John talks about a Senate vote failing as the clock continues to tick down on DHS funding. A partial shutdown looms unless Republicans can meet the Dem demands. He also discusses Thom Homan who says the immigration crackdown on Minnesota is over, for now, and he and his goons believe they have left the place whiter than they found it. Then, he interviews Dan Flores who is the A. B. Hammond Professor Emeritus of Western History at the University of Montana and the author of eleven books on aspects of American history. They discuss his new book Coyote America which traces both the five-million-year-long biological story of coyotes, as well as their cultural evolution from preeminence in Native American religions to haplessness before the Road Runner. A deeply American tale, the story of the coyote in the American West and then across the entire country is a sort of Manifest Destiny in reverse, with a pioneering hero whose career holds up an uncanny mirror to the successes and failures of American expansionism. Then, John welcomes Stuart Delony. He is a writer and podcaster whose work examines faith, power, and the cultural consequences of certainty. A former pastor, he is the host of the Snarky Faith podcast and a columnist focused on American Christianity, politics, and end-times theology. John discusses his new book The Tribulation Survival Guide is for exvangelicals, spiritual misfits, and connoisseurs of dark humor. This isn't your typical devotional—it's a survivalist satire for anyone who's ever questioned faith, feared the Beast, or accidentally attended a prophecy conference. Delivered with the solemnity of a Cold War safety pamphlet and the wit of a burned-out prophet, this deadpan, government-grade field manual offers step-by-step guidance for navigating the world's most awkward apocalypse. Whether you've been left behind by the Rapture—or just by organized religion—you'll find something disturbingly familiar in its pages. From decoding Antichrist branding strategies to surviving plagues, televangelists, and HOA-controlled hellscapes, this guide blends biting satire with faux-instructional sincerity. Inside you'll find checklists, diagnostic quizzes, heavenly bureaucracy hacks, and DIY hell décor tips (lava optional)—all designed to help you stay alive, or at least mildly amused, through the end of all things.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, we explore real experiences that went far beyond “spiritual healing”: encounters with predatory spirits, looping insanity, shapeshifting shamans, and the terrifying aftermath that left people questioning their sanity, their safety, and their place in the world. These aren't your typical retreat stories. These are the ones nobody wants to talk about.From clown phobia turned hellscape to Tetris-brain thought loops, Tim Burton creatures crawling from the void, and a chilling cultural warning about who Ayahuasca may truly be meant for—these firsthand accounts paint a picture of a medicine that can heal… or completely unravel you.

What happens when motherhood unfolds thousands of miles from home without your village, your culture, or your familiar rhythms of life?In this honest, globally rich conversation, I sit down with Rosamaria Mancini, an Italian-American mother, author, and expat who shares her journey from growing up in New York to building a life across Europe. In a life of moving to Rome for work, marrying her Italian husband, and later raising two children in Germany, Rosamaria found herself wrestling with loneliness, identity shifts, and the emotional weight of motherhood abroad.During one of her most isolating seasons, podcasts became an unexpected lifeline, offering connection, companionship, and a reminder she wasn't alone. That experience ultimately inspired her to write a book exploring how listening to podcasts helped preserve her mental health and sense of self while living far from home.This episode is an engaging listen for expat moms, military spouses, mothers navigating isolation, and anyone who has ever felt unseen during a vulnerable season of motherhood.In This Episode, We Discuss:What it's really like raising children as an expat motherThe loneliness and identity loss many moms experience living abroadCreating emotional connection when your support system is far awayTurning personal survival into a story that helps other mothers feel less aloneWho This Episode Is For:Expat and internationally living mothersMoms navigating loneliness, isolation, or major life transitionsWomen searching for connection while raising children far from familyPodcast lovers curious about the emotional power of audio storytellingRosamaria's story is a reminder that even in the quietest, loneliest moments of motherhood, connection is possible and sometimes it arrives through a pair of headphones when you need it most!

