In Austell, Georgia, 22 year old roller skating influencer Beauty Couch vanished just as her life seemed to be falling into place. When her family realized something was terribly wrong, investigators were already following a disturbing trail that began less than a mile from her home. What they uncovered would raise haunting questions about Beauty's final hours and the person she may have trusted most.How to support:For extra perks including exclusive content, early release, and ad-free episodes -Go to - PatreonHow to connect:WebsiteInstagramFacebookTwitterTheme and Closing Track:Original compositions created for The Minds of MadnessPlease check out our sponsors and help support the podcast:Shopify - Sign up for a one-dollar-per-month trial period at shopify.com/madnessQuince - Upgrade your wardrobe with pieces made to last with Quince.

This week, Nish is back from his fringe frolics, and joins Coco to talk about parliament's return from summer recess. The revolving door continues as Keir Starmer resigns, Nigel Farage gets sworn in (again) and Andy Burnham tests his stamina with nearly three and a half hours' worth of questions in the commons. With Zack Polanski rumoured to run in St Pancras and Holborn, how might the next by-election (another one?!) play out?Also on the pod, we're joined by journalist and historian Taj Ali. He unpacks what we can learn from grassroots organising and community resistance in the 1970s, shares reflections from the worst racist violence in over a century, and explains why the white working class has more in common with the South Asian community than they might think. Also, PSUK exclusive: fellow Luton native Stephen Yaxley-Lennon eats halal? Content note: the conversation between Nish, Coco and Taj is a full and frank discussion of racism, and includes the use of a racial slur that's historically been used towards the South Asian community. USEFUL LINKSTaj's book is out on the 15th September: https://www.foyles.co.uk/book/come-what-may-were-here-to-stay/taj-ali/9781526177582?srsltid=AfmBOoqg8Daxime9FB1T9FFCKNn6tUFY2bAbY75ybjQm_J4PKibB_KX4FB0 Anti-racist RADAR: https://antiracistradar.co.uk/ - report an incident of racism here. CHECK OUT THESE DEALS FROM OUR SPONSORS HEXCLAD:  https://www.hexclad.co.uk/PSTUK SHOPIFY: https://www.shopify.co.uk/podsavetheukPod Save the UK is an Intelligence Squared production for Crooked Media.Don't forget you can get in touch!

With the September 30 deadline approaching, the debate over the future of the resistance factions is entering a critical phase. While some factions have signalled their willingness to place their weapons and forces under state authority, others continue to resist disarmament, arguing that the conditions which gave rise to the resistance have not disappeared.This episode examines the pushback from factions including Kataib Hezbollah and Harakat al-Nujaba and unpacks the arguments they have advanced for retaining their weapons. We also examine the incentives behind Kataib Imam Ali's decision to transition into politics and join the Coordination Framework, and ask why the same path may hold considerably less appeal for the more senior factions of the resistance axis.

Defeating thoughts have a way of quietly backing us into a corner. Resistance at every turn, mundane tasks that start to feel monumental, weariness that settles in before the day has really begun — and underneath it all, the enemy doing what he does best: creating doubt and fear. It started in the Garden of Eden with a single question: "Did God really say?" That one doubt-filled sentence cost Eve everything, and the pattern has continued ever since. In our work, our relationships, our health, and our faith, Satan works persistently to keep us living from a place of defeat rather than from the victory that already belongs to us. But First Corinthians 15:57 declares something that changes the entire frame: God gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Not someday. Not eventually. Today. The victory is already given, already secured, already ours in Christ. Living from victory rather than toward it is one of the most significant mindset shifts available to a believer. Every doubt, every defeating thought, every whisper of inadequacy has to bow at Jesus' feet — because the enemy has no ground in a life that belongs entirely to Him. Psalm 21 describes God greeting David with rich blessings, granting unending favor, and ensuring that through His unfailing love, David would not be shaken. That same greeting belongs to every child of God today. When a whisper of defeat comes, the response is not a desperate hope that victory might arrive. It is a declaration of what is already true: I am victorious in Christ Jesus. Today's Bible Verse "But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."— 1 Corinthians 15:57, NIV Ponder Today The victory is already given — we live from it, not toward it. First Corinthians 15:57 does not say God will give us victory someday. It says He gives it. Present tense. The finish line is behind us, not ahead of us, because of what Christ accomplished. The enemy's primary weapon is doubt. "Did God really say?" is still his opening move. Recognizing the source of defeating thoughts — and responding with God's truth rather than engaging the question — is one of the most powerful forms of spiritual resistance available. Every inch of your life belongs to Jesus — the enemy has no ground there. When defeat feels like the dominant reality, it is a lie operating on territory it does not own. Reclaiming that territory begins with declaring what is actually true. God greets you with rich blessings and unfailing love. Psalm 21 describes the posture God takes toward those who trust in Him — not reluctant assistance, but generous, joyful blessing. That is the God you are bringing your defeating thoughts to. Let "I am victorious in Christ Jesus" become an anthem, not a last resort. Speaking truth out loud in the face of doubt and fear is not a performance of confidence we do not feel. It is faith declaring what is real before feelings catch up to it. A Prayer for You Today Heavenly Father, I admit that I have believed the enemy's lies for far too long. Please forgive me and help me step into the victory You have already claimed on my behalf. I am Yours, Lord, and I choose to live my life from the finish line of Your mercy and grace. When defeating thoughts come, help me see exactly where they are coming from and declare Your truth with boldness and belief. Your Word tells me I am blessed with unending blessings, and I stand on that truth as a platform of victory today. Thank You for overcoming the evil one. Remind me of this often, so that I too will overcome every doubt he throws my way. In Jesus' mighty name, Amen. Don't Miss an Episode If today's prayer helped you step out of defeat and into the victory that already belongs to you in Christ, we'd love to stay connected.

