In one of the most popular podcast episodes ever published by Evidence Based Birth®, Dr. Rebecca Dekker sits down with Dr. Alyssa Berlin, a clinical psychologist specializing in pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting, to discuss ways to make the transition to postpartum smoother, healthier, and more joyful for families. Together, they unpack why two-thirds of couples report a drop in relationship satisfaction after childbirth, what factors contribute to emotional struggles in the postpartum period, and how social media myths can set parents up for disappointment.

With Jeff Steadman away, Jim and Martin dive deep into the intellectual challenges posed by AI agents and the limitations of traditional non-human identity frameworks. Martin explains why organizations are feeling a sense of disillusionment with AI and how a capability-based identity fabric approach can help manage the complexity.

What quickly becomes clear is that nearly everything we think we know about angels, whether in highbrow film or lowbrow TV, somehow circles back to TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL, the definitive compilation of contemporary angel lore. WINGS OF DESIRE (1987) is contemporary but predates TBAA, yet it's remarkable how many similarities these works share despite occupying different cultural zones. For all the ways storytellers have tried to mix angels and humans, modern takes tend to rely on the same handful of ideas, treating them like biblical canon even though they're mostly invented. It's fascinating how much angel mythology comes from movies and TV rather than ancient texts, even when it feels old and authoritative. WINGS OF DESIRE is a gorgeously shot film that looks beautiful both in black and white, representing a guardian angel's professional distance, and in color, representing the human world. Its images of angels silently hovering around their charges feel like both a love letter to Berlin and a meditation on angels. The film centers on two angels, Damiel and Cassiel, who independently long for the authenticity of human experience as an escape from their impartial immortality. That longing deepens for Damiel when he falls in love with a mortal circus performer named Marion. An unlikely bridge between worlds appears in Peter Falk, playing himself in an inventive twist on the angel myth. A former angel who gave up immortality to become an actor, Falk communicates with Damiel and Cassiel about mortal life. Will they follow his lead? At Boys' Bible Study, we appreciate the film's inventive addition to the trope: former angels living extraordinary lives on Earth. Using a recognizable name like Peter Falk makes the idea land harder for a celebrity-obsessed audience, pushing the fantasy of angels longing for humanity even further.

“How could there be a war in this city?” is the plaintive question that starts Oksana Makysymchuk's “Arguments for Peace”. Like ours, the world of her poem holds both the “goodness of the universe” and “a foreign leader / warning of invasion”. She offers no pat answers for what to do in the face of conflict — just a dizzying sense of disbelief and the deep desire to hold tight to the people and life around us.  We invite you to subscribe to Pádraig's weekly Poetry Unbound Substack, read the Poetry Unbound books and his newest work, Kitchen Hymns, or listen to all our Poetry Unbound episodes.  Oksana Maksymchuk is a bilingual Ukrainian American poet, scholar, and translator.

She coedited Words for War: New Poems from Ukraine, an anthology of contemporary poetry and has published a few single-author volumes of translations. Born and raised in Lviv, Ukraine, she has also lived in Chicago, Philadelphia, Budapest, Berlin, Warsaw, and Fayetteville, Arkansas.

Understanding "Streets of Minneapolis"With Springsteen's latest single reaching #1 in 19 countries, we're witnessing a significant cultural moment. I'm proposing an exploration of the controversial, "Streets of Minneapolis"—examining it within a powerful American musical tradition that stretches back over eight decades.A Tradition of Musical CommentaryThis story begins in 1944, when Woody Guthrie (not Arlo—Woody was his father) wrote "This Land Is Your Land" as a response to Irving Berlin's "God Bless America." What seemed like competing patriotic songs represented something deeper: different visions of what it means to love your country. Berlin offered celebration; Guthrie offered reflection—including verses about inequality and hardship that rarely get sung today.Guthrie embraced a form of patriotism rooted in the Declaration of Independence—one that believes loving your country includes acknowledging where it falls short of its ideals. Writing during World War II and the aftermath of the Depression, Guthrie demonstrated how music could both honor and challenge the nation simultaneously.How Music Reaches Us DifferentlyThat approach influenced Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, and Bob Dylan—artists who discovered that songs could communicate social commentary to audiences who might not engage with traditional political discourse. A three-minute song on the radio could spark reflection in ways other media couldn't.Consider "Born in the U.S.A." How many of us have heard it as a celebration when Springsteen wrote it, in Guthrie's tradition, as a pointed critique of how America treats its veterans? Forty years later, it's still frequently misunderstood—even used at political rallies in ways that contradict its message. This pattern raises important questions about how we engage with art.When Music Captures a MomentIn 1970, after the Ohio National Guard killed four students at Kent State University, Neil Young wrote "Ohio" almost immediately. Released by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young within weeks, the radio-friendly song brought that tragedy into millions of homes, forcing a national conversation.What "Streets of Minneapolis" Asks of Us"Streets of Minneapolis" follows in this tradition—echoing "Ohio" across five decades. Like those earlier songs, it's not primarily about comfort; it's about bearing witness and prompting reflection.The question worth considering: Will we engage with what the song is actually saying, or will it become another anthem whose meaning gets lost over time?An Invitation to Listen Thoughtfully. An opportunity to make your own decisions. This isn't about taking political sides. It's about recognizing a form of patriotism that asks something of us—the kind that believes loving your country includes honest examination of difficult moments.Hosts: Rick Galusha & Mike OlsonKate Smith / God Bless America (1939)Woody Guthrie / This Land is Your Land (1940) Carter Family / The World's On Fire (1925) Bruce Springsteen / Born in the USA (1984) [Nebraska] Neil Young / Ohio (1970) Bruce Springsteen / Streets of Minneapolis (2026) Norah Jones / American Anthem 

