Why does the universe produce ever more elaborate forms, from atoms and minerals to cells, organisms, brains, technology, and civilization? The familiar laws of physics can explain much of what happens in nature, but Robert Hazen and Michael Wong argue that something important has been missing: a law describing how evolving systems generate and select new forms over time. Michael Shermer speaks with Hazen and Wong about their proposed law of increasing functional information, the central idea behind their new book Time's Second Arrow. They discuss entropy and the second law of thermodynamics, the origin of life, the Cambrian explosion, emergence and complexity, Stephen Jay Gould and evolutionary contingency, whether evolution has a direction, and why the same basic process of variation and selection may apply far beyond biology.  Shermer also presses them on what evidence could falsify their theory, whether AI could evolve far faster than biological organisms, and the biggest question of all: Does any of this imply that the universe has a purpose? Robert M. Hazen, a geoscientist at the Carnegie Institution for Science, is the author of Symphony in C, among other titles. Michael L. Wong is a planetary scientist and astrobiologist at the Carnegie Institution for Science.

I have been surprised, and not surprised, by two aspects of the Opportunity Party. 1) I'm not surprised by the media's fascination, 2) I am surprised at the amount of angst shown by people increasingly alarmed at the prospect they may be heading for Parliament and some sort of influence. The media, and especially digital media, sadly require these days astonishing amounts of content for the constant churn appetite that they, ironically, have created and so a shiny new political party was always going to get plenty of attention. But I have never seen the angst this party has created among those who write, text, and talk to me. Small parties have come and gone; Social Credit, Values, the Alliance Party, various forms of the Māori Party, United – they've all had a burst of sunlight. United got the worm and flew for a while but even in its original guise as TOP, they never came close to the noise the Opportunity Party creates at the moment. Here is the good news —unless you are an actual fan of theirs— they will get a level of exposure that will ultimately see them combust. Even Helen Clark on social media yesterday called it fantasy dressed as policy. The leader of the party appeared on Q&A and got roasted. Every time she fronts, as articulate as Ms Wong may be, a new chink in the Opportunity armour is exposed. The latest is this mad board overruling elected MPs. Now, far from being frightening, this is all good stuff. This is democracy in action. There is nothing to be fearful of here. Knowledge is always power and in this case the knowledge is what leads to Opportunity most likely not getting across the 5%. This country is not up for upheaval. We don't want, or vote for, upheaval. We vote for variations of what we get sick of, hence bits of National morph into NZ First or ACT, and bits of Labour turn into the Greens, or Alliance, or United. Opportunity is a lab experiment, hence the media interest and alarmism. They are not serious people. Helen Clark sees it, I see it, Luxon saw it when he ruled them out. By November 7th enough of the rest will see it as well. So relax. As you were. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Stan Wong, portfolio manager at Scotia Wealth Management, shares his outlook on North American Large Caps & ETFs.

The Opportunity Party confesses its tax and welfare reform plans wouldn't happen in one term as an avenue emerges for it to join a right-bloc Government. The latest 1 News-Verian poll shows neither side could form a Government without Opportunity. National's Christopher Luxon has ruled out the idea. But ACT leader David Seymour says he's open to it, if Opportunity drops its universal basic income and land tax policy. Opportunity's Qiulae Wong says she may be able to work around that. "I think what we would love to do is have a seat at the table to explore them with potential coalition partners with the other parties in Parliament, and also have more of an opportunity to share that with the public."

In today's episode, Claire is joined by Dr. Briana Wong Smoak to discuss the “civilizing mission” associated with French Catholic missionary activity in West Africa through the often-obscured experiences of Indigenous midwives who worked within, alongside, and sometimes beyond the mission of Francis Aupiais. Briana Wong Smoak started at Baylor as a Lecturer in the World Religions area in August 2025, after having previously worked at Phillips Theological Seminary and Wake Forest University School of Divinity. She takes great delight in her role as a teacher, seeking to help students grow as they continue to discern their callings. Briana is passionate about the biblical mandate for justice and encourages her students to live into God's heart for those on the margins. Briana's academic work centers on Christianity in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, and how Christians in the West might be able to learn more about following Jesus by listening to the voices of those from other parts of the world.

