Video of me and Prime Minister Ocasio-Cortez shaking hands in front of an enormous dirigible factory. She is holding a big scissors, with which she will cut a ribbon. You cannot hear what I am saying to her, but read my lips to find: "Don't get that thing near the dirigibles. You'll pop 'em."

It may be a generational thing but I can't image spending hours of my day listening to some dipshit flap his gums. Don't these people have any inner life at all?

Trump Says a Recession Might Be Worth the Cost. Economists Disagree.
President Trump and his advisers say his policies may cause short-term pain but will produce big gains over time. Many economists are skeptical of those arguments.

Canadian brewery selling pack of 1,461 beers to cope with Trump's presidency | CBC News A Canadian brewer hopes a massive crate of beer will help customers deal with the exhausting news cycle under U.S. President Donald Trump. Moosehead's Presidential Pack contains 1,461 beers, in 473-millilitre cans — marketed as "just enough Canadian lagers to get through a full presidential term."

Yeah but who else sells 1461-packs?

Lure the Americans in with visions of living in a stable democracy governed by people who aren’t sociopaths?

Also, poutine and Moosehead?

This whole campaign is disgraceful. This administration which is riddled with actual antisemites is using antisemitism as a stalking horse for its campaign against all universities. A kind of elaborate and hideous gaslighting.

Writing Fellowship, Summer 2025 at The Onion

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.

In case anyone’s forgotten, USIP is =not= a federal agency, =not= part of the executive branch, and =not= subject to the whims of Musk and DOGE, who committed felonies by forcing their way into its offices. All who did so ought to be in police custody and facing criminal charges.

I just got back from 36 hours in Ukraine with my brother Scott. Wanted to share a story from while we were there. At a hospital, we talked with a wounded Ukrainian soldier.

I asked him what he thought about the recent change in US policy. His response in English was, “What the fuck.”

once again I have to invoke the specter of Ronald Wilson Reagan, who is in Hell now. under Reagan, the term "government spending" was effectively demonized. fuck you, Reaganite ghouls! spending money, on its people and their needs, is the function of government! public works are good! say so!

The time for a spine Democrats who censured Rep. Al Green are as clueless as they are feckless.

“Trying to appeal to a voter who will congratulate you for scolding a member of your own party for peacefully protesting fascism is a losing game because that voter does not exist.”

In my 47 years on this planet I have never been scolded for being a man.

If you could be driven to Rogan, Peterson, or Tate it is a safe bet that you are not being scolded for being a man, you are being scolded for being an asshole.

Being hated never drove me to hatred. I was bullied in school, dismissed and derided by society and my peers, my choices and my body never acceptable enough for the white supremacist patriarchy. What I DIDN'T get was told I was owed everything. That it was my RIGHT to be on top, everyone beneath me.
