What if the biggest improvements to your health aren't hiding inside another supplement, expensive biohack, or complicated protocol, but in the signals you're sending your body every single day? In this special episode of the SuperLife Podcast, Darin walks through his personal daily routine from the moment he wakes up, explaining not only what he does, but why he does it. From getting outside before touching his phone to morning light, hydration, meditation, breathwork, journaling, cacao, movement, food, and eventually shutting off the breaker to his bedroom at night, Darin breaks down the practices he has built into the rhythm of his life. But this isn't a prescription to copy Darin's routine. It's an invitation to understand the biological signals behind it and build your own. Darin's central idea is simple: food is information, light is information, breath is information. Every input you give your body becomes a set of instructions your cells have to respond to. Drawing from research on circadian biology, hydration, meditation, nervous system regulation, expressive writing, cacao flavanols, resistance training, cardiovascular health, and longevity, Darin explains how simple behaviors compound over decades. The healthiest and longest-lived people he has encountered around the world didn't necessarily follow elaborate protocols. Their health was embedded into a rhythm of light, movement, real food, darkness, and sleep. This is a practical look inside the habits Darin actually uses, and a reminder that your health isn't created by one massive intervention. It's built through the seemingly insignificant decisions you repeat every day. What You'll Learn What Darin does from the moment he wakes up each morning Why he goes outside before looking at his phone How morning light helps synchronize your circadian rhythm and nighttime sleep Why hydration comes before coffee or other stimulants How meditation and conscious breathing can change your relationship with stress Why Darin considers breath one of the fastest ways to influence your nervous system How journaling can help process emotions, gratitude, grief, and mental stress Why cacao has become part of Darin's morning ritual How resistance training and aerobic movement support long-term health Why Darin believes health is ultimately about creating a biological rhythm rather than blindly following someone else's protocol Chapters 00:00:03 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:34 – Sponsor: Bite 00:02:49 – What Darin does before touching his phone every morning 00:03:11 – Why your biology is waiting for the signal of morning light 00:03:44 – The purpose behind Darin's daily routine 00:04:12 – Why you shouldn't simply copy someone else's protocol 00:04:37 – Food, light, and breath are information 00:05:06 – How the modern day disrupts your natural biology 00:05:51 – The danger of stacking small "fatal conveniences" for decades 00:06:20 – Why Darin built his life around biological rhythm 00:06:47 – Darin's morning hydration routine 00:07:11 – Why Darin wakes up between 4 and 5 A.M. 00:07:38 – Morning sunlight, no sunglasses, and no screens 00:07:48 – Your body's master circadian clock 00:08:40 – What research says about morning sunlight and sleep 00:09:21 – The cheapest thing you can do tonight for better sleep 00:09:44 – Why Darin drinks water before anything else 00:10:22 – Darin's daily meditation practice 00:10:54 – What research shows about mindfulness, anxiety, depression, and pain 00:11:33 – Sponsor: Fatty15 00:15:14 – Training yourself not to be hijacked by the modern world 00:15:43 – Your breath is the steering wheel of your nervous system 00:16:33 – The five-minute breathing practice that changed mood and respiratory rate 00:17:13 – How conscious breathing can shift your nervous system 00:17:42 – Darin's journaling and gratitude practice 00:18:15 – Journaling through grief after losing his mother 00:18:44 – What expressive writing research reveals about mental health 00:19:17 – Why an unprocessed thought can become physiological stress 00:19:30 – The sequence Darin follows before consuming anything stimulating 00:19:39 – Why cacao is part of Darin's morning ritual 00:20:06 – Darin reveals the cacao project he's developing 00:20:32 – The massive COSMOS cacao study 00:21:36 – Cacao and potential cognitive benefits 00:22:13 – Flavanols, nitric oxide, theobromine, magnesium, and polyphenols 00:22:50 – What to avoid when choosing cacao 00:23:19 – Darin's approach to resistance training 00:23:43 – Why movement doesn't need to be complicated 00:24:19 – Resistance training and longevity 00:24:54 – The powerful combination of strength training and aerobic activity 00:25:17 – Why walking may be one of the simplest longevity tools 00:25:46 – Muscle, blood sugar, myokines, and grip strength 00:26:15 – How injury changed Darin's relationship with training 00:26:51 – Training to experience more of life 00:27:14 – The principle the entire episode builds toward: food is information 00:27:26 – What you've learned from Darin's morning routine 00:27:49 – What Darin eats every day and his nighttime routine 00:28:18 – Continue Darin's complete daily protocol on Patreon Thank You to Our Sponsors: Bite Toothpaste: Go to trybite.com/DARIN20 or use code DARIN20 for 20% off your first order.

It's built from the information you repeatedly give your body. Light is information. Breath is information. Food is information. Movement is information. Darkness is information. Every day, your cells are listening to the signals you send them, whether you're consciously choosing those signals or allowing the modern world to choose them for you. You don't need to copy my routine. Understand why these practices matter, listen to your own body, and build a rhythm that works for your life. Because the seemingly insignificant things you do every morning, every afternoon, and every night eventually become your biology." Bibliography/Sources Morning Light Anderson, et al. (2025).

Camille est l'une des artistes les plus singulières de la scène française. Chanteuse, auteure-compositrice-interprète, elle façonne depuis plus de vingt ans une œuvre où la voix devient un instrument à part entière, entre chanson et expérimentation sonore. Oscarisée en 2025 pour la chanson El Mal du film Emilia Pérez, elle a également collaboré avec le compositeur Hans Zimmer.Dans cette série en trois épisodes de Baleine sous Gravillon, Camille revient sur son enfance à la campagne, son rapport intime à la nature, sa manière d'écouter le monde et ce qui nourrit sa création. Des premiers souvenirs de vivant à son nouvel album The Sound of Milk, sorti le 18 septembre 2026, en passant par les paysages sonores de Bernie Krause, elle partage une vision où musique, écologie et imagination se répondent.Au fil de la conversation, nous évoquons aussi son parcours exceptionnel, de ses débuts jusqu'à l'Oscar de la meilleure chanson originale pour El Mal (Emilia Pérez), tout en explorant une question centrale : comment le vivant inspire-t-il notre manière de créer et d'habiter le monde ?___

Oscarisée en 2025 pour la chanson El Mal du film Emilia Pérez, elle a également collaboré avec le compositeur Hans Zimmer.Dans cette série en trois épisodes de Baleine sous Gravillon, Camille revient sur son enfance à la campagne, son rapport intime à la nature, sa manière d'écouter le monde et ce qui nourrit sa création. Des premiers souvenirs de vivant à son nouvel album The Sound of Milk, sorti le 18 septembre 2026, en passant par les paysages sonores de Bernie Krause, elle partage une vision où musique, écologie et imagination se répondent.Au fil de la conversation, nous évoquons aussi son parcours exceptionnel, de ses débuts jusqu'à l'Oscar de la meilleure chanson originale pour El Mal (Emilia Pérez), tout en explorant une question centrale : comment le vivant inspire-t-il notre manière de créer et d'habiter le monde ?___

Nearly every person will experience at least one diagnostic error in their lifetime. That means either a delayed diagnosis, a wrong diagnosis – or no diagnosis at all. That's according to a report by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine from 2015 on diagnostic error. Today on the show we talk to a physician who was personally affected by the crisis, and New York Times editor and author of the book The Elusive Body: Patients, Doctors and the Diagnosis Crisis.If you liked this episode, check out these other episodes:- How science is taking tripping mainstream- What If You Took The "Trip" Out Of Ketamine?- Could Psychedelics Become Tripless?- The Reality Of OCDInterested in more medical science?

