This ‘doctor’ forgot to iron the right side of his fake backdrop

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

every day I think about the comms strategy of the korean opposition party in the wake of the coup and I get so burningly resentful that other countries have legislators who are awake

Listen, we were all young and stupid once. You can’t judge someone for the thoughtless and provocative posts they made all the way back in September and December of 2024. It was a different time back then.

If they wanted to take over the country, they only had to wait like three weeks until every technocratic nerd was unreachably distracted. They fundamentally do not understand us, and that is why they will lose.

Megachurch Conducts Successful Nuclear Missile Test | Onion News Network While Supreme Pastor Joel Osteen has fired ballistic missiles off the Gulf Coast before, today marks the first time Lakewood Church has tested nuclear weapons.

Ok man, I’ll tell them

Are the next 4 years really going to be logging on everyday to sentences like "a 19 year old doge intern called Big Balls has your social security number" because I'm already at capacity for this sort of thing

What if there were a coup, the US government fell to a drug-addled oligarch who seized control of our money, secrets, and levers of power, and Corporate media did not report on it?

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

As someone trained as a trade economist, it is my duty to share the 1929-1933 Kindleberger Spiral, showing the month-month decline in global trade due to the combined factors of the (global) Great Depression and retaliatory tariffs. Smooth Hawley is implemented mid-June 1930.

I live in New York City in the year 2025. The president is a convicted felon. The mayor of NYC is an indicted felon. The secretary of defense is a Fox News host. The secretary of transportation is a Fox News host. The very worst people in America are in charge of America.

The screenwriters this season are a bit on the nose

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy: "Obviously, it is not standard to have aircraft collide. I want to be clear on that."

If Valium isn't helping you sleep, have you tried listening to the soft sounds of Chuck Schumer expressing outrage on the Senate floor?

if we staff ICE with Uvalde police officers, they'll never enter schools

Trump pardoned a small army's worth of people that launched a violent insurrection to overthrow the government and install him as dictator. Their leaders were doing decades for sedition...and now they're free to try it again. What's the media breathlessly covering? Immigration guidelines.

White House reporters are excited that after four years of boring interviews with subject-matter experts they now get the adrenaline rush that comes from the personal attention of a president who threatens to have them executed. www.cjr.org/political_pr...

The White House ordering DOJ to drop pending prosecutions is a breach of the department’s traditional independence that would be an earthshaking scandal under ordinary circumstances.

Been thinking about this cartoon. For no reason. Really. It's from 1889 -- during the Gilded Age.

y’all told me i was crazy when i downloaded all of tiktok and put it on blu-rays but who’s laughing now

Today at Home Depot: "How much is that plywood?" $36 "Oh, we okay then, now that Trump is back. Not like when Biden was President, he made it $80 a sheet." I just stared in disbelief. These people voted for fascism because they think the President magically controls commodity prices.

Writing tip: After you finish, go back & cut all the adverbs. Then all the adjectives. Then all the other words. Eat the paper. Now you're free.

I just spent all day on the phone with the SBA trying to sort out errors in their Disaster Loan system. 8 hours and all they managed to do was break one more of my loan apps. I'm terrified of Trump ending the Republic but I do look forward to him terminating vast swaths of the federal bureaucracy.

I am walking deep into the woods and never emerging

there is nothing that makes me stop listening to someone faster than using snarky nicknames when referring to dangerous oligarchs. you're not funny or smart for calling him "elongated muskrat". please stop.

OpenAI is completely screwed. If they're losing money on $200/month, they're losing it on $20/month and their real costs are so much higher than they can ever get anyone to pay. A pale horse. techcrunch.com/2025/01/05/o...

no one ever asked for an "engaging" refrigerator. we want it to keep our food cold and not cost too much. if my refrigerator ever starts talking to me i will empty a .308 into it

somebody decided to start the year by dying an upsettingly portentous death

Despite my vigorous objections it is now 2025.
