After the death of Jeffrey Epstein in August 2019 inside the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in Manhattan, the facility quickly became the focus of intense scrutiny. Investigations by the Department of Justice and the Office of Inspector General uncovered a series of severe operational failures inside the jail, including chronic understaffing, guards working excessive overtime, broken security cameras, and lapses in required inmate monitoring procedures. Epstein had been placed on suicide watch earlier in his detention, but the restrictions were lifted shortly before his death, and the required checks that were supposed to occur every thirty minutes were not carried out as documented. The revelations exposed deep systemic problems at MCC, a facility that had long been criticized for deteriorating conditions, poor staffing levels, and management failures.In the years that followed, the Bureau of Prisons ultimately decided to permanently close the Metropolitan Correctional Center. The aging jail, which had been plagued by infrastructure problems and operational breakdowns for years, was deemed no longer suitable to house federal detainees. The fallout from the Epstein case also extended to the leadership of the facility. The warden who had been overseeing MCC at the time quietly stepped away from the position and later retired from the Bureau of Prisons, with little public explanation. The combination of Epstein's death, the cascade of investigative findings, and the exposure of long-standing dysfunction inside the jail accelerated the decision to shutter MCC entirely, marking the end of a facility that had once housed some of the most high-profile federal detainees in the country.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Malicious streetlights are an evil trick from Dark Data Journalism. Some annoying enemy has a valid complaint. So you use FACTS and LOGIC to prove that something similar-sounding-but-slightly-different is definitely false. Then you act like you've debunked the complaint. My "favorite" example, spotted during the 2016 election, was a response to some #BuildTheWall types saying that illegal immigration through the southern border was near record highs. Some data journalist got good statistics and proved that the number of Mexicans illegally entering the country was actually quite low. When I looked into it further, I found that this was true - illegal immigration had shifted from Mexicans to Hondurans/Guatemalans/Salvadoreans etc entering through Mexico. If you counted those, illegal immigration through the southern border was near record highs. But the inverse evil trick is saying something "directionally correct", ie slightly stronger than the truth can support. If your enemy committed assault, say he committed murder. If he committed sexual harassment, say he committed rape. If your drug increases cancer survival by 5% in rats, say that it "cures cancer". Then, if someone calls you on it, accuse them of "literally well ackshually-ing" you, because you were "directionally correct" and it's offensive to the victims to try to defend assault-committed sexual harassers. This is the sort of pathetic defense I called out in If It's Worth Your Time To Lie, It's Worth My Time To Correct It. But trying to call out one of these failure modes looks like falling into the other. I ran into this on my series of posts on crime last week. I wrote these because I regularly saw people make the arguments I tried to debunk. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/malicious-streetlight-effects-vs

Donald Trump has trained his acolytes in politics and media to echo his reassuring buzz phrases about weathering the short term effects of his war on Iran on the energy markets and global economy, but catchy slogans aren't changing the facts of the situation in the Strait of Hormuz and the sudden energy crisis that everyone in the world can see happening in front of their own eyes. James Talarico is already running against one of two very flawed Republican opponents to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate, in a race that could determine control of the Senate. But Donald Trump's steadily sinking popularity and politically disastrous policies from his anti-immigrant cruelty to his senseless war on Iran and the economic fallout that Americans are already feeling, have given voters even more reason to consider making this the election that turns Texas blue. Talarico talks with Jen Psaki about the unnecessary challenges Americans are dealing with as a result of Donald Trump's mismanagement of the White House. After two attacks in one day that appear to be related to Donald Trump's war on Iran, former CIA director John Brennan talks with Jen Psaki about the domestic national security threats that come with picking a fight with Iran. And with Donald Trump pushing for the passage of an election bill, House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries talks with Jen about Democratic plans to push back on Trump's effort to manipulate elections, as well as his war on Iran.

