00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,533
Hello!

2
00:00:00,533 --> 00:00:03,536
I slept a
full eight hours last night,

3
00:00:04,571 --> 00:00:07,073
but Stuff still Happened.

4
00:00:07,073 --> 00:00:07,974
So what's up?

5
00:00:07,974 --> 00:00:10,810
Let's start off by
getting a little bit of perspective.

6
00:00:10,810 --> 00:00:11,978
I feel like we could use that.

7
00:00:11,978 --> 00:00:15,315
Because, and this is true:
You're not crazy.

8
00:00:15,315 --> 00:00:16,883
I've never actually said this out loud,

9
00:00:16,883 --> 00:00:19,219
but I'm going to cause it sounds
fun to say:

10
00:00:19,219 --> 00:00:22,389
AP-NORC did a poll recently,

11
00:00:22,389 --> 00:00:23,790
basically asking Americans,

12
00:00:23,790 --> 00:00:27,227
Hey, where do you think the government
is overspending and underspending?

13
00:00:28,395 --> 00:00:32,332
Now, given everything that's going on
right now and given the general rhetoric in

14
00:00:32,332 --> 00:00:35,535
the country, the discourse, if you will,

15
00:00:35,535 --> 00:00:39,973
it's really easy to feel like
basically everyone in this country has lost their

16
00:00:39,973 --> 00:00:42,275
minds or maybe you have.

17
00:00:42,275 --> 00:00:43,109
But guess what?

18
00:00:43,109 --> 00:00:45,912
People are far more aligned
than you might think.

19
00:00:45,912 --> 00:00:47,781
Across all political affiliations

20
00:00:47,781 --> 00:00:51,851
There was general agreement that we
should be spending more on social safety

21
00:00:51,851 --> 00:00:53,820
nets and less...

22
00:00:53,820 --> 00:00:54,754
BOMBS.

23
00:00:54,754 --> 00:00:56,222
SO MANY BOMBS.

24
00:00:56,222 --> 00:01:00,326
the top four things that people
agreed we should be spending more on

25
00:01:00,326 --> 00:01:04,631
are Social Security, Medicare, Education and
assistance to the poor

26
00:01:04,631 --> 00:01:05,432
With agreements that we

27
00:01:05,432 --> 00:01:07,867
should be spending
less on border security,

28
00:01:07,867 --> 00:01:12,405
federal law enforcement and the
military, or at least not investing as much.

29
00:01:12,405 --> 00:01:15,842
There's really not much of the, of
a "spend less" except for the federal law

30
00:01:15,842 --> 00:01:18,244
enforcement agencies.
No one wants them.

31
00:01:18,244 --> 00:01:19,245
In the same polling.

32
00:01:19,245 --> 00:01:24,350
It shows that Americans estimate the
government spends about 32% of its annual

33
00:01:24,350 --> 00:01:27,620
budget on foreign aid. That is not true.

34
00:01:27,620 --> 00:01:30,523
The actual percentage of the U S
government budget that goes towards foreign

35
00:01:30,523 --> 00:01:33,026
aid is less than 1% of the budget.

36
00:01:33,026 --> 00:01:34,794
So then consider if the average American

37
00:01:34,794 --> 00:01:40,266
thinks that we're spending 32% of
the government's funding on foreign aid and

38
00:01:40,266 --> 00:01:44,504
the actual reality is that it's
less than 1% and those same people are

39
00:01:44,504 --> 00:01:47,173
complaining that we're
spending too much on foreign aid.

40
00:01:47,173 --> 00:01:48,808
They're literally just misinformed.

41
00:01:48,808 --> 00:01:51,077
Now there's going to be the errant edge Lord

42
00:01:51,077 --> 00:01:53,613
who's like, "Oh, 1% is still too much.

43
00:01:53,613 --> 00:01:57,283
Everyone should just be
miserable and suffer," but those people,

44
00:01:57,283 --> 00:01:58,384
we can ignore them.

45
00:01:58,384 --> 00:02:02,422
They're not interested in actually
being a participant in a functioning society.

46
00:02:02,422 --> 00:02:06,126
So while a bunch of politicians are
getting on TV saying that this is what the

47
00:02:06,126 --> 00:02:07,427
American people want,

48
00:02:07,427 --> 00:02:11,131
they want them to just slash
everything to ribbons and there should be absolutely

49
00:02:11,131 --> 00:02:15,702
no social safety nets and we should
just be walked all over by billionaires.

