Don't we all need a vacation sometime? Isn't now the perfect moment to take a week off, get away from our busy lives, and go deep down beneath the surface of the ocean? Isn't is relaxing to spend time, trapped in a collapsing underwater amusement park, eating fried tuna and harboring mysterious 4th-dimensional beings in the back of our consciousness? LeMu vacation packages are now available, and don't worry - despite the imminent collapse of the facility, you'll have plenty of time to unwind.Note: Please check this week's content warnings at the end of this description.This week, Sara and Runa dive deep underwater and hang out in a subaquatic theme park in one of Uchikoshi's previous works, Ever17: The Out of Infinity (2002). in May of 2017, a group of strangers all become trapped within the deep sea amusement park LeMu as an unknown disaster causes catastrophic pressure leaks and widespread system failures. Despite their dire circumstances, the park's geothermal generators remain online and the system's AI is able to keep everything running smoothly for now. In seven days, the entire facility will collapse to the ocean floor... but until then, they've got plenty of time to play around this abandoned amusement park. Naturally, the threat of not one but two mysterious viruses is a slight cause for concern. There's also the matter of the suspicious pharmaceutical corporation that funds the theme park, as well as its top secret ocean floor research laboratory titled "HIMMEL" or Heaven, but really it's not too bad! We've got seven whole days! Surely, someone will rescue us  in that time. Surely, nothing bad will happen before then. Surely, we won't intentionally lure an extra-dimensional entity who is capable of hopping between perspectives and influencing the people he attaches to. Ever17 is, in some ways, a traditional dating sim that allows you to choose between one of two protagonists (Takeshi and The Kid/Shonen) and it utilizes a simple point-based affection system to determine your route and ending. The trappings of a dating sim conceal an intricate puzzle box, however, and by the end you'll be hopping back and forth between characters rapidly, trying to discover the truth behind The Kid's missing memories, figuring out what year it really is, and learning why there's always still one life sign remaining in the facility even after everyone has seemingly evacuated. Ever17's themes, structure, and plot elements also connect to the most recent Uchikoshi work we've covered - AI: Nirvana Initiative, so we recommend listeners check that out before listening to this episode as well!As always, if you enjoy our episodes please give us a rating and write a brief review wherever you listen to podcasts - we don't have an advertising budget so your reviews and recommendations are one of the main ways new people find out about our show!

What answers lie at the end of our dreams? Who is the culprit behind the HB Serial Murder case? Can Mizuki stop the Nirvana Initiative? And, by the way, Dear listener...Are you a Frayer?This week, Sara and Runa run headlong through the second half of AI: The Somnium Files - Nirvana Initiative (2022) and finally unravel (Or perhaps re-tangle?) the twist of this story. We pick up on the right side of the flowchart this time, following Mizuki as she hears about the details of the case from 6 years ago and also sees Ryuki muttering the name "Dahlia Boat" to himself in a highly distressed version of his Somnium. What follows is a winding and perplexing investigation as Mizuki stumbles upon the right half of each corpse we saw in Ryuki's path previously, encounters Tearer - the culprit - and... hold on, that scene felt a bit strange, didn't it?Have you noticed, by now, that some of the transitions between these scenes... they don't seem quite right, do they? The flow of night into day, the actions character's take, Mizuki's rapport with Aiba - These aren't very consistent in her side of the game, are they?What's really going on here? What's hiding in the corner of our vision, just out of sight. Who really killed Tokiko... and who killed Tearer, the culprit of the Half Body Serial Murders?  Although AI: Nirvana Initiative is a sequel to AI: The Somnium Files, the game is designed to give new players an easy entry into the series and you don't necessarily need to have played the first game in order to keep up with Nirvana Initiative. That being said, as we've covered the first game previously on our show, this episode will contain multiple spoilers for AI: The Somnium Files including some mentions of the true culprit of that game and several key plot points there. Please be advised and definitely go check out our AI:tSF episode before listening to this one if you're curious about that game as well!Thank you for your support of Say it in Red and as always, you can find both more information about the show as well as bonus content at patreon.com/sayitinred.

What secrets lie in the corners of our dreams? What shape would our pain and trauma take if someone were to peer inside our most vulnerable thoughts and nightmares? How do you feel about cops doing magical girl poses in order to read your mind and judge you for it?This week, Sara and Runa set off on the pulse-pounding adventure of AI: The Somnium Files - Nirvana Initiatives (2022) and reunite with some of their favorite, and less favorite, characters from the original AI game. The sequel opens 6 years after the events of the first game, following an 18-year-old Mizuki with Aiba embedded in her left eye as she investigates a mysterious corpse... the right half of a victim's body, laid out cleanly across a stadium green. Not only is this freshly dead corpse alarming, it triggers a memory in Mizuki of another incident - six years ago, when the left half of this same victim appeared before her in a studio while filming a quiz show. Both halves of the same victim were cut cleanly at the molecular level, and both halves, despite being found over six years apart, were given a time of death less than a few days before their discovery. To find the culprit behind these Half Body Serial Murders, and perhaps to find the missing Kaname Date in the process, Mizuki tracks down the ABIS investigator who took charge of the original HB case investigation 6 years ago - Ryuki. A fresh recruit to ABIS who voluntarily gave up his left eye to make space for his AI-ball companion, Tama, Ryuki then recounts the details of his investigation to Mizuki and tells her everything he found, learned, and went through six years ago...Although AI: Nirvana Initiative is a sequel to AI: The Somnium Files, the game is designed to give new players an easy entry into the series and you don't necessarily need to have played the first game in order to keep up with Nirvana Initiative.

