Thomas Winstanley from Edibles.com is back to discuss the critical issue of federally recriminalizing hemp-derived THC products like Delta 8 THC via the congressional spending bill, despite the industry being legalized under the 2018 Farm Bill.Winstanley emphasized the dire economic consequences for farmers, noting that recriminalization would wipe out a $6.6 billion industry, and argued for a six-month extension to the November 2026 deadline to prevent farmers from harvesting useless crops.As a political concession to preserve the category, he suggested a focus on codifying the market with a 5-milligram per serving limit for hemp edibles. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Listen without ads at www.patreon.com/dopeypodcastIn this Dopey replay, We revisits rare and unfiltered moments with Nick Reiner and Chris O'Connor from early episodes of the show — recorded years before the tragic events surrounding the Reiner family.The episode reflects on a time when addiction and mental illness had not yet fully hardened into catastrophic consequences. Dave explains why he chose to release this material now, reading listener reactions and grappling with the complexity of showing who Nick was before everything went wrong.What follows is a raw, chaotic, often funny, and deeply human stretch of Dopey history: arguments, drug stories, recovery talk, basketball injuries, relapse temptations, seizures, rehab memories, and one particularly moving story of Nick tripping on LSD and being cared for by his father through the night.The episode closes with a reflection on recovery, connection, and the importance of reaching out — both to those struggling and to those we love — alongside a tribute to Chris O'Connor and the reminder that hindsight doesn't protect us, but connection sometimes can.

He was one of the greatest hurlers Ireland has ever produced — a sporting icon, a hero, a name that stood for excellence and pride. But behind that public image was a deception that would shock the country and devastate those who trusted him. That hurler is, of course, DJ Carey, and in this episode, I'm joined by journalist Eimear Ní Bhraonáin to discuss her book The Dodger: DJ Carey and The Great Betrayal. Together, we unpack how one of Ireland's most celebrated sports stars became the centre of a long-running con, the psychology behind the deception, and the investigative work that finally brought the truth to light.We talk about the victims, ordinary people who believed they were helping someone they admired, and the deep sense of betrayal and disbelief that followed. This is a conversation about power, manipulation, and how charisma and status can blind even the most careful among us.LinksEimear's book

This is a Patreon episode we liked so much that we unlocked it for everyone to hear. We hope you enjoy it. This week, Jason and Ben sat down to acknowledge and resolve all the contradictions that have manifested in our discussions on this podcast. Actually, we don't resolve anything, but we do acknowledge some things. Our listeners will know that we often disagree with the broader left, each other, and our earlier selves. While we don't manage to piece together a solid line for the podcast, we do manage to talk a lot about those contradictions.Send us a message (sorry we can't respond on here).

Mount Rushmore, with its images of four Presidents carved into the Black Hills of South Dakota, is America's most identifiable monument. It might also be its most monumental contradiction — which is saying a lot, given the country's gaping contradictions. According to Matthew Davis, the mountain's biographer, the history of the Rushmore project captures both the remarkable engineering achievements of early 20th-century America and the country's bloody colonial and racist past. So Mount Rushmore, Davis suggests, is indeed as American as cherry pie. Only that pie and those cherries aren't quite as sweet as the MAGA crowd might like to think.

