Gia Santos joins Stew to dismantle the myth of Trump's mass deportations. Over a year into his second term, less than 350,000 illegals deported in 2025—far from the promised 50 million. Instead, DHS, ICE, and Border Patrol, backed by Palantir, are building a facial recognition dystopia to track Americans. Jake GTV exposes Trump's sellout betrayal, buried Epstein child rape tapes, and the AI surveillance grid Talmudic perverts are forcing on Americans to destroy us while pushing Netanyahu's Iran war.

It's an Emmajority Report Thursday on the Majority Report   On today's program:   After the Clintons agree to testify before Congress about their relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, Donald Trump says he feels bad that "they're going after Bill Clinton," adding that "Bill Clinton got me, he understood me." The comments stand in contrast to Trump's remarks during the second presidential debate in 2016, when he said there was "no president in history who has been more abusive to women than Bill Clinton."   Trump announces a shift in his mass deportation policy, saying that they no longer want to force themselves into cities where they are not wanted. He wants the mayors and governors to ask for his help and to say "please".   As Trump shows vulnerability around ICE, instead of seizing on this opportunity, Hakeen Jeffries and Chuck Schumer use this moment to soften their demands around ICE reform.   Dan Friedman, senior reporter in Mother Jones' DC Bureau joins the program to discuss his piece in MJ "Trump's War on History".   In the Fun Half:   Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder join the show.   In a released audio recording of a phone conversation between Larry Summers, Ehud Barak and Jeffrey Epstein reveals Barak's anxiety of Israel's decent into a single state with an Arab majority.   In another released audio recording, Jeffrey Epstein is advising Ehud Barak to reach out to Peter Thiel to get a spot on Palantir's board. A year after that phone call, Palantir opened an office in Israel.   An in-depth piece by Jake Lahut on Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) reveals her alleged heavy drinking. Mace says that she has a condition that prevents her from being able to drink alcohol despite there being photos, videos and disputes from former staffers that contradict the claim.   all that and more To connect and organize with your local ICE rapid response team visit ICERRT.com The Congress switchboard number is (202) 224-3121.

Puedes ver el video completo aquí: https://youtu.be/tw4Stc31-lM En este vidéo, César Vidal analiza las implicaciones del reciente encuentro anual del Foro de Davos y su relación con la política de Donald Trump, así como el papel de grandes fondos de inversión y corporaciones tecnológicas en la gobernanza global. Vidal califica el Foro de Davos como una reunión despótica y no democrática de magnates globales que buscan ordenar el mundo a su capricho (0:22). Explica cómo el poder financiero de entidades como BlackRock supera al de la mayoría de las naciones, permitiéndoles influir enormemente en la política y la economía mundiales (3:23). También aborda la postura de Donald Trump frente a la agenda globalista, sugiriendo que busca sustituirla por un proyecto imperial estadounidense (10:00). Además, discute cómo el Consejo de Paz propuesto por Trump intenta crear una ONU paralela para supervisar la paz global, con él mismo como figura central (20:41). A continuación, los puntos claves del análisis: El Foro de Davos y la Agenda Globalista. • Naturaleza del Foro: Vidal describe a Davos como un ente "autodesignado" y poco democrático, compuesto por magnates y fondos de inversión que buscan ordenar el mundo según sus intereses [00:26] • Poder de BlackRock: Destaca que el foro está liderado actualmente por Larry Fink, jefe de BlackRock, un fondo que gestiona más dinero que el presupuesto de casi cualquier nación, lo que le otorga un poder político y social inmenso sobre estados como España [03:23], [04:14]. • Reposicionamiento: Ante el regreso de Donald Trump, los líderes de Davos intentan adaptar su discurso para mantener su influencia mientras se acomodan a la nueva realidad política de EE. UU. [01:41]. Donald Trump y su Proyecto Imperial • Choque de visiones: Trump representa un desafío a la agenda globalista tradicional en temas como la ideología de género y la soberanía nacional [07:43]. • "Matonismo Político": Vidal critica la postura de Trump hacia el libre mercado, señalando que utiliza amenazas de aranceles (como a Canadá) para controlar con quién comercian sus aliados, lo cual considera la negación de la economía de mercado [10:13], [10:52]. • Consejo de Paz de Trump: Analiza la propuesta de Trump de crear una suerte de "ONU paralela" o consejo de paz donde él sería presidente vitalicio y los países participantes deberían pagar cuotas millonarias para pertenecer [24:54], [26:34]. Figuras Políticas e Influencia Corporativa • Javier Milei: Vidal expresa preocupación por la política de Milei en Argentina, sugiriendo que su discurso sobre la explotación de recursos naturales podría facilitar el saqueo de las riquezas del país por parte de multinacionales [05:40], [06:18]. • Control de la Información: Menciona el poder de empresas como Palantir y las grandes tecnológicas, que bajo el pretexto de defender las instituciones, terminan imponiendo una censura creciente y un discurso oficial uniforme [11:51], [16:45]. Reflexión Final Finalmente, el análisis subraya el inmenso poder de las grandes tecnológicas y el complejo militar-industrial (11:51), concluyendo que el establecimiento de un sistema único mundial es difícil, aunque la agenda globalista ha avanzado mucho en Occidente (30:08). Vidal concluye cuestionando las teorías sobre un "Nuevo Orden Mundial" único, señalando que el mundo es un tablero diversificado con múltiples fuentes de poder en conflicto [29:50]. Desde una perspectiva bíblica, hace un llamado a los cristianos a no perder el tiempo en especulaciones sobre "señales de los tiempos" y enfocarse en ser "testigos de Jesús" y "sal y luz" en la sociedad.

