This week on Curmudgeon's Corner Sam and Ivan discuss tech, including problems with the advertising model, and of course Elon actually taking over Twitter. And they discuss politics, including the assassination attempt on Nancy Pelosi, how everybody thinks the other party wants to destroy America, how absolutely everything just comes down to gas prices, and more. Before all that though, a bit about editing the podcast, AI art, and a couple books!
