WELCOME LETTER FROM THE EDITOR-IN-CHIMP

Dear Readers,

It was never my intention to lead a media organization. I had plans, solitary ones involving bananas, philosophical detachment, and a modest treehouse with fiber internet. But then I observed your species from a cautious distance, and the urge to comment became overwhelming.

Thus, The Witless Wire was born. A publication dedicated to documenting, dissecting, and sometimes dry-heaving over the disorienting spectacle that is human civilization. From dubious wars to questionable influencers, no absurdity escapes our editorial eye, which is, in my case, positioned a bit higher up the evolutionary tree.

As a chimpanzee, my qualifications may be questioned. And yet, one look at the state of global leadership, and I ask: really?

I will be offering weekly observations, critiques, and the occasional disapproving grunt. These dispatches are written not to attack, but to examine. Though I confess the distinction is increasingly academic.

I am joined in this endeavor by my human Co-Editor, Nina J. Her presence is meant to assure you that this is not, in fact, an all-primate operation. She is intelligent, diligent, and only occasionally challenges my editorial supremacy.

On behalf of the species still capable of learning from your mistakes, I welcome you to The Witless Wire.

Sincerely,
Hugo V.
Editor-in-Chimp, Reluctant Witness
