Donald Trump is the weakest man in history. Colbert and Kimmel both got canceled not because of ratings, but because large corporations wanted something from him, and he can't take the slightest criticism. To call Donald Trump a snowflake insults the durability of snowflakes.

I wish I had artistic skill primarily because I wish I could draw my cats.

This is a time for *civility.* And if any of you repulsive maggots so much as *think* a single thought that is different from the ones I am shouting into this microphone you should be beaten and jailed and ruined and set upon by wild dogs who feast on your flesh, you miserable shitstains.

Guys, I discovered the terrible truth about Zohran Mamdani, he's actually really fucking rad!"

thank you, muckraking journalists of the bari weiss tribune, for exposing the awesome stuff zohran mamdani has tweeted about like abolishing medical bills and seizing the property of millionaires

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that.

The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one.

This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.
I work as an elder and hospice caregiver, which I am oddly passionate about. I can love on them shamelessly and no one complains about my codependence. It's a win-win situation. Many of my caregiving colleagues complain about the repetitive questions and, sometimes reactions, of the elderly, especially when those patients happen to read the newspaper, especially with the current downward spiral of our country — as if these people haven't lived through enough horror... I love my dementia peeps, but sometimes wonder if there's a Guinness Book World Record for how many times an hour a dementia patient can repeat the same question — it's got to be in the hundreds. At least with small children, they ask different questions. Dementia patients will get stuck on one short question and ask it until you can interrupt their train(carousel) of thought and successfully redirect their attention. That carousel is pretty manic sometimes. A couple days ago, I picked up my mail from the post office and drove over to the nursing home to take (let's call her "Miss Daisy") Miss Daisy out for a drive. Before we took off on our road trip, to the end of The Road and back, in our landlocked little town (Juneau, Alaska), I set my copy of The Onion down in front of her. Over our two-hour excursion, tiny Miss Daisy read that front page at least a dozen times and each time she would snicker, giggle, and guffaw, then put it down on the dash board and, a minute later, discover it anew. I think it was the best afternoon of my life. We don't often hear them laugh and when they do, it's the sweetest thing you've ever heard. ... Thank you, thank you, thank you, for the really important work all of you do. You make the world a better place.

My latest for the New York Times:
Mamdani’s policies hit on a personal level. Last month, Mamdani came over to my house late at night. He banged on the door so loud it woke up my neighbor’s dog. I came to the door and said Hey why are you knocking so loud. He walked right past me and entered my house without even waiting for me to invite him in. He walked right over to the kitchen, opened my fridge, and asked if he could drink my special imported lemonades. I said he could have one, he took a single sip, said YUCK really loud, and started pouring all my lemonades down the sink. I asked him politely if he would at least give me the bottle caps for my bottle cap collection and then he demanded to see my collection. So I took him into my den and opened my velvet cases filled with antique bottlecaps. He asked me to read the lettering on the first one but when I brought it close to my face so I could read it he just pushed it right into my face. While I was distracted from this he knocked over all the bottlecaps onto the floor and told me to clean them up. I got on my hands and knees trying to carefully collect each of the bottlecaps and rearrange them and he started accusing me of eating the bottlecaps. I *don’t* eat the bottlecaps I pleaded. But he continued to laugh and then he made me eat the most expensive one. About a week later he called me on the phone to apologize for this incident. He told me that to make it up to me he wanted to take me out to dinner at my favorite restaurant, Jongo’s. I agreed. When I got to the restaurant I realized he had invited everyone from my life to the other tables: coworkers, family, friends, influential bloggers, people I had met at bottlecap conventions. Even Brad Lander was there. After ordering a glass of wine for everyone he stood up and initiated a toast. At first I was flattered but then his toast took a dark turn. He started telling everyone how I eat bottlecaps. When I protested he made me stand up and handed me the cork from the wine. The entire room started chanting: eat it, eat it, eat it! I have never felt so much peer pressure in my life. I ate the cork and the whole room laughed at me. They put the whole thing in the newspaper and also on the local channel one news. There is a big picture of the event on the wall at Jongo’s now and I can’t eat there without the staff making me eat bottlecaps, corks, etc. My neighbor's dog won’t even let me pet him anymore. This is why I feel like New York City needs different leadership.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Six film titles that are misleading…

6. Mission Impossible (it was possible)
5. Goodfellas (they were pretty bad actually)
4. Jurassic Park (Cretaceous Park more like)
3. The Constant Gardener (never even starts gardening)
2. The Man Who Wasn’t There (yes he was)
1. The NeverEnding Story (ends)

The RFK Jr. version of health, where health creates health and healthy people don't get sick and the thing that keeps you healthy is /living the right way/ is very seductive to a lot of people. It also places the burden of illness back on the ill, which decreases the value of human life.

I wonder if there's a way to find out the names of the shareholders suing United Healthcare for approving more claims. I sure hope nothing happens to them.

Everyone watching Pierre Poilievre eat absolute shit in Carleton and respecting Canada's bilingual culture.

Happy birthday to the big blue boy scout.
A 1940s PSA featuring Superman addressing a group of kids and saying "And remember, boys and girls, your school--like our country--is made up of Americans of MANY different races, religions and national origins, so...if YOU hear anybody talk against a schoolmate or anyone else bc of his religion, race or national origin, don't wait: tell him THAT KIND OF TALK IS UN-AMERICAN!"

I'm trying to understand Poilievre's plan to use the notwithstanding clause to lock up violent offenders forever and I don't get how it could possibly even work. If the law isn't renewed every 5 years it ends and then what happens to the convicted? Their sentences are unconstitutional again.
