We're back — maybe getting a little too scheduled — with one opinion on the docket: West Virginia v. B.P.J. and Little v. Hecox, where the Court held that states may limit girls' and women's sports teams to biological sex without violation Equal Protection or Title IX. First, though, Will collects on a two-year-old prediction when the Court grants Jouppi v. Alaska, an Institute for Justice case about a five-figure airplane forfeited over a six-pack of beer. On the main event, we work through how the opinions are written (no pronouns, no "Lindsay"), what the litigants' Title IX concession did to the case, and whether there is any such thing as an as-applied equal protection challenge. Will makes a big-swing prediction about transgender status and heightened scrutiny, and we ask whether the Court's reasoning can be squared with VMI and the anti-stereotyping cases. Along the way: fencepost problems, Magneto's powers, Magic: The Gathering's crossover-IP wars, scrawny men, and Justice Kavanaugh's ode to the championship trophy.Highlights[00:00:21] Opening: continuing the roll, "starting to get a little scheduled," and record-setting season ambitions[00:02:05] Summer interim-docket check-in: a new SG filing on mail-in voting; still no rehearing petition in the birthright-citizenship case[00:03:23] Filing-day counting and the classic fencepost problem[00:04:50] Will doesn't condone violence, Dan; UFC, violent video games, and Dungeons & Dragons[00:07:46] The prediction workflow pays off: Will called the IJ excessive-fines cert push back in May 2024 (Culley)[00:08:05] Cert granted in Jouppi v.

「広島GK大迫敬介、ユニオンSG移籍消滅へ！「リスト入りも…」神戸・日本代表OB元同僚の獲得優先か」　　サンフレッチェ広島は30日、日本代表GK大迫敬介のチーム離脱を公式発表。海外クラブへの移籍を前提とした手続きと準備を進めているが、MF三笘薫（ブライトン）の古巣であるベルギー1部ユニオンSGには加入しない見込みだ。　ユニオンSGの補強を巡っては、ベルギー『HBVL』が30日に「エルヴェ・コフィがユニオンの新戦力となる可能性が高まっている」とリポート。これによると、ブルキナファソ代表GKのコフィは30日に現地入り。クラブ施設で目撃されているが、リーグアン所属ランスから期限付き移籍により獲得することで合意に達しているという。　現在29歳のコフィは、2021年夏から3シーズンにわたりシャルルロワに在籍。ヴィッセル神戸・日本代表OB森岡亮太氏とチームメイトだったが、ベルギー1部リーグ戦では通算114試合の出場で29度のクリーンシートを達成している。　一方で『HBVL』は「日本代表GK大迫敬介もユニオンの獲得候補リストに入っていることが、30日に明らかになった。しかし、獲得には至らない見通しとなっている」とリポート。日本国内ではユニオンSG移籍が既定路線との報道が飛び交っているが、同クラブ加入の可能性は消滅したとみられる。　日本代表DF町田浩樹の古巣でもあり、昨季も2位と優勝争いを繰り広げたユニオンSG。正守護神のキエル・スヘルペンが、プレミアリーグ昇格組のイプスウィッチ・タウンへ完全移籍しただけに、後釜確保を急いでいたが、ベルギー1部リーグでのプレー経験が豊富なコフィの獲得を優先した可能性が考えられる。

Hello and welcome everybody. This is E 767 of Startuprad.io, recorded solo by Joe Menninger from Frankfurt am Main. This is the first entry in a new series — the Unicorn Atlas. Every entry takes one European unicorn and asks who owns it, what it actually makes, whether the headline numbers hold up under primary sourcing, and what an operator, investor, or policymaker should do with the information. Unicorn Atlas number one is Helsing — Europe's most valuable pure-play defence-tech company. On July 13, 2026, Helsing closed a $1.8 billion Series E at an $18 billion post-money valuation. The lead investors are American (Dragoneer, Lightspeed). The company calls itself "predominantly European-owned." Both statements are true in ways that require some care to unpack. In this episode: The Series E in one paragraph — Dragoneer, Lightspeed, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, CPP Investments, plus the wider syndicate Reading the timeline correctly — the May 2026 "$1.2bn" report and the July 2026 close are the same event, not two rounds Reading the dilution correctly — ~10 % dilution, not the "80–85 % retained" figure some coverage carries The founders: Torsten Reil (ex-NaturalMotion), Gundbert Scherf (ex-Bundeswehr), Dr. Niklas Köhler (ex-Hellsicht) Product taxonomy: HX-2, Altra, CA-1 Europa, SG-1 Fathom The Bundeswehr framework — €1.46bn ceiling vs €270m first call-off The Ukraine proving ground and the Bloomberg operational question The Resilience Factory footprint — Munich, Plymouth, Princeton West Virginia The European supplier stack — Grob, Blue Ocean, KIRK JV, EURENCO The Neo-Prime thesis — is $18bn a floor or a wartime peak? Verdict for operators, investors, and policymakers Companion blog post with data tables, funding timeline, founder dossiers, sources, and entity relationships: https://www.startuprad.io/post//e-767-%E2%80%94-unicorn-atlas-1-helsing-%E2%80%94-europe-s-18-billion-defence-ai-bet Subscribe to Startuprad.io on your favorite podcasting app: https://linktr.ee/startupradio Partner with Startuprad.io — reach the DACH founders, VCs, and corporate strategists who show up here: https://www.startuprad.io/become-a-partner — Startuprad.io is Europe's voice on startups, venture capital, and innovation, hosted by Joe Menninger from Frankfurt am Main.