In this episode of Eternal Durdles, Zac and Phil dive into one of the strangest things about Premodern: some of the cards players love the most are exactly the cards that would be considered miserable in almost any other setting.Stasis. Winter Orb. Opposition. Deranged Hermit. Survival of the Fittest. Armageddon. Sphere of Resistance. Wildfire. Web of Inertia. Mana Web.These cards don't necessarily win because they're individually powerful. Instead, they fundamentally change the rules of engagement.And that's the key distinction.Phil argues that truly unfun cards are the ones that strip you of agency — situations where there's effectively nothing meaningful you can do. Zac explores the other side: cards that force you to change how you manage your resources can actually create some of the most interesting games of Magic.That's part of what makes Premodern so compelling. The format lets you play with cards and strategies that modern Magic design would almost certainly never create today.We talk about:Why Stasis requires an entire deck to support itStasis vs. Winter OrbWhat actually makes a card “unfun”The difference between changing resource management and removing agencyParallax Tide and why it crossed the lineOath of Druids and playing around restrictive strategiesOpposition + Deranged HermitWhy Survival of the Fittest still gives opponents ways to fight backArmageddon and how to play around itSphere of Resistance and resource denialThe bizarre potential of Web of InertiaMana Web, Floodwater Dam, and other forgotten lock piecesWhy Wildfire deserves more attentionTinker, Phyrexian Devourer, Draco and Phyrexian ProcessorAnd ultimately, why the cards that look “unfun” from the outside are often what make Premodern so much funPremodern doesn't need a Rule Zero conversation.The rules of engagement are simple:Kill your opponent before they kill you.00:00 — Why 1v1 Magic Needs No Rule Zero01:05 — What Makes a Card “Unfun”?03:04 — Stasis, Winter Orb & Resource Management08:32 — When a Card Actually Removes Your Agency18:00 — Opposition, Deranged Hermit & Survival25:57 — The Most Unfun Thing in Magic: Wasting Time28:00 — Armageddon, Sphere of Resistance & Playing Around Hate36:55 — Web of Inertia & Other Horrible Ideas40:07 — Mana Web, Floodwater Dam & Wildfire42:55 — Tinker, Phyrexian Processor & Premodern's Weirdest Cards⏱️ Chapters

In this release, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre enters the postconciliar crisis with growing clarity and urgency. Chapter 15 shows him recognizing the deep confusion spreading through the Church after Vatican II: a crisis of authority, doctrine, catechism, religious life, and liturgy. No longer able to rely on official structures alone, he begins encouraging priests, bishops, writers, and lay movements who are trying to preserve the Faith. At the same time, the reform of the Mass accelerates, and Archbishop Lefebvre sees that the battle is no longer theoretical. The Church's doctrine, worship, and priesthood are now directly at stake.

Dr. Gleb Tsipursky serves as the CEO of the future-of-work consultancy Disaster Avoidance Experts where he is an author who was dubbed the "Office Whisperer" by The New York Times and he helps tech-forward leaders stop overpaying for AI while boosting adoption and decreasing resistance. Mike Petrusky asks Dr. Gleb about his brand-new book, "The Psychology of AI Adoption at Work: From Resistance to Results", in which he explores how AI will fundamentally transform the workplace, applying his findings to facility managers and workplace strategists. He believes that FM leaders will need to evolve with increased integration of AI, IoT, and robotics, demanding new skills and adaptability as their role becomes that of "a managers of agents" overseeing both digital and physical assets. AI adoption faces unique psychological barriers beyond traditional change management challenges, specifically fear, identity threat, and shame. So, workplace professionals must start by addressing these emotions through supportive leadership, transparency, and the normalization of AI use. Leaders should focus on upskilling and preparing their teams for this transition, so Mike and Dr. Gleb offer the encouragement and inspiration you need to be a Workplace Innovator in your organization!

Growth begins with awareness, but awareness requires the courage to see what is really happening. As school leaders, we often know what needs attention, yet we can resist looking closely because of the emotions, vulnerability, and uncertainty that come with facing the truth.      In this episode, I explore the concept of awareness resistance and why we sometimes avoid the very information that could help us create change. I look at the patterns that keep us in the cycle of hype, disappointment, and rinse-and-repeat leadership, and why creating awareness is the first step toward meaningful growth.                                            Find the full episode show notes, transcript, and Flip the Fall Dip registration info here: https://angelakellycoaching.com/453             Keep up with me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/akellycoaching/

