    The Trial of Vladimir Putin

    Vladimir Putin's war against Ukraine has cost hundreds of thousands of lives and is fundamentally an attack on democracy. Under international law, the invasion of a United Nations member state which poses no imminent threat to the invader amounts to the serious crime of aggression. But can Putin be prosecuted? And if so, will he ever be held to account?
    This remarkable book, by one of the world's most celebrated human rights lawyers, shows how the Nuremberg trials of Nazi leaders validate the prosecution of Putin. Ironically, Putin's defence hinges on a doctrine invented by George W. Bush to justify his invasion of Iraq, which Geoffrey Robertson exposes as contravening international law. If Putin fails to attend court, Robertson argues that he could be tried fairly in his absence, ensuring a verdict that will give pause to China and other countries which look to destroy democracy.
    This brilliant deep dive into international law offers a unique perspective on an unjust war, highlighting why democracy is not safe unless Putin can be put – at least metaphorically – behind bars.

    Anxiety disorders are prevalent mental health issues. While everyone encounters stress and anxiety at some point, triggers vary from person to person. Some may experience anxiety in social situations, while others may feel it when faced with heights. The scale of anxiety differs as well, with some perceiving it as a background worry and others experiencing intense and unsettling emotions, such as continuous fear and panic attacks. 
    Regardless of the type or intensity of anxiety disorder, this course aims to help individuals create mental clarity and peace by distancing themselves from anxiety. The long-term goal is to change the perspective and experience of anxiety rather than trying to eliminate it entirely. Anxiety is a natural emotion inherent in all healthy human beings. While it serves a purpose in certain situations, it becomes problematic when it interferes with daily life and becomes destructive. 
    Overwhelming anxiety hinders our ability to manage day-to-day activities, leading to muscle tension, shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, and other physical symptoms. We often try to avoid triggering situations. Not only does anxiety impact our own well-being, but it also affects the people around us, including friends and family. 
    This course emphasizes shifting and mastering our relationship with anxiety, rather than attempting to eradicate it. By becoming at ease with anxiety and accepting its presence when it arises, we can avoid getting entangled in it or trying to suppress it.

    Inside a drug war so screwy that people don't know what's illegal—until it's too late. 
     
     
     
    Bizarro is a must-listen tale of the unprecedented prosecution of Burton Ritchie and Ben Galecki, the Florida-based founders of a sprawling "spice" (synthetic cannabinoid) operation. With this book, journalist and former New York City narcotics prosecutor Jordan S. Rubin exposes a Reagan-era law called the Analogue Act, which targets dealers selling drugs that are "substantially similar" to controlled substances—an unwieldy law that produces erratic results in court. 
     
     
     
    Rubin brings listeners deep inside the synthetic war, exploring how Ritchie and Galecki landed in its crosshairs and why one of the DEA's own chemists may have been their best chance at freedom, until he was arrested too. This stranger-than-fiction narrative is backed by thousands of pages of court records and exclusive interviews with defendants, lawyers, law enforcement, celebrities, and more. Bizarro reveals the world of underground chemists making drugs faster than the government can ban them, dealers making millions in a gray market, and a justice system run amok.