These aren't fringe ideas or speculative theories. We're talking about the foundational experiments that shaped modern physics: Michelson–Morley, the Sagnac effect, Airy's findings, and the behavior of light in different media. Bennett explains why these results never actually aligned with the narrative textbooks insist on, and how later interpretations were engineered to keep the model intact.We explore the deeper tension underneath the science: the commitment to a worldview that insists humanity cannot occupy a privileged position in the cosmos. Bennett argues that the Copernican principle functions less like an inference and more like a dogma — and when experimental results contradict it, the results get reframed, ignored, or buried. His critique isn't emotional or conspiratorial; it's a sober, technical walk through data that refuses to fit the prevailing cosmology.From aether theories to Newton's bucket to the “axis of evil” in the cosmic microwave background, this conversation opens a door into questions most of us never realized were on the table. Whether you agree, disagree, or simply want to think more critically about the experiments behind modern physics, this is a discussion worth sitting with.You'll Learn:[00:00:00] Introduction[00:11:41] The moment that sparked questioning the very foundations of relativity[00:13:53] What the Michelson Morley experiment actually showed, and how it was misinterpreted and used to reify relativity[00:25:59] The experiments beyond Michelson-Morley that prove aether exists and Earth doesn't rotate[00:34:31] Newton's bucket, inertial frames, and Mach's competing explanation[00:46:15] Why the cosmic microwave background's "axis of evil" points directly to Earth[00:53:28] Why Airy's "failure" was actually a success in falsifying heliocentrism[01:04:11] The nuanced difference between geocentrism and geostatism, and why neither requires a flat Earth[01:21:57] Why GPS had to be engineered around relativity, not built on it[01:33:13] What is aether and what is the alpha model?[01:37:07] What Hildegard of Bingen's medieval vision reveals about Earth's central role in creation[02:01:30] The profound connection between aether, consciousness, and the nature of God[02:11:26] When coincidences become evidence of something beyond the physical[02:14:09] Long-buried artifacts and texts are emerging at this critical moment in historyResources Mentioned:Galileo Was Wrong by Robert Bennett and Robert Sungenis | BookVixra Monographs | WebsiteThe True Conception of the World according to Hildegard von Bingen | BookAn End to the Upside Down Cosmos by Mark Gober | Book or AudiobookFind more from Alec:Alec Zeck | InstagramAlec Zeck | XThe Way Forward | InstagramThe Way Forward is Sponsored By:RMDY Academy & Collective: Homeopathy Made AccessibleHigh-quality remedies and training to support natural healing.

Stefan Molyneux critiques Immanuel Kant's moral philosophy, focusing on the categorical imperative, and argues it doesn't offer a firm base for morality. He questions why the principle should apply universally and how it works in societal setups, pointing out the risks of taking on flawed moral theories that support oppression. By showing contradictions in Kant's ideas, especially around authority, he stresses that moral theories need to apply the same to everyone. He suggests the true danger comes from ethical breakdowns in systems rather than lone acts of wrongdoing, and promotes Universally Preferable Behavior (UPB) as a way to address that. He pushes for rethinking moral theories to help create a fairer society, noting how misguided moral reasoning can affect public health and ethics.SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

Gavin Newsom is the 2028 Democratic front-runner. That's what many of the polls and the Polymarket betting odds say.It's been widely believed that Newsom wants to run for president someday. But belief that he could be a front-runner was less common. A liberal white guy from a state that much of the country considers badly governed just didn't seem like the profile the Democratic Party was looking for.But as a Californian who has watched Newsom for a long time, I was surprised by him this year. After President Trump returned to the White House, Newsom started a podcast, interviewing people like Charlie Kirk, Steve Bannon and Michael Savage, which made a lot of Democrats mad. At the same time, Newsom turned himself into the leader of the resistance — trolling Trump on social media and pushing a ballot initiative to end California's independent redistricting to counter the partisan redistricting effort in Texas.Newsom has been willing to try things and take risks. He has shown a feel for this moment — in politics and in the way attention works now.But it's still true that he runs a state that the country considers badly governed. California tops the rankings of unaffordable states, at a time when affordability has become a central electoral issue.In this conversation, I ask Newsom about all of this — what he learned this year from talking to figures on the right, how he thinks the Democratic Party can win back voters it lost, why California is so unaffordable and what he's doing about it.Mentioned:Applebee's America by Ron Fournier, Douglas B.

