Good night!
I might not know what to say about the world right now, but I'm grateful @onthemedia.bsky.social and @brookegladstone.bsky.social know who can speak to the madness. Another excellent episode. Thank you, βSiva Vaidhyanathan, @alanrozenshtein.com, and @zackbeauchamp.bsky.social.

Evan Solomon is a lightweight overseeing a serious file. I have not heard anything about regulation out of him. Ugh!
I know why it happens, but Iβm so tired of Canadian broadcasts leaning on the βwhat does this mean to the price of oilβ angle every time thereβs a global catastrophe. Who got bombed today? What are the casualty numbers? Who is in danger and who is safe? The oil angle is just lazy.
Was it you who suggested the audiobook read by Juliet Stevenson? What a dream.
I love flatbread and Za'atar.

Doomscrolling is the weaponization of literacy
The global reproductive rights organization Ipas will be receiving "multi millions" from TED's Audacious Project. This is the first time the project has funded an organization that works specifically in abortion access and care since the initiative was developed in 2018.
