Believing everybody is secretly as much of a stupid racist loser as they are — but that other people aren’t brave enough to admit it, like they are — is one of the most important core delusions of MAGA.
Both these options sound objectively amazing, why do racists keep assuming everyone's racist?

I heard an NPR reporter refer to January 6th as "perhaps the most videotaped crime in history" which is a really good way to drive home just how ridiculous and brazen the Republican attempts to rewrite history have been.

I think I'm going to start the new year by buying some children's books, namely "Vampirina Ballerina" by Anne Marie Pace and "Rostam Wrecks the Realm" by Olivia Abtahi.

The Christmas tunes I've shared so far have focused on children. But what do adults look forward to during the holidays? SNL veteran Ana Gasteyer has the answer: Sugar and booze!

In 1955 Sid Tepper and Roy C. Bennett wrote I'm Gettin' Nuttin' For Christmas. It was performed by many musicians, but the best remembered one may be by Stan Freberg. Here it is with animation by Doug Compton.
