## About this episode

The Lancet and New England Journal of Medicine retracted high-profile studies on hydroxychloroquine after independent reviewers found the underlying data from Surgisphere to be fraudulent. This scientific collapse coincides with reports from the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center suggesting SARS-CoV-2 is losing virulence as viral loads in new patients plummet. Meanwhile, Buffalo police face intense scrutiny after 75-year-old Martin Gugino was shoved to the ground, an incident some claim was staged with fake blood kits.

In Minneapolis, Mayor Jacob Frey faced a public walk of shame after refusing to support the total abolition of the police department during a confrontation with radical activists. The Minneapolis City Council has since moved to ban chokeholds and explore a transformative public safety force to replace the current precinct system. These local tensions are mirrored in the media, where New York Times editorial page editor James Bennet resigned following a staff revolt over an op-ed by Senator Tom Cotton. Corporate entities like Reddit are also shifting, with co-founder Alexis Ohanian resigning to make room for a black board member while tech firms purge terms like blacklist from their codebases.

Joe Biden continues to struggle with teleprompter cues during speeches in Delaware, leading to awkward pauses and repetitive sign-offs that fuel cognitive stamina concerns. At a recent Austin meetup, nearly 40 producers braved 95-degree heat to discuss the Zephyr train car counts and the rise of the Light Phone 2. The episode concludes with a look at the Golden Gate Bridge, which has begun emitting a loud whistling sound due to new sidewalk railing modifications.

### 2. Vitamin B12 Supplementation and Sublingual Absorption (1:47–3:22)

A discussion regarding the proper administration of Vitamin B12 supplements emphasizes the importance of chewing methylcobalamin tablets to mix them with saliva for better absorption. One speaker describes taking two tablets before the broadcast to test their effectiveness on energy levels. The conversation notes that swallowing the tablets whole is generally less effective than sublingual or masticated methods.

### 4. DMARC Implementation and Google Email Security Changes (5:50–9:48)

The implementation of DMARC, SPF, and DKIM records has changed how email verification works, specifically impacting the ability to send mail from third-party aliases through Gmail.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo reported a significant drop in the state's COVID-19 death rate, reaching a low of 35 daily fatalities. Cuomo acknowledged that at such low levels, the numbers often depend on how hospitals attribute the cause of death for gravely ill patients. This admission has led to claims that prior death counts may have been inflated through specific medical coding practices.

The "Flight 93 calculus" is a political metaphor originally used in 2016 to describe the urgency of voting for Donald Trump to save the country.
