Near the end of The Tempest, Prospero vows to retire from practicing the “rough magic” he has mastered, to break his magical staff and drown his spellbooks. After 14 seasons as Artistic Director of Canada's Stratford Festival, Antoni Cimolino has chosen to direct The Tempest as part of his final season before he, too, enters retirement. As possibly the final play Shakespeare wrote alone, The Tempest has often represented a goodbye, or at least a sea change. For Cimolino, who started his career in Stratford nearly 40 years ago, it's a big change indeed. The documentary This Above All, premiering later this month, follows his tenure leading North America's largest classical repertory company through a historic expansion, a pandemic, and dozens of powerful productions. In this episode, Cimolino discusses revisiting a play, the power of forgiveness, the show that sparked his love for theater, the surprising role toaster ovens played in his early career, and the “rough magic” that makes theater possible.

Today's guest, Caro Pirri, is the author of Colonial Failure and Theatrical Form in Early Modern England: Stages of Unsettlement (Oxford University Press, 2025). This book explores how early modern colonial travel writing informed the London theater's spatial and placemaking conventions. It suggests that what the stage found most compelling about narratives of colonial settlement was their failure to claim interpretive control over unfamiliar places and people. The book goes on to link colonial misreadings of places and people to theatrical strategies for staging disorientation, which Pirri characterizes as a condition of “unsettlement.” Each chapter focuses on a specific formal device that emerged from colonial misreadings: “uncommonplacing” in Richard Hakluyt's travel compendium; metonymic possession in Christopher Marlowe's Tamburlaine; “seasoning” in Ben Jonson's city comedies; “stagewreck” in Shakespeare's The Tempest; and “stagework” in the Lord Mayor's Shows. By approaching form as an interpretive process that is always engaged in the act of making and being made, Colonial Failure and Theatrical Form offers a model for reading past the seeming impasses of colonial narratives. It shows how narratives of failed settlement served as a productive resources for the formal worldmaking conventions of early modern theater. Jane Hwang Degenhardt is Professor English at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. She is the author of Globalizing Fortune on the Early Modern Stage (Oxford UP, 2022) and Islamic Conversion and Christian Resistance on the Early Modern Stage (Edinburgh UP, 2012).

Jun pondered.Ko: 손에 땀이 났습니다.En: His hands were sweaty.Ko: 그는 자연의 아름다움을 포착하는 것을 좋아합니다.En: He loved capturing the beauty of nature.Ko: 이번 축제에서는 그가 준비한 사진을 선보이고 싶었습니다.En: In this festival, he wanted to present the photos he had prepared.Ko: 그러나 빗줄기는 점점 더 거세졌습니다.En: However, the rain was getting stronger and stronger.Ko: 혜진은 조용히 옆에 앉아 있었습니다.En: Hyejin was sitting quietly beside him.Ko: 그녀의 조언은 항상 도움이 되었습니다.En: Her advice was always helpful.Ko: “비가 그치지 않을 수도 있지만 도전을 피할 수 없어,” 그녀가 차분히 말했습니다.En: "The rain might not stop, but you can't avoid the challenge," she said calmly.Ko: 둘은 함께 나가기로 결정했습니다.En: They decided to go out together.Ko: 우산과 비닐을 사용해 카메라를 지키면서 말입니다. 마을의 좁은 길을 지나면서, 시원한 바람이 홍수를 막기 위한 파도를 맞이했습니다.En: Using umbrellas and plastic covers to protect the camera, they waded through the narrow village streets, facing the waves built up to prevent flooding from the cool wind.Ko: 산의 봉우리는 비구름 속에 가려졌지만, 그 순간 준의 마음속에 찬란한 장면이 펼쳐졌습니다.En: The mountain peaks were obscured by rain clouds, but at that moment a brilliant scene unfolded in Jun's mind.Ko: 검은 구름과 밀려오는 바람 사이에서 햇빛이 부드럽게 스며들었습니다.En: Sunlight softly seeped through the black clouds and the incoming wind.Ko: 그는 순간을 놓치지 않았습니다.En: He didn't miss the moment.Ko: 셔터를 누르는 순간 모든 것은 조화를 이루었습니다.En: As he pressed the shutter, everything came together in harmony.Ko: 축제는 예정대로 진행되었습니다.En: The festival proceeded as scheduled.Ko: 비는 그쳤고, 사람들은 하나둘 모여들었습니다.En: The rain stopped, and people began to gather one by one.Ko: 준의 사진은 거대한 예술 작품으로서 벽에 걸렸고, 그 위력과 아름다움에 모든 사람이 감탄했습니다.En: Jun's photo was hung on the wall as a massive art piece, and everyone marveled at its power and beauty.Ko: 수민은 준의 옆에 서서 웃으며 말했습니다. “너 정말 잘했어. 네 사진, 아주 멋져!”En: Sumin stood next to Jun and said with a smile, "You really did well. Your photo is wonderful!"Ko: 준은 살짝 미소 지었습니다.En: Jun smiled slightly.Ko: 그는 이제 자신의 가치를 느낄 수 있었습니다.En: He could now feel his own worth.Ko: 시간이 지나며 준은 중요한 교훈을 얻었습니다.En: As time passed, Jun learned an important lesson.Ko: 위험과 도전을 두려워하지 않고 맞서는 것은 가치 있는 일임을 깨달았습니다.En: He realized that facing risks and challenges without fear is a worthwhile endeavor.Ko: 자유의 날을 기념하는 이번 축제는 준에게 새로운 시작이었습니다.En: This festival celebrating the day of freedom marked a new beginning for him.Ko: 자유롭게 자신의 꿈과 도전을 계속 이어나가겠다는 다짐을 하면서.En: As he resolved to continue pursuing his dreams and challenges freely.

