My attendance record in the European Parliament was the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs, yet I managed to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation. Thankfully this is of no interest to the media.

It’s been a year to the day we bought (and then didn’t, for reasons we still don’t fully know) InfoWars. We’re still trying. In the year since, we built The Onion into one of the biggest newspapers in the United States. I’m so proud of this place. I’m proud we do hard stuff. Thank you for caring.

Nigel Farage is a Trumper. And we in the USA are under siege by his authoritarian regime. As we have learned, and as the UK & allies know from WWII, fascism can only be defeated by a UNITED opposition across borders & issues.

Let’s see what the ethics adviser says, but maybe instead of all this jumping up and down, now would be a good time to discuss how we look after disabled children and build a more caring country.

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)

Only gone and blumming dislocated my finger. Popped back in okay but never dislocated anything prior to now and it was a little odd seeing a part of you bend in a way you've never bent it before

I mean.... Yeah, pretty much this "Have flowers sent to my wife" was always an on-the-nose shorthand for someone who had allowed their desire for success to cloud their familial responsibilities Why are people so happy to lean into it for interpersonal communication?

A rich exec tells their assistant to write a birthday note for their girlfriend -- they're immediately a villain in a 90's/lifetime movie. Now people are using AI to do this and don't blink an eye.
