Jeff is back after a long absence, and he explains why: the bipartisan insanity in America left him too disgusted to record, even for the nation's 250th birthday. He remembers the 1976 bicentennial, when kids collected special quarters, flags flew everywhere, and Americans actually liked their country. Compare that to now. What changed? Muslim terror supporters are winning elections coast to coast: Mamdani's New York, where tax dollars fund Israel-bashing puppet shows for four-year-olds, and Michigan, where Abdul El-Sayed will cruise into the Senate after answering a synagogue terror attack with "hurt people, hurt people." Jew hate is now the one issue uniting the far left and the Nazi right — and it wins. And Jeff is officially done defending Trump. Iran "unconditionally surrendered"? They're still firing missiles, rebuilding nuclear sites, and executing protesters while Trump begs for a deal and dangles F-35s in front of Turkey's fanatical dictator Erdogan. Compromised by Qatari billions or just a moron — either way, America's last chance is gone. Next week: Jeff finally takes on the Lindsay Clancy case.

Jeff and Jim open with the unavoidable topic of AI agents and the tension between enabling innovation and governing agent permissions, then run through a packed fall conference schedule. The August mailbag pulls questions from Singapore, Toronto, Prague, Johannesburg, Helsinki, and Seoul. They discuss when externalized authorization makes sense, why passkey recovery can become the weak link in phishing-resistant authentication, what EU digital identity wallets may mean for enterprises, how continuous access evaluation changes the meaning of terminating access, and how to build resilience around a centralized identity provider without creating a second full-scale IdP.

The crew and captain of a ferry have been taken into custody after the vessel capsized off the northern coast of the Mediterranean island of Cyprus. Eight people have been confirmed dead with a further 17 still missing. Also on the programme: Spain asks for help from the EU to process hundreds of migrants who crossed into its North African territory of Ceuta; and the director of a new biopic about Charles de Gaulle tells us how the general's self-belief persuaded Winston Churchill that Free France could fight back against the Nazis. (Image: Survivors arrive on shore after being rescued from the sea following a boat capsize off northern Cyprus, August 30, 2026. Credit REUTERS/Stringer)

 China warns of "unprecedented" difficulties in rescues after the cross-border mudslide with Nepal. At least one person dies after a shooting at a rave party in Switzerland. Far-right commentator Milo Yiannopoulos is deported back to the UK. And Icelanders vote to stay out of the European Union. ⁠

Andy Burnham has pledged to keep hundreds more criminals behind bars as part of changes to the government's early release scheme. Anyone convicted of unlawful killing will now be excluded, including two men jailed for the manslaughter of PC Andrew Harper. But some prison governors fear jails could soon become full. In other news: at least eight people have died and 22 others are missing after a passenger ferry capsized and sank off northern Cyprus; and people in Iceland have voted against resuming talks on joining the European Union.

SUMMARY: Brian, Brandon, and Aaron focus on AI watermarking, driven largely by EU transparency requirements, and discuss how approaches like token-selection patterns can be detected but were reportedly cracked quickly with tools that strip watermarks. Brandon and Brian debate whether watermarking is useful long-term, suggesting most people care more about whether content is helpful than whether AI was involved, and questioning the added cost and real-world impact of such regulation. They also explore implications for education policies that ban AI use, changing assessment methods to curb cheating, and potential enterprise and government procurement issues where “no AI” requirements could trigger disputes and lawsuits, while AI review may also level the playing field in contract understanding.SHOW: 1058SHOW TRANSCRIPT: The Enterprise AI Show #1058 TranscriptSHOW VIDEO: https://youtu.be/6zlN_oIR5XcSHOW LINKS:Anthropic WatermarkingClaude Support on WatermarkingSHOW SPONSORS:Nasuni - Activate your data for AI and request a demoTopic: Anthropic recently started invisibly watermarking all Claude-generated text and files (Aug 11), joining Google (SynthID) and ~190 companies that signed the EU's AI Act Transparency Code. Article 50 became enforceable August 2, with fines up to €15M or 3% of global turnover for non-compliance. Within 24 hours of Anthropic's announcement, a free tool to strip Claude's watermark showed up on GitHub.Core question: Is watermarking building durable AI provenance infrastructure, or is it a regulatory checkbox that breaks the moment someone runs a paraphraser?Discussion angles:The cat-and-mouse problem: Watermarks degrade with editing/paraphrasing/translation by design; light edits survive, heavy rewrites don't. Is a signal that vanishes under normal use actually useful, or just plausible deniability for labs?Regulatory arbitrage: EU forces the mandate, but xAI hasn't signed the voluntary Code.