The PHP Podcast – July 30, 2026 Hosts: Joe Ferguson, Sara Golemon & Holly Schilling Time travel is real, birds aren’t. The gang argues about Fahrenheit vs. Celsius, boiling rocks, and stones (the weight kind), then gets into PSR-3 logging, the PHP ecosystem, AI slop bug reports, Codeberg’s anti-AI stance, and Laravel Cloud’s scale-to-zero magic. Fahrenheit, Boiling Rocks, and Byte-Ordering Dates The show opened with Joe admitting he jumbles her hours, minutes, and seconds — and getting mocked by Europeans for a cache-control header PR on the PHP website. That kicked off a tangent about how the American month-day-year ordering is, as Sara put it, “middle-endian” nonsense that makes no sense as a byte ordering. From there the crew tumbled down a rabbit hole of measurement units. Joe planted his flag on Fahrenheit as the human-centered temperature scale, while Sara argued that if you stop being “speciesist” about it, water-based Celsius wins. The debate somehow escalated into whether rocks boil, with Google eventually schooling everyone that molten rock vaporizes north of 3,000°C (5,400°F), and a callback to British “stones” as boomer energy nobody younger than half a century actually uses. Proper Logging with PSR-3 Joe walked through Marco Pivetta’s blog post on proper logging with PSR-3, praising it as a great write-up on injecting loggers via dependency injection and the “some logs are better than no logs” philosophy. A common trap Marco calls out: apps stuffed with beautifully descriptive info-level logs that nobody ever sees because production never runs in info mode. The big selling point of sticking to a PSR-3-compatible interface is minimal dependencies — instead of pulling in three or four packages and wiring up a pile of configuration, the upstream decisions are already made for you. Holly pushed back on the ergonomics of `$this->logger->error()` feeling heavy for every log call, which spun off a delightfully unhinged RFC pitch: built-in emoji functions where the emoji logs an error and logs a panic. The Ecosystem Is Why People Stay The hosts pushed back on the recurring “PHP needs feature X because language Y has it” argument. Sara’s take: if another language is genuinely the better tool, nothing stops you from using it — and revamping PHP’s onboarding process is a far better way to attract newcomers than chasing features would-be developers may never even use. Holly cut to what everyone had glossed over: the ecosystem. You can write Swift on the server with Vapor, but you won’t have the libraries. Whatever you need in PHP, it already exists. A listener even pointed Joe at Brent Roose’s Tempest framework mid-stream to solve a code-highlighting problem on his blog. That gravitational pull of “whatever you need, it’s here” is what keeps people in the PHP orbit. AI, Layoffs, and Graybeards Sparked by Gemma’s blog post “Infrastructure and Other Paradoxes” — where an LLM cheerfully suggested folding four brand-new tools (Terraform, Nix, NixOS, Guix) into a team that’s expert in none of them — the crew dug into where AI helps and where it hurts. The consensus: AI is a force multiplier for research and analysis, but it can’t replace the human judgment of knowing what *not* to ship. Joe brought up an Inc.com article claiming 55% of leadership now regret their major layoffs, with companies like Ford rehiring graybeards because nobody left knew how the software worked. Holly noted this cycle isn’t new, just operating at a terrifying new scale, and Sara emphasized that AI accelerates shipping crap just as easily as it accelerates shipping good work — you still have to fundamentally understand the changes you’re applying. Codeberg’s Anti-AI Stance & the Slop Bug Report Problem Holly introduced Codeberg — the nonprofit, community-led GitHub alternative built on Forgejo — and its new policy banning AI/vibe-coded contributions, including a clause flagging work disproportionate to a project’s contributor count. The hosts respected the position but worried it might spell the end of Codeberg, since experienced open-source folks lean on AI tooling (like partner CodeRabbit and traditional static analyzers) as force multipliers. That led into Sara’s frustration with AI-generated security slop. Daniel Stenberg shut down Curl’s bug bounty program over reports where someone’s own test program deliberately creates RCEs and blames Curl. The fix, Sara argued, is a one-paragraph “elevator pitch” summary — and a plea to maintainers to mark every slop report as spam so GitHub eventually bans the account. The group riffed on adversarial AI (two Claude contexts checking each other, like Apple Intelligence verifying sports-game summaries) as a defensive triage layer, while acknowledging people are simply too dumb to run “double-check this before submitting.” Laracon: Laravel Cloud Scale-to-Zero Eric was off at Laracon, which meant peak morale at PHP Architect. The coolest announcement, in Joe’s view, was Laravel Cloud’s scale-to-zero: your entire stack — app server, Valkey, and MySQL — can scale down to nothing when idle and spin back up in under 500 milliseconds on the next request. That’s a potential game-changer for side projects with bursty, uneven traffic and no DevOps army. Holly and Sara were skeptical about how you cold-start a MySQL instance that fast — almost certainly a pause/resume rather than a true cold start. Other Laracon news: a Laravel language server protocol for better autocomplete and code navigation, plus managed queues that also scale to zero and only wake when a job needs firing.

