The word goon has been ruined for my purposes so guess we're going with Crony this week.
There were so many stories this week entirely caused by Trump Cronies chewing on the infrastructure.
Just gonna say it now, I will have zero shorts out today! (Heck, I’ll probably re-write the description tomorrow)
Somehow this script was over 5k words, and I had to cover everything from midnight judge meetings, open defiance of court orders, Kash Patel gifting ghost guns to foreign officials, fandom drama, and a CEO turning an old meme into a nazis dog whistle over the course of 3 days!
We're covering a lot today, from weirdly inept, though no less dangerous, authoritarianism in the US, admittance of a war crime… I almost miss getting to reference press releases instead of DOJ X posts. Oh, also Itch payout concerns, and a featured story Of Banally nested evil around that Visa job posting.
Muttday Morning News Survived a whole month!
Sadly the reward is a really bad news week. Yup, I'm talking about the shooter, hiding our heads in the sand doesn't help. Also talking about the CDC, protests in Jakarta, Newsom being a weirdo, the CO state legislature trying to kneecap it's own ai regularity bill, sorry, it was a freaking week y'all.
But I do have some positive news in the back half.
For the record, this week’s outfit was specifically picked because like 3 commenters told me to button my shirt last episode.
If there’s one thing I refuse to do, it listen to straight men who don’t like boobs
Welcome to the second episode of Mutt-day news, a weekly round up of news stories from the past week, with a comedic bent, at least where possible.
This week, I come to you with dystopian AI news stories, including Meta's now lethal "Big sis Billie." Also this week, some cool new vaccine developments, an arts and culture section, yes covering more itch and payment processor stuff shenanigans, but not just that. The fascism roundup returns, and I have a new section, stuff you can do!
Welcome to the first episode of Mutt-day news, a weekly round up of news stories from the past week, with a comedic bent, at least where possible. This week reporting on the odd confluence of stories around Homestuck, the growing issue centralized platforms like Itch and Stream are presenting in their own right, and a quick fire round up of global fascist policies pushed in just the last 24 hours.
