This Day in Legal History: Reagan Fires Air Traffic ControllersOn August 5, 1981, President Ronald Reagan followed through on a warning to striking air traffic controllers by initiating the dismissal of over 11,000 of them. The controllers, members of the Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization (PATCO), had walked off the job on August 3, demanding better wages, shorter hours, and improved working conditions. Reagan responded firmly, citing the fact that federal employees had taken an oath not to strike against the government. In a speech delivered the same day the strike began, he gave them 48 hours to return to work or face termination. When the deadline passed without compliance, the administration acted swiftly, beginning the process of mass firings. The move marked a defining moment in Reagan's presidency and had lasting effects on labor relations in the public sector. It also effectively broke PATCO as a union, with the government decertifying it shortly afterward. The decision underscored Reagan's commitment to law and order as well as his hardline stance against labor disruptions that affected national infrastructure. It sent a powerful signal to other unions and shifted the political climate around collective bargaining. The Federal Aviation Administration eventually rebuilt the workforce, but full staffing and operations took years to stabilize.A federal judge in San Diego has ruled that Duane Morris LLP must face most of the claims in a proposed class action accusing the firm of misclassifying certain employees as "partners" to shift tax and benefit costs onto them while denying them a share of the firm's profits. The case was brought by Meagan Garland, a former employment law partner at the firm, who alleges that Duane Morris used the "non-equity partner" designation to avoid paying payroll taxes and employee benefits like health and disability insurance.Judge Cathy Ann Bencivengo rejected Duane Morris' motion to dismiss the majority of Garland's claims, though she allowed two dismissed claims to be amended. Garland also claims the firm engaged in discriminatory pay practices, alleging that women and minorities were paid less than white male colleagues. Duane Morris, founded in Philadelphia, denies any wrongdoing and contends that Garland was properly treated as a partner under the law. The lawsuit spotlights the broader issue of how law firms use partnership titles that may not reflect actual ownership or control.US law firm Duane Morris must face lawsuit over alleged partner pay scheme | ReutersThe U.S. Department of Justice, under Attorney General Pam Bondi, is reportedly convening a grand jury to investigate claims that officials from former President Barack Obama's administration fabricated intelligence about Russian interference in the 2016 election. The investigation stems from assertions by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who has alleged the intelligence community was politically weaponized. The DOJ recently formed a strike force to assess those claims, though it has not commented on the reported grand jury.President Donald Trump has amplified Gabbard's accusations, calling them vindication and reiterating his unsubstantiated claim that Obama committed treason by trying to link him to Russia. Gabbard, who declassified certain documents, claimed they reveal a “treasonous conspiracy” to sabotage Trump's campaign. Democrats have dismissed the allegations as false and politically driven.The 2017 U.S. intelligence assessment concluded that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to harm Hillary Clinton and help Trump, primarily through cyber operations and disinformation. However, it found no conclusive evidence that the efforts changed the outcome. Russia has consistently denied any involvement.US DOJ to open grand jury to investigate Obama officials, source says | ReutersA federal judge has dismissed a defamation lawsuit brought by Devin Nunes—former congressman and current CEO of Trump Media—against NBCUniversal over statements made by Rachel Maddow on her MSNBC show. The case centered on Maddow's 2021 claim that Nunes failed to turn over a package he received from Ukrainian legislator Andrii Derkach, who was sanctioned by the U.S. as a Russian agent. Nunes argued that Maddow knowingly misrepresented the situation, since the package had, in fact, been given to the FBI.U.S. District Judge Kevin Castel ruled that Nunes failed to show Maddow acted with "actual malice," a legal requirement for defamation claims brought by public figures. Castel said there was no evidence Maddow knew her statement was false or recklessly disregarded the truth. He also found no indication that her political bias drove her to fabricate the claim. Maddow and her team had relied on other sources, and weren't even named as defendants in the suit—NBCUniversal was.The judge noted that Nunes couldn't prove Maddow was aware of a Politico article stating the FBI had the package. Derkach, the sender of the package, was later charged in an unrelated money laundering case and remains at large. The lawsuit's dismissal underscores the high bar public figures face when attempting to prove defamation.Trump Media CEO Nunes loses defamation lawsuit over Rachel Maddow show | ReutersA federal judge in Mississippi, Henry Wingate, has declined to explain a prior ruling that was riddled with serious factual and procedural errors in a high-profile civil rights case. The original July 20 decision, which temporarily blocked Mississippi's ban on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs in public schools and universities, mistakenly named incorrect parties, included inaccurate facts, and cited material that may not exist. Wingate replaced the flawed ruling with a corrected version but refused the state's request for clarification or to preserve the original decision in the public record.In a brief order, Wingate acknowledged the mistakes as “clerical errors” and asserted that judges have the authority to correct such issues without further explanation. The state's attorneys haven't publicly suggested a cause for the mistakes, which surfaced the same week a judge in New Jersey retracted a separate opinion after it was found to contain fake citations likely generated by artificial intelligence. That incident reportedly involved a temporary assistant using AI without adequate oversight.The Mississippi ruling's errors have raised broader concerns about accuracy and accountability in the judiciary, especially amid increasing scrutiny over AI use in legal writing. Legal ethics experts, including Indiana University professor Charles Geyh, noted the scale of the errors in both cases as unusually severe for federal courts.US judge says he won't explain error-ridden ruling in Mississippi civil rights case | ReutersMy column for Bloomberg this week argues that the IRS needs to modernize its understanding of what qualifies as a charitable purpose, especially in the context of open-source software. I focus on the agency's recent decision to deny 501(c)(3) status to an open-source organization, even though its software was free, publicly licensed, and designed for use by nonprofits, schools, and public entities. The problem, I suggest, is that the IRS still relies on outdated frameworks that fail to see intangible digital goods—like code—as valid public benefits, even when they clearly serve civic or educational ends.I draw comparisons to other nonphysical outputs the IRS has deemed charitable, such as legal covenants used in historic preservation or freely distributed textbooks. If those are eligible, why not code? The IRS's reasoning—that open accessibility negates exclusivity of charitable purpose—misunderstands how open-source licensing already limits private benefit. Licenses like the GNU GPL are specifically structured to ensure that the software remains free and publicly useful, even when reused or modified.I also point out that open-source tools power major government systems, including those of the IRS itself. Recognizing code as a charitable output wouldn't require creating new law—just applying existing standards more consistently. If architectural plans or legal documents can qualify, so should code that educates, streamlines public services, or saves nonprofits from buying costly proprietary tools.Open-Source Coders Who Benefit the Public Should Be Tax-Exempt This is a public episode.

