2025 has been a doozy in so many ways. And climate news has been no exception. Climate One hosts Ariana Brocious and Kousha Navidar look back at what the year has meant for climate progress: the good, the bad, the ugly — and the joyful. According to the World Meteorological Organization, 2025 will go down as one of the top three warmest years in the 176-year observational record. Climate-change-fueled extreme weather continues to wreak havoc on communities across the world. And yet, it's not all bad news. As Bill McKibben points out, we now live on a planet where the cheapest form of energy basically comes from pointing a piece of glass at the sun. And globally, renewable energy surpassed coal for the first time ever. Despite the federal government's attacks on climate science and policy, local climate action is still happening across the country and globe, and each of us holds power to make change. Guests: Adrienne Heinz, Clinical Research Psychologist, Stanford University School of Medicine Roxanne Brown, Vice President at Large, United Steelworkers Pattie Gonia, Drag Queen and environmentalistFor show notes and related links, visit ClimateOne.org Highlights: 00:00 - Intro 02:00 – 2025 has been the year of AI 04:30 – Trump admin attack on science, climate and environmental regs and rules 06:45 – Good news on renewables and the rise of China as an electrostate 08:30 – New York implements congestion pricing 10:00 – US has removed itself from global climate negotiations 12:45 – Remembering Jane Goodall 15:30 – Adrienne Heinz on how to support yourself and others after a weather disaster 25:30 – Roxanne Brown on how Trump's pullback of IRA, BIL and CHIPS acts have hurt American workers and industry 34:00 – Growing threat of disinformation in climate conversations 36:30 – Pattie Gonia on how drag performance fits in with their climate and environmental activism 51:00 – How joy is strategic 53:30 – A look ahead at 2026 ***** Support Climate One by going ad-free!

Today's guest is Quintin Torres, a strength and performance coach specializing in Marinovich/Heus inspired training methods. With a background in martial arts, Quintin focuses on movement quality, coordination, and individualized methods that help athletes build strength that truly transfers to sport. So often in athletic development, it is only the “hard” or easily quantifiable qualities that we look to develop. Although these are vital, sport itself (even output sports) live “in between the cracks” of maximal outputs, and then movement quality. Training rarely looks to infuse a full spectrum of athletic qualities, yet programming such as that put forth by Marv Marinovich years ago, does capture many of these dynamics. On today's show, Quintin and I explore the Marinovich nervous system training philosophy, contrasting “soft” qualities like reactivity, rhythm, coordination, and perception with traditional hard metrics such as max strength. We discuss why MMA has embraced these methods, the limits of barbell-centric programming, and the importance of observation, experimentation, and individualized coaching. The conversation emphasizes training transfer to sport, creativity, and maintaining athlete adaptability, longevity, and engagement beyond chasing isolated numbers.

(https://www.just-fly-sports.com/podcast-home/) Timestamps 0:00 – Quintin's background and entry into nervous system training 6:18 – Why Marinovich methods resonate in MMA 10:04 – Soft qualities versus hard qualities in performance 16:11 – Assessment driven training and athlete context 27:05 – One on one coaching versus group models 31:41 – Training quality, group size, and real world constraints 40:12 – Foot strength, barefoot work, and bottom up thinking 1:13:09 – Strength without compression and alternative tools 1:25:55 – Manual resistance and simple coaching tools 1:27:41 – Teaching, sharing, and coaching philosophy Actionable Takeaways Nervous system training priorities Train soft qualities like rhythm, timing, coordination, and fluidity with the same intent as maximal strength. Recognize that many performance qualities cannot be easily measured, but still decide outcomes in sport. Do not confuse testing well in the weight room with performing well in competition. Why MMA accelerates innovation High consequences in MMA force athletes and coaches to evaluate training effectiveness honestly. One on one competition allows clearer cause and effect between training and performance. Customization is easier when the athlete's output is fully visible and isolated. Assessment over templates Let observable movement qualities guide training choices rather than fixed programs. Consider genetic tendencies such as stiffness, elasticity, and coordination when designing training. Adjust tools and methods to the athlete instead of forcing athletes into a system. Soft and hard qualities integration Maximal strength still matters, but it should not destroy elasticity or coordination. Avoid becoming overly concentric dominant and losing reactive qualities. Balance force production with tendon health and nervous system adaptability. Group training realities Large group settings limit how much individual correction is possible. Use simple movements and constraints when training many athletes at once. Accept logistical realities while still trying to preserve movement quality. Foot and ground based training Treat the foot as a strong and adaptable structure, not a fragile one. Use harder surfaces and direct loading to stimulate neural input from the ground up. Understand that the feet heavily influence the nervous system and movement outcomes. Alternative strength tools Use flywheels, isokinetic tools, and manual resistance to reduce compressive stress. Achieve high neural drive without excessive spinal loading. Match resistance dynamically to the athlete's output. Manual resistance and coaching feel Hands and simple tools can outperform expensive machines in many cases. Manual resistance allows precise matching of effort and intent. Coaching feel and feedback are critical skills, not outdated practices. Quotes from Quintin Torres “The primary difference is we prioritize the development of soft qualities just as much as hard qualities.” “We do not need you better at training. We need you better at your sport.” “Barbell does not equal maximal strength. It is just one tool on the force velocity curve.” “As the quantity of athletes goes down, the quality of training can go up.” “Your feet are not fragile. They are designed to take abuse.” “There is no strength machine better than your own hands.” “A lot of what people call talent is just qualities we do not know how to measure yet.” “Results matter more when the consequences are real.” About Quintin Torres Quintin Torres is a strength and performance coach with a deep background in mixed martial arts and combat sports. A former competitive MMA athlete, he specializes in nervous system–driven training methods influenced by the Marinovich system, emphasizing reactivity, coordination, and movement quality alongside strength. Quintin works closely with fighters and athletes to individualize training based on biomechanics, perception, and sport demands, helping them build resilient, adaptable performance that transfers directly to competition.