This week's Frankly marks the second installment of Nate's recurring series, Uncomfortable Questions in Unsettled Times, where he poses questions about our shared future. While the first edition posed broad questions about civilizational trajectory, today's episode is prompted by the Iran situation and what happens when geopolitics stops feeling distant and starts arriving as supply chain disruptions, rising prices, fear, and renewed stories about enemies and allies. Nate walks through five questions that move from the practical to the interior. He begins with the gap between what is essential and what is merely familiar in modern life, asking listeners to identify what they depend on before scarcity makes the choice for them. From there, Nate turns inward to examine what the act of assigning blame actually does to our nervous systems and our capacity for response, and poses a larger geopolitical question about whether the collapse of U.S. global power would be net positive or net negative for the world. He then asks listeners to imagine their own town or community in 2050, and what actions they might take now with a few people around them. The episode closes with a reflection on fear as a force that narrows perception and collapses the potential for action, drawing on Frank Herbert's Dune and Nate's own honest response to watching a scenario he had long gamed out begin to move closer to reality. What fears about the future are quietly limiting your ability to act today, and which are actually helping you prepare? Is assigning blame increasing your capacity for meaningful action, or mostly giving shape to your distress? And if your future is going to become more local than you expect, what could you begin to do now with a few people in order to move toward the better end of the distribution?

BUFFALO, NY — March 13, 2026 — A new #research paper was #published in Volume 18 of Aging-US on March 2, 2026, titled “D, L-Buthionine-(S, R)-sulfoximine recapitulates the anti-obesity effects of sulfur amino acid restriction without the associated deleterious effects on bone in male mice.” Led by Naidu B. Ommi from the Orentreich Foundation for the Advancement of Science — with corresponding author Sailendra N. Nichenametla from the same institution — the study tests whether the glutathione (GSH)-lowering compound D, L-buthionine-(S, R)-sulfoximine (BSO) reproduces the anti-obesity effects of sulfur amino acid restriction (SAAR) without causing the bone loss seen with SAAR diets. Using diet-induced obese male C57BL6/NTac mice fed high-fat diets, the authors compared: a control methionine-replete diet, a SAAR diet (low methionine, no cysteine), SAAR plus the GSH precursor N-acetylcysteine (NAC), and control diet plus BSO in drinking water. Using body-composition, micro-CT, histomorphometry, and biomechanical testing, the team confirmed prior work that SAAR reduces body fat but also lowers trabecular and cortical bone mineral density, increases marrow adiposity, reduces osteoblast numbers, and weakens bone biomechanical strength. Crucially, while NAC supplementation reversed the bone defects of SAAR (implicating cysteine/glutathione restriction in bone loss), BSO reproduced the lean, anti-obesity phenotype without producing the deleterious bone effects observed in SAAR mice. In short, BSO recapitulated the anti-obesity benefits of SAAR without causing the same bone loss — a finding with potential relevance to developing anti-obesity strategies that avoid skeletal harm. “Despite its anti-obesity effects, BSO did not exert any detrimental effects on bones.” The authors emphasize next steps and caveats. They call for mechanistic studies to define how GSH lowering drives fat loss yet spares bone under BSO treatment, investigations of age-at-onset, tissue-specific, and sex-specific effects, and long-term safety studies to assess off-target or delayed adverse effects of BSO before any clinical development. The paper frames BSO as a promising tool compound to dissect the beneficial versus deleterious axes of sulfur amino acid biology, but not yet as a human therapy without further preclinical evaluation.

For 70 years, a simple idea has shaped efforts to reduce prejudice: put people from different groups together under the right conditions, and contact reduces prejudice. Gordon Allport proposed it in 1954. A landmark 2006 meta-analysis of 515 studies seemed to confirm it, reporting an average effect of 0.4 standard deviations on prejudice measures. That paper has been cited more than 14,000 times. The credibility revolution has undermined this evidence, by correcting for publication bias that meant null results were seldom published. Matt Lowe of the Vancouver School of Economics has published a new review of 41 pre-registered studies, and he finds the average effect is one-tenth of a standard deviation. Those 41 pre-registered intergroup contact experiments cover nearly 40,000 participants across a wide range of countries, roughly half of them in the Global South. He tells Tim Phillips that the effects are real, consistently positive … but consistently small. Contact interventions are a waste of time. Costs can be low, and the alternatives have not yet been held to the same rigorous standard. But the gap between what the old literature promised and what careful experiments deliver is large enough to matter for anyone designing programmes to reduce prejudice between groups.The research behind this episode:Lowe, Matt. 2025.

