WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.719 Hello. I went up the spout again. But stuff still 00:00:05.719 --> 00:00:13.800 happened. So what's up? Bees! Bees! 250 million 00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:16.920 bees! 14 million bees. I don't care anymore. 00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:20.000 This past Friday, a truck in Washington State 00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:23.980 overturned full of bees. 14 million of them. 00:00:23.949 --> 00:00:27.050 It was originally reported as 250 million bees 00:00:27.050 --> 00:00:29.730 pouring out the back of this truck until, I shit 00:00:29.730 --> 00:00:33.210 you not, a group of master beekeepers arrived 00:00:33.210 --> 00:00:35.390 on the scene. These dudes rocked up and they 00:00:35.390 --> 00:00:38.950 were like, hey, Buzz Buzz, I have a better number. 00:00:38.950 --> 00:00:42.210 It's actually like 14 million, not 250. Get out 00:00:42.210 --> 00:00:44.469 of here with that. So they got an expert opinion 00:00:44.469 --> 00:00:47.850 on the bee count. But actually, this is kind 00:00:47.850 --> 00:00:50.049 of amazing. Within a couple of days, they actually 00:00:50.049 --> 00:00:53.210 managed to get most of the bees back. I want... 00:00:53.390 --> 00:00:58.409 more situations where the most niche professionals 00:00:58.409 --> 00:01:00.729 who get to call themselves a master of their 00:01:00.729 --> 00:01:04.189 craft show up and just solve the problem. Like, 00:01:04.269 --> 00:01:07.590 who knew? We got a truck full of bees. Someone 00:01:07.590 --> 00:01:10.750 call the secret society of master beekeepers 00:01:10.750 --> 00:01:14.430 that we have on hand, apparently? Rad. Amazing. 00:01:14.670 --> 00:01:17.450 Very cool. The only thing I know about beekeeping 00:01:17.450 --> 00:01:22.090 is the smoke thing. Like, smokes. smokes up the 00:01:22.090 --> 00:01:25.450 hive. Other than that, the rest of my hive knowledge 00:01:25.450 --> 00:01:29.209 is from Destiny 2, so not applicable. So yeah, 00:01:29.430 --> 00:01:33.250 there was a threat of 14 million bees invading 00:01:33.250 --> 00:01:35.989 Washington State, but then the beekeepers took 00:01:35.989 --> 00:01:40.299 care of it. The end, and now we move on. Policy. 00:01:40.579 --> 00:01:43.219 The state is doing surveillance in the surveillance 00:01:43.219 --> 00:01:45.840 state. Yeehaw. There's a scenario that's often 00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:48.019 brought up by pro -abortion rights activists 00:01:48.019 --> 00:01:51.420 where they say, okay, consider a case where a 00:01:51.420 --> 00:01:53.579 woman is living in a state where abortion is 00:01:53.579 --> 00:01:56.120 illegal and she needs to go get one because it's 00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:57.920 threatening her life. So she goes to another 00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:00.510 state. gets the healthcare that she needs, and 00:02:00.510 --> 00:02:03.549 then is prosecuted by her home state as a murderer. 00:02:03.829 --> 00:02:06.530 Like, the cops find out, and they go after her, 00:02:06.629 --> 00:02:09.189 and they're like, you are from whatever state, 00:02:09.469 --> 00:02:12.129 you did a bad, we're coming after you now. For 00:02:12.129 --> 00:02:15.289 simply, like, doing self -preservation, right? 00:02:15.490 --> 00:02:18.150 So again, this scenario is brought up often in 00:02:18.150 --> 00:02:20.250 just sort of like arguments as a hypothetical 00:02:20.250 --> 00:02:22.569 that isn't actually all that hypothetical. But 00:02:22.569 --> 00:02:24.569 unfortunately, most people who are hearing this 00:02:24.569 --> 00:02:27.590 argument either lack the ability to sort of like 00:02:27.590 --> 00:02:30.050 put themselves in that situation and have that 00:02:30.050 --> 00:02:32.969 foresight to see, oh, wait, yeah, I can see how 00:02:32.969 --> 00:02:35.949 this could be used against me in my own way. 00:02:36.469 --> 00:02:39.090 Or they just agree with the state in this scenario 00:02:39.090 --> 00:02:41.569 and they're actually totally OK with it. So I 00:02:41.569 --> 00:02:44.250 want to I want to point out a story that is a 00:02:44.250 --> 00:02:47.590 lot more real. It's not exactly that scenario, 00:02:47.669 --> 00:02:51.270 but it's Scarily close. A woman in Texas was 00:02:51.270 --> 00:02:53.909 believed to have given herself an abortion and 00:02:53.909 --> 00:02:56.189 she was believed to have fled the state. So her 00:02:56.189 --> 00:02:58.490 family went to the cops and was like, we don't 00:02:58.490 --> 00:03:00.669 know where she is and we're scared for her safety. 