Can We Eat Lettuce Again? Plus, Where To Get a Pumpkin Spice Latte
Jane’s back from vacation! And she needs to know what’s going on, so contributors Lex Vaughn and Hannah Krieg join to update her on all she missed: Civil rights protections for polyamorous people, grocery pricing protections, Seattle Public School and AI, and more! Next, they cover some national news that has local relevance (Are you registered to vote?) like the end of the current Cyclospora outbreak, bad news from the EPA, and the new foldable iPhone. Finally, Jane asks Lex and Hannah what the people in their life are discussing! They cover cars driving where they shouldn’t, where to get (spicy) pumpkin spice lattes, and a cool new Latin culture festival that happened over the weekend.