Many of this year's most talked-about releases were, in some sense, diagnostic: from Ryan Coogler's “Sinners” to Paul Thomas Anderson's “One Battle After Another,” films offered up assessments of the nation's ills. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz discuss these and other reflections of American life, which arrive at a time when reality itself feels more nebulous than ever. Then, the hosts consider the “broken mirror” of A.I., and how the second Trump Administration's effort to erase unflattering chapters of U.S. history has further muddied the distinction between fact and fiction. Despite these dark developments, the art that's emerged from this moment, much of it focussed on activists and renegades seeking change, also functions as a warning against stasis. Cunningham says, of the cultural shift: “This fixation on democracy on the ground—whether it's violent or not, whether it's misguided or not—I hope describes a yearning for more action. A move away from the mirror, and out into the streets.” Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Sinners” (2025)“Fruitvale Station” (2013)“ ‘Sinners' Is a Virtuosic Fusion of Historical Realism and Horror,” by Richard Brody (The New Yorker)“Eddington” (2025)“ ‘Eddington' and the American Berserk” (The New Yorker)“Gimme Shelter” (1970)“One Battle After Another” (2025)“One Paul Thomas Anderson Film After Another” (The New Yorker)“Bugonia” (2025)“Art in the Age of Artificial Intelligence” (The New Yorker)“Our Fads, Ourselves” (The New Yorker)New episodes drop every Thursday.

As usual in the final episode of the year, we hand out three awards for what we think are some of the finest pieces of information systems scholarship produced this year. Except that this time, we are live at the International Conference on Information Systems in Nashville, Tennessee, in a room packed with our listeners. While this means the quality of the audio of our recording is not so great, the quality of the papers we honor this year is. And with a room full of laughter celebrating great information systems scholarship, we end the year on a high note. Congratulations to Stefan, Christoph, and Jan for winning the Trailblazing Research Award, John and Prasanna for winning the Elegant Scholarship Award, and Yanzhen, Huaxia and Andrew for winning the Innovative Method Award 2025.

It feels productive and addictive at times - but research shows it often magnifies negative emotion, narrows perspective, and predicts depression, anxiety, relapse, and stalled healing.If you grew up intelligent, self-reliant, and undertrained in emotional regulation, your brilliance may actually be working against you - not because you're broken, but because your nervous system never learned how to feel safe before solving problems.In this episode, I share the turning point from my own journey- how insight kept piling up while real-life results didn't change and ground it in long-term psychological research. Large-scale longitudinal studies show that rumination predicts the onset of depression (even in people who weren't depressed to begin with), increases anxiety and trauma symptoms, and is linked to poorer outcomes in talk-based therapies when rumination isn't addressed directly.We break down what actually helps: • Why problem-solving fails when the nervous system is dysregulated • How rumination keeps you stuck in defense instead of healing • Why insight alone doesn't create relief • How biological safety restores clarity, context, and forward momentumYou'll learn how compassion interrupts the inner courtroom, why your body—not your thoughts—holds the signal for change, and how to recognize the exact moment to shift from thinking to sensing.We also explore how rumination hijacks attention, causes you to miss real opportunities right in front of you, and keeps highly intelligent people stuck for years - not because nothing changes, but because their system can't perceive change.You'll leave with practical, body-led prompts you can use today:regulate first, name the feeling without judgment, then choose the next small, grounded action.Your mind isn't broken. It's brilliant and overburdened.Give it a safer body to think from, and clarity returns naturally.If this resonates, follow the show, share this episode with someone who overthinks, and leave a quick review to help others find it.

