主播:Meimei(中国)+ Maelle(法国) 音乐:Zoo今天我们要聊的是最近爆火的一部电影——《疯狂动物城2》。01. Zootopia 2 is Back! 《疯狂动物城2》强势回归新闻媒体ABC News报道:'Zootopia 2' roars to record-setting global box office with $556M opening《疯狂动物城》以5.56亿美元的首映票房创下全球票房纪录Roar /rɔ:r/ v. 吼叫��这里为什么用roar这个单词呢?用roar这个单词是为了展现这次票房的气势,it's really fitting the theme (契合主题) of an animal centered movie (以动物为中心的电影). 同时也有一种宣告Zootopia回归的意味。据说这部电影在中国的票房已经突破了27亿人民币,成为今年中国票房最高的外国动画电影!It's been 9 years since the first Zootopia movie, and fans have been waiting. 《疯狂动物城2》的风格和第一部不太一样。人们讨论更多的是the new characters (新角色) and the dynamics (火花) between them.主角Judy和Nick的partnership(搭档关系)也比想象中的更复杂了,而且Gary the snake is definitely a brand new character (崭新的角色)。他还是迪士尼历史上第一个以蛇为原型的主人公(first snake in the Disney history)。02. Why is Zootopia So Popular? 《疯狂动物城》为什么这么受欢迎?这部电影不仅好玩有趣,还有着非常巧妙的构思,更重要的是它真的传递了非常真挚的情感(full of heart)。Zootopia=zoo+utopiaZoo代表(stand for)“所有的动物”。Utopia(乌托邦)对所有动物来说是“一个理想的世界(an ideal world)”。所以zootopia其实就是“动物世界的乌托邦”。但在外网,这部电影有一个新的名字:Zootropolis。They switched (转换) the utopia to metropolis.Metropolis /məˈtrɑ:pəlɪs/ n. 大都市Zootropolis这样的动物都市好像是将Judy和Nick从理想的乌托邦世界里带出来,zootropolis里充满了更多复杂的挑战和矛盾。他们为the reptiles(爬行动物)扩大了版图(expand territories),and they also add a new character: a snake named Gary De'Snake! 爬行动物居住的Swamp Market(湿地区域)也是本次的看点,而且电影里也有哺乳动物和爬行动物(mammals and reptiles)之间新的文化冲突。这展示出了电影延续的social metaphor(社会写照)。第一部电影反映了predator(捕食者)和prey(猎物)间的现实张力(real-life stereotypes)。第二部则聚焦于inclusion (包容) and trust between very different species (不同物种).同时,Judy和Nick自身的不同也被放大了。电影让很多人看到Judy和Nick在性格和价值观上的矛盾(conflicts and friction)are very raw yet real (非常赤裸裸又很真实)。Raw /rɔ:/ adj. (食物)生的,未经加工的在这里用raw形容Judy和Nick之间矛盾的“赤裸裸”,让冲突更为生动。03. Fun Details in the Movie 电影中的有趣细节这次在电影里也有一些特别有趣的梗,it's very classic Disney. They use other movie references (参考) and quoted (引用) on something. 同时还有很多迪士尼电影的精彩联动,像Tangled(《魔发奇缘》)还有Ratatouille(《料理鼠王》)。例如疯狂飙车的闪电树懒就很经典(classic),hundred mile dash(百英里冲刺)和他慢吞吞的动作就很有反差萌。除了经典的闪电树懒之外,Nick本身就非常witty(风趣、诙谐的),而且他自己的last name (姓) Wilde也是“充满野性的”——wild的谐音梗。这部电影还藏了好多宝藏小彩蛋(many gems hidden)等我们去发现。这次《疯狂动物城2》的成功,是“机智玩梗+ 细腻情感 + 致敬经典”的完美结合。It's a great reminder (提示) that stories still matter especially when they combine heart, humor, and some truth as well.��两位主播最喜欢的character是谁呢?For Maelle:She loves Judy. 她认为Judy is hopeful, brave, and curious. For Meimei:She loves Nick. 因为她觉得Nick虽然表面油滑,但其实内心温暖,很真实。欢迎大家在评论区留言:What do you think of Zootopia 2 or which character do you love the most?你认为《疯狂动物城2》怎么样呢?你最喜欢的动物角色是哪一位呢?

