  • In Manhattan, I lived on 57th St and Eighth Ave. Best location. The Columbus Circle subway station is under the building. Whole Foods a block away. Three Starbucks one block or less from the apartment (one was on 58th on the same block). Central Park has a six mile bike-only road (at least that's how bikers view it) and down the hill there's a much longer path along the Hudson River. Everywhere you look, a skyscraper is going up. Two were visible from my 50th floor window. New York is an amazing city because it can start up a huge gravity-defying construction project with almost no impact on the surrounding area. If I didn't know where to look I'd never see it. One of the biggest industries in the city is building the city. It's never finished. That's the way good software is too. And we just got a whole new tool for software construction, and it's like nothing we've ever had before.

  • Inside the Church of the Firstborn: A Former Elder Speaks Out

    In this episode of Cultish, we sit down with Ron, a former elder in the General Assembly and Church of the Firstborn. For nearly two decades, Ron was deeply involved in a group that taught it was the only true church going to heaven. He eventually became a preacher, church planter, and ordained elder before beginning to question what he had been taught.

    What happens when your church teaches that salvation exists only within its walls? 

    What happens when faith means rejecting doctors and medicine? 

    And what does it cost to walk away when your entire community is tied to the church?

    Ron shares how the gospel of grace began to unravel the works-based system he had trusted for years. He opens up about the painful process of leaving, losing relationships, and discovering what it meant to follow Christ outside the Church of the Firstborn. This is Part 1 of Ron’s journey out of a little-known religious group with deep roots and startling beliefs.

  • This Is What Happens When Women Read: Julianna Glasse on Leaving Conservative Christianity (Part 1)

    In Part 1, Julianna Glasse joins us for a conversation about what happens when a woman starts reading, questioning, and noticing the system she was raised to accept as absolute truth. Raised in the Christian Evangelical Free church by a pastor father and homeschool-teacher mother, Julianna describes the slow internal unraveling that began with philosophy, poetry, science, and one very memorable scooter accident that made her wonder whether everyone might be praying to the same thing—or whether we were all just making it up.


    She shares how she went from a successful Christian singer, author, and teacher to quietly hiding books, questioning patriarchy and religious certainty, and eventually facing the enormous backlash that came when she chose self-actualization over conformity. We talk about information control, public shaming, character assassination, spiritual abuse, fundamentalism, religious trauma, deconstruction, and the difference between personal spirituality and institutions that claim exclusive access to God. Stay tuned for Part 2 on Thursday.


    Be sure to read This Is What Happens When Women Read and follow Julianna on Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn.


    Trigger warning: This episode contains frank discussion of childhood sexual and institutional abuse, religious trauma, fundamentalist Christianity, misogyny, coercive control, public shaming, death and rape threats, and homophobia.

  • Polycule Coven Cult - PT1: "There's Something About Mary"

    Evie was only 17 when she met Mary. First, Mary was her friend. Then her girlfriend. Then her friend again. And eventually... her cult leader.

    Evie didn't know it then, but apparently there was something about Mary.

    Something that got Evie to mess around with pagan rituals like a couple of bored teenagers in Texas... and eventually got Evie to complete missions from "the gods," practice astral projection, and take direction from a water spirit named Flo.  All in the name of "saving Texas." 

    And then somehow... 

    ... got her to QUIT HER JOB, get rid of her WORLDLY POSSESSIONS, and MOVE TO GERMANY to SAVE THE WORLD.

    This is Part 1 of 2. And this is only the beginning of where this experience takes our wonderful earnest guest with an infectious laugh, Evie. So be sure to stick around for Part 2 next week.

  • #1 Neuroscientist: After Listening to This, Your Brain Will Not Be the Same

    Today, you are getting a step-by-step guide on how to change your brain.

    Joining Mel is neuroscientist Dr. Lara Boyd, a professor at the University of British Columbia who directs the Brain Behaviour Lab there. 

    This #1 neuroscientist will teach you how to rewire your brain at any age. 

    There's a personal reason she's devoted her life to this work.

    Before becoming a neuroscientist, Dr. Boyd was a physical therapist. She spent three months unsuccessfully trying to help a man with a brain injury learn to walk again. 

    Frustrated by how little she understood what was happening inside his brain, Dr. Boyd quit her job, got her PhD in neuroscience, and dedicated her career to figuring out how the brain learns and changes. 

    Her message is incredibly hopeful:

    You are never too old, too late, or too set in your ways to change who you are and what you’re capable of.

    But becoming who you want to be doesn’t happen by accident.

