WSTR Galactic Public Access: Queen Jamilla, Star Wars News, and Convention Rants This episode starts with a deep look at Queen Jamilla, a brief but meaningful Naboo leader in Attack of the Clones, and uses her to explore Naboo politics, democracy, and how Star Wars makes even tiny characters feel important. Todd also covers a few Star Wars news items, then wraps with personal updates on Fortnite, Fan Expo Chicago, and the challenges of crowded convention venues. Key topics Todd explains who Queen Jamilla is A Naboo monarch with less than two minutes of screen time, but enough presence to spark a long character discussion. He walks through her role as Queen Amidala's successor and her place in the prequel-era timeline. Why Queen Jamilla matters despite limited screen time Todd argues that even minor political figures help Star Wars feel like a lived-in galaxy. He connects Jamilla's short appearance to the larger sense of Naboo continuity and political realism. Naboo politics and democratic idealism Jamilla's line about keeping faith in the Republic becomes the core theme of the segment. Todd contrasts her trust in institutions with Amidala's more experienced, harder-earned political perspective. Jamilla's relationship to Padmé Amidala Todd reads Jamilla as someone seeking advice and guidance from a respected predecessor. Their interaction is framed as mutual trust, with Padmé representing experience and Jamilla representing idealism. The threat of war in the background The discussion touches on the growing separatist crisis and the early signs of the Clone Wars. Todd views Jamilla as somewhat sheltered from the galaxy's larger collapse, which shapes her optimism. Naboo's social structure and leadership Todd questions the age and selection of Naboo's queens, noting the youth of both Padmé and Jamilla. He suggests Naboo could have benefited from more integration, especially between humans and Gungans. Why Star Wars includes brief political characters Todd says these characters show that life continues outside the main heroes. He connects this to how the franchise builds scale, realism, and background texture. News of the week: Star Wars: Starfighter Todd covers reporting that the new film was inspired by The Outsiders. He highlights the gritty, loyalty-driven tone and the pairing of a rugged older lead with a younger companion. News of the week: canceled Mandalorian versus Jedi game He reacts to the leaked gameplay and fan disappointment over another canceled Star Wars title. Todd compares it to other scrapped projects and laments how often promising games never release. News of the week: Ewan McGregor wants back in Todd discusses McGregor pitching ideas for more Obi-Wan content while on the set of Ahsoka. He suggests flashback storytelling could be a smart way to bring Obi-Wan into future projects. Cantina Chat: Fortnite and Fan Expo Chicago Todd talks about collecting 118 sprites in Fortnite and enjoying the new season called Override. He also shares a strong opinion that the Rosemont Convention Center is overcrowded and not as good as C2E2.

 by Patrick BromleyChicago's biggest and best horror convention returns!One of my favorite weekends of the year is Chicago's annual Flashback Weekend, the horror convention created and run by Mike and Mia Kerz that takes place in Rosemont, Illinois. It's three days of panels, parties, contests, vendors, celebrity guests, live music -- everything you could want as a horror fan. This will be my sixth year hosting panels at the convention, but I've been going to Flashback much longer than just these six years. I love it.This year's Flashback features a salute to 30 years of the Scream franchise, celebrates Halloween II, a Night of the Creeps reunion, features first-time Flashback appearances from Henry Thomas, Steven Weber, and the Silent Night, Deadly Night Santas, and even has Obsession co-star Megan Lawless making her convention debut (I get to host her panel on Sunday! Come on out!). Plus, this year sees the world premiere of a brand new Full Moon movie (relevant to my interests!), in-costume photo opps, Alan Howarth playing the score to Halloween II LIVE along with the film, a tribute to Svengoolie (the greatest horror host of all time), and so much more.One of my favorite things about Flashback -- besides all the cool guests and the chance to spend the weekend surrounded by horror stuff and horror fans -- is that it's a family-run convention and really feels that way. All of the proceeds from the con go into supporting the Midway Drive-In located in Dixon, IL -- the nicest and best drive-in in Illinois -- which they bought in 2007. I love that Flashback is dedicated to preserving the big-screen theatrical experience.From this year's press release:Flashback Weekend Chicago Horror ConventionJuly 31 - Aug. 2, 2026Hyatt Regency O'Hare Chicago, Rosemont, IL  60018 Tickets now on sale at www.flashbackweekend.comFlashback Weekend Chicago Horror Convention celebrates its 25th year with a MASSIVE Celebrity guest line-up, amazing evening events, luxurious after-parties, an enormous vendor room, and special Celebrity costume Celeb Photo-Ops.All of this and more, taking place in one of the largest and most beautiful Convention hotels in the World!FLASHBACK WEEKEND 2026 SALUTES;-30 years of SCREAM! Horror Icons! Tribute to the 1980's Golden Age of Horror!"OBSESSION" (2026)!!!

