House of the Dragon Season 3 ended with Sunfyre back from the dead and Rhaenyra executing the High Septon inside his own sept, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day gave the MCU its darkest Jean Grey yet. Frank, Thomas, and Jonathan break down both, plus the Marvel Hall H panel from San Diego Comic-Con and why Ghost Rider got announced with nothing behind it. On the House of the Dragon side: the Episode 7 resurrection that flipped the board, Helaena's tapestry and what it was quietly spoiling all along, where the show splits from Fire and Blood on her death, why Rhaenyra was never built to sit on a throne in the first place, and a final score for the season from each of them. Then a full spoiler conversation on Spider-Man: Brand New Day covering Sadie Sink's Jean Grey and the road to Dark Phoenix, the Hulk and the Punisher as mirrors for where Peter Parker could end up, the ending that made a handshake hit harder than a kiss, and whether Marvel has its footing back going into Doomsday, Secret Wars, and X-Men. Network news and picks of the week close it out. 00:00 Intro: Three Weeks Off, Alaska, and Missing Comic-Con 03:11 San Diego Comic-Con and the Marvel Hall H Fallout 05:53 Project Hail Mary Is the Movie of the Year 07:02 House of the Dragon Season 3: Rhaenyra's Turn and the Finale 18:53 Sunfyre, Helaena's Tapestry, and Book vs Show Changes 25:02 Season 3 Final Thoughts and Scores 28:00 Spider-Man: Brand New Day Spoiler Talk 33:00 Sadie Sink's Jean Grey and the Road to Dark Phoenix 41:02 What It Means for the MCU: Doomsday, Secret Wars, and X-Men 50:16 Network News and Picks of the Week All news discussed comes from GeekFreaksPodcast.com.

Send it in. We read listener questions and topic suggestions on air. Key Takeaways Rhaenyra spent three seasons trying to be her father and the finale is the moment she stops. Frank frames it as her Anakin-to-Vader turn, right down to killing the realm's holy man and walking back out to claim she is the savior. Episode 7 and the return of Sunfyre lands as the season's biggest swing. Jonathan calls it a genuine plot twist with no setup, and it resets who is actually holding power going into Season 4. Helaena's knitting was spoiling the show in plain sight. Her tapestry lays out everything she has seen, and nobody in the story looks at it until it is too late. Both Frank and Jonathan score Season 3 an eight, with the caveat that Episodes 4 through 6 drag badly. Thomas, who bailed on the season early, gets talked into going back and finishing it. Spider-Man: Brand New Day works as a character study more than a clean three-act movie. The guys argue it is structurally strange on purpose, closer to picking up a random issue mid-run than a typical MCU installment. Jean Grey's power set is used in a much more specific and much darker way than expected, which the guys read as deliberate setup for Professor X's mental blocks and the eventual Dark Phoenix story. Quotes "She's now in her Darth Vader era." (Frank) "She was never meant to actually sit on the Iron Throne. She was always meant to capture it." (Frank) "The dragon fire ripping through a city is going to kill the good and the bad alike. It's not justice. It's just suffering." (Jonathan) "So many parts of this shouldn't work. But it does." (Thomas, on Spider-Man: Brand New Day) "I can't believe how much relief I suddenly felt from a damn handshake."

Carole King was always a great writer of pop melodies from the early days of Teen Pan Alley, at the Brill Building, in the heart of midtown Manhattan, when she and her then husband, Gerry Goffin, a lyricist, gave us classics like “Up on the Roof”, “Natural Woman,” “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow” and “The Locomotion” and hundreds more.  Her transformation in 1971 to a recording artist giving us one of the most successful albums in history, “Tapestry,” was something many who knew her might not have anticipated.  She was shy and not confident about her vocal abilities and star power.  And, yet, the authenticity of that album, as she found her voice, both in the lyrics and melodies, in many of the songs, made her name synonymous with the singer-songwriter era, of the early 1970’s.  And her musical soulmate, James Taylor, is largely responsible for the confidence she gained in becoming an artist, as well as a writer.  Jane Eisner captures her life and career in the book, “Carole King: She Made the Earth Move.”  Her impact today?  Well, Taylor Swift inducted her into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, for the second time, first as a songwriter and then as an artist, and said she was the greatest pop songwriter of all time.  High praise, indeed.  Her legacy lives on.