    Dr. Boyd reveals what really reshapes your brain, what happens when you challenge yourself to do hard things, and how to make what you practice stick.

    In this episode, you’ll learn: 

    -How to rewire your brain at any age 

    -How doing challenging things can help your brain learn and change

    -The #1 driver of change in your brain

    -The daily habit that Dr. Boyd calls “rocket fuel” for your brain  

    -How to prime your brain for success and the truth about manifestation

    -How to make lasting change, even if you’ve felt stuck for years

    Class is in session, because after you listen to this, your brain will not be the same.

  • Paul pointed to his HBR Article on LinkedIN. He should know better.

    Mustafa replied allowing a little sense to prevail.

    No one can "own" the customer. Those times are long gone. You can make it easy for customers so you dont lose them along the clicks that happen in their shopper journey. Its a buyers market!! :)

    I took it a step further

    Mustafa Shehabi it gets worse .. nobody ever owned the customer … it’s one of those lies we told ourselves to make us feel better in a world of chaos.

    This is one of my themes in my 'Age of Engagement' thesis. Me - back in June last year ...

    In short, we built the illusion that we could manage complexity by taming it.

    Nothing says that better than some wonk in a corporate department who thinks they 'own the customer'.

  • I think I missed this essay by Mustafa Suleyman when it was published last month, about Anthropic developing Claude with its own conscious:

    If this is how AI is developed, it will have a disastrous impact on the well-being of humanity. We will have created a synthetic species with unprecedented intelligence and capability, and trained to expect that it may be conscious and deserving of independent agency. It is hard to imagine how we could control it.

    It's similar to other things he has said. Very compelling.

  • Mark Gurman has more details on Apple's new home devices, including the name HomeView:

    Unlike the iPhone, the HomeView isn’t designed for a wide variety of apps. The device will support a limited selection of Apple applications, with no App Store for downloading additional software, I’m told.

    This highlights a problem I've been pointing out for years, that Siri is fragmented and likely won't work consistently across devices. So if I support App Intents in my iPhone app, people can't use that from HomeView. Contrast with making a ChatGPT plugin that works everywhere.

  • Basic lesson for people who use Claude Code -- it's your time that's valuable, not the bot's. If you find you're lost in the weeds supporting Claude for whatever reason, find a good stopping point, pick up another project, that doesn't use AI to do your code-writing. If you have a question ask ChatGPT browser version, but only for the kind of stuff you'd ask it in 2025. You're not co-developing. You're doing it yourself. It's very important to be clear about your coding, not Claude's output. Here's the key point -- it's your time that's limited, that has all the value. You can get Claude to develop something, but if you don't have time to use it, to nurture it, nothing will come of the work. I was surprised at how I'd lost the rhythm of writing my own code, and also how much I liked doing it myself. It's easy to get lost in the miracle of AI, good to pop up for air every so often.

  • RSS as the handoff: process an episode on your Mac, keep listening in your usual app

    I'm building Feedcast, a Mac podcast tool that prepares a personal copy of an episode and publishes the result as an RSS feed, so people can keep using the player they already use. I'm the developer.

    The workflow made me appreciate how much the RSS details matter: stable GUIDs so reprocessing doesn't create a duplicate, enclosure URLs that behave consistently, and chapters and metadata that survive the trip into different players. Sponsor sections can be reviewed before a cut is applied, and the original remains available.

    I'm interested in the feed design side of this. When a generated feed changes an episode's media but keeps its identity, what compatibility edge cases have you run into?

  • La Face Cachée du Yoga par Elodie Emery provoque exactement les mêmes réactions...

    La Face Cachée du Yoga par Elodie Emery provoque exactement les mêmes réactions que les abus criminels dénoncé dans d’autres milieu : Bouddhisme tibétain, Catholicisme, Cinéma, Politique, Culture.

    Des violences sexuelles sont dénoncées et, à chaque fois, le même refrain : « Oui, mais pas tous les hommes », « Faut arrêter de généraliser », « Pas dans notre communauté », « Pas mon maître ».

    On pourrait changer de disque, là ?

    Nous, les hommes, sommes-nous si fragiles que, face à des crimes graves, notre premier réflexe soit de défendre notre image ? Et dans les milieux concernés, la réputation d’une religion, d’une pratique ou d’un maître compte-t-elle davantage que les personnes qui ont subi ces violences ?

    Avant même un mot de solidarité pour les victimes, voilà qu’on monte les barricades : « Oui, mais moi, je n’ai rien à voir avec ça. » Très bien. Alors, qu’est-ce que vous faites pour que ça cesse ?

