Sam discusses the demise of Sora - the social media app Disney had previously planned to invest $1 billion USD before backing out; US Jury Verdicts against Meta and Google in the fight for mental health in children and social media; Delta Airlines being real CHADS and suspending perks for Congress members amid shutdown that is impacting TSA employees, and so much more! Meanwhile, our main topic is a discussion about photography, of all things. Gerald Joehri's poetic YT Video \"What We Lost When Cameras Got Better\" is more than just a breakdown of digital vs film modalities it turns out; it's a philosophic mantra for slowing down and using the tools we have the way they work best (our brains) amidst a world that demands speed amongst all else. Also, Zoo stories! All that and more this week.
