The Best One Yet - 🍿🍿 “In Defense of Sequels” — Pixar’s Inside Out 2 win. McDonald’s failed AI drive-thru. Surgeon General’s new warning label.

Inside Out 2 just had the best opening weekend since Barbie… Because sequels have virtue.

McDonald’s just ended its AI drive-thru experiment… Because it thought you ordered 900 iced teas.

And the Surgeon General wants to add warning labels to social media… Because TikTok is the new tobacco.

Plus, stock markets are closed tomorrow for Juneteenth, so this pod will be back Thursday.

The Daily Signal - Becket Fund Lawyer Argues for Religious Liberty of Catholic School

A catholic school’s ability to operate in accordance with its faith is in jeopardy. 


The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit heard oral arguments in St. Joseph Parish v. Nessel on Tuesday, June 11. The case involves a Catholic school in Michigan that is asking the court to protect its ability to hire staff who align with its faith.


The Michigan Supreme Court reinterpreted a state civil rights statute’s definition of sex in July 2022 to include sexual orientation without any exemption for religious organizations. In March 2023, the Michigan legislature wrote this into state law, expressly prohibiting discrimination on sexual orientation or gender identity. 


The school’s right to hire staff who hold its views on marriage and gender is at risk. St. Joseph's asks all staff to be practicing Catholics and uphold the faith. 


Senior Counsel at the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty Will Haun argued the case before the Sixth Circuit Court on June 11. 


He joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss what the case means for Christian institutions nationwide. 


Enjoy!

Short Wave - Pluto Isn’t A Planet — But It Gives Us Clues For How The Solar System Formed

Pluto hasn't been a planet for almost 20 years. In the early 2000s, scientists discovered several objects of a similar size to Pluto. So, during the summer of 2006, members of the International Astronomical Union convened in Prague to reconsider what counts as a planet in our solar system. IAU members decided that there were three criteria to be a planet — and Pluto didn't meet all of them.

But planetary scientist Wladymir Lyra says that even though it was downgraded to a dwarf planet, Pluto still has much to teach us about planet formation. This episode, he also lays out his case for Pluto — and many other objects in the solar system — to be considered a planet.

This episode is part of Short Wave's space camp series about all the weird, wonderful things happening in the universe. Check out the full series.

Questions about the state of our universe or smaller happenings here on planet Earth? Email us at shortwave@npr.org — we'd love to consider it for a future episode!

What Next | Daily News and Analysis - How IVF Became the GOP’s Next Battle

Now that Roe v. Wade has been overturned, the Christian right seems to be setting its sights on banning in-vitro fertilization. But even though the Southern Baptist Convention passed a resolution against IVF, it’s a very popular and widely accepted procedure, which is why Senate Republicans signed a statement in favor of access to IVF, the same day almost all voted against protecting it by law.


Guest: Megan Messerly, health policy reporter at Politico.

In today's episode, author Nicola Yoon speaks with NPR's Ayesha Rascoe about writing in the thriller genre, dismantling the idea that Black people are a monolith, and finding inspiration in The Stepford Wives.