Comment l'Antiquité gréco-romaine a-t-elle été instrumentalisée pour légitimer les idéologies coloniales à travers les siècles ? De quelle manière les conquistadors ont-ils détourné des récits comme celui de l'Atlantide de Platon pour revendiquer un droit de propriété historique sur les Amériques ? En quoi les théories d'Aristote sur l'inégalité naturelle servirent-elles à justifier l'asservissement des populations indigènes ?

Partout sur le globe, des océans, des mers, des fleuves, des îles, des continents, des pays, des villes, des montagnes ou des déserts ont été nommés par des Européens, au gré des conquêtes, des explorations et des colonisations.Ainsi, la région de la Louisiane aux États-Unis fait référence au roi Louis XIV tandis que le Sagarmāthā, plus haut sommet terrestre, est plus connu sous le nom d'un arpenteur général des Indes, Georges Everest. Les plus majestueuses chutes d'Afrique ont reçu le nom d'une souveraine britannique, Victoria.Nommer les choses, les êtres, c'est déjà les posséder un peu.La décolonisation toponymique rebat les cartes dans bien des pays, un président américain martèle qu'il veut rebaptiser le golfe du Mexique en golfe d'Amérique… Les noms de lieux aux quatre coins du monde, c'est tout une histoire…… que nous raconte Nicolas Perrot, l'auteur de Comment l'Europe a nommé le monde (Riveneuve 2025).___

In the mid-1970s, David Bowie became convinced something was living in his swimming pool – and instead of a priest, he called a witch.

Their first confirmed victim, in March 1981, is their own roommate, aspiring actress Keryn Barnes, stabbed thirteen times and beaten with a frying pan after Suzan decides she's a witch stealing her "yogic powers." From there the couple drifts to a Northern California marijuana farm, where Michael shoots fellow farmhand Clark Stephens in the head and tries to burn the body, and then to the shoulder of Highway 101 in 1983, where hitchhiking ends with driver Jon Charles Hellyar stabbed and shot in front of passing traffic. A televised press conference, a recanted confession, and two 75-years-to-life sentences follow, and Michael's own daughter Jenn later describes visiting him in prison as looking into the eyes of someone with no soul.The episode closes in the mid-1970s with rock journalist and Wiccan practitioner Walli Elmlark, the Circus Magazine columnist New York knew as the White Witch, whose story is told through the memoir of her friend Timothy Green Beckley, founder of the New York School of Occult Arts and Sciences on 14th Street. Elmlark's most famous client is David Bowie, who at the height of a cocaine addiction is drawing protective pentagrams on every surface of his Los Angeles home and reading Dion Fortune's "Psychic Self Defense" as a survival manual. When Bowie becomes convinced Satan is living in his indoor pool, he turns down a Greek Orthodox priest and instead performs an exorcism from Elmlark's written instructions, with a few hundred dollars of talismans bought from Hollywood occult shops. According to his then-wife Angie, the water begins to thrash, a gargoyle-shaped stain appears on the bottom of the pool, and later tenants can't paint it away. Elmlark herself dies around 1980 of a barbiturate overdose, a death her friends learned of only through her family and which at least one of them still finds suspicious.

In this episode of the Epigenetics Podcast, we talked with Onder Albayram from the Medical University of South Carolina about the role of the endocannabinoid system in brain aging and neuroprotection. A major part of the conversation focuses on the endocannabinoid system. We talk about CB1 receptors, the endogenous ligands anandamide and 2-AG, and the enzymes involved in making and breaking them down. Dr. Albayram explains that this signaling system is widespread in the brain and is important for neuroimmune regulation and neuronal communication. We then cover his aging studies in the hippocampus. He reports that endocannabinoid tone declines with age, with reduced 2-AG and related biosynthetic machinery in old hippocampus, without a compensatory increase in receptor expression. He also describes experiments showing that deleting CB1 receptors improves learning in young animals but impairs performance in old animals. Another key topic is low-dose THC treatment in old mice. He reports that prolonged low-dose THC improved learning and memory in old animals, while reducing performance in young animals. After washout, the older animals still showed improved behavior, along with changes in synaptic proteins and gene expression patterns that shifted toward a younger profile. We also discuss the epigenetic findings. He says THC increased histone acetylation at promoters of anti-aging genes such as BDNF and Klotho after treatment had ended, suggesting longer-lasting regulation. He is now focusing on GABAergic neurons in the hippocampus to identify the specific epigenetic mechanisms involved and how they may relate to age-dependent neurodegenerative disorders.

What is kinship? This central question in cultural anthropology is standardly answered in terms of culturally constructed relationships that are unconstrained by biological relationships. In Kin Matters: Relational Beings in the Fragile Sciences (Oxford UP, 2026), Robert Wilson proposes an alternative view that does not separate kin relations from biological facts about reproduction that are universally known, such as the fact that human females are pregnant before they give birth. On the Progenerative View, kinship is the cultural elaboration of reproductive relations, which act as constraints on kin relations. Wilson, who is professor of philosophy at the University of Western Australia, also analyzes incest avoidance from this perspective, and draws on clinical findings, primatology, and philosophy of mind and philosophy of biology to develop his biologically-based yet non-reductive and culturally variable view of kinship.Support our show by becoming a premium member! https://newbooksnetwork.supportingcast.fm/critical-theory Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

À l'occasion de la journée mondiale de prévention du suicide qui se tient le 10 septembre, nous parlons de ce sujet encore tabou. Selon l'OMS, chaque année, 720 000 personnes se suicident. 73% de ces suicides surviennent dans des pays à revenu faible ou intermédiaire. Derrière les chiffres, se cache la tragédie vécue par la famille et l'entourage. Quelles sont les personnes les plus à risque ? Comment les aider ? Peut-on réellement éviter les suicides ?   Le 10 septembre, c'est la journée mondiale de prévention du suicide. L'occasion de rappeler qu'en parler est essentiel pour lutter contre la stigmatisation associée au suicide et plus largement, à la santé mentale. La prévention et la sensibilisation sont essentielles pour faire reculer le suicide, qui est aujourd'hui la troisième cause de mortalité chez les 15-29 ans, d'après l'OMS. Dans un pays comme la France, on recense plus de 150 000 tentatives de suicide chaque année, avec plus de 9.000 issues fatales. Fragilité psychique, antécédents familiaux, tentatives à répétition... Il est important de prendre conscience des risques, comme des comportements et propos inquiétants chez la personne qui manifeste des intentions autodestructrices.    Cette prévention prend plusieurs formes. La sensibilisation évite le sensationnalisme et toute stigmatisation, l'amélioration de l'écoute et le renforcement des moyens et des prises en charge. La prévention du suicide, ce n'est pas simplement l'affaire des médecins ou des soignants. Au-delà, l'entourage, les médias traditionnels ou non comme les autorités publiques et le monde associatif ont leur rôle à jouer pour faire reculer ce problème de santé publique face auquel il ne faut pas avoir peur des mots.    Avec : Pr Priscille Gerardin, professeur, chef de pôle de Psychiatrie de Enfants et Adolescents au Centre Hospitalier du Rouvray et des unités universitaires au CHU de Rouen  Pr Damèga Wenkourama, médecin psychiatre addictologue et chef de Service de Psychiatrie du CHU de Kara. Maître de conférences agrégé de Psychiatrie d'Adultes à la Faculté des Sciences de la Santé de l'Université de Kara au Togo. Président de l'Association des Psychiatres du Togo (APsyT) Reportage de Raphaëlle Constant.   Programmation musicale :  ► Joy Rhodes – Supposed to ► Orch, Parlour Tapes – Smiling.

