Lauren Pinkston — the independent candidate for governor of Tennessee — joins the Chuck Toddcast to make the case that the deepest problem in her state isn't left versus right, it's the near-total absence of two-party competition that has allowed one-party rule to calcify into something genuinely unhealthy. Pinkston, who was raised in an evangelical environment where she was taught that voting Democrat meant going to hell, offers a fascinating personal and political journey: she lived in communist Laos where people were persecuted for their faith, which gave her a firsthand understanding of why the Founders deliberately kept Christianity out of the Constitution, and she's now running explicitly against the kind of Christian nationalism that teaches America was divinely ordained. She argues Citizens United is a major reason Tennessee became so uncompetitive, walks through the mechanical difficulties of mounting a serious independent campaign, and contends that Marsha Blackburn isn't nearly as strong a candidate as she thinks she is. The conversation digs into Pinkston's actual governing vision and her theory of how an independent can build a winning coalition in one of the reddest states in the country. She wants to reform education and make teaching a genuinely fun profession again, and she's passionate about the way Nashville soaks up all the state's political investment while Memphis gets neglected — pointing out that crime in Memphis is at a 20-year low yet the city still can't attract investment, and that St. Jude is struggling to recruit talent because of H1-B visa denials. Pinkston is candid about the structural obstacles: Tennessee's constitution doesn't even allow for ballot measures, the GOP holds a stranglehold on the statehouse, and Republican leadership has been kicking moderate candidates off the ballot entirely. But she argues there's a real opening — Republicans in the state are looking for an offramp that isn't a Democrat, and even staunch Democrats are frustrated with their own party. Pinkston is energized about working with the Working Families Party and the Forward Party to build toward a more moderate, genuinely competitive two-party system, argues this is the strongest group of independent candidates to run in years, and wonders aloud whether being "too educated" has perversely become a negative quality in a candidate. She closes with a sharp observation that cuts to the heart of the whole project: Americans demand more than two options for literally everything in their lives except politics, politicians increasingly rely on performance over substance, and the stakes couldn't be higher.

Chuck Todd opens with the resolution of a story he's been tracking for weeks: Graham Platner cruised to victory in Maine, comfortably clearing 70% even with Janet Mills' name still on the ballot — which he says means the scandals that had Platner in "save my campaign" mode turned out to be far less than a five-alarm fire. The deeper lesson, Chuck argues, is uncomfortable but revealing: for a significant share of Democratic primary voters, high character has become a luxury item, because the base is so exhausted by losing and capitulating to the establishment that it will forgive a flawed candidate who actually seems willing to fight. He notes that Maine has gotten meaningfully bluer since Susan Collins was last on the ballot (Harris underperformed nationally but actually drew more raw votes in Maine than Biden did), that a generic Democrat should win this seat by six or seven points, and that the only real question left is how many squeamish Democrats sit the race out rather than pull the lever for Platner. He runs through the rest of the night — Lindsey Graham narrowly avoided a runoff in South Carolina, the GOP gubernatorial race there is headed to a runoff that knocked out both Nancy Mace and Ralph Norman — and pulls back to identify the defining theme of the entire 2026 cycle: everyone, in both parties, is running on a message of change, with no candidate anywhere running on restoration the way Biden did in 2020. The messaging this cycle is relentlessly future-focused, the exact opposite of Trump's nostalgia, and Chuck reiterates his running observation that the worst possible first name to have in politics right now is "congressman" — because Washington experience carries zero value to voters this cycle. The split-screen between the parties remains stark: Republican voters still reward confrontation while Democratic primary voters are gravitating toward electability and consensus, Democratic turnout is rising while GOP turnout is flat or falling, and the throughline that's held for a decade is only intensifying — voters are demanding major change, and they'll punish anyone who doesn't offer it. Then, Lauren Pinkston — the independent candidate for governor of Tennessee — joins the Chuck Toddcast to make the case that the deepest problem in her state isn't left versus right, it's the near-total absence of two-party competition that has allowed one-party rule to calcify into something genuinely unhealthy.

