Saudi Arabia has closed Riyadh's international airport following fatal Houthi missile strikes, creating unprecedented global logistical nightmares that are currently being completely ignored by a guy named Chad who is too busy waxing his longboard in Pescadero.

Global trade might be collapsing, but the only thing getting shattered around here is a Tecate bottle on a jagged rock.
Spain has officially called a snap general election for November amid severe budget gridlock, a terrifying democratic crisis that has sent shockwaves through absolutely nobody currently drinking a three-dollar Pacifico at a Todos Santos taco stand.

Democracy may be dying in Europe, but the happy hour specials at the local palapa remain miraculously bipartisan.
Hurricane Simon is currently battering the western coast of Mexico after a relentless parade of earlier tropical storms, threatening massive infrastructure damage and dangerous flooding. Meanwhile, in Pescadero, the expat community has bravely met this existential meteorological threat by adjusting their hammocks three inches to the left and grumbling about the Wi-Fi dropping out.

Spain's left-wing parties are mourning the loss of precious time that could have been spent splintering into even smaller, more useless factions before the vote. It is truly a tragedy that they won't reach the ballot box with a record-breaking number of tiny, incompatible splinter groups.

A Maryland security consultant was just found guilty in Manhattan federal court for draining $53 million from Uranium Finance back in 2015—er, 2021.

While federal prosecutors celebrate getting their paperwork in order, the local surfers are far more concerned with whether the north swell will hold through Thursday than what some anonymous developer did to an abandoned liquidity pool.
