    RUNDOWN   We've got full-on playoff fever! Mitch transforms into “Mr. Playoffs,” breaking down worst-case scenarios, magic numbers, and the Mariners' path to clinching the AL West, the No. 2 seed, and even the slim shot at the top seed. From playoff math to the weekend's biggest headlines on the field — the Seahawks crush the Saints 44–13 behind special teams fireworks and a near-perfect day from Sam Darnold. Mitch is joined by Brady Farkas and Joe Doyle to break down one of the most cathartic series in Mariners history — a sweep of the Astros in Houston. The trio cover dominant starting pitching, Victor Robles' season-saving catch, and Brian Wu's ace-level performance despite injury concerns. Mitch, Jacson Bevens and Brady Henderson break down Seattle's 44–13 demolition of the Saints. The discussion includes Sam Darnold's near-perfect day, a record 95-yard punt return by Tory Horton, and another statement from Mike Macdonald's defense despite missing key starters. Mitch and Rick Neuheisel dive into a loaded week of college football, from Nebraska's collapse to Washington's upcoming showdown with No. 1 Ohio State. Rick shares why Husky QB Julian Sayin is already on his Heisman radar, reflects on his emotional return to Husky practice, and explains where UW must hold up against the Buckeyes. They also preview Oregon–Penn State, Alabama–Georgia, and talk Clemson's stunning stumble, before Rick makes his Week 5 pick.   GUESTS   Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose Podcast (Mariners on SI) Joe Doyle | MLB Draft & Mariners Analyst, Over-Slot Substack Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Mr. Playoffs: Mariners' Magic Number Math Gets Real 24:11 | BEAT THE BOYS - Register at MitchUnfiltered.com 27:25 | Seahawks Roll, Mariners Sweep, and Huskies Brace for Ohio State 48:03 | GUEST: Mariners No-Table; Sweeping Houston, Woo's Injury, and Cal's MVP Push 1:25:15 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Darnold Shines, Defense Dominates, Special Teams Explodes 1:51:55 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; on Huskies' Big Test, Ducks at Penn State, and College Football Chaos 2:35:33 | Other Stuff Segment: John Denver's hometown mystery and the 351 area code in Massachusetts, Dennis Leary's Worcester roots, the formation of the J.

HEADLINES include researchers in Norway suggesting the first butthole might have been for sperm instead of poop, a highway spill of M&Ms, NASA denying a three-eye atlas is an alien ship, and two teenagers in China ordered to pay $300,000 after peeing in a restaurant hot pot.

    In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with Guelph, Ontario author Karen Smythe about Karen's novel, A Town With No Noise (Palimpsest Press, 2025). Samara and J., a struggling young couple, are off to J.'s birthplace, Upton Bay, a small town turned upscale theatre and winery destination. Sam has been hired by an editor friend to write a promotional piece about the place while she and J. stay with his grandfather Otto, a prominent businessman in his day. But their visit does not go as planned. Sam's explorations of Upton's tourist attractions lead her to ugly truths behind the quaint little town's façade—discoveries that are counterpointed with vignettes of the town's wealthy, elderly ruling class, painting a different picture than the one Sam's friend expects her to provide. Tensions between Sam and J. worsen as J.'s true nature emerges and Sam begins to question both his values and his family's past—especially after Otto tells them stories about his time as a German soldier during WW2. Back in the city, Sam's opinions and judgments about what is right and wrong are tested when a shocking truth surfaces about her grandmother's flight from Norway after the war, profoundly changing Sam's understanding of who she is and who she wants to become. In A Town with No Noise, fact and fiction combine to ask difficult questions about the communities we build, questions that are as relevant today as ever: Who stays? Who is chased away? And who decides? About Karen Smythe: Karen Smythe is the author of the novel This Side of Sad (Goose Lane Editions, 2017), the story collection Stubborn Bones (Polestar/Raincoast, 2001), and the critical study Figuring Grief: Gallant, Munro, and the Poetics of Elegy (McGill-Queen's U.P., 1992).

