They critique Stephen Colbert's monologue suggesting Americans should be willing to pay higher gas prices for a "clean conscience."

In Germany, authorities have warned that publicly displaying the letter "Z"—used by the Russian military—could lead to criminal prosecution. This move is compared to historical bans on letters in 1960s Greece and the modern "canceling" of Russian authors like Dostoevsky.
