Land Cinema in an Age of Extraction considers nonfiction filmmakers and film collectives whose work advances an understanding of land as a locus of social and environmental responsibility. Diving into little-known archives to explore films that resonate across geographies, Becca Voelcker unearths key examples of eco-political counterculture, from farmer-filmmakers in Japan and Mali to a gardener-filmmaker in Massachusetts, and from filmed landscape-portraits of women in Los Angeles, Orkney, and the Navajo Nation to Indigenous documentaries about land dispossession in Colombia. Proposing "land cinema" as an urgent genre for our time, this book reveals how images and ideas produced half a century ago sowed the seeds for climate justice movements today. Becca Voelcker is Lecturer in the Department of Art at Goldsmiths, University of London. She was named a BBC New Generation Thinker in 2024. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

Extraction shooters are finally confronting their identity crisis. Is Marathon the answer, or just another branch of the same lineage?Phil, Sides, and Anjos break down a pivotal moment for shooters: Highguard's collapse, Marathon's high-stakes launch, and Overwatch's unexpected resurgence. The debate rage on: are we watching the evolution of battle royale into something more persistent, or just another iteration of Tarkov's legacy?We discuss:● Highguard's shutdown and the limits of modern marketing○ Hate-playing, sentiment collapse, and losing control of narrative post-launch● Marathon's design thesis○ Persistent battle royale vs traditional extraction shooter lineage○ Lower friction loops, faster re-entry, and softened risk systems● The genre split○ Arc Raiders as first-principles PvE extraction○ Marathon as PvP-first with extraction layered on top● The missing innovation question○ What is Marathon's true “Bungie leap” beyond sandbox combat + loot?● Overwatch's resurgence○ Systems-driven live ops vs content arms race with Marvel Rivals● The future of shooter ecosystems○ Extraction, hero shooters, and the erosion of “black hole” games

Take a run with The Human Potential Running Series podcast. Episode 80 is Part 3 of a 3 part series on The State of Ultrarunning. In the conclusion of this three-part series, HPRS owner and race director John LaCroix delivers his most raw and data-backed "State of the Sport Address" to date. Using 21 years of longitudinal data from Colorado and beyond, John pulls back the curtain on the "Ghost Race" phenomenon, the math of corporate greed, and the reality of the permit ceiling facing federal land use. This episode features an opening reflection by Dr. Jacob Ambrose on the "AuDHD" (Autism & ADHD) experience—prioritizing truth over simplicity—which sets the stage for a discussion on why the sport is entering a critical "Stewardship Era." Key Topics Covered: The 100-Mile Bubble: Why race counts are up 27% while finishes have stagnated. Extraction vs. Stewardship: The rise of corporate "Ironmanization" and predatory race scheduling. The Math of Entry Fees: A forensic look at why $500 entries are becoming the norm (and why it's not just inflation). The Cultural Shift: Moving from a "frat house" atmosphere of mockery back to a "sanctuary" of belonging. HPRS Updates: Why John is choosing "depth over breadth" by reducing race counts and leaning into the Community Fund.

We here at Good Enough Gaming are always wondering what happens in board room meetings at these large companies and how certain decisions are made. The ongoing conclusions are that these people should include us in their meetings so that they might make some decisions that actually benefit gamers and consumers and not just the investors. But before we get on a huge rant about corporate greed, lets discuss what this is really about, and that is the rise of another extraction shooter game coming from the esteemed Bungie studios in Marathon. Will this game meet expectations and thrive, or is this another game that will succumb to the demise if others like it competing for a market that might not accept it at all. This should get explosive, a little soapboxy, and probably full of us making fun of certain games that have flopped horribly in the last few years. Welcome to the sh*tshow!

Welcome back to the Expanding Economics podcast! In this episode, Noé and Zoya dive into the complex history and future of the natural resource trade. They explore how the wealth of developing nations—from oil in Venezuela to copper in Zambia—has been shaped by a legacy of colonial extraction and neocolonial influence. Their discussion traces the path from the 1884 Berlin Conference to the lost decade of the 1980s, analyzing how Structural Adjustment Programs (SAPs) often stripped nations of the tools needed for domestic development. By examining the Resource Curse and the double externality of environmental and social harm, they shed light on why resource abundance doesn't always lead to prosperity. Tune in to explore how modern strategies, such as moving up the value chain and leveraging the green transition, might finally allow developing nations to reclaim economic self-determination and sovereign growth.

