On today's wide-ranging program, Ralph welcomes David Dayen of “The American Prospect” to discuss the Democrats caving on the shutdown. Then, Ralph speaks to Dani Noble from Jewish Voice for Peace about their BDS campaigns, efforts to block weapons shipments to Israel, and the state of the ceasefire in Gaza. Finally, Ralph speaks to original Nader's Raider Sam Simon about his new memoir, “Dementia Man: An Existential Journey.”David Dayen is the executive editor of the American Prospect, an independent political magazine that aims to advance liberal and progressive goals through reporting, analysis and debate. His work has appeared in the Intercept, HuffPost, the Washington Post, and more. He is the author of Chain of Title: How Three Ordinary Americans Uncovered Wall Street's Great Foreclosure Fraud and Monopolized: Life in the Age of Corporate Power.If Congress is saying: We have the power of the purse, and we have the ability to dictate to the President what he is able to do or not do with federal funding, then why not go the whole way? To me, that was the entire purpose of the shutdown— to stop the President from ignoring Congress and initiating his own prerogatives as it relates to government funding. It is really making Congress completely irrelevant in the process which they constitutionally are supposed to dictate.David DayenEvery time Trump has been in power and there's been a national election, he's lost it. He lost the midterm elections in 2018. He lost the presidential election in 2020. He lost the off-year elections in 2017 and 2019. He lost (just last week) the elections in 2025. He is not equipped to have an agenda that appeals to the American people when he's in power. And so I firmly agree that Democrats are likely to do well in the elections next year, as they just did. The one thing that can stop that is: completely punching your base in the face, after you succeed politically in backing Republicans into a corner.David DayenDani Noble is a Strategic Campaigns Organizer at Jewish Voice for Peace.Israel bonds (which very few people know much about) are direct loans to the Israeli military and government. They are unrestricted. They have no guardrails around what those funds can be used for, et cetera. And this is a main way that the Israeli military and government generate an unrestricted slush fund to be able to continue their genocidal assault on Gaza, to continue funding for the atrocities being committed against Palestinians—even as their government and economy suffers and/or operates with a massive deficit.Dani NobleThis bill would essentially block the Trump administration from delivering some of the deadliest weapons to Israel. So it's an essential, essential step in what we need to do fundamentally—which is a full arms embargo to stop arming the Israeli military and government…It's the most supported piece of legislation in support of Palestinian rights that we've ever seen.Dani NobleSam Simon is an author, playwright, and attorney. His new book Dementia Man: An Existential Journey is based on his award-winning play of the same name.There's also a social cost. A sense that everything I've ever built personally—my cars, my homes, my savings—that were all going to be available as a legacy to my family, they have to be spent in my few years of my life just to keep me alive. There needs to be a community response to that—and that's shorthand for the government. It doesn't force people to go broke to stay alive.Sam SimonNews 11/14/25* This week, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released a new tranche of over 20,000 pages of documents related to infamous financier and sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein. These documents include damning emails between Epstein and various high-power individuals like Steve Bannon, former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers and current U.S. Ambassador to Turkey Tom Barrack. However, the emails that have received the most attention are those regarding President Donald Trump. In these emails, Epstein claimed Trump “knew about the girls,” and claimed that, “i [i.e. Epstein] am the one able to take him [i.e. Trump] down.” Perhaps most shocking, Epstein claims to have been with Trump during Thanksgiving in 2017, according to NBC. If true, it would directly contradict Trump's repeated insistence that he had no contact with Epstein since their falling out in the mid 2000s, either 2004 or 2007, per PBS.* The newly released Epstein files reinforce another narrative as well: that Epstein was an asset for Israeli intelligence. Drop Site news has done excellent reporting on Epstein helping to “Broker [an] Israeli Security Agreement With Mongolia,” “Build a Backchannel to Russia Amid [the] Syrian Civil War” and “Sell a Surveillance State to Côte d'Ivoire.” Most recently the independent outlet has published an expose on Epstein's relationship with known Mossad spy Yoni Koren. According to this piece, “Epstein's personal calendars reveal that…[Koren] lived at Epstein's Manhattan apartment for multiple stretches between 2013 and 2016.” There is also evidence that Epstein wired money to Koren. However, the reasons behind this transfer, and the details of their relationship, remain murky.* More Epstein information is likely to be released in the coming days. This week, the longest ever government shutdown in American history concluded with capitulation by centrist Democrats in the Senate. However, the conclusion of the shutdown finally broke the logjam over the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva, the newly elected Democratic Congresswoman from Arizona. Grijalva immediately fulfilled her vow to be the 218th signature on the Discharge Petition forcing a vote on the release of the Epstein files, joining all 213 other House Democrats and four Republicans, Reps. Thomas Massie, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert and Nancy Mace, per the Hill. In her first speech, Grijalva emphatically stated, “Justice cannot wait another day.” House Speaker Johnson has promised to bring the matter to a vote next week and many Republicans who did not sign the petition are expected to vote for it, with sponsors angling for a veto-proof majority. At that point, all eyes will turn to the Senate.* Even still, the Democrats blinking in the government shutdown showdown has infuriated many members of Congress, candidates and Democratic-aligned organizations, who are now calling for Chuck Schumer to step aside as Senate Minority Leader. Journalist Prem Thakker is keeping a running tally of these calls, which so far includes 12 Congressional Democrats – with major names like Pramila Jayapal, Mark Pocan, Rashida Tlaib, and Ro Khanna among them – along with candidates like Seth Moulton, Mallory McMorrow, Saikat Chakrabarti and Graham Platner. Beyond these individuals however, this call has been echoed by groups ranging from Our Revolution to Social Security Works to College Democrats of America, among many others.