In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro explore a chilling moment of Cold War history and descend into the strange world of underground conspiracy theories. First, American soldiers on a Korean War patrol stumble upon a crashed MiG-15 fighter jet frozen into a mountainside—its young pilot eerily preserved in ice, as if time itself simply stopped. Then the conversation tunnels into bizarre modern myths: secret Walmart tunnel networks, the alleged alien-linked Dulce Base beneath New Mexico, hidden passageways under Los Angeles, and mysterious facilities buried deep beneath Antarctic ice. What happens when real history, classified military activity, and human curiosity collide? Expect weird facts, bizarre history, and strange stories that blur the line between documented events and the conspiracies they inspire. If you love odd discoveries, Cold War mysteries, and underground legends, this episode is packed with curiosity-fueling intrigue. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Antarctic Treaty System explained—why it matters today. Season 3 of South Pole begins with a deep, accessible guide to the Antarctic Treaty System: the international agreement that keeps Antarctica demilitarized, dedicated to peace, science, and environmental protection. Political and environmental philosopher Dr. Alejandra Mancilla (University of Oslo) traces how the treaty emerged from overlapping territorial claims and Cold War tensions—and how it evolved into today's consultative vs. non-consultative membership model, where decision-making is tied to “substantial scientific research” and consensus rules shape outcomes. We unpack the 1991 Environmental Protocol, the ban on mineral extraction through 2048, and the big debates now facing Antarctic governance: tourism, legitimacy, climate change, and who gets to decide Antarctica's future.Episode Guest: Dr. Alejandra MancillaVisit Dr. Mancilla's websiteFind Dr. Mancilla's article hereBrowse Dr. Mancilla's publications on Google ScholarLearn more about the Antarctic Treaty hereSouth Pole: What if Antarctica had Legal Personhood?Read Antarctic journalist Tiara Walter's work Episode Transcript and more information on the Pine Forest Media WebsiteFollow Pine Forest Media on Instagram @pineforestmediaHosted, produced and edited by Clark Marchese Cover art and PFM logo by Laurel Wong.

In this episode, Jason delivers a powerful message about mindset: reactors vs. preventers. Using lessons from Coach Carter, construction leadership, and even Antarctic exploration, Jason breaks down the dangerous "victim mentality" that shows up in project management blaming design, blaming time, blaming trades, blaming the owner instead of building systems that prevent failure in the first place. He challenges superintendents, project managers, and leaders to stop glorifying job recoveries and crisis fixes and instead build disciplined systems that eliminate the need for them. What you'll learn in this episode: Why reacting is not leadership. How CPM culture reinforces victim behavior. Why prevention is more valuable than heroic recovery. The difference between fixers and builders. How preparation creates control and accountability. Why disciplined pre-construction and weekly planning matter. True builders don't brag about saving a broken project.They build systems so it never breaks in the first place.

