The Department of Energy.

Krugman: David. I do not say this enough. But you are doing really important, really valuable work here. Obama only did this once.
Larson: Let’s see here.
Bernat: Remember.
Larson: “Defense is not in the Prediction business.”
Bernat: Technically the only said that about Ukraine-Russia. But yeah.
Larson: “Tony Stark built that in a cave in Afghanistan!
Bernat: *cringe*
Larson: *calls SLJ*
Bernat: *cringe*
Larson: He really does pan to “the defense department” for “updates on the operation”. It is his bedroom. It /really/ is the fallout from his bedroom…
Bernat: And how angry are we at Trump for the “Presidential Suite” video?
Larson: He is on trial for the Hush-Money. *pans* Do you see this NYT?
Krugman: Domestic correspondents could start winning Pulitzers.
Bernat: Who’s neck do I wring for this? C’mon man. It’s my /birthday/.
Larson: And /what did you do in response/?
Bernat: Blew up Obama. Built us two Iron Man rigs in space stations.
Larson: Yes. Not exactly the birthday present I was gift wrapping you.
Bernat: If “why is /this/ happening /now/” had a face it would be that —
Larson: — cringe? — cringe blush?
Bernat: But hey I have a ring out in the middle of nowhere to show you.

Larson: So, let us see here.
Bernat: I keep looking for that photograph of our new watch.
Larson: It is there.
Bernat: I just dislike scrolling over three years of photographs again and —
Larson: We all see why you want him to drop his contracts.
Bernat: Oh. I do not think it looks like hi —
Larson: I meant generic observer of Israeli actions.
Bernat: But that would imply Israel was behind the pandemic.
Larson: *cough*
Bernat: I said — that would imply Israel was behind the pandemic.
Larson: *cough*
Bernat: I SAID —
Krugman: — Israel is behind the psychological wall keeping you two apart.
Bernat: Which explains the war. We paid our debts by December 2022.
Russia: Of course they did.
Bernat: For the vaccines. To win the White House for Joe Biden.
Russia: Of course.
Krugman: And what — pray tell — has the last two years been abou —
Larson: “We have lawyers. We have accountants.”
Krugman: BUT THOSE PILLOWS WERE TO MOVE BERNAT IN THEN!
Bernat: Ouroboros snake eats its own tail, Boss.
Larson: Let’s see. You have tape over your computer. So you are Mark Zuckerberg 2016 — oh, we are the new Meta. Phew. That is a relief.
Bernat: Because —
Krugman: OH!
Bernat: — yeah.
Krugman: OH!
Bernat: Russia is /really/ angry — /too/.
Krugman: I MEAN THE OTHER THING.
Bernat: I KNOW.
Krugman: OH!
Larson: And you are wearing a white t-shirt. Oh, well that’s good. For us —
Bernat: Paul Graham did get so so angry that I did not know how to dress myself —
Zuckerberg: HOW DO YOU DO THIS?! YOU CANNOT FLIRT WITH HER TOO?!
Graham: Hay. David. Go to hell. Would you? Hurry. Kindly. Kingly. And Fast.
Bernat: “And in other news, in a moral supremacy known only to the four readers of this blog post — so far — President Bernat protests the War in Israel by wearing a white t-shirt in October 2021 /for his wife and himself/.”
Krugman: The politics of Alabama are /all/ wrong?!
Larson: And I see the tree — oh, and your hat —
Bernat: What burns me up is the Captain Marvel parachute wizard of 2022.
Larson: Exactly. Starlight wind physics. The toy. And where was I going….
Bernat: If I had the picture of your watch it would be the closer on the right.
Larson: Because Defense is not in the Prediction business.
Bernat: But our Watch is.
Larson: And /certainly/ not Israel — yikes!
Bernat: Big, big drop. *points to Gadot* You’re definitely “in the game” now.
Larson: *cringes*
Bernat: 5:56PM.
