Day 1,585.After a weekend that saw Ukraine's Constitution Day celebrated with yet more lengthy queues at petrol stations in Russia and Crimea – a situation not helped by Russian oil refineries continuing to self-sanction – Putin shrugs that these ‘difficult' days are just a speed bump on the road to inevitable victory. Dom and Francis ponder on Alexander Lukashenko's slightly odd weekend jaunt to China via Putin's lakeside retreat in Valdai – at least we now know what all the extra air defence was shipped in for – and ask, is he looking for a new best friend? And finally, after news of a mass shooting in the northern German city of Stade, they speak to Berlin correspondent James Rothwell who has been reporting on NATO preparations for a possible future Battle of the Baltics.Contributors:Francis Dearnley (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @FrancisDearnley on X.Dominic Nicholls (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @DomNicholls on X.James Rothwell (Berlin Correspondent). @JamesERothwell on X.Producer: Rachel PorterSenior Producer: Lilian FawcettVideo Producer: Sophie O'SullivanSocial Producer: Gabby ColvinStudio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Editor: Francis DearnleyCreated by David KnowlesNOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.

Grass season is about halfway done, and I don't know what's going on with the WTA (wishing them luck). Big results for Noskova – who just debuted in the top 10 – plus Robin Montgomery, Ben Shelton, Donna Vekic, and the Frans! The news that Serena Williams received the remaining Wimbledon singles wild card trumped everything this week, while her husband hung out at Trump's UFC abomination. Recent Wimbledon champ Marketa Vondrousova was given a 4-year suspension for refusing a doping test in December, a decision that will almost certainly be appealed. Lastly, we give some final thoughts on the Knicks and go down the Stevie rabbit hole again. 1:00 Yep, that singles wild card was for #thismama 14:10 Berlin bagel + it was a good week to be a Fran 24:30 Previous week's results: s-'Hertogenbosch, Stuttgart, Queen's 27:30 Diving into Marketa Vondrousova's 4-year suspension 36:30 Alexis, your presence wasn't actually required 40:50 Corentin Moutet gives up his prize money for what, exactly? 43:00 Catching up with the Knicks and Victor Wembanyama 48:20 Remembering Peabo and igniting the Stevie discussion again
Join the Veterans Breakfast Club for a special VBC LIVE program on Monday, June 22 at 7pm ET exploring the history and human experience of the Berlin Airlift—one of the defining moments of the early Cold War. In June 1948, the Soviet Union blockaded West Berlin, cutting off food, fuel, and supplies to more than two million civilians. Rather than abandon the city or risk war, the United States and its allies launched a massive airlift—flying around the clock to keep Berlin alive. For nearly a year, aircraft landed every few minutes, delivering coal, food, and hope to a city under siege. This program brings together those who lived this history—and those working to preserve it. We're honored to welcome Bibi LeBlanc, a native of West Berlin and founder of Voices of the Berlin Airlift, an oral history project gathering memories from Berliners, veterans, and families connected to the Airlift. Bibi is racing to capture these stories while firsthand voices are still with us—and invites others to contribute. We'll also hear from Dagmar Weiss Snodgrass, a Berlin child who lived through the Airlift and paid tribute to famed Airlift pilot Gail Halvorsen, Uncle Wiggly Wings: My Love and Admiration for Berlin's Candy Bomber. Also joining us is Ralph Dionne, who served at Rhein-Main Air Base in 1948 as both an aircraft mechanic and later a flight engineer on C-54 transport aircraft. Ralph completed 74 missions into Berlin and logged 300 flight hours, offering a rare, firsthand view of the precision and discipline required to sustain the Airlift from both the ground and the cockpit. Joining them is Denise Halvorsen Williams, daughter of Colonel Gail S. Halvorsen—the “Candy Bomber” whose small parachutes of sweets brought joy to Berlin's children. Through her work with the Candy Bomber Foundation, Denise carries forward a legacy of compassion that reminds us how small acts can resonate across generations. We also invite anyone with personal or family connections to the Berlin Airlift—pilots, ground crew, Berlin civilians, or descendants—to join the conversation and share their stories. #BerlinAirlift #ColdWarHistory #VeteransStories #OralHistory #CandyBomber #BerlinHistory #USAirForceHistory #MilitaryHistory #WWIIAftermath #VBC #VeteransBreakfastClub

Recorded live at EIC 2026 in Berlin, Jeff and Jim sit down with Martin Sandren, IAM Product Lead at IKEA, for a wide-ranging conversation covering nearly every corner of modern identity security. Martin shares what has changed since his first IDAC appearance on episode 293, including the rise of AI, growing interest in digital sovereignty, and the maturing shared signals framework. The conversation moves through risk-based defense in depth, tiered MFA rollout strategies, session management, and the real challenge of trusting AI to make security decisions. Martin introduces identity dark matter and explains how IVIP can surface the 95-plus percent of applications that never reach an IGA system. The episode also covers shadow AI, MCP server risks, the SaaSpocalypse debate, and the EU AI Act.

