Little self-published booklets known as 'zines' have long been a staple of DIY and counter-culture movements. They have deep roots in underground music scenes like punk. Today, zines are having a renaissance, with more DIY-ers returning to the medium to spread information and stories - as well as to avoid increased censorship. The Common recently visited the Boston Public Library's Jamaica Plain branch to check out the BPL's zine collection with children's librarian and local punk drummer, Chris Strunk.

atai Life Sciences (NASDAQ:ATAI, ETR:9VC) CEO and co-founder Dr Srinivas Rao talked with Proactive about the company's upcoming clinical milestones and strategic focus in 2025. Rao outlined four major clinical readouts across atai's pipeline of short-duration psychedelics, including updates on VLS-01, BPL-003, RL-007 and EMP-01. The company has dosed its first patient in the VLS-01 trial for treatment-resistant depression, a study that includes an innovative two-dose approach. Rao noted, “This will be the first data set that's going to come out that really addresses the question of what is the incremental benefit of a re-dose?” The trial is expected to read out in Q1 of next year. The BPL-003 trial has completed enrolment and is expected to report results mid-year, alongside RL-007, which targets cognitive impairment associated with schizophrenia. EMP-01, which focuses on social anxiety disorder, is also underway with data expected around the same time as VLS-01. Rao also highlighted that atai recently raised additional capital, extending its funding runway into 2027. The company is focused on short-duration psychedelics with easy-to-administer formulations, such as VLS-01's oral strip delivery system.

Over the past decade, the Brooklyn Public Library has hosted a late-night event that's part-performance and part-pop-up third space. Night At The Library, which will run at BPL's main branch at 10 Grand Army Plz from 7 p.m. Saturday night to 2 a.m. According to the event's website, this year's theme is “The Sky Above Brooklyn –The Philosophy of the Sublime,” through which organizers aim to demonstrate that “the reality we experience is only a small part of a much bigger picture.” Adwoa Adusei, manager of BPL's Library for Arts and Culture, explains how the evening's programs will speak to that theme.

In hindsight, dedicating an entire episode title to the return of first half shots last week was a mistake. Unfortunately, FanDuel decided we weren't allowed to have fun anymore. Despite that very disappointing news, Sam and Brad hopped online to talk about all the exciting games that happened last week, and to cover the upcoming domestic and European slates. Is the FA Cup still magical, or will we all just be sad that there aren't any Premier League games this weekend? Who will triumph in the first leg of a UCL Madrid derby? Will Bayern vs Leverkusen finally be exciting? And will PSG vs Liverpool be as exciting as we're all hyping it up to be? All of this, and more, will be covered in the latest episode of The Final Third. Hosted by Sam aka FIFA Brit and MrBradThomas

Nobody thought it would happen, but somehow, first half shots have returned to FanDuel, so Sam and Brad were pretty excited about the whole thing. The Champions League playoffs are over, and the Premier League title race has taken yet another twist. Can Liverpool bounce back with a win away from home against Man City? Will Arsenal continue their unbeaten run in the league, despite not having any actual strikers available to play? How long will the first half shots market stick around this time, and how can we make lots of money on it in the meantime? All of this, and more, will be covered in the latest episode of The Final Third. Hosted by Sam aka FIFA Brit and MrBradThomas

Sam and Brad stay up past their bedtimes (slightly before midnight) to record this episode so it can get out on time for Friday morning. You're welcome. Somehow, we're already approaching the second legs of the Champions League knockout playoffs, and the Premier League title race took yet another turn after the last Merseyside Derby at Goodison Park ended in controversy. Will Liverpool be able to finish strong and win the league? Can Arsenal overcome their desperate injury crisis? And when will things get better, if ever, for Pep and Man City? All of this, and more, will be covered in the latest episode of The Final Third. Hosted by Sam aka FIFA Brit and MrBradThomas

Now that the construction on Sam's street isn't happening during recording time, Sam and Brad can return in peace with another episode. The Champions League league phase has concluded, so it's time to break down the winners and losers of this new format, and talk about the matchups for the knockout playoffs. A lot of Arsenal Stuff has occurred in the past couple of weeks as well, which means Sam is due for a Big Rant. He even lets Brad talk during this one! What issues are affecting the standard of officiating in England? How will Man City and Madrid match up against each other in yet another electric Champions League matchup? And what is going wrong with online sports discourse these days? All of this, and more, will be covered in the latest episode of The Final Third. Hosted by Sam aka FIFA Brit and MrBradThomas