    About three-quarters of all the antibiotics in use today were developed from a type of bacteria that lives in the soil. But nasty bacteria are becoming more resistant to those treatments. So scientists are scouring the world for sources of new antibiotics—including the ocean floor. And they recently found a couple of good candidates at the bottom of the Arctic Ocean, off the coast of Norway.Biologists gathered many organisms during a research cruise in 2020. And they collected bacteria from four of those organisms, including a type of sponge and a scallop. The bacteria are similar to the soil-based varieties that have yielded all the antibiotics. But under the extreme pressure, cold, and darkness in the deep sea, they've developed many chemical compounds that aren't seen in their land-based cousins.The researchers isolated some of those compounds. And they tested them against a strain of E. coli bacteria—a form that causes severe diarrhea in young children, especially in the developing world.Two of the compounds did a good job of stopping the E. coli. And one of them did it without killing the dangerous bacteria. That's important because the E. coli isn't as likely to become resistant to the compounds that don't kill it.There's still a lot of work to be done to develop the helpful compound into a treatment for people. But the research demonstrates that we might find many new treatments for human diseases in the world's oceans.

    Dust to Dust, Weirdos! Welcome back to KEEP IT WEIRD!! The podcast for all things strange, unusual, paranormal, supernatural, creepy, gross, scary, sticky and everything in between! Everytime we get together we chat about something WEIRD and this episode is no exception.  WE'RE BACK from a brief hiatus so dont mind us as we spend the first fifteen or so catching you up on life stuff but dont you worry we make our way to the strange quickly as Lauren brings us into a WHERE IN THE WORLD (is Keep It Weird Going?) and we travel (astrally) to NORWAY! Ålen, Norway to be exact in a 15 mile valley known as Hessdalen where for almost an entire century very strange lights have been appearing in the sky.  No matter the weather, regardless of day or night these lights show up in bright whites, yellows and reds - sometimes for over an hour!  Sometimes they streak through the sky, other times they sway slowly back and forth.  But what the h e double hockey sticks are they?!  UFOs?!  Plasma?  Ball lightning?  A natural phenomenon we literally don't know about yet?!  We break down the scientific discoveries that we DO know along with all the questions we still have about the HESSDALEN LIGHTS. Then Ashley takes a different look at the sky in an ITS THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT!   Something is headed our way and its massive.  3i/Atlas is the third interstellar object (that we have ever observed) to pass through our solar system and it's en route as we speak!  Most experts believe it's a comet, although some are more skeptical of it's behavior.  But that's not why we're here-- we're here to talk about what some OTHER folks believe this object to be.  Something called the BLUE STAR KACHINA aka SAQUASOHUH- an apocalyptic prophecy from North America's own Hopi Native Tribes.  This bright blue star is said to come from far away and crash into our skies in the "Day of Purification" and is described as a "world engulfing cataclysm" that will end life as we know it for everyone who isn't truly Hopi. The only problem is that the legend didn't actually come from Hopi legends and it was written by a white man in the 60s.  OOPS!! Ah well, we'll get em' next time boys. Lauren finishes off the show with a mini segment called TIK TOKS THAT BRING ME JOY where she introduces us to three different content creators that have helped her get through the last month or so we've been away.

    The podcast discusses the launch and market reception of the new Norwegian crude grade, Johan Karsberg, highlighting its unique production setup, high-quality characteristics, and pricing dynamics. Despite logistical challenges and premium pricing, the grade is gaining traction among Northwest European refiners due to its favorable refining properties. Three main topics: Introduction and significance of Johan Karsberg crude: A rare standalone field in the Barents Sea, marking a notable expansion in Norway's oil production. Crude quality and market reception: Karsberg is slightly heavier but low in sulphur, with high yields of valuable distillates, making it attractive to European refiners. Trading logistics and pricing: The grade trades at a premium and is limited to local markets due to shuttle tanker constraints and higher transport costs.

