It’s power lunch on a Wednesday, and we’re following the pattern. Jimmy Kimmel returned to late-night — emotional, tearful, but unapologetic — while Elon Musk holed up in Palo Alto, running xAI into chaos with “truth-seeking” experiments that spiraled into praise for Hitler and broken code. Two very different stages, but they rhyme: speech bending under pressure, whether from billion-dollar networks or billionaires with too much power.
In this episode of All Too Human, we connect the dots between comedy chilled by politics, technology warped by ego, and the fragile systems that shape what we hear, what we know, and what we’re allowed to say.
That’s today’s Pattern Report. Tomorrow evening we’re back for Bookmarked — lessons from the Hampton Book Club — at 5pm.
If you see a pattern I've missed, send me a text or drop me an email. Let’s keep the conversation moving!