Today...I'm my own guest, and I wanted to share a bit about my personal story and the inspiration behind my work. Starting out in emergency medicine in New York City, I eventually moved into family centered care. From personal experience and unanswered questions, I have always been driven by a deep discomfort with the lack of choice and context many people are given during pregnancy and birth. From podcasts, documentaries, and courses to founding a wellness practice and a growing media platform, I've designed offerings with the goal of helping people make informed, empowered choices.

Baywatch Berlin, im Jahr 2026 erst zwei Folgen alt, befindet sich noch immer im Bereich „Ablage“. Wie kann es sein, dass wir Ende Januar schreiben und trotzdem noch nicht ein Wort über Schmittis jährliche Urlaubskatastrophe verloren haben? Weil einfach zu viel passiert! Das Jahr hat noch nicht mal richtig angefangen, und schon muss man erstmal großflächig alles Aktuelle abräumen, damit wir es uns auch VERDIENT haben, über so was Schönes zu sprechen wie die weltweiten Alman Adventures von Thomas Schmitt. Was steht also an: Während Stefan Raab neben zwei Ikea-Palmen mittlerweile zur very late Prime die Dschungelreste vom Vorabend noch mal aufwärmt, ist nun klar, dass die Multifunktionsmäuse Bill & Tom „Wetten, dass..?“ übernehmen. Da darf man ruhig mal sagen: Huch. Was noch? Wer dringend eine Million Euro braucht, sollte diese Woche genau hinhören. Das Bundeskriminalamt hat zugegeben, dass sie die Stromabdrehertruppe aus Berlin alleine nicht kriegen und wendet sich nun hilfesuchend an die Bevölkerung. Was soll schon schiefgehen, wenn man mit unverhältnismäßig viel Geld ein paar ungelernte Hilfssheriffs mit viel Tagesfreizeit aufstachelt, die Polizei zu unterstützen? Außerdem konnten wir in den letzten Wochen folgendes Naturschauspiel unter Podcasthörern beobachten: „He would neither go towards the Fun Guys from Gemischtes Hack, nor return to the old farts of Fest und Flauschig. Shortly afterwards, we saw him heading straight towards Baywatch Berlin. And here, he's heading off into the interior of the vast Timeline. With 5,000 hours of bla bla ahead of him, he's heading towards certain stupidity. "BUT WHY?“ Du möchtest mehr über unsere Werbepartner erfahren?

Today I am deeply honored to speak with novelist, essayist, and scholar Yuri Herrera about his new novel, Season of the Swamp, which is a deeply researched and dazzlingly imagined account of Benito Juarez's time spent in exile in New Orleans.  We talk about what that time and place offered to Juarez's understanding of a world coming into being—one of créolité and carnival, of mixedness and multiplicity, and what these sometimes hallucinatory moments offered his political vision.  We talk about what kinds of new visions of freedom are discovered in the midst of forms of slavery that horrify Juarez.  Very importantly, we relate all of this to the present day—to the genocide in Gaza, the violent ICE attacks in the United States, and the descent into unbridled, and unmasked fascism. We are especially grateful to Yuri for reading from his novel, and talking in depth about the importance of mixed languages and the new social worlds they reflect.BioYuri Herrera (Actopan, México, 1970). His first three novels have been translated into several languages: Kingdom Cons, Signs Preceding the End of the World, and Transmigration of Bodies. In 2016 he shared with translator Lisa Dillman the Best translated Book Award for the translation of Signs Preceding the End of the World. That same year he received the Anna Seghers Prize at the Academy of Arts of Berlin, for the body of his work. His latest books are A Silent Fury: The El Bordo Mine Fire, Ten Planets, and Season of the Swamp. He is a professor of creative writing and literature at Tulane University, in New Orleans.

