This is not enough for us. We want more, a lot more! We want a Philippa Georgiou series, similar to Picard.

Following the lead, Philippa Georgiou, who is stated to be from an alternate timeline she once ruled over as the Emperor of the Terran Empire, Georgiou struggles with moral dilemmas as she explores her newfound relationships whilst deciding whether to join Starfleet or not. As the movie continues, Georgiou uncovers a mysterious weapon, the Godsend, that she created long ago, threatening the stability of the universe as a whole. Georgiou's journey is presented with multiple complex alliances, enemies, and untrustworthy allies which all serve as obstacles that challenge the progress of her growth as a character and ally. The narrative of “Section 31” mixes themes of loyalty and sacrifice together, blurring the line between what is and isn't considered moral, challenging the viewers to consider how far they would go to protect those that they care about. The movie as a whole provides various insights on the complex emotions those who sacrifice the ones they love for power will face, showing how the past will always come back to haunt you eventually.

Changes in demographics, technologies and geopolitics will create a net 78 million new jobs by 2030. But current workforces are not yet skilled for these jobs and 40% of the skills needed on the job are set to change. ADP's Chief Economist Nela Richardson breaks down research from the latest World Economic Forum Future of Jobs report and key findings from ADP data - including the dramatic boost to wages upskilling could bring to some workers. She'll explain why experts might soon be focused on task creation, not job creation, what soft skills will be valued more than ever and how leaders can help prepare their teams for a new future. She'll also share lessons learned from her own professional journey including how competing on her high school debate team has shaped how she communicates and connects with people to this day – and the two words she uses more than any other as a leader.

In this Uprising Podcast episode hosted by Andy Cleff, Michael "Mad Dog" Dougherty and Pete "OK" Oliver-Krueger discuss their new book "Shift from Product to People" - a novel exploring the third wave of agile adoption. Through rich character development inspired by real people and the Enneagram personality system, they illustrate how organizations struggle even after implementing agile practices and DevOps. Mike and Pete reveal why focusing on frameworks and processes alone isn't enough, sharing their vision of people-first transformation. They discuss the evolution from individual team agility (Wave 1) through scaled frameworks (Wave 2) to their proposed third wave - returning focus to people while solving real organizational problems. Drawing from their extensive consulting experience, Mad Dog and OK explore how the consulting industry's obsession with frameworks has sometimes overshadowed the human element that makes agile truly effective. They also preview their next two books that will complete the trilogy, including "Shift from Products to Problems."

She believes in the potential of transformation in each present moment. She is a mother, natural builder, hair-dresser and conflict mediator at her village. A social activist committed to anti-oppression work in areas of race, gender and class differences.

She is now a Life Coach based in authenticity and Tantric Philosophy. You can find her @tantramom on Instagram. We have a conversation about The Householder's Path. When you choose a spiritual path it doesn't necessarily mean you renounce everything. The Path of the Householder is an everyday person with a job and a family, in other words is engaged in an earthly life but also has a spiritual practice. Mana shares with us what led her on this path and how she is continuously practicing this balance. “Don't expect the spiritual path be the same for everyone...find your own way.”  Mana Vermeulen-McLeod Contact: Mana Vermeulen-McLeod Instagram: @tantramom   Related Podcasts with Mana: Women working in Male Dominated Workplaces Exploring Our Racial Biases   Let's Talk About It!   Thanks for tuning into this week's episode of Relationships!

“Stab the Hydra in the heart.” Cal Newport is not pulling any punches with his latest treatise on how we can combat Hyperactive Hive Mind with smarter systems for communication. Email has become a constant source of guilt and stress for so many of us — listen in for strategies to reclaim your peace and focus. This episode originally aired on March 21, 2021. About Cal Newport: Cal Newport is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Georgetown University. He is the author of six books, including Deep Work, which argues that focus is the new I.Q. in the modern workplace. His latest, A World Without Email: Reimagining Work in an Age of Communication Overload, is in many ways his magnum opus on the topic of technology and the workplace. Be sure to also check out his podcast, Deep Questions. Key questions: How can you approach email as a process observer (and architect), not a do-er? What people or workflows can you put in place to eliminate email? Where are you still reacting to the Hyperactive Hive Mind? What experiment can you run this week? ❤️ Enjoying the show?

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: A list of EA-related podcasts, published by M_Allcock on the Effective Altruism Forum. Podcasts are a great way to learn about EA. Here's a list of the EA-related podcasts I've come across over the last few years of my podcast obsession. I've split them up into two categories: Strongly EA-related podcasts: Podcasts run by EA organisations or otherwise explicitly EA-related. Podcasts featuring EA-related episodes: Podcasts which are usually not EA-related but have some episodes which are about an EA idea or interviewing an EA-aligned guest. Please add to the comments any podcasts that I have missed. I am always excited to find out about more interesting podcasts! Strongly EA-related podcasts Doing Good Better Podcast- Five short episodes about EA concepts. Produced by the Centre for Effective Altruism. No new content since 2017. The Life You Can Save Podcast- Episodes from Peter Singer's organisation that focus on alleviating global poverty. The latest episodes are interviews with EA organisation staff. The Turing Test - The newly restarted EA podcast from the Harvard University EA group. Interviews with EA thinkers including Brian Tomasik on ethics, animal welfare, and a focus on suffering, and Scott Weathers on Charity Science Health. 80,000 Hours Podcast - Robert Wiblin leads long-form interviews (up to 4 hours) with individuals in high impact careers.

In 1999, I began my recovery from over 13 years of porn and sex addiction. One of the first books I read was Russell Willinghams' foundational work, Breaking Free: Understanding Sexual Addiction and the Healing Power of Jesus. To this day I am reaping the benefits of this resource. In fact, the name of our ministry, Be Broken, is due in large part because of chapter 9 in Breaking Free, entitled “The Courage to Be Broken.” Today's guest is none other than Russell Willingham. Russell has worked full-time with sexually broken people since 1993. He oversees individual, couples and group counseling at New Creation Ministries in Fresno, California. He has spoken widely across the nation on issues related to sexual addiction, the healing process, marital intimacy and spiritual formation. In this episode, Russell shares insights from his 30+ years of experience to understand sexual brokenness strongholds and how we can be truly set free from such compulsions. He unpacks the goodness of our desires, the reality of the struggle with sexual temptation, and the practical application of God's Word in experiencing freedom, peace, hope, and joy that comes from authentic community.Learn more about Russell and his counseling ministry at NCMFresno.org.Related Podcasts and Media: Breaking Free from Your Secret HabitFreedom vs. AbstinenceFreedom and Healing from Shame, Addiction, and Abuse----------Please rate and review our podcast: Apple PodcastsSubscribe to our YouTube channel.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/pure-sex-radio/donations

Thank you for your patience as I've been in deep work hibernation mode behind the scenes! I launched my new podcast Free Time in March of this year, and I'm really excited to bring you a crossover episode, one of the early listener favorites with Cal Newport on his latest book, A World Without Email. I also *just* sent my next book to the printer, which I was honored to have Cal provide a cover blurb for! Free Time: Lose the Busy Work, Love Your Business launches in March of 2022. Cal is not pulling any punches with his latest treatise on how we can combat Hyperactive Hive Mind with smarter systems for communication. Email has become a source of guilt and stress for so many of us — listen in for strategies to reclaim your peace and focus. About Cal Newport: Cal Newport is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Georgetown University. He is the author of six books, including Deep Work, which argues that focus is the new I.Q. in the modern workplace. His latest, A World Without Email: Reimagining Work in an Age of Communication Overload, is in many ways his magnum opus on the topic of technology and the workplace. Be sure to also check out his podcast, Deep Questions. Key questions: How can you approach email as a process observer (and architect), not a do-er? What people or workflows can you put in place to eliminate email? Where are you still reacting to the Hyperactive Hive Mind? What experiment can you run this week?

