Less than a year after the Department of Justice blocked a merger between Spirit Airlines and JetBlue on grounds the merger would somehow lead to fewer cheap flights, Spirit has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy — and the bureaucrats responsible have oddly gone quiet. Here, one is naturally inclined to revisit the DOJ’s braindead reasoning for dooming an American airline. But the reasoning was always bullshit, which the bureaucrats never actually believed. Our government is simply run by people who genuinely think businessmen are evil, and therefore oppose business interest from a place of instinct. Debate with such people is useless. There is only one solution (and please tag our patron saint of DOGE): fire every single government employee who even so much as looked at this deal, and let the “greedy businessmen” run their companies again. Because that seems to be the only thing that doesn’t grind our country to a halt.

A photo of RFK eating a Big Mac with the President went massively viral over the weekend, and while it was indeed a bit embarrassing for the health-obsessed leader of MAHA, it mostly highlights a major shift in how the public evaluates information. Namely, here we are engaging seriously in the seed oil discourse, once relegated to the darkest corners of holistic health Twitter. Did you even know McDonald’s once cooked fries in beef tallow before last month? Well, now we’re judging a former presidential contender on his apparent submission to Big Canola. Predictably, the NYT is now defending seed oils. Also predictably, they’re sourcing their defense with research funded by seed oil conglomerates. But this was immediately uncovered, and amplified online. Is rapeseed oil really toxic? No idea. But here’s what I know for sure: I’ll be reading the next installation of this drama on X.

Elon joined Trump for a ringwalk at UFC 309 this week, casting recent reports surrounding X’s in-the-works “one-stop shop” for the NFL in a new, interesting light. It appears both men are embracing the brotherly spirit after the “dudes rule” vote won Trump the presidency. But this comes much to the consternation of Guardian fan fic writer Carole Cadwalladr, who claims an emerging “broligarchy” will soon “crack down” on journalists (?), and urges her readers to pay for things “in cash” before, presumably, the tech bros hunt them down and kill them. Unfortunately for Carole, bros being bros doesn’t trigger Americans into fits of panic, something she might know if she weren’t — *ahem* — a full ass British person once again telling us how to live. Sis: 1) Nobody over here is talking about your weird teeth or fascist speech laws, literally mind your own business. 2) Broligarchy before Hoeligarchy (we’re in a vibe shift, I said what I said).