Today's guest, Matthew Ritger, is the author of Houses of Correction: Carceral Institutions and Humanist Culture in Early Modern England (U Pennsylvania Press, 2026). This book delves into the archival records of Bridewell, Europe's first house of correction, which was overseen by the humanist reformer Richard Grafton. It makes the case that the Bridewell prison and workhouse were central to the history of humanism in ways that both challenge idealized notions of European humanism and illustrate its commitments to civic and Christian reform. The book explores Bridewell's mission to discipline the poor and the “idle” through hard labor, vocational training, and basic education, while also exposing its coercive and exploitative practices, which included whippings, forced labor, and the infliction of fear. Houses of Correction also explores how Bridewell contributed to a broader humanist culture of correction, which united textual methods with practical forms of knowledge, and which extended to rhetorical and textual forms, as well as literary productions. The book's five chapters connect the history and influence of Bridewell to a range of literary texts, including Thomas More's Utopia, Shakespeare's Henry VIII, Measure for Measure, and The Tempest, and Milton's Of Educationand Samson Agonistes. Through its interrogation of the logic of carceral humanism, Houses of Correction demonstrates the crucial role that Bridewell played in cultivating a culture of correction that pervaded humanist education, textual practices, and literary representations. Jane Hwang Degenhardt is Professor English at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. She is the author of Globalizing Fortune on the Early Modern Stage (Oxford UP, 2022) and Islamic Conversion and Christian Resistance on the Early Modern Stage (Edinburgh UP, 2012). She is also a co-editor of the academic journal English Literary Renaissance. Learn more about your ad choices.

Hell is empty, and all the devils are here. Any good miniseries must include the best game of that genre, so let's discuss Dave Theurer's gorgeous vector Atari game, Tempest. If Tempest was a steak what cut would it be? Why does this episode leave Rob breathless? Was the Cranberries Doors and Windows the best video game of 1995? Did Tempest birth the most popular arcade-based urban legend?

Mayor Mamdani this week blamed the previous administration for a map of immigrant enclaves that didn't include Little Italy, and said the city would include it next time. Hosts Katie Honan and Harry Siegel discuss the mostly bad-faith criticism of the map, the eternal arguments about which New Yorkers are represented and which are neglected, how his administration set itself up to get attacked here, and much more

The left-wing media is in full hysteria over the government's refusal to accept a Supreme Court injunction that directly contradicts the letter of the law. The issue is media regulation — and, as Gadi explains, it is political, not legal. It is high time the cabinet stopped letting itself be bullied by a full-blown progressive court. Also in this episode: Is Mike's interpretation of the MOU turning out to be more accurate than Gadi's — and Dan Shueftan's?

