1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,560 Hello. This is my last episode of the year. 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,560 But stuff still happened. 3 00:00:06,560 --> 00:00:07,440 So what's up? 4 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,480 Hopefully Grindavik is up still in the future. 5 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,800 Uh, a small town in Iceland has been evacuated. 6 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,240 4,000 residents removed as a volcano is kind of going, 7 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:20,480 that's volcano. 8 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:21,760 That's that's a volcano. 9 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,480 Dear God, we're not off to a good start. 10 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,760 All right. So there's been massive volcanic activity in Iceland. 11 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,840 Wow. Shocker. Never happened before. 12 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:34,320 Uh, but there's a town called Grindavik and they they're basically in the shadow of the current 13 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:35,360 active volcano. 14 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,440 4,000 residents have been evacuated. 15 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,280 They have found shelter elsewhere. 16 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:40,720 They're kind of used to this. 17 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,600 A report from the BBC quoted a resident in saying, 18 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,440 No, I'm not afraid of going back. 19 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,000 If it starts to shake again, I'm just going to leave. 20 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,720 Just kind of casually being like, yeah, I mean, yeah, there's a volcano, 21 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:51,680 but I mean, I don't know. 22 00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:53,760 It's just kind of there. 23 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,280 So what if it goes, I'll just walk away. 24 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,280 This lava can't catch my ass. 25 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:00,000 Too powerful. 26 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,440 Colorado said no to Trump. 27 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:04,880 Sniff. 28 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:10,080 The Colorado Supreme Court has ruled that Trump will not be on their 2024 presidential ballot. 29 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,640 That doesn't necessarily mean that Trump won't be on their 2024 presidential ballot. 30 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,720 I mean, cool and all, but Trump's legal team is going to appeal this to the Supreme Court. 31 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,680 So, I mean, it's the Supreme Court. 32 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,400 They got rid of your rights. 33 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:30,880 I don't quite trust them to uphold a state determining that a guy did a bad whatever. 34 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,080 The Colorado Supreme Court found that Trump's ongoing efforts to try to 35 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,200 overturn the 2020 election results constituted insurrection, 36 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:42,080 which triggers a part of the 14th Amendment, which means that he's not allowed to be on the ballot. 37 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,360 This is pretty big. 38 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:44,480 It's a big deal regardless. 39 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,560 Even if it does go to the Supreme Court and get shot down, 40 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,360 this is the first time this actually went through. 41 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:50,560 So it's a bit of a precedent. 42 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:55,280 And if the SCOTUS does end up upholding this, that is a massive deal. 43 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,760 So like, yes, I'm not particularly optimistic that this is going to actually be the case. 44 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,880 But if it is, holy God. 45 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,440 Now, if only we could do the same for Biden. 46 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,200 Video game developer Insomniac Games, who makes the Spider-Man games, 47 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,200 they got hit with a ridiculously massive ransomware attack. 48 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:18,560 1.6 terabytes of internal data, about 1.3 million files, 49 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,800 have been posted online by the attackers. 50 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,680 Contents include files for unreleased games, gameplay footage of unreleased games, 51 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:31,040 entire plot summaries for unreleased games, as well as contracts with like Sony and Marvel, 52 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:37,280 and also HR files, like employees' private information, like I9 forms and shit. 53 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,760 The hacker group is quoted in saying, 54 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:44,160 quote, we knew that developers making games like this would be an easy target. 55 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,080 God, my goodness. 56 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,960 First, you get snubbed for Game of the Year and damn, 57 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,200 although you didn't really get snubbed for Game of the Year. 58 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:52,640 You make good games, Insomniac. 59 00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:53,440 I really like them. 60 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,600 But I mean, Baldur's Gate, I mean, come on. 61 00:02:55,600 --> 00:03:01,840 On this day in 1937, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs premiered for the first time. 62 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,280 This was the first ever premiere of a feature length animated film. 63 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,920 It was also the first movie to accurately depict me, a grumpy boy. 64 00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:12,560 Just a little, just a grumpy little dude. 65 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:17,440 Lightning Round Comcast slash Xfinity has announced that there's been a data breach 66 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:22,080 in their servers affecting 35 million customers or more. 67 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:26,160 Stolen data includes usernames and hashed passwords, but for some users, 68 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,640 you may have had your name and like address, your security question answers, 69 00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:34,160 and also like the last four digits of your social, the bad stuff. 70 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,720 But don't worry, they're looking into it. 71 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,880 Wizards of the Coast has reaffirmed that AI generated imagery does not have any place 72 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,240 in their source material. 73 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:46,160 This comes after AI generated imagery found its way into some of their source material. 74 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,320 Granted, they maintain that that was a mistake and that they don't want that to happen again 75 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:51,440 and that they don't allow it. 76 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:52,320 That's what they're saying. 77 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:56,560 Actor Jonathan Majors, who was poised to be the new big bad guy in Marvel, 78 00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:02,080 ended up just being a bad guy in normal because he was found guilty of domestic assault 79 00:04:02,080 -->
