The NWA's AJ Cazana joins me to discuss elections. THE NWA Presidency of course. What did you think? We discuss free and fair elections. how nepotism is a lie, how his father won a free and fair election - easily, and how many ways AJ is over his brother.We also discuss some aspects of the potential new podcast effort between he and Silas Mason. This conversation goes far and wide but sticks tomy core topics of wrestling kayfabe, breaking a little kayfabe, and talking about the alternative parts of the world. There's a fair amount of confusion over the corner store clerk's name and why Hunter Drake is always around.A few shout outs to Aron Stephens may have happened.

Donald Trump holdt tidenes lengste State of the Union-tale i natt, og han var ikke ferdig snakket før det var gått én time og 47 minutter. Men klarte han å overbevise noen av velgere han har mistet det siste året? Eller var dette mest av alt en tale for menigheten? Noe som er sikkert, er i hvert fall at han utnyttet sin evne til å gjenkjenne gode TV-øyeblikk. Dem var det mange av i nattens tale. Korrespondent Kjetil Hanssen ble linselus der han satt i salen. Han diskuterer talen med programleder Kristoffer Rønneberg. Produsent: Peter Daatland. Foto: Kenny Holston / New York Times

In this episode, a sit down with acclaimed costume designer Natalie Bronfman, whose work spans some of the most visually striking and emotionally charged productions of the last decade. From the dystopian iconography of The Handmaid's Tale, to the tactile, world‑building detail of See Season Two, to the stylized tension of the recent Psycho Killer, Bronfman's designs reveal a deep understanding of character, culture, and the power of clothing to shape story. Our conversation was recorded a few years ago at San Diego Comic-Con, where Natalie reflected on the winding, hands-on journey that led her to become one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary costume design. About Natalie Bronfman Natalie's path into costume design wasn't linear — and that's part of what makes her work so layered. She learned the craft from the ground up, absorbing everything from textile knowledge to tailoring, from historical research to the psychology of color and silhouette. That breadth of experience informs her ability to design costumes that feel lived-in, symbolic, and emotionally resonant. Her credits include: The Handmaid's Tale — redefining modern dystopian costuming with garments that became global cultural symbols See (Season Two) — crafting a tactile, post-apocalyptic world built around blindness, texture, and survival Psycho Killer — bringing a sharp, stylized edge to a contemporary thriller SAVE 17% ON SCI-FI TALK PLUS

**WARNING: This episode contains details involving suicide and suicidal ideation and may be disturbing and triggering for some listeners. If you are struggling, you aren't alone. Dial 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline** On the morning of January 25, 2018, the lifeless body of 71 year old retiree Alan Abrahamson was found shot to death in a large open field in Palm Beach Garden, Florida.  At first glance, his death appeared to be self-inflicted, but the problem with that is when they searched around and underneath Alan's body, there was no gun to be found.  So, this had to have been at the hands of somebody else.  But who?  And why is it Alan appeared to be so at peace when he died?  If someone was chasing after him to shoot him, how is it he appeared as though he simply laid down and peacefully went to sleep?  It had detectives scratching their heads...until one of them remembered seeing a case similar to this on CSI... What happened to Alan Abrahamson? LINKS:Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/killaforniapodPayPal:  https://www.paypal.coCashm/paypalme/killaforniapodMerchandise:  https://killaforniadreamingpodcast.threadless.com/Website:  https://killaforniadreamingpodcast.buzzsprout.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KillaforniaDreamingPodcastFacebook Group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/1296620370450345/Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/killaforniadreamingInstagram:  https://www.instagram.com/killaforniadreamingpod/?hl=enX:  https://twitter.com/killaforniapodEmail:  killaforniapod@gmail.comTikTok:  @killaforniadreamingpod Cash App:  $KDpodcastSOURCES:https://www.oxygen.com/accident-suicide-or-murder/crime-news/alan-abrahamson-commits-suicide-using-weather-balloonhttps://www.newsbreak.com/oxygen-509656/4362190851887-florida-man-takes-his-own-life-in-elaborate-suicide-plan-using-a-weather-balloonhttps://www.cnn.com/2018/07/17/us/palm-beach-gardens-suicide-murder-abrahamson-trnd/https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2018/07/16/florida-man-faked-his-murder-using-gun-and-weather-balloon/787566002/https://www.oxygen.com/accident-suicide-or-murder/crime-news/thomas-hickman-found-shot-on-new-mexico-road-ruled-suicideSupport the show

