The Commentary Magazine Podcast - Mel Brooks, COVID and Iran (But Not In That Order)
Today’s podcast concludes with a commemoration of the life and career of 95-year-old Mel Brooks and what they have to teach us—and how we need to restore what he brought to American life and American comedy. Before that, we ask why Democrats and Republicans have such wildly divergent views about the end of the pandemic—and the thickets into which the Biden administration has wandered with Iran. Source

Time To Say Goodbye - Click, buy, suffer? Plus listener questions
Hello from Tammy’s 104-degree podcast studio!
This week, we talk about the nightmare of piled-up container ships on the West coast, why Covid has triggered these crises along the global supply chain, a bit of logistics history, and the dire ecological future that awaits us.
Also, for the first time in a while, some listener questions:
* Are there racial aspects to Yang’s mayoral downfall? Or do Yang’s two campaigns tell us something about the difference between appealing to Asians versus a wider public?
* More on the “Asian pessimism” discussion from last week?
* Any social-justice wins to be happy about?
Thanks to Stephanie, Sam, and Cliff for their questions! And thanks to all of you for listening and subscribing. Stay cool!

Headlines From The Times - Recall, George Gascón, and the troubles of progressive D.A.s
Los Angeles County Dist. Atty. George Gascón has a policing pedigree like few others. Army veteran. Patrol officer in Los Angeles. Police chief in San Francisco before becoming D.A. there. Now, he’s in charge of the D.A.’s office in L.A., one of the largest in the country. He’s part of a wave of progressive district attorneys who have won elections in some of America’s largest cities with a promise to radically reform their offices. And he’s currently the subject of a recall effort. Today, we tackle this blowback, talking to L.A. Times crimes and policing reporter James Queally, a member of the Recall Gascón campaign, and Gascón himself.

The Best One Yet - 🤑 “I Venmo’d Venmo” — Venmo’s hook-em-book-em. Facebook’s platinum pegasus. Honda’s awkward alliance.
Venmo’s been so free for so long. But that may change with its new hook-em-then-book-em strategy. Facebook hit a platinum pegasus $1 trillion valuation after winning its most important lawsuit ever. And Honda is making its 1st ever electric vehicle… but it’s not making its 1st ever electric vehicle.
