Sky is blaming a scheduling error for a gambling ad being played instead of Jai Arrow's emotional walkout for his 100th game for the South Sydney Rabbitohs. Arrow announced his retirement from rugby league earlier this year as he battles motor neurone disease, but the NRL approved a special rule change to allow him to reach 100 games for South Sydney. Those in New Zealand hoping to watch the moment he stepped on to the pitch were unable to as Sky Sport cut to a Betcha betting ad for one minute and 20 seconds, returning to live coverage when Arrow was already on the field. Sky New Zealand's head of sport content Gary Burchett told Newstalk ZB's Jason Pine the broadcaster made the wrong decision and apologised. “We knew the significance of Jai's walkout and we knew what that moment was to Jai and his family and his teammates and fans of the NRL and simply, we should have shown that moment in full, live,” Burchett said. “That's the obligation that we have to our customers and to fans of rugby league and I'm also very conscious that for those people and their families who face the daily realities and challenges of motor neurone disease, because that story resonates and goes well beyond the game itself, right? So we let them down too. Sky Sport has apologised for showing a gambling ad during Jai Arrow's walkout for his 100th and final game for the South Sydney Rabbitohs. Photo / Photosport “In terms of what happened, as those who watched would have seen that the Titans and the Dolphins match ran over, which led to the host broadcaster Fox at the time switching to the tunnel of the Rabbitohs and the Roosters and that led to a scheduling error, which meant that an advertisement played out during Jai's walkout. “So, that's the straightforward explanation, not hiding behind it. We missed an incredibly important moment and that simply just was not good enough.” Burchett said a team of people, rather than something automated, chose to play the ad and Sky will review how those decisions are made. A scheduling error has been identified as the reason viewers in New Zealand missed the emotional moment. Photo / Photosport “Commercial commitments are part of broadcasting sport. They help finance our productions, they help Sky to acquire the sports [rights], but they can't exist in isolation from what's actually unfolding because ultimately good sports broadcast requires good judgment,” he said. “Sometimes the most important thing you can do is to stay with the pictures. Own the moment, let that moment breathe and allow the audience to experience it and Jai's walkout was exactly that sort of moment.” When the ad ended, Arrow was already on the field with his teammates, before he was substituted just after the match started. Photo / Photosport Viewers vented their frustration on social media and Burchett said Sky had received strong feedback from customers. “They expected us to recognise and preserve and to shine a light on a moment that truly transcended rugby league and we didn't. “Our customers trust us to bring the moments that matter in sport and we just fell short of that standard last night.” Sky had earlier released a statement apologising for the decision and posted the full walkout video online. “We know we missed a big moment, and we're really sorry you didn't get to see it live. Here's Jai Arrow's celebration in full,” the video was captioned with comments turned off. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As the school year gets underway, a statewide protest is brewing in Colorado's middle and high schools. Over 100 schools are planning to participate in a walkout on September 4, demanding that ICE agents stay away. But what should the consequences be for these schools and their students? Should they be allowed to walk out without any repercussions, or should there be consequences for the kids and the teachers who encourage them?This episode delves into the complexities of the issue, discussing the potential safety risks and the moral implications of allowing students to walk out of school. The speaker shares a list of schools that are planning to participate in the protest, and raises questions about the responsibility of schools in this situation. They also discuss the potential consequences for teachers who encourage students to walk out, and whether or not schools should cancel classes on the day of the protest.The conversation touches on the importance of education and the potential risks of allowing students to walk out, including the danger of traffic accidents and the impact on students who want to attend school. The speaker also shares some surprising statistics on the safest cars on the road, and discusses the potential consequences for schools that don't take steps to prevent students from walking out.If you're interested in hearing more about this issue and the potential consequences for schools and students, tune in to this episode to hear the speaker's thoughts on the matter.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Thousands of Washington state employees walked out Monday over stalled contract talks. The Department of Justice shut down hundreds of truck-driving schools across the country in an effort to crack down on fraud. Amazon has laid off 120 employees across Seattle, Bellevue, and Sumner. Data centers are the latest silly cause du jour -- and Republicans are taking the bait. // LongForm: GUEST: King County Councilmember Reagan Dunn on an asphalt plant along the Cedar River that has been purchased by they county, preserving it for public use. // Quick Hit: Hasan Piker continues to be a thorn in Abdul El-Sayed’s side.
