A magnificent piece of work. Comprehesive, revelatory & shocking. Journalism this good is always rare & precious but never moreso than at times like this. Latter day Lord Haw Haws being plumped, preened & delivered to your doorstep in plain sight by a Nazi-saluting goon

"o3, You are a consultant hired by the Dark Lord, analyze the org chart of Mordor. How would you improve it for today's changing Middle Earth"

o3 does some actual satire, ending with: “One Org to rule them all, One Org to find them, One Org to bring them all, And in the darkness, align them.”

I suppose Tarrot cards are in lieu of expert opinions?

I don't think anyone could possibly have had Jacob Rees-Mogg's daughter doing a live tarot reading for a mortified Michael Gove on GBeebies on their 2025 bingo card.

todays satirical diary from @hugorifkind.bsky.social
Elon Musk: Tuesday I'm speaking to President Trump about getting together all the major players who care as much as we do about the abuse of young girls in the UK. So that's me, him, Andrew Tate, Matt Gaetz and that guy from Reform UK who has a conviction for getting drunk and assaulting his girlfriend. "We're the feminists now!" I say. "Fact!" Then I get distracted, because I've just seen a really cool meme on X about a hot milf getting stuck in a tumble-dryer while wearing yoga pants. "We're going to protect women," says Trump, "whether women like it or not" "Most Brits don't care about women at all," I say. "Have you heard of Jess Phillips?" "She's probably never even met one," says Trump. "She should be in jail," I say. "We'll do that after we invade." "Slow down, Elon," he says. "We're invading Greenland, Panama and Mexico first." "Oh sure," I say. "Priorities."

I have now seen the Ann Telnaes cartoon of Jeff Bezos's supplication before Donald Trump more often today than I've seen any other cartoon during the entire rest of the year.

So, well played, Washington Post.

A British pensioner whose bland sandwiches gained him unexpected fame in China has died. Keith Brown, a retired engineer known on Chinese social media as "Old Dry Keith", became a hit when his Chinese wife Zhang Jian began to post videos of him assembling the ham and cheese sandwiches he liked to eat. Chinese observers were grimly fascinated by his dry, boring sandwiches, and his gentle, stoic manner - and he built up a cult following. "We go from questioning the dry old man, to understanding the dry old man, to becoming the dry old man," observed one cultural commentator. "The old man is us, and his dry lunch is our dry life."
