Description
It's the 25th anniversary of 9/11- Meredith, Rebecca, and Dr. Sarah Oreck talk about where they were, why Gen Z made Osama Bin Laden a folk hero, why we've never found a ritual for collective grief, and why Mayor Zohran Mamdani keeps getting used as a political football by 9/11 conspiracy theorists.
One year since Charlie Kirk's death: Erika Kirk wrote a grief essay for the New York Times with Usha Vance as the through line. Is there a Kirk documentary is coming? At the midterm RNC in Dallas, Republicans put a half-naked Hasan Piker on the jumbotron as enemy number one while Democrats simultaneously try to distance themselves from him. John Fetterman made a surprise video appearance. Grindr crashed in Dallas. Again.
Then, former Anthropic AI researcher Jacob Coxon resigned and went public: AI is racing toward self-improving superintelligence without safeguards, with a 10% chance AI kills humans within the next decade.