To hear more, visit smokeempodcast.substack.com“I had started out determined to learn about Amanda, but as more people contacted me wanting to talk, it was Jason they wished to talk about.” - from To the Bridge, A True Story of Motherhood and Murder*This 7th installment of “The Sociopaths Among Us” is about the person who put me I mind to do the series in the first place. His name is Jason Smith, and he is the father of the two children his estranged wife, Amanda Stott-Smith, dropped from Portland's Sellwood Bridge shortly after 1am on May 23, 2009. Amanda was arrested later that same day, a story I partially tell you in the audio (and fully in the book).Walking into a story like this, one knows nothing other than one's own and others' preconceived notions. In the case of a mother who kills a child, these notions run from evil to crazy and not much more. Neither answered for me why Amanda did what she did.It can also be the case, in stories like this, that the real story, or stories, reveal themselves slowly. You can charge directly at it all you like and you are not going to get it. But if you wait, and you listen…In the audio you will hear how people started coming to me with stories about Jason Smith, he was not the man he presented himself to be, they said; that he was very, very good at what he did, and what he did was practice deception.“He could sell ice to an Eskimo, he could sell you the dream,” I was told by the man who'd thought of Jason as his best friend, a thought the man had, by the time he called me, been thoroughly disabused of. I have written before of the sociopath's terrific and terrible talent of being able make you feel as though you ‘get' him as others do not. They spin webs of so, so, so many, lies that eventually catch up with them. They do not register the damage they leave in their wake, or not as something they should care about, and by the time people realize what has happened, the sociopath is onto the next person or situation from which he can gain sustenance. From To the Bridge:“We become grist for the sociopath's mill, in other words; we become his fuel. Dr. Hervey Cleckley, in his seminal work on the psychopathic personality, The Mask of Sanity, posited that what sociopaths lack is ‘soul quality.' Another work I came across called sociopaths “soul eaters of Psychophagic.' Reading this, I pictured Goya's painting Saturn Devouring His Son and considered the idea that sociopaths must feed on others because they lack souls of their own.”Consider what this consumption can do to others.I can understand someone wondering right about now why I do not have more sympathy for Jason Smith, who after all lost his four-year son. Read on… * To the Bridge is a"Kindle Exclusive Deal" this month. If you grab it, let me know what you think.

Welcome to the RPGBOT.Podcast, where today's character creation lesson begins with basic geometry, escalates into psychic powers, and somehow ends with a pacifist circus bear being seriously considered as a build option. In this episode, we take the gloves off and actually make characters for Pulp Cthulhu—choosing archetypes, rolling stats, hoarding skill points like goblins, and discovering that if you roll too well, you might accidentally invent the world's first telepathic himbo artist. If you've ever wondered how Call of Cthulhu character creation becomes fast, fun, and dangerously powerful, this is where the pulp really starts to flow. The D8 goes in the D8 hole. Show Notes This episode walks step-by-step through Pulp Cthulhu character creation, showing how investigators are built to be tougher, broader, and far more cinematic than their classic Call of Cthulhu counterparts. Ash guides Tyler and Randall through the full process—then breaks it down into a Quick & Dirty method that can get players to the table in minutes. Step 1: Choose an Archetype Archetypes replace traditional "classes" and are rooted in classic pulp fiction roles: Mystic (psychic powers, occult insight, vibes) Egghead (engineers, scientists, gadgeteers) Two-Fisted, Swashbuckler, Femme Fatale, Bon Vivant, and more Each archetype: Defines a core characteristic Grants bonus archetype skills Suggests traits, occupations, and story hooks This approach encourages concept-first design, letting the character idea drive the mechanics instead of the other way around. Step 2: Generate Characteristics Attributes are rolled using the familiar D100 roll-under system, but with a key twist: Core characteristic = 1d6 + 13 × 5 (expect very high numbers) Other stats use 3d6×5 or 2d6+6×5 High pulp means exceptional competence The result? Characters who feel powerful immediately—sometimes too powerful, leading to delightful accidents like rolling: Incredible Power Solid looks Questionable intelligence (Yes, the "himbo build" is real.) Step 3: Talents (High Pulp Edition) Because this game is running High Pulp, characters receive four talents instead of two. Talents are drawn from four categories: Physical Mental Combat Miscellaneous Highlights from the episode include: Psychic Powers Arcane Insight Weird Science Animal Companion (responsibly downgraded from "bear" to "bear-adjacent dog") Talents dramatically define how characters play and reinforce pulp action over fragile realism. Step 4: Occupation & Skill Points Occupations grant massive skill point pools, often hundreds of points: Skills start with base percentages Occupational skills come first Archetype skills add another 100 points Personal interest skills add even more The result is wide, competent characters instead of hyper-specialized glass cannons. The episode includes practical advice: Avoid pushing every skill to 95 Aim for flexibility, not just peak numbers Remember Credit Rating is mandatory and matters in play Step 5: Backstory (Fast but Meaningful) Instead of long essays, Pulp Cthulhu uses structured prompts: Personal description (biased, first-person) Ideology and beliefs Significant people Treasured possessions Traits Random tables spark instant character hooks, like: Idolizing Nikola Tesla Carrying calipers as a grounding object Shared trauma bonds Risk-taking or unreliable personalities One key backstory element becomes your Sanity anchor, helping characters recover from mental trauma. Quick & Dirty Character Creation Ash closes the episode with a streamlined alternative: Assign preset stat values Pick talents Select skills from fixed arrays Roll backstory details Start playing immediately Perfect for one-shots, convention play, or groups eager to punch cultists now, not in two hours. Key Takeaways Pulp Cthulhu character creation is fast, flexible, and cinematic Archetypes replace classes with strong narrative identity High Pulp characters start powerful and stay relevant Talents are the heart of customization Skill points are plentiful—breadth is rewarded Structured backstory tools create instant roleplay hooks The Quick & Dirty method gets you playing in minutes Yes, you can accidentally build a psychic himbo—and that's a feature Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