Aujourd'hui, je vous raconte une histoire troublante, celle d'une femme qui incarne à elle seule une question vertigineuse : peut-on être un génie artistique… et servir le pire des régimes ?Cette femme, c'est Leni Riefenstahl.Née en 1902 en Allemagne, elle commence sa carrière comme danseuse, puis devient actrice dans les années 1920. Rapidement, elle se passionne pour le cinéma, et passe derrière la caméra. Elle a du talent, énormément de talent : sens du cadre, du rythme, du montage, de la mise en scène. Mais c'est justement ce talent qui la fait entrer dans l'Histoire… par la porte la plus sombre.Au début des années 1930, elle se rapproche d'Adolf Hitler. Et Hitler, fasciné par l'image et la propagande, comprend immédiatement le potentiel de cette réalisatrice. Riefenstahl devient alors la cinéaste la plus emblématique du Troisième Reich.En 1935, elle réalise Le Triomphe de la volonté, film consacré au congrès du parti nazi à Nuremberg. C'est un choc esthétique. Les plans sont majestueux, le Führer apparaît comme une sorte de messie politique, les foules sont filmées comme un seul corps, une communauté hypnotisée. Ce n'est pas un documentaire neutre : c'est une œuvre de glorification, une machine à admiration.Trois ans plus tard, elle signe Olympia, sur les Jeux olympiques de Berlin de 1936. Là encore, elle innove : caméras mobiles, angles spectaculaires, ralentis… Le film influence durablement la manière de filmer le sport. Mais derrière le chef-d'œuvre technique, il y a un objectif : montrer au monde une Allemagne grandiose, moderne, unifiée. Le régime nazi comme vitrine.Alors, après la guerre, une question explose : Leni Riefenstahl est-elle coupable ?Elle sera arrêtée, interrogée, jugée dans le cadre des procédures de dénazification. Mais elle n'est pas condamnée comme criminelle majeure. Les tribunaux estiment qu'elle n'a pas participé directement aux crimes. Elle n'est ni ministre, ni militaire, ni organisatrice de la machine génocidaire. Juridiquement, elle s'en sort donc relativement bien : pas de procès de type Nuremberg, pas de peine lourde.Mais dire qu'elle a été totalement impunie serait faux.Car socialement, sa réputation est détruite. Son nom devient indissociable de la propagande nazie. Elle se défend toute sa vie en répétant : “Je ne faisais que de l'art.” Pourtant, la question demeure : peut-on vraiment être “apolitique” quand on filme Hitler comme un dieu ?Leni Riefenstahl mourra en 2003, à 101 ans. Et jusqu'au bout, elle restera ce paradoxe vivant : une pionnière du cinéma… au service d'un régime criminel. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Thinking about attending the European Film Market (EFM) in Berlin? In this episode, I break down how EFM compares to Cannes and AFM, why it's considered the most professional film market, and why filmmakers with finished projects and real credits get the most value from it. If you want smarter film distribution and market strategy, this one's for you.

