The bad news? The 0-0 draw at home was convincing at best and downright difficult watch at worst. So what can the Galaxy do? Hosts Josh Guesman and Sophie Nicholaou discuss the Galaxy's woes in their first 270 minutes of soccer in 2026 and why the midfield still feels disconnected. But maybe the defense is stepping it up while the midfield and offense figure it out? No shots allowed on goal for San Miguelito, and the Galaxy have only given up one goal in the first three games (minus the PK against NYCFC). But can the Galaxy's defense do it all? And what happens if the Galaxy get scored on first? Can the offense figure it out before the pressure really ramps up on this team and the coaching staff? Let's talk! -- Corner of the Galaxy is kicking off Season 18, just a few shows past number 1,270! And we can't wait to show you everything we've got in store for 2026!

A stalemate at the DHSP was just enough! The LA Galaxy are officially moving on to the Round of 16 in the Concacaf Champions Cup after a tense 0-0 draw against Sporting San Miguelito. It wasn't pretty, and it was certainly a "scrap," but the away goals rule has the G's moving forward.
Today we are talking about approaching one thing you do in a new way… that will positively benefit your life in lots of ways. It's the way you plan your meals. It's the shift of thinking about food or meals when you start to feel hungry or when it's about time to eat… to thinking about meals ahead of time.. sometimes a few hours and other times a few days before. It's actually EASIER than doing it last minute because you can plan for a few meals at once rather than each meal like a fire drill when its time to eat… it can be cheaper because you aren't having everything delivered and it's way healthier because we know home cooked meals if done right, are usually the best for you. We all know we're going to eat today. We know roughly when we're going to eat today. So it doesn't make sense to deal with it at the last minute…. when you're starving, and stressed to get something going and often end up eating much later than you want to. This episode isn't about telling you what to eat. Because of course, do what you want. It's a really helpful chat I think about how to think differently about eating so you stay aligned with your goals, your health, your energy… and honestly your peace of mind. ***The Problem Isn't Cravings… It's Lack of Planning*** Most people think they "fell off" because of willpower. But most of the time? It's not cravings. It's not discipline. It's poor planning. You didn't think about lunch… You didn't prep dinner… You showed up somewhere starving… and suddenly you're stuck with whatever options exist. And then you feel frustrated… not because you wanted that food… but because you didn't plan ahead. When you change the way you think about meals… everything shifts. *** The Mindset Shift… Always Be Thinking One Meal Ahead*** Always be thinking about your next meal before you need it. Not obsessively… just intentionally. Ask yourself: • What am I eating next? • Where will I be? • Will there be options I actually want? • Do I need to prep something or bring something? This one shift removes: last-minute stress decision fatigue random eating you regret overspending on delivery You stop reacting… and start operating on purpose. ***My Personal Food Philosophy (Without Telling You How To Eat)*** For me personally, I eat very specifically because that's when I feel my best. Mostly single-ingredient foods… Organic fruits and vegetables… Grass-fed meats… Organic eggs… raw cheese… rice… pasta… chicken… High protein, lower carbs… zero refined sugar… minimal processed ingredients. Kind of carnivore-ish with fruits, honey, berries, dates — foods that actually fuel me. But listen… this podcast is not about copying how I eat. You should eat in a way that makes you feel energized and aligned. The real takeaway is this: Whatever your style is… planning ahead protects it. ***Tactical Strategies That Make This Easy*** 1. Cook Once, Eat Twice Dinner isn't just dinner… it's tomorrow's lunch. Make extra on purpose. Future you will be grateful when lunch is already solved. 2. Pre-Decide Your "Default Meals" Have a short list of meals you rotate. Less thinking… more consistency. Decision fatigue disappears when meals become automatic. 3. Think About Your Schedule Like a Food Map Look at your day and ask: Am I driving somewhere long? Am I going somewhere with limited options? Do I need snacks? Should I eat before I go? Planning food is really just planning logistics. 4. Bring Food Without Making It Complicated A cooler bag… simple containers… prepped proteins… fruit… dates… Not fancy. Just intentional. 5. Make Eating Out an Event — Not a Reaction For me, eating out is something I enjoy intentionally. Not something I fall into because I didn't think ahead. That small mindset shift changes your relationship with food entirely. ***The Hidden Benefits Nobody Talks About*** Planning meals ahead doesn't just change what you eat… It changes your whole day. You save time. You save money. You avoid DoorDash panic orders. You reduce mental clutter. You feel calmer because decisions are already made. And honestly… You feel proud of yourself because your actions match your goals. ***The Bigger Picture*** This isn't really about food. It's about living intentionally. When you plan your meals… you're saying: "I'm not leaving my health up to chance." You're not reacting to hunger… you're designing your life. And that energy spills into everything else: Your workouts. Your focus. Your confidence. Look at your day the night before! Think about what meals you (and your family if you have one) will eat the next day. It changes how it all goes!! This one shift might sound small… But it completely changes how you show up in your body and your life. And that's awesome!!

