Consumer advocate, former Green Party presidential candidate, & author Ralph Nader returns to Bad Faith to cut through the media gaslighting about Harris "fighting tirelessly" for a ceasefire and to respond to an online-left that has been successfully wooed by "vibes" to embrace Kamala despite her commitment to providing arms to a genocidal state.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Lighthouse of Alexandria (Encore)

When Alexander the Great died, one of his generals and best friends, Ptolemy, took Alexander’s corpse and went to Egypt to establish a new Pharaonic dynasty.

One of the things he did during his reign was to begin construction on what would become one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. 

It stood for over a thousand years and was unlike the world had ever seen.

Learn more about the Lighthouse of Alexandria and what eventually happened to it on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Gabino Iglesias’ ‘House of Bone and Rain’ is a tale of vengeance in Puerto Rico

Bram Stoker Award-winning author, Gabino Iglesias, knows what it's like for grief and anger to turn deadly. That's what he explores in his new novel, House of Bone and Rain, which follows six close friends who vow to avenge the murder of one of their own mothers as a hurricane approaches. In today's episode, Iglesias, who's a frequent book critic for NPR, speaks with NPR's Ayesha Rascoe about what it's like to be part of a brotherhood so deep, you consider each other to be "ride or die" friends – but why maybe there really shouldn't be any need for the latter.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Supercomputers and the Evolution of Computing Power

If you’ve been around long enough, and by that, I only mean a couple of years, you have probably observed the one fundamental truth about computers: they always get faster. 

While games and web browning might seem faster, the average person’s computer usage doesn’t necessarily express just how much more powerful computers have become. 

In particular, for several decades, supercomputers have been developed which are vastly more powerful than what is one your desk or in your pocket. Unless that is, you make comparisons over time…

Learn more about supercomputers, the evolution of computing power and how your computer stacks up to supercomputers of the past on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
