Protein is everywhere — tons of us are trying to cram more of it into our diets, and it's showing up in our lattes, our snack bars, even our popcorn. But just as we're getting on board with protein-maxxing, a bunch of headlines have started saying the opposite: that eating LESS protein could actually help you live longer. So what's going on here?? Should we be piling on the protein — or pulling back? And could going too low actually be dangerous? We talk to biologist Prof. Dudley Lamming and exercise physiologist Prof. Stuart Phillips to find out. Note: This episode mentions calorie restriction.

This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Senior Editors Molly Roberts and Eric Columbus, and Contributing Editor Renée DiResta, to talk through the week's big domestic news stories, including:“Signed, Sealed, Undelivered.” As the first mail ballots of the 2026 midterms go out this week, a fast-moving legal fight over President Trump's effort to reshape mail-in voting is racing toward the Supreme Court. At issue is a new U.S. Postal Service rule—stemming from a Trump executive order—that requires states to submit absentee voters' information to a federal portal before USPS will deliver their mail-in ballots. A federal ruling in Massachusetts blocked key parts of the rule last week, the administration is appealing, and a separate challenge is pending in Washington, D.C. Meanwhile, an anonymous whistleblower in the U.S. Postal Service has come forward and warned that the hastily built portal it intends to use to vet mailed ballots is so untested and unforgiving that a single scanning error could stop tens of thousands of ballots from reaching voters. How did we get here? And what is it likely to mean for November's election?“Meta Culpa.” Last week, Meta abruptly settled a landmark child-safety case midway through trial, agreeing to pay a bipartisan coalition of state attorneys general as much as $17 billion and to overhaul how teenagers experience Instagram and Facebook. The proposed consent judgment—which has been approved by a federal judge in California—would require a default two-hour daily time limit for users under 18, a midnight-to-6 a.m. “night mode,” hidden “like” counts, stronger age checks, and a school-hours notification cutback, most of it locked in for a decade. It's being billed as the largest big-tech settlement ever, but some children's advocates are warning that its terms don't touch the recommendation algorithms at the heart of the problem. Is this a turning point for social media regulation—or just a manageable cost of doing business?“Strictly Ballroom.” On Monday, a divided Supreme Court cleared the way for President Trump to keep building his enormous new White House ballroom, staying a lower-court injunction that had halted construction on the site of the now-demolished East Wing. But the 5-4 ruling in National Park Service v. National Trust for Historic Preservation didn't actually decide whether the project is lawful. Instead, the majority held that the challengers—led by an architectural historian who regularly walks her dog past the White House—lacked standing to sue, deeming her objection to the ballroom mere “offense” rather than a concrete aesthetic injury. In an unusual twist, Chief Justice Roberts wrote the principal dissent, joined by the Court's three Democratic appointees, arguing that the Court has left standing doctrine even murkier than it found it. So what did the Court actually decide? And what might it mean for other legal challenges to Trump's refashioning of our nation's capital, and beyond?In object lessons, the summer has left most of our crew hungry for more. Eric is eating up the tropical goodness of certain (glass-free) Outshine fruit bars. Molly is savoring the simplicity of an in-season tomato. Scott is perfecting his process for perfect pizza. And Renée stands alone snackless, squeezing out the last of her summer stress with a NeeDoh squishy.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

John is joined by writer and historian Scott Crawford to recount the bloodiest episode in the history of Dutch Formosa. A revolt, led by Guo Huaiyi, resulted in the deaths of several thousand Chinese. We look at what drove farmers to rebellion and the tragic events of September 1652. This episode grew out of John and Scott's special ten-part read-along of Dr. Chen Yao-Chang's novel A Tale of Three Tribes in Dutch Formosa, which follows Dutch, Chinese and Siraya characters in the mid-seventeenth century.