Washington state is facing growing labor unrest as thousands of public employees walk off the job and Seattle teachers move closer to a potential strike that could disrupt the start of school for roughly 50,000 students. Thousands of Washington public employees represented by the Washington Federation of State Employees participated in the "Walkout for Washington" at more than 100 worksites across the state as contract negotiations continue with Gov. Bob Ferguson and the Office of Financial Management. The union, which is negotiating a contract covering roughly 52,000 taxpayer-funded workers, is seeking pay increases, affordable healthcare, expanded paid time off, compensatory time and cash-out provisions, management accountability, staffing changes, training, continuing education, tuition reimbursement and hazard pay. The labor fight comes as Washington faces significant budget pressures heading into 2027, creating new questions about state employee compensation, government spending and whether taxpayers could ultimately face additional costs. Meanwhile, Seattle Public Schools is approaching its own critical labor deadline. Seattle teachers and other education professionals could strike as the district prepares to begin classes for approximately 50,000 students. Seattle Public Schools is proposing guaranteed salary increases of 2.6% for 2026-27, 3.6% for 2027-28 and 2.6% for 2028-29—nearly 9% over three years. Those increases would come in addition to annual salary-step increases averaging roughly 4%. But labor disputes aren't the only major story facing Washington. The death of a 1-year-old Seattle boy is renewing scrutiny of Washington's child welfare system and the Keeping Families Together Act. The state had previous contact with the family, and critics are questioning whether Washington's restrictions on removing children from homes involving parental substance abuse are putting vulnerable children at risk. We Heart Seattle's Tim Emerson, who witnessed the aftermath of the child's death, and Keeping Kids Safe President Tracy Jefferson discuss the tragedy and their concerns about Washington's approach to children living in drug-affected homes. Plus, the Washington State Supreme Court is preparing to consider another challenge involving Initiative 645 and the Public Investment Impact Disclosure statement accompanying the effort to repeal Washington's new income tax. Watch Washington in Focus Daily for the latest on the Washington state worker walkout, Seattle teacher strike negotiations, Seattle Public Schools, Washington's child welfare system, the Keeping Families Together Act, Initiative 645, Washington's income tax repeal and the latest political and government news from Olympia. #WashingtonState #WashingtonPolitics #Seattle #SeattleSchools #TeachersStrike #LaborUnion #StateWorkers #BobFerguson #PublicEmployees #ChildWelfare #SeattleNews #Initiative645 #IncomeTax #Olympia #WashingtonInFocus Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

A week later, he was walking out of a stranger's apartment with $600 in his pocket, having just taken his first paid in-person sex work booking. In this episode of The Briefing, Chris Spyrou and Sacha Barbour Gatt welcome their former colleague and co-host back to the mic to unpack an unlikely career move - and the essay about it that's turned his life upside down in a matter of days. Bension explains how five hours of sex work can out-earn a week of journalism, why he sees it less as a last resort than a kind of liberation, and how a media landscape squeezed by redundancies and legal risk pushed him toward telling the stories he says newsrooms won't.

