The 1920 Democratic Convention and the Ohio Connection Guest: David Pietrusza Meeting in San Francisco, the Democrats faced a grueling nomination process dictated by the "two-thirds rule," which required 44 ballots to select James M. Cox. The convention was overshadowed by a frail Woodrow Wilson, who still harbored secret hopes for a third term despite his inability to even put in a full day's work. The contest featured William Gibbs McAdoo, Wilson's"dry" son-in-law, and the "moderately wet" Cox. The atmosphere was further charged by the recent Palmer Raids and anarchist bombings. Al Smith emerged as the first viable Roman Catholic candidate, though his time would not come until years later. Ultimately, the party chose Franklin D. Roosevelt as the vice-presidential nominee. FDR was selected largely for his famous last name and to move him out of New York state politics, where he had been a troublesome figure for the Tammany Hall machine. (5)1920

Headline: The Secretive Construction of Iran's Pickaxe Mountain Guest: Andrea Stricker Andrea Stricker warns of a deeply buried nuclear site at Pickaxe Mountain, which may house advanced centrifuges. The facility is located two-thirds of a mile underground, making it extremely difficult to disable via airstrikes. Stricker recommends the U.S.demand IAEA inspections to verify compliance.

The core structural shift affecting MSPs and IT service providers is a market bifurcation, where the traditional middle-ground offering—an undifferentiated blend of hardware and support—no longer matches client buying behavior. Dave Sobel referenced research from Techisle, which underscores a split between buyers seeking high-touch, managed outcomes and those opting for low-cost, self-serve technology tools. This division is further exacerbated by increasing component costs and external pressures on hardware pricing, particularly the rapidly escalating prices for memory and storage. Supporting data comes from a recent analysis of approximately 3,000 MSP websites conducted by Business of Tech. The scan found that 68% of MSPs make no mention of AI in their public-facing materials, with only about 1 in 7 offering a defined AI service. Simultaneously, reporting from both Business Insider and E2E reveals that 90% of businesses already have employees using AI tools—primarily adopted independently rather than through formal provider channels. This disconnect highlights a lag in MSP market positioning relative to how technology is actually being acquired and implemented by clients. Additional market stresses are introduced by rising hardware costs linked directly to shortages in memory and storage components. Apple's price increases for Macs and iPads serve as a tangible example, justified by upstream cost spikes in DRAM, which CNBC reported has increased nearly 9x—from approximately $35 to $300 per module. Further, AI data center buildouts are projected to divert up to 20% of consumer memory manufacturing by 2027, suggesting ongoing and intensifying cost pressures for MSPs still reliant on hardware-centric business models. Most providers, as observed by Dave Sobel, remain silent or default to restating the value of external AI platforms like Microsoft Copilot. The practical implication for MSPs and IT service providers is a pressing need to reassess positioning and operational models. Providers embedded in the undifferentiated middle face rising cost risk, declining differentiation, and potential margin erosion. Viable paths require declaring and operationalizing a clear service model, either by transparently externalizing hardware and component pricing risk, or by committing to outcome-based, managed offerings where the provider takes on measurable accountability. Those who adapt agreements and marketing to clarify their role—particularly by documenting internal AI-driven efficiencies—will be better equipped to sustain margin and client relevance as market forces continue to widen the gap. 00:00 Two-Thirds of MSPs Are Silent  04:37 The Memory Shock Splitting the Market 07:05 No Buyer Left in the Middle 10:41 Why Do We Care?  Supported by:  CometBackup ScalePad

Pay Transparency Hits July 1, Two-Thirds of HR Leaders Don't Know What AI Can Do & 84% of Healthcare Workers Feel Taken for GrantedJune 22nd, 2026. Luke Carignan is flying solo — Bo and Jeremy are out — and he is not slowing down. Three stories: compliance, technology, and the most human challenge in healthcare right now.⚖️ Pay Transparency Laws Hit Virginia and Maine July 1 Every job posting in Virginia and Maine must include an actual salary range beginning July 1st. No "competitive compensation." No DOE. Virginia's law has no employer size threshold — a 20-person clinic and a 50,000-employee health system face the same requirement. A salary history ban is also in effect. 16 states now have pay transparency laws. Penalties start at $1,000 per violation, with a 15-day correction window that protects you from a lawsuit on that specific posting. Action: Audit your postings today. Then stop treating this as compliance and start treating it as competitive advantage. Candidates are three times more likely to apply when a salary range is included. In a market with 1.3 million open healthcare jobs, that is not a small number.

