the minutes. Elise chats with Variety reporter Rebecca Rubin about total runtimes — and if they aren't actually getting longer, why does it feel that way?You can follow us on Twitter @NPRItsBeenAMin and email us at ibam@npr.org.

Yesterday the audience was on its feet – more than once - to applaud the cast, the band and the design of Anything Goes at the Barbican Theatre in London. On Front Row today Samira Ahmed talks to Kathleen Marshall, the director and choreographer about the appeal of the show today, and to Sutton Foster, the American star making her UK debut as Reno Sweeney, who gets to sing some of Cole Porter's greatest songs including I Get a Kick Out of You which she has recorded especially for Front Row. Co-written by Tim Renkow and Shaun Pye, the BBC Three black-comedy series Jerk revolves around the character Tim who uses the fact that he has cerebral palsy to try and get away with anything. Tim Renkow joins us to discuss the new second series and representation of disability in television. It was announced at the end of last week that Scarlett Johansson is suing Disney for breach of contract over the Marvel film Black Widow, with its scaled-back cinema release. Rebecca Rubin from Variety in New York considers the case and whether there might be further fallout as streaming is now such a significant income-generator for the major studios.

3 de febrero | Nueva YorkHola, maricoper. Filibuster y reconciliation.El podcast de La Wikly también está disponible en iTunes, Spotify y iVoox.Añade el podcast a tu plataforma favorita haciendo click en el botón “Listen in podcast app” que aparece justo debajo del reproductor.Si te haces suscriptor premium, recibirás dos newsletters extra. Los viernes, el maricóctel, un podcast y una serie de enlaces recomendados para ponerte al día de algún tema destacado. Y los lunes, el maricoffee, un repaso de cuatro titulares para empezar la semana bien informado (y un test de actualidad para ponerte a prueba).Leer esta newsletter te llevará 28 minutos y 23 segundos.Porque es un placer fastidiar a los críos (sorry, padres). Bienvenido a La Wikly.🧑🏻‍🦳 Obstáculos y atajosLo importante: Joe Biden tiene que afrontar las crisis que azotan a Estados Unidos de dos formas: desde el ejecutivo con decretos como los que lleva aprobando estas semanas y/o con la ayuda de las cámaras legislativas.Por si hace falta que te refresquemos la memoria.Cámara de Representantes, con mayoría demócrata ajustada de tan solo 10 congresistas (222-212).Queda un escaño en Nueva York por decidirse.Senado, con mayoría demócrata muy ajustada (50-50) gracias a la función que la vicepresidenta Kamala Harris ejerce para deshacer empates.En la Cámara de Representantes es posible pasar muchos proyectos de ley ambiciosos por mayoría simple. Es decir, 218 congresistas y los demócratas solo se pueden permitir cuatro fugas.El Senado es otra historia.Es por eso que en esta edición de La Wikly queremos explicar los dos mecanismos que permiten pasar o bloquear leyes en el Senado y que pasarán a formar parte del lexicón de esta newsletter en los próximos meses.EL FILIBUSTERQué es. Se trata de una técnica específica de obstruccionismo parlamentario mediante la cual se pretende retrasar o enteramente bloquear la aprobación de una ley o acto legislativo a través de las intervenciones de los congresistas.Como el sistema estadounidense es uno que no contempla un tiempo límite para las intervenciones de los congresistas, un filibuster puede implicar largos discursos, mociones dilatorias y una cantidad ingente de proposición de medidas.Regulación en el Senado. Tras más de cien años de prácticas de filibuster, se han desarrollado leyes reglamentarias para controlarlo e impedir que el mecanismo frene en su totalidad la actividad del Capitolio.Hasta 1970, el obstruccionismo en un debate frenaba por completo la actividad del Senado, pero con la adopción del sistema de dos vías se permitió tener dos o más leyes/nominaciones pendientes en simultáneo.