I am so goddam proud of this episode of GIVE ME AWAY, I really think we crushed it on a bunch of levels. But fair warning: it may give you flashbacks to some… less-than-pleasant days in recent memory.

GIVE ME AWAY Season 3 Episode 8, "You Have Ten Months" (written by me), is live now wherever you get your podcasts. Our hybrid heroes face their deadliest challenge yet: working a regular job. I'm being glib, but that is part of it. The point is it rips, and you should listen to it.

1901, photograph by Dr. Allan Warner of two 13 year old boys both infected with smallpox on the same day, one vaccinated as an infant and one not.
Of the two boys with smallpox, the one who had been vaccinated has very few pox while the other is horribly disfigured.

🚨Trump drops all pretense and openly admits the mass raids in Chicago are about ICE raids and deportations (not crime), and essentially declares that he’s going to war with the city.

there are many things I love about the newest season of a show I’ve loved since ep 1 but this little side adventure for Talia + Noa/Jade has to be one of my favorite scenes I’ve ever recorded. a refreshing breath in a season that absolutely grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go (complimentary)

Why didn’t some of the Epstein survivors speak out earlier? “I thought someone was going to kill me,” one explained.

As another asked, “Why did the government work so hard to protect Jeffrey Epstein and not victims like me?”

one of my absolute favorite audio dramas is back! Give Me Away premiered their third season and yes, okay, I'm biased because I'm in it, but to be clear, I was all in even before I got the amazing opportunity to act in this awesome, inventive world. and you are NOT prepared for the twists coming up

They call the crashed spaceship “The Ghosthouse” because it screams the screams of thousands of extraterrestrial prisoners trapped in its mainframe.

Would I free a Ghosthouse prisoner? Would you? Could I handle the responsibility? Could I be responsible for leaving them there? Give Me Away's premise really exercises my brain, my self-awareness, and my empathy. There's not much more I can ask of a piece of fiction.

Big sci-fi concepts and questions that make you think, explored by characters who make you facepalm, tear your hair out, bite your nails and occasionally punch the air. Jump in now if you haven't so far.

Side note: Red Camp could fix Arthur Lester.

Justice Sotomayor's dissent in Skrmetti (which she's now reading from the bench) is deeply pained, accusing her colleagues of abandoning "transgender children and their families to political whims" and badly damaging "bedrock" principles of equal protection. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
Tennessee’s law expressly classifies on the basis of sex and transgender status, so the Constitution and settled precedent require the Court to subject it to intermediate scrutiny. The majority contorts logic and precedent to say otherwise, inexplicably declaring it must uphold Tennessee’s categorical ban on lifesaving medical treatment so long as “‘any reasonably conceivable state of facts’” might justify it. Ante, at 21. Thus, the majority subjects a law that plainly discriminates on the basis of sex to mere rational-basis review. By retreating from meaningful judicial review exactly where it matters most, the Court abandons transgender children and their families to political whims. In sadness, I dissent.

Sotomayor: "What the Court once recognized as an imperative check against discrimination, it today abandons...it does irrevocable damage to the Equal Protection Clause and invites legislatures to engage in discrimination by hiding blatant sex classifications in plain sight."

Unironically they should buy up the domains for about 60 defunct local newspapers in swing states. Hire two reporters to write almost exclusively about highschool sports and new restaurants opening with every 10th article about how the local GOP is screwing over people.

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...
Rep. Laurel Libby, R-Auburn, recently used my second-place finish in the 1,600-meter run, and that of my teammate in the 800-meter run, to malign Soren Stark-Chessa, the trans-identified athlete who finished first. One of the reasons I chose to run cross-country and track is the community: Teammates cheering each other on, athletes from different schools coming together, and the fact that personal improvement is valued as much as, if not more than, the place we finish. Last Friday, I ran the fastest 1,600-meter race I have ever run in middle school or high school track and earned varsity status by my school’s standards. I am extremely proud of the effort I put into the race and the time that I achieved. The fact that someone else finished in front of me didn’t diminish the happiness I felt after finishing that race. I don’t feel like first place was taken from me. Instead, I feel like a happy day was turned ugly by a bully who is using children to make political points. We are all just kids trying to make our way through high school. Participating in sports is the highlight of high school for some kids. No one was harmed by Soren’s participation in the girls’ track meet, but we are all harmed by the hateful rhetoric of bullies, like Rep. Libby, who want to take sports away from some kids just because of who they are. Anelise Feldman Freshman, Yarmouth High School Yarmouth
