Legitimately thrilled to get this in the mail today. Put a smile on my face in spite of everything. The Onion, everyone!

The classic "sickos" image, a cartoon guy standing outside a window, looking in with a black long sleeve shirt with "sickos" prints on it. The image is printed four times in a pop art style, with each panel having its own color scheme.

I understand where it comes from - I am fairly heavily life insured - but it's never in that direction. it's more "hahaha I died you'd make BANK." And my wife is newly horrified and upset every time.

our politics have ossified so much so that shows from 30 years ago don't need to change a thing.

For 40 years, Angels PR legend Tim Mead knew where to stand

Between branches of government and the rise of AI, there seems to be a curious trend of people wanting no responsibility at all, to happily cede it to bad faith or black box, and just hope for The Best. It's apathy as a lifestyle.

There is some psychology here we just haven't been able to answer.