We cover two listener questions in today's episode, with two guests once again in the Listener's Chair, those being Alex Kauffmann and Suzi Darrington, who sit alongside the regular co-hosts Stuart ‘The Wildman' Mabbutt and William Mankelow.The two questions up for discussion are: “How do technological advancements alter scientific methodologies?” which was sent in by Floss in Gimli, Manitoba, Canada, and “Can ethical consumption ever exist in a capitalistic society?” which was posed by Paul in Queensland, Australia.From Floss's question, Alex feels that technology evolves to become more accurate and precise over time, forcing scientific methodologies to adapt accordingly. Suzi sees positive AI applications in science (early breast cancer detection for example) but is concerned about how it's being used in the creative fields, while Stuart advocates for technology to enhance rather than replace human skills and awareness. William emphasizes viewing AI as a tool rather than a master, for example it can be useful for mentoring when human mentors aren't accessible. He feels it all comes down to how AI is used.Then from Paul's question, William attempts to define ethical consumption by encouraging you to "stop buying crap and just buy what you actually need to exist", while Suzi posits the idea that “ if consumption is ethical, it would have to be good, not just neutral. But she thinks when people criticize consumption under capitalism, the suggestion is that it's not only not ethically good, it's actually ethically bad because it relies on someone's exploitation.” Meanwhile Alex believes that pure ethical consumption under capitalism is impossible, and advocates to be conscious of your environmental impact in consumption decisions. Stuart questions whether anyone is truly outside the capitalist system - he asks "aren't we all in the system?"What do you make of this discussion?

