The money keeps coming. Global spending on artificial intelligence is projected to hit $375 billion this year. In 2026, the figure is supposed to approach half a trillion dollars. The sums invested already are so staggering that the United States is beginning to look like an “Nvidia-state,” where the tech boom is fueling a great majority of economic growth. But lately, tech watchers have started to ask the obvious question: Is this boom in fact a bubble? We talk to the Atlantic staff writer Charlie Warzel about what might happen—to companies, to the economy, to ordinary Americans—if one day that bubble were to burst. Charlie covers tech and all the strange, unmooring things it does to culture. And he has a new Atlantic video podcast called Galaxy Brain launching this week. --- Get more from your favorite Atlantic voices when you subscribe.

Percival Everett has made a career out of exploring the nature of absurdity. You may have become aware of Everett in the last few years when his novel “Erasure” was adapted into the movie “American Fiction” in 2023, or when his book “James” won the Pulitzer prize last year. But Everett has written 24 novels since 1983 along with several books of poetry and short story collections, each of them tackling a different genre of writing and a different angle on nonsense, absurdity or irony. As he says, “to accept the absurdity of a situation is to accept the humanness of it.” We talk to Percival Everett in front of an audience of students at McDaniel High School in Portland.

In Rehab: An American Scandal (Simon and Schuster, 2025), Pulitzer finalist Shoshana Walter exposes the country's failed response to the opioid crisis, and the malfeasance, corruption, and snake oil which blight the drug rehabilitation industry. Our country's leaders all seem to agree: People who suffer from addiction need treatment. Today, more people have access to treatment than ever before. So why isn't it working? The answer is that in America—where anyone can get addicted—only certain people get a real chance to recover. Despite record numbers of overdose deaths, our default response is still to punish, while rehabs across the United States fail to incorporate scientifically proven strategies and exploit patients. We've heard a great deal about the opioid crisis foisted on America by Big Pharma, but we've heard too little about the other half of this epidemic—the reason why so many remain mired in addiction. Until now. In this book, you'll find the stories of four people who represent the failures of the rehab-industrial complex, and the ways our treatment system often prevents recovery. April is a black mom in Philadelphia, who witnessed firsthand how the government's punitive response to the crack epidemic impeded her own mother's recovery—and then her own. Chris, a young middle-class white man from Louisiana, received more opportunities in his addiction than April, including the chance to go to treatment instead of prison. Yet the only program the judge permitted was one that forced him to perform unpaid back-breaking labor at for-profit companies. Wendy is a mother from a wealthy suburb of Los Angeles, whose son died in a sober living home. She began investigating for-profit treatment programs—yet law enforcement and regulators routinely ignored her warnings, allowing rehab patients to die, again and again. Larry is a surgeon who himself struggled with addiction, who would eventually become one of the first Suboxone prescribers in the nation, drawing the scrutiny of the Drug Enforcement Administration. Together, these four stories illustrate the pitfalls of a system that not only fails to meet the needs of people with addiction, but actively benefits from maintaining their lower status. They also offer insight into how we might fix that system and save lives. More of Shoshana's work: - Her reporting on hospital drug testing - Her reporting on moms reported to child welfare authorities for taking medication-assisted treatment during pregnancy - The American Rehab podcast Emily Dufton is the author of Grass Roots: The Rise and Fall and Rise of Marijuana in America (Basic Books, 2017). Her new book, Addiction, Inc.: Medication-Assisted Treatment and America's Forgotten War on Drugs, will be released next year. Learn more about your ad choices.

Go ahead, Democrats. Enjoy your victory parties. But after that, brace yourselves, because Republicans may not be playing by the same rules a year from now. Since President Donald Trump took office for his second term—indeed, since his loss in 2020—he has shown his willingness to subvert the rules of free and fair elections. In various ways, he's used his power to intimidate potential opponents, Democratic donors, and even voters who might oppose him. We talk to the Atlantic staff writer David A. Graham about this week's election as a test run for 2026, the gerrymandering arms race, and future possible scenarios of election meddling.

The true story of America is that it was built on a caste system comparable to India's, says Pulitzer-prize-winning American journalist Isabel Wilkerson. The author argues that it's key to recognize the roots of the U.S. caste "structure" as she calls it, to understand why conflicts relating to race and class persist. Wilkerson delivered the 2025 Beatty Lecture at McGill University in Montreal.