Today's Headlines: As of late Sunday, the suspect in Saturday's mass shooting at Brown University — which killed two people and injured nine — remains at large. Police released new photos after clearing a briefly detained person of interest, while local officials say there's no immediate threat. Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel falsely claimed a suspect had been caught, statements later contradicted by Providence police. In Australia, the death toll from a mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney rose to 16, the country's deadliest shooting in nearly 30 years; authorities say a father and son carried out the attack, and ISIS flags were found in their car. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is pledging even stricter gun laws. Back in the U.S., California police are investigating an antisemitic attack on a Jewish family's Hanukkah-decorated home, while federal authorities arrested four men accused of plotting a New Year's Eve terrorist attack. In Los Angeles, the son of director Rob Reiner was arrested on suspicion of murdering Reiner and his wife; Trump blamed the deaths on “Trump derangement syndrome,” drawing backlash. Elsewhere, the administration is arguing in court against providing live ASL interpreters at White House events and against halting construction of Trump's planned White House ballroom. A JetBlue pilot narrowly avoided a midair collision with a U.S. military aircraft in the Caribbean, and President Zelensky says the U.S. has agreed to security guarantees for Ukraine as talks continue.

The Brown University Gunman Is Still Out There—Here's Why They Can't Find Him #As the 48-hour mark passed on Monday, the authorities renewed their efforts to find the gunman. F.B.I. ballistics experts worked to recreate the scene. The police knocked on doors asking for security camera footage, searched back alleys and kicked through fields of snow. The FBI has offered a $50,000 dollar reward for information leading to the gunman's arrest and conviction. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

How should Christian faith shape work in an era of pluralism, fear, and systemic inequality? Sociologist Elaine Howard Ecklund (Rice University) is presenting new insights for faith at work through data, theology, and lived experience. "People love to talk about individual ethics … but what was really hard for them to think about was, what would it mean to make our workplace better as a whole?" In this episode, Ecklund joins Mark Labberton to reflect on moving from individual morality toward systemic responsibility, dignity, and other-centred Christian witness at work. Together they discuss faith and work, the gender and race gaps created by systemic injustice, fear and power, religious diversity, rest and human limits, gender and racial marginalization, and the cost of a credible Christian witness. Episode Highlights "People love to talk about individual ethics." "What would it mean to make our workplace better as a whole?" "People are much more apt to take us seriously if we first take them seriously." "Suppression of faith in particular is not the answer." "God is God and I am not." About Elaine Howard Ecklund Elaine Howard Ecklund is professor of sociology at Rice University and director of the Boniuk Institute for the Study and Advancement of Religious Tolerance. She is a leading sociologist of religion, science, and work whose research examines how faith operates in professional and institutional life. Ecklund has led large-scale empirical studies on religion in workplaces and scientific communities, supported by the National Science Foundation, Templeton Foundation, and Lilly Endowment. She is the author or co-author of several influential books, including Working for Better, Why Science and Faith Need Each Other, and Science vs. Religion.

On today's podcast:1) US negotiators offered more significant security guarantees to Kyiv as part of President Trump’s renewed push to end the Russia-Ukraine war, but the effort still appeared part of a bid to pressure President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on territory. The Trump administration offered to provide Ukraine with strong “Article 5-like” security guarantees — a reference to NATO’s mutual defense clause — as part of the current deal to find a diplomatic solution to the conflict, a US official told reporters, without providing any details. Later on Monday, Trump said a negotiated end to the war was “closer than” ever and that the US was working with Europe on security guarantees. But then he appeared to suggest Ukraine ought to give up land as part of the deal. 2) Nick Reiner, 32, was arrested and booked for the murder of his parents, the Hollywood director and actor Rob Reiner and photographer Michele Singer Reiner. The son was being held in jail in Los Angeles on no bail, the Los Angeles Police Department said in a statement on X. The case will be presented to the Los Angeles County District Attorney for filing consideration on Tuesday. Reiner, who directed 1980s classics like The Princess Bride and This Is Spinal Tap, was found dead Sunday at his home with his wife, both of whom appeared to have died from stab wounds, NBC News and other outlets reported, citing a source close to the family.3) Shock over a shooting rampage at Brown University over the weekend is giving way to frustration over the lack of video footage and suspects. Authorities in Providence, Rhode Island, said Monday they hadn’t identified any new persons of interest in the shooting that killed two people and injured nine on the Ivy League campus Saturday afternoon. A person detained earlier was released late Sunday, and officials have said a lack of clear security-camera footage from inside the Barus & Holley engineering building where the shooting took place has slowed the search.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join us for a deep and surprisingly poignant dive into one of Chicago's most infamous cultural icons with award-winning journalist Josh Noel. As the author of "Malort: The Redemption of a Revered and Reviled Spirit," Noel unravels the complex history of the intensely bitter spirit that is both a local rite of passage and a national curiosity. He brings his signature depth as a longtime Chicago Tribune reporter to explore how a drink known for its challenging taste forged an unbreakable bond with a city's identity. This conversation goes beyond the memes and dare shots to examine Malort's Swedish roots, its tumultuous American journey, and its unlikely modern resurgence as a symbol of pride. Noel argues that this spirit's story is a profound reflection on taste, tradition, and what it means to belong. Listen in for a fascinating case study on how the most reviled drink in the bar became so deeply revered.

