On our radar this week… “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” George Orwell wrote those words 76 years ago in “1984” – seemingly the operating manual for Donald Trump's administration. In fact, Trump used those exact words in a campaign speech and has lived by them ever since.  George Orwell also wrote: “Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” Every day is an exercise in taking attention away from the growing coverup of the Epstein files and financial corruption, with Trump apparently terrified that his sordid decades-long history as a sexual predator will finally catch up with him.  It's a stark contrast with England, where the Andrew formerly known as “Prince” is celebrated his 66th birthday in police custody as England actually holds the powerful accountable for the Epstein-led sexual abuse of children, while in Epstein's home country the White House continues to coverup the crimes of the rich and powerful … very possibly a group that includes Trump. Case in point: the Department of Justice spoke four separate times to a woman who credibly accused Donald Trump of having sex with a 13-year-old he met through Jeffrey Epstein—but most accusations against the president appear to have been removed from the government's documents on the alleged sex trafficker.  A part of Trump's defense is also right out of “1984”: “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.” That means silencing his critics including the late night comedians who, in the tradition of Will Rogers, lampoon him non-stop. But the tactic is backfiring: Kimmel's banishment lasted a few days, and Stephen Colbert has become even more focused in the last weeks of his days on CBS. The made-for-YouTube video of Colbert with Texas Senate candidate James Talarico has racked up more than 7.5 million views which is triple the Colbert TV show ratings. And Talarico raised a staggering $2.5-million in the day following the incident. Trump wants everything possible named after him. Now, he apparently wants to profit from those efforts: his company has filed papers to trademark use of his name at airports even as his Florida fans in the state's legislature pass a bill to rename Palm Beach International Airport in his honor and he pressures Congress to rename Dulles Airport. If signed into law, the Palm Beach International change would cost the airport $5.5 million to remake signs, uniforms, promotional products, equipment, and more, according to Palm Beach County's department of airports. Also on our radar The Supreme Court kicked off another Trump tantrum by axing his tariffs. The war between Dozing Donald and the court he thought he controlled is now started. Trump got a little nap time during the initial meeting of his made-up Institute for Peace, nodding off repeatedly in front of the world leaders who had ponied up the $1-billion membership fee. Before nap time, Trump pledged a $10-billion U.S. contribution to what amounts to his personal slush fund – ignoring the constitutional requirement that spending needed to be authorized by Congress. Governor Whitmer attended the Munich International Security Conference. At the conference, she joined AOC, and Trump's NATO ambassador on a panel discussion where she was highly critical of Trump's economic war with Canada has driven our neighbors to the north to get cozy with China. Independent gubernatorial candidate Mike Duggan has a new problem. His campaign claimed union endorsements he hasn't received. It's a near certainty that the Service Employees International Union and the United Auto Workers will ultimately endorse Jocelyn Benson. Benson, meanwhile, picked up the endorsement of the Michigan Nurses Association. Mark has a new neighbor. ICE has opened a regional headquarters next door to my office … and also is opening a detention center in Romulus. Nobody's happy about this except Stephen Miller. Is this a staging area for masked ICE agents outside Democratic-leaning voting sites in southeast Michigan this November? And we can't unwatch the incredibly insane 90-second, taxpayer-funded video of RFK Jr. and Kid Rock flexing and sweating, apparently to promote physical fitness. RFK thankfully did not include snorting cocaine from toilet seats as part of his workout regimen. On a far more serious note, we recognize the unique contributions of two men we lost this week: the internationally known Rev. Jesse Jackson, and one of the “good guys” who made Michigan State government work better over his decades of service, our friend Bill Gnodtke. On Tuesday, west Michigan Congresswoman Hilary Scholten went inside an ICE concentration camp. Scholten, who was an immigration attorney before being elected to Congress, joins this week’s conversation. Congresswoman Scholten is a fourth-generation West Michigander. Prior to her election in 2022 she was an immigration attorney who served in the U.S. Department of Justice.  Scholten began her own career as a social worker, working with people affected by issues of housing and homelessness. During this time, she worked with individuals in the LGBTQ community who were facing homelessness and housing insecurity—often because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.  Congresswoman Scholten obtained her law degree from the University of Maryland Thurgood Marshall School of Law, and then went on to clerk for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in their special unit focused on immigration issues. Following her clerkship, she joined the Justice Department through the Attorney General Honors Program, where she continued to work on matters of immigration and civil rights. In Congress she serves on the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and the House Committee on Small Business. We’re now on YouTube every week! Click here to subscribe.

