A federal judge tells the Pentagon its Anthropic ban was “illegal and baseless” after Anthropic refused to remove safeguards that would allow Claude to be used for mass surveillance and autonomous weapons. Meanwhile, Sony and Warner are suing Anthropic over allegedly scraping and torrenting copyrighted music to train Claude, while a separate lawsuit accuses xAI of using child sexual abuse material in Grok training. Because nothing says “revolutionary technology” quite like a growing stack of lawsuits and federal judges.Elsewhere in the dystopian workplace, employees are increasingly fed up with AI, communities are pushing back against data centers, and one AI startup is fleeing that backlash for Saudi Arabia. Google's AI shopping mode is also accused of recommending products that cost significantly more than traditional search results, while Waymo and Zoox rack up injuries among test drivers. Tesla's Autopilot is implicated in another fatal crash, and FSD apparently still has a complicated relationship with freight trains. In the prediction-market casino, a federal appeals court sides with Nevada against Kalshi, while George Santos earns the platform's first lifetime ban for allegedly manipulating a market. And Meta's AI glasses are facing another privacy lawsuit, this time from the people who never bought the glasses but may have been recorded by them anyway.Plus, the new Twitter is back from the dead, complete with a $20 admission fee and an AI fact-checker named Vera; Sony would like you to understand that buying a digital game means you don't actually own the damn thing; Siri on the Apple Watch moves at approximately the speed of continental drift; JBL makes Wi-Fi speakers and we have Star Trek, Ted Lasso, Silo, Spaceballs, Wicked, The Traitors, The Gentlemen, and more.

Touch is one of our most basic human needs, yet for many men, meaningful platonic touch can disappear from their lives for years, sometimes even decades.  In this deeply moving conversation, Dr. Dan welcomes Aaron Johnson, public speaker, facilitator, filmmaker, touch activist, founder of the Chronically Untouched Project, and co-founder of Holistic Resistance and Grief to Action. Aaron's work explores the emotional and relational lives of Black men and the messages many have received about what masculinity is supposed to look like. Be strong. Hold your emotions in. Take care of yourself. Don't show vulnerability. Through intentional listening, platonic touch, consent, tenderness, and community, Aaron is creating spaces where men can experience a different way of connecting with themselves and with one another.  Aaron shares how this work began with his own grief after the death of his father and his nearly year-long journey to regain access to tears after approximately 20 years of not crying. Rather than forcing an emotional breakthrough, Aaron discovered that being deeply and consistently listened to created the safety necessary for his emotions to emerge. That experience became foundational to his work and to one of its central principles: “Listening is the first hug.” Aaron and Dr. Dan explore what happens when men are given permission to move beyond the roles they have been conditioned to play. Aaron describes the powerful question that became a cornerstone of the Chronically Untouched Project: When was the last time you experienced three minutes of thoughtful, platonic touch? For many of the men Aaron has worked with, answering that question means searching decades into their past. The conversation explores why something as simple as holding another man's hand can feel profoundly vulnerable, particularly for Black men who have absorbed cultural expectations around hypermasculinity, strength, sexuality, and survival. Aaron explains how creating safety through listening and explicit consent allows participants to slowly experience touch without coercion, pressure, or judgment. Aaron also takes listeners inside one of the most moving practices featured in his films Dark and Tender and Dark and Tender: Big Island: the “tuck-in.” Grown men are invited to ask directly for the kind of care they need… pillows, blankets, a hand held, someone sitting near them, or simply the presence of others and then allow themselves to receive it. It is a seemingly simple act with profound implications. Aaron describes these experiences as an interruption of the belief that grown men, and particularly Black men, cannot or should not be held tenderly. Dr. Dan and Aaron also discuss the broader potential of this work. Learning to listen, communicate boundaries, practice consent, and understand vulnerability within our own bodies may influence how we treat other people's bodies and relationships. The conversation expands beyond individual healing into questions of violence, community, family, parenting, and future generations. Aaron emphasizes that homes and families can become powerful places for change. By modeling positive touch, listening deeply, making room for tenderness, and helping children use their voices, parents and caregivers can begin changing the messages boys receive about what it means to be strong. Ultimately, this episode is an invitation to reconsider connection itself. Strength and tenderness do not have to be opposites. Vulnerability does not have to diminish masculinity. And sometimes healing begins not with having the perfect words, but with creating enough safety to listen, to feel, and to allow another human being to be present with us. 1. Listening can be a form of connection before physical touch ever happens.Aaron describes listening as “the first hug.” Deep, nonjudgmental listening creates trust and emotional safety, allowing people to take increasingly vulnerable interpersonal risks. 2. Emotional breakthroughs cannot always be forced.Aaron spent months trying to regain access to his tears after his father's death. He ultimately discovered that safety, patience, trust, and being heard—not pressure—allowed the grief he had carried for years to emerge. 3. Three minutes of platonic touch can reveal how disconnected many men have become.A few minutes seems insignificant until someone realizes they cannot remember the last time they experienced sustained, intentional, nonsexual touch. 4. Consent becomes especially powerful when people experience it through their own vulnerability.Aaron's workshops emphasize explicit yeses and noes, careful listening, and respect for boundaries before physical contact takes place. 5. Tenderness and strength can coexist.Aaron's work challenges cultural narratives that teach men—particularly Black men—that softness, vulnerability, emotional expression, or being cared for somehow diminishes their strength. 6. Receiving care can be as transformative as giving it.Exercises such as the tuck-in give adult men permission to identify what they need, ask for it clearly, and experience being cared for without having to perform, compete, or prove themselves. 7. Changing the culture begins at home.Aaron encourages parents, caregivers, and families to create homes where healthy touch, listening, tenderness, emotional expression, consent, and the human voice are modeled from childhood.