50
00:02:15,702 --> 00:02:18,238
That's, that's not,
that's not actually the case.

51
00:02:18,238 --> 00:02:21,641
The vast majority of eligible
voters in the U S did not vote for this

52
00:02:21,641 --> 00:02:24,511
administration. Only
about 32% did.

53
00:02:24,511 --> 00:02:25,211
And then again,

54
00:02:25,211 --> 00:02:30,183
consider how many of that 32%
literally don't understand a single thing about

55
00:02:30,183 --> 00:02:34,287
how the federal government
works or how budgeting works or anything.

56
00:02:34,287 --> 00:02:35,989
And they're just voting for the "R"

57
00:02:35,989 --> 00:02:39,692
Now we know that the MAGA
base does not really

58
00:02:39,692 --> 00:02:41,794
drop below the 25% mark.

59
00:02:41,794 --> 00:02:46,332
Like we know that you're never going
to get that last quarter of people to agree

60
00:02:46,332 --> 00:02:48,701
with the 75%.
That's the baseline. And yes,

61
00:02:48,701 --> 00:02:52,672
And yes, it's distressing to know that one
in four people are just living in a fantasy

62
00:02:52,672 --> 00:02:56,409
world where they just are happy
that their countrymen are miserable.

63
00:02:56,409 --> 00:02:58,111
But unfortunately for them,

64
00:02:58,111 --> 00:03:03,316
being happy that people that you
share a country with are miserable is not policy

65
00:03:03,316 --> 00:03:04,651
and is not sustainable.

66
00:03:04,651 --> 00:03:06,352
Because the reason that
they're happy that other people

67
00:03:06,352 --> 00:03:10,623
are miserable is because it
hasn't caught up to them yet and it's gonna,

68
00:03:10,623 --> 00:03:12,559
and it already has in a lot of cases.

69
00:03:12,559 --> 00:03:16,763
So while we recall that the
average person is mostly just uninformed,

70
00:03:16,763 --> 00:03:19,032
which is still a problem, right?

71
00:03:19,032 --> 00:03:22,802
We can also take a look at what's
going on around the world and see that the vast

72
00:03:22,802 --> 00:03:27,240
majority of the rest of the world
is also like, Hey y'all, what's going on?

73
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,944
This administration and their reps
are being lambasted across the world

74
00:03:30,944 --> 00:03:31,711
Pete Hegseth,

75
00:03:31,711 --> 00:03:37,517
the new secretary of defense got
booed by military families on a military base

76
00:03:37,517 --> 00:03:39,919
because they're dumbass anti DEI stuff.

77
00:03:39,919 --> 00:03:45,692
Tesla is seeing double digit drops
in sales worldwide while other EV makers are

78
00:03:45,692 --> 00:03:46,192
thriving.

79
00:03:46,192 --> 00:03:49,529
Entire populations are boycotting
American products because one,

80
00:03:49,529 --> 00:03:51,831
they don't want to
support a fascist and two,

81
00:03:51,831 --> 00:03:53,833
they don't know what the
fuck is going on with the tariffs.

82
00:03:53,833 --> 00:03:55,568
So they're just not
bothering with it.

83
00:03:55,568 --> 00:03:56,869
It's an actual mess.

84
00:03:56,869 --> 00:04:01,574
And the point that I'm trying to
make here is that the average voter is not the

85
00:04:01,574 --> 00:04:06,145
ones that are loudly yelling online
about how happy they are that everyone else

86
00:04:06,145 --> 00:04:08,881
is miserable. That's not the
average voter.

87
00:04:08,881 --> 00:04:10,483
It definitely feels like it.

88
00:04:10,483 --> 00:04:15,088
It definitely seems like it and they
absolutely exist and are a massive problem.

89
00:04:16,055 --> 00:04:19,826
But the average person does
not have that much hate in their heart.

90
00:04:19,826 --> 00:04:24,931
They are probably more apathetic
and beaten down and not stable currently.

91
00:04:24,931 --> 00:04:28,268
And they probably wish that they had
the comforts to be able to pay attention to

92
00:04:28,268 --> 00:04:30,269
what's going on, but they're too busy.

93
00:04:30,269 --> 00:04:33,940
And while it's not really an
excuse for just turning the other way and not

94
00:04:33,940 --> 00:04:38,077
paying attention to
everything as we march into fascism,

95
00:04:38,077 --> 00:04:40,847
it should still be a
little bit of comfort that it's,

96
00:04:40,847 --> 00:04:43,116
it's not just an
ocean of insanity. 