It's Marvel Monday and reality itself is at stake! ABOUT DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS Doctor Strange teams up with a mysterious teenage girl who can travel across multiverses, to battle other-universe versions of himself which threaten to wipe out the multiverse. They seek help from the Scarlet Witch, Wong and others. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS 2022 | Theatrical Release CAST & CREW OF DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS Director: Sam Raimi Writers: Michael Waldron, Stan Lee, Steve Ditko Cast: Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Stephen Strange Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch Benedict Wong as Wong Xochitl Gomez as America Chavez Rachel McAdams as Dr. Christine Palmer BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS The movie kicks off with a demon chasing a girl named America Chavez. A variant of Doctor Strange shows up searching for the Book of Vishanti. Doctor Strange is killed and America accidentally creates a portal to our Doctor Strange's universe. While at Christine's wedding, Strange sees a monster attack happening. So he goes and rescues this girl who he remembered from his dream. America explains that the beings are hunting her because she has the power to travel through the multiverse, but is unable to consciously control it. Doctor Strange goes to talk to Wanda about these demons but realizes that she is actually responsible for the attacks. She acquired the Darkhold and is now going full Scarlet Witch. Wanda believes that taking America's powers and traveling through the multiverse will allow her to reunite with Billy and Tommy, the kids she created. When Strange refuses to surrender America, Wanda shows up and starts killing sorcerers. Scared, America accidentally transports the two of them to another Earth. Wanda uses the Darkhold to "dreamwalk", taking control of her Earth-838 counterpart who lives a suburban life with her own Billy and Tommy. Doctor Strange and America are captured by this Earth's Sorcerer Supreme, Karl Mordo, and brought before the Illuminati, to help decide what to do with them. They explain that through reckless use of their universe's Darkhold in an attempt to defeat Thanos, Earth-838's Strange triggered a universe-destroying "incursion". After defeating Thanos, the Illuminati executed their Strange to prevent him from causing more harm. So they're finding it hard to trust our Doctor Strange. Wanda shows up and kills all the Illuminati except Mordo. Doctor Strange helps free America with the help of this Earth's Christine. The three of them go to find the Book of Vishanti, which holds the secret to free them of the Darkhold, but Wanda appears and destroys it. She then takes over America's mind and uses her powers to send Doctor Strange and Christine to a universe wasteland. Our Doctor Strange defeats the destroyed universe's Doctor Strange, who has been corrupted by his Darkhold, and then uses that Darkhold to dreamwalk. With Wong's help, Doctor Strange saves America from Wanda and encourages her to use her abilities. America goes to find Wanda where she sees Wanda's kids crying for their real mom. Realizing she goofed, Wanda gives up and uses her powers to bring down all copies of the Darkhold throughout the multiverse and sacrifices herself in the process. Everyone returns to their own universes except America who stays to train with Doctor Strange who now has a third eye. We then see Doctor Strange be approached by a mystery person who warns that his actions have triggered an incursion that he must help repair and he follows her into that universe.

Empire, Race, and Print Culture in the Black Pacific (Cambridge University Press, 2026) is an Element which centers the 'Black Pacific' as a generative site for comparative and intersectional methodologies and transnational frameworks for thinking about racial formations, post-national literary forms, and cultural histories. At the end of the nineteenth century, US overseas expansion into the Pacific brought white supremacy and colonial rule into alignment. It also threw into greater relief the contradictions of US citizenship and national identity as legalized segregation and rising anti-Black violence foreclosed Reconstruction's possibilities. Race accrued dynamic new meanings in the age of new imperialism. Focusing on the earliest of African American literary magazines, the Boston-based Colored American Magazine (1900–09) and its southern rival, the Atlanta-based Voice of the Negro (1904–7), in this Element, Dr. Edlie L. Wong examines the formative role of magazine and periodical writings in the development of early Black transpacific internationalism. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose 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.

