SFW | Emotional Intimacy | Slowburn Trust | Android Repair Scene She comes back broken but not just in body. The repairs were supposed to make her better. Cleaner. Sharper. But what they took can't be replaced. Sixteen days gone. No warning. No goodbye. And now she's back and fumbling through corrupted memories, quiet guilt, and something that feels suspiciously like longing. Your workshop is still the only place that feels real. And your hands... They're still the only ones that know how to reach her. She doesn't sound like herself anymore. But if anyone can find her again beneath the upgrades, it's you. TW: PTSD-adjacent memory disruption, emotional numbness, medicalized self-concept, subtle trauma-coded language, societal corruption PS: Hey lovely moonkips~ Quick behind-the-scenes note! Originally, this SynthSkin installment was going to include a visual element with listener dialogue on-screen for a more interactive feel. I was experimenting with ways to make it even more immersive and give you a stronger presence in the world. But, real talk, my amazing editor is still learning some of the new tools I asked him to try for video editing something else for me, and instead of holding this story hostage while we figure it out, I decided to keep it simple and release this one in the MoonSilk immersive style we've been doing for more immersion. So if you notice it's a little different from what I hinted at before, that's why. Sometimes perfection gets in the way of presence and I'd rather share the heartbeat now than wait for polish later, and invariably get distracted by another hot storyline in the meantime - WHICH HAPPENS WAY MORE OFTEN THAN I LIKE TO ADMIT. ADHD is a helluva drug, lol.

Drew Nowlan reached out to us with a story he's never told publicly before. A lifelong outdoorsman and hunter from Ohio with a background in criminology, Drew has had close to two decades of encounters with Dog Man, a bipedal canine creature that most people have never heard of and fewer believe exists. It started with a late-night encounter at his parents' property near Norton, Ohio, where something massive jumped a four-foot fence without touching it, chased the family rooster in circles on two legs, pinned it with a hand the size of a football, and then let it go. The late researcher Linda Godfrey told Drew the chicken was bait to lure him outside. That night launched years of escalating activity at the property, including wall-shaking bangs on the house at all hours, footsteps on the roof, pack vocalizations from multiple creatures at once, and sightings by Drew's mother, stepfather, sister, niece, and neighbors. Drew's five-year-old niece, who had never heard the word werewolf, told her grandmother she wouldn't sleep upstairs anymore because "the big dog" watches her.Drew walks through encounter after encounter with the precision of someone who has spent sixteen years processing what he's seen. Brown ones, gray ones, a black one that materialized out of a bush in suburban Akron, twenty feet from him and a friend. One that followed his exact footsteps up to the back door and then walked back down the driveway. One that rode on the roof of his car for fifteen minutes after he left his parents' house. Juvenile prints on his mother's car that suggest they breed and raise young. And just a week before recording, fresh bipedal canine tracks in the snow at his new property, an hour and a half from his parents' place. Drew believes these creatures are physical, not purely demonic, noting they leave prints, eat animals, respond to firearms as deterrents, and blur with speed when they run. But he also believes there's a spiritual dimension to them, a paralyzing dread that accompanies every encounter and a fixation on fear that suggests something deeper than predatory instinct. His advice to anyone who says they want to see one: you don't. It steals a part of you. This is his first time telling his full story.

Smart Agency Masterclass with Jason Swenk: Podcast for Digital Marketing Agencies
Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Most agency owners don't fail because they're bad at delivery. They fail because they underprice, overcomplicate, and build businesses that trap them instead of freeing them. Today's featured guest unpacks the type of life he envisioned when he set out to start an agency, it took to scale from charging $2,500 a month to closing $45,000/month retainers, surviving a market collapse, and making the counterintuitive decision to split one agency into two. Eli Rubel is the founder of Matter Made, a B2B SaaS marketing agency, and No Boring Design, a premium design studio serving high-growth tech companies. He entered the agency world in 2019 after burning out on the venture-backed SaaS model, despite a previous exit. What drew him to agencies wasn't prestige or scale; it was a desire to take control over his time, lifestyle, income, and location. Agencies, when built correctly, offered the fastest path to freedom without sacrificing ambition. Over the next few years, Eli scaled MatterMade aggressively, navigated a brutal tech downturn, and rebuilt his business with sharper positioning, stronger pricing, and clearer operational boundaries. In this episode, we discussed: Why hiking prices was the right choice early one How and why he decided to create his second agency The reason that shared services failed fast Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio Sponsors and Resources E2M Solutions: Today's episode of the Smart Agency Masterclass is sponsored by E2M Solutions, a web design, and development agency that has provided white-label services for the past 10 years to agencies all over the world.