IFR fog and low stratus through midday.KEY FINDING FOR ROSEMONT: Primary storm axis is near/south of the Kankakee River Valley (30-40% chance), and as a precaution north to I-80 (20-25%). Rosemont sits 20+ miles north of I-80 — in the favored DRY zone.At First Pitch (3 PM CDT):- Temperature: ~75-78°F- Dew Point: ~68°F (humid but comfortable with lake breeze)- Sky: Mostly cloudy- Wind: NNE 10-15 mph gusts to 20 mph- Precipitation Probability (Rosemont): ~20%- Severe Threat: Virtually ZERO (limited wind shear, weak instability)=== NWS TERMS EXPLAINED IN THIS EPISODE ===- Baggy shortwave trough: Diffuse, spread-out dip in the jet stream — not a focused punch- Shortwave trough: Small-scale dip in the jet stream driving rising air and weather- Surface low: Low pressure at ground level drawing air inward and upward- Very saturated low levels: Air near the surface is soaked with moisture (dew point 68°F)- Wind shear: How wind speed/direction changes with altitude — limited today = brief pulse storms only- Instability: Atmospheric fuel for thunderstorm updrafts — much weaker than heat dome days- GFS, NAM, HREF, NBM: Weather models used to generate forecast guidance- Ensemble spread: Range of solutions across multiple model runs=== IMPACT FIELD DRAINAGE — THE SECRET WEAPON ===Built in 2018 with one of the best drainage systems in minor league baseball.Can absorb 1 inch of rain (64,000 gallons) and return to playable condition in 20-25 minutes.Source: Daily Herald, 2017 pre-opening report.=== RAIN-OUT CRITERIA (American Association / Impact Field) ===Per Chicago Dogs official policy: Games will NOT be postponed before start time except in extreme circumstances.American Association umpires determine delays/postponements once game begins.Actual stoppage triggers: Standing water ≥1/4 inch in batter's box/pitcher's rubber zone, field saturation preventing cleat grip, visibility below 500 feet, OR lightning within 8 miles.Official game: 5 innings completed (4.5 if home team leads).No game: Fewer than 5 innings, cannot resume — must be replayed.=== VERDICT ===Rain-out probability at Impact Field: LOW.- Rosemont is 20+ miles north of the primary storm zone- Severe threat: Virtually zero- ~20% POP in the NWS hourly forecast (8 in 10 scenarios = no rain during game)- If a brief shower does clip the stadium, drainage allows resumption in ~25 min- Lightning within 8 miles is the most likely cause of any delay — and the storm track argues against itRECOMMENDATION: Go to the game. Bring a light rain jacket. Bring sunscreen. Wear comfortable shoes.=== SOURCES ===- NWS Chicago AFD: https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=LOT&issuedby=LOT&product=AFD- NWS Hourly Forecast (Rosemont): https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=Rosemont&state=IL&site=LOT&textField1=41.9836&textField2=-87.8742&FcstType=digital- Chicago Dogs Rain Policy: https://thechicagodogs.com/explore-impact/policies/- Impact Field Drainage: Daily Herald, September 2017- CBS Chicago morning forecast: https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/chicago-weather-first-alert-weather/Tags: weather, Chicago Dogs, Impact Field, Rosemont, game day forecast, rain delay, baseball weather, NWS ChicagoBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weather-with-enthusiasm--4911017/support.Weather with Enthusiasm is produced by Kol Simcha Productions.New episodes drop daily (B'N)— a morning forecast at 7 AM and historical deep dives Tuesdays and Thursdays. Contact: kolsimchaproductions@outlook.comHistorical content is thoroughly researched and factually verified.

