Edition No197 | 22-07-2025 - Putin is tightening the digital noose in Russia, as the crackdown on the internet intensifies. We explore What It Signals in this episode. The Kremlin isn't just at war with Ukraine — it's at war with its own population, and the internet itself. Connectivity blackouts are plaguing regions of Russia, and now spyware is being installed on every internet capable device. The Victory Day disconnections of internet coverage were just a foretaste of the censorship and control that is rapidly approaching. The edges are emerging of what promises to be a terrifying blueprint for new a “digital gulag.” But this isn't just about censorship. It's about what Russia might be preparing for next — why the regime has such a sense of urgency to gain control of the Russian internet, and what that means for Ukraine and for the rest of us.----------DESCRIPTION:Putin's Digital Gulag: Why Russia is Shutting Down its InternetIn this episode of Silicon Bites, we delve into Vladimir Putin's aggressive efforts to control and restrict internet access in Russia. We explore the Kremlin's increasing crackdown on digital freedom and what it means for Russia's population, the ongoing conflict with Ukraine, and potential geopolitical ramifications. Key points include the intensification of censorship, the spread of spyware on consumer devices, and the Kremlin's urgency to isolate the Russian internet by autumn 2025. We also discuss possible reasons behind this rapid digital suppression including further mobilization, preparing for war with NATO, economic collapse, or autocratic whims. Discover how these unprecedented moves might signify a strategy to escalate the war or manage looming internal and external crises.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction: Putin's Attempt to Break the Internet00:30 The Digital Noose Tightens01:26 The Big Digital Squeeze03:00 Technical Details of the Crackdown04:24 Spyware and the Digital Gulag05:52 Hypotheses Behind the Crackdown10:10 The Autumn Trap: Why Now?11:39 Conclusion: The Global Implications----------SOURCES: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cx3hF3Yk2rYhttps://jamestown.org/program/russia-ramps-up-internet-censorship/https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-cut-internet-access-victory-day-ukraine-drone-strikes-putin-2025-5https://www.thetimes.com/world/russia-ukraine-war/article/putin-moscow-whatsapp-ban-plan-max-app-launch-b789tt6tshttps://united24media.com/latest-news/putins-new-orders-could-reshape-russian-internet-heres-whats-next-10019https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/russia-kremlin-instagram-atms-ukraine-b2791385.htmlhttps://meduza.io/en/feature/2025/07/07/mapping-russia-s-internet-blackoutshttps://www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/07/01/russia-to-disconnect-foreigners-who-have-not-submitted-biometric-data-from-mobile-internet-a89635https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/07/17/russia-internet-censorship/https://www.kyivpost.com/post/56473https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-03/russian-internet-outages-soar-as-kremlin-boosts-wartime-controls----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Let's talk about the challenges of navigating disapproval and emotional reactions in relationships. You'll learn about differentiation — maintaining one's identity while being in a relationship — and hear about ways to manage emotional responses. We'll look at the significance of self-respect, personal growth, and keeping the courage to stand firm in your truth, even when faced with someone else's discontent. Key Takeaways: Healing from infidelity involves becoming your truest self. Disapproval can trigger deep-seated fears of rejection. Differentiation means staying true to yourself in relationships. Emotional reactions should be managed before responding. It's okay to feel sad when others are upset with you. Self-awareness is crucial for personal growth. Supporting yourself is not selfish; it's courageous. You can hold space for others' feelings without losing yourself. Grief for the current situation is different from guilt. Trusting yourself leads to healthier relationships.

Today, Jess, Les, and Amy unpack the implications of the U.S. shutting down Voice of America and scaling back support for Radio Free Europe—two longtime tools of American public diplomacy. As funding dries up and staff are furloughed, adversaries like China, Russia, and Iran are moving to fill the vacuum in the global information space.Is the U.S. be ceding ground in the global competition for soft power? How should the U.S. modernize its messaging tools to meet today's information challenges? What are the risks if rivals like China and Russia shape the narrative where the U.S. voice goes silent?Check out the answers to these questions and more in this episode of Fault Lines.Check out the sources that helped shape our Fellows' discussions: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/business/media/us-china-russia-global-communications.html?searchResultPosition=12https://www.npr.org/2025/05/21/g-s1-68363/trump-tried-to-shutter-radio-free-europe-the-eu-threw-it-a-lifeline Follow our experts on Twitter: @NotTVJessJones@lestermunson @amykmitchellLike what we're doing here?

If you're trying to make something work or make it better. It doesn't matter the situation, shutting down is never the way to fix anything! You can't solve anything by not talking/communicating. Many people shutdown because it's what they've become comfortable with, but it only makes things worse. Some people shut down becasue they've lost their voice, which is wrong too!

