The Men in Black have haunted UFO lore for more than 70 years. Mysterious visitors. Black suits and black cars. Threatening phone calls. Surveillance. Strange questions. And an unsettling warning: stop talking about what you saw. We explore five chilling first-person accounts involving alleged encounters with the infamous Men in Black, and, in one case, a mysterious Woman in Black. A UFO sighting at Joshua Tree is followed by two eerie men claiming to represent the U.S. Air Force. A military air traffic controller tracks a mysterious object over Afghanistan before two pale men arrive and insist it was only a glitch. After a massive UFO sighting near San Diego, a couple receives bizarre phone calls before supposed "FBI agents" appear at their home. A military veteran encounters two suspicious "roofers" after publicly discussing his UFO experiences. And a longtime investigator is visited by a mysterious woman carrying photographs of his encounter that he never took.

Episode 232: Although ‘Coriolanus' is officially Shakespeare's last Roman tragedy his next play, ‘Cymbeline', is set in the Roman period, but in England, and suggests that Shakespeare was still deeply attracted to Roman history, although in this case his plundering of Roman history was not directly from Plutarch, but another of his favourite sources. There are some themes in ‘Cymbeline' that you will find familiar from ‘Coriolanus' and will encounter again in ‘The Tempest', but once again we have a play from Shakespeare that is not quite like any other of his, despite some shared themes with the later plays. For many Cymbeline remains an enigmatic play, or a flawed experiment, or an example of the work of a playwright growing tired with his work, and perhaps something of all of that is present in the play, but there is, I think, a good argument that Shakespeare was in fact still experimenting with form and content and responding to concerns of his time in his plays just as he always had done.The dating of the playThe early printing of the play‘Innogen' Vs ‘Imogen'The sources for the playA summary of a complicated plot‘Cymbeline' as a tragicomedyThe comic character of ClotenJames 1st as represented by King CymbelineThe historical Britain represented in the playThe nobility of the British characters in the playIachimo, the other Roman characters and the English attitude towards ItaliansThe sons of BalariusImogen – a great Shakespeare heroine or slightly unsatisfying?A brief critical history of the playThe later performance history of the playSupport 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 1597, the first published edition of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet rolled off the printing press. Only a year later, the Spanish colony of Santa Fe was established. While you might not immediately think Shakespeare had much to do with the Latinx experience, Shakespeare's career and the Spanish conquest of the Americas fit into a similar timeline. The Bard in the Borderlands, a three-volume anthology of plays by Chicanx and Indigenous playwrights, explores the possibilities of retelling Shakespeare through the culture, language, and traditions of “la frontera,” or “the borderlands.” Simply defined by co-editor Katherine Gillen as “land that was once Mexico, but… became part of the United States” after the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, there is very little “simple” about the history of this region. Its complex blend of identities and experiences are expressed in fantastic transformations of Shakespeare's work, from a re-imagining of The Tempest set in a Houston school gymnasium to Macbeth's Weird Sisters practicing brujería. In this episode, editors Kathryn Vomero Santos and Katherine Gillen and contributing playwright Andrew Siañez-De La O discuss how these works speak to Mexican American and Indigenous traditions—and what it means to create “a stranger Shakespeare.” From the Shakespeare Unlimited podcast.

[School of Movies 2026] Possibly the greatest playwright the world will ever see, creator of countless clever words and idioms, '"Heart of gold", "Wild goose chase", "Good riddance!" all gifts to the English language. He was also a man whose private life was shrouded in mystery, and for the average person our familiarity with him begins and ends in the one or two plays we are forced to study at school, along with The Lion King and an awareness of crackpot theories surrounding all of these plays being written by someone else (suspects include another playwright with a completely different and humourless style, a tyrannical lord who kicked a pregnant lady in the stomach and a man who died ten years before Billy Shakes stopped producing plays, so it was good of him to leave such a ready supply). Here for you folks now, kicking off Shakestember, we discuss with Willow, a dozen film adaptations, many of which you will definitely want to seek out.

