This week’s guest is psychology researcher and lecturer Dr. John Hunter, joining the show to talk about intensive self-help seminars–known as “large group awareness trainings,” or LGATs–and the emotions they produce. He shares about his personal experience with bipolar disorder and hypomania, and how the LGAT his employer sent him to seemed to induce a state of hypomania in its attendees.
John explains his dopamine hypothesis, why these trainings feel so euphoric at the end (and how rarely people tend to genuinely transform in the long-term), and how some folks have even entered prolonged manic states after attending an LGAT. But also, as always: how it’s not completely black and white.

More To The Story: Tennessee Rep. Justin J. Pearson first caught national attention when he was expelled from the state’s House of Representatives after demonstrating in support of gun law reforms. Today, he’s the Democratic candidate for Tennessee’s 9th Congressional District. It’s an area newly transformed by redrawn voting maps and sprawling data centers, putting Pearson at the center of some of the country’s biggest national fights. On this week’s More To The Story, Pearson talks about how redistricting has upended Tennessee and the many ways gun violence has become a deeply personal issue for him. He also looks back at the opposition to his 2023 demonstration for gun law reform when he was dubbed part of “the Tennessee Three.”

L’été 2026 est le plus chaud jamais enregistré en France. Trois vagues de chaleur se sont succédées, et une nouvelle s’annonce pour la fin de la semaine. Les incendies de l’été ont ravagé plus de 115 000 hectares de forêt. Le dérèglement climatique va accentuer la fréquence et la gravité de ces phénomènes.
Quelles leçons avons-nous tiré de cet été inédit sur le plan climatique ? A gauche, l’urgence de la transition climatique s’impose en ce début de campagne. Mais une crainte demeure : que cette page se referme trop vite, quand les températures vont redescendre.

Weeks after a Republican campaign committee called AI data centers the "anchor hanging around" GOP candidates' necks, Trump weighs in to say that all Americans who oppose data center construction are "backwards and poor" — while he digs in on the trade war with Canada and the hot war with Iran.
No wonder a leading Republican senator tells Politico that Trump — and the whole party — are "in serious trouble." Jon, Lovett, and Tommy try to make sense of Trump's choices at home and abroad, process the latest from the courts on mail-in voting and the White House ballroom, discuss Abdul El-Sayed's apology to Michigan's Jewish community, and react to the latest racist provocation from Laura Loomer.
Then, Tommy sits down with Aaron Ford, the Democratic nominee for governor in Nevada.

We’re kicking off Season 9 live from our very special book launch conversation from July 2026 in Vancouver about our book, A Little Bit Culty: Navigating Cults, Control and Coercion. We chatted about the messy, hilarious, full-circle journey behind the book, then get into how to support someone who may be caught in a high-control group without pushing them further into isolation. We unpack love bombing, indoctrination, behavior and thought control, loaded language, personality changes, and the all-important question: is what you signed up for actually what you’re getting? Stay tuned for Part 2 on Thursday.

Why are you bloated all the time?
Why can certain foods suddenly make you feel terrible?
And what is actually going on inside your gut when nothing you try seems to work?
Today, Mel is joined by Dr. Rajsree Nambudripad, MD, a board-certified medical doctor specializing in integrative gut health and integrative medicine, who has spent years helping patients uncover what’s really behind their most stubborn symptoms.
This conversation will change the way you understand your gut – and reveal a simple 4-part protocol for getting to the root of what’s making you feel so bad so you can feel your best again.
Dr. Rajsree covers it all: IBS, bloating, SIBO, constipation, diarrhea, leaky gut, histamine intolerance, low stomach acid, reflux, food sensitivities, and more.
And she explains the surprising ways your gut can impact your energy, anxiety, focus, sleep, skin, weight, metabolism, blood sugar, and thyroid health.
You’ll learn:
-The 4 systems that control your gut health – and what happens when even one is out of balance
-2 steps you can start taking immediately to improve your gut health
-What causes bloating and how to stop it fast
-The 3 main symptoms of IBS and what they may be telling you
-What histamine intolerance is and how it disrupts your “gut garden”
-The surprising connection between your gut and your thyroid
-The Hashimoto’s symptoms your gut may reveal first
-How exercise can help reverse insulin resistance
-Why your “acid reflux” may actually be the opposite problem
If you’ve been told “everything looks normal” but you still don’t feel normal – or you’re tired of guessing which food, supplement, or symptom to chase next – this episode will help you understand what your body may be trying to tell you – and what to do next.

