This wouldn't be at all surprising. Also, I've figured out that Borowitz is like The Onion.

Photograph of a very happy and very spoiled beagle who would like to inform you all that it was a *very small* glob of yogurt, and therefore he would like a second rawhide treat, and maybe a peanut-butter bone, too.

As I brought Benny Beagle a glob of yogurt for his dessert, and this spoiled beagle trotted happily to his bowl — secure that something tasty was coming his way, and that he deserved it — it occurred to me how much joy it brings to have given one little rescue beagle a better life.

Poem title: At the Intersection The poem is divided into two overlapping circles. The left-hand circle is titled ‘me’ and the text reads: the day we went out to have an ice-cream, we said nothing just let our silence melt in the air as we walked across the common our love never tiring at all The right-hand circle is titled ‘you’ and the text reads: we should have talked it over but nothing ever seems to get in your fat head. You are so common that I wish we’d never met at all and I’d married Tim instead In the intersection of the poem (where the two circles overlap), the text reads: we have nothing in common at all

The mathematician John Venn was born on this day in 1834. To commemorate the occasion, here’s a poem in the form of a Venn diagram.

This is the only piece I’ve published this year, so I’m sharing this again for those who may have missed it. I hope you’ll read it if you haven’t yet.

Oof that reply 🔥

It's time to sit down, Ted.

💯.

I tried not to like it but then I started laughing. He has obviously never read any of derek guy's threads on "men's fashion". Disliking the current timeline of the emboldened louts thanks to the lout currently in the WH.

Derek Guy unleashed is probably my favorite 2025 plot line so far. 😂👍

So clever that he deserves a treat. 😆

He doesn’t want to “reduce chronic illnesses,” he wants to reduce people with chronic illnesses

I’m sorry but I really have to stand up for myself and independent media here. Everyone is crediting Ken Delanian for the Maxwell sex offender waiver story, but I was hours ahead of him. Hours. Independent media is important.

When the cryptocurrency entrepreneur Eric Schiermeyer heard that President Trump was holding small group dinners with major donors, he saw opportunity. Mr. Schiermeyer reached out to a lobbyist with connections in Mr. Trump’s orbit, who arranged for him to attend a dinner with the president at his private Mar-a-Lago club on March 1 in exchange for donations to a pro-Trump PAC called MAGA Inc. totaling $1 million. The personal and corporate donations were among dozens of seven- and eight-figure contributions to MAGA Inc. from crypto and other interests revealed in a campaign finance filing on Thursday night that hinted at the access Mr. Trump accords those willing to pay. At the dinner, Mr. Schiermeyer, who had never given a federal political donation before, presented an idea for a cryptocurrency called “U.S.A. Token” that would be distributed to every citizen, according to interviews and a flier he distributed to attendees that sets out details of the proposal. He hoped it could be su

Cryptocurrency interests, which have benefited from the Trump administration’s dismantling of a yearslong government crackdown and from the Trump family’s financial interest in the industry, appear to have been the most generous industry, accounting for nearly $45 million in donations to MAGA Inc.An affiliate of the exchange Crypto.com gave $10 million, while the crypto services company Blockchain.com donated $5 million. The venture capitalists Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, who are heavily invested in crypto, gave $3 million each. Ondo Finance, which has a partnership with the Trump family’s crypto company, donated $2.1 million to MAGA Inc., on top of $1 million to Mr. Trump’s inauguration.

The scale of Trump's pay-for-access scheme outlined by the @nytimes.com is mindblowing. Crypto contributions resulting in business deals with the Trump family crypto businesses, oil companies buying influence and later reaping benefits from friendly policies, and a $1 million pardon.

All of them.

'Hearing the concerns' of racists is just barely concealed racism in itself.

Those "concerned parents" outside "migrant hotels" remind me a lot of the paedophile mob panic created by the News of the World's "name and shame" campaign in 2000.

Same idiots. Same press. Same mentality.

Yes - the News of the World.

Remember why they shut down?

"We will impeach and remove the president for his many crimes" seems like a good midterm election pitch to me idk

It's the fluffiest, and cutest slug I have ever seen. I'd kiss it on its fluffy noggin.

At dinner tonight (our favorite local Mexican restaurant) my 6yo boldly shouted "muchos gracias!" at our server as he left the table. The man turned back, smiling, and said "de nada!"

"Wow buddy!" I said.

"What? I speak Spanish, and I speak Michigan" he said, nonchalantly.

Ken Paxton is great because he's never not testing the limits of human reasoning. He's a pioneer in stupidity. He's like an astronaut for the completely spaced program. You've never seen someone more dedicated to being openly moronic without a shred of charm to show for it.

Yes. I wish the economists still in this admin would resign en masse. You think this is bad? Wait till they ask you lie and cook the books, and they will. You will be the one left holding the bag for that. "I was just following orders" isn't an excuse.

I know we are the stupidest county *right now* but are we the stupidest country ever?

Sus. This is the woman who wanted to dance in the sunshine by exposing her colleagues' sexual harassment reports over Matt Gaetz and then was fine with it all. I do not trust her words. She's backing up for a run up to something despicable. She's no friend to human beings or animals.

‘They roll right over’: Many Democrats call their party weak and ineffective, AP-NORC poll finds A poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds that many Democrats see their political party as “weak” or “ineffective.”

This shouldn’t be surprising. The only way to fight back is to… actually fight back.

If Democrats want to improve their approval rating (or far more importantly, make actual change), we need real leadership to put up real resistance to authoritarianism.

As he ducks the Zohran question, worth remembering Senator Booker has gotten $900,000 from AIPAC. (He also voted for Kushner’s pardoned father’s ambassadorship)

Sigh.
