Hey Shacknews, it’s time for Weekend Discussion! Let’s officially close out our weekend with some thoughts, updates, and a little fun.

### Your Daily Dose of Sudoku
This is a special one. When will the madness end? I do not understand how the United States can work its way back from here. It’s going to take decades to recover the trust of allies—if the far-right even collapses.

### Halo Speedrun, But Cursed
I love *Cursed Halo*. Such a funny mod that brings a whole new twist to the classic game.
—
### The Enshittification of Hotels
How about we stop chasing higher and higher profits? It’s no wonder people are opting for Airbnbs these days.

### Some Good News for Your Day
Hopefully, we can remove even more toxic content this year. There’s always a silver lining!

### Words Matter
But words also mean different things. Confusing! Creepy! This, combined with bone catacombs and cathedrals, really wigs me out.

– *Opus No. 1* – Tim Carleton
– *Rescue Me* – Zebrahead
– *I’m Still Standing*