¿Cómo? Designando períodos específicos durante el día para que cada una sea considerada. Ejemplo:La nominación judicial de Pepito será considerada por la mañana y hasta la hora de comer.La ley de transición patológica será considerada a lo largo de la tarde.Es decir, que el filibuster permite de facto bloquear una ley porque un partido puede alargar un debate ad infinitum al tiempo sin frenar la actividad del Senado porque en paralelo se van aprobando otras leyes.La excepción. El Senado puede poner fin a un obstruccionismo invocando la Cloture Rule, una regla que desde 1975 permite terminar el debate con el apoyo de las tres quintas partes del Senado (60 senadores).Sin embargo, no es una regla que se invoque con regularidad debido a que suele ser necesario el apoyo bipartidista para obtener la supermayoría requerida.Por otro lado, la minoría de votos requerida por esa Cloture Rule, o regla de clausura, no es la misma si el debate gira en torno a modificar las leyes del Senado; para esos fines es necesario el apoyo de dos tercios de la cámara.En ocasiones, se ha propuesto la "opción nuclear", un procedimiento parlamentario que permite al Senado anular una regla permanente del Senado por una mayoría simple de 51 votos —si es que los 100 senadores están presentes.Eso incluye la regla de clausura de 60 votos necesarios para cerrar el debate.Con el tiempo, las prácticas de filibuster, que solían estar reservadas para problemas controvertidos, empezaron a afectar a casi todos los debates caldeados del Senado y se normalizó requerir los 60 votos para esquivar el obstruccionismo.¿Cuáles son las opciones para los demócratas teniendo el control de la Casa Blanca y del Capitolio pero sin una mayoría a prueba del potencial obstruccionismo del Senado?Crear más excepciones mediante la opción nuclear, como ha sucedido un par de veces en los últimos años, aunque para ello necesitarían el apoyo de senadores como Joe Manchin y Krysten Sinema, que no están muy convencidos.En 2013, una mayoría demócrata en el Senado puso fin al obstruccionismo para las nominaciones a los tribunales federales, así como a las nominaciones del poder ejecutivo.En 2017, un Senado controlado por los republicanos puso fin al obstruccionismo para las nominaciones a la Corte Suprema.Con la administración de Biden, gran parte de las políticas de la agenda demócrata están fuera de su alcance a menos que diez republicanos del Senado las respalden.Es de ahí que los demócratas lleven meses proponiendo a debate si el partido debería eliminar el obstruccionismo parlamentario con la llamada opción nuclear.Si la activaran, podrían aprobar muchos proyectos de ley sobre cambio climático, derecho al voto, ampliación de Medicare o subida de impuestos a los ricos con solo 50 votos (+Kamala) en lugar de 60.RECONCILIATIONQué es. Reconciliation o reconciliación es un procedimiento parlamentario del Capitolio estadounidense que facilita la aprobación de determinadas leyes presupuestarias.Es de especial utilidad en el Senado, pues permite evitar el filibuster y salvar el requisito de los 60 votos a favor necesarios para poder pasar la mayor parte de la legislación.Los mecanismos de control del debate ya existentes en la Cámara de Representantes hacen que este mecanismo no sea tan útil en esa cámara.La reconciliación permite al Senado, por mayoría simple de 50 senadores, aprobar por lo menos una ley al año que afecte a gastos, impuestos y límites de deuda como parte del proceso presupuestario.Existe la posibilidad de aprobar una ley que afecte a gastos e impuestos por un lado y otra ley que afecte a límites de deuda.Pero sí, solo uno de esos tres términos (gastos, impuestos y límites de deuda) al año.Este mecanismo fue creado por la Ley de Presupuestos del Congreso de 1974 y se puede utilizar para abordar aquellos gastos “obligatorios” o de derecho. Es decir, aquellos gastos determinados por las leyes de autorización vigentes.Eso incluye cambios a gastos que afecten a programas públicos de sanidad como Medicaid y Medicare, a pensiones civiles y militares a nivel federal o a cupones de alimentos y programas agrícolas.Eso sí, la conocida como Regla Byrd impide que por reconciliación se hagan cambios a la Seguridad Social o se aumente el déficit federal después de un periodo de 