On this week's Curmudgeon's Corner Sam and Ivan review the first 100 days of the second Trump presidency. And that is enough of that for politics. So they also discuss social media for the first time in awhile, especially the rise of BlueSky over the last few months. Plus some on excessive employer expectations, and a movie review. Enjoy!

This week on Curmudgeon's Corner, Sam needed to do the show a few days early because he is having some light outpatient surgery and didn't want to record the show with bandages on, and Ivan obliged. After chatting about that you get some of the usual Trump stuff, the Pope died, some movie discussions, and maybe there are aliens? All the sort of stuff you expect. So there it is. Enjoy!

On this week's Curmudgeon's Corner Sam and Ivan hit the obvious Trump related economic and legal stuff. Plus movies, actors, and funerals. And a quick run through of other smaller things too. Yes, the Trump stuff dominates. How can it not? But they squeeze in some other stuff too. And you should too. There ya go.

This week on Curmudgeon's Corner, Sam goes mostly solo, but Ivan does send in his thoughts on the latest tariff developments. Because of course he couldn't miss that part. Aside from the economy entering a self-inflicted death spiral, other topics include SCOTUS on Kilmar Garcia, Psych the Movie, and the perils of blindly following GPS instructions.

So, on this week's Curmudgeon's Corner, Sam and Ivan only briefly manage to talk about other things before being consumed by Trump's tariffs. From the initial announcement to the impact on the markets to the more general economic impacts to what might happen next and the political impact. All the fun stuff.