The concept to which The Rascals were dedicated was, in Felix Cavaliere's words, "Marvin Gaye's voice, Ray Charles' piano, Jimmy Smith's organ, Phil Spector's production and The Beatles' writing. Put them all together and you've got what I wanted to do." A White Rock band playing Black Soul music was a new idea for Pop in 1965. "The great thing about music in the 1960s was that people were discovering there was no color barrier in the business. We were respected by the Black groups we loved as much as we respected them," noted Cornish. The Rascals' music was dubbed blue-eyed Soul, a term Cavaliere never cared for. "I always hated the label because it created a separation between Black and White music. It was a marketing concept. As soon as you put a drum in music, it's R&B. I wish it wouldn't have been called blue-eyed Soul. My eyes aren't blue."The band's first release for Atlantic was called "I Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore" which rose to #52 in the U.S. in 1965, but it was their 1966 effort, "Good Lovin'" that made them Rock 'n' Roll stars. The song quickly rose to the number one spot on Billboard's Hot 100 and went Gold. They followed with two more Top 20 hits, "You Better Run" (#20) and "I've Been Lonely Too Long" (#16) later the same year.The writing was a key component of the band's success, as sixteen of their eighteen chart records were written by Cavaliere alone or in tandem with frequent collaborator Eddie Brigati. As the song writing progressed, social commentary began to show up in the music. The group's growing ambition was reflected in the change from The Young Rascals to simply The Rascals. The word "young" had originally been inserted before the band's name for legal reasons. It seems there was a group named Johnny Pulleo & The Harmonica Rascals who claimed a proprietary interest. "We were embarrassed about that, 'cause we were trying to be a Soul band," said Cornish. "It wasn't The Silver Rascals or The Rockin' Rascals, it was The Young Rascals! And we had to live with it. By the time we got to Groovin', we said, 'Well, enough of this. We are The Rascals.'"A high point for both Cornish and Cavaliere was 1968's #1 hit "People Got To Be Free". "The message in songs like 'People Got To Be Free' is as important now as it ever was," said Gene. It was written in reaction to the King and Kennedy assassinations that year. In fact, Cavaliere had worked for the RFK campaign. "That the song was #1 in places like Berlin and South Africa meant a lot to me," said Felix. Despite the initial resistance to the political nature of the song, it went on to become The Rascals' biggest-selling record. It was also their last #1 hit. The Rascals followed with "A Ray Of Hope" (#24 in 1968), "Heaven" (#39 in 1969), "See" (#27 in 1969) and "Carry Me Back" (#26 in 1969). Two other 1970 releases, "Hold On" (#81) and "Glory Glory" (#71) failed to crack the Top 40, and a song called "Love Me" was a miserable flop when it peaked at #99 during a one week stay on the Hot 100 in the Summer of 1971. The Jazz-tinged experimentation of later albums like "Peaceful World" and "The Island Of Real" (which Cavaliere once called "The best record I ever made") proved less commercial than the group's earlier Garage Band Soul. Management was less than supportive of the new directions the band was headed in and a switch to the Columbia label in 1971 failed to provide the new life they were looking for. Personal frictions were on the rise too, and eventually Brigati and Cornish quit the band. They were replaced with Buzzy Feiten (from The Paul Butterfield Blues Band) and Ann Sutton, who had sung with various Soul and Jazz groups in Philadelphia. By 1972, The Rascals called it quits.
Artist and film-maker Lauren J. Joseph's first novel At Certain Points We Touch, described by Olivia Laing as ‘A stone-cold masterpiece' was hailed as a Debut Novel of the Year by the Observer in 2022. Her second novel takes us from the night-spots of Soho to the febrile Berlin music scene. A story of obsession and excess, doppelgängers and disassociation, fame and the terrible things we do to feel loved, Lean Cat, Savage Cat (Bloomsbury) is an unforgettable novel from one of the most exciting writers at work today. The author was in conversation about her book with Olivia Laing, who describes it as ‘An erotic spectacular of self-creation and spiralling disintegration.'

