December brings those annual bad habits back for about six weeks. You know the ones. I sat on the couch all day after a neighbor's wine party and had one word: incompatible. Not sustainable. Compatible. That's the question that changes everything about your habits. You already know what you should be doing. I walk you through my Good Habit Generator process that makes it actually happen. Short list. Pick one. Do it today. Layer in the rest. Simple stuff that works when life gets complicated. Featured Story My neighbor threw a wine party on Saturday night. I like good wine. And I almost never drink during the year. So I went. Had a glass. Maybe more because people kept topping me off. Cookies, chicken wings, pigs in a blanket, Swedish meatballs. All of it. Sunday morning I woke up with one word in my head: incompatible. Fun? Absolutely. But completely incompatible with what I want. I know because I spent the entire day on the freaking couch doing nothing. That one word has become huge in my coaching. Not is it sustainable, but is it compatible with your life? Important Points Every single action or inaction in your life creates a result, even doing nothing changes things. You already know your bad habits and good habits, the problem is making them fit your actual life. Compatible beats sustainable as the question to ask about your habits and choices. Memorable Quotes "Is it compatible or is it incompatible with your life?" "Everything you do in your life is a result of an action or an inaction." "If you do what you'd like to do and if you do it every single day, your life is going to be happier." Scott's Three-Step Approach Make a short list of one to three good habits you know will improve your life right now. Choose one single habit from your list and do it today, then repeat it tomorrow no matter what. Layer in the other habits from your list day by day without overwhelming yourself with too much too fast.

Princess Sofia's newly exposed ties to Jeffrey Epstein have triggered heavy criticism because the palace's explanation leans heavily on distance and hindsight rather than accountability. While the Royal Court insists she merely “met” Epstein a few times in the mid-2000s, leaked emails paint a picture of someone orbiting his social world far more closely than the sanitized palace version suggests. She didn't just bump into him — she was introduced, socialized, exchanged emails, and was even invited to his private island. The palace's claim that she “declined” the trip reads more like damage control than moral clarity, especially given how many young women in that era were drawn into his orbit under similarly innocuous pretenses. Critics argue that Sofia benefited from the glamorous social connections Epstein helped facilitate while now relying on the defense that “no one knew” who he really was.The timing has also raised eyebrows. Her sudden withdrawal from the Nobel Prize ceremony — a major royal showcase she has consistently attended — didn't go unnoticed, and it fueled suspicion that the royal family is scrambling to contain fallout rather than confront it. The broader criticism is that the Swedish monarchy is handling Sofia's Epstein ties with the same evasive tone we've seen from other powerful institutions: acknowledging the bare minimum while declining to explain why she maintained contact long enough for invitations, introductions, and social overlap with a man who already had a reputation — even then — for inappropriate behavior around young women. The palace's framing tries to minimize the connection, but in doing so, it underscores the same elitism and selective amnesia that let Epstein operate untouched for decades.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Royal princess curiously vanishes amid shock Epstein revelations after the ex-lingerie model was invited to Paedo Island

Time today for some seasonal music, but, of course, with a twist. Sofia Talvik has joined us twice before, and with the release of her 2nd compilation of her annual Christmas songs, songs which Sofia has written to explore the wider experience of Christmas, including the distressing and challenging sides of the holiday, we again reached out across the sea to her, to Berlin, Germany, where this Swedish-born folk artist sometimes lives when she's not touring the USA or living in her other home in Spain.

Christmas in Sweden unfolds during one of the darkest times of the year. Days are short, nights are long, and much of the country sees only a few hours of daylight in December. These conditions gave shape to many Swedish Christmas customs. Families learned to bring light into their homes through candles, soft decorations, warm food, and long held habits passed down through generations. The season begins in late November and builds slowly toward Christmas Eve. Homes decorate with star-shaped lights in windows, which brighten the early sunsets. Families place candles on tables and shelves to give the house a warm glow. Churches hold services during Advent, and towns host small events that help people enjoy the season even in the deep cold. Sweden's winter weather encourages families to gather indoors. People look forward to evenings spent together, warm drinks, quiet conversations, carols, and simple traditions that feel steady and calm. This slow build is a key part of Christmas in Sweden. Nothing feels rushed. Families enjoy each step, from Advent to Christmas Day, with a sense of rhythm shaped by the long Swedish winter.