One thing that I'll always remember about the end of my daily show experience is that one accompanying factor was the start of a war. It can be hard to keep at things when you're feeling down, and war had broken out in the Middle East the day I broke my streak of over 100 daily episodes. That's on my mind again because today's Cardinal is of Palestinian descent, and another war broke out today. So before we move on, I want to endorse both working for peace  and praying for peace. Goodness knows we need to do all we can, and that we need all the help we can get.  Also, before we get into things, please note that this episode was basically the one that sealed the deal on me going into my most recent hiatus. It took more research than expected because of the number of serious accusations adjacent to the story of our Cardinal of the day. Arguably I *could* have told most of future Cardinal Chomalí's story without getting into the Karadima case and subsequent Barros controversy, but that would have taken a lot of intentional sidelining of topics that unfortunately need to be front and center regardless of how controversial they are. Dozens of times we've seen the consequences of downplaying or sidelining such things, and I don't intend to contribute to that. If Cardinal Chomalí goes to the next round, I promise more of the focus will be on his own life and less on the dung he found himself shoveling. And now for the official warning: please note that this episode includes extensive discussion of scandal caused by the sexual abuse of minors and coverups. Listener discretion is advised. Today we're looking at our fifth bishop from the list of new Cardinals Pope Francis elevated on December 7th 2024–his last consistory for the creation of new Cardinals. Fernando Natalio CHOMALÍ GARIB, who describes himself as a descendent of a Palestinian, was born on March 10, 1957 in Santiago, Chile, the capital and largest city basically in the middle of the almost comically long country along South America's Pacific coast. Fernando is one of our late blooming vocations–his first degree was in Civil Engineering, though admittedly it was from the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, which does host a seminary, though presumably our civil engineer didn't go through that side of things. Instead, when Fernando did decide to go to seminary and study theology and philosophy and such, it was through the Pontifical Major Seminary of Santiago, a storied institution in the suburbs. Enter the B plot for today, because in 1984, the same year Fernando entered seminary, a group of parishioners reported the “improper conduct” of another I cannot emphasize enough quite different Fernando, Father Fernando Karadima. The report was made to the Archbishop of Santiago, a man whose name I will not trouble you with because this is going  to be an episode with a lot of names as-is and he'll get his own episode in time. Allegedly the letter containing the report was “torn up and thrown away”, in any event nothing came of it at the time. The Archbishop's secretary, Juan Barros, possibly already Father Barros by this stage, was a protege of Karadima and would later wind up accused of helping cover up Father Karadima's crimes, and this is not the last time we will see him, so keep that name in mind. To recap, we have Father Karadima, a powerfully connected child rapist, potential Father Barros, a fan of Father Karadima and an alleged enabler, and not-yet Father Chomalí, our Cardinal of the day, who isn't connected to our B-Plot yet, so let's move his side of things forward and see how this plays out. In 1991, after seven years of study on top of his engineering degree, Franando Chomalí was ordained a priest for the Archdiocese of Santiago de Chile. After two years of yet further study, he then obtained a licentiate in Moral Theology from the Gregorian in Rome, followed a year later by a doctorate in Sacred Theology from the same storied institution in 1994. I did see some reference to pastoral work, but considering we're like five degrees deep and he still isn't done studying–hello masters in bioethics from the John Paul II Institute in Rome–it's not going to surprise you that Father Chomalí mainly followed the academic route, serving in bioethical and theological posts at the Major Pontifical Seminary of Santiago and the Pontifical University of Chile–both of these, you might recall, being institutions that he had personally attended. In 2001, presumably in part due to his bioethics credentials, he was added to the Pontifical Academy for Life for life, which, yes, I'm repeating myself because not only is “for Life” part of the name, but apparently it was a lifetime appointment. Unfortunately in 2016 Pope Francis shook things up so there are no more appointments to the Pontifical Academy for Life for life. In 2003, our B plot shows back up, with a successor Cardinal Archbishop of Santiago getting more reports of Father Karadima's monstrosities. You'll be pleased to know that at this point the Chilean Bishop's Conference had new processes in place and you'll be furious to know that those new processes were basically ignored while the Cardinal told the complainant that he was praying for him. Nothing was done, hashtag thoughts and prayers. The next year the same cardinal received another report, and you'll be pleased to know that this time the case wound up referred to a specialist, who determined the allegations were credible and recommended action. You'll then be *again* furious to learn that the Cardinal proceeded to ignore the determination and dismissed the case anyways. You'll hear more about all this in *that* cardinal's episode, for now let's get back to Fr  Chomalí, whose phone is ringing. His white phone. It's Pope Benedict, calling to make him Auxiliary Bishop of Santiago and Titular Bishop of Nola because you apparently just can't be an auxiliary bishop without a little patch of North Africa to theoretically but not practically call your own. Anyways, that all went down in 2006. In 2010, the Karadima case became international news for the first time when victims filed a criminal complaint in Chile's courts, twenty-five years after that first 1985 letter to Church authorities. The civil courts did not prove more helpful, dismissing the lawsuit due to the time having passed since the events in question, which really has me wanting to flip some tables. For what it's worth, the presiding judge made it clear that she thought Karadima was guilty as sin. The accusations now being public apparently stirred the Church into action. Suddenly the stonewalling Cardinal–reminder that's not Chomalí but another prelate we'll discuss in time–sent a reportedly 700 page file over to the Vatican, which in 2011 found Karadima guilty of abusing minors and sentenced him to a "life of prayer and penitence”. The by then 80 year old Karadima would continue protesting his innocence and by some accounts flaunt his ban from ministry, saying Mass for his followers, which, yes, he definitely *still* had followers. Also in 2011, our Cardinal of the Day Bishop Chomalí became Archbishop Chomalí when Pope Benedict made him Archbishop of Concepción, a bit south of Santiago, which was his first time really serving outside the capital apart from his studies in Rome. And with the Karadima case casting a shadow over the Church across the country, Archbishop Chomalí had his work cut out for him, with trust in the Church as an institution plummeting from 61% in 2010 to just 36% a year later according to polling data. Incredibly, Archbishop Chomalí managed to *increase* church membership in these conditions, probably aided by the broadly popular election of Pope Francis in 2013. Pope Francis wasn't magic though, and it's time to talk about one of his bigger mistakes. Remember Juan Barros, the Archbishop's secretary who was accused of helping protect his mentor Father Karadima? Well, he had been made a bishop back in the 90s, and in 2015 against the advice of basically everyone everywhere, Pope Francis decided to give Barros a new post as Bishop of Osorno. One of the voices against the appointment was Archbishop Chomalí, who was serving as Apostolic Administrator of Osorno at the time and so had front row seats to just how poorly it was coming across, and urged Pope Francis to reconsider. In addition, about half the clergy of the diocese publicly opposed the move–coming out in public against the guy who is set to be your boss is pretty gutsy–and even the politicians got involved, with 51 members of Chile's National Congress signing a letter opposing the move. Pope Francis carried on undaunted, and Bishop Barros was installed in a rather poorly attended ceremony, that is, poorly attended unless you count the hundreds of protestors who stormed the Cathedral. Bishop Barros came over to Osorno from the post he had held as the Military Ordinary for Chile. With that spot now vacant, you guessed it, Archbishop Chomalí was tapped to administer things for Chile's military, which, it's worth noting, grants him the rare privilege of being associated with Antarctica on GCatholic's database, thanks to the Chapel of St. Mary Queen of Peace in Chile's Antarctic zone. The controversy over Bishop Barros came to a head a few years later, when Pope Francis visited Chile. To be clear, the visit *didn't* calm things down–the word “firebombings” comes to mind–and Pope Francis didn't make a conciliatory gesture during the trip. Quite the opposite in fact. Pope Francis wound up defending his choice to appoint Bishop Barros and keep him in place, stating that the case against Barrros was baseless slander, committing that if he ever received evidence, he would respond. With the gauntlet thrown, the evidence apparently came, such that within months Pope Francis was apologizing for his stance, and the *entire* Bishops' Conference of Chile offered their resignations to the Pope, which might give a sense of the magnitude reached here. In the end, most of the bishops, including Archbishop Chomalí, were allowed to carry on, resignations not accepted, though Bishop Barros and three others were sacked as part of the reckoning. Later in the year, presumably as additional fallout from the visit and the subsequent fresh round of investigations, Karadima himself was laicized. *Mr.* Karadima would die in 2021. In October of 2023, Pope Francis appointed Archbishop Chomalí as the fourteenth Archbishop of Santiago de Chile. He became President of the Episcopal Conference of Chile at the same time, which I imagine was no coincidence, though there have been times recently when the two posts are held by different people. He had been the Conference's Vice President since 2021. Given his influential post in Chile's capital, Archbishop Chomalí's inclusion in Pope Francis's last batch of new Cardinals was hardly a surprise. Even though Pope Francis didn't heed his advice at the time, it's likely that Chomalí's advice against one of the biggest mistakes of Pope Francis' papacy was on both their minds as Francis made him a Cardinal. Shortly after Cardinal Chomalí was elevated, The Pillar, which is becoming something of a go-to source for church news, published a series of short interviews with several of the new Cardinals, including Chomalí. And so as we prepare to wrap things up for today, I'd like to offer you a short quotation from that piece so you can get a bit of flavoring from him rather than from the  various dumpster fires he was tasked with putting out: “Christian anthropology says that if we want to be happy, we have to give ourselves to others. And secular anthropology tells us that we have to seek happiness by our own means. But things end up badly for us that way because we find ourselves in a society that competes but doesn't find itself. And that is precisely where conflicts arise.” Along with his brother cardinals, Fernando Natalio Cardinal CHOMALÍ GARIB participated in the recent election of Pope Leo. Just before the conclave, Cardinal Chomalí shared a video of himself hand-washing his shirt as part of his preparations, and of course you can catch that exciting link in the show notes. Cardinal Chomali will be eligible to participate in future conclaves until he turns 80 in 2037. Today's episode is part of Cardinal Numbers, and we'll be talking about another one of the new cardinals next month. Or well, later this month, since this episode is a bit late. Thank you for listening, God bless you all! Thanks, Joe!

