You really want… something… different in your miserable life.[Brief music]Suddenly he snaps manacles on your wrists. Then behind you he grabs a blowtorch…[music]IntroThis is AutisticAF Out Loud, Season 7, episode 1. Today, I find moments of joy… after some brutal ones.Like Leonard Cohen sang in Suzanne, “among the garbage and the flowers.”I'm Johnny Profane. Startled awake. Taking a new direction. And writing a neurodivergent autobiography… out loud.Content note: Mentions abuse, trauma, suicidality... and dark humor.Just one autistic elder's voice. Raw.3 fragments from my free archive, autisticaf.me… I'll tell you more at the break.[music]Welcome to the Treatment FunhouseBeing trapped in the medical model of autism for decades?Imagine an elaborate carnival funhouse… the kind that's a maze. You gotta find your way out. But…This one's got a horror theme.The sign outside… “23 Mirrored Rooms That Will Change Your Life… Forever!”Never saw that before.So you stand in the long wait line. That, naturally, doubles back on itself. Many times.Finally, you belly up to the barker's ticket window. Start to scan the price board.“125 bucks?” You cry out.“You wanna change yer life, kid? Whatchya think it would cost?”So you sigh. You think…You need… different. You fork over.First room. Guy in a jumpsuit, “We gotta strap ya in.” He waves at the chair. “Safety,” he says in a bored voice.So you sit. You really want… well, something… different in your miserable life.Suddenly, he snaps manacles on your wrists. Then behind you, he grabs a blowtorch.You see this scene reflected in all the mirrors. In detail. Enhanced by all your grisly memories.You protest. “What the actual fuck.”“Trust me. This is the latest research. Sure as hell gonna change your life.” That smile. Thin. Cold. Professional. “We got paying customers outside. Lined up. Waiting to get inside. You in… or out.”You reflect on your miserable life. You nod.Then he slowly, methodically works you over. A light burn here. Another there. Starting at your feet. Working upwards.You scream. You cry. You plead. You evade. You bargain. Not a word out of Jumpsuit Guy.And… the only way you can block out the terror reflected in those mirrors?Close your eyes…He finishes. He unshackles you. Helps you up as you tremble. Guides you efficiently to the door.“Next room. Room of Knives. Yer gonna love it,” he laughs.“Just 22 to go.” Leans in… conspiratorially. Whispers in my ear…“Wait til the Meds room. Everybody talks about the Meds Room.”Beat.“If you make it there.”musicInterludeOkay, then. A fun little… metaphor. Now… some dark reality. Family… and professionals… tossed off what I was going through in my late teens as “immaturity.” Something I'd age out of. Totally ignoring all the red danger flags of the coming disaster.Quick side note. Some folks wrote you couldn't read articles. Multiple platform problems… demands you subscribe… pestering friends, even if they used a“free” link.I heard ya . So, I built my free personal archive at autisticaf.me. No paywall. No ads to piss ya off. All free & shareable… on me.You'll find more pieces like this next one… there. — The Autistic Treatment Funhouse, Room of ExamsThey Called It Immaturity. They Missed Everything.Content note: This is the tough one I mentioned. With the brutal flowers.Look, first of all… This is not the beginning of a poor-me story.This is a story of how I found moments of joy… and darkness… in my autistic life. Like Leonard Cohen sang in Suzanne, “among the garbage and the flowers.”But I found dark humor... every where.1972 was a hell of a summer… Room 1I first sought a diagnosis at 19. Following suicide attempt #1.I was driving after dark. Which I wasn't supposed to do… new family rule.See, I'd damaged our car the week before, making a hasty turn into our driveway near Jumping Deer Road in Katonah. Hit the damn stone wall on the way in.This was Westchester County, NY. Local code only allowed a nano break between the 18th-Century stones guarding our yard. Colonial heritage or something… masking slave labor.I'm in the doghouse. With parents already skeptical about letting me go to college. Not “mature” enough.Yet, when the hood and fender are finally fixed? They drop me off on a muggy, hazy June night. Out in the boonies at the old Amawak Service Center on Route 202.“Pick it up and bring it home. No side stops.” Then they instruct me, “Be… careful.” Rolling their collective 4 eyes.I pull out, then wait. The light's gotta change at the 4-lane intersection with Route 35 before I can head home.The light turns green. I go into a weird space in my head. There's… there's some reason I shouldn't turn left… yet… But I watch myself shrug, flick my signal switch, and turn. Right into two lanes of accelerating traffic coming right at me.Don't remember much more. Just the red, don't-turn-yet-idiot arrow. Staring at me brightly… through the windshield that used to be there.I survived. That classic, white 1965 Mustang… didn't. Barely street legal, 271-horse V8 under the hood. Maybe the most collectible American car of all time.A hand-me-down gift to our family from my father's father. Who bragged, “I had to jew the dealer down from 5 grand,” back when he bought it new in '65. A lot of money then.Um, things got tense at home.