The United States is home to a silent epidemic - do you know about it?We're referring to what researchers are calling femicide, or the gender-based killing of women and girls. And while some countries like Italy and Mexico have femicide or intimate partner homicide in their penal code, most countries, including the United States, do not. Today, Brittany is joined by Abené Clayton, lead reporter for the Guns and Lies in America Project for the Guardian, and Cheryl L. Neely, sociology professor at Oakland Community College in Royal Oak, Michigan to understand the pipeline from everyday and online misogyny to gender-based killings.If you or someone you know is affected by domestic violence, you can contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline via phone, text, or online chat.

Abortion isn't just about abortion—it's about everything.  It's about who gets to decide the course of a woman's life. It's about healthcare, democracy, power, freedom, and the stories we've been taught to believe. In this can't-miss conversation, Amanda traces the shocking history of abortion in America—from witch hunts to medical monopolies to the political strategy that transformed abortion into a partisan weapon. Then journalist and activist Jessica Valenti joins to expose what extremists are doing now, why these attacks were never really about abortion, and why she refuses to believe they're winning. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, confused, or hopeless about this moment, this episode will give you something even more powerful than outrage: clarity. - How abortion became a political weapon—and what it's really about. - Why abortion bans haven't reduced abortions. - How attacks on abortion threaten all reproductive healthcare. - The hidden strategies extremists are using now—and how to recognize them. - How the vast majority of Americans are on the same side—and why hope is a strategy. - Practical ways to take action, support local abortion funds, and protect your community. For more with Jessica Valenti, please listen to:  353. How We'll Save Abortion: A Must-Listen with Jessica Valenti  About Jessica:  Jessica Valenti is a writer, activist, and one of the country's most influential voices on gender and politics. The award-winning author of eight books—including the New York Times bestseller Abortion—she  has shaped the national conversation on feminism for over two decades. Jessica's groundbreaking anthology Yes Means Yes: Visions of Female Sexual Power and a World Without Rape set what's now considered the gold standard for sexual consent and paved the way for legislation of the same name. She is also widely credited with sparking feminism's online wave as the founder of the trailblazing blog Feministing. A former columnist for The Guardian and The Nation, Jessica's sharp, uncompromising analysis has appeared in The New York Times, The Atlantic, The Washington Post, and on media outlets from CNN to The Daily Show. She speaks at colleges and organizations nationwide about feminism, abortion, and sexual violence. After the fall of Roe, Jessica founded Abortion, Every Day, an urgent synthesis of anything and everything happening with abortion rights in the United States.

We're running one of our favorite episodes from The Business of You archives. If you missed it the first time, or just want to listen again, check this one out! What makes a truly iconic brand? Few people are better qualified to answer that question than Neil Barrie, the branding expert behind household names like Pinterest, Peloton, and Airbnb. Neil Barrie founded the TwentyFirstCenturyBrand agency in 2018 and works with many of the world's most innovative brands, including Headspace, Bumble, and Depop. From 2021-23, the company grew revenue by 70%. Originally a failed rock star, Neil has led the development and growth of top-tier brands including Disney, The Grammys, and Unilever. Throughout his career, he has used his platform to make the advertising industry better and has been featured in publications such as Forbes, Fast Company, and The Guardian. Landing Your First Client How did Neil and his co-founder land Pinterest as their very first client? A lot of it had to do with personal branding and the reputation they'd built for themselves in the industry. From the beginning, Neil was intentional about doing things for free for influential people, with the expectation that they would one day recommend TwentyFirstCenturyBrand. He and his co-founder held workshops for venture capitalists and offered to help them with their portfolios.  It also helped that they had a clear mission for their company (to build influential 21st-century brands) and a strong point of view on what made an iconic brand: it had to be purpose-led, community-driven, tech-enabled, and narrative-based.  Neil and his co-founder came out of the gate with a clear thesis. They published white papers on their four-part framework that helped companies see the value in branding. Their strategy paid off — Pinterest took a chance on the new agency, and TwentyFirstCenturyBrand's client list has only grown since. Ingredients of an Iconic Brand Branding can be broken down into two sides: input and output. Output is your brand reputation or what other people say about you when you're not around. Input is everything you put into the brand: your vision, your purpose, and the experience you create for your audience. When asked about the future of branding, Neil says there are three factors entrepreneurs need to consider: profit, purpose, and people. After the turmoil of the last few years, profitability is more important than ever. Purpose is your vision, and "people" refers to how you rally your community around that vision. To build a truly influential brand, you need to balance all three factors. Enjoy this episode with Neil Barrie… Soundbytes 21:02–21:30 "We had a very clear process that we insisted people go through, which had a certain bit of mythology around it, in terms of some of the rituals that we would do. We would have things like 'discuss the undiscussable,' where we put all of the C-suite into a private room and facilitate a discussion around five undiscussable themes that we'd uncovered from meeting everybody. These are things, not necessarily related to brand, just in your culture that you need to address before you can really achieve your potential." 31:53–32:22 "Culture is a very special thing: The values of a company. The commitment to work with certain types of clients, to the proper balance of growth agenda, purposeful, profitable growth, and so on. The ability to say no to things, to really look after the team in different ways. So, it was clear from a lot of those conversations that a lot of people wanted us, but they wanted to sort of merge us with another of their consulting agencies, and sort of strengthen that and gain access to our client base, and things like that. And it was just clear that it was going to ruin what we built." Quotes "Most tech companies are leaving money on the table because they mistrust branding." "It's tough to get business when you're starting out. From the start, community and doing things for free for influential people with the expectation they would recommend us was a big part of our strategy." "Out of the gate, we acted like we'd been around for 30 years and hoped that sense of confidence and conviction would be infectious." "Vulnerability is required if you're going to build a proper brand." "You need to invest the time in figuring out what you stand for, what you are, how you're going to codify that into your experience and so on."

