It's Just Kind of Bizarre: A Bear with a Trump 2020 Sticker on Its Radio Collar

In a bizarre incident that has left many people outraged, a group of local activists discovered that a bear had been fitted with a Trump 2020 sticker on its radio collar. The bear, which was seen roaming around the woman's porch, seemed completely unbothered by the sticker, leading some to wonder if it was somehow involved in the installation.

The woman who reported this incident claimed that she was shocked and outraged when she saw the sticker on the bear's radio collar, but others are pointing out that this is not the first time that a political sticker has been found on one of these collars. In fact, people have reported finding everything from Trump stickers to Putin logos on their radio collars, with some even joking about grabbing Biden stickers and heading into the woods.

The incident raises questions about how often bears are actually involved in the installation of these stickers, or if it's simply a case of bears wandering around and getting stuck with whatever is nearby. Local activists are weighing in on social media, with some calling for greater oversight and regulation of bear radio collars. Others are simply amused by the situation, joking about making the bear the official White House mayor.

One thing is clear: this is not the first time that a bear has been fitted with a radio collar, and it's likely not the last. With bears being easily "food-trained" to seek out humans for food, it's not hard to imagine how someone might accidentally leave a sticker on their collar. The real question is: who did this, and why?

The incident has also raised questions about how often bears are actually involved in interactions with humans. Local residents reported that the bear was just chillin' on the woman's porch, looking up at her like it needed permission to hang out. It seems like this bear might be one of those rare creatures that is not scared of humans - or maybe it's just really hungry and needs some snacks.

The reaction to this incident has been largely tongue-in-cheek, with many people poking fun at the idea of bears wearing Trump stickers on their collars. However, others are using the incident as an opportunity to call for greater awareness about bear safety and the importance of not leaving trash or other hazardous materials out in the wild.

As one person pointed out, if you could adopt black bears, it would be a real thing - and this bear might just have been the perfect candidate. The image of the bear looking up at the camera like "I need some snacks, human" has become an internet sensation, with many people sharing their own reactions to the incident on social media.

Overall, the situation is just kind of bizarre, but it's also a reminder that bears are amazing creatures that deserve our respect and care. Whether or not you're a fan of Trump stickers, there's no denying that this bear has become an unlikely internet sensation - and who knows, maybe we'll see more bear-related news in the future.

The incident has also raised questions about how to handle situations like this in the future. Local authorities are calling for greater transparency and accountability when it comes to bear radio collars, and some are even suggesting that they should be replaced with stickers from more modern politicians. Others are simply enjoying the absurdity of it all, joking about setting up a camera crew to film the bear's antics.

In any case, this incident has become a weird and wonderful footnote in the history of bear-human interactions - and who knows, maybe one day we'll see a polar bear as the new White House resident. One thing is for sure: with bears being "cycled out" like politicians, it's only a matter of time before someone starts talking about adopting them as pets.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthanks again for node for sponsoring this episode of the news they've uh they've actually upped their affiliate link so instead of getting one month of credit you now get 60 of credit which you can make last up to three months i think or it's uh or no it's 60 or 60 days so two months i guess of credit so if you use our affiliate link you can get a little bit more credit and experiment with things they really want you to mess with that kubernetes cluster and some of the other services like their amazon s3 substitute which is quite competent you should definitely give that a spin they've also been writing a lot of how-to's so like setting up the wire guard thing which i think we can improve on and we we will soon improve on because wireguard they've got a lot more services today than they did previously you should really check it out and in fact if you're gonna do a commercial migration to like kubernetes from google compute cloud or even some of the azure compute services and you're using kubernetes come to the level one forum i'll actually help you do that so thank you lenode and on with the news hello today is august 14th 2020 and we're doing security and nonsense i think this is a pretty long section today there were there were several comments about you guys didn't cover the security thing last week and it was because it hadn't happened yet because we record these a week in advance so some people really get angry about that they agree that we don't update this every day you know if you subscribe on patreon or float plane you would get it the day after we record it for a mere what is it two dollars three the lowest here is two dollars let's run flow plane which is five because but the floodplain has a couple extra perks i mean what else you gonna do with that money saving the impending collapse of the united states purchase food forget it reddit is uh pretty well known to be a little bit left-leaning now there are some subreddits which are decidedly not that however many of them have been banned and quarantined at this point which probably makes this even more angering for the people of that site hackers are defacing reddit with pro trump messages they've got a partial list there uh it's a huge list yeah some surprising entries in the list there screenshot what is bird strips this screenshot has like the feel of myspace like when people make their own you know layouts or whatever that's how it feels now the thing that was compromised here was a certain number of moderator accounts and you're thinking wow that's a big list how many moderators do they have to compromise that's one of the problems that reddit has is they have this really like small team of authoritarian moderators who run everything didn't get maxwell have just a ridiculous amount of karma on the side as well we still don't know if that was her yeah there's a conspiracy that account is fair but there's there's no confirmation i have not seen a follow-up to that has the maxwell hill account posted since then i if if uh if it has the explanation is that she gave her lawyer the credentials so he could keep up the well according to there were there was a i think uh might have been a q anon post or somebody claimed to be a reddit insider posted maybe to 4chan or something and they said that internally there was a huge discussion of like do we take over this account and start posting so that people give up on this thread uh see conspiracies aren't all that complicated it just takes one person to uh well you know it just takes one person to infiltrate all of reddit because the moderators run everything and they're in every subreddit terrible place a terrible place i do go there for cat pictures our next story calls back to monday when i was going on my little rant about uh android being terrible because this should not be possible and this is exclusive to android and considering that people do a lot of uh the modern uh romance will often take place as they say when you slide into the dms you might not want other people to read those twitter says security flaw may have exposed android users direct messages so this is if you had the twitter app installed on your android phone and you had a malicious app installed on your phone the malicious app could scan and read your private android your private twitter messages because those things were not secured properly did we hear that dog getting hungry back there yeah she was having a dream and she was yelping in her sleep what do you think she's driving her out uh probably the birds or the bunnies in her backyard she finds those very upsetting she wants to go play with them and by play you mean sort of a uh probably accidentally mall one a george and lenny type situation yeah let's name that book it's completely tell me about the rabbit so uh animal farm no that's not animal 1984 can't believe i can't think of the name of that book engagement challenge the bunny the bunny book is that a water ship down no no it's george and lenny where george was uh how do you describe him now mentally deficient in some way and he loved to pet the bunnies and he would accidentally destroy them i feel like rude that's very much ruse and then there was this young lady who let him pet her hair oh it turned out poorly spoiler alert 1946 spoiler alert capital one hey wait a minute i use them oh this is bad news they had a data breach capital one to pay 80 million dollar fine after data breach well that's less than a dollar a user that's probably that's that's pretty good that's smart money they probably made a lot of money not bothering with any sort of security they could have spent that in just one year on the security team yeah they've uh they've apologized but that is a low number considering what happened still more than uh um equifax i mean not really like on paper equifax paid more but in reality not so much is it of mice and men oh yeah yeah i think it's of mice and men yeah all of the books from that era have all run together in my head it's a great read if you got time on your hands if you're just at home maybe check that one out george and lenny living off the fat of the land so uh yeah more of uh bad news for android wow not looking good but one bright spot in this is that in an unusual step actually maybe because this was so bad the researcher was like no i'm not going to reveal this no this is although maybe they're just on the dark way but like who wants it probably bad enough millions of android phones are at risk due to the achilles fall flaw in qualcomm chips so the demonstration video is the researcher played a malicious video which would then allow him to completely take over the operating system and do whatever he wanted and pretty much worst case scenario these are the high performance qualcomm chips they're in 40 percent of android handsets and the more expensive forty percent generally uh it's over a billion phones worldwide these are hardware flaws probably not fixable that'd probably be like intel well they'll have some kind of you know sloppy code fix but then they'll find more yeah and it just gets worse and worse and worse yep and oh boy did people take us to task last week for not reporting this but it happened after the recording date so again join patreon or floatplane we don't have a future site i'm sorry or don't if you're not in a position to do so if i were granted future site i could say that i would fix this but i would actually just use it to my own financial advantage and i would not do this anymore so what can i say massive 20 gigabyte intel ip data breach floods the internet and it mentions backdoors and intel response so the backdoors thing is probably a nothing burger but don't know you should not be downloading this this is proprietary intellectual property this is probably just stuff on like an internal intel portal that they share so this is probably not super confidential stuff but more like the stuff that intel shares with board partners who are building motherboards and systems around intel components not just their cpus but also their management engine network cards stuff like that network interfaces i should say do you see what tom's hard drive is doing with this image i do i do it's clever it actually it's a more interesting photo than what we typically get for these kind of stories so it's from shutterstock yeah we think they paid for that eight dollars yeah i was gonna say like ten bucks maybe how many clicks will they need to get to repay they probably have a shutter stock subscription yeah probably yeah yeah usually like a yearly subscription for a big company like this and uh when it comes to security and android you know there is it's just constantly like why why do they make it like that and the other embarrassment for google is the chrome extension library because oh god are there a lot of bad chrome extensions at this point i am completely untrusting of almost all of them yeah i mean there's some that i use that i feel like i have to have but i don't feel completely confident in them because you never know when it's just going to be like a plug-in or a library that they're going to use and not even know not even know we talked about that on tuesday cluster of 295 chrome extensions caught hijacking google and bing search results these malicious google chrome extensions have been installed by more than 80 million users now some of these were pretty obvious it's like why would anybody install that uh k-pop black pink wallpaper hd why would you ever why would you do that to yourself i there's a one of our editors has the uh the dark mode like dark mode everything the web extension installed i don't know specifically which one it is but it does some things that are deeply unsettling to me and so when i use i hear krista that's yeah that's my house what's happening is there a home invasion no a cop car just went by like my neighborhood's kind of like a loop so he like just looped around and then he disappeared the other way so i don't know where he's going now i gotta say i am tempted by the lil pump hd new tab but you just have to say no to these things one tab's not in there is it how many people downloaded gta 5 grand theft auto to be to severe disappointment i wonder if rockstar the rockstar legal team even it's like what do you mean there's a google chrome extension called grand theft auto 5. that doesn't do what we didn't know we had to be sending cease and desist letters for google chrome extensions that just never occurred to us but the good news is when one of these extensions inevitably steals all your passwords you do have a way to find out if they are now being uh traded among the dark knight segway lastpass will now warn you if your passwords show up on the dark web how does it do this have i been pwned researcher troy hunt has this amazing website have i been pawned and whenever a password especially a plain text password makes it into a leak he adds it to his database but sometimes even hashes so he will add the password hashes to his database and so you can check your password to see if your password or your password hash has ended up in a leak and you're probably thinking wow what a cash cow he must be making a ton of money off of that and you know what that prince of a man is in fact not making