More than 40% of American marketers can't define positioning. And 84% of those same marketers rate themselves as above average. Both can't be right.This week, Elena, Angela, and Rob are joined by Mark Ritson, marketing professor, consultant, and creator of the Mini MBA. Mark walks through his new research with Ipsos on US marketing knowledge, explains why formal training is the single biggest predictor of marketing competence, and shares the one concept every marketer should prioritize.

65% of respondents use free external GenAI in work or pay for the tool themselves, Deloitte's third GenAI pulse has found. Only 35% work for an employer that pays for their external GenAI. Despite this, the number of companies encouraging GenAI use has nearly doubled compared to 2024; nearly half (46%) of respondents work for a company that encourages the use of GenAI. In contrast to 2024, when less than one-quarter (24%) strongly agreed or agreed that their company encouraged its use. The findings come from Deloitte Ireland's third GenAI pulse survey as part of the Digital Consumer Trends report, where 1,000 people between the ages of 18 and 75 were surveyed in Ireland. The number of respondents who said their workplace has policies or guidance about the use of GenAI for work purposes has jumped. In 2025, just 19% of those surveyed said their company does not have a policy or guidance, but in 2024, 90% of employees reported a lack of guidance or policies. Talent remains the biggest challenge for embedding AI, with 84% citing skills gaps as the main barrier, according to additional Deloitte AI research published last week, which gathered views of C-suite leaders and directors in Ireland. Commenting on the report's findings, Lynn Guilbaud, Technology, Media & Telecommunications Leader in Deloitte Ireland, said: "Everyone has heard the expression people won't be replaced by AI, but will be replaced by people using it. This is why it's positive to see a growing number of organisations with policies and guidance around its use. This technology isn't just a tool; it's a game-changer that can revolutionise how we work, boosting efficiency, unlocking new levels of productivity and fundamentally transforming the competitiveness of organisations that embrace it. "But this won't happen overnight. To harness AI's potential, organisations need to invest in ongoing training and support, guiding their teams every step of the way." There is a clear gap between generations' GenAI use, despite awareness being high across age groups. The GenAI pulse survey shows more than 4 in 5 (83%) of Gen Zs and 76% of Millennials use GenAI, but this drops to just over half (57%) in Gen X and only one-in-three (33%) of those aged 60-75 years old. The most common reason to use the technology is for personal purposes (75%), followed by work (42%) and education (36%). The reasons for using GenAI are consistent with those reported in 2024, although there was a 12% increase in people using it to look up information (44% vs 56%). Searching for information, writing and editing emails, and generating ideas are the top three reasons GenAI is used. Since 2023, a consistent number of GenAI users (more than one-third) believe AI always produces factually accurate responses – 35% in 2023, 34% in 2024, and 34% in 2025. This is similar to the number of users who believe the technology's responses are unbiased – 31% in 2023, 28% in 2024, and 32% in 2025. 64% actively use AI tools. In contrast, 4 in 5 passively engage with GenAI, including web search summaries or AI-generated content on social media. Nearly two-thirds (62%) have noticed AI-generated web search summary and 64% AI-generated content on social media. 40% come across AI-generated news articles written by AI. Daily and weekly use of GenAI is nearly doubling year-on-year, while non-usage consistently drops. Daily Weekly Not used GenAI 2025 11% 21% 37% 2024 5% 13% 53% 2023 2% 7% 66% Colm McDonnell, Head of Technology, Media and Telecommunications in Deloitte Ireland, added: "Our Deloitte survey reveals a fascinating trend of young professionals leading the charge in adopting AI, highlighting the need for tailored training that speaks to different generations and skill levels. "While concerns around privacy and data security are valid, one way to manage these risks is by promoting the use of company-approved AI tools. With nearly two-thirds of respondents already using free or personally paid for AI platforms, its...

