On this week's Curmudgeon's Corner Ivan and Sam talk about all the latest crazy news from the Trump administration, and their latest thoughts on AI in the wake of the release of GPT 5. But also movies, and dialup internet, and the trauma of shopping for suits, and Sam's, um, interesting, ways of maintaining to do lists. Fun all around!
