Philosophers In Space - 0G196: Everything Everywhere All at Once pt1
This ones a lot, it really is everything all at once, so we brought in some help. From the Alpha verse, the multidimensional paterfamilias Jesse Rabinowitz joins us to discuss the Buddhist philosophy behind EEAAO. In part one we discuss the first half(ish, it's a lot) of the movie and the problem of Everything. In part two we'll discuss their "solution".

Opening Arguments - OA637: Trump’s Appeal Is On Clarence Thomas’s Desk, But That’s Ok
I mean it isn't really ok that Clarence Thomas is on the Supreme Court, and he definitely should recuse himself from any of this (he won't), HOWEVER, there is no need to freak out about this particular thing. Andrew has the breakdown. Plus, Ken Paxton avoided a deposition... until he didn't. Because he's an idiot. And finally, is Elon Musk going to buy Twitter? And therefore was Andrew wrong? Well.... no.

The Stack Overflow Podcast - A chat with Red Hat CEO Matt Hicks on the path from developer to leader
Matt takes us back to the origins of his open source days and the spark that inspired his love for engineering — including the point at which he discovered Linux.
He shares how he began learning from the code itself, which was ultimately a different style of learning than what was available to him at university. Then, it was to the stacks, but not Stack Overflow. Think Barnes and Noble, not YouTube videos.
Imagine trying to navigate getting your first engineering job during the dot-com crash of the late 90s and early 2000s.
We reflect on Matt's experience building projects with his daughter, including an AI-powered doorbell he built himself.
Speaking of insatiable curiousity, we’d like to give a big high five to Wonton, who received the Inquisitive Badge. Thanks for coming on 30 separate days to maintain a positive question track record.
NPR's Book of the Day - Two writers on friendships and how they shape us
In this episode, NPR's Scott Simon interviews two writers whose books about friendship reckon with how people, and what we experience with them, make us who we are. First, Hua Hsu talks about his memoir Stay True which focuses on one of his formative college friendships, and how that friendship was cut tragically short. Then, we hear from Kamala Shamsie about her novel Best of Friends. It follows the push and pull of a friendship between two girls from when they were teenagers in Karachi to when they're older and working in London.
Short Wave - IVF Has Come A Long Way, But Many Don’t Have Access
Since the first successful in vitro fertilization pregnancy and live birth in 1978, nearly half a million babies have been born using IVF in the United States. Assisted reproductive technology has made it possible for more people to become parents, but it's not accessible to everyone. Reproductive endocrinologist Amanda Adeleye explains the science behind IVF, the barriers to accessing it and her concerns about fertility treatment in a world without the legal protections of Roe v. Wade.

We discuss recent events of a report by Tech Inquiry about big tech’s military contracts was pulled by its funders — a major union and a major social democratic party — over Tech Inquiry’s refusal to censor its criticism of Microsoft. We offer our own critical analysis of organizations focused on building short-term, self-interested alliances with capital instead of ones focused on building long-term, worker power that is antagonistic to capital.

Plus, Joe Biden pardons the 0 people in federal prison for simple marijuana possession.

Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - We Need A Better Farming System Before The Food Chain Breaks
Agriculture is a vital industry that we all rely on — after all, it’s what feeds us. But in 2020, the industry was responsible for 11.2% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, which contributes to a warming planet. This, in turn, creates challenges for growers whose seasons are impacted by intense rainfall and warmer night time temperatures.
Reset learns more about this with Illinois state climatologist Trent Ford; Liz Moran Stelk, executive director of Illinois Stewardship Alliance; and Andy Hazzard, founder of Hazzard Free Grain farm in Pecatonica, IL.