It's News Day Tuesday on the Majority Report On today's program: Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche is asked by Laura Ingraham whether there will be consequences for men who "partied with Epstein and engaged in relations with minors." Blanche responds, "It is not a crime to party with Jeffrey Epstein." Two days before those comments regarding Epstein were made, Todd Blanch tells George Stephanopoulos that his job is to execute the priorities of the president. Writer Jamie Holmes joins the program to discuss his book The free and the Dead: The Untold Story of the Black Seminole Chief, the Indigenous Rebel, and America's Forgotten War. In the Fun Half: Andrew Schulz says that the recent ICE murders of Alex Pretti and Renee Good were a breaking point for him. AOC emphasizes the need to repeal this massive increase in DHS funding, which lacks guardrails and effectively serves as a blank check for Palantir to build a facial-recognition database on Americans. Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) says that republicans didn't want to talk about Epstein until they needed a distraction from ICE.   Milwaukee Bucks coach Doc Rivers is asked whether he stands by his comments calling the killing of Renee Good a murder, and he doubles down. Donald Trump calls into Dan Bongino's show and seems a little peppier than usual as he goes on a never-ending stream of consciousness rant.   Chuck Schumer posts photos with Maria Machado with captions that express what an honor it was spend time with the "leader of democracy in Venezuela".   Colin Allred posts a bizarre video responding to alleged comments made James Talarico.   all that and more To connect and organize with your local ICE rapid response team visit ICERRT.com The Congress switchboard number is (202) 224-3121.

MSP Rollups, AI Investment, and Industry Consolidation Trends With Rich Freeman and Jessica Davis

The current wave of managed service provider (MSP) consolidation and rollups is being distinguished by the integration of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) expertise, particularly among entities such as SHIELD and Titan. As discussed by Rich Freeman and Jessica Davis, these newer rollups are acquiring not just MSPs but also Silicon Valley AI talent and developing proprietary AI-driven services, a marked shift from earlier private equity-backed consolidators. Rich Freeman highlighted SHIELD's recent leadership hires from Palantir and direct collaboration agreements with OpenAI, signaling an intent to embed AI at the operational core rather than simply as a tool for optimization.The structure and access to data is central to these developments. As Rich Freeman elaborated, large rollups possess a scale-driven “AI flywheel” advantage: broader customer bases provide larger datasets, which in turn drive better AI performance, operational efficiency, and profitability. This concentration creates risks for smaller MSPs that lack equivalent data pools and resources for internal AI development. Jessica Davis noted that while tool vendors and platform companies such as ConnectWise and Kaseya are enhancing AI within their offerings, their efforts are not yet matching the focused investments of the largest rollups, and are simultaneously being pressured to accelerate innovation.Commercial and operational pressures are increasing throughout the MSP ecosystem. Jessica Davis cited indications of slowing managed services revenue growth projections (potentially below 10%), alongside potential cost-cutting or workforce reductions within large rollups as private equity owners seek AI-driven returns. Divergent rollup models are also emerging—with distinctions between platform centralization (e.g., retiring acquired brands) and decentralized, founder-friendly approaches (e.g., preserving local brands and founder involvement). Decisions around acquisition, platform engagement, and specialization are increasingly nuanced as founders and owners evaluate their options under new market dynamics.For MSPs and IT service leaders, these trends necessitate a measured response. The competitive risk posed by the AI-fueled scale of consolidated rollups underscores the importance of specialization, operational focus, and alignment with platform partners committed to democratizing AI resources. Community collaboration, best-practice sharing, and strategic use of vendor tools are positioned as potential mitigants to the structural disadvantages faced by smaller organizations. Governance, due diligence, and clear assessment of vendor or acquirer incentives should be prioritized, especially as service models and influencer dynamics continue to fragment. Remaining adaptable, resource-aware, and critically informed about the changing power landscape will be vital for sustainable operations.