“To understand the concepts of balance and counterbalance through posture and placement, it is helpful to identify (1) each of the three body planes, which link two of the three dimensions of height, width, and depth, (2) the center of gravity, (3) the central vertical axis, and (4) the base of support.” - Rory Foster, Ballet Pedagogy: The Art of Teaching Peggy Hackney provides a nice succinct summary of the Laban Movement Analysis definition of the dimensions and planes of space in her book, Making Connections: “Our world has three cardinal dimensions. Each dimension contains two directions which are opposite poles: Vertical--Up/Down; Sagittal--Forward/Backward; Horizontal--Left/Right or sideward open/sideward closed. Each direction is one spatial pull. For instance, the vertical dimension has ‘up' as one pull and ‘down' as another; the sagittal has ‘forward' as one pull and ‘backward' as another; the horizontal has ‘right' as one pull and ‘left' as the other...Dimensions form the internal structure of the Octahedron. Planes--Movement in the three cardinal planes is movement which invests in two spatial pulls at the same time; for instance up and left in the vertical plane. Each plane is like a flat cycle, or rectangle. These planes form the internal structure of the Icosahedron. Vertical Plane--combines Up/Down and Right/Left; Sagittal Plane--combines Forward/Backward and Up/Down; Horizontal Plane--combines Right/Left and Forward/Backward.” Related Podcasts: 003: Finding an Oriented State of Being, & 013: Electric Flow in Dance, Yoga, & Life As I mentioned last week, the topic of establishing physical integrity and alignment is also related to integrity in our actions. As an ontological coach, I learned through Accomplishment Coaching that “Resolving issues with one's sense of integrity is a daily practice. We begin to have a low tolerance for being out of integrity. We practice and grow greater awareness of our integrity. Making choices based on a context that victimizes us becomes unacceptable. Our lives take on a new power when we are in process to restore our integrity.” In the future, I'll cover related topics about the crystalline structure of the performance space in ballet and dance, how different schools of classical ballet classify the walls and corners of the stage differently, the way in which Laban Movement Analysis identifies affinities between moving in the spatial dimensions with qualities and moods, all of this as choreographic inspiration, and more! I invite you to become aware of your posture as it relates to these spatial ideas, and start practicing physical integration for your dancing and your life.

Hello! Welcome to another edition of Inside The Newsroom, as we welcome in Cass Sunstein, a professor at Harvard Law School and one of the foremost behavioural economists to have ever lived. Cass has a new book out in September called Too Much Information, which explores the theory that when information is positive, we eat it up, but when it’s negative we don’t want to even hear it. In the podcast, we dissected his 2008 book Nudge, which still has great influence more than a decade later. Before we do, I wanted to honor the passing of another legend to have walked this planet. Congressman John Lewis passed away over the weekend at the age of 80. John was an absolute icon when it came to civil rights, and carried the torch lit by Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks well into the 21st century. Rest in peace, Congressman. Sharing Is CaringPodcasts are fun. I love doing them. But they take a bloody long time to put together. I estimate a single hour podcast and newsletter takes around 12 hours to put together. So how about a cheeky share to show your appreciation? Please and thank you. 🙏Job CornerThe job board has been updated and this week’s deadlines include jobs at CTV, the Financial Times, Newsquest, Poynter, the Pulitzer Center and the City NY. Spread the word. 🤜🤛Who is Cass Sunstein?Cass is considered one of the smartest behavioural economists and legal scholars on the planet. He’s the founder and director of the Program on Behavioural Economics and Public Policy at his alma mater, Harvard Law School, the author of dozens of books — one of which (Nudge) is the subject of the podcast, and was the administrator of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs from 2009 to 2012 in the Obama administration, of whom he became friends with during their time together at the University of Chicago. I’ve followed Cass’ work for a long time, so it was an absolute treat to hear him speak at the London School of Economics back in January on his then latest book How Change Happens (more on that later). NudgeTogether with Richard Thaler, Cass co-authored perhaps his most influential book, Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness. Published in 2008, the book describes the theory that almost all decisions we make in life, whether it’s where and when to buy a house or even as small as picking what to have for lunch from a restaurant menu, are influenced by the decisions and frames, or “nudges”, made by other humans, aka “choice architects”. For example, would you go bungee jumping if the instructor told you there was a 90 percent chance nothing bad would happen? Probably. But what about if the instructor told you there was a 10 percent chance you’ll die if you jump? Probably not, right? The book was well-received among free market policy makers as a way to increase economic activity. But you can apply the theory in almost every aspect of life, such as where in a new school an architect chooses to place the bathroom will determine how often students go to the toilet. Cass and Thaler have been heavily influenced by another pair of behavioural scientists, Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman, whose friendship helped shape the world we live in today…The Undoing ProjectThe friendship between Tversky and Kahneman is among the most important in recent history, and was excellently chronicled by author Michael Lewis in The Undoing Project: A Friendship that Changed the World. Lewis documents how the two Israeli psychologists identified in the late 1960s how humans tend to make decisions based on emotion over rationality — see Moneyball. Before Tversky and Kahneman, not much was known about why we make the decisions we do, and their work has since influenced most, if not all, behavioural economic theory we have today, including that of Cass and Thaler. Check out Lewis speak about the book and friendship to Malcolm Gladwell below…Related Podcasts 🎙️#61 — Rachel Botsman (University of Oxford) on issues with trusting people and the media#58 — Art Markman (University of Texas) on knowing ourselves and the power of introversion#44 — Sebastian Junger (Tribe, The Perfect Storm) on how some humans are addicted to war because it unites themHow Change HappensAs mentioned earlier, I was lucky enough to catch Cass speak at the LSE about his latest book on how social change happens. Why is that after around 150,000 years that we Homo Sapiens have occupied this planet, that it took until the early 19th century for women in many countries to vote? And how did the social movement that led to women in Saudi Arabia being able to vote in 2015 even start? Once we understand what’s happened in the past then we can begin to dismantle other archaic and repressive policies around the world. Check out Cass’ talk by clicking on the button below…What is Luck?So many of our decisions influenced by other people. Cass elicits that 100 percent of our decisions are controlled by choice architects, whether it’s intentional or not. It raises the question of whether luck is real or a fictional concept we’ve made up over past centuries and millennia. The answer to this question depends on the situation. According to Merriam Webster, luck is “the events or circumstances that operate for or against an individual”. So let’s break it down with a few examples personal to me, but please apply to your own circumstances as we go along…Let’s start with how I believe I got my current job at The Wall Street Journal. Back in February, a member of the graphics team got in touch about a possible opening and told me I should apply. One might call that lucky, but said member follows this very newsletter and thus was familiar with my work. They wouldn’t have been if I hadn’t published this newsletter, so I don’t think my new job was down to luck. That’s something I indirectly controlled, i.e. the quality and quantity of my work. But there are still many things that I’ve had zero control over. The most prominent in all of our lives are things such as which country we’re born in, our sex at birth and what name our parents give us. We have absolutely no control over any of that, which means that some degree of luck is involved that’ll determine where we live, how much money we’ll earn and whether we’ll face a lifetime of racism or not, for example. In what ways has luck played a part in your lives?The Future of Behavioural EconomicsTversky and Kahneman only started to theorize in the late 1960s, which makes the field of behavioural economics incredibly young. Already in the past half a century, we’ve learned so much about ourselves and how our brains are wired. As we head into the next 50 years, Cass fully expects the explosion of knowledge to continue at a rapid rate. He referenced books such as Scarcity: Why having too little means so much, which explores why people in difficult circumstances tend to make objectively bad decisions. For example, why is it that people in poverty don’t take advantage of opportunities to save when they can? Why are poor people perceived as less capable than rich people? I know a lottttt of wealthy folks that are stupid asses!Now that we have a decent understanding of how our brains work, we can continue to build from Cass’ work and apply this knowledge to improve people’s lives. Cass referenced the idea of getting rid of the ‘sludge’ — he apologized for the similar-sounding name to this book, Nudge — to make our lives far easier. Sludge is the burdens and hoops institutions make us jump through in order to complete important and sometimes trivial tasks. For example, to my knowledge Transport For London don’t tell you if you’ve crossed into a congestion charge zone — it costs at least £15 to drive in certain areas in central London — which is a form of choice architecture that has created ‘sludge’ for drivers in not knowing whether they need to pay. And in the U.S., the process of finding a healthcare provider, filling out the forms and receiving a payout is a tedious task created by humans that can be easily avoided. Now that we know sludge exists and we have a snazzy word for it, we can figure out ways to reduce it. See you later this week… 👋 Get on the email list at insidethenewsroom.substack.com