Amid a desperate retreat through Ors Themar, the party is scattered and under relentless pressure. A draegloth pins down Arguile, Shanks teeters on the brink of death, Galahad draws constant enemy fire, and Yurik struggles to regroup with the others. Through quick thinking, Zechs, Salix, Duo, and the rest manage to extract Arguile, rescue Shanks, free Galahad, Turk, and Glad from a magical binding, and reunite the party. They are then led to safety by Enich, Yurik's son and Arguile's half-brother, who provides refuge, shares what he knows of Ors Themar, and helps them recover before guiding them toward an escape route. After narrowly escaping the city, the party reflects on what they've witnessed during camp while Arguile's mysterious stone rapidly counts down. Shanks discovers a copper coin and a raven's feather, and growing signs point to Arioch's manipulation. Racing back into the city after the stone reaches zero, they find Dorna missing, identify Yurik's sword as Tempest's Edge, and rush to answer Shepard Miles' summons.At the cemetery, Arioch reveals the devastating truth: Yurik is Arguile's biological father, having sacrificed his own heart to save his son at the cost of everyone's memories. Later reunited with Dorna through Arioch's cruel amusement, the two unknowingly had Enich together. Arioch forces father and son to duel for the right to become his general, threatening to endlessly kill and resurrect Dorna until they comply while infecting Enich with the same deadly illness that once plagued Arguile. Though the party aids from the sidelines, they are powerless to stop him. Yurik ultimately chooses to go willingly with Arioch after an emotional farewell, leaving the party to battle Shepard Miles' forces. The ensuing fight quickly becomes a brutal uphill struggle as a necromancer raises undead, a monk repeatedly stuns Galahad and Turk, and the enemy relentlessly presses its advantage. Galahad receives Bahamut's blessing after falling in battle, rising with divine power. At the same time, Arguile slays the cleric, Shanks, Arguile, and Zechs eliminate the monk, and the remaining undead are slowly cleared. The battle reaches its darkest moment when the necromancer casts Power Word Kill, instantly killing Shanks before later dropping Turk with Cone of Cold, while Zechs also falls unconscious.As each fallen hero enters the Veil, they receive life-changing encounters: Shanks speaks with The Hunter, fully awakening Mind's Eye, and later receives the Matron of Ravens' blessing to oppose the Constable; Turk confronts Kas the Bloody-Handed, who strips him of his warlock powers after he refuses to serve him further; and Zechs finds peace with Tumra, the Snow Leopard, awakening with her white handprint upon him. Salix ultimately revives Shanks, the party defeats the remaining enemies, and the family reunites before returning to the city. Though shaken, they recover what spoils they can, spend an evening mourning and celebrating with matching tattoos, share their divine experiences, and help Galahad acquire a Belt of Giant Strength. With new equipment, plans to retrieve Glad's boon, and a long-overdue trip to the Ren Faire ahead, the party finally earns a brief respite after one of the most harrowing chapters of their journey.There's so much happening, and we pick up with arc 30, “The Blooming Court”.

In this episode, we sit with one of the most dramatic moments in the Gospels: Jesus asleep in a boat while his disciples panic in a violent storm on the Sea of Galilee. But the real storm in this passage isn't the one on the water. It's the one inside us. We explore the psychology of crisis, why we respond to the stories we tell ourselves more than to reality itself, and what it actually means to surrender, not as passive defeat but as the most courageous act a person can make. From the circus to the football field to the shores of Galilee, this meditation traces the path from terror to trust, and why Jesus sometimes has to let things get hopeless before he can show us what he can actually do.

