Today's Headlines: New Mexico has approved a bipartisan “truth commission” to investigate alleged sexual abuse and trafficking at Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch near Santa Fe. The commission will have subpoena power, a $2 million budget funded by a Deutsche Bank settlement, and will operate through 2026. Meanwhile, Epstein's former benefactor Les Wexner is set to testify before the House Oversight Committee behind closed doors at his Ohio home. Early voting is underway in Texas' Senate primaries after late-night host Stephen Colbert said CBS forced him to cancel an interview with Democratic candidate James Talarico following FCC guidance on political airtime. In media shakeups, Anderson Cooper is leaving CBS' 60 Minutes, and independent journalist Georgia Fort pleaded not guilty to federal felony charges tied to covering an anti-ICE protest. On the corporate front, Warner Bros. Discovery reopened talks with Paramount over a $77.9 billion acquisition bid as Netflix circles with a competing offer. The Trump administration is reportedly reviewing its relationship with AI company Anthropic after questions about military use of its Claude model, while Palantir sued Swiss outlet Republik over an investigative report. Meta is facing scrutiny over AI chatbot safety for minors and a patent for AI systems that simulate deceased users. EU regulators are investigating Shein under the Digital Services Act, and the Trump administration has spent at least $40 million deporting migrants to third countries, including Cameroon.

What's in a name? More specifically, what is a name worth? Gerald Genta, likely the most famous watch designer in history and responsible for conjuring iconic models from the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, the Patek Philippe Nautilus, the IWC Ingenieur, and the Universal Geneve Polerouter, among others, sold his eponymous watch brand and name to what is now Bulgari and LVMH in the early 2000s. Then he started another brand - using his middle name instead of his family name - and that became Gerald Charles. It was sold to the Ziviani family in Italy in 2003, as Genta remained employed at the company as chief designer until his death in 2011. The brand continued producing mostly one-off, bespoke pieces on a small scale for wealthy clients until 2019, when Federico Ziviani, then in his early 20s, took over as Chief Executive Officer and pushed the Gerald Charles brand to a new phase. That would see it draw on designs from Genta's era with the company, most specifically the 'Maestro' case, and sell watches to consumers, first online and then through retailers. Production has climbed from about 200 watches a year to more than 1,500, and prices have climbed as well, to an average of about CHF 27,000, Ziviani tells us in an interview recorded at the company's operations in Geneva, where it has an atelier and a small museum that traces the history of the brand and its production. Ziviani is enthusiastic and passionate about the family-owned company that is now sold in about 100 retail stores globally. And he makes the case for why he thinks Gerald Charles watches deserve their hefty price tag. But first, we jump into some of the recent business headlines in the watch world. Rolex has consolidated its position as the dominant Swiss brand for watches priced above CHF 3,000 francs with more than 60% market share by sales, according to Swiss bank Vontobel. The bank also ranks the top brands by estimated sales, and we consider the list. And the Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres, or COSC, is launching a new higher-tier standard to test the accuracy and precision of Swiss watches. We discuss what that might mean for the Swiss industry, brands, and customers. Show Notes 1:40 Rolex Trimmed Production In 2025 According To Swiss Bank Vontobel 7:06 Gold price (Yahoo) 7:30 Switzerland's COSC Unveils 'Excellence Chronometer' Level Of Certification 14:20 Gerald Charles 15:00 Gerald Genta (Wikipedia)  15:49 Gerald Genta Gefica Safari (Europa Star) 17:11 Audemars Piguet Italia (Bloomberg) 18:20 Giampaolo Ziviani and Gerald Genta (Instagram) 26:20 Gerald Charles website 27:30 Ticino, Switzerland (Wikipedia) 38:30 Gerald Charles Ambassadors 42:15 Swiss Made or Swiss Charade?

