  • Choking Russia...

    Can't believe the NYTs in 2026 after a decade of nitwits and grifters working out of the white house is still blaming Russia and Putin for all the world's problems....despite a former comedian and slavic clown (living in luxury in Kiev off of american largess) being the world's penultimate welfare queen. Of course, everyone knows the ultimate spot still belongs to america's middle east settler colony. Really...the rubes are catching on... could it be time for Sanger to peddle some fear about ir... more

  • The vocal fry!

    The reporting on the MAGA midterms defectors is terrific. The reporter clearly knows what she’s doing. Which is why it’s so annoying that once she sits in front of a mic in a studio- she delivers her reporting with vocal fry. We hear her speaking in the field and there’s no vocal fry.

And it makes me take you less seriously. Cuz you so... more

  • vocal fry

    I will not listen to your podcast if you feature journalist's with vocal fry. It is physically uncomfortable to listen to. I don't know if you're trying to embrace what's trendy to get a younger audience or what but this is an unprofessiinal choice. Vocal fry causes vocal strain and fatigue. It is not healthy for the body it sounds awful.

Chris Rock Has Been Thinking About Forgiveness
Q: What were the main ideas and themes you wanted to explore in Misty Green?
Rock describes misty Green as a film about Hollywood, aging, and the expiration dates we all face; he wanted to examine the internal pressures of fame and the human cost of the industry, including the balance between art and commerce and the personal toll of a long career.
When A.I. Comes for Your Purpose in Life
Q: Can you just start by explaining to us, how would you sum up the mood in math right now?
The mood is discombobulated; researchers are in various emotional stages, from exhilaration about a golden age to grief and a sense of loss of traditional hero roles in math, but there is also a provocative excitement about new possibilities.
Three Vans, a Startled Farmer and an Iranian Plot Against the U.S.
Q: What does the British public think of hosting U.S. bombers in this context?
Schmitt indicates that there is political sensitivity and uncertainty among locals and officials, with some questioning whether the long-standing U.S.-UK defense arrangement remains workable under the shadow of intensified threats.
Three Vans, a Startled Farmer and an Iranian Plot Against the U.S.
Q: Kind of like what Iranian plot?
The host probes whether the incident was a distraction or a sign of a broader, more dangerous plan, to which Schmitt notes the lack of clear evidence and suggests officials considered multiple scenarios, including potential links to weapons or drones.
Three Vans, a Startled Farmer and an Iranian Plot Against the U.S.
Q: So where does that story start?
Schmitt explains that the probe begins in a quiet English village near Fairford, where three vans and masked men triggered a massive, coordinated law enforcement response due to suspected threats tied to Iran and its proxies.
