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.

The folks at TDS realized that hysterical coverage of Mamdani from right-wing news outlets was going to be happening on the regular, so they wanted to be ready. And I'm sure the same team also made the supercut of ICE-agent bloopers on Wednesday night. Watching fascists eat it on Minnesota ice is so pleasurable, and that pleasure is compounded when it's edited well.

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.

No, don't! Cooper said as Cohen started off. Watching the final moments of Mayor Adams' chaotic, horrible [term], Cohen slurred. Andy, Andy! We gotta cut you off, Novak said. Cohen pressed forward, saying sardonically it was great that the Adams got [his] pardons. He said Adams will now have plenty of time to party with democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani replacing him as NYC mayor on Wednesday.

Screenshot via Comedy Central A prescient writer for the irreverent Comedy Central show South Park correctly predicted that President Donald Trump would slap his name on the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, so he bought up Trump-Kennedy Center web domains to troll the president. Writer Toby Morton bought the trumpkennedycenter.org and trumpkennedycenter.com domains back in August and is now plotting how best to parody Trump's vanity, according to The Washington Post.

What he's saying is if a drug was $100 and you bring the drug down to $13 right? If you're looking at it from $13 it's down seven times Lutnick attempted to explain in a rambling response.It's 700 percent higher [than] before, it's down 700 percent now, right? So $13 would have to go up 700 percent to get back to the old one, Lutnick continued. So it all depends on when you look at it. You could say it's down 87 percent or you could say it would have to go up 700 percent to be the same one. So it just depends on what you look at it, he repeated.

During his opening monologue on Jimmy Kimmel Live! the host branded the scheme the Get Into America Express Card, mocking its explicit transactional logic and its break from decades of immigration rhetoric. This is a card that will allow wealthy foreigners to live here, Kimmel said. For a million bucks, you get legal visitor status. You get a pathway to citizenship and a presidential pardon for one major crime of your choosing.

We happy few. We unlucky few. In years to come when we are all still recovering from post-traumatic stress disorder, we will be able to say we were there. That we have seen things that cannot be unseen. The eight thousand of us who, through a mixture of curiosity and comedy, chose to watch Liz Truss commit a drive by on herself.

Netflix Sean Combs. Photograph: Paras Griffin/Getty Images Summed up in a sentence An utterly damning docuseries about the musician which has so rattled his lawyers they are demanding that Netflix remove it. What our reviewer said It does such a thorough job of laying out and backing up so many horrific allegations that his way back to stardom is surely blocked for ever.

"the healthiest human currently alive or recorded in medical history."

Stephen Colbert has panned claims by President Donald Trump's physician that men in his age group benefit from MRI scans as scrutiny around the president's health intensifies, with the Late Show host prescribing his own medicine for the commander-in-chief: Retiring!
