We feel bad about our apparent inability to stick to a schedule while on the West Coast, so we make up for it with putting in minimal effort to plug in just one mic, and take shot at answering some Dear Prudence questions.

Tell us what would you do if your sister was putting a spell on your husband.

Life updates, cyclospora, and responding to a listener question about Mu'atazilis.

We talk to Pittsburgh organizer and Director of Operations at 1Hood, Farooq Al-Said about the teen takeover phenomenon. Is it a phenomenon? How is it being discussed in the media? Could there be a reason why our cities and public spaces aren't built to accommodate sudden, public gatherings?!?!

We review a paper released by Yaqeen Institute which provides an Islamic jurisprudential analysis and framework for AI. What does it mean to think about "halal AI"? Is it achievable? Are there impossible-to-enumerate material linkages that need to be addressed any time we think about redesigning one system to comport with spiritual ethical frameworks???????

Please DM me (Ahmed) if you're interested in seeding my startup, Quantum Qadi, through which I plunder more than a millennia of Muslim intellectual history to create a chatbot that synthesizes frameworks from all madhahib into one certain, final ruling.

We talk about how losing is actually winning RE Iran. Relatedly, shout out to Egypt's soccer team, who won by not losing for the first time in 92 years.

Yasmine gives an update on Delaney Hall. We also talk about Sam Harris and a cry-baby who can't countenance her Brooklyn co-op's boycott of Israel.

Lots discussed. We're San Franciscans now. We've outsourced the podcast to AI agents who also happen to be married, because that's legal (in some cases mandatory) in San Francisco.

Please review us! Surprisingly we are listened to quite a bit in Vietnam and Singapore, so if you're in Vietnam or Singapore, tell your friends about this show and make sure they review it.