In Part 5 of the Extractive Tapestry series, we're shifting from top-down systemic corruption to the demand side of the climate equation. Aub breaks down how toxic influencer culture, algorithmic tech design, and fast fashion/beauty waste hijack our fundamental human need for community (Maslow's Hierarchy Tier 3) and turn it into chronic overconsumption.Links & Resources:Read the full show notes & article with receipts: https://dandelionbranding.com/ep-extractive-tapestry-influencers-overconsumption-sustainabilityJoin the UnHushable Network: https://dandelionbranding.com/unhushable-network/Powered by Dandelion Branding: https://dandelionbranding.comIf this episode hit home, don't forget to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with an eco-curious baddie in your life!

This week on Listening Lyrics we have Didar Singh Khalsa. He is a Woodland-area guitarist, singer and highly prolific songwriter whose music blends Americana, alternative folk rock and country-rock. Didar has played guitar for more than five decades. He began writing and recording his own songs much later, partly inspired by attending several songwriting camps taught by British guitarist and songwriter Richard Thompson. His songs tend to be lyric-driven, imaginative and sometimes wry or philosophical. His latest album Bourgeois Virtue contains 14 songs, including “Lord, Wind Me Down Slowly,” “We're Underwater Here,” “Finish the Tapestry” and “Under the Linden Tree.” Didar is a distinctive local musician who writes because he has something personal, thoughtful and occasionally mischievous to say, rather than because he is chasing commercial trends.

From a distance, the forests of July look like a lush tapestry of green. But when you step into the loosely woven strands and take a closer look, the leaves are etched with feeding trails, dissected by holes of all shapes and sizes, and covered with the debris of life. It's a principle of ecology, of course, that every Being is food for someone else. Feeding styles vary. Some invertebrates are "leaf folders," while others are "leaf rollers" or "leaf tiers." All of these insects and spiders use silk that contracts as it dries to shape leaves into shelters.    I set out to find examples of all of the leaf architects.

If PR is all about weaving great stories, then the Bayeux Tapestry might just be the perfect example.This week, David Yelland and Farzana Baduel celebrate the comms coup that was 1000 years in the making. The tapestry's arrival back in the UK was covered and celebrated in minute detail - with hype being generated from the most mundane details. The British Museum seems to have pulled off a public relations masterclass. But it comes as the museum is still battling to recover its reputation after a series of fan hitters.On the extended edition on BBC Sounds, the resignation bombshell that's gone global. A Chinese project manager at Alibaba has quit - and she didn't just hand in a brief note explaining she'd serve her notice period. She wrote a 100 page tome that tore into her entire industry. Farzana and David discuss the reputational risks to both employer and employee.Also, the noble art of dressing up and poking fun at someone. Count Binface has garnered coverage across the world as he prepares to stand in the Clacton by-election. He's just the latest in a long line of people who've used the absurd as a very effective - not to mention cheap - way of landing their point. And the tricky thing is, it's often very hard to counter.Producer: Duncan Middleton Editor: Sarah Teasdale Executive Producer: Eve Streeter Music by Eclectic Sounds A Raconteur Studios production for BBC Radio 4

They also remind us of how Kolbe's family advisors can help our parents effectively navigate their homeschooling journey.  As Sarah points out, homeschooling can be a bit like making a tapestry.

How does the judicial system block sustainability? In Part 4 of the Extractive Tapestry series on the EnvironMental Podcast deconstructs the legal frameworks that permit environmental degradation. Moving past basic corruption narratives, this video essay traces how the 1787 U.S. Constitution prioritizes commercial capital over ecological survival. By analyzing recent landmark rulings—including Chevron v. Plaquemines Parish (2026), Sackett v. EPA, Seven County, and the gerrymandering decision in Louisiana v. Callais—the episode exposes how courts convert ecocide into technical compliance while legally disarming frontline communities.Transitioning from the macro limitations of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to grassroots victories in Benson, Texas, this essay provides a tactical toolkit for local climate resistance, legal action via ClientEarth, and the push for Constitutional Green Amendments.

