Megan Rapinoe here. This week on A Touch More, we are live from New York for the Liberty's home opener with an extra special guest, Brianna Stewart. We talk about the Liberty's newest additions, the best lessons Stewie ever got from Sue, and what it was like to be at the Met Gala this year. And of course, we couldn't let her go without asking her about that 2024 foul call.

I'm the host of Channels, the show about what happens when tech and media collide. And this week, we're talking to Adam Mosseri, who runs Instagram and who also runs Threads. And he told me what Threads was originally going to be called.
I called it Textagram as a joke, which unfortunately stuck as a name for months before I managed to kill it. Textagram, great name. You're making me regret telling you this. That's This Week on Channels, wherever you listen to your favorite podcast.

I'm Scott Galloway, and this is No Mercy, No Malice. College is a wonder drug. College admissions is a nightmare. High anxiety, as read by George Hahn.
I just returned from the U.S. and was struck by how tense things are. It feels similar to what I imagined the mood was during the Vietnam War. So let's take a break and discuss something even more stressful. College admissions. Yay! Last week I did a college tour with my son. It was a chance for us to bond and bask in the infinite possibilities that stretch out in front of him.
The previous sentence is a lie. The college admissions process has kicked off two years before he sets foot on a campus, and it's already a flaming bag of shit, where a flaming bag of shit is a ton of unnecessary stress. My industry, higher ed, is corrupt and second only to poverty regarding preventable stress in U.S. households.
Note, you likely had the reflexive synapse fire of, reducing poverty is not that simple. No, it is that simple. It would just mean lower stock prices and a more progressive tax policy. The incumbents deploy the illusion of complexity as a weapon of mass distraction from a simple hard truth. the U.S. chooses to let one in five households with children live in poverty. But that's another post.
Despite the lie we tell ourselves, you don't need college, in a vain attempt to opt out of the stress, higher education is in fact a wonder drug. A pill that extends life, makes you happier, healthier, and wealthier, and strengthens your relationships. America is the world's premier manufacturer, producing a compound at a purity no other manufacturer can rival.