In this compelling episode of The Rational Egoist, Michael Liebowitz sits down once again with author, prosecutor, and philosopher James Stevens Valliant to tackle a recurring confusion in libertarian circles: the attempt to merge individual-rights philosophy with anarchism — a fusion often labelled “anarcho-Objectivism.”Michael and James examine why this hybrid collapses on its own premises. They break down the essential role of objective law, the necessity of a single rights-protecting legal framework, and why competing private “justice agencies” cannot uphold rights but inevitably devolve into private warlords.The discussion cuts through romantic rhetoric about “voluntary governance” and focuses instead on the practical requirements of living in a civilised society: clear laws, a monopoly on retaliatory force, and institutions bound by objective standards. Without these, rights aren't defended — they're extinguished.James draws on history, legal philosophy, and decades of work studying the moral foundations of liberty. Michael brings his trademark clarity: a deeply lived understanding of what happens when law is arbitrary, when justice fragments into competing factions, and when force is no longer restrained by principle.Together, they demonstrate why any view that rejects government altogether cannot claim to defend freedom. A society without a single, rights-protecting legal structure doesn't maximise liberty — it destroys the conditions that make liberty possible.This episode is essential listening for anyone who has ever wondered why a rights-based philosophy necessitates government — and why eliminating government doesn't lead to freedom, but to the rule of the sword.About Michael Liebowitz – Host of The Rational EgoistMichael Liebowitz is the host of The Rational Egoist podcast, a philosopher, author, and political activist committed to the principles of reason, individualism, and rational self-interest.

Today, Michael speaks, writes, and debates passionately in defence of individual rights and intellectual clarity.He is the co-author of two compelling books that examine the failures of the correctional system and the redemptive power of moral conviction:Down the Rabbit Hole: How the Culture of Corrections Encourages Crimehttps://www.amazon.com.au/Down-Rabbit-Hole-Corrections-Encourages/dp/197448064XView from a Cage: From Convict to Crusader for Libertyhttps://books2read.com/u/4jN6xjAbout Xenia Ioannou – Producer of The Rational EgoistXenia Ioannou is the producer of The Rational Egoist, overseeing the publishing and promotion of each episode to reflect a consistent standard of clarity, professionalism, and intellectual integrity.As a CEO, property manager, entrepreneur, and lifelong advocate for capitalism and individual rights, Xenia ensures the podcast stays true to its core values of reason, freedom, and personal responsibility.Xenia also leads Capitalism and Coffee – An Objectivist Meetup in Adelaide, where passionate thinkers gather to discuss Ayn Rand's ideas and their application to life, politics, and culture.Join us at: https://www.meetup.com/adelaide-ayn-rand-meetup/(Capitalism and Coffee – An Objectivist Meetup)Because freedom is worth thinking about — and talking about.Follow Life on Purpose — Xenia's thought-provoking essays on Substack:https://substack.com/@xeniaioannou?utm_source=user-menuHashtags#TheRationalEgoist #MichaelLiebowitz #JamesValliant #PhilosophyPodcast #IndividualRights #RuleOfLaw #LibertarianDebate #ClassicalLiberalism #Reason #MoralClarity

PREVIEW — Elizabeth Peek — The Economic Conundrum: Strong Spending, Low Confidence. Peek analyzes the apparent economic contradiction wherein strong GDP growth and robust retail spending metrics coexist with persistently low consumer confidence and widespread economic pessimism. Peek attributes this paradoxical dynamic to acute affordability crises affecting substantial population cohorts and a deteriorating labor market characterized by declining hiring, wage stagnation relative to inflation, and employment insecurity. Peek characterizes this bifurcated economic experience as a "K-shaped economy," wherein stock market gains and asset appreciation benefit relatively privileged populations, while widespread financial anxiety, housing unaffordability, and discretionary spending constraints generate diffuse economic distress among middle and working-class populations. 1890 HARLEM HEIGHTS