In this episode, Pearl shares a very personal tale about her blood sugar and the unexpected turn it took as she entered menopause. For years, her numbers looked great while living the Trim Healthy Mama lifestyle. But as time went on, something began to change. Even though she was still eating well and doing what had always worked for her, her A1C kept moving in the wrong direction. A doctor gave her two pieces of advice. One she took. The other sent her down a completely different path. We're talking about blood sugar, muscle, protein, carbohydrates, aging, and why sometimes the answer isn't simply eating less or cutting out another food group. Pearl also shares what this journey taught her about strength training, starting imperfectly, and refusing to let intimidation keep you from building a healthier future. If you've ever wondered why your body seems to respond differently as you get older or felt like you're doing everything “right” and still not seeing the results you expect this is one you'll want to hear.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Unburying Old Friendships: A Time Capsule Tale Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2026-09-02-07-38-19-hu Story Transcript:Hu: Az őszi szellő csendesen zizzentette meg a faleveleket a Buda-hegyek lakónegyedének parkosított kertjeiben.En: The autumn breeze gently rustled the leaves in the landscaped gardens of the Buda-hegyek residential district.Hu: László, a nyugdíjas történész, egy kis kézi lapáttal térdelt saját kertjének puha földjén.En: László, a retired historian, knelt with a small hand trowel in the soft soil of his own garden.Hu: Gyakran merült el ilyen módon a múltban, mind szó szerint, mind átvitt értelemben.En: He often immersed himself in the past in this way, both literally and figuratively.Hu: Egyik délután, miközben átültetett néhány rózsatövet, egy különös kongás üdvözölte.En: One afternoon, while he was transplanting some rose bushes, he was greeted by a strange hollow sound.Hu: Izgatottan kotorászott tovább.En: Excitedly, he dug further.Hu: Egy régi bádogdoboz fedél képe bontakozott ki előtte.En: The image of an old tin box lid emerged before him.Hu: László tudta, hogy ez több lehet egy egyszerű rozsdás ládánál; valószínűleg egy idő kapszula a múltból.En: László knew this could be more than just a simple rusty box; it was likely a time capsule from the past.Hu: Szíve hevesen vert a felfedezés izgalmában.En: His heart raced with the thrill of the discovery.Hu: Azonban szinte azonnal ráébredt egy kellemetlen valóságra.En: However, he almost immediately realized an unpleasant reality.Hu: A doboz az ő és szomszédja, Péter, földje közötti határt metszette.En: The box straddled the boundary between his and his neighbor Péter's property.Hu: Péter, a mogorva szomszéd, sosem volt híres a vendégszeretetéről, és kertjére is különösen féltékenyen ügyelt.En: Péter, the grumpy neighbor, was never known for his hospitality and was particularly protective of his garden.Hu: László nak döntést kellett hoznia.En: László had to make a decision.Hu: A lelkiismerete arra ösztökélte, hogy titokban ássa ki a dobozt.En: His conscience urged him to secretly dig up the box.Hu: De az igazságérzete és a becsület nem engedte meg ezt neki.En: But his sense of justice and honor couldn't allow that.Hu: Végül úgy döntött, hogy tisztelettudóan, de határozottan megkíséreli megszólítani Pétert.En: Eventually, he decided to attempt to respectfully, yet firmly approach Péter.Hu: Egy őszi délután László bekopogott Péterhez.En: On an autumn afternoon, László knocked on Péter's door.Hu: A kopásos ajtó nyikorgott, ahogy Péter lassan kinyitotta.En: The weathered door creaked as Péter slowly opened it.Hu: László mély lélegzetet vett, majd mindent elmesélt Péternek.En: László took a deep breath, then told Péter everything.Hu: Beszélt a szenvedélyéről, a történelem szeretetéről, és arról, hogy mennyire vágyik megtudni, mit rejt a múlt.En: He spoke of his passion, his love for history, and how much he longed to find out what the past held.Hu: Péter arcán először mogorva kifejezés ült, de a szavak, amiket László mondott, lassan megérintették.En: At first, a grumpy expression sat on Péter's face, but the words László said slowly touched him.Hu: Talán saját múltjából senki sem emlékezett rá hasonlóan, mint ahogy a doboz emlékeztette őket másokra.En: Perhaps, no one from his own past remembered it in a similar way as the box reminded them of others.Hu: Kis szünet után Péter bólintott és így szólt: "Rendben van, László. Ásuk ki együtt. Lássuk, mit tartogat a múlt."En: After a brief pause, Péter nodded and said, "Alright, László. Let's dig it up together. Let's see what the past holds."Hu: Ahogy a föld alól kiemelték a dobozt, a rozzant fedél alatt régi szeretetlevelek, fekete-fehér fényképek és néhány teljesen elfeledett trinket csillant fel.En: As they lifted the box from the ground, under the dilapidated lid, old love letters, black-and-white photographs, and a few completely forgotten trinkets glistened.Hu: A hatvanas évek emlékei elevenedtek meg előttük, kedves mosolyokat és néhány könnycseppet is csalva az arcukra.En: Memories of the sixties came to life before them, bringing warm smiles and a few tears to their faces.Hu: A tartalom nem volt gazdag, nem volt múzeumba illő felfedezés, de a benne rejlő érzelmek és személyes történelem mégis értékessé tették.En: The contents weren't rich, not a museum-worthy discovery, but the emotions and personal history within made it valuable.Hu: László ráébredt arra, hogy néha a közös múlt újraélesztése hozza a legnagyobb örömet.En: László realized that sometimes the greatest joy comes from reviving a shared past.Hu: És Péterrel átélt közösen egy történelmet, áthidalva köztük a régi ellentétet.En: And with Péter, he lived through a history together, bridging the old divide between them.Hu: Rájöttek arra, hogy a közösség és az együttműködés ereje szintúgy fontos, mint a személyes sikerek hajszolása.En: They realized that the power of community and cooperation is just as important as the pursuit of personal successes.Hu: A Buda-hegyek lakónegyede most egy kicsit közelebb került egymáshoz, az őszi lombhullás alatt.En: The Buda-hegyek residential district came a little closer together now, under the fall of the autumn leaves.

