I don't know if the addlebrained authoritarian going to war with the ketamine-fueled fugue state zillionaire is going to end without bystanders harmed. But shit is hard and this is funny so I'm willing to take a beat to enjoy it.

I worry that not enough of a big deal is being made about how long-term the devastation of these budget cuts to our scientific and health agencies will be, beyond the absolute ruin they will cause in the acute period.
