Brendan Carr x John Stewart

@jwlove66
As someone that works in the gov overseeing IT upgrades .. this level of fuckery is absolutely real.

@Glyff3083
The thing people don't point out is this is on purpose. They make sure every cent goes to them. They create positions and tasks that take zero effort to get a paycheck so they can just shove money in their pockets

@RAWBOT301
Billions are wasted on proposals that go nowhere when they could have used that money laying fiber cables.

@dan8910100
The purpose of the bureaucracy is to justify the existence of the bureaucracy. Peak Karentocracy

@groundhog7063
They had 56 applicants that each got $5 million dollars in planning grants, then all but 3 applicants dropped out along the way. Fifty-three applicants dropped out of the program. That's $265 million that, in the end, accomplished absolutely nothing.


In his latest video, John Stewart discusses the $42 billion government broadband scandal with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Commissioner Brendan Carr.

Carr has been critical of how the Biden administration's Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program — a $42.5 billion initiative under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act ― has been managed, arguing that funds are being misallocated to areas that already have high-speed internet rather than prioritizing unserved or underserved communities.

Star Forts ended the Middle Ages

@christophmorley7510
The suburb of Vauban in Freiburg in Germany, where I am from, is even named after Sébastien Vauban. His work included old fortress ruins of the city, as well as the fortess of Neuf-Brisach in the Alsace, which appears on the very east of the map at the end of the video and is not far away.

@grandmanitou6563
Not only was Vauban the supreme grandmaster in fort creation, he was also the greatest of all time when it came to take fortresses down and truly perfected the art of siegecraft both in offense and defense.

@Echoak95
It is missing one of the oldest, biggest and most important Star forts, Vienna. After the first Siege of Vienna, Italian stonemasons spent 100 years building one of the biggest fortresses in the world; right up until the second siege of Vienna. The walls were over 9 km long and had dozens of bastions, which led to one of the biggest sieges in history.


The history of Star forts is super interesting - they sit in Europe (and around the world; look at St. Augustine) as visual artefacts of a literal Medieval/Renaissance arms race. Learning about them teaches us about technological innovations that ended the medieval period and created the groundwork for the modern era. It also shows how crucial the cannon was as an invention of late medieval warfare.

Tyler Vargas-Andrews x Shawn Ryan

@rickychristiansen9830
Don’t stop holding their feet to the fire. Every American needs to watch this. Great testimony Tyler, thank you.

@huntercarroll124
I was there for the withdrawal as a medic in the 82nd at HKIA. We were ordered to do a police call of the area even after the attack on the 26th. Paratroopers picking up trash out in the open within 200m of the Taliban and ISIS-K. Leadership during this withdrawal was horrendous and I’m still in disbelief about how it went down.

@oscarthegrouchinTX
As a Marine vet, Thank you, Shawn, for exposing all the BS in failed leadership. Nothing but respect for this Marine and all the sacrifices he's made for our country. Semper Fi. Love the show, sir.

@andrewmartin7106
This one hurts so much. This administration has the blood of 13 service members, 1000s of afghans, and my buddy who killed himself because what he saw out there, on its hands. 45+ servicemembers wounded. My bro who was the chillest dude ever, can't sleep anymore because of what he saw here. And nobody is doing anything about it.

@JP-qh9lc
I Appreciate you covering this topic. RIP fellow Marines. Never forgotten

@gregwilson1613
Going straight to the uncensored version. I'm an Afghan vet and the fact that they are censoring this is even more infuriating. Adding insult to injury. Thank you for the work you are doing Shawn

@cal9220
Tyler this quote was written for you over 1000 years ago... "No carelessness in your actions. No confusion in your words. No imprecision in your thoughts. No retreating into your own soul or trying to escape it." ― Marcus Aurelius



The United States withdrew the last of its troops from Afghanistan in August of 2021, signaling the end of a nearly 20 year conflict that cost 8 Trillion dollars and the lives of 900,000 people, including over 7,000 U.S. Service Members. The U.S. exit from Afghanistan resulted in the Taliban reestablishing armed control of the country and created a refugee crisis as over 1.5 Million Afghans fled. The withdrawal has been widely considered a disaster and a gross display of incompetent leadership from the President down, echoing similar failures seen at Saigon nearly half a century earlier.

SRS is honored to present the story and view point from one of the Marines on the ground in Kabul, just days before the last U.S. Embassy fell–Tyler Vargas-Andrews. On August 26th, Vargas-Andrews was gravely wounded by a suicide bombing at the gates of Kabul's Airport, ultimately losing two limbs as a result of his injuries. This premeditated attack killed 60 Afghans and 13 U.S. Service Members.