Lauren Bastide est journaliste, autrice et militante féministe et évidemment podcasteuse.Elle vient de publier Enfin seule, un livre intime et politique qui m'a permis de remettre en question mes propres biais intégrés et mes croyances.C'est une conversation que je voulais absolument avoir avec elle depuis longtemps, car nous nous connaissons depuis des années et j'admire énormément son parcours, son intelligence, et la justesse de ses engagements.Dans cet épisode, nous parlons de solitude féminine, mais surtout de ce que cela signifie de choisir d'être seule loin des injonctions sociales au couple, à la maternité, à la conformité. J'ai voulu comprendre pourquoi tant de femmes ressentent un manque ou une honte à ne pas avoir "coché toutes les cases", alors qu'elles mènent des vies passionnantes. Lauren apporte une réponse puissante : ce n'est pas un vide intérieur, mais une pression extérieure.J'ai questionné Lauren sur la différence entre être seule, vivre seul et se sentir seul, et sur la manière dont le patriarcat a historiquement maintenu les femmes sous surveillance. Nous avons évoqué des figures oubliées comme Gabrielle Suchon, les dangers d'un retour à un ordre moral réactionnaire – notamment aux États-Unis – mais aussi le rôle de la maison, du corps, de la charge mentale et du soin dans la conquête de soi.C'est un épisode dense, engagé et profondément humain, où il est aussi question de sororité, de féminisme, de poétique du quotidien et de droit à l'ennui.5 citations marquantes« Le célibat, ce n'est pas une position de moins 1. C'est la position zéro. »« Une femme seule, c'est encore vu comme une anomalie sociale. »« Vivre seule par choix, c'est un geste politique. »« On ne peut pas être libre si on reste sous surveillance. »« La maison peut être une prison ou une cabane, c'est ce que l'on en fait. »10 questions posées Quelle est ta relation à l'amitié entre hommes et femmes ?À qui s'adresse ton livre Enfin seule ?Que réponds-tu aux femmes qui souffrent du célibat ?Pourquoi la solitude est-elle un enjeu politique ?Quelle est la différence entre vivre seul, être seul et se sentir seul ?Comment perçois-tu le recul des droits des femmes aux États-Unis ?Peux-tu nous parler de Gabrielle Suchon ?Que signifie pour toi la maison, la cabane ?Comment vis-tu tes propres contradictions ?C'est quoi le message central que tu veux faire passer aux femmes ?Timestamps clés 00:00 – Introduction par Gregory : pression sociale autour du couple02:00 – Début de la conversation avec Lauren03:50 – Sur l'amitié et les relations non capitalisables05:30 – À qui s'adresse Enfin seule10:00 – Solitude choisie vs isolement14:00 – Injonctions sociales au couple19:30 – Le célibat féminin comme stigmate22:00 – Surveillance des femmes et contrôle social31:00 – Recul des droits aux États-Unis et tradwives37:00 – Droit au repos et « linger » selon Bell Hooks41:00 – La maison : entre oppression et émancipation47:00 – Contradictions personnelles et rôle du soin52:00 – Le mythe de la joggeuse et le vrai danger56:00 – Trouver une voix intérieure Suggestion d'autres épisodes à écouter : #192 Feminisme washing: On claque la porte?

Contradictions in the Bible? Watch These Myths Collapse in Minutes Are there contradictions in the Bible? Critics confidently claim “the Bible is full of errors,” and many Christians feel anxious when challenged. But tonight, we're taking those challenges head-on — and showing why most so-called contradictions collapse the moment you understand context, language, and logic.

In this episode, we take a brutally honest look at the now-viral TikTok posted by the biological mother of 18-year-old Anna Kepner — the teen found dead and concealed under a bed aboard the Carnival Horizon cruise ship. What should have been a grieving mother's message somehow turned into a thirteen-minute monologue about everything but Anna. Excuses. Grievances. Old resentments. Contradictions. Life stories. Dental detours. Accusations. Chaos. And almost nothing about the daughter she lost. Tonight, I break it down section by section — with timestamps — stopping at the points where the emotional wheels fly off and the video reveals far more about the environment Anna came from than the mother ever intended. This isn't mockery. This isn't cruelty. This is context — because the instability, bitterness, and self-centered chaos on full display here help explain so much about the world Anna grew up in. Meanwhile, investigators are focused on real evidence:  • a body concealed under a bed  • keycard logs  • cabin access patterns  • surveillance footage  • a 16-year-old stepsibling publicly named as a suspect  • a stepmother pleading the Fifth  • and a family structure collapsing in real time This TikTok doesn't give answers — but it gives a devastating look at the dysfunction that shaped this case from day one. Watch as we break down the video, analyze each section, and look at what this emotional unraveling tells us about the broader investigation into Anna's death. If you want the unfiltered truth behind the headlines — and the family chaos investigators are up against — this is the episode you need to hear.