Josh Sigurdson reports on the push for new flu vaccines administered via dental floss as the so-called "need-free strategy" becomes a reality. A new study by Nature Biomedical Engineering calls for vaccines administered via dental floss which they claim is "more effective than a vaccine administered by syringe." Many are rightly concerned about informed consent on the matter and whether we are already seeing this type of administration, considering big pharma pretty much owns the dental industry as it is. The dental floss would apply everything from regular MMR vaccines to mRNA. There's also a major concern regarding uncontrolled dosing. This news comes out just after Moderna pushed for spraying the food supply with mRNA. There are also what they call "flying syringes" which are mosquitoes released by the US government to secretly inject people. Then there is mRNA meat and lettuce as well as nanotech like "Theragrippers." Why is big pharma so desperate to secretly get deadly vaccines into people? Could it have something to do with more than half of all expecting mothers questioning the safety of vaccines listed on the CDC recommended schedule? Meanwhile, scientists are calling for tick borne meat allergies to be purposely forced on the public to stop the consumption of meat at the same time as the FDA just rubber stamped fake salmon with no independent testing or public review. The fake salmon is filled with dangerous chemicals. People will not be told whether they're eating real or fake salmon. We need to prepare for what is to come now, not later.

We've all heard that flossing daily is key to keeping your gums healthy. But what if your dental floss could one day do more than prevent cavities? What if it could protect your whole body from serious diseases, like the flu? Research published this week in the journal Nature Biomedical Engineering shows that dental floss might be the future of vaccine delivery. In this unusual experiment, scientists used floss coated with vaccine components, such as proteins or inactive viruses and gently ran it between the gums of mice. It turns out that the soft tissue between your teeth is highly absorbent and rich in immune cells. This makes it a perfect spot for your body to detect and respond to threats like viruses. Now, flossing mice is no easy task. To pull it off, one researcher had to use a keyring to gently open each mouse's mouth, while another maneuvered the floss between its tiny teeth. They did this every two weeks over a month. After the final flossing session, the mice were exposed to a deadly strain of flu. The results were astonishing - every single vaccinated mouse survived. The ones that didn't get flossed? Sadly, they didn't make it. Even more impressive, the vaccinated mice had flu antibodies not just in their saliva, but in their faeces and bone marrow, a sign that their bodies had mounted a strong and lasting immune response. Scientists also found a boost in the number of infection-fighting T cells in the lungs and spleen. To test the idea in people, researchers gave 27 healthy volunteers dental floss picks dipped in harmless food dye. On average, the dye reached the gum tissue about 60 percent of the time, suggesting the method could be viable with a little refinement. This floss-based method could solve some real-world challenges: Needle-free: Great news for people with needle phobia. No cold storage: Unlike many traditional vaccines, these could be stable at room temperature. Easy distribution: Imagine getting your vaccine delivered in the mail and flossing your way to immunity. Better for outbreaks: During pandemics, this kind of simple delivery could help reach more people, faster. Of course, there's still a long way to go before you'll be replacing your flu jab with floss. But this research opens up exciting possibilities for painless, practical, and more accessible vaccines in the future. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Mill on the Floss is George Eliot's most autobiographical novel, and the first she published after her identity as a woman was revealed. A ‘dreamscape' version of her Warwickshire childhood, the book is both a working-through and a reimagining of her life. Ruth Yeazell and Deborah Friedell join Tom to discuss the novel and its protagonist Maggie Tullliver, for whom duty – societal, familial, self-imposed – continually conflicts with her personal desires. They explore the book's submerged sexuality, its questioning of conventional gender roles, and the way Eliot's satirical impulse is counterbalanced by the complexity of her characters.

Sarah had been running for 15 years, but it wasn't until she hit a rough patch that she finally started running on her own terms. What began as a way to manage body image in high school eventually became a tool for structure, clarity, and self-trust. In this episode, we talk about what it's like to feel like a beginner after years of running, the spreadsheet saga behind her marathon training plan, and the mental spiral that hit her at mile 15. Sarah shares how navigating injury, PCOS, and self-doubt helped her rebuild confidence—on and off the course. We also get into what it took to actually enjoy marathon training, the pressure of first-time pacing, and how this race became more than just 26.2 miles.