Dal teatro di strada ai grandi set, Giuseppe Boy racconta un'idea di recitazione fondata su versatilità, avventura e ascolto profondo del personaggio, tra cinema indipendente e grandi produzioni globali. Su Unica Radio, Giuseppe Boy si racconta con la calma di chi ha attraversato molti mondi senza mai fermarsi davvero. Attore, regista, poeta e performer, Giuseppe Boy è un artista poliedrico, capace di muoversi tra teatro di strada, cinema d'autore e grandi produzioni senza perdere mai identità. La recente vittoria come Miglior attore di cortometraggi al Miraband UK Film Awards di Londra per L'occhio di San Salvatore ha acceso nuovamente i riflettori su un percorso lungo, stratificato e coerente, costruito nel tempo più sull'esperienza che sull'etichetta. Giuseppe Boy e l'inizio tra caso e necessità L'ingresso di Giuseppe Boy nel mondo dello spettacolo non nasce da un progetto preciso, ma da una combinazione di incontri, curiosità e bisogno di espressione. Il teatro di strada e il mimo-clown diventano negli anni Ottanta il primo terreno di sperimentazione, un luogo libero dove mettersi alla prova senza filtri. In quel contesto, il corpo diventa linguaggio e il pubblico un interlocutore diretto. È qui che si forma l'idea di performance come esperienza viva, capace di lasciare tracce durature. Una visione che accompagnerà l'artista anche nelle successive incursioni nel cinema e nella poesia performativa. Dalla poesia ai set "di serie A" Prima ancora della cinepresa, la scrittura resta centrale. Giuseppe Boy non ama definirsi poeta, ma riconosce nella poesia il linguaggio che più gli appartiene. Un esercizio di sintesi e profondità che torna utile anche davanti alla macchina da presa. Il passaggio ai set televisivi arriva con produzioni importanti come Romulus, serie atipica per linguaggio e ambientazione, girata in un latino arcaico e immersa in scenari estremi. Per Giuseppe Boy, lavorare in una grande produzione non cambia l'essenza del mestiere: ciò che conta è l'energia condivisa, che sia con cinque persone o con una troupe di novanta. Il cinema come avventura Il cinema, per Giuseppe Boy, resta soprattutto un'avventura collettiva. Ogni progetto è un viaggio che richiede fiducia, ascolto e capacità di adattamento. Questo vale tanto per le grandi serie quanto per il cinema indipendente. Nel cortometraggio L'occhio di San Salvatore, diretto da Roberto D'Aprile, l'attore affronta uno dei ruoli più intensi della sua carriera: un uomo solo, in dialogo silenzioso con un luogo e con sé stesso. Un personaggio che attinge profondamente alla sua interiorità e alla sua formazione teatrale. Il riconoscimento internazionale e la maturità artistica Il premio londinese arriva in un momento di piena consapevolezza. Non come punto di arrivo, ma come conferma. Per Giuseppe Boy, il valore più grande non è solo il riconoscimento personale, ma la condivisione del successo con il gruppo che ha reso possibile i

A Romulus man is facing a long list of charges -- after allegedly pulling a gun and firing shots outside a middle school. WWJ's Tony Ortiz and Tracey McCaskill have the afternoon's top news stories.

