Nonsense with cj little & 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 Thursday morning (UTC). Produced by an orangutan; art thanks to artificial intelligence. https://nonsense.productions Twitter: @nnsnspdcst Instagram: @nnsnspdcst Gmail: nnsnspdcst@gmail.com

    LA & cj: Old and on Fire

    (0:00) Pre-Show (00:40) Open (1:25) National Word Nerd Day (2:41) cj's week: Family Time & The A-Flu (3:33) Jeff's Week: Triple Booked (4:00) Headline: Los Angeles is Burning (25:25) Surprising Things About Aging (50:30) cj’s recommendation: Go Lions! (53:48) Jeff’s Recommendation: Shrinking Season 2 And just like that, we are back to launch the first episode of Season 3 with a very unexpected topic: The 2025 Fires of Los Angeles.  Here we are, barely a week into the new year, and we already have two of the largest, most destructive fires in Los Angeles history. In this episode, and in honor of cj’s birthday, the guys still cover their intended topic - surprising things you may not know about aging.  But before getting into that, they felt it would only be appropriate to discuss some specifics of the fires that have ravaged the Los Angeles area in the past few days, covering some aspects that you likely aren’t hearing from other outlets. It’s not everything we planned to discuss in our first episode of the new season, but we are delighted to be back with you for the start of another year. I am starting 2025 with a moderate case of "SELECT-ALL". This is nuts.  Bulldozing cars. Southern California is on FIRE!

As a result of said talking, we don’t get to cover nearly as many headlines as we would like to every episode.  So this time we are covering only news to try and catch you up on what we’ve all been missing of late.

Just kidding!  The average Nonsense listener remembers their fingers getting pinched by rotary phones vividly, so the internet might as well be considered brand-spankin’ new! This episode the guys talk a bit about the evolution of the Internet - how it started, how they _thought_ it started, and how it’s going.  You’re going to love it, we promise.  You might even laugh.  You’ll probably snicker.  You shouldn't cry.

So this episode, after a brief bit of mourning, we wax on about Google’s Naptime, TSMC fixing the leak, GM ditching the one thing that’s working for them, and two more surprising wins for Ozempic et al.

But in this episode, the guys look at an even earlier technology that we rarely, if ever, give thought to - artificial light.  Relatively speaking we have spent a very brief portion of our existence as a species utilizing light from non-solar sources.  When we realized the sheer volume of technological development completed under the glow of artificial light, we knew we had to talk about it. But before we explore sesame oil lamps and delicious tallow candles, what would Nonsense be without some banned Chinese technology drama, and more Google fines (this time with extra zeros!)
