In this week’s episode we go over the latest in entertainment and tech.  Theaters this week took another big hit when Disney announced that they would be streaming Hamilton on Disney+ starting on July 3rd instead of their planned theatrical run.  Disney also announced a new release date to the often rescheduled New Mutants movie.  Rockstar Games is hit by a DDOS attack bringing down GTA V and Red Dead Redemption.  Elon Musk moves forward with plans to get a factory set up in Texas and reopens his plants in a defiant act against stay at home orders.  Internet service providers removed restrictive data caps during COVID-19 which has proven that the caps have been a scam all along.  The senate amended the Patriot Act to allow federal agencies access to web browsing histories without a warrant.
