    MADD: Philly Democrats' Plan to Bring Back 2008 Mortgage Crisis

    On this week's Mean Age Daydream, Philadelphia's very dumb, very Democrat Mayor announces a plan to offer loans to people with terrible credit, just like in 2008 when the entire mortgage industry collapsed. Also: Brazil's corrupt socialist President, Lula, likely cheated in an election before trying to imprison his opponents.

    FF: Parents vs. the System: Alvin Lui on the School Battles Voters Will Decide This November

    John Odermatt welcomes back Alvin Lui, founder of Courage is a Habit, for a deep dive into the parental rights battles heating up one week before Election Day. They discuss 17 ballot measures across 10 states — including four on transgender athletes in school sports — and why Alvin argues that passing them is only the first down, not the touchdown. The conversation covers the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) as the root pipeline for ideological activism in all 50 states, the launch of Courage is a Habit's ASCA 50-State Violation report, and the Trump administration's enforcement actions against school districts in Virginia and Los Angeles. Alvin also explains the philosophy behind "Embrace Exclusion," makes the case that courage must be a habit rather than a contagion, and shares practical tools parents can deploy this week.

    TLPP: The Battle to Publish Pandemic-Critical Content w/ Bretigne Shaffer

    Bretigne Shaffer writes children's horror, superhero graphic novels, and dark comedy about COVID — and she self-publishes all of it, because no traditional publisher (or Netflix) will touch a story that's critical of the pandemic response. We talk about her Halloween story Elixir of Fear — a 19th-century patent-medicine salesman who's also a wizard, a "budgie flu," and a whole town swept up in a fear campaign — why great art about COVID hasn't arrived yet, the people now pretending lockdowns "weren't a big deal," and why she moved her family from California to Kentucky. Plus: the lost world of literary journals, short stories as Hollywood IP, B-movie horror vs. gore, The Exorcist, her upcoming short story collection and her novel Davy Sunshine and the Big Pandemic, the Lady and the Unicorn tapestry — and the burning question of whether female unicorns have horns.

    FF: Why Some Rise Above Their Circumstances While Others Fall to Them

    In this solo episode of Finding Freedom, the John breaks down what positive thinking really means—not vision boards and mirror affirmations, but the deliberate, disciplined practice of directing your mind toward what's possible rather than what you fear. Drawing on Carol Dweck's growth mindset research, Martin Seligman's work on learned optimism, and the neuroscience of the reticular activating system, he makes the case that positive thinking is a learnable skill backed by science, not a personality trait. He explains how the brain's built-in negativity bias—supercharged by modern media and social media—keeps most people tethered to anxiety and self-doubt, and why overriding that default requires consistent, intentional effort. Five practical steps are laid out: auditing your inputs, monitoring your self-talk (including the trick of naming your inner critic), practicing gratitude, using forward-focused language, and surrounding yourself with people who elevate your thinking. The episode closes with a reminder that two people can face the exact same circumstances and get radically different outcomes—because the difference begins not with what happens to them, but with what they tell themselves about it.
