Professionally Aggressive Morons · Stuff Keeps Happening

hello i took a week longer than i had expected
0:03
but stuff still happened so what's up i'm back
0:08
i had a sinus i had a sinus infection sorry it
0:11
wasn't back last week but i'm back a lot happened
0:14
holy wow a lot happened here's some of it habeas
0:19
corpus Sounds woke to me. Stephen Miller, who
0:22
is a senior advisor at the White House, and the
0:25
answer to the question, what if we put every
0:27
vile trait of a human being into one person,
0:29
wants to suspend the right to habeas corpus.
0:32
What is it? Is it communist? A little bit. Habeas
0:36
corpus is the concept that you are essentially
0:37
allowed to challenge the government when they
0:39
detain you. to make sure that people don't get
0:41
detained illegally. It's due process, in a word.
0:45
It's essentially, you have a right to not be
0:47
illegally imprisoned. And so here we have a very
0:50
loud fascist white supremacist advisor to a fascist
0:52
administration being like, hey, let's take away
0:55
people's right to challenge imprisonment. Can't
0:59
go wrong. Miller is abhorrent. And he's abhorrent
1:02
for many, many, many reasons. But he's also just
1:04
loudly a white supremacist, and people just kind
1:07
of let that happen, which is... Whack? The dude
1:10
is in favor of re -migration, which is a not
1:13
particularly clever way to say remove everyone
1:15
from the country who is not of white European
1:18
descent, which itself is not a particularly clever
1:20
way of saying ethnically cleanse the country.
1:23
He's one of the most senior officials in the
1:25
administration, and I truly am baffled by his
1:28
existence. He's... The worst human I can imagine?
1:32
Speaking of terrible humans, 17 states and the
1:34
District of Columbia are suing the Trump administration
1:36
over an executive order from his first day in
1:39
office. The executive order is titled The Temporary
1:42
Withdrawal of All Areas on the Outer Continental
1:45
Shelf from Offshore Wind Leasing and Review of
1:48
the Federal Government's Leasing and Permitting
1:50
Practices for Wind Projects. That's what I named
1:52
my firstborn. I don't have children. Probably
1:55
for a good reason. So what this order does, if,
1:58
you know, I know you got it from the name, but
2:00
let's just talk about it real quick, just for
2:02
them over there. It stops wind farming. It essentially
2:05
halts permits for all wind energy, especially
2:08
offshore wind energy, and wants to review how
2:10
we're doing wind energy production domestically.
2:13
This is all because the guy hates quote -unquote
2:16
windmills. He's famously anti -windmill. I'm
2:20
saying windmill with air quotes because... It's
2:23
not a windmill. It's a wind turbine. Those are
2:25
very different things. This man is the president
2:28
of a country for the second time. A country with
2:31
an energy grid. And he's still mixing that up.
2:34
But that still doesn't get to why he hates them.
2:36
He hates them because wind turbines were built
2:38
visibly offshore from one of his properties in
2:42
Scotland. That is legitimately why he doesn't
2:45
like them. Like he's been on a tirade ever since
2:47
he lost a legal battle to prevent the construction
2:50
of offshore wind farms visible from his property.
2:54
And so because of this beef from this loser,
2:57
an entire country just loses an option for renewable
3:01
energy. Human beings with functional circulatory
3:04
systems cast votes for this man. I'm in awe.
3:08
Like this isn't new. None of this is new information.
3:11
This is just what he does. Anyway, in before
3:14
some loser jumps into the comments and is like,
3:17
this is what I voted for. ICE is still out here
3:20
doing their best SS cosplay, despite the Department
3:22
of Homeland Security almost being out of money.
3:24
The Department of Homeland Security in the US
3:26
is about a billion dollars over budget already
3:29
and is at risk of being past their budget before
3:32
the end of the fiscal year, which is a crime.
3:35
It's actually a crime to spend money that was
3:37
not allocated to your department. Nothing's going
3:41
to happen here, but it's a crime. But what are
3:44
they doing with that money? Don't worry. They're
3:45
being very responsible. For example, they detained
3:47
a 54 -year -old Irish woman for 17 days recently.