In this episode of *Pediatric Perspectives*, I was joined by Kari Bundy, a health freedom advocate whose son Mason died three days after his four-month vaccines, and by Polly Tommey, who turned the interview around to ask me about pertussis, the DTaP/Tdap vaccine, and SIDS. Kari's story is a hard one, but it's the kind of story parents deserve to hear before they're standing in an exam room being told their baby needs a shot right now.

Welcome back to Nikky After Dark. Tonight's confessions don't stay in the bedroom.A PA sits across from her boss and gets asked—very professionally—if she'll sleep with the husband. She says once. Once becomes weekly. She leaves that first afternoon walking differently than she walked in.A twink in a silver collar spends Friday night on the frat-house carpet while six brothers take turns, then call him a good dump and feed him what's leaking out.A rain-soaked hug, clothes left in his bathroom, and a pair of worn brown lace panties that smell like flowers and daisies. He folds them so she'll know. The cleavage snaps start after that.A single mom locks the bathroom door, sinks onto a thick realistic cock stuck to the tile, squirts a little, and rides through it. Now she thinks about it at work.A woman wants to be kept, plugged, pouring drinks naked, then on her knees for every cock in the house—no exceptions—before the couch at the end of the night.And the one that lives in your thighs: dinner plates cleared, blindfold tied, legs spread on the table. The front door opens. Zippers. He tells her to guess which friend's cock is inside her. Every wrong answer tightens the clamp on her clit. When they're gone, he carries her to the bath and tells her he loves her.Plus the public-sentence question, a filthy riddle that isn't what it sounds like, and a reckless cabin weekend that was the best sex of her life… followed by silence.Consent under all of it. Wanting under all of it. Nobody here owes shame for the thing that makes them wet.Send answers and confessions to Nikky@dearnikky.com or DearNikky.com/confessions.

HEADLINES: Four men have been interviewed by Victoria Police detectives this week as part of investigations into the sexual assault allegations linked to the Sydney Swans AFL club. Police are investigating after a man was shot dead in Sydney’s west in what detectives believe was a targeted daylight attack. Consent advocate Chanel Contos has told National Press Club that big tech is radicalising young men into harmful sexual behaviour, and is pushing for a ban on social media algorithms. The world is on track to exceed 1.5 degrees of global warming within years, according to a new UN report. So it turns out we’ve all been drinking water wrong. And good news for animal lovers about the New Zealand kākāpō. New research suggests the real damage in contact sports might not be happening on game day, but during training, and it's raising urgent questions for anyone with a kid on a footy field this weekend. On this episode of The Quicky, we look at the degenerative brain disease increasingly turning up in Australian football codes, from AFL and AFLW to soccer, and why doctors believe the cumulative hits from years of junior sport could matter more than any single big hit. We hear from leading neurologist Dr Rowena Mobbs on what parents and clubs can actually do about it, and why the answer isn't pulling your kid off the field.Important concussion advice from Dr Rowena Mobbs, neurologist at Mater Hospital Sydney: - Keep brain health front of mind.- Carefully observe the athlete if a concussion is suspected and follow the protocols.- Know the red flags that may indicate a more serious brain injury: Neck pain - Increasing confusion, agitation or irritability - Repeated vomiting - Seizure or convulsion - Weakness or tingling/burning in the arms or legs - Deteriorating conscious state - Severe or increasing headache - Unusual behavioural change - Loss of vision or double vision - Visible deformity of the skull - Loss of consciousness. - If you see these signs, seek emergency care."

I also want to look at what gets missed when the subject is reduced to Black and white dynamics. And finally, where personal objection ends and control over other adults begins.

