Lernen Kinder mit Tablet, App und Laptop wirklich besser als mit Buch, Heft und Stift? Studien zeigen: Digitale Medien können motivieren und individuelles Lernen unterstützen, während Papier und Handschrift besonders bei Konzentration und Textverständnis Vorteile haben können.Auch Deutschland hat bei der Digitalisierung der Schulen aufgeholt, liegt international aber noch nicht überall an der Spitze. Entscheidend ist deshalb nicht digital oder analog, sondern der richtige Mix für die jeweilige Lernaufgabe.
How did ancient Assyria use divination, astrology, and animal livers to make decisions of war, government, and royal policy? Under King Esarhaddon, the Neo-Assyrian Empire developed one of the ancient world's most sophisticated systems of omen interpretation, combining centuries of recorded observations with extispicy, celestial omens, ritual expertise, and consultation with the gods.This episode examines the intellectual world of Assyrian divination and the system of experts who advised the royal court. Mesopotamian scholars collected and analyzed omens over generations, searching for correlations between unusual events, astronomical phenomena, medical symptoms, animal behavior, and subsequent historical outcomes. Their methods could involve careful empirical observation, elaborate textual traditions, linguistic interpretation, and an underlying theological assumption that the gods were ultimately responsible for events in the natural and political world.At the center of the episode is Esarhaddon, king of Assyria from 681–669 BCE, whose surviving correspondence preserves an extraordinary record of royal consultation with scholars and diviners. We examine letters from court intellectuals, the formulation of oracle questions, the use of sacrificial sheep in extispicy, and the interpretation of the liver and other internal organs as signs of divine intention.The episode also explores the specialized scholarly professions surrounding the Assyrian court: the ṭupšarru or learned scribe and celestial observer, the bārû or diviner and haruspex, the āšipu or ritual and magical specialist, the kalû or lamentation priest and chanter, and the asû or physician. Together these experts formed a complex advisory system through which observations were gathered, questions formulated, divine answers interpreted, and practical, ritual, or religious responses carried out.More broadly, the episode asks how closely Mesopotamian omen scholarship resembles science. Assyrian and Babylonian scholars relied heavily on accumulated observation, classification, written records, specialized training, and the testing of inherited traditions against experience. At the same time, their investigations remained embedded within a theological model in which the gods were the direct causes of events and deliberately made their intentions visible through signs.Topics include Neo-Assyrian religion, Mesopotamian divination, extispicy and hepatoscopy, Assyrian astrology, the State Archives of Assyria, Esarhaddon, ancient science, omen literature, cuneiform scholarship, the Tablet of Destinies, Enūma Anu Enlil, Šumma Ālu, Šumma Izbu, royal prophecy, ritual magic, and the intellectual culture of the ancient Near East.Music from the show: oldeststories.net/music (or search "Oldest Stories Music")Support the show:Books: https://a.co/d/7Wn4jhSDonate: oldeststories.netPatreon / YouTube members get bonus episodes: patreon.com/JamesBleckleyNo-AI readings of ancient texts: youtube.com/@osnightreading