10 años, entre otros. La reconciliación fue utilizada por primera vez en 1980, y desde entonces se ha utilizado en otras 21 ocasiones. Entre los ejemplos históricos más reseñables:La reforma de ayudas sociales de 1996 (PRWORA).Las bajadas de impuestos de George W. Bush en 2001 y 2003.Como parte del proceso de aprobación de la Ley del Cuidado de Salud a Bajo Precio (ACA), mejor conocida como Obamacare, en 2010.La bajada de impuestos de Trump en 2017.Los republicanos, con su mayoría en el Senado, también intentaron utilizar la reconciliación en 2016 y 2017 para derogar Obamacare.Ambos intentos fracasaron: el primero porque fue vetado por Obama, y el segundo, ya durante la presidencia de Trump, porque no logró su aprobación en el Senado.A destacar el hecho de que el veto presidencial a una ley de reconciliación no permite reiniciar la tramitación de otra ley por ese procedimiento, lo que implica la exigencia de un nuevo proceso presupuestario.La de 2017 fue especialmente controvertida puesto que se intentaron aprobar dos leyes de reconciliación: una para el año fiscal 2017 (utilizada para intentar tumbar Obamacare; fracasó) y otra para el año fiscal 2018 (la que aprobó la bajada de impuestos de Trump).¿Y cómo pueden utilizar los demócratas la reconciliación?En teoría, los demócratas podrían aprobar una sola de reconciliación en 2021, aunque es posible que se puedan permitirse aprobar una extra del año fiscal 2020.Dado que en 2020 no se aprobó una ley presupuestaria correspondiente al año fiscal 2021, los demócratas podrían aprovechar este año para aprobar las leyes correspondientes a 2021 y a 2022.Eso permitiría la generación de una ley de reconciliación extra que los demócratas podrían utilizar para aprobar sus medidas legislativas más ambiciosas.¿Qué medidas? Los líderes demócratas ya han anunciado que utilizarán las leyes de reconciliación para aprobar algunas de las principales medidas legislativas del programa de Biden. Destacan:Los paquetes de estímulo para hacer frente a la situación económica dejada por la crisis de COVID-19 en caso de que no se llegue a un acuerdo con los republicanos.Legislación en materia de cambio climático e infraestructuras.Subida del salario mínimo a 15 dólares por hora, si bien esto no tiene precedentes de aprobación mediante reconciliación.¿Qué no pueden hacer? En esencia, no puede aprobarse por ley de reconciliación cualquier medida que no afecte a gastos, impuestos o límites de deuda. Entre las medidas que no se pueden aprobar por esta vía se encuentran:Reformas en los sistemas electorales, plazos de votación y procedimientos de redistrito.Convertir a D.C. y Puerto Rico en estados.Aumentar el número de jueces en los tribunales de distrito, de circuito o del Tribunal Supremo.Protección o extensión de derechos como el aborto, medidas o regulaciones medioambientales o restricciones en la tenencia de armas.No obstante, la decisión final dependerá de lo que decidan los propios parlamentarios, pues la Regla Byrd no deja de ser una norma sujeta a reforma o derogación.Los demócratas podrían tratar de eliminar esta norma para que las leyes de reconciliación puedan abarcar la reforma de cualquier materia legal.¿Desea saber más? En el podcast, Anita Pereyra y yo (hola, soy Emilio) hablamos de ambos mecanismos y de cómo encajan en el contexto político actual. The Daily, el podcast diario de The New York Times, publicó hace unos días un programa sobre el debate en torno a poner fin al filibuster.🤓 Qué están leyendo en…Washington D.C.: ‘77 días: la campaña de Trump para revertir las elecciones’ por Jim Rutenberg, Jo Becker, Eric Lipton, Maggie Haberman, Jonathan Martin, Matthew Rosenberg y Michael S. Schmidt en The New York Times. (en inglés; 46 minutos).The New York Times vuelve a juntar a muchas de sus estrellas para esta exhaustiva crónica desde dentro sobre cómo Trump y sus aliados construyeron una narrativa falsa sobre el fraude electoral. El reportaje es ilustrativo de la magnitud de la empresa de Trump y la complicidad de gran parte de la infraestructura republicana, así como de los baches que se encontraron por el camino (mi preferido, el