Nobody talks about Sudan. Focusing on truth will always lead to good things. Increasing the people's knowledge is the key. Lots of taxpayer money goes to stabilize the world. The way this money is used is always suspect. How important is Sudan? Both the ICC and the UN make moves to control it's shores. And Russia needed a port, so they're involved in a big way. Sudan had many assets like gold, water, oil and farmland. Did we mention Niobium? Why do the people have nothing? Average age is 19. Who decided Africa would stay hungry? How do you make foreign aid work. Cindy McCain is finally out. Sieges, war and starving masses. The international community ignores it all. The British structure was designed to extract resources. Export corridors are called development. Keeping them hungry enough to manage. 85 billion in food imports annually. 60% of our planet's farm ready land is in Africa. It's a dirty guns for gold operation. The UAE is evil. Some of this was on Hunter's laptop. Beijing holds a lien on Sudan's production capacity. Do we have the will to change? A double win is within reach. It seems impossible to believe, but our country's future is closely tied to Africa.

Connie Greyeyes describes herself as an ‘accidental activist.' After her cousin was murdered and her childhood best friend went missing, she started organizing vigils for missing and murdered Indigenous women in Fort St. John, B.C. — then asking questions about the relationship between resource extraction and violence against women. This episode is the first in a series of profiles of human rights defenders, recorded alongside the 2025 CBC Massey Lectures.

On the eve of total distraction, we stop looking at the shiny objects and start looking at the hands moving them. From UFO whistleblowers to the dark secrets of the Epstein files, we analyze how modern headlines act as a smokescreen for global shifts. Are we being fed a "conspiracy" diet to keep us from seeing the bigger picture? Tonight, we deconstruct the counterintelligence and disinformation tactics that turn the public into "experts" of their own echo chambers.

In the first Industry Insight episode of On Aon, Charles Philpott and Paul Pryor explore why mining and natural resources are becoming more critical than ever before. From electrification and the energy transition to data center expansion and national security, demand for minerals is accelerating at an unprecedented pace. Against this backdrop, Charles and Paul discuss how mining companies are navigating deeper and more complex extraction, evolving geopolitical and supply chain dynamics and rising expectations around ESG and safety — while also unlocking new sources of capital and competitive advantage. The conversation also examines one of the sector's most pressing opportunities: building the workforce of the future. As automation, AI and autonomous operations reshape mining, organizations that invest in skills, technology and compelling employee value propositions will be best positioned to attract and retain the next generation of talent. Key Takeaways:   Natural resources underpin the modern economy, from electrification and decarbonization to data center growth — placing mining at the heart of global growth and resilience. End‑to‑end visibility across the mining value chain — from extraction and processing to transport and infrastructure — is increasingly essential as demand for metals such as copper, gold and critical minerals accelerates. Talent and technology are becoming sources of competitive advantage. Mining companies that embrace automation, AI and differentiated employee value propositions will be better positioned to secure future skills and sustain long‑term performance. Experts in this episode:   Charles Philpott — Global Natural Resources Leader, Enterprise Client Group, Aon Paul Pryor — Global Mining Practice Leader, Aon Key moments:   (4:10) As the natural resources industry transforms and makes more use of autonomous vehicles and autonomous operations, so too are they exposed to greater technology and cyber risks. (5:35) Extraction is getting more difficult, the new deposits are deeper and complex geologies and at the same time the demand for minerals will increase about six times through 2040. (9:30) Data centers depend on mining  — from construction materials to battery metals and cooling systems — underscoring how critical minerals underpin every layer of modern data and cloud capacity.   Soundbites:     Paul Pryor: “The biggest issue facing natural resources companies today is trying to satisfy the world's incessant demand to improve the quality of life.”   Charles Philpott: “Few industries are under as much pressure and opportunity as mining right now.”

