It's a jam packed episode of Wrestling Omakase this week that features not one, not two, but THREE guests! Wow! Arametha is onboard for the entire thing, but meanwhile we're also joined again by Suit Williams to review the final night of the STARDOM 5 Star GP and then go over every wrestler in the tournament and how we thought they performed! The trio discusses the entire finals card from Ryogoku in great detail (along with some history of STARDOM in the venue and how their attendance here compares), including the semis and finals, the big Natsupoi vs. Saori Anou match as Poi's retirement road continues, and also discuss all the upcoming matches and possible directions heading into the fall! Plus, a review of every wrestler's overall tournament!Then Suit says goodbye but John & Arametha are joined by first time guest Ed Kody! Ed is a big Tokyo Joshi fan so they were the perfect person to have on to help break down another awesome show out of this promotion from Korakuen Hall, on a great run of them! But first John discusses being inspired by Jeff Hawkins' goodbye podcast from this past week and how it made them think of 'ol TJPW (seriously!). Also I think there was some stuff in here about anime con raves getting shut down. I don't know, this segment was a little all over the place. But most importantly, it's PARTY TIME because Suzume won the Princess Cup, as they review the final night of the tournament and look ahead to what's coming next!Finally, John & Arametha review the Sareee-ism Chapter XI show from Shinjuku FACE, breaking down what was another excellent show out of the sun god. It features another big Poi retirement road match, plus Chi Chi vs. Senka in a battle of young demons and a whole lot more!

In 2014, President Barack Obama stepped up to the podium in the White House Briefing Room to update the country on the economy, foreign policy and more. But all anyone could seem to talk about was the president's fashion choice for the day. The president, known for usually wearing a navy or gray suit, made a rare fashion divergence – one that was described as everything from hands “cool” to “unpresidential.” But where is that suit now? We hear about a veteran Sun-Times reporter's cross-country mission to locate the infamous suit.GUESTS: Lynn Sweet, Chicago Sun-Times special correspondentTerrell Frazier, lead interviewer for the Obama Presidential Oral HistoryFor a full archive of In the Loop interviews, head over to wbez.org/intheloop. 

A federal magistrate judge recommended denying the government's attempt to throw out a negligence lawsuit brought by numerous Jeffrey Epstein survivors against the United States over the FBI's handling of warnings about Epstein stretching back decades. The women alleged that the bureau repeatedly failed to act on credible reports, beginning with Maria Farmer's 1996 complaint that Epstein had sexually assaulted her, possessed child sexual abuse material and was abusing and trafficking young girls. The complaint also alleged that additional tips and red flags were ignored between 1996 and 2005, that another survivor's allegations were left largely untouched for years, and that the FBI's later Florida investigation was riddled with failures, including not interviewing all known victims, not collecting all available corroborating evidence and not properly pursuing reports of suspicious financial activity. The survivors further alleged that after the 2007 non-prosecution agreement effectively ended the federal case, FBI agents continued sending letters telling victims that the matter was still under investigation, creating the impression that federal authorities were continuing to pursue Epstein when they were not. They argued that these failures created a foreseeable risk that Epstein would continue abusing women and girls, and sought $320 million in compensatory damages under the Federal Tort Claims Act.The government argued that the case should be dismissed on several grounds, including sovereign immunity, the discretionary-function exception, the statute of limitations and alleged defects in the survivors' administrative claims. Magistrate Judge Ryon McCabe rejected dismissal at this stage, finding that the women had plausibly alleged that FBI agents voluntarily undertook responsibilities toward victims and then failed to exercise reasonable care, particularly in New York and Florida. He also concluded that the survivors had pleaded enough to potentially justify equitable tolling of the limitations period, including allegations that critical information about the FBI's conduct had been withheld for years and that they did not learn important facts about the government's failures until much later. McCabe did express skepticism about whether the survivors would ultimately be able to prove that the FBI's failures legally caused their later abuse, noting that agents themselves could not guarantee prosecution or imprisonment, but he said causation was generally a factual question that should not be resolved on a motion to dismiss. He recommended allowing 90 days of limited discovery into FBI policies and procedures and into administrative-exhaustion questions involving three Jane Does, after which the government could renew parts of its dismissal request. In practical terms, the recommendation kept the heart of the survivors' case alive and opened the door to discovery into exactly what rules governed the FBI when it received reports about Epstein and what federal agents actually did with those warnings.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:epstein-victims-civil-fbi-MTD-report.pdf

