S7 Ep34: Looking Back on 9/11, Texas Making All The Wrong Moves, Olivia Rodrigo's Originality Drama

On today's episode, we discuss the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, Texas making headlines in all the wrong ways, and some drama around Olivia Rodrigo's music.

Pam and Laura saw 'Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings' and provide a spoiler-free review.

This week will mark the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, which is doubly significant given the end of the war in Afghanistan.

We recount our memories of the day and the impact 9/11 had on every day life.

The most restrictive abortion law in the United States has taken effect in Texas after the Supreme Court voted not to block the law.

We dig into why this law is different from other heartbeat bill attempts, and the dangerous legal precedent it sets by placing enforcement in the hands of private citizens.

Speaking of Texas, calls to poison control are up 590% there due to an increase in usage of the drug Ivermectin to treat Covid-19. Just in case it's unclear: do NOT take farm animal anti-parasitic drugs to treat a virus. *facepalm*

Olivia Rodrigo has given up millions in royalties after adding retroactive songwriting credits, most recently for her single, "Good 4 U."

Pam brings us some examples of musical interpolation and sampling, and explains the difference between the two.

Are there truly any original songs anymore?

This week's recommendations will set you up to feel good: HBO Max's 'The Other Two' (Andrew), investing in a sound machine to help you sleep (Pam), and donating to Planned Parenthood (Laura).

And in this week's installment of After Dark, available on Patreon:

Laura is really sick of having neighbors.

Do we feel old yet? We look at the happier side of life from 20 years ago, and cringe at the early 2000's fashion choices that were made.

"Back in my day, teachers warned us to NEVER use Wikipedia."