Police in Providence have released a man who was held as a person of interest in the Brown University shooting. The attack left two students dead and nine others injured. Providence Mayor Brett Smiley says the investigation is moving in a “different direction." The first victim has been identified as sophomore Ella Cook. President Donald Trump paid his respects to the victims and wished the injured a speedy recovery.Authorities are still investigating a shooting that took place at Sydney's Bondi Beach that killed 15 people during a Hanukkah celebration. Police say two gunmen opened fire on a crowd of about a thousand people. One of the shooters died during the exchange of gunfire and the other is in the hospital. The shooting is being condemned all over the world as an anti-Semitic attack.An ISIS terrorist ambush in Syria killed two U.S. National Guard troops from Iowa and a U.S. civilian interpreter. An Iowa police chief identified his son, Nate Howard, as one of the two soldiers killed. Names of the other victims are expected to be released later today. The ISIS terrorist was killed, and five people suspected of having a connection to the gunman were arrested. Trump is warning of a "very serious retaliation." Lawmakers are encouraging the continued cooperation to totally dismantle ISIS.

This week on Fat Science, Dr. Emily Cooper, Mark Wright, and Andrea Taylor unpack the biggest GLP-1 headlines from around the world—from the World Health Organization's first-ever GLP-1 obesity guidelines to access battles, brain research, and the coming wave of generics and new meds.Dr. Cooper explains what the WHO's move really means for patients, why long-term treatment matters, and how policy decisions in places like California and India could reshape who actually benefits from these breakthroughs. This isn't hype—it's metabolic medicine, health-system reality, and grounded hope.Key Questions AnsweredWhy is the WHO's new guidance on GLP-1s for obesity such a historic turning point?What does it mean to treat obesity as a chronic, relapsing disease—not a willpower problem?Why do GLP-1s usually need to be taken long term, and how is that similar to blood pressure or cholesterol meds?How should GLP-1s be paired with metabolic care—fueling, sleep, movement, and real clinical oversight?What did the “stone cold negative” Alzheimer's trials show—and why are addiction trials still promising?How could India's launch of Ozempic and future generics impact global pricing and access?What new GLP-1 and metabolic drugs are on the horizon (like orforglipron, higher-dose oral semaglutide, and GLP-1/amylin combos)?Key TakeawaysWHO is catching up to the science. Obesity is affirmed as a chronic, relapsing disease that deserves pharmacologic treatment—not “eat less, move more” lectures or moral judgment.Long-term meds are the rule, not the exception. Stopping GLP-1s usually leads to weight and risk factors returning, just like stopping blood-pressure meds. That's physiology, not failure.Behavior ≠ blame. WHO calls for pairing GLP-1s with “behavioral” care—but Dr. Cooper reframes this around fueling, sleep, and supported habits, not deprivation or diet culture.Access is the battleground. Even as WHO elevates GLP-1s, programs like California's Medi-Cal are cutting coverage for obesity, a move Dr. Cooper calls penny-wise and pound-foolish given the downstream costs of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.Brain outcomes are nuanced. Large oral semaglutide trials failed to slow Alzheimer's, but GLP-1s (and other obesity meds) still show promise for addiction by modulating reward pathways and the “internal drug factory” (POMC).Global markets are shifting. India's huge population, looming Ozempic patent expirations, and emerging generics could eventually drive prices down—especially as more manufacturers compete.New meds may expand options. Orforglipron (a small-molecule oral GLP-1), higher-dose oral semaglutide, and a weekly GLP-1/amylin combo could bring more flexible, powerful, and potentially more affordable tools.Dr. Cooper's Actionable TipsThink of obesity treatment like any chronic disease: long-term, medical, and individualized—not a short-term “diet.”If you're using a GLP-1, pair it with real metabolic care: consistent fueling (not under-eating), good sleep, and appropriately fueled exercise.Be cautious with “cheap” or unsanctioned online GLP-1 options—especially if you're being squeezed out of coverage. Safety and oversight matter.Remember there are other evidence-based obesity meds beyond GLP-1s; if you can't tolerate or access one class, ask your clinician about alternatives.Notable Quote“Your metabolism is a lifelong issue.

