1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,500
Hello.

2
00:00:00,500 --> 00:00:05,080
I listened to the judgement of the Oratrice Mechanique Danilis Cardinal,

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:08,160
but stuff still happened.

4
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:09,120
So what's up?

5
00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:11,520
Hey, it's a lion on the loose.

6
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:12,720
In Italy?

7
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:13,760
Not anymore.

8
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,800
I just gave you the whole story, but let's go into the details.

9
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,760
A lion escaped from a carnival in a town in Italy

10
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:24,000
and walked the streets for several hours before ultimately being tranquilized and caught.

11
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:29,360
Eight-year-old Kimba the lion, which is an adorable name, thankfully didn't hurt anybody.

12
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,320
For whatever reason, the lion was just like, eh, y'all can chill.

13
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:33,680
I'm just going for a stroll.

14
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:39,360
There is literal footage of just like from people's windows of like, oh, there's a lion down there.

15
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:41,680
Okay, guess I'm staying inside.

16
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,000
But even though the lion didn't really maul anybody,

17
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,200
this is just a reminder to not mess with lions.

18
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:48,320
They might be friend shaped.

19
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:49,440
They are not friends.

20
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,760
This is also a reminder to stop exploiting animals in circuses.

21
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:54,400
Stop it.

22
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,720
Hey, uh, Apple discriminated,

23
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,320
this time against U.S. citizens and permanent residents when hiring people.

24
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,120
The U.S. Department of Justice has reached a settlement with Apple

25
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,960
of about $25 million over violations of hiring policy.

26
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:09,200
According to the DOJ, Apple was, quote,

27
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,120
creating unlawful barriers that make it harder for someone to seek a job

28
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,040
because of their citizenship status.

29
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:20,640
In the tech world is often a whole lot cheaper to outsource jobs overseas and pay a lot less

30
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,880
or hire on somebody and give them a visa so that they have to stay at the company

31
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,320
if they want to stay in the country.

32
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:28,720
You're either paying significantly less overseas

33
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,880
or bringing someone here and having much better employee retention rates.

34
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,240
It's a lot easier to keep employees when them leaving your company

35
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,720
means they have to eject themselves from the country.

36
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,240
Anyway, while the agreement does say that Apple did violate these laws,

37
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,640
Apple maintains it was just an oopsie doopsie.

38
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:45,920
They say they were, quote,

39
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,040
unintentionally not following these standards.

40
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,360
Apple is a multi-trillion dollar company

41
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,320
and can probably afford lawyers that could have figured that one out.

42
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:55,920
Oops, wrong car.

43
00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:00,160
The Secret Service opened fire at three people in D.C. over the weekend

44
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,520
because they were trying to carjack the Secret Service.

45
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,760
Yep, it was a detail that was supposed to be protecting

46
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,880
Joe Biden's granddaughter, Naomi, who exists.

47
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:09,680
I didn't know that.

48
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,520
But I guess these thieves didn't know either

49
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,480
because they were like, ooh, that's a nice unmarked SUV.

50
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:15,440
Let's break into it.

51
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:16,880
And then they tried to do that.

52
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,200
And oops, all Secret Service.

53
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,040
Nobody was injured by the gunfire because the Secret Service missed all their shots.

54
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:23,840
Excellent training.

55
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,080
But also for realsies, thanks for not killing them.

56
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,760
Don't kill people over property.

57
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,360
But the Secret Service saw them scramble into a red car and drive off.

58
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,560
And they've now put out a bulletin saying we're looking for a red car.

59
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,880
So if you see a red car, it's probably them.

60
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,120
Be afraid of red cars.

61
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:40,080
That's the message here.

62
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:41,280
Ha ha, I'm the news.

63
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:42,080
Be scared.

64
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,440
Boo, I scared you.

65
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,760
Carjackings in D.C. are on the rise.

66
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,960
I actually just recently talked about another U.S. congressman

67
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,720
who had his car stolen in D.C.

68
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,200
Maybe that just gave them a taste for public officials.

69
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:57,280
But regardless, what if we just started, you know, meeting people's needs?