3:51
She's a legal resident of the country. She's
3:52
been here for decades and had one small skirt
3:55
with the law 20 years ago. And they detained
3:58
her for 17 days as she was returning from a trip,
4:01
checking on her sick father. Held for 17 days
4:03
because... But they're also spending your money
4:06
by causing mass panic in neighborhoods, by chasing
4:08
people down in broad daylight, unmarked and masked.
4:11
The American dream is hearing screaming outside,
4:14
running out into your neighborhood and seeing
4:15
your neighbors arrested by unidentified federal
4:18
agents. Makes me feel really comfortable about.
4:21
psychotic people who would use that to their
4:24
advantage. Very cool, very safe, very healthy.
4:26
They also arrested the sitting mayor of Newark,
4:29
New Jersey, who was with his constituents protesting
4:31
an ICE detention facility that is not wanted
4:34
in the area. Here's something cool. A bunch of
4:37
people from this locality were like, fuck this.
4:39
We don't want this, including the mayor. And
4:42
then the federal agents just arrested them. Because
4:45
states' rights, you know, it's important for
4:47
states' rights so that they can determine what
4:49
kind of a state they want to run. Unless it goes
4:52
counter to a fascist dictator. Doubly so if they
4:55
can use footage from arrests in your state to
4:57
satiate their base. Anyway, here's a bit of an
5:00
upshot. There was a hack recently at an airline
5:03
that ICE uses to deport people. A bunch of hackers
5:06
defaced the website and released information
5:08
to the press. from their servers 404 media obtained
5:12
this and they were actually able to find information
5:13
about a man who has been hidden from his family
5:17
by ice the dude was disappeared they had no information
5:20
they've been stonewalled by the government but
5:22
hackers got a hold of the manifest and were able
5:24
to give him to journalists who were then able
5:26
to inform a grieving family do more of that all
5:29
right john federman is losing it we knew this
5:32
uh and we knew he was never really all that great
5:35
But he's losing it. So John Fetterman, he's a
5:37
senator from Pennsylvania. He was up against
5:40
Dr. fucking Oz in the election. So don't get
5:44
me wrong. Like, I'm not a Fetter boy. But the
5:48
seat's better off with him than Dr. Oz. If you're
5:51
not familiar, Dr. Oz is a quack TV doctor that
5:55
Oprah Winfrey gave a program a while back. That's
5:57
his credentials. But Fetterman has honestly not
5:59
been all that much better. He successfully swindled
6:02
progressives in Pennsylvania, convincing him
6:04
he was going to fight for them, and then completely
6:06
heel turned on them. He is strongly pro -Israel.
6:09
He's like besties with Netanyahu. He was even
6:12
recently gifted a silver -plated beeper from
6:15
Netanyahu after Netanyahu used beepers with bombs
6:19
hidden in them to do a terrorist attack on a
6:22
civilian population. We've gotten recent reports
6:24
from his staffers that he's just been irate and
6:26
uncontrollable. We had that video of him arguing
6:29
with people on an airline about whether or not
6:31
he had to wear his seatbelt. And now we've got
6:33
a story from a town hall he did with a teacher's
6:35
union. Apparently during the meeting, he started
6:37
to just lose his shit, was bashing his fists
6:39
on the table and just repeatedly saying, why
6:41
does everybody hate me? I didn't do anything.
6:43
It got so uncomfortable that staffers actually
6:45
ushered people out of the room. One staffer was
6:48
outside just like shaken and the teachers were
6:50
trying to provide any amount of comfort that
6:52
they could. But hey, on the topic of not having
6:55
done anything, maybe don't do the things that
6:58
I just listed that were shitty. Why does everybody
7:01
hate me? I'm just a dick to my constituents.
