Key Segments
1. USPS Historic Fuel Surcharge
- New Fees: Starting April 26, 2026, the USPS will implement its first-ever 8% fuel surcharge on packages like Priority Mail and Ground Advantage.
- The “Why”: The move aims to offset surging fuel costs tied to the war in Iran and stabilize long-term finances.
- Exemptions: Standard letter mail and first-class stamps are protected from this specific hike.
- Host’s Take: Donovan notes the irony of rising physical mail costs while he personally digitizes everything to his Network Attached Storage (NAS) to avoid “cutting down a forest” for paper notifications.
2. SCOTUS Rules for ISPs (Cox vs. Sony)
- The Ruling: In a 9-0 unanimous decision, the Supreme Court ruled that ISPs cannot be held liable for copyright infringement by their users simply for providing internet access.
- Legal Shield: Justice Clarence Thomas wrote that an ISP is only liable if it actively encourages piracy or designs its service specifically for illegal use.
- Industry Impact: This prevents “mass evictions” where ISPs might have felt forced to disconnect entire households or businesses based on a single accusation.
3. The Airport Staffing “Skeleton Crews”
- Staffing Crisis: Major hubs like Atlanta, LAX, and O’Hare are facing critical TSA shortages due to burnout and the DHS funding lapse.
- ICE Deployment: Donovan dismisses claims that ICE agents are shortening lines, stating they lack TSA training.
- Travel Warning: Travelers are advised to arrive 3 to 4 hours early for domestic flights, with some reports of people missing flights even after arriving 6 hours early.
4. 80s Throwback: What Schools Banned
- The List: Donovan reviews 1980s school bans on items like pagers, long hair on boys, skateboards, Rubik’s Cubes, and Walkmans.
- A Lesson Learned: He wraps up the show with a personal story of getting his “butt kicked” in elementary school after an altercation over a handheld Merlin game.