In this episode, Cory Connors sits down with Anna Perlina, a sustainable packaging and EU PPWR consultant with Integrity Solutions, to unpack why the EU's Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) is reshaping how companies — even those outside Europe — think about packaging strategy. Anna traces her path from leading global packaging procurement at a major FMCG company to founding her own consultancy, and explains how the PPWR has turned "sustainable packaging," once a vague and subjective goal, into a concrete, common playing field with a roadmap running through 2040. The two also preview this November's Sustainable Packaging Summit in Utrecht, where they both serve as ambassadors.Key Topics Discussed:Anna's journey from corporate packaging procurement to founding Integrity SolutionsWhy PPWR gives companies a concrete, common definition of "sustainable packaging" for the first timeThe business case for regulatory certainty: why clear rules unlock long-term investment in new materials and equipmentThe real-world testing and scale-up challenges of switching packaging formats (including a cautionary tale about pickle jars)Anna's role as an ambassador for the Sustainable Packaging Summit and her speaking history with Packaging Europe webinars and panelsReflections on last year's Sustainable Packaging Summit in Utrecht, including moderating the "paper vs. plastic" panelWhat's new for the 2026 Summit: three full days of programming, EU commissioner participation, and lessons learned from the PPWR's first milestone (August 12, 2026)Why non-EU companies should study the PPWR now, even if they don't sell into EuropePractical tips for attending the Summit, including train travel to UtrechtChapters: 00:16 Introduction to Sustainability and Consulting02:59 Understanding PPWR and Its Impact on Packaging05:37 Challenges in Sustainable Packaging Implementation10:06 The Role of the Sustainable Packaging Summit12:46 Insights from the Last Summit and Future Expectations15:23 Practical Tips for Companies on Sustainability18:07 Conclusion and Networking OpportunitiesResources Mentioned:Integrity Solutions — Anna Perlina's sustainable packaging and EU PPWR consultancyAnna Perlina on LinkedInSustainable Packaging Summit, Utrecht — November 10–12, 2026, at the Beatrix Theatre, JaarbeursEuropean Commission PPWR overview and guidanceContact:Listeners can connect with Anna Perlina on LinkedIn, where she regularly publishes free expert content and practical guidance on navigating the PPWR.Support our Sponsors Learn more here:- 3M- Specright- Forest https://anewearthproject.com/collections/new-earth-approvedConnect with CoryConnect with Cory on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cory-connors/I'm here to help you make your packaging more sustainable!

Send us Fan MailRobert States is Vice President of Technical Services at Cormica Medical Device & Pharmaceutical Testing, where he supports clients across medical device, pharmaceutical, and combination product testing. His work spans development strategy, risk management, testing strategy, process development, supply chain optimization, and regulatory-minded technical problem solving. Cormica's announcement of his appointment highlighted his role in strengthening global technical services across UK, US, and EU laboratories.  Before joining Cormica, Rob spent more than 20 years at Stress Engineering Services, where he held leadership roles across medical device and pharma, consumer products, strategic client engagement, and consulting. Stress Engineering's medical and pharmaceutical practice focuses on product design, analysis, testing, failure analysis, material science, packaging, manufacturing support, reliability, and regulatory-grade engineering solutions—areas that align closely with Rob's career-long focus on helping organizations solve difficult technical and business problems.  Rob's technical foundation is in plastics engineering, supported by an MBA from Ashland University and a BS in Plastics Engineering from Penn State. Over his career, he has worked across companies including Procter & Gamble, Newell Brands, Stress Engineering Services, Accelitek, and now Cormica. His experience gives him a rare perspective that bridges hands-on engineering, product development, failure remediation, consulting, business strategy, and executive-level technical leadership. A central theme of this conversation is how engineers can thrive in corporate R&D environments. Rob wants to explore the intersection of budgeting, project success, layoffs, and business performance—and how engineers can use that understanding to make better decisions, protect their careers, and create more value for their organizations. Rather than treating corporate realities as distractions from engineering, Rob sees them as forces engineers can learn to understand and navigate.  LINKS: Robert States LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/plasticpro/ Cormica Website: https://www.cormica.com/Aaron Moncur, host PDX 2026 is October 20-21 in Phoenix, AZ.  Learn more and register at https://pdexpo.engineer/  Subscribe to the show to get notified so you don't miss new episodes every Friday.The Being An Engineer podcast is brought to you by Pipeline Design & Engineering.