7:03
Weird. Anyway, here's an idea. Shut the fuck
7:07
up and resign. I'm going to let you down gently
7:09
with this one because this is kind of hard. The
7:11
Fox News host that we made, the Secretary of
7:14
Defense, it's not going well. I know this is
7:17
shocking and surprising, but... I just wanted
7:20
you to hear it from me. It's going poorly enough
7:22
that the White House has actually removed his
7:24
choice of chief of staff and taken away that
7:27
choice from him. Pete Hegseth, a white supremacist
7:30
alcoholic wife beater who is a former Fox News
7:32
host, basically has no experience and should
7:34
not be at the head of an army, tried to appoint
7:37
some random dude that everyone hates to be his
7:40
chief of staff. Here's a quote from a White House
7:41
staffer about the guy that Hegseth wanted to
7:44
be chief of staff. Quote, He doesn't have adequate
7:46
experience, lacks the political chops, and is
7:49
widely disliked by almost everyone in the White
7:52
House who has been exposed to him. Me too. So
7:54
yeah, the White House has basically said, nah,
7:56
we're gonna pick your chief of staff. Hegseth
7:59
has just been a disaster, and I'm guessing they
8:02
just don't want to go back on his nomination,
8:04
given how hard they fought for him. I... I do
8:08
not think he is long for this role, but that's
8:10
a given. It's the Trump administration. We are
8:13
past policy. We're done. We're moving on to world
8:17
stuff. World star. Not, no. Anyway, world stuff.
8:21
Pope. We Pope. Got a Pope. We Poped it. Pop,
8:24
pop. It's a Pope. Peepaw. It's the Pope time.
8:27
I don't know what I'm doing. It's been a long
8:29
life. So Pope Francis died, but now we got a
8:32
new one. Pretty quickly. It was like a day and
8:34
a half. We got a new one. Pope Leo the 14th.
8:37
He's from Chicago. I can't, it's just a weird
8:41
concept. We now have a Pope who probably has
8:44
a hot dog order. Like he knows what he wants.
8:46
Shout out to Chicago style hot dogs. That shit's
8:49
rad. Anyway, yeah, there's not a whole lot to
8:52
say yet. It's new Pope. He's doing new Pope things.
8:54
He's, I saw that he wears an Apple watch, I guess.
8:57
That's, that's, he's just like us. The best thing
9:01
to come out of the whole new Pope thing though,
9:02
is that he has a brother who's just been. Real
9:05
excited to tell us all about it. We've just been
9:07
getting headline after headline from the Pope's
9:09
brother, where he's just like, yeah, he fucking
9:12
is real good at Fortnite and shit like that.
9:15
Side note, I don't think that he said the Pope
9:17
is good at Fortnite, but who knows? It's 2025.
9:20
Now, what's he like? I don't really know, but
9:23
by all accounts, he's like a pretty good dude
9:24
and relatively moderate. I don't have, I don't
9:27
really have high expectations when it comes to
9:29
Pope, Pope, Pope Puri, but wishing you all who
9:33
are the Pope folk, Wishing you good popes. Have
9:36
at it. India and Pakistan were escalating towards
9:38
an all -out war until very recently when they
9:41
signed a ceasefire that, at time of recording,
9:44
seems to be holding. For the past few weeks,
9:47
there have been just exchanges on either side
9:49
of the border between India and Pakistan. And
9:52
recently, the Trump admin came out and were like,
9:54
we facilitated ceasefire talks. It's unclear
9:59
what exactly happened. It seems like the White
10:01
House is pressuring India and Pakistan to come
10:03
to a ceasefire agreement. But according to both
10:05
India and Pakistan, they had direct communication
10:07
talks where they agreed on a ceasefire. And now
10:10
both sides are claiming victory. About 30 minutes
10:13
after the ceasefire agreement, there was like
10:15
an explosion in Kashmir. And so people were concerned
10:18
the ceasefire wasn't going to hold. But since
10:20
then, it's been mostly calm. This is very dynamic.
10:23
This could absolutely change at any moment, but
10:25
that's where we are right now. Really hoping
10:28
this doesn't re -escalate. We don't need that.
