It's part 2 of our dive into the Insect Apocalypse, with our good friend Dr. Jason Dombroskie from the Cornell University Insect Collection!In this part, Jason fills us in on the drivers of the Insect Apocalypse and - most importantly - what we can do about it.This episode was recorded on August 21, 2025 at Rattlesnake Hill Wildlife Management Area in Dalton, NY.. Episode NotesDuring the episode, we made the claim that 40 million acres of the US is lawn, and that that area is equal to all of the country's National Parks put together. True? Well, sort of. The claim that the U.S. has about 40 million acres of lawn—roughly equal to all our national parks combined—is only partly true. A NASA-funded study led by Cristina Milesi estimated that turfgrass covers about 128,000 km² (≈31 million acres) of the continental U.S., making it the largest irrigated “crop” in the country (Milesi et al., Environmental Management, 2005; NASA Earth Observatory). Later analyses and popular summaries often round that up to ≈40 million acres (e.g., Scienceline, 2011; LawnStarter, 2023). By comparison, the total land area of all officially designated U.S. National Parks is about 52.4 million acres, while the entire National Park System—which also includes monuments, preserves, and historic sites—covers about 85 million acres (National Park Service, 2024). So while lawns and parks occupy areas of similar magnitude, lawns do not actually equal or exceed the combined area of the national parks. Is it better to mulch leaves on your lawn or leave them be? Here's what we found: It's generally best to mulch your leaves with a mower rather than rake or remove them. Research from Michigan State University found that mowing leaves into small pieces allows them to decompose quickly, returning nutrients to the soil and reducing weeds like dandelions and crabgrass (MSU Extension, “Don't rake leaves — mulch them into your lawn”, 2012). Cornell University studies similarly show that mulched leaves improve soil structure, moisture retention, and microbial activity (Cornell Cooperative Extension, “Leaf Mulching: A Sustainable Alternative”, 2019). However, in garden beds, wooded edges, or under shrubs, it's often better to leave leaves whole, since they provide winter habitat for butterflies, bees, and other invertebrates that overwinter in leaf litter (National Wildlife Federation, “Leave the Leaves for Wildlife”, 2020). The ideal approach is a mix: mow-mulch leaves on grassy areas for turf health and leave them intact where they naturally fall to support biodiversity and soil ecology.

O Cinem(ação) entra de cabeça no caos e na genialidade do novo filme de Paul Thomas Anderson, Uma Batalha Após a Outra. Livremente inspirado em Vinland, de Thomas Pynchon, o longa combina thriller político, comédia de erros e ação insana, consolidando mais um marco na carreira do diretor de Sangue Negro e Trama Fantasma.Com trilha sonora intensa de Johnny Greenwood, Uma Batalha Após a Outra acompanha Bob Ferginson (Leonardo DiCaprio), um ex-revolucionário paranoico que precisa resgatar a filha Willa das mãos do vilão caricato Coronel Lock Jaw (Sean Penn). O podcast analisa como Anderson transforma essa trama delirante em um retrato ácido da geração Millennial - perdida entre ideais frustrados e o peso do passado.Rafael Arinelli, Ieda Marcondes, Diego Quaglia e Camila Henriques exploram as escolhas visuais e temáticas do diretor, as atuações marcantes e o equilíbrio entre ironia e emoção. Também refletem sobre a figura de Perfídia Beverly Hills, mãe de Willa e símbolo das contradições revolucionárias.Com cenas que parecem montanhas-russas de tensão e um final otimista, Uma Batalha Após a Outra reafirma que, mesmo em meio ao caos, ainda há espaço para esperança e resistência.Este episódio contém spoilers - veja o filme e volte para essa conversa intensa e apaixonante sobre um dos trabalhos mais ousados de P.T.A.!• 04m57: Pauta Principal• 1h14m47: Plano Detalhe• 1h34m11: EncerramentoOuça nosso Podcast também no:• Spotify: https://cinemacao.short.gy/spotify• Apple Podcast: https://cinemacao.short.gy/apple• Android: https://cinemacao.short.gy/android• Deezer: https://cinemacao.short.gy/deezer• Amazon Music: https://cinemacao.short.gy/amazonAgradecimentos aos padrinhos: • Bruna Mercer• Charles Calisto Souza• Daniel Barbosa da Silva Feijó• Diego Alves Lima• Eloi Xavier• Flavia Sanches• Gabriela Pastori Marino• Guilherme S.

Tanis and Company aboard the Perechon are pursued by dragons. It turns out Kitiara isn't happy about how Tanis left. Tanis is still trying to convince the rest of the Companions that he didn't betray them. They seem skeptical now and that feeling will only grow. The ship, in vain, attempts to escape but only ends up being drawn into the Maelstrom at the heart of the Blood Sea. Tanis hopes, in vain, that Kit will not recognize Berem. Raistlin does recognize Kit. Tanis comes clean. It is not pretty. Despite the madness of the storm Kitiara continues to pursue them, Tanis asks for forgiveness. Many secrets are revealed. Raistlin abandons the rest of the party. Tanis and the remaining Companions are seemingly lost in the great whirlpool at the heart of the Blood Sea.