The developers behind the Waiwera Thermal Springs north of Auckland say they aim to honour the special place Waiwera holds in the hearts of many New Zealanders. The $58 million project to redevelop what was once one of the country's largest water parks has now been granted resource consent by Auckland Council and is aiming to open to the public in 2028. Joint managing director of Waiwera Thermal Springs Craig Mitchell spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

The Pleasure Zone with Milica Jelenic - Diamond Host Toying with better sex can transform the way couples experience pleasure, connection, and intimacy. Toying with sex isn't just about adding gadgets to the bedroom—it can be about discovering what your body wants, communicating desires, and making sex more playful. Toying with better sex can also help break routines, spark curiosity, and create new opportunities for pleasure and connection. In this episode, we'll explore five provocative talking points: Why Toys Can Make Sex Better Toys, Communication & Consent When One Partner Isn't Into Toys Solo Pleasure Meets Partnered Sex From Routine to Adventure 5 Key Takeaways Sex toys can be tools for self-exploration. Learning what you enjoy can make it easier to communicate your preferences and desires with a partner. Adding toys can create more pleasure, connection, and intimacy. Curiosity and play can help move sex beyond routines that have become predictable or stagnant. Consent and communication are essential. Regardless of how long you have been together, introducing or using a toy requires conversation and consent. Choose what works for your body—not what is popular. Different bodies enjoy different types and levels of stimulation, so the most talked-about toy may not be the right one for you. Solo pleasure can become part of partnered pleasure. Exploring a toy yourself and then showing your partner what works can open communication and create new opportunities for play together.

I went live on Facebook for the first time, admitted I'm still figuring out the dashboard, and shared how wild it's been to suddenly get major traction after posting since 2022—my page doubled, I hit 2.1 million views in a month, and monetization has me spending lots of time replying to comments because engagement matters (and yes, it pays). I introduced myself and my swinger/sex-club journey starting in April 2019 as a nervous 34-year-old single “unicorn,” talked about how I grew more comfortable at Oasis Aqualounge, and emphasized autonomy, consent, and body positivity while noting clubs don't check STI status and you must manage your own risk. I highlighted my friends' stories, my Sex and Swinging podcast/interviews, my fan page, Zoom coaching, and my course for single men, then answered live questions about single men's nights, boundaries, travel, and closing time. 00:00 First Facebook Live 00:42 Facebook Growth Story 01:34 Why Comments Matter 03:25 My Lifestyle Origin 04:20 Friends And Fantasies 05:51 New Followers Intro 08:29 Podcast And Interviews 10:02 Coaching And Fan Page 12:46 YouTube Loss And Journey 15:43 Oasis Tour And Consent 19:02 Single Men At Clubs 21:12 Travel And Resorts 24:29 STI Risk Basics 26:13 NYT Orgy Directors 27:41 Poly Vs Swinging Story 31:00 Boundaries And Safety 32:55 Content Variety And Wrap 36:00 Links And Final Qs 38:11 Goodbye And Thanks *description written with the help of AI* ***** Get 50% off a single course of your choice at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Level Up with Toronto Unicorn ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠using code: TUPODCAST50 ***** My new digital course website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://levelupwithtorontounicorn.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Sign up for my email newsletters to stay up-to-date on TorontoUnicorn news, events and swinger lifestyle resources: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://torontounicorn.kit.com/torontounicornemails⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ALL social media links (YouTube, podcasts, fan page, etc): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/TorontoUnicorn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ DIRECT link to my explicit TorontoUnicorn fan page: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://OnlyFans.com/TorontoUnicorn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

With the midterm elections on the horizon, will voters overcome a fraught electoral battlefield to show up at the polls? Threats to the electoral system such as polarization, misinformation, campaign finance, redistricting, and limits to the Voting Rights Act are reducing voters' trust. How can the system be rebuilt in a way that inspires confidence across the political spectrum? Heather Gerken leads a conversation with Rick Hasen, Janai Nelson, Sarah Isgur, and Ben Ginsburg. Gerken is president of the Ford Foundation; Hasen is a professor of law at UCLA; Nelson is President and Director-Counsel of the Legal Defense Fund; Isgur is editor of SCOTUSblog; and Ginsburg is a political law advocate.