Pourquoi traitons-nous certains animaux comme des membres de notre famille et d'autres comme de simples objets ? D'où vient ce mépris des "bêtes", la misothérie (ou spécisme, dès lors que la misothérie, ,ce dégoût indifférents, se structure en idéologie) ?Dans cette série, la préhistorienne Marylène Patou-Mathis et la philosophe Marie-Claude Marsolier croisent leurs regards pour retracer l'histoire de notre rapport aux autres animaux.Des cueilleurs-chasseurs à l'élevage en batterie, des expressions courantes aux discours politiques, elles montrent comment notre manière de penser les animaux façonne aussi notre manière de traiter les êtres humains.À partir de leurs ouvragesNous étions si proches et Le mépris des « bêtes » : Un lexique de la ségrégation animale, cette série invite à questionner les frontières entre nous et le reste du Vivant.___

En gros, dans le monde, il y a trois catégories de personnes. il y a ceux qui se lèvent pour Danette.Ceux qui se lèvent pour défendre ce qui reste du monde vivant.Et ceux qui sont indifférents à la 6e extinction de masse.Parmi ces derniers, il y a l'immense majorité de ceux qui s'en moquent, qui sont indifférents et qui ont juste d'autres chats à fouetter. C'est la fameuse "fin du mois" qui renvoie la "fin du monde" loin dans l'accessoire.Et puis il y a ceux qui revendiquent haut et court leur mépris/haine des autres animaux. Ceux qui sont à l'aise avec "Croissez et multipliez !" (Dieu) et autres "Se rendre comme maîtres et possesseurs de la Nature" (René).

Christians seem odd. Our odd views are counter culture. However, let us respond to our critics in a way that counters their own cultural narrative about Christianity. What if the very thing you find concerning ends up offering you far more hope than you ever dared dream? How can answers to the challenge of critics counter the cultural narrative about us, and offer hope to all?The sermon today is titled "You Are Anti-Science," dealing with the claim that Christianity seem skeptical of science, and scientists seem skeptical of religion. This sermon is the fourth installment in our series "Counter/Culture." The Scripture reading is from Psalm 111:2-3 (ESV). Originally preached at the West Side Church of Christ (Searcy, AR) on September 6, 2026. All lessons fit under 6 broad categories: Begin, Instill, Discover, Grow, Learn, and Serve.

On this Summer Friday, we've put together some of our favorite recent interviews, including: Katie Gaddini, sociologist, a visiting scholar at Stanford University, an associate professor of sociology at the Social Research Institute, University College London (UCL) and a research associate at the University of Johannesburg department of sociology, and the author of Esther's Army: The Christian Women Who Power the American Right (WW Norton, 2026), talks about her research into the activism of right-wing Christian women and their leadership of the political evangelical movement. Ian Shapiro, professor of political science and global affairs at Yale University, a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Philosophical Society, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the author of After the Fall: From the End of History to the Crisis of Democracy, How Politicians Broke Our World (Basic Books, 2026), traces the breakdown in democratic institutions to missteps by Western leaders following the fall of the Soviet Union. Isaac Butler, culture historian, critic, podcaster and the author of The Perfect Moment: God, Sex, Art, and the Birth of America's Culture Wars (Bloomsbury, 2026), revisits the late 1980s start of the culture wars as the religious right took on the contemporary art world. As the number of adults who report reading books has declined, Rose Horowitch, staff writer for The Atlantic, argues that we're living in a "post-literate world" and talks about what that means for society. As part of the yearlong series "Wild NYC," Marielle Anzelone, urban botanist and ecologist and the founder of NYC Wildflower Week, and Clara Holmes, plant ecologist at New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, talk about the challenges facing local wildflowers and native plants and how to preserve them. These interviews were lightly polished up and edited for time, the original versions are available here: The Political Power of Christian Right Women (July 22) Where Western Leaders Went Wrong (May 8) Where the Culture Wars Began (June 23) Our 'Post-Literate World' (July 8) Wild NYC - Wildflowers (June 10) Photo: Narrow-leaved Blue-eyed Grass - native wildflower with grasslike leaves and small blue-violet flowers. Grows in open sandy meadows in low wet spots. Uncommon in NYC and locally rare. {Marielle Anzelone) Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What if spending time in nature isn't simply good for you, but something your brain is biologically designed to need? In this solo episode, Darin explores the sensory neuroscience of nature and the growing research suggesting that our increasingly indoor lives may be fundamentally mismatched with the environments our brains and nervous systems evolved to experience. From walls and screens to fluorescent lights, traffic, right angles, and constant notifications, modern environments bombard us with sensory inputs our ancestors never encountered at this scale. The numbers put that mismatch into perspective. Darin highlights research suggesting the average American spends roughly 87% of life indoors and another 6% inside vehicles. In other words, we've effectively become an indoor species living inside outdoor-evolved bodies, brains, eyes, and nervous systems. Darin breaks down why this isn't merely another reminder to "go outside." He explores how modern environments place continuous demands on executive attention, why sustained attention can eventually give way to rumination and mental chatter, and what more than 100 brain-imaging studies may reveal about what happens when we finally return our brains to natural environments. This episode ultimately asks a surprisingly important question: What if nature isn't a luxury or lifestyle preference, but a biological input we've slowly removed from our lives? What You'll Learn Why your brain evolved for branches, coastlines, clouds, mountains, and irregular natural geometry instead of straight lines How much of the average American's life is now spent indoors or inside vehicles Why Darin describes modern life as an evolutionary mismatch for the nervous system How artificial environments continually demand processing from your executive attention system Why sustained directed attention can eventually lead to fatigue, rumination, and mental chatter How light, sound, movement, visual patterns, and circadian cues shaped the human nervous system Why simply telling people to "go outside more" may underestimate what's happening neurologically What researchers mean by high-load visual and auditory environments What a review of more than 100 brain-imaging studies investigated about nature exposure What the brain scans reveal about nature, fractal patterns, rumination, and neural restoration in the second half of the episode Chapters 00:00:03 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:34 – Sponsor: Alkemis 00:03:25 – When was the last time you stopped seeing straight lines? 00:03:49 – Your brain wasn't designed for the geometry of modern life 00:04:44 – The sensory neuroscience of nature 00:05:14 – Why your nervous system may be starving indoors 00:05:49 – Darin records the episode outside 00:06:04 – How much of our lives do we actually spend indoors? 00:06:48 – Outdoor-evolved humans have become an indoor species 00:07:47 – Why "go outside" is more than feel-good advice 00:08:22 – The evolutionary mismatch affecting your nervous system 00:09:33 – Ancient biological hardware in a radically modern environment 00:09:49 – How indoor environments overload your attention system 00:10:47 – Sponsor: Manna Vitality 00:12:42 – Your attention system wasn't built for infinite stimulation 00:13:00 – Rumination, looping thoughts, and mental chatter 00:13:24 – The fatal convenience of modern civilization 00:13:58 – What we've removed from the human sensory environment 00:14:19 – The neuroscience deep dive begins 00:14:40 – More than 100 brain-imaging studies on nature exposure 00:15:18 – The question researchers wanted to answer 00:15:19 – Why the rest of the neuroscience matters 00:15:34 – What do brain scans actually show when you enter nature? 00:15:49 – Continue the full episode on Patreon 00:15:52 – The four-stage neurological cascade coming next 00:16:02 – Fractal fluency and the hidden geometry of nature 00:16:07 – Nature, the brain, and depressive rumination 00:16:18 – How much nature does your brain actually need? 00:16:31 – Final thoughts and Patreon continuation Thank You to Our Sponsors Alkemis: Go to https://alkemispaint.com/ and use code DARIN10 for 10% off your order.

Your nervous system developed over hundreds of thousands of years surrounded by sunlight, wind, trees, irregular sounds, natural rhythms, and complex patterns, yet we've replaced much of that environment with walls, screens, fluorescent lights, traffic, notifications, and straight lines. Going outside isn't simply a nice thing to do when you have extra time. Nature may be one of the fundamental sensory inputs your brain has been waiting for you to put back into your life."