10:30
We've got enough going on. Technology. Apple
10:33
done stepped in it. So Apple's been fighting
10:36
a legal battle with Epic Games for years now
10:38
over Apple's locked down ecosystem of payments
10:41
on iOS. If you have an iPhone, you've probably
10:44
dealt with apps that don't let you sign up for
10:46
a subscription unless you go to their website
10:48
or apps that are more expensive if you sign up
10:51
through iOS than through their website. That's
10:53
because Apple takes a 30 % cut and requires developers
10:56
to go through their payment services. Or at least
10:59
that's what they were doing and they... They've
11:02
been fighting to keep it that way. A judge ruled
11:04
in 2021 that they can't be doing that. They got
11:06
to allow other payment systems. And Apple has
11:09
apparently been doing everything, every step
11:11
of the way since then, to prevent that from actually
11:14
happening. According to recently reviewed law
11:17
stuff, Tim Cook has been actually pushing for
11:19
them to skirt the court ruling, even if other
11:22
executives were like, hey, maybe we should just
11:25
adhere to that. So because of this, the judge
11:27
was actually like, hey, y 'all, I'm about to
11:30
hold Apple. in criminal contempt of court. To
11:33
which Apple was like, whoa, we're going to appeal?
11:37
Actually, let's not go there. Apple's lawyers
11:40
say that if they have to support the court ruling,
11:42
they're going to lose vast sums of money. I plugged
11:46
that into a calculator. I subtracted it from
11:48
Apple's current cash on hand. And the calculator
11:51
said that the result would be vast sums of money
11:54
still. I'm not a math magician, but the little
11:57
guy in my calculator is, and I trust him with
11:59
my life. Hey, don't make an AI rendition of me
12:01
for anything. Just on the outset of this next
12:04
story. Lots of stuff from 2021 this time around.
12:07
A man named Chris Pelkey in 2021 was killed during
12:10
a road rage incident. There was some road beef.
12:13
Dude pulled out a gun, shot him, and killed him.
12:15
That was back in 2021, and there have been trials
12:17
ongoing. But Chris's family decided to recreate
12:21
him using AI by feeding videos and pictures of
12:25
him into an AI that then generated his own impact
12:28
statement to speak from beyond the grave in court.
12:32
The result is like a monotone, robotic, genuinely
12:36
terrifying construction that in my opinion feels
12:39
like a desecration of this man's memory. Hello.
12:43
Just to be clear for everyone seeing this. I
12:46
am a version of Chris Pelkey recreated through
12:48
AI that uses my picture and my voice profile.
12:52
I was able to be digitally regenerated to share
12:55
with you today. But here's the part that I cannot
12:58
reconcile. Now look, this was an initiative done
13:01
by his sister and family. Like, the people who
13:04
saw the video, who are related to this guy, liked
13:07
it. I don't know him. The video makes me very
13:10
upset. But the judge liked it too. The judge
13:14
was all about it. so the judge liked it and the
13:16
family was for it they were the ones that drove
13:18
it i cannot wrap my head around the idea of being
13:22
happy that a computer has interpreted what your
13:27
dead loved one might say even going as far as
13:31
to say like it's great to see you all here today
13:33
it means a lot to me you're a computer you don't
13:36
get to Pretend you know what the feelings of
13:40
a man coming back from the dead to address a
13:43
court regarding the fate of his murderer would
13:46
be. Don't AI me, please. We're doing it again.
13:55
We're doing Theranos again. Elizabeth Holmes
13:57
of Theranos Infamy is currently in jail. She's
14:00
a jail girl. She made Theranos, which was a company
14:03
that she claimed was going to revolutionize the
14:05
diagnosis industry. Got a bunch of investments.
14:07
Turns out it was bullshit. Now she's in jail.
14:10
But now her partner is fundraising for a new
14:12
startup. An AI diagnosis startup. She's all for
14:17
it. She's promoting it from within jail. She's
14:19
also talking about rejoining the healthcare med
14:21
tech industry after she gets out of jail. Talking
14:23
about how she's writing patents from behind bars.