An airport director discusses air service and passenger growth, airport expansion, ATC impacts, and the implementation of a new RNP approach. In the news: DCA changes may increase the likelihood of helicopter-on-helicopter collisions, Collaborative Combat Aircraft airframers are selected while mission autonomy software is decoupled, Canada and the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP), harmonizing FAA and EASA certification rules, and another runway near-miss. Guest Paul Bradbury is the Airport Director at the Portland Jetport in Maine. We look at Air service and passenger statistics, and Paul announces the Jetport's first seasonal transcontinental service with United to San Francisco and Los Angeles. He explains the opportunities small hub airports can realize through continued upgauging of aircraft. Paul notes that passengers have been willing to pay higher fares due to increased fuel prices.    See: United Airlines Launches Nonstop Flights from SFO and LAX to Portland Maine. To address parking capacity issues, Paul is now wrapping up the design and permitting for the revised $8.6 million surface parking plan, which the Portland City Council approved in April. This has been a lengthy process, and opposition from some area residents had to be resolved. See: Portland approves $10 million Jetport parking expansion. Paul also tells us about the challenges of Air Traffic Control capacity issues and the FAA’s capping of flights. We also learn about how the Jetport worked with Flight Tech Engineering to implement a new RNP approach to PWM that keeps flights over water. This approach was published on April 16, 2026, but is just now available for assignment by PWM ATC. Aviation News Helicopter collision risk higher after D.C. airspace changes, Coast Guard leaders say Following the January 2025 midair collision, the FAA made changes to the congested airspace around Washington, D.C. But in a public Transportation Research Board (TRB) meeting, U.S. Coast Guard representatives criticized the FAA, saying the revisions may increase the risk of a serious accident between helicopters. The Air Current reports that USCG pilots suggested that “the FAA did not adequately weigh the risks of a helicopter-on-helicopter collision when moving to eliminate helicopter routes and change airspace procedures to protect against close calls between rotorcraft and fixed-wing aircraft.”  The changes put helicopters closer together and made it harder for crews to train for proficiency. The pilots said there was an increased risk of helicopter controlled flight into terrain. In a written statement, FAA assistant administrator for communications Hannah Walden said, “Claims that these changes increased the risk of helicopter-to-helicopter collisions are not supported by the data.” She added that the FAA’s actions were guided by the National Transportation Safety Board’s emergency recommendations following the 2025 crash. The Transportation Research Board is part of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. The Board seeks “to anticipate and solve complex transportation-related challenges.” This is accomplished through more than 5,500 engineers, scientists, and other transportation researchers and practitioners from the public and private sectors and academia. The program is supported by state departments of transportation, federal agencies, and other organizations and individuals. Air Force picks General Atomics, Anduril to build first CCA drone wingmen The Air Force selected General Atomics and Anduril to build the U.S. military’s first Collaborative Combat Aircraft, beating out Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Northrop Grumman in a re-solicited competition. The Anduril FQ-44A Furry and the General Atomics FQ-42A Dark Merlin will be fielded as production aircraft. The acquisition strategy is unique in that the Air Force is pursuing a “software sold separately” approach, in which the purchase of the airframe and the CCA’s mission autonomy software are decoupled. Anduril, RTX Collins Aerospace, and Shield AI were awarded production options for the autonomy software and will compete in a six-month head-to-head round. A primary autonomy provider is expected to be named by summer 2027. Canada Throws A Curveball As It Signals Interest In Joining GCAP Sixth-Gen Fighter Program In a Tokyo meeting, David McGuinty, the Minister of National Defense of Canada, said he is “interested in learning more about” the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP). That next-generation fighter program is a joint venture with BAE Systems (UK), Leonardo (Italy), and Japan Aircraft Industrial Enhancement Co Ltd (JAIEC). Each holds a one-third share in Edgewing. The Tempest is a crewed fighter with a targeted service date of 2035. A demonstrator is currently underway with BAE Systems in the UK. McGuinty said, “I'll take it back to my team and see what it looks ‌like.” The speculation is that Canada could join the GCAP program with “observer status.” FAA Proposes to Speed New Commercial Aircraft Certifications The FAA recently proposed changes to modernize and harmonize commercial aircraft certification rules with EASA. The proposal would provide consistent requirements and reduce the cost, time, and complexity of certifications. This would streamline certification and benefit manufacturers. Aircraft Certification: Comparison of U.S. and European Processes for Approving New Designs of Commercial Transport Airplanes The U.S. Government Accountability Office issued GAO-22-104480 on June 30, 2022. The study directly compared FAA and EASA certification processes and found a significant asymmetry that harmonization could eliminate in the wrong direction. EASA uses a risk-based approach to evaluate compliance findings and reviews the technical basis for compliance determinations, including oversight of all aspects of the airplane’s design. The FAA, by contrast, reviews the completeness of certification packages and compliance determinations in high-risk areas, but this review does not customarily include an independent review of the technical basis for compliance determinations. American Airlines flight aborts takeoff in Miami after business jet enters the same runway After American Airlines Flight 308 bound for Bermuda received takeoff clearance at Miami, the flight crew observed NetJets Flight EJA434 entering the same runway and aborted their takeoff. Addressing the NetJets plane, the controller said, “You just crossed an active runway.” The pilot responded, “You just told me to cross the runway, sir.” The controller said, “No, we said Amerijet 461.” National Air and Space Museum Celebrates 50 Years With Opening of Five New Galleries Hillel attended the National Air & Space Museum media preview for the opening of the five new galleries. He recorded the opening remarks by Christopher Browne, the John and Adrienne Mars Director of the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum. Chris joined the museum as deputy director in 2017 and served as acting director from 2021 to 2022, when he was named director. Hillel also interviewed Carolyn Russo, the curator of the art and trophy collections and the temporary curator of the poster collection. She has over 30 years of experience at the Museum, and is the author of four books: Art of the Airport Tower (Washington, DC: Smithsonian Books, 2015), In Plane View: Abstractions of Flight (New York: powerHouse Books, 2007), Artifacts of Flight (New York: Harry N. Abrams, 2003), and Women and Flight: Portraits of Contemporary Women Pilots (Boston, New York, London: Bulfinch Press, 1997). Mentioned Cirrus announced the opening of its Duluth Talent Center, a multi-million-dollar investment that serves as a hub for community engagement, recruiting, and workforce development. Designed to connect individuals with careers in aerospace, the Talent Center provides direct access to recruiting, technical training, and career development resources in one centralized location.