On September 5, 2025, a seemingly abandoned Tesla was towed from an affluent neighborhood in the Hollywood Hills.  Within a couple days, tow yard employees couldn't get past the outrageously pungent odor emanating from the Tesla, along with colonies of insects making themselves at home in and around it.  The workers couldn't be sure what the smell was, but they knew.  The LAPD was contacted, the smell was reported and when officers arrived and opened the front end cargo area of the vehicle, they discovered two body bags containing dismembered human remains.  Whose remains were these?  Who did this Tesla belong to?  And how did all this end up in a tow yard in Hollywood?  This is the first part of a two part series on the 2025 murder of 14 year old Celeste Rivas Hernandez.SOURCES:https://apnews.com/article/d4vd-celeste-rivas-hernandez-killing-trial-52aced35d8cccc3a3d6445b6d13db6a5https://apnews.com/article/d4vd-burke-hearing-celeste-rivas-hernandez-65647a24c7808bebc0b6ff9040f50615https://apnews.com/article/d4vd-celeste-rivas-hernandez-timeline-100e62a0e54ca5d5786d5f7d1570c33chttps://apnews.com/article/d4vd-celeste-rivas-hernandez-killing-trial-52aced35d8cccc3a3d6445b6d13db6a5https://apnews.com/article/d4vd-charges-celeste-rivas-hernandez-a5ae08c1dda921dad1750d3ceda16c47https://apnews.com/article/d4vd-celeste-rivas-hernandez-what-to-know-7d278e5f2fc1e3c4bce9dabb0bdc2098https://abc7ny.com/story/celeste-rivas-hernandez-was-not-pregnant-when-she-killed-prosecutors-say/19600998/https://abcnews.com/US/d4vd-murder-case-timeline-investigation-14-year-girls/story?id=132319472https://apnews.com/article/d4vd-celeste-rivas-hernandez-killing-burke-32ca2cc61ca6b7db8e3170888d3dacd4https://apnews.com/article/d4vd-suspect-celeste-rivas-hernandez-f58e2983916aaf3340cc48b7e711118fhttps://apnews.com/article/d4vd-celeste-rivas-hernandez-lake-elsinore-d3ed2bdb9f023041226f13912bc1f4faLINKS:Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/killaforniapodPayPal:  https://www.paypal.coCashm/paypalme/killaforniapodMerchandise:  https://killaforniadreamingpodcast.threadless.com/Website:  https://killaforniadreamingpodcast.buzzsprout.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KillaforniaDreamingPodcastFacebook Group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/1296620370450345/Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/killaforniadreamingInstagram:  https://www.instagram.com/killaforniadreamingpod/?hl=enX:  https://twitter.com/killaforniapodTikTok:  @killaforniadreamingpod Cash App:  $KDpodcastCosta Oil Las Vegas: Oil Change Service Las Vegas, NV Costa Oil Instagram: Costa Oil Las Vegas (@costaoillasvegas) • Instagram photos and videos Costa Oil Facebook:  Facebook Support the show