In this Wednesday Night Live on 3 December 2025, philosopher Stefan Molyneux delves into the Mouse Utopia Experiment, or Universe 25, conducted by John B. Calhoun, exploring its implications on societal behaviors and psychological breakdowns. We examine the setup and outcomes of this study, where unlimited resources led to self-destructive behaviors among a mouse population. The discussion highlights the relationship between environment and mental health, urging caution in making direct comparisons to human society. We address the criticisms of Calhoun's methodology, the ethical concerns of using animals in experiments, and the relevance of these findings to contemporary issues like urban overcrowding and social isolation. The conversation encourages listeners to reflect on the necessity of promoting human excellence and combating isolation within our communities to avoid the pitfalls illustrated by the experiment.SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

„Es ist total simpel.“ So bringt Paul Baumann das Thema auf den Punkt. Simpel und gleichzeitig radikal unterschätzt. Pflanzen sind für ihn kein Beiwerk, keine grüne Folklore, sondern ein gesellschaftlicher Werttreiber für Gesundheit, Städtebau, Ökonomie und für unser Verhältnis zur Natur. Mit URBAN UTOPIA hat er ein Format geschaffen, das Menschen mit einem zentralen Gedanken konfrontiert: Pflanzen sind lebendige Wesen. Wir sprechen über den „gezähmten“ Naturbegriff, über Wildkraut, das in meiner Welt Unkraut ist, über organisiertes Chaos, Permakultur, über Gebäude, die zu Dschungeln werden sollen, und die Frage, warum in Singapore Begrünung ein Marketinginstrument ist, während sie in Deutschland als Kostenfrage verhandelt wird. Es geht um den Hamburger Bunker, natürlich um den Bosco Verticale, um resiliente Pflanzen und den Begriff Greenification. Paul erzählt von seinem Gespräch mit Architektin Schirin Taraz-Breinholt von WOHA, von den Erkenntnissen von Marco Schmidt vom Institut für Landschaftsarchitektur und Umweltplanung an der TU Berlin zu den Kosten und von der Idee, die Tilia Awards 2026 zu verleihen.

pWotD Episode 3133: Tom Stoppard Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 240,997 views on Saturday, 29 November 2025 our article of the day is Tom Stoppard.Sir Tom Stoppard (born Tomáš Sträussler, 3 July 1937 – 29 November 2025) was a Czech and English playwright and screenwriter. He wrote for film, radio, stage, and television, finding prominence with plays. His work covered the themes of human rights, censorship, and political freedom, often delving into the deeper philosophical bases of society. Stoppard was a playwright of the National Theatre; one of the most internationally performed dramatists of his generation; and critically compared with William Shakespeare and George Bernard Shaw. He was knighted for his contribution to theatre by Queen Elizabeth II in 1997 and awarded the Order of Merit in 2000. Born in Czechoslovakia, Stoppard left as a Jewish child refugee, fleeing imminent Nazi occupation. He settled with his family in England after the war, in 1946, having spent the previous three years (1943–1946) in a boarding school in Darjeeling in the Indian Himalayas. After being educated at schools in Nottingham and Yorkshire, Stoppard became a journalist, a drama critic and then, in 1960, a playwright.Stoppard's most prominent plays include Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (1966), Jumpers (1972), Travesties (1974), Night and Day (1978), The Real Thing (1982), Arcadia (1993), The Invention of Love (1997), The Coast of Utopia (2002), Rock 'n' Roll (2006) and Leopoldstadt (2020). He wrote the screenplays for Brazil (1985), Empire of the Sun (1987), The Russia House (1990), Billy Bathgate (1991), Shakespeare in Love (1998), Enigma (2001), and Anna Karenina (2012), as well as the BBC/HBO limited series Parade's End (2013). He directed the film Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (1990), adapting his own 1966 play as its screenplay, with Gary Oldman and Tim Roth as the leads.Stoppard received numerous awards and honours including an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for Shakespeare In Love, three Laurence Olivier Awards, and five Tony Awards. In 2008, The Daily Telegraph ranked him number 11 in their list of the "100 most powerful people in British culture". It was announced in June 2019 that Stoppard had written a new play, Leopoldstadt, set in the Jewish community of early 20th-century Vienna. The play premiered in January 2020 at Wyndham's Theatre. The play went on to win the Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Play and later the 2023 Tony Award for Best Play.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 03:05 UTC on Sunday, 30 November 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Tom Stoppard on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Ruth.