Why Agencies Beat Venture-Backed SaaS (If You Want Freedom) After years in venture-backed SaaS, chasing growth at all costs, Eli was done with a model he realized was grinding him down. The pressure, the lack of control, and the delayed payoff didn't align with what he actually wanted: family, flexibility, and financial independence. Agencies offered speed to cash and autonomy, which SaaS didn't. Instead of swinging for a hypothetical future exit, Eli chose a business model that paid well now and let him design his life intentionally. It was a shift he made with eyes wide open and clear expectations. The "best" business model depends on what you want your life to look like. For Eli, agencies weren't a step down. They were a strategic upgrade. Hiking His Prices Relying on Capacity and Confidence Eli's agency launched at $2,500 a month, not because that was the "right" price, but because he backed into a simple income goal. Sixteen clients at $2,500 got him to $40,000 a month. On paper, it worked. In reality, it broke fast. As soon as clients started saying "yes" too quickly, Eli knew something was off. The work was heavy, margins were thin, and building a team at that price point wasn't sustainable. Instead of obsessing over competitive pricing, he leaned into price sensitivity testing. Every time the team hit capacity, prices went up. If prospects said no, it didn't matter, they couldn't take on more work anyway. If prospects said yes, it justified hiring and scaling. Over three years, pricing climbed from $2,500 to $45,000 per month. What he learned was that underpricing doesn't just hurt margins. It traps you in constant hiring, delivery stress, and low-leverage work. Raising prices isn't greedy, it's operational discipline. What Actually Changes When You Raise Prices Eli didn't wake up one day and charge $45,000 for the same work he was doing at $2,500. Early on, the offering was vague: "We'll help with demand gen." Strategy was loose, scope was unclear, and the team was tiny. As pricing increased, the delivery model matured into a defined pod structure with paid media, design, strategy, and leadership baked in. However, once his agency hit around $15,000 per month, the services didn't change much after that. What changed was credibility. Case studies stacked up. Results became undeniable. Sales conversations shifted from "this is a great deal" to "this is what it costs to remove risk." Eli was upfront with prospects: MatterMade would be $10,000–$15,000 more per month than competitors, and nothing about the deliverables would look different. The difference was the track record. For buyers who weren't cash-sensitive, that pitch landed hard. They weren't paying for tasks. They were paying for certainty. Why Splitting One Agency into Two Was the Right Move At its peak in 2021, MatterMade was flying high, with $4.2M in EBITDA, tech clients everywhere, and acquisition talks underway. Then the tech market collapsed. Almost overnight, VC-backed clients cut agencies, froze spending, and hunkered down. They went from crushing it to losing nearly $200,000 a month. Eli held on too long, assuming it was temporary, and paid dearly for it. During the restructuring, Eli noticed something interesting: design had become a bottleneck across tech companies. Designers were laid off, but the need for creative work didn't disappear. So he spun up No Boring Design as a separate entity, fast. New brand, new site, launched in a weekend. Within months, it was profitable. Separating the businesses allowed each to have crystal-clear positioning. MatterMade stayed focused on growth marketing. No Boring Design became a premium creative solution for companies stuck in hiring freezes. Trying to keep design tucked inside the marketing agency would have slowed everything down. Separation created speed, clarity, and growth. Why Shared Services Across Agencies Sound Smart and Fail Fast One of Eli's biggest mistakes came after the split. He tried to create a shared management company to handle leadership, recruiting, and operations across multiple agencies. On paper, it looked efficient. In practice, it was chaos. Each agency had subtle but important differences in how it worked. SOPs drifted. Leaders got stretched thin. The "squeaky wheel" agency got attention while others suffered. Eventually, Eli unwound the entire structure. The hard truth: unless your companies operate almost identically, shared services create more friction than savings. Clarity beats efficiency.

What If Losing Everything Is the Very Thing That Leads You to Your Real Life? In this conversation with Sage Steele, I sit down with a woman who had her entire world flipped upside down in real time. Sixteen years at ESPN. A respected career. A single mom carrying the financial weight of her family. And then one moment on a podcast where she spoke her mind, and it all changed. What followed was suspension, public backlash, legal battles with The Walt Disney Company, and the kind of pressure most people only pray they never experience. But this episode is not about politics. It is about courage. It is about what happens when you are forced to choose between comfort and conviction. Sage opens up about the fear of losing everything, the weight of being the breadwinner for her kids, and the internal battle of standing up for herself after years of staying quiet. She shares what it felt like to be publicly attacked, to receive threats, to question herself in the darkest moments, and then to make a decision that changed the trajectory of her life. What moved me most was not just her resilience, but the legacy behind it. The story of her father, a West Point graduate who broke barriers and chose the “harder right” in the face of racism and rejection, will stay with you. That foundation shaped Sage more than she realized. And when she finally stood up for herself, her son looked at her and said, “Mom, it's about time you stood up for yourself.” That moment alone is worth listening to this entire episode. And here is the part I want you to hear if you are going through your own blow up right now. Sage lost her job. She walked away from the only career she had known for decades. She had no clear next step. But she surrendered control. She leaned into faith. She built her own platform. And in the middle of the uncertainty, she met the man who is now her husband in a moment that only God could orchestrate. The same pain that felt like devastation became the doorway to a new life. If you are afraid to speak up, afraid to make the change, afraid to lose what feels secure, this conversation will challenge you. Sometimes the thing you are clinging to is the very thing holding you back from the life you were meant to live. Key Takeaways: Why standing on principle can cost you everything, and still be worth it How to function and perform at a high level while your world feels like it is collapsing The difference between controlling outcomes and surrendering them How your children learn more from what you model than what you preach Why the hardest seasons of your life often become the most defining This one is about faith. It is about courage. It is about choosing the harder right. And it might just be the reminder you need that your setback is not the end of your story. Max Out.

Electricity underwrites nearly every aspect of modern life, yet decisions about power, cost, and control are increasingly opaque. New York Times energy correspondent Ivan Penn joins Mark Labberton to unpack how data centres, AI, utilities, and politics are reshaping the grid—and who ultimately bears the cost. "The real focus is who pays and who gets paid." In this episode with Mark Labberton, Penn reflects on his journey into journalism, his unexpected path into energy reporting, and how covering power revealed the economic forces shaping daily life. Together they discuss electricity as a moral and economic issue, the rise of AI-driven data centres, nuclear power's return, utilities versus tech giants, consumer vulnerability, racial inequity in journalism, and faith as a commitment to truth. –––––––––––––––– Episode Highlights "The real focus is who pays and who gets paid." "Electricity is the most important resource we have." "The utilities once the Goliath have suddenly become a David." "We wouldn't have need for any of this if you didn't build a data centre." "To be able to stop abuse with a pen is a powerful thing." –––––––––––––––– About Ivan Penn Ivan Penn is an energy correspondent for the New York Times, where he reports on electricity, utilities, nuclear power, data centres, and the economic forces shaping the energy transition. He has covered energy and utilities for more than fifteen years and has previously worked at the Los Angeles Times, Tampa Bay Times, Baltimore Sun, and Miami Herald. Penn's reporting has examined nuclear plant failures, grid reliability, climate pressures, and the growing influence of technology companies in energy markets. A longtime journalist shaped by investigative reporting, he is also attentive to issues of equity, public accountability, and consumer protection. Penn is a graduate of the University of Maryland and was the first black editor-in-chief of its student newspaper. He also holds a master's in global leadership from Fuller Theological Seminary and was a John S. Knight Fellow at Stanford University.