This week, Pastor Jim walks us through 1 Samuel 27, 29, and 30, as David faces a season of uncertainty, difficult decisions, and unexpected setbacks. After seeking refuge among the Philistines, David finds himself in a complicated situation, yet God continues to guide and protect him. When disaster strikes at Ziklag, David responds by seeking the Lord and finding strength in Him before taking action. These chapters remind us that even in our lowest moments, God is faithful, and true strength is found by turning to Him first.Text: 1 Samuel 27, 29, 30 Recorded: May 31, 2026

Love Island Daily June 2, 2026 Love Island USA Season 8 kicks off with a premiere packed full of new faces, bold moves, and a villa already stirred by early drama. Kirsten MacInnis delivers the Daily update, walking through the cast's standout introductions, the season's first wild group challenge, and a twist that immediately tests the original couples. The women make their entrance with big personalities and even bigger stories, from Kenzie's dance and nursing background to Beatriz' shiny Paralympic credentials and Trinity's unapologetic “personality hire” vibes. The men follow with connections to track and field, police work, and model bravado, setting the stage for interesting pairings. A rapid-fire kissing challenge quickly makes things awkward and unforgettable, especially for Bryce, whose “turtle tongue” technique is called out by Kenzie. First-day couplings deliver surprises, awkward mismatches, and more than a little anxiety as Islanders pair up or end up chosen by default. Major shakeups arrive fast with a twist-led re-coupling: Islanders must choose whether to stay in their pair or step forward to explore. The drama ramps up as two bombshells, Gabriel and Kayda, crash the villa, promptly splitting couples and turning heads, especially when the newcomers choose who to whisk away for private time, leaving everyone else reeling. Kenzie frets over Zach's lack of blonde dating history, throwing their couple into question Sincere's popularity sparks early competition at the coupling door The kissing challenge exposes both chemistry and cringe, especially with Bryce's infamous approach Trinity and Bryce face off over a seven-year age gap and different priorities Gabriel and Kayda arrive, immediately forcing Islanders to reveal loyalty or intrigue Loyalties get tested just as everyone settles in—who will play it safe, and who's open to fast change? New couples and broken connections hint at more shake-ups to come.

Pride is back, baby — and, as always, Pride is political. That's why we've decided to dedicate our whole 2026 lineup to Trans Pride and raising money for organizations like the Transgender Law Center, and we're kicking this party off with Queens of the Dead (2025). Directed by Tina Romero, daughter of Night of the Living Dead creator George A. Romero, this flick follows in the family tradition as it focuses a zombie outbreak on the queer nightlife scene. With an incredible ensemble cast that features performers like Katy O'Brian, Jaquel Spivey, Jack Haven, Dominique Jackson, and Margaret Cho, this monster movie will have you believing in the power of both calling on your community and lip syncing for your life. This month, we're donating all of our proceeds to non-profit organizations dedicated to helping and protecting the trans community. You can help by participating in our Instagram fundraiser benefiting Transgender Law Center, joining our Patreon, or streaming both old and new episodes through the end of June.

Tourism marketing often gets reduced to beautiful beaches, drone shots and generic aspiration. Susan Coghill has spent years proving that isn't enough.In this episode of That's What I Call Marketing, Conor sits down with the CMO of Tourism Australia to explore how one of the world's most recognisable destination brands thinks about salience, creativity, distinctive assets and long-term brand building in an increasingly competitive global market.Susan shares the story behind Tourism Australia's hugely successful “Come and Say G'Day” platform, why Ruby the Kangaroo became such a powerful brand asset, and how the organisation balances consistency with freshness across markets including the US, UK and China.The conversation also explores Susan's fascinating career journey from working at Apple during the “Think Different” era, including delivering creative work directly to Steve Jobs in Hawaii, through to leading one of the most admired tourism brands in the world.Along the way, they discuss:Why Australian marketers consistently punch above their weight globallyThe role of salience and mental availability in destination marketingWhy tourism brands often fall into category samenessThe importance of distinctive assets like Ruby the KangarooHow Tourism Australia approaches talent partnerships with figures like Nigella Lawson and Robert IrwinWhat modern tourism marketing can learn from entertainment and social mediaHow AI discoverability is changing brand strategy and search behaviourWhy consistency compounds in marketingThis is a conversation about much more than tourism.

