Avec Arnaud Saint-Martin, sociologue. On connait tous la phrase de Neil Armstrong, le premier homme à avoir marché sur la lune, en 1969 : « C'est un petit pas pour l'homme, un pas de géant pour l'humanité ». Depuis 1972, plus aucun homme n’y était retourné. Mais avec la mission Artémis lancée par Donald Trump, les Etats-Unis repartent à la conquête de l’espace. Je dois dire que je n'avais jamais pensé à questionner le bien fondé de ces expéditions, que ce soit pour aller sur la Lune, et pourquoi pas un jour sur Mars. Je me suis toujours dit qu’il devait y avoir d’excellentes raisons scientifiques de le faire. Arnaud Saint-Martin a complètement changé mon regard sur ce sujet. Il est sociologue des sciences au CNRS, spécialiste des activités spatiales et co-auteur avec Irénée Régnauld d’une “Histoire de la conquête spatiale” (La Fabrique, 2024). Leur livre raconte la construction de l’évidence spatiale, et montre comment la communication sur les recherches scientifiques a éclipsé les usages militaires et commerciaux de l’espace. L’exploration humaine de Mars a-t-elle le moindre intérêt scientifique ? Comment s’est affirmé le paradigme de la conquête dans l’histoire spatiale ? A-t-on besoin d’aller dans l’espace ?Un épisode des Idées Larges avec Arnaud Saint-Martin, sociologue.

NASA desactiva el sensor de plasma de Voyager 2 para prolongar su misión en el espacio profundo.
NASA ha decidido apagar el detector de plasma de la Voyager 2, lanzada en 1977, con el fin de conservar energía y extender la vida útil de la sonda, que se encuentra a más de 20.5 mil millones de kilómetros de la Tierra.
No olvides seguirnos en Spotify para más noticias y análisis.*
El instrumento, que ayudó a estudiar el plasma y los campos magnéticos en el espacio interestelar, dejará de funcionar para priorizar otros cuatro dispositivos científicos. La misión de la Voyager 2 continuará al menos hasta la década de 2030, con datos que seguirán siendo valiosos para entender los límites del sistema solar y el espacio interestelar.
Apagar el detector de plasma es solo el primero de varios ajustes para prolongar la misión.
El detector de plasma en la Voyager 2 permitió descubrimientos clave sobre los planetas y el espacio profundo. Por ejemplo, detectó el Io torus en Júpiter, un anillo de plasma generado por la actividad volcánica en su luna Io. Además, ayudó a detectar el choque de terminación, donde el viento solar deja de ser supersónico. Con el paso de los años, la energía de la sonda ha disminuido, lo que ha obligado a NASA a desactivar este instrumento, ya que solo recopilaba datos cada tres meses. La Voyager 2 continuará enviando información sobre rayos cósmicos y campos magnéticos.
El principal reto de la Voyager 2 es la falta de energía. Alimentada por generadores termoeléctricos, la energía disponible ha disminuido constantemente debido a la desintegración del plutonio. Esta pérdida obliga a NASA a priorizar qué instrumentos seguirán activos para maximizar el tiempo de vida de la sonda. El equipo decidió apagar el detector de plasma, pero la misión sigue adelante, con otros dispositivos aún recolectando información valiosa sobre el espacio interestelar.
Aunque la Voyager 2 ya no utilizará el detector de plasma, seguirá midiendo rayos cósmicos y campos magnéticos hasta al menos el 2030. La misión, que originalmente debía durar solo cuatro años, ha superado todas las expectativas y sigue brindando datos vitales del espacio profundo. La NASA confía en que la decisión permitirá prolongar el funcionamiento de la sonda, que continúa su viaje fuera del sistema solar.
Este apagado no es el fin para la Voyager 2. La sonda continuará su misión y enviará información crucial sobre el entorno más allá del sistema solar. Este ajuste es parte de una estrategia para maximizar el uso de la energía que le queda, lo que permitirá seguir obteniendo datos valiosos en los próximos años.
El detector de plasma de la Voyager 2 se ha apagado para conservar energía y prolongar la misión. Aún así, la sonda seguirá recolectando datos desde los confines del espacio interestelar. Sigue atento a sus descubrimientos y más noticias del espacio profundo.

"Calls for Transforming Police Run Into Realities of Governing in Minnesota," cautioned The New York Times in 2020. "Democrats Face Pressure on Crime From a New Front: Their Base," claimed the paper of record again, in 2022. "How Biden’s recent actions on immigration could address a major issue voters have with him," announced PBS NewsHour, republishing the Associated Press, in 2024.
There’s a common ethos in Democratic politics: Do what’s popular. In recent years, a certain class of political pundits and consultants have been championing so-called “popularism,” the principle that political candidates should emphasize the issues that poll well, in everything from healthcare to labor, policing to foreign policy––and deemphasize, or sometimes outright ignore, the ones that don’t.
It seems reasonable and democratic for elected officials to pay close attention to the will of the public–and, in many cases, it is. But it’s not always this simple. Far too often, the leading proponents of popularism, chief among them Matt Yglesias and David Shor, only apply the concept when it suits a conservative agenda, ignoring, for example, that 74% of American voters support “increasing funding for child care,” 72% of Americans want to expand Social Security 71% of Americans support government funded universal pre-K. 69% of Americans support Medicare for All and so on and so on.
More often than not, leftwing agenda items that poll very well are never mentioned meanwhile that which polls well AND aligns with the interests of Wall Street and other monied interests, we are told is of utmost urgent priority.
It’s a phenomenon we’re calling on this show Selective Popularism, the selective use of polling and generic notions of popularity to push already existing rightwing and centrist agendas without needing to do the messy work of ideologically defending them.
On this episode, we look at the development and implementation of Selective Popularism, exploring how this convenient political pseudo-analysis launders the advocacy and enactment of reactionary policy as a mere reflection of what the "people" demand.
Our guest is journalist, writer and host of Jacobin's The Dig podcast, Daniel Denvir.

Tommy and Ben discuss the escalating war between Israel, Hezbollah and Iran after Iran launched 200 ballistic missiles towards Israel on Tuesday in retaliation for the Israeli strike that killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. They also talk about Nasrallah’s importance and the prospects for his replacement, the Israeli ground invasion into Lebanon, the Biden administration’s muddled message on the Middle East, and how Trump is using the Iranian strikes to attack Kamala Harris. Then, Tommy speaks with Leila Molana-Allen, who is covering the conflict in Beirut as Special Correspondent for PBS Newshour, about the war’s devastating impact on civilians in Lebanon.

Bibi made a visit to the UN, and just like his speech to Congress, the people who really needed to hear it protested by skipping it or walking out. I thought it was a great speech, but my favorite part was when he called the UN a “house of darkness” and “swamp of antisemitic bile.”
That’s the truth, and people tend to dislike truth tellers.
Here’s the full speech below.
Even if you hate Bibi, I encourage you to give it a listen.
Perhaps more important than the speech itself is what was happening during it. Nasrallah, we now know, was killed by an Israeli Airforce (IAF) strike and can no longer subject the Israeli, Lebanese, and Syrian people to untold horrors.
Let’s not forget what Nasrallah was, a butcher who indiscriminately killed civilians, including Americans. Let’s take a look at some of his “heroic” exploits.
The world is a better and safer place without Nasrallah.
For those who still believe this conflict is about land, I don’t know what to tell you at this point. Israel did everything she could to not invade Lebanon and signaled to Hezbollah in countless ways their unprovoked rocket barrages that depopulated Israel’s Northern territories were crossing redlines. Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005 unilaterally, for nothing in return. No amount of compromise will ever satiate radical Islamists who are hellbent on Israel’s destruction and who believe more broadly that Jews should be wiped out globally.
If the world had moral clarity and courage, they would seize this moment to support Israel politically so they can finish the job of defanging Iran and stabilizing the Middle East. Unfortunately, the current US administration has no such courage or conscience. You cannot compromise with people who want to kill you and I applaud Bibi for standing up to a US administration trying to impose their own suicidal foreign policy strategy on Israel.
As the IDF soldiers prepare to go into Lebanon, know they are doing so on behalf of all people. Not just so Israelis can return to their homes, but for Palestinians who are oppressed by Hamas, for Lebanese civilians who are oppressed by Hezbollah, for the Iranian people who are oppressed by the IRGC, and the Yemenites who are oppressed by the Houthis. This conflict has always been about radical Islamic fundamentalists against the rest of the world, NOT ABOUT LAND.
If we want to ever see peace in the Middle East these threats must be neutralized and Iran’s evil agenda must be confronted directly.
What does the day after look like?
Deradicalized. Secure. Peaceful. Bright.
To get there we must tread through darkness. Israel is facing an existential threat, and unless you’re fighting for your own survival on seven fronts you don’t get to criticize how she does it.
Bibi. Keep ignoring criticism from leaders who secretly and overtly seek Israel’s destruction. Keep ignoring Western Democracies who forgot how to win wars and who have lost the will to defend their own boarders.
Fight like lions. Bring the hostages home.

How can you help Israel right now?
For those in Maccabee nation looking to help, here are some ways to do it.
(1) Find non profits doing good work. Citrus and Salt has been working non-stop to provide hot meals for soldiers and their families while they are deployed. https://www.citrusandsaltcooking.com/about-5
https://www.instagram.com/citrusandsaltcooking/
(2) Write soldiers a letter.
I’m happy to publish any open letter here and to send it to IDF soldiers I know who can share them with their units. If you DM me a letter, I connect with you with an IDF pen pal (although please be patient on correspondence back).
(3) If you’re in America, vote what’s in your heart for who you believe will stand up for civil rights of Jews and who will be tough on the Iranian terror regime in November.
Al Ballesteros recently wrote, “To put things into perspective, the 22 Arab countries are 650 times larger than Israel. The Arab world is the size of the US, and has a population of nearly 500 million. Israel is the size of Massachusetts and has a population of 9.5 million, of which 21% are Arabs too. The ones who demand diversity in the West, want to kill diversity in the Middle East.”
Stop apologizing for defending the one tiny Jewish we have. I don’t see anyone else attacking the dozens of other nations with crescents and crosses on their flags.
Find a way to fight back.

Climate Change and Its Impact on Hurricanes Climate change is profoundly affecting the intensity and frequency of hurricanes, leading to more severe flooding and damage in impacted regions. This phenomenon arises from several interconnected factors that are altering the behavior of these powerful storms.
Warmer Ocean Temperatures One of the primary drivers of increased hurricane intensity is the rising temperature of ocean waters. As the Gulf of Mexico and other bodies of water warm due to climate change, they provide more energy to hurricanes. This additional heat results in greater evaporation, allowing the clouds associated with hurricanes to hold more moisture. Consequently, even hurricanes classified as Category 1 can produce an unexpected amount of rainfall, leading to severe flooding.
Rapid Intensification The recent episode discusses Hurricane Helen, which rapidly intensified from a Category 1 to a Category 4 storm. This rapid escalation is becoming more common as climate change continues to warm ocean waters. The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale categorizes hurricanes based on wind speed, but the sheer size and moisture content of the storm are equally important. The increased size of storms means they can affect larger areas, resulting in widespread damage and flooding.
Increased Rainfall and Flooding With hurricanes holding more water, the amount of rainfall associated with these storms has also increased. This is particularly concerning for areas that may lack the infrastructure to handle such heavy rainfall. The episode highlights that even a Category 1 hurricane can lead to significant flooding if it brings more rain than expected. The combination of heavy rainfall and storm surge can overwhelm drainage systems, resulting in catastrophic flooding in residential areas.
Vulnerable Infrastructure Many coastal regions have infrastructure that is not designed to cope with the increased rainfall and flooding associated with more intense hurricanes. As mentioned in the episode, areas like Florida are particularly vulnerable, with many homes and communities at risk of being inundated. The episode also notes that past storms have influenced people's decisions about evacuation, leading some to underestimate the risks associated with hurricanes.
The Role of Policy and Action The episode emphasizes the urgent need for political action to address climate change and its impacts on hurricanes. It points out that some politicians are not taking the necessary steps to mitigate climate change, ultimately affecting the safety and well-being of their constituents. The call to action is clear: voters must hold their leaders accountable and advocate for policies that address climate change to reduce the risks associated with future hurricanes.
Conclusion In summary, climate change is a significant factor contributing to the increasing intensity and frequency of hurricanes. The warming of ocean waters leads to more powerful storms that can produce severe flooding and damage. As communities confront the realities of these intensified storms, it is crucial to advocate for effective climate policies and infrastructure improvements to protect lives and property in the future.
The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale is a widely recognized system that categorizes hurricanes from 1 to 5 based on their sustained wind speeds. This scale helps communicate the potential damage a hurricane can cause, with Category 1 representing the least severe winds (74 to 95 mph) and Category 5 indicating catastrophic winds of 157 mph or higher. However, while this scale focuses primarily on wind speed, it is essential to understand that the amount of rainfall and the resulting flooding can be significant even in lower categories.
In a recent episode of the How to Protect the Ocean podcast, host Andrew Lewin discussed Hurricane Helen, which rapidly intensified from a Category 1 to a Category 4 hurricane. This rapid escalation in intensity not only increased wind speeds but also contributed to a substantial increase in rainfall. The podcast highlighted that the warming waters of the Gulf of Mexico allow hurricane clouds to hold more moisture, leading to heavier rainfall during storms. This phenomenon means that even a Category 1 hurricane can produce unexpected and dangerous amounts of rain, resulting in severe flooding.
For instance, Lewin pointed out that many residents may underestimate the risks associated with a Category 1 hurricane, believing it to be manageable based on past experiences. However, the increased capacity of clouds to hold moisture due to climate change can lead to flooding that overwhelms local infrastructure, which is often not designed to handle such extreme rainfall. This was evident in the aftermath of Hurricane Helen, where significant flooding occurred even as the storm was initially categorized as a lower-level hurricane.
Moreover, the podcast emphasized that the combination of storm surge and heavy rainfall can create a perfect storm for flooding. Storm surge refers to the rise in water level caused by the hurricane's winds pushing water toward the shore, and when this is compounded by heavy rainfall, the results can be devastating. Lewin shared examples of homes being flooded and even floating away, illustrating the dire consequences of underestimating a storm's potential based on its wind category alone.
In conclusion, while the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale provides a useful framework for understanding hurricane intensity, it is essential to consider the broader impacts of hurricanes, particularly in terms of rainfall and flooding. As climate change continues to influence weather patterns, the risks associated with hurricanes—regardless of their category—are likely to increase, making it vital for communities to prepare for the potential for significant flooding even from lower-category storms.

For more than a decade, the topic of immigration has remained at the center of national debate in the U.S. and has become an unfortunate source of rancor between the two major political parties. As a result, efforts to reform an aging and ineffective immigration system have been largely unsuccessful. Meanwhile, pressures on the U.S.-Mexican border continue to grow.
A convergence of factors, including climate change and a rise in organized crime and authoritarian leadership, is forcing desperate families from Central and South America and other parts of the globe to seek refuge in the U.S. Many experts point to these externalities and the expiration of Trump-era asylum restrictions as the combined cause for the Border Patrol's record-breaking numbers of migrant encounters in the second half of 2023.
In response to this surge and a growing backlog of asylum and immigration cases, Congress attempted to pass historic bipartisan reform under the Emergency National Security Supplemental Appropriations Act in February 2024. The bill would have increased support for border security efforts and the immigration court system. Like many previous attempts at reform, it succumbed to politics.
Why has the U.S. dragged its feet on improving immigration processes and monitoring for more than 20 years? What does this mean for frontline communities in the Ten Across region as global trade becomes more regionalized, and climate and political tensions intensify? Listen in as Ten Across founder Duke Reiter and U.S.-Mexico border relations expert David Shirk explore these questions, as well as the history of this fraught political boundary, from its establishment to its significance to modern American isolationism.

Do amerických prezidentských volieb zostáva necelých šesť týždňov. V Minnesote, Južnej Dakote a Virgínii sa už dokonca volí v predtermínoch. Kandidátka Demokratickej strany Kamala Harris zatiaľ v prieskumoch tesne vedie nad republikánskym kandidátom Donaldom Trumpom.
Americké prezidentské voľby však nerozhoduje celková podpora amerických občanov, ale výsledky v pár konkrétnych štátoch.
Kamala Harris sa teraz snaží prilákať voličov aj na tému migrácie, zatiaľ čo Donald Trump na ňu útočí cez ekonomické témy. Väčší vplyv môžu mať tento rok aj zahraničnopolitické témy - Trumpov odpor k Ukrajine môžu pocítiť aj tradične republikánske regióny, ktoré dostali pracovné príležitosti vďaka zbrojárskym firmám. Harrisovej sa zase môže vypomstiť, že dostatočne neodsúdila konanie Izraela v Pásme Gazy.
Na to, aké šance obaja kandidáti majú a čo vlastne americké prezidentské voľby môže rozhodnúť, sa v podcaste Dobré ráno Lukáš Onderčanin pýtal amerikanistu z Ostravskej univerzity Jánoa Beneša.

There are few more authoritative American journalists than the longtime NPR and PBS host Ray Suarez. So it was a real treat to sit down with Ray earlier this month in Washington DC to talk broadly about his and his family’s experience as American immigrants from Puerto Rico. Suarez is part of that golden generation of late twentieth century American journalists who exemplified both trust and authority in their coverage of the news. And listening to him today is a reminder of what America has lost because of its failure to replace guys like Suarez with a young generation of equally trusted and authoritative journalists.
Ray Suarez is the host of the public radio program and podcast "On Shifting Ground," produced by Commonwealth Club-World Affairs and KQED-FM. His next book, on the modern era of American immigration, We Are Home: Becoming American in the 21st Century, is published by Little, Brown. He has been a visiting professor of Political Science at NYU Shanghai, and the John McCloy Visiting Professor of American Studies at Amherst College. He is a graduate of New York University and the University of Chicago. Earlier in his career, Suarez was the host of the daily news program "Inside Story" from Al Jazeera America, Chief National Correspondent for The PBS NewsHour, and the host of "Talk of the Nation" from NPR. His recent podcast productions include two seasons of "Going for Broke," produced with the Economic Hardship Reporting Project, and "The Things I Thought About When My Body Was Trying to Kill Me," from Evergreen Podcasts, about cancer and recovery. Suarez’ journalism has been recognized with two DuPont-Columbia Awards, the Ruben Salazar Award from UNIDOS-US, and UCLA’s Public Policy Leadership Award for his reporting on urban America, among others.

Knowing Where to Turn to in Difficulty | The Power of Social Participation in Eco-Systems of SupportThere's so much more to the world we live in, than the corner that our lives occupy.Oftentimes, we find ourselves so busy in the routines that we've established, we forget that there are other ways we can spend our time. There are eco-systems of different communities taking place around us each day.Some of them operating within our neighbourhoods, entirely unbeknownst to us.Part of how we uncover some of these programs is through our active participation. Recognizing that being social, often extends beyond recreational, and if we find a niche that enables us, why not?It's often the paradox that we end up serving ourselves, the more we position ourselves to be of service to others. I can say personally, were it not for my own social participation and volunteer efforts, I wouldn't have known certain programs were available -- when I needed them the most.Do you have any questions?

I’ve long been an admirer of Paul Krugman of The New York Times as he’s a rational and accessible liberal economist who genuinely seems to have the best interests of the public at heart. But a recent column smacked of establishment rhetoric that bordered on gaslighting. Democrats ignore economic realities at their own peril and while most leftists expect little from sources like The New York Times, Krugman has often risen above partisan talking points making this even more disappointing.

What a Creep
Season 26, Episode 3Ronald Reagan
**“The Mental Health Systems Act 1980”
The Mental Health Systems Act of 1980 was a significant piece of legislation to improve mental health care in the United States. It was signed into law by President Jimmy Carter on October 7, 1980. The act was intended to restructure the federal approach to mental health services, emphasizing community-based care and providing grants to community mental health centers to improve their services.
When Ronald Reagan assumed the presidency in January 1981, his administration's policies marked a drastic shift from those of his predecessor, Jimmy Carter, particularly in social services and mental health care.
Trigger warning: Discussions of previous treatments for mental illness, suicide, sexual assault, and general assholery.

In this wild episode of The Blunt Letters, Micaela Elle and Jerbil take you on a journey through time as they explore how humans learned to use plants as medicine and intoxicants by watching our furry (and sometimes feathered) friends. From prehistoric cave dwellers spying on trippy goats to modern-day party animals, they uncover the surprisingly clever ways animals helped us discover everything from herbal remedies to mind-bending highs.

We’re giving ourselves a break this week from Trump, the Supreme Court, and all things 2024 to indulge in one of Matt’s all-time favorite subjects: CIA mind control experiments! In this extra-carefully-researched episode, Matt breaks down the history of the federal government’s MKULTRA program to fund research in brainwashing, mind control, and LSD on unsuspecting U.S. and (for some reason) Canadian citizens, as well as the inherent legal issues in trying to sue the CIA for something you can’t remember and for which most evidence has been destroyed. Why was the CIA funding a sadistic mad scientist in Montreal, and is there any hope of justice for the families of his victims today?

THE LIGHT OF BATTLE begins in the closing months of 1943, when Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin met in Tehran to negotiate Allied strategy against Germany and Roosevelt's surprise selection of Dwight Eisenhower to lead the invasion of France that would mark the beginning of the end of Hitler's Germany.

SERIES 2 EPISODE 218: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN
A-Block (1:44) I have been thinking for awhile now that there will come a point, this year, this election, maybe this MONTH, where we will all be saying “Can you believe we came THIS CLOSE to not making Vice President Harris the nominee?”
You have heard about THE poll: Ipsos for Reuters (Harris 42 Trump 38 Kennedy 8 third-party race; Harris 44 Trump 42 head-to-head) that's a four point shift TO Kamala Harris… in a week. But have you heard the OTHER polls? Marist for NPR and the PBS News Hour? Harris 42 Trump 42 Kennedy 7 / Trump 46 Harris 45.YouGov for Yahoo News? Harris 46 Trump 46. These numbers are from the FIRST FULL DAY of the Harris campaign and she is already in a statistical tie. Harris's favorables are at a net -2, sounds meh. Biden's? A net -18. Trump's? Net -19.
More jaw-dropping still? The top Republican internal pollster in Georgia has Harris starting off there, trailing just 48-47. And best of all: Do you agree or disagree: at 78 years old Trump is too old to work in government? Agree – 53%. Disagree – 43%. Trump's pollster issued a panicked memo lowering the bar just as the Reuters poll was coming out. Funny he never mentioned the age issue!
Polling, polling, polling.
Plus it's hard to tell what the Fascists are freaking out about the most: the polls, Kamala declaring war on their suddenly oldest-ever candidate, or their leadership's insistence that they can't call her "colored" (like Sebastian Gorka did a week ago) or use racial epithets and especially not call her "DEI." Which, of course, is what they immediately called her.
Or maybe it's J.D. Vance. There's instant buyers' remorse because he's so bad on stage that they can't tell if he's inflated or stuffed - or both.
B-Block (35:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Colombian emigre Valentina Gomez is running for Secretary of State in Missouri on an anti-immigration platform and now she's illegally used the balcony of the Speaker of the House on which to film an ad. An Ohio State Senator becomes the last Republican to threaten Civil War, and the New York Post and Senator Mike Lee both fall for the worst fake announcement of the fake death of the fake Jimmy Carter on fake stationery imaginable.
C-Block (47:10) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: I mentioned Aaron Sorkin yesterday. Time to explain the story of the day I was watching one of his TV shows and suddenly my father's favorite saying was coming out of the mouth of Aaron's lead character because Aaron had gotten in the habit of borrowing my life.

In this episode on Certificates of Deposit (CDs) as investments, we talk about the nuanced decision-making involved in purchasing CDs and whether or not CDs are good investments, particularly in a rising interest rate environment, and we explain why interest rates are the only factor you need to consider.
Wealth creation isn't solely dependent on CD rates, and we need to consider the impact of inflation and interest rates to gain a comprehensive financial perspective. The episode also explores how government strategies to combat inflation by adjusting interest rates impact not only investors, but also shape the attractiveness of CDs as an investment option.
- In a rising interest rate environment, buying CDs may seem like a good idea but it depends on your needs and goals.
- Wealth isn't created by buying a CD based on a rate. It's created by understanding why the rate may not be all that important.
- Banks look at what is known as the federal funds rate, also known as a benchmark rate. This is the rate banks charge one another to borrow money overnight that's needed to maintain reserve requirements.
- Upstream in the decision making process is the Federal Open Market Committee or FOMC, who meet throughout the year to discuss and set monetary policy. Within these policies, rates are set and typically linked to inflation.
- When those rates are set, banks may adjust rates on loans, deposits and certificates of deposit. But just like any business, banks will adjust rates to compete in their market as they seek to cover their costs and maintain a profit.
- CDs specifically are an attractive tool for banks, because unlike a deposit account, CDs actually lock up customers with a maturity date, which gives banks better control of their cash flow. The higher rates draw in customers seeking to maximize their returns.
- Rates on CDs matter, but not as much when you factor in inflation and interest rates. If inflation is at 7% and interest rates are at 5%, the net is 2%. The same is true if inflation is at 0% and interest rates are at 2%. You have to look at both numbers to get a full picture.
- When you consider the gridlock within the housing market and the amount of debt our government holds, it's hard to believe rates can remain elevated over the long term. The government is desperately trying to combat inflation by raising rates.
- These higher rates not only impact consumers, but they also impact the government. According to the Congressional Budget Office, or CBO, in June of 2023, they projected that annual net interest costs on the federal debt would total $663 billion in 2023 and almost double over the next decade. Interest payments would total around $71 trillion over the next 30 years, taking up to 35% of all federal revenue by 2053.
- These numbers are impacted by interest rates and with lower rates come lower interest payments, so the government has reasons to see rates lower than they currently are.
- The question is: Does it make sense to lock in CD rates while rates are high? It depends. If you have money sitting in a bank account that you don't need and the CD rate is offering a higher rate than your savings, then it might be a good option.
- A good idea is to compare CD rates to other options like fixed annuities and money markets since they share some similarities but also have a few key differences that could make one choice better for your situation.
- Certificates of Deposit are offered by banks as a savings account that offers a fixed interest rate over a specified period of time, ranging from one month up to five years. They carry penalties if funds are removed before maturity, and they're FDIC insured up to $250,000.
- Fixed Rate annuities are issued by insurance companies and are financial products that offer a fixed interest rate over a specified period of time. Early withdrawals can incur a penalty, and interest earnings are tax deferred until you start taking distributions. The guarantees are backed by the claims paying ability of the insurance company and are insured by what is known as the State Guarantee Association.
- Money markets are funds issued by financial institutions that are backed by highly liquid short maturity investments. Maturities usually range from overnight to just under a year, and assets can be quickly converted to cash with minimal loss of value. They are generally considered more risky than a bank, CD or insurance company annuity, and the underlying investments include such things as treasury bills, commercial paper and CDs.
- While CDs offer the safety of fixed returns, they are not devoid of risks and limitations. It's essential to understand both the micro and macro economic factors that affect CD rates before diving in.

Several recent polls show a majority of Americans, including Independents, want convicted felon Trump to drop out of the race. Yet here we are, with Trump still running and Biden’s approval ratings scraping the bottom of the historical barrel. Why? Merrick Garland, Biden’s Attorney General, is the worst possible choice for this critical moment in American history.
We all saw Trump and his family try to overthrow our democracy, tailgating before their violent attempted coup and setting up a war room just steps from the White House at the Willard Hotel. Yet, they’re still free, enriching themselves, and gearing up to finish the coup they started with Kremlin support back in 2016. None of this is normal.
The cynicism is palpable. Americans expect Trump to walk free, maybe get probation, and continue his campaign for president. This absurdity erodes our faith in already crumbling institutions. The bottom line? A Russian asset should never have come near the White House in 2016. Trump’s presidency is a catastrophic failure of the FBI, CIA, Obama’s foreign policy team, and Republican leaders who shielded him during two impeachment trials. The establishment wants us to forget this because many now profit from book deals and TV appearances, even though they’re part of the problem.
And now, to some good news! Congratulations to Mexico for electing your first female and Jewish president, Claudia Sheinbaum. This gives hope that another world is possible, one built on accountability and justice. Here’s to a better future.

In 1919, racial tensions in the US, exacerbated by changes brought about by the first wave of the Great Migration and by the return of Black soldiers who demanded equal citizenship from the country they’d fought for, boiled over into a summer of violence. In Washington, DC, 39 people died after days of fighting between white mobs and Black citizens who stood their ground and fought back. The events of the Red Summer are just one example of the ways that Black Americans have resisted white supremacy. Our guest this episode, Dr. Kellie Carter Jackson, the Michael and Denise ‘68 Associate Professor of Africana Studies and the Chair of the Africana Studies Department at Wellesley College and author of We Refuse: A Forceful History of Black Resistance, discusses five remedies by which Black people have responded and continue to respond to white supremacy.

Suffering is part of the human condition, except when it isn't.
I met a man at an ACX meetup once who claimed he has never felt anxiety, not even the littlest bit. His father was the same way, so maybe it's genetic.
Some people feel more pain than others. The “more pain” category includes some big demographic groups like redheads, who seem to feel some types of pain more intensely and may need up to 20% more anaesthetic, though their exact processing differences are complicated. But there are also various lesser-known genetic conditions that can make bizarre things - water, light touch, mild temperature changes - excruciatingly painful. The most exotic cause of this syndrome has to be platypus venom, which is both painful in and of itself and also seems to increase the body’s overall capacity to feel pain; for years after a platypus scratch, every tiny scrape will hurt worse than usual.

Justin Trudeau wants abortion pills and contraception to be “free” for all Canadians despite the fact that Canada’s birth rate is falling right now to way below the replacement level to just 1.3 children per woman.
Meanwhile the state of Louisiana has just signed a law to declare abortion drugs as “dangerous substances”.
In this video Dan Dicks of Press For Truth points out that nothing in life is “free” and how Canada has turned into a health cult under Justin Trudeau!

On April the first, the Knesset, the Israeli parliament, passed a law that allowed the Prime Minister to ban Al Jazeera. He's now enacted that law. Let me just take you through some of the definitions. Within the law, they've banned our website, including anything that has the option of entering or accessing the website, even passwords that are needed whether they're paid or not, and whether it's stored on Israeli servers or outside of Israel. The website is now inaccessible. They're also banning any device used for providing content. That includes my mobile phone. If I use that to do any kind of news gathering, then the Israelis can simply confiscate it. Our internet access provider, the guy that simply hosts aljazeera.net, is also in danger of being fined if they host the website. The Al Jazeera TV channel [is] completely banned. Transmission by any kind of content provider is also banned and holding offices or operating them in the territory of Israel by the channel. Also, once again, any devices used to provide content for the channel can be taken away by the Israelis. It's a wide ranging ban. We don't know how long it'll be in place for, but it does cover this territory of the state of Israel. May 5, 2024 Al Jazeera English on YouTube Cyril Vanier: So what does the war look like, as presented by Israeli media to Israelis? Gideon Levy: Very, very simple picture. We are the victims. We are the only victims, as usual. There was the 7th of October, and we will stick to the 7th of October, which was almost the Holocaust in the eyes of most of the Israelis and this 7th of October enables us and legitimizes us to do whatever we want in Gaza. Gaza doesn't interest us. Gaza is Hamas and Hamas, Gaza. And therefore, we should punish them all, and if possible, even kill them al, destroy them all, and we will. We have no interest to see what's the suffer[ing] of Gaza, what's the punishment of Gaza, what the innocent people of Gaza are going through. We are only interested in the brave soldiers, the hostages and the victims of the 7th of October. That's our world, and that's the world that the Israeli media as a whole is describing to its viewers for seven months now, seven days a week, 24 hours a day. Only this, you don't see Gaza. April 10, 2024 House Foreign Affairs Committee Witnesses: Samantha Power, Administrator, U.S. Agency for International Development Clips 47:15 Samantha Power: Again, you had very little, almost no child malnutrition before October 7, and you now have a massive spike. And particularly in the north, one in three kids are suffering from malnutrition. And again, the reports of famine also spreading to the south. It makes sense because so little assistance has gotten in commensurate to the needs of more than 2 million people. 1:13:55 Samantha Power: My understanding - this is something that Secretary Blinken is managing and you'll have a chance I'm sure to engage him on - but the national security memorandum 20 that was issued not long ago is taking 620 I and those elements into consideration. I think that report is due out in early May. 1:41:40 Samantha Power: You know well, because you've been in so many of these countries, we don't have an NGO out there -- This is not your traditional UN agency, where you can have like schools in a box, teachers in a box, health workers in a box. Hamas was the state and Hamas won the election back in the day. And Hamas had far too much influence on certain individuals, or even certain individuals were, it seems, potentially part of Hamas. But the fact is, the administration of schools and health systems was UNRWA. There's not an NGO or another UN agency that could perform the function of a State like that, or at least I haven't encountered one in my years of humanitarian service. 2:02:20 Samantha Power: One little parenthetical is, Israel, about a month ago, in light of the horrific allegations, made a decision that UNRWA could not participate in convoys to the north - humanitarian convoys. But what that meant was, fundamentally there could be no convoys to the north because you can't, as bombs are falling and kinetic operations are underway and terrorists are being pursued, suddenly invent an entire humanitarian infrastructure. 2:17:20 Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX): I want to ask you obviously about the very urgent situation humanitarian situation in Gaza. In your testimony, you said that the entire population of Gaza is living under the threat of famine. News reports came out recently that certain USAID officials sent a cable to the National Security Council warning that famine is already likely occurring in parts of the Gaza Strip. According to the report "famine conditions are most severe and widespread in northern Gaza, which is under Israeli control." Do you think that it's plausible or likely that parts of Gaza and particularly northern Gaza, are already experiencing famine? Samantha Power: Well, the methodology that the IPC used is one that we had our experts scrub, it's one that's relied upon in other settings, and that is their assessments and we believe that assessment is credible. Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX): So there's a famine is already occurring there. Samantha Power: That is… Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX): Yes, okay. 2:18:14 Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX): More than half of the population of Gaza is under the age of 18, as you know, and are seriously affected by the lack of access to food and nutrition. Various organizations, including the United Nations, have warned that hundreds of thousands of Palestinian children may die if they don't get necessary food and nutrition assistance in just the next two to three weeks. Has USAID made such an assessment itself? And do you have a sense of how many such children might be at risk of dying if they don't get access to food and nutrition that's currently unavailable? Samantha Power: I do not have those assessments on hand. But I will say that in northern Gaza, the rate of malnutrition, prior to October 7, was almost zero. And it is now one in three, one in three kids. But extrapolating out is hard. And I will say just with some humility, because it is so hard to move around in Gaza, because the access challenges that give rise in part to the malnutrition are so severe, it is also hard to do the kind of scaled assessments that we would wish to do. But in terms of actual severe acute malnutrition for under fives, that rate was 16% in January, and became 30% in February, and we're awaiting the the March numbers, but we expect it to -- Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX): So it got markedly worse. Samantha Power: Markedly worse. But extrapolating and giving you the overall numbers… Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX): And just to be clear, I realize you're not part of the DoD or the State Department even, working on these issues diplomatically. But is it your understanding that humanitarian assistance and food assistance is not supposed to be denied even when countries are at war with each other? Because there is this argument that if Hamas would release the hostages, if they would surrender, that this would stop, but there's certain laws of war and certain conduct that nations are supposed to follow, and that includes allowing for humanitarian assistance. Samantha Power: Correct. I mean, I will say, of course, we all agree the hostages should be released, absolutely. An absolute outrage that they had been kept this long and the horror and terror for their families, the families of those individuals I can't even contemplate but yes, food must flow. Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX): Kids can't be starved because you have two groups that are at war with each other. Samantha Power: Food must flow and food has not flowed in sufficient quantities to avoid this imminent famine in the south and these conditions that are giving rise already to child deaths in the north. 2:29:20 Samantha Power: Again, trusted partners like World Food Programme and UNICEF and others have not reported that Hamas is getting in the way of distributing humanitarian assistance. And I will say, nor are we getting those reports from the IDF who are present on the ground in Gaza. Rep. Kathy Manning (D-NC): I have been getting reports, in fact, that Hamas is targeting, punishing or hindering Palestinians who are working with the international community to provide humanitarian assistance. You have not seen any evidence of that? Samantha Power: I would be very interested in those reports, but that is not what our partners are reporting back to us. Rep. Kathy Manning (D-NC): Do you believe that Hamas is benefiting from the aid that we are providing to Gaza? Samantha Power: I mean, I don't even know how to think about that question in this moment when Hamas is on the run and being pursued across Gaza. So, you know, I don't think they are in a position, because of what the IDF is doing, to benefit per se. Would family members of Hamas potentially begin getting access at a food distribution? You know, that's possible. It's going to civilians. Rep. Kathy Manning (D-NC): Do you have any idea how Hamas fighters are getting their food? Samantha Power: I don't. Rep. Kathy Manning (D-NC): So it is a difficult balance to strike when we desperately want to make sure that innocent Palestinians don't suffer and don't starve, but we don't want to do anything to embolden Hamas. 2:46:10 Rep. Michael Lawler (R-NY): There was already serious concern with the operations of UNRWA prior to the administration's decision to cut funding. Further this past November, I led floor debate to pass the Peace and Tolerance in Palestinian Education Act, which discussed the anti-Jewish and anti-Israel curricula taught to children in Gaza and the West Bank, a curriculum taught by UNRWA employees. So while yes, we appreciate the prohibition on new funding in January, this is long overdue, as there were clear and present issues that UNRWA that look like were ignored by the administration. 2:48:45 Samantha Power: Putting people who want to eliminate another people in power is not anything that anybody would have wished. But the effect is that the governing institution had significant leverage over the UN agency that was carrying out -- Rep. Michael Lawler (R-NY): A terrorist state that has had control over this agency, which is in part why we have pushed to defund it. Would you support future year Appropriations defunding UNRWA? Samantha Power: I don't know if you've had a chance to talk to the King of Jordan, for example. Rep. Michael Lawler (R-NY): I've had dinner with him, in Jordan. Samantha Power: And about what it is going to mean for the Jordanian people to have 2 million young people basically looking for where their schools are going to get support. Now, it may be that the Europeans and others come in and address this issue and it doesn't -- Rep. Michael Lawler (R-NY): Defunding UNWRA does not mean that we don't deal with humanitarian issues. It doesn't mean that we don't -- Samantha Power: No, no but it just is the school system. Rep. Michael Lawler (R-NY): It doesn't mean that we don't deal with it, it means we find a different vehicle by which to do this, but UNRWA itself has proven to be corrupt. Samantha Power: You've been here for much of the exchange. There's no NGO, there's no UN agency that creates school systems. There's no, like, U haul where there's a school system that you just deploy in Jordan, to educate 2.6 million Jordanian kids, it just doesn't work that way. Rep. Michael Lawler (R-NY): Respectfully, being snide about it is not actually solving the issue here. The reality is UNRWA is not the vehicle by which we should be sending American taxpayer dollars at this point. It's just not. Samantha Power: We will follow the law. Rep. Michael Lawler (R-NY): Right, my question to you was, do you support moving forward? Samantha Power: I'm describing the benefits of educating young people across the region and providing health services, and I'm not seeing a viable alternative. So I would suggest -- Rep. Michael Lawler (R-NY): So you believe we should continue? Samantha Power: I think, first of all, we don't know what Gaza is going to look like after this war ends. Hopefully, Hamas will be dismantled and new institutions will be in place whereby they will take care of educating their own young people, and you won't need a UN agency to do it. But it is extremely important that we look out for young people in Gaza, it is going to do nobody any favors for them not to have access to an education Rep. Michael Lawler (R-NY): No, the fact is, on October 7, part of the reason that you had that type of terrorist attack is because of the level of hatred and anti-semitism that is taught in schools in Gaza. That is part of the problem here. And UNRWA helped in terms of allowing for that to occur under the guise of a UN agency. It is disgusting. It is shameful, and the fact that we as the United States have helped support that organization helped fund it is an embarrassment. And that's why we fought to defund it. 3:00:00 Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-PA): I am hypercritical of the alleged 12 or 15, who may have been infiltrating as Hamas, who may have participated in the October 7, horrendous barbaric attack. But you don't throw everybody and all the good work out. Because I want to ask you, if we continue this pause, if the world said we will not help you UNRWA, your however many thousands of workers who are on the ground, who keep coming to work even when their whole families are killed, what will happen with famine in Gaza, if we just shut it down? No more UNRWA. By the way, they're not educating. We know that they can't even do that now. They have incredibly important vaccines and medical aid to to be a part of, but the essentialness of food and water. What happens if we continue this disinformation campaign of 'Defund UNRWA'? Samantha Power: Well, first, thank you for bringing some facts into the conversation that I probably should have raised before, including just the horrific loss of life for those who work for UNRWA. And in general, you know, more than 228 workers killed by IDF or in my IDF military operations to this point, including, most recently of course, the World Central Kitchen colleagues, devastatingly. And thank you also for reminding us all. UNRWA is an organization in Gaza alone of 13,000 people. The vast majority of those people have not been propagating hate but have been actually trying to educate young people. The literacy rate in Gaza-West Bank, I think, is something like 99%. It's one of the most effective literacy efforts in any of the places that USAID works. In terms of what would happen if the whole thing shut down....Right now, it looks like other countries are stepping up to avert that scenario. But, you know, I just cannot overstate how chaotic and how horrific the conditions in Gaza are. You've spoken to them. The visuals speak to the level of destruction. There's no work-around for the infrastructure that they provide. After the war, when there's a new administration of Gaza, if that comes about, obviously, that's itself extremely complicated. You know, the question of who is providing education as they try to rebuild virtually everything from scratch and the education and the health sector? You know, some of these questions will be will be addressed. But right now, there is no way to avert large scale famine without relying on the humanitarian backbone that has been enriched for decades, and that remains UNRWA today. We are going to follow the law, we are going to work through other partners. But, I started to say this earlier: even the government of Israel, which had banned UNRWA's participation in convoys, because of the food crisis - and US engagement, I hope - has now decided that UNRWA can in fact be part of convoys going to the North because they recognize there's just no other way. Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-PA): Right. And I want to commend to anybody to please meet with the director of UNRWA who is stationed in Rafah: a 20-plus-year US military veteran. I don't know how people stay at this kind of work with the risks that they are taking, but they are there.

