Weekends get one brief instead of three, and it runs on a longer clock: the lookback window stretches back to Friday evening, so a Saturday-morning story that broke while you were doing literally anything better still makes the read. News volume drops on weekends but consequence doesn't — agencies and companies love a Friday-night release precisely because they're betting you've stopped paying attention, and this slot exists to lose them that bet. Everything here runs through the same machinery as the weekday briefs: items are scored against the Bullshit Index, wire-service headlines from Reuters, the AP, and the BBC pass through verbatim, and coverage of the same event across multiple outlets collapses into one card. Two minutes, and you walk into Monday already knowing what everyone else is about to be surprised by.