Sasha Plavsic, Founder of ILIA Beauty, the clean cosmetics brand known for redefining performance makeup, opens up about what it took to build a $100M business from a garage and a $25,000 line of credit. In this raw and vulnerable conversation, Sasha shares how a deeply personal quest to heal her skin led to the creation of ILIA, a brand that went on to help define the "clean beauty" category alongside industry giants like Sephora. But behind the brand's success story lies an untold reality of burnout, identity loss, and a literal health collapse that forced her to reckon with the cost of carrying it all. From almost closing ILIA's doors to hiring a CEO and eventually selling a majority stake to the Courtin-Clarins family, Sasha walks us through the most defining and difficult moments of her journey.  Whether you're bootstrapping your first venture or navigating scale, Sasha's story is a powerful reminder that success should never come at the cost of your health or your joy.   Key Takeaways and Topics: How Sasha built ILIA Beauty from a garage with no outside funding for the first 7 years The personal skin struggles that led her to question conventional beauty products Why she rejected the “all natural” label and pioneered a hybrid formulation model Early setbacks, including being told labs couldn't make the products she envisioned The pivotal moment she considered shutting ILIA down—and what saved it The decision to hire a CEO and why it was the best move for the brand and her health How ILIA scaled from $5M to $100M, eventually catching the eye of the Courtin-Clarins family The physical collapse that forced Sasha to finally slow down—her kidneys started shutting down How hustle culture and perfectionism nearly cost her life, and what she's doing differently now The guilt and double standards faced by working mothers and women founders How Sasha protects her energy today: boundaries, executive coaching, and saying “no” Her advice to founders: trust your gut, delegate what drains you, and stop trying to do it all   The Failure Factor Podcast was brought to you by Off The Field Coaching.

https://teachhoops.com/ Our main focus is on the defensive fundamentals needed to deny the give and go. We outline three key principles: Jump to the Ball: As soon as the ball is passed, defenders must jump in the direction of the pass to close off passing lanes and disrupt offensive movement. Force the Offensive Player Behind You: This involves positioning oneself to ensure the offensive player cannot cut in front, effectively using the body to maintain defensive dominance. Refuse to Get Front Cut: Defenders must prevent offensive players from cutting in front of them, maintaining a strong position to deny easy baskets. We then illustrate these principles through three progressive drills: Basic Denial Drill: This drill involves an offensive player at the top, a defender, and another player or coach on the wing. The goal is to prevent the offensive player from receiving a return pass by jumping to the ball and forcing the player to cut behind the defender. Progressive Denial Drill: Building on the first drill, this exercise has the offensive player circling out to the opposite wing after attempting the front cut. The defender must maintain their position and be ready to close out on the ball once it's skipped to the opposite side. Complex Denial Drill: This drill adds an additional offensive and defensive player, allowing practice of both individual and team defensive concepts. It involves denying the initial front cut, rotating to deny the pass back to the top, and then closing out on the skip pass. Throughout these drills, we emphasize the importance of vocal and physical pressure, using commands like "dead, dead, dead" to reinforce defensive intensity. These drills not only teach fundamental defensive techniques but also help in developing a cohesive team defense. By mastering these jump ball progression drills, coaches can significantly enhance their team's defensive capabilities, ensuring they are well-prepared to counteract common offensive plays.

David Zweig's new book An Abundance of Caution (MIT Press) is an account of the decision-making process behind the extended closures of public schools during the pandemic. In fascinating and meticulously reported detail, Zweig shows how some of the most trusted members of society—from Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists to eminent health officials—repeatedly made fundamental errors in their assessment and presentation of evidence. By fall 2020, many students in Europe were already back in classrooms—and so were their peers in private schools in America and in public schools across mostly “red” states and districts. Yet millions of other children across the U.S. remained under extended school closures. Whatever inequities that existed among American children before the pandemic, the selective school closures exacerbated them, disproportionately affecting the underprivileged. Deep mental, physical, and academic harms—among them, depression, anxiety, abuse, obesity, plummeting test scores, and rising drop-out rates—were endured for no discernible benefit. The story of American schools during the pandemic serves as a prism through which to approach fundamental questions about why and how individuals, bureaucracies, governments, and societies act as they do in times of crisis and uncertainty. Ultimately, this book is not about COVID; it's about being ill-equipped to make decisions under duress. David Zweig is a writer, lecturer, and journalist. His writing has appeared in The Atlantic, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Free Press, and his newsletter, Silent Lunch. He is the author of Invisibles, about the power of embracing anonymous work in a culture obsessed with praise and recognition. His new book is An Abundance of Caution: American Schools, the Virus, and a Story of Bad Decisions.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, a Republican congresswoman pushed for proxy voting for pregnant women, but the vast majority of Republicans don't believe in proxy voting. Show up or don't vote. 9 Republicans got upset and voted with Democrats, which canceled votes for the week. A tiny minority shouldn't be able to derail President Trump's priorities. We can't have this constant blackmail. They have a budget bill to pass, and they need to get massive tax cuts in place. The key to economic growth in an environment like this is tax cuts - big, broad, tax cuts.  It's the only way to either prevent or limit the life of a recession.  The Democrats drove the economy into hyperinflation by printing paper.  Tax cuts don't print anything, they actually create real, earned, tangible wealth. It's money created by the private sector for the private sector, not the bloated, corrupt government and its fraudulent spending.  Any Republican who slows or opposes huge across-the-board tax cuts is a fool.  Pass the Trump tax cuts and do it as fast as possible! Also, Wisconsin and Florida have special elections today. Randy Fine wins in the 6th Congressional District in Florida. Jimmy Patronis wins in the 1st Congressional District in Florida. Those are 2 big wins for Florida and the country. If the liberal judge wins in Wisconsin, it will effectively become a one-party state. Later, China's threats to Taiwan mean we should arm Taiwan with missiles to strike back, not just defend. Taiwan must be ready, learning from Ukraine and Israel, to hit the enemy effectively. Afterward, judicial tyranny continues -  these judges are being used as weapons to threaten and stop President Trump. Trump and Elon Musk are doing the absolute best that they can to fix the country, and they are calling him a dictator. How is he a dictator? How many dictators reduce the amount of people who work for him?  Finally, Dina and Dave McCormick call in to discuss their new book - Who Believed in You: How Purposeful Mentorship Changes the World.