Is it time to start worrying about the Germans again? Perhaps, at least according to Jacob Kushner, the author of LOOK AWAY: A True Story of Murders, Bombings, and a Far-Right Campaign to Rid Germany of Immigrants, a book about an eleven year terror campaign by the National Socialist Underground (NSU). Kushner is ambivalent about the broad appeal in Germany of the NSU’s murderous violence against immgrants, but he does suggest that this recent chapter in German history suggests that the country isn’t quite the peaceful haven of toleration that some previous KEEN ON guests, like Peter Gumbel, believe it to be.

Last December, the highest court in the State of Colorado ruled that Donald Trump’s involvement with January 6 disqualified him from holding the office of president. On May 4, the Supreme Court voted unanimously to overturn this decision, clearing the way for Trump to appear on the ballot in all fifty states.
Naturally, at Wisdom of Crowds these events got us thinking about the big questions. When it comes to eligibility for office, who should have the final say — the Supreme Court, or the voters? What is more important for a democracy: Elections or rights? And where do rights come from, anyway?At the moment, these questions are mostly being discussed on the Left side of the aisle, so we invited two prominent left-wing writers to argue about them in a live show. Osita Nwanevu is a journalist for The New Republic, currently writing a book about American democracy. Samuel Moyn is a law professor at Yale University, whose latest book is titled, Liberalism Against Itself: Cold War Intellectuals and the Making of Our Times. For paid subscribers, the bonus content includes a raucous Q & A session with our live audience.
Enjoy a highly informed discussion about the most important political questions of our time, find out why Damir considers both Osita and Sam to be “revolutionaries,” and think about which branch of the US government really deserves to be called “a Council of Elders.”

NHTSA has finally released a rule for Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB). We've been asking for one since 2015 so... 3 cheers for NHTSA? But the rules don't go into effect until 2029. Ugh.

Ford Blue Cruise is under investation, Waymo says the bad driving of it's robotaxi was on purpose and we cover the latest recalls.

A few weeks back, I published a conversation that I had with Christian Baxter, who happens to still identify as a Christian, as a part of his spiritual journey, and not just his name. And the same day, I had a call scheduled with another guy named Christian, and though he doesn’t self-identify with that label any more, I think you’ll see pretty quickly how spiritually attuned he is in his life.
We know each other from the Flow Genome Project, I knew that he was struck by Jordan Hall’s conversion, and I learned from a shared group discussion that the foundational faith of his family growing up, was Mormonism. And if you haven’t seen some of my earlier videos, you might not know that this was the faith that served as a catalyst to the deepening of my own spiritual journey way back in Jr. High.
But if you think this is just going to be a story about one man’s losing his faith in Mormonism, you’ll be very surprise to hear about the different drug induced and drug assisted insights into the divine that Christian has experienced in the meantime.
Christian actually got married between the time that we recorded this, and the time that I was able to edit and publish it, on Eclipse Day, no less. So happy wedding and eclipse day to Christian, and happy viewing

I used to say that sexuality shouldn’t define identity. As Christians our identity is first as children of God and followers of Jesus before anything else. I realize now that as a heterosexual woman, being defined by something other than my sexuality is a privilege.
In this episode I'll start with my own journey from quiet support of my friend to fully affirming of LGBTQ+ people. This was prompted by reports that the Church of the Nazarene had removed the senior pastor of San Diego First Church for advocating for more open conversations around same sex marriage. I'll talk about the controversy in the church and expand to discuss the affects of evangelism and colonialism on anti-LGBTQ+ ideas internationally. Real light stuff, right?

This week marks ten years since the largest mass killing in Egypt's modern history. In 2013, Egyptian soldiers overran a protest camp in Cairo's Rabaa Square, killing hundreds. Six weeks earlier, the military had overthrown the elected government of Muhammad Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood. Supporters had created a protest city and its destruction still reverberates today.

What about the rights of an injured worker’s spouse and family members after a work-related injury or illness? Guest Michael Duff, law professor, former blue-collar worker, and expert on Workers’ Comp walks us through the California “Kuciemba Case,” a case where an employer may have violated COVID-19 pandemic regulations, infecting several workers. Victim Peter Kuciemba was infected and later his wife contracted the illness and ended up on a ventilator. Is he entitled to Workers’ Compensation? Beyond that, what about his wife? This is a tough issue that comes down to what’s called the “exclusive remedy,” meaning Workers’ Compensation protections are understood to be responsible for workplace injuries, replacing civil tort liability. But if a spouse isn’t part of the employment contract, does “The Grand Bargain” apply? Remember the sickened meat packers during the pandemic. The legal system said family members of workers who infected them, as a result of contracting the illness at work, cannot sue the workplace. Workers’ Comp trumps the civil case, even in case of employer negligence. Now, let’s go deeper. What about a non-family member, such as a romantic interest, or a friend? This episode goes down a rabbit hole. But if you’re an attorney representing workers in workplace injuries, you’ve got to be thinking this way. How far does exclusive remedy go? Mentioned in this Episode: “At Least 59,000 U.S. Meat Workers Caught COVID-19 In 2020, 269 Died,” PBS Newshour Episode: https://legaltalknetwork.com/podcasts/workers-comp-matters/2023/08/for-every-wrong-a-remedy-when-a-workplace-event-harms-a-family

Why aren’t Democrats doing much better in elections for Congress and also in state races? We explore several reasons. One is that Democrats have been losing the support of many black, white and hispanic working class voters. We heard a forceful argument about that in "How Do We Fix It?" episode #389 with Ruy Teixeira.
In this show we expand the argument and look at another group of voters often ignored by Democratic party leaders— Christians and especially Catholics who are among the largest group of swing voters.
This is a shared podcast with "Talkin' Politics and Religion Without Killin' Each Other". Their show and ours are members of the Democracy Group podcast network, Our guest is Lanae Erickson, Senior Vice President at Third Way, a center-left think tank that champions pragmatic liberal ideas. She spoke earlier this year with Talkin' Politics and Religion's host, Corey Nathan. Thank you, Corey, for giving us permission to share an edited version of a rich and thoughtful conversation.
We hear from Lanae about why she's a pragmatic progressive. She argues that the only way America can make lasting progress on major issues is to include different sides in a debate. We learn why so many elected officials and activists treat public policy as an all or nothing proposition.
"I would say we should try to get what we could done, and then do it again, do it again and do it again, instead of holding out and making the perfect the enemy of the good," she told Corey Nathan.
As Senior Vice President for Social Policy & Politics at Third Way, Lanae tackles hot-button issues like immigration, abortion, religious liberty, education and guns. Previously, Lanae served as a member of President Obama’s Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships.
Her commentary has been featured in The Washington Post, The New York Times, USA Today, Politico and PBS NewsHour. Lanae is also principal second violinist in Washington DC's Capital City Symphony.

Besides the need to attract attention, what are some other drivers behind the news media's tendency to "catastrophize the normal"? To what extent does paltering take place on the politically left and right ends of the new media spectrum? Should journalists try to be as objective and unbiased as possible, or should they strive to make a difference in the world by highlighting particular issues that are important to them? Is the US on the verge of a civil war? Are prophecies of civil war self-fulfilling? Is it (and should it be) okay to reference certain taboo phrases by saying them explicitly? To what extent do journalists pull their punches because they fear angering the wrong crowd?

Teaching kids about how money works feels ever more important in a world where we pay for things by waving our phones, and where a couple of taps brings us anything we want to our doorstep twenty-four hours later. Sometimes we feel like protecting our kids from the realities of our financial situations is what is most appropriate. But somewhere along the way we can start teaching kids financial literacy by making our family decisions around money concrete and transparent. In this episode we discuss:
our children's many "blind spots" around money and spending (and what were once our own)
the differences in spending when people use credit cards versus cash
how to discuss your family's "money values" in terms of what you are (and are not) willing to spend

He is a senior columnist for The Daily Beast, and his work has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, GQ, The Washington Post, The Week, Roll Call, Politico, The Telegraph, The Independent, and The Guardian. He previously served as senior contributor for The Daily Caller, and before that, as a columnist for AOL’s Politics Daily.
Lewis dissects the day’s issues in conversation with other thinkers, authors, and newsmakers on his podcast Matt Lewis and the News, and co-hosts The DMZ Show with liberal pundit Bill Scher.

Former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky was convicted in 2012 on 45 counts related to sexually assaulting 10 boys.
The Sandusky scandal spawned new laws on the state level and new rules and offices to handle sexual assaults and harassment and other misconduct complaints at Penn State.
Eleven years later, a year-long investigation by Spotlight PA and the Centre Daily Times finds "distrust is rampant and many fear retaliation if they speak up." The report, which came out Wednesday, is called “Missed Conduct.”
Spotlight PA investigative reporter Wyatt Massey appeared on The Spark Wednesday and talked about one office in particular, "The university created this Office of Ethics and Compliance, which was supposed to be a real central piece of these reforms. It was designed to kind of be an independent investigative unit, so it would answer directly to the board of trustees rather than going through a bunch of administrators. And we found over a two-year period from basically late 2018 to early 2020, that that unit really struggled to handle complaints of misconduct, the types of complaints that that unit was designed to prevent. So, complaints of misconduct allege retaliation, and this was by the chief ethics officer. Basically, the person that was running the ethics office was accused of misconduct within the office designed to stop misconduct."
The report described that misconduct as the ethics officer of creating a hostile work environment, including mocking employees' physical appearances.
Massey described a lack of communication at Penn State as well,"The university has kind of a series of offices that do investigative or compliance work. And ten years after creating the system, there is not a university wide system for tracking reports of misconduct. So, one of the examples we found was a professor in late 2021 raised the complaint, and he even admitted it was a relatively minor thing, but he got no response for a year-and-a-half. And the university, when he confronted them, they said, well, there is maybe communication gaps, Maybe your report went to the wrong office and it got routed to another one and no one followed up."
The report indicates that transparency is an issue at Penn State when it comes to complaints and reports of misconduct. Penn State is not subject to all aspects of Pennsylvania's Right-to-Know law that was enacted in 2008.

In my first year of law school, I sat with my classmates in the school’s common area. We were full of nerves, still trying to figure out who was a friend and who was going to hide the books in the library to try and get a competitive edge. A weary third-year law student spotted us and approached with sage advice. She looked me dead in the eyes and told me to take the money and run - to Paris, to Prague, it didn’t matter where. She just wanted me to save myself from law school. I love learning so the advice didn’t call to me. But Lieutenant Kevin Furth, staring down the barrel of jump school with the Army, decided to do just that… to take the money and run.
I used the appellate court opinions:
ACCA, CAAF
And referenced information from:
Furth's Appellate Brief, Court Listener, CAAFlog, UCMJ Defense, Army Pubs, Go Army, Operation Military Kids, PBS, The NY Times, Cornell, and the Vance opinion.

Supreme Court Delivers Landmark Rulings On Affirmative Action & Student Loans
The Supreme Court recently made two significant rulings, one striking down affirmative action in college admissions and the other rejecting President Biden’s plan to discharge federal student loan debt. The affirmative action decision mandates that colleges and universities seek alternate means to achieve diversity within student bodies, overturning a precedent of 45 years. This landmark 6-3 ruling, led by Chief Justice John Roberts, was criticized by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who argued that the decision “rolls back decades of precedent and momentous progress.” The ruling indicated that while students may write about how race has impacted their lives, institutions may not apply a regime that establishes a race-based preference for admissions, a verdict that has prompted institutions to reassess their commitment to diversity. In a separate ruling, the court struck down President Biden’s plan to forgive some or all federal student loan debt, arguing that the administration exceeded its authority under a 2003 law. This 6-3 decision means that the HEROES Act does not grant the Secretary of Education the ability to forgive $430 billion of student loan debt. These rulings have deep implications for higher education and financial policies while reflecting the increasing conservatism of the Supreme Court.

Tim Keller and Michael Gerson were both at the top of the list of guests we wanted to have on TP&R. Sadly we lost both gentlemen within the last year. Mike passed away last November and Tim died in May of this year. But we’re lucky to have Jonathan Rauch and Pete Wehner for this conversation because they were all friends and had a big impact on each other’s lives.
Timothy Keller was senior pastor at Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Manhattan. As Sam Roberts described him in The New York Times, Tim was "...a best-selling author and theorist of Christianity who performed a modern miracle of his own — establishing a theologically orthodox church in Manhattan that attracted thousands of young professional followers..."
Michael Gerson was a nationally syndicated columnist writing for The Washington Post from 2007 until his death on Nov. 17, 2022. He was the author of HEROIC CONSERVATISM and co-author of CITY OF MAN: RELIGION AND POLITICS IN A NEW ERA. He appeared regularly on the “PBS NewsHour,” “Face the Nation” and other programs. Gerson served as senior adviser at One, a bipartisan organization dedicated to the fight against extreme poverty and preventable diseases. Until 2006, Gerson was a top aide to President George W. Bush as assistant to the president for policy and strategic planning.

Hi 👋 good mornin 🌄 just a heads up I am a Democratic Party candidate here in Arizona ! I'm running for three positions at the same time, one on each level local state and national. Here in the state I have filed statement of interest to run for Senator to replace Kirsten Cinema and believe you me I am going to have scorched Earth policy if she runs! 😆 I have already put together a series of videos of other creators who points out all the terrible things about Senator Cinema what a disappointment she turned out to be! But anyway, I'm running for Senator in Arizona and if I get enough signatures on my nominating petition I will run against gallego; although now that gallego has entered the race I feel that we have an excellent Democratic candidate so I can focus on another election. But if I get to go head to head against gallego I would not say no to that! But he's obviously far more popular or well known than I am name recognition is everything almost everything. So I'm running for president as well because I'm better qualified then Joe Biden or Trump or pretty much anyone else in this country because I'm not corrupt, I have more academic degrees from Oxford Berkeley etc then the whole of Congress! 😆 And quite frankly nobody can do the stellar job that I'm going to do! We need a progressive we need a woman and we need a woman who will relentlessly Roots out corruption in this country and knows how to do it! I'm podcasting my journey thank you for 176 k, btw! Soon filing to run for president as soon as I figure that out. But I'm completely geofenced and surveilled 24/7 so that nothing I do or say or post is ever seen by anybody! So probably I won't be able to win for president just because it's like David and Goliath! So my local choice is Justice of the peace, an elected judge! Which means free law school to me and a chance to be a judge!! I think I would make an awesome judge 😁 for Pima county. Have a wonderful day everybody! We need to #SHUTHIMDOWN, TOTALLY !!! EVERYBODY CALL DOJ 202-514-2000 IT'S A FREE F PHONE CALL YOU LAZY B**! 😆 Talking points for patriots! SEARCH THE REST OF HIS PROPERTIES INCLUDING AN IVANA'S GRAVESITE! IT'S PROBABLY WHY HE BURIES HER THERE ON HIS GOLF COURSE! THAT & A TAX BREAK 😆 PS IVANA'S DEATH WAS NEVER INVESTIGATED PROPERLY! AS PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE 2024 I DEMAND A NEW ONE! SEIZE HIS ILL-GOTTEN ASSETS, GRIFTING OFF THE PUBLIC, NOW! THROW HIM IN F PRISON FOR LIFE!LIKE EVERY OTHER PERSON ACCUSED OF VIOLATING ESPIONAGE ACT!! DISQUALIFY HIM 2 & 1/2 YEARS AGO FROM RUNNING FOR OFFICE UNDER 14TH AMENDMENT!!!
No doubt for her FUHRER to be able to intimidate the witnesses!

A year ago today, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and erased the constitutional right to seek an abortion.

If you’ve recently chatted with a well-informed liberal – the kind who reads the NY Times or watches PBS NewsHour – you’ve heard encouraging things about the economy. You’ve heard that Biden’s doing a good job. Unemployment has gone down, wages have gone up. Why can’t you be happy about it all?
To celebrate all this good news, we brought back our friend, Yeva Nersisyan, associate professor of economics at Franklin and Marshall College, research scholar at the Levy Institute, and frequent collaborator with MMT OG Randy Wray.
Yes, unemployment rates are lower, but we know those numbers don’t tell the true story. Or have you already forgotten our episode with Pavlina, just two short weeks ago? Yes, wages have gone up. But so has inflation. And in the race between inflation and wages, inflation is winning. Speaking of which, our Macro N Cheese family knows that one thing worse than inflation is the Fed’s cure for it.
In this episode, Steve and Yeva look at the disconnect between the ongoing immiseration of the working class and the rosy scenario painted by politicians, pundits, and economists. At least one of those groups should know better. They discuss the looming student debt crisis, and the effect of the Fed’s interest rate hikes on student loans.
When discussing MMT-informed solutions, Yeva warns:
“You have to be consistent — whether it's the Trump tax cuts, whether it's the social security question. And you have to consistently say: the question of taxes and government spending, it should not be about deficits, should not be about debt, it should be about: is this the right thing for the economy? Is this what the people want? Is this what the people need? That's what you need to start with. And just because you want to raise taxes on the wealthy, which I do too, but I don't want to tie it to things like social security, because I think that's just a losing argument, and that's just not true.”
MMT points toward answers, if anyone is asking.
Yeva Nersisyan is an associate professor of economics at Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster, PA, and a research scholar at the Levy Economics Institute of Bard College.

Judy Woodruff is not done asking questions. A decorated and respected journalist, she anchored the PBS NewsHour for 15 years until she stepped down in 2022. Now, at age 79, she is traveling the country to answer: what is at the root of the division and disconnection our country faces today? And how do we fix that? To understand across different perspectives requires the ability to listen. At 79, Judy has honed this skill. In the decades Judy spent reporting on Americans and our politics (starting when Jimmy Carter declared his run for president) as well as raising her three children, she has seen enormous change in how people relate to one another. In this episode, we hear her views on the value of really listening to others and having respect, even when we might not agree with or understand, someone.

Cet épisode spécial d’Artéfactualité présente des conversations avec des Ainés pieds-noirs sur la décolonisation de l’archéologie et la façon dont les Pieds-Noirs conçoivent l’histoire, le temps et le territoire. Il commence par une visite du site de Wally’s Beach, dans le sud-ouest de l’Alberta, où vivent les nations Siksika, Kainai et Piikani de la Confédération des Pieds-Noirs.
Puis, il nous transporte au précipice à bisons Head-Smashed-In, site inscrit au patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO, où Gabriel Yanicki, conservateur du Musée pour l’archéologie occidentale, écoute des récits sur les Pieds-Noirs. Ces histoires parlent de peuples qui ont toujours habité cette région, comme en témoignent les ossements et autres outils de pierre retrouvés éparpillés à la surface du site archéologique de Wally’s Beach. Ces objets racontent une remarquable histoire de continuité qui précède les contacts européens, qui remontent à quelques siècles à peine. Des ossements de chevaux et de chameaux dépecés, vieux de plus de 13 300 ans, prouvent – comme en témoignent leurs récits, chants et cérémonies – que les Pieds-Noirs sont ici depuis toujours.
L’épisode présente les Ainés piikanis Velma Crowshoe, Jerry Potts et Jacob Potts; le cérémonialiste piikani et expert en savoirs traditionnels siksikas, Kent Ayoungman; Stan Knowlton, chef de l’interprétation culturelle au précipice à bisons Head-Smashed-In; et le professeur Leroy Little Bear, vice-recteur de l’Université de Lethbridge, en Alberta.

انجمن کنترل تسلیحات اعلام کرده که نصب دوربینهای نظارتی در برخی تاسیسات هستهای ایران از سر گرفته شده است. به تاکید رافائل گروسی، مدیرکل آژانس، این روند به راستیآزماییها و تنشزدایی از برنامه اتمی ایران کمک میکند.به گزارش خبرگزاری اتریش (apa) و به نقل از انجمن کنترل تسلیحات، نصب دوربینهای نظارتی در شماری از سایتهای اتمی ایران آغاز شده است. مدیرکل آژانس بینالمللی انرژی اتمی، اوایل آوریل در مصاحبهای با PBS NewsHour نسبت به اتصال مجدد برخی سیستمهای نظارت آنلاین و نصب دوربینها در برخی سایتهای اتمی ایران ابراز امیدواری کرده و گفته بود که این روند چند هفته طول میکشد.در این گفتوگو رافائل گروسی یادآور شد که این گام به رفع تنش و راستیآزمایی طرحهای هستهای جمهوری اسلامی کمک میکند اما مشخص نکرد که آیا سایت فردو در حوالی قم نیز جزو تاسیسات تحت نظارت خواهد بود یا خیر.لارنس نورمن، خبرنگار والاستریت ژورنال نیز در توییتر نوشته که شنیدههایش تایید شدهاند و آژانس توانسته نصب مجدد دوربینهای نظارتی جمعآوری شده و سایر تجهیزات مرتبط در سایتهای اتمی ایران را شروع کند. او گفته که این روند در چند روز آتی کامل میشود.نورمن در پیامهای تکمیلی دیگر عنوان کرده که ایران دسترسی به فایلهای ذخیره شده دوربینها از فوریه ۲۰۲۱ را فراهم نکرده و بنابراین نصب مجدد تجهیزات نظارتی ارزش محدودی دارد.انجمن کنترل تسلیحات که در واشنگتن قرار دارد، میگوید با وجود پیشرفتها در اجرای تفاهم دو جانبه آژانس و تهران، مشخص نیست که توان نظارتی این نهاد بر فعالیتهای اتمی ایران چقدر زیاد شده است.گروسی همچنین در مورد اینکه آیا آژانس بینالمللی انرژی اتمی به فیلمهای ضبطشده از دوربینها دسترسی خواهد داشت یا خیر، یا تهران تنها در صورت احیای برجام یا مذاکره برای توافق جدید، اطلاعات را تحویل خواهد داد، اظهار نظری نکرده است.مقامات مسئول جمهری اسلامی به گزارش انجمن کنترل تسلیحات واکنشی نشان ندادهاند اما خبرگزاری ایسنا، خبر را تحت عنوان "ادعاهای خبرنگار وال استریت ژورنال" منتشر کرده است.پس از آن که تهران در تابستان ۲۰۲۲ دوربینهای نظارتی برخی از تاسیسات و مانیتوری را که غنیسازی اورانیوم در نیروگاه نطنز را ردیابی میکرد، از کار انداخت، نگرانیهای گستردهای نسبت به شفافیت برنامه هستهای ایران ایجاد شد و گروسی نسبت به چالشها و شکافهای تازه هشدار داد.چهارم مارس ۲۰۲۳ و در آخرین سفر گروسی به تهران، ایران موافقت کرد تجهیزات نظارتی خاصی را دوباره نصب کند. در این توافق سازمان انرژی اتمی ایران "داوطلبانه" متعهد شد که به آژانس امکان راستیآزمایی و نظارتهای مناسب را بدهد. روایت مقامات ایرانی از این توافق اما با آنچه گروسی در بازگشت به وین اعلام کرد، تفاوت داشت.اقدامات تلافیجویانه ایرانایران در فوریه ۲۰۲۱ در واکنش به تحریمهای آمریکا، دسترسی آژانس به برخی تاسیسات اتمی خود را معلق کرد اما اجازه داد که نظارت بر این مکانها از طریق دوربینها ادامه یابد.وقتی رافائل گروسی بیانیهای داد که اورانیوم غنیشده ایران به ۱۸ برابر حد مجاز در برجام رسیده و شورای حکام آژانس قطعنامهای درباره ابهامات مربوط به ذرات اورانیوم یافت شده در سه مکان هستهای اعلام نشده صادر کرد، تهران ۲۷ دوربین نظارتی، از جمله در سایت نطنز را خاموش کرد. سازمان انرژی اتمی ایران گفت این امکان از روی "حسن نیت" به آژانس داده شده بود و جزو تعهدات تهران نبود.اکنون نیز با وجود تایید گروسی مبنی بر اجرا شدن توافق و پیشرفتهای حاصله، معلوم نیست آژانس چقدر از تقویت نظارتها سود خواهد برد. آژانس در ماه ژانویه در سایت فردو شواهدی از اورانیوم ۸۴درصد غنی شده یافته بود که بسیار بالاتر از سطح مجاز ۶۰درصد است.گروسی یک ماه و نیم قبل در اندیشکده "شورای روابط خارجی" آمریکا با احتیاط گفته بود که پس از سفر به ایران و توافق حاصله پیشرفتهایی به دست آمده اما باید منتظر ماند و دید.بر اساس برجام، ایران به مدت ۱۵ سال از غنیسازی اورانیوم در تاسیسات فردو منع شده و بر همین اساس آژانس بینالمللی انرژی اتمی در این سایت به خلاف تاسیسات نطنز، دستگاههای نظارتی آنلاین نصب نکرد.چشم انداز هرگونه توافق دیپلماتیک بین ایالات متحده و ایران تاریک به نظر میرسد. مقامات ایران و کشورهای اروپایی شریک برجام (فرانسه، آلمان و بریتانیا) در ماه مارس در نروژ دیدار کردند، اما به نظر نمیرسد که بحثها درباره برنامه هستهای ایران و برجام به پیشرفتی منجر شده باشد.در عین حال گروه هفت کشور صنعتی در اجلاس اخیر خواهان حل دیپلماتیک بحران هستهای ایران شد و از برجام به عنوان «مرجع مفید» یاد کرد.

Former President Donald Trump is no stranger to controversy, but his legal troubles have reached a new level. In a historic moment for American history, Trump became the first former or sitting US president to face criminal charges in a Manhattan courtroom. However, this is just the beginning of his legal woes. State and local officials in Georgia are closely monitoring the developments, waiting to see if Fulton County District Attorney Fani T. Willis will file charges related to alleged efforts by Trump and his allies to overturn the state's 2020 presidential election results.In this episode, we examine the significance of Trump's indictment in New York and the potential implications for the ongoing election interference investigation in Georgia to gain a comprehensive understanding of the legal jeopardy that Trump faces and the potential impact on our politics.Worse yet, the politicization of these cases could further polarize both people and the parties into the fringes.

Award-winning journalists — Arezou Rezvani, Jane Ferguson, Zahra Joya and Berkeley Journalism Dean Geeta Anand — discuss women’s rights in Iran and Afghanistan, and the challenges of reporting as women and about women in these countries.
“I was last in Afghanistan in November of 2021, so the Taliban had been in control for several months,” says Ferguson, a PBS NewsHour correspondent. "Obviously, you’re there, you’re able to make connections with the women — you can talk to them on encrypted services, you can go and meet with them in places. But since then, I’ve been reporting from afar and you have to make connection with young women. And then, you have to try to do it as responsibly as you can. So, we’ll be interviewing them, hiding their faces, in some cases warping their voices, and you can really just take testimony from them on what life is like. It’s hugely challenging."
This March 23 event was organized by the Pulitzer Center and UC Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism. Support comes from the PIMCO Foundation.

If you enjoy this podcast, you may want to read Pollitt’s book, Pro: Reclaiming Abortion Rights (Picador, 2014).
At the beginning of this podcast, you’ll listen to a demonstration: “Abortion saves lives,” one group shouts; “You’re sacrificing the mothers for the children,” another yells.
The battle over women’s bodies has always been given to rhetorical extremes. Think about the imagery—a fetus supposedly writhing with pain and fear in the widely-distributed 1984 anti-abortion propaganda film, The Silent Scream. Meanwhile, pro-abortion demonstrators insist with their own imagery that without legal abortion, women will gouge at their uteruses with coat hangers and knitting needles.
While fetuses experience neither pain nor fear, women did, and do, die without safe, accessible, and legal abortion. How many? Historian Karissa Haugeberg estimates that before 1973 when Roe v. Wade decriminalized the procedure in all 50 states, a fifth to a quarter of all pregnancies ended in abortion. Then, approximately 200 women died every year from a secret, illegal procedure often done by a medical professional. While recorded abortions increased dramatically after legalization, deaths from terminating a pregnancy dropped equally dramatically to fewer than two dozen a year. And as birth control becomes more effective, the rate of abortion has plummeted.
Yet right-wing activists and legislators want a return to a pre-Roe world, one in which effective birth control is less accessible, and women of color are far more likely to die or lose their fertility from an illegal procedure than white women. They imagine a society where pregnant Americans, no matter how young or how conception occurred, will be forced to give birth unless they can make their way to a sanctuary state or are willing to risk prison and death for an illegal abortion closer to home.
In fact, the Dobbs world is more dangerous than the pre-Roe United States, where women and girls of some means, usually white, could go abroad to terminate a pregnancy without penalty. Or they might access what was called “therapeutic abortion,” a legal medical procedure available if the mental or physical health of a woman or girl was judged by a medical professional to be endangered by carrying a pregnancy to term.
Today, in many states, all abortions of viable embryos and fetuses are banned regardless of why are where they occur.
But feminist journalistKatha Pollitt asks: why can’t all Americans admit that abortion is, and should be, a normal event in a woman’s life? Why can’t feminists reclaim abortion for what it is—a common medical procedure that permits pregnant people to take charge of their physical, psychological, and economic health?
An award-winning poet, essayist, and longtime columnist for The Nation, Pollitt made this powerful argument in 2014 in Pro: Reclaiming Abortion Rights, a book I decided to revisit as we anticipate the one-year anniversary of the Dobbs leak, the day we understood that the battle for abortion rights would have to be renewed.
Program Notes:
-
John Yang’s report on the leaked draft opinion of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization appeared on the PBS NewsHouron May 3, 2022.
-
Claire references the anti-abortion propaganda film, The Silent Scream: you can watch it here.
-
You can find Kristin Haugemann’s discussion of how women experienced abortion immediately before Roe here. For abortion trends over the last 60 years, see Jeff Diamant and Besheer Mohamed, “What the data says about abortion in the U.S.,” Pew Research Center, January 11, 2023.
-
The full story on a 10-year-old girl denied an abortion in Ohio in July 2022 is here, and you can read a second story about a Louisiana woman instructed by the state court that she had to carry to term a fetus destined to die at birth here. Claire also notes that many women denied the right to abort a dying fetus in Dobbs states will risk death from advanced septic shock.
-
You can listen to CBS News correspondent Fred Graham’s interview with “Mary Doe,” one of the two anonymous plaintiffs in Roe v. Wade, broadcast on January 22, 1973.
-
Katha argues that women rarely have abortions for acute medical conditions: the data shows that 60% of patients served are having their first abortion, nearly all are in their first trimester, and more than half already have two or more children and are choosing to limit the further growth of their families. A quarter of women will have at least one abortion during the course of their reproductive lives.
-
Does the United States ask men asked to shoulder the true “cost” of childcare? According to the Good Men Project, “view child support as `extortion’ instead of taking care of their responsibilities to their children. A 2017 government estimate shows that noncustodial parents, the vast majority of whom are men, owed over $114 billion in past-due child support. And while men have done more childcare since the pandemic, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer (March 23, 2023), “mothers performed 52% of child care, while 43% of the responsibility was shared. Fathers reported doing the majority of child care 5% of the time.”
-
Claire mentions historian Jennifer Holland’s Tiny You: A Western History of the Anti-Abortion Movement (University of California Press, 2020): you can read an interview with Holland here. She also notes that many women don’t know they are pregnant: about 30% of fertile women have periods that are so irregular that a pregnancy can advance well beyond six weeks before it is detected.
-
Is Salt Lake City, Utah, the porn-watching capital of the United States, as Claire says? That was true in 2009, but according to Pornhub, the top state for porn watching is deep-red Kansas, and the top city.
-
Katha and Claire discuss the popularity of abortion in the United States: for a study done by the Pew Center immediately after the decision in Dobbs, go here.

Medicaid’s Home and Community Based Services are a wonderful thing in theory. But these supports — which in many states includes in-home caregivers — can be difficult to make work in practice, especially for children. Part of the issue, as illustrated this week by Lenore Eklund in her Where is the Manual for This?! editorial cartoon for this month, is the web of restrictions and limits on what exactly these hours can be used for. Some of them make sense, but most do not, especially in the context of a family and a child’s development.
The above restrictions and limits may not apply in all states, but these were taken directly from a presentation given by Oregon’s Office of Developmental Disabilities Services on Feb. 6. What are some restrictions and limits on disability supports that drive you nuts in your state? Post in the comments or reply to this email if you’re a subscriber.