C dans l'air du 29 janvier 2026 - Trump/ Iran : "le temps est compté"Le président des États-Unis a lancé mercredi un ultimatum à l'Iran, menaçant le régime des mollahs d'une attaque "bien pire" qu'en juin dernier faute d'accord sur le nucléaire. "Le temps est compté" a écrit Donald Trump sur son réseau social alors que le porte-avions Abraham Lincoln, accompagné de son escorte, est arrivé lundi dans le Golfe. Au total, dix bâtiments de guerre américains sont présents dans la région. Le président des Etats-Unis a affirmé qu'il s'agissait d'« une flotte plus importante (…) que celle envoyée au Venezuela », en référence à l'important dispositif militaire déployé depuis cet été dans les Caraïbes. Plus tôt mercredi, Téhéran avait rejeté l'option de négociations avec les États-Unis tant que leurs « menaces » persistent. Le chef de la diplomatie iranienne, Abbas Araghchi, a affirmé que l'armée de son pays était prête "le doigt sur la gâchette" à riposter à toute attaque américaine. Le chef de l'armée iranienne, qui a doté les régiments de "1.000 drones stratégiques", a promis également ce jeudi une réponse "rapide et écrasante".Dans le même temps, les vingt-sept ministres européens des Affaires étrangères se réunissent aujourd'hui à Bruxelles pour établir une position commune sur l'Iran. L'Union européenne prévoit d'émettre des sanctions, mais plusieurs pays estiment que ce qui est prévu ne sera pas suffisant. Certains veulent aller plus loin et demandent que les Pasdaran, les Gardiens de la révolution, soient officiellement inscrits le la liste européenne des organisations terroristes. Une position soutenue par Rome, Madrid, Berlin et depuis mercredi par Paris. Les Européens vont trancher cette question cet après-midi à Bruxelles alors que les ONG accusent les Pasdaran d'avoir orchestré la répression dont on découvre chaque jour un peu plus l'ampleur. Au moins 41 880 personnes auraient été interpellées, et des milliers de protestataires tués depuis début janvier, d'après les derniers chiffres de l'ONG basée aux États-Unis Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA).Alors quels sont les plans de Trump dans la région ? Pourquoi les États-Unis ont-ils déployé une armada dans le golfe Persique près du détroit d'Ormuz, axe majeur pour le transport mondial de pétrole et de gaz naturel liquéfié ? Que changerait l'inscription des gardiens de la révolution comme «organisation terroriste» par l'Union européenne ? Enfin où en sont les discussions sur le Groenland ?Alors que la diplomatie américaine s'est dit confiante afin de trouver une solution satisfaisante "pour tout le monde", Emmanuel Macron, entouré de la Première ministre danoise et du Premier ministre groenlandais, a rappelé mercredi que "le Groenland n'est pas à vendre, ni à prendre", en écho aux déclarations répétées de Donald Trump. Le récent bras de fer avec les États-Unis autour de l'île «est un appel au réveil stratégique pour toute l'Europe», a poursuivi le dirigeant français, dont les "For sure" continuent d'inonder les réseaux sociaux. La petite phrase prononcée par le président de la République au forum économique de Davos mardi dernier est devenue virale. Des milliers d'internautes la reprennent depuis en boucle.Nos experts :- Anthony BELLANGER- Éditorialiste - Franceinfo TV - spécialiste des questions internationales - Agnès LEVALLOIS - Présidente de l'Institut de recherche et d'études Méditerranée Moyen-Orient (iReMMO).- Général François CHAUVANCY - Ancien militaire, Spécialiste de questions géopolitiques- Lucas MENGET - Grand Reporter

La rumeur selon laquelle Hitler ne se serait pas suicidé en avril 1945, mais aurait fui vers l'Argentine, vécu caché en Patagonie dans une réplique du Berghof, puis serait mort dans les années 1970 après avoir eu deux filles, est l'une des plus célèbres fake news de l'histoire moderne. Ce qui la rend fascinante, ce n'est pas seulement son contenu : c'est la façon dont elle est née, puis s'est installée durablement.Ce que raconte exactement la rumeurLe récit suit généralement la même trame. À la fin de la guerre, Hitler n'est pas mort dans son bunker : un sosie aurait été utilisé, un corps substitué, les preuves truquées. Hitler aurait quitté Berlin via un réseau clandestin, parfois décrit comme une exfiltration organisée par des SS. Il aurait ensuite rejoint l'Espagne ou l'Italie, embarqué à bord d'un sous-marin, puis débarqué en Argentine. Là, dans le Sud du pays, au cœur de la Patagonie, il aurait vécu sous protection, dans une propriété isolée ressemblant à son chalet bavarois : le Berghof. Il y aurait terminé sa vie discrètement, entouré d'anciens nazis, jusqu'à sa mort supposée dans les années 1970.Comment la rumeur est néeTout commence en 1945 avec un problème majeur : le chaos informationnel.Quand Hitler se suicide le 30 avril 1945, son corps est brûlé partiellement. Les Soviétiques récupèrent des restes, mais ne communiquent pas clairement. Pire : la propagande soviétique entretient un doute. Staline laisse entendre, à plusieurs reprises, qu'Hitler aurait pu s'enfuir. Ce flou initial est le premier carburant du mythe.Dans le même temps, en Occident, la presse et l'opinion publique sont hantées par une angoisse : comment croire qu'un homme responsable d'un tel désastre ait pu “simplement” se suicider ? Cette frustration morale ouvre la voie au fantasme : une fuite paraît presque plus cohérente qu'une fin minable.Pourquoi elle a exploséDeux éléments réels renforcent ensuite cette fiction.1. Des nazis ont vraiment fui vers l'Amérique du Sud. Eichmann, Mengele et d'autres. Donc le public se dit : “si eux y sont arrivés, Hitler aussi.”2. Des services de renseignement ont reçu des signalements. Des gens affirmaient l'avoir vu en Espagne, en Colombie, au Chili… Les autorités ont parfois collecté ces informations. Mais dans l'esprit complotiste, le fait que des agences aient “un dossier” devient la preuve qu'elles “savent”.Comment elle s'est transformée en légendeDans les décennies suivantes, le récit se romantise. Des auteurs sensationnalistes ajoutent des détails : des villas, des photos floues, des cartes, des “témoins” tardifs. Et la Patagonie devient le décor idéal : vaste, sauvage, mystérieuse.Aujourd'hui, cette rumeur survit parce qu'elle suit une mécanique puissante : plus l'histoire est invérifiable, plus elle paraît profonde. C'est un récit qui donne l'impression qu'on détient “la vérité cachée”… alors qu'on assiste surtout à la construction progressive d'un mythe. Hébergé par Acast.

