AI-driven cyber attacks are skyrocketing in Canada, making it the second most targeted country for ransomware, while gamers are questioning if Grand Theft Auto 6 will finally be accessible for blind players. This episode of Double Tap Mainstream dives into the rise of AI-powered cybercrime and the accessibility challenges facing one of the world's biggest game releases. Canadian networks endured 17 billion cyber attacks last year, fuelled by weaponised AI and a growing market for “crime-as-a-service.” Derek Manky from Fortinet explains how attackers are using generative AI for smarter, faster ransomware campaigns, and why Canada's cybersecurity skill gap creates the perfect storm for risk. Meanwhile, Steven Scott and Shaun Preece discuss the long-awaited Grand Theft Auto 6 and whether disabled players will finally get a fully accessible experience. Drawing on insights from Steve Saylor, the Blind Gamer, the conversation explores how post-launch updates, mods, and AI-driven features could play a role in making massive titles like GTA more inclusive.

After sustaining a severe back injury, yoga therapist Jen Peterson, C-IAYT, found herself completely ostracized by modern, fitness-based studio spaces that prioritized rigid, hyper-flexible physical shapes. That turning point sparked a lifelong vow: to champion the truth that the pose is meant to serve the body—not the other way around.In this episode of This is Yoga Therapy, host Michele Lawrence sits down with Jen Peterson, C-IAYT, an Ayurvedic Health Counselor, Reiki Master, and the founder of Yoga Grace. Jen beautifully splits her time between her private practice and working as an integrated provider at the University of Vermont Medical Center's Comprehensive Pain Program, treating patients with complex chronic conditions.Together, they dive into why physical poses only scratch the surface of true healing, what happens when you bring bottom-up somatic tools into an allopathic hospital setting, and how the clinical application of yoga therapy can change the landscape of modern pain management.In this conversation, we explore:The Injury Pivot: How feeling isolated by Western studio culture redefined Jen's clinical framework of what a "successful" practice looks like.Yoga in the Hospital System: The shifts that occur in patient outcomes when bottom-up tools like pranayama and gentle asana are woven into traditional medical pain management.Moving Beyond the Physical Layer: A multi-dimensional look at why long-term healing is impossible if we only address the physical body (Annamaya Kosha).The Intersect of Yoga & Ayurveda: How circadian medicine and lifestyle rhythms change the way we assess root causes like chronic insomnia, anxiety, and digestive unrest.Advice for Emerging Therapists: The single most critical mindset shift a fitness-focused yoga teacher needs to make to transition into safe, therapeutic work with complex populations.Guest LinksConnect with Jen Peterson: Explore her virtual practice library, register for asynchronous recordings, and book private yoga therapy or Ayurvedic consultations at YogaGraceVT.com.Enjoyed this conversation?

If you've been told your labs are fine but you still feel terrible, this episode is for you. Dr. Pamela Cipriano is an ILADS-trained nurse practitioner who spent ten years watching her own son deteriorate from undiagnosed Lyme disease — dismissed by doctor after doctor — before she finally figured out what was wrong and healed him herself. In this conversation, she breaks down why standard Lyme tests are practically designed to produce false negatives, what the HNK-1 natural killer cell count reveals that most labs miss, and how a co-infection called Bartonella is quietly being misdiagnosed as ALS. She also gets into the Lyme biofilm problem — why even IV antibiotics can't touch it — and the stevia + serrapeptase protocol that finally broke through for her son. Plus, her emerging research on ivermectin for Bartonella, and what she's seeing with seizures triggered by Herxheimer reactions. If you or someone you love has unresolved neurological symptoms, autoimmune markers that don't quite add up, or a history of tick exposure, this is a conversation worth your full attention.

Mainstream media is collapsing, and now they're all pivoting to YouTube. MS NOW just signed a deal for YouTube, and even the New York Times is getting in on it. Will YouTube boost mainstream outlets over small creators? Probably, if we're being honest. Because something something advertising dollars. Meanwhile, in the UK they do it the old fashioned way... government interference. Watch the podcast episodes on YouTube and all major podcast hosts including Spotify.

Mainstream media rushed to cover the Graham Plattner story, but MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell completely stayed away from it. In this clip, we break down why O'Donnell didn't buy the initial accusations from the start, how the Plattner team allegedly ignored warning signs, and why some media figures choose credibility over chasing headlines.