97
00:04:43,116 --> 00:04:43,750
Ultimately,

98
00:04:43,750 --> 00:04:46,853
all I want you to take away
from this is that you're not crazy.

99
00:04:46,853 --> 00:04:51,057
You are not radical. You are
not childish. You are not ridiculous.

100
00:04:51,057 --> 00:04:56,496
You are not silly for suggesting
that there should be basic needs met in this

101
00:04:56,496 --> 00:04:56,963
country.

102
00:04:56,963 --> 00:04:59,899
So please never
let them convince you otherwise,

103
00:04:59,899 --> 00:05:05,738
no matter how much they go on TV
and state that reality is not what it is.

104
00:05:05,738 --> 00:05:06,272
Don't let them.

105
00:05:06,272 --> 00:05:07,106
Moving on!

106
00:05:07,106 --> 00:05:07,974
Tech stuff.

107
00:05:09,175 --> 00:05:09,909
Oh no

108
00:05:09,909 --> 00:05:12,478
The United Kingdom wants
access to your back door.

109
00:05:12,478 --> 00:05:13,012
Wait, no.

110
00:05:13,012 --> 00:05:18,284
The United Kingdom issued an order
to Apple requesting a backdoor access to iCloud

111
00:05:18,284 --> 00:05:19,285
They were like, Hey, Apple,

112
00:05:19,285 --> 00:05:22,722
you know how you have end to
end encrypted security now in iCloud?

113
00:05:23,423 --> 00:05:25,725
Fuck you. Give us access to that.

114
00:05:25,725 --> 00:05:28,027
You know how the whole
point is that no one

115
00:05:28,027 --> 00:05:31,664
else but the user can access
the data. If you could change that,

116
00:05:31,664 --> 00:05:35,868
just a small tweak. Here's
our suggestion. We can also access it.

117
00:05:36,402 --> 00:05:37,036
What do you think?

118
00:05:37,036 --> 00:05:37,904
So here's the thing.

119
00:05:37,904 --> 00:05:41,007
iCloud has a feature called like
enhanced security or something like that,

120
00:05:41,474 --> 00:05:45,111
that turns on end to end
encryption for iCloud storage.

121
00:05:45,111 --> 00:05:49,716
While normal encryption is just
like your data is encrypted by the company.

122
00:05:49,716 --> 00:05:52,719
So the company can also decrypt the data.

123
00:05:52,719 --> 00:05:58,391
End to end encryption is the data is
encrypted for you and only you can access

124
00:05:58,391 --> 00:05:59,392
the data ever.

125
00:05:59,392 --> 00:06:03,296
It's much better for user privacy
for things to be end to end encrypted because

126
00:06:03,296 --> 00:06:07,700
that means the company does not
actually have usable data on their servers.

127
00:06:07,700 --> 00:06:09,902
They just have
gobbledygook

128
00:06:09,902 --> 00:06:12,939
Ones and zeros.
Meaningless!

129
00:06:12,939 --> 00:06:15,174
but to you or anyone
that you've granted access,

130
00:06:15,174 --> 00:06:16,976
they can decrypt it and make sense of it.

131
00:06:17,410 --> 00:06:20,079
And so if you haven't
given a government those access keys,

132
00:06:20,546 --> 00:06:21,948
they can't do anything.

133
00:06:21,948 --> 00:06:25,952
So Apple has a bit of a history of
saying fuck you to the government when they're

134
00:06:25,952 --> 00:06:30,857
asked to break into encrypted
systems. You might remember back in like 2016,

135
00:06:30,857 --> 00:06:34,527
I think there was a case where there
was a murder and they were trying to solve

136
00:06:34,527 --> 00:06:37,463
the murder and they
had the iPhone of the murderer.

137
00:06:37,463 --> 00:06:39,632
And they were like, "Apple get us in"

138
00:06:39,632 --> 00:06:41,567
Or a terrorist. I don't remember.

139
00:06:41,567 --> 00:06:43,469
Point is Apple was like, no,

140
00:06:43,469 --> 00:06:46,839
even in a case where
it could help law enforcement,

141
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,376
we're not going to break encryption
because the whole point is that we're not

142
00:06:50,376 --> 00:06:50,910
going to do that.

