Today's Headlines: President Trump called for a ceasefire between Iran and Israel Monday night—then accused both sides of not knowing “what the fuck they're doing” after the ceasefire didn't immediately happen. By Tuesday, a fragile truce emerged, though both sides warned they'd resume attacks if provoked. Trump also abruptly tweeted that China could keep buying Iranian oil—despite his prior threats—after they helped keep the Strait of Hormuz open. Meanwhile, a leaked classified report revealed that U.S. airstrikes only set back Iran's nuclear program by a few months, not the “total obliteration” Trump implied. The White House dismissed the report as inaccurate and “demeaning.” In Florida, construction has started on a bizarre new 1,000-bed immigration detention center—dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz”—deep in the Everglades, where escapees would allegedly face only pythons and gators. Toy prices are spiking due to tariffs on Chinese goods, rising faster than inflation. At the same time, nearly 2 million student loan borrowers may soon see wage garnishment as Trump-era loan collections ramp back up. House Democrats elected Rep. Robert Garcia as their new ranking member on the Oversight Committee, while the late Rep. Gerry Connolly's official account mysteriously posted an endorsement from beyond the grave. Resources/Articles mentioned in this episode: CNN: Live updates: Iran-Israel conflict: Trump rebukes both sides hours after ceasefire CNBC: Oil tumbles for a second day, loses 6% as Iran-Israel ceasefire eases supply concerns NY Times: Strike Set Back Iran's Nuclear Program by Only a Few Months, U.S. Report Says WaPo: Florida builds ‘Alligator Alcatraz' for migrant detainees in Everglades WaPo: Toys are getting pricier as tariffs kick in WSJ: Nearly Two Million Student-Loan Borrowers Are at Risk of Docked Pay This Summer Axios: Rep.

Formosa: Fulcrum of the Future?An invasion of Taiwan is uncomfortably likely and potentially catastrophic. We should research better ways to avoid it. TLDR: I forecast that an invasion of Taiwan increases all the anthropogenic risks by ~1.5% (percentage points) of a catastrophe killing 10% or more of the population by 2100 (nuclear risk by 0.9%, AI + Biorisk by 0.6%). This would imply it constitutes a sizable share of the total catastrophic risk burden expected over the rest of this century by skilled and knowledgeable forecasters (8% of the total risk of 20% according to domain experts and 17% of the total risk of 9% according to superforecasters). I think this means that we should research ways to cost-effectively decrease the likelihood that China invades Taiwan. This could mean exploring the prospect of advocating that Taiwan increase its deterrence by investing in cheap but lethal weapons platforms [...] ---Outline:(00:13) Formosa: Fulcrum of the Future?(02:04) Part 0: Background(03:44) Part 1: Invasion -- uncomfortably possible.(08:33) Part 2: Why an invasion would be bad(10:27) 2.1 War and nuclear war(19:20) 2.2.

Toys: They teach us a lot as we're growing up. They teach us to value our possessions, to use our imaginations, and how much our parents don't like it when we leave them all over the floor. It's no wonder we end up putting a lot of nostalgic value into them, or that there is a museum dedicated to them in south-central Oklahoma. The Toy and Action Figure Museum in Pauls Valley has thousands of figures on display, including those from franchises like Marvel, DC Comics, Star Wars, and more. Museum founder Kevin Stark is our featured guest today, giving us a tour of the site's impressive collection and helping us realize why our playtime heroes are worth preserving. Also on this week's episode, the editors share their own favorite toys of the past, and podvents tells us where to catch a cat by its tongue. You won't want to miss it!

Quand on regarde l'Eurovision, on s'attend à voir s'affronter des pays européens. Alors, chaque année, la même question revient sur les réseaux sociaux : « Mais pourquoi Israël participe ? Ce n'est pas un pays d'Europe ! » Et pourtant, Israël est là, sur scène, avec ses artistes, ses votes… et même plusieurs victoires à son actif.Pour comprendre cette présence, il faut revenir à l'origine du concours. L'Eurovision n'est pas organisé par une institution politique comme l'Union européenne, mais par l'Union européenne de radio-télévision — l'UER. Il s'agit d'une organisation qui regroupe des chaînes de télévision publiques. Pour participer au concours, il ne faut donc pas être membre de l'UE, mais avoir une télévision publique membre actif de l'UER. Et c'est le cas d'Israël depuis… 1957 !Mais comment un pays situé au Proche-Orient peut-il faire partie d'un réseau européen ? La réponse est simple : l'UER n'impose pas de frontières géographiques strictes. Elle autorise des membres issus de ce qu'on appelle la « zone de radiodiffusion européenne », un concept défini par l'Union internationale des télécommunications. Cette zone inclut non seulement l'Europe géographique, mais aussi des pays du bassin méditerranéen — dont Israël fait partie.Israël a donc parfaitement le droit de participer au concours. Et il ne s'en est pas privé : le pays a fait ses débuts à l'Eurovision en 1973, et il a même remporté la compétition quatre fois ! Qui se souvient de "A-Ba-Ni-Bi" en 1978, de l'hymne "Hallelujah" en 1979, de la révolution symbolique de Dana International en 1998, ou de l'excentrique Netta en 2018 avec son "Toy" ?Et Israël n'est pas un cas isolé. En 1980, le Maroc a tenté une participation. Depuis 2015, l'Australie – oui, l'Australie ! – est invitée à concourir chaque année. D'autres pays, comme la Turquie, l'Azerbaïdjan ou l'Arménie, bien qu'aux portes de l'Asie, sont aussi présents.En réalité, l'Eurovision est bien plus qu'un concours européen : c'est une fête de la musique télévisée, une grande scène ouverte aux pays qui partagent une histoire de coopération médiatique, même au-delà des frontières du continent.Alors la prochaine fois qu'Israël apparaîtra à l'écran, souvenez-vous : ce n'est pas une anomalie, c'est une tradition bien ancrée.

