As the doors of the world's most visited museum, the Louvre, remain closed amid a strike, one its greatest supporters has spoken to FRANCE 24 about its energy and its vital importance to cultural heritage.

Elaine Sciolino is former Paris bureau chief for The New York Times and author of the book "Adventures in the Louvre: How to Fall in Love with the World's Greatest Museum". She told us you can still fall in love with the Louvre, even though it is a difficult lover. She spoke to us in Perspective.

Luisa hat ein Problem – guter Sex fällt ihr privat außerhalb der Beziehung gerade schwer. Und wie es sich für ein echtes Freundinnengespräch gehört, sucht sie Rat bei Lenia. Der Hintergrund: Luisa lebt in einer polyamoren Beziehung und braucht sexuell viel Nähe und Abwechslung. Lange hatte sie einen festen Lover, der diese Bedürfnisse erfüllt hat. Doch seit er in einer monogamen Beziehung lebt, ist er nicht mehr verfügbar – und für Luisa entsteht eine spürbare Lücke. Sie erzählt, warum sie glaubt, sich selbst im Weg zu stehen: zu viel reden im Vorfeld, zu viel Druck, zu hohe Erwartungen. Und vielleicht schließt sie dadurch sogar potenziell gute Lover aus? Eine Erkenntnis, die ihr im Gespräch mit Lenia deutlich wird. Lenia berichtet, was sie aus ihrem Tanzhobby für sexuelle und nicht-sexuelle Begegnungen mitnimmt – und worin sie Unterschiede zwischen feministischen Männern und anderen erlebt. Außerdem geht es um Kommunikation beim Sex: Was passiert, wenn beide denken, der andere wolle „noch mehr“, obwohl beide eigentlich fertig sind? Und gibt es so etwas wie „zu kurzen Sex“ überhaupt? Die beiden sprechen über Lover, die sich entschuldigen, wenn sie kommen, und über solche, die sich so sehr zurücknehmen, dass ihre eigenen Wünsche kaum Platz haben. Und natürlich steht auch die Frage im Raum: Wirken Lenia und Luisa durch ihre Arbeit vielleicht einschüchternd? Eine Folge, die definitiv nach „to be continued“ klingt.

Convicted fraudster Brian Walshe stands trial for the alleged murder of his wife Ana Walshe after pleading guilty to disposing of her body and lying to police.

In Massachusetts, Brian Walshe comes face to face with his dead wife's lover in court. Prosecutors say the affair was Walshe's motive to kill his wife. Walshe says that's not true. Forty-three years ago in California, the body of Nancy Galvani was discovered floating under the San Mateo Bridge. For more than a decade, her daughter has suspected the killer was her own father. Last week, he was arrested. Updates in the cases of Luigi Mangione and the Gilgo Beach murders.

In this episode, I share the deeper psychological lessons inside the new Diddy documentary, not to debate guilt or innocence, but to understand the human systems that create cycles of power, harm, silence, and attachment. This isn't a Hollywood story or an industry story. It's a human story. The documentary made Diddy feel more human rather than less, and that's what makes it so unsettling. When you look closely at the incentives, the grooming, the rewards, the fear, the validation, and the primal drives behind the behavior, you start to see a spectrum that exists in all of us — the universal instincts for status, belonging, intimacy, dominance, and connection. I also talk about Cassie, Kirk Burrowes, and the partners who stayed inside that ecosystem, not to blame but to understand the psychological gravity of coercive control. When we understand the forces acting on people — the love-bombing, the fear, the dependency, the identity fusion — we gain clarity on why people stay, why people participate, and why some people break free. This video is ultimately about human nature, accountability, restraint, and how to build relationships where love and power don't collapse into each other.