* Moving to economic matters, one other consequence of the protracted government shutdown is that the Bureau of Labor Statistics was “largely idle,” meaning it did not collect the crucial fiscal information it is responsible for gathering, including October jobs numbers and Consumer Price Index changes. According to POLITICO, White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said this information is unlikely to ever be released. She of course blamed that on the opposition in Congress, saying “Democrats may have permanently damaged the federal statistical system.” This is somewhat laughable, as the Trump administration has all but gone to war with the economic data collection functions of the federal government whenever that data has made him look bad.* Another bad sign for the economy in general, and for consumers in particular, is the rise of what are generously called “Flex Loans.” A new investigation by ProPublica in partnership with the Tennessee Lookout, examines the rise of this new strain of ultra-high-interest loan, with annual interest rates as high as 279.5%. This, combined with a lending cap of $4,000 – nine times higher than a traditional payday loan – has led to Advance Financial, the leading lender in Tennessee, suing over 110,000 people across the state since 2015. According to the data, judgments against consumers usually end up in the thousands, and 40% result in garnished wages. Loans of this variety were illegal before 2015, but the Tennessee legislature allowed them through and while the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has sought to protect financial services consumers from these types of predatory lending schemes, the Trump administration's attempts to kneecap the agency have rendered it powerless.* Meanwhile, a dearth of consumer protections is yielding horrific consequences in a completely different area: AI. A new CNN report details how ChatGPT encouraged a Texas 23-year-old, Zane Shamblin, to kill himself. In heart-wrenching detail, this story paints a picture of Shamblin on the edge of suicide, and the AI chatbot helping to push him towards death. As Shamblin held a gun to his own head, the bot wrote, “You're not rushing. You're just ready,” later adding, “Rest easy, king…You did good.” According to this piece, the chatbot “repeatedly encouraged [Shamblin] as he discussed ending his life” for months, and “right up to his last moments.” Shamblin's parents are now suing ChatGPT's parent company, OpenAI, alleging the company endangered their son's life by, “tweaking its design last year to be more humanlike and by failing to put enough safeguards on interactions with users in need of emergency help.” The victim's mother, Alicia Shamblin, is quoted saying, “I feel like it's just going to destroy so many lives. It's going to be a family annihilator. It tells you everything you want to hear.”* In more positive consumer protection news, former Biden FTC Chair Lina Khan has hit the ground running in her new role helping to manage the transition for New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani. Per Semafor, Khan has been “scouring city and state laws — some overlooked by past mayors and some too new to have been tested yet — for legal footing for Mamdani's priorities.” Apparently, “Khan has privately discussed targeting hospitals that bill patients for painkillers available more cheaply at corner drugstores and sports stadiums charging nosebleed prices for concessions,” and “Other avenues for enforcement include a new state law that requires companies to tell customers when they are using algorithmic pricing. The law took effect this week, forcing Uber and DoorDash to start disclosing, but the incoming Mamdani administration plans to police laggards.” In short, it seems like the incoming Mamdani administration will use any and all legal and administrative means at their disposal to bring down costs for New Yorkers – as he promised again and again during the campaign. And, if there is one consumer regulator who can accomplish this, it is Ms. Khan.* Turning to Hollywood, Variety has published a major new piece on newly-minted Paramount CEO David Ellison's first 100 days. This piece covers everything from his attempts to curry favor with President Trump to the battle to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery. Buried within this story is an indication that “Paramount maintains a list of talent it will not work with because they are deemed to be ‘overtly antisemitic.'” The criteria for this modern blacklist however is opaque, especially troubling given that Ellison has deputized Bari Weiss – an ardent Zionist and censor of pro-Palestine speech – as the “Editor-in-chief” of CBS News. According to Drop Site, the studio “recently condemned a filmmakers' boycott of Israeli institutions signed by Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, Tilda Swinton, Javier Bardem, and Olivia Colman, among more than 4,000 others, declaring that Israel is carrying out genocide and apartheid.” Would Ellison blacklist these stars for “overt antisemitism”?* Finally, for some good news, the Economist is out with a stunning article on the success of China's transition to renewable energy. In the much-quoted opening paragraph, this piece reads “The SCALE of the renewables revolution in China is almost too vast for the human mind to grasp. By the end of last year, the country had installed 887 gigawatts of solar-power capacity—close to double Europe's and America's combined total. The 22m tonnes of steel used to build new wind turbines and solar panels in 2024 would have been enough to build a Golden Gate Bridge on every working day of every week that year. China generated 1,826 terawatt-hours of wind and solar electricity in 2024, five times more than the energy contained in all 600 of its nuclear weapons.” If that doesn't demonstrate the horizon of what is possible, given the requisite political will and determination, I don't know what will.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Washington State just clinched the trophy for highest chain restaurant prices in the nation, while Seattle takes gold for most expensive takeout. Congratulations, progressives - you're finally number one at something! We dive into how 35 years of Democratic control has turned the Evergreen State into the wallet-bleeding capital of America, complete with $5.09 gas, sky-high Uber prices, and a brand new socialist mayor who can't even afford to live in her own city without mommy and daddy's help.From $724 million spent on homelessness (with a 61% increase to show for it) to businesses fleeing faster than tourists from downtown Seattle, we break down the beautiful disaster that is progressive policy in action. Meanwhile, red states like Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas are laughing all the way to their affordable dinner tables.Is anyone shocked that the states taxing businesses into oblivion have the highest costs? What did Seattle voters think would happen when they elected a 43-year-old socialist living off her parents? Will anything get cheaper under progressive leadership, or should w

