It’s hard to parse US corporate news coverage of the attacks on Iran if you aren’t willing to let go of the idea that might does not, in fact, make right—along with your ideas about what a better world could look like. That’s why we grow our critical faculties, and support media outlets that, whatever else they do, don’t tell us that the US and Israel killing Iranian children is just something to consume with your breakfast cereal.
Gregory Shupak is an academic and activist, as well as author of The Wrong Story: Palestine, Israel and the Media from OR Books. We talk with him about the US war on Iran.

The First Rock and Roll Song
Monday 12-3 AM
Other searches for the first rock and roll record purport to be educational but they're entertainment.

On this and every episode of Searching for the First Rock and Roll Song, Jamie DellApa presents all the music and musicians you've never heard all from the era when the rock and roll generation was self-defining. Because every simplistic dramatic explanation of your origination story isn't worthy of you or public radio's ideals.

AI can write code, diagnose diseases, design buildings, and create art.

Some argue that machines will become so efficient that they will one day replace most human labor. Others say AI will augment work, not erase it, and historically, people have feared innovation killing jobs, which arguably hasn't come to pass. Now we debate: Will AI Make Work Obsolete?
