Today’s top global stories get the EditorialCartoonsAI treatment — news you can actually laugh at.

From Bolivia’s tense election and Hurricane Erin’s windy downgrade to Khamzat Chimaev’s UFC smackdown and Zelenskyy’s Washington trip, we sketch the serious with a side of satire. Add in a singing bureaucrat getting suspended, Florida baking like a frying pan, Hoboken’s Pride party, horse racing drama, Norway’s film festival, and divine timing on Gokulashtami — and you’ve got the world, but way funnier.

It’s the headlines you need… doodled, roasted, and podcasted into something you’ll actually want to listen to.

From Trump promising to keep Putin “in check” in Alaska’s icy summit, to India’s 79th Independence Day celebrations complete with Google doodles, cricket, and 4 AM metro rides — today’s headlines are too good not to sketch. We’ll roast Maharashtra’s one-day meat ban, peek at Yorkshire’s unexpected ‘flaming summer holiday,’ and even place some cheeky MLB prop bets. News so hot it could light a moor on fire… or at least keep you awake for that early train.

Dive in for a potent blend of satire, spit-takes, and smart analysis — served with a side of dark humor. We'll decode today's headlines with wit—and maybe spark a chuckle or even a gasp or two.
