The weightless era of software is over. This week the AI buildout slammed into the physical world: concrete, copper, electricity, water, and capital. We map the paradox of record wealth at the top of the stack and intense friction everywhere else.Alphabet announced an $80 billion equity raise, its first major stock sale since the 2004 IPO, to fund an estimated $180 to $190 billion in AI compute capex for 2026, with Berkshire Hathaway taking a $10 billion private placement. Broadcom posted a record fiscal Q2 of $22.19 billion, AI chip revenue up 143%, and Marvell shipped the first 102.4 Tbps switch that Jensen Huang called the next trillion-dollar company.SoftBank overtook Toyota to become Japan's most valuable company after pledging 75 billion euros for 5 gigawatts of AI data centers in France. The bill for the combined ~$700 billion buildout is landing on workers: 2026 tech layoffs have reached roughly 142,000, and employment for developers under 26 has dropped nearly 20% since 2024.GitHub Copilot switched to token-based billing, with power-user bills jumping from about $29 to $750 and outliers hitting $3,000. NVIDIA and Microsoft launched the RTX Spark to run 120-billion-parameter models locally, Anthropic filed confidentially for a roughly $1 trillion IPO, and Ohio suspended its data-center tax break as a citizen petition aims to ban hyperscale data centers. Community consent, water, and energy are the real bottlenecks.If you want a prize, send us a DM:instagram.com/rickerandbontiktok.com/@rickerandbonyoutube.com/@rickerandbon
Most diets fail not due to willpower, but biology. This audiobook summary reveals the hidden hormonal truth behind weight regain.
Probation...therapy...restraining orders...the sex offender list. These are just some of the examples of what we call "weightless consequences" for convicted criminals in horrible cases. We spoke about the importance of understanding plea deals and sentences and whether justice is really served.
Momoko Tanikawa has gone from a JFA Academy prodigy to one of the most electrifying midfielders on the planet. In this episode, we chart her spectacular rise, from tearing up the Swedish league with FC Rosengård to securing a treble with Bayern Munich alongside Pernille Harder. We break down her "Jamal Musiala-esque" playing style, her breathtaking 35-meter Olympic winner against Brazil, and why Japan's newest No. 10 is destined for the very top of the world game.

A Bethany man pleaded guilty to sexually abusing girls in the town-run after school program and summer camp where he worked. His plea deal means him serving four years in prison, a lifetime restraining order for the victims in this case and registering as a sex offender. It may sound bad but is it really? We asked law enforcement expert, Gary MacNamara, who also happens to be a Bethany resident tracking this case from the beginning.
In 1992 industrial super group Pigface released their first live album, Welcome To Mexico…Asshole. It was a crazy experimental recording that became a cult classic not only for the songs performed, but also for the eccentric lineup that made up the band at that time. To this day, everytime I cross the border I recite to myself the name of this record and a few lines from Weightless, TFWO, and of course Suck.

One in eight Americans is on a GLP-1 right now — and most of them are totally flying blind. That's why I sat down with return guest Dr. Rocío Salas-Whalen, a board-certified obesity specialist and the bestselling author of Weightless, for a conversation that your doctor should be having with you but probably isn't. We get into everything: who's actually a good candidate, how to keep your muscle while you lose weight, and why struggling with your weight was never, ever a willpower thing. She breaks down all the brands, spills on whether "microdosing" GLP-1s works or is a TikTok trend and tells you which foods to avoid while you're on the medication. You're going to walk away knowing what questions to ask, how to handle the side effects, and why muscle mass is the metric you should be watching way more than the scale.

In this insightful conversation, endocrinologist Dr Rocio Salas-Whalen joins Bahar to demystify the science and emotional journey behind GLP-1 medications. They explore how these drugs—originally developed for diabetes—have become a cornerstone of modern metabolic and hormonal health. From microdosing pitfalls to the importance of muscle preservation, protein intake, and hydration, Dr Salas-Whalen explains why these medications can be transformative when used responsibly under medical supervision. The discussion also touches on the psychological side of weight loss, the future of obesity treatment, and how GLP-1 might even influence brain health and addiction recovery. Dr Salas-Whalen’s new book Weightless offers practical guidance for women navigating midlife metabolism with compassion and science. Key Takeaways GLP-1 medications were discovered in 2005 and have redefined metabolic health. Chronic inflammation is a central issue in obesity and ageing. Microdosing doesn’t work—therapeutic dosing under expert care is essential. Muscle mass is the engine of metabolism and longevity. 100–110 grams of protein per day supports muscle, bone, and skin health. Hydration is often neglected but vital. GLP-1 may support addiction recovery and emotional stability. Sustainable change requires both science and emotional awareness.