Firefly by The Critical Drinker

@Tekisasubakani
The silver lining in it being cancelled after one season... it'll never be ruined, it'll always be the work of art that it is.

@krisdoe3739
"What does that make us?"
"Big damn heroes, sir."
"Ain't we just."

@lownow7640
Never would've thought the Drinker could get me all misty-eyed, but he did this time. RIP Firefly.


Though it aired for only a single season in 2002, Firefly developed a passionate fan following that has kept its legacy alive for over two decades. This unique science fiction western resonated with viewers through its perfect blend of genres, memorable characters, and sharp writing that balanced humor with heartfelt storytelling.

At its core, Firefly stood out by merging the adventurous spirit of a space opera with the rugged aesthetic of a Wild West frontier tale. This creative fusion gave the show a distinct identity, setting it apart from conventional sci-fi offerings. The universe felt lived-in and authentic, from the battered spaceship Serenity to the outer planets where civilization's grip was tenuous at best.

Much of the show's charm came from its exceptional crew of characters and their dynamic. Captain Mal Reynolds led his ragtag team with a mix of cynical wit and unshakable loyalty, embodying the show's anti-authority spirit. The crew's banter, written with Joss Whedon's signature sharp dialogue, created a sense of genuine camaraderie that made viewers feel like part of the found family. Each character, from the fiercely competent Zoe to the mysterious River Tam, was layered with complexities that unfolded naturally over time.

Firefly also mastered the delicate balance between tones. One moment could deliver laugh-out-loud humor through the crew's interactions, while the next could pivot to high-stakes action or poignant drama. This emotional range, combined with the show's willingness to explore moral gray areas, gave it remarkable depth despite its short run.

The show's cancellation after just 14 episodes only strengthened fan devotion. The injustice of its premature ending galvanized the "Browncoat" fandom into keeping Firefly alive through conventions, fan campaigns, and eventual continuation through comics and the Serenity movie. Even years later, the series remains beloved for its perfect storm of witty writing, compelling characters, and that undefinable "shiny" quality that makes it endlessly rewatchable. Firefly proved that a show's impact isn't measured in seasons, but in the loyalty it inspires—and by that metric, it soared.

average factorio playthrough:

@aaronliu1394
Yo dawg, we heard you liked carriers, so we put your carriers on a carrier, and now we have a super-carrier carrying carriers!

@Avardent-h4z
Paul you completely nailed the techniques for making everything look so ludicrously MASSIVE. So many times in movies we see things that are supposed to be big but don't look like it. I loved every shot, every color choice and greeble on each machine. The monologues were great too

@Wodan0290
I would rather pay 20 bucks to see a full feature movie like this than the shit we see nowadays. No bullshit, just hardcore scifi.

Max Chernov with Brit in Bangkok

@dichavimolchalao2290
I'm Thai and this guy can make a summary of deep thai culture 10 times better than me. Respect that a lot🎉🎉🎉

@aon9oaks
The concept of "sufficiency" as taught by King Rama IX of Thailand refers to "Sufficiency Economy", a philosophy emphasizing moderation, prudence, and resilience in life and economic activities. It encourages individuals, communities, and the nation to live within their means, use resources wisely, and prepare for future uncertainties.

@reinhardankenbauer3241
Simon is such an intelligent and thoughtful man, love the way he speaks and explains complicated matters! Also your questions, Max, are thought through and well balanced! Thank you both! ❤️


Meet Simon, a Brit who first came to Thailand in 1991. He married a Thai wife and has lived here for over 25 years, with an 8-year break in Singapore. Simon shared what foreigners often misunderstand about Thailand, how to build friendships with Thai people as a foreigner, and the biggest differences between Thailand and Singapore. Enjoy!

Jeffrey Sachs at the EU Parliament

@fabiolippi13
One of the best and most truthful statements I've ever heard coming from an EU meeting. Great stuff. Kudos to Jeffrey Sachs!

@seanbohane7534
This is a man that should be on every news network around the world

@LeroyYue
"In America, if you don't like the other side, you don't negotiate with them, you try to overthrow them."


Jeffrey Sachs' discusses NATO's eastward expansion since 1999, Russia’s opposition to it, and broader U.S. foreign policy strategies, including regime change operations. His speech criticizes U.S. interventionist policies, describing how they are driven by geopolitical dominance rather than diplomacy. Sachs argues that Ukraine's conflict with Russia was avoidable if Ukraine had remained neutral, and criticizes European nations for aligning too closely with U.S. interests instead of engaging directly with Russia. The influence of Israel on U.S. Middle East policy is also discussed, in that U.S. foreign decisions are significantly shaped by Israeli interests. Lastly, he calls for diplomacy and mutual respect in international relations rather than provocative or aggressive policies.