This post is public so feel free to share it.Transcript:KK: Welcome to ‘Solving Healthcare' I'm Kwadwo Kyeremanteng. I'm an ICU and palliative care physicianhere in Ottawa and the founder of ‘Resource Optimization Network' we are on a mission to transformhealthcare in Canada. I'm going to talk with physicians, nurses, administrators, patients and theirfamilies because inefficiencies, overwork and overcrowding affects us all. I believe it's time for a betterhealth care system that's more cost effective, dignified, and just for everyone involved.KK: All right, folks, listen. This is the first live cast that we have done in a very long time, probably a year.Regarding COVID, we're gonna call it a swan song, folks, because I think this is it. I'm gonna be bold andsay, this is it, my friends. I think what motivated us to get together today was, we want to learn, wewant to make sure we learned from what's gone on in the last almost three years, we want to learn that,in a sense that moving forward the next pandemic, we don't repeat mistakes. We once again, kind ofelevate the voices of reason and balance, and so on. So, before we get started, I do want to give acouple of instructions for those that are online. If you press NL into the chat box, you will be able to getthis. This recording video and audio sent to you via email. It'll be part of our newsletter. It's ballin, you'll,you'll get the last one the last hurrah or the last dance, you know I'm saying second, secondly, I want togive a quick plug to our new initiative. Our new newsletters now on Substack. Everything is on therenow our podcasts our newsletter. So, all the updates you'll be able to get through there. I'm just goingto put a link in the chat box. Once I find it. Bam, bam, bam. Okay, there we go. There we go. That's itright there, folks. So, I feel like the crew here needs no introduction. We're gonna do it. Anyway, we gotDr. Zain Chagla, we got Dr. Stef Baral, we got Dr. Sumon Chakrabarti back in full effect. Once again, like Isaid, we were we chat a lot. We were on a on a chat group together. We were saying how like, we justneed to close this out, we need to address some of the issues that we've seen during the pandemic. Talkabout how we need to learn and deal with some of the more topical issues du jour. So, I think what we'llstart with, well get Sumon to enter the building. If you're on Twitter, you're gonna get a lot of mixedmessages on why you should be fearful of it or why not you should be fearful of it. So, from an IDperspective, Sumon what's your what's your viewpoint on? B 115?SC: Yeah, so, first of all, great to be with you guys. I agree, I love doing this as a as a swan song to kind ofmove to the next stage that doesn't involve us talking about COVID all the time. But so yeah, I think thatwe've had a bit of an alphabet soup in the last year with all these variants. And you know, the most oneof the newest ones that we're hearing about recently are BQ 1, xBB. I think that what I talked aboutwhen I was messaging on the news was taking a step back and looking at what's happened in the last 14months. What that is showing us is that we've had Omicron For this entire time, which suggests a levelof genomic stability in the virus, if you remember, variants at the very beginning, you know, that wassynonymous with oh, man, we're going to have an explosion of cases. Especially with alpha for the GTAdelta for the rest of, of Ontario, and I'm just talking about my local area. We saw massive increases inhospitalizations, health care resources, of patients having been sent all over the province. So, it was itwas awful, right. But you know, I think that was a bit of PTSD because now after anybody heard theword variant, that's what you remember. As time has gone on, you can see that the number ofhospitalizations has reduced, the number of deaths has reduced. Now when omicron came yeah, therewas an explosion of cases. But you know, when you look at the actual rate of people getting extremely illfrom it, it's much, much, much less. That was something that, you know, many of us were secretlythinking, Man, this is great when this happened. So now where we are is we're in January 2023, we'vehad nothing but Omicron, since what was in late November 2020, or 21? Maybe a bit later than that.And x BB, if you remember, be a 2x BB is an offshoot of BH two. Okay. Yeah, if you're noticing all thesenew variants are their immune evasive, they tend to be not as they're not as visually as, I see this in myown practice, like all of us do here. You know, they are, well, I'm kind of piecemeal evolution of thevirus. Now, there's not one variant that's gonna blow all the other ones out of the water, like Oh, microndid or delta. Right. I think this is a good thing. This is showing that we're reaching a different stage of thepandemic, which we've been in for almost a year now. I think that every time we hear a new one, itdoesn't mean that we're back to square one. I think that this is what viruses naturally do. And I thinkputting that into perspective, was very important.KK: Absolutely. Zain just to pick your brain to like, I got this question the other day about, like, what toexpect what future variants like, obviously, is there's no crystal ball, but someone alluded to the ideathat this is what we're to expect. You feel the same?ZC: Yeah, absolutely. It's interesting, because we have not studied a Coronavirus this much, you know, inhistory, right. Even though we've lived with coronaviruses, there probably was a plague ofcoronaviruses. What was the Russian flu is probably the emergence of one of our coronaviruses areseasonal coronaviruses. You know, I think we had some assumptions that Coronavirus is when mutate,but then as we look to SARS, cov two and then we look back to see some of the other Coronavirus has,they've also mutated quite a bit too, we just haven't, you know, put names or other expressions tothem. This is part of RNA replication of the virus is going to incorporate some mutations and survival ofthe fittest, the difference between 2020, 2021, 2022, and now 2023 is the only pathway for this virus tokeep circulating is to become more immune evasive. This is what we're seeing is more immune evasion,we're seeing a variant with a couple more mutations where antibodies may bind a little bit less. But Ithink that the big difference here is that that protection, that severe disease, right, like the COVID, thatwe saw in 2020/2021, you know, that terrible ICU itis, from the COVID, you know, for the level ofantibody T cell function, non-neutralizing antibody functioning mate cell function, all of that that's builtinto, you know, humanity now through infection, vaccine are both really, you know, the virus can evolveto evade some of the immunity to cause repeat infections and, you know, get into your mucosa andreplicate a bit, the ability for the virus to kind of, you know, cause deep tissue infection lead to ARDSlead to all of these complications is getting harder and harder and harder. That's us evolving with thevirus and that's, you know, how many of these viruses as they emerge in the population really have kindof led to stability more than anything else? So, yes, we're going to see more variants. Yes, you know, thisis probably what what the future is, there will be some more cases and there may be a slight tick inhospitalizations associated with them. But again, you know, the difference between 2020/2021/2022/2023 is a syrup prevalence of nearly 100%. One way or another, and that really does define how thisdisease goes moving forward.KK: Yeah, absolutely. Maybe Stef we could pipe it a bit on, the idea that, first of all, I just want toreinforce like as an ICU doc in Ottawa with a population of over a million we really have seen very littleCOVID pneumonia since February 2022. Very minimal and it just goes to show know exactly whatSumon and Zain were alluding to less virulent with the immunity that we've established in thecommunity, all reassuring science. One question I want to throw towards Stef, before getting into it. Youdid an interview with Mike Hart. As you were doing this interview, I was going beast mode. I was hearingStef throw down. I don't know if you were, a bit testy that day, or whatever. There was the raw motionof reflecting on the pandemic, and how we responded and far we've gone away from public healthprinciples, was just like this motivator to say, we cannot have this happen again. I gotta tell you, boys,like after hearing that episode, I was like ‘Yeah, let's do this'. Let's get on. Let's go on another, doanother show. I'm gonna leave this fairly open Stef. What has been some of the keyways we'veapproached this pandemic that has really triggered you?SB: Yeah, I mean, so I guess what I'd say is, in some ways, I wish there was nobody listening to this rightnow. I wish there was like, I don't know what the audience is. I don't know if it's 10 people or underpeople, but I think it's like, I wish nobody cared anymore. I want Public Health to care. I want doctors tocare, we're going to keep talking because you know, Kwadwo, you've had folks in the ICU we we'vewe've seen cases in the shelters, we have outbreaks, like public health is always going to care aboutCOVID, as it cares about influenza cares about RSV, and other viruses, because it needs to respond tooutbreaks among vulnerable folks. That will never stop COVID, it was just clear very early, that COVID isgoing to be with us forever. So that means tragically, people will die of COVID people. I think that, youknow, there's that that's a reality, it's sometimes it's very close to home for those of us who areproviders, as it has for me in the last week. So COVID never ends. I think the issue is that like when doesCOVID And as a matter of worthy of discussion for like the average person? The answer is a long timeago. I mean, I think for the folks that I've spoken to, and the way that we've lived our lives as a family isto focus on the things that like bring folks joy, and to kind of continue moving along, while also ensuringthat the right services are in place for folks who are experiencing who are at risk for COVID and seriousconsequences of COVID. Also just thinking about sort of broader systems issues that I think continue toput folks at risk. So, one: I think it's amazing, like how little of the systematic issues we've changed,we've not improved healthcare capacity at all. Amazingly, we've not really changed any of the structuresthat put our leg limitations on the on the pressures on the health system, none of that has changed. Allof it has been sort of offset and downloaded and just like talking about masks and endless boosterswhen we've never really gotten to any of the meaty stuff. As you said three years into it, andeverybody's like, well, it's an emergency. I'm like, it was an emergency and fine. We did whatever wasneeded, even if I didn't agree with it at the time. But irrespective of that, whatever that was done wasdone. But now it's amazing that like the federal money expires for COVID In next few months, and allwell have shown for this switch health guys got became millionaires like a bunch of people, I don't mindnaming and I don't care anymore. These folks, these Grifters went out and grabbed endless amounts ofmoney. These cash grabs that arrival, the ArriveCan app with, like these mystery contractors that theycan't track down millions of dollars. So it's like all these folks like grabbed, you know, huge amounts ofmoney. And I think there's a real question at the end of it of like, what are we as a country? Or youknow, across countries? What do you have to show for it? How are you going to better respond? Andthe answer right now is like very little, like we have very little to show for all this all these resources thathave been invested, all this work that has been done. That I think should be the conversation. That tome needs to be this next phase of it is like billions and billions and billions of dollars trillion or whatever,like 10s of billions of dollars were spent on what? and what was achieved? And what do we want to donext time? And what do we have to show for it? that, to me feels like the meat of the conversationrather than like silly names for these new variants that do nothing but scare people in a way that isn'thelpful. It does not advance health. It doesn't you know, make the response any more helpful. It justscares people in a way that I think only detracts them from seeking the care that we want them to beseeking.KK: Yeah, I think you brought up a point to about or alluded to how some of this was the distraction.That was one of the points that really stuck home is that we, we didn't really dive into the core s**t, thecore issues. This is why at the end of it all, are we that much more ready for the next pandemic that wellsee, you know, and so like maybe Sumon, what do you think in terms of another tough one, are weready for the next pandemic? Do you think we've done enough? do we think are in terms of what we'veinvested in, how we've communicated to the public. The messaging to the public. Are we learning? Is myquestion, I guess.SC: I'm a clinician and I don't work with the public health and the policy aspect as closely as Stefan does.But I will say that, obviously, I've been in this realm for quite a long time, since in ID, I think that, youknow, what that's important to remember is that for SARS 1 we actually had this document thatoutlined all of this, you know, masking, social distancing, what to do with funding and all that kind ofstuff. Basically, I was actually interviewed about this, I remember back way back in 2020, and half of itwas basically just thrown out the window. I think that a lot of what happened is that fear came indecisions were made from emotion, which is, by the way, understandable, especially in April 2020. I'veshared with you guys before that, in February 2020, I was waking up at night, like nervous, that I wasgonna die. I that that's where I was thinking I it was, it was terrible. I completely understand makingthose decisions. I think as time went on, I wish that, you know, there's a bit more of public healthprinciples. You know, making sure that we're dealing with things without, you know, stepping onpeople's bodily autonomy, for example, you know, doing things in an equitable way, where you, youknow, we all know that every intervention that you do is squeezing a balloon, you must remember theunintended consequences, I think that we did. So, kind of putting that all together. I think, right now, aswe stand in Canada if we do have another pandemic. I fear that a lot of these same mistakes are goingto be made again, I should say, a disruptive pandemic of this because it's not forgotten H1N1, thepandemic it that was a pandemic, right. It wasn't nearly as disruptive as COVID was, but I do think thatinquiry and like you mentioned at the beginning, Kwadwo was talking about what we did, well, we didn'tdo well, and making sure the good stuff happens, and the bad stuff doesn't happen again, because this islikely not the last pandemic, in the information age in our lifetimes.KK: Zain, was there anything that stuck out for you? In terms of what you'd really want to see usimprove? Or whether it is messaging, whether it is public health principles, does any of those stick out inyour mind?ZC: Yeah, I mean, I think the one unique thing about this pandemic that is a lesson moving forward andfor us to kind of deal with I think we talked about messaging. This was the first major pandemic thatoccurred with social media and the social media era, right, and where, information, misinformation,disinformation, all the things that were all over the place, you know, we're flying, right, and there doesneed to be some reconciliation of what's been we have to have some reconciliation of some of thebenefits of the social media era in pandemic management, but also the significant harms the people,you know, we're scared that people got messaging that may not have been completely accurate, thatpeople had their biases as they were out there. I will say even that social media component penetratedinto the media. This is also the first time that I think we saw experts you know, including myself andSuman and all of us you know, that you know, could be at home and do a news interview on NationalNews in five minutes and be able to deliver their opinion to a large audience very quickly. So, you know,I think all of that does need a bit of a reconciliation in terms of what worked, what doesn't how youvalidate you know, good medical knowledge versus knowledge that comes from biases how we evaluatepsi comm and people you know, using it as a platform for good but may in fact be using it you know,when or incorporating their own biases to use it for more, more disinformation and misinformationeven if they feel like they have good intentions with it. I you know, I think this is a, you know, for thesociologists and the communications professionals out there, you know, really interesting case exampleand unfortunately, I don't think we came out the other side. Social media being a positive tool, it mayhave been a positive tool, I think in the beginnings, but, you know, I think I'm finding, it's nice tocommunicate with folks, but I'm finding more harm and more dichotomy and division from social mediathese days is compared to the beginnings of the pandemics where, you know, I think, again, there's justbeen so much bias, so much misinformation so much people's clouds and careers that have been, youknow, staked on social media that it's really become much, much harder to figure out what's real andwhat's not real in that sense.KK: Absolutely, I fully agree Zain. At the beginning, in some ways, I'll tell you, ICU management, thatwhole movement for us to delay intubation, as opposed to intubation early, I really think it was pushedby in social media. So, I think it saved lives, right. But then, as we got through more and more thepandemic, wow, like it, like the amount of just straight up medieval gangster s**t that was going on thatin that circle, in that avenue was crazy. Then just like, I mean, this might be controversial to say, I don'tknow, but news agencies got lazy, they would use Twitter quotes in their articles as, evidence, or asproof of an argument. It's like, what is happening? It? Honestly, when you think about it, it was it wascrazy. It still is crazy.ZC: Yeah. And I think expertise was another issue. Right. And, you know, unfortunately, we know of, youknow, certain experts that were not experts that weren't certified that weren't frontlines and a varietyof opinions and various standpoints and epidemiology, public health, intensive care, infectious diseases,whatever is important. But, you know, there were individuals out there that had zero experience thatwere reading papers and interpreting them from a lens of someone that really didn't have medicalexperience or epidemiologic experience, that chased their clout that made money and, we know someexamples that people that eventually had the downfall from it, but you know, at the end of the day,those people were on social media, and it penetrated into real media, and then that is a real lesson forus is that validation of expertise is going to be important. You know, as much as we allow for anyone tohave an opinion, you know, as they get into kind of real media, they really have to be validated that thatopinion comes from a place that's evidence based and scientific and based on a significant amount oftraining rather than just regurgitating or applying one small skill set and being an expert in many otherthings.KK: SumonSC: So we're just gonna add really quickly is that, in addition to what Zain saying. When this stuff bledover from social media to media, the thing that I mean, at least what it seemed like is he was actuallyinfluencing policy. That's, I think that's the important thing is, so you can have 10 people 20 peopleyelling, it doesn't matter if they're extreme minority, if it's influencing policy that affects all of us, right.So, I think that's important.KK: I'll be honest with you, like, I got to the point where I really hated Twitter, I still kind of hate Twitter.Okay. It was conversation. I remember Sumon that you and I had I don't remember it was we weretexting. I think we talked about this. But the fact that policy could be impacted by what we're throwingdown the facts or the messages that we were doing on media that this can impact policy, you had tolike, especially when there was some badness happening, we had to step up. We had to be a voice oflogic, whether it was mandates, whether it was you know, lockdown school closures, whatever it mighthave been like, the politicians, we heard about this politicians looking at this, the mainstream medialooking at this, and for us not to say anything at this point, like we had, we had to do something Sorry,Stef, you're gonna jump in?SB: Yeah, I think I think what was interesting to me to see and I think a clear difference between H1N1was that in a lot of places, and including in Ontario, across the US, where this sort of emergence of theselike the science tables, these task forces, these whatever you want to call them, it was like a new bodyof people often whom had never spent a day in a public health agency. Often academics that you know,are probably good with numbers, but really don't have a lot of experience delivering services, you know,all of a sudden making decisions. So I think there's a real interesting dynamic that when you compare,for example, Ontario and British Columbia, one has this science table one does not, and just howdifferent things played out, I mean, given it's a, you know, an end of have to, or no one in each camp,but I think what you see is like, there's a place there where like public health or you know, let's say,Sweden, you know, as a public health agency that didn't strike up its own taskforce that used itstraditional public health agency. I think was in a place to make more like reasoned and measureddecisions, and just was better connected, like the relationships exist between the local healthauthorities and the provincial health authorities and the national ones. I think when you set up these,the one thing that I hope we never do, again, is that something like the science table never happensagain. That's not to sort of disparage most of the people. Actually, most of the folks on the science tableI like, and I respect, say many of them, maybe not most, but many of them, I like and respect, but it isthe case that there was it was they weren't the right group of people. They weren't representativeOntarians he was like, ten guys and two women, I think, I don't know many of them white, they weren'trepresentative socio economically, racially diverse, anything. They didn't have the right expertise onthere. I would have liked to see some like frontline nurses on there to say ‘listen, this stuff is silly' orsome frontline, whoever just some frontline folks to be say ‘listen, none of the stuff that you're sayingmakes any sense whatsoever'. And luckily, there was some reason, voices on there, but they were theminority. But luckily, they prevailed, or we would have had outdoor masking and even tougherlockdowns. I don't know how folks really; it was really close. I think we fortunately had thatrepresentation, but that should have never even happened, we should have had public health Ontario,being its agency and making recommendations to the ministry and to the government. There shouldhave never been a science table. Then second thing, I just want to say I've we've talked about thisforever and I do think we should talk about this more, not in the context of like this, this podcast, but isalso just absolutely the role of the media. I do want to say that, like historically, media had to do a lot ofwork, they had to go to universities or hospitals and ask for the right expert, and then the media orcomms team, ‘you should really talk to Zain Chagla' Because he has good example, you know, it givesgood expertise on this or you start to like, I don't know, like Dr. so and so for this or that, and they puttogether the right person, they organize the time and then they talk. Now you know that it was reallylike the story I think was more organically developed on based on what the experts had to say. Nowyou've got reporters, for people who are not from Ontario, there's a sports reporter in the city ofToronto that I looked historically, I can't see that they've ever done anything in public health suddenlybecame like the COVID reporter in the city of Toronto, for a major newspaper. It's like this person hasnot a clue of what they're talking about, just like has no clue they've never trained in. I don't disparagetheir sports reporter like why should they? but they became the voice of like public health for like theaverage person. It just it set us up where that person just had a story and then just found whateverpeople on Twitter that they could to like back up their story irrespective to drive controversy, to driveanger towards the government based on sort of political leanings. Even if maybe my political leaningsare aligned with that person, it's a relevant because it's not about politics, it's about public health. So Ithink the media, we have to think about, like, how do we manage the media's need for clicks and profit,you know, during this time, in with, like, their role as like, the responsible are an important part of like,you know, social functioning, in terms of the free press. So, I, there's no easy answers to that. But I'll justsay, I think there was a fundamentally important role that the media played here. And I have to say, itdidn't play out positively, in most places.KK: I gotta say, like, this is gonna be naive talk. But we're in a pandemic, there had to be so many of ushad a sense of duty, like, I was surprised at the lack of sense of duty, to be honest with you. Even if youare about your cliques, ask yourself, is this is this about the greater good here? Is this really gonna get usfurther ahead? I've said this a few times on my platform, I would have a balance of a mess. The balancedmessage on was usually one specific network that would bail on the interview. They would literally bailon the interview because my message might not be as fearful. What the actual f you know what I mean?Like it's crazy.(?) I will say there were some good reporters. I don't want to say that that you know, there were someincredible folks. I was talking to someone the other day, I won't mention who but I think the mark of thegood reporter was, you know, they have a story, they want to talk about it. They contacted us. And theysaid, what time can we talk this week, right? They didn't say I need to get this filed in three hours. If yousay you need to get this filed in three hours, the expert you're gonna go to is the one that's available inthe next three hours, right? They wanted to hear an opinion, they wanted to get multiple opinions onthe table, but they would carve out the time so that everyone could give their story or, what theiropinion was or what evidence they presented. They made sure it rotated around the experts rather thanthe story rotating around being filed. I think it's important and, you know, you can get a sense of certainthings that are on the need to be filed this day, or even on the 24/7 news cycle, where they may not beas well researched, they're they're a single opinion. They're quoting a Twitter tweet. Now, I think insome of these media platforms, you can just embed that Twitter tweet, you don't even have to, youknow, quote it in that sense, you just basically take a screenshot of it basically. Versus again, thosearticles where I think there was there more thought, and I think there were some great reporters inCanada, that really did go above and beyond. Health reporters, particularly that really did try to presenta picture that was well researched, and evidence based, you know, with what's available, but therecertainly are these issues and it's not a COVID specific issue, but with media ad reporting, in that sense.Yeah, it's and it's important to say like, it's not actually just the reporter, it's the editors, its editorialteams, like I had said, OTR discussions with reporters very early on, I've tried to stay away from themedia, because I think the folks who have done it, I've done it well. But it was interesting, because BobSargent, who sadly passed away, an internal medicine physician, and an amazing mentor to manyclinicians in Toronto. Put me in touch with a couple of reporters. He's like, you know, you're a publichealth person, you should really talk to these reports. We had this; can we talk to you privately? It wasso weird. This was summer of 2020. So, we had a very private discussion where I said ‘Listen, I haveconcerns about lockdowns for like, these reasons' I think it's reasoned, because it's not it, I've got noconspiracy to drive, like, I've got no, there's no angle in any of it. So, but it was just fascinating. So, theywere like we might be able to come back to you, and maybe we'll try to do a story around it. Then theycame back and said, we're not going to be able to pursue it. I said that's fine. It's no problem. It just sortof showed that I think, similar as academics, and clinicians, and all of us have been under pressure basedon everything from like CPSO complaints, the complaints to our employers, to whatever to just saw, youknow, the standard attacks on Twitter. I think there was also a lot of pressure on reporters based on thiswhole structure, and of it. So I think, I don't mean to disparage anybody, but I do think the point thatyou made is really important one is. I'll just say, in our own house, you know, my wife and I both werelike talking at the beginning of this and being like, what do we want to know that we did during thistime? So, my wife worked in person, as a clinician alter her practice all throughout her pregnancy? Shenever didn't go, you know, she did call she did all of that, obviously, I have done the work I've done interms of both clinically and vaccine related testing. But this just idea of like, what do you want toremember about the time that you would like what you did when s**t hit the fan? And, you know,because first, it'll happen again, but just also, I think it's important to sort of, to be able to reflect andthink positively about what you did. Anyways,KK: I hear you both, part of it, too, for me, I'll just straight up honesty. In some ways, I'm just pissed, I'mpissed that a lot of the efforts that were that a lot of people put into to try and get a good message outthere. The backlash. Now people reflecting saying, ‘Oh, I guess you did, you know, many of you do tohad a good point about lockdowns not working out'. I know it may be childish in some way, but it's just,you know, a lot of us have gone through a lot to just try and create a balanced approach. I think therewas a little bit of edge in this voice, but I think it comes with a bit of a bit of reason to have a bit of edge.I think in terms