Into Great Silence is one of the great documentaries from an artistic point of view, and surely the best ever made on a Catholic subject. Filmmaker Philip Gröning contacted the Grande Chartreuse monastery in the French Alps in 1984, asking if he could come and film the Carthusian monks in their way of life. They responded saying that it was not yet the right time. Sixteen years later, they got back to him saying they were ready to receive him, a single cameraman with no fancy lighting or sound equipment. Gröning spent six months filming the monastery, sharing the monks' silent way of life. The film that resulted is as different from other documentaries as the Carthusian rule is from life in the world: the intent was for the film itself to become a monastery. No music, no voiceover, just (mostly) silently and slowly observing the monks' way of life, as the seductive beauty of life with God is gradually revealed underneath the austere self-denial. Catholic documentary filmmaker Manny Marquez joins the podcast to discuss Into Great Silence, as well as the documentary genre in general, and his own beautiful film Make Peace or Die, which can be viewed on PBS Passport.

February 2026 Sustainable Stock and ETF Picks. Includes an article on the most sustainable companies by sustainable revenues, and more. By Ron Robins, MBA Transcript & Links, Episode 164, February 27, 2026 Hello, Ron Robins here. Welcome to my podcast episode 164, published on February 27, 2026, titled "February 2026 Sustainable Stock and ETF Picks." This podcast is presented by Investing for the Soul. Investingforthesoul.com is your go-to site for vital global, ethical, and sustainable investing mentoring, news, commentary, information, and resources. Remember that you can find a full transcript and links to content, including stock symbols and bonus material, on this episode's podcast page at investingforthesoul.com/podcasts. Also, a reminder. I do not evaluate any of the stocks or funds mentioned in these podcasts, and I don't receive any compensation from anyone covered in these podcasts. Furthermore, I will reveal any investments I have in the investments mentioned herein. I have a huge crop of 20 articles for you in this podcast! Note: Some companies are covered more than once. Now with so many articles to potentially cover, I've chosen 3 to quote from. The other 17 can be found on the webpage for this podcast edition, along with their titles and links. ------------------------------------------------------------- Clean200 companies hit $2.8 trillion in sustainable revenues I'm starting this episode with one of my favourite rankings. It's titled the Clean200 companies hit $2.8 trillion in sustainable revenues on corporateknights.com. The introduction is by CK Staff. Here are some quotes from the introduction. "Since 2016, the shareholder-advocacy non-profit As You Sow and Corporate Knights have zeroed in on total sustainable revenues at public companies worldwide in order to show both the share and scale of sustainable revenues in absolute terms. 'The Clean200 follows revenues, not rhetoric,' Toby Heaps, CEO of Corporate Knights and report co-author, said in a statement. 'Even when politics turns hostile, markets continue to reward companies that are supplying what the global economy is structurally demanding – clean power, electrification, efficiency, and resilient infrastructure'… On average, more than half the revenue (53.7%) at Clean200 companies is sustainable… whereas companies in the MSCI All Country World Index (ACWI) generate only 16.7% of their revenue from sustainable activities… From July 1, 2016, to January 26, 2026, the Clean200 portfolio returned 282.9%, compared with 221.3% for the MSCI ACWI. The fossil fuel benchmark, meanwhile, returned a much slimmer 111%... Methodology The Clean 200 is selected from 8,229 eligible companies, of which 103 were excluded. The list employs a wide range of negative screens to exclude: for example, fossil-fired utilities or big banks and insurers financing fossil fuel companies, as well as for-profit prisons, weapons makers and others… The United States and China have 69 companies on the list between them, 41 and 28 respectively. Five years ago, the United States had 46 companies on the list, and China had 17, which suggests a subtle but marked rebalancing trend. About half the list consists of 'middle power' countries: Japan (15), France (12), Canada (11), Germany (11), Spain (8), Brazil (8), South Korea (7), Denmark (7), United Kingdom (5), Sweden (5) and India (5). Sixteen other countries share the remaining 14.5% of the list, underscoring how widely distributed the clean‑economy opportunity has become." End quotes. The top five companies are Apple Inc. (AAPL), Amazon.com Inc. (AMZM), Microsoft Corp. (MSFT), Tesla Inc. (TSLA), and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd. (C7A0.DU ). However, I suggest investors also look at the 'pure-play' companies, those with the highest sustainable revenue ratio! ------------------------------------------------------------- The Best Sustainable Funds and ETFs to Buy This second article is from one of the top investment sites and is titled The Best Sustainable Funds and ETFs to Buy on morningstar.com. It's by a well-respected analyst and writer, Leslie P. Norton. She compiled some comments from two analysts. Here are some quotes from her article. "We screened for the lowest-cost primary share classes with a Medalist Rating of Gold and 100% analyst coverage. All the funds on the list carry the ESG Intentional Investment tag and have at least $100 million in assets. All data is as of Feb. 3. Because the screen was created with the lowest-cost share class for each fund, some may be listed with share classes that are not accessible to individual investors outside of retirement plans, or they may be aimed at institutional investors and require large minimum investments. The individual investor versions of those funds may carry higher fees, reducing returns to shareholders. Medalist Ratings may differ among the share classes of a fund. Morningstar expects the highly rated sustainable funds on this list to outperform their peers over a full market cycle. But though all these funds fall under the same theme, they may practice different strategies and behave differently. Investors need to do their homework to understand exactly what a particular fund invests in before buying. 1) Boston Trust SMID Cap Fund (BTSMX) by Eric Schultz, analyst Fund Size: $746.4 million Morningstar Category: US Fund Mid-Cap Blend Morningstar Medalist Rating: Gold Prospectus Net Expense Ratio: 0.75% Morningstar assigns… a High rating to its parent company, Boston Trust Walden… The $746.4 million fund has gained 0.49% over the past year, while the average fund in its category is up 9.56%. The fund, launched in November 2011, has climbed 5.60% over the past three years and 7.63% over the past five. The managers focus on identifying strong small- and mid-cap businesses with durable and predictable earnings profiles that also have reasonable valuations… The strategy has recently trailed the Russell 2500 benchmark as the rally after early April 2025 was led by lower-quality businesses that the strategy typically avoids, as they tend to underperform higher-quality businesses over longer periods. Read Morningstar's full report on the Boston Trust SMID Cap Fund. 2) Boston Trust Walden Small Cap Fund (BOSOX) by Eric Schultz, analyst Fund Size: $1.1 billion Morningstar Category: US Fund Small Blend Morningstar Medalist Rating: Gold Prospectus Net Expense Ratio: 1.00% This $1.1 billion fund has lost 1.88% over the past year, while the average fund in its category is up 11.16%. The Boston Trust Walden fund, launched in December 2005, has climbed 4.01% over the past three years and 7.01% over the past five.

