This week saw the death of Ruth Bader Ginsberg and immediate controversy about who will replace her on the United States' Supreme Court, as the Democrats invent reasons to stall the process. The panellists reflect on the career of a remarkable advocate and jurist, and examine how the Republican push in the Senate to confirm a Trump nomination as replacement will affect the election. If even Mitt Romney wants to do it, what's stopping them? (2:12-35:50). Likewise, Australia's High Court also has some looming vacancies, due to the 72-year age of ‘statutory senility' enforced on Justices of the High Court, with Justice Nettle soon to step down. Why aren't Australians more interested in the choice of replacement shortly to be made by the Morrison Government, and – in light of controversial decisions such as Love/Thoms - do we need more scrutiny of the process for nomination? (35:50-56:32). Culture picks this week include BGG cold war board game, Twilight Struggle; Elena Ferrante's novel, Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay; and Taylor Sheridan and John Linson's TV series, Yellowstone season 3 (56:41-1:08:02).

Today I sit down and examine the systemic trait in Mormonism to label those who leave as broken, less than, bad, or deceived in some way. In Mormonism when a believer stops believing we creates stories about that person. 1.) They were lazy 2.) They lacked faith 3.) They wanted to Sin 4.)

Finally a cartoon that Jane can get behind! Feel the girl-power this week when we talk about She-Ra and the Princesses of Power!In this episode we chat about queer coding and the slow inclusion of canonically queer characters in animated media, and the benefits of a diverse, well-rounded ensemble. Jane also tries to work out whether the common cartoon simplifications (exposition and villain motivations) are bugs or features of the format.

We haven't gotten quite as much knitting and crocheting as we would have liked. Vivian has been hanging about at home with 2 of 4 daughters and Alyson's has been ignoring everything except her current read, Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay by Elena Ferrante. But we're revisiting lots of projects you might already be familiar with. Alyson's blanket and Blurre shawl, and Vivian's Bubbly sweater and Korra hat. Thanks for tuning in!

When the temperature and timing are right, some reading experiences can feel like fever dreams; narrative immersions that keep you up late into the night and transport you across oceans and decades.

Duon diskuterar härskarteknik hos journalister och huruvida en feminist får kritisera kvinnligt könskodade genrer. Ska deckar- och romancehuvudpersoner förbli endimenstionella? Är Claudio Gatti ett journalistproffs efter jakten på Ferrrante, eller bara en douchebag? Och varför fattar vi människor så otroligt korkade beslut? Öhmans mustiga val i veckan inkluderar köttsex i The Vegetarian av Han Kang och genusperpektiv i barnböcker av Helena Willis. Jihde har gått till sängs med ekonomiprofessorn Richard Thalers tegelsten Beslut och beteenden, samt Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay, den tredje delen i neapelsviten av Elena Ferrante.