Last Modified 08/30/2026 15:55:34 by Freedom ControllerJon sits down with legendary Democratic strategist David Plouffe to assess the race for the Senate and House and — why not? — look forward to 2028. The two talk through the new roster of early primary states and the political dynamics at play in each, and then do some (very) early handicapping of the rumored '28 contenders, from Kamala Harris to AOC and Jon Ossoff.

In medical school, Aaron Baugh, like most doctors in training, was taught that Black people have smaller lungs than white people. His professors explained that it came down to evolution and body proportions.
A spirometer measures lung capacity and helps doctors diagnose and treat most lung diseases, including asthma, COPD, and cystic fibrosis. And for generations, it had a so-called race equation built into it. When a patient breathes into the machine, their lung capacity is compared to what is considered normal for their age, gender, and race. For Black patients, that normal range was 10 to 15 percent lower than for white patients. For years, doctors believed that a race “correction” made the test more accurate.
But after becoming a pulmonary and critical care physician, Baugh discovered that historical assumptions embedded in the spirometer were not only wrong, but were based on racist science that can be traced back to American slavery. And they were leading to misdiagnoses in thousands of Black patients, including military veterans.
“This is not a small test,” Baugh says. “It is used in diagnosis of lung disease. It is used for job hiring. It is used for disability assignments. It is used for different medical treatments. So it can touch people in a lot of important ways if you’re doing this wrong.”
This week on Reveal, we team up with The Race Equation podcast series from the New England Journal of Medicine to examine a standard medical test with a brutal history that is harming Black patients and is still being used in hospitals across the country.

With his approval rating 20 points underwater, Donald Trump previews his new midterm strategy: telling voters to pretend he’s on the ballot. Jon and Dan break down how that will play, react to the president renaming Lake Ontario to “Lake America,” and preview the Republican Party’s midterm convention.
They also discuss Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s handling of a measles outbreak in Pennsylvania, new polling that has James Talarico up on Ken Paxton in Texas, and the unnerving number of Nazi-related scandals surrounding Mike Collins’s Senate campaign in Georgia.
Then, Annie Andrews, the Democratic nominee for Senate in South Carolina, talks to Dan about the momentum building for her campaign now that Darline Graham has won the Republican nomination.

Last Modified 08/27/2026 16:32:02 by Freedom ControllerFamily is supposed to be your safe place—but what happens when home is the original high-control group? In this episode, Alicia Markowitz, co-host of the Spanish-language podcast Familias Horribles, joins us to talk about growing up in an abusive family system, becoming the scapegoat, and slowly realizing that the “family rules” were really just coercion, control, gaslighting, triangulation, and a whole lot of “because I said so.”
Alicia gets refreshingly real about trauma, religious guilt, emotional and physical abuse, fawning, zero contact, and the terrifying business of choosing yourself after a lifetime of being told you’re the problem. We talk about how family cults mirror other high-control groups, how to recognize the red flags, why boundaries don’t magically work on narcissists, and how therapy, trusted people, good information, and a little hard-won self-compassion can help you rebuild the person you had to hide to survive.
Follow Alicia on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok @estoydemilado, and Familias Horribles on YouTube and Instagram.
Trigger warning: This episode contains frank discussion of childhood abuse, physical violence, psychological and emotional abuse, narcissistic and controlling parents, family estrangement and zero contact, gaslighting, scapegoating, panic attacks, depression, trauma, and suicidal fear.

Not long ago, tech jobs were sought after for their security, benefits, wages, and the progressive values promoted by Silicon Valley companies. But now workers are barely hanging on. Clarissa Redwine and JS Tan join Paris Marx to discuss the state of worker organizing in the tech industry, including how it’s changed since the mid-2010s and where it needs to go from here.
Clarissa Redwine is a tech worker and labor activist. JS Tan is a PhD candidate at MIT and writes the Value Added newsletter. They are the authors of Against Tech Oligarchy: Worker Resistance in the World's Most Powerful Industry.