“You are responsible for your own actions. You are the cause here.”Parental meeting time.“Uh, I don't know what happened.” I couldn't stand these “meetings.” So many in my childhood. This was maybe the worst of all.“I don't know. It… it... just happened.”Making my parents even more furious. These were avid Ayn Rand readers. And my grandfather? He slept beside an orderly nightstand. Mein Kampf tucked tightly in its tidy drawer. My dead father's voice echoes coldly in my mind still. “You are responsible for your own actions. You are the cause here.” But, I stumble on. Making things worse… in my way.“Something's wrong. I don't know what. I'm having horrible visions. Hitting people with the car as I drive by. Hitting their bodies… bones…” I trail off. Into stony silence, I say, “And now something weird happened. I think… I think… maybe I should see a doctor…”Next thing I know, I'm sitting in front of a Westchester County caseworker. Cuz my parents felt a psychologist or private therapist cost too much.I had no idea what I was feeling… much less why.The intake experience was horrific.I felt… badgered.She called it… delicately. “Maybe the accident looked like an attempt to… maybe… harm yourself?” But she continued with a sledgehammer.“I know you have a secret you want to tell me.” Rinse, repeat… Rinse, repeat…I wanted so badly to please her. But had no idea what I was feeling… much less why.Worse yet? There were things I didn't want to tell her. Darker than the physical or sexual abuse she was probably check-listing. Things a traumatized kid might do… himself.I never went back. I told my parents I was uncomfortable talking to her.My dad rocked back in his dark, maple, Early American dining room chair. “Fine. That's your choice.”He paused. Looking directly at my mother as he said to me, “I can see you won't speak to this counselor. I see no reason to look for another for you to talk to. Your decision.”And that was that.We were all dying for freedom.Finally at 63, a psychologist specializing in autism gave me another name, Alexithymia.He said a lot of autistics can know something is wrong. But not know what. And baptized me, Autism Spectrum Disorder… with a side of ADHD.2016 was a good year. A damn fine year.But 1972 was a summer from hell.The last US troops shipped home, fleeing Viet Nam. Palestinians massacred Israelis at the Olympics. My father died that August. The week after he molested me for the last time.We were all dying for freedom.[music]Cuz… if you don't know us… how ya gonna love us.InterludeOkay. Here's the last frag I toss… today. Let's end with joyful moments. Among the dark. Let's end with survival.See, I'm giving you these fragments of my life…Cuz… if you don't know us… how ya gonna love us.And this is part of me, too…[music]I Don't Think I Had a “Personality” as a KidI was busy finding Infinity in a burnt-off ant leg…This one brings home the stakes.The moments of joy along the way… that drew a line under what could have been. Not if they fixed me. But maybe what all of our children could be.If we just listen to them. And support what they say they need.“What are you doing…?”My mother's voice was sharp.I'm lying spreadeagled on the backyard grass, face down.“I've called you three times.” Annoyed. “WHAT are you doing…?”I don't know it in Second Grade… But I have difficulties shifting attention when I'm lost in thought…I try to focus my ears…Then think back,review my short-term memory,and replay the last few moments.Trying to hear and translate anything she might have said while I'm in my private thought bubble…Already at 7, this process of “rehearsing” or “rewinding the tape” to interpret what's going on? It's an automatic, constant routine when I'm around… well, people.Checking for verbal mistakes, missed cues… Just trying to understand, what's going on…?So I'm still trying to sort it out,choose words carefully to explain,clearing my throat,moving my sleeping tongue,loosening my jaw,getting ready to speak…“HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!”