Emperor penguins are icons of the penguin world. They are only found in the wild in Antarctica and breed and raise their babies on the ice. Because the Antarctic is so massive and difficult to explore, scientists rely on satellite images to detect colonies and the penguins' activities.Once a year penguins shed all their feathers on the ice and replace them with new ones. The feathers they leave behind can also be seen on satellites - but now scientists are worried. Recently they haven't seen much evidence of this “mega moult”. BBC climate and science correspondent Georgina Rannard explains what this could mean for the Emperor penguin populations. And finally, Ash from the What in the World team brings a few more animal stories she's spotted this week, including an update on viral sensation Punch the Monkey, in Ichikawa City Zoo in Japan.

The concept of the "20-mile march," a principle that prioritizes relentless consistency over the common trap of erratic intensity, comes under McKay's scrutiny this week. He demonstrates how this disciplined approach allows individuals and organizations to outperform their peers by focusing on steady progress regardless of external conditions.Drawing on historic Antarctic expeditions and Jim Collins's research, McKay highlights how a fixed daily quota provides the durability needed to survive the "long middle" where most people quit. He examines the creative habits of Jerry Seinfeld and John Grisham, illustrating how a commitment to "not breaking the chain" transforms volume into the appearance of inevitable talent. By analyzing the restraint of Warren Buffett and Southwest Airlines, he explains why setting an upper bound on growth is just as vital as meeting a minimum target. Ultimately, the 20-mile march reduces emotional load and builds a quiet form of confidence by turning discipline into a core identity.Main Themes:Consistency as the primary driver of 10x successThe "Don't Break the Chain" philosophy for professional masterySurviving the "long middle" through predictable rhythmsWhy restraint and upper bounds ensure long-term durabilityTurning discipline from a chore into a core identityReducing emotional load through the 20-mile marchThe Grisham Method: The power of a single daily pageWhy getting back down is more important than reaching the summitConsistency over intensity in volatile marketsBuilding trust in oneself through reliable actionTop 10 Quotes:"The disciplined team survived; the reactive team did not.""Moving to action despite circumstances makes all the difference.""What looks like talent from the outside often turns out to be volume filtered through discipline.""The 'don't break the chain' approach did not make Seinfeld funny; it made him inevitable.""The march carried him through the long middle, the place where most people quit.""Restraint matters as much as effort.""You stop seeing discipline as effort and start seeing it as who you are.""Getting to the top is optional; getting down is mandatory.""The 20-mile march is not about ambition; it is about durability."Show Links:Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen

EP.617Author and explorer Brad Olsen returns to unpack the darkest, most explosive secrets buried under Antarctic ice from Nazi U-boat maps leading beneath the frozen continent, to Operation Highjump's mysterious UFO battle that forced a 4,700 man U.S. Navy armada to retreat in defeat. He and Michael Decon rip into Admiral Byrd's lost diary, inner Earth civilizations, elite no‑fly zones, and why world leaders keep quietly slipping down to the South Pole. The conversation veers into lethal black goo, super soldier programs, Morgellons, Epstein files, child trafficking codes, and the coming collapse of official narratives if Donald Trump really does become the first “Disclosure President.” If even half of this is true, history, religion, energy, and your entire reality are about to be reset to year zero.

Today's NDE afterlife experience is from Greg Keily, an Australian Navy clearance diver. Greg nearly died in October 1997 after a fast-rope boarding in 17-meter swells went wrong and he was dragged under his ship in freezing, pitch-black Antarctic waters. As the darkness closed in, something in him shifted: the panic disappeared, and he found himself in a strange “in-between” space with a presence he can't fully explain. He survived—but years later, the real aftermath began, pulling him toward a deeper search for what actually happened out there. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Are you living a life of comfort or a life of purpose? Most of us love a good story of sacrificial courage: like Frodo Baggins taking the ring to Mordor or Ernest Shackleton rescuing his crew from the Antarctic ice. But when it comes to our own lives, we often find ourselves resisting the very thing that makes those stories great: sacrifice.In the final session of The Core, part of our Year of the Forge series, Pastor Mark dives into the "Nerd-egesis" of sacrifice. We explore why sacrifice is not an invitation to burnout or bad mental health, but rather an invitation into God's kingdom and your true purpose.

Watch the Q&A session here: https://youtu.be/_HJt1zjecCoThe major environmental challenge of our time is framed in terms of what happens in our atmosphere, and specifically what are called “greenhouse gases”. But what is an atmosphere, and how does it behave? Does the atmosphere vary across the world, and what enters and leaves it normally? This lecture will explore how humanity has taken some things from the air and put other things into it, what the effects have been, and what this means for our future.This lecture was recorded by Professor Helen Czerski on the 22nd January 2026 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London.Dr Helen Czerski is a physicist and oceanographer with a passion for science, sport, books, creativity, hot chocolate and investigating the interesting things in life. She is an Associate Professor at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at University College London and her research focus is the physics of breaking waves and bubbles at the ocean surface. These bubbles change underwater sound and light, help transfer gases from ocean to atmosphere (helping the ocean breathe) and also eject ocean material into the air. She has spent months working on research ships in the Antarctic, the Pacific, the North Atlantic and the Arctic, and is an experienced field scientist. Helen has been a regular science presenter on the BBC for 15 years, covering the physics of the natural world in BBC2 landmark documentaries (including ‘Orbit', ‘Operation iceberg' and ‘Supersenses'), and the physics of everyday life in a range of BBC4 documentaries (including ‘From ice to fire: The incredible science of temperature', ‘Sound waves: The symphony of physics', and ‘Colour: The spectrum of science', along  with many others). She currently co-hosts BBC Radio 4's flagship climate and environment programme Rare Earth. Helen's first book Storm in a Teacup won the Italian Asimov Prize and the Louis J. Battan Author prize from the American Meteorological Society. Blue Machine won the Wainwright Prize for Conservation Writing. She was awarded the Institute of Physics Gold Medal in 2018 for her work on physics communication, and an Honorary Fellowship of the British Science Association in 2020. She has been a Trustee of Royal Museums Greenwich since 2018, and was one of the 2020 Royal Institution Christmas Lecturers, giving her Lecture on the topic of the ocean.