Our Star Wars 50th anniversary rewatch continues on The Commentary Booth, and this time Jamie Apps and Corrina Mabey are heading back to a galaxy far, far away for 2017's Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi.Written and directed by Rian Johnson, The Last Jedi sees Rey (Daisy Ridley) travel to the remote island where Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) has isolated himself, hoping the legendary Jedi Master can help her understand and control her growing connection to the Force. Meanwhile, the Resistance faces an increasingly desperate battle against the First Order, with Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac), Finn (John Boyega), Rose Tico (Kelly Marie Tran) and Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher) all fighting their own battles as the galaxy edges closer to collapse.But does The Last Jedi hold up nearly a decade later?Jamie and Corrina revisit one of the most divisive movies in the Star Wars saga, unpacking the film's ambitious ideas, questionable creative choices and storylines that seem to go nowhere. From Luke Skywalker's characterisation and Rey's rapidly developing powers to Kylo Ren's (Adam Driver) frustrating villain arc, the much-maligned casino planet and that unforgettable Battle of Crait, almost nothing escapes scrutiny.Highlights Breakdown: - What went wrong with Luke Skywalker's character arc? - Why the Leia space scene should have ended differently - Hidden cameos from British royalty and Tom Hardy! - Why this trilogy lacked a cohesive plan Along the way, Jamie and Corrina question whether the sequel trilogy ever had a cohesive plan, debate what could have been done differently with Kylo Ren and Leia, revisit Mark Hamill's famous criticism of Luke's characterisation, and examine the film's numerous loose ends.So, was The Last Jedi a bold attempt to take Star Wars somewhere new, or a spectacularly messy middle chapter that left Episode IX with an impossible job?Join Jamie and Corrina as The Commentary Booth puts Star Wars: Episode VIII, The Last Jedi back under the microscope.This week's episode is brought to you byAustralian Wrestling CardsCheck out more great content from Pario Magazine on our website.-------------------------------------------------------------SUPPORT PARIO MAGAZINE & THE COMMENTARY BOOTH- PATREON- BUY MERCH- AMAZON PRIME VIDEO- TUBEBUDDY- Subscribe to AEW Plus using my code (q0yydoz) to earn $10 in FITE credit- Shop Online With Honey- Shop Online With SatechiMY EQUIPMENT- Elgato Facecam- Rode PodMic- Elgato Wave Mic Arm LP- Streamlabs Talk StudioFOLLOW JAMIE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram- TikTokFOLLOW PARIO MAGAZINE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram

Send us Fan MailIn episode #197 host Kyla Channell is joined by Dr. Emily Lantz, assistant professor at the University of Texas Medical Branch, for a practical conversation about how muscle responds to age, disuse, sleep loss, and protein intake. The episode focuses on what actually helps preserve or rebuild muscle, especially in middle-aged and older adults, aging women, and athletes recovering from inactivity or injury.KEY TAKEAWAYSMuscle loss can happen quickly during inactivity, especially in older adults.Whey protein appears useful in disuse situations because of its high quality and easy absorption.Protein quality matters, not just total grams.Plant-based eating can absolutely work, but it often requires more planning to hit protein and amino acid needs.25 to 30 grams of protein per meal is a practical target for many active adults.Leucine is helpful, but not a stand-alone solution.Resistance training remains the strongest signal for building or maintaining muscle.Please note that this podcast is created strictly for educational purposes and should never be used for medical diagnosis or treatment.ABOUT DR. EMILY LANTZ:Dr. Emily Lantz is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Nutrition Sciences and Health Behavior in the School of Health Professions at the University of Texas Medical Branch. She has a Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Biochemistry from Iowa State University, a PhD in Nutrition Science from Purdue University. She completed a postdoctoral fellowship in skeletal muscle metabolism from the Division of Rehabilitation Science University of Texas Medical Branch.Dr. Lantz's research interest broadly focuses on two main themes: i). the effects of physical inactivity on skeletal muscle mass and functional capacity in middle-aged and older adults, with an emphasis on aging women and ii). the application and mechanism of action of amino acid and protein consumption on acute markers of anabolism e.g., muscle protein synthesis.FOLLOW DR.

Welcome to Issue 343 of Critical Encounters, a podcast about Marvel Champions, a Living Card Game by Fantasy Flight Games. Here we take a good look at that most critical piece of the game, the Encounter Sets. We'll discuss those poorly understood characters, unfairly labeled Villains, and their various plans to shape humanity and benefit the planet, as well as those so-called heroes intent on thwarting them. In this Civil War Issue, we look at the the Resistance Leader, Vision.

Lisa, Debbie "Sharpie," and Steve sit down with Steven, a Doctor of Physical Therapy in Orlando and host of the Happily Ever Active podcast, to talk about how to actually get your body ready for a Disney World vacation — before you ever set foot in the parks. Steven breaks down how most people walk only 4,000–5,000 steps a day but need to handle 20,000+ at Disney, and why that sudden jump (not the walking itself) is what causes sore feet, back pain, and injuries like plantar fasciitis and shin splints. He shares his progressive walking plan to build up mileage in the 1–3 months before your trip, the real rules for buying park-ready shoes (heel cup, toe box, breaking them in at the end of the day), how to prevent and treat the dreaded "Disney rash," chafing fixes for hot, humid park days, and the right way to wear a backpack so it doesn't wreck your shoulders and back by 3pm. The crew also digs into packing smart for a day in the parks, hidden bench and ledge spots for a quick sit-down break in line, stretches you can do in the queue for Rise of the Resistance, and how to pace a multi-generational family trip so grandma, grandpa, and the kids all actually enjoy the day instead of melting down during "Mickey's Magical Meltdown" hour. Steven's free resources, walking program, water station map, and his book Disney Ready: Your Pain-Free Parks Survival Guide are all available at fitforthemagic.com.

