What an accursed monkey’s paw

Many of us here in America are horrified and deeply grieving both the fact that so many innocent lives were lost AND the fact that our country has fully embraced being the villains. As they say, I hate it here.

Jules Winnfield had kinder words for the motherfuckers he was about to whack in Pulp Fiction than Becca Balint has for Noem here (the full clip is worth a listen).

IMO, any religion that asks you to spy on your kids’ porn habits and them to be alerted to yours is misguided but I’m not starting a war over it.

All I know is the absolute worst people America has to offer have wanted war with Iran as long as I’ve been alive so it’s pretty easy for me to be against it.

A Kuwaiti F-18 could do the funniest thing right now

I wasn’t a GI Joe kid growing up, and everyday I thank my lucky stars I didn’t turn out obsessed with guns and bombs like Hegseth and his fellow developmentally-stunted war bros.

“I vant…to smoke…your veed.”

our government combines the impulse control of pete hegseth, the intellectual rigor of rfk jr, and the attention span of donald trump with elon musk’s signature sense of humor

Now that he’s started a war, I’ve completely forgotten that he’s a pedophile.

Nine months ago, the United States "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear program.

Tonight, we're attacking Iran to disrupt their nuclear program.

A sizable percentage of this country thinks that's normal.

The first deaths announced from the US-Israeli strikes on Iran: dozens of school girls. They hit an elementary school in Hormozgan.

Cigarettes are so back

Wise words

Congrats to Pokémon on getting old enough to accept that they’ll never afford a house. Fortunately, re: Pokéballs, “they like it in there,”canonically

Evan nails it here. Committing to being an independent journalist is a fundamentally hopeful position that we can build something new from billionaires’ scorched earth, having no idea if it will actually work.

Jeez, that unholy trio (triumvirate is a better word, respect) is enough to chill any decent American to the bone. I hope cooler and wiser heads prevail somehow.

I know I’m in the minority thinking he’s unfunny, but I say it’s much more due to his supplicants laughing to appease the king. That, or they’re as easy to win over as he is when in the presence of power and money. He stays in control of the Republican Party because he’s the ultimate useful idiot.

If not for the man’s impeccable sense of humor, we’d never let him get away with everything. What?

Imagine being a kid and biting into a chicken nugget to find spinach inside. That’s supervillain origin story level trauma right there.

The Handbasket 100% independent journalism by Marisa Kabas

Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media.

(President Trump: I love the guy. He's a communist, but he's like my Indian son.

JD Vance: [closing a 4chan draft calling Zohran Mamdani a "filthy pajeet terrorist"] I mean look: absolutely, sir. Tell me how to feel and I will try.