Sinema kulübümüzün 24üncü buluşmasında, 2015 yılı yapımı "Spotlight" adlı filmi konuştuk. Tom McCarthy'nin yönettiği film, Mark Ruffalo, Michael Keaton, Rachel McAdams ve Liev Schreiber gibi güçlü bir oyuncu kadrosuna sahip.Film, Boston Globe gazetesinin araştırmacı gazetecilik ekibi Spotlight'ın, Katolik Kilisesi'nde yıllarca örtbas edilen çocuk istismarı skandalını ortaya çıkaran gerçek hikayesini anlatıyor. Bu çalışma, gazeteye 2003 yılında Pulitzer Ödülü kazandırmış. Film ise Akademi Ödülleri'nde En İyi Film ve En İyi Orijinal Senaryo dahil altı dalda aday olmuş, iki Oscar kazanmış.Bu filmi, Jonathan Haidt'in "Doğru Akıl" kitabını okurken izlemeyi seçmiştik; çünkü film, kitabın ele aldığı ahlaki değerlendirmelerdeki farklılıkları ve otorite ile kutsalın korunması adına sessiz kalmanın psikolojisini somut bir örnekle gözler önüne seriyor. Birçok arkadaşımız filmi rahatsız edici bulduğunu ama son derece önemli bir konuyu ele alışını beğendiklerini söylediler. Bu tür gerçek hikayelerin sinemaya aktarılması toplumda daha kalıcı etkiler bırakabiliyor. Bana da Erin Brokovich'i hatırlattı bir anlamda.Filmde Katolik Kilisesi'nde meydana gelen çocuk istismarı ele alınıyor ama her türlü otorite ve kutsal kabul edilen yapılarda istismarın farklı türleri ile karşılaşmanın mümkün olduğunu biliyoruz. Otoriteyi ve kutsalı koruma adına suçların nasıl örtbas edildiği, sessiz kalanların rolü, ve sistemin nasıl işbirliği içinde çalıştığı üzerine konuştuk. Özellikle gazeteciliğin önemi ve sorumluluğu üzerinde durduk. Filmin gösterdiği sabırlı, titiz araştırmacı gazetecilik yaklaşımı ve sistemli arşiv çalışmasını takdir ettik. Toplantıda ayrıca uzun yıllar sivil toplum alanında ve en son çocuk güvenliği uzmanı olarak çalışan arkadaşımız Selim Uysal bu alandaki tecrübelerinden edindiği izlenimleri ve tespitlerini paylaştı. Onları da dikkatinize sunmak istediğim için podcastin son kısmında yer verdim.Bu bölümde görüşlerine yer verebildiğim arkadaşlarım;(02:27) Ekin Akkol, (03:43) Feyza Demir, (07:13) Ebru Başaran, (09:04) Ebru Vural, (11:35) Uğur İyidoğan, (13:40) Feyza Demir, (16:25) Ebru Vural, (18:40) Ekin Akkol, (22:48) Feyza Demir ve (24:12) Selim UysalSupport the show

So far, the U.S. has blown up 14 boats in the Caribbean and the Pacific, killing at least 57 people. In the two months since the strikes began, the administration has consistently offered the same explanation: The U.S. has a fentanyl overdose problem, and these boats are a source of that drug. The federal government has stuck to that line despite the Drug Enforcement Administration and Department of Homeland Security saying most of the fentanyl brought into this country comes from Mexico, not through the Caribbean. Nancy Youssef covers national security for The Atlantic. She joins the show to discuss the strikes, the administration's changes to the military, and the lack of transparency in the transformed Pentagon.

On Tuesday, October 14, 2025 @thebigtentusa‬ convened a dynamic discussion on the forces reshaping American journalism—examining how business models, paywalls, and political influence affect the flow of information in today's media landscape. Featuring Daniella Ballou-Aares of Leadership Now Project and Heidi Przybyla of Get Real News, the conversation delved into the growing strain between democratic values and the financial and political pressures on news organizations. The speakers explored how reduced access to trusted reporting can fuel misinformation and why restoring public confidence in the media depends on transforming how journalism is supported and sustained. The panelists also pointed to signs of renewal across the industry, with independent outlets and emerging creators using social platforms, innovative funding models, and new technologies like AI to connect with audiences and strengthen the foundation of fact-based reporting. Learn more about Leadership Now Project: https://www.leadershipnowproject.org/ Learn More about Get Real News: https://www.getrealnews.org/ ABOUT THE SPEAKERS Daniella Ballou-Aares is Founder and CEO of the Leadership Now Project, a national membership organization of business and thought leaders committed to fixing American democracy.

In Kathryn Bigelow's new movie, A House of Dynamite, the clock is ticking. The film's fictional president of the United States has less than 20 minutes and very little information to decide whether or not to retaliate against a nuclear missile, launched at the United States, from an unknown source. As with Bigelow's other war movies, the story is disturbingly plausible. During the Cold War, the likely scenario was a war with the Soviet Union. Now there are nine nuclear powers, which makes the possibility of error, rogue actors, or a total information vacuum more likely. We talk with “A House of Dynamite” screenwriter Noah Oppenheim and Tom Nichols, a national-security writer at the Atlantic, who consulted on the movie.