How 16-year-old Built A 50-Fils Hydration Tablet To protect Dubai's Workers
My guests on the show today are David Sessions and Blake Smith, who are friends of the pod as well as co-hosts of the Off Christopher Street Podcast, which takes its name from the pioneering gay magazine Christopher Street, which aspired to be something like the gay New Yorker during it 20 year run from the mid 1970s to the mid 1990s. This episode is also being released via their show's feed, and in that spirit (and because David does show notes so much better than I do), here's that feed's summary of the conversation:In this crossover episode with Eminent Americans, we take a step back from our regular programming to talk to our friend Dan Oppenheimer about the state of gay male intellectual life. Does it still exist? If so, where is it located? We talk about why the editors of Christopher Street thought it was important to use new media strategies to cultivate a distinctive gay male identity and a shared, if not homogenous, literary culture around it. Are today's gay writers part of anything like a common identity or intellectual world? We talk about Gay Twitter, non-gay Substack, the “house gays” at straight magazines, the gay podcasts and the gay slop. We name all the names. Not because we think we have all the answers, but because we hope, in asking the questions, to provoke you to interest in the gay writing and thought we now have to inherit.Also discussed in this episode:* The political parallels between our political moment and the 1970s* How the editors of Christopher Street took inspiration from feminism but thought gay male culture should be separate from women* The “missing middle” between academic gay studies and the playful performativity of Gay Twitter* Why it's important that gay men write for a gay audience, not just for whoever will read them in straight magazines* Why “not like other gays” writers like Dennis Cooper and Bruce Benderson are still part of gay culture* Why Bros is the best gay movie ever madeDavid and Blake on Eminent Americans* David: “The David Sessions Session” (July 2026)* Blake: “Homosexual, Gay, Queer (and a Soupçon of Porn)” (January 2026)* David: “Left Behind” (May 2025)* Blake: “The Fall of the White American Gay” (May 2023)Sources* Michael Denneny, “Why Gay Men Need a Literary Magazine,” Christopher Street Reader (1983).* “A Conversation with Michel Foucault,” Christopher Street, May 1982.* Ben Nichols, Same Old: Queer Theory, Literature, and the Politics of Sameness (2020).* Ben Miller and Huw Lemmey, Bad Gays: A Homosexual History (2023).* Michael Denneny, “A Mouthful of Air: The Case of Larry Kramer,” On Christopher Street: Life, Sex, and Death After Stonewall (2023).* Paul McAdory, “Gay Sincerity is Scary,” Gawker, September 9, 2021.* Tom Crewe, “My Hands in My Face,” London Review of Books, June 26, 2025.* James Kirchik, “Transgendering Stonewall,” Tablet, July 11, 2019.* James Kirchik, “From Queer to Gay to Queer,” Liberties, Spring 2023.* David Sessions, “The Year of the Gay Sex Zeitgeist,” December 22, 2025.Eminent Americans is produced in collaboration with the John C.

2.400 Euro für ein iPhone 18 Pro Max – und trotzdem lohnt sich der Kauf steuerlich mehr, als die meisten denken. In dieser Folge rechnen wir vor, wie sich der Griff zum neuen Smartphone für Selbstständige, Unternehmer und Arbeitnehmer tatsächlich auszahlt, und räumen dabei mit einem hartnäckigen Irrtum auf: Ein Handy lässt sich trotz BMF-Schreiben vom 26. Februar 2021 zu digitalen Wirtschaftsgütern eben nicht sofort abschreiben – Smartphones sind von dieser Regelung ausdrücklich ausgenommen, anders als Notebooks, Tablets oder sogar die Apple Vision Pro, die wegen eigenem Prozessor und Betriebssystem funktional näher am Tablet liegt. Stattdessen bleibt es bei der regulären Nutzungsdauer von fünf Jahren nach AfA-Tabelle, wobei die degressive Abschreibung nach § 7 Abs. 2 EStG mit bis zu 30 % pro Jahr deutlich schneller zum Ziel führt als die lineare Variante. Richtig interessant wird's beim Investitionsabzugsbetrag nach § 7g EStG: Wer die Gewinngrenze von 200.000 Euro einhält, kann bis zu 50 % der voraussichtlichen Anschaffungskosten vorab gewinnmindernd abziehen – und damit die GWG-Grenze von 952 Euro brutto effektiv verdoppeln. Ein durchgerechnetes Beispiel zeigt, wie ein iPhone 18 Pro Max für 1.553 Euro netto durch einen vorab gebildeten IAB von 776 Euro am Ende unter der GWG-Grenze landet und sofort abgesetzt werden kann. Bei mindestens 90 % betrieblicher Nutzung ist das machbar – ein Kriterium, das beim Smartphone streng geprüft wird und je nach Berufsgruppe völlig unterschiedlich ausfällt. Auch beim Handy im Mobilfunkvertrags-Bundle wird's kompliziert: Laut BMF-Schreiben vom 20. Juni 2005 muss das vergünstigte Gerät zum Katalogpreis aktiviert und die Differenz als Zuschuss über die Vertragslaufzeit verteilt werden. Beim Leasing erklären wir, warum die aktuellen Apple-Angebote eher als operatives Leasing einzuordnen sind – abgeleitet aus dem Vollamortisationserlass von 1971 und dem Teilamortisationserlass von 1975. Für Arbeitgeber lohnt sich der Kauf gleich doppelt: Die private Nutzung eines Diensthandys durch Mitarbeiter bleibt nach § 3 Nr. 45 EStG komplett lohnsteuerfrei. Besonders spannend ist dabei ein Gestaltungsmodell, das der BFH in gleich drei Urteilen vom 23. November 2022 (VI R 49/20, VI R 50/20, VI R 51/20) höchstrichterlich abgesegnet hat: Arbeitnehmer verkaufen ihr gebrauchtes Handy für nur 1 bis 6 Euro an den Arbeitgeber, der es sofort wieder zur privaten Nutzung überlässt und die Mobilfunkkosten übernimmt. Das Finanzamt witterte einen Gestaltungsmissbrauch nach § 42 AO – der BFH entschied jedoch, dass der niedrige Kaufpreis durch die übernommenen Kosten und das Reparaturrisiko wirtschaftlich ausgeglichen wird und damit dem Fremdvergleich standhält.