The history of whaling is complicated. At its height in the 18th and 19th centuries, whaling was a global enterprise built on perilous voyages, long seasons at sea, and a fierce chase for oil and baleen that illuminated streets and homes and lubricated the industrial revolution. In doing so, obsessed nations like Britain, Norway and America hounded whale populations to the brink, decimating populations and altering marine ecosystems forever. But it's important to remember that this industry also has a rich social history. Whaling sustained communities across the globe, providing work, culture and a crucial way of life for working people in coastal regions and on remote islands like Shetland off the coast of Scotland. In this episode, Dan heads to Dundee, once a hub of the whaling industry, to explore both the devastating ecological impact and the rich human story to give us a fuller understanding of the history of whaling. He speaks to the curators at the South Georgia Museum, Jayne Pierce and Helen Balfour, as well as Richard Sabin from the Natural History Museum and also one of Shetland's last remaining whalers, Gibby Fraser. You can explore more at https://whalersmemorybank.sgmuseum.gs/ to read through testimonies from other whalers, see incredible archive images and learn more about whales in the Arctic and Antarctic. Produced by Mariana Des Forges and edited by Dougal PatmoreDan Snow's History Hit is now available on YouTube!

Ernest Shackleton and Leadership When Everything Falls ApartIn 1914, Ernest Shackleton set out on what was supposed to be one of the greatest expeditions in history: the first land crossing of Antarctica. His ship, the Endurance, carried 27 men into one of the most unforgiving environments on Earth.What happened next is the part that matters.The ship never reached Antarctica.Instead, it became trapped in pack ice for months—until the pressure finally crushed the ship. The Endurance sank, leaving Shackleton and his crew stranded on drifting ice floes, more than 1,000 miles from safety, with no communication, no rescue plan, and brutal Antarctic winter closing in.From that moment on, the mission was no longer exploration.The mission became survival.How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] ⁠https://www.agiledad.com/⁠- [instagram] ⁠https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/⁠- [facebook] ⁠https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/⁠- [Linkedin] ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/

Abhay shares a chat with pioneering polar explorer Preet Chandi.  Born and raised in Derby in England, Preet is a British Army officer, a physiotherapist, and a record‑breaking adventure athlete who became the first woman of color to complete a solo expedition to the South Pole. She has since gone on to break multiple Guinness World Records for solo, unsupported Antarctic ski expeditions, using her journeys to challenge perceived norms about who belongs in extreme adventure environments and to inspire others to push their own boundaries. Preet shares her journey of adventure, the importance of discipline over motivation, and how her cultural heritage and community support fuel her expeditions. She discusses the challenges of preparation, facing fears, and the vulnerability that comes with pushing boundaries. Preet emphasizes the significance of learning from failures and the need for self-acceptance in achieving success. Preet encourages all of us to take our first steps in finding and realizing our own adventures, no matter how daunting they may seem.(0:00 - 2:34) Introduction(2:34) Part 1 - Everyday rituals and adventures, Training and resilience(13:02) Sponsor break: Travelopod(13:37) Part 2 - Dealing with miscues and fear, Ambition and humility,  Identity and Fundraising(29:45) Sponsor break: Timberdog(30:16) Part 3 - Fragility on a Polar Expedition, The meaning of Adventure and Exploring(38:35) ConclusionPlease help support Preet on her next journey to become the first woman to travel solo to the North Pole: https://www.gofundme.com/f/next-expeditionTRUST ME I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING is brought to you by TRAVELOPOD, with personalized travel support to help you explore the wonders of the world.  Start your next journey at vacation.travelopod.comThis episode is also sponsored by RuffRest® , the only dog bed you'll ever need.  Go to www.timberdog.com to learn more

Hi there! Feel free to drop us a text if you enjoy the episode.We're launching Season 3 with a bang—and a blizzard.In this premiere episode, we sit down with Ryan DeLena, the first person to ski all 91 lines in the Presidential Skiing guidebook, and the star and co-creator of the new documentary NINETY ONE, set to release this February 2026.Ryan shares stories from his time navigating the moody terrain of New Hampshire's Presidential Range, what it took mentally and physically to complete this historic project, and the many personalities of Mount Washington—from brutal whiteouts to bluebird perfection.We also go deeper into Ryan's co-authorship of the memoir Without Restraint with his father, and his advocacy work with the Alliance Against Seclusion and Restraint, helping to reform treatment of neurodiverse youth in schools and institutions.This conversation covers everything from glacier skiing in Ecuador to personal growth, mental endurance, and the unseen side of mountain mastery.Topics Covered:The making of NINETY ONE and filming in extreme winter conditionsWhy the Presidentials are more emotional than you thinkLessons from skiing the Arctic, Antarctic, and the EquatorCo-writing a powerful memoir with his fatherRyan's advocacy in education reform and neurodiversityThe tools, mindset, and humility needed to endure the mountainsFollow Ryan on Instagram @extreme_ryan_delenaWatch for the release of NINETY ONE coming soon on YouTube and at select film festivals.This podcast embarks on a journey to showcase and celebrate the endurance sports community in New England.

