On this week’s Without a Country, Corinne Fisher and Mike Harrington dive into the latest developments in the Lindsay Clancy case and the debate over postpartum psychosis, criminal responsibility, and the way the media covers mothers who k*ll their children. They also unpack the newly released 9/11 air quality documents and what they reveal about what New Yorkers were told after the attacks, Meta’s massive settlement over the harm social media causes children, the global rightward political shift and Germany’s latest elections, an Egyptian TV presenter sentenced to death in a drug-trafficking case, the backlash surrounding Gloria Steinem’s legacy and her CIA ties, and alarming warnings from AI researchers who believe the race toward superintelligence could pose an existential threat to humanity.