John and Jackie tackle one of the biggest misconceptions about the swinging lifestyle: that being a swinger means being sexually available to everyone. In reality, consensual non-monogamy is built around choice, communication, consent, and boundaries. They explain that attraction and compatibility still matter, and every person maintains complete autonomy over who they choose to engage with. More importantly, swinging isn't simply about sex—it involves intentional conversations between partners about desires, comfort levels, and the relationship itself. Highlights Being a swinger does not mean being available to everyone. Consent and personal choice are fundamental. Attraction and compatibility still matter. Communication goes far beyond sexual encounters. Healthy boundaries help couples navigate the lifestyle together. Many stereotypes come from misunderstanding consensual non-monogamy. Education and honest conversations can help reduce stigma. Key Insights Consent Comes First: Participation never eliminates someone's right to say yes or no. It's About Quality, Not Quantity: Swinging isn't about accumulating partners; connection and compatibility matter. Communication Is Essential: Couples continually discuss desires, expectations, and boundaries. Autonomy Remains: Everyone maintains control over their own body and choices. Challenge the Stereotype: Understanding how consensual non-monogamy actually works can replace assumptions with respect.

"Consent of the governed."  It's such a powerful phrase in our Declaration of Independence and truly speaks to the heart of the American Experiment.  But what does consent mean?  To dive into this notion of consent and how it is derived and utilized in the creation of our founding documents, we are pleased to welcome long-time friend of Constituting America, Professor Christopher Burkett.  Dr. Burkett is an associate professor of political science and director of the Ashbrook Scholar Program at Ashland University.

Decentralized clinical Trials (DCTs) bring some or all elements of a clinical trial closer to patients. Consent, screening, treatment administration, and more can be administered through digital technologies and local health care providers, expanding accessibility for patients who face barriers to participation in traditional single site trials. In this episode, CANCER BUZZ speaks with Erin Pierce, MSN, APRN, FNP-C, Associate Clinical Investigator and Nurse Practitioner at HonorHealth Research Institute, and Kristen Kipping-Johnsson, MPH, Director of Network Research Operations at the University of Chicago, about how each of their cancer programs are approaching DCT implementation. Their discussion explores how decentralized components, such as community-based treatment delivery, centralized research infrastructure, and hybrid trial designs, can increase participation opportunities for patients in both community and academic settings. Guests: Erin Pierce, MSN, APRN, FNP-C Associate Clinical Investigator Nurse Practitioner HonorHealth Research Institute Scottsdale, AZ   Kristen Kipping-Johnson, MPH Director of Network Research Operations University of Chicago Chicago, IL "APPs are really poised to step into that role [of investigator] and help, not take the place of physicians, but work alongside our physician colleagues and enable us to expand the abilities of research." —Erin Pierce, MSN, APRN, FNP-C "Quality of life, being able to keep patients treated closer to home, allow them to stay with the physician that diagnosed them...Those are the things that are really important to me when it comes to decentralization." —Kristen Kipping-Johnson, MPH Resources HonorHealth Research Institute's First Steps to Approaching Decentralized Clinical Trials (DCTs) University of Chicago's Path to Operationalizing Decentralized Phase 1 Trials Across a Regional Network ACCC's Community Oncology Research Institute White Paper: Bringing Cancer Research to the Community:  Strategic Approaches to Representative Oncology Clinical Trial Design This podcast was created in partnership with the Decentralized Trials & Research Alliance, with support from Eli Lilly and Company, Gilead Sciences, and Merck.

⚡️NOTE: 2 days after the show is released...Aug 20-22, 2026, my guest Twila Brase, her team and I will personally jump into the comment section here on YouTube to answer your questions/comments. Scroll down below the video, leave your remark, and watch for replies. Join the New Earth Evolution... engage!Ever get the vibe that the world is being quietly remade right under our noses? Well, we know it is, and we are responsible for the next creation! The New Earth is shaking everything up, especially the old notions of western medicine and health care. A new era is buzzing beneath the old rules… rebellious as well as excited. That's exactly where this episode drifts: right into those wild, charged currents of change. And, this is not about fear or worry, yet having info so you can decide where your energy and mind leads.My guest and I are very different, yet the same. Soooo, I cozy up with Twila Brase, a freedom-loving, God-rooted nurse turned truth-teller and founder of Citizens' Council for Health Freedom. She has spent decades standing up to the machine, radio spots heard by millions, and the kind of no-nonsense research that makes bureaucrats shake. We sink our teeth into the hidden layers of the Real ID (that little star is not just decorative), mysterious baby DNA collections, the age-old trance of Medicare, and the not-so-cozy truth about HIPAA. I promise, the eye-widening moments arrive rapid-fire.As always, we land the episode with my favorite ritual: the "New Earth Practice." This time, I guide you on a meditation to reclaim your sense of power… right in the middle of the modern maze. Time Stamps:00:38 — Intro to Guest Twila Brase & Teases Into Eye-Opening Truths Ahead02:26 — Twyla's Roots: From Farm Life, Nurse to Fierce Freedom Advocate03:33 — When the Clinton Era Sparked a Fire for Health Freedom04:55 — That "Aha!"