The Epstein Files chaos has exposed serious failures inside the DOJ. Is it time for AG Pam Bondi to step aside? This episode breaks down what the Epstein Files reveal, what they do not, and why accountability requires more than document dumps and political theater. The controversy surrounding the Epstein Files has spiraled into confusion, speculation, and institutional dysfunction. This analysis separates allegation from evidence, examines the Department of Justice's handling of the release, and asks whether meaningful reform is possible. Covering everything from due process and the presumption of innocence to congressional grandstanding and structural oversight failures, this episode delivers clarity in a moment dominated by noise. What You'll Learn Why the Epstein Files chaos reflects deeper DOJ leadership failures The difference between moral outrage and prosecutable evidence How Congress contributed to the dysfunction through performative oversight Why chaotic disclosure without context damages public trust What a serious, structured accountability commission should look like What Attorney General Pam Bondi and the DOJ can learn from the restructuring of the DNI under Tulsi Gabbard This is not about protecting the powerful. It is about restoring equal justice under law and demanding competence from institutions that hold immense power over American lives.

Sunday,  February 22nd 2 Samuel 2:1-32 Lead Pastor Tim Davis @ Christ The King Church. A non-denominational Christian Church located in Canby, OR. (www.ctkcanby.com)

The post Equipping Hour: A Tale of Two Kings – Mark 6:7-30 appeared first on Grace Bible Church.

Good Sunday to you,Geoffrey Chaucer wrote The Canterbury Tales in around 1400, and it is considered one of the first great works of English literature.Try reading it today and you might question the “English” part. Here're the opening lines:Whan that Aprille with his shoures soote,The droghte of March hath perced to the roote,It does not get much easier.Canterbury Tales is the story of group of pilgrims who walk from Southwark to Canterbury Cathedral. I have done the pilgrimage myself and I would urge you to as well. The structure is quite simple. To pass the time, the pilgrims have to a storytelling contest and so each tells his or her tale. There are around thirty pilgrims - in effect, thirty professions, and so we get the Knight's Tale, the Miller's Tale, the Wife of Bath's Tale and so on.Here is the interesting part. Since the story was written in 1400 we have had, off the top of my head, the printing press, the Agricultural Revolution, the Industrial Revolution, steam power, fossil fuels, the internal combustion engine, electricity, aviation, nuclear power, computers, the internet, smartphones and now artificial intelligence.And yet, if you look the list of characters below, every single one of Chaucer's professions still exists in some recognisable form today.You could go all the way back to the dawn of civilisation and argue the same thing. We still have farmers. We still have merchants. We still have lawyers, doctors, religious people, soldiers, landlords, craftsmen, entertainers, administrators and hustlers.AI will change the nature of the job, but it will not erase the underlying human needs that created it.Machines put many farm labourers out of work at the turn of the 19th century, but they also generated enormous productivity, which created new industries and new jobs, and, it's worth noting, productivity which enabled us to be able to ban slavery. The net result was not mass permanent unemployment but rising prosperity.What Actually ChangesWhat does get destroyed is power structure.Feudalism has gone. The Church no longer dominates European politics - not the Christian Church, anyway. Guilds have faded. The landed aristocracy has all but gone. In their place we have the modern State, bureaucracy, multinational banks, global corporations, Big Tech, Big Pharma, the mainstream media and so on.AI is more likely to erode existing hierarchies than to eliminate work altogether. It