There is an odd vibe flowing through the conservative movement at events like America Fest, the annual strokefest produced by Turning Point USA. The presentation is a combination of professional wrestling mixed with a religious revival at a Megachurch. It is a very well-produced version of Conservatism, delivered by recognizable, but recently augmented, faces who do not pose any real threat to the system.Real questions are being asked about the background of Erika Kirk. Her ties to a Romanian children's charity, trafficking operations to the UK & Israel via American military bases, and recently unearthed CIA training videos on EMPs featuring a young Erika Frantzve. Was Erika a torpedo sent to destroy the America First movement from within?—Watch the video version on one of the Macroaggressions Channels:Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/Macroaggressions YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MacroaggressionsPodcast—MACRO & Charlie Robinson LinksHypocrazy Audiobook: https://amzn.to/4aogwmsThe Octopus of Global Control Audiobook: https://amzn.to/3xu0rMmWebsite: www.Macroaggressions.io Merch Store: https://macroaggressions.dashery.com/ Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/macroaggressionspodcast—Activist Post FamilySign up for the Activist Post Newsletter: https://activistpost.kit.com/emailsActivist Post: www.ActivistPost.com Natural Blaze: www.NaturalBlaze.com —Support Our SponsorsAnarchapulco: https://anarchapulco.com/ | Promo Code: MACROC60 Power: https://go.shopc60.com/PBGRT/KMKS9/ | Promo Code: MACROChemical Free Body: https://chemicalfreebody.com/macro/ | Promo Code: MACROWise Wolf Gold & Silver: https://macroaggressions.gold/ | (800) 426-1836LegalShield: www.DontGetPushedAround.com EMP Shield: www.EMPShield.com | Promo Code: MACROGround Luxe Grounding Mats: https://groundluxe.com/MACRO Christian Yordanov's Health Program: www.LiveLongerFormula.com/macro Above Phone: https://abovephone.com/macro/Van Man: https://vanman.shop/?ref=MACRO | Promo Code: MACROThe Dollar Vigilante: https://dollarvigilante.spiffy.co/a/O3wCWenlXN/4471 Nesa's Hemp: www.NesasHemp.com | Promo Code: MACROAugason Farms: https://augasonfarms.com/MACRO —

Happiness is good for your health. That's the argument of Dr Rangan Chatterjee, one of the most influential doctors in the UK and host of Europe's biggest health podcast Feel Better, Live More. Throughout his career, Dr Chatterjee has seen first-hand how motivation isn't always enough for us to maintain a healthy lifestyle. It's his view that it is only when we learn how to support our own mental well-being and cultivate core happiness that these choices become easy. In January 2026, Dr Chatterjee came to Intelligence Squared alongside writer Oliver Burkeman to share cutting-edge insights into the science of happiness and to reveal the simple ways to put you back in control of your health. Dr Chatterjee drew from the new and updated edition of his book Happy Mind, Happy Life to reveal real-life case studies and over 20 practical exercises, including lessons on how to: * Treat yourself with respect * Improve your relationship with your phone * Deal with criticism --- If you'd like to become a Member and get access to all our full ad free conversations, plus all of our Members-only content, just visit intelligencesquared.com/membership to find out more.

Season 8 continues with a deep, affectionate dive into one of the most important and quietly influential film careers of the late 20th century — Winona Ryder.Dangerous Dave explores how Winona became the defining face of outsider cool, Gen-X intelligence, and emotional honesty across the 1980s and 1990s. We rewind the clock in What Happened Way Back When, digging into obscure movies, cult songs, and forgotten TV shows from the era that shaped her rise, before hitting Retro Headlines from the UK and the US to set the cultural backdrop.In a long-form Dangerous Deep Dive, the episode charts Winona's journey from teenage breakout to generational icon, with detailed discussion of her 80s films (Lucas, Beetlejuice, Heathers) and her defining 90s run (Edward Scissorhands, Reality Bites, Little Women, Girl, Interrupted). Each era is unpacked with context, behind-the-scenes stories, and why these roles still resonate today.Elsewhere in the episode:

When parents start looking for help for a child with OCD, the process can feel confusing, overwhelming, and high-stakes. Between therapy options, medication questions, and different levels of care, it's hard to know what actually matters — and what doesn't.In this episode, I break down what parents really need to know when seeking treatment for OCD.We talk about why the therapist's training matters more than their degree, and what specific approaches are most effective for OCD. I explain the importance of evidence-based modalities like CBT with ERP, ACT, and why family involvement is essential, especially for kids and teens.I also walk through the different levels of care, from outpatient therapy to intensive and residential programs, and how to know when a higher level of support may be appropriate.For parents considering more intensive treatment, I share key questions to ask programs so you can better understand whether the environment is truly appropriate for a child with anxiety or OCD, including how much individual therapy is provided, the mix of diagnoses in the program, and the overall level of safety and stability.Finally, I touch on several well-known OCD treatment programs parents often hear about, and how to think through these options thoughtfully.This episode is designed to help parents feel more informed, more grounded, and more confident as they navigate treatment decisions, because finding the right support can make a meaningful difference in your child's recovery.If you are new to this OCD journey, take my free OCD webinar, 5 Things Every Parent Needs to Know When Helping Their Child with OCD.***This podcast episode is sponsored by NOCD.

Amazon UK niche leader for nearly 16 years shares how a single mom built a multi-7-figure brand, survived copycats, ditched unprofitable markets, and grew with influencers + smart keyword research. ► Watch The Podcasts On Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@Helium10SeriousSellersPodcast?sub_confirmation=1 ► Instagram: instagram.com/serioussellerspodcast ► Free Amazon Seller Chrome Extension: https://h10.me/extension ► Sign Up For Helium 10: https://h10.me/signup (Use SSP10 To Save 10% For Life) ► Learn How To Sell on Amazon: https://h10.me/ft What does it take to dominate a niche for over a decade without building a giant team or becoming a “warehouse CEO”? Bradley Sutton heads to the UK to visit Cara Sayer at her home in Surrey and unpack the real story behind SnoozeShade: a product used by members of the Royal family and a brand that has stayed on top of its Amazon category for nearly 16 years. Cara's journey is a classic “scratch your own itch” case study. She needed a better way to protect her baby in a pram from sun, wind, and cold, so she created a stroller “blackout blind” solution that simply didn't exist at the time. Cara shares her path from working in PR and marketing (including being on the team that helped launch Amazon in the UK back in the early days) to building a physical product business the hard way—trade shows, prototypes, and getting orders before modern Amazon tools even existed. As competition grew, she explains how the brand evolved through distributors, Amazon Vendor Central, and a messy reseller situation (including 37 resellers on her best-selling product) before she took control and moved into Seller Central. Then comes the lesson every seller needs to hear: revenue isn't the goal—profit is. When the US market turned into “shark-infested waters” full of unsafe knockoffs and price attacks, Cara made the tough call to exit, protect margins, and refocus on what actually made the business stronger. This episode is packed with long-game strategy: why being obsessively good at product quality and customer service beats shortcuts, why market focus matters more than “go global fast,” and how Cara uses influencer relationships to build real brand awareness. She also shares how Helium 10 helps her organize keyword research, spot competitor moves, and avoid international keyword mistakes (because US/UK/AU English is not the same). If you want a blueprint for building a durable brand that survives copycats, this one's gold.

Boosting, swiping or the five finger discount - many countries around the world are seeing a rise in retail theft. From Japan to the UK, the USA to Germany, retailers are struggling to tackle shoplifting - but the factors fueling this trend are as varied as the people carrying out these crimes. Poverty, opportunism, thrill-seeking - and technology - are some of the factors experts say are to blame. But a more costly problem is the rise in organised crime, as gangs of thieves strategically target shops and steal to order, turn to online marketplaces to anonymously sell on stolen goods for big profits.Charmaine Cozier reveals how the justice system and surveillance technology are being used to combat this rising crime wave, as The Inquiry asks what's behind the rise in shoplifting?Contributors: Dr Nicole Bögelein, sociologist at the University of Cologne, Germany Assistant Chief Constable Alex Goss, national lead for retail crime at the UK National Police Chiefs Council Tony Sheppard.

Jeff Bezos's Amazon MGM Studios is due to release its feature-length documentary about Melania Trump, directed by Brett Ratner, a formerly exiled film-maker who was accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women. The documentary was screened at a promotional event inside the White House, attended by what the Hollywood Reporter describes as ‘70 assorted VIPs', including Amazon's Andy Jassy, Apple's Tim Cook and the former boxer Mike Tyson. Bezos bought the rights to the film for $40m (£30m) and spent a further $35m on a global marketing push – but so far, ticket sales are reportedly ‘soft' as it prepares to screen in more than 100 UK cinemas.