14:26
Yeah, okay. Hey, Rot. Rot, you made a fraudulent
14:30
company that took people's money and sold false
14:33
promises of a better medical future for people
14:35
who desperately need it. no don't come back gaming
14:39
grand theft auto 6 has been delayed until spring
14:42
2026 fulfilling one of my 2025 year predictions
14:46
which granted was the easiest one of them all
14:49
like it was gonna it was gonna happen we knew
14:51
that they insisted they said it wasn't gonna
14:53
happen but that just made it more gonna happen
14:56
stop right there criminal scum so that we can
14:59
play oblivion yeah while i was gone i'm just
15:02
talking about this because it happened while
15:03
i was gone and i need to talk about it Bethesda
15:05
released the Oblivion Remastered game. Elder
15:09
Scrolls Oblivion Remastered. Nailed it. The Elder
15:13
Scrolls IV Oblivion is a 2006 open world RPG
15:16
that is notorious for hysterical NPC interactions.
15:19
This remaster, beautifully, upgrades all the
15:23
graphics, but does not touch the game logic.
15:25
So you get to play this game that it feels a
15:28
lot more like a modern game now. But then you
15:30
go into town and every single NPC just like turns
15:33
and faces you and is like, hello there. Just
15:36
a cacophony. And then the second they're done
15:38
greeting you, they all turn to each other and
15:40
just start saying the most out of pocket bullshit
15:42
you can imagine. Just complete non sequiturs
15:45
back and forth. It is. It's an experience. Anyway,
15:48
the game is genuinely pretty good. I'm just happy
15:50
that it exists. Stardew Valley people, rejoice
15:53
in the future. The developer of Stardew Valley
15:55
was recently on a podcast where he said that
15:57
he might eventually make a Stardew Valley 2.
15:59
Now, to be clear, this is not an announcement
16:02
of Stardew Valley 2. So Stardew Valley has been
16:04
ridiculously popular. It essentially revitalized
16:07
an entire genre, and now that genre is hyper
16:10
-populated. So it's genuinely a good thing that
16:12
he's not going right to Stardew Valley 2 because
16:14
there's... too many games that are effectively
16:16
Stardew Valley 2 right now. He's been working
16:18
on a game called Haunted Chocolatier for a while,
16:21
but primarily he just keeps going back to working
16:23
on Stardew Valley, releasing a ton of free content
16:26
updates, which we like that. Thank you. But this
16:29
is the first time that he's actually acknowledged
16:30
that Stardew Valley 2 might actually happen at
16:34
some point. So get out your overalls and... Pet
16:40
your chickens. Lightning round. We've got a new
16:43
combination flu and COVID shot that is actually
16:45
more effective than individual flu and COVID
16:48
shots. So that's woo. In his own words, the MyPillow
16:52
guy is, quote, in ruins financially, as he is
16:56
required to pay a bunch of legal fees. Some dude's
16:58
been stalking Eminem for years and recently broke
17:01
into his house for the third time. He's very
17:03
in jail. There's new research into improved Lyme
17:06
disease treatment that looks pretty promising.
17:08
Still check yourself for ticks after going for
17:10
a hike. Warren Buffett is retiring at 94 years
17:13
old, showing us that he would never have made
17:15
a good senator. An eight -year -old in Kentucky
17:17
ordered 70 ,000 lollipops for himself and his
17:21
friends using his mom's phone. kind of took it,
17:23
ordered a shitload of lollipops on Amazon, and
17:27
they showed up. The perfect crime. She tried
17:29
to return them, but it was too late. And finally
17:32
for today, this is important. There is now video
17:34
of the world's tallest dog meeting the world's
17:37
smallest dog. This is important. Thank you so
17:39
much for listening to today's episode of Stuff
17:41
Keeps Happening. Head to skh .news for sources,
17:44
bonus content, and a whole new world. My name
17:49
is Endeavorance. I'll be back on Monday. Take
17:51
care and be well.
