Nonsense with cj little and Jeff Parker

cj little and Jeff Parker

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.com

Mid-range PC parts are becoming an endangered species, and gamers are learning what the “AI tax” really feels like.  And from the Grift Garage, Trump Mobile’s gold-plated dream phone still hasn’t shipped a single unit, despite tens of millions in prepaid deposits.  Does anyone care?

    AI's Impact on Employment and Wealth

This week we cut through the doomsday noise to talk about what AI is actually doing to jobs and wealth: hollowing out junior roles, wiping out B-and-below performers, and rewarding AI-fluent “super users” and capital owners. We dig into why averages don’t matter as much as medians, why judgment and real creativity still look stubbornly human, and why the smart move is to become either a deep specialist or a wide “orchestrator” - but not stuck in the middle. We also cover open source as the new apprenticeship, failing fast as a competitive advantage, and the rise of the AI-powered solopreneur. Piketty was wrong about the past. He’s probably right about the future.

Walmart bets that drone delivery - powered by Alphabet’s Wing - can redefine last-mile convenience at national scale. NASA orders an early ISS evacuation after a medical scare, highlighting how risk is managed when failure isn’t an option. And the Federal Communications Commission clears SpaceX to double its next-gen Starlink fleet, accelerating the race for space-based mobile internet.

In northern Sweden, Kiruna is being moved three kilometers east as mining by LKAB causes the ground to collapse beneath it. The $2 billion project is meant to secure iron ore and rare earths critical to Europe’s green transition - but it comes at the cost of uprooted families and erased history.  Oopsie. In the Baltic Sea, Finland seizes a ship suspected of sabotaging undersea telecom cables, highlighting how infrastructure has become a new frontline amid rising fears of hybrid warfare. Above the planet, SpaceX begins lowering more than 4,000 Starlink satellites to reduce debris risk and improve performance—bringing order to an increasingly crowded orbit. And on the International Space Station, Roscosmos finally seals a long-leaking module, restoring full operations after years of a quiet and deadly danger. From cities to cables to satellites, this episode is about what happens when staying put is no longer an option.

    EoY Nonsensical Predictions for 2026

    As we close out our 3rd season, we are excited to share some obvious, and not-so-obvious, predictions for 2026 (and beyond!) with you all.  We felt it was only appropriate to prognosticate around our most typical themes: Business, Technology/Science/Innovation, and a smidge of Entertainment. We appreciate you joining us for another season of Nonsense.  We enjoyed producing every one of our 68 episodes this year, primarily because of listeners like you that come back week over week to join us.  Thank you and see you in 2026!

Texas’ lighter rules make it ground zero for autonomy, even though Tesla’s fleet ambitions have shrunk dramatically. Heading north next to Indiana, a DoorDash driver faces felony charges after allegedly spraying a customer’s meal with a mystery substance, prompting illness and a permanent platform ban.  Meanwhile in space, a nerve-wracking near-collision between a Starlink satellite and a Chinese spacecraft highlights the growing risks of orbital congestion and finger-pointing between operators. Fortunately, back on Earth, Google Translate is encouraging inter-cultural communication by  rolling out real-time audio translation through headphones, whispering 70+ languages directly into users’ ears.

    California’s Powerhouse: Innovation in the Fight for Water & Energy

    (0:00) Open (0:56) The University of California System (6:27) But California Has Problems, Yo! (10:47) Project Nexus: Solar FTW! (22:05) cj’s recommendation: There It Is, Take It! (25:26) Jeff’s Recommendation: Chinatown California has serious challenges, including a worsening water crisis and the threat it poses to the state that grows most of America’s fruits, vegetables, and nuts. The state’s growing electricity demands has created, among other things, a food-versus-energy conflict from the deployment of large solar farms that replace farmland. Fortunately one of California’s numerous superpowers is their public University system.  Innovations from the UC system have shaped the modern world, from the Internet and RISC chips to CRISPR, PET scans, blue LEDs, and reverse osmosis desalination.  And now the UC system has brought us a promising solution in Project Nexus, which installs solar panels over water canals to generate clean energy while saving billions of gallons of water. Inspired by similar efforts in India, California’s first solar-covered canal is now online, offering a potential path to statewide deployment.  Fortunately the UC system remains central to solving many of the state’s biggest challenges.

Meanwhile, 12 former FDA commissioners unite to condemn a rogue internal memo that rewrites vaccine policy based on feelings and vibes. The boys also dive into the first human trial of a fentanyl vaccine that could reshape overdose prevention. And finally, China detonates the global economic leaderboard with a historic $1 trillion trade surplus, redefining global manufacturing power while hollowing out domestic demand.
