Perhaps the key to understanding modern American politics isn't an academic think tank report, but instead rambunctious cult classic films, like Caddyshack and Animal House, that pit low-status underdogs against high-status bluebloods, preps, and jocks. In an essay for Politico, author Dan Brooks argues that movies like these hardwired Americans to root for the rude, rule-breaking outsiders over the buttoned-up establishment, and it's shaping how people vote.  Today on Lever Time, David Sirota sits down with Brooks to discuss how the “slobs versus snobs” movie trope can be a metaphor for American political parties, why candidates like Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner may be finding traction with voters, and whether Democrats can ever rewrite their role in this story. Read Brooks' essay here.

Owen Hatherley ist ein britischer Publizist mit Fokus auf Architektur (Brutalismus & Modernismus), Politik & Kultur. Er schreibt hauptsächlich für Architectural Review, Jacobin, die London Review of Books, Sidecar & Tribune und hat viele tolle Bücher zu Ästhetik & Politik veröffentlicht. owenhatherley.co.uk Sendung auf Deutsch und Englisch overdubbed, Skript weiter unten Part I is online at https://www.mixcloud.com/ittym/the-alienation-effect-w-owen-hatherley-ptii/ Ausgehend von drei Persönlichkeiten, die sehr unterschiedliche Wege eingeschlagen haben, jedoch alle im Konstruktivismus verwurzelt waren, haben wir im April das geistige und intellektuelle Klima in GB in der Zwischenkriegszeit im Gegensatz zu Zentraleuropa beleuchtet: Die Architekten Erno Goldfinger und Berthold Lubetkin sowie der Kunsthistoriker Nikolaus Pevsner standen im Fokus. Ein unrühmliches Kapitel, nämlich die antisemitisch und fremdenfeindlich motivierte Internierung der meisten Exilanten habe ich am Beispiel Kurt Schwitters umrissen. In seinem Buch gelingt es Owen, die Trope des 'guten Einwanders' zu vermeiden, deren Kehrseite die der 'unerwünschten, schlechten' Immigration ist - die Heterogenität der Exilant:innen spricht für sich. Sie einte Fluchterfahrung und Othering. Viele von ihnen waren überzeugte Antifaschist:innen und ihr Leben und Werk bezeugt das. Owens Begeisterung für einige der Protagonist:innen, seiner 'Held:innen', denn die gibt es durchaus, ist mitreißend. In diesem Teil der Sendung sollen einige von ihnen und ihr Einsatz für öffentlichen Luxus im Mittelpunkt stehen. Und das ist auch die Brücke zur Gegenwart und zu den letzten Sendungen - die Frage nach antifaschistischer Theorie und Praxis.

nternationale Talk Show “Piers Morgan Uncensored“ geht im Internet viralEin Kommentar von Rainer Rupp.Die Diskussionsrunde „Piers Morgan Uncensored“ ist nicht nur im anglo-amerikanischen Sprachraum bekannt und millionenfach abonniert, sondern weit darüber hinaus auch auf Youtube zu sehen. In einer der hitzigsten Folgen der „Show“ seit Beginn des unprovozierten, völkerrechtswidrigen US-israelischen Angriffskriegs gegen Iran lieferten sich die Gäste einen offenen Schlagabtausch über die Rolle Amerikas im Nahost-Konflikt.Neben dem britischen Moderator Piers Morgan nahmen die bekannte US-amerikanische Kommentatorin Ana Kasparian von „The Young Turks“, der pensionierte US-General Mark Kimmitt, der israelische Armeesprecher Jonathan Conricus, der ehemalige israelische Ministerpräsident Naftali Bennett und der in anti-imperialistischen Kreisen hochgeschätzte investigative Journalist Glenn Greenwald an der Zoom-Diskussion teil. Das Thema: die jüngsten US-Militärschläge gegen den Iran und die Frage, ob amerikanische Soldaten erneut für fremde Interessen verheizt werden.Während General Kimmitt und der zionistische Kriegshetzer Johnathan Conricus die US-Kriegsbeteiligung als notwendige Verteidigung gegen angebliche iranische Bedrohungen darstellten, legten Ana Kasparian und Glenn Greenwald den Finger auf die realen Kosten: Auf die menschlichen Opfer des Krieges, die bereits gefallenen US-Soldaten miteigeschlossen, und die Gefahr eines weiteren