Journos ”What Is Consciousness?” with Janet VarneyWe're introducing a new feature here on JOURNOS: a sort of journalism detective agency. You've got a question, we do journalism on it and find the answer. (I should say that the term "do journalism on it" has had a mixed reception.) Our first question comes from friend and guinea pig of the show, Janet Varney, who asks a pretty simple little question: "What is consciousness?" Brandon & Stephen hunted far and wide and interviewed a couple of experts about theories of consciousness, the hard and soft problems, whether you can communicate with people...

Stephen's big talk about pant legs gets Brandon thinking about a Washington Post story on rat-hunting that reads like a newspaper version of a snuff film ... only with rats. What's with WaPo's obsession with the city's rats? Our sleuths dig into the last few years of coverage to sort out whether the city's paper of record really really loves rats, or really really hates them. (Seems like a cross-species frenemy situation.) All this talk of invasion inspires Stephen to ruminate on Mexico's space alien problem. T...

From there we get territorial on two country songs that are topping the charts of the culture war: Jason Aldean's "Try That in a Small Town" and Oliver Anthony's "Rich Men North of Richmond." Both songs are big conservative talking points, but while Aldean's traffics in big-city stereotypes, Anthony's is a folky class commentary, even if its policy positions are a lit...

But those days are long over, and now the closest to a mythology we moderns have is celebrities — those magical sprites that materialize in a puff of self-regard and vanish in a flash of cameras. It's not Grimm, but it is grim. The Great American Fairy Tale added a new chapter recently when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were involved in a post-gala paparazzi pursuit that the royals' PR called "near catastrophic." Since nothing seemed to have happened, it suggests that just being in the ne...

He has also written and broadcast extensively about the central role of masculinity and gender in shaping political debates in the United States. With politics ever more polarised, authoritarianism and political violence – especially towards women – are becoming increasingly normalised, and figures such as Donald Trump and conservative media outlets are playing into patriarchal definitions of manhood and the family to appeal to the public.Jackson is an educator, author, lecturer, and social theorist.

Not a "man bites dog" story, but an even more ancient piece of news: "dog bites man." We consider a story about how, when dogs attack mail carriers, sometimes whole neighborhoods lose delivery service. It seems that, indeed, everything must be made into news eventually.

Every Hornets Boxscore Podcast November 20th, 2010: Stack Jack Triple Double, Stephen Jackson leads a troubled Bobcats teamDate: November 20, 2010. Era: The Death of the Bobcats (2010-2016). Season/Game: 2010-11, Charlotte Bobcats vs Phoenix SunsThe 2010-11 Charlotte Bobcats season was full of promise off a playoff appearance. The team finally had some talent. Stephen Jackson was a pure scorer with attitude. Gerald Wallace was an All-Star caliber defensive stopper and rim runner. Boris Diaw was motivated and clear-eyed about his role. We look at a game before it all went disastrously wrong for Larry Brown and the team. David A. Arnott, founder of Rufus On Fire gives us more insight into what Stephen Jackson...

Journos Defacing the Mona Lisa and DALL•E’s Horrifying Netherworld of AI-Driven ArtWhat makes life worth living? What kind of cake does the Mona Lisa prefer? What does a chair made of avocados look like? Art, in its many forms, seeks to answer all of the above. And for years, humans have enjoyed a near monopoly on creating it. But things are changing — and fast. Here, we take a look at people, our penchant for environmental destruction, and our even stronger proclivity for creating technology that may one day wipe us from the face of the earth — but not before creating next year’s fall lineup on Netflix. First...

Journos What Happens in Your Face, Stays in Your FaceProving that all the good science has already been found out and all that's left is the weird, gross stuff, Brandon & Stephen return from hiatus to tackle the recent discovery of a mite that lives on our face, where it has sex, and where it's gotten so good at having sex on our face that it doesn't know how to live independently anymore. At a time when even humans have a hard time believing in other humans, it's somewhat heartwarming to know these little guys are going all-in on our species. Ride and/or die! ...

