It's Potemkin Village Time, someone needs to take Krasnov to an Airshow for his birthday

Make sure he gets lots of movie popcorn and an ice cream Sunday before his nap time. When he wakes up tell him he won another golf tournament, show him an AI clip of him playing golf on the moon so you can tell him he is considered the best golfer on the moon. Better than Arnold Palmer.

Then tell him it's always his birthday now and repeat the previous day. Make sure he gets all the movie popcorn he wants.

I read up on it and now I fear packaged mac and cheese.

As I drilled down and looked for safe butter flavor substitutes it became clear that butter flavoring was a mine field of dangerous compounds. Natural or artificial, butter is the safest butter flavor, so let him enjoy his movie popcorn, with lots of the movie butter stuff added. Let him have the large movie size diet coke to wash it all down!