In this episode of the Chuck ToddCast, Chuck confronts the alarming rise of antisemitism following a mass shooting that targeted Jews in Australia on the first night of Hanukkah, reflecting on how hatred now crosses traditional political lines and sharing his own family’s experiences. He argues that social media has become a primary accelerant—profiting from outrage, trapping people in media silos, and rewarding the most extreme voices—while insisting that free speech does not guarantee unlimited reach. The conversation widens to the urgent need for tech reform, growing support for restricting smartphones for kids, and public backlash to Donald Trump’s hands-off approach to regulating AI. Chuck also examines Trump’s foreign policy actions, economic excuses, and erosion of constitutional norms, warning that the U.S. is drifting toward “competitive authoritarianism.” Despite the dangers of normalization and resignation, the episode closes with a reminder that America still has the capacity to push back and reclaim democratic guardrails. Nick Troiano, executive director of Unite America, joins the Chuck ToddCast for a wide-ranging conversation about why America’s political system feels increasingly broken—and what reforms could actually fix it. Troiano explains how ranked-choice voting and primary reform can weaken the grip of the two-party system, produce more representative outcomes, and give voters in places like Alaska and Louisiana more meaningful choices. They unpack why partisan primaries reward conflict over problem-solving, how safe districts all but decide elections before voters reach the general, and why unaffiliated voters are often locked out of taxpayer-funded contests. The discussion expands to the broader reform landscape, from redistricting and campaign finance to unconventional ideas like compulsory representation and even randomly selected legislatures. Troiano argues that periods of political turmoil and inequality have historically led to democratic breakthroughs—and that today’s moment may demand the same. As power continues to consolidate and parties work to protect their advantage, this episode explores whether structural reform, rather than new personalities, is the only path to a healthier, more functional democracy. Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit the political and cultural impact of The Simpsons, answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment and recaps the latest in college football.

In a post capitalist society with equal opportunity and no need to work for all citizens, where does inherent human nature drive people? Do they rise to greater heights or become lazy and goalless? Are people still in control of their own fate when AI teach the children, AI provide a police force, and AI look after the mentally ill? Maji grows up when this type of society is brand new and she becomes lost, not knowing what she wants to become.

We ask for God's kingdom to come among us. Where you find the kingdom, there you find the King (Jesus). Where you find the King (Jesus), there you find the kingdom. We ask that He would give us His Holy Spirit to believe His Word. An earthly kingdom is found by the work of its people and by force. God's kingdom is found by the work of God in Christ and by His grace. His kingdom is seen now by the Word, Baptism, and the Lord's Supper. We anticipate beholding the kingdom that is yet to come, that we may keep our focus on what truly matters in this life! Rev.

