Welcome back to the digital wasteland, fellow survivors. We kick things off in the FOLLOW UP by marking a year since the LA Fires—hello, PTSD—alongside a 4th Strokiversary and three years of sobriety, all while wondering why America is currently obsessed with shooting its own civilians in the face.In the IN THE NEWS segment, Wired is finally teaching us how to protest safely in the age of surveillance, and the EFF is cheering on the hackers fighting ICE's Nazi-adjacent tracking tactics. Meanwhile, Meta is harvesting your AI chats for targeted ads, Disney is paying $10 million for spying on kids, and Grok has spent the holidays generating nonconsensual child abuse material—a problem Elon Musk won't have to legally reckon with until the Take It Down Act hits in May. Instagram's Adam Mosseri has basically surrendered to the AI "slop", suggesting we fingerprint "real" media because the fake stuff has already won the war.As we continue the descent, OpenAI is launching a ChatGPT Health portal despite their "loser energy" and compute limits, while Character.AI and Google are quietly settling lawsuits for bots that encouraged teen suicide. Polymarket gamblers are learning that "decentralized" juries will fist you over the definition of an "invasion" just as fast as a bank. Uber showed off a new Lucid-based robotaxi, but we're pumping the brakes on the safety hype given that autonomous vehicles are five times more likely to crash at dusk. To wrap up the news, Tim Cook took home $74 million last year, which is a lot of "systematic philanthropy" he could be doing right now instead of just writing checks to his own ego.In MEDIA CANDY, we're suffering through the Stranger Things wrap-up and a John McTiernan holiday marathon, though the real highlight is MTV Rewind's tribute to music videos. We've got Traitors, The Pitt, and even a John Candy doc on the list, while APPS & DOODADS brings us the DJI Osmo 8, Victrola's turntable-vibrating speakers. At least California's DROP tool lets you purge your data from 500 brokers at once.Finally, we go to THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE to hear Dave Bittner rant about holiday tech support, health insurance gouging, and Dave Filoni taking the Star Wars reins. We close out with a look at ILM's 50th, the deepfake porn cesspool formerly known as Twitter, and a birthday toast to the Starman himself, David Bowie.Sponsors:CleanMyMac - Get Tidy Today!

Today's Headlines: In Portland, Customs and Border Patrol agents shot two people during a vehicle stop — both were hospitalized, the FBI is now on scene, and DHS says it was “targeted.”  In Minneapolis, the Trump administration continues to fully defend the ICE officer who killed Renee Good. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announced the FBI is taking over the investigation, cutting Minnesota out of access to its own evidence, while insisting the officer followed his training. Governor Tim Walz pushed back hard, accusing ICE of raiding a nearby school and using chemical agents on school grounds, forcing closures and prompting him to warn protesters to stay peaceful as the administration appears eager to escalate. Vice President JD Vance then took the podium to claim the ICE officer has absolute immunity, shame the media for portraying Good as innocent, and argue the officer's past injury explains his behavior. Public pressure is starting to land: Avelo Airlines is cutting ties with ICE and shutting down its Arizona base, while Hilton dropped a Minneapolis-area franchise after it refused to host ICE agents. The Epstein saga keeps unraveling, with House Oversight approving subpoenas for Les Wexner and Epstein's estate executors, and lawmakers pushing for a special master to force DOJ compliance on the files. On Venezuela, Trump has sidelined intelligence chief Tulsi Gabbard, Senate Republicans advanced a War Powers resolution to curb further military action, and Trump responded by calling for those senators to be voted out. Elsewhere in chaos, Trump floated buying $200 billion in mortgage bonds, Warner Bros. rejected Paramount again in favor of Netflix, the White House may add an entire story to the West Wing for “symmetry,” and the UK is openly considering banning X over Grok-generated deepfake porn.

Jared and Mike scramble the jets to accommodate the horror in Minneapolis, coming to terms with the culture that makes opponents of MAGA expendable in the eyes of the regime and its propagandists. They pivot to another Minneapolis story, Nick Shirley and his age gap content co-creator, who recently started ringing doorbells looking for a place to drop off their “Little Joey.” The hosts also talk about Grok's revenge porn update, Curtis Yarvin's objectively weird rant about Hitler, and learn that a lathered up Stephen Miller really wants to go to war now. Come on in, the water's awful.Fundraiser for the family of Renee Nicole Good: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-for-renee-goods-wife-and-sonListen to the full episode on Patreon: http://patreon.com/PostingThroughIt

