The world of technology has seen significant advancements in recent times. A new AI translator can turn English into LinkedIn speak, making it seem like every user is a thought leader celebrating micro-wins. Meanwhile, self-emptying robot vacuums are on sale ahead of Amazon's Big Spring Sale, making it easier for people to avoid vacuuming by hand. On the other hand, a new horror movie, Hokum, has left audiences screaming, and a brain-training app, memoryOS, is helping people improve their memory recall.

However, in the realm of global politics, the consequences of diplomatic fallout are being felt. After years of antagonizing allies, President Trump is now begging for their help in opening the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway adjacent to Iran. Unfortunately, those allies are not jumping at the chance to join Trump's war on Iran, leaving the president trapped in a needless war of choice.