of the next couple questions here are areas to focus on. A lot of people in terms of like,decisions regarding mandates, boosters, and so forth, like we talk a lot about it on public health, it's thedata that helps drive decisions, right. That's really what you would think it should be all about. So, one ofthe many questions that were thrown to us, when we announced that this was happening was, the needfor like, almost like universal boosters, and Sumon, I'll put you on the spot there, at this stage in thepandemic, where I'm gonna timestamp this for people on audio, we're on January 10th, 2023. There aresome questions that we get, who really needs to push through to we all need boosters? What's yourthoughts on that?SC: So, I think that one of the things that I said this, as Zain makes fun of me throughout the pandemic, Icame up with catchphrases, and my one for immunity is the way that we've conceptualized immunity inNorth America. I think a lot of this has to do with an actual graphic from the CDC, which likens immunityto an iPhone or a battery, iPhone battery. So, iPhone immunity, where you have to constantly berecharging and updating. I think that has kind of bled into the messaging. That's what we think of it. Iremember back in I think it was October of 2021, where they were also starting to talk about the thirddose. The third dose, I think that at that time, we knew that for the higher risk people, it was probablythe people who would benefit the most from it. We had Ontario data from it was I think, was ISIS.There's vaccine efficacy against hospitalization, over 96% in Ontario in health care workers 99%, if you'reless than seventy-seven years of age, yet this went out, and everybody felt like they had to get thebooster. So, I think that the first thing that bothered me about that is that there wasn't a kind ofstratified look at the risk level and who needs it? So now we're in 2023. I think that one of the big thingsapart from what I said, you know, who's at higher risk, there's still this problem where people think thatevery six months, I need to recharge my immunity, which certainly isn't true. There wasn't a recognitionthat being exposed to COVID itself is providing you a very robust immunity against severe disease, whichis kind of it's coming out now. We've been we've all been talking about it for a long time. And you know,the other thing is that the disease itself has changed. I think that I heard this awesome expression, thefirst pass effect. So, when the COVID first came through a completely immune naive population, ofcourse, we saw death and morbidity, we saw all the other bad stuff, the rare stuff that COVIDencephalitis COVID GB GBS tons of ECMO, like 40-year old's dying. With each subsequent wave asimmunity started to accrue in the population, that didn't happen. Now we're at a different variant. Andthe thing is, do we even need to be doing widespread vaccination when you're with current variant, andyou can't be thinking about what we saw in 2021. So, putting that now, all together, we have as Zanementioned, seroprevalence, about almost 100%, you have people that are well protected against severedisease, most of the population, you have a variant that absolutely can make people sick. And yes, it cankill people. But for those of us who work on the front line, that looks very different on the on the frontlines. So, I really think that we should take a step back and say, number one: I don't think that thebooster is needed for everybody. I think number two: there are under a certain age, probably 55 andhealthy, who probably don't need any further vaccination, or at least until we have more data. Numberthree: before we make a widespread recommendation for the population. We have time now we're notin the emergency phase anymore. I really hope that we get more RCT data over the long term to seewho is it that needs the vaccine, if at all. And you know, who benefits from it. And let's continue toaccrue this data with time.KK: Thanks Sumon. Zain, are you on the along the same lines assume on in terms of who needs boostersand who doesn't?ZC: Yeah, I mean, I think number one: is the recognition that prior infection and hybrid immunityprobably are incredibly adequate. Again, people like Paul Offit, and we're not just talking about youknow, experts like us. These are people that are sitting on the FDA Advisory Committee, a man thatactually made vaccines in the United States, you know, that talks about the limitations of boosters andprobably three doses being you know, The peak of the series for most people, and even then, you know,two plus infection probably is enough is three or even one plus infection, the data may suggest maybe isas high as three. Yeah, I think, again, this is one of these things that gets diluted as it starts going downthe chain, if you actually look at the Nazi guidance for, you know, bi-Vaillant vaccines, it's actuallyincorporates a ‘should' and a ‘can consider' in all of this, so they talked about vulnerable individuals,elderly individuals should get a booster where there may be some benefits in that population, the restof the population can consider a booster in that sense, right. And I think as the boosters came out, andagain, you know, people started jumping on them, it came to everyone needs their booster. Andunfortunately, the messaging in the United States is perpetuated that quite a bit with this iPhonecharging thing, Biden tweeting that everyone over the age of six months needs a booster. Again, wereally do have to reflect on the population that we're going at. Ultimately, again, if you start pressing theissue too much in the wrong populations, you know, the uptake is, is showing itself, right, the peoplewho wanted their bi-Vaillant vaccine got it. Thankfully the right populations are being incentivized,especially in the elderly, and the very elderly, and the high risk. Uptake in most other populations hasbeen relatively low. So, people are making their decisions based on based on what they know. Again,they feel that that hesitation and what is this going to benefit me? and I think as Sumon said, theconfidence is going to be restored when we have better data. We're in a phase now where we can docluster randomized RCTs in low-risk populations and show it If you want the vaccine, you enter into acluster randomized RCT, if you're in a low-risk population, match you one to one with placebo. You wecan tell you if you got, you know, what your prognosis was at the end of the day, and that information isgoing to be important for us. I don't think that policy of boosting twice a year, or once a year is gonnaget people on the bus, every booster seems like people are getting off the bus more and more. So, wereally do have to have compelling information. Now, as we're bringing these out to start saying, youknow, is this a necessity? especially in low-risk populations? How much of a necessity is that? How muchdo you quantify it in that sense? And again, recognizing that, that people are being infected? Now, thatadds another twist in that sense.KK: Yeah, and we'll talk a little bit about public trust in a bit here. But Stef, you were among someauthors that did an essay on the booster mandates for university students. As we've both alluded toZain, and Sumon there's this need to be stratified. From an RCT booster point of view that we're not wellestablished here. When Stef's group looked at university mandates and potential harm, when we'redoing an actual cost benefit ratio there, their conclusion was that there's more room for harm thanbenefits. So, Stef I want you to speak to that paper a bit.SB: Sure. So, I will say this, I don't actually have much to add other than what Zain and Sumon said. Runa vaccine program we are offering, you know, doses as it makes sense for folks who are particularlyimmunocompromised, multiple comorbidities and remain at risk for serious consequences related toCOVID-19. We'll continue doing that. And that will, you know, get integrated, by the way into like, sortof a vaccine preventable disease program, so offering, shingles, Pneumovax, influenza COVID. And alsowe want to do a broader in terms of other hepatitis vaccines, etc. That aside, so this, this isn't about, youknow, that it was really interesting being called antivax by folks who have never gotten close to avaccine, other than being pricked by one. Having delivered literally 1000s of doses of vaccine, so it'salmost it's a joke, right? but it's an effective thing of like shutting down conversation. That aside, I thinkthere's a few things at play one as it related to that paper. I find it really interesting, particularly foryoung people, when people are like, listen, yes, they had a little bit of like, inflammation of their heart,but it's self-resolving and self-limiting, and they're gonna be fine. You don't know that. Maybe sure we'llsee what happens with these folks twenty years later. The reality is for younger men, particularly, thishappens to be a very gender dynamic. For younger men, particularly, there seems to be a dynamicwhere they are at risk of myocarditis. I don't know whether that's a controversy in any other era for anyother disease, this would not be a controversy would just be more of a factual statement, the data wereclearer in I'd say, probably April, May 2021. I think there's lots of things we could have done, we couldhave done one dose series for people who had been previously infected, we could have stopped at two.There are a million different versions of what we could have done, none of which we actually did. In thecontext of mandating boosters now for young people, including at my institution, you were mandated toget a booster, or you would no longer be working. So obviously, I got one. There's a real dynamic ofwhat is it your goal at that point? because probably about 1011 months into the vaccine programbecame increasingly clear. You can still get COVID. Nobody's surprised by that. That was clear even fromthe data. By the way, wasn't even studied. I mean, Pfizer, the way if you just look at the Pfizer, Moderna,trials, none and look to see whether you got COVID or not, they were just looking at symptomaticdisease. That aside, I think that it just became this clear thing where for younger men, one or two doseswas plenty and it seems to be that as you accumulate doses for those folks, particularly, it's alsoimportant, if somebody had a bad myocarditis, they're not even getting a third dose. So, you're alreadyselecting out, you know, some of these folks, but you are starting to see increased levels of harm, as itrelated to hospitalization. That what we basically did, there was a very simple analysis of looking ataverted hospitalization, either way, many people say that's the wrong metric. You can pick whatevermetric you want. That's the metric we picked when terms of hospitalization related to side effects of thevaccine versus benefits. What it just showed was that for people under the age of 30, you just don't seea benefit at that point, as compared to harm that's totally in fundamentally different. We weren't talkingabout the primary series, and we weren't talking about older folks. So indeed, I think, you know, thatwas that was I don't know why it was it was particularly controversial. We it was a follow up piece tomandates in general. I'll just say like, I've been running this vaccine program, I don't think mandateshave made my life easier at all. I know, there's like this common narrative of like mandates, you know,mandates work mandates work. I think at some point, and I'll just say our own study of this is like we'rereally going to have to ask two questions. One: what it mandates really get us in terms of a burdenCOVID-19, morbidity, mortality? and two: this is an important one for me. What if we caught ourselvesin terms of how much pressure we put on people, as it relates to vaccines right now, in general? Thevery common narrative that I'm getting is they're like, oh, the anti Vax is the anti Vax folks are winning.And people don't want their standard vaccines, and we're getting less uptake of like, MMR andstandard, you know, kind of childhood vaccines, I have a different opinion. I really do at least I believesome proportion of this, I don't know what proportion, it's some proportion, it's just like people beingpushed so hard, about COVID-19 vaccines that they literally don't want to be approached about anyvaccine in general. So, I just think that with in public health, there's always a cost. Part of the decisionmaking in public health as it relates to clinical medicine too. It's like you give a medication, theadvantage and then you know, the disadvantages, side effects of that medication. In public health, thereare side effects of our decisions that are sometimes anticipated and sometimes avoidable, sometimescan't be anticipated and sometimes can't be avoided. You have to kind of really give thought to each ofthem before you enact this policy or you might cost more health outcomes, then then you're actuallygaining by implementing it.KK: Yeah, number one: What was spooky to me is like even mentioning, I was afraid even to use a termmyocarditis at times. The worst part is, as you said, stuff, it's young folk that were alluding to, and for usto not be able to say, let's look at the harm and benefit in a group that's low risk was baffling. It reallywas baffling that and I'm glad we're at least more open to that now. Certainly, that's why I thought thatthe paper that you guys put together was so important because it's in the medical literature that we'reshowing, objectively what the cost benefit of some of these approaches are. Sumon: when you think ofmandates and public trust, that Stef was kind of alluding to like, every decision that we madethroughout this thing. Also has a downside, also has a cost, as Stef was mentioning. Where do you thinkwe are? In terms of the public trust? Talking about how the childhood vaccines are lower. I don't knowwhat influenza vaccine rates are like now, I wouldn't be surprised if they're the same standard, but whoknows them where they're at, currently. Based on your perspective, what do you think the public trust isright now?SC: Yeah, as physicians, we obviously still do have a lot of trust in the people we take care of. People arestill coming to see us. I wish they didn't have to because everyone was healthy but that's not the case. Ido think that over the last two and a half, we're coming up on three years, I guess right now, that peoplethat we have burned a lot of trust, I think that mandates were part of it. I do think that some of it wasunavoidable. It's just that there's a lot of uncertainty. There was back and forth. I think that one thingthat were that concern me on social media was that a lot of professionals are airing their dirty laundry tothe public. You could see these in fights, that doesn't, that's not really a good thing. We saw peoplebeing very derisive towards people who were not listening to the public health rules. You know what Imean? There's a lot of that kind of talk of othering. Yeah, I think that that certainly overtime, erodedpublic trust, that will take a long time to get back, if we do get it back. I think that the bottom line is that,I get that there are times that we have to do certain things, when you have a unknown pathogen comingat you, when you don't really know much about it. I do think that you want to do the greatest good forthe, for the population or again, you always must remember as Stefan alludes to the cost of what you'redoing. I do think that we could have done that much early on. For example, Ontario, we were lockeddown in some areas, Ontario, GTA, we were locked down in some regard for almost a year and a half. Ifyou guys remember, there was that debate on opening bars and restaurants before schools. It's just like,I remember shaking my head is, look, I get it, I know you guys are talking about people are going to beeating a burger before kids can go to school, that might ruin everything. But the problem is, is that youmust remember that restaurant is owned by someone that small gym is someone's livelihood, you'remoralizing over what this is, but in the end, it's the way somebody puts food on the table. For a yearand a half, we didn't let especially small businesses do that. I'm no economist, but I had many familymembers and friends who are impacted by this. Two of my friends unfortunately, committed suicideover this. So, you know, we had a lot of impact outside of the of the things that we did that hurt people,and certainly the trust will have to be regained over the long term.KK: It's gonna take work. I think, for me, honestly, it's, it's just about being transparent. I honestly, I putmyself in some in the shoes of the public and I just want to hear the truth. If we're not sure aboutsomething, that's okay. We're gonna weigh the evidence and this is our suggestion. This is why we'resaying this, could we be wrong? Yes, we could be wrong but this is what we think is the best pathforward, and people could get behind that. I honestly feel like people could get behind that showing alittle bit of vulnerability and saying ‘you know, we're not know it alls here' but this is what our beststrategy is based on our viewpoint on the best strategy based on the data that we have in front of usand just be open. Allowing for open dialogue and not squash it not have that dichotomous thinking ofyou're on one side, you're on the other. You're anti vax, you're pro vax, stop with the labels. You know,it's just it got crazy, and just was not a safe environment for dialogue. And how are you supposed to he'ssupposed to advance.SB: Yeah, I do want to say something given this this is this idea of our swan song. I think there was thissort of feeling like, you know, people were like ‘you gotta act hard, you gotta move fast' So I thinkeverybody on this, you guys all know I travel a lot. I like to think of myself as a traveler. In the early2020's I did like a COVID tour, I was in Japan in February, then I was in Thailand, and everywhere Ilanded, there were like, COVID here, COVID here, COVID here. Then finally, I like got home at the end ofFebruary, and I was supposed to be home for like four days, and then take off. Obviously things got shutdown. It was like obvious like COVID was the whole world had COVID by, February, there may have beena time to shut down this pandemic in September 2019. Do you know what I mean? by November 2019,we had cases. They've already seen some and Canadian Blood Services done some showing someserological evidence already at that time. There was no shutting it down. This thing's gonna suck. Thereality is promising that you can eliminate this thing by like, enacting these really like arbitrary that canonly be described as arbitrary. Shutting the border to voluntary travel, but not to truckers. Everythingfelt so arbitrary. So, when you talk about trust, if you can't explain it, if you're a good person do it. If youdon't do it, your white supremacist. Kwadwo you were part of a group that was called ‘Urgency ofNormal' you are a white supremacist. It's so ridiculous. You know what I mean? It creates this dynamicwhere you can't have any meaningful conversation. So, I really worry, unless we can start having somereally meaningful conversations, not just with folks that we agree with. Obviously, I deeply respect whateach of you have done throughout this pandemic, not just actually about what you say, but really whatyou've done. Put yourselves out there with your families in front of this thing. That aside, if we can't dothat, we will be no better off. We will go right back. People will be like ‘Oh, next pandemic, well, let'sjust get ready to lock down' but did we accomplish anything in our lock downs? I actually don't think wedid. I really don't think we got anything positive out our lock downs, and I might be alone in that. I mightbe wrong, butut that said it needs to be investigated and in a really meaningful way to answer that,before it becomes assume that acting hard and acting fast and all these b******t slogans are the truthand they'd become the truth and they become fact. All without any really meaningful evidencesupporting them.KK: I gotta say, I'll get you Sumon next here, but I gotta say the idea of abandoning logic, I think that'sthat's a key point there. Think about what we're doing in restaurants, folks. Okay, you would literallywear your mask to sit down, take off that bloody thing. Eat, chat, smooch even, I mean, and then put itback on and go in the bathroom and think this is meaningful. Where's the logic there? You're on a plane,you're gonna drink something, you're on a six hour flight, you know what I'm saying.(?) During the lockdown, by the way, you're sending like 20 Uber drivers to stand point. If you ever wentand picked up food, you would see these folks. It'd be like crowding the busy restaurants all like standingin there, like arguing which orders theirs, you know what I mean? then like people waiting for the foodto show up.KK: I mean, that's the other point. The part that people forget with the lockdowns, tons of people willwork. I'm in Ottawa, where 70% are, could stay home, right? That's a unique city. That's why we werevery sheltered from this bad boy.(?) Aren't they still fighting going back to the office?KK: Oh, my God. Folks, I'm sorry. Yeah, it's like 70% could stay home, but you're in GTA your area. That'sa lot of essential workers. You don't have that option. So, how's this lockdown? Really looking at the bigpicture? Anyway, sorry. Sumon you're gonna hit it up.SC: We just wanted to add one anecdote. I just think it kind of talks about all this is that, you know therewas a time when this thing started going to 2020. Stefan, I think you and I met online around that time.You put a couple of seeds after I was reading stuff, like you know about the idea of, you know, risktransfer risk being downloaded to other people. That's sort of kind of think of a you know, what, like,you know, a people that are working in the manufacturing industry, you're not going to receive them alot unless you live in a place like Brampton or northwest Toronto, where the manufacturing hub of, ofOntario and in many cases, central eastern Canada is right. So, I remember in, I was already starting touse this doing anything. And when I was in, I guess it would have been the second wave when it was itwas pretty bad one, I just kept seeing factory worker after factory worker, but then the thing that stuckout was tons of Amazon workers. So, I asked one of them, tell me something like, why are there so manyAmazon workers? Like are you guys? Is there a lot of sick people working that kind of thing? Inretrospect, it was very naive question. What that one woman told me that her face is burned into mymemory, she told me she goes, ‘Look, you know, every time a lockdown is called, or something happenslike that, what ends up happening is that the orders triple. So, then we end up working double and tripleshifts, and we all get COVID' That was just a light went off. I was like, excuse my language, guys, but holys**t, we're basically taking all this risk for people that can like what was it called a ‘laptop class' that canstay home and order all this stuff. Meanwhile, all that risk was going down to all these people, and I wasseeing it one, after another, after another, after another. I'm not sure if you guys saw that much, but Iwas in Mississauga, that's the hardest, Peele where the manufacturing industry is every single peanutfactory, the sheet metal, I just saw all of them. That I think was the kind of thing that turned me andrealize that we what we'll be doing. I'll shut up.ZC: Yeah, I would say I mean, I think Stefan and Sumon make great points. You know, I think that thatwas very apparent at the beginning. The other thing I would say is 2021 to 2022. Things like vaccinationand public health measures fell along political lines. That was a huge mistake. It was devastating. Iremember back to the first snap election in 2021. Initially great video of all the political partiesencouraging vaccination and putting their differences aside. Then all of a sudden, it became mudslingingabout how much public health measure you're willing to do, how much you're willing to invest in, andit's not a Canadian phenomenon. We saw this in the United States with the Biden and Trump campaignsand the contrast between the two, and then really aligning public health views to political views, andthen, you know, really making it very uncomfortable for certain people to then express counter viewswithout being considered an alternative party. It's something we need to reflect on I think we havepublic health and public health messengers and people that are agnostic to political views but are reallythere to support the health of their populations, from a health from a societal from an emotional fromthe aspects of good health in that sense. You really can't involve politics into that, because all of asudden, then you start getting counter current messaging, and you start getting people being pushed,and you start new aligning values to views and you start saying, right and left based on what peopleconsider, where again, the science doesn't necessarily follow political direction. It was a really bigmistake, and it still is pervasive. We saw every election that happened between 2021 to 2022 is publichealth and public health messaging was embedded in each one of those and it caused more harm thangood. I think it's a big lesson from this, this is that you can be proactive for effective public healthinterventions as an individual in that society that has a role, but you can't stick it on campaigns. It reallymakes it hard to deescalate measures at that point when your campaign and your identity is tied tocertain public health measures in that sense.KK: Amen. I am cognizant of the time and so I'm gonna try to rapid fire a little bit? I think, there's only acouple points that people hit up on that we haven't touched on. There was a push for mass mandates inthe last couple months because of of RSV and influenza that was happening. It still is happening in,especially in our extreme ages, really young and really old. Any viewpoint on that, I'll leave it open toalmost to throw down.(?) I think mass mandates have been useless. I don't expect to ever folks to agree with me, it's like it's aninteresting dynamic, right? When you go and you saw folks who were on the buses, I take the bus to theairport. Our subway in Toronto just for folks only starts at like, 5:50am. So, before that, you gotta jumpon buses. So the construction workers on the bus who were wearing masks during the when the maskmandates were on taking this what's called, it's like the construction line, because it goes down Bloorare basically and takes all the construction workers from Scarborough, before the subway line, get todowntown to do all the construction and build all the stuff that you know, is being built right now.Everyone is wearing this useless cloth mask. It's like probably the one thing that the anti-maskers who Ithink I probably am one at this point. The pro-maskers and all maskers can agree on is that cloth masksare useless. That's what 100% of these folks are wearing. They're wearing these reusable cloth masksthat are like barely on their face often blow their nose. So, to me, it's not so much about like, what couldthis intervention achieve, if done perfectly like saying the study you were involved with the help lead,it's like everybody's like, but all of them got COVID outside of the health care system, they didn't get itwhen they're wearing their N95. That's like, but that's the point, like public health interventions live ordie or succeed or fail in the real world. I was seeing the real world, I would love to take a photo but Idon't think these folks have been friendly to me taking a photo of them, but it was 100%, cloth masks ofall these folks in the morning all crowded, like we're literally like person to person on this bus. It's like aperfect, you know, vehicle for massive transmission. I just I just sort of put that forward of like, that'swhat a mask mandate does to me. I think to the person sitting at home calling for them, they are justimagining, they're like ‘Oh but the government should do this'. But they didn't. The government shouldbe handing out in N95's. How are you going to police them wearing a N95's and how are you gettingthem? It would be so hard to make a massive program work. I would say it's like if you gave me millionsand millions and millions of dollars, for me to design a mass program, I don't know, maybe I could pull itoff you really with an endless budget. But for what? So, I just think that like as these programs went outin the real world, I think they did nothing but burn people's energy. You know because some people itjust turns out don't like wearing a mask. Shocking to other folks. They just don't like wearing a mask.Last thing I'll say is that just as they play it out in the real world, I think we're functionally useless, otherthan burning people's energy. I'm a fervent anti masker at this point because it's just an insult to publichealth. To me everything I've trained in and everything I've worked towards, just saying these two wordsmask mandate, as the fix. That is an insult to the very thing that I want to spend my life doing .ZC: Yeah, I mean, three points, one: you know, masks are still important in clinical settings. I think we allunderstand that. We've been doing them before we've been continuing to do them. So I you know,that's one piece. Second: I mean, to go with the point that was raised here, you know, the best study wehave is Bangladesh, right? 10% relative risk reduction. It's interesting when you read the Bangladeshstudy, because with community kind of people that pump up masking that are really trying to educateand probably are also there to mask compliance. Mask's compliance people, you get to 54% compliance,when those people leave compliance drops significantly. Right. You know, I think you have to just lookaround and see what happened in this last few months, regardless of the messaging. Maybe it's thecommunities I'm in, but I didn't see mass compliance change significantly, maybe about 5%. In thecontext of the last couple of months. You must understand the value of this public health intervention,Bangladesh has actually a nice insight, not only into what we think the community based optimalmasking efficacy is, but also the fact that you really have to continue to enforce, enforce, enforce,enforce, in order to get to that even 10%. Without that enforcement, you're not getting anywhere inthat sense. That probably spells that it's probably a very poor long term public health intervention in thecontext that you really must pump it week by week by week by week in order to actually get compliancethat may actually then give you the effects that you see in a cluster randomized control trial. Again, youknow, the world we live in is showing that people don't want to mask normally. Some people can, i