Justin: [2:12] At least that's how I describe myself. Isi: [2:13] So, I was once only in the U.S but like for five weeks or so. Which is 10 years ago, oh god. And it was with Easy German, we did a tour, a great tour from New York via some like countryside, Virginia to Colorado and from Colorado with a car to California so, a really really cool tour. But what we did on the way is a lot of videos about being in the U.S and we did this video about like, where we shared our three things that we like, three things that we don't like, or things that would surprise us. And I literally found the list that I wrote back then on the road trip, can you imagine? - Exciting. - Yeah. And I was a bit surprised myself, what I wrote down. But I thought I'd share it. Mitch: [3:00] Yes so Isi's gonna... you're gonna read some of those out and I'm gonna... I also have been like, recently and then a long time ago um and there's some things which I sort of always kept in my mind, like experiences, stories and little notes I'd sort of, mentally made. Isi: [3:16] So, should I start? Justin: [3:18] Yes, I'm excited to hear. Mitch: [3:21] And Justin, maybe you can go into it, explain why, these cultural phenomenons, or whatever Isi is going to say, and maybe because you have an inside eye from all three places, can sort of, compare your experiences.

Serena Williams will be back at Wimbledon playing singles for the first time since 2022!At 44 years old, she played some really good tennis with Mboko before the Canadian injured her knee at Queens. This decision to come back and even play singles at the most well-known tennis tournament in the world is intriguing: what does she want to get from this?While it's practically impossible to see Serena winning Wimbledon, especially after her last win coming seven years ago, plus her age, I still can't complain. She will be back, she will be roaring, involved and full of energy in a way only Serena Williams can be.I hope for at least one win. It will be EPIC.I also talk a bit about how so many promising young women are making good progress on the grass this year, notably Berlin champion Linda Noskova, Berlin semi-finalist (l. Noskova) Alex Eala, and 2021 US Open champion Emma Raducanu. All players with very different styles, different career trajectories, but with great potential to make the next 10-15 years at the WTA be really awesome and competitive.Favourite this podcast if you like our work :)SUBSCRIBE to the YouTube channel!Follow TENNIS AND BAGELS!Twitter/X: https://x.com/TennisAndBAGELSAndre:Twitter/X - https://x.com/RolembergAndreBlueSky Social: https://bsky.app/profile/andrerolemberg.bsky.socialVansh: https://x.com/vanshv2kOwen (BlueSky Social): https://bsky.app/profile/owensports.bsky.socialSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/tennis-and-bagels.

Last chance to join the free masterclass “Expat Decision Limbo - The 4 Shifts to Get Out” - Sign up here!Laura had been living in Berlin for more than nine years, but after returning from a three-month sabbatical, she realized she couldn't ignore the feeling anymore. She was deeply unhappy in her corporate job and knew she wanted to move back to the UK - but instead of taking action, she found herself stuck in a cycle of overthinking, overworking, and waiting for life to change.For two years, she poured all her energy into a job that no longer fulfilled her, while putting her own dreams on hold. She wanted someone - or something - to come along and change her situation for her.Fast forward to today, and while Laura is still living in Berlin, everything has changed. She's back in the driver's seat of her life, creating the life she wants now instead of waiting until after the move, and confidently working towards her next chapter in the UK.Listen to this episode to hear how Laura shifted from waiting to taking action - and why small steps can completely change the direction of your life.Links & Resources:
David Kessler is one of the world's best-known experts on grief, yet nothing could prepare him for the loss of his beloved son at the age of 21. Just as he'd advised his clients for decades, David attended grief groups, saw a therapist and sat with his pain. In this episode, Andrew and David discuss how society wants us to grieve versus the reality of loss. We will likely never “get over” the loss of someone close to us, nor will we learn life lessons that somehow compensate us for our pain. It is possible, though, to locate meaning in how we survive and experience loss. Andrew and David also explore Elisabeth Kübler-Ross's famous and now much contested “five stages of grief” (denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance) and discuss how useful they are in today's landscape. David Kessler's new book is Finding Meaning:The Sixth Stage of Grief. His previous books have been praised by Saint (Mother) Theresa, and Elisabeth Kübler-Ross. He has co-authored two books with Louise Hay and Elisabeth Kübler-Ross. David also creates online communities who take courses together to learn more about the process of grieving.