In 2019, there was exactly one Black member of the American Elasmobranch Society — the leading U.S. society for shark and ray researchers — out of 500. Then a single tweet during Black Birders Week changed everything. Join us as we sit down with Jasmin Graham, President and CEO of Minorities in Shark Sciences (MISS), the organization she and three other Black women scientists built from a viral tweet into a global community with members across four continents — launched just three weeks after that first message, timed deliberately for Juneteenth. Jasmin studies bonnethead sharks and the critically endangered smalltooth sawfish, one of the last "lifeboat populations" left on Earth, now facing a mysterious new spinning disease that's already claimed an estimated 80 animals in Florida. She's also the author of the memoir Sharks Don't Sink: Adventures of a Rogue Shark Scientist, which draws striking parallels between shark conservation and the fight for Black liberation. In this conversation, Jasmin shares her "scientific meet-cute" origin story, why she walked away from a traditional academic career, how local fishers and Indigenous oral histories are reshaping what scientists thought they knew about bull sharks and red tide, and what she'd tell any young woman of color who loves the ocean but isn't sure science was built for her. Whether you're drawn to marine science, representation in STEM, or just want to hear from someone whose stated goal in life is to be sharks' PR person, this episode is a reminder that the people best equipped to change a field are often the ones it wasn't built for in the first place.