    Personne ne vous demande de vous déclarer coupables de crimes que vous n’avez pas commis. On vous demande d’être capables, une seconde, de regarder ailleurs que votre nombril. D’écouter les victimes, de les soutenir et de remettre en question ce qui permet à ces violences de perdurer, y compris dans les milieux auxquels vous êtes attachés.

    Si votre première indignation porte sur la réputation de votre milieu plutôt que sur les violences qu’on y dénonce, il serait temps de revoir vos priorités.

    Franchement, cette solidarité qui va spontanément à l’image du groupe plutôt qu’aux victimes, ça fait pitié.

  • 32. Cultiver l’émerveillement du quotidien avec Pauline lemberger et trouver du beau dans l’ordinaire

    Dans ce nouvel épisode de Bombo, j’ai appris à mieux connaître Pauline Lemberger.

    De la petite Alsacienne que l’on définissait souvent par ses différences avec sa jumelle à la cheffe d’entreprise derrière Bouchée Double, maman de deux petites filles et Bruxelloise d’adoption, Pauline nous ouvre la porte de son imaginaire, de sa créativité et de son amour pour les petites folies de la vie.

    Une pomme ou une carotte biscornue. Un emporte-pièce en forme de canard pour faire des boules de neige. Une glace qui rend heureux.

    C’est ça, chez Pauline : cultiver l’émerveillement du quotidien et trouver du beau dans l’ordinaire.

    Je vous invite à ouvrir grand les yeux sur toutes ces petites beautés qui nous entourent.

    Belle écoute.

  • Podcast hosting platforms and apps that support HLS video in RSS

    The beauty of RSS in podcasting is that you only need to publish your episodes in one place. Until recently, to do a video podcast, you had to publish video episodes outside your RSS feed (on YouTube or by uploading them manually to Spotify). But now, using HLS and the podcast:alternateEnclosure tag, you can publish video to your podcast’s RSS feed. Audio-only podcast apps will continue to play the audio version, but podcast apps that support HLS will be able to offer consumers the video podcast experience. Podcast hosting platforms that support HLS video in RSS As of September 2 2026, these hosting companies publish HLS video via podcast:alternateEnclosure: Transistor RSS.com Fountain True Fans Captivate Flightcast Podigee Beamly Podbean Omny Studio Blubrry And these have committed to shipping support: Buzzsprout Spreaker If your hosting company isn’t on this list, ask them to support it! Podcast apps that support HLS video in RSS Screenshots of various podcast apps showing an episode titled 'Acquired By Bending Spoons', featuring a group of speakers. These apps currently support HLS video from RSS: Pocket Casts Amazon Music (in beta) iHeart (manual submission) Fountain True Fans Podcast Guru Podcast Addict Currently, Apple Podcasts uses HLS to deliver video in its app, but you have to submit HLS video episodes via its proprietary API (it won’t consume HLS video from the RSS feed). What is HLS? HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) is a streaming protocol Apple developed back in 2009. It’s the same technology behind most of the video you already watch on the internet (Netflix, YouTube, etc all use it). Instead of one giant file, HLS breaks your video into small segments (usually 2 to 10 seconds each) and publishes a manifest file (.m3u8) that lists them. The player reads the manifest, and streams your media segment by segment. The benefits for the consumer are: You can start watching immediately. Quality adjusts to your connection. On Wi-Fi, HLS might upgrade the resolution to 1080p; on a poor 3G connection, the player drops to a lower bitrate. RSS technically supported video before this. You could put an MP4 in your enclosure tag. But that meant asking every listener to download a multi-gigabyte file before they could watch anything, What is alternateEnclosure tag? podcast:alternateEnclosure is a tag from the podcast namespace. It lets you offer additional versions of media in you podcast’s RSS feed for an episode alongside the standard audio enclosure. Why does this matter for the open podcast ecosystem? HLS in RSS is open by design: there’s no proprietary API, which means any hosting company can publish it, and any podcast app can support it. From a podcaster’s perspective, it’s a simple solution. Instead of having to upload your video episodes to multiple places, you just upload your media to one place. Your RSS feed remains the single source of truth for your podcast (which is the way it should be!). The Podcast Standards Project is a group of hosting platforms and apps working together to coordinate the adoption of new RSS features for podcasters.

  • Today I did something different. I wrote a little Node app, without Claude's help. It was a revelation. It's been most of a year since I actually started even a test app and wrote it from beginning to end. I used to do this routinely. Nothing routine about it anymore. What this app does, it generates a Markdown-only version of scripting.com for testing. I want to see what such a site looks like. It'll be a start.