Good luck to him. Burnham knows the job ahead is unlikely to be an easy one, but he's put the work in to get here, from emerging as a fresh-faced MP at the turn of the century to failed attempts to take over the Labour leadership in 2010 and 2015, to finally ascending to the lofty halls of No 10 Downing Street. But is Burnham inheriting a poisoned chalice, given the increasingly fractured nature of present-day British politics? How did he go from "King of the North" in Manchester to the top job in London? And can he handle Donald Trump any better than Keir Starmer did? On this episode of The Indo Daily, host Fionnán Sheahan is joined by Daniel Boffey, Chief Reporter with The Guardian, to discuss the new UK PM's rise to power and why he's likely to call a general election sooner rather than later.

The Guardian reported that Jeff Bezos and the UK government invested in British AI startup CuspAI at an estimated £2 billion valuation. The deal highlights the UK's strategy to pair public funding with high profile private capital to attract advanced AI development. Amazon invested up to $4 billion in Anthropic in 2023 and 2024, aligning the lab with AWS infrastructure. The UK announced a £225 million Isambard AI supercomputer and a £900 million compute expansion, and launched a £100 million Frontier AI Taskforce and the AI Safety Institute. British Patient Capital's £375 million Future Fund Breakthrough supports late stage deep tech co-investments. Founders face implications for talent, compute access, and cross border expansion decisions, with UK visa programs and the US H 1B cap shaping hiring strategies.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Detta är ett avsnitt från september 2025.8 februari 2003. Vid Kennedy Space Center i Florida är det fullt av folk. Rymdfärjan Columbia ska återvända till jorden efter 16 dagar i rymden, och familjer och personal har samlats för att välkomna astronauterna tillbaka. Men färjan dyker aldrig upp. Och snart kommer rapporter om märkliga ljusfenomen över Arizona och New Mexico. Ljusfenomen som en gång var en rymdfarkost.Detta är berättelsen om Columbia-katastrofen. Ett rutinmässigt uppdrag, som slutade i tragedi.Inläsare: Tind SonebyManus och research: Emmeli NyblomRedaktör: Alex HaegerProducent: Oliver BergmanKällor:Astronauts Memorial Foundation.

In eighteenth and nineteenth century England, two phantom stalkers terrorized the public and captured the collective imagination to the point of violence. However, violent outcomes and legal consequences notwithstanding, neither phantom was ever anything more than a figment of people's imaginations. References Associated Press. 1938.

Episode 120 Were the right men convicted? In Part 7 of Foretold: Australia's Whiskey Au Go Go Fire, we examine the decades of controversy that followed the convictions of John Andrew Stuart and James Finch. As allegations of police corruption, questionable confessions, and organized crime connections emerge, the case becomes far more complicated than it first appeared. From the landmark Fitzgerald Inquiry to the shocking McCulkin family murders, we explore why many began to question not only whether justice was served—but whether the full truth had ever been uncovered. As public opinion shifts and new evidence comes to light, the stage is set for the explosive final chapter of one of Australia's most infamous criminal cases.

We discuss a biological basis to political beliefs, the social functions of opinions, and tribalism.