Back to the toys of the past, we jumped it before so lets jump back to Beast Machines and talk about the weird lil toy line that feels like a lot of misses.
Frank and Thomas sit down on Challenge Accepted to unpack Episode 6, “The Price.” They cover the museum space sequence, Joel's flashback, Ellie's growing doubts, and whether seven episodes can truly deliver the season's emotional punch. Along the way they praise Pedro Pascal's layered work and debate the show's biggest changes from the game. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 | First reactions and why this feels like a return to form 01:00 | Space-museum scene and game accuracy 02:00 | Ellie's attitude shift and Bella Ramsey's range 04:00 | Joel's childhood flashback and father-son parallels 07:00 | Where is Tommy and why his absence matters 09:00 | Season length worries and missing Abby moments 10:00 | Astronaut dream, father-daughter themes, Pedro's subtle acting 12:00 | Joel's lie to Gail, Eugene's fate, and rising plot holes 15:00 | Porch conversation breakdown: “I'd do it all again” 17:00 | The show without Joel and gamer reactions 19:00 | Need for deeper Abby focus before the finale 20:00 | Pedro Pascal's career year and upcoming roles 22:00 | Listener takes, teen-parent dynamics, and Christina's view 24:00 | Joel's hidden depth and the puddle analogy 25:00 | Will Joel return in flashbacks 26:00 | Finale expectations and a Walking Dead–style drop-off risk 27:00 | Toy leaks, prequels done right, and season wrap-up hopes Key Takeaways The space-museum sequence perfectly honors the game and cements Joel's devotion to Ellie. Joel's flashback reframes his protective instincts and adds emotional weight. Seven episodes feel tight given key characters like Abby and Tommy are still underused. Pedro Pascal's nuanced performance anchors the season's biggest moments. Ellie's rebellion finally feels justified as she spots gaps in Joel's story. The finale must balance closure with setup for Season 3 to keep viewers invested. Quotes “If I had the chance to do it all again, I would do it all over again tonight.” “Just because you see a puddle doesn't mean it isn't four feet deep.” “Pedro Pascal is a generational talent and we get to be the beneficiaries.” Call to Action Like what you heard?

There stood the apparition of a little girl, silent, dressed in pale blue with corn dollies woven into her hair.Later, a picture fell from the wall, revealing a hidden photograph tucked inside the frame—an old image of a girl strikingly similar to the one he'd seen. The house had a rhythm of its own. Toy soldiers would fly across the room without warning. At night, Phil lay paralyzed as the ghost of a woman hovered above his bed.These weren't just Phil's experiences. His mother, too, had stories—memories of playing with three mysterious children who visited every summer when she was young. Children, she later realized, no adult ever seemed to see.Some lives are touched by the paranormal. Others are shaped by it.More information on this episode on the podcast website:https://ufochroniclespodcast.com/ep-331-a-life-of-haunting/If you enjoy this podcast, please support the show with a virtual coffee:https://ko-fi.com/ufochroniclespodcastFollow and Subscribe on X to get ad free episodesX: https://x.com/UFOchronpodcast/Want to share your encounter on the show?Email: UFOChronicles@gmail.comOr Fill out Guest Form:https://forms.gle/uGQ8PTVRkcjy4nxS7Podcast Merchandise:https://www.teepublic.com/user/ufo-chronicles-podcastHelp Support UFO CHRONICLES by becoming a Patron:https://patreon.com/UFOChroniclespodcastAll Links for Podcast:https://linktr.ee/UFOChroniclesPodcastThank you for listening!Like share and subscribe it really helps me when people share the show on social media, it means we can reach more people and more witnesses and without your amazing support, it wouldn't be possible.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ufo-chronicles-podcast--3395068/support.

Seventy-nine-year-old Mr. Toy McCord takes us deep into the heart of Sparkleberry Swamp—where he was raised, mentored, and shaped by wild water and duck hunting tradition. He shares vivid memories from his earliest days--like the time a 5-year-old Toy, his brothers and Dad were stranded in the swamp for days--the people who taught him the swamp's secrets, and how his duck hunting passion became a way of life. With unforgettable stories, close calls, and reflections on a changing landscape, Mr. Toy gives voice to a magical place and time that few truly know.

The Lost Legacy of the Disney Store – With a 38th anniversary celebration underway, Lauren and Jim reflect on the rise and fall of the beloved retail chain. D23 Frustrations and Freebies – From vanishing magazines to exclusive shopping windows, Lauren makes her case for why members deserve more (and maybe a plus-one).