AI Assisted Coding: Stop Building Features, Start Building Systems with AI What separates vibe coding from truly effective AI-assisted development? In this episode, Adam Bilišič shares his framework for mastering AI-augmented coding, walking through five distinct levels that take developers from basic prompting to building autonomous multi-agent systems. Vibe Coding vs AI-Augmented Coding: A Critical Distinction "The person who is actually creating the app doesn't have to have in-depth overview or understanding of how the app works in the background. They're essentially a manual tester of their own application, but they don't know how the data structure is, what are the best practices, or the security aspects."   Adam draws a clear line between vibe coding and AI-augmented coding. Vibe coding allows non-developers to create functional applications without understanding the underlying architecture—useful for product owners to create visual prototypes or help clients visualize their ideas.  AI-augmented coding, however, is what professional software engineers need to master: using AI tools while maintaining full understanding of the system's architecture, security implications, and best practices. The key difference is that augmented coding lets you delegate repetitive work while retaining deep knowledge of what's happening under the hood. From Building Features to Building Systems "When you start building systems, instead of thinking 'how can I solve this feature,' you are thinking 'how can I create either a skill, command, sub-agent, or other things which these tools offer, to then do this thing consistently again and again without repetition.'"   The fundamental mindset shift in AI-augmented coding is moving from feature-level thinking to systems-level thinking. Rather than treating each task as a one-off prompt, experienced practitioners capture their thinking process into reusable recipes. This includes documenting how to refactor specific components, creating templates for common patterns, and building skills that encode your decision-making process. The goal is translating your coding practices into something the AI can repeatedly execute for any new feature. Context Management: The Critical Skill For Working With AI "People have this tendency to install everything they see on Reddit. They never check what is then loaded within the context just when they open the coding agent. You can check it, and suddenly you see 40 or 50% of your context is taken just by MCPs, and you didn't do anything yet."   One of the most overlooked aspects of AI-assisted coding is context management. Adam reveals that many developers unknowingly fill their context window with MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools they don't need for the current task. The solution is strategic use of sub-agents: when your orchestrator calls a front-end sub-agent, it gets access to Playwright for browser testing, while your backend agent doesn't need that context overhead. Understanding how to allocate context across specialized agents dramatically improves results. The Five Levels of AI-Augmented Coding "If you didn't catch up or change your opinion in the last 2-3 years, I would say we are getting to the point where it will be kind of last chance to do so, because the technology is evolving so fast."   Adam outlines a progression from beginner to expert:   Level 1 - Master of Prompts: Learning to write effective prompts, but constantly repeating context about architecture and preferences Level 2 - Configuration Expert: Using files like .cursorrules or CLAUDE.md to codify rules the agent should always follow Level 3 - Context Master: Understanding how to manage context efficiently, using MCPs strategically, creating markdown files for reusable information Level 4 - Automation Master: Creating custom commands, skills, and sub-agents to automate repetitive workflows Level 5 - The Orchestrator: Building systems where a main orchestrator delegates to specialized sub-agents, each running in their own context window The Power of Specialized Sub-Agents "The sub-agent runs in his own context window, so it's not polluted by whatever the orchestrator was doing. The orchestrator needs to give him enough information so it can do its work."   At the highest level, developers create virtual teams of specialized agents. The orchestrator understands which sub-agent to call for front-end work, which for backend, and which for testing. Each agent operates in a clean context, focused on its specific domain. When the tester finds issues, it reports back to the orchestrator, which can spin up the appropriate agent to fix problems. This creates a self-correcting development loop that dramatically increases throughput.   In this episode, we refer to the Claude Code subreddit and IndyDevDan's YouTube channel for learning resources.   About Adam Bilišič Adam Bilišič is a former CTO of a Swiss company with over 12 years of professional experience in software development, primarily working with Swiss clients.

An employee of a London auction house, the young victim is at the chateau to take inventory of a priceless medieval art collection and other historical treasures. She's stabbed to death on the eve of a blizzard that shuts down all power and the roads heading in and out. Everyone has a story; some are newcomers, others go back generations, and no one is forthcoming. Agnes feels trapped, but she's determined to solve her first murder case. This is the first novel in Tracee de Hahn's Agnes Luthi mystery series. Tracee de Hahn is a writer and educator. She is the author of traditional mysteries set in Switzerland: Swiss Vendetta and A Well-Timed Murder, both published by Minotaur Books, as well as several non-fiction works on historical topics.

At 12, he was cutting metal in northern Italy. By 21, he was teaching DMG’s own technicians how to use their machines. At 47, he owns the whole company he first walked into just to set up a machine. Federico Veneziano is the owner of BoldX Industries and an old friend of mine. His story requires two episodes. This is part one: the serendipity, the winding path through shops and countries and setbacks. Part two, we will get into what he’s building now. But first, this is how he got here.