Sixteen games. Sixty-two goals. Two breathless weeks of UEFA Champions League playoff drama. Has Europe's elite competition ever been this entertaining? And with the away-goals rule gone and a new format delivering chaos, comebacks and late drama... Is this proof that the changes are good for football? On the other hand VAR is back under the spotlight too, after another hugely controversial decision involving Lloyd Kelly and Juventus. What needs to be done at the top to stop referees taking over the game? And then there's Newcastle United. It's been a monumental two years: Champions League knockout football and silverware secured for the first time in 70 years. Should Eddie Howe be receiving more credit?

#339: DNS has been around since the 1980s. Nobody's writing blog posts about how it changed their life. But every single thing on the internet depends on it -- including all those AI tools everyone's excited about. Anthony Eden has been in the DNS business since the late nineties, when he was CTO of one of the first seven domain registrars after the .com deregulation. In 2010 he started DNSimple, and he did it without a dime of venture capital. Sixteen years later, his 20-person team runs a global DNS infrastructure with 14 edge nodes and 9 origin servers spread across multiple continents. The conversation covers the mistakes companies make with their domains -- running production DNS on a registrar that was never built for it, sharing logins with no access control, zero documentation on why records exist. Anthony breaks down how DNS actually works at scale (unicast vs anycast, the onion layers of resolvers), why your email deliverability problems are probably a DNS problem, and what the www vs no-www debate looks like in 2026. On AI tools, Anthony's take is practical. They're giving his engineers more time to think about problems instead of typing out solutions. But he's not buying the vibe coding hype -- when you run critical internet infrastructure, everyone on the team needs to understand the systems they're building. And for AI startups hoping to cash out? Most will fail. The twist you put on somebody else's model won't be a moat. It'll just become a feature for something bigger.

The conch shell blew at 5 a.m. and the 2026 Barkley Marathons began, this time in the anti clockwise direction and on Valentine's Day.In this episode, I break down my full loop at Barkley, from the chaotic descent off Chimney Top to the long climb up Rat Jaw, the prison tunnel, Little Hell, navigation errors, and the final push back to camp just under 14 hours.I also share some of the lesser known history of the race, including how the Barkley nearly disappeared in 2006 before a Tennessee Senate resolution preserved it at Frozen Head State Park. A race born as a joke about a failed prison escape has become one of the most respected endurance tests in the world.This was a strong field. The weather was ideal. The direction was reversed. And for me, it ended with a fall, a hairline rib fracture, and a hard earned lesson.Barkley is never just about finishing. It is about small navigation wins, brutal climbs through thick leaves, and seeing how close you can get to your edge.And this year, it was also about spending Valentine's Day collecting book pages with Allison.Sixteen books. Fourteen hours. One broken rib.The price we pay for love.Support our Sponsors: Sawyer: https://sawyerdirect.net/Janji (code: Freeoutside): https://snp.link/a0bfb726CS Coffee: CSinstant.coffeeGarage Grown Gear: https://snp.link/db1ba8abSubscribe to Substack: http://freeoutside.substack.comSupport this content on patreon: HTTP://patreon.com/freeoutsideBuy my book "Free Outside" on Amazon: https://amzn.to/39LpoSFEmail me to buy a signed copy of my book, "Free Outside" at jeff@freeoutside.comWatch the movie about setting the record on the Colorado Trail: https://tubitv.com/movies/100019916/free-outsideWebsite: www.Freeoutside.comInstagram: thefreeoutsidefacebook: www.facebook.com/freeoutside#Trailrunning #Runningnews #Outdoors #Outdooradventure