In this episode, Dr. K explores the scientific reality of post-nut clarity and its often-ignored counterpart, pre-nut fog. He explains how the neurochemical shift from a dopamine-driven "search" to an opioid-mediated "bliss" fundamentally alters your ability to focus, assess risk, and silence the internal critic that often holds you back from your goals. What to expect in this episode: The Clarity Reality: Why post-nut clarity is a profound neurological state where the mind becomes super clear, less distracted, and significantly more motivated to focus on tasks. The Dopamine Fog: How "pre-nut" cravings create a "brain rot" that impairs your decision-making and risk assessment in areas of life completely unrelated to sexuality. The Opioid Flood: Understanding why an orgasm feels like a "floating bliss" and how this flood actually inhibits dopamine signaling, essentially cleaning your mental slate of distractions. Subliminal Triggers: A look at research showing it takes as little as 26 milliseconds of sexual stimuli—too fast for the conscious mind to register—to light up your brain's lust pathways. Silencing the Inner Critic: How the opioid surge effectively shuts down ruminative, self-referential thinking, allowing you to be present without worrying about past mistakes or future failures. The Serotonin Boost: Why the post-orgasmic state leads to improved self-esteem and a sense of contentment, helping to reduce the anxiety that makes daily functioning difficult. Post-Nut Armor: How the temporary blunting of the dopaminergic circuitry creates an "armor" against your usual distractions, making you "strongest" for the tasks you are actually passionate about. The "No-Fap" Problem: Why abstaining from sexual activity may not be enough to clear your mind if underlying lust continues to cloud your dopamine circuits.

We are joined by Harvard researcher, author of The Win-Win Workplace, and founder of Future Forward Strategies, Dr. Angela Jackson, to discuss how organizations can redesign work to strengthen both employee well-being and business performance.  Backed by research across more than 1,700 companies, Dr. Jackson makes a clear, data-driven case for human-centered leadership. She reveals how organizations that invest in employees through practices such as centering worker voice, reimagining benefits, and fostering inclusive innovation see improvements not only in employee morale but also in performance. These strategies directly impact retention, engagement, and long-term financial success, reframing well-being as business-critical, not optional.  Dr. Jackson shares how understanding employees' lived realities, such as caregiving responsibilities and access to childcare, directly impacts retention and performance. She offers a concrete example of a company that introduced on-site childcare after identifying it as a key barrier for employees, resulting in a 98% retention rate among women during the pandemic.  Dr. Angela Jackson is a leading voice on the future of work and CEO of Future Forward Strategies, a labor market intelligence firm focused on helping organizations grow through continuous learning and innovation. A lecturer and researcher at Harvard University, she equips executives with practical strategies to build high-performing workplaces that strengthen engagement, productivity, and long-term growth. Her work has appeared in Harvard Business Review and Stanford Social Innovation Review, and she is frequently featured in The New York Times, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, Fortune, BBC, and The Economist. She has spoken at TED, South by Southwest, and ASU GSV. Previously, Dr. Jackson was managing partner at New Profit, where she launched the Future of Work Grand Challenge, reskilling 25,000 workers into living-wage jobs. She began her career in global leadership roles at Viacom and Nokia. Her debut book, The Win-Win Workplace, is a New York Times bestseller.  Tune in for real-world examples that shift toward more inclusive, responsive, and adaptive workplace cultures where well-being, performance, and innovation are mutually reinforced.