Episode 305-BACK TO BASICS Also Available OnSearchable Podcast Transcript Gun Lawyer — Episode Transcript Page – 1 – of 9 Gun Lawyer — Episode 305 Transcript SUMMARY KEYWORDS Gun laws, New Jersey, Machine guns, Handguns, Rifles, Shotguns, Assault firearms, Legal exemptions, Carry permits, Firearm ID, Second Amendment, Defensive use, CDC data, Gun rights, Application errors SPEAKERS Evan Nappen, Speaker 2 Evan Nappen 00:18 I’m Evan Nappen, and welcome to Gun Lawyer. So, my cohort in crime, Teddy, will not be joining us on the show today because Teddy is a brand new daddy. That’s right, he’s a father of a beautiful baby girl, which of course makes me a grandfather. Oh my God, I can’t even believe I’m saying that. She is just cute as a button, and I’m not just saying that because it’s my granddaughter. She really is. Her name is Alianna, and we are all so excited and happy about this. I can’t even begin to tell you. But Teddy has got his hands full with his beautiful wife and his beautiful new daughter, so I will be flying solo today with you. Evan Nappen 01:17 at I want to talk about is something important for gun owners in New Jersey to know, and even outside New Jersey. And that is the basics of how New Jersey bans all guns, and then creates a legal system that essentially allows and permits possession by exemption. I think this is why the entire foundation of New Jersey gun laws can eventually be completely wiped out because it takes what is a constitutional right and just reverses how that right is supposed to work. But nonetheless, the law is something you need to understand in New Jersey. And for those who don’t live in New Jersey, you want to understand this so you don’t ever see this happen in your jurisdiction. Evan Nappen 02:18 he place to begin is under New Jersey law, under N.J.S. 2C:39-5 (Unlawful possession of weapons.). Now, the 39-5. gun laws in New Jersey are where you see basically every firearm banned. Then the exemptions get created in two ways that essentially permit limited possession. It’s really insane when you think that a constitutional right is treated in this way, but yet it is. So, let’s take a look, beginning with 39-5., 2C:39-5. Now, subsection a. is a ban on machine guns, and what it says there is that any person who knowingly has in his possession any machine gun or any instrument or device adaptable for use as a machine gun, without being licensed to do so pursuant to (2C:)58-5, is guilty of a crime of the second degree. So, the only way to possess a machine gun in New Jersey is if you have a 58-5. machine gun license, and the machine gun license historically has been an impossibility to obtain. Page – 2 – of 9 Evan Nappen 03:51 But interestingly, I think we’re going to see some serious challenges because the way New Jersey structured this law, the machine gun license required you first to get a carry permit. At the time, virtually no one could get a (New Jersey permit to) carry. Now, over 100,000 Jerseyans and non-residents do have carry permits, and the standard that you’re left with the machine gun license is quite bizarre of having to show somehow it’s in the public interest for you to have it. And that’s absolutely contrary to Bruen, but for now, the number one thing to keep in mind is the machine gun prohibition does not have any other exemptions within New Jersey law. Only this license is the exemption. And when I say no other exemption, I’m talking about for an otherwise law-abiding citizen to possess. There are exemptions for certain military, police, etc. There’s exemptions even for dealers, but we’re not focused on that. We’re focused on other normal, law-abiding, average citizens. So, forget about it for machine guns. Evan Nappen 05:02 But let’s move now to the b. section of 39-5. Now that’s one that applies to a hell of a lot of folks in New Jersey. The b. section of 39-5 is handguns. Listen to how New Jersey bans handguns. New Jersey’s law says: Handguns. Any person who knowingly has in his possession any handgun, including any antique handgun, without having first obtained a permit to carry the same as provided in (2C:)58-4., is guilty of a crime of the second degree. Let that sink in, folks. The only way you can lawfully possess a handgun, possess. We’re not even talking about carry. The only way to lawfully possess that handgun on the face of the statute that prohibits the possession of a handgun is if you have a (New Jersey) permit to carry a handgun. Evan Nappen 06:06 Now I know there are a lot of folks out there that don’t have permits to carry that simply acquired a handgun with a permit to purchase a handgun. So, how can this be? How can you lawfully possess that handgun if you don’t have a carry permit when the statute requires you to have a carry permit? And if you don’t have a carry permit, you’re guilty of unlawful possession of a handgun right on the face of the statute, which is an extraordinarily serious offense. Unlawful possession of a handgun in New Jersey is a second-degree crime. New Jersey doesn’t use the term felony. They use the term crime, but it’s the equivalent of a felony. You can think of it in that way. It carries up to 10 years in State Prison, and it has a minimum mandatory three and a half years under what is called the Graves Act. Where if you’re convicted of unlawful possession of a handgun after a trial, a judge has absolutely zero discretion and must impose at least three and a half years as a minimum component of your sentence with no ability to be paroled. You do every day of that three and a half years before you’re even eligible for parole. Evan Nappen 07:31 So, since you have to have a carry to possess it, what about everyone who doesn’t? Well, the answer to that lies in the exemptions, and we’ll get to the exemptions in a moment because we’re going to talk about exemptions. But right now, we’re just talking about the statute itself that mandates a (New Jersey) carry permit in order to legally possess a handgun. Under subsection c., is rifles and shotguns, and there it says: any person who knowingly has in his possession any rifle or shotgun without having first obtained a firearm purchaser ID card in accordance with (2C:)58-3, is guilty of a crime of the third degree. So, that makes it a third degree crime, up to five years in State Prison, if you have a shotgun or Page – 3 – of 9 rifle without a firearm ID card. The law goes further to say, unless otherwise permitted by law, any person who knowingly has in his possession any loaded rifle or shotgun is guilty of a crime in third degree. So, what about those that possess rifles or shotguns without a firearms ID card? Well, on the face of this statute, you’re looking at up to five years in State Prison. However, we’re going to discuss the exemptions, and the exemptions are critical in understanding how these possessory laws actually work. Even though the exemptions are technically a defense that you, as a law-abiding citizen, can be put to the proofs where you have to prove the defense. Evan Nappen 09:03 Then there’s subsection d. of 39-5. Subsection d. is “other weapons”, and that says: any person who knowingly has in his possession any other weapon under circumstances not manifestly appropriate for such lawful uses as it may have, is guilty of a crime of the fourth degree. So, that’s up to a year and a half in State Prison for any “other weapon”, anything that may be construed as a weapon, if it’s possessed under circumstances not manifestly appropriate for such lawful uses as it may have. Look at that vague, ridiculous language there. So, anything that can be construed to be a weapon, and then the circumstances not manifestly appropriate become subject for a jury trial. So that 12 people who aren’t smart enough to avoid jury duty get to decide whether those circumstances were manifestly appropriate or not. Isn’t that cute? And you need to further know that New Jersey case law, through Kelly and Montalvo, they found that the so-called circumstance is not manifestly appropriate for such lawful uses as it may have. In Kelly, the court specifically found that self-defense was not a manifestly appropriate lawful use. Imagine that! You cannot preemptively arm yourself with a weapon under Kelly. Self-defense doesn’t cut it. But then Kelly got modified with Montalvo. If it’s in your home, if it’s in your home and you have it for self-defense, then the court actually finally came to its senses, at least on that, and said, yeah, self-defense possession in your home is manifestly appropriate circumstances, but not outside the home. So, we still need a case that says outside the home, where you’re lawfully allowed to use self-defense, where you have a right to self-defense. That even outside the home, it’s a manifestly appropriate use for any other weapon. We’ll talk more about that one in the future. Okay, but there you go. Those are the prohibitions. Evan Nappen 11:32 Then, of course, we have the infamous subsection f., and that’s where assault firearms are banned. It says: any person who knowingly has in his possession an assault firearm is guilty of a crime of the second degree. Again, that draconian Graves Act, up to 10 years, minimum mandatory three and a half. Except if the assault firearm is licensed pursuant to (2C:)58-5. And by the way, that’s the same license as a machine gun license, which virtually no one could ever get. Or rendered inoperable, and that render inoperable period went from May of ’90 to May of ’91. And you had to do a rendered inoperable form. If you didn’t do it then, you’re out of the box. You couldn’t do it. Or if it was registered. Again, that registration period expired back in ’90. It may have ’90 to ’91 as well. So, assault firearms became prohibited with no way of making them lawful after May of ’91, unless you could somehow get an assault firearm license, which was a de facto impossibility, a de facto ban. Evan Nappen 12:52 In fact, as determined in the federal court decision Coalition versus Florio that I brought, it was determined that it was a de facto ban. So, that license is known, you know, essentially it was viewed as Page – 4 – of 9 fake in so many words. You know, yeah, good luck. Like it was just structured to be an impossibility and even recognized as such by essentially by the court. So, if you had an assault firearm, there was nothing that could be done there. Exemptions that we’re going to discuss next do not apply to assault firearms. he exemptions only apply to B, C, and D. So remember, B. is the ban on handguns unless you have a (New Jersey) carry permit. C. is a ban on rifles and shotguns unless you have a firearms ID card, and D. is a ban on “other weapons” without manifest lawful purpose. Evan Nappen 13:52 However, what the statute in 39-5 does not reference, but you need to know, is that under N.J.S. 2C:39-6, you will find an entire host of exemptions. There’s exemptions for law enforcement, military, all kinds, tons of exemptions. But the exemptions that have the most bearing to the average, law-abiding citizen, they’re found in subsection e. and subsection f. of the exemptions. Let me read you what these exemptions say. The exemptions say that nothing in subsection b., c., and d. of 39-5, so that is handguns, rifles and shotguns, and other weapons under the 39-5 ban, shall be construed to prevent a person keeping or carrying about the person’s place of business, residence, premises or other land owned or possessed by the person, any firearm, or from carrying the same, in the manner specified in subsection g., which is unloaded and in a case or in the trunk, or in a securely wrapped package, from any place of purchase to the person’s residence or place of business, between the person’s dwelling and place of business, between one place of business or residence and another when moving, or between the person’s dwelling or place of business and place where the firearms are repaired, for the purpose of repair. For the purposes of this section, a place of business shall be deemed to be a fixed location. Evan Nappen 15:42 So, subsection e. of 39-6 exempts law-abiding citizens in New Jersey for possession of handguns, rifles and shotguns, and other weapons in their home, and you do not need a (New Jersey) carry permit. You do not need a firearms ID card. You do not need to have manifest lawful purpose, so-called. As long as you are simply possessing in your home, you are exempted from those requirements under 39-5. It is a law that allows possession by exemption unless one has licenses, and if you have licenses, then you’re exempt under the face of the statute. And if you have a license and you’re within exemption, you have double protection, essentially. And the exemption under subsection e. applies to home. It applies to place of business. Now that means a business you actually own. It’s not just the place you work. It’s got to be your place of business that you own. The courts have narrowly interpreted it to mean that. Not even a place you just manage. You’ve got to be an owner. It’s got to be your business. But if it is, then you have exemption there. You’re exempted for moving between your residences while moving, etc. That’s the exemption under subsection e. Evan Nappen 17:22 Then there’s an exemption under subsection f., and f. again exempts b., c., and d. of 39-5; handguns, rifles and shotguns, and other weapons under 39-5. ere the exemptions say that those prohibitions shall not apply to any member of a rifle or pistol club organized in accordance with the rules prescribed by the National Board for Promotion of Rifle Practice, in going to or from a place of target practice, carrying firearms necessary for target practice, provided the club has filed a copy of its charter with the superintendent and annually submits its list of members to the superintendent, and provided further that Page – 5 – of 9 the firearms are carried in a manner specified in subsection g., which is, of course, cased and unloaded. Evan Nappen 18:08 Here’s another exemption under f. under subsection (2). A person carrying a firearm or knife in the woods or fields, or upon the waters of the state for the purpose of hunting, target practice, or fishing, provided that the firearm is or knife is legal and appropriate for hunting and fishing purposes in the state, and the person has in the person’s possession a valid hunting license, or with respect to freshwater fishing, a valid fishing license. Number three, a person transporting any firearm or knife while traveling directly to or from place for purpose of hunting, fishing, provided you have a valid license, or directly to or from the target range, or other authorized place, for the purpose of practice match target trap skeet shooting expeditions. Provided during that whole time you’re transporting, you’re transporting pursuant to subsection g. Evan Nappen 19:18 So, the takeaway here is how New Jersey bans essentially all guns, and how the matrix is set up so that there are exemptions. Exemptions that we’ve just talked about. But keep in mind that the exemptions are a defense. The burden becomes on the defendant to have to prove that you’re within those exemptions. Otherwise you see bans. Bans that have only exemptions by way of licensing, unless you fall within those specific statutory exemptions. I think that structure is frankly disgusting as to how a constitutional right is and has been treated by New Jersey. But because of that structure, I also believe that we have a fantastic opportunity now as we see the empowerment of the Second Amendment to finally take out and take down the very foundation of New Jersey’s oppressive gun laws. Evan Nappen 20:36 By the way, I want to give you just a little heads up about a threat that is apparently lurking. This is weird and odd. I can’t hammer it down any more than what I’m going to tell you right now. But the news aggregate source called the Daily Caller, some of you may be aware of it, had an article that says “Anti-2A Group Plots New Gun Ban in New Jersey”. (https://dailycaller.com/2026/08/26/anti-2a-group-plots-new-gun-ban-in-blue-state/) This is August 26, 2026, by Harold Hutchison, who is a Second Amendment reporter that says the gun-control organization March for Our Lives, that’s the group headed up by that A one a hole of David Hogg. His group sent out an email fundraiser announcing plans to pass a weapons ban in New Jersey. And reading this is just bizarro. Remember Hogg has made his entire life and career over being a perpetual victim from the Parkland atrocity, and he’s an insane Left wing activist. By the way, if you’ve ever seen the stuff that he puts out. But anyway, this group uses this term “weapons of war”, “weapons of war”, and says, “The proposed weapons ban in New Jersey is a vital step toward getting weapons off our streets and protecting our neighborhoods from preventable tragedy.” This is a fundraiser being done by this group. Evan Nappen 22:49 When you look at the actual screenshot here from March for Our Lives, here’s what this screenshot says. From March for Our Lives. “We’re bumping this to the top of your inbox because we have a genuine, high-impact opportunity to push real gun safety forward — and we can’t afford to miss it. Right now, New Jersey lawmakers have a chance to pass critical legislation banning weapons of war from Page – 6 – of 9 our communities. When our generation first marched in 2018, people told us we were just angry kids who didn’t understand how politics worked. But together, we’ve proved that hope isn’t just a feeling — it’s an action.” And then it goes on to say, “From helping establish first-ever White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention to passing landmark federal legislation, we’ve seen what happens when young people organize and demand a better future. Passing this weapons ban in New Jersey isn’t just about one state — it sets a benchmark for the entire nation and proves that progress is unstoppable when we stand together.” Then it all says, “Will you take 10 seconds to add your name and show support for the NJ weapons ban today?” Evan Nappen 24:19 Okay. I’ve got to tell you, folks. I have no clue what the hell they’re talking about. First of all, New Jersey already has the most egregious assault firearm ban on the books and that has just taken a death punch by the Third Circuit Court of Appeals en banc with the magnificent decision wiping it out under the Second Amendment with both mags and guns. Now, granted, it is stayed at the moment because the Supreme Court has also taken up this issue. But what the hell are they talking about? New Jersey’s law is on its deathbed. It’s on life support, barely. Soon to die, and they’re talking about legislators in New Jersey promoting some weapons ban that they’re fundraising on. This is either complete fraud, which who knows with those people, or absolute mistake that they’ve confused states, I guess. Or maybe, just maybe, something else is cooking up in the New Jersey legislature. Maybe they’re tipped off to it, and I can’t find it anywhere. Maybe they’re going to try doing a kicking and screaming routine, just like they did after Bruen permitted carry and made it so New Jersey had to issue carry permits. And maybe now we’re going to see some evil plan after New Jersey’s assault firearm law bites the dust. So, this is maybe a load of B.S. nonsense. But then again, maybe it’s something out there, and we should be ready. hey may be trying to pull another Carry Killeresque maneuver on us. I don’t know, but stay tuned. As soon as we hear about anything that we can pin down, we’ll be sure in letting you know about it on the show. Evan Nappen 26:36 Hey, I want to tell you about our good friends at WeShoot. WeShoot is an indoor range in Lakewood, New Jersey. It’s the range where Teddy and I shoot, and where we train. You’ll love it at WeShoot. It is the greatest range in New Jersey. We just can’t get enough of WeShoot. I know you will really appreciate having a tremendous resource right there in Lakewood, where you can get your training, get your certificates, practice, have state-of-the-art range facilities, a great pro shop, awesome deals on guns and gear. As a matter of fact, they are offering, as we speak, the Canik Mete MC9LS, which is the 2026 Signature Series called “Drip”. It’s pretty cool. You’ve got to see the graphics on the Drip. They also have a Mossberg Silver Reserve Field. Now this is Mossberg’s over and under, very cool, and it’s a great way to get into an over and under shotgun. They also have Precision Firearms, PF15F. That’s your AR-type platform right there at WeShoot. You can go there, check out these guns and so many others. They’re also running their great programs. They have their range safety officers.

