There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...

But there’s also something about truth to pain. We talk a lot about truth to power, but I think it’s actually a lot harder to speak truth to pain. I say that as someone who went to medical school, realizing that in a lot of our politics right now, we’ve got to get a lot better at speaking truth to pain if we’re going to get through some of these challenges that we have.

What does “truth to pain” mean?

It’s one thing to look power in the eye and say: You’re wrong about this. But there’s a way in which pain is very difficult to reason with. Because when somebody is in their pain, they’re in their trauma. They see that pain, and they may not see what’s causing it.

I remember just very explicitly being in a trauma ward with a gunshot wound patient and watching this big guy with his hand on his gunshot wound. All the folks are trying to pull his hand off his pain, that point of his gunshot wound, this clear vulnerability.

And this emergency room doctor had the presence of mind to be like: Everyone, stop. And she looks him in the eyes, and she’s like: I get that really hurts, and I’m so sorry that you’re here. You don’t want to be here. We don’t want you to be here. But if you don’t let us fix this, you could die. So I’m going to take your hand, and I’m going to move it off, OK? Because I need to get there so that you can live.

She was speaking truth to pain. He understands he’s at the hospital, he needs care, but he also doesn’t want anybody to touch the wound. Which is a natural thing. And I think it is a really great metaphor for how we think about a lot of these challenges we talked about today.

I'm really glad that Code Switch included this part of my interview, because I think these are the points that so often get lost in the discussion of trans panic and why the WNBA might be an ideal target for those anti-trans groups to latch onto. www.npr.org/2026/09/15/n...

We're talking about actual bigotry and the belief that this group of people shouldn't have, like, the same human rights as another group. It legitimizes them. And so the WNBA is a big platform for them to be able to do that. But I think what's actually really insidious about being the target is that transphobia is rooted in white supremacist ideas of who is allowed to be a woman and what a woman should look like. Those beliefs have, you know, negatively impacted Black and brown and non-Western women throughout history.

So what you have is a league in the WNBA that is full of Black women, 7-foot-tall women, masculine women, women who don't fit kind of the traditional markers of conventional white Western ideas of womanhood. And so I don't think it's surprising that transphobic ideas around the acceptable kind of woman are coming and impacting this league.

And I think the last piece that I will say is, I think, in some ways, the lack of visibility that the league had for a lot of years really protected it. Like, it wasn't as successful as it should have been because of racism and homophobia and misogyny. And once it becomes successful, the flip side of that is it really does become a different kind of victim of those ideas. And the fact that you have a league that is all women, predominantly Black women, largely queer women who have been successful and they don't need men to do it, and their product is not necessarily for men. I think that's a threat to the status quo. And so it's not just about protecting women's sports. It's actually about dismantling them from the inside.

This, but for everything you buy. This is the future, and increasingly, the present 😭🔫

$8:50 1 •ill 42: Inside Apple's Uncomfortabla X Phone Caste System G ••• To understand the new three-tier iPhone ecosystem is to understand a structure of deliberate digital segregation. Apple has fractured its user base along lines of hardware age, spending power, and how quickly you adopt new tech. It's no longer about owning an iPhone; it's about which class of iPhone you can afford to stay in. At the bottom of this new hierarchy are the grandfathered iPhones. Apple boasts that iOS 27 supports legacy devices all the way back to the iPhone 11. But if you own a standard iPhone 15 or older, you get opti-mizations, not new features. Look past the faster app launches, and you'll realize your phone isn't getting smarter. You are locked out of the Siri Al workspace. The middle tier would be any more recent iPhone, such as the 15 Pro, the base iPhone 16 or 17, and so on. But the fragmentation doesn't stop at artificial intelli-gence. iOS 27 introduces a variant of the OS that's strictly designed to reward the highest spenders. At the apex of this hierar-chy, in the highest tier, is the newly unveiled iPhone Duo class.$

For years, Apple power users have practically begged for basic productivity features, such as the ability to run two applications simultaneously. Apple repeatedly restricted the feature, treating split-screen multitasking as a sacred boundary reserved only for the iPad or a desktop.
But the adaptive version of iOS 27 on the iPhone Duo shatters that philosophy. Unfold the Duo's massive canvas, and iOS 27 unlocks native, side-by-side app multitasking with unique app-pairing engines. By gating a baseline software feature like split-screen multitasking behind an eye-watering price tag, Apple is sending a clear mes-sage: Basic digital efficiency is no longer an inherent part of the smartphone experience.
Instead, it's an upmarket luxury.
