Clean energy isn't just good for the planet. It's good for your wallet. Solar and wind are now the cheapest power sources in history. Spring is a good reminder of what we stand to lose… and what we're fighting to protect. The science is clear. Human activity is driving climate change. Record heat. Rising seas. Disappearing seasons. And yet too many politicians would rather protect billionaire energy interests than help working families lower their bills. Real change starts when we stop letting the ultra - rich write our energy policy. Support clean energy. Reduce your waste. Talk to your elected leaders. Every choice moves us toward a future that's more affordable, more free, and a planet that can actually breathe. The power to fix this is ours. Let's use it.

On this week's Dan Savage podcast episode #1000, they mentioned the Irish and celtic music podcast!!! Woot! Keep up the good work!" Chelle Fiddler emailed: "Hi Marc!  I am also a long - time Celtic musician.  As a player, I love the pin idea.  As an audient (my invented word for one audience, ; - ) ) I probably wouldn't buy it.  But that's just me.... I'm not inclined to listen to Celtic music at home.  I'm more likely to go to a live show, or even hire the band to play a house concert. I'm running the Celtic series at the Old Brogue in Great Falls now... I adopted that baby from IONA this past Fall.  Hopefully I can beg your help promoting the shows?  We need all the help we can get. : - ). I'm so very green at promoting shows, and now I'm running two concert serieses... serii?  Like you, I'm all about keeping this music alive and vibrant, and building an audience for my brilliant colleagues. All the best," Metta RavenHeart messaged on Patreon about show #748: "Here here and there there.  Your authenticity far outweighs any difference of opinion. Please continue to march for freedom.  Here in New Mexico we know what it is like to stand up against tyranny and racism, and you inspire us to continue." Alexander Randall 5th emailed: "Whether you make better patter or not, I will listen to you until I die. I mentioned the Galacian Celtic music. I am so intrigued by this sound. Some of it is like obvious jigs and reels and marches, but it also sounds like Flamenco some of the time and sometimes muslim  creep in.  It is very "spanish" and yet not.   And when the bagpipes come in, you think you are in Ireland... Here are four that you will find interesting. This one is by the kind of national Galacian folk arts concert.  It opens with an almost middle eastern sound, the the voices com in singing in Spanish and then the bagpipes hit and it turns into a celtic party... in spain!   This one opens with cricket and turns into a dance. This one is a jig.  It says so in the title but then it turns into something else  -   -  The Muneira is like the Galacian national dance... It could be scots... What country did this dance come from? You pick up all kinds of odd ideas.  Fiddle around with this Galician celtic music…"  

The Federal Reserve is meeting at the end of this month to figure out what to do with interest rates. They have a tough task ahead of them: weighing the job market, inflation, and a war in the Middle East that is "roiling supply chains in ways that are similar ... to what we saw emerging from the pandemic," said KPMG's Diane Swonk.

Oil headlines are everywhere, geopolitical tensions are rising, and yet markets keep grinding higher. So, what's really going on? In this episode of Payne Points of Wealth, Ryan, Bob, and Chris unpack why oil prices are falling even as global conflict dominates the news and what markets are signaling beneath the surface. From the resilience of the bull market to why earnings growth and productivity matter more than headlines, the team explains why short‑term volatility doesn't change long‑term opportunity. They also discuss the real risk investors face today: sitting in cash and missing a potential melt‑up. The episode wraps with an old‑school Payne Capital Financial Autopsy, breaking down a real retirement case involving a $7 million portfolio that was taking far more risk than necessary. The conversation highlights common mistakes pre‑retirees make—overconcentration in growth stocks, chasing past winners, and misunderstanding income needs—and how a properly structured portfolio can generate reliable income while reducing downside risk. Key topics covered: Why markets often look through geopolitical crises What falling oil futures are telling investors The danger of staying defensive in a strong bull market Cash vs. inflation: the real long‑term risk How to reposition a retirement portfolio for income and stability Why diversification and maturity‑dated bonds matter in retirement Bottom line: You don't need to take outsized risk to win—but you do need to stay invested. As always, scared money never wins.