Runa Borch Skolseg er dramatiker og forfatter, aktuell med THE DISORDER OF DESIRE som presenteres som en arbeidsvisning på festivalen, utviklet i samarbeid med Fredrik Floen. I flere av arbeidene sine har Runa uttalt at hun aktivt stjeler og låner materiale fra andre tekster, teori, motehus, filmer og forestillinger som hun lar lekke inn i sin egen skriving. Hun har gjerne en maksimalistisk tilnærming, der ulike formspråk får bryte mot hverandre i en og samme tekst. Materialet strekker seg mot utflytende overflod og maksimalisme fremfor stringens, samtidig som det har en klar formmessig signatur. I dette foredraget deler Skolseg metoder, strategier og inspirasjoner fra skrivepraksisen. Samarbeid med Dramatikkens hus og Tekstallianse.

Have you ever felt the prickling sense of a pair of eyes gazing at you from a place unseen? Are you able to instantly locate the sound of a cellphone ringing anywhere in your room? Do you sometimes see faces in the patterns of woodgrain or on a popcorn ceiling? And, most importantly, has a pink haired girl every broken your arm or hurled you from a building? If so, you may be entitled to damages.  This month, to close out 2022 and our coverage of Chaos;Head Noah, Sara, Runa, and returning guest Meowgon dig deep to excavate the remainder of the main story, play through the alternate endings, and experience the true horror of the Noah experience: The Girls' routes. After following Taku's growing paranoia and increasing entanglement in the NewGen murder cases and the vast conspiracy surrounding di-swords and their wielders, we arrive with him at the top of a skyscraper overlooking the scramble crossing as he finally lays eyes on his own sword. A mild earthquake has somehow caused a record number of casualties, Nanami has been kidnapped, and Rimi has vanished as Taku stands above a crowd of thousands, looks out across the crossing, and reaches for the outline of a di-sword. Unfortunately for him, it will be almost four more chapters until he claims it. Chaos;Head Noah is a remake and update of the original Chaos;Head, originally released in 2008 and only now available in 2022 with an official English version. In this half of our coverage, we'll cover the last five chapters of the core game of Chaos;Head Noah, the additional Crying Sky ending, all of the Girls' Routes and their associated endings, and then the "Blue Sky" ending added to the Noah version, unlocked once you complete every other available ending in the game. After the earthquake that closed out Chapter 5, reports pour in of massive casualties with over 300 injured and over 100 dead, all from a simple 5.6 earthquake which centralized most of its damage exclusively within Shibuya. Taku, however, has far more dire things to worry about as Shogun has sent him a "present" - Nanami's severed right hand, still clutching her cell phone, and wrapped up carefully in a cardboard box. From there, things only get worse for Taku: A mysterious caller tries to force him to manifest his di-sword, his classmates sneer at him after he's humiliated on a live nationwide broadcast, more NewGen murders occur, Sena tries to kill him for inadvertently creating the formula that allows a mind control device to function, and worst of all he tries to go back home. In the end, no matter what path you take through the story, Shibuya lies in ruins. As a note to listeners who want to read along with us, Chaos;Head Noah is a horror game with a long list of graphic, disturbing, and potentially anxiety-inducing topics. While we mention a few of them in our episode, because of the wide variety of delusions present in the game and the breadth of content included, it's impossible for us to list all of the things that come up in even just these first 5 chapters.

