This week, we're diving headfirst into nightmare fuel—Emma kicks things off with the harrowing, stomach-churning case of Unit 731. Biological experiments, human test subjects, and a level of cruelty that will make your skin crawl—yeah, it's as bad as it sounds. Then Becky lightens the mood slightly with the tale of an axe-wielding gnome terrorising a family of tourists in a small Italian forrest. Tash is along for the ride, bravely listening, gasping, and probably regretting all her life choices. Grab your headphones, a stiff drink, and maybe don't listen alone...We really hope you enjoy this week's episode, if you'd like to join us on social media you can find us @SCSK_podcast on tik tok, twitter and instagram, spine chillers and serial killers for facebook and you tube or email us at chillers.killers.pod@gmail.com.-You can find Edward October (our doorman) from Octoberpod AM here : https://open.spotify.com/show/5cESmW8JiW8O1NMrX4ul4mOr Find him on You Tube : https://www.youtube.com/@OctoberpodHomeVideoEmma's Etsy store is here if anyone wants spooky merch, only just opened so lots more to come! https://thecuriouscraftroom.etsy.com Hosted on Acast.

God's Word stands as an unchanging foundation in a world of shifting truths. The Bible's unique nature, written across millennia by multiple authors, maintains perfect consistency in its message about God, sin, and salvation. It equips believers through doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness. This divine guidance enables Christians to live distinctively from worldly values, though this difference often leads to opposition. Regular engagement with Scripture, coupled with personal application and spiritual openness, transforms lives and builds lasting faith.

Portland police let a knife-wielding maniac run free for THREE DAYS while local businesses lost money and residents fled in terror. Yet another example of absurd 'de-escalation' policies where a man who pepper-sprayed officers and lunged with a knife was deemed 'not a threat to the public.' This video breaks down how police departments nationwide are now refusing mental health calls, creating a dangerous public safety vacuum that affects everyday citizens. When cops won't respond and social workers can't handle violent situations, who exactly is protecting our communities? Is this hands-off approach what taxpayers are funding with their hard-earned money?

Adam Ritchard | 2 Chronicles 20:1-22; 2 Corinthians 10:3-4; Numbers 28:11 — We must not have a small or reduced picture of worship, for it is a powerful weapon which must be wielded rightly. Worship focuses our hearts, gives us right perspective, steadies our gaze, and invites the Lord to do what only He can.

In this episode, Patrick McKenzie (@patio11) is joined by Daniel Golliher, founder of Maximum New York, to discuss the opaque mechanics of political power and how everyday people can effectively engage with government systems. They explore the stark gap between formal political science degrees and how politics actually works, practical tactics for influencing policy (like optimizing the printability of a blog post to placing well-timed calls to legislators), and Daniel's concept of ‘blue tape'. Throughout the conversation, they emphasize that participating in governance requires far less expertise and connections than most people assume—mainly just the willingness to show up prepared. –Full transcript available here: www.complexsystemspodcast.com/understanding-and-wielding-power-in-local-government-with-daniel-golliher/–Sponsor:  VantaVanta automates security compliance and builds trust, helping companies streamline ISO, SOC 2, and AI framework certifications.

This is the noon All Local for Monday, April 14th, 2025.

A topless teenager who wielded a knife during a fight along a packed Kent seafront where hundreds of people were gathered has been in court. The brawl erupted between a large group of youths - some carrying weapons - opposite Margate's main sands last summer.Also in today's podcast, you can hear from Kent Police following an announcement named bobbies are returning to town centres across the county in a major shakeup in policing. It's part of an effort to tackle anti-social behaviour and dash perceptions the police have “abandoned” communities. An inquest has heard a kickboxer who trained at a Kent gym died from an overdose of multiple drugs in a Thai hotel room. His body was found last October, next to another man who was rushed to hospital and survived the ordeal. Plans put forward by a young business owner to revitalise part of a high street that “doesn't really offer anything” have been refused amid privacy concerns.The 22-year-old had hoped to build a two-storey development on land next to her hairdressers in New Romney.And in football, Gillingham boss Gareth Ainsworth is treating the final few games as a “free hit” for him as he looks to see which players he wants to keep with him next season.You can hear from the manager as they prepare for their match against MK Dons this weekend. 