What if the rewards you're using to motivate your teen are actually making them less motivated? In this episode of Power Your Parenting: Moms with Teens, I talk with Dr. Özgür Bolat, author of The Reward Trap: Why Rewards Backfire and the Real Science of Motivating Kids, about the surprising downside of using rewards to motivate our kids. Dr. Bolat is a distinguished education scientist, researcher, associate professor, and internationally recognized expert in education and parenting. He earned his master's degree from Harvard Graduate School of Education and his PhD from the University of Cambridge and spent a year as a visiting PhD student at MIT Sloan. His research and personal experience led him to explore how achievement, praise, and rewards can create a dependence on external validation—and what parents can do differently. Dr. Bolat explains that while rewards may get teens to do what we want in the short term, compliance is not the same as motivation. When we say, “Get an A and I'll give you money,” or “Finish your homework and you can have more screen time,” teens may become focused on the payoff rather than learning, mastery, or personal responsibility. Over time, rewards can undermine intrinsic motivation and even affect creativity, self-esteem, and connection. Instead of immediately trying to control behavior, Dr. Bolat encourages parents to get curious about what's underneath it. Why isn't your teen studying? Why have they stopped caring about school? What are they struggling with? His PEACE model helps parents move away from simply fixing the behavior and toward understanding and solving the deeper problem together. 3 Takeaways for Moms 1. Compliance is not the same as motivation.Rewards may get your teen to do something today, but they don't necessarily build the internal motivation to keep doing it. Ask yourself: Am I trying to get immediate compliance, or am I helping my teen develop ownership? 2. Look underneath the behavior.Instead of asking, “How do I get my teen to study?” get curious: “Why is my teen struggling to study?” Resistance may be pointing to discouragement, disconnection, fear of failure, lack of meaning, or another deeper issue. 3. Help your teen find a cause, not just a goal.Grades and college acceptance may not be motivating enough. Talk with your teen about the bigger picture: What kind of life do you want? What are you good at? What matters to you? How do you want to contribute? Meaning, growth, values, and connection can become powerful internal motivators.

Matt and Jason sat down with independent broadcaster and liberty activist Shannon Joy for a powerful conversation about ideological consistency and the cost of telling the truth. Utilizing her background in advertising and media, Shannon built a highly successful syndicated radio show, only to face severe backlash and deplatforming when she refused to capitulate to the MAGA movement. Recognizing Donald Trump as a Trojan horse for establishment interests from day one, she charted her own course. She overcame corporate rug pulls to build an independent media network that reaches a million listeners a month and recently ran for Lieutenant Governor of New York alongside Larry Sharpe to challenge and expose the fraudulent political apparatus. The conversation breaks down the illusion of political saviors and the reality of the bipartisan corporate-state nexus. The discussion explores how institutional capital is funding a rapid expansion of the surveillance state, turning everyday public utilities—like municipal streetlights—into high-speed, unconstitutional tracking nodes via Axon light posts and Flock cameras. Beyond the physical dragnet, the dialogue uncovers the insidious nature of "signature reduction," a government strategy deploying private fronts and civilian operations to manipulate local communities and social media narratives. It is a stark warning about the technocratic panopticon being built in our backyards under the guise of public safety.   The ultimate defense against a digitized, omnipresent surveillance state is hyper-localization and parallel institutions. The episode concludes with a deep dive into actionable countermeasures, emphasizing that human "relationships of trust" will soon become the most valuable commodity we possess. By actively adopting privacy-focused technologies, utilizing physical cash and precious metals, and intentionally building local supply chains, individuals can effectively starve the uniparty apparatus. The true white pill is a fearless return to localized human connection—rendering the corporate-state dragnet obsolete through unyielding, decentralized non-compliance.

Why AI Isn’t Making Companies Faster Why AI isn’t making companies faster? Common question I get these days, and the answer isn’t that mysterious. Everybody bought the tools, and ran the pilots, but nothing sped up. That doesn’t mean the money was wasted, and it doesn’t mean AI is a fraud. AI is an amplifier. What it amplified is a problem we had ten years ago and still haven’t addressed. The gap between a decision and a customer There’s a lag between the moment an executive team decides something and the moment a customer actually feels it…the moment it converts to revenue, or to something valuable. So ask yourself this question – “When did your company last make a real decision? And how long before anyone outside the building noticed?” Most leaders can’t answer that. That’s the whole problem, and it’s the reason AI isn’t making companies faster no matter how much they’re investing right now. It was never the technology Agile is supposedly finished. Has been for a few years now. And yet…lack of agility still shows up in the top five concerns CEOs report every year. They don’t call it agile. They call it speed-to-market, nimbleness, adaptability…the ability to respond when the market moves. Meanwhile every organization I know is being asked to do the impossible. Extract more value from fewer people. Make cuts where no cuts remain. Faster and cheaper while somehow getting better. That runs straight into what I learned in my project management days — the holy triangle of budget, time and scope. You don’t get all three. And you certainly don’t cut one and keep quality where it was. The practical maximum Here’s where it actually stops. Here’s why AI isn’t making companies faster. Resistance to change. Risk aversion. No autonomy. Nobody is allowed to make the call. Fear. Those human factors combine into a practical maximum, and no amount of technology can help you move past it. Give someone a goal tied to their job, their pay and their longevity, and then deny them the authority to make trade-offs, to negotiate, to prioritize. They disengage. They learn to be helpless. Losing control over your own destiny is what makes folks check out, and it’s happening everywhere right now. And…nobody is doing a good job of addressing it, and it’s costing companies. Pushing harder doesn’t shrink the lag. The people side of what we do was never ready for the speed of the technology we already had five years ago, and it’s no more ready today, because we haven’t changed anything. That’s the honest answer to why AI isn’t making companies faster. What leaders actually control A large part of this has nothing to do with the teams. It’s the voice of the leader. The answer is not making things sound more urgent. Pressing harder won’t help. Communicating what’s being built, why it’s being built, and who it’s for directly to the crews responsible for doing it, rather than from a board deck or a shareholder report. Creating a better tolerance for small failures, and giving people the tools to minize risk…that’s how teams can claim the autonomy, the authority and the courage to move. Speed comes from putting the important things at the top of the pile and letting the rest wait. Not from sweating harder. Not outsized consequences. Because if teams don’t feel authorized to do what’s necessary, they won’t do it. And we’ll keep covering the failures with dashboards and nonsense metrics, which serves nobody. If the honest answer to how long before a customer felt it is embarrassingly long, then the change begins with you.