Full Episode only on Patreon.com/michaeldeconIn this gripping episode of The Michael Decon Program, Michael Decon reunites with Danish author and researcher Ole Dammegard, a veteran guest known for his deep dives into political assassinations and alleged false flag operations. Ole opens up about Sweden's recent constitutional changes blending criticism of NATO with labels like "conspiracy theorist" or "espionage," warning that his outspoken views could land him up to 18 years in prison if he returns home despite past honors like the Prague Peace Prize and adoption by the Apache nation. He shares how these pressures inspired his new "Demi Guardian Freedom Retreats" in Bali, intensive seven-day immersions from April 1-7 (Swedish) and April 18-25, 2026 (English), designed to empower attendees with tools to decode staged events, release fear, and foster truth-seeking networks in a stunning rice-field valley retreat center.​The conversation flows into Bali's unique spiritual culture, where locals responded to the 2002 Kuta bombing not with revenge, but with mass prayers for forgiveness, contrasting sharply with Western outrage cycles fueled by media and chemical "rushes" from anger. Ole links this to post-9/11 "War on Terror" escalations, including the Bali attack's rapid FBI presence and odd injuries suggesting beta-tested weapons, aimed at pressuring holdout nations like Australia into compliance. He reveals predicting or exposing 77 alleged attacks via forensic clues from insiders, emphasizing emotional balance and compassion as antidotes to propaganda's problem-reaction-solution playbook.​Ole advises everyday listeners to spot psyops by pausing fear-based narratives pumped through screens, treating them like marketing ploys that prime us for solutions like endless wars or restrictions. With AI blurring reality, he now limits interviews to maintain discernment, urging a shift from division to upliftment through personal energy "ripples." Tune in for this raw exchange on staying centered amid global deceptions, and check demiguardians.com/travelbali for retreat details.

This month on Unpacked, we're diving into Afar's just-released Where to Go list—but this year's picks are different. In 2026, we want to lessen the burden on overtouristed destinations and expand visitation to other parts of the world. Our editors carefully selected 24 emerging regions and overlooked locales that will inspire your next great adventure. For Sweden, that means skipping Stockholm and heading instead to the Stockholm Archipelago—a series of 24,000 islands about the size of Connecticut.

The first music ever recorded in the multi-track format in Ethiopia came about from a Swedish national living in Addis Ababa who offered use of his four-track recorder to a group of Ethio-Jazz workhorses named Ibex Band. The Ibex boys welcomed the opportunity and set up shop in the empty ballroom of a hotel. For two days they made magic that would lay dormant for close to fifty years before a formal release this past April. What a gift.

Starting in the mid 2010's, Sweden's gang wars transformed from neighborhood disputes into a national crisis, driven by splintered immigrant-area crews who now recruit teenage hitmen willing to kill for a few thousand dollars. At the center of the chaos, the bitter feud between Shottaz and Death Patrol, two rival networks whose bombings, kidnappings, and retaliatory shootings have turned Stockholm's suburbs into warzones. The murder of chart-topping rapper Einár shocked the country, a killing that symbolized how deeply the underworld had bled into mainstream Swedish life. How did one of Europe's safest countries turn into a gangland battleground? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In the second part of my conversation with retired FBI profiler Julia Cowley, we continue examining the 1996 murder of 20‑year‑old Swedish au pair Karina Holmer, whose body was discovered in a Boston dumpster. We explore what the killer's choices reveal about motive, how geography points to where the crime likely occurred, and why media speculation unfairly cast suspicion on several people. Building on Part 1, this episode focuses on the behavioral insights that might one day help solve one of Boston's most haunting cases.Contact me at silverliningshandbookpod@gmail.comCheck out the Silver Linings Handbook website at:https://silverliningshandbook.com/Check out our Patreon to support the show at:https://www.patreon.com/thesilverliningshandbookJoin our Facebook Group at:https://www.facebook.com/groups/1361159947820623Visit the Silver Linings Handbook store to support the podcast at:https://www.bonfire.com/store/the-silver-linings-handbook-podcast-storeVisit The True Crime Times Substack at:https://truecrimemessenger.substack.comThe Silver Linings Handbook podcast is a part of the ART19 network.

Combining Torbjorn's sleek, thoughtful design with Dominic's horticultural expertise, Wormly is a biodegradable in-ground worm farm that turns everyday scraps into a natural, slow-release fertilizer, right where your plants need it. It's easy to use, kind to the planet, and a little addictive to watch in action. Every Wormly helps divert food waste from landfill, nourish your garden, and save you money on fertilizers.