Caitlin V is a sexologist, relationship coach, and host of Good Sex on HBO Max who has built a YouTube channel with nearly a million subscribers and over 170 million views, working primarily with men on erectile dysfunction, performance anxiety, premature ejaculation, and the isolation that comes with all three. She started as a sexual health researcher and policy analyst before deciding that change happens in conversations with real people, not in research papers. This is a live Dad Edge Alliance Q&A where Caitlin takes real questions from married men about a sexless stretch, shame carried into the marriage bed, sex used as leverage, and a marriage that has gone completely touchless. If you have been avoiding the conversation with your wife because the last time you brought it up it went badly, this one gives you the actual script.   Timeline Summary [4:12] – Caitlin's path from sexual health researcher and policy analyst to sexologist and coach [6:14] – First question, a husband who pushed too hard once and has been gun shy ever since [9:06] – Why a multi year backlog of unsaid things lands on one conversation and crushes it [11:01] – The cracked foundation, why repair has to come before any talk about frequency [13:35] – Reading her green lights and lobbing the flirtation back without adding pressure [16:33] – Naming the dynamic out loud as an act of leadership instead of a confession [23:58] – Why "the talk" is the wrong model for sex, with your kids and with your wife [27:39] – Nature abhors a vacuum, if she doesn't know what sex means to you she fills it in [31:25] – Anonymous question, premarital sex, religious shame, and less sex after the wedding [36:51] – The taboo factor, why sanctioned sex can lose the charge that breaking the rule provided [40:04] – Shame hates light, why you can't clean it out of her and what you can do instead [47:00] – Anonymous question, sex promised as a thank you that almost never arrives [53:09] – Why nobody can pre consent, and taking penetration off the required list [56:09] – What's underneath sex used as leverage, and how to rewrite that agreement together [59:11] – Anonymous question, a touchless marriage after years of backing off out of respect [1:03:25] – Betty Martin's Wheel of Consent and the Three Minute Game as the road back to touch   5 Key Takeaways Repair Before Frequency — Asking for more sex when years of unsaid things are still sitting there is like redecorating a living room on a cracked foundation. Go back and own what you didn't say first, then build. Name the Dynamic Out Loud — Leadership here is not initiating harder, it's surfacing the pattern so you're both looking at the same thing. Say "I haven't been lobbing these back because I'm afraid" instead of waiting for her to move first. She's Filling In Your Blanks — If your wife doesn't know the texture of what sex actually means to you, she fills that vacuum with social media, her friends, and her parents' marriage. "All you think about is sex" is usually a response to something that was never you. Warmth With an Invoice — If your past kisses and shoulder rubs came with a hidden price tag, she felt it, and that's why affection now reads as a bid. Own it plainly, then rebuild non-sexual touch on purpose. Nobody Can Pre Consent — Agreeing to sex tomorrow is like agreeing to salmon for dinner, the appetite can legitimately change. Keep more than intercourse on the table so a shift in the moment isn't a broken promise.   Links & Resources Episode page — https://thedadedge.com/1519 Roommates to Soulmates, Larry's 8 week program, cohort three starts September 16 — https://thedadedge.com/soulmates Dad Edge Day with the Arizona Cardinals, November 15 at State Farm Stadium — https://thedadedge.com/nfl Betty Martin's Wheel of Consent and the Three Minute Game — https://www.schoolofconsent.org Caitlin V's courses, 20% off with code DADEDGE, including Yoni Massage, Come When You Want, Hard As You Want, and Legendary Lover   Enjoyed This Episode?

Picture a room stuck for three weeks on one sentence for a new policy. Half the team wants a rule tight enough to enforce, the other half wants it loose enough to survive real life. Nobody's wrong, and nobody's moving.

Judson befriends the other two gay guys at his office, and triggers Brian's memories of discovering gay colleagues at work. The Hookup of the Week finds a listener having a hot hookup with someone he didn't think was interested in him. Brian and Judson then host their first podcast orgy of sorts with three repeat hookups at once! Adult entertainment stars Jonah Wheeler, Joel Someone and Daddy Kylex return to the basement to talk about all things pornography– their friendships, their working relationships and how they help one another navigate the industry. Joel and Kylex talk about what it's like to be actual neighbors, and how it makes for some spontaneous content shoots. Kylex and Jonah talk about sharing partners, leading to unintentional continuity and Easter Eggs between their videos. Joel shares the story about how he brought Jonah into the business via a miscommunication that turned out to be a happy accident and grew into a proper mentorship. The three explain why the videos they make together are some of their favorite content, how romance, intimacy and even the L word figure into their sexual encounters, and share new Daddy Issues--two with app behavior, and one with the loss of vulnerability after taking on the Daddy role for so long. To close, the three help Brian and Judson respond to a Go Ask Your Dad question from a listener who wants to learn how to love his own body.

