Should you expense a rental property cost immediately or capitalize and depreciate it over time? It's one of the most misunderstood areas of real estate investing and getting it wrong can cost you thousands in missed deductions or IRS headaches. In this episode, Thomas Castelli and Nate Sosa break down the decision framework every real estate investor needs to understand when dealing with repairs, renovations, improvements, appliances, HVAC systems, roofs, and other property expenses. You'll learn: - When an expense can be deducted immediately - How the De Minimis Safe Harbor works - The difference between repairs and capital improvements - When the BAR Test applies (Betterment, Adaptation, Restoration) - How cost segregation impacts your deductions - Bonus depreciation vs. Section 179 and when each makes sense - Common tax myths that trip up landlords and short-term rental owners Request a consultation from Hall CPA at go.therealestatecpa.com/3KSEev6 Get the FREE Ultimate STR Tax Strategy Bundle: go.therealestatecpa.com/strbundle Register for the FREE Investing Debate: go.therealestatecpa.com/debate Submit your question for Tom & Nathan: go.therealestatecpa.com/question The Tax Smart Real Estate Investors podcast is for general information purposes only and is not intended to provide, and should not be relied on for, tax, legal, or accounting advice.

Hace 2.000 millones de años, la aparición de las células eucariotas revolucionó la vida en el planeta y con el tiempo darían lugar a protistas, plantas, hongos y animales. Para explicar su origen, Lynn Margulis propuso en la década de 1960 su teoría endosimbiótica, en la que una célula primitiva engulló a otra, dando origen a las mitocondrias. Seis décadas después, un trabajo liderado por científicos españoles, con la ayuda del supercomputador MareNostrum 5 de Barcelona, confirma que la intuición de Margulis fue acertada, aunque replantea el origen de nuestras células como una historia de alianzas microbianas con actores hasta ahora desconocidos. Hemos entrevistado a Toni Gabaldón, profesor ICREA, director del grupo de Genómica Comparada en el BSC y en el IRB, y líder de la investigación.-Faltan menos de dos meses para el eclipse total de Sol que podremos ver en buena parte de la Península Ibérica y son muchas las iniciativas en marcha. La última, de la Sociedad Española de Astronomía, es “Un mundo de eclipses”, un atlas interactivo sobre las interpretaciones de los eclipses solares en las culturas del mundo. Hemos hablado con Montse Villar, coordinadora del proyecto. Hemos informado de la concesión del Premio Princesa de Asturias de la Concordia 2026 a la astronauta estadounidense Christina Koch por "extender las fronteras de la humanidad, apoyada en un amplio trabajo colectivo". Koch fue miembro de la tripulación de Artemisa II alrededor de la Luna, y durante su estancia en la EEI fue la primera mujer en protagonizar una caminata espacial y la que más tiempo ha permanecido en el espacio. Con Xiomara Cantera, directora de NaturalMente, hemos celebrado los primeros 50 números de esta revista que publica trimestralmente el Museo Nacional de ciencias Naturales, del CSIC. Adeline Marcos nos ha contado el proyecto europeo “Adaptation” para la creación de dispositivos capaces de absorber la energía solar para convertirla en electricidad, y al mismo tiempo, enfriarse por sí solos.