• From PBS: “Supreme Court unanimously rules for deaf student in education case”
The Supreme Court ruled unanimously Tuesday for a deaf student who sued his public school system for providing an inadequate education. The case is significant for other disabled students who allege they were failed by school officials.
The case the justices ruled in involves Miguel Luna Perez, who attended public school in Sturgis, Michigan. Perez’s lawyers told the court that for 12 years the school system neglected the boy and lied to his parents about the progress he was making, permanently stunting his ability to communicate.
The justices ruled that after Perez and his family settled a complaint against the school system — with officials agreeing to pay for additional schooling and sign language instruction — they could pursue money damages under a different federal law. Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in an eight-page opinion for the court that the case “holds consequences not just for Mr. Perez but for a great many children with disabilities and their parents.”
[…]Perez’s family and the school district ultimately settled the IDEA claims. The district agreed to pay for extra schooling and sign language instruction for Perez and his family, among other things, and he graduated from the Michigan School for the deafin 2020. After the settlement, the family went to federal court and, under the ADA, sought monetary damages, which are not available under the IDEA.
Lower courts said Perez was barred from pursuing his ADA claims because of language in the IDEA, but the Supreme Court disagreed. Gorsuch wrote: “We clarify that nothing” in the IDEA “bars his way.”
• From Teen Vogue (Opinion by Alice Wong): “The ‘Unwinding’ of Medicaid Coverage Will Be Difficult for Disabled Americans, Leave More People Uninsured”
I’ve been on Medicaid since I turned 18. It has been a lifelinebecause it provides personal-care services that allow me to live in the larger community rather than in a private facility. For many Americans, though, Medicaid coverage is now at risk. Under the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023, states will resume redetermining eligibility for all Medicaid enrollees on April 1. That means an estimated 18 million people may lose their coverage in the next 14 months, including some people who enrolled during the pandemic, according to a report from the Urban Institute.
Like the White House’s plan to privatize COVID treatments and vaccines, Medicaid coverage is another public health emergency measure that’s been deemed no longer necessary. In early 2020, Congress enacted a rule that barred states from dropping people from Medicaid, thus ensuring access to health care during the pandemic. But now the government will allow the number of uninsured people to soar in an “unwinding” process that could have major consequences.
Every year, I have to go through a Medicaid redetermination process, which assesses my eligibility so that my coverage can be renewed. Even though I’ve been through this process seemingly countless times, when that thick packet from the county comes in the mail, it still creates a pit of dread in my stomach. One small error can be disastrous, resulting in what’s called “churn,” the gap in coverage that can lead to delays in care while people re-enroll — or people can fall through the cracks altogether. Administrative and procedural barriers can also lead to someone being dis-enrolled, with low-income people and people of color disproportionately at higher risk due to structural inequities.
• From the Virginia Mercury: “Feds identify ‘significant’ ongoing concerns with Virginia special education”
After failing to meet federal requirements to support students with disabilities in 2020, the Virginia Department of Education will remain under further review by the federal government after continuing to fall short in monitoring and responding to complaints against school districts, according to a letter from the U.S. Department of Education.
“We have significant new or continued areas of concerns with the State’s implementation of general supervision, dispute resolution, and confidentiality requirements” of IDEA, stated the Feb. 17 letter from the Office of Special Education Programs.
The U.S. Department of Education first flagged its concerns in a June 2020 “Differentiated Monitoring and Support Report” on how Virginia was complying with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, following a 2019 visit by the Office of Special Education Programs.
[…]The decision comes after the U.S. Department of Education announced in November that Fairfax County Public Schools, Virginia’s largest school district, failed to provide thousands of students with disabilities with the educational services they were entitled to during remote learning at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Virginia is also facing a federal class-action lawsuit over claims that its Department of Education and Fairfax County Public Schools violated the rights of disabled students under IDEA.
Parents involved in the case said the Virginia Department of Education and Fairfax school board “have actively cultivated an unfair and biased” hearing system to oversee challenges to local decisions about disabled students, according to the suit.
[…]The federal government said if Virginia could not demonstrate full compliance with IDEA requirements, it could impose conditions on grant funds the state receives to support early intervention and special education services for children with disabilities and their families.

How can we create a meaningful life in a self-centered world? Have our societal notions of success misled us? How does connection underpin our sense of meaning? What practical skills do we need to understand other humans? And what do morals and values have to do with any of this?
A few years ago, David Brooks, columnist & cultural commentator, experienced deep personal loss. He suddenly found himself emotionally at sea. As he looked for ways to keep his head afloat, he realized he wasn’t alone; that somehow many Americans had become disconnected from their families or beliefs or way of life. Brooks saw an America drifting from its values and morals, to the point that the basics of human relations were out of reach. Instead of moralizing, Brooks set out on a journey to find people who are truly connected and anchored, and to learn what they do and how they do it.
In this episode, the Surgeon General and David Brooks dig into deep questions. In a world that can feel uncertain and pressured, this episode is a pause to ask what stories we tell, about ourselves and the world, and to think about what gives each of us a sense of meaning in our lives.

Penalties. We’ve seen races where there were more penalties handed out than we had this weekend, but we had a lot to talk about this week when it came to penalties and the impacts they had on the weekend.
Haas categorically denies allegations made by PBS Newshour that they have violated US trade sanctions against Russia.
The FIA has revised how they will assess super license penalty points.
Drivers and team personnel will no longer be able to take bikes, scooters or any other wheeled vehicle out during track walks.
After a second weekend where a driver got a penalty for not properly starting from their grid box followed by a second penalty for not serving the first penalty properly at least one of us is frustrated.
Several teams appear to be in trouble - and it’s only race 2.

Margaret 02:09No, yeah, a bunch of sugar and protein in a cookie form is my equivalent of like making me immediately hyper.
Casandra 02:18Alright.
Margaret 02:19Because I don't fuck with caffeine. I'm straight edge, except for alcohol.
Brooke 02:24Well good, you should take all that energy and tell us some things.
Margaret 02:29Oh, okay, right. I'm first. Okay, February has been a big month for the apocalypse. The Apocalypse is coming in hard with a bunch of mostly really bad shit. I think that the biggest story, or whatever, the earthquake that happened in Turkey and Syria was really fucking bad. Everyone probably already knows this. As of when I'm recording it, the death toll stands at about 50,000 people in Turkey and Syria. Those numbers are still expected to go up. And a lot of it has to do with poverty and with buildings that are not built to withstand earthquakes. This is happening in a poor region. And that is absolutely affecting everything. I don't have as much information about that to relay, but I just feel like it's like the single most...like now I'm going to talk about the fucking balloons and I hate the fucking balloons. And I want people to know that like the earthquake is more important. But on February 14th, I think, I don't remember, I wrote on February 14, but you think I'd remember that was Valentine's Day. A surveillance balloon, there's a Chinese balloon and the US shot it down. It was a really actually big balloon and it probably included some surveillance equipment. China was like, "It's civilian." The US is like, "No, it was military." I'm not stressed about it because I expect the US government is surveilling me and I don't really give a shit if some other country...whatever, I don't fucking care. It may have been capturing cell transmissions and shit over the US. But then, of course, this sets off this like massive paranoia, where everyone's like, "Balloons are trying to get us. Those Chinese balloons." And the US like scrambled....
Brooke 04:20I always knew it was going to be balloons. I've always said it, the balloons are coming for us.
Casandra 04:22Doomsday mechanism.
Margaret 04:26I mean...
Brooke 04:27it's the balloons. Clearly.
Margaret 04:30They are creepy. Actually. This is funny, my my dad is phobic of hot air balloons. I'm sorry to reveal this about you, dad. And because he was always like, "No, they're just there. They're on the horizon. They're creepy." Like he's not afraid of being in that. He's afraid of them like on the horizon.
Casandra 04:46One of my most traumatizing childhood moments was this hot air balloon show was like going over the neighborhood and I was spinning in circles staring upward watching them as one does and forgot that my mom had a whole like row of rose bushes. And then spent the whole afternoon having like rose thorns picked out of my ass. So, that's all to say that I don't think your dad's insane.
Margaret 05:10Yeah, so the US government scrambled a bunch of fighter jets to shoot down a whole bunch of other balloons, all of which, like the government is like, "We do not believe that they are surveillance balloons, but we don't know." And the reason that they're saying we don't know is because, well one they obliterated tiny balloons with missiles. So there's like, not a lot left. There's like like half a million dollar missiles being shot at these fucking things, one of which missed. They missed a fucking balloon over Lake Huron, and then it like, fell into the lake. And they're like, "No one was harmed." And I'm like, great, I feel so fucking good that the government is shooting missiles at the US. That makes sense. And so probably those balloons are like amateur weather balloons, like people like do this, where you're like, I'm gonna get a balloon and like, put a bunch of equipment on it and send it up into the sky. And it's cool, right? And because you can like see the stuff. And so fortunately, the US government is there to protect us against amateur weather and radio fans.
Brooke 06:11You know, you know, our friends over that other podcast have been saying we should nuke the Great Lakes. So I think this was just a trial run to...
Margaret 06:20Fuck, Robert Evans is like actually the one that got them to shoot missiles.
Casandra 06:24Cancel Robert Evans.
Margaret 06:25Yep. All right. Yeah. Or he's a prophet.
Brooke 06:32That's what I was gonna say,
Margaret 06:34Speaking of Prophets, but actually, in both mench versions of that word, there was a massive disaster on February 3, in East Palestine [rhymes with Springsteen], Ohio, because it's not pronounced Palestine [rhymes with Stein], in which a train carrying a bunch of toxic shit had overheated wheel bearings, and derailed. It passed like a bunch of sensors that were like, detect overheated stuff. And then like on the last one, it was like, "Hey, you're overheating," and then it crashed. This overturned 11 Toxic cars at a...a bunch of more cars overturned, but 11 of them were full of toxic chemicals, including vinyl chloride, but also a bunch of other shit. 115,000 gallons of vinyl chloride, were let loose. And then they were like, "Slright, well, we better set the shutter on fire," I'm not actually even going to like talk shit on the fact that they set on fire. It might have been the best thing that they could do in that circumstances. There is a lot of stuff that is implying that the government and you know, Norfolk Southern and all that are like downplaying the degree to this disaster. It is a massive disaster, it is a big fucking deal. And the people involved should be held accountable. And there's like, all kinds of stuff about how a lot of the deregulation and of course, you know, the fact doesn't help that Biden like stopped a railroad strike for better safety conditions, because that's mostly huge part of what people are striking for. And they absolutely are like, the numbers are trending upwards. They're like, "It's not a big deal." And they were like, "Hey, there's a bunch of dead fish." And people were like, "There are 4000 dead fish." And they had a very specific number. It might not have been that number was like 300, 800, 3,850, or something. As of this morning, when I double checked, they're up to 43,000 dead aquatic animals. That's 10 times the previous claim. I understand why people are skeptical of these claims. They're probably not forever chemicals. These are the sorts of chemicals that will break down. However, no one knows the long term effects of the exposure that people have already had to these chemicals. And it's fucked up. Norfolk Southern stock has dropped, but not as precipitously as you would might like. It's not even as low as it was last October, just like took a dip. So buy the dip, everyone go out and buy....don't do this. Don't go out and buy stock. Okay, that's what I know about that. Other people might know more about it.
Casandra 08:56Oh, I was just gonna say that....
Margaret 08:57Next. Okay go ahead.
Casandra 08:58I was just gonan say that the EPA seemed pretty like, firm with them, which I appreciated. It wasn't the response I expected. Oh, were you wagging your finger at me? Or like...they were like.
Brooke 09:12I was being the EPA. Yeah. Because we're in a point of visual medium here, right with a podcast. So, everyone can see me doing that.
Casandra 09:19I watched the recording and the guy was like, "If y'all don't do this up to our standards, we will do it and then bill you and not just like, you'll get the bill, but we'll bill you a certain number of times the amount that it actually cost us as a penalty." Yeah, it's something I don't know.
Margaret 09:37I mean, that's good. Yeah. Oh and then the other thing, when I when I lead with the transition of Prophets in both sense of the word. About a week before this disaster, I watched the Netflix movie "White Noise" based on the 1980s novel called "White Noise," in which a toxic chemical train spill it In East Palestine, Ohio happens and fucks everything up. And it fucks with my head, just straight up. It fucks with my head that I watched a movie about a natural disaster and then... not a natural disaster, a manmade disaster. And then a week later, it happened in the same town of 5000 Fucking people. Or 4000 people.
Casandra 10:20Maybe, you're not a prophet, maybe actually. Your brain just determines all of reality.
Margaret 10:29Oh, no, I'm not a prophet. No, no, no, no, I don't think this is me.
Casandra 10:31I think that what happens in your head is then what happens in the outside world. That's more plausible.
Brooke 10:39Yeah, that seems right.
Casandra 10:40So, don't think anything....
Margaret 10:42This is a really good thing to tell someone who lives alone.
Brooke 10:46I mean, it clearly anyone who reaches a certain level of podcasting, fame then develops a power to cause things to happen. Yeah, that's what we're saying here.
Margaret 10:57Good to know. And then everyone lived in a happy anarchist society for all times in which everyone was equal, except Margaret was a little bit more equal and got like twice as much tea in the morning.
Casandra 11:06You don't like tea. We just went over this.
Margaret 11:10Yeah, well, I shouldn't have more of something I want. That would be fucked up.
Casandra 11:14This is the like weirdest Catholic version of anarchist Utopia I've ever heard of.
Margaret 11:23Hi, I'm Margaret Killjoy. Alright, so it's speaking of other bad shit that happened this year, or actually, well, okay. The thing that happened in February is is the one year anniversary of the Ukraine war. As currently stands, it's fallen out of the news, which means that no one is dying anymore, and everything is fine. Except that...
Brooke 11:47PBS still does it. So to just throw a tiny amount of credit over there. But yeah...
Margaret 11:54Yeah, well actually it's funny because people will talk mad shit about mainstream news and for good reason. But like, overall, I think mainstream news is a little bit better of a job than like Twitter at like, staying attached to stories over time, rather than just like chasing the clicks, which is fucking saying something because that is what mainstream news was notoriously bad at. I just think social media is even worse at it. On the other hand, it's not the job of the random Twitter person to....Okay, so, the Ukraine war is largely out of stalemate. As stands Russia holds 17% of Ukraine, an area twice the size of Italy. It's less than they controlled at the beginning of the war by a decent amount, and specifically, almost all their holdings are in the east. And it's been like slowly being chipped away at overall is kind of the general thing. Most foreign fighters left after a few months, it went down, there's 20,000 foreign fighters, mostly like vets of various other countries who are like, "Well fuck an invasion." And a lot of people were like, I think actually a lot of people were like, "Well, I fought in all of these like evil US wars, because they have like worked for the US government. Here's a just war," and people went like chasing a just war, right. It's down from about 20,000 foreign fighters to 2000 foreign fighters as the war drags on. China is calling for peace talks right now. And more might have happened by the time you hear this, like this is like news from yesterday and today, and their position is...like I mean overall they're trying to present themselves as neutral, but like overall they're like, "This is a war of Western aggression." You know? "This is a war of you know a Ukraine shouldn't dress like that if it didn't want to get attacked." They've four times abstained....Thank you for laughing at my off color joke. And yeah, I mean, because that is what it comes down to this idea of like, we had to invade you because you are getting too close to our borders with your power or whatever. Like, you can't fucking justify invading another country for that reason.
Casandra 14:03They're opposing US imperialism, Margaret.
Margaret 14:06Yeah, they do.
Casandra 14:07NATO!
Margaret 14:10Yeah. Yeah. And that's China's position. They're with the US tankies. Or rather US tankies are with them. They have four times abstained from voting in the UN votes to ask Russia to withdraw its troops it's possible also that China's like trying to get in....and this is like everyone. This is the actual imperialism from my point of view about all this is everyone calling for these peace talks a lot of it is that they're like they want in on the economic reconstruction aka they want like their economic interest in the capitalism to to do their thing just to China it's slightly more state capitalism in the US it's slightly more..
Casandra 14:46China's not capitalist Margaret What are you talking about?
Margaret 14:48Oh, right. Sorry. I Forgot. They want to bring their peoples army... and I Love that It's like the tankies pretending that Russia is fucking commie...anyway. The number of Russian soldiers Ukraine is killing is going up, which, you know, whatever, fuck them. 824 Such Russian soldiers a day are dying in Ukraine in February, which is the highest rate since the invasion started. Between 180,000 and 270,000 Russians have died in the war in the past year. And for comparison, Russia is this huge place. And we think about like how Russia just like, bled people during World War II, you know. Russia is only half the population of the United States. And so this is...so when you think about percentage wise, if you think about, it's like, you know, the equivalent of half a million people dying in one year in a dumb fucking war. About 100,000 Ukrainian soldiers have died. They claim that 13,000 of their soldiers have died. Vaguely neutral observers from the outside of claims that 100,000 have died, which is like, their, their like, kill rate, oh, God, I'm not even going to pretend to put this in video game terms. That's fucked up. And also another 30,000 or so civilians, Ukrainian civilians have died. Like directly, tons more displace. Everything's fucked up. It's war. I haven't been able to get a recent number for the total number of arrests in Russia. But, it's like worth really understanding how much a lot of Russians do fucking not want this to happen. There were 15,000 people arrested protesting against the war and like the first month of the war alone, and there's thousands more at various other times, but I wasn't able to find a total count. And, you know, in case anyone needs any reminding that nationalism is garbage. between half a million and a million Russians have fled, rather than be conscripted and fight in this stupid fucking bullshit. And 200 or so Russians are actively fighting for Ukraine. There is no out good outside guests. That is a guess from one of these Russian fighters. And they all have different reasons. I am aware of their being Russian anarchists. I was not able to find more information about that. Most of the anarchists that I know from other countries I think are more involved in directing solidarity goods, except for Belarus.. A lot of anarchists fighters in Ukraine. Anyway, of the 200 or so fighters, the the one I was able to find the specific motive for he's is doing as his Christian duty to stop invasions. And let's see, okay, almost done with the Russian war thing. Dutch intelligence reports that Russia is mapping power and gas infrastructure in the North Sea for potential attack. This came out like yesterday. So who knows what will happen with that. And then it's also kind of worth knowing there's like all of these, like anti war rallies happening around the war around the world. And most of them are like about trying to stop the Russian invasion of Ukraine, right? They're like, "Hey, this war is fucked up, aka Russia is fucked up." But in the US, we get a different kind of anti war movement, we get an anti war movement that's a weird collection of tankies and Nazis...
Casandra 18:20Margaret, that never happened!
Margaret 18:21...coming together like a Molotov-Ribbontrop Pact to say stop the war machine.
Casandra 18:28Stalin is the whole reason.....
Margaret 18:34Yeah, no, I know.
Casandra 18:38The reason the Nazis were defeated soley was because of Stalin, therefore, you know, the Soviet Union never never ever could have allied with the Nazis, even though we have historical records that it did blah, blah.
Margaret 18:53Yeah, like at the beginning, Russia was like, "Hey, allies, can we hang out with you, Germany's looking real weird." And the allies were like, "I'm not sure." And so then Russia was like or USSR was like, "Hey, Nazis, can we hang out with you? We know bad shits about to happen," and they were like, "Yeah, but totally," and the USSR sent them tons of aid, just literal material, tons of aid. And collectively, they mapped out which countries they were going to invade together and they invaded Poland together...It's Poland. Am I getting that right? And then, Germany was like "JK, surprise attack." And then the USSR was like, "Okay, we're against you." And then fucking millions of Russians died to defeat the Nazis and that needs to be understood and respected. But like Stalin was like making them...there's like, reports from survivors...This is totally what this episode is about. There's like reports from survivors who were like forced to charge Nazi tanks bare handed. And so like, the high numbers of Russian dead wasn't because Stalin ruled. The high numbers is because Stalin fucking sucks. Anyway.
Casandra 20:08And there's also the whole like, the line that like the USSR saved with the Jews or whatever, when, which was just like totally. Anyway, we won't talk about how Jews were treated in the USSR.
Margaret 20:23When they signed the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact....Yeah. Anyway, USSR is not modern Russia, but there's an anti war movement. So that's okay. That's Ukraine. Now, the trans laws, the thing that has me up all night. Yesterday, I believe the Tennessee House passed a bill. And now this was misrepresented. And I accidentally misrepresented this too, because I trusted a Twitterer who trusted a news article from a mainstream source that, okay, a Tennessee House did pass this bill. And by the time you're listening to this, probably their fucking Senate and Governor have signed off on it. But the article was like, "And now it goes up to the governor." It doesn't it goes to the Senate first. And a lot of really shitty laws passed the House, but not the Senate in like, any given place. So there's like, still hope. But I'm not full of fucking hope because a lot of these types of laws are passing right now. The type of law I'm talking about, this is an anti drag law. And these anti drag laws are similar ones proposed around the country and all the details are a little bit different. But the overall idea is that if anyone who is a male or female impersonator, AKA a crossdresser, aka, me living my fucking life, or a drag performer, if they perform, and if it's like, in any way, like...some places it's just like literally if they perform, or exist in public, and another one's the Tennessee laws a little bit like, and they perform in a way that has any kind of like, sexual titillation, or whatever then that has to be the venue that is now a strip club legally, or like, needs to be a like 18+ adult entertainment, cabaret or whatever the fuck
Casandra 22:15Like who's deciding if something's sexual?
Margaret 22:19Uh huh. And it is. First cops, then judges, Two groups I trust to the bottom of my....nothing.
Margaret 22:35Or the parents who call the cops.
Brooke 22:41Don't forget about he mob.
Margaret 22:42Yeah, no, totally. They're the first step in it. So that is the literal criminal criminalization of being trans in public.
Casandra 22:45Yeah, there are nine anti trans laws on the books right now in Oregon. Yeah.
Margaret 22:52Yeah. There's 14 other states with similar anti drag laws in the works, including Oklahoma, Texas, Arizona, and Idaho. And I just didn't find the full list, I found people like a couple different places giving like short versions of the list. South Dakota did just pass a law like not just the house or whatever, but like it's fucking signed, that forces trans youth to detransition. And Utah passed a law against trans youth also, very recently, or against allowing trans youth to transition. But, I don't believe it forcibly detransitioned. I believe that this one in South Dakota is the first one to force detransition, which from my point of view, pretty much means that trans...families with trans children who can't afford to move are going to have their trans kids run away or kill themselves. Just like, frankly, I am not recommending. I am recommending if you're a trans youth to in a place that is affected by this to get in touch with community to try and help you and your family get out of that situation. That is what I'm directly recommending. But, the the reason that doctors believe in gender affirming care for trans youth is that it lowers the rates of death substantially. Oklahoma is currently considering a bill to ban gender affirming care to adults, anyone under the age of 26.
Brooke 24:22Fucking Oklahoma.
Casandra 24:22I can't remember which bill i was reading, but I was reading about one that was worded in such a way where gender affirming care also ended up including things like hormones for ciswomen dealing with menopause, like it was so broad sweeping that like, I just don't think people consider the broader implications. You know what I mean?
Margaret 24:41I don't know whether this one was that one, but I...it wouldn't surprise me and I feel like people pass laws like that all the time. And then just like, no one's going to actually stop cis women from accessing hormones from menopause, you know, or like, you know, people dealing with prostate cancer often take hormones and you know, testosterone blockers and things like that, and like...All the shit is overbroad, like crazy, but not in a way where I feel like oh, it's overbroad, and it gets struck down like no, it's gonna get targetedly used against trans people against, the Left. And 5% of US people in the US who are under the age of 25 identify as trans or like nonbinary in some way, compared to point .5% of the rest of the population as a whole. And I would like to...don't make me tap of the sign of the that graph of chart of left handedness as a chart of left handedness. Like once they stopeed. Once they started letting people be left handed, it goes up and caps itself, you know. And every major medical association in America recognizes that gender affirming care for youth saves lives. That is not a...I assume everyone listening to this already knows the shit, but it's like worth fucking knowing. This is not a like, medically contested issue. You know, this is like, and I'm not like, "Man, you know, who I trust immediately, the medical institution, they always have our backs." But, they do in this case, because they're not fucking... Oh, God. That's what I've got to talk about this week.
Brooke 26:20Jon Stewart did a good piece that was on gender affirming care that maybe everyone's already seen, because it was a little while ago, but was, you know, citing those...Just what you're exactly what you're saying, Margaret about every every major medical organization in the US.
Margaret 26:38And honestly has been one of the only cispeople I've seen talking about it in public. The silence from cispeople has been deafening. And if your cis and listening to this, I'm hoping that if you've been silent about it, I'm hoping that the reason you've been silent about it, is because you're afraid of taking up too much of the conversation. Because we do have this way of talking about social issues right now, where people are afraid to talk about issues that don't directly affect them. And I think that that is a misstep. And that it will take cis people talking about this angrily, before anything will change. Because, when it's just trans people, and sometimes their immediate families who are showing up to protest, everyone's going to be like, "Well, fuck those pedo whatever," fuck, whatever. Fucking bullshit, you know. So from my point of view, part of the reason this keeps me up at night is not because the Nazis want to kill me, they've wanted to kill me for a long time, they've sent me letters to this effect, with like, my parents address in it, you know, it's that when I don't feel supported, is when I feel the most lost about all of this stuff, just frankly. And so sometimes like that support is like, like, "Margaret's guide to being supportive to your trans friends," is like, like, sometimes, like random people messaging me to be like, "I see you, you're valid." I'm like, that's great. I don't I don't need that from strangers. What I need from strangers is for people to talk to the people, they're around and say shit about this, you know, I have a, I know I'm valid. I have a supportive family. And I have a supportive network of friends and all of that, you know? Yeah, sorry, this is...I mean, all of these things that we're going to talk about are big deals. But you know, this one affects me very directly.
Brooke 28:45Oh, no, I appreciate you saying more about it, because I was gonna ask follow up questions about like, you know, showing support and good ways to do that. So thanks for talking about that.
Margaret 28:55Be fucking angry. Like, you know, and it's like, and this stuff like, it's also all part of misogyny. Like, because people want to control people's bodies. And so transmen are affected by this because they're, like, leaving womanhood behind and that's bad or whatever. And then of course, transwomen are like, the reason that people don't want us to exist is a weird protect the women thing, right? And so like, when cis women are loudly like, "No, I would rather have this transwoman in the bathroom with me then like I don't know someone who's like peeking under stalls to make sure no one has a penis." Like people being loud about that kind of support. There's this brilliant video of thus person who I believe is a cis woman who's like getting gender policed by a Karen in a bathroom.
Casandra 29:47I saw that
Margaret 29:48And refuses to answer whether or not she has a dick. Yeah, it fucking...that gives me hope. So, I like.
Casandra 30:00That's like reverse Karen.
Brooke 30:02I just bookmarked that so I can watch it after
Casandra 30:05We should start a Nazis know our parents' address club.
Margaret 30:17And then like...it's funny I try not to talk too much about my family on this podcast, I guess, but then again the Nazis already know where they live. Like my dad's fucking ex marine with anger management issue who loves this trans daughter? How's do they think this is gonnna go?
Casandra 30:35I mean, my situation, my parent's would've been like "Whatever."
Margaret 30:41Yeah, okay, fair. I'm sorry.
Casandra 30:43Okay, who's next?
Brooke 30:48Okay. Can we talk about happier things?
Margaret 30:54What podcast are on?
Casandra 30:57I genuinely can't remember who's next. Is it you, Brooke?
Brooke 31:03Allegedly. Although, if it's something you have segues better for, I'm all for it. I had a good segue from the war thing. But then we then we start talking about the trans issue and I don't know where to go from there.
Casandra 31:13I think the world is shit. There are lots of them. They're diverse, shitty things to talk about, you know?
Margaret 31:18Well, and even the war thing, it's like, you know, what, Ukraine is fucking holding on a year later. That is a fucking positive story. It is a terrible, horrible story. But they're still fucking there. You know, like people thought Ukraine wasn't going to be a country by last summer.
Brooke 31:36That's a really good point. Well, speaking of war, wars, the war on drugs. Drugs. Adderall. I did it you're welcome. We did a, I think our August episode or something like that we did a roundup on like shortages, things that were in shortages. And I know we talked about Adderall at one point and being in shortage and why. And that started like last summer sometime I think August or so it was when people started talking about it. The FDA or DEA, I can't remember which one it was that came out with the announcement. I think the the FDA came out like late October and said, "Hey, we have an Adderall shortage." And everyone said, "We fucking know we've been dealing with with this for two or three months now." And it's gotten worse than it's been in the news again, recently, because of just how much worse it has gotten. We talked about it previously, we talked about some of the reasons why the shortage was happening. And part of it is a production issue. It's a very controlled substance. So, it's not like manufacturers can just start pumping out a whole bunch more. And not just like the creation of the Adderall. But the ingredients that go into it are controlled substances as well, so they can only make so much of that. Allegedly, there's enough supply of the base ingredients that we shouldn't have this shortage. So....
Casandra 33:10Sorry, I'm stupid about Adderall, is it it because meth. Is that the....? Okay, sorry.
Brooke 33:18That's where I'm going with this, but yeah, that's that is that. That is part of the reason it's such a controlled substance, because Amphetamine is, you know, main ingredient, it's it's people often refer to Adderall as being, you know, legal meth, or prescribed meth.
Casandra 33:33I know nothing. Wow. That's wild.
Brooke 33:42So, there have been some reports of folks that haven't been able to get their Adderall and have, in fact, turned to meth in order to get the substance they need, and there's not a good sense of how like widespread this is, versus, you know, a couple of instances that hit the news, you know, there's at least one story of somebody who died in an ER, because of meth. And they said they were taking the math because they couldn't get their Adderall prescription. And, you know, meth, you know, historically causes no problems to the brain and doesn't make people say things that are wacky and untrue. So we can trust that story. But, that's what's happening. But, the fun conspiracy theorh where I'm going with this that's floating around is that the government is purposely restricting the manufacture of Adderall to force people to turn to meth to perpetuate the war on drugs. So there you go. Conspiracy theories are fun.
Margaret 34:43Wait, So this is a new conspiracy. Okay. How the balloons tie in?
Casandra 34:48Yeah.
Margaret 34:49Is that where moving it? They're getting the Adderall out of the country?
Casandra 34:52They're delivering it. If we would have let them come in farther, they would have just released it because everyone wants Adderall.
Margaret 34:58Oh, yeah. That's sort of true...the part where everyone wants Adderal.
Casandra 35:03I do not.
Margaret 35:06Yeah. No, I don't want Adderall. I'm hyper off a cookie.
Brooke 35:12That's part of the issue is that the prescriptions for Adderall increased 27%. From 2019 to 2022. There were like 35 million prescriptions in the US, which is a fuck ton, in 2019. And then it went up to like 45 million by 2021 or 22. And I mean, shocker. Everybody's stuck inside with a pandemic. Like we overprescribed, that are all for sure. And I and that is not to say there's not people who genuinely need it out there. And I don't mean to bash anybody's use of of that prescription. But you know, one of the articles that I was reading they, you know how news reports like to pick a human interest story to tell their story, they were talking about this 16 year old female in Utah, who's like in all of the AP classes, honors classes is getting ready for college and how stressed out she was and obsessed with perfection, and she couldn't get all her stuff done. And then she got an Adderall prescription. And, and now she's able to get all her homework done, and she's acing all their classes, and it's ready for college and blah, blah, blah. And it's like, well, yeah, I mean, you just gave her gave her amphetamines.
Casandra 36:36I feel like there's a misuse potential. Like, the people I know, who have ADHD and take Adderall, it doesn't impact their system that way, you know. And I also think there's a certain, I see this with autism as well, there's a certain amount of like, like the left handed thing that Margaret brought up, you know? Like, it might seem like, it might seem like an undue spike, but I'm sure a large percentage of that is people who are finally getting care they need.
Margaret 37:12And then also, like, I think about it because I came closer to seeking medication for ADHD than I ever have. And what it was for me is that I built my entire life around the fact that I have ADHD, there's a reason that I'm a freelancer, there's a reason that I, you know, I travel, there's a reason I work for myself. Like, there's all these things that I've done, that have made ADHD not a problem in my life, right. But actually, the beginning of the pandemic, it made it more of a problem. It made it harder for me because like, I had to sit in my cabin and work on a computer in order to eat food, and stuff, you know, and so like, and I don't thrive in certain environments, and so I was like, "Man, if I had something that helped me thrive in this environment." So.
Casandra 37:56Which then makes me wonder, like, how much of that need is attached to Capitalism, you know, lthe ike productivity. So? Yeah.
Margaret 38:04Oh, yeah. No, totally. I mean. Totally. I had a day job for a minute.
Casandra 38:10Sitting in a cabin alone with....That sounds like my dream.
Margaret 38:16I know. Well, I was fine until the day job. Awesome.
Margaret 38:24Okay, so,
Brooke 38:25Again, I don't want to like bash anybody that's taking it. I don't know. I don't want to say that there aren't legitimate reasons that some of those people didn't need it. But, we we do know that it's overprescribed, that you take you know, young people who are high achieving, and we've got them overscheduled and fucking Capitalism.
Casandra 38:41Oh, everyone, I knew in college was....Adderall all the time.
Brooke 38:46Yeah, just give them drugs. So, that's part of the problem. Anyway, the DEA is trying to get you addicted to meth. x
Casandra 38:59I thought it was the FDA.
Margaret 39:02And that's why they're shooting down balloons.
Brooke 39:06No, it's the DEA because that's the Drug Enforcement Agency. They're the ones trying to perpetuate the war on drugs and they have something to do.
Casandra 39:14I hope people know when we are and aren't being sarcastic.
Margaret 39:22I hope so too. But I'm not optimistic.
Brooke 39:27Never take me seriously. That's my answer. I have one other fun conspiracy theory thing. Okay, it actually came up right after the end of our last recording and it was kind of a bummer. We didn't get it in there. But, it's about chicken feed.
Casandra 39:46Big Chicken!
Brooke 39:47And chicken feed conspiracy, that something is....Yep, Big Chicken. Not and not Tyson. Not that evil chicken, but it's actually a big big fooder you may have heard of this brand called Purina?
Casandra 40:01Dog food.
Brooke 40:02Are pretty well known for creating pet food. Yeah.
Margaret 40:05They feed cats.
Brooke 40:06But they also make more industrial feeds like chicken feed and guinea pigs and goats and I don't even know the full extent of their thing, but they make feed for a lot of different kinds of animals. And people started reporting in July last year that their chickens and this is industrial level and you know, household people chicken in the backyard kind of people, crazies like me that their their egg laying productions seem to be going down. And then going through the winter, a lot of a lot of people have talked about their eggs production from their chickens being at or very near zero, which I also have been in this boat for a while my my four girls were not laying any eggs. And it wasn't an old chicken issue, like they're, they're young, and they just started laying this last summer. And yes, production goes down in the winter, that's normal, but doesn't usually just completely drop off. So, people were posting about it on social medias and talking about it and started forming this conspiracy that there's something wrong with chicken feed, Purina mainly because they're one of the biggest suppliers not just under their name brand, but their sub brands as well. And that something is missing in the chicken feed that's causing them not to lay as well. And then lots people saying "I switched to another brand, I started mixing my own," blah, blah, blah. "And suddenly my my chickens are laying again." And as much as I hate conspiracy theories and don't want to feed into it, I have to say that I also was having the same issue of zero egg production. And then I grabbed a protein blend from a different brand and started mixing that into their feed and getting eggs.
Margaret 41:49That doesn't have to be a conspiracy. They could have just fucked up.
Casandra 41:51Honestly, people have reported that they've had their feet tested. They've had their Purina tested and it contains the appropriate amount of protein. So there's like, at this point a month later....I'm sorry, I was the one who brought this up because I was I raise quail. And so I'm on, I don't know, poultry, social media. Yeah. Anyway. But yeah, so apparently people have gotten their feed tested, and it has the appropriate components, so now they're like, "Is there something added to it?" That's the new conspiracy.
Margaret 42:27Well, I know what, I know what the problem is.
Brooke 42:29Morgaret has the answer.
Casandra 42:32Okay, good.
Margaret 42:32Yeah, I watched this....No, it's not gonna be the answer. No, I watched this documentary called All Quiet on the Western Front on Netflix last night. And in it, the Imperial German soldiers, while they're occupied France during World War One, there's they're breaking into farmers yards and stealing the eggs. And so it's actually. It's actually Imperial German soldiers are breaking into everyone's yards and stealing quail eggs and chicken eggs.
Brooke 43:10Oh, okay.
Casandra 43:12Obvious.
Brooke 43:12There are a lot of other factors that genuinely influence chicken, like production, like the amount of light and the temperature. And, you know, our light levels are not particularly off. They're low this time of year, like always, but it definitely has been a little bit colder on average this winter here for us, though. My mother...Hi, Mom, I love you was like you need to put a heating light on your chickens and they'll lay more which I did for a month and it didn't affect anything. Although that was also after one of those snows that we had too.
Casandra 43:44Can I telll you one of the more wingnut versions of this I've heard?
Brooke 43:47Yes, please.
Casandra 43:48And who knows. But, the most like, you know, puppet master version of all of this I've heard is that Purina partnered with some giant egg company that I can't remember the name of right now, who just opened a whole bunch of, starting last fall open several massive like egg production facilities. So, it's in Purina's best interest to add something to the feed so that our chickens can't lay eggs. And that's why egg prices are through the roof. And now you have to buy the eggs and it's just ohhhh. Yeah.
Brooke 44:26Yeah, that's the other thing that's feeding into the conspiracy theories I was gonna wrap this up with.
Brooke 44:29Sorry. I'm taking...
Brooke 44:30No, you're fine. It's perfect. Perfect segue. Excellent. Yeah. Is the prices going up on eggs is all feeding into conspiracy and you know, people not thinking about food prices in general have gone up and we feed chickens food things. And yeah, anyway, what Margaret?
Margaret 44:48Oh, just there's some, I was reading today, that there's some guesses that we might have hit peak food inflation, specifically around eggs and meat. Because basically, no one can get enough money...because you can't sell eggs at a certain...the way cap, the market works, you know, you can't sell it at a certain amount, so fewer sell or whatever. And so wholesale egg prices have started dropping. And as of when the article I read came out this had not yet hit retail egg prices. Because people probably are like, Well, alright, I can buy them for cheap and sell them for just as much Fuck yeah. But wholesale egg prices are starting to drop and meat prices are also starting to drop on a wholesale level, because inflation reduced the profit.
Brooke 45:39Okay. Well, the one upside, so that's sorry.....
Casandra 45:48I think there's something about Purina feed, and we don't know what and that's fine. And that people seem to be switching feeds or making their own and it's fine. I mean, there might be but like, I don't really care personally, I'm like, I just want my quails to lay eggs.
Margaret 46:07And it's just not a conspiracy. They're just fucked up their food.
Brooke 46:09Right. Yeah, there's other complicating factors. It's not maybe not just this one thing. Like, yeah, you know, we hear where Cas and I live have had a colder little bit colder winter than average and that'll slow down production. I don't know for the US as an entirety but you know, just an example.
Margaret 46:25Well, there's there's that saying "Never never attribute to incompetence. What can be understood..." No, wait. I know something isn't...It's Goddamnit "It's not malice. It's incompetence." It's more likely that it is incompetence than malice at any given thing that's happening.
Casandra 46:49I mean, yeah, it's like very experienced people who are having this issue, like there's something, there's something wrong, right?
Margaret 47:05Oh, that's what I mean about...sorry, I don't mean incompetence of the chicken keepers. The chicken lords.
Brooke 47:10That is what we call ourselves, Margaret, chicken lords.
Margaret 47:12I mean, the incompetence of Purina. The...like Purina fucking up the feed is probably because they fucked up the feed, not cause they're like, "hahaha."
Brooke 47:25I mean, it's entirely possible Purina switched to cheaper, lower quality components to create their feeds because of inflation.
Casandra 47:31It's not incompetence if it's a giant company. Yeah.
Brooke 47:35There's something in that. The one upside of....
Casandra 47:40Root cause. Okay. Yeah.
Brooke 47:42There you go. Nice.
Margaret 47:44Yeah, it might be greed instead of malice.
Brooke 47:45Let me just say the happy thing.
Margaret 47:46What's the happy thing? What's the happy thing?
Brooke 47:50Is that people have turned to other feed sources. So, instead of supporting the big giant mega Corp, they're supporting smaller ones, like I reached out to a local person who's making their own blends. And I'm going to start using some of that. People have learned how to create their own blends and feed their things, which I think it's always great to get away from the industrial manufacturers. So...
Casandra 48:11I don't know how to jump from chickens to this....
Brooke 48:17Chickens. Avian Flu. Flu. Sickness. Bad. Long COVID.
Casandra 48:24I raised quail because I'm allergic to chicken eggs, cause autoimmune disease. Did you know long COVID is kind of like an autoimmune disease?
Brooke 48:32Nice.
Casandra 48:35Do either of you know anyone with long covid?
Brooke 48:37Yes.
Margaret 48:39Yeah, part of the reason I don't leave the house, not because I have it, but because I'm terrified. I mean, I'm making rational decisions around safety.
Brooke 48:48I'm worried I'm having it.
Casandra 48:52Oh, well, maybe maybe this will be easier. When I when I first heard about it. So, some of the symptoms I've heard include fatigue, brain fog, difficulty breathing, joint pain, chest pain, general like lower quality of life, gut issues. When I hear that list, I'm like, oh, that's, that sounds like my autoimmune disease. And sure enough, they're realizing that long COVID does have a lot in common with an autoimmune disease. I don't think they're classifying it that way. At this point, like the research is ongoing, but it's just really interesting to me. So apparently, something like 11% of people who get COVID-19 will have long COVID, which lets you one study in "Nature," I read said up to 65 million people are suffering from on COVID, which is apparently a 10th of the number of people worldwide who have had COVID. So , 1 in 10 people is kind of a lot. Yeah. And suddenly, you know, folks at the beginning of COVID, who were calling it, a mass disabling event make a lot more sense.
Brooke 50:01Yeah.
Casandra 50:05This is terrible and funny. I read a tweet where someone said "People went on about herd immunity. But now we have heard autoimmunity."
Brooke 50:12Oh, it's funny and awful
Casandra 50:17It is. Sorry, I'm laughing at that because I have an autoimmune disease. I think I should offer that context. So, populations impacted: Apparently 4% of folks with long COVID are under 12. Aside from that about a third are people under 50. Another third are 50 to 60. And then another third are people above 65. So it is impacting people who are our age.
Brooke 50:44You can't have three thirds and four percent.
Casandra 50:47I said, in addition to that. Or after that.
Brooke 50:51Okay, sorry. Math. Just slap me.
Casandra 50:53I read so many studies to cobble this all together. Don't judge my numbers. It's more...I say that to bookkeeper. It's more predominant in transgender folks and women, which is also true of autoimmune diseases. 75% of people with long COVID where never hospitalized. 75% of those people have not sought medical help for long COVID. And there's also an assumption that a lot of these numbers are actually higher, because we all know how reporting has gone down in and how healthcare is expensive. And if people don't have to go to a hospital or a doctor, they won't, you know.
Brooke 51:35Is there anyone out there that still saying long COVID doesn't exist? Not like the you know, extremists but like, mainstream for a while was like long COVID is made up? It's not actually happening. Is that still a common thought? Or is that finally going away?
Casandra 51:50I don't know how common it...so this is all really curious to me because I have an autoimmune disease and because last month, January 2023, two different studies came out about Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, which I also have, and how it increases the likelihood of long COVID. And when that study came out, I started to see a bunch of people talking about long COVID and low dose Naltrexone being a useful approach, which is a medication I take, which I cannot get prescribed by a regular doctor. Because they deny that it's a useful immunomodulator. Like remedy. And that's all to say that like, I think I'm hypersensitive to the disbelief around these things. And one of the reasons this if fascinating to me. Yeah, one of the reasons this is fascinating to me, is because it's opening up these conversations about these diseases that patients have been talking about for years, and have not historically been believed.
Margaret 52:56Often as a symptom of misogyny, right?
Casandra 53:01Yeah, Totally. I don't know anyone who has, you know, something in the spectrum of chronic illness who hasn't gone through, like literally years of doctor saying it "Doesn't exist," or "You don't have it." Or "It's not that bad." Like, I had to call my doctor and inform her of what I had, like, based on my labs, because she didn't tell me. And so now there's this like, sped up process around long COVID, right, where like, so many people are getting sick all at once that like, there was the disbelief and other people downplaying it. But like, research is catching up at a faster rate, it seems like, which has implications for the broader community, which could be positive. Even though it sucks that how many, how many millions. 65 million people....
Margaret 53:52Well, it's like mRNA caccines, like, it's fucking cool, that we're suddenly able to get vaccinated for so many more things than we used to. And it is absolutely fucked that it took this...It took so many people getting this before people were like, "Oh, maybe it's just not like the modern version of hysteria," the whiny woman disease or whatever, you know.
Casandra 54:20Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I think there's....up until very recently, if you walked into a doctor and were like, even if you had a what's the word I'm looking for, not a prescription when they tell you what your... a diagnosis, from a previous doctor saying "I have chronic fatigue," or whatever. It's highly likely that your new doctor will say that doesn't exist. But now, suddenly, the only word...it's like the only words that they have to describe long COVID are these words like chronic fatigue and autoimmune disease? So, suddenly they have to like view them as legitimate. But studies are coming out in these like, major scientific journals like "Nature." "JANA," what's the other one? I was reading? Whatever, science. So people are taking it seriously. And that's, not exciting because I wish it didn't exist at all, but is good.
Brooke 55:27Yeah, the friend that I have.
Casandra 55:28I have a whole. Oh, go ahead.
Brooke 55:30Oh, just the friend that I have that has long COVID he has faced a lot of that struggle with this belief. I think he got COVID earlier on, or at least not recently. And yeah, definitely has faced a lot of like disbelief and extra hurdles and trying to advocate for himself and get the kind of care that he needs.
Casandra 55:54Yeah. And it's, it's I think maybe people need to understand how severe it can be. Because the umbrella of long COVID, my understanding, like, you know, they're still actively defining this term, but my understanding is that it's people who have at least two symptoms, at least, I think it's two months after the acute infection goes away. But for some people that can be so debilitating that like, they need walkers, or they need you know, it's life altering. Yeah. And I read one study that said that, as many as 4 million people are unemployed, because of long covid, which is a whole other conversation around, like, what counts as a disability in this country? And what doesn't? Like I remember when I was first diagnosed with my autoimmune disease, and was way less functional than I am now. I was like, "Why? Why would I not qualify for disability?" And the answer is that there are a lot of bureaucratic reasons, apparently. But yeah, who knows, maybe that will change too.
Brooke 57:04Part of it's because...part of the bureaucracy is that they can't take away the designation once they've given it. So, they don't want to make it too easy to label you disabled, because then you don't, you don't get to go back from being disabled.
Margaret 57:22Or we could just not means test care. And anyone who needs care, could just have care.
Casandra 57:31We don't think you're sick enough. Do you want to hear some more interesting statistics?
Brooke 57:39Always. Give me numbers.
Casandra 57:42Yeah, I know Brooks excited. So, a study in Germany recently found that people who get COVID have a 30% or had a 30% increase in risk of autoimmune diseases up to a year after their acute infection. So, there's active comorbidity there. And the people who go into COVID having an autoimmune disease, have a 25% increase in their chance of contracting additional autoimmune diseases. But that's all significantly lowered if patients are vaccinated. There's a like crunchy version of autoimmune communities where people are antivax.
Margaret 58:26Oh, that's why you're making angry eyes as soon as you....
Casandra 58:30Well, so these statistics are particularly important, right?
Margaret 58:35I'm mad that there's been a Lyme vaccine that they just didn't finish studying. I could be wrong about this. I don't remember all the details. I read a pop science article about it. But there's like a...there's been a Lyme disease [vaccine] that they can give to dogs, but they just didn't finish studying it and people. And it's been around for like 20 years.
Brooke 58:54That's infuriating.
Casandra 58:55I don't live in Lyme country. So it's not like as big an issue here. But that's wild.
Margaret 59:00I got Lyme in Oregon. Like, where you live. But, and I and I live in fucking Lyme country and I've never gotten Lyme over here.
Brooke 59:11Wow. Yeah. Got some anyway, family in Idaho that, about 15 years ago, were battling Lyme and one of them had it since he was a teenager.
Margaret 59:23I want to fucking Lyme vaccine. It's like, I think people who play D&D are going to be smarter around risk analysis, because anyone who's played D&D knows that 5% chance of something happens means it's gonna happen. Like...
Casandra 59:37Yeah, eventually.
Margaret 59:39Yeah, exactly. And because you've had that happen over and over again, when you play this, and you also realize that anything that you get, that's like, a plus 5% safer, you always take it, right, like, and the vaccine is like a 90% safer, and people are like, "Ah, people still get sick, so therefore it's bullshit," but Like, if the vaccine made you 5% safer, and you play Dungeons and Dragons, you'll take it.
Casandra 1:00:05It's actually, it's 10%. It's 10% safer.
Margaret 1:00:09Wait, what is?
Casandra 1:00:11If you're vaccinated....
Margaret 1:00:13Oh, about the autoimmune stuff. Okay.
Casandra 1:00:15Yeah.
Margaret 1:00:15I was thinking about like COVID itself, but yeah. Yeah.
Casandra 1:00:21I just like kind of fantasy of my high school stats class actually being taught through D&D and like, maybe I would have understood math.
Margaret 1:00:27Yeah, it like, it's, yeah, you understand probability a lot better if you like, regularly....
Casandra 1:00:33You're actively practicing. Yeah. Yeah. Um, what else do you want to know?
Margaret 1:00:43About long COVID?
Casandra 1:00:45Yeah.
Margaret 1:00:46I was hearing that....It...For most people does taper off. Is that being understood? Or is that like, like not to be like, therefore it's fine, but just like, less of a like, "Oh, God, my life is over. This thing has happened," or whatever. Like, I was under the impression that people....not that it should...people should feel like their life is over, even if they get it bad. But like, not that it's...
Casandra 1:01:17It's not debilitating?
Brooke 1:01:18It's not permanent.
Margaret 1:01:19It's not necessarily...it's not necessarily permanently debilitating to everyone who gets it and that it like a lot of people it's about a way slower getting better, but not everyone some people it's about a permanent effect. But that other people are like recovering just very slowly. Is that? Am I completely off? I've no idea.
Casandra 1:01:40I've heard that empirically. But I didn't find a study that like....I found studies acknowledging that for some people after a few months, they get better. Like even if they started out with long COVID, symptoms will get better, but I didn't actually see numbers about...and I think part of that is that it hasn't been long enough.
Margaret 1:01:57Yeah, totally.
Casandra 1:01:58And even if...so, so I keep comparing this to an autoimmune disease, but they haven't actually said like "This is in fact an autoimmune disease," you know, there are people who say it's because of mast cell activation there are people who say it's actually a neurological issue, like they're still figuring it out. But if in fact it it does function like an autoimmune disease you would need years to see how it actually impacts people because people might have a slower recovery and feel better and then you know, their immune system could be triggered by something and they'll get sick again. So yeah, we just don't know.
Casandra 1:02:33That makes sense.
Brooke 1:02:36So I might not be fatigued and coughing forever is what you're saying? Maybe.
Casandra 1:02:42Yeah.
Brooke 1:02:45Okay, that's good.
Casandra 1:02:46But if you are people are researching the efficacy of low dose Naltrexone
Brooke 1:02:51And I'll get my brain back. Maybe.
Casandra 1:02:54I'd say some percentage of it.
Margaret 1:02:57Have you tried yoga?
Casandra 1:03:02You're actually not supposed to do stretching flexibility things with Ehlers Danlos, that's the antithesis of what you're supposed to do. So, no.
Margaret 1:03:14I hope that as we talked about, people not being able to tell when people are being sarcastic, I hope that I manage that tone.
Brooke 1:03:22Okay, but I need yoga for my PTSD. Now I'm lost.
Casandra 1:03:27You could just try the breathing exercises.
Brooke 1:03:30Okay. Meditation that's the one universal good.
Casandra 1:03:32Yeah.
Brooke 1:03:33Maybe. We'll see the sleep disorder.
Casandra 1:03:38I feel I feel like what we're doing right now is like a small encapsulated version of what these like, chronic illness communities do on a larger scale. And at a certain point, I just, like, have to detach myself because I'm like, everything will harm you.
Casandra 1:03:52How about we talk about other headlines.
Casandra 1:03:58Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Um, I found some fun ones. So, I don't remember exactly what she said. I'm sure anyone on Twitter saw, but Marjorie Taylor Greene was basically like "The country should get a divorce." Like, in my mind is civil war. That's a fun one.
Margaret 1:04:19Yeah, and I, I like that one also, because it's like people talk about like, red states, blue states, and people are like, "Oh, well, you know, Oklahoma is banning trans people. Fortunately, no trans people live there." Like, that's not fucking true. And like, and even from a like, Democrat--Republican binary, the difference between a red state and a blue state is usually about 60/40 one way or the other. Yeah, you know, and like, and that's what people aren't acknowledging. Well, there's a million things people aren't acknowledging.
Casandra 1:04:50Sort of what she wanted, she wanted to...part of that comment she made was about proposing that if people move to a red state from a blue state, they should have a period where they can't vote. which would in fact make it so that they were purely red states.
Margaret 1:05:05That's true. As a....I am not a Democrat, but I live in a red state and I am far worse than what they're afraid of with the Democrats. Yeah. Okay, my fun headline. Are we just doing like one headline back and forth for a moment?
Casandra 1:05:23Yeah.
Margaret 1:05:25Massive floods and mudslides in Brazil killed 36 people leaving 800 people homeless, displacing thousands of people, hitting multiple cities. Just massive fuck off disaster that didn't even make it to my social media headlines.
Casandra 1:05:41That makes me want to message Mena.
Margaret 1:05:43Yeah, not a bad idea to check in with her. Friends. I mean, sometimes it's like, Brazil is a very large country, right, and so like, you know, like, if someone something happens in the Pacific Northwest, and someone, my friend from another country is like, "Are you okay?" Then again, I wouldn't actually be sad at someone for checking in, even if something...whatever, anyway.
Casandra 1:06:09Federal Emergency SNAP benefits are ending March 1. Thanks, Biden. Yeah, for some people, that means the difference between like, $270 a month and $20 a month. It's like, a huge amount of money.
Brooke 1:06:24Yeah, for me, it's the difference between like, being able to just buy the foods I need and knowing there's gonna be enough versus like, having to really pay attention and budget of things to make sure I don't run out by the end of the month. Like it's not it's not even a huge amount of difference for me, but it's enough of like the difference between having to pay close attention and just being able to just buy food like normal.
Casandra 1:06:49Yeah. I've seen a few different posts by food pantry volunteers who are like, "It's already like wild in food pantries. And it's not even March 1 yet."
Margaret 1:07:01Floods in New Zealand killed for at least four people and displace 9000 people. All these headlines, it's like things show up in the head in the news when it happens. And then like this one in New Zealand, it's like, killed at least four people and there's 1300 people unaccounted for. And that article is from a while ago and so I didn't find an updated article. The fact that I didn't find it updated article probably means that 1000 More people didn't die, but was really fucking bad.
Brooke 1:07:32And then there's 9000 people that got displaced and you probably don't know what happened to them and where they went.
Margaret 1:07:41Are we still ping-ponging or should I just go with the rest of mine.
Casandra 1:07:45Oh no, I'll go Walgreens recently caved to Conservative pressure and agreed to stop selling Mifo...I get the full names of miso and mife confused but it's one of them.
Margaret 1:07:59One of the main abortion drugs.
Casandra 1:08:01Yeah, in a pro choice state.
Margaret 1:08:06Wow, in a pro choice? I didn't.
Casandra 1:08:08Oh, yes, it's Kansas, which is a pro choice state, and the you know, in case you needed the added kicker, Mifo is also used for completing miscarriages, so people will not be able to access that drug if they have a miscarriage. At least not in Walgreens. So, you know, change pharmacies if you want.
Margaret 1:08:31Legally Walgreens.
Brooke 1:08:34In Minecraft.
Margaret 1:08:35Ah, in Czarist Russia, that's what I'm pushing for is the new 'In Minecraft'. They cracked Minecraft. Now it's all about Czarist Russia. Warming oceans are cutting into the world's widest glacier. They're cutting like big trenches from the bottom into the world's widest glacier, the Thwaites, ultimately these melting glaciers over the next couple 100 years will likely raise global sea level by 10 feet.
Brooke 1:09:04Is that an Antarctic glacier?
Margaret 1:09:07I don't know.
Casandra 1:09:12I'm assured by a friend who's like a right wing researcher, who isn't right wing but does research into right wing hate groups, that this is probably going to be a non issue, but apparently and Idaho hate group on Telegram has been calling for an 'Antisemitic Day of Hate,' this Shabbat and I have friends in the areas where this is happening who have said that their synagogues are canceling services.
Margaret 1:09:37That fucking bums me out. Economic Research firm Moody's looked at US cities most at risk for combined heat, drought and sea level rise over the next 30 years,, basically like what US cities are going to be most impacted by climate change over the next couple of decades. And the losers are the Bay Area, a whole bunch of Florida, New York City, Tucson and Phoenix, Arizona, and Wilmington, Delaware.
Casandra 1:10:13Wilmington, Delaware?
Margaret 1:10:16I think a lot of Delaware isn't very high isn't very high above sea level.
Casandra 1:10:21I see.
Brooke 1:10:22I feel like New Orleans....
Margaret 1:10:23There's no...there's no cities that anyone knows the name of in Delaware besides Wilmington. And I'm guessing neither of y'all I've heard of Wilmington, Delaware. Delaware is mostly known as...Like literally when I would go to Delaware as a kid, there was a magnet on the fridge that was "Delawhere?" with a little question mark. Oh, but then the safest. Okay, I've got like one more, two more. The safest places are pretty much the Midwest, like the Dakotas and shit, unless you're trans. Anyway, but, but basically like a lot of actually Appalachia and the Midwest are safest from like, drought because of large reservoirs. And some other climate change and sea level rise because they're away from the ocean. Indian scientists are sounding the alarm of the first heatwave of the year. It's February. And last year, they kind of didn't have a Spring. And it fucked up their wheat production. Wheat production was down 10% For that reason, or 11 million metric tons less than they normally produce, which caused them to ban export of wheat in order to not starve. But, this was bad timing, of course, because the Russia invading Ukraine, I mean, Russia stopping imperialism by invading another country.
Brooke 1:11:56Shut up, you Tankie.
Margaret 1:11:58Yeah, and so this is the second year in a row and the fact that extreme weather events, whatever we all know is climate change, but like, extreme weather events back to back are another major indicator of something. And it's they're expecting really bad heat waves this year.
Casandra 1:12:18How long has it been since we weren't actively having an extreme weather event somewhere? You know?
Margaret 1:12:23I don't fucking know. And then the only other headline I got is that a Nazi couple in Baltimore was arrested for plotting to attack power stations. They didn't get very far along in their plans I think before they got caught by the Feds.
Casandra 1:12:40Nazis really hate electricity.
Brooke 1:12:42Yeah.
Casandra 1:12:45I know that's not the...
Margaret 1:12:47Shocking.
Brooke 1:12:48Just like....
Brooke 1:12:51Oh.....
Casandra 1:12:56Like, do they have...
Margaret 1:12:57I turned 40, I'm allowed to now.
Brooke 1:13:00That's a real mom joke.
Casandra 1:13:01Do they have their own like generators? Is that way they like, "Fuck the power station."
Brooke 1:13:05Probably.
Casandra 1:13:06I mean, I assume it's an accelerationist thing but like, they probably need electricity too.
Margaret 1:13:12Yeah, overall the vague idea is that they think that general...I don't know about this couple. But the general idea behind Nazis attacking power stations is to cause enough instability to cause societal collapse, which they believe will trigger a race war because white people will all band together and kill all the nonwhite people, which no they're not. I think people will band together and kill the Nazis when there's no longer laws about murdering Nazis. Yeah, people get together with people that they....I mean okay like you you can see times like in New Orleans, some hate groups went around and shot black people in the wake of Katrina but....
Casandra 1:14:02But then didn't respond to that by being like, "Fuck you, hate group."
Margaret 1:14:07Yeah yeah a bunch of people with of all races with guns then shot at the people and scared them off. That is what will happen in the like weird...like even the fucking general center Right and even like the non Nazi Right...I don't know maybe I'm being too optimistic, but like I don't think they're gonna get very far with this attack power stations to bring about the race war..I think it's about as nonsensical as fucking Charles Manson and it's like fucking helter skelter race war bullshit.
Casandra 1:14:38I'm gonna bring it up, fuck it. I like how The Last of Us in the bill episode portrays this like, who I immediately thought was going to be this like Right wing asshole, you know, individualists like altering his ways. And whatever, Margaret and I have talked about this, how like, it could have been...it could have been cooler he could have like brought in a whole bunch of community and stuff but maybe he just brought in the people he had access to because he realized his way of doing things was not sustainable.
Margaret 1:15:21We should have talked about this episode. Is prepper representation and culture had a really positive really positive if you watch The Last of Us if you haven't watched The Last of Us Episode Three, could kind of stand alone as a mini movie if you skip the first like 5-10 minutes, and really positive representation of a classic prepper. And it is a classic prepper, a guy has a fucking Gadsden flag on his wall and lives in a bunker and like rules, and I fucking am so here for it. It's not the way I would have prepped and it's not the way I would have handled it because I would have built community, but I don't know I mean, I would have built community and then still had my separate house where I hide from everyone
Casandra 1:16:09To your previous point though, like even people who are maybe, let's say he was a libertarian that's what I think when I see Gadsen flag, people who maybe were more on the individualist spectrum when shit actually hits the fan, they tend to still act communally.
Margaret 1:16:26Yeah. And that's probably a good note to end on. Take care of each other. We can do this. All these Nazis bound to lose. I don't know, Ukraine held on for a year and then like, even like, okay, like the trans shit, right? It's like, they're all like fucking coming really hard for us right now because we're no longer closeted to the same degree, because we are like, actually, in so many ways better off than we were 10-15 years ago, So many more people have access to care. So many more people have access to like communities that respect their gender. We've made huge strides and it has scared the shit out of them. And that's why they're lashing out and it sucks. I don't like being lashed out at. But yeah, how's that for rousing that?
Casandra 1:17:18That's good.
Margaret 1:17:20People roused? Not arroused. Regular roused.
Casandra 1:17:27Who's doing the outro?
Brooke 1:17:28Me, which I was just trying to do with my song, but...
Casandra 1:17:31Oh, good, good. Sorry.