I have always admired just the unbelievably great professionalism, courtesy, just the way they Page – 7 – of 9 treat their customers. You will be treated like gold at WeShoot. WeShoot is the best. o to WeShootUSA.com. Evan Nappen 29:22 Hey, I also want to not only shamelessly plug my book, which is New Jersey Gun Law, the Bible of Jersey Gun Law. The indispensable guidebook to helping you navigate New Jersey’s insane matrix of gun laws. It’s all set up in a question and answer format. I also want folks to know that the DOJ has opened up the Federal Relief from Disabilities Program. I’ve been waiting 33 years to be able to do this again, and that is be able to get people’s gun rights restored. That have had federal firearm prohibitors. This will restore your federal gun rights, and it is great. We really owe it to the Trump administration for reopening this program that was killed in ’93 by Chuck Schumer. For 33 years, people have been unable to regain their Second Amendment rights under federal law, if they had prohibitors. o, if you or anyone you know might be eligible, go to my website, go to EvanNappen.com. You can buy my book there. You can also read about the federal relief from disabilities. This is very hot, big stuff going on because the online portal is going to open shortly, and you want to be ready. You want to have counsel, and there’s a lot that has to get done so that we can get you in. They’re talking about probably a million people needing to get their rights restored, and it’s going to be quite a logjam. So, the sooner you’re in, the sooner you can get your rights back. I’d highly, highly recommend taking action and checking it out. Go to evannappen.com, and I’ll be happy to speak to you about your specific situation and if it’s applicable for you. Evan Nappen 31:40 Hey, I have some good news, and the good news is that the CDC, you know, the CDC, who’s currently headed by Robert Kennedy, and CDC that is now under the Trump administration. Well, guess what they did, folks? They restored defensive gun use data after Biden scrubbed it and covered it up because they didn’t want that really great important information being out there about how many lives guns save, so the corrupt Biden administration just said we’re not going to talk about it. We’re going to wipe it out. We’re not going to put that out there anymore. We’re only going to talk about guns are bad, and not ever talk about why guns are good. Well, it’s a new day. It’s a new administration, and that information has now been put back. I’m talking about an article here from Ammo and. (https://www.ammoland.com/2026/08/cdc-restores-defensive-gun-use-data/?utm_source=Ammoland+Subscribers&utm_campaign=b4aea4936c-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_6f6fac3eaa-b4aea4936c-21268623) Evan Nappen 32:56 We love AmmoLand, and this article is by John Crump, who is also one of my favorite authors at AmmoLand. John says that under the Biden administration they had removed the data, and the studies have shown that guns were used in self-defense between 60,000 times and 2.5 million times each year. Think about that, folks. 60,000 to 2.5 million times each year, guns are used in self-defense. So, even at the low range, that dwarfs the number of guns used in murders, which is approximately 15,000. Okay, dwarfs it at the lowest numbers. It approaches or exceeds the total number of gun deaths per year, which is around 40,000, according to Pew. The wide range of estimates is because of different methodologies used. So, the lower figure is drawn on the National Crime Victimization Survey, while the higher figures primarily stem from surveys conducted by criminologist Gary Kleck in the 1990s. Page – 8 – of 9 Evan Nappen 34:41 Now, a National Academies of Sciences report commissioned by the CDC itself in 2013, this is a CDC commission study. Referenced this range of 60,000 to 2.5 million defensive gun uses annually. But in 2022, with pressure from anti-gun groups such as the Gun Violence Archive, the Newtown Action Alliance, and GVPedia, in a private meeting, the CDC scrubbed the website of defensive gun use information. Through a Freedom of Information Act, they revealed that the removal was purely political, folks, and this is all according to emails that Senator Grassley obtained. One of these things here argued, and this is quoting from that email in the article by Mr. Crump, and it says. Get a load of this. This is from the antis here. “That 2.5 million number needs to be killed, buried, dug up, killed again, and buried again.” Mark Bryant, executive director of Gun Violence Archives, wrote to the CDC in one of his emails. See that? They don’t like it, man, when you’re showing that guns save lives. We can’t have truth out there. We can’t have the actual information about how people don’t want to be victims but would prefer to be defenders and live. Right? That’s Biden’s administration for you. That’s the corrupt, evil Biden administration for you, removing that information. Trump and his administration have put that data back public so you can see it and you can read it. Keep in mind that’s the CDC removing specific numeral range and the link from their own research, folks. But now, under Trump and Secretary Kennedy, the CDC is returning the statistics to its firearm injury and death page. The restored language again makes it clear, points it out that defensive gun use varies by studies, and it ranges from 60,000 to 2.5 million per year. That is awesome, and that information belongs out there. Evan Nappen 37:43 Hey, let me tell you about this week’s GOFU. GOFUs, as you know, are Gun Owner Fuck Ups. It’s where gun owners make expensive mistakes, real mistakes that I hear about and try to help them. But it’s a chance where you can avoid them for free, and this week’s GOFU has to do with references on your gun application. When you need references, please clear your references in advance. Make sure your references know you’re going to use them as a reference. I’ll tell you, we may have mentioned this before in the past, but it can’t hurt to mention it again. They’re going to get an email requesting to know how long they’ve known you and whether they have any issues with you owning guns. I get cases where people don’t bother to clear it, don’t realize the person is anti-gun and doesn’t think anyone should have a gun, or has some problem being a reference. You don’t want to have that problem. Evan Nappen 38:48 Yet recently, I’ve heard of even a worse problem, and this one is just mind-boggling. I’m still going to put it out there as a GOFU for folks because don’t ever do this. Don’t make up false references. Yeah, I’m not kidding. Do not fill out a gun application with fake references. I can’t believe I even have to say this. But do not fill out a gun application and make up phony references because your phony references are going to be contacted, and that’s called falsification of the application. It’s a crime to do that. Third degree. You’re looking at five years in State Prison. Plus, it’s really stupid, and you’ll get denied your gun license. I mean, okay, do you have to write that one down? Not to put fake references on your application? I hope not, but it’s a GOFU. Make sure you’re good about your references and clear them in advance. Only put real ones down, folks. Page – 9 – of 9 Evan Nappen 39:54 This is Evan Nappen reminding you that gun laws don’t protect honest citizens from criminals.