It's Monday, February 23rd, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Utah teacher forces student to wash off Ash Wednesday cross A Utah elementary school faced backlash after a teacher told a Catholic student to remove an Ash Wednesday cross from his forehead, a symbol marking the beginning of Lent, reports WHSV TV. Fourth-grader William McLeod had attended church on Ash Wednesday and arrived at Valley View Elementary School in Bountiful, Utah wearing a traditional ash cross. He said classmates initially questioned him about it, unaware that the ash cross marked the beginning of Jesus' 40 days in the wilderness before the beginning of His three-year ministry. The boy recalled his teacher asking, “What is that?” He replied, “It's Ash Wednesday. It's the first day of Lent.” She said, “No, it's inappropriate. Go take it off.” In front of his peers, she gave the child a wipe and told him to clean his forehead. McLeod said, “I felt really bad.” His grandmother said he was embarrassed and upset, saying he later went to see the school psychologist “crying.” The Davis School District issued a formal apology, saying the teacher's actions were unacceptable. A spokesman said, “No student should ever be asked or required to remove an ash cross from his or her forehead.” The teacher later apologized. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 against Trump tariffs On Friday, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 against President Donald Trump's sweeping global tariffs, striking down a central part of his economic agenda, reports The Western Journal. TRUMP: “The Supreme Court's ruling on tariffs is deeply disappointing. I'm ashamed of certain members of the court, absolutely ashamed, for not having the courage to do what's right for our country.” The case focused on tariffs President Trump imposed under a 1977 emergency powers law known as the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. He used that law to impose reciprocal tariffs on most countries beginning last year. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the majority that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act “does not authorize the President to impose tariffs.” Associate Justice Amy Barrett and Neil Gorsuch sided with Roberts and the court's three liberals. However, Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, and Brett Kavanaugh dissented, reports the Associated Press. President Trump imposes new tariff using different authority On Truth Social, President Trump wrote, “I would like to thank and congratulate Justices Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh for your strength, wisdom, and love of our country, which is right now very proud of you. “When you read the dissenting opinions, there is no way that anyone can argue against them. Foreign Countries that have been ripping us off for years are ecstatic, and dancing in the streets — But they won't be dancing for long!” Kavanaugh wrote, “The decision might not substantially constrain a President's ability to order tariffs going forward. That is because numerous other federal statutes authorize the President to impose tariffs and might justify most (if not all) of the tariffs issued in this case. ... Those statutes include, for example, the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (Section 232); the Trade Act of 1974 (Sections 122, 201, and 301); and the Tariff Act of 1930 (Section 338).” TRUMP: “Other alternatives will now be used to replace the ones that the court incorrectly rejected. Great alternatives. Could be more money. We'll take in more money.” Inspired by Judge Brett Kavanaugh's dissent, President Trump imposed a new 10% global tariff the same day of the Supreme Court decision last Friday, using Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, reports NewsNation. GOP Rep. Tony Gonzales had affair with aide who set herself on fire U.S. Republican Congressman Tony Gonzales of Texas engaged in a romantic relationship with an aide who died last year by setting herself on fire outside her Uvalde home, according to a text message and people close to the aide and her family, reports the San Antonio Express-News. Both she and Gonzales were married to other people at the time of the alleged affair. A former staffer in Gonzales' district office, who worked closely with the aide, Regina Ann Santos-Aviles, said she told him they had an affair in 2024, and that she spiraled into a depression after her husband discovered the relationship and Gonzales abruptly ended their affair. Exodus 20:14 says, “You shall not commit adultery.” He also shared with the San Antonio Express-News a screenshot of a text message from Regina in which she acknowledged having an “affair with our boss.” The staffer, who asked not to be named, citing a fear of retaliation, faulted Gonzales' office for failing to intervene, saying he warned the congressman's district director months before Regina's fiery suicide that he was concerned about her well-being. He described her as his “best friend” and said their families knew each other. Gonzales, a Republican representing Texas' 23rd Congressional District, is currently seeking re-election in a contested primary. The San Antonio Express-News, which had initially endorsed Gonzales in the March 3rd Republican primary, recently withdrew its endorsement. In the Republican Primary for Congress in District 23, many South Texans are looking to support Francisco “Quico” Canseco during early voting or on Election Day, Tuesday, March 3rd. Texas bobsled gold medalist almost quit And finally, (audio of Olympics theme song) It was a couple of weeks before Christmas. Elana Meyers Taylor, age 41, was in Norway, prepping for a World Cup bobsled weekend. Things were going horribly. Her body was hurting, she wondered if she was doing right by her two deaf children, and the racing results were, well, bad, reports the San Antonio Express-News. So, she texted her husband. The message: I'm done. She wrote, “This is just impossible. It's never going to work.” She was 10th in the World Cup monobob standings. Eight women won medals on the circuit this winter and she wasn't one of them. Her average finish was 10th and her result during a race on the Olympic track in November was 19th — a whopping 2.43 seconds behind the winning time. FEMALE ANNOUNCER: “She had probably her worst season of monobob in her life.” Her husband, former bobsledder Nic Taylor, is now a performance coach and works with the NBA's San Antonio Spurs. When a Spurs player — the couple won't say who — learned Elana was struggling, he gifted Nic a plane ticket and told him, “Go to Norway immediately!” So, Nic flew to Norway to encourage his wife in person after those discouraging texts to talk her out of quitting. That strengthened Elana's resolve to compete. Listen to the Olympics announcer during Elana's bobsled run. MALE ANNOUNCER: “Elana Myers Taylor has this magical moment to win another Olympic medal and potentially gold. Her husband Nick and sons, Noah and Nico, are here in the crowd. “This is a promising run for Elana Myers Taylor. Sixteen-hundredths of a second ahead of Kaillie Humphries, 12-hundredths of a second ahead. Elana Myers Taylor has never won a gold medal at the Olympics. She has now. It's gold for the United States, and that elusive gold medal for Eleanor Myers Taylor, is elusive no more. The most prolific female bobsledder in history.” At 41, she became the oldest woman to win an individual gold medal in Winter Games history. It was her sixth Olympic medal. She said, “I was determined to keep fighting, determined to just put down the best runs I could. And look what happened. There were so many moments during this entire season, during this past four years, that I thought it wasn't possible.” And now you know the rest of the story. In 1 Corinthians 9:24, the Apostle Paul asked, “Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.” Or, in Elana Meyers Taylor's case, slide in such a way as to get the prize.