Betty Boyd Caroli's biography of Mary Kingsbury Simkhovitch is the first full-length work on a seminal figure in the settlement house movement, which spearheaded efforts to improve the life of immigrants and to counter urban squalor in cities around America in the early 19th century. Greenwich House, the community center Simkhovitch founded in 1902 in Greenwich Village, then a destination point for new immigrants to New York, quickly gained a reputation equal to that of Jane Addams's Hull House in Chicago, providing services in health, recreation, education, and the arts (which Greenwich House continues to do to this day). Simkhovitch became a tireless advocate of public housing and has been called by some "the mother of public housing." She played a central role in designing and administering the first public housing projects in America during the New Deal, in which she was an integral figure. The National Housing Conference, which she founded in 1931, continues to operate in our current "housing crisis" as among the most prominent advocates for safe, affordable housing. She co-wrote the National House Act of 1937, the first piece of legislation to establish the federal government's responsibility to help provide low-income families with housing. A Slumless America: Mary K. Simkhovitch and the Dream of Affordable Housing (Oxford University Press, 2026) by Caroli, best-known for her work on presidential First Ladies, which has gone through multiple editions, will become the standard account of a truly remarkable life. Born in New England and educated in Boston and at the University of Berlin, Simkhovitch married a Russian intellectual seven years her junior who spoke no English and had no job prospects. Raising a family while working for her rapidly expanding set of causes, Simkhovitch was portrayed in a DC Comics series (also featuring Diana Prince) in the early 1940s as a "Wonder Woman of History" for her seeming ability to do it all: take on the full spectrum of urban ills while also raising and supporting her family. Her husband eventually joined the Columbia faculty and became a noted art collector, advising collectors such as J. P. Morgan, while she exposed the squalor of Downtown slums. The stress of trying to do it all took a heavy toll on Simkhovitch, but her lifelong, passionate advocacy of and contributions to housing reform continued unabated and remains both inspiring and relevant. Betty Boyd Caroli is a graduate of Oberlin College and holds an MA in Mass Communication from Annenberg School of University of Pennsylvania, as well as a Ph.D. in American Civilization from New York University. She studied at the Università Per Stranieri in Perugia, Italy, and the Salzburg Seminar in Austria. A Fulbright in Italy led her to teach at the British College in Palermo, the English School in Rome, and two branches of City University of New York (Queens College and Kingsborough Community College).

Herbert Geiss ist gerade mal 20 Jahre alt und kommt frisch aus der Ausbildung, als er von seinem Onkel ein kleines Unternehmen für Schausteller-Bedarf übernimmt. Geiss ändert das Konzept – und baut innerhalb von rund 20 Jahren mit Deiters Europas größten Player für Karnevals-, Halloween- und Partybedarf auf. Im OMR Podcast verrät der Unternehmer, mit welchen Konzepten er inzwischen ganzjährig mehrere tausend Quadratmeter Ladenfläche bespielt, mit welchen Tricks er Karneval sogar in Städten wie Berlin oder Dresden beliebt machen will – und ob er schon mal darüber nachgedacht hat, Kostüme im Look seines Cousins Robert Geiss anzubieten.

