Riot Games got hacked recently, and we basically have no sympathy for them. It shouldn't have happened in the first place, and according to our estimates they're still in the 2nd Stage of Breach. Listen in to hear Jon rip into why they're terrible, what the 5 Stages of Breach actually are, and hear our first impassioned plea to help us get more popular.

Misinformation and disinformation have reared their ugly head in the past few years, fueled largely by social media. Finland is one country that seems to be doing something about the core problem, by teaching kids the skills needed to discern fact from looks-like-a-fact. It's actually basically as simple as that.

Netflix's habit of cancelling shows after just 1 or 2 seasons is awful for people who liked the show - but worse for the industry as a whole, because it seems to be becoming the norm. We talk about why this sucks, and what to expect from the future, and also Peter disappears for a quick nap.

TikTok has been banned on the University of Texas campus due to concerns about data it collects being available to the Chinese government. Is that pointless? Mike thinks so, but Jon and Peter aren't so sure. Bonus: a teaser of Peter's new rap soon to premiere... on TikTok.