Today on Ascend, we discuss Plato, education, the role of the teacher, eros, beauty, and much more drawing from the dialogues First Alcibiades and the Meno. Returning to the podcast, we have Dcn. Garlick, Dr. Frank Grabowski, Dr. Brett Larson, and Thomas Lackey.Visit thegreatbookspodcast.com for our reading schedule.Visit our LIBRARY OF WRITTEN GUIDES to help you read the great books. What does it mean to teach like Plato? In this rich, wide-ranging conversation the panel explores lessons on education drawn from Plato's First Alcibiades and Meno. The central idea: the true teacher is not an information-dispenser or job-trainer, but a lover of the soul who serves as a living mirror in which the student comes to “know himself” and is drawn toward virtue, happiness, and ultimate beauty.Summary:The conversation revolved around a single, radiant idea: for Plato, the true teacher is not a dispenser of information or a trainer for the marketplace, but a lover of the soul. In First Alcibiades, Socrates positions himself as the living mirror in which the young, ambitious Alcibiades can finally see himself clearly and be drawn toward genuine happiness through virtue. Education is therefore deeply personal, erotic (in the classical sense of an ardent desire for not only pleasure but also nobility and wisdom), and irreducibly communal; self-knowledge is never solitary navel-gazing but requires another soul whose loving gaze reflects one's own. The panel repeatedly contrasted this rich, teleological vision—where education aims at universal happiness, orders the whole person toward truth, goodness, and beauty, and ultimately points to God as the final mirror—with the thin, “unerotic” reality of modern schooling, which often reduces teachers to talking search engines and students to economic cogs in a materialist machine.A second major thread was the haunting, unresolved tension of the Meno: teaching demands both an able and willing teacher and an able and willing student. Virtue can be cultivated, but it cannot be forcibly downloaded; the student must respond, cooperate, and allow his desires to be re-ordered toward what is truly lovable. This led to broader reflections on beauty, rhetoric, place, and hierarchy: truth is beautiful and therefore insists on being loved; philosophy without rhetoric is impotent, rhetoric without philosophy becomes tyrannical; ugly buildings and disembodied logic deform the soul; natural hierarchy is not abolished by grace but perfected and placed in service of the common good. Throughout, the panel returned to the conviction that genuine education is slow, embodied, relational, and oriented toward the transcendent—an ascent that begins with a teacher who truly sees and loves the soul before him.Key words: Plato, First Alcibiades, Meno, classical education, teacher as lover of the soul, know thyself, virtue, happiness, eudaimonia, beauty, transcendentals, eros, mirror of the soul, rhetoric, philosophy, modern education critique, materialism, teleology, Socratic method, student-teacher relationship, hierarchy, imago Dei, Christian Platonism, and Great Books.This conversation was recorded April 2025.

For this final episode of our special bonus season, I'm taking things right back to the beginning by welcoming my very first podcast guest, the wonderful Helen Paris, author of The Invisible Women's Club.In this episode Helen chats about the incredible reader response to The Invisible Women's Club, the importance of female friendship, navigating menopause, and even gives us a little glimpse into her next book.

The latest collection of American Single Malts from Lost Lantern Whiskey is dubbed the "Scotch Lover's Collection," not because there are any inferred links to Scotland, but because Lost Lantern founders Nora Ganley-Roper and Adam Polonski crafted them to appeal to a Scotch lover's palate. We'll talk with Nora and Adam on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, Brown-Forman reports a 14% decline in quarterly profits, while Bourbon industry leaders are getting nervous about the long-term impact of Canada's boycott of American whiskies. We'll also pay tribute to singer-songwriter Robin Laing, who died this weekend at the age of 72. 

Why is it that some men leave an imprint on a woman's body, her heart, her energy, her memory, and sometimes even her soul… while others are forgotten by morning? What if the only difference is that the unforgettable ones have mastered powerful sex magic secrets, not the basic bedroom tips everyone already knows? In this Language of Love Bite, I dive into sex magic, not porn magic, not pickup tricks, but the real energetic, emotional, spiritual practices that turn sex from mechanical into magnetic. I break down the five sex magic secrets that give you more control, more depth, and more connection than any technique ever could. From breathing that expands your arousal instead of cutting it short, to intention-based touch that opens her body and her trust, to the one move most men skip that opens her body and her soul like nothing else. You really can't afford to miss that bonus move. I explore: Why sex isn't just an activity but an energetic transaction that imprints you on her body, mind, and memory The shocking reason you should stop “releasing” your orgasm energy/sperms  aimlessly  and start harnessing it like fuel How circulating your sexual energy turns you into the man who feels powerful, magnetic, and impossible to forget Why presence is the real aphrodisiac and how women can sense it before you even touch them How your breath secretly controls your arousal, your stamina, and the depth of the connection The hidden power of intentional touch that opens her body and unlocks her trust Why orgasm isn't the finish line but a doorway to deeper pleasure, insight, and intimacy The heart to heart connection move she will never forget and the one most men don't even know exists Let me know in the comments which one of these secrets you are trying first.