This conversation delves into the intricate connections between Star Trek, mythology, and the influence of Gene Roddenberry's experiences with the supernatural. It explores how the series reflects ancient narratives and modern societal issues, while also examining the role of the Nine, a pantheon of intelligences that may have inspired the show's themes. The discussion further touches on the implications of UFO phenomena, fringe Christian perspectives, and the utopian vision presented in Star Trek, culminating in a reflection on the prime directive as a modern reinterpretation of divine order. In this conversation, the speakers explore the themes of Star Trek as a reflection of human society, mythology, and the implications of advanced technology. They discuss the Prime Directive, predictive programming, and the portrayal of space exploration as a hopeful future. The conversation delves into covert operations represented by Section 31, the role of the Vulcans as ancient aliens, and the public's perception of alien disclosure. Additionally, they examine the dangers of transhumanism, eugenics, and the societal narratives surrounding overpopulation.Daniel X:@FRN_Daniel_XEmail: ministryx@protonmail.com

Madureira, na zona norte do Rio de Janeiro, sediou a Flup 2025 como centro simbólico da diáspora negra, palco de literatura e resistência. A curadora do festival, Mame-Fatou Niang, evocou a urgência de “reencantar o mundo” mesmo diante do massacre causado pela operação policial que antecedeu o evento, enquanto Anne Louyot, responsável pela temporada cultural francesa no Brasil, lembrou que “o Brasil não conhecia essa parte das culturas francesas” e celebrou o legado dos encontros. Márcia Bechara, enviada especial da RFI ao Rio de Janeiro No último fim de semana de programação, a curadora da Flup2025, Mame-Fatou Niang, trouxe uma reflexão que marcou o festival. Ela lembrou a cena de corpos estendidos depois da operação policial no Complexo do Alemão, no Rio de Janeiro, vistos de cima por um drone, e a "suspensão daquele instante".  "Eu vejo exatamente a cena: aquele drone passando por cima de um objeto difícil de identificar, uma linha muito longa. Eu me lembro de ter visto algo que parecia um tapete se desenrolando. E quando o drone se aproxima, eu percebo que cada ‘desenho' daquele tapete era, na verdade, um corpo deitado, colocado entre outros de forma intercalada”, rememorou à RFI.  A curadora se perguntou sobre o sentido de propor o reencantamento diante da tragédia, mas não hesitou em manter o tema de 2025: Ideias para reencantar o mundo.  “Eu não hesitei. Nós não hesitamos. Ficamos em suspensão… Eu sei que prendi a respiração e me fiz imediatamente uma pergunta: o que significa querer reencantar o mundo estando a menos de dois quilômetros do lugar onde esses corpos estão? O que significa, para uma mãe que perdeu um filho dessa maneira, ouvir que é possível reencantar o mundo? Estar dentro de um ônibus, olhar pela janela e ver nossos cartazes falando sobre ideias que querem reencantar o mundo?” A reposta, segundo ela, foi multiplicar a vontade de afirmar a vida. "Se isso teve algum efeito em mim, foi o de multiplicar minha vontade de fazer, e de afirmar que, apesar de tudo isso, a vida continua.” Niang recordou ainda as crianças presentes na cena: "havia dezenas de crianças, crianças muito pequenas, ao redor daqueles corpos. Eu me lembro de duas coisas: as moscas sobre os corpos e aquelas crianças tão pequenas", disse. Leia tambémFlup celebra diáspora negra e traz literatura como 'aquilombamento' para 'reencantar' o debate decolonial "Então pensei: nós temos objetos, temos uma proposta visual, uma comunicação muito doce, muito pop, muito rosa… E eu queria que as crianças fossem atraídas para dentro do ônibus, que não pensassem nas moscas sobre os corpos, mas que olhassem os peixes, os búzios, as flores. E que, mesmo sem saber ler, fossem atraídas por aquelas formas. Talvez perguntassem para a mãe: ‘O que está escrito aqui?' E que a mãe respondesse: ‘Ah, tem um ou dois loucos que acham que podem encantar o mundo.'”, avaliou. Para ela, a Flup é um "quilombo de utopistas": "Utopia não é aquilo que não pode ser realizado — é aquilo que ainda não foi realizado.” Niang destacou as conexões já existentes entre Senegal e Brasil, entre outras diásporas negras.  Leia também'Brasil é acontecimento antropológico': autor premiado da experiência pós-colonial lança 4 obras na Flup “Não se trata exatamente de criar pontes. Não é isso. É revelar as pontes que já existem. Elas já estão aqui. Ontem mesmo eu estava assistindo a uma roda de tambor. Minha família vem do Senegal. As pessoas aqui do bairro, em Madureira, me lembram profundamente de onde eu venho. Eu reconheci todos os gestos da minha avó. Essas coisas permanecem nas palavras, na língua, na comida, na dança, na forma de se mover, no corpo. Então, para nós, a ideia não é inventar nada novo, mas reacender essas conexões, mostrar os caminhos, os desvios, as surpresas, enxergar como essas práticas foram se transformando aqui. A gente não precisa criar nada — tudo já existe", destacou. Diversidade No encerramento, a curadora da temporada cultural francesa no Brasil, a curadora, Anne Louyot, reforçou a importância da Flup como espaço de revelação da diversidade. “Acho que o Brasil não conhece essa parte das culturas francesas, essa parte negra, afrodescendente. E a Flup é o evento ideal para mostrar ao público brasileiro que nós também temos essa diversidade cultural e racial.” Leia tambémConceição Evaristo evoca heroísmo das mulheres negras e direito inalienável da literatura na Flup “O legado é que todos esses encontros possam seguir, que vão finalmente escapar do nosso domínio e vão continuar. Eu já sei que várias pessoas que se encontraram durante a temporada já estão pensando na etapa seguinte. O legado é que esse encontro siga no nível da diversidade das duas sociedades”, ressaltou. A Flup 2025 se despede neste domingo (30) com um show gratuito do Olodum no Viaduto de Madureira — território que reafirma sua vocação como reduto da resistência da cultura negra carioca.

