The Onion wants to make us submissive slaves to the New world order.

Correct.

Nothing wastes more time and clogs more toilets than religion.

Yet again I remind everyone (as Elizabeth does in her very next tweet) that "foreigners are corrupting our pure blood with weakness & disease" is Fascism 101. Not some variant, not some metaphorically similar thing, not some echo -- the thing itself.

You're going to want to watch this.

For those that can stomach it, Wilson clearly lays out the Heritage Foundation's goals for our country on the Making Sense Podcast.

One of these elections Americans will realize what Republicans bring to the table.

Day 53 of Operation Epic Failure. Still an Epic Failure. Republicans still haven’t told us what victory in Operation Epic Failure looks like. No goals. No strategy. Just Market Manipulation by the Ultra wealthy and corrupt elites.

This is me right now

My cousin Shawn took weed to impress a girl when we were teenagers and his asshole & penis switched places. All the doctors at the (real) Pitt threw up when they saw it. Be my guest and Get “high” if you want this to happen to you

they are framing the opposition as the "vocal minority" and "leftists" in my hometown of Lusby, MD. The other lie is "if you want to use your phone and your kids want to play video games they have to be built here.

If there is anyone out there that would be willing to look into the shady backdoor deals that brought this to my hometown of Lusby MD, I would be forever grateful if your work paused these facilities from moving forward. All of our county commissioners signed NDAs with Bezos.

They are putting one, on a peninsula, next to a power plant and a gas plant in my hometown of Lusby in Calvert County, MD and all the planning was done in secret with the county commissioners signing NDAs with Bezos. Fucking awful. I've been labeled a "leftist" for opposing letting the oligarchs in.

It looks like it was screaming "OMG! OMG! OMG! the entire run.

It looks like it was screaming "OMG, OMG, OMG!!!" the entire run

Alt text: Black-and-white political cartoon styled like *Alice in Wonderland*. A caption at the top reads, “Said Alice… ‘It’s the stupidest tea-party I ever was at in all my life.’” At a tea table, Alice sits on the left looking uneasy. Across from her are caricatured men at the tea party: one in rabbit ears labeled “Pat B.”, another smaller figure labeled “Ross P.”, and a larger man in a tall hat labeled “Donald T.” Teacups, saucers, and a teapot fill the table, with a large tree trunk behind them. >In October 1999, presidential candidate Patrick Buchanan switched from the Republican Party to the Reform Party, creating divisiveness within the emerging third party as his political platform differed markedly from that of founder Ross Perot. In the meantime, real estate magnate Donald Trump had formally established his Reform Party candidacy. Trump was favored as the "Stop Buchanan" candidate, but in February 2000, he withdrew from the race. In August 2000, Patrick Buchanan accepted the presidential nomination from one wing of a decidedly split Reform Party. For Herb Block, the situation evoked one of Sir John Tenniel's famous illustrations for Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

Look who I found. 🙄 Published in the Washington Post, October 31, 1999. #Herblock

This is an anti-Semitic pseudo historical theory, but you know, he’s an ass

Is Galloway the British version of Roger Stone?

Jesse Waters is wearing a blue suit while raising his his arm. The low armhole is forcing the shoulder pad to lift off his body.

James Cagney is wearing a suit while dancing. He's jumping mid-air and raising his arm. Since the armhole is cut correctly for his body, the jacket stays almost totally still, even as he's moving. He looks much more elegant than Waters in this sense.

When a jacket's armhole is too low or not properly shaped for the wearer, it can restrict movement. This can force the shoulder pad to lift off the body. Good tailoring should allow for free and comfortable movement, making the garment look natural on you.

Some evenings downtown Baltimore is just impossibly beautiful and peaceful.

Credit to the Block family for selling to the non-profit Banner at a discount. They were offered significantly more by a for-profit chain that would have further gutted the paper. They saw what rhe Banner is doing in Maryland and opted for civic responsibility.

A Baltimore-based thread to explain one singular, overriding reason why American journalism is incapable of compassing and explaining the astonishing misrule and the implosion of all our governing norms. To wit:

A few decades ago, as a police reporter covering the Baltimore department, a new...

Blanche always looks like he left the wire hanger in his jacket

That’s one hell of a cover…..

Hooray! So great to see it out and about in the wild!

This seems bad. And it's clearly what we expect to happen under an authoritarian government.

What a great ed cartoon, @pxmolina.bsky.social !

Tracy Kidder, Pulitzer-winning author who turned unlikely subjects into bestsellers, dies aged 80 Writer looked to topics such as computer engineering and life in a nursing home to produce richly researched books

When I was embarking on my first book of narrative non-fiction, I wrote
a proposal for publishers that cited three examples of the form that I thought beautiful and flawless. Two were "Soul of A New Machine" and "Among School Children." Tracy Kidder was a gentle, graceful master of the form.

You are relentless, sir.