Episode Title: "I Am The Doctor, Whether You Like It Or Not" - The Twin Dilemma Review THE GREAT REVERSAL: After three seasons of John defending Peter Davison against Jim's criticisms, the tables turn completely. Jim embraces Colin Baker. JIM'S SHOCKING TAKE: "I don't usually line up with Doctor Who fans because I did not like Caves of Androzani and I liked this. I liked Baker. If it's not what the show needed at this moment in time, it's definitely what I needed. I needed a Doctor who was more awake and doing things... larger." THE TWIN DILEMMA (March 22-30, 1984) Writer: Anthony Steven (first and only Doctor Who story - oldest writer at 67!) Director: Peter Moffatt (returning) The Legend: Doctor Who Magazine 2009 poll - Caves of Androzani came in #1. The Twin Dilemma came in #200... DEAD LAST. The Rift Begins: Saward wasn't happy with Baker's casting (thought he was miscast), didn't like JNT's stunt casting focus, and objected to JNT comparing Doctor Who to comedy show "Morecambe and Wise." THE DAVISON SLAM: The Shocking Lines: "I never really liked him anyway" "He had a sort of feckless charm" Definition of feckless: "Lacking initiative or strength of character; irresponsible" The Culprits: Either JNT (getting back at Davison for leaving?), Saward (who did the heavy rewrite), or Steven - but those lines don't get through without approval. Jim's Theory: "I can't see JNT being happy with Davison leaving after three years. This could be him being petty." STORY BREAKDOWN: Mathematical geniuses Romulus and Remus are abducted by mysterious Edgeworth and taken to Mestor on asteroid Titan Three. The newly regenerated, unstable Doctor picks a new outfit, declares himself "unregenerate," and plans to become a hermit with Peri. The twins' father alerts authorities. Police commander scrambles fighters to investigate the freighter - only survivor is pilot Hugo Lang who accuses the Doctor of the attack. The twins are forced to do calculations for Edgeworth (revealed as Azmael, a Time Lord and the Doctor's old teacher). Mestor plans to move two planets into Jaconda's orbit as "larders" to replenish the wasting planet. The Doctor realizes the calculations are off - the worlds will crash into the sun, destroying everything but scattering Mestor's gastropod eggs throughout the universe. Mestor demonstrates mind-possession on Azmael, threatening to take the Doctor's body. The Doctor destroys Mestor's slug body. Azmael dies exorcising Mestor's mind. Jacondans are freed. Lang stays to help with mop-up. The Doctor returns the twins to Earth. CHARACTER ANALYSIS: The Sixth Doctor - Every Previous Doctor Combined: Hartnell's there (not the lead initially, Peri has more agency) Troughton: "We must find this evil and destroy it!" Pertwee: Says "Eureka!" Tom Baker: The ego is BACK and turned up to 11 Davison: The violence continues, referenced regeneration fears New Affectation: Repeating words three times when incredulous or angry ("Sweet, sweet, sweet") Hugo Lang - The Space Dirty Harry: Jim's Justice League addition! "You might reach that gun before I can kill you" - classic action hero dialogue. Stays on Jaconda at the end despite having "no one to go back to." Kevin McNally plays Hugo (later Pirates of the Caribbean's Gibbs!) Azmael: Time Lord, the Doctor's favorite teacher (sorry, Borusa!). Controls Jaconda, calls them "my people" (why does a Time Lord want to rule a planet?). The Death Scene: John loved it - touched and warm between Azmael and the Doctor. "The finest teacher I ever had." Mestor: Giant slug with mind-control powers and embolism ray ("little bubbles, not good"). Finds Peri "pleasing" so doesn't kill her immediately (second ugly being attracted to Peri after Sharaz Jek). PRODUCTION DETAILS: New Title Sequence: Sparkly! Logo curved! Colin's face transitions from serious to smiling! The TARDIS: Has a chair! The Doctor calls the outside "hideous" - setup for attempting to fix chameleon circuit next story Trans-Mat Love: Jim adores that this technology persists throughout Who history. The Doctor turns it into a time travel device ("just a few little adjustments") Old Who Connections Everywhere: Braveheart Tegan reference Azmael knew Fourth Doctor Wine at the fountain (Big Finish goldmine!) Space police headquarters "straight out of Troughton's time" The Video Games: The twins face each other with what look like handheld gaming consoles - repurposed 1970s electronic games! John searched everywhere to identify them. Actor Notes: Maurice Denham returns in Pertwee BBC audio "The Paradise of Death" and appeared with Roger Delgado in "The Slide" Edwin Richfield (Mestor) was Captain Hart in "The Sea Devils" The twins' real father played a gunrunner in "Caves of Androzani"! THE ENDING - "WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT": The Lines: "Wait a bit before criticizing my new persona" "I am the Doctor, whether you like it or not" The Delivery: Spoken directly to camera, directly to the audience. Then both smile - a wink? Softening the harshness? Jim's Question: "Why put that in there? You don't just have something like that unless you already felt you were getting pushback." The Speculation: Was it in original script or added during filming? Did it start as Doctor-to-Peri dialogue that got strengthened and shifted to Doctor-to-audience? The Challenge: "People will be like 'All right, let me give it another try.' This has been the thing about doing review shows - stuff I thought was garbage as a kid is really good now, and vice versa. The Meta Moment: Lots of meta at beginning and end - the story knows it's a transition. NEXT TIME: Patreon Exclusive #152 - Music, Colin Baker's comic debut, Season 21 Retrospective (the good, bad, and ugly), spoiler card revealing something about Season 22, Memory TARDIS spin, and a longer-than-usual episode!

Kids are ending their school day on edge right now in Romulus -- while police are there to monitor. This comes after a man tried to enter the school with a gun. WWJ's Tony Ortiz and Tracey McCaskill have the day's top news stories.

