Vivian Wilson—who is shockingly cool and not deranged—recently mentioned that her father, one Eloo Ma, aspires to be like the virtual reality CEO guy in the 2011 book/2018 movie, Ready Player One, which he liked (?) so much that he'd force his children to read it when they misbehaved. So we looked closer at this piece of terminal nostalgia detritus and discussed how it may be representative of the pathetic pariah. Before that, we present the amuse bouche of Trump and Netanyahu reuniting in the White House + we shout out some places to get the best analyses of the ongoing "Liberation Day" chaos.