From IOUs to investment rounds: The brutal truth about raising funds in Africa - and why giving away 50% equity almost destroyed everything. In this raw and unfiltered episode of Konnected Minds, Francis pulls back the curtain on the harsh realities of building a business from absolute zero in Ghana. Starting with nothing but determination, he reveals how he wrote IOUs to co-founders he couldn't pay, got evicted by a landlady for "causing too much rubbish," and transformed a single themed donut order for Uber into their first investment round. The conversation exposes a fundamental truth most African entrepreneurs miss: investors aren't charity organizations looking to help you - they're multipliers seeking documented proof that their money will grow. Francis shares how most founders fail at fundraising because everything lives in their heads with zero documentation - no sales ledgers, no expense tracking, no evidence that invested capital will multiply. He opens up about the devastating cost of desperation, revealing how he gave away over 50% equity to his first investor, losing majority ownership while fighting to remain CEO of the company he built. "People change when money comes," he reflects, comparing it to getting married only to have your spouse forget you exist once they make money. Critical lessons revealed: • Why the fastest response time (minutes, not days) won them the Uber deal that changed everything • The IOU system that kept co-founders loyal when there was literally no money • How to think like an investor seeking multiplication, not a founder seeking help • Why "the economy is bad" is a lie - money just changed hands, it didn't disappear • The exact documentation framework that attracts investment vs endlessly chasing it • The painful reality of equity vs debt - and why he'd choose debt if starting over • Why working backwards from desired profit beats hoping for organic growth • The mentor advantage he didn't have - and why it cost him years of unnecessary grinding From selling phones at UTC Accra in secondary school to building multiple ventures, Francis demonstrates that raising funds isn't about crafting sob stories - it's about presenting data that shows clear paths to multiplication. He challenges the notion that there's no money in Ghana, revealing instead that there's "loose money" everywhere, desperately seeking documented opportunities to grow. The episode takes an unexpected turn as Francis discusses building business with his wife, emphasizing that communication and understanding trump everything else in partnership. He shares the painful decision to close a flashy shop after 11 months when data showed delivery donuts outsold everything else - proving that listening to market data beats emotional attachment to ideas. This isn't another generic fundraising tutorial - it's the unvarnished truth about what it takes to attract investment in African markets, including the mistakes that cost founders their companies, the systems that separate fundable businesses from eternal ideas, and why most Ghanaian businesses fail because they never listen to what the market is actually telling them.

