  This world is built on lies. Cunning lies can start wars, swindle fortunes, or sway elections. So your status in life depends on how well you maneuver around deception.

  But here's the good news: there is a simple framework for spotting trickery. Firstly, it requires you unfollow the crowd, because the masses make choices based on what they see and hear, so they're easily fooled. But the powerful hone their ability to feel their way through tough terrain, thus avoiding traps.

  God's Monsters - Vengeful...

  The Bible is teeming with monsters. Giants tromp through the land of milk and honey; Leviathan swims through the wine-dark sea. A stunning array of peculiar creatures, mind-altering spirits, and supernatural hitmen fill the biblical heavens. 
   
   
   
  Traditional interpretations of the creatures of the Bible have sanded down their sharp, unsavory edges, transforming them into celestial beings of glory and light—or chubby, happy cherubs. Those cherubs? They're actually hybrid guardian monsters, more closely associated with the Egyptian sphinx than with flying babies. And the seraphim? Winged serpents sent to mete out God's vengeance. Demons aren't at war with angels; they're a distinct supernatural species used by Satan and by God. The pattern is chilling. Most of these monsters aren't God's opponents—they're God's entourage. 
   
   
   
  Killer angels, plague demons, manipulative spirits, creatures with an alarming number of wings (and eyes all over)—these shapeshifters and realm-crossers act with stunning brutality, each reflecting a facet of God's own monstrosity. Confronting God's monsters—and the God-monster—may be uncomfortable, but the Bible is richer for their presence. For anyone interested in monsters, myths, folklore, demons, and more, God's Monsters is an entertaining deep dive into the creaturely strangeness of the Bible.

  Literature and the New Culture...

  Can educators continue to teach troubling but worthwhile texts? 
   
   
   
  Our current "culture wars" have reshaped the politics of secondary literature instruction. Due to a variety of challenges from both the left and the right—to language or subject matter, to potentially triggering content, or to authors who have been canceled—school reading lists are rapidly shrinking. For many teachers, choosing which books to include in their curriculum has become an agonizing task with political, professional, and ethical dimensions. 
   
   
   
  In Literature and the New Culture Wars, Deborah Appleman calls for a reacknowledgment of the intellectual and affective work that literature can do, and offers ways to continue to teach troubling texts without doing harm. Rather than banishing challenged texts from our classrooms, she writes, we should be confronting and teaching the controversies they invoke. Her book is a timely and eloquent argument for a reasoned approach to determining what literature still deserves to be read and taught and discussed.

  Control Tactics - Strategies...

  Control tactics are strategies used by individuals, groups, or institutions to influence, manipulate, or dominate others. These methods can range from subtle psychological techniques to overt coercion, all designed to limit personal autonomy and shape behavior. Control can be exercised in personal relationships, workplaces, social groups, and even on a larger societal scale. Understanding how control tactics function is the first step in recognizing and resisting them. 
  At their core, control tactics exploit psychological and emotional vulnerabilities. Some individuals use them for personal gain, while others employ them to maintain power or enforce conformity. Whether intentional or not, these strategies often create imbalances in relationships, where one party holds undue influence over another. This can be seen in toxic relationships, authoritarian leadership, cult-like environments, and even marketing and political campaigns. 
  One of the most common control tactics is emotional manipulation. This includes guilt-tripping, gaslighting, and playing on insecurities to create dependency. By distorting reality or fostering self-doubt, manipulators can make individuals question their own perceptions, leading them to rely more heavily on the controlling figure. Over time, this erodes confidence and makes it harder for the individual to challenge the control being exerted.
