## Resource

Y'all. We need to talk. There's a "TSA Gold+" program now, and we found out from a promotional flyer — not a hearing, not a memo, a flyer. Airport security with rewards tiers. So naturally we ask: how many steps away are we from the whole checkpoint going private with a logo and a mascot? Then we're in San Francisco, where a dad got stopped by park rangers for the crime of... teaching his own kids how to hit a tennis ball. On a public court. That he paid taxes for. We unpack what "public" apparently means now and to whom. Also: Amanda Knox is doing stand-up comedy. Yes, that Amanda Knox. We have thoughts, we have questions, and we are absolutely here for the chaos of it. And we're not going to rush past this one: Tasia Fortune was found hanging in Mississippi, and her mother is saying clearly, loudly, and rightly — "she did not do this to herself." We sit with that. We ask the questions that deserve to be asked. Because somebody has to. Grab your coffee. This one's a ride.
