Imaginez publier un livre de 200 pages… sans écrire un seul mot. Puis réussir malgré tout à le faire entrer parmi les meilleures ventes d'Amazon. C'est exactement le genre de coup dont s'est fait une spécialité l'entrepreneur britannique Shed Simove.Sheridan « Shed » Simove n'est pas seulement entrepreneur. Il a également travaillé dans la production télévisuelle britannique, notamment autour d'émissions comme Big Brother, avant de se spécialiser dans les inventions insolites, les objets humoristiques et surtout les opérations marketing capables d'attirer l'attention. Il a étudié la psychologie expérimentale à Oxford, ce qui donne un contraste assez amusant avec les produits volontairement absurdes qui feront ensuite sa réputation.Son coup le plus célèbre est probablement un livre publié sous le titre What Every Man Thinks About Apart From Sex, que l'on pourrait traduire par : « Ce à quoi pensent les hommes à part le sexe ».Le livre fait environ 200 pages.Et elles sont toutes… entièrement blanches.La plaisanterie est donc évidente : les hommes ne penseraient à rien d'autre. Mais le plus étonnant est que le gag fonctionne commercialement. Le livre atteint le top 50 des ventes d'Amazon britannique et est publié dans plusieurs pays. Des étudiants commencent même à l'utiliser comme simple carnet de notes.Simove récidive ensuite en profitant du succès mondial de Fifty Shades of Grey. Il publie Fifty Shades of Gray. Mais là encore, aucun roman. Son ouvrage contient 200 pages vierges déclinées progressivement en cinquante nuances de gris, du plus clair au plus sombre. La quatrième de couverture promet même que le contenu devient « de plus en plus sombre ». La plaisanterie attire tellement l'attention que Random House, l'éditeur de Fifty Shades of Grey, lui adresse une mise en demeure.En 2017, nouvelle idée : Shinder, une parodie de Tinder. Le principe est génialement narcissique : sur cette application de rencontre, un seul homme est disponible… Shed Simove lui-même. Les utilisatrices peuvent donc faire défiler son profil, mais n'ont aucun concurrent masculin à choisir. Le projet devient rapidement viral.Shed Simove est ainsi devenu une sorte de spécialiste du marketing par l'absurde. Ses inventions ne cherchent pas nécessairement à résoudre un problème. Elles doivent surtout provoquer une réaction immédiate : rire, étonnement ou indignation.Et c'est peut-être là son véritable talent : comprendre qu'à l'ère de l'attention, une idée suffisamment simple et surprenante peut parfois valoir davantage qu'un produit sophistiqué.

Lack, Leder, Peitschen, Seile, Handschellen, Seilzüge – BDSM hat offensichtlich wenig mit dem gemütlichen Beischlafritual zu tun, das geübte Paare am Sonntagabend zwischen Traumschiff und Tiefschlafphase abhaken.Auf der einen Seite ist die Vorstellung, sich kopfüber an einen Baum ketten zu lassen natürlich wenig attraktiv für jemanden, der schon über ne Krankschreibung nachdenkt, wenn er sich den Gaumen an einem heißen Ofenbaguette verbrannt hat.Auf der anderen Seite will man da doch mal wenigstens durchs Schlüsselloch gucken.Das Flexikon war beim BDSM-Stammtisch. „Afterwork Meet & Play“.Ein Austausch unter Doms und Subs, Bunnys, Brats und Neueinsteiger :innen, anschließend praktische Übungen am Gerät.Anne und Steffi waren vom Scheitel bis zur Sohle auf erotische Grenzerfahrung eingestellt. Am Ende gabs noch mehr: Einen Einblick in eine Gemeinschaft, in der Vertrauen und Offenheit das oberste Gebot ist, die Erkenntnis, dass der Dresscode Lack und Leder gar nicht verpflichtend ist (man kann seine Sub auch in der Fleeceweste verschnüren), dass BDSM keine Altersgrenze nach oben kennt, und vor allen Dingen, dass Sex und BDSM bei einigen fein säuberlich getrennt voneinander stattfinden.Hier die üblichen wissenschaftlichen Quellen:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28781214/What to Understand About People Who Enjoy BDSM and Kink Psychology Todayhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1743609515304471?utmUnd unser Podcasttipp: Zeitkapsel von NDR Kulturhttps://www.ardsounds.de/episode/urn:ard:episode:5077147baa75436f/flexikon@ndr.de(00:00:00) Intro(00:01:21) Besuch beim BDSM-Stammtisch – Vorstellung des Abends (00:02:37) Kurzdefinition BDSM & persönliche Vorurteile der Moderatorinnen (00:06:44) Wissenschaftliche Fakten & Verbreitung von BDSM in der Bevölkerung (00:10:00) Ankunft im BDSM-Club – erste Eindrücke & Beschreibung der Location (00:12:00) Newcomer-Runde: Vorstellung der Teilnehmenden (00:19:27) Führung durch den Club – Räume, Ausstattung & Atmosphäre (00:23:04) Wie haben die Teilnehmenden ihren Kink entdeckt?

