SJ197: Here come de judge, TikTok, WeChat, Galaxy Fold 2, Final Cut, Tesla, iPods, and ... CompUSA?!

The theory that we have slipped into an alternate dimensions is the only explanation our Science Officer can come up with to explain this bizarro world of weird news, cadets. We've got court dates, bad actors, failing factories, social network revolts, idiots with self-driving cars, and the sure sign of a pocket universe ... computer store chains reappearing that died off centuries ago, kinda like Brigadoon! If you see any crewmembers with goatees or eyepatches when they normally don't sport them, notify the command deck immediately!