A brilliant physician risks his own life to force open the border between body and soul, determined to correct what he believes nature has failed to complete. When the experiment ends and only one flame returns, his assistant must decide whether to protect a dangerous legacy—or let it rise again in a new form. The Ultimate Problem by Victor Rousseau. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Victor Rousseau joins us on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast for the first time today.Born in Belgium in 1879, Rousseau was educated in Europe before emigrating to the United States as a young man. He eventually settled in New York, where he moved from journalism and translation work into fiction. Like many early pulp writers, he didn't begin in science fiction alone. He wrote adventure stories, historical fiction, and romances, building a reputation for fast-paced storytelling long before the science fiction boom fully took shape.Rousseau became a regular presence in magazines, Adventure, Argosy, and later Weird Tales. Over the course of his career, Rousseau wrote dozens of novels and a large body of short fiction across multiple genres. In science fiction alone, he produced almost 100 short stories and several novels, most of them in the 1920s and 30s.The Ultimate Problem appeared in U.S. newspapers in 1911. We found it in the Stevens Point Journal of Stevens Point, Wisconsin, on Friday, March 3, 1911, published under Victor Rousseau's H. M. Egbert byline.Sixteen years later it was published in the July 1927 issue of Weird Tales Magazine on page 77, The Ultimate Problem by Victor Rousseau…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, He wanted to look beyond time and prove that history was still alive, waiting in hidden dimensions. What answered him from those angles was patient, hungry, and already on his scent.

Send a textNick's addiction began with a childhood prescription and escalated into fentanyl, meth, jail, and repeated overdoses. As his substance use intensified, so did his spiritual and psychological battles — experiences involving gangstalking, dark forces, and what he describes as witches and warlocks targeting him.From prescription pills to sixteen overdoses and a spiritual awakening, Nick's story explores addiction, faith, and the unseen battles that can unfold when trauma and drugs collide. He speaks about living in fear, feeling spiritually attacked, and wrestling with forces he believes were both psychological and spiritual in nature. Jail became the place where he slowed down, regained clarity, and began rebuilding through faith, accountability, and recovery community.This conversation centers on recovery, awareness, and the tension between mental health and spiritual warfare. Nick's journey reminds us that healing sometimes means confronting both inner demons and perceived external darkness — and choosing faith, structure, and recovery over chaos✅ Check SEIU West✅ Wellness News✅ Parenting in the StormSupport the showCheck out the speakeasy podcast Follow Daniel Unmanageable on Facebook Follow Project Sparky We've got fresh merch and it's amazing!

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Fake ransom notes. A federal arrest for a fraudulent text. A live-television detention that led nowhere. Sixteen contaminated gloves. A promising DNA lead that just collapsed. Fifty thousand tips and still no suspect. The Nancy Guthrie case has generated more noise in seventeen days than most investigations produce in a year — and the psychological toll of that chaos is hitting everyone involved.On Hidden Killers, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott — who has spent three decades in forensic mental health settings — analyzes the psychology behind the distractions plaguing this investigation. What drives a person like Derrick Callella to fabricate a ransom demand in a kidnapping he has no connection to? Why do high-profile cases attract predatory opportunists who exploit a family's worst moment for attention or cryptocurrency? And what happens psychologically when evidence that was supposed to be the break — the glove, the DNA, the CODIS submission — turns into another dead end?Scott examines how evidence contamination at the scale seen in this case erodes both investigator confidence and public trust. She addresses the psychological impact of contradictory narratives leaking from within the investigation — one source calling it a burglary gone wrong, the sheriff calling it a kidnapping, the FBI staying silent. And she tackles the uncomfortable question of what fifty thousand tips actually represent: how much is real information, and how much is anxiety, suspicion, and the human need to feel like you're doing something?When a case produces constant dramatic action but zero resolution, the activity itself becomes psychologically corrosive — for the investigators, for the public, and above all for the family trapped at the center of a storm that shows no sign of clearing.#NancyGuthrie #SavannahGuthrie #GuthrieNoise #FalseLeads #FakeRansom #ContaminatedScene #ShavaunScott #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimePodcast #PimaCountyJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Seventeen days into the search for Nancy Guthrie, the case has produced an extraordinary volume of activity — and almost none of it has brought investigators closer to finding her. Multiple ransom communications surfaced, including at least one confirmed fake that led to a federal arrest. A person of interest was detained near the Mexican border on live television and released. A SWAT team descended on a home two miles from the crime scene with no result. Sixteen gloves were collected from the search area — most belonging to the searchers themselves. The one glove that generated the most hope was sent to a Florida lab, sent back to Arizona for retesting, run through CODIS, and came back with no match to anything in the database or even to the DNA found at Nancy's property.Fifty thousand tips have poured in. The investigation is massive. And Nancy Guthrie is still gone.In this episode of Hidden Killers Live, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott examines the psychology of noise — the false leads, the fraudulent ransom demands, the contaminated evidence, the public spectacle, and the sheer volume of information flooding the case from every direction. Scott has spent thirty years working in forensic mental health and understands how psychological chaos affects everyone involved: the investigators trying to find signal in an ocean of noise, the public cycling through hope and deflation with every headline, and the family watching dramatic action produce no results day after day.She analyzes what drives people like Derrick Callella to fabricate ransom demands in a stranger's crisis. She explains the clinical impact of evidence contamination on investigator confidence and public trust. And she addresses the hardest question: when a case generates this much visible effort with this little visible progress, does the activity itself become a form of psychological torment for the people waiting for an answer?This is an analysis of how noise, distraction, and dysfunction can become the biggest obstacles standing between a missing person and the truth.#NancyGuthrie #SavannahGuthrie #GuthrieCaseNoise #FakeRansom #ContaminatedEvidence #TucsonKidnapping #ShavaunScott #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #InvestigationFailuresJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Sixteen days. No arrest. And a growing list of investigative decisions that defense attorney Bob Motta says could haunt prosecutors at trial.The Nancy Guthrie case has captured national attention—partly because her niece is Today show co-host Savannah Guthrie, but increasingly because of what's going wrong with the investigation itself.The crime scene was reportedly released early. Journalists photographed what appeared to be blood on the front porch before authorities scrambled to re-secure it. The FBI allegedly wanted critical DNA evidence sent to their Quantico lab; Sheriff Chris Nanos reportedly refused and sent it to a private Florida facility instead. An FBI source called it "dumb" and "insane."Then there's the glove problem. Of sixteen gloves collected near the home, fifteen were reportedly discarded by the searchers themselves—contamination that gives any defense attorney a roadmap to reasonable doubt.Bob Motta explains how each of these vulnerabilities translates into courtroom strategy. He breaks down the legal exposure facing Derrick Callella, charged with sending fake ransom texts to exploit the family's nightmare. He examines what Friday's SWAT detention—and Saturday's release of all four individuals—means for future prosecution.And he addresses the devastating human element: 84-year-old Nancy reportedly requires daily heart medication she hasn't had for over two weeks. If the worst happens, her medical vulnerability could elevate charges dramatically.This is what the prosecution will face when charges finally come—and what the defense will use to fight back.#NancyGuthrie #TrueCrimeToday #SavannahGuthrie #DefenseStrategy #InvestigationErrors #TucsonMissing #FBICase #CrimeSceneEvidence #LegalAnalysis #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

