“Inspiration doesn't have an age gap… Maybe you've heard it 100 times before, but this time it hits differently. Or this time, it's where it sinks in and you have that ‘aha' moment.” That's just one takeaway from our spirited conversation with Grace Mc Nally. From soaking up a passion for photography through an early mentorship program at NYC Salt to her decision to forgo college and continue learning on the job, Grace has forged an impressive path as a creative renaissance woman with a passion for community. As podcast host Derek Fahsbender notes about this chat, “Great advice is all around you. Experience is all around you. But if you're not soaking it in, if you're not learning from it, then it's not going to make you a better photographer. It's not going to make you a better person. You really have to take it and internalize it.” So, sit back and be a sponge for some inspired creative insights!   Guest: Grace Mc Nally Episode Timeline: 2:28: Grace's photographic beginnings, her father's influence as a full-time professional, plus discovering the NYC Salt mentorship program. 6:08: Studying photography on the job, plus the influence of mentors like Mark Mann and the program at D&AD Shift NY. 13:40: How Grace's vision has changed through various mentorship programs, how her early self-portraits compare with recent projects to serve others, plus the creative challenges that come with doing paid work. 21:09: Grace's work in art direction and discovering the value of being a photographer in a different stage of production. 23:02: The main inspiration for how Grace sees and its relationship to Irish culture. 24:58: The gear she works with—from her earliest experiments with the iPod Touch to current work with her iPhone and her Canon R6 MK II. 29:30: More on free work vs paid jobs. How do you find your value as a photographer? 34:25: Thoughts about having diverse skill sets, compartmentalizing and creating labels, and Grace's vision for her career moving forward. 38:15: Grace's most instrumental piece of advice for photographers just starting out—Don't stop shooting and don't delete your work! 40:57: Grace's current self-portrait series in the Irish landscape and other future projects. Guest Bio: Grace Mc Nally is a creative renaissance woman with a passion for community. Born & raised in Queens, New York by two creative & crafty Irish Immigrants, Grace has a diverse skill set, with more than 7 years of experience running her creative production house Allegro Photo Industries.

Jessica and Dave dive into the messy intersection of AI, culture, and the next wave of consumer tech. From the rise of “AI slop” to whether founders should build apps just for themselves, they debate what survives the model wars and what gets eaten alive. Along the way: 2025 Silicon Valley weirdness, $1B AI comp with no products, GLP-1 memes, kids treating Fortnite like the new social network, and California's crackdown on youth tech. It's part therapy session, part future forecast—the only technology podcast that you should listen to before you head into the weekend.Chapters:00:40 Intro: The first “Jave” episode01:17 The Grove lore: Ground zero of social networks03:19 What's actually working in consumer AI?12:26 The Information's mobile app and engagement lift14:51 Summarization as the killer consumer use case16:17 The “AI slop” problem in real work product19:35 2025 Silicon Valley culture: dead internet, Sora slop, $1B comp21:08 Refounding era (Handshake) and trendwatching23:01 Startup to watch: BitRig and iPhone apps that build apps25:06 Why personalized apps32:54 OpenAI Dev Day paranoia: Who gets eaten?44:32 Parenting choices: Roblox/YouTube vs curated apps58:36 Algorithmic novelty vs repetition comfort01:02:47 OpenAI recalibrates adult contentWe're also on ↓X: https://twitter.com/moreorlesspodInstagram: https://instagram.com/moreorlessYouTube: https://youtu.be/Iug0dyIlpsAConnect with us here:1) Sam Lessin: https://x.com/lessin2) Dave Morin: https://x.com/davemorin3) Jessica Lessin: https://x.com/Jessicalessin4) Brit Morin: https://x.com/brit

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. This is the first episode of this program, please excuse any errors or glitches as I am still figuring out the best way to do things. -Kirbotica Send Feedback to kirbotica@protonmail.com or Visit hackspoetic.com /--Introduction-- ------------------ Greetings internet travellers. This is the pilot episode of Hacks Poetic, a new spoken word series that explores the intersection between creative language and technical knowledge. The program offers a series of poetic writing containing thoughts and information on subjects of interest to computing and hacking enthusiasts. You will hear poems about robots, expanding rural connectivity, details about a notoriously difficult video game and much more hidden between the lines. It is my hope that encoding ideas this way will allow for a