In this episode of Not On Record, Joseph Neuberger and Diana Davison return to an issue they have discussed several times: the complicated intersection of BDSM, sexual consent and Canadian criminal law. For people involved in BDSM and alternative sexual communities, consent can be highly structured. Partners may negotiate boundaries in advance, use safe words or colour systems, communicate exactly what acts they are comfortable with, and even put their agreements in writing. So what happens when someone later complains? Joseph discusses two current cases involving clients who had established specific communication systems for consent, yet were still charged with sexual assault. The central question is whether negotiated consent systems have any legal protection when the criminal law is applied after the fact.

A Danish data center will heat a town with its waste heat, Sumitomo buys into Celtic Sea floating wind, and Cadeler orders two more vessels.

And check out Rosemary’s “Engineering with Rosie” Youtube channel. Have a question we can answer on the show? Email us! Good Monday everyone. A data center broke ground in Denmark this week … and the plan is for it to help heat the town. Not a slogan. But a pipe. Let me explain. The project is called Dansk Data Center 1. They put shovels in the ground on August thirteenth at the Port of Esbjerg in southern Denmark. The owners are the pension fund PensionDanmark … the real estate firm Thylander … and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners. That last name should sound familiar. Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners has raised about forty-three billion euros across fifteen funds … and builds energy projects in more than thirty countries. This time it is building a data center. Eleven and a half megawatts. By the standards of this business … that is small. But watch how they built it. The waste heat will go into the town’s district heating system … in partnership with the local utility … Din Forsyning. The cooling water runs in a closed loop and gets used again. And the plant can raise or lower its power draw to match whatever the Danish grid has to spare that hour. The chief technology officer put it plainly. The goal is for the data center not to be a burden … but an active part of a balanced energy system. Commissioning is set for October of twenty twenty-seven. Now … hold that model in your head. Because on the other side of the world … they are still doing it the old way. Centuria Industrial is a warehouse landlord. Australia’s largest pure-play industrial property trust. This week … in its full-year results … it told investors it is chasing more than two hundred and fifty megawatts of data center capacity. Some of that is expansion at sites it already owns. A twelve-megawatt building in Melbourne bought from Telstra back in twenty twenty. A small center in Toowoomba, Queensland. Another in Perth … leased to Fujitsu. But the rest of that plan is warehouses. Old industrial yards in Victoria and Western Australia that Centuria wants to turn into data halls. And here is the tell. For three of those sites … the company has already filed power applications. Not planning applications. Power applications. Because in this business … the grid connection is the product. Centuria’s head of funds management says Australian demand is now outpacing supply. He is not wrong. And he is not alone. So … two continents. Two data center stories. One built as a part of the power system. The other waiting in line for it. Either way … the load is coming. Which brings us to the people building the supply. Start in the Celtic Sea … about forty kilometers off the British coast. There is a floating wind project out there called Gwynt Glas. That is Welsh for blue wind. Up to one and a half gigawatts. This week … Japan’s Sumitomo Corporation bought a third of it. The other two thirds are held by EDF … and by Ireland’s Electricity Supply Board. Three equal partners. Now … Sumitomo has been investing in European offshore wind since twenty fourteen. But this is its first floating project anywhere in the world. And the timeline will test your patience. Consent applications do not even begin until twenty twenty-eight. Commercial operation is targeted for the late twenty thirties. That is a Japanese trading house writing a check today for electricity that shows up in fifteen years. The deal sits under a memorandum signed with the British government last year. Britain wants the Celtic Sea built. Japan just volunteered to help pay for it. Now up to Scotland. Vestas has installed the most powerful onshore wind turbine in Britain. It stands at Sanquhar II … between Dumfries and Galloway and East Ayrshire. The machine comes off the EnVentus platform … a bigger rotor married to a higher-rated generator. More energy out of the same wind. That project spent ten years in planning. And Vestas has more than six hundred megawatts of these machines under construction across Britain. But here is the argument going on inside the industry. Everybody is building bigger turbines. And yet a Vestas executive said this week … quote … we firmly believe bigger does not automatically mean better. Project economics are under pressure. In Germany and the Netherlands … you cannot get a blade that size under a bridge or through a village. Scotland is empty enough to try it. Britain now has about thirty-three gigawatts of wind … split about evenly between onshore and offshore. Onshore space is running out. So every new turbine has to do more work than the one before it. And then … there are the ships. Cadeler runs the largest fleet of jack-up wind turbine installation vessels in the world. This week … it ordered two more. The yard is COSCO Shipping Offshore in Qidong, China. The price … about eight hundred and five million euros. Call it nine hundred and thirty million dollars. Delivery … twenty thirty and twenty thirty-one. That will bring the fleet to fourteen vessels. And understand what these things are. The current class carries a deck of five thousand six hundred square meters … a payload over eighteen thousand tonnes … and a crane that lifts more than three thousand three hundred tonnes. Six extra-large monopile foundations per trip. The new class … they say … will be bigger still. Meanwhile the newest ship … the Wind Ace … is finishing commissioning right now. Its first job is East Anglia Two for ScottishPower Renewables … starting in twenty twenty-seven. And here is the number that tells you the most. Cadeler’s order backlog stands above three billion dollars. Eighty-two percent of that work is on projects where the customer has already taken a final investment decision. Nobody orders a nine-hundred-million-dollar ship for twenty thirty-one on a hunch. So … here is what to watch. For years this industry has fought one bottleneck at a time. Permits. Then supply chain. Then vessels. Now the bottleneck is the grid connection itself. Centuria filed power applications before planning applications. Because in twenty twenty-six … the scarce resource is not land or steel or capital. It is a slot on the transmission network. That changes the game for wind developers. The projects that win will not be the ones with the biggest turbines or the cheapest blades. They will be the ones that show up with a grid solution already in hand. Denmark just showed what that looks like. A data center that flexes its load … feeds heat back to the community … and makes the grid operator’s job easier. If you are developing a wind farm today … and you are not thinking about who will consume your electrons and how … you are already behind. The old pitch was … we generate clean power. The new pitch is … we solve a grid problem. That is the difference between a project that gets built and one that sits in a queue for five years. And that is the state of the wind industry for the 18th of August … twenty twenty-six. Join us for the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast tomorrow.

