Satire’s hardest job: keeping up with the headlines.
When names start writing the script, reality veers into satire. On the same news cycle, President Trump revived the “Department of War” by executive order—restoring a title that sounds blunt enough to belong in a political cartoon—while two “Minnesota men” with impossibly parodic names, Benedict Nwana Kuah and Pascal Kikishy Wongbi, were arrested as alleged leaders of the Ambazonia Defense Forces. Truth, once again, proves stranger than parody, and nominative determinism, hopefully, keeps doing its work.
Satire may be optional, but sourcing is not—here are the receipts:
