This Week on Dispatches from Clown World we overcome our own incompetence with computers to discuss Trump’s big Peace 2025 conference in Egypt. Like many, I find it hard to know what to say about this tragicomic scene. We can be glad the bombs have stopped for now, but Trump’s absurd claim about having ended a 3,000 year old conflict is simultaneously incorrect and premature. Will any of this hold, or is Israel just waiting for a pretense to continue bombing? Is it reasonable to be optimistic?
Our other topics are: the Young Republicans group chat leak, OpenAI erotica, Ana’s Happy Merchant, Reddit founder is a redditor, Sweet Home Yerushalayim, MAID the whales, and “bluetoothing.”
Here is that incredible concert performance:
On Alexis’s True Crime Corridor some strange man who is probably of terrorist descent is stopping women on the roads in California pretending to be injured, though it is unclear if he has committed any crimes.
Our Meeting of the Week is Trump and Javier Milei.
In Clown World History, it has been 17 years since the 2008 stock market crash!

That is all for today. Hopefully our lack of enthusiasm after fighting with Audacity didn’t make the podcast more terrible than usual.
Thank you for listening. As always, you can find Brad on Twitter @WaywardRabbler and Alexis @LaissezLexi.
