The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 3rd study session on Dr. Colin Anthony Beckles' PanAfrican Sites of Resistance: Black Bookstores and The Struggle To Re-Present Black Identity. This 1995 dissertation is the first time in the illustrious 14 year history of The Katherine Massey Book Club that we will read a non-book. Dr. Beckles conducted an extraordinary amount of research and produced several reports documenting the import of black bookstores and the intense Racism targeting them. Having just completed Char Adams' Black-Owned: The Revolutionary Life of the Black Bookstore, Gus concluded the text willfully excluded Dr. Frances Cress Welsing and Neely Fuller Jr. to stress anti-sexual behavior and to practice black misandry. Reading Dr. Beckles' - who is briefly mentioned in Adams' work, dissertation is the corrective to Black-Owned. Last week, we learned we about the methods Dr. Beckles employed in this study - which sometimes included eavesdropping and video-recording store patrons. Listeners discussed the ethics of snooping on black book buyers. Apparently, one subject of conversation in these stores is the existence of black "sellouts" and "zombies."Dr. Beckles also gave us a comprehensive history of White Supremacy in Britain to provide context for the targeting of black bookstores in this area of the world. Racist wankers don't want us reading across the pond either. #COINTELPRO #YoungBlackAndUnemployed INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#
Cuba is facing the greatest existential threat it has seen in decades. Trash is filling streets, because garbage trucks can't make the rounds. Rolling blackouts, rising food prices and cuts to transportation, university classes, and hospitals amid a gas shortage, the likes of which the country hasn't seen in years.US President Donald Trump, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and other officials have made it clear that they aren't interested in anything less than regime change. And they're going after that goal full throttle. The United States is now imposing an oil blockade on the island nation that is pushing it to the brink – and hitting its most vulnerable residents the hardest.In this episode, we look at Cuba, the history of the more than 65-year-old US embargo on Cuba and Trump's actions, which are pushing the country to the brink.This is Episode 7 of Under the Shadow, Season 2.Under the Shadow is an investigative narrative podcast series that walks back in time, telling the story of the past by visiting momentous places in the present.

How to Build True Mental Flexibility Without Falling into the Trap of Stubbornness In this episode, I'm diving into a distinction that I believe is the difference between lasting success and total burnout: the gap between true resilience and hidden resistance. We often celebrate persistence and endurance as the ultimate virtues in leadership and personal growth. But I've observed that sometimes what we call "strength" is actually fear in disguise. It's rigidity masquerading as discipline, or ego pretending to be loyalty to an old idea. I want to challenge the idea that resilience is about holding on at all costs. To me, real resilience is about knowing when to stay committed and—more importantly—knowing when to adapt. By the end of this episode, you'll learn how to recognize exactly when your persistence has turned into stubborn resistance. My goal is to help you develop a wiser, more flexible approach to your growth so you can stay strong without becoming rigid, allowing you to move forward while protecting what truly matters.

We kick off our annual March Madness bracket challenges with a Walt Disney World ride tournament as we rank and seed eight attractions in each of the four parks — Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom — to build the ultimate 32-ride bracket. Using factors like popularity, theming and immersion, innovation, broad appeal, and overall guest satisfaction, we determine which rides earn the coveted #1 seeds and which ones barely sneak into the tournament field. From heavy hitters like TRON Lightcycle / Run, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, and Avatar Flight of Passage… to beloved classics like Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean, Spaceship Earth, and Kilimanjaro Safaris, every attraction has to find its place on the bracket. Along the way we debate controversial rankings, question whether nostalgia should matter, and set up some very interesting first-round matchups. Which rides deserve the top seeds? Which ones are overrated? And what attraction do you think could pull off the biggest upset? Let the brackets begin.