“Umm… Nothing…?” Close as I come to a lie at that age.I've been lying in the grass for an hour or so, exploring with my new magnifying glass.See, there was this great hobby shop in Johnson City. It had all kinds of cool science “toys.” And I had saved my 50-cent allowance for weeks to buy a “Real, hand-held, magnifying glass — made with ALL-METAL handle!!”I was entranced.Examining grass leaves, dew drops, and…Ants.Dozens of ants. One after another.Legs.Antennae.Mandibles.Eyes.Guiltily burning off the occasional leg with focused sunlight…Endless fascination…I was in the flow…“Okay. Whatever you are doing…” I wait for the command I know will end my timeless bliss… “Stop doing it. It's time for lunch.”I sigh. Roll over.And. Trudge. In.Hardly sounds like abuse, right…..??Imagine that last, delicious dream you're enjoying as you drowse in a warm snuggly bed… when you don't have to get up…My autistic joys are hard to explain to another person.Pretty much ANY non-autistic person.And trying to… drags me into Deep Philosophical Waters…Imagine that last, delicious dream you're enjoying as you drowse in a warm snuggly bed on a lazy Saturday morning when you don't have to get up…And someone screams, “GET UP!”Eyes pop open. Instantly. You're so startled, for a minute… you have no idea where you are, what you're doing, the time of day, the season…Now… imagine that… if you can…Every. Damn. Day. Many, many, MANY times a day… Every single day of your childhood.Torture.Being startled out of the flow? It's like that.Capisce? Ya dig? Feel me?That's as close as I can think of to explain my moments of autistic flow.Or, better yet, my autistic joys.That same joy you seeon an autistic kid's faceas he dances endlesslyin a sprinkler in the sun…If I had to guess, this is precisely what Being in the Moment, in the Now, maybe even Zen Satori…Mean.Gradually as I aged, these blissful moments became fewer and fewer…Now, that's all preamble to what I really wanna talk about…Here's the deal on Flow…I think that's where I spent most of my time as a young kid.When I wasn't interacting with family, a few schoolmates, parents, one teacher a year… the few humans I let into my life back then.And that time alone… Endlessly exploring, learning, feeling, being… was…Wordless delight.Gradually as I aged, these blissful moments became fewer and fewer… further and further and further apart… nearly gone…First, I was forced into a school system… That I was clearly not wired for.Rigid.Lockstep.Regimented.Regulated.BORING.No Free Time.To simply… explore.Later, of course, it got MUCH worse. Jobs, relationships, finances… Life in Modern Adult America.Like when I founded Unix World magazine. I was so high on the concept and the joy of process… My inner vision won us awards our first year. Western Publishing Association Best New Publication and Best Issue. Beating out Macworld and PC World.Yeah. We won awards. A couple months after I was fired from my own mag. Fired because… in my autistic mind… the game was Create the Most Amazing Publication… Ever.But the whole time, the world was shouting that it was Make the Most Money You Can… Right Now.Snake eyes. I lost.My natural state, left alone to my own devices? Wandering from moment to moment of… fascination.Now, I have some personal speculation to get off my chest.First… I don't think I had a native personality when I was a kid…At least not as bell-curve average humans understand a personality.My natural state, left alone to my own devices? Wandering from moment to moment of fascination. No motivations. No intentions. No (verbal) thought…So… I was either happy exploring in the fields… or with my chemistry set in the basement… or catching polliwogs in Spring pools…Or I was forced to don my “personality.”In other words,the language,facial expressions,body language,polite responses,social lies,and predictable actionsthat humans think of as “personality”…and that social contact demands.Which is so natural for most humans, they aren't even aware of it.Even though they must have it from me… to feel safe.But, for me, “personality” was likebeing dragged out of my comfy pajamas,forced intothe worst, most cumbersome, restrictive, awkward, embarrassing winter coat,ear muffs,muffler,heavy snow boots,and mittensyour mother ever stuffed you intoto shove you onto that bus to kindergarten…And “personality” still is suffocating. Today. In my 70s. Ten years after diagnosed as autistic and ADHD.Especially, “fun times”… They're the real killers.Parties.Intimate conversations…Shudder... Family holidays? So nightmarish, I wrote the 7-page narrative poem sneaking my mother's creepy g-d on high.These are all times I must adopt my “personality.” You know, to survive. No matter how much “fun” they're supposed to be.What pros call “masking”? Really nothing more than exhausting habits of behavior & speech. That I must shroud myself in. Like an embalmed mummy. Just so it's easy for other humans… to feel “comfortable” around me.Not an essential Self. Just, ya know, “personality.”Certainly not me. Nothing comfortable about it.I'm going to hazard a guess.Which may be narcissistic