I would make a joke about irony, but honestly, I don't know if anyone actually understands what it is.
And if I did someone would inevitably come along in the comments, and try to explain irony, and even more inevitably someone would correct them, and then really this is just a joke about hubris, which is probably ironic, but who the hell knows.
What kind of high-school experience did you have? Were you in a clique? Were you popular, unpopular, the coolest kid in your Homeschool? Did you have a sweet jean jacket with patches, or maybe a leather vest? Were you an evil villain or a Mary Sue?
The whole point of discussing this is an exercise in futility. People simply do not have enough information to judge for themselves, and there is some movement to declassify some persuasive intelligence that Congress was briefed on.
A good example of how headlines differ from stories. The difference is usually due to layout/headline writers being different from the reporter, and they either fail to read the story or "spice it up" by misrepresenting the contents.

A teenager in the window seat was almost sucked out of the plane! His phone and his shirt were ripped off of him and sucked out. He was saved by his mom holding him in.
🤔 I need to call my tiny mom and apologize for all the times she did "seatbelt arm" on giant me in the car whenever she had to slam on the brakes. I laughed at her! I didn't know the true power!
Watching a couple of comedians I normally follow on various social media and noticing how (since they're not leaving twitter), they've become more anti-liberal, can't stop talking about Musk as if he's a joy and a novelty, name-drop no-name republican politicians with friendly ribbing, become overtly misogynistic in their jokes.
I first thought they were on Elon's payroll, but I think it's just that they are afraid of becoming poor because twitter is their new audience, and they have changed
Journalists making claims about science should quote their assertions with an actual link to a paper or something - rather than "scientists say this" or "scientists say that" and then quoting one named scientist in the article.
