“The Shining” - haunted halls of an isolated hotel, a writer's descent into madness. supernatural horrors, and what some believe are Stanley Kubrick's hidden clues about faking the moon landing.*No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*IN THIS EPISODE: Does Stanley Kubrick's classic 1980 film The Shining contain a hidden code about the Apollo moon landings? (Under a Shining Moon) *** Poltergeists have been reported as having unique personalities. Some are violent, others are eerily playful. But in Vietnam, they are dealing with one that likes to start fires. (Pyromaniac Poltergeist) *** In 1885 a madman stalked the streets of Austin, Texas, slaughtering women where they slept. You might think he was inspired by London's Jack the Ripper – but this was three years before anyone ever knew about Jack. (The Servant Girl Murders) *** Are ghosts and shadow people the same thing? Author Jacob Shelton doesn't think so – and gives us an in-depth essay behind his reasoning. (Ghosts And Shadows) *** In September, 1935, the Labor Day Hurricane obliterated the Florida Keys, killing hundreds. Even today, more than 83 years later, skeletal remains still continue to occasionally be found… as do some of their ghosts. (Ghosts Of The Labor Day Hurricane) *** Nathaniel Bar-Jonah was accused of murdering a child. Soon, his neighbors remembered the strange meat he'd given them years before. (Child Killer and Cannibal) *** Was the notorious Dr Crippen, convicted and executed in 1910 for the murder of his wife Cora, actually innocent? (Dr. Crippen and the Chamber of Murder and Horror) *** Two women decide to move into a flat together – but quickly find out they might have a paranormal third roommate they didn't know about. (The Other Flatmate) *** In the wild frontier of the 1790s, Americans had much to be worried about. Drought, famine, being injured with no one there to get help for you, poisonous snakes, hungry wolves, even being scalped by bloodthirsty natives of the land. But nothing was so scary as… the Harpe brothers. You see, the Harpe brothers didn't choose their victims – they simply killed anyone who got in their way, including women and children.

The orbits of the planets are closely aligned with the extension of the Sun's equator into space and are contained within the flattened disk of material which forms the plane solar system. Most asteroids have orbits with inclinations or tilts to the solar system's plane which are less than 20 degrees. Thus, when my Catalina Sky Survey teammate Rose Matheny discovered a small space rock which soars into the lonely space high above and below our solar system's plane, it got our attention. As with all of our asteroid discoveries, Rose had no idea of what kind of object she had discovered with our Schmidt Telescope on Mt. Bigelow, Arizona until it had been tracked by observers around the world. The Minor Planet Center used the data from 14 different telescopes to calculate an orbit, estimate a size, and give the new object the name, 2017 TF4. Rose's odd ball near Earth Apollo asteroid discovery , 2017 TF4, has an orbit which is tilted by 60 degrees to the plane of our solar system. It's inclination or tilt is greater than 99.5% of the other 8,000 known Earth approaching Apollo asteroids. 2017 TF4, Rose's 260 foot diameter discovery orbits the Sun at about the same distance as the Earth once every 414 days. Perhaps as asteroid hunters discover additional small objects with orbits similar to Rose's discovery we will be able to trace them back to when they were created by a catastrophic collision long ago.

En 16 abril de 1972, el Apollo 16 despega desde el Centro Espacial Kennedy a bordo de un cohete Saturno V, con los astronautas John W. Young, Thomas K. “Ken” Mattingly y Charles M. Duke. Tras entrar en órbita alrededor del satélite, los astronautas comienzan a observar ya a observar fenómenos que les desconciertan y para los que no encuentran explicación. Ya durante la órbita lunar y antes del alunizaje, aparecen ante sus ojos extrañas formaciones gigantesca en el terreno, cuya precisión resulta difícil de atribuir únicamente al azar geológico. Pero lo más sorprendente llega cuando John Young y Charles Duke descienden a la superficie lunar. Desde el propio lugar de alunizaje... ¿De nuevo habían ido hasta allí para recoger más muestras de rocas? ¿Cuál era la verdadera misión del Apollo 16? A bordo del rover lunar los dos astronautas exploran las regiones indicadas por NASA, zonas fotografiadas previamente a las misiones por las sondas Lunar Orbiter, y lo que se presenta ante ellos es algo que no olvidarían por el resto de sus vidas y algo de lo que no estaban del todo informados. ¿Qué encontraron realmente los astronautas cuando llegaron a la Luna?

A decades-old US Forest Service rule that's been used to supposedly reduce wildfire risk through large-scale logging while bypassing environmental review has been deemed unlawful by a federal court in Oregon. Clearcutting can instead increase wildfire risk, and our guest says USFS needs to rethink its entire approach to managing forests and wildfire risk. Also, the Artemis II mission is getting ready to use the most powerful rocket ever built by NASA to return to the moon for the first time since the original Apollo missions more than 50 years ago. How declining public support shut down the Apollo program, and why NASA again faces headwinds in maintaining the public's interest in space exploration.