Plantations have been the privileged tool of colonial rule and extraction in Mozambique for more than one hundred years despite never having delivered sustained economic or social benefits. Drawing on extensive archival and qualitative contemporary research, The Plantation Ideal: Landscapes of Extraction in Mozambique (U California Press, 2025) by Dr. Wendy Wolford offers new insights into plantation economies, histories, and landscapes. Dr. Wolford tells the story of how the largely failed pursuit of plantation production has shaped agricultural science, government rule, life on the land, and community development in Mozambique from the harshest years of Portuguese colonization to the present. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Medicinal mushrooms have been gaining popularity in the wellness world due to their potential health benefits. In this episode of the NTI PodTalk, Dianne interviews soon to be graduate, NTI staff member, and founder of Bloomcap Naturals, Andy Cappetta. Andy shares his journey into mycology, medicinal mushroom cultivation and extraction, and what truly defines a high-quality mushroom supplement. If you've been using medicinal mushrooms, or are curious about them but don't know where to start, this episode is for you! About Andy:Andrew Cappetta is a Colorado-based mycology enthusiast, functional nutrition professional, and the founder of Bloomcap Naturals LLC — a small-batch, fruiting-body-only mushroom extract company focused on purity, potency, and transparency.Andrew's passion for mushrooms began as part of his own healing journey. After struggling with reactive hypoglycemia, nervous system dysregulation, and the emotional stress of losing his brother, he turned toward the world of functional mushrooms as a way to support his resilience and well-being. When commercial supplements only left him inflamed or anxious, he decided to dive deeper — learning sterile techniques, growing his own mushrooms, and eventually mastering dual-extraction methods.During his training at the Nutrition Therapy Institute, Andrew studied biochemistry, herbology, and the art of extraction, which shaped his approach to creating clean, potent tinctures rooted in tradition and backed by modern understanding. He now grows Reishi, Lion's Mane, Cordyceps, and other species on organic substrates, producing extracts crafted for people who want honest, high-quality mushroom tinctures and powders without grain fillers or mycelium.Through Bloomcap Naturals and his work in functional nutrition, Andrew helps people connect with the world of fungi, understand the science behind them, and use them as allies in supporting their body's natural balance.When he isn't cultivating mushrooms, you'll find him outdoors in Colorado, crafting educational content, or diving into the microbiome research that continues to inspire his work.Bloomcap NaturalsInstagramintelligentfoods88@gmail.com**Timestamps for the topics discussed can be found on this episode's NTI PodTalk pageAre you ready to start your journey as a Nutrition Therapist Master?