Lai arī šobrīd aiz loga ir ziema un drīzāk sūdzamies par aukstumu birojā energotaupības dēļ, klimata pārmaiņas darba vidē sāk radīt problēmas tieši karstākajos gada mēnešos. Jau šogad fiksēti vairāki nāves gadījumi no pārkaršanas darba vietās karstuma viļņu laikā un, šķiet, ka šī vairs nav problēma tikai dienvidos, bet skar arī Eiropas vēsos reģionus. Nāve no pārkaršanas un jauni infekciju slimību uzliesmojumi ir lielākie izaicinājumi darba vidē Eiropā tuvākajā nākotnē. Klimata pārmaiņas ietekmē arī to, kā strādājam, īpaši smagi tas skar fiziskā un sociālā darba darītājus. Ko par to saka pētījumi, raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā analizē Rīgas Stradiņa universitātes Darba drošības un vides veselības institūta direktors Ivars Vanadziņš. Darba vide fabrikās 19. - 20. gadsimta mijā Man rītu agri jāceļas, Man saules nav tais istabās, Tur putekļi, tur lampas kūp, Tur lēni mana dzīve drūp, Tur nekas nav pārspīlēts un tā arī bija realitāte – par šim Raiņa rindām no dzejoļa ‘”Fabrikas meitenes  dziesma”  saka vēsturniece Līga Lapa. 19. gadsimta otrajā pusē sākusies industrializācija pārvērta Rīgu par vienu no lielākajiem rūpniecības centriem Baltijā – divas trešdaļas no Rīgas iedzīvotājiem bija rūpnīcu strādnieki, kas ienāca no laukiem labākas dzīves meklējumos. Ja 19. un 20. gs. mijā jau citviet pasaulē  darba devēju  un darba ņēmēju attiecības regulēja arodbiedrības, tad cariskajā Krievijā, kuras sastāvā arī tolaik atradās Latvijas teritorija, tā tas nenotika. Te iedzīvotāju iejaukšanās  valsts pārvaldes darbā tika uzskatīta  par  mēģinājumu šo pārvaldi graut un līdz ar to strādnieku centieni sakārtot un uzlabot darba vidi bija nesekmīgi, skaidro Līga Lapa, kura ir padziļināti pētījusi 1905. gada revolūciju, kad strādnieki izgāja ielās, lai protestētu  gan pret pastāvošo varu, gan pieprasītu uzlabot darba apstākļus. Vēl ieskatīsimies vienā konkrētā fabrikā un tur valdošajos darba apstākļos. Runa ir par 19. gs. 80. gados  Ilģuciemā dibināto Jākoba Beka stikla fabriku. Par to stāsta vēstures zinātņu doktore Rīgas vēstures un kuģniecības muzeja Rīgas vēstures izpētes un ekspozīcijas darba nodaļas vadītāja Margarita Barzdeviča.  

