    Druzzle Time: 4/20/24 Blacksburgopoly | SnideStream

    For 4/20, the Snide crew goes old-school with a game of Blacksburgopoly—buying up familiar Blacksburg landmarks, fumbling through the rules, making questionable investments and discovering that even the Duck Pond has rent. Taco makes his inevitable appearance, the contingency cards cause chaos, and a timed game of Monopoly somehow produces an unexpected lesson in the power of being cheap.

    The Great Facebook Outage of 2024 (with AC) | The Snide Show

    On March 5, 2024, Facebook and Instagram suddenly went dark, and CoryTheCurator did the only reasonable thing: went live. AC joins the developing report as they sift through outage reports, cyberattack speculation, X memes, Google News nonsense and Meta’s eventual return—before wandering into Momo, minimum wage, New York rent and the usual Snide detours.

    Virginia Heck: Say Hello to VT's New Kentland Drone Farm

    Virginia Tech is becoming a Pentagon counter-drone laboratory. Cor digs into Tech’s new military fellowship, AI and autonomous-systems research, the Kentland Farm counter-UAS center, America’s absurdly expensive drone-defense problem, and a proposal that could bring the Radford Arsenal into the regional testing ecosystem. 00:00 — Welcome to The Snide Show 01:55 — Virginia Tech’s New Pentagon Fellowship 06:36 — AI Testing and Defeating Autonomous Systems 09:10 — When Universities Become Defense Incubators 12:21 — Virginia Tech’s Counter-UAS Center at Kentland Farm 13:59 — America’s Drone “Cost-Exchange Problem” 15:47 — $2 Million Missiles vs. Cheap Iranian Drones 17:01 — Ukraine Offered America a Cheaper Answer 19:54 — Could the Radford Arsenal Join the Drone Lab? 22:31 — Cheap Drones Are Rewriting Modern Warfare 25:34 — The New River Valley as a Counter-Drone Laboratory 27:22 — Cost-Effective National Defense 28:04 — Stay Snide

    Topical Punch: The Axon of The Flock, Trump Made A Lake!, and China Hack US, bro? | the Snide Show

    Topical Punch: August 27, 2026 edition of The Snide Show. First, Christiansburg, Virginia has unanimously pulled the plug on its Flock Safety license-plate-reader program — but nearly $2 million in Axon body cameras, vehicle cameras, tracking, transcription, evidence management and other police technology is moving in. Perhaps even more potentially dangerous than Flock. Cor follows that nerve thread into the New River Valley's growing data-center fight: surveillance, AI, infrastructure, water, development and the larger question of who gets to build the machines that watch, classify and reshape one community of many. Then Donald Trump officially renamed Lake Ontario “Lake America,” at least as far as the United States federal government is concerned, while Canada continues having that minor inconvenience of being a separate country. Enter President America, collector mentality, Trumperica and the Cor's proposed American River. Finally, headlines about Chinese state-sponsored hackers crawling through American government networks get pulled apart: what was actually hacked, what was merely targeted, what infrastructure the FBI says it disrupted, the difference between espionage and preparation for war, and why the United States, China and Europe remain far too economically entangled for another simplistic Cold War mythology. Local mass surveillance. Lake America. Chinese cyberespionage. A neocon war fever straight out of Tom Clancy. We always go from local to global to loco. The Snide Show is independent satire, commentary and entertainment from Snide Studios. 00:00:37 — Welcome to The Snide Show 00:01:14 — Topical Punch: Local to Global 00:03:25 — Christiansburg Dumps Flock Safety 00:11:22 — Flock Leaves, Axon Moves In 00:14:49 — Data Centers, AI & Local Control 00:20:14 — The Larger Surveillance Ecosystem 00:21:57 — Trump Renames Lake Ontario “Lake America” 00:22:24 — Sponsor: Savvy Sisterly Sales 00:23:07 — Lake America 00:27:44 — President America & “Trumperica” 00:29:11 — Did China Hack the U.S. Government? 00:35:25 — Espionage Versus War Fever 00:37:03 — America, China & Economic Interdependence 00:38:49 — “Maybe They’re Trying to Save Us” 00:39:09 — “Who Gives a F**k?