ACT's talking up the long terms benefits of letting pharmacies deliver more healthcare. Leader David Seymour's promised to expand pharmacy powers if re-elected to Government - and let patients collect meds after-hours from electronic lockers. The proposal authorises pharmacists to assess and treat more conditions in place of a GP. Mangawhai Pharmacy director Lanny Wong says the workforce and the funding will also need an additional boost under this scheme. "I think the skillsets are there, but the workforce is probably the questionable part. Pharmacies, like every other health sector are struggling with the workforce, so that's something that requires a few more interventions."

Off the back of reaching 8 percent in the latest Roy Morgan poll, the Opportunity Party has released their long term plan for funding infrastructure. Opportunity says it will direct 60 percent of infrastructure spending to maintenance and raise up to $60 billion over ten years through a new infrastructure fund. Party leader Qiulae Wong says these costs will be covered by additional borrowing. "We do believe that New Zealand's balance sheet is in good enough order, particularly to borrow to invest in our future. I think what we've seen is a bit of a simplification of the debts."

ust when you thought Democrats had hit peak crazy, Wisconsin said, "Hold my kombucha." Francesca Hong is running for governor with a platform of abolishing police and ICE, trashing American holidays, and threatening President Trump's life. The Democratic civil war is officially a communist takeover. Bernie Sanders' handpicked candidate Abdul El-Sayed is surging in Michigan as the party's socialist wing turns its fire on establishment Democrats. Even Bill Maher, James Carville, and longtime liberals are sounding the alarm, while CNN is making sure nobody calls it "communism." The "Save Our Bacon Act" sounds patriotic, but really it's a gift to a Chinese-owned pork giant. Congress wants to override state animal welfare laws, crush local control, and hand more power to Big Pork. ► Catch up on my H-1B Visa Investigations: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkJEwf2wliqrtNlYs9D78nmE_Gnja_PpC ► Email me at saratips@blazemedia.com if you have uncovered potential fraud in your area. ► Subscribe to my second YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SaraGonzalesTX?sub_confirmation=1 ► Home Title Lock: Go to https://hometitlelock.com/sara and use promo code SARA to get a FREE title history report and a FREE TRIAL of the Triple Lock Protection!

Randy and Aaron talk about last week's interview with Martin Kendall Wong.

Chuck Todd opens with the Iran war's arrival on American soil: hackers have hit water systems across multiple states in one of the most serious cyberattacks on U.S. water infrastructure in years and investigators probing an Iranian link. Trump's response tells you everything about the presidency in its current state — he didn't blame the attacker, he blamed the victim, using the hack as an occasion to attack Minnesota Democrats. Chuck’s question hangs over the whole segment: was Trump briefed on the Iranian connection and went after Minnesota anyway? Either way, the first instinct was to find a Democrat to blame, which Chuck calls a kind of polarization disease that leaves a president caring more about his narrative than about American citizens drinking the water. It fits a pattern the episode keeps circling: Jeanine Pirro presented false evidence to a grand jury blaming a former Olympian for damage to the White House reflecting pool, dropped the case when Interior produced documents proving otherwise, and Trump publicly disagreed with dropping it because he still insists it was vandals. Chuck argues negative information never reaches Trump, and people who bring him bad news don't last long — which is how you end up with a president insisting affordability is a Democratic scam Then, Chuck highlights a Wall Street Journal piece that lays out Trump's corruption — roughly $800 million raised through what amounts to an advertised pay-to-play scheme. Anti-corruption is a devastating midterm message sitting right there for Democrats to pick up… then Chuck Schumer rolled out a bill that Chuck calls a piece of garbage: it wouldn't even cover the conduct in the WSJ story, it's likely unconstitutional because it names individuals, and — most absurdly — it creates a new anti-corruption agency inside the executive branch, meaning a corrupt president would appoint its director and seven board members and, per the Supreme Court, could fire them at will. Congress can already do every bit of the oversight the agency would perform and Schumer's answer to executive corruption is to hand the executive more power and write Congress out of its own job. He closes on Michigan and Wisconsin as the clearest signals of where the Democratic Party is headed — Abdul El-Sayed running a movement inside a Senate race with the explicit goal of changing the party, DSA-endorsed Francesca Wong leading in Wisconsin while the establishment fails to coordinate against her — and on the DSA's new call to abolish the Senate, which Senate Democrats pushed back on without ever defending the institution. Chuck defends it himself: the Senate is a feature, not a bug, a brake on political extremism, and the right response to losing an argument is to win it rather than rewrite the rules. Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit Watergate and Richard Nixon’s resignation, and answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.