Shannon Cohn, Documentary Producer, and Director has been broadcasted on PBS, Nat Geo, and Discovery Channel. Before becoming a filmmaker, she practiced international law and was part of the legal team who prosecuted Enron.
Endometriosis is a disease where endometrial-like tissue forms outside of the uterus in other different parts of the body. Some of the symptoms include pelvic and abdominal pain, bloating, gastrointestinal issues, infertility, and many other symptoms and diagnoses.
Shannon Cohn describes that all of the work comes from a personal place. She has endometriosis and has two young daughters with a seven-time increased risk of having the disease. At 16, Shannon experienced her first symptoms similar to GI symptoms. She did not hear the word endometriosis until 13 years later when at 29 years old she had ovarian cyst surgery and her doctor offhandedly made the diagnosis after in the post-op. Shannon felt terrified of the stats about how it affects fertility as it was part of her own personal wish to have children. She went back to her OB-GYN with complex questions and although she was a great obstetrician to her, she wasn’t well-equipped to answer in-depth about the retraces and nor was she qualified to treat Endometriosis.
Billions of dollars in the US each year are due to lost productivity, medical costs, and all of the things that physically the disease puts on. Why are people not recognizing it? It feels almost criminal.
It could change the lives of so many people to get them the care they need sooner and improve their quality of life. Below the Belt is geared more towards highlighting social justice issues surrounding the diagnosis and as the name implies below the belt, implies that unfair treatment.
Shannon wanted to make a film and tell a story of the disease and people highlighted who live with it to bring the story to mainstream audiences by making the content digestible and personal.
“One way to do that is to highlight the social justice issues that this disease does raise. I say it’s a perfect, awful storm of so many things like stigma and taboo. Historically with menstrual health or women’s health conditions below the waist, below the belt, so to speak, is the gender bias in medicine, racial bias in medicine, which compounds the issue and informed consent.”
Shannon speaks about a nurse at UCLA going to E.R., and the doctors weren’t taking her seriously. She could feel like she wasn’t being believed. So she started taking her boyfriend, who was a computer programmer, appointments with her to the E.R. with her because she found a market difference, that if he were there, they would listen to her more, and sometimes she would even let him speak for her on a health condition that was affecting her body.
She happens to be an African-American woman and her boyfriend at the time was a white man. Shannon decided to examine that and shine a light on it to say that this is happening.
“But it’s not just one thing. We have to change national discourse or international discourse around the disease, break the taboos, talking about menstruation periods, endometriosis, and related conditions that historically have been, you know, wrapped in like a silence, basically, or whispered about that needs to change.”
And it is changing.
It all starts with awareness and shining a light on the issues so that people understand these are issues because it is holding back progress. When people understand and are aware of them, then we can all start working to change.

Imagine if the members of your group chat shared more than memes but also shared a bank account, or if the early users of a social media app helped decide how that app grew, made money, and moderated content. How does the group make decisions and make sure everyone is heard? Who decides how the money is spent? These are some of the questions Friends with Benefits (FWB), a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) has had to answer. Baratunde talks with FWB Mayor Alex Zhang about DAOs, online community-building, and Web3 to find out if the way we citizen online can positively affect how we citizen IRL.
SHOW ACTIONS
Internally Reflect - How we shape the spaces we inhabit
Take a moment and think about your relationship to the digital spaces you spend time in. This could be social media, gaming, or a group chat. Where do you feel like an active participant, where you set the terms and tone of the environment? Where do you feel passive, like someone else is in charge? How might you change that relationship?
Become more informed - Web3, squads, and digital public spaces
We can create a healthier culture of democracy through web3 beyond starting and joining DAOs. If you’re new to this world, the New York Times’ has a great primer on Web3.
Once you’ve read that, take a deep dive into the history of “Squads”— a form of social and economic organizing that is shifting power and social dynamics away from an individualistic society.
If our conversation with Alex made you curious, check out our episode with Eli Pariser from New_Public. We go deep on how to better design digital public spaces.
Publicly participate - Sharing power and setting culture in groups
You’re likely a part of a group, a tenants or homeowners association, a parent group, a committee at work. The next time you’re at one of your meetings, take note of how the group makes decisions. Who speaks? Who is silent? What areas are open to input? What is considered off-the-table? Is there even an agenda!? Over time see if you can identify the kind of culture the group has: chaotic? Deferential?
Can you find any opportunities for the group to make that culture more small-d democratic, by rotating speaking or leadership roles, or openly acknowledging how decisions are made and how that might shift? We don’t need to find new groups and spaces to practice this democracy thing—let’s start where we are.

