We were dead and now we're the hottest country in the world, the first country—quite frankly the only country—where a box of breakfast cereal costs $11. We're saying Merry Christmas, and also the r-slur, and we're getting back to saying "gay" so it means "stupid" again. Grown-ups are doing it now,

As a (recovering) alcoholic, I can tell you Wiles apparently has some real world experience with alcoholism.

When I was drinking, I consistently blamed others for my drinking… it was my job being stressful, life being hard, things being unfair.

To me, alcoholism was not accepting responsibility

Honestly, I think the worst part of our current reality is it just feels like Groundhog Day but worse…

Just the same dumb bullshit with no change or consequences…

We all say “that’s not how it works!” But it continues to happen…

Apparently it is how it works, and it fucking sucks

The right wing media bubble…

Hastening the death of TV news by removing the news portion of it…

There is a huge opportunity for actual, good news reporting, we just need to figure out how to monetize it.
the entire thing is a spectacle based on a professional provacateur who comically gut put in charge of CBS news interviewing the bereaved wife of a far right political rabble rouser. No big mystery why adverts are squeamish. anyone w a media background says no shit
Major advertisers appeared to sit out a new CBS News town hall telecast Saturday, moderated by Bari Weiss and featuring an interview with Erika Kirk.

Lack of Madison Avenue support could challenge the viability of the format, which Weiss wants to expand

Honestly… I hate all these companies.

I appreciate that DoorDash drivers are just trying to pay their bills, but their incentive structure sucks and I have little to no recourse when they put my drinks in a way I knock them over to get the food.

But the companies themselves are awful.
EXCLUSIVE: We found that Instacart is using AI algorithms to charge customers different prices for the same items.

It's not just online. It's in physical grocery stores too.

Our months-long investigation with @consumerreports.org and @groundwork.bsky.social found it could cost families $1200/year.

Okay gang, The Onion is 80 sign-ups away from our 60,000th print subscriber.

This would put us in contention for the Top 10 most circulated newspapers in the U.S.

So! We're giving our 60,000th subscriber a mystery box by our archivist as a nice lil thank you.

Sign up now. I'd give it an hour.

I guess they finally let him watch something other than the gorilla channel.
In bizarre, self-pitying tirade, unraveling Trump admits his polling is actually pretty bad and not at record highs, as he keeps claiming

I don’t know how we do this… maybe a post mortem… but I’d love to know if these people actually drank the kool aid and believe the lies they spew or if he’s just a useful idiot and they’ll say whatever as long as they keep getting what they want.

I’m sure it’s a mix.

Both are bad, of course… I’m just not sure which is worse.

True leadership means you never accept blame.
Trump on if he supports the second strike on a drug boat: "As far as the attack is concerned, I still haven't gotten a lot of information because I rely on Pete. I didn't know about the second strike. I wasn't involved in it."

If you say you’d support independent journalism… here’s your chance.
As I said to Onion members:

"We’re an independent company, we don’t use AI to write headlines and make art, and we’re one of roughly three publications who are up for the fight. Unlike other places, The Onion is quadrupling down on being a pain in the ass, politically."

So help out! Grab a paper.