Description:  We're bringing you back to an episode from early 2024, co-hosted by Laura Flanders and Scot Nakagawa, because the forces they examined then are not behind us. They are very much with us now.Political violence in the United States didn't peak on January 6th. It metastasized. From threats against election workers and school board members, to attacks fueled by conspiracy, grievance, and organized extremism, the impact of violent political action continues to ripple through our communities — shaping who feels safe, who participates, and whose voices are pushed out of public life.In this conversation, Laura and Scot convene organizers, researchers, and frontline leaders to define what political violence really is — not just spectacular acts, but sustained intimidation — and to ask how democracy survives when fear becomes a political tool.You'll hear from guests who have lived this reality, studied it, and resisted it — voices reminding us that while violence is meant to isolate and silence, community remains one of the strongest counterforces we have.As the current political climate continues to normalize threats and reward extremism, this episode feels less like history — and more like a guidepost.   “As a child of a [Black] Panther, I saw inspiration in every action. Even when I saw my mother's friends being jailed for long periods of time or even killed by police terror . . . A lot of those folks went on to continue fighting against terror of the state and building community. I wanted to be a part of that . . .” - Sala Cyril“Violence has greatly limited our ability to function as an inclusive, robust, multiracial democracy that in fact, we must deal with it . . . We need to believe we can win, and we need to think about who it is that we need on our side  . . .” - Scot Nakagawa“I can report anecdotally through different interactions with conservatives that they are experiencing political violence. I've been in attendance with secretaries of state, former Lieutenant governors. They all have stories of themselves or their families being on the receiving end of political violence . . .” - Maria J.

But Jonathan had taken a great liking to David 2 and warned him, “My father Saul is looking for a chance to kill you. Be on your guard tomorrow morning; go into hiding and stay there. 3 I will go out and stand with my father in the field where you are. I'll speak to him about you and will tell you what I find out.”4 Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father and said to him, “Let not the king do wrong to his servant David; he has not wronged you, and what he has done has benefited you greatly. 5 He took his life in his hands when he killed the Philistine. The Lord won a great victory for all Israel, and you saw it and were glad. Why then would you do wrong to an innocent man like David by killing him for no reason?”6 Saul listened to Jonathan and took this oath: “As surely as the Lord lives, David will not be put to death.”

The Democratic Convention: Forty-Four Ballots and the Two-Thirds Rule — David Pietrusza — The July 1920 Democratic National Convention required 44 grueling ballots to achieve nomination, constrained by the restrictive two-thirds supermajority rule. President Wilson, pursuing an unprecedented third term, was effectively excluded from consideration due to his unpopularity and obstinate refusal to negotiate on League ratification. Ohio Governor James Cox, a moderate "wet" candidate, ultimately secured the nomination over William McAdoo. Franklin D. Roosevelt was selected as running mate, selected primarily for his prestigious surname and substantial support from New Yorkdelegates. 1918 TR

The list includes Belgium, Cyprus, Spain, Ireland, Poland, Romania, Sweden, Slovenia, Slovakia, Portugal, Malta, France and Luxembourg. Costa didn't directly call for other countries to follow, but his tone made clear he viewed this as a positive development, without him necessarily pointing that out. Still, the EU remains deeply divided over its reaction to the Gaza war.