Interview Highlights Teaching the Experts Federico grew up about 60 miles northwest of Milan in a small town called Omegna. He started working in a machine shop at 12 years old. By his early twenties, he had developed deep expertise on Siemens controls, particularly the 840D. When DMG sent technicians to train him on a new machine, they were still new on the control themselves. He ended up helping them. That information got back to DMG headquarters, and they offered him a job. He traveled the world servicing CNC machines. Eventually he proposed an ambitious plan: working three years in the U.S., two years in Germany, three years in China. They agreed. He arrived in the US on August 4, 2004. His English wasn’t great, nobody had booked him a hotel, and he didn’t have a credit card. The first day was rough but he figured it out. The Job That Changed Everything One of Federico's first projects was at American Micro in Batavia, Ohio. The company had been founded in 1957 by a Swiss immigrant. He spent a year there setting up a GMC 35, then Gildemeister's CNC multi-spindle, for a fuel connector job that required gun drilling on a multi-spindle. It had never been done before. The project required developing new spindles and tooling just to make the part work. During that year, he built relationships with the team. When things went wrong with DMG around Christmas 2005, he walked away. He had no plan. It was ten days before the holiday. Then American Micro called. He joined as a process engineer and spent the next two decades working through every department: quality, supply chain, sales, engineering. He became close with the owners, particularly René, one of the founding family’s sons. He bought in as a minority owner, eventually reaching about 14%. He kept that ownership quiet for years. Most people at the company didn’t even know. From Rock Bottom to Owner Then everything hit at once. René passed away. Federico’s father passed within a couple of months. Personal problems piled on. By his own words, it was rock bottom. American Micro was second-generation family owned with no clear succession plan. Federico had tried to buy the company twice before. This time, he decided it was now or never. How does someone go from 14% to sole owner of a company doing $20-25 million in revenue? Federico says it was an amicable transaction where he leveraged multiple things he’d built over the years. He doesn’t go into every detail. But somehow the deal got done. In part two, we’ll get into what he’s building now. BoldX Industries has 125 employees, and Federico says they’re forecasting significant growth. He’s also got a book trilogy coming out. But that’s the next chapter. This one is about how he got here. Question: What twist of fate brought you to your current career?

Michael is 20 years old and runs his own machine shop in Idaho. He bought his first CNC at 17 while still in high school, taught himself machining entirely through YouTube, and has never spent a dollar on advertising.In this episode, Michael shares how he went from building RC airplanes to hand-coding G-code on a vintage Swiss lathe, why he moved his entire shop from Tennessee to Idaho, and how he stays up until 4 AM when customers need parts delivered on time.We talk about his equipment (Haas DM-2, S20Y lathe, Citizen B-12 Swiss, and a new Mazak 5-axis), his approach to finding work through relationships instead of marketing, and his plans to add robots before hiring employees.If you're curious about starting your own shop or wondering how someone builds a manufacturing business from scratch with zero industry connections, this one's worth a listen.Follow Michael on Instagram or YouTube.

In Episode 64, I talk to Iskra Martin, partner at Azura in Geneva, who has over two decades in Swiss private banking and investment management and won the 2026 WealthBriefing Switzerland award for Women in Wealth Management (individual contribution). Iskra explains what she does day-to-day: onboarding and servicing clients across multiple banks, building KYC and provenance-of-funds roadmaps, restructuring wealth journeys, and designing portfolios aligned to risk and return expectations with investment advisors.   She describes how independence increases efficiency and flexibility, enabling faster decisions and tailored solutions such as sourcing mortgages in the right jurisdiction when one bank cannot help. The discussion covers building multi-generational trust, navigating strict cross-border regulation, and how Swiss banking has changed with heavier onboarding and reduced privacy while remaining a stable, high-quality platform.   CONNECT WITH ISKRA: ⁠Azura Partners⁠   CONNECT WITH CAROLINE: Our club ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ gives you real-life stories and examples of how our club professionals can guide you on 'How to Keep Your Money' ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Caroline's Club⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ caroline@carolines.club

How did an industry survive a technology that should have made it obsolete? Aled Maclean-Jones explains to EconTalk's Russ Roberts how Japanese quartz watches nearly wiped out Swiss watchmaking with cheaper, more accurate alternatives--and how the Swiss redefined the value of a watch to recover market dominance. Maclean-Jones discusses the Japanese innovations that led to the Swiss industry's collapse; the brilliant decision by a pair of Swiss mavericks to change the narrative around mechanical watches; and the consolidation and standardization of Swiss watchmaking undertaken by Swatch founder Nicolas Hayek.