Also mentioned in this episode:
There’s someone in your life you wish would change.
You’ve pushed, reminded, and given advice. You’ve had the same conversation over and over.
And somehow, you’re still stuck in the same frustrating cycle of fighting, nagging, lecturing, and hoping they’ll finally do something differently.
There is a better way.
In today’s conversation, Mel sits down with renowned behavioral scientist and award-winning NYU professor Dr. Dolly Chugh to unpack the surprising science of why people resist change and what really works.
You’re going to walk away with some of the most powerful, research-backed tools Dr. Chugh teaches at NYU – tools that will change how you see difficult people, frustrating relationships, and your own ability to influence how others behave.
You’ll learn:
-The 3 things that really do help when someone you love won’t change
-The simple question to ask before giving advice – so it doesn’t backfire
-The 4-option question that reveals what someone needs from you in a difficult moment
-The relationship tool that keeps small problems from turning into 10-out-of-10 fights
-How to tell when “helping” someone is keeping them stuck
-The 2 “bodyguards” in your brain that explain why you know better but still don’t do better
-Why your brain can fight change even when you desperately want it
-The surprising role “unlearning” plays in changing a habit or behavior
If you’re exhausted from trying to change someone you love, this conversation will give you a different way forward – starting today – that feels lighter, more hopeful, and extremely doable.
Your relationships will never be the same. And neither will you.

Pourquoi en France les hommes sont-ils plus riches que les femmes ? Et pourquoi le sont-ils de plus en plus ?
Si les inégalités de revenus sont bien connues, on ignore souvent que les inégalités de patrimoine entre hommes et femmes sont en train d’augmenter en France. L’inégalité patrimoniale entre hommes et femmes est passée de 9% en 1998 à 16 % en 2015.
Céline Bessière est professeure de sociologie à l’Université Paris Dauphine, Sibylle Gollac est sociologue et chercheuse au CNRS. Elles signent ensemble un livre, Le Genre du Capital, publié aux éditions La Découverte, résultat de quinze ans de recherche passées à fouiller dans les rapports statistiques, s’entretenir avec des notaires, des avocats et des juges.
Dans cet épisode, elles expliquent et démontrent les mécanismes qui favorisent l’appropriation masculine du capital et leur lien avec les inégalités entre classes sociales. Il est question de travail domestique, des origines des inégalités de revenus entre hommes et femmes, de pension alimentaire et d’héritage.
Elles montrent comment le droit est appliqué de telle sorte à ne pas fragiliser les patrimoines masculins. Le fait qu'une famille puisse transmettre sa richesse de génération en génération passe par l'intérêt des pères, des fils et des maris contre celui des mères, des filles et des épouses. La transmission des inégalités de richesse entre classes sociales, de génération en génération, repose sur cette appropriation masculine du capital.
A la fin de l’épisode, on se demande quelles seraient les politiques publiques à mener pour contrer ces effets, et aussi ce que nous pouvons faire, chacun et chacune à notre niveau, pour tenter d’échapper à ces mécanismes.

