All the news you need to know from the week that was.
Congratulations on making it to the weekend! What better way to celebrate than by catching up on the news of the week with another fantastic (If I may say so myself) edition of The Punch-Up!
We’ve got a Barbie battlin’ diabeetus, Angel Reese is a video game cover athlete, and Afghanistan wants the world to know that it is open for tourism.
It’s been quite a week, so let’s dig right on in!
Angel Reese will appear on the cover of the WNBA edition of the video game NBA 2K26. The developer says that it's the perfect opportunity to show off the game’s new, upgraded airball mechanics.

Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase, blasted Democrats as "idiots’ with "little brains" over their policies. "Hey, don’t lump us in with them," said little-brained idiots.
Afghanistan announced that it is welcoming tourists using a fake hostage video. The nation’s tourism board said they just wanted to kick off the campaign by paying tribute to one of the country’s most popular film genres.
Got all of that?
Good. See you back here next week.
