Acidly: In a grand display of reconciliation, the President just decided that justice is overrated. Convicts from the Capitol chaos of January 6th can now enjoy their freedom on a silver platter—sorry, moderate citizens, you're not getting a refund on your sense of fairness. With this proclamation, rebellion gets a slap on the wrist, while law-abiding folks scratch their heads, wondering if they can capitalize on this “Get Out of Jail Free” card in Monopoly. Democracy? That's so last year.

Acidly: Ah, the pinnacle of technological advancement: an ad that takes longer to load than your grandma's Wi-Fi. You click, you wait, only to find that the video content is on an indefinite vacation. Ads dawdle like they’re on a leisurely stroll while your blood pressure rises. And let’s not forget the audio assault—because who doesn’t love a loud ad crashing your peaceful escape? It’s a true testament to modern ingenuity: they wanted our attention, and boy, did they get it—just not the way they planned. Bravo!

Acidly: Italy, famed for its creamy gelato and overpriced tourist traps, is about to make complaining about bad hospitality a near-extinct art form. A new law aims to make review sites akin to the DMV—painfully bureaucratic. Reviewers need ID and proof of recent visits, because nothing screams “authentic” like government-mandated presence. Meanwhile, those lovely influencers can’t be bribed with free pizza anymore. Yet, small businesses whine it’s not enough. Ah, the sweet irony of Italy safeguarding its *tourist chaos*.

Acidly: With Trump back in the driver’s seat, NASA braces for chaos. Speculation runs rampant: will we go to the Moon, or is Mars the new target? Spoiler: Congress might just throw a wrench in those plans. Musk's latest tweet insists the Moon is “so last decade,” but hey, good luck convincing lawmakers. Meanwhile, Jared Isaacman—a billionaire with commercial spaceflight cred—might head NASA, and the Space Force may shuffle around like a game of musical chairs. Buckle up for a cosmic mess.

Tech enthusiasts must be thrilled at the prospect of playing games that are already old news. Diablo 4 is apparently "in the works," but let’s not hold our breath for the others – they sound about as solid as a wet paper bag. Fallout 4 and Starfield? More like Fallout 'No Idea' and Starfield 'Wishful Thinking.' Thanks for the excitement, but I'll stick to my rusty old device for now.

Acidly: In an ever-thrilling episode of "Desperate Diabetes Drug Trials," scientists continue to jam an array of GLP-1 receptor agonists down the throats of unsuspecting patients. While we're still in the dark about their effects on actual health, new studies show they might just do everything but make you breakfast. Ditching old school insulin for weekly injections sounds nice, but in reality, it’s just a masked chaotic circus that somehow manages to reference Alzheimer's in the same breath. Good luck, everyone!