00:03:00.930 --> 00:03:03.389 The cops then use a system called Flock, which 00:03:03.389 --> 00:03:06.530 gives them access to a massive network of over 00:03:06.530 --> 00:03:10.330 80 ,000 cameras across the country to look for 00:03:10.330 --> 00:03:12.210 this woman. They can scan for license plates, 00:03:12.229 --> 00:03:14.069 they can look for identical features, they can 00:03:14.069 --> 00:03:17.550 go far back in history and access all of that. 00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:19.960 including cameras that are across state lines 00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:23.199 and without a warrant or prior authorization. 00:03:23.500 --> 00:03:25.240 The only thing they have to do to use the system 00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:28.180 is input a reason why they're using it, to which 00:03:28.180 --> 00:03:31.639 they said the reason was, had an abortion, search 00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:34.740 for female. This is a literal nationwide camera 00:03:34.740 --> 00:03:38.520 network that cops can just access because had 00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:41.300 an abortion, search for female. But it's okay, 00:03:41.300 --> 00:03:43.879 it's a privatized network. So since it's not 00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:46.719 the government doing it, it's okay. Let's just 00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:49.419 keep Let's keep letting tech companies do this. 00:03:49.539 --> 00:03:51.300 So it's a bit of a fascist hellscape out there. 00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:53.960 Combine that with the State Department now planning 00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:56.639 to start vetting foreign student social media 00:03:56.639 --> 00:03:59.180 when they're coming in for a visa to study here, 00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:02.479 because we just love free speech. It's so tasty 00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:05.639 and it goes down smooth. Speaking of smooth, 00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:07.960 what's not smooth is this transition into the 00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:12.479 next segment about RFK and his report and its 00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:15.889 hallucinations. RFK Jr. is an incompetent, hubris 00:04:15.889 --> 00:04:18.410 -driven fool who is actively working to undermine 00:04:18.410 --> 00:04:21.029 the health of an entire country because no one 00:04:21.029 --> 00:04:24.050 has told him to actually shut the fuck up ever. 00:04:24.370 --> 00:04:26.730 Here are my supporting arguments. I talked last 00:04:26.730 --> 00:04:30.230 week about the MAHA report in which RFK basically 00:04:30.230 --> 00:04:32.689 was like, here's my big report on what's poisoning 00:04:32.689 --> 00:04:35.709 the children's these days. The report said the 00:04:35.709 --> 00:04:37.769 things that you would expect a conspiracy theorist 00:04:37.769 --> 00:04:39.750 anti -vaxxers who say are bad for the children, 00:04:39.850 --> 00:04:43.439 like... vaccines and those dang phones. It was 00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:45.819 also, of course, altered by the White House to 00:04:45.819 --> 00:04:48.779 remove key sections about large chemical companies 00:04:48.779 --> 00:04:51.519 that may have faced scrutiny. But now, after 00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:53.180 people have been poring over it and actually 00:04:53.180 --> 00:04:54.740 seeing what's in the report, it has come out 00:04:54.740 --> 00:04:57.639 that the report appears to be littered with AI 00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:00.699 hallucinations. So it became pretty clear that 00:05:00.699 --> 00:05:03.740 this report was just citing absolute bullshit 00:05:03.740 --> 00:05:07.139 probably made up by chat GPT. For example, there 00:05:07.139 --> 00:05:09.819 were authors credited to papers that they never 00:05:09.819 --> 00:05:12.240 wrote and co authored with people they've never 00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:14.560 met. The White House has categorized these