This was the tamest of the memes I found.

True! I love buying collected trades of comics and gifting them to pals. Many a SAGA has been purchased.

Today in life under competitive authoritarianism

Once again, the Dennis Green Unified Theory of 🇺🇸 Politics remains totally, completely, absolutely undefeated in 2024

The GOP Came Out Ahead in Legislative Races, But Their Gains Were Modest and Uneven Our annual review of incoming state legislatures breaks down the swing in each chamber and the five biggest political and policy takeaways.

Instead of reporting outside in a hurricane to show viewers how windy or wet it is, TV journalists should report from an oil refinery and explain why the world has become so dangerous.

If we were a more serious country, this would be front page campaign-ending news tomorrow. It won't even register. In fact, it will be completely absent from the front pages of the Papers of Record, just as all the lies & all the authoritarianism have been on a near-daily basis for weeks now.