If we hear God's voice and then let reasoning talk us out of it, what good is it? We must remember the enemy tempts us with reasoning. When reasoning speaks, there is a motive and a thought against the character of God intertwined with his words. When your mind demands control, it is difficult to hear God's voice. We have to be sure we want God's voice more than our own opinions. Christianity is not a mental religion. It is a deep connection to God with your heart. Hungering for God means you are searching for what He has to say more than what the world and the experts have to say. Even facts can lead you astray. God considered facts evil when the children of Israel refused to confront the giants in the Promised Land. They believed in the reality of the giants more than the reality of their God. Facts without faith are dead works. God is not impressed with the facts of our current reality. He is wanting His Voice to create a new reality in our lives.

Antibiotics are not magic. In this episode of the PFC Podcast, Dennis sits down with Ryan to cut through the common myth that “I've given antibiotics, so the wound is protected.” They unpack why vigorous wound care—irrigation, debridement of dead tissue, clean dressings, and early surgical washout—remains the foundation of infection prevention in combat and prolonged field care, while antibiotics only shift the probabilities after the basics are done.Drawing on historical military medicine (pre-antibiotic eras through GWOT), observational data from the TIDOS study, sepsis timing principles, and real-world experience from Ukraine's prolonged timelines, Ryan explains why mortality is a limited endpoint, why more broad-spectrum antibiotics are not the answer in high-resistance environments, and how medics and corpsmen at the point of injury make the biggest difference.Key TakeawaysAntibiotics help only after good wound care; they never replace irrigation, debridement, and clean dressings.Dead or grossly contaminated tissue will not respond to antibiotics no matter how many doses you give.Mortality is a blunt and uncommon endpoint in modern combat trauma—look instead at reduced wound infections, osteomyelitis, reoperations, and amputations.Practical timing for prophylaxis: ideally within 1 hour, at least within 3 hours (extrapolated from sepsis data).Superficial wounds may need wound care alone; deeper or contaminated wounds benefit from antibiotics once cleaned.Shorter courses (roughly 3–5 days) are often sufficient in stable patients without established infection—stop when the benefit is exhausted.In prolonged or delayed-evacuation settings (Ukraine lessons), vigorous bedside wound care outperforms escalating antimicrobials amid rising resistance.Guidelines often assume basic wound care knowledge; that assumption may need to be made more explicit.The medic or corpsman at the point of injury is the decisive factor; higher-echelon care is supportive.Go to ⁠www.prolongedfieldcare.org⁠ for more austere and prolonged field care resources.

be realistic, expect miracles.The universe is chaotic and the more we fight that the harder it is to deal with it. Resistance of that truth is the problem, not the truth itself. When we finally learn to accept the reality that the universe is unpredictable, we stop limiting ourselves to our expectations. I am constantly at war with the reality of the universe. I cling to shit I can't have and resist shit I can't avoid. But clinging to the illusion of control is a false sense of safety. It makes me feel like I'm doing something of value, when it's simply redirecting the little bit of control I do have into something I have no control over. Accepting that the future is not within our control frees us from the stress of trying to control it. Fighting reality takes so much mental energy and wastes our capacity for changing what actually we can change. Rigid expectations blind us to the limitless possibility of the future. I have an ampersand tattoo on my arm to remind me of the improv principle of “yes and” which is very helpful when I get stuck in my often limiting worldview of “this is it, forever.” I have found that it is a powerful practice to remember that the story doesn't end with the discomfort. Yes, I am in pain AND I can move forward. Yes, that sucked, AND I can make it suck less. As somebody who wants to “fix” everything right away and avoid all discomfort, it's nice to be able to focus on what I can actually affect instead of the reality that there's much I can't control. We can only see so much of the path ahead, our limiting ability of sight doesn't mean the path doesn't exist or we won't be able to navigate it once we get there, it just means we can't see what we haven't approached yet.

What if the resistance you feel isn't telling you to quit—but inviting you to pause, reassess, and listen more closely? In this thought-provoking conversation, transformational leadership expert, executive coach, and writer Stephanie Peirolo joins host Dr. mOe Anderson to explore how grief, trauma, family narratives, and inherited expectations influence the biggest decisions of our lives. Stephanie explains why transformational leadership requires more than strategy. Lasting change depends on trust, deep listening, human connection, and the willingness to examine the stories shaping our choices. She also shares why honoring resistance can be an act of wisdom rather than a sign of procrastination or weakness. Drawing from her book, The Saint and the Drunk: A Guide to Making the Big Decisions in Your Life, Stephanie offers a compassionate approach to discernment. Listeners will learn how to identify what they truly want, separate facts from inherited narratives, seek support, and make decisions that honor both their dreams and responsibilities. Memorable Quotes “Resistance means you need to reassess.” — Dr. mOe Anderson “Usually people who are stuck are dealing with some woundedness or some fear that's very valid.” — Stephanie Peirolo Key Takeaways Transformational leadership addresses both structural change and the human response to change. Resistance may be valuable information telling you to pause, investigate, or choose another path. Family, cultural, and generational narratives can quietly shape decisions about careers, money, relationships, and success. A familiar story is not necessarily an immutable truth. Ask whether it supports or restricts you. Meaningful discernment begins with a deceptively difficult question: What do I want? Big decisions require self-awareness, compassion, time, reliable information, and sometimes help from someone you trust.

