About this listen

 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). Produced by an orangutan; art thanks to artificial intelligence. https://nonsense.productions Twitter: @nnsnspdcst Instagram: @nnsnspdcst Gmail: nnsnspdcst@gmail.comcj little and Jeff Parker Politics & Government

It’s effectively like SxSW in July! You’ve probably seen the viral videos; your eyes aren’t lying, an ongoing NHTSA probe underscores the growing concerns. 🤖🚕💥ByteDance is creating a new, dedicated TikTok app for the US market to comply with a US law demanding the platform's divestment to prevent a ban. This separate app, internally called "M2", is launching around September 2025; we presume it will smell more American. 🇺🇸 Eventually all US TikTok users will need to switch to this new version, or risk the alternative, reading a book instead. 📖In happier news, our good friend technology advances medical science, yet again! 🧑‍🔬🧪📈 Moderna's mRNA-1010 flu vaccine achieved 27% superior efficacy over standard shots in a Phase 3 trial. The vaccine, showing strong results across flu strains and a mild side effect profile, paves the way for regulatory approval and potential COVID-19 combination vaccines, marking a significant advance in influenza prevention. Time will tell if the vaccine is durable enough to survive the uninformed opinions of those with dead parasitic brain worms. 🤷Tesla Robotaxi Hits Parked Car in First Recorded Accident | PCMagTesla's robotaxi peppered with driving mistakes in Texas tests | Reuters‘Improved’ Grok criticizes Democrats and Hollywood’s ‘Jewish executives’ | TechCrunchTesla Q2 2025 sales dropped more than 13% year over year - Ars TechnicaMass Burn: SpaceX Deorbits Nearly 500 Starlink Satellites in 6 Months | PCMagElon Musk Accuses Trump of Epstein Coverup With Clown MemexAI data center gets air permit to run 15 turbines, but imaging shows 24 on site - Ars TechnicaTrump’s shaky plan to save TikTok may push users to buggy version of app - Ars TechnicaTikTok’s ‘ban’ problem could end soon with a new app and a sale | The VergeHere are the letters that convinced Google and Apple to keep TikTok onlineModerna says mRNA flu vaccine sailed through trial, beating standard shot - Ars TechnicaRFK Jr.’s health department calls Nature “junk science,” cancels subscriptions - Ars TechnicaGodfather’s Used Computer Syndicate - The Best Color 13" RGB MonitorSend us a ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠voice message⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!

(28:23) cj’s recommendation: The Right Stuff & Airplane!(30:02) Jeff’s Recommendation: 1990’s AvalonLast week, the United States deployed two groups of B-2 stealth bombers to Iran, with one group acting as a decoy. The B-2 is an unparalleled feat of engineering, and in this episode of Nonsense, we'll attempt to scratch the surface of its development and the mind-bending capabilities it delivers.Why was the B-2 chosen for this mission? Couldn't drones have delivered those bunker-busting payloads? Born from the lineage of the B-52, B-58, B-1A, and B-1B, the B-2's story is remarkable and largely unfamiliar.