What happens when we stop accepting the stories we've been taught about sex, gender, bodies, desire, and pleasure—and start questioning who those stories actually serve? In this episode, we're joined by Ericka Hart, M.Ed. (she/they), a trauma-informed, consent- and pleasure-based sex educator who has spent the past 15 years teaching comprehensive sex education at the elementary, high school, undergraduate, and graduate levels. Ericka is the founder of Sex Ed as Resistance, author of Nasty Work: Resist Systems, Explore Desire and Liberate Yourself, and co-host, alongside her partner Ebony, of the critically acclaimed podcast Hoodrat to Headwrap. Ericka's work challenges us to think differently about sexuality—not simply as something we learn about, but as something deeply connected to power, culture, history, identity, and liberation. Together, we explore how traditional sex education has failed to give many of us the tools to understand our bodies and desires, and how societal and colonial ideas about sex and gender continue to shape who is allowed to experience pleasure. We unpack the history of consent and what it means to define consent beyond a simple “yes” or “no,” particularly when it comes to access, agency, and pleasure. We also talk about reclaiming desire on our own terms, body positivity and the people left out of mainstream beauty and sex-appeal standards, and practical ways we can begin to challenge the messages we've internalized about our bodies. This is a conversation about unlearning, resisting, exploring, and imagining something better—a world where sexuality education isn't about shame or fear, but about agency, pleasure, consent, and liberation. In this episode, we explore:• Why “education meets agitation” is at the heart of Ericka's work• Rethinking traditional sex education through Nasty Work• The impact of societal and colonial views on sex, gender, and pleasure• Consent, its history, and its relationship to access and agency• How to reclaim desire on your own terms• Body positivity, beauty standards, and who gets left out• Tools for reconnecting with your body and pleasure• What a radically different future for sexuality could look like• Ericka's work, Sex Ed as Resistance, and Nasty Work Learn more about Ericka and her work at ihartericka.com.

Matrimonial consent is an indispensable element of the Sacrament of Marriage. Fr. Mike explains why it is essential for those entering marriage to express their consent freely and why in the Church's eyes, “if consent is lacking, there is no marriage.” Fr. Mike also guides us through the Church's teaching on annulment and clarifies why it can be complex. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1625-1632. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

Ben & Bob talk about the history of the US Senate and why the august body is now under attack from both the Freedom Caucus and the Democratic Socialists of America.   For readings discussed in this episode, check out Michael Trotti's "The Troubling Roots of Off-Year Gubernatorial Elections" from Made By History (Oct. 29, 2025) and Article 5 of the US Constitution, which states: "The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate."   This episode was edited by Ben Sawyer.