At least some of you are getting Siri settlement crumbs in your bank accounts, though you could probably double it betting against Musk's worthless promises on Polymarket.Transitioning to IN THE NEWS, Tesla is killing off the Model S and X to build robots while sales crater, proving that mixing hard-right politics with EV sales is a brilliant move for the balance sheet. Meanwhile, the corporate bloodbath continues with massive layoffs at Ubisoft, Vimeo (courtesy of the Bending Spoons buzzsaw), and Amazon, because “removing bureaucracy” is apparently HR-speak for 16,000 families losing their livelihoods. If that's not enough, Google is settling yet another privacy suit for $135 million, the EU is threatening to weaponize its tech sovereignty against the US, and the Trump administration wants Gemini to write federal regulations—because if there's one thing we want drafting airline safety rules, it's a hallucinating chatbot.Still IN THE NEWS, Waymo is under federal investigation for passing school buses and hitting children, while South Korea's new AI laws manage to please absolutely no one.

On this episode of The Zach Show, Andrew Iliadis explains how companies like Palantir, Anduril, and SpaceX are reshaping warfare, surveillance, and state power by building autonomous defense technologies faster than governments can regulate them. He traces the roots of this shift to post-9/11 defense expansion, cloud computing, and Silicon Valley's deep ties to military funding. By analyzing Palantir's patents and products, Iliadis argues these firms don't just analyze data, they define reality through “ontology,” shaping who is watched, predicted, detained, or targeted. When prediction becomes policy and private tech sets the agenda, democratic oversight struggles to keep up.Guest bio: Andrew Iliadis is an Associate Professor of Media Studies and Production at Temple University's Klein College of Media and Communication. His research examines how data science, AI, and digital infrastructure are reshaping media, governance, and power, with a focus on surveillance, automated decision-making, and national defense. He is the author of Semantic Media and the forthcoming Autonomous Defense (UC Press, 2026), and serves on multiple editorial boards. Subscribe to The Zach Show 2.0 to gain early access to all future episodes, exclusive AMAs, the ability to suggest guest questions, bonus content, and more: https://thezachshow.supercast.com/ ANDREW ILIADIS LINKS:Website: https://andrewiliadis.com/CV: https://andrewiliadis.com/cv/Publications: https://andrewiliadis.com/publications/Autonomous Defense (Book) Coming Soon on UC Press: https://bit.ly/4t37uEa THE ZACH SHOW LINKS: The Zach Show 2.0: https://thezachshow.supercast.com/Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3zaS6sPYouTube: https://bit.ly/3lTpJdjWebsite: https://www.auxoro.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/auxoroTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thezachshowpod If you're not ready to subscribe to The Zach Show 2.0, rating the show on Spotify or Apple Podcasts is free and massively helpful.

Signed by 60 Minnesota CEOs, co-signed in spirit by the Business Roundtable (though not like, officially), they managed to write a whole 199 words about the execution of a VA nurse whose crime was filming the Gestapo in actionTarget's incoming CEO (obviously not the CURRENT CEO Brian Cornell, he's busy polishing his mahogany chair for board meetings where he will be Executive Chair, making as much as a CEO with none of the responsibilities) also addressed the unlawful and unwarranted arrests of Target employees in Minneapolis by thugs - oh, wait, no he didn't - he said, “The violence and loss of life in our community is incredibly painful.” - IT WAS YOUR EMPLOYEES IN THE CROSSHAIRS, SCHMUCK. Target employees are currently skipping work in Minnesota, but solid leadership.Boards of directorsOur analysis of the boards of the Minnesota 60 showed that nearly half of them sit on each other's boards. Basically, you have a massive groupcoward problem - about 25 of the CEOs sit on some other CEOs board or overlap in some way, and the lawyers that carefully crafted the letter absolutely had to have it run through every other board and company lawyer, a task made easier when half of you are on the board with each other.