repartidos reconvertido a cazafantasmas). Pero lo más revelador quizá quede en esta frase sobre el equipo legal del que se rodeó el ahora expresidente: “Por cada abogado del equipo de Trump que silenciosamente se echó atrás, había otro preparado para impulsar las demandas propagandísticas que pasaban por alto la ética legal y la razón”.For every lawyer on Mr. Trump’s team who quietly pulled back, there was one ready to push forward with propagandistic suits that skated the lines of legal ethics and reason.Silicon Valley: ‘La locura de la extrema derecha con las sobras de QAnon’ por Kelly Weill en The Dialy Beast (en inglés; 6 minutos).Si hace unos años eran los grupos privados de Facebook donde se lanzaron avisos de que ‘aquí está pasando algo realmente peligroso’ con la teoría de la conspiración QAnon, ahora el foco se va a centrar en plataformas de mensajería como Telegram, donde los medios tienen mucho más difícil hacer un seguimiento de la toxicidad que se da en algunos de sus canales. En The Daily Beast se hacen eco de las estrategias de reclutamiento por parte de grupos de extrema derecha o ultrareligiosos que están captando a seguidores de QAnon desencantados con la falta de resultados en las últimas semanas. Y lo peor es que podría estar funcionando.Hollywood: ‘11 películas atractivas a la venta en el Festival Virtual de Cine de Sundance’ por Brent Lang, Rebecca Rubin y Matt Donnelly en Variety (en inglés; 8 minutos).Con el COVID-19 haciendo imposible una cita presencial en Park City, Utah, el Festival de Sundance de cine independiente se celebra este año de forma virtual. Y aunque la pandemia ha frenado el estreno de numerosas producciones, la edición sigue teniendo en ristra algunos títulos destacados que repasan en este artículo de Variety. En Sundance siempre suele haber sorpresas de última hora (¡Whiplash! ¡¡Beats of the Southern Wild!!), pero algunos títulos a tener en cuenta: Passing, el por ahora aclamado debut en largometraje de la actriz Rebecca Hall con Tessa Thompson como protagonista; How It Ends, una comedia sobre un Los Ángeles postapocalíptico que parece ser una de las mejores respuestas al mundo postpandemia que viviremos dentro de poco; y Land, el también debut en largometraje de la actriz Robin Wright que no aparece en el artículo de Variety porque ya tiene distribución de Focus Features (el sello indie de Universal). Por cierto, Apple compró los derechos de la potencialmente lacrimógena CODA por 25 millones de dólares, récord histórico de venta del festival. Apuntad el nombre de la joven protagonista: Emilia Jones.😆 Quitándole la graciaWall Street Bets sigue siendo una de las noticias del momento a nivel global gracias a la narrativa del David vs. Goliath que tiene la historia. Lo explicamos en profundidad en la newsletter de la semana pasada y después en el noticiario de Twitch cuyo resumen editó mi compañero Mario aquí.Si ya habéis vuelto con el contexto, ahora podréis entender mejor algunos de los memes que se han hecho virales en Reddit en la última semana. Ahí está el de arriba en referencia al meme ‘go brrr’ que entró en nuestro ranking del 2020. Pero detrás de todo ese fenómeno hay un nombre que ha pasado desapercibido en muchos de los análisis de los últimos días: el de Keith Gill aka /deepfuckingvalue aka Roaring Kitty, un redditor que lleva meses hablando de Gamestop. The Wall Street Journal lo entrevistó:Todo empezó con este vídeo del pasado julio que ya es parte indispensable de la historia de internet:Os cuento esto para que podáis entender mejor los memes de DFV que vais a ver mucho en los próximos años. Ejemplo claro:Y este otro nivel icónico con la palabra Hold. Esto es, aguantad, en referencia a la estrategia de los redditors de seguir manteniendo sus posiciones en Gamestop para que los fondos de cobertura continúen ahogándose en su propia mierda:Conocido el contexto, se os hará mucho más fácil entender la presencia de DeepFuckingValue en versiones épicas del Hold the line! enmarcadas en películas como El caballero oscuro: la leyenda renace, Vengadores: Endgame, El señor de los anillos: El retorno del rey y, por supuesto, 300:Y