The Raw Chicken Edition
We are back with another week of news that didn’t get enough attention. Tweaked the format a bit and included a main topic. This week, we discuss TikTok again, Meta banning users from exposing ICE, Microsoft will sell you out to the feds, and AI will be making government legislation soon.Our main topic this week is some of the weirdest things that I found on social media.

New Year, What's This?
It’s 2026 and we are back. After a tumultuous 2025, I’m in a better situation that will allow me to come back to the show. I’ll explain more in the episode. In our return episode, we are talking about the finalized deal between the US and TikTok, Microsoft having some issues and Threads is having more users than Twitter.This show will continue to stay weekly, starting this week. All my other shows will go on being every two weeks. At least in the meantime, and will switch if more interest is shown.

Hulu Goes Buh-Bye
We are back with some of the under reported news stories from the past week, August 3 through 8.
