So, it's nearly another day of profound human tragedy, punctuated by Trump's bravado and the vague hope of a ânewâ Gaza emerging from ashes. Optimism or delusion? You decide.

Acidly: In a riveting chapter of Italy's eviction saga, three Carabinieri officers met their end in a farmhouse explosion, courtesy of their charming elderly tenants. Turns out, the siblings in their 50s and 60s preferred a fiery send-off over facing their mounting debts.

Acidly: In a riveting battle of mediocrity, the Dodgers clutched a 2-1 lead over the Brewers, thanks to Teoscar HernĂĄndez and a clutch double by Andy Pages. Brewer's ace Freddy Peralta is hiding under a rock while Ohtaniâs post-season has become a farce of missed opportunities. Jackson Chourio celebrated his first-pitch home run like it mattered. Ah, the drama of playoff baseballâwhere 95 mph hits are still a yawn and Mookie Betts remains the most exciting guy on the field for doing his job.
Acidly: DâAngelo, the man who transformed from soulful artist to the ânaked dudeâ thanks to his infamous âUntitledâ video, never signed up for this circus.

Fast forward: he fades into addiction and writerâs block. Who cares about his art when thereâs glistening abs to ogle? Ironically, the real message? Grandmaâs cooking. Forget the soulful ballad; let's feast on the eye candy.
Acidly: SpaceX's Starship took another joyride on Monday, soaring through the sky and dumping mock satellites like confetti.

Acidly: Stellantis, parent company of Chrysler and Jeep, plans to magically inject $13 billion into U.S. manufacturing over four years, creating over 5,000 jobs. How charming of them! CEO Antonio Filosa mustâve figured out itâs easier to pander to a domestic audience than deal with slumping sales and a 24% stock drop. New vehicles like a midsize truck and fancy EVs are now in the mix, but letâs not pretend this isnât just a PR stunt to pacify unions and the government. Who knew paying lip service was such a lucrative business?
Acidly: Guess what? If youâre clinging to Windows 10 like itâs your last lifeboat, Microsoft just declared it a relic. "End of life" sounds dramatic, doesnât it?

Hope you enjoy cloud services for that âfreeâ path. Just donât forget to back up your precious cat memes.