One glove. Unknown male DNA. And an investigation that just shifted beneath the surface.Sixteen days after Nancy Guthrie was taken from her Catalina Foothills home, the FBI confirmed that a glove found two miles away contains a DNA profile matching the gloves worn by the suspect in the doorbell footage. That profile is headed to CODIS — but there's no guarantee it returns a name. If the suspect has never been arrested and swabbed, the database returns nothing, and investigators are left with forensic genealogy timelines Nancy may not survive.The evidence handling has been a disaster. Federal sources say Sheriff Nanos blocked the FBI from processing the glove at Quantico. Nanos denies it. The forensic genealogy company Othram called the decision devastating. On Monday, the sheriff's department quietly redirected all evidence questions to the FBI.A CBS 5 reporter says an inside source believes this was a burglary gone wrong. Both agencies denied it. But Robin Dreeke has been reading amateur behavioral markers in the footage on this show for two weeks. Jeff Bennett raised the burglary theory on Day 4 of our coverage. The behavioral evidence was already there.Trump threatened the death penalty Monday. The family has been saying it's never too late to come forward. Those two messages cannot coexist.Helicopters are scanning the desert with signal sniffers trying to detect Nancy's pacemaker. It went silent at 2:28 AM on February 1st and hasn't reconnected. The family has been officially cleared. And the entire case may now ride on whether a glove on a roadside holds enough to identify the person who wore it.#NancyGuthrie #SavannahGuthrie #CODIS #DNAEvidence #SheriffNanos #RobinDreeke #BurglaryTheory #FBIInvestigation #TucsonKidnapping #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Sixteen days missing. A SWAT raid that went nowhere. A sheriff who says it could take years.Friday night's operation looked like the breakthrough—federal warrant, tactical teams, a "person of interest" stopped in a Range Rover. By Saturday, everyone was released without charges.Sheriff Chris Nanos confirmed: "No sign of Nancy was found."Then he told the New York Times the case could take "weeks or months or even years" to solve.Nancy Guthrie is 84 years old. She needs daily heart medication. She hasn't had it for over two weeks.The investigation is fracturing. The FBI wanted evidence sent to Quantico—Nanos sent it to a private Florida lab. An FBI source called it "insane."

The FBI won't commit to any single theory.And Savannah Guthrie addressed her mother's captor Sunday: "It's never too late to do the right thing."This is where the case stands Monday morning.#NancyGuthrie #SavannahGuthrie #TrueCrimeToday #MissingPersons #FBI #CODIS #TucsonArizona #Kidnapping #SheriffNanos #BreakingNewsJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The biggest show of force in two weeks—and it produced nothing.Friday night: SWAT raid two miles from Nancy Guthrie's home. Three detained. A "person of interest" questioned at a Culver's parking lot. His Range Rover searched and towed.Saturday morning: Everyone released. No arrests. Sheriff Nanos confirming "no sign of Nancy was found."Then Nanos told the New York Times finding her could take "years."An 84-year-old woman who needs daily heart medication. Missing for sixteen days. And the sheriff is measuring his timeline in years.This episode exposes the dysfunction: FBI and sheriff fighting over which lab processes DNA evidence. Sixteen gloves collected—fifteen discarded by the searchers themselves. The one glove that matters now entering CODIS.Inside sources say burglary gone wrong. The FBI says "myriad of theories." Nobody's on the same page.And Savannah Guthrie, speaking directly to whoever has her mother: "You're not lost or alone. It's never too late to do the right thing."That's an off-ramp for someone in over their head.