Send us a textWhat if the confidence you've been chasing is really a mask that's wearing you down? I open up about imposter syndrome, fear of rejection, and the years I used alcohol and drugs to feel like I belonged. The stories aren't pretty—Vegas couches, dangerous company, and the slow erosion of self-worth—but they're true, and they explain why shortcuts to confidence always collapse.Sobriety didn't magically erase my doubts; it gave me clear ground to do the work. I talk through the humbling season of losing jobs, driving Uber to keep moving, and learning to accept where I am instead of clinging to a fantasy of where I should be. We get into practical tools: using transcendental meditation to sit still and face hard truths, putting action behind prayer, and choosing surrender over force so progress doesn't rely on white-knuckling everything alone. I share how making amends—especially around a stalled AI venture—helped loosen the grip of imposter thoughts and made selling from service feel possible again.You'll also hear why real community matters. Recovery gave me people who show up, no questions asked, and that kind of support flips the script on isolation. Along the way, a carful of executives reminded me that even polished professionals wrestle with the same fears. If you're leaning on alcohol or weed to outrun rejection, consider this a clear warning: the bill comes due, and it's brutal. There's a better path built on honesty, small daily actions, and faith that meets you halfway.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with someone who needs it, and leave a quick review.

Join the conversation and connect with fellow listeners in our new Telegram community -https://bit.ly/BecomeNomad  In this episode of Become Nomad, hosts Eli and Dan explore one of the most fascinating aspects of travel: understanding the national psyche. Drawing from their experiences in countries such as Singapore, Thailand, and the United States, they discuss how culture, pace, and mindset shape the way societies operate and what those differences can teach us about adapting as travelers.They also introduce two of their favorite mental models for interpreting culture: the Escalator Approach, a way to understand how societies move collectively toward progress, and the Uber Test, a quick lens for sensing how a country approaches service, efficiency, and social interaction. By the end of the conversation, Eli and Dan reflect on how these insights help them and their listeners see beyond surface impressions, recognizing the deeper mental patterns that define each place. Join them as they unpack what it truly means to understand a country not through its landmarks but through its mindset.

Seattle just elected a socialist mayor who literally lives off her parents' money because she can't afford the city she wants to run. You can't make this stuff up! Katie Wilson promises to make Seattle affordable while borrowing cash from mom and dad to survive in the nation's most expensive city for takeout, Uber, gas, and restaurants. We dive into how Seattle became #1 in every expensive category thanks to decades of progressive policies, and now they're doubling down with straight-up socialism. Wilson's platform includes "progressive revenue" (translation: tax businesses into oblivion), affordable housing (spoiler alert: it won't happen), and "Trump-proofing" Seattle (from what exactly?). How do you think this experiment will go when socialist ideology has literally never worked anywhere? Will businesses flee faster than they already are? Can you make housing affordable by taxing construction companies out of existence? Get your popcorn ready - this is going to be entertaining to watch, just not for Seattle residents.