BUFFALO, NY — December 8, 2025 — A new #research paper was #published in Volume 17, Issue 11 of Aging-US on September 12, 2025, titled “Infusion of blood from young and old mice modulates amyloid pathology.” This study was led by co-first authors Matias Pizarro from Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez and Ruben Gomez-Gutierrez from The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, alongside corresponding authors Claudia Duran-Aniotz from Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez and Rodrigo Morales from The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston and Universidad Bernardo O'Higgins. The goal was to investigate how blood from young and old mice influences Alzheimer's-related changes in a transgenic mouse model. The findings indicate that age-dependent circulating factors can either worsen or mitigate brain changes associated with dementia, highlighting blood and its components as potential therapeutic targets. Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by misfolded amyloid proteins, inflammation, and gradual cognitive decline, with aging as its main risk factor. In this work, whole blood from young adult or very old wild-type mice was repeatedly infused into Tg2576 mice, a well-established model of amyloid accumulation and memory impairment. Over several months, recipient mice received 30 weekly blood infusions, followed by behavioral testing and detailed neuropathological analyses. “Tg2576 mice express the human APP harboring the Swedish mutation.” Mice that received blood from old donors performed worse in both short- and long-term spatial memory tasks than mice infused with young blood, suggesting that aged blood contains factors that impair cognition. When the team examined brain tissue, they found more cortical amyloid deposits detected by a specific antibody in mice treated with old blood, while overall amyloid levels measured biochemically did not change, suggesting differences in plaque type or compactness rather than total amount. The expression of amyloid precursor protein in the brain was also higher after old-blood infusion, which may partly explain the shift in amyloid pathology.​ Despite these changes in plaques and memory, classical markers of astrocyte activation, a sign of brain inflammation, did not differ between groups, pointing to more subtle molecular shifts. A broad proteomic analysis of brain samples revealed dysregulation of proteins involved in synapse formation, calcium signaling, and the endocannabinoid system, pathways important for neuronal communication and plasticity. Among them, the calcium channel–related protein CACNA2D2 and the signaling protein BRAF were increased in mice that received old blood, confirming that aged blood circulation can reshape key signaling networks linked to neuronal function and degeneration. Overall, this study supports the idea that blood is not just a passive carrier but a powerful modulator of brain health during aging and disease. While young blood has been associated in previous work with improved synaptic function and reduced amyloid and tau changes, this study emphasizes the harmful impact of old blood, particularly on cortical amyloid patterns and memory. The identification of CACNA2D2 and BRAF as potential mediators of these effects suggests new avenues for targeting blood-borne factors or downstream brain pathways to slow or modify Alzheimer's-related decline.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 12-04-2025: Dr. Dawn opens with an experimental vaccine that prevents severe allergic reactions by targeting IgE antibodies. The vaccine could eventually replace current monoclonal antibody treatments like omalizumab that require injections every two weeks. She explains how adjuvants work in vaccines as additives that irritate the immune system enough to notice the vaccine target. Aluminum hydroxide is s common adjuvant. Modern vaccines use small pathogen fragments rather than whole organisms, requiring adjuvants to trigger adequate immune response. Dr. Dawn expresses concern about the US Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices reviewing aluminum adjuvants this week. A Danish study of over one million children finding no connection between aluminum with autism and ADHA contradicts RFK,Jr's public claims.She worries that removing aluminum could devastate vaccine effectiveness and children's health, noting that whenever vaccination rates drop, diseases like measles return to native circulation. She recounts pertussis vaccine history—when Japan stopped vaccination due to rare adverse reactions (approximately one death per million doses), they lost about 5,000 children to whooping cough in the first year. The newer acellular vaccine using pathogen fragments plus adjuvants is safer but only lasts 4-5 years versus lifetime immunity from the older whole-cell version, necessitating "cocooning" strategies where everyone contacting newborns must be recently vaccinated. Dr. Dawn describes a vaccine to prevent fentanyl from reaching the brain now starting clinical trials in the Netherlands. It pairs a fentanyl-like molecule with a carrier protein large enough to trigger antibody production. Once primed, the immune system attacks any fentanyl entering the blood, preventing highs and overdoses—potentially helping people in addiction recovery and those accidentally exposed through contaminated drugs. She reports the first documented death from alpha-gal syndrome. Alpha-gal is a meat allergy triggered by Lone Star tick bites; the tick essentially vaccinates humans against the alpha-galactosidase protein found on beef and pork. Cases have increased since 2010 as climate change expands the tick's range northward, yet a 2023 survey found 42% of doctors had never heard of the condition. Dr. Dawn highlights research from Edith Cowan University showing that blood drawn after exercise suppresses cancer cell growth when added to tumor cultures. In breast cancer survivors, plasma from high-intensity interval training or weight lifting caused cancer cells to stop growing or die; blood drawn before exercise had no effect. The key mechanism involves myokines, particularly IL-6, released by contracting muscles. A Stanford study found colon cancer survivors who exercised were 37% less likely to experience recurrence. A caller asks about pig-to-human heart transplants and mask recommendations. Dr. Dawn clarifies that newer xenotransplant pigs have more genes edited to reduce rejection compared to the 2022 case. For masking, she recommends context-dependent use—especially in public restrooms where toilet flushing aerosolizes COVID-containing particles, transportation hubs, and hospitals, noting that COVID vaccination prevents death but not infection or long COVID. She advises the same caller about spacing vaccines because adjuvant loads stack. Most vaccines can be combined safely, but she recommends against pairing COVID and Shingrix vaccines due to their heavy adjuvant content—wait at least ten days between them. She suggests inducing a sweat the night of vaccination through hot baths, saunas, or exercise to reduce adjuvant-related discomfort without diminishing antibody response. Dr. Dawn discusses seasonal affective disorder. She recommends 5,000 units of vitamin D3 and morning light exposure. She suggests that sun avoidance advice may have gone too far. A UK study of 3.36 million people found 12-15% lower mortality with greater UV exposure even accounting for skin cancer risk. A Swedish study following 30,000 women for 20 years found sun-seekers had half the mortality risk. Benefits may involve nitric oxide production lowering blood pressure, with each 1,000 km from the equator correlating with 5 mmHg higher blood pressure. Lack of bright outdoor light also contributes to childhood myopia, with rates exceeding 80% in some Asian cities. Dr. Dawn concludes with Danish microbiologists at Copenhagen's Alchemist restaurant reviving an old Bulgarian practice of fermenting milk with live red wood ants. The resulting yogurt, cheese, and ice cream contain far more beneficial microbes than commercial products, with a complex lemony acidity. Only live ants work, and wild ants may carry parasites dangerous to humans.