will compress middle layers. It will reduce friction. It will concentrate power in some places and decentralise it in others.If you live in a third world country such as the UK, I urge you to own gold or silver. The pound will be further devalued, as will the euro and dollar. The bullion dealer I recommend is The Pure Gold Company. More here.The winners are likely to include: platforms, energy producers, owners of scare assets, large scale infrastructure, those who control distribution. AI is already being used in manufacturing, agriculture and mining, but so much to replace jobs as to increase productivity. You can't help feeling the physical economy is a better place to be than parts of the digital - at least for now, though I guess robots are next if those Chinese videos doing the rounds are anything to go by.Who else wins? AI and machine learning engineers, obviously, certain content creators, those who get good at prompting will find it useful for anything from medicine to plumbing to consultancy.The losers will be among those whose job is mainly to control access to or verify information that AI can now do instantly. Think: interpreters and translators, proofreaders and editors, coders, copywriters and journalists, graphic designers, sales reps, basic financial advisors. I think long-distance drivers' days are numbered too.The work doesn't disappear but the pricing power and margins collapse.Legacy media distribution - not the content creators themselves, but the distribution gatekeepers who controlled which creators reached audiences. Publishers who mainly performed filtering rather than editing, talent agencies for routine work, certain music labels.The job may technically exist but the power and economics drain away.Chaucer's Cast, ModernisedFinally, below is Chaucer's professional cross-section of medieval England. I have added approximate modern equivalents.* Narrator – content creator (!)* Host – Event organiser, podcast presenter* Knight – Army officer* Squire – Cadet, trainee officer* Knight's Yeoman – Bodyguard, fixer, executive assistant* Prioress – Headmistress, senior religious leader* Second Nun – Clergy* Nun's Priest – Chaplain* Monk – Monk* Friar – Fundraiser, community organiser* Merchant – Import–export, trader, entrepreneur* Clerk – Researcher* Man of Law – Barrister, judge* Franklin – Wealthy landowner, landlord, businessman* Haberdasher – Fashion retailer, Etsy seller* Carpenter – Builder* Weaver – Textile manufacturer* Dyer – Industrial processor* Tapestry-maker – Textile artisan* Cook – Chef* Shipman – Merchant mariner, sailor* Physician – Doctor* Wife of Bath – Self-made businesswoman* Parson – Parish priest* Plowman – Smallholder farmer* Miller – Construction materials supplier* Manciple – Buyer, procurement officer* Reeve – Estate manager, COO* Summoner – Bailiff, compliance officer* Pardoner – Carbon credit broker* Canon – Serial start-up founder, “entrepreneur'* Canon's Yeoman – Startup engineerThe Real QuestionI think a fear frenzy is being whipped up - and I say this as someone who has lost his primary source of income (voiceovers) to AI.The work changes. The tools change. The leverage changes. The power centres change. The underlying human needs do not.There will still be farmers because people eat. There will still be merchants because people trade. There will still be storytellers because people crave stories. Most importantly of all, there will still be opportunities, if anything there will be more of them.AI will reduce headcount in some sectors. It will elevate productivity so dramatically that fewer people are required to produce more output. That is economic evolution.If you are worried about AI taking your job, ask yourself this: are you positioned inside an old power structure that is about to weaken? Or are you aligned with the next one forming?Join the gang.Until next time,DominicICYMI here is this week's commentaryFinally, Charlie Morris and I appeared on In The Company of Mavericks this week to discuss what's been going on with gold, silver and bitcoin.