Today we return to our series about epoch-making trials with the case of the book they tried and failed to ban. In 1960 Penguin Books was prosecuted at the Old Bailey under the new Obscene Publications Act (1959) over its plans to produce a cheap, unexpurgated edition of D. H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover. How did the prosecution try to persuade the jury that the book was a menace to public morals? Who were the expert witnesses called in its defence? What were the decisive arguments? And why was the judge's summing-up such a mistake? Out tomorrow on PPF+: David discusses the book at the heart of the case. Was Lady Chatterley's Lover really all about sex? Or was it all about class? Or was it in fact about something else entirely?

Jaußan examines the characteristics and causation of the self-pity lover. This Parker type of individual dwells in some pity and victimhood and believe that the world is against them along with the odds within it. People this mindset think they deserve more than they actually have put into any effort in life and believe that they deserve the absolute best because they don't have it. A sense of entitlement prevails whether it's race or any other attribute they may associate value with while marginalizing the true words of others that made sacrifices for their rewards in life. They may assert and believe that someone does not deserve a certain partner based on their feelings that they should be with that person instead of the person chosen by the one they desire. We take a look at some of the characteristics involved with these individuals to make better life choices when it comes to a partner.

On today's episode of "did you hear this", we find out what shows Mike can't stop watching

A clear explanation of the crisis of masculinity, why modern men feel lost, and how to reclaim strength, identity, and purpose using principles of emotional strength, male identity, and the warrior mindset. The Crisis You Can No Longer Ignore You've felt it, even if you haven't said it out loud. Something in today's world has men drifting—uncertain, disconnected, and quietly frustrated. You're not broken; you're living in a time where the traditional markers of masculinity have blurred, collapsed, or been mocked into confusion. What you're experiencing has a name: the crisis of masculinity. Let's cut the fluff: this isn't about politics. This isn't about blaming culture. This is about you—how you show up, how you lead, how you navigate your inner world, and how you reclaim the parts of yourself that modern life has sedated. So today, we're going to walk through what's happening, why it hits you so deeply, and what it actually takes to rebuild yourself from the inside out. The Three Core Drives You've Forgotten Every man carries three ancient impulses—three internal compasses that once gave direction, meaning, and grounded identity. But today, these drives have been hijacked, substituted, or numbed. A Battle to Fight You crave challenge—not endless stress, but meaningful struggle that sharpens your mind, strengthens your resolve, and reminds you of what you’re capable of. Without a battle, you drift. Without a direction, you weaken. And when you ignore this drive, life becomes a loop of avoidance instead of agency, leaving you stuck in patterns that quietly drain your confidence. An Adventure to Live You need experience, novelty, and the feeling of being alive in a world that tries to keep you comfortable, passive, and predictable. Not artificial dopamine. Not scrolling. Real movement. Real uncertainty. Real growth that forces you to expand who you are becoming. A Beauty to Pursue Not just women, but connection, intimacy, partnership, resonance, and the deep emotional nourishment that comes from healthy polarity. The feminine energy that sharpens your masculine edge and deepens your emotional strength, giving your life richness, meaning, and soulful direction. When you deny these three instincts, you don't become “peaceful”—you become restless, disconnected, and quietly resentful of a life that no longer feels like your own. The Four Lies That Hijack Modern Men Modern culture sells men replacements for the real work. And most guys take the bait. Lie 1: Sex Defines You Sex feels good, sure—but it can't ground you, mature you, or build your identity in any meaningful, sustainable, or internally driven way. When men use sex as validation, they lose themselves and drift further from genuine self-worth. Lie 2: Power Makes You a Man Power is a tool—not a foundation. Power without purpose collapses quickly and corrodes your inner stability. Ask any man who “made it” but still feels empty, disconnected, and unsure about who he really is. Lie 3: Money Creates Meaning Money expands life, but it doesn't define life or give you the inner direction you're starving for. If you chase money without meaning, you become wealthy in resources and bankrupt in identity, clarity, and emotional anchoring. Lie 4: Men Don't Feel This lie is killing men from the inside out. Emotional suppression leads to emotional implosion and long-term psychological collapse. Emotional strength isn't about denying emotions—it's about mastering them and directing their energy with intention. What's Actually Happening to You You're not simply “unmotivated.” You're not “lazy.” You're not “falling behind.” You're experiencing the crisis of masculinity because: You were never initiated into modern manhood, leaving you without