TEHRAN (The Borowitz Report)—The leaders of Iran’s Islamic Republic crowed on Thursday that they have begun to achieve their goal of regime change in the U.S.

“First Kristi Noem, and now Pam Bondi,” the official Iranian statement read. “The dominoes are falling one by one.”

Iran said that, although the US claims Donald J. Trump is still in power, “His speech last night did not prove that he is still alive.”

French President Macron offers blunt advice publicly to US President Trump: “You have to be serious. When you want to be serious, you don't say the opposite every day of what you said the day before. And perhaps you shouldn't talk every day.” https://www.france24.com/en/macron-says-unrealistic-open-hormuz-strait-force-urges-trump-be-serious

In unusually strong criticism, Macron accused Trump of constantly contradicting himself on the Iran war and of undermining faith in the NATO military alliance.

My latest column, on the false promise of LLMs and generative AI. I’m not afraid of machine intelligence. I’m afraid of human stupidity. We are taking what could be a useful tool, and abusing it to delude each other and ourselves. https://albertaviews.ca/ai-fever-dream/ #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #AI #yeg #Edmonton

When DOGE employees break the law, their names should not be secret.

In the Privacy Act lawsuit against DOGE and the Office of Personnel Management, EFF helped unseal the names of employees at the center of the violations. Read yesterday's Court opinion. https://www.eff.org/files/2026/04/01/2026-04-01_opinion_and_order_dckt_208_00.pdf

Interestingly I worked on codebases which were bad, so bad that I still tell stories about them, but none were as bad as that. I couldn't understand why FOSS developers would be so eager to become dependent on an expensive closed-source tool, but still doing so given what we know now about that codebase is irresponsible.