This week's episode is 100% ad-free, as we take up the somber subject of "memory against forgetting" (to borrow Milan Kundera's useful phrase) on the subject of the 25th anniversary of 9/11, and we didn't want to risk getting an automated ad for "Jihadis-R-Us Truck Rental" or something. John was at the Dept. of Justice that day (and late into the night); Steve was four blocks from the White House (and due to meet there at 11 am that morning), and Lucretia was overseas in Germany toward the end of her stint there as a military spouse (and mom to young children that she never once thought about strangling). In addition to personal reflections, we go through a few of the key issues that became urgent that day, such as the necessary transition from regarding terrorist acts as criminal matters to seeing them more properly as acts of war, requiring a war-fighting mentality. This necessary shift remains controversial of course. John recalls of this in detail in a piece for Civitas Outlook, "Remembering 9/11 and the War We Fought." Don't miss it!We also wonder about the strange twists and turns that have happened in the intervening years (such as having a radical Muslim mayor of New York City today—something unimaginable in the immediate aftermath of 9/11), and finally taking up the question of whether we and our Western allies are finally, slowly coming to grips with the problem of radical Islam, or even non-radical Islam, taking some of our bearings from Ayaan Hirsi Ali's Tablet article, "What Mohammad Atta Was Trying to Tell Us."We manage to end on an upbeat note with a modest suggestion for how to reform "land acknowledgements."
Iedereen had Meta afgeschreven in de AI-race. Topman Mark Zuckerberg had bergen met geld tegen een 'superteam' aan gesmeten, maar zonder resultaat. En toen kwam er opeens een video rechtstreeks van Zuckerbergs persoonlijke selfie-camera. Muse, dat is de AI-agent waar het bedrijf lang op heeft zitten broeden. En in de wereld van de Agents heeft Meta naar eigen zeggen een voordeel: ze hebben namelijk al tal van apps die naadloos op Muse kunnen aansluiten. Maar hoe groot is dat voordeel? Dat zoeken we deze aflevering uit. Verder hebben we het over de handelsoorlog. Nee, het is echt nog steeds 2026, je bent niet een jaar terug in de tijd gegaan. De Verenigde Staten en Canada vechten elkaar op economisch vlak de tent uit. En importheffingen zijn al niet meer heftig genoeg. Een compleet importverbod, dat is nu de maatregel die wordt getroffen. Je hoort ook nog over TomTom. Het bedrijf denkt op met een nieuwe focus snel geld binnen te halen om zo de winstmarge boven de verwachte 0 procent te krijgen. En we vertellen je wie er op de valreep nog proberen eerder te zijn met een vouwtelefoon dan Apple.

On this week's episode of the RealClearInvestigations Podcast, RCI Editor J. Peder Zane and RCI Senior Reporter James Varney mark Labor Day by giving their guests the week off. In an extended news round-up, Zane and Varney discuss two articles on the Iran conflict – a Tablet article detailing Trump's evolving strategy and an AP piece on how the Pentagon's latest precision missiles are not so precise. Turning their attention to the changing world of journalism, they discuss a Semafor story describing how online ‘ghost creators' are pushing fake news and a Columbia Journalism Review report on how New York City's Mayor is shaping the news by paying social media influencers.