The Los Angeles Dodgers made a small trade with the Rockies for a relief pitcher. Clint Pasillas and Katie Woo talk about the upside with the acquisition. Plus, we put a bow on the Dodgers series against the Yankees before getting into the big Shohei Ohtani news. (10:50) Ohtani will not be making his next few starts as the team looks to address his aching left knee. What should our concern levels be? Katie has the inside scoop. (18:19) Still, with Shohei out, the state of the starting rotation depth is thin. Will the Dodgers need to be active at the trade deadline? It's feeling more and more like it, despite the club saying otherwise. The hosts discuss the pitching depth situation and debate whether or not the team can survive the rest of the regular season without making a move.

1976. You'd think that people would have had enough of silly love songs.Well, silly or not, the charts of this fascinating year were full of big, big hits. Crowdpleasers, I hear you cry? Well, whatever way you view 1976, and many so-called rock journos and hacks would do so rather disdainfully, the twelve months bookended by number ones by Queen and Johnny Mathis (!) were certainly colourful and (checks notes for suitable adjective) erm, eclectic. Whilst certain history threads (I'm looking at you again Channel 5) will tell you that everyone was embracing bondage trousers, safety pins and other overused punk stereotypes, the truth was that the cash registers at Woolworths were ringing to the sounds of everything from the Greek smock admirer Demis Roussos, Dutch fairground dwelling country swingers Pussycat and those loveable Rock and Roll revivalists and brothel creeper wearing funsters Showaddywaddy.And the biggest selling single of the year - well that would be the Brotherhood of Man's lip smacking shoe shuffler and Eurovision winning rocket.Yes, punk would no doubt influence the coming years of popular culture, but not whilst The Wurzels were ploughing the pop fields of '76.The world of compilations was shifting up a gear too as the album charts saw TV advertising become a major factor in changing the landscape of big sellers with huge number one sellers from the kids favourites Slim Whitman, Bert Weedon, Glen Campbell and The Beach Boys, who remained at number one for ten consecutive weeks through that Hot, Hot, Hot summer of 1976. Good vibrations indeed!And in the jet-pack future of the 21st Century, how much fun does 1976 look? Well, pop kids, let the Guardian's head rock and pop critic Alexis Petridis and author Ian Wade guide you through it courtesy of the spanking NOW Yearbook 1976.The emergence of the stadium rock, pop sound10cc inventing Paranoid AndroidGuilty Pleasures (or not!)The wonderfully weird world of FoxDisco - hello!And along the way, rediscover the shimmering sounds that kept us sane through the heatwave, explore how CB radio (and questionable radio 1 DJs, mate) became a real thing (but not by The Real Thing), consider what Cliff Richard and Lou Reed may have discussed in Studio 54, which single was Wadey's first, which artist's concert Alexis was joined by Johnny Trunk at, the story of Ruby Flipper and the Blue Peter garden, which acts not to get stuck in a lift with and why David Dundas is not struggling to find funds for his next pair of jeans.Confused? Lost? Over-stimulated? You're in great pop company then in 1976. And we wouldn't have it any other way.Whether you were there or are rediscovering this amazing pop year for the first time, grab a cool drink, and jump onboard. Hosted on Acast.

The Scott Trust is the parent company that owns The Guardian Media Group. In 2023, the Trust launched their ‘Legacies of Enslavement Programme', formed to acknowledge that the founder of the Manchester Guardian, John Edward Taylor, and his backers profited from transatlantic enslavement through their business interests in cotton and sugar. Among them was Sir George Philips, co-owner of the Success plantation in Hanover, Jamaica. Links were also identified between Taylor's family business and plantations in the Gullah Geechee region of the US Sea Islands.In response to the findings, the Scott Trust is funding a meaningful long-term programme of awareness-raising and restorative justice. Their goals are to:address their founders' links to slavery in the US, and Sir George Philips' role as an enslaver of people in Jamaica, through significant partnerships and programmes developed with local and national communities and organisations.support impactful initiatives to improve diversity in the news media sector, including within the Guardian.raise awareness of our findings, and of Manchester's and Britain's involvement with transatlantic slavery, and of the trade in enslaved Africans more broadly.To discuss the programme and get into wider conversations about how we, as progressive, reckon with the legacy of Britain's role in the transatlantic slave trade, we were joined by:Clive Lewis – Member of Parliament for Norwich South & guest host of the episodeEbony Riddell Bamber – Programme Director of the Legacies of Enslavement Programme.