290: I'm revisiting my conversation with Dr. Peter McCullough, a cardiologist and founder of the McCullough Foundation, to discuss the research surrounding spike proteins from COVID and mRNA vaccines. We dive into how spike proteins may affect the body, including potential links to blood clots, heart health, and fertility concerns. Dr. McCullough also shares detox strategies that some people - including my husband Hector - have used after vaccination. This is an important discussion about understanding science, asking questions, and helping educate friends and family during a very divisive time.  → The Wellness Company | Visit https://www.twc.health/ and use code REALFOODOLOGY for 10% off all orders plus free shipping on all orders.  Topics Discussed: → What are spike proteins? → Can spike proteins cause blood clots and heart damage? → Is there a safe way to detox spike proteins after the COVID vaccine? → What does the research say about COVID vaccines and fertility? → How can you talk to friends and family about COVID vaccine risks?

Save 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKIPEDIA at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comThis week on the podcast, Mikki speaks to Dr. Eric Ravussin, one of the world's leading researchers in human metabolism, obesity, and energy balance. Over several decades, Dr. Ravussin's work has helped reshape how scientists think about body weight regulation, moving the conversation beyond the simplistic idea of “calories in versus calories out” to a deeper understanding of the biology that governs appetite, energy expenditure, and fat storage.In this conversation, Mikki and Eric explore the brain's role in regulating body weight, the influence of genetics and environment, and what his landmark research — including work with the Pima population and the CALERIE trial — has revealed about metabolic adaptation, calorie restriction, and longevity. They also discuss spontaneous physical activity, the concept of a body-weight “settling point,” and the emerging role of GLP-1 medications in obesity treatment. It's a fascinating look at the physiology of weight regulation and why maintaining weight loss is often far more complex than most people realise.About Dr. Eric RavussinDr. Eric Ravussin is an internationally recognised researcher in metabolism, obesity, and energy balance. He is Associate Executive Director for Clinical Science at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center at Louisiana State University, one of the world's leading institutions for metabolic research.For more than three decades, Dr. Ravussin's work has focused on understanding the biological drivers of obesity and weight regulation, including energy expenditure, metabolic adaptation, appetite regulation, and the role of genetics in body weight. His research with the Pima population helped illuminate the powerful interaction between genetics and environment in the development of obesity.Dr. Ravussin has also been a principal investigator in the landmark CALERIE (Comprehensive Assessment of Long-term Effects of Reducing Intake of Energy) trial, the first long-term randomised controlled trial examining the physiological effects of sustained calorie restriction in humans, including its potential implications for metabolic health and longevity.He has authored hundreds of scientific publications and remains a leading voice in research exploring how biology, behaviour, and environment interact to shape body weight and metabolic health.Prof Ravussin's faculty profile:https://www.pbrc.edu/research-and-faculty/faculty/Ravussin-Eric-PhD.aspx  Curranz Supplement: Use code MIKKIPEDIA to get 20% off your first order - go to www.curranz.co.nz  or www.curranz.co.uk to order yours NZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at www.calocurb.co.nzContact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden

What if reflux isn't caused by too much stomach acid—but not enough?

Send a textThe glow-up isn't just better lighting—it's a reckoning with the culture that raised us. We're taking a clear-eyed look at the new America's Next Top Model documentary and using it as a lens on the 90s and 2000s media diet that shaped how we see beauty, worth, and ourselves. If TV was our classroom, what exactly did we learn, and how do we unlearn what hurts?We trace the pipeline from teen dramas to reality TV and glossy magazines, where one narrow body type became the template and even hair color mapped to “good girl” and “bad girl.” We share a near-model path that hit a hard height limit, the thrill of backstage fashion week, and the shock of rewatching on-air judgments that treated women's bodies like public property. There's nuance, too: intent to diversify the runway met the reality of producers, ratings, and the economics of spectacle. Some voices own the harm; others stay guarded. We hold space for both progress and pain.From there, we get practical. We talk about retraining negative self-talk, swapping shame for behavior-focused health, and building media literacy that asks who benefits from each storyline. As parents, we admit it's easier to police curfews than algorithms, then share ways to curate kinder feeds, celebrate what bodies do, and catch those “old TV voice” thoughts before they stick. The runway looks wider today, and that didn't happen by accident—it grew because people demanded better stories.If nostalgia brought you here, reflection will keep you. Join us as we rethink what we were sold, honor what we've survived, and practice a kinder way forward.