Amala Klep Kremmel est une jeune femme au parcours de vie déjà riche. En quête de sens depuis son enfance, attirée à la fois par l'art, en particulier le théâtre, et la spiritualité, son cheminement l'a d'abord conduite à la découverte de la sagesse orientale.Elle a développé une pratique de la méditation et du yoga qui l'ont conduite à animer des cercles de formation, d'enseignement et de prière, en France et en Belgique. Dans ses livres, explorant mythes et récits, elle a partagé une vision forte et originale de la souveraineté de la femme.« J'avais beaucoup prié pour recevoir une foi inébranlable, je l'ai reçue » : Les épreuves qu'Amala a traversées, avec des moments où, comme elle le dit-elle-même, elle avait le sentiment d'avoir tout perdu, ont ouvert un nouveau chemin. Celui de la rencontre avec le Christ.Depuis, en s'appuyant sur une vaste lecture de la Bible, des Pères de l'Église, des grands mystiques de la tradition chrétienne, comme d'auteurs contemporains, dont Annick de Souzenelle, Jean-Yves Le Loup et Denis Marquet, Amala Klep Kremmel creuse un sillon large et profond.Large, avec les initiatives d'une jeune mère de deux enfants, pour qui la spiritualité doit être accessible et simple, où le corps, le cœur et l'âme participent : Des cercles de partage, de prière et de louange, nourris par la Parole divine lue dans l'Ancien et le Nouveau Testament, et ouvertes aux autres spiritualités.Large aussi avec les créations et les sessions théâtrales d'une actrice et metteuse en scène, pour des expériences individuelles et collectives en quête de connexion entre la spiritualité, la psychologie et les émotions.Profond, avec les livres d'une autrice féconde, qui a déjà écrit sur les rêves et leur signification, sur le chant comme médecine de l'âme, ou sur le féminin sacré. Profond aussi, avec les créations artistiques d'une artiste pénétrée par la beauté de la lumière, qu'elle exprime par ses icônes et ses vitraux. Depuis son enfance, Amala dit avoir toujours aimé rassembler les citations, parce qu'elles « ouvrent un chemin qui va directement de la tête au cœur ». D'où l'idée d'un coffret qu'elle a créé et qu'elle publie cette année, et qui contient plus d'une centaine de citations, essentiellement celles du Christ : L'Oracle de la Lumière Christique, qu'elle commente longuement au cours de cet épisode.Avec ces citations, Amala propose un autre accès aux lectures quotidiennes de l'Évangile, une pratique originale de la lectio divina enrichie, pour chaque citation, par une méditation et un rituel.Avec Amala, nous continuons la redécouverte d'un Christianisme de feu, si bien engagée dans les précédents épisodes de Zeteo. Nous allons à la rencontre d'une femme à la sagesse aussi étonnante qu'inspirante.Pour découvrir L'Oracle de la lumière Christique, le coffret créé par Amala Klep Kremmel, cliquer ici.Pour découvrir La Voie de la Grâce, le site d'Amala Klep Kremmel, cliquer iciLA PAROLE ET LE CERCLEChers amis, chers auditeurs de Zeteo,J'ai beaucoup de choses à vous dire, mais je vais tenter de faire au plus court.J'avais prévu, comme chaque année à la même période, un appel aux dons, dans une campagne un peu pensée, réfléchie, au mieux de mes capacités.Et puis tout est bousculé.Ces derniers mois, particulièrement depuis certains épisodes de l'été dernier, les choses changent autour de Zeteo. Elles ont pris plus de profondeur, d'intensité, il y a plus de partages aussi.Elles changent aussi pour le monde, mais pas dans le même sens.Parce que je sentais que les choses changeaient, j'ai cessé de faire des appels aux dons pendant plusieurs mois. Et pendant ce temps, les dons ont continué d'arriver, il y en a même eu un peu plus que les autres années aux mêmes périodesJ'ai vécu une suite de rencontres bouleversantes, et j'ai bien senti que vous étiez de plus en plus nombreux à être bouleversés vous aussi par ces rencontres.Parce que le monde change, qu'il donne les signes qu'il ne va pas dans le bon sens, un monde qui est tenté par le néant et qui semble aspiré par l'ombre… Il y a la double nécessité de l'urgence et de la beauté à accueillir et à relayer ceux qui portent le réel et la lumière.Il y a les témoignages tellement bouleversants sur Zeteo, je pourrais tous les citer.Pour n'en prendre que quelques uns, je pense à Denis Marquet, qui nous a rappelé que le Christianisme ne prend vie qu'au contact de l'autre, des autres, avec les autres, pour les autres.Il y a le message d'une des grandes invitées régulières de Zeteo, qui, parce qu'elle est une femme aussi humble que lumineuse, ne souhaite pas trop que je parle d'elle et donc que je ne nommerai pas. Elle dit qu'ensemble autour de ce podcast, nous formons justement un groupe, une communauté, celle des chevaliers de l'invisible. Avant elle, je n'avais pas réellement pris conscience de cette communauté.Il y a la rencontre avec Amala, et pour qui je n'ai pas hésité à bousculer le programme pour une diffusion dès aujourd'hui, à quelques jours de Noël. Quand vous aurez écouté cet épisode, je crois que vous serez nombreux à comprendre pourquoi c'était bien comme ça.Amala a un don particulier de rassembler toutes les paroles, les citations de la Bible, de Jésus, des grands mystiques chrétiens et pas que chrétiens. Elle a un autre don, celui d'une sagesse intérieure d'une profondeur et d'une richesse que j'ai rarement rencontrées. Et elle a encore d'autres dons, dont celui de créer des cercles, des communautés qui se rassemblent, qui découvrent et écoutent ensemble la parole biblique, qui prient, qui chantent le plus beau des chants, celui de la louange.Il y aura la semaine prochaine, juste avant Noël, la rencontre avec une femme à qui Zeteo doit tant… J'ose le dire, sans révéler encore son nom, un peu par coquetterie ou par goût du mystère, elle est avec Annick de Souzenelle, dont elle était tellement proche, la personne à qui Zeteo doit tellement. Cela sera un grand moment.La semaine dernière, Linda Bortoletto nous parlait du cercle, celui de la femme sacrée, et du glaive, celui de l'archange. Au moment de ce message, je vois un rapprochement de plus, celui du glaive, comme la parole, et du cercle, comme le silence et l'accueil.Le cercle, celui de nos communautés, et la parole, comme les citations d'Amala, la parole du Christ, celles de la Bible, comme vos messages, qui disent mieux que tout discours ce que ce podcast peut apporter de bien. Ces messages, vous pouvez les lire en cliquant sur le lien indiqué en bas de ce texte, à la rubrique « nos auditeurs » du site web de ce podcast. Ils sont très nombreux, et j'ai pu y ajouter beaucoup de ceux qui ont été reçus au cours de ces derniers jours.La parole, c'est aussi celle de Servanne.Servanne m'a envoyé cette semaine le message le plus poignant. Je voudrais vous inviter à nous unir en pensée et en prière pour elle, pour l'épreuve qu'elle traverse, pour qu'elle ne se sente pas seule, pour qu'elle soit rejointe par ce cercle qui nous relie, et par beaucoup d'autres cercles. Pour l'opération prochaine, pour la guérison de la maladie de Servanne, comme de tous ceux qui nous sont proches, pour tous ceux qui souffrent, qui sont seuls, qui sont dans le deuil, l'angoisse ou le désespoir.La guérison et la lumière viendront pour eux.Beaucoup de choses changent. Ce qui change pour Zeteo, c'est cette belle avancée vers la lumière divine que nous effectuons tous ensemble, dans la liberté belle et fragile de ce podcast. Et cela, malgré les temps inquiétants que nous vivons et les ombres qui menacent de recouvrir la Terre. La lumière finira par l'emporter, au creux le plus profond de l'ombre, des souffrances, des peurs et des doutes.Je reprends ici une citation que me confiait Amala pas plus tard qu'hier, elle qui en connaît des milliers, dont celle-ci de Marie Elia : « L'ombre a été tant aimée qu'elle en est devenue lumière. »Aimer nos ombres, c'est aimer la part de soi-même que l'on aime pas, dont on a peur, c'est aimer l'autre, c'est jusqu'à aimer l'ennemi, c'est suivre le Christ.J'avais beaucoup d'autres choses encore à vous dire que je vous dirai une autre fois.Et puisqu'à l'origine, ce message devait être un appel aux dons, je l'achève avec l'espoir et la confiance que si Zeteo est aligné sur la bienveillance universelle et divine, alors cette bienveillance saura susciter des donateurs parmi vous. Cette dernière quinzaine de l'année est le moment le plus décisif, pour que nous puissions continuer la mission d'un podcast à l'accès entièrement gratuit et qui est ouvert à tous.Je tiens ici à exprimer toute ma gratitude à ceux qui ont déjà fait un don, et à ceux qui vont le faire.Belle montée vers la lumière de Noël à tous, et ne l'oubliez pas,L'ombre a été tant aimée qu'elle en est devenue lumière.Guillaume DevoudPour soutenir l'effort de Zeteo, podcast sans publicité et d'accès entièrement gratuit, vous pouvez faire un don.

