Wait a damn minute, you mean to say that this song that I fell in love with last year is actually from 2021? Have I been liking it for five years instead of a year, or did the community radio station just start playing it a lot more recently? I have come unstuck in time. Anyway, it’s a banger; may as well embed it for its postmodernist post-apocalyptic vision of the end of the world. (A “doomed Corvette” and “a tornado with human eyes,” but “there will be no drag racing through the bombed out streets neither.”)

But our week at Wonkette began its last day not with torrents of chemical rain, but with Tabs, as always, including a briefly confusing gif of swan butts that we thought were Furbys or something.
Pete Hegseth is maybe considering running for president, and if that isn’t terrifying, we don’t know what is.
And then there’s Trump’s nominee to run the FDA, Heidi Overton, who carries her own Overton window around with her and is terrible.
The US national debt soared right through the entirely symbolic amount of $40 trillion. Republicans are certain to use it as an excuse to impose austerity and cut social services like they always do, but the real fact is this: It’s the tax cuts, stupid.
Donald Trump’s human printer, Natalie Harp, isn’t having an affair with Great Leader, but such details might be less gross than the sycophantic reality. We did a little editing of her long weird letters, getting them down to convenient bullet points that Trump might be able to process.
Our week actually ended not with the apocalypse, but with a drink, as it always does. It’s something called a “Black garlic martini,” though, so maybe that’s a little apocalyptic all on its own. Also, as Hooper, Your Bartender, explains, it’s not made with “black garlic,” it’s just got “black” and “garlic” for you.
Happy Friday, and we hope you have a great weekend! Wonkette will be here Saturday and Sunday, and the One-A-Day will be back Monday. We love you.
I *LOVE* this song. I actually thought it was older than 2021. I spent a big chunk of 2020-2021 with my mom in Cleveland being her Pandemic Pal and I discovered the song listening to WJCU - a college radio station out of John Carroll University there in Cleveland. Those kids play some damn good music.