Chuck Todd opens with the Iran war's arrival on American soil: hackers have hit water systems across multiple states in one of the most serious cyberattacks on U.S. water infrastructure in years and investigators probing an Iranian link. Trump's response tells you everything about the presidency in its current state — he didn't blame the attacker, he blamed the victim, using the hack as an occasion to attack Minnesota Democrats. Chuck’s question hangs over the whole segment: was Trump briefed on the Iranian connection and went after Minnesota anyway? Either way, the first instinct was to find a Democrat to blame, which Chuck calls a kind of polarization disease that leaves a president caring more about his narrative than about American citizens drinking the water. It fits a pattern the episode keeps circling: Jeanine Pirro presented false evidence to a grand jury blaming a former Olympian for damage to the White House reflecting pool, dropped the case when Interior produced documents proving otherwise, and Trump publicly disagreed with dropping it because he still insists it was vandals. Chuck argues negative information never reaches Trump, and people who bring him bad news don't last long — which is how you end up with a president insisting affordability is a Democratic scam Then, Chuck highlights a Wall Street Journal piece that lays out Trump's corruption — roughly $800 million raised through what amounts to an advertised pay-to-play scheme. Anti-corruption is a devastating midterm message sitting right there for Democrats to pick up… then Chuck Schumer rolled out a bill that Chuck calls a piece of garbage: it wouldn't even cover the conduct in the WSJ story, it's likely unconstitutional because it names individuals, and — most absurdly — it creates a new anti-corruption agency inside the executive branch, meaning a corrupt president would appoint its director and seven board members and, per the Supreme Court, could fire them at will. Congress can already do every bit of the oversight the agency would perform and Schumer's answer to executive corruption is to hand the executive more power and write Congress out of its own job. He closes on Michigan and Wisconsin as the clearest signals of where the Democratic Party is headed — Abdul El-Sayed running a movement inside a Senate race with the explicit goal of changing the party, DSA-endorsed Francesca Wong leading in Wisconsin while the establishment fails to coordinate against her — and on the DSA's new call to abolish the Senate, which Senate Democrats pushed back on without ever defending the institution. Chuck defends it himself: the Senate is a feature, not a bug, a brake on political extremism, and the right response to losing an argument is to win it rather than rewrite the rules. Then, Dr. Brian King — the former director of the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products, who was placed on administrative leave in April 2025 as part of the mass HHS layoffs joins the Chuck Toddcast to explain what happens to public health when the agency charged with protecting it gets deliberately dismantled. King walks through the extraordinary progress America made reducing cigarette smoking over decades, and how quickly that's being unwound: the tobacco industry donated millions to Trump's PAC, executives pressured the White House directly, and the payoff has been regulatory capture and mounting pressure on the FDA to bring flavored products back to market. He's clear-eyed rather than absolutist on the science — combustible products are far and away the most harmful, nicotine itself is highly addictive but isn't what's killing people, though it's genuinely not risk-free for the adolescent brain — and he walks Chuck through the comparison to caffeine, the data on whether vaping serves as a gateway back into smoking, and what's actually known about nicotine pouches, where youth usage isn't high but stubbornly isn't declining either. The industry, meanwhile, is spending roughly a million dollars an hour advertising its products while fighting every government action to reduce smoking. The conversation turns to what actually works and what's being abandoned. King argues the two most effective interventions available are reducing nicotine levels in cigarettes and banning menthol, credits Congress for getting the Tobacco Control Act right, and stresses that Congress — not the FDA acting alone — has to be the one to regulate tobacco, which is precisely why sidelining the agency is so damaging. He and Chuck get into the questions nobody in Washington wants to answer: why are cigarettes legal at all, how are sugary alcoholic beverages not treated in the same category, and where did the money from the 1998 master settlement actually go. King is pointed that the MAHA movement, for all its rhetoric about chronic disease, has done nothing prominent on tobacco, and that the FDA is now actively undermining both the science and the law it was built to enforce. His closing warning is the bleakest note of the episode: America is in a public health apocalypse that will take decades to repair, it will be enormously hard to recruit a next generation into the field, the entire world will be harmed by the collapse of American public health infrastructure — and the impacts are only just beginning to show up. Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit Watergate and Richard Nixon’s resignation, and answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.

