Slammer time for insurrection Karen
Well, well, well. She tried to blame "antifa" for the riots, and that didn't work. She also tried to claim her white skin and blonde hair would save her from punishment. How's that working out, hmmm? Capitol Rioter Who Boasted She Wouldn’t Go to Jail Because She’s White Is Going to Prison Ryan in March... Continue Reading →
No, “Dune” doesn’t need a post-credits scene
The Danish cover, just for giggles. Because I'm 12. Why would it? But don't tell that to this guy at Screen Rant, because he thinks the film's lack of a post-credits scene (and the director's distaste for them) is one of its "major problems." Um, whut? Denis Villeneuve's After Credit Scene Hate Is The Problem... Continue Reading →

Trump shits himself on social media…again
So the Orange One's new social network is called Truth Social. Seriously. As if he's ever told the truth in his stupid, con-man life. He can't even do his new social media thing without using open-source code and claiming it for his own. Should we be surprised? Trump's Social Media Platform Could Already Face Legal...

The Turd Apple doesn’t fall far from the Turd Tree, does it?
This dimwitted nutsack will run for President someday, folks. Donald Trump Jr. Is Hawking Shockingly Tacky ‘Alec Baldwin Kills People’ T-ShirtsThe oldest Trump son, Donald Jr., is hawking $27.99 T-shirts on his official site with the mocking slogan: “Guns don’t kill people, Alec Baldwin kills people.” On his Instagram stories, the Trump son also posted...

Voter fraud found at last!
Bonk. Well, this is fun! Following their marching orders from Trump like the blindly obedient lackeys they are, Texas officials began offering rewards to anyone who could provide proof of voting fraud from the 2020 election. Of course, they were hoping to find evidence that Democrats fucked with the votes to help Biden win, a... Continue Reading →
Baby Thanos will destroy 50% of his toys
So... Naming your kid after Marvel characters is now a thing, I guess. These Marvel Baby Names Are Getting More PopularGiven that parents draw baby name ideas from countless sources, it’s no surprise that the Marvel world is now one of them. The U.S. Social Security Administration tracks the baby names given to five or... Continue Reading →
If Jesus is your vaccine, you’re probably gonna die
This is fascinating! Turns out that Martin Luther had the right idea about how to handle a plague nearly 500 years ago. What he condemns here is exactly the kind of "Jesus is my vaccine" attitude we've been seeing across America--he makes a great case for common sense and using the brain that God allegedly...

Schadenfreude roundup
(a.k.a. good news about shitty people) These days it seems like too many bad actors are getting away with their evil shenanigans. But sometimes they do hit a wall, and hard. So instead of posting only about the horrible things happening in the world, why not post some good news? Well, it's not good news... Continue Reading →
Superman cares nothing for your bitter man-baby tears

Question for ya
Should we think of the religious pro-COVID crowd as the Antichrist? Think about it: if you were the Lord of Darkness (or whatever), what better way to wipe out your enemy than convincing Christians that masks and a life-saving vaccine are somehow worse than a mass-murdering virus? It's genius! I don't really buy into the... Continue Reading →
Idiot of the day
Rep. Boebert thinks 5 deaths by bow & arrow are a "mass killing." Well, in Norway that makes sense. Here in America where guns are worshiped and even fetishized, it's just a tiny drop in a bloody, bloody ocean. Jesus, what a loon.

Ch-ch-ch-changes
You know what? I just turned 50 (I know, don't get me started) and over the past few months I've realized that I miss having fun with blogging. I spend far too much time just bitching about stuff that's awful... I've done soooo much of that over the years, and having Trump in our daily... Continue Reading →
WordPress is getting frustrating, y’all
Time for a blogging rant. On my blog. Or whatever it is these days. First off, WordPress began pushing this Gutenberg Editor thing a couple of years ago, which means all your posts are in "blocks" and you don't quite have the same design freedom as before. It's clunky to use and not very forgiving,... Continue Reading →
GOP Death Cult roundup
I have to apologize in advance for some potentially insensitive things I'm gonna say about dead people, but this stuff has me bouncing between rage and apathy like a goddamn ping pong ball. So let's get to it! The potato-faced über-Karen known as Marjorie Taylor Greene has been shitting her ignorance all over social media... Continue Reading →
Texas: a microcosm of the GOP’s worst fuckery
For decades the Texas GOP has managed to maintain Texas' status as the socio-political bunghole of America. They've outdone themselves this time, however. Not only have they outlawed abortion at 6 weeks (when most women wouldn't even know they're pregnant yet), they've turned everyday citizens into anti-choice vigilantes who can spy and snitch on anyone...

This ain’t no “Sexy Ida”
Hurricane Ida expected to be ‘extremely dangerous’ Category 4 storm when it approaches Gulf Coast Hurricane Ida is shaping up to be one of the deadliest hurricanes we've had in decades.