Um zu beschreiben, wie eine Rezession verlaufen kann, greifen Wirtschaftsjournalisten und Politiker gern zu Buchstaben. W-, V-, oder L-förmig kann beispielsweise eine Wirtschaftskrise sich entwickeln.Seit 2020 wird häufig noch ein weiterer Buchstabe ins Spiel gebracht: K. Damit kommen gleich zwei Graphen ins Spiel, so dass beschrieben werden kann, wie unterschiedlich eine Krise für verschiedene Akteure verläuft. Einen Einbruch der Wirtschaft gibt es zunächst für alle, aber wie geht es dann weiter?Beim Pandemie-Schock zeigte sich, dass der Einzelhandel besonders stark litt und es zu Pleitewellen kam, während große Tech-Konzerne neue Allzeithochs erreichen konnten. Auch für den Verbrauchermarkt lässt sich eine K-förmige Entwicklung ausmachen: Während die obersten 10 Prozent noch mehr konsumieren konnten, erging es der Mittelklasse deutlich schlechter als vor der Krise.Wie aufschlussreich aber ist es überhaupt, solche Buchstaben zur Krisenbeschreibung heranzuziehen? Was wird dadurch offenbart und was verdeckt? Darüber sprechen Ole Nymoen und Wolfgang M. Schmitt in der neuen Folge von „Wohlstand für Alle“.WERBUNG:Zu Gabriel Zucmans neuem Buch geht es hier entlang:https://www.suhrkamp.de/reichensteuerLiteratur/Quellen: Peter Atwater: “The gap between the haves and the have-nots is widening sharply”, online verfügbar unter: https://www.ft.com/content/0ebfb7ca-a681-11ea-a27c-b8aa85e36b7e.

Es gibt Dinge, um die macht man sich keine Gedanken. Dachte – nennen wir sie mal – Anni jedenfalls. Sie hat sich nie Gedanken darüber gemacht, welches das richtige Klopapier für sie sein könnte. Sie kauft immer dreilagiges. Bisher jedenfalls. Denn in der Dorfgemeinschaft gab es vor Kurzem mehr als nur Zuspruch für fünflagiges Toilettenpapier. Jetzt wird doch jeder, der zu Besuch ist und aufs Klo muss, ganz genau hinschauen. Anni fragt sich, ob sie nachgeben muss, obwohl sie es nicht einsieht.

1943 galt Berlin offiziell als „judenrein“. Doch einige überlebten im Untergrund – auch Gad Beck und Zvi Aviram, dort, wo heute meine Küche ist. Von hier leiteten sie den „Pionierkreis“, die einzige zionistische Widerstandsgruppe Nazi-Deutschlands. Von Andrew Müller und Fabian Grieger www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Feature

Einfach mal Ja sagen. Feli hat mit Eiskunstlauf angefangen. Einfach so. Obwohl sie viel unterwegs ist, obwohl es unangenehm werden kann, obwohl sie sich vielleicht auch mal blamiert. Und genau darum geht es in dieser Life is Felicious-Folge. Es geht um die Theory of Saying Yes: Warum unsere Comfort Zone zwar sicher ist, uns aber selten wirklich weiterbringt. Warum kleine Entscheidungen große Kettenreaktionen auslösen können – Stichwort Butterfly-Effekt. Und warum nicht zu entscheiden oft die einzige wirklich falsche Entscheidung ist. Feli ist ehrlich: Für sie hat es sich gelohnt, Ja zu sagen. Ja dazu, ihr Dorf zu verlassen. Ja zu Berlin. Ja zu neuen Wegen, neuen Menschen und neuen Chancen. Nicht immer leicht oder bequem, aber genau richtig. Diese Folge ist eine Einladung, sich zu fragen: Wo sage ich aus Angst Nein, obwohl ich eigentlich wachsen will?

A secret love. A world at war. And a queer bond Nazi history nearly erased.In 1943 Berlin, a Jewish resistance fighter and a Nazi officer's wife risk everything for a forbidden love that defied hate, ideology, and the very machinery of genocide.In honor of International Holocaust Remembrance Day we bring you an incredible true queer love story. Lilly Wust, a mother of four married to a German soldier, never expected to fall for Felice Schragenheim, a Jewish woman in hiding whose hidden resistance work put her life on the line. Through flowers, poems, and letters signed Aimée and Jaguar, their love blossomed in secret homes, cafes, and wartime streets — illuminating queer history in the darkest shadows of the Third Reich. Their story, captured in Aimée & Jaguar, reveals queer identity under persecution, the brutality of Nazi antisemitism, and the courage it took to love out loud in a world built on fear.Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers brings chilling crimes, queer stories, and twisted justice to light, all with a cold one in hand.Press play, grab a drink, and join us as we uncover the untold queer love that survived hate and changed history.