What follows is a 2-hour conversation with Dr. Gaven Kerr and Karlo Broussard on the famous 5 Ways of Thomas Aquinas, in which we argue their success as metaphysical demonstrations for the existence of God. In part 1, we introduce the project of natural theology, lay out the background metaphysics needed to understand each of the arguments, and then explore The 1st and 2nd Way while addressing common objections and misunderstands. Part 2 will be arriving next week, in which we'll finish our discussion of the Five Ways, consider additional objections, and further unpack the divine attributes.

In this episode Chris Cubbage speaks with John Blaxland, Professor of International Security & Intelligence Studies, Strategic and Defence Studies Centre and Jacinta Carroll, Senior Research Fellow, Counter Terrorism and Social Cohesion, National Security College, each at the Australian National University. We discuss the immediate national and regional security implications of how 2020 is panning out and open discussion around military, national security and civilian vulnerability, including in a cyber context. This is a broad discussion around China’s culpability of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, how the propaganda battle is intensifying and the boutique nature of the Australian Defence Force – whilst we and other nations are focused on fighting a pandemic, what other fights may we yet need to face and how do we continue on a course of national resiliency, opportunities whilst managing risk across a range of domains and against a range of adversaries.

Hello! And welcome to another episode of Inside The Newsroom. It’s April, which means we’re officially inside the 2020 U.S. tornado season, so today we have WEATHER ROYALTY on the podcast. James Spann is chief meteorologist at ABC 33/40 in Birmingham, Alabama, and an absolute God within the severe weather community. I visited James in-person a couple of years ago to talk about his more than 40 years as a broadcast meteorologist, as well as his troubled upbringing growing up without his father. James recently published his autobiography which can be found on all the usual websites. This time around James and I spoke about what the 2020 tornado season may have in store for us, and what tornado preparation his and other states are doing amid the coronavirus.Below is a rundown of everything we talked about and more, but first a quick shoutout to friend of the show (and former guest) Andrea Jones-Rooy who is the funniest data scientist alive today. Right, let’s get to it! ✊Picks of the WeekDonate To Journalists — Seattle Times journalist Paige Cornwell has set up a Go Fund Me page to help laid off and furloughed journalists. I donated $20 yesterday. Not much, but it all helps.Brian Kemp — While the entire world knew we can carry symptoms of the coronavirus without showing them, Georgia’s Governor announced this week that he didn’t know such a thing, which will directly cost lives in his state. U.S. Unemployment — The second major rise in unemployment claims was announced yesterday, something we’ll be addressing next week.James 👇Will You Like Me?Before you read on, please like this edition of Inside The Newsroom by clicking the ❤️ up top.

