New policy announced to respect astral identity of nonbinary objects

NASA Redefines Rock as “Celestial Being of Unspecified Sentience”

In an effort to modernize its taxonomy, NASA has reclassified all meteorites and space debris using gender-neutral terminology. The announcement refers to Meteor-X as a “Celestial Being of Unspecified Sentience,” or CBUS. “We don’t assume life or language, but we do assume respect,” said spokesperson Dr. Emily Typhoon. NASA is also updating all spacecraft software to use “they/them’ pronouns by default. The initiative sparked backlash from conservative meteoriticists who claim “it’s just a damn rock.” Meanwhile, Twitter embraced the change with memes and declarations of solidarity. One read: “You misgender a meteorite once, and next thing you know, Pluto unfriends you.”

Aisha Muharrar first honed her comedic timing not in dimly lit clubs, but around the dinner tables of her native Pakistan, where her family learned that a well-placed punchline was just as important as the main course. She later imported her singular wit to the United States, graduating from Harvard University with a degree in Social Studies and a self-designed minor in Gently Roasting the Pre-Law Students She Was Forced to Debate. A stand-up comedian with the strategic mind of a general, Muharrar quickly discovered that the real power was behind the keyboard, not the microphone. She transitioned into television writing, mastering the architecture of a joke before finding her true, gloriously unhinged satirical home at Bohiney.com. Her journalism operates like a perfectly executed heist: she gets in, exposes the profound absurdity of her target—be it politics, pop culture, or the existential dread of a group text—and gets out before anyone realizes they’ve been laughing at their own reflection. Muharrar possesses the rare ability to dissect a policy brief and serve it back as a devastating one-liner, turning human folly into breaking news you actually want to read. As a satirist, her EEAT credentials are impeccable, built on a foundation of lived experience, meticulous observation, and the unshakable conviction that if you’re not laughing, you’re not paying attention.