delusion… Flow seems awfully close to what the Buddha described as experiencing “no-self” vs. the “conditioned mind.”From at least age 2 on, I clearly remember lucid dreaming and long periods of time spent without verbal thought of any kind. Just perceiving, in awe and wonder…EVERYTHING.Until I had to interact with humans. Any humans. Even those I was required… to “love.”And donning the “personality”? The joy collapsed. Fast as a quantum waveform when you try to measure it. Not into pain…Collapsing into an all-absorbing effort.Intellectualizing every word,gesture,tone of voice of my own…Then interpreting all those of each and every human I was with at the time…and THEN determining precisely the right word,tone of voice,facial expression,and body attitude to project back…all at the same timeTo avoid being in trouble.Because I was… Bad.And I had to protect everyone around me from that.Every. Single. Second…And even at a young age, a growing sense of the need to protect others…From me.Because I was different. Because I hurt people without understanding. Because I acted as if I were “arrogant”… etc., etc.Like two divorces. Cuz I could be amazing for 3 to 6 months. Caring. Fun as hell. Then fall into deep depressions and work burnouts. Cuz I couldn't handle that much intimacy. Hell, that much time alone with another human…Because I was… Bad.And I had to protect everyone around me from that.Every. Single. Second… That I am with another human.Except very young children. And of course, animals… Since I was… 4 years old.Now since diagnosis, I found a few tricks.In 2019 when I first started writing about my autism, I was all about lists. Trying to “help” others. Took me a year or two to realize we are… every one of us autists… different. Different lives. Different needs and goals. Different survival skills.So I'm only an “expert” on my own life. Even if I am the only expert on that there is.Your mileage certainly will vary.But for me? My autistic life is not about “getting better.” Or fixing me. It's about knowing who I truly am. And what I truly need. Doing what I can to meet those needs.Then being… me.So I moved to the Country…Living in the trailer across the courtyardFrom my third, loving wifeWhere I can reduce sensory overload.Reduce the number of humans I talk with To only folks I feel comfortable around.And stopped failing at jobs I was never built to do.But I… now… can pursue those things that have brought me joy since childhood.Spending unstructured, unmeasured time on any of my passions…walking in the wildest Nature I have access to,baking bread,fermenting pickles,gardening,deep-focus while replaying a favorite movie… that seventh time,illustrating,writing,playing music,researching world events….so, so many others.When I pursue a “special interest”… alone? Sometimes it's nearly orgasmic… In fact, I've redefined my understanding of my passions.They're not a forbidden pleasure. A shameful quirk. Something I “waste time on” when there's nothing more important to do.They are my gateway to Bliss, Satori, Oneness… Maybe even whatever God is… or Isn't…I'm not talking toxic positivity. My autistic joys aren't some advanced spiritual state I've achieved in my 70s. And now, suddenly… I'm here to tell you how to make everything okay. And talk you into buying your 5th NEW self-help system on the way out the door.But my joys are moments of love and happiness sprinkled through most of my days. Between meltdowns and burnouts. And some average life.They are my reason for Being.There are just NOT 7 Easy Things that Successful Autistics Do…That Will Change My Life Forever.There's just living complex… and in the end… wild autistic life.being old & autistic ain't so bad.losing inhibitions.some of which protected me from…Life.freedom turns out to be pain…and joy…in superposition.until maybe they annihilate you.Notes from the bardobefore the bardoI learned a lot that Spring afternoon on the lawn in Johnson City.I saw Infinity in a burnt-off ant leg.And, eventually… I went for it.[music]OutroNow you know.

Dan has one really big story this week! We're going to head to Austria's Moosham Castle, a place with an exceptionally dark legacy, even for a castle. The darkest part of this legacy was forged during one of Europe's most horrifying witch hunts, when 139 innocent people, many of them orphaned and sometimes also disabled children, were tortured and executed in the shadow of a legend known as Wizard Jackl. We start with the history , then we'll look into paranormal claims including a modern encounter. Lynze brings four short stories this week, a nice counterbalance! A story about a college dorm, a possible forest cryptid, a ghost couple and a truly terrible place to run into a shadow person. LAST EVER Wet Hot Bad Magic Summer Camp 2026: Have you heard?!