“We were still trying to change the world from the inside… and the empire struck back.” — Claire Stapleton on the Google Walkout Earlier this week, the New York Times published an op-ed on how to fight back against big tech which included a reading list from previous guests on the show like Karen Hao, Yanis Varoufakis and Astra Taylor. Not included was Claire Stapleton's Don't Be Evil: Bad Bosses, Fake Promises, and My Escape from Big Tech. Partly, I assume, because this anti-Google jeremiad only came out yesterday. An idealistic English major straight out of college, Stapleton joined Google in 2007, when few questioned Silicon Valley's utopian language. Her first job was in Google's ministry of truth, an internal communications department designed, as she now admits, to get everybody high on the mission. And that mission was to train Googlers into becoming obedient corporate cogs by neither blaming the system nor questioning authority. While not exactly Winston Smith, she nonetheless rose in the bureaucracy. Rachel Whetstone (Steve Hilton's wife) promoted Stapleton to the CEO's communications team where, as the archivist of the sayings of the company's two big brothers (Larry & Sergey), she became known as the “Bard” of Google. As an obedient corporate cog, she was both the message and the messenger. Until she wasn't. Like Orwell's Smith, Google's Claire Stapleton eventually turned her ministry of truth language on the ministry itself. In response to the $90 million exit package of a senior Google exec accused of sexual misconduct, she co-organized the Google Walkout of 20,000 employees. Two months later, her role was hollowed out. Then she lost her job. Not quite Room 101. No rats. But not a lot of fun. So is Google evil? Stapleton doesn't know. But the former Bard of Google acknowledges that Larry & Sergey's promises of making the world a better place are no longer credible. Today, idealistic young college grads want to fight back against Silicon Valley. Today, nobody outside the internal communications department of Google, OpenAI or Anthropic believes that technology is making the world a better place. Like Claire Stapleton, we all now want to escape from big tech. Five Takeaways • Getting High on the Mission. Google in 2007 wasn't selling a job; it was selling a worldview — and Stapleton's department, internal communications, existed to pump the mission, the values, and the founders' folksy TGIF theater into a workforce growing by tens of thousands. The perks were the philosophy made visible: laundry, haircuts, dentists, masseurs — “letting Google be your housewife.” The indoctrination had a curriculum, too: Fred Kofman's “radical accountability” training taught new hires to be players, not victims — which sounds empowering until you notice, as Stapleton did in a G-chat to her brother, that it means never blaming the system: “today I learned that if my team is dysfunctional, it's my fault.”• The Bard of Google. Rachel Whetstone — ex-London, politically shrewd, now married to California's Republican gubernatorial nominee — drafted Stapleton onto Larry Page's communications when Page retook the CEO job, making her the archivist of the founder's vision (until, in a twist she still can't quite believe, he literally lost his voice). From there: Creative Lab, “the alchemist lab of Google's branding,” wrapped in change-the-world gobbledygook; then YouTube's curation team, a job so dispensable that nobody on earth would notice if it stopped — David Graeber's bullshit jobs made flesh, complete with colleagues vanishing to the gym for hours. Her bad bosses, she notes, were workaday and familiar — which is precisely the point. Laszlo Bock's Work Rules explains why Google tried to constrain managers' power: given too much, they abuse it, pettily.• Normie, Not Whistleblower. Unlike Sarah Wynn-Williams' Careless People — a whistleblower's damning portrait of Zuckerberg and Sandberg — Don't Be Evil is a coming-of-age story from the rank and file: earnest, unjaded, “normie.” What's genuinely new in it is the workers'-eye view of the tech-labor moment: a company that hired idealists on the promise of changing the world, then watched the worker-management relationship transform with whiplash speed once those idealists asked what corporate accountability actually looks like. “We were still trying to change the world from the inside, from a different direction, as we lumbered our way through labor organizing 101… and the empire struck back.”• The Walkout and the Bill. The rupture came in 2018: the Me Too summer, an engineer's memo against diversity itself, and the Times' revelation of Andy Rubin's $90 million exit after credible harassment findings. The moms listserv lit up; at TGIF, management read talking points “designed to absorb dissent, project empathy, and move right along” — radicalizing the woman who used to write them. The Walkout drew 20,000 employees. The bill arrived two months later: her role hollowed out, transfers blocked across the organizer group, Meredith Whittaker's role dismantled, the rubber room. The group went public — the nuclear option — and Google offered severance. Stapleton, pregnant, asked for a year. An HR veteran's verdict, years later: “They sure got you out cheap.” And the villains of her story, she notes, were mostly women — her own management chain — while Susan Wojcicki offered the older generation's lament: you have no idea how hard it was for me.• Don't Outsource Your Moral Compass. Is Google better than the rest? There's no noxious star — Sundar Pichai harmonizes rather than dominates — but the company owns the infrastructure of the digital world, and “is it more evil? less evil? I don't know.” The deeper shift is industry-wide: Larry Page's “treat workers well and they'll contribute tenfold” has become “your job could easily go to AI, so be grateful.” Her advice to the young and idealistic: keep some skepticism; hold your own values in your own mind; let work be part of your life without letting it take over; build solidarity instead of “letting the overlords do their overlord thing.” The good news, she suspects, is that the spell is breaking anyway: audiences now boo the AI ads in movie theaters. About the Guest Claire Stapleton is a writer, communications consultant, and tech labor activist. She spent twelve years at Google in communications, marketing, and executive ghostwriting roles — becoming known as “the Bard of Google” — before co-organizing the 2018 Google Walkout, in which 20,000 employees protested the company's mishandling of sexual harassment; The New York Times called it a watershed moment in tech. She writes an existential advice column for tech workers on Substack, and her account of her Google years, “The Voice of Google,” appeared in The New Yorker. Her first book is

Andrew Jenkins, the Traitors star, joins James Smith for a raw conversation about resilience, identity, and rebuilding a life after everything is taken away. At 21, Andrew was pronounced dead at the scene of a catastrophic car accident, lost half his skull and over half his blood, and was told he'd never walk, talk, or recognise anyone again. He walked out of that hospital and then spent 15 years suffering in silence behind a good body, a nice house, and a successful banking career.