Cheers.2020 Tornado Season ForecastWe’re “officially” inside the U.S. tornado season, which typically runs from the start of April to the end of June. I say “officially” because tornadoes can and do strike in any month of the year and in every single U.S. state. Last year was above average with a reported 1,676 tornadoes compared with an average of 1,306 per year since 2000. And 2020 could be another above average year, according to experts from AccuWeather:“AccuWeather forecasts a normal to slightly above-normal number of tornadoes in 2020 with a range of 1,350 to 1,450. That range is close to what occurred in 2019 and 5 to 15 percent more than the U.S. annual average.”Already there have been 180 tornado reports so far this year, including unusually high reports in January and February, and a modest amount in March. But April is where things typically kick off, as warm moist air from the Gulf of Mexico rises west across the U.S. until it meets the cold dry air from the Rockies, typically somewhere in Tornado Alley — Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas — or Dixie Alley — Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia.The deadliest tornado outbreak so far this year was on March 3 and produced two separate EF3 (winds up to 165mph) and EF4 (up to 200 mph) tornadoes, according to the Enhanced Fujita Scale, including one that ripped through downtown Nashville. Twenty-four people have been confirmed dead and three people are still missing. Good chance to point out that tornadoes CAN AND DO hit large cities. Don’t believe otherwise.Long-Term Tornado TrendsLike with any weather phenomena, we can’t definitively say whether tornadoes are becoming more frequent or powerful based on a single event. Nor can we absolutely say whether the number of tornadoes is increasing from just a handful of years of data. Instead, we can accurately say that climate change has and will continue to make the chances of tornadoes more likely, especially those super duper EF4 and EF5 twisters that can flatten entire towns and cities. But even then, there are so many moving parts — better radar technology, more tornado spotters, more populated cities — that the data is never going to be 100 percent the same comparing one year to another. That said, there are a couple of critical long-term trends that I’ve written about before.First up is the Expanding Bulls-Eye Effect affecting every city in every state. It’s effectively the urban sprawl problem: As more people flock to cities in tornado prone areas, the larger the target for tornadoes to strike. The likes of Oklahoma City (more on that later), Dallas and Atlanta are all among the most vulnerable cities of a large-scale disaster. Credit: Stephen M. Strader and Walker S. AshleyAnd the effects are already being felt. In Forney, a suburb 20 miles east of Dallas, the population has grown 390 percent to more than 20,000 people in the past 30 years. On this very day eight years ago, 17 tornadoes touched down in North Texas including one that completely destroyed Crosby Elementary School in Forney. Had it happened just a decade before, the tornado would have hit an open field. Credit: Yours TrulyLess simple is the rise in tornadoes being reported in the southeastern states. In recent decades, the percentage of total twisters in the U.S. to touch down in Dixie Alley has dramatically increased, and when it comes to number of lives lost, Dixie Alley is now the deadliest tornado region in the entire world. That’s due to a combination of more populous cities than Tornado Alley (see above), but also the detached attitudes of people in the south. I was talking to a friend who studied in Atlanta just before the 2008 tornado that ripped up downtown and he had no idea tornadoes even hit Georgia, let alone in the very city he was living. Unfortunately that’s still the case in many southeastern cities, though the more tornadoes that do hit, the more people will have no other choice than to pay attention.Credit: Yours TrulyIn terms of the annual number of tornadoes increasing, that also has many nuances. Like we spoke about above, climate change is and will have a real impact on the size and frequency of tornadoes. But radar technology has also dramatically increased since the mid-1990s, and the popularity of the movie Twister unleashed storm chasing as a cult, which means more tornadoes are being spotted and reported than ever before.States’ Tornado PreparednessStates in Tornado and Dixie Alley will need to make impossible decisions in the coming days, if they haven’t already done so. The dilemma of prioritising safety from tornadoes or coronavirus isolation will likely mean new confirmed cases, as some states have opened community tornado shelters. But a tornado rolling through town is the more immediate threat. Alternatively, some states face leaving some residents without the extremely expensive personal tornado shelter high and dry.In James’ state, the Alabama Public Health Department released a statement saying that tornadoes took first priority, but “educated decisions” should be made to avoid contracting the coronavirus. In Missouri, which too sees it’s fair share of tornadoes, Springfield-Greene County also urged people to take personal safety in community shelters if needed. But in Oklahoma, it’ll be left up to local jurisdictions to decide whether to open public shelters or uphold recommendations against gatherings of more than 10 people. Without sounding like a local TV meteorologist myself, each state will differ in its policy so please check your local listings for more information. How the OKC Weather War Advanced Warning SystemsLike journalists, meteorologists struggle to get their message through to readers and viewers because of all the noise in today’s media world. Social media has both helped and harmed James’ work, as he’s now able to connect directly with people in his market and constantly pump out warnings and other information. But the distrust in, well, everything right now means some people don’t believe warnings until it’s too late.I’ve been in tornado warnings in three states and every time I was glued to the TV screen. Heck, I even tune in sometimes from the UK for fun. Still, if you’re like me then you’ll know all about the colorful radar maps and high-tech wind velocities and strength measures used on air. And if you’re in Oklahoma City, you’ll likely get a birds-eye view of the action via helicopters that hover a mile or two away from the actual tornado. The below video is from the historic EF5 Moore Tornado from May 2013.There might not be a larger city that sees more tornadoes in the U.S. than Oklahoma City does and, because of that, there may not be a more knowledgable and eager audience yearning for wall-to-wall coverage of tornado events than Oklahomans. That thirst resulted in an all-out ratings war between KFOR and KWTV during the nineties and noughties, led by weather Gods Gary England and Mike Morgan, respectively. In the past decade, friend of the podcast Damon Lane of KOCO joined the scene after his Herculean coverage of the Moore Tornado in 2013 that saw him live on air for around 13 hours straight. Anyway, much what of what we see on TV these days when it comes to severe weather can be traced back to little old Oklahoma City. If you’re interested in this stuff, I can’t recommend Holly Bailey’s The Mercy of the Sky enough.Tornado Communication TodayResearch on how and why tornadoes exist is critical, as we still don’t really know the answers to these questions. An exciting new breakthrough from scientists at the University of Mississippi, Oklahoma State University and University of Nebraska-Lincoln involves what’s known as ‘infrasound’, which might be able to more accurately predict tornadoes and dramatically reduce the false alarm rate that could be as high as 75 percent. The idea being that the ‘fluid mechanics’ of a tornado create noise too quiet for the human ear to hear, but loud enough for tiny microphones to pick up. Below is an interview with one of the scientists from Ole Miss, Dr. Roger Waxler, on James’ own podcast, WeatherBrains, in which the research is delved into with great detail. If the technology can be proven successful, it could revolutionize the entire weather industry.Tornadoes Around the GlobeWe have to be careful when looking at the countries most prone to tornadoes, because some people misinterpret simple data, like these scum who say England is the tornado capital of the world. It’s not. Instead, I prefer to listen to the experts, like Dr. Harold Brooks, senior scientist at NOAA’s National Severe Storms Laboratory. Because of the ripe conditions — a mix of warm moist air with cold dry air — the likes of Canada, Italy, India and Brazil are among the countries to get the most twisters. Many other South American and Southern Asian countries also see vast amounts of twisters because of the mountainous regions that allow different air types to meet. So no, England isn’t anywhere near the tornado capital.Related Podcasts#60 — Michael Mann (Penn State) on spending his sabbatical observing wildfires in Australia#53 — Emily Atkin (Heated) on starting the most popular newsletter on climate change#42 — Kait Parker (Weather.com) on the link between hurricanes and climate change#37 — Josh Morgerman and Caroline Menzies (Hurricane Man) on shooting the wildly popular documentary Hurricane Man#17 — James Spann (ABC 33/40) on 40 years forecasting weather and his fatherless upbringing #2 — Damon Lane (KOCO) on inside covering the 2013 Moore Tornado and the emotional toll it has to this dayLast Time…Pandemics That Changed History#68 — Mckayla Wilkes (U.S. House) on taking on No. 2 House Democrat Steny Hoyer and why the U.S. needs Universal Basic Income… Next TimeNext week we’ll quantitative futurist and CEO on Future Today Institute Amy Webb to talk about why governments and businesses weren’t more prepared for a pandemic, as well what tech trends will hit the world in 2020.Job CornerThe Inside The Newsroom Job Board will be launched on Monday.

Hello! And welcome to another episode of Inside The Newsroom. We’re in crazy times, so I thought it’d be good to take a break with today’s podcast guest… Sarah Nöckel, founder of Femstreet, a newsletter dedicated to women in tech and venture capital. Femstreet has exploded in popularity and influence since Sarah started it about two years ago, and we dug deep into how she grew her following to more than 7,000 subscribers from nothing, and what influence she’s had in narrowing the inequality gap. On Friday we’ll have an update on the you know what, specifically looking at what each U.S. state has done and is doing to combat the spread. Until then, enjoy some normality and stay safe out there.

So in September 2017, Sarah published her first article to just a handful of subscribers. More than 100 editions of Femstreet later, Sarah now publishes to more than 7,000 subscribers. While the content is targeted at women in tech and VC, her lessons and experience can be used and applied by anyone anywhere. Four of the biggest lessons Sarah has learned, which I share and couldn’t put better myself, include…Niche doesn’t mean small. Like-minded people find each otherFocus. Depth not breadthGenuine personal brand is importantCreate for the best readers, not all the readersWhat you can do now: start something. It doesn’t matter what, but with more downtime in these crazy times, just start with the first block, and then add to it every day.The Gap Is Closing, But Not Fast EnoughEvery year the World Economic Forum publishes its Global Gender Gap Report, which covers aspects including Economic Participation and Opportunity, Educational Attainment, Health and Survival, and Political Empowerment. I dived into the 2020 edition to see what the current situation is and how large the strides we’re making are. Below is a summary of the main findings…Overall global gender parity is at 68.6 percent, up slightly from a year before. That figure is pulled up and down by different countries and subindexes, but overall, gender equality is improving.The subindex with the largest disparity is Political Empowerment — the number of women represented in parliaments around the world, followed by Economic Participation and Opportunity — the ability of women to enter the workplace. Educational Attainment and Health and Survival have 96.1 percent and 95.7 percent parity, respectively. The latter two are very positive.The number of women in parliament has improved dramatically in recent years, especially in countries such as Latvia, Spain and Thailand. But still only a quarter of the more than 35,000 global parliamentary seats are occupied by women. In some countries, women aren’t represented at all.The number of women in senior roles around the world has also increased. Globally, around 36 percent of senior private sector managers and public sector officials are women, a rise of about 2 percent from last year. This metric is also heavily weighted by a handful of countries.New problems exist lower down the ladder though. On average, only 55 percent of adult women are in the workforce, compared with 78 percent of men. Educational Attainment is another subindex weighted by developed countries in the west. Ten percent of women around the world are still illiterate. Significantly more investment is needed in developing countries.Progress is being made, but not fast enough. The overall global gender gap is slated to be closed in 100 years; Political Empowerment will take around 95 years to close; Economic Participation and Opportunity will take 257 years to close. BUT there is better news: Educational Attainment is on track to close over the next 12 years!Unsurprisingly, Western Europe has the highest gender parity of any region, followed by North America, Latin America and the Caribbean, Eastern Europe and Central Asia.At the current pace, overall gender gaps could be closed in 54 years in Western Europe, 59 years in Latin America and the Caribbean, 71 years in South Asia, and a whopping 151 years in North America.The five most improved countries in this year’s report are Ethiopia, Spain, Mali, Albania and Mexico.Iceland (God bless you) is once again the most gender-equal country for the 11th time in a row with a disparity of just 12 percent. In second is Norway, followed by Finland and Sweden. Notice anything?Like Me, Please?Hope you’re finding this edition useful. If you can, please click the ❤️ at the top.