Tablet POS systems are everywhere, but are they actually killing hospitality?Systems like Toast and Square, Management loves the mobility, but servers are losing the rhythm of hospitality, eye contact, and the ability to multitask across multiple tables.We cover why table side payment sounds great in theory but slows down split checks, why that "accuracy" claim is a myth, and why looking at a screen is making service feel like self checkout. Plus the cracked screens, dead batteries, and menu digging that wastes time you should spend with guests.If you work in restaurants, use a restaurant pos system, or are deciding on a POS system for your restaurant, this is the server truth no sales demo will tell you.#restaurantlife #serverlife Do you love or hate tablet POS systems?

Homework used to mean a stack of books at a kitchen table. Now it means a laptop balanced on a lap, a tablet propped against a pillow, hours of assignments done on a screen that's almost never at the right height. In this episode, we talk about why screen-based homework tends to create worse posture than book-based homework ever did, what a forward-head, rounded-shoulder position actually does to the neck and upper back over months and years, and why this matters even more in kids and teens whose spines are still developing. This isn't an anti-technology episode — it's an episode about what accumulates quietly in a growing body when a bad position gets repeated for hours a day, every school year.

You have heard the name Lucifer your whole life. Doug Hamp says it was never there. The Hebrew University-trained scholar and author of the Corrupting the Image trilogy returns to the basement to show that the word behind Lucifer in Isaiah 14 is not Lucifer at all. It is Hillel, and it traces back through Akkadian to a Sumerian deity named Enlil. Nobody in the ancient world knew a Lucifer. But Enlil is everywhere. The god who splits heaven and earth, seizes the earth as his own, rules the far north, holds the Tablet of Destinies, and decrees the fates of men. Every fingerprint of the being we call Satan, hiding in plain sight for four thousand years.From there it only gets bigger. Doug walks through the great red dragon carved into the Ishtar Gate, the woman riding the beast pressed into a cylinder seal from 2200 BC, and the ancient images that show up in Revelation thousands of years before John writes a word. He connects the sealed scroll of Revelation 5 to the Tablet of Destinies and the title deed of planet Earth, the one Adam handed away in the garden. This is the second book of the trilogy, and it rewires how you read the strangest book in the Bible. The weird stuff was never weird. It was history.

UFOs were once the stuff of tabloids and conspiracy theories. Today they're the subject of congressional hearings, Pentagon investigations, mainstream news coverage, and a new wave of claims about government cover-ups and alien technology. Adam Kirsch, senior editor at The Atlantic and author of We Want to Believe: How Aliens Went Mainstream and Why It Matters, joins Michael Shermer to ask what changed—and why the idea of extraterrestrial visitors has such a powerful hold on us. They discuss Roswell, UFO "disclosure," eyewitness testimony, government secrecy, alien abductions, Carl Sagan and Contact, the religious impulse behind UFO belief, and the difference between testimony and scientific evidence. The conversation also turns to the serious scientific search for extraterrestrial intelligence: the Fermi paradox, why decades of SETI have found nothing, how rare intelligent life might be, and whether our ideas about aliens ultimately tell us more about ourselves than about anything actually out there. Adam Kirsch is the author of several books of poetry and criticism and a senior editor at The Atlantic. A 2016 Guggenheim Fellow, Kirsch has written for publications including The New Yorker, Slate, The Times Literary Supplement, The New York Times Book Review, Poetry, and Tablet. His new book is We Want to Believe: How Aliens Went Mainstream and Why It Matters.

Today we're going to compare the two available forms of semaglutide: the once-weekly injection and the once-daily tablet. Both contain semaglutide, but they differ significantly in how the medication is absorbed, how often it's taken, the instructions for administration, approved uses, storage requirements, and cost. We'll also discuss the technology that makes oral semaglutide possible, why the tablet has specific timing requirements, and which option may be a better fit depending on your health history and lifestyle.

In der bereits elften Folge des SHOCK2 Tech Talk ist Michael einmal mehr zu Gast bei Rene Findenig – und diesmal wird gefaltet, gefächelt und ganz groß aufgedreht. Gemeinsam nehmen die beiden das neue Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 unter die Lupe und klären, wie viel Smartphone, Tablet und mobiles Technikspielzeug inzwischen in eine Hosentasche passen. Anschließend sorgt der Xiaomi Smart Standing Fan 2 Pro für frischen Wind: Wie smart muss ein Ventilator eigentlich sein, bevor man mit ihm mehr Zeit verbringt als mit manchen Familienmitgliedern? Zum großen Finale geht es ins Heimkino. Der 65 Zoll große TCL 65C8L mit SQD-Mini-LED-Technik verspricht kräftige Farben, starke Kontraste und jede Menge Bildfläche für Filme, Serien und Videospiele. Michael und Rene sprechen über ihre Eindrücke, praktische Erfahrungen und natürlich darüber, für wen sich die drei Geräte tatsächlich lohnen. Viel Spaß mit einer neuen Folge voller Technik, persönlicher Einschätzungen und der entscheidenden Frage: Kann man einen Fernseher eigentlich noch zu groß kaufen?

