The new film Materialists, starring Dakota Johnson as a high-end matchmaker named Lucy, delves into the transactional and often delusional world of modern dating, particularly as experienced by her wealthy clients in New York City. While the movie aims to offer a sharp, even cynical, look at the pursuit of love, its portrayal of matchmaking and the expectations of potential mates has sparked strong reactions from real-life matchmakers.The core of the film's narrative, and a point of contention for many real matchmakers, lies in the delusion of the potential mates. Lucy's clients are often characterized by their highly specific, almost superficial, checklists for an ideal partner – focusing on attributes like height, net worth, and a perfect "image." This "build a bear" approach, as one matchmaker describes it, sets unrealistic expectations, leading clients to chase an unattainable ideal rather than seeking genuine connection. The film highlights how individuals, driven by the curated realities of social media and a culture of commodification, believe they can simply "recreate" a perfect partner.This delusion is not confined to the fictional world of Materialists but resonates deeply with everyday dating life. In a landscape saturated with dating apps and curated online profiles, individuals often fall into the trap of viewing potential partners as a collection of desirable traits rather than complex individuals. This "materialistic" approach to love, where people are "objectified" and "commodified," as writer-director Celine Song herself notes, fosters a superficial pursuit that often leads to disappointment and a struggle to find true compatibility.While some aspects of Lucy's dedication to her clients and her post-date follow-ups are recognized as realistic, real matchmakers largely critique Materialists for its unrealistic depiction of their profession. They point out that true matchmaking involves far more than simply fulfilling a checklist; it requires deep emotional intelligence, building trust, and often challenging clients' preconceived notions to help them find meaningful relationships. The film's emphasis on dramatic, ethically questionable scenarios (like stalking or the mishandling of client safety) further deviates from the professional standards and community-driven nature of the actual matchmaking industry. Ultimately, Materialists serves as a cinematic reflection on the often-delusional pursuit of the "perfect" partner in contemporary dating, highlighting the gap between idealized expectations and the messy, human reality of finding love.Contact KOP for professional podcast production, imaging, and web design services at http://www.kingofpodcasts.comSupport KOP by subscribing to his YouTube channel and search for King Of PodcastsFollow KOP on X or TikTok or LinkedIn @kingofpodcastsFind KOP's other programs, Podcasters Row… and the Wrestling is Real Wrestling Podcast and The Broadcasters Podcast at http://www.kingofpodcasts.comBuy KOP a Coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/kingofpodcastsDrop KOP a PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=3TAB983ZQPNVLDrop KOP a CashApp https://cash.app/$kingofallpodcastsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/depraved-and-debaucherous--5267208/support.

In this episode, I share my story and opinion on why most people should pursue body recomposition in order to learn more about themselves.

CRBL e de-al meu, din Pitești – orașul acela mic, dar plin de surprize, de unde, cum ne place să glumim, au pornit povești mari și oameni care fac și acum valuri în showbiz. Îl știu de ani buni, am împărțit momente, râsete și, uneori, chiar tăceri grele. CRBL e orice, dar nu SUPERFICIAL. Acum e pus la zid, dar vă invit să-l ascultați, căci în acest episode își pune sufletul pe masă în fața celor care l-au judecat. E o discuție și despre iubire, și despre dezamăgiri, divorț și prietenii încheiate brusc. Poate, ascultându-l, o să-l vedeți cum îl văd și eu.