143
00:06:50,910 --> 00:06:52,879
And so the U S has kind
of given up on that.

144
00:06:53,312 --> 00:06:56,282
And now the UK is taking
a crack and here's the thing.

145
00:06:56,282 --> 00:06:59,418
The UK and the U S are both
part of a thing called the five eyes.

146
00:06:59,418 --> 00:07:03,523
And it's basically an agreement to
share intelligence between several powerful

147
00:07:03,523 --> 00:07:04,056
countries.

148
00:07:04,056 --> 00:07:06,726
So if the
UK gets this backdoor access,

149
00:07:06,726 --> 00:07:08,027
five nations do

150
00:07:08,027 --> 00:07:10,630
[In silly voice] Including
the United States of America!

151
00:07:11,197 --> 00:07:11,631
[Normal] Weird

152
00:07:11,631 --> 00:07:12,865
I don't know who
said that. That wasn't me.

153
00:07:12,865 --> 00:07:15,001
We do not know
where things lie with this.

154
00:07:15,001 --> 00:07:18,538
Apple hasn't said what they're doing
and they're talking behind the scenes with

155
00:07:18,538 --> 00:07:21,073
the UK. And we unfortunately,

156
00:07:21,073 --> 00:07:24,210
Apple is still a company
and it's still beholden to laws.

157
00:07:24,210 --> 00:07:27,914
So if you use iCloud and you
have like sensitive information on there,

158
00:07:27,914 --> 00:07:31,050
it's unlikely that you've got a lot
to worry about in this particular instance.

159
00:07:31,050 --> 00:07:34,353
However, if you want to go the extra
mile and you really want to lock down your

160
00:07:34,353 --> 00:07:38,291
data and have full control,
regardless of what cloud host you use,

161
00:07:38,291 --> 00:07:40,193
I recommend checking
out something like Cryptomator.

162
00:07:40,193 --> 00:07:44,096
Cryptomator is a free and open
source system that you can use to encrypt your

163
00:07:44,096 --> 00:07:47,500
files on your behalf
before they go into your cloud host.

164
00:07:47,500 --> 00:07:49,569
So you've got your
files, it encrypts them.

165
00:07:49,569 --> 00:07:53,506
And then it goes to iCloud or
Google drive or one drive or whatever.

166
00:07:53,506 --> 00:07:54,674
Then on your other device,

167
00:07:54,674 --> 00:07:58,744
it comes down from the cloud encrypted
and cryptometer decrypts it for that device

168
00:07:58,744 --> 00:08:03,282
Ultimately, it lets you have like a extra layer
of security just in case all your data ever

169
00:08:03,282 --> 00:08:03,616
got leaked

170
00:08:03,616 --> 00:08:06,385
I'll link to
it in a place where links are.

171
00:08:06,385 --> 00:08:10,223
TikTok is back in
stores. Kind of. I mean, not kind of.

172
00:08:10,223 --> 00:08:11,057
It is back in stores.

173
00:08:11,057 --> 00:08:15,328
Apple and Google have both put
TikTok back in their stores at this point after

174
00:08:15,328 --> 00:08:18,664
the Trump administration has made it
clear that they're not going to enforce the

175
00:08:18,664 --> 00:08:21,000
TikTok ban to any
significant degree.

176
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,670
Now like this doesn't really change
much except for people can now get TikTok

177
00:08:24,670 --> 00:08:29,542
So the whole secondhand market for
phones that have TikTok installed is kaput.

178
00:08:30,109 --> 00:08:30,543
BUT

179
00:08:30,543 --> 00:08:34,514
The thing I want to point
out here is that Congress passed a law.

180
00:08:34,514 --> 00:08:37,183
The president signed it into law.

181
00:08:37,183 --> 00:08:41,487
The Supreme court upheld
the law and we're just ignoring it.

182
00:08:41,487 --> 00:08:45,091
So the next time someone says, Oh,
you can't do that. It's against the law.

183
00:08:45,091 --> 00:08:47,226
Asterisk*

184
00:08:47,226 --> 00:08:50,363
It's a dumbass law.
I don't agree with it. And also what?

185
00:08:50,363 --> 00:08:52,999
Google is going to use
AI to find underage children.

186
00:08:53,599 --> 00:08:56,536
I had to say it in
the weirdest way possible.

