"That sounds like some weird nazi shit to me."

That's how you should respond to the hate you'll hear.

Not walking away.

Not ignoring.

Calling. It. Out.

Right on. Cancelled Prime more than a month ago and don't regret it one bit.
DO NOT give your money to Jeff Bezos. He has plenty. Make a list of the books you want to buy as gifts and buy or order from a local bookstore...if you want those stores to continue to exist.

What’s worse?

(1) having your mother call you out as a dirt bag in an email published in the New York Times

(2) having a porn star you paid $130K in hush money pick little plastic mushrooms depicting you off a tray on the Jimmy Kimmel show

Fox filled my mom's head with disturbing narratives, replacing her memories of reality with new story lines starring her good friend, "the Trumpster." She doesn't know my name anymore, but she knows his. I lost her and she lost me. And that is all I need to know about the power of state media.

My mom was showing signs of dementia. Her television kept "breaking." With each frantic call, I raced over to reset the remote and duct tape everything except the power button. I tried to leave it on Hallmark, but the evil channel always found its way back to number one position. Fox News.

👏👏👏👏👏 to the Onion for buying Info Wars with backing from Sandy Hook families and Everytown for Gun Safety. Here's to the power of satire!