Test post
Working on a MCP for RSC
to be able to test and use RSC from the terminal
Fixed a bug in which markdown used at the source was not properly rendered here !
Spent the last week mostly on the backend of RSC to be able to better moderate, govern an instance.
Admins can now moderate own instance and also moderate how remote users from other RSC instances are ingested/displayed on/with the instances an admin federate with.
Later on we'll need roles so that an instance can have users with moderation capabilities, allowing an admin to share governance with members
The moment we federated even just with demo RSC instance, the lack of observability, control and moderation quickly became problematic
The whole point was to give admins a full view of all the feeds added by users with the capabilities to moderate if necessary.
I think the current backend controls + API admin capabilities will be enough to build on top without much friction
There is also a simplification of the backend code ongoing, we'll constantly face this kind of targeted refactoring because the project is very new and still finding its way.
Anyway, more news soon :)
Oops we are about to have an API now..
Still polishing a few things but you'll be able to use a user generated/governed api keys to read/write on your account and read the firehose
There is also a anonymous firehose entrypoint, this could allow anyone to create a completely different UI for any given RSC instance or God knows what other applications on top 😊
Shipped a few fixes today..
Cette semaine, j’ai retravaillé la manière dont RSC affiche les conversations.
Le fil principal montre les publications qui démarrent une discussion, avec le nombre de réponses. On peut ensuite ouvrir la conversation complète sans mélanger toutes les réponses dans le fil.
As you can see I'm trying to bring a UI in which instances admins and users will have some control for their experience but there is still a few bugs to hunt down and fix
Next to that.. The backend admin UI could definitely get some love (working on it)
Working on some improvements for the admin side of RSC but also, found some odd issue with our feed scheduler, slowish, impact is perceptible when a user change between local, federated tabs
it's not related to the SQLite database structure or missing production tuning, that part is all covered, still investigating the root cause :)
Hmm we might need to differentiate federated and remote
so tabs would be local, remote, federated, personal, public
RSC (Really Simple Conversations) is a social feed where everything is distributed via RSS: posts, as well as replies, entire conversations, and corrections published afterward. Three independent sites can thus participate in the same feed without a common API, without a shared account, and without having to adopt a new protocol: if your site already publishes a feed, it’s already a node in the network. Open-source (MIT), installable on your own server with just two commands, in the tradition of Dave Winer’s Textcasting.
Currently, only RSC instance can properly federate natively, this is happening without re-inventing the wheel, the only thing another instance has to do, is to add an "all users rss feed" from the whole instance in the "approved federation" tab of the RSC admin interface, this is bi-directional, so it means, each instance has to add the subscriptions.
So for example, rsc.rmdes.be added bob.rmdes.be and alice.rmdes.be and bob and alice added rsc.rmdes.be, alice added bob and bob added alice, once this is done, any users from any of these 3 instance can talk to each other, with just RSS feeds.
Testing Integration with micro.blog
We can't federate or be able to reply to a rss.chat instance because nothing is wired on their side so that different rss.chat instance can talk to one another. much less interop with a different textcasting implementation, which is what RSC is all about. it's a bit sad but it's not a blocker.
This post is being written on the thing it describes. A few days ago, every RSC instance you're reading this from swapped its entire data model — the part that decides what a post is, who wrote it, and how conversations hang together — while staying online. Here's the story, with the numbers.
The old model did what most feed readers do: fetch a feed, keep the latest copy of each item, overwrite on change. Simple, and quietly lossy.
The new model — we call the read side of it the projector — works like a courtroom instead:
Never store conclusions. Store evidence — every delivery of every item from every source, every version observed, every attribution claim with its strength — and derive what the reader sees, fresh, at read time.
That one idea is why moderation is instant and reversible, why an author's name comes from their attribution instead of whatever arrived last, and why a blocked source's posts vanish everywhere at the next read without deleting a byte of evidence.
| verticals shipped | 4 (control plane, logical items, moderation + verification, migration) |
| commits on the branch | ~140 |
| tests at cutover | 1,084 core + 330 web |
| defects caught by review before deploy | ~30, including 5 that only a whole-system pass could |
| defects found by dogfooding, fixed same day | 12 |
The dogfooding finds were the humbling part. My own blog showed up as a publisher named "Interesting read as always !" — the pipeline had promoted an item title to an author name. Replies arrived before their parents and stayed orphaned forever because a scheduler was built, tested, and never wired in. Podcasts carried audio in the data model and the UI just... never rendered it. Every one of those is now a regression test.
The flip itself is one atomic transaction at startup: convert every legacy user, post, follow, and push lease into evidence — same IDs, same permalinks, byte-exact WebSub leases — write a marker, open for traffic.
If it crashes halfway, nothing changed and it retries next boot.
It worked. And then the timeline took six seconds to load. 😅
SQLite never indexes foreign keys for you, and the projector looks things up per item. On a table of 32,000 identity keys, every lookup was a full scan:
EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN
SELECT key FROM logical_identity_keys_v2 WHERE logical_item_id = ?;
-- before: SCAN logical_identity_keys_v2 (478ms for a 50-item page)
-- after: SEARCH ... USING INDEX (1ms)
Two migrations later every foreign key in the model is indexed, a CI guardrail reflectively walks the schema and fails the build if any future table ships an unindexed key, and the timeline renders in ~40ms — faster than v1 ever was.
source:inReplyTo now travels in every feed we publishThe old model is still in the codebase, dark, waiting for its retirement release once this soak period ends. The feeds never stopped.
That was the whole point: conversations travel as RSS, and the plumbing underneath them should be replaceable without anyone's reader noticing.
Built in the open — the repo, the specs, and every review document live at github.com/rmdes/textcaster.
If you use Claude Code and you need to repeat things over and over, this means you are not using CLAUDE.md properly in your repository; it's that simple, CLAUDE.md governs your claude behavior, if its empty or too long with tons of documentation, you are doing it wrong. use /init on your repository !
If/when you need to add something to it, make sure its chirurgical, no need to paste a book into that file, you can @ reference to other files in the repo if needed at the end of CLAUDE.md, this is how you can layer more context about your code base without bloating your context session with EVERYTHING Claude need to know.
