This explains EVERYTHING about 2026 so far in one cartoon:

(Source: https://www.austinchronicle.com/comics/this-modern-world-14/)

The Austin Chronicle

This Modern World • The Austin Chronicle

A Tom Tomorrow cartoon strip with FAR too much dialog to copy. TLDR: two scientists are talking. The older one explains that the US president's brain is such a dense vortex of narcissistic self absorption that it has collapsed in on itself, creating a localized black hole (and we're all trapped in the event horizon). "On the bright side—it could be a form of subjective immortality, as long as we don't mind spending every moment of eternity thinking about Donald Trump!"

@cstross As the time lag between satire & reality crosses zero, we enter… the #Dongularity

So the chaos in the White House and the captured media is just his accretion disk? Oh, good, maybe they’ll all melt into a quark soup.

This is normal behavior for dictatorships that subvert democracy. They want you to feel overwhelmed and give up.

In all seriousness, my father has #dementia as well, and he no longer has any sense of time.

Things that happened DECADES ago just happened "recently" in his mind (like losing the 2020 election is for T****) and he obsesses about it (also like T****.)

He makes stuff up (not actually "lying") to fill in the gaps in his memory, and can be a quite paranoid (everybody is out to do him harm.)

There is NO question in my mind #OrangeJuliusCaesar has dementia.

I remain extremely pleased that Donald Trump will eventually cease to exist, as per the trajectory of human beings for all of history. Physics and biology have never served us so well as in this matter.
