This Week in Stupid

For the Week of 22 October 2025

Wednesdays here at the Phil Elmore/Samurai Press Substack, we look at the dumbest nonsense the Internet has to offer. Let’s dive right in with… well, allow me to gesture vaguely at everything.

Before we get to the paid part of the post, and speaking of that vaguely indicated everything, would you be willing to sign up for my latest webinar for Street Sword 2?It’s on Friday, 23 October, 2025, at 8pm EDT. This is the sequel to my most popular, most infamous book, Street Sword: Practical Use of the Long Blade for Self-Defense.

Thanks for indulging me.

This week in the world of the dumb, we talk about some weird drama involving DoorDash and indecent exposure, not to mention a sort-of-related alleged sexual assault at TwitchCon. We’ll also look at an American Airlines flight that got diverted to Nebraska on the flimsiest of pretexts. Hey, did you know people on social media are gullible? They are. Finally, we have to ask the question: If Venezuela declared war on the USA, would any of us notice? Look for all that and more in This Week in Stupid.