Have you ever felt the prickling sense of a pair of eyes gazing at you from a place unseen? Have you ever had daydreams so vivid and visceral you could remember the touch and smell of them afterwards? While sleeping, do you sometimes dream in full color? Do you believe in the existence of God? Do you live in a small shipping container repurposed into a cluttered room filled with fast food trash and pristine anime waifu figurines?This week, Sara and Runa welcome special guest Meowgon to help them navigate the first five chapters of Chaos;Head Noah. In this horror visual novel, we inhabit the perspective of a truly repulsive and pathetic teenage otaku boy who fills his daily life with MMO  powergaming,  2chan trawling, and fantasizing about his favorite 2D girls. Takumi does go to school, however, according to a strict schedule he's set out for himself to ensure that he achieves the exact minimum number of attendance days in order to graduate. He also goes out into public, to netcafes or manga shops or a game store to pre-order new Seira-tan figures. If only he had simply never gone outside, maybe he wouldn't now be pursued by the police or know quite so much about the recent series of brutal, horrifying murders taking place throughout Shibuya.Chaos;Head Noah is a remake and update of the original Chaos;Head, originally released in 2008 and only now available in 2022 with an official English version. The game is part of Nitro Plus's Science Adventure series, which also includes Chaos;Child and Steins;Gate, though Chaos;Head stands on its own as an individual and unrelated work to the other two in continuity. The game follows the events of a series of bizarre and shocking murders taking place in Shibuya, dubbed the New Generation Madness by popular media and quickly taking hold as a prime topic of discussion on message boards such as 2chan (called @chan in the game). Takumi, a shut-in with tremendous social anxiety and a rancid view of the world (and women in particular), finds himself caught up in the mystery of the NewGen murders as he witnesses the third victim's body just after they've been killed... and, as it happens, he also received images of that murder from a mysterious chatroom lurker a full day before the killing took place. From there, Takumi's mental state, physical health, and grasp on reality begin to decline. The situation isn't helped when he realizes that the person who sent those images of the murder, images that couldn't have possibly existed a full 24 hours before the murder took place, sent them from the exact terminal Takumi uses at the netcafe and at the exact time he was there the day before the murder took place. Things go downhill for Taku from there.As a note to listeners who want to read along with us, Chaos;Head Noah is a horror game with a long list of graphic, disturbing, and potentially anxiety-inducing topics. While we mention a few of them in our episode, because of the wide variety of delusions present in the game and the breadth of content included, it's impossible for us to list all of the things that come up in even just these first 5 chapters.

Tingrettsdommer og forfatter Aina M. Ertzeid snakker med Runa om endringene i straffeprosessloven, og hva de betyr for dommerne og deres straffesaksbehandling. For noen måneder siden publiserte vi tre episoder fra Politihøgskolen om samme tema. Denne episoden er et supplement til dem, og har et tydeligere dommerperspektiv.

The mansion in the mist returns this week and we find ourselves once more following The Maid through the memories of The House in Fata Morgana. Will we find the truth buried in these halls, we will learn Her name and call out to Her, we will escape the darkness of time and memory...But first, we will forget.This week, Sara and Runa return to finish their stay at The House in Fata Morgana (2012/2016), in which they cover not one but five additional doors and learn of the intertwining threads that bind the fate of all who roam its halls. Finally, after all of these hours of searching, we'll properly meet the game's three main characters for the very first time: Giselle, Michel, and Morgana are all assembled here now to guide you, beguile you, and accompany you through the halls of the mansion that slips through time. At the very end of everything, once Michel has reclaimed his memories and Giselle remembers her name, what will become of the Witch that torments the souls trapped in this house?  What fate awaits those, bound by the fervent wish of Eternal Reconstruction and inevitable tragedy? Let's find out together, and as we pass through each door we must entreat you sincerely... no matter what, do not let go of Her hand.Before you proceed, Dear Listener, please keep in mind that this episode will contain not only spoilers for The House in Fata Morgana but also discussions of a multitude of traumas and horrific experiences - as with our Umineko episodes, please refer to our content warnings below.Content Warnings for this episode:General Warnings for discussion of Torture, cutting/bloodletting, ingestion of blood, mutilation, and public degradation/humiliation1:06:00 to - 1:08:00 Umineko volume 7 Spoilers1:20:00 to - 1:30:00 Discussions of transphobia, misgendering, familial abuse1:27:30 to - 1:30:00 Crucifixion and posthumous torture As always, if you enjoy our show please be sure to rate and review us wherever you listen!

Good Morning. You're finally awake, aren't you? Yes, that's good. Hehe... we were worried, for a time, that you might sleep the whole week away. How glad we are now that you are here with us, within this manor, within this era, as we explore its halls and gather your stray and errant memories. Just make sure that as we travel, you never let go of our hands. This week, Sara and Runa begin their adventure into The House in Fata Morgana (2016), a gothic visual novel that will take players through a mysterious manor, guided by an equally mysterious Maid, as you observe the tragedies that unfolded in its hallways over the centuries. In this first of two episodes, we open the first three doors of game and bear witness to the lives of the former occupants, their hopes and struggles, and their unfortunate ends. We begin in 17th century England, with the illustrious Rhodes family and its two flaxen-haired children, Mell and Nellie. We then open the door to the early 18th century on the coast of Europe's mainland, in an era when the manor lies abandoned and a Beast has become its master. From there, we greet the 19th century and venture into New York City where an ambitious man shuts his wife away and dedicates himself to the pursuit of wealth and power. Throughout each tale, the Maid appears to serve the household and its Master. Throughout each era, a mysterious White-Haired Girl arrives at the manor and invariably meets a tragic end. What will we find at the end of this journey, when we at last can remember our name... and hers.