For people living with kidney disease, clinical trials can offer hope—but not without questions or concerns. Today, we talk with Dr. Nadine Barrett, Glenda Roberts, and Luz Baqueiro about lived experience, community trust, and the power of being asked. In this episode we heard from: Dr. Nadine J. Barrett is a Professor in the Department of Social Sciences and Health Policy in the Division of Public Health Sciences and the inaugural Senior Associate Dean of Community Engagement and Equity in Research at Wake Forest School of Medicine, she is Associate Director of Community Outreach and Engagement for Wake Forest Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Clinical Translational Science Institute and the Maya Angelou Center for Health Equity. Prior to joining Wake Forest, Dr. Barrett served 13 years in senior leadership roles at Duke University, as the Founding Director of both the Duke Center for Equity in Research and the nationally awarded, Duke Cancer Institute's Office of Health Equity. She is also President of the national Association of Cancer Care Centers, in Washington DC. A medical sociologist by training, Dr. Barrett is a health disparities researcher, expert equity strategist, and a nationally recognized leader in facilitating authentic community, healthcare, and academic partnerships to advance health equity. She develops multi-level interventions to address implicit bias, structural and systemic racism, and inequities that limit access to quality research and trustworthy health care among underserved and marginalized populations. Dr. Barrett brings an equity lens to her work and collaborations to enhance healthcare systems, close the disparities gap in health outcomes, and increase diverse and broad representation in research participation and the research workforce. Glenda Roberts: Prior to joining the Mount Sinai Center for Kidney Disease Innovation as the Director of Communications and Patient Engagement, Glenda V. Roberts was an Information Technology executive with over 35 years of experience with top-caliber corporations, including General Electric, Microsoft and Johnson & Johnson. She was also the Executive Director of the Seattle Transplant House, and the Director of External Relations & Patient Engagement at the University of Washington Center for Dialysis Innovation (CDI) and the Kidney Research Institute (KRI). Before going on dialysis, Glenda managed the progression of her disease for over 40 years using diet and exercise. Since her transplant in 2010, she's completed nine half marathons. Based upon her personal experience with kidney disease, Glenda is a passionate activist for kidney research and patients living with kidney disease. She's involved in myriad patient-centered national and international health care transformation initiatives. All are focused on addressing patient preferences and improving patient-reported outcomes. Glenda brings the patient voice to several NIH/NIDDK government and industry research efforts (Kidney Precision Medicine Project, APOLLO), as well as the American Society of Nephrology's Current & Emerging Threats (C-ET) Steering Committee. She's the inaugural co-chair of the Critical Path Institute's Biomarker Data Repository Governance Committee, and a member of the Kidney Health Initiative (KHI) Board of Directors. Additionally, she contributes to the Advisory Boards of LifeCenter Northwest and Home Dialyzors United, and over 15 other industry and academic research advisory committees/boards focused on transplantation, kidney, cardiovascular, and metabolic health. As an ambassador for the National Kidney Foundation, the American Kidney Fund, and the American Association of Kidney Patients, Glenda's advocacy tirelessly advances the voices, needs, and aspirations of the kidney community worldwide. Luz Baqueiro serves as a patient advocate with the National Kidney Foundation (NKF), providing feedback and helping develop new initiatives to better support the Latin American community affected by chronic kidney disease. She also raises awareness of the barriers faced by patients living with renal failure while educating and supporting her community in Georgia. In 2019, Luz was diagnosed with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). With limited resources in Georgia, she relied on emergency in-hospital dialysis for a year. In August 2021, through self-determination, self-education, and the support of her family and community, she received a kidney transplant.

"Under the watchful eyes of Bob's Stratos and Apollo..."This week Elton is asking the big questions: What do you do when the world ends, not with a bang, but with a sudden, awkward silence?In this special crossover event, Elton is joined by the one and only Glen Nuzzle from the Nuzzle House podcast to unpack Jonathan Lethem's post-technological fever dream, The Arrest.Imagine the "Off" switch for the entire world was flipped. No internet, no cars, no planes—just a sudden, quiet return to a pastoral life. This is the world of Sandy “Journeyman” Duplessis, a former Hollywood script doctor now living a humble life in rural Maine, delivering organic rutabagas and trying to forget his past.But the past has a way of showing up in a nuclear-powered, drill-nosed super-machine.When Sandy's old frenemy, the legendary (and legendarily ego-maniacal) producer Peter Todbaum, rolls into town in the "Blue Streak," he brings more than just forbidden technology—he brings the toxic baggage of Hollywood storytelling to a world that was finally learning to live without it.The Ultimate Rivalry: We dive into the petty, hilarious tension between a man who just wants to garden and a man who refuses to stop being the protagonist.Post-Apocalypse... with Vibes: Is it a dystopia, or just a really long camping trip? Lethem flips the script on traditional "end of the world" tropes.A "Nuzzle" Worthy Discussion: Glen Nuzzle brings his signature style to the table, helping Elton navigate the surreal landscapes and meta-commentary that only Lethem can provide."It's a story about the stories we tell ourselves to survive, and what happens when those stories are delivered by a man in a giant metal mole-car."Whether you're a fan of high-concept literary sci-fi or you just enjoy hearing two guys talk about the absurdity of a nuclear-powered drill in a potato field, this episode is for you.GET THE BOOK: From AmazonFrom an Indie Book SellerBECOME AN Elton Reads A Book A Week CONTRIBUTOR HERE:Elton Reads A Book A Week PatreonTips!SOCIAL MEDIA!

Sid Powell and Paul Frambot on why Apollo, Cantor, and Coinbase are quietly building their financial products on DeFi rails, and what it means for lending. Nexo is the premier digital wealth platform. Receive interest on your crypto, borrow against it without selling, and trade a range of assets. Now available in the U.S with 30 days of exclusive privileges. Get started at nexo.com/unchained Onchain lending used to be a crypto-native curiosity. Now Cantor Fitzgerald is extending credit facilities through it, Apollo Global Management is acquiring governance tokens, and Coinbase users are borrowing against Bitcoin to buy houses, all running on DeFi protocols operating in the background. Maple Finance CEO Sid Powell and Morpho co-founder Paul Frambot sit at the center of this shift, and they have very different reads on what it takes to make institutional adoption real. What are the actual limits to onchain lending growth right now? Does the DeFi mullet model work for everyone, or only for specific use cases? And as DAOs across the industry stumble under the weight of public governance, what structures actually let a protocol move fast without losing trust? This conversation gets into the mechanics, the trade-offs, and the deals that are quietly redrawing the lines between DeFi and traditional finance.