What if love isn't just sweet and soft? What if it's actually the strongest force for good, for change? In this final episode of my LOVE series, I'm talking about why love changes people in ways pressure, fear, shame, criticism, control, and consequences never can. As parents, partners, and humans, we often try to create change by pushing harder, worrying more, managing outcomes, or protecting ourselves from disappointment. But real, lasting change doesn't usually happen through force—it happens through safety, connection, truth, and love. I'll share why love is not passive, permissive, or weak. Love holds boundaries. Love sees clearly. Love invites growth. And love- especially when it's grounded and mature, has the power to soften hearts, heal relationships, and create transformation in ourselves and the people we care about. This episode ties together everything we've explored in the LOVE series: loving ourselves, loving our teens, emotional regulation, connection, advocacy, flexibility, and showing up differently even when it's hard. Because in the end, love isn't just something we feel. It's something we practice. And it may be the most powerful catalyst for change we have. To more fully understand, embrace and implement what I teach, book a free Discover Your Disconnection Pattern call with me. There is a legitimate reason you're feeling stuck, broken, or are hurting. I will help you discover it so that you can heal it. I firmly believe that your struggles can become your strength. Let me show you how. xoxo

Australia's unemployment rate has climbed to its highest level since late 2021, with nearly 19,000 jobs lost and youth unemployment on the rise, raising fresh questions about the economic outlook and the path for interest rates. Deloitte Access Economics partner Stephen Smith breaks down what's driving the shift and what it means in a climate of global uncertainty and elevated borrowing costs. Meanwhile, the sharemarket surged, with the ASX 200 posting its strongest gain in six weeks, lifted by materials, banks and real estate, as Heath Moss from HLM Investments unpacks what's behind the rally and whether it can last.

The local market plunged 1.3% to a seven-week low, dropping beneath the critical 8,500 psychological barrier.

She's a Disney World regular, a DVC owner, and a self-proclaimed Disney nerd who went from cruise skeptic to Disney Cruise Line Gold in under two years. But until recently, Heather had never made the pilgrimage to Disneyland, the park where Walt's presence still feels close enough to touch. Her first walk down Main Street sets the tone fast: the light in Walt's apartment, the fire station, the windows, the castle, and the immediate realization that nostalgia hits differently in Anaheim, even on your first visit.We dig into what it's like to plan a first time Disneyland trip when you're used to the scale of Walt Disney World, including how a compact park map can feel intimidating until you learn the flow. Heather shares how her friends built a detailed touring plan with Lightning Lane strategy, why rope drop to close is both effective and brutal, and which attractions truly outshine their Florida counterparts. The ride comparisons get specific, from a longer and richer Pirates of the Caribbean to the real stretching room elevator at Haunted Mansion, plus a candid look at how tighter sightlines can sometimes break immersion.Then we go where every great Disney planning conversation eventually goes: food. Heather talks churros (California wins, no contest), quick-service favorites, Cozy Cone cravings, and a jaw-dropping anniversary surprise that includes dinner at Club 33 during an Alice in Wonderland overlay. We wrap with the big Disneyland vs Disney World question: which one is better at heartstrings, and which one still wins as the ultimate vacation destination.

What if the strongest thing you can do… is talk about it? In this powerful episode of Truth Be Told, Pasha Palanker shares his extraordinary journey from Soviet immigrant to decorated U.S. Army veteran — and the invisible battle that followed him home. After surviving roadside bombs, earning two Purple Hearts and a Bronze Star with Valor, and serving in some of the most dangerous combat environments in Iraq, Pasha opens up about the trauma, anger, PTSD, isolation, and mental health struggles he spent years hiding. He explains how survival instincts that once saved his life in combat nearly destroyed his relationships, his identity, and his future. This conversation goes beyond military stories. It's an honest discussion about trauma, emotional resilience, veteran mental health, leadership, stigma, healing, and the courage it takes to ask for help. Dave Thompson and Pasha explore topics like PTSD recovery, suicide prevention, emotional intelligence, therapy, journaling, resilience, trauma-informed communication, and why so many veterans and first responders suffer in silence. Whether you're in the military, law enforcement, leadership, mental health advocacy, or simply trying to navigate your own struggles, this episode is a raw reminder that strength doesn't come from pretending you're okay — it comes from facing the truth. Follow Pasha on Instagram! Truths: Trauma doesn't always show up immediately — sometimes the hardest battle begins after coming home. Survival instincts that protect people in high-stress environments can become destructive when they follow them into everyday life. Isolation fuels trauma. Healing often begins with honest conversation and human connection. Taking responsibility for your mental health is different than blaming yourself for what happened. Strength is not pretending to be okay — it's having the courage to confront the truth about yourself. Presence and empathy are more powerful than trying to “fix” someone's pain. Recovery isn't one breakthrough moment. It's built through small actions, consistency, community, and purpose.

