  • Streisanding United Health, Freeing Benchy, Monkeys vs Power Grids, Lying Liars GIS874
    RobChrisRob battled countless technical difficulties in order to gather together and cast a podstream like you've never heard before! We talked about the billionaire who wants to buy tiktok (worked out fine for the last billionaire to buy a social media platform I guess) The sri lankan monkeys getting blamed for taking down their power grid, google accused once again of faking AI to make a commercial, the mysterious millionaire building an underwater house, UnitedHealth getting its feelings hurt that everyone is complaining about it, the millenium tower's windows are breaking now when you open them, the security hole in doge.gov that let anyone push updates, and Benchy getting released under a creative commons license so people can modify it without running afoul of platform rules, and finally nerds detecting if someone's girlfriend is cheating by analyzing photos of an alleged catan game.