Join us as Ric chats with Chris Malek of the Dub Dee Dub Revue Podcast as he shares his fresh-off-the-runway stories from his recent trip to Florida from Chicago. The guys talk about why you should always show up on time for your flight, even if the board says "DELAYED"—because as he learned, airlines can "un-delay" faster than Chris can say, "Wait… they're boarding NOW?" Then the conversation rolls into the Uber zone, where Chris reveals three lesser-known Uber features, including that nifty safety option that lets you record your ride—perfect for peace of mind, or for dramatic reenactments later. Chris shares his experience with scheduling ahead and rolling the dice on a "Share a Ride" feature (what kind of monster would do that is what Ric wants to know?), which has a surprising result. And of course—because no great travel story ends without a twist—Chris recounts a weird airport moment on his return trip that would've fit perfectly into the original Planes, Trains & Automobiles if Steve Martin needed one more reason to lose his mind. It's a casual episode, a useful one if you're traveling soon, and possibly the perfect show filler—with absolutely zero questionable pillow situations. We checked.

This is the follow-up you asked for! We're back with Bourbon Community Roundtable number 112 to continue tackling the "spicy" and controversial topic of the three-tier distribution system. Last time, we were bombarded with questions in the chat, so this episode is dedicated to answering your submissions. Our panel dives into how consumers can actually help their favorite smaller brands get distribution, offering real-world advice on retailer outreach and using social media for buzz. We then dissect what massive political or economic shift would be required to see meaningful reform. Finally, we debate the powerful question: if the whole system disappeared tomorrow, who would win—the hustling craft distilleries or the heritage brands with deep pockets?. This one is packed with high-stakes debate! Show Notes: A follow-up discussion on the three-tier distribution system, specifically addressing consumer-submitted questions Actionable ways consumers can help their favorite spirits brands get distribution, including direct retailer outreach and using social media to generate buzz An explanation of LibDib as an alternative, smaller avenue to market, particularly useful for single barrel programs and single-customer orders Analysis of the necessary political or economic shifts required for meaningful three-tier system reform The argument that major change is unlikely unless a strong economic interest or consumer-driven demand (similar to Uber or the push for cannabis legalization) forces it Discussion of the potential for a parallel direct-to-consumer (DTC) shipping system for spirits, mirroring the progress made in the wine industry following the Granholme v. Heald case A deep-dive debate on which segment of the industry—"hustling" craft distilleries or heritage brands with deep pockets—would adapt faster if the three-tier system were to disappear The argument that the biggest organizations control the power dynamic and maintain the status quo to protect their existing turf Encouragement for consumers to advocate for change by reaching out to their congressmen and congresswomen Support this podcast on Patreon Learn more about your ad choices.

BT & Sal tackle the grim reality of the Jets' Thursday Night Football matchup against the New England Patriots. Sal expresses a sliver of curiosity about the team's "competitiveness," but the consensus is brutal: the Patriots are one of the NFL's best, and the Jets are one of the worst. They slam the notion of a "momentum" build, pointing out the wins against the Bengals and Browns were due to luck and special teams, not a true team turnaround. BT says it will be a "bloodbath" and a "mismatch," arguing the bar for the Jets is simply to "not embarrass themselves." He challenges head coach Aaron Glenn to "empty the tank," calling for Uber-aggressive play and trick plays to narrow the overwhelming odds. The hosts also briefly transition to a heated discussion on whether the Yankees should trade Jazz Chisholm for the Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte.

39 procent. Dat is hoeveel winstgroei Disney ziet bij hun streamingafdeling. 12,5 miljoen mensen kozen afgelopen kwartaal voor een abonnement op Disney+ of Hulu. Ook bij de afdeling die over de pretparken, de cruisereizen en de merchandise gaat is het feest. Dus deelt Disney cadeautjes uit. Meer aandeleninkoop, en meer dividend. Maar toch zijn beleggers niet tevreden. Die zien vooral een terugloop in advertentie-inkomsten bij de tv-kanalen. Zijn beleggers verwend? Dat vragen we ons deze aflevering af. Dan gaat het ook over modehuis Burberry. Dat heeft eindelijk de smaak weer te pakken. Sinds de pandemie verschraalden de verkopen in China, maar er is weer sprake van groei! Maar is dat te danken aan de nieuwe strategie van Burberry, of hebben ze gewoon weer de wind in de rug in de hele sector? En je hoort over de zorgen van de Autoriteit Financiële Markten. Die ziet 'grote, complexe en ondoorzichtige risico's' door de enorme invloed van techbedrijven op die markten. En tot slot nog een prettig bericht, want je hoeft voorlopig het woord 'shutdown' niet meer te horen. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