All plants are toxic to varying degrees. I haven't changed my mind on that. But recently our oldest daughter came up with a business idea: – making salves from plantain leaves infused in beeswax and olive oil for their antibacterial properties — and it got me thinking about the role plants actually play in our household despite the fact that we're very much an animal-based, meat-centric family. The truth is, we do eat plants. We always have. The foundation hasn't changed — meat, organs, eggs, dairy and bone broth make up the vast majority of our calories, and comparing the nutrient content of beef liver to kale isn't a close fight. But adhering to an animal-based dietary framework doesn't mean plants are the enemy in every context. The oldest use case is medicinal. Aspirin comes from willow bark, metformin from the French lilac, morphine from poppies. I'm not eating willow bark for lunch, but if I have a headache, it makes perfect sense. Turmeric targets inflammatory pathways, ginger helps with nausea, and oregano oil has been one of our go-to remedies for respiratory and gut infections for years. These aren't calories or micronutrients — we get those from animals. But for targeted medicinal use, plants have earned their place. Then there's flavor and the cultural connection that comes with food. Rosemary on a lamb roast, fresh basil on sourdough pizza, the smell of garlic roasting in a pan — those things make food better. Food is family connection, tradition, and cultural identity. My wife is Costa Rican, I'm from Europe, and we grew up with certain meals that bring the family together. Some of those include plant-based ingredients, and the value of sharing that meal can override the marginal downsides. The real nuance is preparation. Fermenting, sprouting, soaking, peeling cooking — these methods can meaningfully reduce anti-nutrients like lectins and phytic acid. We peel, slice, and ferment sweet potatoes in a saline solution for three days, which lowers the glycemic index and breaks down a lot of the problematic compounds. We soak rice overnight and cook it in fresh water. None of this turns plants into superfoods, but it makes them significantly more compatible with a species-appropriate diet – especially if you're sourcing organic or growing them yourself. The practical framework is straightforward: 80 to 90% quality animal foods, 10 to 20% well-chosen, well-prepared plants. If you're already eating nose to tail and building around nutrient density, you've won the big battle. The plant question is just fine-tuning.

In the early 1970s, after the triumph of landing on the Moon, NASA faced a question: what comes next? The answer was Skylab, America's first space station. Built from leftover Apollo hardware and launched on the final Saturn V rocket, Skylab became humanity's first long-term laboratory in space. Astronauts lived aboard for months, studying the Sun, observing Earth, and learning how the human body adapts to weightlessness. Its story helped shape every space station that followed.

Why do smart teams still deliver failed projects? Most project failures don't begin with a catastrophic mistake. Instead, they begin with small deviations—minor compromises that seem harmless in the moment. A warning sign gets ignored. A shortcut becomes acceptable. A risk is acknowledged but tolerated because "nothing bad happened last time." Over time, those deviations quietly become the new normal. In this episode of Project Management Happy Hour, Kim Essendrup and Kate Anderson sit down with Dr. Bill Brantley to explore one of the most dangerous patterns in project leadership: normalization of deviance. The concept comes from sociologist Diane Vaughan's analysis of the Challenger space shuttle disaster. Engineers had long observed problems with the shuttle's O-ring seals. But earlier launches survived those anomalies. Each successful launch reinforced the belief that the risk was acceptable. Gradually, what began as an abnormal warning became accepted behavior. As Dr. Brantley explains: "We survived that near miss. It's okay. Next time we'll be okay." Project teams fall into this pattern all the time. A design review is skipped because the team is behind schedule. A test failure gets dismissed because it hasn't caused a real problem yet. A risk gets documented—but never truly addressed. Nothing breaks immediately. So the project keeps moving. The conversation explores how this slow drift toward failure mirrors patterns seen in aviation, engineering disasters, and even mountaineering expeditions. Experienced professionals—people who know better—gradually normalize increasingly risky decisions until the system finally breaks. But the episode goes further than just diagnosing the problem. Dr. Brantley and the hosts dive into the decision dynamics inside projects. A typical project team makes dozens—or even hundreds—of decisions every week. Some have immediate consequences, while others take months or years to reveal their impact. One story from the Apollo program illustrates this perfectly: a weld defect made years earlier ultimately contributed to the crisis of Apollo 13. This delay between decision and consequence creates a dangerous blind spot. Dr. Brantley jokingly calls it the "White Castle effect." "White Castle burgers are great going down… and then at three in the morning you realize you made a bad decision." The same thing happens in project management. Decisions that seem harmless in the moment can produce painful consequences much later. One of the most powerful insights from the discussion is that organizations often fail to reflect on their decisions. Teams act, move forward, and stay busy—but rarely pause to ask whether their decisions are actually improving outcomes. That reflection step is critical. "Reflection really helps you break that normalization of deviance." Without it, teams never notice when small compromises start compounding into systemic risk. The episode also explores practical techniques for improving project decision-making. One of Dr. Brantley's favorites is red teaming—a method borrowed from military strategy and cybersecurity. In a red-team exercise, someone deliberately challenges the plan and tries to break it. Their job is to expose weaknesses before reality does. It's a powerful way to counter groupthink and create psychological safety for dissent. Another theme throughout the conversation is something many project managers intuitively know but rarely articulate: Every action—or inaction—on a project is ultimately a decision. "Everything is a decision. Nobody is going to come after you around anything other than decisions." Whether it's changing scope, delaying work, ignoring a risk, or choosing not to act at all, project leaders are constantly making decisions that shape the outcome of the project. The real question isn't whether decisions are happening. It's whether those decisions are intentional, visible, and thoughtfully examined. Because in many projects, failure doesn't arrive suddenly. It arrives slowly—one accepted deviation at a time. Love our content? Then join the PM Happy Hour membership at pmhappyhour.com/membership

