One of my closest friends, John Wood Jr. with Braver Angels, launched a podcast. His goal is to bring America together. John is a Conservative and I'm a Liberal but he often talks about him and I running for office together one day on a unity ticket. I don't know about that but I would support him in any office he runs for.
His first guest, Dave Rubin. Check it out.
Had a fun time this weekend at a birthday party and wanted to share my GIF. btw..I learned it's pronounced JIFF with a soft G not GIFF with a hard G. The more you know I suppose.
@KimIversen Quick correction on the 8 April episode, around 33 minutes: Ahmad asks whether this is about the fact that women in Iran “have to have a scarf around their shoulders” then adds “it’s the exact same thing in Saudi Arabia” and you agreed with him. That comparison is false. Women in Saudi Arabia do not have to cover. They can wear what they want as long as it is modest, meaning at least to the knees and no bare shoulders. This is clearly stated in official Saudi guidance. Women who cover do so for religious or cultural reasons, not because the law requires it. Earlier in the episode, you were perceptive enough to question selective framing in Iran and why uncovered women are not the ones being shown or interviewed. Yet when Saudi Arabia came up, that skepticism switched off and an old stereotype was repeated as fact. Selective skepticism is not skepticism at all. It is bias.
