What A Day - It’s Arraigning Men

Former President Donald Trump will make his first court appearance in Manhattan today, to answer to criminal charges handed down by a grand jury on Thursday. He’s expected to face dozens of charges related to hush money he paid to adult film star Stormy Daniels.

Starbucks is facing more scrutiny, after former CEO Howard Schultz was grilled by Senate lawmakers last week over the company’s labor practices and allegations of union-busting. Michelle Eisen, who helped form the chain’s first-ever bargaining unit in Buffalo, New York, joins us to discuss where things stand for Starbucks Workers United.

And in headlines: Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin conceded defeat to the country's right-wing National Coalition Party, a federal judge temporarily blocked Tennessee’s anti-drag law, and NASA named the crew for its first lunar mission in 50 years.

The Daily Signal - INTERVIEW | What Finland Joining NATO Means for Russia, War In Ukraine, and How It Benefits America , National Security Expert Explains

Finland is joining NATO, and Victoria Coates says Russia is less than pleased. 


Leaders in Moscow are “thoroughly outraged about this and claiming it causes some kind of intolerable threat to Russian security,” says Coates, a senior research fellow in international affairs and national security at The Heritage Foundation. (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation.) 


Finland will become the 31st NATO member on Tuesday, a move that Coates says is likely an embarrassment to Russia because counties in the region appear to “not [be] interested in joining with Russia" in the war against Ukraine.


Coates joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain the significance of Finland entering NATO and what it could mean for the ongoing war in Ukraine


Coates also shares what we know about the imprisonment of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich and how the Biden administration should be handling the situation.

NPR's Book of the Day - In ‘Bad Cree,’ a horror mystery unfolds in the aftermath of loss and colonialism

Jessica Johns' thriller, Bad Cree, opens with a startling image: a severed crow's head in someone's hand. In today's episode, Johns tells NPR's Ayesha Rascoe she hoped that image would set the tone for the winding mystery within her new novel. It follows a young Cree woman who returns to a home and culture she left behind in hopes of helping her cope with grief. Much of Mackenzie's story involves her dreams, and Johns explains why she felt it was so important to honor that world – especially after a professor told her otherwise.

This Machine Kills - Patreon Preview – 244. Using Neuro-Linguistic Programming to Hack Civilization

We give ourselves a concussion by talking about yet another opinion essay about AI written by three “experts” and published by a major newspaper. How is AI doing neuro-linguistic programming? What happens when your analysis is all idealism, no materialism, all superstructure, no base? Will AI soon use its godlike powers to hack civilization and create militant groups at its command just by telling us the right story? Wait, you’re telling me we have to take this shit seriously because the authors have direct lines of influence to people who have actual political power and control capital? Goddamnit.