Adorno and the Ban on Images (Bloomsbury, 2022) upends some of the myths that have come to surround the work of the philosopher Theodor W. Adorno – not least amongst them, his supposed fatalism. Sebastian Truskolaski argues that Adorno's writings allow us to address what is arguably the central challenge of modern philosophy: how to picture a world beyond suffering and injustice without, at the same time, betraying its vital impulse. By re-appraising Adorno's writings on politics, philosophy, and art, this book reconstructs this notoriously difficult author's overall project from a radically new perspective (Adorno's famous 'standpoint of redemption'), and brings his central concerns to bear on the problems of today. On the one hand, this means reading Adorno alongside his principal interlocutors (including Kant, Marx and Benjamin). On the other hand, it means asking how his secular brand of social criticism can serve to safeguard the image of a better world – above all, when the invocation of this image occurs alongside Adorno's recurrent reference to the Old Testament ban on making images of God. By reading Adorno in this iconoclastic way, Adorno and the Ban on Images contributes to current debates about Utopia that have come to define political visions across the political spectrum. Lukas Hoffman is a Doctoral Candidate at the Carolina-Duke Graduate Program in German Studies and is currently supported by a DAAD research grant as a Visiting Scholar at the Humboldt University in Berlin. He is currently working on a book manuscript that examines how the persistence of religious imagery in German modernist lyric reimagines the ways in which traditional, religious attitudes overlap with revolutionary political thought. Recently, he has published an article in Monatshefte, titled “Love of Things: Reconsidering Adorno's Criticism of Rilke” (Summer 2022) and has a forthcoming article in New German Critique, titled “Abject Eve: A Revolutionary Reading of Lasker-Schüler's ‘Erkenntnis.'” Learn more about your ad choices.

Sebastian Truskolaski, "Adorno and the Ban on Images" (Bloomsbury, 2022)

Adorno and the Ban on Images (Bloomsbury, 2022) upends some of the myths that have come to surround the work of the philosopher Theodor W. Adorno – not least amongst them, his supposed fatalism. Sebastian Truskolaski argues that Adorno's writings allow us to address what is arguably the central challenge of modern philosophy: how to picture a world beyond suffering and injustice without, at the same time, betraying its vital impulse. By re-appraising Adorno's writings on politics, philosophy, and art, this book reconstructs this notoriously difficult author's overall project from a radically new perspective (Adorno's famous 'standpoint of redemption'), and brings his central concerns to bear on the problems of today. On the one hand, this means reading Adorno alongside his principal interlocutors (including Kant, Marx and Benjamin). On the other hand, it means asking how his secular brand of social criticism can serve to safeguard the image of a better world – above all, when the invocation of this image occurs alongside Adorno's recurrent reference to the Old Testament ban on making images of God. By reading Adorno in this iconoclastic way, Adorno and the Ban on Images contributes to current debates about Utopia that have come to define political visions across the political spectrum.