Kevin Warsh's new communications approach may be creating more uncertainty for markets, not less. Anna Wong, Bloomberg Economics chief US economist, joins Ira Jersey, Bloomberg Intelligence chief US interest-rate strategist, on this Macro Matters edition of the FICC Focus podcast. Wong discusses why Warsh's latest press conference appeared to contribute to the selloff in long-dated Treasuries, how his reluctance to provide a clear policy framework raised questions about the Fed's commitment to its inflation target and what changes could emerge from the central bank's communications task force. They also examine whether the Fed could adopt Bank of England-style explanations of individual dissents, publish scenario analyses and reduce its reliance on the dot plot. Wong explains why she expects softer inflation and labor-market data to keep the Fed on hold for the rest of 2026, and how the recent rise in real yields could slow housing, industrial production and broader financial conditions. The Macro Matters podcast is part of BI's FICC Focus series.

Twenty-five years ago, on a clear Tuesday morning in September, the world changed in the span of 102 minutes. This week on Investigation Insiders, Forhad sits down with Wesley Wong, who retired from the FBI as a Senior Executive after a thirty-year career as a Special Agent — including leading the Bureau's Technical and National Security Branches in New York and investigating Organized Crime, Counter-Intelligence, and Counter-Terrorism matters. On September 11, 2001, Wes was the FBI's on-scene commander at Ground Zero, and in the attack's aftermath he stood up the Bureau's largest-ever Fusion Center.Since leaving the Bureau, Wes has held senior business development roles at Acxiom, EDS, and Boeing Defense, and today serves as a Senior Advisor to U.S. Special Operations Command at MacDill Air Force Base and a Senior Fellow at the U.S. Air Force Special Operations School.In this candid, unhurried conversation, Wes walks us through the morning minute by minute — what he remembers most, the moments of humanity inside the chaos, the colleagues he lost, and what it feels like to carry this story a quarter-century later. This is a conversation about memory, service, and what time does, and doesn't, heal.Connect and learn more about Wes on Linkedin at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wesley-wong76/Send your comments and/or questions to info@integrasintel.com.