Journos Kinky Dolphins, Bodies in Barrels, and Seeing What We Want to SeeWe begin with a mystery: What does it mean when a pair of sexually aroused river dolphins engage in rough play with an anaconda? Science has no definitive answers, but the media — from Business Insider to The New York Times to BroBible — will happily cover the confusion. So begins an exploration into pareidolia, that cognitive quirk where we see faces in all kinds of stuff, and "find" patterns of meaning in just about everything else. In this episode, Brandon & Stephen ask whether pareidolia applies to how we read (and produce) the news, too. Is t...

Journos A Visit to Elon Musk’s New Mall of AmericaElon bought Twitter. (You may have heard.) The analysis, hand-wringing, and general worrywart-ery about how bad it might be for media has been great for media, giving journalists and pundits lots to fill up pages and airtime. And to tweet about, of course. It's a lot to take in, but for us, it helps to think about the whole thing as a visit to a mall in a state of flux. What will happen to the sunglasses kiosks? Or the fountain where everyone chit-chats? And will an attempted government overthrow begin in the Orange Julius? ...

Journos Can We Still Trust Science When it’s Calling Black Holes ”Hairy”?Some conflict in this episode: Brandon wants to talk about a new study that suggests black holes have quantum "hair" and Stephen wants to at least take a moment to discuss why the great minds behind the science didn't think a little harder about the branding of their hypothesis. Chortling aside, the hairy black hole story is interesting to us for a few reasons. One is that, if correct, the hypothesis would resolve a contradiction at the heart of modern science — which involves whether or not anything can really escape the gravity of a black hole. ...

Journos Bugs in the System: Cancer-Sniffing Worms, Hackers, and the New Cold WarStephen said this episode was about "diagnostics," but no one's going to listen to an episode about "diagnostics." Even a diagnostician is going to pass on a diagnostics episode in favor of some vintage white-lady killings on "My Favorite Murder." So! This episode is all about things infiltrating systems, which is much more interesting. Check it -- scientists discovered that the ever-useful C. elegans roundworm, a research favorite, is naturally attracted to the smell of lung cancer. What did we ever do to deserve such a great little fella? Also -- let's talk ab...

Journos Would You Become a Yacht Pirate for Ukraine?Well, would you? You don’t have to decide now, but be aware that lawmakers in Texas have introduced legislation to bring back privateering in order to empower citizens to seize the yachts of Russian oligarchs docked in American harbors. Ahoy. In this episode, Brandon and Stephen take a look at forms of protest and resistance in solidarity with and defense of Ukraine. First up is Marina Ovsyannikova, the woman who poached the state-run Russian airwaves with a message for her country’s people: “Don’t believe propaganda. They’re lying to you here.” Brandon then takes a l...

Mattie Jackson Selecman. On this episode of Stuck to Unstoppable, Mattie Jackson Selecman walks us through her journey of learning to trust in a Sovereign God while walking through the grief of an unexpected tragedy. She offers her experiences with dealing with grief one day at a time; "surrendering" becoming her motto; and the presence of joy and celebrating the small things in life, just to name a few!

Journos What Shipwrecks Can Teach Us About Hot Cars, Fast Ice, and Human ProgressBrandon's on vacation ... a cruise, actually! Which some people might consider work, but after a few dozen piña of coladas, he's feeling philosophical... ... And that's right when Stephen tracks him down to talk about, what else?, shipwrecks, because they're topical and because Stephen isn't reading the room. Still, it was interesting to talk about the Felicity Ace, that Portuguese ship carrying luxury cars that caught fire and had to be abandoned. Particularly, the viral rumor that all those Porsches and Bentleys were now up for grabs because something something law of the sea, which is not a...

