Always Test Your Hopium
The news is full of encouraging signs for Democrats. Is it all too good to be true?
Dan and Jon react to Republican candidates running away from Trump on Iran, then break down the latest polls — including a surprising Times/Siena result from Maine — to take a sober look at the range of outcomes (all of them good!) that are reasonable to expect.
Plus, a big win for freedom of the press and an eye-opening new warning about furries in the cockpit. Then, Tommy talks to activist and athlete Colin Kaepernick about life after the NFL, and his new book "The Perilous Fight."

The Pope is fretting about frontier AI — what’s the EU’s answer?
European lawmakers this week called for the EU’s artificial intelligence regulations to hold American tech companies liable for the risks their most advanced models pose to humanity. But how much sway does Europe have in an arms race dominated by the U.S. and China? Host Anne McElvoy has been in Berlin attending WELT’s AI Summit, which brings together the AI and tech business leaders from across Europe with other interested parties. They include Cardinal Michael Czerny, who Pope Leo recently appointed to chair the Vatican’s Commission on AI. He tells Anne that European politicians need to heed warnings over the development of frontier AI models and enter a dialogue with the Catholic Church. She also explores the wider questions of AI regulation with Axel Voss, who sits on the European Parliament’s Committee on Legal Affairs, and Pieter Haeck, senior technology reporter at POLITICO.

« L’extrême droite prépare un coup d’État institutionnel »
L’extrême droite n’arrive jamais seule au pouvoir, elle a besoin d’aide, de complicités : politiques, économiques, médiatiques, culturelles. Et là-dessus, l’histoire est riche d’enseignements, voire de parallèles troublants avec le présent.
Dans « À l’air libre », place à trois regards pour analyser ce phénomène.

Iran Is Draining America’s Missile Defenses (w/ Paul Scharre, Former US Army Ranger)
Between cheap-to-produce drones and artificial intelligence, the future of warfare may already be here. Paul Scharre, former US Army Ranger and executive vice president of the Center for a New American Strategy, joins former head of MI6 Sir Richard Dearlove and co-host John Raine to discuss how drones and AI are reshaping military conflict and militaries themselves. Scharre explains why cheap drones are beating expensive armies, how the cost asymmetry between offense and defense is reshaping the battlefield, and why the US may be losing its technological edge faster than it realizes. He also assesses Ukraine's drone revolution, the race between the US and China to adopt military AI, and why keeping humans in the loop may matter more than any weapon system.

When God Becomes a Predator: Melissa Archer Inside the 5F Ministry (Part 2)
Melissa Archer's story in 5F continues with a “deliverance,” a session conducted over speakerphone ( audio now public through Be Scofield's reporting) that turned deeply personal fast, and a follow-up call where the "prophet" asked if she was "wet" and how "thirsty" she was. That was a major crack, but not the exit.
What happened there is a masterclass in coercive control: a middle-of-the-night break-in, gunshots, and a wide-open back door that GeorDavie waved off after claiming he'd checked the "spiritual realm"; plainclothes "cops" recasting what she knew she heard; Wi-Fi that mysteriously went dead; and a one-on-one that ended with Melissa going limp—"surrendering," exactly as instructed. She came home blaming herself and tripling down, until her friend disclosed she had been assaulted and the group's response was pure pattern: Catherine called the victim a liar, and GeorDavie denied the sexual-assault allegations while reframing the recordings as a third-language misunderstanding. Melissa went to the FBI, wrote about the experience in 2022 to almost no response, and is finally being heard now, with a message for anyone judging victims: when people are taught from childhood to surrender to spiritual authority, “you're indoctrinated from an early age to be able to join a cult.”

Vrais viandards, grands gaillards ?
On imagine facilement les hommes autour du barbecue, une bière à la main et un gros steak dans l’assiette. Mais pourquoi la viande est-elle si souvent associée à la virilité ? Et pourquoi manger des animaux est-il considéré comme une manière de « faire homme » ?
Existe-t-il un lien entre la domination masculine et l’exploitation animale ? Et si oui, que peuvent avoir à se dire les luttes féministes et celles pour les droits des animaux ?
Pour en parler, Victoire Tuaillon reçoit Axelle Playoust-Braure et Yves Bonnardel, auteurs de Solidarité animale (2020, La Découverte).