Before there were relationships, there was adaptation. Before there were marriages, there was adaptation. Before there were families, civilizations, languages, philosophies, religions, identities, cultures, nations, and histories, there was adaptation. Existence itself rests upon a single uncompromising principle: Everything that lives must continuously adjust to what is. Nothing receives exemption. Stars adapt to gravitational forces. Forests adapt to seasons. Species adapt to environments. Consciousness adapts to experience. Life itself survives through perpetual negotiation with reality. Only the human ego attempts a different strategy. It attempts permanence. It attempts certainty. It attempts preservation. It attempts to freeze living things into familiar forms and then calls that stability. This may explain one of the greatest tragedies in intimate relationships. Many people do not fall in love with a person. They fall in love with a version. A snapshot. A moment. A psychological photograph taken during a particular season of someone's evolution. Years later they discover the photograph has changed. The ambitions changed. The fears changed. The values changed. The body changed. The dreams changed. The identity changed. And suddenly what should have been expected feels like betrayal. Not because transformation occurred. Because transformation was never included in the original agreement. The relationship begins suffering from a silent disease. Not incompatibility. Not conflict. Not communication problems. The disease is the expectation that life should stop moving. Yet life never agreed to such a contract. Every intimate relationship eventually becomes a confrontation with the most fundamental law of existence: Nothing living remains the same. The deepest form of love may therefore have very little to do with possession, agreement, compatibility, romance, chemistry, or even commitment. It may involve something far more difficult. Participation. The willingness to remain present while another human being becomes. Not who you expected. Not who you prefer. Not who you originally chose. But who life is continuously revealing. This is where rigidity enters the story. Most people misunderstand rigidity. Rigidity is not strength. Rigidity is fear attempting to negotiate with impermanence. A boundary protects what is essential. Rigidity protects what is familiar. A boundary serves growth. Rigidity resists growth. A boundary preserves integrity. Rigidity preserves certainty. One creates intimacy. The other slowly suffocates it. The irony feels almost unbearable. Many people spend years defending what they call standards, principles, values, self-respect, masculinity, femininity, tradition, or boundaries. Underneath the language often sits something much older. Fear. The fear that adaptation will require grief. Because adaptation always demands the death of something. A belief. An expectation. A certainty. An identity. A story. A version of ourselves. A version of our partner. Love therefore asks for a sacrifice few people anticipate. Not the sacrifice of self. The sacrifice of illusion. The illusion that the person beside you can remain unchanged while everything else in existence continues evolving. This becomes even more complicated when childhood wounds enter the relationship. An abandoned child becomes an adult demanding certainty. A neglected child becomes an adult demanding emotional guarantees. A rejected child becomes an adult demanding constant validation. The wound incurs the debt. The partner receives the invoice. What began as pain becomes expectation. Expectation becomes entitlement. Entitlement becomes rigidity. Rigidity becomes relational gravity. The relationship slowly bends around old injuries rather than present reality. Two people stop meeting each other. They begin negotiating with ghosts. One partner speaks from today. The other responds from twenty years ago. One partner changes. The other interprets the change as abandonment. One partner evolves. The other experiences evolution as betrayal. Neither understands the actual conflict. The argument appears relational. The conflict is ontological. Reality keeps moving. Someone is trying to stop it. Daoist philosophy recognized this thousands of years ago. Water never argues with the riverbed. Water never demands permanence. Water never mistakes form for essence. It changes continuously while remaining completely itself. Rain. Mist. Ice. River. Ocean. Different expressions. Same nature. Healthy love functions the same way. Its essence remains while its expression evolves. The couples who survive decades together may not possess superior communication skills. They may not possess superior compatibility. They may simply understand a truth that many never discover: Love is not measured by how tightly you hold on. Love is measured by how truthfully you participate in another person's becoming. Can you update your understanding as quickly as life updates the person you love? Can you release outdated versions of them before resentment builds a shrine around them? Can you remain curious where others become certain? Can you remain present where others become controlling? Can you bless evolution where others call it betrayal? Because eventually every intimate relationship arrives at the same doorway. On one side stands certainty. On the other stands life. You cannot hold both. The person who chooses certainty eventually loses intimacy. The person who chooses life discovers that adaptation was never the enemy. Adaptation was love's highest form of intelligence. And perhaps its most sacred expression.

