Unless you think it means Probably Three Secret Daughters (keeping the ants in line)

“There have been complaints about lighting during the latest episode of House of the Dragon, HBO’s prequel series to juggernaut Game of Thrones. After many viewers expressed their disappointment with dark lighting in pivotal scenes, making it difficult to see, HBO Max tweeted that the ‘dim lighting of this scene was an intentional creative decision’. Look, I’m not Steven Spielberg or Barry Jenkins, I haven’t directed anything. But in my opinion, if your intentional creative decision is that people can’t see the TV show that you’re making, then you’re making a podcast, all right?” —Trevor Noah

“There is a trend of dimness on prestige television. Everything on TV is so dark. You can’t see anything. I don’t know why. Are they trying to make it grittier? Or are they trying to make it feel like a movie? Maybe they figure if they make it dark enough, we can’t complain about the cast not being diverse. HBO has faced backlash for the lighting choices, but I think if they’re smart about this, this could be a good business opportunity for them. They should just add a higher price tier, such as offering HBO Max at $9.99 a month – or $14.99 a month if you want to be able to see what the fuck is happening.” —Trevor Noah

“In other news, GOP commentator Newt Gingrich went on Fox News to defend Herschel Walker, the anti-abortion Senate candidate in Georgia who was recently revealed to have paid for his then-girlfriend’s abortion in 2009. Gingrich defended Walker’s fitness as a Republican candidate: He’s been through a long, tough period. He had a lot of concussions coming out of football, he suffered PTSD. See? Walker isn’t a bad guy! He’s just had so many concussions he can’t possibly be held accountable for his actions. You know, a senator. Also PTSD isn’t the acronym you’re looking for, Newt. Unless you think it means Probably Three Secret Daughters.” —Stephen Colbert

“A magisterial collection. A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night of the Earth 

and Orwell’s 1984.”