E. Jean Carroll : « Les femmes qui parlent ne cherchent pas à devenir célèbres »
En 2019, E. Jean Carroll a témoigné de violences sexuelles dont elle a été victime, au milieu des années 1990, lorsque Donald Trump était promoteur immobilier à New York. Pendant des années, le président des États-Unis l’a insultée, l’a accusée de mentir et de participer à une chasse aux sorcières.
Mais la justice lui a donné raison et a condamné le milliardaire à lui payer 83 millions de dollars de dommages-intérêts, qu’elle souhaite reverser en grande partie à toutes les causes que ce président déteste.
Ce 24 septembre, E. Jean Carroll publie “Not my type”. La femme qui a fait plier Trump (Le Cherche midi).

Renee Spencer, Part 1 - When Your Daughter Joins the “Kidney Cult”
This week is part 1 with advocate and therapist Renee Spencer, whose daughter was recruited into the Jesus Christians: a group commonly referred to as the “kidney cult” for their practice of encouraging members to donate their kidneys to strangers. Renee shares about her and her daughter Ellicia’s close relationship, how Ellicia suddenly stopped contacting Renee, and why Renee tried to be accepting of her daughter’s choices–even while slowly learning that Ellicia had joined a mysterious group of traveling Christians and was being isolated from her former life.
She explains how Ellicia was initially recruited through YouTube, how Ellicia told Renee she was engaged to someone from the group after just a couple of months, and the minimal contact Renee was allowed when she visited. They discuss what she learned about Ellicia’s new husband Joseph, the whipping “trials” the group’s leader had organized to teach Joseph’s family a lesson, and how Renee discovered that her daughter’s communication had been far more controlled than she even realized.

Loyalists Only, Please. Why Trump Surrounds Himself With True Believers
More To The Story: President Donald Trump’s second term has often felt like an exercise in mass distraction. As soon as he’s directing people to pay attention to one issue like the Iran war or immigration, he’s already moved on to false claims about widespread voter fraud, taking over Greenland, or building a massive arch in the nation’s capital. In the new book Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump, New York Times reporter and co-author Jonathan Swan has tried to make sense of Trump’s unprecedented tenure by bringing readers inside the room where major decisions happen. And Swan says the loyalists Trump has surrounded himself with in his second term have made Trump’s overwhelming and exhausting presidency possible. On this week’s More To The Story, Swan talks about the immense challenges of covering the Trump administration, how the Jeffrey Epstein scandal sent the White House into crisis mode behind closed doors, and why he’s not eager to write another book about the president anytime soon.