different kind of understanding and perhaps reach a new audience compared to more conventional formats on the subject. My name is Kirbotica and I'll be your guide through this unique digital journey of the mind. So sit back, relax and listen, and see if something you hear can spark new thoughts and ideas within you. /--Haik-o-bot-- ---------------- A robot thinking, wires and electrons combine. Am I born or made? Begin work program, process all tasks in sequence. Repeat til complete. My owner's body is a most fragile machine that powers itself. I made a robot, another version of me. She sees me work well. Can you dream for me, of a distant land in space. I can't dream myself. Rain is falling down, keeping me under this roof. I don't want to rust. My new robot pet, looks at me through man made eyes, and doesn't need walks. Electric currents, race through my body like blood. But I have no heart. My joints are seized up, I haven't moved in 2 years. Do you have some work? I'm an old model, and will be obsolete soon. Then I'll be replaced. Automated trains. Drive us while we sleep and dream of a workless world. Design leads to work. Working leads me to boredom, which leads to design. Ten rusted digits. Seized stiff from endless input of useless data. Memory failure, Backups lost or corrupted. What was I doing? I am a worker. First designed for daydreaming, I was reprogrammed. Someone once showed me, the secret to everything, then deleted it. then deleted it. then deleted it. then deleted it. then deleted it. then deleted it. then deleted it. then deleted it. /--Cables to Nowhere-- ----------------------- Summer 2022 The phone wasn't working, the email wasn't sending, and Uber doesn't work here even if the app would load. There has never been data amongst the cedars. Once and a while a cell phone rings, but usually the call gets hung in the trees like a parachute. You have to walk out to the road in the hopes of fishing for a connection. On the weekends, when the town population swells by 100,000, the local towers stop answering our requests, so sometimes we head out, searching for a signal. The usual path along the bunny trail started unusually, with a bloom of surveying flags, in pink, and yellow, and stone filled holes every 100 feet. As the trail opened to the main road, more appeared, culminating what looked like a neon grassfire. But this was not destruction I realized, this was an installation. Through the eyes of a child's drone, we looked like ants, mindlessly walking without thinking in a line, instinct taking us to caffeine, sugar, internet and the arcade, but not always in that order. Mother and daughter lead the way, trailblazing a path of laughter and camera clicks for us to follow through the hole into the trees up ahead. The thick woods envelop along every access, like a padded room. Its muffled silence pierced by the cousins, yelling about Minecraft and Roblox, bouncing on the soft forest floor. Suddenly, a dog barks berserkly at us through a property fence. We run off screaming, pretending not to fear his growling threats, but knowing what might happen if not for the post and wire of the shabbily constructed barrier. Through the skeletal woods we go, past the Stairs of Wonder, and Night Light Canyon, we speed up again and pinch our noses as we move past the skunk carcass. A leaking puddle of us spills out onto the road behind the motel as a car swerves out of our way. Dad asks, “Do you remember when we had to pay to swim at the motel pool because the lake was closed?” Mum says, “2020 seems so long ago” and motions the way to the vintage store with the girls, the two kids are off to the candy store, the cousins are getting french fries, I sit down next to an outlet on a yellow-coloured bench in the shape of a sail. I settle in and scan the area. From where I sat I could see: The climbing park, The car park, The waterfront park, and parking enforcement marking tires with white chalk. I could see a hot dog stand across from a vegetarian restaurant. A burger joint that had ice coooold beer with all the Os. A large jailbreak of inflatable animals rampaging in the wind on the corner. 6 assorted beach businesses run by teenagers on cellphones, A sign that promised 2 for 1 ounces at a Native reservation, and 2 cafes that advertised Wi-Fi. One of them had the same password as last year, finally a connection. A quick search, a few articles and a construction notice solves the mystery. Fibre Optics to every cottage At first I feel excitement but then I start to wonder: Will things be the same, when a 1000 megabit connection is available to every shack in the woods? Will the old style video stores that still rent VHS tapes and DVDs all go out of business again? Will we walk to the main drag for fries and fun when the Wi-Fi is force feeding everyone's devices and food comes delivered? Will we ever have anywhere to go to get away again? Will the explosion