After a week of absolutely insane headlines, Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che had no shortage of material to dig into.Leading the charge was the massive social media frenzy over the shooting of UHC CEO Brian Thomas — and, more specifically, how some factions of the internet can’t stop thirsting over the alleged shooter, who many are calling "kinda hot."Other topics tackled by the duo included President Biden’s pardon of his son Hunter,

There’s a lot we don’t know about what’s coming for tech in 2025. AI could save the world, or ruin it, or do pretty much nothing interesting at all. A new US president could change priorities and policies on antitrust fights and privacy rules. Will TikTok get banned? Will the fediverse take off? Will it be the year of Matter? Will Grand Theft Auto VI change society forever? Will the next Mission: Impossible movie be awesome? Look, I didn’t say the stakes were always supe
