From London and Washington DC, this week we're asking... Can hotels bring us a human touch? How do we value the lives that we try to save? Will AI democratize or mediocritize our life experiences. And we cover:

• Ace's love of Dutch hotels and their language.
• It’s not your fault if your dad is rubbish.
• Juneteenth: Freedom from the Free.
• (Economic) dominants in subs.
• If you just “think” an experiment, does it count?
• What will we do with the time freed up by AI?
• 5 Rants in 6 minutes.
• Blowing Maltesers.