The Antikythera Anomaly: Gears That Defy Time and History! Today we are going DEEP. We're talking about the Antikythera mechanism – that 2,100-year-old lump of corroded bronze gears pulled from a shipwreck off Greece. Mainstream eggheads call it the world's first analog computer. They say clever Greeks built it to track the Sun, Moon, eclipses, and Olympic games. Nice story. But here's the thing they don't want you asking: Why does this thing exist at all? Why was technology this advanced lost for over a thousand years? Why the sudden technological dark age?

You spend time reading ingredient labels, buying organic, choosing healthier foods—but what if the biggest threat isn't what's in your food... it's what your food is touching? In this eye-opening Fatal Conveniences episode, Darin uncovers the hidden health risks lurking inside everyday food packaging. From takeout containers and greasy wrappers to microwave-safe plastics and canned food linings, he explains how chemicals like PFAS, BPA, phthalates, and microplastics migrate directly into your meals—especially when heat, fat, and time are involved. Using newly introduced federal legislation, peer-reviewed scientific research, and practical solutions you can implement immediately, Darin reveals why food packaging may be one of the most overlooked sources of toxic exposure in modern life. Most importantly, he shares simple steps you can take today to dramatically reduce your family's exposure without waiting for government regulation. This episode isn't about fear—it's about reclaiming your sovereignty, making informed choices, and recognizing that what touches your food matters just as much as what's inside it. What You'll Learn Why food packaging may be contaminating your meals How PFAS, BPA, and phthalates migrate into hot food Why heat, fat, and time dramatically increase chemical exposure The truth behind "microwave-safe" plastic containers What the new No Toxics in Food Packaging Act proposes How endocrine disruptors interfere with hormones and metabolism Why microplastics and nanoplastics increase during reheating Which plastic recycling codes to eliminate from your kitchen Why grease-resistant paper can be just as problematic as plastic Practical ways to reduce your family's exposure immediately How choosing glass, stainless steel, and ceramic can lower toxic burden Why informed consumers—not regulators—will drive lasting change Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:35 – Sponsor: Bite Toothpaste 00:02:51 – The fast-food wrapper that changes everything 00:03:54 – Why packaging deserves as much attention as ingredients 00:04:51 – The overlooked Fatal Convenience hiding in plain sight 00:05:13 – Introducing the No Toxics in Food Packaging Act 00:06:10 – Why plastic isn't chemically inert 00:06:52 – BPA, phthalates, PFAS, and food-contact chemicals explained 00:07:49 – How heat, fat, and time pull toxins into your food 00:08:39 – The dangerous assumption that "legal" means "safe" 00:09:41 – Inside the new federal legislation 00:11:01 – The science proving chemical migration is real 00:12:08 – Why hot, fatty foods absorb the most contaminants 00:13:34 – Millions of microplastics released during microwaving 00:14:15 – Sponsor: Manna Vitality 00:16:09 – New research on microwavable containers 00:17:48 – PFAS: the forever chemicals in food packaging 00:18:46 – Fast food consumption and higher PFAS blood levels 00:19:24 – What these chemicals actually do inside the body 00:20:39 – Why carcinogens are still legally used in food-contact materials 00:21:37 – The FDA loophole allowing chemicals into the food supply 00:23:36 – Practical steps to reduce exposure today 00:24:13 – Why you should immediately transfer takeout into glass 00:25:13 – Plastics to eliminate from your kitchen 00:26:17 – Supporting better legislation and voting with your wallet 00:27:51 – Awareness creates freedom and better choices 00:28:58 – The future of safe food packaging 00:29:37 – Final thoughts: reclaiming your health through everyday decisions Thank You to Our Sponsors Bite Toothpaste: Go to trybite.com/DARIN20 or use code DARIN20 for 20% off your first order Manna Vitality: Go to mannavitality.com/ and use code DARIN12 for 12% off your order.

Heat, fat, time, and modern packaging create opportunities for chemicals to migrate directly into your meals, but awareness gives you the power to interrupt that process. By choosing glass over plastic, transferring takeout immediately, minimizing processed packaging, and making conscious daily decisions, you reduce toxic exposure while reclaiming sovereignty over your health. Real wellness isn't built through fear—it's built through informed choices repeated every day." Bibliography/Sources: Legislation & Government Sources Food Dive. (2025, September 11).

