Jen was sick during our normal recording time, but she soldiered through because there was too much going on to not record. We hit on the latest view-throttling Twitter scheme from Elon, then move on to the SCOTUS decisions on affirmative action in college admissions and compelled speech in the face of hypothetical situations.

We will likely skip Callin this week due to this episode coming out later but who knows…

Noam and Jen discuss the brief military coup launched by Prigozhin and his Wagner crew, with an emphasis on what it all means for Russia (and Putin) going forward.

A nonprofit fabricates a story about veterans in NYC being displaced in favor of migrants, nobody checks story because why would they do that:
