Y’all hear about this?..

• Trump tried a friendlier pitch with Latino voters at a Univision town hall. Unfortunately, by Trump standards that means he said “Grab ‘em by the Puss in Boots” in a Spanish accent for 39 minutes.

• Meta is laying off employees at WhatsApp, Instagram, and more - forcing their bitter, post-firing group chats to take place via messenger pigeon.

• A man has been discovered to have two extra penises by medical students dissecting his body, marking only the second time ever someone has been found to have three penises — and leading many to hypothesize that four is a crowd.

• NASA will do space in style with the Prada Axiom spacesuit. Hopefully it will inspire more high fashion you can poop in.

  

Finally…

• The U.S. says it's watching Israeli actions in Gaza to ensure no 'starvation policy.' However, it hasn’t clearly defined its stance on a ‘starvation suggestion.’