Following on from surprise atherosclerosis in 2023 that resulted in 3 stents to resolve 2, 95% and 1, 90% arterial blockages,  Tim adopted a carnivore diet as one of the known mechanisms to reduce inflammation, lower visceral fat and body fat, become fat adapted and improve gut health. After three months on the Carnivore diet, Tim's body weight had dropped 12KG from 82Kg to 70Kg and this provided Tim the confidence to stop taking statins and then fully tapered off gout medication (allopurinol).    Timestamps: 00:00 Trailer 00:27 Introduction 06:08 Health insights and lifestyle reflections 09:41 Managing gout with diet and medication 11:18 Cardiovascular health and lifestyle changes 16:44 Discussing statin medication 18:07 Concerns about statins 23:36 Regular blood work and health monitoring 26:54 Training and personal growth 27:59 Feeling better on a Low-Carb Diet 33:52 Media influence on Dutch eating habits 35:16 Meat consumption and culture 39:43 Retirement in Greece 41:21 Dutch greenhouses and CO2 44:45 Health and social media Join Revero now to regain your health: https://revero.com/YT Revero.com is an online medical clinic for treating chronic diseases with this root-cause approach of nutrition therapy.

Anime did not cross into Western culture in one clean movement. It arrived in fragments, through edited TV dubs, bootleg tapes, playground obsessions, fansubs, late-night downloads, and eventually legal streaming platforms.In this episode of Geekstorians, Dave picks up where Season One's ‘The Anime Underground' left off, following anime's journey from cult import to global mainstream force.We begin at the 2003 Academy Awards, where Spirited Away won Best Animated Feature without sanding itself down for Hollywood. From there, we rewind to the late 90s, when Dragon Ball Z exploded on Toonami and taught a generation of viewers to expect serialised storytelling, consequences, cliffhangers, and men screaming in fields until the landscape reconsidered its options.Then came Pokémon, a franchise that became so massive, so quickly, that many Western children did not even think of it as anime. It was just Saturday morning television, playground trading, Game Boy link cables, and the dangerous social power of a shiny Charizard.The episode also looks at Studio Ghibli's very different crossing: a studio that refused to compromise, resisted Western editing, and eventually saw Spirited Away become the first Japanese film to win the Oscar for Best Animated Feature.Finally, we move into the digital era, where fansubs, piracy, simulcasts, and Crunchyroll transformed anime distribution. What began as a fan-built workaround became part of the legal streaming infrastructure. The underground became the industry.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/geektown. Hosted on Acast.

The mainstream media wants you to stay terrified of the unknown but the truth about close encounters is far more empowering. Ufology is experiencing a massive paradigm shift as the victimhood narrative of alien abduction completely crumbles. Guests like Bridget Nielsen are rewriting the script showing that many who claim they were taken are actually a conscious contactee or experiencer. This episode unpacks the hidden spiritual agreements behind the extraterrestrial hybridization program and the existence of hybrid children living on higher dimensional craft.This isnt just about glowing lights in the sky, it is about a global spiritual awakening that forces us to communicate with multidimensional beings. Wake up to your galactic lineage. When you move past the Hollywood horror stories you find a beautiful intelligence working to upgrade human consciousness. Bridget shares her personal insights into how these benevolent ETs operate and why they are collaborating with everyday citizens. We also discuss the mechanics of the CE5 initiative which puts the power of disclosure directly into the hands of the people.You do not need a government official to tell you we are not alone when you can initiate alien contact from your own backyard. For any starseed listening this episode serves as a powerful reminder that your cosmic heritage is nothing to fear. We connect the dots between modern encounters and historical accounts of ancient angels proving that humanity has never been isolated.

This week your co-hosts dig into the significance of America's semiquincentennial and what it means to celebrate a milestone birthday in a country that feels as divided as it does hopeful. Then it's on to Washington, DC, where the beloved cherry trees are threatened by another pointless golf course. And finally we regret the rise of profanity in public life and wonder when politicians and TV pundits stopped minding their language.

CrossPolitic — Show Notes: America's 250th Birthday Special On this Fourth of July special, Gabe, Pastor Toby, Knox, and Steve Deace gather to mark America's 250th birthday — not with blind celebration, but with honest reckoning and confident hope.