endlosen Krieges im Nahen Osten.Der Moment, an dem die Diskussion im Internet millionenfach viral ging, war der direkte Zusammenstoß zwischen Ana Kasparian und General Kimmitt einerseits und Greenwalds bravouröse, systematische Demontage des offiziellen Narrativs andererseits. Er erinnerte u.a. daran, dass die USA bereits in Irak und Afghanistan Tausende Soldaten verloren hatten – Kriege, die ebenfalls stark von israelischen Interessen mitgeprägt waren. Seine ruhige, faktenbasierte Art bildete einen starken Kontrast zu ex-General Kimmitts emotionaler Abwehr und der Hasbarah des israelischen Armeesprecher Conricus.Zu dem direkten emotionalen Zusammenstoß zwischen der progressiven, anti-war Ana Kasparian und General Kimmitt kam es, nachdem Kimmitt die Kasparian beschuldigt hatte, sie benutze „tropes“ über die jüngst im Krieg gegen Iran gefallenen US-Soldaten, um ihre Kritik an der US-Unterstützung für Israel zu untermauern. „Ana, please quit using the tropes on American soldiers. I've had to bury seven American soldiers“ (Ana, bitte hör auf, diese Tropes über amerikanische Soldaten zu benutzen. Ich musste sieben amerikanische Soldaten begraben) sagte Kimmitt sichtlich gereizt. Kasparian ließ ihn jedoch nicht davonkommen.Zum besseren Verständnis eine kurze Erklärung, was mit einem „Trope“ gemeint ist: In politischen Debatten wird das Wort fast immer als hämisches Grinsen verwendet: Es soll andeuten, dass die geäußerte Idee keinen Anspruch auf Ernsthaftigkeit hat, sondern in die Kategorie klischeehafter, manipulativer oder verschwörerischer Narrative gehört. Hier hat General Kimmitt den Begriff „Trope“ als Waffe eingesetzt, um Ana Kasparians Punkt zu delegitimieren, bevor der überhaupt debattiert werden konnte....https://apolut.net/greenwald-und-kasparian-enttarnen-propaganda-der-kriegstreiber-von-rainer-rupp/ Hosted on Acast.

Que a guerra não nos afaste dos assuntos domésticos comezinhos e candentes: o congresso em que o PS entrou a ameaçar romper com o PSD e de que saiu disponível para convergências com o Governo; o relatório de segurança interna, com números para todo o tipo de narrativas: um aumento alarmante das violações e uma diminuição clara da criminalidade violenta; os diferentes conselhos a Montenegro sobre a necessidade de reformas: com o Chega (Passos Coelho) ou sem o Chega (Cavaco); e a polémica da leitura obrigatória no secundário. Mas depois, inevitavelmente, há a guerra, com o aumento dos combustíveis e das prestações da casa, e o fluxo permanente de declarações de Trump, contradizendo-se a cada dia que passa.

From the end of prestige imprints like Dial Books to the flood of AI content, they explore why the industry feels increasingly "disposable" and "noisy."Key Discussion PointsThe Shift to Content Management: Private equity firms are replacing veteran editors with "content managers" to prioritize franchises over literary prestige.The AI Explosion: Of the 4 million books published in 2025, approximately 3.5 million were AI-generated, burying human authors in the Amazon ecosystem.The "Trope" Trap: Acquisitions often require specific TikTok hashtags—like "Enemies to Lovers"—to ensure easier, data-driven marketing.Indie Press Opportunities: Smaller houses are thriving by focusing on niche audiences, such as middle-aged readers, that the "Big Five" often overlook.No More Developmental Edits: Overworked editors no longer have time to "fix" books; manuscripts must be 100% publication-ready before querying.Tips for AuthorsBuild Early: Identify and connect with your audience directly rather than relying on a publishing house to do it for you.Polish Fully: Use your community or coaches to ensure your work is flawless before submission, as agents and editors are spread too thin to provide heavy revisions.Next Guest: Author and 5th-grade teacher Colby Sharp joins the show on April 27th.Connect with UsSubmit your "First Pages" for an on-air critique!Follow Writers with Wrinkles on Threads (our new crystal ball) and TikTok.