On Mother’s Day 2020, Susan Morphew vanished from her Colorado home, leaving behind a community full of questions and loved ones searching for answers. In this episode of Zone 7, Sheryl McCollum sits down with retired NYPD Sergeant and cold case expert Joe Giacalone to revisit the investigation, the early red flags, and the clues that continue to raise quesions, from the discovery of Susan’s bicycle to the inconsistencies that complicated the case. Highlights: • (0:00) Sheryl opens with the timeline of Susan Morphew’s disappearance and introduces guest Joe Giacalone • (1:30) The early facts of the case and first warning signs: missing bicycle, disabled surveillance cameras, and a Mother’s Day that went unnoticed • (2:00) The 911 call from a neighbor and Barry Morphew's arrival at the scene • (5:45) Inconsistencies in Barry's statements and the odor of chlorine in his hotel room • (9:30) Digital breadcrumbs: truck data, phone records, and deleted text messages • (10:30) The tranquilizer dart, the “chipmunk” story, and the forensic evidence found in the Morphew’s dryer • (16:45) The recovery of Susan's remains and what investigators believe it reveals• (19:00) Barry's behavior raises more questions: his calm demeanor, the sale of Susan's truck, and the discovery of the spy pen that exposed her affair • (26:00) How public pressure, social media, and speculation can influence a case • (28:00) Joe closes with a Mark Twain quote that captures what Barry Morphew failed to grasp: “It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.” Guest Bio: Joe Giacalone is a retired NYPD Sergeant and former Commanding Officer of the Bronx Cold Case Squad.

"Love Rollercoaster" To say the Ohio Players are one of the greatest funk bands of all time kind of falls short of the mark. The Ohio Players are, quite simply, one of the greatest bands of all time. The Dayton R&B outfit got their start in 1959 as the Ohio Untouchables and their leader Robert Ward was like a funk version of Jim Morrison--brilliant but unpredictable, Ward would walk offstage mid-gig and never come back. He was punk long before there was punk and he was a wild card for sure, but charisma can carry you pretty far in art. But, to be fair, it can't always carry you over the line and the Untouchables started swapping out personnel, Ward included, and they rebranded in the late '60s as the Ohio Players. A false start found them skidding to a halt in 1970, but then, things started to gel. A furious blend of funk and soul, The Ohio Players started racking up hits like Love Rollercoaster, Fire and Who'd She Coo? Albums like Skin Tight, Honey and Contradiction remain indisputable classics and the band is still at it, currently in the studio cooking something up. As for James Diamond Williams, he joined the band around '74 and he quickly asserted himself as one of the very best behind the kit. A muscular player with swagger and swing, Williams is one of those guys who makes it look easy--and if someone is great enough to make something difficult look easy, you can be assured it isn't. www.theofficialohioplayers.com www.bombshellradio.com www.stereoembersmagazine.com www.alexgreenbooks.com Stereo Embers: IG + BLUESKY: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