On this week's Security Sprint, Dave and Andy covered the following topics:Opening:• Celebrating 5 Years of the Tribal-ISAC: Mid-Year Executive Director Update — TribalHub • FB-ISAO Newsletter, v8, Issue 8 — Faith-Based ISAO • AI/Vishing: The Voice Is Not the Control — Crypto ISAC • National Insider Threat Awareness Month: Protect Our PotentialMain Topics:Iran hackers: Minnesota ‘warning' ignored, ‘critical events' to hit 3 U.S. infrastructure sectors — Threat Beat — 31 Aug 2026. APT IRAN, which has claimed responsibility alongside CyberAv3ngers for recent attacks affecting U.S. municipal water systems, issued a new threat against multiple U.S. critical infrastructure sectors as military tensions with Iran continue. The group characterized its earlier Minnesota activity as a warning and has previously claimed the ability to affect electricity, telecommunications, and water infrastructure, although adversary claims regarding access and capabilities should not be accepted without independent verification. A Tale of Two SOCs: Insights From Two Red Team Assessments — CISA — 25 Aug 2026. CISA released findings from simultaneous red-team assessments of organizations in the Government Services and Facilities Sector and the Water and Wastewater Systems Sector. Both organizations experienced successful initial compromise, but the government organization failed to detect or effectively contain subsequent activity while water-sector defenders quickly identified compromised systems and isolated them. CISA attributed the differing outcomes in part to alert noise, organizational silos, cloud-security weaknesses, and differences in how defenders were empowered to respond. Institutional Wilful Blindness, NCSC Cyber Series — NCSC Cyber Series — 2026. The first installment of a two-part discussion examines why organizations can understand that cyber risks exist yet still fail to take meaningful action before incidents occur. Leadership expert Margaret Heffernan, Professor Genevieve Liveley of the Research Institute for Sociotechnical Cyber Security, and an NCSC social sciences leader discuss how organizational culture, leadership behavior, communication, and the narratives used to describe cybersecurity can create a gap between awareness and action. The discussion emphasizes that resilience depends on more than technical controls and requires leaders to challenge complacency, communicate uncertainty effectively, and create environments where uncomfortable risk information can influence decisions.

So much of the fatigue, skill plateaus, injuries, and burnout we see in gymnasts gets chalked up to gymnastics just being hard—and yes, it is. But that doesn't mean all of these struggles are normal.The problem? You don't know what you don't know. And you can't necessarily look at your gymnast's teammates as the benchmark when many of them are likely underfueling and struggling too.Our most successful gymnasts get their nutrition dialed in before competition season starts. Yet January continues to be one of our most popular times for families to reach out—when everyone is panicking because their gymnast doesn't feel ready for season, is still stuck on skills, is exhausted, or is dealing with an injury that just won't go away.By that point, we're playing catch-up. And issues that have been building for months aren't always going to be fully resolved by Regionals.In this episode, Christina tells the story of two level 10 gymnasts who took very different approaches to preseason nutrition — and had very different comp seasons because of it.The first, a four-time national qualifier with a full-ride D1 scholarship, was struggling badly going into her senior year: constant sickness, injuries, skills falling apart after years of consistency. When her mom joined Christina's preseason nutrition challenge that September, an initial consult revealed underfueling, iron deficiency, and an H. pylori infection. Correcting her intra-workout fueling and hydration made a difference within weeks, and by comp season she was hitting high 38 all-arounds, qualified to the Nastia Liukin Cup, made nationals, and is now competing in college.The second gymnast waited much longer. Injured in preseason, she rehabbed in time to attempt a comeback but had no energy or endurance. She didn't start working with Christina until April, and recommended bloodwork was delayed until summer — which revealed months of undiagnosed iron deficiency anemia. She missed nationals that year, losing an entire season to a fixable problem caught too late.Christina uses both stories to make the case for why preseason, not January or April, is the time to get fueling right.In this episode, we cover:❗ Why gymnasts shouldn't compare their struggles to teammates who may also be underfueled ❗ How one gymnast turned her senior year around by fixing fueling in the fall ❗ Why iron deficiency and H. pylori infections take months, not days, to resolve ❗ How delaying lab work cost another gymnast an entire competitive season ❗ The difference between iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia ❗ Why January is the most popular — and most reactive — time families reach outChristina's takeaway: gymnastics being hard doesn't mean your gymnast's fatigue, plateaus, and injuries are normal. Families who get ahead of nutrition before comp season starts see dramatically different outcomes than those who wait until crisis mode. With four months left before the new year, there's still time to change the trajectory of this season.If your gymnast is heading into preseason and you want to make sure fueling isn't holding her back, reach out.

