About 3.5 BILLION spam messages are sent every day, with many of those phishing and other cyberattack-related messages.

And a new segment type in Nonsense this week, News Potpourri! Including Apple’s recent environmental video backlash, the AI summit on Capitol Hill, Elon’s Biography, and Google’s Antitrust Concerns.