en vídeos e imágenes que te alegrarán el día:Un buen meme nostálgico sobre el apoyo a GameStop.Un gran meme sobre apoyar la cabeza en la ventana del autobús.Un buen meme wholesome sobre la cola del supermercado.Un buen meme para recordar a Harambe.Un buen meme de Trump:🤩 Un vídeo para celebrar la vuelta de SNLSaturday Night Live volvió este pasado sábado a NBC con un episodio que dejó algún momento memorable como el que encabeza este párrafo, en el que Cecily Strong interpreta a la congresista republicana Marjorie Taylor Greene (QAnon Lady). Es parte del cold open de la última entrega del programa de sketches en la que curiosamente quien estuvo desaparecido es Joe Biden, que en episodios anteriores fue interpretado por Jim Carrey (ya retirado del rol) y Alex Moffat (parte del elenco de SNL).El programa tuvo algunos sketches muy flojos, pero tanto el cold open como el retrato de la Georgia Azul, un estado de repente megaprogresista, cuentan con ideas y gags cojonudos. Y ahí estará la clave. Sin Trump, es posible que SNL pierda mucho material fácil con el que levantar programas, pero también para que los guionistas arriesguen más que nunca y la sátira política sepa estar a la altura de un momento político que no debería tener que ser más aburrido.Haré muchas menciones a SNL en los próximos números de La Wikly, pero ya aviso que los vídeos de YouTube con los sketches completos suelen estar capados por localización, con lo que aquí solo podré compartir las versiones recortadas que la cuenta oficial del programa cuelga en Twitter. Si quieres verlo todo, tendrás que activar un VPN.Os dejo con un último extracto del otro sketch que más me ha hecho reírme esta semana:👋 Y para terminar...Una recomendación. HBO ha lanzado una serie documental sobre jóvenes que quieren ser famosos en Los Ángeles. Se llama Fake Famous y es una radiografía del universo influencer de la mano del periodista Nick Bilton y el sello de la cadena de cable, lo cual es un aliciente bastante potente. Las primeras críticas son buenas, como estas de The Hollywood Reporter y de Wired, así que parece un gran plan para el fin de semana.Hasta la semana que viene, This is a public episode.

Email - rrubin@disabilitysupportsolutions.com Phone - 301-523-5362 Rebecca Rubin, the founder of Disability Support Solutions, LLC, provides us with an overview of her services. Prior to starting Disability Support Solutions, Rebecca worked for service providers in Montgomery County, MD; serving the developmentally disabled population. Through her services, she realized how much unmet need parents had for answers and guidance - which led her to start her company. Rebecca takes a collaborative approach with other professionals, like attorneys and financial advisors, to help her clients access the appropriate supports through Maryland's Department of Developmental Disabilities (DDA). This help comes in the form of working with families to complete applications, talking through what they're entitled to, applying for transitioning youth funding, and, in some cases, looking for services for a child with a mental health diagnosis. Rebecca is very involved, she doesn't want to bounce her clients to another website or service if she can help it. She offers everyone a free 15 - 30 minute phone call to "triage" their situation and determine if it makes sense to work together. Rebecca's preference when working with her clients is to meet face-to-face, or given current Covid restrictions, using a virtual consultation. These meetings will be charged for, Rebecca is a "fee for services"; she doesn't work off a retainer. Disability Support Solutions, LLC, is looking to expand its suite of services in the Fall of 2020 (dependent on the current health situation). The new services offered will be advocacy for adults receiving services. A Disability Support Solutions staff member will visit with individuals receiving services in their Day and Residential program at least once per month and report back to the individual's legal guardian and/or Trustee with an overview of how things are going and a checklist of what if anything needs to be addressed.