"This is the strongest and most resilient market I've ever seen," says Eddie Ghabour, "and it's also the most hated." He expects pullbacks ahead for the stock market but sees dips getting bought "aggressively." That said, Eddie warns investors should take caution even when expressing confidence this price action can continue. The biggest macro issue he sees hitting markets: climbing inflation concerns. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

On October 7, 2023, Rachel Goldberg-Polin's son Hersh was taken from the Nova Music Festival into Gaza. For 330 days, she and her husband John fought to bring him home; meeting with world leaders, speaking at the UN, and wearing a piece of tape on their chests with the changing number of days he'd been held captive. Hersh was murdered in captivity on day 330. In this raw and unforgettable conversation, Rachel sits down with Danielle to talk about her new book When We See You Again (NYT bestseller).

Beth Barnes and David Rein on the one graph that ate the AI timelines discourse, and why the two people who built it are the most careful about how you read it.**SPONSOR**Prolific - Quality data. From real people. For faster breakthroughs.https://www.prolific.com/?utm_source=mlstInterview: https://youtu.be/cnxZZTl1tkk---Beth Barnes and David Rein from METR on the one graph that ate the AI timelines discourse, and why the people who built it are the most careful about how it gets read.Beth founded METR after leaving OpenAI alignment. David is first author on GPQA and co-author on HCAST and the METR Time Horizons paper. Together they built the measurement Daniel Kokotajlo called the single most important piece of evidence on AI timelines: the log-linear line of "how long a task a frontier model can complete at 50% reliability" vs release date.The conversation opens on reward hacking. Current models can articulate in chat why a behaviour is undesired and then execute it anyway as agents. From there: construct validity, Melanie Mitchell's four-problem taxonomy, and the ARC-AGI 1-to-2 collapse as a worked example of adversarially-selected benchmarks regressing once labs target them. Beth's counter: METR deliberately does not adversarially select. David's: models do not have to do the right thing for the right reasons.Methodology, then specification — David's compiler analogy, Beth on four-month tasks as expensive to evaluate rather than unspecifiable. Then the SWE-bench reality check, the METR finding that half of passing PRs would not be merged, and Beth's horses-versus-bank-tellers analogy for the labour market.The close: monitorability, the coin-spinning boat, two-year recursive self-improvement, and Beth's line that "overhyped now" and "big deal later" are not correlated claims.---TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 Intro00:02:06 Sponsor break: Prolific human-feedback infrastructure00:02:33 Welcome and the scalable oversight motivation00:06:02 Construct validity, benchmark pathologies and the Chollet worry00:15:45 Time Horizons: human time, HCAST tasks and the 50% logistic00:24:50 Is human difficulty really one variable?00:33:05 Agent harness evolution and the inference-compute dividend00:40:00 Scaffolding bells, token budgets and the credit-assignment problem00:44:15 Look at the damn graph: regularisation bug and reliability nuance00:50:00 Why 50%?