In this episode we dive into Progress ReportsThe ChallengeYou know the moment. That message lands. Your project manager needs a status update on the project and they need it right now. Not in two weeks when it's supposed to happen. Right now.You have an 11,000 activity schedule. A critical path that keeps shifting. A structural steel delay throwing everything off. And zero minutes to spare.Usually this means three hours buried in P6. Copying data to Excel. Building out reports. Attaching baselines, unattaching baselines, running analysis. All just to deliver a simple email.On this episode of Beyond Deadlines, I sat down with Greg Lawton, CEO of Nodes and Links, to test whether a purpose built AI tool could draft that same status email in 60 seconds.

Oil reached a fresh yearly high as US-Iran tensions intensified, with Washington boosting military presence while leaving room for negotiations. Markets rallied after Trump suggested a 10–15 day window for a deal, though speculative positioning remains measured, with strong demand for high-strike call options signaling limited expectations of a major price surge. Meanwhile, European energy markets have also strengthened, with Summer 2026 gas and baseload power prices rising, partly driven by movements in emissions allowances.

0:00 - It went down to OT in each game, but USA & Canada's men's hockey squads both advanced to the semis! Olympic hockey has been nothing short of electric.Even though a bunch of Avs play for Team Canada, Brett and Vic were secretly kinda rooting for them to lose to Czechia. Why is that?16:44 - As great as those hockey games were yesterday, it's a shame they came down to 3-on-3 OT. Keep it 5-on-5 until someone wins. Do it just like the NHL playoffs. Rink scheduling issues be damned!31:49 - We're at the "halfway point" of the NBA season (even though it's not halfway - we're farther than that, but the All-Star break feels like halfway. You know what we mean). So what are reasonable expectations for the Nuggets in the last "half" of the season?

Two Ways Across Ireland: Direct and Easy, or Scenic and Story-Filled Traveling between Dublin and Galway might look simple on a map – a straight shot from east to west. And it can be. But this is Ireland, and sometimes the best part of the journey is what happens when you detour off the motorway. Dublin to Galway Drive: 2 Routes Across Ireland Dublin and Galway are two of Ireland's most popular city bases. Whether you're starting your trip in the capital or finishing along the Wild Atlantic Way, chances are you'll travel between them. You have two very different options: The quick motorway route (about 2.5 hours direct) A route that dips south of the motorway and turns the drive into a full-day – or even two-day – journey Which one makes sense for you really comes down to how much time you have between Dublin and Galway. If you're working within a tight schedule, the motorway is efficient and straightforward. If you've built flexibility into your itinerary, leaving the motorway opens up castles, early Christian history, and some wonderfully open midlands landscapes along the way. This article is also available as the Traveling in Ireland podcast, episode 326. Use the player below to listen or scroll to continue reading the article and get resource links. Route 1: The Quick and Easy Motorway (M4 to M6) If you want to arrive in Galway with plenty of afternoon ahead of you, the motorway is your friend. Leaving Dublin, you'll take the M4, which seamlessly connects to the M6 about a third of the way across the country. It's an easy drive, well-signed, and very manageable even if you're new to driving in Ireland. There are two tolls on this route: Kilcock–Kinnegad (M4) West of Ballinasloe (M6) Depending on your starting point in Dublin, you may also encounter the barrier-free electronic toll on the M50 ring road. Learn more about toll roads in Ireland – and why you probably don't need to purchase a tool pass from your rental car company This route is ideal if: You want an uninterrupted afternoon in Galway (or Dublin) You're planning evening music and pub hopping You're short on time But even the “quick” route offers one classic stop. A Stop in Athlone: Sean's Bar Roughly halfway across the country sits Athlone, and more specifically, Sean's Bar — the oldest pub in Ireland (and Europe), with origins dating back to 900 AD. As you enter, Sean's Bar feels exactly like you hope it will. The long wooden bar anchors the front room, worn smooth by centuries of elbows and conversation. There's usually a fire glowing in the hearth, adding that unmistakable warmth that Irish pubs do so well. Tucked into corners near the back you'll find cozy snugs, perfect for quiet chats, while the walls are layered with memorabilia that tells the story of the building and the people who've passed through it. There's even a small viewing area where part of the original wattle and wicker wall is visible – uncovered during renovations and now preserved as a reminder of just how long this spot has welcomed travelers. Most travelers pop in for a quick pint, stretch their legs, and continue west. But if you have time, you can book into one of the workshops: learn to pour a pint of Guinness, sip uisce beatha – the water of life – with a whiskey tasting, or enjoy an Irish coffee while hearing about the pub's history. If you're hungry, the Left Bank Bistro, across the street, is an excellent choice for a relaxed and satisfying meal before getting back on the road. Parking tip: Street parking near the pub is limited. Follow the road up the hill for paid public parking (bring coins or download the parking app to pay). From here, it's about an hour to Galway — and you'll likely arrive with the afternoon still ahead of you. Route 2: The Scenic Detour through County Offaly If you have a full day between Dublin and Galway – or even better, two – dipping south of