In this episode Nathan and Cameron explore a surprising connection between evangelism and the famous poem Archaic Torso of Apollo by Rainer Maria Rilke, unpacking how beauty, brokenness, and the call to “change your life” illuminate the Christian mission today. In this deep theological conversation, they discuss why many believers feel unprepared to share the gospel, how the biblical idea of “treasure in jars of clay” reframes evangelism, and why imperfect Christians can still powerfully point others to Jesus Christ. Drawing on insights from N. T. Wright, C. S. Lewis, and real-life experiences, Nathan and Cameron show how echoes of goodness, truth, and beauty can lead people toward faith—even when the messenger is flawed. This episode offers thoughtful Christian analysis of culture, art, and current conversations about faith, encouraging believers to overcome performance anxiety in evangelism and trust that God works through ordinary people to reveal the extraordinary power of the gospel.DONATE LINK: https://toltogether.com/donate BOOK A SPEAKER: https://toltogether.com/book-a-speakerJOIN TOL CONNECT: https://toltogether.com/tol-connect TOL Connect is an online forum where TOL listeners can continue the conversation begun on the podcast.
Most engineers don't start their careers thinking, “I can't wait to manage people.”They want to build things. Tinker. Solve hard problems. See hardware fly.In this episode, Brian Ippolito from Marotta Controls talks about what it's been like to grow inside a third-generation aerospace company that grew from about 130 people to nearly 1,000 during his career.We talk about the moment you stop being someone's peer and become their manager, and how uncomfortable that shift can be. Brian shares what actually changes when you move from leading a team to leading leaders, and why simple advice like “hit the forward button more” is harder to put into practice than it sounds.He also explains the very real “Bob from Valves” problem in manufacturing. When critical knowledge lives in one person's head, it feels efficient until it becomes a risk. That's part of the reason they built “Valve Camp,” an onboarding program that brings engineers, technicians, and even HR closer to the product so everyone understands the mission.Throughout the conversation, Brian reflects on how Marotta has kept its family-company culture while competing in aerospace and defense for more than 80 years, building hardware that has flown from the Apollo era to today's heavy-lift rockets.If you are an engineer moving into management, leading technical teams, or trying to scale without losing what makes your company special, this episode is for you.Marotta Controls continues to grow across engineering, manufacturing, and support roles. If you want to work on aerospace systems that go from design to flight, take a look at their open positions.Episode Highlights00:00 From engineer to leader inside a growing aerospace company07:45 The “buddy to boss” transition11:30 Why delegation feels uncomfortable at first14:42 Finding purpose when you stop doing the hands-on work19:19 The “Bob from Valves” problem24:40 Why documenting the “why” matters more than the “how”27:13 Valve Camp and building technical talent from day oneKey TakeawaysDelegation is a multi-year transition, not a flip of a switch.Technical leaders still need a way to “scratch the itch”, just maybe not at work.Tribal knowledge should constantly be converted into shared knowledge.Training isn't overhead.

Is the U.S. Already Losing the Space Nuclear Race?Nuclear reactors may be critical for the future of space exploration. But as the United States debates policy and regulation, China is rapidly advancing plans for nuclear power systems in space. From powering lunar bases to enabling deep space missions, space nuclear power systems could determine which nations lead the next era of space development.In this interview, Dr. Bhavya Lal discusses why the United States may need to fly a nuclear reactor in space within the next decade, the strategic competition with China's space nuclear ambitions, and the policy barriers slowing American progress.We explore the key questions shaping the future of space power: Why the U.S. may need to demonstrate a space nuclear reactor by 2030Whether China could deploy nuclear power systems on the Moon first What the cancellation of DARPA's DRACO nuclear propulsion program means for U.S. strategy The difference between nuclear propulsion and nuclear power systems in space How regulatory barriers affect the development of space nuclear technology Whether public-private partnerships can realistically deliver space nuclear systems The strategic implications of nuclear power infrastructure beyond EarthDr. Lal outlines the policy options, technical challenges, and geopolitical stakes surrounding the race to develop nuclear power systems for space.If humanity is going to establish a sustained presence beyond Earth, nuclear energy may be the only power source capable of supporting large-scale space infrastructure.Topics coveredspace nuclear powernuclear reactors in spaceKilopower reactorNASA space nuclear technologyChina lunar infrastructure plansDARPA DRACO nuclear propulsionlunar base power systemsspace exploration strategynuclear propulsion vs nuclear powerWeighing the Future: Strategic Options for U.S. Space NuclearLeadership [White paper]: https://coldstarproject.com/lalnuclearpaperAbout The Cold Star ProjectThe Cold Star Project explores the technology, strategy, and economics shaping the future of space and defense.Executive Clarity Assessment: https://coldstartech.com/assessmentJason's latest Space industry book, for space startup founders - "The Evolution of Space Ownership": https://coldstartech.com/evospaceFair Use Disclaimer: https://coldstarproject.com/fairusePortions of this video reference the following works:NASA Image and Video Libraryhttps://images.nasa.govNASA Scientific Visualization Studiohttps://svs.gsfc.nasa.govNASA Goddard Space Flight CenterNASA Jet Propulsion LaboratoryNASA HeadquartersU.S. National Archives (Apollo footage)https://archive.orgWikimedia Commons (Public Domain NASA imagery)Selected materials include imagery from the Apollo program, Saturn launch footage, NERVA nuclear propulsion program archives, Kilopower reactor concept demonstrations, Artemis briefings, Europa Clipper development imagery, lunar visualization datasets, and historical NASA documentary film.Most NASA images and videos are public domain courtesy of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.All referenced material is used here for commentary and analysis purposes.Remuneration DisclaimerWe were not remunerated by the guest or their organization if any for this discussion.