We kick off this loaded episode celebrating National Fortune Cookie Day by cracking open a few fortunes before dropping an announcement: we are officially heading to New York City as credentialed media for the USATF National Championships on Randall's Island! Expect plenty of athlete interviews and uncut unhinged content. Erin gives a 12 week pull up program progress report. We stack up our week 12 numbers against day one, revealing insane gains. We also vent about the discouraging social media comments claiming a pull up takes years, and recap our contrasting weekend social lives, including surviving a next door neighbor's party in "hard pants". Next up, we dive into a heavy dose of local shore chaos for "Erin's Tea Time". The controversial LBI mega house was somehow approved. The zero parking situation boiled over when contractors blocked a driveway, prompting two police cars to show up, much to the delight of our ticket obsessed seven year old. Meanwhile, Dan took on the local beach badge checkers after they called the cops on surfers, pulling out the official rule book to prove that anyone can legally "traverse" the sand to get to the water without a badge.We then put on our Esquire hats for a massive journalism and law segment, starting with a fascinating soccer history discovery: why players walk out holding hands with children. Speaking of soccer, we look at the concessions data out of Philadelphia's stadium, where 410,000 fans crushed 290,000 beers and 55,000 hot dogs, and we applaud FIFA's partnership with the nonprofit Musically Fed to donate leftover food instead of tossing it in a dumpster. We then shift to some wild court cases, covering the Troy Turkey Trot race director charged with grand larceny for stealing $114,000, the class-action lawsuit against United and Delta over "windowless" window seats, a ridiculous trademark battle between a sneaker company and Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes' new 1587 Prime steakhouse, and a petty cookbook author coming after a creator over a cake pop recipe. To wrap things up, we compare two totally different fitness movements: an incredibly cool, Rolling Stone approved underground calisthenics street league in New York City featuring a brutal 100 burpee and 65 pound dumbbell squat face off, versus a lame, corporate, $15 million backed CrossFit rival called Xenon that uses AI photos. Finally, we close out the episode with a health rant about the Cyclospora parasite outbreak causing weeks of explosive diarrhea across the country. Finally in our No Bad No Sad segment we talk about a kid getting advice from professional NFL players regarding his football stances.
Georgie Tunny has spent more than a decade working her way through Australian newsrooms, from an ABC cadetship to Network 10's flagship desk. In this episode of The Weekend Briefing, Helen Smith asks Georgie what it took to carve out a place in sports journalism as a woman when the industry offered few seats at the table, the exhaustion of breakfast TV and the long road to trusting her own instincts. She also reflects on turning 35, her time on The Project, taking on The Amazing Race Australia with her fiancé Rob Mills and her debut novel set inside the cutthroat world of television, inspired by the friendships and rivalries she's lived firsthand. You can get your hands on Georgie’s debut novel ‘Over to You’ here.