the motorway transforms a simple transfer into a highlight of your itinerary. Exiting the motorway at the N52 will lead you to A remarkable castle estate One of Ireland's most important monastic sites Optional whiskey experiences A castle stay Wide-open parklands reclaimed from peat bog It's slower. It's richer. And it feels wonderfully “middle of Ireland.” From the M6, exit at Kilbeggan and follow the N52 south toward Birr. Birr Castle: Innovation and Gardens in the Irish Midlands Birr Castle Demesne is one of those places that surprises people. Still a private residence of the Parsons family (the Earls of Rosse), the estate blends science, history, and landscape beautifully. The on-site Science Centre tells the story of the family's remarkable innovations – from early photography to engineering feats – and most impressively, the Leviathan telescope, which was the largest in the world until the 1920s. Visiting Birr Castle isn't only about innovation and astronomy. Once you leave the Science Centre, the estate opens up into more than 120 acres of gardens, parklands, and quiet walking paths for your exploration. Massive trees, carefully designed formal gardens, and wide green lawns make it easy to linger longer than you planned. The castle itself is still a private residence, which makes it feel lived-in rather than staged. At certain times of year, guided tours bring you inside a handful of rooms on the main level – spaces that reflect both the family's long history and the reality that this is still their home. There's something rather lovely about that balance of past and present. You might even be lucky enough to spot a member of the family coming or going, a small reminder that this isn't simply a preserved monument. If you're traveling with children, the treehouse alone could make the stop worthwhile. It's less “simple wooden platform” and more storybook fortress, built for climbing, exploring, and letting off steam. Parents can relax nearby while the kids burn energy before getting back in the car. Birr Castle Demense is the kind of place that works equally well for adults who want to wander gardens and for families who need space to play – and that's not always easy to find in one stop. Plan on at least two to three hours here. It's one of those places that quietly earns more time the longer you stay. Clonmacnoise: Ireland's Ancient Crossroads From Birr, make your way back toward the M6 for a stop at Clonmacnoise, one of Ireland's significant early Christian sites. Founded in the 6th century by St. Ciarán, Clonmacnoise grew where Ireland's great crossroads once met – the River Shannon running north to south, and the main land route crossing east to west through the boglands. In its time, this was a place of movement, trade, learning, and faith. It became one of the great monastic centers of Ireland during the era of ‘saints and scholars'. Today, visitors can wander through extensive church ruins that stretch across the site, with two round towers rising above the landscape as they have for centuries. The three high crosses are especially worth your time. Intricately carved and remarkably expressive, they tell stories in stone – biblical scenes, symbols, and craftsmanship that still draw you in when you stand close. Allow at least 90 minutes to explore properly, especially if you want to spend time studying the high crosses and walking the full grounds. As an OPW heritage site, it's also a worthwhile inclusion if you're using an OPW Heritage Card during your trip. Optional Add-Ons: Whiskey Experiences If you enjoy Irish whiskey – or want to understand it better – there are two convenient stops along these routes. Both offer guided experiences that can deepen your appreciation for one of Ireland's most famous exports. At Kilbeggan, just off the M6, you can choose to stop for that whiskey experience (no children under 12), or continue south on the N52 to Tullamore distillery tour (strictly over 21; no children).Advance booking for both tours is highly recommended. Stay Overnight at Kinnitty Castle If you have the time to stretch this journey into two days, Kinnitty Castle makes a memorable place to pause. Book direct – Booking.com Set near the Slieve Bloom Mountains, this is not a polished luxury resort with a spa and endless amenities. It's a castle with character – exposed stone, heavy wood doors, slightly creaking floors, and rooms that lean into their history rather than hiding it. The baronial rooms in particular feel wonderfully atmospheric, with stone walls and timber beams that remind you exactly where you are. It's the kind of place you choose when you want to slow down. Evenings naturally drift toward the Library Bar, where a fire and a comfortable chair make it easy to linger over a drink. Dinner in The Dungeon restaurant adds a bit of fun to the experience, and if you arrive earlier in the day, afternoon tea is a lovely way to settle in. During the day, there are simple activities if you want them – horseback riding (arranged in advance), archery, tennis, and hill walking in the Slieve Bloom Mountains. There's even a fairy trail that's charming whether or not you're traveling with children. One important thing to know: there is no elevator. Some of the most atmospheric rooms are at the top of the castle, so if stairs are a concern, request a ground-floor or lower-level room and pack lightly. This is part of the authenticity – it hasn't been over-modernized – but it's worth planning for. Lough Boora Parklands: A Landscape Reimagined If you've spent the night nearby and want one more stop before arriving in Galway or Dublin, Lough Boora Parklands offers a completely different kind of experience. This was once a working peat bog – lowland bogland harvested for fuel for decades. Today, it has been thoughtfully reclaimed and reshaped into a vast outdoor space filled with lakes, wetlands, woodland, and open