guidance, structure, or meaningful masculine direction. Your natural masculine drives were never explained, only shamed and misunderstood, creating confusion about your inner motivations. You were taught to perform, not to align, forcing you into roles that never matched your authentic identity or purpose. You learned how to produce, not how to lead yourself with clarity, confidence, emotional strength, and grounded self-awareness. In other words… You were told how to act like a man, but no one showed you how to become one. A Metaphorical Wake-Up Call Imagine a warrior who forgets what his sword is for. He carries it every day, but never trains with it. Never sharpens it. Never uses it with intention. Slowly, he starts treating it like a burden—something heavy, inconvenient, unnecessary. That's what's happening to modern men. Your inner weapons—strength, purpose, courage, discipline, emotional clarity—have been sitting idle. Not because you're weak, but because the world taught you to dull them. It's time to sharpen them again. When you reclaim these inner weapons, you begin remembering who you are beneath the noise—steady, capable, powerful, and fully responsible for the life you're creating each day. Reclaiming Yourself Begins Here Let's step into the coaching room. Step 1: Identify What's Been Numbing You You can't reclaim your identity if you're still sedated by distraction. What's numbing you? Overwork? Porn? Dopamine loops? Netflix fatigue? Emotional avoidance? Before reclaiming your life, you must reclaim your attention, because your focus determines the strength of your identity and the direction of your masculine energy. Step 2: Rebuild Your Internal Framework You need a structure—your structure. Not society's expectations. Not your family's scripts. Your framework must include: Emotional strength Personal agency Male identity development Warrior mindset principles This is the difference between reacting and leading, and it gives you the internal architecture required to make choices from clarity instead of pressure or confusion. Step 3: Reignite the Three Drives Bring back: A battle worth fighting An adventure worth living A beauty worth pursuing When these are active, you stop drifting and start leading, because these instincts anchor your purpose, fuel your passion, and reconnect you to the deeper masculine current you've forgotten. Step 4: Define Your Values and Standards Masculinity isn't defined by external performance—it's defined by internal alignment. Ask yourself: What do I stand for? What do I refuse to tolerate? What is my personal code? Who do I become when life tests me? Your values shape your identity. Your identity shapes your destiny, and your destiny expands when your standards rise and your actions finally match the man you know you're meant to become. The Conscious Warrior Path This is the work—moving from confusion to clarity, from drift to direction, from collapse to power, and from the numbness of survival into the grounded fire of intentional living. You reclaim masculinity by reclaiming yourself, rediscovering the strength you abandoned, and stepping back into the authority you unconsciously gave away. Not by becoming louder. Not by adopting a persona. Not by playing a stereotype. But by aligning your mind, body, emotions, and purpose in a way that restores your inner integrity and reconnects you to the man you were always meant to be. That's the Conscious Warrior—a man who chooses truth over comfort, alignment over approval, and identity over imitation. The Four Archetypes That Restore Masculine Wholeness To fully resolve the crisis of masculinity, you need a framework that brings structure back into your identity. That framework is the Warrior–King–Lover–Magician system — four archetypes that create balance, power, and psychological strength. Here's how each one becomes part of your rebuilding process: The Warrior: Direction, Discipline, and Courage This is the part of you that takes action — the decisive force that stops drifting and starts choosing. The Warrior gives you: Boldness in the face of resistance, even when fear, pressure, or uncertainty try to shut you down and pull you off your path. The ability to protect your values and stand firm when others challenge your boundaries or question your direction. Discipline when your emotions want a shortcut, allowing you to stay consistent when motivation naturally fades away. Relentless forward movement that refuses stagnation and teaches you to generate momentum through intentional effort. Without the Warrior, you hesitate and collapse inward. With the Warrior, you execute with purpose and rise with strength. The King: Order, Purpose, and Identity The King is the archetype that organizes your life around meaning. It gives you: A grounded center that stabilizes your decisions and keeps you from being swayed by chaos or external expectations. A clear personal code that guides your behavior, choices, and relationships with unwavering integrity. Standards that elevate your behavior and reinforce the type of man you expect yourself to be daily. Purpose that shapes your decisions, aligns your actions, and creates a sense of direction that few men ever access. Without the King, men chase validation and live reactively. With the King, men build legacy and live intentionally. The Lover: Connection, Emotion, and Depth The Lover restores your humanity — the part of you that feels, senses, and connects. It brings: Emotional strength instead