In the thrilling conclusion of the RPGBOT.Pulp Cthulhu Actual Play, our heroes discover that Luck points are real, sanity is optional, and jetpacks are — scientifically speaking — extremely explosive plot devices. Bjorn steals the Necronomicon with telekinesis, Murray forgets who he is, everyone falls in love with the villain thanks to eldritch karaoke mind control, and the final boss fight is resolved using the timeless tactical doctrine of: "What if we shot the jetpack?" Featuring heroic sacrifice, catastrophic math, spontaneous dismemberment, and a helicopter extraction that arrives precisely when pulp cinema demands it — this episode delivers the important lesson that Call of Cthulhu isn't about surviving intact. It's about surviving spectacularly. Show Notes The finale opens with table banter and a brief plug for ongoing Pulp Cthulhu play opportunities before the Keeper resets the stage and reviews key mechanics — including luck recovery, spending luck for survival, and sanity system nuances. The players regain luck and receive a reminder of how it can modify rolls, negate damage, or even prevent death — rules that soon prove critical. A sanity check against newly transformed ghast enemies immediately escalates tension. Randall's character loses significant sanity and enters a bout of insanity, gaining amnesia and temporarily forgetting context and equipment while acquiring an "insane talent" that grants unusual resilience to pain. This mechanical disruption reinforces Call of Cthulhu's psychological stakes and introduces roleplay chaos at the outset of combat. Combat begins in the ritual chamber where Scarlet Arachnus attempts to complete her summoning. Gunfire exchanges with the ghasts while Arachnus deflects harm through magic. Randall lands a devastating critical hit on one creature, while Tyler pivots toward objective play — targeting the ritual itself. The Necronomicon becomes the center of the encounter as telekinesis is used to wrest control of the artifact from the villain, disrupting her casting momentum. The encounter spikes in complexity when Arachnus unleashes Siren Song, charming allies and nearly turning the party against itself. Iowa succumbs completely, while Tyler resists. Surrounded and nearly dead, Tyler resorts to a desperate solution — coordinating with Randall's jetpack maneuver. The resulting detonation obliterates Arachnus and the ghasts, collapses magical support sustaining the enemies, and nearly kills the party in the process. Randall survives only by spending luck to avoid certain death. After the blast, the ritual collapses, the remaining threats dissolve, and the survivors secure the artifact. Extraction arrives via helicopter — a fitting pulp cinematic conclusion — as the buried ruins vanish beneath the sand, ensuring their secrets remain hidden. The episode closes with post-session reflections on system feel and character impact, cementing the adventure as a chaotic but successful demonstration of Pulp Cthulhu's tone and mechanics. Key Takeaways Luck mechanics are central survival tools and dramatically influence outcomes Sanity loss meaningfully alters gameplay through narrative and mechanical disruption Insanity effects can produce both hindrance and unexpected advantages Objective-focused play (stealing the artifact) can end encounters faster than damage trading Mind-control effects reinforce Mythos horror stakes beyond physical threats Pulp tone encourages cinematic risk and heroic sacrifice Improvisation and environment use can resolve otherwise lethal encounters Narrative pacing culminates in high-stakes chaos followed by cinematic resolution Actual Play effectively demonstrates mechanics through emergent storytelling The finale showcases how Call of Cthulhu balances horror tension with pulp heroics Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

The tech industry no longer serves human needs. According to legal scholar and writer Tim Wu, the tech industry has shifted away from providing services and now only exist to extract our money, data, and time. This week, Adam sits with Tim to talk about his new book, Age of Extraction. Together, they chart exactly how we came to find ourselves in this mess and what it might take for us to dig our way out of it.

Europe is not facing a crisis of ideas — it is facing a crisis of industrial depth.In this EUVC episode, Danijel Višević (Co-Founder & General Partner, World Fund), Heidi Lindvall (Founder & General Partner, Pale Blue Dot), Narina Mnatsakanian (Partner & Chief Impact Officer at Regeneration VC), Dr. Isabella Fandrych (Co-Founder and General Partner at Nucleus Capital), Jordan Billiald (Principal at IQ Capital), and Moritz Jungmann (GP at Future Energy Ventures) confront one of the defining questions of 2025:What does sovereignty actually mean?Danijel opens with history. In 1951, coal and steel powered conflict — so Europe integrated them. That integration was not symbolic. It was structural coordination under pressure. Europe repeated this reflex after the Berlin Wall, during COVID, and following the Russian gas shock. Europe does not collapse under pressure. It coordinates. But today, coordination must extend beyond policy — into capital markets and industrial systems.The structural gaps are stark. Europe produces less than 10% of the semiconductors it consumes. It imports the vast majority of rare earth materials. It raises significantly less venture capital than the United States. Only a fraction of European climate tech startups reach Series B. Europe can invent. It struggles to industrialize.Heidi reframes venture capital itself. Performance is necessary, but insufficient. Her equation is clear: Success = Performance × Trust. Trust — expressed through brand, values, and measurable impact — acts as a multiplier. Venture does not simply fund companies. It allocates the future. Narina reinforces the LP perspective: pension funds seek returns, but pensioners also seek stability, sustainability, and systemic resilience. Capital allocation is no longer purely financial. It is strategic.Dr. Isabella Fandrych shifts the conversation to materials. The energy transition is not just about electrons — it is about minerals: copper, lithium, nickel, manganese. Extraction today is geopolitically concentrated and environmentally destructive. Biology offers alternatives: microbes separating metals from rock, engineered proteins extracting minerals from waste streams, plants accumulating metals for harvest. Industrial decarbonisation is chemistry as much as energy policy.Jordan makes the case for baseload energy. Europe has reduced emissions partly through deindustrialization and outsourcing production. If Europe wants manufacturing, AI data centres, electrified transport, and economic resilience, it needs dense, dispatchable power. Renewables are essential — but intermittent. Nuclear remains one of the few proven zero-carbon baseload sources operating at scale. The debate, he argues, should be practical — not ideological.Moritz closes on infrastructure. Europe has built renewable capacity quickly. The constraint is no longer generation. It is grid orchestration. As energy systems decentralize, operators must manage volatile, distributed flows. The opportunity lies in software: orchestration, optimization, dynamic throughput management. Energy sovereignty is not just about producing electrons. It is about system design.Sovereignty in 2025 is not a slogan.It is an investment strategy.What's covered:00:30 Sovereignty redefined — from symbols to supply chains03:00 Europe under pressure — integration as a structural reflex06:00 The industrial gap — semiconductors, rare earths, and scale-up capital10:30 Venture as allocator — Success = Performance × Trust15:00 The LP lens — systemic capital and long-term responsibility19:00 The materials bottleneck — why decarbonisation is mineral-intensive23:00 Biology as infrastructure — new extraction paradigms27:00 Baseload power — nuclear as industrial policy32:00 The grid constraint — orchestration, optimization, software-defined systems38:00 Sovereignty as coordinated capital and industrial depth

