The World’s Most Terrible Isekai: you wake up in the body of Donald Trump, and nobody will tell you the truth about anything bc they’re afraid of you, so you have no idea if your new body is about to keel over. And you have to deal with all the shitheads he’s surrounded himself with. And..>

In the better timeline, we've had another muppets remake of a classic movie every five years or so, and they're all classics. People fight over which is best: Muppet Count of Monte Cristo, with Kermit as Edmond Dantes and Eddie Redmayne as Albert, or Muppet Moby Dick, with Ian McShane as Ahab.

Decided to debug on a Monday, now I've aged five years, walked on the moon, and solved world peace. Still can't find the source of that blasted error.

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland. They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”