    The Father, the Son, and Big Brother #BB28

    The Father, the Son, and Big Brother makes its backdoor-pilot debut from within The Snide Show, testing a new recurring segment—or possible lo-fi spin-off—in which Cory Snider calls his father, Edward Snider, to discuss this season of the social experiment their family has watched since 2000. #BB28 Cory, the son, and Edward, his father, consider how Big Brother evolved alongside reality television, influencer culture and the surveillance society before meeting the cast of Big Brother 28: Time Trip. Ashley is the small-town girl seemingly brain-rotted by Valley Girl culture—but is she as clever as she thinks? LaTrice kicks ass and immediately looks like someone nobody wants to cross. Cory finds Lyric’s self-description as an “Eviction Princess”—a privileged princess who works as an eviction lawyer—gross, along with what he characterizes as her third-generation-white, “fake Hawaiian” identity. Melody becomes “Nose Ring, Part Two,” an apparent doppelgänger—and possible secret twin—of Katherine from last season. Haley is the ruthless softball horse girl; Taylor the mischievous counselor; and Mallory the cool NASA nerd with frightening, hyperactive rocket-scientist energy. Then come Kamu, the fighter with an artistic and spiritual side; Drew, the Dental Bro who dries his hair upside down like a bat and says “since I’ve been” instead of “since I was”; Jason, whose drag pedigree conceals an increasingly devious player; and Rome, the ’80s-styled Pickleball Gentleman and resident Casanova. Barrett is the tall, charming, clownish Jumbotron dork; Chuk the metro Nigerian-American cowboy, raised in a house full of girls and determined to “explore the twang”; and Yash the Finance Bro Dork—though Cory admits he would still happily have a drink with nearly everyone in this unusually likable cast. The discussion enters the Time Trip itself: its extravagant sets, costumes, dining-table time machine, returning Reality Icons and Southwest Virginia’s connection to Survivor veteran Rick Devens. Dee takes power, Devens starts talking, Barrett starts throwing, and Rachel Reilly finally discovers how many trips into the past are one trip too many. Week One became a game of loose lips and crashing ships. Mallory acts like a baby about the bloc but backs it up with the veto; Rome and Lyric accelerate into a nearly immediate showmance; Ashley campaigns herself from pawn to gone; and Jason’s Court Jester routine takes a cruel turn against Angela. Cory and Edward close with their earliest winner predictions—and the strategic consequences of breaking both trust and bathroom furniture.

    Snide Censorship II with AC and Shaun Corley

    ‍ ‍ ## Episode Description On this episode of The Snide Show, Cory is joined by AC and writer Shaun Corley ( for a wide-ranging conversation about internet censorship, online child safety, comic-book history, and Marvel’s multiverse machinery. The show opens with Shaun discussing his work at Screen Rant, including his list on Steve Ditko’s DC creations, the legacy of Ditko beyond Spider-Man and Doctor Strange, the Charlton Comics characters that later influenced Watchmen, and the strange afterlife of comic-book history. Then the crew dives into the Kids Online Safety Act, or KOSA, breaking down the stated goal of protecting minors online against the practical problems of age verification, data privacy, platform liability, censorship creep, parental controls, online adult-content restrictions, LGBTQ content concerns, government overreach, and the creation of a whole new market for verification tech. AC brings the parent-side perspective, discussing screen time, YouTube Kids, the Momo panic, smart TV limits, and why no law can replace actually talking to kids about what they see. The conversation also connects KOSA to older moral-panics and censorship systems, from the Comics Code Authority and V-chips to movie ratings, “protect the children” rhetoric, prohibition logic, and the recurring cycle of trying to solve cultural anxiety with blunt regulatory machinery. Finally, the episode shifts into Deadpool & Wolverine, MCU fatigue, Secret Invasion, Moon Knight, She-Hulk, Echo, Miss Marvel, multiverse storytelling, Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe, Thanos, Death, Secret Wars, and whether Deadpool might be the chaos agent Marvel needs to make the post-Endgame era feel alive again. Topics include: KOSA, Kids Online Safety Act, online censorship, age verification, data privacy, parental controls, LGBTQ content, Comics Code Authority, Steve Ditko, Charlton Comics, Watchmen, Screen Rant, Deadpool & Wolverine, Marvel multiverse, MCU fatigue, Secret Invasion, Moon Knight, She-Hulk, and the continuing war between protecting kids and accidentally building Big Brother with a tablet case.