Sam Hogg from the Oxford China Policy Lab and James Heale join Patrick Gibbons to assess the UK-China relationship right now, what Labour is hoping to get from the visit and whether there are risks for Starmer as well as rewards. Is the tight rope Starmer is walking between the UK & China a sign of weakness, or an extension of a pragmatic 'Starmerite' foreign policy?Produced by Patrick Gibbons.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

Arsham Ghahramani lives in Toronto, but grew up in rural countryside of UK, out in the middle of nowhere on a farm. He was surrounded by tractors, chickens, and other animals.

Outside of tech, he loves team sports, playing a lot of soccer and starting to get into hockey.

His now co-founder and he worked closely together, and they were both pressured to hire good people quickly.

Country music is in the midst of a grand renaissance. The genre - whose popularity was previously confined to the American South - is now climbing the charts, grabbing the attention of Gen Z audiences, and changing the perception of what it means to be a country listener. Streaming of the genre in the US rose by nearly 110% in the five years to 2024. And it's taking over markets all around the world. In the UK, the genre more than doubled its share of the singles market in two years. And Australia is now the third largest country music market globally. From ‘music city' - Nashville, Tennessee - we speak to artists and industry leaders to better understand where the country music boom came from, and where it's headed this year. How did country become so cool?To get in touch with the team, our email address is businessdaily@bbc.co.ukPresented and produced by Ellie House(Picture: Neon lights spelling 'Music City Tonight' at Robert's Honky Tonk, Nashville.