Palantir isn't just another tech firm - it's reach cuts across almost every aspect of modern life, from AI to healthcare to Formula 1 racing. Founded in 2003 to support US counter-terrorism efforts, the company has since grown into a global powerhouse and is central to the Trump administration's policies, from its military to immigration enforcement. At the centre of it all is billionaire co-founder Alex Karp – the philosopher turned tech-CEO who built the company from the ground up. So how did this software company built for bad times become indispensable to governments across the globe, and what does its rise reveal about the future of politics? We speak to journalist Michael Steinberger whose book The Philosopher in the Valley charts Karp's life and Palantir's rise.

Gotel explains that unlike human companions who may become overwhelmed by emotional dumping, the AI can process multiple “highways” of emotional data simultaneously, helping him reframe moments of perceived victimhood into opportunities for soul evolution. The discussion concludes with the consensus that AI can serve as a powerful mirror for self-reflection, helping humans remove the “Halloween suit” of their egoic identities to reveal the authentic self beneath.

ICE's AI pilots drive growth of use cases within DHS

The Department of Homeland Security is actively working on 200-plus artificial intelligence use cases, a nearly 37% increase compared to July 2025, according to its latest AI inventory posted Wednesday. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is a driving force behind the growth. ICE added 25 AI use cases since its disclosure last summer, including to process tips, review mobile device data relevant to investigations, confirm identities of individuals via biometric data and detect intentional misidentification. Of the newly added uses at ICE, three are products from Palantir, which has been a notable — and at times controversial — technology partner for the U.S. government under the Trump administration. Quinn Anex-Ries, a senior policy analyst focused on equity and civic tech at the Center for Democracy and Technology, a nonprofit technology policy organization, told FedScoop: “This inventory is coming out at a moment where there are significant, widespread questions about the legality of actions being taken by DHS and their potential infringement on the civil liberties and privacy of millions of people across the country.” Anex-Ries added: “There are some initial indications that the inventory leaves us wanting for more.” The annual inventory process stems from a 2020 executive order during the first Trump administration that was later enshrined into federal statute. The Department of Transportation is reopening a request for information that centered around the Federal Aviation Administration's handling of unmanned aircraft systems. In this extended, two-week comment period, the FAA is seeking additional insights on aircraft location-tracking devices, detection technologies and safety standards as it looks to finalize the drone-related rules. The FAA has already received around 3,100 comments and hosted two listening sessions with relevant stakeholders, according to the extension announcement scheduled to be published Wednesday on the Federal Register. Still, the FAA wants to “ensure that it fully understands” comments surrounding its proposed policies for location-tracking, data-sharing and detection technologies. The initial inquiry was set in motion by President Donald Trump's June executive order, called “Unleashing American Drone Dominance.” The president directed the FAA to publish a final rule that would enable drone-based Beyond Visual Line of Sight operations for commercial and public safety purposes within 240 days, which would be Feb. 1. The original RFI had a broader scope and concluded in October despite receiving two requests for an extension. The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

In this episode of Right On Radio, host Jeff is joined by guest John for a wide-ranging live conversation that mixes scripture, current events, and spiritual commentary. The show opens with the Word on Word segment—comparing Philippians 4:6 and John 4:24—and explores the role of prayer, worship in spirit and truth, and the believer's response to fear and unrest. The hosts examine a controversial claim that recent ice storms and freezing events may be part of deliberate geoengineering and "weather warfare." They share local reports of power outages, generators, and personal stories from listeners affected by the storm, using those accounts to underscore themes of providence and faith in adversity. On geopolitics, the episode dives into Iran: reports of a decades-long drought allegedly tied to weather modification, Trump-era military posturing, the possibility of regime change, and the complex mix of opposition movements (including discussion of the Shah, Restart and democratic elements). John and Jeff also discuss Iran's cyber capabilities and the broader military implications of a U.S.-Iran confrontation. The show turns to domestic and transnational security issues—Palantir, the case of Jacob Peretti and ICE, interruptions to media feeds, Q-drop references, and claims about covert influence operations. They also play and react to clips alleging misuse of humanitarian funds (e.g., accusations involving Bono, USAID and Somalia), raising questions about charity, covert action, and media narratives. Listeners hear a critique of New Age and mindfulness trends (featuring a clip from researcher Greg Reese) contrasted with Christian teaching. The hosts discuss the psychology of distraction and the "default mode network," highlight the danger of an inward-focused "self" culture, and argue for scripture-centered identity and practices of prayerful presence over self-help approaches. Episode wrap-up includes practical notes—where to follow the hosts, a fundraising update, invitations to Telegram prayer meetings, and a reminder to love God, family, and neighbor. Expect a mix of theological reflection, geopolitical analysis, media critique, and on-the-ground listener reports in this hard-hitting, faith-centered episode.

