Jeff Bezos and Extreme Competition

Sun Sets West

Roots Run Deep (Michael Anthony and B. Smiley Deep Remix)

Experience the beauty of romance in this charmingly illustrated book showcasing true stories of true love, in all its magnificence and mess.

From The New Yorker contributor and @drawingolive Instagrammer Olivia de Recat comes a heartwarming look at love, in its many forms. Drawing on interviews with "the best couples she knows"—young and old, from all walks of life—de Recat explores the question: what makes love work? But instead of trying to solve the puzzle of all relationships, ever, Drawn Together simply reflects the world back to itself, with stories of love and belonging, from pet names, to first date anxieties, to the enduring tales of life-long partnership. 

Throughout, Olivia gracefully weaves in her own experiences, exploring how sometimes finding love can mean learning to embrace yourself. A perfect gift for a partner, a couple celebrating an anniversary, or a friend who just went through a break up, Drawn Together is a hopeful, humorous, entertaining book that will inspire even the shiest among us to take a chance on love.

Drawn Together by Olivia de Recat Read by Olivia de Recat - Audiobook Excerpt

A War Without Casualties
The Republic of San Magnolia has long been under attack from the neighboring Giadian Empire's army of unmanned drones known as the Legion. After years of painstaking research, the Republic finally developed autonomous drones of their own, turning the one-sided struggle into a war without casualties-or at least, that's what the government claims.

In truth, there is no such thing as a bloodless war. Beyond the fortified walls protecting the eighty-five Republic territories lies the "nonexistent" Eighty-Sixth Sector. The young men and women of this forsaken land are branded the Eighty-Six and, stripped of their humanity, pilot the "unmanned" weapons into battle...

86--EIGHTY-SIX, Vol. 1 by Asato Asato, Shirabii Read by Suzie Yeung and Alejandro Saab - Audio

Vivons heureux avant la fin du monde (15) : Mince, une injonction !
C’est comme un murmure au fond du cerveau. Des pensées parasites permanentes. Au sujet du ventre (est-ce qu’on va voir mon bourrelet avec ce t-shirt ?), des fesses (pourquoi j’ai repris du gratin dauphinois ?) ou des cuisses (ce petit paréo sera parfait pour cacher ma culotte de cheval). En effet, ça ne vole pas très haut, et on est au courant qu’il y a mieux à faire que de surveiller ses kilos. Mais le fait est que ça nous pourrit la vie, surtout si on est une femme. Les psychologues appellent ça l’anxiété corporelle : une forme de haine de soi chevillée à la cellulite et qui condamne à manger des endives. 
D’où vient cette tyrannie de la minceur ?  Pourquoi intériorise-t-on si docilement la règle sociale qui fait de la minceur une condition sine qua non de la beauté ? Alors qu’elle rend tout le monde malheureux, et provoque de graves troubles du comportement alimentaire chez 5% des adolescentes ? Et surtout, comment s’en libérer ? 

Pour ce dernier épisode avant la plage , Delphine Saltel sonde les méandres de notre rapport au corps et l’obsession contemporaine pour la taille 38. Désespérée de voir sa fille stresser sur son poids à même pas 12 ans et demi, elle part à Poitiers consulter deux chercheurs en psychologie sociale qui étudient les mécanismes de la comparaison sociale, l’exposition passive aux normes de minceur et leur impact sur la psyché féminine.  Elle croise le récit d’Eloïse, une jeune femme fascinée par l’élection de Miss France et touchée par l’anorexie, avec celui de la réalisatrice féministe Ovidie. Une plongée dans le bain culturel qui abreuve nos posts Instagram et nos imaginaires conditionnés. Car il est urgent de dégraisser nos méconnaissances, et de faire fondre les injonctions au summer body

Vivons heureux avant la fin du monde
Comment s’habiller, échanger, voyager, s’aimer dans les années 20 ? Pour se bricoler une morale minimale en des temps de crises sociale, écologique et sanitaire, Delphine Saltel (Que sont-ils devenus ?, Y'a deux écoles) explore chaque mois nos incohérences et les solutions possibles. Mêlant questionnement personnel, tribulations domestiques, reportages et entretiens avec des chercheurs et des activistes, ce nouveau podcast veut alerter, éveiller et rassurer sur un autre monde possible.

Tough Roe to go: Abortion and the midterms

In 1977, a mild-mannered aeronautical engineer sideswiped a parked car in Compton, CA. He stopped his car to see the damage, and all of a sudden a man opened his car door, and jumped in the car. He said, "I'm about to save your life." What happened next would torture him for the rest of his life.

Ep 11: I'm About to Save Your Life

Robert Lewandowski spricht im Trainingslager über Krafttraining, technische Fähigkeiten bei Stürmern und sein Geheimnis guter Ernährung.

So bereitet sich Robert Lewandowski auf die Rückrunde vor

Be afraid.  Be VERY afraid.  Just in time for Halloween, Snap Judgment proudly presents, “Spooked II:  Return of the Fallen.”  Real stories about lost souls, and the horror they inflict on the living.