This episode is sponosored by Hulu. Stream PRISON BREAK on Hulu in the U.S. and Disney+ Internationally. Sarah and Paul discuss Sara's PTSD depiction and the added flashbacks of Gretchen torturing Sara, noting how killing a woman in front of Sara motivates her confrontation with Gretchen. They critique the season's heavy use of torture as a narrative tool that often goes unquestioned, contrasting it with the show's earlier nuance about the justice system. They highlight the emotional ending with Michael holding Roland's hand as he dies as unusually human for the series, discuss Sara returning to doctor mode (including fake surgery props), and analyze Michael's relationship “redirect” from a brain tumor discussion to revealing Gretchen is alive. Fan questions cover playing PTSD (dissociation, fear, professional remove), limited improvisation in intense scenes, and whether Sara's story was sidelined to serve Michael, with Callies noting TV norms of the era while arguing Sara still had a substantial arc.

Happy Mindful Monday! Buying a house is consistently ranked as one of life's most stressful milestones—but it's also one of the most exhilarating. We obsess over credit scores, down payments, and interest rates, but rarely do we talk about the massive emotional infrastructure required to survive the market. The truth? The home-buying journey is a profound masterclass in emotional intelligence, boundary-setting, and resilience. In this episode, Allie is pulling back the curtain on the psychological side of house hunting. Whether you are scrolling through Zillow for the first time or waiting in agony to hear if your third offer was accepted, this conversation is your anchor. We dive into the duality of extreme excitement and intense anxiety, how to navigate the agonizing "waiting periods" without losing your peace, and the exact mindset shift needed to turn rejection into protection. Grab your headphones—it's time to talk about finding your footing before you find your forever home. In this epsiode Allie Shares; 1. The Duality of High Stakes: Holding Excitement and Anxiety Simultaneously The Psychological Reality: How your brain processes a major life transition. It's normal to feel deeply grateful and terrified at the exact same time. 2. The Torture of the In-Between: Learning True Patience The Psychological Reality: The home-buying process is full of dead time—waiting for appraisal reports, underwriting approval, or an answer on an offer. This triggers our evolutionary fear of the unknown. 3. Rejection vs. Realignment: Building Rejection Resilience The Psychological Reality: Losing out on a house you already mentally moved your furniture into feels like a genuine heartbreak. It easily triggers old narratives of "not good enough" or "I can't have what I want." 4.

Rökker Smith has been a part of the Madison, Wisconsin music scene for nearly four decades. In 1996 he founded Maximum Ink Music Magazine, a statewide monthly publication that ran for 27 years. In 2011 he brought that same mission to the airwaves with Max Ink Radio, now broadcasting statewide every Saturday and Sunday night on the Civic Media Network. He's also the drummer for Madison rock band Iron Plow and the longtime programmer and stage director for Atwood Fest.In this in-depth interview, recorded at the Civic Media studio in Madison — home of Max Ink Radio's live weekend broadcasts — Andy McNamara of Code Zero Radio sits down with Rökker to talk about the 27-year run of Maximum Ink, the leap into radio, playing Bratfest and Summerfest with Iron Plow, his WAMI Wall of Honor induction, and the sudden cardiac arrest he survived on stage mid-set with his band last December. Rökker opens up about the "chain of survival," CPR and AED awareness, the PulsePoint app, and his comeback show less than a year later.We also dig into Atwood Fest 2026 (Saturday, July 25 & Sunday, July 26 in Madison), including how Rökker books three stages of local, regional, and national touring artists, his "wedding strategy" for lineup building, "Rocker's Torture" scheduling conflicts, and what first-time festivalgoers need to know before they go.Learn more about Atwood Fest:https://atwoodfest.comLearn more about Max Ink Radio & Maximum Ink Music Magazine: https://civicmedia.us/shows/max-ink-radioFollow Iron Plow for new music and show updateshttps://ironplow.rocksThis interview is part of Fox Cities Core on WCZR Code Zero Radio, covering the regional and statewide live music scene through artist interviews, venue spotlights, and show previews.

In this episode of Occupied Thoughts, FMEP Fellow Ahmed Moor speaks with Naji Abbas, Director of the Prisoners and Detainees Department at Physicians for Human Rights Israel, about the Israeli army's policies and practices of kidnapping and disappearing Palestinians into detention, where torture is rampant. Among the 5000 Palestinians detained without charge are 14 senior Palestinian doctors from Gaza, including Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza, whose condition has deteriorated. Following his most recent visit to Dr. Abu Safiya, attorney Nasser Odeh reported "tangible and immediate danger" to Dr. Abu Safiya's life due to a "dramatic escalation in the assaults and torture" inflicted by Israeli prison guards against Dr. Abu Safiya. Ahmed and Naji place the detention of Gaza's doctors within the logic of genocide, as it is part of the dismantling of the healthcare services people need to live.