In this episode, Buzz, Pye, and Scot engage in a lively discussion about the Democratic Party's challenges in connecting with male voters, particularly men of color. They explore cultural perceptions of men in politics, the importance of genuine conversations across political lines, and the economic implications of current fiscal policies. The conversation highlights the need for political parties to listen to and engage with their constituents rather than relying on superficial strategies. In this conversation, the speakers discuss various political issues, focusing on the importance of effective communication in politics, concerns about taxation and spending, the controversial practice of civil asset forfeiture, and the dynamics within the Republican Party in Georgia. They highlight the need for reform and the challenges faced by politicians in addressing these issues, particularly in relation to public trust and law enforcement. Takeaways The Democratic Party is struggling to connect with male voters, especially men of color. Cultural perceptions of men in politics often undermine their aspirations and needs. Political parties need to engage in genuine conversations with constituents. Superficial strategies will not effectively attract voters; authenticity is key. Economic concerns are becoming increasingly important in political discussions. The current fiscal policies may lead to significant debt issues in the future. Men are often portrayed in a negative light in political messaging. There is a need for sustained dialogue to understand diverse communities. The Republican Party is also facing challenges in presenting itself as the party of the working class. Engaging with voters requires listening rather than talking at them. Thomas Massey is a key figure in conservative politics today. The recent tax bill has significant implications for future spending. Civil asset forfeiture raises serious ethical concerns. Political communication is crucial for voter engagement. The relationship between law enforcement and communities needs improvement. Georgia's political landscape is complex and evolving. Reform efforts are often met with resistance from established interests. Public trust in government is at an all-time low. The GOP faces internal challenges that could impact its future. Engagement in local politics is essential for meaningful change.

This podcast is based upon the new 'Antimicrobial use guidelines for canine pyoderma by the International Society for Companion Animal Infectious Diseases (ISCAID)' available HERE   (00:00) John introduces the podcast with his co-hosts Sue Paterson & Producer Paul.   Chapter 1 – Understanding Pyoderma and the Need for New Guidelines   (02:56) Sue welcomes Dr. Anette Loeffler, who introduces herself and her background in veterinary dermatology. Originally from Germany, she studied in Munich and has worked in the UK for over 30 years. She is currently a dermatologist at the Royal Veterinary College (RVC) and has a special interest in Staphylococcus and bacterial skin infections and this has led her to work over the last 4 years on the new pyoderma treatment guidelines, aimed at improving antibiotic use and promoting topical therapy.   (04:30) Sue asks Anette to explain antimicrobial stewardship and why it is important. Anette describes antimicrobial resistance as a major global threat. Overuse of antibiotics leads to resistance, so it is crucial to avoid unnecessary prescriptions and focus on appropriate diagnostics.   (06:10) Sue asks how common pyoderma is in domestic species, particularly dogs and cats. Anette explains that staphylococcal pyoderma is very common in dogs due to their unique skin structure, making them more prone to bacterial overgrowth. While cats and other species can develop bacterial skin infections, it is far less frequent and usually not recurrent.   