You see, the Pope has a buff that makes him impervious. You-as the protagonist, President Donald Trump-cannot beat him unless you backtrack to the dungeon entrance and say a prayer with Pete Hegseth. This will unlock "2 Corinthians," a spell that renders the Pope vulnerable to special attacks like "Mar-a-Lazer" and "The Power Grab." When I beat the Pope and collected a barrel of Iranian oil as a prize, I told my editors my overdue draft of another story would be submitted later.

"It is fascinating to know that what you say will be taken seriously. We always worked really hard to make sure they were what we call a 'fair hit.' It only felt like it would work if it was based in something that was true."

They threw my headshot in the trash like it was the Epstein files!

Trump said yesterday that the war could end very soon, which would be encouraging, had he not also told us he'd end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours. He's going to make a huge mess and walk away like it's the new toilet in the Lincoln bathroom.

How quickly the right has gone from 'peace through strength' to 'peace through war.' And we're all just along for the ride in a war with no clear purpose, no end in sight, all at the whims of Donald Trump.

"Manchild" is a word that gets thrown around a lot these days...and I think that's correct. But few employed adult men perform weaponized incompetence quite as brazenly as the anti-abortion Slenderman himself, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.).

President Trump on Thursday announced he was erasing the scientific finding that climate change endangers human health and the environment, ending the federal government's legal authority to control the pollution that is dangerously heating the planet." - The New York Times A new ruling from the Trump administration says that when the sun disappears at night, we don't know where it goes. All remaining top scientists have been taken from their positions and tasked with getting to the bottom of this.

(Screenshot via @GovernorVA on X) Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger (D) is taking her own turn being roasted after she inexplicably shared a disastrous photograph of her operating a grill for what appeared to be the first time. On Thursday evening, Spanberger shared a photo of herself, tongs in hand, with a massacred pile of unrecognizable meat strewn across a grill in front of her. Order up! she captioned it.

From Yes Minister co-writer Jonathan Lynn comes I'm Sorry, Prime Minister - the final act between Jim Hacker and Sir Humphrey. Jim Hacker (Griff Rhys Jones) is back - older, no wiser, and still gloriously out of his depth. Dreaming of a peaceful retirement at Hacker College, Oxford, Jim instead collides with a very modern nightmare: being cancelled by the college committee.

The procession consists of 120 floats, including 'persiflage floats' satirical, mocking floats that are the centerpiece of the event. As usual, some of the world's major politicians will be symbolically roasted. Float builders use the occasion to make movable works of art that are humorous yet scathing critiques that are often social or political in nature. Parade director Marc Michelske presented some of the Cologne Festival Committee's float themes in the lead-up to this year's Carnival.

Rarely does a president yank a Nobel Prize off of someone's neck, Kimmel said. He's back in the Oval Office sucking on it like a pacifier right now. He didn't even win. While condemning Trump's acceptance of the prize, Kimmel argued the moment revealed a deeper political truth about how the president operates. Trump loves awards, he noted. Giving him an award, it's the only way to get him to do anything.