A Ministry of Health investigation into alleged torture and potential human rights abuses at a Dunedin forensic facility for people with intellectual disabilities could take months. Last week the Ombudsman revealed his inspectors had seen some of the worst practices they'd ever observed on Ward 10a at Wakari Hospital. Director of Mental Health for the Ministry of Health, Doctor John Crawshaw spoke to Lisa Owen.
Is mass incarceration the result of an accidental, top-down policy oversight, or is it driven by targeted, bottom-up racial warfare on the ground? In this episode, we sit down with scholar and author Andrew Baer to discuss his critical historical text, Beyond the Usual Beating: The Jon Burge Police Torture Scandal and Social Movements for Police Accountability in Chicago. We dismantle the safe academic myths of "colorblindness" to expose how street-level white foot soldiers in Chicago actively deployed explicit anti-Black racial terror completely independent of Washington policy directives. We interrogate the literal, physical machinery used in Area 2 and Area 3 precincts—including cattle prods and hand-cranked field telephone boxes—to systematically extract false confessions from over 118 Black males. We also examine the deep-seated institutional protection and complicity of high-level local judicial and political figures, including Cook County State's Attorney Richard M. Daley, who willfully hid evidence of torture to maintain a mass conviction pipeline. Finally, we anchor the brutal, state-sanctioned genital and testicular mutilation of Black males directly to Dr. Frances Cress Welsing's theory of "White Genetic Annihilation" and population control.

Today he’s known mainly as a figure from medals carried to insure safe travels, but that image of a giant carrying the Christ Child across a dangerous river represents only the final stage in the long and strange evolution of the saint’s legend. Earlier or forgotten aspects of his story describe Christopher as a ferocious soldier, the Devil’s servant, a cannibal, and even a dog-headed monster. Our episode begins with the best known version of the tale recorded in The Golden Legend, the classic collection of hagiographies written in 1260 by Jacobus de Voragine, a Dominican friar in Genoa. Here Christopher begins as Reprobus, a fearsome giant determined to serve the most powerful master in the world. He first serves a king but abandons him after discovering that the king fears the Devil. Reprobus then serves the Devil, only to discover that the Devil fears Christ. Seeking Christ, Reprobus encounters a hermit who suggests that the giant use his great strength to carry travelers across a dangerous river. One night, a mysterious child asks to be carried across. As Reprobus struggles through the rising water, the child becomes impossibly heavy. Upon reaching the opposite bank, the child reveals himself as Christ and explains that Reprobus has carried both the Creator of the world and the weight of the world itself. Reprobus thus becomes Christopher, the “Christ-bearer.” St. Christopher Joachim Patinir, ca1522 After this, comes the lesser known portion of his tale, in which Christopher runs up against Roman authorities thanks to his Christian faith. As a sign that God will be with him throughout this, his staff planted in the earth breaks for in blooms, and he’s preserved through numerous tortures and attempts to execute him after his refusal to worship the pagan gods. Tortures fail to harm him, arrows miraculously stop in midair, and Christopher eventually converts the king responsible for his execution. But earlier versions of the legend are considerably stranger. Around 986, the German poet and bishop Walter von Speyer composed two Latin hagiographies, one in prose and the other in verse. Each tells the same story, describing Reprobus as a dog-headed cannibal who could only bark before his conversion. The struggle through the river in de Voragine 13th-century tale is prefigured as a spiritual transformation in the waters of baptism. An even older narrative is found in the apocryphal Acts of Andrew and Bartholomew. Pieced together from parchments dated to the fifth and seventh centuries, merging stories, which originated in Coptic communities of Syria and Egypt. We hear extensive passages from this particularly fantastical tale read by Mrs. Karswell. In this which the apostles encounter a terrifying dog-headed cannibal named “Bewitched.” He’s been sent to them by an angel, who first removes his appetite for human flesh and grants him the ability to speak. Renamed “Christian,” (though still referred to in the text as “Dog’s Head”) the creature accompanies the apostles on their missionary adventures to the city of Barbaros in Parthia. When they are sentenced to death by lions and tigers , Dog’s Head is divinely granted a temporary return to his original ferocity, and slaughtering and devouring the beasts. Walls of fire, flying idols, miraculous floods, and more grisly tortures and martrydoms, round out the narrative. St. Christopher in 18th-century Russian lubok print A slightly later Greek text, The Martyrdom of Christophoros, brings the legend closer to its later form. Reprobus remains a dog-headed member of a cannibalistic race but is now a soldier and Christian. After receiving the miraculous ability to speak, he converts fellow soldiers, survives numerous tortures, and is eventually martyred by beheading. Several elements later incorporated into the Golden Legend—including his flowering staff, conversion of prostitutes, and miraculous survival of torture—already appear here. A number of images of St. Christopher as a dog-headed man (Greek: cynocephalus) can still be seen in Orthodox churches and monasteries in Greece and Russia. While Peter the Great sought to suppress this portrayal of the saint in 18th-century Russia, his efforts were not entirely successful, and cynocephalus icons are produced by the sect known as the Old Believers to this day. Christopher's monstrous appearance was intended to highlight both a pre-conversion savagery and extreme foreignness. Ancient and medieval writers from Herodotus to Marco Polo repeatedly placed imaginary races of dog-headed humans in distant, unexplored lands. Armenian illustrations of Pentecost similarly included cynocephali to symbolize the remotest peoples reached by Christianity. We end the episode with a nod to St. Christopher’a identity as the patron saint of surfers, and a bit of music from that unlikely nexus of Catholicism and surfdom. It’s a snippet from the 1999 album by the Malibooz, Living Water:The Surfer’s Mass. “Horse-head” St. Christopher from Assumption Cathedral, Sviyazhsk, Russia.