Episode 139 - Pack your bags! The time has finally some. We have been talking for years about a Nicholas Cage month and that month is now. This month is what we like to call our Lottery style, where we choose one theme submitted by three of us and then each of us takes turns choosing a film each week. For week 1 we are diving in head first with Brian's choice; Mandy (2018). Panos Cosmotos directed this dark revenge horror fantasy film which showcases Cage at a time when the Cage revival was in full swing. Tune in as we break this one down.And tune in next week for Pete's choice: Adaptation (2002)email us at mracfilmclub@gmail.com
Industrial water professionals work with chemistry, equipment, permits, and performance targets every day. Yet every gallon also moves through a framework of policy decisions: who can withdraw water, how it may be used, what quality must be returned, and whose needs are considered when systems are designed. Sherine El-Wattar, a science network officer supporting the IPCC Working Group II Technical Support Unit, brings an engineering foundation and a human-centered perspective to those questions. Her work focuses on climate impacts, adaptation, vulnerability, and risk while helping connect scientific assessments with communities and professional groups beyond the traditional research environment. Water Systems Are Never Neutral Pipelines, treatment plants, reuse programs, and flood-control infrastructure solve technical problems. However, Sherine encourages engineers and decision-makers to ask additional questions: Who benefits from the system? Who might be harmed? Whose assumptions are built into the equations? What local realities might the numbers overlook? Her master's research illustrates the importance of that lens. Sherine compared remote-sensing indicators of agricultural productivity with the day-to-day practices of farmers near Cairo. A digital map could classify land as productive or unproductive, but the view from the ground revealed practices shaped by long-term care for the soil and water. The lesson is not to dismiss data. It is to understand what the data may not capture. Water Risk Depends on Context Water scarcity, flooding, infrastructure resilience, and climate adaptation do not look the same in every region. Culture, institutions, belief systems, and lived experience shape how communities define risk and how they respond to water policy. Sherine describes climate-related water risk through a straightforward frame: too much water or too little water. The solutions, however, require deeper attention to local conditions. A technically sound recommendation may still fall short if it overlooks the people affected by the decision. Practical Steps for Water Professionals For utilities, facilities, and water-sector businesses, Sherine recommends exploring water footprint concepts and water stewardship. She also emphasizes authentic connection: listen before trying to fix a problem, communicate without judgment, and build awareness through relationships. Industrial water treaters already hold valuable knowledge. Sharing that expertise with operators, communities, policymakers, and professionals from other disciplines can improve the quality of future water decisions. Listen to the full conversation above.

In this new podcast episode, Lauren and I talk about navigating major life changes, both personally and professionally. We discuss the importance of adapting to new technologies like artificial intelligence, building new skills, and developing a success mindset to stay secure in the changing job market. We also open up about the emotional weight of divorce, marriage struggles, menopause symptoms, hot flashes, legal stress, loneliness, and burnout. This conversation is a reminder that whether you are facing changes in your body, your relationships, your career, or your future, you are not alone. Sometimes the support you need most is honest conversation, trusted friendship, and someone willing to sit with you through the messy middle.
What happens when you spend more than two decades helping organizations communicate, investigate, and build trust across the globe? In this episode of Truth Be Told, Dave Thompson, CFI sits down with WZ Vice President of International, Chris Norris, CFI to explore what he's learned from working in more than 45 countries and traveling to over 80. From living in the UK to teaching investigators in Afghanistan, Korea, Brazil, and beyond, Chris shares the cultural lessons, communication mistakes, and relationship-building strategies that have shaped his career. The conversation dives into the surprising differences—and remarkable similarities—between people around the world. Chris discusses how curiosity, humility, and adaptability can help anyone build stronger relationships, whether they're leading an international team, conducting an interview, or simply connecting with people from different backgrounds. Along the way, he shares memorable stories about cultural misunderstandings, translating investigative training across languages, and why some of the most important communication lessons have nothing to do with words at all. Learn more about WZ's International presence! Truths: People are more alike than different. Whether you're in London, Seoul, Kabul, or Chicago, the fundamental challenges of communication, trust, and information gathering remain remarkably consistent. Cultural differences matter, but human nature is universal. Curiosity is a communication superpower. The most effective communicators don't assume—they ask. Chris shares how approaching new cultures with humility, patience, and a willingness to learn opens doors that expertise alone cannot. Adaptation builds credibility. From language choices and email etiquette to dress and behavior, small adjustments can make a big difference in building rapport and trust across cultures. Adaptation isn't about changing who you are—it's about showing respect for the people you're trying to connect with. Don't mistake difference for resistance. What looks like disengagement, disrespect, or reluctance in one culture may actually be a sign of respect in another. Effective communicators learn to challenge their assumptions before drawing conclusions. Open-mindedness is the foundation of growth. Chris's message to every class is simple: "Be open-minded, and we'll learn something together." Whether you're leading a team, conducting an interview, or traveling abroad, growth begins when you're willing to see the world through someone else's perspective.
What happens when a painter/sculptor and a sci-fi writer want to make an art film but can only get the budget for an action movie? The very, very confused "Johnny Mnemonic". Watch in confusion as Keanu is told to switch off his usual, easy charm to play a fairly wooden courier! Be annoyed as rights issues and studio meddling turned the much more interesting bodyguard character into a dull sidekick. And wonder why, for the love of God, they put Henry Rollins in this thing. Also this week: the greatest monologue in cinema, Val's choice, and old Chris yells at cloud.