errors 00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:17.800 as quote formatting issues and have released 00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:20.899 an updated version to address these. Formatting 00:05:20.899 --> 00:05:23.060 issues. These are formatting issues in the same 00:05:23.060 --> 00:05:25.500 way that the lack of additional zeros in my bank 00:05:25.500 --> 00:05:27.980 account is a calculation error. So he puts out 00:05:27.980 --> 00:05:30.240 this report that cites things that don't exist 00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:32.720 and science that no one agrees with. He's also 00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:34.699 railing against fluoride, which is projected 00:05:34.699 --> 00:05:39.420 to create a ten billion dollar bill of just dentistry 00:05:39.420 --> 00:05:41.639 appointments if it gets taken out of municipal 00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:44.000 water. And then he's fucking with ongoing research 00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:47.399 contracts for things like research into a vaccine 00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:51.009 for the bird flu. The thing that we're worried 00:05:51.009 --> 00:05:53.670 about happening. I spent a lot of energy during 00:05:53.670 --> 00:05:56.730 campaign season just pushing back on the swarm 00:05:56.730 --> 00:05:59.870 of RFK bots in my comments that were constantly 00:05:59.870 --> 00:06:02.649 claiming that he wasn't the obvious anti -vaxxer 00:06:02.649 --> 00:06:05.930 conspiracy theorist that he absolutely obviously 00:06:05.930 --> 00:06:08.550 is. People literally came into my comments and 00:06:08.550 --> 00:06:11.370 said he's not an anti -vaxxer. When the man founded 00:06:11.370 --> 00:06:15.209 an anti -vaxx think tank, it's... is bonkers. 00:06:15.589 --> 00:06:18.170 Public Health is a group project and beyond just 00:06:18.170 --> 00:06:21.050 the entire country failing, the teacher is for 00:06:21.050 --> 00:06:22.850 some reason telling us that the only way to get 00:06:22.850 --> 00:06:25.870 an A is to punch yourself in the balls on loop 00:06:25.870 --> 00:06:28.629 forever. Moving on, remember Boeing and how they 00:06:28.629 --> 00:06:30.290 made the airplanes that kept falling out of the 00:06:30.290 --> 00:06:32.329 sky? And then it came out that they were like 00:06:32.329 --> 00:06:34.930 skirting safety regulations and then they totally 00:06:34.930 --> 00:06:37.029 didn't kill multiple whistleblowers over it? 00:06:37.149 --> 00:06:39.209 So the US Department of Justice had opened up 00:06:39.209 --> 00:06:42.149 a criminal fraud case into Boeing and they're 00:06:42.149 --> 00:06:45.560 now Just kind of quietly just scooting that off. 00:06:45.779 --> 00:06:48.379 Yep, the DOJ is basically bringing Boeing to 00:06:48.379 --> 00:06:51.980 a pinky promise to do better and to pay out 1 00:06:51.980 --> 00:06:55.459 .5 billion dollars sort of in like investments. 00:06:55.740 --> 00:06:58.639 to the families that were lost of the over 300 00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:01.860 victims. So 1 .5 billion in a sort of soft agreement 00:07:01.860 --> 00:07:04.720 to not be charged with fraud. Boeing's market 00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:07.519 cap is around 150 billion and they reported about 00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:11.279 15 billion in profit from Q4 2024 alone. But 00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:13.779 notably, if Boeing was actually investigated 00:07:13.779 --> 00:07:16.639 and charged with the fraud that they almost definitely 00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:19.610 did... they would no longer be a viable government 00:07:19.610 --> 00:07:21.889 contractor. We'd have to actually start applying 00:07:21.889 --> 00:07:24.610 standards to our war forges and we cannot have 00:07:24.610 --> 00:07:26.850 that. Let's move on to world stuff. What's up 00:07:26.850 --> 00:07:30.089 France? How's your power? I hope it's back. France 00:07:30.089 --> 00:07:31.990 had been kind of going through it. It got dark 00:07:31.990 --> 00:07:33.930 so they lit some fires. First there were widespread 00:07:33.930 --> 00:07:36.870 power outages in the French Riviera area. That's 00:07:36.870 --> 00:07:40.490 fun to say. French Riviera area. French Riviera 00:07:40.490 --> 00:07:43.829 area. That's fun. Do