et højt KLONG!En: When they reached the top, Mikkel stumbled, and his hand slipped - a loud CLANG!Da: lød, da hans albue ramte klokken.En: sounded as his elbow hit the bell.Da: Lyden rungede gennem Ribe, og folk stoppede i deres spor.En: The sound echoed through Ribe, and people stopped in their tracks.Da: En stilhed lagde sig over landsbyen, da folkemængden begyndte at samles ved klokketårnet.En: A silence settled over the village as the crowd began to gather at the bell tower.Da: Astrid kiggede strengt på Mikkel.En: Astrid looked sternly at Mikkel.Da: "Vi er nødt til at fortælle det til de ældste."En: "We need to tell the elders."Da: Med et tungt hjerte gik de tre mod landsbyens ældste.En: With heavy hearts, the three of them walked towards the village's elders.Da: De borede deres blik i de skyldige, mens mængden begyndte at hviske.En: They fixed their gazes on the guilty parties as the crowd began to whisper.Da: "Det er et dårligt varsel," hørte de folk sige.En: "That's a bad omen," they heard people say.Da: Mikkel trådte frem og sagde, "Det var min fejl.En: Mikkel stepped forward and said, "It was my fault.Da: Jeg ringede med klokken ved et uheld.En: I rang the bell by accident.Da: Undskyld.En: I'm sorry.Da: Jeg vil gøre det godt igen."En: I will make it right."Da: De ældste nikkede alvorligt, men før nogen kunne sige mere, kom en pludselig vindkast.En: The elders nodded gravely, but before anyone could say more, a sudden gust of wind came.Da: Klokken svingede hastigt og afslørede en gammel pergamentrulle, der var gemt i dens base.En: The bell swung swiftly and revealed an old parchment scroll hidden at its base.Da: Ældste Svein, den klogeste blandt dem, tog forsigtigt rullen og læste dens indhold højt.En: Elder Svein, the wisest among them, carefully took the scroll and read its contents aloud.Da: Det var en orakelspådom, der bragte gode nyheder og lovede en fremgangsrig høst og tættere fællesskab i Ribe.En: It was an oracle's prophecy, bringing good news and promising a prosperous harvest and a closer community in Ribe.Da: Mængden begyndte at juble.En: The crowd began to cheer.Da: Freja, med et skævt smil, sagde, "Måske var denne hændelse ikke så slem, endda."En: Freja, with a crooked smile, said, "Maybe this incident wasn't so bad, after all."Da: Astid gav Mikkel et klem på skulderen.En: Astrid gave Mikkel a pat on the shoulder.Da: "Nogle gange kræver det lidt uheld at finde noget skønt."En: "Sometimes it takes a bit of misfortune to find something wonderful."Da: Mikkel åndede lettet op.En: Mikkel breathed a sigh of relief.Da: Han indså, hvor vigtigt det var at være ærlig og have tillid til dem, han holdt af.En: He realized how important it was to be honest and trust those he cared about.Da: Sammen kunne de tage sig af alting, selv de mest uventede situationer.En: Together, they could handle anything, even the most unexpected situations.Da: Og så, med solen, der endnu skinnede, fejrede landsbyen en ny begyndelse.En: And so, with the sun still shining, the village celebrated a new beginning.