There's a clique of plutocratic, high-tech billionaires who think they're entitled to turn America's farmlands and rural communities into their personal domain of predatory AI “data centers.” But a little bookstore in Tulsa, Oklahoma, recently hit those puffed-up elites where they're most vulnerable: The funny bone.Magic City Books put up a sign that rocketed through the Internet, mocking the fatuous potentates:SUPPORT THESE DATA CENTERSSchoolsLibrariesBookstoresArrogantly, though, the likes of Amazon, Google, and Meta are frontloading trillions of dollars into creating a new social order managed by super-intelligent bots. This scheme, however, requires them to divert vast amounts of rural land, water, and energy to build and run their Orwellian empires. Yet, breathing the fumes of their own egos, the billionaires actually assumed that locals would welcome this dazzling bot wonderworld.Bad assumption. Even in bastions of rural Republican rule, majorities are saying, “Uh… Hell No!” Indeed, at least 48 data centers were stopped last year by coordinated local opposition, and public fury has largely driven data center developers out of Illinois, Michigan, Oregon, and Wisconsin. In Texas, corrupt governor Greg Abbott openly takes AI cash to push data centers, yet rural counties are rejecting them – and the state's far-right Republican Party has now voted to oppose building more of them.Even Wall Street money managers are blinking, for there's growing doubt that investors can get their money back. What's happening is that the billionaire hucksters have run head-first into the rock-solid political belief that The People get to decide our common destiny, not a handful of techno-scammers.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

Brooks brings together an extraordinary array of writers, artists, and scholars, including Greg Tate, Jack Halberstam, Kara Keeling, Eric Lott, and Ann Powers, to offer fresh insight into how Bowie and Prince each fundamentally changed pop culture as musicians who emerged at the intersections of modern movements surrounding race, gender, sexuality, and art. Featured alongside these pieces are interviews with trusted collaborators of Bowie and Prince such as D. A. Pennebaker, Sheila E., and Marie France, giving vital insider context to the impact both artists had on pop culture and the complexities of their repertoires, politics, and private lives. This work is essential reading for any fan of two of the most formidable and eminent figures in pop culture history.Contributors: Christine Bacareza Balance, Emma Balázs, Victoria Broackes, Daphne A.

Evan and Tiki break down the mounting pressure on Carlos Mendoza and why, fairly or not, the manager could be the one to pay the price if the Mets don't turn things around quickly. With roster moves already happening and desperation creeping in, they examine how close this team could be to a major shakeup and what that would actually solve. They also pivot to the Yankees' frustrating series against Tampa Bay, highlighting a glaring issue that defined the weekend: the inability to respond after scoring. The concept of the shutdown inning becomes the lens for understanding how games slipped away, along with key moments that swung momentum. It's a look at two New York teams heading in the wrong direction for very different reasons, and why both fan bases are starting to feel uneasy.

On DisrupTV Episode 434, hosts R “Ray” Wang and Vala Afshar explore what it really takes to succeed in an AI-driven world—with insights from Ena Hull (Ultimate Health School), Dr. Michael Wu (PROS), and Ron Miller (FastForward). They dive into the nursing workforce crisis and how education must evolve, debunk the myth of a “SaaSpocalypse” as AI reshapes—but doesn't replace—enterprise software, and examine why breakthrough innovation often comes from “lunatics” who connect ideas across disciplines. The conversation also cuts through AI hype to highlight what's actually working today, where projects are falling short, and how leaders can focus on real business value. If you're navigating AI transformation, workforce disruption, or innovation strategy, this episode offers a grounded, human-centered playbook for what comes next.

As rates climb, lending tightens, and investment strategies shift, will you be caught off guard or ready to capitalise? In The Smart Property Investment Show, Phil Tarrant and Eva Loisance from Finni Mortgages discuss how investors are reassessing borrowing capacity, cash flow, and risk as rate rises loom and lenders adjust expectations. The experts note a clear divide, with some investors taking a wait-and-see approach while others look to act on emerging opportunities supported by schemes such as low-deposit lending options. The pair also highlight growing concerns about how younger investors are receiving financial advice, with an increasing reliance on social media and artificial intelligence (AI) raising serious questions about accuracy and decision-making. As the market continues to change, Loisance urges investors to work with qualified professionals to cut through the noise, with those who adapt, learn, and seek expert advice best positioned to win.

