Ep 70 | Rushdie Attack, FBI Debate, Substack, NIMBYs of Silicon Valley
Summary
Ravi and Rikki begin with Friday’s horrific attack on author Salman Rushdie, a champion for free expression in the face of decades-long death threats. We then turn to the shifting landscape of journalism, from the continued decline in local newsrooms to the rise of independent voices on platforms like Substack. Then we get into a particularly egregious case of NIMBYism in Silicon Valley and engage with a debate getting a lot of play among conservative media and lawmakers right now: “defund the FBI.” Finally, we wrap up with some updates on the war in Ukraine.