a ton of money it might be making a little bit he thought about maybe letting somebody acquire it if they would be good stewards of it and you know probably is pretty damning to the rest of the technology industry that once he got uh a look at that contract he made a somewhat different decision i'm opening so open sourcing the have i been pwned source code so it's not the database of all the breaches because he's put a lot of work into compiling the breaches and which by the way the blog posts on this are fascinating you should read those because he's he's exploiting like cloudflare and azure and stuff like the free services to like stack things together and cache it so when he imports a 400 million record thing it costs him like five thousand dollars one time and then all the cash lookups and stuff like that just cost fractions of a penny and that is pretty awesome but he's not open sourcing the data it's just the code base that does all this so you can make sure that it's you know reasonably secure and that it's not doing anything shady because you know you go to a web page and you put in your password and it tells you if your password has been leaked that doesn't sound scary at all but the way that he's done it like the technical expertise the way in which it was implemented is actually pretty brilliant chrome actually has an internal tool now that uh if you use one of those passwords it will warn you uh he's partnered with microsoft as well so like microsoft azure it's if you've got the azure cloud nonsense it's just one checkbox and if somebody in your organization is using your uh azure logins and the passwords have been stolen it'll flag it and it won't let them set that password well it seems like uh perhaps driven by the uh lack of more traditional employment because of the state of the world the ransomware people have really been picking up their activity and getting some big juicy targets lately i gotta think that some jobs are gonna be on the line here i mean this is just uh it's a painful thing for a company of this size canon confirms ransomware attack and internal memos this is the canon imaging site we don't know anything about the details here other than they apparently exfiltrated 10 terabytes of information some of it some of it may be user uploaded photos but we don't know so here is the the newsletter that came out bad news oh widespread system issues they couldn't get to any email or anything like that all their websites are down oh all these domains rip here's the message from the ransom people pretty good english in this one unfortunate and last week we talked about another one of these situations it might have been the week before and the question was what did they do well they're not saying but because they're not saying you kind of have to assume i called it garmin reportedly used decryption key it may have paid the ransom after cyber attack we initially did this story and i was like they totally paid the ransom and no one else is saying that i was right they didn't confirm it but they have to have paid the ransom well you know the good thing about it is that you don't gloat i can't wait for yeah i can't wait for uh jeff bezos remember when jeff bezos was hacked and he like you know hired a private investigator and spent unlimited amounts of money i can't wait for the ransomware people to do that with like the wrong person and they'd literally just send a hit squad after the ransom people but we'd never hear about it the play already happened it'll be done professionally and quietly well the the write-up that jeff bezos did for his thing was not done quietly but it was done professionally and it was amazing what if he goes to actually the actual you know link to kill a person there's somebody some amazing author like i want stephen king to write that story that would be an amazing story like just get stephen king in there and it's like based on the true events of jeff bezos best seller uh bezos lives in california right no has to be in dairy bane that's the only setting the uh obviously the if you're gonna hack if you're gonna you know steal data you're gonna use ransomware you don't go after the little the common man you go after the enterprise and that is why when you are in the enterprise you must take extra precautions and update your software hacker release passwords for 900 plus enterprise vpn servers the list has been shared on a russian speaking hacker form frequented by multiple ransomware games gangs so what happened here there was a vpn appliance that had a flaw dude broke into the vpn appliance planted malware to sniff the passwords got the passwords and then reported the passwords everywhere ouch also have the ssh keys so well if you do update that's not the only thing that you have to do all the passwords change everything and the keys bad news it's gonna be a busy weekend probably already was i love it when you get an incompetent system administrator and like they change the password but they don't delete your keys from ssh and you have to remind them it's like okay you change the password right it's like is it okay if i try to log in again to make sure you change the password correctly and they're like what do you think i'm an idiot and it's like i'm ssh stan and they're like what it's like you didn't delete the keys and then you shut down with system messages yes yes you're an idiot firefox you gotta hand it to them they are constantly doing more and more stuff that is security-minded and uh of course apple stole a little bit of their thunder with apples lately was like yeah we're shutting down security for everybody else or we're increasing security we're shutting down all that horrible stuff unless you're an apple app in which case it's okay but this step by firefox is going to be very aggravating to the advertising world firefox 79 clears redirect tracking cookies every 24 hours so this is one of the mechanisms that the ad industry uses to keep track of you across the site so like if you've ever been looking at something on a website like oh i might buy this from lowe's and then you're you know browsing google later and you get an ad for lowe's that's like hey buy this thing at a discount from lowes.com those retargeting pixels and those tracking cookies that redirect mechanism is part of how that works so the idea is if they were to delete all your cookies every 24 hours that would get annoying because you want some of those to just make your life easier although you know a lot of people argue just deal with the annoyance and not have that horror in your life but they're saying that we are pretty good at telling the good ones from the bad ones and the ones we identify as bad we're going to just flush out every 24 hours so unless you are constantly on these sites that are using these horrible things then you should get the reset the next time you do it they won't be able to see that you're the same person nice and speaking of horrible spine how about windows they do a lot of it and they have some controls now that lets you opt out of it but probably not really they're really never going to let you opt out of it and a lot of people have gone to some really great links to stop it there's a variety of ways you can do that but microsoft is getting hip to that windows 10 the host file blocking telemetry is now flagged as a risk so what you can do with your host file on your windows machine is set up entries that redirect common microsoft urls to just localhost or some other web page so you can set something so that the if you're trying to make a connection to a certain domain name it'll never go anywhere it'll never leave the local machine and so that's the thing that's being flagged now i talked to somebody at microsoft about this and they said the reason that they're doing this is because they get so many tech support questions from people to do this and then actually try to use the windows store because it turns out that all of the telemetry and all the domain names and all this nonsense for the windows store is the same as the windows operating system so if you actually want to use the windows store you have to allow some of these domain names i think that that was intentionally designed by a really just terribly evil person to be like alright i'm going to make parts of windows break if you don't want to be monitored if you don't want to consent to the telemetry but um that's why they said they were doing this of course of course they do it that way you can uh click enough times to say just leave me alone and let this happen they will still let you do that then if anything really bad does happen to your host file you will get no notification but my host file has never been molested outside of myself i don't know how common that is uh uh spybot search and destroy used to manipulate your host file there were a number of windows products that would manipulate your host's file to uh black hole like tracking domains and advertising domains and things like blue kai and that kind of stuff i should have put this with the other leak this was a bad sort look at this good stock photo i do love the stock photo it does perfectly communicate what's happening here source code from dozens of companies leaked online source code from exposed repositories of dozens of companies across various fields of activity tech finance food e-commerce manufacturing is publicly available as a result of a misconfiguration of their infrastructure no not this this thing that happens literally every week and every day so yeah they found some it was a specific it was like a chinese company or something and uh they had a bunch of big names you know but big names it's not the same as these companies leaking things i don't think it was a terrible leak in that case you know looks like the same as like the intel thing but still embarrassing it's always that third party go look at it if you're brave but don't blame us and moving on to nonsense the panda has long been the poster boy i shouldn't say boy the poster of the conservation world the uh wwe or no wwf all right yeah because it's because they took the name from the wwf and made them become the wwe their icon is the panda because it was long believed if we just save the pandas much like the uh the us government's ideas about the economy there will be a trickle down conservation if we just save the billionaires they'll take care of us exactly so trickle down conservation it was the pandas at the top and everybody else under them but maybe we were wrong study saving pandas led to the downfall of other animals this is a fascinating story you should go read this it's like what was it it's like it's all canines or not canines but like predators that that it affected well and uh a deer apparently the population of deer just exploded because there were no there were no predators yeah whatever you do to help the pandas it disrupts things surprise yeah snow leopard asian wild dogs down 95 percent snow leopards aren't canines krista how dare you why not say predator i i corrected myself so hey uh what a shock maybe we don't know enough to just meddle with nature release genetically modified mosquitoes what do restrict the rights of everybody in the world and change everything about business so that we can mess with the climate that we don't understand any more than this i'm sure that'll generate some comments there's a lot of carbon dioxide in the you know it just i don't know the carbon dioxide in the air bugs me because i want to put artificial oxygen concentrators in my house now to keep the the oxygen level high because like the oxygen bar thing that's the thing that's legit if you're ever in vegas and you want to go to an oxygen bar like try that you'd be surprised might do that post the thing yeah yeah or you could disease you could do what people have been doing for you know centuries and use plants yeah it's a good idea now i uh deal with uh csv data quite a bit comma separated value and i can tell you that there have been times when i've been trying to explain to somebody why this is the case and they're like well just make it work and i'm like i can't because microsoft are idiots and this is a uh you know there's no you can't save the column type in a csv because it's just data it's gonna do this every time you open the program and they're like that can't be true but it is and i hate it and so do scientists scientists rename human genes to stop microsoft excel from misreading them as dates so some of these genes are named like march 1 which it reinterprets as a date so the scientists are naming it march f1 which excel is like okay i'll leave this alone now you can change the column types but when you import csv yeah when you import it it's a huge pain in the butt to go in and like try to deal with it and it changes them before you get a chance okay it's horrific and the answer of course is not to use excel but a lot of these scientists i mean what else you're going to use right the university gave me excel and it was this weird bug with open office so i hate that personally just on a personal note i hate you microsoft for doing that to us i kind of understand it and again it's because most people want it to be the date it's a rare occurrence that you're studying whatever genomes and stuff but give me a way to stop it and of course we every week now we get this this thing where certain things names are problematic even though no one had bad intentions when they did it they still have to be purged from our memory and destroyed and now we've gone beyond the earth and we've reached out into the stars to find problematic entities nasa drops racially charged nick's names of celestial bodies so this is the eskimo cluster it is now not going to be called that and the siamese twin stars so this is this is probably going to be me sounding a little bit ignorant but like i understand the eskimo one because i know there's so many different tribes up there that they don't really like being put under one umbrella but like siamese twins is that considered offensive like i don't who does that offend well that's not the name of it it's co-joined siame we call them siamese because the there was a famous example from cyan that one seems less harmful but i mean whatever doesn't really make a difference listen kristen just because you hate the siamese i'm pretty sure that my grandma had an eskimo branded deep freezer yeah eskimo pies they mentioned is also renaming i don't there are a lot of those indigenous communities though yeah i'm never going to learn all those names i'm sorry i just don't have room for it in the old noggin it's mine like or just native no because there's the inuit does not describe all of them there's another one what's the blanket term i need just a new blanket indigenous i guess but that's not i guess not specific to the arctic yeah it's as descriptive as eskimo apparently eskimo meant uh raw meat eater because they're in the arctic yeah yeah they're just like you know killing those seals and eating the fat and stuff yeah i guess indigenous yeah what's they need they need a new term i'm fine if they