Vince Gilligan's new show, “Pluribus,” opens with an unconventional apocalypse. A benevolent alien hive mind descends on Earth, commandeering the bodies of all but a handful of people who appear to be immune, including a curmudgeonly writer named Carol Sturka. Though the world that the “joined” are building seems ideal—no more crime, efficient resource distribution, an end to discrimination—it doesn't leave much room for Carol's messy humanity. Is it worth it? On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz discuss “Pluribus” and other perfect societies imagined and enacted by artists and thinkers, from Thomas More's 1516 satire, “Utopia,” to the Shaker movement and beyond. They reflect on why these experiments have rarely held up to scrutiny or benefitted more than a select few, and why we keep coming back to them anyway. “I'm not the most optimistic person,” Fry says. “But if you're stuck in pessimistic, dystopic thinking, are you foreclosing on greater promise or greater potential of imagination?” Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Pluribus” (2025–)“Breaking Bad” (2008-13)“Better Call Saul” (2015-22)“The X-Files” (1993-2002)“The Giver,” by Lois Lowry“Utopia,” by Thomas More“Les Guérillères,” by Monique Wittig “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” (1977)“The Testament of Ann Lee” (2025)“The Hunger Games,” by Suzanne Collins“Utopia for Realists,” by Rutger Bregman“Ragtime” (1996)New episodes drop every Thursday.

New pod and a *NEW BOOK* out today!  Kevin sits down with Daniel Ospina and Daniel Stringer from RnDAO to introduce their new book:The Network Firm: How Capital Allocation Changes in the Age of Blockchain and AI. They explore how the traditional theory of the firm is being transformed by lower coordination costs, AI-driven cognition, and blockchain-powered trust enabling a new era of open, fluid, network-native organizations. Together they break down how legacy bureaucratic structures dissolve when work becomes legible, global, and composable and why the next century of coordination will be shaped by networks, not firms.

In Rutger Bregman's first book, Utopia for Realists, the historian describes a rosy vision of the future – one with 15-hour work weeks, universal basic income and massive wealth redistribution.It's a vision that, in the age of artificial intelligence, now seems increasingly possible.But utopia is far from guaranteed. Many experts predict that AI will also lead to mass job loss, the development of new bioweapons and, potentially, the extinction of our species.So if you're building a technology that could either save the world or destroy it – is that a moral pursuit?These kinds of thorny questions are at the heart of Bregman's latest book, Moral Ambition. In a sweeping conversation that takes us from the invention of the birth control pill to the British Abolitionist movement, Bregman and I discuss what a good life looks like (spoiler: he thinks the death of work might not be such a bad thing) – and whether AI can help get us there.Mentioned: Moral Ambition, by Rutger BregmanUtopia for Realists, by Rutger Bregman If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies: The Case Against Superintelligent AI, by Eliezer Yudkowsky and Nate SoaresMachines Like Us is produced by Mitchell Stuart.

Matt Colwell or 360 is one of Australia's most iconic and beloved rappers. 360 erupted onto the scene in the early 2000s, taking home multiple ARIA Award nominations and two wins along the way. Peaking at #4 on the ARIA Albums Chart, Falling & Flying went on to become certified double platinum, and also secured wins at the 2012 ARIA Music Awards for Breakthrough Artist – Release and Producer of the Year. From here, 360 released 2014's Utopia, 2017's Vintage Modern and, most recently, his latest record Out of the Blue, which dropped earlier this year. Debuting at #1 on the ARIA Australian Hip-Hop Albums Chart, Out of the Blue offered a resounding reminder of 360's dexterity, dynamic flow and storytelling alongside magnetic new cuts Chasing Ghosts, Save My Soul and No Place To Go. With his trademark electrifying stage presence that has seen him enrapture sold out headline crowds, captivate alongside the likes of Eminem and Kendrick Lamar, or dazzle onstage at Lollapalooza, Big Day Out and Splendour In The Grass, 360 remains one of the country's most in demand acts and musical exports, with his most recent Out Of The Blue capital city tour entirely sold out; and, as 360 reveals, his passion for live performances has not waned despite a lack of down time between his many performances. He is set to take it BACK N FORTH across regional Australia in 2026, with an extensive run kicking off in February 2026. Tickets are now on sale! Check it out, links below. We chat about going to rehab, his new tour, performing, nerves and rap battles, new definition of success, fame, life coaches, his 8 year hiatus, approval, people pleasing and trusting your gut + plenty more!

In this week's episode, Erica is joined by special guest Shelby Knopp, owner of Wishes & Co. Travel Planning, as they relive our unforgettable September sailing aboard Utopia Of The Seas, our very first FAM trip as an agency! From exploring one of the newest Royal Caribbean ships to the behind-the-scenes fun of traveling with fellow agents, we share the highlights, laughs, and lessons learned along the way. But it's not all smooth sailing in this episode. The travel industry was hit with a major bombshell recently, and Erica and Shelby are discussing the drama (without talking about Bruno), what travelers and agents alike can learn from it, and the red flags everyone should watch for when choosing a travel agency. Grab your coffee (or your cruise cocktail) and get ready for a mix of FAM trip fun, real talk, and a little industry tea.If you're loving the show, we'd be so thankful if you could leave us a review! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️IG: @OnceUponAParkPodcastErica IG: @TravelPlannerEricaJonny IG: @Darth.MouseEmail Us: OnceUponAParkPodcast@gmail.comReady to plan your next adventure?