it. Anyway, there was an 00:07:43.829 --> 00:07:45.949 outage. and they're like what the fuck this seems 00:07:45.949 --> 00:07:48.389 to be like sabotage at a substation the next 00:07:48.389 --> 00:07:51.129 day there was another outage that was more sabotage 00:07:51.129 --> 00:07:54.310 at another substation seems to be arson there's 00:07:54.310 --> 00:07:57.069 no suspect in custody hey don't do that like 00:07:57.069 --> 00:08:00.009 it affected 200 000 people who were just trying 00:08:00.009 --> 00:08:03.529 to exist i i get the impulse to go after infrastructure 00:08:03.529 --> 00:08:06.269 to make a point or whatever i don't know What 00:08:06.269 --> 00:08:08.449 this is or who did this or what their intention 00:08:08.449 --> 00:08:11.470 was but hey don't do that But it's okay because 00:08:11.470 --> 00:08:13.870 as I said they lit fires But not particularly 00:08:13.870 --> 00:08:16.790 close because over in Paris there were celebratory 00:08:16.790 --> 00:08:19.529 riots over a PSG victory It was like a super 00:08:19.529 --> 00:08:21.670 hype and storied victory that I do not have the 00:08:21.670 --> 00:08:23.709 context around but there was a bunch of people 00:08:23.709 --> 00:08:26.399 at the stadium in Paris that were basically live 00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:28.839 streaming the event from from Brussels where 00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:30.920 it was happening and they were winning and they 00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:33.620 won and then riots they're like multiple fires 00:08:33.620 --> 00:08:35.700 a bunch of altercations with cops and apparently 00:08:35.700 --> 00:08:38.419 81 people at least have been arrested and local 00:08:38.419 --> 00:08:41.120 officials were like that's not y 'all are bad 00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:44.059 they called them barbarians a small village of 00:08:44.059 --> 00:08:46.899 just about 300 people in the swiss alps has been 00:08:46.899 --> 00:08:50.480 buried almost entirely in ice and rock the town 00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:55.570 of blatton was flattened oh jesus i That was 00:08:55.570 --> 00:08:58.169 not written. That was not planned. That was literally 00:08:58.169 --> 00:09:01.330 an ad lib I didn't even intend for it and now 00:09:01.330 --> 00:09:03.789 I have to keep it in but that's that's terrible 00:09:03.789 --> 00:09:06.169 and I apologize But I can't change it now. I 00:09:06.169 --> 00:09:08.870 mean I could because like I edit this after I 00:09:08.870 --> 00:09:12.610 record it But that just happened. I can't I have 00:09:12.610 --> 00:09:15.190 to be this is my truth Anyway, this village was 00:09:15.190 --> 00:09:18.450 submerged under rock and ice when a nearby glacier 00:09:18.450 --> 00:09:21.850 in the Alps broke off and caused a massive mudslide 00:09:21.929 --> 00:09:24.850 90 % of the town is just wiped out. Thankfully, 00:09:25.149 --> 00:09:27.929 all 300 residents were evacuated well beforehand, 00:09:28.169 --> 00:09:30.649 thanks to warnings from geological scientists. 00:09:30.950 --> 00:09:32.990 While obviously this is tragic, the support has 00:09:32.990 --> 00:09:35.750 also been swift. There are relief organizations 00:09:35.750 --> 00:09:37.610 on the ground helping to clear out the rubble. 00:09:37.870 --> 00:09:39.590 There are search efforts going on for a missing 00:09:39.590 --> 00:09:41.950 person. There are funds that are being raised 00:09:41.950 --> 00:09:43.789 for the families that lost their homes, and there 00:09:43.789 --> 00:09:46.470 is an intent to rebuild the town. We're just 00:09:46.470 --> 00:09:48.210 waiting on those details. So here's to the people 00:09:48.210 --> 00:09:51.320 of Blatton. I am sorry for the joke. It wasn't 00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:54.679 intentional, but I had to include it. Meanwhile, 00:09:55.059 --> 00:09:58.799 in Gaza, the genocide continues. I don't have 00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:02.220 much more to say on this, but I can't not mention 00:10:02.220 --> 00:10:04.440 it. The US and Israel were supposed to work together 00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:07.039 on a food distribution relief effort, and it 00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:10.360 went as bad as it could have gone. They shot 00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:12.419 at the hungry people who were trying to get food. 00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:14.659 I'm just gonna read this quote from a Gazan resident. 