Vor mehr als 3000 Jahren beschließt eine Gruppe bronzezeitlicher Siedler, sich auf einem Hügel nahe des Tibers niederzulassen. Die Lage ist günstig und so wird aus kleinen Siedlungen nach und nach eine Stadt - Rom ist geboren. Die ewige Stadt ist anfangs noch eine unbedeutende Regionalmacht. Doch als Rom zur Republik wird, seine Institutionen begründet und eine einzigartige Mentalität aufbaut, beginnt ein unwiderstehlicher Aufstieg, der die Welt verändern wird……..Das Folgenbild zeigt die berühmte Figur der Wölfin, die Romulus und Remus säugt (entstanden im Mittelalter).…..LITERATURGehrke, Hans-Joachim; Schneider, Helmuth: Geschichte der Antike.

Smart Agency Masterclass with Jason Swenk: Podcast for Digital Marketing Agencies
Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Are you trying to sell a service so specialized that closing new clients feels like it can only come from you? What do you think about how AI is reshaping your industry and where that leaves the human at the center of it? Today's featured guest came up through luxury automotive, spent years learning how cultural nuance can derail a campaign that looks perfect on paper, and built a niche precise enough that she can spot from two miles away when someone writing about influencer marketing has never actually run a campaign. In this episode, she'll discuss what makes international influencer work fundamentally different from domestic campaigns and what AI-generated influencers mean for an industry built on human authenticity. Jeanette Okwu is the founder and CEO of Beyond Influence, an influencer marketing agency based in Berlin. Her background spans social media strategy, brand research, and influencer marketing across luxury automotive brands including Jaguar Land Rover and Mercedes-Benz. That global scope became the foundation for her agency's core differentiation: running influencer campaigns that actually account for cultural nuance in each market rather than pushing a headquarters strategy downward and hoping it lands. In this episode, we'll discuss: Building international campaigns understanding regional nuances How to overcome the expert-owner bottleneck problem Can AI influencers replace real ones?

Ready to design faster and smarter? Go to wix.com/studio to get started. Why International Campaigns Break When You Treat Every Market the Same Early in her career, Jeanette managed 24 markets at Jaguar Land Rover, which helped her understand that what works in one country does not translate by default. A TV spot that runs cleanly in Europe cannot air in the Middle East if it shows upper arms or alcohol. A campaign strategy built at headquarters and handed down to regional teams will get implemented, but it will not perform, because every market has cultural specifics that only someone operating inside that market will catch. The agency she built is the direct expression of that knowledge. Beyond Influence does not run German campaigns and call it international work. It builds campaigns from the ground up with an understanding of how audiences in each target market actually consume content and what they expect from the creators they follow. That distinction is hard to replicate without the years of field experience behind it, and it is exactly the kind of institutional knowledge that becomes a real moat when the rest of the market is running generic global strategies. The Sales Bottleneck That Comes With Deep Expertise Jeanette is candid about where she is stuck: sales still runs through her. This is something she has tried to change, but influencer marketing is still a new enough discipline that clients want to hear from someone who demonstrably knows what they are talking about. She frames it as expertise selling and she is probably right that some of it is structural to the space. But she also hears herself in the answer, acknowledging a degree of control that she knows is not fully serving the agency's ability to grow. The necessary shift in cases like this doesn't point toward finding a salesperson who already knows influencer marketing. The real solution will come from finding someone with the right consultative instincts and then giving them the success stories and methodology that let them carry the conversation. Such is the case of Darby, our agency scale specialist, who did not know what an agency was before joining the team. What he had was the ability to listen, qualify, and translate client pain into a path forward. That skill can be trained on the specifics. The instinct behind it cannot. What AI Influencers Actually Mean for the Industry Jeanette knows the question that is currently on every client's mind: will AI-generated influencers replace the real ones? Her answer is more nuanced than the headlines. AI avatars already perform comparably to human creators on certain content types. Brands are building owned avatars that show up on time, never gain weight, never create a scandal, and can post from six locations simultaneously without a travel budget. That part of the market is real and growing. What AI cannot replicate is the reason people follow a creator in the first place. The parasocial relationship that makes influencer marketing work is built on the sense that the person on screen is real and reachable. When a follower knows they will never be able to meet the creator, the connection breaks. That is the line Jeanette draws: AI content can perform well for product exposure, but for the kind of community trust that turns followers into buyers over time, the human at the center still matters. The agencies that understand where that line sits will be the ones helping brands draw it correctly rather than chasing the cost savings of going fully artificial before the audience has stopped caring about the difference.

