This week, the OG three Steve, Dana, and Julia dig into the visually stuffed, Marxist smorgasbord that is Boots Riley's latest film I Love Boosters. Starring Keke Palmer and Demi Moore, the candy-colored agitprop is about exploitation, the fashion world, shoplifting as class warfare, and— as they discuss—perhaps more than one movie can handle. Next they turn from Marx to Freud and analyze the critically adored reality TV phenomenon Couples Therapy, now entering its fifth season. Is the office of Dr. Orna Guralnik a site of transcendent psychological revelation or panoptic exploitation? They unpack.Finally, they talk lingvo itself by way of a recent article in Harpers by Katie Thornton about the unlikely resurgence of interest in the artificial language Esperanto.

Edition No116 | 23-03-2025 - This episode explores the interview between Tucker Carlson and President Trump's chief negotiator Steve Witkoff which Premiered March 21, 2025, on The Tucker Carlson Show.----------Of course, most of the analysis, and the million and one memes on social media that have been launched by this clown-show of a podcast miss the point. This is not a question of bad information, leading to poor strategy, and if only good information were injected into the political environment suddenly all would be well, and a sensible strategy would emerge. No this is a question of bad intent. Yes, Trump is likely sincere where he wants to end the war – because without its end, it's far harder for him to make money from it. It's far harder to stabilise the global economy and achieve declines in oil and gas prices to fire up industrial growth and lower consumer prices. It's not out of love for humanity, or a fervent desire for peace. It's about the mid-term elections and delivering tangible dividends for his base. What the Witkoff conversation lays bare, but which few seem to want to acknowledge, the bad information and repetition of Kremlin narratives is beneficial to the strategy to stop the war at any cost. And Trump, who is Witkoff's boss, not the US, its foreign policy, its citizens or legislature, no Trump is personally and literally the only commander he cares about. The lies are useful, because they have almost certainly decided that the capitulation and dismemberment of Ukraine is the easiest and fastest way to achieve peace. In their minds peace has a downside and an upside price. And they expect Ukraine to pay the downside costs, while Trump and his acolytes can achieve the upside profits. It's simply a business deal. ----------LINKS:https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2025/03/22/7504030/https://edition.cnn.com/2025/03/22/europe/witkoff-carlson-trump-russia-ukraine-talks-intl/index.htmlhttps://www.politico.eu/article/trump-envoy-claims-ukraine-agreed-to-hold-presidential-elections/https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c62zm4eqvp7o----------SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISERA project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's front-line towns.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur first live events this year in Lviv and Kyiv were a huge success.

It's a bit ironic that the Newfoundland cod moratorium helped expose the songs of fishing communities to the rest of the world. Con O'Brien and the original members of The Irish Descendants were all working in the fishing industry when they started playing together. And after the collapse of the cod stocks in 1992, the members moved full time into the music industry. An international recording contract helped them become the first Newfoundland band to record a compact disc and paved the way for others like Great Big Sea. O'Brien and The Irish Descendants will be performing at the Light House Arts Centre in Halifax on Saint Patrick's Day. This is a brief history of the band from the man who calls himself the bands lowest common denominator.

He chimes in on "Woodstock for the Witless," the rally in Ottawa over the weekend, along with Canada lifting its blood ban, the Archbishop of Canterbury's recent apology for residential schools, and Jean Charest's CPC leadership campaign. 37:31 | Canada must do more to ensure people in developing nations have access to COVID-19 vaccines. That's the message Dr. Madhu Pai intended to deliver to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development last week. The McGill University professor and Canada Research Chair in Epidemiology and Global Health explains why his message was interrupted, why he thinks Canada hasn't taken international obligations seriously, and what he hopes human beings learn from the past two-plus years.

Kurt's got a cast but he's not letting it cramp his style in an issue that compels Anna, Mav, and Andrew to question whether 1991 was a particularly sexy year for velvet (spoiler: it was). But Excalibur #44, “Witless for the Prosecution,” does more than establish the precise texture of Mr. Wagner's fur. It also compels interesting—and sometimes troubling—questions about racial representation which our guest, Dr. Patrick Hamilton, co-author of All-New, All-Different?: A History of Race and the American Superhero, is ideally equipped to tackle. We talk through Meggan's complicated quest for identity and the whiteness of the Captain Britain Corps alongside deeper meanings of Kurt's velvet fur—and whether it's ever okay to ask if you can stroke it.