Sunny. No Rain. Game Delayed.The Field Science Behind the Delay at Impact Field — Chicago Dogs vs. Winnipeg Goldeyes, July 5, 2026It's sunny. The radar is clean. Not a drop of rain is falling. And the game is delayed 1 hour 45 minutes.Here's why — and why the history of this land made it almost inevitable.=== WHAT HAPPENED ===The Chicago Dogs owner addressed fans, offered refunds to everyone staying and free future tickets to anyone who left. Fans played catch on the field while the grounds crew applied calcined clay conditioner to firm up the surface. New first pitch: 4:45 PM CDT.=== THE RAINFALL DISCREPANCY ===Owner cited ~6 inches. Official NWS O'Hare CF6 record shows:- July 2: 1.64"- July 3: 1.71"- July 4 storm: ~3" at O'Hare per MWRD/NWS (after morning obs cutoff)- Month-to-date through July 4: 3.53" officialMWRD confirmed the McCook TARP system (Cook County flood control) filled 6 times this year — more than the prior 5 years combined.Local field-level measurements at Impact Field, a low-lying site, likely exceeded the airport gauge. The real total near the stadium: 3.5–6 inches over several days.=== WHY THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM WASN'T ENOUGH ===Roger Bossard's celebrated drainage system handles 1 inch / 64,000 gallons on the playing surface in 20–25 minutes — from an acute single event. When the soil column is cumulatively saturated over multiple days, it reaches "field capacity" — gravity drainage stops, the subbase has no remaining capacity, and the surface loses structural support from below. The top layer looks dry. The field is sunny. But the turf will slide and give way under lateral force, creating serious injury risk.=== THE CONDITIONER ===Calcined clay (Turface MVP or Diamond Dry) — kiln-fired at ~1800°F, becomes highly porous and absorbs surface moisture rapidly. Addresses the top 2–3 inches only. Under a lake breeze, firms the surface in 45–90 minutes.=== ROSEMONT'S FLOODING HISTORY ===The Village of Rosemont incorporated in 1956 partly to address flooding. Willow Creek flooded so regularly that rowboats were a household necessity. First village president Donald Stephens made correcting flooding a founding mission. The Impact Field site sits on that same low-lying Chicago lake plain between I-294 and O'Hare.=== 2018 FLOODING AT IMPACT FIELD ===September 3, 2018 — the first season. 2.5 inches fell in 25 minutes. Fans were evacuated. Documented by Live Storms Media: "Insane CG barrage and flooding at Impact Field." This is why Bossard built what he built.=== CURRENT WEATHER (as of ~3 PM CDT) ===NWS AFD issued 1:52 PM CDT by forecaster Doom: "Latest satellite trends show no distinct signs of new development anywhere around the area — confidence to there being little to no impacts north of I-80." HRRR, GFS, ECMWF all show dry conditions at Rosemont through the evening. The 4:45 PM game should be played in sunshine.=== SOURCES ===- NWS O'Hare CF6: https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=LOT&issuedby=ORD&product=CF6- MWRD TARP storm update July 4: https://mwrd.org/news/1030-am-storm-update-mwrds-tarp-systems-manages-heavy-rainfall- NWS Chicago AFD: https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=LOT&issuedby=LOT&product=AFD- Rosemont history / Willow Creek flooding: Encyclopedia of Chicago- 2018 Impact Field flooding: Live Storms Media (YouTube, Sept 3 2018)Tags: weather, Chicago Dogs, Impact Field, Rosemont, rain delay, baseball, field science, soil saturation, groundskeeping, calcined clay, Turface, NWS Chicago, flooding, Chicago historyBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weather-with-enthusiasm--4911017/support.Weather with Enthusiasm is produced by Kol Simcha Productions.New episodes drop daily (B'N)— a morning forecast at 7 AM and historical deep dives Tuesdays and Thursdays. Contact: kolsimchaproductions@outlook.comHistorical content is thoroughly researched and factually verified.

