Henrietta Lacks was a mother of five who died of cervical cancer in 1951 at the age of 31. Before she passed, a tissue sample of her cancer cells was taken.

Those cells have been the basis for decades of cancer and biological research, and have also been at the center of one of the greatest medical ethics controversies in modern times.

This Machine Kills - Patreon Preview – 127. More Tech Reckoning (ft. Matt Lech, David Griscom)

In part two of our discussion with hosts of Left Reckoning, Matt Lech and David Griscom, we pick right back up where we left off. We get into the environmental racism of where Amazon builds its warehouses and the ways that Black, Hispanic, and/or low-income communities are treated as sacrifice zones for the unending expansion of capitalism and technology. We then talk about the predatory model of buy now, pay later companies—one of the most obviously socially harmful “innovations” to pop off during the pandemic.

Subscribe to the podcast! 

https://podfollow.com/everythingeverywhere/

The bible talks of three wise men who traveled to Bethlehem bringing gifts to the infant Jesus. These gifs were gold, frankincense, and myrrh. 

I think most of you probably have a good conceptual grasp of gold, but what is the deal with frankincense, and myrrh? Were they really that big of a deal that they would bring it as a gift? 

Learn more about frankincense and myrrh, what they are and why they were such a big deal, on the episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
