Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
I cannot wait for this. The Onion, the satirical news company that repeatedly spoofed conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, has won the bankruptcy auction for control over his media empire — most notably InfoWars, the far-right, conspiracy-minded website that served as Jones’ primary online platform. The Onion plans to shutter Jones’ InfoWars and rebuild the website …

It could be that I’m way out to lunch on this one because it’s been years since I’ve taken anyone to see Santa at a mall and even longer since I was the one visiting him, but when did those visits stop being free and start costing 15 goddamn dollars? And just look what you …

You really do learn something new every day. I, for example, just learned that in many parts of the United States there exists something called a rental application fee, and that those words mean exactly what they sound like they mean. I shouldn’t be because if there’s a way to rip a customer off a …

Got an email this morning from our good friend Jason Dunkerley, whose name has come up here a time or two through the years and who is almost certainly involved in a few of the stories where names are missing. For several years he’s been working on and off at writing a book about his …
ONN projects that Neo-Nazi candidate Lucas Brennan has defeated three-term KKK incumbent William Kent in Alabama’s 4th congressional district, flipping a House seat that has been occupied by the Klan for more than five decades.
Might as well go ahead and post the election reactions from Colbert and Kimmel while I’m at this. Everyone did a fine job of being realistic and funny in the face of all this shit. No one tells the guy who cleans the bathrooms that they must be happy about the explosive diarrhea. It gives …
Another good election reaction video, this one from the Daily Show. The question that really needs asking isn’t why Harris lost, it’s why Trump won. And a related one that I’ve been thinking about. What, to a 2024 Trump voter, would have been too far? I have my political preferences and dislikes just as anyone …
Here’s Seth Meyers reacting to Trump winning. It’s funny as you’d expect, but there are also a few important reminders. In particular, that history isn’t a straight line. George W. Bush won twice. Remember that? Remember how hopeless that felt? I do. But that wasn’t the end. And neither is this…probably.
As I laid in bed last night, sleep avoiding me at all cost and with the reality that my closest, loudest neighbour just lost his damn mind again sinking in, I wondered what I was going to say about it. Should I even bother? Does it matter what I think? How do I even express …

It’s always fun listening to someone who appears to be discovering in real time that he’s being a total dipshit. You can almost feel the panic, mental calculations and sense of resignation in your own self as reality sets in. Coffee mishaps are brutal, but NOT a 911 emergency! Nor were nearly 125,000 misuse calls …
