Noam and Jen are back for 2025! While it feels like it has been a few months since we last recorded it has only been a few weeks, we can’t help that the internet had no chill over the holidays. 

We get back into the groove by discussing the current SCOTUS case that will decide if TikTok US will be allowed to continue after 1/19, the legal arguments on both sides of the case, the viability of China owning a social media platform that operates in the US, how far can 1st Amendment and national security arguments be stretched, ByteDance sacrificing TikTok US before they will sell, and what the potential blowback will be if TikTok goes bye-bye.

Relatedly, we discuss Mark Zuckerberg’s big announcement about the changes coming to content moderation and internal operations at Meta, his newfound hero status in certain circles, playing the victim on Rogan, and why he’s striking this tone now (hint - it’s related to the TikTok case).  

Lastly we discuss the wildfires currently burning in parts of Los Angeles, DEI water distribution, politicians who can’t handle a crisis, how fires work, the importance of fixing immediate issues first, and how this is all the environmentalists' fault.

We will be back on Twitch, likely this week, discussing all of the TV we’ve been watching over the past few weeks. Click below to subscribe!