187
00:08:56,536 --> 00:08:59,639
Google announced in a blog post that
they're going to start deploying a machine

188
00:08:59,639 --> 00:09:05,511
learning system that tries to detect minors
who may possibly access like adult content.

189
00:09:05,511 --> 00:09:06,045
Here's a quote:

190
00:09:06,445 --> 00:09:10,750
"This year we'll begin testing a
machine learning based age estimation model in

191
00:09:10,750 --> 00:09:16,522
the U S this model helps us estimate
whether a user is over or under 18 so that

192
00:09:16,522 --> 00:09:20,226
we can apply protections to help
provide more age appropriate experiences."

193
00:09:20,226 --> 00:09:24,063
This kind of isn't a whole lot like
they already just aggregate everything that

194
00:09:24,063 --> 00:09:26,032
you ever do across all of their services.

195
00:09:26,032 --> 00:09:29,468
They're just going to start feeding
that into a, an AI to try to determine like,

196
00:09:30,102 --> 00:09:34,373
is this the pattern of a, of
a youngster or a, or an old...ster?

197
00:09:34,373 --> 00:09:36,576
I'm an old-ster

198
00:09:37,176 --> 00:09:42,615
I'm mostly just excited to see who gets
a flag on their account saying you're a child.

199
00:09:42,615 --> 00:09:43,883
Cause it's
going to cause if anything,

200
00:09:43,883 --> 00:09:48,287
just a wave of people going to social
media being like "Google labeled me a child!"

201
00:09:48,287 --> 00:09:50,022
POLICY STUUFF

202
00:09:50,022 --> 00:09:53,893
policy stuff. This
has an intro song to now.

203
00:09:53,893 --> 00:09:55,461
That interest song is going
away forever.

204
00:09:55,461 --> 00:09:56,662
Let's talk budget.

205
00:09:56,662 --> 00:09:59,365
The GOP has put
forth their budget proposal.

206
00:09:59,365 --> 00:10:04,003
It is exactly what you would expect
it to be. I don't mean that as like, "ah,

207
00:10:04,003 --> 00:10:08,341
these Republicans!" I mean, as
like literally every time Republicans are in

208
00:10:08,341 --> 00:10:10,343
power, they just
proposed the same kind of stuff.

209
00:10:10,343 --> 00:10:12,845
So let's go over the
high level bullet points.

210
00:10:12,845 --> 00:10:16,148
We've got $4.5 trillion in tax cuts,

211
00:10:16,148 --> 00:10:19,518
almost all of which go to the
rich and wealthiest people in the country,

212
00:10:19,518 --> 00:10:24,256
virtually no tax cuts for the
middle class or the lowest earners. So that's,

213
00:10:24,256 --> 00:10:24,824
you know,

214
00:10:24,824 --> 00:10:28,728
they want to increase the
government's debt ceiling by $4 trillion because

215
00:10:28,728 --> 00:10:31,597
that's a huge concern that
the debt's too much

216
00:10:31,597 --> 00:10:32,431
To help with debt,

217
00:10:32,431 --> 00:10:36,268
they're going to cut mandatory
spending programs up to $2 trillion,

218
00:10:36,268 --> 00:10:38,471
including SNAP (aka "food stamps"),
Medicare, and Medicaid.

219
00:10:38,471 --> 00:10:42,008
They're going to request
spending cuts from the committees for energy,

220
00:10:42,008 --> 00:10:44,443
education, workforce, and agriculture.

221
00:10:44,443 --> 00:10:47,179
They're going to ask for
increases in spending from committees for the

222
00:10:47,179 --> 00:10:50,082
judiciary, armed
services, and Homeland security.

223
00:10:50,082 --> 00:10:54,420
I would reference the poll from
earlier and point out that that is the polar

224
00:10:54,420 --> 00:10:56,322
opposite of what people wanted.

225
00:10:56,322 --> 00:10:58,024
Now this is not a done deal. It's still early,

226
00:10:58,024 --> 00:11:01,060
but we're probably going to see
something along these lines getting passed.

227
00:11:01,060 --> 00:11:03,963
There's still proposed cuts
to like social security and whatnot.

228
00:11:03,963 --> 00:11:07,099
And some moderate Democrats
might not be all on board for that.

229
00:11:07,099 --> 00:11:09,135
I just had "some moderate Democrats."

230
00:11:09,135 --> 00:11:12,905
I literally just conflated Democrats
and Republicans cause I can't fucking tell

231
00:11:12,905 --> 00:11:13,973
the difference sometimes.

