Brought to you by... - 7: The Bodies at the Brooks Brothers

There's a Brooks Brothers store across the street from the World Trade Center in New York. Shortly after the attacks on September 11, a young doctor named Sandeep Jauhar headed to ground zero to help. He ended up at the store, which was transformed into a makeshift morgue. Suddenly, he’s put in charge, which was the last thing he wanted. This is a story of ties and white collared shirts, and how heroism is often improvised.

Philosophers In Space - OG21: DS9 Dax and Queer Personhood

I have seized the means of pod production and installed Callie Wright as our new leader. Long live Callie Wright!

Thomas had a thing this week, so Callie and I recorded on the Deep Space Nine episode "Dax" (ep1.7 or 1.8 depending on service). We talk about queer theory and Star Trek, as well as persistence of personhood after radical changes in personality. And there should actually be new intro quotes this week unlike the lies I told last week that no one read anyway. And! Next week we're doing Gattaca and genetic inequality.

Also, we're happy to announce the winners of our book raffle:

Quartz reporter Lynsey Chutel has the actual statistics, as well as the political context—land reform—that pushed white nationalists into embracing victimhood in the first place.