WTA Weekly: Noskova wins Berlin, Bouzkova seals Nottingham title | Eala heads to Bad Homburg after Berlin heroics | Serena Williams to play Wimbledon singles | Sabalenka woes continueThis week on WTA Weekly, @nickbc30 and @aces_and_faults break down a huge grass-court weekend as rising Czech star Linda Noskova captured the biggest title of her career at the Berlin Open, defeating Jessica Pegula in a three-set final to claim her first grass-court trophy and move into the WTA Top 10 for the first time. Nick and Amanda also discussed Marie Bouzkova's title-winning run in Nottingham and what it means heading into Wimbledon, while Filipino sensation Alexandra Eala continues to turn heads after a breakthrough Berlin campaign that included wins over top players before her semifinal run ended against Noskova. With Bad Homburg next on her schedule, we assess whether another deep run is on the cards. Plus, the tennis world is buzzing over Serena Williams return to Wimbledon singles competition, and we examine what that could mean for the tournament and her legacy. We also take a closer look at the worrying trend surrounding world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, whose grass-court preparations suffered a setback after a semifinal defeat to Jessica Pegula in Berlin. Is it merely a bump in the road, or a genuine concern ahead of SW19? All that and more as Wimbledon fever builds on this week's episode of WTA Weekly.
Willkommen zur neuen Ausgabe von Chip & Charge – dieses Mal mit den letzten großen Vorbereitungsturnieren vor Wimbledon. Die Sieger und Siegerinnen waren dabei teilweise überraschend. Doch das gehört ja zum Rasen schon fast obligatorisch dazu. In Berlin konnte sich Linda Noskova den Titel holen. Sie pflügte teilweise durch das Feld. Vor allem der erste Aufschlag war unantastbar für die meisten Gegnerinnen. Im Finale gewann sie gegen Jessica Pegula, der zuvor im Halbfinale gegen Aryna Sabalenka ein klarer Sieg gelungen war. Vor allem der Bagel im dritten Satz war beeindruckend. Auch sonst war fast die ganze Weltspitze in Berlin anwesend. Für Elena Rybakina ...

War ja klar! Da hat das Buch so gut vorgelegt, da muss Laura sich eine Verfilmung ansehen, die grundsätzlich alles irgendwie falsch macht. Und trotzdem wurden alle acht Folgen geschaut, in einer Zeit, in der für sowas doch eigentlich gar keine Zeit ist. Simon hat derweil ein großes Bett mit Kopfteil (selbst ausgesucht!) und ist bereit, jetzt lesend seinen Tag zu beginnen & zu beenden. Und Lesen ist gut, immerhin hat ihn eine Buchheldin zum Kochen animiert. Nicht gut, aber immerhin wurde gekocht. Dann ist da noch das Thema Sport, das eine von den beiden mehr einnimmt und für Gefühle sorgt. Und: Es gibt einen Ausblick auf den Sommer. Das Sommerferienlager kommt!
À l'heure des fake news, il faut lire Marc Bloch et ses Réflexions d'un historien sur les fausses nouvelles de la Grande guerre ou encore L'Étrange défaite, témoignage écrit dans l'été 40 où s'exerce son art de la critique historique en partant du temps présent pour mieux appréhender le passé, avec humanité. Pionnier de l'Histoire moderne, témoin de son propre temps, Marc Bloch est un ancien combattant de la Première Guerre mondiale, engagé volontaire en 1940 à l'âge de 53 ans. L'historien combattant entre dans la résistance active dès 1943 au sein du mouvement Franc-Tireur dans la région Rhône-Alpes. Finalement arrêté et torturé par la Gestapo sur dénonciation, Marc Bloch est fusillé à Saint-Didier-de-Formans, le 16 juin 1944, par les nazis. Père et mari aimant, époux de Simonne, Marc Bloch a choisi de sacrifier sa vie pour la Patrie, celle que sa famille juive alsacienne a choisie en 1870 : la France. Pour son entrée au Panthéon avec son épouse Simonne Vidal, nous écoutons les mots de Marc Bloch dans la voix de la comédienne Anne Alvaro - enregistrée aux Rendez-vous de l'Histoire de Blois 2025- avec nos invités Matis Bloch, son arrière-petit-fils et l'historienne Annette Becker, ainsi que les lauréats du Concours lycéen Franco-Allemand Marc Bloch organisé par le Centre Marc Bloch de Berlin dans un reportage de Pascal Thibault, notre correspondant en Allemagne. Avec tous nos remerciements aux Rendez-vous de l'Histoire de Blois pour la performance Marc Bloch l'Homme, l'Historien et tout particulièrement à la comédienne Anne Alvaro. ► Les livres de Marc Bloch cités dans l'émission : Réflexions d'un historien sur les fausses nouvelles de la guerre, aux éditions Dunod « Les fausses nouvelles, dans toute la