232
00:11:13,973 --> 00:11:15,741
Anyway, I meant to say moderate Republicans.

233
00:11:15,741 --> 00:11:19,879
the Republicans have a very slim
majority and they really can't afford to lose

234
00:11:19,879 --> 00:11:22,448
anyone. So they got to make
basically all of them happy. Moving on.

235
00:11:22,448 --> 00:11:26,786
Let's talk about the federal slicing and dicing
and workforce reduction and whatnot.

236
00:11:26,786 --> 00:11:29,188
On the outset, again, if
you're, if you're, if you're new here,

237
00:11:29,188 --> 00:11:34,260
my outlook is we definitely have
way too much money in our system that is

238
00:11:34,260 --> 00:11:35,094
unaccounted for!

239
00:11:35,094 --> 00:11:38,330
And we should absolutely be better
stewards of our people's money.

240
00:11:38,330 --> 00:11:39,932
And I don't think
that's what's happening right now.

241
00:11:39,932 --> 00:11:41,634
Let's talk about what IS happening.

242
00:11:41,634 --> 00:11:46,005
Apparently about 75,000 federal
employees took the offer to stop working

243
00:11:46,005 --> 00:11:48,140
now and receive pay through September.

244
00:11:48,140 --> 00:11:50,676
That amounts to about
3% of the federal workforce,

245
00:11:50,676 --> 00:11:54,814
which is not quite the
minimum of 10% that they were hoping for.

246
00:11:54,814 --> 00:11:58,384
We have no idea if these
people are actually going to be paid.

247
00:11:58,384 --> 00:12:00,119
like this is unprecedented.

248
00:12:00,119 --> 00:12:05,324
And also the people doing this are
Trump and Musk who famously don't follow

249
00:12:05,324 --> 00:12:06,826
through with promises to pay people.

250
00:12:06,826 --> 00:12:10,896
The amount of times that Musk has gone
to court to not pay former employees is wack.

251
00:12:10,896 --> 00:12:12,064
At the same time,

252
00:12:12,064 --> 00:12:16,202
Elon Musk's doge crew launched
a website that was immediately hacked.

253
00:12:16,202 --> 00:12:19,438
It was not secure and somebody was
able to change what it said on the website.

254
00:12:19,438 --> 00:12:23,609
And then they published classified
information about intelligence agencies in

255
00:12:23,609 --> 00:12:25,778
America on a public website.

256
00:12:25,778 --> 00:12:29,482
Specifically they published
employment logistics about an agency that manages

257
00:12:29,482 --> 00:12:31,217
like spy satellites and shit.

258
00:12:31,217 --> 00:12:32,518
So it's the kind
of thing where it's like,

259
00:12:32,518 --> 00:12:36,322
we don't want adversarial
countries to know what we're doing,

260
00:12:36,322 --> 00:12:39,625
but they just didn't, didn't
really think about that and published it.

261
00:12:39,625 --> 00:12:40,326
All the while,

262
00:12:40,326 --> 00:12:44,430
these websites are purportedly
being used to be maximally transparent as,

263
00:12:44,430 --> 00:12:47,666
as Musk puts it about
everything they're doing. When in reality,

264
00:12:47,666 --> 00:12:50,236
he's just posting
every once in a while on Twitter,

265
00:12:50,236 --> 00:12:55,107
which is a private social media
platform that he owns and almost always what he

266
00:12:55,107 --> 00:12:56,275
says is dumb bullshit.

267
00:12:56,275 --> 00:12:57,076
For example,

268
00:12:57,076 --> 00:13:00,713
and I've edited this
because he literally used the R-slur.

269
00:13:00,713 --> 00:13:05,951
He implied that the government
doesn't use SQL SQL. I, however you say it,

270
00:13:06,719 --> 00:13:07,386
I say both

271
00:13:07,386 --> 00:13:10,990
Point being the
man full-throated was like, wow,

272
00:13:10,990 --> 00:13:14,560
you are in "R-slur" if
you think the government uses SQL,

273
00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:17,797
the government very
much does use that a lot.

274
00:13:17,797 --> 00:13:22,601
So the tech genius who is not
actually a tech genius at all repeatedly shows us

275
00:13:22,601 --> 00:13:26,438
that he's not a tech genius. And yet
people still cheer him on because delusion.