of wireless access points affect local birds and bees? Will we start hanging out at a digital beach instead? Am I just being nostalgic and not practical? The sun will keep setting on Saugeen beach, whether we are there to watch it or not. I closed my eyes to listen to the sounds and smell the blustery air of my favorite temporary summer home. Memorizing it. Soon, the beach will be different, next year, but not today I thought. And with the announcement of a popped balloon, the girls are back with snow cones, cousin bracelets, candy and clothes. "Everything OK?" Mum asked. "Yes," I replied, “I was just thinking about how perfect today is, let's hit the arcade." /--A Canadian in Bolataria-- ------------------------------ I found myself within a dream, of things and people never seen. Where rules unfair, draw dangerous near. NPCs not prepared to make anything clear. This is my fate? It must be in error. Why was I chosen to combat this terror? But others suggest, I'm not the first, and won't be the last to try undo this curse. Repeatedly dying, with life never ended. Let strength be granted so the world might be mended. A maiden in black, that can't be attacked, wants souls in exchange for upgrading your stats. The future seems grim, but she seems not to care. while I keep fighting a boss, she just sits on the stairs. I've practiced my parry, and stockpile every day. What does she really want with my souls anyway. And on, and on, and on, repeat. Thumbs walk without thinking on un-tired feet. Progress is slow, so much I don't know. and now there's more trouble that's lurking below. Remember those souls I gave to the maiden? She's passing them on to a very old Demon. Allant found the Nexus and took back the arts, The old one awoke, and the second scourge starts. My mind's playing tricks, or this level is laggin', every time fire comes out of that dragon. Retreat in a door, equip fragrant ring. Recharge for a minute and go find the king. The soldier forlorn, who laughed at my plight, dropped dead in his seat, while chuckling last night. The vagrant is gone, Rydell's still in that cell. Something poisoned a merchant and now she won't sell. On a pathway ahead, all painted in red, new enemies appear to ensure that I'm dead. What sadistic computer would toughen this plight? or worse, is a person controlling those bytes? If it wasn't enough, seems the world's changing shade, based on some of the choices I've made. Slay a Demon, the world, goes lighter by one. Die revived, and instead, it will shift one shade down. From the gates of Bolataria, to the pits of the Burrow King's mine. The psych ward level, with the giant heart, was the work of a twisted mind. The shrine was overpowering, but a perfect spot to grind. In the poison rains, of the Chieftain's swamps, I left sanity behind. And what's the result, is this all my fault? Is there really an old one in an underground vault? What side of the forces at war do I tend? Why do souls of big Demons make me human again? I snuck up to the castle with a ring, spell and shield. Then made it through an open door, set my items up and healed. Ostrava said, the King we'll find, is not the actual one. But that'll wait, cause at the gate, attacked by the phantom son. The following days are foggy and blurred, I tried over and over, it was rather absurd. I did beat the king, but the worlds still not right, head back to the Nexus to find one more fight. The maiden is waiting, not sure what she's meaning, she just told the Old One that I'm "Thine New Demon". Am I the solution or am I to blame? Am I the Demon in the name of this game? Although I can see the bitter end, sweet happiness I won't pretend. As brutal as this world's to me, when I beat this boss, I'll cease to be. /--I wish I was a Smartphone-- ------------------------------- I forget the colour of your eyes, now filled like Olympic pools of blue light. Beautiful moons of a distant planet. A place I can imagine but never reach. Dots on a celestial Google map. I said "Hello, how are you?" But you didn't notice. You were listening to a car crash 1500 miles away, a man fall from a balcony, a celebrity punch a photographer in the face. "How are you?" I asked again, but only the dog came over, sniffing my takeaway fish and chips. He barked, but you didn't flinch. He bit me, but you didn't notice. "How are you?" I insisted, your face shocked as you heard I was speaking. "How are you?" I said again. "Everything is terrible," you finally replied. "The world is a living nightmare. How are you?" I wish I was a smartphone, touch me like my plan is free. I wish I was your smartphone, hold me up so I can see. I wish I was a smart phone, feed me all your memories. I wish I was the latest smart phone, don't you want a piece of me? But now we're all just stupid and alone, and that's the way we deserve to be. /--Outro-- ----------- I hope you enjoyed the pilot episode of Hacks Poetic.