In this episode of Gangland Wire, host Gary Jenkins, retired Kansas City Police Intelligence Unit detective, steps outside traditional Mafia territory and into a shadowy world just as dangerous—and just as fascinating: the international theft of ultra-rare automobiles.  Gary is joined by author Stayton Bonner, former senior editor at Rolling Stone, and legendary car-recovery specialist Joe Ford, the real-life figure behind Bonner's book The Million Dollar Car Detective. At the center of the story is a breathtaking pre-World War II automobile—the Talbot-Lago Teardrop Coupé—once described as the most beautiful car in the world. Stolen from a Milwaukee industrialist's garage in 2001, the car vanished into the international underground of elite collectors, forged paperwork, and high-stakes deception. Joe Ford explains how he became the go-to investigator when rare cars worth millions disappear—and why stolen vehicles are far harder to recover than stolen art. What follows is a years-long global hunt involving disgruntled mechanics, fabricated titles, shell corporations, Swiss intermediaries, and a billionaire buyer now locked in civil litigation. Bonner adds rich historical context, tracing the car's glamorous past—from European aristocracy to Hollywood royalty—and exposing how loneliness, obsession, and greed often surround these legendary machines. The conversation expands into other notorious cases, including the disappearance of the original James Bond Aston Martin from Goldfinger, and how wealthy collectors sometimes knowingly harbor stolen artifacts. This episode is a true-crime story without guns or gangs—but filled with deception, betrayal, and the relentless pursuit of justice across borders. If you love investigative work, high-end crime, and stories that feel like James Bond meets Gone in 60 Seconds, this one's for you.

In this special Ask Away “Junior Edition” of the Everyday Judaism podcast, recoded during the Super Bowl Halftime, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe opens the floor to a group of young yeshiva students (ages 12–14) who ask thoughtful, deep questions on halacha, Torah, and Jewish life. The rabbi answers with warmth, clarity, and practical wisdom, often tying responses to broader lessons in emunah, mitzvot, and character.Key questions & answers:Aryeh Buchwald: Why does Hashem put us in Olam HaZeh instead of straight to Olam HaBa? — To remove “bread of shame” (nahama d'kisufa). If Hashem gave reward without earning it, we'd feel shame. This world lets us earn Olam HaBa through free will (bechira), overcoming challenges, and building a real relationship with Hashem.Shlomo Chaim Lieberman: Why is Yisro called “Chosen Moshe” and “Kohein Midyon” after his introduction, not just “Yisro”? — Yisro had seven names/titles. He explored every religion before discovering truth in Judaism and converting. The titles highlight his journey and stature—he overcame big challenges to join Klal Yisroel.Ephraim Yaghobian: Can a Jew work cleaning a church room that doesn't contain Avodah Zarah/Idolatry (e.g., priest's office)? — Generally permissible if no actual avodah zarah is present and no direct involvement in idolatry. Still, a God-fearing person may prefer to avoid any connection or send a non-Jewish worker instead. Each case should be asked to a local Orthodox rabbi.Yitzi Wolbe: Why does Gemara argue back and forth instead of just giving the halacha? — Judaism is about seeking truth (emes), not blind faith. Questions are essential—every page of Gemara has questions & answers to verify and deepen understanding. Other religions often forbid questions; Yiddishkeit welcomes them because truth withstands scrutiny.David Balsam: Why wait 6 hours after meat but only 30 minutes after milk? — Meat flavor lingers longer (stays between teeth); milk clears quickly. Hard cheese (e.g., Swiss) follows meat's waiting time because its flavor also persists.Shlomo Wolbe: Why so many different Minhagim (customs) if all Jews follow Torah? — Halacha gives a framework; minhagim are individual/community expressions of fulfilling mitzvot. Everyone must follow core halacha, but variations (e.g., hat styles, prayer customs) are allowed as long as they're rooted in Torah. Hashem loves diversity within unity—12 tribes each had their lane.Aryeh Buchwald: Is it allowed to pretend not to be home when a meshulach (charity collector) knocks? — Avoid outright lying (“I'm not home”). Better to say “I'm busy now” or “not able right now.” Don't say “I have nothing” (opens ayin hara). Giving with a smile is a huge privilege—Hashem sometimes appears as the poor person to see how we treat Him.Shlomo Chaim Lieberman: Eruv on Shabbos—why do we need it? — Biblical prohibition against carrying from private to public domain. Chazal created eruv as a rabbinic solution: string around neighborhood makes it one domain. One of seven major rabbinic enactments (others include netilat yadayim, Shabbos candles). Observe meticulously—many communities have multiple eruvim.The rabbi praises the boys' depth and encourages asking questions—Judaism thrives on seeking truth.Please submit your questions at askaway@torchweb.org_____________The Everyday Judaism Podcast is dedicated to learning, understanding and appreciating the greatness of Jewish heritage and the Torah through the simplified, concise study of Halacha, Jewish Law, thereby enhancing our understanding of how Hashem wants us to live our daily lives in a Jewish way._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Marshall & Doreen LernerDownload & Print the Everyday Judaism Halacha Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RL-PideM42B_LFn6pbrk8MMU5-zqlLG5This episode of the Everyday Judaism Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Marshall & Doreen Lerner!