The topic: Criterion released two director-approved 4k restorations for John Waters’ 1988 film Hairspray and his 1977 film Desperate Living. The disc releases include exclusive commentary tracks from Waters and some of the actors as well as bonus interviews. Waters’ trash cinema: Known for his provocative, camp films, Waters is considered one of the formative directors of gay cinema. His ‘trash trilogy’ of Pink Flamingos (1972), Female Trouble (1974) and Desperate Living (1977) showcased taboos and profanity that garnered Waters a cult following. Mainstream attempt: But he also brought in a more mainstream audience with his much more tame and accessible film Hairspray (1988) about an overweight teen in Baltimore who dreams of being on a local TV show that features adolescents dancing. And you can’t talk about Waters without talking about his frequent collaborator and drag performer Divine, featured in a majority of Waters’ films. Divine played Tracy’s mother Edna Turnblad in Hairspray. It was his last film role before he died. Guest: John Waters, American filmmaker known for his gay, cult classic films that delve into ‘trash’ and taboo Visit www.preppi.com/LAist to receive a FREE Preppi Emergency Kit (with any purchase over $100) and be prepared for the next wildfire, earthquake or emergency

Three years ago, Scott Dicker of SPINS joined us on Episode #082 of the PricePlow Podcast to talk creatine, collagen, and where sports nutrition was heading next. On Episode #224, Scott returns to grade his own predictions and dig into everything that’s changed since February 2023. The report card is mostly great news for Scott. Creatine’s move into cognitive health and older demographics played out almost exactly as he called it, hydration supplements kept climbing even as ready-to-drink sports drinks flattened out, and Red Bull is still the top-selling energy drink despite years of Celsius, Alani, Ghost, and C4 taking share. Scott, Mike, and Ben also cover where his 2023 calls needed adjusting, from ashwagandha’s staying power to pre-workout’s real exposure to energy drinks. From there, the conversation moves into new territory: the creatine gummy boom, GLP-1 ripple effects on weight management and protein, precision fermentation’s push into alternative dairy proteins, and Scott’s fresh picks for the next ingredients to watch. https://blog.priceplow.com/podcast/kaitlyn-kenna-smith-223 Video: Scott Dicker of SPINS Grades His 2023 Supplement Trend Predictions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDaC4LVirBk Detailed Show Notes: Scott Dicker Returns After 3 Years of SPINS Supplement Trend Predictions (0:00) – Introductions (2:00) – Grading the Creatine Call Three Years Later (3:30) – Sports Nutrition as the Testing Ground for Mainstream Trends (8:00) – Hydration Shifts From Ready-to-Drink to Ready-to-Mix (11:15) – Energy Drinks Continue Eating Into Pre-Workout Occasions (16:30) – Red Bull Still Reigns, But the Perception Game Has Changed (19:30) – Premium Pricing Reshapes the Creatine Category (22:45) – Creatine Gummies Go From Novelty to Mainstream (25:45) – Better Formats Win: Soft Chews and the Push for Stability (27:15) – Delivery Formats and the Rise of “Permissible Indulgence” (30:45) – L-Theanine and the Hunt for Stim-Free Alternatives (37:30) – Kava, Caffeine Modulation, and the New Wave of Session Drinks (42:45) – Why “Natural Flavors” on the Label Isn’t Enough Anymore (48:15) – GLP-1s Reshape Weight Management and Create New Companion Categories (52:15) – Active Lifestyle Meets Natural and Organic: A Consumer Venn Diagram (59:15) – Cognizin, Health Span, and Winning the AI Search Era (1:01:45) – Horseshoe Theory: How Niche Trends Find the Mainstream (1:04:45) – Precision Fermentation’s Long Game for Alternative Proteins (1:11:15) – Ice Cream and the Challenge of Refrigerated Snacking (1:13:30) – Are Functional Ingredients Welcome in Snacks?

New @greenpillnet pod out today! In this episode, Kevin Owocki sits down with Matthew Monahan (Ma Earth) and Holke Brammer (Hypercerts Foundation) to discuss a bold new experiment: a $1 million Quadratic Funding round designed to bring public goods funding beyond the crypto ecosystem.

And what does it take to make coordination mechanisms accessible to everyday people not just Web3 natives?