276
00:13:26,438 --> 00:13:26,972
And then,

277
00:13:26,972 --> 00:13:31,277
and then a German security researcher
was able to get a snapshot of a big list

278
00:13:31,277 --> 00:13:36,015
of things that Doge was going to
say they tackled and got rid of things that

279
00:13:36,015 --> 00:13:38,384
were supposed to be big wins and whatnot.

280
00:13:38,384 --> 00:13:43,122
The list was also specifically
rewritten to sound as absurd as possible,

281
00:13:43,122 --> 00:13:47,359
as opposed to listing what the
actual contracts and whatnot were.

282
00:13:47,359 --> 00:13:48,327
For example,

283
00:13:48,327 --> 00:13:51,730
one of the bullet points was
that they claimed the government quote,

284
00:13:51,730 --> 00:13:56,902
"shelled out tens of
thousands to create an army of 2,500

285
00:13:56,902 --> 00:13:59,438
LGBTQI plus allies."

286
00:13:59,438 --> 00:14:00,239
But like, it doesn't,

287
00:14:00,239 --> 00:14:03,809
it doesn't say anything about what
that actually means. That could be anything.

288
00:14:03,809 --> 00:14:04,877
That could be anything.

289
00:14:04,877 --> 00:14:08,981
Another example of them spending
government spending is "NASA has allocated roughly

290
00:14:08,981 --> 00:14:13,085
$10 million to
grants advancing DEI and quote,

291
00:14:13,085 --> 00:14:15,554
environmental justice since 2020"

292
00:14:15,554 --> 00:14:20,893
$10 million since 2020 for environmental
justice from NASA says Elon Musk.

293
00:14:20,893 --> 00:14:22,895
I haven't checked,

294
00:14:22,895 --> 00:14:28,400
but I'm fairly certain the
multi-billion dollar contracts that Musk is getting

295
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:29,668
is more consequential

296
00:14:29,668 --> 00:14:32,137
And "environmental justice"
literally just means ensuring

297
00:14:32,137 --> 00:14:35,774
that communities aren't
being destroyed by toxic waste.

298
00:14:35,774 --> 00:14:39,044
Seems like an okay
thing to spend a bit of money on.

299
00:14:39,044 --> 00:14:43,382
And a 10 million is a, is a,
is, it's nothing over four years.

300
00:14:43,382 --> 00:14:44,016
So look,

301
00:14:44,016 --> 00:14:46,885
I'm kind of going back to my
original theme of like they're doing everything

302
00:14:46,885 --> 00:14:50,923
they can to make it sound like
things are absurd and to make it sound like you

303
00:14:50,923 --> 00:14:53,726
are ridiculous for
wanting to keep these things,

304
00:14:53,726 --> 00:14:56,595
like creating an army of
queer allies.

305
00:14:56,595 --> 00:14:57,997
It's not reality.

306
00:14:57,997 --> 00:15:00,399
They're trying to reword reality.

307
00:15:00,399 --> 00:15:03,669
And so I'll end this segment with
the short statement included from the German

308
00:15:03,669 --> 00:15:07,940
researcher who said,
"people all around the world care.

309
00:15:07,940 --> 00:15:12,244
You are not alone
and #TransRights."

310
00:15:12,244 --> 00:15:13,012
Bonus thing.

311
00:15:13,012 --> 00:15:14,046
As I was putting this together,

312
00:15:14,046 --> 00:15:18,584
it came out that the Trump
administration fired so many people so hastily that

313
00:15:18,584 --> 00:15:21,086
they're now trying
to unfire some of them,

314
00:15:21,086 --> 00:15:24,056
but can't cause they no
longer know how to contact them.

315
00:15:24,056 --> 00:15:25,090
Specifically,

316
00:15:25,090 --> 00:15:29,595
they're trying to rehire people in
the national nuclear security administration,

317
00:15:29,595 --> 00:15:31,931
the people who oversee nukes.

318
00:15:31,931 --> 00:15:32,765
"Oops!"

319
00:15:32,765 --> 00:15:37,036
"We fired too many of those
people and we can't find them now!"

320
00:15:37,036 --> 00:15:38,170
So you know.

321
00:15:38,170 --> 00:15:41,240
Eric Adams is a hot button again.

322
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:45,144
New York mayor Eric Adams did a bunch
of fraud and crime and took a lot of bribes

323
00:15:45,144 --> 00:15:49,682
and we're aware of this and he's
been hit with a bunch of charges over it.