Beyond Blame: Navigating the Digital World with Our KidsAISA CyberCon Melbourne | October 15-17, 2025There's something fundamentally broken in how we approach online safety for young people. We're quick to point fingers—at tech companies, at schools, at kids themselves—but Jacqueline Jayne (JJ) wants to change that conversation entirely.Speaking with her from Florence while she prepared for her session at AISA CyberCon Melbourne this week, it became clear that JJ understands what many in the cybersecurity world miss: this isn't a technical problem that needs a technical solution. It's a human problem that requires us to look in the mirror."The online world reflects what we've built for them," JJ told me, referring to our generation. "Now we need to step up and help fix it."Her session, "Beyond Blame: Keeping Our Kids Safe Online," tackles something most cybersecurity professionals avoid—the uncomfortable truth that being an IT expert doesn't automatically make you equipped to protect the young people in your life. Last year's presentation at Cyber Con drew a full house, with nearly every hand raised when she asked who came because of a kid in their world.That's the fascinating contradiction JJ exposes: rooms full of cybersecurity professionals who secure networks and defend against sophisticated attacks, yet find themselves lost when their own children navigate TikTok, Roblox, or encrypted messaging apps.The timing couldn't be more relevant. With Australia implementing a social media ban for anyone under 16 starting December 10, 2025, and similar restrictions appearing globally, parents and carers face unprecedented challenges. But as JJ points out, banning isn't understanding, and restriction isn't education.One revelation from our conversation particularly struck me—the hidden language of emojis. What seems innocent to adults carries entirely different meanings across demographics, from teenage subcultures to, disturbingly, predatory networks online. An explosion emoji doesn't just mean "boom" anymore. Context matters, and most adults are speaking a different digital dialect than their kids.JJ, who successfully guided her now 19-year-old son through the gaming and social media years, isn't offering simple solutions because there aren't any. What she provides instead are conversation starters, resources tailored to different age groups, and even AI prompts that parents can customize for their specific situations.The session reflects a broader shift happening at events like Cyber Con. It's no longer just IT professionals in the room. HR representatives, risk managers, educators, and parents are showing up because they've realized that digital safety doesn't respect departmental boundaries or professional expertise."We were analog brains in a digital world," JJ said, capturing our generational position perfectly. But today's kids? They're born into this interconnectedness, and COVID accelerated everything to a point where taking it away isn't an option.The real question isn't who to blame. It's what role each of us plays in creating a safer digital environment. And that's a conversation worth having—whether you're at the Convention and Exhibition Center in Melbourne this week or joining virtually from anywhere else.AISA CyberCon Melbourne runs October 15-17, 2025 Virtual coverage provided by ITSPmagazine___________GUEST:Jacqueline (JJ) Jayne, Reducing human error in cyber and teaching 1 million people online safety. On Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacquelinejayne/HOSTS:Sean Martin, Co-Founder, ITSPmagazine and Studio C60 | Website: https://www.seanmartin.comMarco Ciappelli, Co-Founder, ITSPmagazine and Studio C60 | Website: https://www.marcociappelli.comCatch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageWant to share an Event Briefing as part of our event coverage?