On this week's episode of the RealClearInvestigations Podcast, RCI Editor J. Peder Zane and RCI Senior Reporter James Varney speak with Aaron Shuster about his Tablet article “Entryism Comes to America,” which argues that the U.S. should follow France's lead and have a serious inquiry into and discussion of what the rise of Islamism means for the nation's prevailing culture and politics. On the news round-up, Zane and Varney discuss a trio of articles – two from the New York Times, one from Politico – reporting that President Trump appears to be rewarding states that voted for him and punishing those that did not as his administration dispenses disaster relief and other monies approved by Congress. While praising the legacy media for shining a light on the Trump administration, Zane and Varney also discuss how a New York Times article on Dr. Anthony Fauci's recent testimony before Congress and a Washington Post article about how Joe Biden's post-presidential career has been hobbled by health issues (including Stage 4 prostate cancer) reveal the ways legacy media outlets often protect people and parties they support. 00:00 Introduction to Entryism and Political Context 11:23 The Role of Media in Political Reporting 12:20 Understanding Entryism: A Deep Dive 22:50 Cultural Integration vs. Subjugation 30:44 The Future of American Values and Politics 31:43 The Core Values of Civilization 34:57 Immigration and National Identity 36:05 The Influence of Academia on Culture 39:16 The Alliance of Radical Left and Islamic Thought 41:11 Challenges of Immigration in Europe 43:00 Cultural Resistance and the Fight for Identity 45:29 The Need for a Cultural Revival 47:48 Historical Context of Immigration and Assimilation 51:49 Shared Values and Cultural Integration 54:21 Potential Solutions for Immigration Issues Books & Articles Discussed in This Podcast: Aaron Shuster/Tablet: Entryism Comes to America New York Times: Trump Sitting on Billions Approved for Transit Politico: Trump Overrode Agencies To Deny Dem Disaster Requests New York Times: Trump Administration Admits Canceling Grants to States That Did Not Vote for Him New York Times: Fauci's Diary Reflections on COVID's Origins and Fame Washington Post: Illness Has Transformed Biden's Post-Presidential Life Sign up for the RealClearInvestigations Newsletter.

What if everything we've been told about cats is wrong?A mysterious ancient Sumerian tablet supposedly describes small, four-legged creatures that weren't domesticated by humans—they were delivered with a purpose. It calls them “the eyes that do not sleep” and claims that when a cat sits silently staring into space… it isn't resting. It's reporting.Reporting to who?In this episode, Mr. Burnz Sativa dives into one of the strangest ancient theories ever told. Were cats gifts from the gods? Ancient surveillance? Alien observers? Or is there a deeper symbolic meaning hidden in the story?We'll explore ancient civilizations, mythology, strange coincidences, and ask the questions most people never think to ask. Along the way, expect plenty of laughs, a little profanity, and a whole lot of “What if?”Whether you believe it's fact, fiction, or somewhere in between, one thing is certain—you'll never look at your cat the same way again.Question of the episode: If cats were really sent here with a mission… who sent them, and what are they reporting?Drop your theories in the comments, subscribe, and join the conversation.Stupid People with Pets — Where pets make sense… and people don't.
On this week's episode of the RealClearInvestigations Podcast, J. Peder Zane and James Varney speak with Tablet writer and RCI contributor Lee Smith about conservative media in the Trump era with a special focus on X. On the news round-up, Zane and Varney discuss how a ProPublica investigation reporting on the Trump administration's aggressive immigration efforts, which includes a remake of the courts, is targeting a once protected class for deportation: unaccompanied minors who crossed the border. They also looks at a new report from the White House that assails the leadership of the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History for “explicitly adopt[ing] an ideological framework that no longer treats the American story as a shared national inheritance to be taught or celebrated, but as a political instrument to divide, dispirit, and discourage our citizens.” 00:00 Introduction and Overview of Current Events 02:01 Immigration and Deportation Policies 07:01 American History and Political Narratives 13:03 The State of Conservative Media 20:13 Challenges in Modern Journalism 30:03 The Role of Social Media in News Consumption 32:44 Navigating Information Overload 36:27 Censorship and Free Speech Dynamics 40:03 The Role of Propaganda in Media 44:21 The Responsibility of Media Platforms 48:31 Distinguishing Free Speech from Press Freedom 50:10 Acknowledging the Current Media Landscape 55:24 The Importance of Accountability in Media Books & Articles Discussed in This Podcast: Lee Smith: Is the EU's Spat with Elon Musk Really About Free Speech? https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/eu-spat-elon-musk-free-speech Lee Smith: The Man Setting Fire to the GOP ProPublica: Trump Surges Deportation of Minors White House: Saving America's Story https://www.whitehouse.gov/releases/2026/07/saving-americas-story/ New York Times: Inside Trump's Ideological Fight With the Smithsonian https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/06/us/politics/trump-smithsonian-ideological-fight.html Sign up for the RealClearInvestigations Newsletter.

