In today's episode of Stuff Keeps Happening, we look at the Prairieland 19, eight of whom recently received sentences totaling 450 years in prison, wildly exceeding any reasonable expectations, norms, or averages for far harsher crimes.

This gives them pretense to label protestors as terrorists and hit them with prison sentences so absurd that other people will be afraid to speak out.And so, we're gonna not stop speaking out.Also in this episode: a heist of gold bars from the government, betting market advertisement shenanigans, and an update on whatever we can call the ceasefire at this point.For sources and more information, check out the newsletter at https://skh.news/roundup-2026-06-25

In today's episode of Stuff Keeps Happening, we dive in to more artificial intelligence stories than I had honestly expected to include, but here we are.