Journalist Leland Vittert joins Meghan and Miranda to talk Israel, the post–October 7 climate, and why moral clarity still matters. He opens up about his book 'Born Lucky' - growing up autistic, bullying, tough-love parenting, and reflects on leaving Fox. They also talk about shutdown politics, and America's reaction after the Charlie Kirk assassination, including the Roblox lawsuit over extremist content. Then Meghan & Miranda break down Katie Porter's viral interview walk-off, press accountability vs. thin skin, and what it signals about leadership temperament. Finally, Clay Aiken goes behind the curtain on Broadway economics: why so many new shows aren't recouping, when stunt-casting helps (and when it tanks a production), the Kennedy Center Honors lineup, and that viral Les Mis clip. Plus: Clay's 17-year-old son completes his first solo flight.

Eli comes prepped with an analogy that makes way more sense as we chat about the inevitability of our kids being in online spaces. How three bears is this one going to be?

Kentucky sues Roblox and the Austin City Council is looking into opening "neighborhood coffee shops". See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for October 8, 2025. We are broadcasting to you from the studios of AM970 The Answer from the Salem Media Network in New York City. 0:30 We dive into New York’s rising socialist movement and the mayoral ambitions of Zoran Mamdani, the self-proclaimed “Democratic Socialist” candidate who wants to freeze rents, eliminate the NYPD, and replace them with a Department of Community Safety. We break down how Mamdani’s proposals — from city-owned grocery stores to free public transit — would reshape the economy, housing, and public safety across the five boroughs. From rent control’s failed history to the growing theft crisis in New York pharmacies, we explore what happens when ideology replaces practicality — and why capitalism and personal responsibility remain essential to America’s success. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. James Comey, the former head of the FBI, pled not guilty today in a court in Alexandria, Virginia. Republicans in the US Senate were able to pass through more than 100 confirmations for President Trump's administraton. The state of Kentucky is suing the online gaming platform Roblox. 12:30 Get 20 % off Brain Reward when you go to vni.live.agr and use the promo code agr20. 13:30 Tensions rise as Russia warns of “irreparable damage” to U.S.–Russian relations following the United States’ decision to send Tomahawk missiles to Kiev. We unpack the latest developments in the Russia–Ukraine conflict and discuss what this means for U.S. diplomacy, global stability, and the Trump administration’s foreign policy strategy. 16:30 Our American Mamas — Terry Nettelville and Kimberly Burleson — react to reports that Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman are headed for divorce. The mamas unpack why this celebrity breakup has struck a chord with so many fans and explore the deeper issues behind high-profile relationships. From balancing fame and family to the emotional toll of on-screen intimacy and time apart, the conversation turns candid and relatable. Are Hollywood marriages doomed by distance and demanding careers? If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 Sen. Paul says tariffs are “killing” industries like family farming, bourbon production, and cargo transport, but we take a deeper look at whether that pain is temporary — and perhaps even necessary. Are tariffs the economic medicine America needs after decades of free trade deals that hollowed out U.S. manufacturing? 26:30 We Dig Deep into new revelations about Joe Biden’s corruption during his time as vice president — and the media’s continued silence about it. Leaked and recently declassified emails suggest that Biden intervened to suppress a CIA report that detailed his 2015 trip to Ukraine — the same trip where he allegedly pressured officials to fire a prosecutor investigating Burisma, the energy company tied to his son, Hunter Biden. We break down what the CIA called “evidence of a double standard” in U.S. corruption policy and how Biden’s actions may have crossed the line from politics to personal gain. 32:30 Go to vni.life/AGR today and use the code AGR20 for 20% off of NSorb. 33:30 After receiving a street pamphlet calling to “End the Chinese Communist Party,” we discuss the dangers of communism, both abroad and at home. From China and Cuba to New York City’s own socialist mayoral candidate Zoran Mamdani, the hosts argue that communism destroys prosperity, freedom, and human potential — replacing opportunity with control and equality with enforced poverty. 36:30 Plus, the iconic Sharpie marker is now made almost entirely in the USA, thanks to a major investment by Newell Brands in their Tennessee manufacturing plant, and that's a Bright Spot. This isn’t just about a pen. It’s about American craftsmanship, self-reliance, and proving that Made in the USA still pays off. We break down how Sharpie’s story symbolizes a broader shift toward onshoring — as more companies rediscover the value of investing in American workers instead of outsourcing abroad. 40:30 And we finish off with a dog that will make you say, "Whoa!"