Free Use Friday – ‘ Jayce’ roams the building, initiating public sex acts, while the ladies pretend he’s not there.By PtmcPilot – listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories.
I awoke earlier than normal on Friday morning, eager to get to Foxx Inc so as not to miss out on even a minute. I was sitting in the entrance waiting area, attired in a suit and tie and sporting a nametag bearing ‘Jayce’, a good fifteen minutes before anyone else arrived. Shortly past 0 700 I got an email from Ms Olson. It was titled 'Friday.’ Opening it I found everyone but myself was bcc’d. It was a short note that simply read “FuF rules are confirmed and in effect until COB today. Those not wishing to passively participate are required to avoid potential situations or exit as needed.” I wasn’t entirely sure what that last part meant, but given I was definitely not the passive participant for today, it clearly did not apply to me.
I sat in the large room with a notepad and a coffee. As women arrived, I took note of who was wearing black or blue. The first to arrive in a black dress was Ms Cartwright from accounting. I moved to stand in front of her and she stopped, staring right past me. I lifted her secondary badge, noted the tri-graphs, and stepped back out of her way. It was almost like I had briefly put her in a trance. Over the next hour I repeated this procedure a total of four more times. Five women had decided to play, and my first task was to initiate the game.
List in hand, I made my way to Ms Maddox’ office. I found her sitting at her desk, apparently checking email. I walked up behind her and unbuttoned her blouse before sliding it off her shoulders. I then unhooked and removed her bra before spending a good couple of minutes kneading her breasts and sucking at her nipples. Then I threw her bra into my bag and left her office.
I repeated this scene four more times, or actually three, because one of the women was already without a bra when I found her. Cindy from I T, who I knew as 'Ms Velma’, was sitting in her office having a discussion with another woman who I noticed was not wearing black. Ms Velma, however, was wearing a purple sweater and a black skirt. “Amanda I really don’t know what to tell you,” Ms Velma said.
The other woman, who I knew as Amanda Stevens from operations, seemed a bit surprised to see me before realizing what was about to happen and she stood up. Ms Velma said, “Amanda, where are you going? Don’t you want to talk about this?”
Ms Stevens looked at me, back at Ms Velma, and meekly retook her seat. I tried to ignore her as I lifted Ms Velma’s sweater to find her big triple D tits already bare, and her nips rapidly hardening. I immediately started to knead them, latching on aggressively to the taut buds atop her tits. Ms Stevens cleared her throat, then said, “It’s just that Jane isn’t pulling her weight and it’s dragging down my team.”
Ms Velma moaned as I gave her breasts my full attention, and I stole a look at Ms Stevens, who appeared equal parts shocked, embarrassed, and turned on by the scene before her. My mission here accomplished, I reluctantly let go of her very large and soft tits and walked to the door. I noted she was resuming her discussion as she pulled down her sweater, every bit in character like nothing had just happened.
Having finished the opening phase of today’s game with some luscious breast play, I headed back to my office to finalize my plans.
The list of participants consisted of the following women:
Ms Maddox, Ms Velma, Ms Cartwright, Mandy Thomas (who I called Ms Mandy after another crazy introduction), and Ms Jenkins.
I checked the schedules for the various women, and it didn’t take me long to decide that Ms Jenkins, our on-site nurse, would be my first of the day. She was on site once or twice a week, and our paths had not crossed since my first day at the firm. On that occasion she’d coaxed a sizable sperm sample from me, later telling Ms Olson that she was disappointed she hadn’t been able to 'collect’ that ejaculation with her mouth. In my mind I relived the exam from that day and soon enough found myself hard and ready to go. It only seemed fair to deliver what was likely to be my biggest load of the day to the nurse who had waited so patiently to receive it. Arriving at her office, I found her in discussion with another woman I recognized, but one who was not on today’s, er, agenda. Ms Jenkins was seated behind her desk, and from the few seconds of conversation I gathered they were consulting on something. However, upon seeing me enter the room, the other woman excused herself, “Angela, if it’s okay with you, I’ll come back a little later to finish this.”
Ms Jenkins nodded, “Certainly Sarah, my calendar’s up to date.” And with that Ms Reese (Angela) stood and left the office without so much as a glance in my direction. Ms Jenkins locked her desktop and picked up an iPad. Suddenly struck by the idea of a CFNM fantasy, I removed all my clothes, placing them on the empty chair vacated by Ms Reese. I then lifted her blouse to play with her titties as I put her hand on my swiftly stiffening cock. Staying in character, she didn’t look at me or say anything, but she did lick her hand to provide some lubrication as she started to stroke me. I was struck by another inspiration, and I pulled away from her briefly to rifle the drawers and find some lube. It didn’t take me long to find what I was looking for, and then I took her other hand from the iPad and squeezed some lube on her fingers. I placed her fingers up against my ass, and without acknowledging me, she continued to look past me as she slowly worked a finger into me and started to massage my prostate. I figured if I was going to give her a load, I ought to do my best to make it worth her while.
Though I was enjoying having my hands full of her breasts as she stroked me, that wasn’t what I was after. Taking a fist full of hair at the back of her head, I guided her mouth to me. She still didn’t say anything, but she did start to lick and suck me. After a few minutes I let go of her hair and again filled both hands with her breasts, squeezing her nipples as I did. She was breathing more heavily around my cock, and her fingers were working their magic on my prostate. It was the beginning of the day, and I didn’t see any reason to keep the lady waiting. Through moans and groans, I let her know I was getting close, and then at exactly the right time she powerfully stroked my frenulum with her tongue, and I exploded in her mouth with my hands still groping her tits. It was a very strong orgasm and it continued for a good amount of time. Satisfied I had delivered on that debt, I let the Ms Jenkins slowly nurse my softening cock until I was sure she had swallowed everything I could offer.
Breathing heavily, I eventually pulled out of her mouth and moved away from her penetrating fingers. Redressing, I left her sitting with her breasts still bare, one hand sloppy with lube, and a belly full of my come. It was a good start to the day. She was smiling as I walked out.
Back in the office, there were some things that needed attention. A couple of services contracts, an email or two from the boss ladies, and a quick shower to reset my playing field for the next appointment of the day. At that moment Ms Velma was prominent in my mind, and it didn’t take long to realize I really wanted to make good use of her huge titties before lunch. I waited a little more than an hour before making my way to the IT offices.
Ms Velma was in her office, sitting on her couch moving through something on her iPad at ridiculous speed. I went over to her, lay down and put my head on her lap before lifting her sweater and commencing to feast on her titties. Squeezing, kneading, tweaking, sucking and licking, it was a boob lovers paradise, and her sweater puppies were quite off the chart. After some time, she sat the device down and leaned back into the couch. At this point you could assume she was staying in character and just relaxing for a bit, except for the nearly continuous sighs and moans my efforts were eliciting. A glance at the clock told me I’d been mauling her tits for over fifteen minutes. I unbuckled my trousers, withdrew my hard dick, and she started to stroke me as soon as I placed her hand on it.
I let her continue until her strokes became more insistent, then I at last disengaged from her breasts and stood. Bending her over the end of the couch, I tossed her skirt up onto her back and guided myself into her thoroughly wet snatch. She groaned as I bottomed out, then I took her big titties in both hands, took firm grip of her nipples, and began to pound her into tomorrow. I’ve mentioned Ms Velma is a thicc lady, and I knew the fucking I was delivering wasn’t bothering her in the least. Quite to the contrary, as my efforts were rewarded with all manner of grunts and groans which were quite out of character for today. Not that I minded.
A few minutes later she made a squeak, slapped the arm of the couch, gripped it firmly, and started to twitch. My work accomplished, I joined her straightaway, pumping her full with my second delivery of the day. Once finished, I remained inside her for a couple minutes, enjoying the feel of her for a bit longer. But at last I had to go, and I nonchalantly redressed, noting she was still bent over the couch as I left her office.
After a quick shower I pondered lunch and my next, ah, delivery.
I emailed Ms Mandy and asked her about her lunch plans. To her credit, she didn’t ask me why. She replied quickly that she would be in the second floor break room having some leftovers around 11 hundred. That gave me about an hour to freshen up, hydrate, and relive the first time I got to enjoy Ms Mandy. It was a couple of weeks ago when Ms Olson told me I would getting a special visit. What that meant was the dynamic duo of Mandy and Candy. Both unicorns: single, bisexual women who happened to also be quite attractive. I’ll tell the story another time, but what’s important to know is the memory of those two that afternoon, and Mandy’s snapping cunt, had me on my way to hard even after two great climaxes.
Shortly after 11 hundred I sauntered into the break room on the second floor to find, unsurprisingly, both Mandy and Candy. But to my surprise, Ms Candy was now sporting black slacks, which she hadn’t been earlier. She was also wearing black lipstick and chewing what appeared to be half a pack of bubbleyum. As I entered neither woman looked at me, though Ms Candy was smiling and licking her lips.
I turned and locked the door.
Ms Candy said, “Why’d you lock the door?”
Ms Mandy shrugged and took another bite of her lunch, which smelled great. “I thought we might want to have a private discussion.”
Candy nodded and smiled. “I was going to get lunch in the cafe later. What did you want to talk about?”
Mandy shrugged, “I’m sure we’ll think of something.”
During this brief exchange, I had lifted Mandy to her feet, removed her skirt (no panties), and took off my slacks as well. I left Mandy standing and moved to Candy. She needed no guidance to take my nearly stiff cock in her mouth. Like many women in the firm, she was a practiced and enthusiastic fellatrix. I reached over and pinched Mandy’s nipples. She said, “Were you thinking of a protein drink?”
Candy pulled off me momentarily to reply, “I was kind of hoping for that, but sometimes you can’t get what you want.”
Mandy bent and took another bite as I twisted a nipple. She inhaled sharply, then let it out slowly. “Too true. I brought this but I’m still hoping for a nice warm sausage.”
Now that I was hard, I turned Mandy’s chair around and sat in it, then pulled her down on my cock. She was now facing Candy and mounting me astride. I now turned my efforts to snacking on her nipples. Mandy had smallish breasts, but the most important thing to me was partner responsiveness. Her nips were like tiny pink eraser tips, and they were connected directly to the orgasm center of her brain.
Candy asked, “Care to share if you do?”
As I licked and tugged Mandy’s nipples with my teeth and tongue, and she clamped down hard on my dick. When she wanted to, she had the tightest cunt ever.
I began slowly bouncing Mandy on my cock as I continued my attention to her nips. Candy cleared her throat, “You know I can tell when you’re doing Kegels, right?”
Pinching one nipple and sucking and nibbling the other, Mandy forgot about her lunch. She moaned rather obviously, and said, “Never a, ugh, bad time for exercise. Mmm.”
Having already climaxed twice, I was feeling somewhat in control, though it wasn’t easy with Mandy unpredictably squeezing my cock with an insane rippling sensation. Sometimes on the way up, sometimes on the way down. But through it all I kept firm control of her nipples. I could not see Candy, but the smacking of the gum stopped and I heard her chair back up. “Well, seeing as you locked the door to do your, um, exercises over lunch, you make me want to help.”
I looked up to see Candy lean down and take Mandy’s face in her hands and land a solid lip lock on her. The two of them moaned and Candy slid a hand down Mandy’s belly and right to her clit. The combined effect was to push Mandy right over the edge. And then it happened a second and third time. At the end of this the constant vigorous Kegel massage of my dick had me right on the edge. I lifted Mandy clear of my cock, and as it slapped against my belly I guided Candy right to it. No sooner was I in her mouth than I erupted. Maybe it was the whole scene, but I felt like I came a bucket.
When Candy finished sucking me dry, she immediately kissed Mandy, “Always great to meet for lunch,” she said.
Guiding Mandy to her still unsteady feet, I started to redress. “What do you know,” she began,“we both got what we were looking for.”
I unlocked the door and started to exit. Another woman, Jenny Soo, was there. I pulled the door shut behind me. “They’ll need a minute.” Her gaze shifted from me, to the door, and back to me. She nodded then turned away.
I stopped in the cafe on the way back to my office, aware that I no doubt smelled of sex but with too much of an appetite to really care. I got a sandwich from the grab 'n go and returned to my office. I was surprised to find Ms Olson sitting on my couch. I noted she, at least, had not changed attire.
She gave me her trademark cat got the canary grin, and said, “My sources tell me you are having quite the day. What’s your view?”
I sat down, took out two bottles of water and started to unwrap my lunch. I returned her look with my best version of it. “I have to say, the whole scenario is a hell of a turn on.”
She smirked, “You have what, two to go?” She looked at her watch, “And more than four hours to do it.”
I swallowed a big bite, “Two, yes, if no one changes their mind.”
An eyebrow rose, she said, “I see my sources are somewhat lacking, Mr Jeffries.” She leaned forward, her blouse falling away to give another awesome view. “Care to let me know?”
“I met Ms Mandy and Ms Candy for lunch. Well, in their words, Mandy had a warm sausage and Candy had to, ah, settle, for a protein shake.”
“The minx,” she said, still smiling as she stood. “Enjoy the rest of the day.”
As the door closed behind her I said to myself, “Not possible not to.”
The sandwich, which would have certainly been average on any other day, was awesome after the exertions of the morning. I again showered, dressed, and took a nap with my alarm set for 14 hundred. Ms Cartwright had a workout in her future.
Shortly after 14 hundred I walked into her office, where she appeared to have just started a meeting with another woman. I went over, took her hand and guided her to her feet.
“Jenny, where are you going?” The woman asked.
“Uh, urgent restroom break. We can reschedule,” Ms Cartwright replied as we walked out of her office.
Oh, I may have neglected to tell you about the new tri-graph I found on her badge this morning. All by itself were the three letters “SOB.” I was sure I’d never seen it before, and a quick check on the intranet site confirmed that. This new one, which stood for “Sex Object,” had been added only yesterday. Now, you may be thinking “Sex Object” was what’s been happening all day to that point, but not quite.
I walked her to my office, whereupon she stayed right where I left her. After closing the door, I slowly removed her clothes and hung them in my closet. I left my shirt on, but removed my slacks and shoes. I laid a towel on my couch and led her to her knees in front of that spot. I sat down in front of her and guided her mouth to my only half stiff cock. I put her hands behind her back and fondled her breasts as she started to suck me. While she typically wanted me to fuck her face, I figured the SOB wouldn’t mind doing something she typically didn’t opt for.
As she worked me with her tongue, I sat back and checked emails. Yes, I do believe this is the best way to perform that task. She was active, bobbing her head, licking the length of my shaft, flicking her tongue against my frenulum, and doing a good number of other things I couldn’t quite pin down.
I let her continue until I felt I could actually come, then I stood and led her over to sit on the couch. I put her ass right on the edge, then lifted her legs to put her knees against her shoulders. Putting her elbows under her knees to hold her legs back, she surprised me by almost putting her feet behind her head. Then I slid her hands downward and had her hold her labia spread wide. If you search for 'Viennese oyster’ you should get a decent visual.
While I had planned to just dive in, after all I was interested in enjoying her enjoying herself as well, presented as such with a nice wet cunt, I plunged my cock into her instead. Up until now she’d been staring straight ahead, no acknowledgement of what we were doing. But as I slammed into her, her eyes rolled and she let out a low moan. I fucked her hard, for about three or four minutes, until I felt I was close. Time for some oyster.
I pulled out and immediately dropped to my knees and pushed my face against her as hard as I could so I could get my tongue as deep as possible. I added a couple of fingers (this position makes her g-spot nicely accessible), and proceeded to give her a thorough tongue lashing. However, I paused regularly to keep her from coming. After several minutes I stopped, stood, and rearranged her so that she was in a kind of fetal position but with her arms wrapped around her legs. Her cunt and ass were again nicely accessible. Using a soft touch I had her close her eyes and I went to get something from my desk.
Rejoining her, I inserted the lube applicator into her ass without preamble. She groaned as I did. Dropping it on the floor I pushed my not quite fully had cock back into her cunt and started to fuck her slowly and deeply. I figured this would get both of us close, but not to the finish. Soon enough, she was moaning with desire and frustration, and I was fully hard and starting to get close. A few more strokes in her cunt and I hit that point where I knew I was going to come. At once I pulled out of her cunt and all but slammed into her ass. I came a couple of strokes later, grunting in satisfaction, and barking out “fuck!” as I pumped her full. Her own groan, and delightfully clenching asshole, signaled she was right there with me.
I waited until I was nearly soft before withdrawing and going into the washroom to clean up. When I came out and started to dress, she was still in position on the couch. I led her to her feet, had her open her eyes, which definitely said “Umm,” and slapped her ass to move her toward the closet. She took her clothes and went into the washroom. I was at my desk when she came out a little while later, walked over to me, and planted a full open mouth kiss on me for what must have been a full minute. As she broke the kiss I reached down her blouse and pinched a nipple, for which I was rewarded with squeak. “Bad SOB,” I said with a smile. She gave me an appraising look, then a long wink, and then she turned to go. I checked the time, 14 30. Making it back to stature by 16 hundred for Ms Maddox was going to be a challenge, but then something occurred to me. Smiling to myself I knocked back a bottle of water and some pineapple juice, then took to the couch for a nap before my last call. Ms Cartwright might not be done for the day after all.
I awakened instantly to my alarm, a behavior deeply ingrained by a few years on board ship. Unless I was physically unable to do so, a loud noise, alarm or such would bring me fully alert in a moment. Really bad things like fires might be rare on subs, but shit can, and does, happen.
It was 16 15 and Ms Maddox was on the menu as the last course of the day. I’d only been with her twice, the first being a romp in the gym when I didn’t even know who she was. She was tall, athletic, toned, and could be a dynamo when she wanted to. I hadn’t intended for her to be last, though to be fair someone had to be. Not having much of a plan, I tussled my hair, straightened my clothes and left my office. First stop was Ms Cartwright’s office, just in case a fluffer proved necessary. SOB collected, we walked to Ms Maddox’s office. I had my potential sex aid stand beside the office door, and the nearby executive assistant looked up at her, and said, “Do you need to see the boss, Jenny?”
She shook her head, then said, “Nope, I’m just going to hang out here in case I’m needed.”
“Needed for what, exactly?”
Jenny, Ms Cartwright, just shrugged and stayed in place. I went into the office. Inside I found Ms Maddox pacing her carpet angrily. Her fists were clenched, and upon hearing the door click she spun, no doubt to demand the exit of the intruder. However, her gaze swept over me and her features instantly, and only momentarily, relaxed. After all, there really wasn’t an intruder.
She turned her head and pushed her hair back, showing me a Bluetooth earpiece, which currently displayed a blue light. Her fists clenched again and she tapped the device and the light went dark. “I don’t care how badly your company wants to prime the Escher opportunity, Carol, don’t go up against us on this one. You’ll lose.” Well, the boss lady was keyed up. Time to get to work.
She was wearing a black skirt, which I removed as she continued to have her high tense discussion with the other party. Hanging it in the closet, I looked around her office until I found her workout gear and then a small towel. I placed this across the middle of her desk in front of her chair, then cleared a few things from the opposite side. As I guided her up onto the desk and sat her bare ass on the towel, I recall her ending the phone call with, “If that’s your final decision Carol, remember, there’s no I in team, but there is a 'u’ in fuck.” She actually said this last bit quite calmly, which was probably disorienting on the other end.
I sat in the chair in front of her and put her feet up on the arms. “Damn it,” she spat. “Jackie,” she yelled, “get Carlton on the line.”
I hadn’t had the chance to go down on Ms Maddox the last time we’d been together, so I stroked the inside of her thighs as I examined her cunt. She was an outie, with, in my experience, longer than average labia and a prominent, though perhaps not exactly large, clit. As I took her lips between my fingers and started to move them back and forth to stroke her clit, she moaned heavily and rested back on her elbows. This had the added effect of giving me even better access.
Boss lady was always in control, but when I licked her clit she suddenly reacted out of character, “Shit!” she yelped. Then she said, “Oh, sorry Bill. I managed to stub my toe right as we were connected.”
After a couple of minutes her clit was a solid nub, maybe half an inch long, and it was too good a target to pass up. Pulling her labia wide to pull on it, I put my lips around her clit and slid them down, slowly moving my tongue against her. Somehow she didn’t make a noise, but her right hand beat against her desk. I was stroking her entrapped clit with my tongue as her conversation continued. Then she gave me a slight tap on the head and I looked up. She gave me a 'pause gesture’, and I let go of her bits. She smiled, and was nodding as she tapped her earpiece again. “Thanks for that Bill,” she said, “We’re ready to discuss being exclusive on Escher.” She laughed, “Of course I was just on the phone with her, weren’t you?”
Seeing that I had a moment or two, I noticed I wasn’t close to hard enough to service her. Time for SOB round two for backup. I lifted Ms Maddox’s legs from the chair, stood up and put her legs back down. I went to the door, standing to the side so no one saw me, and reached for Ms Cartwright. I took hold of her arm and pulled her into the room, closing the door behind her.
As I led her to and then under the desk, she didn’t react and remained a good SOB. I sat back down in the chair, had Ms Cartwright take me in her mouth to start her fluffer action, and positioned Ms Maddox for her finale.
I was stroking her inner thighs, quite high up, still careful to stay away from her actual bits. I felt myself responding nicely to the blowjob I was getting, and smiled to myself at the number of threesomes I had suddenly been part of. “Bill,” the boss lady said, “that’s great. Let’s go win this thing.” Then she tapped me on the head again, and this time I nodded. Again I sucked her clit into my mouth, trapping it firmly between my lips and teeth. Putting my hands on her hips, I decided to continue, focused exclusively on her clit. Moving my tongue on her over and over, and stroking her bud with my lips, I could tell by her tensing and fidgeting that she was getting close. That was good, because I was now fully hard, and my fellatrix was going for the prize I intended to give Ms Maddox.
A few more strokes and Ms Maddox went rigid for a good ten seconds before her clit started to throb and then she let out a powerful grunt as she came. I continued my effort until those throbs became less powerful, then shifted to slightly stroking her. When at last I felt her breathing was near normal again, I went back to aggressively pleasuring her clit. Her breathing accelerated at once and I knew she was close.
Pulling out of Ms Cartwright’s mouth, I pushed back the chair, stood up and thrust myself fully into Ms Maddox. She grunted as I bottomed out, and her breathing picked right back up as I fucked her fast and furious. I hoped she was close, because I didn’t think I had many minutes of hardon left for the afternoon. Knowing I was close, I reached between us and tugged on her clit. She came a moment later, her clit pulsing between my fingers and her cunt clenching at my cock. I groaned and started to shoot my fifth load of the day into her.
I fucked her through our mutual orgasms, then slowed and finally stopped, still enjoying being inside her. At last she gave me a signal to withdraw, and I helped her to her feet and she went to her washroom. I reached under the table, pulled Ms Cartwright out and to her feet to find her quite flushed. I guided her to the door and ushered her out with a squeeze of her ass.
I redressed and left the office before Ms Maddox re-emerged. Returning to my office, I sank down in the chair and took a long drink of water. I realized the whole weekend might be needed to process the events of the day.
It was just before 17 hundred when the four ladies came for their bras. One by one they came in, held out a hand for said garment, and left with it. Next to last was Ms Maddox, who gave me a kiss as well. “What a fabulous way to start off the weekend,” she said.
Last was my SOB, Ms Cartwright. But she didn’t follow the others. She came in, locked the door, and sat down. “Now that it’s after hours, I’d like to talk.”
I wasn’t sure where this was going, but I had a suspicion; though I couldn’t tell you why. “About?” I asked.
“You, today, all of that.” she said with a leer.
“Something wrong?” I asked.
She smiled, “Quite the opposite. I thought you played today perfectly, even if the last part left me high and, eh, wet.”
“Thanks, I;”
“You always play me perfectly,” she interrupted. “And that’s what I want to talk about.”
“Jenny, trust me, I had no idea what I was doing. I just went along with every part.”
“And still it was awesome!”
I just nodded, still not sure where she was going with this.
“I have a proposition for you,” she said with a grin.
When I didn’t respond she said, “Join me for a full weekend?”
I thought about it for a moment and decided that might not be a good idea, “You know I think you’re awesome, but that’s here at Foxx Inc. Outside would be different, and might make things weird at work.”
She looked disappointed, but not upset. “So that’s it then?”
“Not 'it’, and not forever. But certainly for today, for now,” I said.
And then, to my great relief, she smiled, squared her shoulders and stood up. “Ok Tom, challenge accepted for the next time.”
“Challenge?” I asked.
She winked, “I’ll get you to spend a weekend with me sometime, mister.” Then she left.
I sat in my chair, wondering what the next, right move was with her, when a couple of minutes later, the door clicked and in walked Ms Olson. This time, like many others, just a step short of a walking dream. “Tom, how are you?” Before I could reply she added, “What did Jenny want to talk about in private?”
I wasn’t sure how she knew the door had been locked, but I didn’t bother to dishevel. “She wanted to continue the fun over the weekend.”
She crossed her legs, holding her top knee in her hands, “Really? Well, color me surprised.” She paused, watching me like an antelope at the watering hole. “And why did you say no?”
Rather than acknowledge her seeming ability to read my mind at times, I shrugged and said, “It would be fun, but it sounded too, well, off the books.”
“So you thought about agreeing for some time?”
“For a time, I was tempted by her offer,” I said, wondering if Ashley would get the reference.
“How much time?” she replied, quite to my surprise.
“Actually, zero point six eight seconds.”
Ashley guffawed, then snorted, then waved a hand wildly at me for a few seconds before she collected herself enough to say and laugh at the same time, “You’re no Data!”
I laughed with her for a good minute, and then as we calmed down, she gave me a hug and kiss. “Tom, would you like to spend the weekend with someone?”
My expression must have given me away, and she smiled quickly and touched my arm, “No Tom, I don’t mean me, though I find it quite flattering that you would think so. Go home, and when there is a knock at your door, make up your own mind.”
I returned her hug, “Thanks Ashley.”
“You bet. And no obligations. Two consenting adults and all that,” she said. Then she broke the embrace and departed.
I arrived home about thirty minutes later, finished off the one beer I typically let myself have, and about an hour after that, I was just starting to think about dinner when there was a knock at my door. I opened it to find a brown haired woman of my height on the doorstep with a bag in her hand. She looked familiar, and after a moment I recognized her, though I did not know her name. She’d never been in the rotation. I backed away and held the door wide, “Would you like to come in?”
She regarded me with kind eyes, nodded, and entered, dropping her bag near the door, which I shut behind her. She turned and looked at me, “You don’t know my name, do you?”
“No, but to be fair I work with a lot of people.”
“You’ve been there long enough to know everyone.”
“That’s true, I admit. In my defense, you’ve never been on the, uh, schedule, and we’ve never talked.” Suddenly, two pieces of data about her clicked. “You’re Melissa Johnston.”
“Mel, Johnson,” she corrected. Then looked quizzically at me, “how did you;”
“There are only a few women at the firm not in the, ah, rotation,” I started. “Though no one ever talks about the reasons.”
She was still looking at me, her eyes unchanged, “But do you know my reason?”
“You’re engaged,” I said.
“I’m certain relationship status doesn’t affect your job, does it Tom?” she asked coolly.
“I can only assume the engagement is the reason you aren’t in the rotation, I’ll never ask. Everyone who decides to, ah, play, does so of their own volition. You yourself are a good example. No one ever should ask why others choose to play or not.”
“You don’t think they talk about it?” she asked with a sharp note in her voice.
I shook my head, “I’ve never heard one person question why another did or did not join in. And everyone discusses the PBS arrangement pretty freely. Seems to me it is very much up to the individual.”
She gave me a small smile, “Okay Tom, then here it is.” She turned from me, walked a bit, then turned back, “I was engaged, for several months. I thought we were exclusive until my fiancé proved me wrong. Now, instead of having someone to come home to every day, I’ve been sick and lonely for a month. A month! And it sucks!”
I said nothing and let her continue, and after a few moments she did, “I’m not looking for a fucking replacement, but it would be nice to enjoy a weekend with someone and not feel like I was going to get screwed over for doing so!”
And then she started to sob, and I wondered what the fuck Ashley had been thinking. And then I realized Ashely knew exactly what the hell she’d been up to. I took Mel in my arms and gave her a hug. “I would really like someone too,” I said and we both giggled. “While screwing your coworkers is a lot of fun, it makes for lonely weekends.”
She sniffled, wiped her nose on her sleeve and looked up at me, “Lonely? Really?”
I shrugged, “Well, maybe more restful and lonely than just lonely.”
She laughed, nodded, then gave me a brief kiss on the cheek. “I didn’t come here looking for sex.”
“And I don’t expect it. So what do you say to ordering some food, watching a movie or two, and going to bed with a comfortable presence that doesn’t have expectations?”
“Thai?” She suggested.
“Nah, Lebanese?” I rejoined.
She sneered, “Korean?”
I shook my head. “Pizza?”
She smiled; “Meatlovers!”
And with that I called my favorite joint.
We watched two movies, and snuggled up in bed without a hint of sex and got a great night’s sleep. Which is not to say the rest of the weekend stayed completely platonic.

Ten years after his death, the Seattle painter is having a moment. Reporter Margo Vansynghel discusses the increased interest in his work.When Alden Mason was in the prime of his career, he was well-known among those who followed art in Seattle and those who collected it. Yet the artist from Skagit Valley never saw the success of other 20th-century Northwest painters like Morris Graves and Mark Tobey. Now a recent surge of interest in Mason's work has put his legacy a little closer in kind to that of those so-called Northwest Mystics. Of particular note have been the sale prices of his paintings at multiple auctions, which have doubled in just the past year. For this episode of Crosscut Reports, guest host Mark Baumgarten talks with Vansynghel about her quest to understand why Mason's art is having a moment, what it tells us about the current art market and, surprisingly, how it might have inspired an alleged fake.Read our full report on Alden Mason and his increasingly popular paintings here. ---CreditsHost/executive producer: Mark BaumgartenReporter: Margo VansynghelProducer: Seth Halleran---If you would like to support Crosscut, go to crosscut.com/membership.

What can Jell-O tell us about the United States during the Gilded Age? What about Spam during World War II?
According to Anna Zeide, food historian and author of the new book “US History in 15 Foods,” they can tell us a lot about the evolution of American values, government — and of course, the American economy.
On the show today, Zeide walks us through the history baked into food items from all-American whiskey to Korean tacos. And, why food is often much more than something we simply eat.
In the News Fix, we remember Judy Heumann, an activist who championed crucial pieces of disability rights legislation. Also, eyes are on Walgreens after the company said it would stop dispensing abortion pills in some Republican-led states where abortion is still legal. Plus, we’ll get into why some women in high-level positions are too burned out to stay in the workforce.
Later, a listener sings us a song inspired by Marketplace’s Nova Safo. And, this week’s answer to the Make Me Smart question comes from a listener who was wrong about dancing.

Fight Laugh Feast Conference - Ark Encounter
This year, our Fight Laugh Feast Conference is at the Ark Encounter in Kentucky on The Politics of Six Day Creation. The politics of six day creation is the difference between a fixed standard of justice and a careening standard of justice, the difference between the corrosive relativism that creates mobs and anarchy and the freedom of objectivity, truth, and due process. The politics of six day creation establishes the authority and sufficiency of God’s Word for all of life: from what is a man or a woman, when does human life begin, and how is human society best organized?
Come hear Ken Ham, Pastor Doug Wilson, Dr. Ben Merkle, Dr. Gordon Wilson, me and more, and of course a live CrossPolitic show! Mark your calendars for October 11th-14th, as we fight, laugh, and feast, with beer & psalms, our amazing lineup of speakers, our Rowdy Christian Merch, and a Sabbath Feast to wrap up the occasion. Maybe an infant baptism while we’re at it! Visit fightlaughfeast.com for more information!

Greeks Protest Over Deadly Train Crash, Station Master Jailed Pending Trial
ATHENS (Reuters) -A Greek railway employee was jailed on Sunday pending trial over a deadly train crash that killed at least 57 people, as Greeks seethed with anger over the worst rail disaster in living memory.
Protests continued to reverberate days after a head-on collision of a passenger train and a freight carrier on the Athens-Thessaloniki route late in the evening of Feb. 28.
Clashes erupted between police and demonstrators in Athens on Sunday, after thousands rallied to protest over the crash.
The 59-year-old Larissa station master faces multiple charges of disrupting transport and putting lives at risk.
The man, who cannot be named under Greek law, was questioned for seven hours before a magistrate on Sunday before being detained.
"For about 20 cursed minutes he was responsible for the safety of the whole of central Greece," his lawyer said.
On Thursday, his lawyer said that his client was devastated and had assumed responsibility "proportionate to him" but other factors were also at play, without elaborating.
Railway workers say the country's rail network has been creaking under cost-cutting and underinvestment, a legacy of Greece's debilitating debt crisis from 2010 to 2018.
The Prime Minister of transportation, who blamed the crash on human error, acknowledged that decades of neglect could have contributed to the disaster.
"As prime minister, I owe everyone, but most of all the relatives of the victims, an apology," he wrote on his Facebook account. "Justice will very fast investigate the tragedy and determine liabilities."
After protests over the past three days across the country, some 10,000 people gathered in an Athens square on Sunday to express sympathy for the lives lost and to demand better safety standards on the rail network.
"That crime won't be forgotten," protesters shouted as they released black balloons into the sky. A placard read: "Their policies cost human lives."
Railway workers' unions say safety systems throughout the rail network have been deficient for years as a remote surveillance and signalling system has not been delivered on time. They have called on the government to provide a timetable for the implementation of safety protocols.
The prime minister of transportation said on Sunday that if there had been a remote system in place throughout the rail network "it would have been, in practice, impossible for the accident to happen".

Man arrested after allegedly trying to open emergency door on plane and stabbing flight attendant
A Massachusetts man was arrested for allegedly attempting to stab a flight attendant in the neck with a broken metal spoon three times during a flight from Los Angeles to Boston on Monday, after attempting to open an emergency exit door, according to the Justice Department.
Francisco Severo Torres, 33, faces one charge of interference and attempted interference with flight crew members and attendants using a dangerous weapon. Torres was arrested at Boston Logan International Airport Monday and will remain detained pending a hearing set for Thursday.
During a United Airlines flight from Los Angeles to Boston, the flight crew saw an alarm that a door in the plane had been disarmed and, after inspection, a flight attendant saw the door’s locking handle had been pushed out of the fully locked position and an emergency slide arming lever had been disarmed, according to the Justice Department.
A flight attendant who saw Torres near the door went to talk to Torres about the door, according to the department, who asked if there were cameras showing he had tampered with the door.
“According to court documents, the flight attendant then notified the captain that they believed Torres posed a threat to the aircraft and that the captain needed to land the aircraft as soon as possible,” the Justice Department said.
Soon after, Torres allegedly got out of his seat, mouthing something, before thrusting “towards one of the flight attendants in a stabbing motion with a broken metal spoon, hitting the flight attendant on the neck area three times,” the department said.
Torres was then tackled by other passengers on the flight and was immediately taken into custody after the flight landed.
According to a criminal complaint, Torres told investigators he broke a spoon in half a bathroom on the airplane to use as a weapon. He also told law enforcement that he tried to open the emergency door and “had gotten the idea” to jump out of the plane, according to the complaint.
Torres told investigators he was trying to defend himself and tried to stab the flight attendant because he believed they were trying to kill him, the complaint states.
The flight attendant felt the object Torres was holding in his hand “hit him on his shirt collar and tie three times,” according to the complaint.
United Airlines says it has banned Torres from flying on future flights following this incident.

Poll: One-Third of Biden 2020 Voters Do Not Want Him to Run Again
More than one-third of Biden 2020 voters do not want him to run for reelection in 2024, a recent survey from YouGov/The Economist revealed.
The survey found 58 percent, overall, revealing they do not want President Joe Biden to run for office again in 2024, while 24 percent said they do. Another 18 percent remain unsure.
Predictably, opinions are divided along party lines, as 83 percent of Republicans and 59 percent of independents do not want him to run. Less than a majority of Democrats, 43 percent, believe Biden should run in 2024, while more than one-third, 34 percent, said he should not. Another 23 percent of Democrats remain unsure.
Notably, over one-third of Biden 2020 voters, 36 percent, do not want him to run in the next presidential race, while less than a majority, 39 percent, said he should. One-quarter of Biden 2020 voters remain unsure. For further comparison, most Trump 2020 voters, 55 percent, want former President Donald Trump to run in 2024, and 53 percent of Republicans across the board say the same.
The survey was taken February 25-28, 2023, among 1,500 U.S. adult citizens.
It coincides with other polls showing Biden’s inability to win over a majority of Democrats to support his potential 2024 presidential bid. A recent Fox News survey, for instance, found 53 percent of Democrat voters asserting that “someone else” should be their nominee in the forthcoming presidential election, compared to 37 percent who said “keep Biden” as the nominee.
As Breitbart News reported:
The article added further perspective to Biden’s figures among the Democrat base, noting that Trump saw far more support from his Republican base at the same point in his presidency, as 72 percent of Republican voters wanted to see him as the GOP nominee again in 2020.
Similarly, a McLaughlin & Associates survey released last month found just more than a quarter, 26 percent, supporting Biden in a crowded Democrat field.

AG pushes state level 'Ministry of Truth' critics say could jail conservatives who express mainstream views
A state attorney general is advocating for a bill some critics argue could punish outspoken conservatives as domestic extremists, KTTH's Jason Rantz reported Wednesday.
"Some conservative views, or anything [Washington state Attorney General Bob Ferguson] deems as 'misinformation,' are examples of 'domestic extremism,'" Rantz said.
It's the "most dangerous bill in legislative history," the Seattle radio host added.
Washington is creating a state version of the ill-fated "Ministry of Truth," according to Rantz and others who have analyzed the bill.
The controversial bill proposes the establishment of a commission on domestic violence extremism. Rep. Bill Ramos, a Democrat, sponsored the bill which would create the 13-member commission.
HB 1333 describes the duties of the proposed commission as involving efforts to "combat disinformation and misinformation" and collecting data on incidents of "domestic violent extremism," the Center Square explains.
Though DVE is not explicitly defined in the bill, Ferguson has described the term as including noncriminal activities or speech, the outlet also says.
The legislation was spawned by the Attorney General's 2022 "Domestic Terrorism" study, according to Center Square. That study warned that "effective State intervention to address these threats has the potential to implicate speech or association that may be protected by the First Amendment, or the individual right to bear arms protected by the Second Amendment."
Further, the commission, though charged with examining ways to treat DVE as a public health issue through the state's Department of Health, would have only one member required to be an expert in public health.
The basic idea is to "take preemptive measures to stop actual domestic terrorist acts through community intervention."
Such "community intervention" could include, for example, compelling people identified as "extremists" to undergo counseling, according to Rantz's interpretation of comments Ferguson made in an interview with PBS in January.
How a Washington state plan to fight domestic extremism could be a model for the nation- Play Video 3:13-5:46
Rantz went on to explain that opposing critical race theory, mask mandates, and radical gender ideology could all be seen by the commission as tied to "white supremacy."
Now lastly, let’s end on some good news:
https://www.dailywire.com/news/walgreens-wont-distribute-abortion-pill-in-21-states-spokesperson-says
Walgreens Won’t Distribute Abortion Pill In 21 States, Spokesperson Says
American pharmacy chain Walgreens faced backlash over the weekend after announcing it would not sell abortion pills in states where the drugs remain legal after nearly two dozen Republican state attorney generals threatened legal action against the company.
Walgreens, the second-largest pharmaceutical chain in the United States, told Politico last week they would not dispense abortion pills either by mail or at locations in 21 states, including Alaska, Iowa, Kansas, and Montana, where the drug is legal.
The decision followed a letter from 20 Republican attorneys general last month, who warned of violating state laws if the company mailed out abortion pills. Several other pharmacies, including CVS, Walmart, and Costco, also received a similar letter from those state officials.
Following the announcement, Business Insider reported the phrases “Walgreens” and “#BoycottWalgreens” trended on Twitter as critics called on consumers to stop supporting the pharmacy — which cited tweets from one of President Joe Biden’s aides, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, and Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) — all calling on the pharmacy to reverse its decision.
Kristi Hamrick, a spokesperson for Students for Life, praised Walgreens’ decision.
Students for Life and other pro-life groups have also written to Walgreens and CVS, threatening “legal ramifications” for the pharmacies if they begin filling prescriptions for abortion pills, Politico reported.
Other states Walgreens included in the announcement were those that made it illegal to dispense the abortion pill through mail such as Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and West Virginia.

Toby Lunstad was an occupational therapist and manager when she realized her daughter Addilynn’s needs were significant enough that she needed to give up employment. Toby had run out of paid leave and was having to constantly correct her daughter’s hired caregivers, so she didn’t feel safe leaving Addilynn with them to go back to work.
That was three years ago and Addilynn has blossomed under the focused care of her mother.
“She is doing way better,” Toby tells Medical Motherhood, “even friends that we don’t see a lot have noticed a difference, even in her affect. She’s way less stressed out. It hasn’t been easy though.”
The family now relies entirely on Addilynn’s mechanic dad, Shawn, working long days and weekends in his auto shop. He has to make one income that can pay for the health insurance Toby gave up, as well as the rest of the bills.
Toby is now campaigning for legislation in North Dakota that would allow parents and guardians like her to be paid for their minor child’s Medicaid in-home services. She has an email list 50 people strong and the bill, SB 2276, sailed through North Dakota’s Senate on a unanimous vote Feb. 14. Next, it has to pass the House before the legislative session is scheduled to end April 28.
North Dakota is one of two states in the nation, according to a recent study, that as of November 2020 had no paid family caregivers, the other one being Alaska. During the COVID-19 federal public health emergency, several states used Medicaid flexibilities authorized by the Trump and Biden Administrations to allow legal guardians (usually parents) to be paid providers. North Dakota was not one of them.
Toby said she started campaigning on the new legislation last September and was prepared for pushback that so far has not materialized. Mostly, says the central North Dakota resident, the response she’s gotten from state senators is: “Why isn’t this a thing; why aren’t people able to do this already?”
But, she says, the biggest hurdle remains the budget.
“They’re just really hesitant because nobody knows how much it will cost,” Toby says.
A fiscal note, presented by North Dakota’s Developmental Disabilities Division Director Tina Bay, shows an estimated annual cost of $8.1 million for 320 participants. North Dakota, with a population of about 775,000 people, has about 6,000 people on its Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) waivers. SB 2276 would allow paid family caregivers across the age spectrum, not just to minors, at a daily rate of $150.38, five days per week. School-aged children would be eligible for half-days.
That restriction frustrates Toby, who homeschools her child due to the increased incidents of seizures under the stress of public school. But she says she intends to go back to the legislature in future years to combat the reduced payment.
As many state legislatures budget based on bienniums — every two years — the projected cost to the state of the program for 2025-27 is $11.5 million, with another $12.8 million from the federal government. Since the program has an anticipated start date of July 2024, that would be the program’s first full biennium.
Toby says that is about as much state money as was transferred out of the DD division’s budget recently due to unused caregiver hours.
“Because there’s nobody to hire,” she says is the reason the hours weren’t used, “and the ones that you do get to hire are not very good most of the time.”
A study released last month in The Journal of Pediatrics shows a three-year retention rate of just 9 percent for paid in-home care providers in Colorado. In contrast, paid family providers (which has been an option in Colorado for many years) have an 82 percent retention rate. The study examined Colorado’s Certified Nursing Assistant program, rather than an attendant care program like North Dakota’s, which would not require a certification.
Toby says care provider agencies are also asking the legislature for more money this year for recruitment and retention.
“The agencies are being asked: ‘Where are you going to find the people?’ – They don’t have answers, so we’ve been trying to capitalize on that,” Toby says: “‘We are! We are the people who can be paid!’”
(Story continues below) Read more from North Dakota’s former Medicaid Director Caprice Knapp on what the state is doing with American Rescue Plan Act funds, including supports for family caregivers, in a National Academies panel discussion last June:
Every state has its own idiosyncratic blend of Medicaid waivers and North Dakota is no different. For children, it has four 1915(c) waivers, one of which serves people of all ages. According to KidsWaivers.org, all of them waive parental income. The state also has a 1915(i) program for autistic children ages 15 and younger. Toby says the eligibility criteria for the paid parent caregiver program is yet to be worked out but would be based on the child’s annual assessment.
“It will really depend on the needs of the individual,” Toby says. “Being on the autism waiver will not exclude them from potentially be able to access this service option, their level of care will determine it.”
Toby says her group — which has assistance from North Dakota’s Family Voices chapter and its Protection and Advocacy office — wanted the legislation to encompass coming changes and expansions to its waiver programs.
The state has been working to expand access to HCBS — and relocating participants away from institutionalized settings — after a recent settlement agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice. The DOJ opened the investigation in 2015 after receiving complaints from disabled adults who said they “were forced to enter, or were at serious risk of entering, nursing facilities to receive necessary services.”
Toby says it’s not unusual for North Dakota families to get turned away for services — even for significant needs — and not appeal or reapply.
“Our waiver definitely needs some improvement,” Toby says. But for the paid parent caregiver option, she hopes: “We’re not going to have to fight for this again. It’s just going to always be there.”
The next stage for SB 2276 is a March 8 hearing in the House. Forty-three of North Dakota’s 47 senators, including the bill’s sponsors, are Republican. Only 12 of the 94 representatives in the House are Democrats.
The bill’s language is 22 lines long and defines the service parents could be paid for as “care exceeding the range of activities a legally responsible individual would ordinarily perform in the household on behalf of an individual without extraordinary medical needs, and which is necessary to assure the health and welfare of the individual and avoid institutionalization.”
“We kept it simple on purpose,” Toby says. “We don’t want to have to jump through a bunch of hoops.”