    00:00:00 – Cold Open, Catchphrases & Alex Jones Week The boys warm up with “hey yo” catchphrase banter, then tee up a rowdy “Clips of the Week” from Alex Jones returning to air—wild out-of-context lines, masturbation jokes, and the general temperature turning up online. 00:10:00 – The Charlie Kirk Texts: “Too Perfect?” Deep read of the alleged shooter's immaculate, APA-style texts published by BBC; the crew doubts authenticity, riffs a dramatic reenactment, and flags how suspiciously exhaustive the exposition sounds. 00:20:00 – Utah, Investigations & Gizmodo's “Top 3 Conspiracies” Utah politics, drones over the event, and skepticism about authorities. Then into Gizmodo's roundup of viral narratives around Kirk's killing; a Hill soundbite slips and calls him “Charlie King.” Epstein FOIA talk pops up in hearings. 00:30:00 – “Just Look Harder” Theories & Palm-Gun Claims They dissect the crowd-video frame-hunting—hand signals, bodyguard moves—and mock the “palm gun” theory (Vince/VENIS cameo chatter), landing on “guy probably just scratched his arm.” 00:40:00 – Who's to Blame? Plus Star Trek Reactions They caution it's still early, call out info releases that muddy the waters, and pivot to fandom: Voyager's Chakotay posts sympathy while Tuvok memes “the only Kirk that matters,” showing culture-war spillover. 00:50:00 – Wrong-House Raid in Texas Breakdown of a local TV segment: Grand Prairie police hit the wrong address, shoot a homeowner in his own garage, then pursue charges against him—family demands accountability.

    Episode #398: The Telenor scandal has emerged as one of the most serious blows to Norway's reputation as a champion of peace and human rights. Nicolai Prydz, author and long-time observer of Myanmar, calls it “the largest scandal in Norway, but it's under the carpet. Nobody wants to tell it.” When Telenor entered Myanmar in 2014, only 7% of the population owned a mobile phone. Backed by Norway's decision to lift sanctions and forgive $3 billion in debt, the company quickly expanded to more than 20 million users and generated hundreds of millions in annual profits. Norwegian politicians hailed it as a model of how business could support democracy. But Prydz stresses the transition was never real. The 2008 constitution guaranteed the military permanent power. Ordinary people, however, placed their trust in Telenor, associating it with Norway's peace reputation. That trust was betrayed after the February 2021 coup. The junta demanded sensitive telecom data— locations, call records, contact lists— of activists and opposition leaders. Myanmar Now reported Telenor complied over 200 times. Prydz is blunt: “Of course, you don't come back the 20th or 21st time if it's not of any use!” When challenged, Telenor never denied its cooperation, claiming refusal would endanger staff. The company also left intact surveillance equipment capable of monitoring networks nationwide. In 2022, Telenor sold its Myanmar operations to Lebanon's M1 Group and Shwe Byain Phyu, a conglomerate tied to the military, effectively transferring the data of 20 million users to the junta's allies. Norwegian judge Hanne Sophie Greve has warned that Norway and Telenor could be complicit in crimes against humanity. For Prydz, the story is personal: his friend Ko Jimmy, the democracy activist he met in 2012, used a Telenor SIM until his arrest and execution in 2022. “The reason why I wrote my book is because I love my country,” Prydz says. He demands Norway face its complicity, investigate fully, and repair the damage, instead of sweeping the truth under the carpet.