Let us know at ThisTimeWith.com/talk EPISODE #70: How Movie Theatres are Reopening Safely with Sarah Van Lange, Executive Director of Communications, Community and Social at Cineplex - August 3, 2020 MAILBAGBrady says, Hey guys just want to say I enjoyed your recent episode of you guys talking about the Superman Black Suit and the Snyder Cut. I know you guys were curious as to how much Whedon reshot the film and I wanted to help clarify that. As you know Zack Snyder has not seen the theatrical cut but he has stated that you only seen about 10-20% of his footage while the rest of it is Joss Whedon. When Whedon came on board he wrote 80 pages of new script material. So that's about an 1 hour and 20 minutes of new footage that he shot in a 2 hour movie with credits that was mandated by WB. So already that shows you how different the film is. The reason Whedon didn't get credit for directing is cause the DGA rules state that a director who films 90% of principal photography gets sole credit no matter what. Zack Snyder filmed 100% of principal photography so that's why his name is in the theatrical cut. So yes this movie is going to be an entirely different from the Whedon version as well as the version he shot. That's why they are throwing so much money to basically redo it from the ground up. So things like the Russian family and the parademons smelling fear from the Batman scene are not in the Snyder Cut. Sorry for the long message but just wanted to give you that information. Thanks again guys for all you do :) ANNOUNCEMENTSCOMMENTARIES: Game Night, Sicario, and Spider-Man (2002) NOW AVAILABLE ON THE MOVIE PODCAST FEED!CATCH UP: Black Lives Matter, Zack Snyder's Justice League ‘Snyder Cut' Coming to HBO Max in 2021 and Interview with Kevin Lima, Director of A Goofy Movie, Tarzan, and Enchanted and more!CHECK OUT: The Last of Us Part II Spoilercast AVAILABLE NOW! NEWSUniversal And AMC Reach Agreement For Mere 17-Day Theatrical Window - Scott Mendelson / ForbesSix Movie Business Questions After Universal and AMC's Historic Deal - Brent Lang, Rebecca Rubin, Matt Donnelly / VarietyLeonardo DiCaprio's Appian Way Inks First-Look Deal With Apple - Nellie Andreeva / Deadline‘Tenet' Will Release Internationally in August Ahead of U.S. Debut - Rebecca Rubin / VarietyWhy Comic-Con ‘At Home' Was a Bust - Adam B.

Today I join forces with the sweet lady Rebecca Rubin to talk about our Identity shifts throughout our life and talking about how to invest into mentorship while still owning your Identity. Join Identity here: http://www.brandingwithbrandon.com

WOOOMAN!"Everyone wins when spiritual women make a fuckton of money" - Rebecca Rubin said that and I couldn't agree more!!! She's spot on. &MONEY is one of those conversations that MOST women want to ignore in partnership and beyond.... Can I get a HELLLL YEAH!?Because MOST spiritual magical women I know manifest money and experiences pretty easily but, when they get into committed partnership something shifts and fear starts to weave its way into the magic… Or is it practicality? The divine masculine and the divine feminine both have a place at the table and it’s in tapping into your shadow that you can see where you’re outta whack (if having that money conversation with your partner or potential partner) scares the shit outta you.Today we talk about how Money is your servant not your master and I share the CORE lesson I teach in the Money Shadow course. (you get it Fo Free by listening) You’re getting access to the goods that (up-to-now) only my paid clients have received!! I also share my scary truth: I am not perfect when it comes to money and having these types of conversations with my husband haven’t always been easy. That’s why I share this practice, because it helps heal the inner money wounds that cause you to push away your partner or potential partner. YESUH this episode GOES DEEP and gives you the tools to implement today to see real change.