Ellen Coyne and Jack Power join Pat Leahy to look back on the week in politics:· All 27 EU foreign ministers will gather in Druids Glen in Wicklow next week for a “Gymnich” meeting. What is that you ask, it is characterised as a more informal chat with no expectation of any hard decisions being made. The lull of August will now give way to a hectic calendar culminating in difficult choices around the next seven-year EU budget.· Andy Burnham made his first visit to Northern Ireland this week as UK prime minister. He raised eyebrows with his assertion that a Border poll is “off the table”. This won't please Sinn Féin given the money and energy they are putting into making a vote on a united Ireland a reality. · The Dáil sat briefly on Friday, where, among other topics of debate, it decided to vote against fuel price increases. The Government now further defers clawing back the cuts in excise taxes it announced earlier in the summer for two more months. Can it continue to shield the public from increasing fuel costs beyond November?Plus, the panel picks their favourite Irish Times pieces of the week:· The unifying power of the late Dolly Parton, Scouting Ireland's future, and CIA chief visits Moscow to urge a Ukraine war deal.Would you like to receive daily insights into world events delivered to your inbox?

In this episode of Business Brain, we open with a management tip that could be costing you right now: tell your staff to use as much AI as they need. You’ll hear why employees quietly ration their own usage out of misplaced budget-consciousness, why a-la-carte tokens still beat leveling up plans you don’t need, and how a quick conversation about limits can surface whether someone’s underusing a tool that could transform their work. Teach your team never to assume a tool is too expensive without asking you first. Then we tackle the AI watermarking debate, sparked by an EU mandate and the first company to publicly embrace it. You’ll learn how text watermarking actually works through word choice rather than hidden characters, why it isn’t deterministic, and what happens when you run watermarked output through another model. We spar over regulatory capture, the AI triopoly, and whether “doing it right” is the brand or the reality, then point you to the tools people are already building to strip marks out. It’s a lively, skeptical look at where this is all heading, all in the spirit of the charmed life. 00:00:00 Business Brain – The Entrepreneurs' Podcast #783 for Casual FridAI, August 28th, 2026 August 28th: National Bow Tie Day 00:01:37 Tell your staff to use as much AI as they need Loop Engineering 101 00:07:54 SPONSOR: Hims.

O diálogo tornou-se uma "arte esquecida"? Mais do que apenas conversar, estamos perdendo a capacidade fundamental de trocar ideias com profundidade.Neste vídeo, a professora e voluntária da Nova Acrópole, Ana Beatriz Pignataro, traz uma reflexão urgente sobre como a comunicação verbal tem sido abalada nos tempos atuais. Ela esclarece dois dos sete passos essenciais para resgatar o diálogo como uma verdadeira Arte, transformando conversas superficiais em encontros humanos significativos.00:00 - Introdução: O Diálogo como Fruto da Vida Interior Explicação de que o diálogo verdadeiro nasce do desenvolvimento interior e do domínio da própria personalidade, não apenas de técnicas externas.01:52 - O Diálogo como uma das Artes mais Complexas A importância do "ensaio" e da prática constante para atingir a harmonia nas relações.03:09 - Diferença entre Confronto e Diálogo Análise etimológica e prática: o confronto como imposição de fronteiras e o diálogo como a capacidade de ir além das palavras.08:02 - O Amor à Verdade vs. O Amor à Própria Opinião Como o desejo de ampliar a visão de mundo deve prevalecer sobre a necessidade de estar certo.09:32 - Aprender com a Vida através do Outro A percepção de que cada ser humano possui um ponto de vista único que é essencial para o nosso próprio crescimento.11:07 - A Insegurança como Causa dos Confrontos A analogia da árvore: por que a falta de convicções profundas nos leva a tentar impor argumentos pela força.15:12 - O Termômetro do Diálogo: A Vida Cresce ou Diminui? Como identificar um bom diálogo pela sensação de motivação e aprofundamento do laço após a conversa.18:21 - O Pressuposto do Diálogo: Querer Aprender A pergunta fundamental: "Eu quero realmente dialogar ou apenas convencer?".20:25 - Primeiro Passo: Objetividade A importância de não supor motivos alheios e ter clareza sobre o objetivo da própria comunicação.26:25 - Segundo Passo: Respeito e Humildade Filosófica Reconhecer que o outro sempre tem uma razão para pensar como pensa e evitar o rótulo como desculpa para não dialogar.32:56 - Conclusão: Todos são teus Instrutores A meta de tratar a todos com respeito, independentemente de concordar com suas opiniões, e o convite à prática.