want to don't want to be called that that's fine but like i just want to know what term to use you know what we should do much like a uh a sports stadium we should let a different corporation every year bid for the chance so you could have like oh this year they're the pepsi's and they'll get a big check to help them out how about that you know what i want to start a business that like we'll take 10 and we'll coordinate all that all of the oppressed people of the world will give them corporate money but they have to change their name to that corporation's name i really want to see like sports team versus sports team it's like the amazon delivery warehouse workers versus the uh apple assembly team they're never giving those people enough time off to participate no no they're professional athletes it's just that the name of the team is the mascot yeah good work so uh delivery boy like is that just like a version of jeff bezos but like a cartoon mascot yeah it's just a dollar sign and the other thing that we have to uh worry about in this new age that we live in where certain things are wrong and you know you don't know why and you're trying to negotiate that minefield and one of them is gender and samsung they're trying i don't know that they understand it but i don't know that i do either so maybe we can give them points for this i don't know samsung unpacked tech world reacts to gender fluid galaxy note 20 ultra yes that headline is not a typo now krista i'm assuming you didn't read this yet which is good no i didn't because i want to pull you now you are someone who works in design you're attuned to colors apparently you see colors when you listen to music which turns out not everybody does that apparently that's weird yeah yeah so what color without scrolling down what is the color of gender fluid silver wrong turns out it's kind of a copper-ish deal it looks like millennial pink i think pink would be gendered it does have kind of a pinkish hue to it though yeah yeah i don't i don't that doesn't say gender fluid to me i don't associate maybe that's the point that i don't think maybe that's a translation error from south korea yeah what were they trying to say though i'm sitting here thinking like they could have just made the phone like easier for smaller hands to hold and that would have been a more like important feature they also have these the name but they also have these new earbuds which are 100 beans they're kind of adorable though i don't hate them but you know when people did side by side lost in your ear well if you look at see that's just one it's not there's actually a little bud if you scroll down a little bit oh okay when you squeeze the bean and then like the guts come out although weirdly enough you know like this is very contoured versus everybody else it's almost like a a feminine curve which is not gender fluid at all it looks kind of like a kidney kind of problematic i personally don't like earbuds so that's just a non-entity to me but ugh so uh courts are now being done remotely because who wants to sit in a room with a bunch of other people who might get you sick and we've been using zoom to do some court hearings now this cannot be blamed on zoom zoom did increase the security a little bit they did add some controls for this kind of thing this is just the court and the judge not really understanding technology to hilarious effect zoom bombers interrupt uh oh the headline is twitter hack zoom court uh i messed that up twitter hack zoom chord hearing interrupted by porn video i'm not gonna say the headline because i fear demonetization zoom bombers interrupt the bond hearing for the alleged twitter mastermind so the judge had to postpone the hearing now the problem is you need to set these things to be administrators only in terms of microphone and screen sharing they did not do this no anybody involved who they pretended to be reporters from some various uh you know large newspapers they got in and they caused chaos yeah the best part of this article is like the picture at the top where the judge looks very concerned really reacting what am i looking at did i leave a tab open oh god this is the worst day ever but no now he said he was gonna they were gonna they had to you know cancel the hearing and reschedule it he said next time i'm going to put a password on it but that won't actually fix the problem no he still doesn't understand what's happening now crystal here's another i have another word here that i want you to try to uh pronounce but we'll do the headline first okay the saboteurs who can hi you can hire to end your relationship so under the picture the wording quotes there uh i will try wakka wakka ray sa saya waka that is a mouthful i am absolutely positive the uh emphasis was wrong there yes but i could not correct you i could not even begin to so yeah that's a word to mean someone that you try to get to cheat on your significant other so that you can break up with them and it turns out the reason for this is because in japan you can't just divorce somebody you have to have proof of infidelity or some other problem you can disagree with the it's like no we're going to work it out it's like i don't want to work it out no we're going to work it out now this story gets much darker so a guy hired one of these things that i can't pronounce to seduce his wife so that he could divorce her but then they fell in love it's a tale as old as time very successful so he picked her up they had a relationship he took the pictures but then fell in love with her but he satisfied the contract delivered the pictures and then in the the divorce hearing it came out as to what happened she found out but they were still in the relationship she decided to leave him because he was manipulative and ruined her life and in turn he decided to strangle her but she died that's a twisted web that's m not shyamalan level right there very sad but this is apparently a common thing in japanese culture and like this is a they're they've decided as a result of this case to require a formal license for this industry but it is otherwise something that is tolerated what do you think the licensing what's the training course look like a private investigation it's like you got to have a private investigator's license to do this now i saw so there's apparently a private investigator here in town i don't know if they're based here in town but they have a one of those big vans one of those big box fans and it's wrapped with private investigators it's like oh you're sneaking around in that thing huh it's parked in front of my house for a week what's going on it's the uh how are they called liar chasers yeah yeah i think it's the name of it like wow way to be inconspicuous i guess we kind of do have that here in the us too it's like you can get a divorce for any reason but if you want your significant other to not take half your stuff you have to show well in some states it still doesn't but it doesn't even matter i think california zero fault divorce i think as well they could be like literally setting your children on fire and in california's like oh give them half larry king uh you know a lot of celebrities will slip out of the limelight and and go gently into obscurity and take their mountains of cash with them and just be happy but some of them desperately need that attention they need to be in front of a camera and i've i'm uh i fear that mr king might fall into that category the disinfomercial how larry king got duped into starring in a chinese propaganda the broadcasting icon's fake interview with a russian journalist went viral on social media spread by accounts tied to the china's government remember those youtube comments we were talking about earlier or the youtube accounts yeah this is this is amazing you should go watch this so larry had his own he's got his own production company now he's not on tv anymore like the you know the major channels but he has his own thing and they kind of you know pulled back the curtain here and it's larry at 85 just shuffling in front of the camera and reading whatever they put in front of him and in this situation his producers actually tried to protect him and they were like larry for the love of god don't because it was just open-ended larry only recorded his part of the conversation no one knew what the responses were gonna be they just put a script in front of him he was like oh this is a good guy he's fine it was like this uh israeli guy that he knew so he did his part and then it was just pure propaganda on the other end and they released it and that's embarrassing why even bother with deep fakes when you could just hire it done yeah just get old dementia ridden celebrities we can get old dementia ridden dan rather it's like come on dan rather let's let's record some open-ended stuff i i can't remember how i ended up in this rabbit hole but like i found a tweet i think it was from dan rather and he used what term was it vibe he used the term vibe and he used it correctly in a tweet and i was like did dan rather write this or is this something like his media team the rights to dan rather bot have been sold to mega media corporation it was bizarre yeah i don't know i mean i i expect if you are still you know mentally all there you would adapt to the social media world and you know take on the language i don't think that's too hard to believe i don't know i mean you know it's that situation where i live in a state of arrested development right i refuse to take on most of the trappings of adulthood and you know like i don't want anything to do with kids or you know all that nonsense and so i'm able to mentally remain young but i'm still getting out of touch on some things i don't know yeah some things i don't want to be in touch on like tick-tock what i also said like tick tock i'll beat you to it i know eat it so i don't know i think dan could be young at heart maybe maybe we'll get him on the news here to talk about that that'd be fun did you write your tweets about vibing we need to know that's and then he's like you don't have any other questions like no just the one now we had several nonsense articles about india in which people claim these outrageous things will cure the problem that we got going on and it seems to be i don't know you think this is just a way to get attention on social media do these people really believe these things this one seems like it might be corporately motivated yeah he maybe got a little a little cash a little bit yeah kick back here yeah union minister arjun ram mengwal who said uh i don't know that bg well i think that's the the urine thing will save you has tested positive thing but bg is the brand name papaya is a kind of snack oh but bg is the the brand name of that snack yeah he's tested positive he's essentially saying eat twinkies yeah are they a cake snack do we know i i'm not sure this article just said snack oh no is this the is this the indian version of the bean thing because like remember that was the thing like trump had like the beans and he's like go your beans are amazing but that was because no that didn't have anything to do with the the pandemic it's just that they were attacking goya the left like you know the pronoun police were going after goya for something oh and he was like i love goya and they sold a million it kind of just looks like tortillas but i i can't tell i'm trying to find more info anyway it's some kind of snack that you can buy and his specific brand name so yeah it's kind of like him saying listen just eat wonder bread you'll be fine and presumably he if he knew that he would be eating them right because he tested positively he has it now and he's was basically telling people hey you don't need to go to science and all these ridiculous doctors for this just do this the moment he got it right to the doctor so he's now weird scared that's so weird oops sorry i hit the mic is it weird really we did a story remember the story about the kid who had a bb gun in the background yeah of his house and he was doing the online learning and the cops stormed his house that's a question of how much control should a school have when they're just looking into your home because your kid is now does a kid have to be on the camera they have a choice there yeah they have to be on the camera because otherwise they could just not even be there prove that they're there okay that makes sense well it kind of sucks if you have a computer without a camera well it also it also sucks if you're not a big fan of like me taking showers during the painting yeah school district bans students from wearing pajamas while doing online learning they've obviously never been to a college campus yeah there would definitely be people rolling in and sometimes it was funny because the thoughts would roll in yeah in their thursday night party out that's stinking of cigarettes and worse so a lot of the parents have argued it's like hey you don't get to tell me how to dress my kid in my own home who's in the right here krista what are you going to do when your kid is you know doing their online learning and they want to wear something outlandish i guess we'll have to do if we're doing public school we have to do what they said because i mean that's the curriculum fight the power i mean if you're at the public schools you know they've got their thumb on you you got to pick your own curriculum no you take a thumbtack and you drive it in and you bathe in their blood so i found this out recently um if you are a foster parent or i think even if you adopt a child i don't think you can do any kind of like alternative like homeschooling or anything like that you have to do public school i agree with that that sucks i agree with that if you're getting money yeah but like money right that that kind of sucks though like in this sort of particular scenario where it's like oh hey you're a foster kid so we're just going to send you to the public school even though you could do remote learning normally yeah but then you could get some really crazy stuff going on with homeschooling yeah i mean i understand why they have that in non-pandemic conditions but it's like i wonder if there's like weird edge cases now that but you could really influence their mind like if they didn't have those rules scientology could just harvest the foster homes yeah i just have them forever i've been watching those uh well it's like a good thing too for the kids because then they you know they get to go back to school and see teachers that they're already used to anyway i've been watching those police confession videos one of them this guy is a family and they already had kids and they they took in this foster daughter who was a real hellcat and she seduced the father and then and she was like we need to be together and he's like i can't i've got the wife so she was like oh don't worry about that and he was a trucker and he left for the week and she was like yeah i'll just stab the mom to death wow yeah well you know i was thinking about fostering but you know maybe huh don't get a 17 year old girl that's all i'm saying i don't know if you