    Fully 11.2 per cent of the adults in Ireland are employed in brain business jobs, a term for highly knowledge-intensive jobs in tech, information and communications technology, advanced services, and creative professions. Ireland now outpaces Sweden (10.3 per cent) and is just narrowly behind Switzerland (11.24 per cent) in knowledge density. Ireland ranks second in all of Europe in terms of knowledge intensity, and if the development continues, it could soon even outpace Switzerland as number one. The larger European countries are now significantly behind Ireland when it comes to the share of adults in knowledge-intensive jobs. In comparison, in Germany, 8.3 per cent of adults are employed in brain business jobs, while the rates in France (6.4 per cent), Italy (5.5 per cent) and Spain (5.4 per cent) are even lower. There is a strong link between expert density and the share of adults that are employed in highly knowledge-intensive jobs. Ireland and Switzerland have the same expert density, since 11.9 per cent of adults are engineers and scientists in both countries. This is the third-highest rate in Europe, next to Sweden (13.4 per cent) and Norway (12.5 per cent). Despite not having quite as high an expert density as Sweden and Norway, Ireland still has more people employed in brain business jobs. Brain business jobs tend to grow in countries with high expert density and lower tax burdens; the favourable tax and business policy of Ireland and Switzerland can explain why these two countries are on top. On a national level, it is still Western European and Nordic countries that have a lead. Central European countries have lower expert density and are still behind at the national level. However, the capital regions of Central Europe have enough experts to compete, and combine this with lower costs and lower tax burden. In the Dublin region, fully 17.8 per cent of the adults are employed in brain business jobs. This is the 10th-highest rate in Europe. In comparison, in Bratislava, Prague, Budapest and Bucharest, some 22 to nearly 25 per cent of adults are employed in highly knowledge-intensive jobs. "Ireland is one of the most expert dense countries in Europe, and might soon even surpass Switzerland as having the highest share of adults in brain business jobs, illustrating the benefits of a competitive business climate", says Nima Sanandaji, CEO of ECEPR. The share of adults employed in brain business jobs in Ireland has grown from 10.6 per cent last year. Ireland has experienced a strong growth of knowledge-intensive jobs. Trade with the USA is important for knowledge-intensive jobs in Irish companies. Future development of trade relations with the USA is therefore important for the future growth of brain business jobs. Klas Tikkanen, COO of Nordic Capital Advisors, emphasised the importance of combining high-quality education with favourable tax and regulatory environments, stating, "Having many engineers and scientists in the population is closely linked to the share of advanced jobs. We also continue to see a trend in Europe where countries with the fastest growth in brain business jobs tend to have lower tax levels relative to GDP. Nations need to combine talent supply with competitive tax burdens in order to grow with knowledge-intensive jobs." Fostering high-value-creating jobs remains important for the regional labour markets of Europe. Each percentage point higher share of the population of European regions employed in brain business jobs is linked to 0.24 percentage points lower regional unemployment. This means that in a region where 10 percentage points more of the population is employed in brain business jobs, the average unemployment is 2.4 per cent lower, compared to the typical European region. Ireland has particular relative strengths in pharmaceuticals, where 26,700 are employed. The country also has a relatively strong media sector, with 11 800 employees.