What if the most exciting tech of the year wasn't just shiny—it was useful, personal, and a little unsettling? We dive into our Top 10 from CES 2026 and share what genuinely moved the needle for everyday life, what felt like future shock, and where we think the line should be drawn.We start with wonder and method: viral claims about “hidden cities” beneath Antarctica meet the real tools behind the map—satellite interferometry, glacier-flow physics, and AI reconstruction. That lens helps us parse a major education study on generative AI: students are learning faster, but thinking less. We lay out the gains for reading and language, the risk of cognitive offloading, emotional bonds with chatbots, and a roadmap for classrooms that teach with AI without surrendering curiosity or equity.Then the floor opens. We count down gadgets that aim beyond spectacle: a bone-conduction lollipop that plays licensed music you can taste; an AI-powered nail system that swaps colors in seconds without chemicals; an ultrasonic chef knife that cuts clean without crushing; and a luxury smart toilet that pairs comfort with urine analysis and safety monitoring. We talk real-world scenarios—aging in place, chronic care, and the thin edge between helpful data and surveillance.The hits keep coming: a portable allergen scanner designed to flag gluten and lactose at the table, Samsung's pocketable trifold that unfolds into a true 10-inch workspace, and a stair-climbing robot vacuum that actually cleans steps and multi-floor homes on a single cycle. Our health pick of the show is a discreet perimenopause wearable that turns hot flashes, sleep disruptions, and anxiety into actionable biometrics, finally giving millions data they can use.And then there's the most talked-about demo: a hologram-like “AI soulmate” living in a curved OLED, always on, always attentive, and engineered for attachment. We unpack the appeal, the ethical minefield, and the social cost of simulating intimacy at scale. To ground it all, we spotlight a nationwide Verizon outage—phones stuck in SOS mode and a small opt-in credit—because when your life runs on networks, resilience matters more than hype.Pull up a chair, pour something good, and join us for a tour that favors clarity over buzz. If our mix of curiosity, skepticism, and humor hits the spot, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review so more people can find it.

The very latest developments in the world of Earth science with Roland Pease, recorded at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) meeting in New Orleans, where thousands of Earth, atmospheric, glacial, ocean and hydrologic scientists come together to promote discovery in Earth science for the benefit of humanity.Twenty years on, we discuss the enduring lessons from the Hurricane Katrina disaster of 2005, hearing from Lieutenant General Russel Honoré who led the military relief effort, and Roland speaks to Jill Trepanier, hurricane climatologist from Louisiana State University. We also hear about the mouth of the Mississippi River, known as the Bird's Foot Delta, south of New Orleans. Carol Wilson, assistant professor in the Department of Geology and Geophysics at Louisiana State University, tells us how important these wetlands are as storm protections, yet they're under threat from sea level rise and lack of sediment.Roland takes a look at fifty-thousand-year-old Antarctic ice whilst speaking to Ed Brook, Professor at Oregon State University and director of COLDEX (Center for Oldest Ice Exploration), whose team is searching for ice which is potentially ten million years old. And he speaks to Allison Chartrand, assistant research scientist at the University of Maryland and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, who has been working to reveal the hidden landscapes of Greenland under the ice. And Bob Hazen, scientist at the Carnegie Science Earth & Planets Laboratory, takes us back to the origins of life on Earth. He is investigating rocks which could be over four billion years old and may contain molecular fragments of ancient life.Presenter: Roland Pease Producer: Jonathan Blackwell

You would turn it on, 10 minutes before driving somewhere, so your car is warm and de-iced already.   Toyota spokesman Ralph Müller: “The pre-air conditioning is a free function of the MyToyota app or Lexus Link Plus App. This function is still available for all pure electric vehicles and plug-in vehicles. For vehicles with conventional drive, this only works when the combustion engine is running. The legislator considers this an unnecessary running of the engine or an avoidable exhaust gas pollution, which is prohibited. This is not known to many users. In Europe, there is no uniform legal situation, about which we have informed with a corresponding note in the app. In order to protect the vehicle user from fines, we have deactivated the function on these vehicles.” Climate Change Warrior Kamala Harris Buys New Mansion Near The Ocean in Malibu  Kamala Harris just bought a new $8 million mansion in Malibu near the beach.