Thank you.What Scandanavia Is Doing That Other Countries Are NotBefore we lavish the Nordics too much, we must recognize that many senior positions within corporations and government are still held by old white men. Let me say that all old white men are not evil, but when you have too many of any one group or demographic controlling a system, said system becomes slow-moving and reactive, instead of being progressive and proactive. That said, the likes of Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Finland are the best countries in the world for gender equality.In Iceland, women have had the best working conditions of any other country for 11 years in a row now. Part of why comes from the fact that for centuries, women have stayed at home while the men traversed the oceans. As a result, women had to play the role of farmer, hunter, architect, builder and so on. Now that overseas exploration isn’t really a thing, women and their contribution are sewn into the country’s fabric. Similar histories can be told of many countries around the world, but Scandanavia has taken advantage the most and is part of why they are also among the happiest countries in the world. Serena Williams Gave Birth, Then Lost Her RankingJust one recent example of the hardships women have to break through that men don’t involves the greatest tennis to have ever stepped onto the court. In January 2017, Serena Williams left on maternity leave ranked No. 1 in the world, having won the 2017 Australian Open while 20 weeks pregnant. Insane. When she returned to the game at the 2018 French Open, she was suddenly ranked No. 415. The WTA’s maternity leave rules back then meant that Serena lost out on ranking points for the entire time she was out. Serena being Serena used her platform to speak out on the issue and the WTA has since revised its policy to allow new mothers to use their previous ranking at 12 select tournaments within a three-year period.Now this is obviously the highest-of-profile cases, and most other women don’t have the same power and influence to speak out. While Serena put her career on hold to give birth, the same can’t be said for millions of other women across the globe. As a result, fertility rates today are among the lowest ever recorded.Fertility Rates Have Plummeted, EverywhereMore and more women are choosing to go in the opposite direction to Serena, saying no to giving birth full stop. In 1960, the average women had five children (holy mackerel!), but that figure has been halved as of 2017, according to data from the World Bank. Why? Because women are finally being allowed to make decisions for themselves, and the increasing financial requirements of raising a child has become too much for many women and couples. However, there is still wild variation between different regions. What are Governments Doing to Reduce Gap?Consultancy firm McKinsey & Company identified six ways governments can intervene and speed up the closing of the gap: Laws, policies, and regulation; financial incentives and support; technology and infrastructure; creation of economic opportunity; capability building; and advocacy and shaping attitudes. Governments have the power, the money and the stakeholders to put all of these into action, but put simply, not enough are doing enough about it.

Hello, and welcome to another edition of Inside The Newsroom! I’m vacationing in Greece this week, but that ain’t no damn reason for no podcast. Bad English aside, today’s guest is… Francesca Fiorentini, journalist, author, comedian and officially the funniest person to grace Inside The Newsroom’s airwaves. Francesca is the host and head writer of Newsbroke on AJ+, contributor to The Young Turks, and host of Red, White and Who? on MSNBC. Below’s a post-game of everything we talked about and more. But first, my top articles of the week… Enjoy 🤓$70,000 minimum salary — The boss of a card payments company in Seattle introduced a $70,000 minimum salary for his staff, and the gamble has paid offClimate crisis — Where does each Democratic candidate stand on the climate crisis?Super Tuesday — The 14 states’ economies can be split into four typesFrancesca 👇The ‘Trump Effect’ on ComedyFrancesca began as a journalist and editor for multiple outlets before taking up stand up comedy in 2011, thus beginning her hilarious intertwined brand of comedy and journalism. She’s the latest up-and-comer of a trend made most famous by the legendary Jon Stewart, whose The Daily Show blurred the line between comedy and journalism so much that, at some points over the past decade, was the source of honest news in America. Stewart’s meteoric rise to fame shadowed the changing media landscape that allowed his epic rants and satirical takedowns of Fox News to go viral across the interwebs. Nowadays we have the likes of Michelle Wolf, Jon Oliver and Trevor Noah carrying the torch and blurring the line even further. And that’s where Francesca comes in, who managed to convince Al Jazeera to give her a shot with Newsbroke, and boy did it work out. MSNBC soon came calling with Red, White and Who?, which landed her across the table in a diner with Bernie Sanders.State of Cable NewsFor all our complaints about cable news, and don’t worry, there’s plenty in the next section, the Big Three cable news outlets are doing just fine. In fact, CNN, MSNBC and Fox News are doing more than fine: In 2018, they recorded a combined $5.3 billion in revenue, by far the most they’ve ever generated and a 36 percent increase since 2015. Much of that spike was due to the ‘Donald Trump Effect’, which has sparked a renewed ratings war between the networks. But while millions of people are still glued to their TV screens, the rise of alternative media on both sides of the political spectrum has fragmented the market even further. The term “24/7 news cycle” feels weirdly archaic.It’s because of the billions of dollars in the coffers that the cable networks must do better. Yes, they’ve 24 hours of programming to fill per day, and yes there’s nothing more in this world better than watching Wolf Blitzer stare dead-eyed into a camera on election night surrounded by 200 lobbyists and political operatives, but they have the resources to actually give us quality programs and not just excess garbage squeezed out from the sausage factory. Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown was an incredible look at the world through food and people. And Lisa Ling’s This Is Life brilliantly shines a light on life and culture around the globe. But the rest of cable news has turned into an opinion-fuelled orgy (yes I coined that all by myself 😊) which only fractures the political spectrum even more. Give us more Lisa Ling. Give us more Anthony Bourdain (RIP). Chris Matthews and Chuck Todd Show Their True Colors. It’s Brown.Cable news is doing great financially, there’s no denying that. But the thing about elections and controversial presidents like Trump is that they come in cycles, literally. As we discussed above, ratings and revenues have soared because of Trump’s provocative rhetoric and general idiocy, but the ratings and profits will inevitably recede to the flat numbers from before Trump when he leaves the White House, whether that’s in 2021 or 2025. But what’s less prone to election cycles is people’s memory and anger toward corruption and conspiring against a frontrunner, which is where former journalists Chris Matthews and Chuck Todd enter the fray.Mr. Todd will need to face reality at some point to figure out his confusion of how Bernie is the frontrunner in the Democratic primary race. But what will be even more damaging to MSNBC’s long-term reputation is the constant smears of progressive candidates and their supporters. If anyone from the progressive camp even thought about comparing a politician to the Nazis, the establishment would pile on with endless criticism. But when not one but TWO MSNBC anchors compared Bernie’s rise — who himself is Jewish and whose family were murdered by the Nazis — to the Nazis invading France, the shocking reality of how low some centrists will stoop to stop Bernie is disgusting. After Matthews’ hollow apology and an accusation of sexual harassment by GQ columnist Laura Bassett, MSNBC pulled Matthews from its coverage of the South Carolina primary on Saturday. But the damage has been done. Thank the lord for Anand Giridharadas, because until MSNBC overhauls its roster of lobbyists, its reputation will remain stained. Can We Stop Climate Change and Keep Capitalism?Francesca has traveled to all parts of America over the past few years for various reporting and joke making. I asked her what issue has been underreported in the media, and her response was climate change, still. Lots of reasons can explain why, despite institutions including the UN declaring a climate emergency, the climate crisis is still not taken seriously enough. Perhaps the most telling reason is that most people don’t feel they’re affected by climate change (they are) and hence the likes of healthcare and the economy (still important) continue to dominate headlines. But that’s what many outlets are missing: Climate change is making healthcare more expensive and costing the economy billions of dollars each year. Which brings us onto our next topic: Is capitalism responsible for the climate emergency? The answer is yes, or no, depending on who you ask, but neither answer is as simple as a single syllable. It’s certainly no coincidence that the rise in the world’s emissions coincides with the explosion of globalisation that’s sent our obsession with economic growth through the roof. We’ve all played a part in fuelling capitalism, with or without knowing the implications on the environment. That’s undeniable. But where the argument becomes more nuanced, is how to escape the mess… I don’t have the answer to that, sorry.Thanks for reading this week.