of emotional avoidance, helping you process your inner world with courage instead of shame. Passion for life, intimacy, and beauty that reignites your enthusiasm for being fully alive and present. The ability to bond deeply instead of numbing out, creating connection that enriches your life rather than drains it. Without the Lover, life becomes cold, mechanical, and numb. With the Lover, you feel alive, connected, and internally whole. The Magician: Insight, Strategy, and Inner Mastery The Magician represents wisdom — the internal guide that sees patterns, anticipates problems, and helps you evolve. It gives you: Self-awareness that allows you to understand your motives, wounds, beliefs, and hidden patterns with clarity. Mental clarity that cuts through confusion and shows you the truth behind your thoughts, behaviors, and decisions. The ability to transform pain into power, using your struggles as fuel for deeper growth and self-mastery. Skills to master your inner world so your emotions, impulses, and fears no longer sabotage your progress. Without the Magician, you repeat the same patterns unconsciously. With the Magician, you grow with precision, intention, and wisdom. Bringing the Archetypes Together When these four archetypes work together, you stop living in fragments. You become integrated, stable, and aligned — a man whose identity is no longer split, confused, or pulled in competing directions. The Warrior gives you action, forward motion, and the courage to engage fully with life's challenges instead of shrinking back. The King gives you purpose, authority, and the inner structure needed to build a life rooted in meaning rather than reaction. The Lover gives you heart, depth, emotional presence, and the ability to experience connection without losing yourself. The Magician gives you wisdom, insight, perspective, and the power to transform your inner world instead of repeating old patterns. This is the antidote to the crisis of masculinity — rebuilding yourself from the inside out using timeless masculine architecture that restores balance, strength, and psychological coherence. And this is the exact path of the Conscious Warrior — a path that integrates your instincts, your intellect, your emotions, and your purpose into one unified force. This is the work—moving from confusion to clarity, from drift to direction, from collapse to power. You reclaim masculinity by reclaiming yourself. Not by becoming louder. Not by adopting a persona. Not by playing a stereotype. But by aligning your mind, body, emotions, and purpose. That's the Conscious Warrior — a man who lives centered, grounded, and fully awake to his potential. FAQ: Understanding the Crisis of Masculinity What is the crisis of masculinity? The crisis of masculinity is the modern collapse of clear male identity, purpose, and initiation. It's the disconnection men feel when traditional roles fade without offering new frameworks. Many men are left without direction, clarity, or emotional grounding. This crisis shows up as depression, burnout, isolation, and confusion. While external pressures exist, the real solution is internal reconstruction—rebuilding your identity based on values, purpose, and emotional strength. Why do modern men feel lost? Most men feel lost because they've been raised without guidance in emotional strength, male identity development, and personal agency. Society tells men how not to act but rarely shows them how to develop genuine inner stability. This leads to overthinking, self-doubt, and a lack of direction. When you learn to lead yourself internally, you stop drifting. Is masculinity toxic by nature? No. Masculinity becomes toxic only when it's disconnected from purpose, values, and emotional grounding. Healthy masculinity protects, builds, leads, and lifts others. Toxic behaviors come from insecurity—not masculinity itself. When men cultivate emotional intelligence and identity work, masculinity becomes powerful, stable, and deeply constructive. How can I rebuild my sense of purpose? Start by removing numbing habits and reconnecting with your core drives: challenge, adventure, and connection. Then define your values, create a personal code, and build your life around alignment—not approval. Purpose is not found; it is forged. Small, consistent acts of discipline and clarity reconnect you to your inner direction. Why is emotional strength essential for modern men? Because suppressing emotions leads to emotional implosion. Emotional strength isn't about avoiding feelings; it's about directing them. When you regulate your emotional world, you regain control of your actions, choices, and identity. This is foundational for resolving the crisis of masculinity and stepping into warrior-level presence. What role does the warrior mindset play in masculinity? The warrior mindset emphasizes discipline, clarity, courage, and responsibility. It requires you to confront discomfort, build inner resilience, and pursue purpose over distraction. This mindset gives structure to your male identity and anchors you when life feels unsteady. It's not about aggression—it's about alignment. How do I begin the journey of becoming a Conscious Warrior? You start by telling the truth. Where are you drifting? Where have you lowered your standards? What are you avoiding? From there, you rebuild your internal framework, strengthen emotional resilience, and reconnect with your purpose. You learn to live by a personal code—and that changes everything.