All the info is over at diabetes-connetionss.com events/ Okay.. our top story this week: XX All UK children could be offered screening for type 1 diabetes using a simple finger-prick blood test, say researchers who have been running a large study. This is the ELSA study - Early Surveillance for Autoimmune diabetes, a first of its kind UK study. They tested blood samples from 17,931 children aged 3-13 for autoantibodies, markers of type 1 diabetes that can appear years before symptoms. Families of children found to have early-stage type 1 diabetes received tailored education and ongoing support to prepare for the eventual onset of type 1 diabetes symptoms and to ensure insulin therapy can begin promptly when needed, reducing the chances of needing emergency treatment. Those with one autoantibody also received ongoing support and monitoring. Some families were also offered teplizumab, the first ever immunotherapy for type 1 diabetes, which can delay the need for insulin by around three years in people with early-stage type 1 diabetes. The second phase has launched and will expand screening to all children in the UK aged 2-17 years, with a focus on younger children (2-3 years) and older teenagers (14-17 years). The research team aims to recruit 30,000 additional children across these new age groups. ELSA 2 will assess how screening can be scaled across the NHS and evaluate its cost-effectiveness. https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/news/2026/childhood-type-1-diabetes-screening-is-effective-and-could-prevent-thousands-of-emergency-diagnoses XX At the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference Dexcom CEO Jake Leach says they're going to launch a new product outside the US. I'll link up that interview, The full quote: "When you look at the outside the U.S., there are a lot of structures that are tiered. Patients have access to different types of products, so we've got a new one that we want to introduce that will add flexibility there. It's based on the G7 platform, just like Dexcom ONE+, but it has a unique experience that's tailored for a subset of users that, today, don't have access to Dexcom." Your guess is as good as mine, but sounds more like a pricing or ordering issue than a new bit of hardware or software. Dexcom will also bring Stelo to some international markets this year. And plans a new mobile app experience for the wearable biosensor meant for people who don't dose insulin. Leach also says G8 will be much smaller and with more capability. but is a few years away. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/dexcom-ceo-jake-leach-2026-roadmap-jpm/ XX A new international consensus statement provides guidance for the use of diabetes technology during pregnancy for women with type 1 diabetes (T1D), type 2 diabetes (T2D), or gestational diabetes (GD). Organized by the diaTribe Foundation, the document was based on evidence where available, as well as opinion from an international group of experts in endocrinology, diabetes technology, and obstetrics & gynecology, among others. This is the first set of recommendations specifically addressing the use of diabetes technology in pregnancy – and we'll link it up. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/new-consensus-statement-addresses-diabetes-tech-pregnancy-2026a100020d XX Bariatric surgery beats GLP-1s for type 2 diabetes across income levels. This study was published this month, looking at nearly 300 patients are 4 medical centers. Success here is measured by lower blood glucose levels, higher weight loss (28% vs. 10%), less use of diabetes medications, remission of diabetes to the point of no longer needing to inject insulin, and reduced risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Bariatric surgery was better than medical therapy across all social backgrounds, they found, and not just in areas of higher deprivation. The ancillary study was smaller, and some of the participants randomized in earlier stages crossed over from medical to surgical treatment, and the reverse. The authors acknowledged and accounted for these limitations, along with the rapid development of more powerful obesity drugs not fully captured in the study. This was a long term study – more than 12 years – and by the end of the study more people were choosing GLP1 medications. One dividing line: If someone hopes to lose 100 pounds, that's more likely with surgery than with medications. "Ultimately, we need large, long-term, well-designed studies to clarify the best strategy for a given patient." https://www.statnews.com/2026/01/19/diabetes-study-bariatric-surgery-better-than-glp-1s/ XX Researchers at the University of California, Riverside have reported for the first time that a father's exposure to microplastics (MPs) can lead to metabolic problems in his children, including diabetes. This is a mouse study, but it looks at a previously unrecognized way in which environmental pollution may influence the health of future generations. MPs are extremely small plastic fragments, measuring less than 5 millimeters, that form as consumer products and industrial materials break down. Metabolic disorders describe a group of conditions that include elevated blood pressure, high blood sugar, and excess body fat, all of which raise the risk of heart disease and diabetes. The team found that female offspring of male mice exposed to MPs were far more prone to metabolic disorders than offspring of unexposed fathers, even though all offspring received the same high fat diet. The research team hopes the findings will guide future investigation into how MPs and even smaller nanoplastics affect human development. https://scitechdaily.com/microplastics-can-rewire-sperm-triggering-diabetes-in-the-next-generation/ XX The FDA has finalized four new recalls for certain lots of Abbott's FreeStyle Libre 3 and FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensors due to ongoing safety concerns. We told you about this in November when Abbott says some of its continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensors were providing incorrect low glucose warnings. Internal testing identified the issue—carbon building up in the sensors during the manufacturing process—and determined that approximately 3 million CGM sensors were affected. The sensors were distributed in the United States, Canada and several European countries. When Abbott shared that announcement, the FDA was still reviewing the situation. No recalls had yet been finalized. Now, however, the agency has announced four new Class I recalls. https://cardiovascularbusiness.com/topics/clinical/heart-health/fda-confirms-recalls-abbott-cgm-sensors-new-lawsuit-alleges-company-concealed-information XX Insulet brings back it's U.S. Pod recycling program, now making it available to all U.S. customers. The Pod recycling program, offered at no cost to customers, enables users to request a recycling kit online. This allows them to return their used Omnipods. Insulet then decontaminates the returned Pods before transporting them to a company specializing in recycling for electronics and medical products. Insulet began recycling pilot programs in Mass and California and are rolling it out nationwide. Insulet also has "Pod takeback" programs outside the U.S. in several international markets. These programs enable customers to request a takeback kit by contacting their local customer support team. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/insulet-expands-us-pod-recycling-program/ XX Up next a new resource for a population at three times the risk for diabetes, but without a lot of access to health information. I The first diabetes information website primarily in ASL has launched. The site includes GIFs and videos on diabetes management and an ASL glossary of diabetes-related terms. This is from University of Utah Health – Called Deaf Diabetes Can Together. Deaf and hard of hearing people are at three times higher risk for diabetes, but access to health information in ASL is limited. https://healthcare.utah.edu/newsroom/news/2026/01/first-diabetes-information-website-asl-launches XX Novo Nordisk ended all work on cell therapies, including a Type 1 diabetes program, in October – and now has found a buyer. Aspect has acquired rights to the assets and giving Novo an option to reengage for later-stage development and commercialization. Novo is helping bankroll Aspect's development of the assets, investing in the company and providing research funding. The arrangement gives Novo a chance to profit from the programs down the line. Novo is eligible for royalties and milestone payments on future product sales and, having handed the reins to Aspect for now, can expand its role in later-stage development and commercialization. The integration will involve the transfer of capabilities and expertise from Novo sites in Denmark and the U.S. to Aspect's Canadian operations. https://www.fiercebiotech.com/biotech/novo-nordisk-offloads-diabetes-assets-aspect-amid-cell-therapy-retreat XX XX Lucas Escobar has carved a role by proving that healthcare marketing can be culturally resonant, commercially powerful and deeply human. As director and head of U.S. consumer marketing at Insulet, he has redefined how the Omnipod tubeless insulin pump shows up in culture, transforming a medical device into a symbol of identity, inclusion and empowerment. Under Escobar's leadership, Insulet launched three breakthrough initiatives: Dyasonic: Sound of Strength, a Marvel comic collaboration introducing a superhero who uses Omnipod; The Pod Drop, which turned the sound of a pod change into a celebratory music track; and Omnipod Mango x Pantone, medtech's first color partnership, honoring the vibrancy of the diabetes community. Each blended creativity with purpose while driving results, helping fuel Omnipod's consistent double-digit growth and its position as the most prescribed insulin pump in the U.S. Living with type 1 diabetes himself, Escobar brings lived experience to his work, using storytelling not just to sell, but to make people feel seen.