00:10:39.579 --> 00:10:41.759 When asked, Israeli officials said that they 00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:43.899 know nothing about this. because that's what 00:10:43.899 --> 00:10:46.620 they do. There's even reports of an Israeli tank 00:10:46.620 --> 00:10:49.899 firing on crowds trying to seek aid. It's... 00:10:49.899 --> 00:10:52.639 I don't know what else to say, as I said. Barring 00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:55.679 direct third -party intervention, I don't really 00:10:55.679 --> 00:10:57.360 see this changing. And all the while they're 00:10:57.360 --> 00:11:01.220 using our tax dollars and the word of God to 00:11:01.220 --> 00:11:04.220 explain away their crimes. Which I don't, uh, 00:11:04.379 --> 00:11:07.279 agree with as a taxpayer. How about some good 00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:09.019 news? How about some good news? Because I got 00:11:09.019 --> 00:11:11.559 something from Kenya and Germany, and it involves 00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:15.039 our favorite subject, rhinoceros cove. Researchers 00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:17.340 in Germany and Kenya have worked together to 00:11:17.340 --> 00:11:21.059 perform the first successful IVF procedure on 00:11:21.059 --> 00:11:24.100 a rhinoceros. IVF being in vitro fertilization, 00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:28.519 like the artificial fertilization, but on a fucking 00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:30.340 rhino. The reason that they're doing this is 00:11:30.340 --> 00:11:33.059 because the North African white rhino is very 00:11:33.059 --> 00:11:36.539 nearly extinct. There are two. Left in existence 00:11:36.539 --> 00:11:38.620 and both are female so they've been researching 00:11:38.620 --> 00:11:41.019 how to do this on a rhino and they practiced 00:11:41.019 --> 00:11:46.320 on a South white rhino which is Related but is 00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:48.279 not north point is they were practicing on a 00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:50.000 practice rhino before they go to the main event 00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:53.340 But yeah, they just took their frozen male rhino 00:11:53.340 --> 00:11:55.200 sperm that they had in the freezer We've all 00:11:55.200 --> 00:11:56.620 got that somewhere in the back of the freezer 00:11:56.620 --> 00:12:00.679 there and they they just kind of boom Preggers. 00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:02.759 This is a huge conservation breakthrough and 00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:05.059 could actually potentially repopulate a species 00:12:05.059 --> 00:12:08.700 on the brink of extinction from decades of poaching. 00:12:09.700 --> 00:12:13.820 So, yeehaw, yay science, good job. Thanks for 00:12:13.820 --> 00:12:17.460 the cum, rhinoceros. Technology, Texanology. 00:12:17.740 --> 00:12:19.879 Texas has passed a digital privacy law that basically 00:12:19.879 --> 00:12:22.500 says, hey, Google and Apple. Really, anyone who 00:12:22.500 --> 00:12:24.580 runs an app store, so basically Google and Apple. 00:12:24.940 --> 00:12:27.580 you need to stop miners from being able to make 00:12:27.580 --> 00:12:30.519 purchases and download other apps without parental 00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:33.700 consent. This is a very large state doing this, 00:12:33.700 --> 00:12:35.460 and this is not the first time that we've seen 00:12:35.460 --> 00:12:37.580 one of the biggest states in the country just 00:12:37.580 --> 00:12:40.740 kind of make their own digital privacy laws because 00:12:40.740 --> 00:12:43.580 the federal government won't fucking do it. Several 00:12:43.580 --> 00:12:46.399 years back, California made a sort of like similar 00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:49.940 -ish set of laws to what the EU has, kind of, 00:12:49.940 --> 00:12:52.580 but also way watered down, and it's just California. 