AI stands as the most disruptive force in our world today.
It threatens the creative professions. It undermines our ability to discern what is real. It promises nothing but chaos for our political system, which is already dominated by bad faith actors.
But we’re not talking about that today.
Someone has found a great way to use AI to stick it to some of the most loathsome parasites in the world.

With Shitler and First Lady Elon Musk taking power, ushering the United States into an era of unprecedented fascism, Timothy Snyder’s 2017 book “On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century” is the guidebook for concerned citizens.

The climax of the tale finds Courtney delivering her high school valedictorian speech and looking forward to her future.
Hardly the time-trippy cosmic battle royale fans are used to.

“The Story of the Year!” the cover proclaims.
Hell, let’s make it the century and call it a day.
“Batman Becomes Bat-Baby!”