a discussion surrounding the “Metascript,” a framework used to analyze how governments and power elites exert control by hijacking history and simulating news events. The speaker argues that the news cycle is a “house of cards” built on decades of “history bending,” where simulated events are used to create a singular worldview that legitimizes authority. This analysis is applied to recent events like the staged assassination of Charlie Kirk and the Montreal shooting, which are characterized as manufactured “PsyOps” designed to “pre-sell” the public on future social changes, such as internet censorship and digital IDs.List of Topics* The Metascript and Pattern Literacy: Understanding the continuous, structural script upon which all fake events occur.* Predictive and Concurrent Programming: How movies and media (e.g., The Boys, The Tempest, Sinners) foreshadow real-world simulated events.* The Manufacture of “Woke Right” Extremism: Analyzing the Montreal shooter and his manifesto as a “J-Pill” caricature designed to demonize specific demographics.* Crisis Acting and “Lifetime Actors”: The role of individuals like Charlie and Erica Kirk in performing scripted personas on the world stage.* “Disease X” and the Mind Virus: The narrative of dangerous ideas as viruses to justify internet “quarantines” and lockdowns.* Racialized Martyrs: The use of the Henry Novak and Austin Metcalf cases to fuel “White Lives Matter” sentiment through timed media coordination.5 Quotes from the Sources* “Governments taking control over history and using this to create a singular worldview that justifies, legitimizes, and maybe even gives a divine mandate to their authority.”* “You can no longer rely on the visual deconstruction to say something is fake... you have to have a better form of assessment.”* “Predictive programming is a form of foreshadowing its purposes are... pre-selling us on future fake events so that we get involved in the event rather than... get stuck on the question of is it real.”* “Once you see a mind virus, it signifies that you're aware of these things and how they work... a mind virus is essentially an unsubstantiated belief.”* “I advocate here for, we foment here, a culture of disbelief... If the facts don't support knowing it to be true, I will remain an informed disbeliever.”SummaryThe sources present a theory that global events are no longer organic, but rather carefully choreographed performances designed to guide public response through “guardrails”. By identifying “common denominators” across media and news—such as the specific neck and heart wound locations found in movies like Snake Eyes and Sinners—the speaker claims to expose a manufactured future. Key examples include the Montreal shooter's manifesto, which is viewed as an AI-generated tool to create fear of the “woke right,” and the Henry Novak death, which is linked to symbolic imagery on The Economist covers and movie plots to launch specific political movements. Ultimately, the sources advocate for “pattern literacy” to see through these PsyOps and recognize the structural collusion between government, entertainment, and news media. This is a public episode.

SynopsisThe sources describe a worldview centered on the “Metascript,” a framework suggesting that the power elite and governments exert control by hijacking history and simulating news events to create a “singular worldview” that legitimizes their authority,. The speaker argues that we are currently experiencing the effects of “history bending,” where decades of distorted or manufactured events—such as the staged assassination of Charlie Kirk or the Montreal shooting—are used to guide the public toward specific social outcomes, including internet censorship and the implementation of digital IDs,,. By utilizing “pattern literacy,” the speaker claims one can identify “common denominators” between real-world headlines and entertainment media, revealing that these events are scripted performances rather than organic occurrences,.The Metascript and Hijacked History: The theory that the elite manipulate the timeline of events to maintain power and divine mandates.Simulated Events and Social Engineering: How manufactured crises, such as the “incel” Montreal shooter and “Disease X,” are used to justify internet lockdowns.Predictive and Concurrent Programming: The use of movies and TV shows to “pre-sell” the public on future scripted events.This topic explores the idea that governments have taken control of historical narratives to serve a “power elite”. The speaker describes the current news cycle as resting on a “house of cards” built by previous simulations.Quote: “Governments taking control over history and using this to create a singular worldview that justifies, legitimizes, and maybe even gives a divine mandate to their authority”.Quote: “We are examining the effects of 70 plus years of history bending which is how I describe the effects of distorted or simulated news events distorting the news cycle”.The sources categorize events like the Montreal shooting as manufactured storylines. These events often use “lifetime actors”—individuals playing scripted personas—to create fear of specific political demographics and justify new regulations,.Quote: “It's fake to create the perception of the incels as people who have caught Disease X, radicalized online, given these grievance politics, and now they're dangerous”.Quote: “I think they're painting the picture here that the mind viruses are deadly and they must be quarantined we must lock down the internet”.The speaker emphasizes identifying “common denominators” to prove an event was scheduled. For instance, they link a specific neck wound seen in movies like Snake Eyes and The Tempest to the reported assassination of Charlie Kirk,.Quote: “Predictive programming is a form of foreshadowing its purposes are... pre-selling us on future fake events so that we get involved in the event rather than... get stuck on the question of is it real”.Quote: “The concurrent and predictive programming specifically references neck... this part of the neck seems to have some very specific symbolic meaning“,.Main TopicsTopic Breakdown1.