This month we return to the works of Rosabeth Moss Kanter, whose works on tokenism we explored way back in Episode 17. This time, we will discuss one of her better known books Commitment and Community: Commune and Utopias in Sociological Perspective that examines the origins and life cycle of numerous communes that sprang up in the US from the mid-19th century to the 1960s. Written based on her dissertation study at a time when hippie communes were popular, she wondered what drove people to start or join these communes and what factors enabled the communes' survival. This week's Part 1 is about her conceptual framework and study, and next week's Part 2 will focus on the conclusions and implications for social movements today.

Would a utopia be possible? Or does our innate tribalism and jealousy make perfect societies difficult to achieve? Do we secretly love hierarchies? Why are primate brains such excellent detectors of unfairness? Why do things become more desirable when we’re told we can’t have them? Did the church’s disavowal of first-cousin marriage lead to better politics? This week Eagleman talks with psychologist Paul Bloom about the (im)possibility of achieving societal utopias.

Assessing The Israeli Ceasefire First up, an interview with Abdaljawad Omar, a writer, analyst and an Assistant Professor at Birzeit University in Bethlehem in the West Bank in Palestine. For the hour we speak about the status of the ceasefire, the continued killing by the Israeli state and the lack of significant humanitarian supplies of food and medicine in Gaza, ongoing violence in the West Bank and settlement expansion and settler impunity, representation of Palestinian resistance in Western media and meaningful solidarity from abroad.