have a ton of choice over placements i'm just starting to research it yeah you should be in this like listen uh where's your menu there's so kentucky does have like a website with pictures of all the kids who are currently in foster care and it feels it's weird because it feels when you look at it it's like i feel like i'm on pet finder yeah but i'm looking at human beings and that's strange like have these children been tested for fiv yeah so a little blurb too like about things they're interested in and what their favorite subjects are in school it was strange strange to look at uh the protests the movement that we've currently been seeing in the world or in the country at least uh has definitely been uh anti-cop that is a sentiment that's really pervasive right now and it's weird how far people will go and their condemnation of all things law enforcement kindergarten cop screening canceled in oregon accused of glorifying police traumatizing children i didn't get down i didn't watch the same movie that they watched apparently yes so now none of the kids in the movie they point out were under investigation and uh he did not actually use his police powers against any of them it was a father who was dealing drugs but there was a shootout in front of the kids and they keep they constantly mention the school to prison pipeline that is a real thing that is a real thing but i don't think that really happens in kindergarten cop and i don't think we can bring blame uh governor schwarzenegger for any of that he's blameless here come on let him get his residual checks i don't know about you but um i have no desire to get on an airplane when it's unnecessary yeah yeah but apparently some people do to the tune of several hundred dollars that they're willing to be separated with in order to fulfill that need i guess eva air introduces a special flight to nowhere on a hello kitty plane i've been on this plane twice would you pay 200 to spend three hours on it again i the last time i it was a lot more than that for a lot more hours than that because this was the the flight to uh taiwan a couple of times do they only have the one plane that's hello kitty i believe so they've got another one that's themed something else and it is like the first time you experience it it is surreal so yeah this uh now they did they did a previous program for people who were just jonesing for the plane experience but they never took off they just taxied around a little bit this one is actually going to go into the air fly around the city so you can look out and look and enjoy the buildings and then come back and land in the exact same spot that you left i actually have a lot of b-roll of it from that kind of thing i got the at the airport while i was in taiwan this they claimed that this jet did you get the uh the three michelin star meal when you're on the jet no i did not that's uh reserved for not the class that i was when i flew yeah sorry but the the meal like the meal that i had in my regular business class or whatever it was was superb easily the best airline food that i've ever had and probably better than most of the restaurants around here well i've never been on an airplane where i've needed to eat a meal like i mean you know they give you peanuts and stuff but like 15 hours christmas i've never been on a flight that long but i would need to eat like dinner or breakfast it also gives you something to do while you're sitting there being bored out of your mind yes keeps people you know you get some some food in your belly get a little drowsy and it's good food it really is good food and they'll bring you more you should push to see how long to see how far you can take that see if you can eat the entire airplanes worth of food well i'm just i'm you know i'm contrasting to my experiences on like say uh u.s airways where it's like can i have a second bag of peanuts and they look at me like no you don't need a second bag of peanuts shut your mouth pig yeah pretty much now that i always include black hole stories it never fails because christa's uh unrealistic fear of them and now you know i've never felt strongly about the black holes i really only include them because krista's fear and it's hilarious to talk about that but now i am decidedly more pro-black hole based on this story because i've found out that black holes are actually a kind of birth control for the universe and i support birth control in all its forms but this one the black hole fails to do its job i didn't realize black holes really had a job i would like to know more and it's population control for stars basically wow the more we learn the more we realize we have no idea what we don't know i also like how they always have to have a picture of a black hole but you can't have a picture of a black hole so you get these various crazy things this was an x-ray so it turns out the black hole exudes super hot it's not air it's actually and that super hot energy calms down the stars who want to breed prolifically and it's like no instead of a cold shower it's more of a hot shower it calms them right down this black hole for whatever reason is just taking some time off and the stars are just out of control little star babies everywhere everywhere all these jupiter-sized planets just initiating fusion no no regard to radiation it's like an orgy it's like it's like a galaxy sized orgy so i don't know spark 104 922.6 get to work buddy krista how often do you have to leave the the pup at home i guess less right now during the work days i remember when you first got the dog there was a lot of back and forth yeah because she was little and she couldn't hold it all day so i would go home at lunch and let her out to pee now you don't you don't put her in the cage anymore right no no she doesn't have to do that anymore she's good now when she was a puppy she would tear stuff up so what do you think she does while she's just chilling out at home i think she probably does what she does now which is she sleeps she gets up and like she'll put her around the apartment and like chew on her toys and then she goes to the window and like looks outside she puts her her little chin on the the thing and looks out do you ever leave the tv on for anything like that i used to when she was a puppy i don't really anymore well i know that you are a spotify customer i am so you have no excuse spotify launches playlists for dogs left home alone there's actually a huge youtube category for this as well because again when was a puppy i was afraid she would be like freaked out by like neighbors and stuff like that so i would leave youtube playlists on of like eight hours of calming relaxing music for dogs hey reuters i got an alternative headline for you spotify defrauds advertisers by playing advertisements for dogs now they do say it's a mix of dog friendly music i don't know how you decide that and uh dog directed praise messages of affirmation who's a good boy who's a good girl remember the story from about two months ago where uh the the dogs really did not interact well with non-anthropomorphic devices that were emitting human speech it was a very low engagement from the dogs my cats have no interest in the speakers like it's just yeah it's just noise to them they don't care at all but you know the mouse toy could make the same noise and it's just blood curdling fear we were watching a movie yesterday and there was a scene where like you could hear russian over an intercom and rue was like almost asleep and she immediately perked up and looked at the tv and like cocked her little head oh my god she's a communist plant she's an agent she might be i was like do you understand that ruru why did you look up when you heard that no she was like is it time to activate do i kill them now uh we have uh you know done a little bit of uh live youtube stuff we get on twitch from time to time there actually every week and uh you know it's interesting it's a fun thing to do and a lot of people i think get addicted to that and they have to take it further you got to raise that bar because it is a fickle crowd they do i mean you do anything to bore them and they're like i'm out i got seven million other choices you entertain me or i'm gone and uh you can kind of understand how something like this would happen a korean youtuber accidentally set fire to his private part private parts on a youtube broadcast and received second-degree burns now it wasn't an accident it was stupid but it wasn't an accident so now he was playing fall guys have you guys seen fall guys it looks pretty entertaining it's like a it's battle royale but you know like mario party type thing and it does look like a really frustrating but also fun we might need to check that out i think it's a little too expensive for what it is anyway he promised his viewers that he would get a win he did not and so he said if i don't get a win yeah i will do what it says on the box and there's some screenshots here yeah they kind of walk you through the situation here he is feeling good this one's pixelated i don't know why it's it's pixelated but it's done so poorly like you can still tell exactly what's happening and then applying the lighter fluid and regret it mention how old this guy is he looks pretty young he's gonna be okay mostly they got a video and i was gonna watch it but this is the full three hour stream oh so i bailed out yeah i didn't have time for that what is that what is that is that a candle it's a sticker all right let's not get caught in the clickbait i also looked at the clickbait and had that same question of like what are those things but then i was like don't look at it now there are a lot of uh the narratives of tragedy to do with the current situation the pandemic and one of them maybe one of the most tragic of all it really it tied in a lot of the social themes that we have going on right now it was a native american it was a teacher it was a victim of the virus and ultimately a death and you're thinking wow god it doesn't get much darker than that how about the fact that it was completely fake a professor who was a twitter hoax the anonymous professor who wasn't professor arizona state university does not exist the only thing i could think after reading that headline was uh uh the night rider a shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist except this was just a twitter hoax and he also existed well his identity didn't exist so he was michael long not michael knight in fact he affected the world around him amazingly every week just an incredible impact on it so this was actually another person also a professor not anymore thankfully who decided to invent a human being a native american although the native american thing came later and this is where it gets interesting because after the invention of this fake twitter person who was pushing their narrative they got into a relationship with this fake person a very serious relationship and they were crushed when she died although they chose when she died and how poop is an agenda this seems like something on seinfeld where you know like uh you get too far into it yeah it's just yeah i can't stop now what do i do next i gotta kill her but how she can't just disappear george you can't kill her i mean the woman who did all this interesting history uh read up on her but she has finally admitted yeah i might have a mental health issue maybe i should look into that that still seems like the easy way out to say that i mean really well what else are you gonna say i'm going to remove myself from this earth it was me it was i who made up the professor well she didn't admit it people quickly found a lot of holes in the timeline because this was such an amazing story obviously you know the the media is very left-wing and they're like oh my god this is perfect let me get the facts and the facts just you know it's like the the raccoon trying to wash the cotton candy everybody who hasn't seen that is confused but you should look it up and it dissolves in water it's sugar but put the packet of sugar in water but the raccoon was like i'm gonna wash off my food because usually they're washing nuts off which is actually a smart practice it didn't know and it was the disappointment was just it transcends species the disappointment what if for the rest of its life it no longer trusted the wash and it was just riddled with disease and infections and our final story you know i love to put animal stories last because everybody loves a good animal story right some of them are tragic and those aren't very fun this one's i it some people would say it's tragic but it's also just hilarious it's just kind of bizarre the real question is if this was not done by the person installing the caller the balls on whoever did this can you imagine reward offered for information on who put trump 2020 sticker on bear a girl group of local activists is outraged so it was the bearish tracking collar it wasn't in the bear's fur or anything like that i would be outraged if somebody put a sticker in the bear's fur yeah but no it's just the track and caller so either uh this bear is just so chill and people know it that they let somebody get close or they had to be involved with the radio college somehow right you were thinking yeah well and with black bears too i mean like they're very easy to like food train where so if they find food and they start to associate that with humans you might not have been scared of humans someone was just like lull and slap the sticker on it well it's clearly not scared of humans because the woman who reported this she was outraged this bear was just chilling on her porch and that's who that's where we got the pictures there are some really good pictures there's one of it where it's just looking right up at her and this should be if if you could adopt black bears the picture of it looking up at the camera like i need the sarah mclaughlin music music over top of it i'm really hungry i don't want to maul you so if you've got some kibble or something i can eat that would be great some trash you know whatever you've got look at that keep america great and um a lot of people are outraged over this they pointed out that after calling the uh whoever's in charge of the radio cars they're like yeah this is not really a first we get political stickers on them all the time that's crazy something something trump sticker on a bear putin that's horrifying there's a there's there's something in there there's a conspiracy you could make yourself and post on 4chan you know there is someone who saw that and rather than the reaction we had their first reaction was like to grab the biden stickers and just head off into the woods and yeah it's like i gotta fight this fire with fire and the bears are just happy because they're getting fed all the time till winter comes then they get put down you think they'll ever be put down yeah because if they keep seeking out people that's what happens a fed bear is a dead bear oh okay can you feed them because then eventually they associate humans with food and humans get freaked out by bears and then they get put down what do you