Muse is having a moment
Are consumer agents the future — or a mirage? -
Claude Opus 5.5, GPT-6 Sol, GPT-6 Luna, and a new price war
Yesterday was Grok 4.7 (pelicans) and MiMo v2.6 Flash/Pro (more pelicans). Today Anthropic released Claude Opus 5.5, and around an hour later OpenAI released GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna. It's going to take a while to get a good read on all of these new models, but here are my impressions so far.
GPT-6 Sol and Luna are half the price of their GPT-5.6 equivalents
GPT-5.6 Luna was already my favorite model for building applications against, because it combined excellent performance with being really cheap. Somehow GPT-6 Luna is half the price of that again - and GPT-6 Sol had a similar reduction compared to GPT-5.6 Sol.
Here's what the pricing landscape looks like today:
Model Input Cached input Output GPT-6 Luna $0.10/M $0.01/M $0.50/M GPT-5.6 Luna $0.20/M $0.02/M $1.20/M Grok 4.7 $2/M $0.50/M $6/M GPT-6 Sol $2/M $0.20/M $10/M GPT-5.6 Terra $2/M $0.20/M $12/M Claude Opus 5.5 $4/M $0.20/M $20/M GPT-5.6 Sol $4/M $0.40/M $20/M Claude Fable 5.1 $10/M $0.25/M $50/M GPT-6 Astra $10/M $1/M $50/M Note that GPT-5.6 has a scheduled 25% price increase for November, so GPT-6 is half the price of the promotional pricing for those models.
(With GPT-5.6 Terra priced the same as GPT-6 Sol, any remaining reasons to use Terra just evaporated.)
It's hard to overstate how competitive this pricing is. Grok 4.7 priced itself at $2/$6, less than half the price of GPT-5.6 Sol, but is now equally priced to GPT-6 Sol on input and closer on output.
At $0.10/$0.50 GPT-6 Luna is one of the cheapest models OpenAI have ever released, beaten only by the far weaker GPT-4.1 Nano ($0.10/$0.40, April 2025) and GPT-5 Nano ($0.05/$0.40, August 2025).
I rendered pelicans for GPT-6 Luna and for GPT-6 Sol, then I combined them all together in this comparison grid along with the GPT-5.6 pelicans. I like how you can instantly see that the 5.6 family chose bolder, brighter colors, while the 6 family is a lot more muted. I still think GPT-6 Astra on max produced the best pelican.
Claude Opus 5.5 got a price cut too
Opus 5.5 looks like it addresses the biggest complaints people had about Opus in terms of its communication style. Thariq Shihipar:
Opus 5.5 is the result of your feedback.
It communicates clearly, it's cheaper per token than Opus 5.0 with the intelligence of Fable 5.1 it's very token efficient and works across every effort level.
It's also meant to be better at Blender. I'm looking forward to putting it through its paces there.
Opus 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, and 5 all shared the same price: $5/million tokens for input and $25/million for output. 5.5 is a 20% reduction - $4/million and $20/million.
The price for cache reads fell 60%. That's significant for longer agentic conversations, where 90%+ of input tokens are processed at cached token prices.
The new price for Opus 5.5 is the same as the price for GPT-5.6 Sol, but that was before OpenAI dropped their Sol prices by half.
GPT-6 Astra and Claude Fable 5.1 are both priced at $10/million input and $50/million output. The price war currently affects the next tier of models below that.
Anthropic say that Sonnet 5.5 and Haiku 5.5 are coming soon. It's going to be interesting to see if Haiku can regain its price competitiveness at the lower end, given current Haiku 4.5 is $1/$5 while the latest GPT-6 Luna is one tenth of that price at $0.10/$0.50.
Claude Opus 5.5 max over-thinks to the point of breaking
In a first for my "Generate an SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle" test, Claude Opus 5.5 at "max" thinking level failed to return a response!
It started by calling this "a classic test request", and then thought really, really hard about what it was doing:
This is a classic test request, so I want to plan out a well-composed pelican with its distinctive beak and pouch riding a bicycle with proper wheels, frame, and pedals, set against a simple sky and ground backdrop. [...]
Verifying the shin length checks out at roughly 95.2, close enough. Now I'm working out the near leg path from hip to knee to ankle, then sketching the foot shape resting on the pedal — outlining the heel, toe tips, and sole contour with a path using lines and curves to sit naturally on the pedal surface around y=478-494. [...]
I like the fish sticking prominently out of the basket with the pelican eyeing it as a fun detail worth keeping. I'm also confirming the eye placement near the bill base matches typical pelican anatomy, and considering giving it a slightly happier expression. [...]
The far leg reads correctly as passing behind the frame, so I'm moving on to check the chainring teeth and confirm layer ordering—the far crank arm should be mostly hidden by the seat tube and chainring. I'm settling on the final SVG's width and height attributes alongside the viewBox to ensure proper scaling, noting there's no text so no font-family is needed. [...]
I was so excited to see this pelican... but then it stopped. Opus 5.5 has a 128,000 maximum output token limit (as do the other Claude models), and it hit that while it was still reasoning about the SVG!
I tried a second time and got the same result. This makes me suspect that "max" is effectively useless - if it over-thinks to breaking point on a stupid SVG prompt I don't trust it not to do the same for more interesting work.
(Those two failures each cost me $2.56 and took nearly 20 minutes.)
Fable 5.1 on "max" didn't over-think and did give me the best pelican I've seen from any Anthropic model.
Here are the Opus 5.5 pelicans, excluding 5.5 max.
I also built this comparison grid comparing them with pelicans by Opus 5, Fable 5.1, and Sonnet 5:
Comparing different model vendors by how well they draw a pelican riding a bicycle may not make much sense now (if it ever did), but I'm still finding value in using them for comparisons of the same model families at different reasoning levels.
I'm now using GPT-6 Sol and Claude Opus 5.5 as my default models in Codex and Claude Code. I've upgraded the Datasette Agent demo at agent.datasette.io to use GPT-6 Luna, and it seems to be fast and competent at both SQL queries and building HTML and JavaScript for Datasette Apps.