From Viking werewolf comics and serialized audio deals to squirrel shifter romance and tarot decks for business diagnostics, the conversation centers on one key idea: innovation comes from smashing unlikely things together.Along the way, they unpack the concept of asymmetric risk — taking creative bets that might fail but could also unlock entirely new audiences. The discussion also dives deep into rights management, creative positioning, and building books as long-term assets, reminding authors that every book can become part of an expanding investment portfolio if they retain control of their rights.The result is both philosophical and practical: a reminder that in the modern publishing landscape, success often comes from embracing weird ideas, hedging experiments intelligently, and creating work that only you can make.Topics Covered:* “Bushwhacking” creativity: cutting new paths by smashing ideas together* Agility quotient and why adaptability may matter more than emotional intelligence* From Viking werewolves to erotic comics: turning unexpected mashups into stories* Translating books into other media: comics, serialized audio, and new formats* Why books function as long-term creative assets and investment portfolios* Licensing opportunities authors often overlook (AI audio, streaming, serialized audio)* The importance of protecting your intellectual property and retaining rights* Common publishing contract pitfalls: perpetual rights and overly broad licensing* Narrowband rights strategies for audiobooks and emerging media* How creators can learn from early career publishing mistakes without getting stuck* Emotional detachment from failed deals or old publishers* Asymmetric risk: the relationship between unconventional ideas and breakthrough success* Why the biggest creative opportunities often come with the highest uncertainty* Hedging creative bets with proven series or steady income streams* Testing experimental ideas through Kickstarter, serialization, or niche launches* Using data and reader feedback to refine experimental series* Why authors sometimes mistake creative failure for personal failure* “Containers for money”: different projects attracting different audiences* Why some books in the same series perform differently than others* Building reader relationships through newsletters and audience ownership* Experimentation as a core creative business strategy* Why weird ideas (squirrel shifters, tarot business decks, bizarre brands) can succeed* The importance of positioning and finding the right audience* Trope + voice: combining market expectations with unique creative elements* Why tropes help readers discover new stories* Positioning creative work for discoverability without losing originality* The tension between writing for the market vs writing personal passion projects* How niche ideas can become major successes if they find the right readers* Learning to tolerate criticism and dislike when building a public creative brand* Why being distinctive is increasingly important in an AI-saturated world* Encouraging imagination and experimentation in creative careers* Turning books into multiple formats and revenue streams* The long-term value of building a creative ecosystem around your work* Final takeaway: success often begins with one weird idea you decide to pursue anyway This is a public episode.

In a new series, The Guys talk about one of the iconic tropes of storytelling, The Chosen One. First they discuss why the trope holds such a sway over people that storytellers keep examining it. Then, the guys discuss some of their favorite and least favorite iterations of the trope ranging from Paul Atreides, to Emmet from The Lego Movie, and Harry Potter.

In this Thursday episode of Book Talk for BookTok, we bring an academic lens to bookish culture, genre fiction, and the conversations shaping romance and romantasy today. Our podcast blends literary analysis, cultural criticism, and emotional honesty. We treat romance, romantasy, and fanfiction as genres worthy of serious discussion, not just quick takes. This episode is part of our Subtext Society series, inspired by The Subtext Society Journal. The Subtext Society Journal is a collaborative publication dedicated to thoughtful essays on romance, romantasy, fan culture, and publishing ethics. We explore moral questions, genre evolution, power dynamics, and the real-world impact of stories, guided by values of literary rigor without gatekeeping, community over hierarchy, and ethics-first analysis. Today's discussion focuses on the article: “The Mother Curse in Fantasy and Romantasy." This episode explores a thought-provoking essay examining the “mother curse” in fantasy and romantasy — the recurring pattern in which maternal figures are absent, idealized, villainized, or narratively sidelined. Drawing on examples across popular genre fiction, the article argues that mothers are frequently reduced to plot devices: either saintly protectors who lack depth, antagonistic figures who embody trauma, or background characters removed from the story through death, illness, or distance. Rather than treating this as a simple trope critique, the piece considers why authors may struggle to portray complex motherhood and asks whether the genre itself avoids fully realized maternal perspectives. Ultimately, it proposes a shift toward richer, more nuanced portrayals (including stories that center mothers as protagonists) and invites readers to reconsider how fantasy narratives shape our understanding of gender, agency, and family dynamics.