In today's Cloud Wars Agent & Copilot Minute, I explore Microsoft's addition of Mistral Large 3 to its Foundry platform and why it's a major win for developers seeking open, enterprise-ready AI models.Highlights00:11 —Microsoft Foundry is a platform from Microsoft, designed for building, customizing, and deploying GenAI applications and agents. It allows users to access over 11,000 models. Recently, Microsoft added a new model to its offerings, Mistral Large 3. Microsoft claims it to be one of the strongest open-weight, Apache-licensed frontier models available on the Microsoft cloud.00:53 — An open-weight model is similar to an open-source model, but with some differences. In an open-weight AI model, the parameters used to train the model are publicly available, not just for use or viewing, but also for downloading and modifying. More developers are turning to these models because they offer flexibility.01:40 — Mistral Large 3 is one of the world's leading open models optimized for enterprise applications. It excels in instruction following, long-context comprehension and retention, multimodal reasoning, predictable performance, and applied reasoning. Unlike its closest competitors, Mistral Large 3 is fully open, with Apache 2.0 licensing.02:08 — Each new model is carefully selected. It's not just a free-for-all. With Foundry, Microsoft is demonstrating its expertise in the space by keenly understanding what developers want—in this case, an open model with real-world enterprise applications. The pace of AI development is such that even incremental changes and improvements dramatically impact how businesses operate. Visit Cloud Wars for more.
UK Labour's Struggles and the Workers' Rights Bill: Colleague Simon Constable analyzes the UK Labour Party's struggles despite a large majority, citing Keir Starmer's low approval, warning that the return of "Red Rayner" and a new workers' rights bill preventing easy firing could stifle economic growth and deter foreign investment, worsening Britain's debt. 1904
Algorithms and automations have been buds for a decade plus.
We all know the formula: it begins with a dead body, and quickly introduces a motley crew of outlandish characters, each with a motive for murder. The whodunnit genre has been a cultural fixture since the days of Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie—the latter of whom has been outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare. Recently, though, the murder mystery has achieved a new level of saturation, with streaming services offering up a seemingly endless supply of glossy thrillers. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz discuss how these new entries are updating the classic form. “Wake Up Dead Man,” the latest of Rian Johnson's “Knives Out” movies, slyly incorporates social commentary, while shows like “Search Party” and “Only Murders in the Building” poke fun at the figure of the citizen sleuth. In our era of conspiracy theories and vigilante actors, there's also a dark side to the archetype. “This desire to be the hero and to follow the logical trails and take things into your own hands—it's very appealing, if you do it right,” Schwartz says. “It's great if you catch the right guy. If you don't, and you catch the wrong one, the entire foundation of society crumbles.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Knives Out” (2019)“Glass Onion” (2022)“Wake Up Dead Man” (2025)“Big Little Lies” (2017-)“The White Lotus” (2021-)“And Then There Were None,” by Agatha Christie “Rian Johnson Is an Agatha Christie for the Netflix Age,” by Anna Russell (The New Yorker)“The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side: A Miss Marple Mystery,” by Agatha Christie“Only Murders in the Building” (2021-)“Nicole Kidman Gives Us What We Want in the Silly, Soapy ‘Perfect Couple,' ” by Vinson Cunningham (The New Yorker)“The Residence” (2025)“The Adventure of the Speckled Band,” by Arthur Conan Doyle“Search Party” (2016-22)“The Hound of the Baskervilles,” by Arthur Conan DoyleThe “Encyclopedia Brown” books“Clue” (1985)New episodes drop every Thursday.