In an exclusive interview in the Oval Office on Wednesday, Trump said Russian President Vladimir Putin is ready to wrap up his nearly four-year-old invasion of Ukraine. Zelenskiy, the U.S. president said, was more reticent. “I think he's ready to make a deal,” Trump said of the Russian president. “I think Ukraine is less ready to make a deal.” Asked why U.S.-led negotiations had not yet resolved Europe's largest land conflict since World War Two, Trump responded: “Zelenskiy.”   Source: theconservativetreehouse.com  https://twitter.com/zeroDEIUSA/status/2011211989847326747?s=20  this point, dictated that Canada, Denmark, and NATO generally are allowed to sit on their collective asses vis a'vis Defense. Poland and Hungary are the exceptions since they rarely conform to WEF dictums. But we also know something else: This administration doesn't see the world and this hemisphere through a WEF lens. Those differences in world view, opinion, policy, and sense of urgency between America and our allies are bubbling up publicly. I don't think the friction is or will be inconsequential. In fact, I would posit that the hairline cracks we hear about, in terms of NATO cooperation and membership, will inevitably become full fledged fissures. There are any number of pressure points between this administration and our ANO's (allies in name only) most notably the UK. Saber rattling has become the norm in communiques from Germany, the UK, and the EU. Calls for a “European only” Army and Navy have come from the upper and middle echelons of the military in several NATO member nations in Europe. The Europeans are shocked and outraged by our statements and concerns about Greenland. Now I could be wrong; but it seems that NATO's members are viewing our actions in Venezuela as well as Trump's position that Ukraine is largely a Euro problem, and his vision that the “Donroe” doctrine should be a precursor to a solid military defense strategy as well as a strategic trading block composed by countries in the Western Hemisphere as an emerging existential threat. And indeed it is. We have all seen examples that, by now prove conclusively, that Trump and his advisers are some of the best “tea leaf” readers ever. I honestly think this administration sees the rapid cultural, political, and social deterioration in Europe (Germany, Austria, France, the UK) and other Western nations (Australia and NZ) as harbingers and not one off's. And as such, I believe Trump and his team have concluded that these EU countries have reached a point of no return in every measure that matters. I believe the head butting will, by the end of Trump's term, deteriorate or accelerate to locking horns with former allies and our eventual departure from them as a bloc in favor of the Western Hemisphere as a replacement block. The “Donroe” doctrine says as much. I believe Trump would prefer to capitalize on Geography. That is to say a land mass that stretches from the Arctic circle to the Antarctic circle with North America and South America in between. I believe he sees that as something America can control, protect, and develop. How this will play out, I'm not sure. But I believe he is quietly preparing an exit ramp for our departure from NATO per se. It will be interesting. He will leave office and hand this massive initiative to Vance and Rubio; confident in their judgment and ability to execute. Medical/False Flags President Trump Announces “The Great Healthcare Plan” President Donald J. Trump's Great Healthcare Plan is a broad healthcare initiative that will slash prescription drug prices, reduce insurance premiums, hold big insurance companies accountable, and maximize price transparency in the American healthcare system. This plan will deliver money directly to the American people, not insurance companies, big pharma and special interest groups—putting patients over industry leaders' profits, just as he promised. The Great Healthcare Plan also builds on the successes of his first term by promoting competition, eliminating wasteful spending, and putting consumers back in control.

While the subject and law enforcement were in a struggle on the ground, two subjects came out of a nearby apartment and also attacked the law enforcement officer with a snow shovel and broom handle. As the officer was being ambushed and attacked by the two individuals, the original subject got loose and began striking the officer with a shovel or broom stick. Fearing for his life and safety as he was being ambushed by three individuals, the officer fired a defensive shot to defend his life. The initial subject was hit in the leg. All three subjects ran back into the apartment and barricaded themselves inside. The attacked officer and subject are both in the hospital. Both attackers are in custody. This attack on another brave member of law enforcement took place while Minnesota's top leaders, Governor Walz and Mayor Frey, are actively encouraging an organized resistance to ICE and federal law enforcement officers. Their hateful rhetoric and resistance against men and women who are simply trying to do their jobs must end. Federal law enforcement officers are facing a 1,300% increase in assaults against them as they put their lives on the line to arrest criminals and lawbreakers. https://twitter.com/mrddmia/status/2011711533014036932?s=20 Antifa are teaching illegals that they can attack federal law enforcement.    https://twitter.com/DAGToddBlanche/status/2011620198751597028?s=20  and Frey – I'm focused on stopping YOU from your terrorism by whatever means necessary.

Joy Behar of The View: Trump Will Use ICE Protests in Minneapolis to Declare Martial Law and Cancel the Midterm Elections (VIDEO) This week on The View, Joy Behar suggested that she is worried that Trump is planning to use the ICE protests in Minneapolis and elsewhere to declare martial law and cancel the 2026 midterm elections. Think about what she is suggesting here. She is saying that Trump will override local jurisdictions, put the military in charge, and then cancel elections. It is pure BlueAnon lunacy.

Not only is he lying about what's happening, but not once did he tell his constituents to stay out of the way of federal law enforcement officers. He is actively encouraging them to obstruct ICE agents, as a means to cover up the massive fraud and criminality in his state. This is 1860's type stuff we are dealing with here, and you can see it on Walz's face, especially at the end. He knows the severity of what he just did. The Dems are in open rebellion against the Trump administration, while harboring illegal aliens in their Unconstitutional “sanctuary cities”, which they use to steal elections. This is irregular warfare. Things are about to get real.