Chapter 2 – Diagnosing and Classifying Pyoderma   (08:00) John discusses evolving perspectives on pyoderma classification and asks if the traditional categories of superficial and deep pyoderma are still relevant. Anette confirms that the new guidelines still use these classifications as they help determine treatment:   Surface pyoderma (dysbiosis): Often in skin folds where bacteria and yeast overgrow due to friction and moisture. Superficial pyoderma: Involves hair follicles and is the most common type. Deep pyoderma: A more serious infection requiring systemic antibiotics.   (10:19) Sue notes that past treatment approaches lacked strong clinical evidence. Anette explains that many historical treatment protocols were based on anecdotal evidence rather than research. While deep pyoderma has more robust studies, superficial cases often lacked proper research, leading to overuse of antibiotics.   (13:04) John asks how vets can determine whether a case is surface, superficial, or deep pyoderma. Anette explains that clinical examination alone can often differentiate them:   Surface infections show redness and are in friction areas (e.g., nasal folds, hotspots). Superficial pyoderma presents with papules, pustules, and epidermal collarettes. Deep pyoderma causes swelling, draining tracts, haemorrhagic crusting, and pain.   (16:04) Sue asks how to confirm true bacterial pyoderma and rule out mimicking conditions. Anette stresses the importance of cytology, a simple and cost-effective test that can quickly confirm bacterial involvement. Cytology can also differentiate between bacterial infections, yeast overgrowth, and sterile pustular diseases.     Chapter 3 – Treatment Approaches and Key Takeaways from the New Guidelines   (19:36) John asks about traditional treatment approaches and why they need updating. Anette outlines how older guidelines recommended unnecessarily long courses of antibiotics (e.g., 3-4 weeks for superficial pyoderma, 4-6 weeks for deep pyoderma). While this was logical before antimicrobial resistance became a concern, modern research supports shorter, targeted treatments. (26:13) Anette explains the new recommendations:   Surface pyoderma should be treated topically only – systemic antibiotics are inappropriate. Superficial pyoderma should primarily be treated with topical therapy – which has been shown to be as successful as a course of antibiotics. Deep pyoderma requires systemic antibiotics but can benefit from adjunctive topical treatment.   (32:40) Sue asks about helping vets communicate these new approaches to pet owners. Anette explains that the guidelines include tables, visual aids, and quick-reference guides to support busy practitioners.   (33:28) John asks about when systemic antibiotics are still necessary. Anette explains that systemic therapy is still essential for deep pyoderma or when topical treatment alone is impractical (e.g., large dogs, owner limitations). In such cases, culture and susceptibility testing should guide antibiotic choice.   (38:15) Sue asks which antibiotics should be the first choice if empirical treatment is necessary. Anette recommends clindamycin, lincomycin, cephalexin, or co-amoxiclav as first-line choices, with fluoroquinolones reserved for resistant infections.   (42:32) Sue asks Anette for her top five takeaways from the guidelines:   Read the dog, not just the textbook. Diagnose based on clinical lesions and determine if the infection is surface, superficial, or deep.   Use cytology whenever possible. It's quick, inexpensive, and helps confirm bacterial involvement.   Always look for the underlying cause. Pyoderma often recurs due to allergies or hormonal conditions.   Prioritise topical therapy. Topical antimicrobials alone are effective for many skin infections, reducing antibiotic use.   Use systemic antibiotics responsibly. Empirical choices should be limited to first-line drugs, and culture should guide second-line therapy.   (45:45) Sue mentions that the full guidelines will be available online via: WSAVA, ISCAID, and WAVD. Sue also mentioned a  WAVD webinar Anetta hosted, which is a must watch. The guidelines are currently available HERE   (47:29) Outro – As always, Sue & John wrap up before John asks his co-hosts a light-hearted question to end on