Regonflé par une semaine en or qui l'a vu battre le Paris Saint Germain dans le Classique et Strasbourg, un autre ambitieux dans la course à l'Europe, l'Olympique de Marseille doit enfin surfer sur cette dynamique et lancer sa campagne européenne. 15 jours après une "défaite encourageante" ou frustrante au Bernabeu face au Real Madrid, c'est un autre monument qui se présente au Vélodrome ce soir : l'Ajax Amsterdam, quatre fois vainqueur de la compétition ! Mais les Néerlandais de John Heitinga sont en difficulté dans ce début de saison et peinent à convaincre. Ils seront en plus amputés de leurs principales armes offensives : Weghorst et Dolberg. Tout autre résultat qu'une victoire viendrait-il hypothéquer les chances de qualification de l'OM ? Le WFC se penche sur ce match ainsi que sur le Real Madrid qui doit rebondir après le derby perdu contre l'Atlético ce week-end !

Your favorite shrinks, John Gartner and Harry Segal, begin their analysis of the week by watching Trump suffer through another terrible press conference by RFK, Jr. From not knowing how to say the generic name for Tylenol, to his claiming Cuba has no autistic children, Trump continues to make the kind of alarming mistakes everyone should be outraged about. Be sure to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts: Our site Subscribe on iTunes Subscribe on Spotify Subscribe on Amazon Music Subscribe on iHeartRadio The show opens by tracing a troubling arc in Donald Trump's behavior: what began as calculated showmanship has hardened into an overt play for control. Traits of malignant narcissism—grandiosity, a craving for unwavering loyalty—and authoritarian impulses have grown more pronounced since his first term. Each lie, each institutional assault, speaks less to shrewd strategy than to a compulsive need to dominate the narrative and erode the checks that protect democratic life. They turn next to a profound example of this dynamic: the political exploitation of Charlie Kirk's assassination. In the wake of that tragedy, rhetoric designed to stifle dissent has surged, with shock and fear wielded as blunt instruments to tarnish any voice labeled “left.” By framing grief as a cover for condemnation, the Trump administration reveals a classic tactic of control—manufacturing crisis to justify a tightening grip on speech, dissent, and public debate. But the most insidious move may be the deliberate consolidation of media power. Gartner and Siegel outline how conservative billionaires aligned with Trump have quietly scooped up news outlets and social platforms, twisting once-independent journalism into a mouthpiece for authoritarian propaganda. As independent investigative bodies shrink, echo chambers expand, and fact-based reporting gives way to curated spectacle, the foundation of informed consent begins to crack under the weight of concentrated influence. Into this fractured media ecosystem steps Dr. Vince Greenwood, offering a psychopathy lens on Trump's tactics. Greenwood underscores traits like impulsivity, emotional shallowness, and a glaring absence of remorse—qualities that have propelled Trump to outsized heights but also sow seeds of instability. He argues that these very characteristics, while enabling bold grabs for power, carry a predictable risk of self-sabotage. A misfired tweet, a rash decree or a scorched-earth feud could fracture alliances and expose the limits of unchecked authority. That possibility, Gartner and Siegel stress, is no reason for complacency. Recognizing these cognitive warning signs isn't idle armchair psychology—it's a civic responsibility. When the machinery of fear, misinformation, and media monopoly begins to hum, the cure lies in active vigilance. Question the sources asking for your trust, demand accountability from outlets once deemed impartial, and refuse to accept spectacle in place of substance. Ultimately, the path forward depends on our willingness to see beyond the performance. Shrinking Trump reminds us that every authoritarian playbook relies on confusion and emotional contagion. By sharpening our critical lens, cultivating honest conversations, and holding fast to democratic norms, we inoculate ourselves against manipulation.

Your favorite psychologists, John Gartner and Harry Segal, review the insidious way the Trump administration is using the Kirk assassination to end freedom of speech. They are joined again by Dr. Vince Greenwood, an expert on psychopathy, who shines a spotlight on Trump's criminal behavior. Be sure to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts: Our site Subscribe on iTunes Subscribe on Spotify Subscribe on Amazon Music Subscribe on iHeartRadio The episode opens with a stark diagnosis: Trump's behavior reflects a dangerous blend of malignant narcissism and sociopathy. Gartner and Segal argue that his compulsive lying, criminality, and relentless attacks on institutions aren't just political tactics—they're symptoms of a deeper pathology. These traits, they warn, fuel a pattern of authoritarian maneuvering that threatens the very fabric of democratic society. One of the most chilling segments centers on the political exploitation of tragedy. In the wake of Charlie Kirk's murder, Trump and his allies swiftly weaponized the event to stoke anti-left sentiment and suppress dissent. Gartner and Segal dissect this response as a textbook example of fear-based control, where grief is hijacked to justify repression. They argue that this tactic not only deepens national division but also corrodes core democratic principles like free speech and pluralism. The conversation then turns to media complicity. The psychologists critique how certain outlets, under financial or ideological pressure, have surrendered their independence and become echo chambers for Trump's narrative. This media capture, they contend, is not incidental—it's strategic. By dominating the information ecosystem, Trump consolidates power and silences opposition, turning journalism into a tool of authoritarian control. Joining the discussion is Dr. Vince Greenwood, who offers a clinical assessment of Trump as a psychopath. Drawing on established diagnostic criteria, Greenwood highlights traits like impulsivity, lack of remorse, and a compulsive need to dominate. While these traits have helped Trump rise, Greenwood warns they may also be his undoing. The very pathology that fuels his power could expose vulnerabilities—cracks in the armor of authoritarianism. The episode closes with a call to action. Gartner and Segal urge listeners to stay vigilant, resist normalization, and confront the psychological tactics that enable authoritarian rule. Understanding the cognitive and behavioral patterns of leaders, they argue, isn't just academic—it's essential to defending democracy. Tune in next week for another gripping, clinically grounded exploration of power, pathology, and the urgent need to protect democratic values from psychological manipulation.
