UIJEONGBU — Corporal Maxwell Klinger has finally been discharged from the Army after the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the Trump administration's ban on trans military members.

Klinger, stationed in Korea with the 4077th MASH unit, expressed relief that the day he had been looking forward to his whole life had finally arrived, and he could finally get out of the Army and get back home to Toledo, Ohio.

"Persistence really does pay off," Klinger said while wearing a frilly pink dress. "Everyone told me to give up years ago, but I knew if I stuck with it, I could get out of this place. On the bright side, I've managed to build up a really impressive wardrobe after all this time."

Other members of the 4077th said Klinger's consistency seemed to have an effect on the rest of the unit. "He's definitely not the only one here wearing dresses these days," said friend and colleague Corporal Walter "Radar" O'Reilly. "I don't know if it's other people being inspired or what, but there sure are a lot more fellahs dressing like ladies around here now. We all always thought he had a screw loose, but in hindsight, he turned out to be a real trendsetter. I'll be sad to see him go."

At publishing time, Klinger was reportedly hoping to follow in the footsteps of another prominent cross-dressing American serviceman and someday serve as the U.S. Assistant Secretary of Health.

Pluto, humanity’s favorite dwarf planet, is getting some high-profile allies.
“Star Trek” actor William Shatner wants to use Elon Musk’s political sway to get Pluto reinstated as a full-fledged planet.

“We should ask Elon to get the President to sign one of those Executive thingies to make Pluto a planet again,” Shatner posted on X, the social media platform owned by Musk, a financial backer and close ally of President Donald Trump.

Musk responded: “I’d support that.”

The power of the president’s executive orders is the subject of much debate. One thing is clear, however: Pluto’s status is not determined by the president. The International Astronomical Union, which reclassified Pluto as a dwarf planet in 2006, is the arbiter of such classifications.

I think she misspoke when she said it was owned by the US Navy. Apparently it suffered some sort of power failure and was out of control. In other videos I saw a harbor tug racing toward it but obviously didn't make it. The Brooklyn Bridge was unaffected.

There were men in the rigging and I believe the two deaths and multiple injuries were confined to the crew not onlookers.