Trump posted a video featuring A.I. Obamas as monkeys on Truth Social. Internet on fire in...3...2...1...

This playlist is 72% vinyl friendly. Not bad. The SL-1300G in 2025. Technics keeping it simple with the design, if not with the spec trying to convince punters they need one. ‘Coreless Direct Drive Motor Achieving Stable Rotation The use of a coreless direct-drive motor with no iron core eliminates uneven rotation of the turntable known as cogging. Also, the twin-rotor construction reduces the bearing load while maintaining high torque and reduces minute vibrations during rotation. Furthermore, the SL-1300G's motor was redesigned to eliminate subtle vibrations that could affect sound quality. To improve rigidity, the same reinforcement pattern as the Reference Class SL-1000R/SP-10R was used for the coil mounting base‘. Any track marked * has been given either a tiny or a slightly larger 41 Rooms tweak/edit/chop and the occasional tune might sound a bit dodgy, quality-wise. On top of that, the switch between different decades and production values never helps in the mix here. NB: THIS PLAYLIST INCLUDES EXPLETIVES. Lyric of Playlist 148 For the reality… Courtesy of Crooked Man, Jarvis’ by a country mile, but… For the idyll…John Sebastian. 00.00 (Intro) THE FLAMINGOS – Stars (Edit) – Unreleased demo – 1983. Episode #1 for info. 00.41 NEW ORDER – Turn – Waiting For The Sirens’ Call, 2LP – London – 2005 With Barney’s lilting, slightly forlorn vocal, a little gem nearly lost on one of the band’s least successful albums. 05.02 LITTLE NEMO – A Day Out Of Time – Past And Future, LP – Domestica – 2013 Though the track originally surfaced in 1987 on the 500 run, cassette-only format of the (debut) album. Even back then it could have been seen as yet another ‘sound’ out of Europe that seemed to echo the UK alternative/new wave scene of a few years earlier. 08.48 KIM GORDON – Not Today – Play Me, LP – Matador – 2026 Get past the intro – where it very momentarily sounds (to my ears anyway) like the batteries ran out – and Kim Gordon drifts nicely across the wash of sound. 12.03 THE COMSAT ANGELS – The Eye Dance – Sleep No More, LP – Polydor – 1981 Judging by a known set list for late Nov ’81 and the fact the band were then promoting the recently released, above album, this track was likely in the set list for my Bedford Corn Exchange gig promotion earlier that month. Big smiles when I hear them… though I’ve sadly never heard a tape of the Bedford night. 15.40 BUNNYDRUMS – Holy Moly – Holy Moly, LP – Fundamental – 1984 The short-lived, mid ’80s Philadelphian band with a quirky mix of ‘new wave’ vocal and a belting soul vocal bv in the backdrop of a low slung, punk country’ish workout. Maybe it’s the ‘yippee-ki-yay’ and pseudo peddle steel guitar? The band have been here before – and will be again. 21.30 COSTUME – Once I Loved (Original Mix) – Download only – 2021 Claudia Placanica’s slightly disconcerting delivery is always the thing for me! 23.54 THE IRONSIDES – The Web – Changing Light, LP – Colemine – 2023 Cinematically soundtracking the ’70s like a good’un! The Streets of San Francisco and its like… which is apt… as that’s where The Ironsides are from. 28.57 BABY ROSE – Go – Through and Through, LP – Secretly Canadian – 2023 My fave 21st century track of the show, Jasmine Rose Wilson (to her mum and dad) with a quivering indie soul vocal – on this tune anyway – that Anonhi/Antony and the Johnsons could have penned and rolled out, albeit with a slightly different sound, no doubt. And that really is the sleeve, honest. I could be wrong but I reckon it’s a photographer’s dud that someone subsequently had a weird liking for. I struggle to actually look at it! 31.56 THE DRIFTERS – Like Sister and Brother – 7″ – Bell – 1973 I had this single in the mid ’70s but with the years since maybe ‘softening’ the senses, this made-to-measure ballad (with lead vocalist, Bill Fredericks sounding more like Johnny Mathis than I’d have remembered) sounds better now than it did back then but in the world we now live in there will be few if any songs written like this again. I had to run the idea past one of my teenage years mates but I reckon that, along with Jimmy Ruffin’s What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted (and others, no doubt), this was a last-dance-of-the-night/grab-a-girl-type tune at Bedford Rugby Club’s Saturday night ‘discos’. I’m making this actually sound like the ’40s but it was the era and I was in my late teens… and until I find my membership card, this’ll have to do. ‘Swing to Boomerang’ indeed. I don’t think they came back. 34.52 EYELESS IN GAZA – Flight Of Swallows – Back From The Rains, LP – Cherry Red – 1986 The intro to my 1984 Rorschach Testing article below sums up my thinking on Flight back then – and though the track was being played live at the time it was a couple of years before it surfaced on the above album. EIG article, Rorschach Testing, 1984 39.22 JONI MITCHELL – Eastern Rain – Archives – Volume 1: The Early Years 1963-1967, 5CD – Rhino – 2020 Truly a legend, such is the quality of the lady’s songwriting this beaut – from a Folklore Radio broadcast, of March 19, 1967 – never even made it to an official album and though it was covered by others and turned up in Joni live appearances of the time it took until the above retrospective to be released officially. And she’ll be back here quicker than you might be expecting. 43.13 SÓLEY – I Will Find You (Live, at the KEX Hostel in Reykjavik: 30.10.13) – Stream only – 2013 With a whole different tone to Liam Neeson’s ‘I Will Find You’ :), a production from the classy KEXP and a song only found on Sóley’s 5 track, 10″ EP, Don’t Ever Listen. This take however is a far more endearing version. 45.54 NORMA TANEGA – Walkin’ My Cat Named Dog – 7″ – Stateside – 1966 Was Norma ‘indie’ before there was such a thing? Sadly, she died in 2019 but search out a short Youtube interview and snippets piece (and the comments that followed) from a decade or so earlier. It was meant to be included in a proposed documentary that never then got going. 48.06 THE ELECTRIC FLAG – Look Into My Eyes – A Long Time Comin’, CD only – Columbia – 2003 From a handful of tracks that possibly didn’t make the cut for the initial 1968 release of the Chicago soul rock band’s second album, this is one of two that were first added to the above reissue. 50.52 LOVIN’ SPOONFUL – Summer In The City – 7″ – Kama Sutra – 1966 Maybe the best known tune on the show, with a forceful sounding John Sebastian and his/their ‘city’ being New York and its Greenwich Village hub back then. 53.13 THE FORTUNES – Here It Comes Again – 7″ – Decca – 1965 Innocent ’60s ‘pop’ with a classy arrangement, and another the likes of which will never be made again… and certainly not by anybody aiming for the charts. 56.09 THE MINDBENDERS – Groovy Kind Of Love – 7″ – Fontana – 1965 Wayne Fontana at the helm (and co-written by a pre-Sager Carol Bayer, I’ve just noted) I think this might have subconsciously stuck with me enough in its chart days (I was 8), to then make it to my record collection in the early ’70s. It felt then like a great many happily got rid of their records (certainly singles) after just a few years coz every second hand record shop had loads of chart stuff from just the 5-10 years prior. I was too young to have been buying the height of ’60s ‘pop’ during its time but picking it up a decade later was dead easy. Bet this cost me 10p or thereabouts. 