My guest on the show today, our special Fourth of July sesquicentennial episode, is Jacob Siegel. He's a writer and editor at Tablet Magazine, an Iraq and Afghanistan vet, co-host of the Manifesto! podcast, and author of the new book, The Information State, which we don't discuss on the episode.Our topic, instead, is the “The Disappearing American Man,” the first installment of a column that Jacob is now writing for Tablet. To give you a sense of the essay, which is slightly to the left or maybe to the right or just below or above the typical crisis of masculinity polemic, here's a particularly pungent passage from it:What I see in many prominent and representative American men today is a dribbling sludge of bitterness. A peacocking display of impotence, debility, worminess, insincerity, lack of competence, lack of confidence, lack of élan, pettiness, selfishness, scheming, and self-pity. Not all men, as the saying goes, but enough to pass a civilizational tipping point. The young men standing up at town hall meetings are almost pompous in their bitterness. The anonymous posters online have turned cattiness and petty sadism into a group erotic ritual. The politicians are embittered, the podcasters are embittered, even the popular comedians are embittered. Probably the comedians are the most bitter of all.Much of this bitterness seems to stem from an ambient feeling of betrayal. Today's American man knows that he has been wronged. By globalist elites and international pedophile rings or else by his own toxic masculinity. By immigrants or perhaps by his innate racism. By “woke capital”; diversity, equity, and inclusion; greedy billionaires; and unappreciative modern women. And by the Jews, of course. Always by the Jews. So that's just a taste. It's a pretty intense, hard-charging essay. I would say there's more or less two overlapping arguments in the essay. One is about this bitterness as it's expressed in the more venomous, less inhibited regions of the right, which Siegel traces to the effects of the failed wars after 9/11, the thesis being something like: when the globe-bestriding American military colossus can't beat a bunch of goat herders, it powerfully undermines the projective identity that so many men, and particularly men on the right, have had with American military power. Its power is our power, is how they felt, and so then when its power is undermined so thoroughly, it strikes right at the core of people's identity, their sense of themselves as men. And what some people did with that searing sense of impotence was to turn it not just against the left, which is traditional right-wing move, but against the American soldier himself, and then behind him against what the American soldier traditionally has represented, which is American power, American might, American manliness. Attached to that is a historical narrative, a quite conspiratorial one, that the long period that most of us think of as a kind of golden age of American power and manliness, from the end of WW II to the end of the Cold War, was in fact a long, deep con perpetrated by the globalists on the real American men, who were its innocent victims. All that time that we thought we were powerful, by virtue of our affiliation and identification with American power, we were in fact being manipulated and betrayed. (Jacob and I wouldn't say “we,” of course, since as Jews we were perpetrators of the con, not its victims.)So that's argument one, and the other argument, which I think is downstream of that one, is that an effect of all that — the loss of the wars, the cultural and political reaction to it — is that the cultural ideal of the American man has become exhausted. That figure who stood a certain way, held a cigarette a certain way, often looked on the world with a certain cool disdain, has died or at least has gone conspicuously silent. An archetype that was capacious enough over the decades to manifest in figures as diverse as manly Hemingway, the dandy Gatsby, the stoic Marlboro Man, swaggering Muhammad Ali, and the alienated Kurt Cobain seems no longer to be producing new manifestations of itself. The world spirit has abandoned him/us. Then braiding through these two arguments is Jacob's own story of being in the wars. He did 15 months in Iraq, and then after some years in which he rather failed to figure out life as a civilian, he signed up again and went to Afghanistan. And it was in that space, he writes, that he was able to reassemble himself in a way that could eventually go on to do some flourishing in the aftermath. The piece opens with a road trip he takes with a bunch of enlisted guys from his unit, men over whom he had command. They semi-licitly liberated a van from the motor pool, and they went to see families of two soldiers who'd been killed by an IED in their last month over there. He talks about being the only officer in this tight group of enlisted men, some of whom had some real suspicion of him. He writes about his sense of guilt and dislocation during the interregnum between his two stints. He and I talk about that. We go into his theory of how the right talked itself into treating World War II as the original sin of American betrayal, how that recasts the Greatest Generation as a bunch of cucks, how a guy like Tucker Carlson, who was such a cheerleader for the Iraq War, has re-imagined himself into a state of metaphysical victimhood and purity, and how the big story of the betrayal of the American man has a weird double-sidedness to it— the true American man is pure, because he's not responsible for the nation's sins, but he also has no agency. He's a dupe, a cuck.And so on. We get deep in the shit, in other words. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Hope you do too. Peace. This is a public episode.

