Opinion: The way we ration ventilators is biased (because even if we only use health status and life expectancy, and not some notion of who's "useful to society," oppression harms people's health, so oppressed people end up getting triaged out unfairly)

That sounds like a very interesting podcast!

https://www.micheauxmission.com/ -- it's fun, and I like the way they engage with listener feedback. Some episodes I skip to the end after I decide I'm definitely not interested in the movie. I'm working through the back episodes and trying to decide whether to listen to Get Out (now that I've gotten to when they covered that) or wait until I watch the movie first (I never saw it, but I did catch some spoilers, alas).

And I didn't say before, but I'm the only person I know who saw Devil In a Blue Dress in a theater back when it was released! I was a big movie hound back in those days.
