Should have written “enormous load of Travis Kelce penis submissions” but what’s done is done. #alwaysediting

This is solid (nice touch with the big cross necklace), but it still comes off a bit too on the nose, even for this fascist administration. So thanks for the look, but we’re going to pass. Maybe try submitting to McSweeney’s Pyongyang Tendency?

[Braces self for a load of Travis Kelce penis submissions.]

Bari’s CBS off to an unsurprising start.

Trump is trying to turn pop culture, but whatever, good luck with that. I mean, the right is like, “We love Springsteen’s music, but don’t care for his politics.” Has anyone ever heard anyone on left say, “Kid Rock is awesome, but don’t care for his politics”?

I have lived and worked in and around Chicago for 27 years and I have been assaulted less often than Sen Paul has been in his own back yard.

Live from "war ravaged" Portland

Oh great, like we need even more IKEA-themed submissions.

YouTube video by wrongindustries Museum of Science Vintage Commercial

The past keeps providing blasts. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VA3n...

The Museum of Science here in Boston used to have this state of the art exhibit (ca. 1981) where you spoke into a phone and then it played back your voice so you could hear what you sounded like on a phone. IT BLEW OUR MINDS. Anyway, that was way much better than this shit.

When you’re a parody of a parody of a parody of yourself, the transcript more than suffices.

It really is amazing how each day he says something unfathomably dumb, yet the next day he manages to top it by saying an even more unfathomably dumb thing. So like the dumbest thing he said last Thursday somehow now doesn’t seem as dumb compared to the dumbest thing he said today.

NESN has aired the ad during Sox games too.

Lots of way worse things going on, but whenever I see that Chevy Equinox commercial with New Order’s “Age of Consent” in the background, a part of me dies.

Boomers’ hilariously bad intuition when it comes to technology and social media will save us in the end.

Another dumb tweet from Nate Silver, blaming Bluesky for the left being out of touch.

It’s all just middle school. If your group shows doubt in you, you find a new group, and you feel safe again. Until the new group dumps you.

What if the press just didn’t show up to these ridiculous displays of nonsense? I mean, OANN and Fox and whatever damaged person with a blog who has access would, but if the mainstream news orgs just ignored these things, he’d just be preaching to the bonkers choir. That would castrate him, no?

Well, that was quite the week. Thanks to all who submitted their work to us, and to all who read and shared our pieces. Glad so many folks still turn to satire to help get through these bonkers and appalling times.

Trump in January: I will stop all government censorship, protect free speech, and never use the power of the state to persecute my opponents.

Trump in September: Anyone who disagrees with me should be taken off the air.

As if this day wasn’t already brutal enough, I now get to watch my horrible Dolphins get annihilated on national television.

There might be some confusion over what "Free Speech" means at the moment, so here are some helpful FCC guidelines for Late Night hosts. My latest on @mcsweeneys.net www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/upd...

Hey, @redsox.com, can you do something about the ICE recruiting ad on NESN? Or should we expect ICE trucks outside Fenway sometime soon?

“Professor Plum in the conservatory with a bottle of ketchup.”

The FBI director is providing satirists with a bevy of material today. What a time to be alive.

Charlie Kirk, Redeemed: A Political Class Finds Its Lost Cause By ignoring the rhetoric and actions of the Turning Point USA founder, pundits and politicians are sanitizing his legacy.