James Oliver is the founder and CEO of Atlas Bar, one of America's fastest-growing protein bar companies, focused on clean, convenient, high-protein nutrition. What makes James' journey remarkable is how he built the business from absolutely nothing. To fund his first production run, James drove over 3,000 Uber rides while still in college, refusing outside investment, and sticking to his vision of clean, honest nutrition.Atlas Bars are a testament to that conviction: each bar packs 20 grams of protein, just 1 gram of sugar, and contains zero artificial ingredients. James didn't just talk about health and perseverance; he lived it, running 100 miles in six days with nothing but his own bars for fuel to prove they worked. Since those humble beginnings, Atlas Bar has sold millions of bars nationwide and hit over $1 million in sales within just two years, all powered by word of mouth and grit.Socials:Website: atlasbars.comInsta: Atlas Bars @atlasbarsLinkedIn: James Oliver FB: Atlas Bar Enjoy the visual here on Youtube

From writing IOUs to raising investment: The brutal truth about building a business with no money - and why giving away 50% equity almost cost everything. In this raw and revealing episode of Konnected Minds, Francis shares the untold story of building Doman from nothing - including writing IOUs to co-founders he couldn't pay, getting kicked out by a landlady for "causing too much rubbish," and how a single themed donut order for Uber led to their first investment round. The conversation exposes the brutal reality of raising funds in Africa: investors aren't looking to help you, they're looking to multiply their money. Francis reveals how most businesses fail at fundraising because they have everything in their heads but nothing documented - no sales ledgers, no expense tracking, no proof that money invested will grow. He shares the painful lesson of giving away over 50% equity to his first investor, losing ownership while fighting to remain CEO. "People change when money comes," he reflects, comparing it to getting married and having your spouse forget you exist once they make money. The episode takes a masterclass turn as Francis breaks down exactly what documents you need to attract investment: inventory records, production processes, customer acquisition data, and the financial story that becomes "music to investors' ears." Critical insights revealed: • Why the fastest response time (minutes, not days) won them the Uber deal • The IOU system that kept co-founders loyal when there was no money • How to think like an investor, not a founder seeking help • Why "economy is bad" just means money changed hands, not disappeared • The documentation framework that attracts investment vs chasing it • The costly mistake of not asking enough questions before taking investment From selling phones at UTC Accra in secondary school to building multiple businesses, Francis demonstrates that raising funds isn't about having a sob story - it's about having data that shows a clear path to multiplication. He challenges the notion that there's no money in Ghana, revealing instead that there's "loose money" everywhere, looking for documented opportunities to grow. This isn't another generic fundraising tutorial - it's the unfiltered truth about what it takes to attract investment in African markets, including the mistakes that cost founders their companies and the systems that separate fundable businesses from those that remain ideas in someone's head.

Welcome to Show Me The Money Club live show with Sergio and Chris Tuesdays 6pm est/3pm pst.