Tahra Zafar is a costume and creature effects designer. She designed the Paddington Bear puppet featured in the hit West End production Paddington: The Musical.Born into a theatre family, she grew up with an Armenian American father who worked as a choreographer in the first West End production of West Side Story, and a mother who moved from a career as a ballerina to theatre work around the world. Her interest in making began early, helping her father with practical projects such as restoring their house, even learning to build walls and spending her spare time model making, with Airfix creations suspended from her bedroom ceiling.After studying theatre design at Central Saint Martins, she began her career making theatre costumes. She spent some time at the Jim Henson creature workshop where she made some of the creatures for the first Harry Potter film including Hedwig the owl and Scabbers the rat.After her daughter was born, Tahra worked on some of the characters for In the Night Garden with her daughter, a willing judge of what worked for toddlers. In 2012, Tahra was in charge of 23,000 costumes for the London 2012 Olympic opening and closing ceremonies. This role included an audience with the late Queen to ensure the wig and dress were correct for Her Majesty's stunt double when that iconic skydive was performed at the Olympic opening ceremony. Tahra lives in London with her daughter.DISC ONE: Thunderbirds (Main Theme) - The Barry Gray Orchestra DISC TWO: Gee, Officer Krupke.

[00:00] Welcome — Icy Liu @icy_liu_ Opening remarks and a reading from Robin Wall Kimmerer's Braiding Sweetgrass [00:02] Introduction — Paul Wasserman @paulbwasserman How a group of obsessive farmers accidentally created a conference [00:04] Panel 1: “Foundations of Vineyard Health and Effects on Wine Quality” with Cyril Courvoisier (Cornas, France) and Thomas Bouley (Volnay, France) Moderated by Paul Wasserman & Icy Liu Thomas Bouley @thomasbouley1 — Thomas is a fourth-generation vigneron who took over in 2002 and completely transformed his approach to soil health. Thomas shares his early misconception that poor soils make great grapes, what changed his mind, and why he distinguishes between vigor and vitality. Topics include grinding versus burning pruning canes, late hedging, and 23 years of patient observation. [00:11] Cyril Courvoisier @domainecyrilcourvoisier — Cyril shares how planting on abandoned land with 70-year-old forest led him to discover the power of wood chips and straw mulching, and how that completely changed his approach to soil biology, mycorrhizae, and more.  [00:17] Panel 2: “Let Vines Vine: Cover Crops, Balance And Adaptation In A Variable Climate” with Dr. Dylan Grigg @gdylla (Barossa Valley, Australia) Moderated by Paul Knittel @paul.knittel and Icy Liu Dr. Dylan Grigg @gdylla — Dylan is a viticulture consultant and grower with over 25 years of experience across Australia and Spain. He breaks down the three types of cover crops (green manure, permanent regenerating, and specialist), carbon to nitrogen ratios, seeding methods, species complexity, and why a beautiful cover crop can quietly be stealing from your vines. Key topics covered: Green manure vs. permanent regenerating vs. specialist cover crops Pioneer species and degraded soils Carbon to nitrogen ratios and the 60/40 cereal to legume blend Seeding depth, broadcasting vs. direct drilling Why complexity brings resilience — but also why only a few species tend to dominate Six years of building a seed bank from 0.5% organic matter up [00:26] Panel 3: “Vine Health & Nutrition and Effects on Wine Quality” with Tomoko Kuriyama-Bott (Chanterêves, Savigny-lès-Beaune, France) and Philine Isabelle Dienger (Barolo, Italy) Moderated by Icy Liu Tomoko @chantereves & Philine @az._agr._philine_isabelle A fascinating and cutting-edge panel on what is actually happening inside the plant itself. Tomoko gives a crash course in redox chemistry and pH, explains the redox cross, and walks through how the Nutriscope scanner and Nova Cropp lab analysis work in practice. Topics include: Why pH alone is no longer enough — and why redox changes everything How plants spend up to 80% of photosynthesis energy maintaining EH/pH homeostasis The oxidative burst and what copper spraying really does to a vine Why iron and manganese are almost always deficient, and why foliar feeding works better than soil fertilizers The Fenton reaction and why bare soil is the worst outcome Fresh cow dung, sheep dung, and urine as reducing agents How to reach the humus threshold for no-till — and why Tomoko and Philine are going carefully at 25% no-till for now [00:46] Panel 4: Holistic Vineyard Management with Alice Anderson (Âmevive Winery, Santa Barbara, USA) Moderated by Christina Rasmussen @christinarasmussen_ @littlewine.io and Icy Liu Alice walks through the practical realities of holistic vineyard management and animal integration — the beauty, the heartbreak, and the biology behind it all. A genuinely joyful and honest conversation about working with animals to build living soils. Animals covered: Sheep — saliva enzymes, photosynthesis stimulation, timing grazing with understory growth Pigs — Kune kune breed as obligate grazers, year-round vineyard presence, electric fencing essentials Chickens — low commitment entry point, scratch behavior, mealybug control, when to take them out (bud swell and fruit set) Ducks — snail and slug hunters, nitrogen-rich poop, the Turkey roosting trick Cows — best used outside the vineyard for compost Goats — a caution Barn owls — 3,000 to 4,000 rodents per year per box Western bluebirds — 400,000 insects per year, effective against sharpshooters and Pierce's disease Bats — grapevine moth, budworm, 30% of body weight in insects per hour Thank you to @beckywasserman.co for sponsoring the conference. 

