Iran Strikes Israel’s Biggest Nuclear City
Israel and Iran have now struck each other’s nuclear-linked sites within the same 24-hour window.

Robert Sepehr - Legends of the White Gods
Multiple civilizations around the world have preserved remarkably consistent legends of fair-skinned, often bearded deities or culture heroes who arrived from the sea, taught agriculture, laws, architecture, writing and the arts, established order, and then departed with a promise to return.

Pete Tompkins (PTPop) - New Documentary: Disconnected: Voices from the Call Center
Mike and Pete discussed Pete's documentary "Disconnected Voices from the Call Center," which explores the harsh realities of working in call centers. Pete shared his personal experience working in call centers starting in the 1980s, describing the intense metrics and pressure that led to high attrition rates and severe mental stress on employees. They discussed how call centers evolved from relatively humane environments to modern "sweatshops" with strict monitoring and performance requirements. The conversation also covered how AI is increasingly being used to replace human call center workers, the decline of the music industry due to streaming and AI-generated content, and Pete's upcoming distribution of his documentary through Film Hub.