With protestors taking to the streets with nooses, politicians baying for each others' blood, and extremists literally weaponising this anger online, this week we look at what it takes to protect our elected officials. How does VIP protection work, what are the difficulties a detail can face, and what sort of person would take a bullet for a PM? And just how did David draw the attention of a protective detail on a ferry on Sydney Harbour. Check your escape route before listening! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
A Tale of Two Magazines When I was in seminary (twenty years ago), we had a nickname for the Lutheran Witness. We called it the Witless. Frankly, it was not much of a witness and it was barely Lutheran. But then, something incredible happened. It got good. It may have been when Adrienne Heins took over. There were a series of editors who seemed to have a vision of making the magazine, well, a witness, and also Lutheran. Genuinely Lutheran. Authentically Lutheran. Intentionally Lutheran. Confessional, liturgical, Gnesio, and unapologetically Lutheran. Imagine that! It was also aesthetically pleasing. Not long thereafter, the souls from Dante's concentric circles (okay, not really, that is just literary license) began to weep and gnash their teeth. There were too many C's in the new and vastly improved Lutheran Witness, including, but not limited to the following “Seven C's” (with apologies to Ken Ham): Clergy Collars Chasubles Crucifixes Chalices Confessions Church Where are the pastors in ties and khakis and hipster tee shirts and silly hats? And why are there so many pastors anyway? Where are the feelgood fluff pieces? Where are the kinds of images that would appeal to non-Lutherans and progressives and opponents of the liturgy? And what's with all of this Book of Concord stuff? But weep no more, bronzies, boomers, church-growthers, imbibers of soy, and in the words of the late Reverend Professor Kurt Marquart: “little old ladies of both sexes.” For CPH has discontinued sending a free copy or two of LW to your congregation, but has started sending free bulk subscriptions of a new publication called Lutheran Life! That's Life not Lite. Gone are the pesky C's. Now we have articles and a color palette to appeal to women and older folks. Not that there's anything wrong with that. But the magazine title might be more descriptive if it were called Lutheran Lady or Boomer Lutheran. In both issues that I have looked at, the articles written by pastors feature their portraits without clericals. There isn't a single image of a crucifix, or the inside of a church, for that matter. The first issue had one brief quote from the Small Catechism - other than that, the confessions are just not there. The entire magazine seems to be a running self-serving ad campaign for various and sundry CPH books. The piece that really caught my eye was in the latest issue (221) called “The Virtual Church.” And if you look closely, it's not even an article. It says “advertisement” in the fine print. It's a slick ad masquerading as an article by a company called Vanco. Vanco is a company that benefits from “virtual church” by providing a means of making electronic payments. They are not an RSO. They have no loyalty to our Lutheran confession. But I don't believe in “virtual church.” My congregation did not have it, doesn't have it, and doesn't plan on having it. We do real church. Would you like God to virtually love you or really love you? Do you want the Lord to be virtually present, or really present. Do you want your spouse to be virtually faithful, or really faithful? Of course, the article sings the praises of “virtual” church and repeatedly orders us to “follow local laws.” They are promoting “church apps” - which, Vanco just so happens to provide. The article tells us to disinfect stuff and wear masks. Once again, the corporate suits are clueless. We pastors have been on the front lines of all of this nonsense since day one. Moreover, different states have different situations. Do these knuckleheads really think they're being helpful? And who at CPH thought this was something we need to read? Did this “article,” (read advertisement) - and does this magazine itself - go through doctrinal review? The person I spoke with at CPH didn't know. I played phone tag with a manager there and just gave up. Ultimately, it doesn't seem to matter. And what's with the stock photo of fake soldiers on page 18? No insignia, name-tapes, or any identifying mark. These are models wearing costumes. We have authentic, you know real (not virtual) military personnel in the LCMS. We have a chaplain corps. We could have authenticity. So why this fake picture? There are other criticisms I have as well, but I'll just stop now. Pastors, anything that gets put out for your church should pass the highest level of doctrinal review: the parochial level. You are the shepherd of your parish. You are the last gate of doctrinal review. I admit that I unthinkingly put the first issue out, being too trusting of the synod. I suspect I'm not the only one. The rest of these are going in the garbage. If CPH wants to be good stewards of their “free” magazine, they can take my congregation off the mailing list. Meanwhile, Lutheran Witness has vanished down the memory hole, no longer promoted by CPH (who now has its own competing magazine and incentive to hide LW under a bushel). And who is paying for this? They presumably can't eat the cost of sending a single LW to every parish, but they can print and mail bundles of 25 copies of this one? If CPH is footing the bill, maybe some of the salaries are too high. If advertisers are carrying the costs, doesn't the piper call the tune? Maybe they could work out better deals on shipping prices instead of sending us magazines that we don't want. I certainly never asked for this magazine. And while the church-growthers may excitedly promote Lutheran Life, the reality is that it is not what we need to grow the church. Even as our stale one-trick-pony Church Growth experts wend their way to the glue factory, they still keep pushing the same old tired line that the key to growing the church is to ditch the liturgy. Yawn. To use their own resource against them, a large demographic study identifies the crucial role played by fathers in the real, not virtual, growth of the church. The church needs her men to be men, to lead their families, to be their spiritual patriarchs, and to bring them to church. And so we need to start thinking about what appeals to men in the church. It's sure not pastel colors and touchy-feely articles about relationships. That has its place, but in church and society, anything and everything that could appeal to the masculine is being snuffed out. At least Lutheran Witness has a broader appeal to those who yearn for authenticity instead of just one more medium that is basically Oprah with a cross. I did find out that you can talk to your district office to get a price break on bulk orders of Lutheran Witness. It's not free, but it's not outrageously expensive either. And you can also order an affordable bulk subscription to Gottesdienst, as few as ten copies. Maybe the old saying is true: You get what you pay for.
If you really want to learn how to do something passionately then it doesn't matter how stupid you look when you are first starting out. All of us have to start from the beginning in this situation and if this is truly what you want then you will persevere regardless of what others think about this.
