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.

In this episode, Dr. Shaunna and Dr. Lisa dive into two timely conversations starting with a critique of celebrity opulence against the backdrop of widespread hardship. Then they tackle the evolution and utility of the term “African American” in our current social landscape. Expect sharp observations, spirited debate, and actionable insights.
Word of the Week [0:36]: Feather-bedded: Deriving from Persian terminology, the Drs discuss the privileged and comfortable.
Phase 1 [3:40]: Oblivious Opulence: Ugh, are we sick of Gayle King yet? Some have been turned off for years, however, there is something to be said of the most recent slew of posts -- they only seem to demonstrate abundance in a context of shrinking resources for many.
Phase 2 [24:02]: African American Identifiers: On a take from an NYT op-ed and a subsequent piece in The Atlantic, the Drs. discuss the utility of the phrasing "African American". They question whether Black will suffice, and if neither is appropriate, what are the alternatives?