Rising energy prices, higher inflation, and growing economic uncertainty — a Harvard economist says the fallout from the Iran war is already being felt. On the GZERO World Podcast, Ian Bremmer sits down with Harvard economist and former IMF Deputy Managing Director Gita Gopinath to unpack how the conflict is rippling through the global economy. As oil and gas prices surge, inflation is climbing, adding new costs for households and businesses and putting pressure on growth worldwide. Gopinath explains that while the immediate hit to global growth may seem modest, the bigger concern is longer-term “structural damage”—the slow-moving economic shifts caused by trade fragmentation, strained alliances, and geopolitical conflict. They also discuss why the US may be more insulated than other economies, how China is positioning itself for a more fragmented world, and whether the recent boom in AI investment can offset some of the economic drag. As inflation rises and global economic ties continue to shift, what comes next may matter even more than the immediate shock.

This week on Fed Watch, ITR Economist and Speaker Lauren Saidel-Baker breaks down a major data week, including a downward revision to fourth quarter GDP and a sharp rise in inflation driven by geopolitical tensions. With CPI climbing and energy prices surging unevenly across markets, business leaders are facing a key challenge: how to manage rising costs without eroding demand. Lauren explores what these inflation pressures mean for pricing strategies, consumer behavior, and the broader economic outlook. While headlines point to volatility, the bigger question remains: will the Fed hold steady, cut rates, or be forced to act more aggressively? Watch now for key insights that can help you navigate uncertainty and make more informed decisions in the months ahead.