Journos What Jesus’ Foreskin Foretold About the Skincare IndustryAmong the tiny relics dotting the timeline of Christian history, few items pack a bigger punch than the holy prepuce. For the uninitiated, that’s fancy-talk for Jesus’ foreskin, and the provenance and authenticity of numerous specimens purported to be the one-and-only bit of flesh have been questioned for years. That’s just the tip of the proverbial iceberg in this episode, as Brandon and Stephen pull back the layers of the holy prepuce to reveal that it may have, if nothing else, the ability to knock a few years off the penance of a wayward Italian from ti...

Journos Earworms of Mass DestructionHow should we feel about city officials blasting pop songs to disperse protesters? Better than tear gas, but more disturbing that they're trying to weaponize our precious "Macarena?" Big Brother's DJs were in effect in Wellington, New Zealand's capital — where protesters, inspired by Canada's own anti-vax demonstrations, took to the streets. The Wellington authorities' response? Barry Manilow, "Baby Shark," and even some James Blunt (at his request). We decided to look at why weaponizing music is such a popular pastime for governments trying to assert control over public dissent ... or to break suspected terrorists. T...

Journos Let’s Talk About Why That Adorable Jim from ”The Office” Is Spying on UsIn this episode, we start by reflecting on the mystery that is "Gazpacho Police." It's either a flub by Marjorie Taylor Greene, or the stunning reveal that the US Capitol Police's jurisdiction includes soups. Mistake or political ploy, it gave the news media something to freak out about, and the Right something new to fundraise around, probably. But we're not here to talk about cold starter dishes. The MTG outburst reminded Brandon and Stephen that the government may indeed be spying on us, as was confirmed by the reveal that the CIA is indeed still spying on u...

Journos A No-Fly List for Jerks, Sex Jets, and Other Mysteries of Modern Air TravelWe've talked about Cucumber Time before: that "silly season" in summer and late in the year when the media decides not much is happening (all evidence to the contrary) and crams its news hole with frivolity. A species of Cucumber Time is on us again: this one we call Horny Time, when outlets scramble to find stories about love and lust to fluff us up for Valentine's Day. NYT served us up a moist one about a Las Vegas airplane charter biz that rolls out the satin pillows for customers to join the Mile High Club. It'll...

Journos Spoiler Alerts! Wordle, Chinese Censorship, and the Zen of Knowing the End in AdvanceWe talked about memes as "mind viruses" a few episodes ago, but boy, "Let's Go Brandon" got nothing on Wordle. The daily word game has become America's newest pandemic, so it was only a matter of time before someone figured out a way to spoil everything on Twitter. So, we got to thinking about "spoilers." That led us to ideas about "controlling the narrative," which has taken some interesting forms lately: China changing the ending of "Fight Club" and other movies to make sure the state always wins American thickneck John Cena calling Taiwan a country...

Journos The Great Los Angeles Train KerfuffleWhen the media gets a good story about a TRAIN ROBBERY, why, it's a special kind of glee. Headlines may read things like “Thieves loot freight trains in Los Angeles with impunity” but beneath the newsy professionalism is a childlike desire to write what reporters really feel about trains, crime, & policing: "Choo-Choo's Boo-Boos Are No-Nos for the Po-Po" In other words, some simple-ass storytelling, y'all. Never fear, because our two intrepid news hoboes, Brandon & Stephen, dodge the bulls to hop aboard the story of these freight-train robberies in Los Angeles. Oh the boxes! So m...

The Weekly Reload Podcast Matt Stoller Argues Industry Consolidation Contributes to the Ammo Price SurgeOn this episode, Director of Research at the American Economic Liberties Project Matt Stoller joins the show to talk about the ongoing ammo shortage and the resulting price hikes we've all been experiencing lately. Stoller recently wrote a widely-circulated piece on his Substack arguing the market dominance of Vista Outdoors and Olin Corporation contribute to the supply problems and price hikes. Those companies own many of the most popular ammo brands including Federal, American Eagle, CCI, Winchester, and Remington. Stoller says the companies use consolidation, such as Vista's recent purchase of Remington's ammo business, to better control...