 ChatGPT has been in the news a lot lately and, as a result, quite a few STEM-Talk listeners have tossed us questions about the reliability and limitations of generative-artificial intelligence chatbots as well as large-language models more broadly.  Ken and Dawn tackle this question and a number of others in today's Ask Me Anything episode. We have listeners wondering why astronauts train in underwater conditions for spacewalks; icebreakers in antarctica; the value of supplementing with urolithin-A; and the effectiveness of L-citrulline in helping aging blood vessels. Ken also weights in on questions related to lithium deficiency and the onset of Alzheimer's disease; a study that found mTOR activation may not be necessary for ketamine's beneficial effects in the context of depression; and a paper that demonstrated short-term mTOR inhibition by rapamycin improved cardiac and endothelial function in older men. Show notes: [00:02:49] Ken opens our AMA with a listener question for Dawn, which asks why, despite the differences between diving and zero-gravity environments, why do astronauts train in underwater conditions for spacewalks. The listener goes on to mention an article they read about NASA's neutral buoyancy lab in Houston, which contains a partial replica of the International Space Station. [00:07:42] A listener asks Ken if he is still optimistic about the value of supplementing with urolithin-A, and if so, is there a brand he recommends. Ken mentions episodes 118, with Julie Anderson, and 173, with Anurag Singh. Ken also discusses a paper titled “Effect of the mitophagy inducer urolithin A on age related immune decline, a randomized placebo-controlled trial” co-authored by Anurag. Ken also mentions clinical research supporting the urolithin-A supplement Mitopure. [00:10:53] A listener asks Ken about a paper titled “Short-term mTOR inhibition by rapamycin improves cardiac and endothelial function in older men: a proof-of-concept pilot study.” [00:14:29] Ken discusses a 2020 paper from a research group at Yale, which suggested that mTOR activation may not be necessary for ketamine's beneficial effects in the context of depression. The paper also reported that m-TOR suppression via rapamycin might prolong ketamine's antidepressant effects. [00:18:47] A research scientist formerly working in Antarctica asks Ken about Russia's dominance in the realm of ice breakers. [00:23:55] A listener mentions that for some people, when they used ChatGPT to ask about the assassination of political commentator Charlie Kirk, ChatGPT sometimes responded by denying the assassination occurred. The listener asks Ken about the credibility and reliability of generative AI and large-language models. [00:28:49] Several listeners have submitted questions for Ken regarding a paper published in Nature in August of last year titled “Lithium deficiency in the onset of Alzheimer's disease.” Ken gives his thoughts on this paper. [00:31:56] For our final question this AMA, a listener asks Ken about the arginine paradox, which regards L-arginine, which is used by the body to make nitric oxide, which is necessary to relax and maintain flexibility of blood vessels. However, several papers have reported that supplementation of arginine does not reliably improve aging blood vessels. In contrast, recent research suggests that L-citrulline might be more effective. The listeners sent questions asking about the possible effects of citrulline in vascular health and aging. In his answer, Ken cites the following papers: — Administration of L-arginine plus L-citrulline or L-citrulline alone successfully retarded endothelial senescence. — Effects of L-Citrulline Supplementation on Endothelial Function, Arterial Stiffness, and Blood Glucose Level in the Fasted and Acute Hyperglycemic States in Middle-Aged and Older Adults with Type 2 Diabetes. — Citrulline Supplementation Improves Microvascular Function and Muscle Strength in Middle-Aged and Older Adults with Type 2 Diabetes. — Effects of L-citrulline supplementation and watermelon intake on arterial stiffness and endothelial function in middle-aged and older adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. — Citrulline regulates macrophage metabolism and inflammation to counter aging in mice.