As we embrace resolutions and light up the skies with fireworks, it's time to mark the arrival of the New Year! All of us on the Do You Really Know team, hoping you soaked in the holiday vibes and send you our warm wishes for a splendid 2024. Today, planet Earth has set off on another full orbit around the sun, a journey which will span 365 days until we hit the reset button again next year. And that's why we now refer to January 1st as New Year's Day. But bear in mind, that wasn't always the case. We can trace back our calendar roots to the Romans and their initial 355-day calendar. That's right: 355, and not the 365 we're used to these days. That lunar-based system was credited to Numa Pompilius, the legendary second King of Rome, who succeeded Romulus. And it saw the New Year kick off in March, a nod to Mars, the Roman god of war.  When did January 1st appear then? What about elsewhere in the world? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Show 12-26-25 The show begins in doubts of the veneration of Cicero. and the derogation of Aggripina Minor. 1880 SULLA SACKING ROME ROME BEFORE THE EMPERORS: CICERO'S RISE Colleague Josiah Osgood. John Batchelor introduces Josiah Osgood to discuss Marcus Tullius Cicero, a "new man" who rose to political prominence through legal skill in the 1st century BCE. They examine Cicero's debut defense of Roscius, accused of patricide, a crime punished by being sewn into a sack with animals. Cicero proved Roscius was framed by relatives seeking to seize his inheritance, establishing his reputation for storytelling and detective work. NUMBER 1 THE PROSECUTION OF VERRES Colleague Josiah Osgood. Cicero takes on the corruption trial of Gaius Verres, the governor of Sicily who looted art and money from the province. Although Cicero usually defended clients to earn favors, he prosecuted Verres to align with political shifts demanding reform. Verres was backed by the Senateestablishment and Sulla's followers, making Cicero's move a bold attack by an outsider against a "crooked establishment" to cleanse the government. NUMBER 2 CICERO VS. CATILINE: THE CONSPIRACY BEGINS Colleague Josiah Osgood. Cicero captivated the jury against Verres by describing the governor partying while pirates raided Syracuse, causing Verres to flee into exile. Later, Cicero achieved the consulship by defeating Catiline, an aristocrat who became his bitter rival. Desperate after losing the election again, Catiline conspired with a fashionable group of young men to overthrow the government, leading to a showdown with Cicero in the Senate. NUMBER 3 THE EXECUTION MISTAKE Colleague Josiah Osgood. Cicero ordered the execution of five high-ranking Romancitizens allied with Catiline without a trial, believing them to be traitors who forfeited citizenship. This decision, made despite Julius Caesar's suggestion of life imprisonment, became a major political error. Cicero's gloating and refusal to grant due process alienated the public and powerful figures, turning him into a target for the populist movement and threatening his future career. NUMBER 4 THE BONA DEA SCANDAL Colleague Josiah Osgood. A scandal erupts when Publius Clodius infiltrates the women-only Bona Dea ceremony at Caesar's house disguised as a female musician, allegedly to pursue Caesar's wife. Although Cicero initially hesitated, he testified against Clodius, destroying his alibi that he was out of town. This testimony created a dangerous enemy in Clodius, who, despite the sacrilege charge, managed to secure an acquittal through bribery. NUMBER 5 EXILE AND THE TEMPLE OF LIBERTY Colleague Josiah Osgood. Seeking revenge, Clodius transitions to plebeian status to become a tribune and passes a law punishing anyone who executed citizens without trial, specifically targeting Cicero. Forced into exile, Cicero flees Rome while Clodius destroys his mansion on Palatine Hill. Clodiusdedicates the site to the goddess Liberty as a political coup and a humiliation to Cicero, while also harassing Cicero'swife, Terentia, who remained in Rome. NUMBER 6 THE IDES OF MARCH Colleague Josiah Osgood. Cicero returns to a Rome on the brink of civil war, eventually being pardoned by the victor, Caesar. Resenting Caesar's tyranny, Cicero seemingly encouraged Brutus but was not part of the assassination plot. On the Ides of March, Cicero witnessed the murder in the Senate; Brutus shouted Cicero's name while holding the bloody dagger, linking the orator to the restoration of the Republic in the public eye. NUMBER 7 THE DEATH OF CICERO Colleague Josiah Osgood. Following Caesar's death, Cicero returns to politics to oppose Mark Antony, delivering the "Philippics" and allying with young Octavian. This strategy backfires when Octavianreconciles with Antony, leading to a kill order against Cicero for his anti-Caesar rhetoric. Cicero is assassinated, possibly meeting his death with theatrical heroism by extending his neck to the soldiers, a scene likely popularized by his loyal secretary Tiro. NUMBER 8 THE SABINE WOMEN AND AUGUSTAN HISTORY Colleague Emma Southon. Emma Southon discusses A Rome of One's Own, examining history through women's perspectives. They analyze the myth of the Sabine women, abducted by Romulus to populate Rome. This story, recorded by Livy to flatter Augustus, culminates in Hersilia and the women intervening in battle to unite the warring fathers and husbands. It establishes women as the "glue" holding Romanfamilies and society together. NUMBER 9 LUCRETIA: VIRTUE AND SUICIDE Colleague Emma Southon. The discussion moves to Lucretia, the model of Roman female virtue. During a contest among husbands, Lucretia is found virtuously weaving wool while others party. This leads to her rape by Sextus Tarquinius, who threatens her reputation. To protect her honor, Lucretia confesses to her family and commits suicide, an act Augustus later used to define female virtue and which sparked the end of the monarchy. NUMBER 10 TULLIA AND THE BIRTH OF THE REPUBLIC Colleague Emma Southon. Contrasting Lucretia is Tullia, a figure of female ambition and wickedness. Tullia conspires with her brother-in-law to murder their spouses and her own father, the king, even driving over his body. Her crimes and the subsequent assault on Lucretia by her son, Sextus, justify the overthrow of the monarchy. Brutus uses Lucretia's body to incite the revolution that establishes the Roman Republic. NUMBER 11 CLODIA: THE PALATINE MEDEA Colleague Emma Southon. The segment focuses on Clodia, a wealthy, independent woman and sister of Clodius. Cicero, feuding with her brother, attacks Clodia's reputation during the trial of Caelius. In his speech Pro Caelio, Cicero characterizes her as a "Palatine Medea" and a seductress to discredit her claims of attempted poisoning. Unable to speak in court, Clodia is silenced by Cicero's rhetorical assassination of her character. NUMBER 12 JULIA: THE EMPEROR'S REBELLIOUS DAUGHTER Colleague Emma Southon. Augustus uses his daughter Julia as a political tool, marrying her to Marcellus, Agrippa, and finally the reluctant Tiberius to secure an heir. While she had five children with Agrippa, her forced marriage to Tiberius leads to rebellion. Julia engages in public adulterous affairs to humiliate her father, resulting in her permanent exile and eventual starvation by Tiberius after Augustus'sdeath. NUMBER 13 QUEENS OF BRITAIN: CARTIMANDUA AND BOUDICCA Colleague Emma Southon. This segment contrasts two British queens: Cartimandua and Boudicca. Cartimandua, queen of the Brigantes, collaborates successfully with Rome, understanding they are "not to be defeated, they're to be pleased." Conversely, Boudicca represents resistance; provoked by Roman mistreatment, she leads a rebellion but is defeated. While Tacitus claims Boudicca committed suicide to preserve honor, English schools celebrate her as a symbol of resistance against tyranny. NUMBER 14 WOMEN OF COMMERCE AND THE FRONTIER Colleague Emma Southon. We meet Julia Felix, a Pompeianentrepreneur who ran a luxury bath and dining complex, offering "bougie" experiences to the middle class before dying in the Vesuvius eruption. The discussion shifts to Vindolanda in Britain, where letters between Sulpicia Lepidina and Claudia Severa reveal a vibrant social life for women in military forts, including birthday parties and domestic luxuries like wild swan and imported wine. NUMBER 15 PERPETUA AND THE RISE OF CHRISTIANITY Colleague Emma Southon. The final segment discusses Perpetua, a young nursing mother and Christian convert in Carthage. Defying the Roman mandate to sacrifice to the emperor, she views suffering as redemptive rather than a punishment. Unlike Romans who viewed suicide by poison as honorable, Perpetua and her slave Felicity choose martyrdom in the arena, having their throats cut to demonstrate their faith, signaling the rise of Christianity. NUMBER 16