70
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,000
So that crime didn't happen so much.

71
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:00,400
No?

72
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:01,520
All right, moving on.

73
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:07,200
The FBI has seized the phone and other personal devices of New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

74
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,840
Adams, a former cop and now mayor of New York City,

75
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:14,320
is under investigation by the FBI for potential campaign finance violations.

76
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,000
It is suspected that he may have taken payments from the Turkish government.

77
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,080
There's a lot going on there.

78
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:24,240
Very recently, his campaign finance director's home was raided by the FBI.

79
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,080
And then now his stuff was taken.

80
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:30,480
But Adams and his campaign attorney both maintain that he is not under investigation

81
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,160
and is innocent of any wrongdoing, if there was any wrongdoing.

82
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:35,840
It was a staffer and they handled it.

83
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,120
Stop worrying about it.

84
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:38,240
Can we forget this now?

85
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:39,440
Okay, let's just move on.

86
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,000
Just stop worrying about it.

87
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,720
On this day in 1956, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down a decision

88
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:51,200
which would go on to end one of the most notable racial protests in U.S. history.

89
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,760
And that would be the Montgomery Bus Boycott.

90
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,760
If you're not super familiar with U.S. racial history,

91
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,640
and if you're not from the U.S., you probably aren't,

92
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:03,680
there was a famous boycott in which Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus

93
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:04,880
to a white passenger.

94
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,000
This was in Alabama.

95
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,800
And at the time, there was a state law that segregated buses.

96
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,320
And she was legally required to give up her seat to white people.

97
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,160
She refused because fuck that.

98
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,280
And that kicked off a year-long protest of the bus system.

99
00:04:17,280 --> 00:04:21,200
Eventually, a federal court ruled that the state's laws were unconstitutional.

100
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,680
The state fought it all the way to the Supreme Court,

101
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:28,480
who upheld that ruling, ultimately ending the protest as they had to change the laws.

102
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,560
It was obviously a rocky ride and did not fix everything overnight.

103
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,800
But Rosa Parks remains a total badass.

104
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:35,680
Lightning round.

105
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,800
It turns out Warren Buffett did insider trading,

106
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,760
despite being loudly against insider trading.

107
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:42,400
Shock.

108
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,000
A U.S. military aircraft has gone down over the Mediterranean Sea.

109
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,000
They claim it was a training accident.

110
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:53,280
A sitting Florida lawmaker is under fire because after being asked how many citizens of Gaza

111
00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:57,040
need to die in this conflict, she replied, all of them.

112
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,080
Just so you hear her name, it was Michelle Salzman

113
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,920
is the one that called to kill 2.3 million people.

114
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:08,720
Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu says that Israel will continue to, quote,

115
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:13,120
control security in Gaza once they're done there.

116
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:18,000
Doing the killing, bombing hospitals, and making it so that people can't get any humanitarian aid.

117
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,640
The great tech layoffs continue, even to this day,

118
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:25,280
as Google, Amazon, and others have announced another wave of layoffs.

119
00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:28,720
Literally hundreds of thousands of tech workers have been laid off at this point.

120
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,480
If you bought a cyber truck, I'm laughing at you,

121
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:37,360
but also Tesla has announced that you will not be able to resell it or they'll sue you,

122
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,360
at least for like a year after purchase.

123
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,680
But also like, why are you buying a cyber truck?

124
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:43,680
What are you doing?

125
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,440
Bro, because I know it's bro.

126
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:47,360
Get your life together.

127
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,680
And finally for today, Tumblr is dead.

128
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:50,720
Long live Tumblr.

129
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:55,520
As the parent company that now owns Tumblr, whichever one that is now, I believe it's automatic,

130
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,200
they have moved a lot of the actual product team for Tumblr away from it.

131
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,200
And now it's just sort of in maintenance mode.

132
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,400
But we all know what they could have done to save Tumblr.

133
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,440
Thank you so much for listening to today's episode of Stuff Keeps Happening.

00:06:15,840 --> 00:06:19,040
Don't forget to share this episode with other folks.

137

I'll be back on Wednesday.

142
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:38,320
Take care and be well.
