Nonsense desperately tries to make sense of today’s business, technology, and (sometimes) entertainment headlines. Not too serious and occasionally funny, join technologist cj little and leggy blonde Jeff Parker for their unique take on the past week. While we can’t promise you’ll laugh every week, we can promise you’ll learn something new (and maybe even interesting). New episodes drop every Tuesday & Thursday mornings (UTC).

    HEADLINES: Lawsuits for Likes, Haunted Python, & the Great Router Ban of ‘26
    Mar 31 2026

    Is social media a "lion hunting a gazelle"? A California jury thinks so. We’re breaking down the $3 million verdict against Meta and YouTube that focused on "product liability" rather than free speech. It turns out that infinite scroll might be legally equivalent to a car without seatbelts, and the legal floodgates are officially open.

    We also tackle the LiteLLM breach - a digital house fire that’s currently stealing API keys and cloud tokens across the tech industry. It’s a "transitive risk" nightmare that shows just how vulnerable the AI revolution really is when the underlying code gets poisoned by hackers.

    Lastly, grab your flags, because your next router might have to be 100% American. The FCC has blacklisted foreign consumer routers to stop state-sponsored botnets from hijacking our power grids. We dig into whether this is a genius security move or a massive shock to the tech industry that’s going to leave us all staring at "No Connection" icons.

    Why did a mysterious trader or two just bet six figures that the U.S. government will confirm the existence of ETs by the end of the year? This week, the guys dive into the xenological deep end to find out if someone knows something we don’t, or if the prediction markets have finally lost their minds.

    They’re pulling back the curtain on why the government is so obsessed with keeping their UAP data under lock and key - and hint: it has more to do with our own "god-like" satellite sensors than it does with little green men.

    From the "Sensor Trap" to the "Galactic Graveyard," we break down the math of why we’re probably not alone, even if we’re just living in a universe full of extinct civilizations. We’re talking Drake Equations, the terrifying precision of Next-Gen Infrared, and why plate tectonics might be the reason you’re smart enough to listen to this podcast. Grab your tinfoil hats; it’s about to get astronomical.

While Kyiv pitches low-cost interceptors to the Gulf, Meta is "de-layering" its human staff to fund a $135 billion AI infrastructure binge. From acquiring a social network exclusively for bots to pushing a 1:50 human-to-AI management ratio, Zuckerberg is betting the farm on a future where your coworker is a line of code.The "Year of Efficiency" gets even weirder as an EU study finds a 100% failure rate in headphone safety, revealing that your favorite "premium" brands are leaking hormone-disrupting chemicals directly into your ear sweat. To cap off the chaos, a new $100,000 H-1B visa fee designed to tax tech titans has accidentally "body-slammed" rural schools and hospitals.