Fluent Fiction - Danish: Rekindling Bonds: A Winter Tale of Fastelavn and Family Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2026-02-22-23-34-02-da Story Transcript:Da: Det var en kold vintermorgen i den danske landskab, da familien Nielsen ankom til deres hyggelige træhytte.En: It was a cold winter morning in the Danish countryside when the familien Nielsen arrived at their cozy log cabin.Da: Hytten lå midt i et fredeligt snedækket skovområde.En: The cabin was nestled in the middle of a peaceful snow-covered forest area.Da: Lars, en tænksom midaldrende far, trådte ud af bilen.En: Lars, a thoughtful middle-aged father, stepped out of the car.Da: Han kiggede på sine børn, Sofie og Mikkel, der begge var optagede af deres telefoner.En: He looked at his children, Sofie and Mikkel, who were both engrossed in their phones.Da: Med et suk drømte han om en ferie, hvor familien kunne forbinde sig uden distraktioner.En: With a sigh, he dreamed of a holiday where the family could connect without distractions.Da: "Kom nu, børn, lad os få noget sne i lommerne," sagde Lars med et smil, mens han trak deres kufferter ind i hytten.En: "Come on, kids, let's get some snow in our pockets," said Lars with a smile as he carried their suitcases into the cabin.Da: Indenfor tændte han op i pejsen.En: Inside, he lit a fire in the fireplace.Da: Den knitrende ild spredte en behagelig varme, der snart fyldte rummet.En: The crackling fire spread a pleasant warmth that soon filled the room.Da: Mens Lars pakkede ud, blev han overvældet af en idé.En: As Lars unpacked, he was overwhelmed by an idea.Da: Han ville arrangere en Fastelavn-fejring.En: He wanted to arrange a Fastelavn celebration.Da: "Vi fejrer Fastelavn i hytten!"En: "We're celebrating Fastelavn in the cabin!"Da: endte han med at proklamere.En: he ended up proclaiming.Da: Han forklarede, hvordan de i gamle dage slog katten af tønden og klædte sig ud i kostumer.En: He explained how, in old days, people would knock the cat out of the barrel and dress up in costumes.Da: Mikkel stirrede op fra sin tablet med en gnist af interesse.En: Mikkel looked up from his tablet with a spark of interest.Da: "Kattekostumer?"En: "Cat costumes?"Da: spurgte han med en fantasifuld stemme.En: he asked with an imaginative voice.Da: Sofie, som sad i sofaen med sine øretelefoner i ørerne, begyndte også at lytte.En: Sofie, who was sitting on the sofa with her earbuds in her ears, also began to listen.Da: "Far," sagde hun med et lille hånligt smil, "er det ikke bare noget for små børn?"En: "Dad," she said with a small mocking smile, "isn't that just for little kids?"Da: Lars lo og svarede: "Du skal se, hvor sjovt det kan være."En: Lars laughed and replied, "You should see how fun it can be."Da: Lars gik i gang med at planlægge.En: Lars got busy planning.Da: Næste dag hang han en træ-tønde op i hyttens have og fyldte den med slik.En: The next day he hung a wooden barrel in the cabin's yard and filled it with candy.Da: Han fandt gamle farverige stofstykker til kostumer og begyndte at fortælle om gamle Fastelavnstraditioner, mens han forberedte kakao i køkkenet.En: He found old colorful fabric pieces for costumes and began telling about old Fastelavn traditions while preparing cocoa in the kitchen.Da: "I gamle dage skulle man fange katten, men nu er det bare et sjovt symbol," forklarede han.En: "In the old days, you had to catch the cat, but now it's just a fun symbol," he explained.Da: Da dagen kom, blev Mikkel klædt ud som en lille kat.En: When the day came, Mikkel was dressed up as a little cat.Da: Sofie, der havde insisteret på at forblive sig selv, fandt sig selv grinende, når hun så på sin bror.En: Sofie, who had insisted on staying herself, found herself laughing when she looked at her brother.Da: Latter fyldte luften, da Mikkel ramte tønden med en træpind, og slik regnede ned i sneen.En: Laughter filled the air as Mikkel hit the barrel with a wooden stick, and candy rained down in the snow.Da: Sofie satte sig ved siden af Lars og lyttede til hans historier.En: Sofie sat next to Lars and listened to his stories.Da: "Jeg vidste ikke, det kunne være så hyggeligt at høre om traditioner," sagde hun overrasket.En: "I didn't know it could be so cozy to hear about traditions," she said, surprised.Da: Snart deltog hun også i legen.En: Soon, she was also participating in the game.Da: Om aftenen, da solen gik ned, og stjernerne dukkede op på himlen, sad familien tæt samlet omkring pejsen.En: In the evening, as the sun set and stars appeared in the sky, the family sat closely gathered around the fireplace.Da: Kakao og latter varmer deres hjerter mere end ildens glød.En: Cocoa and laughter warmed their hearts more than the glow of the fire.Da: Den nat, mens de sad i den skvulpende skæret fra flammerne, indså Lars, at han havde fundet gnisten igen.En: That night, while they sat in the flickering light of the flames, Lars realized that he had found the spark again.Da: Nyder nuet, de tre sad stille og lyttede til blæsten udenfor, mens en ny form for bånd blandt dem var blevet knyttet.En: Enjoying the moment, the three sat quietly, listening to the wind outside as a new kind of bond had formed among them.Da: Mikkel og Sofie, nu uden deres enheder, værdsatte den tid, de delte, og deres fars historier.En: Mikkel and Sofie, now without their devices, appreciated the time they shared and their father's stories.Da: Dermed sluttede denne Fastelavn med en nyvunden forståelse og glæde i familien Nielsen.En: Thus, this Fastelavn ended with a newfound understanding and joy in the familien Nielsen.Da: Traditionerne blev ikke bare ført videre, men de blev også en del af deres egen historie.En: The traditions were not just passed on but became a part of their own history.Da: En historie for voksne, unge og den lille kat med sjov og forbindelse.En: A story for adults, young ones, and the little cat filled with fun and connection.