Today, I'm thrilled to reconnect with Dr. Rocio Salas-Whalen, a board-certified endocrinologist and obesity medicine specialist with more than 15 years of clinical experience, widely recognized as one of the earliest adopters of GLP-1 therapies in the United States. She is also the author of the upcoming book Weightless: A Comprehensive Guide to the New Era of GLP-1 Medications. In our discussion, we explore the transgenerational impact of obesity as a complex, chronic, and deeply multifactorial condition. We discuss the effects of environmental exposures and trauma, the essential role of education in overcoming weight-loss resistance and managing obesity, and the physiological changes women experience in the perimenopause-to-menopause transition. We explain the importance of body positivity and image, reframing our thoughts around obesity and being overweight, and why building and maintaining muscle is non-negotiable. We dive into the physiology of GLP-1 medications and specific targets for women in perimenopause and menopause, ways to address weight-loss stalls, and the effects of the weight bias so deeply entrenched in our society. Dr. Salas Whalen also shares her thoughts on alternatives and additions to GLP-1 therapies, clarifying the importance of protein and strength training while using GLP-1 drugs. This conversation with Dr. Salas-Whalen is truly invaluable, and I highly recommend her upcoming book, Weightless. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: • What people come to understand about “normal eating” after starting GLP-1s • How GLP-1s interrupt the binge–guilt–shame cycle • The role GLP-1s play in helping people stay in control of food rather than letting food control them • Strategies for avoiding side effects when using GLP-1 medications • Why certain foods trigger problems on injection days • Importance of proper guidance to prevent severe side effects • The impact a prescriber's guidance has on your success with GLP-1s • Why treatment plans must be tailored to each patient's needs and metabolism • Factors doctors consider when deciding whether to add additional medications to a GLP-1 plan Connect with Cynthia Thurlow Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com Join other like-minded women in a supportive, nurturing community (The Midlife Pause/Cynthia Thurlow) Cynthia's Menopause Gut Book is on presale now!

Send us a textIf you're listening in real time, Merry Christmas, my dear friends.I'm sending you so much love, safety, and calm this season. This week, I introduce you to a Maester who has profoundly shaped how I think about attention, discipline, peace, and the body: Cal Newport. This is not fluffy productivity advice.This is about unfinished tasks, hidden stress, and how scattered attention quietly drains our energy—and often shows up as urges we don't fully understand.In this episode, I explore why attention isn't just a productivity issue—it's a wellness issue. We talk about deep work, the modern attention crisis, digital minimalism, and what it means to build a life rooted in presence instead of reaction. If you've ever ended the day feeling busy but behind,If your mind feels fragmented,If you crave calm, clarity, and follow-through—This episode is for you. Because where your attention lives… your life follows.

In this episode, Dr. Vonda Wright sits down with triple board-certified obesity medicine specialist Dr. Rocío Salas-Whalen, author of Weightless, to unpack the emotional and metabolic weight so many women carry for decades. Dr. Rocío shares what she sees every day in her Manhattan practice—patients arriving exhausted, ashamed, and feeling like this is their "last stop"—and explains why weight is never just a number on the scale, but a story of muscle, visceral fat, metabolic health, and self-worth. Together, they dive into Dr. Dr. Rocío's powerful GPS method—GLP-1s, Protein, and Strength training—to protect muscle, recompose the body, quiet "food noise," and finally break free from shame-driven dieting. This conversation is a blend of science, strategy, and deep compassion, offering real hope that it's never too late to build strength, reclaim your health, and feel truly weightless—inside and out. ••• Connect with Dr. Rocío: Preorder "Weightless" Book: https://weightlessthebook.com/?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGnu-g-zjUsbanm0Eb0P0lnGqqCxvj4Rn4HgFYyTO4gZYeRWQlam3beXQiEeFk_aem_AXnyDrfHnig8_jjIsCKmmw Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drsalaswhalen/?hl=en ••• Make sure to follow Dr. Vonda Wright: Instagram: @drvondawright Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@vondawright Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drvondawright LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vonda-wright-md-ms-2803374 Website: http://www.DrVondaWright.com Dr Vonda's Unbreakable Bone Health provides bone density and quality support by using ingredients that have over 30 years of clinical research, patented and are directly linked to increasing bone strength, bone density, and improving the health and integrity of the bone.

Krautrock superstars Motrik have been a driving, pulsing beat at the heart of Portland music for more than a decade. On the eve of their forthcoming album "Earth," Dave, Erik, and Jonah from the band joined us to chat about humane vermin training, the foundational beat at the core of every song in their catalog, the relaxing innovation of mud-themed recording studios, the mechanics of harmonica care, and the evolving interpretations of the Motrik sound that emerged organically from their new songs.Music this week:"Ultimate Drive" by Motrik (22:12)"Polyphemus Beat" by Shitao (40:17)"Weightless" by Motrik (53:25)"Islands" by Plankton Wat (78:29)"Friday Nights" by Petty Treason (97:41)
Virginia Duan is the biggest BTS fan I've ever encountered. I do not understand this. But I also know she is one of the best and biggest baddasses I've ever met.