From building a clear unique selling proposition to understanding customer acquisition costs, unit economics, and digital marketing, she offers a practical roadmap for founders looking to grow smarter. Alex also shares her approach to content creation, short-form video, and what unconventional brands like Brandy Melville can teach designers about standing out in a crowded market.Key Takeaways:• Know exactly who you're selling to — Clear customer definition drives every successful marketing decision. • Growth starts with the numbers — CAC, unit economics, and positioning matter as much as great design. • Content builds trust — Consistent, authentic storytelling is one of today's most powerful growth tools.

What's the big deal about celibate partnerships?!Pieter Valk wrote an article in 2023 with a significant critique on celibate partnerships, but in 2026 he made significant revisions with an expanded imagination for the possibility and goodness that these kinds of relationships can play for Christians who are looking to live chaste lives within relationships of belonging and mutual care.If you are new to the conversation, here is a brief description: celibate partnerships are long-term committed relationships between two people (typically of the same sex) who regard each other as their primary life partner, yet, unlike marriage, their relationship is not open to sexual activity.The validity and shape of these relationships have been a prominent conversation and debate within the Side B community, so we're grateful for the opportunity to read Pieter Valk's thoughts and offer some of our own. We'd love to hear what you think after you give a listen! Here's a few questions to stir your thinking:Do you think conservative churches can embrace the possibility of celibate partnerships based on Pieter's accommodation argument? or would they be better suited to develop an expanded imagination for friendship and spiritual siblinghood?How do you think different forms of partnerships compete or complement investments into serving community or other facets of pursuing God?What are the practical needs that people have, regardless of whether they are celibate or not, that need to be seriously considered?References:A thoughtful article by our friend Pieter Valk: https://equipyourcommunity.org/celibate-partnerships/Time Stamps:00:00 Kinship Lab #4 - Celibate Partnerships01:19 Revoice Buzz02:38 Why This Episode07:08 Defining Celibate Partnership10:29 Valk's Argument Overview15:43 Tapestry of Kinship19:32 Strengths of the Article24:17 Core Critiques33:18 Romance and Vocation Boundaries36:49 Biblical Examples and Categories42:33 (Mis)Using Love Bible Verses and Inspiration for Partnership46:35 Not Marriage Lite55:00 Hot Take on Growth01:00:28 Why Marriage Is Unique01:05:23 Explaining Celibate Partnerships Publicly01:10:36 Distinctions, Research, and Pastoral Anxiety01:16:16 Constructive Feedback Wishlist Get full access to New Kinship at newkinship.substack.com/subscribe

The Book of Jonah - Jonah 4:5-11 - Jesus in the Tapestry of Jonah by City|U Lubbock

In this episode of See See by Ceci, Rudolph Tanzi, one of the world's most influential neuroscientists, takes us inside the mind as it builds, and as it begins to come undone. Joseph P. and Rose F. Kennedy Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School, director of the Genetics and Aging Research Unit and co-director of the McCance Center for Brain Health at Massachusetts General Hospital, co-founder of the Cure Alzheimer's Fund, and named by TIME one of the 100 most influential people in the world, Tanzi co-discovered the very first Alzheimer's genes and helped create the groundbreaking “Alzheimer's in a Dish” model that has transformed the search for a cure. In this luminous and deeply human conversation, Tanzi traces the disease from its first description by Alois Alzheimer in 1906 (the strange plaques and tangles no one believed could cause a mind to slip away), to the golden age of treatment now within reach. He walks us through the three pathologies of plaques, tangles and inflammation; the genes he discovered and the blood test that can now see the disease coming; the brain's housekeeper cells, the microglia, and their Macbeth-like turn from caretakers to killers; and the kitchen-sink logic of the drugs his lab is racing to trials: turn off the tap, unclog the drain, stop the overflow. He shares SHIELD, his lifestyle plan for brain health, and the gut–brain axis that lets food become medicine for the mind. And then the conversation goes deep. Tanzi reflects on memory as a tapestry woven from a hundred billion neurons; on the hippocampus, the little seahorse that gives the world its context; on why music memory survives when almost everything else is gone. He speaks, with rare openness, about awareness and the self, about lucid dreaming and terminal lucidity, about the feelings of beauty, awe and love that he believes AI may mimic but never be, and finally about his conviction that everything is, ultimately, consciousness. Along the way we hear neuroscientist John Cryan on the gut microbiome and the food that feeds the brain; Cognitive neuropsychologist and Harvard Professor Alfonso Caramazza on prosopagnosia and the emotion that endures when recognition fails; four-time Grammy winner Terri Lyne Carrington and the documentary Alive Inside; photographer Domingo Milella on water, minerals and the camera obscura; parapsychology researcher Dean Radin on the taboo edges of mind; and a chorus of artists, Gregory Halpern, Marina Viotti, Andrei Ioniță, Cecilia Rivera and Kerem Hassan, on creativity, flow, and the blurring of time and space, a current that runs through Tanzi himself, a prolific musician who has recorded and performed with the likes of Aerosmith, Joe Perry and Johnny Depp. This is an episode about a terrifying disease, and about the relentless creativity, courage and compassion working to defeat it. About what memory is, what the self is, and what remains when both are taken. And about a scientist who insists, against one of the cruellest diseases of our time, now assures us: "I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel."