Hamish Maxwell-Stewart and Michael Quinlan's Unfree Workers: Insubordination and Resistance in Convict Australia, 1788–1860 (draws on considerable Australian legal, archival and statistical sources to ensure that we not only see the management of unfree labour regimes deployed in settler colonies, but also to identify all the strategies that victims of the early imperial prison-industrial complex used to resist the regime. The first half of Unfree Workers provides a brilliant account of the diversity of coercive labour practices that were demanded under colonial and settler-colonial expansions. Their labour regime was incredibly violent: A sentence to penal transportation was no trivial thing. The convicts sent to New South Wales and Van Diemen's Land were regimented, disciplined and accounted for in ways that pre-empted later social controls. They were also subjected to high levels of state sanctioned violence. The punishments and conditions of work they experienced continued to shape their lives long after they became free, impacting on colonial family formation and life expectancy. Maxwell-Stewart and Quinlan show the material links between violence and colonial economic necessity. Unfree workers whose skills did not match those in demand were more likely to be accused of work refusal, which put them at risk of demotion to harder labour and increased violence. Maxwell-Stewart and Quinlan's Unfree Workers, reminding us that while colonial capitalism is a system of exploitation, it necessarily depends upon class conflict. The process of transportation was a site for resistance. The convict ship, like the slave ship, was a factory that produced commodified labour for the colonies, ‘converting the idle poor into docile labourers.' Mutiny offered convicts the opportunity to steal their prison and use it for emancipatory means. Though many conspired, few succeeded, but on-ship radicalisation nevertheless prepared convicts for resistance on land. This included making deals for improved working conditions (including sometimes wages) in exchange for industrious and non-violent work. To this end, imprisoned workers came together in common cause, conducting strikes and go-slows and withholding effort. Just as Caribbean plantations were sites of frequent slave uprising, Maxwell-Stewart and Quinlan show, so too were convict workers also legitimately feared for their capacity for violent rebellion, sometimes with potential support from settlers with wider political goals. Van Diemen's Land's extraordinary record-keeping—itself an instrument of the punitive surveillance characteristic of the prison-industrial complex—means that Maxwell-Stewart and Quinlan have recounted in meticulous, often mapped, detail the size, activity and consequences of collective action among unfree workers.

Prayer is an act of resistance that helps us overcome fear, selfishness, unforgiveness and the desire for control by trusting God. Jesus teaches us to depend on God, forgive others, and seek His guidance and deliverance. Effective prayer should change how we treat people and remind us that God is enough.

In this very special episode of Trophy Talk Kevin and Max team up to talk about games that are still only playable on PlayStation 3. Throughout the episode Kevin gets a little trigger-happy with the soundboard and Max goes through a few beers to quell the frustration of Sony's hubris. First they run through some special plat shoutouts, and then Max sprints at a record pace through the list of games mentioned in the previous PS1, PS2, and PSP episodes of the Mooglecast. Starting off the main topic of the show they each talk about the many obvious games like the Resistance, Infamous, Motorstorm, etc. They also bring up some of the other lesser talked about games like Puppeteer and Mod Nation Racers. Then there are loads of 3rd-party games to talk about like Wet and Castlevania Lords of Shadow. While many of them can be played on the current XBOX, we still want to play the games with the feel of a Dualsense in our hands and to earn a few trophies while basking in the greatness of what was the PS3. They also talk about the many indies that were released only as downloads when these were Sony's first steps into the digital frontier. Stay through to the end of this very long episode because Kevin has a very special message to relay from composer and game developer Jerrel Dulay. Thank you for listening and we hope you enjoy the episode!

The wars in Iran and Ukraine are increasingly entangled, CIA Director John Ratcliffe had to personally deliver a message to Moscow, and Trump is driving our Gulf allies into the arms of China. Meanwhile, the U.S.-Israel relationship keeps mucking up our domestic politics, particularly in Abdul El-Sayed's campaign in Michigan. But it also turns out that podcast host (and senator) Ted Cruz seems to be pocketing money from the state of Israel itself. Plus: Some Democrats have finally figured out how to deliver speeches again, Vance is always trying to turn himself into something he's not, the DSA posters sound a lot like the Resistance 1.0, and Enes Kanter is still a POS. Ben Rhodes joins Tim Miller for the weekend pod.

Last week, we introduced you to Krystyna Skarbek, a daring resistance agent who smuggled valuable intelligence and thousands of refugees out of Nazi-occupied Poland.

The conversation turns to a hard truth: nobody is doing anything to stop him. Hawk points to Donald Trump's second term, the harm being done to others on purpose, and the fear that Trump and Republicans will interfere with the midterm elections. He calls out the Supreme Court for gutting the Voting Rights Act in the South and names it the most racist court of his lifetime, arguing that American institutions have failed and worse is coming. Woven through it all is a national sense of grief. This week the country lost Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, and Peter Cullen, the voice of Optimus Prime, bright presences who shaped decades of culture. Hawk closes on gratitude, his home, his dogs, and getting to play music with friends at 58, even with a busted knee.