Hello! And welcome to another edition of Inside The Newsroom. Today’s guest is… Jamil Smith, senior writer at Rolling Stone where he covers national affairs and culture. Jamil is one of the most prominent voices in America on race and politics, so I picked his brain on voter suppression and remembering the life of congressman Elijah Cummings, who sadly passed away last month. Both issues have shaped politics as we know it, so we got into the weeds of how to fix voting discrimination, as well as what legacy Cummings will leave behind. Below is a post-game of everything we discussed. Enjoy 💪Please Like Me, ThanksBefore you read on, please like this edition of Inside The Newsroom by clicking the ❤️ below the title. That way I’ll appear in clever algorithms and more people will be able to read.Elijah Cummings Wasn’t DoneThe news of Elijah Cummings’ passing last month sent shockwaves through the political world. On both sides of the aisle, Democrats and Republicans attended Cummings’ funeral, which lasted for four and half hours due to the volume of people lining up to give eulogies. My favorite was from Barack Obama…No matter how much Cummings achieved in his 23 years in congress — Cummings was sworn in in 1996 after winning a special election of Maryland’s 7th District — it still feels that his death, at 68 years of age, was premature. Whether it was standing up for police brutality in the aftermath of Freddie Gray’s death in his native Baltimore, or his role in the impeachment of Donald Trump, Cummings was as good as they come.And he wasn’t done. As his widow Maya Rockeymoore Cummings, and Maryland Democratic Party chairwoman, said in her statement above, Elijah was working “until his last breath”, signing two subpoenas on his deathbed, both relating to the Trump administration’s policy change to temporarily end the ability for severely ill immigrants to seek care in the United States. Congressman Elijah Cummings left behind a gargantuan legacy that will take multiple people to replicate.Jamil Smith, Rolling StoneRacism Kills, LiterallyIt’s currently unknown what led to Cummings’ death, except “complications concerning longstanding health challenges," according to his office. What we do know is that Cummings faced the brutality of racism all his life, having first being attacked by a white mob for integrating a swimming pool in Baltimore when he was just 11 years old. We also know that racism causes real health problems. According to a recent study, racism promotes genes that trigger inflammation, one of the major drivers of disease. This is just one reason why black Americans have a life expectancy at birth of 75.6 years, while white Americans are expected to live to 79.April Thomas, University of Southern CaliforniaA Real-Life PurgeOne of congressman Cummings’ biggest fights was against voter suppression, spearheading the House Oversight Committee and becoming a leading voice within the Democratic Party on several civil rights issues. Continuing that fight is Stacey Abrams, a relatively new face to the wider public who’s tipped to be a powerful voice within the Democratic Party for years to come. Abrams shot to fame after she lost by just 0.4 per cent, or less than 60,000 votes, to Republican Brian Kemp in Georgia’s race for governor in the 2018 midterms. The race was riddled with so many allegations that the House Oversight Committee, led by Cummings, launched an investigation into what really happened. While the investigation is still ongoing, it was revealed recently that top Republicans in Georgia are continuing to use their power to suppress minority voters. In what is being ripped out of Kemp’s playbook, top officials in the state are investigating and issuing subpoenas to political opponents, without publicly showing evidence there was wrongdoing by those parties.That’s where Abrams comes in. Instead of following top Democrats’ calls to run for president, Abrams launched a new national voting rights campaign, Fair Fight 2020, which aims to educate and protect voters of their rights. In some ways, Republicans understand black voters better than Democrats. While voter suppression laws aren’t as overt as they once were, individual red states now use more insidious methods carefully planned to make it harder to register and to cast a vote. In Georgia, some counties were left with just a single polling station, and it’s thought that almost 16 million Americans overall were removed from electoral register between 2014 and 2016.Oliver Laughland, The GuardianWhich States Are Most Restrictive To Vote?I was surprised to see that Virginia, a state Hillary Clinton won by more than five points, was among the most restrictive states in the country, but that can be explained by the majorities held by the Republicans in both the state House and Senate. Thanks to the fine folks at the Guardian US, you can find out how restrictive each state is.Shelby County vs HolderIn 2013, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled in a 5-4 decision to strip away key protections of the Voting Rights Act, a staple in the country’s democracy since 1965. In the judgement, the SCOTUS ruled that Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act — the section that determines which states can change their voting laws without approval — was unconstitutional. Chief Justice John G. Roberts delivered the court’s opinion stating that “the Voting Rights Act of 1965 employed extraordinary measures to address an extraordinary problem,” suggesting that there’s now less need for voter protection. The neutering of the Voting Rights Act has paved the way for more than half of the nation’s states to tighten their voter-ID laws, including most recently Arizona, Florida, Indiana, Tennessee and Texas. John Schwartz, New York TimesTrump Visits Atlanta To Woo Black VotersDonald Trump visited Atlanta last week to launch his campaign Black Voices For Trump, and unsurprisingly, it quickly turned into a circus.

Hello! And welcome to another edition of Inside The Newsroom. Today’s guest is… Bill Bishop, author of the Sinocism newsletter. Bill has covered China for several decades and has become an expert on everything China, so we got into why tensions between the U.S. and China are so bad right now, how bad they are in a historical context, and we also discussed what might or might not happen in the latest debacle between the two countries involving the NBA. Below is a post-game of everything we talked about, enjoy! 🤓🇺🇸🇨🇳The NBA’s Poisoned China ChaliceTwo weeks before the new NBA season was due to start, Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey sent a tweet affirming his support for Hong Kong’s freedom. No big deal, right? Well, as soon as you introduce billions of dollars into the mix, it quickly becomes a major problem. It’s estimated that 800 million people watch the NBA in China, almost three times the entire population of the U.S., resulting in around $4 billion in annual revenue for the NBA.Morey deleted the tweet in a hurry, but he should have known that the internet is an unforgiving place, and the backlash started almost immediately in China. Whether he was instructed to by the NBA and the Rockets or not, Morey quickly issued an apology: While much of the fiasco centred around the NBA’s lack of crisis management, it became clear that on American soil, China vs the U.S. is a bipartisan issue. My God did I never thought I’d agree with Mr. Trusted himself, but we’re in weird times.As it stands, Chinese broadcasters have quietly begun to stream games again after threatening to cancel multibillion dollar contracts, while the NBA has made things 10 times worse by attempting to control the narrative back at home by confiscating signs at games in support of Hong Kong. Bill Bishop, SinocismThe Birth of Chinese NationalismNationalism in China as we know it began on May 4, 1919, when 100,000 Chinese students took to the symbolic Tiananmen Square to protest their country’s paltry reparations for helping the allied forces defeat Germany and Austria-Hungary in World War I. Although they joined the war late, several hundred thousand Chinese workers significantly boosted the allied powers in France, the Middle East and Russia.In return, China wanted to reclaim Qingdao and the surrounding Shandong Peninsula, after Germany occupied the Chinese port city in 1897. When the victorious allies met in Paris to reshape the world after the war, also known as the Treaty of Versailles, the disputed territory was awarded to Japan, and China was given the cold shoulder.On that fiery day in Tiananmen Square 100 years ago, the huge protests led to the dismissal of three pro-Japanese officials and the resignation of the entire cabinet. Thirty-one countries eventually signed the Treaty, but China wasn’t one of them, and nationalism in China was born.Salvatore Babones, Foreign PolicyI Need DopaminePlease like this post by clicking the ❤️ up top to help feed my unsustainable need for dopamine. Thanks 😘This Is the Worst It’s Been Since the Korean WarThe NBA debacle is symbolic for just how tense relations between the world’s two superpowers are. Things may have never been this bad since the breakout of the Korean War in 1950, when China defended communist North Korea and the U.S. backed South Korea. Through the years, the differences have mainly been over core values — like that thing called freedom of speech — and economic superiority. But in the past couple of years, the pressure has been ratcheted up. Back in March, 2018, Donald Trump issued a sweeping round of tariffs on Chinese goods totalling around $50 billion, and then followed that up with a further $34 billion in tariffs four months later. Naturally, China retaliated with tariffs of its own on U.S. products totalling around $34 billion as well. Then came the Huawei lawsuit against the U.S. for banning federal agencies from buying its products. Huawei is of course the Chinese telecommunications company that is reported to have close links with the Chinese government and thus pose a significant security risk. Naturally, this resulted in another Chinese retaliation and a slew of American companies were blacklisted from operating in China. But that’s nothing new, as the “Great Firewall of China” has been in operation for decades. Exhausted yet?The latest round of economic tit-for-tat is being played out as we speak, and the two countries are finalizing the first part of a massive trade deal that should soothe tensions for the time being. Council on Foreign RelationsWhat’s In the Trade Deal?Talks between the U.S. and China are secretive, but here’s what’s been reported to be included…Want to add Inside The Newsroom to your favorite podcasting app?