Singapore remembers Lee Kuan Yew

@JanineNgthegeek
"Do you believe in free press?"
"I believe in truth"
😭😭😭That was Powerful!!!!!!

@heavymetalrox268
This guy was decades ahead of the rest of the world, a once in a century, maybe millenia, type of leader. It's not even a freakin debate anymore. We are literally living his prediction of the decline of the western world right now. Singapore is incredibly lucky this man saved the Island.

@sksim6154
LKY was a Cambridge educated lawyer who graduated with first class honours. Very few, if any, Western journalists had the intellectual heft and superb command of English that LKY had.

@CKO88
Growing up I did not understand the issues between Mr. Lee and western Media, and many of his policies and decisions much. Now I do, and do appreciate majority of them. Most importantly I learned that Western media really lies, and lies without shame! And it’s getting out of hand!


Lee Kuan Yew (born Harry Lee Kuan Yew; 16 September 1923 – 23 March 2015), often referred to by his initials LKY, was a Singaporean statesman, politician, and lawyer who served as the Minister Mentor between 2004 to 2011, Senior Minister between 1990 to 2004 and first prime minister of Singapore from 1959 to 1990.

Anonymous attacked Sony in 2011

@Doggo_is_sus
Imagine looking at a guy, alone, who can easily break your OS but instead of hiring him to make your OS better, you sue him and fail miserably.

@bobbobbob321
Sony's reach with that lawsuit was genuinely terrifying, being able to sue anyone who even just watched his video. How could anybody in their right mind uphold that kind of behavior? The mere fact that it was suggested and allowed in court is disgusting.

@StormFive
This is a masterclass in journalism. Thank you for putting this together.


George Francis Hotz (born October 2, 1989), alias "geohot", is an American security hacker, entrepreneur, and software engineer. He is known for developing iOS jailbreaks, reverse engineering the PlayStation 3, and for the subsequent lawsuit brought against him by Sony. In April 2011, The Sony legal extended their lawfare against his social media and paypal accounts, tracking down supporters who had donated money and blocking their accounts.

This action attracted the attention of hacker group "anonymous", who then proceeded to shut down the Sony and PlayStation websites. They announced that this was only a warning. That purchasers of Sony PS3 hardware had every right to modify the machine, and to write new software for the purposes of customizing their machine. When Sony legal did not comply, a faction "doxxed" the Sony executive team and boardmembers, revealing their home addresses.

Hotz attempted to de-escalate the situation, signing an agreement with Sony to never again hack the PS3 or any other Sony product. But Anonymous did not stand down, they shutdown the internal Sony corporate server network, including the PlayStation network. The data breach released 77 million PlayStation customer accounts. Comment files were left with their signature tagline "WE ARE LEGION"

Did DeepSeek R1 just pop the AI bubble?

@Voltlighter
I can't believe ChatGPT had it's job replaced by AI

@nimya962
The fact that Altman spent the last 4 years trying justify OAI farming copyrighted content for training without a single cent paid back to the author, only to be left salty because his own IP was farmed and then open sourced is truly a masterpiece of irony

Brit in Guangzhou

When my friends in the US talk about China, they are mostly just parroting whatever they hear on the fakenews. At this point, most of us who have traveled and lived in China can agree that it is quite impressive. For 2000 years, China has been an administrative managerial state with layers of accountability. This structure selects for leaders who can successfully complete projects, and weeds out the bureaucrats who don't. Is there corruption? Sure there is, but when comparing results, apples to oranges, versus the performance of modern western countries... Well, there are many visible metrics where China is clearly superior. Perhaps not with toilets. One can hope for future developments on that score.

If it were up to me, I would make every US student attend a 3-month university workshop in China as part of their undergraduate degree program. The US and China are more than just the two largest global trade partners, they are bound by the arc of tradition and history. Now, in this moment in 2025, we have the opportunity to learn from each other. It is my most sincere hope that both countries are able to help improve the quality of life for people moving forward. Say what you want, but of the two, only the US is guilty of going around the world bombing and murdering people on a military industrial scale. In 2000 years, China has only invaded parts of Tibet, India, and Vietnam. One could easily say the US has been far more ambitious in that regard, despite our founding fathers strong warnings against foreign wars and the "greatest ally" aristocrat banksters that incite them.