On this week's episode we're chatting to one of the most instantly recognisable voices in British comedy. Lucy Beaumont was raised by her mother – the playwright Gill Adams in Hull, she went to school and University in the city and got her first acting jobs at the Hull Truck Theatre. Her comedy breakthrough was almost accidental – her first stand-up gigs were an attempt to conquer her stage fright – she entered the ‘So You Think You're Funny' Competition and went on to reach the final.Even after she left Hull – the city features heavily in her work – she made three series of the radio sitcom To Hull & Back, and co-wrote the Channel 4 comedy ‘Hullraisers'She's become a regular on our screens on comedy shows like Live at the Apollo, Would I Lie to You? QI, Taskmaster, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown and the Bafta-nominated mockumentary ‘Meet the Richardson's' - an exaggerated version of her marriage to Jon Richardson.Last year millions watched Lucy get murdered in a Scottish Castle on Celebrity Traitors and she's currently appearing alongside Johnny Vegas, Lesley Joseph, Shobna Gulati and a cameo from Sir Tom Courtenay in a sell-out 40th Anniversary revival of Jim Cartwright's play ‘Road' about 80s life in a Northern Town which has received rave reviews.Her next stand-up tour ‘Bad at Quiz Shows, Good with Weirdos' will be her biggest yet – and it's fair to say that right now she's at the top of her game. Her material has always been autobiographical – she's shared her stories of Hull, motherhood, and marriage – so I'm looking forward to finding out what this next chapter holds… Hosted on Acast.

Jamie Walden doesn't do soft landings. A Marine infantryman who pushed to Baghdad in '03, turned firefighter-paramedic, turned missionary, turned pastor in the shadow of Mesa Verde, Jamie has been consuming and contending with the intersection of the UAP space, intelligence operations, and biblical prophecy for over twenty years. Jamie is deeply connected to a task force of Green Berets and intelligence community operators who are briefing Congress and policymakers on the UAP and NHI space, and he brings a battlefield perspective to what he sees as the most comprehensive influence campaign in human history. He breaks down why 90% of what's being seen in the skies is human-made advanced tech, which is either ours, adversarial, or private sector breakaway, while the remaining unknown percentage traces back to channeled ancient knowledge from the powers of darkness. Jamie walks through the elephant analogy his task force uses to explain how the government is intentionally showing different people different angles of the same reality to keep everyone confused, divided, and most importantly, distracted from Christ. The deception, he argues, is not the existence of the phenomena, but the context and narrative wrapped around it.Jamie doesn't stop at disclosure. He connects the UAP conversation to the golden age language coming out of the current administration, tracing it back to the Cumaean Sibyl prophecies and the cult of Apollo, the occult symbolism embedded in the Great Seal, and what he calls a continuity of agenda running through every presidency. He unpacks how 'Christ consciousness' is being sown through the institutions of the new age, NAR, Mormonism, Catholicism, and even mainstream evangelicalism, and is priming the world to receive an anti-Christ. Though not through a jackboot on the neck, but through a deception so appealing that people will demand it, cheer it, and turn on anyone who refuses. Jamie lays out his polycrisis theory, which is a convergence of World War III, AI-driven bioweapons, astro-catastrophism, and global trauma designed to soften the collective consciousness, and makes the case that the only thing that will survive what's coming is an unmitigated, uncompromised identity in Christ. Not knowledge about Him, but a knowing of Him, and identity rooted in Him. https://brooklynbedding.com — Get 30% off sitewide when you use code Blurry. https://preborn.com/blurry — Visit the PreBorn! website or dial #250 and use keyword BABY to donate today. https://timtebow.com/tree-blurry/ — Get your copy of If the Tree Could Speak by Tim Tebow on Amazon today!

NASA has announced a major restructuring of the Artemis program, reshaping the roadmap for returning humans to the Moon. At a February 27 press conference, agency leadership addressed the rollback of Artemis II following post–wet–dress–rehearsal testing and unveiled significant changes to upcoming missions, including shifting Artemis III from a planned lunar landing to a low-Earth-orbit rendezvous and integrated systems test. In this episode, you’ll hear remarks from NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman and Lori Glaze, Moon to Mars program manager and acting associate administrator for NASA’s Exploration Systems Development Mission Directorate. They explain what happened with Artemis II and why NASA is changing course. Then, host Sarah Al-Ahmed is joined by Jack Kiraly, director of government relations at The Planetary Society, and Ari Koeppel, AAAS science and technology policy fellow, to unpack the political and strategic forces behind this shift and what it means for the future of lunar exploration. In What’s Up, Bruce Betts, our chief scientist, looks back at Apollo 9, the Earth-orbiting mission that proved the Lunar Module could operate independently before NASA attempted a lunar landing.