This Day in Legal History: Civil Rights Act of 1960On May 6, 1960, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the Civil Rights Act of 1960 into law, marking a cautious but critical step forward in the long legal battle over voting rights in America. The Act was designed to address the persistent and systemic barriers that prevented African Americans, particularly in the South, from registering to vote—barriers that had proven stubbornly resilient despite the Civil Rights Act of 1957.The 1960 law authorized federal inspection of local voter registration rolls, giving the Department of Justice a tool to challenge discriminatory practices on the ground. It also criminalized interference with court orders regarding school desegregation and established penalties for anyone found obstructing an individual's attempt to register to vote. These measures were modest by today's standards but politically bold in an era where states' rights rhetoric often served as a smokescreen for maintaining Jim Crow.Though limited in scope and enforcement power, the Act signaled growing federal willingness to intervene in what had long been considered local matters. It provided legal infrastructure that civil rights lawyers would use as levers in federal court battles over the next half-decade. More importantly, it laid the legislative foundation for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965—two landmark laws that would reshape American democracy.By signing the Act, Eisenhower reaffirmed the federal government's role in protecting constitutional rights, even if the law fell short of what civil rights advocates demanded. It represented progress not through sweeping change, but through incremental legal gains—a strategy that would define much of the civil rights movement's legal approach during the 1960s.In retrospect, May 6, 1960, stands not as the culmination of voting rights reform, but as a necessary mile marker on the road toward more expansive and enforceable civil rights protections.Apple is facing a new class action lawsuit from app developers who allege the company defied a federal court order meant to reduce its App Store control and fees. Filed by developer Pure Sweat Basketball in California federal court, the suit follows a ruling by U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers that Apple willfully violated a 2021 injunction issued in the Epic Games case. That injunction allowed developers to guide users to alternative, potentially cheaper payment methods outside of Apple's in-app system.Instead, Apple allegedly imposed a new 27% fee on such external purchases, effectively undermining the injunction and preserving its App Store revenue stream. Pure Sweat claims Apple's actions cost developers “hundreds of millions or even billions” of dollars in excessive commissions. The proposed class could include as many as 100,000 developers.Judge Rogers recently referred Apple and one executive to federal prosecutors for potential criminal contempt, escalating the stakes. Apple maintains it did not violate the court order and has filed a notice of appeal. The lawsuit argues Apple deliberately ignored the injunction's intent, continuing to block apps—like Pure Sweat's workout video platform—that included outside purchase links.This latest case adds to Apple's growing legal troubles, including other antitrust suits from consumers and government entities over its App Store and smartphone practices.Apple hit with app developer class action after US judge's contempt ruling | ReutersAs reported by Techdirt, Washington is set to become the eighth U.S. state to pass Right to Repair legislation, signaling continued momentum for the consumer-driven movement despite an overall climate of weak enforcement. Two bills passed with overwhelming bipartisan support: HB 1483, which covers personal electronics and home appliances, and SB 5680, which targets repair access for wheelchairs and mobility devices. Both measures aim to force manufacturers to make spare parts, diagnostic tools, and repair information more accessible to users and independent technicians.Advocates from consumer rights, disability, and environmental groups played a major role in pushing the bills forward. One supporter, Marsha Cutting, shared how her experience with a malfunctioning wheelchair underscored the stakes of the fight—arguing that, with this law in place, she could have fixed her chair instead of waiting months for a replacement.Washington's move highlights the cross-party frustration with corporations that monopolize repairs—especially in sectors like agriculture, where companies like John Deere have drawn scrutiny. Ohio may soon follow suit as the ninth state.Still, as Techdirt notes, many of the states that passed such laws have yet to enforce them meaningfully. In some cases, like New York, the legislation was weakened after passage. Without enforcement teeth, these bills risk being symbolic victories. And with mounting political and fiscal pressure during Trump's second term, there's concern that ambitious consumer protections could quietly fall off the legislative agenda.Washington The Eighth State To Pass ‘Right To Repair' Law | TechdirtMy column for Bloomberg Tax this week looks at the resurgence of Republican-backed proposals for a so-called “millionaire tax” and argues that, far from being a step toward fairness, these marginal rate hikes risk cementing the very inequities they claim to address. I contend that celebrating superficial tweaks to the top marginal tax rate—while leaving the broader tax base untouched—burns valuable political momentum and can make real structural reform less likely in the future.The problem isn't just that the ultrawealthy pay too little tax—it's that we're taxing the wrong things in the wrong ways. A new bracket on reported income doesn't reach the vast majority of economic income for the ultrawealthy, which comes from unrealized gains, pass-through structures, and other vehicles that avoid ordinary income classification. A serious reform agenda would prioritize taxing that hidden wealth: ending stepped-up basis, closing the carried interest loophole, and addressing partnership opacity.Superficial changes like a new tax bracket can create the illusion of progress while leaving the architecture of tax avoidance intact. Worse, these symbolic victories often sap the will for deeper, more consequential change. Once lawmakers can declare they've “done something,” it becomes harder to make the case that more action is needed. As I argue in the piece, this is how inequality persists—not just through resistance, but through the misdirection of well-intentioned but shallow reform. This is a public episode.