In this bonus episode of Booksmart, hosts Sunny Adcock and Allie Daisy King react to Prime Video's television adaptation of Carley Fortune's popular young adult romance novel, 'Every Summer After'.The show, titled 'Every Year After', dropped this week, hot on the heels of the streamer's very successful adaptation of Elle Kennedy's 'Off Campus' series, but the girls are divided on whether it'll satisfy existing fans of the novel or have enough impact to draw in new viewers.From major changes to the novel's characters and storyline to large age gaps among the central cast, there's certainly a lot to talk about (but don't worry, it's not all bad).Proceed with caution as this episode contains spoilers for the television series and the novel it's based on.*CORRECTION: In this episode, Sunny incorrectly criticises the casting of a Black character she misremembered as being described by the author as having "dark skin". Chantal is not described as such and we would like to apologise to actress Aurora Perrineau for the misinformation.You can purchase Carley Fortune's romance novels online with QBD Books using the following link:https://www.qbd.com.au/search/?q=Carley+Fortune&utm_source=Booksmartpod&utm_medium=MPPodcast&utm_campaign=BSMPCarlyFortune&utm_id=BooksmartCarlyFortune
Previous climate change policies focused primarily on mitigation, reducing emissions to achieve net zero by 2050 and avoid the worst outcomes. But as emissions continue to rise, extreme weather events intensify and physical risks materialize, a second, less comfortable reality is setting in: we must also adapt and build resilience, because we must now brace for impact. In this episode of 2050 Investors, Kokou Agbo-Bloua explores the consequences of what this shift will mean in practice for economies, public policy, infrastructure, and capital allocation. He examines the growing economic need for climate adaptation and resilience, the widening gap between adaptation needs and available funding, and the uncomfortable question of how far adaptation can really go in a world of rising physical risk. This episode's guest is Carine de Boissezon, Chief Impact Officer at EDF (Électricité de France). She shares how one of France's leading energy providers is adapting in a warming world. From water management and ecosystem preservation to stress-testing assets against extreme scenarios, she argues that resilience is both systemic and collective, no company or country can adapt in isolation. Listen to this episode of 2050 Investors to understand what it will take to adapt in a more volatile world.CreditsPresenter & Writer: Kokou Agbo-Bloua.

Chantel Prat studies how different brains make sense of the world. Her work starts from a simple idea: every experience leaves a mark. The inputs we consume shape how we think, what we notice, and ultimately who we become. The conversation explores why people often choose familiar rewards over uncertain opportunities to learn. Chantel explains the tension between exploration and exploitation, why curiosity is essential for growth, and how fear can prevent us from engaging with new technologies like AI. They also discuss theory of mind, cognitive offloading, and what happens when we increasingly rely on AI for thinking. The goal is not simply to do better work, but to use AI in ways that help us become better versions of ourselves.Key Takeaways: Curiosity requires safety When people feel threatened, they become defensive rather than exploratory. Fear gets in the way of learning. Better inputs create better outputs Every experience leaves a footprint on the brain. The ideas, conversations, and information we consume shape how we think and who we become. We naturally favor certainty over exploration Our brains are biased toward familiar rewards, even when something new may offer greater long-term value. Curiosity starts with admitting you might be wrong Learning requires recognizing that you do not already have the answer. Without that openness, exploration never begins. Use AI to become better, not just produce more The most important question is not what AI can do for you, but what you still want to get better at yourself.