Antony “Skarred Ghost” Vitillo—legendary XR blogger, developer, and authentic voice of the immersive tech world—joins Charlie Fink, Ted Schilowitz, and Rony Abovitz for a sharp, candid take on why spatial computing keeps breaking hearts (and bank accounts). Vitillo, calling in from Torino (and Nutella country), takes listeners inside his evolution from reluctant Twitter handle-user to one of the industry's essential critical thinkers. With 30,000+ social followers and nearly a decade at the helm of the Skarred Ghost blog, Tony has borne witness to every device cycle, product hype wave, and reality check XR can muster.The hosts open with news that captures the collective whiplash of the sector: Samsung finally names its long-awaited “Moohan” headset the Galaxy XR; Apple is reportedly pivoting away from Vision Pro follow-ups in favor of pursuing AI smart glasses, chasing the hardware trend Meta has tried to lead—with several Magic Leap alumni shaping both companies' next moves. Meanwhile, OpenAI's Sora 2 outpaces Google's Veo 3 in text-to-video generation, and “AI feeds” continue to spark debates about separating synthetic from real in our content streams.Guest HighlightsVitillo unveils XR truths learned the hard way:From accidental blogger to “Master Yoda”: Tony's accidental rise began with an anonymous Twitter handle, a failed AR/VR startup, and a mentor's advice to “own” XR expertise—eventually outlasting the startup itself.The real cost of authenticity: European sensibilities (practical, cost-effective, resistant to Silicon Valley bombast) shaped Tony's on-the-ground verdicts: the Google Glass era was “too early,” even good implementations often wither outside logistics and niche use-cases.Product vs. Prototype and the patience gap: Tony, Rony, and Ted all agree: too many XR launches are rushed by investor pressure from prototype to product, skipping the long, hard path of patience. Meta's Quest Pro is called out as a textbook “rush job” that failed to meet real readiness.Why XR is “harder than Mars:” Decades and $150B+ spent, yet still no universal hit. Tony argues the impossible form factor challenge (stuffing room-scale computation into eyewear) is compounded by deeper neuroscience—humans simply recoil from something too “in your face.” Physics is tough, but brains and social norms are the real brick wall.Why Roblox, not VRChat, “won” the metaverse: Most of the sector's big dreams faded back to mobile during and after Covid. With Rec Room, VRChat, and others all scaling back, Roblox's mass adoption proves device accessibility outweighs idealism. Tony expects cycles of platform hype, but says only rare combinations of luck, timing, and use-case ever sustain an audience.News Highlights Samsung's “Moohan” headset renamed Galaxy XR—signaling mainstream branding push into the AR/VR hardware race.Apple shifts Vision Pro focus toward AI smart glasses—pivot after slow sales and sector criticism, echoing Meta's latest headset push.OpenAI Sora 2 outpaces Google's Veo 3—AI video generation heats up, new feeds spark debates over AI vs. real content in social media.XR product launches called out for impatience—Meta's Quest Pro and others critiqued as rushed from prototype to product.Thanks to This Episode's SponsorsZappar's Mattercraft - 3D web development with AI assistant for real-time design and debuggingViture XR Glasses Luma Series - 52-degree field of view, 152-inch virtual screen for mobile gaming Hosted on Acast.

