Remember, Democrats have repeatedly advanced measures to ban partisan gerrymandering and Republicans have voted against them time after time.
This is the game Republicans wanted to play. OK, then.
The Onion has reached a deal to acquire Infowars
• It will be turned into a parody site of itself
• Has the support of the Sandy Hook families
“A lot of people gave up on doing the right thing over the last two years. Despite an insane amount of threats & bullshit, we persevered"

I just an ad on youtube for a puffy jacket with a removal hood and they were talking about it like they had just split the atom.
"This is the only jacket of its kind.."
No it's not. That's not true.
1 year ago today I was terminated by DOGE from USAID where I worked to get humanitarian aid into Gaza. Everyone I knew across almost 10 years of my career across 3 prior jobs became unemployed as well. My entire LinkedIn network suddenly became "open to work"
I'm a one issue voter. Punishment.
I teared up at this. Alex Jones's harassment campaign against the Sandy Hook families is one of the most legitimately evil things I have seen in my lifetime. I'm so glad The Onion is still fighting back.
Pennsylvania's auditor general, a Republican, audited 210,000+ new voter registrations under Gov. Shapiro's new motor voter system to see if noncitizens were registering to vote.
They found one. One.
And that was because a PennDOT staffer erred. It was fixed before the driver left the office.
One reason that we cannot have professional diplomats representing the interests of the United States is that it would disrupt a pattern of personal enrichment for the Presidents allies and families.
Vive la France, encore un fois!
TMZ setting up in DC to follow politicians around is FINALLY the appropriate lowbrow "news" coverage this administration has merited all along.
This is a big one. Stellar reporting from Sarah Fitzpatrick. To call it a must-read is an understatement: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...
I love that these execs are so stupid and insulated from actual humanity that they are putting up billboards about eliminating all our jobs and are surprised about backlash. It’s like they accidentally made billboards out of the secret evil emails they send to one another.
The FCC was designed to be an independent body, not a tool for MAGA allies to target journalists and comedians. Brendan Carr has repeatedly proven he is not fit to be Chairman and should resign or be fired immediately.
I think part of the reason the Pope thing is hitting so much is that modern life is so devoid of *any* morality, any system of right and wrong that is not completely hollow and fraudulent, which hits as halfway sensible and opposed to Trump and those like him, feels absolutely revolutionary
Orbán rode to power on resentment over the economic stagnation that developed under center-left governments. But he leaves office with Hungarians facing falling wages and higher inflation than similar countries are experiencing. Orbán’s sectarianism and intolerance have sparked neither a religious revival nor a fertility bump; Hungary’s population is shrinking and has become more irreligious, even as Orbán has demonized LGBTQ people, “Muslim invaders,” and Jews. Orbánism, in short, did not make Hungarians more rich, Christian, or free—unless you happened to be one of Orbán’s buddies, in which case you may have gotten rich. As most Hungarians felt their economic circumstances worsen, Orbán provided them with relatively powerless targets to hate.
Orban made grand appeals to “Christianity” and “Western Civilization,” but his “illiberal democracy” was just a scam, a way to make him and his buddies rich while subjecting Hungarians to stagnation and robbing them of their freedom. Sound familiar? (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
A reporter needs to make him prove this. "Sir, your faith advisor says you can quote so many sermons and it seems like the country needs that right now. Can you do that for us? Right now?"
I'm keeping depression at bay by watching Arrested Development clips and I feel like that's a bad sign.
OpenAI: We’re burning money like the Joker. A miracle needs to happen for us to turn a profit
Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here
Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse
Media and universities: AI is here to stay
Also, "woke" in the now-common white supremacist appropriated vernacular just means "I'm a bigoted and/or complacent piece of shit, and every reminder of the vastness of human diversity—up to and including simple basic acts of human decency—confront me with my moral failing, causing me to lash out."
I asked for a thermos for Christmas and I fill it from home and take it with me to the gallery or library or wherever I'm working, and I feel more like a genius every day.
I don't know if young people these days understand that this kind of grotesque gutter racism was simply not acceptable in public... not that long ago!
Love seeing conservatives argue for separation between church and state but only when religious doctrine conflicts with blowing people up
Youtube needs to settle down with the deodorant ads. People don't sniff each other's armpits. That's not real.
I'm going to guess that these results are why I have become a misanthrope. Because in general we end up around people our own generation for various reasons and well, people around my age mostly suck.
The gall of this coming from someone who made his conversion to Catholicism a huge part of his political narrative among a party that has wrapped itself in Christianity for 50 years www.nytimes.com/2026/04/13/u...
Having driven uber / lyft for several years and being intimately familiar with the economics of these apps I can 100% promise you that this is complete bullshit. You couldn’t get $11,000 in tips if you sucked everyone’s dick at the end of the ride.
NYT article on Mrs. Bezos and this in screenshot: More Perfect Union @moreperfectunion.bsky.social · 21m A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week. For more than an hour, workers were instructed to continue working as the man lay dead. One worker wanted to help, but a manager told them to “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work," according to @thewesternedge.bsky.social .