Speaker | Rev. Carter McDaniel RUTH: THE LOVE STORY - The Guardian Redeemer Sunday July 19, 2026 Sermon Slides | YouVersion

Bad Bunny is in the news this week for two main reasons: a major concert cancellation in Milan because of severe weather, and renewed social-media buzz around his relationship history with Gabriela Berlingeri. Recent coverage also points to ongoing public interest in his next music move, including speculation about new releases tied to his tour cycle. According to The Guardian, his July 18 concert in Milan was abruptly suspended after thunderstorms and hail hit the venue, and organizers said the area was evacuated safely and ticket holders would receive full refunds[11]. RPP in Peru reported the same evacuation, saying the second and final Milan show was affected by a strong storm and that tens of thousands of fans were impacted[9]. Mirror also reported that the show was canceled after hail and severe weather, with refunds promised to ticket holders[4]. For listeners following the tour, this is the clearest verified headline from the past week. On social media and in entertainment coverage, Bad Bunny has also been linked again to Gabriela Berlingeri. El Heraldo de México reported that the two were seen together in Sweden, adding to earlier sightings in Düsseldorf and Wimbledon and fueling reconciliation rumors[1]. Libertad Digital similarly described the pair as appearing close during his European tour, though neither has confirmed any romantic restart[2]. That means the relationship chatter is still speculation, not confirmed news. There is also older but still relevant legal news continuing to follow him. WDR reported that the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico allowed his former partner Carliz de la Cruz Hernández to continue pursuing a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against him[3]. That case remains part of the broader conversation around the artist, even if it is not the newest development this week. Music-fan chatter is also building around possible future releases. One music-site post described a blurry social-media tease that set off speculation about a summer album tracklist, though it was framed as anticipation rather than confirmed reporting[10]. Separately, El Nuevo Día reported that a mysterious post from his team sparked hopes among followers about a possible Puerto Rico finale for the tour[14]. Those items show strong fan interest, but they do not confirm any new album or surprise drop. The most solid takeaway for listeners is that Bad Bunny's current news cycle is being driven by live-tour disruption in Milan, fresh gossip surrounding Gabriela Berlingeri, and steady speculation about what he will do next musically[11][1][10].

I've got a great new episode of the “From the Fabricator” podcast out and ready for your listening pleasure.  This time out, two really fascinating and talented people who have found our industry- and, for one, I think it'll be home for a long time, and, for the other, he's ours forever, thankfully!  I start off with the brilliant Kevin Roth of Privacy Glass Solutions.  His back story is amazing, as is what he and his team have been able to accomplish at Privacy Glass Solutions. Lots of good nuggets from lessons learned, to hot products, to collaboration, and more.  (Also, I'll note my heart is broken for Kevin after England's loss to Argentina.  We talked about the game on the pod since it was recorded before they played) Then I connect with the wonderful Amy Post of Guardian Glass.  This was my first time chatting with her and I enjoyed it immensely.  Amy has had a massive job on her hands, rolling out several technical advancements built to help the customer and industry.  We cover all of that, the obstacles that were overcome, and the upcoming opportunity to experience them all and more at the brand new Guardian Glass booth at GlassBuild.  All so good.  So please check this one out, to me this is more evidence of the great people we have in our industry and their efforts to make it better.  Thank you!Thank you to FHC-Frameless Hardware Company for their support!Everyone talks about products.FHC is obsessed with what happens

Alanna Rizzo and Clint Pasillas break down all the action from the first game of the second half where the Los Angeles Dodgers faced the New York Yankees and ace Gerrit Cole at Yankee Stadium for the first time since the 2024 World Series. We react to Max Muncy dropping the boom on Cole, ending his domination of LA's lineup. (10:18) Roki Sasaki was excellent, putting together arguably his best start as a big leaguer. Clint and Alanna discuss what was different for Sasaki. (23:01) Plus, injury updates on Shohei Ohtani, Will Smith, Edwin Diaz, Kiké Hernandez, and more. Will the Smith news lead to the Dodgers pursuing an emergency plan at catcher?

The Guardian's Washington Bureau Chief, David Smith analyses US President Donald Trump's overnight address.