A total of 62% of top Irish companies have adopted AI technologies to support their operations, according to new Deloitte research produced in collaboration with UCD Michael Smurfit Graduate Business School. Adoption is advancing fastest in technology-driven sectors, with 94% of technology, media and telecommunications (TMT) businesses surveyed saying that they use AI. The finding is included in a survey of 115 indigenous, private limited businesses participating in Ireland's Best Managed Companies programme. The top use cases for AI include employee support and internal productivity (28%), operational efficiency and automation (22%), and sales/marketing and customer engagement (15%). Separately, operational process improvements (55%) are the leading innovation priority across companies surveyed. One in three companies (33%) listed the cost of doing business as a top challenge and key strategic focus. This is particularly high in specific industries and sectors, with 41% of family businesses and 51% of companies in the consumer industry citing it as their foremost challenge. Talent acquisition and retention remain high on the agenda, with 23% of companies naming it as a key challenge, and the leading barrier to growth at 28%. When asked about their talent retention strategies, 95% of companies surveyed said they were prioritising the improvement of engagement between employees and management, 78% said they were increasing investment in professional development, while 72% are introducing wellbeing programmes, and 66% are increasing staff compensation. Geopolitical and regulatory challenges were also a significant barrier to growth and a priority area for respondents, with one in four companies (25%) closely monitoring policy changes and trading dynamics. Among the companies in the cohort, 57% of companies report that women make up at least 20% of their C-suite, while 16% have achieved gender balance with 50% or more female representation at this level. However, these figures tend to be lower in STEM-focused sectors. Developing new products and services emerged as the foremost growth strategy, with nearly two-thirds (65%) of companies indicating it will play a key role in their growth plans over the next five years. A total of 55% of respondents expect to grow their business through mergers and acquisitions (M&A), while international expansion and increasing headcount were each cited by 52% of companies. Only 9% of businesses said they would use third-party debt for growth. Over three-quarters (76%) of TMT companies cite M&A as a key growth strategy, and 71% are allocating resources to international expansion to accelerate growth and capture new market opportunities. Private equity-backed businesses are also prioritising international growth, with 57% of PE-backed companies identifying overseas expansion as a strategic focus. Brian Murphy, Lead Partner for Ireland's Best Managed Companies Awards Programme, said: "Rising costs continue to challenge businesses across the board, but Ireland's Best Managed Companies are powering through with remarkable resilience, unstoppable ambition, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. "Innovation is a key theme, and across every industry, launching new products and services is the top growth strategy for the next five years. These companies are not just talking the talk; they're walking the walk, with 62% already harnessing the power of AI to enhance productivity. "Talent acquisition and retention remain tough battles, but the Best Managed Companies are winning by putting their people first; focusing on employee engagement and investing heavily in professional development to boost overall performance. "This survey of Ireland's Best Managed Companies sends a clear message: we must champion our homegrown businesses, fuel their growth, and support their scaling journey to become the next wave of great Irish success stories."

Nat and Kristen call out Instagram's fake perfection and introduce the 'rule of thirds' - turns out you're only meant to feel amazing a third of the time. They break down breakthrough weeks (rare wins), grind weeks (boring but necessary), and heartbreak weeks (when everything goes wrong). Featuring a no-nonsense approach to slumps, why we all quit too early, and how to stop expecting constant amazingness. Basically, if you feel mediocre most of the time, you're going ok!!

Nearly two-thirds of the US blames Trump for rising prices. While sporting what was surely a full diaper, Shitler fired the head of labor statistics. The boot lickers of the FBI redacted the name of our diddler POTUS from the Epstein files. Human cosplayer Todd Blanche struck a deal with child rapist Ghislaine Maxwell sending the molester of children to a country club prison. The fascists of TESLA were ordered by a court to pay 329 million for a deadly accident. Wee televangelist Kenneth Copeland summoned angels to defend the rapist-in-chief. An anti-choice mouth- breather is cool with a civil war over abortion. Just over half of our country believes in evolution.

Questions? Comments?Don and Tom take aim at America's favorite financial myths—starting with the widespread belief that real estate and gold are the best long-term investments. They present nearly 100 years of historical data to show why stocks have far outpaced both. The conversation also tackles misleading annuity pitches, a classic pension lump sum dilemma, and the age-old question facing 20-somethings: save for a house or retirement? Callers bring smart questions about guaranteed annuities, where to park surplus cash, and the VT vs. VTI+VXUS tax argument.

Figures obtained by Checkpoint show just 3.3 out of full-time equivalent senior doctor positions in the town are filled. Jimmy Ellingham reports.
