Why is the White House not some kind of National Trust entity, protected for future generations? Maddening, and I'm not even American!

No ATProtocol library being used, just testing some ChatGPT code that generated a Ktor client that did the post above.
Also playing with Koog, trying to see if there is some use-case I can solve by mixing a few things together.

I've had to update my Etsy store to notify customers that due to the incompetent policies of the current US president, no more parcels for you! Maybe Americans with friends in Canada or Mexico can ask them to make purchases on their behalf.

@jetbrains.com and @kotlinlang.org can we get some support in making Kotlin a 1st party language for Godot. There is already an open source project starting this work, can we get a boost please?