This episode of 'Horror Joy' delves into Luca Guadagnino's 2018 reimagining of 'Suspiria.' Brian and Jeff explore the themes of academic horror, feminism, and political violence within the film's setting of post-war Berlin. We compare Guadagnino's version to Dario Argento's original 1977 film, discussing the significant differences, including the portrayal of witchcraft and the regulation of bodies in an academic setting.We highlight the film's complex power structures and touches on the role of music, dance, and cinematic techniques in creating horror. The discussion also questions Guadagnino's claim of making a feminist film, examining the intricate dynamics between the characters and the violent depiction of women's bodies. We find a blend of intellectual and emotional engagement in the film, despite their mixed feelings about some aspects.  Breathing Back the History of German Modern Dance through the Horror Film Genre in Luca Guadagnino's Suspiria (2018) by Wesley LimEntanglement In Time: Nostalgic Affect As Cine-Choreography In The White Crow (2018) And Suspiria (2018) by Kaixuan YaoRadically Feminist or Monstrously Feminine?: Witches and Goddesses in Guadagnino's Suspiria (2018)Goddesses in Guadagnino's Suspiria (2018) by Lindsay MacumberRoberts, John W. “Dancing the Dance of Another: Allegory, the Diagram, and Suspiria (2018).” Discourse: Journal for Theoretical Studies in Media and Culture, vol. 45, no. 1–2, Dec. 2023, pp. 33–64.

This is the final conversation from DLD. And the most optimistic - at least from a European perspective. John Thornhill, the FT's Innovation Editor and founder of Sifted, has a quite different take on Europe's tech scene from our other guests. Yes, he acknowledges, the regulatory environment is complex. And, yes, late-stage capital is thin. But Thornhill sees something the doomsayers miss: resilience. A new generation of founders isn't building “European champions” — they're building global ones. Innovation hot spots are popping up across the continent: London, Berlin, Stockholm, Tallinn, Lisbon. Paris (of all places) is enjoying a renaissance. And deep tech — biological computing, synthetic biology, materials science — may finally give Europe's research strength a viable path to commercialization. So who needs Silicon Valley Goliaths when you have an army of European Davids?Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Der Tag in 2 Minuten – vom 26.1.