Hello! Welcome to another episode of Inside The Newsroom. Today’s guest is… Katie Notopoulos! Katie covers internet culture and the tech industry for BuzzFeed News, and has a knack for finding kooky stories. We got into some serious stuff including Facebook’s new advertising tool which allows you to see who has your data, as well as why Apple are masquerading as a privacy champion. Below is everything we talked about, enjoy! 🤓Oh, and if you like what you read, how about clicking the ❤️ up top. I’ll be very grateful. 😘Is Apple Really Our Privacy Savior?Compared with Facebook, Apple is a saint. Its main business model is to sell phones and computers, so it doesn’t have a natural incentive to sell your data to ad companies. Regardless of what it sells, it’s not hard to be seen as the good guy when stood next to Facebook, whose founder and CEO would probably sell his own sisters to advertisers. Apple has hit the PR trail hard recently to tell us that, unlike its competitors, the iPhone maker will not track your data and sell it to marketers. But by the very nature of its products — Apple News+ and Apple Pay to name just two — that’s hard to believe. It’s remarkable, and quite laughable, how much Apple’s classic soft sell adverts have morphed into direct and blunt messages about how terrible its competitors are. Gone are the days of Bono making you want to dance around like a prat in your bedroom. Today, Apple’s USP is fundamental privacy features that should be expected of any company.Katie Notopoulos, BuzzFeed NewsFacebook Is Rubbing Your Data In Your FaceFacebook recently rolled out a new tool that shows you all the previously-hidden advertisers that have your data. On the face of it, this is a positive step toward transparency. But it’s also a semi-admission that there are God-knows-how-many companies out there that have your personal data. According to Facebook, "These advertisers are running ads using a contact list they or their partner uploaded that includes info about you. This info was collected by the advertiser or their partner. Typically this information is your email address or phone number." So it’s telling us that random ass companies have our data, but not how they got it and whether they were complicit in this.Now, seeing the likes of Airbnb or Spotify on the list won’t shock or surprise anyone. But I was weirded out as to why The Fillmore Charlotte, a music venue in Charlotte, North Carolina, had my details considering I’d never stepped foot in the state of North Carolina. This is an attempt by Facebook to showcase itself as transparent, but in reality it’s just a submission of the pressure stemming from a New York Times report that revealed Facebook’s emails to reveal their true mission. Katie Notopoulos, BuzzFeed NewsThe ‘Techlash’ Is Coming…Like with most things, it’s easy to become caught in a bubble and lose sight of whether the ‘average’ person even cares about privacy. Thanks to our friends at the Pew Research Center, we know that consumers are starting to turn against social media and tech companies in what has been dubbed the ‘techlash’. It seems like a million years since The Social Network lit up the box office with almost a quarter of a billion dollars, with Zuckerberg and Facebook riding the feel-good factor that came with the success of the movie. But all good things come to an end. Facebook is now largely seen as the devil of the tech industry, which is pretty well justified after they helped screw up the 2016 election, and then failed to learn anything since. Credit: Pew Research CenterLee Rainie, Pew Research CenterU.S. Government to the Rescue? Social media and tech firms have spent millions in lobbying Congress to let them continue to self-regulate, but it appears the tide is changing. The tech industry has suddenly become more open to the idea of the federal government enacting consumer privacy legislation, but don’t be fooled by their new-found receptiveness. Until now, it’s been individual states that have been the most aggressive in the fight against the tech companies — California was the first in the U.S. to mandate companies notify customers in the event of a data breach — and the likes of Google, Microsoft and Uber know that handing the keys to lawmakers in D.C. will override state laws. Neema Singh Guliani, ACLUPoll Finds Facebook RepugnantA joint poll by Axios and Harris Poll ranked the most beloved, and the most hated, companies among the nation’s most recognizable brands. Apple’s marketing seems to be working and has staved off the techlash for now, but the same can’t be said of Facebook. Among the top 100 brands, Facebook is 94th overall, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Goldman Sachs, Trump Org. and the U.S. Government. Among just tech companies, Zuckerberg ranks dead last. Chris Canipe, AxiosA World Where Public Is the NormThe behaviour by the giants at the top has made way for publicly sharing data to be the norm across the industry. Even the likes of Venmo, whose privacy settings are automatically set to public when you first sign up, have taken advantage of the non-existent laws surrounding protecting user data. Each time you send or receive money from someone, Venmo needlessly posts the details of that transaction to all of your connections. And the consequences of such settings, unbeknown to most of its users, are very damaging. Earlier this year a researcher was able to scrape the Venmo API and download personal details of 115,000 transactions per day. In total, he gathered seven million public transactions which, if in the wrong hands, could then be sold onto marketing companies to start advertising to you.