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

In this episode of Fifty Shades of Green, hosts Adam Lake and Katie Lanegran sit down with Lisa Sachs, Director of the Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment and lead of Columbia's M.S. in Climate Finance at Columbia Climate School, for a candid, wide-ranging conversation about net zero, carbon markets, and what it will actually take to decarbonize the global economy. Against a backdrop of record heat, wildfires, storms and smoky skies, the trio wrestles with a central question: has the language and practice of “net zero” helped — or distracted — the climate movement?Lisa opens by clarifying what net zero really means: an atmospheric goal to balance emissions and sinks. She argues that the way net zero has been popularized — as an entity-level target for companies, cities or countries — is misleading and often counterproductive. Rather than driving systemic decarbonization, entity-level promises too frequently rely on offsets and voluntary carbon markets, allowing emitters to claim neutrality without changing underlying systems. Lisa worries voluntary markets are largely driven by methodological flaws and middlemen profit, and that offsets cannot substitute for actual decarbonization everywhere. Adam and Katie push back and probe implications, including whether the net zero framing could be a cynical distraction — Lisa admits that while conspiracy is tempting, institutional inertia and misunderstanding of systems are more likely culprits.The conversation pivots to solutions-oriented thinking. Lisa is optimistic about the present moment: decarbonized systems for energy, transport, buildings and industry are now often cheaper, more resilient, and superior on performance — they are “better systems.” The barrier is not technology but coordination, planning, policy enablers and financing structures, especially in emerging markets. She emphasizes that while private capital can and should drive many transitions, nature and resilience must be treated as public goods requiring public finance. Rather than obsessing over terminology or expecting COP negotiations to design and implement systems, Lisa urges practical, sectoral, regionally tailored solutions developed in the year between COPs and then brought to the global stage for political validation and scale.Adam and Katie reflect on messaging and politics: why “net zero” has become a loaded phrase and how consumer-focused narratives (you must sacrifice) have undermined public support. They highlight the need to shift discourse toward the tangible, everyday benefits of better systems — cheaper energy, reliable grids, improved appliances, and jobs — drawing parallels with how LEDs and EVs moved from niche statements to mainstream, nonpartisan technologies. The hosts also discuss the role of fossil fuels in emerging economies and the unfair financing barriers that make leapfrogging to clean systems difficult; Lisa insists we should enable scalable, financeable clean infrastructure rather than concede fossil dependence.Throughout, the tone balances critique and constructive optimism: the net zero construct may be flawed, but the transition to a cleaner, fairer, more prosperous world is feasible and economically compelling. The episode closes with a call to reframe the work: focus on building the better systems we need, redesign financing and policy levers to unlock them globally — especially in fast-growing emerging markets — and use forums like COP to scale proven solutions rather than invent them.Listeners will come away with a sharper understanding of the limits of carbon offsets, a clearer picture of what “net zero” should mean, and practical hope: we know what systems to build, the barriers we must remove, and how collective, cross-disciplinary action can make a decarbonized future both attainable and beneficial for everyone.

Tennessee (2008) wraps up our slightly delayed second 'not like other movies' month. We had to change it from quirky month because Calum decided to slot in a film about a cult. It is what it is. To make up for it, we have a half-hour special of the Calum listens to and describes the Fifty Shades series.

