Increasing the number of smiles in the world
Economy
A house was demolished on accident while the owner was away. Also, Canada is looking into UBI, a judge was fired for pointing a gun at someone in court, Reddit may pull out of search results, and a slightly successful device launched in 2001.
Oof Science
The Doc Ock suit is real because we must construct our own demise. Also, Twitter's traffic is hella down, the US Speaker situation deepens, Biden wants $105 Billion for war, and a fancy building opened up.
Twitter is finally going paid-only. Also, we still don't have a Speaker of the House, the CIA had a bit of a whoopsie on their social profile, a devastating event is unfolding in Gaza, and a land purchase by the US is contested to this day.
World News
A Georgia man received a million dollar speeding ticket. Also, Australia said "no" to giving representation to indigenous people, the US House of Representatives is still a complete disaster, Israel is continuing their assault on the people of Gaza, and a French royal didn't quite make it.
Yay Science
Science people did some really cool space stuff and I'm just really happy for them. Also, the UAW strike is expanding, US Republicans are doing the political equivalent of the cha-cha slide, and our favorite unhinged emperor makes another appearance.
Worker's Rights
The UAW strike continues with some promising forward movement. Also, RFK Jr is running as an Independent, a TikTok ban in the US still looms large, the realest among us says goodbye to this life, and a quick reminder of what a difference a decade makes.
Data Breach
23andMe suffered a massive user data breach. Also, Gavin Newsom kills the vibe, Bandcamp's future is quite unknown, we've got more evidence that UBI is a good idea, and I've got another lead on some treasure lost at sea.
AI
An eclipse is on the way! Check it out, but wear eclipse glasses. Also, a new Meta AI is generating some interesting stickers, Kaiser Permanente workers are on strike, the Biden Administration is facilitating more border wall construction, and a little known app was founded in 2010.
Fluff
The raddest among us jumps out of an airplane. Also, a US congressman's car is stolen, the FCC issues a space pollution fine, Elon Musk caused an innocent family to flee their home, and a little satellite begins its orbit.

Let's get your name in LIGHTS
Politics
The US Government isn't shutting down... yet. Also, mRNA vaccine researchers win a Nobel Prize, OneWheels are about as dangerous as they look, Japan is using hellish robot wolves to scare off bears, and let's take a moment to check in on the year.
FINALLY
US Senator Diane Feinstein has died at the age of 90 while still serving in office. Also, Google is killing off even more products, a bear has a taste for quality food, the US government may shut down quite soon, and maybe you should avoid Lockheed-built aircraft.