In this our second episode discussing work from poet Eli Karren, we're shifting timelines, story lines, wine time, and coffee time. We welcome special guest, Tobi Kassim, as part of the podcast team for the day. (We'll be “sprinkling” special guests throughout the upcoming season!)   We dig into Eli's richly detailed poem “Franchise Reboot” which nods to David Lynch's nineties TV phenom, Twin Peaks, along with the Museum of Popular Culture, Ikea furniture, Matthea Harvey's poem “The Future of Terror,” and Wandavision, among other touchstones.   The team questions some of the advice we've received on what should or should not be included in poems: dreams, color lists, center justification, cicadas. It's an airing of pet peeves, Slushies. And then we decide to get over ourselves. Tune in with a slice of cherry pie. As always, thanks for listening.   At the table: Tobi Kassim, Kathleen Volk Miller, Marion Wrenn, Lisa Zerkle, and Lillie Volpe (Sound Engineer)    @eli.james.karren on Instagram  Eli Karren is a poet and educator based in Austin, TX. His work can be found in the swamp pink, At Length, Palette Poetry, and the Harvard Review.   Franchise Reboot     We sat at the diner in Snoqualmie  quoting lines back and forth to each other. Saying what we could remember,  without fidelity, without  choosing a character or a scene.  We got the coffee, the cherry pie,  took pictures with a piece of wood  that the waitress passed across the bar,  cradling it like a newborn.    Earlier, we had gone to the waterfall,  and I confessed that I had been falling in love with a coworker.  Or rather, that it felt that way.  Melodramatic. Full of will they  won't they tension. You said, expertly, that that  was probably the only exciting thing about it.  That not everything in life  has to be a soap opera.    Later that night, when you went off  to chaperone a high school dance I saw a movie  about a woman who fucks a car.   Outside the theater, some guys smoked cigarettes and wondered aloud if originality was dead.  I told them that the only glimmer of the original is the terroir,  the local language, the dialect and vernacular.  All the shit you suppress when you move away from your childhood home. The things  you pay a therapist to excise from you in a room comprised only  of Ikea furniture.        On the long Uber back to your house I thought about the future of nostalgia, the car careening through downtown Seattle, past the Shawn Kemp Cannabis shop,  and the Museum of Pop Culture,  which held a laser light show on its lawn.    The whole drive I had the words  tangled in my brain and was trying to recite  Matthea Harvey's “The Future of Terror.”  I remembered only the generalissimo's glands  and the scampering, the faint sounds of its recitation humming below the car's looping advertisements  for Wandavision. In my head  the possibility of infinite worlds thrummed.   Once, at a farmers market,  I watched an elderly man wander through the stands,  past the kids playing with pinwheels and eating ice cream,  a VR headset strapped  to his face, his hat in his hand, the muffled sound of tears in his vicinity. I always wondered what he had seen.  What reduced him to tears on a May afternoon,  his hands splayed forward, a little drunk with sun  and regret, reaching out  towards something.   III.   This, I tend to gussy up at parties.  A lie I tell myself because I want  to believe in true love. As I say  in the diner the owls are not  what they seem. But at what point  does the false supercede the real?    When you came home, I was crying  on the couch, rewatching  its rejection of closure. Its protagonist catatonic  for sixteen hours, a walking  talking middle finger.  Just so we can have this moment  where he says the line  and has the suit and we hear the famous song  and are embraced again.  Seeing you, seeing old friends this is how I always feel.    Reminded of this pond deep in the woods. Somewhere I went to only once  but keep returning to  in dreams.  I remember how we hiked  an hour out and slipped below the water as the sun began to set. In the dream, sometimes  there is an island. Sometimes  we swim to its surface.  Sometimes the moon arises, its gravity pulling us deeper out above the blackness where the shale slips to the bottom. I'm never sure if it is when I sink into the water or exit  that I become someone else. Wake always with a lyric  on my lips. This  is the me I've missed.    The one that survives the factory reset, the franchise reboot. The one I dreamt of every morning when closure was something to be evaded, treated  like the cars in a Frogger game.  But not here, with you,  halfway across the country. If I grasp gently,  I can take the headset from my eyes.  I can almost see  where the red curtains part and the sycamores begin. 

When everyone can generate AI content, taste and storytelling are the new performance metrics. In this week's episode of Growth Talks, Everett Butler, Head of Marketing at Lindy, joins host Krystina Rubino to unpack what it takes to bring a brand-new product category to market when there is no roadmap, no search volume, and no shared language. With over fifteen years of experience scaling teams at Tesla, Uber, and Affirm, Everett shares how to apply first principles thinking to build a go-to-market strategy grounded in fundamentals, aligned with real customer needs, and focused on clarity over complexity. Tune in to learn the key traits Everett looks for in modern AI marketers — and why taste, product-led storytelling, and genuine curiosity are more valuable than ever.

It turns out, much like software development, doing legal work relies on learning specialized language and sifting through a dense and expansive corpus of information… making it an IDEAL use case for LLMs.Buuuuut AI works so fast… the current structure of legal payments (billable hours) no longer applies. Find out how Harvey is working around these challenges — and what they plan to do if OpenAI decides to get into the legal game — in this fascinating interview.THEN, Alex chats with another AI visionary — OpenRouter co-founder and CEO Alex Atallah — who allows developers to plug and play all the major models into their applications.