GEELY LAUNCHES EX5 ELECTRIC SUV IN UK Geely has launched its EX5 electric SUV in the UK, starting at £31,990 and offering up to 267 miles of range on a lithium-iron-phosphate battery with rapid charging. Featuring trims up to £36,990, the EX5 targets fleet buyers, includes a six-year warranty, and will begin deliveries in late October. VW DELAYS ID. GOLF AND ID. ROC TO 2030 Volkswagen has postponed production of its ID. Golf and ID. Roc EVs to 2030, with the ID. Roc debuting first on the new SSP platform, followed by the ID. Golf. The delay triggers a reshuffle of its plant allocations, with related internal combustion and EV model moves now set for clarification in annual planning later in the year. BERLIN PLANT RAISES OUTPUT DESPITE SALES DROP Tesla's Berlin Grünheide factory is increasing its production targets in response to anticipated market strength, despite ACEA reporting a 44% sales drop in the EU and a 39% decline in German registrations through August. Tesla attributes the downturn to Model Y design updates disrupting sales, with Norway showing strong growth and production revised upwards for Q3 and Q4. ALL-ELECTRIC AUDI RS6 E-TRON FUTURE UNCLEAR The fully electric Audi RS6 e-tron may be canceled, even as prototypes continue road testing, with Audi expected instead to launch a plug-in hybrid RS6 alongside its traditional combustion model. Both vehicles were planned to share RS6 design cues but sit on different platforms, and initial plans had the EV debuting before the plug-in hybrid's 2026 arrival. HONG KONG PURSUES LOCAL EV ASSEMBLY BASE Hong Kong is negotiating with multiple Chinese carmakers, including FAW Group, to establish local EV production facilities as part of a push for strategic industry and international expansion. High local costs and China's overcapacity drive suppliers to Hong Kong's financial sector, with major players like Contemporary Amperex Technology already setting up headquarters and listing on the city's stock exchange. LUCID TO EXPAND IN ASIA, BUT NOT CHINA Lucid Motors plans expansion into Asian markets but will avoid China, citing heavy subsidies and overcapacity as reasons for staying out. Interim CEO Marc Winterhoff expressed confidence in Lucid's technology and competitiveness while focusing future models on the $50,000 segment and higher, not the low-cost market. EXTENDING AUSTRALIAN EV TAX EXEMPTION COULD ADD 1.5 MILLION TO ROADS Extending Australia's EV fringe-benefits tax exemption to 2035 could add 1.5 million electric cars to Australian roads, according to Electric Vehicle Council modelling. The policy has driven over 100,000 additional EV sales since 2022, with further benefits possible for plug-in hybrids and the second-hand market. NISSAN AND CHARGESCAPE LAUNCH V2G PILOT Nissan and ChargeScape have launched a vehicle-to-grid (V2G) pilot in Silicon Valley, using Nissan EVs and Fermata Energy bidirectional chargers to support grid demand for local data centers. The project aims to set a model for broader V2G integration through California's virtual power plant network and beyond. FORD TOUTS MOVE TO LFP BATTERIES Ford will manufacture lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) batteries at its BlueOval Michigan plant from 2026, using CATL technology for future vehicles including a mid-size pickup. LFP batteries offer lower cost and better safety, though less energy density, and Ford remains open to evolving battery chemistry based on market needs and possible new plants. TOYOTA UK PROFIT FALLS TO £462,000 Toyota Motor UK's pre-tax profits fell sharply to £462,000 with revenues down over £135m, attributed to fleet mix management and compliance with tighter ZEV mandates. Despite a drop in market share, Toyota will expand its EV offering next year, including the all-electric Urban Cruiser SUV debuting in late 2025. USED EV CREDIT WORTH $4,000 ENDING SOON The U.S. federal Used Clean Vehicle Credit, worth up to $4,000 for electric or plug-in hybrid cars priced under $25,000, expires September 30. The credit drove significant price declines and saw models like the Tesla Model 3 and Chevy Bolt become notably affordable, making immediate purchases attractive for eligible buyers. UK REQUIRES LOCK UPGRADES FOR CHINESE CARS UK insurers have required Chinese car manufacturers to improve their vehicles' anti-theft devices and locking systems to better meet local standards amid rising theft rates, now at 102,000 annually. Brands like BYD have worked with regulators and added advanced technology to boost security as Chinese car sales surge in Britain.

    Maksym Butkevych is a prominent Ukrainian human rights defender. Before the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine, he dedicated his efforts to the protection of people whose rights were violated. When Russia launched its war against Ukraine, Maksym joined the Ukrainian army to defend his country. In June 2022, he was taken prisoner of war by Russia and accused of committing a war crime. The case was entirely fabricated: Russia sought to “balance” the real war crimes committed by the Russian soldiers in Ukraine and prosecuted by Ukrainian courts with invented charges against Ukrainian prisoners of war. Maksym was sentenced to 13 years in prison. He spent almost two and a half years behind bars in the Russian-occupied Ukrainian territories before being freed in a prisoner exchange in October 2024. He endured beatings, deprivations, and torture, but his spirit remained unbroken. We met with Maksym in late August 2025. Our conversation turned philosophical—about life and death, freedom and fear, hope and despair. *** Host: Volodymyr Yermolenko, a Ukrainian philosopher, editor-in-chief of UkraineWorld, and president of PEN Ukraine.