multiplicité de leurs formes – simples racontars, impostures, légendes – ont rempli la vie de l'humanité. Comment naissent-elles ? De quels éléments tirent-elles leur substance ? Comment se propagent-elles, gagnant en ampleur à mesure qu'elles passent de bouche en bouche ou d'écrit en écrit ? Nulle question plus que celles-là ne mérite de passionner quiconque aime à réfléchir sur l'histoire. » Marc Bloch a été un combattant de la Grande Guerre. Mais, au milieu des combats, il n'a jamais oublié de s'interroger sur la source des informations qui parcouraient les tranchées : d'où venaient-elles et pourquoi de fausses nouvelles avaient-elles tant de succès ? En 1921, il interpelle ses contemporains avec un article court et éclairant dont la réflexion est toujours d'actualité. Les rois thaumaturges, aux éditions Gallimard De 1944, date de sa mort héroïque, au début des années 1970, Marc Bloch est surtout apparu comme le cofondateur (avec Lucien Febvre) de la revue Annales, qui renouvela la méthode historique, et l'auteur d'une grande synthèse, La Société féodale (1939-1940). Depuis une dizaine d'années, les historiens et les chercheurs en Sciences humaines et sociales pensent de plus en plus que le grand livre de Marc Bloch, c'est son premier vrai livre : Les rois thaumaturges (1924). Il est consacré à l'étude d'un rite curieux : la guérison miraculeuse, par simple toucher des mains, des écrouelles ou scrofules (adénite tuberculeuse). L'attribution de ce pouvoir aux rois de France et d'Angleterre remonte probablement au XIIè siècle ; elle va durer en Angleterre jusqu'au début du XVIIIè siècle, en France jusqu'en 1825, date du sacre de Charles X. Comment se déroulait le rituel du toucher royal ? Quelle était la vraie nature du pouvoir monarchique : les rois étaient-ils des personnages sacrés, des sorciers faiseurs de miracles ? Pourquoi, enfin, a-t-on cru puis cessé de croire au miracle royal ? Trois questions qui ont amené Marc Bloch à explorer les chemins de la psychologie collective, des rites et des mythes, des croyances populaires. Pour éclairer le phénomène, il a eu recours à l'anthropologie et à son plus grand théoricien d'alors, Frazer, au comparatisme avec les sociétés les plus diverses, aux arcanes de la médecine populaire traditionnelle. C'est un jalon essentiel dans l'exploration des mentalités et l'invention d'une anthropologie historique. Dans son importante préface, Jacques Le Goff s'efforce de préciser les raisons personnelles et les milieux intellectuels qui ont conduit Marc Bloch à écrire ce livre exceptionnel, gros d'avenir, puis à abandonner cette voie, et fait le point sur la situation des Rois thaumaturges dans la recherche historique et anthropologique aujourd'hui, dont ce livre est l'un des phares. L'étrange défaite, aux éditions Gallimard « Témoignage », était-il écrit sur la première page du manuscrit rédigé d'une traite à l'été 1940, puis dissimulé en attente de jours meilleurs, et finalement publié en 1946 aux Éditions Franc-Tireur, émanation du groupe résistant dans lequel Marc Bloch s'est engagé jusqu'à son arrestation au printemps 1944. Le « plus vieux capitaine de l'armée française », comme il aimait se décrire, combattant de 1914 devenu engagé volontaire en 1939, y propose autant un examen de conscience qu'une analyse sans concession de la France battue en quelques semaines. Pour réaliser cette histoire immédiate, il met à profit ses compétences d'historien des sociétés et des mentalités du Moyen-Âge, tout en se tournant vers l'avenir : « Un jour viendra, tôt ou tard, j'en ai la ferme espérance, où la France verra de nouveau s'épanouir, sur son vieux sol béni déjà de tant de moissons, la liberté de pensée et de jugement. Alors les dossiers cachés s'ouvriront ; les brumes […] se lèveront peu à peu ; et peut-être les chercheurs occupés à les percer trouveront-ils quelque profit à feuilleter, s'ils le savent découvrir, ce procès-verbal de l'an 1940. » Écrits de guerre, aux éditions Armand Colin L'ouvrage ne se présente pas sous la forme classique d'un récit continu divisé en chapitres sur un sujet précis. Son unité est constituée par le personnage central Marc Bloch autour duquel gravitent des questions variées, toutes ayant un lien plus ou moins direct avec la guerre et l'expérience de la guerre. C'est un travail élaboré à partir d'un dossier constitué par Marc Bloch intitulé Souvenirs de guerre, composé de documents de natures diverses, coupures de presse, lettres manuscrites, écrits personnels, cartes postales