I predicted someone like Trump many years ago, in THE DEAD ZONE. So now I'm saying this--in the next 12-16 months, we're going to find out if the two machines for the removal of a man unable to fulfill his duties actually work. They are impeachment and the 25th amendment. He is deeply unwell .

Every day, I think: there’s no possible way it can get dumber and more embarrassing. And then Trump does something like this. And yes, this is real. It is all too real.

This is real

It’s being done in our name

Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week.

Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool.

But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.

Being a Luddite Is Cool and All, but Have You Seen the Hilarious Tapestries These New Looms Are Making? Don’t get me wrong, I’m as invested in keeping my job as the next weaver. When the boss brought in that big new power loom, I was pretty skeptical....

"This machine-slop will lead to the death of my craft, all so we can reflexively consume mass-produced garbage and keep the working class poor. I get why Luddites are pissed, and if these tapestries weren’t so funny, I’d be right there with them, bashing those machines to bits."

A yellow warning sign that reads “Caution: Respirator Required Beyond This Point.” The sign is posted on a locked door inside The Pit, a series of R&D labs in a sub-sub-basement of ParaMorTorque, Inc. Bob stands outside the door in a bright orange Mylar suit. His respirator is, as the sign demands, securely attached to his face. He swipes his ID and punches in a passcode. The door slides open and a sulfurous blast hits Bob in the face. Bob steps inside the chamber and as the door slides shut behind him, he hears the chittering click-click-click of keratin claws on the concrete floor.

Breaking: Minnesota and Denmark enter into a mutual defense pact.

In 1995 a newscaster in a green suit and tie delivers an urgent report about a forest fire. The inset screen behind him shows a landscape burning orange. He’ll deliver this story every summer for the next 30 years. It will no longer be breaking news by that point. It will be everyday news, paired with the meteorology report. The fire becomes part of the weather.

When Kittens Came to My Prison, I Had Not Petted One in 15 Years I had not touched a cat in 15 years when an orange kitten wandered over to sit with me in the grass.

"I had not touched a cat in 15 years when an orange kitten wandered over to sit with me in the grass one day. I was left without adequate words to describe that experience. It reminded me that I am alive."
