The Onion Made an Absolutely Unhinged Jeffrey Epstein Mockumentary "Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile" is a very silly deep dive on a very serious issue. In the current media landscape, it’s a wonder it even got made.

When did The Onion decide to make a Jeffrey Epstein mockumentary? Once Trump started acting “dodgy” fielding questions about Epstein.

“There's this big gap where information should be," @bencollins.bsky.social said. They thought "it would be very funny to fill it with complete fucking nonsense."

March for Humanity: Sydney’s Beacon of Solidarity in the Rain The March for Humanity, attended by an enormous crowd, highlights the depth of concern for the plight of Gazans in Sydney's community.

Sydney’s March for Humanity not antisemitic, just pro-humanity.

100s of thousands of people, despite shocking weather conditions, marched in support of the lives of people on the other side of the world. Those people, victims of a live streamed genocide.

Who is Andrew Gruel? Celebrity chef offers free meals and parking lot to camp out to LA residents displaced by wildfires Amid the devastating Los Angeles wildfires, celebrity chef Andrew Gruel offered support to displaced residents. On January 8, 2025, he took to X to extend help to those affected.

"Update: Anyone who has left LA and headed south. You are welcome at our restaurant, 16600 PCH, 92649. We have a large parking lot, you can stay as long as you need and camp out. We will provide free meals for all of those affected," the chef wrote.

That assertion is wrong. The city was in the process of negotiating a new contract with the fire department at the time the budget was being crafted, so additional funding for the department was set aside in a separate fund until that deal was finalized in November. In fact, the city’s fire budget increased more than $50 million year-over-year compared to the last budget cycle, according to Blumenfield’s office, although overall concerns about the department’s staffing level have persisted for a number of years.

I don't know if the LA fire department is properly funded or not but the claim that the city cut its budget last year — which is circulating widely on the right — is false.

As Politico notes, the budget actually INCREASED by $50 million. A portion of the funding was approved in a separate bill.

Good morning and Happy Wednesday to everyone who agrees that trump's bizarre fixation on taking Greenland, the Panama Canal, and Canada by force is all a distraction because he can't deliver his promise to lower prices.

Donald is a deluded, demented, dumbass dipshit.

We love Canadians. Thank you.
