In September of 2024, P. Diddy was indicted by a federal grand jury in Manhattan and charged with racketeering, sex trafficking by force, transportation for purposes of prostitution, narcotics charges, arson, assault. He was accused with creating “ a criminal enterprise in which he abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct". He has obviously pled not guilty and has been denied bail, so he remains in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. On October 1, 2024, the Washington Post reported that a team of lawyers will be filing as many as 120 more lawsuits, covering assaults that took place during the 2000s and 2010s. There are 120 plaintiffs, 25 of whom were minors with the youngest being 9 years old. They are both male and female, and half of the alleged victims say they reported the assault to police, to a doctor, or to the FBI. There are apparently 3,000 abuse allegations, and over 100 additional cases being actively examined. Prosecutors announced that there are more co-defendants to be named, and they said, "The names that we're going to name, assuming our investigators confirm and corroborate what we've been told, are names that will shock you. I'm talking here about not just the cowardly but complicit bystanders, that is those people that we know watched this behavior occur and did nothing. And I'm talking about the people that participated, encouraged it, egged it on. They know who they are."

The Conspiracy Theories Surrounding Big Pharma: Part 2

**Discussion begins at 7:30**
Have you ever taken a pill before? Have you ever received a prescription? Did you think to yourself, 'is this diluted with water'? Did you think to yourself, 'what truly is behind the theory behind this medicine'? Today we are talking about all of the conspiracy theories surrounding Big Pharma... People have long alleged that that pharmaceutical companies suppress cures for diseases to maintain a steady revenue from ongoing treatments. In fact, there is a belief that big pharma is actively working to suppress alternative treatments that could compete with pharmaceutical products. Further conspiracy theories include assertions that data from drug trials are manipulated to ensure FDA approval and market success, that the government colludes to enforce regulations that favor their interests, and that big pharma influences doctors through kickbacks and promotions, which could lead to biased prescribing practices. Today we’re going to have our resident PharmD breakdown these and other conspiracy theories.

Titanic: Bait & Switch

**Discussion beings at 3:20**

On April 10, 1912, the Titanic set sail for her maiden voyage across the Atlantic ocean. She was a beautiful ship, designed for British luxury, and coined the “Millionaire’s Special.” She was journeying from Southampton, England with the hope of touching shores in New York, New York, but she never made it. As many of you know, she had an unfortunate collision with the ICEBERG STRAIGHT AHEAD, and capsized in the middle of the ocean between April 14 and 15, 1912. With approximately 1500 deaths, most of which coming from the crew and the third-class passengers, it is one of the most infamous tragedies in both American and British history.
In the early 1900’s, the shipping industry was at full peak, especially those voyages seeking to cross the Atlantic. These ships were used for trade, as well as vacations for the wealthy high socialites of that time. White Star, a company looking to enter the competition for transatlantic cruises, started construction on three large liners that would be recognized for their speed and comfort. These three vessels would be named the Olympic, the Britannica, and the Titanic. The Titanic featured a large, upscale dining room, four elevators, and a swimming pool. It had 16 compartments that included steel doors that could be closed to contain water, should the vessel be breached. The designers and builders claimed that 4 of the compartments could be filled with water and it would not affect the buoyancy of the Titanic. She would continue to float. Because of these characteristics, the Titanic was deemed “Unsinkable.” She was one of the largest and luxurious ships of her time, at 882.5 feet long and 92.5 feet wide. She had a carrying capacity of approximately 46,000 tons and weighed about 52,000 tons. But was this horrible tragedy just an accident? Or could it be something more sinister? Could the Titanic have been launched on not only her maiden voyage, but a suicide mission?