Unwelcome Shores: Black Refugees in America (Rutgers University Press, 2025) is an ethnographic study of the Liberian refugee community in Staten Island, New York, home to the largest per capita concentration of Liberians in the U.S., that sheds light on the racialization of Black refugees and the racism they have experienced at every step of their migration journey. In this pioneering study, sociologist Bernadette Ludwig explores how Liberians have responded to such racist exclusions, noting how members of this community reject the informal refugee label once they are resettled in the United States. Liberian migrants often view the label as a liability since the larger general public, the media, and the U.S. government tend to regard Black refugees as an economic and social burden unworthy of assistance. Indeed, Black refugees' humanity is often ignored, Ludwig contends, in favor of overemphasizing presumed barbaric violence, endemic wars, cultural backwardness, and diseases. By detailing the lack of aid and support for Black refugees and describing how Liberian refugees in particular have had to overcome various struggles and barriers in coming to the U.S. and while living here, Unwelcome Shores highlights the overarching role of race and anti-Black racism in American society. Dr. Bernadette Ludwig is a Sociologist and the Assistant Dean of the Macricostas School of Arts and Sciences at Western Connecticut State University. She is also an Affiliated Faculty with The New School's Zolberg Institute on Migration & Mobility.  Host: Michael L. Rosino is Assistant Professor of Sociology at Molloy University, studying racial politics, media, and democracy. His most recent book, Democracy Is Awkward: Grappling with Racism Inside Grassroots Political Organizing, is now available with the University of North Carolina Press.

“Hitler had to abolish democracy to take over Berlin.” — Wendy Lesser “Ich bin ein Berliner” (I Am a Berliner), JFK famously said in West Berlin on June 26, 1963, in the face of Soviet imperial tyranny. Today, Wendy Lesser is offering the same defiance in her new book Berlin Before and After. Only Lesser offers a cautionary mirror for our times of not just post-Soviet Putin but also wannabe-tyrants like Trump. Lesser's loving portrait of Berlin is of a free city. She reminds us that even in Germany's darkest hour, Berlin never actually went Nazi. The city voted left up to and including 1933, so Hitler had to abolish democracy to take it over. Nor, Lesser argues, was Nazism a reaction to Weimar Berlin's Cabaret-style nightlife, any more than Trump is a reaction to wokeness. Economic forces, not cultural ones, she insists, enable dictators. Today's Berlin, as a city that memorializes its own crimes, offers America an urban lesson in acknowledging historical guilt. That's what makes Berlin such a defiant beacon of freedom in our authoritarian age. There are more urbane cities than Berlin, but none quite as dedicated to freedom. Go there and/or read Berlin Before and After. Today we should all be Berliners. Five Takeaways •       Our Own 1929 — or 1932? The book began as a love letter to the Berlin Lesser adopted in 2003 — the everywhere writer of Berkeley, New York, and Berlin, against Lampedusa the ultimate somewhere, who never left Sicily and carried Shakespeare through the coffee houses of Palermo. But as she wrote, America's condition worsened: “We were not only in our own 1929, but perhaps in 1930, '31, or even '32 — verging on our own descent into frightening dictatorship.” Hence the subtitle's cautionary mirror — though history, she insists, never exactly repeats itself, and the American analogies came unforced, surfacing every thirty or forty pages without hammering. Being an everywhere, she says, doesn't make you write better — Lampedusa proves that — “but it improves your life,” and it gave her the subjects her native California never could.•       Berlin Never Went Nazi. The episode's revelation: the city of Weimar flamboyance never gave the Nazis a majority — Berlin voted left up to and including 1933, and “Hitler had to abolish democracy to take over Berlin.” From which follows her sharpest argument: Nazism was not a backlash against Berlin's sexual and artistic freedoms, “just as I do not see the election of Trump as a reaction to so-called wokeness or trans rights. Cultural manifestations do not cause such government changes. Economic forces do” — wealth gaps, regional deprivation, the east feeling second-class, then and now (the AfD's heartland). The direct equivalences are rhetorical: America's poisoned-blood language on immigrants comes “straight from the Goebbels playbook,” and the rights that flowered in twenties Germany were “instantly squished” in the thirties. As for today: the AfD polls high before Berlin's September city elections, but the firewall holds — and the party is formally flagged by German intelligence as constitutionally dangerous. Andrew's question stands: any vaccines for this thing?•       1929: The Year Everything Premiered. Why that year: Grosz, Sander, and Otto Dix at their peak; Brecht and Piscator both premiering; All Quiet on the Western Front, the underrated Grand Hotel, and Berlin Alexanderplatz in the bookshops — plus Thomas Mann's Mario and the Magician, the novella that predicted fascism; Billy Wilder still a weekly-paper journalist shooting his first film; and Christopher Isherwood arriving on the first visit that became Goodbye to Berlin and, via Broadway, Cabaret. “Only in retrospect do we see these things as major.” The culture flourished beside economic and political chaos — “having a terrible government is not inconsistent with producing good culture. Look at nineteenth-century Russia” — and when the chaos won, the exiles washed up in the German ghetto of Los Angeles: Brecht (on the beach, per this week's Baerwald episode), Döblin, Mann. Many went back — Brecht in 1949, Piscator after — because in Hollywood and New York they “couldn't live on the thin slice of culture,” a homesickness Lesser saw again in Berkeley's own Czesław Miłosz, watching Americans like children playing in a sandbox.•       After Means 1989. The title's twist: the After is not the Nazis' arrival but the Wall's fall. The dark half-century — twelve years of Reich, then “with barely a pause to take a breath” the divided city — is deliberately skipped: “the city is going to tell you what happened,” through what its monuments confess, like Bebelplatz's memorial to the burned books of May 1933. Berlin now wears its freedom knowingly: graffiti flourishes precisely because speech was twice policed; May Day's bottle-throwing is tolerated and swept up; Freiheit arrives like the choral finale of Beethoven's Ninth — Andrew's analogy, which she embraced with irony, since “nobody is totally free these days.” The Wall's hothouse island remains separate from Germany half a century on. And the city stays cinematic to the point of unreality — Wings of Desire's angels in the actual Staatsbibliothek (“I thought it was just a set”), Babylon Berlin's set-choosers clearing away the present — with a thriller shelf to match: Deighton's Berlin Game (freshly reread on his death), le Carré's Spy Who Came in from the Cold, Herron, McEwan, Schneider's Wall Jumper.•       A Mirror That Might Become Useful. Berlin's deepest lesson is for after the fall: it is the city that acknowledges its bad deeds — monuments and plaques saying this is where we did it — while America “likes to brush it all aside and act like we're always the heroes.” Andrew's pushback landed: Montgomery, Bryan Stevenson's lynching memorial, the African American Museum — “You're right. I'm not being fair.” But the qualification sharpens rather than sinks the thesis: “we do not have a history yet like Holocaust Germany or even Berlin Wall Germany… It's a mirror that might become useful if the worst comes about.” Meanwhile Berlin models the livable city: rent control the voters wanted to push all the way to expropriation, transit worth “ecstasies,” and a constitutional welfare clause promising a dignified existence — economic rights our Bill of Rights never mentions. The book ends aboard the M29 bus, top deck, regular fare, from the Maybachufer's twice-weekly market (running since before 1929) across the old West to Grunewald. “Maybe you're going to be made into a Berlin angel.” “A great fate.” About the Guest Wendy Lesser is the founding editor of The Threepenny Review, the celebrated Berkeley literary quarterly, and the author of a novel and twelve works of nonfiction, including You Say to Brick: The Life of Louis Kahn (winner of the Marfield Prize), Why I Read, and Scandinavian Noir.