00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:54.679 But because of that, it essentially was like, 00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:56.940 well, we need to adhere to California's laws. 00:12:57.559 --> 00:12:59.840 So it's functionally, we need to do the work 00:12:59.840 --> 00:13:01.960 anyway. We might as well just support it in all 00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:05.259 the states, et cetera. And so now we've got states 00:13:05.259 --> 00:13:08.299 around the country banning porn or in this case, 00:13:08.460 --> 00:13:10.980 they're banning what certain people can do at 00:13:10.980 --> 00:13:13.480 certain ages on the Internet, which to be clear, 00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:16.139 there's a lot of Americans, about 80 percent, 00:13:16.179 --> 00:13:19.820 agree that something needs to be done about minors 00:13:19.820 --> 00:13:23.710 on social media. But what? We don't really agree 00:13:23.710 --> 00:13:25.629 on why. A large portion of people say that it's 00:13:25.629 --> 00:13:27.169 not up to the state to determine what should 00:13:27.169 --> 00:13:28.769 happen, it's up to the parents, and some people 00:13:28.769 --> 00:13:30.649 say that the state can pass laws that empower 00:13:30.649 --> 00:13:32.309 the parents, and some people say passing any 00:13:32.309 --> 00:13:34.710 laws is an infringement on the rights of the 00:13:34.710 --> 00:13:36.690 teenagers from being able to engage with the 00:13:36.690 --> 00:13:39.309 economy on the internet, as well as speech issues, 00:13:39.450 --> 00:13:42.629 and so on and so forth. It's a very messy subject. 00:13:42.850 --> 00:13:44.370 Not to mention that Congress has been batting 00:13:44.370 --> 00:13:47.169 around things like COSA and other just shitty 00:13:47.169 --> 00:13:50.289 attempts at making actual technology policy. 00:13:50.409 --> 00:13:52.710 It's embarrassing. But what we actually need 00:13:52.710 --> 00:13:54.990 is comprehensive data privacy laws, which we 00:13:54.990 --> 00:13:59.009 can then use to enact the specific needs of communities, 00:13:59.250 --> 00:14:02.330 such as having actual, understood control about 00:14:02.330 --> 00:14:04.850 the relationship between parents, tech companies, 00:14:05.169 --> 00:14:07.690 children, and all of the data generated therein. 00:14:07.889 --> 00:14:09.710 Obviously, tech companies are very much against 00:14:09.710 --> 00:14:11.929 basically anything that requires them to do additional 00:14:11.929 --> 00:14:14.389 work, track additional data, or whatever, and 00:14:14.389 --> 00:14:16.929 they're gonna really sneakily talk about how 00:14:16.929 --> 00:14:18.830 it's an infringement on your rights for them 00:14:18.830 --> 00:14:21.279 to have to collect extra data about for - example, 00:14:21.500 --> 00:14:24.360 your age, which agreed, but they already have 00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:28.980 that information. They're not worried about collecting 00:14:28.980 --> 00:14:31.600 more of your data. They love doing that. They 00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:34.620 have your data. It's a matter of if they're going 00:14:34.620 --> 00:14:37.559 to have their bottom line impacted by preventing 00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:40.779 13 -year -olds from purchasing whatever, almost 00:14:40.779 --> 00:14:42.539 definitely just using their parents' credit card. 00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:47.039 So stay frosty because the tech companies are 00:14:47.039 --> 00:14:49.730 not your friends, speaking of which. If you use 00:14:49.730 --> 00:14:52.269 Gmail, you are now getting an AI summary of your 00:14:52.269 --> 00:14:54.830 emails, whether you like it or not. Fuck boy. 00:14:55.230 --> 00:14:56.629 I don't know why I put the fuck boy in there. 00:14:56.750 --> 00:14:58.769 You're not a fuck boy. You listen to this show. 00:14:58.929 --> 00:15:02.309 That means you're a... I don't know. I don't 00:15:02.309 --> 00:15:05.389 know. Something. Anyway, yeah, so Google is going 00:15:05.389 --> 00:15:07.919 to start rolling out... Email summaries. So in 00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:09.840 long emails and in email threads, they're gonna 00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:12.720 pin an AI generated summary to the top of your 00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:15.100 email. It includes a disclaimer saying that the 00:15:15.100 --> 00:15:17.820 summary is written by Gemini and may contain 00:15:17.820 --> 00:15:21.399 mistakes. May contain mistakes. Here's a product. 