The hiatus ends with a return to form for Jacob and Evan! And they bring great new topics:

• What did Mozart find funny, and why is the answer to that question poop jokes?
• How did the Swahili coast get its name, and what does that have to do with the rise of Islam?
• How does one man contribute so much to physics, get nominated so many times, and never win a Nobel prize?
• Why is everybody everywhere so angry all the time?

Geek Herring discusses a politically hot topic this week, giving an overview and our insights into Hearthstone streamer, Blitzchung's statement during the GrandMasters about the Hong Kong protests. Blizzard had made what seemed like a snap decision to delete the entire VOD of the stream, remove Blitzchung from the GrandMasters, revoke his prize money, and ban both him and the two casters from Blizzard eSports for a year.

We're joined by Thom from Three Extra Lives and Jonathan from all sorts of podcasts, two people we love and respect in the Blizzard content creation community. Together, we're taking an objective look at this whole situation - right from the start. 

• What's actually happening in Hong Kong?
• What did Blitzchung actually say?
• Blizzard Entertainment did what!?
• The community backlash that shook the video game world
• What Blizzard did to remedy the situation
• How this relates to cancel culture
• And lots more!

While we do go into what's going on in this situation in brief detail, this episode of Geek Herring mainly revolves around our thoughts, opinions, and how we can all move forward in this new era of partial censorship.

You can find links to all sorts of news stories and coverage of this event:

• The Hong Kong protests explained in 100 and 500 words
• Naming and shaming companies who kowtow to Chinese censorship requests
• Blitzchung removed from Hearthstone Grandmasters for 'liberate Hong Kong' comments
• Hearthstone Grandmasters Asia-Pacific Ruling
• American University Hearthstone team holds up "Free Hong Kong, boycott Blizzard" sign during Collegiate Hearthstone Championship. Blizzard quickly cuts their broadcast
• Jason Schreier of Kotaku comments on BlizzCon
• Overwatch's Mei is being turned into a Hong Kong protest symbol
• After Hearthstone player’s ban, Blizzard is in hot water with lawmakers
• Blizzard employee(s) remark on their company's actions by covering up mission statements on the orc statue in front of the studio.

• Tommy, Taiwanese Commentator Who Got Fired by Blizzard, Statement

• Hearthstone caster ThatsAdmirable steps down from Grandmasters Cast
• Blizzard/TeSPA has decided not to penalize American University for holding up their sign and has scheduled their next match, but AU has decided to forfeit the match and the season, saying it is hypocritical for Blizzard to punish Blitzchung but not them
• Hearthstone pro Amnesiac criticizes Blizzard's decision
• Blizzard's Official Statement: REGARDING LAST WEEKEND’S HEARTHSTONE GRANDMASTERS TOURNAMENT
• Contradictions: Blizzard: "We are not a platform for social or political views." Also Blizzard:
• Blitzchung statement in response to Blizzard
• Protests Are Coming To BlizzCon In The Wake Of Blizzard's Hong Kong Fiasco

Special Guests: Frazley and Thom Knight.

It's Techspert week at TIFO! Joining us is tech industry professional Jake Palanker. We're discussing ethical hackers and the potential for tech natives to change society's relationship with the Internet by hacking for good. Plus, we're talking about brave and ingenious teenage Hong Kong protesters and their laser pointer facial recognition disarmament tactics. Plus, where religion, philosophy and technology collide we must pose this confounding question: Are we a simulation? And, with two of our panelists shunning Facebook, we wonder what societal pushback they may be receiving. Also, what happens when you ask  Facebook how to delete Facebook?

M.A.W., The Thrill and The podcast Supreme Court Justice Joe talk International protest news.