Free Thinking Through the Fourth Turning with Sasha Stone

For a brief moment in time, the Democrats were humiliated in defeat. November of 2024 was the body blow necessary to end the war on Trump. They lost. Trump won, and that was that.They never absorbed that loss, however, except in the way that it made them meaner, angrier, and more willing to blow through norms and abandon what remained of their humanity to chase victory by any means necessary. That would include spending hundreds of millions on Prop 50. It would include celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk and fantasizing about Trump's imminent death.It would be about sacrificing being “good people doing good things” to “stop fascism.” And somewhere in there, they took a dark turn. I watched it. I wrote about it. I warned about it. I could see it in their attacks on Tesla and their destruction of Elon Musk in an attempt to kill him and his business.I could see them at the No Kings rally, angry and motivated. Their desperation to find a Joe Rogan or compete with the memes on the Right failing at every turn. They looked to me like the monster in The Thing that could imitate but could never be what they thought won Trump the election.Their men are attempting to appear more masculine. Gavin Newsom and JB Pritzker have no problem fomenting insurrection against the government, and the newly elected Mayor of New York just taunted Trump to “turn up the volume.”The women bask in it and pretend they're still feminists when all they wanted all along was to be rescued by men, and here we are again. It's funny. But not so funny.To them, all is justified in the name of “saving democracy.” But that's never been what any of this has been about. They are totalitarians at heart, and they are prepared to sacrifice almost everything - friends, families, marriages, whole industries of culture and education - to attain it absolutely.Utopias only have two potential paths. They become totalitarian, like the Soviet Union, like China, or they collapse. What you sacrifice in chasing utopia is personal freedom, art, journalism, comedy, and common ground with those who disagree with you. A totalitarian system wants it all and is prepared to take it if it isn't given willingly.They were already halfway there before Zohran Mamdani became the new leader of the new Left. Matt Taibbi calls this the end of the Democratic Party, and he's right. Totalitarianism will mean giving up even that. It's all for one and one for all, and those who aren't on board will be left behind.Here is Ben Shapiro:For now, they are holding their not-famous, bland, cookie-cutter centrists —like those who won in Virginia and New Jersey —whose names and faces no one remembers, close enough to not scare people away. They're centrists in name only. The new socialist wave will obliterate them, and if they don't realize that yet, they soon will.This came through my mail, even though I was never put on any list, and I have no idea how it arrived after five years of trying to leave the Democratic Party.Does the Right have anything like that? Are they in any way prepared to go up against people this fired up? No. They aren't. They have Scott Pressler, and they had Charlie Kirk, and everyone else seems to be invested in building their platforms for clicks and views, not for votes. MAGA is on the ropes.The heart of a totalitarian is that all things are necessary to achieve the singular goal of absolute power and dominance for the cause. The cause is usually a Marxist-like government system, but it doesn't have to be. It can be fascist, too. But even that has its roots in socialism because in totalitarianism, there is no power for the individual against the state.Over at the Free Press, Olivia Reingold looked deeper into the DSA:…The Free Press reviewed thousands of pages of internal Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) documents, which show that the organization's leaders view Mamdani as a tool in their agenda to abolish prisons and borders, and ultimately end in what they call the “barbaric order of capitalism.” The DSA, founded in 1982, is a political body dedicated to the doctrine of democratic socialism, which is a variety of socialism that simply specifies how it would like revolution to occur: peacefully, through the subversion of democracy. Mamdani, a dues-paying DSA member since 2017, is the tip of that spear.The Democrat machine cultivated “cancel culture” and used it as a method of societal control. No one would dare say anything that would get them banished from Utopia, except those of us who did and were. That form of policing was straight out of the Cultural Revolution, or Stalin's Komsomol or Hitler's Youth.In our bubble of the Left, we required no military because the system we built made it possible to destroy people with a single accusation. Over time, our hearts and minds had to be captured or suppressed. If you could not go along with it, and I couldn't, you were out.For a society that had migrated to the virtual frontier, that didn't mean you were sent to a gulag or killed, but it did mean you could lose everything and have to rebuild. Not the end of the world, but still, imagine a system like that attaining absolute power because MAGA dropped the ball?That totalitarian practice of punishing thought crimes and dissent spread to government when Joe Biden took power, which is why they censored the internet with impunity and would have continued to do it had the richest man in the world not bought Twitter and freed speech, which allowed for a counter movement to rise and win.Joe Biden and his administration, along with the Democrats, thought nothing of indicting Trump on weak charges, raiding Mar-a-Lago to paint him as a criminal. Their dehumanization and rage for him knew no bounds. They wanted him in jail. They wanted him off the ballot. They wanted him out of their government, their culture, and their country. They wanted him dead. And still do.Jay Jones' texts fantasizing about the death of Republicans and their children are not an exception. It's the rule. They openly talk about “when it happens” to Trump and plan to celebrate that day with playlists and dancing in the street. That is where they were mentally before this November 4th, and their blue wave revived the movement. Now, they are winning.You'd think, given that, they would ease up on the ugliness, the dehumanization, and the hate. Think again. These aren't people who want to share this country or even share the same restaurant as Trump and MAGA. You can't lie about a whole group of people like they have, calling them Nazis and racists and bigots, and not have it end as easily as one election. This is, to them, war.Mamdani's speech proved it. It was masks off, and here comes the revolution, and the enemies are the rich, the Capitalists, and the free thinkers. You think cancel culture was bad? Just you wait until they have control of AI, YouTube, Facebook, and all social media platforms, not to mention all of Hollywood, book publishing, universal preschool, and the universities.And what happens when the money runs out? Even now, Mamdani needs money, and he's asking for it to help pay for his transition team. Get used to it, rich people. You are the ones who will fund this production.The policies matter less than their total control of the country they believe belongs to them. But the one person they can't control is Donald Trump, and that's how he's gotten the better of them again and again. They believe this time, they finally got him. They think the time has come to declare victory. I wouldn't be so sure.When you control the corporate press, the universities, the public schools, the culture, you can create any reality you want. That's a totalitarian paradise, and why they've constructed it that way. A Trump win was never in the plan. It took them a while to find just the right narrative to preserve utopia, which was in a state of collapse.All it took was for Trump to focus on tariffs and not the economy, to celebrate a lavish Halloween ball amid a government shutdown, and most of all for voters to get a taste of Republicans ripping away SNAP benefits and rising healthcare costs. So they shut down the government to manufacture a crisis because, of course, they did. It was Defcon 1.Victor Davis Hanson on Emily Jashinsky's After PartyThat handed the Democrats their oppression cosplay, lining up the shot perfectly. How did the GOP not see this coming? They became arrogant and too comfortable with the idea that the Democratic Party had imploded. The only reason they imploded is that they didn't have the right script. Now, they do.The forces at play to destroy MAGA are everywhere. Do you think totalitarians play around? They do not. Now that Tyler Robinson conveniently assassinated Charlie Kirk, the vultures have flown in, and there is division everywhere.Nick Fuentes, boosted by the New York Times, will become the face of MAGA over the next few years. Excusing him, excusing those who interview him, or apologizing for him is a gift handed to the Left on a silver platter like the Epstein Files. Don't say I didn't warn you.The more people try to censor someone like Fuentes, however, the more energy and popularity he will attain. Anger among the public, especially the young, will find its way out and land somewhere. It will be sucked up by the totalitarians on the Left, or the identity-obsessed faction of the Right.Vivek Ramaswamy:Fuentes is popular, and no amount of scolding will change that. Shutting people up will never be the answer, and it won't work anyway in the age of influencers, clicks, and views. Brett Cooper and others will want a piece of that audience. And so they will placate, they will lean in, and they will excuse.But a Fuentes Right plays like a Reichstag Fire for the totalitarians. MAGA will not survive unless they have some beacons of morality, of true virtue, like Charlie Kirk, guiding them.As Konstantin Kisin points out:There is no saving the totalitarians. They already thought Charlie Kirk was as bad. Even now, none of them felt his assassination in any way. They did not tone anything down. They justified their celebrations and are determined to smear his legacy in death. They would watch and laugh if hundreds of Trump supporters were lined up and shot.Totalitarians want all of you. They want your mind, your heart, your devotion, your loyalty, your past, your present, and your future. They want it all, and they will take it all. And if you aren't on board, out you go. The only hope we have is a sane and common-sense alternative, which we have in Donald Trump. Somehow, in this mess, he comes out as the normal one.If Charlie Kirk were here right now, he'd be on the phone with Trump and urging him to address the economic woes that just lost Republicans a landslide election and ask him to say to the people, “I know you're suffering. I hear you. Here is our action plan to bring down costs and boost the economy. Here is our plan for healthcare. Here is why we won't let anyone starve in the richest country in the world.”But Charlie isn't here. Trump is relying on a team of Yes Men who will not pick up the phone and challenge him, like Charlie would have. But someone must.MAGA must have in place right now a mobilized effort to win in 2026, enlisting all influencers who want to help in the effort to beat back the Totalitarians and their massive alignment of power and their army of fired-up zealots.Otherwise, the totalitarians take America back. They'll raise the drawbridge, and that will be that. They will have whole generations in their universal preschool, shaping those minds however they please. Choose your gender, never think for yourself, do as you are told, utopia.If they take control of AI, that's it for free thought in America. None of them realizes it or even thinks about it. The heart of a totalitarian is not to question but to obey.Gen-Z is facing nothing but a depressing future - no home, AI coming to take the jobs, crippling student debt, and a magic man handing them everything they could ever want for free. Except it's not free. It will cost you everything because it will cost you your freedom.It will sound great at first, like those early enthusiastic speeches in Animal Farm. But if and when the money runs out, if and when there isn't enough for everyone, well, then it becomes the stuff of nightmares.America wasn't built for totalitarianism. It was built to be exactly the opposite. Just visit a socialist country, any one of them, and you'll see why. Charlie might be gone, but thousands of others have risen and attempted to fill his shoes, like Benny Johnson announcing this homeownership program for young people:America is always changing, evolving, and recreating itself. People come here to make their dreams come true. A republic, if you can keep it. Godspeed, MAGA. Godspeed.…// This is a public episode.