58.05 SPUDDHA – Ton – Unreleased demo – 2014 ‘Recorded in a single take with a pair of £100 analog groove boxes (Korg Volcas) and there's no multi tracking, effects or post processing. One of the boxes is a three voice paraphonic synth and the other is an analogue drum machine. ‘At the time I was interested in making big, immersive music with an organic quality with sparse loops and a minimal setup. There's a lot of live tweaking and you will notice that the limitations of the synth mean that 1) only 3 notes can sound simultaneously and 2) the voices interrupt each other. Also presets couldn't be saved… if I didn't record what I was doing I couldn't move onto making something else without losing it all‘. – Spuddha. ‘Spud’ to me. 01.04.46 LONELADY – Hinterland – Hinterland, LP – Warp – 2015 Julie Lonelady groovin’ a tune and lyric that should have been here before now. c/w Julie ‘helping out’… 01.09.32 JONI MITCHELL – River (acapella) 01.13.30 ATRIC & FRIDA DARKO – Hide & Seek – Download only – 2023 ‘Always trying to combine genre fluid compositions, qualitative mixing and to take the whole process with a good sense of humor‘. – Them, via Bandcamp 01.17.26 A CERTAIN RATIO – Knife Slits Water (Peel session, June ’81) – Sextet, 2LP reissue – Factory Benelux – 2013 Yep, with Martha ‘Tilly’ Tilson’s oh-so-right vocal, the slightly epic Knife Slits Water. Very coincidentally, the day ACR recorded the above Peel session (according to the Keeping It Peel site) I saw them live supporting Cabaret Voltaire at Leicester Uni and the day the session was broadcast my diary says I had a long phone chat with Rob Gretton – no idea about what, other than re what New Order were up to at that point. 01.25.11 EARL16 – Changing World (Remix) – , LP – Merge Records – 2001 I caught this on a late night KISS FM radio show. His conscious sounds here taken up a few BPM. 01.30.05 COURTNEY BUCHANAN – R U Conscious (Album version) – 12″ – Conscious – 1993 And speaking of ‘conscious’… ‘Courtney has one of the most soulful, spiritual voices to come out of the UK. His music here combines jazzy acoustic sounds with delicate use of technology on a rhythmic, down-paced head nodder. I various mixes, the track’s ‘conscious’ lyrics and impressive vocals are a fine showcase for this British talent.‘ – Ralph Tee, Record Mirror (Music Week), 3.7.93 01.34.42 DELTA HOUSE OF FUNK – Lovers & Losers – 12″ EP – Go! Discs – 1996 Decided to playlist this before I remembered it was another of Ashley Beedle’s works. So, this is with a big nod to a top lad who’s been going through the health ringer in the last few years. 01.39.38 DRAX – Middle Earth – Drax Two, 12″EP – Trope – 1993 Clear vinyl gentle German techno. 01.44.51 CROOKED MAN – Cunts – Crooked Stile, 2LP – Viscous Charm – 2026 The reimagining here courtesy of Richard ‘Parrot’ Barratt. ‘Jarvis Cocker released Running The World in 2006The line ‘cunts are still running the world' is more relevant than ever… 20 years on and Crooked Man thought it needed to be said againHis razor-sharp reimagining is a call to arms with added electronic biteHe's skipped the niceties and titled it CUNTS.Out today on Vicious Charm today. The track is accompanied by an Agit-Prop video directed by British contemporary artist Dominic McGill, who, armed with a photocopier and a scalpel, has cut & pasted a perfect accompaniment to the song – breathless and furious. They are still running the world. It’s a work of “northern genius”, Jarvis’ words, not ours‘. – Bandcamp. 01.47.21 DESPERATE JOURNALIST – 7 – No Hero, LP – Fierce Panda – 2024 Driving indie rockers ever present on Simon Williams’ Fierce Panda label, with a nod to Jo Bevan’s confident vocals. 01.50.22 GANZHEIT – Motions – ‘Summer Of ’84’ demos cassette, unreleased – 1984 With a couple of this cassette’s tracks now playlisted on 41 Rooms, there are more to come from this lost Bedford-based band. Show 149 will be here March 1. Dec x The post Post Punk Plus Podcast Playlist 148 – Original upload 1.2.26 appeared first on 41Rooms.

