(Side note: If you fight over territory, it means people suffer. If you fight to lure people into the territory, it means life gets better for people.)

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

This cartoon just made my morning.

A cartoon in 3 panels of an anthropomorphic road guarding a chicken at the 3-point line. The chicken hits the road with a killer crossover.

As a liberal I’m happy to see Gaetz out of a job, but as a mother I’m concerned I now have no idea where he is

Tim Onion @bencollins.bsky.social · Nov 14

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.

The Onion Buys Alex Jones’s Infowars Out of Bankruptcy

The satirical news site planned to turn Infowars into a parody of itself, mocking “weird internet personalities” who peddle conspiracy theories and health supplements.

I like skeets for the ability to replace with streets. “They are for the skeets” etc.