If your god is all-powerful, why does he need backup? Somewhere between “not against flesh and blood” and organized christian exorcism, the idea of spiritual warfare turned a metaphor about personal temptation turned into a full-blown cosmic battle plan — complete with the Armor of God from Ephesians 6!In this episode we trace how our old mate Paul's language about “principalities and powers” evolved into demon panic, virtue cosplay, holy war rhetoric, and modern evangelical spiritual warfare and culture war politics. From Origen's internal battle with sin to Bunyan's allegorical demon politics to 17th-century Catholic exorcism manuals, we unpack how spiritual warfare became a theological Swiss army knife — used to explain temptation, demon possession, dissent, minorities, skepticism, and culture war Christianity. When the enemy is invisible, it could be anyone.If this episode made you laugh, think, or quietly question reality, come join our little coalition of the reasonable at PATREON. Bonus content, early releases, and a community that prefers evidence over exorcism. Sauces: Ephesians 6, Origen's inner battles, Prudentius' virtue cosplay, a Vatican-approved exorcism handbook (1614), a Protestant demon engraving (1623), and John Bunyan naming his villains things like “Incredulity.” (Full sources available on request.)

Timestamps: 03:06 - How the AI Boom is pushing energy back to the top of the agenda10:34 - Impact of new Funds on Founders35:22 - Startup Agenda Switzerland: Key Challenges49:14 - Prioritizing Startup Needs in SwitzerlandThis episode was co-produced with ⁠⁠Swiss Startup Days⁠⁠, the leading Swiss deep-tech catalyst event for startups, investors, enablers, and corporates.Checkout Newcomers - the ultimate pitching format for pre-seed and seed startups in Switzerland. Applications open in December 2025.Episode Summary:In this Febuary Swisspreneur Briefing, we go live with ⁠Sophie Lamparter⁠ (Founder & Managing Partner at ⁠VitaminºC⁠) and ⁠Laurent Decrue⁠ (Co-Founder & Co-CEO of ⁠Holycode⁠) to break down what's moving and shaking in the Swiss startup ecosystem in the last month -  from funding and liquidity to what founders should read between the headlines.This episode dives into three founder-relevant themes. First, the Swiss Venture Capital Report: funding is stabilising: but is CHF 2.95B remotely enough if we want global relevance? Second, AI's real impact on startups: cheaper building, higher expectations, longer bootstrapping, and bigger later rounds. Third, structural competitiveness: why capital, speed, and investor density matter more than celebratory rankings — and why Switzerland still struggles to fund late-stage ambition.We also go deeper into the nuances: the tension between hype cycle and fundamental shift in AI, why SaaS public market corrections signal changing assumptions - not collapse - and what a “Startup AG” could mean for Switzerland. From pension funds allocating to venture, taxation misalignment, to why the Delaware C-Corp still beats the AG in ease of setup, this conversation is less about criticism and more about unrealised potential.