Across four decades on Heswall's Dawstone Road, drivers and a motorcyclist reported a seven-foot horned figure that seized their vehicles and threw them into the sandstone wall.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/DawstoneDemonREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2en5ubwwFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Dawstone Road is where some say the veil between our reality and the unknown is thin. A motorist's brush with death in 1961 sparked a chain of inexplicable events. From encounters with horned entities to unexplained accidents, the road holds secrets that seem to defy rational explanation. (The Demon of Dawstone Road) *** There is a dark history and supernatural secrets at the Manila Film Center. Built as a symbol of power and prestige during the Marcos regime, its construction was rushed, resulting in a catastrophic collapse that claimed numerous lives. But the horror didn't end there. Stories of hauntings, spectral hands reaching out, and cries for help still echo through its halls. (Horrors At Manila Film Center) *** When 19-year-old Kenneka Jenkins vanished during a hotel party, it sparked a viral whirlwind of speculation and suspicion. Despite authorities ruling her death an accident, questions lingered – as they should, seeing as her body was found in the hotel freezer. (Frozen Corpse at Crown Plaza) *** For over a century, these ghostly orbs have captivated and spooked travelers in Queensland, Australia. Are they supernatural spirits or mere mirages?

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: April 15, 2024This episode of Weird Darkness travels from a haunted stretch of English road and a tower built on dead workers to a teenager found frozen in a hotel kitchen, a century of phantom lights in the Australian Outback, and an 18th-century medical practice involving tobacco and a part of the body it had no business near.It opens on Dawstone Road in Heswall, where a Neston motorist crashed through a six-foot sandstone wall in the winter of 1961 and later told a surgeon at Clatterbridge Hospital that a horrible devil had pushed his car sideways, despite no alcohol in his blood. That March, a 23-year-old Wallasey man named Rory was thrown from his motorbike at the Baskervyle Road junction by a seven-foot horned figure that seized his handlebars, and he woke to a face with pointed ears and luminous eyes muttering about the pit. The road's reputation reaches back to November 1934, when a posse hunted a demonic creature that a wealthy mansion owner blamed on his escaped bulldog, an explanation a local policeman rejected by asking how a broad bulldog squeezed through iron gate bars. The pattern continued through a stalled Hillman Imp shoved backwards in 1969 and a nurse's 1978 sighting of a horned man in black standing beside a ten-foot hole that glowed red and echoed with screaming.From there the episode moves to the Manila Film Center, the cinema palace Imelda Marcos rushed to completion for the first Manila International Film Festival in January 1982, where part of the structure collapsed on November 17, 1981 and buried workers in wet cement during a 24-hour construction schedule. Eyewitness Nena Benigno described seeing men carried out frozen in cement that had not fully hardened, while official counts from the Marcos regime claimed only a handful of deaths against outside estimates ranging as high as 169. Architect Froilan Hong put the toll at seven and denied the burial stories, yet legends persisted that the dead were entombed in the walls, and a medium reportedly brought in by Imelda Marcos to exorcise the building announced during a trance that the spirits now numbered 169 after the road death of project supervisor Betty Benitez.Next comes the death of 19-year-old Kenneka Jenkins, found face-down in a walk-in freezer at the Crowne Plaza Chicago O'Hare in Rosemont on the morning of September 11, 2017, nearly a full day after security footage caught her stumbling through the hotel and entering an unused kitchen. The Cook County Medical Examiner ruled the death an accident from hypothermia, with a blood-alcohol level of 0.112 and epilepsy medication cited as contributing factors, but her mother Teresa Martin questioned how a teenager could open the freezer's heavy steel doors and filed a $50 million lawsuit against the hotel. Viral speculation drew comparisons to the 2013 death of Elisa Lam at the Cecil Hotel, fueled by footage in which background music was mistaken for a cry of help and an anonymous tip claiming a gang had killed her for $200.The episode then crosses to the Outback near Boulia in Queensland, where Min Min lights have trailed travelers since Europeans first documented them in 1838, hovering about three feet off the ground, changing color, and following people on foot, on horseback, and in cars. A stockman riding past the burned ruins of the Min Min Hotel reported a glow the size of a watermelon that chased him to the edge of town, and Arrernte elder Mavis Malbunka tied the lights to a Dreamtime story of a mother searching for a child fallen from the Milky Way. University of Queensland physiologist Jack Pettigrew traced the phenomenon to a Fata Morgana, an optical illusion in which warm air over cold bends light from sources hundreds of kilometers beyond the horizon, a finding he published in 2003 after recreating the effect with car headlights ten kilometers away.The episode closes on the tobacco enema, the 18th-century practice of blowing smoke into a patient's rectum to revive the drowned, with resuscitation kits hung near English waterways for emergency use. Nicholas Culpeper adapted the method from Native American medicine and Richard Mead carried it forward, and an early 1746 account credits a husband with reviving his apparently drowned wife by inserting a pipe stem and puffing smoke through it. Nicotine absorbed this way could raise a patient's heart rate, which gave the treatment a plausible mechanism, and the 1774 Institution for Affording Immediate Relief to Persons Apparently Dead from Drowning built its work around it before being renamed the Royal Humane Society, which still operates in England today.