When students begin to study international politics, they meet some very old and well-established schools of thought. These approaches disagree about a fundamental question: what is the most important kind of information to acquire? One school of thought recommends studying power: who holds the weapons, and who fears whom. From that, the thinking goes, you'll be able to map the hierarchies and relationships that tell you everything essential that you need to know. Another recommends studying the cultures and dominant ideas that constitute the spirit of a given regime—to try to understand the way a nation will behave based on what it loves, what it honors, and how it understands itself. Of course, ideally you would want to understand both. This week, I'm bringing together two of the most sophisticated, interesting analysts of the Middle East to discuss how they approach the region. When Michael Doran looks at the Middle East, he focuses relative power. Doing so gives him the ability to separate the signal from the noise. The vitality of theological disputes and national cultures is constrained by the ability of the state to deploy force, whether in Iran, Egypt, Turkey, or Saudi Arabia. When Hussein Aboubakr Mansour looks at the Middle East, by contrast, he sees a set of ideologies whose provenance he traces back to European philosophy. How do these two angles of vision relate to one another, and what does each offer? And what do they reflect back to us about America and the West? Michael Doran is a senior fellow and director of the Center for Peace and Security in the Middle East at the Hudson Institute, and host, together with Gadi Taub, of the podcast Israel Update, which is cosponsored by Hudson and Tablet. Hussein Aboubakr Mansour is a fellow at JINSA's Gemunder Center, a columnist at Mosaic, and the author of the Abrahamic Metacritique on Substack. This conversation was recorded live in front of an audience of elite undergraduates, participating in this year's Beren Summer Fellowship, where this week, Michael Doran and Hussein Aboubakr Mansour have been resident faculty members.