From the January 01, 2026 Issue of MM+M - Medical Marketing and Media https://www.mmm-online.com/40-under-40/40-under-40-lucas-escobar-insulet/ -- FDA approves an update to the prescribing info for Afrezza inhaled insulin. This is a revision to the recommendations for the starting mealtime dosage when patients switch from shots or insulin pumps. This is aimed at healthcare providers - the updated labeling was supported by results from the INHALE-3 trial. The FDA is still considering approval of Afrezza for kids – a decision there expect by summer. https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2026/01/26/3225442/29517/en/MannKind-Announces-FDA-Approval-of-Updated-Afrezza-Label-Providing-Starting-Dose-Guidance-when-Switching-from-Multiple-Daily-Injections-MDI-or-Insulin-Pump-Mealtime-Therapy.html -- UK researchers have developed a calculator to predict whether someone is at risk for type 1 diabetes. They're hoping this helps in screening and in preventing DKA at diagnosis. They used the TEDDY study to create this calculator, which right now is in beta form and only for kids and teens ages 8-18. The current beta form of the calculator asks users to answer questions about four factors necessary to estimate a child's risk of developing type 1 diabetes: age, family history, number of confirmed autoantibodies, and genetic risk score. The calculator has been given regulatory approval as a diagnostic in the U.K., and he's working with a company that's hoping to bring it to the U.S. in the next few months in the form of a home genetic test kit. https://www.healthcentral.com/news/type-1-diabetes/new-calculator-might-help-predict-type-1-diabetes-before-symptoms-appear

A large UK study of nearly 125,000 women has found that the menopause can cause a loss of grey matter in women's brains affecting memory and emotions, similar to that seen in Alzheimer's. Published in the journal Psychological Medicine, the researchers say it may help explain why we see almost twice as many cases of dementia in women than in men. Professor of Clinical Neuropsychology Barbara Sahakian, from the University of Cambridge and the senior researcher on the study and Dr Paula Briggs, Consultant in Sexual and Reproductive Health at Liverpool Woman's NHS Foundation Trust, discuss the findings with Nuala McGovern.There's been much discussion about the benefits of singing, but with less singing happening in schools - over half of state secondary school teachers have said that their pupils never sang together in assembly - how do you encourage children and young people to sing and what are the benefits? As the BBC launches Get Singing, a Nationwide music education initiative, we talk to Julia Fraser, the head of Luton Music Service, and Baz Chapman from the Sing Up Foundation.Laura Dickerman's first novel Hot Desk is set against the backdrop of the publishing industry over two generations. A couple of editors share a desk in a new office – and eventually fall in love. Laura talks about bookish characters, the romance of women's friendships and getting published for the first time, aged 62.Global attention has been focused on Greenland since President Donald Trump repeatedly said the United States should take control of the self-governing region within the Kingdom of Denmark. Despite being around nine times the size of the UK, Greenland has a population of just 57,000 people, with the majority being indigenous Inuits. But beyond the heated geopolitical debates, we want to find out what is life like for women in Greenland today? Tillie Martinussen, a former MP in Greenland, tells us about women's position historically and the issues they face now.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Melanie Abbott