Rebecca Rubin is a trained life coach through the Institute of Professional Excellence in Coaching. Prior to becoming a coach, she spent 7 years as a Digital Marketing Manager at one of DC’s premier interactive agencies, Blue Water Media. She has BA in Psychology and Communications from Vanderbilt University. Her work has been featured in publications like Entrepreneur, Business Insider, The Guardian, EliteDaily, NBC, CBS, and more. In this episode, we talk about how your life IS your content, how marketing has changed and how to feel good marketing. You have a way of saying things that aren’t being said. Does that just come to you? We all have the ability to be authentic. A lot of the content Rebecca writes comes from her own personal experience including her fears, hopes, and dreams. She is also inspired by her clients and their experience. She thinks that we can all increase the amount of truth we’re willing to tell. It’s almost like you take failure and doubt and use it as a positive message. Our life is our content. There’s the saying -it’s either a good time or a good story. She works with a lot of coaches and consultant whose clients are just an earlier version of them. Our own lives are just a goldmine of content which is untapped. Self-expression can create a very authentic community online. I’m trying to be more transparent about what my message is. And it’s a pain point for me. Rebecca suggests an exercise. Imagine the soul that you were contracted to work with before you came into this body. That human being is sitting in front of you and your life depends on inspiring them into action. You have 10 minutes to do that – what do you say? Don’t analyze it. Just trust it. Let’s talk a little bit about feel-good marketing. What’s your approach? How do you make people feel good about marketing themselves? The old way’s of marketing, that felt icky is on the way out. People try to use methods of marketing that aren’t true to who they are. Rebecca is a big fan of Human Design. Looking at someone's personality and how to make this all organic and integrated it into their lives. You don’t have a fancy funnel. You mostly use Facebook. She does have an email funnel but that’s not the bulk of her income. The bulk of her income is from group programs and 1 on 1 coaching that comes from her organic, personal Facebook profile. For her post, she asks herself – What’s going on in her world? What’s the lesson she is learning and how does this apply to her ideal client? I identify as someone more private. What’s your viewpoint on people who feel more private in terms of that mass exposure? She believes that your desires are given to you for a reason. And you have the equipment to find your own answers. Figure out what you went and then what’s required to get there. Some people are private and some people feel a lot of shame over being out there. Don’t do what doesn’t feel right to you. But also examine the why behind what comes up for yourself. How did you become the content queen? When she first started her business she was a life and relationship coach who had a background in marketing. She was still working at a marketing company while started her life-coaching business. She gradually shifted to coaching people on their marketing. Rebecca was more conventional and less authentic than she is now. Then she experienced some online bullying and she wrote about it. This was the most authentic thing she’d published online and it was the first post to go viral. She was shocked that something so personal could do so well. That was when she started being more real online. I want to ask about your personal practices. I’m curious, what has had the biggest impact for you? Making correct decisions. Human Design has had a really big impact on her. Understanding her energetic make-up and making a decision that is in line with her energy and what’s really best for her has been super helpful. Our lives are a product of decisions. Can you share a bit more about human design? Human design is a system which combines astrology, the I-ching, Chakras and diagnoses you into different energy types depending on how your aura is constructed. A big part of human design is how do you make the best decisions for your life. What kind of meditation do you do? She does the sit and breathe style of meditation. She just sits and listens to her breath and tries to do it for 5 mins a day. What’s a failure or rejection that you now see as a gift? She’s had launches that she thought were going to do well but didn’t. Anytime that expectations aren’t met she always find that it is a sign you need to evolve. Any time you can take something less personally the better. There have definitely been times she has said something that got negative feedback online. Now she only takes feedback from people she knows personally. How do you handle negative comments? She builds her infrastructure. She has developed deep friendships with people who love her and that helps her weather it. She also looks at whether there’s any truth to the comments and sometimes there is. We overcomplicate things and that’s when we find it difficult to maneuver but it’s mostly in our heads. 