think about making this bear the official white house mayor i'm sure i'm sure when what if tweet re-trumps retrumps this what if trump retweets this how great would it be just to have a bear on the lawn of the water that's a guard bear so if any protesters make it over the fence can you imagine it's like just in the oval office he would probably make him set up a bunch of cameras so that they could broadcast it on the internet it was like like his wwe days was like oh if a protester gets mauled i mean that's going to be number one ratings right there and it's like what are you what are you doing listen i might tune in to see the the white house lawn bear i was gonna say you have morbid curiosity you would absolutely turn in oh i'm not even talking about him eating people i'm just chilling out i might tune in for that every once in a while let's see what it's like kitten academy but for the bear yeah bear house white house black bear that'd be a reality but then it's like they have a full season of that and the ratings are starting to go down and trump's like we need a grizzly now and they're like sir grizzlies are not nearly as docile as black bears he's like i need one aren't brown bears the worst yeah grizzlies yeah grizzlies brown bears yeah oh okay well pardon me and then you could then it's like you have to raise the stakes again then you bring a polar bear and that's just carnage do they all live together you keep replacing one with the other then what would do we do with the ones we cycle out uh they get pardoned like the turkey on thanksgiving and then they release them into the streets of washington dc you're still gonna need a camera crew for that all right that is all we've got for this episode how long did that go oh that went for an hour long time so i'll be a record length of news this week yeah i think krista give us uh the friendliest bear goodbye bye that was a good one that was good yeah youthanks again for node for sponsoring this episode of the news they've uh they've actually upped their affiliate link so instead of getting one month of credit you now get 60 of credit which you can make last up to three months i think or it's uh or no it's 60 or 60 days so two months i guess of credit so if you use our affiliate link you can get a little bit more credit and experiment with things they really want you to mess with that kubernetes cluster and some of the other services like their amazon s3 substitute which is quite competent you should definitely give that a spin they've also been writing a lot of how-to's so like setting up the wire guard thing which i think we can improve on and we we will soon improve on because wireguard they've got a lot more services today than they did previously you should really check it out and in fact if you're gonna do a commercial migration to like kubernetes from google compute cloud or even some of the azure compute services and you're using kubernetes come to the level one forum i'll actually help you do that so thank you lenode and on with the news hello today is august 14th 2020 and we're doing security and nonsense i think this is a pretty long section today there were there were several comments about you guys didn't cover the security thing last week and it was because it hadn't happened yet because we record these a week in advance so some people really get angry about that they agree that we don't update this every day you know if you subscribe on patreon or float plane you would get it the day after we record it for a mere what is it two dollars three the lowest here is two dollars let's run flow plane which is five because but the floodplain has a couple extra perks i mean what else you gonna do with that money saving the impending collapse of the united states purchase food forget it reddit is uh pretty well known to be a little bit left-leaning now there are some subreddits which are decidedly not that however many of them have been banned and quarantined at this point which probably makes this even more angering for the people of that site hackers are defacing reddit with pro trump messages they've got a partial list there uh it's a huge list yeah some surprising entries in the list there screenshot what is bird strips this screenshot has like the feel of myspace like when people make their own you know layouts or whatever that's how it feels now the thing that was compromised here was a certain number of moderator accounts and you're thinking wow that's a big list how many moderators do they have to compromise that's one of the problems that reddit has is they have this really like small team of authoritarian moderators who run everything didn't get maxwell have just a ridiculous amount of karma on the side as well we still don't know if that was her yeah there's a conspiracy that account is fair but there's there's no confirmation i have not seen a follow-up to that has the maxwell hill account posted since then i if if uh if it has the explanation is that she gave her lawyer the credentials so he could keep up the well according to there were there was a i think uh might have been a q anon post or somebody claimed to be a reddit insider posted maybe to 4chan or something and they said that internally there was a huge discussion of like do we take over this account and start posting so that people give up on this thread uh see conspiracies aren't all that complicated it just takes one person to uh well you know it just takes one person to infiltrate all of reddit because the moderators run everything and they're in every subreddit terrible place a terrible place i do go there for cat pictures our next story calls back to monday when i was going on my little rant about uh android being terrible because this should not be possible and this is exclusive to android and considering that people do a lot of uh the modern uh romance will often take place as they say when you slide into the dms you might not want other people to read those twitter says security flaw may have exposed android users direct messages so this is if you had the twitter app installed on your android phone and you had a malicious app installed on your phone the malicious app could scan and read your private android your private twitter messages because those things were not secured properly did we hear that dog getting hungry back there yeah she was having a dream and she was yelping in her sleep what do you think she's driving her out uh probably the birds or the bunnies in her backyard she finds those very upsetting she wants to go play with them and by play you mean sort of a uh probably accidentally mall one a george and lenny type situation yeah let's name that book it's completely tell me about the rabbit so uh animal farm no that's not animal 1984 can't believe i can't think of the name of that book engagement challenge the bunny the bunny book is that a water ship down no no it's george and lenny where george was uh how do you describe him now mentally deficient in some way and he loved to pet the bunnies and he would accidentally destroy them i feel like rude that's very much ruse and then there was this young lady who let him pet her hair oh it turned out poorly spoiler alert 1946 spoiler alert capital one hey wait a minute i use them oh this is bad news they had a data breach capital one to pay 80 million dollar fine after data breach well that's less than a dollar a user that's probably that's that's pretty good that's smart money they probably made a lot of money not bothering with any sort of security they could have spent that in just one year on the security team yeah they've uh they've apologized but that is a low number considering what happened still more than uh um equifax i mean not really like on paper equifax paid more but in reality not so much is it of mice and men oh yeah yeah i think it's of mice and men yeah all of the books from that era have all run together in my head it's a great read if you got time on your hands if you're just at home maybe check that one out george and lenny living off the fat of the land so uh yeah more of uh bad news for android wow not looking good but one bright spot in this is that in an unusual step actually maybe because this was so bad the researcher was like no i'm not going to reveal this no this is although maybe they're just on the dark way but like who wants it probably bad enough millions of android phones are at risk due to the achilles fall flaw in qualcomm chips so the demonstration video is the researcher played a malicious video which would then allow him to completely take over the operating system and do whatever he wanted and pretty much worst case scenario these are the high performance qualcomm chips they're in 40 percent of android handsets and the more expensive forty percent generally uh it's over a billion phones worldwide these are hardware flaws probably not fixable that'd probably be like intel well they'll have some kind of you know sloppy code fix but then they'll find more yeah and it just gets worse and worse and worse yep and oh boy did people take us to task last week for not reporting this but it happened after the recording date so again join patreon or floatplane we don't have a future site i'm sorry or don't if you're not in a position to do so if i were granted future site i could say that i would fix this but i would actually just use it to my own financial advantage and i would not do this anymore so what can i say massive 20 gigabyte intel ip data breach floods the internet and it mentions backdoors and intel response so the backdoors thing is probably a nothing burger but don't know you should not be downloading this this is proprietary intellectual property this is probably just stuff on like an internal intel portal that they share so this is probably not super confidential stuff but more like the stuff that intel shares with board partners who are building motherboards and systems around intel components not just their cpus but also their management engine network cards stuff like that network interfaces i should say do you see what tom's hard drive is doing with this image i do i do it's clever it actually it's a more interesting photo than what we typically get for these kind of stories so it's from shutterstock yeah we think they paid for that eight dollars yeah i was gonna say like ten bucks maybe how many clicks will they need to get to repay they probably have a shutter stock subscription yeah probably yeah yeah usually like a yearly subscription for a big company like this and uh when it comes to security and android you know there is it's just constantly like why why do they make it like that and the other embarrassment for google is the chrome extension library because oh god are there a lot of bad chrome extensions at this point i am completely untrusting of almost all of them yeah i mean there's some that i use that i feel like i have to have but i don't feel completely confident in them because you never know when it's just going to be like a plug-in or a library that they're going to use and not even know not even know we talked about that on tuesday cluster of 295 chrome extensions caught hijacking google and bing search results these malicious google chrome extensions have been installed by more than 80 million users now some of these were pretty obvious it's like why would anybody install that uh k-pop black pink wallpaper hd why would you ever why would you do that to yourself i there's a one of our editors has the uh the dark mode like dark mode everything the web extension installed i don't know specifically which one it is but it does some things that are deeply unsettling to me and so when i use i hear krista that's yeah that's my house what's happening is there a home invasion no a cop car just went by like my neighborhood's kind of like a loop so he like just looped around and then he disappeared the other way so i don't know where he's going now i gotta say i am tempted by the lil pump hd new tab but you just have to say no to these things one tab's not in there is it how many people downloaded gta 5 grand theft auto to be to severe disappointment i wonder if rockstar the rockstar legal team even it's like what do you mean there's a google chrome extension called grand theft auto 5. that doesn't do what we didn't know we had to be sending cease and desist letters for google chrome extensions that just never occurred to us but the good news is when one of these extensions inevitably steals all your passwords you do have a way to find out if they are now being uh traded among the dark knight segway lastpass will now warn you if your passwords show up on the dark web how does it do this have i been pwned researcher troy hunt has this amazing website have i been pawned and whenever a password especially a plain text password makes it into a leak he adds it to his database but sometimes even hashes so he will add the password hashes to his database and so you can check your password to see if your password or your password hash has ended up in a leak and you're probably thinking wow what a cash cow he must be making a ton of money off of that and you know what that prince of a man is in fact not making a ton of money it might be making a little bit he thought about maybe letting somebody acquire it if they would be good stewards of it and you know probably is pretty damning to the rest of the technology industry that once he got uh a look at that contract he made a somewhat different decision i'm opening so open sourcing the have i been pwned source code so it's not the database of all the breaches because he's put a lot of work into compiling the breaches and which by the way the blog posts on this are fascinating you should read those because he's he's exploiting like cloudflare and azure and stuff like the free services to like stack things together and cache it so when he imports a 400 million record thing it costs him like five thousand dollars one time and then all the cash lookups and stuff like that just cost fractions of a penny and that is pretty awesome but he's not open sourcing the data it's just the code base that does all this so you can make sure that it's you know reasonably secure and that it's not doing anything shady because you know you go to a web page and you put in your password and it tells you if your password has been leaked that doesn't sound scary at all but the way that he's done it like the technical expertise the way in which it was implemented is actually pretty brilliant chrome actually has an internal tool now that uh if you use one of those passwords it will warn you uh he's partnered with microsoft as well so like microsoft azure it's if you've got the azure cloud nonsense it's just one checkbox and if somebody in your organization is using your uh azure logins and the passwords have been stolen it'll flag it and it won't let them set that password well it seems like uh perhaps driven by the uh lack of more traditional employment because of the state of the world the ransomware people have really been picking up their activity and getting some big juicy targets lately i gotta