This Day in Legal History: Lincoln's Second InauguralOn March 4, 1865, Abraham Lincoln delivered his Second Inaugural Address as he began his second term as President of the United States. The speech came during the final weeks of the Civil War, when Union victory was increasingly likely but the country remained deeply divided. Instead of celebrating the nearing end of the war, Lincoln used the moment to reflect on the deeper causes of the conflict. He identified slavery as the central issue that had brought the nation into war, describing it as both a legal institution and a moral injustice embedded in American law for generations. Lincoln noted that both the North and South had participated in a system that allowed slavery to endure within the nation's constitutional framework.In one of the address's most striking passages, Lincoln suggested that the war itself might be understood as divine judgment for the nation's long tolerance of slavery. He observed that slavery had existed in the Americas for centuries and reflected on the possibility that the immense suffering of the war was a form of punishment for that history. Lincoln famously stated that if divine providence willed that the war continue “until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword,” then such judgment might still be just. This reflection framed the war not simply as a political conflict but as a reckoning with a deeply rooted legal and moral wrong.Lincoln's remarks also pointed toward the constitutional transformation already underway through the pending Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Congress had passed the amendment earlier in 1865, and it awaited ratification by the states. If adopted, it would permanently abolish slavery across the United States and fundamentally alter the constitutional order. Lincoln's speech emphasized that the war's conclusion would also mark a legal turning point, ending a constitutional system that had protected slavery. At the same time, he called for reconciliation in rebuilding the nation, urging the country to move forward “with malice toward none.” Only months later, the Civil War ended and the Thirteenth Amendment was ratified in December 1865, permanently outlawing slavery in the United States.The House Oversight Committee has asked several high-profile figures to testify about their connections to Jeffrey Epstein as part of a broader investigation into how the federal government handled the case. Those requested to appear include departing Goldman Sachs Chief Legal Officer Kathryn Ruemmler, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, and Apollo Global Management co-founder Leon Black.The request to Ruemmler comes shortly after she announced plans to step down from Goldman Sachs and after Justice Department records brought renewed attention to her past communications with Epstein. Emails show that she sought career advice from him while exploring a move from Latham & Watkins to Facebook in 2018 and referred to him in messages as “Uncle Jeffrey.” The correspondence also mentioned gifts she received from him. Reports previously revealed that the two had numerous meetings during the 2010s, years after Epstein had served a prison sentence related to prostitution offenses involving minors.The committee's inquiry focuses on whether Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell used relationships with influential individuals to gain protection or influence while operating their sex-trafficking scheme. Lawmakers are also examining the federal government's handling of the investigation and the circumstances surrounding Epstein's death in a Manhattan federal jail in 2019.Along with Ruemmler, Gates and Black received similar requests for testimony. Gates has indicated he is willing to cooperate and answer questions from the committee. Black, meanwhile, is also facing a proposed class action accusing Apollo and its leadership of misleading investors about their connections to Epstein, allegations the firm has publicly denied.Other individuals asked to appear include Epstein's former assistants, political adviser Doug Band, and Gateway co-founder Ted Waitt. The committee has already interviewed several prominent figures, including former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, as it continues reviewing the scope of Epstein's network and the government's response to his crimes.Goldman's Departing CLO, Gates Asked To Testify On Epstein - Law360 UKThe Justice Department quickly reversed course in an ongoing legal fight over executive orders issued by President Donald Trump targeting several prominent law firms. Late Monday, government lawyers told a federal appeals court they planned to drop their appeal after multiple federal judges ruled the orders unconstitutional. But the next day the department asked the court for permission to withdraw that dismissal request and continue defending the orders.The executive orders targeted firms including Perkins Coie, WilmerHale, Susman Godfrey, and Jenner & Block. The measures sought to restrict the firms' security clearances, government contracts, and access to federal buildings, citing concerns about their clients and hiring practices. The firms challenged the orders in court, arguing they were unconstitutional retaliation against legal advocates.Federal judges consistently sided with the firms, with one ruling describing the order against Perkins Coie as an unprecedented attack on the legal system. After those rulings, the Justice Department initially appeared ready to abandon the appeal. Its sudden reversal, however, would allow the administration to continue fighting the cases before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.The law firms criticized the shift, saying the government offered no explanation for changing its position so quickly. They reiterated their commitment to challenging what they view as an unconstitutional attempt to punish law firms for representing disfavored clients. Civil liberties advocates echoed that criticism, arguing the orders represent a misuse of presidential power.The litigation highlights a broader dispute over the limits of executive authority and the independence of the legal profession. As the appeals process continues, the courts will ultimately decide whether the executive orders can survive constitutional scrutiny.BREAKING: DOJ Nixes Plan To Drop Law Firm EO Appeals In About-Face - Law360In quick reversal, DOJ seeks to continue Trump's battle with law firmsA trial beginning in Chicago will examine claims that baby formula made by Abbott Laboratories caused premature infants to develop a serious and potentially deadly intestinal condition known as necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). The case consolidates lawsuits from four families whose premature children were born in Chicago-area hospitals between 2012 and 2019 and later developed the disease. Although the infants survived, the lawsuits say several required surgery and continue to face long-term health complications.The case is part of a much larger wave of litigation against Abbott and Mead Johnson, the manufacturer of Enfamil. Nearly 1,000 lawsuits have been filed across the country alleging that the companies failed to warn doctors that cow's milk-based formulas used in hospitals may increase the risk of NEC in premature infants. Many of those cases are consolidated in federal court in Illinois, while others are pending in state courts.Abbott denies that its formulas cause the disease and maintains that the products are medically necessary when mothers cannot produce enough breast milk. The company and other researchers point to evidence suggesting that the higher risk of NEC is linked to the absence of breast milk rather than exposure to formula itself.Previous trials involving similar claims have produced mixed results. Some juries have awarded large verdicts to families, including multimillion-dollar judgments against both Abbott and Mead Johnson, though those decisions are currently under appeal. Other cases have resulted in defense wins or retrials, and several potential bellwether cases in federal court have been dismissed.The Chicago trial, which begins with jury selection, is expected to last several weeks and could influence how the remaining lawsuits move forward. With hundreds of similar claims still pending, the outcome may play an important role in shaping the broader litigation over infant formula and NEC.Abbott set to face trial over claims premature infant formula caused deadly disease | ReutersIn this week's column, I look at a new California proposal that attempts to sidestep the federal cap on state and local tax (SALT) deductions by reclassifying vehicle sales taxes as licensing fees. The idea is simple: if the charge is treated as a property-style fee instead of a sales tax, it could fall into a category that allows taxpayers to make greater use of their federal SALT deduction. Supporters frame the proposal as middle-class tax relief and a way to reduce the amount of federal revenue flowing out of California. But while the policy is clever, its practical benefits would be limited and uneven.The proposal follows a familiar strategy used since the 2017 tax law capped SALT deductions: when one type of tax becomes less deductible, lawmakers try to redesign the tax structure so the revenue flows through a category that remains deductible. California's approach focuses on vehicle purchases, where sales taxes are currently difficult to deduct for many residents. By redefining those charges as licensing fees, lawmakers hope taxpayers could claim them alongside property taxes under the federal deduction cap.In practice, though, most lower-income taxpayers wouldn't benefit at all. Many households take the standard deduction rather than itemizing, especially after recent tax reforms increased its size. For those taxpayers, changing the label on a vehicle tax doesn't meaningfully change their federal tax bill. Even for many itemizers, the savings would likely be small.The proposal mainly helps a narrow band of higher-earning taxpayers—people with substantial state and property taxes who are still just below the federal SALT cap. For them, a vehicle purchase could generate a deductible amount that meaningfully lowers their federal tax liability. But that advantage grows with the price of the car and the taxpayer's marginal tax rate, which means the largest benefits flow to relatively affluent households.If the goal is truly middle-class relief, a more direct approach would likely work better. For example, a refundable state tax credit tied to vehicle purchases could help working families without depending on federal deduction rules or itemization. Another long-term option would be shifting some of California's tax burden from individuals to businesses, since certain business-level taxes remain deductible federally.California's proposal shows the creativity that the SALT deduction cap has sparked among state policymakers. The real question, however, is whether clever tax reclassification is the right tool—or whether more straightforward policies aimed directly at middle-income taxpayers would produce fairer and more predictable results.California SALT Deduction Proposal Is More Clever Than Helpful This is a public episode.

