A detail from a US $100 bill. The bill has been tinted orange. Ben Franklin's face has been replaced with an indistinct blur surmounted by Trump's hair. The lettering in the scrollwork beneath the portrait reads 'TRUMP.' The '100's have been turned into '000's. The writing 'ONE HUNDRED' now reads 'NONE HUNDRED.' The series issue has been changed to '47.' The Secretary of the Treasury's signature has been replaced with Trump's.

c46319ecac16f7a1.jpg Uncle Sam staring into a funhouse mirror that has made him painfully thin. The reflection is wearing a Trump wig and has orange skin. He stands atop a map of the world that stretches to infinity. In the background is a shantytown with the TRUMP logomark rising in the sky over it.

That feels pretty anti-competitive, and should draw a merger challenge. Netflix is likely going to follow the claims that Meta made in dodging a monopolization challenge: that it competes with a multitude of other claims on people’s time, from YouTube to social media. But this is ridiculous; the logical end point of that claim is that Netflix isn’t a monopoly because people can always shut their eyes and sleep. There’s clearly a market in paying a company a monthly fee to watch produced entertainment, and Netflix is consolidating it.

The staring red eye of HAL 9000 from Stanley Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey. In the center is the poop emoji from the cover of the US edition of 'Enshittification,' with angry eyebrows and a black, grawlix-scrawled bar over its mouth. The poop emoji's eyes have also been replaced with the HAL eye.