Why is the global sustainability transition failing?In Part 3 of The Extractive Tapestry, we drop the raw data receipts on how the trillion-dollar modern war machine, corporate defense monopolies, and the military-industrial complex (MIC) structurally block renewable energy growth to protect private wealth and infinite expansion.From the 1993 "Last Supper" Pentagon dinner that consolidated our plastic-wrapped, fossil-fuel-dependent lifestyle, to the modern revolving door of defense tech-bros and billionaire WhatsApp groups colluding to crush public dissent—we are pulling back the curtain on the design of the fail.

We are currently revisiting The Restore Project series. We hope you enjoy going back with us.Welcome to The Restore Project — a series centered around Psalm 23. Here is Session 6.  (Feel free to listen in any order.) 2 Corinthians 12:10That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. Sometimes I expect way more from my human self than I have to give. I fight it and want to be more. Picture a sheep with a superhero cape. I am a new creation, but I am still bound by gravity, just like all of us. I am deeply grateful that God chose to show both sides of the human tapestry in Scripture. Both the messy, tangled side full of mistakes, sin, defeat and doubt, and also the beautiful side filled with forgiveness, restoration, patience and healing.Psalm 23 is the beautiful side of the tapestry. It took David a lot of messes and heartache to produce such art.  If you would like to support this podcast with a monthly or one-time gift, thank you!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.sherriyoungward.com/support⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠To find out about upcoming gatherings and new projects, please join my email list at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.sherriyoungward.com

Tuesday 19th May 2026 - Scott Baio's Tapestry. Rich and Ally are back with news of a very important study on the Bayeaux Tapestry, but then have to stop as Rich has to go to a parent teacher thing at his kids' school. Never happened to John Craven. That's why it's under 5 minutes today though.

Yann LeCun, Turing Award winner and former Chief AI Scientist at Meta, joins Jacob Effron. The conversation centers on Yann's contrarian thesis that LLMs are a dead-end on the path to human-level intelligence, despite being useful products — because they can't predict the consequences of their actions, can't plan, and fundamentally can't model the messy, high-dimensional real world. He unpacks his alternative architecture, JEPA (Joint Embedding Predictive Architecture), which learns abstract representations rather than generating pixel-level predictions, and explains why this approach is essential for robotics, industrial applications, and any system that needs to operate beyond the substrate of language. Yann also reveals the real story behind his departure from Meta (he had zero technical influence on Llama, contrary to public narrative), the genesis of his Tapestry project for sovereign open-source AI, why he believes LLMs are intrinsically unsafe, where he diverges from his fellow Turing laureates Hinton and Bengio, and why he predicts the industry will recognize the paradigm shift by early 2027. Throughout, he offers candid reflections on the tension between research and product at major labs, and why he intentionally headquartered AMI Labs in Paris with zero Silicon Valley VC money.   (0:00) Introduction  (01:45) Why LLMs Aren't the Path to Intelligence  (07:51) AMI and World Models  (12:07) The JEPA Architecture Explained  (15:55) Problems with Robotics Models Today  (20:37) Silicon Valley Herd Behavior  (28:18) Tapestry: Sovereign AI for the Rest of the World  (35:49) OpenAI Is the Next Sun Microsystems  (40:51) Why Yann's Views Diverged from Hinton & Bengio  (44:32) LLMs Are Intrinsically Unsafe  (58:00) Why Yann Left Meta  (1:00:26) Reflections on FAIR  (1:12:11) Advice for PhD Students   LeWorldModel Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.19312   With your host:  @jacobeffron  - Partner at Redpoint