THE SABINE WOMEN AND AUGUSTAN HISTORY Colleague Emma Southon. Emma Southon discusses A Rome of One's Own, examining history through women's perspectives. They analyze the myth of the Sabine women, abducted by Romulus to populate Rome. This story, recorded by Livy to flatter Augustus, culminates in Hersilia and the women intervening in battle to unite the warring fathers and husbands. It establishes women as the "glue" holding Romanfamilies and society together. NUMBER 9

Journey back to the very beginnings of Rome, to the quiet hills and flow Tiber River where destiny stirred. Follow the story of Romulus and Remus, the legendary twins raised by a she-wolf, guided by fate, and destined to found a city that would change the world. This soothing tale blends Roman mythology, ancient history, and legendary origins in a gentle, sleep-inducing narrative perfect for dreamlike reflection. Let this sleep story lull you into restful sleep.

From her living room in Romulus, 94-year-old Ardena Vaughn takes us from Black Bottom to the “tracks” in Romulus, weaving a lifetime of memories that tell the story of Legacy Black Detroit's past and its unfinished future. Born at Herman Kiefer and raised on Cameron Street, Ardena remembers marching in the alley when “Joe Louis would win” with tin tubs and cans, feeling the whole block erupt when the Brown Bomber put Detroit on the map. She recalls walking past the Chesterfield Lounge, hearing Dinah Washington and the hum of Black nightlife she was “too young to understand, but old enough to feel.” In this conversation she breaks down what it meant to move from the heart of the city to Romulus in the 1940s, where “the tracks” literally divided Black and white neighborhoods. Ardena shares how she became the first Black supervisor at a micro-measurements plant supplying airplanes and automobiles—“I don't even know how I got that job.” She talks about Saturdays riding back into the city for piano lessons, eating hot waffles with ice cream Kresge, and then coming home to build a life rooted in AME church, choir, and family. Still, her wisdom for future generations is simple: “Love everybody… try to be a good example… stay busy.” She still drives her 20-year-old Grand Am, still hosts the holidays, and still plays weekly Scrabble.