Breaking developments in the Nancy Guthrie investigation reveal a widening gap between official statements and ground-level activity. Authorities maintain there are no suspects, no persons of interest, no vehicles identified. But drone footage, forensic activity, and internal department conflicts tell a story the press conferences aren't addressing.Fox Flight Team captured deputies probing a septic tank behind Nancy's property Sunday morning. Saturday night, investigators spent three hours inside Annie Guthrie's home with forensic photography equipment, leaving after 10:30 PM with evidence bags and latex gloves. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer identified this as "evidence extraction." A gas station employee told Fox News Digital that investigators said they were looking for "a guy that got away." Topographic search grid maps were photographed at a staging area near the home.While forensic teams worked Annie Guthrie's residence Saturday night, Sheriff Chris Nanos was photographed near the front row at a University of Arizona basketball game. His own deputies' union has gone public with damaging revelations — he grounded the department's thermal-imaging search plane by punishing its pilot over a personal grudge, and transferred the most experienced Search and Rescue deputy to patrol without replacement during an active missing persons case.The crime scene was released after one day, then re-entered five consecutive times. A rooftop camera was missed for five days. The ransom notes provided no communication channel and no follow-through when the deadline passed. The family's FBI-crafted "we will pay" video responded to a second note that made no demands.Nancy's pacemaker disconnected at 2:28 AM February first. She has been without daily medication since. Tony Brueski breaks down what the investigation's silence means.#NancyGuthrie #SavannahGuthrie #ChrisNanos #PimaCountySheriff #HiddenKillersLive #TucsonArizona #ForensicInvestigation #FBI #MissingPerson #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Federal agents arrived at the home of Annie Guthrie and Tommaso Cioni with forensic extraction equipment. They were the last people to see Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Savannah Guthrie, before she was taken from her Tucson residence. Investigators confirmed forced entry, DNA evidence at the scene, and ransom notes demanding bitcoin — routed to media outlets rather than the family. The sheriff says no one is a suspect. No persons of interest have been named. More than a hundred investigators are assigned to the case. But the behavioral and legal landscape is far more complex than those statements suggest. The ransom delivery method — bypassing the family entirely and going to TMZ and local stations — creates significant legal exposure for whoever is responsible, whether or not they physically took Nancy. The DNA confirmed at the scene belongs to Nancy, but the sheriff won't specify whether it's blood. That distinction matters enormously. DNA establishing presence carries different legal weight than DNA establishing harm, and the type of biological evidence recovered shapes what charges prosecutors can bring. Pacemaker sync data is being used to establish that Nancy went out of range around 2 a.m. Medical device evidence in a kidnapping case is new legal territory, and how it gets introduced at trial — and where it's vulnerable to challenge — could define the prosecution's timeline. The sheriff initially told NBC that Nancy "was harmed at the home," then walked it back as a misstatement. Defense attorneys notice contradictions like that. They get used in court. The Guthrie family's video statement drew analysis from former federal law enforcement professionals who described it as heavily scripted and strategically directed by authorities. Savannah asked for proof of life and humanized her mother — every line serving an investigative purpose. Meanwhile, a fifty-thousand-dollar FBI reward is active, the president has pledged federal resources, and tips continue to flood in. Nancy requires medication the sheriff described as potentially fatal to miss. Her age, limited mobility, and medical needs elevate sentencing exposure under both state and federal guidelines. Robin Dreeke, former head of the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, breaks down how investigators behaviorally assess everyone in Nancy's orbit without premature conclusions. Defense attorney Eric Faddis explains what a kidnapping prosecution looks like from both sides and why the jurisdiction question between Arizona and federal courts carries dramatically different consequences.