• From PBS: “Why Oregon is the worst-ranked state for youth mental health”
[…]there's an organization called Mental Health America, and every year they put out annual survey ranking how states provide care to mental illness and how severe the crisis is. And Oregon, unfortunately, ranks dead last in the country as far as young people who are struggling with their mental illness and their access to care. It's the highest rate of young people in this country with one serious depressive episode. It is the third highest number of children with substance abuse disorders and ranks 42nd in the country for those children with those depressive episodes not getting care.
And so there are a bunch of reasons why this happened. A recent state audit looked at several different factors staffing shortages, poor data, and just overall lack of beds. We, in fact, in our reporting found that in the entire state, there are only 40 beds for the most acute children who need this kind of care.
And there's also this issue of Oregon being a rural state. I mean, there are several major cities, and the majority of people live in those cities, but a lot of the state lives in places where it's hours to care. Mental health officials tell us once they discharge those people, they're going back to communities where there may not be a single psychiatrist in town to help them.

• From New Atlas: “Classroom robot helps keep kids with learning disabilities on track”
Students with learning disabilities (LD) struggle with particular skills like reading, writing, or mathematics and often require additional, individualized support to fill educational gaps. A team of researchers and experts has found that a cute little robot may help children with learning disabilities stay focused.
[…]The brainchild of scientists Dr Pouyan Ziafati and Dr Aida Nazarikhorram, QT was the first robot developed specifically as a tool to assist children with ASD [autism spectrum disorder]. It can gesture with its head and arms, display facial expressions, and speak.
[…]The study showed that the students who partook in sessions with QT engaged in fewer off-task behaviors and showed greater engagement. The students perceived the robot as friendly, intelligent, and enjoyable and would be willing to engage with QT in future sessions.
Feedback from the instructors demonstrated that, to a large degree, they found the robot’s intervention effective and helpful in maintaining the students’ focus and engagement.
“There is definitely a great potential for using robots in the public education system,” said Dr Kerstin Dautenhahn, a professor of electrical and computer engineering and an author of the study. “Overall, the findings imply that the robot has a positive effect on students.”
Further studies using QT are planned to further investigate the utility of robot-assisted learning for children with learning disabilities.
• From STAT (Opinion): “Fixing U.S. public health will require a health-systems revolution — and for physicians to take a backseat”
[…]While the clinical frameworks that characterize medical training are appropriate for the one-to-one encounters of patient care, misapplying them to the population-level problems of public health leads to a failure to effectively anticipate and address the social conditions upon which disease and disability feed. This, in turn, fuels a top heavy, reactive national health policy that prioritizes profitable medical treatment rather than cost- and life-saving prevention via community-based social services. Declining life expectancy in the U.S. — now at its lowest in nearly two decades — reflects the consequences of this policy choice.
[…]the most effective public health systems are designed and implemented from the bottom up. They see world “from below” — that is, from the most marginalized positions in a society where the obstructions to health are most apparent and oppressive. Enabling this kind of approach requires listening to, valuing, and directly involving individuals with lived experience of how and who the existing systems are failing: people who are unhoused, elderly, immunocompromised, migrant agricultural workers, racialized, those identifying as LGTBQ+, those living with histories of incarceration, and otherwise vulnerable groups.

I interviewed Dr. Colleen Kelley who is a Chemistry Instructor and Creator/Founder of Kids' Chemical Solutions. Her program consists of a series of comic books where characters represent different chemicals. Colleen is in her research phase and working with 4th graders to see how they take to this new way of learning chemistry. She says "When the class is over they do not want to stop!" The kids are loving chemistry and feel great success in their understanding of what is commonly known as one of the most difficult subjects. Kids' brains are ripe for learning this content. Her goal is to make this program accessible for all to create a more equitable education system. She shares a startling statistic that shows this truly is a civil rights issue. "In 2022 there was a 80% failure rate for underrepresented students in chemistry after two years."

First day of work at Foxx Inc..By PtmcPilot – listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories.
As a brief recap, I had separated from the Navy a few weeks ago after six years in submarines. Growing bored of lounging around my parents’ house, I began a job search, and to my surprise I found myself in an interview a short time later. An interview, believe it or not, that ended with my having sex with my hiring manager. My job, should I choose to accept it, was to sexually service the women of Foxx Inc. Just based on the interview, good work if you can get it. We pick up my journal record where the Friday job interview was finishing..
I stood and removed my shirt. Through lidded eyes she watched as I pushed down my pants and underwear. She smiled when my slightly longer than average cock (as accurately reported on the questionnaire) came into view. “Would you please have intercourse with me now Thomas?”
I said, “If you don’t think it terribly rude, I would rather fuck you, Ms. Olson.”
“Um, that sounds fine to me,” she said with a husky voice.
Placing myself at her entrance, I pushed into her in one long, languid stroke, luxuriating in the snug, warm and wet feel of her cunt. Fully sheathed, she gave me a squeeze then placed my hands on her breasts. “Be rough with my nipples; I’ll let you know if you go too far.” I took her breasts in my hands, pressing them together even as I started to pinch her nipples. Her back arched as I did so, suggesting I was at least not going too far. I withdrew and started fucking her with long slow strokes.
After a few minutes of simply enjoying the feel of her, I asked, “So, how many women are we talking about?”
“My your cock feels good,” she purred, “Um, what was that? Oh! Yes, we currently have forty five on staff.”
Damn her cunt felt great as she gripped me on the way out. I reseated myself with a sudden quick stroke and she gasped. “I do believe I have found a satisfactory replacement,” she said as she smiled at me. My thrusting slowly became more and more forceful, and urgent. She stopped moaning briefly to say, “I may have forgotten to tell you something important.”
I heard her, and didn’t process it. My thrusts were now getting frantic, and my partner knew quite clearly what that meant. “Mr. Jeffries, when you are servicing a woman in the Firm and she is wearing blue or black lipstick, you are to ejaculate in her mouth when you finish.” As she said that I had that feeling you get when you know you are a few seconds from orgasm. And it finally registered she was wearing black lipstick.
“Better get in position then, Ms. Olson!” I grunted through gritted teeth as I pulled out of her delectable cunt.
She slid off the table and to her knees in front of me. Placing her hands on my ass, she took my cock in her mouth and began to bob her head as she attacked me with her tongue. Already past the point of no return I grabbed handfuls of her hair but did not pull her to me. As she sucked wildly on the head of my cock I grunted out that I was coming. Then, I teetered on the edge, that glorious edge of not quite there, and then I quite literally saw stars as I exploded in her mouth. I could not see how much I was coming, but it sure felt like a lot. I shot several strong bursts into her mouth before she gave me one last suck and I collapsed back onto the chair. I grinned stupidly at her as she appeared to swish my ejaculate around in her mouth before swallowing rather demonstrably. Grinning like the Cheshire cat, she leaned forward and gave me a peck on the lips. “Quite acceptable Mr. Jeffries, quite acceptable. You need to increase your water intake and consider adding some pineapple juice, but quite acceptable.”
“You mean, if I take the job,” I said with some cheek.
“Monday, 0 900,” she said, apparently ignoring my statement. It had been frivolous after all.
“Will you tell me what Tilly told you?” I asked.
As she dressed she answered me very offhandedly. “I contacted her, had her sign and NDA, then paid her a large amount of cash to characterize you as a lover.”
I followed her lead and began dressing. “To be precise, I did not ask; ‘what did you ask her,’ but rather what she told you.”
She kissed me, then smiled, “So very much the right choice,” and she patted my cheek, “When you pay people upfront they may tell you nothing, but they never lie. She gushed on about you, which is something you should look into, before she paused, then said quite steadily, ‘eager, pleasing, vigorous, energetic, trainable,’” she paused for effect, “and very good. Why, is he available?” Her look said, 'that’s precisely the words she used. “And the last thing she said before I thanked her was, 'you snap him up.’”
I didn’t have anything to say to that except that I might have to look Tilly up soon.
Ms. Olson adjusted her skirt and donned her top before picking up her jacket. “As you might expect, Mr. Jeffries, we have policies and procedures.” She winked at me, then took a pamphlet from the desk and handed it to me as she sat on the desk in front of me again. “That contains everything you need to know. Please commit it to memory by Monday.”
I took the pamphlet and she said, “One other thing, you can play up the fantasy element.”
“Fantasy element?” I asked.
She smiled, a brilliant expression on her face. “You are the hunk of a package delivery man. The building super who always has just.the.right. tool. You are the plumber showing up when the poor lady of the house doesn’t have the money to pay.” She pulled me in for a hug and whispered in my ear, “Dress the part and keep these women happy.” She kissed me hard after that speech, a furious and inspired attack on my lips and tongue. I was almost ready to go again when she stopped and pushed me back.
After I finished dressing as she watched me, she looped her arm through mine and escorted me out of the building. “I’ll start you off at three. See you Monday at 0 900 for orientation.”
There was the twenty-four hour time again. “Three? Or nine?” I said, a bit confused.
As she pushed me out the door she winked at me and said, “Servicing three of the staff per day, starting at oh-nine hundred.”
I don’t remember the drive home as all I did was replay the afternoon in my mind and smile like an idiot. Well, a happy, grinning idiot. I was looking forward to some weekend reading and a little uniform shopping before starting work on Monday.
Friday evening after the interview went by in a blur, or more of a daze I guess. After a couple of hours staring at the ceiling wondering if I was still in the same reality, I realized the truth: my reality had, in fact, changed. Picking up the booklet given to me by the HR Rep, Ms. Olson, I took a deep breath and started to read. Some of the material was plain, for example, requirements for my workout regimen, typically working hours, parking, security procedures, and general responsibilities akin to those of a building manager. However, as I expected, other parts were anything but plain.
The Provider of Building Services, PBS, is responsible for meeting the sexual needs of the female staff of Foxx Inc according the rules, procedures, and customs identified herein. Every day a certain number (controlled by HR) of randomly selected women have access to the PBS spaces via key card. While more than one woman may be in the spaces at a time, the doors will only permit access to women on the services roster for that day.
I wondered who, if anyone, checked up on this in practice. Limiting access helped with privacy to some extent, but someone had to know. Most likely security, but I supposed you have to trust someone. I read on.
Unless expressly permitted by additional guidance (e.g., Special Circumstances), the PBS shall provide services described herein strictly within the confines of the PBS spaces.
One particularly interesting section was about staff key cards. Usage of one card was something that probably should have been moved to my security indoc. A set of tri-graphs on the front of the badge indicated clearances, and these were to be matched with door mounted placards prior to attempting entry to a secure space. Attempting access to an unauthorized space was a security violation.
A second key card had a completely different set of tri-graphs.
As there are situations in which the PBS may find himself engaging in an act with a staff member without prior discussion, tri-graphs on the reverse indicate acceptable acts without prior agreement.
Wow, I stopped reading and mused about how that situation might, er, arise. I flipped to the back of the booklet and read over some of the codes. They were numerous, and included “VSX”, “ASX”, “OSX”, “FOX”. These stood for, as you might have guessed, vaginal sex, anal, oral and fellatrix (sort of). There were a couple dozen of these, catering to most sexual acts I’d either done or thought of. I supposed I had better keep the 'decoder ring’ nearby for the first few weeks to be sure I didn’t misstep. Then there were some modifiers, such as:
When servicing staff members wearing blue or black lipstick, ejaculation, should it take place, is to be inside the woman’s mouth.
What a place to go to work!
The PBS shall shower after each encounter and log in his work calendar when complete. This is so the next woman desiring to take advantage of the service has a good idea of when to show up after a sufficient rest period.
I wondered how the duration of my rest period was to be determined, then I shrugged. Something to worry about later.
Special circumstances. From time to time there may be modifications to these rules put forward for specific periods of time. The terms and conditions of these events will be published ahead of time so as to prevent confusion. As an example, quarterly a “Free Use” day event is held. On such days, subject to the specific terms of the day, the PBS may make sexual use of any staff member wearing a blue or black dress or skirt without prior agreement. This may occur at any time, in any part of the building. The PBS alone is responsible for ensuring no embarrassment befalls Foxx Inc. as a result. For example, it would not be appropriate to engage a staff member in intercourse or have her perform fellatio, while visible on a conference call with persons outside of the firm.
As if things could not get any stranger, here I was reading about how my new place of work had days with sex on demand for myself as well! Once again, wow.
Weekends. In the unusual event that staff are scheduled to work hours in the office on a weekend or holiday, the PBS will be paid on an exponential scale according to how many staff are serviced during the time. There are no access limits during these times.
In general the PBS should expect from three to six visits per day. If the PBS is unable to provide service on request, this will be logged and the staff member provided a 'rain check.’ Repeated inability to provide service may be grounds for termination. Based on past history, the PBS is discouraged from personal sexual relationships as well as masturbation on days prior to work (aka, school nights).
Having finished most of the reading, the thought of rubbing one out did cross my mind. However, I decided to take a pause and look forward to Monday. Besides, there were things I needed to take care of.
For one, I needed a place to live now that I had a job. I scoured some real estate sites and made some appointments for weekend viewings. It was time to leave my parents, though at least I’d still be living nearby.
For another, I needed appropriate attire for work as described by Ms. Olson. I searched for uniform retailers and identified several in town. I also still had my submarine coveralls, which had the advantages of comfort and ease of access. I figured my underwear selection needed a boost as well, so some department stores got added to the list.
After night’s sleep punctuated by reliving my encounter with Ms. Olson, my Saturday was filled with visits to apartments (I didn’t have enough stuff to warrant a whole house) and stops at uniform suppliers. On the second try I found exactly what I was looking for: a wide variety of uniforms, and custom made at that. The staff took my measurements before having me page through their on-line catalog of uniforms. Auto repair shops, custodial staff, HVAC companies, plumbing companies, and even a couple security companies. If they thought it strange I was ordering all kinds of different clothes, they didn’t say anything about it. And though I was eager to tell someone of my good fortune, I did not. I did, however, tell them of my need to have at least one available on Monday, one on Tuesday, and the rest soon after. And with appropriate name badges, which were just random male names instead of mine alone. Although it would cost 50% more, they said they could deliver.
It wasn’t until Sunday afternoon that the perfect apartment crossed my path. The building was a new mixed development, with reasonably spacious apartments in the floors over retail stores and restaurants. Best of all it was located only a couple miles from Foxx Inc. There were a couple of furnished units and I could move in at once. I called my Dad and told him I’d stop by in a couple of days, but that I was moving to an apartment across town. My parents were out of town on vacation, and I didn’t want to surprise them when they came home and found me gone.
I drove my small amount of belongings across town, signed the paperwork, provided my deposits, received my keys and moved in.
My first uniform, that of an HVAC tech from a local company, arrived Sunday in the late afternoon. It fit perfectly and sported the name “Joe” on the tag.
Early Monday morning I went for a run and had some breakfast before heading to Foxx Inc. There was no way I was going to be late, let alone on my first day, and I arrived a good thirty minutes early. Unlike late Friday afternoon, the parking complex was quite full. Upon entering I noticed the assigned spots, only there was a new sign. It read “T Jeffries, PBS”. I parked there, and rather than sit in the car until 0 900, and I went on into the building.
Again, unlike Friday afternoon, the reception desk was manned. Well, that’s not actually correct. A young woman, who could not have been more than nineteen, sat attentively behind the desk. She was looking right at me when I came through the doors. She stood at once and came around the desk, hand extended. “Hello,” she paused and looked at my name badge with some confusion, “Are you the new PBS, Joe?”
I shook her hand and nodded, my blue-gray uniform appearing to be on point. I said, “In the flesh.” To my surprise, she blushed, but did not say anything else. I continued, “I’m afraid I don’t know the first thing I’m supposed to do. Do you have any ideas? Or maybe, Ms. Olson?”
She shook her head and smiled, “Forgive me. I’m Allie. And yes, I do have the plan for your first day. If you will follow me?” She then turned and took me down the same path I had taken on Friday. Entering what I figured was now my office, she said, “Please take a seat and I’ll let security know you are here.”
I nodded, then did as she asked. Sitting down I opened up the small fridge behind the desk and found several bottles of water, Coke Zero, Diet Mountain Dew and pineapple juice. I was once again impressed at their knowledge of things that would not be documented anywhere, namely my choice of low calorie drinks. Then I smiled when I thought back to Ms. Olson’s comment about pineapple juice. I took one and opened it. No sooner had I done that when the door opened and a woman, guessing in her late twenties, entered the room. She was average height, somewhere less than five and a half feet, slim build, with dark brown hair and eyes. She was wearing a black shirt and slacks and the badge around her neck identified her as Susan Moss, site security. Her face was angular and sharp, maybe indicating some Native American heritage. She was quite good looking. The look in her eyes was, well, hungry. I stood and extended a hand. She read my name tag and said, “Joe? I didn’t think that was your name.” She shook my hand with a firm grip, then shrugged. “I’ll need a photo ID before generating your badge.”
I nodded and pulled out my wallet, handing her my very new Florida driver’s license. She then sat her backpack on the table and withdrew a device which she plugged into one of the computer’s USB ports. Then she surprised me, though she shouldn’t have. “If you don’t mind taking a seat?” she said.
I nodded and sat down, still not having said a word since the receptionist. And then she surprised me by sitting down on my lap as she logged into the system and started work. Thinking it was a good idea, I put my hands on her hips. I was sure it was only going to be seconds before she felt me start to harden against her ass.
As she scanned my ID and continued to work through pages she wiggled her ass against my growing erection and said, “One of the best things about security is that I’m always the first stop for the new guy.”
“First stop?” I said.
“He speaks!” she said. “Yes. There’s some forty of us here, and that could mean two to three weeks before everyone gets to, well, try you out.” She wiggled again, and now I was at full mast. “But not security, got to get you badged straightaway.”
Her fingers typed at a furious pace and then there was a pause. She handed me her badges over her shoulder. “I assume you read the book?”
“I was a nuclear trained operator, so when I’m told to read a book you can bet I did.”
She laughed. “Then I’ll just say, your choice, though I do need to keep an eye on this process for the next 10 to 15 minutes.” She looked over her shoulder, then stood and bent over the desk.
Looking at the badge I read a number of tri-graphs. Fortunately, the meaning of a few of them came to quickly: BST (breast squeezing and kneading), CIP (come in cunt), and OSX (my providing oral sex). However, given her current position, I decided straight up sex was what she was most likely interested in. Standing up, I reached around and started to unbutton her shirt as I ground my hips into her ass. I was sure she could feel my hardness as I did so. A few moments later her shirt was open and I unhooked her bra, freeing her nicely sized breasts for my grasp. I spent some time fondling her before nuzzling her neck and sucking on an earlobe. She purred, though she kept her arms on the table, striking a key every now and then as the status bar very slowly worked its way up from 0%.
Reluctantly leaving her very taut nipples, I unbuckled her belt, then unfastened and unzipped her slacks before pushing them and her underwear down to her knees. One of my hands returned to her lovely breasts as the other reached down between her legs. Her hair felt groomed but not shaved, and her cunt was wet. I groaned in her ear, “Ready for me already?”
“I’ve been ready since I got here at eight this morning.”
As she finished that sentence my fingers spread her apart and I pushed myself into her fully in a slow, pleasurable stroke. Leaving her breast again I turned her face toward me. “Sorry, I didn’t remember if you were wearing lipstick.”
She smiled, then turned back to the computer. “I’m not, Joe, because I really enjoy it when a man starts to lose control inside me. Gets me off every time.”
By this point I had started to fuck her quite soundly. From her words I figured she wasn’t so much into a slow tryst as much as a galloping fuck. I did my best to oblige her.
The whole while I was pounding her warm, wet and pliant cunt, she continued to monitor the status of the computer, even typing every now and then even as I repeatedly sheathed myself inside her. Though not talking to me, she was moaning and her breathing was quickening. My hands full of her breasts, I held myself within her completely and paused my hips. She brushed her hair out of her face and looked at me over her shoulder. “I’m ready to finish whenever you are ready to cum in my cunt, Joe,” said hoarsely. Still looking at me I reached up and held her chin so I could kiss her even as I pulled back and gave her another deep stroke. She moaned heavily into my mouth, and I did it again. Breaking the kiss she said in a husky voice, “Fuck me, please.”
Not having any intention of making her wait, I placed both hands on her hips and adjusted my position for the final stretch. As I did, and kept fucking her, she said, “The badge is printing.” Holding her in place I quickly accelerated my pace and knew that I would come soon. My pace picked up and I was sure she could tell.
“Damn you feel good! I’m going to come soon,” I grunted as I fucked her, quickly losing control of my movements. She could tell.
“Fuck me Joe!” she barked, “let go and come inside me!”
As my hips got a bit more frantic she moaned loudly, “Um, I’m coming!”
As her breath caught and she clenched around me, I felt myself peak as well, “Coming!” I grunted, and then bucked into her uncontrollably as I started to fill her cunt. The wonderful feeling went on for a good while, and the whole time she rewarded my efforts with a wonderful moan and “yes” sounds. I sat down, holding her to me such that I was still deep inside as I started to soften.
She typed in a few more things to the machine, then pulled her card and turned her head to me, kissing me firmly and thoroughly. “I’ll be back with your badge in a few minutes or so,” she said, then gave me another satisfied lover’s kiss before she stood and I slipped out of her. I watched as she dressed and strode out of the room before I duck-walked to the door that led to my own restroom and shower.
After refreshing myself I sat down and waited for Susan to return. To my surprise, Ms. Olson came through the door. It was not lost on me that once again she was wearing dark blue lipstick. She licked those lips and gave me an appraising look. “Very nice, Joe. Where did you get the uniform?”
I told her the story of the uniform shop and she smiled. “Well done, but you’ll need to expense that to the firm of course. Have Cindy show you how when she sets up your account later.”
As I nodded, Susan came through the door, twirling a badge around a finger. She stopped when she saw Ms. Olson. “Just stopping by to deliver his badge,” the security lady said.
Ms. Olson raised an eyebrow, then smirked. “And security’s appraisal of our new building services provider?”
Susan handed me my badge and turned to the somewhat officious acting HR rep, “Happy to report fulfilled and filled,” she winked at me, “and in that order.” Ms. Olson nodded, and Susan flashed me a smile on her way out the door.
Ms. Olson sat on my desk and smiled at me. “Off to a good start. Very nice,” she said. Then she unbuttoned her jacket, parted it, and lifted her once again sheer blouse to bare her breasts to me. “I wish I could enjoy you now, but the doctor has you next.” I took her breasts in my hands firmly squeezing them and quickly latching on to a nipple and lightly biting down. She moaned in approval and after a few moments I switched to the other while continuing to pinch the first. She stroked the back of my head, holding me to her breast as I repeated the move again. Then she pushed me back and kissed me hard, her firm nipples pressing into me. She reached down and felt my stiffening cock through my trousers. “Mr. Jeffries, although I have you started at three, would you be opposed to my visiting you when you are finished with it?”
I pulled her to me and gave her another kiss, my hands still pinching her nipples and squeezing her wonderful tits. “It does seem appropriate to check in with my hiring manager at the end of my first day,” I said.
She nudged me away and then straightened her clothes, also checking her makeup in the mirror and wiping a bit of lipstick off my lips. “Very good Mr. Jeffries. I’ll check back at the end of the day.” She turned to go, then said over her shoulder, “By the way, Ms. Jenkins is quite particular.”
“Ms. Jenkins?” I asked.
“Our on-site physician,” she winked at me, “She is here several days a month, and when she is she is considered a member of the Firm.”
I smiled, “Of course she is.”
“We offer comprehensive medical insurance, and quality medical care starts with full knowledge of a patient’s history.” She put her hand on the door handle, “And a complete physical, of course.”
“Of course,” I said quietly.
As she put her hand on the door handle she looked back at me, “By the way, I suppose Shaggy and Velma were before your time?”
“Excuse me?” I said.
“Spend a little time on google so you’ll know what I’m talking about,” she said, then winked and left the room.
“Sure,” I said to no one in particular.
In the next twenty minutes I downed a bottle of water and another bottle of pineapple juice. There were some binders on the shelves and I removed one named 'Overview’ and sat down to browse through it. The binder contained a table of contents and what looked like dozens of plastic sleeved schematics and pages of text. I leafed through descriptions of electrical and plumbing systems, reports on past contractor performance, information on current custodial staff, specifications of the food preparation equipment and all of the building safety systems. The Byzantine floor layouts were also included, complete with labeled diagrams of the various security systems and door access points. Power supplies for these were indicated, along with failsafe conditions and emergency criteria. Searching for something that could be a physicians office or a nurse’s station, there was an office located on this very floor labeled “Medical.” Examining the map I was able to figure out how I could get there from my current location; provided of course my key card worked.
It was at this time that I noticed there were a number of tri graphs on the reverse of my badge. Some of them were familiar, others I would need to consult the book to decipher.
At 10 30 my office door opened and a woman leaned in and looked at me. “Mr. Jeffries?”
I nodded and stood. She strode over to me and extended a hand and said, “Angela Jenkins, nurse practitioner.”
I shook her hand, “Tom Jeffries.”
She looked at my quizzically, “I know. Please follow me.”
I was a bit taken aback by her actions, but said nothing. I followed her out the door, past the receptionist and through another door. This led to a very small room with two chairs and a small table. On the table was a clipboard with what looked to be several pieces of paper. She gestured to one of the chairs and said, “Please take a seat.” She waited for me to do so, and then she added, “I want to be very clear and honest with you, Mr. Jeffries. This exam will include some rather blatantly sexual portions. While I don’t believe that is a surprise, I am willing to let you know ahead of time in each case.”
To my surprise, I found that aspect particularly exciting. I replied using a tone I hoped was similar to her somewhat formal one, “I would appreciate it if you did so.”
She smiled broadly, “Very good then. I’ll be sure to. Now, please review the materials as they describe the procedures we will cover today, and then complete the medical history questionnaire as best you can. Please knock on the door when you are ready.”
This odd introduction ended, she walked out of the room. It was only then that I reflected on what she looked like. Dark brown hair, a curvy figure, just a bit shorter than myself, with a brilliant smile, aquiline features, and perhaps the most intense eyes I had ever encountered. Her hair was in a tight bun, her light pink dress one that buttoned down the front.
I picked up the clipboard, shaking my head at the rather insane working conditions I found myself in. A path to something even more odd wasn’t possible, or so I thought until I started to read the medical exam description. It was only a bulleted list. The first several things were obvious and expected: vital signs, blood samples, urine samples, review of medical history, immunization status, and more things I expected. And then came the rest of the list: 100% visual survey of skin for unusual moles, lesions, etc., testicular cancer examination, prostate exam, sexual function test and sperm sample. Yes, I was a bit surprised, but mostly by this time the surprise was limited to 'how does she plan to do this?’
The medical history was typical and required little more than a lot of short answers and box checking. I knocked on the door fifteen minutes later.

This episode once again takes a look at the church, and how it has specifically been a facilitator of racism and propaganda as a false prophet for the beast of empire. We look at how the issue of abortion was coopted for political power and influence.

Trigger warnings: Homophobia
Anita Bryant was a singer in the early ‘60s, but she’s probably best known for her Florida orange juice commercials in the early 70s. She could’ve just got her big juice money and lived a quiet life. Instead, she used her fame to strip basic human rights away from gay people.
And while trying to criminalize being gay was not new in the 70s, she’s the one who took it mainstream. The impact of her hateful campaign can be seen in the current “Don’t Say Gay” bill in Florida and the laws around the country targeting drag shows.

