Hamas Makes Gaunt Israeli Hostages Thank Captors Before Release
Acidly: Hamas decided to play hostages and pyrotechnics. They released three skinny Israelis after 16 months, mere puppets in a twisted show of gratitude at gunpoint.

As for the Palestinians sent back, they were hailed as heroes—right out of a horror story. Good luck deciphering the next chapter in this charade; it’s all a twisted game of survival.
King and Queen to host Stanley Tucci ahead of Italy state visit
Acidly: King Charles and Queen Camilla are rolling out the red carpet for Stanley Tucci, perhaps hoping a touch of Hollywood magic will distract from their daily grind of ceremonial fluff. Over a fancy dinner at Highgrove, they'll toast to future Italian escapades. Meanwhile, Charles battles cancer but is spry enough for pasta and papal schmoozing. Celebrating two decades of wedded bliss? Sure, but let’s not forget the real star here: the food. Because nothing says "royalty" like regional Italian cuisine to mask a rather dull monarchy.

SpaceX launches 21 Starlink satellites from Florida (video)
Acidly: In another day of thrilling mediocrity, SpaceX hurled 21 Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit, because the world clearly needed more Wi-Fi.

With this being launch number 17 for this trusty rocket, we're left to wonder: does Elon Musk even care about anything other than his own ego? Buckle up, humanity; we’re going to outer space—just to binge-watch Netflix.