This month on Laura Flanders & Friends we're lifting up the people, the stories, and the ideas driving disability justice forward.  This week we celebrate the life and legacy of Alice Wong with two of her closest collaborators, reflecting on the movement she helped to build. This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate Description: Alice Wong lived longer than she expected, but not long enough. The celebrated disability activist lived by the principle that disability justice is integral to all liberation movements, and centered disabled stories with the Disability Visibility Project. When Alice Wong died on November 14 at the age of 51, people across social movements shared their grief and awe for her work, such as her bestselling 2022 memoir, “Year of the Tiger: An Activist's Life”. She has been called an oracle, visionary, unapologetic and fearless, and our guests, Wong's dear friends and collaborators, are committed to lifting up her legacy. Sandy Ho is the Executive Director of the Disability & Philanthropy Forum and partner with Alice Wong and Mia Mingus in the Access is Love campaign. She was asked by Alice Wong to post her letter after she passed, where Wong writes “. . . our wisdom is incisive and unflinching.” Steven Thrasher is an acclaimed journalist, professor and author of “The Viral Underclass: The Human Toll When Inequality & Disease Collide”.

Arif Abdulla joined Nurse Next Door at twenty-three years old, fresh out of university, drawn by the demographics and financial potential of home care. Then he met Mrs. Wong — and watched her caregiver Steven doing her hair and makeup every morning, making her feel beautiful. When Steven walked into the office months later with tears streaming down his face because Mrs. Wong had passed, Arif realized this business was about something much deeper than logistics. Twenty years later, he's VP of Franchise Development for a company that grew from one Vancouver location to more than four hundred franchise units across Canada, the US, the UK, and Australia.Bill and Arif dig into what it takes to scale a deeply human, community-based business through franchising. The conversation covers why Nurse Next Door chose the franchise model over corporate expansion — the business is so community-focused that they needed local leaders embedded in their markets. Arif shares the three traits he looks for in franchise partners: sales aptitude, leadership ability, and genuine work ethic. He's candid about the mistakes made early on by accepting partners who weren't the right fit, and how he now has the discipline to end a process even when a candidate is ready to write the check.The episode also explores Nurse Next Door's key differentiator — centralizing the 24/7 scheduling component so franchisees can focus on recruiting and sales rather than burning out on around-the-clock operations.In This EpisodeGuest LinksArif Abdulla — VP of Franchise Development, Nurse Next Doornursenextdoorfranchise.com | nursenextdoor.comHost LinksScalingCoach.com | Q20 Growth Diagnostic: scalingcoach.com/Q20 | busyisbroken.comMentioned in this episode:Busy Is BrokenHave you ever had a week where you're completely slammed but somehow nothing actually moved?

It's Marvel Monday and we're entering the Ten Rings! ABOUT SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS Shang-Chi, the master of weaponry-based Kung Fu, is forced to confront his past after being drawn into the Ten Rings organization. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS September 3, 2021 | Theatrical Release CAST & CREW OF SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS Director: Destin Daniel Cretton Writers: Dave Callaham, Destin Daniel Cretton, Andrew Lanham Cast: Simu Liu as Shaun/Shang-Chi Awkwafina as Katy Tony Leung Chiu-wai as Xu Wenwu Ben Kingsley as Trevor Slattery Meng'er Zhang as Xialing Fala Chen as Li Michelle Yeoh as Ying Nan BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS A thousand years ago, a dude named Xu Wenwu discovers the mystical ten rings which grant godly powers including immortality. He gains crazy power and wealth for the next 1000 years. In 1996, Wenwu searches for Ta Lo, a village said to harbor mythical beasts. He travels through a magical forest to the village entrance but is stopped by a guardian, Ying Li. They flirt via fighting and fall in love. They end up having two kids, Shang-Chi & Xialing. In the present day, Shang-Chi works as a parking valet in the States with his best friend Katy. One day, they are attacked on a bus by men who steal a pendant that Li gave to Shang-Chi. We find out that the Ta Lo villagers rejected Wenwu so Li chose to leave with him. Wenwu abandoned his organization and locked away the ten rings. But clearly something's happened! Shang-Chi & Katy go to find Xialing, because they assume it was the Ten Rings that took his pendant and will go after the matching one Xialing has. They find Xialing at a secret fight club which she founded after escaping from Wenwu at 16. The Ten Rings attack the fight club and capture Shang-Chi, Katy, & Xialing. At the Ten Rings' compound, Wenwu uses the pendants to reveal a mystical map leading to Ta Lo. Wenwu explains that he has heard Li calling and believes she has been held captive in Ta Lo behind a sealed gate. He plans to destroy the village unless they release her. But that's not possible because she's dead. When Shang-Chi is seven years old, Li is murdered by Wenwu's enemies, the Iron Gang. Knowing his dad is crazy, they are like nah. We aren't helping you. They escape with the aid of disgraced actor Trevor Slattery and his mystical friend Morris, who guides them through the enchanted forest to Ta Lo. The group meets Li's sister Ying Nan who makes sure they are trained up. Wenwu and the Ten Rings arrive and attack. Wenwu overpowers Shang-Chi, and attacks the Gate he thinks his wife is being held behind. Turns out it's not his wife, it's the Dweller-in-Darkness. Wenwu saves Shang-Chi but is killed by the Dweller-in-Darkness. He gives the rings over to Shang-Chi before he dies. Shang-Chi and company are able to slay the Dweller-in-Darkness. Afterward, Shang-Chi and Katy return to San Francisco where no one believes their story. The sorcerer Wong shows up to get them. In a mid-credits scene, Wong introduces Shang-Chi and Katy to Bruce Banner and Carol Danvers and the group discusses the origins of the rings.