d'origine variée, etc. présentés au lecteur. La reproduction des carnets de guerre de Marc Bloch complète ce recueil de documents ainsi que deux textes, l'un le récit des premiers mois de la Grande Guerre vécus par Marc Bloch, déjà publié sous la forme du Cahier des Annales, n° 26, 1969 sous le titre Souvenirs de guerre 1914-1915, l'article célèbre de la Revue de synthèse historique, Réflexions d'un historien sur les fausses nouvelles de la guerre. Une longue introduction de Stéphane Audoin-Rouzeau situe Marc Bloch dans la guerre et propose une réflexion sur la manière dont celle-ci a influencé sa pensée et son œuvre. ► Pour l'entrée au Panthéon de Marc Bloch, découvrez l'exposition Marc Bloch, l'esprit de l'Histoire. .

Lucas Rizzotto is one of the most distinctive artists working at the intersection of technology and human experience. He built Where Thoughts Go, a VR piece that proved genuine connection was possible inside a headset when everyone said it wasn't. He followed it with Pillow, a mixed reality app designed around the bedroom. He then spent months letting an AI algorithm run his life — wearing Mantra smart glasses, building a surveillance and memory system on himself, and documenting it as an ongoing series on Instagram and TikTok. Now he's making a live cinematic experience called Escape the Internet, which he calls Broadway crossed with a video game crossed with standup comedy. It premiered as a ghost debut at SXSW this year.Mike Boland, analyst and founder of AR Insider, sits in for Rony Abovitz in this episode. The conversation opens on the Rec Room shutdown — $250 million raised, a $3.5 billion valuation, and now a wind-down. The panel connects the collapse to a pattern: VR has always been an exotic pursuit sold as a mainstream one, and the unit economics of concurrent immersive social spaces are nearly impossible. The discussion moves to OpenAI shutting down Sora, the AI video generation race between Google VO3 and Kling, the rise of AI slop in social feeds, and Lucas confirming he quit LinkedIn because it's unreadable.AI XR News: Rec Room is shutting down after raising $250M at a $3.5B peak valuation. Snapchat is acquiring its remaining assets. OpenAI closed down Sora, overwhelmed by competition from Google VO3 and Kling. AI-only social feeds from Meta and Grok are not gaining traction — users are tuning them out.Key Moments:[05:37] – Ted's thesis: VR is an exotic pursuit that was never going to be mainstream, and Rec Room would have been healthier if it accepted that early[07:33] – Lucas: Ready Player One was the worst thing to happen to XR — it gave executives a fictional roadmap to fund[18:38] – Ted asks whether Apple can do for mixed reality what it did for the smartphone — and the panel is skeptical[27:42] – Mike on physics as the hard ceiling: Moore's Law doesn't apply to waveguides and optics the way it applies to chips[29:02] – Lucas explains why he dropped display glasses for his wearable AI experiment — they increase engineering complexity by 50x[32:17] – Lucas's AI-controlled life series: a complex algorithm watches him, mines personal data, and tells him what to do to find happiness — including an unplanned trip to Lithuania[34:12] – Ted asks if the experiment is a net positive or negative. Lucas: neutral if you're in control, net negative if Meta or OpenAI are running the system[37:52] – Lucas on convenience as a death by a thousand cuts: he optimized his life in Berlin to have everything within three minutes and became miserable[41:00] – Charlie on Where Thoughts Go: assigned it to students every semester; it only works if you surrender to it[47:15] – Escape the Internet: hundreds of people in a movie theater, all on their phones, playing a shared cinematic narrative. Lucas calls it a modern version of church[53:40] – The standup model applied to software: Lucas tested Escape the Internet at SXSW and cut 50% of the material that didn't get a reactionThis conversation sits at the intersection that the AI XR Podcast lives for: technology as creative material, not just commercial tool. Lucas's view that we've been building things people use all the time when we should be building things that blow their minds for two hours and then get out of the way is one of the sharper critiques of the attention economy you'll hear this year.This episode is brought to you by Zappar and Mattercraft — the leading visual development environment for building immersive 3D web experiences on mobile, headsets, and desktop.