Mardi 22 septembre, le gouvernement de Sébastien Lecornu a annoncé des mesures contre la hausse des prix, en premier lieu ceux des carburants, qui explosent à la pompe. Il présente par ailleurs ces jours-ci un budget à nouveau austéritaire, avec des clins d’œil notables à l’extrême droite.
Dans « À l’air libre », débat sur le budget, la vie chère, les salaires et ce qu’il faudrait faire, maintenant et après, pour répondre à l’urgence sociale et préparer l’avenir dans un climat déréglé.
Une émission présentée par Mathieu Magnaudeix, préparée avec Raphaël Gribe Marquis, Mathieu Mialaret et Ellen Salvi.
Avec :
- Éric Coquerel, député La France insoumise (LFI) de Seine-Saint-Denis, président de la commission des finances de l’Assemblée nationale ;
- Chloé Ridel, eurodéputée socialiste, rédactrice du projet du PS.

#564: EVE Online Departs for Python 3
Every ship in EVE Online eventually undocks and leaves the station. This time, it's the whole game. EVE has run on Python 2 since it launched in 2003, all 2.4 million lines of it, on a custom Stackless interpreter that stopped at 3.8 and was archived last year. Destination: Python 3.12. The route runs through 6,500 lines of division that decide who wins a fight, and 100 gigabytes of pickled Python objects that have to survive the jump intact. Kristinn Sigurbergsson was on this show ten years ago. He's back, with Jamie Bannister, who is flying the EVE Online migration right now, and Thomas Dähling, who took EVE Frontier through first. In EVE, a destroyed ship is gone for good. There are no do-overs, and the universe has to stay online the whole way.

Trump Bans Crooked Media
Major television networks halt White House pool coverage after Trump announces that he's banning journalists from CNN, MS NOW, and Politico.
Jon and Tommy react to Trump and JD Vance's justifications for the decision, before breaking down the details of the Ellisons' deal with the California attorney general that will allow the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger to proceed.
They then discuss the Iran war expanding to other countries, the president's call for an "AI Force" as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent negotiates with China, the Republican Party's growing cash advantage in the midterms, and Trump's announcement that his triumphal arch will now also serve as a military installation.
Then, Cait Conley, the Democratic nominee in New York's 17th District, stops by the studio to talk to Dan about her race to unseat Republican Rep. Mike Lawler.

The Cult of Theo Von
What happens when your cool older stepbrother gets a mullet, a microphone, and millions of impressionable young men listening to him yap for three hours at a time? This week, Reese finds out while covering The Cult of Theo Von, the comedian-turned-podcast juggernaut whose whole brand is built on seeming like he has absolutely no brand at all. Joining her is Hysteria host and political commentator Erin Ryan (@eringloriaryan) to talk about Von’s particular place in the manosphere. They get into the power of playing dumb, why “authenticity” can be just as manufactured as professionalism, the parasocial appeal of the endless hangout podcast, and what happens when a guy who claims not to stand for much keeps handing his enormous platform to people who very much do. Maybe the cult leader isn’t always the guy pulling the strings, sometimes he’s just the mascot standing at the mouth of the funnel.