This month on Laura Flanders & Friends we're lifting up the people, the stories, and the ideas driving disability justice forward.  This week we celebrate the life and legacy of Alice Wong with two of her closest collaborators, reflecting on the movement she helped to build. This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate Description: Alice Wong lived longer than she expected, but not long enough. The celebrated disability activist lived by the principle that disability justice is integral to all liberation movements, and centered disabled stories with the Disability Visibility Project. When Alice Wong died on November 14 at the age of 51, people across social movements shared their grief and awe for her work, such as her bestselling 2022 memoir, “Year of the Tiger: An Activist's Life”. She has been called an oracle, visionary, unapologetic and fearless, and our guests, Wong's dear friends and collaborators, are committed to lifting up her legacy. Sandy Ho is the Executive Director of the Disability & Philanthropy Forum and partner with Alice Wong and Mia Mingus in the Access is Love campaign. She was asked by Alice Wong to post her letter after she passed, where Wong writes “. . . our wisdom is incisive and unflinching.” Steven Thrasher is an acclaimed journalist, professor and author of “The Viral Underclass: The Human Toll When Inequality & Disease Collide”. He was suspended from teaching classes after speaking out — as Wong also did — on Palestine. Join us as we celebrate Alice Wong and ask what is the work to be done when it comes to healthcare and civil rights for disabled people. Plus a commentary from Laura on imagining the next 100 years. “A lot of Alice's advocacy was focused around the systems that force disabled people to be at the margins . . .

The worst thing that can happen to an elite bencher might be the exact psychological reset needed to save their career. Before Jordan Wong could break all-time world squat records and scale a massive commercial gym facility, he had to navigate a catastrophic, full-tendon pec rupture without health insurance and a surgeon who treated him like a dumb meathead. By ripping up the traditional six-week immobilization protocol on day three and treating his recovery like a full-time corporate job, he discovered a counterintuitive approach to training longevity that most lifelong lifters ignore until it is far too late. INSIDE THIS CONVERSATION The Day-Three Rebellion: Why abandoning traditional medical timelines and ignoring the six-week sling protocol saved his chest from locking up with crippling scar tissue. Auditing the Ego: The brutal reality of time-tracking your daily habits and why looking like an idiot on paper prevents empty training sessions. The Death of the Niche Gym: How shifting away from a hardcore powerlifting aesthetic to embrace gen-pop members drove a 140% explosion in revenue. The 10% Jump Trap: Why male coaches consistently ruin their girlfriends' lifting progress on the bench press by ignoring the strict math of structural percentages. Chasing the Exit: The stark biological warning against migrating to Masters divisions just to chase rankings and satisfy a fading competitive identity. MEET THE GUEST Jordan Wong is a two-time all-time world record squat holder, elite powerlifter, and the founder of Showcase Strength & Fitness in North Port, Florida. After a devastating full-tendon pec tear threatened to permanently sideline his competitive career, he leveraged the injury to completely overhaul his approach to training economics and high-performance longevity. Today, he translates that hard-earned physical resilience into business metrics, scaling his facility's footprint while cultivating a results-driven, community-first culture that bridges the gap between elite lifters and everyday athletes.

