Summary
Michael Kosta covers all things Olympics, including an American runner who won by a hair, a pole vaulter with interfering genitalia, and an Algerian boxer whose womanhood is challenged. As the election grows closer, RFK Jr.’s bear carcass dump has him securing his place as the weirdest candidate, and Desi Lydic reveals other confessions we can expect from him. Then bestselling author, publisher, and professor Roxane Gay discusses her new e-book, “Stand Your Ground: A Black Feminist Reckoning with America’s Gun Problem.” She talks about her decision to buy a gun, why many other Black women and people of color choose gun ownership as a way of taking their defense into their own hands, and how the Second Amendment tends to go unrecognized when exercised by people who are not heterosexual cis white men. Gay also explains why she is excited about Kamala Harris’s new presidential bid.