Amazon, Walmart, and Costco aren't just winning—they're pulling away. In episode 301, Steve Dennis and Michael LeBlanc dig into what Steve calls "Retail's Great Concentration": the accelerating shift of sales, traffic, and profit toward a small group of super-scalers. Fresh data shows just six retailers now capturing a disproportionate share of industry growth—and the structural forces behind it, from fulfillment economics to consumer migration toward convenience and value, aren't slowing down. The conversation revisits two of Steve's core frameworks—Death in the Middle and the bifurcation between value/convenience and premium/specialty—and traces how the Great Concentration is the logical next chapter. Central to the discussion is the distinction between buying and shopping: buying is about efficiency, price, and speed; shopping is about inspiration, discovery, and emotional engagement. For mid-market retailers, that distinction is existential. If you can't out-Amazon Amazon, where do you actually create differentiated value? Steve also addresses AI—useful, even transformational, but not a substitute for the human side of retail: experience, service, and genuine connection. In the news: Tapestry delivers strong earnings, with Coach standing out on the strength of sharp customer insights and disciplined brand execution. Warby Parker shows continued profitable growth and store expansion, though slowing momentum raises questions about discretionary spending. Then comes the year's most head-scratching retail story: GameStop's bid for eBay. Steve dissects the financial logic—or conspicuous lack thereof. The hosts also examine Saks Global's restructuring and debate whether the luxury retailer has a credible path to relevance post-bankruptcy. Finally, on the radar: soft travel demand around the 2026 FIFA World Cup and what it may mean for hospitality, tourism, and local retail—plus the return of dynamic pricing, and yes, world peace.

Shannon Chakraborty's novel The Tapestry of Fate, the second installment in the The Adventures of Amina-al Sarafi, encounters the titular Amina at a time of transition. trying to balance her work on her ship chasing arcane artifacts and time on land spent raising her daughter Marjana. After interference from her estranged husband, Amina finds herself and her crew on a possibly futile quest to steal a spindle from a mysterious sorceress on an island that no one can escape. Despite the presence of magic that complicates the perception of reality itself, Amina remains determined to find a way home for herself and her crew. In this interview, Chakraborty describes her longstanding affection for the history of the Indian Ocean in the 12th century, the wealth of primary sources we have from that time period, and the process of sharing her love of history with readers. She discusses the role of magic and gender in the medieval Islamicate world, research rabbit holes, and the importance of middle aged protagonists in fantasy. We also chat about crafting a fun adventure story and the role of textiles and religion across time. The Tapestry of Fate is a joyful and empathetic novel full of adventure and a deep appreciation for the past. It was an absolute joy discussing it with the author. Learn more about your ad choices.

The traditional corporate ladder is a relic of the past. While we once viewed career growth as a predictable, linear climb, today's AI-driven landscape has replaced that fixed path with a much more fluid reality. In this episode, Denise Kulikowsky, CPO of Tapestry, joins me to explore the rise of the non-linear career path and how forward-thinking companies are formalizing professional fluidity to drive innovation. Tapestry, the parent company of Coach and Kate Spade, utilizes a "walk, run, fly" AI strategy where tools are treated as enablers for employees to proactively direct their own development. Denise reframes the concern that using AI is "cheating" by emphasizing that it is an efficiency tool, provided employees remain accountable for the final output. Denise highlights key strategies like the Talent Communities program, which facilitates six-month global job swaps for senior managers and directors to drive cultural immersion. The company also uses a "magic and logic" approach to build success profiles that define future-ready behaviors like leading with courage and activating the vision. Additionally, she shares insights on bridging the gap between frontline and corporate roles through rotational programs that bring store leaders into the home office.