Business is not a spectator sport…although shouldn't you be curious why THG Nutrition just delivered its strongest start to a year since 2021? THG (aka the company formerly known as The Hut Group) recently updated the public markets by releasing its Q1 2026 trading statement. I'll be utilizing all available publicly disclosed information to obviously update you on the recent performance of THG Nutrition division, which includes the world's largest online sports nutrition brand MyProtein, but also utilize everything as the contextual backdrop for my expanded strategic commentary around global sports nutrition market dynamics and trends. Additionally, due to the THG Ingenuity demerger action occurring at the end of 2024, the up-to-date THG portfolio configuration now would be described as a global, cash generative, health and wellness consumer brands group. During the first quarter of 2026, THG Nutrition revenue was approximately $217 million, which increased 8.8% YoY. THG Nutrition delivered its fifth consecutive quarter of revenue growth. Moreover, momentum was said to be broad-based across categories outside of the core protein range, especially in activewear and creatine. But I'll dive into several strategic decisions impacting MyProtein including its global digital sales channel strategy, offline retail expansion efforts, product licensing strategy, and let's just say A LOT is riding on the success of the MyProtein global rebrand that started its initial staggered market rollout two years ago. Myprotein maintained its leading position as the largest UK sports nutrition brand. THG Nutrition still mainly deploys a global digital-first commerce strategy, with around 80% of its total revenue coming from direct-to-consumer, online marketplaces, and social commerce…but MyProtein has continued to invest in offline retail partnerships where it places a limited (or exclusive) SKU range as part of a bigger demand generation strategy. Although the most highlighted commercial strategy (utilized for offline retail expansion) continues to surround the development of MyProtein products that are sold under licensing arrangements. When done correctly, these types of retail partnerships boost customer touchpoints and broaden brand appeal. Nonetheless, this ambitious level of offline retail expansion globally will undoubtedly help drive a more diversified retail mix over the next few years. Equally, MyProtein continues to lean heavily into international product collaborations. And obviously, while that includes THG Nutrition recently expanding successful dietary supplement categorical examples (like with global confectionary giant Mars Incorporated), I'd rather mention the recent launch of the Myprotein x Champion collaboration, as MP activewear is reportedly continuing to deliver exceptional growth, with annualized run-rate sales fast approaching $140 million. Yet, it's the margin accretive aspect of MP activewear that's maybe most helpful right now, as THG Nutrition attempts to mitigate elevated whey protein input prices.

Jason Marburger of Fireball Tool returns for our annual conversation — and he's not pulling punches. We dig into the public feud between Fireball, Sigmund, and Quantum Machinery over fixture table claims, why "world's strongest welding table" needs data to back it up, and Jason's push to standardize testing across the industry. He also walks us through the grinding disc performance guide his shop spent months producing, the surprising winners (the $2.50 Steel Savage, the new 3M Cubitron 3), and why pressure — not RPM — is what most welders are getting wrong. Plus a preview of what Fireball is rolling out at FabTech Vegas, including a 1,800-pound blacksmith vise, theft-proof service truck vises, and the new Mystic Square. Show Notes A wide-ranging conversation with Jason Marburger, founder of Fireball Tool, covering fixture table testing, the abrasives industry, tool design philosophy, and what it takes to back up your marketing claims with real data. Topics covered in this episode: The Sigmund / Quantum / Fireball Instagram beef and why "world's strongest welding table" needs proof How Jason tests fixture tables — flex, deflection, three-leg sag — and why every table company should publish numbers 3D printing scale models of fixture tables so customers can flex-test before they buy Why BuildPro set the bar for value and how Fireball's Pro Kit table competes at $500-$600 The made-in-USA vs. overseas manufacturing struggle for tool companies Fireball's new 1,800-pound blacksmith vise — 30-inch throat, $7K-$8K, built to last 100 years Drilling 800 holes in a Fireball vise to handicap it against a Wilton (and why marketing is the hardest part of the job) The Ultimate Grinding Performance Guide — 65 flap discs tested, charted, and ranked Why the cheap Steel Savage discs outperform mid-tier name brands at $2.50 a piece Cubitron 3 first-look: 3M's 50% claim is real The 4-to-8-pound pressure sweet spot every grinder operator should know The myth of slowing the grinder down to save the disc Mill scale removal — Walter strip discs vs. 3M's new offering How to deglaze a flap disc with a propane torch (do this when the boss isn't looking) Gloves around rotating equipment: the case for situational awareness over blanket rules A pitch for a head-to-head welding glove comparison series FabTech Vegas preview: new sawhorses, the Mystic Square, theft-proof service truck vises, and the blacksmith vise on the load cell Find Jason at fireballtool.com and on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook @fireballtool.