The original “Reputation era” belonged to this week's Doll, Dusty Springfield!Born in post-war Britain to a Scottish father and Irish mother, Mary O'Brien was never going to be a good little Catholic schoolgirl; neither would she be content in a family band. Dusty Springfield was born to be in the spotlight. No government or journalist was going to box her into a corner! And no man - or woman - could tie her down. The worlds she created in songs like “Spooky,” “The Look of Love,” “Just A Little Lovin',” and of course “Son of a Preacher Man” were tender and sultry, like her “microphone voice.” She rarely belted, but did she really have to? Bask in Dusty's greatness, be charmed by her wit, revel in her resurrection, and enjoy and a career-spanning retrospective of this beloved “bicon.” “Dusty Springfield: The Many Lives of Mary O'Brien” is available wherever you stream your podcasts

This week, Scott sat down with his colleagues Lawfare Foreign Policy Editor Daniel Byman, Lawfare Public Service Fellow Julia Curlee, and Lawfare Contributing Editor and Vice President of Research, Security and Defense at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs Ariane Tabatabai, to talk through the week's big news in foreign policy, including:“Truce or Consequences.” The fragile ceasefire that had paused the U.S.-Iran war since the spring now appears to have collapsed. After Iran struck several commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz, the United States has launched several successive nights of strikes, hitting more than 300 targets across Iran. Iran has in turn retaliated against U.S. bases in Bahrain and Kuwait. Speaking from the NATO summit in Ankara, President Trump declared the June memorandum of understanding “over” even as he insisted that talks toward a lasting peace could still continue. By the weekend, Iran had declared the Strait of Hormuz closed, and U.S. officials were describing the ceasefire as fully “broken down.” Then, on Monday, Trump escalated further—declaring that the United States would “keep” and “run” the Strait as its self-styled “Guardian,” reinstate its blockade on Iranian ships, and charge a 20% fee on all cargo passing through, an arrangement Tehran has flatly rejected. Is the war back on? And is there any diplomatic path left to pull both sides back from the brink? “Rutte Awakening.” NATO's leaders gathered in Ankara last week for a summit that Secretary General Mark Rutte billed as the launch of “NATO 3.0”—a stronger, more self-reliant Europe inside an alliance less dependent on the United States. Allies touted rapid progress toward last year's pledge to spend 5% of GDP on defense, announcing more than $50 billion in new procurement and at least €70 billion in fresh military aid for Ukraine. But the gathering was overshadowed by friction with President Trump, who publicly berated allies for declining to help in the Iran war and briefly revived his campaign to acquire Greenland before ending on a somewhat more conciliatory note. What did the Ankara summit actually accomplish? And what does “NATO 3.0” mean for the alliance's future?“Bad Bromance.” The once-close alliance between Washington and Jerusalem—and between President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu—is showing unusual public strain. Trump has repeatedly clashed with Netanyahu over Israel's continued operations in Lebanon—which have threatened the Iran ceasefire—and over the stalled second phase of his Gaza peace plan, which has all but wilted as Hamas refuses to disarm and Israel refuses to withdraw. Defense Secretary Hegseth abruptly canceled a planned trip to Israel, and a possible F-35 sale to Turkey has added to the unease. The tensions turned vivid this past week when Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said he was detained for more than an hour by armed Israeli settlers—and then by IDF soldiers—during a West Bank visit, and armed settlers attacked a CNN crew and other journalists days later. At home, Israeli confidence in Trump has plummeted in advance of Israeli elections in October, even as U.S. primaries have produced a record number of candidates critical of Israel, particularly on the left. Just how strained is the U.S.-Israeli relationship? And how might Israel's coming elections—and America's midterms—reshape it? (Also see the Atlantic article by Thomas Wright that Julia references here.)In object lessons, Dan reviews the movie The Invite, and it's complicated. Ari reviews Israeli jazz musician Avishai Cohen's new album “Eternal Child” and is totally engaged. Scott remembers the influential life and career of Lindsey Graham, separating himself from any alleged involvement in a long-ago gym-mat scandal. And Julia is in love with post-SCIF life, especially one in which she can work from the serenity of her mother's paradisiacal porch.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