On this episode of Fifty Shades of Green, Adam Lake and Katie Lanegran dive into the intersection of theatre and climate with Molly Braverman, Executive Director of the Broadway Green Alliance. If you love Broadway — or care about practical climate action — this conversation reveals how the theatrical world backstage and onstage is being transformed to reduce emissions, cut waste, and inspire audiences.Molly explains Broadway Green Alliance's two-part mission: make theatre operations more sustainable (lower emissions, boost circularity, change backstage practices) and use the cultural power of Broadway to reach audiences with climate solutions. She walks us through concrete, replicable programs that show sustainability can be both creative and cost-effective — and often a better business decision.Highlights from the episode:Green Captains: A volunteer program with over 1,600 green captains across Broadway, touring productions, colleges, unions, and community theatres. These sustainability champions receive department-specific toolkits and one-on-one support to implement changes that fit each show's needs, from stage management to props.Rechargeable batteries at Wicked: A striking example of impact — Wicked moved from 15,000 single-use alkaline batteries per year to 96 rechargeable batteries, dramatically reducing e-waste and costs while maintaining show safety.LED marquees: A Broadway-wide transition from incandescent bulbs to LEDs has saved over 10,000 tons of carbon to date and delivered substantial financial savings while preserving the iconic look of Times Square.Front-of-house and dressing room changes: From reusable glassware and reusable “sippy” cups to composting in dressing rooms, Molly shares how small visible shifts reduce waste and normalize sustainable behavior for audiences and performers alike.Circular programs and collections: BGA runs specialty collections (flowers and vases, instrument strings, binders and props) partnering with organizations like TerraCycle, D'Addario, Materials for the Arts, and local florists to keep materials in use across the community.Binder lending library: A Midtown lending system for binders (complete with library slips) to reduce single-use purchases for readings and rehearsals — a charming example of theatre's inherently reuse-friendly culture.Audience engagement & storytelling: BGA leverages Broadway's reach — from Earth Month concerts in Times Square to livestreamed events — to educate and inspire audiences. Molly describes using existing shows to “tell climate stories” and creating short climate-themed pieces (e.g., a 30-minute “Climate Talk” with showtune puns) to meet people where they are.Global connections: BGA collaborates with international counterparts (Julie's Bicycle, Theatre Green Book) to share best practices and amplify the performing arts sector's climate leadership worldwide.How to get involved: Molly invites theatre professionals, students, and fans to join BGA's free membership, follow @BroadwayGreenAlliance on social, sign up for the quarterly newsletter, attend public drives in Times Square, or support local theatres by asking what they're doing to be greener.Throughout the episode, Adam, Katie, and Molly keep the chat lively, full of theatre nerd energy and practical optimism. Whether you're a stage manager curious about digitizing paperwork, a performer wanting to start a compost routine, a fan wondering about reusable cups, or a student pursuing theatre and climate studies, this episode shows there's a place for you in the movement — and that “every job is a climate job.”Find out more at BroadwayGreen.com or follow Broadway Green Alliance on Instagram.

In this episode of 50 Shades of Green, hosts Adam and Katie chat with Cecilia Brenner, Managing Director of Design for Good, about how design skills are being mobilized globally to tackle the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Design for Good is a global non-profit that convenes a global alliance of companies, design schools and NGOs to co-create open-source solutions for real community problems. Cecilia explains their two-year SDG cycles (past: clean water & sanitation; current: quality education; upcoming: people and planet health combining SDGs 3 & 13), and how local NGOs provide briefs and community access while volunteer designers form cross-functional task forces to prototype, validate and implement solutions.Key themes:Open-source approach: How alliance members waive IP so solutions can be adapted and scaled, shifting from ownership to shared impact.Practical impact: Learning about campaigns like a water-saving social media initiative which reached millions;Design practices: How they co-design with communities, systems thinking, life-centered and regenerative design, and treating climate impacts as design constraints rather than afterthoughts.Capacity-building: Updates of how a partnership with the Royal College of Art and the Design for Good Academy has trained over 1,200 designers to design for measurable impact, including sustainability and AI ethics topics.Scale and ambition: Find out how over 2,000 designers mobilized across 30 countries with a goal to improve 10 million lives and help regenerate the planet by 2030.

Bible experts have long been confused as to why the chapters at the end of the Book of Ezekiel go into such granular detail about a building which, over 2500 years later, has yet to be constructed.It's one of the marvels of the Bible, and sits surprisingly comfortably in a book that has a man lie on one side for over a year, who is ordered to cook on a fire made from his own poo, whose wife is killed to make a point about the fall of Jerusalem, who describes women so debauched that it puts Fifty Shades of Grey in the shade, oh, and who sees the kneebone connected to the thighbone. I'm actually sad we're getting to the end of Ezekiel's book, and I hope you're enjoying it as much as I am.Written and produced by Chas BayfieldMusic by Michael Auld and Jon Hawkins MusicCover art by Lisa GoffE: contact@whollybuyable.comX: Wholly Buyable PodcastConversions9in = 23cm21in = 53cm42in = 1m0715ft = 4.5m24.5ft = 7.5m30ft = 9m75ft = 23m150ft = 46m750ft = 230m3D video render of Ezekiel's temple: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQRegCrJHzkHow the altar looked: https://in.pinterest.com/pin/51298883249768377/

Long before publishing executives "discovered" the internet, a very dedicated group of fans had already built their own literary universe complete with sacred terminology, power hierarchies, and enough drama to make the actual source material blush. This week, Reese and Iman sit down with the iconic Christina Lauren duo, Christina Hobbs and Lauren Billings (@christinalauren), to dissect fanfiction's glow-up from AO3 comment sections to genuine big business. We're getting into the culty dialect (slash, ship AU, canon, OTP), the plagiarism scandals, the parasocial power trips, and the Fifty Shades pipeline that proved E.L. James wasn't the only one who could monetize her Twilight feelings. Press play, culties, your kudos await.