This week on Drumcode Live we have a studio mix from Veerus & Mattia Saviolo recorded in Berlin, Germany.
Artificial intelligence is changing the rules of software investing, forcing private equity firms to adapt quickly and carefully. In this episode, we're joined by the team from Code & Co., one of the leading AI and tech due diligence firms serving private equity investors, to discuss how AI is transforming the way software companies are evaluated before a deal closes. Jim sits down with Code & Co. Managing Partners Dan Bender and Lukas Ingelheim along with Head of North America Kirby Montgomery to explain why tech due diligence is no longer just a checkbox exercise. Dan, Lukas and Kirby walk us through real-world examples of overengineered software, cloud optimization opportunities worth millions of dollars, and how PE firms can identify companies that are positioned to thrive rather than become the next commoditized AI feature. Whether you're a private equity investor, software executive, operating partner, founder, or technology leader, this episode offers a practical look at what separates durable software businesses from those at risk of being disrupted. About Code & Co.: Founded in 2016, Code & Co. has close to 1000 engagements behind them for more than 200 global funds. They are a global and fast-growing practice with offices in Berlin, London, Paris and New York. From a fast first-read all the way through post-close value creation, Code & Co. works across the full deal life cycle on both the buy-side and sell-side. Every member of the team is an operator with hands-on tech, product, and AI experience. That experience helps them take a confident view on where AI is building a real moat versus just being a feature that gets commoditized away.

RUNDOWN Mitch and Danny bounce from the changing economics of podcasting to baseball's disappearing workhorse pitchers before revisiting area codes and birthday trivia. Along the way, they debate Hall of Fame cases for Wade Boggs, Mike Holmgren, Vince Carter, and Tim Lincecum—while wondering whether "The Freak" could become Cooperstown's greatest omission. Broadcasting from the middle of Knicks mania, Danny gives Mitch a firsthand look at what a title run means in New York. The pair explore why America briefly embraced the Knicks, compare New York fandom to European soccer culture, and debate whether Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs let a championship slip away. The Mariners return home from a disappointing road trip with injuries mounting and the AL West tightening. Mitch, Brady, and Joe sort through Seattle's recent slide, debate lineup and roster decisions involving Cal Raleigh, J.P. Crawford, and Cole Young, and examine bullpen concerns, Matt Brash's durability, and the future of the six-man rotation. Fresh off a 16-day European adventure, Mitch and Puck reflect on the joys and exhaustion of traveling with adult children, from Berlin and Tuscany to Rome and London's Churchill War Rooms. The conversation eventually returns to Seattle, where Andrés Muñoz's struggles and the search for bullpen help dominate the discussion. GUESTS Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose podcast Joe Doyle | MLB analyst, Over-Slot Jason Puckett | KJ-Aren't / Puck Drop TABLE OF CONTENTS 0:00 | Mitch and Danny mix baseball nostalgia, Pacific Northwest trivia, and Hall of Fame debates while exploring how sports—and the media covering them—have fundamentally changed. 18:52 | Mitch and Danny unpack the Knicks' long-awaited title, New York's outsized sports ego, and why the rest of America briefly found itself rooting for the Big Apple. 34:39 | Mariners No-Table: The Mariners limp home from a frustrating 4–6 road trip battered by injuries and bullpen concerns, as Mitch, Brady, and Joe debate roster decisions. 1:00:02 | Jason Puckett: Mitch and Puck bounce from European travel adventures and family vacation realities to the Mariners' bullpen concerns. 1:18:46 | DAR (Dang Apostrophe Rulings): DAR (Dang Apostrophe Rulings) Is it time to stop worrying about Luis Castillo's feelings and move him to the bullpen? How big a deal is Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby's gambling case, and what does it mean for the NCAA's ability to enforce rules? What makes Pat McAfee worth a reported $60+ million per year to ESPN? Does Kenneth Walker skipping the Seahawks' Super Bowl ring ceremony matter to his legacy in Seattle? If you could choose one, would you take Jacob Misiorowski or Paul Skenes given their talent, contracts, and years of team control? How do you compare Phil Mickelson's fall from grace to Tiger Woods' damaged reputation? Should Mitch Levy be embarrassed that he has absolutely no idea who Mariska Hargitay is?
