Summary

Ravi, Rikki, and Joe start by stitching in their opinions on TikTok, as the social media app’s CEO Shou Chew prepares to testify in front of Congress. Then we turn to Southborough, Massachusetts, where a woman sued her local select board and won in state Supreme Court, striking down the town’s civility code as unconstitutional after getting into a spat and calling a board member “a Hitler” during public comment. Finally, the trio talk about college degree requirements and whether Joe should regret majoring in philosophy.