You the listeners send in questions to talk about. Your co-hosts Stuart and William, try and spin it round to the environment in some way. Neither see the questions before they press record. No preparation, they try and hopefully, a little bit like you, approach this stuff cold.Scott, Arisaig, Scotland - “Rewilding, a significant contemporary movement, entails the restoration and enhancement of local, regional, and international food chains and biodiversity. However, there is no singularly correct method for ecosystem management and conservation. Should we not, therefore, prioritize the rewilding of our own lives, thoughts, and perspectives first, before starting this journey? Alternatively, should we at the very least consider rewilding ourselves concurrently with wider ecological initiatives? Presently, this personal aspect of rewilding is often deferred until substantial progress has been made in ecological rewilding elsewhere, which creates separation between humankind and the wider natural world”.William affirms that humans are part of nature—we're animals, not separate. Stuart shares a curiosity about rewilding, which he sees as enriching biodiversity, not just letting things grow unchecked. William outlines three approaches: maintaining the present, restoring the past, or imagining something new. Stuart argues there's no single right way, stressing that nature is diverse and complex. Stuart feels somewhat “wild” already and values continually challenging his perspective. Insight, he believes, is fluid—something earned over and over. William echoes this, asking how disconnected we've become from nature and whether we're aligning with broader ecological efforts or staying isolated.In terms of action, Stuart calls for personal reflection: what does rewilding mean to you? William challenges rewilding's stereotypes, arguing it's not just for the whimsical—it's a conscious break from consumerism and disconnection. Floss, Gimli, Manitoba, Canada - “We too readily judge a book by its cover, and we know that, but readily overlook, that to just see the outside is limiting, as most things of substance happen on the inside. One of the greatest freedoms we can experience ourselves, and can offer others, is how we react to things, situations and people. Really, the only things worth doing, of true value, is that which we do for others. So we need to remember to avoid making quick assumptions about people and whether they're decent types, until we have the facts”.William agrees with Floss's point that we instinctively judge by appearances—it's how we try to make sense of things. His call to action is to view those around us as potential allies, friends, or simply connections—there's always potential. Stuart notes we often forget we judge by appearances and reminds us that whether it's a person, animal, or ecosystem, the truly important things happen beneath the surface. William tries to see beyond the exterior. Stuart questions if we're honest about the image we present and sees widespread inauthenticity.William reframes the idea: to help others, we must work on knowing ourselves. There's nothing wrong with also gaining from giving. Stuart advises withholding judgment until we know the facts. What do you make of this discussion?

Floss from Gimli, Manitoba, Canada set the first of two listener questions in today's episode “Do either of you feel you have guardian angels?”Stuart and William come at Floss's question in two very unique ways, which reflects how different they are from each other.William refuses to believe in literal guardian angels, as he feels you need to believe in actual angels. He does however acknowledge how the presence of important people in his life could be like having a guardian angel.Stuart believes that he has certain people from his past "on his shoulder", informing his thinking, and that he has felt their physical presence at periods in his life. He feels that he has at least two guardian angels.Stuart puts an environmental spin on this question, with a question of his own: How can humans be guardian angels of planet Earth?The second listener question comes from Paula in Norfolk, England.“Anything currently annoying you with the use of modern language?”Off the back of Paula's question, Stuart shares his dislike for fashionable phrases that are essentially meaningless filler. William agrees. He has a particular dislike of the overuse of “bro” and "super". Both do acknowledge however that they might just be "old and cranky".The big takeaway from this discussion is that Stuart and William advocate for using a varied vocabulary and not to rely on the same words, repeatedly, and most importantly, for communication to be genuine. Listen to yourself and others, use varied vocabulary, fill sentences with value rather than filler words.What do you make of this discussion? Do you have a question that you'd like us to discuss?

Chris was called away on a years-long shipping voyage by a conniving relative, so he can't be with us today. In his stead, Mary returns! You may remember her from such episodes as this past October's The Phantom of Manhattan, 2021's Die Hamletmachine, and our now beloved E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial in His Adventure on Earth episode from 2023. We discuss our experience reading Fanny Hill by John Cleland, originally published in 1748 and since routinely banned as the first known published English-language erotica. Mary found a copy of this in a little free library years ago and since then, it has taken up permanent residence in her mind and she has talked about it off and on. I figured it'd be a fun one for the show since we, somehow, have yet to feature 18th century erotica on TBC. In addition to our usual barnyard language, today's episode includes coerced/trafficked sex work, graphic sex, and sexual assaults as this book is mid-18th century pornography.