Two topics for John today. First - a federal judge put DHS's plans to target Haitian immigrants in Ohio on hold, ruling their Temporary Protected Status is good for another 6 months. Second - A testy Trump snapped at CNN's Kaitlin Collins when asked about Jeffrey Epstein's survivors who are upset their faces and names were left unredacted in the Friday file dump, he tells Collins she needs to “smile more”. Then, he interviews Kelly Dietrich who is founder and CEO of the National Democratic Training Committee (NDTC), with decades of experience on the campaign trail with candidates. Kelly's expertise in fundraising and staff training have shaped NDTC into an industry leader in Democratic politics. Heading into midterms, this year will indeed be one battle after another, and electoral wins have become both urgent and necessary. Kelly explain how candidates can meet this alarming moment and choose what potential impact they could have on the crucial midterms. Then finally, John jokes with Comedy Daddy AKA Keith Price and they chat with listeners about ICE getting chipped away and Trump getting outed in the recent Epstein file dump.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's been 365 days (and counting) since Inauguration Day. In that time, queer and trans people's lives have been disrupted through extensive federal orders mandating the end of life-saving research, disruptions to medical care access, sinister soundbites about our mental health and viability as humans, and the reinvention of reality according to the far-right. This multi-episode overview of key moments over the last year provide somber reminders of what we've already been through and rally cries for queer and trans people to lean into lessons already learned to fight back against the faulty idea that you can executive order a community out of existence. Part one covers January 2025 - March 2025, including the earliest swarm of executive orders, the impacts on education, and personal revelations about media, journalism, and storytelling.

He offered amendments to rein in spending, give the president flexibility, and block billions flowing overseas. Both parties shut it down.$3.3 billion to Israel, more to Egypt and Jordan, and hundreds of millions for bureaucratic nonsense—all added to the debt and put on our kids' credit card. Massey stood up for taxpayers. The establishment made sure he lost.

Synthetic data is moving from a niche concept to a practical tool for shipping AI in the real world. In this episode, Amit Shivpuja, Director of Data Product and AI Enablement at Walmart, breaks down where synthetic data actually helps, where it can quietly hurt you, and how to think about it like a data leader, not a demo builder.We dig into what blocks AI from reaching production, how regulated industries end up with an unfair advantage, and the simple test that tells you whether synthetic data belongs anywhere near a decision making system.Key Takeaways• AI success still lives or dies on data quality, trust, and traceability, not model hype. • Synthetic data is best for exploration, stress testing, and prototyping, but it should not be the backbone of high stakes decisions. • If you cannot explain how an output was produced, synthetic only pipelines become a risk multiplier fast. • Regulated industries often move faster with AI because their data standards, definitions, and documentation are already disciplined. • The smartest teams plan data early in the product requirements phase, including whether they need synthetic data, third party data, or better metadata. Timestamped Highlights00:01 The real blockers to getting AI into production, data, culture, and unrealistic scale assumptions 03:40 The satellite launch pad analogy, why data is the enabling infrastructure for every serious AI effort 07:52 Regulated vs unregulated industries, why structure and standards can become a hidden advantage 10:47 A clean definition of synthetic data, what it is, and what it is not 16:56 The “explainability” yardstick, when synthetic data is reasonable and when it is a red flag 19:57 When to think about data in stakeholder conversations, why data literacy matters before the build starts A line worth sharing“AI is like launching satellites. Data is the launch pad.” Pro Tips for tech leaders shipping AI• Start data discovery at the same time you write product requirements, not after the prototype works• Use synthetic data early, then set milestones to shift weight toward real world data as you approach production • Sanity check the solution, sometimes a report, an email, or a deterministic workflow beats an AI system Call to ActionIf this episode helped you think more clearly about data strategy and AI delivery, follow the show on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and share it with a builder or leader who is trying to get AI out of pilot mode.

