Al is mad, really mad. Companies are greedy. Not only that, but they're mishandling data in ways that put us and entire countries at risk. While some are worried about land borders, digital borders are being invaded in plague-like proportions making a joke out of national security. But why isn't anyone paying for it? Where is the justice for our data? 

We also talk what we've been tech doing, news, and Game Putty returns with a bit of Smash and bash!

DISCUSSION

In 2018 it rained data, and not in a good way. Hacking, leaking and general complacency when it came to the protection of user data seemed to be the order of the day. The big question is, why aren't the right people being punished for letting these things happen? Should corporations be held accountable? What’s an appropriate punishment? 

Game Putty

We take two games we’ve been playing and mash them together to make what is often a horrific, ridiculous abomination. Enjoy!

Al: Battletoads
Jen: Smash Brothers