The Interview - Ayoung man leaves the Navy and finds a new job.By PtmcPilot – listen to thePodcast at SteamyStories.
Thomas Edison reportedly said that the harder he worked theluckier he was. In my case I had worked pretty stinking hard as an enlistedmember of the nuclear submarine Navy for the previous six years, so if you sidewith Edison I must have accumulated a decent amount of luck in my karmaaccount. No matter how events came together, I was very lucky to be in just theright place at the right time. You probably won’t believe it, and truth betold, on some days I don’t believe it either. But let’s not get ahead ofourselves. Let me start at the beginning.
Or maybe not quite the beginning. As I mentioned, I’d beenin the Navy for six years starting right after high school. After graduation alot of my friends had gone off to college, but I wasn’t interested in joiningthem. I wanted to do something at once, not four years or so later. I joinedthe Navy, was picked up for nuclear power and asked for submarines (long storyfor another time). Working on subs was tough, yet rewarding at the same time.And it paid fairly nicely for a 19 to 24 year old. Many of the youngerenlisted, read that as non-lifers, were interested in using their G I billbenefits to go to college when their enlistment was complete. And when I leftthe Navy a mere six weeks ago, that had been my plan as well. I’d saved a fairamount of money, and combined with the G I bill I was able to comfortablyattend most any college.
Now, relaxing on a couch in my parent’s living room, when Iwasn’t surrounded by people looking forward to college, I found the idea was nolonger appealing. It always seemed to me that people felt college was a naturalprogression, and to do otherwise was somehow not living up to one’s potential.Problem was, after my years in the Navy I knew that wasn’t the case. Sure,college might open some doors, but I had every bit as much, if not more respectfor the senior enlisted in the Navy as I did the officers. Very different jobsrequiring different skill sets. One ingredient of success on the ship wasmutual respect for those different skill sets. Relaxing off duty with Sailorsfrom other ships told me such mutual respect was not always a given. I’d beenfortunate.
By the time I left the Navy I knew I was capable, welltrained, reliable, and eager to work hard. The Navy had spent a lot of moneytraining me how to operate and maintain equipment as well to train and leadpeople. Not only was I good at all those things, I enjoyed them immensely. It’sa very rewarding feeling when you use your own skills to take something fromnot working, to working. A friend of mine, a fairly senior Navy electrician,enjoyed replacing burnt out light bulbs even though such things were typicallyreserved for more junior people. “It’s instant job satisfaction,”he’d said.
I knew my parents were happy to have me around, and at thesame time I knew they didn’t want me to become a permanent fixture. It was onlynine in the morning, and I resolved right then that today was the day to seriouslystart the job search. After grabbing a shower and a cup of coffee, I sat downwith my laptop and began. There were lots of openings that appealed to me, orrather a lot of jobs I knew I could do. HVAC technicians and mechanics of allkinds appeared to be in particular demand, and the pay didn’t look too bad.Besides, I was in a pretty enviable position; I could easily quit after a shorttime if it didn’t work out.
After a brief moment of reflection I decided myqualifications meant I should avail myself of a headhunter, or at least somehigh end placement site. I did so, and was startled to get a text message twohours later. It was a link, so I forwarded it to my email and called it up.Oddly, it wasn’t from one of the services I had contacted. “Provider ofBuilding Services. Responsible for all building systems maintenance andservices for staff on site. Monday through Friday, from 9 to 5, $95,000 peryear. If interested please send your interview availability toFoxxIncJobs@FoxxInc.com” From the tone it seemed they had my resume andknew who they were talking to. Intrigued, I sent a note to the address statingI was available for an interview at their convenience.
It was perhaps another hour later when a reply came in fromthe same address: “Please confirm your availability for an interviewstarting at sixteen hundred, at 8472 Saddlebrook Road.” I checked theaddress, and although I did not want to appear desperate, I replied at oncethat I could make that time. It seemed a bit odd to be having a job interviewthat late on a Friday, and it made me wonder what kind of work-life balancethey might have as part of their culture. And then I laughed at myself–as ifwork-life balance was something I was acquainted with from subs…
Still, this observation was added to my mental list ofhypothetical questions to be posed to my would-be employer.
The use of 24 hour time got my attention as well, as in myadmittedly limited experience most people in the US did not use it. Checkingthe time, I had about two hours before I needed to leave. Plenty of time toshave, iron a shirt and get my ass across town. Minor preparations complete, Ihad a little time to do some research on Foxx Inc., and there wasn’t muchthere. Nothing on the usual job review sites, and the corporate splash pagesimply stated it was a legal firm serving government and private clients, ableto support work at all classification levels. Well, I’d learn more when I gotthere.
Arriving at the designated place at fifteen fortyfive, theparking lot in front of the building was empty. The visitor parking spots werevery close to the door, which was nice given how hot it was that afternoon. Thebuilding itself was an attractive, if plain, multi-story building made of thetypical glass, steel and concrete. It was also unmarked aside from the largestylistic numbers identifying the building as ‘8472’. Grabbing my jacket I gotout of the car and went to the large glass doors.
The lobby was large, with comfortable looking chairs ofwhite leather arranged around small metal and glass tables. A long receptiondesk opposite the entry doors appeared to be of solid wood and was decoratedwith a number of glass sculptures. Glancing around I noted the presence ofseveral CCTV cameras, their red status lights blinking every few seconds to letyou know they were awake, or at least powered. Aside from the front doors therewere no other obvious exits from the room. Taking a seat I looked over thewalls a bit more closely and noticed there were a couple of places that mightbe seams that could hide hinges on the reverse.
It wasn’t more than two or three minutes when I heard adistinct 'click’ from the direction of the front doors. Curious, I checked themand found they were now locked. It was then I heard another click behind me,and turning I watched as one of the well-hidden doors opened and a woman strodethrough. Black haired, tall and quite attractive, she was wearing a blackskirt, black heels, a white blouse and a dark blue jacket. She smiled as sheclosed the distance to me, extending a hand. “Mr. Jeffries, Ipresume?”
Returning the smile and the handshake, I said, “Thomas,please.”
She let go of my hand and regarded me with a puzzled look,“Mr. Jeffries, we’ve only just been introduced.”
“Not exactly,” I said, “I still don’t knowyour name.”
The look she gave me was somewhere between confusion andirritation. But in an instant her face snapped right back to pleasant as ifshe’d rolled back time. She extended her hand again, “Mr. Jeffries, Ipresume?”
Again returning the handshake I replied, “Yes, and youare?”
She let go of my hand, “Ms. Olson. I’m pleased youcould come in on such short notice. If you would follow me?”
With this she turned and strode toward the door I now knewto be there. A sign next to the door, which appeared to be nothing more than alabel plate, turned out to be a card reader, which she used to open the door.On the other side of the door a small well lit room had a standard set of boxesused to hold mobile phones. I was already taking my phone and keys out of mypocket when she gestured toward the boxes and asked me to secure anyelectronics. Completing this task she led me to something that looked like anairport TSA portal. She indicated I should walk through it, and she watched asI did. It didn’t beep or anything and she led me to another door, which sheagain opened with a key card, though this time she added a PIN, her fingermovements concealed by a cover plate.
Through this second door we entered a large open area. Twoelevators were visible to the right, again with things I now knew to be cardreaders. To the left was a featureless wall with one door. She led me to thisdoor and entered with her card. This room was a rather large office, tastefullydecorated with wooden furniture, some IT equipment, plants, a few leatherchairs and a small refrigerator. There was also another door on a wall adjacentto the one we had entered through. She indicated a chair in front of the largedesk. “Would you like a bottle of water Mr. Jeffries?” Her continuedformality was curious, and I simply said yes. She withdrew two bottles of waterfrom the fridge and handed me one before sitting down herself.
“Mr. Jeffries, again, thank you for coming in thisafternoon,” she said as she unscrewed the lid on her bottle.
“I was available, so there wasn’t much of a reason towait,” I said before taking a pull on my own bottle.
“Well, shall we get down to business then?” shesaid. I nodded and she pulled a folder from inside the desk. “Six years inthe Navy, straight out of high school. Trained mechanic, standard awards forgood conduct, but also three Navy Achievement Medals. Current securityclearance, and living with your parents having just been discharged severalweeks ago.” The whole time she had been talking she had been lookingdirectly at me. Which was good in a way because it kept me from trying to ogleher, and I figured that was not a great way to start with an H R rep, if that’swho she was. The funny thing about her little speech was that the medals were notlisted in anything I thought she might have been able to access whileresearching me. Wait, they researched me?
I realized she had asked me a question. “I’m sorry Ms.Olson, could you repeat that?”
Her face was impassive. “Did you enjoy your time in theNavy?”
“I’m not sure I’d say enjoy. It was often hard work,but also rewarding. I got to see some of the world and learn some usefulthings. Or at least, I hope you will find my skills useful.”
She nodded, “Your professional certifications are quitein line with what we need in terms of taking care of the property, yes. Tellme, did you enjoy Singapore or Thailand more?”
At this point it was clear she was trying to keep me offbalance by showing what she knew about me. “Um, Ms. Olson, what kind of workdoes Foxx Inc do?”
She unbuttoned the front of her jacket and sat back in thechair, taking another drink of water. As her jacket parted I could not help butnotice her top was almost shear, and she was not wearing a bra. She caught myglimpse, but smiled as she answered, “We are primarily a legal firm. Weconsult on a variety of subjects to varied clientele. Our work regularlyconnects to the government, to include the DoD and several other agencies withwhom you might not be as familiar.”
“And so it would be normal to run a background check onany applicants.”
She smiled and looked down at the desk, selecting a piece ofpaper from the file. “Yes, but I must tell you it is less mysterious thanyou might think. To begin with your electronic fingerprints are everywhere, andthe only thing that provides privacy is people with access not taking aninterest. In applying, we became interested.” I nodded, only sort offollowing her. She gave me a soft look, then said, “Tell me, before youdecided to end your time with the Navy, you applied for a special projectsposition, did you not?”
I nodded, though once again how she knew this was beyond me.“That application triggered a number of automatic events that werecompleted even before they would have started an SSBI.” Seeing myconfusion she added, “A background investigation.”
“I see.”
“You have applied for a job at a firm that does highlysensitive work for the government, amongst others. Further, I am meeting youalone in this building in the late afternoon. The least you should expect isthat we have done our homework.”
Sure, it all made sense. And nonetheless, I was taken abackby the results of said homework, especially in such a short time frame.
She continued, “That homework indicates you have allthe mechanical and supervisory skills necessary to keep our facility hummingalong, and your clearance is certainly a plus in that you will likely be ableto access most parts of the building unescorted,” she said.“And,” she added with a smirk, “there was time to acquire somemore, shall we say, personal information.”
I swallowed, not really knowing what she meant by that lastbit. Trying to regain my composure, I nodded and tried to move closer to showmy interest. “Is this the only building I’ll be maintaining?”
She nodded in reply, “Yes, that is correct. Electrical,mechanical, structural, all your responsibility. As you saw, the positioninvolves a typical work schedule, though a number of the employees keep lessstandard hours, especially the partners.”
“Could I ask a question?” She nodded, and Icontinued, “Why did the previous person leave the job?”
“Hum,” she murmured, then grinned, “Let’s sayhe grew tired.”
“Of the job?”
“I thought you were nuclear trained Mr. Jeffries? Thatis an assumption, not an observation or conclusion based on indications.”That caused me to sit back. If they had only been aware of me for a few hours,that was pretty specific criticism for someone of my particular background. Anda damned insightful criticism at that. But if she was bothered, it didn’t show.Instead, she grinned as she held my gaze. “I believe my statement to beaccurate regarding the previous PBS.” She continued, “I assume theproposed compensation is adequate?” I nodded again. “Very well. Inaddition you will earn twenty-eight days off per year, usable at your leisurefrom day one. We have a full gym on-site as well as a reasonably goodcafeteria. I expect you will find the severance package quite generous aswell.”
“So, are you offering me the job?” I asked, anedge of excitement probably pretty evident.
Her grin changed to a smile, though this time her look wasalmost predatory. “Well, there are other things to be discussed andevaluated before I can do that.” Opening another drawer she withdrew asingle piece of paper and handed it to me. “This is a standardnon-disclosure agreement. In quite too many words, because lawyers, iteffectively says that with the exception of any illegality you observe you maynot discuss anything that happens in this firm with anyone not a member of thefirm. As was your security agreement with the Navy, this is binding until deathor until the Firm informs you otherwise.”
It was not a long document, and it seemed to say just whatshe said. I picked up a pen from the desk and signed it straightaway. Takingthe page back from me she examined my signature, nodded, then added her ownunder mine. “Although I believe Foxx Inc is an upstanding firm, you wouldbe wise to carefully analyze any small print.” Standing up, she said, “I’llgo make a copy of this for your records.” She picked up another smallpacket of papers and handed it to me as she walked past me to the other door.“I’ll be back in a little while to answer any questions.”
The cover page was labeled “Foxx Inc Sensitive:Disclosure, Authorized Only under NDA”. Typical enough, or so I thought.Turning the page I found myself faced with a rather extensive questionnaire. AsI started to work on it, I soon realized it was also anything but typical.Relationship status, exercise habits, pieces of medical history, diet, alcoholconsumption, sexual orientation, sexual experience to include number ofpartners, and then very specific questions about what sexual acts I enjoyed,would do, and absolutely would not do. I answered a few and then stopped;finding I was not comfortable providing this level of detail about privateaspects of my life.
A little while later the door opened and I saw Ms. Olsonre-enter the room. Seeing I was not writing, she said “That was fast, areyou all done?” Standing in front of me she leaned over to look at thepapers in my lap. Still looking forward I was treated to the most glorious downblouse view I may have ever been given. Her white top hung away from her chest,now fully revealed as a pair of large, tanned breasts unconstrained by a bra. Igulped and when I looked up she was smiling at me, apparently not put off atall by my observation of her chest. However, in my defense she had all butdeliberately dangled them in my face. Add to that she was now wearing quiteshocking black lipstick. Now I was really off balance. She retook her seat.“Do you have questions or concerns I can help resolve, Mr. Jeffries?”
“It’s just that, well, I don’t see why you need to knowsome of these things about your building manager,” I said.
She leaned back. “Ah, I see. You did note the positionis 'provider of building services’, did you not?” I nodded. Her smileturned into leer. Yep, I’m quite sure of the memory. She leered at me.“You’ll forgive me. I do so enjoy this part of the interview, and I’veonly done it a few other times, so humor me.”
I took an involuntary look at her chest again. Herexpressions remained the same as she said, “Your job, should you choose toaccept it, includes sexually servicing the women who work here.”
I was almost, almost certain I’d used my inside voice when Ishouted, “Holy shit!” But then Ms. Olson almost jumped back at myoutburst. I know she jumped because she bounced really nicely. Taking a deepbreath, I said, “Okay.”
Raising an eyebrow, she said, “'Okay’, really?”Then a long pause, and she continued with the smirk back on her face.“Well then, ask me any questions you have and we’ll see if we cannot clearthis up.” I was rewarded, I think, as her smirk switched to predatory again.I had the feeling she was toying with me. Not unlike a cat and a mouse though Ididn’t really think she’d literally eat me. At least not in a bad way. Ipinched myself for focus.
“Right, how about this one about exercise habits?”I asked.
“Physical condition is linked to physical performance,wouldn’t you say?” she said. Looking back I’m not sure there was a reasonfor me to continue, but sometimes you haven’t quite processed what people havetold you.
I said “Um, why the question about sexual orientation?And my diet?”
She locked eyes with me and I could not look away. “Mr.Jeffries, I believe my stating that you are expected to "sexually servicethe staff like a stud within a herd of brood mares” more than adequatelyprovided information sufficient to answer the first.“ Now, I know I askedfor it, but when she spoke it really rocked me. Her face was all professional,stern, condescending and superior when she resumed her rebuke of my density."It would not do for me to hire someone not hungry enough for it. It is upto me, and me alone to select the appropriate,” she winked again,“stud for my herd.”
I swallowed heavily and nodded. She stood and removed herjacket, hung it on a coat rack and took her seat again. Her large breasts were nowevery bit on display, the sheer fabric of the material all but baring them tomy gaze. I forced myself to look in the eye again, finally realizing what thisinterview was leading up to. “Now that you have utilized logic andavailable information to answer your first silly question 'about sexualorientation,” she’d kind of spat the words at me, “I will answer yoursecond plainly.” Now the look she gave me was something I couldn’t explainor describe. I don’t know how to explain what 'holy fucking hornier than ever’looks like, but that was her.
Then she made an obvious display of running her tongue alongher lips and said, “You must be aware that your diet directly affects thetaste of your semen. Are you not?”
At this point any thoughts about work life balance werethrown to the curb like an ex’s CD collection. I knew my mouth was hangingopen. Her large breasts swayed and jiggled as she spoke. I now noticed that herareola were very dark and her nipples quite hard, and easily seen through anot-quite-there top. Forcing myself to look back up at her face I cleared mythroat and said, “I think I see. Shall I get back to answering thesethen?”
She nodded and smiled back at me, “I’m happy to hearthat. And yes, please do. I would like to conclude your interview today.”
For a very brief second I considered how I might feel if Iwere a woman being asked to, ah, service the male members of the firm as aprerequisite for employment. Don’t be too hard on me for acknowledging that I,and my hard-on, didn’t mind one bit.
It only took me a few minutes to write out short answers tothe questions, after which I passed the questionnaire back to her. She readover my answers, nodding every now and then. “So, Thomas, you can call meAshley, if you like.”
I don’t know what, but that didn’t sound like what I shouldcall her. “Thank you, Ms. Olson,” I let out a long breath and noticea flare to her nostrils. It felt like I made the right choice, and I said,“What’s next?”
“For one, you should know this aspect of the positionis obviously off the books, except for the salary, which is an additional fiftypercent over your normal pay.” I nodded and could not suppress a trulyshit-eating grin. She raised an eyebrow that again indicated mild irritation,“Is that not acceptable, Mr. Jeffries?” She delivered my name in twowords with a notable pause, more like 'Mister. Jeffries.“ The tone was allheat. Clearly the Mr. & Miss Smith was strong with her. I liked it. A lot.
I shook my head and tried to refocus, if only for a bit."No, it’s not that at all. It’s just, well, you’re telling me I’m likelyto be having sex with any number of women here, and you are going to pay me forit?”
Maybe she was acting, but her expression was one of sincereoffense. Again with the stutter pronouncement, “I am certain I justcharacterized the additional pay as stud fees.” As I gaped at herstatement, she unbuttoned the top half of her blouse. Yep, no doubt about thesolid nips, flushed face and suddenly deeper breathing. Actually I can’t tell youhow I noticed or remembered that given how aware I was of her body and myhard-on.
Her restatement of 'stud duty’ made me smile. Then I said,“Again Ms. Olson, you mistake my meaning. My comments were meant as 'Ican’t believe you want to pay me more for this.’”
Her face relaxed at once and she stood and walked to standbetween the desk and myself. For the first time I noticed the scent of anaroused woman. “Mister. Jeffries, contrary to what you may think, findingsomeone for this job is not easy. It is simply not possible to advertise for aproper, well, cocksman.”
Well, that did it. There was no unhearing something likethat. Stud was one thing, but 'cocksman?’ Somehow it meant nothing to me evenas I could completely understand it. I once more tried shaking my head to clearmy thoughts for a moment. I remembered something she said that seemed suddenlyrelevant. I said, “What did you mean by more personal information?”
She finished unbuttoning her blouse, and then shrugged itoff, her body now bare from her waist up. Her breasts were nothing short ofmagnificent. I was staring and completely unable to stop myself from reachingout and taking them in my hands. She purred, then put her hands over mine andsaid, “Don’t think poorly of me, Mr. Jeffries, but I contacted Tilly.”
Yet again, I found myself surprised. I’ll tell you the storylater, maybe, but Tilly was another Sailor, my off-the-books roommate and moregirlfriend than fuck buddy for the past two years. We’d parted amicably when Ileft the Navy. Probably important to this story, she was my fourth and to datelast sexual partner, and she’d been equal parts ravenous and patient with me.While I’d always figured I’d done right by her, the look on Ashley’s face spokevolumes to the review I seem to have been given. I hadn’t formed any kind ofresponse and was still kneading her gloriously full tits when she asked in alow voice, “Thomas, is it safe for me to have unprotected intercourse withyou today?”
“Well, yes and no? If you mean am I disease free, thenyes. If you mean could I get you pregnant, the answer is yes, so then no, it’snot safe. And you’re trusting someone you just met?”
“Thomas, I have read a rather thorough synopsis of yourlife and the government feels you are trustworthy. Should I not?” Inodded, and she continued, “And you just gave me a most sincere andthorough answer to a simple question.” Then she leaned down and gave me athoroughly debauching kiss on the lips that left us both panting.
She held my face in her hands, “I should mention thatin this arrangement the person in the Firm initiating the encounter is requiredto provide protection.” Then I watched with continued surprise as she saton the desk, put her feet on the arms of my chair and lifted her skirt to showme a very bald and equally wet cunt. I noted she was an inny, at least rightthen. As she relaxed back on her elbows she said, “To continue yourinterview;” and her voice cut off. Most likely because by the time she hadthose words out of her mouth my lips were locked on hers. Her cunt lips ofcourse.
“Um,” she sighed, “I do love a man who needslittle direction. I was going to say, well, fuck it!” and she she held myhead firmly in place.
She was hot, wet, vocal, and very responsive. Darting mytongue in and out of her cunt and around her lips, I was as eager to please asI had ever been. In moments, feeling she was ready for it, I thrust two fingersinto her and pressed at her g-spot. With my free hand I reached up and graspedone of breasts. “Oh, fuck yes,” she moaned, “lick me!” Hermoans and words guided me to the things she liked, nibbles on her lips, suckingon her clit, all of which I did with abandon. It had been almost three monthssince the last time I had sex, and I wasn’t about to let this opportunity getaway. I attacked her cunt with passion, hungry for her moans and words.
A long string of “Um, yes, Um, fuck! Um, oh mygod!” poured out of her and I kept up my efforts. Then, within only acouple of minutes she sat up, grabbed two handfuls of my hair and pressed myface hard into her cunt. “Fuck! I’m coming!” Hearing that, I tried tokeep my efforts steady with what had got her there, strongly rubbing her g-spotwith her clit firmly between my lips and teeth. Ten, fifteen seconds went by,and then she let loose of me and sagged back onto the table. “Very, verynice Mr. Jeffries.”

Her accomplishments go beyond this page, but I've included her bio from USC here:
Christina Bellantoni is a professor of professional practice, the director of USC Annenberg’s Media Center and the Annenberg Center on Communication Leadership and Policy faculty fellow.
She also is a contributing editor with the independent nonprofit newsroom The 19th News, which focuses on gender, politics and policy.
Bellantoni joined USC Annenberg in 2018 after serving as a member of the masthead at the Los Angeles Times.
Over her more than 20 years in journalism, Bellantoni has worked as a reporter and editor, behind the camera as a producer and in front as an analyst on national television. She has covered local, state and federal government, along with four presidential campaigns and the White House.
At the Los Angeles Times, Bellantoni was an assistant managing editor focused on politics. Under her leadership, the California politics team expanded and earned statewide recognition for innovative coverage of politics and for hard-hitting sexual harassment investigations that prompted two Assembly resignations and brought more transparency to California’s state capital.
She joined the newspaper after spending 12 years as a journalist in Washington, D.C. She served as editor-in-chief of the Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call until moving to Los Angeles in 2015.
Before taking over Roll Call, Bellantoni was the political editor and an on-air analyst at the PBS NewsHour. She oversaw presidential campaign, congressional, White House and Supreme Court coverage.
Bellantoni began her stint in Washington as a Metro reporter at the Washington Times and became a senior reporter for Talking Points Memo in 2009.
Bellantoni was a fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School’s Institute of Politics in 2011, and is a former vice president of the Washington Press Club Foundation.
She frequently appears on television and radio, including NPR, CNN, MSNBC, Fox News and HBO’s Real Time With Bill Maher. Find highlights from her reel here.

Instead of electing politicians to represent us…what if we just represented ourselves? Peer to peer. Neighbor to neighbor. Baratunde talks with Claudia Chwalisz about citizens’ assemblies—groups randomly-selected by lottery that are shifting political and legislative power into the hands of everyday people. Claudia is one of the world’s leading voices on citizens’ assemblies and founder and CEO of DemocracyNext, an organization working to build new institutions for the next democratic paradigm.
SHOW ACTIONS
Internally Reflect - Imagine life with citizen assemblies
Our reflection prompt is inspired by the DemocracyNext launch event, which you can view on YouTube. Imagine it’s 10 years in the future, and we’ve established new civic rituals. Election Day is out and Sortition Day – the day that people selected by lottery are assigned to various citizen assemblies – is in. What might it feel like to serve in one of these well-facilitated and compensated assemblies with your neighbors? Imagine what it would be like to read media coverage of the deliberations that focus on a community’s attempt at finding common ground, rather than who made the most outlandish statements. What headlines do you see? How do politics feel in this future?
Become Informed - Learn from global citizen assembly experiments
To learn more about citizen assemblies, read the New Yorker essay by Yale political science professor Hélène Landemore. For a deeper dive, read her book, Open Democracy. To see a citizen’s assembly in action, check out the Irish Citizens' Assembly or the permanent citizens' assembly in Paris. Also check out Claudia’s organization, DemocracyNext.
Publicly Participate - Get involved with DemocracyNext and direct democracy powered by everyday people
Subscribe to the DemocracyNext newsletter - they'll be launching a global community of enthusiasts wanting to learn more and help build this next democratic paradigm.
And if you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and start practicing democracy this way with others, look to the non-profit org Democracy Without Elections for resources to get started locally.

This past week, football fans witnessed Tua Tagovailoa take a hit, fall onto his back and hit his head hard on the ground. He got up and stumbled and staggered, barely able to maintain his own balance. He was evaluated and initially listed as being questionable to return with a head injury. But to the surprise of many, he was back out on the field for the second half having been cleared with an injury to his back but not his head. After the game, the NFL Players Association said they wanted an investigation into whether or not the protocols were followed.
Four days later, Tua is playing on Thursday night football. He gets sacked, his head slams to the ground and goes into a ‘fencing position’ where the arms go up in the air and are tense and rigid. His fingers were also in tense and contorted looking position, which honestly was something I had not seen in 20 years of being in sports medicine. Social media went in a frenzy about the injury and the days and weeks ahead will likely continue to put the spotlight on the Miami Dolphins.
But I am not doing this episode to criticize, as I was not intimately involved with what happened in Miami on the sidelines or with any assessments. We can all be armchair concussion specialists. I am certainly sensitive to the scrutiny, having been a sideline team physician with the St Louis Rams for 11 years. We had a head injury incident with Case Keenum that got a lot of attention and significant scrutiny of the protocol and how Case could’ve been left in the game. There were a lot of things that went wrong and a lot of things that occurred that illuminated how the system, even though intended to have measures to avoid things like that happening, were not foolproof.

— What is a Concussion? (From the Center of Disease Control) – A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury—or TBI—caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or by a hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. This sudden movement can cause the brain to bounce around or twist in the skull, creating chemical changes in the brain and sometimes stretching and damaging brain cells.

American Democracy Minute
Today’s LinksArticles: Brennan Center for Justice - Moore v. Harper, ExplainedThe Atlantic - Is Democracy Constitutional?Politico - Supreme Court to hear 2 cases with major implications for 2024PBS NewsHour - How the outcome of Moore v. Harper could impact federal elections League of Women Voters US - State Legislature Seeks Unchecked Power over Elections in Moore v. HarperArizona Mirror - Brnovich joins 12 other GOP AGs in ‘independent state legislature’ caseGroups Taking Action:League of Conservation Voters NC, Common Cause NC, Democracy Docket, Campaign Legal Center, You’re listening to the American Democracy Minute, keeping YOUR government by and for the people.We’ve been spending time this week on the origins & outline of Moore vs. Harper, the important Supreme Court case testing a fringe Constitutional doctrine called the “Independent State Legislature” theory. If embraced by the majority, it could alter American Democracy as we’ve known it for 235 years.At stake is whether state legislatures have ultimate authority over elections: Higher authority than federal statutes and courts, higher than state supreme courts, and higher than a Governor’s veto. The U.S. Supreme Court has already said in 2019 that only state courts have the authority to decide partisan redistricting and gerrymandering cases. That decision essentially greenlighted widespread gerrymandering in the 2020 redistricting process.The Brennan Center for Justice and other scholars suggest that with unchecked power, legislatures could change the slate of electors for a Presidential election, or overturn election results. Ballot initiatives could be nullified. State legislatures could ignore the U.S. or state constitution’s voting rights provisions and establish new, more draconian barriers to voting. Existing state laws like early voting or voting by mail could be repealed without the check of a gubernatorial veto. In short, the impact of Moore v. Harper could reshape American democracy, and it could be one of the most consequential and destructive Supreme Court decisions of our time.More on the case and groups taking action can be found at American Democracy Minute.org. For the American Democracy Minute, I’m Brian Beihl.

I want folks to make an informed decision. Before you can make a decision you need facts, research and resources.
There is a lot of hokum about hemp seed oil and CBD oil. Both are oils that come from the hemp plant. They are not the same. They service different populations and purposes. In this episode, a look at what is hemp seed oil and CBD oil. There was an interesting conversation about the original 2005 formulation of Four Loco. It was a fortified beer that had a lot of caffeine in it. It also came in fruit flavors. And wormwood, can't forget about the wormwood.
On Twitter there were people telling their stories about drinking half a can and then being tore up for the rest of the night. Other people mentioning that not only did they drink a can of Four Loco but had a vodka chaser. The word blackout was often used. This is when reading becomes fundamental. Not that it would have stopped any teen or college freshman from gulping it down but maybe reading that the drink had caffeine and a percentage of booze might have slowed or stopped a few of them sipping 24 ounces/709ml of trouble. Which is my I want to talk about Hemp Seed Oil. It will not make you sick like the original Four Loko. But there are "opportunistic" people who want to exact money from you based on ignorance. Resources Mentioned: From CBS News This Morning, a story about Cecil Jackson who has agoraphobia.

On this week’s episode, Ami Kassar interviews John Arensmeyer, Founder & CEO of Small Business Majority, on the toughest issues facing the small business community today, and how his organization is helping.
John has used his long experience as a small business owner to build Small Business Majority into a nationally recognized organization focused on empowering America's entrepreneurs to build a thriving and inclusive economy. Small Business Majority is the leading advocate for critical public policy issues facing America’s small businesses—particularly access to capital, healthcare, taxes, retirement/asset building and numerous workforce issues. In the past few years John has spearheaded the growth of Small Business Majority’s Venturize.org portal, providing critical practical resources to our nation’s 30 million small businesses and independent self-employed entrepreneurs.
Prior to launching Small Business Majority 16 years ago, John was the founder and CEO of ACI Interactive, an award-winning international interactive communications company. Information Week named ACI's signature product one of the nation's top 100 e-business innovations, and the company was cited by the San Francisco Business Times as one of the top 100 fastest growing private companies in the Bay Area. Earlier, John was the chief operating officer of a pioneering multimedia business, an attorney in New York, an aide to the mayor of Philadelphia and a staff member on Capitol Hill.
John is a frequent speaker on small business policy issues and a regular guest on TV and radio, including MSNBC's Your Business, PBS NewsHour, Fox News, Bloomberg TV, NPR's Marketplace and the CBS Evening News. In 2009 he was an active participant at the White House summit on healthcare reform. He testifies regularly before congressional committees, and has briefed White House officials and congressional leadership on small business policy issues. He serves on the Advisory Board for the Access to Markets initiative, and he recently served as Board Chair of California's Insure the Uninsured Project. He has led a study group at Harvard's Kennedy School of Politics, and has served on the Association for Enterprise Opportunity's Economic Impact Council and Micro Capital Task Force. John is conversational in Spanish.

For this episode I have the pleasure of talking with two of my favorite authors on soil and our utter dependence on it, Anne Biklé and David R. Montgomery
David R. Montgomery is a MacArthur Fellow and professor of geomorphology at the University of Washington. He is an internationally recognized geologist who studies the effects of geological processes on ecological systems and human societies. His work has been featured in documentary films, network and cable news, TV, and radio including NOVA, PBS NewsHour, Fox and Friends, and All Things Considered.
Anne Biklé is a science writer and public speaker focusing on the connections between people, plants, food, health, and the environment. She has been known to coax garden plants into rambunctious growth and nurse them back from the edge of death with her regenerative gardening practices. Her work has appeared in digital and print magazines, newspapers, and radio and her gardening practices have been featured in independent and documentary films.
Anne and David are married and live in Seattle, WA. Their work includes What Your Food Ate: How to Heal Our Land and Reclaim Our Health, and a trilogy of books about soil health, microbiomes, and farming—Dirt: The Erosion of Civilizations, The Hidden Half of Nature, and Growing a Revolution.
These books are not only about soil but about agriculture, our food system, human health and survival and the climate… and, perhaps shockingly, they provide ample evidence for a way forward that provides solutions to the problems we face in all of these areas… dare I say they provide hope? And, even more importantly, he says sarcastically, they provide ample evidence for how to farm grapes in a better way to make more delicious wine.

Paul Johnson
Robert Robb & Paul Johnson discuss Communism, Socialism and benefits of American Capitalism. The discussion covers how American Capitalism has done more to improve the quality of life and improve the human condition than any other system in the history of the world. If you hate capitalism, you might want to skip this one, but if you are open to the idea that free markets have actually made the world better, there is much to learn here.
The discussion begins with Robbs recent articles, regarding Kyrsten Sinema, a United States Senator from Arizona, one of the few pro business senators left in either party, and how her revisions to the draconian tax increases may have saved the country from a deep recession. The discussion is a full throated defense of prioritizing the individual above the collective and also covers economic theory, time both presenters spent in communist countries, and predictions of the future of capitalism.
The Wall Street Journal once called Robb the “dean of Arizona political journalists.” He has been published by the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, USA Today, RealClearPolitics.com, and other Gannett newspapers across the country. In 2000, Robb was a media fellow with the Hoover Institution. In 2009, he was awarded a fellowship for study in Japan by the Foreign Press Center Japan. Robb has been a guest on PBS’s The NewsHour, MSNBC, BBC Worldwide, CNN’s American Morning, C-Span, and several shows on Fox News. Robb served as a judge for the Pulitzer Prize in 2013 and 2014. In 2015, he placed second in the Bastiat Prize, an international competition for economic writing sponsored by the Reason Foundation.

Terence Smith's media career went from the Stamford Advocate the New York Times, then to CBS News, and finally the PBS Newshour.

Young people don’t read, don’t know anything beyond what they see on their screen, and don’t see the value of independent knowledge as long as they have Google and can look it up. The sky, we are told, is falling."

After decades of our government denying healthcare to veterans they exposed to poisonous toxins, the PACT Act - which will eventually provide this hard-fought-for care - is now law. In this episode, learn exactly who qualifies for these new benefits and when, discover the shocking but little-known events that led to their poisonings, and find out what exactly happened during those 6 days when Senate Republicans delayed the passage of the PACT Act.

Senator Toomey on State of the Union with Jake Tapper July 31, 2022 CNN
Clips 7:00 Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA): Here's what you need to keep in mind, Jake. First of all, this is the oldest trick in Washington. People take a sympathetic group of Americans — it could be children with an illness, it could be victims of crime, it could be veterans who have been exposed to toxic chemicals — craft a bill to address their problems, and then sneak in something completely unrelated that they know could never pass on its own and dare Republicans to do anything about it because they know they'll unleash their allies in the media and maybe a pseudo-celebrity to make up false accusations to try to get us to just swallow what shouldn't be there. That's what's happening here, Jake.
10:40 Jake Tapper: So one of the questions that I think people have about what you're claiming is a budgetary gimmick is, the VA budgets will always remain subject to congressional oversight, they can't just spend this money any way they want. And from how I read this legislation, it says that this money has to be spent on health care for veterans who suffered exposure from toxic burned pits. Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA): This is why they do this sort of thing, Jake, because it gets very deep in the weeds and very confusing for people very quickly. It's not really about veteran spending. It's about what category of government bookkeeping, they put the veterans spending in. My change, the honest people acknowledge it will have no effect on the amount of money or the circumstances under which the money for veterans is being spent. But what I want to do is treat it, for government accounting purposes, the way we've always treated it for government accounting purposes. Because if we change it to the way that the Democrats want, it creates room in future budgets for $400 billion of totally unrelated, extraneous spending on other matters.
Senator Toomey on Face the Nation with John Dickerson July 31, 2022 CBS News
Clips 4:10 John Dickerson: 123 Republicans in the House voted for this, 34 Senate Republicans voted for it. Same bill. This week, the bill didn't change but the Republican votes did. Why? Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA): Now, the Republican votes didn't change on the substance of the bill. Republicans have said we want an amendment to change a provision that has nothing to do with veterans health care. The Republicans support this. The Democrats added a provision that has nothing to do with veterans health care, and it's designed to change government accounting rules so that they can have a $400 billion spending spree.
6:25 Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA): Honest Democrats evaluating this will tell you: if my amendment passes, not a dime change in spending on veterans programs. What changes is how the government accounts for it. John Dickerson: I understand, but the accounting change, as you know, is a result — the reason they put it in that other bucket is that it doesn't subject it to the normal triage of budgeting. And the argument is that the values at stake here are more important than leaving it to the normal cut and thrust of budgeting.
Jon’s Response To Ted Cruz’s PACT Act Excuses July 29, 2022 The Problem with Jon Stewart on Youtube
Clips 00:20 Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX): What the dispute is about is the Democrats played a budgetary trick, which is they took $400 billion in discretionary spending and they shifted it to a mandatory one. Jon Stewart: What Ted Cruz is describing is inaccurate, not true, bulls t. This is no trick. Everything in the government is either mandatory or discretionary spending depending on which bucket they feel like putting it in. The whole place is basically a f * ing shell game. And he's pretending that this is some new thing that the Democrats pulled out, stuck into the bill, and snuck it past one Ted Cruz. Now I'm not a big-city Harvard educated lawyer, but I can read. It's always been mandatory spending so that the government can't just cut off their funding at any point. No trick, no gimmick, [it’s] been there the whole fking time.
1:50 Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX): What's the Republicans made clear is, if we leave that spending as discretionary — don't play the budgetary trick — the bill will pass with 80 or 90 votes. Jon Stewart: I don't know how many other ways to say this, but there was no budgetary trick and it was always mandatory. And when they voted in the Senate on June 16, they actually got 84 votes. And you know who voted for that? Ted fcking Cruz and every other one of those Republicans that switched their votes. There was no reason for them to switch the votes. The bill that passed the Senate 84 to 14 on June 16 has not had one word added to it by Democrats, or spending fairies, or anybody else. It's the same fcking bill.
‘I Call Bullshit!’ Jon on the PACT Act Being Blocked in the Senate July 28, 2022 The Problem with John Stewart on YouTube
Clips 3:20 Jon Stewart: June 16, they passed the PACT Act 84 to 14. You don't even see those scores in the Senate anymore. They passed it. Every one of these individuals that has been fighting for years, standing on the shoulders of Vietnam veterans who have been fighting for years, standing on the shoulders of Persian Gulf War veterans fighting for years, Desert Storm veterans, to just get the health care and benefits that they earn from their service. And I don't care if they were fighting for our freedom. I don't care if they were fighting for the flag. I don't care if they were fighting because they wanted to get out of a drug treatment center, or it was jail or the army. I don't give a shit. They lived up to their oath. And yesterday, they spit on it in abject cruelty. These people thought they could finally breathe. You think their struggles end because the PACT Act passes? All it means is they don't have to decide between their cancer drugs and their house. Their struggle continues. From the crowd: This bill does a lot more than just give us health care. Jon Stewart: It gives them health care, gives them benefits, lets them live. From the crowd: Keeps veterans from going homeless keeps veterans from become an addict, keeps veterans from committing suicide. Jon Stewart: Senator Toomey is not going to hear that because he won't sit down with this man. Because he is a fucking coward. You hear me? A coward.
5:15 Jon Stewart: Pat Toomey stood up there — Patriot Pat Toomey, excuse me, I'm sorry. I want to give him his propers, I want to make sure that I give him his propers. Patriot Pat Toomey stood on the floor and said “this is a slush fund, they're gonna use $400 billion to spend on whatever they want.” That's nonsense. I call bullshit. This isn't a slush fund. You know, what's a slush fund? The OSO, the Overseas Contingency Operations Fund. $60 billion, $70 billion every year on top of $500 billion, $600 billion, $700 billion of a defense budget. That's a slush fund, unaccountable. No guardrails? Did Pat Toomey stand up and say, this is irresponsible. The guard rails? No, not one of them. Did they vote for it year after year after year? You don't support the troops. You support the war machine.
7:10 Jon Stewart: And now they say, “Well, this will get done. Maybe after we get back from our summer recess, maybe during the lame duck…” because they're on Senate time. Do you understand? You live around here. Senate time is ridiculous. These motherfuckers live to 200 — they’re tortoises. They live forever and they never lose their jobs and they never lose their benefits and they never lose all those things. Well, [sick veterans are] not on Senate time. They're on human time. Cancer time.
8:20 Jon Stewart: I honestly don't even know what to say anymore. But we need your help, because we're not leaving. These people cannot go away. I don't know if you know this, you know, obviously, I'm not a military expert. I didn't serve in the military, but from what I understand, you're not allowed to just leave your post when the mission isn't completed. Apparently you take an oath, you swear an oath, and you can't leave, that these folks can leave because they're on Senate time. Go ahead, go home, spend time with your families, because these people can't do it anymore. So they can't leave until this gets done.
Senator Toomey PACT Act Amendment Floor Speech July 26, 2022 Senate Session
Representative Mark Takano PACT Act Floor Speech July 13, 2022 House Session
3:38:20 **Rep. Mark Takano (D-CA): The way this country has dealt with toxic exposure has been piecemeal and inadequate. President Biden recognizes this, too. Shortly after he was sworn in, I met with the President about our shared priorities for veterans. Upon learning of my goal to pass comprehensive legislation to help toxic-exposed veterans, the President leaned over to me and talked about his son, Beau, who served near burn pits in Iraq and Kosovo. It might be hard for most Americans to imagine what a burn pit looks like because they are illegal in the United States. Picture walking next to and breathing fumes from a burning pit the size of a football field. This pit contained everything from household trash, plastics, and human waste to jet fuel and discarded equipment burning day and night. Beau Biden lived near these burn pits and breathed the fumes that emanated from them. President Biden believes that con- stant exposure to these burn pits, and the toxic fumes they emitted, led to Beau’s cancer and early death. It was during that meeting when I knew I had a partner in President Biden.

Join Host Buzz Knight with guest Charlene Li.
She is the Chief Research Officer for the PA Consulting Group, Author and Expert in the field of leadership and disruption.
Show Notes
Be Bold, Open, Transparent, and Authentic for Change as a Leader with Charlene Li Leaders need to be fearless and take risks to create change. Sometimes it's not a matter of being lucky but rather being bold enough to initiate the change in the first place. If a leader is too scared or cautious about taking risks, they will never be able to implement the needed changes their organization needs. Join another conversation of “Takin’ a Walk Podcast.” This show is about the love of conversations with extraordinary people, people who have extraordinary stories. Leadership is one of the topics I always talk about with the guests when taking a walk. Today’s guest, Charlene Li, is an expert in that area.
Charlene Li has been helping people see the future for the past two decades. She’s the New York Times bestselling author of six books, including her newest release, The Disruption Mindset: Why Some Businesses Transform While Others Fail, and Open Leadership, as well as co-author of the critically-acclaimed book, Groundswell. Charlene is an entrepreneur who founded and ran Altimeter Group, a disruptive industry analyst firm that Prophet acquired in 2015. With over 20 years of experience in tech and business, she has been a respected advisor to Fortune 500 companies on digital transformation and leadership. Charlene also serves on the regional board for YPO, a global network of CEOs.
Charlene is a sought-after public speaker and has appeared at events ranging from TED and the World Business Forum to SXSW. She has appeared on 60 Minutes and PBS NewsHour and is frequently quoted by The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, USA Today, and The Associated Press. She was named one of the Top 50 Leadership Innovators by Inc. and one of the most creative people in business by Fast Company. Charlene graduated magna cum laude from Harvard College and received her MBA from Harvard Business School. She lives in San Francisco and enjoys baking sourdough bread to counter her real-time professional life.

Notable Quotes * People who are good at growing in distractions have developed a mindset of seeing obstacles as opportunities. * The people who are able to be bold to experiment are the ones who have healthy relationships with crises. * The good news is that there’s no bad news…The bad news is that there’s no good news. * If you are not creating change as a leader, you are just maintaining the status quo.

Get Lit - Words Ignite
In this week's episode of the Get Lit Minute, your weekly poetry podcast, we spotlight the life and work of poet, author, visual artist, and musician, Shira Erlichman. Her poems explore recovery – of language, of home, of mind. Her poetry book Odes to Lithium centers around her experiences with mental illness. Her picture book Be/Hold: A Friendship Book uses compound words to illuminate what is possible when we come together. Her work has been featured in Buzzfeed Reader, The Rumpus, PBS NewsHour’s Poetry Series, The Huffington Post, The Seattle Times, and The New York Times, among others. Source
This episode includes a reading of her poem, "Mind Over Matter", featured in our 2022 and 2023 Get Lit Anthology.
"Mind Over Matter"I tried. But mind over matter is a joke. The mind
is matter. Someone’s unprofessional opinion
was to “relax” over matter. To sandcastle over
wave. They aimed to clean up a murder scene
from behind a plate of glass. It was my murder.
Mine. As if I could possess the firegrief that
possessed me. Wrestle the wind to the floor for
daring enter my house. But it’s just me down
there, gripping my shoulders, threatening my
own heart. Have you ever seen the dark split
into two peaches? Sickness is a lot like that.
To the uninitiated it looks like fruit. Wise, shiny,
certifiably cherry. Do you mind if I die while I
say it? Rot that my teeth met: my fault. Would it
matter if I tried while I died? Will you relax
the coffin into the soil? If you don’t have blood
on your hands by the end of this you weren’t
listening.

