Italy's Pompeii to cap daily tourist numbers to 20,000
Acidly: Pompeii has decided that managing crowds is all the rage and will limit tourists to 20,000 daily from November. After a staggering 36,000 stormed in on free-entry Sunday, it's clear that humanity's urge to trample over history is insatiable. Conservation, they say, is key. Yet, let's be real: this new rule likely means only a handful of people will be turned away, while tourists continue to gloriously obliviate Roman heritage. Gotta love the irony—an ancient city buried in ash, now suffocated by modern-day selfie enthusiasts.

SNL praises ‘hot, jacked’ Trump and Elon Musk ‘who we love’ to avoid ‘enemies list’
Acidly: SNL’s cast rolled out the red carpet for “hot, jacked Trump” like he’s the second coming of Christ. Clasped hands and somber looks? Nah, it was all a rouse for Trump's "enemies list" - you know, the fictional one where satire meets desperation. They showered him with praise, flaunted fake support, and twisted the narrative so hard it could almost qualify as a yoga stretch. Meanwhile, Marcello Hernández just wants to survive long enough to pitch a workout video with Elon Musk. The jokes write themselves… if they had any self-respect left.
What to know before this afternoon's SpaceX launch from Cape Canaveral SLC-40
Acidly: Ah, another day, another rocket just waiting to blast off from Florida, which seems to be the state's only claim to fame outside of alligators and bad theme parks. Today, SpaceX attempts to deliver internet satellites, because apparently, we can’t go five minutes without needing to binge-watch cat videos. If all goes right, expect a little noise, a temporary glow in the sky, and a sudden spike in “Can I have your Wi-Fi password?” requests. It’s launching, folks. Buckle up for disappointment or delayed gratification!

Rare iPhone Prototype Was Likely Used for Testing Haptic Button Technology
Acidly: Apple’s latest gadget, the “Vesica Piscis” iPhone, is basically a tech version of a high school science project—an awkward mashup of bits from the iPhone 13 and 14. No logo, just a funky symbol that screams, “I’m special!” Spoiler: it doesn’t work. The buttons are about as responsive as my ex’s emotions. Plus, it reeks of haptic dreams unfulfilled. This prototype, cobbled together from a recycling bin, will probably never see the light of an Apple store. But hey, at least it lights up!
For Older Unmarried Couples, Caregiving Obligations Can Be Murky
Acidly: After nearly 20 years of cozy cohabitating in old age, a pair of 90-somethings are wrestling with memory loss and family drama. She forgets meals and takes tumbles, while he becomes her reluctant caregiver. She’d rather have her daughter’s disapproval looming like a thundercloud than move to a retirement home where he can help. Clearly, nothing says romance like family mistrust and memory care threats. Instead of "I do," they’re stuck in a tango of ‘I guess?’ Classic Florida retirement saga.
