Unexpected Elements - Balloon manoeuvres

After North Korean balloons delivered trash to South Korea, we explore balloons of all kinds, why they can be useful, and when they’re not.

Scientists have been using balloons for a long time, from pig bladders dropped from great heights, to Michael Faraday inventing the rubber balloon.

Floating through the air seems like a great, energy-efficient way to fly. So why isn’t the sky full of airships?

And party balloons are fun… but do we want to waste our precious helium on parties? What is this limited gas worth saving for?

Also, why you’re likely smarter than your grandparents were at your age, why snails climb up walls, and scientists looking at clouds from space.

NBN Book of the Day - Asaf Elia-Shalev, “Israel’s Black Panthers: The Radicals Who Punctured a Nation’s Founding Myth” (U California Press, 2024)

Asaf Elia-Shalev's book Israel's Black Panthers: The Radicals Who Punctured a Nation's Founding Myth (U California Press, 2024) tells the story of the young and impoverished Moroccan Israeli Jews who challenged their country's political status quo and rebelled against the ethnic hierarchy of Israeli life in the 1970s. Inspired by the American group of the same name, the Black Panthers mounted protests and a years-long political campaign for the rights of Mizrahim, or Jews of Middle Eastern ancestry. They managed to rattle the country's establishment and change the course of Israel's history through the mass mobilization of a Jewish underclass.

This book draws on archival documents and interviews with elderly activists to capture the movement's history and reveal little-known stories from within the group. Asaf Elia-Shalev explores the parallels between the Israeli and American Black Panthers, offering a unique perspective on the global struggle against racism and oppression. In twenty short and captivating chapters, Israel's Black Panthers provides a textured and novel account of the movement and reflects on the role that Mizrahim can play in the future of Israel.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Five Good Emperors

Depending on how you define it, there were approximately 70 Roman Emperors. 

They were a mixed bag ranging from philosophers to the insane, from generals to children. 

Some were truly horrible, but some were actually pretty good at their job. In particular, there were five consecutive emperors who reigned during the peak of Pax Romana.

Learn more about the Five Good Emperors on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

What A Day - SCOTUS Holds Off On Big Case Decisions… Again

Thursday was a bit of a letdown for Supreme Court watchers. The justices issued opinions in three smaller cases, but we’re still waiting for decisions in more than two dozen others with just a few weeks left of the term. Some of those cases could be hugely consequential, touching on everything from reproductive rights and presidential immunity to social media and guns. Melissa Murray, co-host of Crooked’s legal podcast ‘Strict Scrutiny,’ says we should brace ourselves for a wild June.

And in headlines: An Israeli strike killed dozens of Palestinians who were sheltering at a U.N. school complex, prosecutors called Beau Biden’s widow to the stand to testify in Hunter Biden’s federal gun trial, and Pat Sajak hosts his final episode of Wheel of Fortune today.

The Best One Yet - 💩 “Smelly in Paris” — Olympics $1.5B river cleanup. James Bond’s spy business. Lululemon’s nightlife opportunity.

50 days before the Olympics, Paris is still cleaning up its river for the swimming events… And paying $1.5B to do it.

A startup run by British spies consults 40% of the world’s biggest companies… it’s selling information.

And Lululemon stock is down 35% this year so we think they should pull an Abercrombie… and own an occasion.

Plus, Tokyo’s government just launched a dating app… but if you fib about your height, you go to jail.
