       Meta's recent implementation of a video-selfie identity check on Facebook is drawing widespread user backlash, as described in a recent Substack article. While intended to accelerate account recovery and block impersonation, the system appears to be locking out countless legitimate users with little recourse.        Facebook's official help pages explain that users may be asked to record a short selfie video, moving their head in multiple directions, so Meta can confirm identity and detect "fake videos."  But the real-world user experience results in many people being locked out and losing their accounts.        Long-time users report being funneled into endless loops of selfie resubmissions—with no alternative option to submit a government ID, and no direct access to human support.        In my own case, my account was flagged after inviting a friend; soon afterwards my account was suspended...

In her newest short story/flash fiction collection, The Secrets We Keep 2 , acclaimed author and psychologist P.A. Farrell invites readers back into the quiet rooms of the heart, where love, loss, and resilience intertwine. Each of the twenty-five stories shines a light on ordinary people carrying extraordinary emotions—individuals learning that even the smallest acts of care can transform a life.

       As artificial intelligence reshapes every aspect of life, a new Substack article by author and media analyst Gini Graham Scott, Ph.D. explores why science-fiction has become the most resonant genre of our time. The article, "Why Sci-Fi Films and Streamers Are So Popular in an Age of AI," examines how recent blockbuster films and hit streaming series reflect society's growing fascination — and anxiety — with technology and artificial intelligence.        "Science fiction doesn't just show us the future — it helps us understand the present," Scott writes. "These stories mirror how AI, automation, and data are transforming identity, relationships, and even creativity itself."        The feature highlights major hits including The Martian , Blade Runner 2049 , Avatar: The Way of Water , Stranger Things , Black Mirror , Murderbot , and international successes such as Better Than Us and Cassandra .

In a turbulent world, every leader is spending a substantial amount of time addressing change-related issues. In addition to the nature of the message – is it compelling for the audience – how your leadership style resonates with the audience will determine whether you are successful in getting the audience to agree with the position you advocate. While loud, charismatic leaders are good at grabbing attention, successful leaders in today’s technology intensive world tend to be quieter, more deliberate, openly curious and grounded in purposeful action .   In his article The Leadership Style Thats Winning in the AI Era , Sam Reese identifies a common set of principles and practices that guide how today’s successful leaders show up for their teams. For how many of these qualities would you (and your team) give you a top rating?

Science finds memory lingers in unexpected ways. Getty Images for unsplash.com When you were a small child, did you learn to ride a bike? Years later, you probably graduated to driving a car or even a motorcycle. But if you were to pick up a bike in your adult age, would you still be able to ride it? You would, even though you might initially have a bit of trouble with balance, but it would come back, and you could ride a bike. You didn’t need to learn all over again. You wouldn’t need anybody holding on to the rear of the seat to make sure you didn’t fall over because you haven’t forgotten that skill . The muscles that learned bike riding were sitting there in your body all along, waiting for you to say, “Okay, let’s go." Your body instantly recalls the movements of past activities when you return to them, such as swimming in the morning, playing the piano, or walking through familiar trails. But are these skills just in memory reserves in your brain, or are they somewhe...

Last week, Salem Media Group began a round of companywide layoffs that include staffers at radio stations across the country. KLUP-AM, San Antonio program director Barry Besse is among those exiting the company and he posted to Facebook: “After 15 years at Salem Media San Antonio and a total of 17 years with Salem as a company I was a part of a massive companywide reduction in workforce.

By Holland Cooke Consultant The most common mistake podcasters make is assuming the microphone alone creates an audience. Too many would-be hosts hit Record without a clear strategy for WHY they’re doing a show, WHO it’s for, and what makes it DIFFERENT from millions of other podcasts. Here’s where radio people have an edge. They already understand what makes audio work, fundamentals instructive to pure-play podcasters: Know your listener. The #1 podcasting error is failing to define the audience. A show that tries to appeal to “everyone” ends up resonating with no one. In radio, you wouldn’t program an AC station to please hard rock fans; the same logic applies here. Create a mental picture of your ideal listener and talk to that person… as an individual. A radio show might have thousands of listeners, but they’re listening one-at-a-time. Podcasting is even more intimate. It’s the opposite of “Hi e...

For most of us to improve, grow, and contribute more we need to shift from a scarcity/poverty mentality to an abundance mentality. That’s easier to agree to than it is to implement. While the trope is about people who “were born on third base and think they’ve hit a triple,” there are also many people who  have  hit a potential triple  but stop at first base because they’re afraid of being critiqued for the aggressive base running,  even though the outfielders still havn’t caught up to the ball. I’ve coached people who are constantly looking for bargains or cost reductions in embarrassing manners. They choose cheap hotels for their workshops, or refuse to fly business class, or remove the taxes from the dinner bill before calculating a 15 percent tip (they don’t leave more than that). They wait for the last possible minute before paying for something on a deadline. Powerful people enjoy dealing with powerful people, and they expect people to look and behave in a...

The phrase executive presence first appeared in leadership circles in the late 20th century. It quickly became a buzzword in boardrooms, performance reviews, and coaching sessions. Yet for all the talk, it remained elusive. Many ambitious professionals were told, “You need more executive presence”, but few could explain what that meant or how to achieve it. Executive presence is not a single trait you’re born with. It’s a set of behaviors, skills, and habits that signal credibility, confidence, and influence. It’s the ability to inspire trust in your leadership, even under pressure. And while everyone wants it, too few understand how to build it. After decades of coaching leaders, CEOs, and professionals worldwide, I’ve distilled executive presence into practical insights. Below are 20 ways you can strengthen yours—immediately and over time. The 60-Second Rule Most executives lose their audience in the first 90 seconds. Don’t start with small talk. Begin with a bold statement...

Bit by bit, we are catching cancer with each breakthrough, and now there’s another one. Kateryna Hliznitsova @unsplash.com People recognized their bodies contained hidden protective mechanisms before scientists developed microscopes and modern medical practices. They observed that smallpox survivors remained healthy after their first bout of the disease, which scientists later used to develop inoculation and vaccination techniques. Throughout history, healers described a life force which they called vis medicatrix to represent the healing power that exists within human bodies. Science evolved from using metaphors to conduct experiments, which led to the discovery of cells, receptors, immunity, and antibodies. The path of immunity continues to develop as a scientific field. Tumors persist. Autoimmune diseases rage. Organ transplants fail. These medical obstacles reveal the current boundaries of our scientific understanding. In 2025, researchers at MIT and Harvard made an importa...

ERP systems sit at the core of modern manufacturing—but most companies use only a fraction of their capability. In this Supply Chain Byte, Lisa Anderson gives examples of how optimizing the ERP system can strengthen the supply chain—capacity, staffing, planning & scheduling and on-time delivery. In ERP circles, a widely touted statistic is that companies typically only utilize 20% of their ERP system. To be competitive, ERP systems must continuously build out their systems with additional functionality. For example, company x might require a certain functionality while company y requires a different capability and company z requires yet another version. Thus, modern, mid and large-tier ERP companies (supporting mid and large customers) build all three capabilities into their ERP software to support their customers’ needs. Although company y doesn’t require company x’s functionality, it might provide additional value / benefit if utilized in conjunction with their base ...