324
00:15:49,682 --> 00:15:54,086
But recently a whole bunch of New
York prosecutors have started to resign because

325
00:15:54,086 --> 00:15:58,123
they've been asked to drop the
case against him and they're all like, no,

326
00:15:58,123 --> 00:16:00,392
we have so much evidence that he did it.

327
00:16:00,392 --> 00:16:03,629
And then it came out that Eric Adams
has approved ice to be able to operate on

328
00:16:03,629 --> 00:16:07,299
Rikers Island, which has not been a
thing that they could do since the sanctuary

329
00:16:07,299 --> 00:16:08,701
city laws went into place.

330
00:16:08,701 --> 00:16:12,538
And they came out that Eric Adams
has been palling around with Trump's border

331
00:16:12,538 --> 00:16:14,974
czar and they made an agreement.

332
00:16:14,974 --> 00:16:18,744
And so I just have ears, eyes, a
beating heart and a functioning brain.

333
00:16:18,744 --> 00:16:23,816
But it sure seems like they said,
hey, Eric Adams, we'll drop your charges.

334
00:16:23,816 --> 00:16:25,384
If you comply with ice

335
00:16:25,384 --> 00:16:27,553
But you didn't hear it from me.

336
00:16:27,553 --> 00:16:28,487
LIGHTNING ROUND

337
00:16:28,487 --> 00:16:33,692
160 unexploded WWII-era
"practice bombs" were found

338
00:16:33,692 --> 00:16:36,562
buried underneath a
children's playground in the UK.

339
00:16:36,562 --> 00:16:40,666
I don't know what constitutes a
practice bomb, but according to what I've read,

340
00:16:40,666 --> 00:16:41,700
they can still explode

341
00:16:41,700 --> 00:16:43,535
but, but practice explode.

342
00:16:43,535 --> 00:16:48,040
Luigi Mangione has accepted a
$300,000 donation from a bunch of his fans.

343
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:49,408
And he said, he says, thank you.

344
00:16:49,408 --> 00:16:53,679
An 18 year old dude who was running a
swatting for a higher business was finally

345
00:16:53,679 --> 00:16:56,648
caught after causing
hundreds of swatting incidents.

346
00:16:56,648 --> 00:16:59,284
He even swatted his own
house to throw off the cops.

347
00:16:59,284 --> 00:17:03,989
Igloo, the cooler company,
the cooler company, the cool people.

348
00:17:03,989 --> 00:17:07,059
Uh, they're, they're
recalling a cooler millions of them because

349
00:17:07,059 --> 00:17:08,327
they might chop off your finger.

350
00:17:08,327 --> 00:17:11,930
A United States aircraft
carrier collided with a merchant vessel.

351
00:17:11,930 --> 00:17:15,501
That's that's a hundred thousand
ton ship colliding with a 50,000 ton ship.

352
00:17:15,501 --> 00:17:16,869
Miraculously, nobody was hurt.

353
00:17:16,869 --> 00:17:17,336
That's neat.

354
00:17:17,336 --> 00:17:20,839
Sri Lanka recently
experienced a nationwide power outage.

355
00:17:20,839 --> 00:17:21,807
The root cause?

356
00:17:22,441 --> 00:17:23,208
A monkey!

357
00:17:23,208 --> 00:17:26,178
A monkey got up all in
their power grid business.

358
00:17:26,178 --> 00:17:29,381
And with it didn't have power.

359
00:17:29,381 --> 00:17:34,153
And finally for today, we have video
of a man who was swallowed alive by a whale

360
00:17:34,153 --> 00:17:37,856
before being spat
out back into the ocean.

361
00:17:37,856 --> 00:17:38,490
He's fine.

362
00:17:38,490 --> 00:17:39,958
I'm not sure if the whale is fine though.

363
00:17:39,958 --> 00:17:40,993
That's gotta be embarrassing.

364
00:17:40,993 --> 00:17:44,229
Thank you so much for listening to
today's episode of stuff keeps happening.

365
00:17:44,229 --> 00:17:48,133
Head to skh.news
for sources, bonus content,

366
00:17:48,133 --> 00:17:52,104
and the coldest glass
of water you'll ever drink.

367
00:17:52,104 --> 00:17:53,205
My name is Endeavorance.

368
00:17:53,205 --> 00:17:54,573
I'll be back on Monday.

369
00:17:54,573 --> 00:17:56,708
Take care and be well.