Summary Welcome to our 500th episode! To celebrate this milestone, Andy talks with Steve Brown, AI futurist, keynote speaker, and author of The AI Ultimatum: Preparing for a World of Intelligent Machines and Radical Transformation. Steve brings a rare perspective shaped by years at Intel and Google DeepMind, and today helps organizations navigate two vital questions: what future do you want to build with AI, and what future do you want to avoid? They explore why waiting isn't actually the safe option it feels like, how to think about the different "flavors" of AI beyond just generative tools, and what it really means to orchestrate humans, AI agents, and robots together in the workplace. Steve introduces three types of AI agents—offload, elevate, and extend—and explains the crucial difference between automating tasks and truly transforming how work gets done. You'll also hear his candid take on the fear of being replaced and why doubling down on your humanity is the smartest career move you can make right now. If you're looking for a practical, empowering guide to leading through the AI revolution—without the hype—this episode is for you! Sound Bites "The difference between an AI-enabled or AI-first company and an AI laggard is going to be so great that if you don't get on the train, you may get to the point where you can never catch up." "Your competitors who have embraced AI faster than you are going to be just kicking your butt all over town." "There's a serious cost to inaction in that you can become made irrelevant." "The danger with that is you may automate yourself. It may automate away all of the differentiation you have in your brand and your company." "AI is this sort of amplification technology, and the challenge is to balance cost-cutting and value creation." "Each flavor of AI is useful for solving a different type of business problem." "It feels like a digital employee, right? A digital worker that works for you." "It's taking the suck out of your job." "The real opportunity here, is to transform the way you do work rather than just try and automate away tasks or people." "The workplace of the future is going to be three groups. Humans will still be in the workforce. Great! Go us!" "You won't be replaced by an AI or a robot. You'll be replaced by someone who knows how to use AI better than you do." "Double down on your humanity." "Focus on building the skills that cannot be replaced, or at least won't be replaced by machines anytime soon." "At the end of all of this is going to be lives of abundance, where we have the things that we need."

In episode 257 of Talk Eastern Europe, Adam and Alexandrareact to the breakout of war in the Middle East and what it might mean from the regional aspect. They look specifically at relations with Russia, the war in Ukraine and also the South Caucasus, which borders the conflict zone. They also catch on the situation in Albania and discuss Hungary's latest tactics ahead of the elections in April.For the main interview Alexandra is joined by Toma Istomina,deputy chief editor of The Kyiv Independent, on the fourth anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Tome reflects on how the newsroom transformed overnight from a small startup into a major international outlet covering the war, and how journalists balance urgent battlefield reporting with deeper coverage of Ukrainian culture, history, and everyday life. The conversation explores the challenges of reporting during prolonged conflict, the importance of global understanding of Ukraine, and the role international audiences can play in supporting independent journalism covering the war.Check out the Kyiv Independent online: https://kyivindependent.com/Watch the special YouTube series “Dare to Ukraine” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cjMmGeLq0I&list=PLmOj0Ur_xinRpYyt31pbGt48Z6YGwX6ZtSupport the podcast and become a patron here: www.patreon.com/talkeasterneurope

Friction gets an bad rap, according Jennifer Vail. As a tribologist, she studies interacting surfaces in relative motion, and she's worked on everything from aerospace materials to syringes to dog food. Her new book, Friction: A Biography, explores the science of rubbing surfaces, the history of lubrication, and why “frictionless” is a dangerous fantasy. Kara and Jennifer unpack everything from Roman chariot “pit stops” to ball bearings and how tiny tweaks in texture and lubricant chemistry can save massive amounts of energy. They end with a discussion of behavioral friction (the kind tech companies want to get rid of) and Kara makes the case for “good friction” in tech, work, and relationships. Questions? Comments?

Join Alli's Intern Program - https://alliworthington.com/interns When you set out to do something meaningful, distractions arise. Suddenly, reorganizing the junk drawer, researching new supplements, or learning about kangaroo development becomes urgent. The instant we prepare to stretch ourselves, productivity flares up everywhere except where it truly matters. That's resistance. And it's sneaky. It doesn't always show up as fear; sometimes it masquerades as productivity—color-coding your pantry before you open your laptop counts. Other times, it takes on a spiritual or strategic tone, suggesting that extra thought or planning is needed. Resistance wants to block meaningful work. When you feel it, name it and act.