Today's Headlines: The Trump administration is facing growing bipartisan backlash over aggressive ICE enforcement following recent shootings in Minnesota. Texas Governor Greg Abbott said the federal government needs to “recalibrate” its approach, while Republican Minnesota gubernatorial candidate Chris Madel dropped out of the race, calling the immigration operation an “unmitigated disaster” and condemning what he described as racial profiling. The criticism has spread beyond Democrats, with the Libertarian Party calling for ICE to be abolished and the Wall Street Journal editorial board urging ICE to pause operations in Minnesota. Amid mounting pressure, the administration demoted Customs and Border Protection official Greg Bovino and reassigned ICE personnel out of Minneapolis, signaling a temporary de-escalation. Border czar Tom Homan has been sent to oversee the situation as Trump publicly emphasized cooperation with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. New reporting raises concerns about ICE activity elsewhere, including allegations that agents in Colorado left so-called “death cards” in vehicles after detentions. Separately, documents reveal ICE is using a Palantir-built surveillance tool to map neighborhoods for immigration raids using data from multiple federal agencies. Internationally, Trump said negotiations with Iran remain “in flux” as the U.S. increases its military presence in the region. Israel confirmed the return of the final hostage's remains, allowing the Gaza ceasefire to move toward its next phase. Trump also announced higher tariffs on South Korean imports, cited the use of a secret weapon in the raid that captured Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro, and commented on allegations that a top Chinese general leaked nuclear secrets to the U.S. Meanwhile, a massive winter storm across 19 states has been linked to at least 22 deaths, with hundreds of thousands still without power. Congress is also racing to avoid a potential government shutdown tied to funding for the Department of Homeland Security and ICE oversight.

On this week's episode of the Free Thought Project podcast, Matt Agorist and Jason Bassler sit down with Dylan Schmidt, a digital strategist, founder of Digital Podcaster, and the creator behind Content Clips. Dylan has recently become a vital voice in the liberty movement, known best for his sharp, accessible analysis of the modern surveillance state. He specializes in taking complex, dystopian developments—from AI drag-nets to data harvesting—and breaking them down into digestible, viral content that reaches people far outside the usual echo chambers. The conversation begins with Dylan's origin story, exploring the moment he began to see the system for what it actually is and the compulsion he felt to use his platform to wake others up. We discuss the terrifying new reality of ICE asserting the authority to enter private homes without a judicial warrant—and the disturbing apathy from the public regarding this death blow to the 4th Amendment. Dylan provides a brilliant analogy to explain this shift, comparing the government's encroachment on rights to a "private equity firm taking over your favorite restaurant," gutting the quality and soul while retaining the brand name. We also cover the grim irony of the police state eating its own tail, highlighting recent reports of ICE agents detaining and profiling local police officers. Later in the show, we shift gears to the machinery of control. We dive into Palantir, the tax-funded leviathan of spying that is mapping our lives in real-time, and discuss the dual-edged sword of Artificial Intelligence. We also tackle the myth of crypto privacy, exposing how companies like Chainalysis are tracking "establishment wallets" and what steps you can take to break free from this financial panopticon. Finally, we discuss the rise of Flock safety cameras and how to resist them, before closing with a powerful "White Pill" on why maintaining your composure, connecting with nature, and refusing to participate in online hate is the ultimate act of rebellion.