    This Day in Legal History: Final Draft of the US Constitution EngrossedOn September 16, 1787, the final draft of the United States Constitution was signed by the Constitutional Convention delegates in Philadelphia. Although the official signing date was September 17, the 16th was the day the finished document was ordered to be engrossed — meaning it was written in its final, formal script on parchment. This step marked the culmination of four months of intense debate, compromise, and drafting by delegates from twelve of the thirteen original states. The Constitution replaced the failing Articles of Confederation and established a stronger federal government with distinct executive, legislative, and judicial branches.Debates on September 16 included last-minute details such as how amendments could be proposed and the extent of federal power over the militia. The delegates had already resolved key issues like the Great Compromise (creating a bicameral legislature), the Electoral College, and the Three-Fifths Compromise regarding the counting of enslaved individuals for representation. One of the final acts on the 16th was the approval of the letter that would accompany the Constitution to Congress, urging ratification by the states.Though the Constitution would still need to be ratified by nine of the thirteen states, the events of September 16 set the stage for the formal adoption the following day. The engrossed copy would be signed on September 17 and later become the foundation of American law and governance.Maurene Comey, a former federal prosecutor and daughter of ex-FBI Director James Comey, has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration over her sudden termination in July. She alleges that her firing was politically motivated, stemming from her father's adversarial relationship with Donald Trump. The lawsuit, filed in Manhattan federal court, names both the Justice Department and the Executive Office of the President as defendants and claims Comey was given no reason for her dismissal. According to the suit, Comey had received strong performance evaluations, including one in April signed by Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton.Comey had played key roles in high-profile prosecutions, including the sex trafficking case against Ghislaine Maxwell and the recent conviction of Sean “Diddy” Combs on prostitution-related charges. She was fired just two weeks after the Combs trial ended. The email she received from DOJ human resources cited presidential authority under Article II but offered no specific explanation. When she asked Clayton about the decision, he allegedly said, “All I can say is it came from Washington.”The lawsuit challenges the administration's ability to remove career, non-political prosecutors and raises concerns about politicization of the Justice Department, particularly in cases involving Trump or his allies.Former federal prosecutor Maurene Comey sues Trump administration over firing | ReutersElon Musk's company X Corp has settled a trademark dispute with legal marketing firm X Social Media over the use of the “X” name. The case, filed in Florida federal court in October 2023, stemmed from Musk's rebranding of Twitter to X, which X Social Media claimed caused consumer confusion and financial harm. As part of the resolution, both parties asked the court to dismiss the case with prejudice, meaning it cannot be reopened. The founder of X Social Media, Jacob Malherbe, confirmed the settlement and announced the company will now operate under the name Mass Tort Ad Agency.The terms of the settlement were not disclosed, and X Corp did not issue a comment. The lawsuit was one of several Musk's company has faced over the “X” name, which is widely used and trademarked by numerous businesses, including Microsoft and Meta. In its defense, X Corp argued that many companies have long coexisted with similar “X” trademarks and accused X Social Media of trying to exploit the situation for profit. This settlement follows another earlier agreement in which X Corp resolved a separate trademark claim brought by the firm Multiply.The dismissal brings closure to a case that raised questions about branding overlap and trademark dilution in an increasingly crowded digital landscape.Musk's X Corp settles mass-tort ad agency's trademark lawsuit over 'X' name | ReutersTwo U.S. law firms, Bartlit Beck and Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer, are requesting $85 million in legal fees after securing a $700 million settlement with Google over alleged antitrust violations tied to its Play Store. The settlement, which is still pending approval by U.S. District Judge James Donato, resolves claims that Google overcharged Android users by restricting app distribution and imposing excessive in-app transaction fees. Under the agreement, $630 million will go to a consumer fund, with another $70 million allocated to a state-managed fund shared by all 50 states, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.Consumers are expected to receive a minimum of $2, with additional compensation based on their Play Store spending from August 2016 to September 2023. Google also agreed to ease restrictions on app developers, allowing them to inform users about alternative payment methods and enabling easier direct app downloads from the web. The fee request amounts to approximately 13.5% of the consumer settlement fund, and the firms say they invested nearly 100,000 hours over more than three years.While Judge Donato previously raised concerns about the scope of the deal, no U.S. state has objected to the fee request so far. Google has not admitted any wrongdoing as part of the settlement, and users will still have the opportunity to raise objections before final approval.Lawyers behind $700 million Google settlement ask for $85 million fee award | ReutersMy column for Bloomberg this week looks at Norway's recent national election, which effectively became a referendum on one of the last remaining wealth taxes in Europe. Despite having a $2 trillion sovereign wealth fund and no immediate fiscal need for a wealth tax, Norwegians narrowly backed the Labour Party, signaling that voters still care about fairness in taxation—even when the government doesn't need the money. In a global landscape where wealth taxes have mostly disappeared, this was a small but potent victory for the principle of equity.I argued that this matters beyond Norway. Wealth taxes used to be common across Europe, but most were abandoned due to fears of capital flight and elite lobbying. That Norway held the line—even amid billionaire threats and a populist surge—suggests that wealth taxes can survive politically when fairness becomes a central electoral value. It also underscores that symbolic wins can shape broader policy debates by proving what's administratively and politically possible.In the U.S., we lack Norway's fiscal cushion, yet we've persistently avoided taxing wealth. Policymakers often justify this inaction with fears about capital mobility, but I question whether we're really more vulnerable to capital flight than Norway is. The deeper issue is political will. Americans have long treated wealth taxation as politically toxic and bureaucratically unworkable, but that may be more a product of narrative than necessity.Norway's voters showed that fairness can be enough to win—even narrowly. But I emphasize that such policies require ongoing public defense; they don't sustain themselves. If we continue dodging the issue in the U.S., we'll be doing so not from a place of strength, but from a place of illusion. If Norway can defend taxing wealth despite not needing to, we have no excuse not to even try.Norway Wealth Tax Victory Shows Visible Fairness Still Matters This is a public episode.