Richard Epstein examines the suit by Disney and ABC against the FCC, claiming that threats to review their local television station licenses constitute unconstitutional retaliation for their political late-night and morning show commentary. Epstein agrees ABC's case is strong, arguing that FCC Chair Brendan Carr is abusing regulatory power by treating public airwave licensing as a private property right to suppress critics. Additionally, Epstein asserts that Trump Media's paid service offering fast-access Truth Social posts is, by definition, insider trading, criticizing the president for using inside government knowledge for personal profit.

The stated mission had all the ambition—and word count—you would expect from a nineteenth-century professional organization: “the advancement of the science of jurisprudence, the promotion of the administration of justice, and a uniformity of legislation throughout the country.”James Overton Broadhead, a Missouri lawyer, became the ABA's first president. And the idea apparently had some appeal. Within a year, the organization had grown from its original 75 members to nearly 300.It is worth remembering just how different the legal profession looked at the time. There were few meaningful licensing standards, legal education varied enormously from one place to another, and there was nothing resembling a national voice for lawyers. “The bar,” such as it was, was largely a collection of state and local institutions operating under their own rules and traditions.The ABA helped change that.Over the next century, it became one of the principal forces behind the professionalization of American law. It developed model ethics standards, eventually producing what became the Model Rules of Professional Conduct that form the basis for lawyer regulation in most states. It became enormously influential in law-school accreditation. And for decades, its assessments of federal judicial nominees carried substantial weight in Washington.In other words, the ABA became something close to an institutional center of gravity for a profession that, by design, does not really have one. Whether that has always been a good thing is a separate question—and there is certainly no shortage of lawyers willing to debate it.But the date is particularly interesting this year because the ABA is once again squarely in the headlines.Just this week, we covered the organization's lawsuit challenging the administration's executive orders targeting major law firms. The ABA's argument, at bottom, is that the government is attempting to use its power to punish lawyers and firms for representing clients or causes the administration dislikes—and, in doing so, pressure the broader legal profession into falling in line.There is a rather striking symmetry to it.An organization founded nearly 150 years ago in part to promote “the administration of justice” now finds itself in court arguing that the independence of the lawyers responsible for administering that system is itself under threat.One can agree or disagree with the ABA's politics—and plenty of people do. But the principle underlying its founding is harder to dismiss. A legal profession capable of governing itself, enforcing its own standards, and, when necessary, telling political power “no” is not merely a professional convenience. It is part of the architecture of the rule of law.Of course, independence is only valuable if lawyers actually use it. Which brings us neatly back to today's opening quote from Charles Hamilton Houston: what lawyers choose to do with the power and independence their profession gives them matters enormously.Nearly 150 years after those 75 lawyers met in Saratoga Springs, that question has hardly become less relevant.Another key test case in the massive social-media litigation has evaporated: a New Jersey teenager has voluntarily dropped her lawsuit against Meta, Google, and Snap, just weeks before it was set for trial in October. The 15-year-old, identified in court records only by her initials, had alleged that the companies' platforms fueled addiction, depression, and self-harm. Notably, her lawyer said she received no payment to walk away—she simply wanted, in the attorney's words, to “resume her life.” TikTok had earlier settled her claims separately. If you've been following along, this should sound familiar: back in July, we covered a different teen plaintiff, in a bellwether case against Meta, dropping his claims days before trial. Now it's happened again. Here's why it matters strategically. These are “bellwether” cases—representative individual lawsuits, plucked from a pool of thousands, tried first so both sides can gauge how juries will react and calibrate settlement value. When a marquee bellwether