Receipts: read the paperwork.

The cartoons are ours. The documents are theirs. Start with the AI-to-SI order and the signed safety accord, then follow the naming spree. Every entry tells you who issued it, when, and what it supports. The label maker has a paper trail.

A joke still has to get the facts right.

We distinguish an executive order from an accord, a secondary title from a statutory name, and a company leader from a CEO. The invented scenes belong to the cartoons. The factual claims belong to documents you can read.