Wir beginnen den ersten Teil des Programms mit Kanadas Ablehnung der amerikanischen Bedingungen für das Handelsabkommens mit den USA. Premierminister Carney hat damit nicht nur ein Handelsabkommen abgelehnt. Kanada sieht in der aggressiven Haltung der USA auch eine Bedrohung seiner Souveränität und kulturellen Identität. Unser nächstes Thema knüpft an unsere erste Story an: Kann die EU dem Beispiel Kanadas folgen und Trump die Stirn bieten? In unserem Wissenschaftsthema sprechen wir über eine Studie zu Verkehrstoten in den USA. Sie zeigt, dass deren Zahl an Tagen, an denen neue Alben bekannter Musiker veröffentlicht werden, um 15 % steigt. Und wir beenden den ersten Teil des Programms mit einer sensationellen Nachricht aus Großbritannien: Nigel Farage hat seinen größten Rivalen, Count Binface, bei den Parlamentswahlen souverän besiegt! Der Rest des Programms ist der deutschen Sprache und Kultur gewidmet. Die heutige Grammatiklektion konzentriert sich auf False Cognates — Part 2. Wir sprechen über Labskaus, eine gestampfte Masse aus Fleisch und Gemüse. Bei diesem norddeutschen Gericht scheiden sich die Geister. Einige lieben es, andere würden es niemals essen. Seinen Ursprung hat Labskaus in der Seefahrt im 18. Jahrhundert. Vor 65 Jahren begann die DDR mit dem historischen Bau der Berliner Mauer, die West-Berlin hermetisch vom DDR-Umland abriegelte. Mit dem Bau des sogenannten „antifaschistischen Schutzwalls" wollte die DDR die Abwanderung von Millionen von Flüchtlingen nach West-Berlin stoppen. Das DDR-Regime haute buchstäblich auf den Putz und genau das ist auch die Redewendung diese Woche – Auf den Putz hauen. Kanadas Widerstand gegen den Druck der USA hat tiefe historische Wurzeln Kanada bietet Trump die Stirn: Kann die EU diesem Beispiel folgen? 15 % mehr Verkehrstote in den USA nach Release von Alben populärer Musiker Nigel Farage gewinnt gegen Count Binface Labskaus Berliner Mauerbau vor 65 Jahren