Today on Unsupervised Learning Razib talks to Zineb Riboua, a research fellow and program manager of Hudson Institute's Center for Peace and Security in the Middle East. She specializes in Chinese and Russian involvement in the Middle East, the Sahel, and North Africa, great power competition in the region, and Israeli-Arab relations. Riboua's pieces and commentary have appeared in the Wall Street Journal, Foreign Policy, the National Interest, the Jerusalem Post and Tablet among other outlets. She holds a master's of public policy from the McCourt School of Public Policy at Georgetown University. She did her undergraduate studies in France, where she attended French preparatory classes and HEC Paris' Grande Ecole program. Her Substack is Beyond the Ideological. Razib and Zineb Riboua discuss the concept of Third Worldism (following up on an earlier podcast), its historical context, and its contemporary relevance. Riboua explains that Third Worldism positions the decolonizing world as a historical actor seeking revenge and redistribution from the West, emphasizing the West's role in global South underdevelopment. They explore its manifestations in politics, particularly in the US and Europe, and its influence on foreign policy, highlighting the role of Israel as a central issue. Riboua also touches on the economic and political challenges faced by Iran and the Middle East, and the evolving dynamics of Islam in global politics.
Foreign policy doesn't fit on a bumper sticker, so I dedicate a full hour to discussing the outcome of the Iran war with Tablet magazine's Park MacDougald. He helps me analyze the fallout from the Iran agreement, the future of Israel and Lebanon, the role of JD Vance, and whether America is repeating the same failed Middle East strategy used by Obama and Biden. Unfortunately, what you are seeing is not an exercise in America First or even isolationism or neutrality in the Middle East. It's a far-left Wilsonian view that intervenes on behalf of Islamic enemies and will further entrench us in the war for years to come. Also, if our trillion-dollar military can't keep shipping lanes open against Iran, what happens when China moves on the shipping lanes in the South China Sea? Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of the The Karol Markowicz Show, Karol sits down with Tablet Editor-in-Chief Alana Newhouse for a wide-ranging conversation on the collapse of trust in media, the rise of AI-driven information chaos, and what comes next for institutions in America. Alana shares the origin story behind Tablet and how it evolved from a niche cultural publication into a broader voice tackling the failures of legacy media. She explains her concept of “brokenness” in modern institutions—and why Americans are increasingly skeptical of everything from journalism to higher education. The conversation dives into: Why AI is accelerating distrust in online content The surprising return of print media and Gen Z’s demand for credibility How legacy media can rebuild trust (and which outlets won’t survive) The future of American institutions over the next five years A personal look at Alana’s work in biotech and gene editing Plus, Alana offers a simple but powerful tip to improve your daily life in a world dominated by social media.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Subscribe on Android. Here's a summary of the survey comments on how knitters use patterns and track their progress: People have a preference for paper but lots use digital tools. A recurring theme was the desire to keep knitting as an analog, screen-free hobby. There are lots of creative tools for counting rows. People use highlighter tape, rulers, sticky notes, hand-drawn grid boxes, safety pin chains, a 10-sided die, and even moving a stitch marker along keyboard number keys. We also seem to realize that our systems are imperfect. We don't keep enough or the right kind of notes. We have unsorted stacks of printed patterns, notes we struggle to decode later, or no real system at all. Ravelry is a partial solution to this but doesn't work for everyone.

Tablet (card) weaving for Pride Month: This band will become a dog collar and two key chains for my sisters-in-law. Continuing with spinning the naturally dyed wool from last fall: Dyed the last batches of the CA Red fleece with fig leaves and with ceanothus leaves trying to get a green. The fig gave a slightly green tinted yellow. I had used this before on a skein of polwarth but even quadrupling the grams of fig leaves didn't make the color more saturated. The ceanothus ended up giving another tan color. Natural dyeing can be disappointing. Fleece washing: About 2 lbs of Corriedale came out of the suint bath and is ready for a hot wash. About 3.5 lbs of light silver Romney went into the suint bath and has been there for about a week. I also spent a day washing about 3 lbs of Jazzman that had come out of the suint bath. There was a white section, a light gray section, and a darker gray section. The darker gray is still a little greasy so I may end up soaking it one more time to get more of the lanolin out.

www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcastThe Ark of the Covenant vanished from history in 586 BC — and for 2,600 years, everyone from ancient pharaohs to Nazi SS officers has been searching for it. In Part 2 of their deep dive, Jorge, Eric, and Sean break down the most compelling theories about where the world's most powerful relic actually ended up.The guys go inside Ethiopia's extraordinary claim — where 45 million Orthodox Christians believe the Ark sits inside a tiny, heavily guarded chapel in Axum, protected by a single monk who takes its secrets to his grave. They unpack the Kebra Nagast, the tale of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, and why the most fully developed theory in history might also be the most flawed.Then they dig into the Copper Scroll — an actual treasure map discovered in the Dead Sea caves listing 64 hidden locations and billions of dollars in sacred relics. Could the Ark be buried somewhere in the Judaean wilderness? Is it still hidden beneath the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, right under the Dome of the Rock? Or did the Babylonians simply melt it down for gold centuries ago?The episode also covers the Nazi occult — the real Himmler, the real Ahnenerbe, and why the most militarized regime in modern history sent government-funded expeditions to track down a biblical artifact.