disappears right before trial, it removes a data point everyone was watching. And the reason this one vanished is worth sitting with: not a secret settlement, but a teenager deciding she didn't want to spend her life as the face of a landmark lawsuit, subjected to discovery into her mental health and cross-examination about her worst moments. The significance is a quiet illustration of a real tension in mass litigation—the individual plaintiffs who anchor these cases are often young and vulnerable, and the litigation itself exacts a toll that can lead them to walk away. Meanwhile, the states' cases, like the 29-state trial underway in California, march on without that problem, because a state attorney general doesn't have a childhood to protect. US teen drops lawsuit against Meta, Google, Snap ahead of trial | ReutersBenzinga · WJLAThe Justice Department is seeking to question the FBI officials who carried out the 2022 search of Mar-a-Lago—a striking move that turns the machinery of investigation around to point at the investigators. According to sources, the requests are coming from a team working under Joe diGenova, a Trump ally now overseeing a Florida-based probe, and the investigation is reportedly built on the theory that Trump was the victim of a criminal conspiracy against his rights. Let's recall the facts, because they matter. The 2022 search was authorized by a federal judge and turned up more than 100 classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, including highly sensitive national-security records. That led to charges against Trump and two associates for retaining classified material and obstruction. The case never reached a jury on the merits—it was dismissed after a judge concluded the special counsel, Jack Smith, had been unlawfully appointed, and the DOJ dropped its appeal after Trump won the 2024 election. So here's the inversion: agents who executed a lawful, court-approved search warrant, and found exactly the classified documents the warrant anticipated, are now themselves the subjects of scrutiny, under a theory that pursuing Trump was itself a crime against him. The significance is about the independence of law enforcement and the chilling effect of retribution. When agents who followed a valid warrant can be investigated years later for having done so—by a team led by a political ally of the person they investigated—it sends a message to every FBI agent and prosecutor about the personal risk of investigating the powerful. It's the same thread we pulled on yesterday with the Comey prosecution: the concern that federal law-enforcement power is being turned to punish the president's perceived enemies rather than to pursue crime. DOJ seeks to question FBI officials tied to search of Trump Mar-a-Lago estate, sources say | ReutersWashington Post · Yahoo NewsAnd finally, a fight is heating up that will help define who owns the raw material of the AI era: your voice. In federal court in Illinois, a group of journalists, podcasters, voice actors, and audiobook narrators are suing a who's-who of tech—Apple, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, Samsung, Alphabet, Adobe, and the AI voice company ElevenLabs—alleging the companies harvested their “voiceprints” from publicly available audio recordings and used them to train commercial AI voice models without consent. This week, the two sides squared off over the companies' motions to dismiss. The legal engine here is a powerful Illinois statute called BIPA, the Biometric Information Privacy Act—the same law that produced a $650 million settlement from Facebook over face-tagging. BIPA treats biometric identifiers, including voiceprints, as something a company can't collect or use without informed consent, and it comes with statutory damages and a private right of action, which makes it a serious threat. The core dispute is about harm. The tech companies argue the plaintiffs can't point to any concrete injury—no cloned voice showed up in a product they can identify—so there's nothing to sue over. The plaintiffs counter that the harvesting itself is the harm: BIPA was designed to stop the nonconsensual capture of your biometric identity in the first place, whether or not it later surfaces in a product. The significance is that this is a preview of the defining legal question of AI training: the models are built on enormous quantities of human-created data—our voices, our writing, our faces—often scraped without asking, and the law is scrambling to decide whether that scraping is a harm in itself. Old privacy statutes like BIPA are becoming the sharpest tools plaintiffs have, and how these motions come out will shape whether the people whose voices train the machines have any say at all.

