A vital read as Jackson's glossy biopic enters theaters and the estate bends ass backwards to sanitize his legacy

4 Screenshots from the movie "The Fog" (1980): First, an older man in a sailor's cap sits by a campfire on a beach at night, telling a story to children seated around the fire; subtitle reads, "One hundred years ago, on the 21st of April...". Second, the same scene continues with the fire casting dramatic shadows on the storyteller’s face and subtitle reads, "out on the waters around Spivey Point...". Third, the fire burns brightly in the center as the man gestures while speaking; subtitle reads, "a small clipper ship drew toward land." Fourth, a close-up of the man’s face illuminated by the firelight as he stares intensely; subtitle reads, "Suddenly, out of the night, the fog rolled in."

This is your fault, Martha’s Vineyard dinner party hosts. If only you had been as nice as the people on Epstein Island, this poor beleaguered man would still be cited on Fox News as “even liberal Alan Dershowitz.” But not anymore. You just had to take it too far.

The Reagan counterrevolution only deepened America's problems. It turned the country against government and against taxation. Remember, after eight Republican years in the 1950s, with George Humphrey as Secretary of the Treasury, the highest marginal tax rate was 91 percent. Contrast that with the situation last year when the rich acted as if raising it from 28 to 32 percent were the end of Western Civilization. So overwhelming is that opposition, that politicians who privately see no other alternative to raising taxes, remain silent, because to favor tax hikes publicly would be political suicide.

the past is another country

The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil.

It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.

Please stand by for more.

They fear Gender Studies because it unapologetically exposes the real reasons why all of these middle-aged men would indignantly wear clown shoes solely for the approval of other men.

The head of the FBI isn't supposed to be getting blackout drunk. He's supposed to be cross-dressing

this is fucking nuts:

I’m sorry he got so blackout drunk they had to ask for SWAT door busting equipment?!

In hindsight having the World Cup played in a country that couldn't give less than a shit about soccer and has laughable public transportation that bends to the whims of the market seems like a bad idea.

Heartbreaking! Worst New Yorker you know about to go on tirade about bodegas.

The House passed our extension of TPS for Haiti with a 224 vote victory of Democrats & Republicans alike.

This has been a long-fought battle to defend our Haitian neighbors & our communities, and we're not letting up.

The Senate must take action without delay.