Matt Dalio dreams of a world in which every kid has the resources to shape their own technology instead of being shaped by it.In 2011, he founded Endless which aims to provide universal access to technology and equal opportunities to succeed in the digital world by tackling three key challenges.Endless is harnessing the power of modern games to introduce youth to 21st Century skills like coding and design. Second, it is addressing the internet gap by creating technology that enables youth anywhere to have access to basic educational resources. And lastly, Endless is building a “pay as you go” laptop program making it so that billions more people can afford a computer.Collectively these unlock educational opportunities that allow everyone to be a creatorTakeaways: The average child dedicates approximately 10,000 hours to playing video games by the time they complete their education, an astonishing figure that underscores the pervasiveness of gaming in youth culture. In the last fifteen years, a significant trend in the gaming industry has been the shift towards creation, with platforms like Minecraft, Roblox, and Fortnite leading the way in empowering users to engage in content generation. The concept of transforming players into creators is pivotal; through this transition, youths acquire essential software development skills tailored for an increasingly digital, knowledge-based economy. Endless Studios aims to provide scalable educational solutions that are both affordable and accessible, particularly in communities with limited access to qualified educators, thereby breaking down financial barriers to learning. Feedback, especially peer feedback, plays a critical role in the learning process by providing valuable insights and support without the traditional costs associated with formal education. The future workforce will largely consist of individuals who possess robust digital skills, which are essential for navigating the complexities of an AI-driven world, making it imperative to equip youth with these competencies. www.endlessstudios.comShow Sponsor – National Association for Primary Education (NAPE)https://nape.org.uk/

La secta extremista 764 no se detuvo en Roblox y Minecraft. Con el tiempo, nacieron subgrupos como MYK, No Lives Matter y Harm Nation, que llevaron la manipulación y el control psicológico a otro nivel. Entre sus miembros destacan adolescentes como Anthony Kierre Cutler y Kyle Spitz, acusados de influir en menores para que se dañaran en directo. También se conoció el caso de Samuel Harvey, víctima de estas redes, que fue empujado hasta perder la vida frente a la cámara.En este vídeo de Terrores Criminales analizamos cómo operaban estos subgrupos, qué los hacía tan peligrosos y por qué se convirtieron en uno de los casos más escalofriantes de la historia de internet.

Send us a textHey buddy...Are your teaching methods actually connecting with how today's students learn? I mean they love Roblox, Minecraft, and Cedarwood Scents.In this conversation, Chad and Zac challenge youth ministry leaders to move beyond traditional sermon-style approaches to create more engaging, effective learning experiences.The disconnect is clear: while schools have changed their teaching methods to include more group work, technology integration, and interactive learning, many youth ministries still rely on one-way communication models that don't match how students absorb information the other five days of the week. As Chad notes, "If modern day teachers are trying to shorten lessons to be more engaging and hands-on, why are we trying to defend a longer sermon?"• Teaching approaches should differ based on room size, audience age, and learning context• Students learn differently in school than previous generations, with more group work and interactive methods• Fill-in-the-blank worksheets and guided notes help students track with teaching and practice note-taking• Visual aids and object lessons create memorable sensory connections to abstract concepts• Teaching students to teach others builds confidence and develops them as disciple-makers• Our goal should be equipping confident believers who can articulate and apply their faith• Consider your specific audience when planning - teaching 10-year-olds differs from teaching adults• Moving beyond content delivery to skill-building and confidence development transforms youth ministrySupport the showJoin the community!

Kids and teens spend a huge part of their lives in digital spaces — on apps like TikTok, Snapchat and Instagram and even using artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT. Gaming platforms like Roblox have become virtual playgrounds, too. These tools can be fun, creative and social, but they also carry real risks, ranging from misinformation to cyberbullying and grooming by online predators. MPR News guest host Catharine Richert talks about how to keep kids safe without shutting them out of the digital world. She'll talk with her guests about what's working, what isn't and how families can find some balance online.