An inspection into a Dunedin forensic facility for people with intellectual disabilities has found 'some of the worst practices observed' according to the Chief Ombudsman. The office carried out an inspection of ward 10A at Wakari Hospital under the crimes of torture act. It found compelling evidence of punitive and coercive treatment at the world, with some people subjected to prolonged restraint or long term seclusion. Chief Ombudsman John Allen spoke to Lisa Owen.

In this episode of Pushing Up Lilies, I'm examining the disturbing case of Shawn Michael Grate, a serial killer whose crimes spanned a decade across northern Ohio and left multiple families forever changed. What makes this case especially unsettling is not only the length of time the murders continued, but how many opportunities there may have been to stop the violence sooner. As investigators pieced together the evidence, a clearer picture emerged of a predator who targeted vulnerable women, leaving behind unanswered questions and unimaginable heartbreak. As a forensic death investigator, I walk through the timeline of the investigation, the evidence that ultimately connected the cases, and the forensic and investigative techniques that helped bring long-awaited answers to the victims' families. We'll also discuss how missing persons investigations, crime scene evidence, and victim identification play critical roles in solving complex serial homicide cases. But as with every case I cover, I want to keep the focus where it belongs. On the victims. Each woman had a life, a story, and people who loved her. Behind every headline was someone whose future was stolen far too soon. Their lives deserve to be remembered with dignity, not simply as part of a criminal's history. This episode explores the realities of serial homicide investigations while honoring the individuals whose stories might otherwise be overshadowed by the person responsible. This episode contains discussion of homicide, sexual violence, and serial murder. Listener discretion is advised.

We note that the relationship between Israeli and western security forces is a circular one. The brutal beating of flotilla activists in Bilbao highlights the deep interconnections between the state institutions of western powers and those of their zionist proxy, which has become the ‘global specialist' in terroristic policing methods. Basque police beating Israeli torture survivors is institutional.