I interviewed Mads Damsbo & Laurits Flensted-Jensen about Dark Rooms on Saturday, August 30, 2025 at Venice Immersive in Venice, Italy. Here is the story synopsis for Dark Rooms: "Dark Rooms is an exploration of human psychology through the prism of sexuality. The viewer and two other participants are invited to explore four inner spaces, each one a private, intimate story told and co-created by real people. A unique, embodied experience, guiding the users step by step into the heart of human desire and the shadows it casts. Dark Rooms is a sensory, site-specific and immersive installation that confronts the audience with their own bias and boundaries, exposing our deepest longings and the forces that may shape our sexual identities." Here are the contextual domains that are explored: Alternative and non-normative sexualities [5] that are usually hidden or taboo [12]. Exploring the culture of these Dark Rooms [11], the connection to personal identity [1], but also past and various familial traumas.[4]. Watch both as an invisible ghost [12], but also moments as an embodied character [1] to mimic being a part of this alternative culture [11]. Here is the Elemental Center of Gravity: 1st Center of Gravity of Earth Element / Environmental and Embodied Presence: Immerse yourself into the spatial architecture of these dark rooms. You're mostly a ghostly observer, but sometimes you do swtich into having an embodied role as a character within the narrative that's unfolding. But more to embody the form rather than to communicate or fully participate. More to evoke some embodied memories than to truly participate. The spatial transitions and overall spatial journey within this piece was one of the best jobs that I've ever seen. Feel like truely being taken on a spatial journey that I locomote through using my body and walking, but there's a cinematic quality to the spatial editing and rhythm of storytelling that's mirrored and amplified by embodied movements through space.2nd Center of Gravity of Water Element / Emotional Presence: Sense of awe, excitement, and wonderment. Listen to the oral history stories of these main protagonists, but in a way that's like walking through a spatial film, a waking dream, and a montage of memories. We see the stories of 3 different protagonists told sequentially.3rd Center of Gravity of Fire Element / Active Presence: Walking through a spatial architecture to tell a story. There's instances where you become a character who is play acting in the scene. No real narrative agency4th Center of Gravity of Air Element / Mental and Social Presence: Voice over narration is the primary mode in which the story is being told, but you're also embedded into these various spatial contexts and environments, and so there's also additional aspects of environmental storytelling happening. This experience allowed 3 people at a time to see it, and you see the other people as avatars who are also exploring these worlds. There was an AI-enabled offboarding pilot where you would start to debrief and talk about your experience, but it didn't necessarily have a clear stopping point as it would sort of endlessly ask questions. Archetypal Themes and Character Explored: exploration of human psychology through the prism of sexuality especially the "queer and non-normative sexualities." Also intends to "step into the heart of human desire and the shadows it casts" & "wish to open the doors to the darker spaces of our protagonists' sexuality." Embodied radical consent within the production of the process where participants had more control and agency over how their story was being told Artist Statement: "Dark Rooms was born out of a shared playfulness and curiosity. Laurits, coming from classic documentary, and Mads, from immersive storytelling, began a collaboration based on the idea of a virtual reality experience that would allow the audience to explore unknown territory through the prism of sexuality. Early on, Anne Sofie was connected to the project, and through her eyes and experience with queer and non-normative sexualities, the project grew into its current form. Dark Rooms is not only a reference to the unknown and the sexual — it is also a wish to open the doors to the darker spaces of our protagonists' sexuality. Under the maxim of “nothing about us, without us”, Dark Rooms was developed and designed through an intimate co-creation process with the protagonists, to help expose their journeys in a form that the audience would embody." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JV7H0mn_BPU This is a listener-supported podcast through the Voices of VR Patreon.

Jane joins us from New South Wales, Australia, to share her lifelong encounters with the Greys. Unlike many abduction accounts dominated by fear, Jane remembers being treated with kindness and views much of her contact as positive. She discusses her claimed involvement in a Grey-human hybrid programme, its possible purpose and the surprising figure known as Greyam. We also consider the difficult questions surrounding consent and the ethics of abduction when the beings involved appear to have benevolent intentions.Humalien Facebook Group:Humalien Too:Amazon.comMore information on this episode on the podcast website:https://ufochroniclespodcast.com/2026-2/If you enjoy this podcast, please support the show with a virtual coffee:https://ko-fi.com/ufochroniclespodcastFollow and Subscribe on X to get ad-free episodesX: https://x.com/UFOchronpodcast/Want to share your encounter on the show?Email: UFOChronicles@gmail.comOr Fill out Guest Form:https://forms.gle/uGQ8PTVRkcjy4nxS7Podcast Merchandise:https://www.teepublic.com/user/ufo-chronicles-podcastHelp Support UFO CHRONICLES by becoming a Patron:https://patreon.com/UFOChroniclespodcastAll Links for Podcast:https://linktr.ee/UFOChroniclesPodcastThank you for listening!Like share and subscribe it really helps me when people share the show on social media, it means we can reach more people and more witnesses and without your amazing support, it wouldn't be possible.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ufo-chronicles-podcast--3395068/support.
