Wednesday night, an American Airlines jet collided with a Black Hawk military helicopter above Washington, D.C. All 67 people aboard both aircraft were tragically killed. Naturally, attention-starved Twitter ghouls wasted no time politicizing the disaster. A California Congresswoman immediately suggested Trump’s FAA hiring freeze was to blame. CNN’s Bakari Sellers posted (and subsequently deleted) a tweet to the same effect, while everyone from Matt Drudge to TIME seemed to imply Elon was responsible for “pressuring” the FAA director to quit on inauguration day. Meanwhile, Trump blamed Biden’s DEI-driven FAA, which he claims was “actively recruiting workers who suffer severe intellectual disabilities and psychiatric problems.” In this toxic culture, scapegoating was expected. But that doesn’t make it right. Accidents happen, and we still have no idea what went wrong here. But we do know a lot of good people are currently mourning their loved ones. Tact: google it. And may God rest their souls.

Smack in the middle of a heated political debate between the pro-nuclear Liberal Party of Australia and the anti-nuclear (Ludditic) Australian Greens, Wisconsin’s own Miss America 2023 — Grace Stanke, a nuclear engineer — landed in Australia to advocate on behalf of nuclear energy (which is currently banned in the country). Immediately, a seething mob of angry internet boy men and toxic Karens pounced: Stanke, they cried, was just a “device” of “female sexuality” who came to confuse the country with her sultry, sexy charm. An odd way for someone who calls themselves a “feminist environmentalist” to describe a literal nuclear engineer advocating on behalf of what is possibly our most important tool in the fight against climate change, but… unfortunately, it’s all too common these days. And tbh, I’m over it. Just because a woman looks great in a dress doesn’t mean she’s manipulative. Australia, do yourself a favor and listen to America’s nuclear bombshell. You just might learn something.

In the wake of Trump’s recent executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico after its namesake’s superior northern neighbor (I said what I said), Google Maps announced it would indeed rechristen the ocean basin as the “Gulf of America.” But don’t pop bottles on your boat just yet — right after the change was announced, Google reclassified the U.S. as a “sensitive country,” a label reserved for nations with “strict governments and border disputes” like China, Russia, and Iraq. In other words, they’re virtue signaling. Google wants to pretend they’re here for tech’s vibe shift, but behind closed doors they’re rebranding Trump’s America as an authoritarian dictatorship. Bold strategy for a company with an ongoing antitrust suit, a laundry list of foreign governments that want to rob them blind, and a President — their only real hope against those governments — who is famously (to borrow your phrase) sensitive to public ridicule. Good luck!

“If I run the FBI, we’re shutting down headquarters on day one and reopening it as the Museum of the Deep State.” Kash Patel’s words, not ours. But here’s the thing — your business has a Deep State, too. It’s called The HR Department. You know, the bureaucratic overlords who bury you in paperwork and pointless meetings? Warp shuts them down Kash-style by automating payroll, navigating state tax compliance, and making international contractor payments effortless — so founders can focus on building, not busywork.
