There was a little thing on Sunday called the Super Bowl… have you heard of it?
I felt like I owed it to the show, to the newsletter, and to all of you, to at least try and understand what was going on, so here’s photo evidence of me watching the Super Bowl on TV.
And I can honestly say I had every intention of trying to watch at least a quarter or two.

And if all of this isn’t enough, Trump had to go and, well, trump himself, by uploading an AI video that transposed Michelle and Barack Obama’s faces on to monkeys.
Yep, everything you just read is correct.
Only 999 days until the next election.

These data centers pump extraordinary amounts of bad stuff into the air, and often they are built next to poorer, industrial, predominantly black communities.
Here’s what Abre’ had to say about that…