We introduce our duo—Captain Jesse and the Cruise Coach—and dive right into how to choose the best Florida homeport, from Miami's buzz to Tampa Bay's Skyway views, and why that first decision shapes your itinerary, budget, and onboard rhythm.We unpack the big Caribbean question—East, West, or South—and explain what each route delivers, from Cozumel tacos and Cayman reefs to longer Southern escapes like Aruba. Then we zoom in on the ships themselves: Utopia, Icon, and Star of the Seas redefine “floating city” with aqua theaters, two-tier promenades, solariums, and spa sanctuaries that rival land resorts. You'll hear smart, actionable tips: Boardwalk and Central Park balcony hacks on Oasis-class ships, the best ways to catch the AquaTheater (including from your own balcony), and complimentary breakfast windows that most guests miss.Competition is reshaping the industry for the better.

Between 2008 and 2012 he toured internationally with his band Sound of Rum, launching a solo career with debut album ‘Everybody Down' in 2014. It and second album ‘Let Them Eat Chaos', released in 2015, were both nominated for the Mercury Prize. Kae has since released three further solo albums, including BRIT Award-nominated ‘The Line Is A Curve'. Kae is widely recognised as one of the UK alternative scene's most essential voices, acclaimed for his exceptional lyricism and acute social commentary. Both are particularly evident on his fifth studio album, ‘Self Titled', released earlier this year. ‘Self-Titled' is Kae's first collaboration with multi-award winning UK producer, songwriter and musician Fraser T. Smith. The trio sit down at Fraser's studio, Utopia, where the album was written and recorded, to discuss developing creative harmony working together for the first time, the process of building a song using ProTools, the influence of drum textures and bass sounds on the record, how one creative choice can completely change the direction of a track and much more.
