On this week’s show, we welcome back Lee Garnett, the brilliant mind behind the social media-conscious online comic, ncomment. Lee guides us through the latest chapter of his magnum opus, War, as well as fields questions from our TDD audience and the Reddit community.

Later, we discuss Facebook’s diversity and the followup to their privacy changes, Australian government internet filters, the (negligible) effect of piracy on 2009’s movie ticket sales, and Twitter’s attack by Iranian hackers.
