Following the lead of Ellen DeGeneres, famed Champion of Democracy (she donated $3,300 to Kamala, and hoped for the best), Reid Hoffman is reportedly mulling a move abroad following the election of Donald Trump. Childish? Short-sighted? Hysterical? Of course. But to his credit, this at least implies Reid actually believed all the crazy shit he said about the rise of fascism a few months ago, and we do love that honesty. Now, concurrently this weekend, news broke surrounding another tech approach to regime change: Mark Zuckerberg visited Mar-a-Lago (where Elon appears to be staying?), and kissed the President’s ring. While Trump is chaos, and we still don’t know exactly what to expect from this administration in terms of details, the smartest, wealthiest among us all seem to agree on at least one thing: for better or worse, the country really is about to change.

Elon Musk reportedly told advisors his America PAC should make one of its next goals challenging “Soros DAs” — aka far-left prosecutors throughout the country who believe locking up violent felons is more of a suggestion than the entire point of their freaking jobs. “The progressive district attorneys are a problem, and they are easy pickings,” said one individual familiar with the conversations. And it’s true, the races aren’t as high-profile, meaning the cost-benefit analysis of backing your preferred candidate is favorable. That’s why I’m encouraging Elon to take advantage of the Black Friday/Cyber Monday deal of the century: you already shelled out over $100M on the presidential election. What if I told you that you could spend a fraction of that and unseat the down-ballot prosecutors who turned our cities into third-world hellholes? Don’t miss out! Criminalizing crime will make for the perfect stocking stuffer this holiday season.

This Thanksgiving, thanks to Ozempic and other GLP-1 prescriptions reaching an all-time high, a record number of Americans said “no thanks” to pumpkin pie and candied yams. Leading up to the holiday, dozens of articles were published suggesting newly skinny users avoid decadent treats, opt for smaller portions, and “keep it simple and polite” when grandma pops off about her baby not eating her world famous mac and cheese. Sadly, this defeats the purpose of Thanksgiving, which is gorging yourself on overrated pilgrim food until it's time to watch the Giants lose while semi-catatonic on the couch. But there’s good news. Goldman Sachs predicts US GDP will increase 1% if 60 million Americans hop on the weight-loss injection train, and if Ozempic-face makes its way from the red carpet to Red Lobster, expect high-status, abundance-signaling obesity to make a raging comeback. RETVRN to the age of the fat king.