think that some jobs are gonna be on the line here i mean this is just uh it's a painful thing for a company of this size canon confirms ransomware attack and internal memos this is the canon imaging site we don't know anything about the details here other than they apparently exfiltrated 10 terabytes of information some of it some of it may be user uploaded photos but we don't know so here is the the newsletter that came out bad news oh widespread system issues they couldn't get to any email or anything like that all their websites are down oh all these domains rip here's the message from the ransom people pretty good english in this one unfortunate and last week we talked about another one of these situations it might have been the week before and the question was what did they do well they're not saying but because they're not saying you kind of have to assume i called it garmin reportedly used decryption key it may have paid the ransom after cyber attack we initially did this story and i was like they totally paid the ransom and no one else is saying that i was right they didn't confirm it but they have to have paid the ransom well you know the good thing about it is that you don't gloat i can't wait for yeah i can't wait for uh jeff bezos remember when jeff bezos was hacked and he like you know hired a private investigator and spent unlimited amounts of money i can't wait for the ransomware people to do that with like the wrong person and they'd literally just send a hit squad after the ransom people but we'd never hear about it the play already happened it'll be done professionally and quietly well the the write-up that jeff bezos did for his thing was not done quietly but it was done professionally and it was amazing what if he goes to actually the actual you know link to kill a person there's somebody some amazing author like i want stephen king to write that story that would be an amazing story like just get stephen king in there and it's like based on the true events of jeff bezos best seller uh bezos lives in california right no has to be in dairy bane that's the only setting the uh obviously the if you're gonna hack if you're gonna you know steal data you're gonna use ransomware you don't go after the little the common man you go after the enterprise and that is why when you are in the enterprise you must take extra precautions and update your software hacker release passwords for 900 plus enterprise vpn servers the list has been shared on a russian speaking hacker form frequented by multiple ransomware games gangs so what happened here there was a vpn appliance that had a flaw dude broke into the vpn appliance planted malware to sniff the passwords got the passwords and then reported the passwords everywhere ouch also have the ssh keys so well if you do update that's not the only thing that you have to do all the passwords change everything and the keys bad news it's gonna be a busy weekend probably already was i love it when you get an incompetent system administrator and like they change the password but they don't delete your keys from ssh and you have to remind them it's like okay you change the password right it's like is it okay if i try to log in again to make sure you change the password correctly and they're like what do you think i'm an idiot and it's like i'm ssh stan and they're like what it's like you didn't delete the keys and then you shut down with system messages yes yes you're an idiot firefox you gotta hand it to them they are constantly doing more and more stuff that is security-minded and uh of course apple stole a little bit of their thunder with apples lately was like yeah we're shutting down security for everybody else or we're increasing security we're shutting down all that horrible stuff unless you're an apple app in which case it's okay but this step by firefox is going to be very aggravating to the advertising world firefox 79 clears redirect tracking cookies every 24 hours so this is one of the mechanisms that the ad industry uses to keep track of you across the site so like if you've ever been looking at something on a website like oh i might buy this from lowe's and then you're you know browsing google later and you get an ad for lowe's that's like hey buy this thing at a discount from lowes.com those retargeting pixels and those tracking cookies that redirect mechanism is part of how that works so the idea is if they were to delete all your cookies every 24 hours that would get annoying because you want some of those to just make your life easier although you know a lot of people argue just deal with the annoyance and not have that horror in your life but they're saying that we are pretty good at telling the good ones from the bad ones and the ones we identify as bad we're going to just flush out every 24 hours so unless you are constantly on these sites that are using these horrible things then you should get the reset the next time you do it they won't be able to see that you're the same person nice and speaking of horrible spine how about windows they do a lot of it and they have some controls now that lets you opt out of it but probably not really they're really never going to let you opt out of it and a lot of people have gone to some really great links to stop it there's a variety of ways you can do that but microsoft is getting hip to that windows 10 the host file blocking telemetry is now flagged as a risk so what you can do with your host file on your windows machine is set up entries that redirect common microsoft urls to just localhost or some other web page so you can set something so that the if you're trying to make a connection to a certain domain name it'll never go anywhere it'll never leave the local machine and so that's the thing that's being flagged now i talked to somebody at microsoft about this and they said the reason that they're doing this is because they get so many tech support questions from people to do this and then actually try to use the windows store because it turns out that all of the telemetry and all the domain names and all this nonsense for the windows store is the same as the windows operating system so if you actually want to use the windows store you have to allow some of these domain names i think that that was intentionally designed by a really just terribly evil person to be like alright i'm going to make parts of windows break if you don't want to be monitored if you don't want to consent to the telemetry but um that's why they said they were doing this of course of course they do it that way you can uh click enough times to say just leave me alone and let this happen they will still let you do that then if anything really bad does happen to your host file you will get no notification but my host file has never been molested outside of myself i don't know how common that is uh uh spybot search and destroy used to manipulate your host file there were a number of windows products that would manipulate your host's file to uh black hole like tracking domains and advertising domains and things like blue kai and that kind of stuff i should have put this with the other leak this was a bad sort look at this good stock photo i do love the stock photo it does perfectly communicate what's happening here source code from dozens of companies leaked online source code from exposed repositories of dozens of companies across various fields of activity tech finance food e-commerce manufacturing is publicly available as a result of a misconfiguration of their infrastructure no not this this thing that happens literally every week and every day so yeah they found some it was a specific it was like a chinese company or something and uh they had a bunch of big names you know but big names it's not the same as these companies leaking things i don't think it was a terrible leak in that case you know looks like the same as like the intel thing but still embarrassing it's always that third party go look at it if you're brave but don't blame us and moving on to nonsense the panda has long been the poster boy i shouldn't say boy the poster of the conservation world the uh wwe or no wwf all right yeah because it's because they took the name from the wwf and made them become the wwe their icon is the panda because it was long believed if we just save the pandas much like the uh the us government's ideas about the economy there will be a trickle down conservation if we just save the billionaires they'll take care of us exactly so trickle down conservation it was the pandas at the top and everybody else under them but maybe we were wrong study saving pandas led to the downfall of other animals this is a fascinating story you should go read this it's like what was it it's like it's all canines or not canines but like predators that that it affected well and uh a deer apparently the population of deer just exploded because there were no there were no predators yeah whatever you do to help the pandas it disrupts things surprise yeah snow leopard asian wild dogs down 95 percent snow leopards aren't canines krista how dare you why not say predator i i corrected myself so hey uh what a shock maybe we don't know enough to just meddle with nature release genetically modified mosquitoes what do restrict the rights of everybody in the world and change everything about business so that we can mess with the climate that we don't understand any more than this i'm sure that'll generate some comments there's a lot of carbon dioxide in the you know it just i don't know the carbon dioxide in the air bugs me because i want to put artificial oxygen concentrators in my house now to keep the the oxygen level high because like the oxygen bar thing that's the thing that's legit if you're ever in vegas and you want to go to an oxygen bar like try that you'd be surprised might do that post the thing yeah yeah or you could disease you could do what people have been doing for you know centuries and use plants yeah it's a good idea now i uh deal with uh csv data quite a bit comma separated value and i can tell you that there have been times when i've been trying to explain to somebody why this is the case and they're like well just make it work and i'm like i can't because microsoft are idiots and this is a uh you know there's no you can't save the column type in a csv because it's just data it's gonna do this every time you open the program and they're like that can't be true but it is and i hate it and so do scientists scientists rename human genes to stop microsoft excel from misreading them as dates so some of these genes are named like march 1 which it reinterprets as a date so the scientists are naming it march f1 which excel is like okay i'll leave this alone now you can change the column types but when you import csv yeah when you import it it's a huge pain in the butt to go in and like try to deal with it and it changes them before you get a chance okay it's horrific and the answer of course is not to use excel but a lot of these scientists i mean what else you're going to use right the university gave me excel and it was this weird bug with open office so i hate that personally just on a personal note i hate you microsoft for doing that to us i kind of understand it and again it's because most people want it to be the date it's a rare occurrence that you're studying whatever genomes and stuff but give me a way to stop it and of course we every week now we get this this thing where certain things names are problematic even though no one had bad intentions when they did it they still have to be purged from our memory and destroyed and now we've gone beyond the earth and we've reached out into the stars to find problematic entities nasa drops racially charged nick's names of celestial bodies so this is the eskimo cluster it is now not going to be called that and the siamese twin stars so this is this is probably going to be me sounding a little bit ignorant but like i understand the eskimo one because i know there's so many different tribes up there that they don't really like being put under one umbrella but like siamese twins is that considered offensive like i don't who does that offend well that's not the name of it it's co-joined siame we call them siamese because the there was a famous example from cyan that one seems less harmful but i mean whatever doesn't really make a difference listen kristen just because you hate the siamese i'm pretty sure that my grandma had an eskimo branded deep freezer yeah eskimo pies they mentioned is also renaming i don't there are a lot of those indigenous communities though yeah i'm never going to learn all those names i'm sorry i just don't have room for it in the old noggin it's mine like or just native no because there's the inuit does not describe all of them there's another one what's the blanket term i need just a new blanket indigenous i guess but that's not i guess not specific to the arctic yeah it's as descriptive as eskimo apparently eskimo meant uh raw meat eater because they're in the arctic yeah yeah they're just like you know killing those seals and eating the fat and stuff yeah i guess indigenous yeah what's they need they need a new term i'm fine if they want to don't want to be called that that's fine but like i just want to know what term to use you know what we should do much like a uh a sports stadium we should let a different corporation every year bid for the chance so you could have like oh this year they're the pepsi's and they'll get a big check to help them out how about that you know what i want to start a business that like we'll take 10 and we'll coordinate all that all of the oppressed people of the world will give them corporate money but they have to change their name to that corporation's name i really want to see like sports team versus sports team it's like the amazon delivery warehouse workers versus the uh apple assembly team they're never giving those people enough time off to participate no no they're professional athletes it's just that the name of the team is the mascot yeah good work so uh delivery boy like is that just like a version of jeff bezos but like a cartoon mascot yeah it's just a dollar sign and the other thing that we have to uh worry about in this new age that we live in where certain things are wrong and you know you don't know why and you're trying to negotiate that minefield and one of them is gender and samsung they're trying i don't know that they understand it but i don't know that i do either so maybe we can give them points for this i don't know samsung unpacked tech world reacts to gender fluid galaxy note 20 ultra yes that headline is not a typo now krista i'm assuming you didn't read this yet which is good no i didn't because i want to pull you now you are someone who works in design you're attuned to colors apparently you see colors when you listen to music which turns out not everybody does that apparently that's weird yeah yeah so what color without scrolling down what is the color of gender fluid silver wrong turns out it's kind of a copper-ish deal it looks like millennial pink i think pink would be gendered it