And what if the person everyone loves to hate is actually the one we should all be studying? Eric Jorgenson spent five years studying Elon Musk and distilled everything into his new book, The Book of Elon. He's the bestselling author of The Almanack of Naval Ravikant and has built a career decoding how the world's most effective people think, operate, and win. In this episode, we break down the exact frameworks Elon uses to build companies that rewrite entire industries, why he takes insane risks that would bankrupt most people, and how his relentless focus on speed, truth, and deletion makes him the most leveraged human alive. In this episode, you'll learn: Why Elon split his last $30 million between SpaceX and Tesla when everyone told him to pick one, and how that decision proved he's mission driven, not money driven The five step algorithm: question requirements, delete, simplify, accelerate, automate, and why doing them out of order wastes millions The idiot index: how to identify parts or processes where you're paying 100x more than the raw materials cost and why aerospace was a thousand to one before SpaceX Why Elon fires fast, moves into factories during production hell, and demands hourly updates on bottlenecks, and how that hardcore culture filters for missionaries Why demos beat PowerPoints every time and how showing physical progress collapses communication gaps and accelerates decisions ___________ (00:00:00) Introduction: The Risk-Seeking Mission-Driven Mindset of Elon Musk (00:01:42) The 2008 Story: When Elon Split His Last 30 Million Between Two Dying Companies (00:05:40) Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway: How Elon Pushes Through Obstacles (00:06:57) Why Elon Is Polarizing: Politics, Billionaires, and the Nerd Who Became Controversial (00:08:33) The Bottleneck Formula: Working on the Right Thing at the Right Time Right Now (00:09:31) Production Hell and Sauron Focus: The Model 3 Story (00:19:11) Hardcore Purpose: The Rage Demon, Torture, and Being Wired for War (00:31:25) The Path to Billionaire Icon: Focus Intensely on What Nobody Else Can Do (00:33:31) Never Burn Bridges: The PayPal Mafia and Founders Fund Investment (00:36:51) The Idiot Index: Why Your Parts Cost 100 Times More Than They Should (00:42:37) Speed Is the Ultimate Advantage: Rejecting the Fast-Cheap-Good Trilema (00:47:57) Empathy at the Mission Level, Not the Individual: The Firing Philosophy (00:53:29) Show Don't Tell: Demos Over Decks and the Power of Physical Progress (01:01:06) The Algorithm: Question, Delete, Simplify, Accelerate, Automate (01:06:44) The One Sentence Onboarding: Be So Good They Talk About You at Dinner (01:11:21) Is Elon Happy?

Samuel Ben-Ur explains that the IDF controls 64% of Gaza, but Hamas remains in control of the remaining civilian population through torture and executions. The group refuses to disarm, as their existence is predicated on destroying Israel. Despite the elimination of top leaders, the organization's decentralized structure allows survival. (14)1910 GAZA

A routine home invasion turns into a full-blown nightmare when Kurt Russell's family crosses paths with the most clingy cop in movie history. After a robbery leaves him feeling vulnerable, Michael Carr welcomes help from Officer Pete Davis, a charismatic police officer who seems determined to protect his family. Unfortunately, Pete's definition of "helping" includes showing up uninvited, sabotaging marriages, planting evidence, committing murder, and generally behaving like a restraining order come to life.Brad breaks down Unlawful Entry (1992), a tense psychological thriller featuring Kurt Russell, Madeline Stowe, and an absolutely unhinged Ray Liotta performance. Along the way, he wonders whether friendship should ever involve alley beatings, compares Pete Davis to a customer-service wolf, imagines conversations no sane person would ever have, and explains why this movie remains so effective decades later.It's creepy, frustrating, surprisingly realistic, and proof that sometimes the scariest villain isn't the burglar who breaks into your house—it's the cop who won't leave afterward.

Israeli military forces captured the latest convoy of humanitarian aid ships sailing to Gaza with the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSM) between late April and mid-May. Activists who were imprisoned by Israel for days and eventually deported have reported harrowing treatment by their captors, including targeted torture, abuse, broken bones, unauthorized injections of undisclosed substances, and sexual violence by Israeli soldiers. We speak with a panel of freed GSM participants—Thiago Ávila, Catríona Graham, and Ariadne Telles—about what they saw and endured, and about the successes, defeats, and future of the movement to break Israel's siege on Gaza.Studio Production / Post Production: David HebdenBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-news-podcast--2952221/support.Help us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!
In this absolutely unhinged episode of Movie Torture, Brad Lowe breaks down the horror-thriller Obsession—a movie that starts as awkward crush energy and somehow spirals into cursed romance, dead cat sandwiches, demon-girlfriend behavior, and supernatural emotional damage. Brad hilariously walks through the story of Bear Bailey, a painfully awkward guy who uses a creepy magical item called the “One Wish Willow” to make his crush Nikki fall in love with him… which immediately turns into the worst relationship in cinematic history. What follows is escalating chaos involving haunted Build-A-Bear vibes, pee puddles, self-stabbing party games, customer service for cursed objects, and one of the most disturbing lunch scenes ever put on screen. Throughout the episode, Brad delivers nonstop commentary and savage one-liners, comparing Bear to “the human version of typing and deleting a text for 45 minutes” while repeatedly questioning why horror movie characters keep buying obviously evil magical items. The recap somehow balances gross-out horror, emotional loneliness, absurd comedy, and relationship satire all at once. By the end, the episode becomes less about a horror movie and more about obsession, loneliness, and what happens when someone tries to force love instead of letting it happen naturally. Brad closes things out by warning listeners to avoid cursed romance driftwood, haunted relationships, and—most importantly—dead cat sandwiches.