The Sacramento County Board of Supervisors meeting on June 9, 2026, covered a wide range of topics, including public health updates, significant policy changes regarding behavioral health and homelessness, and new regulations for animal keeping. Community and Public Health Presentations The meeting began with an adoptable pet update, featuring a six-month-old dog named Penelope Le Piu from the Bradshaw Animal Shelter. The shelter reported a successful "California Adopt a Pet Day," with 68 pets adopted in a single day. The Sacramento-Yolo Mosquito and Vector Control District provided its annual presentation, emphasizing the management of West Nile Virus. Manager Gary Goodman highlighted the use of the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT), which involves releasing male mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia bacteria to reduce the population; this program is expanding to 120 acres in the Rosemont area this year. Additionally, the department promoted Family Health and Fitness Day (the second Saturday in June), which includes activities such as nature walks, yoga, and trail accessibility equipment demonstrations. Public Comment Highlights Wesley Trummel praised the Parks and Recreation commissioners but urged the Board to protect the park system's budget during upcoming deliberations. Darryl Turrell, a Riverside County resident, advocated for an ordinance to curb catalytic converter theft, proposing a "one and you're done" policy to hold thieves accountable. Edrick Brown shared his personal journey of rehabilitation after a 23-year prison sentence and introduced "Public Bridge," a program aimed at "rewiring" youth to prevent them from entering the justice system. Behavioral Health and Homelessness A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to the Behavioral Health Services Act (BHSA) Integrated Plan for FY 2026-29. This new plan, mandated by Proposition 1, shifts prevention funding to the state and requires the county to allocate 30% of its BHSA funds to housing interventions. The Board discussed the "sunsetting" of several local programs to meet these new funding requirements, though they committed to a temporary contract with WellSpace to maintain the 988 suicide prevention line until state funding is clarified. The 2026 Homeless Point-in-Time (PIT) Count results sparked intense debate. While the county saw an overall 13% increase in homelessness, the unincorporated area experienced a 130% increase. Board members expressed deep frustration with the "slow pace" of county action and the perceived failure of current strategies. Chair Rodriguez explicitly called for a change in leadership and a forensic audit of homeless spending, stating that the county lacks a clear vision and a sense of urgency. Ordinances and Public Safety Crowing Fowl Ordinance: The Board introduced amendments to regulate roosters in urban and suburban areas. Prompted by over 800 complaints regarding noise and inhumane conditions like tethering, the new rules set maximum limits based on lot size and include a registration process for legitimate hobbyists. Music Festival Agreement: The Board approved a 10-year agreement with Danny Wimmer Presents to keep major music festivals like Aftershock and Golden Sky at Discovery Park. Tourism and hotel representatives testified that these events generate millions in economic impact and significant hotel tax revenue. Military Equipment (AB 481): The Sheriff's Office, District Attorney, Probation, and Park Rangers presented their annual military equipment reports. The Sheriff's Office requested authorization to eventually replace its 2008 Bearcat armored vehicle, which has reached the end of its 20-year lifespan. Public Meeting Disruptions: In compliance with SB 707, the Board adopted new procedures for handling service disruptions during remote public participation, including a mandatory one-hour minimum recess if the telephonic or audio-visual systems fail. Administrative and Closing Matters The Board approved several consent items, including a $10 million amendment for architectural services at the Sacramento International Airport due to unforeseen underground conditions and FAA line-of-sight issues. The meeting concluded with a reminder of the county's illegal fireworks campaign, featuring increased fees and a 311 reporting system, and an adjournment in honor of Joaquin Razzo, a dedicated community volunteer and singer.  