In this episode, we perceive a wish for the welfare of another, as portrayed in Sangam Literary work, Aganaanooru 227, penned by Nakirar. Set in the ‘Paalai’ or ‘Drylands landscape’, the verse sketches scenes from nature and history. ‘நுதல் பசந்தன்றே; தோள் சாயினவே;திதலை அல்குல் வரியும் வாடின;என் ஆகுவள்கொல் இவள்?’ என, பல் மாண்நீர் மலி கண்ணொடு நெடிது நினைந்து ஒற்றி,இனையல் வாழி, தோழி! நனை கவுள்காய் சினம் சிறந்த வாய் புகு கடாத்தொடுமுன் நிலை பொறாஅது முரணி, பொன் இணர்ப்புலிக் கேழ் வேங்கைப் பூஞ் சினை புலம்ப,முதல் பாய்ந்திட்ட முழு வலி ஒருத்தல்செந் நிலப் படு நீறு ஆடி, செரு மலைந்து,களம் கொள் மள்ளரின் முழங்கும் அத்தம்பல இறந்து அகன்றனர் ஆயினும், நிலைஇ,நோய் இலராக, நம் காதலர்! வாய் வாள்,தமிழ் அகப்படுத்த இமிழ் இசை முரசின்,வருநர் வரையாப் பெரு நாள் இருக்கை,தூங்கல் பாடிய ஓங்கு பெரு நல் இசைப்பிடி மிதி வழுதுணைப் பெரும் பெயர்த் தழும்பன்கடி மதில் வரைப்பின் ஊணூர் உம்பர்,விழு நிதி துஞ்சும் வீறு பெறு திரு நகர்,இருங் கழிப் படப்பை மருங்கூர்ப் பட்டினத்து,எல் உமிழ் ஆவணத்து அன்ன,கல்லென் கம்பலை செய்து அகன்றோரே! In this trip to the drylands, we journey on to some prosperous towns as well, as we get to hear the lady say these words to her confidante, when the man continues to remain away, having parted in search of wealth.  “Saying, ‘Her forehead is coated with pallor; Her arms are thinning away; The fine lines on her loins, covered in beauty spots, have faded; What will become of her?', with your eyes brimming over with tears, do not think a lot and worry on my behalf. May you live long, my friend! Having moist cheeks, and raging fury, with musth fluid entering its mouth, unable to bear the sight in front, with enmity, a strong male elephant pounces on the trunk of the Kino tree, with golden flowers, in the hue of a tiger. Depriving the tree of its flowers and leaving it desolate, the elephant then rolls in the mud of the red earth beneath and quenches its rage. Rising from there, akin to the shout of warriors, when they claim victory on a battlefield, the elephant roars in the drylands. Though that lover of mine has parted away, crossing many such drylands’ paths, may he remain well and without affliction! Wielding an honest sword, and having a roaring drum that has subdued all of Tamil land, showering limitlessly on supplicants in his great court, lives the famous king, having the celebrated name of ‘Thazhumban', sung about by Poet Thoongal, having a scar in the shape of an eggplant, since he was stamped by a female elephant. He rules over the prosperous town of ‘Oonoor', protected by soaring fort walls. Beyond his town, in Marungoor, filled with great, unshakeable wealth, adorned with proud and affluent mansions, and having huge backwaters and orchards, the marketplaces shine with radiant light and resound with noise. Akin to that uproar, he has caused slander to soar in town and parted away! Even so, may he journey on without any distress!” Time to brave the dangerous paths of this domain! The lady starts by acknowledging the worry in her confidante, about her lustreless forehead, thinning arms and fading beauty. She asks the confidante not to worry so much, with tear filled eyes, about her own state. Then she goes on to describe the drylands, where the man treads now, zooming on to a raging male elephant in musth, and the way it’s taking out its anger, not on a real enemy, like a tiger, but on a Kino tree, just because it has flowers in the hue of its arch rival! After dashing against the poor tree, and making its flowers shed, the elephant then rolls in glee in the red earth and roars aloud, sounding like those blood-splattered warriors, when they claim victory in the battlefront. From here, the lady takes us to the town of Oonoor, surrounded by soaring fort walls and ruled by a renowned king, ‘Thazhumban’, with many laurels to his name. To list a few, apparently his drum had subdued the whole of Tamil land. It was interesting to catch that rare glimpse the word ‘Thamizh’ in the verse. To continue on the king’s laurels, he was said to be celebrated by an ancient Tamil poet named ‘Thoongal Vaariyaar’, and lastly, he had received his name which means ‘The One with a Scar’, because he happened to be stamped upon by an elephant, and here’s my favourite part, owing to that he has a scar in the shape of an eggplant. ‘Vazhuthunai’ is the exact word used in this verse for the eggplant! I had somehow always associated eggplants with Persian and Greek cuisine. It was only today I learnt that the eggplant is native to India and has even been found in the archaeological remains of the Indus Valley Civilisation. So, I’m naturally thrilled to find this eggplant reference in Sangam literature, though the Tamils have lost the use of this particular word, and call it ‘Kathirikai’ in contemporary times. Returning from our culinary meanderings, we learn this king Thazhumban and his town of Oonor have been summoned in this verse, only to take us further afar, to the markets of the affluent town of Marungoor, said to have backwaters and long-standing wealth, as reflected from its mansions. The lady connects the loud noise in the markets of Marungoor to the slander that has risen in town, owing to the man’s relationship with the lady. This tells us that the lady’s parting with the man is happening, before her marriage to the man. The lady concludes by saying even though the man has caused that uproar and left, after swearing that he would never part away from the lady, no harm should befall him in his journey! An inspiring expression of love that overlooks the hurt caused and wishes well for the beloved!

Hungary's election on Sunday could have repercussions far beyond its borders. Since Prime Minister Viktor Orban came to power in 2010, Hungary has become the only EU member state ranked as “partly free” by Freedom House – but it is also a model for far-right movements elsewhere. Orban's ties to Russia have also hindered Europe's response to the war in Ukraine. With polls showing a strong lead for the centre-right opposition Tisza party, our regional correspondent Gulliver Cragg reports.

Although the fragile ceasefire between Iran and the United States still holds, shipping through the Strait of Hormuz remains heavily disrupted, driving up fuel and fertiliser costs and leaving farmers in many parts of the world facing higher prices just as they head into the planting season. What does that mean for the price of food in your shopping basket? Sam Fenwick hears from Maximo Torero, chief economist at the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization. Also, the ceasefire was meant to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, one of the most important shipping routes in the world. What does it mean for the seafarers trapped in the Persian Gulf?(Photo: A farm worker sprays fertilizer on a paddy field, in Malaysia on 01 Apr 2026.