The passage from Galatians 4:21–31 presents a profound theological argument rooted in the story of Abraham's two sons, Ishmael and Isaac, to illustrate the fundamental distinction between life under the law and life in grace. Paul uses this narrative allegorically to show that spiritual identity is not determined by physical descent or human effort, but by faith in God's promise—making believers children of the free woman, Sarah, and heirs of the covenant of grace, not of the covenant of works represented by Hagar and Mount Sinai. The contrast between the two covenants underscores that true freedom comes not through adherence to religious rituals or moral performance, but through faith in Christ alone, and those who seek to add works to salvation are spiritually aligned with Ishmael, the son of the flesh, and thus remain in bondage. The passage warns that such legalism inevitably leads to persecution of those who live by faith, and calls for decisive separation from false teachings, emphasizing that the church must uphold doctrinal purity and that all believers, regardless of background, are citizens of the heavenly Jerusalem, called to live in the confidence of God's finished work, not their own. This message is both a call to stand firm in gospel freedom and a solemn reminder that eternal inheritance belongs only to those born of the Spirit through faith in Christ.

1 Samuel 22:1-23

1. Criticism of Democratic Leaders on Law Enforcement Barack Obama, Gavin Newsom, and other Democratic figures are hostile toward law enforcement agencies, particularly ICE and National Guard deployments. Obama is quoted as describing some federal agents’ actions as “rogue,” which the speakers interpret as an attack on ICE. Gavin Newsom is criticized for comments comparing masked federal agents to authoritarian “secret police,” specifically referencing imagery associated with Germany’s past. Newsom’s claim that National Guard federalization was unprecedented. President Eisenhower’s 1957 use of federal authority to enforce desegregation in Little Rock, Arkansas. Newsom is “historically illiterate,” which later triggers a public Twitter exchange. 2. Newsom’s Response and the Dyslexia Angle Newsom accuses Ted Cruz of mocking his dyslexia. Cruz responds that “historically illiterate” referred to misunderstanding history, not reading ability. A social‑media back‑and‑forth unfolds, including jokes, memes, and comparisons of engagement statistics. Obama is: Highly partisan, Influential on younger progressive Democrats, Associated with cultural or “Marxist” ideological trends (as described by the speakers), Possibly influential behind the scenes during the Biden administration. Obama’s presidency contributed to increased political division. 3. Discussion of Tucker Carlson’s Recent Behavior Carlson has changed significantly since leaving Fox News. Anti‑Israel sentiment Hosting extremist guests Favoring authoritarians such as Putin or Iranian leadership Attacking Christian Zionists He may have ulterior financial or ideological motivations (while acknowledging no direct evidence). Carlson claimed Israeli airport officials detained him and questioned his team. Video footage showed him freely interacting with people at the airport, Israeli officials denied detaining him, A U.S. embassy statement also contradicted Carlson’s story. Carlson traveled to Israel to interview the ambassador but insisted on conducting the interview at the airport. Carlson claiming safety concerns while contrasting it with his willingness to travel in Russia or Qatar. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

This series of episodes about the Epstein case will draw parallels between the experiences of victims in every community and Epstein's victims. In this episode, we will share a general overview and some of our thoughts. Future episodes will include systemic responses, considering the role of parents, how victims are experiencing this process, the power of journalism and community outrage and, most importantly, how victims have bravely persisted for each other and with each other to be heard.

This book has many merits and if you like it will likely depend on your feelings on secret secrets(TM)

Femke, zijn avontuurlijke nicht, die van een kort bezoek aan de stad genoot.En: Beside him walked Femke, his adventurous cousin, who was enjoying a short visit to the city.Nl: Thijs had zich verheugd op een rustige dag.En: Thijs had been looking forward to a quiet day.Nl: Een dag waarin hij in stilte kon nadenken, de golven kon zien en de frisse lucht kon inademen.En: A day where he could think silently, watch the waves, and breathe in the fresh air.Nl: Femke was echter een en al energie.En: However, Femke was all energy.Nl: “Kom op, Thijs!En: “Come on, Thijs!Nl: Laten we schelpen zoeken!” riep ze, rennend naar de branding.En: Let's look for shells!” she called, running towards the surf.Nl: Thijs glimlachte en besloot mee te doen, om de pret niet te bederven.En: Thijs smiled and decided to join in, not wanting to spoil the fun.Nl: Terwijl ze langs de kustlijn liepen, voelde Thijs iets veranderen.En: As they walked along the coastline, Thijs felt something change.Nl: Zijn ademhaling

Dragon has an epic idea to hold a game event for Ahway Island! How will it come together? Narrator: Female Story Begins: 3:33 Dragon's Epic Idea Excerpt: Dragon nodded.  It sounded like a fun thing to watch and possibly to participate in. But these Olympic Games weren't being held on Ahway Island, and they probably were for humans only, so there would be no way for the creatures on Ahway Island to watch or participate. Unless…. Dragon had a thought. It was more than a thought, really. It was an idea… an epic idea, in fact. They could have their own games competition on Ahway Island, and creatures from all over the island could compete in events that reflect the skills they have practiced for a very long time. Anyone who did not want to compete could be a spectator and enjoy watching the action. Today's Meditation: Relax your whole body from head to toe in this meditation.