The 2026 World Cup is shaping up to be one of the biggest short-term rental demand events in history—bigger than the Super Bowl, bigger than Taylor Swift tours, and long enough to make or break an entire revenue year. In this episode, Jamie Lane sits down with revenue strategist and Happy Guest founder Rebecca Ballart, who has personally priced more than 10,000 listings worldwide, to help hosts understand what to expect… and how not to leave thousands of dollars on the table.Rebecca breaks down why mega-events behave nothing like peak season, how booking windows warp under immense hype, and why the “right” price can't be pulled from comps or pricing tools alone. This conversation is filled with practical guidance for hosts in every 2026 host city—especially those looking at early booking spikes and wondering, “Am I priced too low… or way too high?”They also walk through real-world examples, from massive wins at Hangout Fest to the hard realities when an event is suddenly canceled. Rebecca shares what operators can monitor between now and kickoff, how to think about length-of-stay strategy, when to adjust, and why the smartest revenue managers mix tools with human intuition—not one or the other.If you're hosting anywhere near a World Cup stadium, you can't afford to miss this episode.Key TakeawaysMega-events don't follow normal demand patterns. Expect sudden booking rushes, long periods of quiet, and another surge as the event approaches.Length of stay is a powerful lever. Shorter stays + higher nightly rates often outperform long minimums during multi-week events.Inventory size dictates upside. Large homes can safely aim higher, while 1–2 bedroom units compete directly with hotels and must price accordingly.Use pricing tools—but don't outsource your thinking. Algorithms can miss nuance; human oversight catches opportunities and prevents painful mistakes.Set guardrails before cancellations hit. Minimum event rates and watchful monitoring protect you from losing revenue when fans shift cities or plans change.Sign up for AirDNA for FREE

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/Fq8DmRShojk Day 6 of the Brian Walshe Trial happened on December 8, 2025. It brought forward crucial scientific and circumstantial evidence. In this Case Brief, we break down the shocking testimony that covered the Medical Examiner's testimony on preserved evidence—including blood-soaked hair, tissue, and carpet pieces—despite Ana Walshe's body never being recovered. Plus, the debate over a recovered Gucci necklace toggle. Witness testimony from Ana Walshe's HR Director details her call with a "polite and calm" Brian Walshe after Ana was reported missing, and the crucial clue found outside her DC residence: a wet Nespresso delivery box. We break down the timeline of Brian Walshe's frantic purchases at Lowe's, including the hacksaw, buckets, and cleaning supplies, and his attempts to evade surveillance cameras. The defense focuses on the lack of blood evidence found in the master bedroom subfloor and the "natural causes" argument, while the prosecution highlights Brian Walshe's Google searches on cleaning blood from a knife and the timing of his Band-Aid purchase. Was it a sudden death followed by a panic, or a premeditated murder? We discuss the jury's key task: deciding on the First-Degree Murder charge.