atai Life Sciences (NASDAQ:ATAI, ETR:9VC) CEO and co-founder Dr Srinivas Rao talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the promising results in strategic investee Beckley Psytech's Phase 2a study of BPL-003 for alcohol use disorder. Rao highlighted the significant unmet need in treating alcohol use disorder (AUD), which affects approximately 400 million people globally and contributes to 3 million deaths per year. The Phase 2a trial, though small with 12 participants, yielded promising results. Patients received a single dose of BPL-003 alongside cognitive behavioral therapy, leading to a 50% abstinence rate over three months. Additionally, heavy drinking days were reduced from 56% to 13%, while abstinent days increased from 33% to 81%. Looking ahead, atai Life Sciences is anticipating data from a larger Phase 2b study. Rao explained that BPL-003, a 5-MeO-DMT benzoate nasal spray, is being evaluated for its potential to provide long-lasting therapeutic effects with a single administration. This approach contrasts with existing treatments like Esketamine, which require frequent dosing. Rao emphasized that shorter-duration psychedelic treatments could ease the burden on patients and healthcare providers. By reducing the need for frequent visits, these therapies could make mental health treatment more accessible and scalable.

Sam and Brad are back... with a consistent upload schedule for the first time in forever. Everybody is happy.

That's right, your favorite lads Sam and Brad are finally back from the Christmas hiatus, ready to get to work on the latter half of the season. Fortunately, soccer has never been more exciting, and with Champions League right around the corner once again, it's a perfect time to hop back on the mic and break down the upcoming games. Can Liverpool maintain their lead at the top of the EPL table, or are the cracks finally starting to show? When did Newcastle get good? When did Chelsea get bad? And who knows whether Arsenal are good or bad at this point. Transfer rumors, contract disputes, predictions, you name it!

Sam and Brad are back (yay!) for the last episode of 2024 (boo!). No idea why the Premier League loves cramming fixtures in during the Christmas period, but some things you just gotta live with. Fortunately, before they depart to spend the holidays with their families, the boys got together to discuss the state of the season so far, as well as some upcoming games this weekend. Can Liverpool regain their winning form? Will Arsenal ever score from open play again? And are Chelsea actually dark horses for the league title, or are they being set up to fail by the English media? All of this, and more, will be covered in the latest episode of The Final Third.

Once again, an international break looms on the horizon, so Sam and Brad are here to break down the last weekend of domestic soccer before everybody gets bored for a couple of weeks. Should Madrid fans be concerned with their club's current run of poor form, and can they get back on track against Osasuna? Have Arsenal fallen out of the title race already, or will they bounce back against Chelsea? Can Nottingham Forest continue to defy expectations? All of this, and more, will be covered in the latest episode of The Final Third. Hosted by Sam aka FIFA Brit and MrBradThomas

Sam finally has very little to complain about this week, so he's pointing out how much Madrid fans are suffering instead. It's only fair.

In a surprising turn of events, Sam is complaining about the referees today. Oh, wait, that doesn't surprise anybody at all. In spite of the ranting, Sam and Brad actually managed to talk about all the action that took place over the past week and look ahead to the weekend games as well. Will Madrid or Barca triumph in the most anticipated El Clasico in recent memory?

Not only did we have to suffer through another international break, but we lost the best soccer market as well. Despite that tragedy, Sam and Brad got together to discuss new markets, why first half shots on target are a completely different ballgame, and the otherwise joyous return of domestic soccer. Are we due for another goalfest when Spurs take on West Ham? Will Brentford score yet another early goal when they play Man U at Old Trafford? Are we prepared to sweat the under when Liverpool play Chelsea? And could we be due for an... exciting... weekend of Serie A? All of this, and more, will be covered in the latest episode of The Final Third. Hosted by Sam aka FIFA Brit and MrBradThomas

After an absolute banger of a week, Sam and Brad fired up the mics to talk about everything that happened in the soccer world this week and go through the last week of domestic league action before the next international break. Even though poor Sam had a cold this week. Will Palace finally win a game, or will Liverpool continue their dominant run of form? Will Aston Villa be the final nail in Ten Hag's coffin at Man U? Will Madrid bounce back at home against Valencia after a particularly tough week? And will Bayern reassert their domestic dominance against Frankfurt? All of this, and more, will be covered in the latest episode of The Final Third. Hosted by Sam aka FIFA Brit and MrBradThomas

Arsenal were at the center of another refereeing controversy, so obviously Sam had a lot to say, and sometimes Brad got a chance to speak as well. Somewhere in the middle of all the ranting, there were some interesting games to talk about as well! How will Real Madrid adjust their lineups with Mbappe out injured? Can Crystal Palace finally win a game, against Everton of all teams? Will there be any defense whatsoever between Man U and Spurs? And who will come out victorious in the Bundesliga clash of the titans between Bayern and Leverkusen? All of this, and more, will be covered in the latest episode of The Final Third.

Despite that, there was still much to be discussed- will Man City triumph at home against Arsenal, or will Arteta take more points away from them? Who needs a win more, Crystal Palace or Man U? And can we all agree that Spurs are simply not good? All of this, and more, will be covered in the latest episode of The Final Third. Hosted by Sam aka FIFA Brit and MrBradThomas.