Ochelli Effect 1-8-2026 Pearse Redmond South Park Double Season Break down 27 and 28?PORKINShttps://porkinspolicyreview.com/https://x.com/PorkinsPolicySouth Parkhttps://www.imdb.com/title/tt0121955/Why is the PEACOCK streamer advertising on PARAMOUNT PLUS?Fast paced Jokes wrapped inside other jokes in the opening minutes of episode 1 of Season 27 makes it look like the old SOUTH PARK of unmerciful humor has returned. It appears to be topical and somehow pre-packaged to age well. After the first break the woke culture leading to Cartman and his Homicide / Self Ending pact makes sense as before the break Eric asked, "What am I supposed to do"?PC Principle is now Power Christian Principal. That with Trump and the portraits who he is threatening to sue everyone over and the adapted Saddam  Hussein Flappy Head cut-out character is seemingly perfectly matched with the MSM buckling as the WOKE VS ANTI-WOKE culture War rages on. The conclusion of the "Pro Trump Messaging" makes the whole first Episode set a tone that is equally ambitions and an astounding throwback to the earlier versions of the show that made it a Cultural touchstone that Pops.Trying to make a Nut while running an I C E Raid on Heaven during a podcaster rising looking very much like Charlie Kirk in Eric Cartman's Skin, While dogs continue to get shot by Kristi Noem and The Master Debating gets rewarded when Clyde goes to Mara Lago. Pet' Galore AKA PETTSMART with Noem going berserk killing puppies in the spa is a great post-credit scene, but makes the Tegridy Farms ICE taking Randy's Mexicans.The show keeps it's foot on the gas as top speed is achieved for the ChatGPT overlap and the Towel is even caught up in AI overdependence. Do you feel smarter? The Jabba The Hut Homage is a completely unanticipated Trope but Satan becoming pregnant opens up whole new avenues for the Joke Rolls. Labubu plush toys make fights break out everywhere as Jesus tries to counsel people and his fake Christian singer check does a mic check to let us all know Wok and Woke is dead and buried in a mystery box.Tariffs as seen and covered by FOX News and diverse reporters all knowing Butt-Babies are binding but Trump had been Fucking Satan The whole time. In your face Tik Tok. Either way, don't bet on the gender reveal of any demonic Butt-Baby. Then again Conflicts of Human interest do persist over Gazza. Sorry not Sono or the Turkey Trot keep The Woman in The hat busy with Twisted Christians during the Crap Out. Saudi Money that can't pay the janitor who was once a DEI hire for 5k and a 5k, no matter how much brown-nosing goes un reported because, FAKE NEWSThat's 2 seasons at 5 episodes a piece and they were packed every 2 weeks. Plus Peter and The Anti-Christ made the devil sing but will anyone acknowledge the Up Front issue of who Trump is in bed with because Merry Christmas is a thing again.FINAP HEADLINES for the same day we recorded thisLive updates: State investigators say they can't access ICE shooting evidence after FBI takes case     Minneapolis protesters vent their outrage after an ICE officer kills a woman    What to know about the rules for officers firing at a moving vehicle    Trump officials and Louisiana put an end to another decades-old school desegregation order    Judge blocks Trump administration from purging DEI-related terms from Head Start grant applications    Judge disqualifies federal prosecutor in investigation into New York Attorney General Letitia James    Hochul and Mamdani unveil free child care plan in New York City    White House is presenting Trump's ballroom project for a review months after construction began    Justice Department sues Connecticut and Arizona as part of effort to get voter data from the states\BE THE EFFECThelp Ochelli and The Network keep goingMrs.OLUNA ROSA CANDLEShttp://www.paypal.me/Kimberlysonn1Listen/Chat on the Sitehttps://ochelli.com/listen-live/TuneInhttp://tun.in/sfxkxAPPLEhttps://music.apple.com/us/station/ochelli-com/ra.1461174708Ochelli Link Treehttps://linktr.ee/chuckochelliBE THE EFFECTListen/Chat on the Sitehttps://ochelli.com/listen-live/TuneInhttp://tun.in/sfxkxAPPLEhttps://music.apple.com/us/station/ochelli-com/ra.1461174708Ochelli Link Treehttps://linktr.ee/chuckochelliAnything is a blessing if you have the meansWithout YOUR support we go silent

“New Year. New You.” Hard pass. In this solo episode, Jenn calls time-of-death on “New Year, New You” and offers a far more grounded, powerful alternative: New Year. New Opening. Instead of reinventing yourself, this conversation invites you to understand yourself—starting with your values. Jenn walks through why values aren't words for websites or walls, but the foundation of effective leadership, resilient teams, and sustainable joy. You'll learn a simple, practical framework for identifying and operationalizing your values so they actually shape your decisions, culture, and day-to-day leadership—not just sit on a wall collecting dust. Here's What's in the Episode: You don't need a new you—you need self-leadership. And self-leadership starts with clarity, not hustle. Values are a business strategy, not a personality exercise. Values-driven cultures consistently outperform on revenue, retention, and trust. Clarity beats willpower every time. When your values are named, defined, and operationalized, decisions get easier—and alignment follows. Words don't create culture. Behavior does. Values only matter when they show up in how you lead, communicate, and make decisions under pressure. Key Takeaway Values are more than aspirational. The need to be operational to cultivate joy.