Send us Fan MailWelcome to the Hall of Imagination - and today I'm speaking with one of the characters of William Shakespeare's The Tempest. And today's episode is entitled “CALIBAN: THE ISLAND SPEAKS”First I better briefly fill you in on the opening plot of The Tempest. So: there's a man named Prospero. He used to be a duke—very fancy—then he got kicked out by his own brother. He ends up shipwrecked on an island with his daughter Miranda, brings a library the size of his ego, learns magic, and decides he's the island's new management.On the island, Prospero uses a spirit named Ariel to run errands in the air, and he uses Caliban—to do the heavy lifting on the ground.Meanwhile, Miranda meets Ferdinand, who's young and handsome. And there are two clowns—Stephano and Trinculo—who wander around drunk and accidentally audition for a coup.In the end, Prospero reveals himself, forgives everybody, gets ready to go back to Italy, and the big question is: who gets freedom, who gets punished, and who gets left behind with the island. And you can already tell that this rather complicated plot gets messy.Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

Show SynopsisAugust 27th, 2026 episode of the IPS Deprogramhost Tim discusses the mechanisms of modern psychological operations, media-driven programming, and the widespread psyops that keeps the public in a state of default confusion. SHe breaks down the difference between reflexive “low-information disbelief” (such as robot denialism) and genuine, evidence-based skepticism. * Incredulity vs. Skepticism (The Humanoid Robot Debate)* Tim critiques “robot denialism”, pointing to online communities claiming that videos of Chinese humanoid robot Olympics are entirely fake.* He defines incredulity (low-information disbelief) as dismissing consensus realities simply because they are hard to believe within one's limited frame of reference, comparing robot deniers to people who don't believe in gorillas or zebras.* True skepticism requires gathering every available fact and perspective before drawing a conclusion. Tim notes that while some robotics promotional footage is mocked up, the basic existence of remote-controlled athletic robots is not an extraordinary claim.* The “Twin Timelines” and the “Meta Script”* Human history is divided into two distinct timelines: the real timeline of human experience and a parallel “future fake timeline” engineered via psyops.* These timelines converge in the minds of believers through active public participation in engineered events.* The “meta script” is the pre-scheduled, pre-scripted sequence of historical events planned decades in advance.* Major entertainment platforms (such as Hulu or Netflix) are co-opted to condition the public, using “entertainment counterparts” of major figures like Donald Trump and Elon Musk to foreshadow their real-life arcs. Tim cites the Hulu show Tempest as an example of coordinated predictive programming.* He rejects the theories of alternative media figures (like Crypto K, Alex Fulton, and Mark Devlin) who attribute predictive programming to “supernatural” causes or forces “higher than man,” labeling them as potential feds or gatekeepers designed to obscure the mundane reality of government-controlled media.* Celebrity Idolatry and Gematria Codes* Celebrities function as “idols” or representatives of ancient gods for a world-controlling cult.* Tim connects the timing of major celebrity deaths and retirements to symbolic numbers; for instance, Dick Cheney's death coinciding with the opening of the One World Trade Tower, featuring highly-coordinated 9/11 flight number codes and imagery.* He also points to Dolly Parton dying at 8:25 AM at age 80, matching another actor's death, and Klaus Schwab stepping down from the WEF at the same time the Pope died or stepped down, both at age 88.* The Myth of the “Vax Apocalypse”* Tim argues that the anti-vaccine movement lost all credibility when its predicted “massive die-off” failed to occur in 2021 and 2022.* He claims anti-vaxxers have become “propaganda mules spreading fear porn on behalf of Big Brother,” holding onto “doom hope” because they desperately want a disaster to vindicate their beliefs.* Psyop Continuity: The Case of Lindsay Clancy* Tim states that the high-profile case of Lindsay Clancy (the mother accused of killing her children) is an entirely simulated psyop. He asserts that she is an actress and no children were actually killed.* To prove the continuity of this casting, he notes that her defense psychiatrist, Dr. Philip Resnick, has also consulted on other famous “psyop” cases, including those of Jeffrey Dahmer, Timothy McVeigh, Casey Anthony, the Unabomber, and James Holmes.* He compares the public's captivation with child killers to “Barbie Feminism,” referencing how the Barbie movie opens with girls destroying their baby dolls to enter “Barbie Land”.* Adopting the “Non-Position”* Taking an “anti-position” (such as being anti-Bill Gates or anti-Fauci) forces individuals to huddle behind government-appointed shepherds and controlled-opposition agents.* Modern conspiracy theories (e.g., 5G towers, chemtrails, Bill Gates) are merely updated “hyperstitions”—replacements for ancient superstitions like werewolves or curses—designed to keep freethinkers controlled by low-grade terror and fear.* An analytical “non-position” is the only way to remove emotional reactivity and view the media ecosystem objectively.Memorable Quotes* On being unconfused: “In a land where the default is confusion, I am unconfused. And you don't get unconfused by staying ambiguous about things that you should be able to determine for yourself.”* On the nature of skeptics vs. trolls: “Nobody with a legitimate desire to know the truth is just asking questions. The people who want to know are seeking answers. And that's what I do.”* On how belief controls the mind: “They are controlling you by making you believe in those things... Your belief in the scary things is what controls you. I would almost say that the entire body of conspiracy theories is a meta conspiracy.”* On the two timelines: “So we have our past, present, future... The truth of it is, the future is written in advance.”* On “doom hope”: “So the anti-vaxxers were still clinging to the doom hope that there was a massive die off so they could say, I told you so... And they don't want to admit that they were propaganda mules spreading fear porn on behalf of Big Brother...” The Erica Kirk conundrum is a concept the host, Tim, uses to describe what he views as irrefutable evidence that major public figures are pre-scripted characters with fictional counterparts in mainstream media.Specifically, the “conundrum” refers to how Erica Kirk's real-life story—which Tim says the public watched unfold on September 11th—mirrors the character arc of “the Widow” in Hulu's show, Tempest.According to Tim, this overlapping narrative is not a coincidence. Instead, it demonstrates how individuals who participate in multiple historic events are assigned entertainment counterparts to condition the public. He argues that if someone is still “stuck on these people are real,” they are operating from a position of “ignorance about how this thing works”. This is a public episode.