Chat Transcript: 7:02 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Hello 7:04 PM@Sheekago​​Hey all 7:13 PM@Sheekago​​I wonder if we're going to get two weeks of Cyber Monday. I think that's how long the Black Friday sales were. 7:15 PM@Sheekago​​That's how they get you. The big discounted great deal overpowers the fact that you're not even on the fence about playing. 7:15 PM@jaredknisely6213​​so that means you havent played any ff's after 7 7:16 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Believe it or not most games still release “on disc” and not just a download key. 7:19 PM@Sheekago​​I think you're looking at ten years, at least for FF7 Remake collection. You're going to want to wait until it's on sale... 7:22 PM@Sheekago​​Maybe he trained himself to reply while unconscious.

In 1 Thessalonians 4:1-12, God's will is not framed around finding the right job, city, or spouse, but around becoming holy - set apart in love. The passage reveals both definitive sanctification (already chosen and made holy in Christ) and progressive sanctification (growing more and more into that holiness), and then presses that identity into two intensely practical arenas: sex and work. In a Greco-Roman culture where adultery, prostitution, and cultic sex were normal, believers are called to a radically different sexual ethic that springs from their God-given value and the costly love of Christ displayed at the cross and pictured in Hosea's relentless love for Gomer. At the same time, in a community tempted to idleness and “busybody” living while waiting for Jesus' return, they are called back to quiet, faithful labor that refuses to burden others and instead reflects the God who never stops working for His glory and their good. Underneath both areas is the same heartbeat: those who are “loved by God and chosen” are to live out that love in their bodies and their jobs so that the watching world sees what kind of Lover and Master they belong to.

Did you know, in 2023, more than 39,000 people were diagnosed with HIV in the United States and six territories, with Hispanic and Black individuals each accounting for more than a third (Source. CDC) In this episode of LOVERS, Shan sits down with Jonathan Van Ness for a conversation about receiving an HIV diagnosis, the years he kept it private, and the moment he decided he wanted the story to come from him. Jonathan shares what it felt like to catch himself holding back during interviews, how choosing to speak changed his relationship with his own truth, and the sense of relief that followed once he stopped protecting something that shaped so much of his life. They also talk about the realities of HIV today, why knowing your status matters, and how tools like PrEP fit into the larger picture of staying informed and reducing stigma.