does have kind of a pinkish hue to it though yeah yeah i don't i don't that doesn't say gender fluid to me i don't associate maybe that's the point that i don't think maybe that's a translation error from south korea yeah what were they trying to say though i'm sitting here thinking like they could have just made the phone like easier for smaller hands to hold and that would have been a more like important feature they also have these the name but they also have these new earbuds which are 100 beans they're kind of adorable though i don't hate them but you know when people did side by side lost in your ear well if you look at see that's just one it's not there's actually a little bud if you scroll down a little bit oh okay when you squeeze the bean and then like the guts come out although weirdly enough you know like this is very contoured versus everybody else it's almost like a a feminine curve which is not gender fluid at all it looks kind of like a kidney kind of problematic i personally don't like earbuds so that's just a non-entity to me but ugh so uh courts are now being done remotely because who wants to sit in a room with a bunch of other people who might get you sick and we've been using zoom to do some court hearings now this cannot be blamed on zoom zoom did increase the security a little bit they did add some controls for this kind of thing this is just the court and the judge not really understanding technology to hilarious effect zoom bombers interrupt uh oh the headline is twitter hack zoom court uh i messed that up twitter hack zoom chord hearing interrupted by porn video i'm not gonna say the headline because i fear demonetization zoom bombers interrupt the bond hearing for the alleged twitter mastermind so the judge had to postpone the hearing now the problem is you need to set these things to be administrators only in terms of microphone and screen sharing they did not do this no anybody involved who they pretended to be reporters from some various uh you know large newspapers they got in and they caused chaos yeah the best part of this article is like the picture at the top where the judge looks very concerned really reacting what am i looking at did i leave a tab open oh god this is the worst day ever but no now he said he was gonna they were gonna they had to you know cancel the hearing and reschedule it he said next time i'm going to put a password on it but that won't actually fix the problem no he still doesn't understand what's happening now crystal here's another i have another word here that i want you to try to uh pronounce but we'll do the headline first okay the saboteurs who can hi you can hire to end your relationship so under the picture the wording quotes there uh i will try wakka wakka ray sa saya waka that is a mouthful i am absolutely positive the uh emphasis was wrong there yes but i could not correct you i could not even begin to so yeah that's a word to mean someone that you try to get to cheat on your significant other so that you can break up with them and it turns out the reason for this is because in japan you can't just divorce somebody you have to have proof of infidelity or some other problem you can disagree with the it's like no we're going to work it out it's like i don't want to work it out no we're going to work it out now this story gets much darker so a guy hired one of these things that i can't pronounce to seduce his wife so that he could divorce her but then they fell in love it's a tale as old as time very successful so he picked her up they had a relationship he took the pictures but then fell in love with her but he satisfied the contract delivered the pictures and then in the the divorce hearing it came out as to what happened she found out but they were still in the relationship she decided to leave him because he was manipulative and ruined her life and in turn he decided to strangle her but she died that's a twisted web that's m not shyamalan level right there very sad but this is apparently a common thing in japanese culture and like this is a they're they've decided as a result of this case to require a formal license for this industry but it is otherwise something that is tolerated what do you think the licensing what's the training course look like a private investigation it's like you got to have a private investigator's license to do this now i saw so there's apparently a private investigator here in town i don't know if they're based here in town but they have a one of those big vans one of those big box fans and it's wrapped with private investigators it's like oh you're sneaking around in that thing huh it's parked in front of my house for a week what's going on it's the uh how are they called liar chasers yeah yeah i think it's the name of it like wow way to be inconspicuous i guess we kind of do have that here in the us too it's like you can get a divorce for any reason but if you want your significant other to not take half your stuff you have to show well in some states it still doesn't but it doesn't even matter i think california zero fault divorce i think as well they could be like literally setting your children on fire and in california's like oh give them half larry king uh you know a lot of celebrities will slip out of the limelight and and go gently into obscurity and take their mountains of cash with them and just be happy but some of them desperately need that attention they need to be in front of a camera and i've i'm uh i fear that mr king might fall into that category the disinfomercial how larry king got duped into starring in a chinese propaganda the broadcasting icon's fake interview with a russian journalist went viral on social media spread by accounts tied to the china's government remember those youtube comments we were talking about earlier or the youtube accounts yeah this is this is amazing you should go watch this so larry had his own he's got his own production company now he's not on tv anymore like the you know the major channels but he has his own thing and they kind of you know pulled back the curtain here and it's larry at 85 just shuffling in front of the camera and reading whatever they put in front of him and in this situation his producers actually tried to protect him and they were like larry for the love of god don't because it was just open-ended larry only recorded his part of the conversation no one knew what the responses were gonna be they just put a script in front of him he was like oh this is a good guy he's fine it was like this uh israeli guy that he knew so he did his part and then it was just pure propaganda on the other end and they released it and that's embarrassing why even bother with deep fakes when you could just hire it done yeah just get old dementia ridden celebrities we can get old dementia ridden dan rather it's like come on dan rather let's let's record some open-ended stuff i i can't remember how i ended up in this rabbit hole but like i found a tweet i think it was from dan rather and he used what term was it vibe he used the term vibe and he used it correctly in a tweet and i was like did dan rather write this or is this something like his media team the rights to dan rather bot have been sold to mega media corporation it was bizarre yeah i don't know i mean i i expect if you are still you know mentally all there you would adapt to the social media world and you know take on the language i don't think that's too hard to believe i don't know i mean you know it's that situation where i live in a state of arrested development right i refuse to take on most of the trappings of adulthood and you know like i don't want anything to do with kids or you know all that nonsense and so i'm able to mentally remain young but i'm still getting out of touch on some things i don't know yeah some things i don't want to be in touch on like tick-tock what i also said like tick tock i'll beat you to it i know eat it so i don't know i think dan could be young at heart maybe maybe we'll get him on the news here to talk about that that'd be fun did you write your tweets about vibing we need to know that's and then he's like you don't have any other questions like no just the one now we had several nonsense articles about india in which people claim these outrageous things will cure the problem that we got going on and it seems to be i don't know you think this is just a way to get attention on social media do these people really believe these things this one seems like it might be corporately motivated yeah he maybe got a little a little cash a little bit yeah kick back here yeah union minister arjun ram mengwal who said uh i don't know that bg well i think that's the the urine thing will save you has tested positive thing but bg is the brand name papaya is a kind of snack oh but bg is the the brand name of that snack yeah he's tested positive he's essentially saying eat twinkies yeah are they a cake snack do we know i i'm not sure this article just said snack oh no is this the is this the indian version of the bean thing because like remember that was the thing like trump had like the beans and he's like go your beans are amazing but that was because no that didn't have anything to do with the the pandemic it's just that they were attacking goya the left like you know the pronoun police were going after goya for something oh and he was like i love goya and they sold a million it kind of just looks like tortillas but i i can't tell i'm trying to find more info anyway it's some kind of snack that you can buy and his specific brand name so yeah it's kind of like him saying listen just eat wonder bread you'll be fine and presumably he if he knew that he would be eating them right because he tested positively he has it now and he's was basically telling people hey you don't need to go to science and all these ridiculous doctors for this just do this the moment he got it right to the doctor so he's now weird scared that's so weird oops sorry i hit the mic is it weird really we did a story remember the story about the kid who had a bb gun in the background yeah of his house and he was doing the online learning and the cops stormed his house that's a question of how much control should a school have when they're just looking into your home because your kid is now does a kid have to be on the camera they have a choice there yeah they have to be on the camera because otherwise they could just not even be there prove that they're there okay that makes sense well it kind of sucks if you have a computer without a camera well it also it also sucks if you're not a big fan of like me taking showers during the painting yeah school district bans students from wearing pajamas while doing online learning they've obviously never been to a college campus yeah there would definitely be people rolling in and sometimes it was funny because the thoughts would roll in yeah in their thursday night party out that's stinking of cigarettes and worse so a lot of the parents have argued it's like hey you don't get to tell me how to dress my kid in my own home who's in the right here krista what are you going to do when your kid is you know doing their online learning and they want to wear something outlandish i guess we'll have to do if we're doing public school we have to do what they said because i mean that's the curriculum fight the power i mean if you're at the public schools you know they've got their thumb on you you got to pick your own curriculum no you take a thumbtack and you drive it in and you bathe in their blood so i found this out recently um if you are a foster parent or i think even if you adopt a child i don't think you can do any kind of like alternative like homeschooling or anything like that you have to do public school i agree with that that sucks i agree with that if you're getting money yeah but like money right that that kind of sucks though like in this sort of particular scenario where it's like oh hey you're a foster kid so we're just going to send you to the public school even though you could do remote learning normally yeah but then you could get some really crazy stuff going on with homeschooling yeah i mean i understand why they have that in non-pandemic conditions but it's like i wonder if there's like weird edge cases now that but you could really influence their mind like if they didn't have those rules scientology could just harvest the foster homes yeah i just have them forever i've been watching those uh well it's like a good thing too for the kids because then they you know they get to go back to school and see teachers that they're already used to anyway i've been watching those police confession videos one of them this guy is a family and they already had kids and they they took in this foster daughter who was a real hellcat and she seduced the father and then and she was like we need to be together and he's like i can't i've got the wife so she was like oh don't worry about that and he was a trucker and he left for the week and she was like yeah i'll just stab the mom to death wow yeah well you know i was thinking about fostering but you know maybe huh don't get a 17 year old girl that's all i'm saying i don't know if you have a ton of choice over placements i'm just starting to research it yeah you should be in this like listen uh where's your menu there's so kentucky does have like a website with pictures of all the kids who are currently in foster care and it feels it's weird because it feels when you look at it it's like i feel like i'm on pet finder yeah but i'm looking at human beings and that's strange like have these children been tested for fiv yeah so a little blurb too like about things they're interested in and what their favorite subjects are in school it was strange strange to look at uh the protests the movement that we've currently been seeing in the world or in the country at least uh has definitely been uh anti-cop that is a sentiment that's really pervasive right now and it's weird how far people will go and their condemnation of all things law enforcement kindergarten cop screening canceled in oregon accused of glorifying police traumatizing children i didn't get down i didn't watch the same movie that they watched apparently yes so now none of the kids in the movie they point out were under investigation and uh he did not actually use his police powers against any of them it was a father who was dealing drugs but there was a shootout in front of the kids and they keep they constantly mention the school to prison pipeline that is a real thing that is a real thing but i don't think that really happens in kindergarten cop and i don't think we can bring blame uh governor schwarzenegger for any of that he's blameless here come on let him get his residual checks i don't know about you but um i have no desire to get on an airplane when it's unnecessary yeah yeah but apparently some people do to the tune of several hundred dollars that they're willing to be separated with in order to fulfill that need i guess eva air introduces a special flight to nowhere on a hello kitty plane i've been on this plane twice would you