Democrats are trying to make it even more expensive to live in Washington. UW and Gonzaga students had their visas revoked (likely for antisemitic activism on campus). Microsoft also fired multiple employees that protested at the company’s 50th anniversary meeting. Seattle Police has listed a problematic hookah lounge in Rainier Beach as a “chronic nuisance.” // Big Local: An axe-wielding man was arrested in Bremerton. An 82-year-old woman in Thurston County has gone missing. The 11-year-old that allegedly attempted to stab another child at Alderwood Middle School was turned in by their parent. // You Pick the Topic: Two trans females ending up squaring off in a pool competition after they beat all of the women.

An Idaho 17-year-old with cerebral palsy remains hospitalized after being shot at least nine times by Pocatello police. AP correspondent Jennifer King reports the incident is raising questions.

If you rob a grocery store with a machete, it's going to make the news. 33-year-old Jeffrey Bradburn made off with a cinnamon bun and some incense but was caught by police nearby when he stopped to enjoy it. The cinnamon bun, not the incense.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Strong Commanders, Weak States: How Rebel Governance Shapes Military Integration after Civil War (Cornell University Press, 2025), Dr. Philip A. Martin investigates a fundamental political challenge faced by post-conflict states: how to create obedient national militaries from the remnants of insurgent forces. When civil wars end, non-state armed groups often integrate into post-conflict militaries. Yet rebel-military integration does not always happen smoothly. In some cases, former rebels cooperate with new leaders, forming powerful national armies that underpin postwar stability. In others, they resist the authority of new leaders, maintaining clandestine armed networks that disrupt centralized state-building. Dr. Martin argues that how field commanders of non-state armed groups governed during the war explains this variation. Rebel commanders who build accountable governance systems gain strong social support from rebel-ruled communities, becoming locally embedded. Thanks to these community ties, which persist after the war, these embedded commanders have the leverage to push the central government for concessions, resist directives to disarm fighters, or even orchestrate coup d'états. Conversely, rebel commanders who governed coercively are less likely to sustain community ties. Without the ability to mobilize collective action after the war, these non-embedded commanders have stronger incentives to cooperate with new regime leaders. Wielding in-depth evidence from Côte d'Ivoire and cases of rebel-military integration elsewhere, Martin shows that good governance during wartime can—ironically—lead to poor postwar state consolidation. Rather than preparing insurgents to be successful state builders, effective rebel governance can hinder post-conflict state-building. As costly peace operations come under increasing scrutiny, Strong Commanders, Weak States offers fresh guidance on how transitions to peace can better succeed. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Portland's ongoing descent into chaos took another bizarre turn as a machete-wielding homeless man engaged in a heated argument—with a lamp post. While progressive urban centers like Portland and Seattle have grown desensitized to such incidents, this episode underscores the growing crisis of mental illness and drug addiction in America's Democrat-run cities. Rather than addressing the root causes—unchecked drug use, lenient crime policies, and failed homelessness programs—many on the left continue to push for misguided compassion, suggesting that all this man needs is “a hug.” Meanwhile, law-abiding residents must navigate city streets wondering if they'll be the next victim of random violence. Until leadership prioritizes public safety over progressive virtue signaling, cities like Portland will remain playgrounds for lawlessness, where wielding a machete in broad daylight is just another Tuesday.