In this episode of the Culture Eats Everything podcast, Tom Willis sits down with Dr. Stephen Bigelow, an experienced educator and former superintendent who traded Michigan's Upper Peninsula for life and leadership in Salvador, Brazil. Together, they explore the concept of “cultures within cultures” and discuss how living and leading in a completely different environment challenged Stephen's assumptions about healthcare, education, relationships, and leadership itself.Stephen shares how confronting his own preconceived notions opened the door to deeper learning, stronger relationships, and a greater appreciation for cultural differences. The conversation highlights the importance of humility, adaptability, and surrounding yourself with people who challenge your thinking. They also discuss how leadership principles remain universal even when cultural norms, communication styles, and expectations vary dramatically.Click here to buy our book:
Summer isn't just a season; it's a high-stakes training block. In this episode, we break down the science of marathon heat training and why you should view these humid months as the "Poor Man's Altitude." We move past the marketing hype to explore the physiological reality of thermal stress, plasma volume expansion, and why your watch data needs a serious reality check when the mercury rises.In this episode, we cover:The Physiology of the Heat: Why your heart rate changes which isn't a loss of fitness, blood plasma volume and how you can take advantage of that. Safety & Red Lines: The critical differences between heat exhaustion and heat stroke, and how to spot the "hidden" dangers of hyponatremia.The Gear Audit: We demystify fabric technology—why GSM (Grams per Square Meter) matters more than branding, the science behind polyester vs. nylon, and why going shirtless is actually less efficient than wearing high-performance UPF 50+ gear.Actionable Protocols: How to calculate your personal sweat rate, the 1000mg-per-liter sodium rule, and the "slushie" pre-cooling method to buy yourself an extra 10–15 minutes of threshold performance.The Effort-First Override: Why you should ditch "Current Pace" on your watch, embrace the 15–40 second per mile "heat tax," and how to use run-walk cycles to stay under your critical temperature ceiling.Our website: https://www.marathonjournal.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/runningpodcastYouTube: https://youtube.com/@marathonjournalFollow us on Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/30798607Our website: https://www.marathonjournal.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/runningpodcastConnect with Us:Connect with Us:Follow us on Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/30798607
In this episode of RUNWITHALLI LIVE, I sit down with ultrarunner, coach, content creator, and one of the original voices in online running, Sage Canaday.From Division I running to Olympic Trials qualifying marathons, 100-mile trail races, coaching thousands of athletes, and building VO2 Max Productions, Sage shares one theme that kept resurfacing throughout our conversation:Patience.In a world obsessed with instant results, Sage reminds us that the best runners aren't built in weeks. They're built over years.Top Takeaways from Sage1. Be Patient and Enjoy the ProcessWhen asked what he would tell his younger self, Sage didn't talk about workouts, shoes, or race tactics.He talked about patience.As a young professional runner, he ramped his training quickly, running extremely high mileage early in his career. Looking back, he acknowledges that things could have gone very differently.His advice: Enjoy the process. Don't rush the journey. Fitness takes time. Adaptation takes time. Great performances take time.2. Think Long-Term, Not Workout-to-WorkoutOne of the most powerful themes of the episode was Sage's emphasis on long-term thinking.He explained that runners often expect immediate fitness gains after starting a new workout, training block, or program. Most adaptations take far longer than we think.Rather than chasing quick results, focus on:Months instead of daysSeasons instead of weeksYears instead of racesThe athletes who continue improving are usually the ones willing to stay patient long enough to reap the rewards.3. Consistency Beats One Good WorkoutWhen discussing marathon improvement, Sage repeatedly returned to consistency.Many runners look for the perfect workout.Sage looks for:Consistent trainingGradual progressionSustainable mileageStaying healthyHis philosophy is simple: A runner training consistently at 30 miles per week will often outperform the runner who constantly alternates between overtraining and injury.4. More Isn't Always BetterOne of Sage's biggest coaching lessons is that runners often try to do too much, too soon.Whether it's:Increasing mileage too quicklyAdding too much intensityRacing too frequentlyThe result is often the same: Injury, burnout, or both.The key is earning the next level of training rather than forcing it.5. Running Is a Lifelong SportAfter decades in the sport, Sage spoke candidly about aging, setbacks, injuries, and the reality that none of us are immune to change.His perspective was refreshing: Running doesn't have to be about chasing PRs forever.It can be about:Staying healthyStaying activeContinuing to learnRemaining connected to the running communityLongevity matters.6. Healing Requires Patience TooSage also shared his experience recovering from a significant injury.Like many runners, he initially expected a quick return.Instead, recovery took much longer than anticipated.One of his biggest lessons: Trust the process and give yourself grace. Whether you're returning from injury, rebuilding fitness, or navigating a difficult season of training, patience isn't weakness. It's often the fastest path forward.My Favorite Quote from the Episode"Just be patient. Think long-term. Things generally take longer to adapt than you think."Final ThoughtsIf there was one message Sage left us with, it's this: The runners who succeed aren't always the most talented. They're often the ones willing to stay consistent, stay healthy, and stay patient long enough to see what's possible!There is no pace too slow. Keep showing up. Your future fitness is being built one patient day at a time! Sage was an incredible guest and human to connect with on the podcast, and I couldn't be more excited to see what he continues to do and bring to runners worldwide as both a coach and top-notch athlete. He's incredibly intelligent, and fun fact: he started his YouTube channel before he even had an iPhone. Talk about a true OG!Thank you, Sage, for dropping so many gems in this episode. It was a pleasure having you on the podcast, and I know so many people will benefit from the wisdom, insights, and lessons you shared.If you're chasing a PR, navigating a busy life, trying to better understand how to train, or simply looking for tools to stay motivated and find more joy in the process, this conversation is for YOU!