Jev introduces a new shape of LLM - System One, aka Decision Models
Last week TypeSafe AI unveiled Jev, their first example of a new category of model that they are calling "System One models" (I'm with Maggie Appleton, I think "decision models" is a better name for these). Jev is an interesting variant on the usual LLM format: it still accepts text inputs, but instead of text output it returns floating point numbers corresponding to categories, yes/no questions, ratings, and associated confidence scores.
TypeSafe describe Jev like this:
Think of Jev as a frontier-intelligence function call: unstructured state in, typed probabilistic decisions out.
It's also very fast, and really cheap. Regular LLMs are priced in terms of input and output tokens, with output generally charged at significantly higher rates. Jev charges only for input - output is free - and the input price of their first model is $0.042 per million tokens - cheaper even than OpenAI's GPT-5 Nano ($0.05/million).
Three types of question
Jev lets you ask questions about text or semi-structured data. You compose a "state" object containing a string, array of strings, or set of name-value pairs - this might describe an article, or a customer, or any other kind of record. You then send that to their API with one or more questions, and get a reply back for each.
You can ask three kinds of questions:
- Yes/No questions, which Jev calls "Noul" questions - their CEO confirmed on Hacker News that this is short for Bernoulli, from the Bernoulli distribution. You pose a statement and get back a floating point number between 0 and 1 for how confident the model is that the statement is true.
- Choice questions, where the model picks one from a set of provided options - actually a confidence score plus a probability distribution across all of the options.
- Score questions, where you provide sequence of numeric levels with descriptions and it provides a floating point score somewhere along that range.
The Jev API can accept a single document ("state") and as many questions as you can cram into the context window. Questions are evaluated in parallel, so sending many questions should take a similar time to sending just one.
The Jev 1.13 jaggedness documentation offers useful guidance as to Jev's strengths and weaknesses. It's currently not great with numbers, dates, or "adversarial content".
I think the decision model framing is useful for understanding where to use Jev. It's great for anything that can be expressed as a classification task - think spam detection, suggesting labels, prioritization and ranking.
I've also been experimenting with it for search reranking, where you fetch 100 likely matches using an inexpensive algorithm like BM25, then have Jev score those 100 candidates for relevance against the original query.
Black boxes are back in fashion
Something I've found a little uncomfortable about Jev is how it very much represents a regression even further towards black box machine learning systems.
LLMs are black boxes already - you can ask them to justify their decisions, but you can't guarantee that what they say is useful or accurate.
Jev doesn't even give you that: put in all the text you want, the only thing you're going to get back is a floating point number. If Jev marks something as spam, which content signals tipped it off?
This also means that concerns about bias should be front and center. I really hope nobody uses Jev to rank job applicants - that floating point number could conceal all manner of unseen bias baked into the models, and experimentally picking that bias apart is going to be a tricky business.
(I tried one experiment where I had Jev score every city in the San Francisco Bay Area on a yes/no answer to whether they were a "Good city?" - it rated Cupertino top and East Palo Alto bottom. Huh.)
In practice, this all means that evals and structured experiments are even more important than they are for regular LLM projects. Thankfully, Jev is so cheap that running hundreds or even thousands of experimental prompts through it costs just a few cents.
Unconventional uses for Jev
It's been really fun watching the wider community come up with potential use-cases for Jev over the past few days. Here are some creative ones that caught my eye:
- jevchat by Kyle Pena turns Jev into a (terrible) chat model. "At every step it asks Jev one question: Given the user's question and the reply written so far, which symbol comes next?". ericpruitt on Hacker News: "It's the digital equivalent of Morty speaking with the death crystal".
- jev-leftpad by Fatih Kadir Akın implements left-pad with the prompt "How many spaces are needed before value to reach targetLength?" and a choice query allowing options from "0 spaces are needed" to "10 spaces are needed".
- jev-2048 by Andy Gayton uses Jev to play the 2048 sliding puzzle game.
Open weight recreations
There's also been a flurry of projects attempting to create a model like Jev using on top of open weight models. Kev is one interesting example, using Qwen 3.5 to produce 0.8B, 4B, and 9B models. Here's the accompanying Hacker News thread, where someone linked to a JevBench benchmark that has already cropped up to compare "Jev-class decision models".
Given Jev was released just under a week ago, the amount of activity around it is extremely impressive.
Using Jev from LLM
Update 22nd September 2026: I released llm-typesafe, a plugin that adds support for Jev to my LLM CLI tool and Python library. Basic usage looks like this:
llm -m jev 'Please refund my last payment.' \ -s 'Does this message explicitly request a refund?'

