Dr Alice just tagged me on this one, and I have to admit – I thought it was pretty dang funny.

‘Peak April 1’ she said.
Absolutely, and an excellent use of AI.
But the best thing is how these guys laugh at themselves so easily. They are comfortable in their skins and don’t care if you know it, which makes them impervious to insult and damn near impossible to rattle.
April fools! https://t.co/MgjTfdr1YX

The silly joke naturally had to be explained and parsed by ‘the news.‘

You know that it has to have the opposition, who have nothing to offer but ad hominem attacks, in spasms of frustration, which only increases the level of their manic ferocity.
Doug Burgum’s Department of the Interior was in the spirit, too, posting these ‘nomenclature reclassifications’ of wildlife seen throughout the National Park Service.
Known for its resourcefulness and ability to operate under cover of night, the Liberty Bandit reflects a distinctly American spirit of independence.
Additional updates will be announced in phases, including renaming the skunk (Mephitis mephitis) the Freedom Fogger. 😉 pic.twitter.com/TzKJIAQ5Dj

Keep your eyes and nostrils peeled for Freedom Foggers.

What a hoot.
The Park Service hit it early with a charming post they sent out yesterday.
The entire attitude is refreshing and totally non-preachy.
You got this. Go out and paw-sitively crush it today.

Were we not in such serious times, you know there would be exceedingly clever April Fools posts from Vance (perhaps a visit from his chubby cherubic doppleganger), probably from State, if not Rubio himself (dressed for action on the couch for assignment as yet another head of state), but the world being where it is right now, they’re awfully busy with heavy stuff, as it should be.
Other countries, not so much. And the people in charge in those places hardly know how to laugh at themselves.
Having watched for quite a while, I’d venture a guess that they probably don’t feel much like doing so, considering how popular they are in any event.
Take the Labor Party in the United Kingdom right now…[in her best Henny Youngman voice] PLEASE.

They’ve sunk so low in everyone’s estimation that Larry, No. 10 Downing Street’s geriatric resident feline, made more complimentary news today for catching a mouse during Prime Minister Starmer’s press conference than Starmer himself.
WE COULD ACTUALLY SEE THE GRUESOME END TO THE MOUSE
Larry is 19 years old… He’s been Chief Mouser for 15 years…

BUT PERHAPS THAT’S THE MOST INTERESTING THING THAT HAPPENED TODAY IN DOWNING STREET
Woof. That’s brutal.
Some April Fools’ aren’t really jokes but jibes, poking at fools now wishing they hadn’t been so foolish.

I would like to leave you with an April Fools video I’ve just seen for the first time that took some doing on the part of the professor giving the lecture.

I hope those kids appreciated the thought and spirit that went into it.
