This episode spots the sludge -- every day fictions that block help and information. Recent reports of U.S. strikes on alleged drug boats require us to questions the legal, ethical, and political justifications. The pressure points around Thanksgiving travel, retail spin, and who pays the price during holiday logistics cannot be ignored this week, either.
Word of the Week [2:29]: Sludge: Ever get so frustrated by endless phone menus, dropped calls, and that "unusually high call volume" refrain? Welp, that sludge is by design.
Phase 1 [12:39]: Boat Strikes: Reports of at least 20 strikes across the Caribbean and Pacific waters mention ~80 individuals k*lled and 2 known survivors. The justification of "non-international armed conflict" should all raise a brow given its parameters and how abnormal this is in the realm of human rights and lethal force at sea.
Phase 2 [27:08]: Thanks is Giving...Spin: Air traffic controller strains continue, which then lead to other transportation systems being taxed. Retail is being spun as a win, instead of a loss, given that Thanksgiving meals are NOT cheaper in comparison to last year. This holiday season will shift more burdens on households that are already stretched thin.

Over 400 celebrities signed an ACLU letter in support of Jimmy Kimmel's return to the air after being silenced by cronies of the current presidential administration. While public opposition to threats to free speech grew, we simultaneously had to navigate being presented with unwanted videos of recent public violence in the social media public square.
Word of the Week [1:46]: Otrovert: Just like most topics on this podcast -- this one challenges the binary of introverted and extroverted ways of being.
Phase 1 [7:05]: Ethical Reporting: How do journalists navigate the razor's edge between truth-telling and harm reduction, especially when covering violence? This episode explores trauma-informed reporting, the ethics of true crime, and the remnants of Mamie Till-Mobley's radical decision to "let the world see."
Phase 2 [29:54]: Free Speech in Crisis: What does "free speech" really mean when media consolidation, executive orders, and political pressure reshape the public square? From Jimmy Kimmel's blackout and subsequent return to censorship threats, we look at the tension between constitutional rights and corporate control.