EP 613 Teacher Sheyii: Omari vs Havi, Swiss Arrest, Ksh 1.9M Heist, iPhone Hunt & Deadly Accidents!

Kokkie Kooyman – Director, Denker Capital SAfm Market Update - Podcasts and live stream

El Catalán en Suiza, a 35-year-old engineer and X personality residing in Switzerland for seven years, guides others toward financial freedom by sharing relocation strategies, investment insights, and critiques of Spain's economic stagnation like rent controls and low savings rates. He emphasizes building passive income through rentals and side ventures while enjoying Swiss perks such as fjord-like winters and cold plunges.

The "new" nuclear option of Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon & Macklin Celebrini paid dividends for Team Canada as they downed Team Switzerland today by a score of 5-1 in the Olympic Mens Hockey Preliminary Round. The win guaranteed Canada will finish at the top of Group A and advance directly to the Quarterfinal round. Jason Strudwick and Rob Brown break it down, plus a check in from Milan from Ryan Rishaug and Mark Masters.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

   What has happened that we seem to have two sets of laws in America today.  From Tucson to Minneapolis and now, to KC... enforcement of the law comes down to one thing for those that commit crimes.  Do you love Trump or hate him?   A woman in KC sets fire to the building ICE wants to use and apparently authorities do not care at all.    Karoline Leavitt has fun trolling President Obama over voter ID saying Dems are panicked while posting a cool video.  Switzerland has had enough of illegal aliens pouring in and will hold a vote to limit the population of their country.    In sports, Jerome Tang blasting his players has made the K-State coach famous national as ESPN has a field day with his pathetic words.  The Daytona 500 is set for Sunday... we love the Great American Race.    Danny Clinkscale has a total meltdown on our Patron's Podcast Thursday about Golf Channel's lead announcer Steve Sands... this is hilarious and you will love it.    And our Final Final is a USA skier that says too much.

Is Abundance Inevitable? A 100-Year Vision with McKinsey's Chris Bradley What if the "Black Mirror" version of the future is wrong?

Chris breaks down the "Machine of Progress" and explains why a "strategic optimism" mindset is essential for navigating the next century. We explore a future where global prosperity could reach Swiss standards, the radical shifts in our demographics, and why AI might actually make us more human. Key Takeaways:

After 1 day of mens Olympic hockey, no one had a better start than the two favorites, USA and Canada. Macklin Celebrini shined in his Olympic debut. And Brady Tkachuk picked up right where he left off in Four Nations. Brock Nelson had a coming out party and Jordan Bennington is back on his big game bullshit. Plus, the Swedes survived Italy and the Fins stumbled against Slovakia. Are the Swiss and Germans for real? And holy smokes the US Women's team might be the best team of all time.  CHAPTERS: 00:00 - Intro 07:47 - Sweden / Finland  18:07 - Canada vs Czechia  40:57 - USA vs Latvia  01:06:18 - Womens Round Up  PRESENTED by BetMGM.

This week, we cast our stones at 2001's The Glass House, a movie about a family with the last name Glass, who literally live inside of a glass house. SYMBOLISM!!! WOW! In this psychological mystery thriller, there is no mystery and there are no thrills. The only thrill I got was when I unsuccessfully attempted to drown myself after watching it. What a turd of a movie. GLASS HOUSE! WHITE FERRARI! LIVE FOR NEW YEAR'S EVE!!!Surviving siblings sequestered by sinister surrogate stewards, stripped of any semblance of safety, swimming sexily, stalling stolen sports cars, sleuthing in shadows, and slaying in the sunlight.

Color coordinated Apple laptop outfit! Swiss chard shoulder belts! Foster daughter mattress overdose!