Jakob Oftebro (Black Crab, Lillyhammer) joins Son of a Binge host Reshma Gopaldas to talk all about his role as media mogul, Jan Stenbeck in Vanguard, which is being hailed as the Swedish Succession. Imagine if Kendall Roy, Shiv Roy, Roman Roy, and Connor Roy were actually competent. What'd you get is Jan Stenbeck. Based on the true story of the Stenbeck family empire, Oftebro leads the cast.Vanguard is streaming now on Viaplay.Also starring: Zoe Boyle (Merrill McCloud), Irene Lindh (Märtha Stenbeck), Malin Crépin (Margaretha af Ugglas), Julia Marko Nord (Elisabeth Silfverstolpe), Iggy Malmborg (Oskar), Nils Wetterholm (Marcus).Son of a Binge production credits:Hosted by: Reshma Gopaldas (TW: @reshingbull, IG @reshmago)Artwork by: Laura Valencia (IG @iamlauravalencia)Music by: Kevin Calaba (IG @airlandsmusic)Show Description (from Viaplay):Vanguard tells the story of an unlikely media mogul and trailblazer of technological reform, torn between passion and duty. It's a tale of fearless entrepreneurship, a desire to change the world — and a sibling rivalry in a powerful family fractured by old wounds. At 35, Jan Stenbeck appears to have it all: a prestigious career at Morgan Stanley, a glamorous life in New York, and a budding romance with American socialite Merrill McCloud. But when tragedy strikes his family in Sweden, he's suddenly thrust into a leadership role at Kinnevik, the family's industrial empire. Armed with bold ideas from the U.S., Jan has no interest in continuing the legacy of steel and forestry. Instead, he launches a radical transformation, turning the conservative conglomerate into a telecom and media powerhouse. What follows is a high stakes battle between tradition and innovation, as Jan's vision clashes with his siblings' resistance to change. His relentless drive reshapes the Nordic media and telecom landscape: he breaks Sweden's telephone monopoly, launches TV3 - Scandinavia's first commercial channel - and pioneers' strategies that inspire Rupert Murdoch's Sky TV model and lay the groundwork for Vodafone's rise. At his peak, Jan is worth 800 million dollars, founds 20–30 companies annually, and helps shift Sweden from a traditional industrial society into a leader in global communications. But his meteoric rise comes at a cost. Haunted by loneliness and broken family ties, Jan's life proves as turbulent as it is transformative. Send us a text, let us know what shows and guests you want us to cover.

Bryan goes all the way back to 1997 and relives a lot of his friends and himself grappling with the fact that this dance music was hitting very hard but at the end of the day, was still dance music. John, on the other hand, only knew The Prodigy as a band with 100% bangers and a premium place on the absolutely iconic Canadian compilation album, "Big Shiny Tunes 2". It's a lot to unpack for what is ultimately one of the biggest albums we've ever covered that sold multiple millions of copies, went to #1 in an absurd number of countries, and sent two songs to the top of the UK Singles Charts. It was a moment in time, and The Prodigy captured it perfectly, and we try to capture that all here. Plus, we dive in on the 2026 Sonic Temple lineup and poster.

When two visionaries meet, strange things can happen. So it was for Natalie Massenet, founder of upscale shopping site Net-a-Porter, and Swedish creative director and Frame founder Erik Torstensson. The high fashion power couple parlayed their early successes into venture capital projects - including Skims - and then shocked their world in August 2025 with a bombshell lawsuit from Natalie alleging all kinds of inappropriate conduct by Erik, her partner of many years. It appears that things haven't blown over so much as having been fastidiously swept under a designer rug.