Join us as we discuss the different types of rats—Norway rats and Roof rats—and how they behave around your farm. Learn about the diseases they can spread, the damage they can cause, and most importantly, effective strategies for controlling and preventing infestations. From rodent-proofing your farm to using natural predators, we've got tips and tricks to help you keep your strain safe and your farm running smoothly. Tune in to ensure your birds stay healthy and your farm stays rodent-free! Make sure to follow and watch our future shows. We plan to dive deep into the world of breeding and genetics, nutrition and health management, and provide essential tips, so you too can create high quality strains.  Whether you're breeding domestic chickens, gamefowl, or various types of livestock, this show is for you.  Join us on Bred to Perfection Live, Friday's at 6pm PST or 9pm EST on YouTube, as we discuss the benefits of creating your own strain.

    What does sea lice management have in common with one of the most famous problems in game theory? In this episode, we look at why rising lice levels in Norway reflect the dynamics of the Prisoner's Dilemma—where individual short-term choices can create long-term harm for the entire industry. We'll break down the latest data on lice pressure, explain why fragmented treatments are driving reinfestation risk, and explore how coordinated action, better models, and shared incentives can turn the tide. For more aquaculture insights head to our Fish n' Bits blog.

    Certain TASTES can bring back the REALITY of a previous experience. I just experienced that while traveling to Norway.  Similarly, in Psalm 34:8, God asks us to TASTE and see THAT the LORD IS GOOD. God asks us to capitalize on using the gift of tasting to help us remember reality.  Join me for 7 minutes as I remember some of the tastes of Norway, as well as some of the tastes of Psalms. Please subscribe, like and comment.

    In this episode I'm joined by Philippe Auclair to chat about some of the Arsenal players' exploits while on international duty, including Noni Madueke who impressed for England, and Martin Odegaard who looked good for Norway. Then there's discussion about the left-hand side, Eberechi Eze, and how a collection of players who can play left full-back can give the team more variation. We also chat about some more general football topics, including new charges levelled at Chelsea, the seemingly never-ending Man City legal saga, multi-club ownership, the possibility of La Liga games (and other leagues) being played abroad, and lots more.Follow Philippe on BlueSky - @philippeauclair.bsky.social : Visit Josimar at https://josimarfootball.comEXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/arseblog – Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee!Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.
