Damage Report!

For the Week of 11 May 2026

Every Monday feels like Captain Picard sitting on the smoke-filled bridge of a recently shaken starship Enterprise, demanding a report of the damages. Every Monday, I’ll bring you news and commentary from around the world to assess just how bad it has gotten out there.

Last week was another rough one. Today we cover the death of a Star Wars actor and the death of Captain Planet’s creator, a sexy cheerleader has come out as bisexual, several horrifying and avoidable deaths occurred last week, the air was poison in Texas and thereabouts for a while, and more. Check it all out after the paywall (which you won’t notice if you’re already a paid subscriber).
