I was just at The Twisted Spine a few weeks ago for @maryrobinettekowal.com and @sentencebender.bsky.social’s book launch. They’re a wonderful brand new store that got hit hard by last week’s storm.

One of the things the Nazis did when coming to power was push propaganda that Jews were criminals and prone to violence by focusing on crime committed by Jews or fabricating crime they falsely attributed to Jews.

Hi everyone.
The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars.
We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website.
We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off.
I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.