If I told you just five words, it is a spy film, your mind would go to either action packed or maybe campy. Would you really think about a psychological thriller? And if I told you the film won a prestigious French award for best first film, how does it sound when the director says he made a foreign film? Contradictions abound with my guest Jonathan Millet's film, GHOST TRAIL (2024). One thing it is in any description is a cinematic gem. Currently streaming on Mubi, it expands the genre in ways you won't see coming. And the absolute best part? The director is even more interesting than the film.In this episode, Jonathan and I talk about:what it was like winning the Louis Delluc Prize for Best First Film in 2024;his traveling to 50 countries and how he learned he was good at filmmaking;what he noticed about cinema in each country and French cinema-going;how GHOST TRAIL came about and why it was originally envisioned as a documentary;what he wants people to know before watching the film;why he never showed torture in the film and how he created a film with such depth;how he created a playable video game to be incorporated into the film (!);the crazy distribution process and whether it came up whether he needed to add action to the film;how he found such a capable actor in Adam Bessa, who had to plausibly be a spy, English professor, and torture victim in the film;his research process for making a spy film;France's reaction to the film;is France a great place for filmmaking?how important it was for him that GHOST TRAIL is viewed as a foreign film;what's next for him;how he feels about the pace of making new films.Memorable Quotes:"All the masters, the big directors I loved at this time as a classical, for example, they all arrived in cinema with another background. They all study something else and they bring it to cinemas.""And they were looking for remote countries in war countries with trouble. And I was looking for it as well. So it was my screwup cinema actually.""What I really love is to consider a film as an experience.""The best co-writer for the film was reality.""My producer said it would be cheaper to do that than buy Call of Duty rights.""The editor of GHOST TRAIL is also the editor of ANATOMY OF A FALL (2023). And he's a great editor and he say I need time. It's not about being slow, it's just that if I have 10 weeks to edit a movie, I could do it, but if I have 20 weeks, I could try things and maybe some incredible outstanding idea will appear. Jonathan's Indie Film Highlights: LA LIBERTAD (2001) dir. by Lisandro AlonsoLinks:Watch GHOST TRAIL (2024) on MUBISupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/first-time-go/exclusive-content

Ryan - Kansas City, MO (4:15)What happens to unborn children with respect to election and reprobation? Jeff - St. Louis, MO (15:12)Why didn't God give Satan a chance to repent? Ted - Atlanta, GA (17:45)Did Saul commit suicide, or did the Amalekite kill Saul? Ted - Atlanta, GA (19:18)If God is omniscient, why did he create Satan and permit the temptation that led to humanity's fall? Russell - Bellflower, CA (20:09)Can you elaborate on the garments of skin that God made for Adam and Eve, and on the seed of the woman opposed to the serpent? David - Dayton, OH (23:44)

Inner Peace vs Retail Rage - How do shops design our experience to remove our decisions and make us to FOMO into all sorts of weird situations? This episode peels back the slick banners and countdown timers to show the tiny psychological tricks that turn shoppers into hunters. Scarcity, anchoring, and anticipation aren't marketing buzzwords — they're brain hacks. Retailers riff off ancient instincts: spot a rare fruit, grab it. Online, those instincts run on caffeine and fast clicks. The result? We chase status, reassurance, and an imagined better life via objects. Three actionable takeaways: Pause 24 hours before you buy to let impulse die. Flag “true needs” vs “story purchases” in a list. Reframe purchases as stories you'll tell later. SPONSORS

PF Jung is a YouTube content creator renowned for making the meme of "Enlightened Centrism" great again. He's a self-styled "memetic feudal lord" and "applied sociologist" who has gotten himself in trouble for his attempts to bridge the polarities in society and seeking to bring the far right and far left together. He creates philosophical and political commentary content exploring nuanced positions that resist tribal categorisation, though this approach has led to significant challenges navigating the online political space.You can find Paul's work at:YouTube: youtube.com/@PFJungIn this conversation, I sit down with Paul to explore the crisis facing political nuance in online spaces. We discuss his co-opting of the Enlightened Centrism meme, why holding mixed political views has become increasingly difficult to sustain online, and the exhausting work of maintaining charitable interpretation when everyone wants the fight. Paul shares his experience growing a channel whilst managing contradictions, navigating the Peterson-adjacent space, and what it means to be at the "edge of the inside" of multiple political communities. We also explore why the online political warzone demands tribal allegiance and whether there's still room for complexity in an era of constant gotchas and worst-case interpretations.⏳ Timestamps00:00 James's Intro01:15 What is Enlightened Centrism?