For Alexander Abnos, senior sports editor at the Guardian US “removing the US as World Cup host would be eminently sad – and entirely justified”.The 2026 Fifa World Cup will be hosted this summer by Mexico, Canada and the US.But the killings by Ice agents of US citizens and their intimidatory presence on city streets has been well reported globally which may make travelling fans nervous. And that's if they get in at all: the US president Donald Trump has imposed travel bans on several countries – including Senegal and Ivory Coast which have qualified to play.And then there is the stratospherically high price of stadium tickets which make going to the game prohibitively expensive.In January, former Fifa president Sepp Blatter supported calls by Swiss anti-corruption lawyer Mark Pieth for fans to boycott matches taking place in the US. But calls for boycotts of big sporting events are not unusual. They were loud before the last World Cup in Qatar but didn't make much of an impression.Abnos explains why a US boycott won't happen.Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by John Casey.

Baldwin: A Love Story (FSG, 2025) the first major biography of James Baldwin in three decades, reveals how profoundly the writer's personal relationships shaped his life and work. Drawing on newly uncovered archival material and original research and interviews, this spellbinding book tells the overlapping stories of Baldwin's most sustaining intimate and artistic relationships: with his mentor, the Black American painter Beauford Delaney; with his lover and muse, the Swiss painter Lucien Happersberger; and with his collaborators, the famed Turkish actor Engin Cezzar and the iconoclastic French artist Yoran Cazac, whose long-overlooked significance as Baldwin's last great love is explored in these pages for the first time.

None of Your Goddamn BusinessJohn Morgan Salomon said something during our conversation that I haven't stopped thinking about. We were discussing encryption, privacy laws, the usual terrain — and he cut through all of it with five words: "It's none of your goddamn business."Not elegant. Not diplomatic. But exactly right.John has spent 30 years in information security. He's Swiss, lives in Spain, advises governments and startups, and uses his real name on social media despite spending his career thinking about privacy. When someone like that tells you he's worried, you should probably pay attention.The immediate concern is something called "Chat Control" — a proposed EU law that would mandate access to encrypted communications on your phone. It's failed twice. It's now in its third iteration. The Danish Information Commissioner is pushing it. Germany and Poland are resisting. The European Parliament is next.The justification is familiar: child abuse materials, terrorism, drug trafficking. These are the straw man arguments that appear every time someone wants to break encryption. And John walked me through the pattern: tragedy strikes, laws pass in the emotional fervor, and those laws never go away. The Patriot Act. RIPA in the UK. The Clipper Chip the FBI tried to push in the 1990s. Same playbook, different decade.Here's the rhetorical trap: "Do you support terrorism? Do you support child abuse?" There's only one acceptable answer. And once you give it, you've already conceded the frame. You're now arguing about implementation rather than principle.But the principle matters. John calls it the panopticon — the Victorian-era prison design where all cells face inward toward a central guard tower. No walls. Total visibility. The transparent citizen. If you can see what everyone is doing, you can spot evil early. That's the theory.The reality is different. Once you build the infrastructure to monitor everyone, the question becomes: who decides what "evil" looks like? Child pornographers, sure. Terrorists, obviously. But what about LGBTQ individuals in countries where their existence is criminalized? John told me about visiting Chile in 2006, where his gay neighbor could only hold his partner's hand inside a hidden bar. That was a democracy. It was also a place where being yourself was punishable by prison.The targets expand. They always do. Catholics in 1960s America. Migrants today. Anyone who thinks differently from whoever holds power at any given moment. These laws don't just catch criminals — they set precedents. And precedents outlive the people who set them.John made another point that landed hard: the privacy we've already lost probably isn't coming back. Supermarket loyalty cards. Surveillance cameras. Social media profiles. Cookie consent dialogs we click through without reading. That version of privacy is dead. But there's another kind — the kind that prevents all that ambient data from being weaponized against you as an individual. The kind that stops your encrypted messages from becoming evidence of thought crimes. That privacy still exists. For now.Technology won't save us. John was clear about that. Neither will it destroy us. Technology is just an element in a much larger equation that includes human nature, greed, apathy, and the willingness of citizens to actually engage. He sent emails to 40 Spanish members of European Parliament about Chat Control. One responded.That's the real problem. Not the law. Not the technology. The apathy.Republic comes from "res publica" — the thing of the people. Benjamin Franklin supposedly said it best: "A republic, if you can keep it." Keeping it requires attention. Requires understanding what's at stake. Requires saying, when necessary: this is none of your goddamn business.Stay curious. Stay Human. Subscribe to the podcast.