PHP Podcast – June 4, 2026 Hosts: Eric Van Johnson & John Congdon Another fun episode of the PHP Podcast! Here’s what we covered: PHP Tek 2027 — New Dates, Bold New Format Mark your calendars: PHP Tek 2027 is happening April 27–29 in Chicago, and Eric and John are shaking things up. Rather than a straight three-day PHP conference, next year gets three tracks — two of which are familiar PHP-focused content, and a third specialty track that rotates each day: one day of JavaScript, one day of DevOps, and one day of Laravel. The Laravel track is specifically focused on how developers actually use the framework day-to-day, not a product pitch. Single-day passes will be available, so if you’re only coming for the DevOps or JS day, you’re covered. One important heads-up: there’s a big convention happening at a venue nearby in Rosemont, so the hotel block could sell out faster than usual. When they open reservations, don’t wait. Holly the Elephant Is Going Fast The PHP Architect conference elephant, named Holly, is now available at store.phparch.com, and demand has been remarkable. Eric woke up one morning to a flood of orders and genuinely couldn’t figure out what happened. The warning from last year applies here: people said they’d grab Tony later, and now Tony is gone forever. Holly ships June 17th for most orders, but if you’ve already ordered, it’s likely on its way. Get yours while you can. PHP Tek TV Is Doing Something Different This Year In past years, conference talk videos would get edited and uploaded weeks (or months) after the event. This year, John is doing things differently: the raw, unedited recordings are going up now, with timestamps in the description so you can jump straight to specific talks — some rooms recorded a seven-hour continuous feed and just left it running. The clean edited versions are still coming (a video editor friend in the UK is on it), but if you want to see a talk right now, the raw version is there. Audio quality varies by room, but it’s watchable. Immich — A Self-Hosted Google Photos That Actually Works John has been running Immich, a self-hosted photo management platform, in a Docker container for about a month and loves it. It does facial recognition, GPS tagging, and auto-uploads from his phone — essentially everything he cares about in Google Photos, without handing his photos to Google or Apple. He’s now planning to use it as the PHP Architect conference photo library, centralizing all the Tech photos in one browsable, shareable place. It’s fully open source, with no licensing cost, and an optional donation tier. If you’re sick of paying ever-increasing storage bills to big tech companies, this is worth a look. Ben Ramsey’s PHP Tek Homecoming Article Is Free to Read The May issue of PHP Architect magazine is now available to digital subscribers, and this month’s free article is Ben Ramsey’s piece on the PHP Tek homecoming experience. Eric reached out to Ben last minute and he delivered. If you’ve never subscribed, this is a low-barrier way to see what the magazine is like. Head to phparch.com, grab the free article, and if you like what you see, subscriptions are not expensive. John Is Resurrecting a Legacy Laravel App — With Claude’s Help John has been grinding away on a Laravel 6 app that was a passion project years ago and has now been revived as an actual client project. Using Claude to methodically baby-step through each version upgrade — starting with writing tests to establish a baseline — he’s worked up through the major Laravel versions. The turning point came when he hit the version where the old event sourcing package (Prooph) was clearly on its way out, and the decision was made to migrate to Verbs, Nuno Maduro’s Laravel-native event sourcing package. John’s now looking forward to it. He’s also accidentally been burning tokens on the company Anthropic account (not his personal account), which Eric caught live on air. They are going to talk about it after the show. Eric’s Mystery Side Project Is Almost Ready — If DNS Would Cooperate Eric teased a new side project last week and intended to reveal it this week, but he’s stuck waiting on DNS propagation. The domain was registered with DigitalOcean DNS already in use by a previous owner, so Eric moved it to Cloudflare — only to discover there may be a conflict because the previous owner was also on Cloudflare. The result: the name servers are stuck on old values. John’s live suggestion was to move it to Route 53, and Eric was immediately sold. The