Sanity might be breaking through with a successful lawsuit against the butchers who engage in trans-surgeries. Plus, Spanish communist's think dogs need to be killed so they can import more Muslims to Spain.

Many candidates forget to sanity-check their calculations in a case. That is a bad idea. Without a sanity-check there is no way to meaningfully assess the accuracy of your answer. More important, how you perform the sanity check is the key. All sanity-checks must involve the reduction of the answer to a number that you can intuitively compare to your own experiences. Unless you do this, you can never defend your answer.   Here are some free gifts for you: Overall Approach Used in Well-Managed Strategy Studies free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/OverallApproach   McKinsey & BCG winning resume free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/resumepdf   Enjoying this episode?

A conversation with Jay Michaelson, our Teacher of the Month for February, about his path to meditation, navigating multiple identities, and why he calls himself a "cynical, sarcastic bitch." Jay Michaelson is a meditation teacher, journalist, rabbi, and author. In this conversation with executive producer DJ Cashmere, Jay gets candid about his unconventional path into meditation—driven initially by greed for mystical experiences rather than a desire to reduce suffering—and how his practice has evolved over 25 years. We talk about: Why Jay identifies as a "greed type" in Buddhist psychology (and what that means) How to balance worldly activism with contemplative practice without getting "hollowed out" The concept of creating a "permission structure" to live the life you actually want That moment of spaciousness between stimulus and response (and how it saved Jay when he got heckled during LGBTQ activism) Whether meditation can help save humanity—and why Jay is both cynical and hopeful about this How neurotic Jay still is after 25 years of practice (spoiler: he's less reactive, but still neurotic) "Micro-moments" of awareness—five-second practices for people who can't go on long retreats Jay's guided meditations and live sangha sessions are available throughout February in the 10% Happier app. You can also find him at jaymichaelson.substack.com, where he writes Both/And, a newsletter about the intersection of spirituality, meditation, and politics.   Join Dan's online community here Follow Dan on social: Instagram, TikTok Subscribe to our YouTube Channel   To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/10HappierwithDanHarris  

In this episode - Simon Moya Smith, and Julie Francella, talk with John about the resurgence of the American Indian Movement (AIM) in Minneapolis, drawing striking parallels between historical and contemporary struggles faced by Indigenous communities.Simon and Julie emphasized the importance of understanding that the fight for Indigenous rights is not merely a relic of the past, but a living, breathing movement that continues to evolve. They pointed out that the emergence of social media has changed the landscape of activism, allowing Indigenous voices to share their stories and experiences in real-time, bypassing traditional media channels that historically marginalized their narratives.The discussion also delved into the impacts of colonization on Indigenous identity and the ongoing trauma that Indigenous people face. Julie highlighted the psychological effects of racial profiling and the necessity for Indigenous youth to constantly prove their identity to authorities that often fail to recognize their sovereignty.One of the most poignant moments in the episode came when Simon remarked, "For Indigenous people, it has been about protecting our community and life." This statement encapsulates the essence of the American Indian Movement's mission, which has always been about safeguarding not just Indigenous lives, but the entire community.As the conversation unfolded, both Simon and Julie expressed their hope for a future where understanding and respect for Indigenous history and rights are paramount. They called on listeners to recognize that "nobody's illegal on stolen land," challenging the prevailing narratives that often ignore the historical context of Indigenous peoples' presence on their ancestral lands.The episode culminated in a powerful reminder that the fight for justice is ongoing and that each generation has a role to play in advocating for the rights of Indigenous peoples. As Simon aptly put it, "The more things change, the more they stay the same." This sentiment resonates deeply in a world where the struggles of the past continue to echo into the present.For anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of Indigenous issues and the complexities of identity, this episode is a must-listen. Simon and Julie's insights provide a valuable perspective on the importance of community, activism, and the enduring legacy of the American Indian Movement.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