Hey friends, it's Amy. Today's episode is a real one, because it's about what to do when life shows up. You know what I mean — when your day doesn't go according to plan, when a curve ball hits, when everything feels out of rhythm, and you're trying to hold it together while still doing what you're called to do.I'm recording this after a whirlwind emergency trip to Florida. We spent an insane amount of time in the car, got my parents back to Iowa, and it really made me think: how do you stay steady when life feels out of control?Here's one of the biggest tools I've used: disciplines.When life is chaotic, routine becomes an anchor. And I saw it in real time — the day I kept my morning routine, I could handle an 16–18 hour travel day with way more ease. The day I didn't? I felt myself spiraling.But then I go deeper — what do you do when you are doing the right things… and you're still not seeing results?You're eating healthy, but the numbers don't change.You're working hard, but the business isn't growing.You're trying in your marriage, but it still feels stuck.You're creating, but nobody is clapping.That's where the real work happens.Because the goal isn't just the outcome — it's who you're becoming in the process. Mental toughness. Spiritual strength. Endurance. Work ethic. Stability. A muscle that can flex without a cheering squad.This episode is a reminder that resistance is often a signpost — not to stop — but to keep going. And if you're tempted to quit, I want you to hear me: the golden life is built in the “show up anyway” seasons.Keep doing the thing.Your future self will thank you.
Join The FREE Upper Limits Workshop March 10th-12: https://link.shaminataylor.com/breaking-the-upper-limit-workshop In this episode of The Unapologetically Rich Show, Shamina Taylor reveals why so many high-achieving women unknowingly block the very wealth, opportunities, and success they say they want. If you've ever wondered why things aren't moving as quickly as they should despite your effort, talent, and ambition the answer may not be strategy. It may be resistance. Shamina breaks down how subconscious beliefs, emotional patterns, and invisible upper limits quietly dictate what you allow yourself to receive. Drawing on her work in quantum principles and emotional mastery, she shares how clearing emotional residue and outdated beliefs creates space for the results you've been working toward. Through personal stories, real-life examples, and powerful insights, you'll begin to see how what feels "normal" in your life might actually be the very thing keeping you capped. This episode will help you: • Identify the hidden resistance that limits your growth • Understand how subconscious beliefs create upper limits on success • Shift from hoping for results to strategically opening yourself to receive them • Recognize the emotional patterns that block wealth and expansion • Start clearing the internal barriers between you and your next level If you're ready to stop unknowingly holding yourself back and start operating from the version of you who receives more. This episode will open your eyes. Because the truth is: the universe may already be trying to give you everything you want. The real question is whether you've removed the resistance to receive it.
In this March 2026 episode, Craig Hemke for Sprott Money is joined by technical analyst Chris Vermeulen of The Technical Traders to analyze the latest volatility in gold, silver, and global markets. As geopolitical tensions shake commodities and equities, investors are watching whether the stock market could face a deeper correction while capital rotates into precious metals. Chris breaks down the recent spike in crude oil, key technical levels in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, and why markets may be approaching a critical turning point. The discussion also explores the outlook for the gold price and silver price, including whether gold could be preparing for another breakout while silver remains volatile in the short term.
In this episode of the Y Health Podcast we welcome Theron Hall, he is a chiropractor with nearly 30 years of experience helping patients prevent and recover from common musculoskeletal injuries. In this episode, he shares practical, prevention-focused strategies for avoiding low back pain, headaches, disc injuries, and posture-related issues caused by today's sedentary, screen-heavy lifestyles.In this conversation, Theron emphasizes:Posture starts with the low back — Proper lumbar support and simple ergonomic changes can prevent headaches, neck pain, and chronic back issues.Strength prevents injury — Resistance training at least twice per week preserves muscle, protects joints, and reduces the risk of disc and stability injuries.Aging well is intentional — Grip strength, leg strength, and muscle mass are key predictors of longevity and independence.You get fit in the gym, but lean in the kitchen — Prioritize protein, don't fear healthy fats, limit mindless snacking, and think of food as fuel.Theron's message is simple: most chronic pain is preventable, strength is accessible at any age, and small daily habits compound into lifelong resilience.Recorded, Edited & Produced by Averee Bates, Christy Gonzalez, Harper Xinyu Zhang, Madison McArthur, Kailey Hopkins, and Tanya Gale
It's time for our weekly Roundabout where our panel with an assortment of viewpoints take on the headlines of the week. If you're wondering why there's so much talk about property taxes in Nashville, it's partly because 2025 taxes were due last week and a lot of homeowners and businesses simply can't afford it. It's hard to complain about the value of your property doubling or tripling in the last decade — but selling isn't a simple solution. There's new movement from local businesses pushing back, and the state legislature is advancing a cap on future increases. Today we dive deep into local issues including this considerable increase in property taxes, the risk of sinkholes from the tunnel construction and the proposed six-lane boulevard that's part of the East Bank development project.And we hear from you!

In this episode of the Ropescast we explore the current military turning point by analyzing reports of massive Israeli "softening" strikes against Iranian regime targets along the Iraqi border, which are reportedly designed to facilitate the entry of Kurdish militias. The conversation also examines the high-stakes possibility of the US administration directly arming Kurdish forces to dismantle regime control in western Iran. Finally, we delve into the "Kurdish Dream" by looking at the realistic prospects for Kurdish self-rule and independence within the framework of a liberated, democratic Iran, as our guest Suzan Quitaz offers a nuanced look at whether these events signify the beginning of the end for the regime.Chapters: 00:00 Arming Kurdish Forces Against the Iranian Regime01:31 Kurdish Reactions to the U.S. Plan03:57 Can Kurds Trust the United States?08:42 Kurdish Life Under the Iranian Regime13:22 Kurdish Militias Preparing to Fight17:20 Kurdish Female Fighters: Their Unique Role23:21 Can Armed Protestors Win Against the Iranian Regime?