Quand on parle de la chute de l'Empire romain, on imagine souvent un effondrement brutal, des barbares envahissant Rome et un empire s'écroulant en une nuit. En réalité, la fin de Rome fut un lent déclin, et son dernier empereur, Romulus Augustule, n'en fut que le symbole, plus que l'acteur.Romulus Augustule – diminutif d'« Auguste » – monta sur le trône en 475 après J.-C., à tout juste 15 ans. Il n'était pas choisi pour sa bravoure ou sa sagesse, mais pour sa commodité. Son père, Oreste, un ancien officier de l'armée romaine, avait renversé l'empereur légitime Julius Nepos et placé son propre fils sur le trône d'Occident. En vérité, Romulus n'était qu'une marionnette politique, un adolescent sans autorité réelle, manipulé par son père dans une cour rongée par les luttes de pouvoir.À cette époque, l'Empire romain d'Occident n'était plus que l'ombre de lui-même. Rome avait perdu son prestige, Ravenne était devenue la capitale, et les véritables maîtres du territoire étaient désormais les chefs barbares installés en Italie. Parmi eux se trouvait Odoacre, un chef germain au service de l'armée romaine. En 476, les troupes, majoritairement composées de mercenaires barbares, se révoltèrent contre Oreste, réclamant des terres en Italie. Devant son refus, elles se rangèrent derrière Odoacre. Oreste fut capturé et exécuté, et Odoacre marcha sur Ravenne.Plutôt que de faire exécuter le jeune empereur, Odoacre décida de l'épargner. Il le déposa du trône, lui fit remettre les insignes impériaux à l'empereur d'Orient, Zénon, et lui accorda une pension confortable. Ce geste, presque anodin, marqua pourtant un tournant majeur : c'est la fin officielle de l'Empire romain d'Occident, traditionnellement datée de 476 après J.-C.Romulus Augustule disparut ensuite de l'histoire. On ignore ce qu'il devint – certains affirment qu'il vécut paisiblement en Campanie, d'autres qu'il mourut jeune. Mais son nom lui-même, Romulus (le fondateur de Rome) et Augustule (le petit Auguste), semble avoir été une ironie du destin : le premier et le dernier empereur de Rome réunis dans un même nom.Son règne marqua la fin d'un monde vieux de plus d'un millénaire. Après lui, Rome ne fut plus jamais un empire dirigé depuis l'Italie, mais une mémoire, un héritage que les rois et les papes tenteront sans cesse de ressusciter. Hébergé par Acast.

The Roman emperor Julian (r. 361-363 CE) was a man of action and of letters, which he employed in an effort to return the Empire to the light of the pagan gods, and reverse the Christianization of the empire advanced by his uncle Constantine and the sons of Constantine. This enterprise was inspired and guided by his conversion to the Neoplatonic philosophy and radical pagan Hellenism of Iamblichus and his disciples, and promoted by his production of Greek orations, letters, and satires. These works present a coherent vision of the providentially guided history and destiny of Rome as a series of foundations and refoundations enacted by rulers such as Romulus, Numa, and Caesar Augustus. As this book demonstrates, Julian offers an Iamblichean approach to the exegesis of the legends of Rome's founding, the allegories of Plato's dialogues, and myths of his own creation in order to articulate his own role in the refounding of the Empire. Furthermore, argues Jeremy Swist, approaching the wider examination of Julian's imperial self-image on these terms ends up nuancing and challenging common assumptions influenced by the rhetoric of his contemporary proponents. In his reverence for the gods and for philosophy, the emperor's self-construction embraces the identities of a statesman and soldier more than of a philosopher, of a Roman more than a Greek, and of a mere human rather than a semi-divine being. While distancing himself from the ideal models of philosophical virtue and imperial founding that inspire his own actions, he adopts a different set of exemplary figures as mirrors of himself.

