When your crush doesn't like you back it can really feel like the end of the world. Especially when it coincides with the Vampire King gaining the ability to walk above ground, a Lovecraftian monster bursting through the floor of your school, and a prophecy foretelling your death.
The figure of the young, tragic male poet has long dominated cultural narratives about artistic brilliance and early death. But what if poetic genius deepens, rather than fades, with age? In this talk given at the 2025 Harvard Horizons Symposium, Slavic languages and literatures PhD candidate and Harvard Horizons Scholar Alex Braslavsky explores the creative power of poets in their advanced age in her project, "Embracing Twilight: Older Women Poets and the Unfurling of Their Voices". Focusing on three radical women writers, Braslavsky examines how aging can become a source of artistic innovation, personal transformation, and visionary insight. Drawing on archival research and a deep connection to Slavic literary traditions, her work challenges dominant cultural myths of decline and illuminates the enduring power of late-life creativity.

It's reorg season…again. And for many companies, it always is. Every 12 to 18 months, another wave of layoffs, leadership swaps, and org chart redraws rolls through the system. And yet, little changes. Strategy stalls. Trust erodes. Work doesn't get better, just messier. So why do so many organizations keep reaching for the reorg lever first? This week, Rodney and Sam unpack the seductive logic (and systemic failure) of reorgs as a change strategy. They dig into why structure work always feels like the fastest, most visible move a leader can make and why it so rarely delivers. Along the way, they explore the very real fallout of these moves on culture, trust, and performance, and offer smarter starting points for those considering a shake-up. -------------------------------- Let's work together: https://www.theready.com/working-together Get our newsletter: Sign up here.

Joined by CIA whistleblower Kevin Shipp, we unravel whether Epstein was a monstrous predator or a calculated intelligence asset running a high-stakes honeytrap for the CIA, Mossad, or both. Shipp exposes the shadowy mechanics of blackmail, elite control, and institutional cover-ups, questioning missing footage, sealed files, and the DOJ's murky moves. Was Epstein's empire a Deep State tool to puppeteer global elites? GUEST: Kevin Shipp, a decorated CIA officer turned whistleblower, exposed the Deep State's dark underbelly after years at Langley. Author of Twilight of the Shadow Government, he reveals how secrecy fuels tyranny. Having faced retaliation for his truth-telling, Shipp's expertise in espionage and institutional corruption offers unmatched insight into the Jeffrey Epstein case. Was Epstein a CIA-Mossad asset? Shipp's chilling analysis on Strange Planet uncovers the architecture of blackmail and power, warning that the greatest threat to freedom lies within America's clandestine networks.

In 1864, the twin German powers of Austria and Prussia join together to beat up on little Denmark. In 1866, they have a falling out and beat up on each-other. The Italians, still salty over their last war with Austria, join on Prussia's side, with the goal of seizing Venice once and for all. The Austro-Prussian War, also known as the Seven Weeks' War, will determine which power – Austria or Prussia – will control the destiny of Germany. Meanwhile, Italian nationalists have their eyes set on more than Venice. If they can manage it, they aim to conquer Rome itself.

