The Onion summer writing fellowship is seeking applicants! It's six months, good salary and benefits. This year's applicants do NOT have to complete the Eating Challenge, as it turns out this does not adhere to Illinois labor law. We apologize to those who have died in the past.

NYT: “The White House did not comment on why the group had altered the contracts data or why it’s now harder for the public to scrutinize it.” The *savings* have been changed and altered — and are nowhere near what @MarshaBlackburn claims they are. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/13/u...

“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.