This 8-episode series is built around a 2 1/2 hour interview with The Patti Smith Group's Lenny Kaye, and the main event: an unprecedentedly detailed five-hour interview with last man standing David Freiberg, a very special experience that—regardless of how you feel about the group—will absolutely blow your mind with its unique twists and turns. There's in-depth commentary on their history, a slew of endlessly wild stories, and star ratings for every release. Prepare yourselves: Lenny Kaye's the wind up, and David Freiberg is very much the pitch.  This is Part 2 of the series, a free-flowing rap session featuring Lenny Kaye and I celebrating the eternal greatness of Quicksilver Messenger Service, and the late Sixties San Francisco scene as a whole. Here are just a few of the many things that Lenny discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast: A peek into that lightning-quick Nicky Hopkins-led Quicksilver middle period; Lenny's feelings about the group after Dino swept in; Lenny continues to fight me on rating these records, but I fight back; An exploration of Quicksilver's later career; And we find out why Lenny opts to simply skip the Dino era entirely.

Country singer and rapper Shaboozey is probably best known for his features on Beyonce's “Cowboy Carter” album, or for his viral, chart-topping single, “A Bar Song (Tipsy).” Now he has returned to the scene with a new, star-studded record about an outlaw out to avenge her father's death. It's a genre-defying concept album that fuses hip hop with country, spoken-word and ballads – and that features Jamie Foxx, Kehlani, Leon Bridges, Gunna and Sam Elliott. On The Sunday Story, Shaboozey joins Ayesha Rascoe to talk about the inspiration – and intentions – behind “The Outlaw Cherie Lee & Other Western Tales.”Support public media with NPR+ and enjoy perks for over 25 podcasts like this one.

What happens when the faith that once sustained you no longer feels big enough for the questions you're carrying? Ginny sits down with bestselling author Ian Morgan Cron to explore the newly re-released Chasing Francis: A Pilgrim's Tale, a novel about a burned-out pastor whose crisis of faith sends him on an unexpected pilgrimage through Italy and into the life and teachings of St. Francis of Assisi. Ian shares why seasons of questioning don't necessarily signal the loss of faith—they can become invitations into something deeper, richer, and more resilient. Together, he and Ginny explore pilgrimage, the wisdom of ancient Christian traditions, the importance of listening to our bodies, and what can happen when we step outside our routines and relinquish control. They also explore St. Francis's profound connection to the natural world and why time outdoors can awaken wonder, restore perspective, and reconnect us with God. It's a thoughtful conversation about embracing mystery, paying attention, and allowing our faith to grow alongside us through every season of life.

The 1683 Battle of Penghu is over, but there's plenty more to say after our last episode. Eryk reads some victory poetry by the Kangxi Emperor. John is not a fan. We then turn to changing ideas of patriotism. Why have some Han Chinese nationalists objected to a new film celebrating Shi Lang's conquest of Taiwan? And does Chiang Kai-shek look rather different if we view him principally as a Chinese nationalist – especially when compared with the Chinese Communist Party's relationship with Stalin and the Soviet Union?But all that is a modest preamble to two big announcements. First, there are some non-Formosa Files podcasts you should know about, including Eryk and John discussing Yang Shuang-zi's Taiwan Travelogue on the Books on Asia podcast. John also chatted on that podcast with Tyrel Eskelson about his Taiwan 22: Travels in Paradox.And John has another similarly named podcast, Bookish Asia with Plum Rain Press. He tells us about a new ten-part Bookish Asia series devoted to Dr. Chen Yao-chang's historical novel A Tale of Three Tribes in Dutch Formosa.

"If the owner is spending less than $200 on a prostitute, it's okay to leave trash in the stadium." The legendary Dolly Parton passed away yesterday at 80 years old after an incredible life. Greg Cote is here to discuss the impact she had on all of our lives and what made her such an icon. We also discuss Klay Thompson signing with the Miami HEAT further after he was introduced to the Miami media and traffic yesterday. Plus, Trysta says something about an NBA player that none of our other cast members could say about a WNBA player, Greg Cote almost steps in it, and Mike poses an important question, which is more intense: Handmaid's Tale or The Bear.