Movie of the Year: 2006Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull StoryThe Tristram Shandy Podcast Opens the 2006 BracketThe Tristram Shandy podcast episode kicks off our brand new 2006 bracket on Movie of the Year. After crowning our way through 1971, the Taste Buds turn to a fresh film year. Moreover, we start with one of the strangest comedies of the decade. Michael Winterbottom's Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story is a film about making a film of an unfilmable book. Consequently, it makes a perfect launch title for a show that loves movies about movies. In this episode, Ryan, Mike, and Greg dig into metafiction, gender, and the prickly chemistry between Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon. Additionally, two new segments make their debut. Above all, we want to set the tone for a wild 2006 season.About the FilmLaurence Sterne published The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman in nine volumes between 1759 and 1767. The novel is famous for being playful, digressive, and nearly impossible to adapt. Notably, the narrator barely manages to get himself born across hundreds of pages. Winterbottom and his team turned that problem into the whole joke. As a result, the movie follows a fictional crew trying to film the book. Steve Coogan plays a vain version of himself, plus Tristram and his father, Walter. Meanwhile, Rob Brydon plays a needling version of himself and Uncle Toby. The screenplay carries the pseudonym "Martin Hardy," although Frank Cottrell-Boyce actually wrote it. Furthermore, the cast includes Keeley Hawes, Shirley Henderson, Dylan Moran, Naomie Harris, Kelly Macdonald, and Jeremy Northam. Gillian Anderson and Stephen Fry also appear as heightened versions of themselves. You can read more at Wikipedia or the original Roger Ebert review.This is the first film episode of our 2006 season. To explore the wider bracket project, visit the Movie of the Year archive. If you enjoy this Tristram Shandy podcast deep dive, our A Clockwork Orange episode from the 1971 run pairs nicely with this conversation about cinematic form.Want to hear how the season began? Start with our 2006 season intro, then dig into the 2006 bracket reveal before this episode.Metafiction and the Unfilmable NovelMetafiction sits at the center of our first discussion. Sterne wrote a novel that constantly reminds you it is a novel. Similarly, Winterbottom built a movie that keeps reminding you it is a movie. The crew breaks the fourth wall, argues about the script, and screens its own dailies. Therefore, the film becomes a hall of mirrors about storytelling itself. The Taste Buds ask a simple question. How do you adapt a book that mocks the idea of adaptation? Furthermore, we trace the lineage from Sterne to modern self-aware comedies. Films like Adaptation and Day for Night come up as obvious cousins. Ultimately, we argue that Winterbottom found the only honest solution. He filmed the failure instead of the book. Consequently, the movie respects Sterne by refusing to tame him.The Battle of the Sexes on ScreenNext, we turn to gender and how the film portrays men and women. The male characters chase status, sex, and screen time with comic desperation. Coogan, in particular, frets about his shoe lifts and his billing. Meanwhile, the women in the film often hold the real power. Kelly Macdonald plays Jenny, who grounds Coogan with calm clarity. Naomie Harris plays Jennie, a production assistant who runs circles around the panicking men. Gillian Anderson arrives late and instantly reshapes the production. By contrast, the men flail and posture. So the Taste Buds debate a thorny point. Does the movie satirize male ego, or does it quietly indulge it? Additionally, we weigh how the battle of the sexes plays inside an 18th-century story. The novel and the film both poke fun at male pride. As a result, the gender comedy spans two very different centuries.Coogan and Brydon Anchor the Tristram Shandy PodcastAbove all, the Coogan and Brydon double act drives this Tristram Shandy podcast conversation. The two comedians play exaggerated, petty versions of themselves. Their rivalry over billing, teeth, and impressions fuels the funniest scenes. Notably, this dynamic later powered the beloved series The Trip. The Taste Buds dig into why their friction feels so real. Brydon needles, Coogan bristles, and the comedy snaps into focus. Furthermore, we discuss how improvisation shapes their banter. The closing Al Pacino impression duel becomes a highlight. Meanwhile, we ask whether the pair actually like each other on screen. The answer stays gloriously unclear. Consequently, their