✦ The Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever is dancing into its 10th year in Atlanta on Saturday, July 26, in Candler Park. City Lights Collective member, Chantelle Rytter, has more on this odd Atlanta tradition that brings Kate Bush and Emily Brontë fans together in a public dance. ✦ Today marks the 5th anniversary of Congressman John Lewis' death. Lewis dedicated his life to advancing the cause of freedom and equality in America and was a towering figure in our country's struggle for civil rights. He inspired countless people, including the band members of the Cabbagetown band, Evan Stepp & The Piners. They recently released a single titled "Good Trouble," and Evan joined us recently to share the story behind the song. ✦ The West End's Portrait Coffee is hosting an event this weekend called "A Place to Play," and City Lights Collective co-host Jon Goode recently sat down with co-founder Marcus Hollinger to learn why play is not a game. ✦ Today, we trace the history of one of Atlanta's most nostalgic institutions: the Science & Technology Museum of Atlanta, or SciTrek. From its grassroots beginnings to becoming a downtown sensation, SciTrek brought science to life for a generation. City Lights Collective member, podcaster, and self-proclaimed history nerd Victoria Lemos recently traced SciTrek's journey through civic politics, fundraising highs and lows, and the love Atlantans still have for the museum today. If you grew up here (or wish you had), this nostalgic deep dive is for you. ✦ You know as well as we do that there is always a plethora of things to do in Atlanta, and we have earned the title of "The Cultural Capital of the South." Mike Jordan, senior editor at the AJC, and Sammie Purcell, associate editor at Rough Draft Atlanta, know this well too. They join us weekly to share a few of their picks for your weekend entertainment. ✦ ATL Comic Convention is this weekend, and a couple of the stars from the hit saga "Twilight" will be in town to participate. WABE arts reporter Summer Evans spoke with two of the vampires—actors Kellan Lutz and Jackson Rathbone, or for you fangs out there, that would be Jasper Hale and Emmett Cullen, ahead of their appearance at the Georgia World Congress Center.

"Summer Surprise" rolls along, and this time around our online randomizer has chosen a film from perhaps our most dreaded cinematic genre - a "supernatural romance" YA adaptation! That's right, 2013's Beautiful Creatures was another studio attempt to cash-in on and replicate the success of Twilight, and upon its release it was roundly dismissed as such by both critics and audiences. But could this Southern Gothic tale of love and witchcraft possibly work its magic on us? If nothing else, will we fall under the spell of one of the most impressive ensemble casts we've encountered so far, with Alden Ehrenreich, Alice Englert, Jeremy Irons, Emma Thompson, Viola Davis, Emmy Rossum, Margo Martindale, Zoey Deutch, and Lois Lane herself, Rachel Brosnahan? Or will we once again be left "cursing" the fates that caused us to watch yet another YA adaptation? Our Twitter Our Facebook Our Instagram Our YouTube Trev's Letterboxd Chris' Letterboxd
Got a question? Let us know!What do Chick-fil-A grand openings, dance floors, and Psalm 100 have in common? A lot more than you'd think.In this episode, we kick things off with some nostalgia—remember those campouts for free chicken? Pastor Doug shares how that same excitement shows up when that one song hits.We talk about weddings, dance-floor theology, and what it means when joy becomes contagious. Pastor Doug opens up about how Psalm 100 invites us closer to a God who's not distant, but personal—and why that can feel both comforting and uncomfortable. Plus, a surprise party story, a Twilight confession (Team Edward or Team Jacob?), and a conversation about how God's love and ownership of us can change how we live.The Big Idea: The more we understand the why, the more meaningful the invitation becomes.

Today Griffey, Heath, Sophia and Sam discuss what we love about the blood soaked king of horror monsters...THE VAMPIRE! We discuss the early roots of the undead portrayal from Bela Lugosi to Max Schreck, more modern youthful vampire like the Lost Boys and Twilight, to box office juggernauts that you can't kill like Sinners and Interview with the Vampire. It was such a fun time to sink our fangs deep into the vein of this classic Horror subgenre. You the audience will let us know who you think won! Which festival would you most like to attend?

What if the end was not a possibility, but a promise? In this episode, we delve deep into the epic Norse myth of Ragnarök, the prophesied "Twilight of the Gods." We journey from the first chilling signs of Fimbulwinter and the moral decay of the world, to the breaking of Fenrir's chains and the sounding of Heimdall's horn. Follow the final, fated battles of gods like Odin, Thor, and Loki against monstrous foes. Witness the destruction of the Nine Realms by fire and flood, and discover what—and who—rises from the ashes. Is this a story of ultimate despair, or one of profound, cyclical hope? Plus, stick around for our "Focus on Language" segment where we break down advanced vocabulary like "harbinger," "inexorable," and "Pyrrhic victory" to elevate your English, and offer a speaking challenge to help you master the art of storytelling.