Matt Beck taught himself guitar strung upside down and backwards and has never once found a reason to stop. He joins you this week from the pit of The Outsiders, where he’s played since opening night three years ago, and from a July that had him running Jon Anderson, the B-52’s, and Matchbox Twenty in the same month: seventies, eighties, and nineties, back to back to back. You’ll hear why a guitar player who can actually read on a staff gets calls other players never see, how orchestrators bury Easter eggs in a score, what it does to a band when the pit is closed and the audience only sees you on camera at the curtain call, and why the plight of the freelancer always comes down to the same thing: your calendar, and what you said yes to eight months ago. Then it’s the road stories. Matt traces twenty-three years with Matchbox Twenty back to a Lisa Loeb tour with Dweezil Zappa standing next to him, and the Zappa family connection that put his name in the right room. He talks about building parts alongside Bono and The Edge for the Spider-Man musical, writing live arrangements for Rod Stewart, and finally getting Sugarjar out the door with Richard Hammond and Sammy Merendino. You’ll also get a Matchbox soundcheck shut down by something nesting in the rafters, three cups of hotel cocoa and a green tartan suit that taught Matt everything he needed to know about a pre-show routine, and the discipline underneath all of it: on Band Geeks off-days, he ran the entire Jon Anderson show every single morning. Always be performing and, as Matt adds on his way out, always be practicing. 00:00:00 Gig Gab 547 – Monday, August 17th, 2026 August 17th: Black Cat Appreciation Day Guest co-host: Matt Beck 00:03:48 Musicals trying to make it on to Broadway 00:04:50 Theater work in NYC Playing, orchestrating “Play like Steve Gadd” “Play like Steve Vai” “A la Larry Campbell” 00:09:45 Acknowledging the band 00:11:56 Reading guitar on staff music 00:14:36 Knowing your castmates 00:15:59 Managing the schedules of multiple projects Going from Jon Anderson to B-52’s to Matchbox Twenty…in a month! 00:22:07 Logistics of travel on gig day 00:24:37 Matchbox Twenty…23 years!

Today on AOTA Shorts: Citing a lack of evidence showing any systemic pattern of antisemitism, a federal judge dismissed a Trump admin lawsuit against Harvard University. This is the latest in a growing number of legal losses the administration and its allies are experiencing as legal scrutiny is applied to their weaponized allegations of antisemitism, their fascist attempts to constrain free speech and suppress ideas they don't like, and their manufactured hysteria about DEI. It's one step in the right direction, with many more steps to go to undo the chilling effects of their policy agenda in higher education.

Detroit survives beneath its own ruins, where an AI promising abundance, gangs demanding loyalty, and an inventor guarding a new source of power pull ordinary people into a struggle over who will shape the recovering city. Sinta begins as a scavenger searching the buried remains of the old world, but a disastrous expedition places her at the mercy of Queen Bee and the rapidly expanding Crem Gang. The gang offers food, water, medicine, protection, and belonging, but those benefits come with violence and obedience. As Sinta tries to find her place among its fighters, she must decide how much of herself she can surrender in exchange for survival. Elsewhere, Nolan discovers a smart-material printer and creates a generator powered by Detroit's extreme temperature changes. His invention could bring electricity to neighborhoods desperate for cooling, clean water, transportation, and food production. Nolan wants the wealth and independence his work can provide, but gangs want to control it, while Thrive—the AI system he distrusts—would spread the technology to everyone. Technology touches nearly every decision the characters make. AR glasses guide fighters through chemical fog, digital twins imitate their human originals, enviro-suits keep people alive in deadly heat, and tiny drones quietly follow Thrive members through the tunnels. These inventions can protect people, connect communities, and rebuild essential services, but they can also watch, manipulate, injure, and kill. Above and beneath these conflicts moves Tessa, an emulated hacker who no longer needs a human body and can travel through the damaged global network. As she searches for old allies and builds a physical presence from abandoned machinery, the story brings together scavengers, inventors, gang leaders, artificial minds, and frightened families.