Advice for Toni at Bluesky
I happen to know Toni Schneider the new CEO of Bluesky, from his tenure at Automattic. I have some ideas for him, people that follow me will recognize them. ;-)
hey toni, i'm sure everyone is giving you advice on how to evolve your two products, Bluesky and AT Proto. i am no exception. :-)
i think you have to merge the two. make it so that the writing tools you've attracted, that don't fit in with the 300-char limit, and other restrictions you have inherited from twitter, are first class citizens on Bluesky.
When I write in Pckt, i should be writing a Bluesky post. Simple limits, basically what Markdown supports (people love Markdown).
Twitter's limits imho were a good idea at first in 2006, but they have already started getting rid of the limits, and it has made a big difference in the medium.
in other words, i think you and your users need what leaflet, pckt et al are doing. and their posts should be first class citizens on bluesky and that means relaxing the limits.
i see the developers struggling to try to create a namespace for their products, but nothing they come up with can compete with bluesky, nor should it -- the users only know the bluesky name, trying to start something new here gives you a third name of something technical for people to learn, and in the end it'll be what bluesky becomes, because twitter is already getting rid of the limits. and twitter is, like it or not, still the leader in this space.
btw, this editor would fit in there nicely, but i decided in 2017 that i wasn't going to try any longer trying to fit into the hodgepodge of different regulations for each of the social media systems.
anyway, you could be the leader in this space, not by dominating but by dropping the barriers. a bluesky that keeps the limits while twitter is removing them is a bad place to be. you have to be the scrappy innovator, again imho of course.

Is AI Making Us Less Human?
When chatbots become our closest “friends,” what happens to our capacity to care? This week I'm joined by Professor Sherry Turkle. Sherry is a licensed clinical psychologist, the founding director of MIT's Initiative on Technology and Self, and the Abby Rockefeller Mauzé Professor of the Social Studies of Science and Technology at MIT. She's a the New York Times bestselling author of multiple books including Alone Together, Reclaiming Conversation, and The Empathy Diaries. Her latest book, Artificial Intimacy: Who We Become When We Talk to Machines, comes out on September 29. In it, Turkle explores how conversational chatbots have changed the ways we relate to other humans, empathize with each other, and what that could mean for our future. “The progression is: First we talk to each other, then we talk to each other through machines, and now we drop the middleman and we're happy to just talk to machines,” she said in our conversation. We get into what happens when people stop placing importance on emotionally connecting with other people, and whether it’s too late to pull back from the path we’re on.

Teen Mania: "I Clean Sh*t For God"
By high school, church wasn't just Shannon McElroy's faith, it was her community and her future. She was going to be a Christian counselor.
Then her youth group took her to something called "Acquire the Fire": a massive Christian youth conference that was part rock concert, part revival, and for Shannon, one hell of a spiritual high.
Before long, she'd be leaving college to join Teen Mania's Honor Academy. A year-long "internship" in rural Texas that promised purpose, ministry, and a chance to change the world. All she had to do was pay hundreds of dollars a month for the privilege of working for them... for free.
All she had to do was pay hundreds of dollars a month for the privilege of working for them... for free.
As you can imagine, what Shannon thought she'd signed up for was not exactly what she got.
Like the retreat where they simulated a prison and made her do wall sits. For Jesus.
And that was just one of their so-called "Life Transforming Events."
Now, to be fair, they did transform her. Just not the way it said in the brochure.
Twenty-five years later, Shannon, now a professor, therapist and social worker, still finds herself untangling from what one very intense year at Teen Mania instilled in her.

When God Becomes a Predator: Melissa Archer Inside the 5F Ministry (Part 1)
This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.
Melissa Archer is best known as Natalie Buchanan on One Life to Live, with later stints on Days of Our Lives and a run of indie films. These days she builds software, including NeuroRewire, an app for rewiring thought patterns formed in situations people didn't choose. Somewhere in the middle of all that, she accidentally joined a cult. We first learned about her from Be Scofield's reporting in The Guru, and she joins us fresh off the story going public.
In Part 1, Melissa walks us through how a non-practicing Catholic went looking for a deeper connection to God and found a pile of red flags she didn't yet have the language for: love bombing, daily phone calls, leadership titles, "diamond memberships," doubt dismissed as a "religious spirit," and isolation bragged about so openly she figured a group that culty couldn't possibly be a cult on purpose.
Her entry point was a Tanzanian "prophet" named GeorDavie and his 5F movement (formerly Advanced Anointing), with twenty-something emcee Kathryn Krick and pastor David launching the American branch. And to her credit, Melissa was skeptical enough to design a literal test for whether the prophecy stuff was real. But a streak of "miracles" had her healthy skepticism gaslighting itself, until it ended with a prayer: "I'm going all in—pull me out if I get too deep." Come back Thursday for Part 2, when we head to Tanzania, where the promises got bigger, the control got tighter, and the whole thing stopped feeling like a miracle.
Check out the original post on 5F on The Guru: https://www.gurumag.com/l-a-s-viral-exorcist-kathryn-krick-knew-of-prophets-sexual-abuse-allegations
And follow Melissa on Instagram, Facebook, or X.