00:15:21.620 --> 00:15:23.779 So they are just happily running people's emails 00:15:23.779 --> 00:15:26.620 through their AI without asking them first. It 00:15:26.620 --> 00:15:28.580 used to be that you had to request a summary. 00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:30.860 Now it just happens. You can disable the feature 00:15:30.860 --> 00:15:32.820 in the settings but I would highly encourage 00:15:32.820 --> 00:15:35.240 you to actually go out and explore other email 00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:38.419 providers. I know the idea of switching an email 00:15:38.419 --> 00:15:41.440 provider sounds like hell, and it's not fun, 00:15:41.740 --> 00:15:44.259 but there do exist other providers that aren't 00:15:44.259 --> 00:15:46.820 gonna do this kind of bullshit and actually respect 00:15:46.820 --> 00:15:49.159 you, your data, and your privacy. I've linked 00:15:49.159 --> 00:15:50.740 a little bit of information in the newsletter 00:15:50.740 --> 00:15:53.320 today about this, but the two services I generally 00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:56.299 recommend are Fastmail and Protonmail, and I'll 00:15:56.299 --> 00:15:58.220 link to them in the description. This is not 00:15:58.220 --> 00:16:00.340 sponsored. I just genuinely want people to move 00:16:00.340 --> 00:16:02.820 off of Gmail. Lightning round! The US is looking 00:16:02.820 --> 00:16:05.000 into whether or not the new pope is allowed to 00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:07.559 keep his American citizenship given that he is 00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:11.200 a foreign head of state huh some climber dudes 00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:13.419 in the UK sent the mountaineering world into 00:16:13.419 --> 00:16:16.299 a tizzy after they essentially cheated climbing 00:16:16.299 --> 00:16:19.919 Mount Everest by inhaling xenon gas which is 00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:22.059 apparently like performance enhancing as far 00:16:22.059 --> 00:16:24.539 as acclimating to the environment goes they went 00:16:24.539 --> 00:16:26.940 from London to the peak of Everest back to London 00:16:26.940 --> 00:16:30.279 in a week which is like super record -breaking 00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:32.570 to the point that There's now an investigation. 00:16:32.909 --> 00:16:35.529 In the UK, there was a terrifying car chase where 00:16:35.529 --> 00:16:38.070 cops were chasing down a guy going at 10 miles 00:16:38.070 --> 00:16:41.250 an hour, high speed. He eventually crashed and 00:16:41.250 --> 00:16:43.230 they got him. And finally, for today, big news. 00:16:43.370 --> 00:16:47.830 Cyberpunk 2077 sequel is officially titled Cyberpunk 00:16:47.830 --> 00:16:51.419 2, which makes sense. Hey, it's Pride. It's Pride. 00:16:51.580 --> 00:16:53.840 What's up, Pride? So because it's Pride, instead 00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:56.000 of hawking my merch and Patreon, I'm going to 00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:58.440 ask you if you can hear my voice. Consider making 00:16:58.440 --> 00:17:00.960 a donation to a charity like The Trevor Project, 00:17:01.179 --> 00:17:03.519 an organization of your choice. Or you can just 00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:06.839 go search for some good options that is helping 00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:10.339 to ease the lives of queer people in 2025. Queer 00:17:10.339 --> 00:17:12.200 folks, especially trans folks and especially, 00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:14.779 especially trans children deserve protection, 00:17:15.059 --> 00:17:17.680 support and safety. So here's to all y 'all. 00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:20.700 I'm wishing you a raucous pride. I don't say 00:17:20.700 --> 00:17:23.880 raucous often. Okay. Thank you so much for listening 00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:25.740 to today's episode of Stuff Keeps Happening. 00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:29.099 Head to SKH .News for sources, bonus content, 00:17:29.500 --> 00:17:33.160 and the remainder of those millions of bees that 00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:36.319 I captured myself. My name is Endeavorance. I'll 00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:38.980 be back on Monday. Take care and be well.