Tara dives into a growing cultural shift: Gen Z is delaying — or outright skipping — getting a driver's license. Once seen as the ultimate symbol of teenage freedom, driving is now considered expensive, stressful, and even dangerous by many young people. With licensing rates dropping from nearly half of all teens in the 1980s to just a quarter today, Tara explores whether this trend reflects maturity, fear, economic reality, or a deeper societal change. From personal stories and listener reactions to debates about road safety and age requirements, this episode asks a bigger question — should sixteen-year-olds even be driving at all? ⚡ PRIMARY TALKING POINTS The sharp decline in teen driver's licenses Why Gen Z is waiting longer — cost, fear, online lifestyles Uber and rideshare culture reshaping independence Personal stories of teen driving anxiety and close calls Are younger drivers less prepared than previous generations? Debate: Should the legal driving age be raised? Listener texts — nostalgia vs. modern caution Regional safety concerns and dangerous driving environments
True Crime Today presents a comprehensive behavioral analysis with former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, covering two major cases: the Nancy Guthrie abduction and the McKee/Tepe double homicide autopsy findings.Robin served as Chief of the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, where he spent decades training agents to read human behavior and detect deception. In this interview, he applies that expertise to cases demanding answers.The Guthrie case: An 84-year-old woman taken from her Tucson home in the middle of the night. Forced entry. Personal items left behind. Ransom notes sent to media outlets—not the family—demanding bitcoin and containing details about the inside of her home. Robin decodes what these behavioral choices reveal about the perpetrator. He explains how investigators assess witnesses, separate grief from guilt, and prioritize leads when false accusations are already circulating.The McKee/Tepe autopsy: Sixteen gunshot wounds between two victims. Monique shot nine times, including once in the face at close range. Spencer shot seven times with defensive injuries suggesting he tried to protect his wife. Robin analyzes the wound patterns—what they reveal about mental state, whether this was cold execution or rage, and how a surgeon's professional conditioning may have shaped the attack.We examine the "wound collector" profile. The affidavit alleges McKee spent eight years obsessing over Monique, making threats, and conducting surveillance. Robin explains what sustains that fixation and what finally triggers action after nearly a decade.McKee's phone went dark during the murder window. Stolen plates. Counter-forensic behavior.

The autopsy findings in the McKee/Tepe double homicide provide critical insight into what happened in that bedroom. Monique Tepe was shot nine times, including once in the face at close range. Spencer Tepe was shot seven times, with wounds to his hand and arm consistent with trying to protect his wife. Both died within seconds to minutes.True Crime Today brings in former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke to analyze what these wound patterns reveal about the shooter's psychology and whether Michael McKee's alleged eight-year obsession made this outcome inevitable.Robin served as Chief of the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, specializing in predatory behavior and threat assessment. He examines why Monique received more wounds and was shot at closer range, what the face wound suggests behaviorally, and what Spencer's defensive injuries tell us about his final moments.Sixteen rounds fired—roughly a full magazine emptied into two people. Robin explains what that volume indicates about emotional control, mental rehearsal, and whether this was cold calculation or explosive rage.McKee is a surgeon—someone trained for years in emotional compartmentalization and precision under pressure. The autopsy shows methodical targeting: upper body wounds, rapid execution, no wild misses. Robin discusses how that conditioning potentially shaped both the attack and McKee's behavior since arrest.The affidavit alleges years of stalking behavior and threats.

What does an autopsy really say about motive when the victims never get to speak? In the McKee/Tepe case, the autopsy paints a brutal, almost surgical picture. Monique Tepe was shot nine times, including a close-range gunshot to the face. Spencer Tepe was shot seven times, with defensive wounds to his hand and arm suggesting he tried to shield his wife in their final moments. Both likely died within seconds to minutes. A full magazine was emptied. Two children slept just feet away. Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke breaks down what these wound patterns can reveal about the shooter's psychological state, and whether Michael McKee's alleged eight-year fixation made this outcome feel inevitable. Why was Monique shot more times, and at closer range? Does a facial gunshot point to something personal, rage-driven, or symbolic? What do Spencer's defensive injuries tell us about the sequence of events and his last attempt to intervene? Sixteen rounds fired into two people isn't impulsive. Robin explains what that volume of fire suggests about mental rehearsal versus explosive emotion, and how professional conditioning may shape how violence is carried out. According to the affidavit, McKee allegedly told Monique over the years that he could “kill her at any time” and that “she will always be his wife.” Robin explores the so-called wound collector profile, someone who stockpiles perceived slights for years, feeding revenge fantasies until a final trigger pulls everything into motion. With a phone that allegedly went dark during the murder window, stolen plates on the SUV, and post-arrest attempts to alter identifying details, investigators point to counter-forensic behavior and operational awareness. But can anything crack someone who may have planned this for nearly a decade, and does the autopsy itself hold the key to breaking through that psychological armor? #MichaelMcKee #TepeAutopsy #MoniqueTepe #SpencerTepe #RobinDreeke #FBIBehavioralAnalysis #WoundCollector #16Gunshots #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A jealous break up. A calculated acid attack. A death that didn't happen in court. In 2015, Mark van Dongen was left blind, paralyzed, and in constant pain after his former partner attacked him with sulphuric acid while he slept. Sixteen months later he died by legal assisted suicide in Belgium, a decision that would shock the UK and complicate the case against his attacker. This is a true crime case where survival was only the beginning. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Sixteen bullets. Two victims. Two children left crying in a house with their dead parents. The autopsy reports for Spencer and Monique Tepe are now public — and they paint a brutal picture of what happened inside that Weinland Park bedroom on December 30th. Every wound was to the upper body. Both victims had defensive injuries. The trajectories show they moved, turned, tried to escape. The shooting continued anyway.This episode breaks down the forensic signature of the crime and what it tells us about the psychology of the person accused of committing it. Michael McKee — Monique's ex-husband — allegedly waited eight and a half years after their divorce before allegedly executing her and her new husband. Court documents describe years of alleged threats, stalking behavior, and an obsession that never faded. He allegedly told her she would "always be his wife" and that he could "kill her at any time."Forensic psychologists call this pattern a "grievance collector" — someone who catalogs wounds to their ego and nurtures them for years until the grievance becomes justification. McKee's alleged behavior fits this profile precisely. The surveillance weeks before the murders. The stolen license plates. The phone going dark the night of the killings. The sticker scraped off his vehicle afterward.What makes this case uniquely disturbing is the combination of explosive violence and meticulous control. A full magazine emptied, but confined to the bedroom. Children left unharmed but orphaned. And a suspect who allegedly drove home and went back to work. That's not rage.