This week on Sibling Rivalry, Bob and Monét go through the Rolling Stone Top 10 Songs of the 21st Century and debate whether the list is accurate or just rage bait. They ask when a song officially becomes an oldie, discuss Pulitzer-winning rappers, Beyoncé's essential tracks, and which Taylor Swift era Bob followed. Bob talks about his voice lessons while they get mixed up between The White Stripes and Whitesnake before naming their top five songs (for now). Plus, Bob reveals his all-time favorite diva, they discuss artists' secret albums, the makeup-in-bed dilemma, and which country is doing too much with kiss greetings.

Pulitzer-winner Caroline Fraser maps the lives and crimes of Ted Bundy and his infamous peers—the Green River Killer, the I-5 Killer, the Night Stalker, the Hillside Strangler, and even Charles Manson—and explores an intriguing hypothesis: might environmental factors have played a role in the rise of serial killers in the 1970s and '80s? Caroline Fraser is the author of Prairie Fires: The American Dreams of Laura Ingalls Wilder, which won the Pulitzer Prize. She is also the author of God's Perfect Child: Living and Dying in the Christian Science Church, and her writing has appeared in The New York Review of Books, The New Yorker, The Atlantic, Los Angeles Times, and London Review of Books, among other publications. Her new book is Murderland: Crime and Bloodlust in the Time of Serial Killers.

“I deserved whatever the opposite of a Pulitzer is.”Phil Elwood is the author of All the Worst Humans, a confessional memoir from the dubious world of public relations.As a PR operative.

In this week's episode, we are speaking with Deborah Blum, environmental journalist, Pulitzer-prize winning science writer and science columnist. Let me explain why we have asked Deborah to join us. In 1962, American marine biologist, science writer, and conservationist Rachel Carson writes a pivotal book in our history, titled Silent Spring, which skillfully lays out the very real life scenario of how and where poisonous chemicals and controls, like DDT, were created and distributed by the US government in hand with major chemical companies and were used in agricultural fields, orchards, and private homeowners.What consumers didn't know at the time was that chemicals like DDT were doing immeasurable and great harm to animals, ecosystems, and humans. We have asked Deborah Blum to speak with us about Rachel Carson because of Blum's extensive qualifications as a science writer, and for the fact that she only just recently retired as the Director of the Knight Science Journalism program at MIT, and has specialised in toxicology for the last 15 years, writing about poisons and pesticides in our everyday lives.Time Stamps:Intro: 00:15Interview: 9:40TA: 55:50Show Notes:⁠https://deborahblum.com/⁠PBS with Blum featured⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeJNRaE11A0⁠A short film on Rachel Carson⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezVEzCmiXM4⁠

The Riyadh Comedy Festival in Saudi Arabia concludes this week, but the outrage (from comedians who didn't go) and self-justification (from comedians who did) continues. The festival is one small piece of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's grand vision to remake the kingdom for the 21st century and simultaneously draw global attention away from human-rights violations like the 2018 murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. In this episode, we talk to the Atlantic staff writers Vivian Salama and Helen Lewis about what happened at the festival and how to understand Saudi Arabia's push for modernization.  Get more from your favorite Atlantic voices when you subscribe.

Episode SummaryIn this inspiring episode of Hospitality Meets, I sit down with Billy Skelli-Cohen, CEO of Beaumier Hotels, a boutique group with 11 stunning properties across France, Switzerland, and Ibiza.Billy's story is not your standard hospitality tale. In fact, he jokes that he's “a bit of a fraud” because he's never actually worked in a hotel. From starting out in retail, to private equity, to leading some of Europe's most iconic hotel projects, Billy's journey is proof that there's no single path to the top in hospitality.Expect stories of bold ideas that paid off (a bike repair kit that became a PR sensation), bold mistakes (thinking Europe's playbook would work in the US), and why listening twice as much as you talk might just be the best leadership hack out there (Must learn this, Phil)Key TakeawaysEmployee Experience First – “It's impossible to deliver great guest experiences without first delivering great employee experiences.”Boldness Pays Off – Sometimes the smallest left-field ideas (like a Dutch bike kit in a hotel room) create the biggest impact.Culture Matters – What works in one country doesn't always work in another; leadership is an art, not a science.Stay Curious – Great leaders ask questions, observe, and never stop learning.People > Projects – The proudest achievements aren't hotels or awards, but watching people around you grow and flourish.Memorable Quotes“Hotels are never finished. There's always something to improve, evolve, or reimagine.”“It's impossible to provide good guest experience without a good employee experience first.”“I'm not afraid to say I now only want to work with people who are smarter than me.”“Sometimes the small, silly ideas end up becoming the PR story everyone talks about.”“I don't look back too much. I don't look too far ahead either. I try to stay in the present.”Final ThoughtsBilly's journey is a reminder that hospitality isn't just about hotels, it's about people, culture, and curiosity. From repositioning icons like The Pulitzer in Amsterdam to building soulful luxury hotels in magical destinations, his leadership shows that staying bold, present, and people-first is the real key to growth.Show PartnersA big shout out to Today's show partner, RotaCloud, the people management platform for shift-based teams.RotaCloud lets managers create and share rotas, record attendance, and manage annual leave in minutes — all from a single, web-based app.It makes work simple for your team, too, allowing them to check their rotas, request holiday, and even pick up extra shifts straight from their phones.Try RotaCloud's time-saving tools today by heading to https://rotacloud.com/philThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy

Karen Elliott House was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for international reporting for her coverage of the Middle East. Arguably, she knows more about the region, and Saudi Arabia in particular, than any other active journalist or author.  For her latest book, Why Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Matters to the World, Karen conducted more than half a dozen in-depth interviews with the 40-year-old Saudi Crown Prince, known universally as “MBS.” For global business owners and executives, the dramatic Saudi transformation over the past decade, spearheaded by MBS, presents both promise and peril: vast opportunities for investment and growth but also political and legal risks that demand careful navigation. The pace of change under MBS has astonished even veteran observers like Karen, who has traveled to the kingdom more than 45 times since the late 1970s. Today, Saudi women can drive, hold jobs across industries, and participate openly in public life. Entertainment venues — from concerts to theme parks — are thriving. Restaurants that once erected wooden partitions to shield women from the public now bustle with mixed crowds. Karen compares his confidence and determination to that of Jack Welch at General Electric or Lee Kuan Yew, a founding father of modern Singapore. Like them, MBS is willing to make unpopular decisions in pursuit of national transformation. Whether his reforms endure, she cautions, depends on two factors: keeping the economy growing and avoiding foreign policy missteps that could unite his enemies. With a half-century potentially ahead of him as the next Saudi King, Mohammed bin Salman will be an unavoidable force in global politics and business. As Karen puts it, Americans must move beyond old stereotypes and reckon with the kingdom as it is — complex, evolving, and essential.

Yesterday, Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show was suspended indefinitely. It's a shocking moment for free speech, given the order in which events unfolded. Earlier that day, FCC Chair Brendan Carr had suggested on a conservative podcast that ABC and its affiliates consider taking steps against Kimmel, saying, “We can do this the easy way or the hard way.” As it so happened, the late-night legend David Letterman was scheduled to speak at The Atlantic Festival the next day. Letterman and The Atlantic's editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, sat down for an impromptu interview about the news. --- Get more from your favorite Atlantic voices when you subscribe.

This segment unpacks the potent intersection of queer identity, HIV stigma, and religious condemnation through a Pulitzer-winning musical. We explore how faith-based shame and societal neglect, especially during the AIDS crisis, weaponized pain against the LGBTQ+ community, leading to immeasurable loss and continued fear, even with life-saving medications. It's a stark reminder that bigotry costs lives, and that societal acceptance still lags behind medical progress, particularly for marginalized groups. When "morality" dictates who deserves care, humanity truly suffers.News Source: Black Gay Playwright Michael R. Jackson Talks HIV Stigma, PrEP, and the Tyler Perry Film Inside His Strange Loop By Darian Aaron for GLAAD August 13, 2025 

American public education is changing. And, in many ways, Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters is at the center of it, trying to push for Bibles in schools, new curriculum standards that include dozens of references to Christianity, and an ideology test for teachers coming from “places like California and New York.” One Oklahoma teacher finds herself at direct odds with Walters and the Department of Education. And a pair of Walters's former students no longer recognize the teacher they once loved.

As Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. works to dismantle the national vaccine infrastructure, states have started going their own way. Governors in California, Washington State, and Oregon said they intend to coordinate on vaccine policies. Florida's surgeon general went in the opposite direction, announcing a plan to end all state vaccine mandates, which he compared to “slavery.” We talk to the Atlantic science writer Katie Wu about how Kennedy's decisions are affecting the vaccine pipeline and how difficult it will be to rebuild. We also talk about what you, the patient, should do in an atmosphere where the federal government, long the authority on vaccines, is no longer reliable.