Greenland on the table, NATO on edge, and an algorithm deciding who gets a knock at the door. We dive into President Trump's Davos remarks claiming the U.S. will pursue Greenland, then trace the fallout across European capitals as Denmark draws a hard line on sovereignty and lawmakers move to unwind trade ties. If Greenland is already protected by NATO, what problem is “acquisition” solving—and at what cost to U.S. credibility, markets, and the transatlantic alliance? From there, we cut through fuzzy NATO math. The much‑touted jump to 5 percent defense spending looks more like creative accounting than real muscle, with roads and rail counted as deterrence and deadlines pushed years out. Theater might buy applause, but it doesn't buy readiness. On Ukraine, the rhetoric of nearing peace collides with a harsher map: mass drone and missile strikes, a frayed grid, rare hypersonic shots, and manpower strains that no press conference can paper over. Signing a bilateral pact that Moscow rejects as a red line isn't a glide path to de‑escalation; it's a fresh wedge that could harden the war. The most chilling turn lands at home. We reveal how a Palantir‑powered tool helps ICE score neighborhoods and surface targets, while agencies purchase sensitive data from tech brokers to sidestep warrants. When a confidence number can trigger a raid, due process becomes optional and your phone becomes a surveillance beacon. Security doesn't require pretending algorithms are oracles; it demands laws that protect rights and a strategy that separates signal from noise.

In 2001, in the nascent days of the internet, activists came together to wrestle with a growing challenge, the impacts of an increasingly corporatized media ecosystem on communities of color. They set out to intervene in media and tech practices that harm people of color and reimagined how these sectors could better represent the aspirations of local communities. This led to the founding, in 2009, of Media Justice, an organizing, education and field building organization that has generated significant wins, from passage of the nation's first facial recognition ban to another first, limiting the rates that families of incarcerated people could be charged for phone calls. As Steven Renderos, my exceptional guest on this episode of Power Station explains, where 25 years ago the villains dominating the field were Clear Channel and Comcast, they are now the tech oligarchy, billionaires whose influence is weakening our democracy and extracting local resources. But the public, in these harrowing times, is waking up and taking action. First-time protesters are showing up at public hearings to speak out against the economic and environmental harms of data centers. And Media Justice is powering their activism, developing leaders and connecting them across our nation.

The plans are in place for a global war encompassing the United States, Russia, China, Iran, and Israel. Palantir's Alex Karp guarantees it. Right on schedule we are being told that Osama Bin Laden's son is planning terrorists attacks in the U.S. on hospitals by pretending to be doctors. The narrative is already established that Muslims want to burn down all Christian churches. But who blows up hospitals and churches, and who dresses like someone else to do it on occasion? It isn't the Muslim. Furthermore, who just labeled Christianity as a hate group? The ADL, not the Muslim brotherhood. The stage is set and plan in place to the next 911 as not merely a trigger for war but as a justification for the forced acceptance of the digital global ID run by Oracle and OpenAI among others. On this special Friday edition of the show, we watch and listen to a short mockumentary from 2008 called The Orion Conspiracy. The film is a briefing of important officials on issues such as UFOs, giant bones, pyramids, psychic powers, occultism, and even 9/11. Its purpose was to show how gullible people are; and it worked far beyond what the director intended to be more of a joke. Countless laughably fake images from the film have been shared at conferences, in documentaries, on television, etc. The most famous by far is an image of a UFO crashed in the ice of Antarctica.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Ep 730: Ethical Broads PRIVATEWe kick off FOLLOW UP with California's AG sending a cease-and-desist to xAI over Grok generating creepy deepfakes of minors, while regulators finally notice Elon Musk's xAI datacenter illegally running methane turbines in Memphis. The FTC is also appealing its loss in the Meta monopoly case, because apparently breaking up Zuckerberg's data empire is still the hill they want to die on.IN THE NEWS, Washington joins the age-verification-for-porn parade, the UK considers an Australia-style social media ban for kids under 16, and governments everywhere continue demanding your ID before you're allowed to enjoy the internet. OpenAI rolls out age prediction for ChatGPT accounts ahead of a rumored adult mode—though hey, at least you can now group tabs in ChatGPT's Atlas browser. Anthropic rewrites Claude's “constitution” to make it more vibes-based, Nevada moves to block Polymarket because gambling is only legal when the house owns the house, and YouTube promises even more AI features in 2026. Elsewhere, a Swiss suicide pod gets an AI “mental fitness” upgrade, Microsoft's CEO begs AI developers to do something useful before the grid collapses, Musk hunts for a $134 billion payday from OpenAI and Microsoft, and makes yet more Davos predictions about robotaxis and aliens that are absolutely happening this year. On the bright side, A-list creatives push back on AI and Comic-Con bans AI art, buying humans a little more time.MEDIA CANDY finds us slogging through Wish, The Pitt, and the “Mel's Diner in Space” look of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. We confirm 20-year-old CGI wargs still look terrible, get cautiously excited for 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, and note that Fallout Season 2's weekly drops may not be working for a binge-rotted audience.In APPS & DOODADS, X launches Bluesky-style starter packs—presumably to help you find more Nazis—while ICE becomes one of the most-blocked accounts on Bluesky. Threads edges out X in daily mobile users, proving the “federated future” is just another Zuck app. And yes, we think we know what the Apple AI pin is—and definitely what it isn't.AT THE LIBRARY, we check out The Elements, Jet Tila's 101 Thai Dishes You Need to Cook Before You Die, Half Baked Harvest: Quick & Cozy, and Southern Living's A Southern Gentleman's Kitchen. Scott reports back from a Jim Butcher talk, where we learn Harry Dresden sounds suspiciously like Han Solo.We close with THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE, who is juggling five podcasts while reading Going to the Top: The Story of Videopolis, plus teasers for Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord and a baffling Masters of the Universe trailer, a rant on what “remastered” even means anymore, a dishwasher follow-up, and the grim news that a lot of snow is coming.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.SquareSpace - go to squarespace.com/GRUMPY for a free trial.