chemistry gives a chilly intellectual film a warm, human pulse.Rushmore: The Mount Rushmore of 2006 TelevisionOur Rushmore segment asks each host to carve a Mount Rushmore of 2006 television. The year was loaded with future classics. For instance, The Wire aired its acclaimed fourth season. Meanwhile, The Office, 30 Rock, and Friday Night Lights were all finding their feet. Additionally, prestige newcomers like Dexter and Heroes premiered to big buzz. The hosts each pick four shows and defend their choices. Naturally, the debate gets heated fast. Listen to the episode to hear which four faces each Taste Bud sets in stone.I Never Metacritic I Didn't LikeThis episode debuts a brand new game called "I Never Metacritic I Didn't Like." The premise is simple and a little dangerous. We pull up a film's Metacritic profile and put the critical consensus on trial. Specifically, we test whether the aggregate score matches our own gut reactions. Tristram Shandy earned strong reviews from critics on release. However, strong scores do not always survive a Taste Buds cross-examination. Therefore, the game lets us argue with the wider critical record in real time. Expect this segment to return throughout the 2006 season. Above all, it gives us a structured excuse to fight about numbers.Why Tristram Shandy Still MattersTristram Shandy still matters because it cracked a problem that had defeated everyone before it. Winterbottom proved you can film an unfilmable book by filming the attempt. Moreover, the movie launched a now-legendary comic partnership. The Coogan and Brydon collaboration grew into The Trip and its many sequels. Additionally, the film remains a sharp, funny lesson in adaptation. Film students and Sterne scholars both still cite it today. Ultimately, the Tristram Shandy 2006 podcast discussion shows why this small comedy punches far above its weight. Notably, it kicks our 2006 bracket off with brains and mischief.Related Episodes from Movie of the Year: 2006The 2006 season is just getting started, so this list will grow each week.

She has particular expertise in working with individuals navigating chronic illness, disability, and the psychological implications of infertility.

A beloved American novel about immigration and the Great Plains is getting a new life on stage in Minneapolis. Theater Latté Da will premiere a musical adaptation of Willa Cather's classic novel “My Ántonia” at the Ritz Theater this week. The 1918 novel cemented writer Willa Cather as one of America's defining literary voices. It follows a lifelong friendship between first generation immigrants on the Nebraska prairie. More than a century later, the story still resonates across the Midwest for its portrayal of resilience and belonging. Director Jessie Austrian and composer and lyricist Kate Kilbane joined MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about the production. It will premiere Wednesday and run through July 12th at the Ritz Theater in northeast Minneapolis.

Dr. Mark Ettensohn explains why narcissistic personality disorder is often misunderstood online—and how complex trauma, shame, attachment wounds, and identity shape pathological narcissism. Narcissism has become a buzz word on social media. It has moved from a psychological understanding to a term that is used for blaming, scapegoating, and other emotionally charged narratives. This polarization has led to casting someone with narcissist traits as a villain who is intentionally cruel, manipulative, and beyond help. While those with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) can exhibit difficult or even harmful traits, social media has erased the distinction between mental illness and moral defect. One clinician cautions that this "narcisso-sphere" content contributes to the despair of an already vulnerable population and even suicidality among those who identify with the diagnosis. On this episode of Transforming Trauma, host Emilly Ruth welcomes Mark Ettensohn, Psy, D. Mark is the founder of Heal NPD, a clinical and educational platform focused on the understanding and treatment of narcissistic personality disorder. His work explores the developmental and relational roots of narcissism, including trauma, dissociation, and identity. Mark is also the author of Unmasking Narcissism: A Guide to Understanding the Narcissist in Your Life and shares widely followed educational content through his Heal NPD YouTube Channel. Transforming Trauma thanks Mark for sharing his expertise with our community. His empathetic approach to NPD invites curiosity over confrontation and genuine relational support over social media simplification.