“If you can only explain the arguments of the other side because they're mad or dangerous or dumb, the problem is with you.” — Turi Munthe On yesterday's show, the psychiatrist Sally Satel described how Americans imagine their own mental condition differently, depending on their politics and age. Which is a nice segue for today's conversation with the Anglo-French journalist turned media entrepreneur Turi Munthe. It's not just in our mental health self-evaluation, Munthe argues, that we hallucinate reality. Indeed, the French born Munthe often sounds like one of his post-structuralist compatriots in his defiantly slippery notion of ontological reality. In Why We Think What We Think: The Unexpected Origins of Our Deepest Beliefs, Munthe argues that our deepest convictions turn out to be shaped by genetics, brain shape and sometimes even by the agricultural legacy of our distant ancestors. Left and right thinkers, Munthe argues, are different political phenotypes — each hallucinating their own version of reality. Total relativism, then — the full French post-structuralist monty? Not quite. Here's where Munthe's Englishness kicks in. Following the Anglo-Russian philosopher Isaiah Berlin, Munthe insists pluralism and relativism are different. So Turi Munthe doesn't just think what he thinks because of his English or French origins. Borrowing from the cognitive scientists Dan Sperber and Hugo Mercier, Munthe defines thinking as a “contact sport”. So, for example, believing that the 2020 election was stolen is what Munthe calls a social commitment, because humans would rather be wrong together than right alone. Speaking of convenient segues, Munthe's thoughts on thinking set the scene for next Tuesday's conversation with Emily Eakin, author of The Frenchmen. It's her history of seductive post-structuralists like Foucault, Derrida and Lacan who corrupted a whole generation of literary American Ivy Leaguers (including Eakin) into hallucinating reality. Five Takeaways •       Pluralism Is Not Relativism. Munthe opens with Isaiah Berlin's distinction: registering the sincerity and value of opinions across the political, religious, and ethical spectrum does not relativize truth. That Charles Windsor is King of the United Kingdom is a statement of fact; whether you're a monarchist or a republican is where opinion begins. The book confines itself to the second category — beliefs, values, and opinions that cannot be factually proven — and asks what the nonrational influences on them actually are. The answer is humbling: genetics account for perhaps half of political persuasion, and the rest is shaped by everything from brain anatomy to the agriculture of our ancestors. •       Different Political Phenotypes. At the margins, left and right differ neurologically: right-leaners are on average more readily startled by loud noises and more attentive to threat, while left-leaners carry a slightly larger anterior cingulate cortex — the brain region where we process ambiguity and split hairs. That anatomy, Munthe argues, explains the ideological capture of academia and media better than any conspiracy: hair-splitters go where the hair-splitting is, and a conservative 22-year-old doesn't volunteer for a newsroom where 80% of colleagues think differently. We are, in his phrase, different political phenotypes, each hallucinating a different version of reality. •       Thinking as a Contact Sport. Drawing on Dan Sperber and Hugo Mercier's research, Munthe argues that reason didn't evolve for solitary contemplation — Rodin's Thinker is the wrong image — but for argument: to convince you to hunt the buffalo with me, I need reasons that look objective to you too. The evidence is everywhere, from the most impactful academic papers being written by pairs and groups to the creative density of small university towns. The implication is political: the people we disagree with are not obstacles to good thinking but the condition of it — the loyal opposition that helps us get out of ourselves. •       Wrong Together Rather Than Right Alone. Munthe's reading of January 6 and the stolen-election faith is social rather than psychiatric: an enormous number of our beliefs matter more for what they do than for what they say, and professing them is a commitment to a group. From an evolutionary perspective, believing what your village believes — even about the god who is a giant rock at the end of the field — is intelligent, because the ostracized lose the protection of the group. The terrifying data point is the marriage test: in the 1950s, around 4% of families would have objected to a child marrying across party lines; today it approaches 45%. That is affective polarization, and it can pull societies apart. •       The Problem Is With You. Munthe spent his twenties unable to fathom American gun rights — supporters had to be bought, dumb, or morally corrupt — until he did the work and found a tradition he now calls beautiful and heroic, whether or not he shares it. His rule of thumb: if you can only explain the other side's arguments as madness, danger, or stupidity, the problem is with you. This is not centrism — there was no middle ground on slavery or the Holocaust — but a defense of the clash itself: societies need the left to fix inequality and the right to defend the village, and we think best when the two are, in his words, continually bashed against each other. About the Guest Turi Munthe is a journalist and policy analyst turned media entrepreneur. He founded Demotix, which became the largest network of photojournalists in the world before its sale to Corbis in 2012, and Parlia, an encyclopedia of opinion. He has written for The Economist, The Guardian, the TLS, The Nation, and The Spectator, has sat on the boards of Index on Censorship, openDemocracy, and the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, and is a board member of the Italian media group GEDI, publisher of La Repubblica and La Stampa. He studied Arabic and History at Oxford.