You can be like them by clicking here: https://www.patreon.com/evnewsRENAULT 5 GAINS RANGE AND LFP ENTRY VERSIONRenault has updated the electric Renault 5, lifting the 40 kWh Urban Range to 315 km (196 miles) and the 52 kWh Comfort Range to 430 km (267 miles) from 410 km, crediting a lower ride height, redesigned mirrors and optimised battery electronics. In markets including France, the 70 kW/40 kWh version is replaced by an entry model pairing an 80 kW "Gen 2 Evo" motor from the Twingo E-Tech with a 36.5 kWh cell-to-pack LFP battery for up to 305 km (190 miles), 6.6 kW AC and 80 kW DC charging, with Google's Gemini assistant arriving over the air and the range shown at the Paris Motor Show from 12 to 18 October 2026.CHINESE AUTOMAKERS PLAN 1.5 MILLION EUROPEAN OUTPUT BY 2035Mobility Global forecasts Chinese brands will build about 90,000 vehicles in Europe this year, rising to 1 million by 2030 and 1.5 million by 2035, with roughly half of the 2030 output coming from Spain as BYD starts Hungarian production this autumn, Chery assembles Jaecoo and Omoda in Barcelona, Leapmotor uses Stellantis' Zaragoza plant, MG plans a Galicia plant for 2028 and Geely forms a Ford joint venture in Valencia (66% Ford, 34% Geely) operating from the first half of 2027. The push comes ahead of the EU's proposed Industrial Accelerator Act, which would attach "Made in EU" tests to public procurement, state support and CO₂ super-credits rather than impose a general local-content rule, while economists warn Europe risks becoming a final-assembly site without winning higher-value manufacturing and supply-chain jobs.FIAT 500E LEADS OWNERSHIP COST STUDYSelf, Inc. compared annual running costs for 50 new cars, excluding purchase price, finance and depreciation and assuming 15,000 miles a year, finding an average of $6,913 and placing the Fiat 500e first at $3,557, ahead of the Honda Civic Hybrid at $4,833. Hybrids averaged $5,734 a year against $6,189 for battery-electric and $7,025 for combustion cars, with the Dodge Charger Daytona the second-cheapest EV at $5,298 and the Lucid Air the priciest at $10,049, though the 500e's win has not translated into demand as Stellantis reported just 150 US sales in the first half of 2026, down 81% year on year.ICAUR V25 CONFIRMED FOR AUSTRALIA IN EARLY 2027Chery has confirmed the iCaur V25 will launch in Australia in early 2027 alongside the brand's arrival, with the larger V27 also expected in the initial line-up, and the 4636mm-long five-seater offering a 2820mm wheelbase, 197mm of ground clearance, a 200kg roof-load rating, fixed aluminium side steps, removable D-pillar panels and a side-hinged rear door with a 22.7-litre external storage box. It uses a range-extender drivetrain with a Chery 1.5-litre petrol engine and a 33.67kWh LFP battery giving up to 150km (93.2 miles) of electric range on WLTC, and rides on a unibody with MacPherson struts and rear five-link suspension rather than a ladder frame.KEMPOWER LINKS PLUG COUNT TO CHARGER USEKempower's analysis of North American public charging sites on its ChargEye software found plug count correlated with utilisation at 0.63 versus just 0.228 for total installed power, that distributed-charging sites averaged 83% higher utilisation than fixed-power dispensers, and that about 100 kW of available power per plug is the sweet spot when all connectors are in use. The paper does not disclose sample size, observation period, how utilisation was calculated or whether it controlled for location, traffic, age, pricing or reliability, it shows correlation rather than causation, it promotes an architecture Kempower already sells as its MORE Plugs system, and its 100 kW benchmark falls short of the NEVI rule requiring each port on an Alternative Fuel Corridor to deliver up to 150 kW simultaneously.US EV RENTERS FACE CHARGING COST PENALTYUS EV drivers in rented or multifamily homes can pay up to six times more to charge than those on standard residential electricity, a "renter's penalty" worsened because utility assistance programmes typically tie benefits to a household meter. A playbook from GRID Alternatives and the Smart Electric Power Alliance proposes driver-focused measures such as account-linked discounts or prepaid charging cards for income-qualified owners, combined with location-focused steps like reduced-price charging at utility-owned public stations and multifamily sites in priority communities.BYD ADDS CANADA 'COMING SOON' PAGEBYD has put a "Coming Soon" message on its Canadian website and listed eleven management vacancies, eight of them posted by BYD North America and based in Toronto or the wider Greater Toronto Area, covering head of sales, marketing, network development, infrastructure business development, operations planning, legal counsel and HR, with one sales role tasked with leading market entry, nationwide sales and a dealer network for passenger vehicles. No models, prices, dealers, ordering function or launch date have been published, and while Canada reopened to Chinese-made EVs on 1 March 2026 by replacing the 100% surtax with a 49,000-vehicle annual quota at a 6.1% tariff, shipment-specific permits and Transport Canada compliance still apply.GERMAN SUPPLIERS LOOK BEYOND CARS AS ELECTRIC VEHICLES RESHAPE INDUSTRYElectrification is redrawing the network of parts, skills and factories behind the car, illustrated by Nuremberg-area family firm Sembach, whose output of small automotive parts has fallen from about 600 million to 400 million a year and which set a 2023 target of cutting automotive revenue from 80 to 40 per cent by 2033. The VDA says around 100,000 German automotive jobs have gone since 2019 and another 125,000 could follow by 2035, with many replacement roles created abroad, while Bosch, on €91 billion of revenue last year, is pivoting to sensors, robotics, software-defined mobility and electrification even as it plans to cut more than 20,000 German automotive jobs by 2030.SOLENT ELECTRIC BOAT CHARGING NETWORK EXPANDSThe Electric Seaway, a £3.2m project backed by the Department for Transport's UK SHORE programme, has since 2023 built a chain of CCS DC fast-charging points along the south coast using 400V-class technology similar to car rapid chargers, though Aqua superPower COO Karen Gill says uptake has come mainly from commercial workboats rather than leisure yachts. Range remains the constraint for weekenders, with Grand Soleil's 33ft Blue claiming 30 nautical miles at 5 knots from its 6kW ePropulsion pod and 8kWh battery, or 60 with a second battery and a diesel option still offered, while Yamaha's 2024 acquisition of Torqeedo signals that the largest outboard manufacturer is taking electric marine propulsion seriously.

