Lawyering in Memphis. Check out www.FaughnanonEthics.com for my thoughts on ethics and lawyering. Listen to my unrelated podcast, Listeners Like You, for everything else.
This might be the most insightful thing I have read in a minute.
I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Our new episode is nothing more or less than 75. We talk Geese. We play a numbers game. We air some corrections & explain some weather related reasons we didn’t get to talk about things we should have talked about.

Episode 74 is here just in time for the snowpocalypse. Purely coincidence really but we talk “Blizzard” Dove Eillis’ debut album. We cover a lot more territory including the Catalan tradition of pooping out presents. 1/2

absolutely hate playing a team that is just a low block with no real intention to try to do anything but defend. Thrilled that we gutted that out though and got the 3 points.

ICE must be abolished. It has become a lawless, rogue agency. Federal law enforcement agencies must follow the law, if they're going to have any credibility enforcing it.
We are demanding justice for Renee Good and the prosecution of ICE agent Jonathan Ross for her murder.

Bad time for Sanchez to have two howlers like the 2 that led to Arsenal goals. Still though to be alive in the tie without Palmer, Caicedo, James, Delap, and Gusto for the first leg keeps hope alive.

New episode out today. We pick up with a discussion of chapters 6–16 of The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by Stephen Graham Jones. The guys half-commit to an end-of-year wrap-up, tie off a few loose threads, and wander through college football, fluoridated water 1/2

Here’s how to “make sense” of all this: The right is composed of evil people doing evil things who do not give a single fuck about this country, your state or your family. All they want is power and the power to crush anyone who isn’t a white man that believes in society oriented around white men.

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

We desperately need a better opposition party. This shit sucks.
The White House is laser focused on threatening a military takeover of Greenland.
Where’s the same focus on lowering costs?