Liz LongleyTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Nashville based artist Liz Longley. In this episode, Liz and I chat about her being born & raised in Pennsylvania, not far from where Taylor grew up, and how there MUST be something in the water in that area! Then we get into some of the reasons behind her attending; as well as some of the thigs that she learned at The Berkley School of Music. We touch very briefly on her similarly brief NYC residence, before she packed her guitar and her song book, and headed for the much more apt Nashville. Of course, I get her to explain a musical concept that I only recently learned about, and it turns out that it is her favorite musicology term! Then we talk about her music. Liz has released SEVEN albums! I pepper her with questions about some of my favorites of her work, and the meaning behind them. Naturally, I ask her about her two Kickstarter campaigns. In 2012, Liz launched a Kickstarter campaign designed to help her finance a studio album. By the end of the campaign, she has raised 157% of her goal. The resulting record that she made, landed her a record deal with Sugar Hill Records! We discuss a bit of her time at that record company, and how her exit from it transpired. Sadly, when she left the record company, they had received & shelved her latest album. So, she turned once again, to her backers at Kickstarter. Her 2020 Kickstarter campaign had a goal to raise enough funds to PURCHASE the finished album from the record company. The campaign met the stated goal in the first 24 hours and went on to raise 333% of the financial goal; making that one of the biggest musician campaigns ever funded on the platform. She used the extra funds to create TWO more records! Liz was a blast to chat with, and she even let me play two of her songs that I absolutely love. PLUS, we get together to come up with an amazing offer for the listeners of this episode. Liz will send every listener a FREE CD EP (just pay shipping)! Click the link below to get that FREE CD! Make sure you follow her on all of the social medias, and check her website for tour dates near you. At the time of this recording, Liz was about 8.75 months pregnant with her second child. That baby was born less than 2 weeks ago! Congratulations Liz and welcome Connor to the world!Link to FREE CD (Just pay shipping)B) FSH Sales Page #1 — Liz Longley
So many women trying to lose weight feel guilty the moment they do something for themselves—whether it's saying no to dinner out, waking up early for the gym, or taking a walk alone. That guilt makes self-care feel selfish, when in reality, the opposite is true. In this episode of Weightless, Jess & Melissa unpack why self-care is the foundation of sustainable weight loss, how to set boundaries without shame, and how choosing yourself actually allows you to show up better for everyone else. If you've ever felt torn between your health goals and the pressure to put everyone else first, this conversation will help you release the guilt and finally give yourself permission to prioritize YOU.

Perfectionism may have helped you thrive in other areas of life—like building your career, running your household, or keeping everything together—but when it comes to weight loss, it's the very thing keeping you stuck. In this episode of Weightless, Jess & Melissa unpack how perfectionism fuels all-or-nothing dieting, how the toxic diet industry preys on that mindset with unrealistic rules, and what it really takes to shift into progress over perfection. You'll learn how to stop self-sabotaging, build consistency that actually lasts, and finally lose weight without burning yourself out.

Send us a textWhat does it really mean to be a "selfish mom"? In this raw and candid episode, I open up about my recent Hashimoto's diagnosis and why it's become my wake-up call to prioritize my health again. After years of putting everyone else first, I'm embarking on a 30-day journey eliminating gluten, dairy, and sugar—not from a place of restriction, but with the hope of reclaiming my energy and feeling like myself again.Many of you have noticed my recent weight changes and asked if I'm using GLP-1s. The answer is no, but I share my honest thoughts on weight loss aids and why sustainable habits matter more than quick fixes. I also tackle the uncomfortable truth that losing weight doesn't automatically make you content with your body—something I've learned firsthand after losing over 50 pounds.The reality of life with three boys ages 11, 7, and 2 isn't always Instagram-perfect. I confess to moments of disassociation, feeling overstimulated, and sometimes sitting in my car before entering the house just to catch my breath. These aren't failures—they're necessary adaptations when you're stretched thin. The secret isn't doing it all perfectly; it's getting back in the driver's seat of your life rather than letting life happen to you.For those struggling to find themselves amid the chaos of motherhood, I'm launching a six-week Selfish Mom Method coaching program designed to help you prioritize your mental and physical health while creating sustainable routines. Because here's what I've learned: taking care of yourself isn't selfish—it's the foundation that allows you to show up fully for everyone else.Ready to redefine what being "selfish" really means?