project is almost ready to show the world, DNS gods willing. Meta’s AI Support Bot Got Socially Engineered Eric shared a video demonstrating how someone prompt-injected Meta’s AI customer support bot into sending a verification code to an attacker-controlled email address — and then using that code to add the email to an account, enabling a full password reset and account takeover. The irony: Meta is the company behind Llama and has some of the deepest AI expertise on the planet, and they still shipped a support bot with permissions it shouldn’t have. Eric’s point was pointed: you can fire a human employee who gets social engineered, which creates accountability throughout the team. An AI has no such incentive structure. Crowbarring AI into account-modification workflows without appropriate guardrails is just asking for this. The PHP Foundation Now Publishes Board Meeting Minutes Eric discovered that the PHP Foundation has started publishing their board meeting minutes in a public GitHub repository. Nothing earth-shattering yet, but seeing who attended, what was discussed, and what decisions are being made gives the community a real window into how the foundation operates at scale. It also helps explain something Eric and John have always found interesting: why PHP stalled so hard between versions 5 and 7. There was no foundation, no financial backing, just volunteer hours. Now there’s a paid staff and governance structure — and the minutes show exactly how complex running something at PHP’s scale actually is. The PHP Foundation Has a Dedicated Security Team Now Speaking of the Foundation, it now has a dedicated security team — a sign of how seriously the supply chain attack problem has gotten. AI tools are being deployed by black hat actors to find vulnerabilities in open source projects at a scale that wasn’t possible before. PHP is not just another open source project; it underpins a massive slice of the web, and companies depend on it staying secure. Having a team specifically focused on this is the right call, even if it’s a sobering reminder of where the threat landscape is heading. Moat — Nuno’s GitHub Security Auditing Tool Nuno Maduro (of Laravel fame) quietly shipped a tool called Moat that audits your GitHub presence for security gaps. Install it globally via Brew or Composer, point it at your GitHub org, a specific repo, or even a specific branch, and it gives you a report on where your security posture could be improved. It’s read-only — it won’t change anything — and it’s explicit that it is not a security certification. Eric wants to use it to audit the PHP Architect organization’s repos, many of which haven’t been touched in years. Think of it as a fast, opinionated triage tool, not a replacement for a real security audit.

How can we bring a 4,500-year-old wonder of the world to life and allow millions to experience it? In this episode, we speak with Peter Der Manuelian, Harvard Egyptologist and Director of the Giza Project, and Fabien Barati, CEO and co-founder of Excurio, about their groundbreaking collaboration to recreate the Great Pyramid of Giza using cutting-edge virtual reality and rigorous archaeological research. Drawing from decades of excavation records, architectural studies, and historical data, Peter and his team provided the scientific foundation for the project, ensuring the virtual pyramid is based on the most accurate, up-to-date evidence. Fabien and the Excurio team then translated this research into a fully immersive VR experience, allowing users to virtually explore the Giza Plateau, enter the Great Pyramid, and witness the daily life of ancient Egypt, including the funerary rites of Pharaoh Khufu. In this conversation, we dive into: How the Giza Project's data was transformed into a walk-through virtual reality experience of the Great Pyramid. Why historical accuracy is essential in virtual archaeology and cultural heritage preservation. What muon tomography reveals about hidden chambers inside the Great Pyramid. How virtual reality can balance preservation with global accessibility to heritage sites. The future of immersive expeditions and the role of digital archaeology in education and preservation. With over one million visitors globally, Horizon of Khufu has become a trailblazer in "edutainment," providing global audiences access to fragile, inaccessible sites while ensuring their preservation. Ready to discover how this innovative project is reshaping our understanding of ancient Egypt? Tune in now!