For the Minnesota scenario described in the post (involving federal agents and no mention of a state request), §§252 or 253 would likely apply, allowing action without state consent. Next Steps for InvocationIf President Trump decides to proceed, the process is straightforward but must follow statutory requirements. Here’s a step-by-step outline based on the law and historical precedents: Assess and Determine Applicability: The President (or advisors) evaluates whether the situation meets one of the Act’s criteria, such as rebellion against federal authority or obstructions to law enforcement. This is an internal executive decision, often informed by reports from agencies like DHS, DOJ, or DOD. No formal public step is required here, but it sets the legal justification.  Issue a Presidential Proclamation (§254): Before deploying forces, the President must publicly issue a proclamation ordering the “insurgents” or obstructors to disperse and return home peacefully within a specified time limit (e.g., hours or days). This serves as a formal warning and is a mandatory prerequisite under the law. The proclamation is typically published in the Federal Register and announced via White House channels.  Failure to issue this could make any deployment unlawful. Monitor Compliance and Issue an Executive Order for Deployment: If the proclamation is ignored, the President can issue an executive order authorizing the deployment of federal troops or federalizing the National Guard. This order specifies the scope, duration, and rules of engagement. Troops can then be mobilized to enforce laws, restore order, or protect federal operations (e.g., supporting ICE in this case). Deployment is not automatic upon invocation; it’s at the President’s discretion. Oversight and Termination: Once invoked, the deployment continues until the President determines the crisis is resolved. Congress can potentially override or limit it through legislation, but this is rare. The Act requires reporting to Congress “as soon as practicable” on the reasons and measures taken. https://twitter.com/CynicalPublius/status/2011886917311414381?s=20 Republican Rep. Harriet Hageman (WY-At-Large) challenged former Justice Department prosecutor Michael Romano on whether any participants in the January 6th protest in 2021 had been convicted under the federal insurrection statute. It was a question that led Democrat Rep.

Neal Dunn Announces Retirement After Five Terms — Triggering Critical March 10 Special Election  Republican Congressman Neal Dunn (R-Fla.) has announced he will retire after five terms in the U.S. House of Representatives, opting not to seek re-election in 2026. The Panama City physician-serving lawmaker said he wants to spend more time with his family, but his departure comes at a perilous moment for the GOP as Republicans cling to a razor-thin House majority. Dunn's decision to step away from the House after a decade of service leaves Florida's 2nd Congressional District wide open and adds to a growing list of incumbents abandoning their posts ahead of one of the most consequential midterm cycles in recent memory. https://twitter.com/DrNealDunnFL2/status/2011092421866930495?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2011092421866930495%7Ctwgr%5E90201f9195637f0f3c794268082281e562876921%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F01%2Fgop-rep-neal-dunn-announces-retirement-after-five%2F Source: thegatewaypundit.com UPDATE: Pam Bondi Reveals Classified Leaker Behind Trump's Venezuela Operation Was Pentagon IT Contractor   Pam Bondi revealed that the classified leaker was a Pentagon IT contractor who has been arrested and jailed for endangering U.S. military operations and national security. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has unmasked the traitor behind the illegal leak of classified information about President Trump's bold Venezuela operation. Pam Bondi revealed Wednesday night that the individual responsible for leaking classified information about President Trump's Venezuela operation was an IT contractor for the Department of War and he is now sitting in jail. The disclosure came during an explosive interview with Sean Hannity, where Bondi confirmed that the Trump DOJ and FBI are aggressively pursuing those who leak classified military intelligence and the media figures who obtain and publish it.

In a stunning 7-2 decision, the High Court ruled that Republican Congressman Mike Bost (R-IL) has the legal standing to challenge Illinois's unconstitutional law that allows mail-in ballots to be counted up to 14 days after Election Day. This ruling reverses the Seventh Circuit and sends the case back to the lower court—where Illinois' late-ballot scheme will now be evaluated on the merits This is the game-changer we have been waiting for. For years, Democrats and their media allies have relied on “late-arriving ballots” to shift the results of elections days or even weeks after the polls close. We all remember what happened in 2020. We remember the “pauses” and the late-night spikes. But now, the Supreme Court has finally opened the floodgates for Republicans to sue to stop it. Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the majority, made it clear: candidates have a “personal stake” in the rules governing their elections. This destroys the liberal argument that Republicans can't sue unless they can prove a specific fraudulent ballot cost them the race. The following states accept ballots that arrive late, as long as they have a valid postmark: Alaska California District of Columbia Illinois Maryland Massachusetts Mississippi Nevada New Jersey New York Oregon Texas (Note: Must be received by 5:00 PM the day after Election Day) Virginia Washington West Virginia Note on Territories: Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam also typically accept late-arriving ballots if postmarked by Election Day. Several states that previously accepted late-arriving ballots have recently passed laws requiring ballots to be in the hands of election officials by the time polls close on Election Day, regardless of when they were mailed. Kansas (Changed in 2024/2025) North Dakota (Changed in 2025) Ohio (Changed in 2025) Utah (Changed in 2025) In all other states (e.g., Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona), your ballot must be received by the county election office by the close of polls on Election Day.