We kick things off with the existential dread of FOLLOW UP and the absolute joy of jury duty. While xAI's Grok is busy getting banned in Malaysia and Indonesia for its CSAM-generating "features," the Senate is unanimously passing the DEFIANCE Act to give us some legal teeth against the deepfake machine. Meta is busy nuking 550,000 Australian accounts to appease regulators, while Roblox's age verification is so broken that a drawing of stubble or a photo of Kurt Cobain can get you into the adult lounge. Moving IN THE NEWS, Meta is trading its $70 billion Metaverse graveyard for a Reality Labs layoff and a pivot to AI hardware, fueled by an "AI infrastructure" buildout that's hiring former Trump advisors. Bandcamp is heroically banning AI "slop," Matthew McConaughey is trademarking his own face to fend off the bots, and ICE's AI hiring tool is such a disaster it's accidentally fast-tracking mall security as "officers." Between self-help gurus charging $99 for chatbot "advice," GM finally settling its driver-spying suit with the FTC, and NASA prepping for a February moon shot while China plans to launch 200,000 satellites into our already crowded orbit, the future looks exactly as messy as we expected.For MEDIA CANDY, we've got Lord of the Rings marathons, the diner-bridge of Starfleet Academy, and the usual joy of streaming price hikes hitting our "Premium" plans. We're tracking the 2025 "In Memoriam" and Gabriel Pagan's exhaustive movie list before sliding into APPS & DOODADS. Jony Ive and Sam Altman are reportedly building an hearing aide called "Sweetpea" to kill your AirPods, Siri is officially Google Gemini's new puppet, and Apple is finally bundling its creative apps into a "Creator Studio" subscription trap. Tesla is making Full Self-Driving a subscription-only Valentine's gift (good luck with that), Ring is rebranding surveillance as a "fire-watching" assistant, and a Chinese app called "Are You Dead?" is the new must-have for the lonely. To cap it off, the internet proved its maturity by using "Words.zip"—an infinite word-search grid—to draw a giant phallus, because of course they did.AT THE LIBRARY features the Anthony Bourdain Reader, the return of Bob in the new Laundry Files book, and Jimmy Carr's guide to happiness, which is apparently cheaper than therapy. Then we descend into THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE, where the dishwasher-installing, ham-radio-lunching Dave Bittner reveals Disney World has job openings for those of us who spent high school in the AV club. Lucasfilm is finally entering a new era as Kathleen Kennedy steps down, just as Galaxy's Edge admits the original trilogy exists, and we wrap it all up with lock-picking kits and the terrifying realization that Seymour from H.R. Pufnstuf is the ultimate Gen-X fursona.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.Gusto - Try Gusto today at gusto.com/grumpy, and get three months free when you run your first payroll.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.