Just to clarify, we're not talking about a bear succeeding at being chosen over a man in the woods. We mean the show! The Bear continues to be a favorite at TV award shows, and this year is no different. Naturally, your hosts talked about it. But first, they took a look at the show that rivalled it last year with just as many Enny wins. Succession. Your favorite hosts are joined by Professor of Race, Gender and Sexuality at Simmons University, Suzanne Leonard.The crew takes a moment to acknowledge the SAG nominees. We love when deserving people get their flowers.With The Bear being nominated, the crew decides to talk MASKulinity in the show, but first, they talk about a previous winner that reminds us all a bit too much of real life: Succession.Samantha takes us through some interesting facts about the family that Succession is based on.Suzanne lets us know what attracts her about the show. Are you a bit voyeuristic like her and Samantha are when it comes to this show? What is it about miserable rich people that draws our attention?With a quick synopsis of Succession, Samantha breaks down the similarities between the Fox News Murdochs and their fictional counterparts.. A power struggle between a father and his children for the head seat of the company, something that provides a particular comment on fatherhood, power, and MASKulinity in our current social and political moment.Why are we talking about this show? Suzanne and Samantha apprise Remoy of why it's helpful for us to dissect this type of patriarchal leadership.Suzanne makes an important note on mourning traditional media, which feels like it might be dying out, but is it?So much political, economic, and social power is concentrated in families with Murdochs, Trumps, and Maxwells, it's worth examining the BTS of these powerful families through this show.Exactly how powerful are these nepotistic families? The crew runs down the list of the Murdochs' empire and their impactful media (and legal) history and MASKulinity.SPOILER ALERT: Samantha presents some scenes from Succession for Remoy to react to. Suzanne weighs in.The fatherhood that Logan Roy displays can be mapped onto Trump's leadership of both his family and the US as a country: we sustain his legacy.Wielding real power and setting the tone for men's MASKulinity both in their families and in our larger society are staples of the all-powerful patriarchs.Suzanne highlights the ruthlessness of the powerful masculinity in the fatherhood displayed and how damaging it is to people around the folks who perform that masculinity. It is reflected in all these clips. Remoy makes a poignant point about America's need for a father figure running the country.The crew continues on to discuss crowd favorite, The Bear. Remoy points out that if Shrinking is the best way to deal with MASKulinity's woes, and Succession is the most toxic, The Bear falls somewhere in the middle.Remoy provides a great synopsis of the show, highlighting how differently it deals with masculinity compared to Succession.We examine the relationships stemming from Carmy's newfound leadership.Carmy and Syd's relationship represents a great mixed-gender leadership collaboration for this show. Richie's evolution as a person as well as the rest of the cast's reflected the power of a connected leadership.The Bear deals with mental health in an immensely different way from Succession. Carmy relies on those around him to get better while Kendall schemes while wielding power as his father does.The Bear chronicles changing dynamics in a workplace as does Succession. The three draw out the differences and few similarities between masculinities in the two shows.Suzanne highlights how class creates a different landscape than the opulent SuccessionIn our deep dive, Suzanne shares some great nuggets in her research on gender in powerful structures.We dive into questions about how family structures impacted our recent election of an all-powerful patriarch.We get into how women hold up these power structures. Suzanne's research has looked at how women's own power is garnered through all-powerful couples.Suzanne makes points on whiteness and how racial hierarchies impact this all-powerful dynamic.OK, now we're really outta here! See you soonish!

Greg Abbott, would give Texas families $10,000 per child to use towards private school tuition and other fees. Democrats have pledged to fight the effort to use public tax dollars to subsidize private school tuition, but what power do they actually have? We're listening in on City Cast Houston Host Raheel Ramzanali's conversation with State Rep. Gene Wu, the chair of the Texas House Democratic Caucus, who has some ideas on how Democrats can still make a difference this session.  Learn more about the sponsor of this February 11th episode: Visit Amarillo Want some more Austin news?

David “Golden Voice” Waldman mellifluously orated us through the week and off the ledge. We're on our own now, but first: President Why Don't You Just is out there just getting things done every minute. What things? Why? Don't ask him, he doesn't know and doesn't care. He has staff for that. But Trump, like any boss will tell you, is the only one getting things done around here. That's why he's ordering all the lazy good-for-nothing remote workers to get their asses back to office where someone can assistant manage them. There! His boss part is done, the rest is just details. On to California to find out why don't they just turn on the big water tap so people can flush their toilets on the fire? They could they just put immigrants on the fire line and… what? Details! What matters is that a lot gets done, whatever that might be. As long as things just get done, we can always go back and make corrections. Like the two DC cops who chased that kid with their SUV until he was run over. Pardon the cops, and as for the kid… That'll buff right out. Must bosses think of everything? It's up to teachers across the nation to figure out what to tell their children when an automatic weapon toting stranger enters a classroom and schoolmates disappear forever… and when that stranger wasn't sent by the Feds. Wielding government to annihilate woke weaponized government is tricky business. Might need to crack a lot of eggs to make that omelet. The Leopards Ate My Face party will sometimes have to accept that a certain number of faces will be eaten by leopards. Lauren Boebert went to check the genitalia of someone in the restroom and came up empty handed. Andrew Puzder's wife beating kept him from being labor secretary in 2017, but now he will be EU ambassador. Now, there's probably nothing in the way of him beating his wife. Several congressional Gops were happy to attend Cassidy Hutchinson's Jan. 6 testimony and texted her with details on how they would like to show her their happiness. Mike Johnson had to send his son an emergency boner alert.