Shakespeare famously never attended university. But not only has his work inspired generations of scholarship, his plays, too, are filled with scholarly characters. Shakespeare, it seems, took an interest in learning. Perhaps that's why so many people come to Shakespeare for wisdom that they can apply to their own lives. While leading the University of California, Santa Cruz's Shakespeare Workshop, professor and dramaturg Sean Keilen noticed that people look to Shakespeare and the humanities to answer questions like “Who am I? Why am I here? And how should I live?” Keilen's book, Shakespeare's Scholars: Three Lessons from the Liberal Arts, illustrates how learned characters from Hamlet, Love's Labor's Lost, and The Tempest more can guide us to those answers —some through their wisdom, and others through their own flawed judgment. In this episode, Keilen shares vital lessons from Shakespeare's fictional scholars in humility, self-knowledge, and perhaps most importantly, forging connection with others.

Episode #560: “We have to get rid of this military dictatorship. Otherwise the whole country and the coming generations will be in a really troubled situation.” Mun Awng, born in 1960 in Myitkyina, Kachin State, is one of Myanmar's most iconic protest singers and a lifelong advocate for democracy. Raised by a teacher father and nurse mother amid conflict between the Burma Army and the Kachin Independence Army, he learned early about danger and resilience. Music became his refuge — “We only had shortwave radio that I could listen to, so that was my main source of knowledge about music,” he recalls. The Beatles and Western pop inspired him, even as such influences were banned under General Ne Win's regime. By the 1980s, Mun Awng led the band The Rhythm, known for original songs that defied the trend of copying Western tunes. His 1984 debut album 8/82 Inya became a sensation among students and marked a new era in Burmese music. But as censorship tightened, he grew disillusioned and joined the 1988 pro-democracy uprising, where he witnessed deadly crackdowns before fleeing into exile. At the Thai-Myanmar border, Mun Awng joined the All Burma Students' Democratic Front (ABSDF) and began composing revolutionary songs. “We believe that armed struggle is the only way we can remove the military dictatorship,” he says. His revolutionary anthems — Battle for Peace, Tempest of Blood, and Moment of Truth — were smuggled into Burma, hidden under luggage and buried underground, eventually becoming rallying cries for generations. Granted asylum in Norway in 1996, he has continued performing for the diaspora, reminding audiences that “music can do that” — bridge generations and renew hope. Today, Mun Awng remains devoted to his cause: “We have to unite… we have to give our life for the country… until we achieve the ultimate victory.”

Welcome back to another episode of Being Bookish. I'm not quite sure how it happened, but we're almost halfway through 2026, so it's time for a bit of an update, and I am doing it differently this year! In this wrap-up, I am focusing a lot on expectation versus reality in my personal reading experience. I'm going to share my thoughts on the standout books I cannot stop thinking about, the ones that didn't quite hit the spot, and the upcoming releases I am looking forward to later this year. 2026 has brought a brilliant mix of genres, including my very first venture into LitRPG with Matt Dinniman's Dungeon Crawler Carl. I share my thoughts on diving into this massive series, the exciting news of a television adaptation, and how his darker, highly political standalone novel, Operation Bounce House, received a mixed reception from readers on Goodreads and Storygraph. Of course, a completely honest wrap-up means talking about the disappointments too. I open up about my recent DNFs, like Claire North's Slow Gods, why I am trying to be kinder to myself when a book isn't working, and what happens when an individual read simply becomes one of the worst books I've finished all year. On a brighter note, my mission to discover new authors has so far been something of a success (at least I think so), with seventeen new writers added to my list. I discuss the emotional highs of a beautiful contemporary romance read on my birthday—Jill Mansell's Just One Look at You—and contrast it with a highly anticipated Beth O'Leary release that unfortunately turned into a major seafaring plot disappointment. I also explore whether "sequel syndrome" has struck some of the fantasy and romantasy series I loved last year, including Lauren Palphreyman's The Night Prince. Finally, I look ahead to the final six months of 2026. I take a look at some of my most anticipated upcoming releases, from Madeline Miller's short mythological tale Mestra and Carissa Broadbent's dark vampire romantasy The Lion and the Deathless Dark, to Victoria Aveyard's adult debut Tempest.