Sexier Than A Squirrel: Dog Training That Gets Real Life Results
Send us a textWhat if changing what's on your plate could change how you feel, think, and even how you train your dog? We dive into a candid journey from a daunting fibroid diagnosis and surgery-first advice to a practical, food-first plan built around whole ingredients, simple prep, and flavour that sticks. Along the way, we talk about the 25% reduction that showed up on a scan, the meals that kept us going, and the mindset shifts that made healthy choices sustainable through packed training days.We get specific about what worked: ditching ultra‑processed foods in favour of vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds, and natural fats; building quick wins like a 20‑minute lentil curry finished with lime; blending a blueberry‑coconut chia breakfast that sets up the morning; and keeping freezer-ready energy balls for the afternoon slump. Batch habits make the difference: slow‑cooker chilli loaded with greens, a soup maker that turns prepped veg bags into grab‑and‑go lunches, and simple hydration cues to separate thirst from hunger. For treats, we keep the joy without the crash—cauliflower nachos with guacamole, citrus‑coconut dessert bites, sweet potato fries, and a cashew‑based Caesar that tastes like the classic.Beyond recipes, we share why health upgrades translate to better dog training—more patience, cleaner timing, steadier energy, and clearer communication. Travel tips, sourcing strategies, and UK‑friendly healthy finds round out a plan that's realistic, affordable, and family‑proof, even for picky teens. If you've been on the fence about shifting your diet or wondered how to fuel long training days without relying on packets and powders, this is your blueprint.Ready to feel better and train better?

Pubs and music venues in England are to receive a 15% discount on their business rates bills from April, after a campaign which saw some premises ban their local Labour MPs. Also: Storm Chandra has brought heavy rain and strong winds to parts of the UK, causing flooding, travel disruption and hundreds of school closures. And Leonardo DiCaprio's politically charged thriller, One Battle After Another, leads the field at this year's Bafta Film Awards.
Richie rounds up the day's top news stories in his inimitable style. On today's show: Former CDC director says Covid jabs are ineffective and probably dangerous.

Plus much more.
AI adoption within organizations is increasingly polarized, with Gallup data cited showing that while 77% of technology professionals use AI at work, overall workplace adoption rose only marginally from 45% to 46% in late 2025. This stagnation is attributed not to employee reluctance, but to aggressive uptake by leadership without corresponding redesign of roles and workflows at lower organizational levels. In the UK, research presented notes an 8% net job loss tied to AI alongside a 11.5% productivity increase, with younger workers expressing heightened concern over future employment security.Supporting analysis emphasizes that AI utilized only in decision-making circles can compress organizations, trading resilience for short-term efficiency. Dave Sobel cautions that celebrating productivity gains without acknowledging operational fragility introduces organizational brittleness, as headcount reductions outpace tangible capability improvements across all layers. The discussion underscores the risk in pitching AI as a leadership tool without regard for its broader impact.Additional topics include the risks of encryption practices—specifically Microsoft's BitLocker—and the limits of user control over recovery keys when stored in the cloud. Dave Sobel highlights governance failures when MSPs assume encryption equates to privacy without explicit decisions regarding key custody and authority, noting that silent trade-offs can expose organizations to privacy vulnerabilities. Furthermore, coverage of CISA's absence from RSA conference outlines how diminished federal engagement increases liability and ambiguity for MSPs tasked with interpreting security policy. New video authentication features from Ring are examined as evidence of a broader shift where provenance and chain of custody outweigh convenience, directly affecting the evidentiary value of managed data.The overarching implication for MSPs and IT providers is clear: risk, authority, and liability are being systematically reallocated within the supply chain and between vendors, government, and service providers. Operational preparedness now depends on explicit documentation, governance choices, and advance recognition of liability transfer. Failing to adapt—by leaving deployment decisions, key management, and evidentiary workflows unexamined—may result in organizational fragility, legal exposure, and loss of client trust.