If you're a software engineer right now, you likely feel like your world is changing overnight. We are writing half or less the amount of code that we wrote even a year ago, which represents a seismic, groundbreaking shift in our industry. For many of us, this career has always been engaging for deeply creative and intellectual reasons—and that excitement is still here. But our mental models of what it means to be a good engineer, and what it means to keep improving, have gone a little stale. In today's episode, I want to talk about a distinction that I believe will become the cornerstone mistake for seasoned engineers: confusing _practice_ with _adaptation_, and leaning on the wrong one at the worst possible moment. Two Surfaces Coming Into Contact: Picture your knowledge, skills, and toolset as one surface, and the actual state of the art as another. We've always known the surface area we could learn far exceeds what we can learn, which forces us to place bets on a learning strategy. What's changing is how fast that second surface is moving underneath us. Improvement by Practice vs. Improvement by Change: Practice is wielding what you've already adopted—smoothing out errors, building muscle memory, refining what you already know. Adaptation is fundamentally folding something new into your repertoire. Both are real forms of improvement, but they are not interchangeable. The Cornerstone Mistake for Senior Engineers: Later in your career, the time you spend adapting naturally goes down as you settle into practice. The biggest error I'm already watching engineers make is moving too quickly toward practice when the industry is loudly calling for adaptation instead. Inspect and Adapt—at the Right Altitude: Sprint retros were never really about getting marginally better at the thing you already do. The intent of "inspect and adapt" is to step up one level and examine the system. The trap is treating adaptation like a minor refinement—getting a little better at prompting—when it should mean asking whether you're thinking about prompting in the wrong way entirely. Question the Ratio, Not Just the Output: Real adaptation looks like asking whether you have the right mix of human and agent on a problem. Are you leaning on the agent for things you shouldn't, or failing to lean on it for the things you should? Have you genuinely thought about how sub-agents or an agent team are working the problem you're producing? A Spectrum, Not a Binary: On one end, you make micro-adjustments to your refinement process. On the other end of experimentation, you ask whether refinement—or even having engineers plan the work—is the right thing at all. The point isn't that practice is dead; it's that the industry is changing fast enough that the adaptive end of that spectrum deserves far more of your attention than it used to. Episode Homework: Take something you currently treat as a practice problem—"how do I refine tickets faster?"—and step up a level. Ask the adaptive version of the question instead: "Is refinement even the right thing anymore?"
How can we approach aging with more joy, empathy, and meaningful connection?We often talk about lifespan, or how long we live, but Kerry Burnight believes the more important question is how fully we live along the way.Burnight is a gerontologist, former professor of geriatric medicine, and author of Joyspan: The Art and Science of Thriving in Life's Second Half. Drawing from decades of experience working with older adults, she discusses why adopting a “growth aging mindset” can change the way we think about getting older, and why autonomy matters just as much as safety in conversations with aging loved ones. As she puts it, “it's not just the big moments, it's the little moments, too.”In this Quick Thinks episode of Think Fast Talk Smart, Burnight and host Matt Abrahams explore the role of listening, storytelling, and empathy in effective communication across generations. Through memorable examples and actionable advice, Burnight offers a compassionate framework for talking about — and thinking about — aging differently.Episode Reference Links:Dr. Kerry BurnightKerry's Book: JoyspanEp.176 From Stereotypes to Synergy: Communicating Across Generations Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:53) - Aging Mindsets (05:21) - Give of the Day (08:49) - Difficult Aging Conversations (19:21) - Explaining Complex Ideas (20:50) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.

Admiral James Stavridis examines resource evaluation using David Farragut's victory at Mobile Bay as a model of combined arms and technological adaptation. Farragut successfully managed the transition from wooden sailing ships to ironclad steam vessels. In contrast, Captain Lloyd Bucher of the USS Pueblo faced a tragic lack of resources when captured by North Koreans in 1968. Without support, Bucher made the controversial but rational decision to surrender to save his crew. Finally, Captain Brett Crozier of the USS Theodore Roosevelt is highlighted for prioritizing his people during the COVID-19 pandemic, illustrating that moral leadership sometimes carries harsh career consequences.