No 3 em 1 desta quarta-feira (15), o destaque foi o ministro do Supremo Tribunal Federal Flávio Dino que cobrou explicações de todos os presidentes de partidos com representação no Congresso Nacional sobre o direcionamento de emendas parlamentares aos municípios. 21 representantes de partidos já foram notificados individualmente. Reportagem: Bruno Pinheiro. O jornal britânico The Guardian publicou um editorial onde afirma que o presidente americano Donald Trump usa acordos comerciais e tarifas para atacar a autonomia do Brasil. O jornal classificou ainda que o pedido do senador e pré-candidato à Presidência da República Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) ao presidente Trump para que ele adie as tarifas até as eleições foi “extremamente audacioso”. Uma pesquisa Genial/Quaest divulgada nesta quarta-feira (15) mostra o atual presidente Lula (PT) abrindo uma vantagem considerável no primeiro turno com 40% das intenções de voto, enquanto o senador e pré-candidato Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) aparece em segundo lugar com 28% das intenções. Em um cenário de segundo turno, o petista segue em primeiro com 45%, enquanto Flávio aparece com 37%. As campanhas do atual presidente Lula (PT), e do senador e pré-candidato Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) reagiram à divulgação da pesquisa Genial/Quaest que mostra Lula abrindo vantagem de aproximadamente dez pontos contra seu principal concorrente. Para a campanha do atual presidente, o avanço se dá frente às entregas econômicas que o governo realizou nos últimos meses. Já na avaliação de interlocutores de Flávio, a pesquisa não satisfaz a campanha e não irão considerar como relevante. Reportagem: João Vitor Revedilho. A Proposta de Emenda à Constituição (PEC) que prevê a aposentadoria especial para agente de saúde foi aprovada no Senado com 73 votos a favor. A proposta, considerada pelo governo uma pauta-bomba, irá agora para a promulgação no Congresso Nacional. A votação da pauta foi uma tentativa de costurar um acordo para iniciar a tramitação da pauta da PEC do Fim da Escala 6x1. Reportagem: Beatriz Souza. O governo brasileiro já trabalha na expectativa de que a sobretaxa de 25% aos produtos brasileiros importados para os Estados Unidos seja aplicada. O ministro da Fazenda, Dário Durigan, avalia que a taxa é desproporcional, e reforça que o governo não irá “proteger a população”. Reportagem: André Anelli. A defesa do ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro (PL) cumpriu o prazo de 48 horas estipulado pelo ministro Alexandre de Moraes para se manifestar em relação ao conhecimento sobre a carta divulgada no último sábado (11) nas redes sociais do senador e pré-candidato Flávio Bolsonaro (PL). A defesa alega que a decisão de Flávio de divulgar o conteúdo não havia sido previamente comunicada à Jair. Reportagem: André Anelli Após divulgação de foto com Sicário, apontado pela Polícia Federal como chefe da milícia privada de Daniel Vorcaro, o senador e pré-candidato Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) alegou não se lembrar de ter tirado o retrato. Em vídeo divulgado em suas redes sociais, o senador afirmou que tira fotos com muitas pessoas por dia e “não tem como saber quem é cada pessoa”. O governo americano sinalizou que irá aplicar a taxa de 25% sobre produtos brasileiros importados ao país. O anúncio oficial será dado ainda nesta quarta-feira (15). Apesar disso, a diplomacia brasileira foi avisada de que o tarifaço irá atingir o Brasil. A expectativa agora é de que a lista de produtos isentos da sobretaxa seja ampliada. Reportagem: Eliseu Caetano. A Pesquisa Genial/Quaest divulgada nesta quarta-feira (15) analisou os impactos do vídeo da ex-primeira-dama Michelle Bolsonaro (PL) na campanha do senador e pré-candidato à Presidência da República Flávio Bolsonaro (PL). A pesquisa aponta que 42% do eleitorado tende a concordar mais com Michelle a passo que 18% concorda mais com Flávio. Tudo isso e muito mais você acompanha no 3 em 1.

¿Cuándo fue la última vez que dijiste "no tengo tiempo"? Probablemente hoy. En este capítulo revisamos las ideas de dos pensadores separados por dos mil años que llegaron a la misma conclusión sobre por qué vivimos corriendo. Uno es Oliver Burkeman, periodista británico que pasó una década escribiendo sobre productividad para The Guardian y terminó concluyendo que todo el sistema está roto. El otro es Séneca, filósofo estoico que en el año 49 d.C. le escribió una carta a su suegro diciéndole exactamente lo mismo.Hablamos de:— Por qué mientras más eficiente te vuelves, menos tiempo tienes— Lo que pasa cuando una profesora de Harvard pone a sus alumnos a mirar una sola pintura durante tres horas— La lista de Warren Buffett que cambia la forma en que priorizas— Qué nos enseña el budismo y Thich Nhat Hanh sobre estar presente cuando todo te jala hacia "lo siguiente"Preguntas para reflexionar:¿Cuándo fue la última vez que tuviste un día sin prisa — no un día libre, un día sin la sensación de que deberías estar haciendo otra cosa?¿A qué le estás diciendo que sí esta semana que en el fondo sabes que no necesita tu tiempo?Si hicieras una lista de tus veinticinco prioridades, ¿cuáles serían tus cinco? ¿Y cuántas cosas de tu agenda pertenecen a las otras veinte?¿En qué momento de tu día estás realmente presente?¿Qué vas a soltar esta semana para hacer espacio a lo que realmente importa?Referencias: Burkeman, O.

