The funny thing about a certain type of angry conspiracy guy is that they’re literally being confronted with an elite paedophile ring and a tyrannical government at the same time right now, and because it isn't being done by the people they wanted it to be done by they’re all being pussies about it

A one-day slowdown is irritating. A one-month slump is terrifying.
With support for abolishing ICE growing and a bipartisan backlash prompting Trump to at least feign a more conciliatory approach in Minnesota, this is the moment to exert pressure. bit.ly/4aoo0an

Many in this thread rightly cite "Jurisprudence Fetishist Gets Off On Technicality" -- a perfectly constructed joke -- but my favorite, after all these years, is still "Man In Headlock Just Wanted To Party." A tragicomedy in seven words; "For Sale: Baby Shoes, Never Worn"-level economy of phrasing.
What is the quintessential Onion headline? The strong contender that just randomly popped in my mind is "Hank Williams Jr. Honored by Institute For Football Preparedness"

I can't remember the details, and can't find them now, for my favorite Robert Redford anecdote, but: When Indecent Proposal was being discussed, someone asked a film critic if she would sleep with Robert Redford for $1 million, and she replied, "Yes, but where would I get the money?"

I’ve been saying it since 2016, but I still think SNL would kill if they did a skit where Putin sings George Michael’s “Father Figure” to Trump. “Put your tiny hand in mine” indeed.

This is an important and overlooked dynamic. A lot of what the Administration says and promises to do is based on lies. And to quote Craig Mazin’s “Chernobyl,” “every lie creates a debt to the truth.” Eventually that debt has to be paid.

For kids will die certainly.
The old and rich will live on awhile,
As always,
Eating blood and gold,
Letting kids die.