One could argue that we live more superficially than ever before. Pascal and Kierkegaard are particularly relevant here!

TITULO: El Peligro de Una Vida Superficial. TEXTO Lucas 11:24-26 LECTURAS Mateo 12:30 Colosenses 3:16 2 Pedro 2:20-22 Efesios 5:18 1 Tesalonicenses 5:17 Juan 15:7 Hebreos 10:25 Proverbios 26:11

What if the modern church is missing something so essential that without it, our faith becomes just another human effort? What if the power we read about in Scripture—the kind that heals, transforms, and emboldens—was meant to be normal for every believer? In this sermon, Francis Chan confronts a pressing and uncomfortable question: If the Holy Spirit truly lives inside of us, why do so many Christians look no different from the world?

Research Your Investors Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Just as investors do research on the startup so the founder should do research on the investors. Research includes both primary and secondary research. Primary research comes from talking with the investors' portfolio companies and other investors. Ask the founders who have worked with the investor about their experience. Look for what value the investor can bring.   This includes both connections to other investors and business skills such as hiring, go-to-market strategies, and financial management. Secondary research comes from researching the investor online for their past experience, investments, and content posted. Review the investor's LinkedIn profile to learn more about their work history. Look at the investors' website to understand their investment thesis and what companies they've funded. Superficial impressions of an investor are often misleading. Some of the best investors don't carry a high profile in the community. Choosing a bad investor can make your startup life problematic so research well and pick carefully. This type of research will inform your fundraising efforts.   Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today. _______________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at:   Check out our other podcasts here:   For Investors check out:   For Startups check out:   For eGuides check out:   For upcoming Events, check out    For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group    Please , share, and leave a review.

¿Estás consciente de que Jesús te conoce y tiene sus ojos puestos en ti? ¿Cómo cambiaría tu vida si fueras más consciente de que Jesús va caminando junto a ti a dondequiera que vayas? Muchas veces no somos conscientes de que, verdaderamente, Jesús camina con nosotros, ve lo que hacemos y conoce cada uno de nuestros pensamientos. Que Jesús camine junto a nosotros no es una linda poesía, sino una realidad que todo cristiano debe vivir cada día, ya que la Biblia nos promete que Él va delante de nosotros.Suscríbete para recibir las notas de los episodios de VAE Podcast con el siguiente link:https://volviendoalaesencia.myflodesk.com/uhpdtwebxn

Are we witnessing one of pop's greatest vindications right now? This month marks the 15th anniversary of Heidi Montag's "Superficial" - a fabulous album of 'all killers no fillers' that was largely misunderstood by the general public at the time.  Fast forward to 2025 and the album finally cracked the Billboard 200 for the first time this week, thanks to the overwhelming support of fans and a long-overdue reappraisal, sparked by a rogue album track ('I'll Do It') going TikTok viral!   This iconique body of work features contributions from A-list pop hitmakers like Cathy Dennis (Kylie, Britney), Steve Morales (Enrique Iglesias, Celine Dion), and more! Joel - our resident OG Heidi Montag stan - is coming into the spotlight on this one to share his favourite "Superficial" highlights and give us a guided tour of her pop gems like 'Body Language', 'Fashion' (originally by Lady Gaga), 'Blackout', 'More Is More', and 'Higher'. Rising to global stardom through MTV's hit reality series The Hills, Heidi Blair Montag and hubby Spencer Pratt have been a power couple in reality entertainment for almost 20 years. It has been wonderful to see the internet rally behind Heidi and Spencer. We are sending their family and everyone affected by the devastating California wildfires so much love in these times.  Follow Right Back At Ya! https://www.instagram.com/rightbackpod/ https://twitter.com/rightbackpod https://www.facebook.com/rightbackpod Follow Joel https://www.instagram.com/dr_joelb/ https://twitter.com/DR_JoelB Follow David https://www.instagram.com/lovelimmy/ https://twitter.com/lovelimmy Email us rightbackpod@gmail.com

This week, Sami shares her chilling Facebook hacking experience with Aleen and Jordana, before getting into the headlines. First, Heidi and Spencer have turned tragedy into an unexpected comeback, galvanizing their followers into getting Heidi's 2010 album to #1 on iTunes. We love their love and we wish them well! Next, Timothée Chalamet is headed back to SNL this weekend as host… and musical guest. Is he going to be in full Bob Dylan mode, or should we be expecting a song from the Lil Timmy Tim archives? After a long enough hiatus that neither Aleen and Jordana can remember season 1, Severance is finally back for season 2. Was their performance art publicity stunt in Grand Central cool enough to get Sami to binge it? Finally, there are a few things the trio *did* watch this week - they share their highlights and theories from the new episodes of The Traitors, and give their review of awards darling Conclave. Our Betch of the Week is Speidi, and we're sending Lauren Conrad to the Caymans for not making a video promoting Superficial, and for that resurfaced video from The Hills where she made fun of Heidi's new job.

Many celebrities and lovely 'normal' people have lost their homes and the internet is right there to judge how they go about expressing grief and asking for help.

Are Hollywood celebrities genuine or superficial? Let's take a critical look at Hollywood's superficial faith declarations, with a call for genuine repentance and discipleship.
