People Who Can From Nothing

Muppets are predisposed to be bad musicians (not enough fingers) and waterpark line-skipper Boosie tried to buy a Trump pardon from Jacob Wohl. Correction: We offhandedly said Booise wore matching outfits with Diddy but that was Meek Mill. Fortune Kit regrets this error.

The Most Vile of the Devil's Snares

AI chatbots are gifted kids, Taylor Swift is a quasi-cheerleader, and Morrissey has relentlessly faced the slings and arrows of the most vile of the devil's snares.

Ataraxia Book Club Part 3: Dawn Protocol (ft. Raina Douris)

Soulja Girl Baked Potato

Alex doesn't want Soulja Boy to get his penis burned by a hot baked potato. Pokemon cards should be currency in prison. Denzel Curry thinks aliens fuck with his music but realistically, there's a good chance that the first song aliens hear from humans will be A.I. generated.

The Clash Royale Halftime Show

Lil Wayne counterprogrammed the Super Bowl Halftime Show with a performance in Clash Royale with better production values than Turning Point USA. It would have been nice to see Mike Love do "Kokomo" at TP USA but it's sadly too globalist and woke.