Episode 221:Last time I took you into the world of the court masque with the help of Kristen Macdermott who, I think you will agree, painted a very detailed picture of that very particular theatrical form and the way the Stuart court embraced it. As we heard, masques were often written by playwrights and performed by actors who also wrote for and performed in the public playhouse, so it's no surprise that a few plays feature masques. We have already encountered short masques in ‘Much Ado About Nothing' and ‘Timon of Athens', with the best known example from ‘The Tempest' still to come and Shakespeare's next offering ‘Anthony and Cleopatra' would, you might think, have been another opportunity to include a masque featuring exotic characters to add to the glamorous setting. In fact, Shakespeare chose not to include a masque specifically, but we can see that he uses the attributes of the masque throughout the play.Masque elements used in ‘Antony and Cleopatra'The dating of the playThe early print history of the playThe sources for the playThe different style of the play from it's near neighboursA brief synopsis of the playHow the main characters and the political story and love story are balanced in the playThe hyperbolic language used in the playThe character of AntonyEquals and opposites in the play and how Antony deals with themThe character of OctaviusThe character of CleopatraThe death of CleopatraAntony and Cleopatra as a Stuart period playA short word on the history of criticism of the playThe later performance history of the play Support the podcast at:www.thehistoryofeuropeantheatre.comwww.patreon.com/thoetpwww.ko-fi.com/thoetpYou can find an advertisement free version of the latest podcast episodes by joining on Patreon at the lowest paid tier level – that's for just £1 per month.

In 1988, a straight-to-VHS satanic panic horror film called Black Roses went nowhere fast. The movie itself is, by any honest assessment, terrible: bright red fake blood, rubber monster suits, Vincent Pastore as a concerned father, and a teacher who kills a possessed student with a tennis racket. What the film left behind, almost accidentally, was a soundtrack worth arguing about.The musicians behind the fictional band Black Roses are King Cobra's core lineup: Marcie Free, Mick Sweda, Carmine Appice, and Chuck Wright. They show up alongside Lizzy Borden, Bang Tango (in their first commercial recording ever, predating Psycho Cafe by a year), Tempest, Hallow's Eve, and a second King Kobra lineup featuring Johnny Edwards, who later sang for Foreigner. Metal Blade Records put full-page ads in every metal magazine. The CD now sells for $50 to $300 on Discogs. Patron Keith Miller paid $100 for his.This week, Jay, Tim, and Chip work through whether this is a hidden gem, a curiosity, or something more complicated: a record that does not fit the artist album model or the showcase compilation model, and lands somewhere between the two.

I welcome Dutch historian Rutger Bregman to the podcast after first messaging him on Instagram and we talk about what I took from his book Humankind and my own wish to bring people together to remember friendship and kindness. Rutger reflects on Dutch directness and equality shaped by living with water, from the 1953 flood to the Delta Works, and shares why he writes for a general audience about big questions of human nature. We discuss his challenge to the “veneer theory” and his belief in “survival of the friendlies,” alongside a real shipwreck story near Tonga where six boys survived 15 months through cooperation. Our conversation turns to bullying, family and attachment, the Second World War and Rutger's research for Moral Ambition on how resistance spreads simply by asking others to help.01:10 Dutch Culture and Directness04:01 Water Engineering and Delta Works05:41 Early Civilizations and Conflict06:58 Why Bregman Writes Big History08:12 Debunking Human Nature Myths10:07 Cooperation at Highclere Today12:49 Tempest and Amoral People13:55 Real Lord of the Flies Story19:00 Bullying Attachment and Family21:41 Victorian Fathers Revisited22:40 Reform Politics And Women23:28 Why Study War24:04 Resistance Myth Debunked25:24 Heroes Are Asked27:29 Unconventional Organizers30:25 Kindness After Loss32:19 Kindness Is Contagious35:03 Lessons From Animals36:18 Veneer Theory And Dickens37:59 British IndirectnessYou can hear more episodes of Lady Carnarvon's Official Podcasts at https://www.ladycarnarvon.com/podcast/New episodes are published on the first day of every month.

Veteran character actor James Karen appeared in over 80 movies, more than 100 television shows and a staggering 5,000 TV commercials. In a career spanning nearly 7 decades (!), he's worked with Frederic March, Lauren Bacall, Gene Hackman, Steven Spielberg, Jane Fonda, Robert Redford and Will Smith, to name a few. Gilbert and Frank phoned James to cover a wide range of topics, including his film debut in the immortal “Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster,” his years-long friendship with the legendary Buster Keaton and his experience sharing a townhouse with Marlon Brando, Wally Cox and Maureen Stapleton. Also, James “sells” Craig T. Nelson a haunted house, a Boy Scout uniform leads to an acting career and a controversial “Jeffersons” episode nearly torpedoes a TV pitchman gig. PLUS: James parties with Clark Gable! Gilbert gets a one-cent residual check! Moe Howard recites from “The Tempest”! And James teaches a teenaged Michael Douglas to drive!