Vous aimez notre peau de caste ? Soutenez-nous ! https://www.lenouvelespritpublic.fr/abonnementUne émission de Philippe Meyer, enregistrée au studio l'Arrière-boutique le 14 novembre 2025.Avec cette semaine :Nicolas Baverez, essayiste et avocat.Antoine Foucher, consultant, spécialiste des questions sociales, auteur de Sortir du travail qui ne paie plus.Béatrice Giblin, directrice de la revue Hérodote et fondatrice de l'Institut Français de Géopolitique.Richard Werly, correspondant à Paris du quotidien helvétique en ligne Blick.CONSOMMATEUR OU CITOYEN : LES CONTRADICTIONS FRANÇAISESDominant dans le commerce en ligne, Shein, le géant chinois de la mode jetable, s'est installé le 5 novembre pour la première fois en boutique, au BHV parisien puis progressivement dans des Galeries Lafayette franchisées à Dijon, Reims, Grenoble, Angers et Limoges. Une arrivée qui provoque un tollé dans le secteur. Spécialiste de la mode éphémère – une production caractérisée par le renouvellement ultra-rapide des collections à des prix cassés dépourvus de normes sociales et environnementales –, le géant chinois a été condamnée à 40 millions d'euros d'amendes par la Direction générale de la répression des fraudes pour « pratiques commerciales trompeuses », puis à 150 millions d'euros par la Commission nationale de l'informatique et des libertés pour « non-respect du consentement des internautes » dans la collecte de leurs données. Adoptée par l'Assemblée nationale puis amendée par le Sénat en juin 2025, la proposition de loi visant à « démoder la mode éphémère grâce à un système de bonus-malus » revient au cœur des débats.Le chiffre d'affaires de Shein en France (son deuxième marché dans le monde après les États-Unis) était de plus de 1,5 milliard d'euros en 2024. Cette année-là, l'Institut français de la mode a estimé que 35 % des Français ont acheté au moins un produit sur la plateforme Shein, qui compte plus de 12 millions d'utilisateurs par mois. Ces derniers savent pertinemment ce qui est reproché à l'entreprise, ses pratiques contestées et l'impact que son essor à sur le prêt-à-porter français. N'importe. Le caractère compulsif de l'achat est plus fort. Dans un pays pourtant obsédé par la reconquête de sa « souveraineté », qui tient la mondialisation en horreur, le consommateur agit souvent à rebours des convictions du citoyen.Ainsi, si selon un sondage Ipsos BVA, les Français placent sans surprise le prix en tête des critères guidant leurs achats (62 %), devant la qualité (58 %) et la durabilité (32 %) des vêtements, toutefois, 49 % des sondés expriment une « mauvaise opinion » à l'égard de la qualité des produits. Et 52 % désapprouvent l'installation d'une boutique Shein au BHV. Une nette majorité approuverait des mesures « pour freiner le développement des géants chinois de l'habillement en France et en Europe ». En Dr Jekyll et Mr Hyde, nous exigeons du gouvernement ou de l'Union européenne qu'ils régulent les opérateurs dont les pratiques mettent à mal notre économie, nos emplois et la planète, quand nous achetons leurs produits et leurs services. Et ce n'est pas vrai que dans le secteur de la mode ou du textile… Philippe Moati, cofondateur de l'Observatoire société et consommation prévient : « En cas de désaccord entre le citoyen et le consommateur, c'est le consommateur qui gagne quand l'offre est très attractive.COP 30L'objectif de limiter le réchauffement climatique à 1,5°C par rapport à l'ère préindustrielle, figurant dans l'Accord de Paris il y a 10 ans, est « sur le point de s'effondrer », a averti fin septembre le secrétaire général de l'ONU Antonio Guterres. Du 10 au 21 novembre, la COP 30 est réunie à Belém, au Brésil aux portes de l'Amazonie. Le président brésilien Lula entend faire des forêts l'un de ses sujets principaux de cette conférence. Il souhaite y formaliser un fonds d'un nouveau genre, une « Facilité de financement des forêts tropicales » visant 125 milliards de dollars de collecte, placés sur les marchés financiers. Les bénéfices rémunéreront des pays à forte couverture forestière et à faible déforestation pour leurs efforts de conservation. Cinq autres États disposant de forêts tropicales ont rejoint le projet (Colombie, Ghana, République démocratique du Congo, Indonésie et Malaisie). Par ailleurs, cinq pays développés qui pourraient investir à l'avenir travaillent à organiser l'initiative (Allemagne, Émirats arabes unis, France, Norvège et Royaume-Uni).Depuis 2015, chaque pays doit soumettre tous les cinq ans une feuille de route climatique détaillant sa stratégie de réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre, afin de mesurer leurs efforts pour atteindre les objectifs de l'Accord de Paris. Mais alors que ces « contributions déterminées au niveau national » devaient être rendues avant la fin du mois de septembre, dans un contexte géopolitique tourmenté, où les guerres, les conflits commerciaux et la pression du président américain climatosceptique qui s'est retiré de l'Accord de Paris ont relégué le climat au second plan. Ainsi, la majorité des pays n'avaient pas rendu leur copie à la veille de la conférence, tandis que les États-Unis n'enverront pas de représentants de haut niveau à Belém.En 2019, la Commission européenne lançait le pacte vert pour l'Europe, avec un objectif ambitieux : faire de l'Europe le premier continent climatiquement neutre d'ici à 2050. Mais sous la pression de lobbies agricoles et depuis le virage à droite et à l'extrême droite du Parlement après les élections de 2024, la copie initiale est peu à peu revue à la baisse : abandon de la loi sur les pesticides, assouplissement de la politique agricole commune, remise en question de l'interdiction des voitures thermiques d'ici à 2035, de la finance durable et de la responsabilité des entreprises… En France, après avoir clamé « Make our planet great again (« Rendez sa grandeur à la planète »), Emmanuel Macron se montre moins écologiste au fil de ses deux mandats. Son gouvernement n'a pas tenu sa promesse de sortie du glyphosate en trois ans, a édulcoré la loi zéro artificialisation nette et délivre encore des permis d'hydrocarbures. Il entend compenser son peu d'allant dans le développement des énergies renouvelables par la relance du nucléaire. Cependant, selon un sondage Ipsos, 89% des Français disent leur inquiétude face à l'aggravation de la crise climatique.Chaque semaine, Philippe Meyer anime une conversation d'analyse politique, argumentée et courtoise, sur des thèmes nationaux et internationaux liés à l'actualité.

