Broforce is a lot of fun...until it isn't. What do I mean by this? I don't mean what you probably think--that it's fun for a while and eventually stops being fun--but that it's best enjoyed in small doses instead of large ones. I played Broforce two nights in a row for roughly four hours each night and the same thing happened both nights: after about hour two, I started to get annoyed and frustrated with the game and stopped enjoying it. Long story short, I'd recommend Broforce to most--especially if you have a friend or two to play it with (even though it can get quite hectic)--just make sure you keep your sessions on the shorter side if you don't want to lose your mind.

We're starting our summer series--Strength in Small Doses!! Burnout doesn't always look like collapse—sometimes it's irritation, numbness, or overdoing it. In this episode, we explore how burnout shows up for each Enneagram type and share one small, practical step to help you reset. Your first clue matters—and you don't have to wait for a meltdown to respond.Ready for a summer of personal growth? Give yourself a summer makeover! Check out your options here!

Discover how Amanda Seales combines comedy and activism to address social justice challenges in Hollywood.This show is made possible thanks our members! To become a sustaining member go to https://LauraFlanders.org/donate Our year end goal is to raise $50,000. Thank you for your continued support!  Description:  What does it take to be politically outspoken in Hollywood? You may know Amanda Seales from her role on HBO's “Insecure”, her stand-up comedy, her podcast and radio show or her viral videos on social media. She's lost agents, her publicist, and has had speaking gigs retracted for her commitment to social justice. From Black women to Palestinians in Gaza, Seales uses her platform to speak honestly about harm done to others. She talks powerfully about her experiences with the dangers of fame and celebrity in Hollywood, neurodivergence, white supremacy and a whole lot more. In this conversation, Laura Flanders asks Amanda Seales about our progress as a country, what it means to be an “artistic intellectual” and about the educators who've helped her along the way. Hear why Seales is “divesting from celebrity” and taking backlash from her support for Palestinians as “a badge of honor”. Plus, go behind the scenes with Seales with the full, uncut conversation from this week's show. Laura will tell you more.“. . . You are definitely expected to just take whatever gossip is said about you. You have to take it all on the chin because you've made this somehow unspoken exchange that having monetary gain and visibility means that you have to allow harm. And what I've decided is I am divesting from celebrity.” - Amanda Seales“I lost my agents, I lost my publicist, and I have definitely had speaking engagements and different gigs retracted because of my support of Palestine and my outward support of the ending of apartheid in Palestine. I got to tell you, I take it as a badge of honor. I do. It's good trouble, rest in peace to John Lewis. I am so honored for all those people.” - Amanda SealesGuests:  Amanda Seales, Artistic Intellectual Watch the broadcast episode cut for time at our YouTube channel and airing on PBS stations across the country Subscribe to episode notes via PatreonMusic In the Middle:  “Hope” by Shaun Escoffery from his forth coming expanded digital album release of In The Red Room coming out on Dome Records.  And additional music included- "Steppin"  by Podington Bear. RESOURCES:Related Laura Flanders Show Episodes:•.

Sometimes to feel closer to our friends there's this pressure to share our most vulnerable feelings or unearth some deep, dark secret. But what if I told you there are more ways to feel connected to our friends that are actually simpler, easier, and more common? That in fact, there are DOZENS of ways we're trying to open up to each other, but because they're not “big” shares, they're often overlooked?I believe we are all missing out on small moments of connection with our friends, and in this episode, I'll describe this concept that I've mentioned many times but never dug into: small intimacies. My hope with this episode is to offer ways to shift the friendship culture and pay more attention to those small bids of connection, because as I've said before, friendship doesn't have to be “all or nothing.” Sometimes those small intimacies are more than enough.In this episode you'll hear about:Definitions of vulnerability and rejection and the roles they play in whether or not we allow small intimaciesExamples of small intimacies that are overlooked in friendship, from inviting somebody into your house to telling the truth when somebody asks how you areTopics that are vulnerable or considered big shares for some people but not for others, which can be both “positive” and “negative” sharesThe cycle of overthinking what we share to our friends and how we can open ourselves up to small intaciesThe Roots of Connection framework which I talk about more in Episode 12Resources & Links:Learn more about my roots framework!

It's Casual Friday! Emma speaks with Krystal Ball, host of Breaking Points, to round up the week in news. Then, she is joined by actress and comedian Amanda Seales! First, Emma runs through updates on Israel's flattening of Gaza, Israel's murder of children in the West Bank, US intelligence undermining UNRWA involvement in October 7th, the hope of a ceasefire, and new Russia sanctions, before watching Tommy Tuberville's confused support for Alabama's IVF-ban. Krystal Ball then joins, diving right into the recent State Supreme Court decision out of Alabama officially establishing embryos as children and effectively outlawing IVF treatment, exploring the Chief Justice's insane Biblical defense, how it gives away the game on the right's end goals with reproductive constrictions, and what it means for reproductive care in Alabama moving forward. Next, Ball and Emma parse through the recent mainstream media coverage of Biden's age issues and their attempt to convince us of his totally real behind-the-scenes spryness, tackling the role it plays heading into the presidential election, and what to make of the question of voting between someone facilitating a genocide, and someone who definitely would also facilitate a genocide, before briefly assessing the (however slim) possibility of a Kamala Harris candidacy. They then touch on recent news about US intelligence downplaying Israeli evidence of UNRWA participation on October 7th, and what to make of the US' active facilitation of this genocide in the face of their own intelligence and mass public objection, then wrapping up the interview by touching con Krystal's recent coverage of Julian Assange's extradition trial. Amanda Seales then walks through her own experience awakening to the US and Israel's occupation of Palestine, exploring the relationship as one of the final pillars of US imperialism, mythology, and exceptionalism. Next, they touch on the relationship between Zionism and White Supremacy, with help from anti-immigrant protesters in Tel Aviv, before relating it to the domestic politics in the US and the solidarity between communities marginalized by American Empire. And in the Fun Half: Emma watches Alabama's fundamentalist Chief Justice walk through his insane worldview, Rep. Andy Ogles calls for the murder of all Gazan children, and an AI scam in the New Hampshire Democratic Primary comes to light. Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary mourns the sanctity of NYC real estate investors after Trump is punished for mere fraud, plus, your IMs!

Texas preacher, T.D. Jakes, found himself at the center of a social media rumor mill accusing him of appearing at Diddy's sex-charged parties.