On Eavesdroppin' comedy podcast, Geordie & Michelle ponder whether the moon landing was a small step or a giant hoax...Do you believe the Americans really landed on the moon? Most people do, but there's always been a vocal group of conspiracy theorists who say otherwise. In this episode, Geordie dives into the origins of one of the biggest conspiracy theories of the 20th century: the idea that Apollo 11 was a hoax, plus she explores the book that first ignited public doubt and how the story spiralled into global fascination. She also looks at Cold War tensions, government cover-ups and the mysterious case of Russia's secret cosmonauts alongside the two Italian brothers who claimed to have intercepted secret radio transmissions that they believe prove something strange was going on behind the scenes of the space race. From missing astronauts to doctored footage and the politics of paranoia, this episode looks at how one small step for man became one giant leap for conspiracy.So grab a brown lemonade and settle in as the duo chat the IP hacks, telly recs and MAFS Australia, only on Eavesdroppin' comedy podcast.

Dan Nathan and Guy Adami cover PPI, upcoming earnings, and this week's jobs report. They focus on mounting stress in the AI infrastructure and financing complex: CoreWeave's post-earnings drop, heavy customer concentration, funding challenges, and Jim Chanos' critique that its GPU-leasing model loses money and shows distress-level liquidity, alongside declines in Apollo, KKR, Blackstone, and banks. They contrast Nvidia's strong quarter and 60% growth outlook with stock stagnation, discuss Broadcom as a key AI barometer, and note ongoing software multiple and margin compression highlighted by volatile moves in Workday and Salesforce. Despite rising VIX swings, falling 10-year yields, and consumer-credit concerns signaled by AmEx, Capital One, Klarna, and Walmart trade-down commentary, the S&P remains near highs; they also discuss crude's rebound amid Middle East tensions and Bitcoin weakness pressuring MicroStrategy. After the break, Jen & Kristen join Dan and Guy live from the iConnections Global Alts conference in Miami to unpack an “AI panic” market day, why higher productivity could mean higher rates, and what private credit hiccups really signal for hedge funds and alts. They also explain how The Wall Street Skinny is turning arcane finance jargon into plain English for everyone from college students to the C‑suite, plus why there are no dumb questions when it comes to bonds, credit, and careers on Wall Street.