Launch protocols accepted. Pilot vital signs within nominal range. Catapult locked: Mission Accepted. The battle at hand is already underway - Which future are you planning to fight for? Who are you planning to fight for? What can you do, alone in space against the eternal, ever present pull of Earth's Gravity?This week, Sara and Runa are joined by tabletop developer and mecha enthusiast Bismuth to discuss the Worst Girls Games 2018 title, Heaven Will Be Mine. Join us as we fly over space colonies and dig through the history of the mecha genre, queer theory, the Space Program, and our own childhoods in an effort to answer one of the greatest questions of all time: How much are giant robot fights just about making out? As it turns out, the answer is almost 100%.Heaven Will Be Mine (2018) is a visual novel developed by Aeevee Bee, Max Schwartz, Alec Lambert, and with development and publication by Pillow Fight. It's a game about giant robots, about space, about interstellar conflict and the existential threat of truly inhuman, alien beings. It's also not really about any of that, at least not any more than it's about gender, queer liberation movements, Gravity, Culture, romance on the battlefield, mecha fights as communication and flirtation, and the all-encompassing desire to be a horny goblin when you see a hot girl on the other side of the war. If all of this sounds a bit abstract and difficult to parse, that's because Heaven Will Be Mine is a game rich with layered meanings and abstractions that are both literal and allegorical, narration that is both physically impossible and emotionally true, and conversations that may take you a few passes to fully grasp. The writing is brilliant and draws you deep into the realm of space at the same time as it gets you thinking about otherness, the force of expectation exerted by a dominant culture, and the relationships you've built between the people who surround you and cross your path. This game is about queerness, community, and what paths we should take forward into the future together even when that future is at times bleak and uncertain. Please join us as we unpack the three pilot routes and three endings to this game, discuss its implications, and sigh fondly over Luna-Terra's cool scars.  As always, if you enjoy the show please support us by giving us a rating and writing a review wherever you listen!

Aktualitātes analizē Latvijas TV korespondente Ilze Kalve, Latvijas Universitātes Teoloģijas fakultātes zinātniskais asistents Ņikita Andrejevs un Vidzemes augstskolas lektors Jānis Kapustāns. Liza Trasa stājas pie Lielbritānijas stūres 5. septembrī paziņotie Lielbritānijas Konservatīvo partijas biedru balsojuma rezultāti apliecināja jau iepriekš aptauju rezultātā prognozēto – Toriju partiju un Lielbritānijas valdību turpmāk vadīs līdzšinējā ārlietu ministre Mērija Elizabete Trasa, plašāk pazīstama kā Liza Trasa. Šobrīd 47 gadus vecā britu politiķe pievērsusies politikai jau studiju gados, kad darbojusies Liberāldemokrātiskās partijas Oksfordas universitātes studentu organizācijā, drīz pēc studiju pabeigšanas gan pārejot konservatīvo rindās. 2010. gadā viņa pirmoreiz tika ievēlēta Parlamentā, bet 2012. gadā pirmoreiz ieņēma amatu valdībā kā izglītības ministra vietniece bērnu un ģimenes jautājumos Deivida Kemerona kabinetā. Nepilnus divus gadus vēlāk Trasa saņēma vides, pārtikas un lauksaimniecības ministres portfeli. Pirms referenduma par Lielbritānijas izstāšanos no Eiropas Savienības Trasa iestājās pret „breksitu”, taču pēc referenduma iesaistījās tā īstenošanā un 2016. gada jūlijā kļuva par tieslietu ministri Terēzas Mejas pirmajā kabinetā. Sekoja Valsts kases virssekretāres, respektīvi – finanšu ministra biedres amats otrajā Mejas kabinetā, tad starptautiskās tirdzniecības ministres portfelis pirmajā un otrajā Borisa Džonsona kabinetā, bet pagājušā gada septembrī, Džonsonam veicot kabineta pārstrukturēšanu, – ārlietu ministres amats. Konservatīvo partijas līdera vēlēšanās pēc Borisa Džonsona demisijas Trasa ar 57% partijas biedru balsu pārspēja savu agrāko kolēģi, bijušo finanšu ministru Riši Sunaku. Jaunā premjerministre jau pabeigusi sava kabineta formēšanu. Valsts kases kanclera, respektīvi – finanšu ministra amatu ieņems premjerministres vienaudzis un ilglaicīgs politiskais līdzgaitnieks Kvazi Kvartengs. Premjerministres vietniece un veselības un sociālās aprūpes ministre būs līdzšinējā darba un pensiju lietu ministre un Trasas kampaņas vadītāja Terēze Anna Kofija; ārlietu ministrs – līdzšinējais izglītības ministrs Džeimss Kleverlijs, iekšlietu ministre – juriste un politiķe Suella Breivermena. Tiek atzīmēts, ka šajos amatos, kas tiek uzskatīti par nozīmīgākajiem britu valdībā, pirmo reizi vēsturē nav neviena baltā vīrieša, ciktāl Kvartengs ir Ganas imigrantu atvase, savukārt Kleverlija māte nāk no Sjerraleones. Šobrīd visai nozīmīgo aizsardzības ministra portfeli saglabājis Bens Volless. Vairums no Trasas kabineta ministriem pieder pie vienas politiķu paaudzes – dzimuši pagājušā gadsimta 60. gadu otrajā pusē vai 70. gados un Parlamentā pirmoreiz ievēlēti 2010. vai 2015. gada vēlēšanās. Ar sevišķu gandarījumu Līzas Trasas stāšanos amatā uztver Ukraina, ciktāl nenākas šaubīties, ka jaunā premjerministre turpinās Borisa Džonsona iedibināto stingra Ukrainas atbalsta kursu. Pareizticīgā baznīca ticības un varas sadurā Pasaules vēsturē netrūkst piemēru, kad dažādas kristīgās baznīcas iesaistījušās gluži laicīgās varas cīņās. Pēdējos gadsimtos, kad lielākajā daļā kristīgās pasaules notikusi baznīcas šķiršana no valsts, šādas situācijas gan kļuvušas samērā retākas. Tomēr politika, kādu pēdējās desmitgadēs arvien pamanāmāk piekopusi Krievijas pareizticīgā baznīca, liek šai ziņā atcerēties pagātnes piemērus. Runa ir, pirmām kārtām, par Krievijas pareizticīgās baznīcas vadības – Maskavas Patriarhāta – tieksmi paturēt savā varā pareizticīgās baznīcas visā bijušās Padomju Savienības teritorijā (izņemot vēsturiski neatkarīgās Gruzijas un Armēnijas pareizticīgās baznīcas). Tajā pat laikā Krievijas pareizticīgā baznīca uzkrītoši tuvinājusies Kremļa īstenotajai agresīvajai ārpolitikai, dodot savu artavu t.s. „Krievu pasaules” stiprināšanā. Gluži kā Krievijas impērijas vēlīnajā periodā pareizticība Maskavas Patriarhāta izpildījumā kļuvusi par impērisko tieksmju balstu un instrumentu līdzās monarha autoritātei un krievu valodai. Sevišķi pamanāma šī tendence kļuvusi kopš Krievijas agresijas sākuma pret Ukrainu 2014. gadā, izraisot neizbēgamu pretreakciju – kustību par Ukrainas pareizticīgās baznīcas aiziešanu no Maskavas Patriarhāta pakļautības, kļūstot par patstāvīgu jeb autokefālu baznīcu, līdzīgi pareizticīgajām baznīcām Balkānu, Centrāleiropas un Aizkaukāza valstīs. No Maskavas viedokļa autokefāliju Ukrainas pareizticīgajai baznīcai var piešķirt tikai Krievijas pareizticīgā baznīca kā tās līdzšinējā „mātes baznīca”. Taču Konstantinopoles patriarhāts, kurš tiek uzskatīts par augstāko autoritāti jeb „pirmo starp līdzīgiem” pareizticīgajā pasaulē, deklarēja, ka 17. gs. notikusī Ukrainas pareizticīgās baznīcas pakļaušana Maskavas Patriarhātam nav atbildusi kanoniskajiem principiem. Attiecīgi Konstantinopoles patriarhs Bartolomejs  2018. gadā piešķīra Ukrainas pareizticīgajai baznīcai autokefālijas statusu. Par atbildi Krievijas pareizticīgās baznīcas Sinode pieņēma lēmumu par eiharistiskās saziņas pārtraukšanu ar Konstantinopoles patriarhātu, kas nozīmē ne vien jebkādas sadarbības pārtraukšanu, bet arī liegumu ikvienam Krievijas pareizticīgajam saņemt svēto vakarēdienu, tikt kristītam vai laulātam Konstantinopoles patriarhāta pakļautībā esošajās baznīcās. Kopš tā laika līdzīga attiecību pārtraukšana notikusi arī ar tām baznīcām, kuras atzinušas autokefālo Ukrainas pareizticīgo baznīcu, proti – ar Aleksandrijas patriarhātu un Grieķijas un Kipras autokefālās baznīcas. Var piebilst, ka līdzīga situācija bija 1996. gadā, kad Konstantinopoles patriarhāts atjaunoja savas autonomās baznīcas statusu Igaunijas Apustuliskajai pareizticīgajai baznīcai. Toreiz attiecības starp Konstantinopoli un Maskavu gan tika atjaunotas pēc trīs mēnešiem, taču Igaunijā kopš tā laika pastāv divas viena otru neatzīstošas pareizticīgās baznīcas.

This week Chris and Daniel recap episode 3 of She-Hulk. This episode is titled "The People vs. Emil Blonsky". Summary: Walters confronts Blonsky, who explains that he was removed from his cell by the Sorcerer Supreme Wong and that he returned to prison willingly afterwards. While she attempts to contact Wong, news of her appointment as Blonsky's lawyer stirs up public controversy. Her former colleague Dennis Bukowski approaches the superhuman law division for a case involving his ex-girlfriend Runa, a shape-shifting Light Elf from New Asgard who defrauded him by impersonating Megan Thee Stallion, which gets assigned to Walters' coworker Augustus "Pug" Pugliese. Wong meets with Walters and agrees to testify at Blonsky's parole hearing, during which Blonsky demonstrates his ability to remain in control as the Abomination. While Walters helps Pug win his case, Blonsky is released on parole, but forbidden from transforming again. After participating in a televised interview to tell her side of the story, Walters is attacked by four men armed with Asgardian construction equipment, who were hired by an anonymous client to steal a sample of her blood, though she fights them off.