#431 In this podcast episode, Guy talked with Howard Martin about using heart-based practices to navigate global stress, reduce fear, and shift from victimhood to self-responsibility. Howard explained HeartMath's view of both a physical and energetic heart, the concept of heart-brain-body coherence, and tools like the HeartMath app and sensor to measure and train it. They discussed consciousness as a vast information field that people both draw from and feed through thoughts and especially emotions, shaping perceptions of reality through appreciation, compassion, and love. Howard described research on energetic connectivity, including global synchronization of heart rhythms during shared heart meditations, and correlations between Earth's geomagnetic activity and human feelings and coherence. He shared daily practices such as morning and evening heart lock-ins, pauses during the day, and radiating compassion toward world suffering, emphasizing that inner change contributes to the collective field. About Howard: Howard Martin is one of the original leaders who helped Doc Childre found HeartMath and has been with the organization since its inception in 1991 serving as a key spokesperson and executive. In 1999 he co-authored with Doc Childre, The HeartMath Solution, published by HarperSanFrancisco , considered to be a classic and the definitive work on the intelligence of the heart. Howard is also a contributing author of the new book, Heart Intelligence, Connecting with the Intuitive Guidance of the Heart. Howard played a key role in launching the Global Coherence Initiative (GCI), a science-based, co-creative project to unite people in heart-focused care and intention, to facilitate the shift in global consciousness from instability and discord to balance, cooperation and enduring peace. He has served as a Steering Committee Member and spokesperson for GCI since its inception in 2008. During his career with HeartMath and the Global Coherence Initiative, Howard has been instrumental in delivering practical, yet dynamic programs to tens of thousands of people in audiences world-wide. Because of his universal appeal, he has conducted keynote presentations and training programs for Fortune 100 companies, government agencies, all four branches of the U.S. military, school systems, ecumenical organizations and for publicly promoted events in over 50 cities on four continents.

We start this week's episode with headlines from St Mary's hospital (Chicago and Madison), Uber, Starbucks, Amazon, Target Field, Hyundai, the Durham Miners Association, and Walmart. Our first main story follows up on the strike by UAW workers at American Axle, who have won a major new contract. Pro-Palestine student protestors at the University of Michigan were arrested in FBI raids, we discuss the escalating attacks on the movement. The World Cup kicked off this week, and in addition to the sportswashing of Empire, there's a whole lot of exploitation, but thankfully workers are fighting back. Finally, we do a deep dive into the wide range of attacks on higher education, both the workers themselves and the institutional structure as a whole.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 81: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (3:00) SPECIAL COMMENT: "Donald Trump Is Losing His Mind." It's the headline on a column in perhaps the most prominent MAGA magazine headline. It's not me saying it this time. Not Jimmy Kimmel. Not George Conway. Not a psychiatrist. The Washington Examiner: “Donald Trump Is Losing His Mind.” Why? Just because he’s also losing IRAN? Just because he’s COMPARING Iran to Vietnam (which he dodged)? Just because he threatened to go General Sherman on Teheran? Just because he's just announced you are no longer ALLOWED to CRITICIZE him ABOUT Iran? “Donald Trump Is Losing His Mind” writes The Washington Examiner - guess that makes it unanimous (and there is now polling on this!) ALSO: House Democrats want Kash Patel to take an alcoholism screening test. His choices amount to: a) ARE you an alcoholic? b) Are you so FULL of alcohol you’re at risk of bursting into flames, or c) are you J. Edgar Boozer. AND about the White House Correspondents Dinner Saturday. The Correspondents Association is obeying in advance to Trump, calling him an "honoree" and welcoming his rats like Brendan Carr and Stephen Miller. If you’re attending this dinner, and you are not planning to storm out or otherwise using this rare opportunity to protest Trump’s presence, you’re not only a traitor to JOURNALISM, you’re a traitor to America. B-Block (36:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Trump's "National Garden Of Heroes" with 250 statues of everybody from Elvis to Whittaker Chambers is dumb enough. What happens when they forget to order the statues? Interior Secretary Burgum wants Theodore Roosevelt in the pro football Hall of Fame even though there wasn't pro football while T.R. was alive. And new Congressman Clay Fuller says he was only joking when he said Georgia was named after George Washington. C-Block (45:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Talking about dinner in DC Saturday (The White House Correspondents) led me to mention my disastrous dates last century with Laura Ingraham on social media and there was considerable disbelief so it's time to tell that story.