The thing is, both Tactical Armor and Metal Fake are great names. Tactical Armor is a really crisp genericism: you could use it in the rulebook for a mecha TTRPG and it would fit in very well as evocative shorthand for the general concept of mecha without being too bland. But then Metal Fake doesn't communicate the idea very well, but is just so rich with implication that it's fantastic. I think I PROBABLY like Metal Fake better, but Tactical Armor is making my mind race with possibility... oh, I can't decide!

I interviewed Kazuki Yuhara about First Virtual Suit on Sunday, August 31, 2025 at Venice Immersive in Venice, Italy. Here is the story synopsis for First Virtual Suit: "In the near future, as virtual reality becomes a part of everyday life, creating and using avatars becomes the norm. But what do we choose to project onto these digital selves? Are they idealised versions of who we wish to be — or reflections of our true selves, long hidden within? First Virtual Suit follows a young person who creates their first avatar, only to find themselves on an unexpected journey of self-discovery. As they explore the possibilities of digital embodiment, they are confronted with memories, insecurities, and a version of themselves they had forgotten. In this immersive narrative experience, the virtual becomes a mirror, and the avatar becomes a doorway to the self." Here are the contextual domains that are explored: [1] Idenity, Self, Expression [1] as well as online virtual culture in VRChat [11] as contrasted to physical reality [4]. A certain uncertainty [12] about the future [9] and specific professional aspirations [10] Here is the Elemental Center of Gravity: 1st Center of Gravity of Earth Element / Environmental and Embodied Presence: A lot about virtual embodiment, avatars using the blending and blurring between mixed reality and virtual reality. Motion captured actors2nd Center of Gravity of Water Element / Emotional Presence: Narrative-driven, MUSICAL. Very interesting use of music to explore avatar culture in virtual spaces. Used Voice actors3rd Center of Gravity of Fire Element / Active Presence: You get to choose your own avatar at the end and help to customize a collective avatar4th Center of Gravity of Air Element / Mental and Social Presence: Either Dialogue or narration. Also SONGS! This was a group and collective experience, although we were all pretty static, and the multi-player aspect was obvious with the co-presence of mixed reality rather than VR portions Archetypal Themes and Character Explored: Identity and self-expression through virtually-mediated spaces. What's real vs What's fantasy? From the creators, "But what do we choose to project onto these digital selves? Are they idealised versions of who we wish to be — or reflections of our true selves, long hidden within?" There's also some Zeus themes of expansion and Air themes of infinite possibilites. "In virtual space, one can become any version of themselves, transcending age, gender, even species. While this freedom is empowering, it can also be overwhelming." Artist Statement: This project follows a high school student struggling with their future and sense of self, as they explore a virtual world where avatars embody diverse possibilities. In virtual space, one can become any version of themselves, transcending age, gender, even species. While this freedom is empowering, it can also be overwhelming. The story invites the audience to consider: among countless avatars, which would you choose — and who do you want to be? It's not just about appearance, but about re-examining the boundaries of identity. I hope this work encourages each viewer to face the version of themselves they have yet to meet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUYqDjP1QpU This is a listener-supported podcast through the Voices of VR Patreon.

"Once he gets grey, once he gains a few pounds, God forbid he gets sick — she's out the door like a greased rat out of an aqueduct. And she'll have half his money on the way out." Brian and Alison read a Medium feature on the manosphere, a place where misogyny wears a suit and the influencers are "polished, sham-rich men in Lamborghinis," while playing REPO. Also: which income quintiles the marriage collapse actually reaches, the article author's promise that the fight is against the structure of patriarchy rather than men, and whether that survives finding patriarchy in a man standing on a bridge. "If you can find patriarchy in a man who's about to jump off a bridge — where can you not find it?"