It's a cameo filled extravaganza for She-Hulk Attorney At Law Episode 3 "The People Vs Emil Blonsky" with special guest stars Tim Roth, Megan Thee Stallion and Benedict Wong. She-Hulk Attorney At Law Episode 3 "The People Vs Emil Blonsky" Synopsis She-Hulk Character co-created by: Stan Lee, Jack Kirby ,John Buscema Executive Producers - Kevin Feige, Louis D'Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Brad Winderbaum, Jessica Gao, Kat Coiro Head Writer: Kat Coiro Episode Written by: Francesca Gailes and Jacqueline J Gailes Episode directed by: Jessica Gao At her new firm, GKL & H, She-Hulk attorney at law begins her first case defending Emil Blonsky AKA The Abomination at his parole hearing.

At the parole board hearing Wong confirms that Blonsky was taken by him to China and offered freedom and asylum in Kamar Taj, but Emil refused and chose to return to prison to serve out his sentence. With the assurance that Emil Blonsky will never change into The Abomination again and Wong's testimony, he is granted parole to live out his life with his seven soulmates.

Following the hearing Jennifer is attacked by a crew outside her home with some Asgardian construction tools. In her She-Hulk form they are easily defeated but remark that their boss won't be happy they failed to get a sample of Jenn's blood.With the case won and her attackers dispatched, Jenn has a new client, and a friend she'd kill for, as she twerks with Megan Thee Stallion in her office.

Even in the last week of August, sometimes the summer feels like it'll never end.  The warm breeze slipping through the screen door at night, the buzz of car engines and cicadas, and the flood of light that pours across the streets after sundown... Even on its very last day, summer can feel eternal.This week, Sara and Runa visit the disco, tour the city, and experience romance in the 80's in A Summer's End - Hong Kong 1986! Join us as we follow Michelle, a 23-year-old office worker living with her mother in Hong Kong (and as the game's title implies, we're right at the start of August in 1986). Michelle lost her father when she was still in school and since then, she's become more studious, more serious, more dedicated to her work and more focused on providing for her mother and advancing her career. A single accident causes her to break her new heels on the way to work one morning, though, and this threatens to throw off the rest of her entire day - Michelle swears it's caused her usual 0.01% text entry error rate to more than triple. After suffering through the entire day wearing convenience store flip flops that clash horribly with her 80's business blazer and plaid skirt, she takes her boss's recommendation and heads across the city to find a cobbler. That's where she meets Sam, and that's where Michelle's entire life, her steady routine of going in to work each day and returning home every evening gets disrupted. Sam is gorgeous. Sam looks handsome in a t-shirt and overalls and stunning in a jacket and mini-skirt. Sam invites Michelle out without the slightest hesitation in her voice. Michelle keeps swearing that the next time she sees Sam, it will be the last time the two of them ever have to speak... but each time, she ends up spending more and more time at Sam's side, in her shop, beside her at a disco club, in her apartment, and eventually in her bed. What is it that Michelle wants, truly? What choice will she make, when faced with the prospect of life with Sam and the threat of losing the stability in her life? At the end of the summer when Hong Kong is as vibrant as ever and political turmoil looms the city, Michelle and Sam watch the stars and consider what it would mean to have a future together.As always, if you enjoy the show please support us by giving us a rating and writing a review wherever you listen!

Ne mēs to izdomājām, ne mums, visticamāk, to izdosies iznīcināt. Runa ir par cilvēku diskrimināciju pēc etniskās piederības. Neskatoties uz to, ka Latvijā virkne likumu skar diskriminācijas aizliegumus izglītības, nodarbinātības un sociālās iekļaušanās jomā, sabiedrībā joprojām pastāv diskriminācijas pazīmes pēc dažādiem aspektiem, viens no tiem – diskriminācija etniskās piederības dēļ. Kā mazināt etnisko diskrimināciju mūsu valstī? Raidījumā Kā labāk dzīvot diskutē Ventspils Augsto tehnoloģiju parka vadošā eksperte dažādības jautājumos Rasma Pīpiķe, meksikānis, kurš Latvijā dzīvo jau vairākus gadu desmitus, pavārs Havjers Garsija, kampaņas "Sajūti. Sadzirdi. Saproti" dalībnieks un sabiedrības integrācijas fonda sekretariāta direktore Zaiga Pūce.

Her hafta birbirinden farklı hikayelerle izleyicilerini kıssadan hisse almaya davet eden Serdar Tuncer, bu hafta Biri Bir Gün'de bir sandık dolusu altın bulabilmenin yolunu anlatıyor... Serdar Tuncer bu bölümde başlıca şunları anlattı: Selamın aleyküm erenler ve dahi erenlere gönül verenler hatta ve hatta gerçek hazinenin nerede saklı olduğunu bilenler. Diyeceksiniz ki bu ne demek şimdi? Bugün size Biri Bir Gün'de bir sandık dolusu altın bulabilmenin yolunu anlatacağım. Gerçekten, şaka yapmıyorum. Bir sandık dolusu altın... Hani böyle olur ya şurayı kaz, şuradan kırk adım yürü, buradan elli adım geri gel, öbür taraftan güneşin doğduğu yerde şunu yap... Ben pek anlamam bu işlerden de meraklıları pek güzel bakıyorlar. Onu var ya aramak bulmaktan daha keyifli benim gördüğüm o. Bi kaç arayanla oturup sohbet etmişliğim var. Güzel bi hobi, lüzumsuz bi uğraş ama bizimki öyle bi haritanın üzerinden değil, bir hikayenin üzerinden bir sandık dolusu altın nasıl bulunur onu anlatacağız... Devamı videoda... Gelin, Beraber Yürüyelim...

Dear Readers,That about sums it up.In the second and final part of our Tokimeki Memorial coverage, Runa and Sara finally managed to get a confession of eternal love from Shiori Fujisaki. The cost? Well... what price can you put on the time you spend in the virtual high school of your youth? Especially when that time is flying by at 400% speed and you're constantly jumping back and forth between weeks in order to manipulate the random chance of the Universe.This week, we're once again joined by Cristaly and KT as we cap off our discussions of the SNES port of Tokimeki Memorial, playing with the recently released fan translation patch that came out earlier this year. For more information about the game broadly and its overall structure, check out our previous episode, Say it in Red Episode 28! In this episode though, we talk about the remaining routes of the game including the secret dating option, the continuous uphill path of trying to date Shiori, and some of our overall impressions of the game as a whole. Runa and Sara lay out the various strategies they used to finally meet Shiori under the Tree of Legends, KT tells us about Rei Ijuin, Cristaly explains the incredible design and features of Tokimeki Memorial Girls' Side, and everyone remembers the Konami of the 90's with a sort of fond, bittersweet nostalgia.As Runa mentioned in this episode, you can also find her latest game, the horror-mystery Visual Novel 77 Oleander Avenue at runa-liore.itch.io/77-Oleander!As always, if you enjoy the show please consider giving us a rating and writing a review!

Oh hey, it's you! I bet you wanna know what all the girls in our school think about you. Sure Sure Sure, you know I've got your back! Let me just flip through my notes...........................................Tokimeki Memorial? Yeah, here's all the info I have on her!This week, Sara and Runa are joined by fellow 90's dating sim enthusiasts KT and Cristaly to play through the groundbreaking, foundational, and immensely engaging classic Tokimeki Memorial! As a young boy entering high school, it's your goal, your truest desire, to date your neighbor and childhood friend Shiori Fujisaki. You've known Shiori for years, you've had a crush on her for longer than you can remember, and as you walk home with her after your entrance exam she tells you the legend of a tree that can grant young couples a lifetime of happiness. The trouble is that you're... kind of lame. In every way. High school won't last forever and you've only got three years to study, work out, shower and flip your hair, hone your artistic talents,  build your spirit, and become someone worthy of standing at Shiori's side. She wants you to, after all, but she's not going to accept anything less than her exceptional standards. Surely, knowing how much she expects from you, you won't be swayed by any of the other cute girls you meet along the way... will you?Konami's Tokimeki Memorial (1994) is quite possibly the single most influential dating sim to ever exist. It's impact reaches across genres, across mediums, through the decades, and even if you've never played Tokimeki Memorial yourself we can guarantee that you've played games influenced by it. In the game you play as a boy in high school trying to date girls and while our main character is focused on Shiori, players may quickly find themselves drawn to one of the other cute girls who run into you (sometimes literally) as you go about your high school life. The core of Tokimeki Memorial is simple and ingenious: Choose activities to raise various stats, and based on those stats you may either encounter new girls, trigger events, or do better during exams. Every Sunday afternoon, or on holidays, you can call someone as well - either your assigned Best Friend Yoshio, who can give you information about how each girl feels about you, or one of the girls you've met to ask her out on a date. This very simple gameplay loop is extremely effective, catches hold of you quickly, and keeps you hooked through three years of high school while you date girls, avoid bombs (girls bomb you if you neglect them by the way, this is just a known fact), and wait with bated breath to see who ends up confessing to you under the tree of legend on graduation day. Come, the spring of your youth is upon you! And just how long do you plan to keep Shiori waiting?This is the first of our two Tokimeki Memorial episodes so look forward to the next Tokimemo episode coming out in July! As always, if you enjoy the show please rate us and write a review if you have time - it helps tremendously and we read and appreciate each one!

TRAVEL WITH CELTIC INVASION VACATIONS Every year, I take a small group of Celtic music fans on the relaxing adventure of a lifetime. We don't see everything. Instead, we stay in one area. We get to know the region through its culture, history, and legends. You can join us with an auditory and visual adventure through podcasts and videos.

Eugene McDonnell emailed: "Hi Marc, how is Patreon connected to your Celtic Music Magazine?" Peter Bengtson sent a photo: "On my morning walk, this is only about 1/2 of the painted rocks at this house. Zoom in for detail" And another: "My morning walk close to the Catalina mountains. Beautiful sunny (but cold), listening to episode 548  -  very nice" Michael R. Gorman emailed: "Marc, I hope this email does not come across as too strange, but before about 45 minutes ago, I had never heard of you. I was searching Pandora for some traditional Celtic music to play as a background to a personal spring/renewal ritual I felt compelled to do on this cool California night. When I happened upon your Podcast #196, I immediately knew I had my background music. I thought your talking would be a distraction, but it was not at all, like an extension of the music of the ancestors. I won't go into detail about my ritual tonight, other than to say this ritual marks the end of a very long period of trial and pain in one of my life's dark valleys, but the thing about valleys is that there are always the hills beyond to climb if you can just keep walking. I did, and tonight is like a new birth from the cauldron of the Cailleach. I have not cut my hair in ten years until tonight (by no means short, but shorter), a show of faith in renewed growth, and to offer a red - blonde lock as tribute to the ancestors. I don't know much about you or what your spirituality may be, but I felt the need to thank you for being with me on this small milestone in my journey. I look forward to getting to know you better through your work. And thank you. Blessings of the Tuatha de,”