Send us a textA dead station, a desperate crew, and something old that refuses to die—Alien: Romulus pulled us right back into the vent-crawling panic that made this franchise iconic. We unpack why the film's tighter cast, cleaner objectives, and suffocating design make every footstep louder and every choice sting. From that first breathless stalk to a jaw-dropping zero-G showdown, Romulus plays with darkness and silence like weapons, then detonates them at the perfect moment.What surprised us most was the heart: Andy, an outdated synthetic whose dad-joke warmth becomes a knife twist once corporate directives take hold. We dig into how that dual performance reframes trust and turns the station into a social minefield. Then we zoom out to the theme that binds the saga together—motherhood. Alien has always been about bodies, creation, and control; Romulus revitalizes those ideas with a pregnancy plot that heightens empathy and horror in equal measure. It's grotesque, yes, but it's also purposeful, echoing Ripley's lineage, Prometheus's surgical terror, and Resurrection's tragic offspring.Lore hounds, we see you. We trace the black goo breadcrumbs, a chilling chrysalis survival mechanic for xenos, and the risks and rewards of a controversial CGI likeness. When does nostalgia enrich the story, and when does it pull you out? We make the case that Romulus mostly uses its echoes to sharpen stakes—acid blood as a structural threat, environmental tricks that hint at how xenomorphs perceive prey, and character beats that hurt.By the end, we stack Romulus against the greats and ask the big question: did it just earn a place alongside the 1979 original?

When you imagine the city Rome, what comes to mind? Maybe the Colosseum, the Vatican, one of the largest empires in history, or delicious pasta? Rome isn't just Italy's capital; it's also one of the most influential cities in human history. In today's Thinking in English episode, we are going to take a journey through time, from the mythical founding of the city by Romulus and Remus, through the Roman Republic and Empire, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and finally to modern Rome. I'm not an expert on Italian history, but I loved researching this episode and I think this is such an interesting topic. You'll discover its myths, politics, art, and language, and of course learn plenty of useful English vocabulary along the way.

Att en liten stad vid floden Tibern på den italienska halvön kunde förvandlas till ett imperium som sträckte sig från Mesopotamien till Britannien har fängslat oss i årtusenden. Och Romarriket fortsätter att påverka oss genom språk, arkitektur och lagstiftning.Romarrikets ursprung vilar på legenderna om tvillingarna Romulus och Remus och även hjälten Aeneas från Troja. Dessa myter visar vilka ideal Romarriket byggdes på.Detta är det första av sex avsnitt om Romarriket i podden Historia Nu. Programledaren Urban Lindstedt samtalar med Ida Östenberg, professor i antikens kultur och samhällsliv vid Göteborgs universitet.Arkeologiska fynd visar att bosättningar fanns på Palatinen och Roms andra kullar redan under 800-talet f.Kr. Utgrävningar visar ett samhälle i förändring, påverkat av grannar som etruskerna, och med en växande ambition att härska över mer än bara sina egna sju kullar.Den viktigaste faktorn bakom Roms expansion under antiken var dess militära styrka och organisatoriska skicklighet. Genom ett disciplinerat och flexibelt armésystem, strategisk utplacering av kolonier samt effektiv integration av erövrade folk som medborgare eller allierade, kunde Rom snabbt utvidga sitt herravälde.Det geografiska läget vid Tibern möjliggjorde handel och kommunikation, vilket skapade resurser och strategiska fördelar. Handelsvägar och ekonomiska incitament ledde till välstånd och möjliggjorde import av livsmedel och råvaror – avgörande för att försörja den växande befolkningen och försörja armén. Politisk stabilitet och ett fungerande rättssystem, som de tolv tavlornas lag, bidrog till ordning i ett snabbt växande rike.Roms järnåldersbyar växte gradvis samman. På 600-talet f.Kr. dränerades myrmarkerna mellan kullarna med hjälp av Cloaca Maxima, och Forum Romanum började ta form som stadens centrum.Rom utvecklades från ett kungadöme – där sju legendariska kungar regerade till en republik från år 509 f.Kr. Republiken kom att expandera till ett imperium som kom att dominera hela Medelhavsområdet och stora delar av Europa.Under denna tid utövade etruskerna stort inflytande på Rom. Ett tekniskt och konstnärligt lyft märks i övergången från enkla hyddor till tegel- och stenbyggnader, och från lokala kulter till monumentala tempel. Etruskisk stadsplanering, religiösa ritualer och symboler som fasces införlivades i den romerska kulturen.Etruskerna hade ett utvecklat skriftspråk, avancerad teknik och ett rikt religiöst system som påverkade romarna. Gudavärlden förändrades: den tidigare enkla italiska tron ersattes gradvis av en mer antropomorf och hellenistiskt influerad pantheon. Triaden Jupiter, Juno och Minerva blev symboler för romersk makt och ordning.Omslag: Montage med bröderna Tiberius och Gaius Gracchus som var romerska folktribuner som verkade för omfattande jord- och samhällsreformer till förmån för de fattiga klasserna. En skulpterad framställning från 1800‑talet föreställande de två bröderna Gracchus, utförd av Jean‑Baptiste Claude Eugène Guillaume. Idag uppställd vid Musée d'Orsay i Paris. Wikipedia.