Join Erik and Tage this week as they are joined by Sean and Kris as they discuss the foods they would like to see in a foodie guide, which attractions they would work at as cast members, the holiday overlays they would make for Disney attractions, and the favorite things they heard about from the D23: Ultimate Fan Event. Support the podcast by going to https://www.thehubcrawl.com/support. Question 1: With foodie guides being such a big thing at the parks now, what type of food items would you like to see. It could be for a limited time or a new restaurant. Question 2: Some of us have worked for the parks. You're all Disneylanders, but feel free to think any Disney Park. Which attraction, past, present, future, would you love to work in as a CM? Question 3: In honor of the Haunted Mansion's annual switch to The Nightmare Before Christmas, if you could give any Disney attraction (or restaurant) a seasonal overlay, what would it be? Question 4: What were you most excited to hear about from D23: The Ultimate Fan Event? Bonus Question: Other than Rise of the Resistance, what do you think are the "can't miss" Disneyland things that have been added in the last 10 years? Attractions, restaurants, shops, experiences are all fair game. Sub question - what is the #1 piece of advice that you would give to someone who is planning a visit and hasn't been since 2015?

Today, we have a conversation about time, memory, and the bittersweet geography of human sorrow. Georgi Gospodinovis widely considered one of the most daring voices in contemporary European literature. His acclaimed novel, The Physics of Sorrow, won the prestigious Jan Michalski Prize in 2016, blending ancient myth and quantum physics to chronicle the delicate realities of post-socialist Eastern Europe. Joining him is Angela Rodel, a brilliant linguist, musician, and translator whose profound artistic empathy carries the flowing cadences of the Bulgarian language into vivid English. Together, this extraordinary creative duo made history by winning the 2023 International Booker Prizefor Time Shelter—the first book written in Bulgarian to ever receive the honor.Time Shelter is a masterfully dark, funny, and prescient novel. It begins with an enigmatic psychiatrist opening a clinic that treats Alzheimer's patients by meticulously recreating past decades to match their internal clocks. But the experiment quickly escapes the clinic walls, triggering a pan-European crisis where entire nations hold democratic referendums to choose which era of the past they will retreat into. It is a book that holds up a mirror to our own world, exploring what happens when a civilization faces a deficit of meaning and tries to weaponize nostalgia.(0:00) The Trap of Nostalgia(1:22) The Nonlinear Approach to Storytelling(3:53) Translating the Atmosphere(4:31) The Pandemic of the Past(6:37) Death and the Gardener(9:49) The Translators Calling(11:00) Slowing Down Time(13:14) Storytelling vs Propaganda(15:54) Translating the Atmosphere(18:19) What makes a good life?

In pre-independence India, activist B.R. Ambedkar said India would never be free unless caste was eradicated. Today, India is rife with an aggressive majoritarianism that sees India as a Hindu nation. Could Ambedkar have saved India from its fate? *This episode is part two in a two-part series.

David Graham, former Senator Heidi Heitkamp, and Norm Ornstein join Harry to break down another strange week in Trumpland. Alex Vindman's shocking defeat in Florida's Democratic Senate primary intensified debates about how much appetite the party has for the all-out “Resistance” tactics of Trump 1.0, including impeachment. Meanwhile, the story of the beleaguered USS Abraham Lincoln prompted new criticism of the administration's wartime failings. And finally, what's the deal with Trump's emotional support aide and “human printer,” Natalie Harp?