100%. This is something that coaches who deal with deep complex things can sometimes struggle with. You have to give people real tangible, specific examples of things so it can form a groove in their mind and they get it more. The better you understand something the better you can explain it. If you can’t explain your program to a 7-year-old, then work on that a little. Do you have favorite marketing books? Most of what Rebecca has learnt about marketing she’s learned through doing. She worked at a digital marketing company for 6 years and learned on the job from bosses and mentors. She watching what people were doing to see what worked and what didn’t. She feels that for online marketing, once it’s written in a book, it’s old news. She thinks Gary Vaynerchuk knows his stuff when it comes to online marketing. Although he can be controversial he understands the psychology of marketing and what works and doesn’t on the internet. But she hasn’t read any of his books… We’re all marketing ourselves all the time. Even if you’re not running a business. Even in the job market, you are marketing yourself Rebecca loves applying for jobs. When she was at college she loved applying for internships and in fact, her first internship was not advertised. She reached out to a magazine with writing samples and specific ideas of how she could help them and they hired her. For someone who is exploring their own business, who has a certain skill, maybe it’s writing, maybe it’s coaching or fitness or something. And they want to get their first client. How do you recommend they have this conversation? You’ve got to normalize your subconscious and conscious mind that what you want is possible. You need to know that this is possible and not just something you see on the internet. It’s important to surround yourself with people who are doing what you want to do. She’s not opposed to working for free in the beginning. Positioning yourself in front of other peoples audiences is also a great way to grow when you’re starting out. She recommends getting on the phone with a lot of people. Don’t be afraid of the phone. Your sales come with conversations with people. We all have an audience already. If we have Facebook, we have followers. We all have a community. Rebecca's first client was a family friend. Her next few clients came from workshops she did at a local yoga studio. Then she got hired by a guy she went on a blind date with. You can make money before anybody knows who you are on the internet. What direction do you think online marketing is going? Brands and people are colliding. Big brands are using influencers more and more. The traditional celebrities are molding into internet celebrities. The human element is becoming more and more important. The old school idea that marketing has to be hard and about hustling is not true. That doesn’t mean you don’t show up and do the work. Working energetically correctly is more and more a thing that she sees people trying to do. What are your favorite words? She loves the word bespoke. Humany human is something she uses that means being a human is messy.  What’s the best advice you’ve ever been given? Your health is most important. You have to take care of your health first. Be nice to yourself. She thinks we could all use a little more self-love and self-kindness and she just tries to remember that. What’s an action that you want to invite listeners to take? Do a little audit. If you have a business do an audit of your marketing and what you spend your time doing right now. Get curious about why you’re doing what you’re doing and consider if it doesn’t feel good. Marketing should be pleasurable and profitable. I love this answer but I want to challenge you on it. We have to push ourselves out of our comfort zone if we want to grow and expand. Sometimes that doesn’t feel good. There’s a difference between doing uncomfortable things and doing draining, depleting activities. If she gets invited to speak on stage in front of a couple of hundred people it’s going to feel scary but it’s also going to feel expansive. That’s an example of feeling good. If She gets an opportunity to work with a new client but they don’t want to pay her rates and it’s not actually aligned with her values but thinks she should do it, that is going to feel bad and not in alignment.

Rebecca Rubin is a feel-good marketing coach for women entrepreneurs and runs her own business, The Pursuit of Fabulous. In this interview, we discuss what a marketing coach is, how Rebecca built her business up from side hustle to full-time, and how she works with her clients remotely - both from her home base in DC and while traveling the world. She also talks about the surprising consequences of being on Remote Year and her advice for people who think what they want isn’t possible for them.

As the new administration seeks to cut all climate and clean energy, we thought it was a good time to re-air our interview with Rebecca R. Rubin, Founder/CEO of Marstel Day, the environmental consulting firm that's been helping the U.S. government clean up their act for over 15 years. The U.S. government agencies really are reducing their carbon footprint. Find out how. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It’s easy to devalue all we have to offer the world. It’s even easier to tell ourselves that while our dreams aren’t being realized today, we’ll get there eventually. And then the years just keep rolling by. Life continues moving forward, not stopping for us to have a chance to shift and get ahead. Sometimes to really get into the life work that’s been calling us from our heart and soul, we get to make BIG + COURAGEOUS shifts. And sometimes (most of the time) not everyone in our world will understand or cheer us on.
