Grumpy Old GeeksDancing in the StreetsThis week, we light a candle for lost legends and torch a few bad takes. In Follow Up, Molly White reminds us that giving a damn still matters—despite the rising tide of apathy (and flaming robotaxis in downtown L.A.).

Grumpy Old GeeksGoing AntiquingOn this week’s episode of Grumpy Old Geeks, we kick things off with the glorious meltdown of two of our least favorite Bond villains: Elon Musk and Donald Trump.

Meanwhile, someone at DOGE admitted the U.S. government wasn’t entirely incompetent, so naturally, they got fired.

Meanwhile, over at Meta, Zuckerberg’s brilliant idea to loosen content moderation has, shocker, led to more harassment and violent content. Elsewhere in tech dystopia: Texas is trying to ground all minors off social media, Germany wants to slap a 10% tax on Silicon Valley, and Anthropic is handing out free search powers and a board seat to Netflix’s Reed Hastings. Because nothing says “trusted AI governance” like a guy who green...2025-05-311h 17
Grumpy Old GeeksWatch Out for That Tree!This week, we kick things off with the return of Space Karen’s meltdown tour: Elon Musk got flustered in an interview, sputtered out one-word answers, and called the journalist an “NPC,” which is rich coming from the guy whose only real upgrade since PayPal is yelling “freedom” in meme fonts. Meanwhile, 23andMe sold your DNA to Regeneron at a bankruptcy auction, proving once and for all that your spit is more valuable than most tech startups.IN THE NEWS is a parade of corporate idiocy and dystopian fuckery.

Apple, we find yet another reason to question Cupertino’s moral compass.Then it’s time for a trip through the tech trash fire.

Grumpy Old GeeksConfabulation and FrivolityThis week, the boys kick things off with some serious déjà vu as Fyre Fest’s favorite grifter promises he’s totally throwing another festival — because nothing says “I’ve changed” like doubling down on the same scam.

Also: Microsoft’s long game of “let OpenAI set the money on fire while we build empires” is going exactly as planned.In the news, it’s Elon all day: Starlink might be doing the same government freebie hustl...2025-04-111h 26