pay 200 to spend three hours on it again i the last time i it was a lot more than that for a lot more hours than that because this was the the flight to uh taiwan a couple of times do they only have the one plane that's hello kitty i believe so they've got another one that's themed something else and it is like the first time you experience it it is surreal so yeah this uh now they did they did a previous program for people who were just jonesing for the plane experience but they never took off they just taxied around a little bit this one is actually going to go into the air fly around the city so you can look out and look and enjoy the buildings and then come back and land in the exact same spot that you left i actually have a lot of b-roll of it from that kind of thing i got the at the airport while i was in taiwan this they claimed that this jet did you get the uh the three michelin star meal when you're on the jet no i did not that's uh reserved for not the class that i was when i flew yeah sorry but the the meal like the meal that i had in my regular business class or whatever it was was superb easily the best airline food that i've ever had and probably better than most of the restaurants around here well i've never been on an airplane where i've needed to eat a meal like i mean you know they give you peanuts and stuff but like 15 hours christmas i've never been on a flight that long but i would need to eat like dinner or breakfast it also gives you something to do while you're sitting there being bored out of your mind yes keeps people you know you get some some food in your belly get a little drowsy and it's good food it really is good food and they'll bring you more you should push to see how long to see how far you can take that see if you can eat the entire airplanes worth of food well i'm just i'm you know i'm contrasting to my experiences on like say uh u.s airways where it's like can i have a second bag of peanuts and they look at me like no you don't need a second bag of peanuts shut your mouth pig yeah pretty much now that i always include black hole stories it never fails because christa's uh unrealistic fear of them and now you know i've never felt strongly about the black holes i really only include them because krista's fear and it's hilarious to talk about that but now i am decidedly more pro-black hole based on this story because i've found out that black holes are actually a kind of birth control for the universe and i support birth control in all its forms but this one the black hole fails to do its job i didn't realize black holes really had a job i would like to know more and it's population control for stars basically wow the more we learn the more we realize we have no idea what we don't know i also like how they always have to have a picture of a black hole but you can't have a picture of a black hole so you get these various crazy things this was an x-ray so it turns out the black hole exudes super hot it's not air it's actually and that super hot energy calms down the stars who want to breed prolifically and it's like no instead of a cold shower it's more of a hot shower it calms them right down this black hole for whatever reason is just taking some time off and the stars are just out of control little star babies everywhere everywhere all these jupiter-sized planets just initiating fusion no no regard to radiation it's like an orgy it's like it's like a galaxy sized orgy so i don't know spark 104 922.6 get to work buddy krista how often do you have to leave the the pup at home i guess less right now during the work days i remember when you first got the dog there was a lot of back and forth yeah because she was little and she couldn't hold it all day so i would go home at lunch and let her out to pee now you don't you don't put her in the cage anymore right no no she doesn't have to do that anymore she's good now when she was a puppy she would tear stuff up so what do you think she does while she's just chilling out at home i think she probably does what she does now which is she sleeps she gets up and like she'll put her around the apartment and like chew on her toys and then she goes to the window and like looks outside she puts her her little chin on the the thing and looks out do you ever leave the tv on for anything like that i used to when she was a puppy i don't really anymore well i know that you are a spotify customer i am so you have no excuse spotify launches playlists for dogs left home alone there's actually a huge youtube category for this as well because again when was a puppy i was afraid she would be like freaked out by like neighbors and stuff like that so i would leave youtube playlists on of like eight hours of calming relaxing music for dogs hey reuters i got an alternative headline for you spotify defrauds advertisers by playing advertisements for dogs now they do say it's a mix of dog friendly music i don't know how you decide that and uh dog directed praise messages of affirmation who's a good boy who's a good girl remember the story from about two months ago where uh the the dogs really did not interact well with non-anthropomorphic devices that were emitting human speech it was a very low engagement from the dogs my cats have no interest in the speakers like it's just yeah it's just noise to them they don't care at all but you know the mouse toy could make the same noise and it's just blood curdling fear we were watching a movie yesterday and there was a scene where like you could hear russian over an intercom and rue was like almost asleep and she immediately perked up and looked at the tv and like cocked her little head oh my god she's a communist plant she's an agent she might be i was like do you understand that ruru why did you look up when you heard that no she was like is it time to activate do i kill them now uh we have uh you know done a little bit of uh live youtube stuff we get on twitch from time to time there actually every week and uh you know it's interesting it's a fun thing to do and a lot of people i think get addicted to that and they have to take it further you got to raise that bar because it is a fickle crowd they do i mean you do anything to bore them and they're like i'm out i got seven million other choices you entertain me or i'm gone and uh you can kind of understand how something like this would happen a korean youtuber accidentally set fire to his private part private parts on a youtube broadcast and received second-degree burns now it wasn't an accident it was stupid but it wasn't an accident so now he was playing fall guys have you guys seen fall guys it looks pretty entertaining it's like a it's battle royale but you know like mario party type thing and it does look like a really frustrating but also fun we might need to check that out i think it's a little too expensive for what it is anyway he promised his viewers that he would get a win he did not and so he said if i don't get a win yeah i will do what it says on the box and there's some screenshots here yeah they kind of walk you through the situation here he is feeling good this one's pixelated i don't know why it's it's pixelated but it's done so poorly like you can still tell exactly what's happening and then applying the lighter fluid and regret it mention how old this guy is he looks pretty young he's gonna be okay mostly they got a video and i was gonna watch it but this is the full three hour stream oh so i bailed out yeah i didn't have time for that what is that what is that is that a candle it's a sticker all right let's not get caught in the clickbait i also looked at the clickbait and had that same question of like what are those things but then i was like don't look at it now there are a lot of uh the narratives of tragedy to do with the current situation the pandemic and one of them maybe one of the most tragic of all it really it tied in a lot of the social themes that we have going on right now it was a native american it was a teacher it was a victim of the virus and ultimately a death and you're thinking wow god it doesn't get much darker than that how about the fact that it was completely fake a professor who was a twitter hoax the anonymous professor who wasn't professor arizona state university does not exist the only thing i could think after reading that headline was uh uh the night rider a shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist except this was just a twitter hoax and he also existed well his identity didn't exist so he was michael long not michael knight in fact he affected the world around him amazingly every week just an incredible impact on it so this was actually another person also a professor not anymore thankfully who decided to invent a human being a native american although the native american thing came later and this is where it gets interesting because after the invention of this fake twitter person who was pushing their narrative they got into a relationship with this fake person a very serious relationship and they were crushed when she died although they chose when she died and how poop is an agenda this seems like something on seinfeld where you know like uh you get too far into it yeah it's just yeah i can't stop now what do i do next i gotta kill her but how she can't just disappear george you can't kill her i mean the woman who did all this interesting history uh read up on her but she has finally admitted yeah i might have a mental health issue maybe i should look into that that still seems like the easy way out to say that i mean really well what else are you gonna say i'm going to remove myself from this earth it was me it was i who made up the professor well she didn't admit it people quickly found a lot of holes in the timeline because this was such an amazing story obviously you know the the media is very left-wing and they're like oh my god this is perfect let me get the facts and the facts just you know it's like the the raccoon trying to wash the cotton candy everybody who hasn't seen that is confused but you should look it up and it dissolves in water it's sugar but put the packet of sugar in water but the raccoon was like i'm gonna wash off my food because usually they're washing nuts off which is actually a smart practice it didn't know and it was the disappointment was just it transcends species the disappointment what if for the rest of its life it no longer trusted the wash and it was just riddled with disease and infections and our final story you know i love to put animal stories last because everybody loves a good animal story right some of them are tragic and those aren't very fun this one's i it some people would say it's tragic but it's also just hilarious it's just kind of bizarre the real question is if this was not done by the person installing the caller the balls on whoever did this can you imagine reward offered for information on who put trump 2020 sticker on bear a girl group of local activists is outraged so it was the bearish tracking collar it wasn't in the bear's fur or anything like that i would be outraged if somebody put a sticker in the bear's fur yeah but no it's just the track and caller so either uh this bear is just so chill and people know it that they let somebody get close or they had to be involved with the radio college somehow right you were thinking yeah well and with black bears too i mean like they're very easy to like food train where so if they find food and they start to associate that with humans you might not have been scared of humans someone was just like lull and slap the sticker on it well it's clearly not scared of humans because the woman who reported this she was outraged this bear was just chilling on her porch and that's who that's where we got the pictures there are some really good pictures there's one of it where it's just looking right up at her and this should be if if you could adopt black bears the picture of it looking up at the camera like i need the sarah mclaughlin music music over top of it i'm really hungry i don't want to maul you so if you've got some kibble or something i can eat that would be great some trash you know whatever you've got look at that keep america great and um a lot of people are outraged over this they pointed out that after calling the uh whoever's in charge of the radio cars they're like yeah this is not really a first we get political stickers on them all the time that's crazy something something trump sticker on a bear putin that's horrifying there's a there's there's something in there there's a conspiracy you could make yourself and post on 4chan you know there is someone who saw that and rather than the reaction we had their first reaction was like to grab the biden stickers and just head off into the woods and yeah it's like i gotta fight this fire with fire and the bears are just happy because they're getting fed all the time till winter comes then they get put down you think they'll ever be put down yeah because if they keep seeking out people that's what happens a fed bear is a dead bear oh okay can you feed them because then eventually they associate humans with food and humans get freaked out by bears and then they get put down what do you think about making this bear the official white house mayor i'm sure i'm sure when what if tweet re-trumps retrumps this what if trump retweets this how great would it be just to have a bear on the lawn of the water that's a guard bear so if any protesters make it over the fence can you imagine it's like just in the oval office he would probably make him set up a bunch of cameras so that they could broadcast it on the internet it was like like his wwe days was like oh if a protester gets mauled i mean that's going to be number one ratings right there and it's like what are you what are you doing listen i might tune in to see the the white house lawn bear i was gonna say you have morbid curiosity you would absolutely turn in oh i'm not even talking about him eating people i'm just chilling out i might tune in for that every once in a while let's see what it's like kitten academy but for the bear yeah bear house white house black bear that'd be a reality but then it's like they have a full season of that and the ratings are starting to go down and trump's like we need a grizzly now and they're like sir grizzlies are not nearly as docile as black bears he's like i need one aren't brown bears the worst yeah grizzlies yeah grizzlies brown bears yeah oh okay well pardon me and then you could then it's like you have to raise the stakes again then you bring a polar bear and that's just carnage do they all live together you keep replacing one with the other then what would do we do with the ones we cycle out uh they get pardoned like the turkey on thanksgiving and then they release them into the streets of washington dc you're still gonna need a camera crew for that all right that is all we've got for this episode how long did that go oh that went for an hour long time so i'll be a record length of news this week yeah i think krista give us uh the friendliest bear goodbye bye that was a good one that was good yeah you\n"
