  • Trashy story about Hollywood

    I don’t think the details associated with “intimacy coaches” and their methods for Hollywood actors making R rated movie scenes qualifies as beneficial reporting.

    There are better elements of culture to highlight.

    This is the same NPR that begged for donations after federal funding was pulled.

Q: Just politically speaking, in this moment of so many different amateur media outlets, how much does this standoff affect how Trump's message is getting out?

Meta just launched an AI agent and others are following. Is the internet ready?
Q: Is the Internet ready for Muse and similar personal agents, given the scope of access they require?
The guest and host acknowledge that there's a mix of excitement about productivity gains and legitimate concerns about privacy, security, and potential misuse, suggesting a cautious approach and ongoing scrutiny before widespread adoption.
Prosecutor reopens investigation into Cornell fraternity rape allegations
Q: What are you hearing from students about campus reactions in the last week?

Sexual assault on campus is a problem. Can laws help address it?
Q: Senator Gillibrand, I've covered you for a long time on and off the Hill. So I want to ask you a question, not as a Senator, but just as a mom, and I understand that you have at least one son who's college age. How do you talk to your sons?
She explains balancing concern for safety with practical conversations about risk, emphasizing the importance of educating young men about consent, respect, and responsibility, while acknowledging the broader need for systemic campus protections.