À New Delhi, Ursula von der Leyen et Antonio Costa espèrent concrétiser un accord de libre-échange avec un marché de près d'un milliard et demi d'habitants.Le chancelier allemand appelle de tous ses vœux cet accord, de la même façon qu'il avait mis tout son poids dans la balance en faveur du traité Mercosur - aujourd'hui suspendu à la décision de la justice européenne.  De notre correspondante dans la région de Berlin, Contrairement aux Français, les agriculteurs allemands sont profondément divisés sur le dossier. Dans un pays où les très grandes exploitations intensives sont largement majoritaires, les principaux syndicats de l'agro-industrie, réunis à Berlin pour le Salon de l'agriculture qui a fermé ses portes dimanche, ont soutenu le Mercosur et sont favorables à davantage de partenariats économiques. Mais les petits agriculteurs, eux, sont à la peine et manifestent leur inquiétude. Malgré les températures négatives de ce mois de janvier, Lilli Haule est à la ferme depuis 7 h 15 ce matin-là. La jeune femme de 27 ans termine son apprentissage dans une exploitation du Brandebourg.  « Nous avons environ 120 animaux, il y a environ 45 vaches allaitantes et leur progéniture. » Passionnée, elle a toujours su qu'elle voulait devenir agricultrice et suivre les pas de son grand-père. Mais Lilli est aussi engagée. Depuis plusieurs années, elle participe au mouvement « On n'en peut plus », qui réunit agriculteurs, consommateurs et activistes – pour une agriculture plus raisonnée dans une Allemagne où la profession est très divisée, entre petits et gros exploitants. Une bataille entre petits et gros exploitants « Les dirigeants des grandes fermes-entreprises ont d'autres intérêts que les nôtres, et ils considèrent la profession comme une industrie, et non comme une activité paysanne. Nous ne sommes pas d'accord avec eux. Nous sommes certifiés bio et ce que je trouve particulièrement intéressant ici, c'est que nous cultivons de nombreuses céréales. Mais sans miser sur un seul type de culture – d'autant plus qu'actuellement le prix des céréales permet difficilement d'en vivre. Nous devons aussi produire suffisamment de fourrage pour pouvoir nourrir les animaux en été, car l'herbe ne repousse pas assez dans les pâturages », explique Lilli Haule.  Sa ferme se trouve en effet dans l'une des régions les plus sèches d'Allemagne.  Alors comme des milliers d'autres agriculteurs, Lilli Haule est montée en tracteur à Berlin pour manifester son ras-le-bol – et son rejet de l'accord avec le Mercosur par la même occasion. La jeune femme a laissé ses vaches pour la journée mais elle est déçue que le mouvement ici ne prenne pas davantage d'ampleur, comme en France : « Oui, l'accord Mercosur est tout simplement dramatique pour les agriculteurs !  Et il y a une chose que je trouve particulièrement intéressante : c'est que tous les agriculteurs européens s'accordent à dire que c'est stupide, mais tous ceux des pays du Mercosur aussi ! » Le nombre de fermes a baissé de 12 % en 10 ans Car les petits exploitants ont peur de se faire manger par l'agro-business. Selon le journal The Guardian, l'Allemagne est l'un des pays européens avec le plus de fermes-usines, notamment des élevages porcins. Malgré tout, la moitié des exploitations ici sont familiales – et ont du mal à joindre les deux bouts. Le nombre de fermes a baissé de 12 % entre 2010 et 2020, un chiffre qui ne devrait pas aller en s'améliorant avec le départ à la retraite de milliers de baby-boomers comme ces retraités, Jürgen et Anke, rencontrés dans le cortège. À la tête d'une petite exploitation, ils se battent pour leurs enfants et petits-enfants, « et pour que nos descendants aient un avenir !  En 2015, l'Organisation des Nations unies, la FAO avait déjà averti que si on continuait à pratiquer l'agriculture intensive, il ne resterait plus que 60 années de récoltes. Dix ans plus tard, on voit malheureusement que le système n'a pas beaucoup changé. » En cause, la baisse de la biodiversité, l'acidité des sols qui contiennent de moins en moins de nutriments et la hausse des quantités de nitrates dans l'eau. À lire aussiAccord UE-Mercosur: des milliers d'agriculteurs européens expriment leur colère à Strasbourg Le puissant syndicat Raiffeisenverband salue l'accord avec le Mercosur  À l'autre bout de Berlin, au salon de l'agriculture Grüne Woche, on est loin de ces considérations. Il a réuni mi-janvier plus de 1 500 exposants, dont les principaux syndicats agricoles, la grande distribution et de grands groupes de l'industrie agro-alimentaire. Malgré des intérêts qui divergent, ces derniers sont d'accord sur un point : le traité avec le Mercosur est une bonne chose pour l'Allemagne et son économie, comme le résume Jörg Migende, le secrétaire général du très puissant syndicat agricole allemand Raiffeisenverband. « Je comprends les inquiétudes de nos agriculteurs, mais elles sont moins liées au Mercosur qu'à leurs conditions générales de travail aujourd'hui en Allemagne et en France : bureaucratie excessive, normes environnementales strictes, mépris, denrées alimentaires à prix cassés dans les supermarchés. » À l'annonce de la saisine de la Cour de justice de l'Union européenne sur l'accord avec le Mercosur, voté par le Parlement européen le 21 janvier, le syndicat a rapidement appelé le chancelier Merz à demander une application provisoire du traité, pour « limiter les dégâts » d'un tel recours à la justice. À lire aussiMercosur: le Parlement européen vote en faveur d'une saisine de la justice de l'UE Car, pour lui, pas de doute : le traité est aussi une façon pour l'Europe de renforcer ses alliances avec d'autres pays, alors que ses alliés de toujours lui tournent de plus en plus le dos :  « Nous avons besoin d'accords de libre-échange, car nous disposons d'une agriculture performante qui produit des produits de qualité, très demandés dans le monde entier. Nous en avons également besoin sur le plan géopolitique, car l'Europe est forte et a besoin d'amis dans le monde, ce que les accords de libre-échange permettent à merveille de réaliser », explique Jörg Migende. Lilli Haule n'est pas convaincue par cet argument et elle sera de retour à Berlin pour la prochaine édition de la grande manifestation contre la politique agricole du gouvernement.

FILE 4. MOLOTOV IN BERLIN AND THE TRIPARTITE PACT. GUEST AUTHOR SEAN MCMEEKIN. The discussion focuses on Molotov's November 1940 visit to Berlin, where Hitler invited the Soviets to join the Tripartite Pact against the "Anglo-Saxon" powers,. Negotiations collapsed because Stalin demanded unacceptable control over Bulgaria and the Bosphorus, prompting Hitler to proceed with invasion plans while FDR quietly began lifting moral embargoes on the Soviets.1945

FILE 7. SPHERES OF INFLUENCE AND FAILED NEGOTIATIONS. GUEST AUTHOR SEAN MCMEEKIN. During 1940 negotiations in Berlin, Hitler attempted to align the Soviets with the Axis powers, but talks failed due to Stalin's insistence on expanding influence into Finland and the Balkans. Consequently, Hitler decided to invade Russia to break their economic stranglehold, while Soviet leadership simultaneously began preparing their own military deployments for a future war with Germany,.1931
