Part 1:We talk with Nitish Pahwa, Staff writer at Slate.We discuss what has been happening at the National Parks. Douglas Burgum, the Interior Secretary, has allocated all authority to the Acting Assistant Secretary, Tyler Hassan. Hassan is a DOGE member. There have been massive layoffs of park rangers, and funding for parks has decreased. This is having an economic impact. Mining rights are being considered. The parks had a gain of $30 B in 2024, at a cost of $5 B.Part 2:We talk with Jonathan Feingold, who is an associate professor of law at Boston University School of Law.#RaceClass Ep. 40 | Dont Praise Harvard, At Least Not YetLast week, Harvard University started fighting back against Trump. In this episode of #RaceClass, Jon and Arnie discuss why immediate praise for Harvard is premature. To deserve our praise, Harvard needs to do more than defend itself. It needs to leverage its near $60 billion endowment to defend all universities against unlawful federal interference. Harvard need not do it alone. Following the lead of thousands of university professors across the country, Harvard should create a mutual defense pact that unites all of our campuses to protect our fundamental right to free and open inquiry free from intimidation, harassment or discipline. Moreover, Harvard needs to practice what it preaches and cultivate free and open inquiry on its campus. A start would include revising its anti-harassment policies by rejecting the IHRA definition of antisemitism and clarifying that speech criticizing Israel, Zionism or antizionism is legitimate discourse that does not itself constitute antisemitism.Music: Leanard Cohen, "Halleluja"WNHNGM.ORG PRODUCTION

Candice Lim is joined by Slate business and tech writer Nitish Pahwa and internet culture writer Steffi Cao to debate, defend, and decide how they're going to face the internet this year. Each brought a personal query they're on the fence about, and the remaining panelists will argue both sides before coming to a verdict. For example, should we join Bluesky? How can we resist the urge to fact-check our friends in their Instagram comments? And is it time to delete our texts? But first, they're debating: does the internet care about analog awards shows, such as the Golden Globes? This podcast is produced by Alexandra Botti, Daisy Rosario, and Candice Lim.

On election night, while many voters across the country were focused on who would win the presidency, a growing number of Americans were watching the returns with another question in mind: will I win or lose money? That's because, just weeks before November 5th, a judge ruled that for the first time in almost a century Americans could bet large amounts of money on the outcome of political races. In this episode, we talk to two people who made big bets: Mike, a Latino Democrat who bet $10,000 on Kamala Harris winning, and Jordan, a white conservative Trump supporter who risked $60,000 on Trump's victory. And Slate's business and tech reporter Nitish Pahwa helps Anna understand the changing legal context for gambling in America. Read Slate's Nitish Pahwa's post on prediction markets and politics here.

On election night, while many voters across the country were focused on who would win the presidency, a growing number of Americans were watching the returns with another question in mind: will I win or lose money? That's because, just weeks before November 5th, a judge ruled that for the first time in almost a century Americans could bet large amounts of money on the outcome of political races. In this episode, we talk to two people who made big bets: Mike, a Latino Democrat who bet $10,000 on Kamala Harris winning, and Jordan, a white conservative Trump supporter who risked $60,000 on Trump's victory. And Slate's business and tech reporter Nitish Pahwa helps Anna understand the changing legal context for gambling in America. Read Slate's Nitish Pahwa's post on prediction markets and politics here.

Ad Disclosure in Podcast Description: A Bond Account is a self-directed brokerage account with Public Investing, member FINRA/SIPC. Deposits into this account are used to purchase 10 investment-grade and high-yield bonds. As of 9/26/24, the average, annualized yield to worst (YTW) across the Bond Account is greater than 6%. A bond's yield is a function of its market price, which can fluctuate; therefore, a bond's YTW is not “locked in” until the bond is purchased, and your yield at time of purchase may be different from the yield shown here. The “locked in” YTW is not guaranteed; you may receive less than the YTW of the bonds in the Bond Account if you sell any of the bonds before maturity or if the issuer defaults on the bond. Public Investing charges a markup on each bond trade. See our Fee Schedule. Bond Accounts are not recommendations of individual bonds or default allocations. The bonds in the Bond Account have not been selected based on your needs or risk profile. See https://public.com/disclosures/bond-account to learn more. Learn more about your ad choices.

Pahwa interviewed Guy back in 2023, and he returns to ICYMI to talk about Guy's persona on the phone vs. online, and how the menswear pundit capitalized on becoming the Twitter guy we love to hate.

On this week's show, the hosts begin by reviewing one of Netflix's hottest movies at the moment, Rebel Ridge. Written and directed by Jeremy Saulnier, Rebel Ridge is a revenge thriller that tackles the very real issue of civil asset forfeiture. And while the film's cleverness is up for debate, the panel agrees on one thing: the star of Rebel Ridge, Aaron Pierre, is fantastic (“each of his eyes deserves a special Oscar nod,” describes Steve.) Then, the trio explores His Three Daughters, a tear-jerking death-watch drama that follows three estranged sisters trapped in a claustrophobic New York City apartment. The film is written and directed by Azazel Jacobs and stars Natasha Lyonne, Elizabeth Olsen, and Carrie Coon. Finally, musician and Friend of the Pod Franz Nicolay joins to discuss his new book, Band People: Life and Work in Popular Music. In the exclusive Slate Plus bonus episode, the panel is joined by Slate staff writer Nitish Pahwa to discuss the fate of the Internet Archive and controlled digital lending. Email us at culturefest@slate.com. Endorsements: Dana: Inspired by today's Plus conversation, Dana endorses the Media History Digital Library, “a conservation and access project for historical printed materials related to cinema, broadcasting and recorded sound,” hosted on the Internet Archive. Julia: An actually good protein bar: Papa Steve's No Junk Protein Bar. Steve: Colm Tóibín's essay on James Baldwin for The New York Review, “The Pitch of Passion.” Podcast production by Jared Downing. Production assistance by Kat Hong. Learn more about your ad choices.

Candice Lim is joined by Slate business and tech writer Nitish Pahwa to break down two stories surrounding artificial intelligence in fashion and advertising. They explore Baggu's recent collaboration with Collina Strada, which used an A.I. tool in their designs and possibly went against both brands' commitment to sustainability. Then, they discuss the internet's reaction to a bad Toys R Us commercial that was made almost entirely with A.I. software. But first, why was Twitter riled up over a Michael Mann movie?
