Summary
But are Americans really upset about them — or something much larger? The data-center fury, Bradley argues in today's episode and in his recent Substack , reflects humankind’s inability to cope with the ever accelerating pace of technological change. Plus, why Mayor Mamdani's penchant for taking political gambles will eventually cost him, a happy-ending story of how a lost dog brought out the best in New Yorkers, and a summer's worth of food, travel and cultural recommendations . This episode was taped at P&T Knitwear at 180 Orchard Street — New York City’s only free podcast recording studio. Send us an email with your thoughts on today’s episode: [email protected] .