pasture. Walking paths wind through the landscape, and the sculpture park is especially compelling. Many of the installations were created with the history of the bog in mind, and some even incorporate the original tools and machinery used in peat harvesting. There's something powerful about seeing those remnants transformed into art. It's also a place where families can relax for a while. There are easy trails, opportunities for bird watching, a fairy trail for younger visitors, and bike hire if you want to cover more ground. You'll even find evidence of a Mesolithic site, a reminder that people have moved through this landscape for thousands of years. The drive between Dublin and Galway can be a straightforward 2.5-hour journey. Or it can be castles, Celtic crosses, telescopes, whiskey, and wide skies over reclaimed bogland. If you simply need to get from one city to the other, the motorway works beautifully. But if you have the time – and even a little curiosity – you might find that taking the long way becomes one of your favorite days in Ireland.

In today's episode, Sanjana Paul, the Executive Director of Rooted Futures Lab, shared how her organization is bridging the gap between technology and environmental justice to create a more equitable and sustainable future.Sanjana explained that environmental justice, as a concept, ensures equal protection from environmental harm, regardless of income, race, or geography. She shared a disturbing insight from Dr. Robert Bullard's research: low-income communities and communities of color are disproportionately burdened by pollution and environmental hazards. “A kid anywhere in the world should be able to breathe and not be breathing in pollution,” Sanjana said.Rooted Futures Lab is tackling this challenge by merging education, research, and action. A key initiative involves hosting environmental hackathons, where young scientists and engineers learn to develop technologies with environmental awareness at their core. “We see hackathons as a fun and community-centric way to introduce hands-on environmental education,” she explained. These events inspire the next generation of engineers to think critically about the environmental impact of their innovations.The organization also collaborates with students and researchers to reimagine technologies like refrigeration systems through workshops that focus on reducing environmental harm. Additionally, they are conducting research on digital infrastructure, such as data centers, to analyze their environmental impact and propose sustainable alternatives.“We should be trying to be better engineers,” Sanjana emphasized. “How can we build transit systems that get us from one place to another without giving a kid asthma?” Her work highlights how technology, when approached thoughtfully, can be used to address systemic inequities and reduce environmental harm.By focusing on educating future engineers, conducting groundbreaking research, and fostering collective action, Sanjana and Rooted Futures Lab are paving the way for a greener, fairer future.tl;dr:Sanjana Paul defines environmental justice and explains its connection to technology and systemic inequities.Rooted Futures Lab educates young engineers through hackathons to foster environmentally conscious innovation.Sanjana highlights key projects, including research on digital infrastructure and sustainable design workshops.She shares how her superpower, connecting the dots, enables her to bridge fields for positive impact.Sanjana encourages collaboration, curiosity, and deep thinking to address environmental challenges effectively.How to Develop Connecting the Dots As a SuperpowerSanjana describes her superpower as “connecting the dots.” She shared how her diverse background in electrical engineering, environmental science, and energy policy allows her to see links between seemingly unrelated fields. “These dots may not seem like they connect, but they really do to me,” Sanjana said. Her ability to uncover these connections enables her to address complex challenges, like bridging environmental justice and technology, with a holistic approach.Sanjana's work at Rooted Futures Lab exemplifies her superpower. While working in atmospheric sensing, she observed the devastating impacts of extreme weather events and pollution. This inspired her to connect environmental justice with technology, leading to the creation of Rooted Futures Lab. The organization now focuses on educating engineers about the environmental impacts of technology, hosting hackathons, and reimagining infrastructure to align with environmental justice principles.Tips for Developing the Superpower:Be Curious: Treat every moment as an opportunity to learn or teach.Think Holistically: Look for connections between seemingly unrelated fields or ideas.Engage with Others: Work collaboratively in a community to tackle complex problems.Slow Down: Take time to reflect on root causes instead of reacting to immediate issues.Learn from Experts: Seek knowledge from those working in areas you want to understand better.By following Sanjana's example and advice, you can make connecting the dots a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

Rethinking Traditional Horsemanship and Finding a Kinder Way Forward Description In this episode of Ride On with Julie Goodnight, we take a deep dive into what non-confrontational handling looks like with horses. I'll share how guidance differs from micromanagement, and how trust, consistency, and clarity create willing partners—not resentful ones. I'll start with some seasonal updates from the ranch, then share a powerful story about a mare named Truth Takes Time, who showed me just how far quiet leadership can go. Finally, we'll wrap up with listener questions on managing ulcers, working through disagreements with your trainer, and a question about one of the important tenets of Classical Horsemanship.