Hello! And welcome to another edition of Inside The Newsroom. A very special guest today as we welcome in Jason Kander, army veteran and former secretary of state of Missouri. Jason quickly became the darling of the Democrat Party after he lost to Roy Blunt in the race for U.S. Senate by just 2.8 points, in one of the closest senate races in the traditionally red state. After almost pulling the trigger on a presidential bid, Jason instead ran for mayorship of his hometown Kansas City, before pulling out to treat his chronic PTSD and depression. Since then, he’s joined the Veterans Community Project, an organization dedicated to making sure that no veteran falls through the cracks of the deeply broken system currently in the U.S. I had a very moving conversation with Jason about his past year and how he’s treated his health. Listen above and read below.Presidential bids, mayoral races and PTSDWhen Jason lost to Roy Blunt back in 2016, the attention on him soared. Overnight, he went from a relatively unknown army veteran and statewide politician in Missouri, to a rising star within the Democrat Party, with rumours swirling of a potential presidential bid. And he came close. Jason had a hit podcast with the folks at Crooked Media, did daily and nightly hits on cable TV, and had a growing supporter base urging him to throw his hat in the ring. But as he travelled the country, symptoms of PTSD — Jason tried to shrug them off as tiredness and just part of serving in Afghanistan — began to affect him so much that suicidal thoughts started to creep in. He decided to return home to Kansas City and run for mayor, in part because he thought being closer to friends and family would make his chronic depression drift away. It didn’t. Three months after announcing his mayoral run and well ahead in the polls, Jason announced in a heartfelt post that he was dropping out to get himself right. It was the first time he’d gone public about his problems.David Philips, the New York TimesThe Facebook PostIn October 2018, Jason finally admitted to himself he needed help. After 11 years of telling himself he didn’t have PTSD, the symptoms grew too great. Jason was never seriously injured during his deployment, nor did he have to take another person’s life. How could he possible have PTSD when his friends had gone through much worse? But that’s a common way of thinking when it comes to depression: The person next to me has it worse so just get on with it. But a simple analogy helped change Jason’s mind. Take the hypothetical scenario that you broke one of your toes and your friend broke their leg. Your friend’s injury is worse, but both injuries inhibit the ability to walk, and a broken toe still needs to be fixed. The same principle applies to mental health and it’s important to treat it in the same way as your physical health.Jason KanderNow Do You Love Me?If you like what you read every week, throw us a wee like by clicking the ❤️ up top. I’m eternally grateful. 😘How Many Vets Are Taking Their Own Lives?The Trump administration has sadly been unable to make a dent in the abhorrent rate of 20 veterans killing themselves every day. That’s about one and a half times more than those who haven’t served in the military. Trump isn’t alone though. Homelessness, traumatic brain injuries, post-traumatic stress and a military culture that shies away from seeking help are all factors that haven’t been dealt with for decades. Between 2017 and 2018, though, the suicide rate among veterans jumped 2.9 points to 24.8 percent. Jennifer Steinhauer, the New York TimesThe U.S. Has Screwed It’s VeteransIs it me or do veterans get put on a pedestal seemingly every election cycle? That should be a good thing, but the fact that the same issues are talked about in debates and town halls over and over again — untreated PTSD, homelessness, lack of employment opportunities, loneliness — means nothing is actually being done about them. That’s part of the reason Jason and millions of other vets feel lost, hopeless and considering suicide. When a veteran completes her/his service, they should be immediately setup with basic things like housing, employment and integrated back into their community. But that’s not what’s happening. The system is broken, and it can take weeks if not months to see a therapist, even after the Veterans Health Association scandal of 2014. Mark Hay, ViceTiny Houses, Big Plans: The Veterans Community ProjectJason seems happier than he’s been in a long time. That’s party due to his involvement in the Veterans Community Project, which aims to build housing and medical services for army veterans. He’s welcomed several high-profile politicians to the project’s HQ in Kansas City, including Democratic presidential candidates Beto O’Rourke and Pete Buttigieg, and even Republican U.S. senator from Missouri Roy Blunt, who beat him in the 2016 election. The VCP aims to expand nationally and their next ports of call are Denver and St. Louis. You can donate and find out more below. Trump is Strategically BrilliantIn case you’ve been living under a rock this week, Trump branded himself “strategically brilliant” after announcing that the U.S. had brokered a ceasefire between Turkey and the Kurds. He claimed victory by temporarily ending a war and humanitarian crisis he allowed to happen in the first place. But the last two weeks of chaos in the Middle East haven’t gone unnoticed by House Republicans: On Wednesday the House passed a bipartisan bill condemning Trump’s actions by a 354-60 vote.It’s one of the biggest signs so far that Republicans are beginning to publicly turn against Trump, as they know their boss’ actions will have deadly long-term effects. Reports of ISIS fighters and their families escaping prisons have already surfaced, but that’s just the start. Future foreign policy has been severely damaged for the future, and the keys to Syria are now in the hands of Russia.

Hello! And welcome to another edition of the Inside The Newsroom podcast newsletter! Today’s guest is... Shane Morris, former music label all-rounder for Sony, who now runs his own digital media company. I came across Shane on Twitter after his thread on country music’s problem with racism vent viral, and he turned out to be even more knowledgable about the industry than I thought.We got into a host of interesting stuff about the Lil Nas X ordeal, who runs music and what’s exciting about the industry today. Below I’ve provided more context on everything we talked about. Enjoy!Like Inside The Newsroom? Do us a solid and tell a friend or colleague who might enjoy it and subscribe.I Saw This in the News, What Actually Happened?When 19-year-old Lil Nas X — real name Montero Lamar Hill — dropped his single “Old Town Road” a few years ago, he struggled to get any traction. Finally, on the video sharing app TikTok (more on this later), the song categorized as “Country Trap” exploded in popularity and surged on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart. But as it neared No. 1, Billboard pulled it, citing that the song “incorporates references to country and cowboy imagery, but does not embrace enough elements of today’s country music to chart in its current version.” Uh oh is right…Andrew R. Chow, TimeThe Song In Question…Tell me it’s not catchy… but is it country?Does Country Music Have a Race Problem?It’s easy to sit on the sidelines and speculate in a newsletter. So let me say this as an avid country music listener (I’m listening to Florida Georgia Line as I write this): I’m not ready to brand the entire country genre racist. Sure there are racist individuals working for the labels and even some artists, but to give it a blanket label is unfair. I think it’s more about the lack of access into the industry, and transcendent artists such as Lil Nas X will do a great deal for breaking down boundaries for the future. Marissa R. Moss, Los Angeles TimesWhy Do We Even Have Genres Anyway?The real question we should be discussing is how to mitigate the importance of music genres, which are archaic functions exacerbated by the rise of iTunes, Spotify and others. Ultimately, genres satisfy deeply rooted human traits wired into our brains that allow us to stay in control to make sense of new experiences. As much as I don’t like it, I won’t be able to stop humans from putting things into categories, so I guess music genres will have to stay. Scott Barry Kaufman for Psychology TodayBefore I Forget: What the F*** is TikTok?Good question. As a 27-year-old, it’s not every day I call myself an old fart, but there’s no way I’ll ever make it onto TikTok. Anyway, to better understand how Lil Nas X blew up, we must know where the kids hang out. Similar to Snapchat, TikTok is apparently an app known for users lip-syncing and acting-out memes over music. Videos using ‘Old Town Road’ as backing music have been viewed more than 67 million times. #Yeehaw.Sarah Perez, Tech CrunchSo Who Does Control the music industry?Depends on who you ask. Thirty years ago the ‘Big Six’ gripped the industry, i.e. Warner Music, CBS, MCA, BMG, Capitol-EMI and PolyGram. Through a series of mergers and acquisitions, we now have a ‘Big Three’ who account for three-quarters of global recorded music: Sony, Universal and Warner. But according to Rolling Stone, the five most powerful people in music don’t even work in the industry…Tim Ingham, Rolling StoneWhat’s Myspace up to?Once the go-to platform for streaming and uploading music, Myspace has been extremely busy as of late, but for all the wrong reasons. It was announced a couple of months ago that the platform had “accidentally” deleted 50 million songs, the result of a server migration project. But don’t fret, they apologized for the inconvenience.

Kisses from Katie – Katie Davis – The New York Times bestselling account of a courageous eighteen-year-old from Nashville who gave up every comfort and convenience to become the adoptive mother to thirteen girls in Uganda. What would cause an eighteen-year-old senior class president and homecoming queen from Nashville, Tennessee, to disobey and disappoint her parents by forgoing college, break her little brother’s heart, lose all but a handful of her friends (because they think she has gone off the deep end), and break up with the love of her life, all so she could move to Uganda, where she knew only one person and didn’t even speak the language? A passion to follow Jesus. Katie Davis left over Christmas break of her senior year for a short mission trip to Uganda and her life was turned completely inside out. She found herself so moved by the people of Uganda and the needs she saw that she knew her calling was to return and care for them. Katie, a charismatic and articulate young woman, is in the process of adopting thirteen children in Uganda and has established a ministry, Amazima, that feeds and sends hundreds more to school while teaching them the Word of Jesus Christ.

Together with the mission he founded, Worldwide Evangelization Crusade, this man who refused to retreat opened a way for Africans to hear the gospel for years to come. Becoming MomStrong Pre-Order!
