image reads: If 168 people, overwhelmingly little girls, were killed in a school bombing in Israel, there is little doubt it would have been plastered all over major newspapers, led nightly broadcasts, and been asked about on the Sunday News programs. But—as the over 20,000 dead Palestinian children killed by a US-backed, Israeli genocide in Gaza affirm—Muslim and Arab life is simply not important, their children’s deaths are simply factored in, they’re collateral damage in a noble War on Terror, a perhaps regrettable “claim” that’s always “being investigated” but never held to account, much less elevated to moral outrage or sustained media scandal. The box is checked, a reporter does a write-up, aspersions are cast with “Iranian state media” or “Hamas run health ministry” qualifiers, and everyone moves on. Just another faceless three-digit number of Muslim children extinguished from existence and relegated to A11 in the US and Israel’s seemingly endless Middle East “wars.”

it’s not every day you get to interview a legend, and the legend says he’s honored to meet a previously unknown skateboarder. Shaunda Shane has become an icon in her own right, and it was a joy to be part of her first meeting with Tony Hawk. this is a great one. please listen!

yes spotify is a scourge on the podcast industry but I can’t deny it’s cool for an episode of @slate.bsky.social’s ICYMI I guested on to show up on their best of culture list!