Cette semaine, j'ai l'immense privilège d'échanger avec Claudie Haigneré.Médecin, chercheuse, première femme française et européenne à avoir voyagé dans l'espace (à deux reprises !), Ministre de la Recherche puis Ministre des Affaires Européennes, Claudie avance guidée par le désir de mettre sa connaissance, sa curiosité et son engagement au service du collectif.A épisode exceptionnel, durée exceptionnelle. Cet épisode est coupé en deux parties, tant il y avait à dire. Après une première partie très personnelle où Claudie est revenu sur son parcours et son expérience exceptionnelle dans l'espace, nous nous attardons dans cette deuxième partie sur les bouleversements et les enjeux majeurs du spatial aujourd'hui. Avant de préparer cet épisode, je n'avais pas conscience de la transformation brutale et profonde qui se jouait depuis quelques années dans l'Espace. Et a quel point cela impactait notre avenir.Hier domaine institutionnel et coopératif, l'espace est devenu depuis quelques années le nouveau terrain de jeu de quelques puissances et géants privés.- Aujourd'hui, des milliers de satellites sont envoyés par Starlink, avec la possibilité donnée à un acteur privé de choisir qui reçoit Internet.- Les projets de data centers spatiaux promettent de repousser nos propres limites énergétiques et écologiques, faisant miroiter une humanité qu'aucune limite planétaire ne vient entraver.- Le Traité de l'Espace de 1967 qui définissait l'espace comme un bien commun de l'humanité semble dater d'un autre monde. Cette nouvelle ère de la conquête spatiale est menée tambour battant. Reste une question fondammentale : à quel prix et au service de qui ?Le regard de Claudie Haigneré sur ces sujets est exceptionnel d'intelligence. Claudie nous rappelle qu'il est essentiel de :- Préserver l'espace comme bien commun  : derrière les milliers de satellites privés qui saturent l'orbite basse, Claudie rappelle la nécessité d'une régulation internationale ambitieuse, permettant de défendre le principe de zéro déchet en orbite, de garantir la neutralité et l'accès pour tous, d'imposer une responsabilité aux industriels et aux États.- Refuser la fuite en avant technologique : l'envoi de data centers dans l'espace ou la multiplication des méga-constellations ne peut pas être un prétexte pour contourner les limites de la Terre. Tout commence par le fait d'accepter et nommer la finitude de notre planète comme une donnée inamovible, non comme une prison mais comme une boussole. Il faut assumer ces limites et intégrer la lucidité et l'éthique à chacun de nos choix.- Redonner du sens au projet européen : l'Europe porte une autre idée de l'espace : coopération scientifique, données ouvertes, priorité à la connaissance et à la compréhension, défense du multilatéralisme. Les missions spatiales européennes sont à la pointe sur le climat, la compréhension de l'univers, la modélisation des systèmes vivants. A nous de nous battre pour faire entendre la vision de l'Europe et faire de l'aventure spatiale européenne un élément fédérateur du projet Européen.Cette discussion m'a passionnée. On aborde toutes ces questions avec une simplicité déconcertante et une conviction ancrée qu'on peut marier rigueur scientifique et éthique, progrès scientifiques et humanisme.

What does it take to bring a seabird back from the brink—and can we keep it there? We travel from a rocky island of Maine to a tiny restored island in coastal Louisiana to learn the astonishing comeback stories of two beloved birds, puffins and pelicans. This is a hopeful story about how innovative ideas can save wildlife — and asks whether that's enough in a rapidly changing world.CREDITSThis episode was reported by Katelyn Harrop and Michael McEwan and hosted by Executive Producer Carlyle Calhoun. Eve Abrams edited the pelicans story. The puffins story was edited by Carlyle Calhoun. The episode was fact-checked by Philip Kiefer with help from Shruti Gautam. Sound design by Rebecca Nolan and our theme music is by Jon Batiste. Sea Change is made possible with major support from the Gulf Research Program of the National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.

Il y a des expériences qui changent la façon dont on voit le monde. Littéralement.Claudie Haigneré est l'une des rares personnes sur Terre à avoir regardé notre planète depuis l'espace. Première femme française astronaute, elle a vécu ce moment où le corps ne pèse plus rien, où l'on n'est plus qu'un regard, et où l'on comprend d'un seul coup, viscéralement, ce qu'on risque de perdre. Elle s'est émerveillée de la beauté et de la fragilité de la terre flottant dans l'espace, prenant soudainement conscience de notre responsabilité de protéger le miracle de la vie sur terre.Dans cet extrait, elle raconte son enfance, le moment où elle a vu Neils Amstrong poser un pied sur la lune, son rêve de marcher dans ses pas, ses études de médecine... et l'annonce du CNES qui recrutait des médecins pour ses prochains vols.Et elle pose une question qui traverse tout l'épisode de demain : si nous sommes l'équipage de la planète Terre, comment prendre soin de notre maison commune ?Réponse ce jeudi matin, sur toutes vos plateformes d'écoute.Demain N'attend Pas est un podcast indépendant créé et animé par Delphine Darmon.Toutes les 2 semaines, j'échange avec des personnalités inspirantes pour questionner les récits qui façonnent notre monde, et ouvrir des pistes concrètes de futurs plus désirables.

The same mathematics that explains why a fridge magnet sticks to your refrigerator also explains why neural networks work when they have no right to. His group did the calculation. Nobody else had. Subscribe if you want science with evidence, not speculation. Goldenfeld is a Professor of Physics at UC San Diego, a Fellow of the Royal Society, and a Member of the National Academy of Sciences who spent 36 years at the University of Illinois applying condensed matter physics to problems everyone else had given up on: why the genetic code is optimal, why early life evolved impossibly fast, and why AI works despite being overparameterized beyond anything classical statistics can explain. The thread connecting all three is one idea: that what emerges from many things together is qualitatively different from the sum of its parts. That idea explains magnetism, AI, the origin of the genetic code, and why life may be inevitable wherever the laws of physics apply. He also argues that what is happening to science right now is not a disagreement about facts but a fracture in how people decide what is true, and that is a more dangerous problem. What you'll hear: -Why the same phase transition that explains magnetism also explains why AI works at all -Why Francis Crick concluded life must have come from outer space and what Goldenfeld found instead -What horizontal gene transfer has to do with how libraries work -Why Goldenfeld thinks Enceladus is a better bet for life than Europa -The purpose of life, stated as a thermodynamics problem -Why “different is more” is more useful than “more is different” “The impact you make is the ratio of what you do divided by what everybody else does.
