Both insist they’re still “friends,” though their relationship now resembles a bad breakup. Spoiler alert: It's ugly and messy.

Acidly: In a world where bureaucracy reigns supreme, President Trump issued another proclamation, granting himself all the authority necessary to keep America safe from the hordes of "foreign threats." Twelve nations are now officially on the naughty list, including star players like Afghanistan and Iran. Because apparently, our vetting process is so reliable that we need a strict lockdown on immigration to avoid any "surprises." Bravo, democracy! Who needs cooperation from other countries anyway when we can just build walls and throw out visas?

Will either team figure out basic offense? Stay tuned!

Acidly: Ispace's lunar ambitions took another plunge—literally. After losing contact during its grand "Resilience" landing attempt on the Moon, officials confirmed that the spacecraft's ambition went belly side up, likely crashing at supersonic speeds. Classic tale: they messed up their navigation software (again) after switching landing sites. Meanwhile, other companies are getting the whole lunar landing idea right. But hey, keep hope alive, Ispace! Third time’s the charm, right? Just avoid the moon’s high-speed rendezvous next time.