2026-01-27 | UPDATES #114 | Russian warships escort “grey fleet” vessels through the English Channel — a confrontation in the making?A sanctioned oil tanker is boarded in the Mediterranean. Days later, a Russian warship escorts an oil tanker through the English Channel — with NATO watching every meter of water. This is a potential flashpoint, sanctions enforcement colliding with Russian naval deterrence, Putin running maritime cover for the operations of his illegal oil export trade.Today's news flash is about the English Channel — and a major challenge for NATO planners: Russia is pairing its oil-linked shipping with naval escorts, and the West is inching toward more assertive enforcement against the “shadow” or “grey” fleet that bankrolls the war.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------SOURCES: Reuters (Jan 23, 2026): UK Royal Navy shadows Boikiy and MT General Skobelev through the English Channel.

This week, we're joined by political journalist Zoë Grünewald, who talks to us about the attempts to regulate and rein in X in the UK, and whether the state has the ability to regulate an AI system like Grok. Zoë also explains why some MPs are unwilling to let go of their accounts, even as the platform gets overrun with abusive and racist material. Of course, we also touch on the most important story facing the world right now, namely, the implosion of the Beckham family, and ask whether they could be put back together through the power of Cruz Beckham's electro-indie musical project.

ABOUT THIS CONVERSATION: In this episode I speak with Robin Stebbins, whose Substack Medicine Girl I discovered recently and immediately knew I wanted her on the show.We have a deeply honest conversation about health and medicine, questioning not only mainstream healthcare and the medical industrial complex, but also the unchallenged assumptions and fashionable claims within alternative health spaces. We explore how both worlds can promote dependency, whether through pills, supplements, or miracle cures, while ignoring the fundamentals of human health.This is not a conversation about quick fixes or easy answers. It is about asking better questions, stepping away from fear based medicine and fear based wellness, and remembering that the human body, when supported rather than controlled, is intelligent and resilient.Enjoy!DocLinksWebsite https://purifywithin.com/IMPORTANT INFORMATIONCONSULTATION SERVICEIn a world of rushed 7-minute consultations and endless referrals, I offer you something rare: time, context, and clear guidance.As your health advocate, I can help you:Understand your diagnosis and decode medical jargonBreak down treatment plans in plain, easy to understand non jargon EnglishPrepare for surgery, understand your risks, obtain true informed consent, and optimise yourself pre-op Recover from surgery, advise you how to heal faster and quicker and minimise post-op complicationsManage chronic illness with lifestyle, mindset, and dietary changesExplore holistic options that complement conventional careImplement lifestyle changes like fasting, stress reduction, or movementAsk better questions, and get real answersGet an unbiased second opinionReady to Take Control?If you're navigating a health concern, preparing for a big decision, or simply want to feel more confident in your path forward, I'd love to support you.Book here https://docmalik.com/consultations/ SeagreenIf you want to support your health naturally, I highly recommend trying Sea Greens, a rich source of bioavailable iodine and trace minerals that nourish thyroid function, balance hormones, and provide a clean daily boost from wild ocean plants.

Thanks to William Roam for sponsoring this episode! williamroam.com A single day in Bath reshaped how we travel—and how we unwind at home. We mapped a rail-first route through the UK, hopped off in this honey-stone city to dodge London traffic, and discovered how a smart stop can ripple through daily life. Between a whimsical dinner, a tiny yet brilliantly lit hotel room, and a slow morning perched above the River Avon at Pulteney Bridge Coffee, we gathered more than photos. We left with design ideas, a new recipe to test, and a deeper commitment to bathing as a nightly ritual.Walk with us past the Roman Baths, Bath Abbey, and the Royal Crescent as we share practical planning tips: when to rent a car, how to maximize a short stay, and why walkability matters. Then we head indoors, where a simple tub stopper becomes a secret weapon for on-the-road recovery, and warm soaks set up better sleep through the cooling effect. We talk subtle scents, plant-forward ingredients, and travel-ready formats that make a bathroom feel like a boutique hotel without a single renovation. Small luxuries—bath salts, a non-aerosol shaving cream, a calm candle—create a mood you can pack and recreate.We also chase the most unexpected souvenir: a chocolate avocado matcha cake that turned into a home project, proof that the tastiest memories are the ones you remake. Along the way, a museum poster echoes the art in our bathroom, stitching Bath's streets to our own walls. That's Roam to Home in action: let cities inspire rituals, let design guide lighting, and let water reset your pace so your nights are calmer and your mornings clearer.If you're ready to turn travel into lasting comfort, press play.