Today we had the pleasure of hosting Erin Price-Wright, General Partner in American Dynamism at Andreessen Horowitz (a16z). Erin joined a16z from Index Ventures in 2024, where she was a Partner focused on software infrastructure and applied AI. She previously served as Head of Product for Palantir's data analytics and machine learning program. The American Dynamism practice invests in founders and companies that support the national interest spanning aerospace, defense, public safety, education, housing, supply chain, industrials, and manufacturing. We were thrilled to hear Erin's perspective on the rapidly evolving intersection of AI, energy, and industrial technology. In our conversation, Erin shares the story behind a16z's American Dynamism practice and its early investments in companies including SpaceX, Anduril, Applied Intuition, Shield AI, and Skydio. She discusses how the firm's conviction in the space developed well before the recent surge of interest in industrial technology. We explore the convergence of AI, supply chain vulnerabilities, geopolitical pressures, reindustrialization, and skilled labor shortages, which Erin believes are creating the conditions for the “next great American industrial build-out.” We discuss physical AI and robotics, the potential to automate dangerous, expensive, and labor-intensive activities across energy and industrial operations, the challenges of deploying physical AI, and the importance of taking a practical approach to automation by starting with specific activities where the economics make sense and expanding from there. We touch on why venture capital is returning to energy and industrial technology, China's advantage in deployment versus the U.S.'s strength in experimentation and entrepreneurship, and the importance of permitting and regulatory certainty. We also examine data centers and the broader question of whether America wants to build, Erin's thoughts for energy and industrial leaders looking to accelerate innovation within their organizations, and much more. Special thanks to Erin for joining! We look forward to partnering with a16z on our upcoming Energy & Industrial Technology Showcase in Houston on September 10. Mike Bradley kicked off the discussion by noting that the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield was trading at ~4.65%, down ~10bps on the week but still near its highest level of the year. Bond investors are focused on the ongoing Canada tariff dispute, Wednesday's Core PCE inflation report, and Chairman Warsh's Jackson Hole speech on Friday. Major equity indices finished lower last week but are modestly higher this week, with attention now centered on NVIDIA's second-quarter earnings report Wednesday and its 6- to 12-month capital spending outlook. Turning to energy markets, Mike highlighted that WTI crude oil had declined ~$5/bbl this week to ~$82/bbl following the Treasury Secretary's announcement of “Operation Economic Outcast,” aimed at increasing economic pressure on Iran. EU natural gas prices rose another ~$1/MMBtu to ~$23/MMBtu, with storage levels remaining a concern ahead of winter. The energy sector was modestly lower this week but remains up ~5% month-to-date, led by refiners (+~12%). In power, electric utilities are down ~5% month-to-date, while IPPs, large-scale generators, and distributed generation providers are down ~10%–15% on average, largely reflecting higher interest rates and growing state-level opposition to data center development.

August 24, 2026Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney instructed negotiators to walk away from talks with the Trump administration, When he won reelection in 2024, Trump emphasized that he intended to use tariffs to pressure Canada to join the US as a 51st state and he has sought to use the extraordinary economic power of the US to force Canada and other countries into subordinate relationships, This new attack on Canada doesn't make economic or political sense for the US but does make sense for this president who is flailing, Republicans appear unwilling to cross Trump but our allies do have power and agency of their own, Carney is urging so-called "middle countries" to create coalitions, Carney and Canada will retaliate against US tariffs and will begin intense discussions with the EU, Trump is clearly seen as untrustworthy, on beef prices, on oil moving through the Strait of Hormuz, and on data centers, A report about a meeting between Hakim Jeffries and Jared Kushner created fury, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced an initiative to demand other world leaders join with the US in strangling Iran's economy. Watch today's recording here: https://www.youtube.com/live/g9TUa1Rwd6U?si=T8_KKcHQZElhpnZ-Get full, free access to Letters from an American here: https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribeYou can also find me:Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/hcrichardson.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/heathercoxrichardson/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/heathercoxrichardson/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@heathercoxrichardson Get full access to Letters from an American at heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribe

Send us Fan MailLisa Hanna, former Miss World, longtime Jamaican cabinet minister, and founder of Lisa Hanna Beauty, joins Skin Anarchy to talk about rejecting the language of correction, building a science led luxury line in Italy, and the activist mission behind her brand.Who is Lisa Hanna?An "accidental beauty queen" who won Miss World in 1993 at 18, then built a two decade political career as one of Jamaica's youngest female members of parliament and a cabinet minister before retiring last year to enter beauty. "I think leadership has an obligation to give other people an opportunity to present their ideas."Why did she move from politics into beauty?Because she rejected how the industry talks about age. As she aged in demanding field work, actives like retinol and vitamin C stopped suiting her skin. "If we're constantly told that the evidence of time is something to correct, eventually we see ourselves and believe that time has diminished us."What does aging intelligently mean?Working with skin rather than fighting it. Hanna reframes skin as an organ deserving support, not correction. "Remember your skin is at its best when it's supported... when you're working in harmony with it." She sees longevity as overused and prefers accumulating knowledge over reversing time.How are women in politics judged on their appearance?Constantly, and before they speak. Hanna recalls being heckled entering parliament, then facing formal motions over sleeveless outfits and a national debate over a swimsuit photo at 51. "There's an ageist component to the beauty," she says, noting the judgment arrived "way before you open your mouth.Why did she make her line in Italy?For innovation and EU standards. She wanted regulated formulas that push boundaries without breaking the skin barrier. "I wanted my products to be EU regulated and to pass EU standards," working with a lab using mastic resin to stimulate the skin's own collagen rather than forcing change from the top down.What is the science behind Lisa Hanna Beauty?A proprietary quantum RECP delivery system across every product. It pairs mastic resin, protected vitamin C that activates only on the skin, green grape extract for inflammation, and matrikine peptides. "Skin must recognize what it already knows," she says, which is why the formulas absorb rather than sit on top.Is Lisa Hanna Beauty only for certain skin tones?No, and she resisted pressure to position it that way. Advisors pushed her to build a brand for people of color; she refused. "I want to do skincare for all skin types." The formulas are clinically tested to work across skin tones, and she argues luxury was wrongly withheld from many women for too long.What is the fade bomb?The line's breakout hero product, a hydrating balm for hyperpigmentation that doubles as a healing product. Built after visiting bleaching factories worldwide, it avoids harsh correctives. "That fade bomb is amazing," used on scarring, bikini line, and underarms across every skin tone.Can luxury skincare be affordable?That was the point. Watching post COVID economic pressure on women, Hanna built a premium seven product line meant to feel special without breaking budgets. "Every woman deserves when they go home to feel luxury," with glass bottles worthy of a vanity and formulas that are clinically tested.What is the brand's activist mission?Five percent of everything funds support for women and children with neurodivergence, especially in Jamaica, where child mental health resources are scarce. Drawing on her own son's experience and her time as minister of youth, she calls it an activist beauty brand. "Skincare can transform skin, but it can also transform lives."Listen to the full episode with Lisa Hanna on Skin Anarchy, available wherever you get your podcasts.Shop Lisa Hanna BeautyDon't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!Support the show

