  • Political violence on both sides?

    Absolute Propaganda. You have someone on air spewing statistics that are complete rubbish.

  • Disgusting episode

    The 5/4 episode about political violence was especially disgusting. You completely ignored the BLM riots in which many people died as well as businesses being destroyed. And, suggested that people wanting illegal immigration to stop are racist. The NYT does everything it can to protect democrats while demonizing republicans.

  • Annoying voices

    I often find myself bailing on an otherwise interesting episode due to my inability to tolerate guests/reporters vocal fry or off putting cadence. A great journalist may not be suited for audio format- please find a sub or have them train in advance. Surely the producers can hear what I’m hearing!

  • Disappointing…

    Today’s story about what’s driving, political violence was quite disappointing. The discussion and guests points were full false equivalence points presented. Sane washing what is happening will not help but neither will refusing to look at what is happening objectively.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Inside the Five Days That Remade the Supreme Court
Q: What happened in the 2016 case involving the Clean Power Plan?
The memos show Chief Justice Roberts moving to halt the plan, arguing it would impose enormous burdens and raise questions about the president's authority, while Breyer and others urged patience and to allow the lower courts to proceed under the usual process.
Inside the Five Days That Remade the Supreme Court
Q: What did the confidential memos reveal about the justices' private discussions?
The memos reveal candid discussions among the justices, showing grievances, strategic considerations, and private agendas that diverge from the public-facing legal reasoning, illustrating how personal and political factors influenced decisions.
Inside the Five Days That Remade the Supreme Court
Q: What is the Shadow Docket and how does it bypass the traditional process?
The Shadow Docket refers to emergency orders issued with brief briefs and little or no oral argument, which short-circuits the standard merits process that involves extensive briefing, hearings, and deliberation. This episode explains how this expedited path has become more prominent and controversial.
The Workers Letting A.I. Do Their Jobs
Q: How big is this shift in practical terms for coders?
The shift is substantial: AI agents are used to plan, write, and test code, with teams of sub-agents handling different parts of a feature, leading to much faster iterations and a move from manual coding to more design and communication tasks with AI.
The Workers Letting A.I. Do Their Jobs
Q: Walk us through that reporting, what it entailed and what it unearthed.
Thompson explains that he surveyed about 75 software developers nationwide to understand how AI was changing coding practices, finding that many are outsourcing coding tasks to AI, that the pace accelerated in the last six months, and that developers largely feel excited and empowered by AI, though concerns about de-skilling and job stability persist.