Fortune reported that Jersey Mike's is preparing an IPO that could value the chain at roughly eight times Sweetgreen's market capitalization. The comparison highlights how public markets may favor asset-light franchise models over corporate-operated concepts. Jersey Mike's, led by founder and CEO Peter Cancro, relies on franchising, while Sweetgreen, which listed in 2021 under the ticker SG, runs company-operated stores. The deal could include secondary sales that provide liquidity for insiders. Investors will watch Jersey Mike's S-1 for systemwide sales, royalty rates, unit economics, and development pipelines. A strong reception would signal support for franchised consumer brands and influence financing and expansion decisions across the sector.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Send us Fan MailIt's our last show for the season, so come and join us as we delve into the chaos of the world's news, along with a deep dive into understanding China. So, what happened this week? Well, Trump announced a 20% fee on The Straits of Hormuz and then backtracked, meanwhile Lindsay Graham died and the conspiracy theories proliferated. He wasn't the only death, with UK politician Anne Widdecombe murdered, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, known as the architect of modern Qatar dying, and of course, actor Sam Neil died unexpectedly too. Not Mitch McConnell though. Yes, he's still with us, and the conspiracy theories continue. Extreme heat continues across the Northern Hemisphere, where Europe's nuclear power plants can't beat the heat, rivers are drying up, 10,000 are officially confirmed head, and June was the hottest-ever since records began. We learned that Trump has left instructions if he's assassinated, although he's expecting a jolly good turn-out at his funeral, with the Borrowitz Report saying: Trump said that “nobody cares” about Khamenei's funeral, and that he's expecting the turnout at his funeral to set records, noting, “Every day, people say to me, ‘Sir, I can't wait for that day to come.'” Chortle. But the big news is the El Niño surge, which could cause a global food price shock lasting into 2028, and a whole lot more. This week, we are delighted to welcome Kenny Lim, who's known as The China Whisperer. Kenny has a framework called China Decoded™ and he helps boards and the C-Suite understand how Chinese companies think, compete and scale. We're going to discuss his framework, apply it beyond executive ranks, and we're also going to discuss Chinamaxxing, which is now a thing. What does it mean? Come and find out. It's going to be a fun and informative show, so hop along and join us. We'll be going live Friday, 17th July 2026, kicking off at 8am UK, 9am EU, 11am UAE, 12.30pm IN, 2pm TH, 3pm SG, 5pm AEST. Streaming across various locations, and no doubt about it, we'd love your support. The Sh*t Show is a Livestream happening every Friday, where Andrea T Edwards, Dr. David Ko, Richard Busellato and Joe Augustin, as well as special guests, discuss the world's most pressing issues across all angles of the polycrisis, working to make sense of the extremely challenging and complex times we are all going through, plus what we can do about it.

In the latest edition of the NdB Sunday Show with Chris Steyn, Lauren Evanthia, the Founder of the Organic Humanity Movement (OHM), talks about fears that the National Shutdown this week could spark unrest with African National Congress (ANC) SG Fikile Mbalula accusing former President Jacob Zuma of fuelling anti-immigrant violence: “..when we reach a point when…systems start to crumble because of government failure and the lack of ethical leadership, what happens is that society starts to take over. And it takes over in a very chaotic way because we don't have a replacement for government failure on such a large scale.” Commenting on the SG's defence of the ANC Speaker of Parliament over her handling of the Phala Phala matter, she fumes: “..people can hide behind parties...the party politics in South Africa is in my opinion the number one biggest stumbling block towards our progress as a nation”. As for tenderpreneur Cat Matlala cutting a plea deal and turning State Witness, Evanthia charges: “…these commissions of inquiry that keep on happening are just a distraction to the fact that we're not actually going for solutions in this country. Those with power are not implementing solutions.” Also on the agenda is new Democratic Alliance (DA) leader, Geordin Hill-Lewis, under fire already because Cape Town has lost its clean audit status, and the former leader of the party, John Steenhuisen, is spewing bile because he feels betrayed by his erstwhile friend.

Don't forget to like, subscribe and leave us a comment! The three of us finally get into something that's been on the calendar for a while: what actually makes a good Les Paul. Zach brings out all his Les Pauls, Rhett has his R9, and Addison shows off the 2007 Studio Faded he's had since he was 15. We talk about what to listen and feel for when you're shopping — weight, acoustic resonance, how the D and G strings behave, and why the nut is almost always the reason your Les Paul won't stay in tune. Plus PAF pickup obsession, the case for unpotted pickups, top wrapping, tone woods, and why the inconsistency of Gibsons is a feature, not a bug. Hot take this week from Nicholas: flame tops and figured maple are ugly, and matching headstocks make a guitar look cheap. We're split. Rig dip goes to Matt, who spent his life working in music stores and trading his way up to a rig that might be the most expensive we've ever seen. 1964 SG, 1957 Strat, 1964 ES-335, 1952 Telecaster, two Two-Rocks, a Friedman, and a pedal board with too much gain?

Learn how to turn complex legal services into clear, compelling marketing that actually converts. In this episode, you'll hear practical strategies for repurposing content, strengthening your online presence, and building referral relationships that consistently feed your law practice.   In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Sylvia Garibaldi discuss: Niche marketing for divorce and legal professionals Positioning, messaging, and understanding your ideal client Repurposing podcasts, webinars, and video for multi-channel marketing Why referrals aren't converting like they used to Building referral partnerships through webinars and LinkedIn   Key Takeaways: Growth comes from consistent, repeated action paired with learning and improvement, not just doing more of the same. Clear positioning and messaging are critical so referral partners and prospects instantly understand who you serve, what you do, and the results you deliver. Repurposing a single piece of content like a webinar or podcast into social posts, articles, and lead magnets is “marketing 101” and dramatically reduces the content burden. Referral conversion now depends heavily on your curated online presence, including your website, social media, podcast appearances, and especially a strong LinkedIn profile with social proof. Effective referral relationships require intention, follow-up, and the right partners; they're built over time through trust, value, and consistent communication, not one-off meetings.   "In business and life, we tend to want to have the outcome first, but in reality, it does take time, it takes doing those reps and consistency, and so for me, doing that repeatedly has helped me build that habit." —  Sylvia Garibaldi   Check out my new show, Be That Lawyer Coaches Corner, and get the strategies I use with my clients to win more business and love your career again.   Join the Be That Lawyer Community and connect with ambitious lawyers who are serious about growing their book of business, strengthening their brand, and becoming confident, consistent rainmakers.   Ready to go from good to GOAT in your legal marketing game?

Don't forget to like, subscribe and leave us a comment! All three of us are back. Rhett's finally home after five weeks on the road with The Midnight, Addison has moved back to Kansas City (into the exact same house), and Zach is mid-kitchen renovation with no internet. It's fine. Everything's fine. Hot take this week: why is basically every guitar pick the same teardrop shape? We get into pick materials, shapes, Blue Chips, the Carol Kaye felt pick thing, and the Tom Bukovac acoustic strumming trick you probably haven't tried. Then things get serious. Fender has issued cease and desist letters to boutique S-style guitar builders across the EU, demanding they stop manufacturing, recall sold instruments, and destroy infringing inventory — all by Memorial Day. We dig into what's actually happening legally, why this almost certainly won't hold up, what it says about who's really running Fender now, and why LSL has launched a GoFundMe to fight back. We also talk through the vintage guitar market losing its mind — including a 1959 ES-335 at Carter Vintage listed at $107,000 — and dip a rig from Cody in Portland, who built his own SG during COVID and put Gibson on the headstock.

Joining Michael Jaco, SG dives deep into the accelerating pace of worldwide developments and the growing signs that major shifts are unfolding behind the scenes. From escalating conflicts and military readiness to information warfare, political instability, and the increasing pressure building globally, this conversation connects dots that many people feel are being overlooked in mainstream narratives.

SG and Michael break down how rapidly changing conditions may point toward a significant transition period politically, economically, militarily, and socially. Topics include rising geopolitical tensions, military preparedness, executive security concerns, modern warfare tactics, media manipulation, and why so many people feel the world has entered a period of acceleration unlike anything seen before. Throughout the episode, SG Anon shares insights gathered from years of research into intelligence operations, global strategy, and political developments while Michael brings his own background in military operations and strategic analysis into the conversation. This is a high-energy, rapid-fire breakdown designed for listeners looking beyond surface-level headlines and seeking a deeper understanding of the bigger picture behind current world events.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 618 of the Chasing Tone Podcast -  The all new Fender agenda and will the real Josh Scott please stand up?Brian has got some things to say about AI slop following a great reaction video from Josh Scott of JHS which resulted in him surveying some fluffy junk from the dark recesses of a random YouTube channel. It's an interesting debate as the guys have strong views about the source video, its complete lack of reliable facts, and the damage it could do. Meanwhile, Blake brings up one of the hottest topics of the week - Fender's current legal positioning on the copyright of the Stratocaster body. The guys have views on it but fear that this might backfire on Fender and discuss the ramifications. Richard makes terrible analogies and spreads a lie. Brian squaremarks his radius.Richard has some interactions with a beautiful SG guitar and its famous owner, rewriting the rules. PRS have released a new special edition and the endorsee has surprised the guys a bit. There is some tongue twisting as the guys attempt to say a common guitar word.The D*ckhead fallacy, Bullshine returns, The Chasing Tone Shoehorn award, The Art of the Stombox, Pac Man...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!We are on Patreon now too!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/chasingtonepodcast)Courses and DIY mods:https://www.bluesguitarmethod.com
