We're sorry to the leaders of the world, who instead of being met by level-headed, measured, intelligent dialogue, are now greeted with the incoherent rantings of a perpetually-furious man-child.

A two-panel meme featuring characters from *The Simpsons*, with an added image in the top left corner. In the first panel, Bart Simpson looks distressed, saying, "THIS IS THE MOST EMBARRASSING DAY TO BE AN AMERICAN." In the second panel, Homer Simpson, kneeling beside Bart, responds, "THIS IS THE MOST EMBARRASSING DAY TO BE AN AMERICAN SO FAR." The added image in the top left shows convicted felon Donald Trump and weirdo JD Vance in conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in the Whitehouse. The meme humorously suggests that American political moments continue to reach new levels of embarrassment.

We think they should be powerful enough to afford principles. They think they have a lot to lose (and they lost their "don't be evil" motto a long time ago). Google, you coward, you quisling.

Just in case you weren't up to date on the last week's activities by Musk & Co. One of my personal most dispiriting quotes "...breaking the law is okay, as long as Trump thinks itβs okay. And since Trump is effectively Muskβs puppet, Musk has carte blanche."