When does a wine discount become too good to be true? In this episode, we unpack a court's decision allowing a lawsuit against Safeway over its wine pricing practices to move forward, after plaintiffs challenged whether the retailer's advertised discounts were based on genuine former prices. The case highlights a familiar risk in promotional advertising: a “sale” price can create legal exposure if the reference price used to show the discount does not reflect the price consumers actually paid for a meaningful period. As the litigation continues, the decision serves as another reminder that retailers should carefully substantiate comparative and former-price claims before raising a glass to their next promotion.

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).

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).

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.

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 second in our Shakespeare trilogy: songs about tempests, storms, heavy rain, thunder, lightning and conflagrations.

We've been hard at work cooking behind the scenes but are finally back with another one. This episode, we built an actual war room to plan an invasion of Rimuru's kingdom from 'That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime' because someone thought "how hard could it be, he's literally a slime" was a good pitch.  Commander (Highlander) has final say. Intel Lead (Parker Zensai) leads the Tempest briefing (Benimaru alone should be illegal). Red Team Lead (Apollus Prime) spends the whole ep shredding every plan before it leaves the room. Will we come out of this potential war in one piece? Will Rimuru show mercy? Find out this time on The Anime Freshmen Podcast. Every effort is made to keep spoilers to a minimum. (The only exception being older titles)

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? We answer your most pressing questions like, have we played Arcade Paradise or similar arcade operator simulators, what's our advice on staying cool, and would we rather be paid $1 million or earn $1,000 for every hotdog we eat.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
