[Ep 920] Everything They Deserve [2:23:54] Recorded: Sat, 2025-Jan-25 UTC Published: Mon, 2025-Jan-27 01:59 UTC |
This week on Curmudgeon's Corner Sam and Ivan can't avoid it any more, and start talking about the new Trump presidency. They talk specifically about the January 6th pardons and the actions against DEI programs, but more generally they talk about how to Trump everything is about commanding attention. Plus a few other random things to round things out.

On this week's Curmudgeon's Corner, Sam and Ivan seemingly do everything they can to avoid talking about the end of the Biden presidency and the impending start of Trump's. So the topics are Starship exploding, attending inaugural balls (not Trump's though!), email classification and spam filtering, and the TikTok ban. And extra bonus strange noises at the end.

[Ep 918] Doubled Down [2:04:12] Recorded: Sat, 2025-Jan-11 UTC Published: Sun, 2025-Jan-12 07:12 UTC |
This week on Curmudgeon's Corner Ivan and Sam return to the normal format. No predictions, just yammering about stuff. On the serious side we have Zuck's changes at Meta, the fires in LA, and, of course, Trump. On the lighter side we have discussions of taking time off, returning to the office, and the importance on not pinching pennies on your chair. So there ya go!