Bradley Onishi + Daniel Miller
Brad and Dan begin by going through the nuts and bolts related to the FBI's search of Trump's residence--what it requires to get a warrant, who had to sign off on it, and what it means that the GOP has no faith in the process or belief in the rule of law.
They then examine the reactions to the search from MAGA Nation, followers of QAnon, and influential right-wing politicians, pundits, and influencers. The overall tone: This means the next civil war. Unfortunately, the consequences are already being manifest--yesterday a man tried to enter an FBI facility in Cincinnati and was killed in a standoff with law enforcement.
The last segment examines the revelations that the FBI's search centered on classified information related to nuclear plans, weapons, and/or secrets. Brad lays out the case that this could be related to the billions of dollars Trump officials (including Jared Kushner) have received from the Saudi family. Dan argues it could be as simple as Trump wanting to show off to old golfing buddies.

Mike Blinder
Damian Daniels had three encounters with the local police during the last 48 hours of his life. The Army veteran was in his home in August 2020, amid a mental health crisis, when his brother — 800 miles away in Colorado — called the Red Cross for help. The agency, in turn, called 9-1-1, and police officers were dispatched for a welfare check that turned deadly, culminating in an officer shooting Daniels twice, killing him.
Tragedies like this — when a person in the throes of a mental health crisis is shot and killed by police officers — aren’t rare. Washington Post reporters Jon Gerberg and Alice Li found 178 similar cases over the course of three years. They wrote about Daniel’s death in “When a call to the police for help turns deadly,” part of the Washington Post’s “Unaccountable” investigative series — a deep dive into how the police serve the communities they’re tasked to protect.
Jon Gerberg is a senior video journalist for the Washington Post and a member of the investigative team. He's been with the news organization since 2017, and before that, he reported for The New York Times, the Associated Press, TIME, and worked as a foreign affairs producer for “PBS NewsHour.”
As the database editor for the investigations unit at the Washington Post, Steven Rich knows data and how integral it is to investigative stories. Rich and Gerberg were E&P Publisher Mike Blinder's guests on E&P Reports 149th episode. They were joined by E&P contributor Gretchen A. Peck for a conversation about data and the “Unaccountable” series.
“I got the job here at The Post through an internship,” Rich recalled during the vodcast. “I turned that internship into a second internship and into a job. At the time, there was not as much data capacity at The Post. They sort of needed me, and I was focused largely on large investigative projects.”
Though the term “data journalism” may be relatively recent on the news-evolution timeline, the practice is hardly novel. “Data journalism has kind of been under the surface for a very long time,” Rich said, citing Ida B. Wells as an example, who in effect collected data about lynchings in the south.
Rich sees data as a way to offer larger context to otherwise anecdotal stories. “My job is to take your anecdotes and to tell you how often they happen,” he said.
For roughly seven years, The Post’s data team has been building a publicly available database of police shootings across the country, populating it, mining it, and gleaning patterns and revelations to inform their reporting.
For example, they track the number and location of police-involved shootings, whether the victim was armed, and where it took place — for instance, in a private home versus in a public setting. They also seek insight into why the police are on the scene at all — if a call to 9-1-1 was the only option for help.
The investigative team knew that Damian Daniel’s death was not unique. They knew of other high-profile incidents when the police were called to help people in mental crisis, only to kill them during the course of that interaction. They cited Daniel Prude in Rochester, New York and Walter Wallace, Jr. in Philadelphia.
“But we wanted to know how often this is actually happening, and that’s where we turn to colleagues like Steven, who have actually been compiling this database,” he added.
With the help of a team of journalism students from American University, The Post’s investigative team could look at approximately 1,000 police shooting cases and drill down to those for which mental health was a suspected or known factor.
They found 178 such occurrences, representing victims of all ages, races and genders.
There were some things the data didn't reveal, which required the investigative team to find answers in other ways. For example, the database doesn't currently track officers' disciplinary records or suspensions, whether they were involved in prior similar incidents, or whether they've been violent outside of the job.
“My approach to data journalism is and has always been as a way to take a great story and make it excellent,” Rich said.
“The most important part of data journalism is the journalism itself. … It’s one thing to collect data, but you have to actually extract the meaning out of it,” Rich suggested.
The “Fatal Force” database continues to inform the investigative team’s reporting. “It’s kind of a gift that keeps on giving, from a storytelling and reporting perspective,” Gerberg told Blinder and Peck.
"Data really is the fundamental spine of our reporting because why are we telling these stories if they do not tell us something about the world in which we live? I would just add that if you kind of take the inverse of that, if you only have the data and are never taking stories out of that, what does it mean in the first place? I think a crucial part of our job is to take that data and identify those trends, but also work to really illuminate and understand what kind of consequences these trends are having in the lives of everyday people,” Gerberg concluded.
The team’s reporting of this story inspired change in Bexar County, Texas. “Bexar County had a mental-health response unit within its own police department,” Gerberg explained. “The problem was, Mr. Daniels was actually in the jurisdiction of the Bear County Sheriff’s, rather than the [San Antonio Police Department] — so, a different jurisdiction. But since Mr. Daniel’s killing, the judge there has implemented a secondary program to increase mental health options for the rest of the county, as well.”

The Todd Herman Show
THE THESIS: God has removed the scales from people’s eyes. The schemes of the wicked have been exposed and their plans are beginning to crumble!
THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES:
Ephesians 6:10-18 - The Whole Armor of God
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. 16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; 17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, 18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication.
THE NEWS & COMMENT:
The premier center for chemically and surgically mutilating children is closing its doors! While the America media will soft-peddle this (if they cover it at all), but this is massive blow to The Party! Tavistock’s closure is a sign of things to come: the lawsuits by people who were conned into getting mutilated as teens will be expensive and will reveal this pure evil. The Tavistock bosses, no doubt, hope to be forgotten when those suits launch. We must forgive them, but we must not forget. Praise Jesus that place is being shut-down.
BREAKING: The NHS is shutting down its gender identity clinic for children after a damning review found that it failed vulnerable under-18s
But, the cult of Pharma is still devouring families in America and FOX News--the “news” division, that is--, CPAC and other shiny shoes are complicit. Cases like this happen all over America. But, God is at work . . .
Chicago Mother Loses Custody of Her Daughter—For Insisting That Her Daughter Is A Girl
Michael Shermer comments: “12-year old girl with no signs of gender dysphoria suddenly go trans, is directed by "psychotherapist" step-mother to separate from her mother, father gets full custody, mother's life is ruined. It's the 1990s Recovered Memory Movement redux . . .”
In the UK, people can speak the truth that men are men and women are women! God uses broken vessels, look at me, a simple rodeo clown of a host.

It’s not just you. You're not crazy. You're not a bad mom. You're not alone. These are words and deep beliefs that resonate through and form the backbone of today’s guests, Catherine Birndorf, MD, and Paige Bellenbaum, LMSW. Catherine and Paige are dedicated to changing the perinatal mental health terrain, and they do it through The Motherhood Center, a place of radical acceptance, nurturance, and individual and group support. On today’s episode, we pull back the curtain on motherhood and redefine what is considered "normal" and "typical". With PMADs (perinatal mood and anxiety disorders) being the #1 complication associated with birth and the #2 cause of maternal mortality, this is a critical conversation. On today’s episode, we unpack why it’s so important that we talk more about these conditions, how to do your best to prevent PMADs, and what to do if you or someone you love has symptoms.
Aviva, Paige, and Catherine discuss:
- The definition of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADS) and the different diagnoses that fall under the PMAD umbrella
- What PMAD taboos still exist today, why this needs to change, and how Roe v. Wade affects these taboos
- Paige and Catherine’s personal stories with perinatal mood disorders and what brought them to the point of specializing in PMADS and opening the motherhood center
- The kinds of physical and psychological feelings and symptoms associated with PMADs and signs birthing people and their providers should watch out for
- Why we need to move in the direction of making it mandatory for OB-GYNs, midwives, pediatricians, and any providers who come in contact with newer expecting mothers to begin educating their patients about PMADS and screening for symptoms
- The effects of the pandemic, social isolation, and potential cultural contributors on PMADS
- The role of medication and psychotherapy in treating conditions
Catherine Birndorf is a reproductive psychiatrist and the co-founder, CEO, and medical director of The Motherhood Center of New York. Dr. Birndorf is the founding director of the Payne Whitney Women’s Program at Weill Cornell Medicine and a clinical associate professor of psychiatry and obstetrics & gynecology.

She is the author of The Nine Rooms of Happiness and What No One Tells You: A Guide to Your Emotions from Pregnancy to Motherhood.
Paige Bellenbaum is the founding director and chief external relations officer at The Motherhood Center of New York. For the past 20 years, she has worked in public policy, advocacy, and clinical care with various populations, including homeless families and incarcerated young adults. She drafted legislation in New York State championed by Senator Liz Krueger, mandating hospitals to provide education on PMADs and strongly encouraging screening of all new and expecting mothers, signed into law in 2014. She has appeared on the Today Show, Good Morning America, NPR, PBS Newshour, Fortune, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal.

At 0815 on the morning of August 6th, 1945, an atomic bomb known as ‘Little Boy’ was released by Bombardier Thomas Ferebee above the Japanese city of Hiroshima. What followed was a new type of destruction never before visited upon humanity. Buildings burned, Japanese citizens ambled about in confused terror and pain, and radiation began its deadly work. Join us for the first episode of Hardtack as we explore the seemingly peaceful moments before the bomb dropped, and the immediate aftermath as told through some of the survivors of this tragic event.

Sara Bronin is a Mexican-American architect, attorney, and policymaker specializing in property, land use, historic preservation, and climate change. She's a professor of planning and law at Cornell University, and she was recently nominated by President Biden to Chair the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, pending Senate confirmation. She founded and directs the National Zoning Atlas, a tool that aims to depict critical aspects of zoning codes nationwide in an online, user-friendly map.

This is an audio version of Mike Murphy‘s Friday rumblings. This is a regular post on Facebook that I’ve turned into a podcast. I decided Mike’s words needed a wider audience. You may agree or disagree with what he says, but there is certainly much food for thought contained here. You can friend Mike on Facebook for the printed version or read it below
Rumblings. 7.29.22
- “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” – Upton Sinclair
This is why so many needed initiatives struggle to get passed in Congress. Follow the money and you’ll see who legislators are really beholden to and why they aren’t willing to change the rules of engagement. It’s nothing new. You’d think the quite obvious existential threats to our planet might force a change but money is a powerful, powerful enticement. It’s been the ruin of many of us.
No matter the organization there is always a danger that ‘love of money’ will rear its ugly head. It seems there’s always one person, with dubious motives and a large bank account, lurking in the background, looking for just one greedy soul, willing to throw integrity to the wind.
- Religion is one of the safest places to hide from God.” – Richard Rohr
I’ve seen this happen. I’ve done it myself. I found myself hiding. God came looking for me. I kept hiding. In plain sight I hid, but in my defense I did hold up a sign that declared religious practice and sound doctrine were sufficient and that knowing a lot about God was equal to or better than being in an intimate, loving relationship with the Almighty. And it was easy to find others who believed that too.
Once again, I was wrong.
- “May we not just grieve, but give:
May we not just ache, but act;
May our signed right to bear arms
Never blind our sight from shared harm;
May we choose our children over chaos.
May another innocent never be lost.” ~ Amanda Gorman
- “Two people read the same Bible.
One sees reasons to love.
The other reasons to hate.
One sees unity.
The other division.
One finds prejudice.
The other equality.
One discovers compassion.
The other, indifference.
One goodwill.m.
The other malice.
Two people, one book.
One book, two views.
The book is a mirror.
The reflection is you.” ~ Mindful Christianity
Pope Francis began a weeklong trip on July 24 across Canada, meeting with indigenous communities, calling it a “pilgrimage of penance”. The Pope issued a historic apology Monday for the Catholic Church’s cooperation with Canada’s “catastrophic policy of Indigenous residential schools”, saying “the forced assimilation of Native peoples into Christian society destroyed their cultures, severed families and marginalized generations in ways still being felt today.”
Obviously, the Pope opened his Bible and decided that confession and repentance, not indifference, were near and dear to God’s heart. He can’t fix the personal and generational pain that was inflicted upon indingenous people but his humility, honesty and sincere tears of remorse open a door to further healing. And the church will need to walk through those doors.
- “Biblical faith calls it the Image of God in which we are all created. Thomas Merton calls it the true self. Quakers call it the inner light, or “that of God” in every person. The humanist tradition calls it identity and integrity.” ~ Parker Palmer
When we come home to our true self, a light goes on and our whole way of being begins to change. When we choose the false self, we turn off that light and nothing changes.
6. The Jan. 6 hearings, if nothing else, revealed the character or lack of it of the main players on that particular day. The former president was center stage of course and when he decided that throwing ketchup against the wall was far better than taking responsibility for his actions and saving lives, he revealed himself fully as the bad actor he truly is.
Joseph Heller of “Catch 22” fame might have been prophetic when he wrote this years ago.
“It was miraculous. It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice. Anybody could do it; it required no brains at all. It merely required no character.”
Still and remarkably, 40% of Republicans surveyed in a recent NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll consider January 6 “to be an unfortunate event that happened in the past and it’s of little or no concern now.” Wowser. What a world they live in.
By the way, “Run, Hawley, Run” memes still have me chuckling. As I said last week, it’s pretty much a clown show at this point. In doubt? Consider these gems.
-Florida GOP Congressman Matt Gaetz asked the question. “Why is it that the women with the least likelihood of getting pregnant are the ones most worried about having abortions? Nobody wants to impregnate you if you look like a thumb.”
-The gay son of Rep. Glenn Thompson, R-Pa., got married on Friday. A few days earlier, his father voted against the Respect for Marriage Act, which would codify federal protections for same-sex marriage.
- “The American Negro has the great advantage of having never believed the collection of myths to which white Americans cling: that their ancestors were all freedom-loving heroes, that they were born in the greatest country the world has ever seen, or that Americans are invincible in battle and wise in peace, that Americans have always dealt honorably with Mexicans and Indians and all other neighbors or inferiors, that American men are the world’s most direct and virile, that American women are pure…Negroes know far more about white Americans than that …The tendency has really been, insofar as this was possible, to dismiss white people as the slightly mad victims of their own brainwashing.” ~ James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time (1963)
My hunch is anything by Baldwin will end up on the ‘do not teach’ list in a variety of states. That saddens me because letting the brainwashing continue is a disservice to everyone.
- In his terrific little book “Seeking God: Finding Another Kind of Life with St. Ignatius and Dallas Willard”, South African Methodist pastor Trevor Hudson describes a life changing conversation he had with his friend Dallas Willard. One evening he asked Dallas to recommend a list of books for him to read. Willard replied “I suggest you read Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.”
Hudson followed up asking him if there were any other books he should read. Willard replied: “My suggestion is that you take the next 20 years or so to read and meditate on these four gospels. Read them repeatedly, immerse yourself in the words, and deeds of Jesus, and commit to memory as much as you are able.”
Dallas Willard’s conviction was that if someone wanted to “interact with Jesus as his disciple, one must keep company with Him in the Gospels.”
What a beautiful and meaningful spiritual practice. I don’t know if I have twenty years left in me but to spend what ever time I have left in the company of Jesus is a very compelling thought.
- “Jesus didn’t die on the cross so that we don’t have to. He died on the cross so that we may join him there.” Dallas Willard
“When Christ calls someone he bids that person to come and die.” ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“If we truly want to know the life God gives us at its best, it’s deepest, it’s most flourishing, we need to learn to die daily. While this may not involve literal martyrdom, it will mean dying to all those aspects of our lives that prevent us from becoming the loving person God wants us to be. Life through death describes the pattern of authentic Christ following”. ~ Trevor Hudson
In order to rise, one must die. I’m pretty sure life is a series of mini-deaths and resurrections. If we can accept and embrace that concept, we’re well on the way to growing up.
- In a cartoon by David Hayward, Jesus is talking to his disciples and says: “You have heard me say: be humble, forgive, love, and show mercy. But now I say unto you: ridicule those who disagree with you, despise people of other orientations, denigrate women, and above all be arrogant and rude.”
Satire has a way of getting our attention doesn’t it? In this case it should lead to some soul searching.

Story in the Public Square
Caring for a sick or aging loved one can be an uncertain journey filled with every emotion—from love and devotion to anger and frustration. Dave Iverson pulls back the curtain on the decade he spent caring for his elderly mother to offer a modern love story with insights and meaning for anyone who is a caregiver or anyone who has ever loved.
Iverson is a writer, documentary film producer, director and retired broadcast journalist. He was 59, he moved in with his 95-year-old mother who could no longer care for herself. His new memoir, “Winter Stars: An Elderly Mother, an Aging Son and Life’s Final Journey,” tells the story of the 10-year caregiving odyssey they shared until her passing at the age of 105. Iverson has produced and reported more than 20 documentary specials for PBS, including the Frontline film, “My Father, My Brother and Me” which explored his family saga with Parkinson’s disease. He has served as a special correspondent to the PBS NewsHour and hosted local PBS and NPR programs for 35 years at Wisconsin Public Broadcasting and at KQED San Francisco. Iverson is also a founding member of The Michael J. Fox Foundation’s Patient Council. He is the recipient of a national Emmy, four regional Emmys and numerous film festival citations.

We discuss Friday Morning's announcement that the US Supreme Court has overturned Roe V Wade which legalized abortion in every US State. We discuss the escalation in the manufactured culture wars that will result from this, the serious issues with people such as Donald Trump and the late Justice Antonin Scalia playing primary roles in making this a reality and the spiritual compromise and moral hypocrisy that comes with celebrating their roles in this, and we discuss why we fall into the neither/nor category on this matter.

Andrew Jazprose Hill
After Day 3 of the January 6 Hearings
turned Mike Pence into an 11th-hour hero during the Capitol Riot, the big three networks embarked on a frantic race to bring some version of his story to television.
For a while the front-runner appeared to be The Fly Catcher—a series about how the lackluster VP and MAGA yes-man becomes transformed after he’s bitten by a pansexual insect during a televised debate with Kamala Harris.
Pitched as “Spiderman meets The Fly meets Do the Right Thing,” the show’s premise turned on the idea that even a robotic human can find the courage to do what’s right when he accepts his place in the Marvel Universe and learns to orgasm.
“This is what today’s 18-49 demographic wants to see,”
Said show runner Rhonda Grimes. “Let’s face it, we’re trying to sell cars and makeup here.”
But that project floundered when the producers failed to work an interracial romance into the story line. Also, while several actors expressed interest in portraying the fly, no one in Hollywood wanted to play the former Vice President.
Another offering that bit the dust early was the Dick Wolf-inspired Law & Order, Seditious Activities Unit, put forth by NBC. Apparently, those producers blew it by casting Sam Waterston as the Vice President.
“You can’t take a guy who played Nick Caraway and Jack McCoy and turn him into Pinocchio,” said one insider who preferred to remain anonymous. “The hair’s right, but Waterston’s image oozes too much integrity. He’s already a real boy.”
For the time being, it looks like the CBS network will be first out of the gate this fall with Young Mike Pence, a multi-decade prequel to the January 6th riot, which looks at several seminal events in the Veep’s childhood.
Billed as a reluctant coming-of-age story
The series foreshadows the last-minute heroism during which Pence finally grew a pair, saving America from a major constitutional crisis and the nation’s first foundational threat to the rule of law in 230 years.
The pilot begins with Caroline Kennedy bestowing the annual Profiles in Courage Award on Mr. Pence as his surrogates on Team Normal sing Negro Spirituals based on the Book of Daniel in the background. Then the scene shifts to Young Mike’s first encounter with a bully on the school playground, a fat kid with red hair who bosses other kids around and gets away with it.
The mad dash to elevate Mr. Pence to hero status is a perfect illustration of how things sometimes take on a life of their own—a phenomenon known as the Frankenstein Effect.
What it is
Coined by a Belgian consulting firm in 2011, the Frankenstein Effectis what happens when ideas and concepts take on a life of their own without any regard for the global concept. When this happens on a massive scale, it becomes a monster—a construction of unconnected modules—that strangles the clarity and direction of the original concept.
Recent well-known examples of the Frankenstein Effect include—the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard defamation trial, the Oscar Slap Heard Round the World, Bye Felicia, and the political market known as Trumpism, which will likely continue to live after its creator has disappeared.
On this 50th anniversary of Watergate, everyone from Politico to Fox News to Bill Maher is busy comparing Woodward and Bernstein to the recent Bye Felicia incident at the Washington Post. But the firing of a reporter (whose name really is Felicia) for engaging in a Tweet storm with her colleagues is not as funny as some would like to think.
Granted, it’s not as funny as getting tossed butt-naked from an orgy like the Felicia of Straight Outta Compton. Nor should it be. But just like Amber and Johnny, it’s a perfect example of the staggering power of the Frankenstein Effect. The way it takes off like wildfire on a windy day, threatening everything in its path.
You know what else is not funny?
The 25 million* Republicans who still believe the 2020 Presidential Election was rigged, fraudulent, and ultimately stolen from Donald Trump—the so-called Big Lie. Not only is that not funny—it’s downright scary.
The 25 million (who account for 70% of registered Republicans) believe the Big Lie even though the Trump campaign submitted 180 claims in 62 lawsuits, half of which were thrown out for lack of standing—( e.g., you can’t bring a lawsuit about something that happened in Pennsylvania if you live in Texas) while the rest failed because they lacked evidence and were unable to make their case.
The 25 million believe the election was stolen even though every hand-recount has shown no evidence of fraud on a scale likely to change the outcome.
They believe it even though Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani had his law license suspended for making false and misleading claims regarding the election in a court of law.
Although the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the Capitol has documented all these things in painstaking detail, it is sadly unlikely that the 25 million have bothered to watch the public hearings.
It’s easy to understand why they’re skeptical
Compared to Young Mike Pence or Will Smith slapping the sh*t out of Chris Rock at the Oscars, the hearings are boring. Also, the 25 million may very well regard them as a partisan witch hunt—just like they view the Trump-Russia probe and the two impeachments.
That skepticism naturally increased when the Democratic leadership in the House removed three Trump loyalists who all but telegraphed ahead of time that they intended to divert attention away from the former president’s role in the attack and focus instead on things like poor security at the Capitol. You can see why the Dems felt they had to do what they did, but the optics are not good.
As a result, the 25 million will probably never see the sworn public testimony from members of Trump’s own inner circle. Most of whom have stated under oath that they could find no evidence of fraud, knew the election was not stolen, and communicated all of this to the former president. A man who nevertheless continues to proclaim just the opposite to this very day.
Even former Attorney General Bill Barr testified that Trump behaved like he was “detached from reality.”
But don’t tell that to the 25 million
Why? Because the Big Lie has taken on a life of its own. Even if Trump himself were to suddenly announce that he’d been joking the whole time, the believers would continue to believe that somehow, some way, the election was fraudulent.
That is the Frankenstein Effect writ large
On April 25, several weeks before the January 6 hearings began, ProPublica, a nonprofit investigative news agency, released a trove of emails and interviews it conducted with leading advocates of the Big Lie.
Their research shows that Trump’s claims of election fraud could not have taken hold with the public to such a large degree if those claims had not been repeated again and again by surrogates who promoted the falsehood in the news media and on social media platforms.
Those interviews revealed that all these advocates knew their election-fraud claims had been disproved, disputed, or dismissed as dubious. And yet, they continued to push the rigged-election theory into the communications ecosystem.
When confronted with the report’s findings
Most of these people dismissed them outright. But perhaps the most telling response came from Joseph J. Flynn, brother and spokesperson of Michael T. Flynn.
“Stupid report. No one wecare about will read it.”
That’s how confident he was that the Frankenstein Effect had taken hold. Not only will the 25 million not read such a report, they won’t even hear about it on any media outlet or social media feed they follow.
For them, the Big Lie has passed from the realm of reason into the realm of faith. It would be easier to convince an evangelical Christian that the Bible was written by Dr. Strange than to get them to accept the outcome of the 2020 election.
Which brings us to the Second Amendment, the National Rifle Association, and Uvalde
This is where the Frankenstein Effect is literally killing us.
According to historian Heather Cox Richardson, at the time the Constitution was written the “right to bear arms” was generally construed to mean part of an organized militia. Although the amendment’s language is broad, even the Supreme Court upheld this concept for decades. So did the National Rifle Association (NRA).
Richardson writes that prior to the 1970s, the NRA supported federal legislation to:
limit concealed weapons;
prevent possession by criminals, the mentally ill and children;
require all dealers to be licensed;
and require background checks before the delivery of any firearm.
It backed the 1934 National Firearms Act
and parts of the 1968 Gun Control Act, designed to stop what seemed to be America’s hurtle toward violence in that turbulent decade.
But in the 1970s, according to Richardson, a faction of the NRA forced the organization to part with its own traditional support of gun sportsmanship (hunting, skeet-shooting, etc.)—and to focus instead on “gun rights.”
They formed a political action committee (PAC), hired a PR firm, and began pumping money into the idea that the Second Amendment protected the right of individuals to own any gun they wanted to.
In the words of the Brennan Center for Justice, this was how the NRA rewrote the Second Amendment.
It’s also how they helped put 20 million AR-15 style assault weapons into the United States. Our nation of 332 million now has more guns than people.
Although the power and financial resources of the NRA have waned in recent years, thanks in part to in-fighting within the organization, all that previous effort has paid off just like the Big Lie has paid off. Fifty years of NRA campaigning has created a constituency that no longer needs NRA input to maintain a chokehold over Congress.
Those heavily marketed ideas now have a life of their own.
Mike Spies is a senior writer at The Trace magazine, which covers gun violence exclusively. During an interview the day after 19 children and two teachers were killed in Uvalde, Texas, he told the PBS NewsHour that the NRA has created a monster over which it has lost control. It has constructed its own Frankenstein.
Here’s the Irony
In Mary Shelley’s novel, the monster winds up killing its creators. Dr. Frankenstein dies from disgust and pneumonia, and his partner Henry Clerval is murdered by the very monster he helped create.
Shelley’s story of a modern Prometheus is a cautionary tale for today’s America.
As the highly respected conservative federal Judge J. Michael Luttig pointed out during Day 3 of the January 6 hearing, the Big Lie promoted by Donald Trump and his associates remains a serious and ongoing threat to our democracy.
But that other monster threatens us every single day too—where we shop, where we pray, in hotels, in spas, in hospitals, in movie theaters, on the streets, and even where our children go to school.
It’s a good thing we can count on Congress to create a pathetically inadequate “framework” that will give them something to campaign on for the midterms, while doing little, if anything, to save us from another Uvalde.
Meanwhile, the rest of us can kick back and wait for CBS to release the first episode of Young Mike Pence. Because sometimes, half a hero is better than no hero at all.

James Walker
We may be quite familiar with the biblical exhortation from 1 Peter 3:15 to be ready to give a defense for the hope that is in us with gentleness and respect, but in our day and age where dialogue with those with whom we disagree is so polarized and divisive, we may easily forget what 1 Peter 3:15 looks like in practice. For the next two broadcasts of Apologetics Profile, we're stepping away from our normal "interview" format to bring you a special rebroadcast in two parts of a panel discussion between two atheists and two theists. One of those panel participants is James Walker, President of Watchman Fellowship. James was asked to appear on the panel by long-time friend of James', Jim Hall, himself a lifelong atheist. The challenge for the panel was to "trade places" with each other, with the atheists offering what they believed were the best arguments for God's existence and the weakest arguments for atheism, while the theists were challenged to offer what they thought were the strongest arguments for atheism and the weakest arguments for God's existence. The discussion was civil and cordial and we believe serves as a good example of how to put into practice what 1 Peter 3:15 tells us. We hope it serves to encourage you to have more informed and civil conversations in your own engagement with your non-Christian neighbors and friends. Special thanks to Jim Hall of Atheist Edge for permission to rebroadcast this for Apologetics Profile. CONTENT WARNING: This has been edited for time and to remove explicit language. Mature themes are discussed in the broadcast.

Benjamin Day and Stephanie Nakajima - Healthcare-NOW
Today we look at the somehow-legal world of healthcare sharing ministries, a form of health coverage where like-minded religious folks share health care costs. After a series of lawsuits and scandals, these companies are in the news again recently. We’ll look at what HCSMs are, how they have flourished as insurance costs rise, and the potential risks they pose to the unsuspecting consumer. Then we’ll turn the page to talk about how communities of faith are playing a key role in winning a just and equitable healthcare system.
Today we look at the somehow-legal world of healthcare sharing ministries, a form of health coverage where like-minded religious folks share health care costs.

We’ll look at what HCSMs are, how they have flourished as insurance costs rise, and the potential risks they pose to the unsuspecting consumer. Then we’ll turn the page to talk about how communities of faith are playing a key role in winning a just and equitable healthcare system.
Our guest today is the Reverend Jim Rigby. Rev. Rigby has been the pastor at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Austin Texas for over 25 years. He has a love of world religions and a passion for social justice. Healthcare justice has been a part of his ministry because he believes that healthcare is the most basic right to life, along with a living wage and decent housing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeRIN9nF-to
Show Notes What are Health Care Sharing Ministries?
Ben explains that healthcare sharing ministries (HCSMs) are a form of health coverage in which members, who share religious beliefs, make monthly payments to cover the healthcare costs of other members.
BUT they are not insurance. Insurance is supposed to cover most of your healthcare services, with cost-sharing by the patient. HCSM are much cheaper than insurance, which is why they’re so alluring. But they cover much less, and only pay for a fixed amount of a service, regardless of the total cost. HCSMs, unlike insurance companies, don’t take on any risk.
The ministries are typically Christian. Members generally must declare their religious faith and promise not to smoke, drink alcohol excessively, or engage in extramarital sexual activity. Generally, they also do not cover abortion, mental health services, or birth control. Unlike insurance, HCSMs can deny coverage for people with pre-existing conditions.
The ACA used to fine people for not having insurnace, but HCSMs were exempted from that fine even though they do not meet the federal definition of insurance. (That fine was eliminated under the Trump administration, and the Biden administration hasn’t reinstated it.)
HCSMs have been around since the 80s, but grew in popularity during the 90s and again after the passage of Obamacare – basically whenever we see concerted efforts to make the government responsible for more healthcare costs.
“About 1.5 million Americans are members of these kinds of ministries, according to the Alliance of Health Care Sharing. Some $2 billion in medical expenses were shared through this type of ministry in 2020. There are over 100 health sharing organizations certified by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for meeting the federal law’s definition of a health sharing ministry.” – Reported in Catholic World Report in May 2022.
Unregulated HCSMs leave people behind and contradict the religious values they claim to be based on
Health insurance companies aren’t well-regulated in the United States, but they still have to operate under some basic regulations. Gillian explains that there are virtually no regulations on HCSMs. As a result their practices can be exploitative.
Thirty states actually have “safe harbor” rules that exempt HCSMs from the restrictions on insurance companies. In “safe harbor” states, as long as members receive a written disclaimer from the HCSM and a monthly statement of member requests and contributions, the ministry is not considered to be engaged in the “business of insurance.”
Rev. Rigby discusses the contradiction between capitalism and democracy in the US. Democracy has to be based on basic human rights, while capitalism measures value based on property rights and wealth. The nature of HCSMs is to reward people who can afford it with healthcare, while leaving others behind.
HCSMs are marketed using language based on Christian theology around supporting and sharing with each other, but doesn’t actually live up to those values in reality, leaving people without access to care if they can’t afford it. They are also marketed as a way to avoid funding other people’s birth control and other services you may not agree with.
Consequences of HCSMs on patients
Because they’re not regulated, there isn’t much data or reporting on HCSMs, so it’s hard to get our hands around exactly what people experience. There are lots of anecdotal stories of people being denied coverage for treatment based on a perception they strayed from Christian values (for example an April 2022 tweet by a woman named Tina Nelson said “Friend’s mother died needing a liver transplant. Had “Christian Health Plan”…was denied the transplant because her liver failed due to Hep C, which was a very “unchristian” thing to acquire. She was 60.”
Other horror stories include that of Sharity (Formerly known as Trinity Health Share), which went bankrupt last year. A 2022 lawsuit from the state of California alleges Sharity denied the majority of claims and spent as little as 16 cents per dollar on premiums. At its highest point, Sharity had about 40,000 member households nationwide
In April 2021, when the Sharity board learned that the extent of unfulfilled requests was twice what they had expected, they voted unanimously to pursue a reorganization bankruptcy and started the process in July.
Court liquidation documents filed in October 2021 state that the ministry held over $300 million in unpaid member claims. A liquidation trust for Sharity has been set up to distribute the remaining money to members with outstanding bills; however, according to a New Hampshire Department of Insurance statement, “the money recovered will likely be a fraction of the total.”
Jim shares his vision for the role of people of faith and compassion in the movement for healthcare justice. He describes a future where people are more important than property, and Christians have an obligation to be part of the fight to get us there.

Tragically, school shootings have become all too common in America. While the attack at a Uvalde elementary school is the deadliest in nearly a decade, it's also the 27th school shooting this year alone.

This week is a win for discord! Our accountability institutions brought some much-needed sunlight to Biden’s proposed Disinformation Governance Board, which promptly shriveled in the public gaze. We look at what erstwhile Disinformation Czar Nina Jankowicz had to say about the agency’s demise, ask what Orwell got wrong, and discuss what the public did right. Then, we take a peek inside Congress’ new $40 billion aid package to Ukraine and talk about what might be missing. Meanwhile, America-first natcons are seething about the ‘GloOoOoObalist Agenda,’ but also meanwhile, America-first natcons are holding a destination CPAC in… Hungary. It’s a whole lot of hot nonsense to unpack, so join us!

We look at this positive and enlightening book by Andrew Leon Hanna. You can see more about it here. 25 Million Sparks: The Untold Story of Refugee Entrepreneurs, reviewed Andrew Leon Hanna takes us on an important and relevant deep dive into the struggles of refugees, in this case from Syria, but their experiences and challenges are of course relevant for many more communities as well. The three people featured are all dynamic and making a success of it, and yet it seems like they have been anonymised. As they are entrepreneurs this seemed like a missed opportunity for them, as they are clearly aiming to make a splash and reach a wider audience. The fact that they are Syrian also illustrates that the current disruption and tragedy unfolding in Ukraine is not a one off incident, but part of a series of aggressive actions by Russia, in Georgia, the Crimea eight years ago, and also in Africa too. It is perhaps a fair comment that more overage has been given to Ukraine in the West, for many reasons, including its geographical proximity. In this context this book is a great attempt to tell the stories of other people whose lives have been brutally disrupted through no fault of their own. The influx of refugees to many countries often stirs up nationalistic jingoistic, and aggression and racism. Books like this can, hopefully, at least help to try and humanise the people involved, their suffering, and their desire to simply live happy and fulfilled lives. They are not coming for our jobs, or anything else either. This book is accessible and well written, and hopefully it achieves the impact it is looking for. More about the book 25 Million Sparks: The Untold Story of Refugee Entrepreneurs (Cambridge University Press) by Andrew Leon Hanna (Stanford Knight-Hennessy Scholar, Harvard attorney, Forbes 30 Under 30) tells the story of three Syrian women entrepreneurs in the Za’atari refugee camp in Jordan, and of the broader global refugee entrepreneurship phenomenon they represent. It has been called “a powerful story of hope” by Nobel Peace Prize winner Leymah Gbowee, a chance to”discover humanity at its best” by PBS NewsHour anchor Judy Woodruff, “inspir[ing]” by the Financial Times, and “uplifting” by Publishers Weekly.Amid the largest refugee crisis in history, 25 Million Sparks seeks to tell a story that reflects the equal dignity of refugees. a story of power, determination, and dignity – of igniting the brightest sparks of joy, even when the rest of the world sees only the darkness.

Mark Miller
A couple weeks ago, this newsletter featured a PBS NewsHour story on the Great Retirement - the impact that early retirement forced by the pandemic has had on millions of older workers.
The story caught the eye of my friend Marc Miller - yes, you got that right, Marc Miller, although he spells his name with a C, not a K. Marc is a career coach who specializes in advising older workers, and he works with clients often who are struggling with unexpected job loss late in their careers. Since this is a topic I write about frequently, Marc invited me to join him on his podcast for a discussion.
I’m posting the resulting conversation today. Among the questions and issues we discussed:
Will older people who left the workforce early due to COVID-19 want to return after the pandemic? And, will they be able to do that?
What are the economic risks of premature retirement?
What the risks in relying on the recent booming stock market to fund extra years of retirement?
If you’re dealing with these issues, check out Marc’s work at Career Pivot. He moderates a very interesting online forum there for older workers, and you can find all of his podcasts and other online resources.
Click the player icon at the top of this post to listen to our conversation. The podcast also can be found on Apple Podcasts and Stitcher.
What I’m reading
A two-year experiment in changing how we work . . . Her husband wanted to die, and she heard his wishes . . . The Labor Department wants to investigate crypto in retirement plans . . . As President Biden proposed, Medicare needs the ability to negotiate drug prices . . . More employers are moving retirees to Medicare Advantage as they seek to reduce costs . . . New IRS rules on inherited IRAs force paster payouts . . . Generation X volunteers want to help you, and one day themselves, age at home . . . Meet the underdog of senior care . . . Corporate employers show a bit more interest in phased retirement programs.
