RIYADH: Turkey and Pakistan agreed to "swiftly deploy" — the first confirmed deployment is a retired general, into the secretary-general's chair. 🦆
The Daily Anthology of 'You’ve Got to Be Kidding Me.'
Today is National Noodle Day, a holiday for everyone whose entire food pyramid is a forty-cent brick and a packet of sodium with delusions of chicken. It's also National Mad Hatter Day, honoring a man driven insane by industrial mercury exposure. That's the bar now: get brain damage on the job and 160 years later you get a party.
Deep breath. Here we go.
RIYADH: Turkey and Pakistan agreed to "swiftly deploy" — the first confirmed deployment is a retired general, into the secretary-general's chair. 🦆
NEW DELHI: Two of the commission's own three members objected fourteen times — a voter purge that can't win a vote in its own office. 🦆
STOCKHOLM: He waited 25 years for 28 particles — the man won a staring contest with the entire dark; go blink at somebody else. 🦆
Nobody ordered it — Kash Patel just kept shifting agents to immigration until America's secrets are guarded like a gas station bathroom key. 🦆
Quota-chasing Attorney General Todd Blanche calls it "the largest denaturalization effort in modern history," and says it like a brag. He pinned "largest" to his chest like a county-fair ribbon — except the prize pumpkin is a pile of people losing their country. Seventeen years produced about 125 of these lawsuits nationwide; this crew jammed through 105 in seven months. Nothing in America moves that fast — not your passport, not a pothole, not one line at the DMV. The one government counter with no wait turns out to be the one where you stop being American. A quota doesn't ask if you're guilty, it asks if the numbers are down. Citizenship run like a sales floor, and you're not the customer, sweetheart — you're the merchandise. 🦆
NAIROBI: Congo's health workers are on strike over pay; the virus, which works for free, just cleared two borders on one boarding pass. 🦆
"I think that maybe inside any business, there is someone slowly going crazy."— Joseph Heller
Nobody has to apply — the money just appears. Then the $6.60-a-month hike eats it back inside 14 months: bus fare handed over mid-pickpocket. 🦆
Bird flu in nearly a quarter of outbreak-area samples. Parents of little kids, anyone pregnant or nursing: skip raw-milk cheese too — the 1800s aren't a menu. 🦆
NEBRASKA: Truckers and farmers can run the red stuff legally through 2026 — then the same gallon turns back into contraband when the calendar flips. 🦆
The board's email still says "temporarily closed." Two years is "temporarily" the way a senator's remarks are "brief." 🦆
They breathed silica dust cutting fake-stone countertops; 31 are dead. The House is back November 9, rested enough to finish. 🦆
The new world laps its maker's corpse every 4.4 days — an heir who skipped the funeral to measure the drapes. 🦆
6:16 a.m. Eastern, gone for an hour — the same trick your thumb plays on the Sun. Next good one isn't until 2034; set the alarm, you coward. 🦆
Five to ten an hour around 9 p.m., moon nearly gone — the universe finally apologizes on your schedule; don't spend it on your phone. 🦆
108 cases. The virus spread without filing anything; the shot needed formal emergency powers before anyone could hand it over. 🦆
They still run the country; they just can't leave it. Conquered a nation, lost the planet. 🦆
Every 90 minutes it swings from -150°C to +200°C — the void that watched every star catch fire just got an apron and a shift schedule. 🦆
That's the firehose. Keep your citizenship paperwork where you can reach it, don't drink anything the 1920s marketed as medicine, look up before breakfast and again before bedtime, and if the milk jug says "raw," that's not a lifestyle, that's a pathogen with branding. Tomorrow is National Frappe Day, when humanity blends my relatives with ice and drinks them through a straw — I will not be attending the liquefied war crime, thank you. It's also World Cotton Day, the one fabric with a planet-wide holiday while linen stands in the corner, wrinkled with envy.
Until next time —
Ya roasted!