Rising authoritarianism. Covid. Inflation. Wealth disparity. War. Climate change. While every time period is marked by apocalyptic fears, it certainly seems like our current anxieties aren't ill placed. And yet, art and literature persist.In captivating and culturally savvy prose, Ed Simon grapples with the notion that writers and their work ought to distract readers from the dire situation we face in these fetid days of the Anthropocene. In Writing During the Apocalypse: Reflections on the Great Unraveling (Bloomsbury, 2026) he also addresses the wider question of what it's like to write during what could be the last decades of human civilization, arguing that to craft imaginative spaces through the magic of words isn't superfluous. Instead it exists at the core of human experience – as it always has and always will. Ed Simon is the Public Humanities Lecturer in the English Department of Carnegie Mellon University and the founding editor of The Pittsburgh Review of Books. He is a contributing editor to The Montreal Review, and a monthly columnist for both 3 Quarks Daily and LitHub. Simon has authored over a dozen books, including An Alternative History of Pittsburgh from Belt Publishing, Pandemonium: A Visual History of Demonology from Abrams, and Devil's Contract: The History of the Faustian Bargain from Melville House.

Retirement doesn't always look the way we planned… now what?In this episode of Sherapy with Sheri & Randy, we're having a real conversation about what retirement actually looks like when life takes a different path. Sheri shares her journey of stepping away from work to care for their mom—and how that meant giving up savings and starting over later in life. Randy opens up about still working, not by choice, but because financial struggles and health challenges made retirement feel out of reach.We also talk about what so many people are experiencing today:• Living on Social Security• Working longer than expected• Rising costs, including insurance• Moving in with family• And redefining what “retirement” really meansThe truth is—retirement isn't one-size-fits-all anymore.If you've ever found yourself wondering, “Is this really what retirement is supposed to feel like?”You're not alone.

Today we talk the war impact on the US Economic cycle. Global uncertainty is distorting market behavior and the gap between perception and reality, particularly in areas like oil supply, emphasizes that prices, not narratives, are the most reliable signal. We explore rising oil prices, shifting interest rates, and a flattening yield curve, while stressing the importance of adapting investment theses as new information emerges rather than clinging to outdated views. We also talk sector performance, valuation concerns, global energy vulnerabilities, and how different economies are reacting to supply shocks. Investors cannot control external events but must remain flexible, focus on market signals, manage risk, and avoid emotional decision-making, especially in uncertain environments where sitting on the sidelines may be the most prudent strategy. We discuss...  Markets are currently being driven more by narratives, geopolitics, and sentiment than by traditional fundamentals. There is a significant disconnect between public perception and reality, especially in areas like global oil supply. Rising oil prices and war-related uncertainty are pushing inflation expectations and interest rates higher. The yield curve is flattening, signaling changing economic conditions and potential stress in lending and growth. Market price action is the most reliable indicator of truth, reflecting collective positioning and expectations. Many stocks are experiencing deeper drawdowns than headline indexes suggest, masking underlying weakness. Certain sectors like energy and value stocks are outperforming, while growth and tech are under pressure. Global energy disruptions are exposing the fragility of supply chains and impacting economies unevenly. Emerging markets and energy-dependent countries are feeling the effects of the crisis more quickly. Valuation concerns remain, particularly in high-multiple companies where earnings may not support prices. Historical data suggests Q1 performance does not strongly predict the rest of the year's market returns. Economic cycles influence which asset classes perform best, requiring shifts in portfolio allocation over time. War conditions disrupt normal market cycles, making traditional frameworks less reliable in the short term. Investors should prioritize risk management, flexibility, and avoiding emotional decision-making.   Today's Panelists: Kirk Chisholm | Innovative Wealth Douglas Heagren | Mergent College Advisors Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/moneytreepodcast Follow LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/money-tree-investing-podcast Follow on Twitter/X: https://x.com/MTIPodcast For more information, visit the full show notes at https://moneytreepodcast.com/war-impact-on-the-us-economic-cycle-805