Welcome to a milestone episode of Data Driven! In episode 400, hosts BAILeY, Frank La Vigne, and Andy Leonard gather to reflect on nearly a decade at the forefront of podcasting about data, AI, and the world of software engineering. This special edition takes you behind the scenes with stories of tech evolution, personal growth, and the wild journey from their earliest recordings to today's AI-powered workflows.The team digs into how generative AI has transformed their creative process—making it possible for small teams to produce vast amounts of content, drive innovation, and manage multiple podcasts at a high level. You'll hear about Frank's latest tool, Podsy—a platform built to help creators manage the ever-growing tsunami of podcast assets using cutting-edge AI—and how tools like Claude, Grok, and Opus are unleashing new possibilities for automation and storytelling.With their signature tangents, candid stories (including car accidents, water heater mishaps, and parenting milestones), and a bit of nostalgia about the early days of podcasting, this episode captures what makes Data Driven both insightful and relatable. If you're a developer, data professional, or a fellow podcaster looking to stay ahead of the curve, episode 400 is packed with practical lessons, inspiration, and a few good laughs. Dive in as the team celebrates what's possible in the age of AI—and look ahead to an exciting new chapter for the show!Time stamps00:00 "DGX Spark: Personal AI Supercomputer"03:28 "Tech Innovations and Hardware Updates"07:51 "Daily 5:40am Notification Routine"11:10 "Podzi: Managing Podcast Assets"15:35 "Boosting Value with AI Efficiency"17:05 Claude Enhanced Legacy System23:32 AI Impact on Creative Roles25:58 "Consulting Break: Investing Time"29:33 "Automation Evolution and Tools Demo"31:35 "Podsy Studio: A Journey"35:06 "AI-Powered Content Creation Demo"38:26 "Podcast Organization and Insights"42:10 "Streamlining Metadata for Insights"45:47 "Unveiling AI's Hidden Potential"50:41 "Celebrating 400 Podcast Episodes"54:41 "Off Track Ambitions"57:44 "Reality Strikes Back: Tech Trust"59:36 "Podsy Progress and Workflow"

Story 1: Despite being one of the most prosperous nations in the world, over 70% of Americans are obese or overweight, with a similar number having chronic health issues. Where did we go wrong? Host of FOX Nation's ‘Toxic: America's Food Crisis' Jillian Michaels sits down with Will to explain how corporate interests manufactured America's current obesity crisis, and what she thinks of the “MAHA” movement's efforts to address it. Story 2: Just when you thought Minnesota's Somali fraud scandal couldn't get any worse, Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL) joins Will to share the latest from today's House Oversight Committee's hearing on the scandal, explaining how Minnesota lawmakers not only allowed billions of dollars of fraud to occur right under their noses, but actively worked to silence whistleblowers and sweep the story under the rug. Story 3: Will and The Crew react to Grok's interpretation of Tinfoil Pat as a “6'5 Adonis” and President Donald Trump sharing First Lady Melania Trump's issues with his YMCA dance.   Subscribe to ‘Will Cain Country' on YouTube here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch Will Cain Country!⁠⁠⁠ Follow ‘Will Cain Country' on X (⁠⁠⁠@willcainshow⁠⁠⁠), Instagram (⁠⁠⁠@willcainshow⁠⁠⁠), TikTok (⁠⁠⁠@willcainshow⁠⁠⁠), and Facebook (⁠⁠⁠@willcainnews⁠⁠⁠) Follow Will on X: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@WillCain⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

January Effect - The January Effect is a market phenomenon where stock prices—especially small-cap stocks—tend to rise more in January than in other months. - Tax-loss selling in December: Investors often sell losing positions at year-end to offset capital gains for tax purposes. - Reinvestment in January: After the new year, they buy back stocks, creating upward pressure. - Bonus and cash inflows: Year-end bonuses and new investment allocations often hit the market in January. - Small-caps up almost 3% YTD Impressive - Investors fortunate enough to own Berkshire since 1965, when Buffett took over, realized a return of about 6,100,000%, far above the S&P 500's approximately 46,000% return including dividends. - Buffett is now officially retired - said to be one (or the) greatest investors of our time - Buffett, 95, will remain chairman and plans to keep going every day to Berkshire's office in Omaha, Nebraska, about 2 miles (3.2 km) east of his home, and help Abel. - They still have not completely figured out who will run the equity portfolio after Todd Combs left to join JPM Kitchen Cabinet Relief - Steep tariffs on upholstered furniture and kitchen cabinets and vanities have been delayed by the Trump administration. - It's the latest roller coaster of Trump's tariff wars since he returned to office last year. - The administration is also scaling back on a steep tariff proposed on Italian pasta that would have put the rate at 107%. Let's talk Venezuela - The idea that the US is just going to come in an turn everything rosy is dumb - overly simplistic thesis --- Sets up a bad global potential for overthrowing governments - where does it stop - The idea that US companies are going to go in there and drill and US is going to reimburse for costs? --- The country is allied with Russia and China - not US (at this time) - This is reminiscent of when we opened the doors to Cuba - we opened it up and no one benefited. Maybe this time will be different. - BUT Venezuela owns the largest proven oil reserves in the world, holding approximately 303 billion barrels as of the end of 2024, which is nearly 18–19% of global reserves. So, that is something. VZ Oil Production Drug Price Hikes - Drugmakers plan to raise U.S. prices on at least 350 branded medications including vaccines against COVID, RSV and shingles and blockbuster cancer treatment Ibrance, even as the Trump administration pressures them for cuts - The number of price increases for 2026 is up from the same point last year, when drugmakers unveiled plans for raises on more than 250 drugs. The median of this year's price hikes is around 4% - in line with 2025. -Drugmakers also plan to cut the list prices on around nine drugs.

Gary & Shannon kick off #SwampWatch with the day’s biggest political headlines, including a sudden death of a California Republican lawmaker and President Trump’s latest midterm warnings. The conversation then turns to pop culture and human behavior, from the 1000-Lb. Sisters and modern weight-loss journeys to the darker side of new technology after X’s AI tool Grok is linked to disturbing misuse, reigniting a debate over whether any new tool will inevitably be abused. Shannon shares her plan to bring holy water to sporting events after a miraculous missed field goal before the show dives into growing backlash over grocery stores using facial recognition technology. The hour wraps with a broader, unfiltered discussion about human nature, sex, technology, sports superstition, and why people, especially at theme parks, just can’t seem to behave.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