Journos Piñatas and Two-Steppin’: Companies Dodge Responsibility, FestivelyWhen you do something wrong, what's your move? To accept responsibility, or to create a dirty little simulacrum who takes the blame while you cavort? If you're an American company, you might go with the Mini-Me approach. Today, we're telling two tales of bankruptcy. In the first, Cyber Ninjas is shutting down. They couldn't assassinate the will of the voters in Arizona, so they are attempting to vanish into the night, having at least pushed The Big Lie of voter fraud a little further toward this year's midterm elections.

Journos 12 Days of JOURNOS, Day 12: Should Society Invest in Brains or Farts?On the Twelfth and Final Day of the 12 Days of JOURNOS, Brandon and Stephen reluctantly cover the story about the reality TV star who sells her own farts. Sigh. Not surprisingly, said farts are also available as NFTs. Double sigh. All this gets them thinking about the need to invest in the collective brainpower of humanity, which has apparently dropped to an all time low. It’s time to “buy the dip” and prevent any future “fartrepreneurs” from poisoning the well of civilization any further. How? The folks over at The Brookings Institute have an idea: The Wh...

Brandon & Stephen walk through the rise and fall of Theranos, while newly minted Friend-of-Show Elizabeth looks on the bright side, including croquet with "Mad Dog" Mattis, joining a very exclusive crime club with Martha Stewart, and selling NFTs of herself making ... noises. All this NFT talk gets us thinking about the strange world of tech investment. What's really the difference...

Journos 12 Days of JOURNOS, Day 10: Let’s Count to a TrillionOn the Tenth Day of JOURNOS, we’re talkin’ turkey about tech stocks, big bucks, and the jobs of tomorrow. You may have heard that Apple just received the first $3 trillion valuation in history. But you’ve certainly never seen anyone count to a trillion. Why? Would take too long, obv. Nevertheless, in an effort to demystify this astronomical price tag, Stephen walks us through a few somewhat more tangible examples to help us wrap our brains around the company’s mind-boggling market cap. Brandon then brings us down to earth with a run down of the most sough...

Journos 12 Days of JOURNOS, Day Nine: Bugs, Blood & Other Future Menu ItemsOn the Ninth Day of JOURNOS, we remind ourselves that the year 2022 was first popularized in 1973 by the film Soylent Green. That vision of the future of cuisine gets Brandon & Stephen talking about other plans for how and what to feed people that isn't made of people. Turns out one option is ... soylent, the food-replacement drink with the recommended daily allowance of misplaced irony. But for reals, the near-future of food is wild: vertical farming, urban shrimp, upcycled coffee, plus algae, kelp, more kelp, heme, and, of course, insects ... so many insects. If the taste f...

Journos 12 Days of JOURNOS, Day Eight: The Color Conspiracy of 2022On the Eighth Day of JOURNOS, we unpack Brandon's first conspiracy: the secret marketing machinations that produce the Color of the Year. This year, a hitch: most of the colors were basically the same riff on greenish-gray. With this crack in the facade, Stephen & Brandon discuss the terrible power of the true palette-masters over at the Pantone Color Institute, which exercises considerable sway over the design and marketing choices of all sorts of brands. Pantone's Color of the Year? A sick purp called "Very Peri!" Pantone's choice, as well as all those near-identical green-grays, was inspired this...

Journos 12 Days of JOURNOS, Day Seven: Nature, ah, Finds a WayOn the Seventh Day of JOURNOS, fish rain down from the heavens into Texarkana, Texas. A Biblical tale rendered unto the news by a blessed waterspout, and a fitting end to a year of nature's oddities. As the fishy heavens open up, we open an umbrella and do some updates to our episode on space, sea, and desert. Even though I reported on the issues with solar-energy development in the Mojave Desert, the Biden administration still opened up more desert land to those panel-lovin' freaks. The news covered the politics of the Joes Biden and Manchin, and B...

