She built a brand that caught the attention of Goop, TEDx, and Silicon Valley’s elite. Orgasmic meditation was sold as empowerment and connection. But former members later described something else entirely: coercion, exploitation, and control behind the curated wellness aesthetic.

Her experiences in Northern California sex cults set this entrepreneur up to run one of her own. She claimed her company’s goal was simple: to foster connection between individuals through the practice of orgasmic meditation.

He was one of the bestselling Christian comedians on the touring circuit, with millions in revenue, a dedicated staff, and followers willing to fund his lifestyle with “love offerings.” But soon, two journalists - a pair of fellow Christians, no less - shed a less-than-flattering light on the self-proclaimed Bishop, and the whole empire came tumbling down.

Happening to listen to these 2 episodes on 9/11/25 that involving horrific gun violence from a horrible conservative lunatic asshole and short discussion of Charlie Kirk is.... uh, ironic. To say the least. And legit 100% unintentional.

I bet the kids were less likely to leave because that's all they ever knew. They didn't realize that what was happening was distinctly not true Amish way of life. While parents with adult/young adult children were old enough to see that no, this is beyond what it is to be Amish. This is wrong. So they got out, back to the way of life they knew beforehand. If this were a more mainstream modern family in a community where religion was less dictating of their life, it may be the other way around.

The voice is on that tape actually sound like a piece out of the podcast two hot takes. is it possible that the phone just started playing the podcast for a moment rather than it being voices from outside the phone? just a suggestion considering odd things like that happen all the time :-)

Hey, in German tradition, we put the shoes out on Dec 5, but we had our kids put Christmas wish lists/ letters to Santa in it, and he came and took the letter and left candy (usually chocolate coins). As a parent, this got me my kids' wish lists and started the holiday magic.

(Talking about large modern birds) "We have dinosaurs living among us!" Yeah, all modern birds are legitimately dinosaurs, since they evolved from dinos. They're called modern avian dinosaurs (because one of the qualifications for prehistoric dinos was that they were terrestrial- aka did not spend most of their life in water or air, like crocs and pterosaurs, which are cousins but NOT dinos). So...yeah. We legitimately have dinos living with us. We eat dinos all the time too (ex: chickens).

re the last story (with the audio): Loch Carrie isn't that far from RAF Lossiemouth, one of the busiest RAF bases in the UK, and the RAF does a LOT of training over those "middle of nowhere" parts of Scotland. Even if planes weren't readily visible, that kind of sound can travel long distances in the topography of the Highlands. I know the audio wasn't that good -- but I thought 'military jets' the instant I heard it. (And I've heard a LOT of military jets in my time!) 😁

I used to work as a caregiver for 3 years and worked with many dementia residents, and there was only 1 resident who had her phone taken away. She watched TV all day, and whenever a commercial came on saying stuff like "If you experienced/were involved with/worked at X, you might be entitled to compensation!" Every time, without fail, she'd call the number and say she was. She would also trying buying random stuff off the TV by calling the numbers. Her brother eventually removed her phone.

This episode discusses one of many reasons why I will absolutely demand to be cremated when I die. and placed in a small little grave, preferably in one of those walls at cemeteries where a bunch of the cremated people are. Takes up less room, no chance of being turned into a zombie someday, I'm not as gross. And other reasons. It's a win win! I don't want my meat sack sitting around taking up space after I die.
