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.
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:
Robert
Kristin
Devyn Lennex

On The Gist, Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation is all but certain.
A recent Donald Trump tweet gave credence to a bogus (and dangerous) claim: that South Africa’s white farmers are the first targets in a looming genocide.