#NancyGuthrie #SavannahGuthrie #RobinDreeke #EricFaddis #FBI #TrueCrime #Kidnapping #PimaCouny #CriminalDefense #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Interview with Rupert Verco, CEO & Managing Director of Cobra Resources PLCOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/cobra-resources-lsecobr-maiden-resource-work-begins-with-2026-drill-campaign-8583Recording date: 4th February 2026Cobra Resources (LSE:COBR) is positioning itself at the forefront of Australia's critical minerals sector through a dual strategy: advancing two significant South Australian projects while actively influencing government policy on strategic reserves.The company's flagship Boland rare earths project utilizes in-situ recovery (ISR) technology to extract dysprosium and terbium, targeting production costs of $60/kg NdPr—half the $120/kg required by conventional mining operations. This cost advantage forms the basis of management's ambition to become "the Kazatomprom of rare earths," replicating the Kazakh uranium producer's dominance through lowest-cost ISR operations. The company has achieved significant technical milestones, including proven ISR processes, proprietary sulfuric acid production from waste materials, and 100% cerium suppression that enhances product value by increasing heavy rare earth ratios to 48%.Complementing the rare earths focus, Cobra's Manna Hill project offers substantial copper-molybdenum-gold-PGE potential. Historic drilling has returned exceptional results, including 4-8 meter intersections grading 2% molybdenum at the Blue Rose prospect. Current programs aim to demonstrate tier-one scale at shallow depths, with management targeting 50+ meter intersections exceeding 1% copper.Beyond project development, Managing Director Rupert Verco has played a key role through the Association of Mining and Exploration Companies (AMEC) in shaping Australia's Critical Minerals Strategic Reserve. The AMEC submission advocates for production support mechanisms modeled on Australia's Capacity Investment Scheme rather than floor pricing, which Verco argues would unfairly advantage higher-cost producers.In 2025, Cobra expanded its land position by 3,200 square kilometers with favorable metallurgy confirmed, while divesting gold assets to Barton Gold for non-dilutive capital. The company holds approximately £5 million in in-the-money warrants and maintains a significant Barton Gold equity position, providing funding optionality as it pursues key 2026 milestones: defining a significant rare earths resource by June, completing a scoping study, and delivering copper-molybdenum drill results that could materially re-rate the asset.View Cobra Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/cobra-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Ragebait, sponcon, A.I. slop — the internet of 2026 makes a lot of us nostalgic for the internet of 10 or 15 years ago.What exactly went wrong here? How did the early promise of the internet get so twisted? And what exactly is wrong here? What kinds of policies could actually make our digital lives meaningfully better?Cory Doctorow and Tim Wu have two different theories of the case, which I thought would be interesting to put in conversation together. Doctorow is a science fiction writer, an activist with the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the author of “Enshittification: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What to Do About It.” Wu is a law professor who worked on technology policy in the Biden White House; his latest book is “The Age of Extraction: How Tech Platforms Conquered the Economy and Threaten Our Future Prosperity.”In this conversation, we discuss their different frameworks, and how they connect to all kinds of issues that plague the modern internet: the feeling that we're being manipulated; the deranging of our politics; the squeezing of small businesses and creators; the deluge of spam and fraud; the constant surveillance and privacy risks; the quiet rise of algorithmic pricing; and the dehumanization of work. And they lay out the policies that they think would go furthest in making all these different aspects of our digital lives better.Mentioned:Enshittification by Cory DoctorowThe Age of Extraction by Tim Wu“Fighting Enshittification” by Josh RichmanBook Recommendations:Small Is Beautiful by E.