How should we grapple with the legacies of complex historical figures? Join Sphere Education Initiatives and Civic Spirit for this unique virtual professional learning opportunity. The webinar will take a deep dive into building civil discourse around the Founders, who embody both profound achievements and troubling flaws. We'll explore the challenges of avoiding oversimplification, whether by elevating figures to untouchable pedestals or by dismissing them as wholly illegitimate.In discussion, we'll consider the role of historical context in shaping our understanding: Does it help us balance empathy with accountability, or does it risk excusing harmful actions under the guise of “different times”? We'll discuss strategies for teaching students to recognize human fallibility in ways that develop their critical thinking and compassion while still holding fast to their values.The event will connect these questions to the present day, sharing resources and strategies to help educators engage their students. We'll demonstrate how to establish an open discourse with students to explore how they perceive and judge contemporary leaders, debates around monuments and institutions, as well as other social, political, and economic challenges. All this will be done with an eye toward helping students search for a meaningful line between human imperfection and actions that demand condemnation.The conversation will equip educators with tools to navigate the complexities of history and its enduring influence on our culture, values, and public memory.

Documentary legend Ken Burns explains why we're still debugging an experiment from 1776.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1238What We Discuss with Ken Burns:America's origin was born from division, not unity. Ken Burns argues the US was born from violence and division, not unity. The Revolutionary War was a brutal civil war with brother fighting brother, not a clean myth of freedom and fireworks.The Revolution is an ongoing experiment. Ken sees the Revolution as the start of a political experiment still being debugged 250 years later. It's not a finished story but a continuous process of living up to founding ideals.Contradictions compose the country's core. The Revolution's hypocrisy is staggering: freedom built on slavery, liberty denied to women and Native peoples, idealism mixed with self-interest. These contradictions remain eerily familiar today.Good storytelling transcends politics. Ken found that compelling narratives neutralize binary thinking. His Vietnam documentary avoided expected backlash because a good story makes people say "I didn't know that" rather than taking sides.History is an active conversation. History isn't fixed answers, but an ongoing dialogue with the past. By listening closely, we can ask ourselves if we're living up to the promises made — and continue writing that unfinished story.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!
