The Best One Yet - 🤩 “Too Hot To Selfie” — Poparazzi’s #1 summer app. Urban Outfitters’ discount death spiral. Biden’s blue collar $6T.
Poparazzi has risen to #1 in Apple’s App Store after just 1 week of existence — but is it a Snapchat or an HQ Trivia? Urban Outfitters may have suddenly saved itself from the Discounting Death Spiral… of Death. And Joe Biden just introduced his 1st budget proposal as president: For $6 trillion it’s not about what’s on the menu, it’s about who gets the check.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Gaius Appuleius Diocles: The Richest Athlete in History
Who do you think what the wealthiest athlete in history? Maybe Michael Jordan. Perhaps Tiger Woods or Roger Federer. Or maybe Lionel Messi or LeBron James?
Well, historically speaking, if you added up the fortunes of all of those people, they probably couldn’t compare to one man who competed in ancient Rome. A man who put his life at risk far more than any golfer or tennis player.

Ologies with Alie Ward - Phallology (PENISES) with Emily Willingham
Dongs. Schlongs. Peters. Intromittent organs. Gamete cannons. Biologist, gonad researcher, and Phallologist Dr. Emily Willingham joins to chat about peckers big and small, plain and fancy, barbed, coiled, colossal, pickled, and efficient. Also on the agenda: how the pressures of masculinity affect self-image, what actually contributes to a partner’s pleasure, what can cause willies to go wonky (and how to get back on track,) life beyond the binary, and sensual turtles. Stick around to the end for friendly fellatio advice from penis-owners; boy howdy it’s a hard episode to pass up.

NBN Book of the Day - Gregg D. Caruso, “Rejecting Retributivism: Free Will, Punishment, and Criminal Justice” (Cambridge UP, 2021)
According to an intuitive view, those who commit crimes are justifiably subject to punishment. Depending on the severity of the wrongdoing constitutive of the crime, punishment can be severe: incarceration, confinement, depravation, and so on. The common thought is that in committing serious crimes, persons render themselves deserving of punishment by the State. Punishment, then, is simply a matter of giving offenders their just deserts. Call this broad view retributivism. What if retributivism’s underlying idea of desert is fundamentally confused? What if persons lack the kind of free will that would make them deserving of punishment in the sense that retributivism requires?
This is the central question of Gregg Caruso’s new book, Rejecting Retributivism: Free Will, Punishment, and Criminal Justice (Cambridge, 2021). After arguing against the idea that persons can be deserving of punishment in the retributivist’s sense, Caruso develops an alternative approach to criminal behavior that he called the Public-Health Quarantine Model.
