Remember that mysterious sonic weapon the Cubans fielded against the US nest of snakes for many years? Chump is trolling with headlines for the goldfish memories of the West so they can lap up another one. Pride comes before the fall, and it is getting extreme, meaning the empire is a rudderless ship in total shambles despite all the loud bluster. Those who keep calling themselves "powerful" are not. Those who keep bragging are insecure. Those who keep threatening have no real plan. The world quietly moves on without America, Israel and Europe.

And Winnie Xi Pooh does nothing

Fan-favorite Great British Bake Off judge Prue Leith has announced her time judging the bake offs has come to an end. “After nine series and judging more than 400 challenges, I have decided to step down as a judge on The Great British Bake Off,” Leith writes on Instagram today. “Bake Off has been a fabulous part of my life for the last nine years, I have genuinely loved it and I’m sure I’ll miss working with my fellow judge Paul, Alison and Noel and the teams at Love Productions and Channel 4. But now feels like the right time to step back (I’m 86 for goodness sake!), there’s so much I’d like to do, not least spend summers enjoying my garden. Whoever joins the team, I’m sure they’ll love it as much as I have. I feel very lucky to have been part of it.” Leith joined the show back in 2017 after stints on the other series The Great British Menu and My Kitchen Rules. Leith has been a chef since the 1960s, opening her own Michelin-starred restaurant in London in 1969. The chef admitted she was skeptical about joining a reality cooking show at first because “I’m not very good at watching telly,” she told Delish in 2024. “And especially hadn’t ever really watched food programs. The last thing I wanted to watch was more food because I spent all day with food.” Now, she can spend her day doing whatever she wants.