Arne Slot and Curtis Jones reflect on Liverpool advancing to the fifth round of the Emirates FA Cup after beating Brighton & Hove Albion 3-0 at Anfield on Saturday night.We also get analysis from former Reds David Thompson and Jay Spearing, who joined Harriet Prior pitchside after the full-time whistle.
Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney gave a rousing speech at the World Economic Forum on January 20, 2026 about the rupture of the rules-based order of the globalized economy, and he emphasized the need to build new coalitions to sustain the pressure coming from the United States' emerging authoritarianism. Carney said, “Great powers have begun using economic integration as weapons, tariffs as leverage, financial infrastructure as coercion, supply chains as vulnerabilities to be exploited. You cannot live within the lie of mutual benefit through integration, when integration becomes the source of your subordination.” Just as globalized, economic integrations are being weaponized by the United States, then Big Tech's integrations woven throughout our lives will continue to become the source of our own subordination, especially as surveillance capitalism heads towards it's logical conclusion of an all-pervasive, AI Big Brother, perhaps eventually explicitly tied into authoritarian governments. The AI Big Brother has already started within the context of private companies, but with the outdated Third-Party doctrine of the Fourth Amendment, then any data given to a third party has "no legitimate 'expectation of privacy'." From UNITED STATES v. MILLER (1976): "The Fourth Amendment does not prohibit the obtaining of information revealed to a third party and conveyed by him to Government authorities." So the US government can request almost any data shared with a third party without a warrant, and given Big Tech's cozy relationship to a democratically-backsliding US government, then who knows what kinds of backroom deals are being made to automate data sharing. We're already in an era where almost all data given to a third party is not considered to be private, and you can start to see some early indications for how this can go wrong in Taylor Lorenz's interview with 404 Media's Joe Cox about ICE's surveillance technologies. It seems likely that we are entering into the very early phases of Orwell's worst nightmare of a 1984 surveillance state powered by Big Tech's AI. In this op-ed podcast episode, I connect some dots between Carney's Davos speech about the hegemonic forces in the geopolitical sphere and the parallels with Big Tech's push towards "contextually aware-AI," which is just an always-on AI that is surveillance capitalism on steroids. Carney's speech provides a lot of insights for how Canada is navigating this new reality where the rules-based order on the International stage seems to be dissolving. One of his deepest insights is to simply name the truth, and to describe precisely what is happening. He refers to a powerful story from Vaclav Havel's The Power of the Powerless where shopkeepers eventually "took their [propaganda] signs down" during communist rule after they were no longer willing to live within a lie. Carney says: "The system's power comes not from its truth, but from everyone's willingness to perform as if it were true, and its fragility comes from the same source. When even one person stops performing, when the greengrocer removes his sign, the illusion begins to crack. Friends, it is time for companies and countries to take their signs down." Taking down metaphoric signs breaks the spell of the collective performative ritual that sustains the power of an authoritarian regime. Taking a sign down is also the embodiment of the first lesson of Timothy Synder's On Tyranny, which is "Do Not Obey in Advance." This lesson is certainly easier said than done, and I've been surprised how pervasive and powerful the chilling effects to remain silent can be. I find myself self-censoring, going dark on social media, and just generally not speaking the full truth as I see it. So this episode is a step in that direction of trying to name things as I see them, but also drawing the parallels between these broader political contexts and how they're collapsing into the technological contexts.