I think the problem, as usual, is going to be people.https://youtu.be/86nhP8tvbLY?si=179uCtun2WcHLHNzI am a music fan and watch many of the big music theory channels on YouTube. Rhett Shull is a musician and YouTuber who has been around the platform for a very long time. In one of his most recent videos, he noticed that YouTube seems to be adding some type of AI filter to his videos and it's not just his videos. In this video he shows several examples and while it looks like YouTube might be using the AI filter to enhance video clarity the most interesting part about it is that he didn't approve it.That's right, it looks like YouTube is adding AI to people's video without their permission or notification.And that to me is the rub.Mike, you're our AI guru what do you make of this?[Kick to Mike]Christina, from an ethics standpoint, what are your thoughts?[kick to Christina]Next, we are back to the world of TTRPGs with a little fun article from EN World.https://www.enworld.org/threads/with-alien-earth-about-to-hit-our-screens-here-for-free-are-a5es-xenid-monster-stats.714828/In preparation for the new Alien series Alien Earth on Hulu, EN World shows some screen shots from the just kickstarted Voidrunners Codex. This new 5E supplement from EN Publishing, the same company that brings you EN World, is a Sci-Fi supplement for D&D Fifth Edition and in their upcoming release they have not one, not two, but 6 pages dedicated to our favorite space monster.Now I bring this up, because some of you might be interested in just such a supplement, and that's cool. But personally, I wanted an opportunity to yell at the Disney Corporation and 20th Century Fox for completely ruining what should have been one of the greatest film franchises in the history of film. I mean seriously, Alien is a masterclass of storytelling and Aliens flipped the script by turning horror into an action/thriller. Then the studio dropped the ball on what should have been a solid David Fincher directed Alien 3. What little good was in that movie was completely excised in Alien Resurrection, then the god-awful Alien vs. Predator films, don't get me started on Prometheus, and Covenant and Romulus just doubled down on the Prometheus crap…And then I tried to watch Alien Earth. It's written by children. Stupid, lazy, and barely literate children.Christina, talk me off the ledge.[Kick to Christina]Mike, what are your thoughts?[Kick to Mike]And there you have it, all the news you've already heard. 

Welcome to Neelix's Kitchen Nightmares you doughnuts!I'm Gordon Ramsey and we've got three meals for you to shove in your face from three questionable kitchens.Neelix's kitchen's covered in fluff and filth and seems to have been made in a large office meeting room. Will his food help Seven of Nine in “The Raven” or will it bring back dire flashbacks? I think we all know how it's going to go.Next up is the unnamed chef of the Enterprise who actually has a full kitchen. Hoshi Sato comes in and takes over, does she think she's me or something? She gets the job done, possibly a bit too much in “Singularity”. Also there's some delightful nonsense with a chair.Finally William T Riker's got the midlife crisis giant pizza oven out for a visit from his space dad, JL Picard in “Nepenthe”. Has he got what it takes, or will this episode and pizza both be undercooked? Whatever it is, it's better than the replicated cake that gets thrown up all over La Sirena!This is actually Charlie, I've no idea what Gordon Ramsey sounds like, I hope you enjoy the show!00:05:21 What Non-Star Trek Thing We've Been Enjoying: Hungerstone by Kat Dunn, Alien: Earth00:16:50 The Raven00:48:33 Singularity01:19:43 NepentheTalking points include: The hyperfixation black hole, all the British food Miles misses, Hungerstone and other Carmillas, Alien: Earth and rants about latter Alien movies, which war was best: Britpop, Kree/Skrull or Avengers/Defenders, the works of Bryan Fuller and his horrifying first draft, Dexter & Sherlock Holmes, Dark Skies, marmite, people talking about their novels/characters, Phlox is basically Hank McCoy, James Bond Themes, Elnor doing a Metal Gear Solid, is Rizzo the Rat a Romulan?, old JL's such a rogue again, Gilmore Girls and decades-later sequel problems, .

Okay, in this episode (which was recorded back in 2024) Kieran, Paul and I discuss the Fede Álvarez film 'Alien: Romulus'. Kieran and Paul are big fans of this franchise and so there was much for us to chew on in this conversation.

We're nearing the end of our look at the Romulus characters, and this one is so memorable, neither of us could remember how he died…

Au VIIIe siècle avant notre ère, le dieu Mars, fou de désir pour une vestale prénommée Rhéa Silvia, fait d'elle une mère. Mais les jumeaux qu'elle a mis au monde sont bientôt jetés dans les eaux du Tibre. Sauvés, ils sont recueillis par une louve. Bientôt, Romulus et Remus s'affrontent. Seul l'un d'eux deviendra le roi de Rome. Distribué par Audiomeans. Visitez audiomeans.fr/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.