Last year, Amanda Litman and her husband hosted a dinner party every Saturday. She was skeptical going into it, as an introvert and the mom of two young kids, but after a just a few weeks she realized it was one of the best decisions she's ever made.Not only that, she says it was the most political thing she did in 2025.To really appreciate that statement, you have to understand that Amanda has devoted her professional life to politics. She's the leader and co-founder of Run For Something, an organization that helps young and diverse people run for office, and the author of When We're in Charge: The Next Generation's Guide to Leadership. She is a Political Person with two capital P's.And yet — and yet! — Amanda still says that her 52 dinner parties were more powerful than all of that. Sharing conversations with our neighbors and building community are the most political actions we can take.We've already seen it play out in places like Minneapolis, where neighbors have been supporting each other through the violent ICE occupation. This has been a chaotic and painful year, but folks have been getting through it by extending a hand to their community and asking, “How can I help?”Okay, so connecting with our neighbors and being kind to each other is political. That makes sense. But… 52 dinner parties? How did she manage it? Did she really cook every week? Did she get help with childcare? Did she agonize over who to invite and the seating plan?In the end, Amanda answered all of these questions (and more) so convincingly that Katie and LaFonda committed to hosting their own dinner party this month!

We all know that Hollyweird is programming us with their soulless, corporate slop. And we all know they're preparing to force feed us their future soulless, corporate, AI-generated slop. So, what are we doing about it? Are we continuing to pay for their propaganda and brainrot? Or are we supporting the independent filmmakers and media producers who are seeking to create passionate, human, anti-propandistsic art? Today on Solutions Watch, James talks to filmmakers Teace Snider and Amy Miller (and documentary subject Mark Crispin Miller) about Resistance Cinema (and how you can support it!).
Melissa Chan joins to discuss her career reporting across Asia and why she pivoted from journalism to co-creating the graphic novel "You Must Take Part In Revolution" with activist-artist Badiucao. We discuss the book's visual style (Chinese watercolor influences, Frank Miller's Sin City palette, and manga elements), the subversive Mao-derived title, and a near-future plot spanning Hong Kong to a 2035 war over Taiwan amid surveillance, drones, and AI. Chan describes choices around depicting resistance, representation, and hidden "Easter eggs," and reflects on the book's strong reception.

On this episode of the podcast, Amanda Head talks with Alireza Jafarzadeh, Deputy Director of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, to discuss why the Iranian regime may be closer to collapse than many realize.Jafarzadeh explains the decades-long struggle for freedom inside Iran, including the sacrifices made by opposition movements and the thousands who have died resisting the regime. He outlines how today's protests, resistance units on the ground, and mounting international pressure could create a historic turning point.The conversation also explores what a post-regime Iran could look like, from free elections and a democratic constitution to economic revival and renewed global engagement. Plus, they examine the role of U.S. policy, the debate over foreign involvement, and why many Iranians say they do not want foreign troops, only support for their fight against the regime.If the clerical government in Tehran falls, the implications could reshape not only Iran but the entire Middle East.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Since 2008, there has been tremendous public interest in the social and ecological ramifications of the global land rush, a rapid increase of capital investment into land, especially for the establishment of agricultural and tree plantations. In Laos, the government has granted five percent of the national territory to investors as long-term land concessions since the early 2000s. Land investments, globally and in Laos, have violently and unjustly dispossessed peasants and Indigenous peoples of their life-giving land, leading to their immiseration. Yet, targeted communities have rarely accepted the theft of their land outright, often struggling to protect their land rights with varying degrees of success. How can these divergent outcomes of land control be understood? In Socializing Land: Plantations, Dispossession, and Resistance in Laos (U Hawai'i Press, 2025), Dr. Miles Kenney-Lazar addresses these questions by investigating the development of Chinese and Vietnamese pulpwood and rubber plantations on the lands of ethnic minority Brou people in eastern Savannakhet of southern Laos. He argues that land should not be viewed as a “thing” but as a set of social relationships among different groups of people. The characteristics of these ties to land play a critical role in determining if and how its use, access, and ownership change—whether land becomes the property of plantation capitalists or remains in the possession of peasant farmers. Furthermore, the book explores the contradictory role of the state, simultaneously pursuing investment-driven economic growth built upon the coercive expropriation of land while pledging to protect a limited set of peasant land rights. Highlighting the sociality of land demonstrates that land transactions are full of friction and contestation. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

What happens when the state infiltrates your most intimate relationships? How do we protect the innocence and imagination of children in an increasingly authoritarian world? “"If you have love, eventually you're going to win. It's not that people aren't going to die. It's not terrible things aren't going to happen. But if you stay with that and you stay centered in that, you'll get through and you will not have turned into a monster in order to overcome monsters.”My guest today is AL Kennedy.