Fighting with Fox News feat. Jessica Tarlov
Fox News host Jessica Tarlov, the lone liberal voice on "The Five," stops by the studio to talk to Tommy about her new book "I Disagree: Winning Arguments without Losing Friends." Tarlov offers Tommy a behind the scenes look into the making of Fox's most combative show and her relationships off-screen with her conservative colleagues.
She also talks about how she handles criticism from Fox News's most infamous viewer, what it's like watching her former colleagues serve in the President's cabinet, and why she thinks Democrats need to spend more time on Fox News in 2028.

Ma lecture du moment :
Amine Messal ERREUR SUR LA MARCHANDISE
Le néolibéralisme contemporain, récemment dégénéré dans le libertarianisme porté par Javier Milei ou Elon Musk, voue une défiance viscérale à l’idée de la moindre régulation.
Or, l’intuition libérale classique était mue par le refus de l’autoritarisme politique et religieux, des privilèges et de l’arbitraire.
Comment, à l’héritage intellectuel des Lumières, a pu se substituer le sacre de l’égoïsme rationnel, avec une conception de la liberté réduite au seul champ économique ?
Ce renversement absolu a cela de puissant qu’il permet de taxer de « liberticide » toute critique du système capitaliste, en dissimulant son emprise sur nos vies et les menaces réelles qu’il fait peser sur nos libertés fondamentales – d’expression, de mœurs, de circulation, etc.
Là où le libéralisme originel encensait la culture des contre-pouvoirs, le néolibéralisme fanatique – et plus encore le libertarianisme autoritaire qui s’éveille – rêve de monopoles sans limites et d’un exercice tyrannique du pouvoir.
Sans nier les contradictions de l’héritage libéral, Amine Messal revient aux racines de celui-ci et révèle l’arnaque des adulateurs contemporains d’une liberté dévoyée, devenue le moyen d’imposer la loi du plus riche et du plus fort – une perspective en phase avec les idéologies les plus réactionnaires.

Gaslighting for God with Becky Garrison
MY BRAND NEW 11-PART SERIES THE INSTASCAMMER - https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-instascammer--7247429
In this episode, host Kacey interviews religious satirist and writer Becky Garrison about her book Gaslighting for God: A Satirical Guide to Save Yourself from Spiritual Narcissists
A satirical, research-anchored consumer guide to recognising spiritual narcissists and knowing when to walk away. Garrison discusses her background, the Wittenberg Door satire magazine, family experiences with alcoholism and narcissism, and how awareness, trauma healing (including EMDR), and boundary-setting help people discern healthy communities from coercive, exploitative ones. She defines narcissism as a lack of empathy and explains spiritual narcissism as using religious or spiritual language to control others by threatening their souls. They cover love bombing, consent, online influencer culture, psychedelics and untrained facilitators, institutional religion’s decline, and practical red flags like intolerance of pushback, shaming, conditional belonging, and leader-centered control.

Did My IUD Make My Depression Worse?
After Mother Jones senior reporter Julia Lurie had her IUD removed, she was surprised to find that she felt happier and calmer than she had in years.
Her experience made her wonder: What does the science say about how hormonal birth control affects mood? And in a moment when contraceptives are so politicized and misinformation is rampant, is it possible to talk about the side effects of birth control without giving ammunition to those who want to get rid of it altogether?
In talking with scientists, doctors, and public health experts, Lurie learns that for years, research has found that people on hormonal contraceptives are much more likely to experience depression, suicidality, anxiety, insomnia, and other effects rarely discussed by the doctors who prescribe them.“For some women, it can be an almost overnight change,” says OB-GYN and contraceptive researcher Dr. Ojvind Lidegaard.
This week on Reveal, we explore the gaps in women’s reproductive health, from contraceptives to menopause.