I visited Victoria Falls, which dwarfs Niagara, the extraordinary Table Mountain, and several wildlife reserves including Kruger National Park. The jeep rides through the brush yielded close encounters with female lions shepherding their cubs, male lions sleeping off meals, a leopard in a tree crunching the skull of an impala, herds of piously maternal elephants — only one of which came close to charging us — and a dozen other species of predator or prey. The high point, I'll confess, was one wildlife encounter in particular: when a troop of baboons charged the outdoor diners at The Black Marlin in Cape Town, driving them to flee, so the apes could stuff their faces with pilfered pasta. Sadly, I was sitting inside, so all I could do was cheer the hairy creatures on from through the window. Privacy Note: On play, Google may track viewers. YouTube's Privacy Policy. The Book of Nature I hope that I'm sufficiently grateful for this encounter with the baroque, sublime abundance of biology that our planet is privileged to host — alone, so far as we know, among the billions of planets. Gratitude should be aimed at a giver, and it was reading the works of Discovery Institute authors that made this easier for me. I could wonder at the tiny penguins that somehow survive in the Mediterranean climate near the Cape of Good Hope, or the birds that live symbiotically with wildebeests by feeding on bloodsucking insects, without the deflating idea lurking in the back of my mind, “This all the result of blind chance and iron necessity, with no crafting intelligence behind it.” Instead, I saw works of art, and found myself thanking the Artist. I was reading the Book of Nature, and seeing in it glimmers of divine action, intention, and generosity — as “natural philosophers” did from Kepler and Newton to Pasteur and Mendel. Back when I unreflectively adhered to the theistic (really deistic) evolution that's preached in most Christian pulpits, I accepted the notion that God was somehow behind every aspect of the cosmos. If pressed, I would have said that God had “guided” or “instigated” the emergence of extraordinary creatures like the zebras that stared at our jeep, the elegant kudus that capered past us through the veldt, the wild dogs that seemed at once so alien and so familiar that it was tempting to hop out and try petting them. (“Do not attempt this,” I was informed by our solemn African guide.) But all of life was at best a convoluted Rube Goldberg contraption, which Someone had set in motion then stepped away to observe. God even had humans in mind — deciding, for some reason, to slowly evolve His earthly image through a long chain of predecessor species, until at some point He chose to implant both rationality and immortal souls in creatures who'd mutated in and then emerged from the womb of an animal. I used to speculate about how that allegedly worked, and how I could reconcile it in some fashion with the Genesis account of God making man directly from the dust of the earth, and woman from his side. I remember thinking, lamely, “Maybe they were identical twins … and He switched Eve's sex before the ape gave birth to them?” Then I stopped bothering, encouraged by modern priests who treat not just Genesis but most of the Old Testament as mostly wholesome mythology, akin to that found in Bulfinch or Edith Hamilton. Christianizing Darwinists Obeying the dictum of 19th-century “Higher Criticism,” Christianizing Darwinists aim to explain away every claim of miraculous action — from the direct creation of man to the parting of the Red Sea, from Jesus' virgin birth to even his Resurrection. I was taught in high school that the last, most crucial Christian miracle, amounted merely to the “ongoing presence” of Jesus in his apostles' hearts and minds. Big whoop. In that sense, Adolf Hitler is still sadly with us. (If you want an account of how and why biblical critics crafted such blinders, read Scott Hahn and Benjamin Wiker's magisterial Politicizing the Bible, which I edited for publication.) Priests, theologians, bishops and even (recently) popes have responded to the popular triumph of Darwinism by dismissing most of the events recounted in Genesis as purely allegorical and moral. Keen to avoid being tarred as “fundamentalists,” and encouraged by some cautious leeway granted to evolutionary thinking by popes such as Pius XII and John Paul II, most Catholics have eagerly accepted that Darwin's theories fully explain the emergence of every living species, even man. Otherwise-orthodox believers have made this intellectual concession, convinced that “the science” is irrefutable, so the theology must make room for it. But what if, in fact, the science is very shaky, and the implications for a Christian worldview profoundly toxic? Those are the questions asked and convincingly answered in a new book, Creation or Evolution? A Catholic Dilemma. It's written in an extremely engaging format — a series of questions posed by science journalist Steve Greene and answered by theologian Rev. Michael Chabarek, O.P. It was Chaberek's previous book, Aquinas and Evolution, that convinced me to take intelligent design seriously, and embark on the journey through the works of Stephen Meyer, Michael Behe, Douglas Axe, and many others — to my profound intellectual and spiritual enrichment. This new book is every bit the equal of Chaberek's earlier work. He lays out the serious evidential weaknesses in the Darwinist claim to have explained the appearance of human beings by incremental mutations from previous apelike species. (For much more detail than this book offers, see Science and Human Origins, from Discovery Institute Press, which Chaberek cites.) He explains how circular logic and wishful thinking pervade the claims of paleontologists to have discovered non-human ancestors for our species, with periodic claims to have found a “missing link” based on tiny bone fragments of indeterminate origin. False First Principles But Chaberek's main focus is not on empirical flaws or gaps in the Darwinist account. Instead, he focuses on the false first principles that motivate, even compel Darwinists to invent their “just so” stories in the first place. Here's a sample of the straightforward, plain-speaking way that the authors convey key philosophical issues: If man did not come from the ape, then how did he come into existence? First, let us consider whether sciences such as paleontology and genetics are actually capable of providing an answer to this question. If man came into existence naturally, then, yes, because science explains the workings of nature. But if man came into existence supernaturally, that is, by the action of divine power exceeding the power of nature, then science cannot explain the beginning of man. Therefore, whether science can provide an answer to this question does not depend on scientific research, but on the previously adopted religious or philosophical assumptions. Chabarek argues convincingly that secularist and materialist assumptions precede and determine the scientific work of Darwinists, essentially forcing them to deny evidence of design, and to make impossible claims for the creative power of mutations — despite the overwhelming odds against blind chance happening upon even a single useful new protein in the entire history of life on earth (as Douglas Axe showed in exhaustive experimental detail in his book, Undeniable). When such bias-inducing reductionist assumptions migrate from the research papers of laboratory scientists into the works of Christian leaders, the consequences are even more baleful, Chabarek warns. If such a central question as the origin of the only rational species, the “image of God,” is to be surgically excised from the domain of religious authority and turned over to materialist scientists, what is to stop that same debunking impulse from undermining every mystery of faith? Should we leave Sarah's miraculous conception of Isaac to the gynecologists, the parting of the Red Sea to the oceanographers, and the resurrection of Jesus to the biologists? That's the inexorable logic of Christians who cling to Darwinist explanations of the “descent of man” from ancestral apes. Far better, Chabarek advises, for Christians who accept a long series of miracles and mysteries as entailed in the redemption of humanity to also make room for the Bible's literal account of the miracle of his creation — from the dust of the earth, by the hand of God.

During this Black August, US White Nationalists have continued to compile victories in the federal court, from Donald Trump's White Nationalist Department of Justice dropping charges against Oath Keepers January 6, 2021 insurrectionists to his illegal White House ballroom project being endorsed through inaction by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts.Internationally, the US federal government continues to alienate former allies such as Canada, strong arm African governments like Liberia and support authoritarian and genocidal regimes from North Korea to Israel, all while further attempting to suppress internal critics, from sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln to military media watchdogs like Stars and Stripes.Still, from within the fracturing US polity, both resistance and victory against would-be fascist overlords continues to rise. A US Senate primary victory in Florida and wins in other smaller federal and state races continue to unsettle both soft white nationalist Democratic establishment formations and an increasingly unhinged and embattled White Nationalist Party.Their reactions are well-warranted: A swelling number of people are taking and preparing to take action, independent of establishment politicians, mass media pundits, political operatives and precariously-perched managerial classes.From within Africana Governance formations, hope for creating better lives through collective effort is finding footing, fed by increasing numbers of awakened, informed, and engaged actors.This week, In Class With Carr places the concept of hope as an Africana Way of Knowing formed out of the Momentum of Memory in the context of US and global events.We start today's class with Tequila Johnson.Are you a member of Knarrative?