It tells the story of a primary school teacher who receives a confession from an undercover police officer who infiltrated her life decades earlier. It's a provocative investigation into state power, the "Spy Cops" scandal and the search for mercy in an age of surveillance. It's a book about the breakdown of trust.

Today, we're bringing you a special feed drop from ReCurrent, a podcast from the Getty that explores how art, history, and culture shape the world around us. In this episode of ReCurrent, host Jaime Roque takes us back to 1980s Los Angeles, when civil wars in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Nicaragua sent hundreds of thousands of people north and helped turn LA into “Little Central America.” With professor and longtime participant Rubén Martínez as our guide—someone who lived through this moment firsthand—we follow the Sanctuary Movement as churches quietly, and then publicly, open their doors to refugees the U.S. refused to recognize. Sanctuary meant food and a place to sleep, but it also meant music, theater, poetry, and posters that challenged U.S. policy while helping people process their grief. From there, we step inside Echo Park United Methodist Church, where artist and performer Elia Arce and a circle of Central American poets, musicians, and organizers transform the basement into a cultural home. We also sit with Rev. David Farley, pastor emeritus of Echo Park United Methodist, who was there to witness it all. Upstairs, families try to stay invisible on classroom floors; downstairs, performances inspired by banned writers, songs from back home, and handmade banners turn fear and exile into shared story. Our last stop is the Getty Research Institute, where researcher Jasmine Magaña—a Salvadoran Angeleno herself—is helping build a new, expansive record of this era.

Have you ever wanted something so badly — more money, a new opportunity, a dream lifestyle — and yet found yourself not taking action? You journal. You visualize. You set intentions. But something invisible keeps holding you back. In this fascinating conversation, I sit down with Kam Knight, bestselling author, coach, and speaker who specializes in internal resistance — the hidden mental blocks that can quietly sabotage our manifestations without us even realizing it. Because here's the truth: You can consciously want one thing… while your unconscious mind is manifesting the opposite. And that inner conflict? That's where resistance lives. This episode is a powerful blend of mindset, neuroscience, and manifestation, helping you understand why action sometimes feels harder than it should — and how to gently work with your mind instead of against it. ✨ What We Dive Into In This Episode: What is "internal resistance"? How can the conscious mind and unconscious mind manifest different outcomes? How does childhood conditioning play into your manifestations? How do conflicting desires stall manifestations? How does our subconscious identity impact manifestation results?

Stigall has the very latest from the Secretary of War's latest press conference this morning to the leadership of the National Council of Resistance of Iran. We're living some consequential history and you have a front row seat. US Senator Dave McCormick - who was deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan joins Stigall to explain why what President Trump has done is not only Constitutional, but nothing like the wars launched of 25 years ago. Shahin Gobadi of the NCRI joins the show to explain why Iranians are ready now to install new, secular democratic leaders without the aid of American "boots on the ground." Nevertheless, we realize the seriousness of war, no matter the well laid plans as we've lost 4 of our servicemen. Stigall explores the gravity of the moment and the humility required at the same time. And Erin Maguire navigates some of the politics here at home.

Summary In this episode of the Anatomy of Change podcast, Seth Studley discusses the importance of embracing discomfort as a pathway to growth. He emphasizes that fear and discomfort are often misinterpreted as danger, leading individuals to avoid necessary challenges. Drawing on personal experiences and biblical references, Seth illustrates how courage is not the absence of fear but the ability to act in its presence. He encourages listeners to recognize resistance as a sign of meaningful growth and to navigate through discomfort to achieve their true potential. Discomfort is not danger; it's a sign of growth. Fear often misleads us into avoiding necessary challenges. Courage is acting in the presence of fear. Growth requires moving through discomfort, not avoiding it. Resistance can be a compass guiding us towards our purpose. Biblical teachings provide insight into managing fear. Avoidance of discomfort leads to stagnation and missed opportunities.