Journos 12 Days of JOURNOS, Day Five: The Mental-Health OlympicsOn the Fifth Day of JOURNOS, we sprint, dive, and slalom into the 2020 Summer Olympic Games, held in summer of 2021. We glory at the spectacle of so many controversies, from bribery and shameful resignations to a stadium sourced from endangered rainforests and the traditional procession of vomiting Australians that ends every Olympiad. We linger voyeuristically at that other tradition: how Olympians are going to screw each other. This time around, it was complicated by cardboard no-sex beds, a utopian vision of corrugated-cardboard idealism from the 1960s that like everything these days was infected by disinformation. Th...

Journos 12 Days of JOURNOS, Day Four: Is Clickbait Bad?On the Fourth Day of Journos we check in on a Denver Area bear that, back in July, got a bucket stuck on its head. The incident made national news, and it wasn’t the only such story involving a rascally Ursus and a bucket that the media picked up in 2021. Needless to say, the bear/bucket saga was far from the most pressing issue that day. That’s right, we’re taking a look at clickbait and why we can’t stop falling for it. Stephen looks into the psychology of it all, while Brandon pulls a few cho...

Journos 12 Days of JOURNOS, Day Three: Get on the Influencer BusOn the Third Day of JOURNOS, Brandon tells the story of three women who met over the social medium of a cheating boyfriend, bought an old school bus, and went on a road trip across the US, scattering feel-good news stories across this great nation and then creating their own content like a bunch of Johnny Appleseeds of the Influencer Economy. Beating back our cynicism, we ask whether this is an earnest voyage of discovery, or just a good opportunity to generate some Intellectual Property, addressing thorny questions of how it's any different than travel writing of...

Journos 12 Days of JOURNOS, Day Two: The Great Rooster Virility CrisisOn the Second Day of JOURNOS, Stephen sinks his teeth into a juicy story: What happened to the chicken tenders? Is there really a shortage, or is it just a case of price fluctuations leading to crispy, clickable headlines? Stephen watches with cool amusement as a poorly sourced TODAY story inspires a sampling of imitators, and the occasional sales pitch. It's a game of Southern-fried telephone that leaves out essential ingredients like drought and climate change. Meanwhile, Brandon recalls the flurry of stories in which chicken shortages were blamed on roosters not being cock enough t...

Journos 12 Days of JOURNOS, Day One: Oh a Sarcasm Detector I’m So SureWe kick off "The 12 Days of JOURNOS," a collection of weird stories we loved but didn't get to, and follow-ups to those stories we did. It's short tales told through a phone call or two. On the First Day of JOURNOS, Brandon interrupts Stephen's "Irish Goodnight" with the story of a sarcasm detector funded by the US government's DARPA. The goal? To scientifically determine if that dude on Twitter *really* thinks we're "so f*ckin funny" or if it's all a put-on. We discuss the puzzles and pitfalls of one of humanity's greatest inventions — language it...

Brandon walks us through Saudi Arabia's NEOM, Marc Lore's Telosa, and a big ole boat for billionaires to escape pandemics and poverty, plus some failed utopian projects of yore. Meanwhile, Stephen obsesses over slime molds, finds out his dream home is actually an 18th-century prison, and frets over the duo's job prospects after the apocalypse.

Mindfulness resolution project Mr. Stephen's path to a life of service, bio by Alberto, interview by Alberto and OliviaOne usually does not see prison as something positive; however, Mr. Stephen describes incarceration as "a path" to success, realizing early on that if he "stayed the course," he would be "reaping the benefit of that investment." The child of a single mother, he had love, good grades, and the freedom to make his own choices; however, he also questioned authority and sought the deeper meaning of life. Mr. Stephen "became disinterested in school….[he developed] an intrinsic conscientious objection to what was being taught to [him]."