Dr. Lawrence Kuznetz was on console during Apollo 11, helped build Space Shuttle Columbia, managed human life sciences experiments aboard the International Space Station, and is now developing next generation spacesuit technology for Mars. In this episode of Future Tech, we explore what it was like inside Mission Control during the moon landing, the technical and cultural challenges of building the Space Shuttle, the hard lessons learned from NASA's triumphs and tragedies, and what it will truly take for humans to survive on Mars. Dr. Kuznetz shares insights on risk tolerance, Cold War urgency, reusable spacecraft, human physiology in space, and why innovation in life support systems may determine humanity's future beyond Earth.Dr. Kuznetz is also featured in the upcoming documentary Before the Moon.
Stewart Alsop sits down with Ulises Martins on the Crazy Wisdom podcast to explore how artificial intelligence is fundamentally disrupting professional careers, labor markets, and the pace of human adaptation itself. They discuss everything from Dario Amodei's concept of "technological adolescence" to the possibility that we're approaching a point where AI advancement accelerates beyond our ability to keep up, touching on topics ranging from the economics of software development and the future of warfare to generational differences in how people will respond to AI-driven change. Martins emphasizes that while we may not be able to predict exactly what's coming, we need to dramatically increase our efforts to learn and adapt—potentially doubling the time we invest in understanding AI—because this isn't optional change, it's disruption happening at an unprecedented speed. Connect with Ulises on Linkedin to follow his work in AI and generative technology.Timestamps00:00 — Stewart introduces Ulysses Martins, framing the conversation around accelerationism and the future of work.05:00 — Ulises uses the parent-child analogy to argue humans will no longer play the dominant role as AI surpasses us.10:00 — Both agree learning AI is non-negotiable, urging listeners to double their investment in staying current.15:00 — Discussion shifts to software as media, the collapsing cost of building products, and the risk of big players like Anthropic making your idea obsolete overnight.20:00 — Ulises raises ecology vs. cosmic ambition, questioning whether humanity should aim for civilizational-scale goals like the Dyson sphere.25:00 — Stewart's ESP32 hardware project illustrates AI's current blind spots beyond software, while both predict physical-world AI will arrive as a byproduct of bigger industrial goals.30:00 — Tesla's birthplace in Croatia sparks a reflection on human genius as luck versus deliberate investment, invoking the Apollo program as a model.35:00 — The US-China AI race is compared to the Cold War Space Race, with interdependency acting as a brake on outright conflict.40:00 — Drone warfare and AI reframe military power, making troop size irrelevant and potentially reducing total war.45:00 — Agile methodology and generational shifts are linked, asking how Gen Z's values will shape the AI era globally.50:00 — Argentine vs. American Zoomers are contrasted, with millennial expectations versus Gen Z's pragmatism explored.55:00 — Ulises closes urging everyone to enjoy the ride, taking the infinite stream of change one episode at a time.Key Insights1. The Death of Traditional Career Paths: The concept of professional careers as we know them—starting as a junior and progressively advancing—is becoming obsolete due to AI's rapid advancement. This applies far beyond just software and SaaS companies, extending to all industries as robots and AI systems gain capabilities that fundamentally disrupt labor markets. The question isn't whether we'll adapt, but whether humans can adapt fast enough to keep pace with exponential technological change.2. The Acceleration Imperative: People must dramatically increase their investment in learning about AI immediately. Whatever time you were previously dedicating to staying current with technology needs to be doubled or tripled. This isn't optional—it's comparable to the necessity of basic education. Unlike previous technological transitions where you had years to learn new frameworks or tools, the current pace demands immediate, intensive engagement or you risk becoming irrelevant.3. Software as Media and the Collapse of Development Economics: Software has become media—easily reproducible and increasingly commoditized through AI assistance. The fundamental economics of software development are collapsing because if building software requires dramatically fewer development hours, the value and price of that software must necessarily decrease. Entrepreneurs need a new evaluation framework that assesses the risk of their ideas being replicated by AI or absorbed by major players like Anthropic or OpenAI.4. The Parent-Child Analogy for AI Development: Humanity's relationship with AI will inevitably mirror that of parents with increasingly capable children. Initially, we understand and control what AI does, but as it advances, it will surpass human capabilities in most domains. Just as parents cannot control fully grown adult children who exceed their abilities, humans will need to reconcile with creating something superior to ourselves. Attempting to permanently control such systems may be both impossible and potentially pathologic.5. The Kardashev Scale and Civilizational Ambitions: AI represents a civilizational-level technology that should redirect humanity toward grander goals like capturing stellar energy through Dyson spheres and expanding beyond our solar system. The competition between China and the United States over AI mirrors the Apollo program's space race but with higher stakes—potentially making traditional concepts like money less relevant if we successfully crack general intelligence. This requires thinking beyond planetary constraints.6. The Changing Nature of Warfare and Geopolitics: AI and autonomous weapons systems are fundamentally changing warfare by making human soldiers less relevant, similar to how nuclear weapons reduced the importance of conventional military force. This shift may actually reduce bloody civilian casualties in conflicts between major powers, as drone warfare and AI-driven systems create new equilibriums. The geopolitical map may fracture into more sovereign states and city-states as centralized control becomes less effective.7. Generational Adaptation and Unpredictability: Different generations will respond uniquely to AI disruption based on their values and experiences. Generation Z, having grown up during the pandemic without traditional expectations, may adapt differently than millennials who experienced unmet expectations. However, we must remain humble about our predictive abilities—we're not good at forecasting technological change or its timing. The best approach is maintaining openness, trying to understand developments as they unfold, and accepting that we cannot consume all information in an era of unlimited AI-generated content.
Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for March 1, 2026 is: paean PEE-un noun Paean is a literary word that refers to a song of joy, praise, or victory. It can also be used as a synonym of tribute for a work that praises or honors its subject. // Her retirement party featured many paeans for her long years of service to the company. // Critics considered the movie both a thrilling Western and a paean to the natural beauty of the Rockies. See the entry > Examples: “The show is a tender study of people struggling to do right by themselves and others. It's also a paean to Chicago, my hometown ...” — Isaac Stanley-Becker, The Atlantic, 10 Aug. 2025 Did you know? In ancient Greece, Paiā́n (or Paiṓn) was a name used for the god Apollo when in the guise of physician to the gods (Paiā́n/Paiṓn comes from the name of an older Mycenaean healer god). Paiā́n and paiṓn were also used to refer to hymns of thanksgiving and praise sung especially to Apollo, as was their Latin descendant, paean. When paean first appeared in English in the late 16th century, it was used both in the context of Greek history and in general for a joyous song or hymn of praise, tribute, thanksgiving, or triumph. Over time, the word became even more generalized, and it is now used for any kind of tribute.

Why do civilizations turn against their own greatness, and what happens when they do? In this episode of Context with Brad Harris, we trace the psychology of civilizational decline, from the Great Wall of China and the Apollo program to the Department of Justice's 2026 lawsuit against UCLA Medical School, asking why modern Western culture increasingly treats excellence as a moral threat. Drawing on Alain de Botton's book Status Anxiety and Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead, we explore how status anxiety breeds resentment, how resentment disguises itself as compassion, and how institutions captured by this cycle begin to reward narrative over competence, with consequences that can be lethal. This episode builds on my previous episodes Which Humanity Survives and Layers of Meaning in Human History to ask: do we still have the civilizational courage to revere greatness?

In 1959, the U.S. Army drafted a serious plan to build a nuclear-powered military base on the Moon.Serious... They really did.With reactors. And personnel. On purpose. It was called Project Horizon.Then JFK pivoted to Apollo, astronauts planted flags, and history books closed the case… Or did they?This week, we break down the documented Cold War Moon plans, JFK's race to beat the Soviets, MJ-12 whispers, and hacker Gary McKinnon's claim that he stumbled onto evidence of a secret space fleet and the possibility this was never really mothballed.Was Horizon just a very ambitious binder? Or was Apollo the public show while something quieter happened in the background?Join us as we separate the record from the rumors, run a thought experiment on how a hidden lunar base could work, and ask the big question: Did we just visit the Moon… or did we move in?