Episode 4210 │ August 25, 2026 Anthropic admitted degrading their own AI's output quality to comply with EU watermarking law. Mike Adams says that changed the entire race. WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS  Scott Kesterson sits down with Mike Adams for their first conversation in a year, opening with the oracle versus librarian framework both have independently arrived at — AI as a tool for research and task execution, never as a divine verdict-giver — and using the Chinese farmer Wu's destroyed sesame crop as the case study for why blaming AI rather than human accountability misdiagnoses every failure. Adams delivers the most significant claim of the interview: Anthropic publicly admitted to watermarking all model outputs under EU law by statistically biasing token selection, a technical concession that provably reduces output quality, while China's DeepSeek, Qwen, and other open-published models have pulled ahead of the US frontier labs specifically because Chinese companies shared their research openly instead of hoarding it as classified defense technology. The conversation closes on the sovereign computing model both are independently building — desktop AI on AMD's Strix Halo chip, open-weight models run locally on solar power, and a coming economy where owning hardware and generating your own energy matters more than money, because decentralized cognition is, in Adams's words, the single greatest threat to globalist control of what people are allowed to know. KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED  What did Anthropic publicly admit about watermarking their AI model outputs to comply with EU law — and why does Mike Adams argue this technical concession provably reduces the quality of every response, even for US domestic users who never consented to it? How did China overtake the US in the AI race — and why does Adams argue that China's strategy of openly publishing research papers and sharing innovations like sparse attention mechanisms and KV cache compression across companies proved more effective than the secrecy-driven US model treating AI as classified defense technology? What is the sovereign computing model Scott and Mike Adams are both building — and why does running open-weight AI models locally on solar-powered hardware represent, in Adams's words, decentralized augmented cognition and the single greatest threat to globalist controllers who have always sought to limit public access to knowledge?

A velha fábula da raposa que não consegue alcançar um cacho de uvas guarda uma ideia que vai muito além da simples desculpa de quem fracassou. Quando a raposa decide que as uvas “estão verdes”, ela transforma a própria frustração em desprezo e revela uma das faces menos evidentes da arrogância: a necessidade de diminuir aquilo que não conseguimos conquistar. Bárbara e Babica partem dessa história para entender o que é o desdém, por que é tão difícil admitir um erro ou uma derrota e como a humildade pode nos ajudar a transformar frustrações em aprendizado, em vez de desperdiçá-las tentando proteger nosso orgulho. Host: Bárbara Stock e Babica Takeaways• O desdém pode funcionar como uma máscara para a frustração, fazendo com que diminuamos aquilo que desejávamos apenas porque não conseguimos alcançar.• A arrogância nem sempre nasce de excesso de confiança; às vezes ela aparece justamente quando temos dificuldade de admitir que erramos, perdemos ou não sabemos alguma coisa.• Reconhecer uma limitação não nos torna menores, mas abre espaço para descobrir o que podemos aprender e fazer diferente numa próxima tentativa. CapítulosUma raposa com muita fomeAs uvas que ficaram altas demais“Eu nem queria mesmo”Quando a frustração vira desdémA arrogância que protege o orgulhoA coragem de dizer “eu não consegui”Perder as uvas ou perder a chance de aprender Links relevantes• Podcast Café Com Leite: https://podcastcafecomleite.com.brSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Gaius and Germanicus: Germanicus attributes these failures to a psychological myth of omnipotence that has "suckled" every post-Cold War president: George H.W. Bush dipping a toe into Somalia, Bill Clinton's cruise missile war on Serbia, Barack Obama's targeted killings, Donald Trump mesmerized by unlimited power despite "mature" advisers, and Joe Biden's "feckless adventure" in Ukraine, sputtering that the US was the "greatest nation with the biggest military of all time." The failed campaign to defeat Russia should have been the alarm bell; instead the establishment stayed blind, and the current president—driven by instant gratification and poll rises, as in the first-term Miami meeting with Xi Jinping where he launched cruise missiles at a Syrian airport while serving chocolate cake—has proven American power "evanescent," "brittle," and "superficial." The hosts then catalog the petty feuds with "subkings" that Rome would have discouraged: the aggressive feud with Canada and Mark Carney despite a century of shared history; threats to invade Greenland, prompting the Danes to enlarge their army; disparaging loyal South Korea while courting Kim Jong-un, a "fratricidal cretin" whose flattery Germanicus calls "creepy"; threatening to throw steadfast Oman "into the ocean"; and destroying the bridge built by Giorgia Meloni, the EU's effective "Trump whisperer." Rather than championing an end to Europe's migration crisis, the president has backed the Sultan of Morocco over Ceuta and Melilla, inciting one of the continent's worst flashpoints—conduct Germanicus reads not as dementia but as narcissism grown into "incipient and growing megalomania," in sharp contrast with the implicit rules of the "divine Augustus," whose disregarding heirs Caligula and Nero did not last long.