Ximena Borrazás is a Uruguayan photographer and documentary filmmaker born in Montevideo in 1992. She focuses on armed conflicts, migration, and humanitarian crises. Her work combines visual sensitivity with a strong commitment to social justice, often addressing the experiences of women and displaced populations. She has published with major international outlets, including National Geographic, The Guardian, BBC, CNN, DW, France 24, Al Jazeera, and the Associated Press, and has worked with institutions such as UNHCR, UNESCO, and IOM. Ximena's project in northern Ethiopia documents the devastating aftermath of the Tigray conflict, one of the deadliest wars of the 21st century. Her images portray survivors of sexual violence, displaced families, and the enduring effects of famine and trauma. This work earned her the 2024 Tom Stoddart Award for Excellence, the Gentex Corp Personal Safety Award from the Ian Parry Photojournalism Grant, and the Africa Mundi Award for best photographic publication in Planeta Futuro of El País. Her long-term documentary project The Scars of War, which began in Tigray, combines photography, testimony, and documentation to investigate conflict-related sexual violence through a forensic lens. Rather than treating sexual violence as an isolated act, the project traces it as a weapon of war, examining physical, psychological, and social evidence left behind, and the systems, or lack thereof, that respond to it. Ximena is currently based in Ukraine where, aside from continuing to photograph, she has a full-time job as a Liaison and Communications Officer with the United Nations. On episode 286, Ximena discusses, among other things: Working for the UN in Ukraine Her first experience of visiting the Polish border The nature of working amidst drone warfare Challenges of being a freelancer in a conflict zone Why she doesn't really want to be a photographer The experience of being in Kyiv on a daily basis Her life before photography Early forays into documentary work Her project in Tigray, Ethiopia and the context of the conflict there How she began The Scars of War, her work on conflict related sexual violence How serendipity on a HEFAT course led to publication in The Guardian How some X-rays changed everything and why they were so powerful How she has extended her project to other areas, and focussed on male victims How her job at the UN combines with her advocacy work Website | Instagram Become a A Small Voice podcast member here to access exclusive additional subscriber-only content and the full archive of 200+ previous episodes for £4 per month.

This summer, protesters connected to a demonstration outside the Prairieland ICE detention center in North Texas were sentenced to as much as 100 years in prison. It's the first case prosecuted under President Trump's National Security Presidential Memorandum 7, which targets "extremism on migration, race, and gender" and classifies antifa as a domestic terrorism organization. What's striking is the evidence: zines, Signal messages, hosting a book club. This week, we talk with Guardian reporter Lex McMenamin about what this case could mean for dissent going forward.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

Trump just reinstated the naval blockade on Iran and declared the United States the guardian of the Strait of Hormuz — with a 20% charge on cargo for the protection service. You need to see what this changes before it starts showing up at the pump. The Strait of Hormuz carries one-fifth of the world's seaborne oil every day. Iranian threats and attacks on ships are driving up energy prices and hitting working families. After the June deal collapsed and Iran resumed harassing commercial traffic, Trump ordered strikes and brought back the blockade with this 20% cargo reimbursement policy. It's America saying we're done footing the bill alone while allies with navies do little — the ships using the strait should help cover the security costs. Pat also covered: Bronko Nagurski — the toughest football player of all time. Lindsey Graham's sister appointed to take his Senate seat. 78% of Americans know the first president … the other 22% will surprise you. Zohran Mamdani's surprising answer on why rape is increasing in NYC. Could Ron DeSantis end up on the Supreme Court? Do you think this 20% cargo fee is a fair way to share the burden of protecting the Strait of Hormuz? What's your honest take on whether bringing the blockade back makes America safer or just pulls us deeper into conflict with Iran?

The Iran deal is dead again, ships are getting hit in the Gulf, and the ten year is back above four point five five. Marty and John sort through the latest Middle East escalation, why both sides actually want the conflict to keep going, and what it means for oil, LNG, and bond volatility. They dig into Japan's thirty year yield highs and the delicate balance the BOJ is walking, Mohamed El-Erian vouching for Bessent's industrial policy in the New York Times, and why the MOVE index might matter more than the absolute rate level. They also cover Circle's bank charter approval, the OpenUSD consortium bringing Wall Street and Silicon Valley together around the digital dollar, and the growing turf war over who gets to run America's strategic Bitcoin reserve.