Welcome to this week's episode of The Lead. Join HRS Digital Education Committee member and podcast host Danesh Kella, MBBS, FHRS as he welcomes his guests Rahul N Doshi, MD, FHRS and Robert D Schaller, DO, FHRS. They are discussing Mechanical Vacuum Aspiration and Debulking of Large Vegetations During Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device Extractions, which was published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology in October 2025. This article describes the use of mechanical vacuum aspiration systems to debulk large intracardiac vegetations during cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) extraction, aiming to reduce embolic risk and procedural complications. The authors highlight procedural techniques, patient selection, and safety considerations when combining aspiration with transvenous lead extraction. This approach represents an important adjunctive strategy for managing complex CIED infections with large vegetations.   Learning Objectives Describe the role of mechanical vacuum aspiration in the management of large vegetations during CIED extraction procedures. Identify patient selection criteria and procedural considerations for safely combining vegetation debulking with transvenous lead extraction. Recognize potential risks, benefits, and complications associated with aspiration-assisted extraction in patients with CIED infection.   Article for Discussion: https://www.jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacc.2025.07.043   Article Authors Yury Malyshev, Marc A.

Hello, hello! In this episode of the Good Garbage Podcast, host Ved Krishna sits down with Neha Jain, Founder & CEO of Zerocircle, to explore how seaweed-based materials could transform the future of sustainable packaging. Imagine a world where packaging doesn't end up stranded on beaches, but instead safely dissolves back into nature. That's the future Neha is working toward.Neha shares her journey from working at Google to building Zerocirlce, a company focused on developing natural polymer materials from seaweed as an alternative to plastic packaging. This conversation dives deep into material science, the challenges of scaling sustainable packaging solutions, and why true sustainability must work commercially, not just environmentally.Together, Ved and Neha discuss:- How seaweed is used to create home-compostable packaging materials- The science behind natural polymers and plastic alternatives- Why collaboration is critical in the sustainable materials ecosystem- What it takes to scale climate-positive solutions globally- Why “good garbage” means designing systems where waste doesn't existZerocircle's vision goes beyond packaging aiming to become a core material provider for manufacturers worldwide, helping reduce plastic waste at scale. → Find out more about Zerocirlce: https://www.zerocircle.in/

In the 1990s, we were promised that the internet was going to decentralize wealth and power. How did we end up with what feels like the exact opposite of that? Tim Wu, author of the new book, The Age of Extraction — an examination of how tech platforms extract value, shape attention, and concentrate power — joined Bradley earlier this month for a live discussion at P&T Knitwear, moderated by Nate Loewentheil, Managing Partner of Commonweal Ventures. "If you look through the history of democracy turning into dictatorship," says Wu, "a lot of it goes through the path of monopolization of key industries, the build-up of a huge amount of wealth and an anger among the people. When democracy cannot fix that or make the system seem fair, the strong man has a lot of appeal."This episode was taped at P&T Knitwear at 180 Orchard Street — New York City's only free podcast recording studio.Send us an email with your thoughts on today's episode: info@firewall.media.Be sure to watch Bradley's TED Talk on Mobile Voting at https://go.ted.com/bradleytusk.Subscribe to Bradley's weekly newsletter and follow Bradley on Linkedin + Substack + YouTube.

Air Date: 1/9/2026 The Republican Party has been angry about every government service and regulation designed to help average people for at least the past 90 years. And, given any opportunity to hobble or destroy any of those services or regulations in the past decades, they've done just that. Now, after 15 years of striving to destroy the Affordable Care Act - itself originally a conservative plan from the Heritage Foundation (not joking) - they're using the cult-like hold that Trump has on the party to move faster and more recklessly than they are usually able. And again, average people are going to pay the price in both dollars and deaths. Be part of the show!