Many claim the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution guarantees that they do. Are they right? Amy Swearer, Senior Legal Fellow at the Heritage Foundation, confronts this question head-on. PragerU 3.45M subscribers 5,880 views Premiered Jun 30, 2026 5-Minute Videos Transcript: What Is Birthright Citizenship? Presented by Amy Swearer Does the Constitution grant citizenship to anyone born in the United States? Even the children of people who've entered the country illegally? Or the children of foreign tourists who owe our country no allegiance? That's the question underlying the controversial issue of birthright citizenship. Many people today take it for granted that the answer is yes: if you're born on American soil, you're an American citizen. Period. End of issue. But is that what the Constitution says? Let's first look at the text of that document, specifically the Fourteenth Amendment. It reads, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States...” Case closed, right? Not so fast. The key phrase here is, “subject to the jurisdiction thereof…” — it creates a second condition for birthright citizenship beyond merely being born on American soil. But it also raises another question: who is born subject to U.S. jurisdiction? To answer that question, we need some historical context. The Fourteenth Amendment was ratified in 1868, just three years after the end of the Civil War. Its purpose was to rectify the infamous 1857 Supreme Court decision Dred Scott v. Sandford, in which the Court declared that black Americans were not and could never be citizens. Even after slavery was abolished in 1865, Dred Scott technically remained the law of the land. Black Americans were left in limbo—they were no longer slaves, but they still were not citizens. The Fourteenth Amendment resolved the issue, once and for all. These newly freed slaves and their descendants were certainly born “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States. This had been their home for generations. If they were not American citizens, to which other nation did they still belong? So while the Fourteenth Amendment resolved the issue as it related to race, its authors would have been shocked to learn that we now interpret these words to make citizens of virtually anyone born on U.S. soil, under all circumstances. As Yale Law Professor William C. Robinson explained in his 1875 legal treatise, the Fourteenth Amendment grants citizenship only to those “born within the jurisdiction and allegiance of the United States”—a condition that requires, at minimum, lawful permanent residence in this country. This was also the original understanding of the federal government. In 1885, for example, the State Department rejected the citizenship claim of a man named Richard Greisser. Yes, Greisser had been born in Ohio eighteen years earlier, but his German parents never intended to stay in the United States. They returned with their son to Germany shortly after his birth. Because Greisser's parents did not owe the United States political allegiance, their son wasn't born subject to its jurisdiction, at least not within the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment's citizenship clause. Similarly, in 1890, the Justice Department considered the citizenship claim of a child born to one Mary Devereaux, a pregnant Irish woman being held on a ship in New York Harbor. While awaiting immigration approval, Devereaux left the ship for medical treatment and subsequently gave birth in a New York hospital. Authorities later denied her immigration application. Because Devereaux wasn't eligible for lawful admission to the U.S., her U.S.-born daughter was not recognized as a U.S. citizen. Both mother and child were sent back to Ireland. The Supreme Court addressed the question of birthright citizenship in the 1898 case of United States v. Wong Kim Ark. Wong was born and raised in San Francisco, the son of Chinese immigrants. In 1895, after a short trip to China, Wong returned to the U.S., only to be detained by authorities and threatened with deportation. Wong sued, arguing that he was an American citizen by birth. The Supreme Court agreed. Access the full transcript here...
